After these things I saw another angel descending out of the heaven, having great authority: and the earth was lightened with his glory.
because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have been enriched through the might of her luxury.
for her sins have been heaped on one another up to the heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses.
Recompense her even as she has recompensed; and double [to her] double, according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix to her double.
for this reason in one day shall her plagues come, death and grief and famine, and she shall be burnt with fire; for strong [is the] Lord God who has judged her.
standing afar off, through fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour thy judgment is come.
and cinnamon, and amomum, and incense, and unguent, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies, and souls of men.
And the ripe fruits which were the lust of thy soul have departed from thee, and all fair and splendid things have perished from thee, and they shall not find them any more at all.
saying, Woe, woe, the great city, which [was] clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls!
and cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city] is like to the great city?
and cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and grieving, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all that had ships in the sea were enriched through her costliness! for in one hour she has been made desolate.
Rejoice over her, heaven, and [ye] saints and apostles and prophets; for God has judged your judgment upon her.
and light of lamp shall shine no more at all in thee, and voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery have all the nations been deceived.
And in her was found [the] blood of prophets and saints, and of all the slain upon the earth.
for true and righteous [are] his judgments; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her hand.
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah.
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his bondmen, [and] ye that fear him, small and great.
And I heard as a voice of a great crowd, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah, for [the] Lord our God the Almighty has taken to himself kingly power.
Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.
And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright [and] pure; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.
And he says to me, Write, Blessed [are] they who are called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true words of God.
And I fell before his feet to do him homage. And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God. For the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.
And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and one sitting on it, [called] Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness.
and [he is] clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which [are] in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp [two-edged] sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
And he has upon his garment, and upon his thigh, a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.
that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiliarchs, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses and of those that sit upon them, and flesh of all, both free and bond, and small and great.
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.
and the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which goes out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.
and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time.
Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
and shall go out to deceive the nations which [are] in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: and fire came down [from God] out of the heaven and devoured them.
And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them.
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [that] of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works.
And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.
And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.
He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.
But to the fearful and unbelieving, [and sinners], and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [is] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
On [the] east three gates; and on [the] north three gates; and on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [as] a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
And the city lies four-square, and its length [is] as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed -- twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.
And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four cubits, [a] man's measure, that is, [the] angel's.
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.
And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.
And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.
And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.
And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.
And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who [are] written in the book of life of the Lamb.
And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, [the] tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.
and they shall see his face; and his name [is] on their foreheads.
And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of [the] sun; for [the] Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages.
And he said to me, These words [are] faithful and true; and [the] Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass.
And behold, I come quickly. Blessed [is] he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
And I, John, [was] he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.
And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage to God.
And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near.
Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.
*I* [am] the Alpha and the Omega, [the] first and [the] last, the beginning and the end.
Blessed [are] they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.
*I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright [and] morning star.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that will, let him take [the] water of life freely.
And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
He that testifies these things says, Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all the saints.

Special performance Sat. Oct. 21 at 6PM + 8PM :: Multitudes in B Major - a new dance work.
Like the ability of a memory to shift and be defined by the present, the imagery in The Echoing Green is perpetually in flux, culled from the artist’s mind but defined in the eye of the viewer. In a synthesis of inner and outer worlds, as landscapes dissolve into dreamscapes, the work in this exhibition concerns natural spaces both transitional and indefinable, remembered and imagined, of multiple dimensionality and time.
In a Euclidean language, arcs of neon materialize from cement cylinders. The triangle, the semicircle and the rectangle, paired with geode fragments, act as abstracted symbols of imaginary places – combining a minimalist vocabulary with narrative. These mini monuments stand only inches tall yet have the ability to teleport. Through the sculpture’s geometric forms, you can take in an entire universe. Ruiz’s imagery originates in the exploration of fictional landscapes, informed largely by a love of science fiction. Her objects ultimately work to visually articulate an emotional state of mind, by applying her intimate understanding of neon technology with mathematical acuteness.
Ruiz breaks with geometric order and embraces the natural world in her vividly hued plexiglass pools that call to mind magical aquatic bodies. When placed on the wall, these neon-rimmed Wells become wormholes or portals to other dimensions of time and place. Their emitted light throws color across the walls of the room, bathing faces, bodies and space. The appearance of light takes on a material presence, thus demanding not only a visual but also physical response. Equally inviting as it is enveloping, the neon draws the viewer in to know what is beyond the work’s reflective visage.
The tactility and complexity of Tallmadge’s all-over, multimedia surfaces dissolve into an atmospheric sublime. Suggesting infinite states of mind and feeling, a viewing of one of Tallmadge’s sprawling works can be like plunging into a cloud, or being taken in by an exploding star. It is abstraction aestheticized and it is transcendent and romantic.
Tallmadge expands the vocabulary of painting while simultaneously subverting it. Her paintings engage the history of Formalism – most notably the point-of-view of color field painting – and the politics of beauty and surface. Utilizing materials such as mica, silver leaf and glitter, Tallmadge sets a dialogue between external sources in urban and natural environments with a more internal process of making. The smaller-scale works read as artifacts of a geological time. At once speaking to something earthly – recalling processes of growth and decay – they are also completely otherworldly, lending an exquisite duality.
The exhibition shifts from maximalist back to minimalist with Romero’s visual lexicon of earthly forms. In a pursuit to extract from nature in its truest form, as one experiences it, Romero pulls from the imprints made on the psyche – both visual and visceral – through her hours steeped in the natural landscape. [Romero’s innate understanding of organic forms is furthered by her studies in environmental science, with a specialization in sustainable agriculture.] Here, Romero’s abstracted, organoid forms are reduced to their essence by an automated stream of consciousness, resulting in beautifully unworked, floating compositions.
When viewed as a series, the works on paper echo the acute variability of nature’s own formal language - its index of simplified forms, generated by means of infinite variation. What is also discretely distinct is nature’s mysterious element of calm.
At once emphatically flat while implying unbounded, limitless space, Bania’s shifting transparant planes delve into the spatial possibilities of the picture plane. Every element is exactly where it has to be, not where it happens to be, to create interplays of spatial flux. The works explore the abstract geographies that we navigate, in waking hours and in dream. Each painting begins as a field of space from which an environment arises. As the space is acted upon, a conversation ensues between materiality and immateriality, emptiness and fullness, stillness and movement, objects seen and energy felt. The compositions that emerge are built from these contrasting forces.

