Dove Cameron & Zurin Villanueva, Clueless the Musical

Dove Cameron and Zurin Villanueva in Clueless the Musical

I hope your 2109 is off to a great start… how is January almost over??

I’ve been thinking about time, and how quickly it goes. Dove was just 14 when we moved to LA to pursue her dream, and she turned 23 this month! Feels like we started on this journey only yesterday. But suddenly nine years have gone by…

This past season I spent a lot of time in New York as Dove rehearsed and then performed Cher in Clueless the Musical.

It was an amazing experience to get to watch a new show get on its feet, and see exactly what that takes… from the 12-hour days of tech week, to the excitement of Opening Night, to attending the show with Dove’s grandparents, and watching their pride as they saw her onstage. Unforgettable. And unforgettable too to see her joy as she originated an iconic role she’s loved since her childhood.

New York is not LA, and live theatre is not film or TV, but there are many commonalities. The skills and work ethic that are required for success in one are required for the other. The traits of resilience, courage, and persistence are required for success in both.

It wasn’t that long ago that the three genres might as well have been different planets… “theatre actors” and “TV actors” and “film actors” were exactly that, and rarely crossed those lines.

But today, the distinctions are fairly fluid. If an actor has the skills, they can cross over and succeed in different genres. Kristin Chenoweth and Bryan Cranston are example of actors who cross genres constantly. The trend toward live musicals on TV (RENT Live, Hairspray Live, etc.) is bringing top-notch live performances to millions who would never otherwise have access to Broadway. And it’s giving TV actors a chance to show off their musical theatre chops, while giving theatre actors a chance to shine on TV.

Most young actors fall in love with acting through local theatre… community theatre, school plays, even church or temple productions. Theatre is an accessible way to discover a love for performing because it has a fairly easy entry at the local level. This can lead many actors to wonder if Broadway should be their aim. Broadway (and Off-Broadway, which designates not a lower caliber of show but literally a smaller number of seats in the house… Off Broadway has 99-499 seats, and Broadway has 499+ seats) is a glorious place for actors. But it is even more competitive than film and TV because there are simply fewer roles. It also pays significantly less.

When Dove and I were discussing whether to move to LA or to New York so she could pursue her dream of being a professional actor, I liked the idea of New York.

It had a certain romance for me, I think. She pointed out that more film and TV are cast in LA, and her odds of success would therefore be better if we chose LA. Not one to argue with reality, I said yes to LA.

Nine years later I can say it was the right choice for us, and somehow she ended up in New York on stage despite choosing LA for the TV and film! The work she’s done since we landed in LA steadily built her skills and reputation to the point where originating a role like Cher in Clueless the Musical became not only a possibility but a reality.

I watch Dudley Benson get married and wonder if there’s a goody bag

Christchurch-born Dunedin-based composer and musician Dudley Benson recently extended an open invitation: to join him on the afternoon Waitangi Day (February 6), at the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna O Waiwhetu, for an hour-long site-specific free performance event in which he marries the land.

Benson is an idiosyncratic artist who creates singular, distinct and often sweetly poppy experimental work that combines choral work, close harmony, and unusual instrumental arrangements with styles and motifs more closely associated with hip hop and electronica. He sings in both English and Te Reo Māori, and his work has consistently engaged with the flora, fauna and environment of Aotearoa New Zealand. This performance incorporates music from previous and upcoming albums, and my take on this, musically, is a cross-genre Bon Iver via a goth New Zealand Lady Gaga. I’m not a music writer though; I am more interested here in the theatricality of this event, and its implications and resonances as a piece of ritualistic, stylised, site-specific performance art.

The structure of the event is both sound and familiar: Benson, as the veiled bride, is assisted by his sister Jess, who acts as the bridesmaid. They begin on a suspended walkway up above the gallery’s large foyer for a sort of invocation; flower petals are thrown; he makes his way down the large marble staircase (complete with a quick dramatic moment with a wind machine); vows are made; the bridal wear comes off; the marriage is consummated. The latter part of the event is the equivalent of the reception: Benson sings a cheesy local love song, there’s confetti and photos and some downbeat tunes, and for those who make it to the end there’s a lovely cake.

dudley wedding 1.jpg

I quite like ambitious work that can best be described as a little bonkers. I am also really thankful to see something completely out of step with the usual artistic goings on in Christchurch, and I love that the gallery are hosting events such as this. However, this performance as an overall entity is incoherent in a manner that I find really difficult to parse (hence this piece of writing – me trying to figure things out through typing rather than scrunching my face up). By this, I mean it is overly signified in a way that really rejects a coherent reading, although I don’t get the sense that this was necessarily the intent.

