Academic Year: May-June, 2012
Angel, Angel, where art thou?
My knowledge sharing adventure in Italy
I had the honor of being selected as a Fulbright Specialist in Public/Global Health, and traveled to the University of Eastern Piedmont Amedeo Avogadro in Novara, Italy from 17 May to 2 June 2012. One of the highlights of my visit was a full scale, live disaster drill on 31 May from 8 to 11 p.m. This brings us to the title of the article.
Twenty nine students from all over the world participated in the residential course of the European Master of Disaster Medicine (EMDM: www.dismedmaster.com), where I served as a specialist in Public Health. The official language of the education and training was English, so there was a language barrier our mock disaster involved other local Italians not involved with the program. Our simulated disaster was a mock bomb explosion at the soccer stadium with multiple casualties. Italian nationals who participated in the disaster drill – a mock bomb explosion at the soccer stadium with multiple casualties – included the civil defense, firefighters, police, doctors, nurses, medical students, Italian Red Cross, the media, and civilian volunteers. The mayor of Novara also took part in the drill.
The drill organizers decided to designate select medical students with English skills as "angels," to provide translation to participants who didn't speak English well.. It was common to hear an English speaking doctor yell, "angel, come here." The student "angel" would run to the doctor's side and simultaneously translate the instructions given by the doctor to manage the casualties.
This was the most realistic drill I have ever seen. The Italian Red Cross transformed the participating medical students to look like victims (photo 2). These students were trained prior to the exercise and were considered "intelligent victims." They each carried a script and acted out specific medical conditions, getting better or worse depending on what mock treatment they received. Some were psychological casualties who would do things like yell and scream if they saw a friend injured or killed. The participants were excellent actors.
During my time in Italy, we also had two real earthquakes. One of them occurred at 4 a.m. on 27 May, just a few hours after I had done an interview with a local news reporter from La Stampa and warned her that Italy was at risk for earthquakes. Some of the EMDM students evacuated the hotel where we were staying and asked the professors whether this earthquake was a part of their training.
When a second quaked occurred a few days later, several hospitals had to be evacuated, sowe sent some medical students to assist in the process. We also supplied life-saving equipment to the rescue efforts. This also meant that we had fewer resources to carry out our drill, so we had to improvise. For example, we used color photocopies of monitors pasted onto cardboard boxes to simulate the computer screens (photo 1). One challenge occurred when the communications equipment we had intended to use was moved to the real disaster, and we had to use a more powerful system. Emergency managers in nearby Bergamo heard about a, "major explosion in the stadium in Novara" and alerted the authorities in Rome, thinking it was an actual event. We quickly reassured them that it was a drill.
The area around Novaro is known for culinary delicacies such as olive oil and gorgonzola cheese. We had wonderful local Italian cuisine throughout the visit. We had an opening reception at the local cooking school which gave the students their first opportunity to cook and serve for a large group. But unfortunately, as a result of the earthquake, large amounts of parmesan cheese were destroyed, counted among the economic losses of the natural disaster.
In addition to teaching in the EMDM course, I gave several lectures at the University (photo 3). I am now back home at the University of California, Irvine and grateful for the wonderful opportunity provided by the Fulbright Commission. I encourage others to apply for this program and those who have participated to share their experiences.

Simmons, a.k.a "Reverend Run" was born in
Hollis, Queens in 1964. The youngest of three boys,
he became fascinated with music at a young age. Although
a drummer by nature, he soon learned how to DJ, which
was becoming the most elite hobby amongst the black
youth of New York in the late seventies. His name was
" DJ Run, the son of Kurtis Blow" named
after whom he deejayed for. One house party after the
other, DJ Run's popularity grew and even caught the
attention of his older brother Russell, who was busy
creating a record label named Def Jam which would go
on to be the biggest rap label in the world.
Along with deejaying, Simmons was also a very good MC.
He formed a rap group RUN DMC with his partners Daryl
McDaniels(DMC) and Jason Mizell (Jam Master Jay). Soon
after they recorded their first song, the country, then
the world, became their stomping grounds. They are the
first rappers to sell a Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum
album. The first rappers to have a video on MTV. the
first rap group on the cover of Rolling Stone
magazine, and the first rappers to be nominated for
a Grammy award. The list goes on and on. Simmons' love
for the stage placed him as the unquestionable leader
of the group. With him at the helm they became the most
important rap group of all time.
But for Joseph, the late eighties were a dim period
and he found that success didn't always equal
happiness. In his search for fulfillment, he found Zoe
Ministries. The life principles that he is being taught
by Bishop E. Bernard Jordan helped him to regain control
of his life and he went from serving as an usher to
eventually an ordained minister. With his faith behind
him he took on the name Reverend Run to let the world
know that his calling to Christ still included his calling
to rap, unlike what most thought.
loving husband and proud father of 5 children, Reverend
Run to this day has continued to soar. With a new sneaker
that sold over a million pair in 2002, numerous concerts,
guest appearances with other artists, motivational speaking
engagements, movie and TV show parts, along with achieving
the highest accolades in music, Rev Run's future
is always looking bright. Despite the loss of longtime
partner and friend Jam Master Jay in late 2002, he holds
his head high, knowing his place in God, music history
and in the heart of millions.

