The American Kennel Club established the Canine Good Citizen training certification program in 1989 as a way to set a national standard for what it means to be a "well-trained dog." Karma Rescue has been able to certify over 30 pit bulls a year as American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizens.
Bringing a new cat, or kitten into your home is exciting. We know you chose your kitty with love and care—but remember that you are a stranger to your new cat and your cat is in a strange new place. Don't be surprised if it takes a few weeks for your cat to acclimate; rest assured, however, that your new cat wants to love you and your home. He/she just needs a few things to help him/her be comfortable.
The City of Los Angeles Department of Animal Services estimates that anywhere from 40,000 to 50,000 feral and stray dogs and cats roam the streets of Los Angeles at any time. Karma Rescue suggests you use the following steps when finding a stray.
Can Karma take my dog or cat? What do I need to do to give up my pet? Learn about the best ways to surrender a pet.
Is it safe to own a pit bull? We would like to provide you information about "pit bull"-type dogs so that you can make the best decision for you and your family.
Our "Create Animal Allies" program addresses the pet overpopulation problem & teaches people of all ages how to be more responsible members of the animal community. Our "Reading Isn't Ruff" literacy program helps children build reading skills by reading aloud to certified Therapy or CGC dogs.
We believe strongly that all animals should be spayed or neutered. This particular program helps combat animal-overpopulation and is responsible for "fixing" over 400 animals per year and that number keeps growing.
Our outreach program brings support to dog and cat owners who are in need. Our volunteers bring food, help reinforce fences, build shelters, provide veterinary assistance, and educate owners who need help in hard times.

Mixed Race Musings
These days, I often hear people discussing about how "mixed" the world is becoming and many seem convinced that one day, mixed-race people will make up the majority of the world's population. I wonder if this will ever come to pass. That said, places like Brazil and South Africa certainly seem to be heading that way.
It is an interesting concept for me. Me, as a person who is often heard exclaiming that "there are a million stories in my blood". Without meaning to sound self-important (for it is the same for most people), many, many stories needed to happen before I could be born. Stories of human migration, pain, triumph, adventure and great imagination but for me, all these stories are cross cultural.
My mother was mixed race, as was her mother and her mother too. That side of my family is so mixed and that we no longer can trace our real roots. Sure it does sound quite exotic, but, for me at least, there is a tinge of sadness in that too as it is and will probably always be an incomplete story. There is no longer anyone around who can satisfactorily fill these gaps. Granny past away with her secrets and even if she was still with us, I had too much respect to question her as these were secrets that she closely guarded.
I often wonder if my sister and I are the only ones with our particular cocktail of cultural mix. Neither of us have met another quite like us with our roots touching, South Africa, Holland, France, Seychelles, Kenya and Japan ( and quite possibly more). Forgive me for saying it but, I must admit that I am proud of my heritage. Mumma used to say that I should be proud of something that I have DONE rather than something that I cannot help. However, it is not ME that I am proud of. I am proud of my ancestors for overcoming and daring to be the people they were. I hope that makes sense.
One story that I don't mind sharing is the tale of my great grandparents. They hailed from a place that no longer exists on modern maps of South Africa. He, was a black. She, was "coloured". The law was such that they could not be together in their country and so they left for Kenya. What happened to them there was a bittersweet tale with many mysteries still unanswered but I am proud that they had the courage and heart to make that trek across Africa.
Stories like this have inspired my life and have prevented me from having any cultural confusion that I hear many other "mixed" kids went through. So, in those exceedingly rare moments when I stand with the girls in my maternal family, and look at the rainbow of complexions and eye colours that we are and I feel very proud indeed.
We should always remember those stories that brought us to where we are today, they will only make us stronger in many many ways.

Gorgeous!! I do think one day mixed races will over populate places...they are becoming more and more whether others like it or not. It does dilute out a single race, but if you really peeled back everyone's heritage, we all stem from one another in some way. The tests they've done and recorded have shown that we have all come from the same place over the centuries. Which I find quite interesting. I'm mixed race and I love it really. I have things to learn from all walks of life. I have African, German, Scottish, Irish and Native American (Cherokee tribe) heritage and being able to learn so much is awesome. It's nice to have ancestors from so many different backgrounds, it makes it seem richer in some ways. The struggles they had to endure, all of it creates who we are today. And I'm thankful for that!! xxReplyDelete
I, like you, have a colourful heritage. For me I've never really felt at a loss about where I come from, but I know this is something my sister has dealt with (we grew up mixed race in a small beach town in Australia)... I think the only thing that has really helped her overcome her confusion over her identity has been spending time with my dad's family in Africa. Exploring what makes you who you are is something that should me treasured, as it's just so precious!ReplyDelete
I do understandf your sadness. I am as mixed as you are and even more so. But we have the past, present and future in our bloods so wipe your sadness away my darling.ReplyDelete
That is really beautiful...one of the best essays I have read contemplating both the ups and downs of having a mixed heritage. Though I'm not of mixed heritage, the bit you mentioned your grandparents having so many stories that are now lost - it makes me miss my grandparents a lot....ReplyDelete
Beautiful and well-said, especially about being proud of your ancestors for having the courage to make their own paths.ReplyDelete
I think this is one of my most favorite posts. Thank you so much for sharing as I love hearing/learning more about you ^_^ReplyDelete
I do think mixed race people will take over. I also don't know all of my background. My mother was born in Puerto Rico, as were her parents. My mother's grandparents were Native American, Cuban & European (not sure from where). My father was born in Dominican Republic, as were his parents. His grandparents were a mix too, but we don't know much about them. Whenever I have children they will be able to add Irish to their mix, pretty sure they could check all the boxes on a race form..haha!ReplyDelete
What a well-written musing. Now I think you should post the picture of you and your cousins/sister so we can admire the beauties :-)ReplyDelete
there are always things that slip from us in our ancestors' stories. Maybe it is better like that, that our great great grandparents keep their secrets.. I think it is a marvellous richness to have so many different origins and cultural backgrounds. Even if you are not aware of it, you carry them all in yourself everywhere you go and whatever you do. They are incredible resources that contribute to the beautiful one of a kind woman you are. I loved to read about this touching testimony of yours :)ReplyDelete
I must admit that big old cocktail mixture does sound quite rare and an extremely mixed bag. it's amazing to think all that mixture turns out to be you and how you look. my background is unclear, my mum was born here but my grandad was from russian and before his too but before that I don't know. my dad's side, he was adopted and mixed race. I have never met my dad but I know nothing of this past. It's sad but it's just not easy to ask about things you know.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful post:) I love being mixed. I'm half Sri Lankan and half Japanese. And having lived in so many different countries as a child, home was and is always where my parents are rather than a geographical location. I think being around other mixed children in international communities also helped shape the way I think about mixing.ReplyDelete
I enjoy your musings and I like learning more about you. I think we share a lot of the same values and experiences and you express them much better than I can even try! Thanks for sharing xReplyDelete
Dear Yasumi, thank you for sharing a bit of your family history. I loved the posts of the week and the beautiful images of Africa and Japan. Take care, CaterinaReplyDelete
In Canada, where I grew up, almost everyone is mixed, so to speak, although we aren't all a mix of different colours, so to speak... we are all the children of immigrants and adventurers; people who packed up their lives and took a great risk for the hope of a better life. There was much pain and suffering along the way, and many stories were lost; my dad's maternal grandparents identified as Ukrainian but came from a now-unknown place in Austria, records of their existence can no longer be traced even though the history is so recent and so we will never really know who they were or whether the dreams they had came true the way they hoped... but I agree that this type of heritage is something to take pride in; we are the descendants of those who dared to dream.ReplyDelete
You are all amazing to take the time to comment. Your stories are unique and each one of them has touched my heart x Thank you for sharing. I shall cherish this post forever!ReplyDelete
I think its perfectly understandable to feel proud of your ancestors especially if they went through trials and tribulations. I'm not mixed but I'm certainly proud of my ancestors for what they went through.ReplyDelete
... I've always been a bothersome child and I've made sure to ask my parents about everything I could think of. I've never met my dad's parents (deceased before I could even gurgle at them) but I've managed to find out that my great grandfather came from Africa to Jamaica in the 19th century and was according to my grandfather a 'tyrant' (which always makes me laugh - I'd say the same about my dad).
I think that "mixed" unions from love create the best stories whether its simple personality differences, social standing or ethnicities (etc.) - a story spurred from love is a story that no one should feel ashamed to share :) ... hey and even if it wasn't about love but suffering that too is worthy to be told ... I'm not certain but any mixed ancestry in my family must've come from slave owners in the Atlantic Slave Trade, which is just dismal ...
I'm glad to hear that there are better stories out there - thanks for sharing :)

