The Legal Process and the Promise of Justice
Studies Inspired by the Work of Malcolm Feeley
Part of Cambridge Studies in Law and Society
Rosann Greenspan, University of California, Berkeley
Hadar Aviram, University of California, Hastings College of the Law
Jonathan Simon, University of California, Berkeley
Jonathan Simon, Hadar Aviram , Rosann Greenspan, Issa Kohler-Hausmann, Kay L. Levine, Volkan Topalli, Shauhin Talesh, Eric A. Feldman, David T. Johnson, Setsuo Miyazawa, David Nelken, Ashley T. Rubin, Lawrence M. Friedman, Lauren B. Edelman, Paul Frymer, Christine B. Harrington, Menachem Hofnung, Terence C. Halliday, Mark Fathi Massoud, Edward L. Rubin, Kim Lane Scheppele
Malcolm Feeley, one of the founding giants of the law and society field, is also one of its most exciting, diverse, and contemporary scholars. His works have examined criminal courts, prison reform, the legal profession, legal professionalism, and a variety of other important topics of enduring theoretical interest with a keen eye for the practical implications. In this volume, The Legal Process and the Promise of Justice, an eminent group of contemporary law and society scholars offer fresh and original analyzes of his work. They asses the legacy of Feeley's theoretical innovations, put his findings to the test of time, and provide provocative historical and international perspectives for his insights. This collection of original essays not only draws attention to Professor Feeley's seminal writings but also to the theories and ideas of others who, inspired by Feeley, have explored how courts and the legal process really work to provide a promise of justice.
Offers international perspectives on issues formerly studied only in the context of the United States
Sheds new light on lower courts scholarship
Provides a one volume introduction to a core set of socio-legal research areas that share a common concern with legal process
'Malcolm Feeley’s writings about America’s contradictory crime wars and criminal justice reform efforts are essential elements of modern criminology. The contributors to this volume take Feeley’s thinking in new and innovative directions that no student or scholar of our continuing predicament will want or can afford to miss. A guide to a futuristic Feeleyian criminology!' John Hagan, John D. MacArthur Professor Professor of Sociology and Law, Northwestern University, Illinois
'An extraordinary collection of insightful studies that follow the steps of Malcolm Feeley in relation to the legal process and the promise of justice. It explores the vibrant legacy of this brilliant scholar for the present and it will be a source of inspiration for the future theoretical and empirical developments in these key socio-legal themes, both inside and outside the English speaking contexts.' Máximo Sozzo, Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Argentina
'This festschrift for Malcolm Feeley, with contributions from eighteen distinguished scholars, provides powerful accounts of how lawyers and judges link policies of crime and punishment to fundamental problems of governing contemporary societies. Provocative and compelling, this collection confronts the current challenges to liberal democracies and the rule of law with trenchant, grounded analyses.' Susan S. Silbey, Leon and Anne Goldberg Professor of Humanities, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
'Far from being only a much deserved tribute to Malcolm Feeley, this book opens up new perspectives. By recalling the numerous insights of his scholarship, from The Process is the Punishment to debates on court reform or sociology of legal professionals, this rich array of scholars put these studies in perspective and demonstrate how fruitful his perspective is for socio-legal studies, in several national contexts. The same could even be said beyond that specific field, from the sociology of organizations to public policy analysis.' Liora Israël, École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris

Lost For Words - Stephanie Butland || Netgalley Review
You can trust a book to keep your secret . . . Loveday Cardew prefers books to people. If you look closely, you might glimpse the first lines of the novels she loves most tattooed on her skin. But there are things she'll never show you. Fifteen years ago Loveday lost all she knew and loved in one unspeakable night. Now, she finds refuge in the unique little York bookshop where she works. Everything is about to change for Loveday. Someone knows about her past. Someone is trying to send her a message. And she can't hide any longer. Lost for Words is a compelling, irresistible and heart-rending novel, with the emotional intensity of The Shock of the Fall and all the charm of The Little Paris Bookshop and 84 Charing Cross Road.
The sole reason I would have requested this book is because its a bookshop book. I haven't read one in a long time so I totally needed to get another one in the bag. Lost for Words follows Loveday Cardew who spends her days hiding in a quaint little bookshop in York with her larger than life boss Archie.
15 years ago, Loveday lost everything she knew and now she just takes it day to day. Lost for words follows the journey of Loveday in the modern day and 15 years ago to what happened to create the Loveday we know now. I liked the way it was written with the interjection of poetry. I found the only way for me to describe this was a story. It wasn't high impact, fast-paced nor full of that much drama (there were a few bits of tension though!!) It was a good read.
I feel like it just told a narrative, we spent time learning the characters - getting to know them and discovering what had happened to them in the past, and discovering not everything is as it seems. I liked the character of Loveday as she was feisty, prickly and likable. She had her guard up and for good reason, but people are drawn to her - and want to be let in.
Lost for words was a lovely read for the true book lovers out there, those who love books about books. I read this in a matter of hours so that's a sure fire sign I was drawn to this book.
Stephanie Butland is a writer, who is thriving after breast cancer. (She used to say she was a survivor, but that was a bit lacking in joie de vivre.)
Although she’d never have chosen it, her dance with cancer has changed her life in many positive ways. Now she is happier, healthier, and more careful with her precious life and the precious people and things in it.
Her writing career began with her dance with cancer, and now she is a novelist.
Aside from writing, she works as a speaker and trainer, and she works with charities to help raise awareness and money in the hope that cancer will soon be about as scary as a wart.
She lives in Northumberland.

Dirt 3 beautiful but doesn’t handle well (review)
Posted on June 30, 2011 by Gieson Cacho
By Patrick Cant
Racing game reviewer
Beautiful. Annoying. Thrilling. Irritating. Sloooowwwww.
These words all describe Dirt3 in equal measures. I’m a big fan of rally games, which never sold well here in the States, so the WRC games disappeared from the market and games such as the Dirt series replaced them. Instead of building a true rally game, most game makers make a “rally plus” game like this one.
It has rally stages mixed in with a whole host of other driving disciplines. You’ve got buggy racing, trophy trucks, rallycross, etc … . Which is fine, except in the case of Dirt3 they are fairly inconsistent. The rally stages are maddening. It’s one thing to make the cars difficult to handle on dirt or snow (as they would be), it’s another thing entirely to make the cars impossible to drift around corners. In a rally game, you should be able to countersteer through the corners, using the throttle to control the back end. Not so much with Dirt3.
And that makes no sense, because in the drift and gymkhana stages, you can quite easily drift the cars. But in the rally stages? Good luck with that. And the trophy trucks wallow in corners like they should, the dune buggies are jittery in the washboard sections like they should be, so
GORGEOUS GRAPHICS: The game is beautiful, no doubt. There are little nubbies on the tires. The dirt and snow fly up nicely from the track. It all looks fantastic. The cars are beautiful, and deform when you wreck them (and you will). The audio is quite good. You get different engine notes depending on how hard you’re punishing the vehicle, cars behind you buzz in your ear as they would do if they were hassling you to pass, so that’s all good.
The tracks are varied and interesting — abandoned factories, snowy wastes, a fancy parking lot on Monaco, the Kenyan outback. You name it; they all look good. There are some nice throwback rally cars from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, and they sound and look great.
A MONKEYWRENCH IN CONTROLS: But they just didn’t nail the handling, and that’s the only thing that should matter. I found myself wishing for my old PlayStation 2 World Rally Championship game.
One more element: The game is god-awfully slow. First off, because it’s a PlayStation 3 game, it took 30 minutes to download the pertinent updates, and load information onto the hard drive to cut download times. If these load times were “shorter” because of the forced download, I can’t imagine how bad it would have been without the preload. It. Takes. Forever.
Seriously, especially when you start the game, you will be re-racing early stages many, many times to get the feel of the handling. Each time you re-run a race, it takes a looooong time to restart. So, despite all the good elements of Dirt3, I have to give it a middling score. They got a lot of bits right (look, sound, variety etc. …) but fell down on the handling and the load times, two elements that really impacted my enjoyment of the game.
If you’ve got the patience for brutal load times and many, many practice runs, have at it. If not, maybe wait for the new Forza.

