HILLSDALE Ś After 10 years of serving Hillsdale County as a Commissioner, Parke Hayes resigned at the end of TuesdayÆs meeting.
Hayes said he resigned because of health reasons.
Hayes has been in and out of the hospital for the past year battling health issues.
Hayes has been a member of the board, serving District 1, since 2003 when he was appointed to the seat. Since then he has been re-elected in each election. During the 2012 general election Hayes ran uncontested.
ōIt has been a pleasure and honor to serve with you,ö said Brad Benzing, commissioner.
To close the meeting Chairman John Burtka, the board and those in attendance gave Hayes a standing ovation for his service to the county.
ōI want to thank you for the opportunity to serve,ö Hayes said.
Hayes went on to say although he is leaving the board, it doesnÆt mean he is going away.
Burtka said after Commissioner HayesÆ official letter of resignation is approved by the commissioners at the next meeting, the search for a replacement will begin.
Applicationswill be taken for the position from residents living in District 1. Commissioners will thenĀchoose one ofĀthose candidates. The appointed representative will fill out Hayes' term through December 2014.
Burtka said the process of choosing a replacement will be an open one.
Hayes currently serves as president of the Hillsdale County Intermediate School District Board. Hayes didnÆt say whether or not he was resigning from the ISD board. He has served on the ISD board since 1977.

Come, unbutton here.
—King Lear, III.iv
Now a little fire in a wild field. Winter.
Shall we the fire, now a waltz. Now the piano
on Pillicock hill, and shall we come calling,
calling, Look what we've brought to burn.
Now a little wind in the white snag, fallen.
Shall we the tall grass. Shall we the birds.
Shall we the flight, the fury and the snake
skins, gun shells, owl pellets, bones. The field
mice and insects, the hawthorn, the burr oak,
the worms in wet soil, weeds, bits of skin, fur.
Shall we dance faster. Shall we the high keys.
Now the strings. Tom's a-cold. Shall we endure.
Shall we the lendings, the silk cloth, the king's head,
the coxcomb, the nails black with smoke. Shall we
the sound of our love. And shall we come calling,
though we have nothing, calling. Shall we say,
Look what we have left to burn. Now a little fire
in a wild field, winter. Now this. Shall we the poem.

It has been four weeks since my last chemo treatment. Four weeks have passed since the wreck. There has been time during these weeks for reflection, healing, and even anticipation.
In this month my ribs have become less painful, we replaced the Suburban, weathered a tornado less than 20 miles away, steered clear of all hospitals, clinics, and chemo chairs, bought a new horse for Karlie, watched her practice with the Ghostriders, snapped pictures in the bluebonnets, had dinner with Ron, attended a wedding, and lost a dear friend. The gift of NOW has been present in every moment of the chaotic calm that this short treatment vacation has offered. Tiny miracles sandwiched themselves in between bigger miracles. They have painted the picture of a very full and incredible life.
There have been lunches with Katie and weekends together when Karlie comes home. With Chloe, we have visited a wonderland of creativity. Through her eyes, everything is beautiful and exciting and new. The crispness of the morning fading into the warmth of the afternoon has invited picnics, yard work, and quiet walks. We hiked together through the woods one afternoon and as the shade met the sunshine a breathtaking cascade of butterflies surrounded us. Chloe stopped in astonishment, and as a yellow winged beauty landed on her arm, exclaimed, "We have our very own enchanted forest!"
And so we do.....a wondrous escape from the world of cancer; a place to create dreams and capture hope in our own backyard.
Where do you search for hope and embrace your dreams?RELATED POSTS
We find the same delight through the eyes of our grands and greats. Our hopes and dreams are seen in their futures. They keep us going during trying times and chemo blues. Glad you are on the mend.
- Posted by Tom Mast 4/24/12 11:43 PM
This is so-so-so refreshing. Enjoy your enchanted forest. When I went through chemo the good times became saturated with sentiment and I couldn't have been more thankful for the wonderful people around me.
Best of luck with your treatment, Suzanne.

Paris calls for a soundtrack of accordion, glockenspiel and sweet charm.
Maïa Vidal is a worldling with New York, Montreal and Barcelona as her home turfs, but her primarily English-language songs bring about a feeling of the city of lights.
Her music is rich on classic Seine atmosphere. Meanwhile, the singer is not afraid to include a cover of punk idols Rancid whom she has previously paid tribute to on an entire EP.
The well-traveled Parisienne uses accordion, guitar, violin and various toy instuments in her both playful and nostalgic universe.

Can the one child policy solve poverty by making the poor extinct?
Continued existence of families living below the poverty line depend on the eligibility of their bachelorette or bachelor. Since Economic status is a great determinant of eligibility, there is a higher likelihood that those in the bottom of the socio economic pyramid will lose out. Union of families fostering single children also means that all resources will be funneled meaning greater Economic wealth. Single child system also means that those who cannot afford to marry and take care of his or her parents would ultimately have to choose between the two, which means increased incidences for self determined lineage extinction. Another imbalance to consider is the gender disproportion towards men, meaning reproductive opportunities would be limited to those who are able.

