Chekele (Mallu Rock) - Avial Cover
Lyrics & Chords
Smitha reminded me of this song today and I thought of doing a mallu number for a change.
This is a song by Avial, a Mallu rock group that I love. Their songs usually introduce a fusion of traditional Mallu music with Rock which I love. Our fellow muzibooan Satyajit Sahu wrote an article on them. You can find it here
I have introduced a few new elements as compared to the original which include some bluesy backing vocals and some harmonies. Hope all of you enjoy this cover!
Group/Song – Avial/Chekele
Covered by – George Kuruvilla
Backing vocals and harmonies – George Kuruvilla
Mixed by: George Kuruvilla

Very very new feel….Never heard any mal rock before. Heard a lot about Avial though.
Smitha Passanha said
OMG….I cannot believe u sang it already! That was fast!!! Awesome vocals George! Loved it. Have to listen to more of Avial stuff. This amazing combo of Mallu and Rock goes to my favs! :-)
- Smitha
Do listen to Deewana Hua Baadal and Bin Tere Sanam
Satyajit Sahu said
Georgie boy,
you have nailed it. Though I must say, this is a softer voice as compared to Anand's voice on the original.
I am hooked to Avial from the day 1 I heard. Truly amazing group. And one of the finest production I have heard from India in ages. Very innovative sound.
Though I don't understand a single word, but the music is absolutely fabulous. It also features the only non-Mallu member and one of my most fav bassist in India today, Naresh Kamath.
Would like to know though how you did the Karaoke track. You have some vocals remover software?
I will look fwd to hear more of Avial stuff from you.
You rock!!
Life's a lot like jazz…. its best when you improvise!
Meera Manohar said
Whoa—Group "AVIAL" is awesome.
George— that was so good maan :) And, your plugin seems to be working just great !! Not familiar with the original, so this is as original as it gets for me. Needless to say, loved the blueszzy feel that you introduced and the harmonies.
Soft transition into 2.32 was wonderful to the ears :P
Overall, awesome, awesome work!!
You should do more of these numbers, quit English :-)))

Joseph Thomas said
Good work George. I love the Avial songs too. The way they mix the Malayalam folk songs/tunes with rock is just amazing. I have heard their lead singer (Anand Paul) performing in various rock shows in and around Thrissur (he's been part of several local rock bands here). And I heard that he is not with the band anymore as he left to USA. And I think Avial without Anand and his clear and powerful vocals is not going to sound the same as they did in the first album. I only wish that they're not going to be a one-album wonder.
Mohammed Ashraf said
George, once you planned to sing a mallu number, you cant think for a better choice. Its really suits your taste. In fact, I was planning to ask you to do this since I started listening to your uploads.
Simply wonderful job. As most of the people noted, AVIYAL is a wonderful group and hope they will continue rocking.
5/5 ……goes to my fav.

Awesome singing George. Loved the harmonies and modulations. Simply superb!!!! 5/5.
Way to go! Keep it coming!
Satyajit Sahu said
George, listening to it all over again (several times). I am as much in love with the original as your take. You have added a lot more stuff in terms of chorus and harmonies, and made it your own.
And for those, who have never heard Avial before, you just can't afford to miss it. No matter if you don't speak Mallu (I don't), but you cannot possibly help yourself being sucked into their music. One of the finest arrangement and modern sound.
Life's a lot like jazz…. its best when you improvise!
Rashmi Nair said
George, this is just ADIPOLI! Thanks a lot for covering a totally different song. Enjoyed it!
Now I gotto start listening to more of Avial songs.

Shakti Mohapatra said
Hey George. Great job with this one. I recently heard Avial live and without their original vocalist they are just a little above average. The new guy had sung Chekele….and I swear it was not par with your cover of it.
Cannot stop myself from pointing 2 things though:
1. The end notes that you sing seem to have a comic element/intonation which I think can be done away with.
2. The strain at the top notes could be made a
little less obvious.
Try out 'Nada Nada' some time if you haven't already :) BTW I am not a Mallu….but I like the sound of Avial :)
Cheers and keep rocking budd.

George Etta,
I have sung many of the avial band songs which are also famous kerala folk songs during my college days ( without the rock element in the traditional way :-). But you have sung this really well took me to those old days. Folk songs always have the feel and heart which you have nailed precisely. Thanks a lot for singing this.

Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza's wedding dates finalized
Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza's marriage has been riding high in the media and among their fans since the day, they opened up about their relationship and marriage to take place. The love has been in the air between the two for last many years but the two maintained silence on this front from the media. And whenever they were questioned, they denied the love. Well, now they have themselves unzipped the fact and the marriage has been planned in February 2012.
The latest about the marriage of both the Bollywood stars is that the dates have been fixed. There would be four-day-marriage celebrations. And as per the reports, the marriage would take place on rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of February 2012. The two five stars hotels have also been booked since the marriage will be super lavish with Bollywood industry, political leaders, business communities and the who's who of the country's presence.
Both have been spotted doing shopping for the marriage as well whereas on the part of the families, the shopping has also been started for the wedding.
The cards are yet to be printed because there is a doubt of the change of the dates since the sources say that the families might go for 1, 2, 3 and 4 February 2012 as well.
It was not shocking news when the two had made the love affair open in the public and media since the speculations of their on-going love had already been running all over.

3 years | Ljubljana, Slovenia
"At the beginning of our relationship, my ex-girlfriend ripped all my posters off the wall during sexual intercourse, which was very hard for me to accept. This calendar was probably an attempt to repair the loss, but did not really succeed. I had hesitated for quite some time before I finally hung it on the wall. Nevertheless it is very nice and it would be a pity to keep it in a drawer."

