From the Right
By Davis Christopher
Best advice to the GOP: Don't lose the white vote.
It's been widely noted by a distinguished roster of clear-eyed bipartisans that Democrats have one principle weakness: a piss-poor excuse for a party so economically, ideologically, metaphysically, sexually, and ethnically diverse they can never present a unified front. Like a leaky liberal lifeboat adrift on swelling conservative seas, the storm-tossed Dems are nothing more than a loose confederation of disagreeable misfits who hate freedom, fetuses, and the natural state of motherhood. Common interests in faggotry, flag-burning, and mocking God's faithful are all that holds them together.
But Republicans shouldn't believe for one second that their treasonous adversaries will do the morally right thing by rolling over and expiring. Oh no. Though morally bankrupt and spiritually beyond the brink of salvation, they are deceptively book-smart, wily, and capable of striking at the very heart of this magnificent Party so Grand and Old. That's right, patriots: the donkey-boys want to put whitey back in their corral.
Democratic hatemeister Howard Dean once said that his party -- the official party of black folks and baby-killers -- needed to reach out to poor, rural rednecks with Confederate flags on their truck bumpers and license plates that say "Forget, Hell." Dean's shocking comment invited ridicule from all sides and damaged the poor man's reputation so badly that most Republican trend-watchers quickly forgot Dean's tragic misfire was originally aimed at their own modestly fortified bow. Bad move, trend-watchers!
John Kerry wants to blame Commander in Chief Bush and not the Iraqi terrorists for America's first net job loss in 11 presidencies. He wants to blame President Bush, not the terrorists, for eliminating overtime pay for six million American workers. John Kerry wants this country to believe that problems with health-care and the grave financial burden born by the middle class is somehow President Bush's fault and not the inevitable result of that horrible moment frozen in the memory of time and the universe when suicide-bombers, drunk on Allah and blind with hate, attacked the United States, and 3,000 innocent Americans perished on 9/11. It's as if John Kerry refuses to admit that evildoers even exist. And whenever a Democratic presidential candidate talks about the middle class without mentioning evildoers in the same breath, you can be certain he's not really talking about the middle class at all. He's using a not-so-secret liberal code meaning "white Christian males." Look it up, folks. It's all happened before. And when white males go Democrat, Democrats go to the White House. It's as simple as that.
Since they were first given the right to vote without fear of violent repercussion, it's been inarguable: Without the blacks, Democrats are whack. But conservatives must now face an even colder, harder, darker reality. So what if Republicans win over some homos, cripples, pygmies, firemen, gooks, squaws, Samoans, simpletons, and even Harold Ford Jr.? Isn't it all for nothing if they lose straight white male voters in the process?
Like the Good Book says, "You win the world, but lose your soul? Where's the payoff?" Be vigilant.
From the Left
By Christopher Davis
Best advice to the Dems: Surrender. Hail, Caesar!
The two Johns, Kerry and Edwards, are entirely correct when they talk about two Americas. One America subscribes to The New Yorker or maybe to The New Republic. The other America subscribes to T.V. Guide or maybe buys T.V. Guide at the newsstand, depending on who's on the cover. One America scours the Web searching for as many reliable news sources as it can find. The other America thinks "Howard Huge" is the best thing about Parade magazine and the second-best thing about Sunday morning. One America is bipartisan, more or less informed, and relatively small. The other America does as it's told or does nothing at all. Message to Democrats: Your posse is insubstantial.
It's impossible for John Kerry to win the presidency, because he looks like Herman Munster. Even liberal journalists who watch too much E! find the hilarious visual comparison totally irresistible. Message to Democrats: Do you boneheads really want the face of America to look like Herman Munster?
So Senator Kerry proves his patriotism by flaunting his battle scars and brandishing all those shiny medals he earned in Vietnam like he was so fine, and all that, and shit? Not! His show-offishness only underscores how badly the Democratic candidate failed to use his Ivy League intelligence to keep his rich white ass out of harm's way, thus proving once and for all that John Kerry is dangerously out of step with mainstream America's viciously self-serving values. Message to Democrats: Your bling bling has blung blung.
So, yes, Virginia, there really are two Americas. One watches Frontline, the other can't resist reruns of What's Happenin' Now. There's an America that listens to Rush, and there's an America that shakes its head and wonders, "What happened to the news?" "Why'd we pull resources out of Afghanistan and invade Iraq?" And most importantly, "Why in bloody hell did the Democrats go off and nominate that uptight guy who is pretty good on domestic issues but who also looks like Herman Munster?" Message to Democrats: America loves a winner.
The conventional wisdom has spoken to the general punditry much in the same way Jesus sometimes speaks to our president. It spoke to me personally, saying, "Chris, my man, John Kerry's screwed like a Dade County hooker at an all-night beer-and-roofie party." As a liberal columnist -- one of the last of a dying species -- it's my duty and privilege to repeat what the conventional wisdom tells me as if my gentle master possessed both soul and body. If John Kerry doesn't listen to the hypnotized masses before they transmogrify into an angry mob armed with newly legalized Uzis and Kalishnakovs, he's going to get faced like a punk and become another lonely, bitter, girly, utterly irrelevant sore-loserman. And that's if he's lucky. The crown sticks where it fits. Somebody drop the curtain. I can't bear to watch another thing. •

About Jarwulf
<o> Is the "STEM Shortage" a myth in The USA ? <o>
Jarwulf replied to RLS0812's topic in GDNet LoungeThe only people who believe theres a shortage of 'STEM' workers are the guys that don't work there. Sure there are 'STEM' fields where you can more easily get a job than other industries ie CompSci vs Renaissance Studies. But its nowhere near the golden fields of opportunity fallow of workers the politicians and ceos like to whine about. Even CompSci has severe challenges of outsourcing, overwork, and stability while many other disciplines like BioSci are overcrowded with Medschool washouts and is 50% forsaken grad students/postdocs toiling on the plantation. We could argue that we need science till the cows come home but the fact remains that society does a lot to pump up STEM at school but virtually abandons students by the time they graduate. At least with Humanities you don't have the talking heads pushing disinterested women, minorities, and h1bs into an already saturated market at the same time.
What sort of genetic algorithm? What do you want to evolve? In the somewhat literal sense the creatures series has simplified genetics. I'm not sure how A* which is primarily used for pathfinding would fit into this. My idea is to create a 2d game in which the human player will have to reach a destination, but there will be some obstacles and some computer bots that will try to hunt and catch you. And now i am thinking of how to make the bots learn from their experience or include some sort of genetic algorithm random small changes. highest score for capture. Probably should make the player automated too unless you want to manually 'evolve' your bots.