There are the swift shifts in tone. We move between sections of stylised, ritualistic action that are almost kitschy and camp in their gravity, to a looser playfulness that has a definite twinkle in its eye, to a deeply serious presentation that sometimes strays into earnest indulgence. Some of these song-events are set pieces, after which Benson takes a bow, which accentuates our role as receptive audience. As my friend Douglas points out, this plays with the sort of liturgical performativity and theatricality you’d find within the high Anglican tradition, which marries (hah) clearly with Benson’s background as a boy chorister. (Full disclosure: my younger brother started with the Christ Church Cathedral choristers the same year that Benson did, so that this register of performance, both musical and religious, feels overly familiar to me.)

There’s the use of black, which has its own sense of wide-spread national signification. This is most evident through the jet-black clothing pieces (credited to Dunedin-based designer Nom D). Jess Benson wears an amazing, bulbous frock. Dudley has a utilitarian kilt + gauntlets + black singlet (with New Zealand crest) ensemble. Both wear high, heavy black boots (knee-high Doc Martens?). There’s the disjuncture, then, between bridal-white, present only in the veil that Benson briefly wears, and the use of black for mourning and as a tarnish. Death appears later, too; the percussive song of consummation plays with the call of the fantail / tīwaiwaka / pīwakawaka, who ruins trickster demi-god Maui’s attempt to kill the immense goddess of death, Hine-nui-te-po. When Maui climbs inside her birth canal and up towards her heart, Hine is woken by the laugh of the mocking fantail, and she crushes Maui between her thighs, chomping him with the obsidian teeth that line her vagina. Benson calls explicit attention to this mythological connection, so I’m not sure what this says about the future of the marriage.

There’s also the performers’ coal black face makeup, which is augmented by something silver and sparkly around the forehead. It has me wincing – wincing so, so profoundly –  both at the beginning of the piece, and later, when it is gently wiped from Benson’s face in a manner that feels like a cleansing and an anointing. Given the detailed attention to aesthetic, design and costume, I have no idea what to make of this.

ETA: lovely Donna took this great picture of pre-show prep and has been kind enough to let me use it here:

dudley wedding 3.jpg

There’s an interesting ambiguity to do with sex and gender. Benson takes on the role of (demanding) bride, wearing clothing that plays with the iconography of fetish culture, when ‘marrying’ the land, which is itself usually feminised as both mother and lover.

There’s the troubled interplay between an engagement with colonialism and colonisation that intersects with a sense of childhood (and child-like?) nostalgia. Benson’s other work  certainly engages with issues of national identity, individualism, the environment and cultural heritage. That said, I am also not sure how to situate his work vis-à-vis the sort of Pākehā nationalism that venerates native flora and fauna, and the beaches and the outdoors, but that eschews more difficult questions about the widespread impacts of colonisation.

Perhaps most significantly, there’s the date of the wedding: Waitangi Day, which is so loaded with hope and potential, with historic and present day trauma, with celebration and anger and reflection, and with decades of struggle and suppression. I’m watching this as a first generation New Zealand-born Pākehā woman – Ngāti Tiriti – and I can’t tease out any sort of clear political point of view, at an individual level or otherwise.

All of this combines to create… I’m not sure what. The teacher in me wants to ask: what’s the thesis statement? If the purpose really is just surface level – Benson marries the land, and there are some stylish costumes and props – then it’s loaded with so much provocation that I don’t really know where to begin.

This combination of interest, perplexity and misgivings aside, the biggest source of disquiet for me is that a wedding is a reciprocal ritual, in which two make pledges to one another. In this work, Benson marries the land – but does the land marry Benson? The land certainly doesn’t have a physical proxy, or a voice in any of this, and this rewrites acts such as vows and consummation in a very confronting manner, especially given the date of performance. (Ironically-not ironically, one of the songs Benson sings is about losing his own voice and calling it to return, hoki mai, all while being present with the land yet isolated from others. Is the land, then, a means of facilitating individualistic self-knowledge and identity? Of tangibly anchoring a Pākehā identity in post-colonial New Zealand? RABBIT HOLE ALERT, etc.)

So: we are on the tiled floor of an art gallery, and backed by a tall, undulating wall of slightly tinted panes of glass that recalls the nearby Avon River / Ōtākaro, as well as the artesian spring that the gallery is built upon. Benson’s sweetly circular songs invoke birdsong, and refer to his affection for and affinity with the South Island, Banks Peninsula, Akaroa – outdoor spaces that were seen by colonists as empty land and by the tangata whenua as entities and ancestors with their own sense of personhood and familial connection. The copy for the event states that it “is a bold and visceral declaration of our relationship with the land, expressed through engaging pop music”. But, who is the ‘our’ mentioned here? Is this presence or absence of ‘the land’, then, a question that’s implicit in the work?

