Should Barbara Walters have asked Gov. Chris Christie about his weight?
ABC's Barbara Walters created a bit of a stir when she asked New Jersey's Governor (and U.D. grad) Chris Christie about his weight.
I could argue either side of the relevance of such a question: Stick to the issues, it's very personal - or - if Governor Christie truly aspires to the Presidency, the governor's girth is relevant given obesity's role in potential heart disease; cancers; obesity, etc.
(Although I don't recall an extended public debate about former Vice President Cheney's persistent heart problems, despite a LACK of heft!)
But isn't there a double-standard here? What if a male news anchor/interviewer asked a female politician about her weight? To my knowledge, it never happened here in Delaware with Governor Ruth Ann Minner, nor in Maryland with Senator Barbara Mikulski. Come to think of it, we've had comparatively FEWER plus-sized, female politicians who've become governors, senators, etc. Although few nationally prominent male politicians could match Governor Christie's physique! (In U.S. history though, President - and later U.S. Chief Justice - William Howard Taft. It has been reported when President Taft was vacationing in Cape May, New Jersey, irreverent reporters put up a sign reading, "No swimming -- President Taft is using the Atlantic." Grover Cleveland, the one president to serve non-consecutive terms, was the second heaviest President, and arguably our least healthy President: A penchant for rich food and alcohol, plus cigars, which probably led to carcinoma at the roof of his mouth. In those days, surgery could be performed in secret. Like Christie, Cleveland was born in New Jersey.)
Here's the British newspaper DAILY MAIL's treatment of the Barbara Walters/Chris Christie exchange, plus you can access the video at the bottom...

Come on Allan, "Political Correctness" protects minorities and women from being asked embarrassing questions like that. The European male is fair game. Don't mean to be so cynical, but let's face it, reporters walk on eggshells around Obama, because if you cross over the line, then you're branded a racist. Look at the news story about the white blond tennis player who did a prank on her personal friend Serena Williams, who is black.

Mike from Delaware... If and when political correctness means equal treatment, courtesy, respect, and civility, I'm all for it. When it stops people from asking legitimate, relevant questions, I'm against it.
I can see how the tennis "prank" you refer to could have been offensive not only to African-American women, but to women generally. I think we're comparing apples and oranges. Completely different context.
I do admit to a prejudice against Barbara Walters. I've just never understood her appeal.

This is award-winning, hard-hitting journalism at its best. While you're at it, Baba Wawa, ask Christie what's his favorite type of pizza.
The most interesting part of this, is that Christie has never said he's running for president. In fact, he even held a press conference to say he WASN'T interested in running for president. So there goes the argument that his weight is a relevant issue.
Must be a slow news day.

Allan: That's my point. I have no problem with Walters asking Gov. Christie about his weight, because I believe if he runs for Prez it will be an issue, but if he were a minority or a woman, that question or any other question about his person would be off limits. The double standard is what I dislike.
If Christie were black and Walters asked that same question, my guess is based on the past, someone would be raising a stink and call her a racist. THAT's the crap that needs to end. A reporter should be able to ask the same questions to any political candidate.
I agree the tennis prank could be offensive to all women, but naturally Whoppie Goldberg made it racial. I'm so darn tired of that. They do that so much that when a real racial offense happens, who cares, its lost its punch and offensiveness, because if a white person looks at a minority the wrong way its automatically called racist.
So IF Serena Williams did some mocking thing about her friends Ms. Wozniack, would there have been an issue of it being racial? I think not.
The bigger problem with this Allan is in schools or the work place. A white teacher or employer has to really walk on egg shells when dealing with minority students or employees lest they be called a racist (that can kill a career) and have Al Sharpton protesting out in front of their building.
Black teachers and employers don't have that same pressure, who's going to have national TV cameras outside of their workplace? There's no white Al Sharpton. What happened to free speech? If I tell a black guy he's an idiot I'm a racist. If he says I'm an idiot he's only expressing his opinion. There's something very wrong with that. That's my point.
It's also why the achievement gap isn't closing in schools between minority students and white/Asian students. Its far easier and better for a teacher's career to just pass the minority student who'd not learning the work, than to fail that child and get called a racist. So the minority student is hurt even worse due to political correctness. So the kid doesn't get his/her feelings hurt in school and simply gets passed on to the next grade, but then his/her diploma isn't worth the paper its printed on, because that child never had to actually learn anything. How tragic that is for these kids.
Its time we get past this stuff. Sure if you call a black the "N" word that is offensive and probably is racist. If the black guy calls the white guy some name like Wop, Mick, etc, yes that too is offensive and probably is racist too, but even then would the black be accused of being a racist? Probably not.
The double standard is my point. IF saying something that could be taken as a racial slur is wrong for one group, it should be wrong for all groups. THAT is my point, but that's NOT where America is today. We are 180 degrees opposite of how it was back in 1950 where whites could say anything and blacks had to walk on egg shells. Somehow we've got to move the compass 90, not 180 degrees, so that its wrong for both sides to say racist things, because until we do, we'll never solve the racial problem in America. THAT's my point.