I'm not sure how A* which is primarily used for pathfinding would fit into this. I suppose you could have entities which start out using A* and then see if you can select for more effective pathfinding by making the algorithm mutatable.
Art and Programmers
Jarwulf replied to hatenames's topic in For Beginners's ForumNot a 'professional' but I dabble in programming and 2d and 3d. Short answer, for basic and decent, 2d is definitely easier. There is a reason why most of the indie games are in 2d. Yes 3d has some reusablity advantages but this will mostly only be relevant in advanced high volume situations. The pipeline for decent 3d is much more complicated. Modeling->texturing->rigging etc vs create a sprite sheet. And the engine and integration issues for 3d will also be more complicated. Don't discount that 3d software is infamous for either being underpowered or a major PITA, often doing things in nonintuitive ways. Illustrator and photoshop although not the simplest software is miles ahead in usability and simplicity than autodesk bloatware.
Beginner looking into game making
Jarwulf replied to donuts56's topic in For Beginners's ForumNot the world's greatest expert but this doesn't sound completely right. They didn't ask about learning to program an engine they asked about making a game.. Strictly speaking you don't need to learn any of what you just listed to make a game. If you are just interested in making a game focus on making a game and don't get too wrapped up in making an engine. If you're using Dear Esther as your reference point I'd say a bigger problem would be creating assets. It would be straightforward to create a world with an engine like Ogre or Unity3D combined with some competent Scenebuilder and physics engine. In fact Ogre has a Demo which is basically the core of what you need (ie camera moving around a void with objects scattered about). Anyways Basic programming: Needed Graphics and sound engines: needed unless you want to build it from scratch. C++: Not necessarily needed. It helps with more complicated games and elaborate tasks and is the standard for mainstream commercial titles but other simpler languages are used or often preferred by beginners. For Ogre though you will be working with C++. OpenGL: Not needed unless you want to be a graphics programmer. Your engine will take care of most everything. Fancy math: not needed, just have a good grasp of college level math and you should be fine for nonexotic tasks. Graphics program: For a decent Dear Esther clone be prepared to either do a lot of searching on the internet or for you or someone working with you to crack open and learn your way around copy of photoshop and a 3d graphics editor. Good luck with that. 3d graphics programs like Maya are harder to learn than programming IMO.
2D vs 3D
Jarwulf replied to Aardvark Sam's topic in For Beginners's ForumTropico is isometric and can be rotated simcity 4 is a limited 3d approach that approximates isometric. Never played railroad tycoon.
memory management examples?
Jarwulf posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHi, never bothered much with memory management in C++ except when it was already in the code. I simply write my variables array etc without worrying about all that deallocating allocating stuff. I'm having a little bit of an issue understanding when it is necessary and when it is not. Now supposedly smart pointers are supposed to a handy blanket solution to C++ memory issues so that you don't have worry about anything else besides them right? Can somebody point me to some easy to understand samples of smart pointers specifically aimed toward someone who's trying to understand when they're necessary?
arbitrary sort function
Jarwulf replied to Jarwulf's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI see plenty of examples with simple stuff like arrays but I don't really see examples of how std:sort can work on arranging rows of a big input file let alone arranging them based on the value of a specific column in a predefined order ie (Z, X, A, B) .
arbitrary sort function
Jarwulf posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHi, does anyone know of a C++ sort algorithm or library that can take input of a bunch of rows and sort rows by an arbitrary defined order of such as ie sort rows by first column in this order (boba bobc bobe bobx) etc?
awk in perl
Jarwulf posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHi, I ran across this line in a perl file system ("awk \'\$1 == \"$label\" && \$3 <= $apex && \$4 >= $apex\{print\}\' $reference >temp_marker_$name") ==0 or die "$0 failed to awk"; Does anyone have an idea of what its doing? It seems to be printing out if some comparisons are met is as far as I figure. Also what is with a variable name like temp_marker_$name? Aren't scalar variables supposed to start with $ and not have them in the middle? What is the purpose of the slashes in the awk command?
problem with perl input
Jarwulf replied to Jarwulf's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingWhat is a windows way to replicate the same functionality of the line? Thanks
problem with perl input
Jarwulf posted a topic in General and Gameplay Programminghi, I'm having trouble running a perl script in both windows 7 and ubuntu in windows when I try to run it it states the input file is specified twice in ubuntu it claims it can't find the input file to open even though its in the same directory as the pl file I'm running. here is the code up to the error point which occurs around the system function. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use File::Spec; my $inputFile = $ARGV[0]; my $backgroudFile = $ARGV[1]; #get name of the tester file and set it as the current working directory my ($inputFileVolume,$inputFileDir,$name) = File::Spec->splitpath($inputFile); my @workingDirArr = ($inputFileVolume,$inputFileDir); my $workingDir = File::Spec->catdir(@workingDirArr); chdir $workingDir or die "$0 failed to chdir to working dir $workingDir"; system ("sort -k 1,1 -k 4n -T $workingDir $name >tempLoc_$name")==0 or die "$0 failed to sort $name"; open (NAM, "tempLoc_$name") or die "$0 failed to open file tempLoc_$name";
perl file function
Jarwulf posted a topic in General and Gameplay Programmingmy ($bumpFileVolume,$bumpFileDir,$name) = File::Spec->splitpath($bumpFile); my @workDirArr = ($bumpFileVolume,$bumpFileDir); my $workDir = File::Spec->catdir(@workDirArr); chdir $workDir or die "$0 failed to chdir to working dir $workDir"; system ("sort -k 1,1 -k 4n -T $workDir $name >tempLoc_$name")==0 or die "$0 failed to sort $name"; open (BRK, "tempLoc_$name") or die "$0 failed to open file tempLoc_$name"; open (OUTTWO, ">loc_analyze_$name") or die "$0 failed to open file loc_analyze_$name"; I'm a little confused as to whats happening here. What does it mean to create the variable $name attach it to the file I assume is $bumpfile and then use in as the part of loc_analyze_$name? Are they creating a new file or simply opening up an old one?
perl splitting
Jarwulf posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHi, I was wondering if this code is splitting what I think its splitting #LINE: while (@bumps){ LINE: while (<FIL>) { my $line2 = $_; chomp $line2; my @parts = split; my $rom_ref = $parts[0]; my $signal = $parts[1]; I'm assuming the array parts is from FIL being split. Is this correct?
All from scratch
Jarwulf replied to Richard Blues's topic in For Beginners's ForumI guess we now understand why the bearded executives think programmers are being babies when they complain about work schedules and crunch time. The public must think developers have it on Easy Street if they believe some kid can browse a website for a few hours and type themselves up a WOW killer or photoshop clone.

#117. Three black pieces in a row? Haha. I don't own or wear anything black myself (doesn't agree with my colouring) but loads of people do. And they love it! The black pieces of The Empress Dowager's New Jewels always get sold first so I thought what's the harm of making one more.
From another piece of textile designed by Cilla Ramnek from her Saralisa series for Ikea.
Product Information:
~ All pieces are 100% handstitched with love.
~ Each piece is a one-off so no two pieces of The Empress Dowager's New Jewels are the same
~ The smaller "gems" measure 3cm in diameter and the larger ones are 4.5cm
~ From the first "gem" on the left to the last one on the right: 30cm
~ Length of ribbon-tie: approximately 40cm on each side (to allow for the wearing of your New Jewels at various lengths

Australian Open tennis bettingJanuary 12, 2018
Australian Open betting promotions
The 2018 Australian Open gets underway at Melbourne Park on Monday 15th January. The favourites to win the Men's title are familiar names: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. The Ladies singles is more open this year though, whatever the case, there's plenty of tennis action and betting promotions to get through before we reach the finals.
Easy bonus bet

- For Round 1 matches
Chase the Ace bonus
- Aussie Open head to head bets

Head to head bets
The promotions on offer for the 2018 Aussie Open predominantly involve head to head bets. Whether it be a single head to head bet, or a combination of them in the form of a multi bet. The best value promotion is Palmerbet's offer, where they will refund your bet if your player wins the first set.
Pro's tip
The second offer of significance is William Hill's 'Chase the Ace' promotion. This is a fun way to earn a $10 bonus bet on any given match. The trick here is to look for big serving players that hit a high volumes of aces. In the early rounds, you can place a bet on heavily one-sided matches yet still be eligible for the maximum $10 bonus.
The 2018 Australian Open
The city of Melbourne plays host to the first Grand Slam tennis tournament of the 2018 season. Melbourne Park will be awash with fans enjoying 2 weeks of high quality tennis action. The Men's event sees the rejuvenated Roger Federer battle for favouritism up against arch rival Rafael Nadal. Returning from injury is multiple Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic. It's going to be a great couple of weeks!

I promised to keep a close eye on Chinese vegetable producer Chaoda Modern Agriculture (Holdings) Ltd. (HK:682) / (PINK:CMGHF).
I know many of you are keen to know as soon as possible what is going on with this stock. So I've decided to send you a special update on the matter.
On December 2, I reported that Chaoda had scheduled an annual general meeting for December 30. This should have given shareholders the opportunity to review the company's financial statements.
But Chaoda failed to produce the financial statements on time. And it postponed their release to an unspecified date.
All that we got at the December 30 meeting was a series of votes to reelect four directors of the company. And some votes on directors' remuneration.
Shareholders registered protest votes against all four of these directors. Three directors survived. But there was a majority vote cast against one. He will now leave the board.
Fifty-seven percent of shareholders voted against approving the remuneration of the directors.
On January 3, Chaoda announced that the company secretary and legal counsel, Ms. Yeung Pik Cheung, had resigned. She will be replaced by the internal promotion of Ms. Chong Suet Ming, who joined the company in 2008 as the finance manager.
The following statement was the only explanation provided by management:
Ms. Yeung has confirmed that there is no disagreement with the Board and she is not aware of any matter which should be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in relation to this matter.
The ongoing lack of financial statements is deeply unsatisfactory. Communication from the company about the delayed financial statements has been extremely poor. And the change of company secretary is suspicious, given its timing.
In short, management continues to severely test our patience. But we are stuck in a holding pattern with this stock.
I will update you on progress, as soon as we get some.
Until Friday.

