About the Ride
Recap of John Brown's Attack
Where do Motorcyclists Fit In
Motorcycle Around the Sesquicentennial This route completes a circuit, so it doesn't matter where along the way you join in, but for this narrative I will start at the parking lot of the Harpers Ferry National Park visitor center just off of Rt. 340 on the bluff above the Shenandoah River by Harpers Ferry.
The entrance fee to the visitor center is $3.00 and includes a shuttle bus to and from the historic section of Harpers Ferry. It's a challenge to find a place to park in town, so you may want to use this option to both walk around the town and read up on the history of the area. There is also parking down by the Rt. 340 & Shenandoah River bridge — be sure to place your entrance fee in the envelope and drop it in the self-serve deposit box there.As you exit the parking lot at the stop at the light with Rt. 340 you will turn left and head into Charles Town. Rt. 340 eventually becomes East Washington Street, which will take you to the center of town at the intersection of George St. and Washington St. (George & Washington). There on the N/E corner rests the Jefferson County Court House. Park your bike around here so you can visit the famous courthouse where John Brown was tried for treason in 1859. The place is indeed a working courthouse, not a museum. Across from the Court House on George Street is the Visitor Center. Get a walking tour map of the town while there. Feel free to stroll up to 515 South Samuel Street. This location (complete with a Victorian home built in 1892) was the site of John Brown's execution. On December 2, 1859, the wagon carrying Brown and the procession that followed moved down George Street to the gallows in a field on the then Rebecca Hunter Farm. (The gallows stood at a spot just north of this house).While at the court house you may notice the brick US Post Office just diagonal across the street. A marker there notes the Post Office Department first experimented with the idea of rural mail delivery on October 1, 1891. The first routes to receive RFD during its experimental phase were here in Jefferson County. The site of the Post Office was where the jail stood that held John Brown during his trial.
The wealth of sites in Charles Town to the Washington Family and American History can fill up pages. Do your homework and plan your trip should you be interested to fully roam the sidewalks of the historic town.For now, mount and fire up your bike and head east on George Street (Rt. 115/9) 2.5 miles to turn right onto Kabletown Road. Between the road and the Blue Ridge Mountains on your left lies the Shenandoah River. The road follows the rolling landscape and is rural in nature. This is the only county in West Virginia where you have both the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River... which may bring to mind some famous song from days gone by in the 1970s.
In about 3.6 miles you will roll through the small village of Kabletown. As you cross the short bridge in the village keep an eye out for a Civil War Marker on the right in the yard of a home. This marks the activity that took place in August of 1864. That's when General Johnson (CSA) and his cavalry brigade and infantry encountered a large force of infantry of the enemy. A severe engagement followed including a charge by Johnson. This resulted in Union troops being driven down the Shenandoah River, with significant numbers killed and wounded.In about 0.8 mile from this marker you will come to the crossroads at Myerstown. Make a right onto Myerstown Road. At this crossroads is a somewhat hidden Civil War Marker which recognizes action that took place in the fall of 1864. The Union had formed a group of men whose purpose was to eliminate the threat of Mosby's Rangers. Mosby and his men were a quick strike Calvary and were a thorn in the side of any Union troops. This special corps was headed by Union Capt. Richard Blazer. He led his company of scouts to the vicinity of Kabletown. Confederate Lt. Richards led a band of 100 Mosby's Rangers to track Blazer down and on November 18th, Richards found Blazer camped near Kabletown. The fight that ensued resulted in the decimation of Blazer's troops.Follow the twists and turns of Myersville Road 2.6 miles to the stop with Rt. 340. Turn right onto 340 for a short 0.2 mile then turn left onto Withers-Lame Road. Here in the Rippon area another Civil War engagement took place on October 18, 1863.Confederate Gen. Imboden attacked Charles Town on orders from Gen. Lee, where Union troops garrisoned. While on the Berryville Turnpike, Imboden was attacked by a Union force under Brig. Gen. Jeremiah Cutler Sullivan that had come from Harpers Ferry. Imboden formed a line of defense just north of Rippon and succeeded in holding his position.