Glucose (a type of sugar) is the body's main energy source, and hormones (such as insulin and glucagon) control the level of glucose in the blood. Hyperglycemia occurs when the level of glucose in the blood is higher than it should be.
Although there are other things that can lead to hyperglycemia, the most common cause is diabetes. In diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin or it can't respond normally to the insulin that is made. This causes the level of glucose in the blood to rise, leading to symptoms such as increased urination, extreme thirst, and unexplained weight loss.

NBC sends Donald Trump a warning
The network's entertainment unit says it'll take action if the celebrity businessman 'does things that cross a line.'
As the host of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice," real estate developer Donald Trump walks a fine line between generating buzz -- and viewers -- and creating animosity.
Now, Trump might want to make sure he keeps on the "buzz" side of the equation, with Comcast's (CMCSA) NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt saying the network will take action if he "becomes somehow hurtful and says or does things that cross a line," according to a report in Deadline.com.
Some might say Trump has already stepped over the line: a petition started last year aimed at urging Macy's (M) to sever ties with Trump has gained almost 680,000 signatures.
According to the petition, Trump has "engaged in sexist behavior" and "perpetuated the racially charged birther conspiracy," among its complaints. The same campaign, from the liberal group MoveOn.org, last month hired a mobile billboard reading "Dump Trump" to circle Macy's corporate headquarters.
Macy's has sidestepped the issue, with chief executive Terry Lundgren noting that the perfume, clothing and other merchandise it sells bearing Trump's name "are not representative of any political position," according to the New York Daily News.
So far, it seems Trump is on NBC's good side. The network renewed his show, with "Celebrity Apprentice" returning on March 3 for an all-star edition. (The star power in the newest edition of Trump's long-running show is debatable, relying on competitors from the program's fast five seasons. They include actors Stephen Baldwin and Gary Busey and musicians Dee Snider and Bret Michaels.)
Cracks might be showing in Trump's ratings pull, however. In May, "Celebrity Apprentice" drew the program's lowest-rated finale episode, with only 6.8 million viewers tuning in. That's a far cry from the 12.1 million viewers who watched the show's finale in 2008, when Piers Morgan won the competition.
Despite the flagging ratings, "Celebrity Apprentice" is still a workhorse for NBC -- and Greenblatt adds that the network doesn't think Trump has crossed that line yet.
"He has his political belief system but I really don't think what he's doing in his personal life is going to corrupt what he's doing on the show," Greenblatt said. He spoke at the Television Critics Association tour, held this week in California.
He added, referring to Trump's toying with the idea of running for president in the last election, "We talked him out of running for president, wasn't that good enough?"
More on Money Now
Every once in awhile I take a look at what's on TV. It's unbelievable how much really dumb stuff is being offered. Are we a nation of idiots? We watch things like Trump (not funny, not entertaining, jerk), soap pap, lots of action, guns, assault weapons, people killing people, people yelling at each other, or sniping and on and on it goes!!! How can you stand yourselves. What do you talk about with friends? Any meaningful conversations out there?
Have you asked a close friend how he/she feels? Have you invited a friend for a walk on the beach, in the park, go skiing, etc.
You are really a sorry pack of individuals who seem to not care about anything but yourselves.
Guess again Greenblatt - Trump has crossed the line way too many times.................
Will not watch "Celebrity Apprentice," will not stay at a Trump Hotel, will not buy Trump merchandise at Macy's, will not buy anything from Ivanka Trump (daughter) line of merchandise(jewelry, shoes, handbags), will not buy his 3rd wife's cheap jewelry on QVC, will never play at a Trump golf course, will never watch his beauty pageant that he owns.
It was interesting to see his daughter, Ivanka, make the rounds of talk shows (after the Macy's petition was successful) defending her father's beliefs. She acted as if she would speak to the "people," and that they would obey her! She is clearly delusional.
good grief.....when Donald Trump and Moveon.org are more important to Americans that what our government reps are doing, where we are headed and the future of our kids, we are screwed and hopeless, big time.
the 'fall' is upon us.....most of us are just too stupid to know it.

Highway patrol officers say the bunny was not wearing a helmet and that is against the law in California.
The rabbit said he was on his way to a charity event and the helmet did not fit over his ears. Officers let him off with just a warning.

