Huntsville/North Alabama Area MLS Observations: Real Estate Market July 2013
July sales improved by 1% to $166,655,993 vs. June at $164,576,927. This was up 19% from last year's $140,491,528. The twelve month moving average line on the total dollar sales chart is heading up. It is good to see robust sales in the beginning of the slower late summer season.
Total unit sales declined 2% to 939 in July vs. 961 in June, a decrease of 22. This was 14% better than last year at 824. (it is worth noting that we had a larger number of past month's reported sales than usual, resulting in changes in historical adjustments).
Our projections for ACRE and Brander Real Estate for 2013 called for 960 sales in July with actual results 2% under that, and year to date volume is 2% lower than our projection. See here http://goo.gl/nytW8 for an article sumarizing the projections. Here is the spreadsheet with month by month projections by area http://goo.gl/GEYWa (see the tabs on the bottom).
New sales decreased to 164 this month vs. 165 last month, down 1.
Used sales decreased to 775 this month vs. 795 last month, off 20 (Sect E p.3).
In-spite of increased sales, inventory levels remain stubbornly high. Used inventory levels remain high this month at 12 months (see the chart Sect C p.1), with the situation particularly challenged in the higher price ranges. Used homes over $400,000 have more than two years of inventory.
New home absorption is 8 months of inventory overall with last month at 11 months, and this has been climbing)(E-1). The New Home inventory level in the $300,000-$500,000 is approximately 5-6 months. (Not bad!).
There continue to be a large number of housing permits issued in Huntsville city given the market conditions. For June there were 98, down from 113 in May (chart on the web site).
Total Active listings decreased this month to 8,996 compared to last month's 9,736, and below last year at this time at 9,053, with the reduction exaggerated due to month-end expirations. (Sect A p.4 and Sect E p.3). The reduction in inventory is a positive thing, although as mentioned above, not as constructive as we might prefer. The inventory reduction has been good for the last 10 months; we are however seeing signs of a seasonal increase.
Active New listings decreased from 1,592 last month to 1,235 in July, down 357. (Sect E p.3). Active Used listings decreased from 8,144 last month to 7,761 this month, down 383 and slightly below last year's amount at this time of 7,768. (Sect E p.3).
Average Days on Market for Sold New homes was 162 vs. 148 days last month, with Used at 141 in July compared with 145 in June (Sect A p.18).
Average sales price for Sold New homes was $243,464 vs. $239,156 last month. (Sect A p.2)
Average sales price for Sold Used homes was $163,520 vs. $157,181 last month. (Sect A p.2)
The average price line for Used homes is going up. New home average prices seems to be showing positive direction as well.

Ram Close to Overtaking Chevrolet Silverado as the Second Highest-Selling Vehicle in the U.S.
The sales gap between the Ram brand and Silverado vehicles is less than 4%
May hasn't been the best month so far for the Ram brand of pickup trucks. FCA recently recalled 1.25 million Ram truck models built between 2013 and 2016 due to a safety-related error, and the U.S. Government just filed a lawsuit against FCA for allegedly tampering with emission levels during the testing of 104,000 diesel-based vehicles, many of which were Ram 1500 models.
Nevertheless, if April sales are any indication, then Ram might soon have something to celebrate this month. Namely, the Ram pickup truck is on course to overtake the Chevrolet Silverado as the second highest-selling vehicle in the country.
For years, the Chevy Silverado has securely held its spot as not only the second highest-selling pickup on the market, but the second highest-selling vehicle in the U.S. market overall, behind only the Ford F-Series. However, sales for the Chevrolet Silverado have been on a rapid decline in 2017. In fact, Ram outsold the Chevrolet truck model for the past two consecutive sales months.
The Silverado suffered major sales losses last month. Only 40,154 Silverado models were sold in April, a massive 19.7% sales decrease when compared to the 49,990 units sold in April of 2016.
Meanwhile, sales have only been growing for Ram throughout 2017. Last month, Ram sold 43,421 pickup units, a 7.6% sales increase compared to this time last year.
Year-to-date, Chevrolet is still slightly ahead, with 168,621 Silverado units sold. However, Ram is quickly closing the gap between it and the Silverado, with 162,520 Ram pickups sold so far in 2017.
The sales trajectories for the two brands could not mirror each other any better. While Silverado sales are down 5.8%, Ram sales are up 5.8%.
If Ram stays the course on its current sales trajectory, then it could very well overtake the Silverado as the second highest-selling vehicle in the market. Still, Ram is nowhere near the top fish in the pickup pond. That honor belongs to the Ford F-Series.
So far this year, the F-Series has sold 275,938 units. This accounts for an impressive 7.4% increase in sales compared to 2016, where it remained the best-selling vehicle on American roads.
GM's other truck models are also on the decline. GMC Sierra sales are down 6.2% so far this year, while the Colorado has suffered a sales decrease of 4.3%.

This conference is the first in a series of biennial events presented by the Big Lottery Fund in collaboration with the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families.
HeadStart is a five-year National Lottery funded programme set up by the Big Lottery Fund to give young people aged 10- to 16-years-old the tools they need to overcome life's challenges and prevent serious mental-health issues from developing. Six local authority led HeadStart partnerships based in Blackpool, Cornwall, Hull, Kent, Newham and Wolverhampton are designing new approaches to providing support when and where it is needed, focusing on developing young people's emotional resilience from an early age.
The Evidence Based Practice Unit (Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and UCL) is working with Big Lottery Fund and the HeadStart partnerships to collect and evaluate evidence about what does and doesn't work locally to benefit young people now and in the future.
The conference warmly invites professionals from research and delivery/commissioning backgrounds to come together at a crucial time in children's mental health support and research to collaborate. It is an opportunity to hear emerging learning from the six HeadStart partnerships based around England alongside international learning from pre-eminent key note speakers from the field of resilience research; Professor Ann Masten, Professor Michael Ungar and Professor Sir Michael Rutter.The event will cover
With our keynote speakers we will take stock and explore the state of resilience research today; what progress has been made, contemporary context, and what we have left to tackle. We will hear emerging learning from HeadStart partnerships (e.g. learning on co-production with young people), and we will also challenge an expert panel of researchers, practitioners and importantly, young people to help us consider how best to place young people at the centre of mental health provision for young people.
Who is this event suitable for?
The aim is to help bridge research and practice by bringing cutting edge researchers, commissioners, policy makers and service developers together to discuss key issues. We would like to encourage professionals from both delivery, commissioning and research backgrounds to attend.