I am so in love with the new stampin up blendabilities. They are so much fun to color with. For the tires and the ground I used my ink pads and a blender pen since I don't have those colors in the blendabilites yet. I used the sketch at Fab Friday for this card. Colors used are Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, and whisper white. The little flower is from the Boho Blossom punch and the little heart is from the Owl builder punch. Did you notice the different color rhinestones. I colored those with the blendabilities as well.
Well I hope everyone has a great week and stay warm if your in this neck of the woods.

By now, most of you would have already seen this movie, or would have read reams and reams about it. I will be able to say very little about it that's new. Still, I think it's worthy of being my first official (read non-Facebook/Twitter) movie review. Why? Because it emerged as the Hindi film industry's strongest, most hard-hitting FUN film of 2011. No One Killed Jessica and Shaitan were good but not exactly fun entertainers. The other good films of 2011 – Delhi Belly, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara – were good in a different way, not gut-wrenching. Stanley Ka Dabba was bittersweet and lovely but lacked punch.
The other reason for bestowing this honour on TDP was Vidya Balan. What a brave, brave move by someone whom the industry and audiences had not exactly loved. Few female actors in Bollywood would have dared to look so unattractive on screen. She has single-handedly raised the bar for giving one's all to the role and really going for gold in a film that reached for the stars but somehow, fell short. Major overarching flaw – too many concessions to "Bollywood". For one, there was nothing Tam about it (barring the token gajras in all the women's hair) so it really could have been set in any other city, or should have been made in Tamil or English, if Madras was so essential to the story. Secondly, I find it difficult to believe that women in Madras could run around on the street wearing next to nothing, and no one said a word. That too, thirty years ago.
But let's get back to plot. Loosely taking elements from the life of soft-porn star Silk Smitha (though producer Ekta Kapoor claims the film is not based on her and is more about the industry and the times), the film follows Reshma, a village girl with stars in her eyes. She makes it to Madras (though it is unclear what she does for a living while going for auditions). Through sheer perseverance, she manages to get a toe-hold in the film industry and suddenly, a star is born. She is groomed, plucked, styled, faired up, and presented to the world as Silk, a name chosen for her by producer and Reshma's mentor, Selva Ganesh a.k.a. Keeda Das (Rajesh Sharma, absolutely fantastic). She proceeds to take the industry and audiences by storm, with fans and foes in equal measure. There's eighties' cinema in all its gaudy glory and it's so much fun! Ooh La La is an absolute treat and Vidya revels in the OTTness of it all.
Silk gets involved with married superstar Suryakanth (Naseer, brilliant as always), but soon realizes that for him, as for most other people around, she's fun to be in bed with, but not appropriate to be seen with. From the object of everyone's lust on screen, she is reduced to hiding for hours in Suryakanth's bathroom when his wife returns home unexpectedly. She then embarks on an affair with Surya's younger brother Ramakanth (Tusshar Kapoor, in the only weak performance in the film) but he is no match for her and the relationship never quite takes off. Watch the scene where she uses an awards ceremony as a platform to lash out at the hypocrisy of a world in which directors, producers, writers, and male actors of "sexy" films are lauded, but the female lead is ridiculed, judged as loose-moralled, a "dirty secret" unfit for polite company. It is an incredible scene and Vidya makes you want to roar your support for her (I confess, I clapped in the movie theatre). And this is just at interval, making the viewer think there's more awesomeness in store. And there is, but not quite as punchy. The second half loses steam, when Silk's downfall results in her making a friend of the one person who's hated her guts all this while – director Abraham (Emraan Hashmi, competent and pleasant) who believes film is an intellectual art and people like Silk make it cheap and tawdry. It's an interesting equation the two share, but it drags on for too long, even giving Emraan some token hero time with the song Ishq Sufiana (lovely, but completely irrelevant and inappropriate here). Silk, meanwhile, has let fame go to her head and become completely full of herself, resulting an odd, but entirely believable mix of brash arrogance, unprofessional behaviour, and vulnerability. Her smoking and drinking are by now completely out of control and suddenly, producers and directors don't want her anymore, preferring new and upcoming star, Shakeela (shown as a trim, fit, sleek girl in a minidress and high boots – yet another concession to Bollywood that I have a problem with).
From struggle to success to complete and utter disgrace, the film follows Silk through it all, and gives us a character worth rooting for, despite, or maybe because of, her flaws. She is human, the film reminds us. And she makes us question our views with every thrust of her heaving bosom.

Will this movie be the game-changer for woman-oriented films to really become big in Bollywood? I don't know. All I know is that for days after I watched it, I could not get it out of my head. That, for me, is a true measure of its worth.

A new and simple method for the preparation of electrochromic tungsten oxide film is presented. This novel approach can be realized by introducing a nanoporous textured polyacrylic acid (PAA) layer between tungsten oxide layer and indium tin oxide (ITO) one by dip-coating process. Homogeneous film with a thickness of about 0.8 μm is made by single dipping a PAA-coated ITO glass in the WO3-NH4OH solution and shows an X-ray amorphous structure. During the cathodic and anodic processes by chronopotentiometry, the present films exhibit highly reversible electrochemical insertion of lithium ions; the corresponding inserted charge of 12.5 mC/cm2 gives rise to a marked blue color yielding the change in optical density (AOD) of 0.65 at 550 nm and a coloration efficiency (η) of 51.8 cm2/C.

Books I have finished
Ministry in Diversity: Applied Cultural Anthropology in a Multicultural World. 2nd edition
by Robert H. Munson. 2017.
Looks at the applied cultural anthropology from the perspective of those involved in Christian ministry… especially, but not limited to, cross-cultural missionaries. Updated from first edition, with new chapter on Inter-religious Dialogue (IRD) and minor corrections and other updates.,
Available on Amazon.com: Click Here
Theo-storying:Reflections on God, Narrative, and Culture.
by Robert H. Munson. 2012.
We as humans appear to be hardwired for stories. Whether the stories are in terms of myths or parables, whether they work in terms of metaphor or image, in the end we understand the abstract through narrative. God and our relationship with God, are concepts that stretch our ability to fathom cognitively. On an affective level, we are lost, commonly describing God, for example, in terms of who or what He is not, rather than who He is. The Bible exists culturally and historically bound in story. Jesus taught with stories, as well as many others in the Bible. Even when stories were not used directly, imagery and metaphor were commonly used to draw the ineffable into our own world of familiarity. This book will not seek to tackle the great challenges of Narrative Theology. Rather it seeks a humbler goal– to encourage people to think and speak of God in terms of stories that resonate with culture. "Godtalk" should be more about parable than proposition, story than statement, and inspiration than information.
The latest Revision (#3 I think). Paper or Kindle copies may be Purchased HERE.
Principles and Practices for Healthy Christian Medical Missions: Seeking the Church's Role for Effective Community Outreach in the Philippines and Beyond.
By Robert H. Munson, 2015
Based on my dissertation. Looks at guiding principles for how short-term medical mission events can be done in partnership with local churches for long-term community impact and transformation. Click HERE.
The Art of Pastoral Care
by Robert H. Munson and Celia P. Munson. 2016.
Finally finished it after 3 or 4 years (working on it a bit at a time, off and on. It is written for Bible school students, especially for Intro to Pastoral Care & Counseling Class or Clinical Pastoral Orientation. Vol. 2, The Dynamics of Pastoral Care, for those dong Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) or Clinical Pastoral Supervision, is still only about 40% done. It will take awhile. The primary focus is the Philippine context, but not exclusively so.
Some Books in Process
- The Dynamics of Pastoral Care. In Process. Hopefully will be done in 2018. A follow-on to "The Art of Pastoral Care." The focus is on the dynamic qualities of therapeutic relationships— particularly in terms of group dynamics, family systems, and the supervisory relationship.
- Inter-religious Dialogue. I have not chosen the title yet. but it is a book for teaching my course at seminary on this topic. It targets Southeast Asia, but not strictly so, and emphasizes a form of IRD more in line with Max Warren and John Stott, rather than more relativistic forms.
Some Books I Will Probably Never Finish
A couple of books I developed while at school. I have found them useful for some follow on blogging and publishing… but believe they will never be fully done (unless they are totally revamped)
Thoughts on Wholistic Ministry in Biblical Context.
by Robert H. Munson. It has chapters on different passages of the Bible, reflecting on them through the lens of wholistic ministry. You are certainly welcome to look at it.
Click Here: Wholistic Ministry
Mission Living.
by Robert H. Munson. Insights I had on missions based on my first 4 years serving in missions at seminary in the Philippines and leading a medical mission organization (with family).
Click Here: Mission Living
- Missions and Theology Crossroads.
Looks at a number of aspects of how missions and theology intersect… or should intersect. Includes topics in the theological foundation for missions, reflective theology, contextual theology, and evaluation of contextual theology. I have around 70 pages done, but will probably never publish it as a book. One chapter has become chapter 17 of my book, "Ministry in Diversity." Other parts are being used for various training materials and articles. May utilize it eventually to provide material for a book on Inter-religious Dialogue, or something similar. We will see.

