ep: How to Dress Well

"We Were In Love"
Some people just don't know how to stop. How To Dress Well, whose contribution to the Friendship Bracelet 3 comp is killer, are some of those lunar zombies, unable to sleep for fear of missing something; a feeling, an idea, a nightmare, sex. Conjuring post-midnight fantasy scapes, the act recently dropped ANOTHER pair of EPs, which makes for a total of 6 in the last 6 months. Intense. Of the two new EPs, ∆ born bodies ∆ is How to Dress Well hitting the depths of steel cisterns, while mimicking some JT level future sex. The second EP is another collaboration between How to Dress Well & cokc dokc titled ∆ five souls ∆. I'm not really sure if those triangles are supposed to surround both titles but, either way, they totally make sense, in some symbiotic way. Some really choice shit for all you post-futuristic sound hounds. Peep both EPs here.

Where We Are Now

After finding and remediating mold twice in our Colorado home, we abandoned ship in October 2008. Because of the high levels of exposure, our entire family was affected. After months of seeing different specialists for all of the problems, we came to Arizona to begin comprehensive treatment to rid our bodies of the toxic buildup. In August 2009 we moved into a larger home, four bedrooms, south of Tucson, north of Mexico. I am doing my daily radio program/ writing from that location. Thanks for praying for us. We really feel it.

We live in a “What Happened Next Was Amazing” kind of world. This is the headline they put on videos to get us to ask, “I wonder what amazing thing happened to that journalist who laid down beside a sea otter?” Did the otter bite the man’s head off? Did it act like a dog and beg for a treat?

This happens every day. If I see one more “Amazing” thing, I’m not going to get anything done. What happened next, after this little boy stood on the railing beside the man-eating lion’s den, well, you’re just not going to believe how amazing this was!

We fall for the “amazing” because we want our lives to be “amazing.” We click because inside our hearts is a place that pulls us toward something we want for ourselves. We were just walking down the same road one day and POOF, something amazing happened that changed our lives and no one will believe.

But amazing usually doesn’t happen to us. We live from day to day without amazing. With the regular grind of life. And we then start to redefine amazing. “That was an amazing cup of coffee. That was an amazing boiled egg. Your dog is amazing, he chases his tail.”

I’m unwilling to redefine amazing to lift the mundane to extraordinary. But I’m also unwilling to chase after amazing as if it will fulfill my every hope and dream. Because what is really amazing is that we’re alive. We’re breathing on a planet filled with possibility and hurts and dreams and pain. And we have the ability to make a difference in someone’s life today. To speak truth and live love. And to let someone else do the same for us.

Stop watching someone else’s amazing. Click on your own.

This reminds me of a pastor we had who preached against the overuse of the word "awesome" in the 90's which led our fiery redheaded youngster to correct everyone she heard use the word with "only GOD is awesome!" She's an adult now and will use the word awesome for something only God can do....the miraculous and providential is all around us if we look for it.

Lynner Kyle said...

So true! As I walk with the Lord each day is a bonus. How the Lord shows me His love every day in surprising ways. If I will just be looking for it. HE is amazing!

Maureen said...

Wow! Amazingly thought provoking, Chris!

Louis Zezza said...

In the end of the day, at the end of our mortal lives, the only Amazing is God's Grace. Until we die, His AMAZING Grace is always available! Amazing, His Son died for me, a boy from the Bronx!

Sweetly Broken Girl said...

This is totally where I am in life right now. A stay-ay-home, homeschooling mom of four struggling to really live in and be content with the mundane. Struggling to 'bloom where I am planted' and to glorify God in the little things, and in the ache of feeling like I am sitting on the sidelines, overlooked by others, invisible to the world. It can be tough emotionally, but it really does help to remember that we need to live for eternity and not for temporary fulfillment. We need to live for God's glory and kingdom and for those words, 'well done, good and faithful servant.' And it really does not matter if we have a big or little role, just that we do our best for Him. Thank you for your enjoyable and encouraging ministry.

Wouldn't life be amazing if we all did that?

The second half of February - round-up

It's been nearly three weeks since I last posted here and I've thought several times that I should get around to it, but Things happened and, well, here I am, at the beginning of March, with the sun trying to shine.

I seem to have had back-to-back colds over the last six weeks and to try and be delicate about it, my nose doesn't seem to have been very far from a tissue for very long.

However, I do have some photos to show.

I have this one:

I've finished the first of the socks I've been knitting using some handspun yarn that didn't come out quite as I'd expected.  I've also started the second one; started it twice because I realised when I'd nearly finished the toe that I'd done it differently to the first sock so I ripped it out and started again.

I've knitted a bit more of my stripey scarf (it had got put to one side while I was making the alpaca hat and cowl).  I'm currently knitting green stripes and think I might go with hot pink for my next colour:

I've finished spinning 200g of red yarn which is destined to become a Breckon cardigan:

(lilac yarn's in there because my camera has trouble with things that are just red).

I'll be spinning 600g of this yarn in total.  I've another 100g spun into a single and resting before it's plyed and am two-thirds through a fourth bobbin, so progress is being made.

I'm cross with these socks which I started as a project to keep upstairs for nights when either I or DD2 can't sleep:

The foot's fine and the yarn's knitting up into a nicely patterned effect.  Yesterday I worked on these at knitting group and was halfway up the heel flap when it was time to leave so thought I'd knit on them some more yesterday evening while I was watching television.  I'd done a few rounds on the leg when I came across a knot.  I made my feelings on knots in self-patterning yarn known in this post!

I undid the knot and pulled out some yarn until I'd got to what I thought was the right place (it was more or less the middle of a grey stripe).  Carried on knitting and then, this happened:

Can you see?  The grey was followed by black.  Now, I don't expect my socks to have perfect striping all the way up because stitches are increased for the gusset, which is obviously going to affect the yarn's patterning (that's why there's that thin purply pink stripe), but to have the yarn do something completely different?  No thanks.  The grey should be followed by a round or so of the dotty effect, then go into the purply pink.  The socks are now in the naughty corner until tomorrow when I'll decide how best to sort this out, but sort it out I need to do.  I don't match stripes on hand-knitted socks, so I'm not overly pedantic about it, but this just looks Wrong.