Freeh at last.
The long-awaited report from Louis Freeh and his investigators will be released at 9 a.m. Thursday. It is unknowable whether it will mark real closure for Penn State in the Jerry Sandusky matter or open up fresh wounds for a university community that has been bleeding since November.
The report is awaited with both hope and skepticism - hope that Freeh's group will answer some of the nagging questions surrounding Sandusky's crime spree and skepticism that an investigation commissioned and paid for by Penn State can be truly independent.

Alice (Rachel O'Rourke) and Jim (Jared Harris) are two alcoholics from New York. When Nora's doctor demands she stops drinking, the both of them decide to go back to Ireland together with their son to get together with Nora's grandparents. When they arrive, Nora's uncle Bill (Christopher Walken) tells them Nora's grandmother has gone insane while he himself is practically blind but in fact, Bill has found the mummified body of a female druid which he's trying to bring back to life and he needs Nora to help him. When the druid revives it kills Bill and takes on the form of Nora with the ultimate goal to take Nora's soul…
Sound and Vision:
The movie is shown in normal TV aspect which clearly shows this film was shot not for the cinema which also shows in the overall quality. The image is rather soft and lacks a bit color. Maybe the director did this intentionally in an effort to increase the atmosphere but in effect it makes the movie look dated (while it's shot in 1998).
The soundtrack isn't special at all either. The 2.0 track is sufficient for dialogues but don't expect more.
Trance is a gothic horror movie that starts out extremely slow and looks very low budget. However, after a while it seems to loose track and wanders between a slasher movie (with the invincible druid) and some gothic thriller combined with elements of the struggle of the IRA in Ireland. All this makes it hard to follow while the main storyline doesn't really give much information away. Christopher Walken's appearance in the movie is rather short and seems to be used as some sort of promotional extra (his face on the cover). All in all it's a film for fans of the genre but I doubt the general public will have a lot of interest in it.

Carbon's Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour
Reviewed by 2 customers
Comments about Carbon's Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour:
This reminds me of vacationing. We offer this at our condo in Ocean Shores, WA. It is included in the free breakfast each morning. Now we can have it anytime at home! Also love the Kona Coast Macadamia nut pancake mix!
Comments about Carbon's Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour:
I lived in the town where this is produced in Michigan. They used to distribute the heavy cast iron waffle makers with this.. The malted, airy waffle is delicious! One time I had a one inch Belgian style waffle served with a half peach in the middle and whip cream. It was served on a dinner plate - what a delight. The shipping was super fast. I will be repurchasing for sure! So glad to find it. Fresh is always better.

Nothing was going to get in the way of the Trinity Classical Academy Knights boys basketball team against the Laguna Blanca Owls of Santa Barbara in the CIF-Southern Section Division VI semifinals.
Determined to get back to their second consecutive CIF championship game, the No. 1 seeded Knights defeated the Owls 59-38 in front of a raucous crowd Friday night at Santa Clarita Christian School.
"It's hard to make it back," said Trinity head coach John Brooks. "Coming in as the No. 1 seed, every game the other team wants to beat you. So it's good to continue to win and be there."
Last year, the Knights fell to Rio Hondo Prep of Arcadia 47-40 in the finals.
This year, Trinity (17-8) will get a title shot against Desert Chapel of Palm Springs.
But to get into the championship game, the Knights had to take care of business against Laguna Blanca (17-8).
Coming off his 12-point, four 3-pointer performance against Baptist Christian in the quarterfinals, Knights sophomore guard Josh Mumper continued to knock it down from deep against the Owls.
Mumper finished with a game-high 19 points, including five makes from behind the arc.
"I have a lot of confidence right now," Mumper said. "I just want to keep it rolling into the CIF (championship) game."
Trinity opened the game on a 14-5 run and never looked back as it led 17-7 after one quarter, 32-19 at halftime and 45-25 at the end of three quarters.
Senior Spencer Klehn contributed eight of his 16 points in the first quarter, while sophomore Michael Mateo chipped in with nine points for the Knights.
Andrew Vignolo led Laguna Blanca with nine points.
Spenser Wyatt and Pierce O'Donnell each scored eight points for the Owls.
"We ran into a better team," said Laguna Blanca head coach Sal Rodriguez. "They took us out of our offense, and they were really intense. I hope they win the CIF title next weekend because they're an excellent team."
Other than the fact that the CIF title will be the on the line, the matchup between Trinity and Desert Chapel has another interesting storyline.
The two schools met in the CIF-SS 8-man Division II semifinals on Nov. 22, 2013.

