The day the Olympic Torch came to Drab

Let me tell you about a south London suburb which I know rather well.

I will not name it so as to spare it embarrassment; but if you have heard of it, the name will make your heart sink slightly.  And so for the purpose of this blogpost, I will call the place “Drab”.

There is not a great deal to Drab.

It has a High Street which you drive or cycle down on the way out of London to Kent or Surrey.   Few people stop in Drab High Street, and to be frank there are not many shops worth stopping for.  Most of the shops are run by local people for local people.  Other than a Boots and a small Sainsbury’s, you would be hard-pressed to find a familiar retail name.

The High Street looks dire, with blocks of stained concrete almost everywhere you look, dominating the surviving Victorian and Edwardian shop fronts.  There is nowhere to park and nowhere really to walk.  The pubs are declining, other than a welcome Wetherspoons at the furthest extreme of the High Street.

But this morning Drab was something rather different.  The High Street was transformed.  Instead of the lonely pavements, there were hundreds of people standing and talking, with flags and balloons.  It was such a mix, and the crowd was genuinely cheerful.  It helped, of course, that it was the first sunny day of the summer.  The weather did not explain everything though; there was a sense of occasion.  Something special was happening down Drab High Street.

When I heard the Olympic torch was coming through Drab, I was bemused and cynical.  One imagined a few hardy patriots and some bored school children; with telling gaps between the people on the roadside.  I guessed it would all be a bit contrived, rather like the supposed ‘jubilee’ street parties.

I was wrong.  It was jolly and heartening.  The various shops put stalls on the pavement; the owner of the music shop set up his amplifier outside and played some Deep Purple; the Salvation Army band performed in front of a funeral directors which was in turn covered in bunting; children played; a group of enthusiasts danced through the crowds promoting some cause or other.

And then there was the procession.  The advance police motor bikes were cheered, and then a police van.  The officers nervously waved back.  A red double decker bus was cheered – it did not matter it was not actually part of the procession but a “driver on instruction”.  By the time the torch was about to come, the crowd was roaring.  Police motorcyclists slowed down and high-fived school children.

The corporate floats were received gleefully.  People even waved and smiled at the bus sponsored by LloydsTSB.

Yes, in the Britain of 2012, people were applauding the police and a bank.

The poor man with the torch then appeared, mobbed by onlookers with mobile phones and cameras.

He alone had the honour of carrying the Olympic torch through Drab.

If he was a local man, he must have thought he was suddenly jogging on a different planet.

Then it ended.

The crowds dispersed, children bounced their inflatible gimmicks off each other, and adults moaned of the heat and chatted about the great atmosphere as they walked down the side streets.

And the High Street returned to Drab.

  1. Very nice, I had the exact same experience today in Tooting, more people lining the street than I even thought lived here!

  2. Very similar in Basingstoke 10 days or so ago… hordes of people, everyone happy, cheering, chatting with strangers. A glimpse of those legendary days of yore when you could leave your door open and you knew your neighbours name ;-)

    and yes, I also allowed a cynical inner smirk at the police being cheered, for probably the first and only time in their careers…!

  3. It was the same for me. I saw the torch with my wife, my kids and my mum in Broadway (Cotswolds, not Tooting) and despite my innate grumpiness it was a fantastic atmosphere and a lovely day. Even the really blatant (and often quite crass) commercialism couldn’t ruin it. The police bikers were high-fiving everyone like you described and it was smiles all round. Random cyclists were getting cheered. People were genuinely excited and happy to see a man carrying a torch. My 70 year old mum climbed a high wall to get a better view (which gave us a bit of a shock).

    I will try and retain that day as my Olympics memory, and not the chaos & corporate sponsorship. I’m glad I saw it.

  4. This is what happens when the lawyers from Locog are not allowed onsite to tell the shop owners they can’t associate themselves with the Olympics. I can’t wait for it to come through my way on Thursday, despite Locogs best efforts to suck all the joy from life.

    PS – Let us know when you receive your Cease and Desist order for using the word Olympics in your blog post

  5. the samsung rave bus ruined it for me (and the other sponsor floats) – it was a pleasure being out on the streets with the rest of the neighbourhood, the kids loved high-fiving the police, but the sponsor floats left a distinctly unpleasant taste. i don’t even care for athletics, but it felt like they were the antithesis of whatever the olympic spirit is supposed to be.

    btw, a high street with no recognisable chain names doesn’t sound too bad to me…

  6. …which only goes to show that the nay-sayers are completely out of touch with the British public

    People turned out in great numbers everywhere the torch has been. People are genuinely excited about the Olympics. They don’t care that it cost the earth. They don’t care that some company has come up short on security. Its all about feeling proud to be British

  7. possibly the weirdest experience ever to be honest … hundreds nay thousands waiting for a torch and then .. there it was gone and thousands disappeared …. and many not even sure afterwards why ?!

