Hello, Saints,
Lately, I have been working diligently on Part 6: "Preparation of the Bride" of my eBook (to be). There will be at least three chapters in Part 6 . . . more than I initially imagined. Our Father has been unmistakably showing and teaching me what we must know and do preparing for the return of His son, Yeshua. This topic has been all I was allowed to study for the past ten months. And, can you guess what it might be about?
It is all about "Deception" . . . , and nothing else.
After almost a year of intense research on what is "really" going on in the world today, and connecting the findings with the biblical prophecies, I am still overwhelmed with the new "eye-opening" things I have learned and the realization that how they all connect with the biblical prophecies so perfectly. I am being finally able to put some of that in writing, feeling somewhat relieved. Of course, the work is still ongoing . . . there is much to watch, learn, and write.
Today, I am publishing this, sort of a "side-kick," article to prepare you and provide some supportive evidence for what I discuss in the chapter. It is with hope that this video I am presenting and the discussions that follow it will stir and wake you up to the deadly trap that has been set before us by the father of lies, Satan. Well, however, the problem is that it may not be "before" us any more, but it is all around us; and you may be right in the middle of it, being unable to see that you are trapped. If so, we must come out of it before the door closes on us. "It is time to know the truth," says our Father, and He is calling us out.
Revelation 18:4-5 NKJV
(4) And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. (5) "For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Ready for the truth?
The following video is presented by Rabbi Hadassah Ryklin, at Messianic Temple Beth El, Brooklyn, NY. First, please be informed that I do not know Rabbi Ryklin personally and have no intention to personally criticize or attack her. The critiques I will discuss in this article are strictly regarding the "content" of her teaching and what we plainly see in the video. It is also not my intention to label her with any particular ideology or to claim that she belongs to any particular organization I mention in this article.
Now, when we watch her teaching on the differences between the "Christian Messiah, Jesus Christ" and the "Jewish Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach," there are many things that cause our spirit to go, "Uh-uh, don't think so." Or, at least, you should feel, "There is something wrong about what she is saying . . but not sure what it is . . ?" Let me give you some guidelines to help you.
Here is what I would like you to be thinking and questioning while you watch this short video:
- What exactly is she trying to convince you with by this teaching?
- What is wrong with the decoration behind her?
- What are her misstatements or misunderstanding about "Christian Jesus?"
- What are the mistakes about her statements on "Jewish Messiah Yeshua?"
- Is this Hebraic Roots Movement?
- If not, what are the difference between the "Messianic Jewish" and "Hebrew Roots" Movements?
If you are not so sure about any of these questions after watching the video, don't worry. You are not alone. We are all waking up together now. But, I would like to make it clear in this article, and further in my new chapter for Part 6, titled, "Yeshua is Not a Jew," that it is a deadly mistake for any Christian to not know the answers to the questions I listed above.
Deceptions will get worse:
Matthew 24:24
(24)"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
In order not to be counted among the "deceived" elect, we must know the deception of the Messianic Jewish Movement.
Now, let us watch the video:
Well . . . , hope you made it through . . . There could be many things to discuss about this presentation. But, let us start with the obvious.
The following summary will address the key points, and I will add short comments as my answers to each point; and it will follow this format: "Her statements or behavior" — My responses.
Summary of Key Points
A. My observations:
- "She calls herself "Rabbi'" – Yeshua commanded not to be called "Rabbi" ("my great one"): "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren." Matthew 23:8 (NKJV). Yeshua is the only One who is worthy to be called "Rabbi."
- "She has the Israeli flag behind her" – The star of david (intentionally not capitalized) is a symbol of Kabbalah, an ancient satanic cult, and "david" is not the King David in the Bible.[1] It has nothing to do with him, instead, it is used in the flag because the coat of arm of the powerful and wealthy family, the Rothschild ("red shield" in German) has the hexagram in it.[2] They created the current State of Israel, to make it a "Jewish" state, by political manipulations and force. They are the head of the Illuminati, and their Israeli nationalism is called the "Zionism." Whoever supports the State of Israel today is a Zionist.
B. She is discrediting the Christian Messiah, Jesus, and recreating the "Jewish" Messiah, which is actually an anti-Christ (I do not mean the Ant-Christ of the Bible)
I say this because it is impossible for our Messiah Yeshua/Jesus to be a "Jew."
- "The Jews" in the New Testament means "the Judeans," and Yeshua and Apostle Paul called the leaders of the Judeans, which are the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the Sanhedrin (elders), "the Judeans." The word, "the Jews," does not mean the House of Judah, but means "the Judeans," who practice the Judaism (not the teaching of Moses but by Halakha, Talmud, and Rabbinic teaching). It is a Babylonian false religion that was developed during the Babylonian exile (589 – 538 BC) that looks like based on Torah on the surface, but it is not so. It only had an appearance of following the teaching of Moses, but in reality, they practiced Babylonian paganized satanic religion, called "Kabbalah," and followed their own traditions and rabbinic teachings, which Yeshua our Messiah severely rebuked and condemned. Yeshua our Messiah did not practice or approve the Judaism. Yeshua was neither a Judean nor a Judaism practitioner, therefore, He cannot be the "King of the Jews" . . Period.
- The modern day "Jews" are not Israelites. They are mainly the descendants of the Khazars who converted to the Judaism the Pharisees practiced in ca. 740 AD. Probably over 90% of them do not have any Israelite/Semitic DNA. They are children of Japheth, not of Shem ("The Thirteenth Tribe" by Arthur Koestler; "The missing Link of Jewish Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypothesis" by Eran Elhaik, Ph.D.).
C. She is attacking the false Christianity (Catholicism), but not the true Christianity
- "Jesus is the Founder of Christianity" — He did not found anything. He came to tell us Who He was and to do what He was supposed to do to fulfill the Scripture (the Old Testament). Also, what she calls Christianity in this video sounds a lot like the Catholicism, which is paganism, and not Christianity in a true sense, which is in an essence consists of believers and disciples of Yeshua as the Son of God, and as our Messiah, who was crucified for our sin and resurrected to give us eternal life. And true Christians do not practice paganism.
- "He worshiped on Sunday" — Constantine, ca. 330 AD, decided that Christians worship the sun god on Sundays, but not YHVH. Yeshua never worshipped any one on Sundays.
- "Christian tradition teaches that he was born on Christmas Day" — It is a false teaching by the false Christians (Catholicism) again. If you still celebrate Christmas, REPENT! You are worshipping the sun god, Baal/Molech/Saturn/Zeus/Odin/Dragon/Satan/Lucifer, and his phallus, which is the Christmas tree, also the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil" (Kabbalistic Tree of Life), Satan himself.
- "Christian tradition teaches that He was resurrected on a Christian holiday, Easter, died on the Good Friday, and rose on the Sunday morning" — It is also a false teaching by false Christians. She is correct that these are the traditional false teaching. But in addition, she is trying to say that "Easter" is a false holiday and strictly Christian, not Jewish or according to the Judaism, implying that Judaism is more biblical; therefore, Judaism is better than Christianity.
- "Pentecost was on Sunday" — I am not sure what she means by this, but probably, she wants to emphasize the fact that Christians traditionally celebrate on Sundays. If He were resurrected on a Sunday, the Pentecost (7 Sabbaths later) would have been on a Sunday.
- "He was a blonde man with blue eyes" — Once again, she is ridiculing the false teachings and myths taught by the false Christians. Yes, our Lord was supposed to be a Semitic Middle Eastern man, who would have had darker hair and darker skin. Caucasian looking Messiah was also a concoction of the early false Christians. Those portraits of "Jesus" from old were invariably done by Catholic influenced artists, and are often with a sun disk over the head, with occult hand signs, and Roman garments. They are obviously not the way Yeshua our Messiah would have looked like.
Please note that those "Christian traditions" are all "FALSE" teaching and deceptions also, and that is what she is claiming to be "Christianity."
D. She is portraying Yeshua as the "cause" of the anti-Semitism among Christians
- "He was killed by the Jews" — Yes, the Jews = the Judeans, but not by the Jews of today. She is alluding to 1 Thessalonians 2:14, where Paul is recorded to have said that "the Jews" killed our Lord. This misinterpretation also seems to have been intentional so that it would provoke the feeling of so called "anti-Semitism" among Christians. This was done as a part of the plot to make Christians feel guilty of anti-Semitism later. But, again, anti-Semitism is a tool of the modern-day Illuminati Jews to attack and silence their oppositions and truth tellers (B'Nai Brith or Anti-Defamation League, ADL), despite the fact that they are not Semitic.
- "He inspired anti-Semitism, Spanish Inquisitions, pogroms, killing Jews" — Early Illuminati/Jesuit Christians did those things based on their intentional misinterpretation of 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15, but they were not true Christians, but many were crypto-Jews, who had converted to Christianity (mainly Catholicism) to subvert Christianity. They were Illuminati agents also. The same people as the one who call themselves "the Jews" today. As a matter of fact, the earliest form of the Illuminati, "Alumbrados," a mystical heretic cult, was originated by a crypto-Jew, Ignatious of Loyola, and was related to the Jesuit. Anti-Semitism has been their main tool to get their way, and it was the "motivator" for the Zionism ("Der Judenstat," means "The Jewish State" by Theodor Herzl 1896)
- "He commanded Torah to be burned, kill Jews, burn rabbis" — We all know that Yeshua never did command to do such things. But it was the Illuminati/Jesuit Christians who instigated such acts.
- "He and his disciples ate pork, shrimp, and shellfish" — There is no record of this. Apostle Peter might have eaten some so-called "unclean food" as recorded in Acts 10 and Galatians 1, but it was after the Crucifixion and Resurrection. That means it was after the Old Testament law was fulfilled by our Messiah; therefore Peter did nothing wrong. I don't think Yeshua ate those food, nor Paul, according to the New Testament. First of all, however, what is wrong with eating those things? – Nothing, unless one is allergic to any of them. Only the legalistic Judaism, and may be Islam, forbids eating such food by man-made oral traditions, rules, and regulations. Believers in Yeshua can eat anything.
- "He and His Disciples were anti-Semi" — There she goes again. "The Jews" (the Judeans) of Yeshua's days might have had some Semitic DNA, but not most of "the Jews" of today (this is discussed in depth in Part 6-Cahpter1). If I may, our Lord and His Disciples were "anti-Judaism," and who are the Semitic people? Yeshua and His disciples were the ones who were Semitic, sons of Shem. Why would they be anti-Semitic? The modern-day Jews are most likely not sons of Shem, but sons of Japheth. So, scientifically, the accusation of snit-Semitism does not apply.
E. What she says about the "Messianic Jewish" version of Yeshua HaMashiach
- "Yeshua HaMashiach is the Messiah of Israel" — But the Jews are not Israel. The true Israel must have both Houses of Israel and Judah reunited (Part 5: "One New Man"), and they must be born again and refined through the Great Tribulation. The true biblical "Nation of Israel" will be "resurrected" after the Tribulation. The current "State of Israel" is nothing but the fleshly coerced existence, and the people who live there may not even be children of Israel ("The Inventin of the Jewish People" by Shlomo Sand, Ph.D.)
- "He worshiped on Shabbat" — He is the Shabbat, the Lord of Sabbath, and He is the One to be worshipped.
- "He is the King of the Jews" — As I said earlier, it cannot be. Yeshua HaMashiach has never been a Jew. And He is the King of all the Earth.
- "He kept Shabbat not Sunday" — He did not keep Jewish law. He is the Law, Torah, and the Lord of the Sabbath, and the Jewish law is rebellious against His Commandments (Mat 15:2-3, 6).
- "He Kept Rosh Chodesh, HaMoedim" — Again, He did not keep any Jewish laws the way the Jews did. In fact, He repeatedly showed what was wrong with the Jewish laws. And, observing the "biblical" Moedim and prophetic customs does not make "anyone" a Jew. But, if you are bound by the Jewish laws ("under the law"), and follow their customs the way they do, then, you are Judaized.
- "He ate Kosher Food" — The word and the custom, "Kosher," came later by the Rabbinic law, and the food has to be approved by a rabbi according to the strict Jewish rules. It has "nothing" to do with Yeshua our Lord. Yeshua does not need any approval by a rabbi to eat anything. He is the real Law, and theirs is diabolical.
- "He worshipped at Temple, and Synagogue" — It is not true. He went to Temple and synagogues to show the Jews what they were doing wrong, and to break "their" laws to show them. Remember, He kept healing His people on Sabbath and got on the nerves of the Pharisees, as you read in the Gospels of John and Matthew especially? And He said He was the Temple. He would not worship Himself. As Stephen said in Acts 7, the Jews were worshiping themselves and the Temple as idolatry.
- "He was born during the Feast of Tabernacles, "Sukkot" – It is true, but it does not make Him a Jew (one who practices the Judaism).
- "He was resurrected on the Feat of the Firstfruits, "HaBikkurim" — So? It will not make Him a Jew either. He was fulfilling the prophecies that only He could have fulfilled according to the Word of the Father. It has "nothing" to do with the Jewish law.
Calling the Feast in Hebrew will not make you more sophisticated and spiritual Christians. It is not wrong to do that "if" you are doing it according to the Bible, and "not" because it sounds good and "Jewish." If so, it is called "Judaizing." I do, however, encourage everyone to study Biblical Hebrew by all means. But you should not learn it in the way the Judaism teaches. What the Judaism teaches are mostly Kabbalistic, mystical, and esoteric in nature, such as gematria and symbolism, which are based on the diabolical revelations. We must be extremely careful with things like this, as the line between the biblical Hebrew and the occult teaching tends to blur.
She is trying to "fit" Yeshua to the Judaism, Jewish law and customs, and "Judaize" Him. She is trying to make Him a Jewish messiah, which He will never be. Or, one could be suspicious that she and the Messianic Jews, who preach similar heresies, may be trying to create an image of "another" messiah. They preach the same heresies with the same propaganda in unison all across the board, as if it is orchestrated.
Please know this in your heart that the Jews of modern days (The Illuminati, Orthodox, Ultraorthodox/Chabad-Lubavitch sect, and the Messianic Jews) use those biblical terminologies, but they have "nothing" to do with the true teaching of Moses. They are superficial and there is no heart in it, and very legalistic and worship Satan in private. Some of them who are highly satanic, but not all of them, sacrifice babies and adult humans on some Feast days, and on Yom Kippur, they swear that they are forgiven and released of all the false oath and vows they made in the past year.[3] They are "Judaizing" Yeshua, and Christians too through the Messianic Jewish Movement. And, "Judaizing" means conforming to the custom and traditions of the Judaism.
It will never happen; Yeshua HaMashiach will not look like a Jewish rabbi when He returns.
But, here is a question: Are you Judaized?
G. "Typical" Zionistic statements of Messianic Jews she made
- "Yeshua loves Jewish people and Israel" – Not all of them. Many of them are His enemies.
- "Yeshua fights against the enemies of Israel" – Yes. But, He fights against the enemies of TRUE Israel, to be resurrected "Nation of Israel," which has been in making for 2000 years, not the false Jewish "State of Israel." And, "the enemies" happen to be the Majority of the Jews!
- "Yeshua saves Jewish people" – Only if they repent.
I must clearly state here that not all the Jews are aggressive Zionists. And as a matter of fact, many Jews in and out of Israel oppose to and condemn the Zionism. It is because they know how forceful and brutal what the Zionists are doing to the peoples surrounding Israel. But . . . , aggressive Zionists and those who are actively promoting the Zionism are mostly Jews. There are some non-Jews who are strong Zionists, but they almost always belong to Illuminati organizations such as Freemasons. Some (false) Christian leaders are passionate Zionists, such as John Hagee, Mike Huckabee, Rick Warren, and so are almost all of who are visible and influential. They are to be NOT trusted. I will write more on them in the Chapter 2 of Part 6.
I have collected several videos on Zionism and organized them in a way that tells a story, and provided a brief commentary on each video HERE also. Please take time to educate yourself on Zionism.
There may be some Messianic Jews who are true believers, but what they are doing is wrong; they are Judaizers, being conformed to the traditions, customs, and laws of the Judaism. We must be keenly aware that the same people, the Illuminati and their agents, are doing both: Teaching false Christianity and promoting Messianic Jewish deception. Therefore, "Be wise as serpent" (Mat 10:16).
I strongly encourage everyone to read the chapter I am publishing soon, and "understand" the deception and "know" their tactics and lies. We must be prepared to explain to those who are still sleep and help them come out of the deception. This is one of the serious deceptions of this hour. And, please, spread the word; send the links to this article and the chapter 1 to your family and brethren. And, I repeat: "Be wise as serpents."
The questions 5. and 6. I listed in the beginning:
5. Is this Hebraic Roots Movement?
6. If not, what are the difference between Messianic Jewish and Hebrew Roots Movements?
. . . will be addressed in depth in the article, Part 6 – Chapter 1. "Yeshua is Not a Jew"

