The Globe Bar & Kitchen changes concept, expands menu

As the coronavirus pandemic has forced nightclubs to close and restricted how restaurants operate, one Spokane establishment has found a way to adapt.

The Globe Bar & Kitchen, at 204 N. Division St,. has changed its concept from bar and nightclub to an all-inclusive, LGBTQ-friendly restaurant.

The new concept allows the Globe to remain in business while providing a safe dining experience for patrons during the COVID-19 outbreak, owner Scott Wilburn said.

“Operating with the new concept has worked really well,” Wilburn said. “Our current clientele has really embraced it. They are coming in regularly and enjoying the food, and we still have our signature cocktails.”

Prior to the pandemic, the Globe served food, but generated a large amount of revenue from alcohol sales after 10 p.m. If the Globe didn’t pivot to a new concept, “revenue would have been next to nothing” under current coronavirus-related restrictions requiring that alcohol service end at 10 p.m., Wilburn said.

The Globe’s shift from nightclub to all-inclusive dining establishment is also about expanding its reach to the LGBTQ community, Wilburn said.

The Globe is adjacent to The Blind Buck, a gay bar also owned by Wilburn. The two establishments, which share a kitchen, have expanded their food menus, including a brunch offering.

The Blind Buck will provide a speak-easy-style atmosphere with craft cocktails. The Globe is launching a new fall menu next week that includes Thai-inspired dishes and pub fare such as burgers, onion rings, buffalo macaroni and cheese, and a steak dinner, Wilburn said.

The Globe also has added the capability to livestream drag shows and music performances conducted from a separate area of the building to the establishment’s televisions in real time, Wilburn said.

The business underwent some exterior changes with a new rainbow mural of the Spokane skyline and outdoor patio seating, which has been popular among patrons, Wilburn said.

The Globe currently is open 4-10 p.m. daily. Beginning Monday, the restaurant will be open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.

Obituary for Grace Wilburn | Mangum Funeral Home

Obituary

Grace Miller Wilburn, 87, of Shelbyville, Texas passed away on May 14, 2019 in Lufkin, Texas. She was born on December 8, 1931 in Shelbyville to Willis Roy Miller and Annie Bass Miller Scott. Funeral services will be at 2:00 PM on Thursday, May 16, 2019 at Mangum Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Bobby Warr officiating. Interment will follow at Strong Cemetery.

A visitation will be held prior to service time from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM on Thursday, May 16, 2019.

Grace grew up in Shelbyville. As a teen, she began working at a local restaurant where one fateful day, a young gentleman veteran walked through the door. Henry Lihue Wilburn was a war veteran who had just returned home from service, and Grace caught his eye. The two were married shortly thereafter on March 6, 1948 and spent a love-filled 70 years together before Henry’s passing in 1993. Grace was a dedicated wife and mother, always attentive to the needs of her husband and children. She was a very talented woman who spent much of her extra time making dolls, painting with ceramics and porcelain as well as quilting and sewing. If she wasn’t crafting or caring for family, you would find Grace enjoying the outdoors gardening and working in her flowers. Her hands were no stranger to hard work, and she sacrificed whatever it took to make sure her family was cared for. She was genuine and kind-hearted and exemplified what it meant to be a Proverbs 31 woman. Grace was a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Huxley.

Grace is survived by her children, Bernice Wilburn Graham and husband, Hugh and Donice Wilburn and wife, Alice; sisters, Edith Scott Hughes and Cathy Scott Holt; grandchildren, Brandie Wilburn Emanis and husband, Scott, Katie Wilburn Smith and husband, Jonathan and Shannon Wilburn and wife, Tera; ten great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Henry Lihue Wilburn; mother, Annie Bass Scott; son, Henry Leroy Wilburn, grandparents, George and Meddie Bass; sister, Murlene Scott McMahon and brother, Bobby Scott.

Pallbearers will be Eugene McMahon, Alton Steptoe, Aaron Steptoe, Adam Steptoe, Jessie Rose, Chad Bass and Brad Bass.

