I have been told that Jazz is the only American art form. Honestly I have no clue what that means. But for me jazz is a lifestyle, a cultural experience that grew out of Black Intellectualism & spirituality.
Quality jazz music is not just notes on a page or some complex theory. Real jazz music reflects the soul of the musician. When jazz was in it's infancy it spoke of the struggles of an oppressed people who refused to be defeated. Today, most of what is called jazz especially Kenny G is pop jazz, very shallow and boring. Thanks but no thanks Kenny, I like my jazz, rough, raw & unpredictable.
I also like jazz to be full of the spirit of a musician who has been through some tough times & came out stronger, because in essence that is what true jazz music was about. During the Civil Rights Movement Jazz artists remained at the center of the struggle. Miles Davis's band played a benefit concerts for the NAACP. They gave back to the community that inspired their music and in return the community embraced them.
However, today so many jazz artists strive to be so main stream, that they have become self-absorbed and soulless. They could care less about the struggles of the average person. So they charge $100 for tickets to hear them play in swanky theaters. They create and play music that seeks only to glorify how fast or high they can play. So outside of the hotbeds of jazz like New York, no one could really care less about jazz music.
Simply put jazz is just an outward reflection of an inward reality. Jazz can't be what the musician is not. It can only authenticate what is inside their heart. So if a musician doesn't care about the people, then people won't care about jazz.
Finally, at the very heart of the decline of quality jazz music, is that jazz has become completely watered down and institutionalized in schools. This is okay to some degree, but the majority of people now producing jazz music are white middle class musicians who are racist and who don't have the slightest clue about the struggles of Black America that shaped jazz music. To these people jazz is just notes on a page or theory that has to be practiced ad nauseum. This creates a type of jazz music that indeed has great musicianship, but is largely soulless. I believe whole heartedly that it is almost utterly impossible that a so called jazz musician can create quality jazz music if they do not embrace and respect the people who created this great gift from God.

Do you spend any time with jazz musicians? In what world do you live in where the majority of jazz musicians are racist? In my opinion, comments like that devalue any intelligent criticism you are trying to express.
Jazz will never die. It is a true art form and has a incomparable beauty. Jazz is forever.
First of all personal attacks lower your intelligence period.
Second of all, perhaps you should try to present empirical data to your argument instead of attacking me. Clearly you lack the capabilities of participating in a scholarly discussion and perhaps I have struck a chord in your heart.
You have no idea who I am or where I come from, so to question my intelligence is really quite laughable. Unless you have graduated from one of the top universities in the nation I will from now on ignore you, because clearly you are beneath me.
But because I do not like people to languish in complete ignorance here is some food for thought.
1) Why is classical music called "legit music" ? Who came up with this dichotomy between jazz music and classical ? It infers that jazz is illegitimate.
2) Statistically how many African Americans are employed as Jazz instructors in the major musical schools such as Eastman, Juliard and Curtis ?
3) Statistically how many African Americans actually are trained to play jazz music ?
4) Do all jazz programs require a thorough study of jazz composers or simply can they get by with just learning theory ? My experience in 4 different jazz programs says the latter.
5) In elementary school programs is jazz incorporated into the musical curriculum ? My experience as a mother and student says no.
The questions go on and on. People who attack people because they dare question the status quo really just irritate me and are so boring. They remind me of the people in the story the Emporer's New Clothes.
On another note, jazz is most certainly not dead, but you have to be totally delusional to think that it has not lost some prominence in American culture. For example, in the 50s and 60s jazz defended America from the tyranny of fascism and communism. During this time the state department sent jazz musicians all over the world to show that America was in fact an open minded and tolerant country. A complete facade of course, because these same jazz musicians got called nigger and sent to the back of the bus just like all other black people. Today still this disrespect of jazz music and musicians goes on. As a personal friend of some fairly prominent musicians both jazz and classical, I know for a fact that jazz musicians get the least amount of respect, even though jazz takes ALOT more musical intelligence to master. This disrespect is probably the underlying reason why Wynton wrote his book in the first place. However, his philosophy and methodology for returning jazz to prominence is totally different than mine because I am educator then an artist, he is vice versa. Plus as a really spiritual person, I just can't buy into the fact that jazz can save anyone, but I haven't read the book so the title just might be a marketing ploy ;)
Finally as a black woman I have personally been demeaned and had to endure racial slurs by so called white jazz musicians. I am sure they would say " I am not racist, I play jazz" just like those same racist people who say " I am not racist, I have a black friend." This is the same mentality that allowed the so called founding fathers and other racist white people to brutalize black women, men and childern on their plantations, in their towns and across America. And I for one will not tolerate the exploitation of my people or OUR music.

