Deep South Quartet (1953-1956)
Bass singer Jimmy Jones formed the Deep South Quartet after a stint with the Rangers Quartet. Jones had initially traveled with the Rangers filling in for Arnold Hyles while Hyles was off the road recovering from an automobile accident in 1953. After Hyles returned, Jones continued a short while longer singing baritone for the Rangers. He then formed the Deep South Quartet in late 1953. The group was soon appearing on events promoted by Wally Fowler. From there, they'd go on to sing with many of the top groups of the mid-1950s including the Rebels, Florida Boys, Blackwood Brothers, and Statesmen.
The Deep South Quartet had considerable experience from the very beginning with Cat Freeman at tenor, Bob Crews singing lead, and flashy pianist Wally Varner. Freeman had sung tenor with several groups including both the Blackwood Brothers and the Statesmen prior to joining the Deep South Quartet. He would ultimately return to the Statesmen in 1957 after the death of Denver Crumpler. Crews had been the lead singer for the Harmoneers for roughly seven years prior to joining the Deep South. He only sang with the Deep South for a short period of time, ultimately resurfacing as the baritone and manager of the Harmoneers when that group reorganized in 1957. Varner had already made a name for himself with the Melody Masters Quartet and the Homeland Harmony Quartet by 1954. The Deep South line-up was completed by baritone Brownie Jones who was a brother of the group's manager, Jimmy Jones.
By the end of 1954, Freeman, Crews, and Varner had been replaced by tenor Kermit Jamerson and pianist/vocalist David Reece. Both Freeman and Varner joined the Revelaires Quartet after their brief stay with the Deep South Quartet. Nearly a decade after his experience singing with the Deep South Quartet, Jamerson sang with the Kingsmen Quartet.
The Deep South would undergo further changes over the next couple of years with future Cathedrals tenor Bobby Clark taking Jamerson's place and Tommy Rainer stepping into the lead singer role. An attempt to relocate north didn't work out, and the group disbanded in 1956 (or possibly early 1957). Jimmy Jones soon landed with the LeFevres where he sang both bass and baritone and sometimes dual bass with Rex Nelon.

The Proposition
May, 2006, Drama
In America’s post-WW II era, (the twilight of Western movies) heroes bore little resemblance to the white-hat types like Tom Mix, Gary Cooper and John Wayne which preceded them. By 1969, director Sam Peckinpah inverted the traditional view of the protagonist as hero, creating a motley gang of vicious bank robbers in The Wild Bunch whose villainy became appealing when contrasted with the even more despicable behavior of the characters they confronted. In Peckinpah’s hands, fascination with society’s outsiders - - those who play by rules of their own making rather than those of the community - - seemed tragically romantic and an appropriate way of dealing with an age in which conventional morality and norms of acceptable behavior were being subjected to an often chaotic scrutiny.
Within two years however, Clint Eastwood created a policeman who also lived by his own rules. Dirty Harry became a cinematic icon headed in precisely the opposite direction from Peckinpah’s outlaws. Eastwood’s hard-nosed, thuggish cop justified taking justice into his own hands in order to deal with those who sought sanctuary behind the very statutes intended to protect law-abiding citizens. Where are the proper boundaries, these films wonder, between “do your own thing” autonomy and the obligations we owe one another as citizens in a free society? Can society’s pursuit of those who live outside the law become more evil than the acts those laws were created to punish? (Not an unimportant question to consider, post 9/11.)
That’s the premise to be found in The Proposition, an Australian “western’ set in Queensland in the 1880’s. A gang of cut-throats which includes three brothers murders an entire family on a remote ranch; when the youngest two siblings are captured, Captain Stanley, (Ray Winstone) the local police chief, offers Charlie, the middle brother, a choice; bring in Arthur, (his older brother and the gang’s leader) dead or alive, or younger brother Michael goes to the gallows. Charlie rides off into the outback to track down his older sibling, but the townspeople aren’t satisfied with Stanley’s unconventional bargain; over the policeman’s ineffective objections, they publicly flog Michael so severely his death is guaranteed whether Charlie delivers Arthur to the authorities or not. When the two older brothers stage a jail break and rescue Michael only to watch him die, Arthur, (played with surprising effectiveness by Danny Huston) decides to attack Stanley’s home to rape and murder his wife. Faced with the prospect of still more violence, Charlie challenges his brother’s decision, delivering a rough justice all his own.
While Charlie is the lynchpin of this storyline, Arthur and Stanley embody the plot’s moral ambiguity. Both characters are large men; Winstone’s physical bulk belies Stanley’s lack of inner strength, while Houston provides Arthur with a rich combination of Irish charm and bloodthirsty vigor that neatly captures his primal, intimidating presence. Not since Bogart disdainfully ignored the law and eliminated Leslie Howard in The Petrified Forest has the seductive attraction of brute force been so compellingly presented. Arthur personifies the outcast who knowingly chooses to obey only his own appetites and interests, while Stanley represents mere bureaucracy. His supply of personal courage and integrity falls far short of what his job requires. And like the venal townspeople in High Plains Drifter, the citizens Stanley has been hired to protect seem morally unworthy even of his feeble efforts. Can Arthur and his clan really be no worse than those they victimize? Director John Hillcoat and screenwriter Nick Cave have fashioned a grim, dog-eat-dog world with no sympathy for either the winners or losers and even less conviction that one can be distinguished from the other.
All this is accompanied with stunning cinematography that captures the primal beauty of Australia’s hinterlands and uniformly impressive performances by the entire cast. Pierce once again appears to have narrowed his physique to whippet dimensions in order to convey a man at war with himself and Emily Watson delivers a delicately nuanced portrait of Stanley’s supposedly demure wife who is the first to endorse the flogger’s whip. John Hurt is terrific as a deceptively vicious bounty hunter, although the script provides him with far too many clever verbal riffs for someone in that gruesome trade.
Screenwriter Cave is a musician by trade and someone of prominence down under; as such, he’s also responsible for this film’s score, which includes a wide selection of eerie songs often accompanied by unintelligible lyrics. They considerably heighten the film’s sense of foreboding, but provide little in the way of accessible commentary on the motivations of its characters.
Vibrant, gory and ultimately nihilistic, Hillcoat and Cave have delivered a film that resembles Brueghel’s view of 16th century peasant society run amok. There’s visceral impact here, but greater restraint would have served The Proposition’s purpose far better.

