We are approaching Winter Solstice, the low point of sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere. The time of year and the election/transition predicament have me reflecting on an important myth in the yoga tradition.

It is called the Churning of the Ocean of Milk and tells the tale of a search for immortality. In order to find it, opposite beings must work & churn together; half on one side and half on the other. Alas, once it is found there is another struggle for which half shall imbibe it.

In the story, the light beings/Devas are the one half deemed to receive it. The dark forces/Asuras are tricked out of it; although, they receive much bounty along the way and would likewise have tricked the Devas themselves. Some of the dark forces get the nectar and are made immortal nonetheless- they continue to show their power in the form of eclipses, regularly blotting out light from the Sun and Moon. They also show their power in the form of wars and plagues in general; delusion, greed, and hatred in particular.

I image you are thinking, this sounds pretty familiar…

This myth, like many of its kind, points to the incessant struggle between light and dark forces. The supremacy of light, but also the relevance of shadow and darkness as well. In the full story, they were needed to churn the ocean and helped bring many gifts and splendors to the world. For instance, the last figure to arise from the Ocean with the chalice of nectar was Dhanvantri, a celestial physician and giver of medicine. And lest we think the Devas are perfect, there are plenty of stories of their follies and foibles.

What is useful about myth is the potential to see life from a non-logical, right brain perspective. They are links between our personal and collective dramas and a deeper understanding of life and humanity. The renowned mythology scholar Joseph Campbell called myths ”pubic dreams” and dreams “private myths”.

I invite you to gently consider what is useful about this story as you live into the rest of this strange, sad, and significant year? How do dream your private myth?

The outer light is waning at this time of year- the inner light is always available. Here’s my dream:

I shine my light for the benefit of all, without exception. We work together to create a better world for all beings.

Five Facets of a Mindful Person

One early analytical model of what it means to be a mindful person was developed by Ruth Baer PhD at the University of Kentucky. This model is significant in that indicates the most important factors and provides a way to measure mindful traits and how they might correlate to physical and mental outcomes. The analysis yielded five particular facets: acting with awareness, describing, non-reactivity to inner experience, non-judging of inner experience, and observing. Using this template, here are some key touchstones to orient you towards the cultivation of mindfulness on a regular basis.

1. Be aware of what you are doing.
This does not imply it is necessarily easy, pleasant, or interesting to pay attention; simply that you are showing up for the actual experience of living rather than going through the motions. Basic daily tasks can become mini- meditations: brushing your teeth, taking a shower, getting the mail, drinking water.

2. Find new ways to articulate your direct physical and emotional experiences.
We have lots of ways to talk about concepts and things, and often don’t know how to describe what we are sensing and feeling. There is great power in noticing what you notice and speaking from your present moment reality. Try it with simple things: How does a walk make your body feel? How does someone’s smile make you feel? How does it feel to be wrong or right about something? Or, to not know?

3. Recognize that you get stressed, triggered, reactive many times every day.
It may be related to past or future events on your mind; it may be situational or relational; it may be the state of world. Recognize that it is happening and work with the energy right now. These are your patterns and unconsciously influence how you will react and respond. Conscious breathing helps to harness the stress energy and shape the future.

4. Recognize that much of what you perceive is colored by your own judgments.
Judgements are unavoidable and limiting thoughts. It is helpful to remember that thoughts are just things, not fixed realities. They can and should evolve as we grow and learn. Play with catching some of your habitual judgmental thoughts, “Hello judgment!”

5. Awareness of Awareness.
The fifth facet has to do with the distinctly human ability to be aware of the mind itself, referred to as meta-cognition. This is where the formal practice of meditation is uniquely powerful as a way to be aware of sensations, emotions, thoughts, and not so reflexively driven by them. Meditation is linked to the phenomenon of brain integration, where the three levels of brain function coordinate in new ways.

Meditate in some way- it will help you live and lead with dignity.

Having a home yoga practice has a whole new meaning in this time of virtual yoga classes and social distancing.

Students have commented that while virtual classes aren’t quite the same, they have helped them create structure, practice more regularly, manage the stress of this extraordinary event; as well as, make, sustain, and renew connections with others.

There are also the privacy, convenience, and cozy factors.  You don’t have to drive across town for your favorite class, practice in your underwear if you want, and you have your pets nearby.

Taking all this into account, as well as some of the challenges, here are some suggestions about how to make the most of the virtual yoga experience.

  • Am I doing it right? Remember that Yoga is so much more than the poses and techniques; the process has its own magic. The way we endeavor to teach is extra awareness based so there is less chance of doing it wrong and more chance of learning from your direct experience.  *If you do have a particular question about technique, ask after class or email.
  • What are we doing now? You can get lost at times….it may be that the teacher wasn’t perfectly clear or that you spaced out a bit….no big deal, just tune back in and find your way anew. If you have feedback for any of us in regards to clarity, tell us or email so we learn.
  • Is there anybody else out there? Sometimes it helps to notice the participant list of who is in class before we begin and recognize that you are doing this with other people at the same time. You are actually having a communal experience. There is a period before class and after class to say hello, and you can also just zoom in and out without socializing.
  • I really need to vacuum…It can be useful to create a dedicated space in your home. And to keep it clean and clear of stuff. This is a very classical recommendation for yoga, create the space that signals your brain that you are doing something special. If you can’t find that space in your home, or your device doesn’t allow that, it can just be your mat zone while you are on it.
  • Am I doing enough or am I getting lazy? Being physically challenged can be over-rated, you end up forcing it and creating pain rather than relieving it. And, it is hard for us as instructors to know what is safe and productive when we can’t see you. A good rule of thumb is to do 80% of what you think is doable. If you want to see how it is to challenge yourself with a particular pose, do it every day at 80% and see where you are in 1 week.