Let us not forget that we once had a BIG FAT president, William Howard Taft, who kept getting stuck in the bathtub!
Also, we had a president with heart disease, Lyndon Johnson.
In fact, he had his first heart attack in 1955, five years before running on the Kennedy ticket in 1960. Now it is possible, based on how things were kept secret back then, that his heart trouble may not have been publicly known until after his death or after leaving office. In any event, LBJ died with heart attack #4, four years after stating "I will not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president."
Yeah, we're more health conscious now, supposedly. But one of the reasons you have a vice president is for a back-up in case the president, God forbid, dies.

Has the best Syrian shawerma in town! I usually order take out from the car, the waiters are always friendly and quick, and occasionally offer free lentil soup while waiting for your order as a way of hospitality, which is delicious. Along with their great beef shawerma and fresh Syrian bread, their haloumi cheese sandwich and their French fries sandwich are excellent!

El Paso – The P.T.A. and some community members on the west side of El Paso are making their goal of building a school playground at the Lundy Elementary school a reality.
The P.T.A. had been working to raise money for a playground for 2nd through 5th graders, since before the school opened, in March 2010. Through contributors and sales from catalogs, t-shirts and cookie dough, they managed to get over $49,000 for the project.
Madra Belmont is a secretary for the P.T.A., and she said the playground is necessary for the well-being of the students. "Kids need to play...there have been many studies that have shown benefits of play from not only a physical standpoint...but also there are cognitive, social, and emotional benefits..."
Tomorrow, over 200 volunteers are going to the elementary school to help build the playground. They are hoping to have it finished, by this weekend.

I guess if you're hiding and/or transporting crack, it's just good practice to keep it in a safe place. A man's penis is usually a safe place… Depending on his location, time of year and time of day.
But, if your stabbed and they are like. "We need to treat your wound!" and you're like, "Don't check my wiener!" they may get suspicious.
A man is facing felony drug charges after he was stabbed in Allentown and officials discovered drugs tied to his body, according to police.
Assistant Chief Joe Hanna said the stabbing occurred around 3:30am Saturday in the 300 block of Ridge Avenue.
Police said Leevon Jermaine Riddick, 25, was stabbed. Officials said Riddick was not very cooperative with police during the investigation.
As the medical staff was treating Riddick, they discovered a baggie filled with an off-white rock like substance later determined to be crack cocaine tied to his genitals, police said. SOURCE: WFMZ.com
It's like they are describing someone's new living room paint job. "It's a very nice mauvish."
If "mauvish" isn't a word, it is now.
Moral of story? Don't tie drugs to your balls and get stabbed at 3:30 in the morning.
The more you know.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said on Monday he was concerned about India's tariff, non-tariff barrier in bilateral trade relations.
Locke's remarks came after a meeting with Indian Trade Minister Anand Sharma.
Despite India's growing global weight, it is only the United States' 14th biggest trading partner and obstacles, from outsourcing controversies to the Doha world trade round and market access, have put the brakes on faster integration.

As soon as I tapped my way into MLB At Bat for the Mariners game last night, I couldn't help but notice an ad on the splash page, and other ads on screen on the Game Day desktop.
Until now this innovative iPad app had been ad free, and at U.S. $14.99 a year, that made sense. Major League Baseball isn't exactly going to the poor house, with 6.6 billion dollars in revenues last year. MLB has the right to insert ads in the app, but it seems like a small breach of faith to users.There's more. If you already had the MLB iPhone app, you pay again for the iPad version. And so it goes. A nickel here, a dime there.
We've heard this song before. Premium apps that start ad-free, and then sneak in the ads once they build up a following. Another example is the CNN app, which is $1.99, and includes ads. Some people resent paying for the ads, others don't care.
What's your take? Do the ads on At Bat bother you, or are they no big deal? Do you want the option to buy a premium app with no ads?