Easy peasy lemon squeezie !
Short of time but want to make a pud for a Saturday supper or Sunday lunch? This can be quickly put together and left in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Brush a 23 cm (9 inch) springform tin with a little vegetable oil.
Crush the biscuits in a large plastic bag with a rolling pin until fine crumbs.
Heat the butter and syrup in a saucepan until the butter has just melted.
Take off the heat and stir in the biscuits until coated in the butter then tip into the tin and press into an even layer over the base.
Whip the cream in a large bowl until it forms soft swirls.
Gradually whisk in the condensed milk, add the lemon rind then gradually whisk in the lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and thick.
Pour into the tin, spread into any even layer then chill for 3-4 hours.
To make the sauce mix the cornflour and water together in the base of a small saucepan, add the sugar and blueberries and cook for 4-5 minutes over a gentle heat, stirring until the juices run from the blueberries and the sauce thickens.

2016: Obama’s America – How you can make lies fit your cause | "I am linked therefore I am"
It was hard to listen to conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza interviewd by Guy Raz of All things Concidered at NPR but it is worth the suffering because you also learn alot about people like D’Souza who made the film 2016: Obama’s America which opened in just one theater in Houston but now is showing in many theatres around the US. The film proposes that President Obama is weakening the country — deliberately.
In another interview Cenk Uygur destroys D’Souza.
Yes the WORST thing you can do is preading the wealth! Isn’t it?

This video wasn’t even funny, but as I’m 1) a UW fan and 2) a Seahawks fan I’m posting it. Gotta think he’s getting out of USC right as it’s about to get hard what with the NCAA finally investigating all their alleged recruiting violations. Umm….to bring it somewhat on snow topic I’d say if you were buried in an avy Pete Carroll wouldn’t stop to dig you out but just ride by making pow turns.
OK, and one snow vid to keep it on topic. Ski vid this time that my buddy Alex sent last night (side photochop content on that pic of him w/ the chompers showing anybody?). The line doesn’t look anymore gnar then most vids you see, but the commentary by the skier Joe Vallone made the vid.
6 years of waiting till this line was right, I had a one day window and it all came together, Didn’t set out to do it but it was just one of those days were everything was right and if you snooze you loose, the worst part was post holing up there. After watching the line and the exit all year, I was totally fooled when in the line as to what the exit would be, Very exciting and exhilarating , the run is blind until the exit, every role in the line keeps you wondering if you are were you want to be. Steeper than it looks, three years ago someone from France skied this line and the whole thing slabbed and killed him at the first role. You want to do your homework for these. The Frenchies used to not have the air at the bottom and it used to snow enough to ski right through it. The air is probably 3 times as far out is it is down to clear the slab. I wanted to do it again, but the next day it was too wind loaded and the day after that stripped and gone for the season. I hate waiting for snow to stick to rock slabs, but this one was worth it. Pretty wild. Enjoy and come visit me in La Grave if you like what you see!!!
I guess I’m just totally amazing.
the 2nd vid, tomorrow i’m going to post your vid from that same line to stoke people out and show them how a REAL man does it!
I’m sure it will be totally amazing.

The Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe's "A Motown Christmas" - the best place to get in the holiday spirit!
The Christmas season is in full swing, and the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe has outdone itself once again with this year’s “A Motown Christmas.” When performed in 2015, I really enjoyed the show, which was a nice balance of a mini-history lesson of the significance of the Motown sound in our musical lexicon and the Christmas spirit. This year’s production was largely the same as in 2015, but the performance felt entirely fresh and new.

We are cruising March 13 and are staying at the Hyatt Place 17th St Convention Plaza. It is very close to the port and we have a late arriving flight. Normally we arrive into FLL early so we stay at the Bahia Mar right on Seabreeze Blvd and Ft Lauderdale beach. We will be staying here for an extra night at the end of our cruise. I used booking.com for Hyatt Place. It was pricey, but thankful to have a room at spring break!
I'm curious too. I am a crossfit junkie and want to keep up with it on the ship. My trainer did show me how to use a dumbbell in place of a kettle bell. A lot of the kettle bell exercises can be converted in a pinch.
Yep, it's happened twice. Last spring we were on the Oasis and our daughter went to the Kids Club. I picked her up and she said there were two kids from her school in the club. Sure enough.....they were a couple of years older than her, but we ran into the parents later on in the cruise. The other time we were on an excursion in Nassau to the Blue Lagoon. We heard someone shouting my husbands name. It was a long time friend that had made a last minute trip to Atlantis and was on the ferry to the dolphin encounter with us. They weren't on the ship with us, but was still weird running into them on a ship excursion. It definitly is a small world.
Just booked Allure of the Seas, stateroom mistake?
Hi there! We are sailing with you on the Allure. We have a 9 year old daughter. This will be cruise number 12 for us and we have had a variety of staterooms in a lot of locations. The only time we have ever heard anything is when our neighbors left their balcony door open most of the cruise and when they would open the stateroom door a huge wind tunnel would SLAM the door. It was LOUD and you could feel it. We've sailed on the Freedom class twice and while it is a lovely ship we are sold on Allure/Oasis. Lots for all to do and we thought the kids club was amazing. I used to spend a lot of time fretting about cabin cat, location...etc. I don't anymore. We just go and have fun. Stop by the roll call thread....haven't seen anyone my daughters age sailing.
We do have more than 2. Our 10 yr old daughter will be with us. I noted that on the reservation form and it still offered the Gty? Hmmm... Going to make a call.
We've been booked on the Allure for March '14 since January. I've been checking once a week or so for a price drop and just noticed a Stateroom with Balcony Gty that just opened. This wasn't even an option back in Jan. Does it include any balcony....like Central Park, Boardwalk or ocean view? We currently have a Boardwalk cabin booked but for a couple $100 less we could get a Gty. But, I only will switch if its an OV. Thanks!
I have pretty severe motion sickness issues. Occasionally I deal with vertigo. Bonine is amazing, I even use it at Disney World so I can ride everything with my family. I start a day before the cruise and I also continue for several days after we disembark. I tend to get the sickest while getting my land legs back.
Oasis Review w/tons of pics 3/24-3/31-closest thing ever to a perfect cruise!!
Corn dogs and chicken nuggets available at the boardwalk bar. There is a little grill area as you are approaching the aqua theater. Snow cones were not out all of the time, but we grabbed some one evening before we went to watch Jack and Jill on the big screen.
Loving your review! We were getting off Oasis the day you were boarding. Your comment about the evening Cafe Promenade attendant was right on. I stopped by mid afternoon to get my daughter a sandwich. Later in the evening my husband and I stopped in for a sandwich and the same girl was working both times. I said to her she was working a long day and she told me to fill out the comment card and let her boss know that she is working far too many hours. Wow....never had anyone say that before! I too am not a show kind of girl but I loved both Aqua theater shows and also the ice show. We missed our reserved late night comedy show so we went down about an hour early one night to wait in line....we got in! It was a great show. I loved the make your own salad in the Park Cafe. I would get tomatoes, mozzarella, croutons and balsamic....delish. DH loved the breakfast sandwiches. My DD, 8 loved the kids club. The 2nd day at sea she wanted to go so we checked her in at 1:30. Kept going back and checking on her and she didn't want to leave. We finally dragged her out at 11pm! Nice little day for hubby and I. Looking forward to more...enjoying it!
Oasis deck 12 cabin dwellers, your opinion?
We are in cabin 12324. I did read about the public balcony at the end of our hall. Sounds like it would be a nice place to see the shows if we don't have a reservation. To be honest, I really don't care where the cabin is as long as I'm not in a dark cave of an inside room! I get so disoriented without sunlight.
We are sailing on the Oasis 3/17. Looked online today to see if any cabins had opened up and were a reasonable upgrade fee from our inside on deck 7. $500 got us moved from inside deck 7 to a D3....superior oceanview w/balcony on deck 12. While I'm very excited about the upgrade I am a little nervous about the location. It is third from the most aft cabin. That's great for using the pools, Windjammer, etc, but so far away from the dining rooms and promenade. Any advice or opinions?
We are doing the opposite.....flying to FLL, cruising on the Oasis then renting a car and driving to Disney for 4 days. If you use National or Alamo then you can rent from the car care center on property. Give yourself plenty of time for the drive. In a perfect world it is 3 hrs or so but you can always encounter an accident, car trouble, etc..... Enjoy your trip!
It doesn't show it when giving me the itemized rental cost, but at this point anything will be less expensive then flying out of FLL! What kind of transportation did you have from the car care center at Disney? Do they run a shuttle to resorts or parks? Or, will they get us to the TTC?