Hey DrWaHoo,
You said that personal attacks lower intelligence and then you personally attacked Lowered Sixth.
As for the issue of race, what you are talking about is a reality. People don't always know that the look on their face is expressing what they are thinking loud and clear. But when people love jazz, it's an opportunity to educate them further in the areas of what is means to be American. President Nixon commissioned the Koerner Report which did put on government record that two Americas exist; to sum it up: one with money and one without. So I took this perspective when I went to teach a course called "Dance and Community". How does dance form within community when people have funding and how do people organize to dance when there is no funding or institutional support? Well, my approach was criticized and was asked "Where are the white people?" by the department chair. Hell, most white people can fund or find funding for whatever they want, so why would they even have to think about what's it like.
One point that I would like to make is that institutional success does not indicate that one is souless or self centered. It just means that the musicians have a stage to call home and money for their families to prosper on. Now, isn't that the American Dream?
I know of two African Americans employed for the jazz school at the Eastman. I know of two African Americans who have left the Juilliard school.
Well done Karen. True dialogue.
An attack, is only an attack if it is not true and without merit. What I said was in self defense, meant to disarm my attacker from any further attacks on my psyche. A right that I have often relinquished with very troubling effects :(
I did not suggest that institutionalization was the primary cause of soullessness in jazz, just a contributing factor. The whole purpose of institutionalization is to trap something so it can be studied, analyzed or contained. I.e. mental institution. Or as its root word institution is defined by Wikipedia
"Institutions are structures and mechanisms of social order and cooperation governing the behavior of a set of individuals. "
An institution in essence does not often promote freedom or innovation, but instead controls behavior. In fact that is why the best innovators did not go to college, i.e. Bill Gates, Michael Dell, the Beatles, etc.,etc. From my own experience as a web developer colleges manufacture technicians and managers not innovators. In fact I believe institutionalization is the antithesis to innovation.
When we start focusing too much on the "letter" of the music and not the spirit, we shut down the spirit of innovation and authentic self expression. (This is somewhat analogous to what the Pharisees tried to do in the Bible.)
All that being said, most free-spirits are dirt poor and need to conform to something in order to pay the bills. This is the on going struggle of every artist no matter what the medium. That is why I need to hurry up and get a dang job and stop wasting my time pontificating on something that doesn't pay my rent, ROFL.

You can't make a statement that most jazz musicians are racist without expecting some disagreement. I took that comment as an insult to a group of people I belong to (i.e. jazz musicians.)
In response to your questions:
1) I resent the fact that some people refer to jazz music as illegitimate. I can assure you that it is not jazz musicians saying that. So, I'm not sure that your argument supports all jazz musicians as being racist.
2) I don't consider most music programs as having much to do with the jazz comunity anyway. Also, this argument has nothing to do with jazz musicians being racist. It may have something to do with college faculty being racist. I don't know anything about that.
3) I would say about the same number of African Americans are trained to play jazz as anyone else. That number is significantly small.
4) Again, these schools don't have much to do with the jazz community anyway. Also, what does this have to do with jazz musicians being racist?
5) I agree that it is not. Again, what does this have to do with jazz musicians being racist?
I did not personally attack you. You made an ignorant statement about jazz musicians and as one I felt the need to respond.

Oh my. I can't believe the level of racism in this thread. Let's all play nice now. There's no reason to make general statements about race here. The original post has some real intelligent meaning in it. It would be nice if we can ignore the ignorant racist comments and focus on why much of jazz music has apparently degenerated into a mere "string of meaningless licks" (my opinion only.)
it's not all that hard to find answers to your questions these days.
To be clear I did not quantify how many jazz musicians are racist. I just said there a lot of them. I don't know where you are from loweredsixth, but I am from Northern Virginia where most of my music experiences and simply education consisted of me being a bean in a big pot of elitist rice. Not to be rude, but if you are white you simply have no credibility to discuss race relations period.

Yeah in 1869 the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson tried to say the same thing. The old "separate but equal" argument. After 112 years I am glad to know it is still alive,lol.
What does racism have to do with jazz ? It is quite simple a tree can not thrive if it is cut off from its roots. The black experience is the life blood jazz music, point blank. For example, no one would ever think that Salsa or Meringue would continue to thrive if the majority of people involved where WASPs. Jazz is NOT EUROPEAN music. This is not anymore racist than saying Afro Cuban music IS NOT ASIAN music or that Banghra IS NOT AFRICAN music.
But I do agree about the lack of melodic sounding songs. Alot of Baby Boomers like Bill Cosby who love jazz would probably say the same thing, you can't dance or nod your head to be bop music. And to be frank I could really care less about jazz music right now, just like a majority of Americans. It has simply become culturally irrelevant sort of like hockey, Lol.