Falkor, Vermithrax Pejorative, Draco, Maleficent & more movie dragons
Look! Up on the screen! It’s the brave Eragon the Alagaesian taking back his homeland from the evil King Galbatorix of the Forsworn with the aid of Saphira the dragon and the forces of Varden! We were going to use “Eragon ” as a springboard to write about the silliest names in film history, but then thought it might be easier to just focus on the Top Ten Movie Dragons.
10) Falkor in “The NeverEnding Story ” (1984)
Proof positive that nostalgia is an impenetrable fortress of forgiveness, “The NeverEnding Story” is, well, unbearable unless you first saw it as a small child, in which case it’s a beloved masterpiece. At the center of the German fable about a young boy who must save the land of Fantasia is Falkor, a creepy dog-dragon hybrid that’s only slightly less believable than Pterri the Pterodactyl from “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse .” But we knew that to omit the fuzzy pup- er, dragon would be to incur the wrath of all of you born after 1979!
9) The Daddy Dragon in “Reign of Fire ” (2002)
Unlike most of the films on this list, “Reign of Fire” doesn’t take place in some fictitious fantasy world of long ago, but rather Europe in the near future. In 2008 London, an underground construction crew awakens a nest of hibernating dragons, which quickly begin to lay waste to most of the world. A ragtag team of “freedom fighters” led by Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey realize that the entire dragon population is sired by one male dragon, and set out to put an end to the spreading of his fiery seed (heh). The movie is a bizarre melding of genres that tries too hard to scientifically explain its ludicrous setup, but at least the dragons are pretty spectacular.
8) Vermithrax Pejorative in “Dragonslayer ” (1981)
In “Dragonslayer” (set in the more-typical milieu of the middle ages), King Casiodorus has promised an endless supply of sacrificial virgins to appease the dragon Vermithrax Pejorative (perhaps named by Frank Zappa). But when the next virgin in the queue turns out to be his daughter, the king enlists a young wizard’s apprentice to eliminate the fire-breather. The film uses “go-motion,” a variation on stop-motion animation in which the camera shoots the puppets being moved slightly (rather than taking a frame after it’s been slightly moved), creating some pretty dazzling pre-CG dragon fx. The movie also contains some fairly cynical ideas about where nice guys finish, which is particularly refreshing in the typically happy-ending fantasy context.
7) Haku in “Spirited Away ” (2001)
Hayao Miyazaki’s Japanese anime blockbuster, “Spirited Away” took home the Best Animated Feature Oscar in 2003, and deservedly so. The movie tells the tale of Chihiro Ogino, a sad girl lost in a new town whose family stumbles across a tunnel which leads to a bathhouse where spirits go to relax. When Chihiro’s parents are turned into pigs, she’s helped by Haku, a magical lake spirit who sometimes appears as a young boy, but can also take on the form of a dragon. Haku is just one of a myriad of beautiful, yet disturbing creatures in the film, one of the most visually mesmerizing works of animation in the artform’s history, refreshingly honest and lacking in anything remotely cutesy. And it’s all hand-drawn, people!
6) Draco in “Dragonheart ” (1996)
Ten years ago, the age of digital effects was just a-dawning as evidenced in this medieval fantasy flick starring Dennis Quaid as the noble Bowen, last of a dying breed of dragon-slaying knights. When Bowen finally finds himself against Draco, the last dragon, it signals the end of an era… until the two start talking. Yes, that’s right, talking. Bowen and Draco form an alliance against the tyrannical King Einon. The film is mostly remembered for the choice of the actor to voice the CGI dragon: none other than the original 007, Sean Connery, which makes us wonder if Draco prefers his knight’s blood shaken or stirred.
5) Elliott in “Pete’s Dragon ” (1977)
In this Disney musical, Elliott is a pink-haired animated dragon who befriends the live-action orphan Pete in a seaside town in Maine called Passamaquoddy. Elliott becomes Pete’s guardian angel, protecting him from abusive foster parents and a con man named Doc Terminus. Luckily for our heroes, Elliott has the power to make himself invisible, which probably also was a boon for the animators.
4) Sauron’s servants in “The Lord of the Rings ” trilogy (2001-2003)
Perhaps no filmmaker has made better use of CGI technology than Peter Jackson in his epic “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Amidst all the many, MANY CG elements in the films, few leapt off the screen as dramatically as the soaring dragons fighting on the side of the Dark Lord Sauron in the battle for Middle Earth. Ironically, none of the fire breathing beasts (besides the Balrog, which isn’t a dragon) in the trilogy are named, unlike some dragons in other J.R.R. Tolkein tales, depriving us of a moniker for any LOTR dragon on this list!
3) Sokura’s Cave Dragon in “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ” (1958)
But incredible dragons did grace the screen before the digital era. “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad” features a ton of terrific stop-motion animation by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. In the groundbreaking film, the classic sailor of myth (Kerwin Matthews) battles a horde of monstrous creatures including a two-headed Roc, a sword-wielding skeleton and a dragon that guards the entrance to the evil Sokura’s castle. The film may not have quite the dazzle of the skeleton army battle in 1963’s “Jason and the Argonauts ,” but the clash between the dragon and a huge Cyclops is another really cool example of that grand old “movie magic.”
2) Maleficent in “Sleeping Beauty ” (1959)
We’ll cop to not being the biggest fans of the Walt Disney empire, with its formulaic family-friendly fodder, but even cynics like us have to admit that some really gorgeous work emanated from the studio. 1959’s “Sleeping Beauty” came at a time when both budgetary restraints and an esthetic shift brought about animation that was far more expressionistic and less soft than, say, “Snow White .” The evil fairy Maleficent is an angular, harsh, frightening presence in human form, but when she transforms into a huge, purple, green-fire breathing dragon, it’s one of the most terrifying scenes in any Disney film, and may well be the best looking dragon on this list.
1) King Ghidorah in numerous Godzilla and Mothra movies (1954 on)
You gotta be big and bad to be considered Godzilla’s arch-nemesis, and that’s the title bestowed upon the giant three-headed dragon King Ghidorah, , the twin-tailed, laser spewing winged stalwart of many a Toho Kaiju battle epic! How bad is Ghidorah? So bad that the atomic-breathing Godzilla often needs help to defeat him (and we’re talking someone like Rodan, not Matthew Broderick)! Like Godzilla, Ghidorah’s appearance and powers have evolved over the years, even becoming a cyborg “Mecha-King Ghidora” with solar powered metal wings… but we prefer the good old fashioned rubber suited dragon.
Please note that we intentionally excluded the CGI creations in the horrendous 2000 movie version of “Dungeons & Dragons ,” the muppetlike Yowler from the execrable 1994 children’s flick, “Dragonworld," Eddie Murphy’s grating Mushu from “Mulan ” (1998) and the female dragon, Dragon in “Shrek ” (2001). Devon and Cornwall, the two-headed dragon from 1998’s “Quest for Camelot ” almost made the cut just because it’s voiced by Eric Idle and Don Rickles. 2002’s “Red Dragon ” doesn’t count because it’s just a tattoo. But we did have to fight to keep from putting 1973’s “Enter the Dragon ” on this list. Honestly, if Bruce Lee had just spit some fire in that quintessential martial arts flick, he’d be at least #3.

Misaki Kawai at The Hole
Nov 05, 2016 • by admin
Artist: Misaki Kawai
Venue: The Hole, New York
Exhibition Title: Cave Life
Date: October 8 – 30, 2016

Full gallery of images, press release and link available after the jump.

The Hole is proud to present our second solo show by Misaki Kawai, “Cave Life”. Kawai will present large-scale paintings, wall murals and new furniture. Blending European art traditions of “primitivism” and Japanese underground punk sensibilities developed in the 70s, Kawai here plays with lions and tigers, bones and dinosaurs, palm trees, bugs and stranger creations that don’t have a name.
Throughout the space you can sit on painted furniture that broadens her existing repertoire of benches (bananas, boobs and snakes, memorably) here adding bones, meaty bones, lions and tiger benches. From your bone bench you can survey the myriad of paintings in the exhibition; some made with plain black oil stick on canvas that make her playful sketchbook large and lively; others, like the above, with colored painterly backgrounds and an arrangement of black silhouetted shapes across them.
Kawai’s work fits well into Japanese artist King Terry’s appellation of the movement “Heta-Uma” or “Bad-Good”, which could perhaps be explained as so “off” or so basic or so wrong that it is right. Her world of personified objects, boobs, butts, animals and plants are all communicated in a rudimentary yet evocative way. Similar to the cave-man like paintings of A.R. Penck, her images are basic and repeated, clowning and obtuse, childlike without being childish. Her oeuvre aligns strongly with Art Brut through the Chicago Imagists to Donald Baechler, but with a distinctly Japanese punk edge. This exhibition began with her travel sketchbooks, and maintains in paint the inventiveness and spontaneity of the small pencil sketches.
Kawai has exhibited widely, in recent years mostly at institutions. She has had a solo show at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (2007); a solo show at one of Japan’s leading private institutions, Watari Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (2006); she was included in “Greater New York 2″ at PS1 Contemporary art center, New York (2005); “Fun” at Rhiimaki Art Museum Finland (2012); and presented solo museum exhibitions at Malmo Konsthall (2012) and at the Children’s Museum of Art in New York City (2012) . Major works in the MOCA Los Angeles and the Watermill Center NY have garnered recent attention. In 2009 she was included in “Visions of the Frontier” at Institut Valencia d’Art Modern and “I Believe: Japanese Contemporary Art” at the Museum or Modern Art, Toyama. She has recently exhibited with V1 Gallery in Copenhagen and Loyal Gallery in Sweden, as well as Take Ninagawa in Tokyo; a recent exhibition and solo booth with East Hampton dealer Eric Firestone garnered a lot of attention as well last year. She lives and works in Osaka when not traveling extensively.

