An ISCH bibliographies post
Usually following a conference, I write some kind of post-conference report, where I reflect on the conversations and ideas that the conference provoked and discussed. For the recent ISCH conference on 'Senses, Emotions & the Affective Turn Recent Perspectives and New Challenges in Cultural History', I want to do something a little different. Instead of the report format, I want to compile a bibliography of texts that I made note of speakers referencing. As I'm currently writing my monograph on the relationship between domestic material culture, sociabilities, and emotions between 1750-1850, this list has already been a hugely useful bibliography for my own research, but I had a sense as I was compiling it, that it might also be of use to a broader audience interested in state of the history of the emotions today.
This by no means represents a complete bibliography, as the conference had many parallel sessions, and I was only able to attend two days, but it will hopefully give a sense of some of the scholarship that presenters were using to construct their paper's critical frameworks, and thereby a sense of how the history of the emotions is 'being done' at this present moment.

Lewis Walpole Library Research Travel Grant Report
Thanks to a 2016-17 Travel Grant from the Lewis Walpole Library (taken in April 2017) I was able to conduct crucial primary research for two monograph projects: the first, which develops research from my PhD thesis to think about the social and emotional life of the home in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the second, my postdoctoral project, which is provisionally titled Collage before Modernism: Art, Intimacy and Identity in Britain and North America, 1700-1900. The book will be the first study to focus on the complex relationship between emotion, identity, and the production of collage during this period, and will explore how the asking how its creation reflected and constructed the interests, intimacies, and identities of its makers.
Specifically, a Lewis Walpole Library Travel Grant enabled me to conduct research for chapters for each project, which variously examine the reception and production of Strawberry Hill in scrapbooks and extra-illustrated texts made within the circle of Horace Walpole, Anne Seymour Damer, and Mary and Agnes Berry; and the familial production of commonplace books and albums in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries. For the first of these chapters, I consulted the notebooks, scrapbooks, and correspondence of Anne Seymour Damer, Mary Berry, Agnes Berry, and Horace Walpole, as well as a number of extra-illustrated volumes of Walpole's A Description of the Villa of Horace Walpole. Examining these manuscript volumes and published texts not only allowed me to unpack and trace the various relationships between this social group, but also to think about how these relationships were constructed and reflected in these collaged objects. I was also able to consult a range of supporting literature, such as the 'Astley Collection of Strawberry Hill Pieces', and the 'Rarities from Strawberry Hill', which allowed me to place these volumes within a broader context of literary and material production coming from, or centring on, Strawberry Hill. Visiting the library also gave me the chance to examine the famous Beauclerk Cabinet (1783-4), a fascinating piece of furniture, which, like the extra-illustrated copies of the Description, demonstrates how the very fabric of Strawberry Hill was shaped by collaborative and creative endeavour.
For the second of the chapters, I examined the library's collections of albums and commonplace books, focusing on those that were familially produced, or which particularly pertained to the expression of emotion. The latter included LWL MSS Vol. 18, a manuscript collection of poems, elegies, verses on the subjects of solitude, death, and the nature of humanity, whose carefully selected inclusions will allow me to consider how commonplace books' excerpted texts reflect and construct contemporaries' emotional lives during this period. I also looked at the Library's recent acquisition, LWL MSS Vol. 223, a boxed series of sixty-five manuscript notecards that functions like a commonplace book, bearing several hands and thereby attesting to the communal nature of its production.
I also spent time looking at the Library's broader collection of commonplace books and albums. which allowed me to conduct important comparative research. Some of these were particularly revealing for thinking through some of the technologies of commonplacing during this period, especially in terms of how contemporaries themselves conceived of these practices. For example, Sir Henry Edward Bunbury's commonplace book, 'Omnium gatherum', comprising original verse, extracts, costume, epigrams, bon mots, traits (LWL MSS File 81), features a highly reflexive, hand-drawn title page, depicting the collector of the volume's inclusions standing over a pile of rocks labelled with words that evoke the manuscript's contents.
Spending time looking at these manuscripts in person was invaluable to my research, as it allowed me to explore issues of materiality, and to think about how these objects were constructed, viewed, and handled at the time that they were made. Going forward, I'll spend time reviewing and reflecting upon the photographs and notes taken at the Library, researching the manuscripts' various inclusions further and thinking about the volumes in relation to research conducted at other institutions, such as Yale Center for British Art. I'm hugely excited to utilise my findings as I finish my first book and continue the research into my second, and would like to thank the Lewis Walpole Library for making this research possible.

You can set your watch by it. The minute some halfway decent government in Latin America begins to reverse the order of things and give the have-nots a break from the grind of poverty and wretchedness, the usual suspects in El Norte rouse themselves from the slumber of indifference and start barking furiously about democratic norms. It happened in 1973 in Chile; we saw it again in Nicaragua in the 1980s; and here's the same show on summer rerun in Venezuela, pending the August 15 recall referendum of President Hugo Chávez.
Chávez is the best thing that has happened to Venezuela's poor in a very long time. His government has actually delivered on some of its promises, with improved literacy rates and more students getting school meals. Public spending has quadrupled on education and tripled on healthcare, and infant mortality has declined. The government is promoting one of the most ambitious land-reform programs seen in Latin America in decades.
Most of this has been done under conditions of economic sabotage. Oil strikes, a coup attempt and capital flight have resulted in about a 4 percent decline in GDP for the five years that Chávez has been in office. But the economy is growing at close to 12 percent this year, and with world oil prices near $40 a barrel, the government has extra billions that it's using for social programs. So naturally the United States wants him out, just as the rich in Venezuela do. Chávez was re-elected in 2000 for a six-year term. A US-backed coup against him was badly botched in 2002.
The imperial script calls for a human rights organization to start braying about irregularities by their intended victim. And yes, here's José Miguel Vivanco of Human Rights Watch. We last met him in this column helping to ease a $1.7 billion US aid package for Colombia's military apparatus. This time he's holding a press conference in Caracas, hollering about the brazen way Chávez is trying to expand membership of Venezuela's Supreme Court, the same way FDR did, and for the same reason: that the Venezuelan court has been effectively packed the other way for decades, with judicial flunkies of the rich. I don't recall Vivanco holding too many press conferences to protest that perennial iniquity.
The "international observers" recruited to save the rich traditionally include the Organization of American States and the Carter Center; in the case of the Venezuelan recall they have mustered dead on schedule. On behalf of the opposition, they exerted enormous pressure on the country's independent National Electoral Council during the signature-gathering and verification process. Eventually the head of the OAS mission had to be replaced by the OAS secretary general because of his unacceptable public statements. The Carter Center's team is headed by Jennifer McCoy, whose forthcoming book, The Unraveling of Representative Democracy in Venezuela, leans heavily against the government. One of its contributors is José Antonio Gil of the Datanalysis Polling Firm, most often cited for US media analysis. The Los Angeles Times quoted Gil on what to do: "And he can see only one way out of the political crisis surrounding President Hugo Chávez. 'He has to be killed,' he said, using his finger to stab the table in his office far above this capital's filthy streets. 'He has to be killed.'"