Everyday Law: How to Garnish a Debtor's Wages
So, you won your lawsuit. Congratulations! Now for the hard part: collecting your money. You should start by asking the defendant to write you a check, but if they won't (or can't), all is not necessarily lost.
There are several ways to collect. If the defendant has a job, one good way is to garnish their wages. By filling out some forms and taking a few steps, you may be able to collect up to 25% of their earnings above minimum wage each pay period, until you are paid in full.
For detailed instructions on this process, read our Step-by-Step guide, "Wage Garnishment: Collect Your Judgment from the Debtor's Paycheck," at http://www.saclaw.org/pages/wage-garnishment.aspx.
Requesting a Wage Garnishment
The first step is to have the court issue a Writ of Execution (Form EJ-130). If you have previously incurred costs for (unsuccessfully) trying to enforce the judgment, or if interest has accrued, you can add these costs to the total amount due by filling out a Memorandum of Costs after Judgment (Form MC-012).
You will also need to complete an Application for Earnings Withholding Order (Wage Garnishment) (Form WG-001). This form provides the Sheriff with information about the debtor and the debtor's employer. If you know the debtor's Social Security number, you will need to complete a Confidential Statement of Judgment Debtor's Social Security Number (Form WG-035).
The paperwork must be served on the employer by the sheriff (or a process server, but it is almost always cheaper and more practical to have the sheriff do it), in the county where the employer is located. In most counties, the Sheriff's Department has a department to handle service. In Sacramento, this "civil division" is located in the William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Courthouse at 3341 Power Inn Road, Room 313. Bring your paperwork, along with a check for the sheriff's service fee (currently $30 (Govt Code §26750)), to the civil division.
The Sheriff's Department will issue your case a Levying Officer's file number – keep track of this number! In Sacramento, you can use this number to track the status of your file at https://www.sacsheriff.com/civil/cases/. The Sheriff's Department will fill out several additional forms (the Earnings Withholding Order (Form WG-002), Employer's Return (Wage Garnishment) (Form WG-005), and Employee Instructions (Wage Garnishment) (Form WG-003), and serve the packet.
After the sheriff serves the packet, the Employer must complete and sign the Employer's Return (Wage Garnishment) (Form WG-005) and give it to the Sheriff, who will mail it to you. Unless the debtor claims the funds are exempt, the Sheriff will then collect the appropriate amount from each paycheck, and send you a check.
Opposing a Claim of Exemption
Some types of income are legally exempt from garnishment (see http://www.saclaw.org/pages/exemptions.aspx for a list of exemptions with hyperlinks to the applicable code sections). If a judgment debtor believes his or her wages are exempt, they can file a Claim of Exemption (Form WG-006) with the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department will then mail you a Notice of Filing of Claim of Exemption (Form WG-008), along with a copy of the judgment debtor's Claim of Exemption (Form WG-006) and Financial Statement (Form WG-007).
If this happens, you must decide if you agree that the funds are exempt. If you do not agree, you must act quickly to oppose the claim of exemption. You have 10 calendar days (counting weekends!) to serve and file your Notice of Opposition to Claim of Exemption (Form WG-009/EJ-170), and your hearing must be scheduled within 30 days of that. Details on how to schedule and conduct the opposition are available on our website at "Wage Garnishment: Collect Your Judgment from the Debtor's Paycheck" (http://www.saclaw.org/pages/wage-garnishment.aspx). If the judge agrees that the funds are not exempt, the Sheriff will start collecting and forwarding the garnished wages to you after the hearing.

