ELDER MUSIC: Drinking Songs Part 1
This Sunday Elder Music column was launched in December of 2008. By May of the following year, one commenter, Peter Tibbles, had added so much knowledge and value to my poor attempts at musical presentations that I asked him to take over the column. He's been here each week ever since delighting us with his astonishing grasp of just about everything musical, his humor and sense of fun. You can read Peter's bio here and find links to all his columns here.
Okay we're at ground zero for blues and country music songs here. Where would popular music be without these tunes?
I have a confession to make: I'm an Australian and I don't like beer (I also don't like Vegemite so that makes me doubly unAustralian. But Vegemite isn't really the topic today, although it's sort of related for those who know how it's made).
I'm also not a spirits drinker - no whisky or whiskey, no cognac, no vodka. Okay, I like a glass of wine now and then (A GLASS!!! I can hear my friends saying). Alright maybe more than one.
In spite of the reputation of my country as big beer drinkers, wine sales have outstripped those of beer for some years now, so I'm not alone.
Getting back to the music, Norma, the Assistant Musicologist, and I came up with enough tracks to fill more than three columns without breaking a sweat. This is the first of them.
The obvious place to start is a song from my own country. Well, it was obvious to me. These strange dudes are called MENTAL AS ANYTHING.
The Mentals met at art school in Sydney, but unlike all those English groups from the sixties who did the same, these folks kept going with their art. They've had several exhibitions, both separately and as a group, and at least one of them makes more from his art than his music.
I imagine being famous rock stars helps, but only initially; they need to have some talent to continue in the art caper and these folks have that. They are terrific musicians as well.
This song was a hit in the eighties for them. Somewhat recently, they recorded an album of some of their earlier songs including this one. It was sort of an "unplugged" album - well, more a reinterpretation of their old songs. I like the new version better than the original so I'm going with that one. The Nips Are Getting Bigger.
♫ Mental as Anything - The Nips Are Getting Bigger
There were any number of versions of this next song but we decided on JOHN LEE HOOKER. Okay, I decided on him; the A.M. had an inkling for Amos Milburn but we (all right, I) decided to use him with another song.
John Lee's style is more akin to piano boogie woogie than to that of a guitarist. He often played a single chord throughout a song but with his great rhythmic variations, his expressive singing and often with a great backing guitarist to add color, he was one of the finest blues performers.
His influence is everywhere, particularly in the boogie style of rock & roll (I'm thinking of Canned Heat and George Thorogood especially). Here's John Lee's version of One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.
♫ John Lee Hooker - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
GARY STEWART is a mandatory inclusion. Indeed, checking his oeuvre, I found that he could have had a column to himself on this topic and still have songs left over, so it's difficult to come up with just one track for Gazza.
He was the ultimate honky-tonk performer, at least of recent years. He wrote (most of) his own songs, was an accomplished guitarist and piano player and a singer that took your breath away - mainly because you were wondering if he'd get out of the song alive.
Alas, that flippant comment proved to be true. Gary took his own life a few years ago soon after his wife of more than 40 years died of pneumonia. This song sounds as if it were based on his own life; I guess we'll never know now. She's Got a Drinking Problem (and It's Me).
♫ Gary Stewart - She's Got a Drinking Problem
Now for a complete change of pace, a swerve over to left field, here is MARIO LANZA.
Mario was supposed to play the lead role in the film of The Student Prince however, the director, Curtis Bernhardt, didn't like his singing. Mario told him he could direct his acting but not his singing and walked off the set. The studio didn't like that at all and got another actor, Edmond Purdom, to play the role, lip synching to Mario's music.
Of course, by the time they had gotten around to doing this, the director had flown the coop and had been replaced by another who was a friend of Mario's but it was too late. Edmond later became more well known playing the harried inspector in the Pink Panther films.
We're just interested in the music though and here is Mario with Drink, Drink, Drink from that film.
♫ Mario Lanza - Drink, Drink, Drink
There were several options for the next song. Jerry Lee Lewis was the front runner but we have him for another song, so he missed out this time. The chosen one is STICK (or Sticks) MCGHEE.
I think I prefer Jerry Lee's version of the song, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, or some such cliché.
Stick was born Granville and gained his nickname as a child when he used to push around his older brother in a wagon with a stick. That brother had had polio, so it was difficult for him to walk. That didn't stop him in the long run, he was that great blues guitarist Brownie McGhee.
Jerry Lee's wasn't the only cover version by a long shot; there have been scores, maybe hundreds of others. This is the original though. Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee.
♫ Stick McGhee - Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee
If there's ever an opportunity for AMOS MILBURN to appear in a column, the A.M. will certainly take it. He had several songs that could be included but we decided to stick to one per person (unless we change our minds about that, of course).
Amos had a great sense of humor that was reflected in his music that's mostly about partying, drinking and generally having a good time. He started out as a smooth stylist similar to Nat King Cole but he quickly jumped on the jump blues bandwagon and it's this style for which he's most known these days.
This is
♫ Amos Milburn - Bad Bad Whiskey
You knew that DEAN MARTIN would have to be here somewhere and you're right.
This song isn't really Dean's style at all; it could be mistaken for a country track. I guess that's appropriate given the topic. Here we have Dino with Little Ole Wine Drinker Me.
♫ Dean Martin - Little Ole Wine Drinker Me
TOM PAXTON was probably the first of the sixties' singer/songwriters to make a name for himself. He predated Bob by several years in this caper and people were recording his songs quite early on.
Tom writes songs about every conceivable topic – protest songs, love songs, children's songs, silly songs, songs about nothing, songs about the most important things, so you know there will be a drinking song in there somewhere.
This one is fairly famous, as it's been recorded by several people: Bottle of Wine.
Now we have someone who knows a thing or two about drinking, GEORGE JONES. I'm really surprised he's still alive.
Often considered the finest male singer in country music (although I think Merle Haggard would more than give him a run for his money, the A.M. is unequivocal in her support for Merle), George has a formidable reputation in the field of drinking as well as singing.
Indeed, there are many stories about this and you probably know some of them, especially the ride-on lawn mower incident but we won't go there. I'll let George sing to you: If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will).
♫ George Jones - If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will)
I'll finish with the interesting trio DILLARD HARTFORD DILLARD.
These are brothers Rodney and Doug Dillard and John Hartford. Rodney and Doug formed the group The Dillards, although Doug left the group after a few albums. That group was one of the finest country rock groups who ever strut the stage, maybe even the best.
John Hartford was a fine songwriter (he wrote Gentle on my Mind among many others) and was a riverboat pilot who liked nothing better than sailing down the Mississippi and entertaining the passengers with his music when wasn't piloting.
The three got together to record several interesting albums and today's song is taken from one of those, No Beer in Heaven, with John singing lead.
♫ Dillard Hartford Dillard - No Beer in Heaven