Look I am just trying to help you, Wynton and some other jazz musicians who I love dearly. My legacy is going to live on regardless if jazz music exists or not in the year 3010. If you knew how deep the rabbit hole goes with me, you would understand ;) Herbie Hancock winning the Grammy for that piece crap CD that he put out is like hand writing on the freaking wall.
Jazz could become like spoken Latin or Irish Folk music, a niche or obsolete art form, which to me is very sad. Already black American culture is being continually white washed like Egyptian culture did when someone shot off the black nose of the Sphinx. In Japan some people think that Langston Hughes is white.
Lord Have mercy, like Solomon said "there is nothing new under the sun." I could pontificate all day long about the far reaching legacy of racism in the world and how it continually robs people of color of any foot prints in World History.( Anyone with a shred of knowledge of African History would know this or simply look at the Pantene Pro V Jesus hanging in most churches around the world.)
Sadly,it might be too late for jazz in a centuriy :( I shudder to think that Kenny G could be considered a jazz legend one day.The genius of Wynton Marsalis and black pioneers like him could be buried underneath the sands of time like King Tunkenhamen. It is like Wyton's soul is crying out through his new book. And what is his soul saying ? I AM LEGEND.
And if you want to go even deeper, which very few people can with me. There is but one hope for jazz in the centuries to come. The time capsule launched into space during Carter's Administration. In it, it had Miles Davis' Kind of Blue Album. Like Nostradamus, and they great oracles and seers before me I speak into eternity that Jazz will be born again and only God knows who will return with it :)
Dang this is so deep I think I need someone to throw me a rope or some scuba gear, lol.

To be clear, you stated that the MAJORITY of people producing jazz music are white middle class and racist.
I'm sorry, but that is a ridiculous statement.

No, Jazz is AMERICAN music. It is not AFRICAN music. But, since America has all but abandon jazz music, it is quickly becoming WORLD music. There were many different types of people involved in the creation of jazz music. That is one of it's most appealing qualities.

I'm actually suprised that this thread is surviving on these boards. Incredible.
If you are saying that white jazz musicians are racist, then aren't they the people you would most want to discuss race relations with? Or do you just want them to listen to your arguments without getting to voice their own?
Also, do you really need to know if I am white or not to decide whether my points have any credibility? Is the color of my skin the deciding factor for you? Maybe our online user names should include a descriptor of our race. That way people like you can prejudge accordingly.
The topic is ugly. People become very upset when discussing the impacts of racial perceptions and racial identity. Basically, the best we can do is know and love ourselves, repsect the decisions we make, and project that confidence to the world. Racially integrated activities make it possible to socially balance our interactions, and cultural events facillitate feeling good while all being together. Tolerance for difference, compassion for background, and friendliness make is easier to mix, relate, and even love. Social recovery takes generations when the toll has been so extreme to the quality and locale of human lives. Just think about Wynton and his dad, Ellis. What a difference in quality of life in just one generation. What a difference for Ellis Marsalis, from Chapter One to playing at the Rose in Brooks Brothers for his run in the 2005 Red Hot Holiday Stomp.
I thought I would step in before I go yell at my baby daddy for not paying child support, and my I am never disappointed, ROFL. I do LOVE provoking people over meaningless things like music. Especially when the majority of the world's population is destitute and there are people in Texas have no roof over their head. Nevertheless, it is a good escape and and I do like getting ugly;).
loweredsixth only a white person would say that Jazz is American music, just like when white people say that black people need to get over racism, slavery and that discrimination doesn't exist today. White, black whatever you are you need a history lesson and luckily for you by the grace of God I am very well trained to give you one.
Not until 1965 were black people even considered Americans. And I do believe before that time black people combined blues, negro spirituals and the like to create a music called jazz. It was called "jazz" because it was a mixture of stuff. Remember my new best friend, (i do admire your tenacity) that there was indeed dichotomy between "legit music" and basically anything that black people created. So now 40 years after King was shot and many more years after Billy Holiday wrote "Strange Fruit" all of a sudden jazz is American music. Uhmmm no.
I refuse to by into some sentimental bull crap that SOME ignorant white people try to propagate. Jazz wasn't so American when the Miles Davis quintet played at the NAACP convention. Nor was it American when Louis Armstrong, or W.C. Handy were called niggers and colored and not allowed to vote or even get a decent hotel.
The ONLY reason why Jazz is so open is because BLACK people historically had a co-dependent relationship with white people. Well loweredsixth Slaves times is over !!! The only frontier left is mental slavery. Free your mind and the rest will follow. Jazz music emphatically grew out of BLACK intellectualism and spirituality. It is the only art form created in America by a people brutalized and disenfranchised by a nation it helped built but were declared 2/3 of person.
I don't really care you can ignore history if you want to but for me the truth always sets people free. And as a jazz missionary my brother,and the Good News of the Jazz Gospel is that jazz is the way the truth and the light, no one comes fully to jazz unless they transcend and accept that it is indeed Black music. But if this is still to hard for anyone to comprehend check out this song by the Dean Bowman Quartet