I enjoyed your lovely post. Very vulnerable sharing something personal. My two children are a mix of Chinese, Black, White (British St. Kitts), Portuguese, some Native American and probably others I don't know about. I'm Chinese, but my husband's side of the family is every color of the rainbow.ReplyDelete
There are places that do genealogy / DNA analysis for those interested (or curious) of their ancestral makeup ( European / Indigenous American / Sub-Sahran African / East Asian ). AncestrybyDNA does this http://www.ancestrybydna.com.

Neasden crash out of FA Cup
Neasden's dream of reaching Anfield are over for another season as they were eventually well beaten by Comet Sports in a lunchtime kick-off at Hadley FC.
A talented young side who won last year's Berkhamsted Sunday League, Neasden refused to give Comet Sports any time on the ball early on, and their ploy of having three men in the centre harrying the opposition gave Neasden the early edge.
Pressure told on 20 minutes when a Jake Gottlieb floated free-kick from the right was headed against the bar by Lee Cash before being headed back into his own net by a Comet Sports defender.
But all NWN's good work came undone as they were caught cold time and again.
NWN manager Jamie Cole said: "I told them at half-time to see out the first 15 minutes, but we conceded straight away and made error after error. We threw away our excellent first half performance with poor errors in the second.
"To be fair to Comet Sports, they came here and played very well but we gave them goals, which is extremely frustrating."
Comet Sports coach Dan Meaney commented: "I think we were more focussed in the second half and that made the difference. We managed to get to grips with them and used our fitness and speed to good effect."
NWN: Max Shields, Jake Gottlieb, Elliott Stern (sub: TJ Keterman), Bradley Sharp, Sammy Ross, Kyle Bentwood, Jon Ellis, Elliot Green, Matt Sofier (sub: George Fierstone), Shai Revivo, Andy Glynne, Danny Daggers, Rob Lerner (sub: Yarlett), Lee Cash

How would you describe Bruno's character in The Boy with the Striped Pajamas?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think that one of the strongest ways to describe Bruno's character is that he is transcendent. Bruno is a non- conformist, unable to embrace how a world around him is in love and enamored with Nazism and Nazi ideals. Bruno's character is one that seeks to transform what is into what can be. This is evident in different points, such as finding out more about Maria or understanding Pavel in a different light. His friendship with Shmuel is the best example of how Bruno wishes to transform what is into what can be. He is not one to be content with how reality is constructed, and is always seek to broaden his own horizons of how reality can be. When told not to go to the end of the fence, Bruno does. Bruno's characterization is described constantly in the book through terms that shows him to be one who wishes to expand his own imagination and his sense of understanding about the world with his place in it. He is shown to be a character who transcends the condition of what is and moves into what can be. With his sacrifice at the end of the novel and one that dawns on all of his family as to what he did, this becomes confirmed as a permanent part of his characterization.

