I just now heard the story of Wright, Mamah Borthwick, and Taliesin for the first time. - Greg GuitarBuster

On August 15, 1914, while Wright was working in Chicago, Julian Carlton, a black male servant from Barbados who had been hired several months earlier, set fire to the living quarters of Taliesin and murdered seven people with an axe as the fire burned. The dead included Mamah; her two children, John and Martha; a gardener; a draftsman named Emil Brodelle; a workman; and another workman's son. Two people survived the mayhem, one of whom helped to put out the fire that almost completely consumed the residential wing of the house. Carlton swallowed muriatic acid immediately following the attack in an attempt to kill himself. He was nearly lynched on the spot, but was taken to the Dodgeville jail. Carlton died from starvation seven weeks after the attack, despite medical attention. At the time, Wright was overseeing work on Midway Gardens in Chicago, Illinois. - Greg GuitarBuster

California Gov. Jerry Brown said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz's position on climate change makes him "absolutely unfit to be running for office." Responding to comments made by Cruz on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," Democratic Governor Brown said of Cruz, "That man betokens such a level of ignorance and a direct falsification of the existing scientific data. It's shocking and I think that man has rendered himself absolutely unfit to be running for office." - Greg GuitarBuster

Painted in a few swift brushstrokes and deftly applied ink washes, Chan Master Riding a Mule exemplifies the freely expressive manner of Chan (Zen, in Japanese) Buddhist painting, which relies less on descriptive detail than on the capturing of spiritual concentration within the artist to achieve a vivid depiction. Inscribed by the noted Chan master Wuzhun, to whom it traditionally has been attributed, the painting is probably the work of a contemporary Chan artist following the sketchy brush style of Liang Kai (active first half of the thirteenth century). Wuzhun, well known for his wisdom as well as for his eccentric behavior, inscribed this painting while he was living at the Qingshansi, a Chan temple near Hangzhou, where he settled after he was rewarded by Emperor Lizong (r. 1225–1264) following an imperial audience. The rider's facial features—prominent forehead, mustache, and wispy beard—are not unlike those of Wuzhun himself, whose formal portrait, with an inscription by him dated 1238, is now in the Tofuku-ji temple in Kyoto. His laconic inscription may also be a self-deprecatory reference to himself: - Greg GuitarBuster

I'm wondering if the inscription is a comment on aging and the mind. - Greg GuitarBuster

Beyond Representation surveys Chinese painting and calligraphy from the eighth to the fourteenth century, a period during which Chinese society and artistic expression underwent profound changes. A fourteenth-century Yuan dynasty (1279–1368) literati landscape painting presents a world that is totally different from that portrayed in the monumental landscape images of the early Sung dynasty (960–1279). To chronicle and explain the evolution from formal representation to self-expression is the purpose of this book. Wen C. Fong, one of the world's most eminent scholars of Chinese art, takes the reader through this evolution, drawing on the outstanding collection of Chinese painting and calligraphy in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Focusing on 118 works, each illustrated in full color, the book significantly augments the standard canon of images used to describe the period, enhancing our sense of the richness and complexity of artistic expression during this six-hundred-year era. - Greg GuitarBuster

Let me make my case, however minimally, based on five areas in which at least the faint outlines of that new system seem to be emerging: political campaigns and elections; the privatization of Washington through the marriage of the corporation and the state; the de-legitimization of our traditional system of governance; the empowerment of the national security state as an untouchable fourth branch of government; and the demobilization of "we the people." - Greg GuitarBuster

Since then, “we the people” have made ourselves felt in only three disparate ways: from the left in the Occupy movement, which, with its slogans about the 1% and the 99%, put the issue of growing economic inequality on the map of American consciousness; from the right, in the Tea Party movement, a complex expression of discontent backed and at least partially funded by right-wing operatives and billionaires, and aimed at the de-legitimization of the “nanny state”; and the recent round of post-Ferguson protests spurred at least in part by the militarization of the police in black and brown communities around the country. - Greg GuitarBuster

very strange. Chemi Rocha = Jimmy Rogers - Greg GuitarBuster

In the village of Kapkatet, Kenya in the early 1950’s, members of the Kipsigi tribe somehow came across a few 78 records of Jimmie Rodgers’ Blue Yodels. Convinced that such strange sounds could not come from a human, the voice was attributed to a centaur-like spirit they called Chemirocha. This half-man half-antelope is honored in fertility rites where young Kipsigi maidens dance seductively to the Jimmie Rodgers records, begging him to join them in a leaping dance in hopes that Chemirocha will jump completely out of his clothes. - Greg GuitarBuster

Money is like manure. For wealth to help nourish a healthy society, it can't be stored in a few big silos—it has to be spread all across the land. Today, however, the Powers That Be are doing the opposite, raking up all the money from the grassroots and loading it into the silos of the super-rich. One example tells the tale: There are about 158,000 Kindergarten teachers in America. Their combined pay in 2013 was $8.3 billion. That same year, the four highest-paid hedge fund hucksters on Wall Street raked in a total of $10.4 billion. Yes, only four men, who do zilch for the Common Good, hauled off more in personal pay than the 158,000 people (mostly women) who provide the essential, start-up schooling of our nation’s children. Now, guess which group is required by law to remit a greater share of their incomes to Uncle Sam in taxes? Right. - Greg GuitarBuster