Crime Life Roleplay

New In Roleplay [READ THIS]
Crime Life Roleplay :: Crime Life R.P :: Guide :: Player's Guide

Role-playing-
In roleplaying, participants adopt and act out the role of characters, or parts, that may have personalities, motivations, and backgrounds different from their own. Roleplaying is like being in an improvisational drama or free-form theatre, in which the participants are the actors who are playing parts, and the audience.
A role-playing game is a type of game in which the participants assume the roles of characters and collaboratively create stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, they may improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games.
In Character-
In roleplaying games, In Character (or IC) refers to the world of the characters, rather than the world of the players. That is, a character talking to another character is an IC interaction, set within the IC world, while two players talking about a football game or their real lives is an Out of Character ('OOC') interaction.
Most online role-playing communities make allowances for the intrusion of "RL" (real life) by introducing standards of communication, such as insisting that all "OOC" comments are placed inside brackets, or given some prefix. For example, "(OOC) Blast, the phone's ringing again, I'll go and pull it out of the wall."
Out Of Character-
Out of Character (OOC) is a roleplaying term, referring to the world of the players, rather than the world of the characters. Actions in the game that are described from the point of view of the assumed character are referred to as In Character (IC). Actions or discussion of the character from the player's point of view are OOC.
Powergamer-
A powergamer is a player who tries to force others to participate in role-playing they don't want to engage in. For instance, a player who unilaterally describes his character as doing something with (or to) another character that would usually require the other to play along — such as having a fight or a sexual encounter — is considered to be powergaming
Metagaming-
In role-playing games, metagaming is the use of out-of-character knowledge in an in-character situation. A character played by a metagamer does not act in a way that reflects the character's in-game experiences and back-story.

About Chris BelchamberIndependent Trader in DC and Maryland
I have a Masters degree in Mathematics at Oxford University, England. I graduated in 1980.
1980 to 1984 I worked for a Life assurance company (Friends Provident) and a pensions consultancy (Noble Lowndes) as a computer programmer and actuarial trainee. In 1984 I worked for a British Stockbroker as an analyst. This company was taken over by Chase Manhattan.
I was hired by CSFB in London in 1986 as a bond analyst. This developed additionally into arbitrage trading on the UK government bond desk. I also wrote a 400 page book on the UK government bond market which was published by CSFB and subsequently in hardback version in the US.
In 1989 I was recruited by J.P.Morgan to run their UK government bond desk (Sales and Trading). This operation was struggling at the time and they were considering closing it. We managed to stabilize the business and continue operations on a modestly profitable basis. In 1990, I was given the additional responsibility of running the bank’s Sterling Fixed Income Investment Portfolio. Subsequently, I also joined the proprietary trading desk when it started in 1993, but left the UK desk to focus solely on position taking. During my time at J.P.Morgan I made substantial profits and was promoted to Managing Director.
In 1997 I resigned from the bank. My wife wanted to return to the US and I wanted to trade my own account.
In 2003 I started Chris Belchamber Investment Management LLC.

Conservatives have a two-step process to achieve a conservative Congress: First, keep the House and expand our numbers in the Senate. Second, put pressure on the Republican House majority to elect Jim Jordan Speaker to keep their promises on the Trump agenda going into 2020.
Forget The GOP: It’s Up To Conservatives To Nationalize The 2018 Midterm Election
Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman | 8/21/18
By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
As I see it, 2018 will likely be another Republican wipeout, like 2006, unless we conservatives nationalize the election by getting voters refocused on big conservative issues; building the wall, limiting immigration, religious liberty, rebuilding our national defense, reducing job-killing regulations, and getting tough on crime and illegal border crossing.
Richard Viguerie on the 2018 Congressional Midterms: ‘It Does Not Look Good for Conservatives’
Michael Patrick Leahy, Breitbart
“We’ve got to recognize there’s a wave coming that’s going to wipe out a lot of conservatives if we continue operating as we have been for the last year. We need to make major changes, and they’re within our control. We can nationalize the election. We can all play a role, whether it’s at the national level, the local level, or the state level,” Viguerie concludes.
Democrats ought to worry about the midterm elections
Jen Kerns, Fox News
When you combine the latest generic ballot developments with the Democrats’ botched post-2016 autopsy report – through which they revealed they have no message, confusing leadership, and no new ideas – any significant victory for Democrats in the midterms will be a very difficult task.

The missing mtDNA link in the southern route out of Africa
In order to substantiate the southern route hypothesis of the settlement of Australia, a link between Australia and coastal populations of Asia is needed. Australian mtDNA belongs largely to the same Out-of-Africa subclades M and N, but it is not clearly a branch of a more derived clade that would allow us to pinpoint a specific Eurasian location as a place of origin.
This paper makes the case that Australian mtDNA haplogroup M42 shares two polymorphisms with a set of Indian M sequences, suggesting more recent common ancestry between these Indians and Australians than the generic "Out of Africa" M. The simplest explanation for this is that the M42 ancestors of Australians ultimately originated in India, and were thus part of the "southern route" dispersal of humans from Africa.

Reconstructing Indian-Australian phylogenetic link.
Satish Kumar et al.
An early dispersal of biologically and behaviorally modern humans from their African origins to Australia, by at least 45 thousand years via southern Asia has been suggested by studies based on morphology, archaeology and genetics. However, mtDNA lineages sampled so far from south Asia, eastern Asia and Australasia show non-overlapping distributions of haplogroups within pan Eurasian M and N macrohaplogroups. Likewise, support from the archaeology is still ambiguous.
In our completely sequenced 966-mitochondrial genomes from 26 relic tribes of India, we have identified seven genomes, which share two synonymous polymorphisms with the M42 haplogroup, which is specific to Australian Aborigines.
Our results showing a shared mtDNA lineage between Indians and Australian Aborigines provides direct genetic evidence of an early colonization of Australia through south Asia, following the "southern route".

JACK DANIELS said...
The findings may be interesting but whether the general case is proven is another matter.
In the first instance, there is a substantial human fossil record in Australia that suggests an increasing trend towards gracility over time. Further, the mitochondrial DNA of Mungo Man pre-dates all known such DNA. The age of his skeletal remains is the subject of some controversy and there are estimates of 45,000 years at the lower bound and up to 60,000 years at the upper bound. Another issue concerns the finding of the cited polymorphisms and whether it is correct to assume that there is a necessary implication that they are shared by all Aboriginal people or that the only explanation would be as the result of migration from locations further west than India.
Indeed, it would be interesting if these polymorphisms were observed in other populations along the hypothesised ex Africa route.

Good point. this sounds lot like Terry. Where is MT M further west and Have you heard about Jwalapuram?.
"there are estimates of 45,000 years at the lower bound and up to 60,000 years at the upper bound".
50,000 years at the least seems to be the latest consensus.
"Another issue concerns the finding of the cited polymorphisms and whether it is correct to assume that there is a necessary implication that they are shared by all Aboriginal people".
The M42 haplogroup is very much a minority haplogroup in Australia, so doesn't necessarily represent an early arrival at all. Could easily be a later connection. The majority of Australian mt haplogroups are N-derived.

Australian Aborigines are composed of at least two major immigration events to Australia, one about 50 kya and a more recent one dating to 10 kya. Aborigines have had a long contact with their SE Asian neighbours and with the people from New Guinea. They are not quite an isolated people from 50 kya as many believe.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 11:26:00 am
I'd agree with your two migrations assessment but I'd place your 10k one a bit earlier, perhaps even 20k or beyond. I think it has a connection with the Kow Swamp type (dated 15k-20k) and/or with the edge-ground axe (associated with Hoabinhian?). These are probably in turn connected with a further push into the Pacific Ocean, to the Northern Solomons. Further I believe that any early 'Caucasian' connection between Europeans, the Aborigines and the Ainu is easily explained. You may care to look at my reasoning in the essay:

Matt Kibbe at Heartland: Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff - May 15, 2014
Convenient transportation has become a staple in today’s society, however, convenience is no longer enough. People need to have access to a ride in real time.
Every transportation service is coming up with apps so customers can track their busses and trains to better plan their trips. Unfortunately, delays and construction still plague the public transportation systems and are still not as reliable as it could be. Difficulty hailing cabs, in addition to their prices, have turned many away from using taxis. Having access to a ride at a moment’s notice is something that had not been perfected. Then, four years ago, Uber came along.
Bret Swanson, president of Entropy Economics LLC, recently joined our Jim Lakely, on The Heartland Daily Podcast to discuss Uber. He explained how Uber taps into the transportation market by offering drivers to people looking for a ride. The app gives customers access to Uber drivers in the area who can come pick up and drive them wherever they need to go.
Uber drivers who are online will show up on maps of customers and Uber will connect you with the closest driver. Riders have the choice of a Uber SUV, sedan, black car, or even regular taxi cab. Unlike with taxis, customers do not need to worry about cash or credit cards because payment is all taken care of through the app. Customers can also request a quote prior to requesting a ride or split their fare with a friend, all through the app. The best part of Uber: its about 50 percent cheaper than taxi cabs.
Uber was launched in San Francisco and in four years, it has expanded to not only 72 cities in the United States, but 39 countries. The company has also become wildly popular with investors, is now valued at $18.2 billion. Last summer, Uber even launched a service to request ice cream trucks in a select number of cities. Despite its popularity, the company is constantly offering discounts and promotions to continue to encourage people not only to get the app but actually use the service. Uber’s approach provides safe, convenient and cheaper options for everyone. However, there is one party that would disaggree: taxi cab drivers.
Taxi drivers all over the country have staged protests against Uber, arguing that their fares should be the same as those of taxis. Though Uber allows customers to request taxis through the app, most opt to select an Uber vehicle instead. Uber’s fares are calculated on a basic supply-and-demand algorithm. The more demand for drivers rises during the day, the more prices go up. Uber surcharges, but not always at rush-hour times like taxi cabs do. Some days you may only have to pay an extra 5 percent during rush hour, but have to pay an extra 25 percent at 2 p.m. The whole system utilizes the free market and weighs the value of each ride by how in demand it is at the time.

Tuesday Jam: Speak Sotto Voce and Carry a Big Banjo!
September 11, 2013 • Murphy Henry
Murphy Henry
No one provided a great title for the jam so we'll just see what develops as I write. [I just figured out the title. See below!]
We were nine students strong last night including Ron, who had driven all the way in from Arkansas to take some lessons and who stayed for the jam. He was leaving for home right after the jam (with his Monster Energy Drink in hand!) so I guess as I'm writing this he is still driving. Safe travels, Ron! We also had one guest, Mado, who is friends with Mark and Ellen. She loved listening to us and clapped ferociously after almost every song. It was great to have an audient!
Beginning student Betty Fisher was back for more jamming and she did even better than she did the first time. She had more confidence and played stronger. She said that coming to the jam had inspired her to practice even more. Yea! She played lead on the Big Three: Banjo in the Hollow, Cripple Creek, and Boil Them Cabbage Down and did extremely well. Again, we first played each tune all together and then we started the tune again and took separate breaks. Betty kicked off her tunes and took the last break, coming in for her second break in exactly the right spot. You know, being able to do that is a Much Bigger Deal than people think it is.
I told her after her excellent rendition of Cripple Creek that she had a very good teacher. (Casey is teaching her!) Betty said she agreed, and that Casey was one of the most patient people she had ever known. Of course, Bobby could not let that one go. He was sitting right beside me and I heard him say, sotto voce, "Not like some teachers I know." Of course I couldn't let THAT go, so I said, "Yeah, if she had been your teacher she'd have thrown you out on your a-- a long time ago." At which Bobby chuckled maliciously and said, "I knew I could get a cuss out of you." To which I replied, "Dammit, Bobby!" (Note: I've always wanted to use the phrase "sotto voce." Of course, when I first typed it, I misspelled it as "sotto voice." I've got just enough book learning to be dangerous....!" I'm glad I've never had to pronounce it. I might have got the "sotto" part right, but I never would have thought to pronounce "voce" as "voe-chee." Ah, I think I've got my blog title.....!!)
Splitting the breaks on Glendale Train is old hat now, so we've moved on to learning how to play Dueling Banjos as a group. Mark has been working on the lead guitar part, so he and I tried putting it together with the banjo, which always requires some tweaking since there are so many different arrangements out there. Once we had an idea of what we were doing, I asked the other folks to provide some rhythmic backup. It was a little hard to figure out where the rhythm should come in, but we managed it. I told Janet to work on remembering her lead guitar part and I'm sure Bobby will be right in there, also. The banjo break is an easy improv, so pretty soon we'll have everyone involved, which is how a jam should work.
And today, September 11, is Kasey's 13th birthday! So a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, KASEY! She was telling us last night that she'd had to get some teeth pulled in preparation for getting braces (or, rather, the 21st century equivalent of braces--something having to do with "invisible" something.) The first time, she said, she'd gotten "happy gas" so she'd didn't feel a thing. This time, though, they hadn't given her as much, so she could feel a thing, and what she felt was not pleasant. Naturally, I couldn't resist the opportunity to rag Ben about being too cheap to pay for "happy gas." I said, "I guess it was either the banjo or the "happy gas." (He'd gotten Kasey a Deering recently.) He laughed and said, "She's tough. A few hours after she had her teeth pulled she was home helping me can beets." Then Kasey said, "Yeah, but I didn't go to school the next day!"
I love our jam!
Gotta run. We'll be jamming again tonight! Y'all come!

Betty Fisher
Oh my! You guys are too generous. I am so loving this. I need to get a list of the songs you play so I can at least sing. (My singing voice ain’t pretty but it’s loud and it gives me something to do. I am SOOOOOOO loving these sessions. You are all so kind. (Except Ben who speeds up the tempo…..Ha. Just kidding.) It was so cool to meet Ben’s daughter and watch them play together.

Writing for Kids? Don't forget the Bows and Arrows
I generally read adult fiction, especially in the mystery genre. I stopped reading teen books when I finished the last Nancy Drew mystery back in junior high. But after hearing all the hype about a young adult book called "The Hunger Games," by Suzanne Collins, I decided to check it out to see why it was so popular.
Much like the "Twilight" trilogy, "The Hunger Games" has been translated into more than two dozen languages, has garnered positive reviews and is now a movie. So it has to be good, right?
But after reading only a few pages, I quickly learned this was not really a kids' book. The story features a 16-year-old girl named Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a very hungry, post-apocalyptic world. She volunteers to participate in the annual Hunger Games to replace her lottery-selected younger sister, Primrose. The games require that children between the ages of 12 and 18 must battle to the death every year to appease the government.
Only one will survive.
This is a kids' book?
It sounds more like a Grimm's fairy tale. Speaking of which, apparently, some parents today are refusing to read the old fairy tales to their kids because they're "too scary." These parents prefer to retell the stories with positive endings, hoping their children will learn a valuable lesson (instead of spending a sleepless night in Mommy and Daddy's bed.)
I can just imagine how they would rewrite the classic "The Three Little Pigs."
"The pigs work together to build their houses, then invite the Big Nice Wolf in for a vegetarian meal and a game of Candy Land. The end."
And how about "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?" Instead of having the evil stepmother chase Snow White from the castle, Snow White gives the ugly woman makeup tips, they bake an apple pie and start a special school for Little People.
And the dog from "Old Yeller" lives forever.
Goodness. The adult mysteries I read are much tamer than "The Hunger Games." While Katniss is trained to kill with a bow and arrow, most of the heroines in the books I read have a skill too, but instead of archery or swordfighting, they're more apt to bead or decoupage or scrapbook while they fight crime.
As for my own mystery series, I offer party tips, not how-to-stay-alive tips. And my protagonist only has to juggle party planning with murder solving. Poor Katniss struggles with getting enough food to eat while surviving killer teens. Sounds like I need to ratchet up the blood and guts and simmer down on the crafts and party tips.
My children's book, "The Code Busters Club," is about four children who solve a mystery by cracking codes, not skulls. Maybe I should rethink that and write about a kid who skips school, sneaks out at night, lies to his friends, smokes, hangs out in a graveyard, engages in witchcraft, runs away from home, pretends to be dead, breaks into a house, gets lost in a cave, nearly starves to death and plans to become a world-class robber when he grows up.
Oh wait. Mark Twain already wrote that book and called it "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."
And we let our kids read that?
What's the post-apocalyptic world coming to?