Withers-Larue Road carries you along the gently rolling flat-lands of Jefferson County. Every now and then you'll dive towards a stream corridor and emerge again finding a few curves to greet you. After about 2.8 mile, turn right at the stop onto Leetown Road. Follow Leetown Road 10.8 miles to Leetown Pike in Leetown WV. Along the way the bike will carry you through some scenic farmland and provide you with more than a couple of near 90 degree turns and challenging curves.Note that in Middleway another Civil War Marker can be found at Leetown Road and Old Middleway Pike. This marker serves double duty to commemorate two events that happened here in Smithfield (the name of Middleway during the Civil War).In August 1862, 30 Confederate troopers attacked the Winchester & Potomac Railroad between Summit Point and Cameron's Depot. The raid captured eight Union soldiers, cash, and food. Then in February 1863, scouting parties of 2l Union troopers were on the road to Smithfield. In town, Confederates ran into the rear of the party killing four Union troopers, wounding others and capturing seven men and their horses without suffering a loss themselves.
In Leetown turn right onto Leetown Pike. There was additional Confederate action that took place in this area on August 25, 1864. Gen. Jubal Early and his men while moving along the road to Leetown encountered two divisions of Union cavalry. Early's troops pushed the Union cavalry back towards Kearneysville. Eventually they were pushed back towards Shepherdstown where some crossed the Potomac at Pack Horse Ford while the others ended up in Harpers Ferry.As you follow Leetown Pike on your left you will pass the Jefferson County Fairgrounds At 2.5 miles turn left onto Wiltshire Road. The short 3 miles to the stoplight with Old State Route 9 is fun with a few good curves and dips tossed in to make the travel interesting to experience. At the stop light head straight and onto Luther Jones Road. At the stop with Ridge Road travel straight onto Duffields Road.In 2.3 miles at the stop with Flowing Springs Road, turn right then quickly left turn onto Melvin Road. At this turn is downtown Duffields. Due to the train running by here for years it is a popular commuter parking area and historic location for Jefferson County.
Here on June 29, 1864, Mosby and a force of men attacked a company of Union infantry stationed at Duffields. Mosby's troops cut the telegraph lines and destroyed the Union quarters, capturing about 50 prisoners and a large amount of provisions. They successfully eluded the Union forces sent to intercept them.Melvin Road runs along the train track for a while and lets you experience how it might have been years ago when the horse and buggy envied the speed and power of the nearby locomotive and train cars. Now, all you have to do to get similar power is twist your wrist slightly.At the next stop with Rt. 230 (Shepherdstown Pike) keep straight onto Kidwell Road. After about 1.1 mile be sure to roll onto Best Road, which takes you to a stop. Turn left on Bakerton Road and enjoy the "Sleepy Hollow" feel of the pavement and scenery.
During different seasons you'll be able to see less or more of the Potomac River to your right, and be sure to enjoy the dives the road makes into the lower elevations along your 4.2 mile way towards Moler Crossroads. As you approach the stop at the crossroads envision elements of the Confederate army under the command of Stonewall Jackson marching their way en-route to Sharpsburg for what would end up being the Battle of Antietam in September of 1862.
After the stop do a straight "zig-zag" path of travel to head onto Engle Molers Road heading north-east. As you roll along gaze off to your right — in the distance is Shepherdstown, the Potomac River then Maryland. After Antietam, General Lee retreated south to Virginia during the night. The army crossed the Potomac River at Pack Horse Ford just downriver from Shepherdstown without incident. The General posted guards on the cliffs overlooking the river to protect his men as he continued the withdrawal. During this time around September 19, Union troops attempted to reach the retreating divisions. Confederate General A. P Hill (was stationed nearby) successfully held the Union advance to the point where the Union troops returned to the Maryland side of the Potomac River.At the stop turn right onto WV Route 230 and follow it into Shepherdstown. In 1734, Thomas Shepherd was granted about 200 acres on the south side of the Potomac River. From that tract, he selected fifty acres and laid out a town. He named his town Mecklenburg and petitioned the Virginia Assembly for a charter, which was issued in 1762.As you roll through town, feel free to stop and walk around what is said to be the oldest town in West Virginia. Enjoy and experience many of the town's historical buildings on German Street. There you can find unique shops and tasty cafés. The town also has a healthy nightlife that includes movies, fine dinning and live music.
At the 4-way stop in town with the intersection of 230 and 480, turn right and exit West Virginia and enter Maryland. On the Maryland side of the Potomac, 480 becomes MD 34. From the 4-way stop in Shepherdstown travel north-east on 480/34 for 4 miles until you turn right onto Burnside Bridge Road in Sharpsburg — the town closest to the Battle of Antietam.
