Incumbent City Councilperson Andrea Bough will be facing former teacher Jill Sasse and community organizer Mary Nestel in the April 4th election. The two that win the most votes will proceed to the June 20th election The Sixth District includes Martin City, Red Bridge, Waldo, Brookside, the Plaza and Westport. “At-large” means voters throughout the city vote for the position.
Jill Sasse, 62, is a former public school teacher and tutor whose husband teaches at Rockhurst University. Sasse lives in the Waldo area. She is running because she and others around her want to have a voice. “No one is listening,” she says. “To me, the people are the experts and not the people who have a particular position in city hall.
Crime Sasse says it’s necessary to attract and keep officers. She would like to increase police staffing from 1100 to 1500. She says the mayor does not support the police. As a result, it’s important for the city to cultivate a better relationship with the police department to improve morale and consequently attract officers.
Homelessness She believes the city must enforce any codes that might affect homeless camps. “Many are engaged in illegal activity in these camps.” She would like to see resources in the community, including the nonprofits and faith communities, work together. “I don’t think we are organized on that.”
Panhandling Sasse believes boundaries should be set for panhandlers. “They should not be anywhere near a business,” she says. Nor near busy traffic, for safety reasons. She also believes they should get a license to panhandle.
Economic Development Sasse believes like most problems in the city, there is no enforcement of the codes. “We need safe, clean neighborhoods in order to attract businesses,” she says. Landlords need to be engaged and listen to the community, she says, pointing out as an example Lane4 Property Group CEO Owen Buckley’s success with Red Bridge Shopping Center. Because he attended neighborhood meetings, “they are invested in him, he is invested in them.”
The incumbent in the race, Bough, 51, also has the advantage of being an attorney, having started as a young law clerk at the Court of Appeals in Western Missouri. She most recently practiced law at Lewis Rice specializing in real estate. She is married to Western District of Missouri Judge Steven Bough. Andrea chaired the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Ethics Reform as well as numerous other nonprofit and city boards. Bough lives in the Brookside area.
Crime Bough is proud of the city recently budgeting $30 million to address violent crime over the next five years. She hopes, like the successful Omaha 360 program, it will reduce violence by bringing together the faith, business, local government, neighborhood and law enforcement communities. She also sees a summer employment program for disadvantaged youth as a step in the right direction toward reducing crime.
Homelessness Bough is in favor of the Zero KC Plan to reduce homelessness. But she realizes “the city is good at making plans but not at implementing them.” She would like to see the homeless off the street and into support services.
Panhandling Bough recognizes the city is limited in what it can do regarding panhandling because of First Amendment rights protection. She suggests the answer may be educating the public to not enable panhandling. “We need to remove the financial benefits.”
Economic Development Bough admits south Kansas City has to be more aggressive in economic recruitment. She says the new city assistant manager plans to look into easing the process to do business in Kansas City, “So people don’t just give up.”
Mary Nestel, 56, may be the owner of an insurance company, but she is best known for being a strong community organizer. In the southern half of south KC that translates to organizing clean up activity along Indian Creek and at homeless camps. Nestel lives in the Red Bridge area and has helped organize Jazzoo, parades, and other events. She feels the city is not helping the needs of “real Kansas Citians.” “We are not a New York, Portland or Chicago,” she says.
Crime Nestel feels the city needs to stop painting the police department as criminals. She says the department should be fully funded and staff increased from 1100 to 1500.
Homelessness “Giving a blanket or propane tank is not going to help the homeless issue,” says Nestel. She says that behavior is only enabling those who otherwise need services for addiction or mental health problems. She would like to see the city work more closely with outreach groups.
Panhandling Nestel understands First Amendment rights, but is concerned about the safety of panhandling in the middle of a street. She points out that some panhandlers are dropped off and “pimped” out in exchange for a roof over their heads.
Economic Development Nestel believes that to attract new business and development to south KC, the area needs to be cleaned up, crime stopped and the homeless camps and panhandling eliminated. She says tax incentives should be given to small, local business owners–those who can’t afford the taxes–rather than the big developers who can.

former party standing at the altar. Tom has just announced that he would not seek another term.
Two years ago, Tom and another long time self declared Democrat Tim Sheldon, abandoned the party caucus and succeeded in denying Senate Democrats an elected majority, in doing so, Tom became majority leader, Shelden, the president pro-tempore. This enraged the State Democratic Committee, they soon voted to censure Tom and Sheldon. Tom's backslide should have been a coup for Republicans, but they now find themselves at the 11th hour without a candidate.

David Letterman in 2015. Colbert's show The Colbert Report on Comedy Central has been a hit since it's launch in 2005. Colbert, in my opinion, seems to have that certain type of subtle humor (for lack of a better word) that would be a good fit for the network, similar to the style that allow Letterman a 20 year run.