All other modes of interest and engagement aside, the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a strong point of view here really bothers me. This is especially so given the earnestness of some of the ritualistic elements, such as members of the audience-congregation pouring cups of coloured sand over Benson and ‘letting something go’ as he sings the final song. I’m left wondering how much workshopping this piece had, whether anyone else cast an eye over the performance as a piece of narrative, or whether there was any particular intent behind the work. There is so much contradictory, inconsisent information here that, as a friend puts it, I’d have liked for the wedding to have had a bar.

PS sorry about my crappy photos. That’s what you get at a wedding.

Branding, Marketing, Strategy, Tips / 29 Sep 2020
Dead Armadillos

There are so many brands, so many choices, so many claims, so much clutter. It’s not good enough anymore to be “pretty good” at everything. You have to be the MOST of something: The MOST elegant, the MOST colorful, the MOST responsive, the MOST accessible.

For decades organizations and their leaders were comfortable with strategies and practices that kept them in the middle of the road–that’s where the customers were, so that’s what felt safe and secure. Today, with so much change and uncertainty, so much pressure and new ways to do things, the middle of the road is the road to nowhere. As Jim Hightower, the colorful Texas populist, is fond of saying, “There’s nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos.” Companies and their leaders that play by the same old rules in a crowded marketplace aren’t going to make it. Think different and be the “Most” of something.

Film Review: Spider Forest (Geomi sup) (2004)

Rate This Movie

A recently widowed TV producer is drawn to an isolated cabin in a mysterious woods.

Il-gon Song’s Spider Forest is moody psychodrama that blurs the lines of reality to a point of completely confusion, never to really untangle them in a satisfying manner.

Recently widowed TV producer Kang Min (Woo-seong Kam) wakes up in a dark forest. Scared and confused, he wanders into a nearby cabin, only to find his girlfriend hacked to pieces and slowly dying, alongside a dead body of a strange man. Before he can react, he spots the murderer fleeing the scene and during the pursuit through the forest, Min gets attacked by him. Now badly wounded, he staggers to nearby highway and ends up getting hit by a passing car. If all of this was not bad enough, as soon as Min wakes up in the hospital, he finds out that he himself is the main suspect in the grisly murders. With the help of his police friend Choi (Hyun-Sung Jang), Min must try to piece together his fleeting memories in order to find out what really happened.

In the style of thrillers like Memento (2000) or The Machinist (2004), Spider Forest plays with the broken-down memories of its protagonist, creating a nonlinear storyline that jumps back and forth in time. I usually quite enjoy a thriller of this ilk and relish the opportunity to try to piece together the disorganized memories and flashbacks.

However, I could not get into Spider Forest no matter hard I tried.  After a strong start, the whole film is just like a never-ending fever dream that jumps about so much that often times it’s incredibly hard to know where you stand in the story. The atmosphere throughout the film is as dark as the forest Min find himself wandering in time and time again and there isn’t really anything to give this bleak and depressing story any kind of levity. Everyone cheats, abuses or kills each other and any friendships formed are torn apart by tragedy. I understand that this is the style of this type of thriller and very much a part of the bigger picture, and as I have already stated I have indeed enjoyed films like this before, but something about this particular murder mystery just felt exhausting. The constant bombardment of flashbacks, dream sequences and possible memories just gets tired after a while and I found myself yearning for a little bit for a respite from it all. I really do not mind films that don’t overly explain every little detail about their story arcs and usually I champion the “less is more” approach when it comes to horror mysteries, but in the case the Spider Forest maybe a little bit more could have been, well more; or at least made the whole damn thing a little bit more gratifying viewing.

Even though I will fully admit being completely puzzled by the plot and its many twists and turns, one thing I did guess from the very get go was the identity of the mystery murderer. This is probably due to the fact that the film is 16 years old and the same plot device has sense been used in numerous occasions, but it nevertheless felt like a bit of let down to know what’s going on ever before the film has even really got going. And perhaps it is here where my dislike of Spider Forest stems from: going through nearly two hours of constant confusion, only to find that I was right all along and the great reveal isn’t very revelatory at all does not make for a super enjoyable way to spend your time.

All that being said, Spider Forest is not a bad film. It has solid actors, great atmosphere and as far as mystery elements go, it has enough to share with a few other films and still have some left over. It just was not for me. Something about it just felt overly heavy and the convoluted plot structure was twisted up to a point of the whole thing feeling like cheap gimmick. Even so, if you are a fan of bleaker than bleak, labyrinthine murder mysteries, please give Spider Forest ago. Just because it was not my cup of tea, doesn’t mean it won’t be yours.

Looks like no boots… AGAIN

I arrived in Amsterdam at 8:30, and made my way through the terminal, passport control, baggage claim, and customs in just an hour. Erno was waiting to pick me up, and he hauled a very tired Howard from Amsterdam down to The Hague, roughly 40km to the southwest.

I bathed, changed clothes, and took a quick nap, and then hooked up with Eric from BrainStorm, who has been to the store in Amsterdam that sells New Rock boots. Unfortunately, we were both far too tired for a shopping adventure, so we wandered around a tiny slice of The Hague for an hour.