Despite an injury that took most of his season, Morgan Rielly remains one of the very best prospects in the 2012 entry draft.
- Corey Pronman:"His speed is good with a dangerous top gear and Rielly can be especially impressive from a standstill with his acceleration, four-way mobility, and his elusive quickness. He can also really make things happen on a power play with his footwork and ability to maneuver in tight spaces. Rielly is a very skilled offensive player with plus puck skills and passing ability who can dangle an opponent out of his skates or thread a bullet pass through a tight lane. He creates a lot with his individual ability but much more so with his hockey sense and ability to control the flow. Rielly is very aware of his time and space and rarely seems pressured when making plays. That hockey sense also translates to the other end of the ice as Rielly reads his assignments well, makes a lot of good little plays defensively, and works hard in that aspect."
- Grant McCagg, tsn: Strengths: An elite puck rushing defenceman with creativity, vision and hands. Competitive and decent in his position game, he has good hockey sense and instincts. Strong skater with good mobility. Weaknesses: Not overly big or physical, described by one scout as a '5-11 rover' and will have to continue to refine his defensive play. His knee injury will concern some teams and questions will arise concerning how it may affect his mobility. NHL upside: Offensive skills will intrigue several teams in the Top 20 despite his knee injury and he'll get a solid opportunity to be an offensive defenceman in the NHL.
- Red Line Report:His most impressive talent is his puck control at top speed, which enables him to generate an exceptional number of even-strength chances off his dangerous rushes. Rielly also has phenomenal power-play abilities as either a quarterback or triggerman, and projects as a top power-play threat at the NHL level.Just by showing the mental fortitude to come back and play in those five playoff games, we think Rielly has pushed himself back into the discussion as a potential top-five pick. At RLR, we feel his upside is the best in this year's defense crop, ahead of even fellow WHLers Matt Dumba and Ryan Murray, who are still likely to be selected ahead of him come June because of their more extensive bodies of work and exposure this season.
DESJARDINS NHLE (per 82gp)
- Ryan Murphy 10-21-31
- Cam Fowler 4-21-25
- Morgan Rielly 4-21-25
- Dougie Hamilton 4-17-21
- Brandon Gormley 4-14-18
- Ryan Murray 5-12-17
- Nathan Beaulieu 4-12-16
- Erik Gudbranson 1-13-14
- Rielly played in only 18 games during the regular season so the odds of these numbers properly reflecting his offensive ability are not high. Having said that, I think it is fair to suggest he's among the best offensive defenders in the draft based on his resume and that is reflected here.
- Watching Rielly in the post-season gave one the feeling they were observing something special. A wonderful puck rusher, this kid is probably the most skilled defender in the draft.
- For a team like the Oilers–already boasting some PP dynamite–this fellow might be the player who can transition the puck with authority. Oilers haven't enjoyed that skill since Lubo, although Ryan Whitney can throw bullets to the forwards tape to tape.
- Reports suggest he can actually play defense, so we're not looking at a pure chaos gunslinger.
- Speed.
- If he can play defense as suggested, Rielly comes close to having the complete skill set the Oilers are no doubt looking for in their franchise defender.
- Rielly lacks the size NHL teams look for in their defensemen. He's 6.00, 200.
- Knee injury a concern, although he did come back for the postseason and looked impressive.
- Lacks the edge I believe the Oilers value highly. 2pims this past season in 18 WHL games, 21pims in 65 the previous season.
- I don't think the Oilers would hesitate selecting Rielly but probably like other options more.
- Rielly is a bit of a risk due to the injury but someone is going to get a blue chip defenseman who may be one of the few blue who can impact offensively.
- I hope the Oilers seriously consider this player should they end up trading out of the #1 overall slot. Imagine having this skill set behind the brilliant young forwards on the PP!