A man is on the loose after shooting another man near the 900 block of S.W. 59th street, Oklahoma City police officers say.
Paramedics responded to the area and were parked at an OnCue Express gas station when they heard shots fired. Police arrived a short time later and found a man who had been shot in the stomach.
Officials say he was rushed to a local hospital. Officers interviewed people at J's Place, a nearby bar, but weren't able to get a clear account of what happened.
No arrests have been made, and police say they don't have any suspects. The victim's condition is unknown. If anyone has any information, they are asked to call police.

UK mortgage approvals register a 17-month high in July
Published 26/08/2009
The number of mortgages approved for house purchase jumped to a 17-month high during July as buyers continued to return to the property market, figures showed.
A total of 38,181 loans were approved for people buying a home, 77% more than in July last year and the highest level since February 2008, according to the British Bankers' Association yesterday.
There was also a rise in total mortgage advances, with £8.4bn lent during the month, up from £8.1bn.
But despite the increase the BBA said the figures were below seasonal expectations.
It added that new lending was being offset by people reducing their mortgage debt, with net lending, which strips out redemptions and repayments, falling to £1.6bn, its lowest level since October 2000.
The BBA said slower housing market activity meant it was taking longer for mortgage approvals for house purchase to work through into the gross and net lending figures.
It added that the number of people remortgaging continued to be subdued, with only 30,600 loans arranged by people switching to a better deal during the month.
But the group said the figure appeared to have stabilised and was slightly up on both the previous month and the recent six month average.
The number of people withdrawing equity from their home or taking out a mortgage on a buy-to-let property continued to fall in July to reach its lowest level since October 1997 of 18,509.

On Saturday, Mayer, who happens to be Down Under to promote his own album, Tweeted the following: "If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you."
Why all the fuss?
On Friday, about 100 angry fans reportedly stormed out of Britney's concert at the Burswood Dome in the Western Australia city of Perth, saying they were disappointed by the lackluster performance and Spears's lip-synching during her two-hour show. Spears gave Perth fans a generic welcome, never mentioning their city by name. "What's up Australia?," she said from the stage. "How you feeling tonight? It's so good to be here tonight. Your country is beautiful."
One disgruntled concert-goer, Wendy Di Renzo, 36, said she paid $148 for her ticket. "It was so impersonal. She did not interact with her audience," she says. "There were no big TV screens projecting the action, so if you didn't know Britney, you might have even doubted it was her."
Meanwhile, politicians in three Australian states – Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales – have called for new laws to force music promoters to disclose whether a concert will be live or lip-synched.
Yet Britney clearly left many of her fans satisfied. They have flooded her Web site with messages of support, and praised her for putting on a good show. "I paid $AUS 1,500 [nearly 1400 U.S. dollars]," wrote one. "To see a fantastic artist perform and sing in front of me is my dream come true. I love you Britney."
Another fan, Scott Bown, 16, tells PEOPLE the concert was "great" and Britney was "amazing." "People should stop being nasty about her and get a life," he says.
Spears, who is traveling with her father, will perform in Melbourne on Nov. 11.