I doubt there will be another chance to get into Amsterdam. Oh well. It looks like my next opportunity will be late September in Las Vegas. On THAT trip I’ll have my car, the address of the store, and a city I’m fairly familiar with — all good conditions for a shopping trip.

Anyway, that recounting pretty much takes us to now, because after wandering around I took another nap, learned wireless was working, and came down to get my internet fix.

9 thoughts on “Looks like no boots… AGAIN”

  1. So I guess this means we get a grill? I’ve been imagining the joy of being able to cook without heating the whole house a lot lately. Not that boots aren’t really really cool. They just don’t cook anything.

    I hope you manage to shake the tired and the jet lag.

    1. What sort of grill are y’all looking at? They’re nice, the small BBQ-type ones, especially for when you don’t want to head outside into the rain or whatever. Or, in my case, snow. 😀

      Boots don’t taste very good when cooked either, but that’s another story. Hope y’all shake the jet-lag.

      1. Re: Grill?

        As a grill NUT (six inches of snow? No problem!) I concur. They’re good buy for the money, and you can still get parts for them, even the really old ones. I think mine’s about ten or twelve years old and still going strong.

  2. looking to buy a pair of New Rocks? i’ve heard nothing but good things about them from all my friends who own those big stompy things ^_^

  3. Why not..

    … just give someone your size and the style you’re looking for, and have them SHIP the boots, rather than have to travel halfway around the world just to get them? I buy stuff from Japan, but I sure wouldn’t if I actually had to GO to Japan to get it…

    1. Re: Why not..

      Boots must pass the “happy feet” test. Sizing, even within the same brand name, and sometimes within the same MODEL of boot is no guarantee that your feet will like being put in them. Thus my policy: Don’t buy a boot you’ve never had your feet in before.

  4. Out of curiosity, where in Vegas are you getting those boots? They looked remarkably cool, and I’m usually down there once every few months, I’d like to look into getting me a pair next time.

hello i love elizabeth bedlam: other author spotlight fridays

maybe not every friday but some fridays i’d like to shine a light on other independent and/or small press authors who i think are amazing and who i wish i’d known about years ago. most of these authors will be free on kindle unlimited or selling shorter titles for between $.99 and $2.99. let me start this adventurous column off by recommending that (in addition to my own works, of course, which you will enjoy if you like elizabeth bedlam and all of which are free on kindle unlimited at this link) you take a peek at horrotica pioneer elizabeth bedlam, the queen of b-movie horror erotica and an author i think every horror fan should read. and comedy fans. and erotica fans. basically, if you like ed wood, pulp fiction in general, puppet combo games and other vintage horror-inspired media, transgressive fiction, or just a fun fucked-up erotica story far from your usual kindle store bullshit, i would strongly encourage you to check out the one and only elizabeth bedlam. not only that but her productivity is phenomenal and i’m so jealous i’d like to cut off her precious hands and try all sorts of experiments to get their magic out for my own use. look at some of these great titles you’re missing out on:

just look at those titles. look at those covers. oh my god. these aren’t even my favorites and i swear every time i look they just get better and better. i love everything about them. i love the aesthetic effect and i love the concepts and have i mentioned i love her titles? holy shit. if they aren’t enough to convince you to invest fifteen minutes in reading one of her amazing shorts for free on kindle unlimited (follow this link) then you just have no sense of humor or are generally uncool and i don’t think i can help you. but if you wish horror and erotica could both stop taking themselves so fucking seriously for at least the length of a short story, please read elizabeth bedlam. if you have even the slightest iota of a sense of humor and love of kitsch, you’ll be super glad you did.

and also read me. regina watts. whose works including the horrotica cannibal love story dottie for you can be found here.

if you would like to be considered for an other author fridays post, talk to me about trading blogs, or are interested in exchanging reviews, you may do so through a message to publicity@paintedblindpublishing.com with ATTN: Regina in the title. i’ll consider everybody but i have peculiar tastes as u may be aware if u kno my work. xxxx

Success! You're on the list.

Alabama - Once Upon a Lifetime (text piesne)

Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the very first time
She was scared and young
And had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand
And a boy became a man
Once upon a lifetime.
And once upon a lifetime
You hold the queen of hearts
But if you gamble on a diamond when
The dealing starts
You stand to lose it all
As the cards begin to fall
And the lesson learned is hard
You're only dealt the queen of hearts
Once upon a lifetime,
So if you take a chance
Just know the chance you take
A broken heart's a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice.
And once upon a lifetime
You know that you've been blessed
When you hold your first born tenderly
Against your chest
And through the innocence you see
There you are the family
And you feel a special bond
That only comes along
Once upon a lifetime.
Repeat Chorus.
And people only find
A love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime
Outro- G - D

the patriotic call to the mighty dollar

“The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.” — Thomas Paine

Patriotism is the devoted love, support, and defense of one’s country; national loyalty.

