Racism, Racial Issues and Christianity—Answers to Frequently-Asked-Questions
What are the consequences of sexual immorality? Answer

|Jessy Terrero
|David Scott Rubin
This movie has some funny elements, but for the most part, the movie is little more than a series of comedy sketches, only a few of which actually relate to each other. This movie is an attempt to mesh the humorous elements of the "Airplane" movies, the "Friday" series, and "Dumb and Dumber," depicting what the movie's producers, director, and writers apparently feel would be an accurate portrayal of an airline run and staffed completely by African-Americans.
Every possible racial stereotype regarding blacks and whites (and even one brief Muslim stereotype joke) is presented except for the typical white-racist stereotype which is quickly dispelled when Mr. Hunkee's girlfriend throws away his "Cracker World" trucker hat. Instead, the white family is treated the same as any other family. Interestingly enough, none of the African-American passengers have children, and only a security guard shows any paternal instinct regarding his five daughters whom he rarely gets to see. The Hunkees are the only "family" on the plane. Is the movie trying to say that only white people take responsibility for their families and that African-Americans don't care about having families? "Soul Plane" depicts blacks as sex-crazed, pot-smoking, 'shroom-eating drunks who love to dance.
Only one black character shows any willingness to be responsible—Nashawn Wade, the owner of the airline. The female flight attendants are very professional and even motherly in their care of the passengers. The others, for the most part, are ready to take care of themselves instead of doing what is right. Again, this character flaw might have been exaggerated for the sake of comedy, but this portrayal does blacks more damage than it helps lift them to dignity. God created all human beings, all in various skin colors, all of various physiques, all of various personalities—to glorify the negative aspects of human nature is not of God. To realize who we are in Christ, to realize the precious treasure we are as children of the living God, to realize our place as princesses and princes in the kingdom of God is difficult, and movies such as "Soul Plane" do not make the process any easier.
As with movies that portray a negative black stereotype, "Soul Plane" has a number of sexual references—lust and desire run amuck in this near-Babylon of the air. One couple actively wants to be members of the "Mile High Club" and tries to have sex in their first-class bench seats, in the bathroom, in the cockpit, and finally on the landing gear. In one scene, the couple uses sado-masochistic techniques to attempt their goal, but like most of their attempts, they fail. Physical intimacy is a part of a married couple's relationship, but this couple was not married and had no other intimacy. Had they based their relationship on God's love, had they committed to each other in marriage and total intimacy of spirit and heart and mind, then they would not be forced to such extremes to achieve the "something" they were looking for.
Surprisingly, the movie does not have any nudity, though some of the clothes fit tightly and reveal more than needed, especially when such body parts are given close-ups. In fact, the Super Bowl halftime show had more nudity than this movie, but this movie has too much unnecessary profanity (I lost count of all the instances of major swear words) and too many unnecessary sexual references (I lost count here, too). There is one disgusting scene involving a baked potato which I feel gross merely mentioning here. Homosexuality plays a role in this movie when one of the flight attendants, named "Flame," is homosexual, and Mr. Hunkee's absent ex-wife is a lesbian. In fact, in one "homosexual"-based scene, a few Catholic priests are included in a Conga line. A sexual stereotype regarding black males is discussed in a number of places, dealing with Barbara's interest in a black male model and Muggsy's attempt to flirt with the Latina flight attendant. The instances of toilet humor are similar to the toilet scene from "Dumb and Dumber."
The Hunkees (the white family) are a very unified family. As soon as the family boards the plane, the 18-year-old daughter, the early teen son, and Barbara, the father's girlfriend, immediately pursue their own interests rather than staying together. The father has the children for only two weekends a month, possibly another reason the family is in such turmoil. The teenage daughter is intensely rebellious at the beginning of the movie, leaving the impression that she is lost spiritually and lost to her father, but later the cause of her angst is revealed as her parents' divorce because the mother became a lesbian. At a time when the family is still under attack and marriage is under siege, the only hope any family has for unity is a reliance on God our Father for sustenance and protection. The Hunkee children do not respect their father; he is more like an older brother. The only person he is protective of is his daughter; he basically ignores his son. Just as Christians need their heavenly Father, children need their fathers, but this movie portrays fathers in a mediocre light at best.
This is not a family film. It does not have family-based material and does not present any sort of positive view of the family.
The movie does not have any violence except the hint of a dog being sucked into a jet engine—no blood, only the quick visual of the dog flying to the engine, the sound of the dog's bark, and the actor's emotional response. Another instance of violence, though somewhat sex-related, is when one of the female security people forces a good-looking man to strip, and she slips her hand in a latex glove and announces, "Cavity search." A fight almost erupts in one scene but it never happens. There are no gun fights, but the pilot smokes pot and eats 'shrooms throughout the movie until he passes out.
The movie has no plot to tie the comic sketches together, unlike the "Airplane" movies where the jokes somehow contributed to a larger storyline. The subplots of the Hunkee family's intra-relationship and Nashawn trying to win back his ex-girlfriend are not enough to say this movie tells any sort of story, unlike movies such as "Barbershop," "Friday," and "Gonna Get You Sucka" which had stories to tell and portrayed African-Americans in a more positive light while making the audience laugh. Those movies had a number of noble characters who defended good against evil; "Soul Plane" has no strong character of goodness; they are all corrupt.
"Soul Plane" is little more than a Sodom and Gomorrah in the air with, essentially, the inmates running the asylum.
This movie is not worth the price of admission or the gas price to get to the theater. Save your money for another movie, preferably one of those recommended on this Web site.
Violence: Minor / Profanity: Extreme / Sex/Nudity: Extreme
Here's what the distributor says about their film: "After a humiliating and horrific experience on a commercial flight, Nashawn Wade (Kevin Hart) sues and is awarded a $100 million settlement. Determined to make good with his newfound wealth, he decides to create the airline of his dreams. With the help of his cousin Muggsy (METHOD MAN), Nashawn creates NWA Airlines, the first full-service carrier designed to cater to the urban traveler.
A one-of-a-kind airliner, NWA's metallic purple and chrome-colored plane comes complete with a hot onboard dance club, live DJs and funky music, its own sassy security crew (including MO'NIQUE), sexy flight attendants (including SOFIA VERGARA), a bathroom attendant named Johnny (D.L. HUGHLEY), and a first class section where the Cristal flows like the flightpath—non-stop.
Departing on its maiden voyage out of Los Angeles, NWA flight #O-69 leaves the ground en route to New York City with a full passenger roster and Captain Mack (SNOOP DOGG) behind the controls in the tricked-out cockpit. The passengers include Nashawn's furious ex-girlfriend, Giselle (K.D. AUBERT), as well as Elvis Hunkee (Tom Arnold), his girlfriend, Barbara (MISSI PYLE), and his two kids (RYAN PINKSTON and ARIELLE KEBBEL). As the onboard party gets more outrageous, the customers get wilder, and chaos reigns throughout the aircraft, Nashawn is forced to land the plane himself and save his airline. With the help of Muggsy, his crew, and Mr. Hunkee, Nashawn brings the plane down in a climax that gives "flying the friendly skies" a whole new meaning."

