Jim Harrison (1937-2016) Tribute List

Vocabulary from the Eighth Democratic Debate, March 9, 2016
The Eighth Democratic Debate was held on March 9, 2016 in Miami and it focused on issues of concern to Latino voters. Immigration and education were topics of focus, but the moderators were forceful on all issues, including when they brought up scandals and candidates' previous statements, complete with videotape evidence. These tools were used to guard against what moderator Maria Elena Salinas called "Hispandering" ("Hispanic" + "pandering") - "telling Hispanics what they want to hear just so they will vote for you." Here are twenty vocabulary words from the Eighth Democratic Debate.

Raymond Tomlinson (1941-2016) Tribute List
Raymond Tomlinson died on March 7, 2016 at the age of 74. Raymond Tomlinson was a computer programmer and one of the early pioneers of e-mail. Specifically, he was the man responsible for choosing the "@" sign to go in email addresses. Of course the sign soon became so widely used that it is now known as the "at-sign" and for some it is fast replacing that sequence of letters, "a-t", and may soon appear everywhere the letters appear together, regardless of pronounciation. It is an open question as to whether or not @ will replace "a-t" altogether, but to remember Mr. Tomlinson, here is a list of words with the "a-t" sequence in them, and how these words would look with "@" signs replacing the letters. It is no doubt an encouraging sign to those who dislike abbreviations and shortcuts in texting and email that many of these words still look quite strange with the @ in place.

Vocabulary from the Eleventh Republican Debate March 3, 2016
The Eleventh Republican debate took place in Detroit, Michigan on March 3, 2016. As in the last debate, there was a great deal of yelling and name calling between the candidates, with one calling another "little guy" and one instructing another to "count to ten and breathe" when he was angry and interrupting the man who was answering a question. To add to the freewheeling excitement, moderators used visual aides, like graphics and video clips, to help the audience decide whether something a candidate said on one occasion contradicted what they said on another, or whether the candidate's proposed budget cuts would really do what a candidate is claiming they will.

Mitt Romney's comments about Donald Trump
Former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a speech about current Republican front-runner Donald Trump at the University of Utah on March 3, 2016. Romney attacks Trump over his behavior and his policies and also has some unkind words for Hillary Clinton, in order to stress that in his view Clinton must never be president. Romney regards Trump as a a con man, one whose lack of conviction makes him not only a bad candidate but one who is beatable, which makes the fact that Trump is the leading candidate to face Clinton in the general election in November all the more troubling to Romney. Here are 25 words from Romney's speech. Read the entire address here.

Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015) Tribute List
Ellsworth Kelly, the renowned painter and sculptor, died on December 27, 2015 at the age of 92. At first glance, what Kelly produced for much of his career was the kind of thing that people are always mocking modern art for -- squares of colors on a canvas, yellow ovals painted on a white background and called "Yellow-White." But Kelly's work really benefits from a second look. His use of shape and color often accomplish what all great art is supposed to: it has the ability to change the way the viewer sees things, both in the museum and outside its walls. Here are ten vocabulary words from quotes by Ellsworth Kelly.

Our Pride cover models: After two weddings, celebrating new law with a honeymoon
Dungo, left, and Labine on the cover.
Photo and illustration by Emily Utne
For the cover of our Pride issue, we got Mackenzie Labine and Liza Dungo to re-create the iconic "Kissing Sailor" photo from the end of World War II. The two women aren't actors: They're a real couple who, one year ago this month, had a dream wedding in the Sculpture Garden at the Walker Art Center.
Labine wore a white dress and carried red roses. Dungo put on a gray pin-striped suit and a turquoise bow tie. At the altar, their friend, a Presbyterian pastor, officiated the wedding.
"Even though this isn't recognized by Minnesota," Labine remembers him saying, "we recognize you."

Though differences like that made Labine tear up, the Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding was, she explains, "pretty traditional." Even members of her family who hadn't initially supported her relationship -- like her Italian, Roman Catholic grandmother -- attended and "really came around on the big day."
"I think some people needed to see it presented in the traditional sense," Labine says, "and then they could see that it's exactly the same thing."
Dungo and Labine on their wedding day last summer. Click to enlarge.
Meghan Doll
The couple first met in July 2009, when Labine, visiting friends in New York City, walked into the nightclub where Dungo worked. After months of Skype conversations, in December of that year, Dungo found a job in Minneapolis and moved in with Labine.
As part of the new gig, Dungo also had health insurance. Labine, who works as a hairstlyist, didn't, so the two women got a domestic partnership in 2010 and asked Dungo's union if Labine could join her plan.
"They said they hadn't even heard of it," Labine recalls. "And that you had to be a man and a woman in order to get benefits."
After some sleuthing, the couple discovered a loophole in the contract that said as long as they were married somewhere, Labine would qualify. So in October 2012, four months after their wedding, the couple went to Iowa to get a marriage license. Starting August 1, Minnesota will finally recognize it.
"We still won't have all the same things opposite-sex married couples do," Labine notes. "But it's really, really exciting that it's happening here."
Since Labine and Dungo have already married twice, they don't want a third celebration. Instead, they're finally getting around to planning their honeymoon. On August 3, the couple will head to Mexico's Isla Mujeres (the Island of Women).
"We mostly want to turn the paperwork in and be done," Labine says. "We've already done the big, big wedding, so now we're just happy that we're getting recognition for that."