Oh my. You are so high and mighty. It hurts to even read your posts.
You say things like, "Only a white person would say that Jazz is American music."
Are you sure about that?
And what exactly are you proposing here? Should all white people stop playing jazz music? Should all white people stop listening to jazz music? What exactly are you proposing society do to rectify this problem?
DrWahoo, have you figured out what color I am? Am I black or white? After all, you cannot even consider my point of view unless you know what color my skin is. Oh no, what if I'm half black and half white? Then what?
This is hilarious. I really want to know what color you think I am. Please respond.
I prefer green.

Most High Adventure Outfitters
6640 Old State Road 37
Bloomington Indiana 47408United States
(812) 340-0700
Editor's Review
Launch your own fantastic voyage with the help of this Hoosier adventure service.
Steve Chafin left boot prints throughout the Hoosier backwoods in his younger days, and then spent 20 years organizing and carrying out lake and river restorations all around the country. So he and his Most High Adventure Outfitters are a natural choice for outdoor expeditions in central and southern Indiana. Most recently open for business in an old ice cream stand (he still sells a few scoops to drop-ins) outside Spring Mill State Park, Steve focuses on kayak and canoe outings on the East Fork of the White River (a bigger river, often muddy), as well as trips on the upper Patoka River and Salt Creek around Monroe Reservoir. He's experienced in outfitting small trips or big expeditions (for example, nearly 100 students from IU, many of whom had never been in a kayak or canoe before). He is also a fountain of Hoosier river lore. Ask him, for instance, about the fate of the old water-powered grist mill at Lawrenceport. Most High Adventure Outfitters also provides full-suspension mountain bikes for pedaling jaunts around the region, including in Spring Mill Park and Brown and Monroe counties. Indiana doesn't have much in the way of rapids or dramatic vistas, so Most High's outings are best for those who know and love the Hoosier landscape and want to get out and see the farms, fields and woods from a different, more relaxing perspective. Prices: $30-$70 per kayak/canoe for half- or full-day outings, $90 for two-day expeditions (personal flotation devices and paddles included). Bike rentals, $15-$40.

ST. MARYS – Ridgway ended 2011 with a win in the Elk County Holiday Tournament over Johnsonburg.
Johnsonburg returned the favor to end 2012.
The Rams scored the final 13 points in the fourth quarter to take a 36-23 win over Ridgway in the championship game of the tournament Saturday night at St. Marys Area High School.
It's Johnsonburg's second tournament title in four years, the Rams also won the county title in 2009.
"It feels good for the kids I'm sure," Johnsonburg coach Bill Shuey said. "I feel very proud that I was able to be a part of this."
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader basketball team successfully defended their Elk County Girls' Holiday Basketball Tournament crown by defeating the Johnsonburg Ramettes by a 44-27 score in the 2012 championship game played Saturday night at St. Marys Area High School.
The Lady Crusaders' defense was the key to the game as they limited the Ramettes to seven points in the second half of play.
"Holding Johnsonburg to seven points in the second half was definitely the key," said ECCHS coach Ken Pistner.
ST. MARYS – Ridgway boys basketball advanced to defend their Holiday Tournament title with a 64-48 victory over St. Marys in the nightcap of the first day of the Elk County Holiday Basketball Tournament Friday night at St. Marys Area High School.
A strong start in the first quarter ultimately proved to be the difference in the game as Ridgway burst out to a 25-8 lead at the end of the opening eight minutes.
ST. MARYS – The Johnsonburg Rams advanced to the championship game of the Elk County Boys' Holiday Basketball Tournament with a 60-33 victory over the Elk County Catholic Crusaders Friday night at St. Marys Area.
The Rams will meet the Ridgway Elkers tonight at 8 p.m. for the county tournament crown. Elk Catholic will meet St. Marys Area this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. in the consolation game. Ridgway defeated St. Marys 64-48 in the other contest.
ST. MARYS – The Johnsonburg Ramettes coasted to an easy 59-13 victory over winless Ridgway in the first round of the Elk County Holiday Basketball Tournament.
With the win, Johnsonburg will play today in the title game against Elk County Catholic.