Glenn Beck: "I Think I Played A Role, Unfortunately, In Helping Tear The Country Apart"
The Blaze mogul told Megyn Kelly he regrets that his language wasn't more "uniting" during his days at Fox News.
During his appearance on Fox News' The Kelly File, Glenn Beck reflected on his hugely successful heyday at the network, telling Megyn Kelly that he regretted his on-air behavior.
"I remember it as an awful lot of fun and that I made an awful lot of mistakes, and I wish I could go back and be more uniting in my language," Beck said. "I think I played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart."
"I didn't realize how really fragile the people were. I thought we were kind of more in it together."

Healing Abortion's Guilt and Grief
- Friday, January 04, 2013
Editor's note: This article is Part 1 of a 3-Part series on healing from pregnancy loss. Today's author, Kim Ketola, writes on the guilt and grief after abortion.
There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It was just another box of old belongings to be sorted for our cross-country move. But the brightly colored cloth journal caught my eye and caused my heart to skip a beat. With equal anticipation and dread I sat down and thumbed through pages written over thirty years earlier.
Had I saved the receipt?
Yes, there it was.
Dated June 16, 1978, the yellowed 3 x 5 carbon noted my name and address, the name and location of the abortion facility, and a fee of $165.00 marked paid in full, in cash.
I cried softly as I read these facts I'd buried but not laid to rest so many years ago.
This January marks the 40th Anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision making abortion legal for any reason. But the date may go largely unmarked by those abortion has impacted the most—the millions of women who chose it. One in three women of childbearing age has had at least one abortion. Yet we all feel alone as we wonder what might have been. We miss the children we thought we did not want but now wish we could have known and loved. Our hearts long to be forgiven but seldom sense it is so.
This is the ache of parental grief after abortion.
Counselor Teri Reisser told me, "Awareness of the need to grieve the loss of an aborted child is almost nonexistent in our culture." I found this to be true as I've researched the need for healing the spiritual wounds of abortion. Perhaps, because women choose abortion, Reisser says, "They do not feel they have any right to a normal grieving process . . . [yet] they do grieve for the lost child."
It would be much easier if everyone around us helped us grieve. Unfortunately, quite the opposite happens. Few people know words of comfort for any type of pregnancy loss. We stumble when we should be the stabilizing support for women who have gone through miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death. We fail to realize how responsible and guilty women may feel as the primary protectors of the life of a child who dies before birth. And in the case of abortion, we are told the new life within us is not even a child. How to grieve and relieve the guilt when we realize we believed a lie?
Jesus knew the life-giving value of grieving after death. He wept with Mary and Martha after Lazarus died, asking, "Where have you laid him?" (John 11:34) He went with them to the tomb—not just to remember, but to demonstrate God's glory. After abortion, he will go with us too. He'll help us find God in the midst of our loss and grief if we'll risk facing the truth.
If instead we continue to believe the lie that there is no child to mourn, we may clutch the sorrow as the only reminder our child had ever existed. At the same time, as any normal parent wanting love from their child, we have this ache. The ache, somewhere deep in our hearts, is for our unborn child. Only there is no outlet, no child present, and none even acknowledged as lost.
In our isolation and shame we think: I can't seem to get over this, so there must be something wrong with me. Guilt and grief compete for our emotions as guilt demands we reject our sin, and grief requires us to accept our loss. I wrestled the pain of these conflicting emotions for twenty-three years until I received God's mercy and accepted that there is truly no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and who live according to the Spirit and not according to the flesh (Romans 8:1). Embracing the reality of redemption starts our healing journey.

The Dallas Mavericks landed former Miami Hurricanes guard Shane Larkin in the first-round of the 2013 NBA Draft. Unfortunately for the Mavs, Larkin suffered an injury during summer league practices that will keep him out for two to three months. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Larkin suffered a broken ankle during the practices.

Shane Larkin, the Dallas Mavericks' 1st-round pick, broke his ankle in summer league practice, sources told Y! Could be out 2-3 months.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 12, 2013
The worst part for Larkin is that the injury could keep him out for the start of the team's training camp, which is a crucial time for an incoming rookie. Larkin could also end up missing preseason games.
The good news for the Mavericks is that they have added Israeli guard Gal Mekel and former Milwaukee Bucks guard Monta Ellis during free agency.
With the injury to Larkin, a number of players will now have a greater opportunity at the Las Vegas Summer League.

