Ok, so I lied, and didn't finish Fat Bug by the end of the weekend. Sue me. Life, and web design got in the way. I guarantee it will be finished sometime this week. To tide you over, Palmer sent in a new "cross over episode" of Necromancer Ned, Ned 17. No I am not sure how this fits in the whole continuim of Palmer's World. Well see ten years from now when we get Crisis on the Infinite Palmer's Worlds. Ok, that might of been a bad idea, I can see his random mind working now.

I spoke with the person who comission the latest painting, and since it is not for him and a gift, he does not mind if I post a few pics of it as I paint it. He has already seen this one, and states "It's Perfect". It is on the left. This of course is much different than what I usually do, but not too different either. I have done a couple of Asian based illustrations in the past, but never a painting. I must tell the person that commissioned this that the wife, friends, and family have seen this and love it, so I might have to put an alarm on it. This has about 1 - 2 hours of work done to it. It right now is all acrylic. I have been looking at Chinese watercolors and Japanese Prints.

As you see below, Malach made a long post about Ryan Jones, the accused murderer of his manager at the Old Country Buffet in Dartmouth MA. There has been some interesting reaction to it so far. Thanks for reading. Additionally, I have heard some more things about the woman killed, that I care not to share right now in this public forum. Again, this case is going to be interesting, and might make national headlines when all the facts come out. Malach is very angry at the whole situation, and of course guilty for that anger because of the death involved.

