@iowadream tagged me to post my top 5 songs lately. "lately" is a term i am taking to mean "in this moment" so these aren't what i've necessarily been listening to nonstop but it's what i'm thinking about today. i'm also going to do a tap dance called repping at least somewhat niche bands without doxxing myself. i've seen all of these groups live. i could go nicher but then it's all people i actually know personally and then you'll be able to tell where i live and my favorite local brewery and my favorite small town to go buy sandwiches in, and that's too much, you don't need all that. ok ready? ok!
1.
youtube
i've actually seen them twice in two different venues. excellent performances, i can't overstate how hard this group goes. tank's a spectacular vocalist.
2.
contra dance band for spice. east coast contra dancers where are we at! (on the east coast i guess)
3.
a band i know opened for her once. i think she's fun. i don't listen to this type of pop often but i like it when it's a live show. sydney was engaging and her music is a fun type of gritty sad girl thing. there were 3 bands that night and i really didn't like the middle one and she was the headliner so i felt kind of relieved when she started singing and i was like oh ok i can vibe with this.
4.
youtube
i put like three different groups in this spot before i decided on Indigo. who doesn't like indigo. de souza!
5.
i got my neighbors one of the special edition clear vinyls of this album. they were so impressed. B). my favorite song on this album is The Giver.

Eugene, OR
The historical background of Eugene, OR is an interesting topic. It is one way to be familiar with the famous city. Basically, it’s fascinating to talk about its early settlers. The first people to settle in the Eugene area were known as the Kalapuyans, also written Calapooia or Calapooya. They made "seasonal rounds," moving around the countryside to collect and preserve local foods, including acorns, the bulbs of the wapato and camas plants, and berries. In addition, they stored these foods in their permanent winter village. When crop activities waned, they returned to their winter villages and took up hunting, fishing, and trading.

Thoughts On "Karen" and ... Another DAMMIT
Thoughts On “Karen” and … Another DAMMIT
Sometime last year, I noticed I was seeing more and more news stories about women named ‘Karen’.  Now, I’ve known a few people named Karen in my live, and in fact even have a niece who is so-named, a former co-worker, and one of my daughter’s bandmates.  But suddenly there is a surge of women with this name.  I wondered if it were a generational thing, or what.  But then one day I read an article…

Katya Kabanova - Opera North - 09 February 2019 (Review)
I had a stressful day at work the previous day, which made me very reluctant to leave the house to see the opera.  However, I made myself see it, and I wish I did not.
It was not an enjoyable experience and I do not attribute my conclusion to the preceding day.
The story was very dark and scarcely believable in many respects.

Some people see the Anthropocene as a coming period of irreversible destabilization of the global climate system. [...] Sprague’s framing of today’s times comes out in Indigenous science fiction expression. Grace Dillon interprets Indigenous futurisms in literature and the arts as expressing how Indigenous peoples are currently living in a “post-Native Apocalypse.” [...] Indigenous peoples then do not always approach the climate crisis as an impending future to be dreaded. Heather Davis and Zoe Todd see an insidious irony in the different ways Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons approach the Anthropocene and climate crisis. [...]
Important emerging scholarship discusses how concepts and narratives of crises, dystopia, and apocalypse obscure and erase ongoing oppression against Indigenous peoples and other groups. April Anson shows how there are common themes of ‘‘settler apocalypticism’’ in U.S. politics and environmental literature. She discusses in her study how ‘‘apocalypse’’ and other narrative types (like states of emergency) ‘‘veil’’ settler colonialism and its histories of‘‘racial and environmental extraction’’ (Anson, 2017: 9). Mabel Gergan, Sara Smith, and Pavithra Vasudevan refer to certain apocalyptic and catastrophic deployments of the Anthropocene and climate crisis as ‘‘temporal sleight of hand’’. In their study examining “scientific debates and cultural representations,’’ they claim that many ‘‘imaginings of apocalypse’’ work to ‘‘escape specific culpability (for instance, in processes of settler colonialism, capitalism, or imperialism) and instead center a universal human frailty that ends with triumph, a clear moral, and a clean slate’’ (Gergan et al., 2018: 2). In my orbit of scholarship, I certainly see what these scholars are studying. Indeed, the narratives I have shared so far in the previous section could not be more different from how some of our allies narrate and portray Indigenous peoples in relation to the Anthropocene and climate crisis.