With the current corporate boycott of spending advertising dollars on Social Media platforms, it reminded me that I was overdue in speaking out about our departure from Social Media last year, aka Social Media Distancing.

From the time the Information Super Highway was a dirt road, I have been an optimistic pessimist in regards to the Highway …working on that Highway and reading Clifford Stolls: Silicon Snake Oil paved the Highway for me.

At the Sol Center, we had been questioning the efficacy of social media platforms for some time. Cambridge Analytica, constant false news and adverts, personal privacy, the incendiary ramblings of elected officials, etc …it was all really just too anti-social, and not at all compatible with the verdant mindful mission of the Sol Center.

Upon learning about the peril of Suzie Kelly in the Fall of 2019. It became abundantly clear, that it was now the time to depart Social Media platforms with immediate effect, and no longer offer any support to these platforms in any fashion. The business implications of a social media presence for the Sol Center or Natasha could no longer, in any form, be justified …and with that we were gone. From a purely business perspective the decision was difficult, but it was conscience, reasoned, and also very liberating.

The catalyst for this departure came about after reading what had happened with Suzie Kelly’s loss of her retirement savings. The data that Facebook and Aristocrat had compiled about Suzie, allowed Aristocrat’s behavioral analytics to easily recognize and prey upon her gambling addiction, or that of any Facebook user.  Good News! Susie, and two other Plaintiffs were able to reach a class action agreement in principle totaling 155 million in the Spring of 2020.

I will miss the adventures of: Felix at Huddersfield Station, Augie the Plant Doggie, my cousin washing his RV, Sadie Golden, and of course your adventures as well.

To be truly effective in forcing the hand of change on Social Media platforms, an entity cannot simply temporarily or permanently suspend the spending of advertising dollars. Entities must remove themselves from Social Media platforms entirely …and the same for individuals.

At the time I was born, my mother was 29. She was now the mother of 3 living in Hyde Park, Illinois. She often said she missed the 1960’s because she was already with child by age 18; but she was still a woman of her time. She was an artist and writer, she had been a playboy bunny in the clubs, she married a Jew when her family had never met one, she befriended and often housed unusual, interesting, radical, struggling people, she was anti-war, she was gay friendly, had campaigned for Kennedy.

She is gone now so I can’t ask her to refresh me, but I imagine she was devastated by the assassinations of President Kennedy and years later, in my third term in her womb, Martin Luther King. I was born the day Robert Kennedy won the California primary for their Democratic Presidential Nominee, he was killed the next day. And we lived minutes away from the riot scene of the Democratic National Convention. I was probably in her arms when she watched the TV those days and heard the city around her in chaos.

Flash to now: I watch, listen, and sense into the events of these past weeks. The tragic death of Ahmaud Arbery. The knee on the neck of George Floyd. The ridiculous responses of our president, who has fanned racial tensions flagrantly all along. What am I to do? How am I to meet the moment? Me, a babe of the civil rights era, the daughter of a performance poet, and an ordained minister?

Looking around my life, I am aware, more than ever, that it is lily white. No black friends or neighbors, very few places where I come into contact with any diversity. I had not noticed. It happened gradually as I left work in organizations and focused on creating something of my own. Like my mother, who was sucked into domestic and suburban life; only worse because I don’t even have children to draw me out into the community they might have, or make me think about the youth perspective.

I attended the “Black Lives Matter” event on the U of A campus this past weekend and thought of her, my mother. She was more socially active than I am. More dramatic. She would have carried a sign. She would have known some of these performers on stage, or their equivalents in her day. She was someone who could get up on stage and speak and sing of the aches of the wounded heart and the ravages of oppression. She was someone who would affirm anyone who tried to as well. She wasn’t political, but she was a champion of truth and justice and the power of the spoken word.
Two of the speakers at the rally spoke of the need to stand up, the need for all marginalized people to raise their voices, the need to risk offending the powers that be. I heard them. And then heard them again, when they said that those who are standing here will turn away again. White people in particular. Will retreat. Will collude. Will comply. Again. They were scolding us and I felt it, and deserved it. They also were voicing their despair; you might feel good about being here letting us be us, but you will forget about us tomorrow….

A client I had been with earlier in the day- grieving deeply the wounds of her family combined with the grief of our country and world, likewise had doubted that any protest would matter. Not just this but in general- all that has been trampled these last 3 years….
It’s too big and pervasive. All the brokenness. And the Powers That Be, that serve themselves and their kind alone.

And yet: Something finally does seem to be happening. Moving the needle. Shaking the status quo. What can I do? How can I contribute to the moment? How will I remember, tomorrow and in the weeks, months, years to come what is happening and what is needed to help others up and out of not only personal despair (which I am trained to do), but systemic oppression (which I am not)?

Please know this reflection is primarily personal. I am sharing it to expose my own process rather than to wave a sign of any kind. As a contemplative, someone who is more introverted than extroverted- more emotional than intellectual- more spiritual than practical- I am searching for my authentic response to how will I remember and act.

I will take heart and inspiration from those I see standing up, speaking out, calling out, crying out. One of the presenters yesterday, sang a song about the places she can’t go because of the risk of being killed by police. It was stunning and at one point she screeched and screeched and it was just, right. Just as we would hope in our grief workshops when people connect to the rage or fear or desperation that really was a natural way to react, but most likely was repressed to stay alive. We have to allow ourselves and others to grieve, which includes rage and anger properly directed.

I will continue to listen and care and beam a deep faith in the potential of individuals to connect with deeper powers than the powers that be. As a black minister said of Trump’s photo op at St. John’s Church, “The God I serve is higher than that.”
I will continue to commit to my own contemplative path of Yoga. Prayer. Meditation. Not as an escape or evasion, or personal pursuit of health or wisdom, but as a form of purification and the innate desire to provide places of refuge and processes of insight for others. Refuge, that Thomas Merton referred to as necessary to make active work “fruitful.”

