Vintage Photos

 Last year I acquired large batch of vintage photos. I've sifted through them and selected the best to scan and post here.

reverse side reads: Aug, 1935 Lake Cormorant



This one's dated Dec 1960

Mystery photo, Jan 1961, still cannot figure out how this was taken

Is this photo racist?

Recovering from Parkinsonism

Here is a two part story of how I overcame Parkinsonism. The first part is an overview that's been published at TogetherforSharon.com , the second part is more detailed published only here https://www.togetherforsharon.com/recovering-from-parkinsonism-a-parkinsonism-pemf-journey-by-fausto-chavez/ Recovering from Parkinsonism ; A Parkinsonism/PEMF Journey I have never been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease but for many years I deeply studied this condition and what its sufferers go through. I became interested in Parkinson’s because overnight I developed symptoms similar to Parkinson’s.  I developed Parkinsonism through the use of recreational stimulant drugs in my early ‘20s–having used too much drugs, too soon. Stimulant drugs typically enhance dopamine activity, but their overuse can cause problems, such as in my case, where I blew out some dopamine production, which led to resting tremors, dyskinesia, fatigue, sleep and mood disturbances. When symptoms happen acutely ...

Cat Tales Fanzine and Greg Milewski

by Fausto Chavez Last year, I at a local SoCal swapmeet, I purchased a collection of music related magazines and ephemera. Among them were some home printed sheets that the seller described to me as show bills or flyers. Later, when examined closer, they turned out to be Cat Tales fanzine devoted to 50s rock 'n' roll, rockabilly and doowap. There were three issues. Though I'm a rock fan, these are not genres that I specialize. Decided to read them anyway and was quickly amazed by the high quality writing and enthusiasm for this era of music culture, and thoroughly enjoyed them. Each issue featured fascinating interviews with artist from that era, which opened up a whole new frontier of music lore. I became more and more intrigued with these Cat Tales fanzines. I learned the publisher was a guy name Greg Milewski. Researching more, I found out that sadly Cat Tales came to an end when Greg committed suicide in 1994 at age 27. I was shocked that someone with so much enthusiasm...

Shadow of the Beast II – Walkthrough

Shadow of the Beast II Walkthrough for the Sega Genesis version by Fausto Chavez I decided to write a walkthrough for this game since it's full of puzzles, the key is knowing what to do. I will focus on the actions that are required to advance through the game. You only have one life, with some life-refills scattered about, so I used the following game Genie Genie codes to develop skill and get deep into the game (eventually, I was able to beat the game without  codes): Master Code: RH9T-860T Hit Protection: AKYA-NA4G From the start, go left until you come across a winged creature who electrifies a person into a ball floating in the air. Attack the creature with your mace weapon and the person will be released. He will talk to you, at the end pay attention to whether he says “upper” or “lower” switch—whichever one he says is the lever you must hit shortly. Go left and climb down the vine (or fall down the root branches) and jump to the first platform you see left of the vine. Go le...
