Kansas City in the News

Not for anything good of course:

"Nothing makes me more angry," said Sen. Mitch McConnell at a health care town hall in Kansas City today, "… than the suggestion that America does not already have the finest health care in the world." Sen. John McCain, appearing alongside him, agreed: "The quality of health care in America is the best in the world." Contrast that with what health care journalist T.R. Reid writes in his new book comparing various global health care systems: "Today, any U.S. politician who dared to make that claim … would be hooted out of the room." Reid clearly has yet to visit Kansas City.
Hey man, don't shoot the messenger! Or the city that hosted the messenger? Or the...you know what I mean.

But you can make comments like that when your "town hall" meeting is only 100 people that were by invitation only... Wonder why I didn't get invited?

The World of the IX Series: (Link in sidebar)
A Reaper in Hell: (Link in sidebar)

Sunday, December 28, 2014

Coming Soon

Coming Early 2015 from Perseid Press, The IX, an epic novel spanning past, present, and future:

The ultimatum: Fight or die.

Roman legionnaires, far from home, lost in the mists of Caledonia; a US cavalry company on a special mission for Presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln; and a Special Forces unit from the 21st century, desperate to prevent nuclear catastrophe:

Snatched away from Earth at the moment of death to a failing planet far away, these misfit soldiers must unite against a relentless foe, where the cost of victory may be more than they're willing to pay.

How far will they go to stay alive?
Early praise for The IX:

"Weston's mix of history, metaphysics and real science ventures into territory not often explored in science fiction. What happened to the IX Legion of ancient Rome? Find out here, where Past, Present and Future are masterfully blended in an epic novel that takes classic elements to new heights. Weston has a true gift for superb storytelling and memorable characters. This one is not to be missed." --- Joe Bonadonna, author of Mad Shadows: The Weird Tales of Dorgo the Dowser, Three Against The Stars, and others.

Losing it...Cowboy Joe

August 26, 2006

The much awaited, highly anticipated Dahl girl’s race last weekend was pretty much a bust. Instead of running the Silver State Marathon, we held an impromptu family reunion in the waiting room of the intensive care unit of Washoe Med. Our dear, sweet dad wrecked his plane on Saturday along with an inordinate amount of himself.
What started out as a nasty compound fracture to his ankle and basic fear and worry on our part, escalated into a list of damage that included a collapsed lung, a torn aorta, and a room full of hysterical daughters.

He’s on the mend now, but it was a week of ups and downs. From walking into the ICU after his surgery, knowing he didn’t know we were there, but looking desperately through tubes and machines for anything that resembles your dad, to the next day helping him write a frail note and deciphering the chicken scratch to find out all he really wanted was a Coke and for Harvey to go back to play football. There are just so many emotions to deal with.
One of the lessons we all agreed is most valuable is how to be a better friend. So often I think, we just don’t know what to do when someone gets hurt or dead, but it was such a good experience to talk with all the friends and family who called and sit with the people who came to visit. It breaks up the monotony and gives you something else to think about and it reminds you how much he is loved, and how many people love all of us.

At one point my Aunt Olivia, Dad’s sister who lives in Sparks, brought in a complete meal including dessert and a table cloth and we all sat around with a batch of friends who happened to be in the right place at the right time and had a fairly normal family dinner right there in the first floor waiting room. It taught me that it’s ok to bother people in trauma and that friends aren’t really a bother at all, but a huge blessing.

Another lesson was a reminder of the power of prayer. This week we have been blessed by all the people we know who talk to God and who sent their prayers for our dad and we are so grateful.

Molly told him yesterday with a little laugh that he pretty much had the religions of the world covered. One of her friends brought a Tibetan prayer scarf that we tied on his bed, and another lit a candle for him in the National Cathedral in Washington DC. The Mormons in Boise, Washington DC, and Reno were praying for him in their temples, and some of my cousin’s Jewish and Muslim friends were doing their praying. The Nazarenes, and the COGIC churches in Fallon along with all of our other friends who asked what they could do, sent a reverse rainstorm of prayers on dad’s behalf. One of the nurses told my step mom that she was so glad he had so much support and praying. She said she had been a nurse for a long time and that prayers work. And from what the doctors told us on Saturday, they were the only thing that did.

I remember a subtle change in my dad a couple of years ago when his dad died after a long and productive life. My dad seemed so happy and almost boyish and I couldn’t understand it. When I asked him what the hell was wrong with him and why he wasn’t sad, he said that his dad had lived a full life and was at peace with himself and was not afraid to die. He also said that we needed to remember that we are still alive and that life is so good and that we should enjoy every second we’ve got here. My dad told me then that he was not afraid to die, but I was afraid this week that he would and I knew he wasn’t done living. There isn’t anyone who likes being alive more than he does and I’m glad he still is.

Today he is fighting the tubes and the bed and the nurses. His doctors said they were pretty much done repairing him at this point and from here on out is just recovery. He keeps writing to whoever goes in to visit that he wants to go home, “I’m ok, let’s go home.” Yesterday he flung his mangled up leg over the side of the bed rail and was headed out of there. Who knows what he would have done with the ventilator but by heck, he’s still got things to do in this life. Let’s get on with it.

Losing it...Remember When

August 12, 2005

When we were little kids my mom would very often drop the “I remember when…” phrase as the beginning to stories about her life as a child. We would be in Reno shopping for buckle-up oxford Stride-Rites and she would say something like, “Oh, I remember in high school when there weren’t any houses out here and we would come out to the stable on Baker Lane and ride horses out through the fields. Things have just changed so much.”
Maybe that explains my constant story-telling to the under-aged captives who have no choice but to listen to a similar theme as we drive from various activities and practices past the landmarks of my childhood.
From Coleman Road south on Venturacci, I point out the houses that have sprung up where corn fields had grown for as far back as my memory goes. “I remember when the school bus came down this road to drop off the first and second graders at Northside and we were eye level with the tops of the corn when we looked straight out the bus windows.”
“I remember when they moved the train depot to Williams Avenue and turned it into a restaurant, when you went to the Rusty Spur for the best steak in town, my first “grown-up” job was being a clerk at Kolhoss Grocery on Maine Street and people came to buy cigarettes for a dollar-four. We got school clothes upstairs in the Penny’s building right across the street, and on the last day of school every year we got to have the PTA Day Parade.”
My kids are amazed by the stories and they say horrible things like, “Mom! Did you live in the olden days?”
The other night after a city council meeting a small group of concerned citizens were gathered out back of city hall, solemnly chatting about the changes that have come with Fallon’s booming growth. They were resigned to the realities of development coming to their neighborhood, accepting the inevitable transformation of their world. An impromptu session of “Remember When” started up, that for a “sense of place” junkie like me, was pure oxygen.
They talked about when Dairy Queen was on Maine Street and as kids they would cruise the parking lot. Since we did the same thing in the 80’s when I was in high school, I was amazed to know that they had done the same thing back in the real olden days.
They remembered when Hillyard’s drug store was on the corner, and the Starvin’ Marvin’ restaurant was in the pie shaped property where Auction Road comes into Williams.
And then they talked for a while about the old fair grounds, which used to be on Williams Avenue, between Venturacci and Auction Road, and the Dry Gulch—where every Labor Day everyone who had ever gone to school here went when they came home and you had to go down and see all the people you grew up with.
They told about the hay palace that was built every year at the county fair, and the stock car races that used to be held in the arena at the fairgrounds right down town and how the kids would play under the grand stands and collect the empty soda bottles.
I remembered that my 4-H sewing club in fourth grade was held in Dry Gulch on Wednesday afternoons after school and I had to walk there all by myself from West End, and that year I made a little blue apron that I still have.
It’s funny how we are shaped by our landmarks and the shared memories of a place—the people we knew there, the experiences we had. Even though these places may have a different meanings for each of us, having collective memories of the places we have been is a very real part of who we are and in a large part what makes us a community.
And the beautiful thing about Fallon is that it doesn’t take a long time to become a part of it. New memories are made every day, and the things we do now—the places we meet and the times we have together are going to be “the olden days” before we know it. Progress marches on, but we do a good job of reminding each other of where we’ve been and preserving the memories that define us.
My life has been defined by this community. I felt a part of it early on, and it felt good to know where I fit in the world. Perhaps the one permanent memory etched forever in the place that makes me who I am, is the reminder I saw out of the school bus window twice a day until fifth grade. The neon cowboy sign at the Lariat Motel burning an image of “God Bless American” boldly and permanently into my conscience. For me it’s the symbol of where I belong—God Bless Fallon.