- a. Kabbalah – "Although scholars have attempted to trace the Star of David back to King David himself; to Rabbi Akiva and the Bar Kokhba ["son of the star"] rebellion [135 C.E.]; or to *kabbalists, especially Rabbi Isaac Luria (16th century), no Jewish literature or artifacts document this claim. Rather, all evidence suggests that the early use of the hexagram was limited to "practical Kabbalah," that is, Jewish magic, probably dating back to the 6th century C.E. Legends connect this symbol with the "Seal of Solomon," the magical signet *ring used by King Solomon to control demons and spirits. 2 Although the original ring was inscribed with the Tetragrammaton, the sacred Four-Letter *Name of God, medieval *amulets imitating this ring substituted the hexagram or pentagram [five-pointed star], often accompanied by rampant *lions, for the sacred Name. The star inscribed on these rings was usually called the "Seal of Solomon." — An Excerpt from http://www.menorah.org/starofdavid.html.Also, the following video will explain it's occult origin in detail: The Truth ABouth The Star of David": It's Origin and Connection to the Mark of the Beast. The secret Zionist Jewish Prime Minister of Great Britain, Benjamin Disraeli, was so impressed with the Khazar Messiah, David Alroy, that he wrote the historic novel The Wondrous Tale of Alroy [London, 1833]" http://www.geocities.com/realitycf/disraeli.html. b. Star of David – "David Alroy was the false Messiah during the Khazar Zionist movement of the 12th century. It is said that the Star of David–the "hexagram" to the occult–was named after this David, not the Biblical King David as is assumed. The Khazars were a superior Gogi peoples who were well on their way to world rule through what is known to historians as the Kok-Turk [or Gog-Turk] empire. You wouldn't need to stretch my imagination much to convince me that some of the Red Jews of Khazaria married Gogi Khazars to produce a Hebrew-Gogi people. Perhaps the Rothschilds were such, as that could explain why they might have worked alongside the Drummonds…who were themselves descended from Gogi-As peoples [i.e. Aryan Gogi]." — An excerpt from http://www.tribwatch.com/jewsociety.htm. <↩>

