When I opened the bag, I am sure that I beamed with joy as I noticed that someone was sharing a very special accordian file of old recipes.
There was also a note inside the bag from Kathy Weiser that explained these were recipes from her Aunt Irma Etheridge, who was a home ec teacher in Oneonta for 30 years. Some were hand-written and others were recipes that she had clipped from newspapers and magazines over the years.
When Kathy gave these to me, I am sure she didn't realize how happy I would be to get them. These are the type recipes that my niece, who lives in Arkansas, and I always search for when I go for a visit. Old recipe boxes are tops on our list of desired items and when we go to antique shops or flea markets, we will race to see who can find the "treasure." When one of us buys a recipe-stuffed box, we will sit for hours talking about the recipes.
I noticed that one of the "clipped" recipes had a hand-written note on it. It said, "This recipe appeared in the May issue of Southern Living, which has replaced The Progressive Farmer." I am not sure how many years it has been since The Progressive Farmer has been published, but it has been a long time.
Not many of the recipes have dates on them, but the food prices on some of the ads lets us know that these are old recipes. Can you imagine a one-pound bag of Eight O'Clock Coffee for 55 cents? How about a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter for 33 cents? Raisin bread is rather expensive these days, but back then you could get a 16-ounce loaf for only 29 cents.
I found one hand-written recipe for Red Cake, which I knew was what we now know as Red Velvet Cake. This older recipe has the original icing made with flour. This was the first icing I ever used for Red Velvet Cake and I still like it as well as the cream cheese icing that is now used.
I put aside a handful of recipes that I want to make, one of which is a cherry pecan bread. I decided to go ahead and make the bread and was proud that I did. It is delicious. After making it by the recipe, I made a few changes. Are you surprised? I made it a chocolate cherry bread by adding three tablespoons cocoa. I also opted for self-rising flour instead of the all-purpose. Of course, I left out the baking soda. I added the directions because the recipe simply said "350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes."
I can hardly wait to tell my niece about this old "treasure" that I now have in my collection. I am sure her first remarks will be, "Be sure to bring it with you when you come for a visit!"
Cherry Pecan Bread
¾ cup sugar
½ cup oleo (we just call it margarine now)
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (10 ounce) jar marachino cherries, drained and chopped
1 cup pecans (chopped)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Cream together the sugar and margarine. Add eggs and beat. Combine flour and baking soda. Stir to mix and add to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Add vanilla and mix. Stir in cherries and pecans. Spoon into pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of bread. Remove from pan onto a rack.

Bridgeport remained perfect on the season as it rolled past visiting Bellaire 59-43 in girls' high school basketball action on Frank Baxter Court inside John J. Havlicek Gymnasium Friday night.
The Lady Bulldogs are now a spotless 9-0 heading into a home contest with Bishop Donahue Thursday. The Lady Reds fall to 4-8..
"We played really well as a team," said Bridgeport head coach Rob Zitzelsberger. "The layoff hurt us a little at the start. We only had one practice in seven days, but we passed the ball well and moved it around."
Junior Maclaine Murad continued her stellar play with a game-high 18 points and eight rebounds.
The hosts led 14-5 after eight minutes and 26-17 at the half before blowing the game open with a 22-point third quarter. That increased the lead to 48-26 and basically sealed the deal.
Bellaire did earn a 17-11 advantage in the final stanza to make the final score a little better.
Junior Nicole Smolenak added 14 points, including 10-for-12 from the charity stripe, grabbed eight boards and charted five steals. Freshman dandy Caitlyn Kroll tossed in 13 counters and eight caroms.
Bridgeport led 34-13 off the glass.
Myleah Green paced the Big Reds with a dozen markers. Cari Crozier and Kierstyn Kidder evenly divided 22 points. Kidder had half-a-dozen rebounds.
Bridgeport turned the ball over 14 times, seven less then Bellaire.
No JV game was contested.
Bellaire hosts Buckeye Local Thursday.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Hodgenville Kentucky. He was raised in a log cabin in a poor family on the western frontier. He was home schooled and despite his poor chances of an early education he went on to become the 16th president of the United States.
He is one of the most famous presidents in American history. Much of this is due to his spirit. He was determined to succeed despite his humble beginnings and he was a self educated man and an attorney before he became the President of the United States.
Another reason for his fame is due to the fact the he was the President and a major political figure during one of America's most bloody times, the Civil War which was a time of great political unrest both morally, constitutionally.
Lincoln was a leader in the war against slavery in his political career. He also modernized the economy of his nation and strengthened the national government during his career.
He is responsible for many acts to end slavery including using the army to protect run away slaves, the Emancipation Proclamation and his push to get the thirteenth amendment to the US constitution through the senate which permanently ended slavery in the United States.
He is also famous for his many quotes of wisdom, some of his more famous ones include:
"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."
"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time."
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth."
"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."
"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world."
"No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent."
"Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm."
"Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution.T.hat must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties."
"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."
This is just a collection of his more famous quotes which are still shared today and considered profound words of wisdom even in our modern world.
Abraham Lincoln died by assassination on April 15, 1865. He had served as the President for just over four years. He was shot by John Wilkes Booth while attending a play with his wife at Ford's Theater.
His life has been a great and inspiring example of a man with the true spirit of patriotism and American Ideals of freedom and equality.