Confederate General Robert E. Lee's and Union General George B. McClellan's armies met in the Battle—the single bloodiest day of the American Civil War and all of American military history, with nearly 23,000 casualties. This truly is sacred ground.Feel free to take any diversions or side trips to the battlefield, but return to Burnside Bride Road to finish the loop.Burnside Bridge Road escorts you through parts of the Antietam Battlefield, and permits you to see many preserved and conserved structures that were here during that part of our American history. You even get to cross over the famous Antietam Creek, where at times in the summer you can see people floating on inner tubes down the creek.Ride this serpentine segment of road for 4.6 miles to the stop with Mt. Briar Road. Turn right then in 0.3 mile turn right again onto Chestnut Grove Road.Travel on this cool, green and shady rural valley road about 4.5 miles until you see the sign for the Kennedy Farm House. This is the site where John Brown and his followers trained and launched their attack on Harpers Ferry.It was here in early July of 1859 that the "wanted man" and abolitionist John Brown and his sons and one follower arrived posing as Issac Smith & Sons, cattlemen from New York. They said they wanted a small farm to serve as a feeding lot for cattle when in fact they were searching for a "staging area" for their intended raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.Today, the old farmhouse has been completely restored and is a welcomed stop along any quest to learn more about the history of John Brown and his raid on Harpers Ferry. The Federal Government has designated this place a National Historic Landmark because of the significant role it played in the history of the United States.Continue another 0.8 mile to the stop with Harpers Ferry Road. Turn left and follow the road for 5.6 miles to Keep Tryst Road. As you enjoy this scenic part of Harpers Ferry Road note the many historic landmarks along the way. Off across the Potomac lies Harpers Ferry itself. It is a beautiful sight — a view that might have been observed by John Brown as he exited the train here at Sandy Hook prior to moving into the farm house. Between you and the river lays the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, complete with the remaining locks and lockmasters house. Also, you'll see the tracks and tunnel for the railroad — once the Baltimore & Ohio property. Both the C&O and the B&O were locked into a race to open up the west for transport. Both tied their routes to the natural path of the Potomac River but only one victor lived to claim the prize. And as we know that even turned into a short-lived victory — for where today do you see any B&O trains.
At Keep Tryst Road turn left and left again at the stop/flashing light at Rt. 340. Follow 340 for about 2.6 miles then turn right onto Shenandoah Street. You may recognize this tree lined avenue if you did the shuttle bus tour of the town before you 'hit the road" at the visitor center. You will recognize the ruins of Virginius Island, and see part of the old canal system. Once in town your tires will hum as they roll over the cobblestone pavement. Just prior to John Brown's Fort turn left onto High Street / Washington Street. As you climb the hill glance over towards the Potomac. There where the train station and parking area was once the Armory works of the town.About 2 miles from John Brown's Fort turn right and head up Whitman Avenue. A short distance up at the intersection of Prospect Avenue is a great place to park the bike and enjoy the view. It is a parking area for a hiking trail and historical markers. One marker notes the Battle of Harpers Ferry. It reads: "Invasion rocked the United States during the second year of the American Civil War. In September 1862 Confederate General Robert E. Lee launched his army into Maryland - the North. Lee's first target became Harpers Ferry. He ordered "Stonewall" Jackson to make the attack."It was here that Jackson overcame great obstacles, defeating the Union during a three-day battle and forcing the largest surrender of U.S. troops during the Civil War. His victory at Harpers Ferry enabled Lee to make his stand at nearby Antietam."
According to Lieutenant James H. Clark of the 115th New York Infantry "At first their missiles of death fell far short of our camp; but each succeeding shell came nearer and nearer, until the earth was plowed up at our feet, and our tents torn to tatters."
If you feel like stretching your legs for a bit to reflect upon the ride, and enjoy some departing scenic sights of Harpers Ferry and Jefferson County take a stroll on the Bolivar Heights Trail. It takes you over wooded terrain on the very site of Jackson's triumphal Civil War battle here. It's an easy trail and is a leisurely walk that lets your mind digest all that you've seen and experienced on this route.
From John Brown and John Wilkes Booth to Mosby and Stonewall and more — this region is prime to commemorate the sesquicentennial anniversary of not only abolitionist John Brown's raid on the arsenal at Harpers Ferry, but of the whole of the Civil War.

