Ground loop buzz isolators are a necessary expense when dealing with shitty analog audio runs. They do, however, tend to increase the complexity of your wiring setup. This little stereo pictured here -- about $5 at a yardsale -- was the downstairs stereo after my $1000-in-1997 stereo died, but before the Freecycle Onkyo stereo (recently photographed and uploaded) was set up. It was so non-descript -- hidden under a nesting table -- that guests once had to sleep in a room of loud music because they couldn't find the stereo to turn it down. (Sorry, 8's!! Last-minute sleeping arrangements don't always work with a drunken host and a passed-out hostess, hehe.)

Soil as I’ve never thought of it before. The complexity of it and interconnectedness of it. Here lies the science behind biodynamic farming, the homeopathy of it developed by Rudolph Steiner (yes of the Waldorf schools). Published in 1989 the techniques described here are so far from our industrial chemical farming that it is clear they’ve been actively suppressed. No surprise there. Relates how the father of chemical agriculture, a chemist decided that plants survived on only 3 chemical nitrogen, phosphorus and potash the NPK chemical additives. Having completely ignored the role of humus it took another ten years for this scientist to realize he was wrong, but too late; much money was already being made on the chemicals and the destruction of soil and subsequently soil health, food quality and human health was well underway. All due to the compartmentalization of knowledge.
At much the same time a British colonel stationed in India, Sir Albert Howard rediscovered the value of humus as used in India and along with Lady Eve Balfour started the organic movement in England which was then picked up by J. I. Rodale in the States. Still to no avail as we know. But at least discoveries continued and organic farming maintained a toehold.
Written as a series of visits to leaders in the field and their farms to discover how biodynamic theories are put into action the book fleshes out the science of each visit and how it relates to create a whole that is astonishing in its breadth.
Fresh cow manure stuffed into desiccated cow horns buried for a year creates a humus so potent that a fourth of a cup stirred into 3 gallons of rainwater would revitalize an entire acre. Much method in the stirring of this homeopathic preparation 500. The first of 7 such esoteric mixtures. The stirring invoking energies of the cosmos to enter into it as well as the intentions of the stirrer. A vortex is created in one direction then reversed to elicit chaos. For an hour this brew must be stirred. Then it is sprayed onto the field.
Moonshine and particular calendar days relating to constellations also play a part in when potions are applied and seeds started, cows are bred etc. The “biodynamic calendar of sowing” nailing down all these auspicious days.
Others carried on Steiner’s work creating compost on a city wide scale in San Francisco. The better to enliven the microbiota in the soil. Australia was the first to put into practice on a broader basis the application of Steiner’s preparations due to a documentary shown on TV highlighting impressive results to the fertility of the land. Rotation of crops also played a part.
A chapter on the Hunza and Hunzakuts known for their health and longevity serves to demonstrate how those who live an entirely sustainable organic lifestyle are free from disease living a robust and healthy life long into old age. The secret of their health—powdered glacial rock containing all the minerals required by plants. It was also in the water, the vortex of its movement that provided clues to the colloidal chemistry that were the sources of life. The study of chelation by Albert Schatz in turn reveals how soil humus extracts minerals. Chelating acids are created by bacteria in the soil and this is how plants can take up the minerals. Such discovery was of no interest to the U.S. agricultural industry and it was in an Indian publication that his work was published.
We are also introduced to a Dan Carlson who discovered that certain forms of music — jazz or Ravi Shankar — prompted growth in plants at four times the normal rate while hard rock killed them. But his fast growing vine not being edible was of no monetary interest so he entered it into the Guiness Book of Records. He was also able to influence the plants characteristics by informing them they no longer needed thorns or meditating on what color he wanted the blooms. Other such botanical feats of growth also described.
The work of Wes Jackson focuses on the effects of weeds used as companion plants on crops. How weeds improve the soil loosening it and adding humus for the benefit of the crops while also providing mulch services to protect from drought.
Dust i.e. azomite. Works like fertilizer. Plant discoveries continue to slay long held assumptions. This one pertaining to how plants can ingest much larger particles than originally thought.
A curious chapter describes how a man from India is touring the U.S. demonstrating that the atmosphere can be purified by creating a little fire to burn cow dung, Basamati rice, ghee and a pinch of sandalwood inside an inverted copper ziggurat shaped bowl. Found to neutralize radiation and other pollutants. Those present feel the air becoming fresh again. The smoke gathers the molecules and neutralizes them.
