Mary Logue talks about writing, and 'Giving Up the Ghost'
Star Tribune editor: Our serial fiction and e-book project
Read the replay: Live chat with author Mary Logue on 'Giving Up the Ghost'
Serial novels reveal how we're willing to wait for a good story
Chapter 37 continues
So far: Gary admits he's been thinking about Richard's ghost.
I waited.
"About Rich's ghost," he continued, then stopped again as if he expected me to jump in with something, like, oh, that was a joke, me admitting that I hadn't really seen Richard's ghost.
"Yes," I nudged him. "What about the ghost?"
"Maybe you're seeing something in the dark and then imagining it's Rich."
"Could be."
"I suppose. I haven't had much experience with ghosts." I thought about what he had said for a moment — what we see in the dark. We were hardly in the dark anymore. "There have been many fewer ghost sightings since electricity was invented."
"Just a guess, but it makes sense, doesn't it? When people didn't have lights to turn on at the click of a finger, they probably saw a lot more strange and gloomy things in the dark."
"I guess. You're not mad that I'm suggesting you're making up this ghost?"
"Of course not. Don't you think I have thought that myself? I'm pretty existential about it all. In a way everything I see I make up. It's my world."
"Is it scary to be seeing this ghost?" Gary asked.
"It's Richard. How could he be scary? I mean if it was someone I didn't know who was appearing at the foot of my bed with an ax in his hand, that would be scary. But Richard's just kind of wandering around the way he did before he was dead. I find it very comforting."
"So you're not worried about the ghost?"
I admitted, "I'm a little worried. Either way. If I'm making it up, then why? And what does that mean? If it's really real, what does he want?"
"I'm glad you told me."
"Yeah, it feels better to have someone else know. Maybe I won't see it again now that I've told you."
"That would be fine," Gary said, then added, "Sorry for throwing the turkey at the table last night."
"I thought it was the high point of the meal."
"I thought the high point was when you were trying out for the broad jump as you went after Lucinda," Gary said.
"How was my form?"
"Amazing. I'd give you a nine point oh."
"The good thing is — it's over. Thanksgiving is over." I thought for a moment. "Now, if I can get through Christmas, I can have a total nervous breakdown in January in peace and quiet."
"Come home," Gary said.
"Come back to the Cities where we can bug you a little more easily."
We said our good-byes. Cloud turned upside down and meowed as if to ask, who was that?
"Soon," I told her. "Very soon."
• • •
I finished the pillowcase. The careful stitches captured something of the languidness of a happy cat. I found an old down pillow at the bottom of the bedroom closet and stuffed it in the newly embroidered case. I put the pillow on the hearth, plumped it up nicely and then set Cloud on top of it. She sniffed it, then walked away, back to the warm and comfortable couch.
My stomach growled so I scrounged some leftovers for dinner. The thought of cooking anything left me feeling weak. I didn't want to eat, but it would pass the time. The last piece of pumpkin pie was gone — I'd eaten it for breakfast.
The turkey carcass looked like the hull of an old abandoned ship with its sails in tatters. I picked a few strips of meat off it and made a sandwich.
When I went back in the living room with my sandwich, intending to make a fire, I noticed movement out the window.
Tiny white parachutes were falling from the sky.
"Oh, Cloud," I said. "It's snowing."
Tomorrow: Chapter 37 continues.

Re:Boom (814 comments)
That "Anti-Gun Propaganda" was being spewed by a gun owner and a CWL holder. Nothing about that video was anti gun. That video was anti POS "lockable storage containers" which are passed off a "safes". And the lock on that 92FS could be quickly and easily removed without much effort. That could be picked easily or removed with bolt cutters.
Re:Smart guns... (814 comments)
Brilliant way to waste money. Just take it to a gun shop which will give you a bill of sale and when they sell it they have to run a background check.
Re:Smart guns... (814 comments)
Attempting to shoot someone in the foot is stupid and dangerous. Extremities are very small and difficult to hit and shooting at possibly hard ground can cause a ricochet which would put others in danger. If you are shooting at a person, you shoot for center of mass. If the situation doesn't require lethal force, you shouldn't bring a weapon into the situation.

Yes, I'm sure this system is going to wonders for my abysmal split times.

No, the AK is preferred around the world is because it's stupidly cheap and if you can't find some of the millions in existence, you make one mostly out of sheet metal and rivets. On top of that

There are people across the spectrum that believe in private firearm ownership, however the overwhelming majority are found on the right. I'd say 80 to 90% of gun owners are right leaning.

Re:Barrel and slide/bolt too? (625 comments)
Are you fucking kidding me? Half the gun nuts I know are fast approaching the fringe right and love the police state so long as the police state applies to everyone else. Most of them are moderates but they are single issue voters when it comes to firearms, the rest either libertarians or left leaning.
Re:co-conspirator (1111 comments)
I don't think an NICS denial is grounds for prosecution considering the frequency of false positives and people not having any idea why they are being denied. The real prosecutions result from straw purchases and lying on the form 4473.

