New and vintage music plus two special sections of previously unreleased music from The Beach Boys in 1967. At the time, The Beach Boys were just coming off the Smiley Smile album, a different version of the legendary Smile sessions, officially unreleased for decades, eventually put together with an eye towards what it could have been. But The Beach Boys went on with a new perspective, recording the stripped down Wild Honey album at Brian Wilson's house in Bel Air, quite parallel to what Bob Dylan was doing with the basement tapes and John Wesley Harding, going back to the basics. About 58 minutes into the show, the focus shifts to recording sessions for Wild Honey, including vocal tracking sessions, backing tracks and excerpts of songs that were never released. It's so great to hear how they improvised vocal parts, or tracked with Brian's deliberately detuned piano to get a bigger sound with minimal instrumentation. After moving on to other music, the show ends with some songs from their 1967 live show in Hawaii, joined by Brian Wilson for the first time in several years, on vocals and organ. In great voice! More from these sessions to come in a future episode of Connections. The show starts with new and vintage music from Link Wray and The Wray-Men, Dan Auerbach, Gracie and Rachel, Sam Phillips, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan rarities, Courtney Barnett, The Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Warren Zanes, Christine and The Queens, Euphoria and Com Truise. After The Beach Boy rarities, it continues with several 1967 songs by The Kinks (on vinyl in mono), new music from Portugal.The Man, Dutch Uncles, Benjamin Booker, HAIM, Chris Price, Broken Social Scene, Emily Duff, Cindy Lee Berryhill, Alvvays and more. Also music from George Harrison, Aimee Mann, The Blues Magoos, The Beatles, Carole King, The Outsiders, Boyce and Hart, The Squeaky Chairs and whatever happened in the moment before returning to The Beach Boys, live in Hawaii.

Betbeze’s irregular painting surfaces are wool rugs that the artist burns, tatters and douses with ink and industrial acid-dyes. Vibrant colors bleed and stain each grisly surface, which seems to undergo a powerful transformation of either regeneration or decay. The artist alludes to the latter in “All That’s Left,” as bright red dye pops through consuming shades of purple; the last remnants of a preexisting life. The piece’s ragged holes seem to have deteriorated naturally rather then been intentionally torn or torched by the artist. “Spring Hole,” on the other hand, emits renewal with hot pinks, blues, greens and yellows that mingle against a neutral fibrous background. Purple dye lines the top of the vertically rectangular rug, holding the abstraction in a structurally sound composition. While the artist’s materials and process are primal and unpredictable, her abstract “paintings” are well balanced and complete. Hues are layered and blended with purpose, even when the unpredictability of Betbeze’s medium resists any precise control. “All That’s Left” (left) and “Mimosa” (right) While Betbeze’s rugs are visually appealing, her creations are anything but comforting and cozy. Intriguing and exciting, yes, but each piece maintains a sense of grit, leaving us recoiled at the thought of curling up among its acid-dyed shag. “Mimosa,” for example, is a layered yellow composition reminiscent of a woolly Rothko color field with a bit more grime. Its browned and yellowed threads seem dirtied and coarse, and it’s the only piece in the show that drapes onto the floor rather than over a white pedestal. Betbeze’s rugs also seem too conscious to be consoling — like a Nick Cave soundsuit that’s been skinned and hung out for drying but could resume movement at any moment. “All That’s Left” also reminds us of a Wild Thing that’s been de-robed or under-the-bed monster that’s been debunked. “Fog Bottom” has an equally fantasized appearance while offering a reverse perspective, which further denotes Betbeze’s process as a symbol of time passing or of nature’s primordial cycles. When viewed in opposition, we can see the effect Betbeze’s pooling medium has on her rug’s porous surface, which visually references water as another natural element of eroding change. Dyes bleed through the woolly fibers and permeate their smooth backing in uneven glazes. For this patchwork piece, the artist crudely stitches and layers her textile scraps together, bringing them into an assemblage that reassures us of its manmade existence. Manic fluffs stray from the edges of each fabric square, a recurring shape throughout the exhibition, leaving a distressed and crazed quality to the work. With her decimated and re-contextualized wool rugs, Betbeze is “using destruction as a force of creation,” as the curatorial notes suggest, for a conceptually riveting and visually engaging body of work. Beginning with the exhibition’s juxtaposed title, the artist offers metaphorical dichotomies through her process and presentation that relate to death/life, abandonment/care, beauty/dejection and more, allowing the viewer to interpret the show through many lenses. Each tactile piece bridges a relationship between painting, sculpture and architecture. “Spring Hole” (left) with a few of “Untitled (Holes, Heads, Bowls)” (right) Betbeze also includes a new series of works on paper in Dark Sun that complements her large-scale wool abstractions. Curated in a single row that curves across the back three walls of the gallery, these raw, saturated sketches provide insight into Betbeze’s painting process and keen sense of color relationships. The individual artworks are not nearly as riveting as their dominating wool counterparts, but when viewed as studies they allow for illuminating observation and contemplation of the artist’s techniques and experiments in color. The pieces are meant to be taken as a whole, however, as they are collectively named Untitled (Holes, Heads, Bowls).Watercolor is the dominant medium, illustrating the artist’s fascination with pervasive painterly effects. While Betbeze’s works on paper command a less imposing and visceral response than her signature wool rug paintings, they offer a visual appeal and further intrigue within the context of the exhibition. Betbeze aims for a multisensory experience in Dark Sun, which she achieves through a process evocative of 20th-century gestural abstraction, likening herself to a modern-day Helen Frankenthaler with a bit more edge. Based in New York, N.Y., the Alabama-born artist received her BFA from the University of Georgia and her MFA from Yale University School of Art. Betbeze’s solo exhibition is a result of the artist’s honor as recipient of The Catherine Doctorow Prize for Contemporary Painting, awarded every two years by The Jarvis & Constance Doctorow Family Foundation in collaboration with UMOCA to an innovative contemporary painter residing in the United States. “All That’s Left” “Anna Betbeze: Dark Sun,” UMOCA, Salt Lake City, through Jan. 13, 2018.

As part of its plan, the EU will be investing €11 billion to "finance strategic infrastructure to test and industrialise processes" and "create new applications for connected cars, health sector, telecommunication, defence and security." In the EU Chips Act announcement, the EU said it "cannot miss out in the technological race for the semiconductors of the future." The Union will also be adapting the Member State aid rules to the "particular case" of semiconductors. EU policy typically prevents aid to be granted if it threatens competition among Member States. "By 2030, Member States could invest €30 billion in a new important project of common European interest (IPCEI) and mega-fabs [large semiconductor fabrication facilities]," the announcement read. Semiconductor shortages have impacted supply of new consoles and graphics cards over the past couple of years. Last year, Nintendo said its production plans for the Switch were "uncertain" due to lack of availability of the materials, while Phil Spencer recently said Xbox supply was "as big as it's even been" despite shortages. Japanese manufacturer Toshiba said in September that the delays in the production of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S\|X may last until 2023.