I've also started a new sweater.  Progress is slow:

I cast this on about ten days ago!  2.5mm needles.  280 stitches per round.  27 rounds of k1, p1 rib to do.  I think this one might be a slow burner.  It's not all black, but I'll show you the other yarns I'll be using in my next post as I've rattled on enough.

In the meantime, I've got DD2 to keep entertained for the rest of today and probably tomorrow as well.  She was unwell on Saturday and I was up most of the night with her as she had a high temperature and was sick a few times.  She actually slept on the sofa for a couple of hours on Saturday morning and a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon and - hardly touched her dinner and didn't ask for dessert (that's a sure sign that she's poorly).  She seemed find on Sunday and yesterday daytime and evening, but was up again last night being ill.  She's also lost her appetite, so finding food that she'll eat is a bit challenging at the moment.  She's refusing to settle down and try to have a nap today though, which means I'm also very tired, so apart from doing several loads of laundry (the result of last night's 'activities') I'm ignoring the housework other than the essentials.

At least the sun's decided to come out.  I might see if I can get DD2 to come out with me to walk Jess in a little while, even if it's just for ten or 15 minutes.

  1. I'm sorry you've been sick, Christine. It's so hard at this time of year, it seems like one illness hits you after another. I hope your daughter is better soon too. I hope she napped for you. My daughter still has a rest every day anyway, as she's only five, but when my son is sick, I try to make him lie down too. You really need that break when the nights are bad and the care never ends. I think the socks are looking nice, but I don't have an eye for knitting issues at all. I'm looking forward to seeing your next sweater!

Celebrate Christmas – Scandinavian Style

Scandinavia, which includes the countries of Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, has a variety of beautiful and unique Christmas traditions. While there are a number of similarities, like the use of candles and a combination of red and white decorative elements, there are also many traditions that are unique to each of the Scandinavian countries. …

Rants and raves

Comments from readers:

THIS IS A RAVE for the lady who turned my purse in to Kroger after I left it in the cart. Thank you so much. God was looking after me. God bless you.

THIS IS A RANT TO the persons who wrote in about how it was not fair for Augusta to pay for Mr. Brown's funeral: Apparently you did not have a problem with paying for a trip around the U.S. for Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, can the citizens of Augusta please rant and rave about something other than James Brown? He was a great entertainer and I am sorry that he passed away. However, if you feel the need to stick your nose in his family's personal issues, then turn on the TV to Jerry Springer. Get a hobby.

IN THE COURT OF public opinion it seems that a lot of you have weighed in on the James Brown and Tomi Rae issue. I'm not taking sides, but I think we should all wait to see what the legal system decides before passing any more judgment. After all, no one truly knows what took place except for James Brown and Tomi Rae. And, now it is time for lawyers to dispel fact from fiction.

SOMETHING JUST DOES not add up. Buddy Dallas is a criminal lawyer. That means he knows all the twists and turns. He has yet to show his face on TV. I cannot believe for one second that James Brown would not put little James in his will. It just does not make sense. He called that little boy his son.

DESPITE THE NEGATIVE publicity, a big rave goes out to the staff at the psychiatric hospital. For low pay, little community support, and even at the risk of their own safety, these folks do the best they can with what they have to care for those individuals who are basically rejected by the other hospitals and sometimes by their own families.

If you have an opinion you want to share with other newspaper readers, you may call The Augusta Chronicle's Rants & Raves line at (706) 823-3397, fax your opinion to (706) 722-7403 or send an e-mail to newsroom@ augustachronicle.com.

Guns found in many businesses

Despite the seemingly endless number of companies with "zero tolerance" weapons policies, guns are as common as computers in many small businesses.

Carrying a pistol in the waistband feels as natural as a cash register key for employees at the United Loan & Firearms pawnshop in downtown Augusta. Unbeknownst to the typical customer, every one of the store's half-dozen clerks, both male and female, are armed at all times.

Store owner Johnny Finely encourages all his employees to carry pistols and makes it clear to each one why he wants them armed.

"If somebody comes in to rob us, we're going to shoot them," he says bluntly. "I've had five friends killed in robberies. Robbers used to just be robbers - just give them money and they would leave. Now, they take the money and shoot you anyway."

The issue of guns at work has become a hot topic in recent years because of several high-profile workplace shooting sprees, such as the four killings in 1997 by Arthur Hastings Wise at Aiken's R.E. Phelon Co. plant.

But many independent, or "mom and pop," retail business owners have been quietly keeping firearms behind their counters for decades, mainly as protection against criminals rather than angry co-workers.

"I don't know of a jeweler that doesn't have a weapon on the premises," said Bruce Freshley, co-owner of Doris Diamonds in Augusta, who carries a pistol. "If I were ever pushed to the point where I would have to utilize it, I would certainly do so."

The proliferation of rampage-style shootings has prompted most companies to adopt strict workplace weapons policies in the name of worker safety.

The policies are designed to absolve a corporation from any lawsuits that could arise from any use or misuse of weapons on their premises.

Small-business owners aren't so concerned about lawsuits - most don't evenhave a company policy manual. They keep firearms on hand because they consider their business as sacred as their home.

"We're talking about people who planted a seed, who have worked to grow a business from the ground up," said Dalton Brannen, a human resources expert and business professor at Augusta State University. "Most managers and employees at larger firms haven't experienced that."

Georgia law, like most state statutes, gives a business owner many of the same rights as a homeowner. As such, state laws address situations where business owners can use deadly force on their premises, said Mike Hobbs, spokesman for the state attorney general's office.

"Everyone is allowed to defend themselves to whatever extent the law allows," he said.

FIREARMS ARE COMMONLY found in small businesses that deal in easily liquidated merchandise, such as gun shops and electronics stores. Guns also are fixtures at cash-oriented businesses, such as liquor stores and convenience stores.

No data on gun ownership among business owners exist. But John Lott, a senior research scholar at Yale University's law school, said gun ownership rates are highest among middle-age individuals who earn between $70,000 and $100,000 a year, a common demographic for small-business owners.