New Ricoh GRD IV arrives with sensor-shift stabilization, hybrid AF
After years of waiting, Ricoh has decided to update their GRD prime fixed lens digital camera with the new Mark IV model, the GRD IV! The camera continues with a 10mp 1/1.7" CCD sensor, which perhaps may explain the VGA video and slow burst mode. The main specs are a 28mm f1.9 (35mm equivalent) lens, RAW (DNG), 3-inch mega-dot display, and a LiIon battery with a CIPA estimate of 390 shots. The camera will be available in the usual black, along with a limited edition white body.
Some of the differences between the IV and III include sensor-shift stabilization, hybrid AF, Engine IV, and maximum ISO 3200.

Until I became friends with Mohamed Ghazala, ASIFA International Board member from Egypt, I did not know nearly as much as I should about animation in Africa. I had seen work from Burkina Faso and South Africa and I knew the most prominate names such as The Frenkel Brothers who made the first Egyptian animation over 70 years ago and Moustapha Alassane who is considered the father of African animation but I would have been hard pressed to write about animation activity in that vast continent.
I hope that Animafrik Animation Festival will help to give a higher profile to African Animation. The Festival is seeking to promote art and animation from Africa as well as black animators world wide. They will also host regional film tours throughout the month of October 2009
In co-operation with Alliance Francaise, Accra and ASIFA Egypt, the festival plans to help the African animation industry grow with screenings and workshops. Animafrik will host (in English and French) a children's animation workshop, a 2 day introduction to animation and a round table discussion on "Prospect and Challenges of the Animation Industry in Africa" along with programs on creative use of technology.
The deadline for submitting DVDs is approaching, but there is still time to send your work. Mohamed has assured me that all films will be treated under the strict guidelines set down by ASIFA.
Submission Deadline: August 31, 2009
Send To: Courier: Animafrik Festival
No. 5 Anowa Link
Tesano, Accra, Ghana
Or Mail To: P.O. Box KN 150

Sikhism Today
Not available
moreThis new introduction to Sikhism aims to introduce this increasingly studied religion through the lens of contemporary issues.
Illustrated throughout with examples and case studies taken from lived religion, each chapter attempts to interpret the teachings of Sikhism in a modern context and apply them to modern day scenarios. After an initial chapter providing an overview of the Sikh religion, its history and basic theological tenets, Jagbir Jhutti-Johal moves through key contemporary themes, often overlooked in other introductions: Sikhism and women, diaspora, bioethics, and ethics and morality.
She concludes with a final section looking at the future for Sikhism, its relevance in modern times, and what Sikhism can contribute to society in terms of inter-religious dialogue and harmony between different communities.less

Untrue Resident
June 24, 2013 6:59pm
Unlike La Vernia, nobody runs against these folks and the one's who get elected are related to other political factions (See Ms Rachel Pena, etc). Mess with her and they might try to figure out if you are resident or not. Flo-town is its own little world of nepotism.
I have went to the meetings and I have brought up issues, listened and did nothing. I have even spoke with FISD lawyer. So, Sam I guess you and the folks in La Vernia are just tougher.
As a victim of Flo-town politics, you have to pick and chose your battles. You might have two Floresville cop cars show up while you are out for walk. Happened to me. Has anyone noticed the special parking in front of the Pena's? Sam you don't have the police force or money that Flo-town has running through it.

I didn't tell you about that moment with my cousin I found hilarious(in my head, of course) when we went to see New Years Eve, did I?
Me(answering her previous question): New Years Eve. It's similar to that other holiday film that I didn't see and I forgot the name of.
Leah(her): Oh yeah, I think I remember that, I can't remember what it's called either. Who's in it again?
Me: Well, there's Lea Michele..who plays Rachel in Glee.
But just the flick of her head to look at me when I said Lea's first name. Yeah, it's because it's the same name but still, it's just funny how she turns her head whenever someone says her name when it's obvious I was referencing a different Lea(h).