Don Marshall
Tumblr media
Donald James Marshall (May 2, 1936 – October 30, 2016) was an American actor best known for his role as Dan Erickson in the television show Land of the Giants.
Early life
Marshall was born on May 2, 1936, to Alama Marashall in San Diego. He lived with his mother and his maternal grandmother, Leola Williams, his two older sisters and his twin brother (Douglas). He graduated high school from San Diego High School in 1954. While studying engineering between 1956 and 1957, he was encouraged to try acting by a friend, Peter Bren. Marshall was still in the army at this time, but later studied acting at the Bob Gist Dramatic Workshop, while undertaking a course in Theatre Arts at Los Angeles City College. While at college, he was a pole vaulter on the track team.
Career
1960s
Marshall's first professional role was in a 1962 Columbia Studios feature The Interns in an uncredited role. In 1964, he was in Shock Treatment, another uncredited role. Also in 1964, Marshall took the role of Chris Logan, playing opposite Nichelle Nichols in CBS Repertoire Workshop episode titled "Great Gettin' Up Mornin'", a made-for-TV-movie about an African-American family preparing their children for their first day at a racially integrated school in America's south. That same year, Nichols played Marshall's fiancée in a controversial episode of Gene Roddenberry's series The Lieutenant. In 1965, Marshall appeared in a pilot for a series Premiere in the episode "Braddock". In 1966 he appeared as the recurring character of Luke in Daktari.
Later in the 1960s he appeared in Roddenberry's next series, Star Trek portraying Lt. Boma in the episode "The Galileo Seven" (1967). Other TV series he appeared in were Tarzan (the series with Ron Ely), Dragnet 1967, and Ironside. In 1968, he appeared as Ted Neumann, the recurring love interest of Julia Baker, in the television series Julia, a series about an African-American widow raising her son on her own.
Land of the Giants
As a result of appearing in Premiere in the episode "Braddock", the actor met Irwin Allen, leading to Marshall gaining his role in Land of the Giants, in which he performed alongside Gary Conway, Don Matheson, Kurt Kasznar, Stefan Arngrim, Deanna Lund and Heather Young. The series, created by Irwin Allen, featured Marshall as a competent African-American in a leading role. This was also a first for an African American male in the 1960s to be featured so prominently in science fiction. The only other African American actors to be in such a position in the 1960s were Nichelle Nichols, known for her role as Lt. Uhura in the TV series Star Trek, and Greg Morris as electronics expert Barney Collier in Mission: Impossible.
On set, the actors had to perform many of their own stunts and Marshall's athleticism was an asset, he credited his previous football, track and pole vaulting work that helped him with the stunts required. In one of the episodes, "Ghost Town", while diving over a fire, Marshall actually dislocated his shoulder and the next day they had to shoot new scenes with Marshall's arm in a sling. Another episode "Giants and All That Jazz" that featured former world champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson as Biff Bowers and Mike Mazurki as Loach, where Marshall had to teach Biff Bowers how to play the trumpet was one that Marshall in his own words calls "Beautiful" seems to be a favorite of his and made him want to act rather than follow or figure out what dialogue to use or say. He also says that actors had a better time on the set when Irwin Allen wasn't on the set. When he was it was very different and people would get uptight.
In later years Marshall wrote a script for a sequel to the series called Escape from a Giant Land. He hoped that it would be a big screen production and would feature as many original cast members as possible.
1970s
Marshall had a role in the made-for-TV-movie The Reluctant Heroes, aka The Egghead on Hill 656 (1971), a film that was directed by Robert Day. This was a war film set in the Korean War with men under a newly commissioned lieutenant who are trapped on a hill surrounded by the enemy. His character as Pvt. Carver LeMoyne was subject to continual racial abuse by Cpl. Leroy Sprague (Warren Oates). The film also starred Ken Berry, Jim Hutton, Ralph Meeker, Cameron Mitchell and Trini Lopez.
Marshall was subsequently cast in the role of Dr. Fred Williams in the science-fiction horror exploitation film The Thing with Two Heads (1972) which starred Ray Milland and Rosey Grier. This was a tale about a wealthy and racist white man who has his head transplanted onto the body of a black prisoner from death row. In 1974, he was cast in Uptown Saturday Night as Slim's Henchman. In 1976, he played the part of Captain Colter in an episode of The Bionic Woman and in 1979 he was in a two-part episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as Julio. From 1978 to 1980, Marshall was in three episodes of The Incredible Hulk.
1980–2016
In the 1980s, Marshall had few roles, appearing occasionally in episodes of Little House on the Prairie as Caleb Ledoux, as Doctor Jim Blair in Finder of Lost Loves and as Senator Ed Lawrence in Capitol. In 1992 he played the concierge in the Paul Schneider directed made-for-TV-movie Highway Heartbreaker. Marshall has often stated that he was proud of his work on Little House. In 2011, he was in Pioneers of Television as Pvt. Ernest Cameron in archival footage from the episode titled "To Set It Right" in 1964's The Lieutenant for PBS.
After he retired from acting, Marshall set up his own company called DJM Productions, Inc., which produced television commercials and documentary films. He was popular with Star Trek fans as he was a Star Trek convention regular.
Personal life and death
Marshall was in a relationship with Diahann Carroll (1969–1970). He was previously married to Diane Marshall. He had one daughter and one son. Marshall provided consultation on matters connected with his work and with racial issues, and received an award for "Outstanding Achievement in his field as a Black Achiever in the United States". He died on October 30, 2016, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Veteran actress BarBara Luna had reported his death on Facebook.