The recession may mean consumers are cutting discretionary spending, but Amazon.com didn't seem to feel much of a pinch in its first quarter.
The Seattle-based online retailer said Thursday that during the first three months of the year, earnings and revenue climbed thanks to strong sales of products such as books, DVDs and electronics.
The results were much better than the decline analysts were anticipating, and indicate the online retailer is faring well despite the ongoing recession.
Amazon.com Inc. said earnings climbed 24 per cent to $177 million US, or 41 cents per share, compared to $143 million, or 34 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. That easily beat the 31 cents per share that analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected.
The company said revenue rose 18 per cent to $4.89 billion, slightly higher than analysts' expectations of $4.76 billion.
Amazon expects second-quarter sales of $4.3 billion to $4.75 billion, which would represent growth of six to 17 per cent over the $4.06 billion sales it reported in the second quarter of 2008.
In the first quarter, sales of items such as books, CDs and DVDs rose seven percent to $2.72 billion, while sales of electronics and other general merchandise rose nearly 39 per cent to $2.05 billion.
Amazon chief financial officer Tom Szkutak said during a conference call with reporters that in this latter category — which also includes items like sporting goods, apparel and shoes — sales were strong among many different types of products.
Customers rose to over 91 million
Amazon said revenue from shipping — which includes revenue it brings in through its membership-based two-day shipping program, Amazon Prime, as well as its third-party shipping program, Fulfillment by Amazon — declined one per cent to $190 million.
Net shipping costs rose 31 per cent year over year, however, to $168 million.
Nevertheless, the company's gross margin rose to 23.5 per cent in the first quarter from 23.1 per cent in the year-ago period. This metric had declined in the fourth quarter in a move the company attributed partly to price cuts.
In a conference call with analysts, Szkutak said active customer accounts rose 16 per cent in the quarter to more than 91 million.
In February, Amazon launched the latest version of its $359 US electronic reading device, Kindle 2. The company, which started selling the Kindle in late 2007 and has not released any sales figures to date, said Thursday that the online Kindle Store now includes more than 270,000 books and other reading material.
Amazon shares rose $1.98 or more than two per cent in after-hours trading, after finishing regular trading Thursday up $1.41 at $80.61.

How to Learn Beginning Russian on Your Own in less than a week
Russian teacher Katya Paukova teaches an 8 hour class in beginning Russian with accompanying handouts. A video camera was in the back of the room and you can have a bird's eye view and follow along.
We are temporarily reducing the price of the class to $30.07, as we anticipate moving it from our site at the end of 2017.
If you want to fluency in Russian, or any language, here is what matters: first, you must get Comprehensible Input in the target language. This means you must hear the language and read the language and understand it as you are hearing it or reading it.
There are TPRS Books in Russian – very few. But even before you read your first novel, you can start by learning words, listening to Russian and putting together the building blocks that will allow you to read the short stories in our handouts. (http://fluencyfast.com/resources/language-resources/russian-resources)
Does Fluency in Russian matter more than learning the grammar of the language? Absolutely! Fluency in a language does not require painful study and memorization. Laugh along with the teacher and the class and it won't even matter that it's in another language – it will feel that easy to understand.
Watch the video more than once, review the handouts, read and re-read the stories. After a week, if you feel like you're ready for TPRS Books in Russian (with glossaries!) you'll be on your way! If not, watch the videos and read the handouts again and watch your passive language skills grow and grow.

This guy I work with that I kinda like we've known eachother for a while.. He told my friend that he might have seen a connection with me and him but I never did anything about it.. And he recently told my other friend that he wants to talk to me less because he doesn't like me.. Which I really don't understand because why would he say he might have seen a connection between us.. He also stares at me a lot but there blank stares.. I always catch him staring at me and sometimes he turns away quickly and then other times he'll just look directly at me.. But then won't look in my eyes when we talk he looks at the floor and we rarely talk he's really quiet around me but he talks to everyone else
Guys! When your really quiet around a girl do you like her? And why would you stare at her if you say you don't like her?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
Maybe it's because he was waiting for you to make the first move. Since he told the friend their might be a connection then he knew the friend was going to tell you and he probably was waiting for you to say or suggest something. He may still like you even though he lost interest. If he stares and stuff then he probably still things about you.00|00|0
If a guy suddenly loses his cool when near a specific girl he isn't related to, like he suddenly drops his game for a moment, he is probably very into her.
I think he likes you.00|00|0

Believe it or not, everyone has TWO birth charts. This lesson will explain why.
In July of 1995, Hay House, Inc. (Carlsbad, California) published the Magi Society's first book, Astrology Really Works! The book was an instant success and is now already a classic among astrology books. (As of November 2000, all printings of this book were completely sold out. Members of the Magi Society are writing a new book to replace this book and either the new book and/or the original book will again be available in early 2002.) One of the book's significant contributions to astrology is that it proved we all have two birth charts. Without knowing about your second chart, you simply cannot understand the astrology of love or money. Have you ever had your second birth chart analyzed? Do you know how such a chart is formulated? We explain how such a chart is formulated below, and we give you the reasons we all have a second chart.
The Normal Horoscope Chart
Below is an example of a typical astrological chart commonly used now by most astrologers. It is called a Horoscope Chart.
As you can see, a normal chart is an attempt to give you the positions of the planets. But the positions such charts give you are only one set of coordinates of the planets and such charts are MISSING THE OTHER COORDINATES that you need.
The most fundamental theory in astrology is that the positions of the planets in the sky have an influence on us. When the positions of the planets change, the influences also change. For this reason, astrological charts were designed to be a map of the sky that should tell us the positions of the planets when someone was born and also should tell us about the changes in the positions of the planets from one time to the next. However, even though a birth chart is a map of the sky, the normal astrological birth chart only has one coordinate. But every other kind of map that you have ever used has two coordinates: the horizontal (East-West) coordinate and the vertical (North-South) coordinate.
Since an astrological chart is supposed to be a map of the sky, it must have two coordinates. Let us explain why. Below is a "picture" of an important part of the sky on January 22, 1990.
And below is a "picture" of the sky two months later on 3/22/1990:
In the above pictures of the sky, the stars are the small white dots (we have drawn in brown lines to connect the stars that form the constellations). The planets are represented by the largest colored dots. Note that in the two months from one picture to the next, the Sun (the largest yellow circle) has moved to the left and also has moved higher. All of the other planets have also moved both up or down, as well as to the left or to the right. To help you measure such movements, we have drawn in green lines to represent the coordinates of the sky just like a map. The vertical green lines are the vertical coordinates and the horizontal green lines are the horizontal coordinates, just like a map of a city or state.
Our point is this:
You cannot know the position of a planet in the sky unless you have both the vertical and the horizontal coordinates.
When someone says that she/he is a Virgo, the person really is referring to only the horizontal coordinate of the Sun when the person was born. The normal birth chart (like the Horoscope Chart above) has only one coordinate and only tells you the horizontal position of the planets.
When you look for a planet in the nighttime sky, you cannot find it unless you know both the horizontal and vertical coordinates. When the planets move across our skies, the planets move a little bit horizontally and a little bit vertically at the same time.
Let us discuss a phenomenon that illustrates that a planet moves vertically as well as horizontally. The fact that the day is longest on the first day of summer is due to the vertical coordinate of the Sun, which measures the elevation of the Sun. The day is longest on the first day of the summer because the elevation of the Sun is at its highest.
Since astrologers believe that the positions and movements of the planets have an influence on us, it makes sense that BOTH the horizontal coordinates and the vertical coordinates of the planets are equally important. For this reason, a Magi Astrology Chart always gives you both the horizontal and vertical coordinates. In Magi Astrology, we have devised a creative way of drawing a chart that represents both the horizontal and vertical coordinates, all on a single chart.
Below is a Magi Astrology Chart for 1/22/1990, the day of the first picture of the sky we showed you above.
Note that the vertical coordinates of the planets are drawn along the roller-coaster curve inside of the circle. The horizontal coordinates of the planets are drawn along the circumference of the circle.
And below is a Magi Astrology Chart for 3/22/1990, the day of the second picture of the sky we showed you above.
Here again, as always in Magi Astrology, the chart has two coordinates.
Astrology has a name for both the vertical and the horizontal coordinates. The vertical coordinates (the ones shown inside of the circle on the roller-coaster curve) are called the DECLINATIONS. The horizontal coordinates are called the LONGITUDES and these positions of the planets are always drawn along the circumference of the circle. Both the declinations and the longitudes are equally important in astrology.