"A lot of other evidence indicates gun ownership is high among people who have been robbed in the past," said Mr. Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime. "That could infer that those could be people in businesses that are likely to be at risk."

Of course, not all people in high-risk occupations want to carry a gun, including Kevin Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins is constantly thrust into potentially volatile situations as the owner of World Collections, a debt-collection firm.

His clients call on him to repossess their merchandise from people who have refused to pay.

"I have to be able to deal with people in a nonthreatening manner," he said. "If people see that I have a gun, or even think that I have a gun, they feel threatened. And that's where problems start."

Nearly all business owners who carry guns for safety and security carry them concealed or have them hidden in strategic places at their business.

Like most states, Georgia law allows residents to carry concealed weapons inside any residence, business or vehicle they own. Still, most armed business owners go a step further and obtain concealed weapons permits so they don't have to disarm while going to and from the business.

However, permit holders can't carry concealed weapons everywhere. Certain government buildings, for example, are off limits.

Private business enterprises also can prohibit permitted individuals from bringing concealed weapons on their properties.

For example, Augusta Mall management last year approved a new transportation policy that bans taxicab drivers who do business at the mall from carrying concealed weapons, even if the driver has the state weapons permit. Taxi drivers, after law enforcement officers, are the most common victim of workplace homicide, with 41 out of every 100,000 killed, according the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

OBTAINING THE WEAPONS permit in Georgia is simple. One only has to fill out an application at the county Probate Court, be fingerprinted, pass a criminal background check and buy a $24 money order payable to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

In more stringent South Carolina, residents also must pass a State Law Enforcement Division gun safety course.

Neither state requires applicants to demonstrate a need for carrying a concealed weapon.

"I think people would raise Cain if we asked that," Richmond County Probate Judge Isaac Jolles said.

Judge Jolles said a large number of applicants list their occupation as "self-employed," although he added that a wide variety of people apply for the permit.

Richmond County, the area's most populous county, issued 1,132 concealed-weapons permits last year. The county issued 1,065 marriage licenses during the same period.

Mr. Finley, who has a concealed-weapons permit, carries his pistol almost everywhere during the day, even on bank runs.

The longtime businessman brings it into the branch because his bank, like most financial institutions, does not allow commercial transactions at drive-up windows.

"Nobody wants to get out of their car holding 10 grand," he said. "Bank bags are like a beacon."

Bank officials are fully aware commercial customers bring loaded weapons into their branch offices, but they say it does not cause problems so long as the individual is discreet.

"The people out there who are legitimately carrying concealed weapons know that they should keep them concealed," said Dan Blanton, president of Georgia Bank & Trust Co.

Most workplace weapons policies take one of three forms:

Zero tolerance: No person, including employees, patrons, visitors and vendors, is allowed to bring a weapon onto the premises. Such policies are also known as "criminal trespass" policies because violation of the policy can be a prosecutable state offense.

Employees only: No-weapons policy applies only to employees.

License holders allowed: Only individuals licensed to carry a concealed weapon are allowed to bring a firearm on the property. Policies of this type usually provide for the verification of the license before the individual is allowed on site.