Métron Monthly – May 2017
Our monthly feature guides you through some of the best things we’ve listened to this month. Here’s a round up of new(ish) releases for May, one of the best months for new music in a long time.
Do Make Say Think – Stubborn Persistent Illusions [Constellation]
Canadian outfit Do Make Say Think have been around for as long as I can remember but it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from them. New LP ‘Stubborn Persistent Illusions’ marks their first output in eight years and stands as one of the bands finest musical statements to date. It’s a record one might expect from a band that has been performing together for over twenty years, a beautifully balanced and boundlessly energetic release which, for the most part, remains true to the bands now signature sonic identity. Two drummers and two guitars driving forward their jazzy blend of post-rock, one that rarely feels tired or overly familiar.
Favourite Track(s) – Horripilation & And Boundless
Kara Lis Coverdale – Grafts [Boomkat Editions]
The Toronto based classically trained pianist returns with a new 22 minute piece of music that is utterly spell binding from start to finish. Her looped, warped, Satie-esque piano set aside constantly shifting synths, samples and found sounds brings to mind some of the evolving compositions of Steve Reich. One of the most enjoyable and meditative compositions of the year so far. You can listen in full for free below.
Favourite Track(s) – Grafts
Hiro Kone – Love is the Capital [Geographic North]
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Geographic North, from it’s ever growing list of fine releases to it’s signature design work, the Atlanta based imprint continues to do a lot of things right. After superb recent releases from Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Strategy the labels latest offering is the debut full length from Nicky Mao, formerly of Effi Briest Hiro Kone moniker.
From the pulsating opening drones Love Is The Capital is an excellent sonically dense release and statement of intent from it’s author. At it’s core it’s an experimental techno record, awash with other influences, electro, rock, ambient, punk and breaks to name a few. It will be interesting to see what Mao does next.
Favourite Track(s) – Less Than Two Seconds and Ruhksana
Mark McGuire – Guitar Meditations [Self released]
If I could only listen to the music of a small handful of musicians for my remaining days, Mark McGuire would certainly be one of them. There is just something about his beautiful recordings, centred for the most part around looped guitar parts, that I am completely unable to resist. The former Emeralds guitarist releases music of a richly evocative nature at an alarmingly prolific rate (his second full length on VDSQ titled ‘Ideas of Beginnings’ was also released this month and is well worth picking up). Perhaps I am simply a sucker for his style, but his work is remarkably consistent and his best tracks spark emotional peaks that are rarely matched.
His guitar meditations releases, of which this is the third iteration, are self released via Mark’s Bandcamp page. Much less fanfare than his studio recordings for Dead Oceans or with Emeralds. And yet for me these deeply meditative, nostalgic and hopeful recordings are some of his most compelling and enjoyable compositions.
Favourite Track(s) – 08.01.2014
Sinjin Hawke – First Opus [Fractal Fantasy]
The debut LP from Fractal Fantasy co-founder Sinjin Hawke is one of the most impressive debut releases of the year, a dazzling display of musical production. Hawke draws on a wide range of electronic music styles and yet he manages to create a sonic universe beholden to nobody. The best way I can describe it is to imagine a bizarre collaboration between Balam Acab and Hudson Mohawke.
Built around choral vocal samples, sliced and looped to haunting and beautiful effect, something Quietus writer Ben Cardew perfectly describes as an ”alien acapella orchestra”, everything about First Opus is tinged with a sci-fi filter that would fit perfectly on a 2017 remake of ‘The Fifth Element’. And like the 1997 movie this is a polarising record. You will either fall into the luxuriously intoxicating bright textures or recoil at every alien echo and trap drenched beat. Whether it stands the test of time remains to be seen but as of today I for one am enamoured with Hawke’s bizarre and striking world.
Favourite Track(s) – Snow Blind
Les Amazones d’Afrique – République Amazone [Real World Records]
The first record from all female West African collective Les Amazones d’Afrique draws from a wide variety of styles, both Western and African. Vocal performers are front and centre with great contributions from Mamani Keita, Angélique Kidjo, Kandia Kouyaté and Rokia Kone. It is the young Malian vocalist Kone who makes the biggest impact, her distinctive tone and seemingly endless energy drive many of the records finer moments.
Favourite Track(s) – La Dame et Ses Valises & Deep In Love
Colin Stetson – All This I Do For Glory [52hz]
The latest LP from the incredibly talented American saxophonist Colin Stetson reaffirms his position as one of the brightest and most dedicated musicians around. For those not familiar this is will be an exciting new reality. Stetson has ostensibly rewritten the rule book on how one can use the saxophone to make music. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform earlier this year and was blown away by the raw power he is able to display both physically and sonically. And you can hear the breathless, restless and fervent energy of his technique all over ‘All This I Do For Glory’. It might not be a huge leap from his previous work but it’s still a fascinating approach that yields incredible results.
Let us know what we’ve missed and what you’ve been listening to recently.


I could bet that there are not many liberal or progressive-oriented Hispanics who have thought that one day they would miss the figure and political thought of a conservative like George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States.
After all, real estate mogul Donald Trump managed to capture the vote of a significant number of Latino men, both in the 2016 presidential election and in his failed bid for reelection in 2020.
But the rebirth during the Biden era of the national debate on immigration reform to legalize 11 million undocumented immigrants has made it inevitable to contrast the two faces of the Republican Party: the humanitarian and inclusive face of Bush, versus the hostile and discriminatory face of Trump.
Away from the political scene for the past 12 years, George Walker Bush decided to return to the public square to lobby his own Republican party for comprehensive immigration reform, offering citizenship to undocumented immigrants who have a clean criminal record and have paid their back taxes.
It is a perfect synchronization with President Biden’s own immigration policy, reflected in the Citizenship Bill 2021, which is promoted in the Senate by the Democratic Senator of New Jersey Bob Menéndez and in the House of Representatives by the legislator from California Linda Sánchez.
“I do not pretend to give recipes, I do not want to tell Congress how to do this or that, what I do want to tell Congress is to put aside the harsh rhetoric on immigration and that neither side seeks to score political points. I hope to help set a more respectful tone towards immigrants that can lead to a reform of the system,” Bush told CBS this weekend from his Prairie Chapel Ranch in Texas.
Now dedicated to the hobby of painting, Bush acknowledged that his failure to get immigration reform passed during his eight years in the federal government has been one of his biggest disappointments and regretted that politicians use the reality of the immigration phenomenon to scare people. voters.
The best window of opportunity to pass comprehensive immigration reform is likely to be this year. However, the reality is that the majority of voters in the midst of the pandemic assign a low priority to the immigration debate, despite the fact that the emergency of migrant children at the border has captured the attention of the nation.
George W. Bush does not know if his party will pay attention to his immigration vision. Republicans believe they have a good chance to win back the Lower House and Senate next year. We’ll see. Joe Biden has accumulated extensive political capital from his response to the pandemic. Nearly seven in 10 Americans appreciate his work as the nation’s virtual chief physician.
But if Republicans turn their backs on sensible immigration reform once again, they may have lost one of their last chances to remain a political institution with real potential to govern a multiracial, multiethnic and multicultural country at the national level.