"The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it." - P.J. O'Rourke
I am Malach and I give you sanctimonious!
Ryan Jones
What led to this?
Now that a bit more has come out about this case, I feel I can now comment on it. Read the latest from today's Standard Times. Before I begin, I need to stress a few things. I know Ryan Jones personally. I have had him as a client; his family are friends with my family; he plays on a Special Olympics Unfied Softball Team with me; I have known him for 12 years; I consider him a friend. I am by no means defending the reprehensible actions he is accused of, actions he understands that are wrong. I also don't want to downplay the death of Valerie Oransky, a woman I also knew through business contacts, charity events, and in my previous profession and a job developer for persons with disabilities. Her family has my condolences.
I will be reposting this at two other blogs. The Bristol MA Free Press (a psuedo news blog centered around Bristol County, MA), and The Wand of Wonder (a multi-contributer, free from blog, with 25 or so members of different backgrounds).
Ryan as stated in the article "was a special needs student". While not getting too much into here personal medical diagnosis (or lack there of), Ryan is a person with disabilities; slight cognitive development issues; and some mental illnesses (probably some undiagnosed). Ryan as a person is very quiet, almost painfully quiet, reserved, and lacking good social and communication skills. He is the type of person, that if you asked him how he was doing, he would respond in a quiet monotone "fine", and not expand on it. It takes him a while to warm up to you, and you need to be very direct and to the point talking with him if you want to find out information from him. He was known to have some anger, and possible explosiveness, but in the decade plus I have known him, I only saw it once, and it was easily redirected by myself. He does not do well with criticism, nor does he like to fail. He is a big guy, around 6', maybe 230lbs. Fairly strong (I have play wrestled with him and played football with him) but not overso. In the field, he would be labelled as "Very High Functioning" and is one of the most capable of the person with disabilities I have worked with. Ryan is one of those clients who falls through the cracks of this state's system, as told in a previous article I wrote.
Ryan graduated school as a 18 year old. In this state that can be the kiss of death for person's with disabilities. Becuase of his intelligence level (high boderline) he did not qualify for DMR services. He also was not "mentally ill enough" to qualify from DMH services. Because he gradutated early (or on time), he lost the chance for some services. He spent next few years floating around until he qualified for CBES services. The plus to CBES is that they are long term services as to opposed to regualar MRC job placement services which last about 6 months (but can be reopened). They pay a hourly rates based upon service hours to the program that is award the contract. Quickly, MRC contracts out assesement, job development, placement, and support services to a local program who is exepected to carry out the needed services. As I stated, most of the time those services are temporary, unless it is a CBES client. Luckily Ryan was one, and even more luckily, Ryan came to my former employer, The Opportunity Center/Work Inc, and worked with me, someone he already knew and trusted. He came into those services sometime around 1999 - 2000.
So Ryan came to be my client. His first year with me was spent assessing his skills, and he was eventually placed in a seasonal job at a golf course, which he more than successfully completed. It was during this time period, Work Inc. absorbed The Opportunity Center (OC). What occured that last year of my employment at the OC was a travesty, and Ryan was part of that. Beyond the acutual destroying of the reputation that we had built up by the OC, other things occured. At that time I was servicing 10 - 15 CBES accounts. Doing all the job counseling, development, and billing. I would bill the local MRC office, and the check would come to the OC. The VP at Work Inc who was responsible for "changing the OC to the Work Inc way", came to visit, and met with me and my boss. She wanted to know, refering to the CBES clients, why I was servicing clients for free. It was pointed out the her, that we were getting an hourly rate, and we were billing locally. Of course they were upset they were not getting the billing, but the contract was specifically for the OC and not Work Inc. The next visit was to complain about the hourly rate. You see MRC CBES contracts are front loaded, you get the higher portion of the contract for the beiginning services. Big money comes first, and then it go down to a $25 hourly rate for long term supports services. Work Inc was not happy with that rate, and compared the DMR clients hourly rate of $60 an hour.
These were two different programs, DMR paid you whether or not the client was even in the program $60 an hour, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, for the entire years. DMR clients also were lower functioning so tended to need longer term and more extensive supports. CBES paid $25 for each hour you spent with the client, minimum of a hour. I was told, that this option was not finacially viable. So imagine this, $25 per hour, from an average of 6 hours per week, for each of 10+ CBES clients. That comes to $1,500 per week. That almost $80,000 a year. Work Inc was at most paying me half (including benefits, mileage, etc.) of that. This does not count the initial payment of $1000's of of dollars per client from vocational training and job develoment. That $40,000 was not worth it? Free money? For at the time a organization that was fincially strapped? Well needless to say, a six months after Malach left Work Inc. for greener pastures, they gradually dropped all the CBES client, including Ryan. Since no one else locally was contracted to do CBES, those clients who could not get other funding, no longer had supports.
So that leaves Ryan, who was now working at Old Country Buffet, with no support. No job coach, no counselor, no ride, no nothing. And here we are 3 years later one person is dead, several lives affected. Ryan is the type of guy to hold his emotions in, he will not actively tell you his problems. He will hold them in until he explodes. Again, if you talk to him and counsel him, this you can get the issues out, this type of behavior can be redirected and you can help solve his problems. He did not have this support any longer. According to his co-workers ha had been talking about killing Ms. Oransky for three weeks. No one informed anyone, or took him seriously? There was no one to inform, he had no support. He might no longer have even been labeled as a person with a disability, there was no longer an association with services. Might the prep cook have told someone who was coming by the work place to support Ryan once a week?
If there were supports, would this have occurred. I cannot say no, but I can tell you this. If Ryan had been saying this for about a month, he might have told me, or another counselor a year ago how unhappy he was. In this field two of the most serious things are suicide ideation and homicide ideation. They will immediatley get the things causing this ideation to stop. I am confident that any decent job counselor would have caught this early, nipped it in the bud, and perhaps Ryan would not have even been working there.
Again, I hate to place the blame on other things . . . Ryan is still responsible for his own actions, but I am very angry, this probably could have been prevented. I am angry that a human service organization (Work Inc.) put money ahead of helping a client. It takes some dying or getting maimed in this state, and the ruining of several lives for the issues to be addressed, and that has become much too common. Ryan will probably end up spending the next few decades at Bridgewater State Hospital. Time will tell. Watch this case, there should be some very interesting things that come out of it.
I am Malach, things need to change.
It's Gonna Be Alright . . .
So Malach might be taking a unpopular stance here.
Malach is going to write a special blog here, at WoW, and the Bristol MA Free Press about Ryan Jones. Again, I have known Ryan for plus 10 years, as both a friend, a supervisor, and counselor. Ryan is a person with disabilities. That does not excuse what he is accused of doing, but there is a lot more to this story that needs to be address, especially about the state of MA human services, a former employer of mine, and thousand of persons like Ryan who fall through the cracks. Again, I do not defend nor excuse the actions, and the Oranski family has my deepest condolences, but I hope some of the light I shed on this will piss you off too. Tomorrow my friends.
Malach just got a phone call . . .
From some schmo named Phillip. I was busy and did not answer but he left a nice 2 minute long message about his excapades with me into the world of gay sex (though he did not mention me by name).

This suspect is one of my former clients, a member of my unfied Special Olympics Softball Team, and a friend. I will comment more on this at WoW in the coming future (I need to protect Ryan's privacy and defense). I do not want to defend Ryan's actions, becuase they are as wrong as it can get, but there are some reasons. That is all I will say on this for now.

