19-Pound Baby Is Born
A woman in Indonesia has given birth to a baby boy who weighed in at a staggering 19.2 pounds and 24.4 inches long. The child, Muhammad Akbar Risuddin (Akbar means "big"), was born by caesarean section on September 21 at a public hospital in North Sumatra province.
"This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of his mum's womb. His legs were so big," Dr. Binsar Sitanggang told Agence France Presse. The child is healthy, although he did initially receive oxygen for breathing problems. "He's got strong appetite, every minute, it's almost non-stop feeding," Sitanggang added. "This baby boy is extraordinary, the way he's crying is not like a usual baby. It's really loud."
Sitanggang thinks the boy grew so large because his mother, who is 41, had diabetes, a dangerous condition since the pregnant woman's high glucose level means the fetus can receive too much glucose and grow abnormally large.

Cadillacs in the Sky and Drawing on Sunday
Before I get to the Weekend Happenings I want to welcome 3 new additions to the Link List
Welcome to :
Blues Boulevard Jazz - Downtown Spartanburg
Kate McAninch - Pottery, Jewelry and Specialty Items
Stacey Rene Hettes - Burnt Earth Pottery
Welcome to you all....check their sites out....
and Now
Cadillac Sky @ The Showroom
Friday, September 18th
9pm
Tickets: $15 advance/door
"Original", "innovative", "fearless", "ambitious", "propulsive", "a marvel of emotion and razor sharp focus"....these are the words of those that have had a chance to hear the sound that for the past several years has been reverberating out of Texas from one of American music's most compelling bands, Cadillac Sky.
Their music has been coined everything from "experimental acoustic music" to "psychobilly bluegrass" but they themselves, simply hope they just make "good" music. With an admitted dose of naivety, they simply choose to believe that there should be only two categories in which music should be placed: good and bad. "We try to make music we believe in and would like to listen to".Belying their bluegrass instrumentation that imitates that of the original "Bluegrass Boys", their music looks as much to Radiohead and the Beatles for inspiration as it does to Bill Monroe.
The 14 original songs, all written by the band, on their stellar sophomore release for Skaggs Family Records, "Gravity's Our Enemy", embody this ideal. Take for example a song like “My Precious Waltz/I Hate How Happy She Is.” It begins with long mournful notes from the emotional violin of Ross Holmes accompanied by the eery whistle of a musical saw, sounding almost like Andrew Bird or gypsy-punkers DeVotchKa, before the virtuositic banjo-picking of Matt Menefee suddenly kicks in and the passionate wail of lead singer Bryan Simpson begins heaping scorn on an ex-lover as the merciless groove supplied by Andy "The Panda" Moritz's upright bass leads everyone around. But somehow even though they draw inspiration from many far-reaching corners of creativity they manage to create a sound that is completely Cadillac Sky.
A sound that rejects the straitjacket of labeling and instead looks to make transcendent music and ultimately to paint its masterpiece.But that being said, the boys ever-increasing following solemnly attests to the fact that the ferocity and grace that are the staples of Cadillac Sky are best understood when witnessed first hand. Folkwax wrote about a recent live performance " they completely blew me away, they were jogging around on the top of their strings, sniffing out new territory with rampant curiosity." Obviously, the relationship between artist and audience can change from night to night. But it does not take even the most lethargic of audiences long to be propelled to their feet with enthusiasm once they start to feel the transfer of honest energy that occurs everytime Cadillac Sky takes the stage. "We try to have every show be it's own entity. We want every show to be live, literally.
We want the audience to see the show breathing in front of their eyes. So although we use a lot of detailed arrangements, we leave plenty of room in our songs for improvisation. I think early on in each show the audience recognizes their witnessing something that may never happen again, and that's pretty cool." And with recent addition, David Mayfield, whose guitar playing and vocals have shared the stage with such musical luminaries as The Avett Brothers and The Black Keys, and whose stage persona is perhaps quantified best as a poetic-demolition derby, the band has pushed past the boiling point.
The five sincere young men that make up Cadillac Sky, Bryan, Matt, Ross, Panda, and David, realize that people remember moments...when they look back on their life, they will not remember the days, but the moments in their life. Cadillac Sky is a musical unit that strives with every note recorded, every show performed, to create moments that will be remembered and music that will last.

