That's up from last year. Most schools, according to the statistics, are religious-based.

text: I have an interesting piece that I am running into difficulties researching. It is a painting on cloth. The cloth is fairly tattered and there are some places where the paint has cracked with the fabric. All that to say I believe there is at least some age to it. The fabric appears to be loosely mounted to board but I am not eager to check to aggressively. There is a read seal embroidered into the top center with eight characters to the left. There are characters running along the top and to the right of the seal but are embroidered in a different manner. I find the piece to be quite interesting and have never seen anything like it. That is not saying much though. Another point to note is the fact that someone spent a good amount of money framing the piece. It is triple matted with decorative gold paper in between each mat. It also has glare resistant conservation glass. I was hoping that someone would be able to give me some insight into what this piece is as well as what the seals may be. Any help is greatly appreciated.

TAMPA, Fla. (WTSP) - Scientists have discovered a natural compound in palm oil that can kill breast cancer cells.
The compound, called tocotrienol, is extracted in its natural form from palm oil, from Vitamin E.
Dr. Mokenge Malafa, Chair of the department of GI Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, is studying palm oil and says this is promising for all people in the whole spectrum: patients who want to prevent it, high risk of getting it. And for those who have it, he says combining this with standard treatment could improve the way the treatment works.
"It will also help with leading a healthy life." says Dr. Malafa. "If you wanted to get the benefit to get the compound, you cannot consume palm oil. To get the type of concentration it needs to be extracted and put in a pill form."
Companies are working on extracting these vitamins.
Dr. Malafa says it is too early to recommend this, it needs more studies. But he says, "There are studies on going and testing it in labs and mice and it is showing very promising results."
The next step is clinical trials.

I am always amazed at corporate America's ability to adapt to changing times.
There was a day when fast food and pre packaged meals were pitched to keep the women of the house out of the kitchen.
I know this dates me. I grew up watching TV in the 60's and 70's. Products were advertised to make women better housewives. Forgive those who didn't know how to get rid of ring around the collar.
Now products are shown to make us able to do anything else but stay home and take care of our homes. We have disposable floor cleaners and dusters. There are automatic shower cleaners and throw away toilet cleaning brushes.
We are a society on the go. So I am truly amused at how a major chicken franchise is marketing their take-out as a way to get your family to stay home and eat. They used to advertise themselves as a way to eat home cooked food on the go.
Hamburger Helper has also jumped on the return to the olden days bandwagon. As a product that used to advertise as one that got you out of the kitchen fast, it now sells itself as a way to get your family to eat "home cooking."
I refuse to believe we have gone so far that Hamburger Helper is home cooking. I do know that our style of cooking has changed in the past ten years.
My granddaughter came running in the other day to announce to me that grandpa was making popcorn the new way. I asked her what that meant and she said he was cooking it on the stove in a pot. In her world she had only know it to be popped in the microwave in a bag.
Of course when my children were little they thought I made homemade soup because I opened the can and heated it up at home.
In our busy world we do need to make sure we are taking time to have a meal together several times a week. Daily would be even better, but I shoot for three times a week.
Use all the time saving products to clean your house. Or just let it go a bit. Cut down on your evening meetings or be late.
Even if it is a bucket of chicken, sit down and talk to each other. You will be glad you did.

MARTIN WANTS TO FIGHT FOR THE BIG CLUBRecognizes there's an opening if he earns it
Chris Botta on NHL Fanhouse RSS feed
Matt Martin knows his new Entry Level contract means he can start his pro career in the AHL instead of playing an over-qualified, overage year back in Sarnia. But that's not his goal when training camp opens in Saskatoon over the weekend. The tough 6-2 forward is looking to win a job in the NHL.
"I have to approach it that way, aim as high as I can," Martin said when I called to congratulate him on his first NHL deal. "I'm going in with every intention of battling for a spot on the Islanders."
Martin, the 2008th fifth round pick who has emerged as a strong prospect with Nystrom-Scatchard intangibles to go along with decent skill, followed the Islanders every day while with Sarnia of the Ontario League. Confident in himself without being cocky or delusional, he believes there is an opening.
"I've noticed we didn't add a lot of size guys or power forwards over the offseason," Martin said. "Maybe management did it because they like the guys they already had on the roster. I'd like to think I'm part of that mix. Now it's up to me to actually prove it on the ice."
