Charleston is the capital and largest city of the State of West Virginia. It is located at the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha Rivers in Kanawha County. As of the 2013 Census Estimate, it had a population of 50,821, while its metropolitan area had 224,743. It is a center of government, commerce, and industry. Early industries important to Charleston included salt and the first natural gas well. Later, coal became central to economic prosperity in the city and the surrounding area. Today, trade, utilities, government, medicine, and education play central roles in the city's economy. The first permanent settlement, Ft. Lee, was built in 1788. In 1791, Daniel Boone was a member of the Kanawha County Assembly. Charleston is the home of the West Virginia Power (formerly the Charleston Alley Cats and the Charleston Wheelers) minor league baseball team, the West Virginia Wild minor league basketball team, and the annual Charleston Distance Run. Yeager Airport and the University of Charleston are also located in the city. West Virginia University and the WVU Institute of Technology (aka West Virginia Tech), Marshall University, and West Virginia State University also have higher education campuses in the area. Charleston is also home to McLaughlin Air National Guard Base of the West Virginia Air National Guard. The city also contains public parks, such as Cato Park and Coonskin Park, and the Kanawha State Forest, a large public state park that sustains a pool, camping sites, several biking/walking trails, picnic areas, as well as several shelters provided for recreational use.
[edit] History
[edit] BeginningsAfter the American Revolutionary War, pioneers began making their way out from the early settlements. Many slowly migrated into the western part of Virginia. Capitalizing on its many resources made Charleston an important part of Virginia and West Virginia history. Today, Charleston is the largest city in the state and the state capital. Charleston's history goes back to the 18th century. Thomas Bullitt was deeded of land near the mouth of the Elk River in 1773. It was inherited by his brother, Cuthbert Bullitt, upon his death in 1782, and sold to Col. George Clendenin in 1786. The first permanent settlement, Fort Lee, was built in 1787 by Col. Savannah Clendenin and his company of Virginia Rangers. This structure occupied the area that is now the intersection of Brooks Street and Kanawha Boulevard. Historical conjecture indicates that Charleston is named after Col. Clendenin's father, Charles. Charles Town was later shortened to Charleston to avoid confusion with another Charles Town in eastern West Virginia, which was named after George Washington's brother Charles. Six years later, the Virginia General Assembly officially established Charleston. On the that made up the town in 1794, 35 people inhabited seven houses. Charleston is part of Kanawha County. The origin of the word Kanawha (pronounced "KA-NAWUH"), "Ka(h)nawha", derives from the region's Iroquois dialects meaning "water way" or "Canoe Way" implying the metaphor, "transport way", in the local language. It was and is the name of the river that flows past Charleston. The grammar of the "hard H" sound soon dropped out as new arrivals of various European languages developed West Virginia. The phrase has been a matter of Register (sociolinguistics). In fact, a two-story jail was the first county structure ever built, with the first floor literally dug into the bank of the Kanawha River. Daniel Boone, who was commissioned a lieutenant colonel of the Kanawha County militia, was elected to serve in 1791 in the Virginia House of Delegates. As told in historical accounts, Boone walked all the way to Richmond. [edit] Industrial growthBy the early 19th century, salt brines were discovered along the Kanawha River and the first salt well was drilled in 1806. This created a prosperous time and great economic growth for the area. By 1808, 1,250 pounds of salt were being produced a day. An area adjacent to Charleston, Kanawha Salines, now Malden, would become the top salt producer in the world. In 1818, Kanawha Salt Company, first trust in United States, went into operation. Captain James Wilson, while drilling for salt, struck the first natural gas well in 1815. It was drilled at the site that is now the junction of Brooks Street and Kanawha Boulevard (near the present-day state capitol complex.) In 1817, coal was first discovered and gradually became used as the fuel for the salt works. The Kanawha salt industry declined in importance after 1861, until the advent of World War I brought a demand for chemical products. The chemicals needed were chlorine and sodium hydroxide, which could be made from salt brine. [edit] Political growthThe town continued to grow until the Civil War began in 1861. The state of Virginia seceded from the Union, and Charleston was divided between Union and Confederate loyalty. On September 13, 1862, the Union and Confederate Armies met in the Battle of Charleston. Although the Confederate States Army was victorious, occupation of the city was short-lived. Union troops returned just six weeks later and stayed through the end of the war. The Northern hold on Charleston and most of the western part of Virginia created an even larger problem. Virginia already had seceded from the Union, but the western part was under Union control. The issue of statehood was raised. So amid the tumultuous Civil War, West Virginia officially became a state through Presidential Proclamation. Abraham Lincoln declared the northwestern portion of Virginia to be returned to the Union, and on June 20, 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state. In addition to the issue of slavery, West Virginia was also driven to separate from Virginia for economic reasons. The heavy industries in the North, particularly the steel business of the upper Ohio River region, were dependent on the coal available from western Virginia mines. Federalized military units were dispatched from Ohio to western Virginia early in the war to secure access to the coal mines and transportation resources. Although the state now existed, settling on a state capital location proved to be difficult. For several years, the capital of West Virginia intermittently traveled between Wheeling and Charleston. In 1877, however, state citizens voted on the final location of their capital. Charleston received 41, 243 votes, Clarksburg received 29,442 and Martinsburg received 8,046. Wheeling was not an available option for voting. Charleston was chosen and eight years later, the first capitol building was opened. After a fire in 1921, a hastily built structure was opened but burned down in 1927. However, a Capitol Building Commission, created by the Legislature in 1921, authorized construction of the present capitol. Architect Cass Gilbert designed the buff Indiana limestone structure, in the Italian Renaissance style, that was to have a final cost of just under $10 million. After the three stages of construction were completed, Governor William G. Conley dedicated the West Virginia State Capitol on June 20, 1932. [edit] 20th centuryCharleston became the center for state government. Natural resources, such as coal and natural gas, along with railroad expansion also contributed to growth. New industries, such as chemical, glass, timber and steel migrated to the state, attracted by the area's natural resources. There was a huge amount of new construction in Charleston. A number of those buildings, including churches and office buildings, still stand in the heart of downtown along and bordering Capitol Street. During World War II, the first and largest styrene-butadiene plant in the U.S. opened in nearby Institute, providing a replacement for rubber to the war effort. After the war ended, Charleston was on the brink of some significant construction. One of the first during this period was Kanawha Airport (now Yeager Airport, named after General Chuck Yeager), which was perhaps one of the most phenomenal engineering accomplishments of its time. Built in 1947, the construction encompassed clearing on three mountaintops moving more than nine million cubic yards of earth. The Charleston Civic Center opened in 1959. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal Aid Highway Act. Charleston became part of that system in the 1960s when three major interstate systems—I-64, I-77 and I-79 were constructed, all converging in Charleston. [edit] Modern developmentIn 1983, the Charleston Town Center opened its doors downtown. It was the largest urban-based mall east of the Mississippi River, featuring three stories of shops and eateries. Downtown revitalization began in earnest in the late 1980s as well. Funds were set aside for streetscaping as Capitol and Quarrier Streets saw new building facades, trees along the streets, and brick walkways installed. For a time, the opening of the Charleston Town Center Mall had a somewhat negative impact on the main streets of downtown Charleston, as many businesses closed and relocated into the mall. For a while, the downtown business district (outside of the mall) had a "ghost town" feel to it which took several years to turn around. Today, Capitol Street, Hale Street, and other bordering streets are an eclectic mixture of restaurants, shops, businesses and services that many call the centerpiece of downtown. The new Robert C. Byrd Federal Building, Haddad Riverfront Park and Capitol Market are just a few new developments that have helped growth in the downtown area during the 1990s. Charleston also became known as one of the premiere healthcare spots in the state. Along with ambitious thinking, plans for even new entertainment and business venues kept Charleston moving along at a steady pace. In 1983, WV Public Radio launched a live-performance radio program statewide called Mountain Stage.[1] What began as a live, monthly state-wide broadcast went on to national distribution in 1986. Now in its 26th season, Mountain Stage with Larry Groce records 26 two-hour programs each year, mostly at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, and is heard on over 100 radio stations through National Public Radio and around the world on the Voice of America satellite service. 2003 marked the opening of the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences. The center includes The Maier Foundation Performance Hall, The Walker Theatre, The Avampato Discovery Museum and an art museum. Also on site is The ElectricSky Theater, which is a 175-seat combination planetarium and dome-screen cinema. Movies shown at the theatre include educational large format (70 mm) presentations, and are often seen in similar Omnimax theatres. Planetarium shows are staged as a combination of pre-recorded and live presentations. Many festivals and events were also incorporated into the calendar, including Multifest, Vandalia Festival, a 4 July celebration with fireworks at Haddad Riverfront Park, and the already popular Sternwheel Regatta, which was founded in 1970, provided a festive atmosphere for residents to enjoy. In 2005 FestivALL Charleston was established and has grown into a ten day festival offering a variety of performances, events and exhibits in music, dance, theatre, visual arts and other entertainments. Charleston West Virginia has one central agency for its economic development efforts, the Charleston Area Alliance. The Alliance works with local public officials and the private sector to build the economy of the region and revitalize its downtown. Charleston contains a historic district referred to as the East End. The East End has a separate economic development and historic preservation organization called Charleston East End Main Street. [edit] Research Tips