A Bloody Good Time 9.04.08: Poltergeist Franchise Breakdown
Posted by
Joseph Lee
on 09.04.2008
Now that the remake is official, let's take a look at the classic series.
Welcome to A Bloody Good Time. Not much fan mail last week, when I discussed the career of George A. Romero. I did get some questions from
Andrew Crow
No mention of the NotLD remake? He produced it while Tom Savini directed it. It's actually great, as far as remakes go. Not as groundbreaking as the first, not even too gory, but the acting is surprisingly good (thanks mostly to genre-favorite Tony Todd). There's enough twists and turns on the original to keep it fresh, too [...] Also, no talk about his rejected screenplay (and how it was a million times better than what we got) for Resident Evil? Or directing the TV commercials for Resident Evil 2? Or even his influence on the Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright duo, and how he gave them his blessing for Shaun of the Dead?
No I didn't mention these things. I was mainly focusing on Romero's directing career, and didn't feel it was necessary to mention those things. Sure he produced the remake of
Night of the Living Dead
, but that movie was Savini's baby.
I said in last week's column that I would cover another horror icon. Well, I lied. This week it's another franchise breakdown! Not only that, but this one is cursed!
Before I really get into it, I should direct you over to
Series Link
, Arnold Furious' new column. If you like my franchise breakdowns, you'll love this, as he does the same thing only with other films besides horror. They're in depth and well-written.
I'm talking about the
franchise. Three movies, one television series and a ton of death and misfortune. Not only will I cover the franchise, but I will talk about the curse as well, as it seems approrpriate. It seems even more so now that it's officially being remade. I don't approve of this, because the original has aged very well and is still frightening. However, nothing is sacred anymore and so I'm just accepting it. I've heard it could be a sequel/remake, similar to the upcoming
Friday the 13th
reboot. It's still in the early stages so who knows what will happen? One thing's for sure, I wouldn't sign up to be a part of it. Not because it's a remake, but because of the curse. I'll get to that later. I should add the only thing I won't cover is the television series, because I've mentioned that in previous columns before.
They're here!
The first of the films was
(1982). The original is always the best in a series and this is no exception to that rule. Produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper (
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
), this is the movie Spielberg referred to as the "suburban nightmare". It opened a week after
E.T: The Extra-Terestrial
, which he called the "suburban dream". The movie starred Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams and Heather O'Rourke. The movie starts out simple enough. An all-American family moves into the suburbs and have a normal, calm peaceful life. Until their little girl Carol Anne starts talking to the "tv people" and strange things begin happening. Soon Carol Anne vanishes into the spirit world and the Freelings have to get her back and escape the hell their home has become.
It's a very simple movie in the fact that it doesn't hardly ever leave the house, and the entire story builds and builds on a supernatural level until the very end when the house is sucked into the netherworld. It's this gradual building (which starts with chairs moving, a fairly tame beginning) that culminates in a wild ending and at this time you're behind the Freelings and just want them to get the hell out. This is done with the great performances from the cast, the superb direction of Hooper as well as the amazing special effects that still hold up now. Considering the movie is twenty-six years old, that's amazing.
Critics loved the film as well. Most loved the family aspect of it, how this one family holds together in spite of the most overwhelming circumstances. Others enjoyed the scares and special effects. It has an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. Financially, it was one of the biggest hits of 1982. With a budget of nearly 11 million, the film went on to make seven times that amount with a little change. It was a huge success, and of course this warranted a sequel, a practice which was becoming commonplace in the eighties.
They're back!
Poltergeist II: The Other Side
(1986) picks up right where the original left off. The house is gone, and has exposed a cave with a lot of dead skeletons. Tangina sends Will Sampson (who plays the man known as Taylor) to protect the Freelings as she feels they may not be safe. Carol Anne's grandmother begins to notice she has a gift for psychic abilities and tells her she should hone it, right before she dies. This is just the start to the strange events as a mysterious man begins stalking them. Reverend Henry Kane, who is clearly established in the beginning as evil and a ghost. Taylor tells the Freelings it is their strength that hurts the spirits and they must stick together if they want to save Carol Anne and send Kane back where he came from.
The Other Side
features some new additions to the plot, such as Taylor, Kane, the reason the spirits want Carol Anne and the fact that she's apparently psychic. It also featured more monster effects and a special-effects filled journey into the otherworld (hence the title) that was a little too hokey for audiences. It's still a fairly decent picture in it's own right, however. While the spiritual subplot and final climax leave a lot to be desired, those who are against the sequel will miss a very unsettling performance by Julian Beck and the return of most of the same cast (except Dominique Dunne). So the good acting from the original is still present here, as everyone tries their best to make a movie on par with it's predecessor.
Critics for the most part didn't enjoy
The Other Side
. It has a 54% on Rotten Tomatoes, and most reviews dismiss it as tedious with a bad ending, even if there is some good there. Financially it didn't fare as well as the original, but it still made double it's budget, which goes in it's favor. It can be said this wrote a nice little chapter onto the original story. We know why the spirits want Carol Anne and where they came from. Now the Freelings are even stronger and their bond will stop any future attempts to capture the little girl because her family will protect her.
Until MGM decided they wanted another sequel, that is.
Poltergeist III
arrived in 1988. This film already had some strikes against it. First of all, how do they put Carol Anne in danger again? Send her to live with other relatives. This was helped by the fact that hardly any of the original cast returned, Heather O'Rourke and Zelda Rubenstein being the exceptions. The second being that the "curse" was in full effect at this time, hurting the film's production in a crucial way. Once again, more on that later. Carol Anne has now been sent to live with her aunt and uncle, which makes no sense given the fact she's supposed to be in a really strong family now. Henry Kane is once again trying to capture her, now that she isn't protected. This time he's played by Nathan Davis. Carol Anne has to be saved again, this time from the spirits using mirrors and a huge apartment building to get her.
I liked
Poltergeist III
for what it was, even if production problems basically screwed the film over. It's nowhere near the quality of the original (or the sequel) but it's still better than 85% of the horror films these days. Critics hated it, giving it almost unanimous negative reviews. It also barely earned back it's budget, so audiences were apparently tired of it too. This was the final death blow to the franchise, as the curse had been trying to kill it off already.
Yes I know, I've mentioned the curse a lot. Do you not believe in curses? That's fine. Neither do I. I do believe in this one, however, and there's enough evidence to suggest it's not merely coincidence. It started out with little things at first, things that could either be made up or just trivial. JoBeth Williams claims her pictures in her house were askew when she returned from the set. The house used for the Freeling home was damanged in an earthquake in 1994, things like that. But other events are more sinister. The prop skeletons were real skeletons, which angered the cast. A set in
Poltergeist III
was destroyed by fire. The mechanical clown in the original malfunctioned and actually choked the actor.
Then there are the deaths.
Oh yes, the
series is known for having an unusually death rate for those who star in it. This what I meant when I said I wouldn't want to be involved with the remake. There are coincidental deaths, such as director Brian Gibson (
The Other Side
) dying of bone cancer in 2004 and a girl who starred in a commercial with Heather O'Rourke being murdered at age 10. While tragic, those can be shrugged off as nothing to do with the movies.
But how can you shrug off the deaths of four major cast members, who all died while the trilogy had yet to be completed? First is Dominique Dunne, who played Carol Anne's sister. She died shortly after the release of the original film, in a very horrific way. She was murdered by her boyfriend, via strangulation. Not only that, but the guy only served two and a half years...for murder! When they made the sequel, this is why she wasn't present. They simply wrote her out and went on.So next two more actors died. Will Sampson, who played Taylor, blessed the set in order to remove alien spirits. In 1987 he died of post-operative kidney failure. He was only fifty-three. Julian Beck, who played the demonic Henry Kane, died in the middle of production due to complications with stomach cancer.
Finally, there was what most consider the most tragic death of the series. During the production of
Poltergeist III
, Heather O'Rourke died at the age of 12 due to septic shock. In case you're wondering, not many people die of septic shock these days. It was believed to have been caused by an acute bowel obstruction. The most random of deaths and the star of the series was taken. Needless to say, this hurt the production of the film severely and they had to alter a good portion of it and film the end with a body double.
So sure, maybe you can still say they were coincidences. But if I were trying to bring back
, well I wouldn't try to bring it back, actually. I wouldn't be surprised if the marketing for a new movie played up the curse and made up "incidents" that occured on set. Curse or no curse, this series had a high death rate. Just something to think about.

Very nice... wished I had access to this diagram about 30 hours ago Your diagram confirms I did mine correctly, woo hoo!Thanks.
I've never seen the plug-in type splitter that you have in your diagram, so it was confusing at first, but I think I have it figured out. Doesn't connect like I thought it would, but if you have it right, it eliminates moving the phone wires.
A plug in type is what I have in my NID here, its a Siecor ADSL POTS Splitter, i forget the model number. But it comes with a plug and socket wire. You plug the plug into the test jack, which brings the raw telephone line directly into the splitter. You plug the wireing blocks wire into the new cable from the splitter. Correct then, you dont have to move the voice wires at all, they remain where they are on the wireing block. The splitter then has the terminals for your DSL circuit, which in this case is the raw phone line (after its going through some fuses in the splitter.)Either way, Im sure there are other styles of splitters out there, but they all do the same thing, block the DSL signal from the voice circuit. (Technically known as a low pass filter.)