George Jones continued to perform with his ex-wife Tammy Wynette after their divorce. I saw him introduce her new husband as his "husband-in-law", which made me laugh.
Considering what I've been mainly doing in California and Oregon, this is a very appropriate topic for the column today.
Nice toe tapping stuff. Milburn is skipping a bit tho.
Welcome home again.
Can't wait to see what's in Part 2! (Scotch and Soda?)
When I was a very young nun, some of my fellow nuns and I were castigated by our Novice Mistress for singing "a drinking song" with our guitars. She thought that "Follow the Drinking Gourd" - a folk song about the Underground Railroad - was "Follow the Drinking Girl!"
Peter, when you are in Oregon and Washingon, you are supposed to drink beer and wine!Fine column topic for today. Looking forward to the next.Once again, you introducted us to new artists. Mario Lanza was a kick. We agree, Jerry Lee's version of "Drinkin Wine. . . "is the better version.
I was surprised to see Mario Lanza's name among the C & W stars, but given the topic of 'drinking' and the name of the song I understand.
Dean Martin was definitely not a C & W singer, but I do agree this does have a similarity to that kind of music.
Great article. I love Tom Paxton and in the context of this post, enjoy seeing the Mentals on the list.
I can't believe you presented the music from The Student Prince. That one song, Drink, was one that was always on my lips for years after hearing it.
I loved it's jovial, cheerful celebration of life, casting those German mugs high as they sang. The female lead in that movie, Ann Blyth, was a favorite of mine when I was kid in the fifties watching such movies.
I often think of the Drink song too when I hear John Denver's Calypso. It has a part of the rhythm you get in Drink, Drink, Drink
"Edmond [Purdom] later became more well known playing the harried inspector in the Pink Panther films."
No, that was Herbert Lom.
Like Larry (above) I burst forth with Drink Drink Drink often after first hearing it on one of the small 45 rpm records that belonged to my older brother. Somehow it magically stayed in our house when he had to go back to air force duty after his "leave" was over. I loved all of the songs in that album and was very disappointed at the movie years later. Edmond Purdum wasn't nearly as handsome either! Good to hear Pax sing too. All in all--a great lineup today (yesterday for me).
Oops, you're right, Deejay

Lorenz Gets 4 Years In Prison For Du Charme Drug Death
A judge tells Christina Lorenz that going to prison for a drug death is part of her 'last chance' to straighten out her life...
Lorenz is sentenced to four years in prison, followed by nine years of supervision, for helping provide the drugs that killed her friend Tony Du Charme last August. The 38-year-old La Crosse woman says she feels 'very responsible' for letting Du Charme die, and not calling for help when he didn't wake up after smoking drugs. Lorenz denied having a role in disposing of Du Charme's body on a hillside after leaving the corpse in an apartment for two days. Three men were arrested on the concealment charge after Du Charme's death.

Ignorance must be bliss. I do not know how anyone in good conscience can give any money to a company as duplicitous as AT&T, which tried to hoodwink regulators but got dressed down by a federal judge in trying to push through the T-Mobile acquisition. AT&T is as anti consumer as they come. And the more market share you give AT&T, the more money that AT&T will try to extract from your wallet.

UTSA students give Haven for Hope common room an extreme makeover
(May 6, 2013) -- Last month, students in the UTSA Department of Social Work in the College of Public Policy dedicated a room on the Haven for Hope campus that they spent the last three months renovating and furnishing as part of an extreme-makeover project they organized over the course of the semester.
Residents from Haven for Hope, UTSA faculty and staff, city officials and Bill Greehey, chairman of the board of NuStar Energy L.P. and NuStar GP Holdings LLC, attended the ribbon cutting ceremony April 29.
The renovation project is part of the Under Construction: Keeping Hope Alive project organized by students in the Advanced Communities course at UTSA, in collaboration with the Center for Health Care Services of Bexar County and Haven for Hope. Each semester, the course takes classroom learning into the community through hands-on projects aimed at transforming lives. The class was taught by Robert Ambrosino, senior lecturer in the Department of Social Work.
"The students were responsible for all aspects of the project," said Ambrosino, "including procuring the resources needed to carry out the makeover, recruiting residents to participate in the various makeover activities, promoting the work of the project in the community, seeking in-kind and other donations, and organizing the final event."
The renovated room at Haven for Hope is used both as a meeting room for educational programming and a shared space for residents. As part of the renovation, students worked side-by-side with residents from the In-House Wellness Dorm at Haven for Hope to give the room a new paint job, new furniture, two computer workstations with new laptop computers, bookshelves and an accompanying collection of books, a new DVD player, an assortment of DVDs and a new area rug.
"Inspiration for the project came from a desire to create a legacy and the goal of creating an opportunity for students to actively engage with their clients -- in this case the men's wellness dorm -- to create a meaningful change initiative," said Ambrosino.
This is the fourth project one of Ambrosino's Advanced Communities class has completed as part of its initiative. The first project consisted of focus groups and town hall meetings with members of the San Antonio community to solicit ideas about the design elements of a mural found near the entrance to Haven for Hope.
The second project, Right Foot Forward, involved creating an adult recreational soccer program for the Haven residents that culminated in a soccer tournament involving teams of residents, Haven staff and UTSA students.
The third project, The B Heard Music Café, involved the creation of a music café that brought musicians from across San Antonio to provide entertainment to the Haven residents that culminated in an all-day music festival that involved more than 20 musicians and musical groups including many from the Haven community.
"The impact of these projects is two-fold," said Ambrosino. "First, the projects are intended to help dispel the common stereotypes that many members of the community have about homeless individuals. The second and equally important impact is to engage the talents and skills of homeless people who otherwise live a marginalized existence and are discounted at every turn."
The UTSA Department of Social Work, Haven for Hope and the Center for Health Care Services of Bexar County expect to continue the partnership program in the coming years. Haven for Hope is the largest homeless transformation campus in the United States. The organization provides housing, health services, spiritual support and programming for more than 900 homeless men, women and children.

