I am not on here for the negatives I am on here for the postives - I don't believe that there should be the negatives which do take place I would rather enjoy the time with those of which are of that with no malice. It's my own blog and one of which I can write and relate to those of which I know or understand by way of a blog. If it's negative and otherwise I look the other way. That is my declaration as of the first of October.
Say you Say.....hmm - I'm not sure on this One
Sometimes I feel like I am in a Monty Python era. The did have something going there within the manner of which they looked at things they took what was within the news and placed it into satire. We don't see much of the like of that but from tweets which say, "I am going to bed now", or better yet, "I luv you all huggers" or even better those which say, "yes" to everything you know it's an art or reciprocation for the numbers. The Python group had a thing going with was introspective as well as looked at the world from and over view.
There are plenty of cozed people that thrive within social networks. Yet then there are ones which are head strong - I don't know where the word came from but leave out the politics and they have this head strong mentality of my way or no way. How many ways can you speak about other nations?
I kinda think that we regard the soils of that of which we live and if there are borders well that would make a nice song. Borders it literally could be something of worth. Yet there are those which do write they don't need to tweet due to the fact that they don't nor have the time to write something other than that which is passed on. Yes good old Multiply the haven where it's that 50/50 of which there are those which CAN express within their own manner and some which pass notes.
But we have come within the very last day of September. What have you done? Are we a society within a blog that has borders that we seemingly write about with those third world countries which are grudging along with animosity?
For myself I know with the exception to a group and a few from other countries that does not have the mentality of five year olds. I look for the star and I enjoy the journey and excursions of those whom can write without the need nor malice. But life is not a blog yet there are some - that 50% do it well and within a narcissistic era of time enjoy.
But hey it's just me and I am one not one that needs many nor plenty. As the composition is a trend of self indulgence. I thought that when we GROWED UP that we had our own foundations of what we were and whom we were. Maybe I am way out there.
Yet where is there?
~ Friday is Alright ~
The weekend is here and the weather has been fine. What have I learned now on Multiply upon opening it.
- There are some that will do there up most to see you fall - it's absurd.
- There are some that just make a post to render numbers rather than cohesive thoughts. That's a blunder
- There are some which preach as if they are the Buddhist which came alive online - yet I don't really feel the presence.
- There are some which are just themselves and no more.
- There are some which are politically inclined - I don't mind.
- There are some which right from the depths of their own manner as they choose.
- The good ones which I like are those which don't push it rather they just write. And those writes are great.
- I enjoy those which can collaborate if the ego it so mighty high well I guess that may very well be how life is.
- When this starts to resemble a place within a hospital where one is patting you on the hand and saying yes it's all going to be alright - don't blog it get some help.
Yet it's the weekend and within my sphere all is superb. Not perfect but as good as can be.
Now I know why so many have went another path. Grudges are held by those that need to fullfill something - what that is is beyond me but I enjoy the time and space and frankly you would think that those whom call you a friend is other than that. Yet perhaps there is something I am missing. There are some that have there own sphere of people and then there is that power of association. Boy we have come along ways haven't we? The relevance is to have fun Carolo, Heido, and those of the likes.
I myself enjoy it and you have to ask yourself why not?
Favs of September

The are my favorite pictures within September as
the month now is near to an end and it's been a month
which climate and otherwise has been to the desire
of which I love.
I joked with a few people as I said, "didn't you know
this is going to last till January and then warm up?".
They all had that grin on their face.
It's been a month that not only within picture but
within life as September within a good manner has
come to be much more like two months within one.
I kinda like that.

I Do Believe
I have to pinch myself as all in all I have obtained a goal. Who would have ever thought it would start of by way of a voice within a studio? As of tomorrow I believe I am going to take on something which I have given good thought too. After the meetings I had to just roam around as I didnt wish to be idle.
Within a world of so many things ther are the good things within life of which I never would have thought would come back again. Yet they have and for all those which are friends if this does go the path and direction in which most probably shall I sincerely do wish everyone the best I don't nor ever thrived on other's coat tails on blogs and I have always kept the thought of being positive.
When things are down and out there is always a way. I can attest to that as since six months ago when I nearly had a mini stroke I have gotten to where I am only due to those of which I am in contact with as friends near and abroad - the old fashioned way as well as here within a blog.
So there is something to be said in just doing it. I do believe.
Sincerely,
Jack
* there have been a few friends on here which have been there and I do wish to say I thank you in advance of something which I know is already 99%.
Nearly Done
Pinch me as I have. As of tomorrow what came by way of just nothing came about something. And I have achieved a goal of which I never thought I would in the short run and long run.
I am as happy as ..........words can not describe it to be honest but something good is happening my way and I am more pleased than one could surmise.

My Apologies for the Length of this write...
I do wish to write a few things on here and when you get on here later within the eve it’s rather harder get to everyone as I do enjoy reading the writes of friends. Yet this is my story of today.
I meet with the owner of this recording studio at his head office. We discussed several things as Sandy is the one whom pretty much handles all recording matters – as well Sandy has much more experience within audio and visuals. I sat down within the office of the own of this corporation. We discussed several things. He knew from Sandy pretty much everything about me and his feeling was to carry on. Not only that but I mentioned to him as to how much of the market he is not obtaining internationally.
He built the recording studio some four years ago and with the idea of not just recording musicians within the realm of rock or pop, but within other areas – yet they have never been 100 % booked up. He asked me to carry on with what I saw of the studio as well as where the studio could be. With all the state of the art capital which is within this place I believe that as like other businesses here – he could with ease be recording other areas aside of music. There is a market for this and taking all into account there is so many avenues aside of what my intentions are. I see a place, which is literally one, which could do much more from the musical end. We discussed this in length and as Sandy, the recording manager, was out of town for the day. An offer was mentioned which would need to be on paper yet he wished to involve Sandy and meet again tomorrow. Sandy was out of town and that struck a good chord, as I then knew I that I was talking to a very solid minded leader & owner. That illustrated to me that I was not just speaking with a good leader/owner, but one whom renders a long-standing team. This all came after we talked and then he seemingly saw that I was speaking of what he had envisioned when he built the recording studio. Now I have changed the goals I guess – yet I am going to record. That shall take some time however I have been offered something, as the place has never had a marketing manager. This I didn’t expect but pending how this next meeting goes I think I may very well take it as I have been offered an office, computers, gadgets galore and there is much to be detailed – yet I believe within this week I shall take it. The entire team along with this owner are very down to earth as well have a tremendous grasp on several areas but the means of obtaining them have never been considered till today’s meeting.
Paul has his secondary office and visual arts studio. I wish I would have taken my camera but that can come later. Paul’s visual art studio leans more towards affluent people whom will fly in and purchase a visual concept geared tied in with architects. I within our meeting that if the visual studio renders a robust clientele locally as well as internationally - why couldn’t the sound studio be as productive and within the same means and way. The recording studio can be marketed within a classy manner yet effective one where symphonies, outsourced radio stations, and musicians of all kinds could be obtained with not that much of an effort. Right now the website is being updated – but as well I don’t see why with the experienced team which Paul has – there is no reason within this day and age he could not have the studio booked with more than just local people or bands.
The idea of what I had with a one time revival of my old band is not out of the question but there is no way I could bring this all together. The suggestion is that it can happen but don’t base it on a definite date. Rather what I shall do is with some help do my own recordings and along with that over this week – or for that matter within two days I think after one more round of talks I shall be apart of this team.