Vintage Lilli Ann Suits
One of the best American-made vintage suits labels is Lilli Ann, well-known for suits and coats from the late 1940s & 1950s. They were based in San Francisco but the Lilli Ann look is decidedly Parisian. Here's a bit of Lilli Ann eye candy for you!
Vintage clothing collectors seek out these wasp-waisted suits not only for their hourglass silhouettes, but also the luxury fabrics often labeled "loomed in Paris" or similar. They always have impeccable tailoring and extra details like the balloon peplum seen at left, which was a New Look motif carried into the 1950s. Especially elegant is the suit with ruched torso in middle view; because it's a lighter color, it's less likely to be found in wearable condition. We recently sold the exact suit seen at right, in three tones of latte brown.
This trio is equally posh, with unusual features. The suit at left is unique to see from Lilli Ann because its silhouette is sheath-like, rather than hourglass or a swing silhouette. That nipped-waist coat in the center's a fantastic silhouette, rarely found in the vintage clothing world. And the charming bow-accented suit at right has a rather girlish motif for business wear, in all French materials.
In the 1960s, Lilli Ann's looks turned a corner to keep up with the streamlined direction fashion was heading. Their new slogan "The world is yours" hoped to capture modern women's expanding horizons while dressing them as well as in the past. The company chose bolder colors, sleeker lines and eventually more obvious synthetics (like polyester and Ultra-Suede) as the 1970s approached.
Our website nearly always has a Lilli Ann gem or two available, and we're lucky to turn up more & more.

Photos: A new community asset in Lents
By: Sam Tenney in News, photo slideshows August 9, 2018 3:01 pm
Hundreds of people turned out for a celebration held Wednesday to mark the opening of the Asian Health and Service Center, a cultural, educational, health and social service hub in the Lents neighborhood. The three-story, 30,000-square-foot building contains treatment space for physical and behavioral health, the Asian Cancer Resource and Support Center, a 6,000-square-foot multipurpose room, a healing garden, and small multipurpose rooms for classes and group programs. The building also holds a ground-floor commercial space occupied by Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic.
The Holst Architecture-designed project was built by O’Neill/Walsh Community Builders, which broke ground in early 2017. The building features a distinctive metal sunscreen structure along the south façade consisting of prefinished aluminum attached to color-matched steel columns. The building’s southwest corner contains a three-story curtainwall system, which provides ample daylight for a stairway from the ground-floor lobby to the third-floor public spaces.
The building is one of four in the Lents Town Center urban renewal area to receive partial funding from Prosper Portland. Others include the now-complete Lents Commons and Oliver Station mixed-use projects as well as Woody Guthrie Place, a mixed-income apartment project now under construction.
The development team includes Asian Health and Service Center, Housing Development Center, Mark Sherman Consulting and Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic. The project team includes civil engineers KPFF Consulting Engineers, ABHT Structural Engineers, MEP engineers MFIA Inc., and NNA Landscape Architecture.
Visitors pause to read names from a donor wall in the building’s main stairwell, which is encased in a three-story curtainwall system.
The 6,000-square-foot multipurpose hall will be used throughout the day for community cultural events, daily meals for seniors, social gatherings, exercise classes, and health education programs.
A third-floor terrace features a movable storefront system for all-season use.
The building’s second floor contains office and meeting space for Asian Health and Services Center employees and volunteers.
The building has onsite surface and tuck-under vehicle parking spaces, and a small landscaped “healing garden” accessed from Southeast 91st Avenue provides a contemplative stopping place.
The building incorporates subtle references to traditional Asian architecture.

San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) (by Scott McKenzie) - Live Monterey Pop Festival 1967
Para este viernes, os traigo una canción que se convirtió en un himno para una generación y luego para un estilo de vida. Se trata del clásico "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" de Scott McKenzie
San Francisco - Scott McKenzie
"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" is a song, written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and sung by Scott McKenzie. It was written and released in June 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival.
McKenzie's song became an instant hit. The lyrics tell the listeners, "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair". Due to the difference between the lyrics and the actual title, the title is often quoted as "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)". "San Francisco" reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and was number one in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The single is purported to have sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The song is credited with bringing thousands of young people to San Francisco, California during the late 1960s.[citation needed]
In Central Europe, young people adopted "San Francisco" as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising against Soviet rule.[citation needed]
The song has been featured in several films, including Frantic, The Rock and Forrest Gump (Wikipedia).
A continuación la letra de la canción San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) escrita por John Phillips de The Mamas & the Papas y cantada por Scott McKenzie
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
If you come to San Francisco