I've been doing these short stories of Steven Hawking for a few years now, its only recently that ive magde them come to life using Flash. So i assure you these are my own spoof ideas based on popular movies. im am fully aware of who and what Steven Hawkings is. There is no malice intended.
There are more movies to come. The Next one is Rocky Hawkings. this one is longer and funnier.
I welcome all postive feedback.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars July 30, 2001
God. You suck. You know that?
Do us all a favor. Don't submit anymore SHIT. OK?
Rated 1 / 5 stars July 29, 2001
Give poor Stephen Hawking a break. He's only, like, the smartest man on the planet who happens to have a physically debilitating disease and has survived 20 years past his expected live expectancy.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars July 29, 2001
Total Ripoff
I mean Sniggles has a movie on newgrounds starring Steven Hawkins like a week ago, he took it down to edit it, but this is a total ripoff. and it stank
Rated 3 / 5 stars July 29, 2001
Hoping for more...
The graphics are quite pleasing, and the sound is ok, too. Unfortunately the whole storyline isn't too creative and a little bit short also. But still, another try, and we may have a new winner!!! ;-)

Are 'road course ringers' going out of style in NASCAR?
Amanda Vincent is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

Are road course ringers going out of style in NASCAR circles? Maybe over the last several years, NASCAR has developed its own "ringers" from among its regular competitors. Take Jeff Gordon, for instance; he's a five-time winner at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway alone.
While the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide series have raced and are racing at different tracks this weekend, both circucits went/will go road course racing. The Nationwide Series took on Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., on Saturday, and the Sprint Cup Series is expected to race later today (Sunday) in Sonoma.
But where are all the road course ringers fans are used to seeing only a few times a year -- just twice a year when you talk about the Sprint Cup Series? There are a few, or at least there were a few in Saturday's Nationwide race. But only one notable road course specialist's name showed up on the Sprint Cup entry list for this weekend -- Boris Said.
Over the years, road course ringers haven't been all that successful at the Sprint Cup level, anyway. I'm assuming that's partly because the so-called "ringers" aren't used to the cars and partly because its usually "also-rans" a.k.a. "back-markers" that have typically enlisted their services.
Ringers have found success at NASCAR's other national levels, though. Heck, Alex Tagliani came close to winning from behind the wheel of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford in the Nationwide Series race at Road America on Saturday. Weather was in Tagliani's favor that day.
Unlike in the Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR has no trouble directing Nationwide competitors to slap on some rain tires and continue racing when it rains on road courses, at least as long as there's enough rain to make the track wet enough. Those who saw Saturday's Nationwide event know what I'm talking about.
It's not often the series races in the rain. I could be mistaken, but I'm thinking Saturday's race was only the third time, ever, that the Nationwide Series has raced in the rain. So, it's not exactly common. Tagliani has more rain-racing experience, probably, than the rest of yesterday's Nationwide Series race field, put together, I'm suspecting.
Anyway, Tagliani led 19 laps in the last half of Saturday's race that went to 53 laps because of a green-white-checker finish. After running out of fuel, he restarted 21st with two laps to go and wound up finishing second.
Other road course specialists have been successful in the past in NASCAR's second-tier series, but even so, there just weren't as many "ringers" as usual in Saturday's race.
When I think about it, the biggest names among the road course specialists dipping their feet in the NASCAR waters circle are retiring from racing, at least for the most part. Ron Fellows and Patrick Carpentier have both retired.
Jacques Villeneuve is still around, but either wasn't called on by a NASCAR team this weekend or just declined all offers. Most recently, his NASCAR activity came, for the most part, in the Nationwide Series, and he sure didn't make friends there with his aggressive driving. Did anybody want him back? Did he not want to come back? I don't know. Maybe he's devoting more time to his musical career. According to Wikipedia, his 2007 album, the only one mentioned on the site, sold a whopping 836 copies in North America. Maybe he should stick to racing.
Maybe Said is just one of a dying breed of road course specialists willing and in demand to take on NASCAR. Is the "road course ringer" just going out of style? Guess the next generation of road course racers just isn't as interested in NASCAR, or NASCAR isn't as interested in them.

PHOTO: DUI Memorial
Posted On 10 Dec 2012 By Gant Team
Visitors to the eastbound Interstate 80 rest area at Snow Shoe (Exit 147) could view the state's DUI Association's Victims Moving Memorial as part of a western Pennsylvania tour. PennDOT districts in the western portion of the state hosted the memorial through last week, with the final stop in Centre County.
The memorial is housed in a 30-foot trailer, the interior of which is painted with a garden scene. The memorial features the names of more than 2,000 DUI victims. Those names are the same ones honored in the state's DUI Association's Memorial Garden in Harrisburg. The traveling nature of the honorarium allows those who may not be able to travel to Harrisburg to see the memorial.