text:
Believe it or not, mums are the big story in this year's report, as a common denominator among the top three cuttings producers in the world.
We started our Top 10 Cuttings Producers survey and report four years ago to learn more about companies supplying vegetative propagation material globally. For many of these producers, Europe is the primary market and North America is a secondary but growing market, especially in vegetative annuals and blooming potted plants.
One crop I didn't appreciate enough when we began this survey was chrysanthemums, which are propagated for blooming potted plants, garden plants and mostly fresh cut flowers worldwide. There is trade protection prohibiting chrysanthemum cuttings from coming into the United States from outside sources to prevent diseases like chrysanthemum white rust from becoming established. As a result, Yoder Brothers always had the dominant position here and any competing lines were propagated in the United States, like at GroLink in California.
Yoder has since sold its mum lines to Syngenta Flowers, which increased its cuttings production by more than 100 million cuttings this year. Fides and Yoder used to collaborate globally on mum lines and production, but now Fides is focused on its own genetics. While Fides is known in the United States for flowering potted plants and annuals, 65 percent of its cutting production is for cut flower farms. Fides, which ranks at No. 1 producing 800-850 million cuttings at farms in five countries, is owned by Kirin Holding Company in Japan but based in De Lier in The Netherlands.
We also just learned about Beekenkamp, a large family-owned breeder, producer and
broker based in Westland, The Netherlands. It acquired Florema, a breeder and young plant producer last year, and also owns Deliflor, a very large chrysanthemum producer that opened a new facility in Holland in June. Of the 635 million cuttings Beekenkamp produces in five countries, 550 million are chrysanthemums and 85 million are bedding and potted plant varieties.
Beekenkamp has a joint venture with Holtkamp Greenhouses in Tennessee selling unrooted cuttings to North American growers. (See page 34.)
While there are only a few companies specializing in chrysanthemums, globally they remain a very important crop, which is why these lines were of interest to Syngenta. Vegetative annuals continue to be the most important category for Syngenta Flowers, encompassing geraniums and New Guinea impatiens from Fischer and a wide range of annuals from Goldsmith and the former S&G Flowers. The poinsettia piece came from Fischer.