Take it as coincidence or take it as synchronicity or take it as one more affirmation of the ways musicians tune in ideas across boundaries and decades. The JVC Jazz Festival, which starts its major concerts tonight and runs through June 27, has two threads that connect its most promising events, two pervasive influences that should intersect at many different angles for 10 days.
One is the ever expanding recognition of Brazilian music, past and present, as more American listeners break the language barrier and more Brazilian musicians travel internationally. The second is the lasting influence of Miles Davis, who spawned entire schools of jazz with each phase of his music from the 1940's well into the 1970's.
It might seem improbable that Brazilian music and the Davis legacy would have any bearing on each other. But they keep intertwining. What Davis shared with Brazilian taste -- a deep respect for melody, a connoisseurship of rhythm and an appreciation for subtleties of harmony, texture and mood -- has drawn jazz musicians to the Brazilian repertory and Brazilian songwriters to jazz. Both, of course, are creating Afro-Euro-American music, mongrel styles constantly adapting to the new world. They draw from everything they meet, including each other.
Among both American and Brazilian performers this year, another name besides Miles Davis keeps popping up as a model: Joao Gilberto, the bossa nova singer and guitarist who is a grandmaster of understatement. The Davis who created the serene, haunted austerity of ''Kind of Blue'' (which is to be performed by a tribute group on Tuesday) and the Gilberto who whisper-sang Antonio Carlos Jobim's sketches of yearning and loss both have qualities that have all but disappeared from public discourse: discretion and mystery. ''Better than this there's only silence,'' Caetano Veloso sings on ''Livro,'' his new album. ''And better than silence only Joao.''
Two of the likely pinnacles of the festival are concerts at the Beacon Theater by songwriters from the Brazilian state of Bahia: Mr. Veloso (on June 27), who has been making groundbreaking music since the 1960's, and the New York debut of Carlinhos Brown (on Thursday), a percussionist, songwriter, band leader and producer who has galvanized Brazilian music in the 1990's.Continue reading the main story
Brazilian culture prides itself on a metaphoric cannibalism, swallowing and digesting ideas from abroad, and Mr. Veloso has been one of Brazil's most adept syncretists. Along with Gilberto Gil and other songwriters and singers, he was a leader of the musical movement called tropicalia, which conceived of Brazil as a hot-wired nexus of musical information. ''What we did in the late 1960's was a very complicated -- not so sophisticated but complicated -- comment on the history of the music of Brazil,'' Mr. Veloso said by telephone from Rio de Janeiro.
The tropicalists tossed together Afro-Brazilian rhythms and rock guitars, modernist poetry and advertising jingles, bossa novas and psychedelia; deliberately and gleefully they warped history and geography. Mr. Veloso has sustained and refined his inspiration through the following decades with a gift for melody, an ear for unexpected combinations and a preternatural grace in his gentle voice.
His concert on June 27 revolves around one more pan-American blend. Mr. Veloso will be featuring songs from ''Livro,'' which unites two strands of his broad musical erudition: the Afro-Brazilian percussion of Bahia and the airy, allusive arrangements that Gil Evans did for Davis in the late 1940's and 1950's on albums like ''Birth of the Cool,'' ''Sketches of Spain'' and ''Porgy and Bess.'' As usual, Mr. Veloso's songs range through history and ideas: there's a song about Alexander the Great, a lighthearted bit of 12-tone music, and ''Manhata,'' a limpid ballad that imagines Manhattan as an Indian girl and a legendary goddess, ''that beautiful girl biting the apple.''
The title song of ''Livro'' is about the satisfying physical presence of books: ''Books are transcendental things,'' Mr. Veloso sings, ''but we can love them with our hands.'' He finished the album after writing his autobiography, ''Verdade Tropical'' (''Tropical Truth''); Alfred A. Knopf is to publish a translation next year. And the music sets out to bridge his past and his present. ''The cool jazz thing is from the very beginning of my deepest connection with music,'' Mr. Veloso said. He rediscovered it on tour in Europe.
''We were listening on the bus to the old albums by Miles Davis with Gil Evans, and I was thinking of how much I used to love those records, and how much I still love them. I think it's Miles's best period. And this new street percussion, from Bahia, from Salvador, is something that I am living just now. As I composed the songs for ''Livro'' I was thinking of this mixture. I like the tension.''
One song on the album, ''Navio Negreiro'' (''Slave Ship''), reunites Mr. Veloso with Carlinhos Brown, who spent five years as the percussionist in his band. ''I was amazed by his personal rhythm, by his mind and by the way he played,'' Mr. Veloso said. ''He is a leader, he has a sense of history, he knows everything about Bahian carnival and he knows how to make comments on the past and to create things for the future.''
A 'Man of Mixtures'
Mr. Brown's new album is called ''Omelete Man''; it is a declaration, he says, that he is a ''man of mixtures,'' like the culture he comes from. ''In Brazil, we are already mature in the mixture of races,'' he said through a translator. ''We learned through our pain and our happy moments that it is the great way to peace. Being mixed makes you like the other person a lot more, because then you start believing that the other person really is your brother because he has your blood.''
Mr. Brown's album includes funk paced by Bahian percussion, sultry ballads, reggae, revved-up carnival music, old-fashioned samba, Portuguese fado, a brass band waltz, even a tune steeped in the Beatles; the lyrics toss in some English with the Portuguese. ''I'm trying to speak a language that Babel didn't have,'' he said through a translator. ''In my original culture, the dialect is already gone. We have Yoruba origins, and we were a nation in Africa, and here we got mixed. They destroyed the way we used to speak, but they didn't destroy our discourse because we kept a lot of things in our collective unconscious. Now I'm looking for newer forms of communication.''
Onstage, Mr. Brown deploys guitars, horns and plenty of percussion; taking turns on various instruments and leading the group in fierce funk workouts, he can seem like a Brazilian answer to Prince. And like Prince or George Clinton, he keeps generating spinoff groups. He discovered and encouraged Lactomia, a group of teen-age percussionists who play instruments made from buckets, cans and bottle caps. And he introduced Timbalada, a percussion-driven Bahian pop band that performs in tribal-style face paint. Ogans, a New York-based band of Bahian drummers that appears most Saturdays at S.O.B.'s in the South Village, largely models itself on Timbalada.