Walter “Walt” Whitman was an American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse.
Issue Date: February 20, 1940
First City: Camden, New Jersey
Quantity Issued: 22,207,780
Printed by: Bureau of Engraving and Printing
A New Yorker by birth, Whitman first came to the Washington, D.C., area in December 1862, following the battle of Fredericksburg. He had rushed to the front to check on his brother George, whose name had appeared on a casualty list. Once assured that his brother would be fine (he had a superficial cheek wound), Whitman began aiding the many seriously wounded men as they were transported to Washington. In the following years he visited the dozens of hospitals that sprang up everywhere in the capital (all types of structures were adapted to accommodate the wounded, including a blacksmith’s shop).
He visited soldiers from both north and south, to whom he dispensed oranges, stationery, small amounts of cash, candy, bread pudding, and love. He was a sustaining presence to many frightened young men suffering from amputations, dysentery, smallpox, and a variety of other debilitating wounds and ailments. The urgency of the times is captured in the poet’s October 13, 1863, letter to his mother, Louisa Van Velsor Whitman:
There is a new lot of wounded now again. They have been arriving, sick & wounded, for three days—First long strings of ambulances with the sick. But yesterday many with bad & bloody wounds, poor fellows. I thought I was cooler & more used to it. . . . I had provided a lot of nourishing things for the men, but for another quarter—but I had them where I could use them immediately for these new wounded as they came in faint & hungry, & fagged out with a long rough journey, all dirty & torn, & many pale as ashes, & all bloody—I distributed all my stores, gave partly to the nurses I knew that were just taking charge of them—& as many as I could I fed myself—Then besides I found a lot of oyster soup handy, & I procured it all at once—Mother, it is the most pitiful sight I think when first the men are brought in—I have to bustle round, to keep from crying—.
At times Whitman wondered if his labors did the men any good: “I do not see that I do much good to these wounded and dying,” he wrote; “but I cannot leave them.” After the war several soldiers credited Whitman with saving their lives.
Yet, the Washington city directory listed him not as “national poet” nor as “missionary to the wounded” but instead as “Whitman, Walt, clerk.” He functioned primarily as a secretary of the day, spending much of his time as a scribe or copyist. Beginning in 1863, he worked in the Army paymaster’s office and for the Bureau of Indian Affairs before gaining a clerkship in the attorney general’s office.
All of the documents I have identified were in records of the attorney general’s office and date from 1865 to 1873. These records are now filed as Department of Justice records, though that department did not exist when Whitman began his employment.
As noted, although Whitman’s work as a clerk spanned a significant number of years, it has received surprisingly little attention from biographers. In 1943, Dixon Wecter published a valuable article on “Walt Whitman as Civil Servant.” No one has followed up on his work in any significant way, perhaps because Wecter made no estimates about the number of documents in Whitman’s handwriting. In fact, the article discusses about a dozen items but never implies that there are a vast number of other documents to be explored. When scholars have described Whitman’s government work, they suggest he took things casually, sauntered into work when he wanted to, put in a few hours, and left when it suited him.
The full extent of these government documents only recently came to light because of the work of the Walt Whitman Archive , a project I co-edit with Professor Ed Folsom of the University of Iowa. This freely available resource sets out to make Whitman’s vast work, for the first time, easily and conveniently accessible to scholars, students, and general readers.
The Walt Whitman Archive will present high-quality color facsimile images of these documents, along with searchable transcriptions. The facsimile images are especially important since not more than a handful of these documents are signed or initialed by Whitman. One of the few documents that is initialed appears here. It is a July 14, 1868, letter in Whitman’s hand having to do with pensions. A marginal note, also in Whitman’s hand, says: “This letter has been withdrawn and cancelled—is to be considered as never having been written. W.W.” The practice of canceling a document is straightforward. However, the phrasing here is curious, perhaps even nonsensical. How can one look at writing and regard it as never having been written?
Intriguingly, the comment serves as an apt description of how Whitman’s work as a scribe has been treated—as cancelled, non-consequential, writing that somehow left no mark either on the writer or the world.
Actually, these documents have double significance both because they contributed to national redefinition in the aftermath of civil war and because of Whitman’s role in their creation. For the most part, the documents I have located were internal fair copies of outgoing correspondence. These were kept for reference purposes—as a record of orders, instructions, and policies.
Interestingly, in a case dealing with a murder in Dakota Territory, we can compare one of apparently several external copies with the internal office copy. The letters are nearly identical in semantic content, although they are visually quite distinct because they were written by two different scribes.
In addition, in this case the external copy has with it illuminating contextual information not found with the office copy. It is unclear how many other documents in Whitman’s handwriting might be found across the country if a systematic search were to be conducted for the external or sent copies. Presumably, the information in these copies would duplicate what we have in the internal copies of record.
At the Walt Whitman Archive, You Can Judge for Yourself
The identification of almost all of the documents, with the exception of the few that bear Whitman’s initials, depends on recognition of his handwriting, and it is important to provide the evidence in full. These documents are being mounted in an online environment containing previously known pieces of signed correspondence. Users are welcome to judge for themselves the authenticity of the documents.
All material that we present—Whitman’s poetry, prose, photographs, personal correspondence, scribal documents, and more—is made freely available to a world audience. We are able to do this thanks to support from four different universities and grants from various federal agencies including the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Endowment for the Humanities. For the discovery described here, we are indebted to the National Historical Publication and Records Commission (NHPRC), the publishing arm of the National Archives. Their support enabled us to publish the first 800 of the newly discovered scribal documents in fall 2011, with the remainder scheduled for the following year.
Should these documents be dismissed because Whitman was not the sole “author” of them in the typical sense? Actually, it is not clear how much he contributed to many of the letters he copied. We have to wonder how many of these documents may have been created in the manner James Speed described, with a capable clerk left to “revise and finish it.”
With regard to any one particular document we can only speculate about how Whitman might have served as author or copyist or both. Regarding the overall working of the office, we do have Whitman’s description given in conversation with Horace Traubel: Whitman said he had been “put in charge of the Attorney General’s letters.” In this instance, Whitman did not specify which one he meant of the several attorneys general he served, perhaps implying that it was a common practice for them all.
Whitman continued by saying: “cases were put into my hands—small cases: the Attorney General could not attend to them all so passed some of them over to me to examine, report upon, sum up.”
At other times, Whitman is more specific in his remarks to Traubel, as in these comments about Henry Stanbery, the attorney general under Andrew Johnson, before Stanbery stepped down in order to defend Johnson during his impeachment.
“I was the Attorney General’s clerk there,” he said, “and did a good deal of writing. [Stanbery] seemed to like my opinions, judgment. So a good part of my work was to spare him work—to go over the correspondence,—give him the juice, substance of affairs—avoiding all else.”

