Bamboozle

Submitted By: codger817@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
A wonderful quote from Carl Sagan’s “Demon-Haunted World”

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Submitted By: moranmem@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
TERRY ROBB has earned international acclaim from music critics, peers and fans. His signature fingerpicking style landed him in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame and the Cascade Blues Association Hall of Fame.

Incorporating elements from the Mississippi Delta, ragtime, country, swing and jazz, Robb ranks right up there with the heavy hitters, a player of dazzling skill and technique. Dan Forte of Vintage Guitar magazine hailed him as “one of the best players, on acoustic and electric, embracing a range of blues styles and then some.”

Gary Hobbs is a native of the Pacific Northwest. He has played professionally for over 4 decades and appears on over 60 recordings. Gary played with The Stan Kenton Orchestra from 1975 through 1977 and has performed with Randy Brecker, Bud Shank, Anita O’Day, Terry Gibbs, The Woody Herman Orchestra and many others. He’s played Carnegie Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Wolf Trap and the Kennedy Center, as well as festivals and clubs all over the world. Gary is very active in Jazz Education, teaching at the University of Oregon and doing clinics, concerts and jazz camps.

Bassist Dave Captein is an accomplished performer on both string bass and bass guitar, having worked as a professional musician for over 35 years in the Pacific Northwest. A Portland native, he is a music graduate of Western Washington University and the University of Washington. Dave has performed in a broad range of situations, from symphonic performances to studio and club work, as well as many jazz concerts and festivals around the country and in Europe. He is a favorite choice for the region’s many bandleaders and always in demand for his solid sound, time and feel, as well as his soloing abilities.

Gary Hobbs and Dave Captein will join Terry Robb for an evening of Electric Music – From Country and Blues to John Coltrane and Jimmy Hendrix! It’s a different side of Terry Robb!

Shamanic Breathwork is a powerful modality to help us go deeply into non-ordinary states of consciousness. In these states it is possible to bring forth hidden insights, release stuck emotions, and to connect with the infinite expanse of psyche and soul.
The breath and the music within this ceremony facilitate deep healing, transformation and self-awareness and empower us to live aligned with our innate wisdom.

Responding to Tevis’ recommendation of: “Climate: The Movie”

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Right up front: I believe in government responding in big, bold ways to an undeniable climate catastrophe.
The notion from this movie that what we are seeing is just some kind of cyclic variation over millennia or millions of years is essentially don’t-believe-your-lyin’-eyes gaslighting. You don’t have to believe in any science, you can simply look at your homeowners’ insurance. Actuaries are paid to see trends as they happen and assess risk. Florida, California, and other states are becoming homeowners’ policy reinsurers of reinsurers of insurers due to climate-based disasters previously unimagined in scope and cost.
I’ve previously pointed out that PGE in Portland upped its electricity rates by 18% in January to pay for undergrounding an electric transmission line to protect it from catastrophic, unimagined wildfires. That rate is likely to go up another 7% soon. portlandgeneral.com/news/2023-10-30-customer-price-changes-to-take-effect-january-2024
Do a Google search of the methane leakage disaster caused by producer neglect in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico, the most productive natural gas region in the world. Methane is 90 times more heat-absorbing than CO2. www.nrdc.org/stories/new-mexico-has-methane-cloud-visible-satellite-it-also-has-bold-climate-plans
NPR just featured a segment about sinking towns in Alaska due to the (once again unimagined) wide-scale thawing of permafrost. One of the components of permafrost is methane. What would you think if your family graveyard sank five feet in the last 20 years? The summer-long boreal forest fires in northern Canada last year were likely intensified by the presence of thawed-out methane.

Loneliness and Aging, an Oregon Humanities Conversation Project

Conversation Project: Loneliness and Aging

April 8, 2024 | 2:00 p.m.
Pine Grove Community House
225 Laneda Ave., Manzanita OR.
Free, no rsvp necessary.

Did you know that Tillamook County has a higher percentage of persons over 65 (28.4%) than does Oregon as a whole (19.2%)? What implications does this hold for the experiences of elders in our community?

Everyone is invited to participate in a discussion of “Loneliness and Aging” at a Conversation Project sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Facilitated by lifelong Oregonian Pamela Slaughter.
***********************************

Loneliness and isolation are common experiences for elderly people, especially for those who do not have nearby family members or who are not computer literate. What do you know about the elders in your life or in your neighborhood? Are they connected to their families in an enriching way? Do they belong to a caring community of some kind? This conversation is for elderly people and people who live near elders or have elderly people in their lives to explore questions, experiences, and obstacles to showing up for elderly people and to generate ideas for connection.

Facilitator Pamela Slaughter is a lifelong Oregonian with varied interests. She retired from her career as an adult protective service investigator for Multnomah County, where she saw firsthand how devastating loneliness and isolation can be. Pamela is the founder and executive director of People of Color Outdoors, a nonprofit designed to help facilitate the reconnection of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to the outdoors. She is the author of the children’s book Hi! My Name is Robin!, published in 2020, which she hopes will encourage families to bird watch together.