Devoted love for one’s country is a strange bed fellow.  Defense of one’s country is very expensive but support seems a reasonable relationship to have with one’s country.

Here we go again it is about We The People. Hello, hello are you there ?

Governments are people and I support them as I would anyone that has my best interest. Yet in most cases this is not true as well as with all governments. We all know that governments are designed to govern the people.  We have so many parts to our government that it is overwhelming. Then there are the secret governments that do things behind We The People’s back.

If we engage in war are we actually defending our country? How can we be loyal to the love of this country if in one instance our President gives Americans health care and then strikes another country with weapons of mass destruction?

… I have seen that in any great undertaking it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself. ~ Shooter Teton Sioux

In ancient times church and government were not separate. Now we live in a time when business and government are not separate. This is a hardcore relationship. Their god is called economy and it is about the greedy individual instead of the devoted love, support, and defense of one’s country.

We call them corporations and they all have a separate legal entity, but with this entity there is no justice or universality. The only call is the patriotic call of the mighty dollar, and this pans out to debt, slavery and no accountability.

No I am not patriotic. I am a nature politician and hold the earth, this continent and all that live here in my hopeful heart. I am waiting for the time when “society begins to act” because “it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself.” [or money].

I realize this may be a whisper in my heart until the day I die!!

Author: Hudley Flipside

Welcome to Hudley Flipside’s “The Seminary Of Praying Mantis Publishing.” Praying mantis shows me her story of life, death, and rebirth. For me she is an image or symbol of the divine in all things. I watch the praying mantis in my garden and have taken her image as my logo. She is an amazing little creature, and I relate to her connection to nature. We are both wild and part of this strange world. She is a part of my mythology as I am part of hers.

188. Critical Thinking: How to Build A Career You’re Proud Of Without Burning Bridges

Rules of Work by Richard TemplarPublished in 2003, Richard Templar’s book The Rules Of Work: A Definitive Code For Personal Success outlines 108 rules to make your mark and move up in the corporate world as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Here are a few foundational rule clusters outlined in chapter 1 to get you started:

First and foremost, your current station in life is nothing more than a mere temporary stepping stone to your next great leap, and ideally you should spend 50% of your working hours fulfilling your core job responsibilities, with the other 50% of your time invested in planning and preparing for your next promotion or entrepreneural project.

Spend any length of time in a company and patterns will emerge: from the secretaries to the sales teams, the maintenance crew to the big, big bosses, the way they walk, talk, dress and move through the office is congruent to their status and position within the company. Fail to notice and fit into the company mold, and your chances of moving up in the company are slim, regardless of your experience, education, and ‘how much better of a manager you’d be than your colleagues.’ Watch what the managers do, and then copy them.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: For more on reading people and uncovering behavior patterns, watch my lecture Managing Age, Culture & Personality Differences, Jerks & Assholes, and read my interview with Brand Listener Peter Spear on how to ask people questions so you get the answers you want.

Also, Mark McCormack observes in his book What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School that:

  • The difference between people who are smart versus people who think they’re smart are that the people who think they are smart usually never make it past middle managerial ranks, blaming everything and everyone but themselves for their inability to move up.
  • Every person in your company has his or her own individual ego that must be managed, which usually explains why dumb ideas get implemented, why smart ideas get rejected, and why the entire decision-making process takes longer than it should.
  • Around 75% of any job are company-set responsibilities, and 25% your own personal style. This 25% is what you must exploit to stand out and develop a reputation for yourself.]

Simply copy/pasting management behavior might get you promoted once or twice, but that mentality won’t be enough for upper-management. You must take it a step further by becoming known as an expert in something unique, relevant, teachable, and transferrable:

  • Unique – your expertise must be a skill nobody else in the office can do, thereby giving you a monopolistic competitive advantage.
  • Relevant – your expertise must demonstrably improve the company and contribute to the bottom line.
  • Teachable – your expertise must be something that you can also explain and teach to others (while not giving away your competitive advantage). The ability to train and equip employees is a central managerial role in high-quality companies, thus making you the first pick for promotion.
  • Transferrable – your expertise must be applicable to other departments within the company, otherwise you will never be promoted because you’ll have become ‘too valuable of an asset’ to promote.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: For more on monopolistic competitive advantage, watch the Y combinator lecture Competition Is For Losers; Aim For Monopoly by Peter Thiel at Stanford University.

For more on creating a recruiting competitive advantage, watch the lecture Human Resources Management: Mega-Trends of Competitive Advantage by Armin Trost at Hochschule Furtwangen University.]