Debunking a Fashionable, but Misguided, Social Policy
Byline: Larry Thornberry, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Leave it to ideological ambulance-chasers, race hustlers, timid corporate executives, university humbugs, and conniving
politicians - both Democrat and Republican - to snow us with the rationale for affirmative action.
Leave it to Thomas Sowell - a pubic policy fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, a prolific writer on social issues, and an American treasure - to explain to us how this truly bad public policy really works, and what it has given us.
"The purpose of this book is to consider the actual consequences of affirmative action," Mr. Sowell (who is a columnist for this newspaper) says in the preface to "Affirmative Action Around the World: An Empirical Study." He does a thorough, objective, and well-documented job - but it's not a pretty picture.
The rationale for what has gone under the label of affirmative action in the United States since the 1970s, and under various names in other countries since at least the 1940s, is that it's humane to help disadvantaged and less fortunate groups whose lack of success in the world has been caused by discrimination on the part of more powerful groups.
Affirmative action is a corrective for past discrimination, a preventive of future discrimination, and an aid to social peace, promoters of the policy say. If only this were the case.
In America, affirmative action started out as preference programs for blacks, who are, the theory goes, held down by whites (though this notion is truly hard to support today). By now it has metastasized to so many other groups that a majority of the population - essentially everyone apart from white males - is eligible for its largess in some form or other.Mr. Sowell, an economist and social analyst (and the author of "A Conflict of Visions," "The Quest for Cosmic Justice" and "The Vision of the Anointed," among other titles) uses charts, graphs and all the relevant data the most scrupulous empiricist among us could want to show that affirmative action is, like many current social policies, an unexamined but fashionable fraud. And not only does it fail to achieve what it's advertised to achieve, but it has many toxic social side effects as well.
Not the least of which are the abuse of the language and the legal system necessary to make us believe a law that, while clearly stating we are not to discriminate on the basis of race, really means we must discriminate on the basis of race. (George Orwell, call your office.)
Most people who are for or against affirmative action - and there are strong opinions on both sides of this divide - are for or against the theory of affirmative action. What actually happens under affirmative action policies is almost never examined, but the reality is nothing like the theory.
A major unexamined assumption of affirmative action is that when there are large differences in circumstances between groups in a society, this is an anomaly that can and must be corrected by government, lest it fester and cause all manner of social ills.
The truth is that large differences in group circumstances have characterized most places and most times, and have rarely, in themselves, led to inter-group hostilities. Hostility has, however, often been the result when politicians have stepped in and tried to micro-manage the fate of groups.
Mr. Sowell demonstrates that wherever group differences have been politicized - whether in the United States, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, or other countries - the truly disadvantaged have not benefited, or have benefited only minimally, while the relationships between the involved groups have been made worse, often much worse. …

Game of Thrones Recap Season 6, Episode 6, "Blood of My Blood"
After the emotional closure of last week's episode of Game of Thrones, it was almost inevitable that "Blood of My Blood" would take a more subdued step back to reset the table for the next big event. The largest problem with tonight's episode is that it either changes course so abruptly or restates certain theses so redundantly that it feels like a bit of a tease, especially to those not invested in Samwell Tarly's (John Bradley-West) storyline. After a tense dinner in which Sam's father, Randyll (James Faulkner), sternly judges his disinherited son and wildling "whore," Gilly (Hannah Murray), Sam apologizes for not standing up to him, and then departs with his new family (Gilly and her son) in the middle of the night. "I'm angry that horrible people can treat good people that way and get away with it," remarks Gilly, and while that's nothing new for Game of Thrones, the frustration—which is hopefully just a delaying of gratification—is that Horn Hill seems to be nothing more than a pit stop filled with needless cruelty.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kendrick Perkins provides tickets for local youth
Growing up in Beaumont, Texas, Thunder center Kendrick Perkins was without parents by the age of 5.
His father, Kenneth, left his family to play pro basketball overseas. His mother, Ercell, was shot and killed while working at a local beauty salon.
Perkins wound up being raised by his grandparents, Raymond and Mary Lewis, who became his legal guardian.
Raymond worked for Gulf States Asphalt Co. and made $400 a month. Mary cleaned houses and made about $60 a week.
"Grew up in a very poor household," Perkins said. "We ended up making it work."
Perkins came to the aid of some abused and neglected local boys when he purchased 30 tickets to the Thunder's game Sunday night against the Chicago Bulls at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Founded 13 years ago in Piedmont, White Fields offers a long-term home for boys ages 8 to 18, who are in the permanent custody of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Child Welfare Division. Its mission is "to meet the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs … with counseling and guidance."
White Fields provides residential cottages and an on-campus school with opportunities for recreation, mentoring, community involvement and mental-health treatment for recovery and healing.
Perkins visited White Fields on Saturday and was moved by what he saw.
"I've got two sons of my own, so I was just thinking about those young men who are over there without parents and had to grow up not really knowing their family," Perkins explained. "It's a tough situation, but they've got good people there who work with them. I really like how the whole thing is done. Kids look happy, even though they're in the situation that they're in. People are really taking good care of them and taking time with them."
Perkins' own life experiences made it easy for him to relate to the boys at White Fields.
"It did, because as children we all go through things," Perkins said. "Unfortunately some situations are not our fault and we get put in other situations. The reason they're at White Fields is not because it's their fault, it's because of someone else's mistake."