It has been a journey With my 59
Like (0)
First three months the push button worked when it wanted so getting to the modeling was frustrating ... Finally got a repair order to get it fixed and almost a month latter the guitar came back with out the battery ( which i sent with the guitar)
So with no battery ... don't know if it works and can only use with the magnetic pickups
They closed the original ticket on me so I have to set up another
Called line 6 last two days and the tech support line has tech problems ...
1400 for the guitar .. 40 more to ship it and still cant use it
Any thoughts?
you can always pickup a battery or an xps
or perhaps a pod that's capable of powering the variaxes...
Line6 should surely help you sort it out and get you a battery...
but one of these would be a nice backup.
Thx Realzap
The batteries are back ordered ... And unavailable
And I get not get line 6 to answer
I don't know if it's ur case but... if you happen to have an HD500, you can use the VDI cable to power up your JTV even without a battery
I assume this happens with the HD300/400 as well, but I only own the HD500
Now... without a battery, you can use the magnetic pickups.
Funny enough, I'm sending this week my JTV-59 cos the model knob is stuck so I cannot play at all... Gonna write a message saying "I want my battery back"
Only the HD500 and HDPro have the variax (VDI) connector. The POD HD (black kidney bean desktop), HD300, and 400 do not, which I found puzzling when they brought out the HD line. The POD XTL, and X3L both had the VDI jack. The desktops never did, nor the Floor POD from the XTL era.
I think they chose to do that to save money... and with the cost of the new JT variaxes, I think they thought that anyone who could afford a JTV could afford the nicer pod....
keep in mind this is my opinion and in no way based on anything that was ever said to me...
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Better Homes and Garden Sept. 2012 home color section..PICS
You know how in each month in the BHG magazine they have a collection of paint colors? I was trying to find a picture from the magazine they have put together for in the Sept 2012 magazine.
It's awesome...fern green, dark brown, a dusty pink, a turqoiose and a muddy red...
I LOVE the color pallette they have but wouldnt even know how to attempt it.

