Our recent busy stretch at the SMS continues tonight with some more news and notes, so what's on tap? Along with some updates to the layout of the site in recent days, we also have some new audio tracks to share from some heavier local projects, but first, here's a LOCAL CONCERT ALERT for a very familiar band's return next month!
40 Sons will return to The Rockstar Bar on April 5th for their second local concert in just over a month! I've heard fantastic things about their sound, energy, and professionalism from their show on Thursday, and this is an awesome bonus to add to the end of their Hurricane tour on their way back from Manitoba! Such a quick turnaround isn't entirely new for 40 Sons' local dates either, as they played Coch's Corner gigs 3 months apart in late 2009 & early 2010. Beyond the Friday placement, there will be one extra difference on April 5th: a local opening band, as hard rock quartet The Suicide Kings will play their first (likely) Rockstar Bar gig in 2013 to open for 40 Sons! Their first non-headlining gig since Toystock, their mix of hard rock originals and varied covers should lend itself really well for this show next month, and it'll be great to see them back at it! Like their show here on Thursday, the April 5th 40 Sons gig has no cover charge, a 19+ age limit, and a 10:00 PM start time. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page!
I think I'll have to swing by The Rockstar Bar on April 5th to check out the action, especially with all the positive buzz from last week! Hopefully both bands are awesome, and check the above links for more details!
Next up, here's the latest updates from local grunge band Haggith and their drummer Mike Haggith's solo project! Both have uploaded some new studio material onto their respective Facebook pages, including this new Facebook video of Mike Haggith's solo original "Drown" (well, an instrumental mix of it), as to be featured on his forthcoming 46th solo album "The Present Din". Without giving anything away, the song is softer like his indications of the album's overall sound, but it does build late. I fully expect to review this album later this year upon it's release (maybe in the summer?), but for now, give the "Drown" demo a listen at this location! As a Facebook video, I can't embed it here, but this I can, an audio recording of the Haggith band's original song "Loverbeam" from their upcoming album "Deuce"! Wrote by singer/guitarist Curtis McKenzie's brother/old bandmate Travis, it's a 2 minute original from the guys (minus bassist Caleb Cachagee for unknown reasons), as uploaded to their YouTube channel on Friday.
Fans of Haggith's earlier hard rock/grunge material should enjoy this short rocker, so check out Haggith's new studio track (recorded at PaperClip Productions) below, and stay tuned soon for more news and notes from (Mike) Haggith as it rolls in!
Also in new audio tracks on YouTube, newer Sault Ontario goregrind project Crucify The Whore uploaded a new song named "Fisting Your Nephew" onto label Blood Shed Productions' YouTube channel on Saturday! Off of their newest demo "Fetel Pig Dissection", it has a fuller & heavier sound than their past originals that I've heard (despite it's 64 second length), but the pig squeal & grunt vocals are still an acquired taste. Note that due to some of the imagery on the demo's cover art (including a dissected pig, a'la the demo title), I've embedded just the audio here, but you can still click through to see the full video if you want. Though I'm not offended personally, I don't want to risk offending any readers who may be sensitive to some of the imagery, but no offense is meant to Crucify the Whore or Blood Shed Productions! I appreciate what they're doing and respect their stances on their music and artwork, and if you're up for some new local grind/gore music, check out C.T.W.'s new song below!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for more news in the next few days as we continue a busy stretch to lead off the month of March! Thanks everyone!

It's Marcellus Knicely here. I just wanted to share my thoughts and practical lesson I'm learning currently through the practices of accepting things for the way they are. For example, I am a ENGLISH teacher that have taught all over the country. So, in 2016 I decided to advance my searches to teaching in a different country. I decided to find a recruiter to be able to help me interview for quality jobs out there since I read about different scams and such that may go on internationally.
I was able to find a seemingly great recruiter and by June 2016, I was preparing to go teach in China in August. However, things didn't work out as planned. I had a last minute conversation with my manager about how the students may actually cry from seeing my Dark Skin.
Well safe to say, I decided to turn the job…

England's Four Champions League Representatives – Who Can Go All The Way?
The Premier League is trying to re-establish its dominance in the Champions League this year and have a good chance of doing so with four teams going for it.
The Premier League is trying to re-establish its dominance in the UEFA Champions League this year and have a good chance of doing so with four teams all heading towards the knockout stages of the competition for the first time in some years.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are among the favorites at bookmakers such as SportsBettingDime.com to lift the much-coveted trophy this year. In seven of the last nine finals there has been an English side contesting the final. The last one to win the trophy was Chelsea in 2011, when they defeated Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout at the Allianz Arena.
All four teams currently sit top of their respective groups as we head into the last two games, so it looks odds on that they will progress to the next phase. Arsenal's position is arguably the most perilous as they have a tough group that includes Napoli, Borussia Dortmund and Marseille. With a trip to Italy on Matchday 6, Arsene Wenger will hope results go his way in the next round of games and his side can seal qualification with a game to spare, but there is still the chance that 12 points might not be enough for the north Londoners, which is truly unbelievable.
After ten games, Arsenal remain top of the Premier League thanks to nine consecutive games without loss, but they were eliminated from the Capital One Cup by Chelsea, who are hot on their tails in the league. Jose Mourinho's side beat Schalke on Wednesday 3-0 to move ever closer to sealing qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League and who would bet against 'The Special One' lifting the cup with a third team?
Manchester United are off the pace in the Premiership as they slowly adapt to life under David Moyes. The Red Devils occupy eighth spot and are nine points adrift of the leaders so have it all to do to retain their trophy. However, they are sitting top of Group A in Europe and could seal qualification with a win next time out, and United could be a dangerous outfit in the last 16 should they make it.
Manchester City have already made it through to the next phase for the first time in their history with an impressive win over CSKA Moscow, and the Sky Blues will be looking to go all the way under new boss Manuel Pellegrini.
So out of the four English representatives, who has the best chance of winning the Champions League? We'll leave they to you to decide!