" Genre: Rock - Folk Rock / Artist: Joni Mitchell / Audio CD released 1988-03-14 at Warner "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Ladies of the Canyon is the third album by Joni Mitchell and was released in 1970. This is much in the vein of Clouds and Blue and contains several songs that are prettier than snow crystals sparkling in the sun. I haven't listened to any later Joni Mitchell albums so I don't know if she ever branched out and experimented with her music or if I would like that change or not but I do love the flower strewn minimalist floaty cloud hippy aura on her first batch of records. You feel like feeding a bunny rabbit on Bruce Dern's spaceship. I did find though that there was a gloomy piano triumvirate in the middle of this album that was maybe one song too many for me. Half-way through I felt like I needed a bit more air and hazy sunshine. I felt like Joni Mitchell needed to open the blinds a little and space the melodrama out more. Aside from that though Ladies of the Canyon is often amazing. Morning Morgantown is a really pretty song to begin and just has some spare piano music in the background to accompany the singer's particular meditation. Joni Mitchell's voice goes very falsetto and soft to wonderful effect and it's an impossible song to dislike or not feel somewhat lifted by. The lyrics desribe a lazy sunny morning and the author sort of describes all the things she sees and how she feels. Joni Mitchell songs sometimes have a strong element of sadness, reflection and melancholia but this is one to cheer you up and make you feel optimistic and happy. "We'll rise up early, with the sun, To ride the bus while everyone is yawning, And the day is young, In morning Morgantown." For Free finds the singer a bit more baritone and melodramatic, again accompanied by a piano. It's a very restrained and spare piano though obviously. It's not like she has Liberace hammering away in the background in a big silver cape. It's not my favourite song here but it is nice enough.
The song seems to be about the dark side of fame and how it can play hideous tricks on the brain. "Now me I play for fortunes, And those velvet curtain calls, I've got a black limousine, And two gentlemen, Escorting me to the halls, And I play if you have the money, Or if you're a friend to me." Conversation is really good. It's a bit faster than your usual Joni Mitchell fare and features some lovely gentle strumming on the guitar. The melody is very immediate and charming and Joni Mitchell's voice is amazing here and seems to change constantly through the course of the song. She does some great warbling too. The song seems to be all about unrequited love. Her lyrics are sometimes whimsical and abstract but this one seems clear enough. "He comes for conversation, I comfort him sometimes, Comfort and consultation, He knows that's what he'll find." The title song Ladies of the Canyon is similar to Morning Morgantown and another very pretty hippy folksy song. This refers to Laurel Canyon in California which was apparently a thriving centre for musicians and artists in the sixties. "Trina wears her wampum beads, She fills her drawing book with line, Sewing lace on widows' weeds, And filigree on leaf and vine, Vine and leaf are filigree." Very of the era and pleasant. The next song Willy is a bit gloomy to be honest. Bit more melodramatic and earnest rather than floaty lighter than air Joni Mitchell. "Now he wants to run away and hide, He says our love cannot be real, He cannot hear the chapel's pealing silver bells." Not my favourite song on the album. The Arrangement is similar too. Rather downbeat with Joni Mitchell wailing a little bit (Joni Mitchell wailing is not a tremendous assault on the eardrums by anyone else's standards but this doesn't have dreamy enveloping tranquil quality of the very best songs here). "Now he wants to run away and hide, He says our love cannot be real, He cannot hear the chapel's pealing silver bells."
Rainy Night House is another sad reflective song with piano that conjures of an image of gazing out of the window in a trance as the rain bounces off cars and makes puddles in the street, wondering if you should have done something differently. The Priest is a welcome return to hippy trippy Joni Mitchell with some nice strummy (is that a word?) guitars and a very running through a meadow saying hello to bunny rabbits and picking flowers super sixties/seventies atmosphere. "Behind the lash and the circles blue, He looked as only a priest can thru, And his eyes said me and his eyes said you, And my eyes said let us try." I liked this song. Blue Boy is another piano weepie and again rather melodramatic. The emotion does seem heartfelt though with Joni Mitchell's voice appearing very fragile and genuine. Big Yellow Taxi is a song that most people would recognise if it was played to them and the most famous one here. I've no idea what songs were singles off Ladies of the Canyon but if you were releasing this album now then Big Yellow Taxi would be a cast iron certainty to be chosen as the first single for its radio friendly appeal and jaunty atmosphere and style. It's faster than most of the stuff here with poppy guitar and a very catchy hooky chorus. Joni Mitchell sounds different here again - no melodrama or vocal contortions, just singing a very simple and enjoyable song in winning fashion. You know exactly what she means here with the lyrics too. Very universal. "Don't it always seem to go, That you don't know what you've got, Till it's gone, They paved paradise, And put up a parking lot."