text: 2 weeks ago I bought a domain that targets the KW "my city dentists" for a little side project that Id work on over time. Well today I check and that baby is sittin at the #2 spot, below the 7 local google places. So now its time to contact potential clients to get some money. I have absoultly no idea how to do this so I need some help. So far this is my plan Ive looked up all the dentists in my area and gathered a list of 42 of them. Ill go through it again later and check off all the ones WITH a website (which at a quick glance looks likes its less than 10) and send a letter to all those WITHOUT a website. I need help with writing a letter than I can mail to all these dentist. Do I just say I own mycitydentist.com and its at the #2 spot on google getting lots of exposure and that I want to rent it out to a local dentist for a monthly fee? Ill also put in the letter that I am sending this exact letter to every dentist in town and will only sell it to one so act fast, or something like that. I want to sound as professional as possible even though I am a complete amateur. For price I though about including in the letter stating you can rent this site for $xxx amount per month. But I have absoultly no clue how much to charge. Its a fairly small city, 65K people and with a few variations of the keywords theres less than 100 searches a month. If I could get $250 a month Id be pretty happy, but it that to much or to little? Once I get a client do I need to have some sort of legal documents or anything? Do I just send him a monthly invoice? Sorry for the long post but like I said I am a complete noob when it comes to this. If any of you know of any good ebooks that are worth reading please let me know, thats what Im really look for at the moment.

Orlando: A Message to Faith Defenders and Larger Implications for the LGBTQ+ Community
A reflection on the horrific events of June 12th, 2016, and the reactions to them.
Waking up to the news of the Orlando shooting on Sunday set off a chain of emotions within myself. I was shocked. I was angry. I cried. I was angry again, so on forth and so forth. The Pulse shooting has weighed very heavily on my mind since the moment I read the news, and I feel that there is so much to say about this event. This tragedy, that resulted in the deaths of 49 innocent individuals, provides commentary on so many of today's issues that narrowing it down to just one or two, as I've seen many on the internet do, does not in any way do it, or the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, justice. That being said, I am in no way claiming to cover all of these issues in this post, but I do want to reflect and share my own thoughts on this tragedy, and perhaps provide some perspective on two of the aspects that I have yet to see covered.

By now the news that Al Gore and the IPCC won the 2007 Nobel Peace prize is slightly more than a week old, but I would feel remiss in not mentioning it on this site. The recipients are recognized "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change " In an October 12, 2007 email to recipients registered on Al Gore's website, he reminds us once again that, "The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level." See the IPCC response to the award.
The IPCC predicts that there will be an averagetemperature increase of 2 degrees (C) or 3.6 degrees (F) over the next century. However, it is important to understand that during a 30 year span from 1976-2006 the Northern Polar regions already increased temperature by this amount (see map). Thus, the change in these regions could very likely be higher than those numbers. At a 4 degree Celsius increase (7.2 F), more than 40% of species face extinction.

The International Day of Peace is approaching on September 21. I just received an email alert from Roots and Shoots about a creative way to celebrate the event.
Roots & Shoots Day of Peace is celebrated in support of the United Nations International Day of Peace. The Roots and Shoots celebrations are taking place on Sunday September 23rd representing a global effort to spread the spirit of peace. Dr. Jane Goodall and Roots & Shoots members all over the world will take action to show that peace is possible. You can take action too! Fly a Giant Peace Dove, get involved in a peace event or create your own peace-oriented project. Don't forget, your actions matter—so let the doves fly!
Dr. Jane Goodall was recently re-appointed as a U.N. Messenger of Peace, and along with other Messengers Michael Douglas and Elie Wiesel, she will ring the peace bell at the U.N. headquarters in New York City on the U.N. International Day of Peace.

As someone interested in making the world a better place, I believe change first starts from within. Or to use the words of Ghandi, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
Author and life coach Brad Swift describes in the early part of his new book Life on Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life, how when he sees the negative events around the world highlighted in the media it exemplifies a world without vision, and people without purpose. I absolutely share his desire for the number of headlines focused on the creation of lasting peace in the Middle East, the end of hunger within a decade, or celebration of the largest spiritual gathering of interfaith leaders Jerusalem to outweigh those that dominate the news today.
A significant portion of the book is dedicated to assisting readers in creating their life purpose. Some points worth noting:
To discover these basic elements, Brad suggests examining your answers to the following questions:
Brad explains how a life purpose is based in love. It inspires what you do. This contrasts from one's inherited pupose or default mechanism (important distinction), which is based on fear. Once you have done the internal work to understand both your inherited purpose and life purpose, you can take steps to build your Life on Purpose. Something Brad highlights is the importantance of your life purpose not only being in your consciousness, but also in the consciousness of others. Valuable tools to achieve this are offered such as identifying purpose partners who know and relate to you as your create life purpose, participating in a purpose pod or a group of like minded people who are supportive in your living true to your life purpose, and creating a purpose project that kick starts your process of living a life on purpose.
Since I will soon be beginning an Integral Studies Masters program, an area of personal interest to me was touched upon with the reference in the book to Ken Wilber's 2001 Theory of Everything. Refinements in Ken's four quadrants can be explored further in the 2005 Integral Operating System 1.0, which may help readers understand how the theory relates to Brad's topic of Life Purpose. Wilber's four quadrants are identified as the "I" representing the interior individual (intentional), the "it" being the exterior individual (behaviorial), the "we" the interior collective (cultural), and the "its" the physical exterior collective (social and environmental). All four of the quadrants have stages of development. So, for example the "we" progresses from egocentric, to ethnocentric, and then to worldcentric consciousness. As more individuals and societies evolve toward universal consciousness the potential for planetary peace and wellbeing increases exponentially. Living a Life on Purpose is a step in that direction.