__label__cc	0.588822	0.411178	Tag Archives: George Zimmerman and white supremacy Posted on March 4, 2021 by Carmen Kynard Thank you, Dr. Fehler, for inviting me here and thank you, Dean Tilton, and Dr. van Erve, for your introductions. I also thank all of the Texas Woman’s University community for being with us this evening. I acknowledge and honor the Wichita and the very land where I now reside as a newcomer to Fort Worth, Texas. The Wichita call on us to be better stewards of the land; I also hear that call as one that compels me to recognize my unique role as a descendant of enslaved Africans to disentangle white settler colonization from my imaginations and life-purposes. I start by letting you know that I’m going to read my comments this evening. I have posted these comments on my blog for better accessibility. Parts of this text are also weblinked here if you want a closer look at the sources and events I discuss. While there is much for us to think through and problematize about the white supremacy that we witnessed in the violence at the Capitol this past January, I want to focus here on the ways that white mob violence is a LONG-STANDING central praxis of white supremacy and is always anti-Black and anti-Semitic. These are always co-functioning this way so it should “make sense” to us that the Capitol rioters costumed themselves in things like Camp Auschwitz garb and nooses, both of which are the most iconic symbols of the mass murder and violence against Black and Jewish peoples. And while there was considerable conversation about the differences in the responses to white mob violence and Black peaceful protest, that is just part of the story. White mob violence is specter— and I say specter in the sense that it is truly a kind of reoccurring haunting. It is often represented as a kind of merely unfortunate, albeit awful, historical event, so that overall white innocence can be maintained. If you were shocked by what you saw at the Capitol, it means that you have ignored the historical record or have been lulled into thinking these were bygone days by dogma that presents whiteness as innocent. Meanwhile, Black suffering is spectacle— the thing we are used to seeing as if it is just another segment on the nightly news (which most times, it is). [These circulations of white supremacy are so much more than merely a set of hypocrisies in relation to the over-policing, surveillance, and militaristic responses to Black protest.] To get at some of what I mean, I want to look at Bruno Cua today and then step back and look at one specific historical incident of mass violence and voting, namely the 1920 Ocoee Massacre in Florida. Though it is just one of many examples, I want to highlight the current case of the 18-year-old Capitol rioter Bruno Cua from Metro Atlanta Georgia. His parents are still pleading with a judge to release him from custody while he awaits trial; they are simply embarrassed that they believed what Trump was telling them about voter fraud. That is literally the defense—that they are deserving of mercy and forgiveness because Bruno was naïve and they are all now embarrassed. I’ll come back to this point about shame and embarrassment so just keep that part in mind. The stories seem to all point to these events: Bruno’s parents took him to D.C. for the rally where Bruno stormed his way inside and shoved a police officer out of his way to get into the Senate chamber. Bruno described clearly in social media posts what would happen on January 6. After leaving the capitol, he posted again the next day on January 7, even boasting that the tree of liberty was thirsty for the “blood of tyrants,” namely those people he had singled out at the Capitol, and that he would not give a warning shot the next time around. The next day, on January 8, he was still posting, this time proclaiming that everyone in Congress deserved a public execution. Bruno is amongst the youngest to have charges brought against him, if not the youngest. It should go without saying here that every young Black man in America is profiled, harassed, imprisoned, and murdered with impunity for so much less than Bruno’s offenses. And while I don’t believe that the cage and shackle system of our criminal justice system is helpful in the service of justice, it will remain interesting to see just how innocent, forgivable, and deserving of mercy Bruno becomes. It is particularly interesting to see how Bruno is depicted as an isolated, naïve white teenager when the fact of the matter is that Bruno is from the Metro Atlanta area, a central Black, critical hub that overturned the white Republican face of Georgia’s politics with record Black voter turn-out in favor of a Democrat president and vice-president, a woman of color to boot, and the first Black and Jewish senators, all organized by Black women activists. Bruno was not naïve and simple; he was deliberately acting from a place of whiteness that insisted did not need to believe or accept Black agency. In fact, this entire election was decided, in large part, by Black voters and Black women organizers in major cities like Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. The white rallying cry that depicted Black voters and Black cities and towns as thieves who had stolen American Democracy has been the same rallying cry for white supremacists since Reconstruction, including in these very same cities.[ I remind us here of the Black activist, Octavius Catto, who was killed on his way to vote in 1871 in Philadelphia; his murderer was never charged and the violent rampage against the Black vote and voice there were, in fact, aided by police.] If you were shocked by what you saw at the Capitol, it might mean that you have ignored the historical record or have been lulled into thinking it was all just an unfortunate historical accident within the terms of a master narrative that presents whiteness, as a whole, as innocent. I also want us to remember the Ocoee Massacre in Florida in November 1920 which remains the largest election-related massacre. [There are, of course, multiple examples of this in relation to voting but sometimes just for living like this and this.] The entire Black community of Ocoee was forced to flee the town when a prosperous Black farmer, Mose Norman, organized Black people to vote and went to vote himself in the national election in January of 1920. When civil rights organizations called on Congress to investigate the massacre, they refused. The FBI also refused to act. The leader of the white mob became the mayor. After forcing all of the Black residents to leave town, these white insurrectionists stole the properties from this Black community which are collectively evaluated at ten million dollars today. There have been no reparations to these families. In this 1920 white mob violence, white supremacists massacred what we think might be at least 50 Black people for voting, just 35 miles south of where Trayvon Martin was murdered making white men’s unpunished behavior merely the specter of Zimmerman’s (also judiciously-sanctioned) murder of Trayvon Martin. I point out here that the insurrectionists at Ocoee celebrated their victory as has steadily been the culture of white mob violence, especially in relation to lynch law. My connection to lynching if both literal and historical here since the insurrectionists erected a gallows to hang then-Vice President Mike Pence; lynchings were also a prime tool to block the Black vote and white people who deliberately intervened were threatened with death too. We need to remember that lynching of Black Americans functioned as more than mere execution. These were forms of entertainment, like the circus had just come to town. These were often large, festive events where white mobs often even erected stages with theater-styled seating. There were exciting advertisements beforehand; photos and postcards were sent to family and friends. You’d be hard-pressed to find images of white lynch mob members looking ashamed or embarrassed about what they were doing: they are posing for the camera, often in special pre-planned attire, as whole family units. They took trophies to commemorate what they stole on these “great days” and “wonderful evenings” (these could include chopped off body parts like breasts and phalluses). These were, in sum, open and very public celebrations and were called acts of JUSTICE. We have to ask ourselves here: why was it so easy, almost automated, for the rioters at the capitol to look, sound, and act so much like a typical lynch mob from a century past? It is telling here that for Bruno’s parents, and maybe even for much of America and the criminal justice system, their expression of regret and embarrassment, even when inauthentic, is treated as an extraordinary feat since it would be the one cultural practice different from the lynch mobs of 100 years ago. If we go back to the massacre at Ocoee in 1920, we see that these were white folx who had lived next to Black folx as neighbors for 30 years, but that didn’t stop them from brutalizing and stealing Black folx’s votes and homes. So, as a way to wrap up here, I want to return to the fact that Bruno grew up in Atlanta and yet his defense, the commentary from seemingly everyone around him, and much of the public rhetoric right now, is that he had just never known anyone or anything else. BUT…..He. Lives. In. Atlanta….. Metro Atlanta. That’s a little over 6 million people and yet the salience of the deeply depressed, easily manipulated, rural white male loner is such a chronic trope of white supremacy that it can be called up anytime and anywhere to convey white innocence. If you listen to these accounts about Bruno’s isolation, you would think I am just acting like the little boy in that 1999 movie, The 6th Sense, that stars Bruce Willis as a child psychologist to a child patient (Haley Joel Osment) who can talk to the dead. The child is absolutely bewildered by his ghostly talents and so whispers to the psychologist: I SEE DEAD PEOPLE. In my new 2021 version of the movie, I am the main child character who sees Black people in a sixth sense, like a great secret, where I have to walk around whispering “I see Black people” because no one can see us, like Metro Atlanta ain’t even right there. Though I might be making arguably an inappropriate joke here, it really is this absurd to me to act like Bruno didn’t understand the world around him and wasn’t acting within the terms of a white racist response to the political successes of a VERY Black Atlanta! If we center Bruno as a misguided loner, we are in fact merely re-committing what we saw in 1920 Ocoee: no serious investigation, no commitment to act against white violence, an outpouring of forgiveness and understanding, open pathways to future success for leading agitators, and no acknowledgement of Black suffering. These new circulations of white supremacy at the Capitol this January will set off new legacies. Our responses to this moment will put cultural practices in place that activists fifty years and one hundred years from now will have to agitate to undo, like we are doing now… about the 100 years before us… unless we seriously address AND REDRESS the spectacle of Black suffering that is so commonplace to us now as the specter of white supremacist mob violences continually haunts. PLEASE NOTE: Secretive whispers of “I see Black people” are something that I learned from Todd Craig in places like 4Cs, the writing center where we once worked, and all other kinds of academic spaces. This is his line, not mine, and so I give FULL CREDIT.

Sell-out. House Negro. Uncle Tom. Aunt Jemima. Incognegro. Miscellaneous. Negro Bed-Wench. Tragic Buck. Coon. Actin White. Talkin White. If a black person says any of these things about another black person, it ain’t a compliment; it is intended as a deep critique of one’s racial mental health and identity. Now, granted, these terms can be used in some of the most problematic and simplistic ways, I admit. Nonetheless, I am drawn to this kind of everyday linguistic system of accountability and obligation that many black folk use to denigrate anything and anyone perceived as an insult and injury to black people. I have grown up with these terms and, quite honestly, have used them to describe many a folk. For me, this language can mark insiders, outsiders, and racial violence in some important ways. As strange as it might seem, I think it is this very same language that makes me perplexed about many white feminists at times. When the white men who I work with squash all moral obligation and dialogue in the academy, I have seen far too many self-proclaimed “radical” white feminists in these professional settings act in complete alliance with these most bigoted of white male patriarchs and racist systems. And now, when a white female judge and an almost all-white female jury expects us to understand how and why they sympathized with George Zimmerman/white supremacy and sanctioned white terror under the name of the law, I need a radical feminist agenda that will call out such roles under white womanhood (rather than simply ask folk to remember that black women are as demonized as black men). When a white woman goes on national television, accepts a major book contract (she has since cancelled) to explain her situation as one of the jurors in the case, and cries with the expectation that her pain will be a central organizing system for national sympathy in the murder of a black woman’s child, white womanhood has got to be called out as a fundamental mechanism for maintaining white supremacy: white male patriarchy never acts alone. This kind of calling-out is simply an assumption that I readily make from the kind of everyday linguistic system of accountability and obligation that black language has given me. What black folk/black language seems to get as part of its daily consciousness is that we need some words, tropes, images— some language— for this kinda foul, racist stuff. Lynching of Rubin Stacy, 1935 At the Feminist Wire today, Zillah Eisenstein writes that “Racism in its gendered forms remains the problem here, not simply the law. Racialized gender in the form of the dangerous black boy/man is a form of white privileged terrorism.” Also at the Feminist Wire, Monica Casper makes another compelling case: that we need to talk about “specifically the historical, systemic racism of white women.” And Heather Laine Talley makes it clear that expressions like “well, not all white women/white feminists are like that” is a form of white denial and bad allying. I stand with Eisenstein, Casper, and Talley here. Their posts at the Feminist Wire, on the heels of a series of writings dedicated to Assata Shakur, have been compelling. Meanwhile, Janelle Hobson at Ms. Magazine hits it right on the mark: Adrienne Rich said it best in “Disloyal to Civilization” when she argued that white women could not form important connections with other women across the planet—the kinds of connections that would advance women’s collective power and overturn patriarchy—if they remained forever loyal to a white supremacist system. This year we’ve seen women like Abigail Fisher try and overturn affirmative action in a Supreme Court case, much like Barbara Grutter before her, even though white women as a group have benefited more than anyone else from affirmative-action programs. And now, another group of women have failed to give Trayvon Martin justice. These instances suggest that white privilege, power and dominance outweigh any notions of gender justice and solidarity. The white female judge and jury in this case did not experience their own motherhood in sisterhood to the mother of Trayvon Martin, Sybrina Fulton; their motherhood set its gaze only on Zimmerman and property. And the white female judge and jury in this case did not experience the words of a young black woman, Rachel Jeantel, as representative of Knowledge and Truth either. Hobson’s claim that there is no cross-racial gender solidarity in the context of white dominance seems worth heeding. Close-up from the Lynching of Rubin Stacy, 1935 I am NOT talking here to people who support Zimmerman and the verdict. I know that I am not part of that “sanctified universe of obligation” and have no expectation that dialogue will be possible— American lynch law has never required that the ones swinging from trees be heard and recognized. That ain’t who I think of as my audience, nor where I mark the possibility of a radical humanity and a radical feminism. White femininity in this moment is being (re)scripted in the most dangerous ways and shows itself as, once again, integral to the “sanctified universe of obligation” where white women and families mark themselves as needing protection from black people, especially young black men. This is why I gravitate towards Sylvia Wynter’s re-mix of Helen Fein’s work: you need to look to the decades and centuries preceding a group’s annihilation to see and understand how the dominant group has perpetrated a regime that marks some groups as “pariahs outside the sanctified social order.” It’s a conceptualization that protects us from the claims that we are simplifying history by saying racism today is the same as years before. No, today is not like the lynching of Rubin Stacy as so brilliantly described by Justin Hill at the Black Youth Project. Stacy left Georgia to go to Florida where was murdered on July 19, 1935 in Fort Lauderdale for allegedly trying to harm a white woman (who later reported that he only came to her door begging for food). Apparently, Stacy had walked too closely and too comfortably up to white homes and needed to be killed for it. In the foreground of this now famous lynching photo, you can even see a young white girl, smiling, camera-ready for her special Kodak moment. No, we can’t say that Sanford, Florida is the “exact same” as 1935 Fort Lauderdale, Florida but we CAN say that the “universe of sanctified obligation” created and sustained the murder of Trayvon and the acquittal of his murderer by a white female judge and jury today whose political lenses have, at least partly, manifested from the gaze of that smiling, little girl. I also go back here to Wynter’s essay, “Beyond Miranda’s Meanings,” where she takes Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest, and shows how Miranda, as a white woman/the only woman in the New World/Island is a “mode of physiognomic being” that gets canonized as the only “rational object of desire” and, therefore, the “genitrix of a superior mode of human life.” What Wynter calls the “situational frame of reference of both Western-European and Euroamerican women writers” has seldom countered this “regime of truth” that must be implicated in the ongoing murder of Trayvon Martin in the courts of the United States. As always, Wynter argues that contending with our present social reality requires a re-writing of the entire episteme and it should be obvious that race AND gender can never be disentangled from this work.