for heroin charges
BRATTLEBORO A Connecticut man has been sentenced to serve five years in prison for selling heroin.
Jesse Anderson of Hartford pleaded guilty last month to three counts of heroin sale or delivery. He was arrested in September following an investigation that resulted in police-controlled purchases of 91 bags of heroin.
Court documents say police used a cooperating individual to set up an initial drug buy in August from a man they knew only as Country, according to the Brattleboro Reformer. He was later identified as the 33-year-old Anderson.
Police said the deal was supposed to be for 20 bags of heroin, but the informant returned with only 18. The informant then returned to Country, who apologized by offering three more bags.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

I'm currently writing a C++ memory editing library and for the read/write APIs I use type traits (std::is_pod, std::is_same) and boost::enable_if to provide 3 overloads:
- POD types. e.g. MyMem.Read(SomeAddress);
- String types. e.g. MyMem.Read>(SomeAddress); (This doesn't actually read out a C++ string, it reads out a C-style string and converts it to a C++ string.)
- Vector types. e.g. MyMem.Read>(SomeAddress, NumElem); (This doesn't actually read out a vector, rather it reads out a C-style array and converts it to a vector.)
Overloads 2 and 3 are simply 'wrappers' around overload 1. (So if you're reading a std::vector or std::basic_string and T is not POD it will fail, as it should.)
Recently I wanted to use std::array for a bunch of reads and writes because I knew the size of the data I wanted to read and write at compile time (I was writing a wrapper around the PE file format).
I wrote the code to use std::array, and then intended to add another overload for detection and handling of std::array types, but I accidentally hit compile and to my surprise it worked!
I'm currently using MSVC 10 and it turns out that for std::array if T is POD then std::array is POD. (Which means I can just use overload 1 and it works.)
My question is whether this is guaranteed by the C++ standard or left up to the implementation.
I know I could check the standard myself, but I don't trust myself as much as I trust some of the language lawyers on this site, so I figured it would be best to get a 'second opinion'. ;)

in .Net, integers are valuetypes, which means it stored on the stack. Integers are also class (System.Int32 usually). They have methods like CompareTo, Equals,...Thus, they should take more than four bytes on the stack. The example below show however that they take exactly 4 bytes:
unsafe static void Main()
int a = 2, b = 4;
Console.WriteLine("Adress of a : {0}", (int)&a);
Console.WriteLine("Adress of b : {0}", (int)&b);
Console.WriteLine("Size of integer: {0}", (int)(&a) - (int)(&b));
Adress of a : 1372876
Adress of b : 1372872
Size of integer: 4
Does the CLR make a special treatment for integer and other valuetypes (float, long, double,...)?