Finally, the origin of Lt. Starbuck is told by #1 New York Times best-selling author Tony Lee! See how Starbuck became a Viper pilot, his first meeting with Apollo and why Adama treats him like a son - as he pieces together what really happened the night he was orphaned, and the name of the traitor who ordered it...[1]
Yahren 7322 — Umbra, Caprica
The attack on Umbra, Caprica is underway as Captain Adama and Tigh from battlestar Rylon engage the Cylon Raiders. While Rylon has scrambled additional Viper, Adama and Tigh on left to melee with the squadrons of enemy fighters.
During the engagement, Adama informs Tigh that Ila ferried Apollo and Athena to Rylon the moment the basestar appeared over Caprica. When Tigh notes Ila's pallor from the week prior, Adama reveals that Ila is pregnant with a boy, but have not yet decided on a name. Ila wants to name their newest son Zac, while Adama prefers Starbuck.
Engaging the phalanx of Raiders at 10-to-1 odds, Adama's fighter is shot down over the Forest of Thorns. Before Adama crash-lands, he orders Tigh to return to Rylon for reinforcements.
Adama extricates himself from his burning Viper's cockpit, only to be attacked by a lone, damaged Cylon Centurion.
Adama goads the Centurion to kill him, but the Cylon is attacked by a hurt, barefoot boy with a large tree limb.
The Cylon's left arm dangling at its side, Adama brings his laser pistol to bear and blows off the Centurion's head.
Adama recovers his ear piece, replying to Tigh's declarations over the communication channel. Adama informs Tigh that a kid saved him, and requests a med-ship for the kid.
Yahren 7322 — Battlestar Rylon
Rylon's medic speaks to Adama, whose left arm is restrained by a sling, about the boy's condition. Electronic feedback from the Centurion that the boy attacked has affected the boy's frontal lobe. Coupled with the post-traumatic stress, the boy will be an amnesiac at best; a nameless orphan along the three thousand other Umbran children that need homes.
Adama gives the boy a name: Starbuck. He feels that the boy who saved his life is a fighter, and Adama pledges to find him a home. The doctor signs off on the name and during the conversation Ila's pregnancy comes up, as well as a question of what they'll name his and Ila's boy. Adama has made his decision and agrees with his wife's decision in naming their boy Zac.
Yahren 7328 — Caprica
At Flight-Major Adama's home, teenagers Athena and Apollo are playing on the couch. Apollo is reenacting a Viper launch, but Athena claims that first-year cadets don't leave the classroom and asks her father to support that statement. She then states that when she's old enough, she'll join the academy in the aim of outranking Apollo.
Adama's house servant informs Adama that a boy is asking to see him: Starbuck.
Adama meets Starbuck at the front door. Starbuck asks Adama to sponsor his application to be a Colonial Pilot, as Starbuck hasn't a biological parent to do so. Starbuck didn't want to tell his foster parents until he had spoken to Adama about it.
Adama notes that he is honored, but strongly believes that the request should come from his adopted father. Starbuck is displeased, noting that "it's not like you owe me your life or anything," and speeds away on his turbocycle.
Apollo, having observed the conversation from an upper story window with Athena, tells her to stay behind while he pursues Starbuck.
Back home in "Lower Caprica" in a run-down domicile, Starbuck's foster parents react to Starbuck's conversation with Adama. Starbuck's foster father is livid at Starbuck going behind their backs on the request, but Starbuck counters that the request would have been agreed to, and the conversation would then move towards becoming a farmer—a vocation shared by his foster father's father, and down the line.
Starbuck's foster mother asks if this decision is prompted by something they did, but Starbuck is adamant that he always wanted to be a Colonial Warrior since the night he saved Adama in the Thorn forest.
Starbuck's foster father suggests that Starbuck to go for a ride, so that he may discuss with his wife. Starbuck agrees and leaves, encountering Apollo waiting outside the domicile. Apollo is displeased that Starbuck had disrespected Adama. In order to teach him a lesson, Apollo agrees to a turobcycle race. If Starbuck wins, Apollo agrees to convince Adama to sponsor Starbuck, but if Starbuck loses then Starbuck agrees to stick to agro farming and never bother Adama or his family again.
They head for the dirt track up the side of Mount Colicos for a no holds barred race.
During the start of the race, Apollo chides Starbuck for not knowing who his father was. Starbuck is enraged, telling the eldest son that were it not for his actions that fateful night, Apollo wouldn't have a father either. Apollo rebukes the comment, noting that "from what I heard, all you did was hit a toaster with a stick."
Apollo speeds ahead, throwing dirt in Starbuck's face. After insulting Apollo by asking if cheating is something taught at the Academy, Starbuck turns his turbocycle and strikes Apollo's cycle. During this act, a rock hits the side wheel rim and strikes Apollo's forehead.
Apollo is rendered unconscious on the turbocycle, and Starbuck acts quickly by jumping off his cycle and knocking Apollo off from his and onto the dirt path. Both cycles careen over the cliff and burn.
Meanwhile, Athena and Adama arrive at Mount Colicos, as Athena has informed her father of Apollo's plan to handle Starbuck in a race. Adama assures her that divulging this to him would be the least of Apollo's problems, and notes that the smoke they've seen could be the result of some accident.
On the dirt path, Apollo and Starbuck come across Athena and Adama. Apollo and Starbuck have since bonded over their experience, which Apollo informs his father about. After meeting Athena for the first time, Starbuck and the rest enter Adama's transport; Adama has been begrudgingly convinced to sign off on sponsoring Starbuck's Warrior application.
Yahren 7331 — Battlestar Pegasus
Cadet Starbuck first meets his flight instructor, Lieutenant Wyler, in battlestar Pegasus's hangar bay. Wyler informs Starbuck that it isn't his first time being shadowed by a cadet, and Starbuck shares with Wyler his enthusiasm for flying many Vipers over many years to come. Wyler's imparts that every pilot only ever flies three Vipers: the one he trains in, the one he escapes from, and the one he dies in.
Wyler introduces Starbuck to fumerellos for the first time, and imparts various bits of wisdom on the impressionable Starbuck in how to deal with women. When pressed, Starbuck admits to an affection for Athena, and that he views her in a different light than other women. Starbuck believes that impressing Athena is in earning more cubits, to which Wyler introduces Starbuck to gambling via pyramid to make "cubits work for you." He then pledges to take the young Starbuck under his wing in various rouge vices, believing that a Warrior is more than just fighting and flying: namely drinking, gambling and girls.
Starbuck celebrates becoming a Colonial Warrior following a ceremony witnessed by Adama, Athena, and Apollo. Apollo wryly notes that while he never doubted that Starbuck would become a warrior, he had doubted that Boomer and Jolly would have made it as well.
As Starbuck begins talking to Athena—noting that they haven't spoken in a while—Boomer interrupts and asks Starbuck if he had received his orders yet, noting that Jolly was assigned to Galactica. Starbuck replies that all three of the newly minted Warriors have, commenting that it's Apollo's plan to keep them on the straight and narrow.
Asking after Captain Wyler, Starbuck is informed by Adama about some sorrowful news: Wyler's patrol was ambushed by Cylon Raiders yesterday and no one had survived.
Starbuck leaves the ceremony to deal with his grief in the only way he knows how: gambling.
At a chancery frequented by both himself and the late Wyler, Starbuck plays with a man called McKintosh. In the course of the game, McKintosh learns of Starbuck's past, and taunts Starbuck with a tall tale that conflicts with the official story of that night. Claiming to be a truck driver ferrying agro goods from Umbra that night, McKintosh bets a data chip worn around his neck. This data chip is said to contain data that the defense net was disabled, thus allowing the Cylons to attack.
Despite fellow player Tycho's sentiments about Starbuck being played, Starbuck shows off his winning hand of full pyramid and wins the chip. He shares the remaining cubits from the pot by buying a round for the house, "courtesy of the late Captain Wyler."
Returning to Galactica a day later, Starbuck attempts to access the chip, only to find it corrupted.
Lieutenant Apollo meets up with Starbuck, checking to see if he is all right. Starbuck replies in the affirmative, placing the data chip in a box, under the lid to which features a photo of his foster parents—he notes that it was a shame that his foster parents couldn't make it due to harvest season.
Apollo offers to take Starbuck on his first patrol and, after gentle ribbing about Starbuck having changed his mind to become a farmer—Starbuck's idea of a nightmare—Starbuck gladly accepts the offer.
Launching from Galactica, Apollo offers his condolences on Wyler. Starbuck notes that Wyler died exactly as he had expected: in his third of the three Viper that all pilots will ever fly. They then race to the nearby binary star.
Nods
Mount Colicos is a nod to John Colicos, the actor who portrayed Baltar in the Original Series.
Wyler's "three Vipers a pilot flies in" axiom is noted (and originates from) Starbuck's comment in a piece of dialogue from "The Young Lords."
While the cover of this issue depicts Brie, Athena, Cassiopea and one of the Tucana singers, only Athena appears in this installment.
As with other entries in the Dynamite Entertainment comics, a mix of Re-Imagined Series and Original Series terminologies occurs:
This includes the use of the word "toaster" to describe a Cylon.
The backgrounds of the Viper bay on battlestar Pegasus are those of the hangar deck from the Re-imagined Series.
The left shoulder patches on Rycon and Pegasus Warrior uniforms are Galactica emblems; they should be different. This is a common error in most comic book depictions depicting officers and Warriors from other battlestars.
The Vipers depicted are visually more in line with the Re-imagined Series Mark II Viper than the Original Series counterpart.
Civilians wear contemporary clothing (modern suits with ties, vests, tank tops, red dresses, t-shirts) as opposed to the distinct Egyptian-esque clothing designed by Jean-Pierre Dorleac.
In dialogue between Starbuck and McKintosh, Starbuck erroneously states that the attack on Umbra was 15 yahrens ago. However, it was only 13 yahrens ago by that point in the story.
This issue features misogynistic acts of note, including:
A comment about Tigh needing to "stop being a girl" from Adama, after Adama destroys a pursuing raider that Tigh couldn't shake over Umbra.
Comments from Starbuck's flight instructor, Wyler, on how to be a ladies' man. Wyler believes that women like rogues and money, and that fumerellos (sic) are supposed to burn in order to "make your voice all grown up and manly."
Such misogyny appears to be the author's way of reconciling the male-centric behaviors in the Original Series, notably Starbuck's "roguish" behaviors.
Why did the Cylons attack Umbra?
What happened to Starbuck's biological parents? Were they indeed killed in the attack? (Answer)
How did the forest of Thorns get its name?
Who were the Commanders of Pegasus and Rylon during the time periods depicted in the story?
Were there other such attacks by the Cylons in the vein of the Umbra attack?
How were the Cylons able to bypass Colonial patrols to reach Caprica?
Noteworthy Dialogue
Wyler imparts advice upon a young Cadet Starbuck:
Wyler: Starbuck, a Viper pilot only flies in three Vipers. The one he trains in, the one he escapes from, and the one he dies in. Remember that.
Wyler on being a Colonial Warrior:
Wyler: Oh, Starbuck—I'm going to teach you everything about being a warrior. Not just the flying—any fool can do that. I mean, the drinking, the gambling, the girls!

Mount Lorette and Beaver Mines, March 15
March 15 [Day 14] (Blake Weis, assisted by Caroline Lambert) 0745-1310 (Hay Meadow), 1340-1850 (Barrier Lake Dam). The temperature at 0745 was 1C and the high was 5C at 1200 and 1300. Ground winds were mainly S 0-5 km/h to 1000 then 5-10 gusting 15 km/h, while at the Barrier Lake dam they were 10-15 gusting 25 km/h. Ridge winds were light S-SW to 1100 and then moderate to strong for the rest of the day. Cloud cover was 100-80% stratus at Hay Meadow and 50-90% stratus at Barrier Lake. The eastern ridges were 60-100% obscured to 1310 and light to moderate rain fell continuously. At 1310 the observers decided that they were wet enough and decided to relocate to the dam at the northern end of Barrier Lake which was just beyond the rain front. At the Hay Meadow site the first Golden Eagle was seen at 1051 and before the site was abandoned 13 Golden Eagles (7a, 2j, 4u) were recorded, most of which were seen over Mount Lorette and only 1 at the northern end of the Fisher Range. At Barrier Lake the count was 2 adult Bald Eagles, 16 Golden Eagles (8a, 1sa, 1j, 6u) and 4 unidentified eagles that were moving to the NW from the highest foothills ridge. These were birds that would normally have been seen from the nearby Lusk Creek site. Other birds seen at Hay Meadow were 2 Grey Jays, 14 Common Ravens, 4 Mountain Chickadees , 2 Boreal Chickadees, 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch and 1 American Dipper.