If your photographer has not yet worked at the location of your wedding or event, then part of the planning with your photographer should consist of a site check - ideally, together. There are times when this is not possible, especially for events which require travel, and I will touch on this as well.
Many of the weddings and events I photograph are at private estates, which serves as a perfect example: since I am not yet familiar with the interior or exterior surroundings, I'll want to learn as much as I can about the space prior to working there. What directions are each room and the yards facing during certain times of the day? If I'm able to do a Site Check, seeing in person how the light and the surroundings reflect off each other is invaluable. Aside from being able to plan for natural light, it's equally important to plan for artificial light - especially if we need to go to Plan B because of inclement weather - so knowing where to plug in, options for accessibility, space, background, etc. is important. In older or historic homes, I'll go to the extent of plugging in my phone charger to test an unused outlet that is located in an area we'd like to consider for photos. The more I learn and understand about where I am shooting, the more free I feel to think and plan ahead, both logistically and creatively.
On quite a few occasions in my career, a Site Check was simply not an option. Here are some food for thought regarding Site Reviews with your photographer:
1. A-good-old-fashioned Map: Send a Google Map link to your photographer, this way it can be viewed both Standard and Satellite. On the phone, review the geography and any necessary details. If at a venue, review their web site together as well.
2. Facetime or Google Hangouts: agree on a time of day that coincides with your wedding or event timeline so you can do a virtual walk-through with your photographer. Although we are used to holding our phone vertically, I suggest holding horizontally for this purpose.
3. If they haven't automatically offered, ask your photographer to arrive early to your wedding or event. In my opinion, this should NOT be considered a part of your "coverage" (if you've contracted your photographer for 8 hours, and early arrival requires an additional 1-2 hours, I believe you should not be charged for that additional time, as it's part of the planning process – and if we happen to snap a few photos, it's just icing on the cake).
If we as your photographer have already worked at the location, it is likely unnecessary to do a site check, as long as we have solid and consistent communication during your planning process. That said, I recently did a site check at a venue where I've shot 4 weddings, but the last wedding was over 10 years ago – so visiting there refreshed my memory and there were some additions to their garden, which was helpful to see in person. Also, it gave me an excuse to meet my client and their parents, which makes them happy and more comfortable with me – so even though I didn't "need" to do a site check, doing so was a win-win for all of us.
Email me anytime for topic suggestions and feel free to comment, ask questions and share. Thanks for reading!
Peace, Love & Happy Planning,
Dana Siles

A total of 132 Soldiers of The Gambia Armed Force (GAF) who graduated from a pre-deployment training programme on Friday will be deployed to the Sudanese trouble region of Darfur, next month.
The graduation which was conducted at the GAF training school at Fajara Barracks, marks the end of the pre-deployment training for the preparation of Gamcoy 22 for their deployment to Darfur.
Deputy Army chief Yankuba Drammeh said the officers underwent a six-week training session to equip them both mentally and physically for the mission they are about to embark on in Darfur. "You are going to Darfur to give hope to the hopeless and provide humanitarian assistance to the desperate people of Darfur," he said.
Deputy CDS Drammeh said scriptures have stated that "happy are those who work for peace, for God will call them his children." He said that it is a noble gesture to give a helping hand to people in hostile zone. "Be proud to be a helper to the desperate and be ready to stand for the truth and help the needy," he said.
He added that the soldiers were subjected to pre-deployment training to learn the dos and the don'ts. He said many were called at the initial stage of the training but only few succeeded and will be representing the GAF and the country at large in Darfur.
"Continue to work hard in order to keep The Gambian flag high as records shows that our officers have being doing good when it comes to peace keeping missions," he said.
According to him, Armed Force is a noble institution even in the eyes of God, advising the graduates to respect the culture and tradition of the people they are going to meet in Sudan.
British High Commissioner Sharon Wuardle said the pre-deployment training is the professional way of preparing individuals before assuming responsibilities. "GAF's good repetition cannot be outlined. You have been showing professionalism in all your peace keeping missions," she said.
Lieutenant Paul Gomez, commander of the GAF training school said the six-week training session was meant to shape the officers who will be living for Darfur. "We always maintain the good repetition of the GAF because of the pre-training that the officers underwent the training have been exposed to all areas that they need to know before embarking on the mission," he said.
He said the situation in Darfur is unpredictable and urged the officers to be vigilant and work as a family and to be each other's keeper.