Anesthesiology 10 2015, Vol.123, 981. doi:10.1097/ALN.0000000000000782
The drama of inhaled anesthesia is rich in colorful players, and Thomas Dent Mütter (1811–1859) is qualified in that regard. Immediately after Ether Day in Boston (October 16, 1846), he introduced surgical etherization in Philadelphia against academic opposition. Anesthesia is not the sole focus of this rich biography, but there is much pith pertaining to our field, and we should remember Mütter.
Mütter earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania when he was 20 yr old. He then worked as a surgeon’s mate aboard a ship so that he could study surgery in Paris. Aptowicz proposes that American surgical students of the time flocked to Paris because of the relative acceptance of anatomical dissection there. Of course, there were other attractions, including an ambiance nicely conveyed in the book. Armed with Parisian lessons, contacts, and élan, Mütter proved a gifted surgeon upon return to Philadelphia. In particular, he was noted for plastic surgery for patients with cleft palate and others with cutaneous contractures after burns. He was the inaugural Professor and Chair of Surgery at Jefferson Medical College from 1841 to 1856. Some of his policies are of particular interest to an anesthesia audience. For instance, he spent much time preparing patients psychologically for surgery. This included repeated massage of tissues he would later be operating upon in the awake patients. When Aptowicz stressed the strong rapport of Mütter and his patients, I was reminded of a classic article by Henry K. Beecher (see Egbert et al.1). Mütter clearly had a sense of the importance of context in the experience of pain, and he probably also had appreciation of the placebo response. At the same time, he strove for patients to be fully informed of that to which they consented. Mütter also recognized the importance of postoperative care. Rather than shuffle freshly postoperative patients off to home in horse-drawn carts, he successfully campaigned for recovery rooms and postsurgery wards.
Ether Day of 1846 is recounted at about the mid-point of the book. Aptowicz does not dwell on the events in Boston, and sticklers might quibble with her account. She implies that William T. G. Morton (1819–1868, dentist, administered ether anesthesia on October 16, 1846, Massachusetts General Hospital) had sometimes blended ether with nitrous oxide. The important point is that Mütter embraced etherization for surgery and was the first to use it in Philadelphia (in December 1846). It would be interesting to learn how he prepared for his first administration of ether anesthesia to a patient, and I wonder if Mütter, like Crawford Long (1815–1878, surgeon, administered the first clinical ether anesthetic in 1842), had witnessed frolics while a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania. However that may be, Aptowicz documents impressive skepticism toward inhaled anesthesia in the influential city of Mütter. The leading foe was Charles D. Meigs (1792–1869, Professor of Obstetrics at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Meigs elicited a 7-yr moratorium on inhaled anesthesia from the trustees of Jefferson, and he routinely overdosed sheep with lethal doses of ether as warning demonstrations to medical students.
Edward R. Squibb (1819–1900, manufacturer of pharmaceuticals) was a medical student at Jefferson before he founded a root of the firm of Bristol-Myers Squibb. He initially sided with Meigs on the danger of etherization, but he soon became the major producer of reliably pure ether required for predictable anesthesia.
Professor Meigs is of course known to historians for his opposition to the idea of contagion in puerperal fever. Aptowicz paints him as a thoughtful person who was overly conservative at the “dawn of modern medicine.” Among his contemporaries, Mütter was unusually clean and tidy in his operating attire and instrumentation. However, he was not prescient enough to lead the way to aseptic surgery. Indeed, he succumbed to tuberculosis at the age of 48 yr, and he may have spread that scourge. Throughout the book, Aptowicz emphasizes Mütter’s compassion; knowledge of his contagiousness would have stopped his career even earlier.
Even though Mütter did not explicitly hit on the idea of aseptic surgery, it was fortuitous for anesthesiology that he practiced fairly clean surgery. Aptowicz points out that, early on, anesthesia did not obviously improve perioperative mortality. Mütter could not have championed anesthesia had his patients suffered the ordinary rates of sepsis.
It is interesting that much of Mütter’s surgical practice was needed because of the unsafe work environments that most laborers had to accept. For instance, his burn-scarred patients had been working near flames while dressed in flammable clothing. Ironically, many matchstick factory workers came to him with jaw necrosis from chemical poisoning. Aptowicz provides broad socioeconomic, political, educational, and scientific perspectives of Mütter’s world.
I primarily enjoyed this book as a means to get a better sense of the surgery scene of the mid-1800s. There are many graphic and revealing anecdotes best told by Aptowicz. The book would be a good prelude to a visit to the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia (, accessed July 24, 2015). At least one contemporary likened Mütter to P. T. Barnum (1810–1891, showman, founder of Barnum’s American Museum and, later, the eponymous circus) in that he had a flair for kindling public interest. Mütter gathered many exhibition pieces, and his collection has been preserved and extended by the College of Physicians of Philadelphia (, accessed July 24, 2015). I see that, like myself, Aptowicz first visited the museum on a class trip during young school days.
Aptowicz supplements the paperback version of the book in an enhanced e-book edition with added audio information and insights about Mütter and his times (see also, accessed July 24, 2015).

My Gift to the King by Sheryl Giesbrecht

It was a week before Christmas; a woman in the rush of her last-minute shopping bought a box of fifty identical greeting cards. Without bothering to read what the card said, she quickly signed and addressed all but one of them. A few days after they had been mailed she came across the one card that hadn’t been sent. She was horrified to read, “This card is just to say, a little gift is on the way!”

Gift-giving is just one of our many Christmas traditions. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only son, Jesus, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” Truly Jesus is the best gift we would ever want to receive.