While working on my Masters in Environmental Security and Peace, a large portion of my research was focused on the devastating environmental and health impacts of the oil drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon over the past quarter century. The biodiversity in the country has significant value to the world. An article this week from the United Nationa Inter Press Service reported of an announcement made by Ecuadorian officials at an international meeting that their government would ban exploitation of huge oil reserves if it was compensated for its effort to save the natural habitat of the Amazon region. This is HUGE! Now is the time for the international community to rally, and make this a reality.
Several months ago I was contacted by James Lawson about a project proposal to make Ecuador an important "circuit for exposting information on global development." His vision is to establish in Ecuador, a country that includes 28 of the world's 30 basic bioclimatic zones, a working model for understanding the technologies and techniques necessary to regenerate the Earth and develop sustatiable development strategies that can be transferred to other regions of the globe. He is seeking funding and support for this project.
The timing could be perfect for this idea to push this forward, given the political climate in the country.

Students from three University of California campuses began a hunger strike this week in a peaceful protest of the University's involvement in managing the nation's nuclear weapons research laboratories. More information about the strike is available on the No More Nukes in Our Name blog. One of these facilities, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is located within 15 miles from where I live and work.
The Department of Energy plans to double the plutonium limit at Livermore Lab to 3,080 pounds - enough plutonium for more than 300 nuclear bombs. Having this much plutonium in Livermore presents enormous, unstudied risks - such as making the lab a terrorist target, leaving the San Francisco Bay area vulnerable to environmental releases from accidents or routine operations, and provoking other countries to follow suit and increase their stockpiles of nuclear materials. Tri-Valley CARES made an alternative proposal to manage Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and remove the highly enriched uranium and plutonium from the site within 4 years. Instead of continuing the history of nuclear weapons research, they developed a plan to conduct research exclusively on non-weapons programs that would be designed to help health and the environment. Their bid was rejected.
Nuclear weapons research continues in full force in the United States. For now. But in the long-term peace will prevail.

Actor-producer LeVar Burton is working on a PBS television special entitled The Science of Peace. The series will include episodes on peace in the body, in water, on the land, peace consciousness, in the brain, peace institutions, and peace education. The project is looking for financial donors. Read more about how to support the project.
The December 2006-February 2007 issue of Shift at the Frontiers of Consciousness is titled "Toward a Science of Peace." In an article from James O Dea's titled, Peace: a New Center of Human Becoming, he writes that, "The transformation of our world requires a new story, one that deals with the deepest underlying causes of war and violence and that offers us the inescapable lure and promise of peace. It must be a story in which our desire to settle differences is more exciting than the willingness to die for the rightness of our cause...It must offer such a compelling vista into the universe that our sense of awe and wonder gives a new perspective on the beauty of human diversity and the need to heal the great wound in nature."

I couldn't agree more!