A Northwestern University employee assigned to write a book about the notorious 1924 murder of a 14-year-old boy by two University of Chicago law students is being sued by the school for taking restricted files.
Nina Barrett was assigned to write a book on Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb — two wealthy students who murdered Bobby Franks in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court.
The north suburban university hired Barrett to write the book in 2009 after she curated a successful exhibit about the murder for the school. She left the school in December 2013 and did not return any of her files or research materials, according to the suit.
Northwestern conducted a forensic examination of Barrett's school-issued laptop upon her departure and discovered she copied files related to the Leopold-Loeb book onto a USB flash drive, the lawsuit said. She also "restricted" access to certain files for her own benefit, according to the suit.
Barrett acknowledged that Northwestern contacted her about returning the files, but said the lawsuit "does not sound like an accurate description" of what really happened.
"I would love to talk about what I think," she said. "But there are legal discussions going on and I don't think I can comment."
Barrett began working for Northwestern in 2006 and was promoted in 2011 to a communication specialist, the suit said. She said she recently opened a bookstore in Evanston.
The four-count suit seeks unspecified damages and claims copyright infringement. The university is also seeking compensation for legal fees.
Calls made to the school and its lawyers were not immediately returned Wednesday evening.

We all agree there isn't a lot of talk about the revival stories, a problem I've experienced and tried to address with John Woodbridge in A God-Sized Vision. Keller notes with appreciation the recent interest in evangelism but notes that revival leads to an ingathering of new believers. "The best way to reach people is to show them something gorgeous here," he says.
Reformed Christians rightly emphasize the need for doctrinal reformation. Indeed, revival does not come to apostate churches. But it's possible to focus so much on our efforts to reform church doctrine that we don't bother to ask God to work in extraordinary ways. We neglect this privilege of prayerful, faith-expanding hope to our spiritual detriment.
Familiarizing yourself with God's mighty works of the past is a good place to begin tuning your heart to pray for awakening today. Keller notes how he has visited the place where a prayer meeting revival broke out in New York City in 1857. DeMoss finds encouragement in Isaiah 64:5, which says, "You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways."
Join us in asking God to revive his church again!

More than a dozen companies will provide continuous monitoring and diagnostics capabilities for the Homeland Security Department's recently announced blanket purchase agreement designed to bolster civilian agency cyber defenses.
DHS made the awards under a continuous-monitoring-as-a-service (CMaaS) BPA that could be worth up to $6 billion for the 17 companies that will provide hardware and software under the contract.
The agency declined comment on the announcement.
The contract shows DHS is committed to stepping up cybersecurity capabilities for civilian agencies, moving beyond Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requirements, said those familiar with the effort.
"FISMA was a start," said Kenneth Kartsen, vice president and head of federal business at McAfee, one of the vendors whose products will be incorporated into CMaaS offerings to DHS. FISMA gave the federal government a security posture that required security reporting, but didn't specify real-time capabilities, he said. The more immediate proficiencies offered through the new BPA have become increasingly important as cyberattacks and intrusions have ramped up in scale and ambition.
DHS's CMaaS looks to put a common set of technical tools in place that incorporate national and industry standards that can help federal agencies detect network anomalies in real-time, speeding their ability respond to problems.
"The cyber landscape in which federal agencies operate is a constantly changing and dynamic environment and threats to the nation's information security continue to evolve," said Booz Allen Executive Vice President Chris Kelly.
Booz Allen is one of the 17 companies tapped by the BPA.
"This is a good thing for cybersecurity," said Pamela Walker, senior director for homeland security at the trade group TechAmerica. Walker said the DHS CMaaS contracts show the department is advancing cybersecurity at federal civilian agencies. "OMB has been pushing federal agencies to use CMaaS" for cost efficiencies as well as cybersecurity, she noted.
GSA will run the contract, but said the BPAs were established on behalf of the DHS Office of Cybersecurity and Communications Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Program. The CDM Program, according to GSA, helps transform the way federal and other government entities manage cyber networks through strategically sourced tools and services. The CDM Program, it said, brings an enterprise approach to continuous diagnostics, and allows consistent application of best practices.

Philips introduces AirPlay speakers, Engadget goes hands-on
No, those units you see above aren't cannons -- they're speakers, released by Philips and branded as the Fidelio SoundSphere DS9800Ws, according to our buddies at Engadget who got to see a version of the speakers wirelessly playing through the AirPlay hookup. Like most great speakers with lots of bells and whistles, however, these aren't cheap. The full size models will run US$800 for the pair, with the smaller models running $400.
Want something a little more affordable? The AD7000W models run (only?) $230. All of the speakers will be out in time for the holiday later on this year, and for more on how well they work, you can check out the video on Engadget.
For my money, a nice headset will probably be cheaper than these speakers and provide sound that's just as solid. If you want some sweet AirPlay functionality to show off to house guests, that's one thing, but if you just want to listen to 16-bit music files, why spend all that money?