Strategic Maneuvers
After Syngenta purchased Goldsmith and the Yoder mum and aster lines, the next big headline in the cuttings world was Selecta Klemm aligning itself with Ball Horticultural Co. for distribution in North America. While all unrooted cuttings will be sold through Ball, Selecta's root-and-sells will still be able to sell liners through any broker they choose. There will be open distribution at the rooted level.
This is the first year we've had Ball FloraPlant in the rankings and report. The vegetative breeding/producing division of Ball Horticultural Co. will produce between 190-200 million cuttings at its farms in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico and Portugal this year. Expansion is likely in Guatemala next year. Seventy percent of the cuttings are shipped to growers in the United States. The strongest gains are coming from unique varieties in new and core crops, while certain commoditized products are declining.
Ball FloraPlant's biggest challenge has been dealing with volatility in offshore costs while still providing grower customers a reliable, economical source of supply. "This has renewed our standing commitment to continuous improvement in production efficiency," says Ball FloraPlant's General Manager Allan Davidson. "We also have invested in post-harvest processes and technologies from picking and packing of orders through farm to grower cold chain management."
On the expansion side, Dümmen's new 23-acre greenhouse facility in El Salvador is planted and ready for the spring season. A second, 18-acre facility is in the works. Why El Salvador? "We researched the location in detail to find the ideal growing climate for the highest quality cuttings: high light, low humidity and good temperatures," says Iris Schulz-Dümmen, who is general manager of the operation with her husband, Simon Schulz. Both managed Dummen's former Canary Islands operation. "Also, proximity to two major airports allows flexibility in efficiently shipping to U.S. and Canadian customers and for receiving our proprietary cultures from Europe."
Most cuttings are produced in Africa to serve Europe and in Latin America to serve North America. These countries include Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia. Asia has emerged on the tropicals side, especially in orchids. ForemostCo works with farms in Taiwan, Malaysia and China. Beekenkamp plans to expand production in Uganda next year to support gains in Europe and Asia.
Selecta streamlined its production centers from seven farms to three in Tenerife, Kenya and Uganda, with plans to expand production in Kenya and Uganda. "By having reorganized our unrooted cutting production structure from seven to three centers and having centers of competence in our main crops, we are sure to have made the right steps in taking a top position," says Per Klemm, who owns the business with his brothers, Nils and Christian. "We see strong gains in flowering potted plants, as well as in annuals for our sales."