One year a friend gave me a Christmas devotional book that turned my holiday traditions upside down. Anne Graham Lotz shared her custom of asking King Jesus what gift he would like for his birthday. God wants us to give freely out of our love for him as an act of worship. This process of intentionally and sacrificially giving a "love gift to my King" is something I have added to my personal Christmas traditions. I wonder, have you ever thought about giving Jesus a gift? Maybe this year you might ask Him what He would like you to give Him.

Each year, as the Christmas holidays approach, I ask the King what he would like for his birthday. I remember Anne Graham Lotz’s criteria: “Something I would not do except the King requested it. And it is something I could not do except the King enabled me,” (Christmas Memories by Terri Meeusen pg. 159).

One year the King began asking me for His gift in September when a local high school contacted me to develop a truant program. I didn’t feel qualified. Lotz’ words rang in my mind: “Something I would not do except the king requested it. And it is something I could not do except the king enabled me.” “God, not me," I argued. I remembered what God brought me out of; I was a rebellious and promiscuous teenager, chain-smoker, alcoholic, drug addict, and drug dealer who cut class all but five days my junior year of high school. At age seventeen, I went to work at a Christian camp and there I was shown the love of God through the experience of working transformed believers. I was shown God’s love could cover a multitude of sins. Now He asked me to share this same love with those who are looking for love in all the wrong places. I committed to doing the King’s bidding.

What gift will you give your King this year? Maybe God is asking you to serve in your child’s classroom at school or teach a Sunday school class. Or maybe God is calling you to prayer or to spend more time with Him? Maybe Your King is asking you to give Him control over a situation?

"Something I would not do except the King requested it. And it is something I could not do except the King enabled me." Ask the King for His gift suggestion. When He impresses on your heart the gift He desires, offer it to Him as your gift of thanks for His indescribable gift, His Son, Jesus.

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.” (I Cor 9:15)

"Exchanging hurt for hope" is Sheryl Giesbrecht's focus. She loves to share how God rearranges loss, bitterness, and mistakes, and turns them into something remarkably beautiful. Learn more about Sheryl and her book, Get Back Up, at her website.

Greenhouse Garden and Shimmer Paint.

Hi readers,

I have a cute little project for you today that uses one of Stampin' Up!'s fabulous 2-Step Stamp sets named Greenhouse Garden. You can find it on page 81 of the 2010 - 11 Idea Book and Catalogue.

The 2-Step stamp sets make it wonderfully easy to create  realistic images - all you need to do is use your trusty Stamp-a-majig to align the two stamps.

I made this little 3 x 3 inch note card by cutting some card into 3 x 6 inch pieces and folding it in half.

Stamp the floral image onto Vanilla card stock using Bravo Burgundy Classic Ink by Stampin' Up! Align the details (stamped in black) using the Stamp-A-Majig. You can't see it in the photo but in real life I stamped the details with Champagne Shimmer Mist first then rotated the stamp a little and re-stamped in black. there is quite a nice detail visible on the card.
Cut out the image  using Paper Snips.

Next I took a piece of River Rock card and ran it through the Big Shot using the Elegant Lines Embossing folder.

Cut down to the appropriate size and apply Champagne Shimmer Mist with a Sponge Dauber. That way you can cover some of the background as well as the raised areas of the embossed card. Sponge the edges with Bravo Burgundy ink and mat onto Bravo Burgundy card stock.

Attach all of this to the card front.

Stamp out one of the Teeny Tiny Sentiments, and punch out with the Jewellery Tag Medium Punch. Dust the tag edges with a little Bravo Burgundy and tie through with some Linen Thread.

Raise the flower image on one dimensional, tie the Linen thread around the dimensional and attach all to the card. Finished.

I think it took me longer to write this post than it did to actually make the card. They would make a lovely gift tag or group 4 - 6 together, add some of Stampin Up's Mini Square Envelopes, tie with some ribbon and you have a lovely gift.

Thanks for visiting! I'd love you to leave a comment and let me know you've stopped by.

Until next time

Stay Crafty,

get lifted

I've posted a track off 'OST/Original Block Party Edits' before; it's a pretty good compilation with a good few bombs on it. I can't really say what my issue with it is though; with names like DJ Harvey, Black Science Orchestra, Fug, and Tim 'Love' Lee doing the edits I half expected my CD player to explode, I tell ya it did not. Sadly not available on Vinyl, unless you collected all the originals from Original Soundtrack Recordings (the label, right, from whence these edits originate), this compilation is worth finding, though not for playing from start to end.

As far as I can tell this George McCrae re-edit from Mischief Brew (who they?) actually never came out on vinyl anyway (nooooo!!). It's a damn fine slow and sexy Disco Funk groove that's been playfully extended (it reminds me of an R.E. edit) to snake charm your hips into booty shakin' , just don't do it front of yer mum.

George McCrae - I Got Lifted (Mischief Brew Re-edit)

jimk666 said...

the album 'OST Block Party Edits' was issued on 2xLP in a gate fold sleeve through EMI a couple of years ago
the pressing wasn't the greatest, still playable and if i'm not mistaken is probably still in circulation. i sourced a brand new copy for a customer order [i work in a record store] via UK distribution about a year ago ...

btw_ me like ur blog.

christopher keys said...

dalestephen said...

Yeah Chris , got me a copy of the vinyl version, as previously stated, pressings are kinda average, but I love the instrumental of "make me beleive in you" and " shack up".

lovn' the site lately.. lots new info to check out ... keep it up

peace dale

Miguel said...

that edit came out on vinyl..

christopher keys said...

Hey Dale & Miguel - thanks, im on the hunt for it as we speak.. hope you're both well. Dale I got plenty more exciting stuff to check out over the next week or so, just loving doing this blog and music in general at the moment... erm always :)

kelvin brown said...

Hi mate,

if memory serves correct that The George McCrae edit was by Martin Brew, the old manager of Fat City record in manchester, and one half of J-Walk

A horrifying experience

Almost two hours ago, Mike and I brought home our 20-year-old daughter Margaret from the hospital. We'd spent more than three hours in the emergency room with her after she was attacked by our livestock guardian dog. After being glued up, stitched up, taped up, and drugged up, I think she will be all right. I must have said, "Everything is going to be all right" at least 30, maybe 40, times since 6:30 when I stood there as helpless as a paraplegic as he snapped and growled at her. She refused to back down, which is probably why she wound up being bitten four times instead of one.

I didn't even realize he'd bitten her when it was happening. She was trying to take him into the pasture, and he didn't want to go. When they got to the barn door, he snapped at her. She yelled at him and tried to put him in a submissive position. I saw him jump up at her and growl. Moments later I would learn that he had bitten her face. She continued trying to correct him, and he wound up biting both of her forearms and one of her hands. From my perspective, I wasn't sure what was happening. She was standing over him, with him finally on his back. She was holding him tightly to the ground as she looked up at me and said, "Is my face bleeding?" All I could say was, "Yes." I remembered my first aid class 20 years ago when the instructor talked about the importance of not letting an injured person know how badly he or she was injured. Don't panic, I told myself. Stay calm. "You're fine," I said, and then realized that lying was probably not the best approach. I quickly added, "Everything is going to be fine." I repeated it several times, not knowing what else to say, afraid to say something that would clue her in to the fact that I was terrified.