Settling In…...................... Kind of
Hi! My name is Kalee Kennedy! I'm currently studying Art & Visual Culture in Copenhagen, Denmark with the DIS program. Here are my thoughts, musings, and photos from my time over there.
"Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing here and I'm just figuring it out as I go along."
The girl next to me in the Diverse Identities Social Club culture talk said this as she introduced herself and pretty much shocked the room, but I couldn't help but feel kin to the feelings she spoke to.
I think before getting here I didn't think this would be as hard as it is. Adjusting to an unfamiliar culture and an unfamiliar language is just as hard as they told me, but I figured because I had experience living with different cultures that it would be a piece of cake. Boy, was I wrong.
I left January 12th in the evening to make my connection to Munich. To say the least, my mom was more emotional than I was and my sister was practically pushing me to the gate lol.
I had a hard time sleeping on both planes, so I was majorly sleep deprived when I made it into Copenhagen. That being said, every DIS staff member I ran into was more than welcoming and accommodating. I was then driven over to my kollegium and given the keys to my room. Before I could let myself pass out until we had to meet back up at 7 pm to do a quick tour around the neighborhood, I managed to unpack my bags and take stock of what was provided by the program for me.
On the night tour, we found that the neighborhood grocery store was right at the corner and the mall was just a minute walk away. We also had the train and bus stops right near our doors. So, a prime location for sure. We then headed to the grocery store and woah. That was the greatest anxiety-inducing activity I had to complete. Even though I had studied Danish with some apps and a quarter course at school it didn't prepare me for the fact that all the stuff that I would usually eat is not available in Denmark. Also, without an oven, the meals that I initially thought to make while I was here has changed greatly. I hope by the end of my stay I can say that I learned more stovetop recipes and managed to keep myself fed without utilizing takeaway and restaurant options.
The next day, Sunday, we were sent on a scavenger hunt to familiarize ourselves with the transportation and the offerings of our neighborhood, Nørrebro. My two person group ending up winning a gift card to this fancy dessert place. I can't wait to use it.
At the start of the week, we went through our arrival orientation events. The opening assembly was in this beautiful space. It reminded me of an old burlesque room from Moulin Rouge. We heard some music from Jada, a Danish singing artist and some welcoming comments from the directors of the program.
Then we were sent on a scavenger hunt of some of the primary historical landmarks of Copenhagen. We found out some great information about King Christian IV and saw the Queen's guards announce her arrival with a march and music. But, it was extremely cold, so we tried to get it done as fast as possible. Afterwards, we went to Jagger for lunch/dinner. That was a great day of exploring and getting to know new people.
The following days, I went to a couple of my classes and I'm really excited to get into them and learn alot.
Now back to the first quotation:
Although, I'm learning a lot about the country and the people. I still have a lot of fears. I'm hesitant to speak the language or even speak English sometimes because I feel for some reason it's disrespectful almost. I also don't know exactly how to navigate places which is a little scary as well. The etiquette is lost on me right now and I'm trying to discern from social clues what exactly is happening. Hopefully, I'll be able to address my fears and really get involved with the program and the culture. That starts with the Activities Fair and my visitng host family.

Doug Casey on Conspiracies, Gold and the Continuing 'Greater Depression' of the World's• http://www.thedailybell.com
Doug Casey: I'm not concerned about gold being down because markets fluctuate. And considering that gold's been in a bull market for a dozen years, I'm very unconcerned about the fact that it's come off. All the fundamentals that underlie the bull market are still in place.
As far as gold stocks are concerned, they've always been a highly leveraged play on gold so when gold catches cold the gold stocks have always caught pneumonia, and that's the case now. Of course, that's amplified by the fact that costs in the mining sector have skyrocketed and it costs on the average $1,000 to $1,200 to get an ounce of gold out of the ground at this point.

|Looking to name a new plant and register it. I've been hybridizing daylilies for many years now and have a new Rudbeckia plant to introduce but have no idea where to do this? Can you help me.
Thank you
Jun 30, 2016 2:32 AM CST
| To register you would need to find an ICRA (International Cultivar Registration Authority) that covers Rudbeckia if there is one. On a quick look I don't see one on the list of ICRA's:
I did find this via Google but I don't see it on the list above:
You could try asking the ISHS:
If there is no registry for Rudbeckia then you can publish the name yourself according to the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants:
There is also the plant patent route if you want to go that far.