Ben P "Ben" (Hackney) - See all my reviews
By a stroke of good luck Mr Oldfield was asked to perform at the 2012 Olympics and this release reflects a burst of energy and it certainly comes across that all had a good time making this. It is beautifully reflective in parts; Dreaming in the Wind is particularly good and the upbeat Moonshine is one of Mike's catchiest songs to date. It certainly isn't Tubular Bells and if you liked Moonlight Shadow and those vocal tracks on Discovery, then this may be up your street. Luke Spiller puts in a great performance too.

Andy (UK Wickwar) - See all my reviews
What a huge disappointment. Would i buy and listen to this kind of music if it was not Mike Oldfield? NO i would NOT.
Like other people have said, its dull, boring and quite simplistic. Chris De Burgh can write better songs than this!!! The Instrumental CD is even worse. The only reason i can think this was added was to pull in true Oldfield fans who love his instrumental work because how many other song writers create a 'karaoke' CD, to go with their album.
I can't deny that MO has written some great vocal songs in the distant past but he should stick to doing what he does best. He played Tubular Bells at the opening ceremony for the Olympics not 'Make Make' from 'Heavens Open'
For me i believe, Mike Oldfield, like most talented musicians, have gone through different phases. He has done fantastic music up to and including 'The Killing Fields' then going up and down hill. It would not have been so bad if he had done an album like 'Islands' where it's half vocal half intrumental.
I believe that 'Music of the Spheres' & 'Tubular Bells III' were very good albums but the last decent album was 'The Songs of Distant Earth' For me that album just feels complete, where it all seems to come together. But sadly 'Man on the Rocks' is very distant indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!,
I took a chance and ordered this album on the strength of the single, "Sailing". I must admit, I had my fingers crossed, 'cos I've been caught out before! On this occasion, however, I'm so glad I took a chance. What a cracking album! I should say at this point that I am a 50 something whose favorite era in music is the 70's, particularly rock and pop. If your tastes are similar, you are going to love this album. From the first track, the a fore-mentioned "Sailing", through "Man on the Rocks", "Dreaming in the Wind", "Irene" and "I Give Myself Away", all cracking tracks in their own right! Luke Spiller's vocals are brilliant, Mike Oldfield's guitar playing superb, production overall wonderful. The only thing I can find to criticize - I don't like cardboard CD covers!
Seriously, just buy this album! It's the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge after the first listen,
After the first listen I liked 3 songs and thought the album was garbage. After some subsequential listens, other songs started to grow on me, and after 6 days owning the album, I love it. Don't judge after the first listen, it needs more chance. Great vocal album, Mike, now time for a long complex instrumental on your new Mac Pro! 😃