Nothing Moments Series
That ringmaster of artistic mayhem, Steven Hull, the genius behind AB OVO, has cracked the whip to organize a group of over 100 artists, writers and designers in this latest project, which resulted in 24 uniquely designed books, collectively including more than 400 original drawings. Working with major collaborators Tami Demaree, Annie Buckley and Jon Sueda, Hull creates a cross -pollination of the populist sensibility of a book fair and the rarified atmosphere of contemporary art. In his typical relay-race approach, Hull starts with a writer who creates a work of fiction, which is then passed to an artist who makes drawings in response to the story. Art and text are then delivered to a designer who creates a unique book design. In celebrating the blurring of boundaries between disciplines, the project bursts with an exciting, collaborative energy and raises thought-provoking questions for contemporary critical discourse. Available as individual titles or as a limited-edition set in a bag.

Andrew Maurice Gold (August 2, 1951 – June 3, 2011) was an American singer, musician and songwriter. His works include the Top 10 single "Lonely Boy" (1977), as well as "Thank You for Being a Friend" (1978), and "Never Let Her Slip Away" (1978).
Gold was a multi-instrumentalist, and he was also an artist, producer, film composer, session musician, actor, and painter.
Gold was born in Burbank, California, and later joined a family business. His mother is singer Marni Nixon (who provided the singing voice for numerous actresses, notably Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady); his father was Ernest Gold, the Austrian-born, Academy Award-winning composer for the movie Exodus. He has two younger sisters. Gold began writing songs at the age of 13.
By the early 1970s he was working as a musician, songwriter and record producer for many musicians. He was a member of the Los Angeles band Bryndle alongside Kenny Edwards, Wendy Waldman and Karla Bonoff. He played a major role as multi-instrumentalist and arranger for Linda Ronstadt's breakthrough album, 1974's Heart Like a Wheel, and her next four albums. Among other accomplishments, he played the majority of instruments on the album's first track, including the guitar work on "You're No Good," Ronstadt's first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, and the same on "When Will I Be Loved", "Heat Wave", and many other classic hits. He was in her band from 1973 until 1977, and then sporadically throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
In 1975, Gold began recording as a solo artist, releasing four studio albums in the 1970s and over twelve since then. His hit single "Lonely Boy" reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June, 1977 and has appeared in many film soundtracks, including Boogie Nights (1997) and Adam Sandler's movie Water Boy, among others. Although "Lonely Boy" was the bigger radio hit in the States, his single "Thank You For Being A Friend" (which peaked at #25 in 1978) later gained popularity as the theme song for the 1985–1992 NBC situation comedy The Golden Girls (performed by Cindy Fee for the show). Gold is also known for his biggest UK hit song "Never Let Her Slip Away", which was a UK #5 hit twice, by him and again at #5 fourteen years later by Undercover. Freddie Mercury, who was a friend of Gold's, assisted him with sparse harmony vocals as an uncredited background singer. Gold was pleased that Petula Clark covered "Lonely Boy" in French ("Poor Lonesome Playboy"). It is on her Paris, Orleans, Paris set. He attended one of her performances and reminded her that she had recorded the song. In 1976 Gold wrote the title track "Endless Flight" for Leo Sayer's hit album.
1975 also marked a successful collaboration with Art Garfunkel, playing most of the instruments on Garfunkel's solo hit "I Only Have Eyes For You" (which went to no.1 on the UK Singles Chart), as well as several other cuts on Garfunkel's album Breakaway, and Gold played guitar on two cuts of Eric Carmen's, Boats Against the Current album, including "She Did It", which was a #23 hit that same year. Throughout the years, he played and/or sang on records and/or live performances with Carly Simon, Jennifer Warnes, Stephen Bishop, Nicolette Larson, Maria Muldaur, Neil Diamond, Barbi Benton, Juice Newton, Leo Sayer, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Karla Bonoff, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Brian Wilson, Don Henley, Cher's hit album, Heart of Stone, wrote hits for Trisha Yearwood, Wynonna Judd, for whom he co-wrote the #1 single "I Saw The Light" with Lisa Angelle, whom he later produced on her own album. He toured with The Eagles, played on records and toured with Jackson Browne, produced, wrote and sang/played on three 10cc tracks; played and sang on record, and toured with James Taylor, produced singles for Vince Gill, and wrote and produced for Celine Dion; was second engineer on part of Joni Mitchell's Blue album.
In the early 1980s, after 10cc's 1981 album Ten Out of 10 was completed, founding members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman invited Gold to become a member. Although he was a fan of "I'm Not In Love" and "The Things We Do for Love", and wanted to join, business conflicts prevented him from doing so. In late 1983, 10cc broke up, but Gold and Gouldman formed Wax. Wax recorded and toured for five years, enjoying success worldwide and had several top 10 hits including "Right Between the Eyes", and their biggest hit "Bridge to Your Heart". In 1986, interestingly, the duo had a #1 hit in Spain, lasting 6 months on top, and in a bizarre record company decision, no further singles were released there. The band broke up in 1989, but Gold and Gouldman continued to write and record together when possible.