Found a cool piano synth fx in my DAW that really fits this melody that I wrote a while ago. I'd like to dedicate this song to my grandma' who's always been extremely supportive and helpful. She keeps being a source of inspiration and joy, and I'm very grateful to have her in my life :)
Psyched about ES6
Making a note of the upcoming features, hopefully I will be able to remember it until it's actually implemented across all browsers (thumbs up for Mozilla having implemented a lot of it into Firefox already).
Block scoping & function declarations
function myFn () { if(true) { var a = 1; let b = 2; function myFn2 () { // ... } } console.log(a); // 1 console.log(b); // ReferenceError: b is not defined myFn2(); // ReferenceError: fn is not defined }
const a; // SyntaxError: const declarations must have an initializer const a = 1; a = 2; // SyntaxError: Assignment to constant variable // Note that 'const' variables are block scoped / lexical scoped just as 'let' variables are.
Default parameters
function myFn (x, y = 2, z = x * 2) { return [x, y * x, z]; } myFn(5); // [5, 10, 10]
var [x,y] = [1,2]; // x : 1, y : 2 [x,y] = [y,x] // x : 2, y : 1
Multiple return values, spread, rest parameters
function myFn(title, ...vars) { return [...vars]; } myFn(1,2,3,4,"hoax"); // [2,3,4, "hoax"]
function myFn2(a,b,c) { return [a,b,c]; } myFn2(1, ,3); // [1,3]
function myFn3() { return [1,2,3]; } var [a, ,c] = myFn3(); // a : 1, c : 3
function myFn4(a,b,c) { return b; } var arr = [1,2,3]; myFn4(...arr); // 2
var mySet = new Set(); mySet.add("Hollah"); mySet.has("Hollah"); // true mySet.delete("Hollah"); mySet.has("Hollah"); // false var myMap = new Map(); myMap.set("Item", 5); myMap.set("Horse", "Pinto"); myMap.get("Item"); for( var [thing, value] of myMap ) { console.log(thing + ": " + value); } myMap.delete("Item"); myMap.has("Item"); // false
// helpers.js export fnA() { console.log("fnA!"); } export fnB() { console.log("fnB!"); }
// main.js import { fnA, fnB } from 'helpers'; fnA(); fnB();
Array comprehension
var temp = [ 0, 37, 100 ]; [t + 273 for (t of temp)]; // [273, 310, 373] // Excellent "Cluedo" example from TutsPlus.. var suspects = ["Miss Scarlet", "Colonel Mustard"], weapons = ["Candlestick", "Dagger"], rooms = ["Kitchen", "Ballroom"]; [(console.log(s + " with a " + w + " in the " + r)) for (s of suspects) for (w of weapons) for (r of rooms)]; // Miss Scarlet with a CandleStick in the Kitchen // Miss Scarlet with a Candle Stick in the Ballroom // Miss Scarlet with a Dagger in the Kitchen // ...
Autumn Blues
Another little sound clip, song's named after a family member's favorite movie when we were growing up in the 80′s. I haven't met him in some 15 years so I have no idea what he thinks of this movie today, thus no names mentioned.. ;)
And, it's still ringing.
Two more sound clips from my music project, it's fun to play around with the different instruments and synthesizers :)
Heat of the Sun
Music on my mind
I bought an insanely expensive piece of software a couple of weeks ago, it's intended for making music and I am now trying to learn how to use it properly. As insanely expensive as it might be, it's equal parts complicated and so it will take quite some time to figure out just the basics, let alone more advanced stuff. But it's great fun and an awesome outlet for creative bouts, I feel like I've found my "thing" and I can't picture myself ever growing tired of it.. I have melodies and lyrics pouring out of my brain constantly wether I want it or not, and so I guess that I might as well go with the flow on this one, especially seeing as I really enjoy it. Now, if I could only learn how to sing as well. Heh.
Wish me luck on it, I've got a feeling that I might need it.
Attached is a short clip, a draft of a song I am currently making. Be warned, it's trance-ish.
"Why do you keep saying these things,
that you do not mean?
You're hurting everyone you love,
and now you're hurting me.
It's like you can't hold back when
things wont go your way
But if you can't turn this around..
Don't count on me to stay"
Three thoughts on the dozen.
I've got three thoughts to pass on to the universe today, out of which one is an honest question. Do not worry, it's not a long read. All is well.
Just as we all have the capacity to hate furiously, regardless of circumstance and beyond all reason.. so do we also have the capacity for love, as grand and unconditional as life itself. It's a mere choice of focus and perspective.
The mightiest weapon against violence and war is to see in every stranger's face not a potential enemy, but a potential friend.
Logically and practically – how can people be allowed to starve in a world of endless abundance? How can the mere idea or thought of it even exist in a system bound by no other limits than those we set ourselves? How can it be in the interest of anybody to own more than they can possibly consume and enjoy? What logical reason could there be to hoard resources you cannot and never will use, when it means other people will have to lead horrible lives because of it? What is the motivation? I cannot wrap my mind around this, I cannot understand. It simply does not compute.

Why not give God all I have? What do I think I have to lose? What am I saving it for?
3 types of givers:
Do I give like everything comes from God? What is my sacrifice? How is my lack of trust getting in the way of my faith?
The above came from a sermon preached several weeks ago. Funny how it seems to be about the annual feast celebrated here in the U.S.
When I think about giving my all to God, I seem to suffer from some sort of stupidity. Let me explain. I am well aware that God knows all, forgives me when I ask, freely guides me, bestows upon me grace untold and unheard of, yet there I am, trying to keep some things from Him. You know those things I'm not proud of; those foolish mistakes; the things I did on purpose being vengeful and full of anger; those things that sought to destroy and not build up. Those things I try to keep from God. I dare not give God those things. Yet at the same time I know that to be fully whole, washed clean, I must turn these things over to God. Ugh!!! Anyone ever feel like this? You think that if you give your mess over to God, God will stop loving you? That's what I mean about suffering from some sort of stupidity. I just stated that I know God forgives and gives grace yet here am I trying to keep something from Her. Oh my, what a mess.
I'm learning to give EVERYTHING to God. And I'm finding a new way to live: in peace. I can't imagine what I was saving this garbage for. Oh how great I feel now that I give all to God.

I would not bemoan this development from a food-lovers' standpoint, but it's a sad loss to the Bronson Canyon/East Hollywood Hills neighborhood. Victor's Liquor and Deli is closing at the end of the month. The sign posted in the window spells it all out, and the space is for lease. The plaque memorializing Victor Levy's dream looks very sad now.
The family-owned business has been around for many decades. There's also constant confusion with the OTHER Victor's next door, which is technically Victor's Restaurant, not Victor's Liquor and Delicatessen, and it's under separate ownership. (Don't know the backstory of the split there, though I certainly am curious. Citysearch comments reflect the ongoing confusion between the two businesses.) Current signage about the state of affairs at Victor's Square reinforce this divide.
Both Victor'ses share in common high prices, shabby decor that reflect a type of lazy and resigned management philosophy, and yet, a surprising neighborhood charm. I'll miss Victor's Deli. Too bad we won't be able to run down the hill for shockingly good chicken soup with huge fluffy matzo balls or peruse the small selection of great wines (this is where I first found out about Sean Thackery's Pleiades, a house favorite), which include some old dusty bottles of four-figure priced Lafite Rothschilds and Latours stashed in the 1970s-era faux wood Formica counter. I wonder where those will wind up, since there's no major fire sale planned.
Tonight we had our last take-out meal at home from Victor's. It consisted of just one pastrami sandwich with top-notch quality sweet meat. H actually ate it normal style, i.e. between the pieces of rye bread, while I siphoned off the excess meat and mixed it into a wild arugula and spinach salad with Fuji apple. Delish!
While we should pause to appreciate the past, let's look to the future. So, will an enterprising restaurateur PLEASE open up a lovely wine bar, or a sleek cafe, or something that's better than the mediocrity that lines this stretch of Franklin Avenue! (Leaf -- of all places -- is the only one I like.)
It's a space with potential that comes with a built-in customer base! Look at all those packed restaurants along the strip, like tre shitty La Poubelle, with its apropos name. Even Victor's Restaurant does strong business with its gross dirty ceilings, old ratty carpet, depressing decor and average food. This article sounds like it's describing about another place entirely.
The bar should be raised to honor Victor Levy's dream.