Justice! When do we want it? Now?….. Brick by brick, wall by wall, we will make this system fall….. Take a stand, not a picture….. Out of the shops, into the streets….. Zimmerman walked, why can’t we?….. Who’s streets? Our Streets?……We are Trayvon! Trayvon! Trayvon! Trayvon! For the thousands who I walked and rallied in solidarity with almost all of yesterday, these were the chants that carried our feet, mouths, and hearts. I was not surprised by the verdict but the state of mourning mixed with outrage fueled my desire to find kinship at the rallies all over New York yesterday. There had been a few times when I caught myself during the trial feeling assured that Zimmerman’s verdict would be guilty. I had to quickly remind myself that U.S. courts have always co-signed and maintained Black genocide. Given the recent history of Florida, I was more surprised that the Miami Heat took the championship than I was with an almost all-white female jury acquitting Zimmerman. With Wisconsin as the seeming first post-verdict incident, it looks like we will see more dark days ahead. As Raymond Santana of the Central Park Five reminded crowds yesterday, there is a historical context here. Protesters in Times Square When I was an undergraduate student, Sylvia Wynter— taking her cue from the Africana theorist, St. Clair Drake— called such protests, rallies, and petitions the “street tasks.” She was referencing the 60s and, later, the 1992 uprisings in Los Angeles after the acquittal of the police officers who brutally beat Rodney King. She commended every move and decision black communities and college students made in those moments and also impressed upon us that there was a flip side to the coin that St. Clair Drake was always emphasizing: the intellectual tasks. The closest to what they meant is what we might call today blending the micro and the macro. However, Drake and Wynter are talking about more: they are talking about the ways that social action must ignite an “epistemological break” from the categories that govern our current social systems, not merely an amendment or addition to existing policies and programs. And that break has to be epistemological— the way that a social order knows itself and thinks about/institutes the world. There are deep intellectual tasks ahead of us. I noticed yesterday that many young college students seemed to insist upon a colorblind rhetoric, North American-ness (and therefore hegemony), and middle class politeness/etiquette: this is not about race; I am not Black/Arab/Latino because I am ____-American; stay in school; let’s all pull up our pants and be good fathers; this is not a Black-White thing. And yet we have Zimmerman who was never even handcuffed when the police came; no one went door-to-door to ask who this slain young black boy was so Trayvon Martin was John Doe for many days, even though he was killed six houses away from home; the defense attorney opened with a knock-knock joke; and common sense defied any notion of self-defense (I was stunned by all the references to concrete when every photo shows Trayvon dead on the grass.) You could go on and on here. The resistance to name race and interrogate whiteness and white supremacy by so many young people has been stultifying. In the words of Sylvia Wynter: what is wrong with their education? In every major social protest led by black college students, those students were always connected to radicalism outside of their campuses. It should go without saying that Black college students have always witnessed brutal murders of and threats to their peers: SNYC, Southern Negro Youth Congress, was established in response to the Scottsboro Case and always raised money for civil rights activism, such as the case of a 16-year old African American girl sentenced to years of hard labor for allegedly stealing 6 ears of corn from a field. When Barbara Johns led her high school peers in the protest that led the way for the only student-initiated case to be incorporated into Brown v Ed, she had to be immediately sent to another state to live after all of the death threats made against her. Ibram Rogers reminds us that 12 black college students lost their lives in peaceful protest in the Black Campus Movement. It seems historically safe to say that black college students have taken radical politics off-campus and made that radicalism come alive. So maybe young people’s lack of analyses today simply reflects we grown folk and the radical intellectual activity that we have allowed to be displaced by media cartels and allied commercial academic/celebrities. Indeed, what is wrong with their education? Where have WE gone wrong? One of My Favorite Posters from Yesterday’s Rallies in NYC I have been fascinated by the way the Zimmerman family has been welcomed and embraced by the White Conservative Right. The early insistence by conservative whites that we recognize Zimmerman as a person of color has all but faded. In fact, on my way to the rallies, one of the triggers that sent me out into the streets, was finding myself terrified. In my newly-gentrified neighborhood of Brooklyn, white men started waving American flags on their cars and homes— as far as they were concerned, all things were right with America again. And here we have young people of color insisting on colorblindness because Zimmerman has a Latina mother. The critique of whiteness seems nowhere to be found: maybe we can’t call this man white but we can surely call him a white supremacist and his choice in this regard has been no accident (I said white supremacist, NOT racist). For all of the pollyanna-ish talk about mixed-race children complicating today’s racial categorization models, no one seems willing to recognize that the race issues that murdered Trayvon Martin are as old as the white founding of this country. Now more than ever, I wonder what mixed-race children are embracing when they say they embrace their “white side.” It seems pretty clear for the Zimmerman children. I am not talking here about representing individual white parents; I am taking about social and historical forces of racism that no one gets exempt from and that some groups deliberately choose to benefit from. Homer Plessy What has struck me most about this case is the implicit and explicit invitation made to white-skinned ethnic people: embrace white supremacy and you too can be white…. come one, come all. We seem to forget that it was the courts that have decided who/what is white and who/what is not. Do we need the reminder that Armenians were legally classified as Asian until they became white in 1909? Did we forget that Syrians were legally white in 1909 and 1910, then non-white in 1913, and then back to white again in 1915? From the perspective of a race-based historical continuum, the courts anointed Zimmerman this past weekend also, a man who cannot even really phenotypically pass for white. This is hardly a man with blue eyes, pale skin, red/blond hair (it seems that even Homer Plessy, the octoroon who chose to be the lead plaintiff in the 1896 case of Plessy v Ferguson, looked whiter than Zimmerman) who will still need a few more generations of miscegenation to reproduce pale-featured children. But, when Zimmerman murdered Trayvon, he got anointed as white. If we know that race is not biological, then we need to take seriously the ways the courts, as just one institution, have socially constructed race and racism. Every time someone from the Zimmerman family even makes a public statement, they speak solely within the terms of white supremacy; it is almost as if I am seeing and hearing Bull Connor in 1950s Alabama. And yet I hear NO rallying cry from the media about family values and questions of how these Zimmerman children were raised— no one asks how or why a Latina mother and white father raised children to hate and murder young black men in the streets without remorse. Black and Latin@ parents never get this kind of pass if their child commits a crime or even acts a fool in public, but, gee whiz, something seems so different with the Zimmermans. To go back to Wynter’s words in my previous post, when we construct the optimal human to be white, of Euroamerican culture and descent, North American, middle class, college-educated and suburban, Trayvon Martins must fall out of “the sanctified universe of obligation.” This is why my favorite slogan in the rallies that I have witnessed is: WE ARE TRAYVON. That’s a powerful statement if we really mean it, truly the intellectual task here. To take on THAT statement means an ideological position. It means choosing to fall outside of and think outside of our current “sanctified universe of obligation” which will require more than protest rallies, petitions, delusions of color-blindness, and the fear of naming whiteness.