Here at Recipe Swap, we're never quite sure which reader request is going to light up the switchboard, or to use a more modern metaphor, crash the e-mail inbox.
A few weeks ago, reader "JR," of Manlius, asked for help in locating anise oil, an item required in a recipe for Springerle, a traditional German-style cookie decorated by using a cutout mold or a special rolling pin with indentations.
We added a suggestion that readers send in their recipes for Springerle cookies.
The inbox didn't crash, but it sure got full in a hurry.
First, many readers had suggestions for where to find anise oil: A.C. Moore, Michael's or other craft stores that sell confectionery supplies; LorAnn Oils, including anise, can often be found in the bulk aisle at Wegmans, or you can try www.lorannoils.com/ online; or try King Arthur Flour, www.kingarthurflour.com.
And Smith Restaurant Supply Co. in Syracuse carries specially marked Springerle rolling pins, used to create the design imprint on the cookie.
We also found a website dedicated to the art and history of Springerle, run by Ken Hamilton, of South Carolina.
"The origin of the Springerle name seems to be attributed to the fact that many of the first molds were of horses and their riders," Hamilton says on the site. "Also, that some Springerle cookies seems to 'spring up' when baked. There are dimensions formed as the cookie bakes, with the top "springing up" from the base. ... Biblical scenes were some of the earliest images portrayed in Springerle. Other scenes soon followed that reflected daily life, such as holidays, births, weddings, engagements, country living, gardening, etc."
Not all the recipes sent in by our readers call for anise oil; some use anise seeds, and some use anise extract. Readers Dick Gumpper, of Brewerton, and MaryEllen Botsford, of Skaneateles, both remembered their mothers, like JR's mother, buying the anise oil at
the drugstore.
In any case, its seems the licorice aroma of anise is traditional, as well. Botsford also has some suggestions to achieve the proper "springiness" in the Springerle.
"The most important thing in this recipe is to use cake flour and fresh baking powder or the cookies will not rise properly," Botsford writes.
Surplus solutions: Recipe Swap World Headquarters is probably one of many homes that has a surplus of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups on the day after Halloween (that's not because we don't give them out, but because we love them so much we buy way too many).
Happily, the Chicago Tribune found a recipe from a chef in that city for an "adult" treat — based on the French pot de creme — that will use up the peanut butter cups that are hanging around.
And, speaking of too much of something, who hasn't at one time or another had too much zucchini? Perhaps the last of your garden produce are still hanging around. The Baltimore Sun helps out with a hearty recipe for stuffed zucchini.
Reader requests: Here's a request that almost everyone who cooks can identify with: On our Recipe Swap forum —www.syracuse.com/forums/recipeswap/ — ilovetocook writes "What does everyone make for dinners? Something budget-friendly. ... We just have the same old same old pan-fried cube steaks, pork chops, chicken etc.. .. Thanks for any suggestions!"
Springerle Cookies
From Dick Gumpper, of Brewerton
4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
1 cup confectioners sugar
4 tablespoons anise seeds
Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl on high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes. Beat in granulated sugar ¼ cup at a time, still on high speed, and continue beating until mixture is very thick and pale, about 8 more minutes.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and lemon peel to egg mixture and work in with hands or a wooden spoon. Gather dough into a ball, wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours, although 4 or 6 hours is better.
Sprinkle pastry board and rolling pins with confectioners' sugar. Divide dough into 3 equal parts; roll out ½-inch thick. Cut cookies apart. (Gumpper uses a round, 1.5-inch diameter cutter). Place cookies 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheets that have been sprinkled with anise seeds. Dry, uncovered, at room temperature at least 8 hours.
Heat oven to 325, bake until cookies are firm and light brown on the bottoms (15 to 20 minutes). Cool on wire racks.
Reserve anise seeds remaining on cookie sheets and put cookies, reserved seeds and a piece of bread into an airtight container or bag.
Change the bread often, as these cookies can get very hard when dried out.
German Springerle
From MaryEllen Botsford, of Skaneateles
4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon anise oil or 2 tablespoons anise extract
4 cups cake flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
Beat eggs until thick. Gradually add sugar, then flavoring; finally sift and add the dry ingredients. Chill dough.
Roll out about ½-inch thick with regular rolling pin. Then mark with special Springerle rolling pin or board. Cut into design squares. Separate squares and place on greased cookie sheets. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
Bake in a slow oven (325 degrees) until light yellow. Put into airtight container.
Note: Cookies are quite hard on the outside and airy on the inside. For more anise flavor, sprinkle the cookie sheets with a little anise seed before placing cookies on them.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Pots de Creme
From the Chicago Tribune
1½ cups whipping cream, divided
½ cup milk
1½ tablespoons sugar, divided
5 egg yolks, beaten
5 ounces milk chocolate
2 cups chopped chocolate peanut butter cups, divided
1 vanilla bean
½ teaspoon sea salt, about
4 mint leaves
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine 1¼ cups of the cream, all the milk and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a small saucepan; heat almost to a boil. In a bowl, whisk a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks just to warm them; whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the remaining milk-cream mixture. Add milk chocolate; let melt, about 1 minute. Whisk to incorporate.
Put mixture through a fine-mesh strainer; divide among 6 ramekins (custard cups or oversized coffee cups). Top with 1½ cups of the chopped peanut butter cups. Place ramekins in a large baking pan. Fill the pan with hot water to the same height as the mixture in the ramekins. Cover with foil; bake until set, about 35 minutes. Remove ramekins from the pan; top with remaining ½ cup of the peanut butter cups; let cool. Refrigerate 2 hours.
Beat remaining ¼ cup of the cream and ½ tablespoon of the sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Slice vanilla bean lengthwise; scrape out the pulp. Mix with sea salt. Place a dollop of whipped cream on each pot de creme; garnish with vanilla salt and torn mint leaves.
Makes 6 servings.
Baked Stuffed Zucchini
From The Baltimore Sun
6 to 8 medium zucchini
2 medium onions, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
12 sprigs parsley, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup frozen spinach, cooked and drained
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1½ teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs beaten
2/3 cup dry bread crumbs
Cook whole zucchini in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out center, leaving ¼-inch of shell all around. Combine the zucchini pulp with the cooked and drained spinach in a bowl and set aside.
Saute onions, garlic and parsley in olive oil until onion is tender. Add to spinach and pulp mixture and combine well. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, eggs, cheese and seasonings.
Lightly grease or spray a cooking dish large enough to hold the zucchini shells. Lightly salt shells and fill with pulp mixture, then sprinkle bread-crumb mixture on top. Cover dish with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more. Makes: 6 to 8 servings

