An article about Bjarte Engen Vik

Terry Valderas aka DJ Stretchy aka VERNIXX was born in San Francisco and raised in Texas. He grew up listening to progressive rock like E.L.P., Yes, Gentle Giant, & King Crimson along with early punk like Wire, The Clash, Talking Heads, & The Ramones. Learned musical notation, composition, and classical percussion in public school as well as through private tutoring.

As a teen-ager, formed the seminal Fort Worth improvisational/psychedelic/progressive rock group E.S.P. in the late 80's with best friends from school. They played underground illegal clubs, warehouse "raves", and happenings which they organized. After much local notoriety, many parties, & lots of shows, the band splinters to his dismay. Undaunted, was immediate grafted into the original line-up of legendary Dallas aggro-rock band THE TOADIES in 1989. They played the big shows as openers. Moved into headlining slots locally very fast. They flirted with record labels. Played their first out-of town shows. In 1990, was extracted for lifestyle differences with them, while they go on to national chart action.

Disillisioned with rock music & the lifestyle, moved to Portland Oregon for five years. Watched grunge hit, saw indy-rock sprout...but was musically-bored. Switched to electronic-based music in 1994 after hearing the first Underworld singles and seeing San Francisco's Wicked DJ's (Garth, Marky, & Jeno). Learned electronic production and DJ skills at once! Co-managed Portland (and now legendary) DJ TONY RUIZ while learning the industry & dance scene. Then, his life literally fell apart and he knew he must find his way back to his roots, sadly leaving the love of his life behind.

After serious lifestyle revelations, he abruptly moved back to Texas in 1997. Met his future Wife. Reconnected with his old friends. Began his life again. Formed two new bands at once. First was THE GIDEONS...a garage-punk expolsion of sound, attitude, and mayhem. They stormed the Fort Worth scene, drank lots of adult beverages, and never failed in having a total blast on stage. THE GIDEONS played on through 2001 and won a legion of fans and hecklers. He also simultaneously formed Fort Worth's hugely popular trip-hop band PARASITE LOST with old & new friends. Stormed the Dallas/FT Worth music scene, won awards, made recordings; got hyped beyond belief. Flirted with labels. Played the big venues. Ate from the VIP deli tray. Then, egos took hold and the band broke-up...after a brilliant 1998-1999 run.

He also DJed at many many raves playing Hard House, Techno, Trance, and Nu-NRG as well as Drum & Bass in the Southwest US as DJ STRETCHY from 1997-2002. He recorded three EP's of electro-pop-noise-goth-techno rock as STRETCHY from 1999 to 2001. He felt the call of the solo beast and took the charges...

Moved to North Carolina in 2002. Co-Hosted Saturday night hard dance/drum & bass show RPM on WZMB FM, Greenville (2002-2003). Began recording "high energy" dance-music hybrids as VERNIXX in 2002. Released an 80-minute album of techno/noise/intelligent beat called "Fused Music" as THE GOLDEN TALISMEN.

Moved to Oklahoma in early 2004. Continued the VERNIXX profile, gaining international DJ play, radio airplay, club rotation, and success. THE GOLDEN TALISMAN profile became TERRY VERNIXX in early 2005 and began anew by tailor making music for magick rituals, esoteric film soundtracks, and psychedelic fireside dancing. VERNIXX signed to new House label URBAN FLUX in 2005 and is promoted in Europe by Aftershock Records. He continues to DJ and produce House music in 2006.

In 1860 in Orange, Massachusetts, chair manufacturers Thomas H. White and William L. Grout realized that there was a future in sewing machines. They had $350, three employees, a lathe, a planer and a drill press. With these, they began manufacturing “New England” model sewing machines, making 6 at a time and then loading them onto a horse-drawn wagon to be sold door-to-door for $10 each.

Over the years, the company grew and gained investors. In 1867 it was incorporated as the “Gold Medal Sewing Machine Company” under Andrew J. Clark and John Wilson Wheeler. A decade later, they began production on what would become their flagship model, the patented “New Home” machine. By 1870, it was being marketed and sold worldwide. On the basis of this success, the company was renamed the “New Home Sewing Machine Company” in 1882.

Throughout the following decades, the company continued to produce the New Home and other models, using assembly line techniques to produce 500 machines a day in 1884. They added woodworking and needle manufacturing facilities to their plant, and by 1907, production was up to 150,000 machines a year. The company now had 743 employees, and Mr. Grout held numerous patents for sewing machine parts and manufacturing techniques.

In the 1920’s, the company began to experience financial difficulties, which eventually led to the decision in 1930 by the board of directors to sell the company to a competitor, the “Free Sewing Machine Company.” The entire contents of their plant were moved to Illinois, where some New Home models continued to be manufactured. In 1937, it was estimated that over 7 million New Home sewing machines were in use worldwide.

Detailed company history is available via the International Sewing Machine Collectors Society website, New Home page: http://www.ismacs.net/nh/home.html The above proposed entry is a greatly condensed & summarized version of that information, and was written by me for display with an antique sewing machine owned by my parents.

Year of the Boomerang

According to Frantz Fanon, the third phase of violence in the Algerian War but also in any colonial occupation. The Year of the Boomerang is the point where the violoence of the aggressor turns on him, yet the oppressor does not understand the process; he knows no more than he did in the first phase when he launched the violence. Because the oppressed are always defensive and the oppressor always aggressive, the oppressor is surprised when the people turn back on him with the force he has used against them.

Najmeh Najafi was a social aid worker in Iran. Born in Tehran, she went to college in the United States. While there, she told author Helen Hinckley about her childhood, which resulted in the writing and publication of the book Persia is My Heart in 1953. She then moved back to Tehran, working to help small villages achieve financial independence. She mainly worked in the village of Sarbandan, trying to help the village set up a small carpet and clothing factory. Her hope was that all of Iran's small villages would have their own business co-operatives, which would bring steady income to the poorest citizens of Iran. She eventually wrote two more books describing her life and work, Reveille for a Persian Village (1960) and A Wall and Three Willows (1967).