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back Mike!,
Lee Thomas (South Tyneside, UK) - See all my reviews
5 years after the release of the amazing 'Music Of The Spheres' I thought, as many other fans did, that Mike had released his final album and hung up his guitar for good. Then in 2013 and just after his stellar performance at the 2012 Olympic games opening ceremony he announces a fully vocal rock themed album.
This was not welcome news to some die hard fans, but this album is by no means another 'Earth Moving'
Instead what we have here is 11 tracks, (10 original Oldfield compositions and 1 cover song) featuring some of his finest and most powerful guitar solos ever. The vocals are sung equally as powerful by the wonderful newcomer Luke Spiller from the band 'The Struts' I'd myself hadn't heard of him, but I personally think he is one of the finest singers Mike has ever recorded with. His singing I found is like a mixture of Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger and Bryan Ferry.
The songs on the album range from a happy light feel to a more darker and serious mood, via some beautiful mellow dreamy moments. It is like the vocal equivalent to 'Light And Shade'. A very mixed bag of pop, rock and chill out.
Lighter moments being Sailing, Moonshine, Minutes, Following The Angels and I Give Myself Away.
Darker moments being Man On The Rocks, Castaway, Nuclear, Chariots and Irene
Mellow moments being Dreaming In The Wind.
All 11 songs are well structured and many of them build to a beautiful soaring climax, highlights being the wonderful title track and Castaway.
I personally loved all the songs. But if I had to pick a weakest track, it would certainly be 'Following The Angels', an OK track I thought, but nowhere near as strong as the other 10 songs on the album. Which is ironic as it is about Mike's thoughts and feelings playing at the Olympic opening ceremony, which is what sparked him off recording music again.
As a die hard Mike Oldfield fan, I found the album to be a slight departure from his older albums but Oldfield has always been one to reinvent himself over the years and this album is no exception. I personally don't care if its not a multi-instrumental. If you buy the 2 disc deluxe version, you get the non-vocal instrumental versions on there. These should please fans of his older works as they work and sound really well without the vocals. It actually makes for a whole different listening experience.
I'll conclude with: Man On The Rocks features some of Mike's best songs ever recorded complete with some of his most beautiful and powerfully emotional guitar solos. Luke Spiller is a wonderful singer and I hope Mike hires him again. There is plenty of Mike Oldfield on this album despite it being a vocal album and he features on this one more than he did on the equally wonderful 'Music Of The Spheres'
Man On The Rocks is a welcome return for Mike Oldfield and hopefully the start of a new era of musical output from the great man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone recalls: HEALTH WARNING – This record could be hazardous to the health of cloth-eared...,
This review is from: Man On The Rocks (Audio CD)
... it is not for background music. The more you listen, the more you hear!
Over the years (too many to count yet?) Mike Oldfield has shown the world his musical versatility. He is one of the greatest composers and musicians of the ages.
Over forty years after creating Tubular Bells and a five year pause after his last work The Music Of The Spheres, he now is presenting to us ten new songs plus a cover of a gospel.
For individuals needing categories: it would be rock music. The various songs represent a range of styles that some might feel the need to liken to certain bands (Rolling Stones, U2). Careful listeners however will be treated to music that is unlike anything else in this world. It is uniquely Mike Oldfield; brilliantly composed and finely handcrafted by the cosmic talent.
All he songs feature Mike's wonderful guitar play, in most: building up to a cathartic solo.
As Mike has frequently done before, he again enlists a lead vocalist, Luke Spiller (of the Struts. Do look them up!) to sing the lyrics. As Mike has always done: he picked an awesome singer to complement the music.
Again, some will be compelled to liken Luke to great talents like Freddy Mercury, but the comparison is redundant. Luke Spiller's performance stands on it's own merit.
Last, but not least: There is a "Deluxe" edition of this album that includes a second disc, the instrumental version. The music without the vocals my be targeted for devoted Mike Oldfield friends only but I highly recommend the 2CD option it to anyone. There is nothing wrong with the vocal version, but the music and play are so magical, it's just a pleasure listening to the instrumental version in it's purity.
I will need a second CD rack for my Mike Oldfield collection now and I'm looking forward to filling it in the next forty years!

Known for his incredible ability to compose in a multitude of styles and genres, Oldfield unleashes a powerful new recording of sublime guitar solos, a mixture of rock, blues and even celtic-tinged tracks, all accompanied by The Strut's Luke Spiller, who is able to adapt his vocal style to meet the demands of each style of song. From the opening track, 'Sailing' which is heavily featured on Radio 2's A-List at present and is the carefree and catchy mainstream set-piece, through to some powerful Rock numbers like 'Castaway' with Oldfield's trademark wailing electric guitar, and 'Chariots' with some crunchy guitar and Bluesy Organ chords. My personal highlight is 'Moonshine' a hugely uplifting and gently building track with a terrific prolonged guitar riff that leads us through to the aforementioned Celtic section which breaks through to a gloriously celebratory guitar solo that is unmistakably Oldfield.
In summary, these are 11 brilliantly crafted and produced songs that act as a testimony to fact that Mike Oldfield is one of Britain's most diverse, creative and gifted composers, whether that be of 50-odd minute instrumental works or standard format commercial songs. Here's to another chart hit - and well deserved!