Where did all the tough guys go?
It was hard not to ask that question in the wake of the Penguins� 3-1 win over Ottawa on Monday. After a build-up that seemed to ensure that extra-legal violence would happen at some point, things went off with barely a hitch. The Pens notched another impressive win with their JV team, and the Senators saw their playoff position get a little more perilous.
That wasn�t the story, at least to me. I was more interested in the revenge-minded garbage that figured to be a primary theme, and the subsequent lack of conviction to carry out said garbage by both the Senators and Penguins.
Early in the game, Chris Neil, who would be thought of as a valiant and great teammate if he played for the Pens, tried to engage Matt Cooke in a fight. Cooke declined the offer, and ended up drawing a penalty on Ottawa early in the game. Afterwards, Cooke said he felt he had done nothing wrong, and therefore didn�t feel compelled to drop the gloves to stand up for his perceived misdeeds.
That�s actually perfectly sane logic if you�re judging Cooke by the standards of rational humans, but this is the NHL, where Senators owner Eugene Melnyk can call for a forensic investigation into Cooke�s hit on Erik Karlsson to see if there was deliberate intent to injure. Oh, and he can do this all with a straight face.
No, the NHL requires thoughtless, knuckle-dragging vigilante justice at all times, with fans blindly supporting all kinds of fights, both organic and scripted, because somehow they constitute what hockey is supposed to be all about.
But, in the warped world of the NHL, where were all the tough guys, ready to step up? After Cooke and Neil didn�t fight, Robert Bortuzzo and Zack Smith did, but they weren�t really expected to, so it didn�t much register on the buzz scale. Neil eventually went looking for Brooks Orpik, a tough man who doesn�t fight, but neither of them seemed to be interested in anything more than grabbing each other.
Skating to the rescue to save us from boredom and (gasp) hockey was Sheriff Steve MacIntyre, no doubt a nice guy and great teammate, but only a hockey player in the most literal of senses. MacIntyre wanted to fight Neil, who understandably had no interest in fighting a guy with two career goals, four career points and one career attempted fight of an entire opposing team to his credit.
So in the end, none of the expected participants fought, the Penguins won and MacIntyre validated his NHL existence by skating around and drawing a third-man-in penalty without actually fighting. Bunch of tough guys, indeed.
Don�t get me wrong, compared to any normal person and most other athletes, the average hockey player is ridiculously tough. But I think even they would have to admit that occasionally these revenge stories go a little bit overboard.
We wouldn�t even have to have these discussions or expectations in the first place if the NHL would step up and actually do something about what regularly goes on in the league and among the media who cover it. In the last week, NESN broadcaster Jack Edwards compared Cooke to Sirhan Sirhan, the man who killed Robert F. Kennedy, NBC Sports� Mike Milbury called Cooke a �freaking skunk� and openly hoped that an Ottawa player would exact revenge on him and Melnyk went on sports talk radio in Canada and all but put a bounty on Cooke.
Where was Gary Bettman during all this? If David Stern ran the NHL, Melnyk would have been fined in the healthy six-figure range and been severely reprimanded, and extra focus and attention would have been placed on Monday�s game. Bettman did absolutely nothing, and while the game didn�t exactly descend into a Massacre on Long Island-level event, the half-hearted and impotent flailing and posturing by both sides, especially Ottawa, was equally dumb.
The dirty secret is that Bettman and the old guard are just fine with everything I mentioned that was said about Cooke. They love it.
I�m not going to call for an end to fighting in the NHL, which would be akin to trying to destroy Hoover Dam with a hammer and chisel. But I ask two things: for the NHL to take seriously the Neanderthal-level attitude displayed by some owners and GMs around the league, and react punitively when it is required; and NHL players, if you�re desperate to carry out some sort of proxy justice to avenge a teammate, don�t be picky about which player you drop the gloves with, just fight and be done with it.
Even if your opponent happens to be Steve MacIntyre.
Chris Mueller, host of Starkey, Miller and Mueller on 93.7 The Fan, is a better hockey player than Steve MacIntyre. And he�s planning on telling MacIntyre that to his face. Uh, next week. Maybe.