Beauty and the Beast

You hold onto the beast. The beast is dark, heavy, industrial. The beast stinks, it is noisy. But it’s familiar, you have known the beast for a long time. You don’t need to open your eyes because the beast knows it all. But deep inside, you feel heavy. Heavy like the beast. And so, you decide that you will open your eyes. You, speck of beauty in the middle of the massive beast. And when  you open your eyes, you will understand the darkness, you will feel the whole weight of your beast. And you will decide to step down from it. In a moment of distraction, you will jump out. The beast will soon disappear in the distance, dark and heavy. And you will embrace the beauty of your new existence.

My life as a stepmom

A lot of people assume that being a stepmom would be so awful. When we were engaged and first married, people would frequently say things to me like "That must be so hard!" "I could never do that." "Isn't it awful having to deal with her mom?" "I would have walked away. I wouldn't have married him knowing he had a kid." All sorts of things like that. Always negative. The people who were somewhat positive would say things like "You're a good woman to put up with that." You know what? I feel bad for all of those people. I feel bad that for some reason they have been tainted by the "Evil Stepmom" or the horrible depictions of mixed families so much so that they can't even see how this situation could work out GOOD.

I grew up in a mixed family. Then my parents got divorced and remarried again. I have a VERY mixed family. It wasn't always easy, and I know that my parents never really got along or had a decent relationship so the kids always seemed pitted against their mom or their dad at some time. I hated it!

When I decided to marry Jarom, I took a lot of time to think about how becoming a stepmom would affect me, and my new marriage. Especially given that I was 18 when I got married. Addie was 4. I had spent quite a bit of time with her and she really liked me and I adored her. We had a good relationship (as much as you can have with a barely 4 year old) and I loved her. I knew that I could love her as my own child, and that being with the two of them was the best thing I could imagine. I knew that we were supposed to be a family. Even if our family was going to be different than I had ever imagined. I had no doubt that it was what was supposed to happen.

The day we got married, Addie would not talk to me at all. She gave me dirty looks and avoided me most of the day. I didn't understand, but it was a busy day and she had lots of girls to play with and my best friend Sue who she loved. It wasn't until the first weekend we had Addie after our honeymoon that I learned why she was so distant that day. Addie's birth mommy [I am mommy #2] Marie had tried to explain to Addie what was going to happen on our wedding day, and that I was going to be another mom to her, a stepmom. That did it. Addie didn't care how much she liked me, or how she knew that I really was nice and good to her. That word.. STEPMOM.. that immediately made me evil. So the entire day of our wedding, and even the evening before when she stayed the night at my house with me, Addie did NOT like me. She did NOT want a stepmom. She had told Marie that "all stepmoms are evil. Like on Cinderella." Even though Marie tried her hardest to explain that I would still be the same person after we were married, Addie didn't quite understand and was upset about me turning evil.

That first weekend we had her stay with us, she had completely changed. She sat me down as if we were two adults. She then told me "My mommy told me that you aren't going to be an evil stepmom. Do you promise not to be?" I told her that I would never be an evil stepmom. I would just be a second mommy for her. I would make sure she followed the rules, and I would do all I could to protect her and keep her safe, just like her mommy did. But I would NOT be evil. "So you won't be like Cinderella's stepmom?" We had a good 7 minute conversation and I told her how her new grandma Sue was my stepmom and she was not evil and I loved her. Addie loved her too and knew from that moment on that there were nice stepmoms and that I would be good to her.

Addie and I have grown very close together over the last 4 years. Even when I have to be the one to make her do all of her homework, or the one to make her do scary things like walk on her leg without the cast for the first time, and even when she gets in trouble and has to go to timeout and then apologize, she knows that I love her and that I only do those things because I care so much for her. She will come and sit and snuggle with me on the couch, and she will tell me how much she loves me. She will tell me how glad she is that I get to be another mom to her, and that she is glad I married Daddy. Oh, and she thinks I'm awesome for giving her a little brother. :)

I love Addie so much! One of the greatest blessing I received when I married Jarom, was the new daughter that I get so share with Marie. Addilynn is such a WONDERFUL little girl.. and I am consistently amazed at how much she has grown since I met that 2 year old. She is smart, and she is stubborn. She is beautiful and funny, and is growing up to be such a precious little girl. I can't believe she is nearly 8! She has grown up so much, and I am so glad that I get to be a part of it every day.

Don't get me wrong, it was an adjustment for all of us when we first got married. Addie had never spent the weekend with Jarom before then, and Marie had never had to let her baby go for so long. But we have worked together [me and Marie mostly] and it has been rather smooth compared to what I have seen in my life. Addie knows that she has 3 parents who love her so much and are always there for her. She knows that if we disagree, we talk things out and we don't fight. We work together to do what is best for Addie at all times, and we never make her feel like she has to choose between parents, or that her parents don't like each other. We all get along and if we hit a bump, we all work together to smooth it out and move on. I think we do a pretty good job. Sharing the "mom" job has actually been a great blessing. I'm so thankful for Marie for letting me be there for Addie.

I love being a mom, it is the best thing I've ever done, and ever will do. I have 2 beautiful kids, and a 3rd on the way. [2nd baby, 3rd kid. That's right, we're that cool.] Addie is such a great big sister to Ezra, and she is going to be great to this little one too. She loves Ezra and while she knows that technically he is her half brother, she also knows that titles like half and step don't really matter. We are all family no matter what. We all love each other and nothing could ever change that.