__label__wiki	0.880537	0.880537	Part of complete coverage on Mixx Facebook Twitter Digg delicious reddit MySpace StumbleUpon LinkedIn Viadeo Protecting villagers from deadly mudslides By Ebonne Ruffins, CNN CNN Hero: Anne Hallum Anne Hallum is helping rural Guatemalans prevent mudslide tragedies Through her nonprofit, Hallum is showing villagers how some trees can provide protection The group also provides educational resources and agricultural know-how Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2011 CNN Heroes Chimaltenango, Guatemala (CNN) -- In rural Guatemala, all it takes is a few minutes for tons of heavy mud to plow into a vulnerable hillside community and swallow its people and their homes. Sometimes, the devastation is there for all to see. But not always. "I met a couple who lost their children and their home ... all of it just gone," Anne Hallum said, recalling a trip to the country in 2005. "We arrived, and it was hard to believe anyone had died. There weren't bodies lying around. ... They were buried under." Hundreds of dangerous mudslides occur every year during Guatemala's rainy season, which lasts from mid-May until October or November. In one extreme case, a mudslide resulted in 700 deaths, according to CEPAL, the U.N. Economic Commission for Latin America. There are plenty of natural reasons why Guatemalans are vulnerable to mudslides: frequent earthquakes, hurricanes and heavy rains oversaturate Guatemala's mountainous terrain and muddy the soil. But Hallum said there's another mudslide trigger to consider. "Deforestation -- or the absence of trees -- causes mudslides to occur," said Hallum, co-founder of the Alliance for International Reforestation, a nonprofit trying to help the villagers protect themselves from mudslides. "Trees are cut for firewood and to make room for the crops, and without realizing it ... they've taken away their protection. Where it used to be rainforest becomes an open space for the mud to come right on through." Extra: Wood-burning stove saves trees Nearly 373 square kilometers of trees are destroyed each year in Guatemala, according to the University of Santa Barbara's Department of Geography. Through her group's efforts, Hallum is inspiring villagers to stop chopping and, instead, use trees to safeguard their lives and crops against mudslides. The effort, nearly 20 years strong, was one Hallum said she never really planned. A political science professor at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, Hallum traveled to the rural town of Nueva Concepcion, Guatemala, in 1991 as an adviser for a university field trip. It was her first trip outside the United States, and despite not being able to speak Spanish, she was moved by a blatant poverty that "broke her heart" and birthed a "new purpose." "I went into the villages where lots of the trees were cut down, and I held some of the children," said Hallum, 57. "They were listless and couldn't hold themselves up. Their eyes were dull, and it became pretty clear that they were malnourished." The farms she visited were not sustainable, she said, because the soil was eroded and lacked nutrients. Hallum, a self-proclaimed nature lover, was not formally trained in agriculture, but she knew some basic facts about trees and food products that could be cheaply grown. With the help of a former student, she researched rural resources and learned that many local Guatemalan tree varieties could be strategically replanted to provide fruit, fertilizer, coffee, food and medicinal herbs where resources were failing or nonexistent. The trees give us life. If there is too much rain, they keep the soil. And the mountainside doesn't fall down anymore. --Jose Avelino Boc, Guatemalan farmer "When we started, it was all about fighting poverty," Hallum said. "We wanted to help families farm better and feed their children better. But we started to notice that in the areas where (pine) trees were planted, the mudslides were no longer occurring. So that brought a new focus for us. Food, shade, fertilizer and mudslide protection -- the trees can do it all." Not all trees that are planted can protect against mudslides, but Hallum said pine trees planted on high mountain slopes can be most effective. Pine trees have long, anchoring tap roots that can extend 6 meters below the soil. When they are planted in slopes above residential areas, Hallum explained, heavy rains are unlikely to loosen their grip on the soil. "We learned the hard way that without trees, we are at risk, and our land is at risk," said Jose Avelino Boc, a lemon farmer and Alliance program participant. Boc, 53, has lost family and friends to mudslide disasters, and he now attributes his life and the success of his farm to Hallum's nonprofit. "The trees give us life," he said. "If there is too much rain, they keep the soil. And the mountainside doesn't fall down anymore." Constant land surveys, particularly during the rainy season, help Hallum and her team identify which rural areas need assistance. But the easiest way to determine which village to target next, Hallum said, is simply "to answer the door." Anne Hallum is encouraging Guatemalans to use trees to safeguard their lives and crops against mudslides. Landslides and Mudslides "They're coming to us directly now to ask for help," Hallum said. "People know us, and now they trust us." Local Guatemalan staff -- all trained agroforestry technicians -- are assigned six villages each and provide free weekly instructional courses on topics like tree planting, sustainable farming and air quality. Each technician remains in his or her assigned communities for five years. Hallum credits her group's success to this commitment of staying within a community until the community itself can see and reap benefits. "It's a lot of work," Hallum said. "We don't come in, plant some trees and leave. We do that, and they'll cut them down. It's a step-by-step process that starts with education. In a little time, they notice their crops are doing better; mudslides aren't happening. And the behavior changes: They start to protect the trees. We say: 'All right, you've got it. You know how to do this now.' Then we leave ... on to the next village." The Alliance for International Reforestation has helped 110 rural villages plant more than 3.8 million trees throughout Guatemala. As an added incentive for attending classes and planting trees, the group donates and installs ecofriendly, fuel-efficient cooking stoves to some program participants based on economic need. These stoves require very little firewood and give off no emissions. With the stoves, not only are fewer trees cut down, but families no longer inhale dangerous fumes caused by stovetop, chimney-less cooking. The group also provides educational resources and promotes economic independence within communities. Its agroforestry textbook series has been adopted by more than 200 Guatemalan schools. Hundreds of women have also benefited from the rural farming initiative. They help generate income for their families from the sale of fruits, salves and shampoos created from trees and fruits they learned to harvest. "I learned so much from AIR and from Anne," Doña Elena Siquinajay said. "We're 50 women in our village working together. ... We come together and plant in the tree nurseries or pack the products, and we support each other. It is a lot of work, but we enjoy it very much. Without the program, some of us would not learn anything." Although Hallum remains a full-time university professor, she spends all of her free time in Guatemala. After 40 visits, she is happy with the progress of the program and vows to keep returning to the "place where her heart remains." "I can go back to areas that were nothing but mudslides and soil erosion, and now I see forest," Hallum said. "This is not just a project. We are a team. It's about building the community and saving the planet. ... It's about a better future for the children." Want to get involved?

__label__wiki	0.882462	0.882462	Home >> Hot Issue A musician's masterful touch Yang Xiaoyu is an award-winning violinist who served as the concertmaster of the China National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra for eight years. [Photo provided to China Daily] Violinist Yang Xiaoyu brings the passion of great composers to life on stage, Cheng Yuezhu reports. Violinist Yang Xiaoyu took a rare approach in his recital by performing a master composer's series of sonatas in the order they were originally compiled, hoping to faithfully present the composer's thoughts to the audience. At the Nov 19 recital at the Beijing Concert Hall, titled The Passionate Strings, Yang performed Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaye's seven sonatas for solo violin. "It is very rare for violinists around the world to perform the complete set of sonatas written by Ysaye in one recital," he says. "By performing the whole set, the audience gets to hear the less well-known pieces, which are just as beautiful." In addition to Ysaye's famous Six Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27, the recital also marks the first performance in Beijing of his Sonate Posthume. In 2017, French violinist Philippe Graffin discovered the manuscript for the piece at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and finished the sonata's incomplete third movement, introducing to the world one of Ysaye's lost masterpieces. Yang says that the recently discovered work manifests to him Ysaye's efforts in the later stages of his life to constantly seek breakthroughs in musical expression. "The life experience and worldview embodied in his sonatas are beyond our imagination. These seven works represent the essence of his composition and the life attitude that he wanted to show the world," he says. Last month, Yang gave a recital at the National Library Arts Center Concert Hall, where he performed Italian violinist Niccolo Paganini's 24 caprices. "Playing a complete set of works allows me to follow the master's train of thought. Those pieces less performed at concerts seem to me a record of their emotions throughout life," Yang says. Rather than playing solitary movements, especially at an encore, where musicians often play at a faster tempo to showcase their dexterity, Yang feels that playing a complete set of works presents a narrative, with waxing and waning sentiments — he compares music to a kind of literature written with sound. 1 2 3 4 Next >>\| Exhibition puts ties in the frame Writers who craft scenes of wonder Shooting rockets helps launch prosperity 'Thousands of Miles' on guzheng Hit romance mystery opens across Chinese cinemas French diplomat sheds light on cultural ties Shining a light on Hainan Ballet production sees the light Book fair ends after successful return A double celebration Picturing the invisible 8 things you may not know about White Dew 8 things you may not know about Cold Dew 11 stage plays that set the seal on Renyi's reputation Oral legacies: Epics and tales told by songs Culture Insider: China's Ghost Festival Culture Insider: Customs of Sanfu - the dog days of summer Migratory swans fly south to spend winter Culture and tourism festival wraps up	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0094.json.gz/line32

Mar 24, 2022 at 3:56pm ET By: Anthony Alaniz Update: An earlier version of this story stated that the price could reach as low as $33,400 in New Jersey as noted in Polestar’s press release. However, this is incorrect. The program ended in late 2021. This has been removed from the story below. It was a year ago that Polestar announced it’d offer a single-motor version of the 2. We drove it in September, but the model is just now reaching US dealers. It’s available to order now with a $47,200 starting price (price includes the $1,300 destination charge). That price could drop lower with applicable state and federal incentives. The single-motor Polestar 2 joins the already available dual-motor model. The all-electric vehicle delivers an EPA-estimated range of 270 miles on a single charge. The single-motor setup powers the front wheels, producing 231 horsepower (172 kilowatts) and 243 pound-feet (329 Newton-meters) of torque. It gets its power from a 78-kilowatt-hour-battery pack – 75 kWh are usable. The car supported up to 155-kW DC Charging that can take the EV from 10 to 80 percent in 33 minutes. Gallery: Polestar 2 Arrives In US The addition of the single-motor model gives the Polestar 2 more range. The dual-motor variant for 2022 delivers 249 miles of range, but it also offers more horsepower and torque. Polestar offers all variants with the Plus or Pilot upgrade packages, costing $4,000 and $3,200. The Plus pack adds a mechanical heat pump that helps extend the car’s range, a WeaveTech vegan interior, a 13-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system, and a full-length panoramic glass roof. The Pilot pack adds enhanced safety features like adaptive cruise control, Polestar Pilot Assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The car can receive over-the-air updates, which have already been useful. Last year, an OTA update added 67 hp (50 kilowatts) and 50 lb-ft (20 Nm) of torque to models in select European markets. Take A Peek At More Polestar News: ⠀ Polestar O2 Concept Debuts With Old-School Proportions, Modern Age Tech Polestar 4 Will Be A Smaller SUV To Rival Porsche Macan: Report Polestar’s expanded range in the US will help the company continue to grow. The company wants to sell 65,000 models globally next year, and the single-motor Polestar 2 should help with that. It might not have 1,000 horsepower like other EVs, but mainstream electric vehicles don’t need to wow like they once did to attract customers. The amount of range a car offers is still a determining factor for buyers, but the 270-mile single-motor Polestar 2 should make that persuasion easier. Source: Polestar Got a tip for us?

Foundation Meets Bone begins with a study of this beautiful, strong, round Foundation alphabet and then morphs into the Bone alphabet which was the brain child of Jacqueline Svaren as an exercise to loosen up the rigid pen holds and stiff hands of her students which ultimately created a wild, amorphous, sexy alphabet. Bone is also based on the very formal Carolingian, and manipulated to the MAX! Be prepared to learn to walk all over again. Doing this alphabet is like nothing you’ve ever done before. The beautiful thing that happens once you master these manipulated letters, is that this skill integrates into your other alphabets and gives them that life and bounce that you admire, but were not quite sure how to get into your own. We will spend four 2-hour sessions on learning Foundational and Bone lettering styles. Homework and practice between sessions is recommended to get the most out of this series.