Almost 15 Years Later, Hammerhead Returns
By Phil Hunt
Contributing Writer
Even today, it's hard to find a band that that had more impact on the Fargo's punk and indie rock scene.
And other than their label mates, Cows, you'd probably have a hard time finding a band that's more representative of the Amphetamine Reptile aesthetic.
Sure, godheadSilo was a Fargo band that seemed to receive a little more attention. And other bands on the Amphetamine Reptile record label, like Helmet, went on to a major-label deals and some degree of MTV success.
But Hammerhead was most consistent. They were more intense. They always delivered. And they seemed always to be on the road. They also rebuffed the major label offers.
"The interest came from Geffen back in '93 when we were touring with Evil Twin," said Hammerhead's bass player Paul Erickson. "The general consensus was that it seemed to be a lot of non-music crap we didn't feel like dealing with at the time. Had we gotten involved with that whole business we certainly wouldn't have been able to record 'Into the Vortex' in a week, and have it come out two months later. By the time 'Duh, the Big City' came out, major labels had lost most of their interest in the type of music we were doing. Do you not remember the techno scare of '97? Prodigy?"
The trio of Jeff Mooridian, Jr. Paul Erickson and Paul Sanders started out in Fargo. It's a fact that follows them to this day. Even the popular blog, Brooklyn Vegan, called attention to it in a post about their recent NYC reunion.
Reunion, you say? Yes indeed. Amphetamine Reptile (Amrep for short), is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and Hammerhead—disbanded since 1996 or so when guitarist Paul Sanders left the group—got back together for the label's upcoming bash in Minneapolis. Leading up to the show are a few additional dates.
Fargo fans that remember seeing them—or wish they did—are in luck. On August 14, Hammerhead is scheduled to come through their original home town…and perform in the same room they originally used as their practice spot: The Aquarium.
"Fargo was my home for the college, college drop-out days, which is always an interesting period of fun and development," recalls Erickson. "Not only is it where Hammerhead started, but also earlier bands we were in together."
Hammerhead's three LPs were essential for any fan of Minneapolis rock in the 1990s— as are their singles, EP and handful of compilation tracks. If someone mentions Amrep, it's usually only a matter of time before you hear Hammerhead's name, along with other greats like Melvins, Boss Hog, God Bullies, Unsane, Cosmic Psychos or Today is the Day.
Their aggressive racket, filled with nervous, paranoid energy that tramples over you like a rampaging horde of Vikings, possesses all of the qualities that came to define (or rather stereotype) the influential Minneapolis label.
Like the aforementioned godheadSilo, Hammerhead left Fargo in the early '90s. They did it pretty early in the history of their band and quickly made a name for themselves in the Twin Cities. At live shows, it felt and sounded like someone kicked over an amplified hornets' nest. They lumbered across the stage, guitars swinging, and lunged barking into microphones like hoarse, vicious attack dogs. It was something to behold, and something that many fans in Fargo remember vividly.
Then, after their critically hailed album, "Duh, the Big City," guitarist Paul Sanders quit.
"The crazy thing is once in a while seeing a review of 'Duh' where they talked about the new guitarist on the record," said Erickson. "Come on people, Paul's NAME and PICTURE are RIGHT THERE ON THE ALBUM! Some of Sanders' finest guitar work in my opinion."
Mooridian and Erickson tried to keep the band up after Sanders' departure, but it fizzled out after a couple of replacement guitarists.
"I think we convinced ourselves there was an earnest attempt to keep going, Erickson noted. "Mostly we were finishing the job we thought was expected of us. At that time, on our level at least, if you wanted to sell records you had to tour. We only played a couple of dozen shows in '95, and those were mainly to get the 'Duh, the Big City' material worked out. So between the two other guitarists, we ended up playing almost 200 shows in '96. It worked. We ended up selling a lot of records, but of course it was a different animal altogether. One with shorter claws and cleaner fur."
Tiring of this different animal, it was time for something new. "It was hard when Paul wasn't involved anymore, but by the time Jeff and I finally pulled the plug for good we were ready to move on," said Erickson.
Erickson and Mooridian kept their musical partnership and started Vaz, a highly regarded noise duo (and recently a trio with fellow Fargo ex-pat Adam Marx) headquartered in New York. They've dabbled in other projects as well. Sanders released a single with More RAM and played for a while with Heroine Sheiks. Eventually, time healed wounds, hatchets were buried and, contact with Sanders resumed.
"There was a pretty huge gap without much contact," said Erickson, "but we've been in communication on and off for the last couple of years. It wasn't too hard to decide to do it, as the timing felt right for whatever reason."
Erickson said they'd flirted with a reunion once or twice before.
"There were a couple of times when Jeff and I were playing in the same town as Paul (Sanders) was living, and we would float the idea of him playing a song with us. The problem was no one remembered any Hammerhead songs, so we were just going to do a Flipper cover. This disaster was averted due to Paul's work commitments."
As they started up again, Erickson found the process to be second nature, although they weren't exactly in full command.
"There were some fancy-pants parts that were kind of hard to figure out," he said. "But it wasn't too difficult to get back up to speed. It did take some practice just to get the physical part down. Also, none of us had even really listened to that stuff for at least a decade. No surprise. When Jeff and I are at Vaz practice, we practice Vaz. But, if on occasion I would find a bass in my hands at a music store or something, I'd maybe play a few Hammerhead riffs."
Today, Hammerhead is in Never Say Never mode, going ahead with current plans, and even making tentative plans to keep going if they desire. Paul Sanders left a guitar in New York and Erickson has left a bass with Sanders in Minneapolis, "just in case," says Erickson. He also mentioned a planned attempt to record two or three songs before their Fargo reunion, and having a CD-R or two for sale at the show.
Still, these guys have other irons in the fire, and there are no guarantees. And since it's close to 20 years since they left Fargo, you'd better capitalize on their waning affection for our city while there's still time.
"There's some nostalgia about the place, but we don't like to dwell on nostalgia very much. Now that I can't get free liver and onions at Ralph's, the appeal of Fargo-Moorhead is somewhat limited."