Our family is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing.

♥♥ Addie really wants a sister. She begged me to take her to my next appointment so she can be there to find out if she is getting a brother or a sister. It will take a little rescheduling, but we are going to do it and let her be the first to find out. I'm so excited! So is she.. she can't stop talking about it. I love her! ♥♥

  1. You know what's funny? My little sisters (the twins) used to call Jossi and I the evil stepsisters. I can understand how putting the word "step" before brother/sister/mother/father can make that individual look bad in a child's eyes! Curse that Disney Cinderella movie!

    I think it's great that you were able to share this. You know--to help break the stigma to little children that stepmoms are evil :) I love you and think you're a great mom and stepmom!

Life with a bit of edit

Sometimes, we see things. And then, we put a camera between our eyes and see things differently. Unfortunately, a camera can never actually capture what our eyes see. If I had a still option incorporated in my system, I - come to think of it - all of us would be the greatest photographers on earth.
That's why editing software came into existence. While we like the picture we've taken, there is always scope for improvement. While some may have mini touch-ups, I go crazy with others.
I've posted some of these pictures before, but others in this list have never been put before. Take a look. Feedback is welcome.

  1. I would go for the still option incorporated in my system too! Love the first couple of pictures

  2. what software did you edit this in? Awesome!

  3. Aperture. It's Apple's version of Adobe LightRoom

  4. Fuck, these are some marvelous photographs. My favorite? The 11th one. :)

The gen on emergency and rescue mode bootstrap

You've come to this page because you've asked a question similar to the following:

What is the gen on emergency and rescue mode bootstrap?

This is the Frequently Given Answer to such questions.

There are two generally recognized exceptional modes of bootstrapping a Linux system:

The nature of the secure login varies somewhat, and is problematic.

The history behind this

Thus we come to the UNIX warm boot procedure: put 173000 into the switches, push load address and then push start. The alternate-switch setting of 173030 that will load warm UNIX is used as a signal to bring up a single user system for special purposes.

— Ken Thompson (1972-03-15). "Boot Procedures". Unix Programmer's Manual. § 8.

In the original UNIX init system, one could bootstrap Warm UNIX into two modes. The init program checked the front panel switches, and if they held some value other than 173030 it branched over single-user mode to the multi-user mode code; if they held that value it executed the single-user mode code. So:

This separation between single-user mode and multi-user mode lasted for the next quarter of a century. The init program in AT&T System 5 UNIX entered single-user mode if there was no /etc/inittab file, or if the init command was invoked with the s or S argument. This is the design that Linux people copied when Miquel van Smoorenburg and others wrote the Minix/Linux clone of AT&T init, rc, and their associated tools in the early 1990s. (Linux people now refer to this clone as "System 5 init", even though it isn't actually the software from UNIX System 5, and isn't just init.)

2.57d 03-Dec-1995
- Added sulogin
- Added "-b" flag to init, gives a shell before
  anything else (in case the startup scripts are screwed)

"sysvinit" change log.

In 1995, though, things changed. Linux init gained a -b flag and the accompanying toolset gained a sulogin program. The -b flag, supplied to process #1 by the kernel (which itself received it from the boot loader), caused init to invoke sulogin before doing anything else. Linux sulogin was essentially a clone of the SCO Unix utility of that name, which was very simple in operation: It repeatedly prompted for the root password, invoking a shell as the superuser if the correct one was entered, until the operator sent the EOF special character on the terminal.

Linux sulogin grew extensions beyond this simple operation:

sulogin was also invoked by runlevel 1. These two routes to sulogin differed in what else happened. The runlevel 1 route invoked every initialization step from runlevels S and 1 before running sulogin. The -b option route invoked sulogin without doing any of that.

If you need to check the root file system, you can reboot into single-user mode with the root partition mounted read-only by issuing the -b switch at the LILO prompt. The -b switch will be passed through LILO to init and will cause an emergency boot […]

— David A. Bandel (1997-01-01). Disk Maintenance under Linux. Linux Journal.

Booting into Rescue Mode: To boot into a mode that allows system repairs, first try booting into runlevel 1 […]

— Dee-Ann LeBlanc (1999). General Linux I: Exam Prep. Coriolis Group Books. ISBN 9781576105672.

Within a handful of years, the ideas of "emergency mode" and "rescue mode" for these two routes had taken root. Because usually the initramfs bootstrap program (/init) would mount the / filesystem read-only, "emergency mode" became (amongst other things) the well-known route to having a shell on a system such that the / volume could be repaired with interactive fsck. "rescue mode" was a slightly more diluted concept, partly because bootstrapping a different operating system installation entirely, on a removable disc or some such, was also called "rescue mode". But the idea that runlevel 1 is "rescue mode" can be found propagated by many sources including Linux For Dummies (from 2001).