Gulf Frittilary Butterfly on Lantana--the underwing markings shine like mother-of-pearl.This summer brought more Gulf Frittilary butterflies than we've ever seen in our Texas Hill Country yard. The conditions were right--a cool summer, 90's instead of 110, and our host-plant native passion vines were hardy from spring rains.
The vines have been ragged all summer as Gulf Frittilary caterpillars feasted.
The caterpillar's spiny projections may provide protection from being eaten by birds.
The caterpillars grow fast, moulting several times before achieving full growth. Then they attach to a structure (preferably in a shady spot), curl upward into a J position, and harden into a pupa.
Pupa in process of formation.
Gulf Frittilary pupas look a bit like a cross between a dead leaf and a bird dropping--a good disguise from hungry birds.
In two weeks, the butterfly will emerge from the hardened shell and the cycle will spin again.

Graphic Designers Surveyed [GD& Social Science]
Book design with LucienneRoberts+ for GraphicDesign&
What happens when you survey UK- and US-based graphic designers and ask prying questions about life and work? Presented in this 480-page paperback book are the responses – by turn fanatical, funny and frank – of 1,988 designers. Exhausted but enthusiastic, critical and creative, frustrated yet optimistic… their answers will surprise. One thing is certain – they really love graphic design and what it can do.
Examining their responses in collaboration with social scientist Nikandre Kopcke and data designer Stefanie Posavec, the GraphicDesign& editors present new findings and re-evaluate age-old clichés about graphic design: from studio to household, from student to CEO, across gender, age and the Atlantic.
Graphic Designers Surveyed is edited by Lucienne Roberts, Rebecca Wright and Jessie Price in collaboration with Nikandre Kopcke and Stefanie Posavec. In Print magazine, Steven Heller calls it 'a fascinating book for stat nerds and designers who are interested in their peers.' Wallpaper* magazine says it's 'a quiet masterpiece of information design.' And Grafik magazine adds that 'for a book without any images, it's surprising visually engaging.'
Alongside Lucienne Roberts and John McGill, I worked as part of the LucienneRoberts+ team designing and artworking both the cover and text / infographic pages of the book.
Graphic Designers Surveyed by GraphicDesign&, 2015. Cover printed with Pantone Orange 021U, 480 pages.

Granite crushing & processing
Granite contains much course and medium quartz and feldspar. It the
most common plutonic rock in the earth's crust and it is formed by
cooled magma deeply in the earth's crust. As can be used for paving
stones and building stone, granite mining was once an important
industry. On the design of the crushing process, Liming Heavy Industry
selects the laminated crushing equipment in order to reduce the loss of
wear parts. The typical configuration is secondary jaw crusher or jaw
crusher plus cone crusher. If the clients have higher request for final
products shape, the impact crusher can be used for reshaping. Thus,
three stage crushing process configurations are formed. Three stages
crushing will inevitably lead to a higher investment cost. But for the
long-term operation stones factory, three stages crushing will be very
substantial to the production cost reduction.
Granite crushing & processing APPLICATIONS
Granite is a kind of versatile building material. Granite has many
characteristics, such as rich in resources, wide distribution and
varieties. Granite is used for building houses, roads and bridges in
folk traditions. Granite belongs a special ore which contains much
quartz and rarely iron. The crystal combines very tight, fine texture,
acid-proof, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It is a
high-quality corrosion-resistant material that can be used in chemical,
metallurgy, thermal power, cement, printing, defense facilities and
other fields.

CALGARY — Mikael Backlund scored twice and added an assist Wednesday night as the Calgary Flames jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and cruised to a 7-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
Up 2-0, Backlund set up Cammalleri in the slot for a power-play goal at 11:28. The quick shot past Jonas Hiller made it three goals on five shots and resulted in coach Bruce Boudreau pulling him from the game, replacing him with Frederik Andersen.
The change did not change the game's momentum, however. Two minutes later, Backlund scored his 15th goal of the season on a wrist shot that slipped past the rookie goaltender.
Backlund added his second of the night 1:31 into the second period, this time shorthanded. Firing a wrist shot past Andersen as he broke in alone off the wing, it was the Flames' second short-handed goal of the night and league-leading 11th of the season.
Backlund has four of them, tying him for top spot with Boston's Brad Marchand and Tampa Bay's Tyler Johnson.
Mark Giordano, TJ Galiardi, Ladislav Smid and Corban Knight with his first NHL goal also scored for Calgary (26-33-7). The Flames scored more than five goals in a game for the first time this season.
Andrew Cogliano with his 20th goal and Nick Bonino scored for Anaheim (43-16-7). Winless in their last four (0-2-2), the Ducks continue a three-game road trip Friday night in Colorado.
Anaheim continues to lead the Pacific Division by two points over the San Jose Sharks but the Ducks squander the game in hand that they held.
The Flames entered the night tied for the league-lead in one-goal games. The unusual blowout offensively for the home side was embraced by the crowd announced at 19,829, who gave the team a boisterous standing ovation after the first and second periods and once again when the game ended.
Up 6-2, the crowd got one last treat when Knight, from nearby High River, scored his first NHL goal with 1:57 left in the game.
There were signs early that it wasn't going to be Anaheim's night.
After peppering Flames rookie goalie Joni Ortio with a couple shots in the opening minute only to come away empty, Calgary made its first shot count when Giordano's slapshot hit the shaft of Kyle Palmieri's stick and re-directed into the top corner on Hiller at 3:39.
Bad luck for Anaheim was followed by some bad play. After Backlund was robbed on a two-on-one short-handed breakaway, the same penalty kill produced a three-on-one shortly after with Galiardi finishing off a neat set-up from Paul Byron at 7:10.
Making his fifth start in a row, Ortio had 20 saves to improve to 3-3-0.
In relief, Andersen finished with 16 saves. Hiller was tagged with the loss to fall to 26-10-6.

We haven't seen a robin in a long time and I was surprised that other people in Illinois, near Chicago, still were seeing them.There was no information on Juncos, however. I wish that they would track these little favorite birds too...I am on the watch for these little ones who stay here through rain, snow, sleet and all kinds of bad weather. Our tough little Juncos will be here soon.My neighbor,who lives in Minnesota in the summer,will be home in a week or so. Snow is predicted for them today and when the snow flies...they head south for home. Glad that they are coming home early...they will get to see our fall color show here in Byron.

God knew what He was doing when He sent a gentle breeze and brought a lovely butterfly to set my heart at ease. The happiness of your friendship and the gentleness of your words have touched my life in special ways and now I feel assured. Thank you for your loyalty and for reading everyday. I only hope you find things to make a happy day.