Stranger Things (Netflix)

I didn't see a thread for this yet. I'm about midway through the first season that just premiered on Netflix and really digging it. It's set in the '80s and there's lots of throwbacks, especially the synth-suffused soundtrack. It feels like 1 part Stephen King, 1 part Twin Peaks. It also does a great job of recapturing the sense of children's adventure (a la The Goonies and more recently, Super 8).
Also, best use of Christmas lights since Starcrash.

This was a wonderful experience. So much has been written about it already, but it is essentially three major US 80s movie tropes mashed together in one long sequence (Teen Horror, High School Whatever, and Kids With Bikes Thwarting Government Conspiracy). The casting is superb, particularly with the younger actors.
It does not overplay the nostalgia card, but scatters its 80's portkeys judiciously across the episodes. The sole New Order and Joy Division song appearances are just perfectly calibrated. An Echo and The Bunnymen tune fits well over a conclusion. Peter Gabriel makes an appearance via his cover of Bowie's Heroes. But it works really well. A little Moby and Vangelis fold neatly into the custom synth score that crescendos beautifully with each episode's title card.
Thematically, there is a lot here. The whole disaffected pre-adolescents finding solace together in D&D vibe percolates throughout the entire story arc, which prompted some conversation between my wife and I about how transcendent those experiences were for me despite its having been banned as demonic in our circles. The teen romance angle is fairly ancillary to the plot, but I could see it panning out over another series more effectively.
The US government conspiracy angle is way out of fashion as a TV trope these days for a lot of reasons (a post-9/11 fear of associating security and conspiracy, an X-Files gutting of the market, changing tastes toward NCIS type procedurals, etc...). But the crowning success of Stranger Things is probably the way it makes this well-worn tradition feel new again - the way it felt as we experienced it back in the 80's, the possibility that beneath the veneer of economic and political stability lurked something inexplicably evil. I can't imagine what this story would look like in our era, as suspicion of government involvement in anything is the sole unifying perspective across our political spectrum. We have to go back to the 80's, and this entire narrative constructed in 80's cinema, to even imagine a need to cultivate distrust in government activities.
Much, much more could be said here, but
The end, in El's sacrifice to save her friends, is a beautiful touching image of a naive innocence covering over the sins of others. It is a beautiful explosion of light and sound. El's scream is aggrieved, but it is full of such power and might. This glimmer of something entirely other breaking through labyrinths of political intrigue, personal relational trauma, and the limitations of technology is the essence of 80's cinema. Stranger Things just nails it completely here in drawing the story right up to the precipice of inexplicability and then receding back into a satisfying series of what-comes-next scenes with key characters.

Interests:Since I'm here, that should be pretty obvious. I spend countless hours on the Web looking up music and movie news and info. When I'm not doing that, I spend countless hours writing music and movie reviews for my website.
We're about 2/3 of the way through it and so far, we're loving it. Yes, it shamelessly traffics in '80s nostalgia, but it's actually kind of eclectic and avoids obvious cliches. (Or maybe I'm just not used to hearing Joy Division songs in TV shows.) And it references lots of classic films, from Stand By Me to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. So it's shameless that way, too. But I just don't care because it's just done so well, a classic case in how to use nostalgia well.
I love the characters, even the minor ones. (One of my favorite scenes is when the boys are having a discussion with their dweebish science teacher and they throw out a Dungeons & Dragons reference and he knows exactly what they're talking about.) And I love the show's aesthetic, which feels very authentic in terms of setting, wardrobe, etc., while adding to the atmosphere. For example, the way the camera lingers on scenes after they're technically over, which only adds to the sense of gloom and foreboding.
I realize it could tank by the final episode, but I'm very hopeful. We'll probably binge watch the final episodes tonight.

Tu fui, ego eris
I wish they had explained
the origin of the rift and what the monster is
, but that's my only real complaint.
It's the side effects that save us.
--The National, "Graceless"
The origin was
El's screams
. I'm pretty sure that was established in a flashback. No idea on the other, though.
I went ahead and binged the whole thing yesterday. I really like it--the ending fell a little flat, but other than that it's a fantastic show. I've tried to watch several shows with the creepy-small-town thing going on--including Haven, which is loosely based on an actual Stephen King novel--and they've tended to be disappointing (remember Happy Town?). This one hooked me in and held me to the end. The child actors are quite good, and Millie Bobby Brown is fantastic as El.
Right, I though the rift
was generated by her terrific scream at her first encounter with the beast. They left the mechanics of this all unexplained, but I assume that it to set us up for another season. I found that explanation satisfying, especially given hints that El still occupies this space, which appears to contain more flower-headed monstrosities.
Mr. Arkadin
Hmmm. I guess I need to watch this.
I've Seen That Movie Too
It's really good. I'm already contemplating a second run-through.
I'm really hesitant about getting into new TV shows these days. The ratio of time investment to reward isn't great for everything but the very, very best.
I'm still in the middle of casually working my way through Star Trek: The Next Generation and this coming weekend is all about Bojack Horseman.
This show sounds like it's very much in my wheelhouse, but the trailers had me fearing that it would be a long-form Super 8.
Sepinwall makes that connection, too. But he argues (and I agree) that this show--unlike Super 8--has enough heart of its own to push it up a level.
If nothing else, it's worth it for Millie Brown and Winona Ryder, both of whom deliver fantastic performances.
A very minor thing but given the first episode in which he eagerly brings Nancy the last slice of pizza, I expected Dustin to have lingering crush over her. But then, they didn't have much interaction throughout the season.
Also, the first episode where Lucas' father is fiddling with the TV antenna, I thought this suggested it was broken or busted and I thought when Lucas showed Eleven the TV and boasted of its size that she might fix it somehow with her powers, but I don't recall that happening.
6 hours ago, Ryan H. said:
Super 8 is a legitimate comparison because they're both mining the same type of tropes and source material, but while I enjoyed Super 8, I'd argue that Stranger Things delivers more in the end. I know it resonated with me a lot more strongly then Super 8 ever did.
Scholar's Parrot
The Best You Ever Had
Interests:Depends
I spent a good chunk of my monthly data allotment to watch this over the weekend. I do not regret it at all.
I spent the whole first episode wondering why everyone was referring to El as if she were a girl. When I looked her up and found out she really was a girl, then I couldn't figure out why I thought she was a boy. Then I realized why I'd thought I recognized her:
Super 8 is about a species of cinema. Stranger Things is about an entire era.
Both are great on those terms. Stranger Things is just also one of the greatest things ever.
At the risk of getting too meta, though, Stranger Things is kind of complicated. It is about the 80's. But it is about the 80's that actually only exists in 80's cinema tropes and our present nostalgia for aural, social, and cultural elements of the 80's. It is a beautiful evocation of the idea that nostalgia is actually a form of reflection and recitation - it is like a lens that helps us focus on the essence of our past, which has been coded into the things we remember from that time frame.
People talk about having a "nostalgia for the future," and this series comes close to capturing that vibe in cinema/TV terms.
23 minutes ago, M. Leary said:
Love it. My work with small-town fiction has convinced me that there's a redemptive nostalgia at work in books as varied as DANDELION WINE and PEYTON PLACE. So I really dig the idea that it's in STRANGER THINGS too.
"Redemptive nostalgia" is a great term. Especially for Dandelion Wine.
My wife and I had a similar shared experience of Sing Street which captured so many essences for me, tugging at those wires that still connect the present with the past (big brothers and the new wave being significant touchstones for me). It isn't that such nostalgia trips create a veneer over the regrettable components of the past. It is more that they hold up these bits of the past and say: Yes, this is a good thing. Remember it? It was a good thing and it is still part of you.
Variety has an interview with the Duffer Brothers.
Lots of good stuff there as well as hints about where the show might go in season two:
There’s a lot there we don’t know or understand. Even with the Upside Down, we have a 30-page document that is pretty intricate in terms of what it all means, and where this monster actually came from, and why aren’t there more monsters — we have all this stuff that we just didn’t have time for, or we didn’t feel like we needed to get into in season one, because of the main tension of Will. We have that whole other world that we haven’t fully explored in this season, and that was very purposeful.
Elsewhere, they've said season two will be a "sequel."
--All of which has me feeling pretty ambivalent. I love this show--and the longer it sits with me, the more I like it--but I'm not convinced that finding out more about the Upside Down, the origins of the monster, etc etc etc, would actually help the show at all. This season works, in my mind, precisely because it doesn't feel the need to explain every single thing (and, for me, the places where it does explain stuff are its weakest moments). I'd much prefer that they go the American Horror Story / Fargo route and just tell a completely different story, in a completely different setting, next time.
Meanwhile, there's this:

When it comes to renewable energy potential, it’s Texas by a mile
California, Colorado, renewable energy, Texas
Turbines turning in Sweetwater Texas
Texas has got a lot of wind turbines – the most in the country. It’s a well known fact.
Now, a new study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden Colorado finds that when it comes to a suite of different solar technologies, geothermal, and even bio-power Texas has the potential for a lot of juice.
The state-by-state analysis calculates the “technical potential” for developing different types renewable energy.
This doesn’t take into account economic or market potential. The study didn’t consider transmission infrastructure or how these sources would be integrated into a scheme to assure reliable electricity supplies.
“The primary benefit of assessing technical potential is that it establishes an upper-boundary estimate of development potential,” the study said.
A lot of the rankings are physical luck. You’ve got to have rivers for hydropower – good for Washington, not so good for Nevada. You’ve got to have a lot of rooftops to do well in solar rooftop installations and a lot of open space for big utility-scale projects.
And just a word about Colorado here, which is in the mix in rural utility-scale photovoltaic and concentrating solar generation and not to far behind in wind — all good — but not close the leaders in any technology.
The study caluclated that there is a development potential of 212,224 Gigawatts – among the different renewable energy technologies

A forum for women to talk to women
Womentalk
Note to a teacher
Mrs. Rosalind Ho, my English teacher in lower secondary school, passed away in mid-April this year.
I last saw her some 28 years ago, when I completed my secondary education. Seeing her obituary reignited memories of my teenage years, underscoring the indelible mark she left on me personally and professionally.
She got me hooked on the written word, and writing.
I received my formal education at an all-girls missionary school – the Holy Infant Jesus Convent – in the southern state of Johor in Peninsular Malaysia. Missionary schools were held in high esteem then for their emphasis on good grades, sports, and extracurricular activities. Strict discipline was a given too.
Unsurprisingly, parents strove to secure a coveted spot for their daughters in the school, going so far as to appeal to local Catholic priests to intervene, if heaven forbid, their daughters were placed in another school.
Consequently, female siblings often ended up attending Convent (as it was commonly known), with the older ones providing their younger sisters with valuable intel on the teachers who’d taught them, and who’d most likely teach us too. Mrs Ho was routinely described as a “stylish teacher with a bit of an accent.”
She became our form and English teacher at lower secondary school. In hindsight, it wouldn’t have been easy handling estrogen-laden classrooms of 40 13-year-olds. So I salute Mrs. Ho and contemporaries for taking it all in their stride. Bar the rare meltdown, that once saw us standing on chairs for chattering during her lesson, Mrs. Ho was generally congenial and we looked forward daily to her coiffed hair, immaculate skirt suits, and accessories.
Like her sartorial choices, her English lessons too were a welcome distraction from the rote learning that was standard operating procedure for some other subjects. Sure, we could not avoid grammar exercises, but Mrs. Ho once shared a nugget of advice that remains helpful to this day. “When in doubt, go with your gut.” This has worked well for me except grocery shopping on an empty stomach.
“Going by our gut” enabled us to experiment. To dare to make mistakes, and to learn from them.
She gave us free rein with our essay homework, and was very encouraging of unconventional approaches to the exercises she set. Her topics weren’t run of the mill either like “My Ambition” or “My Best Friend.” Once we had to write out a recipe and its related cooking instructions; another time we had to produce and stage a fashion show.
She had picked a handful of us for the latter. More importantly, she gave us special permission to bring our own clothes to school! When you spend 11 years of education in a blue pinafore that strictly cannot be more than five inches above your knees, you’ll understand the significance of this dispensation.
I especially remember this assignment because I was the designated emcee. I had to craft my opening and closing speeches, while the ‘models’ had to explain their outfits and where one could wear them. Descriptive language, fashion and fun, all in one lesson!
But perhaps the biggest impact she had on me was when she introduced us to the inimitable Sue Townsend and arguably her most renowned protagonist, the angst-filled teen diarist, Adrian Mole.
She had brought the book to school one day and shared salient passages on growing pains that resonated with us: physical changes, secret crushes, parents “who just don’t get us”. She encouraged us to start keeping diaries, unwittingly nudging me towards a career path I hadn’t considered until then.
I still keep my ruled English exercise books in which Mrs. Ho’s comments, now in faded red ink, read: “very descriptive” or “well written” or “good effort.”
I cannot discount the collective efforts of all the other English teachers who followed, and whose praise and encouragement saw me consistently excelling in the only subject I truly enjoyed in school.
I can safely say however that it was she who first deepened and widened my interest in books and writing. So Mrs. Ho, I’ll thank you the only way I know how: by putting my thoughts on paper.
Just like how you taught me.

Empowering Girls (part 1 & part 2)
The capacity to bounce back and thrive in the face of adversity is not a natural talent or quality. Rather, it’s the result of a set of skills that can be learned. And no better has this been demonstrated in the impoverished state of Bihar in northern India. (From January 29, 2016)
Ethiopia’s Spice Girls
Women and girls in Ethiopia face a daunting number of challenges, including violence. Two out of three women actually believe that wife-beating is justified. All-female band Yegna is confronting the entrenched beliefs that hold Ethiopian women back. (From May 10, 2016)
Muniba Mazari: Empowering Women and Girls in Pakistan
Muniba Mazari represents the modern woman in Pakistan. In a conservative country like Pakistan, she has broken the stereotypes. She is a writer, artist, singer, activist and a motivational speaker . The beautiful and attractive young female is also a paraplegic, having lost control of both legs after sustaining injuries in a car accident. Recently, UN Women, the United Nations entity for gender equality and the empowerment of women, named Muniba Mazari as Pakistan’s first female goodwill ambassador to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