He despised talking abut his protracted negotiations with the Islanders over the last year. From his friendly refusal to discuss them after a deal was finalized, it was clear 1. The process was an at times painful learning experience, 2. He didn't get close to everything he asked for (hey, that's business) and 3. He's moving forward. "It's nothing personal with me and the team," he said. "Now the focus is completely on hockey."
The contract was finalized because Martin was not going to enter camp with business hanging over his head. He completed the Sarnia trio over the weekend, joining Sting teammates and Islanders prospects Justin DiBenedetto and Mark Katic on the Island for workouts. "I'll live with my friends and get a good week of skating in with all the guys before we leave for camp," he said. "I'll be ready."

7 U.S. Code § 5930 - Reservation extension agents
(a) Establishment
The Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, shall establish appropriate extension education programs on Indian reservations and tribal jurisdictions. In establishing these extension programs, the Secretary shall consult with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Intertribal Agriculture Council, and the Southwest Indian Agriculture Association, and shall make such interagency cooperative agreements or memoranda of understanding as may be necessary. The programs to be developed and delivered on reservations and within tribal jurisdictions shall be determined with the advice and counsel of reservation or tribal program advisory committees.
(b) Administration and management
Extension agents shall be employees of, and administratively responsible to, the Cooperative Extension Service of the State within which the reservation or tribal jurisdiction is located, and employment and personnel management responsibilities shall be vested with the State Cooperative Extension Service. In cases where a reservation or tribal jurisdiction is located in two or more States, the Secretary of Agriculture shall make the determination of administrative responsibility, including possible divisions along State boundaries.
(c) Advisory committees
At the request of a State Extension Director, and with the assistance of the tribal authorities, the Secretary of Agriculture may form an advisory committee to give overall policy and program advice to that State Extension Director with regard to programs conducted on reservations or within tribal jurisdictions. Program advisory committees may be formed to assist extension staff in development and conduct of program activities.
(d) Staffing
Insofar as possible, agent and specialist staff shall include individuals representative of the tribal grouping being served. Programs shall emphasize training and employment of local people in positions such as program aides, master gardeners, and volunteers.

Ford Oscar Bishop proudly displays his medals.
Sixty one years is a long time to wait for something a person has deserved.
And for Ford Oscar Bishop, a World War II veteran who was captured and nearly executed by Nazi troops, it seemed even longer.
Ford was recently recognized for his military accomplishments during a service in Redding, Calif. The Carbon County native got his dues, but it wasn't without some controversy.
Ford was born in Sunnyside on Aug. 27, 1919 and lived there for most of his youth. His father was a local coal miner at the Wattis mine when he was a child.
When the war came he wanted to get into it so he joined up. But he almost regretted that on a day in 1945 when he and 40 others from his unit were captured by German forces. Fortunately a turn of events lead to the salvation of the group.
"On the morning of May 5, 1945 we were sent out on a reconnaissance mission near St. Gilgen, Austria, to rescue our commanding officer, Commander Anderson," said Bishop. "During the mission we were spotted by the German troops, got into a fire fight. We were greatly outnumbered."
During the shoot out several soldiers were killed and around 35, including Bishop were captured.
"We were then marched to the city square in St. Gilgen," he said.
According to Bishop they were then lined up in a firing squad to be executed when the mayor intervened in the execution and informed the troops that the war had ended. The U.S. troops were then moved into the Gilgen Hotel until an unlikely sequence of events that would grant Bishop and his comrades freedom from their terrible fate occurred.
"I remembered a pistol that I had hidden in my gas mask that I had managed to keep with me," said Charles Akes, one of Bishop's fellow captives. "I had planned to get close to the kid setting up the machine gun, shoot him and tell the others to make a run for it."
According to Akes, it luckily never came to that. A German diplomatic official took a brief absence from the area and the American prisoners took advantage of the lack of supervision and sprinted to the basement of the hotel where they waited out a fire-fight that took place between the German regular army and some SS troops in the streets above.
"There were some bottles of champagne in the basement of the hotel and the guys were popping corks in harmony with the bullets that were bursting through the windows," Akes said.
After that the tables turned and the remaining German troops turned themselves over to the 35 American soldiers, surrendering to end the war.
According to Bishop when he was discharged in late 1945, his company's records had not yet caught up with him.
"Getting a bunch of paperwork was the last thing on my mind at the time," Bishop said. "My only agenda after the war was getting as far away as I could from service and put back the pieces of the life that had floated aimlessly once I signed on the dotted line."
According to Bishop, he and Akes later began tracking down their military records. They were then seeing things from a little different angle than they had just after the war. They figured that they earned some honors so they should be able to have them.
