When Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed a known Sex Work Supremacist to Chair the California Massage Therapy Council, did he open the doors for the largest sexual harassment lawsuit of all time???

Isn't that kind of like appointing David Duke to Chair the NAACP?

In my application to the School of Law at JFK University, I point out the fact that while Carol Leigh is frequently cited as the creator of the terms, "sex work" and/or "sex worker", I coined the term "sex work supremacist"... 

So the next time Fox News or MSNBC interviews Carol Leigh, I hope they will use the "politically correct" term "sex work supremacist" to decribe Carol Leigh, her philosophy, and her work,

as opposed to the ludicrous phrase used by Bill O'Reilly "Advocate For Sex Worker Rights"... If Carol Leigh was a true advocate for Sex Workers in any way whatsoever, her #1 concern would be Gun Rights for Sex Workers...

Also included in my Application to the School of Law at JFK University, I point out that the Chair of the California Massage Therapy Council, Beverly May, has in fact demanded that I help her use Massage Therapy as a front for promoting prostitution.

Who is Ken Zankel?

Past President, Golden Gate Restaurant Association

Ken Zankel is passionate about San Francisco restaurants. A native New Yorker,

he switched coasts more than a decade ago and has firmly entrenched himself

in the restaurant community here.

After working at Visa USA as the Director of Restaurant Industry Marketing, Ken

opened Zinzino Ristorante in San Francisco in 1995. Ken garnered accolades for

Zinzino from the James Beard Foundation, the San Francisco Chronicle and the

San Francisco Examiner before selling the establishment in 2001. In 1999, he

opened The Grove Café on Chestnut Street, which was joined by its sister

establishment, The Grove-Fillmore, in 2002. These two restaurants represent the

combining of Ken’s great loves -- music, food, and design – to create warm,

inviting, rustic, hip environments.

Ken has served on the GGRA Board since 1999 and relishes the opportunity to

serve the city’s restaurateurs. An alumnus of Skidmore College, Ken also holds an

MBA from Columbia University.

---

Zankel’s bequest to Skidmore of $46 million is the largest gift in the College’s history. Of the bequest, $15 million went to the Arthur Zankel Music Center

Zankel served on the board of directors of Citigroup, Travelers Property-Casualty, and other corporations, and was a trustee of the UJA Federation, the New York Foundation,

Carnegie Hall, and Skidmore College. He and his wife, Judy, made a major donation to Carnegie Hall, which led to the construction of a new Carnegie concert space named in their honor.

Zankel’s connections to Skidmore were many. Two of his four sons graduated from Skidmore, Kenneth in 1982 and James in 1992, as did a nephew, Harun Zankel, Class of 2001,

and a daughter-in-law, Pia Scala Zankel, Class of 1992. As a Skidmore trustee, he was known for his astute leadership of the board’s investment committee—particularly for his role

in shepherding the College’s endowment—and for his incisive contributions to discussions, frequently enhanced by his sense of humor.

Zankel endowed a professorship in management and the liberal arts and the related Zankel Lecture Series, which fosters discussion of business issues from a societal and ethical perspective.

The passing of Dr. Richard E. Erhard, PT, DC

A memorial service was held at the University of Pittsburgh on October 16 2009, attended by many past presidents of AAOMPT and friends. NAIOMT sent flowers and condolences to his wife and family.

At the AAOMPT conference in Washington DC, October 17th, friends and AAOMPT’s founding members paid tribute to this great physical therapist and read a tribute from Freddy Kaltenborn.

We also learned that Dick’s family was amazed by the outpouring of tributes from around the country and around the world.

They knew him primarily as the man who loved to be home with his family, and to go fishing and hunting.

Sincerely,

Ann Porter Hoke on behalf of the NAIOMT Board of Directors.

How many known prostitutes and/or advocates for using "Massage Therapy" as a front for promoting prostitution are currently on the California Massage Therapy Council???

I count 5, at a bare minimum.

A brief comment... Thursday Oct 29, 2009 Updated 10:40 AM PT...

I'm thinking about how Erica told me that she had never met her father, and that her fears of abandonment, of being alone, are some of her many "issues".

Orlando told me that somewhat recently Erica and her father had some sort of contact, or chance at contact, but that Erica's father flaked out.

I feel so sad for Erica sometimes.

I first fell in love with Erica as she stood with two of the girls she used to be a nanny for (this is the job she left so she be near me). 

I first fell in love with Erica in "mother" mode...

Very Good News!  February 20, 2010 my Transunion, Experian, and Equifax credit reports for Sallie Mae all stated:

Status: Open/Never late. - and my credit scores were updated high enough

to where I could realistically consider returning to graduate school...

TransUnion  Experian  Equifax       788     776      783

After over a year of trying to get someone at Sallie Mae, Transunion, etc. to recalculate the obvious mistakes on my account which had

destroyed my credit and nearly made me homeless, someone listened!

(actually, this response is quite prompt when compared to the fact that the American Massage Therapy Association has NEVER returned my phone calls.  I've been waiting since 2003...)

---  

The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences was founded by Stanley Paris, who was born in Dunedin, New Zealand on August 13, 1937. 

Stanley Paris was appointed to the New Zealand Olympic Team as a physiotherapist for the Summer Games in Rome in 1960, and Mexico City in 1968.

In 2006 Stanley Paris received the highest honor awarded annually by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) in delivering the 37th Mary McMillan Lecture.   

So the two famous former residents of New Zealand I have met with are Stanley Paris and Tim Barnett. 

I recall that while it is true that my reasons for withdrawing from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences were due to my disappointment with the quality of instruction provided,

I was also unhappy with a dress-code policy of the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences ruling that male students were not allowed to wear earrings on campus. 