Chelsea will definitely win the league and the champions league as well… belief me sincerely!!! Im saying it emphatically…
Its a difficult one this season but it looks like Arsenal they can lift the Champions League and EPL

|M.Sc Student

|Management Style of High School principals with Experience
in the High-tech industry
|Department of Education in Science and Technology
|Professor Orit Hazzan
|Full Thesis text - in Hebrew
The role of school principal is to improve the education and learning of all students in the school. The range of topics dealt by the principal is wide: from student needs, teachers' requests, parents' communication, and onward, to pedagogical and budgetary issues.
This role designs the school culture and the behavior of teachers and students. One of the key measures for school principal is the success in matriculation exams in general, and specifically, the percentage of Matriculation Certificate holders.
School management role was previously questioned while addressing organizational capacity. The purpose of the present research was to examine the management style of high-school principals, who previously worked in the high-tech industry.
The research questions are:
• What are the management characteristics of school principals who worked previously in the high-tech industry?
• Are the knowledge and experience acquired by the principals, while working in the high-tech industry, reflected in their management style? If yes - how?
Although the research focused on the management style of school principals, the research findings can be adapted, partially, also for principals who worked in the past in other, non-high-tech organizations.
The data was collected by:
• Interviews with a wide range of education system personnel, who have working relations with the principals: teachers, school administrators, supervisors, vice-principals, education department managers and managers of education school for principals.
• Observations of principals during various activities in the schools.
• Formal documents specifically related to those principals who participated in the research.
The research focused on five principals of schools of 800-4,000 students and school staff raging between 100 to 400 teachers.
The major finding shows that those principals conduct some projects by applying the "diamond" model which consists of four major aspects: scope, resources, schedule and quality, while scope is the only aspect which can be adjusted during the project life-cycle to maintain quality, resources and schedule. Two kinds of projects using the diamond model, are presented: "pedagogical projects" and "organizational projects".
The findings are organized in three categories:
• Pedagogical section which includes characteristics, like measuring results of extensive learning process versus no-measurement, importance of learning engineering scientific classes, PBL usage, and teaching using technology related equipment.
• Organizational section presenting characteristics like leadership, creativity, innovation, teamwork, less focus on pedagogical-projects, and communication with students' parents.
• Transition from the high-tech industry to education: less experience in pedagogy, wrong estimation of bureaucracy, confrontation with teachers, learning process during the first year of school management and the focus on small number of targets.
The research has both theoretical and practical contributions:
Theoretically, it contributes to the understanding of how the professional background of school principals may shape the management style of the school and the achievements of its students. Practically, it can be used for shaping training and professional development programs for school principals.
The research findings could be used by district administrators and inspectors from the Ministry of Education while examining high-tech industry candidates for management positions. Another contribution is for high-tech industry professionals considering their career in the education system.

Ho Chi Minh City always creates good conditions for the Vietnam National University (VNU), Ho Chi Minh City and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to cooperate in post-graduate training and medicine research.
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). (Photo: usnews.com)
Vice Chairwoman of the municipal People's Committee Nguyen Thi Thu made the statement at a reception on September 12 for UCLA vice chancellor Scott Waugh. Waugh is attending the third International Conference on Innovations in Cancer Research and Regenerative Medicine held by the VNU, HCM City and UCLA in Ho Chi Minh City.
Thu lauded the cooperation between the two universities, particularly in molecular structure study and the establishment of Centre for Molecular and Nano Architecture (MANAR) in the VNU, HCM City in 2011. She expressed her hope that UCLA will continue to strengthen collaboration with HCM City in research and training.
Meanwhile, vice chancellor Waugh said that cooperation between the two universities has brought practical benefits to both sides and to relations between Vietnam and the US.
Established in 1919, UCLA is one of the world's leading scientific research universities. The university has worked with the VNU and HCM City to carry out molecular biology research, biochemistry and cancer research.
MANAR was set up by both universities to promote research on the structure and size of molecules and nanoparticles, the application of advanced technology in basic research and innovation in material production for green technology.

mary rose museum, portsmouth
An innovative museum permanently housing the hull of Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, and recreating the wreck of the ship's missing side. The boat-shaped museum is clad in black timber planks, reflecting the structure of the original ship. Timber is inscribed with carvings traditionally used by the crew to identify their personal belongings.
fabrik proposals set the contemporary museum within an appropriately restored historic dockland and its numerous Grade I and II* listed buildings, adjacent to HMS Victory. A minimal palette of hard materials has been used to create a sense of drama on the approach to the building.

7 new guided walks to help improve your day
No matter what kind of day you're having, going for a walk has been shown to help.
I always thought motivation came in the form of inspiration. But when you hit fitness plateaus (or just the cold weather blues), it can be really challenging to lace up and get out the door.
But what does meditation have to do with inspiration and motivation? Turns out, more than we thought. Listen below for how the Sport Motivation meditations surprised us and got us motivated to do more than just go for a jog.

Same, same but different? A comparative cultural political economy analysis of educational responses to the Syrian crisis - Bristol Conversations in Education
Ritesh Shah
Room 4.05/06, School of Education, 35 Berkeley Square, Bristol, BS8 1JA
This event is part of the School of Education's 'Bristol Conversations in Education' seminar series.
Speaker: Ritesh Shah
Since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, over seven million refugees have fled out of the country. The majority are currently being hosted in the neighbouring countries of Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. From the outset, the receptivity to hosting, integrating, and resettling refugees in these countries has varied, as has the shape, form, function, and purpose of education services that have been provided to this population. In this presentation I seek to critically interrogate the factors that have driven and guided this varied response in each of these countries.
In doing so, I draw on recent work done by Robertson and Dale (2015), to demonstrate how using a cultural political economy of education approach (CCPEE), the "education ensemble" of the Syrian refugee crisis and response can be cracked open to unpack the variety of competing notions of education's role and function for Syrian refugees in the cultural, political, and economic development of global, regional, national, and sub-national projects. In doing so, the analysis seeks to reveal, rather than hide the complex interplay between education provision for Syrian refugees and the structures and institutions which operate at multiple scales in such contexts. I explore how issues of legitimacy and sovereignty are particularly resonant for these three nations in light of historical and current political, social, and economic pressures internal and external to the nation-state itself. Through close scrutiny of the fashion in which the education (and wider geo-political) response has been coordinated, funded, regulated and owned since the start of the crisis, I contend that a cohesive, singular regional response to the millions of Syrians seeking educational opportunity in neighbouring countries has been an illusion at best, and a deception at worst.

