CD (Item 382554) Mode/VSOP, 1957 — Condition: New Copy
Brilliant work by a singer we know little about – but who really sparkles on this session! Singer Laurie Allyn was making something of a name for herself on the Chicago scene of the mid 50s when she was courted by Mode Records, and brought to LA for this rare studio session – but unfortunately the label went out of business not long after the tunes were recorded, and the album never saw the light of day at the time! The quality of the music is tremendous – higher than even the other Mode vocal sessions, and done with a depth and feeling that we'd rank with a rare few others from the 50s. Marty Paich handled arrangements on the record, and Laurie's backed by a core group that includes Al Viola, Red Mitchell, Mel Lewis, and Paich – plus larger horns and additional strings on a number of tracks. And although we always appreciate Paich's arrangements, the charm here is mostly Laurie's own – as she sings with a sultry sensitivity to the material that really transforms the familiar tunes into deeply personal statements. That quality's a rare one, even for a well-known singer – and we're extra happy that this great session's finally seen the light of day at last! Titles include "Easy Living", "You're So Bad For Me", "You Go To My Head", "All I Need Is You", "Paradise", "Take Me In Your Arms", and "That's What A Woman Is For". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Bravo to the volunteers!

Perhaps I missed it, but I never saw a list of places published to do volunteer work on Volunteer/Mitzvah Day.
I don't feel guilty for not showing up because I do volunteer work 3+ times a week and am reliable. I have the time because I am retired. People who are working and have children to raise usually have no time or energy left over to volunteer to do something on a regular basis. A one day project probably works well for them and their families.
I hope that Volunteer Day and Mitzvah Day also stress keeping commitments even if you are not going to be paid for the work. I have been told that a lot of volunteers make commitments to show up or do something and then do not. Many thanks to those volunteers who keep their commitments and do the best they can.

lux, i think i understand now why you responded that way at first to anna k. sometimes we get so wrapped up to supporting each other and being positive, we forget that it is also healing to acknowledge our fears and insecurities, outloud (or in bold-face type) without having someone totally deflate them. i mean, it's like that old adage about how men and women complain about their problems right? when women complain to men, men always want to offer a solution and try and 'fix' the problem. and then women get pissed and say, 'i don't want you to fix it, i just want you to listen!' it is cathartic to get things off your chest (no pun intended). thank you for clarifying, and despite all my 'love yourself,' philosophy, there are definetly days when i wake up and just wish i was different. it's a constant battle, but any kind of psychological self-improvement is incredibly difficult and you have to actively change the way you think. as for the issue with your girlfriend, wow, that list sounds brutal. this may be a little after-school special style, but now that you've made that list, couldn't the two of you sit down and make two seperate lists of a different kind? lists that say all the things that you love about eachothers bodies/personalities. it would be a could excercise in complimenting eachother and might help you discover that despite her critical nature, she really does find you quite sexy.
knorl, sometimes i feel like the fat kid that has to make fun of herself before anyone else does. i will talk about the fact that my breasts are small, openly, laugh about them, discuss the pros and cons. it's all so i can remain on the offensive and not get my feelings hurt. i've never had to do that at the gyno because i have this jolly nurse practictioner lady with whom i can discuss just about anything. i did go so far as to have her put me on the highest estrogen level birth control available just to see if it would make my tits grow. no luck. but it did succeed in making me totally insano. i'm dealing with genetics here. simple as that. i don't think that paris hilton got a boob job, but then again, i'm pretty out of the loop down here in Costa. In fact, I should say that after this post I'll be MIA for about a week (we're starting a census of all the monkey species in the park and i've got to camp out for the next 10 days). despite the fact that paris hilton kinda makes me want to pukey, i did have respect for her and nicky never taking the plastic surgery plunge. let's think of some other celebrities who are 'keepin' it real.' keira knightly, kate hudson, cameron diaz, kate bosworth, though now that i think of it, all this women are tiny tiny tiny and don't have bodies like me at all. can anyone think of a slightly more filled out woman with small breasts? hmmmm. -------------------- "To lose everything at the edge of such a glorious eternity is far sweeter than to win by plodding through a cautious, painless, and featureless life."

Hey, does anyone know if Paris Hilton really got a boob job or not? I saw it in a celebrity rag last night. Now, I'm not a big fan of Paris or celebrities in general, but I always loved how she flaunted her small boobies, even when she could definetely afford implants. She always made small boobs look HOT. Someone puh-lease tell me it's a lie--that she didn't get them!!

Some responses to others' posts:
Anna K: Wow, "exaggerated femininity." I never thought of it that way. Yes, I could see how that would be tough to deal with--how people make assumptions about you because of a large chest. I think that would drive me crazy, too. I appreciate your input and will try and remember that next time I get down on myself. DJ Biz, you are so right on--the grass is always greener & attractiveness above all comes from inner confidence! Definetely something to meditate on. And yes, there are ass men, breast men, and evrything else--if you love yourself, the ones that will love you as you are will come along. A Cup Lover, your comments (and your screen name) made my day! No, not that I need a man's--or anyone's--approval, but sometimes it's just really nice to get a compliment! Lux, I luuuve the list you came up with for your friend. I think some people just don't realize what they are saying. You probably helped her out by pointing that out to her. Sounds like she has some personal things to deal with |

anna k - maybe came on a bit hars, sorry about that. i just feel like anytime there's any talk about breast, i always get to hear my bustier friends complaining. this just seems to be one of the few places where it's possible to communicate with others that maybe have similar issues with their breasts that i do. sometimes you just need a place for saying that, you'd like to go to any store and just pick up bra and they'd have it in your size. sometimes i just need to say that i'm not all that happy about the size of my breasts, without having to feel ever so grateful for not getting back pains.
or maybe i should just start sending mails to the locall stores and tell them that there actually are people that would like to buy bras in AA sizes:) the truth is that usually i'm pretty happy with my body, and i try to focus on that when i'm not. sometimes it just a bit hard, because boobs seem to be everywhere. i meen there's so much talk about them, and they are a cultural symbol for femininity. it's kind of hard never to think about them. dj-biz - i've tried telling that to her, but i don't think she really gets it. she has a tendency to make harsh comments about the way other people look, and then she's wondering why i'm so self-conscious. after the one time i commented her weight, and she got really upset, she dared to say that she never says anything like that about me. so i made her a list of all the things she's said to me. and that's everything from top to toes, all from hair colour to short legs and big hands. haven't heard that many comments after that:) she just doesn't understand how her comments affect me. ok, now i'm getting into too many not breast related issues. |

dj-biz: thanks for your feedback, i always enjoy reading what you write.
i've got to go into work soon but i just wanted to post real quick about what a big dork i am. so i went to a new gyno today and we were talking about breast exams and i just nervously laughed and said "i dont have to worry about that because my boobs are so small". she had enough sense and maturity to ignore my comment. it's weird tho, i sometimes, not always, but sometimes i feel i need to explain or make excuses for my breast size. it's my damn self-consciousness leaking through when i'm in uncomfortable situations. -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C.