According to Bishop, when they began their search they were told that there was a fire in a building in Missouri where all of the records were kept and that most of their military histories had gone up in flames with the building.
Akes started writing letters to find out exactly what happened to the history of the battalion and after a five year struggle he was finally recognized and received his medals.
"If it wasn't for Chuck our ordeal would have still just been a story and would have eventually been forgotten altogether," said Bishop. "Thanks to his hard work and a lot of patience, I too have received most of my medals."
Congressman Wally Herger, of the second district in Califormia, finally presented Bishop with the medals that he had earned during his tour of duty at a town hall meeting in Redding in 2006.
But once again Bishop was in the middle of it. The meeting was supposed to be covered by the local media. There was indeed a story written, but it didn't include any mention of the veterans and their struggle. Instead there was an angry mob of protesters marching around the town hall turning the focus from the long hard battle of the brave men who fought in World War II that gave their lives, to the protest that ensued. That protest is what the local article ultimately ended up being about.
Herger addressed the crowd and urged them to be polite during the ceremony only to get a response from a member of the mob stating, "Is dropping 500 pound bombs on innocent people polite?".
"Well neither is the public beheading of innocent civilians or flying airplanes into buildings," Herger reportedly replied. "Our troops and our commander in chief are involved in fighting a monster that threatens the very right that you have abused here today and taken for granted. Instead of undermining our country and its leaders, you should be praying that we can find a way to win this war against terrorism. Because if we don't, the next time that you try to speak out at a public meeting you might be taken out and politely beheaded or stoned to death. Think about that."
Nonetheless Bishop got his medals and a commendation for along with his compatriots "engaging 300 heavily armed enemy troops" in which he displayed "courageous effort and with complete disregard for his personal safety, assisted materially in the capture of the towns of Hof, Fushl and St. Gilgen, Austria, resulting in the release of 122 American prisoners of war and the capture of over 200 German prisoners."

Leo is fixed fire - an interesting paradox. Perhaps the best way to describe fixed fire is in terms of its ruler: the Sun, the constant and predictable source of light and life at the centre of the solar system, around which all the planets revolve. Leo is associated with the metal gold and with incorruptible, eternal fire. This is exactly how planets in Leo function best - when they are radiating their unique life force for the benefit of all. Leo has a great warmth, an ability to shine and an immense generosity. There is something very sunny about Leo. There is also a natural dignity and nobility, an extravagance, a love of luxury and of doing things in style. Leo rules the back and the heart, and the back is to do with being vertical, isn't it? You can often recognise a Leo from the dignified way they carry themselves, as if they had a crown on their heads. Sometimes there is something very catlike and delicate about the way they walk.
Leos are proud. We talk about a pride of lions, don't we? They prefer to be leaned on than to lean on or depend on others. They are very good at giving magnanimous advice but not so good at taking it. Leo is an extremely good delegator and likes to be surrounded by courtiers who will carry out the Leo's requests. This is a perfectly natural expectation for Leo, who instinctively expects to be waited on, served and cleaned up after. And this quality, which is present to some extent in all the fire signs, can annoy other people intensely: 'Who does he think he is?'
Audience: But they don't like to be pushed around, do they?
Clare: That's right, because we are talking about a fixed sign here. Leos will resist being forced to do anything they don't want to do; they will resist change. Remember that fire signs are subjective and imaginative, and Leos exist in the centre of their own myth, as the special one, the unique one, as the 'divine child' of the zodiac. The most important world to Leo is the drama in which they play the leading role. In this sense, Leos are not ordinary mortals. In their imagination they are always on stage in the limelight in front of hundreds of admiring, adoring people. Recognition and praise is their birthright.
The more insecure Leos who do not really believe in themselves will be unable to shine or radiate from their own hearts, and may become desperate for the approval of others and demand recognition and praise as a substitute for a lack of genuine self-worth. The worst thing that can happen to a Leo is humiliation, which is an absolutely devastating experience. If Leo is repeatedly humiliated during childhood, then they can shut their hearts to avoid feeling any more pain. They are vulnerable to being crushed, to having their innate sense of specialness destroyed.
Audience: Sorry, Clare, where did you say this crushing comes from?
Clare: Perhaps it is the natural result of each element evoking its opposite element. Fire evokes an earth reaction, which tends to kill the fantasy by being practical and realistic, by throwing up hurdles and resistances and taking the wind out of fire's sails. The world will tend to withhold recognition until Leo has proved itself. This is perfectly reasonable. For example, it is unlikely that a boy will actually grow up to play rugby or football for England unless he puts in the training. Or that he will be appointed to the post of university professor without having done the necessary degrees. In the end, we all have to work for our achievements if they are to hold any value to us. Ultimately, it is the practical harnessing of the element of earth which supports and hones and shapes the true potential of the fire signs.
