The Virtuoso Awards program is open to all communications and creative professionals in southwestern Ontario, including IABC members, non-members and students. The entrant listed on the entry form must have had direct and primary involvement in implementing the project submitted. You may enter multiple projects and categories.
Entries for the 2018 program must have been produced and implemented between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. You may also submit work produced before 2017 if the work and/or measurement extended into 2017.

Day 2 was not as successful for me as day1 was. In fact, my weight was 165.2 so I gained .8 lbs. I did not cheat but I have over 30 bug bites from being outside the other night. I totally blame them.
Yesterday was veggie and baked potato day. Along with my soup, I was allowed to eat veggies and one baked potato with butter.
Here's what I ate and drank yesterday sort of in order of having it throughout the day:
- 20 oz water
- 10 oz hot tea
- 20 oz iced tea mixed w/ cranberry juice
- cucumbers & tomatoes dipped in a mixture of salt/pepper/water & 1 tbsp =Italian Dressing
- 20 oz water
- 20 oz iced tea mixed w/ cranberry juice
- 20 oz water
- medium bowl of cabbage soup
- 1/2 bag of baby carrots (I found some spray butter in the fridge – not sure what it is made of but I did put some on the carrots – I needed flavor)
- medium bowl of cabbage soup
- 20 oz water
- 1 baked potato with butter
- 20 oz water
I was pretty full most of the day. The veggies were good and I felt satisfied.
Since I started at 167, I am down in total 1.8 lbs. Not earth-shattering but again I don't put a whole lot of stock in the daily weights because they fluctuate for me. Plus, there are the bug bites….
Trisha has continued to lose weight and has lost a total of 2.6 lbs in 2 days. (rude)
Today is simply a mixture of fruits and veggies along with the soup. I am going to make a conscious effort to drink a bit more water today, although yesterday I spent so much time peeing I was afraid to leave the house. I've been trying to workout but frankly every time I try, my itchies flare up. My feet, ankles and calves are covered in bites.

Tell Congress No More Unfair Trade-Pact Handouts for Bailed Out Banks
Staff at Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch division recently wondered just how easy it was to set up a corporation in Panama to dodge taxes. In fact, it seemed so simple, we asked Global Trade Watch's star intern Jessica to give it a try. Jessica, a college sophomore, sprung into action last week seeking to answer one question: how hard is it to set up a tax-dodging corporation in Panama? Check out the results in this video and take action below!
(Can't believe it could really be that easy? Find out yourself: we called Intertrust Panama at 011-507-263-6300.)
Despite millions of Americans being angry at bank bailouts and bailout fraud, some administration officials are pushing to give more unfair trade-pact handouts to bailed-out banks as "expeditiously as possible." It is unthinkable that Congress would approve a leftover Bush NAFTA deal with Panama - a nation notorious for helping corporations escape paying their fair share, as we can see in the video above.
TAKE ACTION: Use the form below to tell your members of Congress that you are outraged that some administration officials would even consider moving Bush's FTA with tax haven Panama. Remind them of President Obama's commitments to renegotiate NAFTA, create a new American trade model that actually benefits us and close the tax loopholes that promote job offshoring. The form will send your e-mail to both of your senators as well as your House representative.

Developer Erik Osborn thought that One Lincoln Park would be his towering achievement. Instead, it could land him in the big house with a 24-year sentence.
Osborn will be in court this morning for sentencing on his felony-theft conviction in connection with financial shenanigans at One Lincoln Park, the luxury high-rise development at 20th and Lincoln. In late 2007,, Osborn was charged with misappropriating $150,000 in funds -- funds from some high-profile investors, including "Dealing Doug" Moreland. A jury convicted Osborn of two counts of felony theft in December.
Osborn had been accused of diverting money from two development projects -- $108,000 from a project at 5351 South Roslyn Street in Greenwood Village and about $147,000 from One Lincoln Park -- and using the money for improvements to his personal home.
And even after his sentencing this morning in connection with those charges, the cases against Osborn keep building. Last fall, another grand jury concluded that sufficient evidence existed to indict Osborn on similar charges involving a project he'd headed just a hundred yards away, at 1800 Glenarm Place. That development, too, involved some high-profile investors, including former Boulder mayor Bob Greenlee. Osborn has pleaded not guilty in connection with that felony-theft case.
Today's sentencing could give Osborn up to 24 years in the big house, rather than the fancy house in the Polo Club he bought in another convoluted deal.

A two-star US Army general in the US Africa Command may have been fired on March 28 for inappropriate contact and sexual harassment, possibly fueled by alcohol. On Thursday, the Department of Defense acknowledged that Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker, commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, was ordered fired by the US commanding general in Africa, Gen. Carter Ham.
Defense officials told CNN that Baker was fired for "loss of confidence" in his ability to do his job, and they acknowledged that he will appeal. In fact, Baker has already taken his appeal to US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
However, the Associated Press said that anonymous officials told them that Baker was actually axed because of misconduct involving alcohol and sex, including sexual harassment. The AP said that the officials would only speak if their identities were concealed, because they weren't authorized to comment.
In addition to being fired, Baker may have been heavily fined a portion of his pay, although Department of Defense officials wouldn't say how much the misconduct has cost the former general.
The new Army general firing comes amid a swirl of investigations and scandal that has haunted US Army operations in Africa for months.
Former four-star general Kip Ward, former head of the Africa command, was at the center of a spending spree scandal just a few months ago. He lost a star and was forced to retire as a three-star general after he was allegedly caught in the act of more or less bilking the Army to fund his lavish lifestyle.
For example, he was accused of taking an 11-day trip to Washington and Atlanta, not normally particularly pricey destinations, that cost the taxpayers $109,000 — and only three days of the lavish trip actually involved any Army business. After a closer look, the Army said that Ward had extended trips seven times for personal reasons, each time then applying for and receiving reimbursement for those costs.
One of those trips allegedly included a notorious week in Bermuda, where his wife came along and took an unauthorized joyride in at least one armored vehicle.
The new firing of yet another US Army general could mean that the Africa Command is cleaning house.