Blood was running down her face, on her chest and her arms. Her eye was already swelling and turning purple. She read my face and started crying. Like an idiot, I said, "Don't cry," thinking that it would be a very un-alpha thing for her to do in front of the dog. She started yelling at me to take him. At that point, my adrenaline had kicked in because I wasn't really that afraid of him. I just wanted to help her. I took his lead and moved him a couple steps away from her, then stood there, unable to move. "Okay," I cried. "I don't know what to do! I don't want to put him in a stall because that's what he wanted. That's why he bit you. I can't let him win. But I can't put him back in the pasture, because he'll just jump over the door again and come back in here."

"I don't care what you do with him," she screamed. "Just get him away from me!"

"Okay," I said decisively and started walking up and down the barn trying to decide which stall to put him into. Orally, I debated the benefits or disadvantages of each one. Finally, I put him in his favorite stall, because I knew he would lay down and go to sleep. I couldn't worry about what to do with him. I knew I had to get Margaret to the hospital.

By then, Jonathan had come into the barn because he heard the screaming. I told him to go find his father who was across the creek picking blackberries. Margaret became more upset as she saw the swelling and the blood on her arms and her hand. She kept asking me about her face. All I could say was, "Yes, it's bleeding, but it's going to be okay. We're going to take you to the hospital."

At the hospital, they did multiple x-rays of her face, her arms, and her hand. After getting all the blood cleaned up, we learned that her entire face had been in the dog's mouth. His upper canines went into the skin of her lower right eyelid, scratching the right half of her face as he let her go. His lower canines scraped under her left jaw without breaking the skin, but creating a wide abrasion. We were thankful that his teeth had not been any closer to her eye, so there doesn't appear to be any damage to the eyeball at all.

We also realized that he really didn't want to hurt her. He was just letting her know that he did not want to leave the barn. Knowing how he can crush a full-grown raccoon between his jaws in one bite, we know he could have crushed her face. That knowledge is terrifying and yet it is somewhat redeeming in a bizarre, twisted way. It could have been so much worse.

Physically, she will heal. The doctor glued the bites on her face and "loosely" stitched up the bites on one arm. The doctor said they don't like to stitch up dog bites because it's better to let them "drain" -- or bleed. It lowers the risk of infection, so they only stitch up or glue whatever is really necessary. They didn't stitch or glue anything for almost three hours, and all of the injuries were still bleeding/draining at that point -- which they pointed out was a good thing. It was just a little surreal to see something bleeding for so long. The skin around her right eye is black and swollen, and both of her forearms have areas swollen as large as oranges.

Mentally, I think healing will be harder. She never stopped crying for more than a couple minutes from the time she realized she had been bitten until ... well, I'm not sure. I left her room just before I started writing this post, and she was still trying not to cry. She said the pain wasn't "that bad," but she was exhausted and yet afraid to go to sleep. "Nightmares can be so scary," she said. I told her to think about happy things and then wanted to grab the words in mid-air before they reached her ears. I laid down on her bed next to her with my hand on her shoulder, hoping that would make her feel better than my ridiculous attempts at conversation. I couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't sound trite or silly or ridiculous. I remembered when she was 6 years old and I would read aloud the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. From her safe bedroom in the Chicago suburbs, we thought it sounded so exciting to live a simpler life on a farm.

It was obvious what the nurses felt, even though they didn't admit their feelings openly. One spoke jovially to Margaret about having her own dominant alpha dog at home, but another asked seriously, "What are you going to do with the dog?" when Margaret was taken out for x-rays. "We're discussing it right now," Mike said. When she was giving us the discharge information, she said that the report would be turned over to animal control and they'd be calling us on Monday. I asked her what that meant, and she said they'd want to know about the dog's vaccine history and what we were planning to do with him.

And that brings me to the hardest decision that I've ever had to make. I know Sovalye has saved the lives of many animals on this farm when he protected them from predators. He has probably saved the lives of many more than we will ever know, because he was usually working when we were sleeping. Up until a couple months ago, he had been an outstanding guardian. It seems to be the zenith of cruelty and ungratefulness to put him down, but it seems irresponsible to let him continue to live.

Ivy said...

I am so sorry to hear about Margret's injuries. That must be difficult for you to witness and her to experience.

I hope all would turn out well for you and your daughter.

Jenny Holden said...

What a horrendous thing to have to go through. The shock of being attacked by an animal that you love hits like a sledgehammer, as I remember first hand.

From your previous posts it's clear that something significant has changed for the dog since his heart worm episode. He'll take a lot of retraining if you do keep him alive, question is whether you'd be able to stand up to a dog like that. I wonder whether he is still ill?

I'm so sorry that you're in this position and wish you all the best.

Alaska Shetland Shepherd said...

No Deborah, you don't have to put him down - he was doing his job, he knew to stay in the barn for whatever reason. And Jenny is also right, if there is something wrong with him inside that you perhaps have not seen or noticed, then someone dragging him away from his comfort place could have been just too much overload for him. If you decide to put him down, it is because he now has a bite history and can not go to another farm or ranch without extreme liability as a known biter. If you decide to euthanize him, it will be understandable because of what he did, even if not intentionally, to your daughter. You may not want to look at him again, and that of course is very human, very understandable. LGD's are a blessing, but they are powerful dogs to be respected, just as much as the herding breeds I deal with every week. We sometimes forget that they have the power to kill a coyote, so can also hurt a human if put into the wrong situation. I am so glad that Margaret is alive and will heal from her injuries. I have been bitten seriously by only one dog in my life and it was an LGD at a lama farm that came at me from the rear and took my leg at the thigh in his jaws and crunched down hard. Yes, it was pretty scary and quite a mess. I hope you both heal from this trauma and find peace. I'm so sorry!!

Susan said...

I'm so sorry about what happened to Margaret. We went through the same with a St. Bernard and my dad trying to get him to leave our garage. This was a dog that we 'inherited' and we knew little about his personality. It seemed to be a territorial thing for that dog, but we just don't know.
It had to be a terrible experience, but Margaret is in good hands now and I hope that doesn't stray far from her thoughts after that experience.
Best of wishes making the decision with your family about what to do with your dog. It's so hard making those decisions, but you'll make a well thought out and good decision. Just sorry you have to deal with that and all else that's going on at the farm right now.

Lois said...

Oh Deborah, what a devastating experience for Margaret and for you, and for Mike. My heart goes out to you all.

Nancy K. said...

Oh Deborah! Talk about "When it Rains It Poors!" I can't begin to imagine the heartbreak, fear, anger, betrayal and disbelief you must all be feeling. Poor Margaret! I suspect the emotional scars will be the worst. My heart goes out to all of you.

I know this sounds trite but please let me know if there is anything that I could do to help in any way...

Kathy said...

Deb-I am so sorry to hear about Margaret's experience. Back in the 50s, when I was a kid, I had my face chewed into hamburger by a dog. It was so bad that when my mom got me to the ER, they didn't know what to do as there was no tissue they could take a stitch in. I had my face held together, literally, by butterfly bandages. It took a long time to heal.
I still like dogs, but have not had one for years. If you or Margaret ever need to talk to someone else who's been through something like that...I'm here.