Food honorable mention
Honorable mention for this week's SunShots series "Food" goes to Ruth Schaefer for her picture of a little girl enjoying an ice cream cone at an event in Howard County. The photo was taken with a Canon XSi with a Tamron zoom lens. Here is a critique from Baltimore Sun director of photography Robert Hamilton: "It's hard to go wrong with cute kids and ice cream, a winning combination. My one criticism would be that with a shallower field of focus, the face of the youngster would have separated more from both the foreground and background making for a cleaner image."

It's another sign of the increasing education disparity between Rhode Island's affluent suburban towns and its economically challenged inner cities: the East Greenwich School Committee is considering getting every student at the high school an iPad, while in Central Falls, Pawtucket and Woonsocket students sometimes share textbooks, taking turns getting to take them home for assignments.
"I don't disagree with you that there should be a better statewide technology funding program," said East Greenwich School Committee Chairwoman Deidre Gifford.
Elliot Krieger, a spokesperson for the state Department of Education agreed. In a statement he said, "We are aware that at present not all students have equal access to technology; one goal of the Funding Formula for aid to education is to ensure that all school districts receive adequate funding to educate all students. The formula is phasing in over a ten-year span."
EG Supt. Victor Mercurio pitched the idea to the school committee last week after a visit to a school district in Burlington, VT that had successfully used iPads as educational tools. "We tried to show the school committee that students would engage more deeply than they would with a book," Mercurio told me.
The high school, recently named to Newsweek's list of top 1,000 in the nation, already has about 60 iPads for students to use and the middle school has about 20, Mercurio said.
But in inner-city school districts such as Central Falls, Woonsocket and Pawtucket they still rely on the old-fashioned textbooks. And sometimes there aren't enough of those to go around.
Central Falls Supt. Fran Gallo said in some instances students from multiple classes will share the same text books. Teachers, she said, will stagger homework assignments so that each class can take the textbooks home at different times during the semester.
"Is that an ideal situation, no," said Anna Cano Morales, the chairwoman of the board of trustees, the state-appointed school committee for Central Falls. "But … it allows us to be a little more creative in how we teach our students."
Woonsocket and Pawtucket implement similar textbook-sharing programs, said Stephen Robinson, an education lawyer who represents all three districts as well as Portsmouth and Tiverton.
"I would suggest to you that this is the poster child for why what Commissioner Gist calls the best funding formula in the world is a fraud," he said. "If it were equitable, every school district could, if not give every students an iPad, at least give them each textbooks."
While RIDE says it is attempting to remedy such inequities through the new funding formula, Woonsocket and Pawtucket, represented by Robinson, are suing the state. Robinson said ten years is too long to fix the funding formula that RIDE has already said didn't adequately compensate those and other communities.
"The problem with the funding formula," said Robinson, "is it's not fair to the poor urban districts. The reality is Woonsocket does not have fiscal capacity to fund [education]."
Central Falls has not had the fiscal capacity to fund education since the early 1990's when the state was forced to take over. Meanwhile, in upscale East Greenwich, the school committee is also considering offering Chinese and Arabic classes. Across the Bay in equally affluent Barrington, the school committee there is considering selling slots at its high performing public schools to those who can afford to pay tuition.
While districts like East Greenwich and Barrington, where property taxes can support high quality education, thrive and adapt and even perhaps profit, schools in the inner cities in between the suburbs aren't making ends meet. Providence has closed schools, and in Central Falls schools are under state control. Woonsocket identified a $10 million deficit in its school budget.

Washington State Traffic Safety Advocate
I have had a life-long interest in highway and auto safety issues.
It started when I was a small girl hanging out in the service department of myr grandfather's car dealership where I frequently saw accident-damaged vehicles. As a teenager I worked Saturday's at my father's insurance agency where, of course, automobile collisions where always a topic. And when a high school classmate died in a drunk driving crash my public safety zeal was solidified.
I guess it's not surprising that today, after a 15+ year career in the high-tech industry, would dedicate so much of my time to traffic safety advocacy. I am an active member of the Washington State chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and work as the director of operations for Davis Law Group--side-by-side with my husband in his civil litigation law practice fighting for the legal rights of injury victims and their families.
I am dedicated to working with Washington State officials to promote laws, policies and programs that prevent motor vehicle crashes, reduce injuries, and save lives.
Why I am MADD At Drunk Drivers
I was first touched by the impact of drunk driving when I was a teenager living in Kentucky and several of my high school classmates were injured and one killed in a drunk driving crash that took place shortly before graduation. A few short years later 27 people were killed by a drunk driver that crashed into a school bus in Kentucky. These tragic 'accidents' would have a profound impact one me.
When I learned just how big the drunk driving problem is in Washington State I felt called to take an active role in the effort to reduce impaired driving in my community. So I became a supporter of and active volunteer in the Washington State chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving MADD).
MADD Washington State Advisory Board Member
Mischelle Davis is one of the founding members the MADD Washington State Advisory Board. The state advisory board provides leadership and strategic guidance to MADD in Washington State. The board helps determine how to best implement programs and services to broaden MADD's operation and funding base and increase capacity through the building of partnerships in Washington State.

posted be sure to see that section on the right. If you want to send in a review
of your own feel free to do so at anytime. If you have any
questions, comments or complaints feel free to e-mail me at
Message Boards Are Up!
This time around we will be