Emerging economies are being affected adversely by the European and US economic situations.
DEVELOPING countries are increasingly being affected adversely by the economic recession in Europe and the slowdown in the United States.
The hope that major emerging economies like China, India and Brazil would continue to have robust growth, decoupling from Western economies and becoming an alternative engine of global growth, has been dashed by recent data showing that they are themselves weakening.
Just as during the 2008-2010 global crisis, a decline in exports caused by falling Western demand is the main way in which the developing countries are being hit.
Inflows of capital into developing countries have also slowed down, and a reversal to a new outflow situation may well take place. The lending conditions of banks in emerging economies have also deteriorated, according to a banking industry survey.
The IMF has lowered its growth projection for India to 6.1% for this year. This compares to 6.5% last year and 8.4% in the previous two years.
The Singapore economy contracted 1.1% in the second quarter over the previous quarter at an annualised rate, mainly due to manufacturing output falling by 6%.
For Malaysia, the growth rate for this year is projected to be 4.2% by the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research. This is lower than last year’s 5.1%, which had also slowed to 4.7% in the first quarter.
In Indonesia, the Central Bank said growth was slowing and projected this year’s rate to be 6.2%, compared with 6.5% last year (and 6.3% in the first quarter).
For Brazil, the government has lowered its growth projection for this year to 3% (from 4.5% earlier), but the IMF’s latest growth estimate is even lower at 2.5%. Growth last year was 2.7%; industrial production declined by 4.3% in the 12 months to May.
Argentina had one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Growth was 8.9% in 2011, and the average annual growth was 7.6% in 2003-2010.
But the economy contracted by 0.5% in the 12 months to May. Industrial production in June fell 4.4% on the year due mainly to a 31% decline in the auto sector.
In South Africa, growth in the first quarter was 2.7% over the previous quarter, which was down from the 3.2% growth of fourth-quarter 2011.
Last Friday, new World Bank President Jim Yong Kim warned that the debt crisis in Europe would hurt most regions in the world. He predicted that if a major European crisis developed, growth in developing countries could be cut by 4% or more.
Even if the eurozone crisis is contained, it could still reduce growth in most of the world’s regions by as much as 1.5%.
Also last week, the International Monetary Fund in its latest world economic outlook gave a downbeat picture of how developing countries were being affected adversely by the European and US economic situations.
It warned that the ability of governments worldwide to respond to the new slowdown had become limited. And while the withdrawal of capital from developing countries was not at critical levels, there could be problems for some if conditions deteriorated.
The prevailing view of prospects for developing economies has almost suddenly changed from their being emerging leaders of the global economy to being victims of the Western slowdown.
A paper by Yilmaz Akyuz, chief economist of the South Centre, shows that the theory of the “staggering rise of the South” had vastly exaggerated the developing countries’ decoupling from the economic fortunes or misfortunes of the developed countries.
Much of the high growth in developing countries in the past decade had been due to the favourable external conditions generated by Western countries.
High consumption growth in the US was a main basis for the high growth of manufactured exports from China and other East Asian countries, and these together enabled the boom in commodity prices that lifted growth in Africa and South America.
The boom in capital flows into major developing countries also helped to fuel their growth and covered the current deficits of several of them.
The 2008-09 global crisis slowed down developing countries’ export growth and reversed capital flows, but the strong anti-recession actions (fiscal stimulus, low interest rates and expansion of liquidity) in developed countries resulted in the resumption of export growth and capital inflows in developing countries.
However, with the developed countries ending their reflationary policies and switching to austerity budgets, with their low interest rates having little effect, recessionary conditions in Europe are now impacting adversely on developing countries.
With the positive conditions that supported the South’s rise no longer in place but instead turning negative, developing countries’ prospects have dimmed, prompting the need for a change in development strategy.
Meanwhile the Wall Street Journal of July 19 reported that lending conditions in emerging economies deteriorated in recent months due to the eurozone crisis.
According to a report of the Institute of International Finance, credit standards grew tighter in emerging-market banks around the world, while bad loans increased in the second quarter.
The results suggest trouble ahead for emerging economies, with banks in Asia and Latin America showing deeper caution, which can lead to weaker lending.