The sky’s not the limit for female aerospace engineer December 5, 2018

BLOODAXE BLOGS
AN INTERNATIONAL POETRY WEBZINE
Samuel Menashe: 'Giving the Day Its Due'
This short essay by Samuel Menashe was first published in Metre in 2000, and was reprinted as one of the introductory pieces to his New & Selected Poems (Bloodaxe Books, 2009). This photograph of Samuel Menashe, in his later years, was taken by Martin Duffy during a visit to the west coast of Ireland. Yesterday's tribute to Samuel Menashe (1925-2011) includes more material on his life and work, including photographs, poems and a video.
Of late, that old man’s expression “in my day” surfaces when I look back at my life. In my day I knew of no poetry workshop except for one in Iowa – not that I ever thought of attending it. After World War II, I was in Paris under the G.I. Bill. I had been an infantryman in France, Belgium – the Battle of the Bulge – and Germany. At twenty-two I had a glamorous image of myself as a writer. Since I was fluent in French and Spanish, I would be a foreign correspondent, but at the Paris office of The New York Herald Tribune, I was told that hundreds knew these languages. Serbo-Croatian was needed.
I never expected to meet a poet, let alone become one. Poets were dead immortals, some of whose poems I knew by heart. I was writing short stories evoking my childhood or the War. One night in February 1949, I woke up in the middle of the night and there was the first line of a poem, entirely unforeseen. Had someone told me when I went to bed that night that this would happen, I would not have believed it. It was not that I did not “give myself permission” to be a poet – to use a phrase now prevalent. I just did not aspire to that exalted state. Moreover, how can one decide to be a poet? Here is my first poem, never published:
All my life when I woke up at night
There was darkness in a room
And quickly I must sleep…
Now I have found a bed beneath a window –
No purpose in this place –
By an unpatterned hazard of neglect, and yet
In its crossing of my ordinary fate
It is among stars that I awake
In 1950 I presented a thesis at the Sorbonne called Un essai sur l’éxperience poetique (étude introspective). By poetic experience, I meant that awareness which is the source of poetry. I had been a biochemistry major before enlisting. Although I was well read for my age, the only literary influences on my work so far as I can tell were the short poems of William Blake and the English translation of the Hebrew Bible. “The still small voice” of Elijah was my article of faith.
Upon my return from France, I looked into little and literary magazines, but I found nothing in them that corresponded to what I was doing. Although a few poems were accepted – the first by The Yale Review – I could not find a publisher for a book. Kathleen Raine came to mind because she was a Blake scholar. Thanks to her, my first book was published in London in 1961. She wrote the Foreword. Despite favorable reviews by Donald Davie, P.N. Furbank and others, I still could not find a publisher in New York, my native city, until 1971. October House was a small firm, few people knew the name. In London I was published by the well-known Victor Gollancz Ltd.
Those who approve of my poems call them economical or concise; the others dismiss them as slight. When the Beat poets “made the scene,” I heard the pious platitude that it was good for poetry, but it was not good for my poetry. If confessional poetry was to the fore, I had nothing to offer its devotees. The only award or grant ever given to me was for a war story I wrote when I was thirty. Nevertheless, how many poets still alive were praised by Austin Clarke in The Irish Times (1961), where Derek Mahon reviewed my poems in 1987? My good fortune in England and Ireland seems miraculous to me. Although I was published by Penguin UK in 1996, I could not find a publisher in New York for my next book.
When I read a good short story I feel like an addict must feel when he gets a fix, but my poems do not tell stories. I never wrote a sonnet, yet in a way the poems are formal and they rhyme. Rhyme seems natural to me. There is a lot of rhyme, unnoticed, in ordinary speech.
At my age, more than ever, one thinks of death. Of course, as a survivor of an infantry company, I was marked by death for life when I was nineteen. In the first years after the war, I thought each day was the last day. I was amazed by the aplomb of those who spoke of what they would do next summer. Later, each day was the only day. Usually, I could give the day its due, live in the present, but I had no foresight for a future. Perhaps it is why I am still in the flat to which I moved when I was thirty-one years old:
At a Standstill
That statue, that cast
Of my solitude
Has found its niche
In this kitchen
Where I do not eat
Where the bathtub stands
Upon cat feet—
I did not advance
I cannot retreat

Unpopular Opinions about Movies (and Television Shows)
Toa_Vladin 2019-09-07 08:13:23 UTC #623
Define "weird". I am very sure that this is what the audiences thought when Toy Story came out.
LegoDavid 2019-09-07 09:53:50 UTC #624
Toa_Vladin:
I am very sure that this is what the audiences thought when Toy Story came out.
Well, yeah, I guess that is exactly how I feel about it. It's something new and very unusual, but over time, I would probably adapt to it.
ToaNoah_Wafflemeister 2019-09-07 13:45:29 UTC #625
LegoDavid:
It's something new and very unusual
But super cool, beautiful, creative, and intriguing to see. It’s overall a very beautiful movie, and it’s used in such a wonderful way, down to the evolving FPS of Miles’ movements as he progresses. It’s actually a rather groundbreaking style, and if you can’t enjoy it, I’m sorry, but you’re missing out.
However, ‘tis my purpose for this topic, so such controversy should be expected and tolerated.
So yesterday I watched Infinity War and Endgame back to back and...
...I really don't recommend the experience.
Second time I saw Infinity War the emotional reaction was still there, but as I continued watching it they kinda slowed down. Yesterday my eyes still got wet when Spider-Man got dusted, but I couldn't call that crying.
With Endgame however... yeah... It was completely the other way around. Every feeling I had got amplified. There were even moments at the beginning of the movie in which I was on bring of getting emotional, really don't know why.
A few days ago I watched a German movie called "Look Who's Back" and controversial things aside, I genuinely thought that it was the best movie I've ever seen, making me literally forget Endgame.
But no, I was wrong, I was very wrong. Endgame will never become less than my favourite movie ever. Even somebody who is not a Marvel fan, even somebody who haven't seen any other Marvel movie, even somebody who haven't seen Infinity War before Endgame will admit that this movie was something special, something magnificent, something unique. I am willing to forget every single one of its defects, from its slow phasing at the beginning (which I think that actually helps with the theme) to the all-women scene (I am sorry, but that is arguably the worst scene (or better said the worst frames, the scene is much bigger than just the shot in which all the women come together) in the entire movie, mainly due to how forced it was), just for that perfect final fight scene. Nothing will ever top that.
You may say whatever you want about it, you can say that IW was better than it, and it probably was, but you will never convince me that this movie is anything short of fantastic, of fabulous, of magnificent and, at least in my view, perfect.

I hate netflix
ProfSrlojohn 2019-09-23 10:56:09 UTC #628
draconian673696:
I agree to limited extent. Netflix has spiraled downhill fast this past year or so.
I dislike it too for a few reasons, but why hate?
I like Netflix, but I don't really follow any of the politics behind it. I just have to watch Stranger Things and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. somehow.
Netflix used to be great, but now, their policies are weird, their rating system is wack, and all the stuff that used be worth watching has moved to other platforms. The only thing that keeps me going is Dragon Prince and Star Trek: Next Generation.
I was kinda disappointed with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I loved the first movie, and expected to love this one equally as much, but as I was very let down. I don't hate it or anything, there were still parts of it that I liked, but it's probably one of my least favorite MCU movies. The plot was way to complicated, the jokes weren't as funny as in the first movie, and the twist was predictable.
. The plot was way to complicated
How so? It had just three plotlines.
nd the twist was predictable
So what? This doesn't change the in-universe weight that it had, or the development that it caused.
I would personally have liked it more if there was only one single plotline, like in the first movie.
This doesn't mean that the story is crowded or "complicated".
The Quill and Rocket one are vital for the movie.
And the Gamora/Nebula one is to tease in the Soul Stone.
As part of the MCU cannon, it's fine. But as it' own movie, it's not one that I am likely to re-watch any time soon.
I just don’t like Ego. Other than that, the movie’s great. Drax forever.
I prefer traditional 2D animation over 3D animation.
Coolio 2019-10-03 16:43:23 UTC #639
Here are some of mine.
I don’t really like the MCU, the comics are better.
Speaking of MCU, Iron Man and his death is overrated. His death scene wasn’t anything special. Wolverine’s death in Logan was better.
Bleach is a great anime. (Aside from fillers) i know most people say it’s decent or terrible but I like the series.
The first three Transformers movies were good. Can’t say the same for 4 and 5, and I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bumblebee.
Transformers Armada is the best of the Unicron Trilogy.
Coolio:
I'll respectfully disagree.
I've been getting a lot of backlash for my love of Rogue One recently. Something about boring dialogue, poor character decisions, and being worse than the Sequels. Is this a pretty common opinion?
ToaNoah_Wafflemeister:
I personally enjoyed Rouge one immensely. The main complaints I hear, is building up the characters, only to kill them off. The thing is, if watch A New Hope it SAYS that they die.
ProfSrlojohn:
I personally enjoyed Rouge one immensely.
I agree. It's my favorite Star Wars movie.
The main complaints I hear, is building up the characters, only to kill them off.
I felt more emotion than when Han, Luke, or Yoda in just that one movie. That's what makes it so incredible.
The thing is, if watch A New Hope it SAYS that they die.
I'm nearly certain it doesn't, contrasting popular belief. That's Return of the Jedi.