The surrounding areas of Neath have a far older history of human
activity than Neath town. Bronze-Age burial chambers and Iron-Age
hillforts are to be found on the upland hills and the Romans
constructed a fort at what is now Neath Abbey in the first century
The history of Neath town commences in the early 12th century
with the Norman Conquest of Glamorgan. Sir Richard de Granville
defeated the local Welsh Lords and established a timber motte and
bailey castle near Neath Abbey in 1129. This was later destroyed by
the native Welsh Lords.
A second castle was erected on the east bank of the River Neath
- the site of the present castle. A small village with a market and
a church was developed by the Normans circa 1150. This later formed
the nucleus of Neath town. Intermittent warfare between the Welsh
and the Normans continued for the next 150 years and so hindered
any development and population increase. The town of Neath was
destroyed by the Lords of Afan in 1184, 1230, 1259. Peaceful
conditions from the 14th century onwards allowed the village to
develop and for commerce to expand. A river bridge was erected in
1320, trade flourished and regular markets were held.
The Tudor period saw the demise of the Marcher Lordships and the
emergence of the gentry class of people who assumed control of
trade and economic growth with a Portreeve and a body of Councilors
to govern the town. Coal mining commenced around Neath in the early
16th century and copper smelting in the surrounding area at
Aberdulais in 1584. Neath was still a small town clustered around
its castle and church throughout the 15th and 16th centuries but
huge changes were to take place in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Evans family of Eaglesbush expanded the small coalfield at
the lower Cimla which were greatly improved and enlarged by the
Mackworth family from Derbyshire. The Mackworths constructed one of
the largest and most modern copper smelting factories in the
country at Melincryddan in 1695, the refined pigs of copper were
transported to the Gnoll mills where they went through a number of
processes of battering, rolling and eventual manufacturing into
pots and pans. Neath became an industrialized town at that time
with coal mining and heavy metal refining as a major source of
employment. The streets of old Neath remind visitors of the
pre-industrial nature of the town; Cow lane, Duck Street, Cattle
Street, Butter Street, Bull Ring. Some of which survive at the
present time.
The Neath Canal was completed from Neath to Glyn-Neath in 1795
followed by the Tennant Canal in 1824 from Swansea to Aberdulais.
These led to an increase in manufacturing industry reliant on coal
as a fuel. Brick making, ship building and chemical production on
the towns outskirts and iron manufacturing at Neath Abbey. In 1823
Neath's population was only 3000 persons which increased to 4000 by
1849 and to 14,000 in 1880.
The arrival of the steam railways was a major factor in the
expansion of industry and population growth. The South Wales
Railway 1850 and the Vale of Neath Railway 1851 encouraged
industrial growth. An industrial suburb was created at Melincryddan
due to the construction of the Melyn forge and foundry 1864, the
Melyn tinplate works 1864, Eaglesbush tinplate work 1890 and later
the Neath Steel Sheet and Galvanizing Company works adjacent
Neath also became a prosperous commercial centre and fine civic
buildings were erected. The old Town Hall 1820, new market 1837,
Mechanics Institute 1847 where Alfred Russell Wallace worked on his
ideas on the evolution of man. Alderman Davies School 1858, St
David's Church 1866, Gwyn Hall 1887, Victoria Gardens 1897. New
streets were laid out - Windsor Road, London Road, Queen Street,
Eastland Road, Cimla Road. Residential suburbs sprang up at
Penydre, Tyn-y-caeau, Mount Pleasant and Hillside.
Later development included the Cimla and Westernmoor, Neath
Abbey, and Caerwern. Neath is a pleasant town to shop in, it has
many attractions for the visitors and local alike. The Victoria
Gardens is a Victorian gem where one can relax away from the bustle
of shopping. Neath Museum which occupies part of the Gwyn Hall
houses displays that depict the areas history. The Gnoll Country
Park, once the seat of the Mackworths is now a magnificent country
park. Neath Canal which at one time was the lifeline of industry
has been tuned into a linear park which offers boat trips in the
summer months.
Neath is an historic town that retains much of its former
character and charm and also its culture. Operatic societies and
musical entertainment are frequently hosted at the Gwyn Hall and
similar venues in the town. Neath is a town for all ages and
interests and well worthy of visiting.

A moment of silence for victims of domestic violence was held at Sunday's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers. The NFL and the Chiefs made the decision Saturday to play Sunday's game despite the fact that 30 hours earlier Chiefs starting linebacker Javon Belcher allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and committing suicide in front of general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel. The decision to play the game -- and the notion that any moment that honored Belcher would then honor a murderer -- has been a source of debate and consternation in Kansas City and across the country. While Chiefs officials declined to speak on length on who made the decision for Sunday's moment of silence, they stressed it would be in honor of the victims of domestic violence.

About 35,000 years ago, prehistoric artists across Europe suddenly discovered the female formand the art world has never been the same. The explosion of voluptuous female figurines sculpted out of limestone, ivory, and clay directly inspired Picasso and Matisse. Researchers have debated the figurines' meaning for decades. Now, two scientists think they have the answer. Presenting their work here last week at the European Palaeolithic Conference, they claimed that the objects started off as celebrations of the female form, then later became symbols that tied together a growing human society.