Makeover: After a fire, a fresh look and open floor plan
One night in 2010, Charleen and William McCarrick woke to find their house burning down around them. The couple and their three teenage children escaped safely, but the Kings Park house was ruined. The event gave the family a chance to experience the generosity of their neighbors. One was designer Therese A. Pomerenk, who had just graduated from the New York School of Design in Manhattan and offered her services for free. "I was so overwhelmed," says Charleen McCarrick. Previously, the living room, dining room and kitchen were separate. Pomerenk suggested an open floor plan. It took two years, but the McCarricks are finally back in their home. Total: About $35,000 (Pomerenk's fee for a makeover of this type would have been $2,800; construction costs and kitchen remodel were paid directly through an insurance company.) — SYLVIA E. KING-COHEN

My Grandmas & Me
I came across this picture today on my PC and thought I'd upload it.- The photo is of my grandmothers, Ruth (Haley) LeMaster and Bonnie (Lambertson) Wright, celebrating with me when I obtained my Eagle Scout rank. The photo was taken at the First United Methodist Church in Alexandria, IN. I was a member of Troop 381, and one of the youngest, if not the youngest, Eagle Scouts the troop has ever had.
One of my favorite merit badges, was of course, Genealogy!
I remember interviewing my Grandma Wright for my merit badge - her stories about the Lambertson family are some of the oldest files in my family history.
I also remember a trip we took to Dearborn, MI with both grandmas in the car, and being the oldest grandchild, I was able to hear stories from both of them. Grandma LeMaster would tell about milk routes, and living on the farm, and Grandma Wright would tell stories about World War II.
Just missing them today....

Options are bowing out and restricted stock is zooming in for companies trying to retain executives and find new ones.
Due to a variety of factors, the image of loading up pay packages for top officials with options is a fading one.
Cost factors and tax implications have pushed companies into offering restricted stock, which allows employees a stake in the company but proves less onerous, particularly for start-ups short of cash.
"What we've seen, especially starting in the dotcom bubble, was stocks options as the soup du jour of employee incentivization," said Clint Costa, a tax attorney with Chicago law firm Duggan Bertsch. "What we've really seen over the past 10 years is that restricted stock, for various reasons, has become much more prevalent."
(Read more: CEO Pay: Another statistic coming for investors)
As its name implies, restricted stock prevents employees from selling it within a certain time period.
Such arrangements come with the allure of future gains but also don't hamstring new companies looking to preserve their cash.
"If you're a very small company and you're basically bootstrapping or have a little bit of seed capital, it's more expensive to put a stock options plan in place," Costa said. "If you want to offer qualified options, then you've got to have someone to help you through the maze of the tax code."
The numbers tell the story of how many companies have been moving away from options.
As recently as 2007, the percentage of companies in the S&P 1500 that granted options only stood at 16.2 percent. By 2012, that number had fallen to 5 percent, according to executive compensation data firm Equilar. The total granting options (along with restricted stock) went from 78.5 percent to 65.2 percent.
(Read more: SEC to revive rule requiring CEO disclosure of pay gap)
Meanwhile, firms offering restricted stock only surged from 17.8 percent to 32.6 percent. The total granting restricted stock rose from 80.1 percent to 92.8 percent.
Costa said restricted stock is easier to understand than the complicated options world, making it a popular alternative.
"It's just starting to become something that people blog about, and experts say there are so many positives to it," he said. "I think it will continue to grow on its own merits and momentum."