During the 1990s Gold once again joined forces with bandmates Karla Bonoff, Wendy Waldman and Kenny Edwards to re-form Bryndle and release their first album. In 1996, he left Bryndle and released, Halloween Howls, considered by Dr. Demento as one of the two best Halloween albums in history. The same year he recorded under a pseudonym, The Fraternal Order Of The All, "Greetings from Planet Love" on his own record label, QBrain Records. This album utilized a fake 1960s band, with original songs in the style of Gold's favorite 1960s bands, such as The Beatles, The Byrds and The Beach Boys. He released a rarities Wax album, Bikini Wax, and the same year he released ....Since 1951. He has since also produced, composed, and/or written songs for numerous films, such as the comedy Rectuma from director Mark Pirro and contributed songs for many television soundtracks and commercials. He sang "Final Frontier", the theme song for the television sitcom Mad About You. His rendition of the song was used as the wake-up call for the Mars Pathfinder space probe in 1996. Gold also produced seven albums for Eikichi Yazawa.
In 2006, Gold appeared in concert with the classic rock group America (band), later released as a DVD entitled "America And Friends - Live At The Ventura Theater" performing "Thank You For Being A Friend", "The Final Frontier", "Bridge To Your Heart" and "Lonely Boy", as well as accompanying America and guest Stephen Bishop on guitar and vocals. Gold had earlier produced America's "Holiday Harmony" Christmas album back in 2002, where he also played most instruments and co-wrote the track "Christmas in California."
Although Gold put personal references in "Lonely Boy" (1977) including his year of birth, he admitted in an interview that it was not autobiographical: "Maybe it was a mistake to do that but I simply put in those details because it was convenient. I hadn't been a lonely boy at all – I'd had a very happy childhood."

It hasn’t been too long after the Swedish legislators have announced the re-regulation of the country’s gambling market that Evolution Gaming has been confirmed to enter the market.
Swedish Gambling Market Reopens
The Sweden’s national legislature has been approved on 7th June 2018 with new gambling law set to take full effect on 1st January 2019 when the world’s leading provider of Live Casino solutions Evolution Gaming is setting foot in Sweden.
The Swedish horse racing operator AB Trav och Galopp (AGT) has chosen Evolution Gaming as its official live dealer supplier in an attempt to establish itself as ‘the largest and most profitable company in the Nordic region operating on a global market’.
The company’s business activity has thus far been regulated by a contract between ATG’s owners, the Swedish Trotting Association and the Swedish Jockey Club, and the Swedish state which as of next year will officially give a green light to the introduction of Live Casino services.
Evolution Gaming Goes Back to its Roots
As an international giant with a Swedish root, Evolution Gaming is proud to be the company chosen to power one of the most respectable gaming units in Sweden as it prepared to take a giant leap into the new regulatory framework.
“Having delivered first-to-market advantage to our licensees in many other re-regulated jurisdictions, we are uniquely placed and equipped to deliver similar advantage to operators in the new Swedish market.”, Group CEO at Evolution Gaming, martin Carlesund, stated.
AGT was founded in 1974 and is one of the most respectable names in the gambling industry.

Speaking at the event, head of the Vietnamese mission in Geneva, Ambassador Duong Chi Dung said the Vietnamese economy grew by 6.8 percent last year with foreign reserve nearing 60 billion USD and export-import hitting all-high 425 billion USD, 36 billion USD of which was from farm produce export. Vietnam’s role on the international arena has increasingly improved, highlighted by the success of the APEC Year 2017, he said. The ambassador attributed the growth to contributions of Vietnamese nationals abroad, especially in investment and manufacturing.

Greenish Blue insulanus subspecies (Plebejus saepiolus insulanus Blackmore) is a subspecies of the Nearctic butterfly species P. saepiolus (Boisduval), the Greenish Blue, in the family Lycaenidae, which includes the blues, hairstreaks, and coppers. Seven subspecies of P. saepiolus are taxonomically described, two of which occur in British Columbia (B.C.): Greenish Blue insulanus subspecies, and P. saepiolus amica (W.H. Edwards). Greenish Blue insulanus subspecies is endemic to southern Vancouver Island, BC. The amica subspecies occurs from Yukon to Labrador and south through the mountains of California and Arizona. It occurs throughout B.C. except on the coast). The most recent records of Greenish Blue insulanus subspecies are from Mount Malahat (1979), Mount Arrowsmith (1962, 1963), and Mount Finlayson (1960). Although the subspecies has not been recorded since 1979, surveys of potential habitat are incomplete and unconfirmed sightings are periodically reported. No extant population is known at this time.