CSK vs KXIP Review: Chennai displayed all their might against Punjab Tags: Indian Premier League 2015, 24th match - Chennai Super Kings Vs Kings XI Punjab at Chennai - Apr 25, 2015, Kings XI Punjab, Chennai Super Kings Published on: Apr 26, 2015 IPL 8 CSK vs KXIP: In 2014, Kings XI Punjab had a brilliant season against Chennai Super Kings. On Saturday, it was a completely different Punjab and Chennai outfit that battled it out. In 2014, Kings XI Punjab had a brilliant season against Chennai Super Kings. Their batsmen, Glenn Maxwell and David Miller in particular took a liking to the Chennai bowling as they crossed 200 against the opponents on multiple occasions. On Saturday, it was a completely different Punjab and Chennai outfit that battled it out. Punjab were completely out of sorts with both bat and ball while Chennai were on top of their game. So good were Chennai that they never allowed Punjab any chance to get in. It was the sort of performance that has made them champions twice. It was Chennai's splendid batting effort that put them on top. In Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum, they have unarguably the most dangerous openers in the business. Significantly, both have been among the runs, taking turns to either play the lead role or the supporting act. While Smith has been more consistent in getting the big runs, McCullum has provided impetus from the other end as well. On Saturday however, the roles were reversed. Smith again got the team off to a flying start, but McCullum proved his worth yet again. Punjab's bowling attack is one that has impressed, and has been able to put opponents under severe pressure. But, against a quality Chennai batting line-up, they were found out. A lot of credit for the same should go to Chennai's batsmen for the manner in which they never allowed Punjab's bowlers to comeback. While the openers Smith and McCullum stood out, Chennai would be pleased with the fact that their skipper MS Dhoni finally hit rollicking form. He was found wanting in a couple of games. Ravindra Jadeja also played a cameo, but Suresh Raina's failures would be a worry. Punjab were under pressure chasing, but it must be said that they came up with a extremely poor batting effort. Right from the time Virender Sehwag fell cheaply, they needed seemed to have a plan in place. The poor form of Glenn Maxwell had been concerning them, leading to him being dropped from the game. But, it didn't make much of a difference as the others were very poor. David Miller and skipper George Bailey needed to anchor the chase following the early wickets, but they are disappointing. It was a disastrous batting effort they need to put behind very quickly. The bowling efforts of the two teams on the day was like chalk and cheese. Punjab were extremely poor, never managing to exercise any sort of control over Chennai's batsmen. From Mitchell Johnson to Anureet Singh and Sandeep Sharma, they all struggled. Chennai's batsmen never allowed them to get into any sort of rhythm. Chennai's bowlers had an easier task since they already had runs on the board. Still, credit must be given to everyone from Ashish Nehra to Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja for the manner in which they bowled.

The Raw Materials Conference brings together leading representatives of industry, policymaking and national government around a policy area which is of vital importance for the competitiveness of EU industry, including for SMEs. Making the case for a resource‐efficient and competitive approach to raw materials policy in Europe, the Nickel Institute called on EU regulators to focus on ensuring consistency between policy goals so as to enhance and not hinder innovation and competitiveness. Speaking at the conference, Dr Kevin Bradley, Nickel Institute President said that resource efficiency is common practice in the metals industry. “Saving energy, raw materials, process inputs and enhancing recycling are essential for our member companies to maintain their competitiveness on a global scale.” “Metals such as nickel also contribute to resource efficiency. For instance, nickel‐containing stainless steel is durable, corrosion‐resistant, has a long lifespan and can be ful y recycled – all properties which contribute to resource efficiency”, Bradley noted. Dr Bradley went on to warn that, “It’s important to remember that the EU competes with the US, China and the rest of the world. We need a global level playing field – not just a European one. It is in the interests of European jobs, innovation and competitiveness to ensure that EU policymakers focus on practical synergies around resource efficiency and competitiveness.” Kathryn Sheridan ks@sustainabilityconsult.com Phone: +32 496 116198 (Europe) / (202) 470 3239 (North America) About the Nickel Institute The Nickel Institute is a nonprofit organization that represents the interests of 23 companies which together produce more than 75% of the world’s annual nickel output. We promote on behalf of our members the production, use and re‐use (through recycling) of nickel in a social y and environmentally responsible manner. The Nickel Institute was established in 2004, following the merger of the Nickel Development Institute (NiDI) and the Nickel Producers Environmental Research Association (NiPERA).

He was the son of the river god Cephissus and nymph Liriope. He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus drowned. Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance. The Narcisissme Stick The selfie stick provides the possibility to capture yourself with who and whatever you want. For example with your friends, the eiffeltower or the dessert. Despise with who or whatever you are capturing yourself here is always one constant factor: you are in the picture. We believe that by using a selfie stick there is a, big, possibility that people got obsessed by this. Everything they see, and with every one they meet, they want to be captured. They want to be captured. And this is where the reality starts warping. The world has turned into potential selfies. Everything can be a selfie. And for the people who are lost in the world of selfies these are selfies. We are going to warp this warped reality into a new stick. A stick with, instead of a phone or a camera, a mirror. By this we want to show that we believe that the selfie stick is not about capturing yourself with friends or landscapes, but it is about capturing yourself. By replacing the camera for a mirror we are zooming in on this. We, as we in dutch say, willen op deze manier een spiegel voorhouden. references Stëfan Schäfer Stëfan Schäfer & Selby Gildemacher: Extensions of Man For the ongoing Extensions of Man project, we’ve developed a tool entitled “The Selfie Extender”.

About the Movie (studio synopsis) Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance and disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson, Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater and Billy Zane as Rose's fiance, Cal Hockley. Jack and Rose are members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage. Cameron's inspiration for the film was predicated on his fascination with shipwrecks; he wanted to convey the emotional message of the tragedy, and felt that a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to achieving this. Production on the film began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built at Playas de Rosarito, Baja California, and scale models and computer-generated imagery were also used to recreate the sinking. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox--respectively, its American and international distributors--and at the time, it was the most expensive film ever made, with an estimated budget of $200 million.

__label__wiki	0.527222	0.527222	California's 4th-grade mission mythology Lying to Children About the California Missions and the Indians By Deborah A. MirandaAll my life, I have heard only one story about California Indians: godless, dirty, stupid, primitive, ugly, passive, drunken, immoral, lazy, weak-willed people who might make good workers if properly trained and motivated. What kind of story is that to grow up with? The story of the missionization of California. In 1769, after missionizing much of Mexico, the Spaniards began to move up the west coast of North America in order to establish claims to rich resources and before other European nations could get a foothold. Together, the Franciscan priests and Spanish soldiers "built" a series of 21 missions along what is now coastal California. (California's Indigenous peoples, numbering more than 1 million at the time, did most of the actual labor.) These missions, some rehabilitated from melting adobe, others in near-original state, are now one of the state's biggest tourist attractions; in the little town of Carmel, Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo is the biggest attraction. Elsewhere, so-called Mission décor drenches Southern California, from restaurants to homes, apartment buildings, animal shelters, grocery stores, and post offices. In many neighborhoods, a bastardized Mission style is actually required by cities or neighborhood associations. Along with this visual mythology of adobe and red clay roof tiles comes the cultural storytelling that drains the missions of their brutal and bloody pasts for popular consumption. In California schools, students come up against the "Mission Unit" in 4th grade, reinforcing the same lies those children have been breathing in most of their lives. Part of California's history curriculum, the unit is entrenched in the educational system and impossible to avoid, a powerfully authoritative indoctrination in Mission Mythology to which 4th graders have little if any resistance. Intense pressure is put upon students (and their parents) to create a "Mission Project" that glorifies the era and glosses over both Spanish and Mexican exploitation of Indians, as well as enslavement of those same Indians during U.S. rule. In other words, the Mission Unit is all too often a lesson in imperialism, racism, and Manifest Destiny rather than actually educational or a jumping-off point for critical thinking or accurate history. I can confirm that my California school had a "mission" unit. I was in 5th grade, but it was a joint social studies class with grades 3-5 (experimental school). We divided into teams and made some sort of cutout missions, but nothing as good as these. What's up with constructing missions, anyway? What about the White House, the Alamo, or Sutter's Mill? Why is a mission the only historical building constructed by California students? Someone could make the case that this veers too far into state-sponsored religion. I mean, you could read the Bible or reenact a Catholic ceremony and claim it was for learning about California's mission era. Constructing a mission isn't much different.

Mrs. Briana Titus, photographer The Regional Food Bank's Food or Kids program started as a pilot program in 2003 after hearing a firsthand account of an Oklahoma City elementary student who fainted on a Monday morning while waiting in the school lunch line, due to lack of food over the weekend. The program provides chronically hungry children with backpacks filled with non-perishable, nutritious, kid-friendly, shelf-stable food to sustain them over weekends and school holidays. During the 2014-2015 school year, the Backpack Program served nearly 18,500 elementary school students attending 514 schools across 53 central and western Oklahoma counties, providing more than 2 million meals for chronically hungry children.. Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma Totals 75 total people volunteered/represented Casady. 9,630 meals packed. 3,852 backpacks! Food sorting and packing: "This is really fun." "This is the best!"