And I l will commit to learning more about systemic oppression, about my own bias, about what is now referred to as white fragility. I truly don’t understand these things- have not felt it was relative to me yet. Now it is.

All this does not alieve the pain of those actively oppressed, the real suffering of so many, but it is something I can and will sincerely do. From a black president to a racist president to the unknown future. We each have plenty we can do that matters.

While the moment is ripe for change, while the situation is dire for so many, while hope is sincere, it will not be easy. In the words of Thomas Merton again, and in the spirit of the long view, and the contemplative I am, “concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. ” Thomas Merton

When considering what to share from my practice this month, the idea of pace came to mind as a relevant theme.

As I tried to write about it, it became overly complex.  So I am going back to basics and simply sharing some personal thoughts that I hope are useful for you.

Years ago, I read an article by the excellent teacher of the Vedic sciences, Robert Svoboda, regarding the cultivation of Prana.  Prana is the Sanskrit term for subtle energy, similar to the Chinese term Chi.

The article had a wonderful effect on me during an especially difficult period of life.  I felt stuck and thwarted in many ways then, and was undoubtedly being hard on myself.  Why was I so slow?  Why did I have no energy?  These were constant, semi-conscious questions I circulated in my mind.

I share with you the first paragraph of this article and a few reflections about how it helped me and informs me to this day.

Whoever you may be, and wherever you may live, you live your life well when you live it at the right rate. Plow your way through life and life will wear you out; poke your way along and your life will grind to a halt. Find a pace that suits you, though, and amble along it accordingly, and your world will spontaneously level a path for you.

The article goes into some depth about yogic matters that I jive with, but what struck me right away was the possibility that slow was my pace.  That being upset about my pace was perhaps the drain of energy.  That maybe it was time to surrender to a deeper understanding of my rhythm, and to life’s rhythm for me.

This insight paradoxically allowed me to slow down more, to drop down deeper, to rest and rejuvenate, to ask different questions, to hear from my heart, and to follow my heart.

In this period since, about 5 years now, I understand my pace more and I do my daily best to honor it and amble along accordingly.    I don’t expect the world to spontaneously level my path but I do seem to understand more what is meant by such a statement.

Our pace connects us to our heart.  Our heart emanates our unique emotional and spiritual longing.  This is what influences the course of our path.

May you know and honor your pace.  May your heart illuminate your path.

May our practice and our healing be of benefit to the whole world.

Here is a link to the entire article for those that are inspired: Prana

Here are some reflections from my practice and hopefully some inspiration for yours:

This winter and spring I have been concentrating on getting stronger through hiking.  It has felt important as I enter into middle age to not just move more, but to be in nature and to be reminded that my body is a vehicle for connecting with the wilderness.

My asana practice is simple and sweet these days.  I don’t try and get much out of my body- rather I attend to it so it feels good and balanced.  This attitude has been distilled from years of practicing in ways that were not necessarily simple and sweet.

Even though I have always gravitated to gentle styles and found teachers who understood the meditative and spiritual dimension of yoga, I still pressured myself to do more and more.  I imagine I thought that was my duty as a professional yoga teacher.   It took some time to realize I was inflicting pain upon myself rather than resolving it, and that was serving no one!

This is really a lesson regarding the Mind.  I didn’t know I was being aggressive.  I didn’t know I was off track.  My teacher Rama always emphasized a will-less way of progressing and I loved the message.  It just took years to bear fruit and flowers. Perhaps there is much more to come.   Meanwhile, I am pain free, at ease, and in awe with the way my practice has evolved.

This brings me to the concept of Mind/Body that I am playing with lately.  In the new brain science we see more than ever that the mind and body are integral, not distinct.  The mind is the body, the body is the mind.  Awareness and sensitivity are keys to integration, thinking and dissecting are disturbances.  Yogis and Buddhas and Mystics of all stripes have essentially agreed upon this- now there is a modern wave of contemplative science and study that affirms and explains the phenomena of integration.

It is an exciting and exhilarating new way of conceiving of self and human potential.   What does your body tell you?  How does the thinking and judging mind distort the information?  How do we enter into the energy and information of the mind/body, learn from it directly?  How do we translate this integration of being into our lives and world? What might it mean for the future?

In regards to your practice, I hope you have the opportunity to move more and the wisdom to will-less from your body.  I wish you the enjoyment of nature and the opportunity to touch into wilderness.  I pray that your own mind/body journey flowers into good health and spiritual integration.  And that each of our practices aids to the healing of the world.

Blessings and Light, Natasha

Our normal daily life creates a pattern of mental focus that often takes us out of our physical, present moment reality.  Our attention goes away and in many directions, often for long periods of time.  This way of being, while it may seem necessary, productive, and even creative has many limitations.

The primary limitation is that it accentuates the mind/body disconnection- our body is doing one thing, our mind is doing many other things.  This disconnection makes us highly susceptible to physiological stress or sympathetic nervous system arousal.  That means our bodies are revving up to prepare for danger and emergency, its information is based on our conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings, and in most cases there is no danger- the threat and thus the stress is in fact, unnecessary.  This unconscious and unnecessary ‘’revving” of our nervous system agitates, confuses, and exhausts us creating less productivity and more vulnerability to illness and accident.

The secondary limitation of our attention moving around constantly away from the present moment, is that we do not get to live our moments fully.  We in fact feel less because our senses are not activated and our emotions are not integrated into what we are doing.  While this can be a relief sometimes to just “do” life, if this doing prevails we are more prone to over-indulge the senses- which in turn exacerbates physiological stress, and we are easily overwhelmed by our feelings.