A repository of artists’ online works that draw their inspiration from Kurt Schwitters. Guided by his innovations in visual arts, spoken word, typography and poetry, the project anticipates how Schwitters’ spirit might have flourished in the online world, while highlighting the debt that new forms of digital collage owe to Schwitters’ formative example. Funded by Film and Video Umbrella, the site includes newly commissioned works by Andrea Luka Zimmerman, Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson, Ian Forsyth and Jane Pollard, Alec Finlay, and George Barber. Their works reflect the many different facets of Schwitters’ aesthetic while exploring today’s ever expanding outlets for combining and communicating images, texts and sounds. Whether using content-sharing platforms such as Pinterest as places to find and assemble material, or experimenting with other forms of digital dissemination such as downloads and applications, the pieces demonstrate how Schwitters’ practice continues to reverberate in the present.

After watching Joe's highlights, it is mindblowing that this kid isn't a household name. Let's see: blazing, and I do mean blazing speed, strength, pass blocking/ability to pick up and neutralize blitzing defenders, catches the ball out of the backfield. Christ, the Rutgers receivers on the highlights were dropping easy catches left and right. The only thing that made me sick was seeing him line up as a fullback, while some half-assed, lesser talent "afflete" lined up behind him: they all ran tentatively, while Joe runs like a man possessed. No NFL corner would want to come up and have to take him on one on one: they would either get steamrolled, juked, or Joe would just blow by them. Why? Because they are all fundamentally unsound, while he is both technically and physically superior. Go Joe, and don't settle for fullback. Shut them all up.

Schiano owes Jersey Joe a lot. With his pro day times he will be a priority free agent in some teams training camp and might be a 7th round pick. It will be interesting to see if he is going to try out as a tailback a hybrid or pure fullback.

The racist slotting of Martinek by the media, the scouts, the draft "experts" and the NFL continues. There's just a little bit of cognitive dissonace in the excerpt below. Yeh, it's routine for big black RBs who can also run a 4.40 40 to be converted into fullbacks. Maybe "Leonardized" should be the term for quality White running backs who are forced to become fullbacks.
Martinek spent three years as a Scarlet Knights running back before switching to fullback during his senior campaign. He scored 17 touchdowns while rushing 391 times for 1,770 yards with Rutgers.
But off-the-field numbers recently caught the attention of NFL scouts.
Martinek ran a surprising 4.4 40-yard-dash at the Scarlet Knights' March 21 showcase, turning so many heads ESPN reporter Adam Schefter said via Twitter that the 2007 Hopatcong High School graduate was garnering extra attention.
Martinek said he didn't let the pro day success go to his head.
"For me, it's calmed down," he said. "All I've been doing is working out, keeping my body in shape."
To keep that ball rolling, Martinek said he's been working out recently with several former Scarlet Knights in the NFL. He said Brian Leonard, a 2007 second-round pick, has been a mentor.
Martinek has become a player in the mold of Leonard, currently a Bengals fullback, in that he can block, rush off tackle and serve as a short-range passing threat.

CBS sportsline updated their scouting report on Jersey Joe and they stated he has been bumped up to late pick/PFA. I just wish that he had played tailback this year and rushed for 1200+ yards. I think with that workout he could have been 4th through 6th round pick and would have decent shot at sticking with team on the 53 man roster......http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1272313/joe-martinek

Good news. Martinek is apparently continuing his football careeer with the Parma, Italy team.
The NFL should give this man another chance. He's a tremendous athlete and now he has experience.

Man "Jersey Joe" Martinek was a good one!! Just reminiscing about him today. 6foot 220lbs star HS RB with 4.4 speed, but for some reason coaches always wanted to convert him to Fullback or not play him at all. Finally gets chance at Rutgers and he rushes for 1200 yards senior year. Only to be purged by NFL.. This is the sports caste system folks.. It's crazy to think Rutgers has produced him and Leonard in recent years, the last white RBs they'll ever have.
Do you think we're gonna make it?
I don't know unless we try
you could sit here scared to move
or we could take them by surprise
it's submission that they want
it's surrender that they need
when we're doing it their way
their aims will be achieved