Retail Futures: Browns Fashion heads to Berlin
Nov 13, 2019 | By Alice Gividen
Aug 04, 2015
By WGSN Insider
US women prefer Coach's leather handbags to those of its major rivals, but are put off by the brand's high prices, according to a survey by JP Morgan.
According to some 500 women aged 22-55 who have purchased a handbag in the past year, Coach was selected most as "brand of choice". However, they displayed low awareness of changes made to the product line to boost growth.
In terms of styling and quality, 72% said that Coach's product was "unchanged".
Meanwhile, among the women who purchased a bag in the $300-$500 price range, 72% said Coach's offer is overpriced.
The brand was likely hurt by the shift by consumers to Factory stores during the recent downturn in search of discounts, and the company may now struggle to persuade them to pay full price, said JP Morgan analysts.
"The greatest price pushback [is] Middle America [about 80% at the $75K to $150K income level], confirming qualitative field checks that promotion is needed to spur demand," they wrote in a note.
Coach was not the only handbag brand to be viewed negatively. Michael Kors came in below Coach with only 12% saying it was their brand of choice, compared with 21% for Coach. Some 77% said Michael Kors' handbags were overpriced.
Just 10% of those surveyed said Kate Spade was their favourite handbag brand while 6% said Louis Vuitton was their favourite, followed by Tory Burch at 3%.
Some 47% listed an unnamed "other" as their favourite.
"The onus still remains on the bulls to disprove the structural industry bear case, despite the stocks at multiyear lows today," said the JP Morgan note.
* JP Morgan downgraded Coach shares to neutral from overweight Monday ahead of the company releasing its results later Tuesday, "given reduced earnings and cash flow visibility" along with uncertainty across the sector".

The Matrix Program is Crashing
By Zen Gardner, 09/03/2016
It is. It's outdated programming and the engineers of deceit can't keep up. The vibrational changes are exceeding their capabilities. You know how your phone or computer's software goes out of date, and new programs can't operate? It's the same thing. The imitators of creation can't maintain a current operating system any longer in the face of this Universal shift.
And it's driving them nuts.
Just look at the desperation we're witnessing. Crude military and police state maneuvers are only one aspect. The biggest clue is seeing the previously incremental and now hyperbolic use of monstrous lies that are becoming so transparent and unbelievable to just about anyone. Agreed, there are the entranced apathetics who swallow anything, but we're witnessing a meltdown before our eyes.
If you can't see it, look again.
You Want Proof?
First of all you're in the wrong mindset if you're looking only for data or left brained evidence, although it's out there for those who can see. When we come to understand the vibrational workings of our holographic reality everything takes on new dimensions and opens us up to understanding these more esoteric notions.
Those with hearts that can see feel this. I say hearts because much of what we need to grasp or at least track is intuitive. Taking all of the information and dot connecting and personal spiritual experience together paints very clear pictures, we just need to trust what we're seeing and learning. When we explore these realities we're sensing we start to notice how they're manifesting.
Forbidding free speech, shooting civilians with no cause, obvious mega bullshit in the news, wars with no possible end, deliberate poisoning, starvation and dumbing down of populations? I mean, c'mon.
But it's kind of a conscious or spiritual symbiosis we're experiencing. They all work together. But ignoring the spiritual and metaphysical as "evidence" in conjunction with such obvious manifestations is why this world has devolved to its current state. Previous enlightened civilizations and earth connected tribes took this to heart. Our current imposed paradigm does nothing of the sort.
The Computer Analogy
It's just like expired or outdated software. Their programs can't keep up with the changes the cosmos is bringing to our planet and race. That's exactly it. While they've literally gotten away with murder for millennia and are working furiously to enforce their "programs" at so many levels, the time's up. Sorry Charlie, but you've been superceded, or should I say "super seeded". The new upgraded paradigm is taking over fellas. It's just a matter of time before your whole wicked system crashes.
The shift is moving through their lower level grip and on into massive empowerment and transcension beyond the net they've laid for humanity.
It's got to be frustrating the hell out of these creeps. Imagine, the very thing you're trying to encase in every way possible keeps morphing before your eyes. They can throw up matrix program after program but their perceived petri dish subjects just keep finding ways to survive and grow. What irony the Universe has.
Hence the Transhuman Agenda – Things They Think They Can Control
Humanity is getting out of hand, in their eyes. All the while we're being empowered – by our own awakening and resultant commitment to truth, but also by a fundamental vibrational shift we're undergoing. No savior, no galactic battlestars. It's us, and an organic consciousness evolution at the deepest level with a living, expanding and enveloping Universe.
Awakening with Creation Itself.
Anyone who's woken up to almost any degree understands everything is interconnected. Even "modern" physics is arriving at this reality, all while mainstream thinking ignores the profound ramifications. That we're all interconnected not just as a race, but with the earth and the cosmos in such a fundamental way is a game changer. While this has been known for eons, our current control model cannot even begin to acknowledge this fact. To these oligarchs and self-appointed maniacal masterminds, no matter what powers they're summoning, that truth is something apparently well beyond their debased comprehension.
It's out of their league.
Sure, they have their satanic rituals and tap into other dimensional entities, but it's child's play compared to the True picture of our all Powerful Creative Universe. That they live in rebellion against this Force is a known reality for millennia, and even alluded to by spiritual traditions and native shamanic teachings alike for ages. Bringing this understanding "down to earth" is another story.
This is why the transhumanism agenda is so important to them. This merging of man with machine has been in the works for a long time. Clipping the link with our humanity by short circuiting the human creation is an obvious next step for these would-be controllers. Agreed, they've made it a fad and carefully groomed acceptance of such a trend, but it's going to fritz and die in the junkyard of temporal existence. It can't stand, never mind last, in such a creative force field.
Time will bear this out, as has happened to previous off-course civilizations.
Is This For Real?
It's up to us. We have everything going for us. But our will and actions need to be aligned with this transition. We can ignore it or respond. The sanctity of our free will cannot be violated. Either we get paddling and ride the wave or it crashes on us and perhaps dissipates on the shores of time for lack of recognition or response. And the whole cycle may need to be repeated. Not a nice destiny.
I don't know.
I know I'm not coming back. I'm done with this insanity and am doing my damnedest to change things this time around. If we all did it won't get repeated, but time will tell. Not many seem to be willing to respond, even though their lives and their children and grandchildren's lives are at stake. Talk about self imposed defeat and debilitation.
Either way, the matrix will collapse. But the true civilization of love, peace, harmony and abundance awaits manifesting.
Is it time?
I think so. It is for me.
How about you?
Love, Zen

As you make plans for next summer let me put something on your calender. This year, June 18-20, at Rochester College's Streaming: Biblical Conversations from the Missional Frontier, Walter Brueggemann and I will be in conversation on the conference theme "I Desire Mercy, Not Sacrifice."
Yesterday, I got a very nice and complementary email from Walter upon his finishing Unclean. Given how much I've been influenced by Walter's work, professionally and personally, it's going to be an huge honor to discuss Unclean with him at Streaming. In fact, some of Dr. Brueggemann's own work was catalytic in my own thinking regarding the tensions between mercy and sacrifice. This quote from his Theology of the Old Testament proved very important:
[The purity and justice] trajectories of command serve very different sensibilities and live in profound tension with each other. The tradition of justice concerns the political-economic life of the community and urges drastic transformative and rehabilitative activity. The tradition of holiness focuses on the cultic life of the community and seeks a restoration of a lost holiness, whereby the presence of God can again be counted on and enjoyed.As I pondered this quote many years ago I wondered: How are purity and justice "very different sensibilities"? More, why do these sensibilities "live in profound tension with each other"?
Unclean was my attempt to answer those questions. I'd encourage you to think through your own set of answers.
Looking forward to seeing you, along with Walter Brueggemann, this coming June at Streaming.