I post in here sometimes to cheer you guys on, and to tell that anyone who is wanting bigger breasts the disadvantages of them. I've been busty since I was 13, so I was jealous of smaller breasts and didn't want this exaggerated feminity on me, Jessica Rabbit style.

knorl- i still can't figure out how to get the quote option to work on these threads (i am technologically challenged), but i couldn't agree with you more on every point you made. however, although i agree that breasts are a symbol of feminity, i think their oversexualization and the obession with size is a western phenomena (though the standards of western beauty are spreading, especially in places like China) and not some biologically based drive. since the dawn of human beings existence, men have desired attractive women, but what designated 'attractive,' has always and will always be subject to change. like you said, do you really want to invest any extra time and energy into worrying about what some one (who is so shallow as to only value one part of your body) else thinks of you? you are dead on knorl, there are just so many more important and valuable aspects of being alive.
anna k, as far as i'm concerned, you can post in here all you like. i enjoy hearing what it's like from the other side and it helps to put things in perspective. i have really tried in my posts not to demonize or criticize women who are bustier than me. that's just the way you were made, and just like i don't enjoy being pitied or put down by my more voluptious counterparts, i wouldn't want to do the same thing back to them. some of us may be longing for bigger breasts, but we don't really see what some of the hardships of that might be, such as back-pain, constantly having to wear a bra and never having anyone look you in the eye, or getting called out as a whore just because you decide to show your cleavage. you have every right to wear what makes you feel comfortable or beautiful. i personally have no cleavage and no option to create any, even with the help of a wonder bra. the skin on my chest will fold in two before my breasts will touch! i have two girlfriends with huge breasts, one of whom had a reduction two years ago from a DD to a C. she is so happy now and she has really helped me to appreciate my body more. the irony is, both of my friends always talk about how they wish they had breasts like mine. i've said it before, but the grass is always greener. i know most of my statements are about heterosexual attractiveness, but that's just my experiental base. lux-it really sucks that your girlfriend is so negative about they way you look. can you tell her how hurtful it is to hear that and that even if she feels she must make statements to that effect she should at least temper it with something positive about your body? -------------------- "To lose everything at the edge of such a glorious eternity is far sweeter than to win by plodding through a cautious, painless, and featureless life."

well anna k, since you have the option of showing your cleavage if you so wish, i think your post belongs somewhere else.
i really wouldn't mind having a cleavage, specially since my dear girlfriend keeps telling me that i'd be sexually more attractive if i had bigger breasts. se yeah, gay women are not all fun and games when it comes to breasts. if someone was still wondering about that. |

I always felt like big breasts were overrated, and I have D's. I never liked showing them off or trying to use them to be sexy. I often wear tanks underneath shirts that would show them off because I don't like a lot of cleavage, I prefer to keep them for myself rather than stick them out like insane appendages.

dj-biz: i've found the same thing from a lot of guys and the whole big boob thing.. (not to knock ladies with big boobs) but guys i know have said that after a while big boobs become boring and get in the way. i've also heard guys say that anything bigger than what would fit into a martini glass is too much. and most supermodels have barely there breasts as well. it's weird, i think everyone has issues with their bodies.. some just have deeper issues than others. we can look around and see all these messages that say we're not good enough, or -like you said- we can focus on the positive instead. sure it sucks when we feel we dont measure up in some areas, but if we are strong in others, it really shouldnt matter. i think we also have to look to our own beliefs as a factor in what the comments/reactions say to us.. as though, if we were ok with ourselves, their approval or disapproval wouldnt affect us so deeply. it's just a part of who we are, not the whole.. imo if there are people out there who care that much about that one part, they are obviously not someone i want to interact with anyway so their opinion means shit to me.
i dunno... what is any of this really? the people who truly see me and care about me for who i am dont seem to worry about it, so why have i? it's just a stupid distraction anyway. big boobs, small boobs, whatever.. they're boobs. different strokes for different folks. there's so much other stuff that deserves my attention in life that i refuse to let some misconception society may or may not have about boobs stop me from living how i want to live. so i'm never gonna be a busty babe, who the fuck cares. i'm gonna be a small busted babe, and that determines nothing about my worth or potential or womanhood. period. a cup: thanks for the feedback, that's very considerate of you. (ps. i think i touched on my issue with it... i feel like women throughout history have had this very feminine aspect of whom they are bring them power and admiration. and i guess i've felt left out. boo hoo. maturity, sex appeal, confidence, power.. all come from within the individual. and i'd rather be happy with whom i am, than fit into some subjectively idealized picture of human perfection anyway. because like 'a cup lover' pointed out, we may already be perfect in some eyes. and we may be more scrutinized by others, but that's just how it seems to be for people who are strong enough to be their own person.) -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C.