"The message matters, my brother." Prince Rogers Nelson (Notorious; Issue #4, p.88)
The eulogies are pouring in as one of the greatest musical innovators of our time has taken his final bow. Bands around the world are playing tributes, artists and program hosts are granting interviews or opening shows lauding his talent and influence with praises befitting a messiah, and Saturday Night Live redesigned the entire show yesterday (4/23/16) to be a commemoration of his life and performances. A senator from the Purple Rain's star's home state—Minnesota—has even introduced a bill to make the hue the official color of the state.
Ironically, perhaps his only equal when it comes to moving the needle on the proverbial phonograph of pop culture—David Bowie—also shocked the world with his untimely death just over three months ago.
First, credit where credit is due: Prince's talent was immense. Because of the spirit and the themes of his music and persona, I was never a fan. Quite the opposite—I produced a number of documentaries dusting pop music for the fingerprints of evil spiritual influences and always found Prince to be a fertile source of evidence. Nevertheless, as a writer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, performer, innovator, cross-musical-style virtuoso, impresario and champion for the artist and the art in an often corrupt industry, Prince may have no living peer.
From an eternal perspective, however, his life and talent are also are also a cautionary tale as to where genius can lead when untethered from the "ancient paths" (Jer. 6:15-16) and left to pursue a combination of eroticism, a "follow-your-heart" brand of spirituality and a fascination with speculative, apocalyptic, "Biblical" (so-called) prophecy.
Raised a Seventh Day Adventist, Prince Rogers Nelson was—to use Flannery O'Connor's useful phrase—ever the "Christ-haunted" artist. Imagery from the Bible, particularly the books of Genesis and Revelation, were frequent themes in his music. The problem is that he merged them with his other primary—at least for the first and most influential half of his career—channel of spiritual/mystical enlightenment: a form of sex magic that would have made the Great Beast, Aleister Crowley, proud. I won't take the time or defile the reader by quoting lyrics or linking to videos documenting his many debaucheries. They are legion. And legendary.
Another destructive aspect of the sexualized world he fashioned with his lyrics, concerts and persona was the manner in which it rabidly set out to destroy the "male and female He made them" (Gen. 1:27) binary that God wove into the fabric of human ontology in relation to our capacity and call to image our Creator.
Quoting, for example, a Washington Post article describing Prince's impact on fashion:
"With his frilly shirts and velvet suits, his brocades and silks, Prince played with gender stereotypes and moved us to reconsider our relationship to our own sexuality. He used fashion as an aphrodisiac. It was foreplay and after-glow — and the divinely sweaty middle."
In his song Controversy he asked, "Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay?" On 1984's I Would Die 4 U, he sang back, "I'm not a woman, I'm not a man, I am something that you'll never understand."
Again, the Post:
"He was issuing bold challenges to how our society thought about…sexual identity, and he made it feel absolutely ecstatic."
Using the classical, Greek definition of the word—that is "entrancement, insanity; any displacement or removal from the proper place"—a state of "ecstasy" is precisely what he helped Western culture attain. Less than a generation after Prince—and David Bowie—began to fly their androgynous, ambi-sexual freak-flags high, a majority of their audience has seen their worldview concerning gender and human sexuality turned on its head.
Another area of concern were his not infrequent professions of love and respect—even devotion—to the person and ministry of Christ. "What's wrong with that?" some will say. "Isn't that a good thing?" Well, not when they are juxtaposed against the celebration of the very sins that Jesus came and died to atone for and from which to set us free.
Take, for example, what may be his most straight-up Christian song, The Cross. Lyrically and musically? A lot of CCM artists should do as well. The problem lies in its context. On the album in which it appears, Sign o' the Times, The Cross is nestled in with fifteen other songs, many of which celebrate fornication.
When Prince toured to support the album, The Cross (at times rephrased as The Christ) stood out as the spiritual high-water mark of the concert. Introduced with references to "the greatest man who ever lived" and backed with a gospel choir, he performed the song reverently and gave every impression of really believing in what he was singing about. And I'm not doubting that on some level he did. But then in the next breath, he would segue to a another song from the album like "U Got the Look," featuring some scantily clad female singer (often Sheena Easton) that Prince would proceed to seduce on stage, thrusting his hips while singing "If love is good, let's get to rammin'."
This type of cognitive dissonance was something Prince raised to a sick art form. And only God knows the extent to which his audience was seduced into what may well be the single greatest spiritual problem among "Jesus-loving" theists today: that mental assent to His Godhood, atoning death and resurrection is all that is necessary to be a Christian and go to heaven…that obedience to His teachings—particularly in regard to sex and gender—is optional.
Prince certainly seemed to indicate it was.
In fairness, it's reported that around 2000—right after partying like it was 1999—he became much more serious about his faith and began to tone things down, even renouncing some of his earlier lyrics and antics. (Sadly, this was brought about, in part, by his becoming a member of the quasi-Christian, anti-Trinitarian Jehovah's Witness cult.) And since then he has periodically used his platform as a mega-star to share cautionary advice about the misuse of language, sex, intoxicants—among other things—as well as the need to embrace virtue, love and God.
For this we should be thankful.
But even then, the dissonance continued to flow. In 2007, he appeared before a live audience of 140 million people during the Super Bowl and put on what many consider the greatest halftime show ever. But he still couldn't resist using a prop he employed to much effect two decades before. Back during the 1980's Purple Rain tour he performed with a guitar that would ejaculate, squirting water out of its end during the climax of "Let's Go Crazy." Same guitar, but he did away with the ejaculatory feature for his Super Bowl performance of the song. But still the large, flowing beige sheet was brought out so that the shadow portion of the routine lived on.
And the message remained clear.
Since Prince's death last Thursday, I have read and listened to a lot of tributes to his life and "ministry." (All art is spiritual; a lifting of the curtain to see what, if anything, lies behind mere appearances. And the artist's job is to minister what he or she sees to their audience. Prince understood this better than most.) The overwhelming chorus? Prince encouraged me to be true to myself. To follow my heart…push boundaries…to be proud and let my freak flag fly. To, as President Obama gushed in tribute, be a "strong spirit (that) transcends rules."
To which the Prince of Peace Prince claimed to love and follow would declare:
"If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Matthew 16:24,25
As His Purpleness has gone to appear before the One who both declared and then lived and died for the nearly opposite worldview Prince's followers have gleaned from his life and music, I pray that by God's grace he didn't, as his chorus plead, "die without knowing the cross." And that neither do his acolytes.

Information technology has evolved at a breakneck pace over the past decade or so and it is no wonder that many of the tech giants of the past may no longer be as influential as they used to be. When it comes to personal computers and laptops, Dell still remains one of the leading names in the world; however, the company's Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell has claimed that the company is much more than merely a PC maker. During the course of an interview with CNBC, Michael Dell laid out his vision for the present and future of the company. He said that the company is now trying to help corporations grapple with the issue of adaptation when it comes to technological advancements. Considering the sort of acquisitions from Dell in the recent past, it does not look like corporate speak. Some of the more significant acquisitions include Pivotal Software and VMware among others.
Dell said, "[We] really have positioned ourselves as a company that can help our customers with the digital transformation: their journey to the cloud, and modernizing their IT environments, their workforce environment, and also IT security." It is also worthwhile to note that Dell has ramped up its cloud computing business significantly in recent years and although it is not yet competing with Amazon Web Services, the company is in the right direction. The cloud computing business brought in revenues of around $40 billion last year, which reflects a handsome growth of 19% from the previous year. In addition to that, the company brought in record revenues of $91 billion in total in 2018.
However, that is not all. The company is investing heavily in research and development, and over the past half a decade, they have poured in $20 billion towards that endeavour. Dell, however, was quick to point out that the advent of new age technology like artificial intelligence could leave some people behind and it is the company's motto to ensure that it does not happen. The Dell CEO also stated that huge changes are coming in the tech sector in the next decade and he remains optimistic that it will be a good thing. He said, "I am a huge optimist that technology will do far more good than bad. It's addressing all kinds of opportunities in health care, in education, in sustainability, the environment. Certainly, businesses are becoming more productive and more effective, and ultimately technology is about enabling human potential."