The family requests the memorial donations be made to the Wounded Warriors Project, P.O. Box 758517, Topeka, Kansas, 66675-8517 or visit https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/Default.aspx?tsid=10043.

A second life on Second Avenue » Sandpoint Reader

By Lyndsie Kiebert
Reader Staff

For Scott Wilburn, music is a family matter. From his childhood as the son of a church organist to the way he’s raised his kids to understand guitar workmanship, constantly having instruments around has become a trademark of his everyday life.

“Mom always had a piano and an organ and a guitar and everything else in the house, so I grew up just playing,” he said.

After joining his first rock band in 1972 as a freshman in high school, Wilburn said life as a musician never really stopped. He said he was a part of several bands out of high school and realized pretty quickly that broken instruments were an occupational hazard.

“Fixing guitars was simply a necessity,” Wilburn said. “I thought, ‘OK, I’m a musician, I have to be able to do this myself,’ so I just started figuring it out.”

That hobby then became a financial supplement to his day job when his wife took time off from her career as a surgical nurse to be home with their young children.

“I had to find a way to make my guitar collecting not take away from the rent paying,” Wilburn said with a laugh.

Thus, Wilburn Custom Shop was born in 1999 — on eBay. Thanks to his day job working in graphic design and his niche abilities as a custom guitar builder and repairman, Wilburn’s business page started attracting clients from around the world. Still, Wilburn Custom Shop suffered in the economic meltdown of 2008. Yet, in 2009, change was in the air and the Wilburns moved from the Tri-Cities to Sandpoint.

“We decided we needed to be closer to what we did most, which was snow skiing and water skiing,” Wilburn said.

At the time, it seemed a custom guitar builder and repairman was exactly what Sandpoint needed. As more and more people became aware of Wilburn’s skills — including other local music store owners — they started coming to him for help. After being the third-party repairman for a few years, Wilburn Custom Shop first took physical form on First Avenue in 2014, and remained there until just recently.

The shop provides a large inventory of acoustic and electric guitars, basses, ukuleles, drums, pianos, keyboards, amps, PA systems, accessories and parts. It also offers instrument repair and customization; lessons on guitar, bass and keys; and access to a recording studio in the back of the store.

Wilburn rented the previous location on First Avenue until February, when the landlord came by with tough news: He’d sold the building and the new tenants intended to use the space in other ways. It meant the Wilburns had 30 days to move out. 

“It happened so fast,” Wilburn said. “We didn’t plan.”

After a huge closing sale, Wilburn said he wondered how his family would get everything moved out in time. Luckily, the community stepped in.

“People just came out of the woodwork,” he said. “We moved that 6,000-square-foot monstrosity of a store in effectively three days because people just showed up and helped.”

Wilburn said he owes a huge thanks to Red Simpson of Fiddlin’ Red’s Music on Church Street for both helping him move from the old location and for consigning some of his inventory while the storefront was down. While Simpson does repair instruments at his store, he does not deal with electronics like Wilburn does.

“In a lot of towns, the other music store would be rooting for us to go down,” Wilburn said. “[Red] rolled up his sleeves and came over and helped [move], and helped us pay our bills by selling our stuff. The real story here — from my point of view — is how the community takes care of its own.”

Now, nestled comfortably on the corner of Church and Second at 118B N. Second Ave., Wilburn and his daughter Sarah are back to doing what they do best — keeping local and regional musicians in business. Wilburn said Sarah has a particular gift when it comes to their line of work.

“Not only does she fix stuff, string stuff and all that, but she’s gotten really into detailing [guitars] so that it’s almost restoration,” he said. “Some of that stuff comes in really rough and it goes out shining like a new penny.”

Sarah and her brother Stanton make Wilburn Custom Shop a true family business, having both helped their dad with building and fixing guitars from early ages.

“I love working with my dad,” said Sarah, who turns 20 next week. “It’s a lot of fun.”