While I’m working on something more meaty, here’s a bit of fun.
Like most people my age, I learned to type on a manual typewriter, an old Smith-Corona, to be precise. It was heavy — damned heavy — and came in its own nearly-as-heavy hard-sided case. It had a black-and-red ribbon that always got twisted, the keys continually got hooked onto one another, and after typing up an evening’s homework, my forearms ached from the physical exertion of pressing down the keys. That’s no exaggeration; it took some oomph to make those levers thwack with enough force to register through to the carbon copy.
What’s a carbon copy, you ask? Well, it’s a … nope, I don’t have time or space to explain it all.
The first time I was able to use an electric typewriter was in the ’80s, and it was an IBM Selectric. The Selectric replaced the individual letter-levers with a letter-embossed ball that spun around to smack the appropriate letter onto the page. You could type faster — miles faster — and you could actually switch fonts by swapping out the ball, but it was even heavier than the old manual models. Not designed with transportation in mind.
Then it was word processors, and then computers, which effectively killed off the typewriter industry and brought us all into the age of the electronic keyboard. The world never looked back.
Well, most of the world.
For me, I missed the sound and the tactile feel of the manual keyboard. It had its quirks, but it worked at a slower, more thoughtful pace that was more in step with my actual compositional speed. The speed of the new keyboards did nothing to improve my writing. On the contrary, my writing suffered.
When the industry rolled out “virtual” keyboards — either displayed on a touch-sensitive screen or (horrors!) projected onto a desktop — it was a disaster for folks like me. I’d come to depend on the keyboard’s tactile cues, like the little raised dots on the F and J keys, or just the feel of the keys beneath my fingers. My typing speed slowed down dramatically, as I was constantly having to check on where my hands were situated, and whether or not the “helpful” auto-correct feature had correctly corrected my typing. The constant interruption of the “flow” made it impossible for me to write anything longer than an email. And people wonder why I still write fiction longhand.
But now, there’s a new type of keyboard on the market. They’re a chimera of retro and modern functionality. They are manual-typewriter-inspired, Bluetooth-enabled, and fully compatible with both computers and tablets.
There are several varieties on the market — mine is a QwerkyWriter — but they’re all highly reminiscent of the old manual typewriters. They have big scratch-resistant letters on rounded, metal-ringed keys with a faux-platen to hold your tablet (without the protective case, sadly, but you can’t have everything). The Qwerky has a working return bar (which is actually programmable, so you can assign a macro of keystrokes to the return bar — helpful for screenplay writing and such).
It still has the raised dots at F and J, it has all the function keys, the Ctrl/Alt/Del combo, Page Up/Down, arrows, everything, even a Delete and a Backspace key. The Qwerky also has faux platen knobs at the sides, for a nice retro aesthetic.
And while the sound of the keys isn’t exactly what it was on my old Smith-Corona, it’s a lot closer than my ergo-board, and won’t make my carpal tunnel act up (see video, below, for a sample of how it sounds).
I’ve had mine for a couple of weeks, now, and I thoroughly enjoy using it. The Bluetooth connects with my tablet, my laptop, even my phone if I want it to, and the performance is instantaneous. Just as for a violist switching to the smaller violin, there’s a brief transition period when I move from my big ergonomic split-style keyboard over to the more compact Qwerky layout, but it’s an easy adjustment to make. Besides, the Qwerky’s layout is still wider than the virtual keyboard on my iPad, so it’s less torque on the wrists.
There are several makers of this type of keyboard; I opted for the Qwerky despite it’s higher price, primarily because of the company’s longevity and good track record. There are less expensive models available, most of which have received good reviews.
The only downside to the Qwerky and it’s ilk is a basic lack of transportability. I mean, I kept the box it came in, just in case I want to take it to a writing conference (yeah, like I go to writing conferences), but to be honest, I see little need to carry it around. That’s not what it’s for.
So, if you have a quasi-Luddite writer at home and want to buy her an excursion back to the 1960s, consider one of these.
Wow! Some nice features. But not at a coffee shop where it could get noisy with a lot of people using these! As you said, not portable.
More portable than my old Smith-Corona, which I _did_ lug around some, but yeah, not like a tablet.

Tourism attendance in Morocco is not a difficult topic to discuss. The smile is back on everyone’s lips with more than a 12% increase over the first 8 months of 2017. The perspective of exceeding 11 million tourists over the year is no longer a dream although average occupancy rates of tourist establishments is only at 42%. However, this means there is room to accommodate the flow of tourists coming from new markets.
Indeed, these markets are currently the centre of attention: Japanese, Koreans, Eastern Europeans and especially Chinese have largely contributed to the good progress of Morocco’s scores. With Chinese nationals no longer needing visas, the Sherifian Kingdom has officially a role to play in the mass Asian tourism market. 100 million Chinese should spend their holidays abroad each year. A gold rush that Morocco does not want to miss.
Air links increase, opening of new international hotels (second Hilton in Tangier and third one under go), improvements in infrastructure are adding to the strengths of a country that is a peaceful and welcoming destination. The new terminal building at Marrakech International airport opened in December 2016, is part of this well planned project, it also managed to rise to the top of the rankings by Skyteam, airlines association. The red city airport is ahead of Singapore, Doha and Hong Kong. Just another way to spread the ‘Morocco brand’ further.

Chief Justice John Marshall (September 24-1755-July 6, 1835) helped to shape the American nation, was an early explorer of West Virginia, and left his name on a major educational institution.
Born at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Marshall grew up on the Virginia frontier. At the age of 20, he joined the Continental Army to fight for American independence. He later entered the practice of law in Richmond, and by 1790 had become the leading appellate lawyer in Virginia. Marshall served in the House of Delegates, the state executive council, and as a delegate to the Virginia convention that ratified the U.S. Constitution. In 1797, President John Adams induced Marshall to go to Paris as American emissary, and he returned to a hero’s welcome. He was elected to Congress in 1799, and appointed secretary of state in 1800. The following year, Adams named him chief justice.
Marshall’s great decisions established the basis of American constitutional law and established the authority of the Supreme Court. They include Marbury v. Madison, McCulloch v. Maryland, and Gibbons v. Ogden.
In 1812, Chief Justice Marshall led a 20-man survey party mapping the route across Western Virginia between the James River and the Ohio. The Marshall group traveled down the New River Gorge in wooden boats, and the cliffs at Hawks Nest were known for many years as Marshall’s Pillars. The path he laid out became the route of the James River & Kanawha Turnpike, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, and Interstate 64.
Marshall’s most enduring link to West Virginia resulted from the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829–1830. Marshall, then 74, made an extraordinary impression. John Laidley, a delegate from Cabell County, returned home and founded a small institution that he called Marshall Academy in honor of the great chief justice. Over the years Marshall Academy became Marshall University. John Marshall died in Philadelphia, where he had traveled for medical care. Legend has it that the Liberty Bell cracked tolling his death.