These ideas persist until today. Both systemd and nosh, for examples, continue to employ them. nosh has emergency and rescue service bundles. systemd has and targets. In both cases, they are invoked (in place of the normal bootstrap mode) by the system management when process #1 receives command-line arguments such as -b, emergency, -s, s, S, single, and 1.

Some of the details of the mechanisms have changed, though. Emergency and rescue modes are seen nowadays as modes in which the system is up and running. They are not modes that the system shuts down to, and are not reached by shutdown procedures. This has forced changes in the semantics of the shutdown command (in both the nosh toolset and in systemd).

The operation of shutdown used to be that shutting down to single-user mode was the default action, which could be overriden with its -r and -h options. The halt (-h) action was further subdivided by the -H and -P options into halt-and-loop-indefinitely and halt-and-power-off.

Now that there is not even the concept of shutting down to single-user mode, the default shutdown action is to halt and power off. The -h and -P options select what is already the default action, and are effectively superfluous; leaving the -r and -H options to select reboot and halt-and-loop-indefinitely.

The problems with secure login

The one-size-fits-all model of secure login provided by invoking sulogin in both emergency and rescue modes has problems covering a wide range of use cases.

nosh system management tackles this by not actually employing sulogin at all. It is a SCO-ism that does not exist at all in the BSD world, in the first place. Instead, there's a stronger differentiation between emergency mode and rescue mode. The emergency-login@console service uses an emergency-login command that exists for both Linux and the BSDs, and the rescue service uses the ordinary login command. The upshot of this is:

Jennifer Amriss writes both heterosexual and M/M (gay) adult fantasy romance novels. Her debut series, Kings of Kal’brath, features the first three books, Race Against the Dark (Feb. 2016), Healing Wounds: Mother Book One (July 2016), and Twilight’s Children (Sept. 2017). This series was followed by the Dragon Highlands Duology with Mage of Legend (Jan. 2017) and Dragon Court (April 2017). Her next release is scheduled to come on August 8th with a new standalone paranormal romance novel, Climbing Shadetree, which is also in the Kal’brath Universe, and may in the future be turned into a two-book series.

In late 2017 or early 2018, she will start publishing a new series called “God Jars”, a medieval-esque M/M fantasy romance. The first four books are written and in the initial stages of editing.

Jennifer Amriss originally went to school for surgical technology, but when her mental health deteriorated to disabling levels, she turned to her first passion: writing. She uses her medical background to fuel bloody battles, horrific deaths, and to see her characters through to the other side of torture and mayhem.

In her spare time, Jennifer Amriss formats books for other authors with tight budgets, and has created a YouTube™ series to teach authors how to use Adobe InDesign™ to format their own books for print with minimum effort. When she isn’t formatting or writing, she is creating images for book covers, advertisements, and web design for herself and other authors, as well as teaching others how to create author websites via WordPress, or creates their sites for them.

Since her mental disabilities keeps her mostly homebound, Jennifer Amriss is always trying to find new and innovative ways to help other authors, as others have helped her time and again.

One of the first things on our recent trip to New York was a food tour. The food tour is run by Foods of NY Tours, which offers several different tours in different areas of the city. We decided to choose the one offered for Chelsea Market. There are also tours of Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Nolita/Noho and Brooklyn. They change and update their tours every six to eight months, so if you’ve already been on one, you can do it again later on and have a bit of a different experience.  The tours also run rain or shine, so be sure to dress for the weather.

This food tour cost $54 per adult and $35 per child. Most of the tours are around that cost with the exception of the Brooklyn and Chinatown tours. Those cost a little more. Most of the tours are also able to accommodate for food allergies and dietary restrictions, so make sure you let them know.

The Food Tour

Our tour guide, Heather, just started as a guide this year, but had she not told us, I never would have guessed. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the foods we tasted. She was pleasant, energetic and upbeat the entire time.  We were provided with a bottle of water and an “Insider’s Guide” which had a bunch of coupons to use at different places in the market. I didn’t end up taking advantage of them this time, but I would definitely do so next time.

Our first stop was at Creamline for fried Oreo and vanilla whipped cream. While we waited for our sampling, our tour guide, Heather, gave us a little bit of a history lesson about the building we were currently standing in. Currently, the building is home to the Food Network,, and both Google and YouTube have offices in the building. The Chelsea Market was once a Nabisco factory and the birth place of the Oreo. It seems particularly appropriate that the fried Oreo was our first sampling.

Fried Oreos, Creamline

This was definitely one of the tastiest treats of the entire trip and I have been trying to find something similar at home. Normally, I am not a fan of Oreos, but the batter and deep frying made the cookie far more moist and edible for me. I’m not entirely sure if these were actual Oreos, or if they were made in the eatery, but either way, this is definitely something I would eat again given the chance. The vanilla whipped cream was light and fluffy, but not overly sweet, which paired perfectly with the cookie.

We headed down the length of the market to Sarabeth’s towards the back. Along the way, Heather filled us in on the history of the former Nabisco plant, showing off some of the features that were left in the building, including the windows that would open to let out the steam from the trains they used inside the building.