"There's a lot of things that we're working at working on every game, every time we're in practice," St. Marys coach Leona Ho'ohuli said. "It is our defense, we are looking hard on our defense this year and the girls came out and did well."
Ridgway wrestling lost 60-3 to Port Allegany in the Elkers' home opener Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
"Port Allegany's a great team," Ridgway coach David Fordoski said. "They have a lot of upperclassmen and they wrestled like that. They have a lot of mat experience. A lot of our kids are just starting to get their experience. They were able in a lot of the matches to get that extra takedown or the extra thing right at the end in the win. It's disheartening sitting on this side, seeing it happen but it's part of the learning process."
JOHNSONBURG – A slew of Brockway underclassmen came up big Tuesday night as the visiting Rovers earned a 58-16 win over the Rams on the wrestling mat in Johnsonburg.
The Rovers got six wins by underclassmen, three by freshmen and another three by sophomores, and took advantage of four wins by forfeit for the runaway victory.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Investigators with the Orange County Sheriff's Office are searching for the perpetrator or perpetrators of numerous vehicle burglaries that have been reported all over the county.
According to Orange County Deputy Martin Gaskin at the scene of an accident Monday morning, Feb. 11, around 9:30 a.m., a woman veered off the road in Rose City and crashed into a guardrail. The young woman at the scene said she lost control when her car hydroplaned on the westbound Interstate 10 access road near the Asher Turnaround. She said she was unhurt.

Nice Helmetby Darren - verified purchaser
So I purchased this helmet as a replacement to a Scorpion Exo 500 that fitted too thigh on me. First impression was that the helmet looks very good. The fit is great and comfortable even on 200+ mile rides. It is bluetooth ready in case you want to purchase a bluetooth system for it. I just installed some speakers on them and the fit very nicely into the speaker pockets so you wont even feel the speakers there. Overall im very happy with the purchase and would recommend to a friend. The modular is a plus if you wear glasses.. This is just a great helmet..

"Utilizing recycled water in so many different spaces and in such a variety of ways was a challenging proposition," said Chris de Groot, the City's Director of Water and Sewer Utilities. "We had to develop a new way to test both potable and recycled systems for a building of this size, and get approval from the California Department of Public Health. Through innovation and cooperative partnerships, we were able to achieve this new standard."
The recycled water system will be a key element in the quest to make Levi's® Stadium the greenest stadium in the country and the first NFL stadium to open with a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. Other green features include energy efficient systems, solar power, and the use of recycled construction materials.
"With California experiencing historic drought conditions, the timing couldn't be better to showcase the benefits of using recycled water whenever and wherever possible," said San Francisco 49ers Vice President, Stadium Operations Jim Mercurio. "Fans visiting the stadium will become more aware of the importance and viability of incorporating recycled water to encourage a sustainable Bay Area water supply."
The City of Santa Clara is recognized for having one of the most progressive recycled water programs in Northern California, with recycled water accounting for 15 percent of its water supply. The program was honored with the American City & County Award of Merit and is the recipient of the 2014 Recycled Water Agency of the Year award from California WaterReuse Association.
The City's Recycled Water System is a cooperative venture of the City of Santa Clara, South Bay Water Recycling, the regional wholesaler of recycled water, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District.

EDMONTON - When Linda Ha graduated from an Edmonton high school with a head start on hairstylist training, she was unsure how long she would stay in the industry.
But more than 10 years later, Ha is still at it, with a diverse resume that includes salon stylist, cruise ship barber, teacher — and now small business owner.
"Initially I thought this would be a great skill to have coming out of high school, but I wanted to maybe do something else after. But I kept getting busier and doors kept opening in different areas," Ha said. "It's been really diverse. There's so many different avenues you can take."
Ha entered the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP), in which high school students learn a trade while earning high-school credits. Hairstylist is one of more than 50 trades students can choose from, as well as cook, electrician, machinist and roofer. In 2011, 1,514 high school students across Alberta worked with 1,020 employers.
Ha graduated from J. Percy Page in 1999 and apprenticed at a few salons, then worked as a licensed hairstylist.
"At first I was able to do a lot of hairstyling competitions, fashion shows and editorial work. From there I got to travel … and eventually I got to teach," Ha said.
"There's so many diverse options out there within the industry, and they're not all behind the chair."
Ha spent a year on a cruise ship in Mexico, a job that included three months of barber training in London, England, where she learned to cut men's hair.
"That was in 2006 and I've been thinking about it since. I got back from the cruise ship, had a baby, went on maternity leave and taught for a bit, but in the back of my mind I knew I wanted to do something very men's specific again."
In June 2011, Ha opened Barber Ha, a small three-chair shop catering to men's grooming in a neighbourhood strip mall in King Edward Park. Ha said she partly chose the small 500-square-foot space for its cheap rent, worried that the concept of a men's-only grooming spot might not catch on in Edmonton.
But the shop, which Ha describes as a modern take on the barbershop experience, has been busy. This October, Barber Ha moved to an 1,800-square-foot Whyte Avenue location, to accommodate a growing clientele and staff of eight.
An ongoing challenge for Ha is finding qualified barbers, as hairstylist programs tend to focus on women's hair and most apprentices work in salons with more female customers. Barbering is not a trade, so barbers often take additional courses and training after becoming licensed hairstylists.
"I'm realizing there's a huge need for barbers," Ha said.
Hairdressing seminars, business courses and outside advice, including hiring a business coach when the shop opened, helped Ha make the move to business owner.
"I enjoy work every day because I've created my own environment that is very comfortable to me," Ha said. "I've been able to incorporate all the skills I've learned along the way in various jobs into my own business."