Week Log: Feb 18-24

Mon-AM: 2 miles (16:00) Monument
Shin was still a bit sore.  Not too bad, so I just turned around and decided to give it an extra day.

Tue-AM: 16 miles (2:11) South out and back w/ Kyle
The shin was a little bit tight every now and then, but it never got worse.  Great weather.

Wed-AM: 23 miles (3:00) Buckhorn Mt. plus barefoot w/ Kyle
Shin twinged every now and then, but I felt great towards the end.
PM: 4.5 miles (:37) CRC run in North Monument with big group in the FiveFingers
Shouldn't have done this run; shin was tight by the end.

Thu- 0

Fri- 0

Sat- 0

Sun- 0

Total: 45.5 miles (6:04)

Hmmm...obviously a bit of a mistake of a week on my part.  I can never seem to learn; however, this shin is proving to be frustratingly tenacious and somewhat unpredictable.  I'm going to bag the Mexico trip and just focus on being healthy and fit for AR.  Mostly, I'm getting tired of not being able to be out on the trails every day.

Andrew said...

Nagging injuries are so difficult - they don't hurt enough to stop you but if you don't stop yourself, they'll hurt more later.

Would it be beneficial to go for long hikes on the trails during the off days, or would that still aggravate the shin? That would be one way to get your trail fix.

tim barnes said...

Hey Anton.
Sorry to hear yr shin is giving you more problems. Dude, gotta rest it, A-R-T it, or something.
Are you into talking about some of those Crosslite modifications?

ultrastevep said...

Not that I should be giving advice to you, but maybe wearing some trainers with a bit of support and or cushioning for a change might help. I had a similar injury in 1980 training for Boston and it was the orthotics that was causing the problem. Once I took them out of my shoes, my shin got better and better every day.
sometimes doing something different creates enough of a change to your foot placement to get the healing process started. Plus lower your mileage for a few weeks.

Good luck with it!

CharlieM said...

As an elite, ultra high-mileage runner, I'm sure you're quite used to these setbacks...it's gonna come down to the ol' balancing act--how patient you can be at not pushing it and letting time off do the trick. Because it sounds like you've been right on the edge for quite some time with this shin. The body will let you continue to train and race for quite a while before the tweaky area finally just gives out and slams the door shut. I am on year 4 of trying to come back from plantar fasciitis...each time I'm almost back to normal, I run a 50 or 100 and weaken it again. Some day it might rupture completely, we'll have to see...I can't help myself because I'm a weak-minded fool, but I promise you, if you do what I say, and not what I do......

Toilet Repair Month

I have been involved either part time or full time with the plumbing industry for over 47 years, and I never knew that there is a National Toilet Tank Repair Month.  Or I knew and just chose to ignore it.

Regardless, it is now at the forefront of my consciousness and I am compelled to comment on National Toilet Tank Repair Month.  First, who or what entity declared such a month?  I have no idea.  I’ve spent the last 30 minutes searching the internet for the answer to no avail.  Enough time wasted on that question.  But if a reader knows who made the declaration, let me know and I’ll send you an Apple Plumbing t-shirt!

Back to toilets. A leaking toilet can waste A LOT of water.  The EPA says 1 in 4 toilets nationally leak wasting up to 70,000 gallons per year each.  That’s a lot of water.

I am always leery of statistics so I like to “run the numbers”:

  • 70,000 gallons per year equates to 191.79 gallon per day
  • That translates to 8 gallons per hour or 2 ounces per minute
  • Two ounces of water is a quarter cup in a minute.

Try taking a ¼ cup of water and pouring it into a sink at a steady, consistent stream for one minute.  It’s really just a trickle.  Chances are that same trickle in a toilet tank would be almost silent.  So, I think the EPA’s numbers work…a small leak that trickles in your toilet tank can waste up to 70,000 gallons of water a year!

That’s A LOT of water!

Let’s say you have a well and your well pump is a 5 gallon per minute pump.  Your pump would have to run for 14,000 minutes to supply your leaking toilet.  That’s 233⅓ hours!  For almost 10 whole days your pump would have to run to supply water to your leaking toilet.

flush with cashOr, let’s say you are connected to city water and sewer.  A quick check shows the City of Westminster charges $16.16 per 1,000 gallons for combined water and sewer.  Your 70,000 gallon running toilet would cost you $1,131.20 per year in water and sewer charges!  You could buy some seriously high efficient toilets for that kind of money.

So.  Now that we are aware of National Toilet Tank Repair Month and the high cost of a leaking toilet what are we to do about it?  Check your toilet for leaks!  Or have a plumber check your toilet for leaks, although it is much cheaper if you do.  Click on the following link for a video on how a toilet flushes.  The video was produced by plumbing manufacturer Korky Flappers.

How A Toilet Flushes by Korky Flappers.

There are really only two ways a toilet leaks. the first is through the fill valve in which the tank fills to the overflow tube and water just runs down the tube, into the bowl and down the drain.  If you lift the lid from the tank and see water up to the overflow tube and running down it, your fill valve is leaking.

The other way a toilet leaks is through the flapper at the base of the flush valve, if the flapper doesn’t seal tightly and water slowly leaks into the bowl and down the drain.  The easiest way to check for this type of leak is to place a few drops of dark food coloring in the tank and see if it shows up in the bowl.  You may have to wait up to 20 minutes for coloring to appear. It’s that easy.

About Horsley Tree Removal

For that Native American Ojibwa the totem or dodaim was a tool or image of your gens and all associates of the particular gens possess the identical totem. Quite simply the gentile organisation was synonymous Together with the totemic technique. Likewise the Australian tribe or division totems experienced symbols of the family members team. In Also way the American totem was a gens device. The implication would be that the obligations of your totemic technique signifies “…the gens originated in the idea of kinship, with descent in the feminine line, and prohibition of marriage in the gens.” (Wake, 1967). All individuals who provide the similar totem for that reason should handle each other as brethren “…not simply to human beings, but also to your totem objects.

Compared with fashionable spiritual and mythical preoccupations, primitive peoples did not regard the supernatural and organic worlds as dichotomies. In their ought to nutritional supplement all recognized ways of working with the exterior environment primitive folks manufactured usage of no matter what forces there were that they may not manage in a sensible way. Due to this fact they didn't divide their entire world into the organic and supernatural, specially when applying what ever forces at their disposal, given that they recognised them as section of their organic entire world. Among the most important areas of primitive religion is it expresses specific significant social sentiments which now would be called ‘values’ (Beattie, 1964).

Totemism has its origins within the earliest epochs of human record and probably precedes the development of clan organisation and which “…demonstrates the sensation of a connection with a supplied species (or many species) of animals and crops, conditioned by the material creation.” (Tolstov, 1931). The proportion of different types of totem does bear a relation to the usage of all-natural assets from the clans. Throughout the clan and tribal organisation There is certainly “…a sense of the tie…” of the human team “…with the occupied territory… and With all the productive forces on the territory.” (Tolstov, 1931). This exhibits Yet another with the social facets of totemism or even the blood feud whereby all clan users regard each other as kinsman or brothers and sisters.