Woodstock is not one my favourite songs here but it is pleasant enough and builds in an effective manner. Joni Mitchell is almost speaking rather than singing at the start and then her voice begins to shape itself around the mood generated by the lyrics and the background music (which is of course very spare as usual). This song is a tribute to Woodstock, the little yellow bird in the Charlie Brown and Snoopy comics. Not really. It's a self-explanatory title innit. Does have the wonderful and famous line - "We are stardust, We are golden, And we've got to get ourselves, Back to the garden." The Circle Game ends Ladies of the Canyon on a very folky and hippy note, not entirely unlike Morning Morgantown although not quite as lovely and charming as that song. The Circle Game is about the rites of passage of a boy and really good in its best moments. "Yesterday a child came out to wonder, Caught a dragonfly inside a jar, Fearful when the sky was full of thunder, And tearful at the falling of a star." It's an appropriate way to end the record and brings everything to a satisfying denouement. I didn't quite find Ladies of the Canyon as strong as Blue or Clouds but it's only a fraction behind those other early albums and contains some songs that are the equal of anything on them. Morning Morgantown is as pulchritudinous as can be and Big Yellow Taxi is just as immediate and catchy as the more radio slanted songs on Blue or Clouds. Ladies of the Canyon is a great record though for the vast majority of its running time and abounds with delicate wonder and graceful introspection. Joni Mitchell's voice is again wonderful too of course. At the time of writing you can buy Ladies of the Canyon for about a fiver.
I enjoy listening to most types of music from bubble pop to Goth rock to classical but I especially enjoy folk. I first heard Joni Mitchell when her music was featured in a television drama. The particular music used was quite solemn and emotional and against the backdrop of a dramatic acting scene seemed quite stunning and could even have been the backbone of the scene.
I had heard of Mitchell before but never heard anything beyond her well known hit 'Big Yellow Taxi', which I had never really loved that much. I googled the television show to find out what music had been used in the show, discovered the song was on this album, 'Ladies of the Canyon' (1970), Mitchell's third album, and promptly bought the newly digitally remastered version.
When I first played through the album I thought Mitchell's voice was absolutely adorable. Her range was amazing - she could effortlessly move between high and low notes and she also had a sort of cooky way of pronouncing certain words.
The style of music was somewhat new to me but reminded me of everything I'd ever learned about the peace and free love movements of the sixties. The performances sound so natural and easy that they could be those of a singer who is busking in a festival field somewhere or entertaining on a street corner.
The themes also evoke images of this era and are memorable events of this time arae referenced in songs like 'Woodstock'. The Bohemian lifestyles of the general masses and in particular those of musicians and artists is also a theme running though the album.
The track listing is as follows:
1. Morgantown: This has a child-like innocence about it. Mitchell's view of this little town and the townsfolk is naive and charming. She sees this place as a quiet, heavenly haven where 'stop and go lights' flash in an idle manner and people cruise about in 'rainbow fashions', yawning and stopping to drink tea and lemonade at the local cafe. Morgantown sounds like the ideal town and Mitchell totally relates that.
2. For Free: This song draws into attention Mitchell's celebrity and success and evaluates their meaning. She questions these blessings as if the monetary aspect involved in success might have diminished her art in some way. She holds a light up to a jazz street performer who plays "for free". It is a thought-provoking song and the musical style seems to portray a hint of regret.
3. Conversation: This song has an upbeat feel to it. It is more fast paced than the songs that have gone before and includes quirky vocal punctuations. The song seems to refer to a personal relationship with a man who is already taken!
4. Ladies Of the Canyon: This song really sums up for me that Bohemian lifestyle of the 1960's. Mitchell draws a picture of several woman living in a communal situation and describes their cost-cutting back to nature style lifestyle with wonderful insight. I absolutely love the portrayal of these women who wear second hand coats and gypsy shawls as they bake brownies and collect flowers and herbs.
5. Willy: This song feels focused and a little serious although it was apparantly written as a dedication to Graham Nash. The song is inspirational and the lyrics are very evocative and poetic.
6. The Arrangement: This song is quite sombre and has a darker feel to it. Mitchell draws attention to the consumer lifestyle and rallies against this telling the subject of the song that they "could have been more" than a credit card, a consumer and a name on the door of the thirty-third floor.
7.Rainy Night House: A song that brings to life a night between two friends or lovers. There is a kind of emotional, intellectual intimacy that is portrayed in the song and this is touching and very beautiful.
8. The Priest: This song relates the story of a man and a woman and thier complicated relationship. The lyrics contain references that I often can't understand but which are very intelligent and heartfelt.
9. Blue Boy: A fantastical song which has a adult fairytale feel to it. Whether the lyrics are to be taken literally is another matter but Mitchell refers to the man of the song turning to stone and of having a "granite grace". A woman's love for this idol turns her into the same kind of statue.
10. Big Yellow Taxi: This is a fun song which has since been sampled by Janet Jackson and covered by artists like Amy Grant. It has an upbeat feel to it and Mitchell uses her voice as a tool to translate the comedy of the story. The lyrics of course can relate to environmental issues.
11. Woodstock: This is my favourite track on the album and it definately has a different feel to any of the other songs. It is more poignant and the musical style seems much more sophisticated and structured. The lyrics relate to the Woodstock festival and captures the mood of the collected masses in lines like "I dreamed I saw the bombers riding shotgun in the sky and they were turning into butterflies..." The feeling of this mass movement and the hope they had of making life better is evoked in lines like "I feel to be a cog in something turning...life is for learning". A brilliant portrayal of this historic event.
12. The Circle Game: Another of Mitchell's better known tracks. This song echoes the sense of innocence that was shown in the beginning of the album. The lyrics relate to a child who grows up and the hopes and dreams common in all human beings.