"JERICHO" RETROSPECT: (1.09) "Crossroads"
Tumblr media
"JERICHO" RETROSPECT: (1.09) "Crossroads" The previous episode of "JERICHO" - (1.08) "Rogue River" - left off with Jake and Eric Green returning home from a harrowing trip to a town called Rogue River with the medication needed to save their very ill father, Mayor Johnston Green. Unfortunately, Eric discovered that he had left his wallet, which included his identity, behind. Even worse, the leader of the Ravenwood mercenaries that they had encountered, John Goetz, had discovered Eric's wallet.
The series' ninth episode, (1.09) "Crossroads" focused upon the Ravenwood mercenaries' attempt to invade Jericho and rob the town of food and other supplies. Goetz made the mistake of leading a scouting party to the farm owned by Stanley Richmond, who did not hesitate to inform Jake and Eric about their presence. The two brothers quickly inform Jericho's other leading citizens, which include the two remaining lawmen, the mysterious Robert Hawkins and businessman Gray Anderson, about the potential threat of Ravenwood's arrival. The men manage to recruit of citizens to defend the town at a crossroads by barricading the road with trucks and cars. Goetz gives the citizens to remove the vehicles within an hour or his mercenaries will shoot their way through. The townspeople decide that the only way to defend themselves from the threat of Ravenwood is to blow up the bridge . . . with the exception of Eric, who fears that its destruction will cut off those citizens who live on the far side - including the inhabitants at the Richmond farm. Meanwhile, both Emily Sullivan and Heather Lisinksi decide to deal with the stress of Mayor Green's illness with a walk and a few drinks at Mary Bailey's tavern. The two women meet Jericho's newest citizen, Dr. Kenchy Dhuwalia, whom Jake and Eric had rescued from Ravenwood. The two women spend their time drinking with Kenchy and listening to his horror stories about the road and Rogue River. And when Emily realizes that this day would have marked her wedding to her missing fiancé Roger Hammond, she begins to image what would have happened if he had never left Jericho. I was surprised that the showrunners would immediately follow up from what happened in Rogue River. I figured they would wait for another episode or two before dealing with the aftermath of Jake and Eric's road trip. But it did not matter. "Crossroads" proved to be an interesting episode filled with tension, suspense and a little action. To be honest, most of the action occurred in a scene that featured the first confrontation between Jericho's citizens and the Ravenwood mercenaries. A few shots exchanged resulted in the death of a Ravenwood mercenary. Ironically, this only led Goetz to keep his cool and threaten the townspeople with more violence if they do not cooperate. But I got the feeling that "Crossroads" was basically a character study of three people - Jake, Eric and Emily. Did this bother me? No. But it left me feeling slightly deflated after the high level tensions of "Rogue River". When I first saw this episode, I was surprised to see Jake and Eric at odds over whether to blow up the bridge. Even more surprising was that both Jake and Gray agreed that the bridge should be destroyed, while Eric opposed the suggestion. I found this surprising because Jake and Gray rarely agreed on anything. Also, Eric has always been the only member of the Green family that Gray genuinely liked. But the most surprising aspect of this conflict is that for once, Eric proved to be right. And he settled the matter in a way that not only surprised Jake, Gray and Jericho's other citizens, but also Goetz. More importantly, "Crossroads" drove the series' main narrative forward. Like "Rogue River", it did not focus on the town's efforts to deal with the latest survival crisis. Instead, it pushed forward storylines that will prove to have a major impact later in the series. Near the end of the episode, a defeated John Goetz promised Jake that sooner or later, some kind of order will be restored. And when that happened, he would be back to cause more trouble for Jericho's citizens. Sure enough, he kept his promise in Season Two. But more surprising, the Jericho/Ravenwood conflict will have consequences that will take the town's citizens by surprise . . . later in Season One. The subplot regarding Emily had originally struck me as nothing more than an episode filler. Watching her imagine how her wedding to Roger Hammond would have panned out did not strike me as particularly thrilling . . . or interesting. But after a re-watch of this episode, I realized that this subplot was really a foreshadow of Emily's future with both Jake and Roger. In fact, this "triangle" will prove to have a strong impact in Season One's second half. But what I really found interesting about Emily's visions is that she was finally able to face the fact that she was still in love with Jake. I am certain that many Jake/Heather shippers were upset with this revelation. I was not. As I have stated in an article for a previous episode, Jake and Heather had always seem more like siblings to me, instead of potential lovers. I could not find a performance out of step in "Crossroads". Everyone did their job. The episode featured competent performances from Lennie James, Michael Gaston, Darby Stanchfield, Sprague Grayden, Pamela Reed, Alicia Coppola, Shoshannah Stern and Gerald McRaney. There were a few that stood out above the other performances. I thought Skeet Ulrich did an excellent job in conveying both Jake Green's bull-by-the-horn approach to any crisis and the fear that nearly had him shaking during his second confrontation with Goetz. Kenneth Mitchell was exceptional as a determined Eric Green, who is certain that Jake's decision to blow up the bridge was wrong. I was also impressed by Brad Beyer, who did a great job in portraying Stanley Richmond's determination not to abandon his farm even in the face of the threat from Ravenwood. Ashley Scott did an excellent and subtle job in conveying Emily's growing realization that she was still in love with Jake. I also enjoyed Aasif Mandvi's performance as Dr. Kenchy Dhuwalia. I thought he was very skillful in conveying his character's drunken charm, while conveying a sense of horror to Emily and Heather of his experiences in Las Vegas and Rogue River. I also have to commend that once again, D.B. Sweeney managed to knock it out of the ballpark in his portrayal of the Ravenwood leader, John Goetz. I realize that many might find this hard to believe, but what really impressed me about Sweeney's portrayal of Goetz was the skillful manner in which he conveyed the character's cool. Goetz was a cold-blooded, ruthless and violent man. But he knew how to keep his cool. And Sweeney managed to convey all of these aspects of Goetz's character with great skill. What else can I say about "Crossroads"? Although not as action-oriented as I had originally assumed it would be, the episode still proved to be a first-rate study of some of the leading characters. Thanks to screenwriter Robert Levine, "Crossroads" did an excellent job of driving the show's main narrative forward.