Super Wubble Just $22.99 Down From $45!
Post may contain affiliate links. Click to read Disclosure . Click to read Privacy Policy.
The NPD Group sent me the new Super Wubble Bubble Ball to check out and tell you about.
This thing is so huge and so strong! My Grandson has wanted one for quite some time, so I am thrilled to have gotten it!
So what makes the Wubble Bubble Ball so special? It's made from revolutionary, near indestructible, lightweight material called Xpandium. It's squishy, squashy, super soft and lightweight and allows it to be inflated to a gigantic three feet tall!
You can have your very own Supper Wubble Bubble Ball ready for play in a matter of minutes. Use the battery-operated air pump to inflate your Wubble Bubble Ball in just two minutes. After you're done jumping, throwing, squishing and kicking, simply deflate your bubble ball with the deflation tool and store it for next time.
The best part is that the Wubble is fun to play with indoors or outdoors, all year round. You can use it as a giant soccer ball, tennis or even beach volleyball. Who would have thought that a simple ball could be so much fun? Now grab your Super Wubble Bubble Ball, blow it up and go have a blast!
I love that it comes with the pump which means it's not a gift that requires anything to get going – we all know how disappointing those can be – having to wait for the correct tool to put it together. This is ready right out of the box since it includes the pump!
It comes in Blue, Pink, Green, and Red, too! So, you're sure to find your Super Wubble fans favorite color!
Super Wubble is up to four times stronger and more tear-resistant than the original Wubble Bubble Ball. Made with a new super stretchy material called Xpandium, it's super smashable and super squashable. Bounce it, throw it, kick it, smoosh it, smash it, even sit on it!
See for yourself how Super Wubble holds up in the fun YouTube series, Super Wubble Vs. The World, where NSI International, the makers of Super Wubble, drop all kinds of objects on the giant bubble ball from the top of a building. Watch Super Wubble take on everything from a pineapple and a bowling ball to a shopping cart and a toilet! And guess for yourself: Will it pop?
Remember, while Super Wubble is strong, it's not indestructible. It can pop if it comes into contact with sharp objects like tacks, broken glass, sharp fingernails or branches – or if played on a rough surface like concrete. For maximum strength and durability, NSI recommends inflating it no more than 30 inches.
Like the original Wubble – which was named the #1 Selling Sports Activity Toy for 2015 by the NPD Group – new SuperWubble is soft and lightweight and can be inflated to gigantic proportions. The new SuperWubble Bubble Ball is just as squishy and fun as our original Wubble Bubble Ball, but uses a new top secret Xpandium™ material, which makes it up to four times stronger and more tear-resistant.
- Super Wubble Bubble Ball is made with the super strong, tear-resistant material, Xpandium
- Comes with new, slimmer battery-operated pump that inflates the Super Wubble Bubble Ball in minutes
- You can kick it, whack it, throw it, bounce it and even sit on it without worrying about deflating it
- This bubble ball floats, wobbles, dribbles, spins, smashes and even makes really wacky sounds
- When you're finished playing, you can even deflate Wubble bubble ball and put it away for next time
It's perfect for a birthday gift, or Christmas present, or even just an anytime surprise! Kids of all ages will be thrilled to have it and it can be used for hours of fun!
You can get yours today on their website, Amazon, or at Toys R Us!

Its printing times could be inconsistent. However, the Pixma MG5120 excelled in our scanning examination, in addition to our duplicating trials. It scanned a web page of text in 9.7 seconds as well as our 8.5x11-inch photo in 15.3 seconds, faster than not just every other printer in its class, but also some much pricier AIOs.

We were pretty sceptical about Portrait Professional, so to find that it actually works came as something of a surprise.
You may be forgiven for thinking that facial retouching is an art rather than a science. The truth is that it's a bit of both. Portrait Professional exploits this by automating the core process, while giving you lots of options to tweak and refine its results.
Load up a new image and you'll be taken through a step-by-step configuration. You select the gender and approximate age of the subject, then carefully adjust guides that frame the face and its features.
At the end of this short process, almost miraculously, you get a retouched photo. Your model has smoother skin, fewer blemishes and wrinkles, glossier hair and the killer feature, a more aesthetically proportioned face. Most surprisingly, the result is subtle and realistic, not painterly like some bad retouching jobs.
The camera lies more effectively than ever, thanks to Portrait Professional's effects
It doesn't end there, though. The myriad tweaks that Portrait Professional implements can be adjusted manually. You can alter the level of spot removal, change the application of skin texture, even alter the shape of your subject's face. You can go for a super-airbrushed effect or something more realistic.
Portrait Professional doesn't look too bad itself. Though ported between Mac and Windows, the tool has a pleasing interface that's universal to both. If you regularly take photographs of people, Portrait Professional is a brilliant complement to your other touch-up tools.