Frank's columns about homeowner encroachment on public land in Newport Beach.
His columns on the Coto women who are "The Real Housewives of O.C."
Hard to believe these Orange County judicial races never got covered in the past. In just the week since the last update we've had:
A sitting judge - the county's only Vietnamese American jurist - challenged.
A sitting commissioner pulling papers in two judicial races.
One of the dueling deputy district attorneys dropping out.
Another deputy district attorney canceling a fundraiser because of the possibility he would be either: a) conducting an illegal raffle and/or b) abating a judge who is endorsing him in running afoul of judicial canons.
Add to that the previous stuff over the nonexistent T-Rack endorsements and the surprise entry of a local GOP officer into the mix. And the filing period doesn't even officially start until today!
Let's go to the live action:
Attorney Timothy S. Nguyen has declared his intent to run against Judge Nho Nguyen. This is most puzzling because nobody runs against a sitting judge unless that judge has been involved in some kind of controversy, and Nho Nguyen, as far as I've been able to determine, has not. Perhaps he'd decided to retire and didn't realize that the new O.C. Superior Court rules require him to notify me?
"I have not decided to retire," Judge Nguyen informed me when I reached him in chambers at the Westminster courthouse on Friday afternoon - which relieved me because I'd hate to have to sanction him. "I have no idea," he said, when I asked him why T.S. Nguyen was challenging him. "He appeared before me for about two minutes."
T.S. Nguyen told me he's challenging the judge because "I do not agree with a lot of things he did" during appearances, although he said he didn't want to talk about specifics until after the filing period closes. T.S. Nguyen has been a lawyer since 1996, has sat as a temporary judge on occasion and has most of his experience in civil litigation. Judge Nguyen's background before he took the bench seven years ago was mostly in the state Attorney General's Office, doing medical malpractice prosecutions and defending the state in civil litigation.
West Court also brings us the next item. Commissioner Michael Cassidy has pulled filing papers to run for either the seat now held by Judge James Gray or that held by Judge Dennis Choate, both of whom are retiring. The Gray seat is being contested by deputy district attorneys Mike Flory and Pete Pierce and civil attorneys K.C. Jones and Kermit Marsh. So far, the only name I've heard for the Choate seat is that of Deputy District Attorney Jon Fish.
Cassidy, a former Los Angeles County police officer and an appointed O.C. commissioner since 1997, told me he's leaning toward opposing Fish.
Pierce, however, officially announced Saturday that he must drop out. An officer in the U.S. Army Reserve, he is being called up for 400 days of active duty. He says he might be a candidate in the 2010 judicial elections.
Which brings us to the Fish campaign. One of his strongest supporters is Judge John Adams. He has a Super Bowl party each year, and this year decided to turn it into a $99-a-head fundraiser for Fish.
Fish bought two big-screen TVs for the party, at the conclusion of which they'd be raffled off for $5 a ticket.
They ran into several concerns: Adams is not allowed to solicit money for any candidates other than sitting judges; Fish is not allowed to specifically target his fellow prosecutors for political support; raffles are illegal unless the money goes to certain nonprofits.
District Attorney Tony Rackauckas sent out a memo telling his staff to turn over any mailers it received regarding judicial campaigns because, he said, quoting from a state prosecutor, the "mailers are potentially evidence of a criminal offense."
Fish did several things to try and stay in line with the law, including sending invitations to members of the criminal bar in general, not just prosecutors. He also planned to have raffle proceeds go to a nonprofit, such as the O.C. Bar Association. "But it became a logistical nightmare," he told me Friday, "so it made much more sense to cancel it than to try and make it work."

Conference Centre, British Library
£7.50 / £5 concessions
Britain's first-ever lady detective "Miss Gladden" appeared in The Female Detective published in 1864, where she exposed killers while concealing her own identity. Since then the female sleuth, from Agatha Christie's Miss Maple to Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Ramotswe, has captivated readers of crime fiction, but what is it about the female detective which makes her an icon of the genre? Join a panel of esteemed crime writers for a lively discussion.
N J Cooper (Chair) author of Vengeance in Mind (Simon & Schuster), has also written the Willow King and Trish Maguire series of crime novels. Her Threaded Dances series, set between the Second World War and 1968, is being republished by Bello. When not writing fiction, she reviews for the TLS and has a monthly crime review column on BookOxygen.com. A regular on Radio 4, she has also judged many literary prizes, including the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for thrillers.
Ann Cleeves worked as a probation officer, bird observatory cook and auxiliary coastguard before writing. She is a member of 'Murder Squad', working with other northern writers to promote crime fiction. In 2006 Ann was awarded the Duncan Lawrie Dagger (CWA Gold Dagger, Best Crime Novel) for Raven Black. Her book Red Bones was made into the BBC One drama, Shetland, this year. The second series of ITV's adaptation of Vera starring Brenda Blethyn aired earlier this year.
Historical novelist Lindsey Davis is best known for The Course of Honour, and for her mystery series featuring Roman detective, Marcus Didius Falco. She has also written Rebels and Traitors, an epic novel set in the English Civil War. Awards include CWA Historical Dagger, Dagger in the Library and a Sherlock for Falco as Best Detective and the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement.

Being in Paxi on a hot summer day, in the middle of July is just amazing. For me it is one of the best Greek islands that everyone should visit, an authentic Greek island with peaceful atmosphere and extraordinary beaches, ideal for diving and spending high quality vacation. We were lucky to arrive...

You are given the chance to explore the secret coves of Paxi, the paths with the olive groves and the paved alleys. Paxi is great to explore...

I was lucky enough to travel to Greece and spend my vacation in the wonderful green islands of Paxi and Antipaxi. I stayed at a friend's house in Gaios, the biggest village of Paxi. I had only a week to spend there and my only wish was to see the astonishing beaches that my friend was talking about...

I've been to Paxos twice and I can tell you it's amazing! I've been to lots of Greek islands and this is one of the best. It is just so peaceful, very hot and sunny and great restaurants with delicious Greek salads. The seas are clear and the beaches are clean. There are olive groves and hidden...

We are seasoned visitors to Paxos and go there every year for the last 5 summers. For us, Paxos is the answer to a perfect vacation. A small island of just 19 sq km, its verdant, hilly and unspoilt landscape is a welcome change from some of the other Greek islands where the ravages of package...