As Burnt Orange Report staff writer Joseph Vogas reported earlier this week, no Texas Republican voted to reopen the U.S. government or avoid defaulting on our debts. Included among the Texas Republicans was Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Corpus Christi).
Farenthold sat down with Kristv news to discuss what exactly the shutdown did to the country and his motives for supporting it.
Kristv news quickly pointed out that many of Farenthold's constituents have said they will not vote for him again. Kristv asked Farenthold about the people who say he's lost their vote; people like retired veterans who were on the verge of losing their disability checks next month.
"I feel like my mandate when I was elected was to go reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and increase freedom, and freedom isn't free, and sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to move forward with what you're after," Congressman Farenthold said.
The stalemate in Washington was necessary to achieve party goals. Veterans could have afforded to make a small sacrifice.
Read more on the interview below the jump.Farenthold — with his head clearly stuck in the sand — argued that the dissatisfaction with the government likely comes more from recent scandals like Benghazi or the NSA scandal than the government shutdown. None of his constituents, nor the rest of the country for that matter, are upset at him for supporting the shutdown or are upset at the Republican Party's complete disregard for the American people. It's Benghazi. The NSA. Nothing to do with the government shutdown.
Gotcha. I am so glad we have Rep. Blake Farenthold to explain our own frustrations to us.
Many people — especially Republican members — attempted to point blame both ways. That it was Republicans as well as Democrats who were at fault for creating the shutdown. That both parties were equally to blame for the madness. Democrats were simply not willing to compromise with Republicans.
Newsflash to Republicans: People aren't buying your lies. Especially not veterans.
Watch former Governor Sarah Palin, with Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz on the background, get scolded by veterans at a rally in DC before the shutdown was put to an end this week.
"The Republicans closed the government. The Republicans closed the government. You're an idiot."

Vacuum Frying of vegetables is a relatively new process. Rather than deep frying the vegetables in oil at high temperature, the vegetables are processed at lower temperatures. This helps in retention of natural nutrients, color, texture and flavor. This also results in very low oil absorption and oil degradation. These chips are made by using high quality produce sourced directly from the farmers. The chips are rich in taste, crispy and very low on fat.
Low on fat – High Potassium – Regulates blood sugar – Good for skin - Natural color, flavors and texture

You know, I'm a little ashamed to just be thinking of this now; but in a weird way, Trinity has pulled at least a little truth out of those "Batman will become a New God" rumors from a year or so ago. True, Batman hasn't become a capital-N new god, but the god he's become is certainly new to the rest of us….
Too much of a stretch? Yeah, probably.
Anyway, with this issue we start the last quarter of Trinity. It's 75% over now, people! Give yourselves a hand (assuming you've been following all along)! While I was expecting certain developments to last a little longer than they have, I suppose there's only twelve more issues to go and we need to start wrapping things up.
Naturally, any more and I'd have to say …