'The Vampire Diaries': The undead don't always rise
I would say the death toll rose yet again on "The Vampire Diaries," but in truth, it would be more accurate to say the undead toll fell.
Vicky is on the loose and the person she decides to seek help from first is Tyler. And by help, I mean she sobs to him that she's hungry and then lunges for his jugular. Stefan stops her and Damon nearly kills Tyler, but glamours him into forgetting the incident instead. Jeremy decides to skip school to organize a search party for Vicky, but by that afternoon she's called Matt to tell him that she's all right and he doesn't need to worry.
Surprisingly, it's Damon who is worried, because the local news doesn't mention anything about Logan being dead. Additionally, he and Stefan know what the watch is and so they know there are those who are looking for them. So, he decides to try and find them first. He overhears Tyler's parents talking about Logan and the missing watch, which is more than enough to catch his interest.
Meanwhile, Elena comes by the Salvatore house to see what's going on with Vicky and Stefan promises he's trying to help her. Vicky just complains about how she wants more blood. The moment Stefan leaves them alone, she tells Elena exactly what she thinks of her and that she'll rip her head off if she thinks she will stand between her and Jeremy.
Bonnie talks to her grandmother about their witchy ancestors. She wants to get down to the business of spellcasting but she's told the craft is serious. And she's going to be late for school. In the halls, Bonnie gets her Halloween costume from Caroline, and it includes the crystal she took from Damon. Also going to the Halloween party are Tyler's parents. But first his mom throws a couple martinis back and Damon decides to try and glamour some answers from her. The vervain bracelet she's wearing stops him in his tracks. And so does the news that his own "Uncle Zach" was the supplier. Not only for her, but for "the council," whoever they are.
Damon gets back to the house and decides it's time to teach Vicky some of the perks to being a vampire. The first one he decides to teach her is their ability to move with superhuman speed. Of course, she uses that knowledge to run away. She goes back home and finds out she can't actually walk inside. At least, not until her brother asks her to come in. Stefan isn't too far behind, but when he arrives Vicky tells Matt not to let him in.
At the party, Nurse Elena runs into Dr. Matt and finds out Vicky is there. Damon is also there and he catches sight of the necklace being worn by Bonnie. But when he tries to take it back, he gets burned for the effort. She runs off to find Jeremy to keep him away from the dangerous Vicky, but he's already been found. She tells him that she's leaving and if he comes with her they can be together forever. I don't think he really understands how literally she means those words. All the same, a kiss becomes a bite and a moment later he's screaming for her to get off him. Elena finds them just in time to draw Vicky's attention. When Stefan sees Elena being munched on by Vicky, he takes the only course of action he can think of. He stakes Vicky.
Back at the house, Jeremy is beyond distraught over the loss of Vicky, which has brought back the loss of his parents. Stefan is waiting outside and Elena comes out to ask him to glamour the memory of the night away for Jeremy because she doesn't think he can live with it. Unfortunately Stefan doesn't think he can accomplish it because he doesn't feed on human blood. Which is when we get the second surprise from Damon as he appears and offers to do it. As he disappears in the house, Elena says she wishes she could forget it all too, and not just this night. She would also like to forget meeting Stefan, finding out he's a vampire and everything that's happened since. Stefan looks crestfallen over the idea until she adds that she can't lose how she feels about him.
Do you believe Damon glamoured away Jeremy's memories, or did he put something far darker in his head? Is he going to be able to convince the mayor and his wife that Zach is just on vacation and that he's their new vervain connection?

The Net Delusion
I've been meaning to point to Lee Siegel's review of Evgeny Morozov's new book "The Net Delusion - The Dark Side of Internet Freedom." A few clips:
Contrary to the "cyberutopians," as he calls them, who consider the Internet a powerful tool of political emancipation, Morozov convincingly argues that, in freedom's name, the Internet more often than not constricts or even abolishes freedom...He quotes the political blogger Andrew Sullivan, who proclaimed after protesters took to the streets in Tehran that "the revolution will be Twittered." The revolution never happened, and the futilely tweeting protesters were broken with an iron hand... What was broadcast on Twitter and elsewhere was repression of the revolution. The Iranian regime used the Web to identify photographs of protesters; to find out their personal information and whereabouts (through Facebook, naturally); to distribute propagandistic videos; and to text the population into counterrevolutionary paranoia.
As Morozov points out, don't expect corporations like Google to liberate anyone anytime soon. Google did business in China for four years before economic conditions and censorship demands — not human rights concerns — forced it out. And it is telling that both Twitter and Facebook have refused to join the Global Network Initiative, a pact that Morozov describes as "an industrywide pledge . . . to behave in accordance with the laws and standards covering the right to freedom of expression and privacy embedded in internationally recognized documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
Morozov urges the cyberutopians to open their eyes to the fact that the asocial pursuit of profit is what drives social media. "Not surprisingly," he writes, "the dangerous fascination with solving previously intractable social problems with the help of technology allows vested interests to disguise what essentially amounts to advertising for their commercial products in the language of freedom and liberation." In 2007, when he was at the State Department, Jared Cohen wrote with tragic wrongheadedness that "the Internet is a place where Iranian youth can . . . say anything they want as they operate free from the grips of the police-state apparatus." Thanks to the exciting new technology, many of those freely texting Iranian youths are in prison or dead. Cohen himself now works for Google as the director of "Google Ideas."