The Trail of Discovery
The Trail of Discovery
View the path
All straight and crooked
A hidden energy seemingly pulling
At a speed just barely visible
Yet vast within the array
Discover the air about
Fluidly as it all blends
Against a soothing surface
Find the tangle of small willows
With leaning reflections
And there too the stones
Ahead on the bank
Slight movements
Gently mirror the way
With colors of vastness
All within an array
Fulfillment flourishes
Within the the glides of green
Where water meets air
Within the climate of the calm
See the swallows
Skimming along the water's surface
Twisting their narrow wings as they rise
Without a thought nor surprise
Encompassed with robust depths
From within and beyond
Within the find of oneness
All encompassed without reprise
For there lays the foundation
Within the trail of discovery
All encompassed
These Souls of Splendor

Goals more than Often
Produce something...Today was one of those days where it's just works at a time where your not sure if a plan may work or not. I was reading to give up with the this recording studio and all that is entailed with it. It was coming to that stage where you make a choice as to where things go. While at the studio I thought on the practical side of things and yes dreams can come true but I have always maintained never to throw all the eggs in one basket. After a few days away and taking all into consideration I decided to go along with my own plans as it's hard to bring about what I was hoping for earlier as I had mentioned within one of my previous blogs. Something happened rather great. This Sandy put me on the phone to the owner of this studio and tomorrow I meet with him. I have never met the owner of this recording studio yet after speaking with him he invited me to meet with him at the main office which is near the airport here.
I am not sure where this will lead but what I do know is that this is something good. There is no doubt that meeting with David Puls shall be some sort of surprise. I have had those doubtful feelings then coupled with good ones. With this situation it's much like many of the things of which I have done before. I have started with a small idea and then it brings about something good. I know what I wish to do yet I have had enough good opinions from some friends that it seems that it's a trickle up rather than a trickle downwards as within the original plan - it was beyond just one doing it all and I don't think just one person could pull it all together. Yet something is within the wind and I do look forward to tomorrow.
What I have learned is that when you have one idea you might not reach the exact destination of that idea but it flows into another. Tomorrow we shall see where this leads as it all started ironically in meeting the production manager of Maroon 5.I placed off my oral surgery of which was supposed to be today. It can wait with all matters that are at concern. I don't think it's putting things off - rather it's just juggling things around in order to get a few things done which I do wish to do. What comes about tomorrow I have no clue, yet it's something which I do look forward with.
I do thank those which are on this blog as friends as the support with this has been plenty and if you would have asked me one month ago if I would be doing this. I honestly would have to say I don't think so. I am not a dreamer nor am I the kid which did have a band years ago - but who's to say what can or cannot be done.
Sandy of Pulsworks Recording Studio.avi

A quick capture taken as Sandy, the recording manager of this studio as
well as the engineer had a tour from a performing arts class of students.
Thereafter, there was talk with regards to the different directions in which
this recording studio is and shall go forth.
Sandy does talk fast yet he is a very wise man to say the least and while
I was within studio - I thought I would take a clip for the fun of it. I meet
with an rather important person tomorrow within the morning and now this
is just becoming very enjoyable.

Summerish September Sunday

As the day went I helped a young lady whom just graduated doing some photography - her mother was besides herself as to how to handle it all.
I thought it was a wedding but it was a celebration of Amanda's graduation.
Her mother asked me to take her camera and get some conceptual photos.
Who could say no? I couldn't and enjoyed it.
There after I went about my render as well as met with someone whom was
arriving into town and "the the sun's eyes - she opens in the mornin with
her head above her shoulders all the time. You would think they were green all the time. Yet the yellow came over within the the day's of the land.
Freedom I don't Nor Shall Believe In "Labels"
Under escort from the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, nine black students enter all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Three weeks earlier, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had surrounded the school with National Guard troops to prevent its federal court-ordered racial integration. After a tense standoff, President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent 1,000 army paratroopers to Little Rock to enforce the court order.
On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka that racial segregation in educational facilities was unconstitutional. Five days later, the Little Rock School Board issued a statement saying it would comply with the decision when the Supreme Court outlined the method and time frame in which desegregation should be implemented.
Arkansas was at the time among the more progressive Southern states in regard to racial issues. The University of Arkansas School of Law was integrated in 1949, and the Little Rock Public Library in 1951. Even before the Supreme Court ordered integration to proceed "with all deliberate speed," the Little Rock School Board in 1955 unanimously adopted a plan of integration to begin in 1957 at the high school level. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) filed suit, arguing the plan was too gradual, but a federal judge dismissed the suit, saying that the school board was acting in "utmost good faith." Meanwhile, Little Rock's public buses were desegregated. By 1957, seven out of Arkansas' eight state universities were integrated.
In the spring of 1957, there were 517 black students who lived in the Central High School district. Eighty expressed an interest in attending Central in the fall, and they were interviewed by the Little Rock School Board, which narrowed down the number of candidates to 17. Eight of those students later decided to remain at all-black Horace Mann High School, leaving the "Little Rock Nine" to forge their way into Little Rock's premier high school.
In August 1957, the newly formed Mother's League of Central High School won a temporary injunction from the county chancellor to block integration of the school, charging that it "could lead to violence." Federal District Judge Ronald Davies nullified the injunction on August 30. On September 2, Governor Orval Faubus—a staunch segregationist—called out the Arkansas National Guard to surround Central High School and prevent integration, ostensibly to prevent the bloodshed he claimed desegregation would cause. The next day, Judge Davies ordered integrated classes to begin on September 4.
That morning, 100 armed National Guard troops encircled Central High School. A mob of 400 white civilians gathered and turned ugly when the black students began to arrive, shouting racial epithets and threatening the teenagers with violence. The National Guard troops refused to let the black students pass and used their clubs to control the crowd. One of the nine, 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckford, was surrounded by the mob, which threatened to lynch her. She was finally led to safety by a sympathetic white woman.
Little Rock Mayor Woodrow Mann condemned Faubus' decision to call out the National Guard, but the governor defended his action, reiterating that he did so to prevent violence. The governor also stated that integration would occur in Little Rock when and if a majority of people chose to support it. Faubus' defiance of Judge Davies' court order was the first major test of Brown v. Board of Education and the biggest challenge of the federal government's authority over the states since the Reconstruction Era.
The standoff continued, and on September 20 Judge Davies ruled that Faubus had used the troops to prevent integration, not to preserve law and order as he claimed. Faubus had no choice but to withdraw the National Guard troops. Authority over the explosive situation was put in the hands of the Little Rock Police Department.
On September 23, as a mob of 1,000 whites milled around outside Central High School, the nine black students managed to gain access to a side door. However, the mob became unruly when it learned the black students were inside, and the police evacuated them out of fear for their safety. That evening, President Eisenhower issued a special proclamation calling for opponents of the federal court order to "cease and desist." On September 24, Little Rock's mayor sent a telegram to the president asking him to send troops to maintain order and complete the integration process. Eisenhower immediately federalized the Arkansas National Guard and approved the deployment of U.S. troops to Little Rock. That evening, from the White House, the president delivered a nationally televised address in which he explained that he had taken the action to defend the rule of law and prevent "mob rule" and "anarchy." On September 25, the Little Rock Nine entered the school under heavily armed guard.
Troops remained at Central High School throughout the school year, but still the black students were subjected to verbal and physical assaults from a faction of white students. Melba Patillo, one of the nine, had acid thrown in her eyes, and Elizabeth Eckford was pushed down a flight of stairs. The three male students in the group were subjected to more conventional beatings. Minnijean Brown was suspended after dumping a bowl of chili over the head of a taunting white student. She was later suspended for the rest of the year after continuing to fight back. The other eight students consistently turned the other cheek. On May 27, 1958, Ernest Green, the only senior in the group, became the first black to graduate from Central High School.
Governor Faubus continued to fight the school board's integration plan, and in September 1958 he ordered Little Rock's three high schools closed rather than permit integration. Many Little Rock students lost a year of education as the legal fight over desegregation continued. In 1959, a federal court struck down Faubus' school-closing law, and in August 1959 Little Rock's white high schools opened a month early with black students in attendance. All grades in Little Rock public schools were finally integrated in 1972.