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.

Watch Willie Nelson's stark new video
On his new album, "Let's Face the Music and Dance," Willie Nelson and his musical Family band lay the musical vibe that has kept them on the road for decades across a swath of American classics. The impressive tracklist ranges from the 1935 Irving Berlin title track to a sparse introspective update of the singer's own "Is the Better Part Over."
To mark the new album (You can read my review of it here), Nelson has released a video that captures the musicians recording Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" in the studio. Watch it below. One of a pair of instrumental tracks on the record, the song dances across the smoky jazz riffs from Nelson's classical guitar, Trigger," and the musical interplay of his sister Bobbie Nelson's piano and Mickey Raphael's resonant harmonica. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

I have a theory about why the Road Trip Diet is successful.
My theory is that away from home (on a road trip, when traveling), we measure food but not exercise; at home (our normal routine), we measure exercise and do not measure food.
When traveling, exercise is constant and not measured. We can walk around San Francisco all day, getting a better hill workout than any gym machine provides. When we eat, portions are smaller because there is no "home" to take leftovers to.
Personally, even though I eat more "bad stuff", I drink much more water and eat more produce away from home than at home.
At home, we exercise for a certain number of minutes, miles, laps, or milestones. When we eat, our portions are larger and snacks are omnipresent. If you work in an office, temptations of bagels and doughnuts, celebrations, and snack machines dominate.
What do you think? Does my Measurement Theory hold water?