Planets in Leo
The lifetime's journey of Sun in Leo is to grow towards the mature realisation and expression of personal authenticity, integrity and authority which is not dependent on the opinions of others. The integration of the planet Saturn, in its detriment in Leo, is an important clue that, over time and through real concrete achievements, the spontaneous childlike quality of Leo will mature until the Leo Sun becomes the strong and radiant centre of its own existence. The integration of the opposite sign of Aquarius indicates that, ultimately, Leos have an important part to play for the benefit of the larger community. The Disney film, The Lion King, is an excellent example of the difficult and challenging journey towards the mature expression of the Leo Sun, and I would certainly recommend that you see this film. If a Leo Sun ceases to believe in themselves, or tries to take the easy way, then everything starts to go wrong.
The lion in alchemy is the primitive, untransmuted form of the alchemical gold. The processes of the opus transform it into the reborn filius philosophorum, the goal of the work. This image from Lambsprinck's De lapide philosophica (1625) portrays the lion and lioness as the male and female sides of the primal substance.
Our case study, David, has Mars in Leo. How do you think this will manifest? Remember that Mars describes the 'what' and Leo will tell us 'how'.
Audience: Well, Mars is about action, potency and outward-directed energy. Perhaps David will devote a great deal of energy into getting recognition and admiration?
Clare: Absolutely. There is something very bold and dramatic about this placement. He may even be the driving force behind setting up an amateur dramatics group, in which he will of course cast himself in the leading role. Sally, on the other hand, has Saturn in Leo. If Saturn describes what we crave but feel we have been denied, it also describes the lessons we need to learn in order to gain a sense of genuine self-confidence and mastery over our lives. It is possible that Sally has never been made to feel special or received the kind of attention or praise that she craves. Her self-confidence may be low and she will have a fear of being humiliated, which will make her cautious about putting herself forward. Ultimately she can learn to take responsibility for herself and gain self-confidence through her concrete achievements. The mantra, 'If I am not for myself, who is?' can encourage Saturn in Leo to believe that they have as much right as anyone else to a place in the Sun.
Audience: I have Uranus in Leo.
Clare: Uranus was in Leo for the seven years from 1955 to 1962. How many of you have this? Quite a few. This is an interesting placement because Uranus is egalitarian, and Leo is about being special and unique, so there is an inherent conflict here.
Using a shorthand approach, we can say that Uranus describes what a particular group of people don't believe in, what they rebel against, will want to challenge and break down in order to establish a new, more ideal order. In Leo, we could say that the urge of Uranus is republican. They want to break up old elitisms - the monarchy is a good example of this - and challenge any system based on undeserved privilege, such as the House of Lords. At the same time, this generation will have unusual and radical and shocking ways of expressing themselves, and the punk generation is a good example of this group, Mohicans, safety pins and all.
On an individual level, it is possible that the ideology of this group could undermine their belief in themselves. For example, in the workplace Uranus in Leo may hold themselves back if it is against their principles to be promoted over others. On the other hand, being in a position of responsibility could give them the power to establish new, more egalitarian, team-based working practices. So there is always a kind of double bind where the outer planets are concerned, and it is important for the individual to make personal choices rather than simply becoming an unconscious mouthpiece of the collective ideology into which they were born.

Lew Kibling went on a routine fishing trip with a good friend about two years ago.
As the two long-time high school boys basketball coaches got talking, Kiblings friend and old rival, former Cicero-North Syracuse coach John Unger, pitched the idea of nominating Kibling for a spot in the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame.
I had never given that a thought, said Kibling, a member of the Section 3 Hall of Fame who accumulated 332 victories in 33 years as a head coach at Lowville Academy and Watertown High School.
After some prodding from Unger, Kibling gave in, filled out the required paper work and didnt think much of it until he opened up the Times on Sept. 29 last year and read that he was to be inducted.
I was quite surprised, well put it that way, Kibling said.
Kibling, who now resides in Mannsville, is one of nine inductees to be honored Sunday in Heritage Hall at the Glens Falls Civic Center. He will join Tom Murphy of Belleville Henderson as the only Frontier League members in the prestigious club.