300,00 SF Mixed-Use, 1,200 Space Parking Structure, 12 Story Hotel
The Epicentre is the premier entertainment destination in downtown Charlotte, NC. It is located adjacent to the primary CATS light rail station and the Spectrum Arena home of the Charlotte Hornets. The project occupies a full city block, organized as a 4-story open air mall sitting atop a 4-story underground parking structure. Emphasis was placed on creating inviting plazas and pedestrian streets to connect the city sidewalks and make the Epicentre a part of the city fabric. RAD’s design was able to plan for unknown tenants stacked vertically in complex configurations such as Movie Theater over Physicians Office over Bowling Alley. The design accommodated utilities and delivery/ receiving areas for all future tenants.
RAD created an inviting and vibrant mixed-use attraction by bringing the outdoor pedestrian traffic flow through the center of the property. Connections were made linking the Uptown Overstreet Mall to the downtown Intermodal Light Rail Station making this property a hotspot for urban nightlife.

All You Need To Know About Cosmetic Surgery Before Undertaking It
Plastic operation is the ongoing innovation that is trending in the society today. It is gaining popularity in all parts of the world as people are getting familiar with it and even having it. People have placed so much value on how they look and are taking a step to decide how they should be like as opposed to how they were created naturally. Cosmetic surgery has its own positive and adverse side effects on the person that chooses to have it. There are two kinds of people having plastic surgery; one that circumstances have forced her into it while the other is out of free will. Plastic surgeries are done for various reasons, and in most cases, it’s because one wants to get an improved version of themselves. It is essential that you take your time and be cautious before deciding to have a plastic surgery despite what your reasons are.
You should be aware that that plastic surgeries are different and are in various types, the same applies to the surgeons present in the market. Making a decision to have a cosmetic surgery could be life-changing and irreversible, it is thus important that you do not rush into it and do your research first. Do a background check on the cosmetic surgeon or clinic that you are considering to have your surgery. Choose a hospital that is well known on the positive side and is licensed to operate in the field of cosmetic surgery. This is a guarantee to the quality levels of the services you will receive.
Plastic surgeries are expensive and in most cases insurance companies do not have policies that cover it. It is therefore recommended that you do a cost estimate and then have a financial plan for it. This is a critical issue to avoid the stress of not having the ability to cater for the expenses. Your budget should not limit you up to when the surgery is done since you have other expenses like follow up cares. Discuss issues concerning finances and how you will pay for the surgery with your surgeon or the hospital itself.
You need to visit the hospital that will conduct your surgery physically, take a look at the facility well and determine whether the equipment and resources they have to comply with your standards. It is also recommended to find a surgeon with a significant amount of experience in the field. It is with this that you can get to determine the quality of service you will receive. It is vital for you as a patient that you have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery, no miracles will happen that you will ultimately be a different person, your physical features will still be in place but only in an advanced manner. Keep in mind of the possible complications that occur during and after the surgery as your surgeon will brief you on them.

February 15, 2017 | Louisville, Ky. | Events
Gresham, Smith and Partners announces that Senior Landscape Architect Jon Henney, ASLA, PLA, AICP-CUD, moderated a panel for landowners on historic landscape design and management at the Louisville and Jefferson County Environmental Trust’s sustainable landscape management workshop. The session, entitled “Historic Landscapes Design and Management – Respecting Those Who Came Before
,” took place on Saturday, February 4, at Locust Grove. Panelists included Executive Director of Locust Grove, Carol Ely, Louisville Metro Parks and Recreation Landscape Architect, John Swintosky, PLA, ASLA, and Lower Howards Creek Nature and Heritage Preserve Manager, Clare Sipple.
“The diverse range of issues brought forward by the panel really emphasized the complexity of historic landscape preservation,” commented Henney. “It’s important that we continue this dialogue to understand how best to manage the sites that we value. I hope that listeners took away some ideas about how they can actively manage the historic landscapes under their care.”
Details of the workshop are as follows:
“Historic Landscapes Design and Management – Respecting Those Who Came Before”
Kentucky and Louisville have their share of invasive plants which are evident essentially anywhere there is a patch of dirt – parks, school yards, street and highway rights-of-way, private yards and vacant lots. Such infestations of invasive plants and animals can negatively affect property values, agricultural productivity, water quality, public utility operations, tourism, outdoor recreation and the overall health of ecosystems. Panelists will take a look at the problem and describe how various agencies, nonprofit organizations and individuals are addressing the issue.
The “Historic Landscapes Design and Management – Respecting Those Who Came Before
” panel discussed the scope of historic landscape preservation and its context within the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Historic Properties. Application of these principles was then discussed through three cases studies: The historic landscape of Louisville’s Locust Grove Mansion; discovering, preserving and enhancing historic landscapes in Louisville’s Olmsted Parks; and restoring historic roads and industrial and residential sites within the Lower Howards Creek Nature and Heritage Center. Practical considerations for how landowners might apply these lessons to their own sites, as well as ways to help the ongoing work in public parks and preserves were also discussed.