This was my first Joni Mitchell album and it was not my last. I recommend this to anyone interested in hearing genuine, heartfelt folk music.
In her nearly four decades as a musician and lyricist, Joni Mitchell has spanned the fields of folk, pop, rock, and jazz with 23 albums. Her willingness to change direction without warning has frequently left fans upset, but its exactly that free spirit has kept her fresh and allowed her to endure a long and interesting career. Originally from Canada, Joni Mitchell moved to New York City in 1967, and took up residence in the arty Chelsea district. She met Elliot Roberts in the fall and he began to manage her career, helping to open up the circuit for her in New York City. Later while performing at a club in Florida, Joni met ex-Byrds member David Crosby, who was quite taken with her. David was a great help in convincing the record company to agree to let Joni record a solo acoustic album and with that she was on her way. By the time Ladies of the Canyon came out in 1971, Joni Mitchell was becoming a big name, immediately successful on the radio and selling swiftly in the first few months this, her third album, eventually sold half a million copies to make it her first gold album.
So what is it that makes Joni Mitchell such an original and well-respected musical name? Well on this album it's the understated sparseness of the folk sound that she helped to promote coupled with one of the most admired voices of that era, or indeed any era. When you read the list of musicians on the CD's back cover, you realise that what you are going to get is by and large Mitchell herself with very little in the way of a band. Thirty odd years on, in world of over production and fashion statement bands, it's refreshing to be reacquainted with a real musician delivering songs that are forged very much from her own abilities. There are not many artists today who would be brave enough to record with the emptiness that this album brings, and fewer still who would pull it off successfully.
Opening with just a gentle picked guitar progression, her striking voice is not far behind it and that mesmerising simplicity that she possessed holds you for the duration of "Morning Morgantown." Occasionally a laid back piano joins in and the choruses are treated to a minimal percussion affect, but the song really captures what Joni Mitchell was about and you feel that if you saw here perform this live it would sound much the same. "For Free" is a piano led ballad telling of a busker whose music she hears one day. She compares their relative lifestyles, hers, all limousines and album sales, his playing for the chance to buy the next meal, though both musicians as valid as each other, separated only by a lucky break, which most never get. A clarinet is the only addition to this musical tale supplying a cool jazz ending just to wake you out of the hypnotic saga being unfolded here.
Back on to the guitar for "Conversation" it opens reminiscent of one of her more famous numbers that follows on this album. Her voice is working at its characteristic higher register, a much copied but never bettered vocal style. It is on songs such as this that you can see the influences that left their mark in the work of later artists, particularly Suzanne Vega and to a lesser degree Tracy Chapmen. Again tailing off to a mix of woodwind sounds and an up-tempo play out, it provides a nice contrast to the title track to follow.
A very folk style, a mellow mix of resonant twelve-string guitar, clear voice and layered vocal choruses. Although all of the songs feature mainly only Mitchell herself, her ability to make them all sound very different using only a limited range of musical building blocks is a masterful art. No gimmicks, no complex arrangements and no massive cast of session extras, just a solo artist at the top of her game.
The next two songs," Willy" and "The Arrangement" are minimal piano-accompanied songs, centred on a regular topic in Mitchell's work, relationships. Always keeping the details fairly vague and anonymous, as she does, allows us to relate to the themes, sort of fill in your own nouns in the relevant places. "Rainy Night House" continues in a similar fashion and although the style is familiar there is a real sense of emotion in this song, not there it was in anyway lacking before, but there seems to be a real flood of from the heart beauty in this song. I still can work out if the song is of a positive or negative nature but it is probably enough to let the song and its single room drama wash over the listener.
Two more songs "The Priest" and "Blue Boy" follow on guitar and piano respectively before the wistful and slightly sad ballads clear to reveal what is probably Mitchell's most recognisable song. The up beat guitar riff is instantly recognisable and by the time you reach the chorus of "Big Yellow Taxi" you will be singing the chorus with her. A warning to keeping hold of the things that really matter this is a short and snappy song that clears the atmosphere generated by the ballads that preceded it.The ethereal "Woodstock" follows, another much covered song and as the piano opening gives way to Mitchell's voice the spirit of a time long gone hangs in the air. Almost an a capella arrangement the song is formed just by the glorious tones of the vocal delivery, the piano almost acting only to add a beat to the song. As if in contrast the richer full tones of "The Circle Game" round off the album, layers of chorus vocals and a lush guitar melody follow a young boys journey to manhood through the revolving seasons.
As an introduction to Joni Mitchell's work, especially if her earlier folk days that launched her appeal to you, this is a good place to begin your acquaintance with her work. A laid back album that falls into the category of mood music, but a collection of great songs and wonderful tales from the world as she has seen it. It is almost a snap shot of the attitude that sums up the late sixties and early seventies when many were trying to create a mellower and more gentle society, they may not have succeeded but this album is justification enough of their efforts.