It is a pity I didn't know earlier about Paxi. This is a small island only an hour away from Corfu and it impresses you with its colours. Everything is green and blue and you see so many yachts that I doubt if I have seen more even in the busiest Greek islands. The villages of Paxilook much alike...

Sue and I have just returned from Paxos. We enjoyed the island and the people just as much this year as last. The accommodation, pool & car were 1st rate. Prices seem to have risen quite a bit since last year, but all things considered it's still excellent value for money, look forward to returning...

This is one of the purest regions in Greece! You will love the cozy beaches, the crystal water and the green landscape around of Paxi. Villages are nice but look a lot to each other. I didn't find many differences between Gaios and Lakka. But the beaches are awesome! So clean like mirror! Great ...

When I think of Paxi, I have in mind the tiny and gorgeous beaches around the island. I especially remember our trip to Antipaxoi island (there are frequent boats to Antipaxoi from Gaios), I think Voutoumi is of the best beaches in Ionian (along with Kathisma and Porto Katsiki beaches on Lefkada)....

The island is beautiful, calm and traditional. Nightlife is very quite and beaches are quite good, but not as good as in Antipaxi or Corfu. The best beach for me was the first beach on the left on the way from Loggos to Gaios. What you will not miss in Paxi is Greek food, which is always excellent!...

is this even worth reading
[redacted images of AO3 summaries of G-rated gen fics]
In conclusion, fuck everyone who thinks a fic isn't interesting if it doesn't have sex in it, or a pairing, or something triggery that needs a warning. G-rated gen is beautiful. G-rated gen is wonderful. G-rated gen doesn't mean that a fic is safe, padded, comfortable, and is just all pastel colors with no depth. Have you read "Goodnight Room"? There's some nightmare fuel for you.
#whenever I see this kind of attitude I just get so filled with rage #and it's not just because I write G-rated gen #but because it just confirms for me a lot of what I have problems with with fandom #this idea that a relationship is necessary for a story to be good #this idea that sex is necessary for a story to be good #do people not see a problem with that #do people not see how that reflects broader social issues #this concept that lonely = bad and that asexual or not having sex = bad #sure yes I understand that fandom is an escape #and that people have personal preferences with their story reading #but when there's almost this fandom-wide pressure to write slash and porn lest you be shoved off to the sidelines #and your fic considered unworthy or boring without even a moment's consideration #that's what bothers me #there's so much exploration of so many concepts in g-rated gen #backstories #friendships #canonbending #sometimes even exploration of relationships #g-rated gen is an incredibly rich genre #and fuck everyone who just totally ignores it because it doesn't have sex violence gore whatever #on some level I wonder if this is also why people discredit children's shows and children's books #because they're 'tame' and because they're 'boring'#hah #go pick up some children's books and children's shows sometime and REALLY read them #there's some quality subversion and social commentary in a lot of them
Absolutely! My fics rarely have sex in them at all. Usually, the reason they are rated 'T' or 'M', is because they...

India ride on Binny's heroics to beat Bangladesh
Indian bowler Stuart Binny (left) celebrates after winning the second One Day International (ODI) cricket match between India and Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka on June 17, 2014 - by Munir Uz Zaman
Binny, 30, upstaged the efforts of Bangladeshi debutant Taskin Ahmed (5-28) to help India pocket the three-match series with one game still to go on Thursday.
Binny's figures were the best by any Indian bowler in the 50-over game, surpassing Anil Kumble's 6-12 against West Indies in Kolkata in 1993.
Chasing India's modest 105, Bangladesh were cruising at 44-2 but then lost their remaining eight wickets for just 14 runs to be shot out for 58 in 17.4 overs.
The total equalled their worst show in one-dayers, having also scored 58 against the West Indies in the 2011 World Cup.
Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim said the defeat was "shameful".
"I don't have an explanation. All I can say is that we had a very good opportunity (to win)... I apologise to the nation on behalf of the team," he said.
"Nothing can be worse than this, I didn't expect such poor cricket from my team."
Binny, playing in only his third one-day international, was well supported by medium pacer Mohit Sharma who finished with an impressive 4-22.
"I thought we needed to score 180 at least but the way Stuart Binny and Mohit Sharma bowled, it was unbelievable," Indian captain Suresh Raina said.
"I knew I have to keep faith in my bowlers."
Mithun Ali was the lone Bangladesh batsman to offer some resistance, making 26 off 39 balls.
India were earlier bowled out for 105 in 25.3 overs, their lowest against Bangladesh in ODIs, after being put in to bat in overcast conditions at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.
The day-night clash was reduced to 41-overs-a-side with heavy rains holding up the game for more than two hours early during the Indian innings.
The 19-year-old Taskin was the star performer for the hosts, picking a five-wicket haul on debut -- the best figures by any first-time Bangladesh bowler.
Taskin wreaked havoc with his seam and bounce, dismissing Robin Uthappa (14), Cheteshwar Pujara (11) and Ambati Rayudu (1) in his fiery first spell.
He picked his first international wicket when opener Robin Uthappa, who made a fine half-century in the opening game, top-edged the paceman to mid-off where Ziaur Rahman took an easy catch.
The bowler had the visitors reeling at 55-4 after he sent back Rayudu and Pujara in the 14th over.
Raina fought back briefly, making 27 off 23 balls with three fours when he was run out as he tried to go for a second run.
Only four batsmen managed to score in double figures with India crashing to their worst total against Bangladesh in one-dayers.
Taskin returned in his second spell to send back Binny and Amit Mishra in a space of five balls.
His effort bettered that of off-spinner Sohag Gazi who had taken 4-29 against West Indies in 2012.