Amlodipine is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). Amlodipine is in a class of medications called calcium channel blockers. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It controls chest pain by increasing the supply of blood to the heart. If taken regularly, amlodipine controls chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts. Your doctor may prescribe a different medication to take when you have chest pain.
Amlodipine comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day. To help you remember to take amlodipine, take it around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take amlodipine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of amlodipine and gradually increase your dose.
Amlodipine controls high blood pressure and chest pain (angina) but does not cure them. Continue to take amlodipine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking amlodipine without talking to your doctor.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking amlodipine,
If your doctor prescribes a low-salt or low-sodium diet, follow these directions carefully.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Amlodipine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly to determine your response to amlodipine.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

MOUNT AYR – Mary Martsching has proved writing can come from anywhere.
Martsching, 65, of Mount Ayr self-published her first novel, "Finding Heath," which was completed in April. It is available in e-book, paperback and hardcover at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.
"Finding Heath" is about a 14-year-old boy named Heath who lives with his estranged grandfather on Block Island, R.I. Heath struggles with a bully at school and pressure from his basketball coach, before he suddenly finds himself in a difficult position.
The book also contains a table of contents, glossary, further resources, reader's guide and afterword about Block Island's school system compared to schools on mainland United States.
Martsching was inspired by many things when it came to writing. She based Heath on the growth and change middle-school students go through during school.
"There's so much going on in their life at that time," said Martsching. "No one likes the way they look; nobody thinks they're going to be manly enough, or beautiful enough, or whatever. So, and I try to write with their interests in mind."
Martsching was also inspired by lighthouses she visited on vacation. "Finding Heath" was based on Mohican Bluffs, Block Island, R.I. Her second and third unpublished books are mysteries based on lighthouses located in Connecticut Harbor, Groton, Conn., and Navesink, N. J., respectively.
"I just love lighthouses," Martsching said. "Christ is very important in my life, and he's the lighthouse of the world. And, so, I know He led me in a stormy time, … and, you know, lighthouses are beacons that warn ships and bring them to the shore safely, so I see the symbolism there."
Several authors who inspired her were Carolyn Keene, author of the "Nancy Drew" series; Susan Cooper; Gary Paulsen, author of "Hatchet;" Edgar Allan Poe, C.S. Lewis and Elizabeth George Speare. Carol Gorman and Christy Hull are Iowa authors who also inspired Martsching to write.
"But, my favorite inspiration is the Bible, and I'll tell you why," Martsching said. "It's got everything. It's got romance, mystery – mysteries all over the place – promises, hope, beginning, ending. I don't know, I just love it. And, all the heroes in there in the Old Testament, and then those in the New Testament, I just think, 'Wow.' If I could write and keep those plots and what made character, if I could do that, develop character like that, I feel like I would be impacting the students in a very powerful, but positive, way."
Martsching began writing in 2007.
"I took a course through the Institute of Children's Literature, and that was writing for magazines," said Martsching. "I took that, and I did okay with that. But I really wanted to write novels instead of articles. They (Institute of Children's Literature) contacted me and wanted me to take another course on writing and publishing children's books."
Martsching was paired with the author Louis Foley, who challenged Martsching to write a full novel.
"She was really encouraging, and felt it was a worthwhile novel to pursue," Martsching said.
Martsching then went through the revision process, revising the draft multiple times before sending copies to publishing houses. She received all rejections, but felt the need to pursue publishing.
"I have no experience in marketing. I'm not good at promoting myself," said Martsching. "I can write, but to push myself out there, that's not me. I'm over my comfort level."
She took courses on marketing, involving social media, like Facebook and websites, platforms and brands, and attempted to get an agent. She wasn't able to, after seeing the cost of one, and, instead, began looking at self-publishing.
"I got online, and I just kept searching, and WestBow Press was one of them," Martsching said. "WestBow Press was a Christian publishing company, so I thought, 'I'll try that.' And, they're wonderful. They are wonderful."
It cost Martsching $3,300 to self-publish "Finding Heath," which is a package that included rights to Thinkstock for images for the cover, help on formatting the text, a first critique and professional editor. After getting the images for the cover, and perfecting the text, Martsching officially signed off on the book.
Originally from Burlington, Martsching was a reading specialist and helped students learn to read better in Burlington and Columbus Junction school districts.
"I loved every grade I taught," said Martsching, "but I have a soft spot for those middle grades. I know they're the most volatile. I know they're puberty-ridden, can-be-demonic children, but I love them."
Martsching began working for Area Education Agency 14 (now Green Hills AEA), which brought her to southern Iowa. Area 14 serviced Mount Ayr and Diagonal school districts. The head office was located in Creston, and the office Martsching worked in was located in Osceola.
"I talked to the teachers and principals that I served that I really wanted to do this, so they allowed me to take over a sign-up paper, and they signed up for copies of some of my books," said Martsching. "Another thing to market myself, I just met with the Mount Ayr librarian ... and I'll be doing a book signing over Mount Ayr Days."
Martsching's first book signing will be June 15 at Burlington by the Book, during Burlington Steamboat Days. Her second will be at the Mount Ayr Library July 20. She also has a book launch set for Aug. 3, at the REC building in Mount Ayr.
Martsching is currently a substitute teacher in Mount Ayr.