With the Mindfulness practices offered below, you can begin to gradually shift your attention back to the present moment reality.  This simple act of harnessing your attention, will help you develop your mind body connection, reduce and manage stress, and bring more beauty and balance to your life.  With practice, you will see that learning to attend to yourself is an act of intelligence and self-worth and that you are better able to attend gracefully to all that is needed in your life.

  1. Be aware of your breath.  Simply notice.  No thinking necessary.
  2. Be aware of your body sensations.  Simply notice.  No thinking necessary.
  3. Move your body mindfully, focusing on the experience of sensation. No thinking necessary.
  4. Shake.  Rattle.  Roll.  Rub.  Hop.  Yawn.  Sigh.  Stomp- whatever connects you to your body now.
  5. Be aware of raw feeling states.  The feeling of yes.  The feeling of no. The feeling of maybe-so.
  6. It doesn’t matter what you feel.  It does matter that you notice how you are feeling.
  7. Notice your thinking, imaging, inner dialogue.  Is it true?  Is it helpful?  Is it skillful?
  8. Notice that awareness- this faculty that can notice- is bigger than thinking.
  9. Sensations, emotions, thoughts drive impulses, actions, behaviors, consequences.
  10. The future is shaped moment by moment- be intentional and notice when you’re not.
  11. No judgment necessary.

Emilia the Bee

Emilia the Bee (エミリア・ザ・ビー Emiria za Bi,) officially known as Emilia Petalia (エミリア・ペタリア Emiria Petaria,) is an anthropomorphic bee and one of skbl17's fan characters. Apiarian by birth, her family migrated to the United Federation in 2010 after a devastating earthquake almost completely destroyed their village. They settled down in the Parkview suburb of Burrsville, becoming next door neighbors to the politically-connected[1] Cayne family. Emilia has been best friends with Jennie for a decade; the pair first met as part of their parents' efforts to get the two out of their insular social bubbles, but thanks in part to a bonding experience involving a hard-to-beat video game, the pair developed a genuine friendship that endures to this day.

After a quick mention of the new Macs and the i7 processor, we play a burst of the them from the Loveboat in honour of PJ Tracy who's enjoying a late honeymoon on a cruise. Then we start out with a Vince Clarke interview in UK free paper Metro, a quick chat about the international public unveiling of the Roland V-Piano in Bristol, next we discuss the Energy-XT small footprint DAW for Mac/PC and Linux and what a good DAW should be.

New Pics

Posted in Uncategorized with tags on July 1, 2009 by sosideways

This morning I put some pics I took of Krystal on a little experimental photoshoot that I did with her last weekend or so.

Basically the idea behind it was that I would use lighting to “wash out” the skin tone to a pale or even white, while still preserving the vibrant, bright red color of the lipstick on her lips.

Initially, my thoughts of the shoot was just to have her wear a hat so that her hair and her eyes would be hidden, with just her lips being the main focal point.

This shoot, however, was just going to be a test shoot so that I can play with the lighting to see how the shots would come out, so I just said screw it, I’ll go ahead and include the eyes and hair and see how they’ll come out.

What ended up coming out was pretty cool, although everything was a bit washed out, some more than others.

To get the look I wanted, I had to go into PS and mess with the levels and contrast.  I really didn’t want to, but I had to do it to get the look I wanted, so I’m going to have to figure out how to get the “finished version” look of those photos without using PS to get it the next time I do the same shoot.

In any case, once the levels and contrast were bumped up, Krystal’s hair and eyes came to life, along with her lips, and the red heels that she put on halfway through the shoot, since she found them laying around the studio.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with what came out, but there’s definitely a lot of things to improve upon.  With a little more time in the studio doing this type of shots, I’m sure I can come up with something awesome without having to use PS to do the majority of the work.

Hope you all enjoy the pics.

The “Long Post” That Isn’t Long, Finally Here!

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on August 3, 2012 by sosideways

So I was gonna do a write up about the clutch + flywheel install on my car, but there are many out there, and to be honest I don’t feel like doing a write up, which is why it took so long for the “long post” that never happened.

Anyway, out came the old OEM flywheel and the SPEC Stage 3 6-puck clutch from circa 2003, and the new Exedy chromoly flywheel and Exedy Stage 2 clutch went on.

Hands down, the Exedy Stage 2 feels better than the SPEC in every single way. I will never buy another SPEC clutch again.

The Steep Canyon Rangers celebrate the music of the Old North State.

By Wiley Cash   •   Photograph by Mallory Cash

What do you do after spending several weeks playing sold-out shows across Australia, some of them with Steve Martin and Martin Short? If you are the Steep Canyon Rangers, you come back to North Carolina and play a lunchtime show inside a strip-mall record store in Raleigh. If you are the Steep Canyon Rangers, you even carry your own equipment through the front door and snake your way through the crowd on the way to the stage.

There were no crowds when I arrived nearly an hour or so before the noon show on a chilly Wednesday in early December. The Steep Canyon Rangers had just released their latest album, North Carolina Songbook, which they had recorded live at Merlefest in April. The album is a celebration of North Carolina music, featuring the band’s renditions of the work of some of North Carolina’s most foundational voices, including Thelonious Monk, Doc Watson, Elizabeth Cotton and James Taylor. The album was released on the Friday after Thanksgiving, a day that many music lovers have come to revere as national Record Store Day Black Friday. In support of the album, the Rangers had decided to play record stores, starting with Schoolkids Records in Raleigh.

If you want to feel uncool, I invite you to visit an independent record store that sits a stone’s throw from a university campus.

“VIPs only down front,” says the record-store manager from behind the bar. I call it a bar, because while it is a counter where you can pay for records and merchandise, it is also a bar in that beer is served from behind it.

