China: I'll Take You There.....Flowing Waters Never Stale.
2009-04-13 04:25:00 One of the best/worst things about this blog is that just about every book that comes out on China finds its way to my desk, gratis. Most sit on my credenza for a few weeks, and then get moved to my bookcase, where I look at them from afar. I'm planning to read all of them eventually, but, you know....life just always seems to get in the way. It has taken me forever to read the book, Flowing Waters Never Stale, by Mark Anthony Jones. On the one hand, I really wanted to read the book because Mark is a long time China Law Blog reader and a very thoughtful commenter here. On the other hand, I worried his book would be too intellectual and since it is subtitled, "Journeys Through China," I thought it would be too much the travel book. So it sat. But I spent most of this weekend at the office on a big project and I started reading it as a diversion and I ended up hardly putting it down until I finished it. I wish I had read it sooner because I actually really liked it. It ...

It's the Birthday of Muddy Waters
2009-04-04 10:00:00 Happy birthday to the Godfather of the blues Mr. Muddy Waters, he was born in Rolling Fork, Mississippi in 1915. According to Muddy his grandmother gave him the nickname of Muddy Waters because he liked to play in the muddy creek near his house. He learned to play the blues by listening to other Mississippi Delta blues musicians such as Son House and Robert Johnson. He worked on the farm and drove a tractor during the week, but he started to perform at juke joints, fish fries and parties on the weekends.He was one of the blues musicians that was recorded by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress. When Muddy heard himself on Lomax's recordings he thought that he might have a chance making it as a professional musician. He is reported as having said, "Man, you don't know how I felt that afternoon when I heard that voice and it was my own voice." In May of 1943 he moved from Clarksdale, Mississippi, to Chicago, Illinois. As the legend goes Muddy only took a suit of clothes and...

Muddy Waters - The Complete Plantation Recordings [1993]
2008-06-25 09:12:00 This is a treasure trove for the Muddy Waters fan, for the blues historian, for the country-blues enthusiast. Alan Lomax, searching for Robert Johnson (recently deceased), came through and recorded a young McKinley Morganfield. The rest is history. Early versions of future classics can be found on these field recordings from 1941-42, and the guitar and voice that would have unimaginable influence on blues and rock & roll. There's no Chicago yet in these often-scratchy recordings, but if you listen, you can hear where it came from.

Waters & Light Of The Tzohar

Foxnews reports tonight that 38,000 people in 26 Iowa communities have been evacuated from their homes along the Mississippi River. All of this week's watery news follows my Tzohar dream 9 days ago (Friday night, June 6), where we were in an enclosed room rapidly filling with water and in danger of drowning unless I "could really do magic and get us out". We got out in my dream and did not drown, but it seems that Iowa and various other places in the midwest may have become inundated (in consequence to our successful escape? I'm not sure how these psi things work). Also today, Foxnews reports on a teenage girl who survived a lightning strike which connected to her through touching to close an open window - this news event also has synchronicities with my Tzohar dream/vision, where light was coming into alignment with a "window".

2008-06-05 07:24:00 John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) of the Sex Pistols has been accused of beating a female assistant last year. In a lawsuit filed by Roxanne Davis, Lydon is said to have punched her in the face and called her lewd names.Yoko Ono and sons Sean and Julian will continue to pursue litigation against the makers of the film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed for their use of the song Imagine. On Monday, a lower court refused to order the song pulled from the film, so Ono has decided to appeal, saying "It is a pity that this decision weakens the rights of all copyright owners. One of the most basic rights I control by reviewing and choosing licences is the right to say 'no'. The filmmakers simply looted me of the ability to do so." Roger Waters will perform with his 31-year-old son Harry and Patti Smith will perform with her 26-year-old son Jackson at the Cries from the Heart: Tyranny show in London on Sunday. The show will raise money for the Human Rights Watch charity. Microsoft has rele...

We've been playing nine songs off it, which is 28 minutes or something, so there's a lot of space for us to do stuff from all through our career."

When your waters break early (preterm prelabour rupture of membranes) PROM
2008-04-27 23:25:00 How will I know if my waters have broken? You may notice a ?gush? of fluid or you may feel damp. The fluid (known as amniotic fluid) is a clear or pinkish colour. It may be slightly blood stained. The amount of fluid you lose may vary from a trickle to a gush. This usually happens once labour has started. If it happens between 24 weeks and 37 weeks, it means that your waters have broken earlier than normal. Two out of every 100 women (2%) experience this during pregnancy. Breaking of the waters is also known as rupture of the membranes. If your waters break early, it is also referred to as preterm prelabour rupture of membranes. What should I do? If you think that you are leaking fluid from the vagina, it is advisable to wear a sanitary pad (not a tampon) and monitor the colour and smell of the fluid, as well as how much is leaking. Sometimes the leaking fluid is urine. Leaking urine can be normal during pregnancy. Leaking amniotic fluid smells different from the smell of urine....