Great product at a great price.
Haven't fired any of these yet but 28 gauge are fairly hard to come by and these seemed to be an excellent value.
Great price on shells cannot come close on the price locally.
used them for trap, work great.
I was very pleased to find the same ammunition that I have always used for my 28 gauge shotgun. I prefer to use one kind of shell, I guess due to my superstitions!
Cannot beat the price for these shells.

When you create a site in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, you get a good-looking, useful Web site, right out of the box. However, if you are a member of the Web Designer or Administrator site groups, you can customize your site, changing its appearance and adding functionality without using other applications or doing any programming.
This tutorial, and its companion tutorial, Customizing a SharePoint site in your Web Browser, Part 2, teaches you how to customize your site by using built-in features of Windows Sharepoint Services that you use in a Web browser. By taking these tutorials you will learn how to modify your site's appearance by applying a new theme. You will learn how to use Web Parts—the basic building blocks of the pages in SharePoint sites—to customize your home page. After you have practiced using Web Parts in this first tutorial, you will step up to a more complex task in the second tutorial, building a new Web Part Page that displays data.
Imagine that you are setting up a site for your team at your company, Contoso, Ltd. You want to change the home page of the site to reflect your team's priorities. The default layout isn't quite right for your team, so you decide to rearrange the items on the page, removing some and adding others. Also, you decide to replace the graphic on the home page with one that represents your company.
After completing part one of this two-part tutorial, you will know how to:
Although you can do the exercises in these tutorials by using your current SharePoint site, we recommend that you first create a practice team site for these exercises. If you don't have a server running Windows SharePoint Services available and have Internet access, you can sign up for a hosted Windows SharePoint Services trial.
Note You can create a subsite under the current site if you are a member of the Administrator site group. If you are not a member of the Administrator site group, ask the site administrator to create a subsite for you. Make sure you are a member of the Web Designer or Administrator site group in the new subsite.
Note The first part of the address is provided for you.
The sample data that you will need to complete these tutorials includes two Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and an image. Next you will download these files.
Now that you have set up a site and downloaded the files you need, it's time to start customizing your site!
A theme is a unified set of design elements that influence the fonts and color scheme of your SharePoint site. Changing your site's theme is an easy way to customize your site to fit your team's personality.
A preview of the theme appears.
The home page of your SharePoint site is your site's "front door," and it can highlight important site information that you want all site users to see. The home page is a Web Part Page, which is made up of Web Part zones—containers that are used for layout and to group and organize Web Parts on the page. Web Parts are the basic building blocks of the page, displaying data, such as SharePoint lists, and providing commands to manipulate the data and configure the Web Part. By using Web Parts you can customize your home page to suit your team's information needs.
The default home page of your team site contains Web Parts that display the contents of the Announcements, Events, and Links lists, in addition to a space for a site image. For your team's site, you want to move Web Parts around to make room for a Web Part that displays your team's main document library.
In this section of the tutorial, you will learn some basic techniques for customizing your SharePoint site using Web Parts. In the second part of this tutorial, Customizing a SharePoint site in your Web Browser, Part 2, you will build on this knowledge and create a new Web Part Page that takes sample list data that you import and builds a useful, interactive Web page.
The view of the Home page transforms so that you can see the page's design. Notice that the page contains two Web Part zones, labeled "Left" and "Right."
The Events Web Part tool pane opens. You use the Web Part tool pane, which is available for all Web Parts, to configure a Web Part's unique properties and to choose general settings that control the Web Part's layout and appearance. For this exercise, you will move the Events Web Part from the Left Web Part zone to the bottom of the Right Web Part zone.
This specifies that the Events Web Part should be displayed in the Right Web Part zone on the page.
You can also move Web Parts by dragging them to new locations when you are in the design view of the page.
The Events Web Part and the Links Web Part are List View Web Parts. Each built-in list and library in a SharePoint site—including the Shared Documents document library—and each new list or library that you create has a corresponding List View Web Part to display the list's data. It's important for everyone on your team to have quick access to the team's documents, so you want to add the Shared Documents Web Part to the home page.
The Add Web Parts tool pane opens. This tool pane contains all the Web Part galleries that are available to you. A Web Part gallery is a central warehouse of Web Parts that you use to locate a specific Web Part when you are designing a Web Part Page. For this exercise you will insert a list from the site Web Part gallery. This is often the most central Web Part gallery for your work group. By default, its name is the name of the top-level site in your site collection. For example, if the top-level site in your site collection is "My Team Site," the site collection Web Part gallery available to you will be named "My Team Site Web Part Gallery."
If you do not see the Shared Documents Web Part, click Next until it appears.
You want to replace the default image displayed on the home page (the Windows SharePoint Services logo) with an image related to your Contoso company's identity. The first step is to import the new image into your Web site.
The Site Image Tool Pane opens. You can use this tool pane to customize the Site Image Web Part.
Note If new new logo does not appear, try repeating the steps in this section, but type %20 for each space in the Web address, such as http://MyServer/MySite/Tutorial/Shared%20Documents/Contoso.gif .
Congratulations on completing Customizing a SharePoint site in your Web Browser, Part 1! Now that you have learned the basics of customizing a home page, here are a few suggestions for additional tasks you can try:
If you do not want to complete the second part of this tutorial, you can delete your practice site so that you don't waste your server resources.
Note The example companies, organizations, products, domain names, e-mail addresses, logos, people, places, and events depicted herein are fictitious. No association with any real company, organization, product, domain name, email address, logo, person, places, or events is intended or should be inferred.