395,000: Average annual number of work-related aggravated assaults

84,000: Average annual number of business armed robberies

51,000: Average annual number of workplace sexual assaults

76: Percentage of all workplace homicides committed with a firearm

Wh,"re does the Winter hide away ?
My Darling asked, her eyes of blue
Fixed upon mine. "Where does he stay
All the long Spring and Summer
through r
How can he keep his i"e and snow
From getting melted in the sun?
I'm very glad he does, you know,
There wouldn't be a bit of fun
Without them. But I want to hear
Just how he does it. Let me sit
Upon your lap. Now, Auntie. deal,
Tell me about it-every bit."
So then I told my pet this tale:
When days grow warm and blue birds
Old Winter tremhkIis; he turns pale,
And hurries to the mountains high.
There in a cave concealed he lies.
And, ogre-like. he tries to thing
His net, with sudden, swift surprise,
Over the pretty, pa.sing Spring.
r Sometimes her garment's airy flow
lie clutches in his fingers grim.
But she is nimbler than her foe,
And laughs and meeks. escaping him.
And flies. Tunn Summer, with a leap.
Bounds forward. Her he dare not flout:
So rolls him up in clouds to sleep,
s Nor ever ventures to peep out,
V Until, her brief and ardent reign
r Over, with vine-wreaths garlanded,
And hands heaped high with golden grain,
The gentle Autumn comes instead.
And then, sh! then, he laughs aloud
A cruel laugh and full of glee:
And, tossing off the covering cloud.
t He rises for all men to see.
e First o'er the mountain', topmost peak
e His snowy forehead comes in sight,
And then his eyebrows, wild and bleak,
And then his eyes of flashing light.
And step by step adown the hill
He moves, toward the abodes of mrnn:
1 The Autumn falters, pale and chill,
e Is seized, is fettered in his den.
The flowers grow pale and droop and die;
The woods shake off their leaves for fear:
The butterflies and birds all fly;
And silence settles on the year.
Are you not sorry when they go ?
t Why do you laugh and shake your lead?
Why do you love the winter so?
-'Cause I make snow-balls," Darling
r Oh! philosophic eyes of blue.
Would that some older eyes I know
Cnould learn your secret - find, like you.
Sunshine in cloud and joy in snow!
Some theatrical ,experiments are
being made at this time to show that
all possible emotions and all shades
and gradations of emotion can be
expressed by facial action, and that
the method of so expressing them
can be reduced to a system, and
taught in a given number of lessons.
It secias a matter of question
whether one would be more likely
to make love or evince sorrow any
more successfully by keeping in
mind all the while the detailed
catalogue of his flexors and exten
sors, and contracting and relaxing
No. 1, 2, or 3, according to the rule.
The human memory is a treacher
ous thing, and what an enormous
disaster would result from a very
slight forgetfulness in such a nicely
adjusted system ! The fatal effect
of dropping the superior maxillary
when one intended to drop to in
ferior,'or of applying nervous sti
muli to the up track, instead of the
down, cab easily be conceived. Art
is art, alter all, be it ever so skillful
and triumphant, and science is only
a slow reading of hieroglyphis.
Nature sets high and serene above
both, and smiles compassionately
on their efforts to imitate and un
derstand. And this brings us to
what we have to say about smiling.
Do many people realize what a
wonderful thing it is that each
human being is born into the world
with his own smile ? Eyes, nose,
mouth may be merely average com
mon-place features ; may loo~k,
taken singly, very much like any
body else's eyes, nose, or mouth.
Let whoever doubts this try the
simple but endlessly amousing ex
periment of setting half a dozen
people behind a perforated curtain,
and making them put their eyes at
the holes. Not one eye ia a hun
dred can be recognized, not even by
most familiar and loving friends.
But study smiles; observe, even in
Sthe most casual way, the variety one
sees in a day, and it will soon be
felt what subtle revelation they
make, what infinite individuality
they possess.
The purely natural smile, how
ever, is seldom seen in adults; and
it is on this point that we wish to
dwell. Very early in life people
find out that a smile is a weapon,
mighty to avail in all sorts of crises.
Hence, we see the treacherous smile
of the wily; the patronizing smile
of the pompous; the obsequious
smile of the flatterer; the cynical
smile of the satirist. Very few of
these have heard of Delsarte; but
they outdo him on his own grounds.
Their smile is four-fifths of their
social stock in trade. All such
smiles are hideous. The gloomiest,
blankest look which a human face
can wear is welcomer than a trained
smile, or a smile which, if it is not
actually and consciously methodized
by its perpetrator, has become, by
long repitition, so associated with
tricks and falsities that it partakes
of their quality.
What, then, is the fine art of
If smiles may not be used for
weapons or masks, of what use are
they? That is the shape one would
think the question took in most
men's minds, if we may judge by
their behavior! There are but two
legitimate purposes of the smile;
but two honest smiles. On all little
children's faces such smiles are seen.
Woe to us that we so soon waite
and lose them!
The first use of a smile is to ex
press affectionate good-will. The
second, to express mirth.
Why do we not always smile
whenever we meet the eye of a fel
low-being? That is the true, in
tended recognition which ought to
pass from soul to soul constantly.
Little children, in simple communi
ties, do this involuntarily, unconsci
ously. The honest-hearted German
peasant does it. It is like magical
sunlight all through that simple
land, the perpetual greeting on the
right hand and on the left, between
strangers, as they pass by each
other, never without a smile. This,
then, is "the fine art of smiling;'
like all fine art, true art, perfection
of art, the simplest following of
Now and then one sees a face
which has kept its smile pure and
undefield. It is a woman's face
usually; often a face which has traces
of great sorrow all over it, till the
smile breaks. Such a smile trans
figures; such a smile, if the artful
but knew it, is the greatest ' eapon
a face can have. Sickness and age
cannot turn its edge; hostility and 1
distrust cannot withstand its spell;
little children know it, and smile
back; even dumb animals come
closer and look up for another.
If we were asked to sum up in
one single rule what would most
conduce to beauty in the human
face, we should say, "Never tamper
with your smile; never once use it
for a purpose. Let it be on your
face like the reflection of the sun
light' on a lake. But, unlike the
sunlight, your good-will must be

" What, smile perpetually ?" asks
the realist. "How silly! "
Yes, smile perpetually ! Go to
Delsarte here, and learn even from
the mechanician of smiles that a
smile can be indicated by a move
ment of muscles so slight that nei
ther instruments nor terms exist to
measure or state it; in fact, that the
subtlest smile is little more than an
added brightness to the eye and a
trenmulousness of the mouth. One
second of time is more than long
enough for it; but eternity does not
outlast it !
In that wonderfully wise and I
tender and poetic book, the "Lay- I
man's Breviary," Leopold Schefer 1
"A anile suffices to smile death away;
And love defends thee e'en from wrath

Then let what may befall thee-still smile
And howe'er Death may rob thee-still1

A remarkable example of change
of habit following a change of con
dition is given by Mr. T. H. Potts,
in a late number of "Nature." The
case is that of a bird belonging to
the parrot family, and known as
the Ken. The bird is found in cer
tain localities amid the wild scenery
of the Southern Alps, in the Middle
Island of New Zealand, and, up to
the advent of the Europeans, its
food consisted mainly of the sweet
of flowers and the berries of moun
tain shrubs, with occasionally such
insects as are found in the crevices
of rocks or beneath the bark of
trees. Its aliment, therefore, though
not exclusively vegetarian, was such
as called forth no display of bold
ness in the effort to procure a saffi
cient supply. But with the occupa
tion of the country by the English,
its habits in this regard have mate
rially changed. Attracted by the
meat-gallows of the back-country
squatters, the bird soon learned, in
the scarcity of other food, to tear
its meal from the half-dried carcass
of some slaughtered sheep, or, fail
ing to obtain this, the drying sheep
skins stretched on the, rails of the
stock yard were laid under con
The bird now tears his food from
the back of the living sheep. We I
are told by a local paper that for I
the last three years the sheep
belonging to a settler in the Wanaka
district (Otago) appeared afflicted 1
with what was thought to be a new i
kind of disease; neighbors and
shepherds were equally at a loss to 1
account for it, having never seen f
anything of the kind before. The
first appearance of this supposed
disease is a patch of raw flesh on
the loin of the sheep, about the size
of a man's hand; from this, matter 1
continually runs down the side,
taking the wool completely off the I
part it touches, and in many cases
death is the result. At last a
shepherd noticed one of the moun
tain parrots sticking to a sheep and i
pecking at a sore, and that the
animal seemed unable to get rid of
its tormentor. The run-holder gave
directions to his shepherds to keep
watch on the parrots when muster
ing on the high ground; th@ resrlt
has been that during the present
season, when mustering high upon I
the ranges near the snow-line, they t
saw several of the birds surrounding
a sheep, which was freshly bleeding
from a small wound in the loin; on t
other sheep were noticed places I
where the Kea had begun to attack o
them, small pieces of wool having t
been picked out.
"From the recent settlement of
the country," says Mr. Potts, "it I
would be quite possible to date each
step in the development of the
destructiveness of the Kea, the gra- 8
dual yet rapid change from the mild
gentleness of the honemy-eater, luxu
riating amid fragrant blossoms
when the season was lapped in sun
shine, or picking the berried fruits1
in the more sheltered gullies when
winter had sternly crushed and hid
dea the vegetation of its summer1
haunts. Led perhaps to relish
animal food from its partly insect
ivorous habits, its visits to the oat
stations show something like the
bold thievery of some of the con'idar,
while its attacks on sheep feeding
on the high ranges exhibit an amount
of daring akin to the savage fierce- I
ness of the raptorial."-Galaa-y.
After dwelling at length on the I
apparent sincerity of the religious
portion of the population of the i
continent, and commending the
practice of the Catholic Church in
keeping its sanctuaries open to corn
municants at alitimnes, and bringing ,
noble. to a common level in their
devotions, Mr.Phillipe got his word'1
in on the colored brother. He said I
the people of Europa did not know'1
black from white. In Paris he had I
seena dauen coaples of colored peo
ple prommnding the snost fashioms
ble walks, and he had been the only
person rude enough to turn round
and stare at them. At the Dome
of the Invalides, at the House of 1
Deputies, he had seen colored men i
high in office, and profoundly re- i
spected. At the Propaganda, at i
Rome, the lecturer who was most e
applauded was a colored man, and 1
at St. Peter's Cathedral the priest i
whose chanting of the beautiful f
Latin service delighted him, was t
also block, When he learned this he I
said to himself: "This must be four c
thousand miles from Boston.-[ex- I