I know that guys aren't really supposed to post here and I really don't mean to troll... but, I just wanted to let you all know that there are a lot of guys out there that find small breasts incredibly sexy. I'm a 25 year old guy and I would much rather be with a cute, intelligent, interesting woman with A cups or less than some gigantic utters. And, I know that there are a lot of guys out there like me. It amazes me that girls would spend so much money to buy special push up bras or get surgery when there are so many of us who love smaller breasts.

i have had similar experiences with karategrrl, though we've talked about it before in this thread and there was some one (who's name escapes me now, so very sorry) who had the most criticism come from women she had been with. i haven't been intimate with a woman, beyond fully clothed flirtation, but for the most part, they have described my breasts as 'exquisite, unique perfection,' among other things.
as for men, i have to say that if you've got small breasts, most likely you won't end up in a long term relationship with a breast-man, ya know? just as if you had an aversion to red-headed guys, you most likely (though there are exceptions to every rule) won't end up getting serious about one. sometimes, you just don't know when you start dating a guy. i dated this guy in college and we'd been together for about 3 months. i was prancing around in just my white cotton undies, examining my form when i said, 'you know, the guy that falls for me won't be a breast man, he'll be an ass man,' because that is a region where god(dess) has blessed me (thanks be to that higher power!). he just shrugged and said, 'i'm a breast man.' well FUCK?! why'd ya have to go and say that out loud. it was exceedingly rude and unnecessary. i wanted to cover up and go hide in the corner. i never shook that comment. needless to say, we broke up, but it had nothing to do with my breasts and everything to do with a litany of other psychological problems this guy had. but, come on?!! i've never thought a man i was dating was perfect, but i certainly wouldn't tell him, 'ya know, i like big dicks, and you just aren't up to snuff.' you gotta keep that stuff to yourself and focus on the POSITIVE. on that note, the majority of men i've been with have given me nothing but compliments on my breasts. my last serious boyfriend (now ex, for unrelated factors) were having the 'ex' discussion and he was talking about his last girlfriend, who happened to be very very busty. he said out when they first started dating, he was excited, because he'd never been with a woman with that kind of body before. however after fooling around a few times with her, he realized he didn't really enjoy it all that much. he then turned to me and said, 'it was such a let down and now i'd much prefer something like...' and he started flipping through one of my magazines frantically, then looked up, pointed straight at my chest and said, 'that!' how sweet! in fact, i was in a similar situation last summer with my current, non-serious gentleman friend. same type of situation, we were sitting in my room and i was getting dressed, scrutinizing myself because i thought i'd gained some weight in the past month. i knew i was baiting him, just like i had with the boyfriend in college, but i made some comment in passing similar to my first one about breast men and ass men. he waved his hand and said, 'bah, big tits are overrated.' even though i still remember every rude, unkind comment or criticism some one has made about my breasts, i always try to balance it in my mind with all the positive feedback i've gotten. it just goes to show, there are different preferences out there, (and this is going to be a very heteronormative diatribe, but that's my main level of experience) breast men, ass men, men who love legs, hips, stomachs, ears, necks, long fingers, big feet, little feet, curly hair, blonde hair, no hair etc. you can't waste your time agonizing about how to please everyone. as lapis said, regardless of where the drive to fit into some modicum of beauty comes from, self acceptances is very empowering. and in the end, NOTHING is sexier than confidence. oh, and i also found this thread through a google search, it's what got me into the whole bust lounge culture (now i'm addicted, thank you very much.) the worst part of the google search was the fact that i got a warning that i might be innudated with pornographic websites if i used those particular search terms. blegh. so glad i found you ladies, like i said before, it gives me strength to know that you are all out there in the world! -------------------- "To lose everything at the edge of such a glorious eternity is far sweeter than to win by plodding through a cautious, painless, and featureless life."

I'd be curious to know if anyone here has actually gotten ANY negative feedback from a boyfriend/girlfriend/fuckbuddy/etc. I bet it's really rare! Actually, I've gotten the best feedback from gay & bi women. Straight men have, unfortunately, been the worst overall in being satisfied with my breasts. I'll NEVER forget two comments from 2 different women I was seeing (I'm bi): One said my breasts were "perfect" (and I couldn't keep her off them!!!) The other said, "Your body is a work of art." Ahh, YESSS! As for the guys, I never got comments like that. I've gotten the "What cute little handfuls" comments (Bleargh!) and my all-time fave, "Well, if you decided to get implants--for yourself, of course--I'd be okay with that." (Gee, thanks for telling me what I can do with my own body. Bleargh! again.) DessieAnn, I'm SO glad things are looking up for you!!!! We're here for you! One thing I mentioned many, many posts back that bears repeating is, I made a collage for myself of all kinds of beautiful, sexy women--who just happen to be small-busted. It's a big confidence-booster for when I need it, and it might help you as well. Keep your eyes open for pics from catalogues, magazines, even do some internet searches and print stuff out. When I get depressed looking through the Victoria's Secret catalogue, I pull out my collage and feel instantly better! BTW, I found this group through a Google search. I've found online support groups for many different things through the years. It's amazing what's/who's out there! Love you guys, Karategrrl |

On to other points I wanted to make: "But I know people with implants, nose jobs, ect. who are really secure and confident because that surgery was what they wanted to fulfill an image of themselves" I understand this, but my beef is, WHERE does that image come from? Men who think small is not attractive? The implant manufacturers who just want to make money? There isn't a woman out there who just wakes up one day and says, "I hate my breasts because...because....well, because they are small!" It is this "ideal image" we are fed--in advertisements, movies, music videos, the media--that is feeding us a "bigger is better," "ideal" image to mold ourselves into. Why not change your outlook to embrace the image you were made in, rather than change your image to fit someone else's outlook? Body images can come from a number of places--beyond or in addition to the media. For example, family trends in body types might inform peoples' sense of what they should have (my family is mostly pretty buxom, except for me), prevailing cultural stereotypes may present in everyday conversations (traveling can bring this out in serious ways when people from a different country notice or comment on your figure), and I truly believe that you can have a sense of who you should have been--perhaps in the same way that trans people might feel that they weren't born into the body they expected and rather choose another form more appropriate to how they see themselves. Really basic notions of sexual difference could make women want larger breasts on just a gut kind of level. It's doubtful that men want big dicks just because of porn or media--there's probably some kind of biological drive behind it. And perhaps media manipulates some of those drives--but people can define beauty and their bodies for themselves, whether satisfied or not. I hesitate to blame the media for all body image ideals because images and ideals can come from other places, too. This conversation about the media can dovetail some stuff in the "pretty girl" thread because, in my opinion, people have agency to choose their personal aesthetics and aren't always victims of patriarchy or media. People have aspirations and concepts of beauty which transcend what they are exposed to--where did counterculture come from if not from peoples' imaginations? Anyway, I think media can play a role but I believe it gives the media too much power and people not enough to say that our ideal are entirely derivative from media. And disengaging from media, rendering it powerless, can be a step toward self definition and love. Before media existed there were body norms and people who embraced or eschewed them. Anyway, self- acceptance is a wonderful, empowering thing, and sometimes choosing to modify your body in a way that makes you happy can be wonderful and empowering, too--wherever that "look" comes from. Inside each person exists a creative force powering self-definition, self-love, and even discontentment. |