1. Beck

3. Modern Day Zero
4. Kathleen Edwards
5. Prong
6. Fastway
7. Jah Root
8. Monet, Madrid, Madagascar
9. Chaos Order
Interviews with:
The Juliet Dagger, Mankind is Obsolete and Quiver of Jasper.
2005 Geffen Records
Grade: B+
Guero is Beck's follow up to 2002's widely successful
Sea Change. Unfortunately, it isn't as good as Beck
recordings from the past. I will wholeheartedly give him
respect for experimenting and trying new things in his
music and song writing styles; I just don't think he
really hit the mark with this effort. While the first
single "E-Pro" is a really good and catchy song, the
record really lacks in genius after the first track
completes. A couple other songs worth mentioning include,
"Que Onda Guero" and "Go it Alone."
is a variety of musical styles on this recording; a dash
of older folk/country mixed in with some Latin music and a
twist of the electronic side of Beck that most of us have
become used to.
Longtime fans probably won't be disappointed in Guero.
If you are just now discovering him I would highly
recommend Mellow Gold or Odelay first, but
it's your money.
Room Noises
2005 Warner/Reprise
Grade: B
Alternative Pop fans have a new group to embrace in the
band Eisley. After putting out two short recordings (EP)'s
in 2003, Room Noises is the full-length debut from
this band of siblings (and one friend) on Warner Brothers
Records. The songs are light on the ears and have been
well written, including good melodies and lyrics.
first single "Telescope Eyes" has gotten the band constant
airplay on both radio and TV and they have even been
dubbed by viewers of Fuse TV as one of the next big
things. (Fuse TV and Tower Records presents, The Next Big
Thing on Fuse). Check out the songs, "Lost at Sea,"
"Memories" and "Plenty of Paper".
truly expect this band to gain some momentum over the next
few years as they have already done some opening slots for
bands like Coldplay and New Found Glory.
If you
are a fan of groups like Sixpence Non The Richer, The
Pixies, The Cardigans or 10,000 Maniacs check out Eisley
I'm sure you will enjoy.
Modern Day Zero
Coming up for Air (Parental
2005 Bullet 339 Records
Grade: A
from the ashes of the bands Mesh and Mesh StL has risen
Modern Day Zero; a powerhouse of rock riffs and really
good songs. The band owns the rights to Bullet 339 Records
and has gone thru great lengths to get themselves seen and
heard around the world. One of the most impressive things
about them 'owning' themselves is that when you hear this
disc you know that these are songs that they like and want
to record. I must say they have a great taste in their own
music every song on this release is great.
have heard people tell me that they sound like Stone
Temple Pilots or The Exies, but to me they sound like
Modern Day Zero or MDZ to fans.
Their leadoff single "Sick Inside" is a killer up tempo
song with a catchy sing along chorus and other songs that
grab your ears are, "Broken," "Clear Day" and "Smother
Me." You may also recognize the song " Down" off of the video games NASCAR Thunder 2004 and
NHL 2004 (EA Sports).
The bottom line is that if you like music with a little
edge to it that isn't today's heavy metal, but more along
the lines of good rock then you should come up for air and
check out Modern Day Zero.
Note: Check back in the next issue for an interview with
Kathleen Edwards
Back to Me
2005 Rounder Records
Kathleen Edwards has been gaining momentum since her 2003
release Failure. She has found herself picking up
even more steam with the release of Back to Me. The
title track is just one of many songs worth listening to
and that could get tons of airplay all over the world.
"Good Things," "Copied Keys" and "Away" are all notable
songs that could end up getting pretty high on the charts
if they became singles.
you will find this disc in the country section it does
have more to offer along the lines of music variety.
Edwards has a great mix of folk, country and rock n roll
on this recording. I truly expect her to become one of
country music's next cross over favorites and see plenty
of commercial success in other genres of music.
Back To Top
1994 Sony
Grade: A
Cleansing was released in 1994 and
became Prong's most successful release to date. The band was
best known for an all out metal guitar assault on previous
recordings, but Cleansing saw the band take a big step
into other directions while still keeping the guitar riffs the
main focus of the songs. "Cut-Rate" is the only song on this
disc that's reminiscent to 'older' Prong. The single "Snap
Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck," is probably still the bands
best known song and showed the progression of this New York
trio from an outright thrash metal band to a band that could
sling out some killer (and heavy) grooves as well. Songs like
"Test," "Home Rule" and "Broken Peace" can be heard as a major
influence to bands like Korn, Helmet, White Zombie and a
countless list of others. Fans of any of the bands listed
above or even bands like Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails or Mudvayne
should take the chance to get gouged by Prong. Be sure to
check out other recordings from the band like Rude
Awakening, Primitive Origins and my personal favorite
Beg to Differ.
Scorpio Rising
2004 Locomotive
Grade: A-
Scorpio Rising is the rebirth of
Prong. Tommy Victor (guitar/vocals) the only original member
has brought the band back from the grave to deliver another
blow to the guitar metal world. This release shows an older
more matured Prong, but still contains the bands' trademark,
Victor's riffs. Songs like, "Regal," "Attached," and "Embrace
the Depth" are really good and keep you interested to hear
what will be coming up next.
While this c.d. isn't the best work that
Prong has ever done it is really good for a band that had
disappeared for almost eight years. If you have ever been a
fan of Prong or any other guitar driven music be sure to check
out Scorpio Rising.
Back To Top
We quick
journey back into the past and get a listen to Fastway.
Fastway 1983 Formatted for
CD in 1989
Sony Records
If you have
ever heard of this band then you know it was a 'super group'
of sorts being started by ex-Motorhead guitarist "Fast" Eddie
Clark, ex-UFO bassist Pete Way, ex-Humble Pie drummer Jerry
Shirley and singer Dave King. If you have ever seen the movie
Trick or Treat or heard the soundtrack to it then you have
heard Fastway. If you haven't heard of the movie or this band
until now then I have a treat for you.
"Easy Livin'",
"Another Day", "Heft!" and "Far, Far From Home" are all
amazing songs. This release doesn't have a bad spot on it at
all. It is a shame that the group didn't stick around or catch
any major type of fame in the 80's metal movement because they
had the riffs, the songs and the talent to do so. If you like
bands like Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, Ratt or The Darkness get
a hold of any and all Fastway recordings as soon as possible.
The band
didn't last long, but put out another good album after this
one called All Fired Up along with the soundtrack to
Trick or Treat. You can also get the first two albums
digitally remastered on one disc.
All of the
above c.d.'s can be bought new or used by going to
your local music sellers or at their respective webpages.

