I flashed this photo of a car bombing down Knickerbocker Avenue last week, I’ve posted pictures of this short commute from my studio to my apartment before. It’s the end of the night fizzling away after a work day and then studio fumes and loud music. Some kind of weird spaced out state of mind usually.

looking closer i found this…

A short walk from Plaça Catalunya—a locale marking Barcelona’s pulsing city center—and just next to the stark Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) with its crowds of skateboarders and young onlookers, you’ll find the Centre de Cultural Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). Tucked inside the front gates, a handsome courtyard offers an open-air cinema to all those who choose to arrive early for seats. This summer (August 3-August 26), as an extension to its current exhibition on Labyrinths, the CCCB has been offering a free film festival entitled Gandules 2010: Lost, Lost, Lost.

Shaking started, I Na Buwen share of the divorce agreement thin
He had known the derailment, infatuated waiting for the final, after all, wants to divorce his
A friend advised me to grasp evil, but I fear he will break angrily demands a divorce
I love him, willing to save all only
So I waited, I silent, I am happiest faces in front of him
The number of night, he perfunctory excuse not to go
I pretend to believe, but tears wet the pillow …
Shaking started, I Na Buwen share of the divorce agreement thin
Mute the sound, I told him I would not divorce the sake that they
I just do not know do not divorce, their punishment, or my own …

顫抖著手，我拿不穩那份薄薄的離婚協議書
早知道他的出軌，癡心的守候最後他終究還是想要離婚
朋友勸我抓姦，但是我擔心他一氣之下會決裂的提出離婚要求
我愛他，願意作出一切只為挽回
所以我等、我默不吭聲、我在他面前強顏歡笑
多少夜裡，他用敷衍的藉口不歸
而我假裝相信，卻淚濕了枕頭…
顫抖著手，我拿不穩那份薄薄的離婚協議書
啞著聲音，我告訴他我絕對不會離婚去成全他們
只是，我不知道不離婚，懲罰的是他們，還是我自己…

Vast Ice ‘Island’ Breaks Free of Greenland Glacier

• Strong, unpleasant smells. Anyone who has ever owned a cat will recognize the acrid smell of ammonia. If you notice a “cat urine” smell strongly emanating from a nearby building, or notice any other strong chemical smells, it’s unlikely that cats are to blame – especially if any of the following observations coincide with the smell.
• Deliberate attempts to prevent anyone from seeing inside the building. Often the questionable building either has no windows or, more suspiciously, the windows are covered somehow.
• Lots of traffic. A meth lab will have many frequent, brief visits at strange hours of the day, often at night in the hopes that all neighbors are asleep.
• Copious quantities of garbage. A meth labs uses lots of chemicals like stove fuel, white gasoline, ammonia, propane tanks, paint thinner and antifreeze, not to mention cold and diet pills. And equipment like glass containers and tubing is always in use. If your neighbor is careless enough to leave all of the empty containers out on the curb for garbage pickup, then the sheer quantity of trash should make you suspicious. But you should never inspect the garbage yourself; meth lab equipment and waste are extremely hazardous. It’s far more likely that your neighbor will never leave the garbage out at the curb for pickup, but instead always ship the garbage elsewhere so as to avoid detection.
• Secrecy. Whether in an apartment or a house, your neighbor will likely want nothing to do with you. If you’ve tried to interact with your neighbor, but always found yourself talking through a closed or barely cracked door (and notice any other strange activity or smells), the neighbor may be hiding a meth lab from you. However, you must never approach a building or residence where you already suspect meth cooking. Not only might the lab explode, but also the toxic fumes of a meth lab can kill a person.
• Rent paid in cash. If you’re a landlord, a tenant running a meth lab would almost certainly pay rent in cash.
• All this, and then nothing. The cookers often abandon their meth labs, but that hardly means you and other neighbors can breathe a sigh of relief yet. An abandoned meth lab is still a toxic environment containing hazardous, volatile waste.

Meth is typically cooked in a kitchen area or some type of sink area because the process requires lots of water and somewhere to dump waste.

The danger of fire and explosions is always present in meth lab operations. Even after they’re dismantled, meth labs leave toxic chemical dust that can seep into adjacent rooms and neighboring homes. Walls, floors, toys, furniture, ventilation systems, plumbing fixtures and septic systems may require professional decontamination.

Among those at risk of exposure are real estate agents, landlords, property managers, prospective renters and homebuyers, garbage collectors, utility workers, plumbers, social service agents and first responders. About one third of meth lab houses have children living in them. Visitors or neighbors can be put at risk by the poisonous fumes that vent from meth labs, or from the toxic cooking debris that is sometimes buried outside or flushed into the septic system. Each pound of meth produced generates approximately six pounds of toxic residue.