Winds were WSW-W all day 30-50 gusting up to 63 km/h, but dropped below 40 km/h for the last 2 hours. Cloud cover was 70-100% altostratus, cumulus and altocumulus for most of the day with the exception of 1500 and 1600 when it thinned to 40-60%, that gave excellent observing conditions all day. There was a strong raptor movement with a season high 178 migrants of 8 species moving between 1030 and 1855 The count was 13 Bald Eagles (12a, 1j), 1u Northern Goshawk, 1 adult light morph calurus Red-tailed Hawk (which was the last bird of the day at 1855), 5 light morph Rough-legged Hawks, a season high 154 Golden Eagles (152a, 1sa, 1j), 2 columbarius Merlins (1 adult female and 1u), 1 adult, probable male, grey morph Gyrfalcon and 1 Prairie Falcon. The main movement was between 1100 and 1400 when 95 birds were seen, with a high hourly count of 48 birds (4 Bald and 44 Golden Eagles) between 1200 and 1300. Movement then slowed but remained steady over the next 3 hours and picked up again at the end of the day with 19 birds moving between 1700 and 1800 and 25 between 1800 and 1855. The total of 178 is the third highest at the site after the 463 (429 Golden Eagles) counted on March 19, 2005 and the 197 (156 Golden Eagles) counted on the following day. A male Mountain Bluebird at 1236 was the first for the year.

Home » Business Articles » Start-Rite Shoes asks parents to donate their children’s unwanted shoes in new charity scheme
Start-Rite Shoes has joined forces with footwear charity Shoe Aid in a new initiative that aims to help the environment, as well as under-privileged children, by encouraging parents to donate their children’s old or unwanted shoes.
The campaign will support Shoe Aid’s goal of reducing shoe poverty and footwear waste by limiting the number of shoes that are put into land fill each year, while providing shoes for children who, either don’t have access to suitable footwear, or help parents who can’t afford correctly fitted shoes.
Start-Rite and Shoe Aid branded recycling points will be set up across the country in Start-Rite stockists where families can easily donate their unwanted shoes.
Start-Rite Shoes CEO, Kate Tansley, said: “With thousands of children wearing ill-fitting shoes in the UK, we are asking parents and guardians to donate to an extremely worthy cause. The figures are hugely concerning, and it is more important than ever that we all do our bit to help children and protect the environment. And, it really is easy, simply pop them in the shoe collection box in store”.
Shoe Aid Founder Lee Todd said: “We spend a great deal of time educating children on the importance of recycling and re-using old and unwanted footwear. We’re delighted to have Start-Rite on board to support us in this challenge and help raise awareness of shoe poverty that affects millions of children both in the UK and across the world”.

Heng oakes curled madam
1868-1940 French Edouard Vuillard Galleries Jean-Edouard Vuillard, the son of a retired captain, spent his youth at Cuiseaux (Saone-et-Loire); in 1878 his family moved to Paris in modest circumstances. After his father\'s death, in 1884, Vuillard received a scholarship to continue his education. In the Lycee Condorcet Vuillard met Ker Xavier Roussel (also a future painter and Vuillard\'s future brother in law), Maurice Denis, musician Pierre Hermant, writer Pierre Veber and Lugne-Poe. On Roussel\'s advice he refused a military career and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he met Pierre Bonnard. In 1885, Vuillard left the Lycee Condorcet and joined his closest friend Roussel at the studio of painter Diogene Maillart. There, Roussel and Vuillard received the rudiments of artistic training.

Thriller Psychological
Connecting the dots between you and a stranger can be a dangerous game to play
Jake Buchanan is a successful writer with an eight-year-old daughter and an imploding marriage. When he gets on a plane and discovers an instant connection with seatmate Clara Stowe, he's delighted. But when Clara confesses that she's going to Colorado to kill herself, Jake searches frantically for a way to convince her not to go through with her plan.
The Dead Girl in 2A is the story of what happens to Jake and Clara after they get off that plane and the manipulative figure from their childhoods that has brought them together decades later. Intensely creepy, beautifully written, and full of Carter Wilson's signature whom-can-you-trust paranoia, this is a psychological thriller unlike any you've read before.

As coal company profits fell, mining firms rewarded executives handsomely energy journal trib.com electricity estimated bills
30.10.2018 Gasolina
"’I have to give Cloud Peak’s management some credit,’ said Williams-Derry, the Sightline analyst. ‘They probably felt they were missing out on the party. But by not taking on massive debt, they’ve protected shareholders, bond holders and other stakeholders.’"
Shareholders, bondholders, and other stakeholders? Any interview or assessment of one of the 100 Miners who were fired when "the market downturn ultimately caught up with the company"? 12 million dollars to the ceo during the two years prior to "the market downturn"?
Is the article blaming executive leadership or market downturn? Seems a little biased in the don’t-worry-Powder-River-is-great direction when the article turns to the assessment of Cloud Peak Energy (after slaying Arch Coal, Peabody Energy, and Alpha Natural Resources), considering Cloud Peak Energy had a 500 million dollar swing between profit and loss. 205 million dollar loss in 2015? THE NEXT PARAGRAPH quotes, almost unbelievably (except that it’s almost unbelievable that we accept this as believable), "its relatively healthy balancesheet".
Grey areas abound, I know. Pay scales and unions and markets and who did right by whom and who shat on the little guy and how 150 years of American capitalist history have played out rather than the microcosm of the past five years and yet the sheer size and weight of contemporary global business are complexities and complications beyond most of our educational levels.
Not too mention areas of import, propaganda, and neglect such as health, art, education, economics, infrastructure, and politics that take their continual toll on our communities, thrice locally, nationally, and worldly. But sociological, anthropological, philosophical, and cultural concerns and studies are online comment theses for another day.
Hypocrites blame others, yet recuse themselves from the same accountability. While it’s easy to criticize others, how many of you have the morality and ethics to examine your own selves, and your own personal actions? Sure, everyone can find an excuse for their actions, and lack of accountability. I’m sure these CEO’s and Executives can easily justify their compensation.
How many of you would turn down a large salary, if offered to you? Even if it meant you would be paid more than your co-workers, or neighbors. If your boss came to you and said he was going to double your salary, just because, while still paying your co-workers their same old salary, how many of you would turn that offer down, or share that windfall? Not many, rest assured. Most every single one of you would take the offer, in spite of fairness or equality.
Wyoming coal miners make, on average, $82,654 per year. The national average for coal miners is only $82,058, so Wyoming coal miners make more than the national average. The average salary for all industries, statewide in Wyoming, is only $44,699. So Wyoming coal miners make 185% more than the average worker in the state. But I’m sure coal miners can justify their own inflated salaries, in spite of all other Wyoming workers.
Coal miners are doing to everyone else in the state, what coal CEO’s and Executives are doing to their own workers. Do coal miners feel bad about making so much more than the state average? Any excuse that coal miners can think up for excusing their own compensatory privileges, coal CEO’s and Executives can find and use the exact same excuses.
This is hypocrisy, at it’s very core. People will hate and insult this post, simply because of the truth it holds, the truth does hurt. Every single person needs to evaluate themselves before evaluating and criticizing others. Put yourself under the microscope first, people.
Interesting this criticism towards coal Executives was largely absent with better times. Coal miners tolerated these inflated executive salaries during boom times, so they have only themselves to blame. If you ignore or tolerate injustice, you must be willing to accept the subsequent consequences. Your actions (or lack thereof), must assume just as much responsibility. The miners were willing to work for these guys and companies, and support them, now they must accept the outcomes of your turning a blind eye previously. Close to 95% of Wyomingites claim affiliation to some "christian" religion. So what of those supposed words by your messiah – "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (John 8:7). This demonstrates the foundations of corruption and greed. The corrupt and greedy pay their entourage handsomely to protect their system of greed & corruption. That handsome payment ensures silence, and compliance by the underlings in the entourage. People are willing to protect & defend their bosses, or politician, as long as they personally get something of worth in exchange for their cooperation, without regard for all others. Guaranteed the remaining coal miners are not threatening to quit, or strike, in solidarity of their now jobless colleagues. No, they will find reasons and excuses as to why they themselves are still employed, and still making almost double the average salary of all workers. As long as they still get theirs.