CD Reviews 2016/2015
Senior EditorJosé Calderón, better known as "DJ José," has been playing independently for over twenty years in New York City. Born in Harlem of Cuban parents, he inherited a deep sense of cultural pride which only intensified as he listened to the music he heard consistently at home. Celia Cruz, La Sonora Matancera, Johnny Pacheco, Orquesta Aragon and Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez are just a few of the artists who influenced his style of playing, which he describes as "a strong mix of Cuban and Puerto Rican conjunto style, saturated with New York flavor." His pride is evident when spinning. He states, "I've been given the honor and opportunity to play for a select crowd, and I vow to never disappoint them."
An avid listener of Vicki Sola's show, DJ José has played at many well-known venues such as Side Street, Tropicana, Iguana's, Windows Over Harlem, Leather Lounge, Salsa Wednesdays at Julia DeBurgos, alternate Fridays at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, selected Wednesday's at Jimmy Delgado's Taino Towers, and the annual Quenepa dances in Long Island, emceeing and playing alongside many of the renowned bands of yesterday and today, as well as collaborating with many personalities. Supporting worthy causes has also been an important mission for him. He has joined forces with the Sanchez sisters' Celebration of Life, and The Latinas Hat Society and their events. He maintains a bi-weekly email trail, informing Latin music aficionados of his own activities as well as those of his many colleagues throughout the city.
DJ José is a founding member of Salsa Warriors Radio; indeed it was his on-air "Que Viva La Música" birthday party at WFDU-FM that inspired the formation of this unique twenty-four hour Internet radio station that features some of the music's best DJ,s, from the New York metro area and beyond and has received worldwide acclaim. His show "Boleros Con Soul" can be heard Sunday mornings at 8 a.m. ET and his program "Salsa……Y Algo Más" can be heard Monday evenings at 7 p.m ET on SalsaWarriors.com.
Previously singing briefly
with Benny Vargas and Sonido Amante after winning 2nd place in a Boleros contest at the 5th Annual International Latin/Tropical Music Collectors Festival held by Caribbean Cultural Center in
2008, José has been a member of Boricua Legends since May of 2015.
Topping it off, he currently belongs to the National Improv League, being one of twenty players comprised of some of the best comedians, actors and poets on the East Coast. He states "Being a freshman in the art of performance and comedy, and being part of the National Improv League, I am personally willing to take on this new challenge...of course, under the guidance of all the wonderful professionals that surround me. Who knows, maybe I'll add a grain a salt to the mix!" ◊◊◊
DJ Carmencita
Review by Senior Editor José Calderón
The end of 2016 is near, and it's time to review some great new music on the market for the holidays.
A word of advice…never underestimate the power of a DJ, because many have unexpected surprises in their abilities to entertain the dancers. Such is the case of personal friends and colleagues DJ Marysol Cerdeira who heads her own show Montuneando Con Marysol on WBAI 99.5 FM alternate Sundays from 3 to 6P.M., DJ Andy Rodriguez who has released two CDs up to date with a constellation of well-known stars as well as his own successful compositions, such as Soy Guarachero, a dance favorite…and I won't mention what I'm up to, 'cause you already know…lol!
Now the light shines on "Mi Pasion," a recent release by DJ Carmen Otero Martinez, a respected DJ who heads the most popular nightclubs of the Metropolitan area of Puerto Rico, revered for her passion of the music she plays. Completing a dream she's had for a number of years, she reunites many of the most popular musicians of our current times, such as pianist Carlos Garcia, Sammy Garcia, Richie Bastar, Diego Gale, singers Rico Walker, Luisito Carrion, Mel Martinez and many more. Eight delightful tunes adorn this recording,including my personal favorite "Suenos," with the lyrics stating, "We must continue to dream of faith, longing and hope."
What's particularly unique to this production, aside from its star-studded cast, is that all the proceeds of the sale of this CD are donated to charity, particularly to Down Syndrome (LA FUNDACIÓN PUERTORRIQUEÑA DE SÍNDROME DOWN) and the housing of abused children removed from troubled homes (HOGAR MIS PRIMEROS PASOS). What better way to celebrate the upcoming festivities than to enjoy music while helping an important cause…
My hat off to you, Carmencita!
Blessings to all!
DJ José Calderón
SI POR MI LLEVE by The Boricua Legends
Greetings to all!
Hopefully, you've enjoyed the summer and the relentless heat that accompanied it (that's what it's all about, right? Lol!) Well, it's time to write about our music and I want to include something very special to me...
I wrote this piece some time ago after being invited to participate in The Boricua Legends Orchestra by leader Pedro "Pocholo" Segundo. Within 4 months of my inclusion, this new single was being promoted and I took the opportunity to write the review and history of the song. To our fortune, it maintained itself in the top 75 songs for many months in 2015 I hesitated in publishing the review to avoid partiality due to my involvement, but a year and months later, it is a happily requested tune in our presentations and I am thankful to be a part of it.
So, without further hesitation, here is "Si Por Mi Lleve" with my Boricua Legends family..
Here is the new recording of the Boricua Legends, under the leadership of Pedro "Pocholo" Segundo, exalted percussionist from Toa Baja, Puerto Rico...
SI POR MI LLUEVE, under the executive production of Ernie Acevedo, makes a fitting tribute to the unforgettable Cheo Feliciano, recorded in 1971. Now, 44 years later and with renewed vigor, with the arrangement by Arturo Ortiz, it is interpreted with the powerful voice of Toby Rivera, and an incredible piano solo by the great Gilberto Colon Jr., hoping to be of your enjoyment pleasure...
Special mention to Richard Rivera for his unconditional support of this video montage.
Saludos a todos!
Espero que hayas disfrutado el verano y el calor implacable que la acompañaba (de eso se trata, verdad? Lol!) Bueno, es hora de escribir sobre nuestra música y quiero incluir algo muy especial para mí ...
Escribí esta pieza hace algún tiempo después de haber sido invitado a participar en la Orquesta Boricua Legends por su líder, Pedro "Pocholo" Segundo. 4 meses de mi inclusión, se estuvo promoviendo este nuevo sencillo y me dio la oportunidad de escribir la crítica y la historia de la canción . Para nuestra fortuna, se mantuvo en las lista de la 75 canciones mas populares durante muchos meses en el 2015. Dudé en publicar este repaso para evitar la parcialidad de mi participación, pero luego de un año y meses más tarde, es una melodía felizmente solicitada en nuestras presentaciones, y doy gracias por ser parte de ello.
Así es que, sin más vacilaciones…aquí esta " Si Por Mi Lleve " con mi familia de Boricua Legends!
Aqui esta de estreno…la nueva grabacion de Los Boricua Legends, bajo el liderazgo de Pedro "Pocholo" Segundo, percusionista excelso de Toa Baja, Puerto Rico…
SI POR MI LLUEVE, haciendole un merecido tributo al inolvidable Cheo Feliciano, grabado en el año 1971. Ahora, 44 años despues y con nuevos brios, con arreglo de Arturo Ortiz, en la voz potente de Toby Rivera, con un solo de piano del gran Gilberto "Pulpo" Colon, esperando ser el agrado de todos ustedes…
Agradecimientos infinitos a Richard Rivera por su ayuda incondicional en el desarollo de este video.
Review, review, review…it's time to discuss what is new!
Gather 'round, friends so dear, musical productions that bring us cheer!
The return of Mr. Afinque, Willie Rosario, is a joyous occasion to celebrate. This veteran of rhythmic sounds, decades of success, and singers launched to stardom, is back to continue claiming his musical throne. With Evidencia, it shows he's never lost the essence of what is necessary for the dance—he has perfected his approach to a seasoned sound of elements only an expert would apply. At times one wonders why the gap between the recordings released, but it is well worth the wait…trust me on this!
The entire album swings, and my highlights include La Raza Caliente, Defiende el Amor with the vocals by Kayvan Vega, De Enero A Enero/Nuestra Cancion with the guest crooner Alex D'Castro and an instrumental Latin Jazz tune named Rosario's Beat. Can you believe this incredible album was musically directed and produced by "El Rey Del Bajo," Bobby Valentín? Sky's the limit with these incredible musicians, and I'm so grateful for their lifelong dedication.