GOODING, Idaho • Jordan Oneida Orozco slowly approached the horse warming itself in the late afternoon sun, its head hung low, eyes draped by long lashes. He started to slip a purple rope halter over its nose, but the horse turned away and the rope went limp.
Jordan might not have known it, but this simple task revealed a great deal to trained observers. Did he ask for help? Do family members try to fix his problem? If so, what were the dynamics?
This was the first of his 16 sessions with Idaho Horse Therapy Inc.
Jordan smiled shyly and fiddled with the rope, not quite making sense of the loops, before equine specialist Johnny Urrutia stepped in to lend advice.
"He was really worried and scared," Urrutia later noted. "He was afraid of making a mistake. He asked, 'Is it going to hurt?' He was already planning on getting hurt."
On paper, the 13-year-old appeared to be a violent, troubled child: On probation a second time, now with three charges and one pending. Hospitalized twice and medicated since age 5. In counseling for years.
"I've literally tried everything," said his mother, Lacey Oneida, from classes for parents with angry children and those with mental illnesses to reading "The Explosive Child."
"I did everything that people suggested to me. I literally took everything from him, including his clothes, his bed ... he had to earn it back. Four months ago, he got (accused of) attempted arson, and I took everything away."
Nothing worked until Jordan started weekly visits to Urrutia's ranch between Gooding and Shoshone.
Equine therapy is the best thing that has happened to him, Oneida said, largely because he is with a positive male role model.
Urrutia "treats him like a human, like a little man. He lets Jordan find the solution and doesn't tell him, 'That's wrong.'"
When Jordan complained that his arm was tired from holding the rope, Urrutia had him do 10 pushups before each session to build his strength.
When the boy wouldn't make eye contact while Urrutia was explaining something, Urrutia stopped talking until he did.
And for an hour or so each week over the past five months, Jordan not only learned how to work and care for a horse, but also got to interact with a good man and gain confidence in equine therapy and in himself.
In the arena, Jordan was quiet and timid, even when the horse wouldn't back up because it had fallen asleep. It might have been because his trigger points hadn't been pushed yet or because rather than being corrected, he was guided by Urrutia's gentle voice.
"Where are you looking?" Urrutia asked, leaning against a green gate.
Jordan's goal was to get the horse to walk backwards to the rear of the barn. He applied a little pressure to the halter, pushing forward slightly with his left leg, and the horse stepped back.
"There you go, you're doing good, relaxing, keep it right there," Urrutia said. "Nice you're recognizing that he's starting to move. Keep focused."
Jordan said, "It's easier to just turn a horse around."
Urrutia grinned and replied, "Of course it is, but a horse can't see behind them."
The point was never to get the horse to the back of the barn. It was to get the horse to trust Jordan.
"The horse is doing all the work," said Urrutia's wife, fellow equine specialist Karla Davis. "Our role is, as facilitators for the horse, to teach them. The horse is going to treat Jordan how Jordan treats the horse. The horse only exists in this moment. Everything Jordan does, they are going to react to it. Our role is to watch the horse and the horse's reaction and hope learning follows."
Clinician Melody Kerner still remembers the first time she considered using horses as therapy. A depressed girl sat slumped in the rocking chair by her desk, struggling with memories of sexual abuse. She suddenly perked up as images of horses flashed across Kerner's computer screen. It didn't take Kerner long to find Urrutia.
Urrutia doesn't remember a time when he wasn't on the back of a horse.
After graduating from Shoshone High School in 1971, he attended Idaho State University on a track scholarship.
He got a math degree and became a high school teacher. But other skills and talents took him from Idaho for many years.
"My favorite part of teaching was the counseling," Urrutia said. "I didn't leave teaching because I didn't like it. I loved it."
While teaching, Urrutia competed in local rodeos and eventually hit the professional rodeo circuit.
Then, in 1983, he started a country music career, producing 10 albums and six top-10 songs in Europe. For 15 years, Urrutia toured the nation 300 days a year. Finally he decided to come home and combine his love of horses and desire to help youth.
Urrutia is a Level II equine specialist certified through Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA), an equine-assisted psychotherapy service founded in 1999.
"It's not what we obtain in life, it's what we become doing so," he said. "And if I ever got back into teaching, counseling, I'd have more to offer because of EAGALA."
Kerner, a clinician with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, started working with Urrutia and Idaho Horse Therapy in March 2012. She works with children from Twin Falls and Blaine counties and is known as the local clinician who prescribes equine therapy.
"Some kids don't want to sit across and talk to a therapist," Kerner said. "I've rode horses all my life. When I've had a very stressful day at work, I like spending time with my horse. And that's what I see happening with the kids."
An hour-long equine therapy session costs $60 per child. Participants are on probation and have had a mental health assessment. The probation officer for the girl or boy applies for the program through the Department of Juvenile Corrections, which pays for the service.
"All of us have kids on our caseload, and we are always coming up with ideas, things in the community that can help them," Kerner said. "We have a lot of kids on probation. And though court has them in required therapy, equine therapy ... puts them in a whole different realm and opens them up to new types of learning."
A child who hasn't been around horses has an advantage because the idea is to get him out of his comfort zone and improve self-esteem.
"A horse has the power to go forward and backwards, but not to go sideways. When he wiggles his head, when you let go, you reward him," Urrutia told an equine therapy youth group recently at the Twin Falls Country Fairgrounds.
Urrutia then explained the underlying lesson.
He asked a boy his usual response when asked to mow the lawn. Did he whine and pout? Sometimes.
"Same thing with the horse. If the horse disrespects you and you let it, then it learns how to whine and pout to get what it wants."
How do you get people or the horse to listen?
"Any association you have with people, if you do it out of respect, it will last a lot longer. If you do it using fear, one day when your back is turned, he'll get you," Urrutia said. "Hold your ground, breathe, good energy. They (horses) sense fear or anger better than you."
Lars Langdon, 18, brought a camera to that group session. He "graduated" from the program last year but came to take photographs for his senior project at Filer High School. His project is about the equine therapy program.
"It's really different," Langdon said, "and it helps more than people think. It's a really good metaphor for relating to life."
Before the program, he said, he was reserved and introverted. Now he is outgoing and vocal. He liked the program so much, he even bought a horse.
Brandon Davidson, 16, of Filer, has been on probation since he was 9. A court ordered him into equine therapy more than a year ago. Brandon isn't required to attend now, but he still does because, he said, it's the only thing that has helped him.
"I've sat through thousands of hours with counselors. It's not like you're sitting with a counselor. You are working with a horse that has problems just like you do," he said. "It benefits your spiritual side and thinking. I take pride in it."
The horse-human partnership was important, Brandon said, but so was his close relationship with Urrutia.
"He's the best person I've met. He's not out for the money or like counselors waiting for the next client. He's very down-to-earth."
Brandon said he also returns each month to serve as a role model for younger participants. "When I help another person, it helps me too," he said.
Before equine therapy, he said, he used and sold drugs. Now he has a new purpose in life.
"I have a lot of bridges to rebuild in Filer and Twin Falls. I want people to know Brandon has made a stand and he's doing something. I'm doing the right things for the right reasons."
Oneida sat on a couch in her Shoshone home last month, hemming a pair of jeans into shorts. Jordan sat nearby, watching television. Framed photographs covered the walls. One poster listed House Rules: Hug often, respect others, do your best and never give up.
In four days, Jordan would learn whether he would be approved for more horse therapy after his 16 sessions. Even if he isn't, Urrutia wants him to keep coming. He has decided to make Jordan a mentor at the group sessions.
"He knows the basics. He's really calm and has such a knack for it," Urrutia said.
Jordan's math skills have progressed along with his horse skills. Each week, Urrutia incorporated a little math lesson, having Jordan learn and recite the multiples of twos, threes and fours.
"There was a time he couldn't count by twos," Urrutia said.
But Jordan learned them all, and his reward was getting to ride the horse. That isn't part of the EAGALA model, but it was something Jordan wanted to do. And when he finally was able to ride the horse, his smile was wide.
"He was just tickled he had some success," Urrutia said. "I don't think he's gotten to think about being successful much."
Jordan recently was named student of the week at his alternative school and can transition into regular public school if he completes summer classes.
"I've gotten a lot of compliments from people in the community," Oneida said, "that they saw Jordan on the street and he was polite and talked to them. Before, he gave them the cold shoulder. He's a good kid and has a good personality. He's just misunderstood."
"I'm more mature I guess," Jordan said, looking up and smiling. "I just like the horses and stuff."
When he learned that his sessions were finished, he said, he was "bummed out and not very happy."
Besides the horses, he has built a relationship with Urrutia. "He's just really nice and knows how to work with me."
His goals always have included joining the Air Force, and today that goal seemed a little closer.
"They pay good, they pay for college and I want to fly," he said.
As for his relationship with his mother? They are working on it. They still have disagreements. He recently said something really hurtful, and Oneida couldn't talk to him for three days. She acknowledged that in the past, Jordan sometimes became so difficult that Oneida said she hated him. But no matter what, she never gave up on him. And at every one-on-one session Jordan attended, Oneida was right there beside him.
"If we had more parents like Lacey, that could really take the program to a whole other level," Urrutia said.
And though she sat on the sidelines — quiet and non-participatory most of the time — Oneida said she learned a great deal as well.
"Ninety percent of these kids have issues at school, but it starts at home," she said. "The parents see it in the first five sessions. I realized I was a big guard. I'm always to the rescue. The parents can't jump in and tell them how to do it. I had to keep my mouth shut."
She also learned that a child, like a horse, can't be forced to do something. "You can ask, but you can't force."
As the two rode somewhere recently, Oneida said, Jordan turned to her and said: "If you died, I'd probably go crazy or be in jail."
It was the first time he'd ever said something like that to her.
Oneida said Urrutia and Davis should open a boys ranch to keep children busy during summers.
"This area needs a lot more people helping. It needs a lot of more Johnnys and Karlas,"Oneida said.
And a few days later, Jordan found out he was approved for more sessions.