Minimums to avoid fees on basic accounts:
• $1,500 monthly balance or $500 monthly direct deposit for basic checking
• $300 balance for basic savings
• $1,000 balance for money-market account
Interest rates:
• 0.05% on basic savings
• 0.05% on up to $10,000; 0.10% for $10,000 and up via money-market account
Why it's a winner for basic accounts: None of the mammoth banks offer truly free checking, but U.S. Bank -- fourth by number of branches -- waives the $7 to $11 monthly charge on its basic checking accounts with a relatively low direct deposit, an easier hurdle than the minimum balance since you can set it and forget it.
Other fees are lower than those of peer banks (for example, $2.50 to use an out-of-network ATM compared to $3). Plus, the bank is among only a handful offering remote check deposit via its mobile app.
Best of all? U.S. Bank ranked first for employee professionalism and competence in this year's ath Power Ideal Banking study.
Caveat: A measly rate on saving -- less than the industry average of 0.12%. But other big banks are paying even less.
Why it's a winner for senior checking: The simplest option for people 65 plus who want free checking from a big brick-and-mortar bank. Though a recent Pew study found that some senior accounts come with sneaky terms, U.S. Bank's version is in a different league. Seniors are entitled to a Premium Checking account with no maintenance fee (everyone else has to maintain a $5,000 balance or pay up to $13 a month). The account doesn't levy fees for using another bank's ATM and comes with free money orders, free cashier's checks, and a 50% discount on a safe-deposit box. And there's no minimum to avoid fees.
Caveat: It doesn't have some of the perks of our other picks -- such as paying interest or reimbursing fees that other banks charge for using their ATMs. Seniors comfortable banking electronically may be better off with Ally's package.
Don't let the shaky economy stress you out. A grand can still improve your career prospects, lower investment risk, make your home safer and more.

Need a new recipe...
WCSG has ideas for dinner, a family get together, or holiday celebration compiled right here. We've compiled some great tried and true recipes from our staff and other friends of the ministry for you. Take a look and try something new today.
Grilled Salmon
1 ½ lb Salmon filets
Lemon pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Salt to taste
1/3 c Soy sauce
1/3 c Brown sugar
1/3 c Water
1/3 c Vegetable oil or olive oil
Season salmon filets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Put soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and oil into a large ziplock bag. Seal bag and mix ingredients until brown sugar dissolves. Place fish in bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight). Grill on medium, 6-8 minutes on each side, until fish flakes easily with a fork.
This recipe works great on a "George Foreman" type grill.

You've probably heard the phrase "dealer prices for new cars" plenty of times, and quite possibly thought it was just another marketing come-on. It's not exactly misleading, but there are lots of factors that go into a dealer's cost for new cars. Let's talk about some terminology:
- Factory Invoice – This refers to the actual amount billed for the car, from the factory, to the dealer, less "holdback." What's holdback? That's the co-op compensation from the factory to the dealer, for his advertising and marketing efforts; it helps cover the dealer's overhead costs. Usually factory invoice prices are available from the library, the Internet, consumer guides, and sometimes even from the dealer.
- Factory–to-Dealer Incentives – Sometimes referred to as "backdoor money," these incentives can be a little trickier to track down. They're not well-publicized, and can range from hundreds to a few thousand dollars. Factory-to-dealer incentives also change frequently, sometimes even from week to week. In the negotiation process for a new car, don't be afraid to ask the dealer or sales associate about their dealer incentive or rebate.
- Customer Rebates – These have been in place for years and are well-publicized by dealers and manufacturers as a way to attract customers to their new car dealerships. In fact, sales associates will usually be very direct about mentioning customer rebates as a sales tool.
- Dead cost – This is the absolute bottom-line cost, after factory invoice, holdback, factory-to-dealer incentives, and customer rebates are all figured into the price structure.
So let's sum it up. Invoice price/minus holdback/ minus dealer cash/minus customer cash = dead cost. You may hear come-ons that proclaim "$100 over invoice!" but that doesn't take into account the hundreds or even thousands of dollars of hidden profit involved.
One thing you can be sure of, though – when you come to Lewisville VW, you can be assured of straight talk and a good deal on a new car. No shell game, no mumbo-jumbo, and no jumping through hoops. So connect with us via YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook to keep pace with all things Volkswagen!

Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance) >Food & Dining > Sunset Grill

Monday To Saturday From 04:45 PM To 01:30 AM Tuesday To Friday From 11:00 AM To 01:30 AM Saturday From 04:45 PM To 01:30 AM Sunday From 04:45 PM To 11:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Hillsboro West End
Best new menu in town – I have been a frequenter of Sunset Grill for almost 2 decades, and although it has always been one of my favorites, 2009 and 2010 have been some of the most exciting years to go. After years of the same things on the menu, there has finally been a huge change after Chris Cunningham stepped in and took over back in October. Although your favorite classics, such as the voodoo pasta and the sunset caesar are still there for some people's liking, the rest of the menu has been totally revamped, bringing in an explosion of different cultures and tastes. It doesn't matter how picky anyone may be in your dinner party, there is something on the menu to perk up their tastebuds, such as the lamb kefta appetizer or the new trout "BLT". There is also always a full menu of fresh specials that change weekly based upon what's coming in locally. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is local or visiting. If you haven't visited in awhile, swing by and check out the new menu. It's definitely worth a visit!
A Diamond in the Rough – We always stop in Nashville on our way to IU in Bloomington. We were very fortunate to eat at The Sunset Grill last November. What a pleasant surprise!
For a college town, it was very classy, yet "cool" and had very delicious food. The service was extremely competent and hospitable. We are from Atlanta, Ga and have many very good restaurants in our town. The Sunset Grill will definitely be a frequented place on our way to visit our kids at IU. Do not miss this "diamond -in -the rough. Enjoy
VERY mediocre – As a Nashville native, as well as someone who loves to travel and eat great food wherever I go, trust me on this one: skip the Sunset Grill. This is a dinosaur of a restaurant. The menu has not changed in 10 years, and the wine list is unimpresive and equally dated. The food itself is average, at best - and certainly not worth the price paid.
The Sunset Grill comes from a bygone era in Nashville dining, and can not compete with the many other, BETTER restaurants that are populating our fine city. The Sunset refuses to update their menu, and refuses to embrace culinary change of any sort. And perhaps more importantly, the food is uninspired, uninteresting, lackluster, and overall pretty terrible. It's kind of sad, but in the same vein, if they can't grow or move forward then they deserve the dwindling business they've been getting.
Also to note, this place is popular with two types of Nashvillians: Vanderbilt sorority & frat types who think it's posh based solely on its location, and who really don't have any discriminating culinary tastes of their own, and the geriatric Belle Meade crowd. And that's it.
Don't spend your time or money on this dying waste of good real estate.
Venerable Classic Still Kicking – My boyfriend and I had dinner here last week with our parents. We had a great server - who knew the menu and offered great suggestions. We all ordered a starter plus an entree. Everyone was impressed by the starters - sonoma salad, summer salad of cucumbers and tomatoes, scallops. The main entree's were decent - lamb was tasty, pork tenderloin was yummy, vegetarian loved her stuffed pepper, etc.
All in all, I would recommend Sunset to anyone. It's not some fancy new place in town, but rather a classic that's been here for a while and will more than likely stay around for a while. While the food might not be on the cutting edge, it's good portions and tasty.
The patio is the place to be in great weather...
What a deal! – Two of us tried the Prime Grillin specials...what a deal! The steaks were cooked to perfection, and I would definitely recommend the shrimp scampi side. The wine sale is awsome--by the glass or bottle. We will definitely be back for more!
what has happened to the Sunset Grill? – I have dined at Sunset Grill many times during the last few years and have just recently watched the quality and quantity of the food and service deteriorate. The menu is uninteresting and the food is bland, as is the service. Fortunately, there are are many other other restaurants keeping their food and service up to standards during these difficult times. I will be patronizing them.