Doctor of Law (honorary), Clark University, (1950)
International Psychoanalytical Association, (1927-1934)
Vienna Psychoanalytical Training Institute, (1935-1938)
The Hampstead War Nursery, (1941-1945)
The Hampstead Child Therapy Clinic, (1952-1982)
Career Focus: Child psychoanalysis; ego psychology; childhood development; developmental psychology.
Anna Freud was born December 3, 1895 in Vienna, Austria. As the daughter of Sigmund Freud, she was inescapably steeped in the psychoanalytic theories of her famous father; however, she did more than simply live in his shadow, pioneering the field of child psychoanalysis and extending the concept of defense mechanisms to develop ego psychology.
After finishing her secondary education in 1912 at Cottage Lyceum in Vienna, she completed teachers' training and worked at her alma mater as a classroom teacher for five years. Of her school years she declared that she learned far more at home from her father and his guests. Indeed, she acquired a knowledge of psychoanalysis from this group to which few others had access, and this grounded her life-long contributions to the field.
While teaching at Lyceum, Anna Freud's father began psychoanalysing her--unorthodox by our standards yet hardly anomalous for the times--thus propelling her into the family profession. She presented the results of this psychoanalysis, Beating Fantasies and Daydreams, to the Vienna Psychoanalytical Society in 1922. In 1923, she began her own psychoanalytic practice with children and her work in this field began in earnest. By 1925, she was established as an instructor at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Training Institute.
Between 1927 and 1934, she was Secretary of the International Psychoanalytical Association, and in 1935 published her best-known work, The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense. In it, she pinpointed repression as the principle defense mechanism, and argued that the ego was key in the resolution of conflict and tension. In focusing on ego functions, she distinguished her work from her father's by moving away from the traditional thinking around drive theory, thus establishing herself as pioneer and theorist in her own right. During this time she, along with lifelong friend and collaborator Dorothy Burlingham-Tiffany and Eva Rosenfeld, founded the Hietzing School. This school was their attempt to create a more holistic educational curriculum informed by psychoanalytic principles.
When the Nazi threat became untenable in 1938, the Freud family was forced to leave Austria. Freud organized their emigration to London and while continuing her work, looked after her father until his death in September 1939. Her early years in London included a conflict with fellow psychoanalyst Melanie Klein, a seminal episode (referred to as the ''controversial discussions'') in this rather insular circle. Their divergent theories triggered a three-way split in the British Psychoanalytical Society--Kleinian, Anna Freudian, and Independent--that persists to this day.
At the onset of WWII, Freud opened The Hampstead War Nursery for children left homeless, and often parentless, from the conflict. This allowed her to document the impact of stress and separation on children, which she published along with Dorothy Burlingham. The Hampstead Nursery closed at the war's end, and in 1952 Freud established the Hampstead Child Therapy Course and Clinic, serving as director. Although she never had formal scientific training, she nonetheless declared that to be a good psychoanalyst, one must ''have a great love of the truth, scientific truth as well as personal truth, and...place this appreciation of truth higher than any discomfort at meeting unpleasant facts. ''
In 1965 she published Normality and Pathology in Childhood, a blueprint for the work she would undertake during the last part of her life. In it she crystallized years of thinking into the hypothesis that children go through normal developmental stages against which everyone can be assessed, and that this capacity to develop is the key component of the diagnostic process. At a time when symptoms were the diagnostic focus, this new regard for age-and therefore developmental phases-was revolutionary and still resonates in child development practices today. It was in this piece that she introduced the concept of developmental lines, in effect steps in a child's developmental progress that lead to the development of personality and that involve the interaction between internal forces (id, ego) and external forces (the environment). Her faith in the capacity to develop was evident in her belief that ''creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training.''
In the 1970s, she became interested in the difficulties suffered by emotionally deprived and disadvantaged children, leading her to pursue more concerted study of these difficulties. She also continued to serve as director of the Hampstead Child Therapy Course and Clinic until she died. Although she never pursued doctoral training, she received several honorary doctorates from American universities, where she travelled regularly to give lectures, as well as an honorary doctorate from the University of Vienna. She was also named Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
The details of Anna Freud's personal life are consistently cryptic, but that her father was the only man in her life long-term is certain. Letters between her and Eva Rosenfeld during the Vienna years are a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of the very private Anna. According to contributor Gunter Bittner, the letters ''convey the picture of an affectionate, intensely human Anna Freud without a trace of rigidity or psychoanalytic orthodoxy. Here...is a shy young woman of deep feeling. '' Indeed she said of herself, ''I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.''
Anna Freud died on October 9, 1982 at the age of 86 at her London home. A tribute published in the New York Times following her death, noted that ''Freud virtually invented the systematic study of the emotional and mental life of the child and elaborated on it in 50 years of observation, discussion and writing.'' She stepped out from beneath her father's very long shadow to make her own very substantial mark upon the field of psychoanalysis, but always remained loyal to his memory and determined to secure his legacy. Upon her death, the Freud family home became a museum dedicated to him.

SAFE-ICE: promoting and mapping initiatives for a low-carbon economy
The SAFE-ICE cluster aimed to combine the results and learnings from 10 Interreg projects focusing on the transition towards a low-carbon economy. Including both public and private stakeholders, the project highlighted best practices as to research, innovation and business support.
" The SAFE ICE Cluster has demonstrated that 20 partners from four European countries, speaking different languages, are able to join forces in an important common challenge, the transition to a low carbon economy. "
Carried out under the Interreg IVA 2-Seas programme, SAFE-ICE covered coastal regions in no less than four EU Member States: the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The cluster brought together 10 formal partners and 10 associated partners from the Business, Policy, Research and Community sector (Quadruple-Helix structure). The ultimate goal was to address the EU Horizon 2020 objectives.
Carried out in two phases
Having a special focus on businesses and SMEs, the project was divided into two phases. Phase 1 was designed to consolidate the findings from the various projects, with Expert Working groups identifying opportunities, gaps and barriers in four key areas: 1) Individual businesses and buildings, 2) Business-to-business relationships, 3) Business Park development and management, 4) Policy and market conditions (Overarching group).
Phase 2 was conducted in Work packages, focusing on five critical areas for future development and how we can reach a low-carbon economy despite adverse policies and austerity measures following the financial crisis: 1) Business Park Sustainable Management Plans, 2) Community Heat Systems and Heat Maps, 3) Procurement and demand for Low-carbon Goods and Services, 4) Resource Efficiency: Effective Instruments for Business Change, 5) Routes to Market and Embedding the Low-carbon Economy.
Comprehensive results for continuous development
On a general level, the activities enabled the cluster to capitalize on the expertise and experience from the projects involved, creating a significant pool of best-practices and generating actions and synergies that impact positively on the mobilisation of investments in energy efficiency. It was noted that, whereas there are many good examples, these need to be more wide-spread, and policies must be complemented by more innovation, research and business support. The cluster project has resulted in a significantly closer cooperation between public and private stakeholders in the 2-Seas region.
Total investment and EU funding
Total investment for the project "SAFE-ICE" is EUR 616 989, of which the EU's European Regional Development Fund is contributing EUR 616 989 from the Operational Programme "Interreg IVA 2 Seas" for the 2007 to 2013 programming period.

Jessie's Wedding | Denver Wedding Hairstylist | Wedding Updo Specialist
Jessie's Wedding
Gorgeous doesn't even cut it when it comes to this rustic wedding. With ringing bells and cowboy boots, these two became husband and wife.
The Hudson Gardens Event Center played host for this amazing outdoor wedding in July, and I can't get enough! No need to fret, there is plenty of inspiration to go around!
As I followed my mothers footsteps and became a hairstylist of my own, it was common to pass clients between the two of us. That is when I came in contact with Jess, a family friend, who had asked me to recreate the style she had in-visioned on her wedding day.
"Preslee did a trial for my updo a few weeks prior to my wedding. I came to her with a lot of different ideas, not too sure of what I wanted. I showed her a ton of pictures and told her what I liked most from each picture. She captured everything that I wanted, and my hair came out even better than I could have imagined. On my wedding day she did the exact same updo from the trial, capturing the overall look I really wanted to achieve. I am so glad that she was able to make me feel my best on my wedding day!" - Jessica R.
A messy updo with a braid for texture couldn't have been more perfect for this Mrs. to be!
On a side note... can I borrow those boots?
Can you say CUTE!