The Kama Sutra Vātsyāyana
Translated by Sir Richard F. Burton [1883]
ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF A GO-BETWEEN
IF a woman has manifested her love or desire, either by signs or by motions of the body, and is afterwards rarely or never seen anywhere, or if a woman is met for the first time, the man should get a go-between to approach her.
Now the go-between, having wheedled herself into the confidence of the woman by acting according to her disposition, should try to make her hate or despise her husband by holding artful conversations with her, by telling her about medicines for getting children, by talking to her about other people, by tales of various kinds, by stories about the wives of other men, and by praising her beauty, wisdom, generosity and good nature, and then saying to her: 'It is indeed a pity that you, who are so excellent a woman in every way, should be possessed of a husband of this kind. Beautiful lady, he is not fit even to serve you.' The go-between should further talk to the woman about the weakness of the passion of her husband, his jealousy, his roguery, his ingratitude, his aversion to enjoyments, his dullness, his meanness, and all the other faults that he may have, and with which she may be acquainted. She should particularly harp upon that fault or that failing by which the wife may appear to be the most affected. If the wife be a deer woman, and the husband a hare man, then there would be no fault in that direction, but in the event of his being a hare man, and she a mare woman or elephant woman, then this fault should be pointed out to her.
Gonikaputra is of opinion that when it is the first affair of the woman, or when her love has only been very secretly shown, the man should then secure and send to her a go-between, with whom she may be already acquainted, and in whom she confides.
But to return to our subject. The go-between should tell the woman about the obedience and love of the man, and as her confidence and affection increase, she should then explain to her the thing to be accomplished in the following way. 'Hear this, Oh beautiful lady, that this man, born of a good family, having seen you, has gone mad on your account. The poor young man, who is tender by nature, has never been distressed in such a way before, and it is highly probable that he will succumb under his present affliction, and experience the pains of death.' If the woman listens with a favourable ear, then on the following day the go-between, having observed marks of good spirits in her face, in her eyes, and in her manner of conversation, should again converse with her on the subject of the man, and should tell her the stories of Ahalya 1 and Indra, of Sakoontala 2 and Dushyanti, and such others as may be fitted for the occasion. She should also describe to her the strength of the man, his talents, his skill in the sixty-four sorts of enjoyments mentioned by Babhravya, his good looks, and his liaison with some praiseworthy woman, no matter whether this last ever took place or not.
In addition to this, the go-between should carefully note the behaviour of the woman, which if favourable would be as follows: She would address her with a smiling look, would seat herself close beside her, and ask her, 'Where have you been? What have you been doing? Where did you dine? Where did you sleep? Where have you been sitting?' Moreover, the woman would meet the go-between in lonely places and tell her stories there, would yawn contemplatively, draw long sighs, give her presents, remember her on occasions of festivals, dismiss her with a wish to see her again, and say to her jestingly, 'Oh, well-speaking woman, why do you speak these bad words to me?', would discourse on the sin of her union with the man, would not tell her about any previous visits or conversations that she may have had with him, but wish to be asked about these, and lastly would laugh at the man's desire, but would not reproach him in any way.
Thus ends the behaviour of the woman with the go-between.
When the woman manifests her love in the manner above described, the go-between should increase it by bringing to her love tokens from the man. But if the woman be not acquainted with the man personally, the go-between should win her over by extolling and praising his good qualities, and by telling stories about his love for her. Here Auddalaka says that when a man or woman are not personally acquainted with each other, and have not shown each other any signs of affection, the employment of a go-between is useless.
The followers of Babhravya on the other hand affirm that even though they be personally unacquainted, but have shown each other signs of affection there is an occasion for the employment of a go-between. Gonikaputra asserts that a go-between should be employed, provided they are acquainted with each other, even though no signs of affection may have passed between them. Vatsyayana however lays it down that even though they may not be personally acquainted with each other, and may not have shown each other any signs of affection, still they are both capable of placing confidence in a go-between.
Now the go-between should show the woman the presents, such as the betel nut and betel leaves, the perfumes, the flowers, and the rings which the man may have given to her for the sake of the woman, and on these presents should be impressed the marks of the man's teeth, and nails, and other signs. On the cloth that he may send he should draw with saffron both his hands joined together as if in earnest entreaty.
The go-between should also show to the woman ornamental figures of various kinds cut in leaves, together with ear ornaments, and chaplets made of flowers containing love letters expressive of the desire of the man, 3 and she should cause her to send affectionate presents to the man in return. After they have mutually accepted each other's presents, then a meeting should be arranged between them on the faith of the go-between.
The followers of Babhravya say that this meeting should take place at the time of going to the temple of a Deity, or on occasions of fairs, garden parties, theatrical performances, marriages, sacrifices, festivals and funerals, as also at the time of going to the river to bathe, or at times of natural calamities, 4 fear of robbers or hostile invasions of the country.
Gonikaputra is of opinion however that these meetings had better be brought about in the abodes of female friends, mendicants, astrologers, and ascetics. But Vatsyayana decides that that place is only well suited for the purpose which has proper means of ingress and egress, and where arrangements have been made to prevent any accidental occurrence, and when a man who has once entered the house can also leave it at the proper time without any disagreeable encounter.
Now go-betweens or female messengers are of the following different kinds:
A go-between who takes upon herself the whole burden of the business
A go-between who does only a limited part of the business
A go-between who is the bearer of a letter only
A go-between acting on her own account
The go-between of an innocent young woman
A wife serving as a go-between
A mute go-between
A go-between who acts the part of the wind
A woman who, having observed the mutual passion of a man and woman, brings them together and arranges it by the power of her own intellect, such a one is called a go-between who takes upon herself the whole burden of the business. This kind of go-between is chiefly employed when the man and the woman are already acquainted with each other, and have conversed together, and in such cases she is sent not only by the man (as is always done in all other cases) but by the woman also. The above name is also given to a go-between who, perceiving that the man and the woman are suited to each other, tries to bring about a union between them, even though they be not-acquainted with each other.
A go-between who, perceiving that some part of the affair is already done, or that the advances on the part of the man are already made, completes the rest of the business, is called a go-between who performs only a limited part of the business.
A go-between who simply carries messages between a man and a woman, who love each other, but who cannot frequently meet, is called the bearer of a letter or message.
This name is also given to one who is sent by either of the lovers to acquaint either the one or the other with the time and place of their meeting.
A woman who goes herself to a man, and tells him of her having enjoyed sexual union with him in a dream, and expresses her anger at his wife having rebuked him for calling her by the name of her rival instead of by her own name, and gives him something bearing the marks of her teeth and nails and informs him that she knew she was formerly desired by him, and asks him privately whether she or his wife is the best looking, such a person is called a woman who is a go-between for herself. Now such a woman should be met and interviewed by the man in private and secretly.
The above name is also given to a woman who having made an agreement with some other woman to act as her go-between, gains over the man to herself, by the means of making him personally acquainted with herself, and thus causes the other woman to fail. The same applies to a man who, acting as a go-between for another, and having no previous connection with the woman, gains her over for himself, and thus causes the failure of the other man.
A woman who has gained the confidence of the innocent young wife of any man, and who has learned her secrets without exercising any pressure on her mind, and found out from her how her husband behaves to her, if this woman then teaches her the art of securing his favour, and decorates her so as to show her love, and instructs her how and when to be angry, or to pretend to be so, and then, having herself made marks of the nails and teeth on the body of the wife, gets the latter to send for her husband to show these marks to him, and thus excite him for enjoyment, such is called the go-between of an innocent young woman. In such cases the man should send replies to his wife through the same woman.
When a man gets his wife to gain the confidence of a woman whom he wants to enjoy, and to call on her and talk to her about the wisdom and ability of her husband, that wife is called a wife serving as a go-between. In this case the feelings of the woman with regard to the man should also be made known through the wife.
When any man sends a girl or a female servant to any woman under some pretext or other, and places a letter in her bouquet of flowers, or in her ear ornaments, or marks something about her with his teeth or nails, that girl or female servant is called a mute go-between. In this case the man should expect an answer from the woman through the same person.
A person, who carries a message to a woman, which has a double meaning, or which relates to some past transactions, or which is unintelligible to other people, is called a go-between who acts the part of the wind. In this case the reply should be asked for through the same woman.
Thus end the different kinds of go-betweens.
A female astrologer, a female servant, a female beggar, or a female artist are well acquainted with the business of a go-between, and very soon gain the confidence of other women. Any one of them can raise enmity between any two persons if she wishes to do so, or extol the loveliness of any woman that she wishes to praise, or describe the arts practised by other women in sexual union. They can also speak highly of the love of a man, of his skill in sexual enjoyment, and of the desire of other women, more beautiful even than the woman they are addressing, for him, and explain the restraint under which he may be at home.
Lastly a go-between can, by the artfulness of her conversation, unite a woman with a man even though he may not have been thought of by her, or may have been considered beyond her aspirations. She can also bring back a man to a woman, who, owing to some cause or other, has separated himself from her.
1 The wife of the sage Gautama, she was seduced by Indra the king of the Gods.
2 The heroine of one of the best, if not the best, of Hindoo plays, and the best known in Sanscrit dramatic literature. It was first brought to notice by Sir William Jones, and has been well and poetically translated by Dr Monier Williams under the title of Sakoontala, or the lost ring, an Indian drama, translated into English prose and verse from the Sanscrit of Kalidasa.
3 It is presumed that something like the following French verses are intended:
Quand on a juré le plus profond hommage,
Voulez vous qu'infidèle on change de langage;
Vous seul captivez mon esprit et mon coeur
Que je puisse dans vos bras seuls goûter le bonheur;
Je voudrais, mais en vain, que mon coeur en délire
Couche oû ce papier n'oserait vous dire.
Avec soin, de ces vers lisez leurs premiers mots,
Vous verrez quel remède il faut à tous mes maux
Or these:
Quand on vous voit, on vous aime;
Quand on vous aime, oû vous voit on?
4 It is supposed that storms, earthquakes, famines and pestilent diseases are here alluded to.