In the mythology of historical Greece the wedding of Zeus and Hera was celebrated on the Heraion, or sanctuary of Hera at Samos, (Burkert, 1985). In historic Greece most recognized that means of your time period Hieros gamos implied the extension of actual or simulated sexual union to your advertising of fertility, like the ancient union of Demeter with Iasion. Others restricted the expression to mean only re-enactments. Nonetheless, some claimed which the evidence from Greece was unclear and scarce when in regards to the actual ‘cultus’, and also to “…what extent such a sacred relationship was not simply a strategy for viewing nature, but an act expressed or hinted at is challenging to say.

The defense of individuals in danger is interconnected With all the safety of Individuals in society from Those people endangered, that is certainly to say risky folks, and where “…taboo is an element of all Those people predicaments by which attitudes to values are expressed concerning Hazard behaviour.” (Steiner, 1967). It is actually restrictive conduct which makes certain the power of the allure, the allure or taboo staying meant to impose on Some others during the interest of Other individuals, such as the defense of home. For that reason it's the involvement of taboos that renders Hazard controllable by institutionalised Modern society. Risk is not really a quantitative principle mainly because to confront Hazard will be to facial area A further ability (Steiner, 1967).

At this juncture it could be witnessed that totemism continues to be interpreted in some ways. Three totemic options can be found from the evolution in the human intellect established. To start with: the universality of totemism amid groups of human beings whose Life-style is the fact of the hunter-gatherer; Next, totemism demands a cognitive recognition in pondering individuals, animals and vegetation; thirdly, totemism seems to have already been pervasive in human social organisation, in accordance with the proof of archaeology, due to the fact the his explanation beginning of your Higher Palaeolithic, making sure that we could “…presume that totemism has been universal for it has been found in the united states,, in Australia, in historic Egypt, among the Eskimos, and traces have been uncovered of it among the Greeks, the Romans, the Celts, and the Germans. The clan, composed of relevant groups, browse around here appears to possess had a similar universality.” (Renard, 1929).

The very long history of yankee growth into these lands has performed a central function in shaping American culture, iconography, and the modern countrywide identity, and stays a popular topic for examine by scholars and historians.

The dominant early twentieth century analysis way was known as functionalism and structural functionalism. Functionalism regarded the principle goal of social anthropology was to elucidate the recurrent features of institutions and customs instead of make clear the origins of variances and similarities in tradition.  Professor A. R. Radcliffe-Brown (1881-1955) was born in Birmingham and created the sociological concept of structural functionalism as well as founding the Institute of Social Anthropology, University of Oxford, and recognised as a number one agent of British social anthropology and structural functionalism. Radcliffe-Brown assumed the key item of social anthropology was even narrower than that of functionalism He pressured the contribution of biological and psychological welfare of people in the upkeep of social systems. Sceptical that totemism might be described inside a unified way he took a different look at from and opposed the groundbreaking Malinowski. For Radcliffe Brown a sociological interpretation of totemism has to show “…that totemism is just a Specific kind taken in certain definite conditions by an element or technique of culture that's common and vital.

The totem bond is stronger as opposed to blood bond. Totemic tribes thus, each and every community is automatically composed (due to exogamy) of users of at least two totem clans, there exists the likely for dissolution of its totem components as a result of blood feud. Right now the recognition of the blood marriage did not exist and the stage was nonetheless at the level of the pre-class epoch. It absolutely was still at this time that feminine nurturing combined with cooperative characteristics that permit the females to generate “…The nice advance within the maternal brood inside the animal globe for the maternal clan technique while in the human earth.” (Reed, 1978). It truly is right here which the origin of clan and totemic organisation might be checked out regarding the evolutionary history of your prehistoric clan mothers.

It's going to be noticed that fairly often “…myth background and tradition had been framed in male conditions. The tributes previously compensated to the woman creatrix of the planet now went to the male creator.” (Reed, 1986). Myths are usually not devoid of this means. In many respects they are profound revelations “…for they have sprung with the soul in the folks and therefore are Launched on historical customs and traditions that have check out this site little by little disappeared but continue on to survive while in the myths glorified by a halo of religion.” (Bebel, 1904). If these myths are supported by historical info then it may be assumed that the myth does have some historic value.

These results are thought to be a supposed indicator of the ‘Cult with the Cave Bear’, and are as a result connected with religious conceptions. In southern France a number of Aurignacian cave bear representations as well as French Magdalenian brown bear pics present that Male “…in the Aurignac period of time and also Guy in the Madeleine time period connected religious and cultic conceptions initially Along with the Cave Bear, and, following his extinction, with the brown bear – also that these Thoughts have survived, in the identical way the even more mature religious conceptions of Mousterian Guy have survived…more than an Just about inconceivably extensive period of the background of mankind…” (Abel, 1934-35). Basua Cave in Savovo in Italy was apparently utilized by Neanderthals for bear worship with scattered bones of bears suggesting the chance of some type of ritual follow (Campbell, 1996). An identical phenomenon was uncovered at Regourdou, in Southern France, in which the remains of 20 bears ended up found out lined by a stone slab in an oblong pit.

In mythological conditions the Palaeolithic savagery on the Pleistocene hunter gatherers was also often called the ‘Golden Age’ (Hesiod, 1981; Bullfinch, 1965). The myth with the Golden Age demonstrates the tradition of tribal subservience into the Bee-goddess (Graves, 1979), and savagery obviously staying pre-agricultural. On the other hand primitive gentleman “…didn't share the disdain of recent Adult males with the do the job of girls. It was specifically with the technological advances made by Girls that Males ended up lastly liberated from reliance on hunting and moved to larger types of labour things to do.” (Reed, 1986). Likewise, the ‘Silver Age’ correlated with Neolithic barbarism with its pastoralism, agricultural cultivation, and sexual division of labour (Bullfinch, 1965; Hesiod, 1981). Without a doubt the Neolithic crafts “…happen to be introduced as domestic industries. Nonetheless the craft traditions are certainly not specific, but collective traditions. The expertise and knowledge of every one of the community’s users are regularly getting pooled…The profession is community; the rules are the results of communal knowledge…Along with the Neolithic financial system in general cannot exist without the need of cooperative work.

The look for a dependable and comprehensive totemic system have to be designed in Australia on your own (Lindsay, 1965). With regard to Australian totemism will be observed essentially the most primitive stratum in the phenomenon from which we can easily deduce its original kind and thus analyse and relate each to the coherent evolutionary course of action and arrive at an “…approximation to the history of totemism generally.” (Thomson, 1978). It will likely be viewed that Australian totemism is to some extent significantly less Highly developed than the more State-of-the-art stage access by north American totemism (Gomme, 1908). The Australian Aborigines have failed to progress from a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural economic climate and stay as legitimate palaeolithics.

Photo Credit: The Rooms Provincial Archives Division: A54-150; Crowds at Quidi Vidi Lake for the Royal St. John’s Regatta.

August 2, 2016

The Royal St. John’s Regatta is the only civic holiday in Canada that is dependent on the weather. “The Regatta” has been traditionally held on the first Wednesday in August.

