![]() I smile now and I think of that special time and the running community that existed and thrived then. The debutante young runner full of piss and vinegar went down in flames and drowned his sorrow in cola, champagne and beer. “Hodgie you okay?” “Fishman, I need a Coke a Cola brother but first I got to rest a bit I am wambled.” Someone screaming as they have a horrible blister lanced and the blood flows freely ya musta got lost, musta got shot it’s a freaking war zone in here. In all the hubbledebub I lay on a cot in a parking garage smelling oil and vomit drinking some foul warmish water and trying to gather enough strength to get up and head outside where a friend was awaiting me.

![]() ![]() By healing ends with regular trims and creative techniques, as well as softening hard lines with purpose built tools, even the most compromised platinum locks can look soft and polished,” says Linares. “With dramatic color being at the forefront of current trends, chemically processed hair that shows cutting lines and becomes unruly from damage is a daily challenge. Continue in half-inch sections until a visible difference is made, but check the section often to be sure not to take too much off! Be sure to hold the hair with firm tension, as this will not only help the ends “pop up” cleaner, but the rest of the hair will stay tightly wrapped around fingers and not be accidentally cut. Split ends will “pop up” as the hair is rolled over the middle finger. Hold the hair with tension and slowly slide hand out to the ends. Close to the root area, wrap the section flat under the ring finger, over the middle finger, and under the index finger. If the damaged ends are too evenly distributed to selectively cut, isolate distressed hair and section off a half-inch horizontal slice. Particularly on highly processed pale blond hair, where cutting lines can be very apparent, utilizing these tools will diffuse hard edges for a softer finished look. Tools such as these are great for creating shorter lengths within a section for effect, or for selective hair removal within the interior. The Artist Series 6” Slide Cutting Shear features curved blades meant to “push” the hair, creating very soft edges that won’t distress the cuticle of chemically over-processed hair. Due to its unique design, once the cutting teeth have passed through the hair and the shear is closed, there is no exposed blade surface, so you can close the shear inside the section and slide without damaging other hair. The InvisiBlend Shear is a true slide-cutting blending shear. These tools, such as the Sam Villa Signature Series InvisiBlend Shear and Artist Series 6” Slide-Cutting Shear, allow a stylist to softly and selectively remove unwanted hair from the mid-strand out to the ends. Within a section, if the overall length is acceptable but there is damage inside the section, consider cutting from the interior using slide-cutting tools. If possible, use elevation when cutting these sections, it will drop out invaluable length and results in lines that fall softer in the silhouette. Often, we diagnose and cut distressed hair right where it lives, which can easily leave us visible marks in the haircut. However, in many instances where chemical or thermal evidence may be isolated to specific areas, simple cutting techniques may provide temporary solutions,” explains Linares.Ĭategorically speaking, cutting lines in natural fall leave the most weight in a shape. ![]() “In the most extreme cases, damaged hair must be cut away to restore vitality to the shape. Hair with excessive mechanical/thermal damage can also take on these characteristics. When the ends of hair are distressed, they often become unruly - sticking out or feeling overly dry.

Ooga chaka: Which brings us to a singer named Bjorn Skifs and his band, Blue Swede, or Blåblus, as they were known in their homeland. ![]() Lately, he writes on his website, “I’ve had so many E-mail requests asking about the Ooga Chagga chant that I’m devoting a chapter to the explanation in my new book.”Ĥ. He characterized the ooga chagga intro to his “Hooked on a Feeling” much more accurately in his 2009 autobiography, 65 My Life So Far: “Six guys grunting like gorillas.” Credited to the Piglets - three female session singers in their 30s or 40s whom King instructed to sing like 15-year-olds - “Johnny Reggae” at least sounded marginally connected to the genre in the title. That may have been because he cut the track on the same night as a novelty song called “ Johnny Reggae,” which went on to become a sizable hit in the U.K. Ooga chagga: That’s how Jonathan King renders the chant, which, if you remember, he says he came up with in his pursuit of a “reggae rhythm.” And, in a case of closing the circle, his duet partner on that version is singer/actress Sara Niemietz, who first performed the song onstage with Thomas when she was 4.ģ. “I said, ‘How big is this? I don’t know, but I’d buy it.’”Īs for Thomas, he re-recorded the song last year on an unplugged-styled album called The Living Room Sessions. It’s a hit,” is what he recalls telling record executives, in an interview with. Given that the song was written for a woman he went on to marry (and to whom he’s still married), how did James react when first heard those ooga-chakas? “This is a fun record and it’s well-made. Thomas in 1968, “ Hooked on a Feeling” featured a distinctive sitar opening and made the top 5. Pre-ooga: The original, non-ooga “Hooked on a Feeling” was written by Mark James, best known for penning “ Suspicious Minds.” He even recorded his own version of that song, which Elvis Presley covered in almost identical fashion. Their version graced 1972’s Rockin’ (where it was mistakenly credited to Curley Herdman, a Virginia fiddler who did write a song called “Running Bear,” but it was a totally different song, and this is probably too much information, isn’t it?) On their version, the chant more closely resembles “egga hooga,” at least before it all dissolves into (even more) gibberish at the end.Ģ. b) Egga hooga: One of the better covers of “Running Bear” was done by The Guess Who. Just wanted different instruments to make a reggae rhythm and decided on male voices.” (Reggae? More on that later.)ġ. I put this claim to King this week on an online message board on his website, and he was quick to reply. Many sites, including the comprehensive, acknowledge that the Blue Swede version is actually a copy, and go on to state a variation of this sentence: “The first use of the chant in this song, however, was in the 1971 version by the English singer and pop mogul Jonathan King, who added the ‘Oooonga Chackas,’ which were based on the chant in Johnny Preston’s 1959 hit ‘Running Bear.’ ” Whether the “oomba oogas” in “Running Bear” were really the model for the Blue Swede hit is a matter of contention. While Preston handles the vocals, the chanting is done by Richardson and country legend George Jones. Richardson, better known as the Big Bopper. a) Oomba ooga: Often cited as the original inspiration for the Blue Swede version, the “oomba ooga” chant plays a memorable part in “ Running Bear,” a 1959 hit sung by Johnny Preston and written by J.P.