It's probably easier to do your own renovations as we all know our specifications to the ultimate details, right? This is probably the case of the new release by Bobby Valentín, titled Mi Ritmo Es Bueno, a tune he recorded in 1974 for the album Rey Del Bajo, a title that describes him perfectly, due to his ability to produce such incredible work throughout the years.
Without hesitating, he continues to smoothly profess his dominance of the bass through the twelve tunes featured in this outing, featuring standout numbers such as El Amolador, Yo No Engaño A Las Nenas, a musical remake (in salsa) of his musical colleague Eddie Palmieri, and an ode to Cachao with a booming bass solo in Homenaje a Cachao. No one could even tell some of these are old tunes, such as Mentiras Tuyas, an old Cuban bolero standard included.
Can you believe Bobby has reached his seventy-fifth year of life with this recording? Let's celebrate with…Mi Ritmo Es Bueno!
El Viejo Esta En La Calle…otra vez! (The old man is on the street…again!)
Before I get an avalanche of slippers thrown at me during my opening words, this is simply the title of one of El Caballo Negro's recent recordings. He's considered El Caballo Negro in comparison to the symbolic beauty and elegance of a galloping black horse, similar to his movements on stage. This new CD titled Tronco Viejo(Old Trunk), is simply referring to dusting off some old tunes with fresh new arrangements. With his recent trip to Cuba,one that he had desired for many decades, I had assumed he'd return recording an album very similar to Jose Alberto "El Canario's" musical homage with El Septeto Santiaguero, but Ventura always adheres to state of the art techniques, keeping it modern to appeal to the youth of today, as well as to his followers of always. It is his reverence to the beautiful, including salsa and son montunos, and duets with Omara Portuondo, Silvio Rodriguez, Tony Avila and even Gilberto Santa Rosa.
Let's support Johnny Ventura, "El Rey Del Merengue" and his Tronco Viejo! ◊◊◊
There's a time and a place for everything…
I've always wondered about the logic of progression, especially in our music. Many things may occur…appropriate timing, legalities, and other relevant factors that lead up to promoting a song and an artist. Regardless of our current situations, and to my standards, true talent shall prevail.
This is the case of this unique single that fell into my hands (not literally…lol) titled DAME LA MANO. What caught my attention to this tune was the distinctive vocalist, whose raspy voice commands attention as well as the powerful drive the band backing him up brings forth. I decided to do my investigation, and see who is behind this.
ROBERTO REYES, a native New Yorker with Puerto Rican-defined roots, says his musical influence and expression began with his evangelical upbringing. By sheer coincidence of being at the right place at the right time, he demonstrated his singing talent at the "NY Joint" (as he states) called Gonzalez and Gonzalez (where I personally got my first break eight years ago with Benny Vargas and Sonido Amante), and where he was literally "thrown" on stage to sing with this Bronx band. The leader of the band made what eventually would be the instrumental connection to recording this innovative melody. Mr. Efrain "Spider" Colón, who considered by Roberto as the "Sergio George," alluding to his exceptional musical talents as tentacles, gathering some well-known musicians and making the arrangements. When asked what singing meant to him, he replied, "I just love to sing and affect people. I believe it is a talent given to share. Not only share but to use." Also dabbling confidently in the House/Dance circuit, a connection to his roots has been made, and other unfinished products are to be completed in the near future.
There's a time and a place for everything…and the time is now! Success to Roberto and his musical endeavors! ◊◊◊
Orquesta Mulenze Y Seguimos CD (MGK/Select-O-Hits 710553), Released 2015
After over thirty years of success in Puerto Rico, leading his band to international success, and more than fifteen albums launching venerated voices such as those of Pedro Brull and Raphy Andino, we have a new addition to the roster. An all-star cast with the likes of Luisito Carrion, Victor Manuelle, Charlie Sierra and more, "Y Seguimos" simply states that Edwin Morales pushes full speed ahead with Mulenze and that uncanny rhythm that defines their household name. Get it quickly!
The Best Of Nacho Sanabria Y Su Orquesta Import CD (Rareza Music 140006), Released 2016
As you know, I'm a sucker for that rich conjunto sound, and Nacho Sanabria is the complete embodiment of this. I can hear those albums he recorded in the 70's and the pulsating rhythm does not tire to listen or dance to. Here is a compilation of some of his earlier pieces with some re-recordings of his own classics, as well one or two live presentations. Highly recommended!
Wito Colón Historia Nueva CD (WJ Records 535898), Released 2015
Fairly new to soloing, but a known musical figure (Sonora Ponceña, Los Bravos De La Costa, La Terrifica…Wito's secomd album is "Historia Nueva" (new story), where he musically excels and demonstrates the strength of his vocal presence. Many original tunes, a re-recording of a classic, and a killer duet with Yolanda Rivera and Luigi Texidor, this album is one of the must-haves of the year!
A return to basics, and these recordings from the late 70's and early 80's are definitely worthy of collecting. From the remembered defunct label VELVET, this definitely marked the developmental strength of Venezuela in the salsa genre, with the participation of a few respected Puerto Rican singers, such as Andy Montañez, Tito Gomez, and Pellin Rodriguez. These recordings and compilations of great tunes from Orquesta La Amistad, La Salsa Mayor, Naty & su Orquesta & La Dimension Latina provided years of entertainment and represented South America magnificently.
Raphy Leavitt Y Orquesta La Selecta Hasta Siempre! CD (Rl Records/Select-O-Hit 710563), Released 2015
What better way to honor Raphy Leavitt, this incredible bandleader of La Selecta, who passed away at age 66 this past August 2015, than with his last musical recording, "Para Siempre."
A composer of many legendary hits, such as "Herido," "Jibaro Soy," and "Payaso," he always highlighted the social aspects of his native Puerto Rico with positivity through his music. His iconic tune, "La Cuna Blanca," resulted from a van accident Leavitt experienced with his band in 1972, killing his trumpeter and leaving Raphy in a coma. With his near death experience, the inspiration of this song came forth, used for honoring at funerals for many on the island and abroad. ◊◊◊
"Sigue Caminando" is a breakthrough of the new bridged with the classic…
In our current day and age, what the musical aficionados search for is a connection of our musical roots together with the evolution of technology, sung by a representation of the upcoming youth with a remembrance of our classics.
Ladies and gents…this single has all these elements!
Jean Paul Tamayo, a multi-faceted songster, is truly no newcomer to the scene. A Parisian-born chap with Colombian roots, he created his own band with the mission of conquering the world, beginning in Europe and collaborating with legendary names such as Camilo Azuquita and Maelo Ruiz, amongst others. With the preparation of a completed first full recording coming up in 2016, Tamayo will take the world by storm with a mixture of the classics, with swinging up-tempo numbers, refreshingly new arrangements and original compositions, but never stopping to reflect and evoke the legends that have laid the building blocks in our music. When I asked him what is the composition of your upcoming recording, he stated, "It's mostly salsa dura, but a few 'romantica', with good swing and good arrangements." I honestly can't wait for the finished product!
He has the honor of teaming up with legendary angel-voiced crooner, Tito Allen, known worldly for his Alegre (Fania) solo outings and unforgettable collaborations with Louie Ramirez, Tipica 73, and Ray Barretto, amongst his extensive repertoire, to create an uniquely flowing harmony where each give props to their mutual respect and admiration while releasing a call-and-response, with their abilities to inspire, this tune will definitely invite the dancers onto the floor and into the groove! Proof of this concept was evident in his release party presentation in La Topa Tolondra in Cali, Colombia this past November, featuring his new single recording, to be launched and distributed worldwide through digital stores. Plans on releasing a full album is set for 2016.
Await great things from this musical unity, which will make the dancers "seguir caminando"! In fact, this upcoming Wednesday, February 10th will be the worldwide release and publication of this video on social media.
Check it out at www.youtube.com/tamayojp . Yours truly greatly recommends it!