Our Pumps
Our Pumps Come In Two Different models.
Both of our pumps are an exceptional value. The HWP Tee handle pump shown on the left side of the screen and the OP-360 lever handle pump shown on the right side of the screen. They are both constructed of the same high quality US manufactured components with the single exception that the handles and head pieces are different. Please take a few minutes to go over our pumps description. You will be pleasantly surprised as to how affordable a quality US manufactured hand pump can be.
Handle Overview and Considerations
The HWP Tee Handle Pump has a 1" diameter solid 6061 aluminum alloy handle with contoured grips. This pump is useful in shallow well, deep well and water transfer applications. With our pumps and using the Tee handle model the only consideration is that when pumping from deeper wells over 50 to 60 feet in depth it can become difficult to operate over time.
As an example,
The weight of the water in a 3/4" drop pipe is .19 pounds per ft. At 25 feet this equals 4.75 pounds of vertical lifting force needed. At 50 feet it is doubled to 9.5 pounds. Add the weight of the extension rods and it becomes about 17 pounds at 50 of depth. While not difficult for most people to lift it can become stressful when done in a repeated fashion. We recommend the HWP be used in shallower wells under 50 feet and for water transfer from wells to storage tanks, from tanks to a water system or even to irrigate a garden.
If you aren't sure which model is best for your pumping needs, you can purchase the HWP now and if you find it's difficult to pump you can upgrade to a lever handle model by purchasing the handle separately at a later date.
The OP-360 Lever Handle Pump has a 1-1/8" diameter solid 6061 aluminum alloy handle with a contoured grip and aluminum alloy hinge mechanisms that allow for a very leveraged operation. This means that when pumping water at a 50' level, the lifting force needed to bring the water to the surface will be a fraction of the force needed with the HWP. In other words, less work, more water. This allows you to operate the pump for extended periods without fatigue. Furthermore, if the pumping depth is doubled to 100 feet, the force needed is a little more but we have allowed for that by making sure that the fulcrum is correct for deeper pumping. If operating in a very deep well over 250 feet, a handle extension is available to allow for greater leverage. Depths of over 300' can be achieved with this system while retrieving an adequate amount of water.
The Handy Well Pump Head Assembly-Standard on Our Pumps
The head assembly is common on our pumps and consists of 1.65 diameter x 22" long U.S. made 304 stainless steel heavy wall tubing. The upper guide and seal assembly creates a permanent water tight seal between the stainless tube and the Head Cap. The lower female threaded portion is a machined stainless steel insert that is Tig welded to the head assembly for a permanent water tight fit. The outflow is a machined 304 stainless steel component with 3/4" NPT. threads to allow the attachment various outflow options. The cap on our pumps is a machined 6061 aluminum component designed to hold the lift rod centered and maintain a backing for the internal seal. The lift rod is a polished 7/16" diameter x 22" long threaded 304 stainless component designed to keep a stable connection between the handle and the other moving parts of the pump assembly.
Stainless Steel Pump Assembly-Standard on Our Pumps
Our pumps are constructed of US produced, high quality stainless steel and rival the most expensive hand pumps on the market. The pump cylinder is made from highly polished medical grade stainless steel tubing. This is the same material that is used in research facilities, hospitals, dairies and other sterile applications. The lower end is constructed from NSF61 grade Delrin and machined in our shop.The upper end is tig welded 304 stainless steel threaded fitting to insure a watertight connection for the life of the pump.
At the heart of our pumps is the piston. We manufacture our own pistons from NSF61 Nylatron LFG. The self lubricating properties of these pistons allow for the design to be both easy to operate and have the ability to seal for many years. Unlike some more expensive pumps that uses soft PVC in it's pistons ours are made for the long haul. We also use two special EPDM U-seals designed for strength and longevity. They are the food safe version of the same seals you would find in high pressure hydraulic rams. Our simple yet effective pistons can function at depths of over 300' with little to no friction loss and still develop enough pressure to move water to an uphill tank or pressurize a water system. At the center of the piston is a highly accurate (.0005+-") hardened stainless steel ball that come to us in special trays like eggs so that they won't bounce off of each other during shipment. Our piston ball seats are diamond ground to a 4 micron finish for an accurate water tight fit.
Our foot valve is designed to be removable so that the pump can be used as either a shallow well pump or a deep well pump. When the pump assembly is connected directly to the head assembly a 3/4" drop pipe can be attached to the bottom of the pump for distances of up to 28' at sea level. The foot valve is then connected to the bottom of the drop pipe.
When the foot valve is connected to the bottom of the pump assembly then the pump can be used as a deep well pump and Extension Sets would be used to go as deep as is needed.
Universal Well Seal Adapter-Standard on Our Pumps
Other pump manufacturers want you to buy an expensive well seal for use with their pump that will only work with their pump. We thought that we could come up with a better an more affordable process for attaching our pumps or even possibly another manufacturers pump to just about any flat surface well seal on the market.
After a bit of trial and error we finally came up with what is a superior solution to attaching a hand pump to a well seal. Our new Universal Well Seal Adapter will fit from 2 inch seals all the way up to 8 inch seals and anywhere in between. On most seals the slots on the adapter will allow you to use the existing bolt holes in the seal and just exchange the bolts for the stainless steel bolts we provide with the adapter.
One of these adapters is provided in every one of our pump systems. You can purchase a well seal from us or use your own. If you would like a Universal Well Seal Adapter for another pump other than ours, they are available HERE. We manufacture the Universal Well Seal Adapter here in our own shop and they are not available anywhere else.
Convertible Outflow- Standard on Our Pumps
Our Pumps have a convertible outflow that is included with every pump system. This allows you to choose between pumping through a garden hose, pumping into a bucket or hard piping into an existing or new water line. The lead free brass check valve has a relief screw to facilitate draining down the pump in freezing conditions.

How Recruiters Scan Your Resume In 7 Seconds
Ok so let's talk about resumes. You guys will be really really surprised to learn that the average time a hiring manager spends looking at your resume is seven seconds. Yeah that's right, 7 seconds! and you know how quickly seven seconds goes. Now this is a matter for the first screen obviously so let's say for example on a recruiter that's hiring for some our intern position or a full-time position has a hundred resumes in front of them, the seven seconds is how long they're going to go through that part of a hundred resumes or 200 resumes to get it down to the pile where they will look at it more carefully. But the seven seconds is that initial screen, so I just want to show you very quickly what they look at, where their eyes go to, how they quickly scan a one-page document and by the way this is kind of why your resume needs to be one page and and I'll get into that in a different article about the one page versus two pages but for now the purpose of my blog today is how recruiters read your resume in 7 seconds. It's really important to keep your resume clean and concise and let me just show you where the recruiters eyes go. So this is based on research that has been done and it looked at many different data points and tracked different recruiters work. So this is what they discovered.
First Screen
So the start with the name and then the education very quickly where they had the degree from and what the degrees are and where they went to school. Then what the immediate job is so if it's an internship they'll see that right away and then before that what was other jobs that this person did. For example case there was a job here for two
years and then there was a job before that for two years so the eyes is basically going to scan the title and
the length of time that's pretty much it. The scan education bit, the name of the degree in the school and then the the names of the companies and the length of time that they worked at those companies and that's that's it.
Bullet Points
Alright so now after that of course once you make that screen then comes all the important stuff that that we teach you know we take so much pain to teach such as you know how it's critical to make sure that every single bullet point is optimized and you talk about a result in each of it. NO JOB DESCRIPTIONS, you've got to focus on results and impact what is it that you you accomplished and then putting in numbers data to support what you're
saying so after that screen then what they are looking for is what their eyes are going to scan exactly as my eyes are scanning right now is this kind of thing right so here in this particular resume I just literally in the end up
in it in a couple seconds they highlighted just what my eyes caught and it's stuff like you know they increased something good by X percent so good things to increase that things like sales and revenues and customer
satisfaction scores, bad things to decrease the costs and inventory, turnaround and customer complaints. Ok so all your resume bullets should start with very strong verbs such as led, drove, tracked, launched, developed, implemented,increased, doubled so here for example, an applicant has doubled annual sales volume by 22 million and expanded coverage from 5,000 to 21,000 client for a key product line by blah blah blah or and let the development of an education campaign to raise awareness of blah blah targeting 200-plus and clients across the New Zealand or and drove key parts of a strategy to increase the critical metric brand recommended most often by five percent in 2016 or re positioned brand image and recovered market lost by five percent and gains 200 new clients. Alright I just gave very quickly some examples but as you can tell there is enough numbers here that are popping out at me such as percentage symbols, there are the hard numbers there are dollar symbols and millions of something, five million of something so then in that second stage those are things that my eyes are going to scan from.
All right so in summary the seven second scan on your resume is going to be on your education, your work experience in total, what were some of those work experiences where did you work, where you go to school and then in the second screen they're going to scan for key accomplishments, key results numbers you increase, the positive metrics, like sales and revenues. Decreased negative metrics like costs and customer complaints. And then you
start every bullet point with strong action groups. All right! hope that was helpful.