It is reported that when the dis- a
tinguished orator, Mr. Frederick ,
Douglass, arrived in St. Louis, Mis- t
souri, he registered at the Planters' a
House, but was refused the right of a
dining there. t
Hon. Tom. Corwin, of Ohio, form- F
erly Senator, and once a Cabinet of- a
ficer, was once similarly refused in fa
Kentucky, simply and solely on the 14
ground of his complexion. 9

Mr. Morrill, of the U. S. Senate, e
thinks that the Supplementary Bill k
forces colored men to "our firesides b

we aver, with all due respect. It x
merely says that if a hotel keeper P
obtains a license to feed people, he
bas no right to exclude a man from n
the table because the sun has burned
him a little blacker than somebody I
else. "Firesides and bosoms," for- C

We learn that Colonel Merrill,
District Attorney Corbin, and At- b
torney General Chamberlain left for
Washington on Monday, at the a
special request of the national au- e
thorities, to confer upon the Ku- b
Klux affairs of this State. Grave A
and most important questions are d
to be discussed, especially in refer
.nce to the future proededings in ]
court and in the field against 'the
Ku-Klux. The President and the c
new Attorney General do not se- A
cept the present lull in Ku-Klux '
activity as any evidence or even in
dication of permanent peace and tl
good order. It is known that the s,
whole up-country is now full of u
threats against all who have aided "
in unearthing the diabolical plan.
And the whole country will join h
with the President in his unrelent- tl
ing determination to finally crush g
out this stupendous conspiracy. *
The great necessity now is to obtain ,
additional executive and judicial a
force with which to push the arrest ti
and trial of the fiends who have Ii
thus far gone unwhipped of justice. b
There will be no pause until the
needed lesson is folly taught-that a
protection to every man in the ai
peaceable enjoyment of all his rights
is the boon of every citizen and the
unalterable purpose at the Govern- ,j
ment, and woe to the hand that is up g
lifted against it. It is, moreover, a
now proposed to seek out and bring '
to justice the real leaders in this no
farious conspiracy; what the Ku- ,
Klux organ offlthis city calls the a
"fall poppiei"--a happy phrase, the e
meaning of which the Pho'nixr maya
soon learn more than it now knows* t
We congratulate all our citizens on a
the fact that the Ooveqnment at f
Washington is alive to the situation E

C.) Union.
The most remarkable incident of
f the moment in this country is the
i arrival and the speeches of the Jap
enese embassadors. It is, however,
no "Tommy" affair; and it is with
a consciousness that we are not
perhaps quite perfect in political
wisdom an American citizen may re
flect that Governor Ito, who made
the recent striking speech in San t
Francisco, is not, under our laws,
capable of naturalization. It has a
become so much our habit to con
sider Asiatics as barbarians that
when the Burlingame embassy was t
feasted in New York it was scarcely
possible for some of the chief ora- a
tors upon our side to restrain a tone a
of humorous sarcasm; and there
was a very general popular feeling
that the yellow foreigners with al
mond eyes had as little in common
with sensible American citizens as
they had just stepped off the dinner- 2
plates upon which their potraits
were painted. Indeed, to call any
thing Chinese is to brand it as hope- t
lessly outlandish; and there are a
great many Americans who will be -
very apt to regard our Japenese
visitors as if they were Laplanders
or Esquimaux.
It will be a most interesting reva
lation, that of the progress of the
reform of Japanese society. In the
speech of Governor Ito at San Fran
cisco he said that few but native
Japanese know anything of the in- s
ternal condition of the country; -
while by reading, hearing, and ob
servation in foreign lands, the Jap- a
enese have acquired a general
knowledge of the constitutions, ha
bits, and manners of most foreign
countries. The Japanese are an
xious, he says, to reach the highest
point of civilization, and to this end
they have a lopted the military,
naval, scientif c, and educatiqnal in- p
stitutions of the most enlightened f
lands. But with the instinct of the b
Orient, the moth r of thought and C
of religions, the G ernor does not n
exaggerate the im ortance of ma
terial advantages. 'ie mental im- q
provement of the cou. try has been $
far greater than the !iaterial al- o
though the material opei.-d the way.
Despotic sovereigns hud held the
people in ignorance for agcs. With
improved material advantages came
the consciousness of rights which
had been so long dented. Within
a year the feudal system of many
centuries had been entirely abolish
ed, without a shot or a drop of
blood. What country in the Middle
Ages, proudly asks the orator, broke
down its feudal system without war?
He then adds what is perhape the
most remarkable statement of all,
that even Japan already sees what
the Western nations of the highest
civilization see so slowly, that the
welfare of the country depends
very much upon the education of
women. Already Japanese girls-
"our maidens," as the Governor calls I
them-are coming to American
schools. The full force of this fact
will appear only to those who know
what the traditional feeling in re
gard to women has always been in
China and Japan. The embassy
has come to observe more closely
the details and developments of our
government and inventive genius
and enterprise, and to gather every
kind of valuable suggestion for
Ja n Then, says the orator, "the
dikin the centre of our na
tional flag shall no longer appear
like a wafer over a sealed empire,
but henceforth be infact what at is
intended to be--the noble emblem
of the ricim sun, moving onward
and forw amidst the enlightened *
nations of the world."
There has been an exchange of
courteous messages between the na
tional and local authorities and the
Japanese embessadors, and Con- 0
grein has appropriated fifty thou
sand dollars for their entertainment
while in Washington. Both the:a
good feeling which the eubaamy ex
presses and the intelligence, with t
which it studies and appreciates
our institutious have been manifest
ed in a very striking desgree byMr.
Kori, the resident minister of 'hn
at Washington ; and the advan
tages to our manufactures and eaom
merceeof the opening of avast and
ifriendly country like Japan are so
evident, that, for every reason, the