“I’m friends with the band,” I say. He knits his brows as if he has heard this hundreds of times over the years from lame dads like me. But it is the truth. I went to college with mandolin player Mike Guggino, and I have written about the band and gotten to know them over the years.

I decide to try another tack. “I’m with the media,” I say, which is also true. After all, you are right now reading the media story I wrote, but this was not enough for the manager.

“You have to purchase an album to be a VIP,” he says.

“That’s it?” I ask. “I was going to do that anyway.”

“Great,” he says, not smiling. “You can be a VIP.”

As the clock crawls closer to noon, the store begins to fill to capacity with a mixed crowd that ranges from college students to retirees. Someone has ordered pizza. Beers are being passed from the bar back through the crowd.

“Do a lot of bands play here?” a middle-aged woman asks the manager.

“A couple times a month,” he says. He looks around. “But nothing like this.”

I hear someone say my name, and I turn to find Graham Sharp, one of the band’s vocalists, carrying his guitar case and pushing through the crowd. I say hello to him and pray that the record-store manager has seen us greet one another by name.

The rest of the band streams in behind Sharp, each of them carrying an assortment of instruments. The band takes the small stage, nearly filling it. The room is warm and pleasant; everyone clearly happy to be out of the office or skipping class in favor of live music from one of North Carolina’s most famous bands.

“Hey, y’all,” Sharp says to the audience. “These are songs we recorded at Merlefest.” The crowd cheers at the mention of the iconic festival. “But we haven’t played them since April.”

“We relearned them on the way here,” says lead vocalist Woody Platt to the audience’s laughter. And then the band is off into a rollicking version of Charlie Poole’s “Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down,” Platt’s rich baritone playing a wonderful historical opposite to Poole’s higher pitch.

The event soon takes on the feel of a college keg party, a feel that is intimately familiar to the Steep Canyon Rangers. The band was co-founded by Sharp and Platt at UNC Chapel Hill in the late ’90s, when both were undergraduates. They released their first album in 2001, and they have released 13 albums since then, a few in collaboration with Steve Martin.

“This new album is a homecoming for us,” Platt later tells the audience. “We released our first record with Yep Roc Records, and that’s who’s just released North Carolina Songbook.”

And what a homecoming. The album is not only a celebration of famous North Carolina musicians and their music; it is also a testament to the Steep Canyon Rangers’ ability to blend and bend genres and styles while making a cover song seem like their own.

The band moves through gorgeous covers of Thelonious Monk’s “Blue Monk,” Tommy Jarrell’s “The Drunken Hiccups,” Ola Belle Reed’s “I’ve Endured,” Elizabeth Cotten’s “Shake Sugaree,” closing out the set with the state’s beloved James Taylor’s “Sweet Baby James,” sung by bassist Barrett Smith, a longtime friend of the band who is the newest addition.

At the close of the show, Platt sets down his guitar and tells the audience that the band will hang around for a little “shake and howdy,” but they have to get over to Chapel Hill for a mic check. They are singing the national anthem at the Dean Dome before tonight’s Tar Heels game against Ohio State. A homecoming indeed, but while so much has changed for the Steep Canyon Rangers, shows like the one at the record store prove that so little about them has. SP

Arts Are Essential | What’s Happening in Arts & Entertainment May 14 – 21

PHOTO: Craig Schwartz | South Pasadena News | The cast of Alice in Wonderland at A Noise Within

A Noise Within will release its second high-quality film of a stage production this spring: “Alice in Wonderland”, remounting the beloved production from Spring 2020—written by Eva Le Gallienne and Florida Friebus and originally directed and conceived by Stephanie Shroyer. ‘Alice in Wonderland’ will be available from May 27 – June 20 with a special opening night Zoom afterparty with the artists for people who purchase May 27 tickets. From the comfort and safety of home, audiences can enjoy the same artistry and production elements from ANW’s live performances.

Andressa Cordeiro joined the production as the Director of Photography to ensure a visually compelling take on the modern adaptation of a classic story. The stellar cast from the Spring 2020 production of Alice in Wonderland returns to delight audiences who missed Carroll’s classic in its short run and re-enchant those who are excited to see it again.

Crash through the looking-glass with Alice on her zany adventure to an upside-down magical dreamland where imagination defies reality and madness makes logic. Weaving a whimsical poem of hilarious and colorful eccentrics, Lewis Carroll’s fractured fairy tale creates a prism through which we can again experience the mystery and effervescent wonder of growing up. Tickets are $25 for individuals and $40 for a family. Opening night tickets with a Zoom afterparty with the artists are $50 for individuals and $75 for families. Tickets are available at

In some very exciting news for Fremont Centre Theatre and its resident company Young Stars Theatre, for the first time in 15 months, they will have a live show on the YST stage! YST is bringing “The Importance of Being Earnest” to the live stage beginning June 4th. After more than a year of fighting hard just to keep the possibility alive, YST sees a pinpoint of light at the end of the tunnel. As guidelines and restrictions have loosened with vaccinations, YST can finally put a live cast on stage in front of a very limited live audience under specific guidelines.

“We’ve been waiting for this for so long”, says Gloria Bennett, YST producer. “I get up every morning and read pages and pages of new guidelines and projections, and we can finally present a live show on stage again.  I’m so excited!”

YST never really stopped producing theatre throughout the last year, with five productions in all, either pre-recording and editing for a live stream, or live productions via Zoom with all actors at their remote locations. Jack, Gloria’s husband and YST Artistic Director says “It was certainly better than nothing, and much more than would have even really been possible even 10 years ago, so we are very thankful for that. That said, nothing beats being back on a live stage with live actors!”