Awesome Experience! – My boyfriend and I recently dined at Sunset and had a really great time! We were greeted warmly at the door and had our choice of where we wanted to sit. It was a beautiful day so we sat in the atrium area where the windows were open. We were happily surprised to find a whole list of wines at a discounted price, some were even 50% off so we got an excellent Williamette pinot for under 50 bucks! Since the last time we had visited the menu had expanded and we could barely make up our minds! Everything was fantastic-- mussels, filet mignon and the duck. We finished with the apple crisp and nearly slipped into a food coma. Our server was knowledgeable but not pushy (I hate that) and we had a nice time talking with her. All in all, it was an awesome experience and we will definitely be going back!
So OVERPRICED, you will leave hungry and having spent your life savings! Do Not WASTE YOUR MONEY!! – My fiance' and I made reservations at Sunset Grille for Valentine's Day. We stood and waited at the entrance by hostess stand for nearly ten minutes before we were seated. We overlooked it and remained positive. I don't know where to begin...But, the menu is sort of limited. The salad selection is very poor and the entrees are very, very expensive. We were prepared to indulge in the amount of food, the wine and the price because of the occasion. So, we decided on a 29.50 bottle of wine that was "50%" off, when she brought it to the table realized it was "Red Rosso from Sonoma", it's a blend that I've bought several times at the store because it's $9.00. I had to tell her we made a mistake. So we picked another for about $30 and it was decent. My fiance' ordered the scallops entree at $25.00 and I ordered the salmon entree at $20.00. No appetizers. We just munched on the bread. We both drank water and wine. Our waitress was pleasant but lacked personality and enthusiasm you would expect from such fine dining. We got our meals and I was shocked. We didn't get a salad with them or any sides or anything so I expected decent portions. His plate had TWO, yes, TWO scallops on it with some green peas scattered around and a sauce. The sauce was lukewarm, as if it had been sitting out in room air. My fish was a normal size I suppose and over some risotto and a cream sauce. That's it. We spent, with the tip, $97.00 on two scallops and a piece of small salmon and a cheap bottle of red wine. No appetizer, no dessert, no sodas, no tea, no coffee. It was such a huge disappointment. It wasn't fine dining, it was poor service. Not only were we afraid of the portion of dessert we might get but we wondered if we could afford it! We were so ready to get out and wished we had just gone to Maggianos or something tasty and affordable that would fill us up! Do not go to this place, it is such an incredible RIP OFF!!! It's a joke. So sad we went here and spent $100
90's Chic – Average, at best. The service was average; the food was less than delicious. The fried calamari was nearly inedible.
Great half-priced wine!
As a side note, I also felt as if Frasier Crane might walk in at any moment... very 90s.
fresh seafood & local products – i was in for dinner last tuesday with my partner & a couple of friends. it had been awhile since we had last been in because we don't go out too often & when we have we've wanted to try some of the newer fine dining establishments that nashville has recently given us (like watermark & flyte-both fabulous by the way!)but we were drawn in by the 50% off wine sale. how can you go wrong with cheap wine?! as far as the decor not much has changed (except for some new paintings on the wall by dave turner? which were nice but looked a little out of place in contrast to the drab dining room). the food however has changed quite a bit since the last time we were in. they seem to be on the same bandwagon that alot of the other independent restaurants in town that we have been to are on-the whole local/sustainable thing that seems to be sweeping the nation. when we asked our server about a few of the items & where they came from he gave us very informative answers. we started with appetizers-fried homemade pickles (which sound hokey but were really good!), local smoked trout spring rolls & a red beet hummus which was a nice twist on your normal hummus. for an entree i had the special bluefish which i haven't had since i lived up north. i was pleasantly reminded of how good the seafood was when i lived in boston & surprised to be eating it in nashville of all places! my partner had a grouper special that was served with a duck fat fried potato & cabbage hash that was to die for. our friends ordered off the menu. one had a moroccan barbecued tennessee farm raised chicken dish which was light & full of flavor-especially for a chicken dish. the other had the scallops which he enjoyed but were a little bit overdone in my opinion. the desserts hadn't changed much since we were in last but we did have a fresh local berry cobbler with creme fraiche ice cream that was quite yummy. we'll definitely be back sooner next time-especially if we can eat good food with cheap high end wines!