MacKenzie Speaks: The Mother of Cats Came Home!
So, alone. Inside. Stale food and old boring toys. Without even the minimum level of stimulation that a cat of my intellect requires… The worst part of being abandoned… no COOKIES!!!
That darn squirrel in the back yard has been laughing at me through the window for days.
Finally, late last night, she returned. I helped myself to cookies while she unpacked the car.
That’s right, the Mother of Cats has returned home. We slept on top of her all night so she couldn’t get away again. She brought us new toys, groomed our fur until it was glossy, and let us out to play in the yard again this morning. That squirrel and I had a little chat; he won’t be teasing me through the window for awhile!
Yellow Boy was so glad to get back outside. Hmm… I wonder why he felt an urgent need to sharpen his claws? I only chased him a little bit while we were left alone. Hey, I was bored!!
Today she did the laundry, took a nap, caught up on mail and let me help her knit in the afternoon. Look what she found on the doorstep this morning when she got the mail!
Someone sent her a package of yarn and candy!
She really got a little teary when she found the package. The Mother of Cats can get a little emotional sometimes. Me, I was fighting back tears myself when I saw there wasn’t a catnip mouse for me in the package… Humans! Maybe she’ll let me play with the yarn. It really is a lovely color and will go so nicely with my fur.
How good it is to have things return to normal again.
My family has transitioned from acute health emergencies to a routine of long term cancer treatment for my older son, and chronic condition management for everyone else. There is still a long road ahead of us, but we are dealing.
The wonderful package of yarn and candy came from fellow blogger Sharon of Creativity and Family. The yarn is Sharon’s own hand dyed yarn (Inspirational Yarns) and is so wonderful that I really did get tears in my eyes. Thank you so much, Sharon. What a burst of sunshine in what has been a very dark time. If you would like a burst of sunshine for yourself you can find Sharon’s fabulous yarn in her shop on Etsy.
No, I did not let MacKenzie eat all of those kitty cookies!!
MacKenzie: She is so much better she chased us today with the vacuum. She’s not getting any hugs after that!
Mother of Cats: Ha! I took a nap afterwards with a heating pad on my knees and he slept the whole time on top of my legs purring in his sleep.
Haha, you’re a big softie really MacKenzie!!
Happy to hear you are home!
How sweet of Sharon! I follow her blog, too. The little, unexpected kindnesses are the most wonderful, especially when you are going through hell.
Sharon is such an inspiration; she also has a pesky autoimmune disease (lupus) and just keeps on going with such an upbeat attitude. The yarn was a wonderful find when I got home. I’m amazed that she does so much.
I added the link to Sharon’s shop today. She does have some cute stuff!
This was so sweet. Kitties! I am allergic (sadly), but I ❤ all the cats I have ever met. I hope your son is doing OK through all of this–so sorry to hear he is ill. Sending good thoughts your way!
Even though poor MacKenzie and Yellow were unhappy with you being gone so long, it seems they were very happy to see you and are not holding a grudge or putting a guilt trip on you by ignoring you. It is GREYT to be loved!!!

If you’ve ever spent some quality time with a good biography, autobiography, or memoir, you’ll know that this is a genre which has a lot to offer both to the authors who are willing to translate their lives into literature and to the readers who are looking to be moved by the stories of those who have lived other lives from their own. But how does one write a good biography, autobiography, or memoir? This month, we’ll be providing some tips and tricks for crafting a work of non-fiction drawn from life and history which will leave your readers moved, to tears or to joy or to action, and hungry for more. Oh, and don’t forget that Outskirts Press offers a spectacular One-Click Publishing Package for Memoir!
1. Taste-test. That is, take the time before getting started to immerse yourself in the genre. Like a lot of others, the autobiography, biography, and memoir genres are so diverse as to include everything from “chatty” celebrity tell-alls to serious historical excavations to symbolic and “atmospheric” texts that read more like prose poems than anything else. Find a couple of examples of the field that do what you want to do, or somehow make clear the imaginative possibilities of the form, or that do the exact opposite, and use these books as your guiding stars as you begin to craft your own book.
2. Draw up a list of scenes. Draw up a list of scenes which stick in your head, regardless of their importance to your larger life story or the life story of the historical figure you’re attempting to put together. These scenes are simply the memories or historical moments you know you want to write about, now or eventually, and can be organized or restructured later. Don’t put too much of a premium on what comes “first” or what you want the first paragraph, page, or chapter of your book to look or feel like. It’s more important that you get some words on the page without being intimidated by the process.
3. Start fleshing them out. Simply pick a couple of the scenes on your list and start fleshing them out in prose. As you go, you’ll start to get a feel for what’s most central about that memory or historical moment to you. Is it the way it made you feel, and how that affected who you became later? Is it key in understanding a relationship in your life or the life of an historical figure which shapes everything else? Is it that it provides humor to leaven the darker moments of your book? Highlight the lines which seem most important and telling, and move on to the next scene once you feel like you’ve reached a moment of completion. You’ll fit the pieces together later. Do you find that more scenes crop up in your mind as you’re writing? Perfect! Add them to the list. You’ll get to them eventually if they really are important.
4. Embrace the drama. By which we mean: employ each and every storytelling technique which you find useful, including colorful language, dramatic tension, and situational irony. Just because you’re describing events which really happened doesn’t mean that you can’t use the tools of fiction to keep things fun and interesting. Think about the central conflicts of your scenes, and see if they might start adding together to something even larger and more central to the story of the life you’re telling. Does each memory circle around your or your historical figure’s relationship with your/their mother? What is the larger ecology that your collected scenes all fit within? Pump up the setting and the mood with all the vivid details that you or the documents you’re drawing from can recall.
5. Due diligence matters. Whether you’re writing a memoir or a biography or an autobiography, the fact remains that the true story isn’t limited to your own personal memories and lived-in experience. Many of the most striking books to emerge in recent years–Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, Helen Macdonald’s H is for Hawk, and Anne Lamott’s Some Assembly Required, for example–are personal stories built upon a foundation of deep research. Whether your book involves a backpacking trip across the Himalayas or a battle with cancer or a chronicle of experiences as an educator or anecdotes of career-related experiences, there are endless possibilities for primary research. Decades-old weather records for most corners of the globe are archived online. Your local library likely stocks ancient, moth-eaten back issues of your local newspapers. State historical societies host census data from the turn of the century. In an age when you can access fire insurance maps from the 1870s and also have your DNA sequenced for a small fee, there’s no limit to what information sources are available to strengthen your work.
Not sure where to start? It may be time to lean on an expert. If you’re looking to write and publish your memoirs or a biography about an historical figure, there’s never a better time than now to inquire.

I have not had much inspiration lately to continue with the spring jacket I started some time ago. I had to stop with the jacket when I had some trouble finding the right coloured lining and while I was looking for it I found much more inspiring things to do.
I've already made atleast three mistakes with it. First of all I had the fabric op-shopped years ago and I did have a bit too little of it. Then I did not understand the pattern fully and cut way too little pieces from the fabric. In the end that resulted that I had to cut one piece in different thread direction than others. So now when all other parts have the fabric pattern going to the top right the one piece has the pattern going to the top left. A said that is fine and no one will notice and I do agree with him, but I'm still annoyed. Also since I'm now truly run out of the fabric and I would still need small pieces of it for the lining, I need to figure out something else. I know I will be able to do something, just don't know what yet.
So the point of me showing you this project at this stage is to get me back on track. Next time you see this I hope it's ready and spring has not passed.
Love the yellow zipper detail. You can finish the rest, I know you can!
That looks like a serious sewing project! I really like the pop of yellow with the zipper- can't wait to see the end product.
It is the most difficult sewing project I've done maybe ever. I have done some tricky ones too but in this all seams need to also look good, just to have it working is not good enough.
That is going to be such a cute jacket! I also love the yellow zipper, those pretty, unexpected details are wonderful.
Thank you Christina. I too am a big fan of funny details.