Lawn Doctor of Elmhurst-Villa ParkRead MoreLawn Doctor's roots lead back to the mid 1960s, when friends Bob Magda and Tony Giordano took on the endeavor of reviving uncared-for lawns in their hometown of Matawan, New Jersey. Their local business has since blossomed into a national franchise with more than 400 locations across the United States, each adhering to the mission of enhancing lawns' allure with time-tested techniques, dedicated customer service, and dabs of foundation makeup. Before Lawn Doctor's assiduous staffers unleash expertise on swards, they arrive at the client's home for a complimentary consultation to gauge each lawn's specific needs. Grass gurus can thicken turf with their patented Turf Tamer power seeder and foster healthy growth for grass, trees, and shrubs with fertilizer. Uninvited lawn assailants—such as grubs, ants, and grazing neighbors—shudder at the sight of Lawn Doctor's pest-control experts. With Lawn Doctor's Yard Armour, annoying flying pests like mosquitoes can be contained to return enjoyment to outdoor spaces. The company also helps to preserve Mother Nature's receding hairline with organic lawn treatments and natural, eco-friendly products.123 Tom Hanks BlvdHillside, IL US
Hinsdale NurseriesRead MoreIn the same year that Herman Melville?s Moby-Dick was published and California celebrated its official admission as a state, Hinsdale Nurseries sold its first tree. Since opening its doors in 1850, the family-run nursery?now under the helm of a fourth generation of green thumbs?has upheld its dedication to fostering hardy and beautiful gardens in the oft-extreme climes of the Midwest region, thanks to the staff?s exhaustive knowledge of area growing conditions. These plant enthusiasts coax trees, ornamentals, and perennials from 650 acres of earth in Plano before trucking the verdant bounty to their Willowbrook store for purchase. Hinsdale Nurseries also beautifies green spaces via landscaping services ranging from seasonal yard maintenance to pruning backyard labyrinths and shaving their minotaurs.7200 S Madison St.Willowbrook, IL US
Sunnyview LandscapingRead MoreUnder the guidance of founders Juan Hernandez and Anay Garcia, the professional landscapers at Sunnyview Landscaping keep home exteriors looking their best. In 2001, the company owned only a single truck and lawn mower. Today, it handles a wide range of services, including full-landscape construction, maintenance, and tree care. Landscapers leave lawns dappled in pleasant shade by healthy trees for summertime parties. In the winter months, homeowners can call upon the team to remove snow from driveways and sidewalks, which can be slippery or attract large groups of landscape painters.11154 South Lawler AvenueAlsip, IL US
Greeny Land ServiceRead MoreThe team of landscaping professionals at Greeney Land Services beautifies the outdoors, assisting homeowners with lawn care, irrigation, and paving installation. Before clients agree to an environs makeover, they can sit down with a professional during a free consultation. This conversation will help them assess their options, which could include paver patios or retaining walls, which keep flowers from running off to meet the bees that pollinate them. Lest beautiful stonework upstage a lackluster lawn, the team also keeps greenery looking healthy and inviting through an array of landscaping and lawn-care services. Potential customers can take a look at the outfit's photo gallery to get an idea of its handiwork.108 Iroquois DrClarendon Hills, IL US
Kemora Landscape DesignsRead MoreFor the designer Marisa Gora of Kemora Landscape Designs, it's not enough for a garden or yard to be beautiful. It must also be functional, and it has to work with the natural environment it borders. It's no question that she holds her work to a high standard. But it's the way she surpasses even those standards that has earned her company awards from Angie's List, the Flower and Garden Show (which applauded Kemora's work on the American Girl Garden), and the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association. Her business's mission to give beauty and function equal importance might have something to do with Marisa's background: she was pre-med at the University of Chicago when she decided to switch careers. Her love of drawing and previous work in landscape maintenance for the Wilmette Park District sparked the inspiration that eventually drew her to landscape design. After graduating and working in the industry, she founded Kemora, and today gives life to homeowners' design dreams.5811 N Fairfield AveChicago, IL US
Fuzzy Dog DaycareRead MoreInspired by a search for quality dog care for their own dog, the owners of Furtastik—finding no options that satisfied their wants—decided to create a 3.000-square-foot, climate-controlled space themselves. Now, they operate a hands-on, cheerful, and intimate facility for dogs and dog services. Licensed and accredited groomers sculpt away excess piles of fur after they clean, wash, and buff dogs into bright new existence, and organic food products line the front room for canine perusal. Meanwhile, daycare and boarding enrollments are limited to 20 and 10 dogs at a time, respectively, allowing for individual attention and care during the cage-free services.3927 N Elston AveChicago, IL US

Les Salauds | Claire Denis, 2013
France/Germany | French with English subtitles | 100 minutes
U.S. Premiere!
Director Claire Denis in person for Q&A on October 6!
Claire Denis's jagged, daringly fragmented and very darkest film - visually, psychologically, and politically – is that rarest of cinematic narratives, a genuinely contemporary film noir. Inspired by recent French sex ring scandals involving men of wealth and power, Denis positions the superb Vincent Lindon (the lover in her 2002 Friday Night) as the movie's moral and erotic center. Lindon is a sea captain gone AWOL to come to the rescue of his estranged sister (Julie Bataille) and his teenaged niece (Lola Créton, star of Mia Hansen-Løve's Goodbye First Love); Chiara Mastroianni is Lindon's married lover, who has sold her soul in exchange for the security of her young son; and the remarkable Michel Subor, an erstwhile Denis collaborator since Beau Travail, is the very embodiment of an evil beyond comprehension. Shooting digitally for the first time, Denis and her long-time camerawoman Agnès Godard impart their trademark tactility to every image. A Sundance Selects release.

SEC criticizes credit-rating firms

CHARLESTOWN - A long line formed in the cold and wet weather outside the door at 805 Alton Carolina Road on Wednesday morning, Nov. 16, as it has most Wednesday and Thursday mornings this fall.
RICHMOND - The town council has approved funds for the zoning board to hire an acoustical engineer to assist in conducting a sound test at 87 Kingstown Road, a site that could potentially host an outdoor gun club and shooting range.
CHARLESTOWN - A proposal aimed to give full-time Charlestown residents a tax credit of up to $1,000 per year on their property taxes was presented by the Charlestown Democratic Town Committee (CDTC) at the Nov. 14 town council meeting.
CHARLESTOWN - The Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex (RINWRC), a division of the National Fish and Wildlife Service, is in the process of constructing a White-tailed Deer Management Plan for the Block Island and Ninigret National Wildlife Refuges. A public workshop was held at the Kettle Pond Visitors Center on Thursday, Nov. 10, to collect public input on the plan and to answer questions.
In an effort to distribute South County-related tourism materials, the South County Tourism Council (SCTC) has acquired space at the Pilot Travel Center at Exit 93 off Route 95 in Connecticut. The move was a direct result of the closing of the Rhode Island Welcome Center.
To the Editor,
Congress has become increasingly fixated on dismantling clean air protections and impeding the Environmental Protection AgencyŌĆÖs (EPAŌĆÖs) ability to improve public health. Last month, House Leaders passed the TRAIN Act, the most dangerous assault on the clean air protections ever. And now in the Senate, we have Senator Rand PaulŌĆÖs (R-KY) attempt to utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to thwart the implementation of the life-saving Cross State Air Pollution Rule. The rule is expected to protect the public from deadly toxins emitted by industrial plants in other states, of which citizens of Sen. PaulŌĆÖs own state of Kentucky would benefit from greatly.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION - A new calendar for the Chariho Regional School District that will consolidate spring vacation weeks and shorten the school year will be implemented during the 2012-2013 school year.
HOPKINTON - Hope Valley Elementary Fourth Grade Social Studies Teacher Denise Moretti-Foggo believes that when students gain first-hand experience of what they are being taught, by seeing and touching, it helps them commit the knowledge to memory.
She had been teaching her students about the history of Rhode Island, and more specifically the history of Hopkinton, in recent weeks, in preparation for Historical Hopkinton: A Living History Day Field Trip.
It seems the term ŌĆ£Tall ShipŌĆØ must have come from John MasefieldŌĆÖs poem, Sea Fever. My sea-faring Dad quoted that poem to me a hundred times, but he never sailed in a Tall Ship. Still, as a seafarer, he too felt the romance that whistled with the wind in the rigging.
WYOMING - Back when consignment shopping became the trendy thing to do, I jumped on the bandwagon with everyone else. But I noticed that, over time, most stores raised their prices to the point where it made more sense to just go shopping at a regular store and spend a couple more dollars to get brand new items. I noticed the clothing available in consignment shops becoming outdated and, unless you were an average medium size, the odds were slim that you were going to find anything to fit you. However, IŌĆÖve recently reclaimed my love of consignment shopping and itŌĆÖs all because of a little place called ŌĆ£Tickled PinkŌĆØ on Main Street in Wyoming.