This particular location of Sarabeth’s is not one of the restaurant locations, but rather more like a coffee shop and bakery.  We were given a little bit of a history lesson about Sarabeth’s. It started with her famous preserves and expanded from there. She was also the first to introduce the concept of brunch to New York.

Here, we sampled buttermilk biscuits with Sarabeth’s famous preserves: orange apricot marmalade and strawberry jam.

Sarabeth's Preserves, Food Tour

Preserves are not particularly my favourite types of food, so this was just an okay tasting for me. I’m not a fan of orange or apricot marmalade, but I did enjoy this one. For preserve lovers, this is a must try. The buttermilk biscuit was light and flaky. It paired perfectly with the preserves.

Chelsea Market Baskets

Chelsea Market Baskets is located right next to Sarabeth’s so we headed there next. It is THE place in New York to get  gift baskets. Everyone from David Letterman to President Barack Obama has ordered baskets from here to give to show their appreciation to others.

Chelsea Market Baskets

The store is filled with so many amazing things. Here, we had a sampling of their sea-salted caramel. We were also fortunate enough to have a sample of Torres Black Truffle potato chips. Both of these items were delicious. The caramel was soft and chewy with just the right amount of salt. The flavouring on the chips was subtle and not overpowering.

The Tuck Shop

We then headed back the way we came and stopped in at The Tuck Shop. The Chelsea Market has three different areas that hold a number of smaller businesses, which can be viewed on the map on the market’s website.

Australian Meat Pie, The Tuck Stop

Here, we were treated to Australia meat pie and kale salad with golden raisins. I really enjoyed the meat pie, but could have done without the salad. I found it to be slightly bitter, which is no surprise with kale. It wasn’t to my taste. The pastry on the meat pie was nice and flaky, and the meat itself was well seasoned. I think next visit here, I would try their Guinness steak and mushroom pie or their lamb shank and veg pie. There are great options on their menu, including vegetarian options.

Dickson’s Farmstand Meats

We then headed back towards where we started to Dickson’s Farmstand Meats, which is located right next to Creamline. All of their meat is from local farms and they use as much, if not all of the animal, as possible. Their website provides information on the farms they receive their meat from and the abattoir they use to process the animals.

Admittedly, I wasn’t sure about the tasting here, until I saw it. Our tasting was beef tartare with kettle chips.

Beef Tartare, Dickson's

I’m not ashamed to admit I had more than one sampling of this dish. The beef tartare was simply delicious and well seasoned. If I could have this shipped back to Canada, I would. It was that amazing. It was easy to tell, based on the taste, that the beef was very fresh. I would do this particular food tour again just to have a chance to have more of this beef tartare.

After we finished up with the beef tartare, we head over to a second alcove where Cappone’s was located. Cappone’s is an authentic Italian sandwich shop and all their sandwiches are named after people. I believe the sandwich we had is called the Gallo. It has mortadella, provolone, and caponata of eggplant, along with extra virgin olive oil and crema di balsamico.

This sandwich was delicious, and by this time, I was getting a little full from everything we’d been eating so far. I can’t say I really tasted the eggplant at all in this sandwich, but that may have been because the flavours just blended so well together.

Gansevoort Market – Oppa

At this point, we left Chelsea Market and our food tour continued at Gansevoort Market on West 14th Street. This market also offers several food stops, opening at it;s current location in 2016. It had been previously located on Gansevoort Street. The market is really cute with a great decor that was relaxing and rustic.

Korean BBQ, Oppa

We were given a tasting of Korean BBQ from Oppa. I quickly discovered I’m not a fan of kimchi, but other than that, this was just another tasty dish. It had a little bit of a kick to it and was pretty much what I expected from Korean BBQ.

The Highline

We soon left Gansevoort Market and took a tour of the Meatpacking District. Heather gave us a history lesson about the area and it’s transformation from meatpacking plants to high end retail and night life. The first high-end business to open in the Meatpacking District after things started to be cleaned up in the area, was Jeffrey. We then took a trip up to the Highline.

The Highline

The Highline was formerly the raised railway tracks that ran the trains through the buildings in the area when they were meatpacking plants. Instead of tearing the entire thing down, they revitalized it and turned it into a raised park. We walked the section from 14th Street down to Gansevoort Street, where it ends. The Whitney Museum is located at that end of the Highline.

Ample Hills Creamery

We only had a little ways to walk from there after taking the stairs back down to the street and down Gansevoort Street to Ample Hills Creamery at Bubby’s Highline. Ample Hills Creamery makes hand-churned ice cream which they pasteurize themselves.

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Ice Cream, Ample Hills Creamery

As pictured above, for our final tasting, we sampled one of their signature flavours, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, which has chunks of St. Louis-style butter cake in it. The ice cream was very creamy and smooth. It wasn’t overly sweet, which is a great selling point for me. This was definitely worth the walk.

Gansevoort Hotel – Plunge Rooftop Bar and Lounge

The last stop on our food tour was the Gansevoort Hotel rooftop bar and lounge, Plunge. It offered a decent view of the surrounding area and a relaxing place to hang out for a little bit before we all went on our way.