Loafing Christmas present ideas
Posted November 29th, 2013
I've already got a sweaty top lip at the thought of trying to find all my family the right Christmas presents this year. But things are a little easier now that we've got loads of Crimbo corkers here at Loaf.
I gave my sisters one of our lovely lamps and mirrors last year (and yes, I did pay for it!). And I'm thinking our squishy Loaf cushions and pouffes, snuggly bed linen, blankets or rugs might make an appearance under their trees this year.
Have a look here to see what's going down.

Tips for Attracting Women
Before you check out the video above, here's my take on attracting girls.
I guess, if you're reading this you are either a perfectionist and want to know everything there is to know about women and how to lure them and hold them. Or, you are not yet a success in the dating department.
Either way, women are women. It doesn't matter whether we are 20 or 30 years of age – we are essentially the same. Most women don't fall in love at the drop of a hat. There are things we like and there are things that will turn off a percentage of ladies – the question is how many. Maybe you've been playing a game of chance and experimenting too much – adopting this persona and then another persona.
Well, that is not going to work – unless you are a Gemini or a Pisces, of course. Both these star signs do have multiple sides to them and anyone you attract will eventually find this out anyway, So, you may as well be yourself, upfront.
Anyway, forget the airs and graces and puffed out chests. It its not you – don't go there. Women don'w want fake. We know too much; we're too switched on to be fooled by shams. Do yourself a favor and be genuine.
To Attract Women – Be Attractive First
If you don't like who you are – well that's a different matter. And, here Im talking about the essence of who you are – not the front you put onto the world.
Guys, if you are desperate enough to pretend to be who you aren't get some help! If even you don't like yourself, how can you expect women to fall for you. Get real!
Ask a few mates; ask your sister even – she'll tell you straight up. Ask them what they think of you – with and without the 'front'. If you value their opinion, then listen to it. If you don't, go back to trusting your gut instinct.
If you feel you have to fake it – you know what – you'll never make it. Well, not make it, in the sense of maximising your potential with women, anyway.
Now you can watch the video and get a second take on attracting women!

Women's British Open: Hinako Shibuno claims stunning win in her first major
Japan's Hinako Shibuno birdied the last hole to clinch a stunning win in the Women's British Open at Woburn.
Shibuno, 20, led by two shots overnight but was soon caught by USA's Lizette Salas in a thrilling final round.
Salas fired the week's lowest round - a seven-under-par 65 - but Shibuno had five birdies on the back nine to win by one shot in her first major.
England's Charley Hull and Bronte Law slipped out of contention with rounds of four and six over respectively.

Hoist On Their Own Stats
In one corner, a USA Toduh-style graphic, a histogram, asks "How Can Indianapolis Stop Gun Violence? Experts wish they could give an easy answer, but there isn't one." The graphic shows homicides per year, with a line to show how many involved firearms[1]:
2006: 150 (124 shot)
2007: 124 (86)
2008: 123 (91)
2009: 106 (77)
2010: 74 (61) [to date]
...A note tells us "homicides" include police-action shootings[2], accidental deaths and self-defense.
Class, can anyone tell me what the trend line of this escalating spiral of death might be? All of you? Yes, that's right: down. The murder rate in Indianapolis is decreasing.
I'm not sure how the experts have missed this; certainly it never occurred to Our Fine Local Newspaper[3] to correlate the downward trend they appear to have overlooked with the improvements in our gun laws, like lifetime carry permits and the "gun in your car" law. And of course, in the article itself, they're referring to "gun violence"[1, again] as the problem, even while admitting what's needed are "multifaceted approaches that address the root causes, beyond calls by some groups for stronger gun-control laws..." [emphasis mine]. Gee, y'mean criminals ignore gun laws? Who'd'a thunk? And crime has causes more complex than simply access to the tools with which to commit 'em? Stunning insight!
Indiana has made it easier for the law-abiding individual to obtain and carry firearms. Murders are trending down. The paper can't see the connection and wants to Do Something. $DIETY help us all.
1. So much nicer and more preferable to be beaten to death with a croquet mallet or brickbat?
2. It's macabre of me but the phrase always has me wondering if that means the victim was shot in Vietnam?
3. Layout and design outsourced to Louisville.

It's called "Never let accurate reporting get in the way of promoting the agenda." Gannnett is institutionally in favor of firearms restrictions, ergo all Gannett coverage will spin that way.
The fact that they included police action and self-defense shootings (both quite different from either setting out to kill someone or engaging in crime with murder as your backup plan) in their "homicide" figures demonstrates how egregious is their spin. (I'm surprised they didn't include deaths in traffic accidents where there was a gun within 50 feet of the car.)

Police-action shootings transpire in Korea.
International-war-against-communist-aggression shootings occur in Viet Nam. It's this whole other country.

Police actions and self-defense shootings are both examples of homicides. Justifiable in almost all cases, of course

I ran across a page of gun death statistics and I was surprised at how many there were. What was more surprising was the majority were due to suicide.

Recently I heard a 911 call from a woman hiding somewhere in the building while the shootings were taking place. She was told to stay where she was, and wait for the police to come. Good advice. BUT, I cant't help but wonder if she might have felt safer, if she had been holding a pistol. I would have.

Flashback, March 2007:
We flew to the BVI's with two other couples in order to charter a boat for a week. The other couples were friends of Hans' and I'd only met them once during a 'planning' meeting. The day we were to arrive at the charter boat, Hans and I missed a puddle jumper flight and we ended up spending the night in Puerto Rico instead. This cut out a full day on the boat and since this was a much deserved vacation for both of us (I was holding down two jobs at the time), the stress level was beginning to mount. But we finally got there and after a very quick briefing, we were off.
I don't know where the break down in communication occurred but somewhere along the line I'd been given the impression that coffee (my life's blood at that time) would be hot and ready on board early the next morning. So upon arising, I took my time getting a shower, washing my hair, and applying makeup (an obvious charterer!). But, alas, I found the galley lacking not only crew, but coffee. "No problem," I said. I found a large aluminum percolator and immediately set to work. I'd filled its huge basket with coffee, poured nearly a gallon of bottled water into its reservoir, and only then did I discover that the glass percolating bulb was missing and was nowhere to be found. That's just about the time my brain told me if it didn't get a caffeine infusion pretty soon there might be a problem. Poor Hans stepped in and tried to help. His engineering brain so wanted to solve this unsolvable problem and then the wife who'd promised early morning coffee came tripping aboard holding a single steaming cup of carry-out. While I zeroed in on exactly where she'd come upon such goodness, Hans was still scratching his head and trying to come up with some kind of McGyver-like fix. I then told him where ready-made coffee could be had and would he please go get me some (I honestly can't remember why I didn't make this trek myself). His answer was to continue to try to re-engineer the percolator and that's when I came unglued and screamed (yes, I admit, I screamed) "Just go get me a cup of f*cking coffee!"
He did, and luckily we later found a jar of instant coffee on board and I did my best to behave for the rest of the trip. Except for the morning Hans took a huge gulp from my orange juice and loudly exclaimed in amazement for everyone to hear, "There's vodka in this!"
That was the first and last time we sailed with those people.
May, 2015:
Crazy weather, a severe lack of internet service, and a pit bull who in addition to adopting a nation of ticks and (if we dare go ashore without him) thinks our guest berth is potty central, has made this particular trip to the Bahamas a bit more challenging than expected. I had just finished mentioning this to Hans when I realized I was missing a vital piece to my AeroPress Coffee Maker. Well, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
I love my AeroPress. All it requires is hot water, a paper filter, and any grind coffee you choose. What I especially like is that clean up is a breeze. Gone are the days of using way too much water to clean our French Press (I know I can use sea water for the initial rinse but maybe I don't feel like it). Every morning I fire up our propane stove, heat water in my ancient percolator which takes very little time and its then poured into the AeroPress and voila, Coffee! Except for yesterday morning when I realized my little hockey-puck-size sieve which houses the tiny paper filter had gone missing. I don't know why but I just knew it had to have ended up in the previous day's garbage which was happily fermenting in the Blackpoint Settlement dumpster.
I'm pretty sure the charter cruise of 2007 resonated deeply in Hans' psyche and in fear of reliving it, he set out to make things right.
After a breakfast with French Press coffee and a trip to the beach in order to exhaust and empty the dog (whom we then left on the boat), we headed ashore. While I hooked up to the internet Hans headed over to the dumpster (I was kind enough to provide rubber gloves). A good while later I was sitting on a broken plastic lawn chair at a lopsided table when Hans finally showed up where he then gallantly placed my missing AeroPress piece on the table.
Hans the Hero
Yes, it was indeed a Happy Mother's Day for both of us.