William Irving Says Captain Ed
xcards lias Only a Copy.
Although Captain niarles Kdwards. of Toledo,
came forward >>ome time a?o saying that he pos-
SPsßed the original model of the cup winning yacht
America, William Irvring. of the Irving Manufact
uring Company, Statin Island, told a Tribune re
porter la«t night that he himself had the only orig
inal model, and that all others were copies.
Captain Edwards said some days ago that he
would not give liis "original" to the New York
Yarht Club because of what he considered was
that body's unfair treatment of Sir Thomas I^ipton.
I>n»t night Mr. Irving said: "I'd rather give it to
Fir Thnma* than to have, the New York Yacht
Club own it. In fact, the last time Sir Thomas
LJpton was in this country I wanted to make him
a present of this model, but my wife dissuaded me
because it had been in the family so long-
Mr. Irving said that the mo.iel was formerly
owned by hfs father-in-law, the late Joseph H.
N'eleon. and that Mr. Nelson received it from a
man engaged in the managing of a famous actress.
Mr. Irving gave the man's name on a promise that
It would not be published without the latter's con
'This theatrical man." said Mr. Irving, "was a
hoy back in the 7<v s when George Steers, designer
of the America, cleared out th<> model loft of his
yard In India street. Greenpojnt. The boy was
employed there a* a helper, and one day Edward
C'ullen, superintendent. B ;iid Mr. Steers wanted all
the old models taken out and burnod. Th° boy and
CuHen, however, disregarded order* on Mr as to
hide five models and secretly tako them from the
place. The America and another went to the boy."
Mr. Irving then read a letter written by tie the
atrical man to Mr. Nelson several years ago. in
which he said he had found in a chest the model of
the America, wrapped i n muslin and oiled paper
and hearing the label. "Model of America."
Cullen told him. he Paid, that Mr. Steers had a
hard wood copy O f the model, and that may have
acoounted for his willingness to destroy the orig
inal. In this letter the theatrical man said he was
willing to make affidavit to these statements, since.
out of freindshlp to Mr. Nelson he had given the
model to him as a valuable relic.
Mr. Irvlngs) model is in soft pine and has been
mounted on a board and thinly varnished! I\>
pointed out last night the penril marks of measure
ment that showed through the varnish, and also
the holes punched in ihe deck for pegging and sim
ilar work of the yacht builders. Mr. Irving, 1n tak
ing it down from the dining room wall of his home.
In Ward avenue, TompkinSTille, remarked that, it
had hung there for years and his friends ail knew
of it.
"I would never have thought it riec-rssary to say
anything about it." he explained, "if It had not
been for the Toledo man's claim. T was going to
write to him, but one of our travelling salesmen is
going to Toledo in a few weeks, and I will ask
him to drop in on '""aptain Kdwards and find out
come of the facts omitted in the newspaper Htoriep.
"The. real question is whether the Toledo model is
in hard wood. If it is, then it is only a copy, since
nil the original working models are, made of soft
pine. I have no other reason in making this known
than to settle the matter, since I want to give
this to a good sportsman, like Lipton. or bequeath
it to a museum."
In discussing seme, of the evidence as to the.
genuineness of Captain Kdwards's model, Mr. Irv
ing said that Captain Kdwards had been quoted in
newspaper dispatches as saying a New York ship
builder named William D. Logan had given hin?
the model in IS^, two years after the America wort
tan ci;>.
- "Now," Baid Mr. Irving, "the time of th* burn
ing of the models and the saving of the America's
by my theatrical friend was somewhere in tho
70s. I have never asked him the exact date and
be did not mention it in hia letter. You will notice
that at that time Cullen, the foreman, who had
worked thirty years for Mr. Steers, told the boy-
Mr. Steers had a copy in hardwood. Therefore it
could not have been Mr. Steer3's copy that was
given to Captain Edwards in 1853.
"Shipbuilders hero on Staten Island who remem
ber George Steers say that he avoided giving out
models or having them copied. I feel absolutely
sure that this model hanging on my wall here is
the original, so I am doubly interested to know
how William D. Logan got an alleged model or a
copy as soon after the great victory us 1553.
"Since The Tribune published the story of Cap
tain Kd wards I have inquired among the older
shipbuilders here, and none of them I have asked
can recall a William D. IjOgan. My wife and I
will make affidavits as to how we. cam« by our
model and, as I have already shown, the theat
rical man will stand by Ms statement. At any
rate, Captain Edwards and I appear to a.jrree on
one point, and that is we don't want the New York
Yacht Club to have the model."