Isaiah 53:10
Thursday, July 29, 2010
Isaiah 53:8
Sunday, July 18, 2010
Genesis 39:20-23
Genesis 39:20-23
And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
a. An interesting fact in this is that Potiphar himself was in charge of this prison.
1). Genesis 40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
b. Not only that but "the keeper of the prison" who undoubtedly was under Potiphar gave Joseph the charge of all the prisoners in the prison. Why Potiphar did not make it horribly bad for Joseph when he could have perhaps says something. Jewish tradition and some conservative Christian writers have written that its possible that Potiphar knew that Joseph was innocent but to save face had Joseph thrown in prison, but purposely made it as easy as possible for him. Joseph was in prison for at least two years but probably more, the Biblical record really does not say. I tend to lean that he was in Potiphars house for about ten years and in prison for three years.
1. Joseph was around 17 when he was taken into slavery into Egypt. Genesis 37:1-36. Since Joseph was born before Jacob left Haran, Jacob had been back in Caanan less than 17 years before Joseph was sold into slavery.
a. Genesis 37:2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
b. When he was promoted to Prime Minister of Egypt, he was thirty.
1). Genesis 41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
2. Other time line events.
a. Jacob was 130 years old when he came down to Egypt.
1). Genesis 47:8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
b. Jacob was 60 years younger than his father Isaac.
1). Genesis 25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
c. . When Isaac died at 180, Jacob was 120 .
1). Genesis 35:27-29 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
2). Doing the math that means Jacob was 120 years old at his father's death, and if Jacob was 130 when he went down to Egypt, that means Joseph had been in Egypt for about 3 years when Isaac died. Jacob was about 107 or 108 when Joseph was sold into slavery and Isaac was about 177.

Dozens at JSU Day at the Capitol on Thursday were delighted the state Senate recently passed an $8.5 million bond bill to renovate Stewart Hall and that action is planned to offset a decrease in Ayers funding and add HBCU representation on the College Board of the Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL).
Several state Democratic and Republican lawmakers met with Jackson State University President William B. Bynum Jr. at the event organized by the Jackson State University National Alumni Association (JSUNAA).
Elected officials assured Bynum of their support of the urban institution's legislative agenda. Some legislators also mentioned the four impending vacancies on the College Board and have petitioned Gov. Phil Bryant on JSU's behalf.BYNUM said, "JSU Day at the Capitol is all about making sure that we recognize the city's only public urban research university." Referencing to the school's colors, he said, "It's extremely important for folks to see all this blue and white to remind them that we are an important part of this city and state. We are very thankful for the resources lawmakers have provided in the past, present and what they'll do in the future."
"We're here to say we're going to be good stewards of the appropriation. With additional resources and investment in Jackson State, you'll see us enhance the city of Jackson and the state of Mississippi."
Yolanda Owens, president of the JSUNAA, was eager to put JSU in the spotlight.
"We knew we needed to get back to the Capitol after not having this event for a couple years. So, we were excited to be part of revitalizing JSU Day at the Capitol. We got a chance to speak to several senators and representatives. Everyone was supportive that we're here," Owens said.FURTHERMORE, Owens said, "We know housing is a major issue, and there are four openings coming up on the IHL board. We are working diligently to make sure that at least one of the public HBCUs in the state is represented on the board. … We are working with our legislators and the political action team with the alumni association to make sure we have viable candidates that we can present to the governor," she said.
GOP state Sen. Josh Harkins, chairman of the Universities and Colleges Committee, said, "I welcome the opportunity to work with Dr. Bynum. He's done a great job in his role prior to coming to JSU. I know he'll continue doing a great job at JSU."
JSU officials have submitted three legislative requests to enhance the university's ability in serving the community:
- $3.28 million is being requested to sustain staffing and operations for the School of Public Health, including a partnership with the University of Mississippi Medical Center and other health-care entities to combat health threats.
- $8.5 million is sought for Stewart Hall renovation that when completed will provide 190 additional spaces for males on campus. Quoting research, JSU says this is especially important because students who reside on campus are far more likely to graduate than those who live off campus.
- $12.5 million is eyed for expanding the College of Education and Human Development into Jackson Public Schools and throughout the state. JSU seeks to modernize and expand into a state-of-the-art facility for its 2,500 majors.
"It's not acceptable for students to be in non-owned housing by the university or private housing. Our students need to be in JSU-owned property," Fillingane said. "There's also a second piece of language that repurposes some additional dollars that had previously been designated or earmarked for certain projects at JSU."
Democratic state Sen. David Blount, chairman of the Senate Public Property Committee, explained the financial quagmire that JSU faces.
"Ayers funding is fading out," said Blount, acknowledging that JSU faces a "cut on top of a cut" because a recent budget bill that the Senate passed already calls for a slice in appropriations. In my opinion that's short-sighted," he said. "The cut is more severe if you've been getting Ayers funding. This is something that all of us are working on."AS property chairman, Blount said he's especially interested in structural buildings on all college campuses.
"I'm on Jackson State's campus regularly, and the Stewart Hall project is in the bond bill that passed the Senate. … The bill does include money for Stewart Hall," he said.
The issue of HBCU representation on the IHL College Board has widespread support from the Black Legislative Caucus and bipartisan endorsement from colleagues in both chambers.
Democratic state Sen. John Horhn, a JSU alum, said, "We have a good chance to get a public HBCU graduate on the board, and it may be from Jackson State."
He said the university's presence was felt inside the Capitol and told the crowd that "we want you to know that this important university is doing great work, and it has a very critical role that it continues to play in our capital city."
Harkins added, "I'm going to work with Dr. (Glenn) Boyce to make sure we get across to these new members that while everybody comes from somewhere that you first check your colors in at the door." As well, he said, "This is about our state, the survivability, the well-being of all institutions whether you went to (Mississippi) State, Ole Miss, Jackson State, Alcorn, Delta State, the W, wherever. We are about making our institutions of higher learning successful."
Democratic state Rep. Christopher Bell, another JSU alum, echoed sentiments about the importance of JSU's success.
"Jackson State is in my heart. We are fighting for our people. Education is first and foremost. We can't have a workforce that's uneducated. … We are the state that's on the bottom for most everything that's good. My goal is to change that. We can't have significant change in a direction unless you have support from the leadership. One thing we're doing is helping them understand the plight of our people."
Bell was among several African-American state Democratic lawmakers who addressed Bynum, JSU alum and other supporters. Sen. Sollie B. Norwood, Sen. Derrick Simmons and Rep. Angela Cockerham all vowed to continue being strong advocates for their alma mater. They also plan to nudge Bryant as JSU seeks IHL board representation.VERONICA Cohen, vice president of JSU's Institutional Advancement and External Affairs, knows the relevance of Jackson State as an urban research institution. She said it's vital that supporters show up in force at the state Capitol.
Cohen said, "It's also important that they know who we are and what we stand for because we have a great university, and we need funds from the state to continue producing great results."
Although the path ahead isn't easy, she expresses strong optimism about JSU's lobbying efforts.
"We're getting ready to step down from Ayers funding, so we have to petition the legislators that we need to cover those funds … and we're looking for funds to renovate one of our residential halls," Cohen said.
"Overall, JSU Day at the Capitol was a huge success, with more than 160 people. Our alumni gathered in massive numbers, along with legislators. Everything is for our students – from what we do in Institutional Advancement to branding to raising funds. Legislators have been very impressed with our presence."
Also, Cohen said several JSU faculty, staff and students showcased their respective areas. The groups were Alumni Relations; School of Public Health; College of Education and Human Development; and College of Science, Engineering and Technology. As well, the JSU Jazz Ensemble performed.
Jerry Zigler, a 2007 graduate of JSU, is a southeast region board member for JSUNAA. He's also president of the Metro Charlotte Alumni Chapter. The visit to the state Capitol was a first for him.
"It's really been a good experience to hear from some of the senators and learn of their support of Jackson State University. I would like to see all alums get involved on a local and national level and stay actively engaged with the university. By doing so, alumni will always know what's going on and how they can be of help to the university or local chapter.
Meanwhile, one student said it was also his first visit to the Capitol and described it as an "overwhelming experience."
Corey Shaw, a Jackson native and senior elementary education major, said, "It's mind-blowing to be face to face with senators and representatives and see all the decisions involved with their jobs."SHAW raised a question to one of the lawmakers about student testing in Mississippi, wondering whether Mississippi studies data from other states for the best approach to measuring students' aptitude. He noted that testing in Texas, for example, shows different results than Mississippi. "Texas exposes students to subjects earlier than Mississippi," he said.
Harkins confirmed that while Mississippi studies data from counterparts, he believes the Magnolia state has performed well by pushing up graduation rates to the national level and helping third-graders improve their reading skills.
After the huge JSU display, JSUNAA's Owens thanked administrators, students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends for supporting JSU Day at the Capitol.
"We all came together for one purpose, and that's our love for Jackson State. The best is yet to come for Jackson State," she said.