A 2015 release…
With the mention of a few recent recordings, I'd like to address a subject matter many can misinterpret, which is the rerecording of well-known songs.
There are "classics" revered by many across the hemisphere we can relate to a specific artist, which may be the source of their popularity, catapulting them to longevity even after their lifetimes. Some would say many of these songs could never be interpreted any better than the artists who exposed them worldly, possibly falling short to their grand status, and even desecrating the celebrity category it has been given. But this is far from the truth…
In many cases, a substantial amount of classics we hold in the highest regard have been recorded prior to their public acclaim. For example, La Sonora Matancera fulfills the category of one of the most recorded musical institutions of Latin America. Songs such as "Las Muchachas" (recorded by Johnny Pacheco and Hector Casanova), "Guaguanco No. 3" (covered by Yolanda Rivera and La Terrifica), "Yambu Pa' Gozar" (interpreted by Ismael Miranda and Orquesta Harlow) are a few from the extensive catalogue rediscovered by emerging artists of the era. Other excellent examples are Celia Cruz rerecording her previous landmark recordings, such as "Yerbero Moderno," " Bonco," "Danza del Cocoye," and "Cao Cao Mani Picao," to name a few, as well as her interpretation of "La Rueda" by Frankie Ruiz y La Solucion and "Me Llevaron La Cartera," popularized in the 70's by Junior Gonzalez and Larry Harlow.
With that said, here are a few of the excellent releases of 2015 with the similar concept:
An honorable mention to the continuance of the flame…! Cita Rodriguez, daughter of the legendary Fania crooner Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez, honors Graciela Perez exuberantly, adding her own flare of sass and pizzazz to these renowned tunes. With what seems to be remnants of the Mambo Legends Orchestra backing her up, her voice fires up a sensual flame to "Ay, José / Esto Es Lo Ultimo (Si Si No No)" and "La Botanica," as well as great boleros such as "Cuando Te Fuiste De Mi." Kudos to the Caribbean Cultural Center for commissioning such an extravaganza! A trip to the past with today's experience…a journey worth taking!
.…And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,…"
Reminded of our national anthem, this is the mental imagery that occurs when listening to the cavalcading resonance of Doug Beavers' TITANES DEL TROMBON from beginning to end. Supporting my previously mentioned concept, the rerecording of "Boranda" does extreme justice in this new and improved descarga-extended format. You gotta' hear it if you haven't already!
I can tell you…a tsunami is nothing compared to the torrential force to which this music is coming from! It showers instrumentation with precision and resonance! Luis Gonazalez and his Orquesta bring about excitement and the desire to dance with this new recording, with original songs and rhythmic classics to die for…particularly Justo Betancourt's "Ella Esta En Otra Rumba" and Roena's "Vamos Hablame Ahora"…get it!
Talk about returning to your roots…! Jose Alberto "El Canario" not only honors el son as his tropical origins of Dominican Republic do so well, he embarks on a voyage to Cuba to record with El Septeto Santiaguero as well as with many other surprise guests. In no way a snoozer, but rather a pleaser, and what better way to inaugurate the relations with the land of rum and tobacco than with the sounds of the guajiro (mountain man-farmer) with the engulfing son-montuno…Too many to select, but "Rita La Caimana" and "Hay Un Run Run" bring to mind the legendary duo Los Compadres. Highly Recommended!
Even Noel Quintana "Mr. Conga" (R), an ex New York transplant, has been working diligently with his "Latin Crew" to finally release a classic single, "Sonaremos El Tambor", covered by the likings of Sonora Ponceña and Tipica '73 to name a few. A band leader, percussionist, educator, and even a radio show host on his resume, he finds time to release this classic, joining forces with well-known crooner Frankie Morales (L), with more singles to arrive on the scene in months to come…
Please support these hard-working artists with the purchase of their recent releases in the format of your choice! ◊ ◊ ◊
There is "Una Nueva Historia" (a new story)…
When the history of music is written, this gentleman's name must be included and revered. Charlie Aponte became a strong force of "La Universidad de La Salsa" (The Salsa University) …El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico, replacing legendary singer Pellin Rodriguez in 1972, when the latter embarked on a solo career after ten years with the musical organization. Charlie became an important staple and relentless force with EGC, leaving a history of over thirty albums, plus many memorable tunes known worldwide.
After forty-one years of uninterrupted work with the unit, due to personal reasons, Aponte decided to leave EGC. The world of music was concerned; no one knew what would become of our admired singer after over four decades of service, nor what to expect. But, here is the product, one that definitely will not disappoint…
Under the tutelage of producer Sergio George, famed for his multiple collaborations throughout these last three decades, Charlie soars with innovative rhythms and shows his dynamic and refreshing style, without losing a beat. Ten songs play through leaving you only the desire for more, and although we are used to hearing him with a more traditional sound, this new production has the potential to enlarge his fan base by appealing to a much broader spectrum. Highlights on this album include the first promotional single "Para Festejar," an ode encouraging the world to have fun despite adversity, reminiscent of "La Vida Es Un Carnaval," Celia Cruz's transcend-ental song also produced by George. "Asi Es Puerto Rico" is a reminder to his island that although he left the University, this graduate utilizes all that he acquired through-out those years, as well as "Gracias Salsero," where he shows profound appreciation to all the dancers and music collectors worldwide. Let's not forget to note the partici-pation of top names such as Charlie Sierra, Sammy Garcia, Jimmie Morales, Johnny Rivera, Ramon Rodriguez, and Hector "Pichie" Perez to name a few…
This story has a happy ending—our faith in Charlie Aponte will always remain! ◊◊◊
There is a Spanish proverb that states, "De tal palo, tal astilla," which translated means, "A chip off the old block." This expression is commonly used in Latin America to say that a son or daughter behaves or does something similar to his or her father, therefore it's easy to tell that they are related, as well as when the child has the same physical aspects as aptitudes and qualities.
This obviously is the case of Pete Perigñon, son of Don Perigñon, successful leader of La Puertorriqueña. Following a very similar path, Pete plays the traditional music of the great legends as well as the newer tunes worthy of covering. To continue on the right foot, using age to his advantage, playing cover tunes with swing works so well for him, and for his eager audience as well. His first promotional single, LOS PASOS DE MI PADRE, written by Angel Santos and sung by Juan Pablo Diaz, honors the hard efforts of his father, complete with a pulsating , suave dance rhythm.
A treat is in store for you…Pete has daringly recorded TENGO QUE CONFORMARME, a tune recorded in recent years by the infamous MAMBO LEGENDS ORCHESTRA (formerly the Tito Puente Orchestra) with arrangements and blessings by the stellar Sonny Bravo, knowing quite well that Pete is one of the many of this era that will continue lighting the path for our music and honoring our unforgettable legends. Here's a perfect example of this artistry in motion:
Topping this brilliance are Luis "Perico" Ortiz, Luisito Carrion, Jerry Rivas and Victor Manuelle, all participating in making this musical dream a reality, which will available to purchase towards the end of February.
With all seeming dim at certain moments in terms of our music's future, there is a light at the end of the tunnel…and this acorn, luckily, didn't fall far from the tree!
OMG…It's 2015! Have I been resting on my laurels? LOL, absolutely not! I've been working (as I'm sure many of you are) since the first day of the year, so this may explain my silence. But I'm here now, and I'll begin the year with suggesting five of the most recent releases I can assure are worthy of purchasing and enjoying…!
This first album done by Alfredito "Sabor" Linares (born on January 27, 1945)—in way over a decade—is a true treat! I've always admired the interpretations of salsa from Central and South America, with their unique arrangements, making their recordings sound so different and authentic. Linares was always at the vanguard of his era in Peru, moving to Colombia in the 70's, and becoming a cult figure throughout the world.
Produced by Edwin Gonzáles aka "DJ Gonzo," a well-known promoter of salsa in Houston, Texas, and utilizing the vocals of William Viafara (La Mision Orquesta) and Danny Gómez, he ressurects some great classics of other legends as well as his own compositions. Tunes such as "Mi Bomba Sono" (of Celia Cruz and La Sonora Matancera fame) have a fresh arrangement that just bursts into musical flames, as well as Joseito Mateo's popular tune, "Mi Hijo Y Yo." You'll remember his greatest hit "Tihuanaco" recorded on "Alfredito Linares y su Salsa All Stars" in 1972. Well, he's recorded a brand new version of it.
Enough…enough! I'm stopping the press, and I'm running home to play it!
I am so impressed, and so will you be with this new musical concept, directly from "The Island of Enchantment".
In my last trip to Puerto Rico in March 2014, throughout the island I listened to this music that I thought over and over again was from Cuba, with its has a timba-fusion sound and heavily-urbanized vocalist. I thought to myself…this must be Los Van Van or Manolito Simonet. But I was wrong.
This new recording from 2013 is making a lot of noise, in a positive, influential way, all over the island and beyond. Under the tutelage of Francisco Rosado aka "Pirulo," who has inherited this musical prowess from his father and uncles who played the 70's heyday, this album reminds me of that era, with its Cuban salsa influences of improvisation and arrangements.
The tunes that stand out on this great recording are "Como Mi Salsa Ninguna," "Loco Pero Feliz," and "Ya Llego," amongst all of these colorfully flavorful selections. Special thanks to Emma Pacheco, who "schooled" me on this incredible release!
This outing by percussionist Ralphy Santi (Mr. Ansias) was released in 1983 with the following cover:
I'm a lover of the conjunto sound…the rich and authentic instrumentation which is as bona fide as tobacco and home-roasted coffee from tropical countries. Ralphy has always pulled through since the 70's, even up to his most recent 2012 recording, where he joined forces with many great singers.
Highlights include "Tumba El Cuento," "Imoye," and "Nunca," with the unforgettable Louie Ramírez on piano, Ray Martinez on bass, and Jorge Maldonado and Ray De La Paz on chorus.
I love it!!!
Wow…yes, a bolero album! Many of you may be very surprised to see a review of a bolero album on the "Salsa" page. Well, doing my online show "BOLEROS CON SOUL" on www.salsawarriors.com every Sunday morning from 8-10 A.M. brings to light many of our great salsa singers belting out this revered genre as well as honoring classic interpretations. Also, the underlying factor is the musician accompanying our seasoned crooner, Danny Rivera, on this incredible album…NELSON GONZÁLEZ! González is known for his outstanding "tres playing" on albums such as Ismael Miranda's Orquesta Revelación ("Asi Se Compone Un Son"), Típica '73, his own debut album ("Mary Juana"—not the drug…lol) and has made many other musical contributions. The underlying son montuno tone is heavily accentuated all throughout the album as well.
An album of classics with an "unplugged" sound, as how I hear it. Danny makes everything so beautiful, and his voice is impeccable. The only misfortune is the output of its promotion, left to public presentation in concert venues. I hope you can acquire this incredible recording, and I will play excerpts as time progresses.
Continuing with this well-regarded musical variety is the new release of "El Caballero De La Salsa," who carries the reigning title of "king of sold-out presentations." Not a stranger of interchanging, the fact that the title "Necesito Un Bolero" can demonstrate his aptitude of variety and ease of adaptation. I also agree that we "need" this music in between the frenzy and excitement of pulsating rhythms, a trend that seems to be dying out or even nonexistent with our younger generations.
There are duets with Marco Antonio Solis, Lena Burke, Natalia Lafourcade and Eugenia Leon, featuring a lot of storytelling behind many of the songs. Honestly, what I would give to see this performed live on stage, because it possesses such incredibly strong potential. ◊◊◊
Well, that's it, guys! …and remember, I also have my show SALSA Y ALGO MAS on Mondays from 7-9 P.M., on SALSA WARRIORS RADIO!
Take care!