7 Honey Facts You Should Know
I learned my honey facts by accident. It all started in the studio, where I was painting with beeswax. An idea festered for a few months before I acted on it. One day, out of the clear blue, I bought a hive and started keeping bees. The only thing I was interested in was their wax. The year was 2010 and very honestly and transparently I documented all of the early details and nonsense here in this blog. My list of honey facts quickly grew, and so did my love for these little creatures.
A couple of my fearless friends stood by and shot footage of me taking care of the bees, that's when I started my YouTube channel. There was no real method to my madness. I just felt like sharing everything I could.
My mentor, Dale Large, a sixty-plus-year beekeeping veteran took the lead in the apiary with me by his side as his loving and devoted protégé. The first day in the field, Dale shared several already drawn combs with me. He explained that this would enable the bees to start storing honey faster since they wouldn't have to put their energy into building out the comb. I explained that all I wanted was the wax, and that is when my lessons in beekeeping really started. Everything changed that day.
Honey Facts go along well with honeybee facts.
The bees store honey in the brood chamber, where they also grow family. One season we found that the bees filled the whole brood chamber to the top with honey. The bees will do this when they don't have enough room to store their honey. Lesson learned. Altogether too late.
It's a fact that Bees are starving.
Before widespread population growth, bees lived off of bountiful native plants. Due to a combination of climate change and over-development, along with pesticide use, pollinator food sources are dropping. Now more than ever it's so very important to plant a pollinator garden to help to sustain the bee population.
The amount of honey the bees can produce on our farm grows annually. This is a blessing that we're thankful for: boxes filled with healthy bees and golden honey are little rays of sunshine for us.
One of the more important Honey Facts is that Honey is a product of its environment, like wine. It's all about the dirt that surrounds the hive.
Small Batch artisanal honey boasts a unique mix of nectar from various trees and flowers in a location. Like wine reflects the complexity of the soil and weather, honey tells the story of the hive surroundings in the same way.
We covered (very deeply) our story about the bees and farming in our early days of blogging to give a good idea of what is growing on our farm. To supplement what nature provides, we've researched and planted acres and acres of cover crops and non-invasive plants. Farming has not been easy without chemistry. We have failed more than we have succeeded.
Our Waxing Kara Spring Honey is nature's blend from old apple and pear orchards, walnut and persimmon groves, and plenty of other native trees. Healthy doses of tulip poplar, lavender, honeysuckle, Joe Pye weed, and berries add to the mix, and clover and sunflower cover crops bolster the amount of honey the bees make.
Honey is medicine
There have been countless studies on the benefits of honey on the skin. Pressure wounds, post-surgical wounds, meningococcal septicemia, burns and more have all been treated with honey. The power of honey as medicine has been long documented, and studies begging the question "Does honey heal" are ongoing.
Honey is a gift from nature
Whether artisan or varietal honey, we don't believe in doing any fancy blending, colorizing or infusing of honey. Because of this, our honey is certified kosher. We also don't pasteurize our honey. Pasteurization destroys all of the pollen, enzymes, propolis, nutrients, and aromatics in honey.
At Waxing Kara, we sell only pure, raw honey. For processing, we minimally filter and lightly heat our honey: sometimes, it crystallizes before we jar it, so we must re-liquefy the honey. Our honey is as natural as the bees and nature intended.
We only work with very experienced beekeepers who follow best practices in beekeeping. We bottle, label and package by hand at our Honey House in Owings Mills, Maryland. Our honey is all 100% made in the USA.
Care of Honey
This is one of our favorite honey facts! Honey is a "perfect" food with an indefinite shelf life. This is mainly due to the chemical structure of honey: it is a supersaturated solution, meaning there is more solute (in this case, sugar) in the mix than there is solvent (water).
Honey facts support that sugars found in honey actually prevent microbial growth, and since honey is a humectant, it pulls water in from its environment to try and balance out the sugar-to-water ratio. This effectively kills bacteria by dehydrating them before they can reproduce.
Store honey in airtight glass, away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate. You can liquify crystallized honey by placing the jar in a pan of hot, but not boiling, water. Your objective is not to get the honey higher than 115 degrees so that it remains "Raw". Let stand a few minutes and gently stir.
Bees can carry more than their own weight in honey
An average hive can produce up to 100 pounds of honey a year. A single pound of honey requires a colony of bees to collect nectar from just about 2 million flowers by traveling over 50K miles. This equates to the lifespan of 800 bees.
Each year, we add more plants and trees to support the bees. This is a years-long process, and each year the honey will be different. If you want to follow our progress watch the blog for articles about honey recipes the bees and farming in the beekeeping section.