A Well Rendered Day
Days like today are not that common for this time of the year. I was up early within the morning and took care of a few things which were necessary and I knew that this shall be the last weekend where we have the weather as we have mind you tomorrow again it's going to be hot. Very unlike the weather that takes place at this time of the year.
Being real or so I read this tonight. I think each person has that very right to do as they please. I don't do many pictures of myself on here. My intention never was. Yet from a morning of talking with two elderly people after doing a short run as the weather within the morning just right. There after I went about an enjoyable day of pondering around to those places with were more of a natural experience. Still to this day it's tremendous within the people that one meets. Ironically within the back of my car I had booster cables as I ran into two people which couldn't get there boat started. The last thing I thought would be requested with the temperatures as they were. Mind you when I arrived home I cleaned up around the house and thereafter found that I was rather tuckered out. The heat and keeping hydrated seemed to be the way to go. Certainly there are things of which have pros and cons to them. Yet, I do value privacy to some extent. Yet what I find for my own self is that when I am busy within the doing it's enjoyable to share. While on the river within the afternoon there were so many people all just enjoying as I was the warmth of the weather coupled with the colors which are apart of Autumn.
Sure I in the back of my mind are things of which I look forward with - especially within the area of music. Yet there are those days - especially now where I wished to head out and take pictures. After raking leaves within the late afternoon I found I was rather tired so I took an hour nap. I have had several calls pertaining to music and this recording when I arrive home but by choice I wished to just enjoy the weekend within a ease of manner.
I, myself don't even wish to think about what comes within a little time weather wise. Within the weekend I do cherish the day mind you a nap sometimes goes a good distance as well. Thus the day was that within a flow where one thing did lead to another and those of which you run into are of most interesting. The glass was more than half full of water upon the day.
Autumn Equinox

From a morning of a decent day one which was the first time
I was able to head out and just stride along with the camera.
One thing I shall mention is that these are my own pictures.
I just shall go about and meet up with a few friends and then
as well look at the areas of which there is something of which
represents this time of year.
It hit the high 90's or 30's and within the finality I have enjoyed
the day more so as it's like a quasy summer yet within autumn.
I have not labelled all my pictures as I think that is not necessary
and can be time consuming but this was my saturday from my
vantage at this time of the year.

Can You Say That - Can You Do That
I don't know with regards to all the whims of what going on within the states. It does baffle me yet for myself it's a nice eve actually I got on here much longer that what I have thought. Some things are better not to mention and what I do believe is that for every action there is a reaction. Such are the words.
Today was a good day a day of renewal. Tonight it's simply nice. I don't claim to know all the things of the world nor do I waiver on what I belive in. What I do know is embarking on things brings things about.
After fixing a few things thereafter I had a few calls. This music has come to take more time. I learned early in life not to throw all the eggs within one basket. There are pros and cons to being on a blog. Yet it's an ordeal of which I find is expression and is creative. I shall be honest with ya as I had the best time on here when I focused on music. I didnt need not wish to focus on any mission other that just that of was on my mind.
So within getting on here within the skies which are so much shorter the composition is simple. I never wished to do anything more, nor shall I. But you do have to smile and at a certain time look at it all and know know to get too obsorbed within here. Yet it's that factor of too each their own.
I kinda think I am being redundant.
Yet it's Friday and for some Saturday. There is much more I could say but I think I am gonna leave it at that. The avenues of which we choose is that of our own. For myself within the eve I just enjoy to write. Within good taste and without rockin the boat.The picture above is not that of my own.
Yet it does illustrate within a manner of how small we are yet how Unique. Thus I said that and I can do that. One nation can't be the entire world.
As a flawless crystal absorbs what is placed before it, so the settled mind is transparent to whatever it meets - the seer, the process of seeing, or the object seen.” Tizuka

Redundancy
I heard a weather forecaster the other day, which stated, “Temperatures will be seasonal for this time of year”. What’s wrong with that statement? It's redundant, that's what. "Temperatures will be seasonal" would have sufficed.
As Captain Obvious, head of the Department of Redundancy Department would say, "redundancies are menacing and yet they are everyone and as within all languages there is that redundant many of which we all can come to find everywhere."
Well boo to that as I know at times I as well can be excessive and go on and write more and repetitive can be at times something which unless I take my time I know that my grammar is not perfect. Perhaps he had something here.
It appears that there was a guy named Lord Alvin Redund in the 18th century who wrote a letter that was excessively repetitive to the point of being repetitively excessive. The wording was repetitive, excessive and superfluous. Now this I can relate with when I write, as there are times of which I am ridiculously redundant. I am sure that Lord Redund could very well shake his head with some of the redundant manners of that of my own redundancy.
Since then, afterwards, and subsequently, things, items, speech, text, stuff and things that are superfluous, repetitive or excessive are called, named, or otherwise noted as Redundant. Sir Isaac Newton's Redundancy Law of Redundancy postulated that any quantity of redundancy is accompanied by an equal and proportionate amount of redundancy. It is said Albert Einstein in 1944 formulated his Theory of Redundancy.
Within his theory of that which he discussed the main factors of which contributing
factors that contributed to the occurrence and existence of redundancy. Now this I never knew yet at times can be my own achilles heel.
Thursday and Feelin Good
I have been entirely of computing or blogging for a few days and there is so much to say. The weather here has been superb as it's back up there within temperatures which are than of a very warm autumn. As of today I am done - done for this week with regards to this one project which is musical. Cinn thanks for the invite I have not been on here and I don't have the time right now but I know the intention was good. Takes a few days or even a day off and then there is a catch up I do thank the friends which have made comments.
So it's all within a flow as these times of recent have been great yet they are nor have been as easy as it seems. Yet it is fun. Thus as simple as this comes I do thank you as I have been enjoying the past days mind you it's not something that just comes so easily. As well you have to bend the other areas of you life to fit it in.
The weather has been great, I took some time within the morning to go for a lengthy walk to just place together all of this and althought I have not been on I have been enjoying without a camera. That is a secondary right now and what come out of it all shall be what it is. Other than that there are other things but I have to admit that within the last while I have had more enjoyment regardless of what come to be the outcome. It's within the making that seems to be the most enjoyable part.
Weather wise again it came to be warm very warm and for this time of the year the colors unfold yet the contrast is the temperatures and how they peak up which is truly different for this time of the year. Yet it can stay this way right through till next month. :) Yesterday morning I wanted to head out early to what is called Cranberry Flats before the weather really started to turn and wouldnt' you know it how the weather changed within one day.
Peace,
Jack