About Last Night.
Malach rarely drinks.
But when he does he has a tendancy to overdo it. You see, alchohol. To me alcohol is pretty rediculous. No one drinks it cause it tastes good (although there are some wines and beers, I will drink on occasion just to drink them). When Malach generally drinks, he drinks to get drunk. Again this is maybe 2 - 3 times per year, other than that he is stone dry. This was not always the case, but I am not going to get into college days stories. So on a whim, Malach decided to get drunk with a few friends, and finish draining the keg from the past weekends party. Well Malach over did it, paid for it until about 4PM today (another reason Malach doesn't drink, it wastes the next day). On the plus side, I did get my latest painting finished, and started on a commision. I apologize of course to you guys and anyone else who was at my house that I offended, and don't remember much of the night. I do remember posting here , I don't remember if I went anywhere else while on line and posted anything (again sorry if I did and you did not like it). . . man I am pisspoor typer in that condition.
The Latest Painting.
It is finished. Or it is finished for now. Malach has in the past, months or even years later gone into a finished piece and done more to it. There is not a huge difference between this finished piece and the last time I posted on it. The biggest part I added was the hearts and the heart strings.
So this painting is entitled Kate IV: Past Tense. That is all I am giving for now. I am going to try and do a series of these, same type of subject matter. Guess all you want.
Now the Commission.
Malach has been commissioned to do a rather large wall piece. The only request is that is have some type of Asian theme. The piece itself in 3' by about 5'. Now the person who commissioned this reads this blog, so I am not going to post updates on it regularly, but I will post the finished product. What I know post at left is the intial stage of the piece. It is one piece of cavas, gessoed. Now, I decided to give it an Asian feel by glueing rice and grass paper all over the canvas. Since one was darker than the other, I did a really translucent white wash over the whole thing, and coated it with a satin gloss. Voila! I am looking at a lot of Chinese brush art, and Japanese wall murals. Should be interesting. BTW, you want a commission? Email me.

And it seems the rest of the Middle East hasn't learned from previous modern confrontations with Israel in the past 50 years. And Toyi, please stop with this bullshit about the Children of Israel. Israel is supplied with weapons and technology from both the US and Europe, including nuclear weapons. That is why they can wipe the floor with most of these Arab countries. So what happens now? Unless they can difuse this situation it becomes more of a Middle East vs. the West war. It will be very interesting to see what side place like Egypt and Saudi Arabia align with.

Malach has been contracted to re-do three websites. Complete redo, and contracted to maintain and update them. This one, this one, and this one. Malach is also in negotions to provide the illustrations for a 300 page book on autism and autism program. This means, Malach will be very busy, and Malach is one step closer to becoming a full time artist. Malach also has to do a major update for another client.
This mean of course more delays on JesusMan!, The Wraith, and Fat Bug. I am going to try to finish up the Bug by the end of the weekend.
On the plus side, Malach will be going to a 4 day a week work schedule starting next week, extra day to do this stuff.

My Dirty Weekend.
So where'd Malach go?
Malach went camping for the first time in about 15 years. Not "roughing it" camping in the woods on a mountain, but to a family campground. You see Malach and his family used to camp every weekend give or take a couple at Peter's Pond Park or Maple Park. I have fond memories of treking to both places, and essentially spending long portions of my summer there. Summer friends, romances and hideaways.
So we went to Ellis Haven. Similar to both Maple Park, and Peter's Pond at least as I remember. Had some fun. Some impressions. First, this was the "dirtiest" campsite I have ever been too. I don't mean dirty as in filthy, I mean dirty, and in dirt. This was the only camp ground I have ever been too, that had no pine needles on the ground, it is like they vacummed them up. What was left is the powdery, dry, Cape Cod dirt (those of your that have been to the Cape will know exactly what I mean). And it got everywhere. Also, the sites were very crowded together, and not too private. On the other hand, extremely nice staff, excellent beach. Lots of fun stuff to do.
Some events:
- Malach, being the bastard step son of Bill Dance was the only one to catch a fish, and a pretty decent sized 3 - 4 pound large mouth (good size for MA).
- Malach will NEVER sleep in a tent without some type of mattress again, took me about 1 hour to walk out the stiffness this morn, and my ribs and hips are tender.
- Super Malach saved one of his own kids from drowning.
- On the beach (before the potential drowning), and I am sitting there reading Good Omens. People around got their music, the Soxs game, or the Soccer game going, when suddenly, this loud music takes over the shoreline. It sounds like someone is singing Bob Marley, Karaoke style. Malach looks around, and sees acrooss the pond these two huge black amplifiers. Looking further, there is a bald, middle aged, fat man in a wife beater, with a MIDI mixer, a bass, and a mic, singing covers of Marley, Billy Joel, Jimmy Buffet, and the like. He is playing them all in reggae style, singing them like a lounge singer. It was so awful it was incredible. He is my new god.
- The camper next to us, had a family, from somewhere in Southeastern MA. You could of dropped this family in the middle of the most backward part of Georgia, and they would have fit in, they were funny.
- The camper next to theirs had a woman who was personally trying to bring back 1980's glam metal fashion. I named her "Pour some sugar on me".
- Most weird is this campground had a 2 story sports bar, open all night . . . it was called Campy's.
So, Malach impression of camping now as compared to 20 years ago? Well, everyone has an RV. Pop up's and tents are in the vast minority. It used to be the other way around. I will always remeber at Peter's Pond, right behind the store they had a parking lot of about 10 pay phone booths (yeah were talking early 80's here). If someone needed to contact you, they would call the office and then the office would leave a message for you on the message board, then you called from the payphones. Well everyone has a cell phone now. Camp weekend dances were always so Dirty Dancing . . . they still are.