YST is returning to the live stage with the Oscar Wilde classic comedy and a mostly adult cast.  “We are thrilled with the actors we got to join us for this kind of historic moment. We’d be excited – even if it weren’t a comeback for a silent stage – to present this level of a show, but the moment makes it all the more sweet!” says Jack, who is also directing.

Covid protocols will be in place, and per current guidelines, live attendees will be asked to show proof of vaccination or negative Covid test within 48 hours of admission. All actors will be fully vaccinated and perform without masks. For opening night, YST is also going to livestream the performance in a multi-camera broadcast live from stage, and if any shows sell out in advance, they will offer those as livestreams as well.

“The title ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ has a special meaning this time around,” says Jack, who has directed the show on two other occasions. “We have been true to ourselves and our passion this past year, and we’re still here! Sometimes, I almost can’t believe it myself.” Tickets are available on their website

Grey Goo Nanotechnology Apocalypse: Nanobots of COVID Vaccine might replicate & increase exponentially in your body

Nanobots including mRNA and graphene hydrogel in COVID vaccine might play the scenario of Grey Goo. Those nanobots have been created by DARPA. They are militarized and weaponized nanobots. They replicate themselves and increase in your body.

70 million atoms of nanobots with power source (lithium) and manipulator arms that can move 1cm per second performing a million atomic pick in place operations. For the fuel, they would be using anything available in your body.

Single nanobot can replicate every 100 second.

How long “death by Grey Goo” will take?

Nanotechnology =

In theory, replicating nano-machines could spiral out of control very quickly.

In their scenario, the end of this world by nanobot vaccine is 20 months later.

How Can Goldstein Be So Obtuse on DOMA?

Aaron’s poor attempt to justify himself is a prime example of changing the subject to avoid admitting that one is factually wrong. Again, I do not fault his opinion (although I disagree with it); I fault his deeply dishonest description of what the Defense of Marriage Act does. Here is the utterly bizarre thing that he wrote in his most recent blog post:

I simply asked why the federal government is in the business of defending marriage when it is a matter best settled at the state level whether through the legislative process (as is currently happening in Maryland) or through referenda (as was the case in Maine in November 2009).

The entire point of DOMA (as pertains to the federalism question) is to make sure that state referenda (as in Maine) or statutes cannot be overriden by the actions of another state. It is specifically to protect state action that DOMA was passed. Without DOMA, Maine’s referendum could effectively be overriden by the Supreme Court of Vermont. DOMA says that for purposes of Maine law, or Louisiana law, or whatever, the definition of marriage of Maine or Louisiana cannot be superseded by the definition of marriage in another state. If Vermont wants to “marry” a homosexual couple, Maine would therefore not be forced to provide spousal benefits to that couple if the couple moved to Maine — specifically because Maine law requires otherwise.

So what if Bob Barr called DOMA “one-way federalism.” One-way federalism is better than no federalism. Without DOMA, state and local decision-making would be nil. In fact, the decisions of 49 states could be superseded by the decision of one state to allow such “marriages.” Yes, Barr made the assertion that the federal definition of marriage, for federal law, somehow is used as s cudgel against state recognition of homosexual “marriages.” It is a strange and baseless assertion. How, pray tell, could it do so? Has any court in the land gone so far as to negate a state’s attempt to recognize such unions because state recognition would somehow affect federal Social Security rights? Of course not. It’s ludicrous. Barr gives no examples. Earlier in his essay, though, he wrote this:

Contrary to the wishes of a number of my Republican colleagues, I crafted the legislation so it wasn’t a hammer the federal government could use to force states to recognize only unions between a man and a woman. Congress deliberately chose not to establish a single, nationwide definition of marriage. [My Italics added.]

By the plain legislative language of DOMA, the federal government is not interfering with the right of states to define marriage however they want to. It is for precisely that reason, in fact, that some social conservatives believe DOMA is too weak: They want a constitutional amendment, not just a statute, that does define marriage nationwide, for all purposes, as being an arrangement only between a man and a woman. If DOMA had attempted such a thing, Goldstein would have a valid argument against it on federalism grounds. But it doesn’t, and he doesn’t. His argument is intellectually dishonest, or at least awfully close to being so.

Finally, as a side note, Goldstein is stretching a point to say that Obama has “precedent on his side” in choosing not to defend a duly passed law. If his point is that a president is not legally obligated to defend every law, he is technically right. Most conservatives angry with his DOMA decision have acknowledged as much. In unusual circumstances — especially when a law intereferes with a president’s Article 2 powers, especially pertaining to foreign affairs — a president is not bound to defend a law IN COURT that he finds obviously unconstitutional. But the usual presumption is in favor, strongly in favor, of defending duly passed laws. The exceptions prove the rule. One exception is if the courts themselves already have ruled in the same way that the president sees it. In the example Goldstein cited, the first Bush administration noted that almost identical laws already had been struck down twice by the courts. The courts, in sum, were on Bush’s side. Compare that to Obama’s DOMA decision, in which his own main constitutional argument has been struck down by 11 separate circuit courts of appeal, while DOMA’s underlying constitutional standard of review has been upheld. In other words, Bush had both his own judgment and legal precedent on his side, on a bill never actually signed into law by any president. So it was two branches of government against Congress. Obama, on the other hand, is a sole actor against the courts and against a law not only passed by Congress but signed into law by a president — and a president of his own party at that. There is no “obvious” example here of a bill’s provisions being unconstitutional — which is what is usually required for a president to abandon its defense. Instead, there is a president asserting a legal position never upheld, as far as I know, by any appellate court in the land, namely that sexual orientation is to be protected under a legal standard of “strict scrutiny.”