ElderLink 2014 South Plains Church of Christ, Lubbock TX
The stated mission of the ElderLink ministry is to "equip, encourage and link those who serve as leaders in Churches of Christ, through collaborative relationships, informative resources, and shared learning opportunities." While the name suggests that it is geared only for elders, that is not correct. This one day seminar is open to ministers, deacons, spouses, and all types of ministry leaders who could improve leadership skill and, most importantly, experience much-needed spiritual refreshment.
ElderLink was started by LCU alum and longtime ACU professor, Dr. Charles Siburt. Our one day event on March 1 is the result of collaboration between LCU and ACU to bring this most excellent resource to the Panhandle of West Texas. The South Plains Church of Christ has graciously made their building available for this event.
The theme for this year's seminar is Church Next. We will be focusing on a number of challenges our churches face as we seek to be faithful in bearing witness to the gospel in our culture.
The lineup for this event is stellar.
Our plenary speakers are:
- Ken Durham – Lipscomb Baxter Chair of Preaching (Nashville, Tennessee)
- Randy Harris – ACU College of Biblical Studies (Abilene, Texas)
Our breakout speakers are:
- Jeff Cary – LCU Associate Professor of Theology (Lubbock, Texas)
- David Langford – Quaker Avenue Church of Christ Minister and Elder (Lubbock, Texas)
- Royce Money – ACU Siburt Institute for Church Ministry (Abilene, Texas)

I'm trying to find a Firefox addon to do multiple searches in a single search engine (I have Chrome installed too, so that would probably be fine). I'm not sure what the UI would be but one way to do it would be to offer a text area to paste a list of your things you want to do a search on, hit submit and you see several tabs open up, each representing search results for a line item.
So for example, you paste in or type in a list of actors, and you get an IMDB search for each actor.

Influenza (Flu): One dose yearly for all adults, especially persons 50 years and older. Recommendation may change yearly depending on availability of vaccine.
Pneumococcal (Pneumonia): Vaccinate all adults aged 65 years and older; adults younger than age 65 years with chronic lung disease, chronic cardiovascular diseases; diabetes; chronic renal failure; nephrotic syndrome; chronic liver disease (including cirrhosis); alcoholism; cochlear implants; cerebrospinal fluid leaks; immune-compromising conditions; and functional or anatomic asplenia; residents of nursing homes or long-term care facilities; and adults who smoke cigarettes.
Revaccination with PPSV23: One-time revaccination 5 years after the first dose is recommended for persons aged 19 through 64 years with chronic renal failure or nephrotic syndrome; functional or anatomic asplenia (e.g., sickle cell disease or splenectomy); and for persons with immune-compromising conditions. Persons who received 1 or 2 doses of PPSV23 before age 65 years for any indication should receive another dose of the vaccine at age 65 years or later if at least 5 years have passed since their previous dose. No further doses are needed for persons vaccinated with PPSV23 at or after age 65 years.
Tetanus-Diphtheria (Td): Booster every 10 years for all adults.
Hepatitis A (Hep A): Two doses at least 6 months apart for adults at-risk.