Thank you, all of you, for those who have responded to my cry for help. I read all your posts and all your thoughts. Thank you, thank you and thank you. You are all right and all brought up valid points. Yes, I have consulted a therapist, and she directed me to finding this thread, she could not remember the name, but told me to type in small breast support groups. I already feel better. You all brought me back up. Brought me to the place where I can finally see what is real, what is important, what I have to be thankful for, that I am ok just the way I am. I'm lucky to be alive for goodness sake, and I want to live long enough to see one of my kids give me a grandchild, even though I will probably be a "younger" grandma. This weekend, my hubby took me to shop for some blouses (that show I have a little cleavage) and pretty under things. He had me model them for him, and he bought the whole lot for me. Then he took me out on the town and said....see.....you are getting attention! It was then that I realized, I don't really need or want another man's attention but his! He thinks I'm beautiful, and I'm lucky. Then another though occured to me and hit me like a lightening bolt.....his opinion IS important to me, but my own is more important. I felt better. Just realizing this, a huge weight was lifted. Then I came in this morning and saw all of you have replied to me, gave me support, words of wisdom and empathy. Bless you all. It brought me to tears. I was really, truely and deeply touched. Thank you all of you. It really helped and I feel so much better. About everything. I am not alone, and their is nothing wrong with me the way I am! Larger breasted women are not superior to me, they are just different. It is the difference between us all that makes the world a richer place. And yes, there are some who use this particular part of their bodies to make themselves feel, look or act superior. And that is their issue. It doesn't have to be mine. So, today, I went and checked out each of my friends who had the implant surgery and congratulated them on achieving for themselves what they wanted. I don't want this for myself. It is not possible, and I no longer want it. I'm just little and small framed anyway - I'd look and FEEL ridiculous if I did it anyway. The world will always throw at us and image of perfection, that most of us will never be able to acheive. But inner peace and happiness and acceptance with ourselves (me, in particular here) - is what is most important to living life to it's fullest. I've been given a "miracle" second chance. Most women never survive Ovarian Cancer. I was lucky. And I am blessed and I'm just going to focus on that. You are all just terrific women, your openness and willingness to share and console me is a gift I am treasuring and cherishing. Thank you all. Big hug to all of you.

I just wanna say I'm so glad I found this forum! I am the only one whose noticed/experienced this? That all the 'haters' I've experienced through my life are straight women. I've gotten nothing but positive feedback from straight guys and lesbians...people who actually want to see my boobs! And honestly when it comes to sex I don't have problems with showing them, and the response has been 100% so far But put me in a change room with a buncha straight girls and I'm changing in the bathroom stall. I was eating lunch with my friends in high school and two of them started arguing (one has A cups the other DD). The one friend with big breasts decides to end the argument by saying "Those with B cups or larger raise your hands", so of course everyone shoots their hands in the air (which is fucking sad btw that they felt the need to do that without thinking, as if you can't tell by looking anyway) and me and the other girl are sitting there with our hands down feeling like arseholes. In the end I told them how fucked that was, women turning on each other like that, and ate lunch somewhere else that day. There's also the random comments while watching tv or a movie and someone takes their shirt off; "She's so flat", "OMG her boobs are so small!" Meanwhile the girl's boyfriend is always like "mmmm....titties" or "I'd like to put those in my mouth", etc. I also remember my mom talking to her friend in the living room and I was in earshot while her friend was going on about how big her daughter's breasts have gotten and saying don't worry that I am a late bloomer and it will happen eventually. I was 17 I think at that point, and I knew that my breasts weren't going to get bigger. I think my mom said something like "it doesn't matter anyway", but I think to her it kinda did. This shit used to really get to me in high school but I think I've stopped letting it for the most part. So just remember, the people you get naked with don't care if your breasts are big or small they just wanna see 'em! I'd be curious to know if anyone here has actually gotten ANY negative feedback from a boyfriend/girlfriend/fuckbuddy/etc. I bet it's really rare! |

I just wanna say I'm so glad I found this forum! I am the only one whose noticed/experienced this? That all the 'haters' I've experienced through my life are straight women. I've gotten nothing but positive feedback from straight guys and lesbians...people who actually want to see my boobs! And honestly when it comes to sex I don't have problems with showing them, and the response has been 100% so far But put me in a change room with a buncha straight girls and I'm changing in the bathroom stall.

I just typed in Support for small busted women. I was looking for help with my issues. I found you all by accident. But I am very glad I found you all, as it has helped me so much. I already feel better and stronger. I'm coming to a peaceful place with myself. You all have helped me so much to see what is real, what is important and that I'm ok they way I am.
Thank you so much! Dessie Ann |