“Yeah, you asked why we keep doing this,” Wilburn added. “Mainly because it’s a ton of fun.”

Army Veteran Says He’d Do It All Again

Wilburn Scott, born April 25, 1927, came from a loving family of farmers in Presque Isle whose Christianity was very important to them. His parents, Robert and Octavia, had two other children; Wilburn is the oldest.

As a young man, Wilburn took advantage of all that the Maine outdoors has to offer; hunting and fishing were his passions, and he was a member of his local Snowmobile and ATV clubs. His career, like his father’s, was picking potatoes on the family farm. When he had free time, he liked to ski with friends and cut a rug at the town’s dance hall.

Service and Education

While Wilburn didn’t finish high school, he had the opportunity to earn his GED during his service in the Army in the Korean War. That year, before he enlisted at the age of 23, he had been farming mainly by himself and says he’ll never forget that he broke even – quite the feet for a farmer at that time.

Wilburn completed boot camp at Fort Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts, where he says the officers were nice and he was granted a Class A pass to go out during the evenings – to dance, no doubt. After boot camp, Wilburn was assigned to administrative school in Fort Dix, New Jersey. He served his country from 1950 to 1952.

Wilburn said being in the military was a great experience and if given the chance, he’d do it all over again. He did say his time in the service was a little difficult because he was very near-sighted and had a hard time seeing without his glasses.

Back to Farming in The County

After being honorably discharged from the Army, Wilburn came back home to Presque Isle to farm, and then to Washburn, where he also farmed for a time. He went to work for a neighbor building houses before going into business for himself.

He married Cecile Scott and had four children: Russel, Vicky, Roger and Gordon. They have seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Wilburn continued to enjoy hunting and fishing as an adult and became involved in the Boy Scouts of America Exploring program. Wilburn was an adviser in this division of the Boy Scouts and considers it one of his greatest accomplishments, second only to marrying his wife and raising a family.

Now a resident at Maine Veterans’ Homes – Caribou, Wilburn likes to read, go on the many outings the home offers, and exercise. He also likes that he doesn’t have to cook, clean or do laundry! Wilburn’s favorite music are hymns and marching music, and his favorite sports to watch and play are baseball and softball.

Wilburn is the November Veteran of the Month at MVH – Caribou. Thank you for your service, Wilburn.

Alumni Profile – Scott Wilburn at Los Alamos National Laboratory

As a graduate student at TUNL, Scott Wilburn ’93 made precision measurements with neutrons in order to study the interactions of polarized neutrons and polarized protons. Today, he’s using similar techniques at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, but with lower-energy neutrons, and with a different goal.

“I’m using the neutron as a laboratory to look for new physics beyond the standard model,” he says. “The neutron decay process is interesting to look at because you can do both very precise measurements and very precise calculations from the physics we know. If there are particles or forces we don’t know about, it would cause a discrepancy between the calculations and the experiment. Very heavy particles that have never been produced in an accelerator can have very small effects on these processes.” He and his colleagues use either cold neutron beams or bottled ultracold neutrons in their experiments.

It’s a different approach to the same question being explored by some of the physicists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (click here to read about the Duke ATLAS team at LHC). “At the LHC,” Wilburn says, “they try to produce enough energy to make these particles directly, and we try to do very precise experiments to see subtle effects of these particles on low-energy experiments. ”

Wilburn earned his PhD at Duke in 1993, and stayed on for a few years as a research assistant. In 1996, he came to Los Alamos, where he is now the leader of the subatomic physics group. In October, he was named the Los Alamos program manager for the DOE office of nuclear physics. As the program manager, he receives and distributes money from DOE, and helps direct the research it funds. “We’re primarily a nuclear weapons lab, and the part of DOE that funds TUNL also gives Los Alamos money to do basic nuclear physics research,” Wilburn says.