Monday, September 19, 2011
My intention was never to come online and save the world. The people save the world within what they with in their own areas. That is the way life goes. I never met one person whom could resolve everything within the world all at once. It perhaps starts with you and I . But unity is a fragile concept isn't it?
Monday's can be Tedious to say the Least yet OH Baby Yeah we got things Started
Over the weekend I was perplexed with what I had uncovered. I don't now wish to be a rock star yet there was always music as a perspective. I came home after all the takes of which this recording studio has. I did have a oral surgery yet last night I figure that I would place it off. I took in a concert here with my friend Jim. Frankly everyone here is within a buzz of what I assembled. I sat down for fifteen minutes with the producer and knew I had to state where things are and as well as where things might go. This could easily fall. The recording manager had more good advice. He said that most often in cases such as these - you can wait and wait or you can just go ahead with your own. Ironically he found the song called words as well found some of my other songs.
He has produced many and has known many yet Buble, and a few of the likes never knew of their studio. He knows what I can sing as well what I can play. I delayed a oral surgery as he knows I have an invite.
Sandy speaks like an Australian and he indicated to me that this is the time where you either wait on others within a dreams cape or you just do it on your own. I believe with all things concerned - it's time and I shall but as well I am going to do more back to them. I never in my life thought at this time I would be in a recording studio. Ironically, Paul the manager of the group could see how much and how less of time I have so he said, that there is a time in which you leave it up to others and then thereafter you do retain it to your own. He was rather frank and yet with the merits of wisdom of doing this for many years.
I am doing as I felt and the invitations to other members has been done which includes my brother. But if I have done all the work then it's mine. You can only wait so long and if there is no reply on the date - then I think much like an older gent - much more experienced than I. I shall do the two of the songs tomorrow as I have planned on for myself as well as for what it comes to be.
I can not afford to wait and I shall continue with the schedule yet in the manner of which the producer deems best. Some would think this was or is easy. Yet it's not it's like a marketing director trying to place it all together. Sandy gather the same and I am now more relaxed with this whole ordeal as he as well as I thought that by now if the others were not responding then just go solo.
I think I am with one on the side....for one song.
"tell me when you're mine"
"tell me quando quando quando"
and two others...
Hint 1 ..........."spreading the news"
Hint 2............"I know it's isnt on your mind"
Hint 3.............."somthings' yellow"
Yet I need to make my own website - again.
One Thing Leads Into Another

Small array from today as one thing
does lead into another. The gent which
runs this place is not of like any that
I have seen before. He has been with
the business for over twenty years and
to have one that one can speak with
and then take it with the wisdom of a
production manager of this kind are
not within that which I have known in
my entire life. I there is a caption of him
within on of my photos as of today's date
regardless of how this takes place I am not
turning back on this one.
I never placed much thought into whom was
within the studio but Rudy is that of much more
experience than I have ever come to know.
Lucky I am....

Summerish Weekends in Autumn
Today was a fine day one which was that of a relaxing time which I enjoy within all that is and otherwise. Tonight I logged on and for the life of me I could not find a audio which many were done from an old group which now is closed. I even forget the girls name as she was from Gibraltar and we used to do these audios and tonight I was amazed that I could find that of what one young lady at the time contributed to this ensemble. I have no clue as to where she is now. As she was facing some times which were trying and yet when she decided that she wished to contribute an audio it went to one friend of this group of the past which resided in Australia and then it was sent to me. She did an audio read which is that from the Course of Miracles and it seemed just like yesterday.
Outside of that the day was that of which was summerish as autumn begins to arrive. Yes things are starting to turn yellow but at the same time on this weekend the weather was fine for this time. There are those things of yesterday which are of worth. Today was plenty but a good plenty of nothing which is that of what is what makes weekends worthy.
Attached is a read of this person who's name now I do forget but literally it came from one who resides in Gibraltar and there was always a sparkle within how she looked at things. If you have the chance the attachment is rather elegant mind you the sound is not perfect yet of that which was said was that of worth as was that of today.
Summerish September Saturday

Batta up.
It was a tremendous day where the weather was nice for this time of the year life is a course of miracles of that in which we see and that of what we do.
Today was a fine day in particular for this time of the year.
Summerish is was at a time where autumn does unfold itself...