Even stranger was a method described to get rid of mice and other pests prescribed by Steiner. The method requires that a mouse be skinned and the skin burned. Then the ashes peppered over the field where the mice are not wanted. Done when Venus is in the sign of Scorpio. The same for getting rid of insects. Their sensitive antennas pick up the infrared bands. The effects of the treatment is described as a counter force to the life force of the insect that prompts it to vacate. Observation speculates that the insects communicate and react to different prisms of light.
Monks meditating in stone towers collect cosmic paramagnetic energy and focus it onto their fields to increase paramagnetic waves in the soil as theorized by Professor Philip S. Callahan. The plants grow bigger for it. A farmer and a business man partnered to try out this method to good effect with 17 towers placed around their fields.
A woman Machaelle Wright of Perlandra gets in touch with Deva spirits just by going in the field and declaring her intention out loud asking the deva how to rebalance a plant that is beset by aphids and such or brokering deals with pests that they can eat the cabbage at the ends of rows.
The final chapter introduces us to a Russian energy worker with telekinetic powers, Alla Kudryashova, who is able to imbue water with healing properties that can also be applied to agriculture and livestock. Studies were done demonstrating her considerable impact on the growth of broiler chickens, wheat and beets. She was also able to fix delicate machinery prompting those studying her to wonder if the spiritual dimension existed not just in live material, but in a dimension of its own. Shamans would say she was using direct revelation to harness this power.
These last two women parallel Steiner’s spiritual dimension in his work involving intention.
By the end of the book I was convinced that biodynamic farming was the optimum way to collaborate with the intelligence of plants, soil and the planet. We have truly underestimated this intelligence in our arrogance to improve on creation much as we have the intelligence of the body and the connection to spirit. Written in 1989, plenty of time for people to have further studied what was introduced here.
"La complessità non è la complicazione. Ciò che è complicato può essere ridotto a un principio semplice e se la situazione fosse solo complicata, cioè intricata e multidipendente, forse sarebbe sufficiente effettuare delle riduzioni ( atomi-particelle, fonemi del linguaggio, basi del codice genetico ecc.). Questo approccio però purtroppo non spiega nulla anche se spesso pretende di spiegare tutto. Il problema vero è che è inutile cercare di convertire ciò che è complicato in regole con una base semplice, ma si tratta invece di accettare il fatto che alla base di tutto c'è la complessità"
A CALL TO ACTION TO BUILD BELOVED COMMUNITY
SOUTHERNERS ON NEW GROUND & ALTERNATE ROOTS
CHARLESTON MARKET HALL
Charleston, SC
MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 2013
Today, as we commemorate freedom fighter Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and as President Barack Obama is inaugurated for his second term, we gather on contested ground to promote Dr. King’s vision of Beloved Community. We gather because the current symbolism of Charleston is rooted in its history as a pro-slavery Port City and it does not reflect our histories, our struggles, or our resistances. We gather because the face of Charleston should show the diversity and complexity of our lives and histories. We do not glorify the bloodshed, violence and horror of chattel slavery that built this city. We recognize this history as people of color, and as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, and we know that we have a shared stake in transforming this city. We gather today because, in this time of great peril and great possibility, we believe in redemption!
We call on all Southern people to build King’s vision of Beloved Community! We must undergo a transformation of our collective values in order to end what King called “the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism”. We need a revolution of our values that spans in scale from the conversations we have with our kids over breakfast to the way whole communities relate internationally. To do this, we must weave a strong new social fabric between us. We call on our communities, locally, nationally, and globally, to step boldly over the lines of race, gender, class, religion, and sexuality that isolate us from one another. We call on you, our sisters and brothers in struggle, to meet each other as neighbors and friends, to collaborate to make King’s dream of Beloved Community come true.
We dream, too. We dream of an end to racism, an end to poverty, an end to military terror. We dream of queer liberation, of community gardens that grow where prisons and detention centers have closed. We dream of safety for all children, we dream of a place where every person is able to achieve their full humanity. We know that these dreams are not impossible or idealistic, but absolutely necessary if we are all to survive and thrive. In the word’s of Fannie Lou Hamer, “Nobody’s free ‘til everybody’s free!”
It is with increasing urgency that we gather today to make visible our renewed commitment to Southern Freedom Movement, the same movement that swept the South in the 60’s and broke the back of Jim Crow. On this day, hundreds of other organizations and communities are gathering in their home towns, sharing their dreams for their lives and the lives of their children. We stand in solidarity with people all over the South who are organizing to solve problems in their communities, who are resisting poverty, resisting racism, resisting obliteration of our lives and our cultures. We will not be erased! We are your neighbors, your family members and friends; we are your teachers, your grandmothers, we are people of faith; and we are queers, we are sex workers, we are youth in the streets, we are undocumented and unafraid! We will leave no one in our Beloved Communities behind!