As the group leader for subatomic physics, he manages about 40 full-time scientists plus another couple dozen post-docs and students. “This is the group that does basic nuclear physics research and applies nuclear physics techniques to important national problems,” he says. “We do charged particle radiography for the nuclear weapons program and we develop techniques to detect when someone is trying to smuggle a nuclear weapon into the country. ”

At Los Alamos, Wilburn is one of many TUNL alums—Wilburn estimates there are about 20. In fact, he and his wife Dianne are planning a TUNL get-together at Los Alamos in January.

90,000 Return of Miles Davis’s Lost Album – Radio JAZZ

Miles Davis shocked the music world in 1985 when he left Columbia Records after 30 years to join Warner Bros. Records. In October of that year, he began recording Rubberband in Los Angeles at Ameraycan Studios with producers Randy Hall and Zane Giles. The musical direction David took during the sessions marked a radical turn with the addition of funk and soul grooves and guest vocalists Al Jarreau and Chuck Khan.Eventually, the album was shelved and Davis continued to record Tutu, leaving Rubberband’s songs intact for more than 30 years.

Davis fans were finally able to touch on the great trumpeter’s long-lost recording last year with the release of four songs on the EP Rubberband for Record Store Day. Now Rhino is proud to announce that the entire 11-song Rubberband will be released September 6th on CD, LP and digital. It was completed by the original record producers, Hall and Giles, and Davis’ nephew, Vince Wilburn Jr.who played drums during the original album sessions in 1985-86. The album cover is Davis’s original painting of the time.

In 2017 – 32 years since Rubberband began recording, Hall, Giles and Davis’ nephew, Vince Wilburn Jr., who played drums during the album’s original sessions, resumed work on the record. The final cut includes several guest artists including singer Ledisi (12-time Grammy nominee) and Lalu Hathaway (daughter of soul legend Donnie Hathaway).

Davis, who plays trumpet and keyboards on the album, is joined by keyboardists Adam Holtzman, Neil Larsen and Wayne Linsey; percussionist Steve Reed; saxophonist Glen Barris; and Wilburn Jr. on drums. The sessions were moderated by Grammy laureate Reggie Dozier, whose brother Lamont Dozier was part of the legendary Motown songwriting team, Holland-Dozier-Holland.

90,000 Listen Future – USA – music online on BoxRadio. ru

Future is a hip-hop artist from the USA. He became famous for a series of successful mixtapes, which allowed him to enter into an agreement with Epic Records. Over time, he launches his own label Future.

Neuvedius Deman Wilburn was born on November 20, 1983 in Kirkwood, Georgia. Members of the musical group “The Dungeon Family” saw the future in it and called it appropriately: “The Future” – and this is how the artist’s pseudonym appeared.

A great influence, according to Future himself, had a cousin on his work: producer Rico Wade.It was he who told Deman to improve his lyric skills at Columbia High School and signed the artist to his label A1 Recordings.

In 2010-2011 the artist releases a series of mixtapes, including: Dirty Sprite, True Story. The review of the famous music magazine Pitchfork highly appreciated this work of Future, calling its mixtapes close to perfection, where vocals and rap practically merged into one whole, and this does not interfere with telling about the previous life of a drug dealer. This period also includes his partnership with Gucci Main. The result of this collaboration is the album “Free Bricks”.

In the winter of 2011, Future was featured on the cover of The Fader. At the beginning of next year, Futures is listed on XXL Freshmen.

Soon after, the singer’s debut album “Pluto” is released. It included recordings of songs featuring Drake and T.I. Rapper claimed that T.I. started working on the song “Magic” the same day he left prison.

Music Style

Wilburn performing in 2014

Future makes extensive use of Auto-Tune in their songs, both rap and singing with effect. Pitchfork Media wrote that Future “miraculously shows that Auto-Tune can still be an interesting artistic tool,” stating that it “finds many ways for the software to accentuate and color emotions.”The LA Times wrote that “Future’s highly processed vocals suggest a man driven to grim despair by drugs, love or technology,” stating that his music “comes closest to the witchcraft of the overstimulating of our times.” GQ stated that he “managed to reload the tired autotune sound and turn it into something completely new,” writing that he “combines it with quirky melody to synthesize what he feels, then […] stretches and degrades his words until they become less like words, more like pure energy and reactive emotions. ” Critic Simon Reynolds wrote that “he has reinvented the blues for the 21st century.”