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. Sony's upcoming PlayStation 4 video game console won over gamers at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last week when the company announced a price and its stance on used games. But there's still a lot we don't know about the system. Thankfully, a new video from Sony shows a bit more about how the console will work in everyday use. The PS4's new interface is front and center, and it looks rather slick. Once you log in, you see a feed a social updates that is reminiscent of Facebook or Google+. The feed contains status updates, messages, notifications about new games, videos, and more. The clip also shows how users can share game videos with each other. You just record a small snippet of gameplay and send to your friends. This can be especially helpful in figuring out how to beat a boss or overcome some obstacle. One other cool thing in the new video is how games can be installed. The sci-fi military shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall lets you choose to download the multiplayer mode of the game or the single-player mode first. And you can download new titles while continuing to play other games on your system. Check out the video above for more.

So were the sentiments expressed by Scarlett O'Hara in the movie, "Gone with the Wind." She was speaking to the hopeful energy that compels us all to not give up on ourselves or those around us.
A wise man once proffered, "Life has so many different chapters, and one bad chapter does mean the end of the book." Again, knowing that while the present moment or circumstance may seem insurmountable, with persistence, patience and effort, most difficulties can be surmounted is a source of inspiration and energy.
As adults, life teaches us through experience that often there are steps that can be taken or people around us who will help us to regain our sense of equilibrium. For many young people, this important experiential knowledge is ahead of them and as of yet unlearned by many. It can leave some young people very vulnerable when crisis or protracted personal challenges arise.
Sadly, without the opportunity to experience and triumph over adversity, some youth will conclude that their current circumstances will not improve and they will give up on themselves. As adults, you can be the bridge for young people between giving up when hard circumstances arise and seeing hope and carrying on for another day. You can share your own story or the story of someone you know, someone that you helped or how someone helped you to survive a tough situation.
I met a young man when he was nine years old and he became friends with my wife and I. When first I met him, he would not look you in the eye and he spoke but a few words during our visits. I learned that he had been hospitalized several times as a toddler from abuse dealt to him by a parent. He could not remember any of it; he did know that he trusted no one and that he was angry. Over time, I made it a condition of our coming together that he must talk for about fifteen minutes. He could talk about anything and these conversations became more and more revealing as we went forward. We talked about why he was making bad decisions for himself and although he was failing many of his schoolwork courses at the time, it was clear that he had an inexperienced but bright mind.

Has anyone been able to put a Sketchup model into Daz?
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.—Albert Einstein
Yes, export as obj file then Import into DS. You will need the Full Sketchup or a plugin for the Export as obj.
Exile, Drows Walk: A Tale of Jaderail starts here. Free pulp fiction at its Fantasy best, Updated 2/3/14.
Proud Member of the Bald Wizards Club My stuff at DeviantArt
The plugin works, but the resulting obj files are large, and the texturing isn't pretty. But it sometimes works pretty well. There is a free plugin available for the free version of Sketchup.
Bryce 7 pro can open up Sketchup files if I am not mistaken…Then you can use Bryce to export out as SomeName.obj or click the option to send to DS…
As Always B3D
My radio Station…
jerriecan - 23 October 2012 11:35 AMThe plugin works, but the resulting obj files are large, and the texturing isn't pretty. But it sometimes works pretty well. There is a free plugin available for the free version of Sketchup.
Never, ever, have I had a Sketchup item that a) did not require clean up in a dedicated modeler and b) did not require retexturing…if for no other reason than the included ones were not all that great to begin with. If you remember to keep the obj, mtl and all the texture files in the same directory, then it should load 'textured'...
One of the big items that both makes the file size huge and the model look like something the cat dragged in, are duplicated/unwelded vertices…that is one of the most important things to do in the clean up process. I've seen file size drop by 3/4 by just getting rid of the duplicate vertices. Most imports are also going to need some smoothing and probably normals reoriented, which are things that should be done in a dedicate modeler. Also, one of the big problems, if planning on doing anything other than using it as a static model, is the grouping being totally bizarre. I've seen Sketchup vehicle models with the driver's door, the passenger side fender and the trunk lid all in the same group (with each having a different material zone, on top of that). Reducing and rearranging the groups, reducing the mat zones and such to something resembling sane, will also reduce file size.
So no, it's not a 'convert and use' process…but it can result in some decent models afterwards.