These light and dark areas represent rocks of different composition and ages, which provide evidence for how the early crust may have crystallized from a lunar magma ocean. The dark features, called maria (Latin for seas), are impact basins that were filled with lava between 4.2 and 1.2 billion years ago. The light areas of the Moon are known as the highlands. Plans are now under way for humans to return to the Moon through NASA’s Artemis program. Twelve humans have walked on the Moon (all astronauts in NASA’s Apollo program in the 1960s and 1970s).Some polar craters, darkened by permanent shadows, harbor hidden water ice. Pickering’s observations of the Moon lead to the belief that with such little atmospheric pressure, any ice on the lunar surface would near instantly sublimate. The coldest temperatures in the solar system have been recorded at the Moon’s poles. An open page of astronomer William Pickering’s book The Moon: A Summary of Our Satellite with a Complete Photographic Atlas.Tidal forces, meteoroid impacts, and thermal changes in rock near the surface all trigger seismic disturbances. Compared to Earth, the Moon is a quietly active world. The debris from this impact likely formed the Moon. Evidence suggests that, about 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object crashed into early Earth. 1,079.6 miles 1,737.5 kilometers Mass: 0.0123 of Earths (a bit more than 1 percent) Gravity: 0.166 of Earths (If you weigh 100 pounds (45 kilograms) on Earth, youd weight 16.6 pounds (7. ![]() Without plate tectonics or weather to erase evidence of its past, our closest neighbor in space preserves a record of the geologic history that has shaped our solar system – including our own planet. Earth’s Moon is a cornerstone of planetary science.From Earth, we always see the same face of the Moon because the Moon is spinning on its axis at the same speed that it is going around Earth (that is, it is in synchronous rotation with Earth). Every two weeks, we have to look in the opposite direction to see the Moon, and the ground beneath our feet is then tilted the opposite way as well.The Moon moderates Earth’s wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate over billions of years. The tilted ramp works the same as the tilted “platform” of the Earth beneath our feet. If you turn around, the horizon appears to tilt the opposite way. In front of you, the horizon looks higher on the right and lower on the left. Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees on its axis, which means that when we observe the Moon from Earth, it’s a little like we’re standing sideways on a ramp. The tilt of the Moon’s orbit contributes to this, but it’s mostly due to the tilt of our Earth. ![]() We call this motion “libration in latitude.”įinally, the Moon appears to tilt back and forth like a metronome. The 5 degree tilt of the Moon’s orbit also causes it to appear to nod, as though it were saying “yes.” The tilt sometimes brings the Moon above Earth’s northern hemisphere, and sometimes below Earth’s southern hemisphere, allowing us to see slightly more of the northern or southern hemispheres of the Moon. We call this motion “libration in longitude.” When the Moon is farthest from Earth and orbiting at its slowest, its rotation gets a little ahead, and we see a bit more of its western side. When the Moon is at its closest to Earth and moving most quickly along its orbital path, the Moon itself doesn’t rotate quite fast enough to keep entirely the same side facing us, and we get to see a little more of the eastern side of the Moon. The Moon’s rate of rotation around its own axis, though, always stays the same. Because the Moon's orbit is not perfectly circular, its distance from Earth and its speed in orbit both change slightly throughout the month. ![]() |