Eric's Plant World
The photo below, and most of the others in this blog were taken by Eric Lucas.
Stephan Endlicher
We are now blooming a gorgeous clump-forming perennial in one of our troughs – Pelargonium endlicherianum, and the above photo was taken by our office manager Eric Lucas on his smart phone. Thankfully it survived our cold winter, and the west Asian “geranium” is showing off magnificently. It is considered the most winter-hardy species of the genus, but the gardener is advised to avoid too much water in the winter (Alpine Garden Society, August 2013). Our species – there are about 280 others, mainly in South Africa – comes from Turkey and Syria and what the heck: it was deluged with water this past winter and spring but survived perfectly. We annually suffer many disappointments and failures in our horticultural profession, so it is particularly refreshing when a species thrives. The generic name originates from Greek pelargos for “stork,” due to the resemblance of the seed vessels to a stork's bill. The specific name endlicherianum should be familiar to many in horticulture, for it honors Stephan Endlicher (1804-1849), the brainy Austrian botanist who formulated a major system of plant classification.*
Chief Sequoyah
*Go ahead and look up Sequoia in any plant reference book and you will see that the name was coined by Endlicher. Even though he was appointed Professor of Botany at the University of Vienna, he exhausted his resources buying botanical collections and books, and spent money publishing his own and others' writings...but ultimately he blew his brains out in despair at age 44. Too bad he's not still around to explain, for it was assumed that he named the Sequoia redwood (in 1847) to honor Chief Sequoyah's invention of the Cherokee syllabary (alphabet). However, the Chief never saw the Sequoias, neither the sempervirens species nor the giganteums, and neither did botanist Endlicher. Now it appears that Endlicher was thinking of the Latin word for “sequence.” Oops.
Magnolia 'Elizabeth'
Many companies establish hard rules about employee internet use – they don't want their workers spending time on porn sites, for example. Eric has free reign, however, and we frequently catch him on plant sites, so we allude to his “plant-porn” addiction. In years past Eric would send money to the old mail-order plant nurseries and he still grows many of their offerings at his North Plains, Oregon homestead. He was probably the first gardener in Washington County to acquire Magnolia 'Elizabeth' – from Oregon's Gossler Farm and Nursery – and that was twenty years before he ever came to work at Buchholz Nursery.
Sarracenia species
The closeup on the right shows a Sarracenia which is home to the Crab Spider. The spider waits for the pitcher to attract prey with its nectar, then pounces on the cranefly and pulls it into the trap and takes what it wants and leaves the remaining for the plant.
Japanese Iris
Eric is handsomely over-paid at his job, but nevertheless we appreciate his plant enthusiasm. He helped us to acquire a carnivorous plant collection which sits in front of the office. While we don't propagate or sell them, they are still a source of amazement to nursery visitors as well as to our employees. I recently cut a bouquet of Japanese iris to celebrate my daughters' beautiful dance recital, and rising above the purple iris I placed two Sarracenia flava pitchers, with a note of appreciation tucked into the throats. The iris were gorgeous but pooped out in a week, but going on a month now the Sarracenias still look fresh. Eric bulges big eyes when he reads about carnivorous plants, about how they interact with the insect world, and he constantly marvels about how plant reality is more fantastic than any fiction.
A lot of things wouldn't happen at Buchholz Nursery without help – and I'm not talking about the physical help of pruning, staking, shipping etc. I mean the addition of enthusiasm, and before Eric's employ I received very little enthusiasm about plants from my employees. Most have been hard workers – or they were kicked out! – and General Manager Seth is brilliant at what he does, but Eric is a true CPN* and he has led us down some wonderful paths. Many years ago I acquired my first Pleiones, but they were only a time-consuming hobby, even though they did contribute to a great wedding photo with my wife. I despaired when she spent a full day dividing and potting up the rootless bulbs, only to have a mindless employee jet them out of their pots by watering sideways. Tearfully, Haruko repotted them but we lost much of the all-important identification. Then, before we knew what we were doing, Haruko suddenly produced two children and our Pleione passion lagged. A few bulbs were kept, and bloomed, but the damn things only reminded me about my limitations, for I didn't have the energy to keep the nursery afloat, to pet the dog and the kids, and to also deal with the non-profitable bulbs.
*CPN= Certified Plant Nerd
Pleione 'Riah Shan'
Pleione formosana 'Tongariro'
But...Eric to the rescue! He not only revitalized the Pleione collection, but he has also expanded it. We are now actually selling them and they are finally paying their way. Most of the Pleione commerce in the world is cash for bulbs. Perhaps because of my sad experience with my irrigation crew, I decided to only sell potted plants, so for a modest price the home gardener receives an established plant with the potential of multiple blooms. Eric oversees our project, and he advises when to plant, water, fertilize etc. Without his frequent supervision we would screw it all up like before. He's having great fun, but a year ago when he paid more money than the GNP of many third-world countries on new bulbs from England, I had to gulp and steady myself. But, after they bloomed this past spring I wanted to hug the sweaty old geezer. That is what I mean by “help” – help me to have fun by you doing the dirty work.
Cardiocrinum giganteum
Tomitaro Makino
I have long admired the Cardiocrinum genus – the “Giant Himalayan Lily” – and my first encounter was in British Columbia at the UBC Botanical Garden in their Asian section. On a long-ago October day I could only marvel at the seed pods which adorned brown stalks twelve feet in the air. Later, when I saw some specimens in flower I was hooked. The plant was first described scientifically by Nathaniel Wallich in 1824, but it took until the 1850's before bulbs were exhibited in England, then known as Lilium giganteum. Later the name was changed to Cardiocrinum, derived from Greek kardia for “heart” due to leaf shape and krinon, Greek for “lily.” The great Japanese botanist Makino christened the lily as Cardiocrinum mirabile, and the literati knows mirabile dictu as “wonderful to relate” or “amazing to say.” Amazing indeed when you see a tall rod adorned with twenty sweet-smelling white trumpets. My first start came from somewhere – the records were lost – but never would it bloom. Hanging out in GH20 was not to its liking apparently, and the flower bud would always rot. Eric admonished me to “get it out of the greenhouse!” – and he said so in a most Trumpian manner. I resented him as a know-it-all, but since I had nothing to lose I did as I was told. To our delight it bloomed the following summer, and he took it as proof that he deserved a pay raise. But seriously...
Cardiocrinum seed
Thanks to Eric, though, we planted the seed – amazing little wafers that they are – and a good number germinated. This spring we will have fat little one-gallon pots to sell, and you had better get your order in early! Far Reaches Nursery in Washington state collected seed in the wild and one bloomed pink instead of the usual cream white. One of their customers demanded to know how the seedling offspring would also bloom pink, not white. The proprietors responded that they couldn't guarantee a pink flower, but then it might also bloom red. Ha!, the woman bought the plant anyway. And so did we but our offspring also bloomed white.
Spiraea morrisonicola
Bunzo Hayata
Eric planted a trough with Sempervivums, Jovibarbas and in the center he placed the dwarf Spiraea morrisonicola. The “Mt. Morrison Bridal Wreath” is a delight when in bloom, and our only complaint is that it went to seed in the trough and threatened to take over. But after it bloomed this past June we pruned it back to the soil level, and we'll look forward to it showing off again next year. I know that most snob gardeners will poo poo any Spiraea, but our start came from Far Reaches Nursery in Washington state, and they are known as consummate snobs with a nursery that backs it up. The choice species was first described by Bunzo (really!) Hayata (1874-1934), a Japanese botanist noted for his taxonomic work in Japan and Taiwan. The species was once known as Spiraea japonica Linnaeus var. morrisonicola Hayata, and is just one of hundreds of interesting plants to be found on Mt. Morrison (now known as Yushan, or “Jade Mountain”). Spiraea is a genus in the family Rosaceae, so it is related to apples, rowans and a whole lot more. At one time the Filipendula genus was lumped in with Spiraea, but no more (Rosoideae instead). Acetylsalicylic acid was first isolated from Filipendula ulmaria when it was still grouped with Spiraea, and the word aspirin was created by adding a (for acetylation) to spirin, from the German Spirsaure, a reference to Spiraea.
Penstemon davidsonii var. menziesii 'Tolmie Peak'
Mt. Rainier
Peter Rainier
Burdened with an unwieldy name is Penstemon davidsonii var. menziesii 'Tolmie Peak'. Please – nobody change the name now that we have our labels made! Our low mat is in a trough in the old basketball court, and all visitors who must walk from the parking lot to the office have an opportunity to enjoy it. The cultivar was collected on Tolmie Peak (5920') in the Mt. Rainier area of Washington state, a plant-rich site named for William Fraser Tolmie who labored for the Hudson's Bay Company. Supposedly he climbed the mountain in 1833, accompanied by two native Indian guides. I don't know who first named and introduced the plant 'Tolmie Peak', but we were given our start by Rick Lupp, the now-retired owner of Mt. Tahoma Nursery. Mr. Lupp operated a small but spectacular alpine nursery, and he was famous for practically abandoning certain plants...which allowed them to positively thrive. Tahoma is the native American word for Mt. Rainier, and Talol, Tacoma or Tahoma might refer to “mother of waters.” I'm all for restoring the mountain's name back to the original, just as Mt. McKinley was dropped in favor of Denali in Alaska. George Vancouver is the guilty party responsible for re-naming Tahoma...to honor is friend Rear Admiral Peter Rainier, perhaps the ugliest officer in the British Navy, and one who never even saw the mountain.
Phlox 'Boranovice'
Also in a basketball-court trough, and also from Mt. Tahoma Nursery is Phlox 'Boranovice' (pronounced veechey). In the photo above you can see that it happily coexists with a Rhododendron forrestii var. repens, and they both look poised to climb up the burnt stump. It is often classified as Phlox douglasii 'Boranovice', a species native to our Pacific Northwest which honors plant explorer David Douglas. We also grow 'Boranovice III', a cultivar with pink flowers, but I prefer the drama of the red. Phlox is a genus of 60-or-so species, mostly from North America, and it resides in the Polemoniaceae family. The name Phlox is derived from Latin for “flower, flame,” and that ultimately from Greek phlegein, “to burn;” it was Linnaeus who coined the name Phlox.
Saxifraga 'Cockscomb'
Saxifraga 'Peter Pan'
Saxifraga edithae 'Edith'
Saxifraga edithae 'Bridget'
Pliny the Elder
Eric loves the Saxifrages, and one of his favorites is 'Cockscomb'. We have a miniscule green bun clinging to a pumice stone for most of the year, then it explodes like fireworks in summer with dozens of tiny white stars. S. 'Peter Pan' features pink flowers and we have two cultivars of Saxifraga edithae: 'Bridget' and 'Edith'. All of these are great in troughs or in our pumice stones, but we find that many of the species and hybrids thrive in partial shade versus the scalding Oregon sun. A word of caution for one who collects Saxifraga, for the grower is largely at the mercy of his source if the name is correct or not. For example Eric corresponds with collectors in Europe and some of the alpine cognoscenti there questions some of our nomenclature. We do our best and we are always willing to be corrected. Saxifraga is a stone-breaking herb, a word which combines Latin saxum for “stone” and fraga, feminine of fragus for “breaking.” The stones that are referred to are not necessarily in nature or in the rock garden, but that the herb has the capability to dissolve kidney stones. The know-it-all Roman Pliny* claimed the above, but others say it refers to the fact that Saxifraga commonly grows in crevices.
*Pliny the Elder was an author, naturalist and natural philosopher, also a naval and army commander, and spent his time investigating natural and geographic phenomena in the field. Too bad that he wanted to see the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius close up because he died from noxious gasses when the wind died and his ship couldn't set sail to safety.
Echinopsis hybrid
Echinopsis is a genus of cacti native to South America and is sometimes known as the "Easter lily" cactus. There are a number of species, though most of the wonderful cultivars are hybrids. We don't know the name of the parents or even of the hybrid displayed above, but to me it doesn't matter because it's Eric's photo that I like. One can't know everything about every plant, such as the Echinopsis genus, but certainly they can be appreciated in collections (since I have never seen them in the wild). The generic name is derived from Greek echinos for “hedgehog” or “sea urchin,” and opsis for appearance, referring to the plant's spines. Long before Eric filled out his time card at Buchholz Nursery he was collecting plants as a hobby. As is often the case, those growers who are not invested in plants as a crop, as a necessary income to be derived, can appreciate the natural world for its beauty and inner-workings more than the professional nurseryman.
Calypso bulbosa
As an example, the exquisite Calypso bulbosa is native to the Columbia River Gorge at about 2,000' in elevation, and I have seen it on both the Oregon and Washington sides. Too bad that it is very difficult to grow in cultivation, that it requires the natural stuff of the forest to survive. But lucky-stiff Eric has it growing naturally on his property and in his neighborhood, as I have jealously seen for myself. Calypso takes its name from Greek meaning “concealment,” since the bulb prefers sheltered areas on conifer forest floors. No wonder that Eric fell in love with plants: he has a beautiful wife and a lovely family, but he is especially blessed to walk out his door to greet the Calypso in the spring.
Posted by Talon Buchholz at 1:44 PM
Maybe the person naming the Crataegus calpodendron thought it looked liked one from Gibraltar or southern Spain. About a month ago you asked if anyone knew Gerd Krussmann. He was in Portland in the late 1970s for the American Rhododendron Soc. Convention and I was seated next to him on a 3 day bus trip to check out R. occidentale in southern Oregon and northern CA. He was a fascinating man with a good sense of humor and very humble for a German. If my remarks merit a cookie, you can give it to grandfather.