Delivering large ornamental trees (some are nearly 6 metres tall) to your door is one of our specialities, and we probably sell more than anyone else... More...
Please note that we cannot accurately tell you how tall your trees will be before you order them, except to say that almost all the standards we deliver are between 2.5-5 metres high.
Big specimen trees are always delivered & planted bareroot during winter and spring (Nov - early May).
Planting Large Trees:
Our Tree Planting Video will explain it all.
Remember that all big trees need a big stake and at least one tree tie to support them during their first couple of years. A biodegradable mulch mat is recommended for all new trees, especially if it will be difficult to weed around them. You can save money on stakes, ties and mulch mats by buying them all together in our tree planting pack.
If you are planting in poor soil, we also strongly recommend using Rootgrow friendly fungi to help your trees establish.
Which Size of Standard Should I Buy?
Our specimen trees are delivered in two sizes: a light standard with a girth of 6-8cms and a regular standard with a girth of 8-10cms. Our advice is:
What is the difference between a Standard Tree and the saplings in the Hedging Plant section?
Many of our standard trees trees are also available as young saplings in the Hedging Plants section. The only difference is that the standard tree is larger and more mature. If a sapling tree from the Hedging section was allowed to grow freely, without being clipped, it would effectively become a standard tree in a few years.
Almost all of our big trees are British grown. All of the native species are grown in the UK from British seed.
You will find big fruit
trees here.
All of our Bareroot Ornamental Standard Trees are covered by our Guarantee.

Felix Avila Delgado (born December 14, 1974, in Havana, Cuba), known by stage name Cuban Link, is a rapper best known for his former membership in the group Terror Squad, his friendship with Latin rapper Big Pun, and his problems with rapper Fat Joe.
In 1980 Felix's father emigrated from Cuba to the United States, eventually settling in the New York City borough of the Bronx. Despite a language barrier, Delgado adapted quickly to his surroundings. He spent only one year in bilingual classes, he quickly learned English, and was immediately influenced by early hip-hop culture. Delgado began writing lyrics at the age of 15 and became friends with fellow Latin rappers Triple Seis and Big Punisher. Soon after meeting Triple Seis and Big Punisher, his future partners in rhyme, everything snapped into place. "We clicked like brothers," Delgado remembers fondly. Like blood relatives, they had each others backs as they tried to storm the rap game Full a Clips Crew . When he hooked up with the Terror Squad under Fat Joe, a neighborhood acquaintance everyone hoped could launch them, Pun looked out for "Cuban Link" and "Seis". Pun could appreciate Joe for bringing him along as his hypeman, but I appreciate Pun for bringing me along," says Cuban. "Pun used to do shows with Joe for $50, then turn around and give me $20." More importantly, he refocused Cuban when hed lost interest in rhymes following his stabbing and hospitalization in 1994.
Together they made waves in the hip-hop community, meriting respect from lyrical heavyweights like Nas, who quoted their lyrics back to them when they first met. First heard alongside Pun on the Beatnuts smash "Off the Books" in 1997, Cuban subsequently cultivated buzz with memorable appearances on Puns platinum Capital Punishment ("Glamour Life"), Fat Joes Don Cartagena ("Bet Ya Man Cant (Triz)") and the eponymous Terror Squad LP ("Tell Me What You Want"). He has apeared in remixes with reggaeton star ,Don Omar.

I am 38 and have experienced sagging over time. I would like to know where fat will be taken from or put in to make my butt look lifted, like a bubble butt/rounder not square by looking at my photos. I just want to get an idea of what I might expect. I have a lot of fat around my waistline, love handles, and inner outer thighs but I don't want my thighs to look too skinny because they are already small for my body I think.
Will Brazilian Butt Lift Help Lift and Make my Butt More Bubble Shaped and Less Square? (photo)
Doctor Answers 6
The details of you Brazilian Butt Lift will depend on your goals and your surgeon
Hi there-
When we see an attractive female behind, a lot of what makes it attractive is the proportion and its relationship to the body structures that surround it and give it context. In other words, an attractive butt can only be really attractive if the waist, lower back, hips, and thighs frame it in the best possible way.
The goal of a well-done Brazilian Butt Lift is therefore not just to enlarge and reshape the buttocks, but rather to establish the best possible relationships between these areas that frame the butt and the butt itself, at the same time that any changes to the buttocks necessary to maximize their shape are performed.
From your photos you appear to be an excellent candidate for the procedure, but please know that whether or not your goals are possible for you, as well as a responsible description of what I believe is possible could not be given without formally examining you in person.
Your best bet at this point is to visit a skilled and experienced BBL surgeon.

Brazilian Butt Lift
The most important part in Brazilian Butt LIft is reshaping the body aroud the buttock to enhance the curves abd the buttock
You can have liposuction of the love handles and some in the abdomen, this alone will round your butt. The fat can then be strategicaly injected where you will get the maximum roundness and projection of the buttocks
Less Square!
You are the type of patient that will get a phenomenal result from your Brazilian Butt Lift. The liposculpting will allow your surgeon to bring in your hips and waist giving you more of an hour glass figure. You already have some shape to your buttock and this will be able to be enhanced to give you a very attractive buttock. From the pictures you look like you have very good skin which will give you a great result from the liposcultping.
Patients typically see a dramatic change the next day, as the areas that have been liposuctioned will improve the entire shape of the patient. The buttock is swollen and bruised from the procedure but this is normal after any surgical procedure.
The process of the Brazilian Butt lift is not only to add volume to the buttock but to transform the entire shape of the patient from a square appearance to more of an hour glass shape. It is about giving a patient a figure that she will look great in close or a bikini (for the patients here in Miami). The goal is not to just try and make the biggest butt possible. It is giving the patient a shape they will love for years to come!

Is a Brazilian Butt Lift for Me?
The first part of a Brazilian Butt Lift involves strategically removing fat from the back, love handles, and sometimes the upper thighs to shape a beautiful silhouette around the buttocks. Your doctor will determine the optimal site from which to harvest fat, taking into consideration your stature, current shape, and desires. Once fat has been removed, some of the fat is then injected into the superior part of the buttock to give it lift. This increases the profile of the buttock and gives it a more rounded appearance.

Good Candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift?
Based on your pictures I think you are a good candidate. A consult with a board certified plastic surgery still would be recommended. Typically, the fat can be removed from the abdomen, love handles, thighs, and back. You may not need all those areas treated but the consultation with the PS would confirm this.