Happy Gilmore Review
Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) grew up believing that he would be a hockey player, but his foul-mouthed temper and bad discipline always ensured he was the last to be picked for his local team. With only his old grandmother as family, Happy struggles to keep a job or a girlfriend, and is given an impossible task of having to find nearly three hundred thousand dollars when his grandmother's home is due to be seized by the IRS. However, unknown to Happy, he has a monstrous hockey shot, that would win him prizes in any golf tournament. Exploited by veteran pro golfer Chubbs Peterson (Carl Weathers), Happy soon enters tournaments and realises that his colourful and aggressive personality are not only bringing him massive fans, but could also earn him the money to save his grandmother's house. However, scheming golf rival Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) wants to win the golden jacket for himself, and will do anything to protect the 'etiquette' of golf and stop Happy winning.
Whereas most mainstream comedy efforts of the nineties were stupid, humourless affairs that failed to capitalise on the gains made by such fine eighties examples as Airplane!, The Naked Gun or Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Happy Gilmore possesses a paradoxical 'dumb intelligence', and elevates itself to the highest level of farcical comedy. It's the sort of film that plays along the same conventions as the Farrelly Brothers' excellent There's Something About Mary, suggesting that it understands how comedy can be used to its advantage.
Yes the humour is very stupid in places, but it is so refreshingly devoid of any goofing around for the camera's benefit. Happy is a serious individual on a serious quest; the comic situations arise out of the stupidity of the situations he finds himself in. For example, it's hilarious when Happy has a violent fist-fight with Price Is Right host Bob Barker over a charity golf game. This isn't because it's funny to see a young guy fighting an old guy, but because we firmly believe that given the right taunting Happy would have no qualms fighting anybody.
Funnily enough, we don't hate Happy because of his vicious temper (we never hated McEnroe either in real life) because we the audience seem to understand the chip on his shoulder and know that his heart is in the right place. Happy isn't horrible, he just has an inferiority complex, unlike his main rival Shooter McGavin, played in a deliciously menacing way by Christopher McDonald. Shooter seems to represent the three-dimensional version of the Simpson's Troy McClure - a pretentious and self-absorbed playboy drawn straight out of nineteen-thirties' Hollywood. McDonald gives Shooter a fantastic sense of 'bad-guy' characteristics, even though we know his only real crime is to try and cheat at golf. Ben Stiller almost steals the show in a brief cameo as the Orderly in the nursing home - exhibiting a mean streak of terror amongst his old-age patients as soon as their young siblings have left. Even Carl Weathers, most famous for playing Apollo Creed in Rocky, demonstrates that he is not as much of a leftfield choice as may first seem, with a warm and funny performance as Happy's mentor Chubbs.
Sandler himself is at his best when his characters conflict a hard edge with a nice edge, such as in Big Daddy or The Wedding Singer, and this film contains arguably his finest performance. It's no surprise that Sandler wrote the film with co-scripter Tim Herlihy, as he seems confident about comic timing to the extent that you can sense he understands the script well. Dennis Dugan gives the film a bright exterior that is always the perfect ambience for a Hollywood comedy, as they should try their utmost to keep the audience in a positive and cheery frame of mind. There's Something About Mary was set in gorgeous Florida and contained many bouncy pop-songs on the soundtrack, and Happy Gilmore is very similar, replacing the lush Florida setting with the perfection of golf courses; the sun glistening gently through the trees. It's a glorious setting, and helps each jokey sequence be delivered better to the audience.
How do you judge a film like this? It's funny, it hits its targets in an assured fashion and it doesn't set out to be anything other than what the trailer presents it as. Happy Gilmore is a perfect night's no-brainer comedy entertainment, and is vying with There's Something About Mary for title of the best mainstream farcical comedy of the nineties. Already a cult hit, the film will separate the camps firmly, like most comedies do, but will still please a large portion of audiences who still appreciate the formulaic Hollywood comedy. Be warned that the UK release is cut by the BBFC by nearly a minute, but these cuts are not easily spotted and do not spoil the enjoyment.
Here's the surprise. Despite the Region 1 version being presented in fullscreen, and Universal's penchant for non-anamorphic treatment of bare-bones back-catalogue releases, fans will be delighted to note that the Region 2 version of Happy Gilmore is presented in fantastic anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1. The picture is sharp and vivid in tone and the colours are bright and vibrant.
Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1, the sound mix is very good in terms of audio definition and volume level even if the surround elements are particularly lacking and only appear to be slightly more than a 2.0 mix.
Menu: A silent and static menu traditionally seen in the early ages of DVD menus.
Packaging: Presented in a typical amaray packaging with a sunnier cover artwork compared to the Region 1. A four page chapter-listing insert is provided inside the amaray.
Trailer: A funny original trailer, especially considering the Region 1 version doesn't claim to have any extras.
Cast & Filmmakers: Decent textual biographies of the main cast and crew are presented, along with selected filmographies.
Production Notes: Some interesting textual production notes are included about the film backed with promo stills.
Feelgood golfing comedy at its best, Happy Gilmore is one of those rare treats in which the case applies that if you love the film enough you won't care about the lack of extras. This Region 2 version also wins because of its anamorphic widescreen picture transfer, and a brief sprinkle of extras, but ultimately this DVD contains all of the requirements to be a barebones gem.

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (May 28): Army foils bombing in Cotabato
An Army's explosive ordnance team foiled a bombing attempt on Tuesday night by still unknown suspects in Cotabato.
"An Army EOD Team successfully recovered an IED (improvised explosive device) made out of 60mm projectile near a videoke bar on Makapindig Extension St. in Poblacion, Pikit town, North Cotabato about 9:45 p.m.," a military report said.
At about 8 p.m. a concerned citizen informed Pikit police station about a suspected IED that he spotted near a videoke bar owned by a certain Rene Labanun.
The responders, led by a Sergeant Regori, also recovered a cellphone that served as a triggering device. No one was hurt from the incident.
Last May 12, two explosions rocked nearby Batulawan village also in Pikit town. No one was injured.
Work Ethics and values as household, community managers and leaders were part of the topics that were presented and discussed during the seminar proper.
Sheikh Mahmod Ahmad, BLMI Executive Director welcomed the participants with a message of hope and motivation by saying that Moro Women must be able to cope up with the challenges that lay ahead without compromising their dignity and faith.
Prof. Esmael Abdula, BLMI Training Unit Officer facilitated the program and delved on some updates of the GPH-MILF Peace process and BLMI programs that were successfully undertaken by the institute.
Dr. Tarhata S. Guiamalon, a Shari'ah Lawyer lectured on Work ethics and Office etiquettes. She emphasized the value of ethics in organization that may propel an institution towards excellence. She mentioned about the internationally- accepted protocol and practices in organizations where Bangsamoro Women must try to absorb, acquire and practice.
Sheikh Sam Alabat, also a Shari'ah Law graduate from the International Islamic University Pakistan (IIUP) and BLMI Extension Service Unit head touched on Shari'ah and Politics in Islam and categorically emphasized the essentiality of Islamic Leadership and Management where everyone must be cognizant on its application and its moral implications while performing one's responsibilities.
Dr. Guiamalon also spoke on strategic leadership techniques and mechanisms. She emphasized the importance of preparedness in times of exigencies. She also dealt on halal industry which is associated with Muslim's basic needs and consumable foods that the Bangsatoro needs to be aware of; on what is allowable and forbidden in Islam
Mrs. Noraida Chio, Senior Program Officer of The Asia Foundation (TAF) lectured on the necessity of hygiene and other related issues that the Bangsamoro Women should always uphold such as cleanliness, sanitation and health awareness in accordance with Islamic Teachings. "Cleanliness is one-half of faith" she stressed.
In his closing remarks, BLMI Executive Director Mahmod S. Ahmad expressed his appreciation on the dynamic participation of the women and inspired them by saying that "Behind the success and failure of man there is always a woman". He also mentioned the significant contributions of women during the time of the prophets. Mr. Salik Abdula synthesized the topics presented and discussed by speakers.
At the end of the activity, the participants expressed their profound gratitude to BLMI Management, speakers as well as to The Asia Foundation (TAF) – Aus-Aid for their continuous assistance to the Moro people in Mindanao and their continued support to the just ended peace process.