Happy Anniversary Art Walk
I realize this is a Little Late in the Day..but....( also..see below for another event )
Art Walk ( 1 Yr Anniversary )
September 17, 5 to 9 p.m.
Kicking off a whole new season, Art Walk Spartanburg, returns on Thursday, September 17, from 5 to 9. Please join us as we celebrate our first year of Art Walk, and walk the streets of Spartanburg! Maps will be available at the galleries to help you plot your course.
MYST, 154 West Main Street, is hosting an opening reception for Page J. Davis from 6:30 to 9:00. Her improvisational, abstract paintings combine disparate images gleaned from memories and voiced through color, form and line.
Carolina Gallery is showing a collection of landscapes, figure and still life paintings, as well as sculpture and jewelry by the artists they represent. In the street level exhibition space there are one or two paintings by several artists, whose work can be see in greater depth on the second and third floors.
Spectrum, at 151 West Main Street, is able to offer gift buyers another opportunity to purchase items from the former shop at the Spartanburg Art Museum. In addition there is a wide selection of truly affordable framed prints. There really is something for everyone, and you might want to think "Christmas."
HUB-BUB, 149 S. Daniel Morgan Avenue, will present Art Talk at Art Walk at the Showroom @ 7 p.m. with some of the artists from the current show "Drawn Together." The exhibit features the work of three couples, Ashley Holt & Melissa Earley, Annie Koelle & Chris Koelle and JJ Ohlinger & Darlene Fuhst. Drawn Together consists of watercolors, paintings, drawings, beadwork and digital images.
The "Artists Among Us" project is featuring additional photographs at its new, expanded location at 121 West Main Street. This exhibit is only open on the night of the Art Walk, so don't miss out! Come on by to see how many artists you recognize.
At the Chapman Cultural Center on East St. John Street, The Spartanburg Art Museum is hosting "The 36th Annual Artists' Guild of Spartanburg Juried Exhibition." There are sixty-five select pieces of art from across the region. In addition, the exhibit "From Decoration to Passion, Selections from the Heavrin Collection" will feature works by Henry Gasser, Alice Ravenel Huger Smith and Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, among others. The Artists' Guild Gallery exhibit is titled "Portraits in Wax: Incaustic Paintings" by Teresa Prater.
At 172 East Main Street, The Crescent Gallery is hosting an opening reception for Richard Oversmith in "Southlands and Still Lives."
A brand new location, 201 Broad Street at the Broadwalk Shoppes, photographer John Byrum will be showing "American Natural Wonders."
Gallery 155, at 155 East Broad Street features rotating exhibitions. If you haven't visited this one, make sure you drop by.
Art Walk Spartanburg is your chance to stroll with friends or meet new ones, while enjoying what this great art city has downtown. Make your plans to check us out every third Thursday of the month.

On September 11th, 2001 America was Attacked.
Today is the Anniversary of the attacks. I ask all who read this pause for several Moments of Silence. and during that time Please Pray for America. Pray for Firefighters, All First Responders , the Fallen Heroes of that Tragedy and your Friends and your Family. And Above all that God Continues to Bless America.

God Bless America

God bless America
Land that I love.
Stand beside her,

From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam.
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America
My home, sweet home.

No Weekend Plans? Try These Ideas
Floating Action - 9/11/09 - Friday
9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
$8 advance/$10 door
Seth Kauffman’s 2006 debut and 2007 follow-up left critics drawing comparisons as diverse as Motown to the Carribean, Kauffman returns as Floating Action. This April, Park The Van Records released Floating Action’s self-titled debut, and Kauffman’s most accomplished work to date. Once again Kauffman has performed and recorded virtually every note himself at his home studio, and – in an age where obsessive computer editing and auto-tuning are taking the humanity out of even most home recordings – once again his refreshingly organic approach to making music is receiving rave reviews: “.. invokes those classic, soul staples of deep and penetrating bass lines, simple but ideal and perfect lyrics about the troubles of love and jingling guitars. He gives you the jitters and the absolute sway is all his." -Daytrotter

Yes the Day Brings Strange Things...Like...Me back posting Blogs...SUPRISE!!! I found this on the net...Its Interesting....
Why Is the Date 09-09-09 So Special?
September 9, 2009, or 09-09-09, is the last set of repeating, single-digit dates you're likely to see in your lifetime. The next one is on January 1, 2101 or January 1, 3001 for the real purists. And while there really isn't anything all that special about the symmetrical date, historians and numerologists say it has a powerful significance.
LiveScience.com collected the following fun facts to know and tell:--Numerologists say the number nine is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success, as well as arrogance and self-righteousness.--Sept. 9 is the 252nd day of the year. What happens when you add those numbers? 2+5+2=9 (Spooky, huh?)--In China, nine is lucky where it is associated with long life. Nine is prominently featured in architecture and royal dress, typically in the form of nine fearsome dragons. The palace complex at Beijing's Forbidden City is rumored to have been built with 9,999 rooms.--The opposite is true in Japan, where nine is a homophone for suffering. It is considered a very unlucky number, second only to the number four, which sounds like death. Many Japanese will not stay in hotel rooms or hospital rooms with the number nine.
Greek mathematician Pythagoras noted the number nine's special properties:--The sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.--Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