JACKSON, MI – The highly anticipated Klavon's Pizzeria & Pub restaurant in Vandercook Lake is a destination that owner Justin Klavon has wanted to bring to Jackson-area pizza lovers for years now.
Because of the high customer demand at the Blackman Township location, it is not uncommon – especially on the weekends – for diners to wait an hour or so to get a table.
"We always wanted to get to that side of town," Klavon said the Vandercook Lake location, which is anticipated to open in spring. "This store (at 6010 Clinton Road), we're kind of over capacity with the kitchen, and the wait times can be really long. It would be nice to balance things out."
The high customer demand appears to have paid off. Along with expanding, Klavon's Pizzeria & Pub was voted as the best pizza spot in the Jackson area by MLive readers.
After nearly a week of voting and more than 11,000 votes were cast, Klavon's Pizzeria & Pub, known for its Chicago-style pizza, emerged as the winner.
Readers were asked to vote in a poll to choose the best pizza spot in the greater Jackson area. The poll closed at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6.
Klavon's came in first with 3,192 votes, or close to 30 percent of the votes. The Deck Down Under in Jerome placed second with 2,825 votes, while Laughlin's Slice of Spice in Spring Arbor came in third with 2,529 votes.
Klavon's will now be a part of the search for MLive's Michigan's Best Pizza, led by statewide entertainment reporter John "Gonzo" Gonzalez.
Gonzo will start his tour for the best pizza Sunday, Nov. 10 and is going to roll through Jackson on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Gonzo will be at Klavon's at 2 p.m. that day.
"It's definitely flattering," Klavon said about placing first for the Jackson area's vote. "We have a pretty religious following, it seems. It's very exciting."
Klavon already had restaurant business experience before opening his restaurant in Blackman Township in 2007. He started Justin Tyme Pizza years ago with his mother. The two parted ways after successfully running three locations, at Clark Lake, Napoleon and Grass Lake.
Klavon said people drive for miles to try Klavon's Chicago-style pizza. "I think that definitely sets us apart (from other pizzerias)," he said.
The new Klavon's Pizzeria & Pub restaurant in Vandercook Lake will include an outdoor patio, take-out window and multiple levels with a bar mezzanine.
Construction continues for the newest location of the popular restaurant, known for its Chicago-style pizza. The new location, 1361 Old McDevitt Road, will provide 75 to 100 full- and part-time jobs.
Just like the Clinton Road location, which employs 60, the new restaurant will feature a bar area and several televisions and will have a similar menu, decor and color scheme.
Along with the popular pizza, Klavon's burgers, sandwiches and wraps have also seen an uptick in sales.
"All this talk (about the Michigan's Best search) has definitely helped," Klavon said.

Dave Richards: Manzarek understood freedom
In May 2007, opportunity knocked and the Doors answered.
I was invited to a press preview for "Break on Through: The Lasting Legacy of the Doors," an exhibit on the legendary rock band at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
I expected to breeze in, take notes and interview the curator. Instead, I got so much more: a lengthy, sit-down chat with Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, just me and them.
Though a big Doors fan, I didn't introduce myself by saying, "Hello, I love you; let me tell you my name." But I was so stoked I could barely get out the first question: How soon did it become apparent the Doors had something special?
"Song one!" Manzarek exclaimed. He recalled the Doors' first practice, when Krieger pulled out a broken bottleneck to use on guitar.
"I was like, 'What kind of gigs do you play that you would need a weapon like this?' He said, 'Ray, you idiot, it's a bottleneck.' Then he played that snaky-sounding glass against his guitar, and it was amazing.
"He said, 'This would be good for "Moonlight Drive.' And we played 'Moonlight Drive,' and it was the first time I ever played music. I played music all my life, but I never played music until that very moment."
I remembered our conversation -- how eloquent and open he was -- on Monday after Manzarek died in Germany at age 74. He was fun, a real character.
Manzarek's keyboards defined the Doors' sound, but he shaped it another way inadvertently: He used his left hand to play bass parts on piano.
"All he could do was very hypnotic stuff because he had to put his left hand on automatic pilot, and that actually made part of the Doors' sound," Krieger said.
That sound was so distinctive the Doors never brought in a bassist. Two players had auditioned.
"With one guy, we sounded like the Animals, and with the other one, we sounded like the Rolling Stones," Manzarek said.
"There was no point in that; they already existed. We were the Doors. We were different."
They sure were: dark, primal, potent and mysterious with a bluesy undercurrent and hunger for personal and creative freedom. Manzarek believed new generations related to the Doors for more than music.
The band represents the time of life when you wake up, think for yourself, ask questions.
"When you're 15 or 16, you discover a sense of freedom," Manzarek said. "These are like four guys who came from the beach in Venice, Calif., and sought to break on through -- break free of the dictates of religion, schooling and politics. And here we are -- free."
He is now. He broke through to the other side.

A Brilliant Change of Pace
Brundage Snow Blog
February 24, 2014 by April
If you follow this blog, you probably know that it's been DUMPING FOR DAYS up here at Brundage Mountain. As much as we treasure the powder, today, we found inspiration in the warmth of the sun's rays after six straight days of storms.
Virgin white snow is still poised on the tree branches and soft, sugary snow still blankets the slopes. But instead of a frantic rush for fresh lines, today, we slowed down to enjoy the almost-forgotten views. To feel the soothing vibration of the corduroy under our feet. To notice the sparkle as sunshine reacquaints itself with the snow surface. And, of course, to relish a few forgotten freshies found along our more whimsical, more wide-eyed tour around the mountain.
Enjoy the sunbreaks while they last, it looks like more snow is headed our way as soon as tonight!
– April