From the Nationally Syndicated Television Series "The Village Square" (1964-1968) Uploaded by wnwest
British 45's of the 60's are one of the 'ultimate' listening experiences to my ears; the sounds of a cultural renaissance whose influence is still felt in music fifty years on.
We begin this installment by featuring a British cover of the hippest record that The Four Seasons ever cut, the piano driven mod classic that is 'Beggin'".
Timebox were an art school-formed group that were deeply influenced by US soul and soul-jazz sounds, and those influences are heard to their greatest capacity on this track. The group never saw much success (this record made the lowest regions of the UK top 40 and was their only hit). The key members regrouped in 1969 in the progressive rock bag as Patto (named after lead vocalist Michael Patrick 'Patto' McCarthy), and guitarist Ollie Halsall went on to play guitar on (the excellent) soundtrack from The Rutles TV special All You Need Is Cash.
Both the Timebox and Four Seasons versions of Beggin' are driven rhythmically in a way that's so strong that it almost makes the song itself inconsequential. However, in the case of the song itself, it too is strong, making for the type of record that's gonna make people stand up and take notice; and they have for 46 years now.
Of course The Hollies scored several hits during The British Invasion and beyond, but this track, tucked away as the b-side to their massive hit 'Bus Stop', is one of their greatest (and toughest) beat numbers. The Hollies were top notch musicians, and friends-since-childhood Allan Clarke and Graham Nash had one of the greatest harmony vocal blends to the east of The Everly Brothers, who, also recorded a fantastic version of this track on their incredible 1966 LP Two Yanks In England. The backing band on the Everly's LP was none other than....drumroll please...THE HOLLIES! The brilliant songwriter "L. Ransford" who's listed on the label? It's none other than Hollies Allan Clarke, Graham Nash and Tony Hicks wiriting under a pseudonym. Perhaps in their modesty they didn't want to rub in the fact that they could out-sing, out-play, and even out-write just about anyone else on the scene.
Backwards track? Check. Fuzz guitar? Check. Swirling orchestration? Check. Must be England, 1967! The Marmalade take obvious cues from The Beatles first release of 1967 (Penny Lane b/w Strawberry Fields Forever) here, and the end results are a charming, lovely slice of English pop-psych.
This long-running Scottish group (their original name was the Gaylords) formed in Glasgow in 1961, changed their name to The Marmalade in 1966 and saw a string of massive hits in the UK from 1968 til 1972. The group is still active today with only one original member(!)