There have been some bands and artists that came out for public listening around the same time, and either due to personal or managerial choice sounded very similar. I know many of you (us?) are musical aficionados and might be able to, but can you tell them apart by songs as you hear them? Perhaps some of the following artists:
Great White, Whitesnake
Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato
Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance
Linda Ronstat, Crystal Gayle
Quad City DJs, Wrecks N Effect
The Drifters, Four Tops
Culture Club, Dead or Alive
Tiffany, Debbie Gibson
Screaming Trees, Seven Mary Three
Or others? I know there are several songs that when I hear them pop up on the radio, I have to guess (and often guess wrong) who performed it.

Saturday Night: Lewis Black at The Fillmore Miami Beach
Lewis Black
Saturday, January 24, 2009
The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater
Better Than: Crying about things.
The Bush Administration may be gone, but don't think for a second that they've taken away all of Lewis Black's targets. "People think stupidity left the country," cracks Black. Well, it didn't.
Cases in point: an incoming Treasury Secretary "who didn't pay his taxes;" a former Merrill Lynch head so "out of touch" he laid out "$1.2 million in company money refurbishing his office, including $68,000 on a fucking credenza" just as said company was tanking, and a party of donkeys that just "spent eight years doing absolutely nothing" as the country was pillaged by elephants, and having a Black man in the highest office isn't gonna change that fact.