American rapper T-Pain, who also uses this audio processor, criticized Future’s unconventional use in 2014. In response, Future stated in an interview that “When I first used Auto-Tune, I never used it to sing. I used it like T-Pain.I used it for rap because it makes my voice sound harder. Now everyone wants to rap in Auto-Tune mode. The future is not for everyone. ” Future’s music has been characterized as trap music.

Personal life

Prior to starting his musical career in 2004, Wilburn was arrested for theft, receiving stolen property and contempt of court.

As of 2016, both Jessica Smith and Ciara have sued Wilburn. Smith is suing him for non-payment of child support and said that their son “suffers from emotional and behavioral problems associated with the neglect of Futures as a father.” Ciara sues him for libel, libel and libel.In October 2016, a judge stated that Future’s string of tweets criticizing Ciara had nothing to do with her $ 15 million request. In 2019, two women from Florida and Texas, respectively, filed paternity suits claiming Wilburn was the father of their daughter and son; if it is confirmed that he is a father, then the number of his children will increase to eight. In 2020, a Texas woman dropped her paternity suit.

Transit of Venus on the Sun’s disk – a kind of astronomical transit (transit) – occurs when the planet Venus is exactly between the Sun and the Earth, covering a tiny part of the solar disk.In this case, the planet looks from the Earth as a small black speck moving along the Sun. Passages are similar to solar eclipses, when our star is obscured by the Moon, but although Venus is almost 4 times the diameter of the Moon, during the passage it looks about 30 times smaller than the Sun, since it is much farther from the Earth than the Moon. Such an apparent size of Venus makes it accessible for observation even with the naked eye (only with filters from bright sunlight), in the form of a point, at the limit of the eye’s resolving power.Before the epoch of space exploration, observations of this phenomenon allowed astronomers to calculate the distance from the Earth to the Sun by the parallax method, in addition, while observing the passage of 1761, MV Lomonosov discovered the atmosphere of Venus.

The duration of the passage is usually several hours (in 2004 it lasted 6 hours). At the same time, it is one of the rarest predictable astronomical phenomena. Every 243 years, 4 passes are repeated: two in December (with a difference of 8 years), then an interval of 121.5 years, two more in June (again with a difference of 8 years) and an interval of 105.5 years.The last December passages occurred on December 9, 1874 and December 6, 1882, and the June passages took place on June 8, 2004 and June 6, 2012. Subsequent passes will occur in 2117 and 2125, again in December. During the passage, the “Lomonosov phenomenon” is observed, as well as the “black drop effect”.

Massacre in Blagae (Serbo-Croatian. Masakr u Blagaju / Masakr u Blagaju) – the massacre of 400 to 530 Serbs by the Croatian Ustasha, which took place on May 9, 1941, during the Second World War.This massacre was the second massacre after the creation of the Independent State of Croatia and was part of the Serb genocide.

The victims were Serbs from the village of Velun and its surroundings, accused of involvement in the murder of the local Croatian miller Joso Mravunac and his family. The Ustashi argued that the murder was committed on the basis of national hatred and indicated the beginning of the Serbian uprising. The detained Serbs (their number, according to various estimates, ranged from 400 to 530 people) were kept in one of the Blagaya schools, where many of them were tortured and beaten.The Ustashs planned to hold a “people’s trial”, but the surviving daughter of Mravunac could not identify the killers among the detained Serbs, and the prosecutor’s office refused to initiate a case against anyone without proving guilt. One of the high-ranking Ustasha Vekoslav Luburich, dissatisfied with this development of events, organized a new “special court”. A day later, Mravunac’s daughter pointed to one of the detained Serbs. After that, 36 people were shot. Then the Ustashi executed the rest of the detainees.