Hi friends!
It's my first day off in over a week! It's lovely just to sit at home, drink coffee, call the folks, and just breathe for a moment.
Last weekend was the ODC Dance Jam's fifth home season performance, V ("Five"). I helped organize their costumes and arrange the opening night reception. I'm so proud of these teen's dedication and hard work. Not only do they rehearse and perform new and old works by a stunning array of Bay Area choreographers, they also do all the organizing, fundraising, ticket-selling, reception planning, marketing & PR work for their show. The ODC Dance Jam is awesome. No other way to say it. My favorite piece in their show was Scott Wells' new work for the Jam. I happily worked with him to put together the costumes for it and I love how rock & roll he let me make it! Wells' piece is humorous, high energy, and always makes me tear up a bit when three dancers come forward for an intimate moment with the audience to tell them about why they dance. The last, and best, line:
"Actually, it doesn't make sense to talk about dance. We dance because words are insufficient to our reality. And, also, lets change the music."
Cue the Smashing Pumpkins.
As the Jam did their last performances, I was getting the costumes organized to be loaded into the truck to take ODC's 41st annual home season, Dance Downtown, to YBCA. We loaded in the next day and the majority of my week was spent pulling last minute costume details together. Oh the flurry of costume shopping, sewing, notes, organizing, and laundry! The 12 hour days of dress rehearsals right before opening nights were the hardest, but also the most satisfying. It's a magical time, to stand in the house with the choreographers, or in the wings with the dancers, and witness it all come together.
All of the works presented this year I enjoy for different reasons. I love Kimi Okada's brilliantly humorous, culture questioning, I look vacantly at the Pacific.. though regret, which has the best costumes and I always laugh out loud during! I could discuss for hours the juxtaposition of Brenda Way's all-female Breathing Under Water and KT Nelson's all-male Cut Out Guy, but then I would get sidetracked talking about the sweet live music manipulations of Zoe Keating and the Magik*Magik Orchestra. Way's Raking Light raises questions, and Part of a Longer Story delights, but I am quite taken with Nelson's Transit.
As my boyfriend Matt put it, after he saw the opening night performance, "It's a slice of San Francisco." You see relationships, a family, human interactions unfold over the course of a day. Three amazing custom built bicycles (imagine if a bike mated with a park bench, another with an outdoor cafe table complete with umbrella…) that fly across and around the stage. If you ever get a chance to see them up close, they are unwieldy beasts, but in their relationship with the dancers' skill, they become light-weight, well-oiled, performing machines. A cloud of hanging Edison bulbs flicker on and off, and they could be stars, streetlights, lights in buildings in a city scape…
I love being in the wings for this piece, in my super important role as newspaper collector, costume quick change artist, and bicycle-butt-straightening assistant. For this piece, and the others, I get a different perspective on the performance than the audience, and it's still magical. Maybe even more! They should charge extra for my seat (not that I would give it up!)! Seeing the wheels turning, how the cogs are in place – I have so much respect for the choreographers and these dancers, and the process that makes this magic happen. Just like the bikes, a well-oiled, working machine: a work of art producing art.
Here is video of the outdoor performance of Transit ODC did last fall for the SF Trolley dances. I love this version, too, especially the library patrons wandering in and out of the performance.
Transit/SF Trolley Dances from ODC Dance on Vimeo.
Lastly, my words are truly insufficient to describe how beautiful all of the ODC SF dancers are, in every piece, every performance. As dancers, as people, on stage - breathtaking.
I am so lucky to spend these backstage hours with them, in our wardrobe fittings, laughing, hysterically tired, telling dirty jokes. I feel that I am just a small cog in this performance machine, or the very youngest sister in this dance family (pick your metaphor), but I couldn't feel more blessed to be a part of it all.
Come see ODC SF Dance Downtown at YBCA this week!
- Liz, ODC SF Wardrobe Supervisor

The newer acts on the bill include Best New Artist Grammy winner Bon Iver, Foster the People, The Avett Brothers, The Shins, Feist, The Civil Wars, hotshot guitarist Gary Clark, Jr., soul belter Charles Bradley & His Extrordinaires, and electronic musician-producer Skrillex, who recently got all three members of The Doors to record with him. The Word is a new band with Medeski, pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph and The North Mississippi Allstars.
JAGGER TO SING AT WHITE HOUSE To celebrate blues music as part of Black History Month, Brits Mick Jagger and Jeff Beck will join B.B. King andBuddy Guy in a performance
FINAL GLEN CAMPBELL L.A. GIG Glen Campbell, who at 75 and battling Alzheimer's, and on his "Goodbye Tour, says his June 24 concert at the Hollywood Bowl will be his final Los Angeles concert. His special guest will be Jackson Browne.
WHITNEY'S FINAL FILM "Sparkle," a musical featuring Whitney Houston's final film role that was also her first acting role in 15 years, will be released Aug. 17, according to Sony Pictures Entertainment. The film that also stars Cee Lo and Jordan Sparks is about three sisters who form a successful girl group, a la The Supremes, but who crash and burn because of drugs and the inability to handle fame.
VAN HALEN ROCKS THE FORUM Van Halen held a secret final dress rehearsal at the Forum in Inglewood for its national tour that kicks off in Louisville.
The group called it a "Friends and Family" event, reports MSNBC. For 70 minutes, the quartet, originally from Pasadena, rocked the private, invitation-only crowd, delivering classic hits from singer David Lee Roth's first stint with the band, such as "Dance the Night Away" and their take on The Kink's "You Really Got Me." They also performed songs from their latest CD, their first with Roth in 28 years, "A Different Kind of Truth," that were actually written between 1975 and 1977.
Van Halen hits SoCal for
at least four shows, on
June 1 and 9 at the Staples Center, June 12 at the Honda Center in Anaheim and June 14 at the Viejas Arena in San Diego. More dates may be added.
CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH HIT SOCAL In the next couple of months, Crosby, Stills and Nash are undertaking brief tours, according to the trio's website.

For all you who don't speak French... thats fucking funny.
Possibly the greatest comedian ever. An executive and action transvestite. Didn't join the Army because they didn't have a parachuting transvestite brigade. Lost his virginity before he lost his virginity. Not a fucking weirdo transvestite. "You can't take us over, there's 2 billion of us!."
"Do you have a flag?" "Eva." "yes, adolf" "for our honeymoon, lets lie in a ditch covered in petrol on fire" |
1. | Eddie Izzard | ||
British, transvestie, comedian.
Executive transvestite. Eddie Izzard is the funniest comedian in the world.
2. | Eddie Izzard | ||
The Greatest Comedian in the world. one of the funniest men alive, known for his randomness, tendancy to drift off and his well known and catchy things to say. He is a executive transvestite, he describes himself as a male lesbian. he is also partialy dislexic, he used to be fully deslexic, but thts not for now. He is also intersesting besause of his style of comedy, he is not racist, or sexist, or any of these things, he swears, but not at people. He engages the audience and often goes off track. He is a modern comic genius, and a great actor to boot Guns Dont Kill People, People Kill People, But Monkeys Do To (If They Have A Gun)
This is the comic genius of Eddie Izzard |
3. | Eddie Izzard | ||
Hilarity in womens clothes. Not to be confused with a fucking wierdo transvetite.