COSTA MESA — Last night the opposing sides in the debate over outsourcing of Costa Mesa City Services were brought together at the Costa Mesa Community Center to answer the question; "Should Costa Mesa be run like a business?" All sides in the debate seemed to be in agreement that business principles have a role in the management of any city budget. However that agreement led me to the conclusion that the positions advocated by Mayor Pro Tem Jim Righeimer and Costa Mesa Taxpayers Association President Colin McCarthy are far removed from any sound principles I have ever seen.
The forum, hosted by columnist Barbara Venezia, pitted Orange County Employees Association General Manager Nick Berarding, Costa Mesa Council Members Jim Righeimer and Wendy Leece, and Costa Mesa Taxpayers Association President Colin McCarthy against John Canalis of the Daily Pilot, Frank Mikadeit of the OC Register, Norberto Santana of Voice Of OC, and Roger Bloom of the Newport Beach Independent. The answers, as expected, came predominantly from the political play books of both sides.
Righeimer started off by answering the question of whether or not there is a budget crisis facing the city that requires the outsourcing of city services. His rationale was less than sound as he cited already discredited projections of pension costs to claim there was. He claimed that unions were unwilling to negotiate necessary savings and that the personnel costs for the city are consuming so much of the city budget that needed repairs and maintenance are not being performed.
Righeimer claimed that the city had "blown through" a $35 million rainy day fund, leaving the city on the verge of financial default. He backed his theory up by pointing to the fact that cash on hand in November /December last year was at $5 million, leaving the city on the verge of financial collapse in his opinion. Councilwoman Leece would have nothing of that argument reminding him that the cash on hand amount was that low because property tax revenues had not yet come in.
Leece argued that the city had previously gained concessions from their employees that significantly reduced the amount of reserves (Rainy Day Fund) that were needed to address shortfalls due to the current economic conditions. She argued that if not for the fact that Righeimer and his allies on the council had given notice to most city staff members other than police officers that their jobs would be outsourced in September, similar concessions would have been likely. "We're not out of money. The sky is not falling. There is a plan," Leece said.
Righeimer challenged previous council deliberations about the budget as being negotiated out of fear. That the Leece and others were using the fear of losing quality of life or quality of services as the basis for their decisions. "We must stop budgeting out of fear," Righeimer said.
Funny he should say that since the entire strategy he and his colleagues are using is born out of FEAR. Fear of pension liabilities, fear of insolvency, fear of higher taxes, fear of layoff in tough economic times, fear based upon speculation and not one shread of evidence. Now that's negotiation out of fear.
OCEA's Berardino hammered on his point that the employees have been willing to work with the city to negotiate rational solutions to the current crisis. But he wasn't willing to negotiate at the end af the barrel of a loaded political agenda. "This is advancing a political agenda," he said. "Politicians outsource in order to gain favor with their political supporters… and they get political contributions from the people they give contracts to."
Berardino pointed out that the entire plan to outsource virtually all city services was hatched in secret by the majority of the Council using their personal email accounts. Righeimer's response, other than challenging Berardino to reveal how much OCEA has contributed to the Repair Costa Mesa campaign, was a "what you gonna do about it" smirk.
The hottest exchange of the evening erupted when Righeimer responded to a question from Voice of Orange County's Norberto Santana about transparency by challenging Santana saying "Let's have a little transparency. This is your boss here," pointing to Berardino. While OCEA did provide initial seed money for the nonprofit Voice of OC, they are not the primary source of funding for the organization.
Earlier in the evening Righeimer indicated some willingness to place a value on institutional memory of city workers. He admitted that in his business that he values that experience at 20% or more of salary. But he calimed there was a limit to how high he was willing to go. Righeimer did ultimatly agree that he would be willing to negotiate with city workers over budget shortfalls. "I'm willing to negotiate," Righeimer said. "Once the all the proposals are in." Simply put, he is only willing to negotiate under the condition that the city workers negotiate their contracts, with only one option, beat the lowest bidder for your job, or your out.
When the proposals are all in, I wonder where he will draw that line?
In response to the question of whether the city of Costa Mesa should be run like a business, I learned that Righeimer claims the answer is yes, but in practice he doesn't follow the theory. Unless you call making decisions based upon political ideology, without any facts, research, study, or rational deliberation sound business theory.

The House of Shadowed Corners
Trials of Flame
A set of heavy bronze double doors fill a portion of the wall past which the hallway leads. A message is engraved upon the doors in elaborate Old Realm characters, and complex designs of lacquered red and orange tiles surround the message. Upon approaching the doors, it is clear that warm air is emerging from the minuscule cracks between the doors and walls, although the doors themselves are cool to the touch.
A character who can read Old Realm deciphers the message to read as follows, "Here lie trials for the worthy. Insight may be found within, though it is guarded by flame and fury, and the unworthy shall perish before they find it here."
Opening the door unleashes a massive blast of fiercely hot air, and shows a series of flame-belching pillars, wheels of rotating dragon's heads with tongues of searing fire, and brazen statues with swords of sharp-edged obsidian patrolling the spaces between the flames. The shimmer of heat obscures the view of the other side of the great hall, but there is the suggestion of another set of bronze doors opposite this entrance.
Rather than modeling each individual element of the complex set of flame-spewing obstacles, treat the entire hall containing the Trials of Fire as a bonfire environmental hazard (p232) that requires five rolls to navigate successfully. A character who accepts a -5 penalty to their roll to avoid harm may traverse an extra round's worth of hazards in one roll. However, a character who thinks to study the paths the statues walk between the fires before anyone enters the trials can make an Int + Awareness roll to reduce the difficulty of all rolls to avoid harm by 1.
After a character's first round in the trials, the nearest statue moves to engage them in combat, requiring a Join Battle roll for all characters in the trials. An additional statue attacks after every two rounds from this point. Time spent in melee with a statue without a disengage action or a stunt to stay moving through the maze does not progress a character towards the other side of the trials, and the bonfire continues to threaten the characters while they fight. The statues are immune to the fires, and have +4 soak against any other fire-based attacks. The statues abandon their pursuit of any character who makes it to the bronze doors on the other side of the trials, or who flees out the original entrance.
Passing through the Trials of Flame provides insight into the secrets of the House of Shadowed Corners, granting ten bonuses successes to the next roll that character makes to navigate the labyrinth, and granting a point of temporary willpower (which may take the character over their permanent willpower rating). At the GM's discretion, the character may receive additional insight instead of either the bonus successes or the point of temporary willpower.

Why dont you kick me when im down like the rest of this fuckin town, you stand there with a heart of stone telling tales of lost love and regret. You knew how hard it was for me to open up, you knew better than most what i grew up with, how love never filled these walls, but that didnt change a single time, im so close to the edge right now that i can see the end of everything and the end of nothing. These roads go on and on but i only go on for so long, this candle is burning out.

Robots have always fueled the imagination. Most of the ones featured in the movies have some type of humanoid features, such as a 2 leg, 2 arm body. They look good in the movies but don't work so well in the untamed environment of outdoors, the desert or Mars.
Here is one that NASA is working on that has 6 legs with a wheels for feet. It can really Walk and Roll. It's movement is more like a crab that can rollerskate.