He’s In the Best Selling Show: Woody Woodmansey Talks To EP About Holy Holy, Bowie, And Performing
Woody Woodmansey
If you’re familiar with David Bowie’s early music, and surely there’s not many people these days who aren’t, then you’re likely also to know the name of Mick “Woody” Woodmansey, who was Bowie’s drummer from 1970-1973, and was also a member of The Spiders From Mars. Woodmansey co-leads, with Tony Visconti, Holy Holy, a supergroup which plays the songs from Bowie’s early career. Visconti was Bowie’s longtime producer and bass player.
Holy Holy originally formed to play Latitude Festival in 2013, and have continued to tour around the world. They’re touring the UK in 2019, commencing February 8 in York, and winding up in Cambridge on Sunday, February 24. You can get tickets and further information here.
We’re immensely indebted to Woody Woodmansey for giving us the time to answer a few questions for us.
EP: You’ve just announced a new tour next year, 13 dates across the UK, with tickets on sale now. What keeps you touring, and who should we expect in the line-up? Any surprise guests?
WW: It’s who I am and what I do and I still enjoy playing live as much as I did when I was fifteen! Tony Visconti on bass, Glenn Gregory doing lead vocals, James Stephenson on guitar, Paul Cuddeford on guitar, Berenice Scott on keyboards, Jessica Lee Morgan on 12 string and saxophone. No surprise guests as of now!
Tony Visconti on bass, Woody Woodmansey on drums.
EP: What’s the best part about performing with Holy Holy?
WW: Working with a group of great musicians and seeing the effect it can create on thousands of people!
EP: You’ve all played with other artists. what is it about Bowie’s music that makes you want to keep performing it?
WW: I think Bowie had an incredible ability to write songs that didn’t give you the whole story and left it up to the listener to use his own imagination to fill in the dots!! The first album Tony and I did with Bowie was ‘The Man Who Sold The World’, and for various reasons we never played that album live, even with David, and so now we’re enjoying playing this live.

EP: Back in 2015 we reviewed your album, ‘The Man Who Sold The World, Live In London’, and we felt in a lot of respects, the songs felt as though they were the instrumentals from the original album, they were very faithful reproductions. Is this something you’ve consciously decided? You might actually disagree with me entirely!
WW: From the start of Holy Holy I felt it was important to be able to capture the spirit of each song, how it was originally played. I think the closeness to the originals is almost incidental. We didn’t consciously try to stay true to the original.

EP: Since Bowie’s death, has your performance changed in any way?
WW: No, but we always try to play the songs with the respect they deserve.
EP: Do you find that Bowie fans are coming to hear you in a way of somehow capturing, or recapturing something of him, or do you have your own fans, your own audience coming to the shows?
WW: I think it’s pretty obvious they come to see and hear the music they first fell in love with, however we do get teenagers coming because they too love the albums but obviously never saw him perform.
Woody Woodmansey. Photo Credit: Dan Woodmansey
EP: What is your favourite song to perform?
WW: Too many to choose from but possibly ‘Life On Mars?’.
EP: Do you feel it’s easier or harder to get along in the music business these days? What’s been the biggest difference?
WW: I think it’s harder, depending on your genre of music. There’s more importance put on the business side of things, years ago a band or an artist could be supported by a record company and may end up doing 4 albums before one actually sold well. Nowadays an artist has to prove he has an audience before he gets signed up and if his latest single doesn’t sell enough his career is in jeopardy.
EP: Finally – and this is a question I ask in every interview – what question do you wish someone would ask you in an interview, but nobody ever does?
WW: ‘What’s so good about being a drummer!!!??’
Holy Holy features Woody Woodmansey, Tony Visconti, and Glenn Gregory, playing the songs of David Bowie dating between 1969 and 1973. Holy Holy launch their UK tour 8th February, continuing through 24th February. See here for tickets and further information.