Every year, at least once a year, there’s a large parade of police officers and associated personnel through the streets of Georgetown, fortunately for me they usually do it on a Saturday and they usually pass right in front of my office.
I never know beforehand that it’s about to occur, except for the sudden thudding of the drums coming down the street, so, like every curious citizen, I grab my camera and head out to the street to see what’s the cause of the noise.
I always snap a few photos, just on the off-chance that I may need something of that nature or that one may come out special.
I think I have a few more images in this week’s takings that qualify as “better”, but I saw this one and thought I think I like it, and I think I’d like it in sepia, with a vignette; so I actually wasted very little time in processing it, I just went straight to task and made the few adjustments that were already in my head.
Sometimes, in any art form, you have to break away from the norm, step away from the straight and narrow line that you’ve followed all along, and try something different.
I’ve broken the rule about shooting into the sun before, so this is not new…. but trying to get the palm tree and horse as the focus while doing so was different for me, and even then I was not ecstatic about it, when processing, I went for a duotone processing that I don’t do, and I though that the result was pleasing.
Although the original duotone processing had much more colour to it, I toned it down a bit to bring the focus back to the photo rather than the duotone, and the result; “sunset Liliendaal” 🙂

Humankind has relied on various methods to awaken them throughout the ages, as in to awaken them in the morning for the new day.
From the bright rays of the newly risen sun on your face, to the crow of the rooster, from that great invention; the alarm clock, to the thump from an angry wife who wants the garbage taken out, from the gentle sounds of the animals in nature, to the roar of early morning traffic (if you wake that late), from the shouts of a mother “You’re late for school!” to the electronic beeps of new messages on your cell-phone, maybe even something like the much exalted smell of fresh coffee in the morning, there have been things to awaken you.
My phone has an annoying alarm that certainly wakes my wife, and eventually myself, but nothing can compare to the sound of a regular visitor we have to our area. For years he (or one of his family members, at any rate) has come during the first minutes of the brightening day to begin his rat-a-tat outside my home and continue for what seems like hours (ok, maybe one hour). A Pilleated Woodpecker who lives somewhere in the vicinity, chooses the utility post in front of my house to sharpen his beak every morning, and he doesn’t only peck at the wood, he pecks upon the galvanised metal protector that runs up the post too! He actually seems to prefer that!
So what did I do about it? One morning I took out my Canon and shot him… several times… at least until I was fairly certain that at least one of the shots would produce a good photo 🙂
Click on the image to see it in the gallery along with other Sunrise and Sunset images.
No animals were hurt during the writing of this blog nor in any of the events leading up to it. 🙂
Although the week is yet to be concluded, I thought it may be prudent to go ahead and post what I have, although I have high hopes of getting more photos before the week is over 🙂
This is not a sharp photograph, the main subject is definitely not sharp but the overall image is very representative.
I had packed away my long telephoto lens for my flight (only 270mm, not long by bird watching standards), I didn’t want to carry too much in the Camera bag, and on my way to work I saw this fellow, and all I had was the Sigma 17-50, so I decided that an all-inclusive shot had to work. I saw him on a fence and when I stopped and got out of the car, he flew up the road to the next block, as I drove up, he sat there, so I wound down the window to get a few shots off, by the time I had done that he flew off again, so what I took (hastily) is what I got.
As I downloaded the image and began processing, I knew that this would be my photo for the Deck Project this week, I titled it “Ready to Fly”.
Whether or not I am actually ready, the flight leaves, so by the time I get to the airport I’d better be Ready to Fly 🙂
For me it will be a joy to see family I’ve never met, and family I haven’t seen in years, it will be an opportunity to look at an island I’ve seen before, but with a different perspective, and a camera in hand 🙂
So, for those I’m leaving behind, I say “see you shortly, I’ll be back before you know it” 🙂 And to the people and places I’m going to I say, “Ready or not, here I come”… and I want my Jammy Pattie!!!
Not sure if clicking on the image to see it in the Gallery would make it look any better, but go ahead, give it a try 🙂
Aday.org had come up with an idea to present “A day in the world” through photographs, they wanted photographers worldwide, from amateurs to professionals, basically anyone with a camera, to take a few photos on May 15th and upload them to their site. They had so many uploads they quickly got problems handling it and I am still not sure if my photos are there and if they are eligible for the final project, I think a lot of the information went AWOL during the upload. At the time of writing this blog-post, they are still sorting out everything to relaunch the website.
I took a few photos within the city to contribute, and I am choosing one of those to share as my photograph for Week 20 of this year.
Its a very familiar scene in Georgetown, this was “after-work” and these people are most likely workers on their way from their jobs to get transportation home, and I used City Hall as a backdrop for some added familiarity 🙂

Wonderful place for pasta or pizza. The staff is great - even the deliver guy(s) are nice. Its great food at a good rate. Located near Glencairn subway station.
This place makes great pizza! And its nice to help the local businesses out as well. The service is friendly and the location is fairly easy to get to. I believe you can park out front or go to Glencairn station and its right around the corner from there. If your in the area, give it a try!
Paul's makes the best pizza in the neighborhood. They use fresh ingredients and do not over cook the pizza and it is never too greasy. I have found that their tomato sauce has decreased in quality slightly over the last year. There chicken parmigiana is also quite good. The service is always friendly, if a little slow during busy times.
This restaurant replaced a local pizza takeout in May and we tried it for the first time today. Everything is a great price and comes in your choice of small, medium or large takeout containers, so it's very easy to get exactly as much food as you like. Other than the jerk chicken, the food is not spicy, but you... more
T'was in the moon of wintertime...
It was the Great Ice Storm of 2013.
The power had been off for days; the fridge was bare, and I had braved ice-slicked streets to protect my new home.
I was alone, having sent my spouse to my in-laws', where she could be warm for the night. I was determined to defend my homestead from sleet and snow, wandering bands of marauders and zombie hordes.
So you may ask, why were you in this neighbourhood? People hang out on Marlee Avenue? Well, I work near there. And I usually bring my lunch in a neatly packed eco-bag with delicious salads in glass tupperware. However, sometimes everyone in my office is lazy, and when that happens we call Paul's Tomato Pie.
They are a pleasure on the phone and deliver everything on time and still hot. My... more