Gemini was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Arno solved several riddles to find a part of the Nostradamus Disc.
First riddle
At the edge of the capital
In the shadow of the wall
The swamp of sorrows
Burns the outcast's fire
Second riddle
Where the dead rest,
Stone eyes watch.
Vigilant guardians,
In death as in life.
Third riddle
In the fetid muck
Where the dark stream meets
Her flowing mother
You will find your goal
At the foot of the old tower.

Kittelson stays close to family roots
By Shalom Baer
University Communication Student Assistant
MINOT, N.D. – Adrianna Kittelson, a sophomore at Minot State majoring in mathematics education, has been involved in band from as far back as she can remember. She's from a family that's involved in music, which caused her to become interested at an early age.
"I did band since you could, I think it was fifth grade I started. I've always been percussion," she said.
Kittelson plays a variety of percussion instruments including drums, mallets, bells, and chimes. She is here at Minot State on a band scholarship.
"I had the same band teacher and choir teacher (in high school), and then my last year he retired so I had a new one. She actually came from Minot State, and she asked us if we wanted to go and try out for a scholarship for band; and I got a scholarship for here," Kittelson said.
Band, especially the marching band, has helped Kittelson make friends in a university environment.
"I've made lot of friends through band. That helped me a lot when I first came here. Minot State is not a big school, but it's big for me because I came from a small school," Kittelson said. "I graduated with 25 people. I'm pretty sure I'm related to half the school (in Velva). My best friend was related to the other half, so it felt like the whole school was my family."
Being surrounded by family is one of the reasons that Kittelson chose Minot State.
"I do like that it's close to home. My family lives in Velva, my brother lives here, and my other brother lives in Burlington — 15 minutes from here — so all my family is from here. I really helps when I have flat tire or anything," she said.
Another reason that Kittelson chose to attend Minot State rather than other universities in North Dakota is the quality of the education program.
"I originally wanted to go to Bismarck," Kittelson said. "But they didn't have as good of an education program as Minot. My first year, I did get to go out and observe some classes. At Bishop Ryan I observed algebra and calculus, so I did learn a lot from that."
Kittelson decided to major in math education after realizing that while she was in school, other students would often ask for her assistance with math, and she plans to take her education and pass it on to students in a small education environment similar to the one she was raised in.
"I want to teach at a small school so I can interact with students more and know their names. I'm horrible with names," she said. "I feel like at bigger schools, I've never been to one, but there are some moments where you can interact but not all of them know what you're struggling with unless you go and talk to them, but in a small school they just know what you should work on."
In addition to her involvement in band, Kittelson, who played volleyball, basketball, and ran in track in high school, now plays intramural volleyball at Minot State for fun.
"It's really laid back," she said. "There's just one referee, and everyone is pretty good about something that's out or not."
About Minot State University
Minot State University is a public university dedicated to excellence in education, scholarship, and community engagement achieved through rigorous academic experiences, active learning environments, commitment to public service, and a vibrant campus life.