More Herbs for the Youth
2005 Unsigned
Grade: A-
Yes, the
name says it all. Jah Root is a reggae group that brings a
positive message and really good jams to the table. More
Herbs for the Youth is a 17-track disc that keeps the
music flowing and your body moving. The group mixes newer and
older styles of reggae music very nicely in this recording.
Tracks like "Give Praze," "Pleaze," "Wanna be Alone" and "Come
Wit Me" are all stand out songs. I myself haven't been into
reggae music a lot over the past few years, but from what I
have heard and stumble across in that time I will say that Jah
Root is a really really good band.
If you like
Bob Marley, Sublime, Peter Tosh or any other ska / reggae type
of stuff this is worth a listen. You can get a FREE copy of
the disc by contacting the band at their web site or by
emailing me and I will forward your request to them.
Madrid Madagascar
Madrid Madagascar 3-song Demo
2004 Unsigned
Madrid Madagascar is a rock band from Ohio that has been
logging the miles lately doing tours around America. I have
heard from more than a few people that have seen them live
that they are a highly energetic group to see in concert. I
have no doubt after hearing this 3-song demo that they
released in 2004.
The group
shows a varied style in their music, which reminds me of bands
like Fugazi, Bad Religion and many other hard rocking bands.
You can
download all three songs for free at the PureVolume site and
be sure to check the MySpace page to get info on when and
where they are playing next. Be sure to look them up, they are
worth the listen.
Chaos Order 3-song Demo
2005 Unsigned
this set of three songs will grab you by the ears and pummel
you. Chaos Order should put a little sticker on this demo that
says not for the squeamish. The singer reminds me a lot of
Phil from Pantera, and Super Joint Ritual, I'm not saying that
is a bad thing. He sure sounds better than someone churning
out vocals reminiscent of Boy George or Lenny Kravitz over
this style of music.
The bad
news is that there are just three songs, but the good news is
that the band will be recording a full-length c.d. this year
and I expect it to be blistering. If you like the bands
Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura or anything that is of that nature
check out Chaos Order. I'm not sure if this demo is available
for anything other than promotion and such, but contact the
band for more information and be sure to tell them that I sent
Back To Top
The Juliet
Who are you and what do you do in the band?
A. Erin - sing & play
guitar/song writer
Q. How did you come up with the
name the Juliet Dagger?
A. I've been obsessed with
Romeo & Juliet since I was about 12 years old...and I just
thought it was a cool references - kind of dark & creepy &
girlie all at the same time.
Q. Read any good books lately?
A. I wish I had the time - for
this tour I think I'm going to try to finish what I started on
the last tour - "I Know This Much Is True" by Wally Lamb...Leisha
(bass player) gave it to me last time we were on the road.
Q. Who are some of your
influences musically? Non-musically?
A. Musically...for me: Juliana
Hatfield, Weezer, Down By Law, Descendents, Samiam - for
Leisha: The Cure, Ani Difranco, Cursive - for Josh: The
Ramones, The Clash
Non-musically for me: my mom
Q. If you could be anyone
in world history who would you be? Why?
A. Joan of Arc - who wouldn't
want to talk to God - man I've got quite a few questions I'd
like answered :)
Q. What can we look forward to
at The Juliet Dagger's live show?
A. Hmmm... well I throw myself
around a bit & make bad jokes between songs & Josh strips down
to his underwear & spits straight up in the air, & Leisha
stares people down...other than that, a sweet set of catchy
Q. What are you listening to in
your home/car stereo?
A. I just got Tegan & Sara (So
Jealous) & I can't stop listening to it - soooooooooo good.
Is Obsolete
Q. Who are you
and what do you do in the band?
A. I am Jon Siren, and I am the
Q. How did you come up with the
name Mankind is Obsolete?
A. The name originally came out
from feeling completely apathetic towards humans in general. I
felt as if not only the people around me, but people around
the world were always being completely negative and selfish at
the expense of others. I really find the name to be a
challenge to not be that way for myself personally and for
others around me as well.
Q. Are there any plans for a
tour or any upcoming live performances?
A. Yes, we plan on touring for
two weeks this summer in July. Some possible other tours are
in the works as well. We are also doing a series of weekend
excursions where we will be playing around Southern
California, Arizona, and Nevada.
Q. Read any good
books lately?
A. Yes I have, a book called
"On The Record." This book has a series of interviews with the
same questions to different musicians, producers, etc. It is a
very inspiring book to listen to some of my favorite musicians
Q. What are some of your
influences musically? Non-musical?
A. I am influenced musically by
so many different musicians and styles. A few that come to
mind are Nine Inch Nails, Neurosis, Godflesh, WASP, Portishead,
Skinny Puppy, Switchblade Symphony, Depeche Mode, and The
Beatles. I like a lot of different bands for different
reasons. I am really influenced by my life growing up when it
comes to songwriting. I go back to the way I felt as a kid and
how the right music was the only thing I could truly connect
with. I really want to pass that on now because I know there
are others out there who feel this way.
Q. If you could be anyone in
world history who would you be? Why?
A. Well, that is a tough one. I
would really be one of my musical heroes, because they changed
my world at least. Maybe I would be Trent Reznor, because on a
musical/lyrical/vibe level, I feel like I really relate with
what he does and how he does it.
Q. What are you listening to in
your home/car stereo?
A. Currently, I have really
been digging the Dismantled cd "Postnuclear." I have been
listening to a lot of Slowdive, Miranda Sex Garden, and Eminem.
Note: To
read the review of the Mankind Is Obsolete c.d. called
Metamorph check out Issue 8.
of Jasper
Q. Who are you and what do you do in the band?
A. Jack Justice. I play guitar, sing the songs, pour
drinks, and
Grill the occasional chicken sometimes. I write the lyrics and
guitar parts.
PM Ramey. Drums, percussion, and hissy fits
Q. How did you come up with the name, Quiver of Jasper?
A. (Jack) I remember liking the way those two words sounded
together, so it stuck. I had been in a band called Buzzard
Skyline and the impact of the phonetics was so different. I
was sitting on a black leather couch back in college in the
summer of '94 when it hit me.
(Nick) NO CHOICE
Q. Are there any plans for a tour or any live shows coming
A. (Jack) There will be shows in Lexington KY and perhaps
Cincinnati throughout the summer. It you have electricity we
will play there.
Shows pop up randomly, so check in on our website.
(Nick) I'M PLANNING A LIQUOR STORE TOUR BEGINNING IN APRIL.
Q. Have you read any good books lately?
A. (Jack) I recently read Eric Burdon's autobiography. I am
into a collection of Robert Creely's short stories right now.
Good stuff.
(Nick) DOES HUSTLER COUNT? WHERE'S WALDO?
Q. Who are some of your influences both musically and
A. (Jack) Psychedelic rock like Moby Grape and 70's stuff
like Richard
Hell and the Voidoids. These days Wilco and Neil Michael
Hagerty are cool.
Can't forget the Replacements and Rolling Stones. I suppose
they made me want to write and play big nasty style. Most
anything influences me non-musically.
(Nick) ANYTHING I HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE. NON-MUSIC: H.H. HOLMES
(PMR) Favorite drummers include Max Roach and Ringo Starr.
Favorite musicians are Miles Davis, The Beatles, and Frank
Zappa. Non-musical influences are mainly friends and family.
Q. If you could be anyone in world history who would you
be? Why?
A. (PMR) If I was somebody else, would I end up being them
or would they end up being me?
(Nick) I WOULD BE 21 IN 1967 (IN CALIFORNIA)
(Jack) Picasso or Harry Reems. They seemed to be enjoying
Q. What are you listening to in you car/home stereo?
A. (Jack) I have Roland Kirk on the turntable and have been
going back and forth between NRBQ "at Yankee Stadium" and The
Kinks "Kinkdom" in the car.
(Nick) roAE
(PMR) Miles Davis "Seven Steps" (box highlights disc), Mothers
Invention "Weasels Ripped My Flesh", Jeff Beck "Wired",
Emmylou Harris "Anthology", Beatles "Rubber Soul" (US Mono
version), Wilco "A Ghost Is Born", Sly and the Family Stone
"Fresh", Cat Power "You Are Free", Millennium "Begin".
You can hear four live songs from Quiver of Jasper at their webpage.
Jack, K. Memphis, TN
Hey, I like how you have been adding
bands that aren't on record labels. Everybody has got to start
somewhere and I think it is really cool that you give them
some attention on this website.
Jack, Thanks a lot! I feel that a
ton of great bands never get to see the light of day, because
they don't get on a big record label or get much publicity. I
am really fortunate to have the chance to try and help get the
word out.
Sierra M. Normal, IL
I totally like that band Mankind is
Obsolete! Thanks for putting them on this page. I never would
have heard of them otherwise. Amazing singer and very cool
Sierra, I couldn't agree more.
Metamorph has to be one of the best c.d.'s I have ever heard
by a band that isn't on ANY record label at all. I hope you
checked back and enjoyed the interview with Jon.
Isaac K. Norfolk, VA
Thanks for including a good mix of music
in your writings. I dig how you include rock, alternative,
metal and even country music. I like all kinds of music and
this is the only music page or whatever I have found that has
a cornucopia of styles on it by one writer. Keep it coming and
I'll keep reading!
Isaac, Thanks for the kind words! I
am truly glad that you enjoy The Audio Nut, I myself like a
vast assortment of music and I try to make it something good
for readers and for myself as well.
Brock L.
Mobile, AL
up J Sohn? Hey I just wanna say I like the site and most of
the music you include in it. Is there anyway I can get on a
mailing list or newsletter thing or whatever so I can be
notified when a new issue comes out?
Brock, Thanks for your interest.
There is a section on the right hand side of the page that
says UPDATE ME all you have to do is click on there and send
me an email. I went ahead and added your email address to the
list and you will be informed when the new issue gets posted.
Amanda G. Santa Ana, CA
That new Queens of the Stone Age cd is
awesome. Anyone that likes them and hasn't gotten it yet
should get it NOW!! Did you know that some of the guys used to
be in the band Kyuss? Also, QOTSA puts out recordings called
The Desert Sessions, which feature all kinds of other
Amanda, Yes ma'am I do know about
Kyuss, I grew up listening to them and I am also very aware of
The Desert Sessions. I could be wrong, but I think they have
put out 10 releases of them so far. Some songs that have made
it on to QOTSA records have originally pen written and or
recorded during these sessions.