Rough Rider, Wife and Servant
Shot in Home Xear Mataxcan.
Matawan, N. J. May 16 (Special*. -Armed
posses are pcourinp Monmouth County to-night
for the murderer of William B. Shepherd, the
owner of the Marlboro squab farm, four miles
from here; his wife Josephine, and Jennie
Bendy, a servant, who were shot at the farm
cany this morning.
Shepherd wa» a member of the Rough Riders
during the Spanish-American War. The weapon
used is believed to have been a Winchester re
peating shotgun owned by Shepherd.
It is believed that the women were shot first
and that Shepherd was slain as he was rushing
downstairs, having been alarmed by the noise
of the shooting.
The seven-months-old girl baby, asleep on the
second floor of the house, was unharmed. The
apparent motive for the crime was robbery, al
thoug-h a desire for revenge may have actuated
the murderer.
The police believe the murder was committed
by Joe Huron, a Hungarian farmhand who had
worked for Shepherd but disappeared about two
daya aj?o. Neighbor! said he was a surly fel
low and that Shepherd had so much trouble
with him that he intended to discharge him,
but Huron disappeared.
A man answering the description of the farm
laborer was seen at ♦> o'clock this morning by
Joseph Miller and Mr*. Charles Strong coming
from the Shepherd place. He was cropping the
fields at a lively rate, and when last seen was
going In the direction of Marlboro.
The house was ransacked from top to bottom.
Bureau drawers were pulled out and the contents
scattered about the floor. Trunks had been
emptied of articles, evidently in a search to*
Frank Zast^ra, a young Pole who has he«n
working on the farm only two days, carried the
first news of the crime to a neighboring farm
house. Up is now under surveillance. A pecul
iar story has been told concerning him. It 1*
said he claimed to have power to foretell futuro
happenings, and that* Mr. Shepherd had told
a friend the young man had predicted that
within two weeks two men would come to the
farm and murder all tha member? of the house
Zastera. said that he began hi* day's work at
,"i o'clock this morning and that he was engaged
outside until 6 o'clock, when he returned to the
hou?e. On entering: he saw his employer and
the latter's wife, lying doad on the floor. H«
ran to the home of William Wall, a neighbor,
with the news, and the latter accompanied him
back to the Shepherd farm.
Zastcra said he heard no shooting in the
direction of the farmhouse, and 'he police
think this peculiar, as Frank McDowell, another
neighbor, said that while on a bird shooting: ex
pedition, between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning,
he heard firing in the direction of the Shepherd
home, but paid no attention to it. thinking
some one was out shooting, like himself.
The body of Mrs. Shepherd was found in tho
front hallway, about two feet from ths bottom
of the stairs. It was clad only In a nightdress.
Near her lay a baby's milk bottle. It was evi
dent that she had gone downstairs to get miltc
for her baby and was returning to her bedroom
when fired upon. The first charge apparently
struck her on the left hip. tho bullet passing
into the abdomen. After she fell, it is believed.
.< second shot was fired at her, which tore
away the right aide of her face.
The body of Shepherd lay across that of bis
vife. He was fully dressed. It is believed he
was shot when half way down the stair?. This
theory Is supported n >' the bloodstains on the
.steps. He was shot in the right side and in
the neck. Then ho probably fell down the stairs
and across hia wife's body.
There are two connected kitchens in the
house, arid three steps lead from the. main
kitchen to the smaller one. Jennie Bendy 's
body -was found at the foot of these steps. Sh ?
was shot through the heart as she was about to
enter the. smaller kitchen.
Coroner Cravatt. of Freehold, took charge of
the bodies of the victims. Sheriff C. Asa Fran
cis and Prosecutor Henry If. Nevins were in
formed and at once set to work to run down the

Frank Crooks, a farm hand, was arrested near
Tennent to-day. Blood stains on his coat and
shirt sleeves, he shhJ, were from killing chick
ens. These garments were sent to a chemist
for examination. Crooks will be held until the
inquest. Warden Cashion. of th« county Jail,
believes Crooks innocent. He says th» prisoner
went near the scene of the murder through
Coroner Cravatt and a Jury visited »h«
Shepherd home this afternoon. After view-
Ing the bodies the coronor announced that an
inquest would be held in the town hail at Marl
boro at 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
John R. Snedecker, chief of police of Atlantic
Highlands, reached the Shepherd farm with
two bloodhounds this afternoon. The hounds
soon struck a trail, which they followed for
about a quarter of a mile. They were started
afresh six or seven times, but after each at
tempt they struck the same trail and lost it.

Opened as the Drive-In in May 1948, it was owned by H.J. Ochs. This was the first drive-in in the Grand Rapids area. It was later operated by Triangle Drive-In Co. and was renamed Division Drive-In. Car capacity listed at 600 with a single screen.

Later renamed Stardust Drive-In, no closing date listed but has been demolished and an RV dealer is now where the drive-in once stood.

Since it was the only drive-in in town when it opened, the original name was simply Drive-In Theater. It was renamed the Division in late 1948 or early 1949. The next name change came around 1962 when it became the Stardust.

The Stardust Drive-In restarted operation in August 1962 with Floyd Bloss as operator. The theater was not in operation before that. I became associated with Mr. Bloss shortly after that as co-operator and projectionist. At that time 2nd run family movies were shown. In 1964 it converted to x rated fare and closed in the 70’s. Mr Bloss now resides in Las Vegas. I left the business when x rated movies were played. Mr Bloss also operated the Hastings Drive-In and the Burton Capri theaters. John Whitman

The location of this business is currently in the city limits of Kentwood, several miles south of the city of Grand Rapids.

Bloss was a well known pornographer in the 1960s.In about 1965, he hired a young man(age 22) as a projectionist.His name was Harry Mohney.Eventually, young Mohney became Floyds partner and the two men ran several porn theaters in Michigan.Bloss experienced a tragedy when his 19 year old daughter Debra was murdered in one of her father`s porn theaters (in Battle Creek).After the murder, Bloss sold his share of the theaters to Mohney and moved to Hawaii.Mohney expanded his porn holdings and is now worth nearly a billion dollars.dollars.

Carmike Cinemas did not exist under that name in 1984; at that time they were still known as Martin Theatres. Martin’s Virginia locations were concentrated in the Hampton Roads/Tidewater region: Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth and Williamsburg. This theater was most likely opened by Plitt Southern Theatres, Consolidated Theatres or an operator other than Martin/Carmike.