4. | Eddie Izzard | ||
Comedian Action and executive transvestite, know for jokes such as "we british dont win the olympics, its a political statement because we dont like our national anthem! god save the queen! thats a pretty damned saved queen!" and "CAKE OR DEATH?!" and other political and historical refernce jokes hilarious, always
5. | Eddie Izzard | ||
The cleverest stand-up comic. He's an executive transvestite, and he's best known for Dress to Kill and Circles. He usually uses history for his material, staying away from offending topics like sex and current politics. "You can't claim us, we live here!
Can to! those are the rules...I've just made up!" "We'll call it the physcotic bastard relgion! (Or church of england sir?) Or Church of England, yes, that works too." |
7. | eddie izzard | ||
A European executive transvestite stand-up comedian. Original as well as bizarre, with a hilarious view on life that leaves the mind wondering. "There are no pyjamas in the valley of the dead!"
"Then we hit a tree. And I died." The miracle that is Eddie Izzard. |

ICT supporting learning and teaching
Open Educational Practices in a Lesser-Taught Language Community
This article was originally published by Ulrich Tiedau on the Journal of e-Learning and Knowledge Society, volumen 9, issue 1.
This article investigates how Open Educational Resources (OER) and Practices (OEP) can support a 'strategically important and vulnerable subject' (SIVS) in the UK, in this case a less-widely taught modern foreign language, namely Dutch Studies. It details the experiences of VirtualDutch, an inter-institutional subject community involving all four Dutch departments or sections of Schools of Modern Languages in the UK, that aims to create and share Open Educational Resources and to develop and engage in web-supported forms of inter-institutional collaboration in teaching and learning. After an overview of the VirtualDutch experiences, in particular those in the pilot project in phase 1 of the Joint Information System Committee's Open Educational Resources Programme (2009/10), the importance of forming communities of both practice and learning around OER for language teaching is highlighted, something particularly, but not exclusively, relevant for less-widely taught subjects like Dutch.
careNET: Building ICT competences in the long-term care sector to enhance quality if life for older people and those at risk of exclusion
The CareNET project aims at developing a set of ICT competences in two identified 'at risk' target groups: care-workers and older persons. The project is designed to work in a synergistic way to tackle identified problems in the low skilled and under professionalised care-worker sector while at the same time promoting social inclusion and enhancing the quality of life of older people.
An online social network will be put in place for care-workers, experts, researchers and pracitioners with relevance to ICT competences in care-systems, and a set of workshops for care-workers will be organised to pilot the elaborated professional development pathways and tools.
What resonates amongst both groups – care workers and care recipients – is their exposure to the risk of social exclusion as they are both often at the margins of society and likely to be the victim of digital and social divides. ICTs and associated competences have been shown to be a critical component in mitigating these risks of exclusion and helping to support an increased quality of life. The acquisition of digital skills is essential for these actors in the family employment sector where we find over half of all private individual employers aged 60 years old and over, and low-skilled women representing the majority of household employees. In response to these pressing needs the CareNet project will design, develop and pilot learning paths and resources based on cooperative learning between care workers and care recipients to promote improved quality of care and quality of life through the acquisition of care related digital competences. In addition, to answer specific needs, learning modules for individual learning, addressing ICT competences for employability and self-development (care workers) and ICT competences for active ageing (older people) will be created. In this way the project will contribute to: the identified needs for professionalization of care workers; increased access to learning opportunities; personal development of care workers; overcoming the isolation of both care workers and older people by promoting social enterprise, active citizenship and active ageing.
For this reason, the project seeks to design, develop and pilot:
- learning paths and resources based on cooperative learning between care workers and care recipients
- to promote improved quality of care and quality of life through the acquisition of care related digital competences.
- In addition, to answer specific needs, learning modules for individual learning, addressing employability and self-development of ICT competences for care workers and active ageing ICT competences for elders, will be provided and piloted.
The project will contribute to:
- professionalization;
- increased access to learning opportunities;
- personal development of care workers;
- overcoming the isolation of care workers and elders by promoting active citizenship and active ageing.
Details of on the project can be found at the project website: http://www.carenetproject.eu/
The aim of this project is to have a positive impact on the development of students' problem-solving competencies by promoting the use of inquiry and problem-based approaches to teaching. To achieve this, a training framework will be developped for training teachers how to create science lesson plans by not just providing examplar solutions to problems that arise from everyday practice, but also enabling them to perceive effective lesson planning in relation to educational principles that may enhance students' problem-solving skills.
Following the recommendations of the Rocard report on science education in Europe, the use of problem-based and inquiry-based approaches is important because they provide the means to increase students' interest and motivation.
LD-Skills is a pilot project that is funded by the European Comission's Comenius Multilateral project programme. It has started in January 2011 and is expected to run for 2 years.
Discover the European Union
'Discover the European Union with EuroparlTV' is the title of an educational pack for teachers of pupils in the age groups 11-15 and 15-18.
The pack includes a series of 20 videos designed to appeal to young viewers, encourage classroom debate and promote understanding of key European issues of our time which have a direct impact on students' lives: treaties, laws, institutions, policies, etc. It also offers interesting insight on the history of the European Union. The videos are available online in the 22 languages of the European Union as well as on two DVD's, each one addressed to a specific public.
DVD I (11- to 15-year age group) presents the key aspects of the European Union in an informative fashion and offers insights into topics of interest to young people.
DVD II (15- to 18-year age group) provides a more in-depth analysis and puts the key stages and policies of European unification into historical perspective.
All videos are available here.
SIMAULA Project: "Learning how to teach can also be a fun and entertaining activity"
SimAULA is a project focused on the development of a virtual practicum for teacher training in the form of a 3D virtual world. Both current and future teachers will have the opportunity to interact with avatar-students, develop lesson plans and teach in virtual classrooms. We talk with the project coordinator, Eva Vázquez de Prada.
What's the objective of Simaula?
Simaula's main objective is to develop a virtual practicum for teachers and future teachers. This virtual environment will provide Higher Education institutions and schools with a very innovative training platform to enable the enhancement of teaching abilities through result-driven classroom practices.
The knowledge of teachers and pedagogy and psychology experts helped us define models to create simulations and situations that are both pedagogically and educationally realistic.
Could you describe how a virtual classroom look like?
The project developed a 3D virtual classroom where the teacher can interact with avatars (the students), develop lesson plans, and teach.
The training platform replicates typical situations where teachers face common problems that happen in real classrooms. The teacher will have to select different options for each situation taking into account the teaching strategy, the pupils profiles, their level of attention, the classroom type, etc.
Students (avatars) will automatically react to the teacher selection depending on their behaviour model, the teaching strategy, their classmates, the duration of the class, ...
At the end of the game, the teacher gets a score that is calculated according to the global involvement of the students during the class (this depends on the students' behaviour and how the teacher deals with their interruptions during the game), the choices made by the teacher regarding teaching methodology, the learning resources that the teacher uses, the learning activities and the time spent on each activity.
Besides from the score, the teacher also gets a final feedback describing why he got that score and how he can improve it.
Does this programme respond to a demand from teachers?
The idea of developing Simaula came from the specific demand of different universities that were implementing the new Bologna Process. They realised that they were experiencing different problems managing the increase of the number of in-school practicum hours.
We also conducted a research during the project and we identified several problems of a different nature that the students, tutors and host teachers face during the teaching practice: administrative barriers, organizational barriers, pedagogical, psychological and methodological barriers. We believe that Simaula can help in many ways to overcome these barriers.
Why use serious games to train teachers?
Several studies demonstrate the efficacy of serious games for training in particular through behavioral change.
Serious games help to create a good simulation of real-life learning situations, allowing trainees to go over the same situations, settings, contexts in a low-stress environment. Simaula also promotes experimentation with various techniques and allows meeting learners' individual needs, interests and abilities, all this in a safe environment.
We also believe that learning how to teach can also be a fun and entertaining activity
Is it possible to virtualize the pupils' behaviour?
We are aware that modeling students' behaviour is a very complicated task and there are many researches going on now in Europe focused on this. But that's not Simaula's main objective.
We modelled the five most characteristic behaviours of students in 6th grade (Talkative, Skeptic, Moaner, Joker and "Flower pot"), based on our own research. We wanted the teacher to learn how to react to the most common situations that can occur in a classroom. But we also modelled the classroom types according to the different teaching methodologies (Learning through experiment, collaborative learning and Problem based learning), the choice of ICT and learning resources. And finally, we designed the pedagogical model based on the choice of the available learning activities in order to achieve a particular learning objective.
Do you think game-based learning will replace classical training?
In the specific case of Simaula project, we believe that this training platform could be a very powerful tool to complement the in-school practices for future teachers. Simaula provides universities and schools with a very innovative simulation system that enables them to be more flexible (with less barriers of time and distance), more efficient and to better adapt to the Bologna process. This is because Simaula provides opportunities for professional training in safe, multimodal, and personalised settings. The students engage in learning activities from their homes or from the university computer labs.
Simaula can help to develop trainees' confidence and increase their motivation (the feelings of uncertainty, fear of failure are minimized).
Simaula can also support the transfer of acquired knowledge and skills from the controlled educational setting to the real classroom and provide the opportunity for development of professional skills and their transfer to new contexts, including a variety of constructivist models of learning: collaborative learning, learning through experiment, problem based learning etc.
2013 EDEN Annual Conference. The Joy of Learning:Enhancing Learning Experience and Quality
E-learning, open and distance education have been important fields of intellectual excitement and innovative development. Challenges posed by the new technologies are permanent, and students constantly keep teachers under pressure to develop. Learning is becoming more and more individualized and self-managed. Individual and collective motivation, enhancement of the learning experience, and an overall improvement of learning quality are gaining ever-increasing traction. How can we do our best to make learning a thrilling experience for learners, including providing a sense of joy in the virtual classroom?
The EDEN 2013 Conference will discover and present the latest best practice in this field, share progressive concepts, inventive solutions, and promote joint-thinking and collaboration.
Discussion and debate will provide a range of innovative theories and approaches about the smart use of ICT tools, new methodologies for enhanced learning experience, content management systems, or fascinating solutions supported by game based learning, immersive environments, multimedia, etc.
Online and Social:
The 2013 Annual Conference will be supported and accompanied intensively by social networking, sharing, online and virtual presence and involvement possibilities.
This will be strengthened by and implemented through the EDEN members" portal: the NAP Members Area on the web and its services.
Call for Contributions:
We invite for the conference proposals for paper presentations in parallel sessions, posters, workshops, and short demonstrations that relate to the conference themes.
Submissions will be double peer reviewed by the Conference Committee. Accepted contributions will be published in the electronic Conference Proceedings with ISBN and their summary in the printed Book of Abstracts.