Here is a link to the color pallete but you have to see the picture in the magazine with the objects and fabric they show with the paint colors.
Sep 03, 2012, 01:43 PM
ok I took my own picture of the page out of the magazine.
If I wanted to use this as a color pallete(sp?)...how do go about it?
Sep 03, 2012, 02:34 PM
A1SB,I can understand how you love these colors.Beautiful.
You have some of these colors already in your livingroom.Just add the other 3 colors.I like the idea of olive panels.Mix of blue & these colors of some beautiful designed pillows on sofa & chair.You've been adding these colors and didnt realize it.
sofa-brown leather
art-ivory & pink floral picture
rug-olive green and other colors in it.
floor-terra cotta(muted red)

Those colors remind me of a Kim Parker print I think I remember that you have which I really, really like!
Sep 04, 2012, 10:24 AM
Use them in the concentration they show on that page. Biggest color: green. Maybe the sofa, accent wall, bedding, etc. Red as the rug or artwork. Brown and blue as your accents in the room with a touch of the pink as pillows, vases, etc.

Jackie-I was thinking the same thing, that I already have most of those colors in my space.
I just LOVE those mix of colors. I have that page up on my fridge and just smile when I look at it.
I sold that one Kim Parker picture I had but there are other peices by Kim Parker that would work in that color scheme.
I know there isn't much of that fabric and you might not be able to see it very well, but I was tyring to identify it if anyone thinks it looks familiar.

City entry point to undergo major enhancement
By Kenny Green, email@example.com
One of the entryways into the city of Rowlett is getting a facelift as plans to improve Miller Road between Rowlett and Garland are underway. The project is designed to eliminate a bottleneck that occurs during peak travel times along Miller Road.
�This is a four governmental project. It involves the city of Garland, the city of Dallas, Dallas County and of course the city of Rowlett,� said Jermel Stevenson, parks and recreation director.
�This is a regional construction project and we are in in for $623,000, as is Garland,� said Lynda Humble, city manager. �The city of Dallas� portion was paid by Dallas County and Dallas County was in it also. This was in our five year CIP plan and the money is due next year. This is going to be an important regional connection between all the cities and hopefully will resolve some of the flooding issues.�
The plans for the roadway include a 1,200 foot long bridge that would span the widths of both creeks. In order to prevent erosion from the new bridge, the project calls for the existing Rowlett Creek main channel to be widened.
�Miller Road is going to become a four lane road between Rowlett and Garland,� Stevenson said.
The project also includes plans for a 10 foot wide sidewalk adjacent to the roadway, which would provide connectivity from the Woodland Basin Nature Area in Garland to the Rowlett Creek Greenbelt.
Another component of the upgrades to the road includes plans to place a left turn lane at Dexham Road.
Part of the project calls for the use of .29 acres of Rowlett�s Nature Trail Park to be utilized as a permanent drainage easement and .41 to be utilized as a temporary construction easement.
�The parks department became involved because it impact Nature Trail [Park]. This was taken to the parks board last month and it comes to you with their full recommendation,� Stevenson said.
Since public park land would be used to accommodate the project, the city council will hold a public hearing regarding the construction on June 19.
�For a lot of reasons this is a very positive project,� Humble said.

Moving |
A month and a half ago my 2 very good friends and I decided to move in together. One of the first decisions that we had to make was the area we wanted to live in. 2 of us lived in south west London, whereas the other one lived in north London, under the postcode of N15. We'd decided we'd look above the river around Shoreditch and Finsbury Park. We were so lucky that we only had to see one property before finding our ideal home! My friend had been searching by postcode and was afraid that our current postcode N17 was too far north for any of us to travel, however, as it turned out, it was only 5 minutes up the road from her old home in N15! It's certainly very interesting the way the postcodes are classed in the city of London! |

― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 August 2012 05:44 (9 months ago) Permalink
Ah, I read this as you complaining that it's too functional (within the parameters of how Orbital's music functions).
This strikes me as a particularly odd criticism to make of Orbital (and also Talabot) - I hope I don't sound condescending when I say it sounds like a criticism made by a person who doesn't listen to (or appreciate) much actual dance music.
It's not so much "how dare you complain that music is too functional" - more that I think when you listen to a lot of music that is pretty explicitly functional in that manner then its functionalism no longer exists at the opposite end of a continuum from art/creativity/etc. for its own sake - hence saying "it's too functional to be art" begins to seem as nonsensical as saying "it has too many beats to be art".
More generally I think the idea of wanting music to "transcend its purpose" is a really bad one, not because music should not transcend its purpose but because the idea that it can and should is only propogated by people who are wary of (and hence do not have a good handle on) the alleged purpose to begin with.
What I would say, and I think it gets at roughly the same ballpark feeling, is that Wonky feels like an album purposely designed to "tick all the boxes" for an Orbital box except the box of "creates at least one new box". Its problem is that it's precisely as functional as Middle of Nowhere, and as such feels like a retreat into safe territory.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 06:56 (9 months ago) Permalink
More specifically the entire idea of transcension here is really saying "I think this purpose is better than that one."
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 06:58 (9 months ago) Permalink
Oh I don't dance these days and I don't DJ and I'm the first to acknowledge that (and there's nowhere round here where I could dance to this kind of music anyway); that's not been a barrier to me enjoying huge amounts of dance music, though, and especially and particularly Orbital in the past (and also plenty of stuff that was compared to Talabot when Fin came out, which piqued my interest). I'm not saying one "purpose" is better than any other, just that one isn't mine, and there's not enough "whatever it is" to quite satisfy what my purpose might be.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 August 2012 07:11 (9 months ago) Permalink
Yeah that's fine, I just think the content vs music opposition makes it seem like you're drawing a more concrete distinction than that.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 07:30 (9 months ago) Permalink
Yeah it was a bit flippant putting them as opposite ends of a dichotomy; the Cistene Chapel ceiling was a commission and arguably "content", and huge, huge reams of other great art of all mediums and genres and stripes.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 August 2012 07:57 (9 months ago) Permalink
Maybe you're just expecting something out of it that others aren't; I for one am happy to get nothing more than just a pile of great tunes
― frogbs, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 15:07 (9 months ago) Permalink
Orbital, at least for me, has a specific feeling of being composed, more so than most sequenced, functional dance music. It's a ridiculous statement on its face, to feel more composed than the next act with quantized beats and layers of samples that build up and roll off like clockwork, but it's the most succinct way of expressing that quality of their music.
This isn't a problem when it works - I appreciate Tim's point about it being a continuum, rather than an opposition. It applies just as much to the Orbital albums I love as those I don't. But when it doesn't hit, that feeling of functional composition is grating.

― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 August 2012 17:02 (9 months ago) Permalink
And I love them so much, too, that when something doesn't quite work, it feels like an affront. Which I know is ridiculous on any kind of "artist owes you nothing" perspective, but fandom doesn't work like that.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 28 August 2012 17:03 (9 months ago) Permalink
I don't see Orbital lapsing back into making "just" dance music (at least not from Snivilisation onwards) - pretty much all of their stuff retains the "composed" feeling, it's just that some tunes sound more rote or uninspired than others. So I think trying to equate Orbital's less inspired moments with non-Orbital dance music is a misnomer.
Unless you're applying some qualitative threshold to the application of "composed", which I think would be a kinda dodgy step really. Especially when it's being used so vaguely.
A good example of this is "Are We Here?" - an amazing tune and one of my favourites by Orbital. But by removing almost all of the melodic information and focusing on jungle rhythms it also revealed how much of Orbital's "signature sound" relies on their melodic (and harmonic) sensibility; there's nothing about it that is categorically different from A Guy Called Gerald or Neil Trix (the two jungle producers I could imagine doing something similar had they wanted to) - each sound as"composed" as Orbital when all three are working in the same style.
This is not to say that there's nothing special about Orbital, but that what is special is not some kind of magical, transcendent distinction from other dance music techniques, so much as a kind of sensibility that regularly pushes their music into territory that others pass through any fleetingly. And it's really only across an entire album (or their oeuvre as a whole) that this sensibility becomes obviously their key distinguishing feature.
But that sensibility remains the motivating factor on Wonky and even The Altogether. The fact that the former is largely content to repeat past glories and the latter is for the most part awful doesn't change that.