Robert “Bob” Dixon Davenport, formerly of Wilkes-Barre, PA passed away on Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at the Riverside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Taylor, PA.
Robert Loved his siblings, extended family, friends, music, playing the guitar, and singing. His easy smile, dark hair, blue eyes, ability to rembember a new friend’s name and positive outlook on life set him apart.
Bob was preceded in death by his wife of 25 years, Diane Griglock. He was also preceded in death by his parents Ella May (Baird) Davenport and Harry and Ellen (stepmother) Davenport.
He is survived by his brothers and sisters; Harold (Mary Susan) Davenport (Kingston, PA); Michael Davenport (Montrose, PA); Stephen (Heather) Davenport (Orange, PA); Ella May Davenport (Hazelton, PA); James (Alexandra) Davenport (Bear Creek, PA); Sarah (Paul) Rubel (Arlington, MA); Andrew Davenport (Denver, CO) and their families. Bob is also survived by scores of cousins, and several nieces and nephews.
Robert was born in November 20th, 1952, Bob was raised in Plymouth, PA and graduated from Wyoming Valley West High School where he was involved in the drama club. Bob furthered his studies and graduated from Keystone Junior College where he was an active volunteer serving as president of the Circle of K.
Over the years Bob worked in a variety of fields. He was employed as a welder for Royer Foundry in Kingston, PA and Foster Wheeler in Mountain Top. In later years he worked with his brothers-in-law as a painter.
Bob always looked forward to getting together with his family for holidays, picnics, and Thanksgiving football games. He was never at a loss for a kind word.
His kind spirit was evidenced by his compassion for others (especially those in need), his willingness to forgive, and optimistic outlook on life. He always enjoyed a visit, going out to lunch, a fun story, and the company of others. Loved by many. Bob will be missed.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11 AM on Monday, September 27th at Church of Christ Uniting, 190 S. Sprague Ave., Kingston.