One of the continual criticisms of California's medical marijuana system is that each city or county can set their own regulations for growing and selling pot, but state Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, thinks he's come up with a solution to that. Ammiano has written a bill – AB473 — that would set up a agency […] [Read More]
Occupy spirit flares with protests
By Kevin Fagan Just days after the dismantlement of the last tent encampment in San Francisco that billed itself as part of the Occupy movement, several groups pushed on with protests against economic inequality this week. On Tuesday, a cluster of groups including the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) and Occupy Bernal demonstrated […] [Read More]
Israeli president Peres charms youth at SF synagogue
By Kevin Fagan You'd have thought from the reaction of the young folks at Israeli President Shimon Peres' visit to Congregation Emanu-El Tuesday night that the white-haired guy at the podium was a teen idol of some sort — not, at 88, the oldest national leader in the world.

Poor, working class rallying Friday in S.F.
The ripples of anger over the debt-ceiling deal passed by Congress this week will roll into San Francisco Friday with a protest march through the Financial District. The Western Regional Advocacy Project, a nonprofit group for homeless and low-income causes, will gather demonstrators at 4 p.m. in Union Square for what it is billing as […] [Read More]
San Francisco to get veterans vouchers after all
After months of nail biting and table-pounding, advocates for homeless veterans scored a victory of sorts this week — San Francisco will be getting housing vouchers after all. Not a complete victory, mind you. It's more like one of those better-than-a-poke-in-the-eye kind of victories. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., had been leading the fight since March […] [Read More]
Brian Willson, peace protester, hand-cycles into Bay Area
By Kevin Fagan Longtime peace protester Brian Willson has a new autobiography to push — "Blood on the Tracks" — and he's taken himself on the road for a book tour – on three wheels. Hand-cranked tricycle wheels, that is. Willson is doing his tour by hand-cycling his way from his home in Portland, Ore., […] [Read More]
Barbara Boxer rips proposed cuts to homeless vets housing
By Kevin Fagan Never one to mince words, U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer had many choice ones today for the Republican plan in Congress to eliminate housing aid to homeless military veterans nationwide. None were complimentary. Among them were "ridiculous" and "mean-spirited." The blazing look in her eyes as she spoke to reporters at mid-day news […] [Read More]

Mario Vargas Llosa; Translated by Edith Grossman
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
I LEARNED TO READ AT THE AGE OF FIVE, in Brother Justiniano's class at the De la Salle Academy in Cochabamba, Bolivia. It is the most important thing that has ever happened to me. Almost seventy years later, I remember clearly how the magic of translating the words in books into images enriched my life, breaking the barriers of time and space and allowing me to travel with Captain Nemo twenty thousand leagues under the sea, fight with d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis against the intrigues threatening the queen in the days of