Mr. Brown is also rebuilding Candeal, the poor neighborhood in Salvador where he lives; along with his own studio and outdoor performance area, he is sponsoring the construction of housing, a health center and a music school. ''Through music we can form great citizens,'' he said. ''Music always comes out of the community, not one person.''
Another major Brazilian songwriter is to perform through Sunday at the Blue Note: Ivan Lins, a master of melody and labyrinthine harmonies whose songs have been championed by American singers from Sarah Vaughan to Manhattan Transfer (which is also headlining a festival concert, on Tuesday at Avery Fisher Hall).
He, too, has a heritage of mixtures. The Lins family moved to Boston in 1947, when he was 2, and stayed for three years before returning to Brazil. ''The first songs I remember were Stephen Foster songs and Walt Disney songs,'' Mr. Lins said. Back in Brazil, he was drawn to big-band music and then, when bossa nova arrived, to jazz, which got him started playing piano. The guitars of the rock era were too out of tune for him; he preferred bands like Blood, Sweat and Tears or Chicago, which harked back to big bands. But he also learned from songwriters like Milton Nascimento and the tropicalia songwriters, and lately he, too, has been rediscovering the bossa nova. ''Jobim influenced me dramatically, and it's coming out much more now,'' he said.
''Everybody thinks that harmony is the most important thing in my music,'' Mr. Lins complained good-naturedly. ''But it's not; it's the melody. When I start to write a song it's to tell a story melodically. I try to be as simple as I can because that's what moves me more, when the melody flows easily. But behind this melody I need to put something like a soundtrack, and that's what the harmony starts to do. It's like scoring films, to create some atmosphere.''
Diana Krall's Bossa Nova
Bossa nova, which gave American jazz one of its commercial peaks in the 1960's, is easing into the music again. Diana Krall, the pianist and singer who is to make her Carnegie Hall debut on Wednesday, has been topping jazz charts by singing standards in her breathy, gently tousled voice. Before making her new album, ''When I Look in Your Eyes,'' she began listening seriously to Mr. Gilberto. Her producer, Tommy LiPuma, had also produced Mr. Gilberto's 1977 album, ''Amoroso,'' which let a hushed orchestra waft chords above his syncopated guitar. Hearing it led to her making bossa nova versions of ''Let's Face the Music and Dance'' and ''I've Got You Under My Skin.''
''I had the album for quite a while, but I didn't really get into it until three or four years ago,'' Ms. Krall said. ''There's a time when you find something and it moves you, and you're glad it did. I'm not an authority on Brazilian music, but all I really needed was Joao, and Frank Sinatra singing with Antonio Carlos Jobim. I might not understand the language, but I understand the feel. There's a goose bump factor, just like there is when I listen to opera, like Jussi Bjoerling singing 'The Pearl Fishers' with all that passion. Voices like Joao and Willie Nelson -- with that kind of quiet -- are a tremendous influence. One day at sound check we were doing 'I've Got You Under My Skin.' I said, 'Let's take the tempo down,' and I realized that by changing a tempo and mood, you can change the story a little bit without changing the lyrics. It's fun to take things into a different context.''
Davis is to receive one tribute on Tuesday at Symphony Space with '' 'Kind of Blue' at 40,'' when a generation-crossing sextet plays all the compositions from the 1959 album that established the idea of modal jazz. The group includes Jimmy Cobb on drums, the only surviving musician from the original album, and the tenor saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, whose father, John Coltrane, was in Davis's group for the album. Wallace Roney on trumpet, Vincent Herring on alto saxophone, Geri Allen on piano and Buster Williams on bass complete the sextet. To make ''Kind of Blue,'' Davis purposefully surprised the group. ''We didn't have no kind of rehearsal,'' Mr. Cobb said. ''He was like that. He liked to change things up.'' Davis handed the musicians sketches that called not for songs with defined chord changes, but for tunes that led to improvisations on modal scales, which are more open-ended. ''He said, 'A lot is up to you,' '' Mr. Cobb said.
The music's radical simplicity was a liberation and a challenge, and ''Kind of Blue'' emerged with a tentative, searching tone that's also immensely romantic. The album became a durable hit. ''Lots of jazz guys try to make crossover records,'' Mr. Cobb said. ''This one just happened by itself. It was just a date that came up good.''
Another Davis Tribute
Another Davis tribute takes place tomorrow night at Carnegie Hall, when Cassandra Wilson sings material from her album ''Traveling Miles'' -- selections that span Davis's repertory from standards to funk, some with Ms. Wilson's own lyrics -- on a bill with one of the very few singers Davis ever endorsed, Shirley Horn. While Ms. Horn plays piano in her own poised jazz trio, Ms. Wilson leads a mutable group including slide guitar and vibraphone. Both women learned from Davis how to bring a pensive and profound delicacy to their songs, letting implications linger in their unhurried phrasing.
Davis's reverberations at the festival don't stop there. John McLaughlin, whose electric guitar work on ''Bitches Brew'' helped Davis cut through to a rock audience, is performing on June 27 at Symphony Space, playing acoustic guitar with Indian musicians. Dave Holland, the bassist when Davis's groups made the transition from acoustic to electric instruments, has long since returned to acoustic jazz; he is to lead his quintet on Wednesday at Symphony Space, sharing a bill with the pianist Brad Mehldau.
Outside the JVC Jazz Festival is another tribute. The trumpeter and composer Mark Isham, a longtime Davis emulator whose day job is writing film soundtracks, made his homage official with his most recent album, ''The Silent Way Project,'' which delves into Davis's spooky late-1960's funk; he will be performing compositions from that era on Wednesday and Thursday at the Knitting Factory.
And in a major jazz festival concert tonight, two members of Davis's great mid-1960's quintet, the pianist Herbie Hancock and the saxophonist Wayne Shorter, are performing as a duo tonight at Carnegie Hall. Mr. Shorter, particularly in his years with Weather Report and on his solo albums, has long recognized a kinship between his own sinuous, harmonically ingenious compositions and Brazilian music. Mr. Hancock was part of the studio group for Mr. Shorter's 1974 album, ''Native Dancer,'' which introduced many American listeners to the music of Mr. Nascimento, one of Brazil's most celebrated songwriters. Melody and nuance have a way of getting around.
''You cannot nationalize music,'' Mr. Lins said. ''I understand music to be like science. A scientist in one place makes a discovery and finds a cure for a virus, and then later another scientist uses his discovery to heal something else. Great musicians give their contributions for the planet, not for one country.''