U.V. PROTECTION's 1st album CONSUMER MATERIAL, a lost Boston underground music treasure from 10 years ago!
UV PROTECTION came out of a scene centered around Mass Art (the public Massachusetts College of Art) that was fostered by show booker/label head/ party thrower, Ben Sisto, himself a Mass Art student. From there the band exploded into the basements and many other odd spaces all over the Boston area. Based primarily out of Somerville, and part of the 440R Collective based just outside of Union Sq., they might possibly have been the most popular band in Boston underground music leading up to and during the time surrounding their 1st album, CONSUMER MATERIAL. They may also be the last Somerville performers to achieve such popularity.
Sisto's label HONEYPUMP RECORDS released the record in 2004. Icy, and shambling synth-pop permeates the thing. LILLIPUT gone new wave rather than punk, or ESG if they'd taken opera lessons and had a large pile of keyboards. Something like that.
At their best this band had packed basements across the city writhing to their bubbling poppy, post-punk. One of the best post-punk bands Boston has seen, these 4 women, 2 synths/ drums/ dancer wearing different costumes for EVERY show (designed by one of the band's 2 singers Karen Tsiakais) should have known wider popularity but it never happened. A second self-released record CLEAN MODERN COMFORTABLE followed 3 years later. Bands spawned of UV's demise include THE SECRET SEA.

Help Shape the Future of the FMA
This month, the Free Music Archive celebrates its 5th year since it emerged from the Internet-hole. Can you imagine the web without it? In that time, the FMA has helped user generated content flourish, helped artists connect with new fans, and filled all of our personal harddrives to the brim. We are one of the largest collections of Creative Commons music online, reaching 70,000 curated tracks this Spring.
It's time for me to go, and leave this vessel in the hands of a new captain. I've accepted a new position working at Slate, and now it's time to find the next person to lead this project into its bright future.
More info about the job here.
During the transition, continue to share share all your troubles and victories with contact (@) freemusicarchive.org, and someone will always get back to you. That person right now is the wonderful Faye.
In my time at the FMA, we've worked together to remix public domain ephemera with the Prelinger Archive, and overthrow the Birthday song. We've welcomed exciting new FMA curators including AS220, Radio Bunker, Radius, CKUT and Boston Hassle. We even built an app for iPhone, and launched our own Free Song of the Day Podcast.
I've adored being a part of our parent project WFMU, and learned so much from watching how the staff, volunteers & DJs keep the magic factory full of magic. Thanks to the FMA's founding director Jason for all of his guidance and bottomless enthusiasm for the project. No one has made more mixes on the FMA than my old desk-mate WFMU's Liz B, who broadcasts her favorite FMA uploads every Monday morning on WFMU. Also infinite credit goes to WFMU's stellar volunteers Matt Marando and Mario Santana who masterfully master and upload all the sessions that come through WFMU over the years. Big kudos to Lou Z and Chris M who have led our team of volunteer submission screeners.
Thank you all again! Viva FMA!

The Rapture, in Several Shades of Orange; Future Death Toll LIVE on My Castle of Quiet, 4.9.2014
The concentrated joy of this set by Future Death Toll is its own reward. Fresh off of tour, the band sounded a-frickin'-mazing, and I was immediately confronted with a familiar feeling, of "O, Lucky Man!" ...I dig deep into the underground, bobbing for those most-artistic of apples, and this time came up with the OUTSTANDING sounds of FUTURE DEATH TOLL!!! Indeed, I am fortunate, to have this incredible OUTLET wherein I can extend invitations to artists such as these, and they just show up and play! Sit in that Studio B chair sometime, and you'll begin to understand how good the years of MCoQ weekly broadcasts have been to me, and my colleagues at the station, and to WFMU's devoted listeners. The kiss of WFMU is GOLDEN, and I need to remember to utilize this opportunity, in order to bestow upon all who care the rareified talents of artists like these.
Based on a barely labeled cassette tape I had received a long time ago, different from this set (more "home studio," obviously), I knew this band would make good use of the opportunity for a live radio set, and I was not disappointed. Though the tape is generally "lighter," as might be expected, as well as more song-oriented, F-DT do a lot of different things, and as with Slasher Risk before them (see this set from 2010), the variety of their capabilities just meant that playing live on the radio revealed another layer. They were noisy, dense and intense, but not entirely free-form, with themes that arose, dominated and then dissipated, as you will hear.
Though I did not have a pile of hard releases to muse over and absorb, there's quite a lot posted online, both to the band's Web site, and their YouTube page, and I've been at this long enough, that I knew for certain that F-DT's radio set would not disappoint, and it went far beyond that, into dazzling territory, rousing a hearty, enthusiastic response from Castleheads on our playlist comments.
So sit back, listen and enjoy. Massive props to engineer Juan Aboites for applying his considerable and diverse talents to making Future Death Toll radio-ready; whatever I throw at him, he makes the very best of it, rising to every challenge. Thanks also to Tracy Widdess for again making excellent, memorable photo art from my on-the-quick iPhone band captures.