(SF bay area musician/ writer Derek See plays guitar with The Bang Girl Group Revue, Joel Gion & The Primary Colours, and occasionally fronts The Gentle Cycle.)
Some of my favorite garage/ psych sounds of the '60's were released on the Dunwich Record label, which began at the dawn of the garage era in 1965. Three Chicago based producer/ A&R types (Bill Traut, Eddie Higgins and George Badonsky) changed the name of the label which they started in 1963 with little success (Amboy), and scored a massive regional hit straight out of the box with The Shadows Of Knight's version of the recently released 'Gloria', waxed by (Van Morrison's) Them. The trio also acted as a production team that licensed many excellent (and marginal) records to other labels up until the 1970's as well.
When it comes down to it, "Last Time Around" from The Del-Vetts may be the ultimate Dunwich moment (although my wife would argue for The Banshees 'Project Blue', but I'm not the biggest fan of that record, personally). With an infectious stop-start arrangement, this fuzzed out monster is easily one of the finest records of its type! Surprisingly, this record actually made the national top 40, which I was very surprised to learn (although it's not an easy record to find). Sadly, singer Jim Lauer also ended up in a mental institution.
Back to that intial release; The Shadows Of Knight featured Chicago's answer to Mick Jagger (Jimmy Sohns) as their lead vocalist, and my father in law has great stories of seeing The Shadows Of Knight at teen clubs, and how Jimmy was a true showman of the highest order and influenced HIM to start his own garage band (The Id), who released a 45 in 1966 (but that's another story). while the Shadows version of 'Gloria' is cool, it's the flip, 'Dark Side', that I dig the most. Written by band members Warren Rogers and Jimmy Sohns, this number has a gothic garage vibe that is far more exciting to me than their cover of 'Gloria'. Dunwich Records began to be nationally distributed through Atco almost immediately, upon the success of this single.
If The Pride And Joy sounds similar to the Del-Vetts (especially in that wicked fuzz tone and snotty vocals) it's no coincidence- they are the same group. Allegedly, the Del-Vetts fan club suggested that they change their name to The Pride & Joy and the group obliged (such nice Chicago boys!)
This record also boils over with driving fuzz tone intensity but adds an amazing melodic sense that, in a perfect world, would have been a massive hit. These guys were VERY good- listen to those spot-on group harmonies on the chorus as well as the fantastic musicianship that seems ready made for your very own perfect world mod freakout dance scene complete with flashing lights and beautiful go-go girls dancing in, out, or around cages. Ah, for a perfect world...
Saturday's Children were probably Dunwich Records most musically advanced group. Lead singer/ co-writer Ron Holder of the fantastic group Saturday's Children passed away about a year and a half ago. A friend of his was kind enough to share the fantastic photo of Ron taken back around the time this record was released. Look closely at both the back wall and drum head to see "Saturday's Children" proudly on display.
There's no denying that the harmony and hook laden 'If You're Ready' is an excellent Beatle-esque number! Ron Holder and Geoff Boyan acted as the groups' Lennon/McCartney and penned tunes that were sophisticated, catchy and a perfect fit for those times AND these times. The group certainly deserved the success they never achieved, as they were clearly a talented bunch on every front. The group *did* open for the Beach Boys at McCormick Place in Chicago in 1966, which was probably one of the most exciting moments of their too-short career.
Saturday's Children released three 45's; one of which is the incredible Christmas single 'Deck Five b/w Christmas Sounds" that I traditionally share every December on the Daily 45.
-Derek See
(SF bay area musician/ writer Derek See plays guitar with The Bang Girl Group Revue, Joel Gion & The Primary Colours, and occasionally fronts The Gentle Cycle.)
British 45's of the 60's are one of the 'ultimate' listening experiences to my ears; the sounds of a cultural renaissance whose influence is still felt in music fifty years on.
For part two of this series, we'll begin with a phenomenal piece if moody British beat from 1965, and in fact the only 45 issued by this group in the US. The Poets (not to be confused with the US soul group of the same name, who scored a minor hit with 'She Blew A Good Thing'), were managed and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham, himself most famous (and notorious) as the manager/producer of the Rolling Stones. With its' chiming 12 string guitar, huge reverb drone, and punky vocals, its practically a precursor to the Velvet Underground but with a Scottish accent. The Poets were from Glasgow, released a few more singles that sank without a trace and sadly broke up before recording a full album.
While 1967's "Grounded" was the b-side (to the downright awful "Created By Clive"), this is the side that has lived on in the hearts of collectors and fans of British beat. It also blows my mind that two members of this band (Chris Squire and Peter Banks) formed progressive rock band Yes only one year after this record was cut; a massive indication of changing tastes in music.
Regardless of its' lineage, this is an incredible record featuring some of the finest songwriting of the freakbeat era.
For less than two years during '67-'68, London's Soft Machine (as headed by bassist/ vocalist/ songwriter Kevin Ayers) were occupying the same type of (inner) space as the Syd Barrett-led Pink Floyd. In fact, the two groups played together often at the legendary UFO Club. Much like Floyd after Syd Barrett, The Soft Machine carried on but in a wholly different style (jazz fusion) after the departure of Kevin Ayers at the end of an extensive tour supporting the Jimi Hendrix Experience (what a lineup!). The group was also managed by the Hendrix team of Mike Jeffreys and Chas Chandler, who also acted as their producer.
Fortunately, the group left behind an incredible debut single ("Love Makes Sweet Music" that I still do not own and has been on my want list for years) and their masterpiece debut LP. On the LP, the songs meld together as one long psychedelic suite, yet their US label ABC Probe was able to extract "Why Are We Sleeping" as a single, backed with Ayers "Joy Of A Toy" for the b-side of this 1968 release. Joy Of A Toy became the title of Ayers solo debut.
"Why Are We Sleeping" is my favorite 3 and a half minutes from the Soft Machine LP, as Ayers distorted bass (and baritone vocals) fights playfully for space with Mike Ratledge's organ swells, all the while drummer Robert Wyatt swings like a mofo (there's no guitar on this track), capped off by those haunting female harmonies. Forty five years later and the song is STILL relevant, perhaps even more so- so much happens all around us but so many folks walk through life filled with apathy.
The V.I.P's were a group formed in remote Carlisle, UK and have a very interesting history. The group released a few failed singles, became known as Art for one glorious 45 ("Rome Take Away Three") and an LP, then morphed into Spooky Tooth. Keith Emerson (pre-Nice) was also in the group at (I think) the time this record was recorded in 1966. This track is a superb cover of a highly sought after early 45 by the great Joe Tex.

Certain aspects of music got VERY strange in the late '60's-early '70's; changing sounds and trends brought about big changes in the type of records that were pushed as hit singles.
Records intended for the AM radio market cranked up the ODD-ometer, and some downright FREAKY tracks were released which never became hits but survive as relics from a very different age. An age where remnants of the psychedelic sound mated with bubblegum songcraft and a pinch of the 'HEAVY' rock (without the ...'n' roll) fused together.
In only their second year of releases, Status Quo's 'Make Me Stay A Bit Longer' was the seventh single from this prolific band that were a textbook example of starting off very psychedelic (their debut 45, 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men') and eventually becoming a long running British institution of hard rock. Status Quo released their 100th single in 2013!
'Make Me Stay A Bit Longer' finds the group in transition from the swirly coloured early releases into 'heavy' territory. While the chord changes on the verse are jarring and unconventional (although this effect was used later on to great effect by Sonic Youth and the bands that followed in their footsteps), the chorus is catchy and very poppy indeed. It failed to chart ANYWHERE.
'Getting Thru To You' seems to be a one off from Seattle group The Four Below Zero. The record has a great swagger that wouldn't sound out of place on the score of a late '60's biker flick, and 1:00 into the track, the whole vibe changes up and gets really weird. The it's all over at 1:32, leaving me scratching my head saying "What was THAT?" Not unlike the quirky songwriting styles of the likes of bands such as Neutral Milk Hotel.
While the release date of 'Too Fortiche', by a French studio project called Les Yper Sound is listed as 1967, it sure sounds a bit later to me. Take some outrageous fuzzed out guitar, add a few drum breaks and otherworldly, spaced out synthesiser blips and the results are one FREAKY record. The men behind the release Pierre Henry and Michael Colombier, were a electronic music pioneer and an innovator in musique concrete composition and a producer/ writer of film scores, respectively. The synth work foreshadowed the likes of progressive '70's groups such as Gong, Hawkwind, and Neu.
While The Sweet (later, simply, Sweet) are one of the quintessential glam rock groups, they busted out a serious freak out jam as the flip side of their glam hit 'Little Willie' in 1972. Starting off with an outrageous heavy guitar intro, the group launches into a variation of the 'Foxy Lady' riff and rhythm, for an ass kicking romp thru some seriously heavy, seriously psychedelic sounds. Interestingly enough, this particular copy came from the haul of an early 70's soul DJ whose collection I purchased, and out of the hundreds of 45's, very few of them were rock records. He marked the 'hot' side of records with an X, and it's no surprise that he put the 'X' on 'The Man From Mecca' and not 'Little Willie'. Makes perfect sense to me, as I could easily see spinning this disc along side early funk and '70's soul; I bet he lit up the dance floor when he did it back in the day, too.