Still thinking about the whole Kog'Maw thing, I want to know how many people think I could do "Well" or "Decent enough" or..."Terrible" with him if I were to make a smurf as Kog'Maw.
... ... ... ... ...
Scrubby Yum Yums
Ask Talon
There are other threads to ask this.
Ms Annie Hastur
I think Kog'maw should be shelved for a bit longer than normal. Who knows, Ereb might come back. But god ****, he was one of the best.
We all miss him yes, but Ereb won't come back to take kog's thread back. When he did come back that time he wasn't even interested in taking back his thread when i posted with my ask kog account. This tells me that he doesn't want it anymore. As for you Vice. Remember what I said. Also before you take over make the account first before you study up kog's thread.
Plus if you do mess up with kog. We could always help you learn. Just make sure you don't do that same mistake again. I'll give you some pointers on how to role play kog too. Also vice, no more random post like you did before. Cause if you do you don't have the right to play kog. Just a warning. Although if your not that confident about what you could become then I'll happily take over it...So you gonna do this or not?

Anyone out there know of a method to propagate numbers of Echeveria - not just one or two. I have thought of removing the growing tip, but hesitate ot damage before I am sure of a result.
What happens if you try to propagate the flower stem, with its leaves still on, as a cutting. Will roots form from the leaf axils on the flower stem? Anthostachys |

Years ago, I sent away for twelve different kinds of "Hen & Chicks" Some of them looked almost exactly alike, so I took the time to label them correctly, etc. The next day, my pet goose pulled them up and took them to my fish pond and had a ball with them. She damaged them so badly that I couldn't plant them in that condition. So I pulled off the leaves that weren't too badly damaged and planted them in sand and peat combination. Almost every one of them survived. I then had a LOT of plants, but didn't know their names!! |

(Updates with comparison to controller's report in second paragraph.)
Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- California's tax collections in the first quarter of the fiscal year fell short of projections by $654 million, or about 3.4 percent, the state Finance Department reported.
The estimate today is in line with figures released by state Controller John Chiang on Oct. 10. The Democratic controller said California was $705 million, or 3.6 percent, short of budget targets for the year that began July 1.
If the most-populous state is likely to fall $1 billion or more behind revenue forecasts for the year, California will cut funding for universities, social services and other programs under a series of automatic triggers written into the budget. A $2 billion shortfall would result in cuts to public education that could shorten the school year by seven days and end subsidies for busing.
"In November and December, the Legislative Analyst's Office and Finance will produce new forecasts of revenue for the 2011-12 fiscal year based on the economic and cash data available at those times," according to the report. "It is these forecasts that will determine whether the 'trigger' budget reductions will be implemented."
Chiang said the numbers "do not paint a hopeful picture" in anticipating whether the automatic cuts can be avoided.
Today's figures differ from Chiang's because some money received by the state is counted sooner by the agency than by the controller, said H.D. Palmer, a Finance Department spokesman, in an e-mail message.
"Each month, there may be such timing differences," Palmer said. "Over time, both reports are the same."

Hey all,
I'm working on a modern bathroom remodel. I am using a trough sink to provide enough space for two people. I need help with the faucets. I am considering using this wall mounted faucet (two of them) and need your opinion: http://www.cifialusa.com/showproduct.php?sid=293 I like this faucet because it will match the other Cifial shower fixtures, but also because the single control is on THE END of the spout! This might be handy because then your dripping hands stay over the sink the entire time by not needing to reach back to a wall control, and will reduce water drips from hands over the vanity countertop. I have not seen any other like it. My concern is that the faucet control end is at 11", while the spout center is at 8.5" from the wall -- so splashing your face, for example, will require a little horizontal hand movement to get out from under the spout control The angle of water stream is straight downward, which does not help this situation (as opposed to angled toward the user). Do you think this will be a "rad" choice, or an ergonomic problem I will regret? Thanks! |