We stand in solidarity with People’s First 100 Days Actions today in Jacksonville, FL; San Antonio, TX; Atlanta, GA; Durham and Greensboro, NC; Dothan, AL; Knoxville, TN; Houston, TX; Asheville, NC; Tunica, MS Little Rock, AR; and all other cities and towns where Southern Freedom Movement is rising to the call of a new day. And, because we know that Southern people are not alone in this struggle, we stand in solidarity with oppressed people everywhere. In a time of charismatic leaders, we decide instead to look to ourselves, because we are the leaders we have been waiting for. Together, we will rise and transform the South’s legacy of division, fear and hate into a New South, a Beloved Community that we can ALL be proud of. In the words of Dr. King, “We shall overcome, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

Photos were taken at the exhibition of medieval Far East arts and crafts, held in Kharkov city, Ukraine, in December 2004. The exhibition was organized by a local "Sicilian Clan" - naturally, of Sicily in the spirit, not by nationality - in an attempt to attract voters before the election. It was a collective exhibition of private Kharkov city collectors. Masterpieces of Japanese and Chinese art of ivory carving were exposed: netsuke, cult objects (sculptures of gods for the home pantheon), as well as secular art objects - including a humorous character. Highest artistic level, skill and monstrous complexity of products literally shocking the viewer. Most of the items have been cut from a solid elephant tusks - and only a few were assembled from ivory and mahogany pieces.
Naturally, today's sales price of such artifacts corresponds to the artistic level. A little old Japanese sculpture worth as much as a modern Japanese business class car.
Another part of the exibition were artifacts of medieval Japan arme blanche — Samurai swords, darts, etc.
Personally, I was particularly impressed with the household humorous skits - a "cartoon" carved out of ivory with great skill and talent. Especially these artifacts, free of all the canons and conventions are showing the great soul of the people. The range of cultures interpenetration is truly impressive: there is about half of the globe circumference from Japan to Kharkov city.
The exhibition was free, with free photography - to the great delight of photographers and art connoisseurs. Perhaps it is the only benefit that ordinary kharkovites have received from Western-style democracy during last 20 years.
Unfortunately, only a small part of the exhibition has been photographed - circa 1 / 10. In view of the outbreak of political confrontation, being in fears for artifacts' safety, the exhibition was prematurely curtailed - and not repeated more on a such scale.
Currently it is a real disaster with art in Ukraine. Because of corruption and theft of senior officials Ukraine is losing almost all it national wealth. Just recently there was a high-sounding scandal dealt with the so-called "Scythian gold." There are the golden artifacts of Scythian burial mounds near the town of Kerch. They were considered a national treasure being kept in the State Museum. Then, by a 'strange way', they became privately owned. And even more "strangely" they appeared in USA. And now, a few days ago, USA officials declared that the collection will not return to Ukraine forever.
Even louder was a scandal a few years ago. Then it became clear that high officials of the Security Service - Ukrainian analogue of the KGB or the FBI - are engaged in theft of art objects. Security authorities took from provincial art museums so highly valued now pictures of Soviet artists, in the style of socialist realism - ostensibly to decorate their offices. Few years later they returned to museums ... absolutely fresh but pathetic copies of the original paints, written by mediocre artists. Naturally, none of the officers was punished.
Camera - Soviet Zenit-3M SLR camera, manufactured in 1960 with Agfa film ISO 100. Notice the nice bokeh, which is given by this obsolete camera - and which is completely unattainable for modern short-focus digital cameras.
Снимки сделаны на выставке средневекового декоративно-прикладного искусства Дальнего Востока, организованной в Харькове в декабре 2004. Выставка была организована одним местным “Сицилийским кланом” - естественно, сицилийским по духу, а не по национальности — в попытке привлечь голоса избирателей перед выборами. Это была коллективная выставка предметов из частных собраний харьковских коллекционеров. Были выставлены шедевры японского и китайского искусства резьбы по слоновой кости: нэцке, предметы культа (скульптурные изображения богов для домашнего пантеона), а также светские предметы искусства — в том числе юмористического характера. Высочайший художественный уровень, мастерство и чудовищная трудоемкость изделий буквально потрясают зрителя. Большинство экспонатов вырезаны из цельного слоновьего бивня — и лишь несколько являются собранными из кусков слоновой кости и красного дерева.
Естественно, коммерческая цена таких артефактов соответсвует их художественному уровню. Маленькая старинная японская скульптура стоит столько же, сколько современный японский автомобиль высшего класса.