OKC National Memorial and Museum Advocacy/Research Service 9:45-4:00 pm "At the core of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum’s mission are efforts to educate about the impact of violence, as well as advocate for violence prevention. Our legislature was integral in passing progressive legislation to ensure the Oklahoma City bombing is taught in all U.S. and Oklahoma history classes in the state." Mrs. Carmen Clay, Daniela Rodriguez-Chavez'19 -reporting Anna Buckley, Timothy Bryer-Ash, and Mrs. Shannon Presti -photographers Interactive learning experience facilitated by Youth LEAD OKCasady, Daniela R-C'19 who created the advocacy to reconnect to the Oklahoma Standard project after an investigation visit to the museum the Sunday before MLK Day 2016 with her cultural competency, diversity/identity education, and leadership through service youth board, Youth LEAD OKC. http://youthleadokc.blogspot.com/ This project brought together teens from Casady, Heritage Hall, Putnam City West, and Capitol Hill High Schools. 20 teens and 3 adults received free admission to the museum courtesy of the museum and lunch and snacks courtesy of Casady School Upper Division Principal, Dr. Jon Powell To begin the day, after waiting a few minutes for people to arrive, Daniela ushered participants to the museum's classroom and facilitated a welcome, "share your expectations" on post it notes while enjoying a cereal bar. " I think this museum will probably make me feel really sad because the OKC bombing caused a lot of casualties. But the more important thing is not the sadness. The more important thing is what this tragedy teaches us." z.c. "I think I will learn more information on the Oklahoma City bombing in the sense of how it happened, the people it affected, and the consequences enforced. At the end of this experience, I hope to develop a better understanding and compassion for our community." i.o. Then, Daniela took participants to the Museum, an experience "through a chronological self-guided tour of the story of April 19, 1995, and the days, weeks and years that followed the bombing of Oklahoma City's Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The story tracks the remarkable journey of loss, resilience, justice, and hope." At the end of the tour, back at the Museum's classroom, during a Cheezets and hydrating water break, Mrs. Beverly Kirk, a guest from Diversi-Tea and quilter, put the museum in "real time" perspective because of her personal experiences with victims and survivors of the bombing. Mrs. Kirk also connected the museum's visit to Dr. King's vision of peace, understanding, teamwork, collaboration, and going beyond co-existence interactivity. The morning continued with a lesson at the museum Uncover-Discover STEM forensics lab. The lab "creates a multimedia experience that aims to excite and encourage students to pursue STEM careers. The Uncover-Discover Lab integrates STEM concepts with history in a highly interactive environment that stimulates learning and connects the past with the future. TheUncover-Discover Lab is an academically oriented experience that is geared toward middle and high school students." Mrs. Shannon Presti, Youth LEAD OKC CEO suggested to work in groups by birthday months to connect teens from different schools. Mrs. Lynn Porter facilitated the session. Special thanks to Mrs. Porter for helping Daniela create this advocacy for hope, kindness, service, and honor opportunity for Cyclones and Oklahoma City teens on her day off from work. During pizza and salad lunch time, a quick survey by Mrs. Clay and Mrs. Kirk showed that most teens had taken tours with their schools of the memorial, but only a couple had visited our state of the art memorial museum. The lab was a second experience to a hand full of participants. Most teens were born by 9/11. The bombing is something they read about in books, see online remembrances off or have indirect connections with, as when some of the members of the Class of 2019 explored the Museum's Hope Trunk and planted a survival tree seedling at the Casady campus during Peace Week when they were in the 5th grade. Survival Tree Seedling Planting in honor of September 21, 2011 - International Day of Peace, Class of 2019 http://pinwheels-4-peaceinlanguageclasses.blogspot.com/2011/09/casady-pinwheels-one-goal-peace.html In the afternoon Daniela ushered the group to a quick outside tour of the Memorial guided by a Park Ranger in a very cold winter MLK Day. As the freezing temperatures shorten the experience, the group had an opportunity to visit the museum's store before starting a tour of the Museum's archives facilitated by Mrs. Porter. "The Memorial Archives has assisted researchers from all over the country and the world. Resources from the Memorial Archives have been utilized for projects ranging from middle school research papers to doctoral dissertations to video documentaries, even to assisting novelists." At the archives, Mrs. Clay showed a collage of 1,000 service pics from 2000-2005 that created a picture of the memorial walls and reflecting pool made by Cyclone Bandon Spivey'05. Brandon named his collage, "Reflecting Resilience." At the archives, the group discovered many historical facts and stories of how violence and death turned into hope and serenity by the Oklahoma Standard displayed after the bombing. "April 19, 1995, altered the face of Oklahoma – and the nation – forever. But rather than bow to fear as the attackers intended, the community banded together. Cars became ambulances. Strangers became neighbors. People literally donated the shoes off their feet. Visiting rescue workers and journalists called this spirit of generosity the “Oklahoma Standard.” When Mrs. Porter was asked about the relationship between the 9/11 museum and the OKC museum, she mentioned that the NYC organizers had consulted with our museum before building the NYC Memorial and Museum. Sadly, some of the rescue workers who helped in the OKC bombing, perished while helping during 9/11. Another difference pinpointed was that it only took a few years to build our memorial. It took a decade to build the 9/11 Memorial. Mrs. Clay co-related the Museum archives and its value of preserving history to the Casady archives, where the history of Casady is preserved from its inception in 1947 until the present. An example, a picture of Mrs. Clay as an exchange student from Peru in the school year of 1973-74 can be found there. The Casady archives location is at the Casady Crabtree Library. After the archives visit, Daniela ushered the group to a First Person presentation. Due to the MLK Day Parade, our speaker was a few minutes late. This gave Mrs. Porter the opportunity to do a quick survey of the audience about the Oklahoma Standard. Some adults were aware of the meaning and shared what they did during the month of April 2015 in honor of the 20th anniversary of remembrance. Mrs. Clay reminded some students of Mrs. Crossno explanation of the Oklahoma standard: "A rescue NYC firefighter came with only $20 in his pocket. At the end of his stay in Oklahoma City, the generosity of Oklahomans thankful for the work he was doing, the firefighter left with the same $20 in his pocket. " Mrs. Porter introduced our first person speaker as the story of a survivor, geologist, Mr. Ed Eckenstein. We will never forget his analogy of rocks and backpacks! McVeigh had to have been carefully taught to hate the government. Negative indoctrination finds fertile ground on trouble souls. The company he kept and the actions he endured created what he became, he had heavy rocks in his backpack of life. We need to take those rocks away with acts of kindness, service, compassion, and honor...The Oklahoma Standard! C.C. To end the day, turning STEM into STEAMS2 (adding the arts, service and spirituality to our day), Daniela, helped by Mrs. Kirk(Quilter) and Mrs. Clay (Zen Music), asked participants to create a quilt patch relating their personal roots and fruits of service, their experience at the museum and the survivor tree. Participants viewed a quilt that began at MLK Day 2005 and ended in 2010 as an example, but not necessary a model. The sample quilt resides at the Casady archives. Mrs. Kirk motivated participants to use their personal creativity since Daniela stated that a tree was something Casady freshmen had just done as an English class reflective piece. "I learned about how the people of Oklahoma reacted and rebounded from the bombing. Through their compassion and empathy the Oklahoma Standard was born. I hope to help our generation succeed and help maintain the standards and values we have died to represent. By learning about the memorial, I have gained a better understanding of our city and what we stand for. I hope to translate these values to the people around me and in generations to come" J.A. "I think teenagers volunteering at memorial on a free day really shows the community how we care and cherish every moment we have." Q.B. "This service learning impacted me because it taught me more of the tragedies of the OKC bombing and how even something bad can bring a community together. I feel I impacted the community today by providing and creating a quilt for those in need and learning of sad historical events that should never be repeated." T.B. "Today showed me the power of being compassionate, and how a small thing can have a big impact" P.Q. "This project has shown me so much that I did not know. We learn only briefly what happened on April 19, 1995 in school. Coming to this museum shows us the process of accepting achieving justice, and healing together. We forget sometimes how we come to be, who we are, and the bombing is a huge part of Oklahoma's character" B. H. " I am so glad I came to his museum. Through the tour today, I learnt that if everyone can make some small action, all of them put together will make a huge difference. We also need to learn from this bombing, "don't let tragedy just be a tragedy."Z.C. "I realized how hard it must have been for everyone and how long it took to heal. It made me want to help more" H.H. "First time the Oklahoma Standard was both explained and shown, with all of the support given by Oklahomans and the amazing memorial built to honor those killed." J.L. Daniela stated that the finished quilt will have a home at a children place where it can inspire to recommit to the Oklahoma standard, kindness, compassion and service. Mrs. Kirk will be our quilt making facilitator. She will come to Casady YAC and Youth LEAD OKC meetings for that purpose. To end the day, Mrs. Clay asked participants to leave on a post-it note what the impact of the day at the museum had been on them and the community served? What did they learned?/ How were they changed by this experience?/ How this time at the museum could help them to make a difference in the community? "Today, I realized the impact of negativity and hate on the world and people in it. But, I also realized the impact of love and community, and how inspiring it can be. I've been inspired to spread more love and kindness around our community." c.c.

He tries in vain to use drugs to pass out and in his sleep-deprived state, is hit by a car. He winds up in the locked psychiatric ward at [[Northern Indiana State Hospital]], being treated for a broken rib, lacerations, and what [[Dr Kadinsky]] tells [[Dean]] is a full-blown psychotic episode. The doctors have administered several sedatives, but Sam remains conscious. Dean goes to see Sam in his room, where Hallucifer sits playing cat's cradle, and tells Sam he'll find him help.

Sam is skeptical, saying they always knew putting his soul back would end badly. Dean leaves and heads to [[Rufus's Cabin]], where he calls some of [[Bobby \|Bobby's]] contacts. He's getting nowhere, though, and he leaves Bobby's journal on the table and goes to the fridge for a beer. He's across the room when the journal topples to the ground and a card for Mackey's Taxidermy falls out. Dean calls the number and leaves a message.

He's across the room when the journal topples to the ground and a card for Mackey's Taxidermy falls out. Dean calls the number and leaves a message. Meanwhile, Sam is still awake because of Hallucifer, who comments that he and Sam being in a locked ward together is just like the Cage. Sam ignores him and later tries to eat a sandwich, but when he looks at it it's full of maggots. He drops it on the ground and backs away, then notices another patient watching from his door. She leaves without saying anything. At the cabin, Dean is looking for information online when he receives a call from a hunter named [[Mackey]]. Mackey tells him about a healer named Emmanuel in Colorado. He claims that Emmanuel passed all of his monster tests and then healed his damaged eye with one touch. Encouraged, Dean goes to Emmanuel's house in Colorado. He meets a man who claims to be Emmanuel at the front door, but sees a woman tied up in the house. When he looks back, the man's eyes are black as he throws Dean into the front door. Dean reminds the demon about Crowley's "hands-off memo," but the demon laughs and says that because Dean hasn't managed to kill [[Dick Roman]], Crowley will want Emmanuel more than he wants Dean. Dean quickly kills the demon with [[Ruby's knife]], and then looks up to find Emmanuel, who is the spitting image of [[Castiel]], watching him.