What I Love Best
Literally for myself I love to just vocally record. I love the studio and the feel and the people that all go within music. This plan is not as easy as it seems as you have to bring several people and personalities together and my brother and I have different tastes. Blaine was all Beatles and really nothing else and then I moved on with more of the old croonies songs of the likes of Buble, Sinatra, Nat King Cole and a few other artists. I changed within music and come to love more vocal content than what is known as pure rock. I have played drums since I was 13. Guitar came as a side as I am not a great guitarist. Piano I love. But most of all I love vocals. I have not spoke on here much yet I have no hesitation in saying I my best instrument is my voice. While Blaine has always played drums and well that's really it. Francaise is a fine bass player and can sing of the like of John Lennon. So it's fun yet not easy to make the choices for everyone before they even come online - I mean arrive. Bruce I have not found - so the one mandate that I have within all of this for myself is that it does not come to be work. When it does then that's where it stops. But all in all - the past of what our band was was THEN.
So I type within my voice lol and I bid you a good night as tomorrow is another day and of no concern in a studio till next week. As always music makes the world go around and everyone can sing - even when so many say they can't nor will they dare but within showers, while biking, in all spaces of life I shall never forget my 4 grade teacher at Bear Road School, saying music is what makes the world go around.
In all facets of our lives music is - one does not have to be in a studio or otherwise to be a musician as all really are as we all hum, whistle, and when we hear those favorite songs of ours in the car or where ever - everyone has a voice and is musical. As sound makes the world go around. Even animals or our pets strike a key in C major now and then.
Thus we all "hum" within those Stairs, and we thrive on the "whens" - Quando. And there are something with keep a person "Young at Heart" - "Forever".
Two Songs were done today and they shall be redone next week. It's natural and feels good and one of ten songs all in all shall be done. There was a reason why I asked what everyones' favorite song was as I was just trying to get a jest however it shall be sorta retro but a new retro to decide on what to do and then to have an agreement is rather hard but Stairs, Forever, Quando Quando, and a couple others which will include the Rutles.......kidding - the Beatles...:)
Commentary Friday
There was a time where I was apart of a group on here I am apart of a group within Italy yet it's hard to keep up with it all yet. Yet there are some that judge ya and then there are those which wish to place you into an area. This is my own example of yesterday and how I forgot. The group was a picture group and while I was out east there was a theme called something to the effect of poverty.
I didnt know of really what to post within the group as by way of taking a picture I have never thought of this area. From a photographic stand point. When I sent a question to the administrator of the group questioning the theme. As did three others as it was over the top if you know what I mean. Two which were long time members seemed to be left alone.
I simply took a picture within the streets of Montreal City of garbage and how the more fortunate would spend $500.00/per meal. And up above of these bars and streets where those which lived in a much less fortunate manner. Ethically I had a problem with the idea and yet there were some which literally went out and took pictures of people on the street and so forth. I don't know the member whom posted on picture of a man laying on the grass and gave him $ 10.00 dollars for a warm meal.
I don't know about you but I would never run out to get a picture for a theme as such. I actually just posted my picture of garbage within the streets and left it at that. I was reluctant to participate - mind you I was rather busy at the time as well. But some guy went and took this one picture and that's when I said to myself that I am not going to even partake in this as the picture of a man with no means and one with a camera which cost more than the man which was laying there - I felt that it wasnt something I wished to participate in.
Since that time, I have never felt bad yet I have had many which by way of the owners of this group nail on me. I thought of this last night as I love photography and before I really got into it - I even promoted the site. Those days are gone. As that was the time where I felt that whomever was in control of running the group had waffled ethically in a big way. To think that a them would be placed out and then some - not all but some would go and take pictures of the homeless. I have never regretted that day. I have never seen any group do anything of this sort nor had I ever seen adults go out with $1,000.00 camera's and take pictures of the homeless for a theme.
I never paid a price and I don't think the common individual would with any camera fancy taking pictures for something of this nature. There are so many other areas but ironically there were and this is recall of Multiply but I don't think the average person would partake in a theme as such. Yet that is my own point of view. The admins went at me and for three months I had person after person drop me as a friend as there was that trickle effect of talking with others and making up stories which were fiction. But for myself at the time I thought how important is this? All concerned it never was and I am happy to be blogging yet I do belong to one group - it's hard to use a translator to reply to everyone. Yet there was a fine gent by the name of Nico which introduced me to a group upon seeing all that happened. I do have a hard time with reading everything in Italian yet Nico could see it all from the wayside. That was the nicest gesture and Nico did understand that I was not some down and out person yet was one that did have ethics and wanted to enjoy things on here in blogging.
To this day Nico was one that stepped above the rest and everyone likes Nico for he is Italian but the point is - within the eves I do love to write as well what I had learned from the experience of a group which called itself "perfect". Did make some grave mistakes with that one theme.
There are times where there are misunderstandings, a jump to the gun on people. If you were not online and were asked by anyone would you ethically go out and take a picture of a homeless person for the sake of a theme.
I think not.
I have been having the time of my life over here these last two months and there will always be misunderstandings. But then there are the likes of Nico which don't worry about what others say. Thus this is a fine time as well as I have wished to write this for a couple of days as I am part Italian ( one quarter ) but not one is better than an other. We just at times have misunderstandings.
Thus I blog on and with no angst. You never can please all but you can enjoy a community of some. There is no doubts in my mind on that.
Friday Afternoon
I have been under the weather the last day as I had a doctors appointment and I have lost 10 lbs within 12 days. That's not good as I eat right and all and I have to do in to have a thorough examination come next Friday. Today I did what I intended to do and it was the second last test within this studio. I maintain that this has to be fun and there are no definates - but in the past with most everything even within youth were I was the one to bring all things together. I don't count on things being certain yet I have been having a ball within this studio and over the weekend with all going well either 60 percent of things shall all come to be. That's good enough for me and this morning although I didnt have that best review by my doctor as I have lost ten pounds. I shall just keep eating as I do and as well I don't fancy at this time - especially this time to have an entire medical as it's came by surprise to me the other day.
Yet I don't push it and it things happen - great. I had a great time this morning within a recording studio which far surpassed what I thought was here as there are many project which are now being done from here in many areas. This Pulse Studio is truly amazing it's not as large as SIR Studio but it does the job.
A rainy day on a Friday where things are coming to be all yellow. But the tempertuare went up to 75F and that is fine by me. As the last two days it's been 45F at the peek and well hopefully this is a nice September break.
I don't know whom is on as a friend or whom is not but aside of going to this place where I could live 24 hours a day to be honest with you as I love music. I am glad that the weekend is here and that's probably all I have to say to be honest.
Jack
Go figure this one the Prime Minister of Canada is looking to have the RCMP observe all the internet procedures and monitored - while right now there is a debate on this before it happens. I believe within freedom of speech. And that might be like opening up people's snail mail which really is a breach of privacy.
Friday is Final

This morning I headed in for pretty much my last testings
within the studio. I hope my brother has been will be
doing the same this weekend and then despite a slight
draw back within my health which is minor. I wanted to
ensure the studio was right and it's tremendous. The
producer is far beyond what I whom I have ever come
across and for one hour it was fun.
Aside of my brother and the two other former members.
I await a call for the go and then it's the fun within within
music.
Music does make the world go aroung and everyone has
their own favorites. I don't have a claim to fame - yet when
it comes to getting things done and then enjoying the
playing - for me there is nothing that beats it.
We shall see what the weekend presents. Yet I know
where I wish to go with this. One old band mate is yet
to be found that is not problem. And if things change
with what it suppose to take place - I have already
laid down a foundation of which at the least recordings
again for the last shall be done.

Coffee Talk
Now it's been a long time since I have come on within the morning - but wishing you all well. I headed to bed early as I wished to get up early this morning as I have one important meeting. I am not sure if you have noticed but the days are so much shorter. It's 5am here and I am on my laptop and it's still pitch black outside.
The weather came to be colder in the mornings now people are wearing winter like clothing - especially the students as some do bike it to school. So it's a cooler time of the year. I can't say I fancy it as I don't. However come the weekend according to the weather people - we shall head back up into the 70's. That I can live with and it would be bliss if it would stay that way and then warm up after January. But the likelyhood of that happening are like a cat changing it's diet and deciding to fetch dog bones.
President Obama has come out with a new stimulus package and well that's too be questioned as this buy everything in America takes us right back to what was done right before 2008 and the recession. But such is life and I don't know about you but there have you ever noticed at times that your focusing on the same things as you were two years ago? I do when it comes to all this econony stuff and often when I see the news it seems like it's groundhog day - revolving every month - for that matter even within weeks. The one area within the news is this new book that Jacquie O came out with. Last night I was listening and reading some of the quotes from here book and who would have ever known.
Any how I wish you all a good morning and to those across the pond I wish you a good eve. My confession is I am picky as heck with socks when it comes to this time of the year. Socks can't be too thick, they need to be the right length.
So I wish you the best and regardless of what the time is in your time. I wish you a good one within the day or within the eve.
Chow for now....

Wednesday of Worth

From a new studio which is called Pulse Studio to a ride within the
sky. The days are getting shorter.With a consideration to seek the city from the air as well to take a few vocal tests with new people were new as well new bonds of worth come with those which things are just comfortable.
When I was looking down on the city of which I reside I thought of how minute this world we do live upon yet in zooming in there are encounters of each and every sort.
Worth is that which is of ones own evaluation. Wednesdays are not
typically known for being the best day of the week. Yet at the end of it all there was one constant denominator seemingly all strive with life for the best and to be the best of what they opt.
When you look down at this world and/or city there is a vantage of which
renders more of an understanding. Coupled with the elements of sound
which are that of one voice yet from the sky the echos of many travel
within the wind in a good light.
Such was the midweek Wednesday of that of an melody which has a tonation of several vibrations.
Not one yet that of many...