Лично меня особенно впечатлили бытовые юмористические сценки — своего рода “шаржи” вырезанные из слоновой кости с величайшим мастерством и талантом. Именно в таких вот, свободных от всяких канонов и условностей произведениях искусства и проявляется великая душа народа. Впечатляет также дальность взаимопроникновения культур: от Японии до Харькова — примерно половина окружности Земного шара.
Выставка была бесплатной, фотографирование свободным — к великой радости фотографов и ценителей искусства. Пожалуй, это единственная польза, которую рядовые харьковчане получили от демократии западного образца за последние 20 лет.
К сожалению, удалось заснять лишь незначительную часть экспозиции — примерно 1/10. Ввиду начавшейся политической конфронтации, из-за опасений за сохранность экспозиции, выставка была преждевременно свернута — и больше в таком масштабе не повторялась. В настоящее время на Украине произошла подлинная катастрофа с искусством. Из-за коррумпированности и воровства высших должностных лиц Украина теряет практически все свое национальное достояние. Буквально недавно произошел очередной громкий скандал с так называемым “Скифским золотом”. Это — золотые артефакты из скифских курганов в районе города Керчь. Они считались национальным достоянием и хранились в государственном музее. Затем, “странным образом”, они оказались в частном владении. И еще более “странным путем” попали в США. И вот, буквально несколько дней назад США заявили, что коллекцию Украине не вернут — и вообще не собираются.
Еще более громким был скандал пару лет назад. Когда выяснилось, что высокие должностные лица Службы Безопасности — украинский аналог КГБ или ФБР — сами занимались кражей предметов искусства. Они забирали из провинциальных художественных музеев столь высоко ценимые сейчас картины советских художников, в стиле социалистического реализма — якобы для украшения своих офисов. А через несколько лет возвращали в музеи... абсолютно свежие но жалкие копии тех картин, написанные посредственными художниками. Естественно, никто из тех должностных лиц не был наказан.
Фотоаппарат — советский Зенит-3М, 1960 года выпуска, пленка — Агфа ИСО 100. Обратите внимание на приятное боке, которое дает эта старая камера — и что совершенно недостижимо для современной корткофокусной цифровой техники.
Complexity simplified. Selection Complex. Framed within yet all is within a frame. Frame of colour or framed in capture. Captured by the complexity of ones mind or the confusion of existence.

Technologists started wrangling with complexity before anyone else. The wave of complexity, change and coevolution that is now cresting across the business world first appeared in the technology realm, as computer scientists wrestled with complex software design problems and struggled to interconnect multiple systems into large-scale “systems of systems.”
Two particular approaches that developed since the 1950s have allowed technologists to create citylike software systems that function like complex adaptive systems, where the elements of the system can learn, adapt and coevolve like a biological community. One is an approach to work, called agile software development, and the other is a structural design approach called service orientation. Both of these approaches emphasize continuous learning, adaptation, and distributed control, rather than planning, prediction and central control. They are specifically designed for managing work and services in fast-changing, complex, uncertain environments.
MODERN FAMILY - Today's American families come in all shapes and sizes. The cookie cutter mold of man + wife + 2.5 kids is a thing of the past, as it becomes quickly apparent in the bird's eye view of ABC's new half-hour comedy, "Modern Family," which takes an honest and often hilarious look at the composition and complexity of family life in 2009. "Modern Family" stars Ed O'Neill as Jay, Julie Bowen as Claire, Ty Burrell as Phil, Sofía Vergara as Gloria, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell, Eric Stonestreet as Cameron, Sarah Hyland as Haley, Nolan Gould as Luke, Ariel Winter as Alex and Rico Rodriguez as Manny.

This is a bit like my life at the moment: lots of different strands intertwined, not clear where one starts and another ends - but it is holding together for now!
“Meu caminho é cada manhã
Não procure saber onde vou
Meu destino não é de ninguém
Eu não deixo os meus passos no chão
Se você não entende, não vê
Se não me vê, não entende
Não procure saber onde estou
Se o meu jeito te surpreende
Se o meu corpo virasse sol
Minha mente virasse sol
Mas, só chove e chove,ou
Mas, só chove e chove, chove
Se um dia eu pudesse ver
Meu passado inteiro
E fizesse parar de chover
Nos primeiros erros
O meu corpo viraria sol
Minha mente viraria
Mas, só chove e chove
Mas, só chove e chove”

A Norman chapel stands on the steep hillside above Chadlington. On a cold day in March the wind drives snow across the churchyard and rattles resilient patches of snowdrops. How many snows has this simple building seen, how many travellers have sought shelter from a howling storm, having climbed the steep hill from the River Evenlode below. Standing among the yew trees, on the bone-rich ground, the view from the churchyard is ancient, little altered by the passing years. At the end of a narrow lane All Saints has a few cottages for company, it is hard to tell whether these humble buildings are survivors of a larger village or have always stood isolated among the fields. It is easier to imagine the numberless generations of locals summoned here by bells to celebrate the passing ceremonies of Christian calendar.