Redeeming Life,
We're starting a 4-week series that will take us through the book of Jonah. It's a remarkable book. You can read all four chapters in very little time; but I should warn you, these chapters are packed. There's a hard calling, disobedience, the sovereignty of God, worship, grumbling, and the the most amazing revival the world has ever seen.
Jonah is an interesting guy, not because he's so amazing, but that he looks a little too much like us. He has a call but he doesn't want to obey. He's lazy. He's a grumbler. He thinks he knows better than God. He's self-absorbed. And he really struggles to love the people God loves.
This book reminds us that it's better for us to say yes when God calls. It's better for us to serve with joy when God allows us to take part in his mission. And we see that no matter how disobedient we become, God is still there. We can't run away from him.
We'll also see that his will is done and often in unique and unpredictable ways.
Take the mariners for example. They were doing their thing, headed to Tarshish when a lazy stranger buys passage aboard their ship. When a serious storm hit, maybe the most serious of their lives, they cried out to their various false gods. Afraid of death, they found the one guy who can tell them about the Lord of Salvation sleeping, caring only for himself. After they woke him, Jonah explained that he was trying to outrun God. Jonah asked that they throw him overboard and end his life. The mariners were afraid but after praying that God would forgive them of this sin, they did it. The storm stopped, the mariners saw the hand of God, and praised the Lord. They made vows to God and believed. Even in Jonah's disobedience, God's message was proclaimed and lost people were saved. God used Jonah's attempt to run to save people. God is remarkably sovereign.
Many of us have a call to proclaim the gospel to the lost people of Salt Lake, specifically the west side of Salt Lake. Many of us are like Jonah. We're lazy. We try to run. We are self-absorbed. We are more likely to make excuses than to obey. And we struggle to love the lost people God loves.
Church, it's my prayer that God will speak to us through this series in the book of Jonah. I know he's already working on my heart. I see the ways I've been making excuses (our way we run from God and his call), but I'm also seeing the sovereignty of God.
I hope you'll join us for this series, starting July 12th.
Soli Deo gloria!
Pastor Bryan

I was doing some research online about dating. I'm on this inner-mission to get into people's heads to learn what and how they think of dating. This one poster mentioned that she feels its difficult to form any kind of connection with someone if your only speaking or texting with them 1 time a week or less. But I also get the feeling that if its a situation of casual dating, then the interaction is not expected as often.
I have to say…that does make sense to me. Granted we all have busy lives nowadays and don't have much time for anything (well that does depend on the priority) but most of us don't interact as often as, say we did when we were younger with less responsibilities.
But I myself could make more time to reach out to people so I know it is possible if you really want to…again, depends on your priorities. And I, personally would like to hear a voice now and then. Not just words on a screen.
How do you get to know someone. You spend time, right? Either talking or hanging out, right? There has to be some interaction on a regular basis, wouldn't you say? How do you find out if your compatible with that person?
I see this guy every morning on my way to work, he speaks to me every day. I probably have more interaction with him than I do with someone else I'm interested in. Hmmmm…I just had a thought. LOL
Dating tip #1
Regular interaction is needed to make and keep a connection. How often and how you interact can be decided together.

The Rottweilers' behaviour varies greatly when it comes to children handling. When they are brought up together it's essentially ok with a child although due to its massiveness and untamed power it can hurt him or her unintentionally during the play. It is advisable to wait until children are 6 or older before acquiring such a serious dog.
The dog possesses a powerful prey drive and it may never tolerate even a home pet with which it has been raised. Some issues can as well arise with dog's attitude towards other canines. Specifically, the Rottweiler is harsh with strange dogs intruding its domain. The breed gets along best with its fellow of opposite sex or an offspring, which it knows all its life.
If you are prepared to invest substantial amount of time and efforts in obedience training and socialisation you can raise an exceptionally loyal friend and fearless guardian.