Yeval is the 2007 debut novel by C. W. Schultz. It is a first-person narrative of the life of a mentally unstable Seattleite who is haunted by an imaginary monster named Yeval. The novel is an experiment on how violence differentiates from entertainment and reality. The extent of gruesome violence, used to avoid glamorizing, makes the book an example of transgressive fiction.
(Spoiler alert!)
Set in Seattle in the present, Yeval chronicles roughly one year of the life of a psychotic drug-dealer named Randy Mulray during a killing spree of a serial killer named the Seattle Slayer. Randy, who is 29 years old, narrates his struggles with: Yeval, his mentally-retarded brother Ryan, his father Kenneth (frequently referred to as "Asshole"), his current girlfriend Morgan, his ex-girlfriend Caroline, the police (including the detectives investigating the Slayer murders), fellow drug-dealers (mainly Louie), his mother's death, gambling at Silver's Casino, the Seattle Slayer, and himself (OCD, anger, anxiety, depression, suicide).
Randy deals marijuana, but claims to deal ecstasy and mushrooms when requested. He lives with a tremendous amount of guilt brought on by his mother's death and his brother's retardation. His guilt is fueled by continuous snide remarks from Yeval.
When the story begins, Randy is already on the threshold of insanity. As the story develops, it becomes apparent that Randy's mind is rarely at peace and is warping his sense of reality further. Lists of music albums as well as movies present Randy as someone who is extremely obsessive, and his random compliments to himself show his craving for esteem brought on by lack of confidence. His mood swings from chapter to chapter, and even within chapters, proves he is enormously erratic.
Yeval's beginning does not introduce Randy's conflicts, nor does the conclusion end them. For the most part, it begins and ends with a yearlong killing spree of the Seattle Slayer. This highlights a time period which is most difficult for Randy. As someone who sees the deaths of Slayer's victims in full detail, he feels responsible for them. Now, not only does Randy feel guilty for his mother's death 20 years earlier, but also the deaths of several others that fell and are falling victim to the Seattle Slayer.
Although Randy does not achieve all his goals or overcome all his conflicts, he is able to: 1) defeat the Seattle Slayer, 2) learn how to cope with his problems, and 3) be at peace with his mother's passing.
Randy's harbored anger is unleashed at several points throughout the novel. Most of the time, anger is taken out on those who don't deserve it such as fellow poker players and attractive women. When incensed, Randy occasionally makes offensive comments about women or homosexuals in order to cope with a situation that he has brought on himself. He often feels victimized when in a conflict he has started, and he feels responsible when in a conflict he has actually been victimized.
In the end, the Seattle Slayer is defeated and Randy falls back in love with his ex-girlfriend. However, this is at the price of his hand and it does not fully solve everything; but rather, it has been a journey of self-love and self-understanding.
• Randy Mulray – Primary protagonist
• Yeval – Primary antagonist
• Doctor Dwight Jenkins – Randy's psychologist
• Caroline – Randy's romantic interest
• Detective Marlon Lime – Seattle Slayer investigator
• Detective George Curtis – Seattle Slayer investigator
• Morgan – Randy's girlfriend
• Kenneth Mulray – Randy's father
• Ryan Mulray – Randy's brother
• Chief Harold Milton – Seattle Slayer investigator
• Louie – Randy's drug source
• Mrs. Mulray – Randy's mother
• Roberto – Louie's friend
• Sam – Randy's acquaintance (referenced only)
Writing for Yeval began as a screenplay back in 2005 and was eventually developed into a novel by 2007. On July 5, 2007, Yeval was released on paperback. On September 18, 2012, a Kindle Edition was released in promotion for Watch's upcoming premiere at the Gig Harbor Film Festival.
From May 25th, 2014 through May 25th, 2015, askDavid featured Yeval.
Despite Yeval not being critically recognized, the Utica Public Library put the novel on their list of Guy Lit along with many other contemporary classics. Georgina Parfitt of TowerBabel gave the book a ★★★★ (out of five) review, calling the overall structure well-paced, going on to explain that although it is an uncomfortable read, it is nonetheless "interesting, and highly thought-provoking, with moments of really moving writing."
Yeval is arguably a satire on the misleading depictions of graphic violence in pop-culture, mainly film and music (as well as the news and videogames)—though Schultz has stressed it is by no means a direct criticism or judgment of any person, group or work mentioned in the novel. Schultz acknowledges that the use of pop-culture references can be taken as a demonstration of how some people may cling onto fiction because fact/reality has rejected them, thus possibly causing a reenactment and/or misinterpretation of a work of fiction; but Schultz presses that the mentioned films and music are not there to be used as an example of glamorizing, sensationalizing or sugar-coating anything.
Just like with other stories written by Schultz, Yeval has ambiguity which lends itself to being interpreted differently amongst readers. Analyzing or dismissing certain elements—such as: the way the violence is used and changes throughout the story, the gradual adjustments in Seattle Slayer's modus operandi (MO), the use of pop-culture references, misogynistic and homophobic behavior from Randy, the ending, etc.—may result in differing perceptions of certain parts of the book or the story as a whole.
• The backwards spelling of Yeval is Lavey, or LaVey. LaVey is the surname of Anton LaVey, the founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan.
• Yeval was originally written as a screenplay that was over 160 pages in length, exceeding over 40 pages of the ideal screenplay. C. W. Schultz set the script aside after deciding there was nothing left to delete from the script. But after discovering transgressive fiction, Schultz was inspired to turn Yeval into a novel because a novel would allow him to really delve into the mind of Randy Mulray. Since using voice-overs in a script is a major turnoff for studios, Schultz did not get much of an opportunity to experiment with Randy's thought-process in the script—which excluded, in Schultz's opinion, a major element of the story of Yeval. Another way that Yeval being a novel worked in Schultz's favor is that it allowed him to involve literature into the discussion of violence in entertainment, which is generally focused on and targeted at movies, music and videogames.
• The book features two chapters of the poker game Texas Hold'em. Like Randy Mulray, author C. W. Schultz used to be an avid poker player. Many of the actual hands dealt in the novel are hands witnessed by Schultz, with exaggerated reactions added after Randy loses.
• The murder of Roberto was solely inspired by the Armin Meiwes case.
• The idea of the Seattle Slayer disguising himself with white paint is based on a real life incident that Schultz's mother told him about. Back in the early 1970s, Schultz's mother was robbed at the restaurant she worked at by a man wearing a similar disguise; though the man who robbed her had caked flour on his face, not paint.
Likelihood of a Sequel
There are currently no plans for a sequel. Schultz is not interested, explaining:
"No. I end a story because the story is over. If I wanted to continue the story, I would've simply made the book longer. Some people might call it a 'cliffhanger' ending. In a way, I guess it's fair to call it that. But in my eyes, it was simply just the right way to end it. When Ted Bundy fried in the electric chair, the world still had to meet Jeffrey Dahmer."