Francita Alavez (ca.1816 – ca.1906) was known as the "Angel of Goliad," for saving the lives of Texas prisoners of war in the "Goliad Massacre" and at Copano and Victoria, Texas, by interceding on their behalf and persuading the help of Mexican officials. - Greg GuitarBuster

At El Cópano, she combined her compassion for humanity with her strong willed personality to influence important Mexican officials to treat the Texian prisoners humanely. When 80 soldiers of Major William Parsons Miller and the Nashville Battalion were captured by Urrea's soldiers, she influenced the Mexican soldiers to untie the men's hands and to give them something to eat.[1] In La Bahia (Goliad), due to the intervention of this Angel of Goliad and the courageous effort of Colonel Francisco Garay, 20 more men were held and spared as doctors, interpreters, or workers.[2] Francita entered the presidio the night before the massacre, bringing several men out with her and hiding them until after the Goliad Massacre. She also made sure the 80 men from Miller's Natchez group were not executed. In Victoria, where her husband was left in charge, she saw to it that the 26 Texan boat builders and workers there would be released and not executed - Greg GuitarBuster

The Field Recorders' Collective is an organization dedicated to the release of materials (music and photographs) from private collections. Your support for this extremely-focused project is important. In purchasing products from the Field Recorders' Collective, you will be making it possible for us to continue this endeavor and provide funds back to surviving musicians, immediate families and those collectors in the group attempting to maintain often endangered collections. Although some recordings in the collection have been shared between collectors informally, never before have they appeared with the higher quality found in the FRC releases. This is because of the technology available using pro-audio digital workstations. Further, these recordings have never before been generally made available to the old time and traditional music community. In so doing, the Field Recorders' Collective hopes to "democratize" these collections and see them form a public archive. This is opposed to seeing them disappear in the "black hole" of university and government archives which are, at best, difficult to gain entrance to or at worse, only for those with credentials for accessing them. We hope you will find the FRC releases an important addition to your traditional music library. - Greg GuitarBuster

There are no existing photos of Smith Casey. His name could have been Smith Cason, as the Library of Congress has him listed under that name on their checklist, even though the few titles that were issued on 78 RPM from his prison recording session has him labeled as Smith Casey. No one will ever know for certain what his real name was. Smith Casey:Vocals and Guitar Recorded in the dormitory of Clemens State Farm, Brazoria, Tx. April 16, 1939 by The Library of Congress. Originally issued on the 1942 album set "Folk Music of the United States, Vol. 4:Afro-American Blues & Game Songs (Library of Congress 17-B-1) (78 RPM) This recording taken from the CD "The Greatest In Country Blues Vol. 3 (1929-1956)" - Greg GuitarBuster

Geosmin is an organic compound with a distinct earthy flavor and aroma produced by a type of Actinobacteria, and is responsible for the earthy taste of beets and a contributor to the strong scent (petrichor) that occurs in the air when rain falls after a dry spell of weather or when soil is disturbed.[1] In chemical terms, it is a bicyclic alcohol with formula C12H22O, a derivative of decalin. Its name is derived from the Greek γεω- "earth" and ὀσμή "smell". - Greg GuitarBuster

4,8a-Dimethyl-decahydronaphthalen-4a-ol; Octahydro-4,8a-dimethyl-4a(2H)-naphthalenol - Greg GuitarBuster

Geosmin is produced by the gram-positive bacteria Streptomyces, a genus of Actinobacteria in the order Actinomycetales, and released when these microorganisms die. Communities whose water supplies depend on surface water can periodically experience episodes of unpleasant-tasting water when a sharp drop in the population of these bacteria releases geosmin into the local water supply. Under acidic conditions, geosmin decomposes into odorless substances.[2] In 2006, the biosynthesis of geosmin by a bifunctional Streptomyces coelicolor enzyme was unveiled.[3][4] A single enzyme, geosmin synthase, converts farnesyl diphosphate to geosmin in a two-step reaction. Streptomyces coelicolor is the model representative of a group of soil-dwelling bacteria with a complex lifecycle involving mycelial growth and spore formation. Besides the production of volatile geosmin, it also produces many other complex molecules of pharmacological interest; its genome sequence is available at the Sanger Institute - Greg GuitarBuster

The human nose is extremely sensitive to geosmin and is able to detect it at concentrations as low as 5 parts per trillion.[6] Geosmin is responsible for the muddy smell in many commercially important freshwater fish such as carp and catfish. Geosmin combines with 2-methylisoborneol, which concentrates in the fatty skin and dark muscle tissues. Geosmin breaks down in acid conditions; hence, vinegar and other acidic ingredients are used in fish recipes to help reduce the muddy flavor. The smell after a rainstorm is also attributed to geosmin. (The smell before the rain is ozone.)[ - Greg GuitarBuster

Because of a temporary switch to a new water pipeline, officials are recommending that a slice of lemon or lime be added to drinking water to mask possible “taste and odor issues.” Refrigerating the water can help too. “It is not definitive that customers will notice an issue,” said Mary Gugliuzza, communications coordinator for the city’s water department. But she said some areas of town — namely south, southwest, central and east — are more likely to experience an earthy smell and taste in their water. On Monday, Fort Worth’s Rolling Hills Water Treatment Plant began getting its water from Cedar Creek Lake and Lake Benbrook, which is presenting challenges because Benbrook contains high levels of geosmin, an organic compound most notably found in damp soil and beets. - Greg GuitarBuster