After all, new homes come with them already installed and many communities have laws that require them to be installed. What about a carbon monoxide detector? Do you have any installed in your home? Do you need one? The importance of having a carbon monoxide detector is often underestimated or simply forgotten by many parents. Unfortunately, carbon monoxide sources, such as furnaces, generators, and gas heaters, are common in homes and can put your family at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning. In fact, the CDC reports that over 15,000 people each year are treated in emergency rooms for non-fire related carbon monoxide exposures. And an average of about 500 people die each year from non-fire related carbon monoxide exposures. The CDC also reports that common sources of carbon monoxide exposure include: Oil and gas furnacesMotor vehiclesStove/Gas rangeGas line leaksGas water heatersGeneratorsSpace heaters So you should definitely have a carbon monoxide detector in your home if you have any appliances that are not electric and that burn natural or liquefied petroleum gas, oil, wood, coal, or other fuels, or if you have a home with an attached garage. Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning These guidelines from the CDC can help you avoid exposing your family to carbon monoxide: Have your heating system, water heater, and any other gas, oil, or coal burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year.Install a battery-operated CO detector in your home and check or replace the battery when you change the time on your clocks each spring and fall.If your CO detector sounds, evacuate your home immediately and telephone 911.Seek prompt medical attention if you suspect CO poisoning and are feeling dizzy, light-headed, or nauseated.Do not use a generator, charcoal grill, camp stove, or other gasoline or charcoal-burning device inside your home, basement, or garage or near a window.Do not run a car or truck inside a garage attached to your house, even if you leave the door open.Do not burn anything in a stove or fireplace that is not vented.Do not heat your house with a gas oven. Symptoms of CO Exposure Depending on the degree of exposure, carbon monoxide can cause the following symptoms: HeadacheDizzinessNauseaWeaknessVomitingLoss of consciousnessShortness of breathLight-headednessSleepinessLoss of muscle controlChest tightnessConfusionBlurred vision Remember that carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, so without a CO detector, it can build up in your home without your knowledge. Buy a CO Detector According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, you should install a CO detector/alarm that meets the requirements of the current UL standard 2034 or the requirements of the IAS 6-96 standard. Install a CO detector/alarm in the hallway near every separate sleeping area of the home. Make sure the detector cannot be covered up by furniture or draperies. Here is a sampling of carbon monoxide detectors that are available.

This is another quick and easy dinner that originally came from Cooking Light. I love that this recipe makes either a 13 x 9 casserole dish or two 9 x 9 casserole dishes. For just my hubby & me, I can make the two 9 x 9's and have dinner for that night, as well as freeze one for an easy dinner another night! You can serve the casserole with a salad and tortilla chips and guacamole to round out the meal. For me, this dish hits the spot as a satisfying comfort food.
1 1/3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 cup canned chopped green chilies, drained
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup fat-free sour cream
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 (10 ½ oz) cans condensed 98% fat-free, low sodium cream of chicken soup
1 garlic clove, minced
Cooking spray
1 package of flour tortillas
4 cups shredded cooked chicken breast-about 1 pound
2 cups finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
2. Combine chicken broth, green chilies, onion, sour cream, salt, cumin, pepper, cream of chicken soup & garlic in a large saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
3. Spread 1-cup soup mixture in a 13x9 inch-baking dish or two 9x9 baking dishes coated with cooking spray. Arrange a layer of tortillas over the soup mixture, and top with 1-cup chicken and ½ cup cheese. Repeat layers, ending with the cheese. Spread remaining soup mixture over the cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 min. or until bubbly.
*If you assemble the casserole the day before, cover with cooking spray-coated foil. When ready to serve, bake 1 hour, then uncover and bake and additional 30 min. or until the cheese is bubbling and browning.
**I usually make it in two 9x9 casserole dishes. I freeze one for later and it's a great need-an-easy-dinner to have on hand. It will need to bake approximately an hour and a half when baking frozen. Uncover after 1 hour.

SAN FRANCISCO — Jesse Jackman, who stars in TitanMen's new release, "Out!," offers words of encouragement to gay athletes coming out of the closet in "It Takes Balls," a video posted on the film's companion website, OutBaseball.com.
"Out!" features five TitanMen contract performers: Jackman, Dallas Steele, Nick Prescott, Diesel Washington and Eric Nero, joined by industry veteran Luke Adams and Jackman's real-life fiancé Dirk Caber.
"Out!" tells the story of A.J. Benson, a fictional baseball hall-of-famer played by Jackman. In "Out!," Benson decides to come out during a live television interview hosted by sportscaster Jim Weaver, played by Steele.
"I needed a movie like 'Out!' when I was trying to confront my demons in the locker room 20 years ago," Jackman said. "If I had seen this film when I was in college, it might have helped me accept myself then as the proud gay athlete I have since become. I hope 'Out!' acts as that catalyst for someone today."
In the "It Takes Balls" video, Jackman relates his own experiences as a once-closeted athlete in the world of team sports. Jackman hopes that his personal story will inspire other LGBT athletes to find courage within themselves, and to seek out gay and gay-friendly peers who share the same competitive spirit.
"When I was growing up, I never really fit in," Jackman said in the "It Takes Balls" video. "I liked sports, but I never felt like I could play them and be comfortable in my own skin.....But when I was in my early twenties, I found a gay ice hockey league. The level of companionship and camaraderie was just absolutely remarkable."
Jackman, who also played in gay rugby and flag football leagues, encouraged gay and lesbian athletes to join LGBT-friendly clubs in their area.
"There's hope out there," Jackman said in the video. "You don't have to be good as long as you're out there having fun. It changed my life, and it'll change yours."