How is your wednesday going?
For me, so far, it is pretty dandy. My hubby has the day off work. (Yay!) I love these days. We are trying to decide what we all should do today... there are too many options! Should we drive out to the beach? Should we go to a park? Should we laze about the apartment like no one's business, and let me snag some rare editing time all to myself? Too, too many choices.
WIP Update:
It's coming along. What else can I say? I am a bit over halfway with this final polish round. I have set the goal to be done with it by this Friday. Which means a bit of reading still stacked in my coming days. But I must do it!
I slowed a bit. I am too nit picky. It is just so hard to accept that the sentence is the way it is. That none of my beta readers or editors said anything about it. And that I should just leave it alone. I want this thing to be as great as I can get it. But like a painting, if I add too many layers, it will just be muck. So, I have reigned myself in, given myself a deadline, and I will proclaim it is done very very soon.
(Barring life getting in the way. Such as my awesome date with hubby last night. We went and saw The Green Lantern. I don't know about you, but I really did like it. There was some character background I would have liked more of, but I can't complain too much. Plus, seeing Ryan Reynolds in that awesomely tight jumpsuit... it was nice.)
Speaking of deadlines:
My amazingly spectacular friend, Kimmel, hit hers! Let me tell you, this woman is quite something. She said her goal, laid out her deadline... and did it! Last week she officially finished her MS (Titled Transformation) and by late friday night, we were uploading it to CreateSpace so she could use that free coupon won from NaNoWriMo. By Monday, her book shipped!
I am so very proud of her. Here she was, not even sure she wanted to try this NaNo thing with me. And now she is an author. She has a great book out there, and is thoroughly addicted to this thing called writing. I can't wait to see where she goes next! Keep your eye out at her CreateSpace page for when Transformation is officially out for sale. Go Kimmel!
Now, last but most definitely not least:
I got my author photos back! If you remember, a bit over a month ago the very talented Vince James Photography did a writing-themed shoot... of me! This weekend I finally got them back. And boy, let me tell you, I love them! It is so weird seeing so many photos of just me. And even more weird: Liking pretty much all of them!
Want to see a few?
Here you go!

There are many more that I absolutely love. I will post a slideshow of them very soon, because I just can't NOT show them off. Vince, thank you again. You are amazing! Check out his site and his FB page to see more of his great work.
Now, off I go to enjoy the day. Happy writing!

'Singing the anthem stops players chewing gum' - Beckenbauer in veiled swipe at Ozil
Germany great Franz Beckenbauer has weighed in on the debate over the national team's failure at the World Cup, suggesting that the squad needed to be hungrier in veiled swipes at Mesut Ozil.
Joachim Low's side crashed out in the group stages in Russia, having suffered shock defeats against Mexico and South Korea.
Ozil was particularly targeted by the media as a reason for the failure, opening up a debate over racism towards the players of foreign-born heritage in the national team and leading him to quit international duty.
Editors' Picks
- Mourinho, Pep, Chelsea and the winners and losers of the Champions League last-16 draw
- 'I will grieve for my son my entire life' - Flamengo still dealing with fallout from fatal fire
- Too good to go down? Arsenal are sleepwalking into a relegation fight
- A broken club! Abject Arsenal ruthlessly exposed by Man City and De Bruyne
Beckenbauer, meanwhile, has claimed that there was a lack of desire from certain players.
"From the outside, I also had the impression that the passion had been somewhat watered down in the four years since the World Cup victory," he told Bild. "Therefore, a rebuild with hungry, hot players is needed.
"The singing of the national anthem also plays a role. Who sings before the game frees himself more than chewing gum."
While Ozil was not specifically named by the Bayern Munich legend, he has previously come in for criticism for not singing.
"While the anthem is being played, I pray, and I am sure that this will give us strength and confidence to drive the victory home," Ozil told Mission Titel in June.
"I think it's a pity if I or a teammate is convicted – because I'm sure people do not know why everyone does not sing along loudly."
He had previously raised the issues in his autobiography 'Die Magie des Spiels'.
"Just before kick-off, I pray. It's become a tradition of mine. It's always the same text. I pray in Turkish," he wrote. "I learnt these prayers as a child from my parents."
Beckenbauer's comments will, therefore, be viewed as another dig at Ozil, who quit the international game in the wake of the criticism he received in the fall out from Russia.
The Arsenal player turned out 92 times for Germany and scored 23 goals. In 2014, he helped them to World Cup glory in Brazil, a competition in which they beat Argentina 1-0 after extra-time in the final.
He is currently preparing to feature in Arsenal's opening Premier League fixture of the 2018-19 season, which comes on Sunday, August 12 against Manchester City.

Zuzanna Olszewska, "What can Afghan refugees teach us about the Islamic Republic of Iran?"
Recent ethnographies of post-revolutionary Iran have tended to focus on youthful expressions of discontent and rebellion against the Islamic state among middle-class urban dwellers, while taking little account of other socio-economic groups and subject positions in this vast country. But focusing on the treatment of the large population of Afghan refugees that exists on the margins of Iranian society offers intriguing possibilities for recognising that the Islamic Republic's current exercise of statecraft owes more to an opportunistic realpolitik than to Islamic solidarity. It also illustrates how the state has governed not only through coercion, but also through hegemonic persuasion and welfare provision that still hold legitimacy for many. Afghan refugees have experienced both opportunity and exclusion in Iran, and their conflicted subjectivities – revealed, for example, in their poetry – reflect both their fervent aspirations for upward mobility, and their bitter disappointments as aliens with a precarious legal status in the country.
Zuzanna Olszewska is Departmental Lecturer in Social Anthropology with special reference to the Middle East at the University of Oxford. Her doctoral work, examining poetic practice in relation to changes in subjectivity among Afghan refugees in Iran, will be published in a forthcoming book,The Pearl of Dari: Poetry and Personhood among Young Afghans in Iran. Her doctorate won the Foundation for Iranian Studies' annual dissertation award in 2010, and formed the basis for the Evans-Pritchard Lectures 2013 at All Souls College, Oxford. She has previously taught anthropology at Oxford and LSE, and is the author of numerous scholarly articles on Iran and Afghanistan, as well as translations of Persian-language Afghan poetry.