One of the best ways to demonstrate your worth and promotion potential is to show you actually care by strategically volunteering your time and taking the initiative and looking beyond the little responsibilities you’re paid to do, taking an interest in the bigger picture of the company, looking for ways of improving the company’s efficiency and productivity (often referred to as lean management), and then turning your findings into competent and actionable reports for your bosses to read and forward to their bosses.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: Ideas for improving your company’s processes may be as easy as looking at industry ‘best practices.’ For more on this, check out the book Best Practices: Building Your Business with Customer-Focused Solutions by Arthur Andersen, Robert Hiebeler, Thomas Kelly, and Charles Ketteman.]

It’s important to understand the importance of strategic volunteering: this doesn’t mean saying ‘Yes’ to everything you’re asked to; it means knowing which projects and tasks bring you closer towards your short- and long-term goals. Volunteering to help your boss’s boss organize one of her department’s filing cabinets may help you build a relationship with her, but how could that damage your reputation and promotion if that means uncomfortably and clumsily spending your entire day on your hands and knees with files spread out all around you looking like a complete idiot. Also, take into account that you may have been ‘volunteered’ because everyone else successfully found ways to ‘get out’ of being volunteered.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: Referring back to Mark McCormack’s book What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School, most CEOs are frustrated with their international divisions, which could mean a lucrative opportunity to move up quickly in a company while gaining invaluable international experience, but be wary of ‘opportunities’ to head up or take over aready-existing projects:

  • Failing projects may be unsaveable, and accepting to manage the project as it sinks will probably do more damage to your career than good, as you become attached to the failed project.
  • Likewise taking over an already successful and lucrative project may do little to build your reputation because any improvements you do make are likely to be insignificant, and the people who have already gotten the credit for the project may have already moved on to bigger and better things.]

Lastly, building upon the previous rule cluster, a great opportunity in strategic volunteering and relationship building is helping others fix problems because a “a clever man learns from his own mistakes, but a wise man learns from others’ mistakes… We all make mistakes, but the fewer you make the better.”

[EDITOR’S NOTE: For more on negotiation strategy and relationship building, watch the lectures:

Steven Greer Comments on the Arrival of the False Flag Alien Invasion

For decades the U.S. public has been programmed to believe that disclosure of any genuine alien or extraterrestrial presence on earth will come as a threat, likely in the form of an all out hostile invasion of our planet.

In such a scenario, our only savior would be a united human race armed to the teeth with the incredibly sophisticated weaponry of the military industrial complex.

Hollywood has done its job of creating and reinforcing this perception with movie after movie of man vs. extraterrestrial.

Always swashbuckling, always explosive, it’s a decades long, high-dollar smear campaign that defies the personal experiences of an untold number of people who’ve had contact with other worldly beings, often describing them as peaceful.

It also defies very credible accounts of ET interference with the world’s nuclear arms, which suggest that an ET presence may actually be working for the benefit of humanity and the planet.

A massive ongoing effort such as this has a strategic purpose, though, and the Pentagon has finally revealed the objective, poorly concealed within the recent mini-disclosure published in the New York Times, Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program.

Hollywood portrays aliens in an overwhelmingly negative light

In short, it is a program managed by the intelligence community as a means of funneling evermore public money into the coffers of defense contractors, while weaponizing space to increase domination over the human race, and manipulating human consciousness to constrict our understanding of the connection between the material world and inter-dimensional realities.

For years now, renowned alien researcher Steven M. Greer, has been warning that an orchestrated, fake alien invasion has been in the works since the end of World War II, and that this false flag invasion would soon be forthcoming.

Commenting on the recent revelation by the New York Times and how it perfectly fits in with this deeps state strategy, Greer recently spoke candidly with Ryan McCormick of The Outer Limits of Inner Truth Radio.

“In the 1950’s it was decided this would be kept very secret, but that when it came out they would present it as a threat when they had pretty much exhausted, or needed to bring the world together around a common alien threat.” ~ Steven M. Greer

According to Greer, it appears the intelligence community is finally playing the threat card and is now casually introducing the public to the idea of secretive defense programs in preparation for a war with extraterrestrials.

“The media does not cover this issue unless they are instructed to do so by the people in the intelligence community and for specific reasons. So, the coverage on this, which was widespread, was orchestrated, but it had within it a subliminal message of a threat from space.” ~ Steven M. Greer

The full interview with Greer and McCormickcan be heard below:

Beyond the endgame of greater control and unlimited black budget war spending, the suppression of information on the extraterrestrial presence on earth serves to keep us enslaved to the 1800’s economic model of human civilization.

Having expanded to supply carbon based power to over 7 billion people, this outdated ecological nightmare is maintained by legacy industries who prevent the development of truly clean energy technologies.

Furthermore, this economic and political model is explicitly designed to perpetuate war and the destruction of civilizations on earth. We are locked into the horrors of ecocide and genocide, and until we wake up and overturn this paradigm, our future is indeed bleak.

According to Greer:

“The real question we need to ask is: what could our society be like without the repression of this information and without a threat based view of existence?