Re: “Have we lost our way?” Brian Giesbrecht, Nov. 2.
As a born and raised Manitoban, I regularly read the Winnipeg Sun. I thoroughly enjoyed Brian Giesbrecht’s recent column, and couldn’t agree more. Canada has indeed lost its way and there is no trail of breadcrumbs to help us. Unfortunately we are being led by politicians, bureaucrats and pundits that fail to recognize the important signposts. No importance is placed on critical nation building concepts such as infrastructure, international competitiveness and the building of future generations that will help build prosperity. We cannot get crucial projects built. We continue to become less competitive. We turn out “educated,” but often job-challenged young adults. We receive bad government, at all levels and from all political parties. With each passing year, Canada becomes less recognizable.
Brian hit the nail on the head. We need leadership willing to make hard decisions, who support personal freedoms and smaller government rather than politicians who are only interested in separating us from our hard-earned bucks.
Your “polluter” suggests carbon recovery, carbon sequestration and energy storage as a “start.” I have no problem with those, only noting the word “start” reveals that even your polluter recognizes more will be needed. Millions of decisions lead to emissions. Pollution pricing will impact all. By denying that, your polluter is saying he knows more than economists who have studied this for years. Well, he obviously doesn’t. Air pollution also kills people — an estimated seven million per year. Should we feel guilty? No; the world’s prosperity was built on fossil fuel. But now that we recognize the danger, as we did with CFCs, it’s time to change. Change will make the world healthier, cleaner, quieter, safer and more prosperous. Your polluter says he uses energy as efficiently as “basic economics allow”. That’s the point. Further, he says, “Give Canadians a better, cheaper way to use energy and they will embrace it.” That’s what we are counting on. There are abundant alternate sources of energy that are cheaper when the damages from burning fossil fuels are charged where they should to the polluters particularly, not to people in general. Seventy governments around the world have carbon pricing, representing almost half the world’s population. China had a national plan before ours. Sweden has a carbon price of about $180 a tonne and it’s a cold country. I’ve been there. It didn’t seem like everyone was in a “frozen, inert state”. Methinks thy polluter doth protest too much!
This debate could be one that decides the next federal election.
Hate speech causes hate crimes. President Donald Trump has been a hero of racists and hate groups since he ran around peddling the birther lie. Exploiting the caravan “invasion”, he’s fear and hate-mongering. This and the Jewish charity helping refugees enraged the hater, inspiring him to commit that horrific crime. Trump will do more harm before he’s gone.
There’s always been ugliness in the world and it’s not going away any time soon by the looks of it.
I enjoy reading the Sun’s columnists daily. Reading Lorrie Goldstein’s Oct. 28 article (“Trudeau’s carbon plan won’t work and Scheer doesn’t have one”), I’m thinking technology is the solution to unravelling the left’s hoopla on climate change. I think if we develop accurate minute-by-minute measuring instruments placed sporadically around the globe measuring how much of the sun’s energy is being reflected back into the planet’s atmosphere, we can deduce the worst sources of greenhouse gases. I’m thinking the colossal amount of jets flying in the stratosphere where the air pressure is a fraction of what it is on the ground is causing an overabundance of greenhouse gases in the area where it actually does cause energy to be reflected back into the planet’s atmosphere.
Technology will be the solution, not a carbon tax.

Justin Bieber, who may or may not be married to Hailey Baldwin, has not released an album since 2015’s Purpose. He’s guested on scores of singles since then, including many summer bangers (“I’m the One,” “Cold Water,” and more).
But in the absence of a new musical project to do proper press behind, Bieber tends to get singled out for his extremely laidback fashion choices, for example, as well as his seeming inability to eat Mexican food the way most of us do.
Last week, what looked to be a paparazzi or fan-captured photo of Biebs chowing down on a burrito while holding it sideways (like corn on the cob) hit the internet. People loved it. They were also confused.
But in a very 21st-century twist with shades of Zardulu behind it, the photo is, in fact, fake. It’s a real pic, but that’s not Justin — it’s a highly convincing impersonator hired by the folks behind the Yes Theory YouTube channel.
They roped in Brad Sousa, who looks like he could be Biebs’s long-lost brother, to stand in for him, fitted him with a wig, and cleverly hid most of his face behind the honking Chipotle creation. “We wanted to prove a point: that staging a story, as goofy as it was, can be done much more easily than most people can imagine,” their new revelation video explains.
The whole behind-the-scenes look is worthwhile, showing just much brainstorming and backend work went into a simple photo that fooled the entire entertainment world. There’s additional info about a supplementary video where fake Biebs assisted a grandma, played by an actor, across the street — and most of the work appears to be just sitting around waiting for the thing to go viral.
No word yet from Justin himself about the pic or the story behind it. But last week, he did take to Twitter to remind young people in the U.S. to get out there and vote in the upcoming midterm elections, which is cool. Watch the full explanation video above.