Kibling led Lowville to its only Section 3 title in 1964. He never reached a sectional final with the Cyclones, who, at that time, competed in a league with large Syracuse-area schools like Corcoran, Nottingham and Henninger, among others.
He also spent several seasons coaching cross country and baseball at both schools, as well as coaching baseball at Jefferson Community College.
For the last five years of Kiblings coaching career, he racked up numerous league and playoff titles at Watertown High when the Frontier League was formed.
But to pick a highlight, Kibling said its impossible when scanning a career that lasted from 1956-89, including a year at Whitney Point, 12 at Lowville and 20 at Watertown High.
You have a lot of special moments, a lot of big wins and a lot of heartbreaking losses, Kibling said. But you always pick yourself up and go to work the next day.
Kibling said that he has been told by several former players and assistant coaches that they will be on hand for Sundays ceremony. That list includes people traveling from Florida, North Carolina, Maryland and Ohio.
A lot of these young men, I havent seen in a long, long time, Kibling said.
I was lucky, and most coaches are lucky, to have great kids to work with and thats what I had, he added.
Kibling also said he benefited from having great parents in the Lowville and Watertown communities, along with hard-working behind the scenes kids, like scorekeepers or managers.
I know they all did something right, I dont know that it was anything I did, Kibling said.
Kibling will also be joined on Sunday by his wife of 60 years, Ann, along with his two sons and two daughters Steve, Lew, Sandy, and current Carthage girls lacrosse coach, Sue Gallagher.
My most loyal supporter in my career was my wife Ann, Kibling said. You go through a lot of ups and downs, a lot of peaks and valleys (as a coach), and when I was down, she was always there for me.
n Kibling passed the coaching bug down to his two daughters and several former players.
In addition to Sues success at Carthage, as both the girls lacrosse and tennis coach, his daughter Sandy started the girls lacrosse program at Skaneateles and coached volleyball at the school.
Former players that Kibling said moved onto coaching are: Jim Berkman, who won 10 national championships as mens lacrosse coach at Division III Salisbury State; Bob Williams Jr., mens basketball coach at West Virginia Tech University; Phil Gaffney, former mens basketball coach at Mohawk Valley CC in Utica; Chad Kolb, former athletic director and baseball coach at Watertown High; and Eric Schofield, junior varsity basketball coach at Watertown High.

Actor Todd Bridges doesnt want a popular catchphrase or his past poor choices to define him.
But Mr. Bridges, who is famous for being the target of the phrase, Whatchu talkin bout, Willis? when he starred as Willis Jackson on the NBC sitcom Diffrent Strokes, knows that his drug addiction and subsequent trouble with the law will follow him forever. To this day, the 48-year-old said, he struggles to land acting gigs and regrets not seeking or accepting help decades ago.
You can be a star and still not work all of the time, he said during a telephone interview Tuesday from his Los Angeles home. To me, a job is really a job for my family.
Landing gigs or leading roles puts food on the table for his teenage children, he said, and when he may not get one of those roles because of his criminal background, it makes him wish he had made better choices in his youth. Mr. Bridges will share his story of addiction, recovery and moving forward at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Sturtz Theater at Jefferson Community College, 1220 Coffeen St.
Thomas D. Wojcikowski, assistant director of student activities and cultural affairs at JCC, said the free presentation is on a first-come, first-served basis, so JCC students and the public are encouraged to arrive early to get a seat.
Bringing this story to campus hopefully will inspire students to either seek help for themselves if they are struggling with an addiction or be part of a support system for someone with the disease, Mr. Wojcikowski said.
Its his journey, and I think that will resonate with students, he said. Todd Bridges is a name some people can recognize and maybe didnt realize he went through this.
At about age 15, Mr. Bridges said, he started experimenting with drugs, and he became a hard-core addict at age 20, trying nearly every drug he could get his hands on for the next nine years.
It was never really explained drugs lead to addictions, and itd affect your future, he said.
Initially, he said, he didnt know why he was drawn to drugs. In the midst of his addiction, he realized it was because of sexual abuse he suffered when he was 12 years old.
I should have sought counseling, Mr. Bridges said.
In the 1980s, however, he said, going to a counselor wasnt as openly accepted as it is today.
According to a 1990 Los Angeles Times article, Mr. Bridges was arrested in 1988 for his involvement in a drug-related shooting, and in November 1989 he was acquitted of charges of attempted murder and attempted voluntary manslaughter in the shooting of a convicted Texas drug dealer in South-Central Los Angeles. In the 1980s he also faced other charges, such as making a bomb threat and carrying a concealed weapon.