Nkuku Fair Trade Mango Wood Artisan Plates
- → 27055912323
We adore the rustic style of these handmade Nkuku wooden plates! Each plate is painstakingly handcrafted from sustainable mango wood by skilled artisans in Rajasthan and available in two sizes— large dinner plates or smaller side plates. The eco-friendly wood is taken from mango trees that have finished producing fruit, simultaneously providing farmers with an additional income, and woodworking artisans a sustainable reclaimed material for their craft.
Side Plate: approx 0.8" h x 7.9" dia
Dinner Plate: approx 0.8" h x 10.6" dia
Care Instructions: To care for your mango wood, wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry immediately. We recommend regularly massaging in an edible oil such as olive oil, walnut oil, or our Mira's Naturals Wood Butter with a dry cloth to nourish and maintain the wood's integrity.
Nkuku works with independent artisans, social projects and small co-operatives while adhering to the globally recognized 10 Principles Of Fair Trade. This allows them to provide their artisans with a sustainable above-average income, in turn bringing economic and social development to their communities. Many of Nkuku's products are consciously handmade from reclaimed and recycled materials. In fact, they gather waste leftover from other industries including cotton from discarded t-shirts, leather, metals and glass as well as recycled saris.
The relationship between an artisan and his/her handmade goods imbues those items with a story. This makes each product not a mass market item, but an individually crafted heirloom with a unique character all its own. The ancient skills used by Fair Trade suppliers have been handed down from generation to generation, and your purchase helps keep that tradition and culture alive.
Please note: due to the handcrafted and recycled nature of these artisan plates, slight variations in size, shape, finish, grain & texture may occur, lending to each piece’s unique character.

Cruz joined Fox News host Jesse Watters for the Tuesday broadcast of “Jesse Watters Primetime,” and he addressed the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border — an issue about which he said “Joe Biden doesn’t give a damn.”
Can the 4.5 MILLION illegal aliens who’ve crossed the border under Biden be sent back?
Or is that just for rich Leftists on Martha’s Vineyard who the only time they're willing to see an immigrant is if they want someone to mow their damn lawn?
That’s the hypocrisy of the Left! pic.twitter.com/XXAW2a4bAr
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 28, 2022
“Look, I know that Democrats have one card in their entire deck, and it’s the race card. They scream racist, racist, racist,” Cruz began.
“But you know what, President Obama, you know what, President Biden? You know what’s racist?” Cruz asked. “When Joe Biden sits by and lets four and a half million people cross into this country illegally and he doesn’t care. You know what’s racist? When Joe Biden can’t be bothered to go down to the border and see the little girls and little boys being sexually assaulted by international cartels.”
“You know what’s racist?” Cruz continued without stopping to take a breath. “When Joe Biden doesn’t care about the Hispanic women being raped by the cartels. You know what’s racist? When Biden doesn’t care about the dead bodies that the cartels leave on Texas farms and ranches across the southern border. You know what’s racist? That Biden will do nothing to stop the 100,000 fentanyl overdoses that happened last year.”
“That is grotesque — and you know what’s racist?” Cruz added one more example. “When all the lily-white folks on Martha’s Vineyard sit back and say, ‘No, no, no, we don’t want any illegal immigrants here. Send them to South Texas, they can deal with it.’ That is grotesque, it’s offensive, and even to this day Joe Biden doesn’t give a damn.”
Watters responded to Cruz’s lengthy rant by saying he hadn’t seen the Texas Senator get quite that worked up in a very long time — and Cruz explained that even though Biden had not been to the border and seen firsthand the women and children who were being raped and trafficked by coyotes and cartels, he had.
Cruz concluded by noting that when the illegal immigrants were flown into Martha’s Vineyard, authorities there had moved to “deport” them to a military base within 24 hours — and he wondered whether Texas could do the same.
“Can we send them back?” he asked. “Oh, no, no, no, that’s just for rich billionaire leftists who the only time they’re willing to see an immigrant is if they want someone to mow their damn lawn.”

“Planet Earth is home to two very real worlds. We inhabit a tangible, visible world, which we experience through the senses and measure in units of space and time. We also inhabit an intangible world, eternal world — invisible, yet just as real. All of God’s people share a dual citizenship in these realms, yet many lose sight of the supernatural world, perhaps blinded by temporal concerns or enslaved by the tyranny of the urgent. Author William Irwin Thompson likened such people to flies crawling across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, blissfully unaware of the magnificent shapes and forms and colors that lie above them (or beneath them, as it were). Not only do they fail to appreciate the magnificence of the world they inhabit, they lack the capacity to recognize their own blindness.”
Believers are supposed to see the unseen, Hebrews 11:1, 13, 27. But we must also help those who have not believed see the unseen. We must be Grace Guides for those around us. In Sunday’s passage, Paul reminds believers in Crete of this responsibility. And, it reminds us of the immense responsibility we have.
How we do it? It is by our conduct! Take a minute and read Titus 1:1-3. He tells Titus to REMIND them of something, 3:1a; secondly to REVEAL something, 3:1b-2; and finally to REMEMBER something, 3:3.
See you Sunday!