I'm 100% against marriage, I don't want to get married because I see what happens to men once they divorce. Some guy heard me say this and he told me, "You're a pessimistic a**hole, I'm glad you don't want to get married so women won't have to deal with guys like you!" I'm 23, and I'm not changing my mind about my marriage. Why does me living MY life MY way make me an a**hole! People piss me off trying to force their lifestyle choices on me!

I have always found it incredibly stupid that you cannot have your own opinion in this world. If it is not mainstream or considered the norm then you are scum. Even though I do not believe in your opinion about marriage, I have absolutely no intentions on trying to make you change your mind because why in the f*** can you not have that opinion? Just ignore it man, you cannot make everyone happy no matter what you do so f*** it.10|10|0

Southern Mens League Division 3 (03 May 2008)
This weekend the men's Div 3 team competed not too far from the home
matches taking place in Battersea for Divs 1 and 4. Like a less
favoured middle child we were sent not to Coventry but to Tooting Bec.
Made up of Div 1 wannabes and Div 4 shouldabes our hotch-potch team
coalesced around a captain whose own place on the track, let alone the
team, was in doubt.
Despite set backs, last minute withdrawals and opening day nerves we
came third out of four teams only two points behind the second place
team. Our strengths appeared to lie in the hurdles and the throws which
seems strange for a predominantly road running club! Our talisman on
the day was Jamie Nelson who opened the track events with a win in the
400 hurdles, inspiring his captain to match him in the B race, and going
on to be top scorer for Serpentine. Ashley Kibblewhite came back after
last season's absence injury and paired with Div 4 exile, Alessandro
Brandimarti, to clean up in the throws. It is a pity the hammer did not
take place as I'm certain we could have capitalised on our dominance.
Alessandro may be given a regular slot in Div 3 after this weekend.
Div 3 regulars JT Wong and Richard Philips did whatever was asked of
them, ensuring the team filled every slot. I was also grateful for
newcomers Hunor Albert-Lorincz, Darren Spring and Darren Nicolas for
quickly embracing the Div 3 spirit and ignoring fatigue for the greater
good. All are welcome again and I hope to add some more runners to
their number for our next match which is at home in Battersea on 7 June.
Thanks to everyone who competed.

Div 3 managed to come 4th (out of 4), in what I can only describe as THE toughest Div 3 match that I've been involved in. The teams ahead of us were really pretty strong, so there's nothing to be ashamed of with our position. Even if Div 3 hadn't given up some of our regulars to Div 1, we would still have ended up last. I found myself completely blown out of the water in a 200m race where the three people ahead of me were all significantly faster than the winner of the Div 1 race (the winner of my race clocked 21.7, third clocked 22.1 – whilst the div 1 winner was at 22.6: a huge difference in 200m). However, there were some great performances from Div 3 during the day. Ashley and Alessandro won the A and B string Shot – with Alessandro going over 10m and setting a PB. Eric Phillips set a massive 5k PB (20seconds) at 16.25. Bryan, Louis, Gavin and Abdulrashid all made their Div3 debuts – and put in some pretty decent performances.

This is public thanks to Lisa Pettit and all the other officials and volunteers who
made the double home match on Saturday a success. As one of the competitors it all
seemed to go very smoothly so well done.
I hope you all enjoyed the efforts of the Serpentine athletes, some of whom produced
noteworthy individual efforts of which a few follow. In the Division 3 team utility
man James Nelson continues to do well in whatever he is required to do. As well as
continuing to improve in the hurdles and pole vault he added an impressive triple
jump to complete the set of bogey events. One day the captain might let him compete
in his favourite events. Peter Gibbons continued to sprint well but also
demonstrated he can throw a javelin well when needed. JT postponed his trip to Hong
Kong in order to do the long jump and Andrew Taylor didn't let stitches in the
forehead stop him from the other throws and the 800m.
Despite these and other efforts we faced tough competition and I was pleased with
third place. The season has started well and I hope to field another strong team at
the next match on 6 June in Horsham. Having said "strong" I will settle for
"willing" so why not join in?
Thanks again to all who are helping out this season.