TONDO OUTPOST is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alias from Great backpack with rooms for improvement I love this backback. However, it can still be improved. The side access pocket is good to have. But don't take chances of putting anything valuable inside it. Due to the possibility that the zipper may slide down. A hidden pocket somewhere inside would be good to have. Anyway, that is for future thought. As it is, the bag is still outstanding for rough terrains.

Rated 5 out of 5 by staygold from Superb product So glad I bought this backpack! The quality feels tough and the pack is so huge. Love the design just wished there were more compartments for smaller objects and would prefer if there were more padding along the straps. But in the end, I am really satisfied.

RIPON, WI (WTAQ) - A student at Ripon College is charged with videotaping women in the shower of a dorm on campus.
19-year-old Demetrious Moll told investigators he videotaped and took pictures of female students on a number of different occasions, according to a criminal complaint.
Police say they reviewed Moll's computer and found 17 files, "which appeared to show inappropriate activity which includes videos of females showering."
Moll told investigators his activity allegedly began in the fall of 2012 and lasted through January of this year.
Moll will be in Fond du Lac County court on Friday for a preliminary hearing.

I realize that what I'm suggesting might not get a rave review in some conservative circles, but we need to give up the "Cold War" attitude and look to a different future.
They have a tin ear. Obvious opportunities to increase jobs in our weak economy have been ignored. The ag industry and, in fact, all of our export companies have been complaining that President Obama hasn't been doing anything to increase our exports – other than talk about it. He did predict that he would double exports in the next 5 years. The Washington Post called Ron Kirk, our U.S. Trade Ambassador, "the most underemployed man in Washington."

Florida Gulf Coast, once "Dunk City," looked straight out of Layupville Saturday afternoon at FIU. Once last year's Sweet Sixteen team got its offense going in the second half, the Panthers looked on the verge of extinction.
Then, in the final 7:21, FIU went from bewildered to precognitive on defense, stagnant to aggressive on offense and gave a raucous U.S. Century Bank Arena crowd a 72-61 comeback victory.
Senior forward Tymell Murphy's game-high 23 points for FIU (8-4) included 10 of 10 free throw shooting. Senior guard Dennis Mavin added 19. Less important than fifth-year senior Rakeem Buckles' 11 points were his 13 rebounds, 10 of which were on the defensive end, seven of which came in the second half.
Brett Comer and Chase Fieler each had 14 points for Gulf Coast (4-4). Jamail Jones came down with 10 rebounds.
In a game of dunks and and-one buckets off reckless drives, the most mundane of basketball skills proved as important as it often does. FIU, a 67.6 percent free throw shooting team coming into the game, shot 22 of 25 (88 percent) from the line. Gulf Coast went five of 12 (41.7 percent).
After three-pointers on consecutive possessions by freshman Jason Boswell and junior Marco Porcher-Jimenez gave FIU a 44-38 lead with 13:52 left, the Panthers started standing around. Their only field goals for the next 10 minutes came off Dennis Mavin and Jerome Frink cleaning up the garbage after Rakeem Buckles got stripped inside.
But the Panthers found offense after rediscovering defense. Gulf Coast guard Brett Comer circumnavigated FIU's defense for layups and short jumpers, scoring six consecutive points in an 11-0 Gulf Coast run that swung the game from 46-40, FIU to 51-46, Gulf Coast. Comer made one of two free throws to put Gulf Coast up 56-48 with 7:21 left.
"It was a better understanding of what our opponent was trying to do to us," FIU coach Anthony Evans said. "They were trying to drive the ball to the basket and we weren't coming over and helping much. We were trying to clog lanes toward the end rather than playing shooters. Once we did that, they had trouble getting into the lane. Then, when they tried to kick out, we were getting deflections."
FIU then took its turn. After limiting Gulf Coast to one, challenged shot on each of the next two possessions, the Panthers allowed Gulf Coast a two-shot possession – only because Murphy swatted Comer's layup attempt into the student section at cannonball speed.
The joint exploded. From there, reciprocity ruled – the Panthers fed off the crowd, which fed off the Panthers, which fed off the crowd...etc.
Murphy and Buckles both nodded afterwards when the atmosphere was mentioned. Murphy thought the crowd might've affected Gulf Coast's free throw shooting.
Gulf Coast's Jamail Jones could've calmed things down with a wide open dunk. He blew it and Dennis Mavin went coast to coast with the rebound: 56-54. Murphy stole a perimeter pass from Filip Cvjecticanin and went the distance for a scoop hoop while drawing a foul on Cvjecticanin. Murphy's free throw put FIU ahead 57-56.
Comer and Mavin exchanged driving layups. Murphy and Buckles trapped Jones on the baseline and Murphy solved Jones problem by relieving him of the ball. Fouled in transition, Murphy hit both free throws. Following another Cvjecticanin miss (he really had a bad day) from three-point range, Murphy rumbled through for another basket-and-foul three-point play.
The 64-58 lead survived a Bernard Thompson trip to the line – two misses. So, when Jerome Frink put back a Boswell missed layup, FIU was in the free throw clubhouse, up 66-58 with 1:22 remaining.