The exterior of All Saints is austere, a simple two-cell Norman chapel extended to the south in the 15th century with a Georgian east window added during a major early restoration. The church consists of nave, chancel, an east belfry and 19th century south porch although outer and inner doors appear much earlier in date. Step inside and you are confronted by the Middle Ages in all it's symbolic complexity and the belief that the intervention of saints can influence our daily lives. A palimpsest, medieval saints overwritten with later biblical texts cover large areas of the nave walls, giving a faded impression of the elaborate decorative schemes that were common to all our pre-Reformation churches. A round-headed lancet survives in the north wall of the nave. The small 13th century chancel arch of two pointed chamfered orders is off-centre due to the nave being extended to the south. The south wall has two Perpendicular windows, a doorway and a piscina to the east, all of a similar date. A large squint to the south of the chancel arch connects nave and sanctuary. The west wall of the nave has a Tudor window and a blocked Georgian opening which may once have been one main doors of the church. An atmosphere of antiquity is emphasised by the 18th century pulpit, reading desk and box pews which tower over the east end of the nave. Opposite the door is a Norman tub font which has seen over 900 years of service. If you look through the Georgian east window of the chancel the tower of Spelsbury church can be seen in the distance, the chancel was rebuilt in the 18th century re-using a Decorated window in the south wall.
The real rarity of All Saints is the fortunate survival of several passages of medieval decoration preserved from destruction under a layer of whitewash. The earliest decoration surviving surrounds the 13th century round-headed north nave window, red lines mimic the pattern of stonework and small red floral motifs have been added to the window splay.
To the left of the blocked north door is a representation of St Frideswide, an 8th century princess who became a nun, choosing the church over a royal suitor, who was blinded when he attempted to force her into marriage. She became patron saint of Oxford and although her shrine was destroyed in the Reformation she is believed to be buried in Christ Church, Oxford.
To the right of the door is the figure of an archbishop, which might be St Edmund of Abingdon or a rare survival of an image of St Thomas a Becket, a particular target for iconoclasts due to his defiance of royal authority. The image shows the archbishop teaching a child to read.
To the west of the round-headed window is a fragmentary 14th century priest thought to be a depiction of St Leonard, patron saint of Eynsham Abbey, who owned the patronage of Shorthampton.
Over the chancel arch the remains of a Doom have been obscured by a Royal Coat of Arms. The Last Judgement, with the just ascending to heaven while sinners are thrown into the mouth of hell, is a common subject for the chancel arch, after the Reformation every church had to display the Royal Arms.
The squint was inserted in the 15th century to enable those in the widened southern portion of the nave to be able to witness the elevation of the host, during the celebration of the Mass. "The Legend of the Clay Birds" is depicted inside the squint, the Virgin Mary holds the Christ child and St John, although St.John might be holding a Goldfinch. The legend derives from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of St Thomas which describes the Christ child making clay birds which he then brings to life.
To the right of this is "the Agony in the Garden" but there are two layers of paint which makes the imagery difficult to read.
The left reveal of the easterly south window of the nave has a small mid-15th century figure in an elaborate green dress. This is St Sitha, also known as Zita of Lucca, the patron saint of maids and domestic servants, often depicted holding a set of keys and said to help supplicants in finding items they have lost.
Between this window and the south door is a panel which shows St Loy or the "Legend of St Eligius", patron saint of blacksmiths and metalworkers, depicted shoeing a horse. A 7th century goldsmith famous for the building of churches.
Biblical texts replaced images of saints in the reign of Eward VI who ordered their destruction in 1548. The Creed appears on a large panel over the door and the west wall has a cartouche containing King Solomon's prayer. Also on the west wall is a disembodied wing probably the remains of "George and the Dragon" though possibly the Archangel Michael. There are also many small fragments of wall painting including foliate decoration round the chancel arch.
All in all a wonderful voyage through time. Shorthampton is a few miles from Chipping Norton about 40 minutes from Stratford-upon-Avon
Camarillo, California. My car needed to get smog-checked, so I moved my morning walk to nearby industrial park. A very windy day.