Camp Fire relief winds down; churches 'still here'
by David Roach/California Baptist, posted Tuesday, July 09, 2019 (6 months ago)
Tags: California wildfires
PARADISE, Calif. (BP) -- Months after the deadliest wildfire in state history destroyed her home, an 86-year-old woman in Northern California's Butte County was forced to leave her temporary residence at Motel 6 when her federal aid expired. So she asked Magalia Pines Baptist Church in Magalia for help.
Magalia (Calif.) Pines Baptist Church responded to November's deadly Camp Fire by serving 300-500 meals per day to the community, including a Christmas Eve dinner with hundreds of pounds of brisket.
File photo from Facebook
That very day someone donated a fifth-wheel trailer to the church, and members began setting it up on her property as a temporary residence.
"There are a thousand stories like that," Magalia Pines Pastor Doug Crowder said, referencing both needs in the community and God's supernatural provision.
The Camp Fire scorched some 240 square miles last November, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, leaving at least 85 people dead and destroying nearly 20,000 structures. Formal relief efforts are winding down, but local churches say needs remain great. Attempting to meet those needs, they say, has left them challenged but also with a sense of God's presence and power.
Now area churches are determining whether they have the resources to persist in helping communities recover.
"I don't know what tomorrow holds," said Robert Sorensen, pastor of Paradise Ridge Southern Baptist Church in Paradise, a town of 27,000 people that was nearly destroyed by the Camp Fire. He described the community as "kind of like a third-world country."
Mike Bivins, California Southern Baptist Convention (CSBC) Disaster Relief director, said disaster relief chaplaincy efforts following the fire transitioned in January to a ministry of assisting homeowners with personal property recovery. Between January and March, disaster relief volunteers helped recover valuables and personal items at more than 300 sites.
"Almost every single home we helped with, the Holy Spirit was there with us," Bivins said. "You could sense it. You could feel it. The people who assisted felt compelled to do more."
By April, many burned homes had been cleared by work crews. So disaster relief volunteers focused on removing trees from residents' property with chainsaws. All CSBC Disaster Relief work was completed by June.
Churches also are shifting their ministries as formal disaster relief work closes.
Magalia Pines phased down its feeding ministry from 750 meals per day to fewer than 200 as restaurants and stores reopened, Crowder said. Water has returned in Magalia. But while it was off, Magalia Pines was distributing 12 tons of bottled water per day at one point -- fueled by donations from across the country.
Donations of food, water, recreational vehicles, tools and other items began pouring in after a Baptist Press article in November reported on Crowder's harrowing rescue of some 30 locals from the fire.
Worship attendance at Magalia Pines is back to its pre-fire level of about 100 on Sunday mornings, though most attendees are new and many church members have moved out of the community.
"About 30 of the people who are here now were here before the fire," Crowder said, noting the church has seen seven baptisms in recent months. It's like they are "planting a church."
In Paradise, there still was no potable water by mid-June and electricity gets shut off in high winds to prevent another fire from downed power lines. Restarting regular church activities has proved difficult at Paradise Ridge, Pastor Sorensen said. The pre-fire worship attendance of 60-65 was down to eight one Sunday in June, and most church members have dispersed across the country.
His pastoral work includes sharing the Gospel with area residents and helping people move their trailers when officials force them to evacuate temporary parking places.
"It's been quite a ride," Sorensen said.
First Baptist Church in Paradise is letting evangelical churches of other denominations meet in its building as those sister congregations seek to rebuild. Following the fire, First Baptist closed the elementary school it operated. But in partnership with Magalia Pines, the school will reopen this fall as a campus of the Christian school operated by the Magalia church.
Charles Woods, director of missions for Sierra Butte Baptist Association, said a "coherent sisterhood of churches" in the association has been key to fire recovery.
"This particular situation has drawn us closer together," Woods said, "especially the churches in the area."
Emotional pain over the past seven months has been intense at times, Crowder acknowledged, but to see God's power manifested amid ministry, "it's so worth it."

"Healthy Churches" day
By Bradford North Circuit July 19, 2014
Do you remember the series of services which were delivered in all our churches by a team of preachers in early 2013? The sermons covered ‘Seven Marks of a Healthy Church’ and provided a scriptural context to the consultations which have followed.
Well, we have arranged for the author of the ‘Healthy Churches Handbook’, Canon Robert Warren, to come to the circuit to lead a one-day seminar called “Developing Healthy Churches”, which will help us to look at how we might make changes to the way we run our churches, in order to make them more attractive to outsiders and more ready to serve our neighbours. The seminar will take place on Saturday 20 September at St Andrew’s, Undercliffe from 10.00 am until 3.00 pm. Canon Warren, is a most inspiring speaker and his ideas are very stimulating.
If we are serious about building the kingdom of God in north Bradford, then we cannot afford to miss what Robert will say to us. If we do not think it important to build the kingdom, then why are we here? God speaks to us through many channels, and Robert Warren is without doubt one of them.
I urge you to put the date in your diary and encourage anyone else who has a heart for God’s kingdom, to put the date in their diary. Saturday 20 September.
More details and booking forms will be available throughout August and into September. This could be a significant event in the life of our circuit. Please do not miss out!

The Copenhagen Review
Issue Eight, February 2016 | Previous Issues & Publications | Facebook
Marriage in Copenhagen
Welcome to this, the Octave Issue, of The Copenhagen Review. Beginning in the smoky conviviality of a Copenhagen cafe, in 2007, TCR has brought the writers we like: Nobel Prize winners (who have approved our translations and given us permission) and the less famous, in a mix intended to inspire and enrich the lives of our readers.
Our efforts here have taken place in five languages, Danish, English, German, Norwegian and Swedish. Not everything is translated from one language into four. In fact, we have never done this. We improvise. Some poems might be translated into English from German or Danish, some might be translated into Swedish. And so forth. Sometimes you have to know all the languages to understand everything. In other words, The Copenhagen Review has always been and continues to be a magazine from the perspective of Copenhagen not New York; and most of literary Copenhagen can read English, German, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.
As well as bringing contemporary writers of fiction and poetry, we have also cast our nets into the seas of the past, bringing forth translations of Novalis, Goethe, Steffens and others. And we have permitted ourselves a flexible approach to how long we let an issue exist before allowing it to succumb to the exciting glow of a new issue.
In assembling our eighth issue, we are happy to present a new language, Italian, with the poems of Modena writer and literary man, Andrea Gibellini. Sissal Kampmann is from the Faroe Islands. We bring a number of excerpts, for the first time in English and Danish, from 4 D, her most recent collection. Another poet, perhaps our very favorite, (but let us control our enthusiasm) is the Irish (Belfast) poet Medbh McGuckian who has loyally contributed to us over the years. We bring her marvelous poem, Transmission of the Letter S. In addition to poetry there are several reviews, both of art events and of books. And finally, we bring a short story by New Orleans born writer, Amelie Prusik.
A special thanks to Christopher Sand Iversen, whose growing role in TCR, both as contributor and web-man, merits the designation, indispensable.
We call this issue a cumulative issue, meaning that we are still open to a few more contributions of the highest quality. This is an experiment consonant with the spirit of this improbable endeavor.
Thanks to our language checkers, Gesine, Emeli, Anni and Innana.

Common Reveals That He's Ready To Be A Husband During "Red Table Talk" Visit
Common's ready to get his love locked down.
Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk always has its guests either shedding years, revealing all or gaining all kinds of inspiration from the variety of heavy topics that get discussed around the red table. The latest guest to be subject to the latter is none other than Common, who opened up about his desire to one day be a husband.
Jada referenced his specific want after reading his memoir, Let Love Have The Last Word, that was recently released to the world. “You said in the book also that you’ve accomplished everything but that you’re not a husband,” Jada said in the clip shared to Facebook.
“Yeah, that’s.. I would like to be a husband. Now I think that I just want that partnership. To be able to experience life where I’m growing as a human being and it’s fun too," he responded.
Common previously chatted with The Breakfast Club about his former dating patterns.
"The pattern I found myself in—and my therapist broke it down—was the feeling of being in love and that honeymoon period. I was addicted to that feeling,” he said. “When that feeling would go away and the real part of the relationships came, I was like, ‘OK. Do I want this or not?’ I wasn’t ready to do the work."