This gem has bugged me for a long time.
The intention is nice: live life to the fullest, sort of.
It sounds great, doesn't it? Like many popular chains of words do, it sounds fantastic, really it does, until you consider what it it actually says.
If today is my last day ever…
Why plan?
Why take any responsibility?
Why learn, grow, work, invest, think?
It's time to indulge, go crazy, build debts you'll never need to pay, right?
Etc, etc.
Each day?
That sounds like the way millions of us live already. No future.
Woo hoo!
But there IS another day, usually.
Another day of drift and debts and regrets, getting older a day at a time without getting anywhere but deeper in a hole. Cool!
It's spectacular, really, just how successful this line has been, and persistent too, when it's SO TOTALLY WRONG!!! Truly, deeply awful advice, unless it really is the last day of human existence…
Relax. It's not.
Whenever you encounter pretty words, try something different.
Before you accept them whole like a small child sucking down candy, think a moment. What does it really say, this pretty phrase? Anything useful? Anything at all?
Thinking works, it really does!
We could use rather more of it,
We really could…

There must be something about Mozart that especially attracts talented female violinists to his work. In the past couple of years alone, I recall reviewing Mozart violin concertos from Arabella Steinbacher, Rachel Barton Pine, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Lara St. John, and probably others I've forgotten. Now, we get Mozart's first and fifth violin concertos, along with the Sinfonia Concertante, performed by the young Norwegian-born violinist Vilde Frang, accompanied by Maestro Jonathan Cohen and his equally young (formed in 2010) chamber orchestra, Arcangelo.
Things begin with the Violin Concerto No. 1 in B-flat major, K. 207, which Mozart wrote somewhere between 1773-1775. It has an abundance of high spirits about it, which Ms. Frang appears to enjoy. In keeping with the work's generally happy, cheerful outlook, Ms. Frang takes it at moderately fast tempos. Yet it's never so fast as to sound breathless or leave one fatigued. It's a sweet, flowing pace, punctuated by some felicitous touches of rubato and dynamics along the way.
Next is the Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, K. 219, written in 1775. People often refer to it as the "Turkish Concerto" because of some Turkish-inflected elements in the finale. Whatever, the first movement alone plays like a miniature concerto in three parts: fast, slow, fast. The second and third movements, an Adagio and Minuetto, are graceful and smiling. As befits the slightly greater seriousness of this final violin concerto, Ms. Frang slows down the gait a bit. She also takes longer-breathed pauses now and then and puts more emphasis on certain phrases, giving the music a more adventurous texture and demeanor than we usually hear. This may still be a youthful composition, but it sounds much more well developed in Ms. Frang's reading.
|Vilde Frang
Producer Stephen Johns and engineer Philip Hobbs recorded the music at St. Jude-on-the-Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb, London in April 2014. The sound is very smooth and very natural, with an excellent frequency balance. There is no undue brightness, tubbiness, or excessive warmth. The violin appears well integrated with the orchestra, still clearly the star of the show but without being too far out in front of the other players. Midrange transparency is fine, as is orchestral depth and air. This is ear-friendly sound, the kind you might expect to find in a good concert hall, as opposed to a more aggressive studio sound.

The LOOZA BottleProject
[tweetmeme source="artbykcmoore" only_single=false]
Many individuals participated in making this project a success. It was the brain child of Margaret Garrington of Ashland, Oregon. The LOOZA BottleProject became a community statement about waste and recycling. The art installation that examines consumption habits is on the move again.
The artist, Margaret Garrington, recently met with LOOZA representative, Filip Dewulf, in Brussels to discuss an artist residency that would facilitate creating a European LOOZA BottleProject in the fall of 2010. The goal is to bring U.S. and European trash together in the iconic Looza juice bottles at a Belgium location in the spring of 2011. LOOZA BottleProject creatively filled over 400 elegantly shaped vessels with something normally thrown away, and encourages consumers to make recycling and reduction of waste a part of their daily routine. Imaginative and original, each vessel gives form to the formless and are amusing, amazing, and at times, outrageous.

The Paperworld Trends show innovative solutions for the workplace of tomorrow and trailblazing life-style trends for school, for gifts, packaging and celebrating. The combination of 'The visionary office' and 'The stationery trends' is also reflected in the Paperworld Trends for 2019/20. So the name of the Office trend is 'tinted + flexible' and Stationery Trends include 'urban + pristine' and 'graphic + particular'.
Paperworld Trend Exhibition
Paperworld trends present pioneering lifestyle trends and innovative solutions for tomorrow's workplace. For this purpose, developments in the areas of fashion and architecture as well as product and furniture design were used and transferred to the stationery industry.
Design consultants bora.herke.palmisano staged the trends of 2019/20 with products from selected exhibitors at the Paperworld Trend Exhibition. Furthermore, the trends were presented from 26 to 28 January 2019 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. with a lecture and guided tour. On Tuesday, 29 January 2019, it took place at 11 a.m.
'Against the background of digitalisation and urbanisation, our previous ideas of life and work are changing noticeably. Interestingly, the focus is less on technology than on people.'
Paperworld Trends 2019/20
tinted + flexible: Emotion and modern technology
The office trend 'tinted + flexible' combines intelligent room concepts with adaptable, modular furniture and modern technology. An emotional but at the same time reduced design approach is also important. The materials are homely and often recycled. Creative ideas for greening offices improve health and increase concentration.
Colours: Golden yellow, burgundy, ash rose, and rich ochre therefore form the expressive colour palette. Black, white and grey set clear accents.
urban + pristine: High quality and closeness to nature
Simple, natural and well-thought out: The inspiration for the designs comes equally from Scandinavia and Japan, and makes a bold statement. Typical materials are oak, walnut, cedar, stone, leather, linen, wool and felt. Their surfaces are captivating with their striking appearance and robust haptics. They are additionally accentuated with weaving and tweed effects.
Colours: The colour range is also balanced and natural - it ranges from red cedar, fir tree and graphite to jeans, soft wood shades and off-white. This harmonious colour palette particularly enhances the fine paperware world and emphasises its simple aesthetics.
graphic + particular: Graphic patterns and special colour combinations
The 'graphic + particular' trend world combines unique ideas with a wide variety of patterns and graphic colour combinations, giving the theme of gift-giving, packaging and writing a special touch. Characteristic are halftone prints, perforations, lattice structures, prints and collages in an artistic blend.
Colours: Mint blue, tangerine, pink, taupe and deep anemone blue characterise the colour range, while black and white provide additional graphic highlights. The special, modern touch of this trend arises from the gold, bronze and coloured aluminium metallic sheens.
Back to school with "graphic + particular"
At the beginning of summer, many stores for stationery, office supplies, and writing materials are faced with the task of decorating their outlet for the school season. In many cases there are additional satchel promotions and other special events for school starters. This requires a lot of creativity, as the display window should look different every year and attract customers' attention. The inspiration gained from Paperworld Trends is ideal for this purpose. Designer Claudia Herke from the style agency bora.herke.palmisano provides tips.How to implement the trend
Impressions of the trends at Paperworld 2019
The trend scouts: bora.herke.palmisano
Designers Claudia Herke, Cem Bora and Annetta Palmisano from the design studio bora.herke.palmisano analyse international trends in fashion and art, interiors and lifestyle. In the Paperworld Trend Exhibition and in the Trend Brochure, they illustrate the stylistic currents of the coming season in an approachable and market-related way.