Notification of Authors – 22 March 2013
PELeCON 2013 - The 8th Plymouth Enhanced Learning Conference
Digital Learnscapes: Meeting Future Challenges. We live in a period of change and uncertainty. Many are bewildered by these changes and find it difficult to keep up, particularly in the education and training sectors. The ability to anticipate and prepare for change is the mark of innovative educators, as is the skill of harnessing new and emerging tools to promote good learning.
At Pelecon 13 we want to provide learning professionals with opportunities to explore, discover and discuss new approaches, new technologies and new ideas to enhance, enrich and extend their own professional practice. There will be particular emphasis this year on simulations and games, personal learning tools, new pedagogies and practices, learner and teacher voice, and digital literacies.
OPEN DISCOVERY SPACE: Competence-Based Training for School Teachers
The aim of the course is to support the development of European schools' digital culture and teachers' digital skills, so that they are able to understand the uses and applications of digital resources in school practice, and subsequently to benefit from digital content and technology solutions covering a wide range of areas: Science, Mathematics, ICT, Social Studies, Arts and Language Studies.
Thus, teachers will not only be familiarized with a unique collection of open digital educational resources, but they will also be trained to link them with innovative pedadogical practices, such as using real world learning activities, implementing resource based and project-based approaches.
Throughout the course teachers will be handled in three different modes: a) as learners participating in real world learning activities; b) as teachers implementing resource based problem-solving educational projects and collaborative strategies in their classes; and c) as researchers collecting, examining and interpreting data about their practice and their students' learning.
5th International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation
ICERI2012 will focus on the presentation of innovative projects and open up a floor for to discuss the main aspects and the latest results in the field of Education and Research. The general aim of the conference is to promote international collaboration in Education and Research in all educational fields and disciplines. The attendance of more than 700 delegates from 70 different countries is expected.
EC-TEL 2012 - CeLTech hosts the seventh "European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning"
The seventh "European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning" (EC-TEL) 2012 is taking place from 18 to 21 September 2012 in Saarbrücken under the motto "21st Century Learning for 21st Century Skills".
EC-TEL offers a unique opportunity for scientists, practitioners and politicians to discuss current challenges and progress in the field of technology-supported teaching and learning, find new forms of cooperation, strengthen their networks and exchange their respective experiences.
After taking place in previous years in Crete (2006, 2007), in Maastricht (2008), Nice (2009), Barcelona (2010) and Palermo (2011), in 2012 EC-TEL is being implemented in Saarbrücken by the Centre for e-Learning Technology (CeLTech) in cooperation with IMC information multimedia communication AG and the Festo Lernzentrum. As well as the General Chair Prof. Dr. Carlos Delgado Kloos (eMadrid / TELSpain / Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) and the Programme Chairs Prof. Dr. Stefanie Lindstaedt (Graz University of Technology and Know-Center) and Prof. Andrew Ravenscroft (University of East London und CASS School of Education and Communities), amongst others Dr. Volker Zimmermann (imc AG) will be involved in the planning, organization and running of the conference as Industry Chair, Dr. Sergey Sosnovsky (CeLTech) as Dissemination Chair and Private Lecturer Dr. Christoph Igel (CeLTech) as Local Organization Chair.
The development of "21st Century Learning for 21st Century Skills" to do justice to the present day needs and challenges is one of the main interests within the European Union and its constituent countries.
How can schools prepare young people for the jobs of the future? How can technologies be used to support formal and independent learning outside traditional education settings? How can we use the next generation of social and mobile technologies to enable informal learning in the workplace?
The answers to these questions show that a further range of new skills is required. In 2012 for the first time EC-TEL is directed above all at innovators in Technology Enhanced Learning, creative "doers" and other representatives from the eLearning field. Extensive demonstrations and interactive "TEL in action" sessions will set discussions in motion between different groups, which will be broadcast via live Internet radio transmissions.
EC-TEL 2012 will address the transitions between research, practice and industry, and highlight the opportunities for optimisation at these points.
Registration for the conference is still open. The conference fee of € 500 (different prices apply for students and EATEL members) includes participation in the conference sessions, workshops and tutorials including lunches, coffee breaks, a book of proceedings, a conference bag and attendance at the social dinner.
Payment by bank transfer, credit card and PayPal is accepted.