I whipped this meal up one night while the hub was away last week & boy oh boy was it tasty! First off, I love beets & fennel – so I was already pumped up for this meatless Monday dish! However, I added the burst of flavor with all the citrus fruits & it really took this salad to the next level!
Lets get roasting…
- Preheat oven to 400degrees & line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Prepare 1/2C quinoa per package directions – set aside
- Clean 4 beets & trim stalks off the fennel (toss) – dice up the beets & fennel heads to bite size pieces (~1inch cubes)
- Place beets/fennel on a lined cookie sheet, drizzle EVOO & toss with salt/pepper – bake for 45minutes or until beets are tender
- While baking, whisk together 1 minced shallot, 1/8C EVOO, 2T fresh lime juice, 2T fresh lemon juice, 1.5T orange juice & 1t dijon mustard
Remove baked veggies from oven, combine with quinoa in a large bowl & drizzle citrus vinaigrette on it to taste! I only used about a fourth of the dressing & saved the remainder for a salad the following day.

Rethinking the War on Cancer
A two-day symposium taking place today and tomorrow at Northwestern University, June 6 and 7, is bringing together internationally renowned scholars working at the intersection of the physical sciences and oncology to share insights about rethinking the War on Cancer.
Sponsored by Northwestern's Physical Sciences-Oncology Center, the events are taking place in the auditorium of the Pancoe Life Sciences Building, 2200 N. Campus Drive.
A standing-room-only crowd gathered early on Monday to hear talks by Alexander Ruthenburg from the University of Chicago, Peter Jones from the University of Southern California and Northwestern's Richard Carthew. Later sessions will feature presentations by Lucy Godley and Chuan He from the University of Chicago, Leonid Mirny of MIT, Frank Pugh of Penn State, Olivier Elemento of Cornell University and Ji-Ping Wang of Northwestern.
"Experienced and aspiring investigators are coming together inspired by the knowledge that a new understanding of cancer is necessary," said Jonathan Widom, the principal investigator of Northwestern's Physical Sciences-Oncology Center. "The center is based on the belief that such an understanding will help secure a conclusion to what has been a difficult and prolonged war."
Supported by a five-year, multi-million dollar grant from the National Cancer Institute, the Physical Sciences-Oncology Center represents a dramatic attempt to fundamentally rethink approaches to fighting cancer.
The center operates under the leadership of Widom, who holds the William Deering Professorship in Biological Sciences in the department of molecular bioscience, is a member of the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute and holds appointments in the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center and the departments of biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology; and Jonathan Licht, the center's senior co-investigator, chief of the division of hematology/oncology in the Feinberg School of Medicine and associate director for clinical sciences at the Lurie Cancer Center.
By importing techniques, ideas and methods from the physical sciences into the unfamiliar terrain of tumor biology and oncology, the center and its eleven sibling research centers are creating new insights into cancer by revealing the physical and chemical forces shaping the emergence and progression of the disease at all levels.
"Breaking from the orthodoxy of established thought, the center is eschewing cell- and organ-specific studies to develop a systemic or global understanding of how cancer functions from carcinogenesis to metastasis," the center's senior co-investigator Licht said.
The reappraisal underway at the center is undergirded by a series of analytical approaches, including nano- and sub-atomic microscopy, advanced optics, mathematical modeling and high-level computational power that will generate the raw data necessary to solving perplexing and lethal riddles.
"The importance of the center's work is best highlighted by the elusive nature of cancer itself," said Will Kazmier, education, training and outreach coordinator in Northwestern's Chemistry of Life Processes Institute.
"Forty years after President Richard Nixon famously opened a "war on cancer" that has required the commitment of enormous financial and scientific resources, survival rates for most forms of the disease remain largely unchanged," he added.–Pat Vaughn Tremmel

Custom Work
Custom work is always a fun experience. It is almost always something with great meaning, like an engagement or anniversary, and takes a lot of care and thought to convey the exact message of the commission. Below are some examples of commissioned works along with their descriptions. I would be happy to talk to you about making something completely one of a kind for your special event!
This commissioned ring was an experience for both my customer and myself. I made this ring based on a previous pendant idea, playing with the multitude of colors and saturations in tourmaline. We decided to go with a "old meets new" design utilizing bead setting, milgrain edging and an intricate under gallery layout. After assembling, polishing, and setting the stones we were both enamored by the ring. I convinced them to let me enter it into the AGTA spectrum awards. One morning I got a call from the AGTA telling me that the ring had won "Best use of color" in the awards this year. My customer was beyond excited as was I. It felt great to have the opportunity to design and create an award winning piece of jewelry with a good customer.
This beautiful pendant was a custom commission. It features a bi-color tourmaline from the Himalaya mine in California, and is surrounded by Maine tourmalines from Newry, Mt Mica, and the Havey Quarry. I really enjoyed playing with the color gradients, tourmaline is a wonderful gemstone that give so many different color palates to work with,This commission was based on the two bright green gemstones at the top of these earrings. They are highly collectable Russian Demantoid Garnets. I wanted to do something to accentuate the vivid color and rarity so we added the fancy intense yellow diamonds, some tsavorites garnets, and set them all in 18kt. The earrings strike a wonderful balance and have a really clean design.I was greatly honored to design around and set the stones in this pair of earrings. The bright orange colored Spessartine garnets were faceted by award winning lapidary Stephen Kotlowski. I wanted to do something out of the ordinary for stones cut by such a master. I decided on a rare stone to compliment the stunning orange hue of the garnets, Benitoite. Benitoite is only mined in California and is extremely rare, the best color rivaling the best vivid blue of sapphire. As you can see the benitoites are perfectly matched and compliment the spessartine garnets perfectly. Sitting atop each earring is a one carat diamond.

If there's one thing that San Mateo has no shortage of, it's Japanese restaurants. I can think of ten within a two mile radius of downtown (and that's not counting the two Japanese supermarkets in the area). As a result, competition is fierce, and Sushi Sam's Edomata appears to be the most popular.
The tables were packed when I visited on a weeknight, though I was seated pretty quickly. I quickly decided on agedashi tofu to start, while I waited for my sushi to be assembled.
Agedashi tofu is one of my favorite Japanese dishes, and this was one of the best preparations I've had. The caramel-colored agedashi broth was light and packed with umami, and the lightly-fried soft tofu was ethereal. The bonito flakes and green onions gave it all an extra dimension of texture and flavor.
For the sushi, my dining companion and I split an order of tekka maki, kampyo maki, Philadelphia roll and an ebi tempura hand roll.
The tuna was fresh and buttery, and the ebi tempura was tasty as well. The Philadelphia roll was by far my least favorite, mostly because I really, really don't like cream cheese in my sushi. The kampyo maki, or cooked calabash gourd maki, was good: slightly sweet and chewy.
Prices are more expensive than average at Sushi Sam's, so be forewarned. The fish quality is top-notch, though the sushi menu selection is pretty average.
They offer omakase (chef's choice) as well, which I've heard is out of this world. While I wasn't blown away by the dinner menu, I may find myself coming back to try out the omakase. At Sushi Sam's, it seems that the sushi bar is the main attraction.