“They don’t want to come out in a way that doesn’t further empower war. So I tell people, we have a choice here. The future is universal peace or endless war and destruction.” ~ Steven M. Greer

Rob Zombie offers first look at his version of Herman Munster

July 22 (UPI) — Director Rob Zombie posted on social media photos of what the star of his new version of The Munsters will look like.

“The clay is out and the sculpting has begun on a very prominent brow for THE MUNSTERS. #robzombie #themunsters #hermanmunster,” Zombie captioned the images of a model of his monster Herman’s enormous scarred forehead.

The Universal movie is inspired by The Munsters TV sitcom, which aired 1964-66.

Fred Gwynne played Herman Munster, the Frankenstein’s creature-style patriarch of a family that included vampires and werewolves.

No casting has been announced yet for the project, which will be filmed in Budapest.

Earlier this week, Zombie shared images of the location where the set will be built and blueprints for the mansion and neighborhood where his creepy characters will live.

“We aren’t just building the Munsters house. We are building all of Mockingbird Heights! It’s a big job, but somebody’s got to do it,” he posted.

Zombie is a heavy metal singer and founder of the band White Zombie. His film credits include House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, a Halloween remake and its sequel, The Lords of Salem and 31.

President Paul Kagame of Rwanda officially opened a smartphone manufacturing plant in the East African country on Monday 7 October 2019. The factory has been built by an African smartphone brand, Mara Phones, which forms part of the Mara Group of companies founded by Ashish J. Thakkar.

The smartphone factory is reported to have the capacity to manufacture (or assemble) more than 2 million smartphones in one calendar year.

“Producing smartphones is not a simple matter. Around one thousand individual components are involved. The Mara Phones plant is, therefore, a complex manufacturing operation, requiring significant technical skills and expertise. It is another milestone on our journey to high-tech, “made-in-Rwanda” industry. Our world is changing fast. Keeping pace requires constant innovation. This is the path Rwanda has chosen for our development. The investment by Mara Phones Group is therefore in perfect harmony with our focus on science and technology as the key drivers of our economic transformation.” said Rwanda's President Kagame at the official launch of Mara Phones manufacturing plant.

Mara Phones Factory. Kigali, Rwanda

Second factory in Africa

Mara Phones seems to be on a mission as the Kigali factory is their second on the continent. With the first one being the factory in Durban, South Africa.

Earlier in 2019, Mara Phones announced the commercial availability of their smartphones to the public and confirmed that these were being manufactured in Durban when speaking to iAfrikan. However, the South African plant will only be officially opened on 17 October 2019 at a grand opening which will see President Cyril Ramaphosa in attendance.

Although praised by many as the first such smartphone brand made in Africa, the continent has a long history of smartphone brands with varying levels long before the Mara Phones were announced. These include brands such as MobiCel, AfriOne, and miFone, to name but a few.

Assembly line

What has not been explicitly clear is whether the Mara Phones factory in Kigali is a assembly plant or a manufacturing plant.

There is a big difference between an assembly plant where various parts are imported and assembled together to form a smartphone and a manufacturing plant. Having said that, the opening of the plant in Kigali is a commendable announcement as far as job creation goes and ensuring that Africa participates and benefits from the mobile phone industry supply chain.

Health Indicator Report of Death Rate from All Causes

The overall death rate of a population reflects the average life expectancy of individuals in that population. The lower the death rate, the higher the life expectancy.

Age-adjusted to the U.S. 2000 standard population.   U.S. Rate is for 2014.

Data Sources

  • New Mexico Death Data: Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics (BVRHS), New Mexico Department of Health.
  • Population Estimates: University of New Mexico, Geospatial and Population Studies (GPS) Program,
  • U.S. Data Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics.

Data Interpretation Issues

The age-adjusted death rate is used to compare across different populations that have different age distributions, such as comparing across years, race/ethnic groups and New Mexico versus the United States. The age-adjusted rate controls for the effect of age on the rate. It is useful for comparison, but does not indicate the magnitude of the actual rate.

Age-adjusted death rate from all causes of death is the number of deaths per 100,000 U.S.standard population.

Total number of deaths from all causes

Total population during the same time period

How Are We Doing?

In 2014, there were 17,564 deaths among New Mexico residents, yielding an age-adjusted death rate of 784.5 deaths per 100,000.

How Do We Compare With the U.S.?

New Mexico's age-adjusted, all-cause death rate has historically been lower than the U.S. rate. However, in recent years, the U.S. rate has been declining, while the New Mexico rate has not, and has even increased slightly.

Evidence-based Practices

Reducing the all-cause death rate would be accomplished by reducing early deaths from the leading causes of death in New Mexico, including childhood injury motor vehicle crashes, heart attack, stroke, cancers, diabetes, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and influenza and pneumonia.