In Brief: Want to see the Trinity/Troika fight? Want to see it again?
Page 1
-- Here's our old friend Krona, still transformed from the last time we saw him 'waaay back in issue #24.
-- Krona is totally tripping. "Have you ever looked at the coherent energy which manifests itself as your hands? I mean, really looked at the coherent energy which manifests itself as your hands?"
Page 2
-- Get more than a handful of Green Lanterns together, and it means trouble. At least one Green Lantern is assigned to each of the universe's 3600 space sectors (these days, every sector is supposed to have at least two, a primary GL and a deputy). I count about 62 here.
-- Somebody's gonna have to help me out with all these Lanterns, because I've gone through the most recent Secret Files, the original Who's Who, and more than a couple of websites, and I can't identify every one.
-- The speaker kinda looks like Chthos-Chthas Chthatis, created by Dave Gibbons, who first appeared in Green Lantern Corps vol. 2 #5 (December 2006).
-- The big guy with the window on his brain is Validus, who'll be more familiar about a thousand years from now as a member of the villainous Fatal Five. Validus was created by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan and first appeared in Adventure Comics vol. 1 #352 (January 1967). Validus was also a Green Lantern (for the first time) in the alternate timeline of Justice League: The Nail #2 (September 1998), which was written and penciled by Alan Davis.
-- The blob over Validus' right shoulder (our left) looks like Eddore, who was created by Len Wein, Mike W. Barr, and Joe Staton, and first appeared in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1 (May 1981). The Green Lantern Corps was modeled after the Lensmen, a group of intergalactic peacekeepers created by E.E. "Doc" Smith, and Eddore was named for a character in the Lensman series.
-- Galius-Zed (big head, bottom center) was created by Len Wein and Joe Staton and first appeared in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #2 (June 1981).
-- The Xudarian (left edge, orange skin, pointed ear, fin) is probably either Tomar-Re or his son Tomar-Tu. Tomar-Re was created by John Broome and Gil Kane and first appeared in Green Lantern vol. 2 #6 (May-June 1961). Tomar-Tu was created by Gerard Jones and Pat Broderick and first appeared in Green Lantern vol. 3 #5 (October 1990).
-- Salakk (bottom center, under the speaker's legs) was created by Marv Wolfman and Joe Staton and first appeared in Green Lantern vol. 2 #149 (February 1982).
-- In the bottom right corner, the woman with the blue skin and yellow hair might be a miscolored Arisia (who normally has a Caucasian skin tone). Like Eddore, Arisia was created by Wein, Barr, and Staton for Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1. Arisia was similarly named for a planet in the Lensman series.
-- The tentacled ball could be Brokk, who was created by Wein, Barr, and Staton for Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1.
-- To the left of Brokk, that looks like a miscolored Ghr'll, who was created by Paul Kupperberg and Carmine Infantino and first appeared in Green Lantern vol. 2 #151 (April 1982). If it's Ghr'll, he should be orange, not blue.
-- The red-horned person just above the speaker could be Opto309v, who was created by Grant Morrison and Giuseppe Camuncoli and first appeared in 52 #41 (February 14, 2007).
-- The lizard-looking fellow to (our) left of the speaker might be Isamot Kol, who was created by Geoff Johns, Dave Gibbons, and Patrick Gleason, and who first appeared in Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #1 (November 2005).
-- The pink blob (bottom right, next to "Arisia") might be Gpaak, who was created by Chuck Dixon and Joe Staton and first appeared in Guy Gardner #11 (August 1993).
-- The multi-armed person over Validus' left shoulder (our right) might be Lashorr, who was created by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis and first appeared in Green Lantern vol. 4 #12 (July 2006).
-- The pink-skinned fellow behind the blue-skinned one in the front row might be Okonoko, created by Kurt Busiek and Dave Gibbons and first appearing in Green Lantern vol. 2 #162 (March 1983). (I figure at least one Busiek-created Lantern is in this spread.)
-- Actually, Mr. Busiek wrote a story (penciled by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, inked by Joe Rubenstein) for Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #3 (1987), in which a Green Lantern is worshiped by the people of his planet. The people question their faith when other GLs show up to prevent a planetary disaster. There, however, the GL knew he wasn't a god. As we'll see, the Trinitarians still need some convincing.
-- If I missed anyone, this site looks to be as good a resource as you'll find.
Page 3
-- Here's the "trinity" of the Crime Syndicate (Superwoman, Ultraman, and Owlman), along with Despero and his fleet. All were last seen in these pages in issue #24.
Pages 4-5
-- I like how the Troika and Trinity match up visually, especially the burning Konvikt and the radiant Superman.
-- Not a lot for the Arcana teams to do now; but just to be complete, I spy Hawkgirl, Giganta, Luthor, Black Adam, Dr. Polaris, Gangbuster, Plastic Man, the Joker, the Cheetah, and Starfire.
Page 6
-- "Batman": Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time … a long time. I presume that it, like the Trinitarians' changed forms, is a product of their return to Earth. Surely they didn't think of themselves as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman while they were the gods of the Genesis Planet?
-- "They shouldn't even have known": Morgaine seems to confirm that only through the intervention of the League of Extraordinary BFFs did they remember their old selves.
Page 7
-- "Who's got [you]?" is, as if I needed to tell you, one of the first things Lois (Margot Kidder) says to Superman (Christopher Reeve) in the movie Superman (1978).
-- We started last issue with Hawkman, Barry Allen, Charity O'Dare, Jay Garrick/Flash, and Alan Scott/Green Lantern on this rooftop (or one like it). Hawkman, Flash, and GL did some fighting, so I suppose they're back protecting Charity and Barry.
Page 8
-- This "fight" (if you can call it that) was weirdly funny to me. I like how the Trinitarians just shrug off these massive energy beams like someone's just turned up the fan full blast.
-- Dark Arcana members in panel 5 include Prometheus, Ra's al Ghul, Khyber, the Floronic Man, Dr. Polaris, Deathstroke, the Joker, Sun-Chained-In-Ink, the Parasite, Catwoman, the Cheetah, the Scarecrow, Solomon Grundy, the Gentleman Ghost, the Royal Flush Gang, Giganta, Zoom, Cat-Man, and Vandal Savage.
Page 9
-- "A part of our power is still missing in this world": we'll see what that is on the next page.
Page 10
-- I loved this little bit with Hawkman asking the Trinitarians to "put [themselves] under Justice Society authority." It seems so autocratic, bureaucratic, and brave, all at the same time.
-- "Channeled symbolically through representations of the conceptual structure": i.e., matching super-people to Tarot cards.
-- Snapping his fingers in recognition of his idea? Superman's a god, but he's still Superman….
-- Justice Arcana members (and others) include Ragman, Sand, Deadman, Tomorrow Woman, Cyborg, Hawkgirl, Starfire, Blue Beetle (?), Plastic Man, Raven, Hawkman (over Batman's shoulder), Nightshade, Green Arrow, Flash (Wally West), Aquaman, and Luthor.
-- If that is Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), he was created by Keith Giffen, John Rogers, and Cully Hamner. Jaime first appeared in Infinite Crisis #3 (February 2006) and first appeared as Blue Beetle III in issue #5 (April 2006).
Page 11
-- No annotations.
Page 12
-- Well, the regular timeline's not completely restored, because the JSIers still have their monochromatic costumes. Here's Power Girl, Tomorrow Woman, Black Lightning, Metamorpho, and Black Canary.
-- "As it should be": apparently the Trinitarians have gotten used to being worshiped.
-- "Let us show these malefactors": … and here's the ugly side of that.
* * *
"Patience, Mighty Krona" was plotted by Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza, scripted by Nicieza, pencilled by Scott McDaniel, inked by Andy Owens, colored by Allen Passalaqua, lettered by Pat Brosseau; Rachel Gluckstern, associate editor; Mike Carlin, editor.
In Brief: The new adventures of Old Krona!
Page 13 (story page 1)
-- This story, and especially these "creation" pages, put me in mind of J.M. DeMatteis' meditations on creation in the Dr. Fate series from about twenty years ago (which I just re-read a couple of weeks ago). From that series I got a rather genial picture of creation, and the notion that everything worked out to a fairly good purpose. Here, Krona's narration is appropriately macro- and micro-oriented, and very evocative of being "one with the cosmos."
Pages 14/2 and 15/3
-- "I am" is, I suspect, an allusion to Exodus 3:13-14, from Moses' introduction to the Lord on Mount Horeb:
And Moses said unto God, "Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel and shall say unto them, 'The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you,' and they shall say to me, 'What is His name?' what shall I say unto them?"
And God said unto Moses, "I AM THAT I AM." And He said, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I AM hath sent me unto you.'"
So, you know, a little bit of hubris on Krona's part, but apparently not much.
Page 16/4
-- "Like fingertips brushing against a new lover": okay, that was a little clunky.
-- "My brothers and sisters": remember, the main-line universe which the DC superheroes inhabit is personified by Kismet, a female-appearing figure who first appeared in The Adventures Of Superman #494 (September 1992). (I'm repeating myself a little, but it's been a while since we've seen this concept.) Kismet is something of an analogue for Marvel's Eternity, and indeed the two hooked up in JLA/Avengers.
-- The spiral of personified universes here is also reminiscent of the couple of scenes (in issues #16 and 22) where Hawkman remembers his past lives.
Page 17/5
-- "Fifty": as far as we know, the DC Multiverse is made up of 52 parallel universes, not including the anti-matter universe where Qward and the Crime Syndicate's Earth are located.
-- "Let me out": Krona's perpetual lament, ever since issue #1.
Page 18/6
-- "I am you, as you are me": you'd think I'd make a Beatles joke here, but that would be too easy. Instead, I'll take Old Krona at his word, such that we're seeing the Kronas in a timeless dimension where Old Krona is speaking from a perspective eons past Young Krona's. That's kind of cool, since it implies that Old Krona not only survives the end of Trinity in his present form, but that he's moved past the "petulance" of his younger, trouble-making self.
-- While I've enjoyed the story titles coming from dialogue and narration, it's too bad this one couldn't have been called "Krona Vs. Krona."
Page 19/7
-- "A cosmic accident": a couple of them, I would say. First, Krona was trapped in the Cosmic Egg at the end of JLA/Avengers, and then the egg was used in Morgaine's ritual. Krona has just been caught up in these things, neither time really by choice.
-- "Thrust into the gestating womb of a new universe": again, the Cosmic Egg, from the end of JLA/Avengers.
-- "Like all wombs, it became a prison!" Paging Dr. Freud….
Page 20/8
-- So, should we be wondering where Old Krona sent Young Krona? (Certainly not to Anthro's cave.)
Page 21/9
-- "Worldminds": Krona discovered in issue #20 that each planet has its own form of consciousness.
-- "A planetary mind": actually, if I understand correctly, it's the old JLA villain the Construct, trapped in GL's power ring, who is the planetary mind. The Construct, remember, was formed from Earth's aggregate electronic transmissions. Of course, since he was formed in the mid-1970s out of analog broadcasts, he'll have to upgrade to digital by June.
-- I feel obligated to note the obvious, namely that John Stewart looks a lot more feral here than when we saw him last.
Page 22/10
-- No annotations.
* * *
Well, in a way this was a typical issue of Trinity: movement on the big plot in the lead story; good character spotlight in the second story. I never thought I'd enjoy Krona arguing with himself as much as I did. Even though it was a little familiar, it presumably allowed Old Krona to displace his younger, more impetuous self. I take this to be a plot pivot, and obviously a change in characterization, but it was handled pretty well.
As for the first story, as mentioned above I thought the Troika vs. Trinity fight would go on longer than it did. However, under story logic it makes perfect sense: the Trinity is naturally attuned to the Earth's mojo, so it can command the energy which was feeding the Troika. (The ultimate home-court advantage, as it were.) More importantly, though, it wraps up most (if not all) of the various Earth-based story threads, from the disappearance of the Trinity to the fight against Morgaine. Naturally, there's more to do now that the Trinitarians are back, not just punishing the Troika and restoring the timeline but fighting Krona, Despero's fleet, and the Crime Syndicate. Twelve issues to do all of that is probably about right.
Finally, for those of you interested in Trinity's place in the timeline, a little nugget appears in this week's Gotham Gazette: Batman Dead? Thanks to Trinity's own Fabian Nicieza, Spoiler muses that Nocturna was "arrested in New Orleans last [she] saw." I took this as a reference to Trinity #6, which actually took place in St. Roch, but I figure Steph's memory is close enough.
Back next week!