Match Report;
Thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday. Thanks especially to Lisa and
Catherine for coming out to officiate.
The Div 3 team was a little depleted but we came a very respectable 3rd, and
just a mere 3 1/2 points behind 2nd. And ahead of our friends QPH.
I¹m pleased to report we took 1st places in the A string 800m, A&B 1500m,
A&B 5k, A&B Steeplechase and B string 400m.
It was an interesting day for me to act as stand-in captain. Good news came
in the form of the pole vault being cancelled due to part of the host¹s
stand being broken. Bad news came in the form of a no-show and Nick
Barberis¹s head colliding with one of the high jump upstands. Lucky for Nick
(and the rest of us), new recruit, Manuel, drove down with his wife and son,
who kindly took Nick to hospital. The other downside of this was Manuel¹s
family missing him win the A string 800m in flying form. We¹re looking
forward to seeing more of Manuel in the future as he showed himself to be
both willing and versatile on the track (taking on the 800, 400, 200 and the
4x4 relay).
Simon Barrett, who came to do only the 5k, won that, along with the 1500m.
Eric Phillips, suffering from glandular fever, seemed to race most of the
events on the track and won the steeplechase as well as his string of the
1500 and 5k. And he ran a storming 1st leg in the 4x100m relay.
Roger Coyle came out for a half day and was willing to do anything, winning
the B 400m along the way.
Pete Gibbons came out with some solid performances (bizarrely) in the
throwing events.
Lippy and Ashley brought us 2nds and 3rds in the throws against what
seemed to be a monster hammer thrower from East Grinstead.
Ebrima, solid as ever, won his string in the 800m and steeplechase.
Last event of the day was a very exciting 4x400m relay. Manuel, led out with
a strong 1st leg taking us into 2nd at the first changeover; Simon pushed
out and overtook the leader on the back straight and giving me a 30m lead
over the East Grinstead team; I thought I could hear the East Grinstead
runner on the back straight so kept pushing round to hand Eric about an 80m
lead for the final leg. At 250m, Eric still had about 80m on the next
runner (Dan Medcalf from East Grinstead and winner of the 100 and 200m
races). At that point, Simon Barrett said to me ³he¹d do well to lose it
with that lead². In the next few seconds we saw Eric¹s lead diminish to
around 30m as he came on to the final straight. At this point, Serpie
spectators were on their feet in the stands shouting, and the rest of the
relay team was sweating at the finish line, screaming ourselves hoarse.
Eric must have noticed his lead shrinking as he pushed his was to win the
race (with an exhausted Dan about 3 meters behind him). Afterwards, Eric
commented: ³you didn¹t really think he was going to catch me, did you?² - to
which quite a few people replied ŒYES!¹ But he didn¹t.
Fantastic way to finish a great match.

When it comes to James Wan's Fast & Furious 7, there's no better source for updates than Vin Diesel. And certainly not one to shy away from exclusive Fast news, Vinny recently let out a secret involving a cameo from a certain female rapper. He teased:
Iggy Azaela, I just worked with her about two weeks ago... We casted her in 'Fast & Furious 7'. She has a cameo in 'Fast & Furious 7'.
Exactly how big is that role, and what kind of acting chops does Iggy have? We'll have to wait and find when the movie hits theaters April 3, 2015.
Still, pretty exciting news. And if these awesome movie cameos are anything to go on, then we should be in for a right treat! Check this little lot out...
Martin Scorsee, Taxi Driver
Who dat weirdo in the back of Travis Bickle's cab? Duh, it's Scorsese!
Stan Lee, Marvel Movies
The co-creator of Marvel's mightiest heroes is always "The Man," a good luck charm in each of the comic book adaptations.
Bill Murray, Zombieland
A movie-stealing appearance as himself, in a zombiefied Hollywood. Badmouthing his involvement with the woeful Garfield movies? Priceless.
Tom Cruise, Tropic Thunder
After his couch-jumping antics led to public embarrassment and a tarnished image, Tom needed a comedy to prove he didn't take himself so seriously.
Michael Cera, This Is the End
I'm not sure anyone will ever be able to erase the memory of Cera enjoying himself in the bathroom.
So, although we're yet to see what role Iggy will get in Fast 7, no doubt you're going to notice her! I'm SO looking forward to how the story progresses with her addition, Jason Statham's fleshed-out role after his blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in Fast 6, and seeing how the movie moves around the tragic death of Paul Walker.
Are you looking forward to seeing Iggy Azelea in Fast & Furious 7?

London Fashion Week Men's PreviewGents, its that time of the year again. Whilst all the rest of the country are battling through frozen arctic temperatures and suffering with colds, the fashion pack are descending on London en masse to celebrate the best of men's fashion. London kicks off fashion weeks around the world and we've got the lowdown on everything you need to be watching out for over those few days.
LCM has become LFWMWhilst the change is not huge, the former "London Collections: Men" that we have become so fond of, has now become "London Fashion Week Men's." It essentially means that the men's shows are given the same respect as the women's with a packed four day schedule of fashion week shows, presentations and parties.
The Savile Row designersSartorial Sunday is always a highlight for us. Its when we get to see the preview of new season offerings from some of the finest tailors in the world – Richard James, Chester Barrie, Gieves & Hawkes and Duchamp are just a few of the names to be looking out for.
Street styleFor those that are not hugely into previewing autumn 2017 collections in spring, look to the streets for some spectacular style. Expect to see regulars like Tinie Tempah, David Gandy, Oliver Cheshire as well as a whole host of designers, editors and stylists all dressed to impress and giving you style inspiration for the next twelve months.
The rise of the influencerBloggers have never been so important to the fashion industry. Last season "influencers" Oliver Proudlock, Tom Daley and Barrueco, who all command a huge social media following, all took to the front row. Expect to see a lot more of that this season.
Vivienne WestwoodEvery season there is one show that has to be seen. In the past its been Topman Design, Bobby Abley, Tom Ford and many more but this season the talk is all about the return of Vivienne Westwood. Following a year that has seen Trump awarded a presidency and Brexit, we can expect a politically charged show from the intelligent and cultured designer.