I imagine it would take a little time to get used to it but the motions wouldn't be all that different from turning on the tap at the back of the faucet. I think it looks cool and if it matches your other fixtures even better! |
Here's your pic. Is your sink deep enough to handle the splash from a faucet spraying straight down? |
- Posted by charliehorse99 (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 12 at 11:36
I wasn't think about splash being an issue, so that is a good point. The sink is about 5" high, with a fairly flat bottom. However, the faucet has an aerator so that should cut down on the splashing. My concern is that since the sink is 10.5" deep, which means the faucet reach for the spout is in ... what... 2-3 inches? Plus the 2.5" extra reach for the control.. that puts the fixture reaching 50% of the way over the sink, leaving 5" of space for hands and face. Is 5" enough, or too tight? |
Very cool faucet. By 10.5" deep, do you mean front to back depth? If so, then, yes, 5" seems like it might be a little tight. But since vanity tops often are 21" or 22" deep (front to back), could you position the sink a little further forward so that the faucet is thereby more toward the back of the trough sink? Did that even make sense? |
- Posted by charliehorse99 (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 0:21
Right, 10.5" front to back. I understand what you mean but how close to the back of the sink can I put the water spout? I was thinking 2 to 3" otherwise when you wash your hands they will touch the back of the sink (yuck!). Is this too conservative? |
We have an older, somewhat weird Italian sink with an integral faucet that is positioned very close to the back. I took some measurements -- and your idea of only needing about 3" at the back should be doable. Our sink is 14" front to back, but the faucet spout only sticks over the basin a little ways. I laid a measuring tape along the back-to-front diameter and turned on the water. The water hits the tape at the 3" mark. Now, this sink is deeper than your trough sink and it's also shaped differently in that it's deepest at the back end (7") and then slopes up toward the front. But still, our hands don't bump into the back of the sink when we use it. Hope this helps. |
Charliehorse, did you buy the Cifial? Any issues? I like the elegance of the faucet linked below but can't find it anywhere (this photo is from a post on Houzz that highlighted the sink). The Cifial is attractive though for the function you mentioned. |
Here is a link that might be useful: contemporary wall mount faucet
- Posted by charliehorse99 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 13 at 15:16
I did use Cifial for all the shower fixtures, but not the lav wall mount faucets mentioned above. I decided to go with a Hansgrohe Metris S, model 31161 |
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The Metris looks nice but it's not for wall mount is it? I wonder if the control is too close to the nozzle and would be awkward to turn on and off. Actually, how would one turn it on? Turn it to the left for hot; to the right for cold, but then what? |
- Posted by charliehorse99 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 27, 13 at 16:17
Nah, I ended up going with deck mount not wall mount. I felt like the wall mount was not worth the added effort, and I have a narrow sink and deep countertop so it would have forced the sink location to be set back too far. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 8:43
I hate all pull on/push off faucets....they were popular a number of years back and there simply is no controlling the flow without a lot of effort...to get them started you pull and it comes out all the way, the spray comes on full and you get splattered. If you try to push in gently to control the flow to minimize the flood, you will invariably spend a lot of time trying to find just the right spot. What a pain. And as the faucet gets used over the years, it gets gunkier so the controls are even less smooth and it becomes even a bigger PITA. DH and I had massive verbotens against any faucet of this kind. |

Approach With Importunity
"And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." – Luke 11:9-10 (ESV)
In this exposition on prayer, Jesus encourages us to approach God with importunity and the certainty that our prayers will be heard. As we would come to a close friend in a time of need, our Heavenly Father desires us to lay aside our pride and doubt, and to confidently seek His guidance and aid.
2 Responses to "Approach With Importunity"
Love your post, Phil. God waits for us to come to Him, we just need to put things aside and go to him. Who better to go to than the Lord.
Blessings to you and praying for a Happy Easter for you and your family.

Sevendust – Time Travelers & Bonfires Album Review
Sevendust are about as consistent a metal band as you can find. Over the course of nine albums, these southern gents have never turned in a bad record. Of course, their consistency extends beyond quality and into style as well. Sevendust's nine studio albums may all be enjoyable listens, but not one of them really differs all that greatly from any of its brethren.
That's why it was a pleasant surprise to learn that the band's tenth studio album would be an acoustic affair. Now, unplugging from the amps isn't anything new for Sevendust. A decade ago, they released the well-received Southside Double-Wide, but that was a collection of live acoustic cuts. Time Travelers & Bonfires is their first collection of studio-recorded acoustic songs. That by itself offered the exciting prospect of finally hearing a new twist on the Sevendust formula.
But one glance at the track list shows that while TT&B represents a relatively new approach to the music, like the rest of the band's catalog, it will be plenty familiar to fans. That's because of the dozen tracks here, six are reworkings of past hits. A majority of the re-recorded tracks hail from the band's first four albums, but thankfully only one is a repeat from Southside ("Black", because let's be honest, that song is mandatory to include). The first six songs from TT&B, however, are new creations, crafted specifically for the acoustic treatment, rather than being reinterpretations of electric jams.
Green Day – Demolicious Album Review
Last weekend was Record Store Day, the annual celebration of independent record stores that sees tons of bands and artists contribute special releases to be sold exclusively in local independent brick and mortar shops. It's important to support these awesome, vital outlets! Personally, I was able to snag my local store's last remaining copies of Bruce Springsteen's American Beauty 12″ vinyl and Green Day's Demolicious CD, the latter of which I'm here to talk about today.
If you thought Green Day had already far oversaturated the market recently with their 2012 album trilogy (¡Uno!, ¡Dos, and ¡Tré!) and 2013′s video-album follow-up, ¡Cuatro!, fret not–Demolicious, as the name suggests, is not another standard studio album; rather, it's a collection of 16 demos of songs taken from the aforementioned album trilogy, along with an acoustic cut ("Stay the Night") and an unreleased song that was recorded during the trilogy sessions ("State of Shock"). Like almost every demo collection, this is a for-fans-only kind of release, but there's enough here to satisfy hardcore Green Day fans.