The Plunge

Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed all of the food. It was all well selected and I would certainly recommend taking one of these tours while in New York. As much as I would love to do this one again, I think I may choose to do one in Greenwich Village, just for a change. With everything we got to see and taste, it was definitely worth the $54 charge.

Happy Easter!

This Easter weekend has been a good one! I was a little sick at the beginning, but was able to overcome it and spend some time with my mom. We went to dinner at this AWESOME restaurant for a friend's birthday on Saturday night, watched a movie and stayed up late talking. This morning, my mom wanted to try a new church so we drove out to Watkinsville and checked out. The people and the worship was awesome! We loved. (:

So thankful for Jesus and the ultimate sacrifice he paid for me. He is RISEN! (:

Love you, mama!

My mom had to have surgery yesterday. She had to have a lump removed from her breast and it is currently being tested for cancer. I know she's nervous and it's killing me not to just be with her today. Thankfully I was with her yesterday and I'm going back on Saturday to be with her (and she's requested me to paint her nails. Hehe). Yesterday, my heart swelled with love even more than I thought possible. My mom is an incredible lady, funny, sweet and always wanting to make sure others around her are comfortable and content.

I was amazed with all the phone calls and texts we got yesterday from our friends and family, thank you all for making both of us feel loved in a scary time like this.

Here's some pics of me and my mama from the last few years, love you mom!

Isn't my mom's face AWESOME in the first two shots? (:

Eulogies have been pouring in following the sudden death of Edmond Levy. Until he retired three years ago, the Iraqi-born Levy was the only Mizrahi judge on the Supreme Court. He will be best remembered for returning a 'controversial' report in 2012, legitimising West Bank Jewish settlements.

Production of carbon clusters C3 to C12 with a cryogenic buffer-gas beam source

Cryogenic buffer-gas beam sources are capable of producing intense beams of a wide variety of molecules and have a number of advantages over traditional supersonic expansion sources. In this work, we report on a neon matrix isolation study of carbon clusters produced with a cryogenic buffer-gas beam source. Carbon clusters created by laser ablation of graphite are trapped in a neon matrix and detected with a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer in the spectral range 4000–1000 cm−1. Through a study of carbon cluster production as a function of various system parameters, we characterize the behavior of the buffer-gas beam source and find that approximately 1011–1012 of each cluster is produced with each pulse of the ablation laser. These measurements demonstrate the usefulness of cryogenic buffer-gas beam sources for producing molecular beams of clusters.

First Blog Post

Posted by Jo Baker on April 16, 2012

I used to have a blog on Portobello Books - my UK publisher's - website. I loved writing it - a bit of a change from working away on a novel. With a novel you work for years before it ever meets a reader. With a blog: five paragraphs, and click! There you go: it's up there for people to read and respond to. I enjoyed the freedom of it, the flexibility. It was a delight to write.

But back then, there was just too little time. I had a job, I was working on a new book, i had two kids to feed and bath and read bedtime stories to... I just didn't post as often as I would've liked. The blog became like a neglected pen-pal. I would think of it fondly, but with a trace of guilt.

Things have changed since then. It's almost exactly a year since I decided to quit my job and write full-time. I chewed my nails a bit, over obvious issues: security, salary, what will we do if the house falls down. But then a sentence popped up my head, like the solution to a crossword puzzle: 'If I quit my job, I might come to regret it; if I don't quit the job, then I definitely will.'

It feels a bit dodgy, thinking about giving up your job when so many people are desperate to cling onto theirs. I felt very uneasy about it, but then a friend pointed out, 'You're not giving up your job. You have a job. Writing. You're just cutting down to one job instead of two. And then someone else who needs it can have your extra one.'

So I gave up the day job.  And I have time for writing and sleeping and my family, which is a novelty.  And the bigger kid can read bedtime stories to the littler one now. So things are looking up, time-wise. And so the plan is that this blog won't become a neglected pen-pal, but an always-pleased-to-see-it, pop-round-whenever-I-like, refreshing-change-from-writing-novels kind of a thing. That's the plan at least.

A Fireside Chat with Joe McPhee

By Fred Jung; published November 18, 2003

Labels are difficult to overcome. Perceptions are even more daunting. And Joe McPhee is often burdened with both: the labels of "free jazz" or "avant-garde" and the perception that his music is conceptual or theoretical (the same also holds true for the music of Anthony Braxton). But McPhee plays neither and his music is hardly highbrow (e.g., Underground Railroad). It is however, deep (but let’s not mistake deep for complexity). Joe McPhee is a "the," not an "a." He is the Joe McPhee, not a multi-instrumentalist. And he is unedited and in his own words.

FRED JUNG: Your documentation during the Sixties was politically poignant and reflective of the racially tumultuous times.