Job growth rebounded in April after a dismal March, which was due in part to harsh weather. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 211,000 jobs were created, above the 180,000 expected. The weak March number of 98,000 was revised lower to 79,000. February was revised higher to 232,000 from 219,000. The Unemployment Rate fell to 4.4 percent, the lowest level in 10 years. Within the report it showed that total unemployment, or the U-6 number, fell to 8.6 ...Continue Reading →
Debunking Mortgage Myths – Borrowers Education
A 30-year fixed loan is the best option
Typically, when people hear the word "mortgage," they think of a 30-year fixed loan. While this is the most common loan type, it is not necessarily the best for every buyer.
ARMs (adjustable rate mortgages) are great for home buyers who don't plan to live in their home for a long period of time. While the interest rate can fluctuate — or adjust — after the first few years, depending on the type of ...Continue Reading →
First Time Home Buyers – Who Are They and How Will They Buy
While the role of first-time home borrowers hasn't changed much over time—they are generally vacating rental housing to move into starter homes—the characteristics of these new home borrowers has definitely evolved. Today's first-time home buyers are older, less likely to be married, and purchasing more expensive homes than they have in the past.
What does this mean for mortgage lenders when these new buyers are ready to purchase a home? By understanding what drives their decisions, you can be more prepared ...Continue Reading →
Mortgage Rates Are Rising
For most lenders, you'd have to go back to late June in order to see mortgage rates any higher than they were today, although several lenders did offer improvements as market conditions allowed in the afternoon. Additionally, there really wasn't much upward movement in rates from yesterday. Rather, this is simply the culmination of a slow, steady move higher over the past 2 weeks. For now, the worst side effect of this gradual movement is that it's finally ...Continue Reading →
Boomers Continue to Ignore Conventional Wisdom
Oh those Baby Boomers. Even as they age they don't retire, at least not from the public stage. This week those over age 55 were the subject of Freddie Mac's Insight report.
Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sean Becketti says the conventional wisdom is that Boomers, those born from the time World War II ended through 1964, are like Peter Pan, they refuse to grow older, not retiring but launching instead second and third careers, shunning senior centered communities in favor of ...Continue Reading →
First-Time Buyers Are At It Again Home Sales Are Up Again
Sales of existing homes increased in June for the fourth consecutive month. The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) said it was encouraged to see the month also bring a modest increase in the percentage of first-time homebuyers.
Sales of existing single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and cooperative apartments rose 1.1 percent from May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.57 million units. Sales in May were at a rate of 5.51 million, a downward revision from the 5.530 million originally reported. ...Continue Reading →

ESSENCE Magazine ranks Berea College 18 out of 50 on its list of top colleges for African-Americans. ESSENCE collaborated with MONEY Magazine to "create a definitive list of schools that serve us the most," said Kenneth Terrell, a writer with ESSENCE.
Drawing from federal data that MONEY Magazine uses for its annual list, ESSENCE added their own criteria for racial climate, including representation (meaning that African-Americans had to make up at least 5% of the enrollment), affordability, and post graduate earnings. During the 2015-2016, academic year African-American students made up 20.3% of Berea's student body, an increase from 19.8% in the previous academic year.
Berea College was the first interracial and coeducational college in the south. Berea only admits academically promising students with limited financial resources, and awards every student a tuition promise scholarship, meaning no student at Berea pays tuition. Berea is also one of seven federally recognized work colleges, and each student works 10 hours or more weekly, earning money for books, supplies, housing, and food.
In addition to the ESSENCE/MONEY ranking for African-American students, MONEY also named Berea the #1 in the 50 Most Affordable Colleges. To see the ESSENCE ranking visit:
To see the MONEY video about Berea as the most affordable College visit: http://time.com/money/4391670/best-value-colleges-money/?xid=homepage
Berea College, the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, focuses on learning, labor and service. The College admits only academically promising students with limited financial resources, primarily from Kentucky and Appalachia, although students come from 40 states and 60 countries. Every Berea student receives a Tuition Promise Scholarship, which means no Berea student pays for tuition. Berea is one of eight federally recognized Work Colleges, so students work 10 hours or more weekly, earning money for books, housing, and meals. The College's motto, "God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth, (Acts 17:26)" speaks to its inclusive Christian character.

text: So I finish up a property today and set the blower down between the truck and trailer after I finished blowing off the sidewalks. I take one final look around to make sure everything is done on the property with a walk through. Everything looks great so I climb into the truck and start to drive away. CRUNCH!!! I ran over the blower with the trailer and its lodge under the trailer. So I have to throw the truck into reverse (which does more damage to the blower) just to get it out from under the trailer. I was lucky enough that I only damaged a small area on the blower (one of the air thingys), only cost me about $40, but still I was so worried that I ruined it totally.

The 5 piece bar set also comes complete with four comfortable cushions to add to the chairs, making them even more relaxing. This product needs to be assembled and all the required tools are included in the set. The dimensions of this set are: Table 48″ length x 48″ width x 42″ height and its weight is 56 lbs. The comfortable chairs are 28″ depth x 24″ width x 50″ height with a seat high of 29", and every chair weights 20 lbs.
As you can see, the chairs and the table are lightweight with high resistance thanks to the cast aluminum in which they are made. More benefits of having a bar set made by cast aluminum are the resistance of extreme temperature fluctuations, it is corrosion resistant and it is very hygienic, something to keep in mind when you have furniture outdoors. Another lovely characteristic is that this wonderful bar set is finished in a beautiful Deser Brown color.
If you want to have a durable bar set on your patio, the quality of the CBM Heaven Collection assures you a duration of years, with a sturdy and strong comfortable seating with wide leg positioning if it is required. Assembling all the parts is very easy, after receiving the product at your home you will only have to dedicate a few minutes to finish it. Once you have it set up on the patio, you will receive many compliments on it, no doubt.

Nidalee Build
Jungle Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Oh Nidalee, how you have changed. Nobody wants to play her AP anymore because an AD bruiser seems to be the way to go solo top. Well, I've been trying to figure out an AP build that brings her back to the healing for 600+, spears for over 1k, favorite legendary poker she once was. And I think I have the build to do just that.
Before you look at the masteries, runes, etc. and count the build out completely, keep scrolling, give the build a shot. If you've been playing Nidalee for some time like I have, you'll want to give AP a shot again (That spear connecting with an AD carry / support for a kill... priceless)
Unfortunately, this build may not do as well without runes and masteries required for a level 30, so keep that in mind if you're trying her without runes. They help tremendously early game and allow her to solo top very well against most common picks.
Masteries for Solo Top
his mastery pages focuses on, again, mid-late game, with some added AD for early game farming or poking.
The bonuses:
+Increase to summoner spells (if you have it, otherwise spend this point on whatever you'd like)
+4 damage vs minions (last hitting)
+3 AD (last hitting + near negligible increase in poke)
+4% CDR (Why not? More for our next mastery bonus...)
+10% Mpen (Must-have)
+1 AP/lvl (To tack onto our runes. More beneficial then 4 points anywhere else at this point in the tree)
+5% total AP (uh.. yes)
+6% damage vs targets 40% health or lower (surprisingly good for Nidalee spears + Takedown)
+12 mana per level (not necessarily worthwhile, but needed for next mastery)
+3 mana regen per 5 seconds (Very helpful)
+1% movement speed (not extremely noticeable, but adds onto our quints and passive)
+buff duration (when you get a blue/red, you want it to last as long as possible.)