Despite what has become regular mini-cycles of teasings and subsequent denials of new Tool music over the years, most of us fans have resigned ourselves to the likelihood that we probably aren't going to hear new Tool music any time soon, so we had best learn to live with that fact and be content with the notion that the band at the very least intends to put out new music at some point on an increasingly distant horizon. Tool is one of the most influential, groundbreaking metal bands of all time. But in the 22 (!) years since they released their debut EP, Opiate, they've put out a mere four (!) records. In fact, next week marks the eighth anniversary of the release of Tool's last album, 10,000 Days. There's obviously something to be said for quality over quantity–and each of Tool's records is indeed a gem unto itself–but dammit, can they be just a tad more prolific, please?
So why am I talking so much about Tool in a review for a brand new band, Lesser Key, which just put out its debut self-titled EP? Because Paul D'Amour, Tool's original bassist who played in that band for five years, until departing in 1995 after the release of Undertow, is now the bassist and keyboardist for Lesser Key, and his Tool-like influence is clearly heard. Not only did D'Amour help write Undertow classics like "Sober" and "Prison Sex," but he was involved in the writing process for some AEnima's best songs as well, like "Stinkfist" and "Eulogy," even though he didn't play on the latter record.
Lake Street Dive – Bad Self Portraits Album Review
Lake Street Dive, a previously little known pop-jazz-soul throwback schooled at the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music, got the vaunted "Colbert bump" in a big way in early February. At first, what was so unique about that appearance was that it marked the band's television debut (and several weeks before this album, Bad Self Portraits, had even come out, no less). That in and of itself showed that Colbert and his staff were endorsing this music in a huge way by giving them such a big stage without any prior TV exposure. The second thing that jumped out about the performance was far more obvious–this band's sound is amazing! (thus proving that Colbert was absolutely on the money by giving them the spotlight)
Fronted by the not-so-secret weapon of Rachael Price and her gigantic, golden voice, Lake Street Dive lay down classic throwbacks to 1960′s era soul music, punctuated by pop-jazz inflections with some Motown and swing thrown in for good measure. The end product is so genuinely and earnestly retro, you'd be hard-pressed to peg this as a modern band.
Animals as Leaders – The Joy of Motion Album Review
With another album from instrumental progressive metallers, Animals as Leaders, comes another lineup change–and more proof that as long as guitarist Tosin Abasi is the glue holding everything together, fans won't have to worry about the band's sound changing all that much. After the self-titled debut, which was largely a solo project by Abasi (he played both guitar and bass, with programmed drums provided by Periphery's Misha Mansoor), Abasi expanded his project into a bona fide trio, enlisting the help of rhythm guitarist Javier Reyes and drummer Navene Koperweis. Here, on AaL's third album, The Joy of Motion, Koperweis is out, and Matt Garstka is now manning the drum kit.
It's a fluid transition, as Abasi seems to have a pretty firm grip on how he wants this band to sound, and a new member isn't going to alter that. While The Joy of Motion isn't a huge departure from either of its predecessors, it is, without a doubt, the most focused, and, perhaps surprisingly, laid back. The album is still constructed on a bedrock of heavy djenty guitar rhythms, densely packed textural dynamics, and electronic flourishes. But Abasi's guitar playing is decidedly less aggressive, less consistently forward-lurching, and much more content to hang back and explore the band's long-standing jazzy-prog influences.
Aloe Blacc – Lift Your Spirit Album Review
I had an extremely difficult time making it all the way through Aloe Blacc's new album, Lift Your Spirit, in order to write this review. Actually, let me rephrase that to be a bit more specific: I had an extremely difficult time making it past track one.
You're all probably wondering how an album can be that terrible, right? No! That's not what I meant. It's just that the leadoff hitter on this record, "The Man," is so colossally amazing that I must have hit repeat on it about 50 times before letting the record naturally proceed to track two. Seriously, if this album title is a mission statement, it succeeds in spades based on that song alone. Play it while you're cruising in your car on a nice day with the windows down and try not to feel like a fuckin' boss.
You've probably all heard "The Man" by now. It was the soundtrack to the awesome Colin Kaepernick/Beats headphones commercial that ran during the NFL playoffs (and which made Seahawks fans look like unhinged sociopaths), and has now shown up in several similar sports-themed Beats ads. It's the rare song that portrays such a cool, confident swagger without coming off as garish or overcompensating.
Future Islands – Singles Album Review
You can't write a review of Future Islands' new album, Singles, without talking about "the performance." What kind of performance could be so all-encompassing as to force itself into every mention of this record? It was your standard late night gig–on Letterman no less–that turned out to be anything but standard. I've posted the video below for your viewing pleasure (and I do emphasize pleasure). If by some chance you haven't had the instant-joy experience of watching this yet, stop reading now and scroll down and click play. Go ahead, I'll wait.