In short, the Bush example is in no way representative of the situation with Obama and DOMA. As former DoJ Civil Division official, former Cheney counsel Shannen Coffin told The Washington Times the other day, Obama’s new position is nothing more than “politics dressed up as constitutional law.” (It is an unfortunate state of affairs in this age of political correctness that to say “cross-dressed,” which would be more accurate an analogy completely apart from any suggestions of sexual orientation, would be unacceptable among the liberal intelligentsia because they would say it is a slur. Bosh.)

Obama’s decision is not just that it puts him on the wrong side of the public, the courts, and millennia of human history. It also puts forth a constitutional argument that would be highly dangerous to textualist/originalist jurisprudence if the Supreme Court actually adopted it. Its ramification could spread well beyond the “marriage” context and be used as, yes, a cudgel not just against any state, such as Maine, that would choose not to recognize same-sex marriages (talk about harming federalism!), but it also could be used as a precedent for courts to further insert themselves into state affairs on any number of other fronts.

I’m not just worried about traditional marriage; I’m worried about our constitutional order. So should every conservative, including homosexual ones.

The Persistent Power of 1 Percent

John C. Wright
September 22, 2016

Sasakawa USA Forum Issue No. 4

The Persistent Power of 1 Percent

How an informal policy changed Pacific regional power dynamics

Among the choices that have complicated Japanese defense, one of the most consequential has been Japan’s self-imposed limit on national defense spending. Issued in 1976 and abolished in 1987, the impact of Japan’s decision to limit military spending to 1 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) is still felt today. The decision’s roots can be found within a mix of issues, including antiwar sentiment, Cold War strategy, economic recovery imperatives, the Ministry of Finance’s power of the purse, and individual personalities. Although it was never enacted into law, the policy’s impacts on a rising Asia in the twenty-first century reflect defense policies that could have been; roads not taken that have changed the region drastically, for better or worse. By examining Japan’s decision to impose a 1 percent limit on its own military spending, we can better understand current Asia-Pacific regional defense arrangements.

CFB Week 14 Odds, Predictions, and Schedule

CFB Week 14 means it’s Rivalry Week, and as usual this weekend’s schedule is jam packed with intense, meaningful matchups. Looking ahead to the biggest games of Week 14, we’re examining odds and offering predictions.

So buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

CFB Week 14 schedule

Starting Friday night in Memphis, college football fans will be treated to six huge games in Week 14. Here’s a look at the schedule, along with television information, for the top games.

No. 19 Cincinnati vs. No. 18 MemphisFRI3:30 pmABC
No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 13 MichiganSAT12:00 pmFOX
No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 15 AuburnSAT3:30 pmCBS
No. 12 Wisconsin vs. No. 8 MinnesotaSAT3:30 pmABC
Texas A&M vs. No. 2 LSUSAT7:00 pmESPN
No. 7 Oklahoma vs. No. 21 Oklahoma StateSAT8:00 pmFOX

CFB Week 14 odds

The point spreads for these big games vary. Odds for the Alabama-Auburn and Wisconsin-Minnesota games are extremely tight. Meanwhile, the four other huge games in CFB Week 14 are expected to be more one-sided.

  • Cincinnati vs. Memphis (-11)
  • Ohio State (-8.5) vs. Michigan
  • Alabama (-3.5) vs. Auburn
  • Wisconsin (-2.5) vs. Minnesota
  • Texas A&M vs. LSU (-16.5)
  • Oklahoma (-13.5) vs. Oklahoma State

CFB Week 14 predictions

Now it’s time to take a closer look at each game and offer up some CFB Week 14 predictions.

Cincinnati vs. Memphis

Friday night delight: This game is a pretty big deal for these AAC rivals. The winner will likely end up hosting the AAC Championship Game. Not to mention it will also be the highest-ranked Group of Five team heading into conference championship weekend.

It’s a classic case of strength-versus-strength as Cincinnati’s stout defense looks to slow down Memphis’ high-powered offense. Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder may not play, however, after getting hurt against South Florida two weeks back.

Prediction: Going with the Tigers to win straight-up at home, but taking Cincinnati against the spread.

Ohio State vs. Michigan

Harbaugh’s bane: The Ohio State Buckeyes have beaten Michigan seven straight times, and Harbaugh has obviously lost every time he’s gone against them. With the Buckeyes looking like arguably the best team in the nation this year, it’s hardly surprising Michigan is a home dog.

The Wolverines come into this game on a nice hot streak, having won four straight. But Ohio State is perfect this year, and is coming off an impressive win over Penn State last Saturday.

This game comes down to which quarterback I trust in clutch situations. Hint: It’s not Shea Patterson.

Prediction: Taking Ohio State straight up, and against the spread.

Alabama vs. Auburn

The Iron Bowl: An annual classic between SEC rivals, this year’s version holds significant value to Alabama, which won’t get a chance to hang an SEC title banner this winter, having already been eliminated from the title game.

Auburn is very good defensively. If Tua Tagovailoa had been healthy for this game, we wouldn’t even think twice about Alabama’s offense handling it, though. With Mac Jones under center, the Crimson Tide just aren’t nearly as dynamic. So this is going to be a fascinating game to watch unfold. Another loss for ‘Bama would end any talk of the College Football Playoff, to be sure.

Prediction: Taking Auburn to win straight up.

Wisconsin vs. Minnesota

Paul Bunyan’s Axe: This is a huge game. The winner will head to the Big Ten Championship Game. Should Minnesota beat Wisconsin at home Saturday, then it would have a chance to shock the world once again in the title game against Ohio State, and potentially slip into the College Football Playoff.

The battle between Tanner Morgan and his trio of dynamic receivers going up against Wisconsin’s sixth-ranked pass defense will almost solely determine the winner of this game. That is, unless Jonathan Taylor has a legendary game on the ground and the Badgers dominate from start to finish.