Radius PATCH 06: Ghosts
PATCH is a series of curated playlists selected from the Radius episode archive. Each playlist is organized around a specific topic or theme that engages the tonal and public spaces of the electromagnetic spectrum. PATCH serves as a platform to illuminate the questions, concerns, and complexities of and within radio-based art practices.
PATCH 06: Ghosts
In 1994, while living in Florence, Italy, in a top-floor apartment of the former Ursuline convent on the via Guelfa, Jeff Gburek experienced sounds shaped by random processes through a shortwave radio. During radio listening sessions in the middle of the night, Gburek noticed that when the stations closer to him signed off, sudden gaps, chasms of vibrant static, new stations, and other signals from afar drifted in - often from places too far off to seem within logical range. Coming later to understand that these bounced signals where effects generated by ionic scatter and extreme weather conditions, even solar flares and meteorite showers, his immediate intuition became reinforced: even the so-called random noises where not devoid of meaning; outer space was being communicated inside the inner space of the listening experience. Behind the novel sonic effects, there was an alive and expressive cosmos.

I already posted this on the DC hardcover discussion (I only collect CGC graded books or HC/TPB), but since I had a good percentage of Hellboy books I'll share it here too:
When it comes to Hellboy I lost:As some of you might remember me telling earlier this year I had to sell most of my collection to help pay some medical bills, it was around June that I started rebuilding my comic library with just Hardcovers/TPB's.
Fast forward to October I had to move my collection to a new house, and until I had settled in I left it on my old house storage room (it's an apartment complex, I never used the storage room but it was just for a few weeks so I thought there wouldn't be a problem)...
Today I went there to bring back my books and I face myself with a disaster of epic proportions, water had entered through the ceiling and destroyed most of my collection!
Only a few books survived, but to give you an idea here's what I lost:
Hellboy Library Edition 1-5
BPRD Book 1 and 2
Goon (all the volumes plus the Chinatown hardcover)
A few DC New 52 Collection
Some Marvel Premiere Classics
Mouse Guard (I really liked those mice)
Some random TPB/HC
I hauled all those damaged books to my house and phoned a friend to see if he'd like to read some of them (the ones you could still read), I didn't ask any money but he still gave me 100 Euros for remembering him and to help me rebuild my collection... Now I must purchase all of those again!
Library Editions
BPRD Books 1 and 2
Baltimore Hardcovers
Abe Sapien TPBs
Witchfinder TPBs
Lobster Johnson TPBs
Weird Tales TPBs + House of the Living Dead HC
Now I must get all of these back again!
I ordered today the first Library Edition to cheer me up, I was really p*ssed off!

During the years we taught together, she was the epitome of what a teacher should be. She was extremely organized, yet flexible. She was always prepared and ready to teach, helping her students learn the necessary skills to become successful. More importantly, she genuinely cared about her students. She was respected by all, for she was a team player as well as an advocate for the students.
As a retired teacher, she has remained active in the community and continues to strive for ways to improve education for all students. She has the heart, the knowledge, and the desire to get things done to improve education for the children of Calhoun County. I encourage you to vote Nov. 6 for my friend, Debbie Hess, for the Calhoun County Board of Education.