On the night before the Regatta the  residents of the historic city have the option to stay at home and have a quite night or “roll the dice” and PARTY!! The choice has become known as “Regatta Roulette.”

As residents party into the night, refreshment (s) in hand, there is always the lingering question, when I turn on the radio at 6:00 a.m. will the Royal Regatta officials say “IT IS A GO” or will it be a day at work?

An estimated 35,000 -50,000 people go to lake side at Quidi Vidi Lake, St. John’s  to enjoy the  races and the concessions.

The first documentation of boat races in St. John’s is taken from a very small notice in The Royal Gazette newspaper dated 1816:

 “We understand a rowing Match will take place on Monday next between two boats, upon which considerable Bets are depending. They are to start at half past One o’clock from along side the Prison Ship.”

–       The Royal Gazette, 6 August 1816

While this is not considered the official starting date of the Regatta, it does lend itself to the history, showing that boat racing did occur. The date the Royal St. John’s Regatta Committee refers to as the official start date is 1818.

Since that time the Regatta has become a staple of Newfoundland history, and has run continuously every year since, with few exceptions. The Royal St. John’s Regatta itself is a curious entity. It is:

  • the only civic holiday in North Americato be declared by a committee of persons not associated with a government body;
  • the only civic holiday that is dependant on the weather;
  • the only competition where teams have to round buoys and return to the start line in order to finish the race;
  • one of only four organizations in Newfoundland and Labrador to be granted the Royal Designation (the others are The Royal Newfoundland Regiment, The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and The Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club).

Will we get together for a drink on Tuesday night?  Will it be a quite night at home?   Regatta Roulette!

Recommended Archival Collection:  At the Rooms Provincial Archives Division take some time to look at  “The Rowing”  Series  which consists of 212 b&w photographs predominantly of the Royal St. John’s Regatta races and crews, The photographs include team portraits, races underway, presentation of awards and views of the people along the shore of Quidi Vidi Lake.    Search the Archives:

Recommended Museum: Special tours and visitation to the Royal Regatta Museum are available upon request. If you wish to make a special appointment to visit the Museum, please call the Boathouse at: (709) 576 – 8921.

Daddy, Are We There Yet? A Discussion with Alan Kay
Subject:   Interesting... but how?

From:   Corvus
The goal of the Viewpoints Institute, "to help make major positive changes in how children are educated all over the world", is very interesting and laudable, but I don't see exactly how a computer programming language can do that.

Cartainly, one can write computer programs to solve science or engineering problems, but is this learning science and engineering, or computer programming?

Now, I have nothing against learning computer programming, but if a problem with science education is that it is "... primarily about memorization", then how is typing a bunch of formulas into a computer any better than memorizing them? In either case, the student has no direct personal experience with the principles involved.

Nor am I very enthusiastic about conducting experiments or research on a computer. Simply seeing something happen on a computer is no evidence things really work that way.

An injury crisis in rugby union at amateur level?

A rugby player nurses an injury. Photo credit: Robert Ferron.
Published: 18 Oct 2017

As injury lists grow, it becomes more and more difficult for rugby sides to field strong teams. The rates of collisions continue to rise, so injuries in rugby remain a major problem. Recently Bernard Jackman revealed that 29 of his Dragons players were unable to play due to injury. Sports Gazette’s Tomas Meehan decided to speak to the president of rugby union at St. Mary’s University, Matt Lamin, as well as an amateur player and a physiotherapist to uncover the issues injuries cause at club level in comparison those faced at elite level.

Grassroots sport is where it all begins and without it there would be no elite sport. Having played school rugby myself on the wing, I managed to escape relatively unscathed but then as Benedict White, student at Swansea University points out: “university would have a similar level of injury to professionals due to players being grown men, [and] a constant level of physicality in the games, [whereas there is] not quite that level say in schoolboy rugby.”

Though there is a key difference between the treatment of injuries at professional and amateur level. Lamin says: “at the top level there’s a lot more preparation that goes into stopping those injuries in particular soft tissue injuries, a lot of those are avoided through strength and conditioning.”

“Unfortunately the amateur side doesn’t have that support, so I think that’s definitely an area where amateur players are more susceptible to injuries”.

Like many of the elite counterparts, White has had to be sidelined for an extended period of time. Speaking of his injuries he said: “rolled both my ankles, dislocated my knee and injured my lower back”.

But could his lengthy time out have been avoided? Lamin thinks that a lot of amateur players do spend a too much time on the sidelines because they are often not getting the necessary treatment that is available to the professionals.

He said: “In general the professional guys will have very good treatment, if an operation is needed, that’s normally quite a quick process and then the rehab that follows up is normally very good. For an amateur player, for a university player those injuries tend to have a much bigger impact and those injuries that are sustained – it’s a longer process to recover.”

Though Hannah Fernando, a physiotherapist at Crystal Palace Sports Injury Clinic adds: “the recovery process [from injuries] in terms of healing time frames is the same for any sport, but the rehab process might be longer in rugby however due to the demands of the sport”.

But rugby players suffer from aches and pains regularly as well, even when fit. Recently, Leicester Tigers’ Dan Cole spoke of “stiffness” and “fatigue” on BBC’s ‘Rugby Union: An Injury Crisis?’ White echos his words: “Definitely always feel sore after a game or high contact session for at least a day or two after. [I] can’t speak for all players but would expect the same – especially forwards.

Lamin adds: “University players definitely suffer from the same stiffness and soreness following a game. Unfortunately again it comes back to that treatment, whereas the likes of Dan Cole will be going for the treatment at the club, the massages etc. we don’t have access to that”.

The collisions obviously play a role in causing these injuries. Fernando says that in “other sports [such as non-contact sports] you don’t need to be as strong or agile as the demands of the sport are less. Athletics for example is non-contact, linear forces, [so] no twisting/pivoting.”

Recovery is critical in sport and even more so in a contact sport though as the demands of rugby increase, so will the need for adequate recovery. In the absence of qualified staff to deal with injuries amateur rugby players can often be at a loss as to what to do and will obviously need to do their own research.

In addition to that, Lamin tells us that not only are rugby players growing in size across all positions, they’re also more athletic. He says that “amateur players aren’t conditioned to the fact that the game is getting harder, whereas professional players are, so I think it will have an impact for sure”. This will continue to cause more problems for amateurs than professionals.

With that said, rugby is a contact sport and while there are ways to improve it, according to both White and Lamin, there will always be an element of danger.

White said: “All players understand the physical nature of the game and for me that’s part of what makes the game what it is.”

Two of the key areas Lamin says the game has been trying to make safer are the scrum area and concussions. While concussions are a hotly discussed topic in rugby, spinal injuries from forwards locking horns in the scrum is also a major issue, even if less talked about.

While Lamin thinks the game can be made safer, he believes that we should “stick to the roots of rugby”. Otherwise it will take away from the values of the sport, of why people watch and play rugby in the first place.

Rugby seems to embody the warrior in those who play it. Enthusiasts at every level of the sport are aware of the risks involved with playing rugby. But ultimately they stress there shouldn’t be too much reason to reform the game as that is what makes rugby, rugby.