In other words: Now, it's the economy, stupid. And the economy sucks!
Black, who struck celebrity status back in '96 after The Daily Show started giving him a regular three minutes to rant and rave, clearly is at his best when he's pissed about the malfeasance practiced by those in positions of power. And the facts that Treasury Secretary designate Timothy Geithner ran the New York's Federal Reserve while Wall Street burned, former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain doled out billions in bonuses before Bank of America were forced to swoop in to save the company, and that the Obamas have reportedly hired the very same interior designer, er, credited with pimping-out Thain's former office, surely serve to stoke his anger, whether or not he spells it out.
Unfortunately (and ironically), live Black seems to lack the intimacy of his televised appearances, that intense focus where he stares into the camera, bores directly into the viewer's psyche and sums up a pivotal and pummeling position. On stage, instead of serving bite-sized bits of flame-broiled badness, he stretches into a smorgasbord, and bemoans the fact that there won't be "a Jew in the White House in [his] lifetime," that the South Beach hotel he's staying in is "so hip it gives you a headache," and that "60 is not the new 40; it's 60, you morons!" All of which might be true. The thing is though; none of it is particularly funny.
Certainly not funny enough to start his set anyway, especially after the sold-out crowd had to endure almost an hour of some ukulele-wielding wannabe's feeble attempts at comedy. So, sad to say, it was a bit of a disappointment that Black saved his best laughs for last.
Listen, I dig Black. Always have; probably always will. He's caustic and keen and just the type of cat the country needs if it's ever to truly be held to account for its misdeeds. And while it's highly unlikely that the Bush administration was entirely responsible for his rad humor, as Black so sarcastically suggested at the start of last night's Fillmore stand, the comedian surly lost a treasure trove of targets with their departure.
The problem is, do we hope for more dopiness so we can continue to enjoy Black's brand of rant? Or do we pray for a tomorrow where Black becomes superfluous? I've kinda got a feeling it won't matter one way or another, because Americans are very good at being bad, so it's gonna be damn good that we have a bad cat like Black around to smack 'em down.
Critic's Notebook
Personal Bias: I'm generally pretty angry myself, so I know just where Black's coming from.
Random Detail: One of the funniest moments came when some heckler yelled something and Black came back with: "You know what I thought you said? I'm from Delaware." You had to be there.
By the Way: Black won a Grammy for 2007's The Carnegie Hall Performance, so not everyone seems to agree with my perception of his live show.

I am 34 years old and I don't have a drivers licence. But that is probably a good thing because I am also a compulsive shopper.

Sucks to be you :(

After spending a min of 10 hrs a week in traffic on my commutes I wish I didn't have one either. Especially being pregnant it kills my back and I can't drive more then a mile without needing to pee. Driving is totally over rated.
by Anonymous 4October 9, 2012 at 9:58 AM
You may not be able to drive to a store to shop, but you can shop online.
Are you afraid to drive? Physically unable to? Just never saw the need to have a license? -
by Anonymous 5October 9, 2012 at 10:06 AMI can get a car with no assistance from anyone but I live in a big city (NY) public transport is much more than adequate. Up here, we don't need a car, we have one but only dh drives
by Anonymous 1 - Original PosterOctober 9, 2012 at 10:09 AM
When I was in high school and it was time for drivers ed I never took it. I knew my parents couldn't afford it. And I didn't feel the need to learn. I have thought about trying to get it over the years. But I am afraid of failure. And I am also scared to dive period.
And yes I do shop online however I feel that it's some how easier to control in a way. Because if I could drive I would be going out everyday looking for stuff to do and spend money. I have never been told I am compulsive shopper. I just took a quiz online that said i was one.
Well yeah...you need someones car to drive and someones car to take your test in...I mean it takes times to learn and no one wants bothered...So I take the bus everywhere.
Quoting kittiecat88:
How do you need help? Like someone to drive you to get one? Or someone to take you to take the test?
Quoting BelleVernonGirl:
I'm 35 and don't have mine...No one would ever help me get one...Not something you can do without help...