JOE MCPHEE: The recording with Clifford (Thornton), of course, he was the leader and he set the tone and direction for that (Freedom and Unity). It was recorded the day after John Coltrane’s funeral in 1967 and we were all caught up in the emotion of that. As for as my own work was concerned, when I had the opportunity to record on the CJR label, it seemed absolutely essential to me that I try to dedicate the music to people who had inspired me, people who had inspired consciousness, to honor certain people. For example, Harriet Tubman was honored on the recording Underground Railroad. Also, very importantly, there is a piece called "Message from Denmark," which is not related to the country, but Denmark Vesey, who was a slave revolutionary and not one to turn the other cheek, but take action to change things. That was in ’67. Newark was on fire and there were all kinds of things going on. Nation Time comes out of something I had heard from Amiri Baraka. The sentiments were important. They were then and they still are now. I later didn’t entirely focus on the situation as an African-American, but instead tried to broaden it into more of a human awareness and human rights. From the very beginning and even to now, I’ve included references to the human condition in the music that I’ve done. I’m as happy of that body of work today as I was then.

FJ: What are the theories behind Pauline Oliveros’ deep listening?

JM: For those who don’t know, Pauline Oliveros is a marvelous composer, teacher, philosopher, and accordionist. She holds black belts in karate. She is one of the most extraordinary people over the last two centuries. I came into contact with her in 1981 when I was invited to perform in San Francisco. I was having some problems. I had dropped my tenor saxophone in the airport and it had to be repaired. I was pretty shaken and upset about all that at the time and Pauline came over and introduced herself and she was one of the people who helped calm me down and get me through that whole thing. She wanted to get together when we got back and we did and she has been a pioneer in creative music for more than fifty years now. Her concept of deep listening is about listening with the whole being, the whole self. It’s about complete musicianship and improvisation. It is one thing to listen. A lot of people listen. Very few people hear. It is about learning how to hear and reach the child inside you. I just find her just absolutely inspirational, being in her presence, her teaching methods, her meditation methods, all have been very helpful to me. She is always at the forefront of the electronic revolution. She is a big fan of Star Trek and that sort of science fiction stuff, as am I.

FJ: You are a multi-instrumentalist, not unlike Ornette Coleman or the various persons associated with the AACM.

“I like to think of myself as a muse-ician, somebody who makes magic with the muses.”

JM: To touch on briefly what you were saying about the AACM and Roscoe Mitchell and Ornette, they have all been very important parts of my development and inspiration in terms of the direction with these various instruments. I began playing trumpet. My father was a trumpet player and he started me when I was about eight years old. He was a strict disciplinarian and was certain you should stick with one instrument and really develop that as fully as you could. I agreed and went along with that. After a while, there is a bit of trying to develop your own identity and I kept hearing the saxophone, especially after I heard Albert Ayler, Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Sonny Rollins, a whole range of people had influenced me, but it was the sound of Albert Ayler that absolutely grabbed me. I borrowed a tenor from a friend one day and went into a club where I had been playing trumpet and just started to blow. I was told not to come back with that instrument again because it was threatening to the jobs of the people that were there. So for a year, I got a method book and learned how to play the saxophone from that and listening to a lot of music. Then I began to incorporate the reed instruments with the brass. I saw Don Cherry in 1963 when he was playing with Sonny Rollins. I saw him at Birdland. I was in the army and I had a weekend pass to New York. I found the music of Don Cherry and that led me to playing the pocket trumpet. Eventually, through gifts sometimes, my alto clarinet was a gift, I learned how to play that. I incorporated that into various things that I do. I use guitar effects, pedals and stuff, things I learned from Pauline and I try to incorporate that. That is how it sort of came about. I am still fooling around with little instruments and little electronic things to this day.

FJ: A person’s legacy is generally equated with the amount of time he or she is on earth. Ayler, although he played publicly for less than a decade, influenced a generation of musicians.

JM: He was very significant for me and I try in my work to maintain my own identity, but also to touch, not only on the legacy, on what I know of it and what it means to me by trying to infuse the emotion, the intelligence, and the beauty of that music and try to pass it on and in a way, keep Albert alive.

FJ: What is Po Music?

JM: It comes from an ancient symbol that looks like a horse’s head backwards. It also comes from the work of Dr. Edward de Bono. I had read a book in 1981 about lateral thinking and it intrigued me as just a way of finding a method to get past my own clich’s and discover new ideas out of things that were already there. I use it as an indicator that provocation is taking place. I used to use Po Music, to show that what you’re hearing is not necessarily what it is. For example, I would play some music out of the bebop tradition. I did on a recording called Oleo. We played a Sonny Rollins piece, but I am not a bebop player. That’s a life and a tradition I highly respect, but I don’t consider myself a bebop player. If we play this Sonny Rollins composition, we play it in our own style and try to move it to another place and find life in it as we see it.

FJ: How do you see yourself?

JM: I am co-opting a term that I heard fairly recently. I like to think of myself as a muse-ician, somebody who makes magic with the muses. I am a musician and I hope I can stay healthy and play some good music. That’s all. It is no more complicated than that.

FJ: And you are continuing your work with Trio X: Dominic Duval and Jay Rosen?