So I think trying to equate Orbital's less inspired moments with non-Orbital dance music is a misnomer.
who was doing this? neither was i saying that Orbital was better than other dance music. that sense of the music feeling "composed" isn't a positive, it just doesn't bother me if the track works. it bothers me if the track doesn't work, and i have that experience with multiple tracks on Wonky.
each sound as"composed" as Orbital when all three are working in the same style.
not familiar with neil trix, but all i'll say is that AGCG doesn't make compositional structure so salient in his work. that's not to say it's not at all salient, and it's nothing to do with how much compositional ingenuity went into the track. it's just a question of what the listener notices.

I read you as saying that good Orbital feels composed rather than functional and sequenced like other dance music, but when they're not so good they just sound functional again (like other dance music).
Is that not what you're saying?
― Tim F, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 03:17 (9 months ago) Permalink
But my comment re "transcendent" is in response to Nick who in his blog post uses precisely that language - I'm not assuming you believe that Lukas.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 03:21 (9 months ago) Permalink
What I meant to say was that when I'm listening to Orbital I can never quite forget that the music was deliberately composed. This is not really a compliment. There is a sense of of marionette strings being pulled and mechanisms chunking through a predefined path. At best it's part of the charm (The Girl With The Sun In Her Head), but at worst, if the track as a whole doesn't work for me (several tracks on Wonky) the music just ends up sounding contrived.
Of course now that I've restated it a couple times I've said it maybe more strongly than I would like. This is not something that applies only to Orbital, it's just something that I specifically associate with them.
but when they're not so good they just sound functional again (like other dance music)
but I love dance music! *sob*
― hot slag (lukas), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:27 (9 months ago) Permalink
This makes absolute sense to me - i.e. that they always sound "composed" but it can occasionally work against them rather than for.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 06:30 (9 months ago) Permalink
Lots of music, of all stripes and genres, can either feel transcendent or sound functional; I'm not limiting that scope to just Orbital being transcendent or just dance music sounding functional.

Pittsburgh school district expands gifted program

The Pittsburgh Public School District recently expanded its Centers for Advanced Studies program to provide more African-American students with an opportunity to take advantage of high level courses. For the first time ever, through the Talent Development Initiative, which was implemented district-wide for the 2012-2013 school year, the CAS program now includes non-gifted students who have been identified as talented.
The district's CAS courses are high-level, accelerated courses that have an additional .5 weight to account for the increased difficulty of the curriculum. In order to participate, students must demonstrate high achievement, meet specific course requirements and demonstrate that they can do the work and are motivated to meet the challenge of CAS courses.
"It's increased the number of African-American students in these classes," said Wayne Walters, principal of Obama Academy. "They are standing on the shoulders of others and the hope is that others will stand on their shoulders so that there is a greater representation of African-American students in these classes."
Walters sponsors the African-American CAS Executive Committee aimed at aiding students in the CAS program. On April 26, the organization held its annual symposium, where there was an increase in student participants because of the recent expansion of the CAS program.
"A study was done of talented people and they realized that some of the most talented people are under achievers," said Malcolm Thomas, founder of ONE Nation Education and Leadership Training, the event's keynote speaker. "Talent is not enough. The greatest gift you have is your will. The thing that's going to make you successful is, are you willing to do the work."
CAS courses move quickly, have higher level textbooks and students must often work independently. Despite the fact students participating have been identified as gifted or talented, there are still disparities between Black and White students.
"One of the biggest issues this year is eliminating the disparities, and we're talking about gifted White students vs. gifted Black students," said Mercedes Howze, an activities coordinator, project assistant and certified tutor with PPS who volunteers for AACAS. "We just try to give the kids the tools to succeed academically and socially. They're often not exposed to the same resources as their White counterparts."
One of the ways AACAS aids Black students in excelling is to provide them with inspiration, exposure, support and advocacy. They also provide students with a well-rounded education that includes studies in African-American culture.
"It's led me to have a more broad outlook on African-American culture and the reasons we are the way we are, but also what we can do to surpass that," said Sadik Roberts, president of the AACAS executive committee which is run by students. "In our books everything is based on White culture and we sometimes can't relate to it."