'Solidarity Forever' Written 100 Years Ago, Today
On a windblown, gray Chicago day 100 years ago, January 17, 1915, Ralph Chaplin left his home on the South Side for a raucous, poor person's rally at the city's famous women's center, Hull House. He asked a visiting friend he'd met organizing coal miners with Mother Jones to listen to the lyrics of a new tune he had been working on:
Solidarity Forever,
Solidarity Forever,
Solidarity Forever,
For the union makes us strong!
The self-described Chicago "stiff" and "rebel editor" wanted to write a song that could be for workers what "John Brown's Body" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic" were for abolitionists. In fact, he borrowed that very melody.
One hundred years later, despite the rise and precipitous fall of workers' movements in the U.S., Chaplin's song is a classic still widely sung with fists raised and demands for justice submitted. It's an international and national anthem, the official song of the United Auto Workers; it was regularly belted out by "Occupy," and it's still sung every weekday by crowds from 20 to 100 protesters at the Wisconsin State Capitol rotunda.
In place of John Brown's and the Battle Hymn's antagonists, the slaveholders of "Solidarity Forever" are railroad barons and rich "parasites," the takers of "untold millions that they never toiled to earn."
It is we who plowed the prairies, built the cities where they trade
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railway laid
Now we stand outcast and starving 'mid the wonders we have made…
But the song had a surprisingly "viral" ascent to popularity. In Chaplin's own account, "Why I Wrote Solidarity Forever," he tells how the song initially made its way to struggling workers as the nation's first "lumberjack" anthem.
Chaplin's troubadour and journalism work (he also designed the Industrial Workers of the World black cat logo) took him around the country. During strikes for safer conditions and the eight-hour day, his song was introduced to Washington state lumber workers.
"Fifty thousand striking Puget Sound loggers bellered it out to a world that didn't care a hoot about the problems of vote-less Read More

Jessica Biel at Met Gala 2012
Met Gala: Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel's arrival at the Met was decidedly ladylike. Justin Timberlake's better half opted for a pale pink Prada frock, offset with emerald embellishments. The silhouette may be more understated, but a lower neckline and cinched waist played up Biel's flawless figure, while pretty satin add-ons, like her handheld clutch and classic pumps, echoed the hues in her dress. Beneath her long locks, we got a glimpse of her gold drop earrings lending just a little sparkle. What's the verdict — do you love Jessica's Met Gala style?

We received multiple alerts on this, supposed details of the "Courier," Microsoft's new tablet computer.
"Reportedly, the device will also feature a built-in camera, Wi-Fi capability, and a hinge in the middle of the two side by side 7 inch screens, allowing it to fold up like a digital moleskine."
Well, it does look familiar.

Published at Friday, April 26th, 2019 - 03:20:45 AM. Worksheet. By Madeleina Moreau.
Worksheets, workbooks, and printables. Is there a place for them in the early childhood setting? Today I'm explaining why I think worksheets are not appropriate for young children. Welcome to the Child Led Environments Series where we are exploring how to set up and cultivate an environment conducive to child-led learning. How to Cultivate a Love of Learning, Toy Rotation: Why It's Beneficial for You and Your Child, How to Incorporate an Encouraging Home Preschool Environment,9 Reasons Why Worksheets Are Inappropriate for Young Children,4 Aspects of the Adult's Role in a Child-Led Approach. As a parent and educator, when I walk into an environment with early learners, whether that be in a homeschool setting or preschool setting, I want to see those kids engaged in their learning. Young children should be manipulating materials, testing hypothesis, and exploring the world around them. No matter where I look, I should not see a child doing a workbook. Worksheets are not appropriate for young children for many reasons. Let me start off by explaining what a worksheet means to me.
Lost in their favorite gizmos, today's kids are devoid of the fun learning aspect offered by preschool worksheets. For generations, worksheets for kids have been used by educators to develop logical, lingual, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities. It is a proven fact that children learn quickly in their formative years than at any time in their life. As a result, parents and educators give special importance to grooming kid's mind between 3 to 7 years of age who can be easily moulded to confident youngsters. Let us explore the benefits of using worksheets for Nursery to Grade 2 learners. Innovative worksheets for kids created by educationists can be used to teach Maths, English and EVS to make the foundational concepts easy and intriguing in an enjoyable format.