A Dream Within the Making
Last night I spoke to my brother as over the the weekend from speaking with Mark it sparked and idea. Blaine took to it right away. As there is a marriage which is going to take place here as well as within Los Angelas. Shannon Tweed's sister I spoke and after speaking with Mark there is something which we have never done as a ensemble and Blaine my brother has been thinking on songs as well as if all goes as planned Marc is as well. It it all comes together as planned for one time we are going to have a revival of the band we had called Syracuse.
I have already been to the one studio here as I don't with to place too many eggs in one basket and I usually keep silent on this - especially this yet if all goes well Syracuse the band which I formed along with my older brother shall render back Francaise as well as Bruce. I know tonight that my brother has probably been on the telephone to Syracuse, N.Y. as he is like a kid when things like this come up. So within this month how ironic if it goes as planned. Our old band as well as Marc's band shall come here as Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed will be here to be married. Shannon's sister lives here and after a call now it's a time to plan. I have spent more time on the phone during the day - getting all things in some form of a schedule. Francaise hopefully is a go and Bruce I have yet to know where he as he became a radio dj for the longest in Calgary. Within this week I will know the date that this wedding is taking place and it will be the neatest thing within the world to have an ensemble of our band as well as Marc's band. When I was talking to Marc last night he couldn't believe that Gene and Shannon would be getting married here as well after talking to my brother. We thought of the pros and the cons. I have done some productions and the odd playing. Yet within the band that we had it was big and we were much younger. Blaine is all for a go and I am as well but the next stage is to find one old member of the band or just replace him. So all going well it would be the coolest thing to play as a band again - as well as play with a band which we influenced as kids as well - to play in practice with two of the original members of KISS well it's not a dream. Yet it does take work from a production side. Blaine in the band played drum, Francaise played bass, Bruce played lead guitar, and I played rhythm guitar couple with vocals. This is a once in a life time experience and if all goes as planned. There are more in arrangements as I always produced everything which I might outsource this time to another. So when I arrived home I called those which I have already spoke too and now I await the word with a few things. But come this weekend with all going well I will be within a studio here with Francaise and hopefully if all goes well within the next two days we will find where Bruce is and then it's all on. We as a group played a combination of songs yet we were inspired by the Beatles, INXS, and KISS. As well I have some of my own songs and Blaine does. So musically we will be doing some thing digitally.
How funny it was as my older brother was elated - beyond that. So here there will be two bands as well as if all goes as planned Paul Stanley shall be apart of this and I feel like I was 13. I kid you not. So there are things which from here through the week with getting things set up. It's allot of work but it's fun. I may very well hire one person to help me organize things. But I have to tell you this is within a dream of a lifetime and this is truly where the "Why Not" comes into play.
For three days I have been making plans and organizing what's called a critical schedule. But to be back in a studio this shall be too much fun. So imagine a band from here, a band from or old home town as well as members of KISS with the exception of Gene........I still don't believe this has come about and with no doubts this shall be recorded on video as well as on audio.
I am not a dreamer nor am I a kid but this is a once in a lifetime and it shall be a big benchmark if this all does work out. I can't begin to tell you how elated I am. Yet I guess dreams do or can come true.....give me two weeks and if all works out over the next three days.
Bingo!
~ A Confusion of State ~
There are some that will hold on to that of question. And there are some which will play politics for all their worth. Days after the day of which we honor of September 11 are days which the new starts. I don't wish to continue with writing on September 11. For myself from a friend which works within Virginia and as an outsource to the Pentagon which was trained by my father to another whom moved on and went on to IBM. From my own colleagues to my old man's over last weekend the feel was to honor and then get on with it. Why focus on politics of which you hold no office? Why ponder on things which you have not been too and back? I think that would be left up to those which have. I don't care of those whom say they have lived throught all wars as this is a different era. I love history yet dessention and discourse I can live without.
The day is all finished the politics are redundant. I could place on the calls I made on the day of September 11. Basically the consensus by all was to get on and forget but the politics are dumb. Dumb is a word which mean simply dumb. There can be some that think they know everything. It's redundant it you ask me. Right now as the former governor of New York said best, "We had community and then it went in a direction which was all of other than what community is about". Pataki is and was a great Governor of New York. Could New York be different than the rest of the States.
The reason why is that I met the man. When I was living within New York City as I had returned there was not the stupidity which hits Americana. We are over this now. If your not I am and nothing beats talking to those which were within the infrastructure. If the average American which resides within America does not understand that right now there is a better situation compared to that of the past - do sent your remarks. I shall never mention a name but I don't give a rats' behind as to where your from in the states as more than anything you missing the forrest for the trees. Now how is it that by telephone there are more things which are understood than that of within a blog?
The more you sensationalize a time which was placed to past the more you bring it back. For those within America - I ain't a leader. But watch the news to your hearts content as mainstream America I feel does have a good understanding of all that went on. Before long most everyone shall leave as this persistent attitude and blogs on politics are dumb. The reason they are dumb is that when I go to cast my vote, I close a screen and vote for whom I felt was the best.
A blog is not about a political race - not the manner that I see it and I know. I know I am not the only one. There are some things which we retain silence with I would think that the choice of politics unless you work for a party is something to write without the need to voice it on a blog. Pataki was so right in what he had mentioned as a previous Governor of New York State.
Let it be. Better yet move on.
* I can't imagine how many still are writing on all this you would think that after Sunday there would or maybe some would take a change of thoughts as this is not a Political Blog. It's a blog called Multiply...not Pultiply but that is just my take.

~ By Choice it was just Another Day ~
This morning I was going to attend this tribute of 9/11 and then I came to realize that the world has not stopped. I went about doing other things as if the day was like any other. When I arrived home I made a few calls to some friends which live in Syracuse as well as New York City and that was enough. I was talking to one old friend by that name of Marc and I asked him what his feelings were within our discussion.
He said that there is enough within life from which to deal with and he is starting a new job with Lockheed and as well we both agreed that what happened on September 11 is that for the history books - and meanwhile we both go about our lives. Marc I have kept in contact with since I we both were kids. As soon as I called there he yelled out " Jack ". I get a kick when there are times that you have not spoken with someone for a period of time and it's just as if time has no meaning - coupled with one along with his brother have always been considered as family.
When we were young Marc and his brother used to come over and listen to me and my brother play music - thereafter they had several bands. Marc's mother died a long time ago when I was attending Syracuse University however he and his brother have continued with a band which is called, "The South Bay Band". He had sent me a few pictures and after tomorrow both of them are sending a few of the songs which they played at the New York State Fair which takes place in Syracuse, New York.
I myself am glad the day is over and while we were finishing off our talk on the phone Marc asked when I would come back and visit. I told him it's his turn now and we had a laugh. I myself don't think this would have hit as hard as it did and for most of the day I did other things. The past is the past and I think for the most part that we do go on with life and not thrive on matters which are that which cause a negative vibe. While talking with Marc we spent more time speaking on music and from here to there it seemed as if there is no distance.
Thus we move on and perhaps somethings we don't focus on too much yet we come to understand that live itself is precious and for myself I look at the bright side of things as Marc had mentioned everything today is like any other for him. Seemingly we still think alike and within the day it was a Sunday and that which was as it is. To be honest I am glad this day is over and done with. Yet it's the coolest thing when you get on the phone right before supper and from 3,000 miles there is not much of a difference within the mindset.
The band that Marc and Kevin have is called, "The South Bay Band". There were a combination of things which created the name and one was a road which we used to ride our bikes on ever day within the summer which was called, "South Bay Rd.,". The link to the home site of their band is as follows:

The Minutes were Zero
The Minutes were Zero
Matters all came to a halt
It was not possible
People within all corridors
Those within hospitals
Those within schools
Those within all avenues
Millions watched what was unfolding
There own situations Where forgotten
From a mother doing dishes
To another at work
All within an short time
Where glued to that television
Within an instant
The minds of millions stopped
Minutes came to be Zero the souls of millions hurt
They listened and watched
All with the same humanitarian concern
Everything at hand was place aside
A time where humanity came to absorb
Tears as they watched in awe where the millions
Watching then Calling - Calling then Watching
Glued to the tube only trying to understand
Yet realizing the thousands were in harms avenues
Of a city which was that of an apple as they called it
Yet this red was not that of a red apple
The hundreds of folk in hospitals
The lady within the kitchen
Those in Places of business
All watched in awe
Helpless were millions yet all too concerned
As they watched what unfolded
Institutions of education closed
Everyone came to a stop
Or the stop came to everyone
And the tears of millions
From all corridors Came to a halt
Everyone stopped – the world stopped
The people watched
Many with hands over there mouths
Millions caressed each other
Mankind seemed to be brought down to it's knees
The feel was of shock as the minutes and time
Became Zero