Throughout his youth and adult life, people tried to help him. But he said he was not ready and just didnt hear it at the time.
In the early 1990s, he got his wake-up call when he was arrested again and in court was given the choice between jail time or rehabilitation. He chose the latter and has been sober now for 21 years.
Youre never too far gone, but you have to make a decision, he said. It didnt immediately send me back to work. As a black artist, its (harder) to bounce back; you see it all the time. Im still trying to bounce back.
Since hes been in recovery, Mr. Bridges has written a book, Killing Willis, which was released in 2010, and began doing a comedy show.
He still wants acting roles.
Theyre not coming as fast as I need them to, he said, regarding auditions.
Meanwhile, Mr. Wojcikowski said if students are inspired to change and want to seek treatment for their addiction but dont know where to start, JCC offers counseling services and referrals to community agencies.

A band called Badd Fish
By August March [ Thu Aug 20 2015 8:49 PM ]
In Burque, rock bands come and go. Some start out as basement projects and bloom into national headliners. Others rise up from the night only to fade at dawn like a summertime cactus flower.
Though it's generally difficult to tell what path this or that rockin' musical outfit will take as they proceed through rehearsals and toward performance, it's easy enough to listen. Through that experience one might discern qualities that qualify a particular rocanrol ensemble for admission to the next level.
Such is the case with Badd Fish, a band I chanced upon while visiting friends and walking through the hood.
Badd Fish is a quartet, young and old, featuring veteran Albuquerque guitarist Mark LaCava, singer Gil Garcia and a rhythm section consisting of Vic Maese and his son (also named Vic).
They're puro Burque and wear their affiliation with this town and its music scene proudly upon their sleeves and in their hearts.
Vocalist Garcia has been playing around town for at least twenty years, fronting projects Jazz One, Latin Passion and the System. He brings a blue and bold tone to LaCava's intensely intricate picking style. LaCava worked the rounds about town as a formidable singer-songwriter who also lent his talent to Spellbinder, a long lost jam band popular at joints like Sonny's back in the day.
Little Vic Maese, a technically savvy drummer, learned the ropes from his father, who plays bass. A native of El Paso, the elder Maese played bass in a West Texas metal formation known as Lethal Tricks. After coming up north, Vic the bassman was part of Good Green among many other locally popular acts.
Badd Fish is a new band, yet their passion and history reflect an expansive staying power that augments their down-to-earth attitudes and supplements their ability to rock out, grandly and formidably in our present-day music scene.
As a combo, they're tight like sprung steel, melodic like a summer evening on the bosque and as solid as the Sandia mountains. It's garage rock in a grand sense.
After months of rehearsal, Badd Fish will play out this weekend, in a series of concerts destined to demonstrate the goodness and grace of a music community loaded with homegrown talent.
Friday night, August 21, they gig at Sidelines Sports Bar and Grille (9211 Coors NW) from 8-12 pm. Badd Fish follows up their premiere engagement with a set at Neds (2509 San Mateo NE). They'll jam on the afternoon of Saturday August 22, from 3-6 pm before pulling out all the stops at their show at the Barley Room (5200 Eubank NE) that night from 8-12 pm.
Listen: I hear and see a heap of local bands as part of the job I love. Some of those bands are good, are okay. But Badd Fish is badass, yo. If you cherish the local scene as much as I do, then do yourself a solid and check these guys out. I really believe Badd Fish is at the beginning of a journey that will see them reach great heights while providing local audiences with a sound that is groovy, groovy fun filled with acute musicianship and knowing nuance.
Route 66 Summerfest is where it's at!
By August March [ Fri Jul 17 2015 11:55 PM ]
This year's version of the Route 66 Summerfest could damn well be the greatest and ginchiest outdoor music festival to grace this city and its citizens since the Sandia mountains erupted out of the earth millions of years ago.
It certainly will be a rockin' affair. Sponsored by the City of Albuquerque, Nob Hill Main Street and the New Mexico Jazz Festival, the action gets underway in the early afternoon of Saturday July 18 and continues until late in the evening.
Manifesting in the heart of the Nob Hill district, on Central Avenue between Girard and Washington, Summerfest features the finest in musical performances by outfits ranging from locally legendary to nationally noteworthy.
In addition there will be a car show, a bicycle exhibit, an artisan's market, food trucks as well as a plethora of opportunities to experience summery outdoor entertainment (you know, face-painting, people-watching and stuff like that). Plus which, the Nob Hill district is known as a locus of hep shops, cool restaurants and fascinating landmarks.