No one is happier than this girl to not only see this face again, but to see it bearing a grin.
Alright. Now that I've gotten that out of the way… Seeing as how Timmmmaaaay is returning tomorrow night, I thought it might be interesting to examine his case.
If you asked me if I could sum up Connolly's career in one word, I'd chose unfortunate, the definition of which states that it is something marked or accompanied by or resulting in ill fortune. Tim Connolly is incredibly gifted and is a fantastic hockey player, but the poor guy has had more injuries that I can count.
The serious ones began back in his junior year, while playing down the 90 in Erie, with the Otters. In the 1998-99 season, Connolly broke his leg during a game, resulting in a rod being placed in his tibia.
This injury hardly affected his draft status, as the New York Islanders took him fifth overall that year. Despite just coming off of his broken leg, Connolly made the team out of camp. He played 81 games in his rookie season, recording only 10 goals, but snagging 20 assists for 34 points on the year. Not too shabby for a rookie, especially in the Old NHL, but more would definitely be expected of a first-round pick.
In his sophomore season, Connolly appeared in all 82 games, this time posting 10 goals, but 31 assists, improving his points total to a high 41.
The summer after that season, Tim was attending the high school graduation of his younger twin sisters, Caitlin and Shannon. Their graduation coincided with the second day of the NHL Entry Draft. Connolly admitted being excited, due to NYI's acquisition of Alexei Yashin and Chris Osgood, and since the first day is usually when the wheeling and dealing occurs, he was completely shocked when GM Mike Milbury called–during the ceremony–to tell him that he and Taylor Pyatt had been sent packing to Buffalo, in exchange for Mike Peca.
So, Connolly suited up in the red and black. In his first season for the Sabres, Connolly again played all 82 games, but struggled to produce, improving on his previous totals, but hardly significantly. He scored 10 goals again, and tallied 35 assists, heightening his points total by four to 45.
In his fourth career season–second with the Sabres–Connolly severly underachieved, only netting 12 goals and 13 assists, for 25 points. Tim appeared in 80 games, and only missed the last two of the season due to a suspension, warranted due to swinging a stick at an opponent.
At this point in time, Tim looked reliable, at least health-wise. He was one of the leading Iron Men in the league, playing over 300 straight games (I believe he had a run of over 320, but I can't find the exact number, and I think that put him at third in the rank).
But it all went downhill from there.
In the preseason of the 2003-2004 season, the Sabres were playing an exhibition game against the Chicago Blackhawks. This is what Tim had to say:
I took a mid-ice, shoulder-to-head hit with Scott Nichol from the Blackhawks. It was a clean hit, but I had just taken a shot, so I was in a vulnerable position where I couldn't really brace myself. I didn't get knocked out, I skated to the bench, but I was out of it. My legs gave out a little bit. I had never suffered a concussion before, but it was one of those situations where it wouldn't go away. It took more than six months before my head was clear and I was able to work out and get back in the swing of things. (From ESPN.com)
Needless to say, as I'm sure you're all well aware, Tim missed that entire season.
Cue the lockout. Tim opted to play in Switzerland, with HC Lugano. There, he played 16 games, had seven goals and three assists. His stay in Europe was cut short, though, due to a knee injury.
So Tim returned to New York, and rehabbed his knee to be sure that it would be ready for the upcoming NHL season.
In 2005-2006, Connolly was limited to 63 games in the regular season, due to a controversial knee injury. This happened when Darius Kasparaitis, then of the New York Rangers, checked Connolly low, causing him to miss time. In this season, though, Connolly recorded 16 goals and 39 assists, combining for 55 points, career highs across the board. At this point in time, he was registering .87 points per game. Hardly anything to sneeze at.
In his first playoff appearance, Connolly only played in 8 games, but registered five goals and six assists for 11 points, which would be 1.375 points per game. He did not conclude the Sabres' playoff push with them, though, because he suffered a second concussion, thanks to a vicious, but clean, hit, from the Ottawa Senators' Peter Schaefer, now with the Boston Bruins.
Because of problems thought to be related to his second concussion, Connolly sat out all but the last two games of the 2006-2007 season. In those last two games, he recorded one goal.
In the playoffs that year, though, Tim played 16 games, recording nine assists.
On to the 2007-2008 season. Connolly struggled throughout the year with bone spurs in his hip, which eventually required surgery. He suited up for only 48 games, scoring only seven goals, adding 33 helpers, but in the end only posted 40 points. Obviously more is needed from Connolly, whose points per game total for the season then sat at .83.
Thus far this season, Connolly has had fractured vertebrae and a broken rib, limiting him to only six of the the Sabres' 40 games. In those six games, though, Connolly has put up two goals and five assists, for a points per game average of 1.167.
None of this goes to show how skilled Connolly is, though. He has long been Ruff's PP QB, and always sees ice time on the PK. His teammates will always say how gifted he is, and how difficult he can be to play against.
But what do his numbers really mean to us? Why is he valuable to this team?
Let's allow his career totals to do the talking, shall we? In the nine seasons Connolly was with an NHL team (the season he missed due to concussion symptoms and the current season included), he's only played 444 of a possible 696 games (only 63.8%). In those games, he's recorded 72 goals and 176 assists, for a total of 248 points. That's only an average of .558 points per game, which would equate to 45.8 points on a season.
Like I said, I love Tim Connolly more than the next Sabres fan. I have since we acquired him, but that's a whole 'nother story. My point is, his numbers suck. They definitely do not portray the player we all know Connolly has the potential to be. The problem is, he is so injury-plagued that he probably will never live up to his own expectations, let alone ours.
But I'm glad to see he'll be back tomorrow. Our power play sure as hell needs him, and it wouldn't hurt to have a center who can really see the ice and find good passing lanes out there.
The question remains, how much longer will Timmy be wearing blue and gold? Will he be gone by the trade deadline? Is he going to leave that day? Over the summer? Or will he stay with us? Your guess is as good as mine, seeing as how Afinogenov is a bigger problem, and Kotalik would probably garner the most interest from other teams. It doesn't hurt that the coaching staff loves Connolly. If he does stay, though, he'd better be willing to take a sizeable pay cut, because there is no way, talent aside, that a guy that injury-riddled deserves a salary of $2.9 million per season.
Speaking of trades, there are rumors spreading up in Portland. They've hit a snag this season with goaltending, as Adam Dennis recently required season-ending hip surgery. That means Jhonas Enroth has been shouldering all of the duties, now coming up on his (I believe) 11th game in a row.
Their need of a goalie, combined with the Sabres' supposed interest in keeping Chris Butler (we'll see about that one) and Matt Ellis up in Buffalo, would obviously present the Sabres with a predicament. In order to keep extra bodies up in the NHL, they'd have to clear roster space. The obvious bodies to move would be Afinogenov and Paetsch, Max for obvious reasons, and Paetsch because he's the odd man out. Kotalik and Connolly could also be moved due to contract years, but that's hardly likely; Kotalik is a force on this team, and Connolly has virtually no stock.
Maine Hockey Journal reported that Kevin Dineen, the coach of the Portland Pirates, had some interesting sound bytes one the subject, suggesting the Buffalo brass have something in the works:
"(Goalie search) has been put off for a reason and won't be clarified til Friday at the earliest," said Dineen.
It'll be interesting to see what happens, that's for sure.
And seeing as Derek Roy actually called up Kiss 98.5 this morning, I can tell you what he had to say. Honestly, though, I think this is the first actual D.R.R. in about a month, mostly due to the holidays falling on Thursdays…
– Andrew Peters' thumb is bruised, was bleeding yesterday, and it still hurts.
– Derek suggested that Andy's fingers taste like chicken wings.
– He says you shouldn't bite people unless your life is in danger. Nick added, "Unless you're on Chippewa."
– He's excited to play against Chris Drury.
– Is he doing anything differently? No. He's sticking with his system.
– VitaminWater flavor? Endurance/Mango.
– Sometimes works out after games.
– January has a ridiculous travel schedule. He may just leave his suitcase packed.
– Doesn't have any pets.
– Did he send a baby gift to Rob Ray? No.
– He was 3 when he first skated. His brothers were about that age as well. He was awful, falling everywhere. Couldn't stop until he was "like 10 years old."
Finally, he called them, and finally some oddball information.
Well, kids, it snowed again. Big surprise. I'm off to shovel, and the hopefully I'll feel spry enough to head to the gym. That's my plan, at least. I'll be back if I hear any juicy information.