Till Death Do We Part
Today I met up with my friend Jim and his wife within the morning. He wished to thank me for yesterday as the two of his children were elated to say the least with seeing Moon 5. We just ranted on and talked and he still does not know how I was able to get the passes and tickets but he we talked and he asked me if I wished to have a copy of this disc and I said yeah as it was something within the making.
Thereafter I had some other things of which to do which included this marriage between two. During the entire event I thought to myself how neat it was that two were being married as love does make the world go around. The capture of the bride was something which now and then you just render something that is just there. After that I met up with someone whom lives out in the outskirts of the city and right now it's at question as to if the marriage is going to take place here or in New York or in L.A. - Most of you would know of the man which is apart of a Rock n Roll Band which started out of Flushing, New York and then went on to be one of the most famous bands of all times. Hint here he is married to someone that used to live here and I had met up with Shannon's sister and ironically we went for a ride by horse and if the wedding does take place here - I shall certainly attend.
Ironically as it is this marriage went on with no concerns except from a father which was teary eyed as he was handing over his daughter. Yet love does make the world go Around.
Come to mention it Love within some way shape and form does have some relation with Peace. As this bride to shortly be was about to enter marriage. There still is some value and meaning to that term, "Till death do us Part". Thus the capture which was taken just before she walked down to the isles and then the rest is within their own bond and unity within marriage.
From tears to joy all within that tradition of which we call Love. I am old school as I do still believe in it...
The Bride had a Groom

One of the best photos I have taken within my own vision within a month or two.
It's still that season where love does render the splendor of those whom fall in love. Most often marriage or unions as such take place during the months of spring, summer
and as well within the autumn.
This church in particular was built at the very same time whereas when there was another being built within Chicago. The feeling at the time was that this city would be much like Chicago - yet Winnipeg came to be more of the likes. Yet the architects came up with the thought that they would not only build church of this was made two were made and built in the 1800's one within Chicago and the other in Saskatoon. Yet I don't think that the groom was thinking much on the history. He was thinking more of that of whom he would be spending the rest of their lives in togetherness.
On this Saturday a bride had not met her groom. They both decided to take the vows. Elegance within Love.
As love does make the world go around...

Maroon 5 - Made me Wonder
As today was a day that I had onto myself I had met up with a group which some of you may know they are called, Maroon 5. From there it was enjoyable to have a small chat and the production assembly is from Tennessee. One thing led to another and then I was offered two back stage passes. I can't say I have ever taken to this group I remember their first hit yet before you know it I was down to the major auditorium and had a full explanation of all that goes into the process of setting up the stage. Now these people really place allot of work within the set up it's rather amazing with how much time is placed into the entire ensemble of a stage. There after, I had some fun with dabbling with a few things. Then while I was taking some pictures on the sidelines the production manager told me that there are two front row seats as well as back stage passes.
By the time that all was said and done - I called my friend Jim which was working full overtime (till midnight) so then I had a brain storm as two of Jim's children would definitely get a hoot out of this. Then I went to the administration office and made arrangements so that Colby and Kelton were able to have these tickets and passes by way of transferring them from my name (which I had two passes and tickets) and right now as I write I think that they are having the time of there life. Kelton is 13 and Colby is 18. Jim said, "I owe you one big time" as Kelton as well as his sister Colby which are much like a nephew and niece. Will within their glory.
The meeting with this production manager which was from Tennessee was all too neat as well there was no expectation in getting a two passes and tickets. Yet as it was all within a short period of time combined with the fact that I have plans for tomorrow morning - these two kids shall be within bliss. Kelton has been playing guitar for some two years now and Colby she is a tremendous young lady - it seems that just yesterday she she was a baby. Yet right now I am sure they are having a ball.
Such was apart of the day.