With three stages to choose from, the musical aspect of Summerfest is the heart of the event. All sorts of players will be playing, beginning around 2 in the afternoon. Here's a rundown of some of the participants. For a comprehensive schedule of performers, click here.
On the east stage at Central and Washington, check out sets by Steve Chavez and the New Mexico Marimba Band, Todd Tijerina and Felix and Los Gatos, among others.
At the Cork and Tap Stage (aptly named due to the adjacent festival beer garden) the reunited Alma, a storied local latin jazz outfit, will jam out. They'll be followed by Americana adherents The Porter Draw. The Zoltan Okestar will be there too, drawing out the dance in all of us.
The main stage at Central and Girard will feature the Mystic Vic Blues Band, Santa Fe bluesman Alex Maryol and national headliners Roomful of Blues.
Roomful of Blues takes control of the festivities at 9:00 pm. A multi-Grammy nominated ensemble that's been extant since the summer of love, their take on an essential American genre is boundlessly badass and daringly danceable.
Count Basie dug these dudes and you will too. With original tunes like "Dressed Up to Get Messed Up" and a variety of smokin' standards in their repertoire, the octet, led by guitarist Chris Vachon, will top off a day and night of summertime fun. They're practically guaranteed to put the lilt back in your step after eight hours of wandering through the sunshiny stuff our city has to offer.
Speaking of the sun, make sure and take a hat and plenty of sun screen along. Also, Route 66 Summerfest is a free event. Pets are allowed as long as they are leashed. Central Avenue through Nob Hill will be closed for the duration of the festival. There will be a park and ride service available at Johnson Field on the UNM campus. You can download the entire event program here.

Regional Slam Poetry Championship happens this weekend
By August March [ Fri Jun 26 2015 2:41 PM ]
Why stay at home reading the likes of Byron, Dickinson, Whitman, Plath, Levertov or Lowell? Put those dreary texts aside. Take a stride outside the normative literary scene found in dusty old books or a tattered magazine. Take wing, visit the local performance poetry scene!
It's a social possibility you won't soon regret. This weekend's slam competition is a sure-to-win bet.
Presented by ABQ Slams, The 2015 Southwest Shootout Regional Poetry Slam Championship beats the heck out of perusing grammatical diagrams.
But seriously folks, it's a chance to listen and respond to folks whose poetic proclivities also include performance, competition, and worthy word-smithery.
Preliminary bouts will be held at Winnings Coffee (111 Harvard SE) and the Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice (202 Harvard SE) on Friday night, June 26, beginning at 7:00 pm. These events are free; the public is invited to attend.
The Championship slam happens Saturday night at the South Broadway Cultural Center (1025 Broadway SE) and costs a mere ten bucks for admittance. Doors to this fantastical foray into syllabic profundity open at 7 that night.
Spoken word artists, performance poets and slammers from all over the Southwest region will be in attendance and ready to fight it out for the chance to advance to the national competition to be held in August.
You ought to check it out, yo.

A telegram from the Southern lands
By August March [ Sat Jun 20 2015 10:46 PM ]
This time round the sun, June's solstice falls upon the same day as the American holiday called Father's Day, on the 21st day of the month.
The same coincidentally calendrical conjunction came to pass 23 years ago; the day called twenty June nineteen hundred and ninety two was the last day of spring in Albuquerque. Practically everyone dwelling amidst the middle latitudes of the North American continent celebrated fatherhood the day after. I'm sure they did that here too or so I was told.
I was in Cuenca, Ecuador where the earth was preparing for winter, though you sure as hell couldn't tell at the latitude of 2 degrees south. It was hot and humid all over that damn country and I had to carry around a cotton kerchief to keep the sweat off my eyes. I kept the towel in a pocket with my father's Swiss Army knife. It was the fancy kind with a fork y todo. He told me at the Sunport it would come in handy in the jungle and I couldn't wait to use the goddamn thing on a tasty lizard or a stubborn piece of bamboo.
I planned to stay a couple of rotations and then drive down from the highlands to the northeast, where the Amazon Jungle crept up into the land. There was a town called Macas out there; I had already chartered a plane to ride me out along the Rio Pastaza to an indigenous settlement in the rainforest. I'd be working for some anthropologists as a sound recordist.
I wandered around Cuenca. There was a fine pizzeria. For a 10 more Sucre, patrons could have their pies topped with small purple potatoes or guinea pig meat. Being a bit nervous about consuming either, I opted for the four-cheese pie.