When Sandy Hit Cuba
November 4, 2012, 6:45 p.m. ET
When Sandy Hit Cuba
The regime in Havana would rather watch the Cuban people annihilated
than risk losing its lock on power.
By MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY
A day after the worst of extratropical cyclone Sandy—once a
hurricane—had pulled out of town, I strolled around Lower Manhattan
expecting to find apocalyptic devastation. Instead, the World Financial
Center was clean, dry and well-lighted. Inside the complex, the upscale
espresso and pastry shop Financier and the Rite-Aid drugstore were open.
So too was the Gristedes supermarket on South End Avenue. Out front,
workers were unloading a shipment of yogurt, cottage cheese and sour
cream. Taxis were queuing at the corner.
It is true that the government-owned and -operated subway system had
ground to a halt. It is also true that coastal New Jersey, Long Island,
Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island suffered unspeakable tragedies. But
in some places, like Manhattan, the hardship was less than what one
might have expected. I chalked it up to the work of architects, steel
fabricators, farmers, tire importers, butchers, bakers, candlestick
makers and countless others who by way of enlightened self-interest
housed, fed, clothed and otherwise provided comfort in the immediate
aftermath of the storm.
Walking home I thought of the people of eastern Cuba, who had been hit
by Sandy a few days before New Yorkers.
I was not pondering the roots of wealth and poverty, per se. Obviously,
market economies, with their private-property rights and profit
incentives, do an infinitely better job than other economic systems in
protecting people from natural disasters. No news flash there. But the
reports from Cuba are grim beyond the run-of-the-mill stories of what
happens when hurricanes hit shacks. They are stories that illustrate,
yet again, the dictatorship's flagrant inhumanity and cruelty toward the
Cuban people.
Sandy ravaged the east end of the island. Blogger Yoani Sánchez wrote of
"the wind, the flying roofs, heavy rains and trees falling on streets
and houses." Residents, she said, won't easily forget "that first night
after the disaster in which, from their battered beds or rickety sofas,
they found nothing separating their faces from the starry night sky.
Some people lost everything, which was not much."
The international press has widely covered the damage done to Haiti by
Sandy but the Telegraph in Britain reported that, according to the Red
Cross, Cuba got hit much harder. In Haiti, the newspaper said, "17,000
people were evacuated and thousands of homes destroyed." Meanwhile in
Cuba, "75,000 people have been left homeless, with 15,000 homes
destroyed." Schools, hospitals and shops are in ruins and the island's
eastern agricultural sector is badly damaged. There were 11 dead.
Disease could push the number higher.
Almost 54 years after the so-called glorious revolution first triumphed
in eastern Cuba, the region is an embarrassment to the regime. The
people of "oriente" were promised justice and well-being. Instead they
live in poverty and isolation.
In recent years Cuba's outlawed independent press has reported outbreaks
of cholera and dengue fever in the region, but the dictatorship has
seemed more interested in keeping the news under wraps than dealing with
the problem.
Dissidents Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero were traveling in the area,
reportedly intending to draw attention to the cholera problem, when they
were killed in a car wreck earlier this year. The regime refused the
families' requests for an independent investigation of the crash.
Independent journalists have been chronicling the Cuban state's failure
in the Hurricane Sandy crisis. They have reported that government
weather advisories did not warn of the storm's catastrophic nature, and
now the reporters are covering the state's bungled handling of the
disaster. Food, even bread, is scarce, and displaced residents have
nowhere to lay their heads.
Many Cubans, despite their own privation, recognize that Sandy has
placed an extraordinary burden on the east. "These are the times to
redouble our solidarity, to roll up our sleeves and help them rebuild
their homes, to divide the piece of bread, and to go all out to
contribute to those unlucky Cubans that Sandy left behind," Ms. Sánchez
The regime doesn't like private efforts of that type. Some dissidents
who tried to organize relief efforts have been arrested, according to
independent press reports. Other dissidents have been denied the right
to register their homelessness with the state. Advocates for the storm
victims have called for the military dictatorship to drop customs duties
on food, medicine and construction materials coming from international
donors. But easing the import of aid might not be of much help. A member
of the Ladies in White, an internationally recognized opposition group,
charges that the Cuban state sells donations from abroad—presumably to
locals who have access to hard currency—anyway.
Cubans want to help each other. But that implies an attempt to recover
civil society, which evolves through grass-roots organization. The
dictatorship fears such activity, seeing it as a threat: Better to watch
the Cuban people annihilated than risk losing the lock on power. This,
and not the bricks and mortar of the World Financial Center, is what
makes the Cuban experience with Sandy so different.

Hong Kong Stadium is located centrally on Hong Kong Island, near Causeway Bay. Redeveloped from the old Government Stadium, the new Hong Kong Stadium was re-opened in March 1994. With a maximum seating capacity of 40,000, the stadium comes alive during the Hong Kong Sevens Tournament, which itself has a wonderful history. The annual Tournament is now considered the "Jewel in the Crown" in the Series and still continues to grow in popularity with players and spectators. The Tournament itself has a unique atmosphere with a sea of costumes, anthems to sing along to and furiously fast rugby games to watch. Outside the stadium; nearby Happy Valley offers a number of excellent expat pubs that are usually crowded on match days and have their TVs tuned to the action.
If there is only one thing you can do in Hong Kong, go to The Peak. As the highest point on the Island, it is Hong Kong's most popular attraction. Getting to the Peak by the Peak Tram is an unforgettable experience. One of the world's oldest and most famous funicular railways, the tram rises to 396 metres (about 1,300 feet) above sea level. The Peak Tower has a large viewing platform called Sky Terrace 428, in addition to dining and retail outlets. Nearby, The Peak Galleria has a free-entry observation deck, as well as shopping and dining options. Offering a stunning 360-degree panoramic view across the Hong Kong, the Sky Terrace 428 standing at 428 metres above sea level, is a scenic spot that visitors can enjoy.
Stanley Market is one of the must-go places for tourists when they visit Hong Kong. You will find an interesting array of little shops selling silk garments, sportswear, art, Chinese costume jewellery and souvenirs. It's probably best to go in the morning before things get too hot and crowded. A hard morning of shopping is also nicely finished off by a good lunch at one of the many restaurants, which are the reason that Hong Kong locals also frequent the area. Stalls start to pack up and close around 6pm or 6:30pm, by 7pm almost everything is closed except for the nearby restaurants and cafes. Stanley is actually an old fishing village, one of the oldest in Hong Kong, and there is more to see than just the market.
Once merely a remote monastery hidden by lush, mountain scenery, the Po Lin Monastery made it to the world map when the extraordinary Tian Tan Buddha statue (informally known as the Big Buddha) was erected in 1993. Sitting 34 metres high and facing north to look over the Chinese people, this majestic bronze Buddha draws pilgrims from all over Asia. Opposite the statue, the Po Lin Monastery is one of Hong Kong's most important Buddhist sanctums and has been dubbed 'the Buddhist World in the South'. Home to many a devout monk, this monastery is rich with colourful manifestations of Buddhist iconography and its pleasant garden is alive with birdsong and flowery scents. You can also enlighten your appetite at their popular vegetarian restaurant. Getting to Ngong Ping Village and the Big Buddha with the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car is in itself an attraction and the recommended way to get to see the statue.
What are the Hong Kong Sevens?
The Hong Kong Sevens tournament is considered to be the jewel in the crown of the IRB Sevens World Series. Spanning three days the tournament will see twenty-eight national teams take part in seven-aside matches.
When are the Hong Kong Sevens?
The Hong Kong Sevens will take place in Hong Kong between 8 April to 10 April 2016.

Why should I go?
There is one thing that makes the Hong Kong Sevens different from every other tournament – and that's the sensational atmosphere. From the mix of local and international fans around the hot spots of the city to the legendary 'South Stand' in the Hong Kong Stadium (famous for its party fever, fancy dress and three days of non-stop partying) the Hong Kong Sevens is a must for all rugby fans who like it wild, relentless and fun.