September 11 - The Era that the News had Died

Rather late it is yet I had a good review with my doctor and thereafter went about my business within the day. The weather here has been well up within the high 90's and it to last for two more weeks. Now that is an autumn which I can go for. I have been writing on September 11th and in no means does it have an impact on me. Here there will be a tribute which shall be taking place on Saturday. The means of what one wishes to express is their own given right. There are several countries which come this weekend are having some sort of tribute. Here within the city as with many other nations I believe there shall be an honor to those with a respect. It's been declared as a National Day of Service, which will take place within every city in honor & tribute to what had taken place ten years ago. I believe that there are certain areas within or lives which are that of which we do pay tribute. This is one of them.
In receiving a message of "get over it". I have yet that does not mean that one forgets the benchmarks of time within history. We honor them as the manner that I see it. For that matter there is so much debating on politics one would tend to think that to honor is within a grace which is within the same manner which we do recall and honor areas which have shaped the ways within the world. Yet if one is about to forget the regard and the ethics of the moral of what happened on September 11th - frankly that would be like casting away Memorial Day, Remembrance Day, and all the likes of that in which we do honor.
Better yet lets just throw out all the history which has made the very fabric of what has created the societies of which we live in. Now I would think that would be more of a disservice than otherwise.
I did meet up with the paramedics to see how all went with that situation with the young student being hit by the car on his bike. I had met up with a fire chief to learn that there shall be this tribute upon Saturday which I shall attend. There is the psychological side to what took place after 9/11. There were more innovations which came about with computing. An infrastructure with regards to security were made. Reality shows commenced in replacement to many television movies as Hollywood for a year in not two came to hold off on several which were in production within New York City at the time. And within music the song "Imagine". Came to be a signature song at the first New Years Eve celebrations around the world. As well, it changed the manner of which politics within governments came to be of less substance and much more of a reality show. Music seemingly was the one area which carried on yet there were many newscasters which following September 11 ended up leaving the press one of the likes was Dan Rather as well as Helen Thomas the one of the most respected Presidental journalist whom whom was noted for asking the hard question yet so well respected went from the front row after asking George Bush the hard questions. She wrote within one of her memoire of how the press core never dared to ask questions as within the first year following September 11th - the feel amongst most all of the press core - was that it would be unpatriotic to question the President. The feeling was that it may have been unpatriotic. Yet nearing the second year following September 11th - the press did start to question the actions which were being made.
When the press decided that they wished to do the reporting and journalism which they had always been educated. Helen asked the questions. She was known for doing so with countless presidents but when she was the first to directly ask the President on why he went into Iraq. Bush arrange to have Helen placed to the very back of the White House press room. Shortly thereafter as the likes of Dan Rather they retired. So much for freedom of speech. Later on in interviews Helen went on to write here own memories and as well indicated that George Bush had done more harm to the way of America than any President within her life. At the age of 82 she resigned. At the ceremony in Helen's honor I quote Helen's own remarks:
"I have never covered a president who actually wanted to go to war. Bush's policy of pre-emptive war is immoral - such a policy would legitimize Pearl Harbor. It's as if they learned none of the lessons from Vietnam," she said to enthusiastic applause.
"Where is the outrage?" she demanded. "Where is Congress? They're supine! Bush has held only six press conferences, the only forum in our society where a president can be questioned. I'm on the phone to [press secretary] Ari Fleischer every day, asking will he ever hold another one? The international world is wondering what happened to America's great heart and soul."
Thomas ignored the clapping just as she once ignored the camera flashes and shouting matches of the Washington press corps. Later she would go on to write on how the press were too scared to ask the question - but she did yet Bush would never answer them and placed here in the back row. Helen's' career started with President Kennedy and up till George Bush she then decided to call it quits.
Since the era of George W. - the news took on a different means and ways. Yet during this era was when the News as we know it came to a halt. There after came an onslaught of a variety of types of news which had more of a sensationalized flair that that of which we were used to.
Thus those whom asked only the right questions retained their seats. It reminds me of how Richard Nixon took was able to take the Smothers Brothers of Television.
Same Style different Year.
Part 2 - September 11
When I was back in Canada there were many things to be address which shortly thereafter was my father as unknowing to all he had three cancerous masses. Yet he was still well within the shape of that which I had known previous before I had returned to New York. That is a story within itself…
As time went on there was a period of time which no one really understood how what all I had gone through but ironically a head of the fire department which specialized within taking over things for those chiefs which were on burn out. He listened to me and came to be a great friend. As he was trained within the area and knew that it would take some time to just settle out of the whole situation. He himself was involved within the first gulf war as many had at their own discretion went during the first gulf war and 90 percent of western firefighters had put out most all of the fires which Saddam had opened up in retaliation. We would get together periodically and just talk – it was good to find that combined with the friend I made mention whom knew things which had taken place from a personal side.
When one building went down much like the cold war all of Canada Air force were in the air as well as all agencies of responding were concerned that Canada might be the next target. There was not only commercial aircrafts that were up within the air. The situation in some way mimicked the Cuban Missile Crisis with the exception that Canada's Air Force could not cross the border as they had with the proper allowances by way of Ottawa as well as Washington. All of Canada Armed Forces – specifically the Air Force were prepared to take action. Within fifteen minutes there was a detection of certainty with two commercial airlines. Prime Minister Christian was on the phone trying to reach the President George Bush or any representative within the hierarchy in government – yet Washington went into what is called a black out.
Imagine the Canadian Air Force was prepared to take action while within and for America yet without any allowance on the level which was required Canadian Armed forces could only watch and insure that Canada was secure.
Rudy G., the mayor of New York at the time probably was the most prevalent rapid responder within the city of New York. Things needn't have happened within this way yet Bush was setting up a offshoot from the government to replace the set in rapid response system and we all know how well FEMA worked within it's inception. Mind you it was after the first plane hit the one twin tower – but the merit of how all his departments responded where in the best manner as there was a cohesive system which along with his administration was put into place far before 9/11.
Yet the Air Force within America were not notified until they were notified the head of the American Air Traffic Control System. The Canadian Air Force had deployed their arsenal of aircrafts an hour before anything was picked up on the radar systems in America. Dick Cheney was escorted to a bunker underneath the White House while after the second tower was hit President Bush was then escorted to another bunker but the while the he was being escorted to this bunker within Nebraska those whom protected the president made a mistake and had to turn around which took over 45 minutes to have the president in a communications bunker. Meanwhile at this time there were military and civilian air traffic controllers that had there hands tied to give the American Air Force any orders. Before anyone within the United States had even picked up that there was an imposing threat in the east from Cold Lake, Alberta all 50 of 64 of Canada’s F- 16’s were deployed into airspace and were ready to intercept two commercial airlines – yet they could not cross the border without permission from Washington to Ottawa.
While the Canadian Prime Minister and Generals called to the American Air Force Generals there was no manner that Canada could just enter into American Airspace - their hands. Notification by American controllers came 30 minutes after the head of the Canadian Air Strategic command had called the appropriates within the American Air Force. The response factor within America was blemished. Washington had a blackout as well Cheney ignored Canada's attempts to have privy to American Airspace.
CISIS in alliance with the Canadian Air Force knew ten minutes after the take off that there was a probable cause of two commercial airlines and deployed most all air force jets to the east coast. As well, twenty percent went monitored Canada as it's a normal procedure which goes back to the roots of how Canada’s Air Force set up it systems during and after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Imagine the frustration as America did not have the set up infrastructure and if a Canadian pilot had without allowance went into American airspace without the proper codes of procedure he and for that matter nearly 70% of Canada’s F-16’s were ready to go in upon the allowance.
Literally Canada’s Air Force was flying around the eastern seaboard prepared to intercept while America's Commanding Officer could not make any decision. Time was the essence and somewhere within the system notification as well as the realization of a threat came much too late for any deployed American Air Force to be able to get near the planes in the appropriate time from deployment. If either the Canadian Air Force or American Air Force too action they would have been in breach of the laws in which are that of the missions of engagement. The American Generals upon their notification were ready to give commands yet it all was much too late as Cheney insisted even after the first tower that no decision would be made till George Bush was within communications. This was the beginning of Colin Powell’s resentment to taking a position in the administration. Which he only took upon the request of former President Bush Sr., Powell is a friend of my fathers and although he came from an Army background they both met and came to enjoy each other - which in later years was to my surprise.
When George arrived at his bunker after the second tower had already went down as well as the Pentagon. Much too late, as he was in Nebraska and the CIA went the wrong direction while taking George to an underground communication bunker. Which took 30 minutes for the "Presidential Team of Security" to realize. They made reversal another 30 minutes was of time was lost, not to mention no one was making a decision. When Bush got to the bunker he then took 30 more time arguing with Cheney, as he wanted to come back to Washington via Air Force One. He was advised on the case thereafter he went up in Air Force One and did not return to Washington till Cheney felt that things were under control. The situation was bad the worst in American History yet Bush placed out to contract this concept of a rapid response system. Rudy in New York had an impeccable immediate response procedure set up. Better than the federal government of Washington at the time. There after the Pentagon was hit. Meanwhile the head of the American Air Traffic Controllers placed his job on the line and made an order and command on his own called "Grounding". The only decisive command that he knew very well it might cost him his job. But the idea was to get all aircrafts grounded - the first time it's been done in history - yet you have to hand it to him as he did was others of higher positions had no idea of what to do. Yet he acted and he did land all that were in the air. The grounding call worked and all that were within the air were grounded - which is the first time in which it has been done within the history of any land. Yet under the circumstances it was too late but if there would have been any other jeopardized planes it was a call that would work. Ironically there was never in place across United States a rapid response procedure federally.
Within the military there has always been surveillance. In this case, the manner which 9/11 was handled was that of an area which all systems were not tied in with each other and the commander in chief never would give any order without the approval of V.P. Cheney coupled with Rumsfield. If the President would have signed off authority there were more Canadian F-16’s prepared to take if and when ordered the first two residential aircrafts as Canada knew and were in place while the George, Dick and Rumsfield sat and waited for George. George, Dick and Rumsfield messed it up while ironically Canada was from 3,000 miles away ready to take the required action upon being given the ordinates as well as the right to fly into America Airspace.
That you don’t hear but while things were in a disarray or mismanagement ironically the Canadian Air Force was ready and able – as well the man which headed the American Air Traffic Controllers were on the mark.
Did it change the world – yes it did change the world. There was more harm done than good during the eight years of George and Dick. Yet the ordinance of command within the administration of George W. Bush, Jr. had more good people within sectors of the administration that there after retired or were asked to retire. During his term he probably had some of the best which within a two year span decided to retire and sign of on an oath to never make any mention of this mistakes which were made before 9/11 and then thereafter.
Only in future years would some come to realize all of that they had done.
Imagine that...