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Deutsche Bank cut its rating on German memory chipmaker Infineon Technologies IFX, +11.11% IFX, +1.13% to sell from hold and set a price target at 7 euros. "After an abnormally good year, we believe that the DRAM industry will be c. 9.5 percent oversupplied in 2005," Deutsche told clients. "Infineon's analyst day... did not showcase a radical departure from previous strategic orientations but rather the potential for a more focused execution. We welcome this, but do not expect to witness tangible results before fiscal year 2006 at the earliest." Infineon competes with Samsung and Micron Technology MU, -1.44% in memory chips.

Two very different media personalities have touched a nerve among Hispanics.
First, Dame Edna, Vanity Fair's over-the-top advice doyenne -- and the alter ego of the humorist Barry Humphries -- gave some flip advice in February's issue when asked to suggest a language to learn.
''Forget Spanish,'' Dame Edna wrote.
''There's nothing in that language worth reading except Don Quixote, and a quick listen to the CD of 'Man of La Mancha' will take care of that.'' She added: ''Who speaks it that you are really desperate to talk to? The help? Your leaf blower? Study French or German, where there are at least a few books worth reading, or, if you're American, try English.''
Dame Edna's consistently tasteless advice usually draws chuckles. But Latino organizations inundated Vanity Fair with e-mail messages, calls and letters.
''We don't equate Dame Edna with Trent Lott,'' said Lisa Navarrete, a spokeswoman for the National Council of La Raza. ''But what was written reinforces stereotypes and really hits a nerve with Latinos who have grown up with people looking down on our language and culture.''
She suggested that the presence of Salma Hayek, a Mexican-born actress, on the cover of the issue only made the insult sting all the more. Ms. Hayek herself wrote a letter that Vanity Fair provided.Continue reading the main story
''I'm sure you think you're funny, maybe sometimes you are, I wouldn't know,'' Ms. Hayek wrote. ''However, your humor in the February issue of Vanity Fair brings me to the conclusion that you're only funny-looking.'' She added, ''The great irony is that I am Mexican, I speak Spanish, and I am on the cover of Vanity Fair.''
Vanity Fair issued a statement saying that the editors ''regret that certain remarks in our February issue by the entertainer and author Barry Humphries, in the guise of his fictional character Dame Edna, have caused offense to our readers.''
Then, on Thursday night, the Fox News talk host Bill O'Reilly, used the word ''wetback'' as he fumbled for the word ''coyote'' to describe smugglers who transport illegal immigrants over the border.
Mr. O'Reilly returned a call to say: ''I was groping for a term to describe the industry that brings people in here. It was not meant to disparage people in any way.''
Representative Silvestre Reyes, Democrat of Texas, whom Mr. O'Reilly was interviewing when the word slipped out, said in a statement: ''Of course, he didn't intend to say it. But the fact that 'wetback' is a part of his vocabulary and slipped out is a clear sign of where his views fall.''
A Fox spokeswoman said on Friday, ''The network doesn't condone the use of any racial epithet, nor does Bill.''
As for Vanity Fair, it will soon print Ms. Hayek's letter, which ends with advice for the advice columnist.
''Start talking to the help and the leaf blowers,'' she said. ''It seems to me they have a lot to teach you.'' DAVID CARRContinue reading the main story

You are browsing the Symfony 4 documentation, which changes significantly from Symfony 3.x. If your app doesn't use Symfony 4 yet, browse the Symfony 3.4 documentation.
The BrowserKit Component
The BrowserKit Component¶
The BrowserKit component simulates the behavior of a web browser, allowing you to make requests, click on links and submit forms programmatically.
The BrowserKit component can only make internal requests to your application. If you need to make requests to external sites and applications, consider using Goutte, a simple web scraper based on Symfony Components.
$ composer require symfony/browser-kit
Alternatively, you can clone the https://github.com/symfony/browser-kit repository.
If you install this component outside of a Symfony application, you must
require the
vendor/autoload.php file in your code to enable the class
autoloading mechanism provided by Composer. Read
this article for more details.
Basic Usage¶
Creating a Client¶
The component only provides an abstract client and does not provide any backend ready to use for the HTTP layer.
To create your own client, you must extend the abstract
Client class and
implement the
doRequest() method.
This method accepts a request and should return a response:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
namespace Acme;
use Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Client as BaseClient;
use Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Response;
class Client extends BaseClient
protected function doRequest($request)
// ... convert request into a response
return new Response($content, $status, $headers);
For a simple implementation of a browser based on the HTTP layer, have a look
at Goutte. For an implementation based on
HttpKernelInterface, have
a look at the
Client provided by
the HttpKernel component.
Making Requests¶
Use the
request() method to
make HTTP requests. The first two arguments are the HTTP method and the requested
use Acme\Client;
$client = new Client();
$crawler = $client->request('GET', '/');
The value returned by the
request() method is an instance of the
Crawler class, provided by the
DomCrawler component, which allows accessing
and traversing HTML elements programmatically.
xmlHttpRequest() method,
which defines the same arguments as the
request() method, is a shortcut to
make AJAX requests:
1 2 3 4 5
use Acme\Client;
$client = new Client();
// the required HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH header is added automatically
$crawler = $client->xmlHttpRequest('GET', '/');
New in version 4.1: The
xmlHttpRequest() method was introduced in Symfony 4.1.
Clicking Links¶
Client object is capable of simulating link clicks. Pass the text
content of the link and the client will perform the needed HTTP GET request to
simulate the link click:
1 2 3 4 5 6
use Acme\Client;
$client = new Client();
$client->request('GET', '/product/123');
$crawler = $client->clickLink('Go elsewhere...');
New in version 4.2: The
clickLink() method was introduced in Symfony 4.2.
If you need the
Link object that
provides access to the link properties (e.g.
$link->getUri()), use this other method:
// ... $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/product/123'); $link = $crawler->selectLink('Go elsewhere...')->link(); $client->click($link);
Submitting Forms¶
Client object is also capable of submitting forms. First, select the
form using any of its buttons and then override any of its properties (method,
field values, etc.) before submitting it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
use Acme\Client;
$client = new Client();
$crawler = $client->request('GET', 'https://github.com/login');
// find the form with the 'Log in' button and submit it
// 'Log in' can be the text content, id, value or name of a <button> or <input type="submit">
$client->submitForm('Log in');
// the second optional argument lets you override the default form field values
$client->submitForm('Log in', array(
'login' => 'my_user',
'password' => 'my_pass',
// to upload a file, the value must be the absolute file path
'file' => __FILE__,
// you can override other form options too
'Log in',
array('login' => 'my_user', 'password' => 'my_pass'),
// override the default form HTTP method
// override some $_SERVER parameters (e.g. HTTP headers)
array('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE' => 'es')
New in version 4.2: The
submitForm() method was introduced in Symfony 4.2.
If you need the
Form object that
provides access to the form properties (e.g.
$form->getFields()), use this other method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
// ...
// select the form and fill in some values
$form = $crawler->selectButton('Log in')->form();
$form['login'] = 'symfonyfan';
$form['password'] = 'anypass';
// submit that form
$crawler = $client->submit($form);
The client stores all your requests allowing you to go back and forward in your history:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
use Acme\Client;
$client = new Client();
$client->request('GET', '/');
// select and click on a link
$link = $crawler->selectLink('Documentation')->link();
// go back to home page
$crawler = $client->back();
// go forward to documentation page
$crawler = $client->forward();
You can delete the client's history with the
restart() method. This will
also delete all the cookies:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
use Acme\Client;
$client = new Client();
$client->request('GET', '/');
// reset the client (history and cookies are cleared too)

In another bit of encouraging PS Vita news, it seems that Sony is looking into a way to transfer over your collection of UMDs onto their shiny new handheld.
At a Sony sales briefing, Sony Computer Entertainment development head Yoshio Matsumoto alluded to a system that would allow for the download of UMD titles at a "special" price. A retailer at the same event also mentioned that Sony will announce something that will allow for the play of UMDs on a Vita, though it's unclear if it's the same as what Matsumoto was talking about.
This doesn't sound too different from when Sony said that they were looking for a way to transfer you UMDs to the PSP Go a couple of years ago, but here's hoping that they're not just blowing smoke this time.