This one is absolutely funny, I hurt myself laughing. There is also a Angry Piper Remix at the 35 minute mark that is absolutely hilarious. People who heard it have said it is the best one yet.

Malach's Quote of the Day.
Well, they are people, just like us - from within our own solar system. Except that their society is more highly evolved. I mean, they don't have no wars, they got no monetary system, they don't have any leaders, because, I mean, each man is a leader. I mean, each man - because of their technology, they are able to feed, clothe, house, and transport themselves equally - and with no effort...Why don't they reveal themselves to us is because if they did it would cause a general panic. Now, I mean, we still have leaders upon whom we rely for the release of this information. These leaders have decided to repress this information because of the tremendous shock that it would cause to our antiquated systems. Now, the result of this has been that the Venutians have contacted people in all walks of life - all walks of life. [laughs]' Yes. It-it-it would be a devastatin' blow to our antiquated systems - so now the Venutians are meeting with people in all walks of life - in an advisory capacity. For once man will have a god-like control over his own destiny. He will have a chance to transcend and to evolve with some equality for all. - George Hanson

Now that I have coverted the Piper is the world's greatest Tom Waits fan, it is time to move on, on to a band called Ween. Ween is a bit hard to describe. Ween is basically Crap Vacuum is Crap Vacuum had the musical talents of the Beatles. You will see what I mean, as over the next few weeks I will play some rude silly songs, and stuff that will blow you mind. For now, I will ease you into Ween, with what can be termed their only real hit. Push th' Little Daisies, off the album Pure Guava. This song tells you a lot about Ween, and yet tells you nothing.

What I Love about this Country.
What do I love about the good ole US of A? I love the fact you can be anti-American; say anything you want about this country, and it's leaders; post at blog like this; do webcomics like this; burn the flag; and post songs like this one on July 4th. I also like the fact that if you want to be a crazy Jesusfreak; an athiest; a racist homophobe; a nerd; a conservative; a liberal; a Satanist; a pagan; or whatever hell the else you want to be (as long as you are not breaking the law), you can.
That is what makes this country great, that fact that you can get a whole mess of different races, opinions, politics, religions, and social classes under one roof, and debate, protest, yell and scream. This country mostly works this way, and from what I have seen, there are none in the world like it. Even ifnfree parts of Europe you cannot wear traditional Muslim garb, nor talk dispairingingly about the Holocaust.
I love the fact we can debate and argue over whether the Iraq War is correct, whether "In God We Trust" should be on our money, I even love the arguments about putting Creationist Theory in science text books.
USA, I love you so, becuase you let me use you, spit in your face, kick dirt all over your name, and you welcome me back with open arms.

Malach found the most beautiful serene place today.
Malach went for about a hour long walk, and decided to take a walk of Riverside Cemetery. It is down the street from my house. Malach has lived in Fairhaven most of his life. 27 or so of his 34 years. He knows that Riverside is supposed to be beautiful, has some very old, and some fairly famous graves. Never been. Well, I must say, beautiful 14 acre site, mostly wooded. It was like walking through a nature perserve, only with graves. Saw a skanky fox too. Very serene. Some very old graves dating from 1920's and earlier. Some graves of some famous families, like the Rogers, and the Delano Family. The Delano crypt is absolutely breathtaking. A lot of freemason graves also. I will bring a camera next time I go. Wonderful place.