Although unintentional CO poisoning can almost always be prevented, CO is the most common cause of poisoning deaths in the United States and every year more than 20 New Mexicans die as a result of accidental or unintentional exposure to this toxic gas. Patients who survive are likely to develop long-term neurological problems. The CO poisoning hospitalizations data can be used to assess the burden of severe CO poisoning, monitor trends over time, and to inform CO exposure prevention, education, and evaluation efforts to prevent poisoning.

Data Interpretation Issues

The data are based on the ICD codes from the New Mexico Hospital Inpatient Discharge Data (HIDD) files 1999 - 2009; ICD9-CM codes 986 or E868.2, E868.3, E868.8, E868.9, E952.0, E952.1, E982.0, or E982.1, were either the primary or a contributing condition, or ICD-10-CM codes T58.01, T58.04, T58.11, T58.14, T58.2X1, T58.2X4, T58.8X1, T58.8X4, T58.91 or T58.94 without any of the following accompanying diagnosis codes: X01-X08. Admissions are grouped as 'any-listed'. 'Any-listed' admissions are all admissions in which carbon monoxide poisoning was one of the ten possible diagnoses listed for the hospital admission. If 'First-listed' admissions are needed, those include only the admissions in which carbon monoxide poisoning was the first diagnosis listed (coded) for the hospitalizations, then users are directed to

Hospitalizations for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are the admissions of New Mexico residents due to unintentional/accidental CO poisoning. These CO poisoning admissions could be fire-related, non-fire-related or of unknown cause/origin. Measures are: 1) annual number of hospitalizations from carbon monoxide poisoning; 2) Annual crude carbon monoxide poisoning hospitalization rate; and 3) Annual age-adjusted carbon monoxide poisoning hospitalization rate. Rates are per 100,000 population. Age-adjusted rates are calculated by the direct method to the Year 2000 US Standard population,, Age Standardization of Death Rates: Implementation of the Year 2000 Standard by Robert N. Anderson, Ph.D., and Harry M. Rosenberg, Ph.D., National Vital Statistics Reports From the CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics System, Volume 47, Number 3.

(Not So) Quiet Faith from the Woes

More goodness from NYC band The Woes. For a powerful, stompin’, folky-Poguesish romp, listen to this tune off of their latest CD, That Coke Oven March.

The Ickmusic Stamp of Approval is rendered upon this one (dingggg)… Start your day right, crank this one while you’re in the shower first thing in the morning. Tried and tested! Better than an Iced Venti Mocha!

The Woes: Quiet Faith (mp3)

Now be a good boy or girl and buy the CD.

text: Sony has developed a 200GB 8-layer version of their Blu-ray disc technology they are pushing as the successor to the current DVD format. The forthcoming Playstation 3 will most likely use the 54GB version of Blu-ray Discs. The competing technology is called HD-DVD. It only holds about 30GB of data, but it is much easier (read cheaper) to produce and existing DVD production plants can be converted over with little effort. A couple of years ago my money would have been on the Sony format, but they’ve been increasingly flailing with their proprietary formats… witness Minidisc and ATRAC-3. Sony is also pushing their new SACD format as the successor to the CD, but I suspect the competing DVD-A format will ultimately win out due to the large technical hurdles present in creating SACD content. Blu-ray does seem pretty darn cool, but I don’t think it’ll end up as the next generation DVD.

Greeting cards are an important piece of communication that people don't often utilize as much they can. This paper explores many aspects of these small paper cards including the looks of the current greeting card market, an average consumer's relationship to greeting cards, and how professionals create them. With technology and social media as a distraction, it can be more difficult to remember to send cards, and their great impact can be forgotten. The project got its origins after reflecting upon how much greeting cards have had an impact on my own life and wondering how they affect the lives of other people. All of the research leads up to an investigation and attempt to making a mark in this market. This includes the creation of a line of professionally printed cards designed to encourage the causal exchange of greeting cards with in the local community.

The California “The”

I have lived in California for a long time.  I’m not quite at the point where I can say that I’ve lived here longer than I’ve lived anywhere else.  I’ve lived in Hawaii for much longer (but I’m almost there).

If you live in California for awhile, you find Californians referring to things as “the” River or “the” 5.  No matter what we are talking about, we refer to things as “the” one and “the” only.  It shows up in our language, but then it’s backed up in our attitude and behavior.  You can’t really escape it.  If you’ve ever experience it before, you might be able to trace it back as “the” experience.  It is part of “the” California identity.

3 thoughts on “The California “The”

  1. I’ve thought about this before. It’s part of our Californian self-centerdness. Even though Interstate 10 crosses numerous states, we refer to it as “The 10”. It’s ours, it belongs to us.

  2. Unless of course you live in NorCal… There’s no “the.” In fact it’s an easy way to figure out who’s a native Nor Cal and who moved from SoCal! (speaking as a person who has lived in both but originally from neither)