The title of Todd Rundgren’s 1973 solo album, A Wizard – A True Star, perhaps best sums up the artistic contributions of this multi-faceted musician and state-of-the-art producer to contemporary music. As a songwriter, video pioneer, producer, recording artist, computer software developer, conceptualist and artist, Rundgren is a Rock ‘n Roll ‘Renaissance Man’ that has made a lasting impact on both the form and content of popular music.
I had a rare opportunity to interview Rundgren in the midst of his current concert tour, billed as An Evening with Todd Rundgren, which will be coming to Saginaw on Saturday, May 14th at The Red Room inside The Dow Event Center. Tickets are $32 and $49 and are available at all Ticketmaster Outlets, The Dow Event Center Box Office and by phoning 800-745-3000.
For the uninitiated, Rundgren’s resume is impressive. Born & raised in Philadelphia, he began playing guitar as a teenager and went on to found and front The Nazz, a pioneering force in quintessential ‘60’s psychedelic rock; and in 1969 left the band to pursue a solo career. On the 1972 release Something/Anything he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, which catapulted him to superstar status in the wake of such timeless hits as I Saw the Light, Hello It’s Me, and Can We Still be Friends?
In 1974 Todd formed Utopia, an entirely new approach to the concept of interactive musicianship; and also gained a reputation as an A-Class producer, helping shape the sound for albums by Patti Smith, Badfinger, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meatloaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad and Hall & Oates.
In 1998 he debuted his new PatroNet technology, which for the first time allowed fans of a musical artist to subscribe directly to the artist’s musical output via the internet, which caps a long history of groundbreaking early multi-media ‘firsts’, including the first live nationally broadcast stereo radio concert that linked 40 cities around the country in 1978; creation of the first color graphics tablet in 1980, which was licensed to Apple; and the first live national cablecast of a rock concert on the USA Network, which was simulcast in stereo to over 120 radio stations. And this year he is producing the world’s first full length concert shot with multiple Virtual Reality 360-degree cameras.
Rundgren was gracious enough to grant me a 30-minute interview prior to sound-check at his L.A. performance; and I found him to be attentive, thoughtful, good-humored, and amazingly humble – a remarkable quality in itself for a man with so many achievements to boost from his storied resume, in a business that nowadays is centered so much around self-involvement.
Review: Looking back at the expanse of your career from the early ground-breaking days with The NAZZ up through this current tour, what do you feel is the key quality that distinguishes your sound the most?
Rundgren: That’s kind of a trick question, because the quality that characterizes me the most is the difficulty people have categorizing me. My core fan base has come to expect not to expect anything predictable.
Review: Good point! Let me rephrase the question this way: Looking back, what do you consider your greatest professional musical achievement? Is there any particular period that you are especially proud of?
Rundgren: Again, this is kind of in murky territory for me. I try to avoid things like pride, first of all; because essentially sometimes a new project turns out well and sometimes not so well. There are musical projects I’ve poured myself into and thought they would be milestones for me as an artist, only to have the record label just drop it and tell me that people won’t care and nobody gets to hear it.
When that happens you can’t really be proud of something that nobody’s heard; and in that sense, you feel more disappointment than pride and you move on. In fact, that’s kind of like the nature of the business. The thing about the music business is that nobody can be on the top tier 100 percent of the time. If you are up there you will falter and fall eventually; and when that moment happens, it drives some artists insane.
Review: Let’s shift to your role behind the mixing board, because as a producer you’ve earned a remarkable reputation for excellence that hangs right up there with the music that you create. You’ve worked with some of my favorite artists on some of the best albums they’ve ever created, such as Patti Smith’s ‘Wave’; ‘Skylarking by XTC; Badfinger, and of course being from Michigan, Grand Funk Railroad. How do you approach your role as a producer when asked by different groups to present the music they’re bringing to the table? What do you feel is your strongest suit as a producer?
Rundgren: Producers take different approaches, depending upon their backgrounds. A lot of these guys started out as engineers, so their specialty is the sound of the recordings they produce – the drums will always sound the same; and their general texture is kind of like a formula they come up with and people will come to them and say make my record sound that way.
Then you have producers who essentially set a mood. Some producers I’ve seen work whom I know have no knowledge of music – they couldn’t tell you what chord somebody is even playing, but essentially they’re successful in terms of psychology – they pump the artist up and put them in a good mood to create.
My approach turned out to be first remove all those headaches that go with the engineering aspect of recording a new record, so because I’m an engineer, first I get the sound down quick, so there’s no distraction over getting the right sound for the artist. On the psychology side, my philosophy is you don’t give any more input than necessary; and concentrate on filling in the gaps from whatever the band brings to the table. Sometimes they come and have 30 minutes’ worth of songs and need encouragement to go back and create more, or write better, before we start making the record. All of this will be done before we even start to record.
Then again, you have some people like XTC that have an embarrassment of great material, so it wasn’t hard dealing with that part of the process; but working with them did involve as much psychology as I’ve ever had to bring to bare because of the personalities involved. So there’s a big difference between what I have to do as a producer.
Grand Funk Railroad, on the other hand, were a surprising experience. They had their material down and it was mostly a few suggestions that I offered, along with helping them arrange some things; but beyond that they were surprisingly together in terms of all the stuff they had to do. They rehearsed the hell out of their material, so it wasn’t like I had to record take after take after take; and they knew how to sing their songs and how to play them. It was kind of a revelation for me because everyone had such a poor opinion of them as a band at that time. Their manager Terry Knight was also producing their records up to then and he didn’t know anything about it. He would tell them to go into the studio and jam for 20 minutes and turn the recording machines on.
Review: Are there any groups you’ve produced that just stand out overall as being a memorable experience that registered really high on the Richter scale for you?
Rundgren: Yeah – working with Cheap Trick was always incredible fun, partly because we’ve had some history together. Apart from playing the same stages together there is actually a direct connection between Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander and The NAZZ, because they were actually in it for a period of time; plus they also have great songs and perform them with great gusto. There’s no crapping around – they’re rehearsed and ready to play and not self-conscious in the studio. That record I worked on with them was a great experience. They haven’t lost their touch and are a great rock band – you know this when working with them.
Review: What’s your current state of mind regarding the entire music industry right now? There’s been dramatic changes over the decades and it seems that before concerts existed to sell albums; but now it’s the concert where the musician makes most of their money and the records are practically given away.
Rundgren: Concerts have always been where the money is. If you had a hit record back in the day you would be selling out arenas and the split on a hit record is 10-20% if you’re lucky; at a concert people pay at least twice as much as the cost of a CD and the artist gets 80% of it. Plus, with all the merchandizing and t-shirt sales, a lot of bands realize they’re better off giving their music away so they can get a hit, but always want to make sure you buy a concert ticket when they come around to perform. But look at the history of recorded music – it’s less than a century-and-a-half old and the history of music itself is thousands of years old. That’s the way musicians have always made money – playing for people.
Review: A lot of promoters are worried about what happens when the Classic Marquee Artists start to drop off – and we’ve lost a lot of important ones this year thus far – because the new artists coming out are hard to know and hard for crowds to distinguish, so they can’t fill seats the way established artists have been able to do back when you had FM Radio filtering and marketing the best of the new material being released.
Rundgren: The problem there, Bob, is there’s no middle anymore in the music business – it’s disappearing. Everything is going to either small venues or large arenas and the middle is kind of missing. Part of this is in the nature of where music is at because the biggest artists now are Carnival-like and girls. Female singers are the biggest selling artists in rock music and the next level down is with bands like The Magic Dragons and this really calculated international sounding music that doesn’t have a lot of soul to it, which is why there’s no middle. Those bands are designing themselves to go right to the arenas from some little indie club to the big time.
Actually, most of what you see in the middle now is being filled by comedians. Comedy is big now. Of course, there’s no social glue to music nowadays – it all has that hip-hop sensibility and is very narcissistic. It’s all about the stuff you have and your attitude – that kind of thing. Not very pithy subject matter.
I don’t know when or how that changes, but it’s not like The Beatles – who almost immediately after they got popular started to morph into social relevancy. The medium was more than the music at one point for them and you became interested in that – whether it was drugs or religion or politics – and music doesn’t have that same kind of totemic power that it used to have in the sixties. But there wasn’t a whole lot of other media back then, either. Most places only had 3 TV channels.
Rundgren: There was no such thing as a personal music experience outside of your home back then. Once you got the record you listened in your own house, would lock the door, unplug the phone, and sit there listening to the whole thing – maybe twice. Who does that now? Back then you listened without distractions.
Review: What musicians do you admire the most?
Rundgren: I like artists like B.B. King that last and are people who never retire from making music. You do it until you physically can’t anymore, which is what I expect to do. I admire my contemporaries for various things, whether they be songwriting skills or prowess as a player – but if you go well past retirement age that’s what a musician really wants.
There’s no such thing as retirement for a musician. It takes stamina and isn’t like riding a bike – you can’t just hop back on. I know people who retired for awhile and had to come back and play for whatever reason; and its hard – its difficult getting back into not simply the physical shape to perform, but the mental attitude – because it is performance – just like sports or anything else. People pay to see you do it without stopping.
Review: What’s it been like working with Ringo Starr’s All-Star Band? I saw the first incarnation of that with Burton Cummings from the Guess Who, yourself, Timothy B. Schmidt & Joe Walsh from The Eagles and Nils Lofgren.
Rundgren: This current version a whole different band than tha onet. The first time was interesting because it was a weird conglomeration of personalities, but the current line-up that he’s got has been together four years now and essentially is the band I think Ringo was always looking for.
His only criteria initially was that you had to have hit songs somewhere during your career to play during his show, but that means nobody ever gets a psychological evaluation. And sometimes the only 3 songs they could play were their own hit songs and they couldn’t play anybody else’s material; so this current line-up we all really like each other, all get along well, and all play each other’s material as well as it can be performed.
Review: So tell me about this show coming up? What can audiences expect at The Dow Event Center on May 14th?
Rundgren: This current show consists of material I’ve avoided playing because I’m always coming up with new records and a new show to go with the record, so this time I’m essentially giving the audience what their expectations are – the material they want to hear played performed in the way they remember it. That’s only because when I finish this tour at the end of May, I will be done touring my own stuff for the year and will start working on a new project and tour to go along with that.
Review: What is that new project going to be like? Can you give us a taste?
Rundgren: I don’t really have enough of an idea fleshed out yet about what I’m doing; the only thing I know is that it will be more collaborative than my recent albums. Lately I’ve been doing all these solo recordings because I live in Hawaii and its hard to get people to show up and jam when I’m living 5000 miles away from them. I’m going to figure a way around that, so it wont be just me on this next one.
Review: Final question. What’s your wildest experience on the road?
Rundgren: I’m trying to figure what anecdote I could tell you that would qualify for that.
Review: Okay, how about your most memorable touring experience?
Rundgren: One of the most memorable things I ever did was three nights with the Los Angeles Philharmonic known as the L.A. Pops at the Hollywood Bowl. It was essentially a tribute to The Beatles and I had the opportunity to perform A Day in the Life with the full orchestra on three different nights. That was definitely a musical highlight.