See? You don't have to thank me for putting that gigantic smile on your face. Thank Future Islands.
That performance encapsulates much of what makes this band and this album special. The fearlessness, the emotional honesty, the complete lack of all pretension…and the dance moves. THOSE MOVES! Singles has plenty of the silkiest grooves to have you doing the shake and shuffle all day and all night long. And I have to give extra special props to that Letterman gig, because, honestly without it, this band and this album probably never would have landed on my radar. You just never know when you're going to hit on that next golden musical nugget.
Junius – Days of the Fallen Sun EP Review
Boston post-rock band Junius release more EPs than they do full-lengths, with Days of the Fallen Sun serving as the latest short-player in the band's catalog.
This EP may have eight tracks, but it's essentially four proper songs, broken up by four sub-one minute ambient preludes to each. Honestly, the four interludes could be removed and the record would not be affected in the slightest; I actually might prefer it that way. What's left is about 22 minutes of majestic, grandiose post-rock with a true focus on song structure. A lot of post-rock bands–especially instrumental ones–take the path of exploration rather than employing identifiable structure.
But Junius has the secret weapon of vocalist/guitarist/synth player Joseph E. Martinez, whose crystal clear, strong, clean baritone demands to be showcased in powerful choruses and tight, cascading verses. Junius is a metal-ish band, primarily because Martinez's lush voice makes them so much more accessible than your average post-metal troupe. On the record's heaviest track, "Battle in the Sky," Martinez briefly veers away from the clean singing to bust out some ferocious screaming and join in on some vigorously chanted gang exhortations. In the context of the rest of the record, the rarity of this screaming makes its presence all the more powerful.
The gorgeous mix of soaring, reverb-soaked guitars and persistent synths, aided by a bang-up production job from Will Benoit, create one of the more instantly intoxicating post-rock records you'll hear. The shame is that it's over just as it really starts to hit its stride. I'd love to hear what an entire full-length would have sounded like.
Deafheaven – Sunbather Album Review
I'll admit right up front that I completely missed the boat on Deafheaven's monumental album, Sunbather, when it was released last year. But I don't think I'm the only one. As the critical year-end lists rolled out, and this album that many people had never heard of before started showing up at or near the top of every single one of them, we were forced to take notice. Thank the music gods for that, because this is legitimately one of the finest albums I have ever heard.
Now, I didn't feel that way after my first listen–or even my second, or third. Sunbather is a difficult, complex album, that challenges you every step of the way. Most people will give up on it after one listen, if they even make it that far. But it's a grower, revealing itself sliver by sliver, listen by listen, until this intricately beautiful and cathartic masterpiece is revealed.
The individual elements that comprise Sunbather are not new, in and of themselves. It's essentially post-rock, shoe-gazey instrumental rock, and–of all things–black fuckin' metal all thrown in a mixing bowl and churned together. It's the resulting creation that is new and transcendent. Think Explosions in the Sky meets Russian Circles meets your favorite Scandinavian corpse-painted crew. I understand if that sounds like a train wreck to you. Black metal is not a genre normally accessible to outsiders, and it's those influences that make this such a challenging, but also ultimately rewarding, album.
The Gaslight Anthem – The B-Sides Album Review
B-sides collections are generally fan-only affairs–that is, already established listeners will find joy in discovering overlooked gems and reinterpretations from the vaults of their favorite bands, while new listeners might struggle to find an accessible entrance. While that's generally the case with the new matter-of-factly titled, The B-Sides, from Garden State rockers The Gaslight Anthem, it's still got more to offer than most.
From the get-go, fans of all stripes will find something to enjoy about this odds-and-sods collection. The first song is the emotionally devastating "She Loves You" which was written during the American Slang sessions. It's about a guy who stays up at night with a "burning mind," pouring blood into "sermons" to try to convince his Juliet to "dare to belong to" him. Like most of The B-Sides, aside from a rugged live cut of Pearl Jam's "State Of Love And Trust," the song is a slow burning display of quiet desperation. That's different for a band known for its rocking intensity. Sure, they've done ballads and weepers before, but in these largely unvarnished live and acoustic cuts, the songs expose a new rawness.
Brian Fallon, always the front-and-center leader of the band, takes on an even more prominent position here, as the acoustic cuts–culled largely from American Slang and The '59 Sound–are essentially boiled down to just him and a guitar. These are tonal reinterpretations; they aren't trying to hit the soaring heights on the record-version of those albums' title tracks or to provide note-for-note emulations of the cover songs (their take on the Rolling Stones' "Tumbling Dice" is particularly notable). Rather they dig deeper into the sadness and longing that were already evident, but which were previously projected through electric guitars and quickened paces. If it wasn't already apparent, Fallon proves here that he can quiet and tenderly emote as well as he can shout to the heavens.