Dean quickly kills the demon with [[Ruby's knife]], and then looks down to find Emmanuel, who bears remarkable resemblance to [[Castiel]], watching him. Emmanuel doesn't recognize Dean, has no knowledge of demons, and no memory of being an angel. He thanks Dean for saving his wife, [[Daphne Allen\|Daphne]], and then says that he saw the real face of the man Dean killed. Dean tells him that it was a demon and that he's there because he needs help for his brother. Emmanuel doesn't recognize Dean, has no knowledge of demons, and no memory of being an [[angel]].

Dean tells him that it was a demon and that he's there because he needs help for his brother. Meanwhile in the locked ward, the patient who saw Sam's reaction to his sandwich brings him a stolen chocolate bar. Sam thanks her and learns her name, [[Marin]], but can't get further than introductions because Hallucifer is tormenting him with a loudspeaker. Later, Hallucifer continues to torture Sam, lighting firecrackers in the ward. An orderly, [[Marcus]], brings Sam his meal, and Sam asks Marcus about Marin. Marcus doesn't tell him much, only that unlike him, she wasn't brought to the psychiatric ward because of an accident.

Marcus doesn't tell him much, only that unlike him, she wasn't brought to the psychiatric ward because of an accident. Dean and Emmanuel talk in the car on the way to Indiana. Emmanuel tells him that a few months ago, Daphne found him by a river, "drenched, confused, and unclothed." He had no memory, and Daphne claimed God wanted her to find him. Dean mentions the possibility that Emmanuel was a bad guy, but Emmanuel says he doesn't feel like a bad person. Emmanuel tells Dean he can cure illnesses of a spiritual origin and should be able to help Sam. Dean goes on to tell him that he is unable to forgive his friend Cas, who betrayed him and caused Sam's illness. Emmanuel, who still has no memory, comments that Cas is an odd name.

Dean goes on to tell him that he is unable to forgive his friend Cas, who betrayed him and caused Sam's illness. Emmanuel, who still has no memory, comments that Cas is an odd name. That same night, Marin brings Sam another chocolate bar. She tells Sam that she's been in the ward for 5 weeks and that the doctors think she's suicidal. He asks her for the truth, and she tells him that she hears her dead brother's voice. He wants her to kill herself to be with him, and if she doesn't, he'll do it for her. He's already started a fire to try to kill her. After confessing, she leaves, upset. The next morning, Dean goes into a convenience store and is confronted by three demons. He kills one and then is knocked back, losing Ruby's knife. Thankfully, [[Meg]] shows up and kills one demon while the other flees. Dean is surprised to see her, and she tells him that she's there because of rumors about a wandering healer, who she's shocked to learn is "poor dead Castiel." She has an ongoing feud with [[Crowley]] and, like Dean, doesn't want him to know about Cas. Although they don't trust each other, they both need friends, so Dean agrees to let her come with them to Indiana as long as she doesn't remind Castiel of his true identity yet. The three of them leave together. Back in the locked ward, Sam apologizes to Marin for upsetting her. Then he tells her that he believes her about her brother and wants to help. From his questions, Sam learns that Marin feels cold before her brother talks to her, and that she's heard him in more than one place despite the fact that he's cremated. Sure that he's a ghost, Sam tells her that he can put her brother to rest, and then asks her if she has anything of his. She wears a bracelet he made for her with an injured hand - it's likely he bled on it. Sam tells her what they need, and she brings back salt and a lighter she stole from Marcus. They make a ring of salt and stand inside it, and when Sam asks her for her bracelet, the ghost of Marin's brother appears. He breaks the lights in the room and pleads with Marin not to do it. She gives Sam the bracelet and he burns it, causing her brother to go up in flames. Marin thanks Sam, and he tells her to go. She leaves quickly just before orderlies enter the ward to restrain Sam. Dizzy, Sam looks up to see Hallucifer standing over Dr Kadinsky's shoulder as the doc explains to Sam that they cannot give him any more medication and should try surgery instead.

Dean, Meg, and Emmanuel finally arrive at Northern Indiana State Hospital that night. They can't get inside, though, because it's surrounded by demons. Meg and Dean retreat to talk in private, and Meg insists that they remind Cas who he is so he can destroy the demons. Dean warns her that after what Cas did, he could snap and disappear. Emmanuel overhears Dean and tells him that he wants to know who he is. Dean is hesitant, but Meg tells him he's an angel and that he and Dean were best friends who used to fight together. Emmanuel realizes that he must be the "Cas" that Dean told him about, and he apologizes. Then he resolves to fight the demons in front of the hospital, even though he doesn't remember how. He approaches the demons, who are shocked to see him alive. Before they can do anything, Castiel puts his hand on one of them and exorcises it with a blast of light. As he exorcises the rest of them, his memories come back to him, assaulting him with images of his partnership with Crowley and his betrayal of Dean. Once the demons are taken care of, Meg and Dean approach him. He tells them that he remembers them—he remembers everything. He's disgusted with himself and moves to leave, but Dean chases after him. When it seems like he's trying to defend Castiel's past acts, Castiel tells him he deserved to die for the things he did. He doesn't think he can fix anything, but Dean believes he can. He reaches into the trunk of his [[Dodge Charger\|car]] and pulls out [[Castiel's Trench Coat\|Castiel's trench coat]]. He approaches the demons, who are shocked to see him alive.

He starts to panic and asks for his brother, but the orderly ignores him and sticks a rubber mouthguard between his teeth. He says that he's going to start Sam off on a high setting, just as his eyes flash black. Sam struggles, but can't escape, and the demon electrocutes him. He's about to turn up the setting again when Castiel appears behind him, trench coat on, and exorcises him. Castiel then unhooks Sam from the electroshock machine and reaches out to heal him, but it doesn't work. Sam still sees Hallucifer.

He's about to increase the electrical setting again when Castiel appears behind him with his old trench coat on before smiting him. Castiel releases Sam from the electroshock machine and reaches out to heal him, but it doesn't work and Sam still sees Hallucifer. Back in Sam's room, Castiel tells Dean that he can't rebuild the wall in Sam's mind because it's completely crumbled. Dean is upset, and Castiel tells him that he can't make the problem disappear… but he might be able to shift it. Dean is confused, and Castiel approaches Sam's bedside, telling him that it's better this way. He apologizes to Sam and then puts his hand on his head. Red light emanates from around Sam's eyes and then runs up Castiel's arm and into his eyes.

When Castiel lets go of Sam, Sam becomes lucid. He sees Dean and then notices that Castiel is next to him. He says his name, but Castiel doesn't answer him because, instead of Sam, he sees Hallucifer laying on Sam's bed. He retreats in fear. When Sam and Dean leave the hospital, they leave without Castiel, who is now a member of the locked psychiatric ward himself. The only demon who knows where he is is Meg, who's insinuated herself onto the ward's staff as a nurse. Sam is reluctant to leave Cas in her hands, but Dean tells him that it's the only option they have.

Monster Hallucifer Location(s) Colorado 4 Music 6 Trivia & References 7 Minutiae 8 Sides, Scripts & Transcripts 9 Promotion Sam has been awake for five days, tormented by Hallucifer, who tells Sam he'll only survive another week without sleep. He tries in vain to use drugs to pass out and in his sleep-deprived state, is hit by a car. He winds up in the locked psychiatric ward at Northern Indiana State Hospital, being treated for a broken rib, lacerations, and what Dr. Kadinsky tells Dean is a "full-blown psychotic episode." The doctors have administered several sedatives, but Sam remains conscious. Dean goes to see Sam in his room, where Hallucifer sits playing cat's cradle, and tells Sam he'll find him help. Sam is skeptical, saying they always knew putting his soul back would end badly. Dean leaves and heads to Rufus's cabin, where he calls some of Bobby's contacts. He's getting nowhere, though, and he leaves Bobby's journal on the table and goes to the fridge for a beer. He's across the room when the journal topples to the ground and a card for Mackey's Taxidermy falls out. Dean calls the number and leaves a message. At the cabin, Dean is looking for information online when he receives a call from a hunter named Mackey. Mackey tells him of a healer named Emmanuel in Colorado. He claims that Emmanuel passed all of his monster tests and then healed his damaged eye with one touch. Encouraged, Dean goes to Emmanuel's house in Colorado. He meets a man who claims to be Emmanuel at the front door, but sees a woman tied up in the house. When he looks back, the man's eyes are black as he throws Dean into the front door. Dean reminds the demon about Crowley's "hands-off memo," but the demon laughs and says that because Dean hasn't managed to kill Dick Roman, Crowley will want Emmanuel more than he wants Dean. Dean quickly kills the demon with Ruby's knife, and then looks down to find Emmanuel, who bears remarkable resemblance to Castiel, watching him. Emmanuel doesn't recognize Dean, has no knowledge of demons, and no memory of being an angel. He thanks Dean for saving his wife, Daphne, and then says that he saw the real face of the man Dean killed. Dean tells him that it was a demon and that he's there because he needs help for his brother. Meanwhile in the locked ward, the patient who saw Sam's reaction to his sandwich brings him a stolen chocolate bar. Sam thanks her and learns her name is Marin, but can't get further than introductions because Hallucifer is tormenting him with a loudspeaker. Later, Hallucifer continues to torture Sam, lighting firecrackers in the ward. An orderly, Marcus, brings Sam his meal, and Sam asks Marcus about Marin. Marcus doesn't tell him much, only that unlike him, she wasn't brought to the psychiatric ward because of an accident. The next morning, Dean goes into a convenience store and is confronted by three demons. He kills one and then is knocked back, losing Ruby's knife. Thankfully, Meg shows up and kills one demon while the other flees. Dean is surprised to see her, and she tells him that she's there because of rumors about a wandering healer, who she's shocked to learn is "poor dead Castiel." She has an ongoing feud with Crowley and, like Dean, doesn't want him to know about Cas. Although they don't trust each other, they both need friends, so Dean agrees to let her come with them to Indiana as long as she doesn't remind Castiel of his true identity yet. The three of them leave together. He approaches the demons, who are shocked to see him alive. Before they can do anything, Castiel smites them all. His memories come back to him in the process, assaulting him with images of his partnership with Crowley and his betrayal of Dean. Once the demons are taken care of, Meg and Dean approach him. He tells them that he remembers them—he remembers everything. He's disgusted with himself and starts to leave, but Dean chases after him. When it seems like he is trying to defend Castiel's past acts, Castiel tells him he deserved to die for the things he did. He doesn't think he can fix anything, but Dean believes he can. He reaches into the trunk of his car and pulls out Castiel's trench coat.