The newly evolved consumer is relating differently to loyalty programmes. A few brains in our think office have been thinking about how technology is increasingly shaping the face of consumer loyalty programmes. People are increasingly looking to brands to help them get more out of their resources, especially those that are scarce and therefore most highly prized.
By zeroing in on these areas (and by understanding that different individuals suffer from different types and degrees of scarcity), there is a significant opportunity for brands to make their loyalty programmes more relevantly empowering. This does not mean that everything will change.
For many people, money is obviously a scarce resource (particularly at the moment). It follows that schemes must continue to reward spend not least because purchase is, if not proof of loyalty, at least a prerequisite for it. Aimia has written interestingly about how 2.0 loyalty programmes could be linked to purchase in new ways. They call it "stealing Amazon's thunder".
Their core thesis is that in an increasingly transparent world, you need to move towards offering customers the most competitive price possible particularly if that customer is measurably and profitably loyal. In other words, you may need to sacrifice margin on today's sale in order to secure and maximise future revenues. So far, so obvious.
The smart bit is their recommendation that retailers make dynamic price matching an exclusive benefit for shoppers who sign up to a loyalty scheme. As they say: "Holding customers' hands while they find a lower price online may seem counterintuitive until you remember that every action conducted via your app results in proprietary data that is owned by you rather than Amazon".
IGD also brings some useful insight to bear on this. Their research indicates that the current levels of promotional intensity can lead to shopper confusion; 44 per cent of us say we find it difficult to identify best value within a store.
Putting these two together, the implication is that pricing itself is likely to be a key lever within 2.0 loyalty schemes; with profitably loyal customers being rewarded with both greater transparency and lower prices. As an indication of things to come. It seems inevitable that we'll see many more brands seeking to extract maximum value from the 'magic moments of engagement' they create by transitioning the audience to a second, generally mobile medium.
Those individuals who make the journey, and especially those who go on to share their experience of the journey, can expect rewards in the shape of exclusive content or unlockables or flash prizes.
This is the sort of amplification model Adam Stewart, marketing director of Play. com, is thinking of when he says: "As soon as you can get customers engaging within the social space, the viral element means the reach extends. And that's where the power comes from in terms of loyalty".
As it becomes increasingly critical for brands to develop a single view of the customer, Data will become an even more valuable prize than it is today. Download the whole of this white paper on www.spongegroup.com

The Global Enhanced Oil Recovery market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 28.7 percent for the period 2013-2018. Several driving factors and trends will contribute to this growth.
The rapid depletion of fossil fuels due to overuse by industry has resulted in the increasing usage of EOR technology in the Oil and Gas industry in the past decade. The usage of EOR technology has increased the overall production of oil and gas from the production wells. Currently, oil production from mature or maturing fields does not keep pace with growing energy demand. Thus, E&P companies are increasingly turning to EOR technology since it can increase overall production from 30-60 percent depending on the capacity of the reservoirs. The usage

The United States sends more spam by volume than any other country in the world, while Bulgaria emails the most per capita, according to a new tally by security company Sophos. The report covers the second quarter of 2014.
The US has placed first in Sophos' dubious "Dirty Dozen Spampionship," which looks at the top spam-producing countries in the world, for the last four quarters. The US sent 24.2 percent of the world's spam in the past three months, with France sending just 6.7 percent, China 6.2 percent and Italy 5.2 percent, according to the company's data.
Playing off the popularity of the 2014 World Cup and the upcoming Commonwealth Games, SophosLabs created two league tables to show off the results of its study. "Just as the soccer World Cup reminds us that football is the 'World Game', because it's played so keenly in so many countries, we hope the Spampionship Tables are a reminder that spam is a global problem that affects us all," the company wrote on its Naked Security blog.
"The US tops the 'by volume' charts, simply because it has a large population and the bulk of the world's internet Infrastructure," said Paul Ducklin, security expert for Sophos, wrote in the blog post.
Because of the population disparity between the countries of the world, the company also looked at the amount of spam sent per person in each country (with a population of at least 300,000), normalized against the size of the US. In that ranking, Bulgaria tops the charts, while the US drops down to 12th place in the 'Dirty Dozen'.
"Simplifying greatly, the average computer in a country that weighs in at two times the spam-per-person of the US probably has about twice the chance of being infected with malware," explained Ducklin. "Similarly, if computers in your country are, on average, twice as well protected (and your users twice as cautious) as in the US, you'd expect to show up with a spam-per-person rate of 0.5 times the US figure."
Sophos notes that the amount of spam sent does not equate to the amount of cybercrime occurring in a country. An computer infected with malware that spews spam at the will of cybercriminals can also be used to steal online names and passwords, downloading more malware, acting as a proxy for other criminals, attacking other people's websites or other nefarious activity that the computer's owner has no control over.
"The vast majority of spam is sent unsuspectingly from computers infected with malware, so that if you aren't careful, you may end up being part of the problem," Ducklin wrote. "We do want you to remember that almost all of the spam that SophosLabs receives in its spamtraps is there with the help of someone who slipped up with their security."
The company recommends updating anti-virus software and thinking before clicking on links, downloading files or opening email attachments.

So, a month before the hearings, a judge who is an acquaintance in the court let us read a draft of the sentence.
And then she realizes, through an acquaintance, that there is still something better out there.
Cain acknowledged knowing White, telling CNN she was an "acquaintance" he had tried to help.
c.1300, "state of being acquainted;" late 14c., "person with whom one is acquainted;" also "personal knowledge;" from Old French acointance "acquaintance, friendship, familiarity," noun of action from acointer (see acquaint). Acquaintant (17c.), would have been better in the "person known" sense but is now obsolete.

The Real Thing

Read: 1 John 2:3-11
Whoever keeps His Word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 1 John 2:5
A church in Naperville, Illinois, is basking in excitement about its brand-new bells in the belfry above its sanctuary. When the church was built many years ago, they didnt have the money to purchase bells. However, for its 25th anniversary they were able to raise the funds to hang three bells in the vacant space. Even though they are stunning, there is one problem: the congregation will never hear the bells ring. Although they look real, they are artificial.
The apostle John wrote his first epistle to encourage believers not to just look like real Christians, but to prove they are genuine by how they live. The evidence that a persons faith is real is not found in some mystical experience with God. The proof that people truly know and love God is found in submitting to His authority and to His Word. John writes, But whoever keeps His Word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked (1 John 2:5-6).
If we claim that we have been transformed by the gospel and intimately know and love God, we should validate it by our obedience to His Word.
Dont listen to the Word of God
And then ignore what you have heard;
Instead obey Gods will for you
Be doers of the Word. Sper
Obedience to God is an expression of our love for God.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"