I can go out early in the morning, when its still cool, and first stop, eat tender, crunchy green beans off the vine, then 4 steps to the left, a dozen ripe cherry tomatoes, and on the way back into the house, half a dozen raw okra. Thats breakfast.
For lunch, its baby eggplant fried in olive oil, with fried green Jimmy Nardano peppers. Dinner, we're contemplating grilling eggplant, ripe tomatoes, green onions (<====these are really good - brush with olive oil, salt) , more peppers, and something meat. Unfortunately, soon here, its canning season, which is work :-( |
Follow-Up Postings:
That sounds delightful, David! We have been enjoying some squash, tomatoes, cukes, and some peppers. More tomatoes are forthcoming - still need to ripen. I'm looking forward, actually, to canning them - they make chili, sphagetti sauce, etc. taste so much better!! The other thing I love about August are the crickets! I really noticed them last summer, and I started hearing them this summer a couple of weeks ago. I don't know whether where we lived before just didn't have many, or if the weather has something to do with it. I just love their music!! It just brings back a feeling of being a kid when we'd go on camping trips during the summer, and time seemed to slow down and you felt like there wasn't a care in the world. Enjoy: Relaxing Sunrise over a Lake with the sounds of Crickets . Marj |

Lets see, tomatoes are still green (yes it is amazing!) Squash is doing great already had several meals from that, cucs blooming like mad, but nobody ready for a salad yet. Winter squash starting to form fruit. My favorite, which I discovered yesterday, softball sized juane canary melon. He is snuggled up right against the block wall that is frames my garden beds, must be pretty cozy. Can't wait to see how he tastes, slurp! B |

Can anyone reccommend some Potty Training books? Videos? Thanks for any suggestions :) Christy |
Follow-Up Postings:
What is the age of your child? And have you tried any methods yet? |
- Posted by christy2828 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 10, 07 at 13:12
She's 18 months, and I haven't tried much , yet. I've bought a potty, and she sits on it anytime we go to the bathroom. Today was the first time she sat bare-bottom. She doesn't care whatsoever if she is wet or dirty, so I'm trying to make her more aware. I plan on hitting the library and looking for instructional books on where to get started, was hoping someone might have a suggestion for me :) Christy |
- Posted by christy2828 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 13, 07 at 20:01
Well I did go to the library and found one book in particular that I like. It is called Diaper~Free Before 3. Written by Jill M. Lekovic, M.D. I find it very imformative and instructional, so if anyone is wanting to find a book about potty training, this is my recommendation. Also, it says you can start as early as 6 months old. :) Christy |
We started potty training our daughter at 17 months. We tried to make it fun and not put too much pressure on her. We found books were very helpful. We had two books about potty training, but we also read other books to her while she was on the potty. At the very early learning stage it helped her to stay on the potty long enough and relax so she'd go peepee. She quickly understood the concept, but it took her a little while to always make it to the potty in time. Now she is 33 months and for about two months she even sleeps without pullups at night. She has occasional accidents, but that's either at night or when she is too distracted. I glad that she is doing so good. |
When my DD was training, I wrote a little picture book, myself. She helped me. I drew pictures of her favourite toys and had simple wording. Its was very funny and a lot of fun doing it. It was nice for her to be in the story, too. My technique was to start how I meant to go on. From day one, use the potty and dont look back. It worked well. I did stay home for about a week, making sure she understood what was going on, then short trips to shops and public toilets. I did not want to confuse her by putting on a diaper sometimes, and taking it off at other times. It was summer, also, so she wandered around bare bottomed all day. It was really a lovely time, looking back, we spent time in the garden, took the potty outside. I also, started with giving her a small sweet as a reward, so she was very keen to get going. She was close to 2 when I did all that. She is now 20...oh dear...how the years fly past. Popi |

1907 Model K |
1906 Cadillac Model K news, pictures, specifications, and information | ||
Tweet |
The Cadillac Automobile Company was organized by Henry M. Leland in 1902. By 1905 the company was producing one car every 10 minutes. Work days were 10 hours long. A year later Cadillac set a new record, selling more cars than they had ever produced. Their one-cylinder cars were known for their reliability, durability, and quality. A successful advertising campaign also helped fuel sales.
The 1906 Model K had a 98.2 cubic-inch horizontal, one-cylinder engine that produced ten horsepower. Dunlop tires came standard, as did the twelve-spoke artillery-style wooden wheels.

Victoria Runabout Chassis Num: 7327 | |||
Sold for $38,500 at 2007 RM Auctions. |
It is powered by a horizontal single-cylinder engine that displaces 98.2 cubic-inches and produces 10 horsepower. There is a two-speed planetary transmission and dual differential-mounted brakes. The 74-inch wheelbase is suspended in place by a solid front axle with transverse leaf springs and a live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and single chain drive.
The tonneau has been removed and a wood platform fitted in its place. The seat material is worn and missing button cushions, the body is fairly solid, and the fenders are slightly bent. One of the two brass headlamps is in very poor condition and missing its bracket. The radiator and side lamps are both missing.