4.0 out of 5 stars Oldfield Rocks,
Mr. D. K. Smith (South Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
Man on the Rocks is Oldfield's first new release for six years and the news that it would be a vocal album caught many people by surprise. Oldfield has written some classic songs over the years ("Moonlight Shadow", "Shadow on the Wall", "To France") but also some less inspired ones - albums such as Earth Moving sounded like a very tired man looking to extract himself from a record contract with maximum speed.
Whilst Man on the Rocks does sometimes highlight the more workmanlike nature of Oldfield's song-writing (lyrics are a little clunky at times, for example) there's still plenty to enjoy here - particularly Oldfield's guitar-playing.
The title track has a stand-out guitar solo from Oldfield which helps to make it one of the highlights of the album, another noteworthy song is "Castaway", a Queen-tinged track that starts slowly but builds nicely and features another quality Oldfield guitar solo.
Whilst the majority of the album is in rock orientated, there's the odd change of pace, such as the gentle "Following the Angels", which provides a good contrast to some of the rock bombast found elsewhere. Luke Spiller of The Struts handles the vocals, he wasn't someone I was previously familiar with, but he commits to the material and does a very good job.
There are a few missteps, opening track "Sailing" is pleasant but not particularly memorable and "Minutes" is rather throwaway, but overall this is a solid album. If you liked Oldfield's song-writing of the 1980's and early 1990's, then the tracks here will appeal as they could have appeared on any of his albums during that period.
Produced by Stephen Lipson and running for just under an hour, Man on the Rocks has plenty for the Oldfield fan to enjoy. And whilst the two-disc set (disc two featuring instrumentals of the disc one songs) might seem a little superfluous, it's the one to go for - as disc two works quite well as an instrumental album in its own right.

Walmart has not had a good record when it comes to LGBT inclusion or treating its employees with respect, but it recently took an important step forward on both fronts. According to the Windy City Times, the store has added gender identity and gender expression to its employee non-discrimination policy. Company spokesperson Phillip Keene said the change was precipitated by a standard review of the policy, not by complaints.

U.K. Measles Threat Menaces U.S.
Nov. 12, 2003 -- A major measles outbreak in England? With vaccination rates dropping across the U.K., it may be only a matter of time.
Measles vaccine is part of the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) combination vaccine. It's extremely safe, agrees every major health agency in the world. But now-refuted claims that the vaccine is linked to autism persist. In the U.K., that's led to a drop in MMR coverage to 82% from a high of 92% in 1995-1996.
A 90% coverage rate ensures that outbreaks will quickly burn themselves out. The U.K.'s low MMR vaccination rate means that a single case of measles could explode into a major outbreak, says Steve Cochi, MD, MPH, deputy director of the CDC's National Immunization Program.
"Formerly, a case of measles imported into the U.K. was like throwing a match into a wet forest," Cochi tells WebMD. "Now it's like throwing a match into California."
The Criticality Threshold
A vaccine coverage rate above 80% seems pretty high. But that's just a national average. It means that two in 10 people are vulnerable to this highly infectious disease. And it suggests that there must be many pockets of unprotected people. In some areas of London, MMR coverage has dropped to 64%.
The key is something called the reproductive number, says Vincent A.A. Jansen, PhD, a professor at Royal Holloway University of London.
"The reproductive number is the typical number of cases an infected individual would cause," Jansen tells WebMD. "If it's less than 1, the outbreak would fizzle out. If it is greater than 1, the epidemic can take off. So 1 is the threshold of criticality."
The U.K. is now close to that threshold. It's climbed from 0.47 in 1998 to 0.82 in 2002. At that rate, England will soon cross the threshold of criticality.
Could It Happen Here?
Even at 91%, the U.S. measles vaccination rate isn't as high as experts would like. Especially if there's an epidemic in England, imported cases could cause relatively large outbreaks in some areas. Across the nation, however, more than nine in 10 2-year-olds have had their first dose of measles vaccine, making a large U.S. outbreak extremely unlikely.
Who's at risk? Pockets of unvaccinated children and adults can be found in various parts of the U.S. And some areas are well under the 90% protection threshold, according to 2002 figures:
- Arizona (excluding Phoenix) has 84.8% MMR coverage.
- Houston has 84.7% MMR coverage.
- Montana has 85.3% MMR coverage.
- Oklahoma has 86.4% MMR coverage.
- Oregon has 86.6% MMR coverage.
- Idaho has 86.9% MMR coverage.
- Other states under 90% MMR coverage: Alaska, California (outside Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Clara), Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

Color, humor, texture and my quixotic attempt at understanding the frantic
self important culture I find myself in are the components of my art. Working
in a wide variety of media including assemblage, painting, sculpture, film,
music and installation, my pieces are explorations of materials, techniques
and the inherent ironies of life.
I collect and reconstruct the discarded refuse of our throwaway society,
abstracting familiar objects into an often expansive scale. These once "needed"
or "desired" objects, now cast away, send me on a journey of memory,
nostalgia, or visceral reactions which lead me to a dreamscape that I hope
others can connect to. For me each piece speaks to a spontaneous and unique