JM: First, there is a misconception that it is my band. It’s not. It is a cooperative with Dominic Duval on bass and Jay Rosen on percussion. What happened was in 1997, I was invited to play at a John Coltrane birthday celebration at the Knitting Factory. Earlier that year, I got a telephone call from Dominic Duval, who I didn’t know and he said that he wanted to play with me. I thought, "Why would he want to play with me? I don’t even have a band." I played more in Europe at that point than I had ever had in the United States. When this opportunity came to play in this Coltrane celebration, I called Dominic and another good friend here, who has been my alter ego, Joe Giardullo, a saxophone, reed player and put this band together. In fact, when I arrived at the Knitting Factory, I had only seen Dominic photographed in the newspaper when he was playing with Cecil Taylor. That was the first performance. The next one was 1998 at the Vision Festival. We didn’t have a name and after the concert, we did a recording at CIMP the next day and we still didn’t have a name. After our concert at the Vision Festival, no one wrote about us. We were dismissed I guess. We just took the name Trio X and that is the legend of Trio X.

FJ: Joe Giardullo is in your Bluette with Duval and Michael Bisio.

JM: Dominic is a part of it with Bisio, two basses and two horns. I had been playing with Michael Bisio on a couple of occasions. Mike and I did a couple of duet recordings for CIMP and then I met Dominic. It came to pass that a concert came up and Michael was in the area with Dominic and that is how that came about.

FJ: You mentioned a handful of years ago, you were playing more in Europe than you were here in the States, is that still the case?

JM: No and I have to say, Fred, between 1980 and 1994, I virtually didn’t play here at all. Part of that may have come from the mistaken idea that I lived in Europe because I played so much there. Then I was invited to play at the Empty Bottle Festival by John Corbett and Ken Vandermark in Chicago and after that, it seemed to open doors for me to play more in this country. Other than that, I played in France in a trio with Raymond Boni and Andr’ Jaume. Now, certain things have opened up with Trio X and playing with a group, which also included Dominic, but a different drummer, John Heward from Montreal, called Undersound. We had a sextet at one point that included Dominic, Bisio, Joe Giardullo, Roy Campbell, Jay Rosen, and myself called Urban Assault Vehicle and in some circles people took offense at the word "assault."

FJ: People are easily offended. Was the sextet documented?

JM: There was a recording done at the Knitting Factory. I hope at some point it gets out because there is some very interesting stuff there.

FJ: Bob Rusch should be acknowledged for documenting your playing on CIMP, since the majority of your earlier work on the hatOLOGY label has been out of print.

JM: Yeah, including the whole era of solo material. I hope at some point, that is re-released. I’ve had real success with the Atavistic re-release of the CJR material.

FJ: Is there a reason why you have never played in Los Angeles?

JM: I’ve never been invited. I know some musicians in the area, but I’ve never been invited. It is not a closed door. I am one of the members of Peter Brotzmann’s Chicago Tentet and we are planning something. The guys in that Tentet are some of the finest musicians you will ever come across. Also, I am in a quartet called The Thing featuring Mats Gustafsson on reeds, Paal Nilssen-Love on drums, and Ingebrigt H’ker Flaten on bass, plus myself.

FJ: And the future?

JM: The last CJR recording was done in 1974, duets with a synthesizer player, John Snyder. The Atavistic re-release will include a concert from Woodstock in ’76 that has never been heard. I am looking forward to that. Another thing that was recorded right after the tour with the Tentet, it’s a quartet with Peter Brotzmann, Michael Zerang, and Kent Kessler. I am playing tenor. It is coming on Hat Hut. It is an album that kind of focuses on ballads. That will be a revelation for people who hear only one side of Brotzmann. That I am very excited about. I am playing a recording with Raymond Boni of music inspired by Django Reinhardt and dedicated to Sidney Bechet.

The Long Road And A Red Light

A long, straight road stretches into the distance while overhead a single stop light shines red in a visual metaphor about the challenges, obstacles and delays that often impede progress on the way forward and into the future.

Obstacles And Delays On The Road To Success

Obstacles and delays on the road to success are what is behind this image of a long, straight road stretching towards a sunset, but with a stoplight on red positioned above.  The road can be one to the future, or freedom, or even a journey within to enlightenment, but wherever this road leads the journey will have to wait until that red light turns green! The highway was photographed in the American Southwest in Arizona or New Mexico.

Roads, Challenge, And Beginnings

Roads can serve as visual metaphors for opportunity, new beginnings and growth. By adding a red stoplight the metaphor can be more specifically targeted for such ideas as the need for preparation, timing issues, and constraints of all manner. This particular highway/stoplight image can be easily cropped to vertical, horizontal or square uses with an abundance of copy space. It can be licensed for use in advertisements, editorials and promotion communications. It might refer to such widely varying ideas as the beginning of a new social media program, delays in mergers and acquisitions, or detours on the path to success.

Highways, Roads, Solitude And Getting Away From It All

This road or highway is a powerful symbol for the need for solitude and for getting away from it all. The road is devoid of all traffic and provides a clear, straight path to the desired destination. This can be an image about vacations, travel, and adventure. The applications are almost limitless and can easily be directed by the copy and headlines. As with pretty much all road images, change and connection are two additional symbolic takes.