Canadian singer-songwriter Tess Parks has recently released a fabulous album titled Blood Hot, which has come out on 359 Records (the new label from Creation Records founder Alan McGee). Tess is a Toronto native who spent some time in London and then relocated to Canada and formed a cracking band that not only understands the vibe of her songs but adds a very creative and unique way of presenting them.
Tess' songs are rooted in simplicity in a way that brings to mind not only folk music (she is on record as being a massive fan of Dylan and Elliott Smith), but also adds a droning, hypnotic psychedelic element that is uber appealing in a Velvet Underground/ Brian Jonestown Massacre/ Mazzy Star kind of way. Modern psychedelic folk rock? YES, please!
Unfortunately, the album isn't available on vinyl, but there's a fantastic limited edition 45 that IS (get it here).
'Someday' is so catchy it just gets rooted deep into the brain and I certainly don't want it to leave; it's the kind of song that can stay in your head all day and not be annoying- in fact, it just makes me wanna hear it again and again.
The flip side, 'Let's Sing This Song', (which isn't on the album) is just as great, and turns up the hypnotic factor with some fantastic slow motion guitar bends and super sensual vocals.
What makes it all even more fantastic is that Tess is only 23 years old- just when it's easy to feel jaded that the younger folks aren't 'getting it', along comes a talent that *does*. I for one can't wait to see what the future holds for this artist. Stellar stuff!

An age where remnants of the psychedelic sound mated with bubblegum songcraft and a pinch of the 'HEAVY' rock (without the ...'n' roll) fused together.
First up in this installment is River Deep's 'Take A Ride', which is essentially 2:35 of very dirty innuendo on top of a high energy beat track. This appears to be the only record by River Deep, so I'm assuming they were a studio concoction (as were so many of these types of records).
Next up we have 'Neurotic Reaction' from a German band (called Die Anderson) that was re-named Kannibal Komix for the US market. The track (1970) reminds me of the music that I remember hearing in low budget films from the era that had a ubiquitous LSD-bad-trip scene that would show on UHF TV Saturday afternoons when I was a kid. Records like this also kind of fall into a proto-glam category, as they would fit right in with the danceable rock tracks that became the mode de rigeur of the glam scene.
While I've had the Plant & See 45 in my collection for a long time, I had no idea until this morning any details about the band. It turns out that their lone LP (from which this 45 was taken from in 1969) has been recently reissued by Light In The Attic Records, and the group history is fascinating. Vocalist and songwriter Willie Lowery was a Native American (he passed away in 2012), the drummer was a black man (the incredible Forris Fulford, who defies gravity with his drumming here), the bass player Latino (Ron Seiger), and a lady backing vocalist (Carol Fitzgerald). The track sure does COOK, and it's yet another variation on the 'Foxy Lady' rhythm (itself a variation of the old bump 'n' grind) that was heard on so many of these types of records.