The long distance service was spotty back then. The cook told me I could send a telegram from the police station. I walked over there, regailed the machine-gun carrying officials with my shitty Spanish and sent a telegram to my old man. I told him I was having a grand time and wished him a happy Father's Day.
The city also had a magnificent plaza built around a mountainous cathedral. The church had gold accouterments, baroque domes. The Andes rose up behind the basilica like a greater order of magical edifices imposed upon the viewer for the sake of comparison.
Come Saturday night there was big party in the center of town. Many citizens walked down to the plaza holding hands, singing songs about the sun and the land. One of them stopped me, asked me where I was from, guessed that I was Israeli or Persian. I tried to tell him I was an American from Albuquerque, but he ran off, laughing and pointing at the sky.
My hotel, the Inca, was nearby to the church – which by now was surrounded by people filling and releasing paper lantern/balloons into the air. The paper bags, each lit by a candle, drifted around the cathedral like angels might and then floated away, towards the mountains.
I picked up an old copy of Time Magazine in the lobby and took the stairs to my room. As I settled in to read a fine article about 1977's Man of the Year someone pounded on the door. I opened it. The man on the other side had a gun. He flashed an identification card, told me to come with him and waved the gun around like it was just another celebratory instrument of the solstice.
Downstairs, there was a car waiting. I turned around to protest and realized the gun had been gently pressed to the back of my head for what I reckoned were at least two very long minutes. I was urged to take a seat in the back of the car.
By now, night had fallen. It was dark as hell. We drove around and around the outskirts of Cuenca while the driver and the gunman argued. Occasionally the latter, wearing a dirty Adidas baseball cap, turned around to face me, brandished the gun, winked and smiled a toothy smile. Finally we were on the road out of town. I began to think of my father as two paper balloons passed by the windows of that automobile.
Remembering I had his knife in my front pocket it occurred to me that I could stab Mr. Adidas in the neck and thereby save myself. But as the vehicle slowed down to cross a bridge, I came up with another idea. I quickly unlocked the backseat door, opened it, yelled "Fuck It Dude, Life's a Risk!" at the top of my lungs and rolled out onto the highway.
Mr. Adidas and his friend screeched the car to a halt. I hid under the bridge and covered myself in mud. After a few minutes splashing around the creek rather angrily, the two stormed off, still cussing and yelling. I remained absolutely still when I saw the muzzle flash from the receding coche.
Soaking wet and tired as crap, I walked along the highway until I came upon a farmhouse. There was a phone there. The farmer offered me a drink and a cigarette while we waited for the police.
It was dawn on the first day of summer when we arrived at the police station. One of the policemen took me aside and said, "You're that hombre from Albuquerque, no? I replied I was and wondered how he knew that, since my passport didn't mention it. He told me my father had replied to my telegram, that I could pick up his telegraphic response on my way out.
The telegram from my father was succinct. It was too hot in Burque. He was going to have Father's Day Brunch with my sister at the Rancher's Club. He hoped the knife he had given me came to good use, out there in South America.

While the debate rages about whether or not couture is relevantÂ--The New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn believes couture is " slipping off peopleÂ's radars faster than a U.F.O.," but Chanel's CEO Bruno Pavlosky insists "couture is essential to the brand"Â--one thing is certain: we adore the glitz and glamour of the high-fashion shows. In addition to our fascination with all of the clothes (like the baby doll dresses at Valentino, which are sure to have red-carpet moments, and the insane craftsmanship at Givenchy), we also love checking out all of the attendees amazing ensembles. Happily for us, this season the "couture club" included a particularly diverse brigade of fashion's finest, as everyone from Jessica Alba to Carine Roitfeld to Natalia Vodianova came to Paris for the shows.
Though the ateliers unveiled gorgeous gowns aplenty, for today's story we collected the week's top off-the-runway looks for your viewing pleasure. In addition to being phenomenally chic, these style stars also displayed a couple of transitional trends worth noting. First of all, we noticed lots of ladylike bows, whether at the waistline, per Jessica Alba and Olivia Palermo, or on the foot, as seen on Vodianova's pointy pumps. Additionally, we were wowed by the fanciful odes to texture demonstrated by Shala Monroque's lacey frock, Carine Roitfeld's eyelet sleeves, and Eugenie Niarchos' leather dress with cutout detailing. But enough about what we loveÂ--we're curious about what tastemakers and collections caught your eyes! Tweet us (@whowhatwear.com) and let us know!Â--Jessica Baker