Students show how Willie Lynch Syndrome still prevalent
Category: 'Y' Written by Rebecca Nuttall - Courier Staff Writer
NO WLS 4 AACAS—Students commit to end Wylie Lynch behavior. (Photo by J.L. Martello)
Last year, the Website Twitter gave birth to a new social networking feud: "#teamlightskinned" vs. "#teamdarkskinned." The hashtags are meant to represent the superiority of one kind of African-American skin tone over another, but the feud is nothing new.
At the African American Centers for Advanced Studies Council 17th Annual Symposium April 26, members of the AACAS illustrated how the behavior on Twitter is a continuation of the Willie Lynch Syndrome. This syndrome is derived from a speech allegedly given in 1712 by British slave owner Willie Lynch about the best methods for controlling slaves.
"In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling Black Slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly, it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple and members of your family and any Overseer can use it," says a document of the speech, although some question its authenticity. "I have outlined a number of difference(s) among the slaves; and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes."
Under the theme "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," AACAS students proposed examples of how WLS pervades present day society by creating a divide in the African-American community. The students also said WLS is responsible for Black-on-Black violence because it creates rivalries between different neighborhoods.
"This is a direct result of the WLS when it states, 'whether the slaves live in a valley, on a hill, east, west, north, or south.' Where is the logic in this? First, we were being killed off by other races, now we've taken it into our own hands with gun violence," said student Sovren Gray, who led the AACAS's presentation on WLS. "What does this say about us as people? Are we so far gone?"
Gray also talked about the "good hair" vs. "bad hair" debate, depicted in comedian Chris Rock's movie "Good Hair." In the WLS this is defined as coarse hair vs. fine hair.
"So we need to ask ourselves, are we still Willie Lynching? What is good hair? Who's to say our hair is bad," Gray said. "Are we going along with the WLS every time we refer to our hair as nappy or not good?"
Other examples of present day WLS included rivalries between men and women and different age groups. In conclusion, Gray asked his peers to write down their own WLS behavior and to tear up the piece of paper as a symbol that they will not continue to perpetuate this behavior.
"In the words of Bob Marley, 'It is time we emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds,'" Gray said. "Now let's stand together with your papers and say three times, no WLS for AACAS." Gray continued, "And then tear up our past endorsements of the WLS. Again, united we stand, divided we fall."
The AACAS Council was established to support and encourage African-American CAS students. The council works to provide inspiration, learning, exposure, support and advocacy.

Oxfordshire County and Thame Show returns after one-year lay-off
2:00pm Friday 15th March 2013 in News By Andrew Ffrench, covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425
THE Thame Show is to return this summer after last year's event was cancelled following years of loss-making.
Billed as England's greatest agricultural show with a history stretching back more than 120 years , the event will return to the showground in Kingsey Road on Saturday, July 13.
Organisers axed last year's show after it lost about £116,000 in the previous four years.
They also feared ticket sales would be hit by a clash with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the London 2012 Olympics.
Mayor of Thame Nigel Champken-Woods said: "Thousands of people go along and I have only ever missed one in the 26 years I have lived here. I'm a member of the Thame and District Classic Car Club and we always have a stand there. It's a super event."
Since 2006, the event has been known as the Oxfordshire County and Thame Show.
It lost £40,000 in 2008 and 2009 but posted a £4,000 profit in 2010 after moving to a July Saturday instead of a September Thursday. Yet in 2011 it once again lost £40,000.
The biggest change this year will be a food and drink village featuring local producers, including county breweries.
The event will feature competitions for cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys along with displays of rabbits and birds.
There will be a dog show and displays including pig agility and falconry. Country skills demonstrations include hedge laying and stone walling while the main ring will host show jumping contests.

Meanwhile, the countryside-sports themed Thame Country Show will be at the showground on Sunday March 31 and Monday April 1.