Of course we lost one of the greatest a little over a week ago; Phil Everly had the voice of an angel, and his massive body of recorded work with his brother Don is some of the greatest music ever recorded by anyone, anywhere.
From the beginning, the brothers recorded output beautifully merged Appalachian harmonies with rock n roll music for something that is 100% original, and was a massive influence on so many artists that followed their lead. In a move that could only have been fate, The Everly's moved from Cadence Records (the home of their '50's hits) to Warner Brothers Records in 1960. The hits continued for a few years (including their biggest, 'Cathy's Clown'), eventually the group was swept by the wayside by newer sounds (specifically the British Invasion, which owed so much to the pioneering work of The Everlys). However, during the mid-60's, the group branched out and mated their patented sound to R&B (the equisite Beat And Soul and Rock And Soul LP's, 1965), and a brilliant LP which found the group backed by The Hollies and fully adopting the Mod sound (Two Yanks In England, 1966). During this time, the once stodgy Warner Brothers label recast itself as THE hip label for cutting edge music, and 1967 releases from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Grateful Dead and The Electric Prunes (to name a few) cemented that image fully in place. The Everlys were ready to embrace the underground, and they did so beautifully on their 1968 releases.
'Lord Of The Manor' may very well be the most avant garde single EVER released by a major hitmaking group- any chances of commercial success are non-existant with a song that waits more than :35 before the lead vocals come in; and OH, those voices! Don turns in one of his most soulful lead vocals, while Phil soars gorgeously through a lyric that takes on class struggle in a gently poetic way. And yes, that IS the ending.
The flip side, 'Milk Train', is a more traditional sound but still puts one giant step forward for the groups' creativity for a beautiful example of country fried soul.
The Everlys' 1968 LP release (Roots) is a major high point in recorded music, and in my opinion easily rates within the 50 best LP's ever made if I were to compile such a list. Under the brilliant arranger of Beau Brummels guitarist/ songwriter Ron Elliott, this album matched the Everlys' sound with heavy doses of tasteful psychedelia and heavier rock and in turn created one of the first and (in my opinion) best LP that can be filed under the genre country rock.
For a single release, the wah-wah drenched and flat out barn burning 'T For Texas' (the wildly rearranged adaptation of Jimmie Rodgers' 'Blue Yodel No 1') was coupled with 'I Wonder If I Care As Much', itself a radically rearranged version of the flip side to the Everlys' first hit, 'Bye Bye Love'. On the LP, these two songs are cross faded together, and while that's a lovely bit of production brilliance from Lenny Waronker, it's nice to hear the tracks on their own as well (and in mono mixes to boot).
Long live The Everly Brothers.

First time poster - long time lurker. My intention is to spill my guts here in the hopes that other first time (and seasoned veterans) can post some of their tips in dealing with the outlaws.
Firstly, yes I am going to councilling weekly which helps. My councillor although female is not a mom yet so it's hard to relate (even tho she is very good!)
Anyhow, first time mom, married and ecstatic about the kid:) he's 8weeks old and doing great. I am an only child and so is my husband. Do we have an only grandchild on both sides. My dad lives across the country (and visits as often as he can, he was here for his birth) and the inlaws live next door.
I used to love how close my inlaws were physically and mentally to us, until baby arrived. Not only did he arrive at xmas, but the first 6 weeks were hell with non stop visitors with our open door policy. Grandma was here sometimes 10 times a day. Unfortuntally I don't have the willing support from my husband as I would like, he feels that I'm being bitchy and overprotective chasing everyone away. (including grandma) which is true because I want US to have family time as a threesome. Not that I don't want the inlaws around, we do dinner twice a week and we see them EVERY day. But I don't want every moment to be about them, not us.
Unfortuntally, my gut also tells me something different. I am horribly angry at the "neighbors" because when baby was 2 weeks old my fil decided to try to kill himself. Present was my Mil, my husband, myself and my baby. He survived because my husband revived him. What kind of man puts his son through that, let alone when he has a brand new family. My kid should have NEVER have been a part of that. EVER
So now along with the normal "my Inlaws live too close and get under my skin" song and dance, there's this HUGE mistrust and anger I have for his family. I am one of "those people" that get angry about suicide, regardless of the reasons he had, empathy is not an emotion I can have for this one. He stole time from his son and grandson as now my husband is trying to split time "taking care" of his parents and us at the same time.
I don't trust them with the baby, not even his mom, for a moment. I am angry that they took something so joyous and precious and turned it into something ugly. Why should "all be forgiven" and at a time when I needed them most, none of them were there for us.
Now I see a councilor every week to try to get my marriage back on track, manage my anger, and take care of an obviously busy newborn. His FIL? Goes once a month. He MIL? Been once.
Sigh.... Rant over