"I met Cynthia at art school. She was a right Hoylake runt. Dead snobby. We used to poke fun at her and mock her, me and Geoff Mohammed. 'Quiet Please,' we'd shout, 'No dirty jokes, It's Cynthia.' We had a class dance and I asked her to dance. Geoff had been having me on, saying, 'Cynthia likes you, you know.' As we danced I asked her to come to a party the next day. She said she couldn't. She was engaged." - John Lennon
"John asked me to dance and I nearly died. Bingo! I then amazed myself by being very cool, calm and collected outwardly-inside I was out of this world. The dance was slow and smoochy. I was aloof and John, I think, was slightly embarrassed. It was all very painful and beautiful at the same time. The remaining students were looking on with puzzled expressions at such an unlikely combination." - Cynthia Lennon
"We used to take the mickey out of her, but John always said he fancied her. He called her Miss Prim. He was certainly always attracted to her from the first time he saw her in the canteen." - Thelma Pickles
"I was triumphant at having picked her up. We had a drink and went back to Stu's flat, buying fish and chips on the way." - John Lennon
"She was very pretty-Bardot like. I used to look at her from across the canteen and then I heard she had been caught by that shit Lennon. They looked at eachother adoringly, totally fixated." - Michael Isacson
"He wanted total commitment and I was pleased to give it. If I as much as looked at another man, he would go mad and say, 'Who's he?' in a moody voice." - Cynthia Lennon
"I was hysterical. That was the trouble. I was jealous of anyone she had anything to do with. I demanded absolute trust from her, because I wasn't trustworthy myself. I was neurotic, taking all my frustrations out on her. She did leave me once. That was terrible. I couldn't stand being without her." - John Lennon
"George and Paul both thought it a great laugh that John was so keen on Cynthia, the lovely girl who used to go to art school with him. Even then, four years before they married, they were crazy over each other. Cyn used to travel thirty miles a night from her home in Hoylake just to sit by the stage of the Casbah, listening to John playing with us." - former bandmate Ken Brown
"Postman Postman don't be slow! I'm in love with Cyn, so go man, go!" - John Lennon on envelope to Cynthia.
"When John was with me, it was total commitment. Whatever he did outside our relationship didn't seem very important. We were together such a lot of the time that whatever other affairs he had once we met couldn't have amounted to much because I was with him most of the time. He kept me in Liverpool as late as I dared stay." - Cynthia Lennon
"They were totally opposites but right for eachother, and although they came from different backrounds, they were a perfect match. I think they would have obviously taken longer to get married, but it would have happened. They loved eachother very much. There was no separating them" - Phyllis McKenzie (mutual friend)
"I fell in love with Cynthia. It's as simple as that." - John Lennon in a Beatles interview
"It's not like we denied it. It's just no one asked us." - John Lennon regarding marriage to Cynthia.
"We were both sort of bowled over by the fact that we were married. It wasn't a question of 'Have we done the right thing?' It was all perfectly natural that we should be together. But John didn't get a real chance to be first a real husband or later, a real father. Once he got on the Beatles bangwagon he couldn't get off, even if he wanted to." - Cynthia Lennon
"John needed to escape his reality. I understood completely but I couldn't go along with him." - Cynthia Lennon regarding John's drug taking.
"The beginning of the end." - Cynthia Lennon regarding John's drug taking.
"It was at this point in our marriage that I realized that unless I joined the club, we weren't going to survie, so I succumed to one of John's never ending requests to take LSD with him. I didn't want to but I felt that I had to save our marriage. I also believe John in his own way was doing the same. During my trip John was marvellous. But whatever happiness and awareness John gained through it, I didn't. I hated every moment. It was hell on earth. The hallucinations sent me into a panic. Through my tears and fears I would look at John in the hope that he could in some way help me out of the prison my mind had become., only to see the man I loved turn into a giant mule with razor sharp teeth leering and laughing at me. All the time John kept telling me he loved me and would never leave me. All I could reason was that I was definitely going mad. It was something I never wanted to experience again." - Cynthia Lennon
"I lost John to drugs." - Cynthia Lennon
"It was said I never loved Cyn. That's far from the truth. We were young, bigheaded, and got into a physical relationship too soon. Perhaps if we took things slow we would have made it. I know we would have made it." - John Lennon 1974
"Cynthia's grown up with it, with me." - John Lennon
"There were definitely two sides to John...his softer side came out in his initital love and tenderness for Cynthia." - Pete Best
"People say Cynthia was a mundane, hometown girl, 'mumsy' - your average Mrs Liverpool. That's a load of nonsense. Cynthia was a highly talented woman in her own right. She painted, she drew, she sculpted, she designed." - Julia Baird John's sister
April 1962: John writing to his girlfriend Cynthia during The Beatles' stay in Hamburg, Germany
Star Club
39 Grossse Frieher
Actona Hamburg
Dear Cyn,
I love love love you and I'm missing you like mad. I wonder why all the newspapers wrote about Stu' - especially the 'People' - and how the hell did they find out, who could have told them, as I wrote that I suddenly remembered there's a fellow at the 'Jacaranda' who's a freelance journalist. It could have been him because Allan Williams has been helping Mrs. Stutcliffe or something. I haven't seen Astrid since the day we arrived. I've thought of going to see her but I would be so awkward - and probably the others would come as well and it would be even worse. I won't write any more about it 'cause it's not much fun. I love you - I don't like the idea of Dot moving in permanently with you 'cause we could never be alone really - I mean when I come home - can't she have the other room or find another flat - imagine having her there all the time when we were in bed - and imagine Paul coming all the time - and especially when I wasn't there. I'd hate the idea. I love you Cyn.
The club is massive and we only play 3 hrs one night and 4 the next - and we play an hour - then an hour break so it doesn't seem long at all really. The boss of this place is a good skin - we're off tomorrow 'cause it's Good Friday and they can't have music so the boss - (Manfred) is taking us and the other group out for the day in his car and all the rest of them like Horst are coming, so it will be a big mob in our 5 cars. We're going somewhere healthy like the Osr Sea (Stuart again)
God, I'm knackered its 6 o'clock in the morning and I want you. (I've just found out that there's no post tomorrow so I will pack in good night. I love you boo! hoo! I hate this place).
That was Thursday night now its Sunday afternoon, I've just wakened up and there no post tomorrow (Easter Monday I think) anyway happy Easter Cyn. I love you. We went out, but all we did was eat and eat and eat (Good Friday) it was all free so it was okay. We drove somewhere about 80 miles away and ate.
My voice has been gone since I got here (it was gone before I came if I remember rightly). I can't seem to find it - ah well! I love you Cyn Powell and I wish I was on the way to your flat with the Sunday papers and cherries and a throbber! Oh Yes! I forgot to tell you I've got a GEAR suede overcoat with a belt so I'll look just like you now! Paul's leaping about on my head (he's in a bunk on top of me and he's snoring!) I can hardly get in a position to write its so cramped below stairs captain, Shuttup McCartney! grunt grunt.
I can't wait to see your new room it will be great seeing it for the first time and having chips and all and a ciggie (don't let me come home to a regular smoker please Miss Powell) Hmm I can just see YOU and Dot puffing away I suppose that's the least of my worries. I love you cyn I miss miss miss you miss Powell - I keep remembering all the parts of Hamburg that we went to together. In fact I can't get away from you - especially on the Way, and inside the Seaman, boo! hoo! I love love love you. X
Did I tell you that we have a good bathroom with a shower, did I? Did I tell you? Well, I've had ONE whole shower aren't I a clean little raker? hee! hee! I love you I haven't written to Mimi yet but I know how to send her money so it gets there in 2 hrs. XXX
I can't think what to write now so I will pack in and write some tomorrow seeing as how like I can't POST it anyway so good afternoon Cyn I love you. Will you send me the words to "A SHOT OF RHYTHM AND BLUES" Please? There's not many.
It's Monday night and we finished playing about 3/4 hrs ago (its 2 o'clock). I'm dead beat my sweet, so I hope you won't mind if I finish now and have lovely sleep (without you but it'll still be lovely - don't be hurt - but I'm so, so tired). I love you Cyn - I hope you realise why this letter took so long lovey but there has been no post Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon - and this one will go by the early morning Tuesday post 'cause I will nip downstairs and post it any minute (handy isn't it?) I love you, I love you please wait for me and don't be sad and work hard and be a clever little Cyn Powell. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, write soon ooh its a naughty old Hamburg we're living in!!
All my Love for Ever and ever
P.S. They're leather PANTIES not pants (just in case y'know!)
August 1965: John writing to Cynthia during The Beatles' American Tour
...what he said about it. It's not that much bother really, is it? When you think about it - 'cause I'm sure Dot [the Lennon's housekeeper] and Lil' [Cynthia's mother] and Bennigs, Tommy, Jordy, etc. can understand something as simple as us wanting to be alone for a day - I don't mean Julian - I mean don't pack him off to Dots or anywhere - I really miss him as a person now - do you know what I mean, he's not so much 'The Baby' or 'My Baby' anymore, he's a real living part of me now, you know he's Julian and everything and I can't wait to see him, I miss him more then I've ever done before - I think it's been a slow process my feeling like a real father! I hope all this is clear and understandable. I spend hours in dressing rooms and things thinking about the times I've wasted not being with him - and playing with him - you know I keep thinking of THOSE stupid bastard times when I keep reading bloody newspapers and other shit while he's in the room with me and I've decided it's ALL WRONG! He doesn't see enough of me as it is and I really want him to know and love me, and miss me like I seem to be missing both of you so much.
I'll go now 'cause I'm bringing myself down thinking about what a thoughtless bastard I seem to be - and it's only short of three o'clock in the afternoon, and it seems the wrong time of day to feel so emotional - I really feel like crying - its stupid - and I'm choking up now as I'm writting - I don't know what's the matter with me - It's not the tour that's so different from other tours - I mean I'm having lots of laughter (you know the type hee! hee!) but in between the laughter there is such a drop - I mean there seems to be in between feelings. Anyway I'm going now so this letter doesn't get to draggy.
I love you very much.
To Cyn
John XXXXXXXXXX
P.S. Say hello to Charle etc. for me
P.P.S. I think you can ring me if you have a phone there try - if not I'll see you in about a week.
P.P.P.S. It's Monday the 23rd today and I leave this house next Monday the 30th of August - so try to please