text: Breakfast, Main Dishes, My Work Slow Cooked Honey Crisp Apple Oatmeal Apple season is one of my favorite produce seasons and one of my favorite snacks in the Fall months. Today I am sharing a recipe for slow cooked honeycrisp apple oatmeal that you are going to love for a warm and satisfying breakfast on these chilly Fall mornings. The best part about all of this though, is my incredible tip for getting creamy oats that won't burn or stick to your slow cooker. I am working with Walmart and they wanted me to share with you that the Apple Fest season is in full swing at the store. You may have noticed the huge display of fun apples, apple totes, and apple treats/dips that are now displayed in your produce section. One of the things that you may not have noticed though is that tags on each bin of apples shares exactly what each variety of apple is perfect for- whether it be salads, baking, or just eaten fresh. I found it really helpful when choosing which apples to use in my recipes and it can be a great way to experiment with a new variety of apple you haven't tried before. Often when it comes to baking, I reach for a Granny Smith apple. When researching different varieties of apples that are best to bake with, I discovered that the Honeycrisp Apple and the McIntosh apple were both great varieties to choose when baking. I decided to put the Honeycrisp Apple to work in an overnight oatmeal recipe. I admit that I have never had good success with overnight oats. The oats were usually burnt or overcooked and I always had a hard time getting my slow cooker clean after a batch. That is why I am so excited to share with you this easy technique to create a double boiler right in your slow cooker. Find a oven-proof dish that you can place inside of your slow cooker and spray it well with a little cooking spray. Place your oatmeal ingredients right inside of the the dish and then, using a liquid measuring cup, pour water around the dish to create a water bath. It doesn't need to be really full, just an inch or so. Set your slow cooker to LOW and you will have perfectly creamy oatmeal with no burnt spots every single time. I can't wait for you to try this recipe in your kitchen! Print Slow Cooked Honey Crisp Apple Oatmeal Author: Amy Clark Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 6 hours Total time: 6 hours 15 mins Serves: 4 This recipe can be personalized according to your family's dietary needs or what variety of apple is on sale at the grocery store. I loved preparing this one with almond milk! Try my technique for creating your own double-boiler to get a creamier oatmeal! Ingredients 1 cup steel cut oats (NO substitutions) 3½ cups milk (or milk substitute) 1 Honeycrisp apple, diced 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Instructions Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the steel cut oats, milk, honeycrisp apple, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker, and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Cover the cooker, set to Low, and allow to cook 6 to 7 hours (for firm oats) or 8 hours (for softer texture). 3.2.2124 Looking for more apple recipes?

Softball Splits Afternoon Series With Tennessee Tech
Thursday, April 15, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 15, 2004) - Behind a complete game, one-run effort by senior pitcher Tiffany McVay (Sale Creek, Tenn.), the East Tennessee State Buccaneers (22-24, 3-6 SoCon) split their afternoon doubleheader with the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (29-20, 8-5 Ohio Valley) Thursday with a 4-3 setback in game one and a 2-1 victory in game two in non-conference action at Metro-Kiwanis Park. The Golden Eagles struck first in game one as Marianne Novac scored off the sacrifice fly by Kacy Bennett, while Samantha Lovelady strengthened the lead with a single to right field giving Tech the early 2-0 advantage. The pitching of ETSU right-hander Belinda Berrera (Fayetteville, N.C.) held the Golden Eagles scoreless through the next six innings giving the Buccaneer bats the opportunity to even the score. McVay stepped to the plate managing a walk that would eventually place her in scoring position as she scored the first ETSU run off a single from Daniel Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.) in the bottom of the third inning. Buccaneer senior Julia Chance (Knoxville, Tenn.) walked to become the first base runner for ETSU in the bottom of the fourth. After stealing second base, Chance scored on a single by Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn.) to even the game at 2-2. In extra innings the offense of the Golden Eagles proved too strong as they posted two runs in the top of the eighth inning to take the 4-2 lead. ETSU placed Janine Sprague (Hillsborough, N.C.) on second in the bottom of the eighth where she added a Buccaneer run on a Spetar single to right field. However, the effort fell short as Tennessee Tech took game one 4-3. McVay took the mound for ETSU in game two allowing just four hits and one run in the six-inning effort. The Buccaneer bats struck early as Sprague scored off a Spetar single in the first, and Stephanie Gaynord (Manassas, Va.) scored during the second inning to give ETSU the 2-0 advantage. The game remained scoreless until the top of the seventh inning when Tennessee Tech senior, Dana Yates, scored off a single by Katie Sutherland to spark the bats of the Golden Eagles. Pinch hitter Tia Brenning stepped to the plate with the chance to even the score, however McVay forced a lineout to the shortstop and ETSU took the second decision 2-1. ETSU will next see action when they travel for a three-game conference series against Chattanooga for an April 17th doubleheader and single game on April 18th. Tennessee Tech will host Tennessee State in Ohio Valley Conference action April 17th.