Victoria Runabout Chassis Num: 8171 | |||
Sold for $110,000 at 2010 RM Auctions. |
By 1905, under-seat engines were becoming passé, so Cadillac disguised the fact by mounting a dummy hood over the front axle with a vertical radiator at the front.
For 1906, Cadillac had new single-cylinder models - the Model K and M - the differences between these two were only their wheelbase sizes. The M was two inches longer. The Model K came in a single body style, the Light Runabout often called 'Tulip' because of the shape of the seat.
This example has black moldings with red pin striping. There are maroon artillery wheels riding on all-white tires. All bright-work is brass, unblemished and highly polished. The seat upholstery is black patent leather with matching color top.
In 2010, this Model K Light Runabout was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook where it was estimated to sell for $40,000 - $60,000. As bidding came to a close, the car was sold for the sum of $110,000 including buyer's premium.
By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2010
Victoria Runabout Chassis Num: 8647 |
This Model K Runabout was purchased by the current owner's father in 1952 from the original owner. It was stored for many years and is believed to be a 1905 model but had been 'updated' with the addition of running boards and modified by replacing the boat-tail with a box.
The car has been treated to a rapid restoration which took ten days to complete with workers working around the clock in three shifts. The car participated in the 1953 revival Glidden Tour from Cleveland to Columbus to Dearborn, Michigan. During that year, it was also the recipient of the Thompson Museum Trophy for the finest restoration on an antique automobile.
In 2002, the car was given another professional restoration. It was completely rebuilt cosmetically and mechanically, including aluminum pistons for reliability. It was shown extensively during 2002, Cadillac's centennial year, including that year's Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance. In 2003 it received an AACA annual Grand National Award and was recognized as a Senior Grand National First Prize winner in 2004.
The car is powered by a 98.2 cubic-inch horizontal single-cylinder engine that offers 10 horsepower. There is a two-speed planetary transmission, dual differential-mounted brakes, and a wheelbase that measures 74 inches.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at RM Auctions sale in Amelia Island, Florida. It was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $120,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $99,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.

The four-cylinder Model D was introduced in 1905 which brought significant improvements in power and performance to the Cadillac line of vehicles. Regardless, the single-cylinder models remained in production, and popularity, through 1908. The single-cylinder engines were durable and adequate, proven by their popularity and in endurance runs. Three Model K Cadillac's competed in the Dewar competition in England in 1908 and emerged victorious. At the close of the endurance run, all three cars were disassembled and their parts scrambled. The cars were then re-assembled from the mix-matched parts and easily started. This final demonstration was to reinforce Leland's precision manufacture and to the slogan 'The Standard of the World.'
A design change was added in 1905, following the popular configuration of the time. The front was given a dummy hood over the front axle while the engine remained under the seats. In the front was a vertical radiator on the Models C, E, and F. These were replaced for 1906 by Models K and M. Both of the K and M were identical except for the Model M having a wheelbase two inches longer. Production of the K and M continued into 1907. In 1907 the Model S and T were introduced, with the T remaining in production until the end of 1908.

Two perspectives are changing recently among progressive Christians that dilute the concentration on "getting to heaven," the most common definition of "salvation." First, fewer people still believe in hell, that is, that an all-loving God would condemn anyone to eternal suffering and separation from God. (It is curious that the belief in heaven persists even among many who don't really believe in hell.) A more important change in thought is that God's love as revealed in Jesus Christ is all-inclusive, meant for everyone, whether or not heaven or an afterlife of any sort exists. Diminishing is the view that there will be a sorting-out process depending upon each person's "right beliefs."
read moreTo believe, or give assent to, a fixed set of beliefs, such as, "I believe in God the father almighty….," or the inerrency of the Bible is to cut off the possibility of growth. If you have all the answers you are not open to new thoughts or questions. Communicating with a fundamentalist is very difficult, and we are all fundamentalist in a variety of ways. But Leonard Cohen reminds us that "there is a crack in everything, that's where the light comes in."
read moreEaster calls attention to the traditional, fundamental "beliefs" associated with the Christian religion – if only for a day. The secular world pays little attention to the nuances of Christian "faith" in a post-Christian world. Easter is a liturgical season that lasts for seven weeks. In Christian tradition, the time between the resurrection of Jesus and his "ascension" into the sky (Pentecost) replaces the time between the Jewish Feast of the Passover and the giving of the law to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Not only do most Christians concentrate on the resurrection story – often literally. Editorial writers for supposedly sophisticated secular media seem to feel obligated to attempt to find meaning in the traditional religious legend of a dead man walking out of his tomb. But "faith" does not mean "belief." "Faith" means "trust." "Faith" further means "confidence."
read moreDogma and doctrine should not get in the way of practicing Love, who is God. Doctrines can be interesting: they help us understand the origins and background of our religion. But repeating creeds is not the price of admission into Christianity. Instead of caring whether the story of Jesus' resurrection was a fact or a myth, let's look in the story for inspiration to turn from the way of death to the way of life. Let's care about our neighbors without jobs or health insurance, face the resentment in our hearts that needs to be released, become activist citizens, and learn to bring our careers in alignment with our highest values. Let's gather in churches, soup kitchens, work-places, living rooms, and cafés to support each other in doing things that matter, and let go of old doctrines that don't.

He called people to him; he asked people to come to him; he welcomed them; he got cranky with his disciples when they tried to prevent anyone, anyone at all coming to him. He ate with outcasts, those despised; he befriended tax collectors, those regarded as thieves; he encouraged children, usually ignored in adult community, to sit on his knees; he had meals with the elite and the riffraff; he conversed publicly with women although that was taboo; unlike the religious leaders of his day, he sought the company of all kinds and types of people, to affirm them, to challenge them, to call them to an abundant way of life.