What can I do in Honk Kong?
The Hong Kong Sevens is more than just a rugby party – it's where east meets west and is a combination of colour, cuisine and great sights. Here are our top three places to visit before or after the Sevens tournament to make the most of your trip to this amazing city.
The Peak is the highest point in Hong Kong, giving you great views of the harbour and the city skyline. Take the tram to the summit, relax with a beer and soak up the mesmerising vista. The Bubba Gump shrimp restaurant is a must.
In the central business district and among the hustle and bustle of the city you can wine and dine at a variety of bars and restaurants. Work your way up the hill, taking in the local culture and sampling a variety of refreshments. This is a great place to mix and mingle with everything that makes this city magical.
One for fans who want to get away from it all – Dai Long Wan is away from the city and a great place to experience a different part of Hong Kong. Hike through the park trails or take a relaxing walk on the beach. The highlight is a speedboat ride back into the city where you can sample some of the great seafood restaurants.
Where is the Stadium?
Hong Kong Stadium is located in So Kon Po on Hong Kong Island, very near Causeway Bay. With a maximum seating capacity of 40,000, it is not surprising that the stadium is renowned for its party-like atmosphere.

The Evens supported by Perrosky, Thursday 22 March 2007, Galpón Victor Jara, Santiago, Chile.
The "Galpón Victor Jara" turned out to be exactly what the name suggested - a large shed, with a stage at one of the short ends, a rake of seats at the other, and a large open space in between. I was surprised to find a small bar by the entrance, offering a range of alcoholic drinks - this was the first time I had found such a thing at a live music venue in Chile, barring the Fiestas Patrias marquees which are not typical. Probably about a thousand people could squeeze in if they sold out all tht tickets. I arrived about half an hour early, and was able to get a place at the front, just to the right of the stage. I had been doubtful about whether many people would come, but by the time the support act Perrosky came on stage a good crowd had assembled, big enough to make the place feel cosy without being too stressful.
The mysteriously-named Perrosky turned out to be two men in their thirties, both wearing chocolate-coloured suits and ties. The formality of their appearance was reduced somewhat by their hairstyles, the singer / guitarist having long hair and the drummer having the closest thing to an Afro that I have ever seen on a Chilean. Their music was wonderful, a stripped-down vital mix of rock and blues that got most people tapping their feet and generally enjoying themselves. The lead singer claimed that they were really nervous but it did not show at all once they got going. He also expressed a debt of gratitude to Ian Mackaye of The Evens for having inspired them to set up their own independent record label. They played a short set of six or seven songs, that left me wanting more - I later did what I have not done for ages, and rushed out to buy the album.
The interlude was marked by the usual movements of musical equipment off and on the stage, and was remarkably brief. One of the good things about duos is that it cuts everything down to a minimum. The Evens' set basically consisted of a living-room lamp at each end of the stage, and, er, that was it. The main stage lights were all switched off except for a single overhead spotlight that created strong shadows and made life difficult for those hoping to take photos.
Ian Mackaye and Amy Farina came on stage and The Evens' show started with a brief introductory speech from Ian, who as well as expressing how happy they were to be here in Santiago, said that it was an honour to play in this particular venue, owned by the Victor Jara Foundation, because "his (Victor Jara's) story... proves that music is no f***ing joke". Ian limited his efforts to communicate in Spanish to getting members of the audience who understood English to translate, which was not ideal but things seemed to muddle along quite nicely. He went on to explain that they wanted the concert to be a shared effort between them and the audience, something that unfortunately got lost in the translation (the woman who had been brought up on stage to translate did not know how to translate this and ended up saying something along the lines that they wanted everyone to have a good time together), but nevertheless was gradually put into practice by trial and error. The good thing was that Ian was not shy at all about speaking to the audience as if they all understood perfect English, and I got the impression that quite a large proportion of the message did get through to most people, if only indirectly as those that understood some English translated to their friends.
After requesting the crowd to listen, not talk ("we're a very quiet band, so if you want to talk, go outside") the music started with "Shelter Two", the opening track from "12 songs", their debut album. From where I was standing, the sound was perfect, with the guitar, vocals and drums all sounding distinct and well-balanced in the mix. A few layers of some of the recorded tracks were missing from the live versions of the songs, but the vast majority of the music sounded as good or better live - including the distinctive use of reverb on Amy's bass drum that made the beats echo as if in an enormous cavernous space.
Live, the songs were performed with an energy that is there in the recorded versions but does not come across with such force as it did on stage. Ian played his guitar with such energy that at times it looked like he was going to fall off his stool. Amy somehow managed to sing beautifully and play the drums at the same time, which was impressive - just playing the drums looks like hard work enough.
The audience was called on to collaborate with an "epic fade-out chorus" at the end of "You Won't Feel a Thing" - "Until the day you wake up" (repeat to fade). "What's 'fade out' in Spanish?" - no one knew, but the concept was somehow communicated anyway. We all sang along happily, and received an applause from the stage for our efforts.
There were several points where the sound of people chattering at the back of the hall was uncomfortably loud relative to the music, which clearly annoyed the band, prompting a bit of a telling-off from Ian: "We've come along way to play, people have paid money to hear us play, so please, if you want to talk, go outside ... you are f***ing with our show" Confrontation with elements of his audience has marked Ian Mackaye's career from the hardcore punk days of Minor Threat, whose fans' violent slam-dancing at concerts led to a change of musical style that was Fugazi. Fugazi's audiences were more peaceful but still occasionally featured confrontations between the band and aggressive members of the crowd, who were sometimes marched out of the venue by Mackaye himself. The progressive mellowing-out of Mackaye's music has continued with The Evens, and here the audience was peaceful and amicable, but just would not stop talking! Someone at the front insisted on asking Ian questions just as they were starting a song "Is this really the right moment to ask me that? ... we can talk about that later". Another person would repetitively call out "Full Disclosure" (a track from the last Fugazi album) and laugh at himself as if he had just done something really funny.
Ian commented at one point "we're going to have to ask them to close the bar" and went on to explain that "we normally try to play shows in places where music is not normally played ... because they always want to sell things, which is OK, but where things are sold, people have to talk ... music was here before industry, music was here before the music industry, music was here before the rock music industry, music was here before .. everything, and music's not a f***ing joke". Amy Farina was less talkative but did chip in with "I'm the nasty one, so watch out" and a charming smile when Ian was in mid-rant, saying "I'm not a nasty guy"... this added a much-needed dose of humour to the proceedings and lightened things up a bit.
We were called on to participate once more on "Mount Pleasant Isn't", with the chorus "the police will not be excused / the police will not behave". This song was put into context with the explanation that it was about the 1991 riots in the Mount Pleasant area of Washington D.C., when the response of the police was "like when there is something burning ... and you throw gasoline on it". This was a topic that would have been familiar to most people who have attended a demonstration in Santiago, which almost routinely end in violent clashes between police and demonstrators. It often seems like the use of water cannon and tear gas by the police just tends to exclude the non-violent demonstrators and turns the streets into an arena for running battles with hooded demonstrators armed with Molotov cocktails. We got the opportunity to practice the chorus a few times before the song, which was just as well because the first few attempts did not cut it. By about the third time we achieved the required volume and when our time came in the actual song Ian and Amy looked quite pleased, and we got some more applause for our efforts.
It was not all up-tempo sing-alongs, several of their quieter songs also got played, and I have to say it was almost like hearing them for the first time. In the bustle of day to day life there are times when I tend to not give music the attention it deserves if it does not produce instant gratification. For instance, "Sara Lee", despite suffering from the chattering noise coming from the back of the hall, was a really moving experience performed live, as were several other of the quieter songs. The recorded version of this song features some quiet, tuneful whistling at the beginning, and we were asked to fill in as Ian explained "I can't whistle live". I fear that we were not much better; Amy Farina seemed to be the only person who was up to the job of whistling tunefully.
The concert ended with "Everyone Knows", which was introduced with the words "this song is a celebration of George Bush leaving office (cheers from the crowd) ... governments are like the weather ... bad governemts can knock buildings down, but eventually they go, and the people put the buildings back up again ... there is lots of work to be done". The song did not really need much explanation, and was a joy to jump up and down and sing along to. To all those who are looking forward to the departure of Dubya, I would recommend the album "Get Evens" if only for this song - it perfectly captures the feelings of anger, indignation, frustration, of having been cheated, of wanting justice, and of eventually getting even; building up in a crescendo to the explosive salvo of "you're fired / from a job you should never have had".
By the time the concert was over I had been reduced to a state of dumb-struck bliss, feeling like a teenager again. Ian and Amy came to the front of the stage to meet the fans and my mind went blank, I did not know what to say. Other people seemed more prepared for the opportunity and asked some reasonably intelligent questions. I shook Ian by the hand and mumbled something pretty feeble and idiotic like "great show ... I saw you in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in 1991 ... any chance of Fugazi getting back together?". He looked at me and I dread to think what he thought of me, but he said "Naah, we don't think like that ... We're The Evens now". Amy mentioned that they were heading on to Buenos Aires in about 5 hours, which would probably explain why they got cracking packing up their equipment after a short while, watched by a crowd of happy fans from the front of the stage.
I was left to float out of the door feeling inspired and with some happy memories, some of them a bit disjointed and out of context, like the point at which Ian said something along the lines of "This is a f***ing punk rock show ... punk is not about your clothes, punk is not about your hairstyle, punk is not even a type of music ... punk is a free space". The concert was memorable for the music but also for the spirit with which they approached the event, of wanting to make the show together with the audience. The song "if it's water" starts with the line "true, even doesn't mean the same as equal" and this idea was put into practice in the way they insisted on their right to play their music without being drowned out by chatter, but on the other hand tried to make us all part of the event, with minimal stage lighting and maximum interaction between the band and their audience.