Dean: If I don't find something... Sam: Then I'll die. Hallucifer: Oh - you're upsetting me! Emmanuel/Castiel: Your friend's name was Cas? That's an odd name. Marin: I saw you yesterday, you didn’t look too happy with your in flight meal. Meg: You're an angel. Castiel: I'm sorry - is that a flirtation? Dean: This ain’t going to go well. Meg: I dunno, I believe in the little tree topper. Trivia & References The episode title "The Born-Again Identity" is a play on the 2002 spy thriller movie The Bourne Identity (which was based a novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum). In the film, the main character Jason Bourne, played by Matt Damon, finds himself suffering from amnesia, and attempts to discover who he is. Along the way he finds he has a number of skills – speaking multiple languages, proficiency in hand-to-hand combat – that give him clues to his identity. The film was previously referenced in 6.22 The Man Who Knew Too Much. Tweaker is a slang term for someone who is addicted to crystal meth. The bar through the windscreen is reminiscent of the death scene in 2.13 Houses of the Holy where a pole bounces through a windscreen and impales a man. It is not possible to die from lack of sleep. However, severe mental and physical disturbances do occur. The record for the longest a person has gone without sleep without stimulants is Randy Gardner. His record is 264.4 hours (11 days 24 minutes). Doctor: You're Sam Smith's brother? Dean and Sam are using the aliases given to them by Frank in 7.06 Slash Fiction. Coincidentally, Sam Smith is the name of the actress who played Mary Winchester, their mother. In the episode 4.17 It's a Terrible Life, Dean Smith is the name Dean was given by Zachariah. Both that episode and this one were written by Sera Gamble. Dean: It's not like the guy's freaking Norman Bates. Norman Bates was the serial killer in the Hitchcock movie Psycho, who killed his mother, kept her corpse in his house and assumed her identity. Previously mentioned in 5.19 Hammer of the Gods. Dean: Quit being Dalai-friggin-Yoda about this. Get pissed! Dean has mashed up the names of two individuals known for their equanimity in the face of challenges - the spiritual leader of Tibet Dalai Lama (whose name he mispronounces) and Jedi Master Yoda. Sam: It's all snake oil. Snake oil is a derogatory term used to describe fraudulent medical practices. Sam: Last faith healer we hooked up with had a reaper on a leash. Sam is referring to the events of 1.12 Faith, in which he tried to find a faith healer for the stricken Dean. Hallucifer: Narcissistic personality disorder. Okay, now this one I could have. Narcissistic personality disorder is a condition characterized by egocentrism, arrogance, entitlement, a desire for control, and a lack of empathy. It is thought to be a way of compensating for a severe sense of personal imperfection and unworthiness. In 5.11 Sam, Interrupted which took place in a mental hospital, Dean's hallucinated doctor tells him he is "paranoid schizophrenic with a narcissistic personality disorder and religious psychosis". While Dean is trying to find help for Sam, Bobby's journal inexplicably falls on the floor, and a card for "Mackey's Taxidermy" falls out. Mackey in turn leads Dean to Castiel. This is the third time such an event has occurred - a possible hint that Bobby's ghost is around. The other two events were Dean's beer disappearing in 7.11 Adventures in Babysitting and a helpful paper moving to the top of a pile in 7.13 The Slice Girls. While running away from Hallucifer in his sleep-deprived state, Sam gets a phone call from Lars Ulrich. Lars Ulrich is the drummer for American heavy metal band, Metallica. Emmanuel's wife Daphne may be a reference to Daphne, a nymph in Greek mythology who was unwillingly pursued by Apollo. Out of desperation, Daphne prayed to be turned into a laurel tree so as to escape his advances. As her "marriage" to Emmanuel is not referred to again after this episode, this could allude to it being entirely a ruse to ward off strangers and not draw attention. Emmanuel: [about the demon] I saw his face. His real face. In 3.16 No Rest for the Wicked, Dean, in the last 24 hours of the year he was given after his crossroads deal, could see demons' real faces: Dean: I could see its face, its real face, under that one. Meg: Dean, Dean, Dean. You got some 'splaining to do! "Lucy, you've got some 'splainin to do!" was a catchphrase of Lucy's husband Ricky Ricardo in the '50/'60s sitcom I Love Lucy starring Lucille Ball. Luci is a fandom nickname for Lucifer, first used by Gabriel in 5.19 Hammer of the Gods. Meg: You sure we wouldn't be safer travelling with a full-throttle angel? A reference to the 2003 movie Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, which was directed by executive producer McG. One of Sam's hallucinations is that his sandwich is full of maggots. In 3.09 Malleus Maleficarum, a witch's target nearly chokes to death after discovering that his burger is full of maggots. Meg: (to Cas) That was beautiful, Clarence. A reference to angel Clarence from It's A Wonderful Life. The name was previously used by Meg in 5.10 Abandon All Hope.... Hallucifer: [about The Three Little Pigs] I see that third little pig was smart. Went out and got some bricks. In 3.05 Bedtime Stories, a man survived an attack that killed his two brothers by hiding next to some concrete blocks in a violent recreation of the Three Little Pigs. Doctor: Welcome to the team, Nurse Masters. Meg is using the name of her season 1 meatsuit, Meg Masters. Tweets from producer Jim Michaels during the episode. At JiB con 2012, Jensen talked about the trench coat scene, describing it as "awkward," pointing out that the jacket was in a stolen car, that Dean wouldn't have folded it that nicely, describing the written dialogue as, "It was so bad," and saying that he and Misha ended up changing the dialogue. One fan who won a copy of the script from Misha posted the relevant pages on Tumblr. The removed lines have Dean saying, of the trench coat he's holding, "Dumb to keep. I know. I saw you-- dissolve or whatever. But, just in case. 'Cause I never stopped wanting to fix it either. So we got something in common. Just-- take it. Please." Though, there may have been an earlier version of the script that Jensen was referring to, as he talked with Misha at JiB con 2012, and they mentioned Castiel having a line that they changed, and Dean having a line that referenced something like the smell of the coat or Dean cuddling up to it. Jensen said Misha had called the scene "gay" in a previous panel, and Jensen referred to it as "unmanly" saying, "Which would make sense because (Sera Gamble, the writer) is a girl. (...) She writes amazing, but sometimes there are some effeminate lines (like) "I guess I really hoped you'd come back someday." " Minutiae #WelcomehomeMisha trended on Twitter before the episode. Marin, the patient who is being haunted by her brother, is played by Kacey Rohl, the daughter of Mike Rohl who had directed ten episodes of Supernatural at the time of airing. Emmanuel lived in Colorado. Emmanuel said he got his name from bouncingbabynames.com. Attempting to access the website will give you a 403 error from the Web Server at GISHWHES.

This is the time of year when iconic automotive organizations, magazines and experts bestow their awards on the best cars of the year. The 2015 Volkswagen Golf is one of three finalists for the 2015 North American Car of the Year award, up against the Hyundai Genesis and the Ford Mustang. While at first glance, it might seem that winning is a long shot, consider that the Golf GTI has already been declared Motor Trend Magazine's Car of the Year, and even Yahoo's Car of the Year. Perhaps it is time for a closer look. It has been 30 years since the Golf won Motor Trend's top nod. At that time, it fell into the domestic category, since it was manufactured in Pennsylvania. This year, it was nearly unanimously chosen by judges after displaying a strong performance in each of their six categories: advancement in design, efficiency, engineering excellence, performance of intended function, safety, and value. Motor Trend calls the 2015 Volkswagen Golf a "jackrabbit of all trades."On the design front, the 2015 Golf is not fancy, but it has definitely grown sleeker and sportier than it's predecessor. Visually, it appeals to both the young and old, a rare accomplishment in automotive. Inside, attention to detail and refinement are immediately evident. All New 2017 Volkswagen Golf The 2017 Volkswagen Golf will be all new, the eighth generation of the popular car in 40 years of production, according to a report in a German magazine. Most car cycles last about 7 years, before a new generation is launched. The current model of the Volkswagen Golf was launched in 2012, so a complete overhaul after only 5 years is unusual. The Volkswagen Golf is Europe's best-selling car. The German magazine, Auto motor und sport had a few details about the all new 2017 Volkswagen Golf, but Volkswagen isn't commenting yet. The magazine says that the new generation will look much different from the current one. It will be lower and wider, with a variety of new design features such as restyled front and rear lights. 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen In Canada it's called the Golf Wagon, in the United States, it's known as the Jetta Sportwagen, and in Europe, it's the Golf Estate. All different names for the same car: the Volkswagen Golf Wagon. The new edition is already being sold in Europe, and we will get our hands on it in early 2015. This car is very interesting because it offers plenty of space, comes with a diesel version and now, offers a smaller silhouette with sporty accents. It's new front end was inspired by the regular Golf, sporting a much more dynamic appearance. Two powertrains are on the schedule. First, a turbocharged four-cylinder 1.8 litre gasoline engine that can be paired to either a manual five-speed or a six-speed automatic, and delivers 170 horsepower. A diesel, the single one in this vehicle's category, gets 150 horses and is also equipped with a turbocharger. It's choice of transmissions is more advanced; a manual six-speed or a dual-clutch six-speed automatic. AWD could be offered as an option. A New Model for Golf Canadians love the Volkswagen Golf. There's something just so outdoorsy and well.. Canadian about the car. We love it, but for some reason it's rarely at the top of our shopping list. In Europe though, the situation is much different. Volkswagen is the largest automotive manufacturer in Europe. Trade-in estimate request To receive a trade-in estimate if you buy this vehicle, enter your contact information below.
