The walk start - ed from the Downtown Fullerton Plaza on Wilshire. This year’s walk raised over $24,000. The walk is organized by local groups including FIMA (Fullerton Interfaith Ministerial Association) and nationally by Church World Service. 25% of the funds raised in the Fullerton walk goes to end hunger locally and the rest is distributed by Church World Service to help provide food, clean water, and resources to help communities around the world. Gayle Blume was the top walker this year raising $1,700 as an individual and her team at the Congregational Church of Fullerton came in with the top group total of $3,477.

  • Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God to Assume
    Introduction THIS BOOK contains a critical study of Aleister Crowley's system of sexual magick and its affmities with the ancient Tantric rites of Kali, the dark goddess of blood and dissolution represented in Crowley's Cult as the Scarlet Woman. It is an attempt to supply a key to the work of an Adept whose vast knowledge of occultism was unsurpassed by any previous Western authority. I have emphasized the similarity between Crowley's Cult of Thelema and Tantra because the present wave of interest in the Tantric System makes it probable that readers will be able to assess more fully the importance of Crowley's contribution to occultism in general and to the Magical Path in particular. As a result of many years' research into obscure phases of occultism I have evolved a method of dream control for contacting extra-terrestrial and non-human entities; this forms the substance of Chapters Six and Seven. This method is described in relation to the mysteries of Kundalini, the supreme magical power symbolized by the sleeping Fire Snake at the base of the spine which, after its awakening, activates the subtle power-zones in the human body. Aleister Crowley, Austin Spare, Dion Fortune and the German occultist Eugen Grosche were among the first Adepts in the West to teach the use of the psycho-sexual energies, the Ophidian Current that informed the most ancient arcana of Africa and the Far East. Although it was Crowley who first integrated this current with the Westem Esoteric Tradition, this was not achieved without some doubtful interpretations of oriental symbolism.

    April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars.

  • DISINTEGRATION Loop 1.1
    SVILOVA | WILLIAM BASINSKI DISINTEGRATION LOOP 1.1 WILLIAM BASINSKI JUNE 18–JULY 31, 2014 www.svilova.org 1 SVILOVA | WILLIAM BASINSKI SCALE BE THY KING: THE BLACK Mirror OF William Basinski By David Keenan 1. Scalle Bee Thie Kynge. There is a magical idea, rarely articulated, that imagination is the world-creating matrix of desire, in other words that imagination is what translates a sensation into a thought. Disintegration Loops, still the central, emblematic work of the artist and composer William Basinski, conflates the biological with the constructed, the historical with the personal, by a creative act of imagination that would attempt to mimic the function of memory via accidental processes of auto-forgetting while connecting it with historical trauma –the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers as a head wound – and romantic portraiture, through the back cover recreation of Henry Wallis’s 1856 painting, The Death Of Chatterton, with Basinski posed as the dead 18th Century English poet, who poisoned himself in 1770, aged 17. Thomas Chatterton’s reputation as a forger of mystical poetry is of note here. From the age of 12 onwards he produced a run of strange, visionary verse that he claimed was the work of a 15th century monk of his own invention, Thomas Rowley. Indeed, a particular adjective, “Rowliean”, has been coined to describe the works of this historical figment, this shade birthed of an intoxicated imagination. Rowley’s verse is difficult, its language being largely derived from Chatterton’s study of the English philologist John Kersey’s Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum, “comprehending a brief explication of all sorts of difficult words”.

  • Simon Finn Music 1969
    Simon Finn Music 1969 - 2014 Excerpt from The Hour Un-Finn-ished business by Steve Guimon Simon Finn has been given another crack at the troubled profession of sing- er/songwriter, his story the stuff of legend: A lone wolf troubadour from the mid-’60s U.K. scene, he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Bert Jansch. The powerful Pass the Distance, released to critical acclaim, seemingly lost for- ever... Since, a new record has surfaced – capturing the past and the present, a seamless transition despite the quarter century Simon Finn has won over fans worldwide – including Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and ex-Blur gui- tarist Graham Coxon – with his passion, his wit and his soul-shaking music. Aside from his solo shows Simon also plays guitar in a band called Current 93, which were the cover story of the July Wire. In 2006 his original album, Pass the Distance, was made in 1969, with David Toop (author of The Rap Attack and Oceans of Sound) and Paul Burwell. It was produced by Vic Keary who ran Mushroom records at the time. His 2007 release, Accidental Life, has also been recorded and mastered by Vic Keary. Playing on it are: Joolie Woods, David Toop, Karl Blake (Lemon Kittens) Keith Godman, with backing vocals from Danielle Dax and Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade). Alex Shoumatoff, contributing editor Vanity Fair “Simon Finn is one of the last old time Sixties singer-songwriters. His songs have words that are actually worth listening to, and his voice is great. He’s a quirky original and the real deal.

Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.

  • Sent a Letter
    March 26, 2020 Dr. Steven Dillingham, Ph.D Director United States Census Bureau Washington, DC 20233 Dear Dr. Dillingham: Given the unprecedented events associated with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we urge you to extend the Census response deadline beyond its currently scheduled conclusion on August 14, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and authorize United States Census Regional Offices to exercise flexibility in the timeline for enumeration in their respective jurisdictions. As our cities continue to dedicate resources to respond to this outbreak and take strong precautionary measures to ensure social distancing, there will be diminished capacity to administer the Census. A Census count under these circumstances would not only fail to properly account for our current population, particularly our most vulnerable residents, but could also have dire consequences for our communities’ public health. Over the past two years, our cities have worked with thousands of community-based and faith-based organizations to develop a wide array of targeted outreach strategies to educate and motivate residents to respond to the 2020 Census. These outreach strategies heavily rely on direct, face-to-face communication and interaction with residents to encourage participation in the Census and overcome barriers to participation that cause many communities to be historically undercounted. With the mandated cessation of all large gatherings and the imposition of social distancing practices, our cities and partners have had to cancel meetings, workshops, community and neighborhood events, as well as a variety of door-to-door canvassing operations. We know that none of these tried and true outreach methods are possible in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that any Census count that occurs without this outreach will cause an historic and extremely damaging undercount.