Winemaking generally is not the first thing that comes to mind in association with Colorado. And yet fruit trees and grape vines have flourished in Colorado for over 100 years. Despite the climate challenges -- short growing seasons, the potential for hail and high winds -- the grape-growing regions of Colorado enjoy some ideal conditions. Though it is a young profession (most vines under cultivation have been planted within the last 15 years), winemaking in Colorado is thriving.
The Manitou Springs Colorado Wine Festival on June 7 offers an opportunity to sample some of the state's finest wines and to support a good cause: all proceeds after expenses will benefit the Manitou Springs Beautification Project and enable the completion of a Xeriscape project in a median at the west end of town.
The $15 admission fee will get you a commemorative glass and tastings from participating vineyards. A $5 admission for designated drivers and those under 21 includes nonalcoholic beverages; there is no admission fee for children under 10.
Live musical entertainment will include bluegrass, jazz and acoustic folk. Cripple Creek Band and John Stone are among the scheduled performers. Area restaurants will offer refreshments for a nominal fee. You'll be able to sample Breadhead's signature bread salad and artisanal breads; cheese and chocolate fondue (separately) from Mona Lisa; sausage and peppers from Paravicini, the new kid on the block in Old Colorado City; assorted barbeque dishes from Front Range Barbeque; and gourmet coffee drinks from Spice of Life. Rumor has it that Wines of Colorado may offer their signature wine burgers.
Colorado now has over 40 licensed wineries. Among those participating in the festival are:
Trail Ridge Winery, Loveland, known for its fresh and fruity blends under labels like Never Summer White, Prairie Rose and Fall River Red. They make some unusual wines with the Lemberger grape as well as a delightful cherry wine.
The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey, Cañon City, is one of the youngest wineries in the state. Is God on their side? Try their Riesling, Chardonnay, Cab Franc or Merlot and decide.
Rocky Hill Winery, Montrose, has consistently won state and regional awards for stalwarts like Sauvignon Blanc and upstart blends like Ski Bunny Blush. If you're not man enough to try that, sample their cherry wine.
Augustina's Winery, Boulder, is a one-woman operation making gutsy blends with great names like Boulder Backpacking wine and WineChick Red. That proprietor Marianne Walter is a great-grandniece of temperance icon Carrie Nation, giving a certain frisson to her award-winning wines.
DeBeque Canyon Winery, Palisade, has won recognition for its Syrah, Merlot and Gewrztraminer. Try their Claret, considered their flagship wine.
Two Rivers Winery, Grand Junction, not only offers award-winning wines but overnight stays at their bed-and-breakfast. Sample their Chardonnay and pick up some information for your next Western Slope getaway.
Cottonwood Cellars, Olathe, prides itself on its European-style aging process. Try their Chardonnay and taste the difference.
Garfield Estates, Palisade, is one of the state's newest wineries (established in 2000). Their 2001 Fume Blanc has recently won recognition at the San Diego Wine Competition.
Most participating wineries are in the Grand Valley, particularly Delta and Montrose counties. Two are closer to home: Balistreri Vineyards in Denver and Pikes Peak Vineyards & Winery in the southern end of town, across I-25 from the World Arena.
You'll be able to purchase bottles (or cases) from any of the purveyors at the Festival.
The Wine Festival's opening event will be a Wine Makers' Dinner on Friday, June 6 at the Briarhurst Manor. The reception is at 7:30 with dinner at 8. Chef Chip Johnson will prepare a multi-course dinner carefully paired with appropriate Colorado wines, beginning with Forest Mushroom Cappuccino with whipped Bingham Hill Blue Cheese and slivers of yucca root. The appetizer course will feature Hazelnut-crusted Frog Legs with Strawberry-Horseradish Emulsion and Balsamic Glac. Rocky Mountain Red Trout with Wild Onion-Crayfish Crme will be the next course, followed by Pinon and Rosehip Crusted Loin of Colorado Elk. And for dessert: Caramelized Pears with frozen Vanilla Custard, minted Crme Anglais and a prickly pear reduction. Ten bucks of the $60 cost will go to the Manitou Springs Beautification Project.
For information and reservations for the Wine Makers Dinner, call the Briarhurst at 685-1864. Tickets for the Festival may be purchased at: Coaltrain Liquors, 330 W. Uintah; Wines of Colorado, 8045 Highway 24 West, Cascade; Powers Liquor Mart, 5847 Palmer Park Blvd.; Creekside Liquors, 1108 Manitou Ave.; Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce, 354 Manitou Ave.

Nintendo Confirms Wii Successor Coming in 2012
The speculation that Nintendo will announce a new game console at the trade show E3 in June isn't speculation anymore. Nintendo has released its sales numbers for the last fiscal year today, and with it the confirmation that it will be showing off a new system in Los Angeles.
The announcement was short and cryptic, only stating "we will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo," not confirming any of the recent rumors surrounding the specs of the system. We'll have to wait until June to find out if the "Wii 2" will have the technical specs to compete with or even overshadow the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Speculation surrounding the new console has been scattershot at best. Some say it will be named the Stream. Some say it will have a triple-core PowerPC CPU. Some say it will natively output 1080p video. Some say its controllers will have their own screens, and will be able to emulate consoles. For all we know, it could be called the Stig (though I may be thinking of Top Gear in that case).
Nintendo also released its sales numbers, which were bittersweet. The 3DS has sold 3.6 million units worldwide since its release in February in Japan. However, overall hardware and software sales dropped as the Wii and DS have dwindled in popularity, causing a 66 percent drop in net profits over last year. The announcement of a new home console probably won't help bolster sales, but between the 3DS and new hardware next year, Nintendo is setting itself up for a strong 2012.