Is this theater being expanded? The Google Street View of April 2013 shows quite a bit of construction. There was discussion in 2011 before the Cherokee Planning Board to expand to 6 screens.

rivest266 on December 1, 2013 at 4:24 pm

6 screens in 2013.

Mark_L on December 1, 2013 at 5:22 pm

Numerous ticketing sites currently show movies playing on 6 screens at this site. (Fandango, Movietickets, Boxofficemojo, etc)

Trolleyguy on December 1, 2013 at 5:36 pm

Also including the theater’s website as well.

CWL---Critics of the Lincoln Memorial Insult It's Designers Intelligence

A Misunderstood Monument: Critics of the Lincoln Memorial Instult its Designer's Intelligence, Andrew Ferguson, The Wall Street Journal, May 24-25 2008, p. W12.

Andrew Ferguson, author of Land of Lincoln, notes that four score and six Memorial Days ago, the ribbon was cut on the Lincoln Memorial with Robert Lincoln, and Presidents Howard Taft and Warren Harding officiating. The designers of the 1922 outdoor sculpture did not foresee that it would be interpreted as imperialist propaganda. Ferguson notes Lewis Mumford's remarks. "One feels not the living beauty of our American past, but the mortuary air of archaeology" and "Who lives in that shrine, I wonder---Lincoln... or the generation that took pleasure in the mean triumph of the Spanish America [War] and placed the imperial standard in the Philippines and Caribbean?"

Today many critics have drank from Mumford's fount. Kristopher A. Thomas , author of The Lincoln Memorial and American Life understands the memorial to be "a confection of a cultural and political elite bet on stripping Lincoln of his earthly imperfections." For Thomas and others who Thomas quotes, the memorial's designers were political reactionaries who induced a politico-cultural program into the memorial for the purpose of controlling the populace by sedating it with a mythology.

Ferguson assures the readers that the designers were as intelligent and worldly as the critics. A North Carolinian architect and a Yankee sculptor rejected proposals to idealize Lincoln's visage and dress him in clothes other than plain civilian attire. (CWL---Lincoln in a toga, like Washington in the Museum of American History?)

The designer wanted Lincoln seated, not standing like military commanders, with a reflective and contemplative expression on his face. With hair uncombed, a crooked tie, tension in his hands and the eyes not quite symmetrical, the designer's Lincoln is certainly not stripped of his earthly imperfections. For Ferguson, the memorial is not a starry-eyed, naive expression of imperialism but a subtle and natural expression of awe.

Ferguson quotes Harding's dedication speech to reinforce this opinion. Lincoln "was a very natural human being with the frailties mixed with the virtues of humanity. There are neither supermen nor demigods in the government of republics. It will be better for our conception of government and institutions if we will understand this fact." The truth of this statement for Ferguson is found on the walls of the memorial. There are no hidden codes of imperialism in the monument. "In the Gettysburg Address, in which Lincoln reminded his country that it potential for greatness lived in its founding proposition." The memorial is large and is perfect in form and scale because it honors "not just a man but a proposition---an idea that no wised-up debunker can hope to deflate."

Wind advisory in effect Wednesday; chance for rain, storms to follow

Gusts as high as 45 mph are predicted

Gusty winds are expected throughout Wednesday, with a chance for showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and later.

The National Weather Service in Topeka has issued a wind advisory from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday for a large chuck of northeast Kansas, including Shawnee County.

The weather service predicts wind speeds will increase throughout the morning and diminish somewhat around sunset. The peak south winds likely will be from late morning through mid-afternoon.

Sustained winds of 25 mph to 35 mph are forecast with gusts up to 45 mph. The weather service cautioned east-west motorists should “keep a firm grip on the steering wheel.”

In addition to Shawnee County, the wind advisory affects Brown, Clay, Cloud, Dickinson, Geary, Jackson, Lyon, Marshall, Nemaha, Osage, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Riley and Wabaunsee counties.

There is a chance for rain showers across east-central Kansas during the afternoon and evening, the weather service said. Temperatures are forecast in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Showers will increase in coverage and thunderstorms may enter the area overnight into Thursday morning. A cold front during the day Thursday will spark more showers and thunderstorms mostly across eastern Kansas. Highs in the mid-60s are expected.

Gill era begins with QB questions

Coach: 'The quarterback spot is definitely wide open'

LAWRENCE — Rare is the coach that gets to take over a program flying high. If things were going well, of course, the job probably would not have been available.

So in at least one way, being a football coach is the same as being a plumber.

Kansas coach Turner Gill is no exception to this axiom. He enters his first season at KU with a number of unresolved issues; some a byproduct of last year's 5-7 season, some just part of the natural course of things.

He knew his circumstances going in, of course, but, man, it would have been nice to have a proven starting quarterback left in the stable, wouldn't it?

Instead, Gill has to choose from two quarterbacks — Kale Pick and Jordan Webb — who don't have a nickel's worth of meaningful college experience between them.

Practice begins Wednesday, the first game begins a month after that, and in between Gill has a decision to make.

"The quarterback spot is definitely wide open at this point in time for us," Gill said.

Well, maybe not completely wide open. Gill indicated in the spring that the competition was basically between Pick, a redshirt sophomore, and Webb, a redshirt freshman. They were the starters in the spring game and they both certainly chose Kansas under the presumption they would get a crack at replacing Todd Reesing as Kansas' quarterback.

To oversimplify the whole thing, Webb has the stronger arm and is more of a traditional spread passer while Pick has the better wheels and fits an offense that will use the quarterback as a runner. That may not mean much, though, as Gill plans to deploy multiple offensive strategies. He said in the spring he was looking for leadership from the quarterback position, then said at Big 12 Media Days last week that he wasn't sure he was going to get enough from that spot.

"I think it's probably not necessarily totally going to come from a quarterback," he said. "And we talked about everybody being a leader, and everybody has an opportunity to be a leader on the football team."

The Jayhawks return 38 players, including 17 starters from last season. They begin the season at 6 p.m. on Sept. 4 against North Dakota State in Lawrence. The game will be televised on Fox College Sports Central.