Prediction: Taking Minnesota to win straight up, and to cover.

Texas A&M vs. LSU

Can TAMU do it again? The last time these programs clashed it ended up going seven overtime periods with the Aggies coming out ahead, 74-72.

Things are a bit different in 2019. The Tigers are the top team in the nation, led by Heisman favorite Joe Burrow, who has been practically perfect this year. It’s also worth pointing out that the Aggies have lost every big game they’ve been in this year, including last weekend against Georgia.

Prediction: Taking LSU to win straight up, and cover.

Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State

The Bedlam Series is always a ton of fun: High scores and plenty of offense is historically what this rivalry produces. Along with a ton of Sooners wins. Oklahoma has won four straight against Oklahoma State, and 14 of the last 16.

With Jalen Hurts doing magic almost every week for Tom Herman’s Sooners, it’s hard to imagine the Cowboys will break this streak in 2019. Though, if Oklahoma’s defense continues to make key mistakes, Chuba Hubbard could run wild and lead an epic upset.

Prediction: Taking Sooners to win, but Oklahoma State to cover.

Heated Topics of the Week – Glance at CovID-19, Weekly Story

Glance at CovID-19

Updated on June 20, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases globally has now passed the 8.6 million mark while the total number of deaths worldwide stands at 460,066. Much of the increase in new cases has been driven by Brazil, which has now surpassed the US in terms of new daily infections. According to Brazilian sanitary ministry, the new infection cases in the past 24 hours is the highest number of confirmed cases in a single day. By far, its number of confirmed cases makes it the second country in the world after the United States to have more than 1 million confirmed cases.

(NCHC Dashboard)

The overall situation is still dissatisfactory and the break point is on the long way. From the continental point of view, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America are those who are creeping up their infections cases. By contrast, middle East and North America made new cases stay relatively stable this week.

Weekly Story-One per cent of humanity is displaced

(UNHCR /Vincent Tremeau)

The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, released The UNHCR annual Global Trends report that shows displaced figures reached 79.5 million in 2019, with 10 million people fleeing in the past year alone. Actually at least 100 million people, equal to the total population of Egypt, were forced to flee their homes during the last 10 years, seeking refuge either within or outside the borders of their country. The proportion of the world’s population who were displaced continued to rise. One per cent of the world’s population – or 1 in 97 people – is now forcibly displaced. This compares with 1:159 in 2010 and 1:174 in 2005 as the increase in the world’s forcibly displaced population continued to outpace global population growth.

June 20 is World Refugee Day. On this day, we are calling for more attention to global displacement and we pledge to do everything in our power to end the conflict and persecution that drive these appalling numbers as social citizens.

Acceleration problem sometimes you put in trouble. There are some reasons why your vehicle is not Accelerating properly. The vehicle may be experiencing trouble with the fuel or emissions system. Fortunately, some of the causes are actually minor and possibly to fix it easily. A vehicle that has trouble accelerating should be repaired immediately as you may be placing yourself in harm’s way, especially, when driving up a steep hill or when quickly trying to accelerate into fast moving traffic. Then, read this to find out solutions.

Malfunctioned MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor

The MAF (mass air flow) Senor is located and attached to the inlet air cleaner and measures the air flowing into the engine air intake system. A bad MAF (mass air flow) sensor could send the incorrect data to the ECU, when calculating the air to fuel mixture. A symptom of MAF (mass air flow) Sensor malfunction is vehicle that won’t accelerate correctly.

Dirty Fuel Filter

Perhaps another reason is the fuel filter. The fuel filter can collect sludge that a fuel comes from the fuel tank. Dirt makes the fuel heavy, making it unable to move freely from the tank to the engine. So, vehicle not accelerating like it’s supposed to when required to do so. It is a simple problem to resolve. You have to replace the fuel filter as soon as possible with a new one to solve this issue.

Dirty Air Filters

Vehicle takes in air and passes it into the engine through the air filter. This filter removes dirt, debris and other contaminants from the air to ensure clean air is entering the engine for combustion. When your vehicle air filter is dirty, your cylinders and oil will both be subject to contamination from dirt particles in the air. If an air filter is clogged, the engine will not have enough air to create the correct ratio of air and fuel resulting in slow acceleration. Better replace the air filter as soon as possible. It ensures that your vehicle engine is only receiving clean, fresh air that will allow it to run at its best.

Poor acceleration doesn’t end when resolved this problems. These are the things to check first and cheapest way to improve your vehicle’s acceleration at home.  If you’re not comfortable troubleshooting a vehicle that won’t accelerate should be meet your technician immediately.

Thank you.

Reserved our room like always every year this time we’ll this time they charged my card 298.00 for a 138.00 room they lied to me and said they don’t hold money that they just charge for the room well that is a lie do not use your bank card or debit card to book a room the manager was really nice he spoke with me and couldn’t understand himself why it did that but nevertheless he wrote me a paper and my bank disputed it and I got the money back but still they should tell people so that you can be prepared for that money to come off the room was nice and big the pool is really really small but clean sad they took out the hot tub but oh well that will be our last time staying there ????

Good Hotel except...

by 53Degrees82

I am very pleased with this hotel. It has really nice rooms that are clean. The hotel is adjacent to a bunch of great restaurants. The front desk was always helpful and courteous. If you are expecting a decent breakfast you will be disappointed. I had better eggs in the middle of Iraq and those eggs were bad. The sausage either links or patties had hard pieces in them. The coffee when they did have it was undrinkable. I say when they did have it because twice I came down in the morning and they had run out.

Hazelnut Crumb Coffee Cake

This was a plain brunch cake that I played around with until I came up with this recipe. My husband says it tastes like a hot fudge sundae.