A Séance Procedure
Compiled by Mark Mirabello, Ph.D.,
Professor of History at Shawnee State University
The Séance
Ghosts are harmless. There is nothing to fear. If an entity is perceived, simply view it as
evidence of an afterlife, that the dead are alive.
Contact
Contact may occur in various ways. Most commonly, if the procedure is successful, the
ghost will appear in a dream of someone who sleeps in the house tonight.
Sometimes, however, direct contact during the actual séance is possible. The spirit may be
perceived through any sense. A scent (the sense of smell is the most emotive of our senses)
is the most common contact. The next most common manifestation is through the sense of
touch (a cold spot may be perceived, most commonly from the left side). The third most
common manifestation is through the sense of hearing (a sound or a voice). The rarest
contact is visual. We will see a light or an apparition.
Of course, a spirit may be present and be unknown to us. There are signs, however. When
a candle flame burns blue, a spirit is present. Also, if a hound appears agitated, a ghost is
present. (Dogs are sensitive to ghosts, whereas cats are sensitive to demons.)
Helpful Conditions
To contact a spirit, certain conditions are helpful. Spirits are most visible at night. In
occult lore, the moon is older than earth and is dead. The moon is a giant luminescent
corpse in the sky, and it exerts a powerful influence of death on the earth.
The presence of moving water-a stream or falling rain (especially with lightning)–is
helpful. Strong emotions-especially anger and terror-draw spirits. A drop of fresh blood
also draws spirits (in contrast, menstrual blood draws demons). Quartz attracts spirits
(but metal-especially iron and steel-repels them). The presence of spiritually sensitive
people-especially women and children-also helps open the portal to the other world.
Our Technique
The technique we will use is from ancient Greece, with some later Christian additions.
Four people-or six or more-will sit around a wooden table. We may not use five people, for
Christ was murdered with five wounds, and five-symbolized by the pentagon and the
pentacle (the five-pointed star)–draws sinister forces. (The victims of Jack the Ripper-in
19th century London-were positioned to form a huge pentagon in the city.)
The hands of the four must be placed flat on the table, with the little fingers of each hand
touching the hands of the people on either side.
In the center of the table we will place a clear glass bowl filled with olive oil. A single drop
of fresh blood-drawn from the finger of a volunteer–will be placed in the oil. During the
séance, focus on the bowl of oil and blood. (Michel de Nostredame, the famous seer who
was also called Nostradamus, used a bowl of blood and sometimes a bowl of water. The last
was later replaced by an eighteenth century invention, the crystal ball.)
Two candles will be positioned on the north and south sides of the bowl. A bible opened to
1 Samuel, chapter 28 (the text details a communication with a spirit) will be positioned on
the west side. (The west-the point of the setting sun and rising moon-symbolizes the land of
the dead. By positioning a bible there we will draw good spirits). A single piece of quartz
will rest on the open book. On the east side of the bowl, we will place a lily. (The lily is a
flower of death, and the fresh scent will draw good spirits. Vile scents draw demons).
Outside the circle, we will position a bell (this drives away spirits), a steel knife (steel,
especially with an edge, repels spirits), and some rock salt. (Salt thrown into a fire drives
away spirits, including demons). These things will be used to defend ourselves from any
mischievous apparitions.
The Process
During the séance, do not speak. Only the medium will speak. Remain serious and
respectful. Do not laugh. According to legend, the dead cannot laugh with joy and
therefore levity offends them. Do not break the circle by moving your hands. Focus your
attention on the bowl of oil and blood.
Remember, the spirit may be perceived through any sense. Be aware of scents, feelings,
sounds, and sights.
If-at any point-any person present feels anxious-remember, we can protect you with the
bell, the steel, and the salt in the fire.
Closing the Séance
When the medium is finished, she will thank the spirit. She will then close the bible and
extinguish the candles.
Tomorrow-in the light of day-a bell will be rung throughout the house. That will clear the
area of all entities.

A note from his teacher found amidst my friend’s photos from a ninth-grade trip to Mexico in 1990.

It reads:

“Don’t even moan when you hear who your partner is going to be.  I have to verify the source of B.O. before calling the counselor + youre my method.  (My nose is stopped up).  Gracias.  -Destroy this note.”

He who in his shadow saw his soul, fleeting

In a river, bestride the dawdling cloud,

As men were known to think, once

Upon a strident, earnest time—

And I who see my soul, and ours,

In the whole of what’s around,

Can I be headed else

Than where some noble Indian—

According to his code, comported

All his life in line

For fear some heathen god

Would strike him down—landed

Finally one day,

Years and years past brushing close

With death whose reach he always just outstripped,

One morning smelling fate about him,

Unquicked for one half-instant, heaven-blest,

And was by creeping viper bit

Who slid along beside his grassy mattress,

And contented then, breathless

Let his shadow vanish under rock?