Mr. Penguin is a stuffed penguin that can be found in Panda's room amongst the plethora of stuffed animals he owns. It made its first appearance in the episode "Hibernation".
Mr. Penguin is, of course, black and white. It has comically large eyes and simplified shapes in place of the beak and feet, which are both dark orange. It is made from a textile and is likely stuffed with cotton.
Panda is upset with Grizzly after he finds he had stolen Mr. Penguin to use as padding for Grizzly's "den", which is, in this case, the living room.

Today's assignment was to use our DSLR camera and to take a picture as a wide shot. We needed to create a focal point. We had to make sure we zoomed out and not in. This was hard for me. I automatically want to adjust my lens. I used the P Setting again. But, now I will try AV for the water shot. I did take a few photos of the small town where I live.
I like this photo above. I took it after I voted today around 8:50 am. This is a street I drive every morning. I wished I took this in the Fall when there are leaves on the trees. Just imagine the trees with leaves.
The picture above was also taken in the morning around 9:00 am. This is our Main Street. It is definitely one of my favorite pictures. Our Main Street is always busy during the day. Unfortunately, when I took this photo, it was quiet.
I really appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thank you so much for your great tips!

Rollins has been the Phillies 'Iron Man' so far this year playing in 105 games so far
The Phillies burst onto the 2012 season with high hopes and great expectations. In August now we've seen that the expectations haven't yet been accomplished, as the Phillies have never led the NL East all season for even a day. (After the first game, which the Phillies won, there was a tie for first with several teams)
On the second day of the season, the Phillies were in 3rd place and really never were able to eclipse that even, the most time for them this season has been spent on the bottom of the division in an unlikely last place position.
With the win yesterday, the Phillies are now back out of last place, prior to now they haven't been in 4th place in the NL East since June 27th. They also been in 4th place a few other times this year, but never rose above that mark.
It's a good thing that the MLB decided to add another Wild Card to the playoffs this year, as this is probably the only way in which the Phillies would make the playoffs. As of this morning, they are still 12.5 GB out of the Wild Card spot. It is still attainable for them though if they can just put some solid winning streaks in place.
The Braves are in town for 3 games, and the Phillies need to settle a score with team. The Braves have embarrassed the Phillies so far, and if the Phils have an ounce of pride, they should use it wisely and show the Braves that they aren't as bad as they've played recently by winning against them.
Note to keep in memory: Brian McCann has destroyed the Phillies this year by himself. Charlie Manuel doesn't respect any hitter that hits the Phillies, he downplays it every time and batters like McCann, have taken advantage of that. It's a fact that he's hit at will against us and it's points like this that tells me that Manuel isn't very saavy when it comes to managing a baseball club. He wants no part in helping keep a hot hitter against his team.
McCann has 16 RBI's against the Phillies by himself this year:

Declaring a Major in MEMS
Are you interested in declaring a Medieval and Early Modern Studies major? The first step is finding a faculty member to consult.
Working with a faculty advisor, you will develop individualized major in Medieval and Early Modern Studies. This means that, following the guidelines given below, you plan your courses and write a short explanation of this plan.
When the plan is approved by the advisor and two other faculty members of the Medieval and Early Modern Studies program, you file this document (called a "Contract for an Individualized Major") with the Registrar. The plan should be filed by February 1 of your second year, or as soon as possible after deciding on a MEMS major.
What should you include in your prospectus?
The introduction should describe your interests in medieval and early modern studies, possible career plans, and how MEMS intersects with your other academic interests.
In the body of your essay, discuss the different categories of courses that demonstrate the breadth and depth that you hope to obtain in medieval and early modern studies. You may use the guidelines for the major to organize a discussion why you plan to take certain courses. Or you could organize by time period or theme or region(s) that you plan to focus on. For example, if you are interested in the interaction of Christians and Muslims, you may devote a paragraph discussing your interest in that area and what courses you plan to take that would help contribute to developing your knowledge.
Finally, you will need to discuss plans for a capstone experience. Such an experience might occur as an internship (e.g., at an archive, library, or museum), a research project that combined several disciplines or areas of interest, or a term of study at the Newberry Library. If you are not sure how you plan to complete the capstone experience, list likely possibilities and then state that you plan to add an addendum (approved by your three advisors) when you have finalized your plans.

What a warm humid day almost in May! Baseball games are being played, gardens are being planted, flowers are being bloomed, birds are being nested, bees are being buzzed, rains are being gathered, winds are being blown, and poets are being silly!
The essence of this wordy spiel is the word BEING. "Let everything that has breath and life reveal its Creator, almighty God. (Psalm 150:6)" After enduring the winter doldrums, one cannot hold in the living words, action words, words of LIFE. Yes, it is a time to play, to rejoice, to give thanks to our heavenly Father, for all good things come from Him.
This time of year can be fickle, as this sampling records from the mighty pen of Robert Frost:
Two Tramps in Mud Time
"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
Good thoughts I'm sending your way to embellish your month of May. And as my dad always said: "Keep a liff upper stip!"

Dubai is one of those cities where retailers go out of their way to construct offers that are, at times unbeatable. I shop quite a lot, in-store & online and end up buying things I may or may not use (clothes with tags still on in my wardrobe, I'm looking at you!). At times I regret not waiting for the sale/promotion period because it seems like I've just lost out on good deals.
And the most recent example is that of my purchase at Bobbi Brown. I love this brand and Bobbi has really gone out of her way to create products that are not only beautiful but also have a wonderful effect on the skin. I bought a handful of makeup the other day and then realized I should've waited for Tuesday to avail a 20% discount!
Why? Because City Walk Mall launched the second edition of Her Tuesday, where women can avail discounts at select stores in the mall. And that includes Bobbi Brown!
Her Tuesday, launched on the 27th of September until end of 2017 provides women with special discounts, gifts and promotions across 63 stores within the entertainment, retail and beauty segments, every Tuesday. Isn't that amazing? The offers vary from store to store so it's best to check what's available. Most of them have a 10%-25% off the total bill, complimentary food & beverage or other associated elements,
Within retail, stores such as Bobbi Brown, Shiseido, Carven, Ghawali, M. Micallef Parfums, Chantelle, Armani Exchange, American Vintage, Villeroy & Boch and more are where you can scoop up some interesting goodies by flashing your Her Tuesday card. And within Food & Beverage, it's Mitts & Trays, Saladicious, Aubaine, Cocoa Kitchen, Sugar Factory, Hummingbird Bakery and more. Reel Cinemas, Caboodle, N.Bar among others are also part of the Her Tuesday initiative.
The process is quite simple. Head to the customer service counter in the mall and inform them you'd like a Her Tuesday card. They'll ask you for a few details, take your picture and develop the card on the spot! After that, you are free to shop and avail the offers! Pretty cool, eh? No waiting time, no nothing.
City Walk is located in Jumeirah, Dubai. For a full list of stores part of the Her Tuesday initiative, visit their website.
Let me know what you get!