It's true I rarely wear earrings these days, but it is also true that both my ears are pierced. 

I was wearing earrings in both ears when I met Tim Barnett, in fact.

Life Chiropractic College West has pictures of males wearing earrings in it's public relations materials, and allows male student interns to wear earrings in it's Health Center.  

All I want to do right now is go back to graduate school... business? law? chiropractic? acupuncture? naturopathic medicine (including midwifery)? psychology? art? writing?

Would I consider going back to the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences and completing the clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy,

particularly now that they have a campus in San Diego?  (Last time I wrote them, they returned my letter unopened.)

I wish I could find sponsorship of some kind...

Is business booming?

How is business over at Ferrari and Maserati of San Francisco (which is not in San Francisco, but Mill Valley) these days?

One of my coworkers, a graduate of one of the "best" massage schools in Illinois, told me she was astonished by some work I did with her shoulders, saying it was the best massage she'd ever had in her life. 

...

Why did Nathan Dorris try to run me over with his car?

Why do we sometimes care so deeply about symbols, words, flags, jewelry, etc.? 

Why did Erica O'Connor keep the three teddy bears and three satin roses that I gave her the first time I asked her to marry me, in the College of Marin parking lot

 after her performance in A Midsummer Night's Dream, instead of returning them, as Nathan promised?

Why did she keep the collage I made for her, a collage very much about our relationship?

(Items returned by Nathan Dorris with this note included: Bizarro! The Art & Technique of Special Make-up Effects by Tom Savini,

a pair of leopard-print fuzzy Sanita clogs, even obscure items, like a scrap of paper with my phone number on it, but for some strange reason, no collage, no satin flowers, and no tiny teddy bears...)

Why did I mail a postcard to Nathan Dorris, a collage made from his own handwriting, saying, "please return everything boyfriend"?

Why did Erica buy me chicken soup and organic fair-trade flowers from Whole Foods? 

Why did Erica lie, lie, and lie yet again about me?

Why did Erica give me a copy of "The New Erotic Photography" (edited by Dian Hanson and Eric Kroll, published by Taschen in 2007),

and refuse to take it back when I tried to return it to her?

Who is the model on page 449, photographed by George Pitts?

The collage I gave Erica, which she kept, included a receipt from Earthworks in Santa Rosa:

1" 14K White Gold Tiny Butterfly Necklace  $370.00

10% Discount (because my best friend's wife was the salesperson)  -$37.00

$370 - $37 = $333

Why does University of British Columbia law professor Benjamin Perrin and the Vancouver Courier openly, aggressively, and proudly cover-up males trafficked into the sex trade, while simultaneously asking Craigslist to stop listing erotic services???

(It's important to give the above comment a personal perpective.  My first rented apartment in San Francisco was across the street from Golden Gate Park, about a block from the University of San Francisco on Fulton.  The entire building was a completely illegal remodel designed to exploit poor renters.  There were eighteen residents.  The landlord lived alone on the top floor, and habitually brought home young Asian boy prostitutes.  When I say "boy", I mean "boy".  Tell me Professor Perrin hasn't seen the same thing...)

'Hymns Of Faith' by Crisis is finally re-released after some thirty years and yet it seems like only yesterday that I bought it upon its release. For thirty years, I have championed Crisis, like some kind of leper in the musical wilderness. I still cannot believe that La Vida Es Un Mus finally heard me. Very few records deserve the tag of classic, but 'Hymns Of Faith' is a classic record! Recorded by a band that was in the throes of death, this mini-LP features seven tracks of political punk (although some would describe it as post punk, an insult of the worst kind), covering the political spectrum from the Italian Red Brigades to the Kanada Kommando of Auschwitz. The LP may have lacked the bite of the earlier singles, but 'Hymns' was innovative and original, and has never been bettered, yet alone equalled. Forget 'Killed By Death', this my friends is the real deal! After Crisis, Douglas P and Tony Wakeford formed Death In June and Luke Rendall joined Theatre Of Hate. Kneel and bow in reverence to 'Hymns Of Faith'!

NER MAIL ORDER IST KAPUT!

After over 25 years I've decided to close NER Mail Order.

The advent of the internet and the flourishing of online stores that deal more comprehensively with selling the Death In June and associated catalogue has made this once very important venture now redundant.

The fact that Death In June releases are now issued from anywhere except England is also a contributing factor. It makes no financial or logical sense to send stock of titles to England (or Australia!) only to be sent on elsewhere in the World when people can easily order direct from the original source in America, Portugal, Belgium etc.

The establishment of the NER mail order service in the 1980s was fundamental to the establishment of Death In June itself. It provided a much needed service to a hungry and very enthusiastic and interested audience that wasn't really being catered for. But, gone are the days when I would be crawling into bed at 2 - 3 in the morning after having first cleared it of the overflow of orders waiting to be packed and taken in their sackloads to the local Post Office the next day. In fact, I haven't personally dealt with the bulk of it since 1997. 13 years on it's time to put the final nail in its coffin.

I'd now like to thank and say "Heilige!" to all those who have helped with and run NER Mail Order over these long years: JRP, Jack Collyer, D. Roehm, Keith Hinton, Peter Winkworth, John Rawlston, Peter Lane and, of course, Ian Read.

The BM June address in London remains the main business address to send letters, gifts, birthday cards, death threats etc to.

The future of the much loved promotional postcards is still being thought about and if one is sent out for the forthcoming Death In June - PEACEFUL SNOW album it will possibly be the last one.

Festivals End As Festivals Must!
Heilige!