Brooks, Retired Northeastern Conference
President, Killed in Crash

r. Stennett H. Brooks, retired president of the Northeastern Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, was killed in an automobile crash on April 4.

Brooks served the Adventist church for more than forty years. He first worked in 1959 as an Accountant in the Adventist Book Center for the Northeastern Conference, and then its treasury department under then treasurer Frank L. Jones. He subsequently succeeded Jones, and held that position for more than twenty years.

Brooks was then elected Northeastern Conference president and held that job for twelve years. Throughout his years of service was a member of the boards of Oakwood College, Atlantic Union College, the Adventist Media Center and Breath of Life.

Elder Brooks was a loyal and active member of the Oakwood College Alumni Association, and at his death was President of the A. Samuel Rashford Chapter of the Oakwood College Alumni. He was recently elected the president of the New York Chapter of the Northern Caribbean University.

As a faithful member of the City Tabernacle Seventh-day Adventist church, he served in several positions such as First Elder and Sabbath School Superintendent until the time of his death. The April 13 funeral is to be held at City Tabernacle, and Webcast on, church officials said.

Brooks is survived by his wife, Erma, their two daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren.

Venezuela #1: Songs from a telenovela and beyond

It is time for the second South American country featured in this blog. And it is Venezuela.

Wikipedia: Venezuela

For me Venezuela is THE land of telenovelas. Technically you could say telenovelas are Spanish soap operas, but telenovela is a popular type of shows beyond Spanish-speaking countries too. I love telenovelas (unfortunately I have not seen too many since they are hard to come by here) and my ultimate favourite is a show called Mi Gorda Bella (My Fat Beauty as translated, the English title is My Sweet Fat Valentina). Artists featured in this post and some of these songs I found from this telenovela.

First up is Jeremías. He was born in London, but is from Venezuelan origin and has lived there since he was little. He got known for making the theme song for the telenovela Mi Gorda Bella in 2003 and has had success in Spanish-speaking world. Unfortunately I can't find any actual info about what he has been up to in recent years.

The song above is called La Cita, which translates into date/appointment. This was a theme song for one of the couples in that telenovela. Honestly, I did not like this song while watching the show (any of the times watching it). I never disliked it, just didn't pay much attention to it. Then I listened to it completely and I absolutely loved it!

During this January I have actually been listening this song a lot and it is one of my favourite songs this month. I like the softness of this song and the rhythm is awesome. There is something very latino in it and it is highly dancy song (not in the way I usually mean, but rather in a partner dance way).

Other song from Jeremías that was featured in Mi Gorda Bella. This was the theme song of the show and its main couple. The name of the song, Poco A Poco, means Little By Little. This song always throws me back into memories of the show (during the beginning I always get the show's opening running in me head), so it is a very nostalgic song for me.

I find this song very happy. The music and the beat are very uplifting. Jeremías' style of singing in this makes it even more cheerful. It is a love song and the lyrics are quite nice too. But I don't think it is necessary to understand the lyrics to enjoy this song. It is just so amazing. I always go back to this song and love it as much as the first time I heard it (which I believe was in 2006).

Jeremías has so many awesome songs. It probably is partly due to his voice, which I really like. It has a nice edge in it. Picking out a third song from Jeremías was the hardest decision I have made so far in this blog. I just love so many is his songs! The winner ended up being a song called Uno Y Uno Es Igual A Tres, because I have been listening to it a lot lately.

You might be able to translate the title even without knowledge in Spanish: One And One Equals Three. And no, it is not a beautiful song about having a baby. Instead, as you can tell by the music video, it is about cheating. This song is very catchy. I find to beat and his singing quite cheerful even when the lyrics are not (there is a pistol involved...). Interesting contrast and I love it.

La Cita and Poco A Poco were released in Jeremías' self-titled album Jeremías in 2003. Uno Y Uno Es Igual A Tres is part of his second album Ese Que Va Por Ahí, which was released in 2006.

A boy band from Venezuela: A.5, which is pronounced as A Punto Cinco (A Dot Five). Unfortunately I am not able to find information on them online. Or actually I can find info, but I just do not understand it since my Spanish skills suck. (Actually I can understand surprisingly much even though I haven't studied Spanish at all. Thanks to telenovelas.) But I believe this group doesn't make music anymore. Though I have been able to find some solo music from some of them.

The song above is called Supervisor De Tus Sueños, which means Supervisor Of Your Dreams. The song was featured in the Mi Gorda Bella telenovela as the theme song of my favourite couple. I have loved this song ever since I first heard it. I find it incredibly beautiful. One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, definitely.

I am actually not a romantic person and usually not much into romantic lyrics and such. But these lyrics are just so beautiful. You can read the lyrics and English translation here: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/supervisor-de-tus-suenos-supervisor-your-dreams.html. I find them somehow personally touching, which rarely happens with love songs. Besides the lyrics, the music and the way the boys sing the song just make it even more beautiful. So wonderful.

This was actually the 100th song I featured in my blog. An excellent choice for this small milestone.

A.5 has also other great songs. One of them is Solo Con Mirarte. Google Translate says that the title means Just By Looking At You. I have not read the lyrics, but I assume this is a love song. At least it sounds like so.

I have noticed that quite many of A.5 songs (of those I have heard obviously) are fairly similar in style. I guess this is their trademark sound. And I do like it. This something soft in their voices and music. Their songs are easy to listen to and they are usually touching. At least Solo Con Mirarte manages to touch me with just the music and singing. It sounds very beautiful. The chorus especially is brilliant.

Supervisor De Tus Sueños is found on the album of the same name, which was released in 2004. I was not able to find out when Solo Con Mirarte was released.

let me back up

so I was in Hollywood. I met up with Lois & May in the parking lot of the Cinerama Dome. as we waitd around a sexy young man came up to me & askd if the woman I was with was Lois Wilson.  I sd yes.  he sd his grandmother wd like to speak with her. well his grandmother turnd out to be the elegant Doris Kenyon who had appeard with Lois in the Valentino costume drama "Monsieur Beaucaire."

that was just the beginning of an amazing day. next Lois & I got into an actual 1929 Model A Ford with Ruby Keeler & her daughters. we then were part of a parade down Hollywood Blvd.  at one point someone dressd as Keeler's onetime husband Al Jolson began to run alongside the car.

we ended up at KTLA -- which in its day was Warner Brothers Studios. there the stamp was unveild. we got a copy in a booklet which I had a few of the assembld stars sign. (it's now part of my papers at Kent State.)

next we were off to lunch at the Palladium where we mingled with other silent screen stars (Jetta Goudal & Carmel Myers) as well as former Warners heavyweights (Jane Wyman & Olivia DeHavilland).

when it was over another young man came up to Lois.  it turnd out to be Boyd Willat whose father had directd her.

in those pre-digital days we didn't carry cameras with us everywhere.  & it was long before the internet which seems to document everything.  so I had seen no photos from that day until yesterday.  while searching Bobby Gordon I discoverd an article by John Hollon in the LA Times. & there was a photo of Keeler.  I keep hoping that someone filmd either the parade or the ceremony or something from the lunch.  or that at least some photos will surface.