Protective Behaviours is a preventative life skills program which enables people of all ages and abilities – particularly children – to develop skills which promote resilience and which empower them to deal with a range of difficult, unsafe or abusive situations.
Since 2016 Margie (managing director of HUSHeducation) is Victorian state representative for Protective Behaviours Australia, as such, HUSHeducation are endorsed to offer Body Safety Education sessions for pre-schools and primary schools and for children of all abilities. Margie of HUSHeducation is a qualified Protective Behaviours teacher, presenter and trainer. As well as children's programs and sessions we are able to facilitate workshops and information sessions for parents, staff and the community.
Children are vulnerable to sexual abuse simply because they trust adults and seek their approval. Education and communication are the best safeguards to protect children, and studies show that children from as young as three years old can be taught about body autonomy, safe and unsafe touch, safety networks, early-warning signs and recognising and naming their feelings. All children should know the problem with adults asking them to keep secrets, and that they must always tell a trusted adult if they are feeling unsafe, unsure or uncomfortable. Older children will also learn safety guidelines for online activity.
HUSHeducation are able to tailor Body Safety Education programs for pre-schools, primary schools, kindergartens and all early childhood care providers; as well as for young people with intellectual disability.

How To Find The Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon In Tampa
If you are thinking about getting some plastic surgery done, you really need to find the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Tampa. Do not settle for anything less. This type of surgery is going to define the way that you look like almost nothing else, and it will change your appearance for the rest of your life. If done right, this can be the best thing that you have ever decided to do for yourself, giving you the beautiful appearance that you desire. If done wrong, it could lead you to more surgeries to try to fix the problem, which can be costly and can also take an emotional toll. You need to do your research and find the very best surgeon so that everything goes well.
Starting with a List
The first thing that you should do is to make a list of the surgeons in your area. You want to know what sort of options you are looking at. You need to see who is nearby and who is farther outside of the city. Ideally, you do not want to have to travel too far, but it is worth some travel time if it means that you will meet up with a far superior surgeon. It is best to find a balance, and making a general list should be the first thing that you do.
Considering What They Offer
The next step is just to see what the different surgeons have to offer. Look at the services that they provide and the different types of rhinoplasty that they have done in the past. If there are any on your list that cannot give you the nose job that you want, cross them off the list right away. This will help you to whittle it down a bit and make things easier.
If you are unsure what the surgeon is going to be able to do, it may be worth making a quick phone call or sending over an email. Outline what you want and ask if they would be able to provide it for you. They will usually be quick to get back to you, saving you the trouble of making assumptions that may not actually turn out to be correct.
Check How Long They Have Been In Business
After that, you need to see how long the surgeons have been in business from the BBB so that you can find the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Tampa. Those who are very proficient at their jobs are going to be able to hold these jobs for longer, so you can trust them more easily if they have been in business for decades instead of only a few months. Of course, age does come into play. Someone who is incredibly talented but who only graduated from school recently may not have much history, but this does not diminish their skills. At the same time, though, the longevity of an older physician shows you that he is giving his customers and clients results that they love.
Ask About Experience
Another thing that is beneficial about going to someone who has been in business for so long is that he is going to have a lot of experience. They will have done procedures like the one that you want dozens and perhaps even thousands of times. They will really know what they are doing, and nothing will be left up to chance. In any profession, people get better at what they do the longer they do it. To find an excellent surgeon, you need to find someone who feels like the surgery that he is doing is incredibly routine since he has done it so many times.
Turn to Internet Reviews
Another thing that can help you is to spend some time looking at the reviews that you can find online. They give you insight from other people who have had the same work done, so you can learn about the results without having to see them on yourself. The one thing to keep in mind when doing this, though, is that people tend to complain online more often than they give positive reviews – the principle behind this is that the people who like the results feel less emotional about them – so the overall results could be skewed a bit.
Meet the Surgeon in Person
Finally, you cannot find the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Tampa if you do not meet him in person. Come in for a consultation and sit down and talk to him. You can learn a lot about what he is like as a person and as a professional. He can answer any questions that you have and explain exactly how it would all work for you. After you visit a few surgeons like this, it should be very easy to make your decision.

So the unofficial, completely speculative'truth' is this: DS 2 already exists and will be released later this year. It's been in the hands of developers for months. There are things we know and features we'd bet on it having. Such as...
Things we're certainit'll have:
Hardly any gap between the screens
The gap is said to be so small, developers will be able to use them as one big screen if they see fit.
Above: This is a DSi-based mock-up with the middle chopped off(did you guess?), but we'd imagine the screens are like that
Innardsas powerful as a Gamecube
And that means it can probably handle Wii games too. Nintendo is hardly going to make Sony's mistake of having its new handheld be slightly inferior to console tech. Nobody wants to see the console struggling to do Wind Waker-quality graphics, do they?
A built-in accelerometer
While you almost certainly won't be swinging the whole unit at imaginary tennis balls like an ultra-expensive and fragile Wiimote, aping the iPhone's tilt sensor opens up a new avenue of handheld gameplay. And if iPhone's apps can appear in PSP's 'Minis' store, there's no reason they can't be right at home on DS 2 as well.
A Pokemon game soon after launch
The Pokemon company is said to have been thefirst developerto be given a dev kit for the new machine. Will we finally get the 3D Pokemon game we've always dreamed of? There's more chance of it now than ever.
But... it'll probably just be SoulSilver with the pedometer built in via the accelerometer. Come on, you KNOW that's the more likely of the two.
Features we expect it'll have:
An in-built hard drive.
DSi already has expandable storage for full-sized downloadable games, and we'd expect DS2 to have a PSP Go-style hard drive forgames, music and maybe even (finally) movies too.
Games on cartridges instead of disc media
While it would be awesome to have the new unit backwards compatible with all gGamecube games like the Wii, it's almost certainly NOT going to feature a disc drive. Nintendo prides itself onthe battetry life of its handhelds and its customers wouldn't enjoy sitting through PSP-style load times either. Plus cartridges may as well just be flash memory cards these days -the technology's getting cheap enough.
Virtual Console crossover
It wouldn't be a surprise at all to see Virtual Console games become licensed to your DS 2 when you buy them on Wii and vice versa. PSP already does this with PSone games downloaded from PSN and frankly we're surprised DS doesn't do this already.
Wi-Fi access only
DS2 will not be a mobile phone. It'll undoubtedly connect to the net with a great deal of its functionality coming from online services, but it's not going to compete directly with iPhone.
A cheap(ish) price point
We'd expect the machine to be at most as expensive as a Wii. Gamecube technology may be cheap to cram into a home console, but we should imagine miniaturisation of it would still be fairly expensive. Unless it really isn't and Nintendo's been pocketing millions all this ti... oh.