I have asked to Sony service stations for battery they told me that this phone is no longer available from Sony anymore after separating from Ericsson so now onwards no any spare parts will be provided by Sony for this model, including batteries.
so i have got installed battery of another make(ERD), with this battery phone is working well since one year.
I am a student

AnonD-222473, 08 Jan 2014i think buy to this one. it is wrong or correct. plz tall me anyone. thanksI used to own one, which is a free phone for starting a new plan a couple years ago, but I switched back to my old Motorola V3 RAZA after 3 weeks of using it (yes, I am an old school guy). First of all, the buttons on the SONY J105 are too tiny for me since I have big thumbs; I pressed 4 buttons at a time ! Another problems are including ringtone volume is not loud enough plus the vibration is too weak, which made me missing lots of calls when I was outdoor even I put it in my jean's pocket. The camera is good, even it has only 2M pixels. It is far better than I expected. The picture quality is far good enough for posting pictures on Facebook etc. However, I never figured out a logical way to find the pictures those I had taken or downloaded(copied) onto the phone or the memory card. All the pictures are somehow automatically arranged and located according to how the phone wants. That is, I kept on missing some pictures (not too many) I have taken and copied. I didn't know where they are stored, or actually not stored. They emphasise that the phone is made of recycling material. Yes, I am sure because the back cover curved after just one week of using the phone. It cannot tightly cover the back of the phone; there is a tiny slit anyway. I only opened it up about 3 times so far for replacing the SIM and microSD cards. Futhermore, the battery doesn't last long. I needed to charge it every second day, which is not supposed to be on a non-smart phone. I only need to charge the V3 RAZA every 5 days even 1 week ! My opinion is: it is very un-user-friendly in many ways. Unless you really need a very thin, small and light weight non-smart phone, and you have small fingers, otherwise don't take it.