Tarpon Springs is a historic small city of 24,000 with an unusual mix of Greek culture, and Victorian and Floridian architecture. Incorporated in 1887, it is the oldest city in Pinellas County, Florida. Located on the Gulf of Mexico on the west coast of Florida, Tarpon Springs is north and west of the Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area.
The city is full of parks, bayous and brick streets, and boasts two distinct downtowns. The NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES lists downtown Tarpon Springd, which is a mix of antique shops, boutiques, galleries, and museums. The internationally known Sponge Docks is the heart of the City’s Greek Town, settled by Greek fishermen and their families in the early twentieth century. One of Florida’s few working waterfronts, at the Sponge Docks you can see sponge fishermen unloading and processing their harvest, as well as locally built Greek sponge boats listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Called the Venice of the South, Tarpon Springs has been an arts destination since the early 1900s, when GEORGE INNESS, the father of American landscape painting, made his home here; other artists, performers and arts enthusiasts soon followed. (See the GEORGE INNESS, JR. Paintings at the UNITARIAN CHURCH) Tarpon Springs is perhaps most famous for its 100-year-old annual Epiphany celebration, involving Greek Orthodox young men diving for a cross that’s thrown into Spring Bayou. Today the population is rapidly expanding; more and more businesses, families and retirees are discovering the magic of Tarpon Springs.

Matthew Clegg was just 7 years old when he unexpectedly died.
According to McCordsville United Methodist Church, he loved Star Wars, Legos, and video games.
He also enjoyed being outdoors, going to parks, and swimming, so the church decided to install a playground to keep his memory alive.
Now in its fundraising phase, the project hopes to serve as a lasting tribute to Matthew, and provide fun and fellowship to children of all ages for years to come.
The church wants to raise $20,000 to cover equipment and installation costs, and will hold a dedication for the playground on Matthew's 10th birthday, which is June 7, 2018.
Donations can be made online, or checks can be made out to McCordsville United Methodist Church with "Playground Fund" noted on the memo line.
The church says Matthew is missed greatly by all who knew him and is talked about often. They hope this playground will give others the chance to get to know him and keep his memory alive.

Our new reading theme begins this week, a study of spring, seasons and weather. And what better way to celebrate than by reading the children’s book SPRING IS HERE by Taro Gomi? This wonderful story with it’s simple, yet beautifully expressive text and illustrations.
Using simple words and bright illustrations, author-illustrator Taro Gomi takes children on a playful tour of the four seasons. The reader experiences the story through the eyes of a calf.
I created a couple of reading responses for my K class. We are working on story sequence so they will be responding with flow maps.
This flow map reinforces the symbols and cycle of the seasons.
This one will help the students sequence how the calf grows & changes over the course of the story.

Yesterday we were visited by Nikoli from St John.
We learnt about oxygen tanks and how they help us if we need it.
We got to feel the air on our hand and if we were brave enough we could put it up to our face.
Leo and Grace were lucky enough to put on some of the St John uniform.
We pretended that Andrea had fallen off her skateboard and Leo and Grace had to help bandage her up.
Then we all got together with a partner and practiced using a bandage on their leg or arm.
Thank you so much for coming to visit us St John! We learnt so much.
Wow! How exciting room 9, these photos are great, what an awesome time you had.
Looks like you all had fun bandaging each other.
Great to see you learning Life Skills with our good-sorts from St John's. You never know when you might have to dial 111 to save a family member. Always remember your letterbox number and road so that an ambulance can get to you.