When residents of homeowners' associations (HOAs) fail to pay monthly fees per contract terms, shortfalls in the HOA budget can soon become burdensome to the whole organization. Likewise, when residents fail to perform required maintenance at the request of the HOA, the risk of a poor example for other residents cannot be ignored.
As a HOA manager, have you struggled to get residents to pay fees or keep homes updated per the contract terms? Your organization or a debt recovery service hired by your HOA can turn to the Law Offices of Roshni T. Desai in Santa Ana with confidence. Our law firm assists HOA management and debt collection services with cases involving:
- Unpaid monthly fees
- Unpaid fines for noncompliance with HOA rules
- Unpaid special assessments
- Unpaid fees for recreational facilities, garbage pickup or other additional services charged separately from monthly HOA maintenance fees
- Unpaid judgments stemming from lawsuits against residents for any reason
Perhaps a homeowner outright refused to perform required maintenance. Perhaps a property fell into arrears for unforeseen reasons (such as a medical situation or the death of a resident). Whatever the circumstances, an effective resolution is important — and may require legal action. Attorney Roshni T. Desai and the capable staff at our California law firm are ready to help with:
- Collection letters
- Delinquent assessment liens
- Pre-lien letters
- Lawsuits to cover damages against the HOA
- Payment plan setup and maintenance

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy
|Georg Philipp Telemann, Michael Schneider, Frankfurt La Stagione Orchestra
Telemann: Hamburgische Kapitänsmusik, 1755
Genre: Classical

This is as good as any oratorio or cantata written by Bach o
Discophage | France | 02/19/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"So, the Bach Cantatas and Passions, or the Haendel operas and oratorios get zillions of recordings (and performances), and Telemann is lucky when his get one or two. To me the great mystery is why Telemann's music is so relatively neglected (the article on Wikipedia aptly points that the 1911 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica didn't event have an entry for him). On the basis of the present compositions and other vocal and choral works that I have in my collection, I don't hear that his vocal and choral music is strikingly inferior to that of the Leipzig cantor or the "Caro Sassone". Granted, the title of this one, "Hamburgische Kapitänsmusik", doesn't seem very inviting - you expect to hear solemn, interminable and boring occasional music in honor of who knows which captain of Hamburg. Well, not at all.
According to the very informative liner notes, the "Laudable College of Citizen Captains" was a civic guard and an influential and highly respected society in Hamburg, where from 1721 on Telemann was something like General Music Director. For the first time in 1723 they called upon the composer to provide a piece of festive music for their annual banquet. Telemann composed thirty-six such pieces in the course of the next forty-three years, but most of them are lost. Each commission consisted of an Oratorio performed before the beginning of the extended banquet at midday, and a Serenata concluding the proceedings in the evening. The one we get here is from 1755.
The texts? Both compositions follow the customary model of recitative and solo aria, with introductory and conclusive Coro. In the Oratorio "Danket dem Herrn" (Thank the lord), the recits deal with the necessity for wealthy Hamburg never to forget that all these riches are bestowed by the Lord Almighty and to ever thank Him for them. And the arias go on, praising and thanking and worshiping the Lord. Except for the city of Hamburg and the German language, this is a sermon you could hear in many a Church in the United States today. The Serenata's text is even more far-fetched. If, as I did, you associate a Serenata with two nymphs wooing a shepherd, you are wide off the mark. In this one, various "characters" (in both senses of the word: Prudentius the wise, Agenor the fighter, Solipsus the pious pacifist, Commodianus the lazy and vain idler, Brosius the simpleton...), debate about the desirability for wealthy Hamburg in a time of peace to maintain a military service or instead, to use a contemporary language, to reap the dividends of peace (again quite topical in the years after the fall of the Berlin wall - the recording was made in 1993). In the end the argument doesn't really have a winner (although the characters do praise the worthy Captains who do so much for the City's defense), but the liner notes aptly remind that the Seven Year war erupted a year after the composition of the Serenata, ultimately resulting in the City's ruin. Still, as interesting and original as it is to encounter such a blunt piece of propaganda-in-music, it is not exactly what you'd assume is a good subject for good music!
But the words don't really matter (although the Serenata's recitative includes hilarious dialogue). In the Oratorio it is all very repetitive, and in both they could be singing anything, it is the music that counts. And it is marvelous.
In the Oratorio it is lively, playful, rhythmically dynamic and at times even dramatic (as in track 3) and orchestrated with wonderful colors: sweet recorders in the introductory chorus, lively flutes in 5 and 9, bassoon in 11, oboes in 15 and 18. The diversity of solo voices (soprano, two altos, tenor, two basses - they too impersonate different "characters": the Humble, the Thankful, the Hopeful, the Cheerful Onlooker, the Pious...) also provides great variety.
It the Oratorio is as good as it gets, the Serenata... is even better. To all the traits of the Oratorio it adds an irresistible festive and joyous atmosphere, and it has at least three numbers that rise above the simply fine. Agenor's Aria (track 5) is a superb specimen of "war music" with timpani, horns, trumpets and oboes. Commodianus' Aria (track 17) complaining about the deafening beat of pounding drums gives Telemann an occasion to write another splendid military music, with more than a pinch of caricature. But the most extraordinary is Eucopus' Aria describing "the twaddling of cackling geese, the croaking of loquacious frogs, and all the chattering of loud claptraps" (track 19). In the 18th Century I can think only of Rameau who wrote such evocative and daring orchestral music. The Serenata has many other felicities, among which I'll mention track 9 - another fine semi-mocking heroic music, and track 11 whose vocal line has a virtuoso passage very reminiscent of Bartolo's "come un garbuglio" in Mozart's Nozze.
So let me praise and thank not the Lord but Michael Schneider and cpo for bringing this and all their other wonderful Telemann back to us (another very useful label for Telemann by the way has been Capriccio, and another very active and thanks-deserving performer, Hermann Max conducting the Rheinische Kantorei). One can find, perhaps, that bass Michael Schopper has a little too much vibrato, that bass Raimund Nolte is congested and short of delivery and that tenor Gerd Türk is a bit frail - but these are trivial matters. There is no competition and this is overall very well-sung and performed, and again as good as any Telemann, as good as anything composed in that style in the 18th Century, and that includes the zillion cantatas by Bach and Haendel Oratorios.
Great liner notes, with even a reproduction of a telling engraving of a Banquet of the Hamburg Captains in 1719.