While strolling on Shattuck we heard some boss cars and managed to get two shots of this Cobra
While strolling on Shattuck we heard some boss cars and managed to get two shots of this Cobra
This old Citroen was seen in Venice CA today (October 23, 2009) getting a frontal shot of it looked to be more bother than it would be worth, so we cranked off a telephoto shot and said "good enough."
(Pasadena CA) A smorgasbord of new unrelated facts and events that started a week ago now add up to a chance, for one particular columnist, to augment his continuing effort to provide freelance journalism criticism, cover Jeb Bush's effort to restore the Bush Dynasty to its rightful place in the Oval Office, watch a town other than Berkeley draw the attention of freedom of speech activists, provide some "inside baseball" news for bloggers, draw attention to the contention that attorney Richard Fine may possibly be considered a political prisoner in the USA, with a simultaneous effort to promote the writer's new hometown as the unrivaled car-spotting capital of the world.
After moving in on a Friday afternoon, one particular song kept popping up in his mind. On a Saturday morning stroll following coffee and a scan of the Los Angeles Times, the columnist had not been walking down Colorado Blvd., two minutes before he saw a deuce (1932 Ford) roadster. Three minutes later a deuce coupe followed.
When an invitation to join the National Society of Newspaper Columnists arrived in the e-mail in box on Monday, it seemed that, based on previous information, that perhaps it was time to visit the offices of the Pasadena Star News and inquire about the possibility of getting a gig writing about the process of a new citizen discovering the charms of this famous city.
The regular Monday night session of the local city council was devoted to swearing in new members and taking a new official picture.
Plans to wage a campaign to have the aforementioned song designated as the official city song were scrapped when, after contacting the city clerk's office, it was learned that the city had already named a different tune as their official song.
A Ted Rall cartoon in the Pasadena Weekly gave a heads-up that the next city council meeting might draw the attention of freedom of speech activists, rekindled hopes of getting a gig taking a fresh look at the city that is home to college football's most famous game.
Every day in the new area produced at least one remarkable instance of happy car-spotting. Two Cobras (or replicas?) had been seen. A Nash Metropolitan, a sedan that from the side and going away seemed to be a 1931 four door Chevrolet sedan, and some powerful sounding newer cars indicated that it might be a good idea to advocate Pasadena as the car-spotting capital of the world and possibly entering into a media feud with the car-spotting photos editor for a leading web source of news and pictures of interest to automobile enthusiasts.
Many of the cars seen in the Pasadena area are in what car collectors call "cherry" condition, while those featured on-line by the photographer scouring Alhambra find cars that are obviously in daily use.
There are other sites for car-spotters on-line, including one that is not geographic specific, Madwhips, but seems open to submissions from around the world. (Yeah, but did they have photo coverage of Summer Nats?)
At this point, an effort to do some fact-checking on old information produced the news that the National Society of Newspaper Columnists had changed its rules and that Internet columnists were eligible for membership, caused a reevaluation of the need for doing the work necessary to catch the attention and approval of the editor of the local newspaper.
If an on-line columnist can now join the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and be eligible to attend their national convention, which will be held this year in Ventura on June 25 to 28, 2009, then it might be time to "cut to the chase" as they say in Hollywood and immediately apply for membership.
The NSNC web site has a page-full of links for those members who live in the cusp area of being both newspaper content providers and bloggers. The possibility of being listed on that page is yet another solid reason for considering joining the group.
Max Lerner said (wrote?): "A politician wouldn't dream of being allowed to call a columnist the things a columnist is allowed to call a politician."
Now, the disk jockey will play the 1923 song "Home in Pasadena." We'll go get the digital camera and shoot some photos that will put Alhambra fans to shame. Have the kind of week that will get your membership application approved by the Anaheim, Azusa, and East Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review, and Timing Association." (Ask a Jan and Dean fan about that group if you must.)
Some group on Flickr asked if they could use some of my photos of cars and trucks in San Francisco
I said yes, so they now appear on that page also. There were other pictures of old cars taken in San Francisco, but they didn't ask about them. The captions don't say those extra pictures were taken in San Francisco. So maybe I have to put the city name in all the photos?
Now, I wonder if Jalopnik and their DOTS department would give any publicity to a strickly SF group?
I'll post some new pictures of a 38 Ford truck taken in SF and see if they want them for the SF car-spotters page on Flicker.
Life can get so complicated, eh?
For car-spotters seeing a 1930 Model J Duesenberg dual cowl phaeton, is like a baseball player getting a walk-off grand slam . . . in the last game of the World Series!
On Sunday , March 15, we were riding on a bus on Van Ness in San Francisco. We saw some old cars in a building there and so we hopped off. It was the Accademy of Art University and they were displaying some old cars in what looked like a former new car dealer show room.
What are the rules of car-spotting? We didn't see it for sale. We didn't see it in a museum. Is there a whistle on the play? Does it count? It sure was fun to see it.
What are the official rules of Car-spotting? It seems that seeing a car in an antique car store (we saw a 40 Ford DeLuxe coupe in such a store in Santa Monica recently) shouldn't really count. Seeing a rare car in a museum, doesn't seem to qualify either, but what about if you see a very rare car in an art school's window that is part of an art exhibit? Should that count?