Hi everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick) :) I want to start making my own green juices, and I have absolutely no idea what kind of food processor/blender/juicer/etc to get! I want a vita-mix but they're ridiculously expensive.
Since most people here appear to be from the US, and I'm in England, I'm not looking for specific brand recommendations (though thankyou, if you were thinking of taking the time to do that). I'm more concerned about which type of processor to get.
I want the juices to be as smooth and liquidy as possible, I don't want to be drinking glasses of mulch. But I do want to put greens in there like spinach and lettuce and then hard veggies like carrots. Would I need a blender for that, or would a juicer do? Is a liquidiser the same as a juicer? Any help is appreciated!

The Carnival Triumph cruise ship, in an early photo provided by Carnival Cruise Lines. The ship currently is adrift in the Gulf of Mexico. (Carnival Cruise Line) |
The Carnival Triumph cruise ship is adrift about 150 miles off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula after a fire in the engine room Sunday left the ship disabled, according to a Carnival Cruise Lines statement posted Monday on its Facebook page.
The ship carrying 3,143 guests and 1,086 crew members will be towed to a port in Mexico by late Wednesday, Carnival says. The fire was extinguished and no one was injured in the incident.
The U.S. Coast Guard sent a cutter to the site, and Carnival is sending "technical crew and guest service personnel" to the ship Monday (today), but the ship remains stranded at sea. "The vessel is currently without propulsion in the Gulf of Mexico and awaiting the arrival of two tugboats which will tow the ship to Progreso, Mexico, which is the closest port to the ship's current location," the post says.
Carnival says some bathrooms and elevators are operating thanks to an emergency generator, and that dining service is limited. The ship rendezvoused with the Carnival Elation on Sunday to supply dinner for the thousands of cruise passengers and crew on board. The Carnival Legend will do the same Monday, Carnival says.
Anyone concerned about guests or crew members may contact Carnival at (888) 290-5095 or (305) 406-5534. The Carnival Triumph left Galveston, Texas, on Thursday and was scheduled to return Monday.
Carnival will give passengers a refund of the cruise and transportation expenses. The cruise line will fly passengers on chartered aircraft from Mexico to the U.S.

Where did you go?
Like (0)
lots of people quit MW3... What game did you move on to?
I moved back to my PS2 and had more fun than any other system... I play MW3 once in a while... But I no longer have allies...
CoD on Xbox.
Play my 3DS.
Play other games on Wii.
Spend time with my gf.
Internet browse. I didn't go too far lol.
..And I see what you did in your freetime in your tags.
You don't move onto something else, you just stop playing it and continue everything else you were doing. That's how it is for me at least.
BF3. Waiting for Skyrim: Dawnguard to come out later this month and hopefully GTA V later this year.
Can't wait for GTA 5.
Anyway I haven't gone far but I spent much more time on my computer than wii now.
Looking at other peoples clan chats, trolling marking haters of wii in comments of youtube video's as spam. You know..
I've been playing Assins Creed Revelations, Just Cause 2 and Saints Row the Third.
Minecraft, dude. I'm also typing my own short stories as a hobby, just for fun.
I'm playing Scarface, damn I love this game, sure it is old but it is one of the very few GTA style games on Wii, very enjoyable.
Sadly it makes your Wii keep terrible noises, just like BO I guess, but still, it is worth it.
I haven't left. I've had no internet since the middle of last week and won't be back for a little while.
I've moved back to BO. MW3 is no more! And, unlike some people who go and come back after a while, for me it's impossible since I can no longer get online on MW3. So Black Ops gets all my FPS attention now. I don;t know why I left it in the first place, I love it!
Am i the only one who still likes this game
I still play it...
You don't need to lie to yourself like that.
You have a problem cookie! wake up! its the numbers...give him a shot! we're losing him! NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need 50cc's of reality stat.
I've left the game but like with girls I return every now and then for a quickee
Aside from that Xenoblade holds my attention, and Reflex has grabbed my attention again. Theres also MKwii, 3DS, Brawl, and always and forever: Pokemon
I kind of hate all of the nintendo games besides mario and metroid. I think i'm the only one who hates pokemon with a passion too.
*gets FMG9 Akimbo*
hey soviet! want a cookie?
*puts on riot shield*
Uhh, sure...
Metal gear solid is cool for psp and so is GTA
dude, cookie...
we need to set up a GIGN outfitted in riot gear squad.
you and i will head it, we need other volunteers who wont be afraid of taking some bullets.
Taking bullets my whole life