The Sci-Fi future that we thought was so far away is actually nearing and becoming more of a reality everyday. As seen in the animation show Futurama where our young protagonist Fry get frozen in a container and later he gets thawed out one thousand years later into the future, this type of freezing all though maybe not as long is looming among us. We turn to look at this concept becoming more reliable in the field of medicine when it comes to with organs for organ transplants.
One of the main problems with organ transplants is essentially like with food, organs outside of the body have a certain "Shelf life". Because of this we are losing many organs and money trying to keep these organs only to have them lost. Part of the problem is when chilling organs the problem isn't chilling them, but getting them rewarmed to use them in a quick manner because ice particles will form if they aren't unfrozen fast enough and the organ will be lost. Apparently at the University of Michigan have created an innovative way to help increase the viability of the organs.
A solution of silica with iron coated nanoparticles seem to be the answer. Essentially how it works is that they would freeze the organs in a process called vitrification where theoretically the organs would be viable for an eternity and when you need to use them, they would use an electromagnetic field, and through the electromagnet waves the nanoparticles would be excited which is called inductive heating. And since the problem is with getting the whole organ heated, they would have the nanoparticles equally but well dispersed and because of this the whole organ would be heated at the same time.
They scaled this and tested with this up to 50 milliliters which brought back a pig's artery but that is really far from a whole heart. They are planning to do with Rat kidneys but there is still so much to do. The other problem occurs because since the heart has many valves and chambers, dispersing them equally will be harder than a more compacted organ like a kidney so thats one obstacle they need to get around. Although we are a long way away from freezing full bodies like Fry from Futurama, we are getting closer to a future of full cryopreservation.

LOS ANGELES, Calif.A never-before-released Glen Campbell live album, Bill Medley's post-Righteous Brothers solo albums for MGM, a 1975 album by Maggie & Terre Roche of the Roches, a retrospective of country singer Jody Miller's Epic Records years and two new Dick's Picks volumes from the Grateful Dead headline the January 2012 lineup for Real Gone Music
The multi-talented Glen Campbell, who has enjoyed a 50-year career as singer, guitarist and television personality, is the recent recipient of much warm sentiment as he released his final album and embarked on his final tour. Campbell's 1975 Live in Japan was originally issued only across the Pacific. The album will receive its worldwide CD release on January 24, 2011. Glen is at the peak of his powers here, pulling favorites from his vaunted songbook while displaying his usual unerring taste in covers (Conway Twitty's It's Only Make Believe," Paul Anka's My Way"). The album was released in a gorgeous gatefold package that Real Gone has faithfully reproduced along with other graphic elements. It's a timely tribute to one of the great American music entertainers.
Also on January 24, Real Gone will release reissues from Bill Medley and Maggie & Terre Roche and a Jody Miller compilation. Bill Medley recorded two late '60s albums for MGM RecordsBill Medley 100% and Soft & Soulfulafter his split from fellow Righteous Brother Bobby Hatfield. Fans of the Righteous Brothers' blue-eyed soul will find plenty to like as the two albums feature the act's signature marriage of pop and R&B with the studio chops you'd expect from an artist who learned from Phil Spector (and himself produced some of the Righteous Brothers' biggest hits).
Seductive Reasoning, the 1975 Columbia Records album by sisters Maggie and Terre Roche of the Roches and the first release from the Roche family, features the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and, on one track, production and backing vocals from Paul Simonto whose There Goes Rhymin' Simon the sisters had recently contributed backing vocals. This 36-year-old hybrid of folk, country and pop sounds like it could have been made yesterday, with its stream-of-consciousness urban streetscapes and post-feminist attitudes toward love and sex, all leavened by a sweet vulnerability. Maggie Roche contributes notes and photos from her private archive.
With The Complete Epic Hits, Real Gone takes a long-overdue look at pioneering country- pop crossover artist Jody Miller, whose 1965 Queen of the House" was the answer song to Roger Miller's King of the Road." In 1970, she switched from Capitol to Epic Records and under of guidance of countrypolitan production guru Billy Sherrill notched a string of chart hits throughout the decadeall 25 of which appear in this 69-minute collection. Featured are Top 10 hits He's So Fine," There's a Party Goin' On," Darlin' You Can Always Come Back Home" and Good News." Again, Jody contributes photos from her private archive.
The Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks series, curated by the band's fabled archivist Dick Latvala, continues to chronicle the band's long strange trip with Dick's Picks Vol. 33Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, CA 10/9 & 10/10/76 and Dick's Picks Vol. 32Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, WI 8/7/82both due out January 24, 2012. The former finds the Dead back on the road following an 18-month touring hiatus and back to full two- drummer strength opening for the Who as part of Bill Graham's historic Day on the Green concerts. The latter finds them at Alpine Valleyequidistant between Chicago and Milwaukeeperforming bluesman Jesse Fuller's Beat It On Down the Line" and the Memphis Jug Band's On the Road Again," both part of the pre-Dead repertoire of the Warlocks in the mid-'60s. These are two of the most sought-after volumes in the series.
Finally, the Real Gone/ABKCO releases feature two famous artists from the hallowed Cameo-Parkway label vaults. The first, The Tymes, were among the label's big stars, notching such hits as So Much in Love" and Wonderful! Wonderful!." Both of these are part of Real Gone/ABKCO's first-time-on-CD release of the group's first album. Also included is Roscoe James McLain," the rare non-LP B-side of the So Much in Love" single as well as Surf City" from the multi-artist Parkway album Everybody's Goin' Surfin.' The second, Maynard Ferguson, needs little introduction as he was one of the most celebrated trumpeters in jazz. This release, sourced from a series of jazz albums that Cameo released in 1963 and 1964, is comprised of Ferguson's two 1963 albums for the label. The first, New Sounds of Maynard Ferguson now also includes The Song Is You," a never-before- released gem from the session that was discovered while researching tapes for this album. The track makes its debut on this release. Come Blow Your Horn was Ferguson's second album for Cameo; both albums represent his complete recordings for the label, documenting a long-overlooked chapter in Ferguson's career that came between better- known stints with Roulette and Mainstream. These recordings make their CD debut and street on January 31.