Big 12 football: Week 2 rankings
Time to rank the Big 12 football teams, based on what they've done so far. Not what we think they will do. Not what they've done in the past. What they've done through two weeks. And you'll be surprised at No. 1.
1. Iowa State 2-0: A victory at Iowa and a home win a week ago over Tulsa. The Hawkeyes are no great shakes, but to beat a perennial Big Ten bowl team on the road is more impressive than anything anyone else in the Big 12 has done. Plus the victory over Tulsa is a solid win. Winning on the road is a big deal. That's why so many coaches don't want to play on the road.
2. Kansas State 2-0: The 52-13 rout of Miami will sufficiently scare the rest of the Big 12. The Wildcats licked the Hurricanes and it could have been worse. Of course, K-State was tied with Missouri State 9-9 in the third quarter of the season opener, so let's not pretend the 'Cats are unbeatable. But the rout of Miami packs a punch.
3. West Virginia 1-0: The Mountaineers had the week off. But that 69-34 thrashing of Marshall showed that WVU's offense is what it's cracked up to be.
4. Baylor 1-0: The Bears also had the week off. But their rout of SMU still has legs. But looming is a very interesting game. Friday night, Sept. 21. Baylor at Louisiana-Monroe, conqueror of Arkansas.
5. OU 2-0: OSU's meltdown in Tucson shows that any road victory is to be appreciated, even in El Paso.
6. Texas Tech 2-0: The Red Raiders won 58-10 on the road at Texas State,which was coming off a road win at Houston.
7. Texas 2-0: The Longhorns lead the Mountain West Conference, via home victories over Wyoming and New Mexico. But next comes a road game, at Ole Miss. The Rebels aren't any good, but homefield advantage always is.
8. TCU 1-0: The Horned Frogs blasted Grambling State 56-0, but like Savannah State, Florida A&M and any other I-AA foe you want to name, that doesn't count.
9. OSU 1-1: The Cowboys were awful at Arizona on Saturday night. Get better, or drop steeply down the Big 12 standings.
10. Kansas 1-1: The Jayhawks lost at home to Rice. KU might not win another game.

Stayed here after visiting the dunes. It was off-season and the water to the sites had not been turned on yet. Price reflects $5.00 off for no water, but charged additional $2.50 for each additional person over 2 occupants. The sites are clean and level. I know it was off-season, but wish the dumpster had been closer to the campground area for easier drop-off. There were only 2 other campers, so we were able to select any site we wanted. Has great views of the dunes from many of the sites. - Fitzjohnfan
Sep 2015 - $38.00
This was a great place to see the Great Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls. We stayed 2 nights. Bathrooms were clean and spotless. The campsite had a terrific view of the Dunes, was fun to watch the changing looks on the dunes from camper. It is a very dry arid climate, gravel sites, level sites, full hookups. Very happy with our stay in the area. even had cell service :) - joronallen
Jul 2015 - $38.00
We stayed here one night and wish we could have stayed longer. It's small and has restrooms, laundry and game room in central location so everyone is pretty much equally close. The view of the great sand dunes was amazing from our site. The RV park was easy to navigate on the roads. The restrooms were big and clean! There was also restaurant on the facility. Utilities worked well and all the sites had a great view of the dunes. They had sand sledding boards for rent, lots of fun!!! - Nina Rito

We rolled up to the gate on 10/6/15 and a sign was up saying "campground closed for the season." We still saw a couple RV's at the campground so we drove in anyway to check, and it happened to be the very last night of the season before they shut down all the spigots and electric. The park ranger was very friendly and because all the facilities and water was closed down, he gave us a complimentary bag of firewood. Rate is $20 + $7 daily park pass (if you didn't buy the Colorado annual pass for $70). Each site gets a firepit, picnic table with sun/wind shade. He told us that if we come back in the future, Loop A is the best one because you get the best view of the lake and sand dunes. We still saw a great view of all the mountains from Loop C - there are no trees to block your view here, just a vast sea of desert brush. There are some pull-thru's, but a lot of the sites have the electric box on the right side of the unit, so watch where you park so your cord can reach it. It's beautiful scenery and the sunset was grand and spectacular! For those with Verizon, LTE data works well here - got 36% signal of -115dBm. - Sara C.
Jun 2015 - $20.00
This park Just a second gotten some unfair reviews. When we visited in late June, there was a lake (it is seasonal) and there were a few no-seeums, but you can't fault the campground. The ranger was extremely nice and drove us around on his Gator to find a campsite that suited us. The one we chose was level, had electricity, and a sheltered picnic table. There was no water hookup, but we were not far from the faucet. It is in close proximity to the Great Sand Dunes, offering a fantastic view of the dunes and mountains and some spectacular sunsets. The stars were unparalleled at night. We would stay again in a heartbeat! - KyKampers
Sep 2014 - $27.00
We really enjoyed the seclusion and the exceptional view of the mountains and the sand dunes from our site. It was level, and the power worked great. We selected a site in loop C as the other loops were closed, and paid our 20 camp fee + 7 day use fee. I had gone on the website previously and learned that the lake was dry. But...we had been dry camping and looking forward to the advertised hot showers and laundry...it came as a real shock to find these locked up tight!! Very disappointed! If this is routinely done, it should be noted on the website, as the lake closure had been. Would have been rated a 9 otherwise....it is such a nice facility, but sits unused. - midcenturynana