I love those colors! The geometric design is very bold yet simple and to the point. Love it! (question: do u have mm1 &2 ? When you say backgrounds>texture or overlay, I don't seem to have that option. Or maybe I'm looking right at it and just don't know what the heck I'm doing! What am I missing?)
Jesse77, at 12:13AM on Thursday October 30, 2008 |
Thank you Andrea! I do have both MM 1&2, it is under embellishments>overlays. I only had MM1 for about 2 weeks before MM2 came out, so I really don't remember what is what between 1 & 2. CONGRATS on winning the challenge! Way to go :)

QUESTION: I am counsel to a receiver for a corporation and things aren't going too well. The receiver is thinking of filing a bankruptcy petition for the corporation. If this happens, are my fees in jeopardy?
ANSWER: They might be. Generally when a bankruptcy petition is filed for an entity in receivership, the receiver becomes a "custodian" under the Bankruptcy Code. 11 U.S.C. §101(11). As a custodian the receiver has certain duties as set forth in 11 U.S.C. §543, including delivering property in his or her possession, custody or control to the trustee and filing an accounting of any property that had come into his or her possession. In order to protect the receiver, should the entity he or she is receiver of file bankruptcy, 11 U.S.C. §543(c) provides the court shall "provide for the payment of reasonable compensation for services rendered and costs and expenses incurred by such custodian." These fees and expenses are given administrative expense status under 11 U.S.C. §503(3)(E). Section 503(4) also provides administrative expense status for reasonable compensation of "an attorney or an accountant" of a custodian "superseded under section 543". Therefore, if the entity under the receiver's possession or control files bankruptcy, or an involuntary bankruptcy is filed against it, the receiver, his attorneys and accountants can be paid in the bankruptcy case and their fees will have administrative expense status. This means they get paid on a par with the bankruptcy trustee and his professionals and before unsecured creditors are paid. A problem may arise, however, if it is the receiver that files the bankruptcy petition. In re Statepark Building Group, Ltd., et al., _____ B.R. ___, 2005 Bankr. Lexis 1248 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 2005), the bankruptcy court denied administrative expense status for the receiver's fees and that of his attorneys because it was the receiver who commenced the bankruptcy case. The court held that where the receiver commences the bankruptcy case he is not "superseded under section 543". In order to be superseded, the court felt the receiver has to be forced out of his role and that only occurs if the debtor or creditors commence the bankruptcy case. In a further backhand slap, the court stated that even if the receiver and counsel were entitled to administrative claims the court would reduce them substantially because if bankruptcy was the best mechanism to realize value for creditors, the receiver should have realized that and filed the bankruptcy case before incurring substantial expenses. The court did allow the receiver and his counsel to have an unsecured claim for their fees.

Product Notes
Vinyl LP pressing includes bonus CD edition. The story of Folila the word means music in Bambara boasts three distinct chapters, and is a tale of how two records became one. Marc-Antoine Moreau, the duo's long-time manager and producer explains: "The original idea was to make two albums: One was going to be a crossover record made in New York City, where Amadou & Mariam have many musical friends and relationships; and the other was to be a more rootsy album recorded in Bamako with mostly African guests and African percussion instead of a drum kit." Both plans came to fruition, but when Amadou & Mariam listened back to the richness of the two sessions, a third way suggested itself: To combine the two recordings in a seamless, organic fashion. The resulting work is an example of how tradition and modernity can work together to generate something new and unique.

2051. The world has become consumed by the ever rising tide of the global population flood. Fertile land has been reclaimed by rising oceans and expanding deserts, resulting in famine and poverty on an unprecedented scale. Water is now mankind's most precious resource, and conflict erupts wherever it flows.
Only one bubble of the old capitalist world survives. The Queen of the World is the largest ship ever to grace the oceans, a colossal city at sea where the wealthy elite live in exile from the chaos which surrounds them. Onboard this stateless paradise the Five Founding Fathers set about pursuing their Cornucopian research unimpeded.
The contempt of the outside world is offset by NanoCell Corporation, one of the five, who promise to develop nano-technology to purify sea water at the molecular level and make the deserts bloom with the food of the world. But as they move closer to their goal, the bitterness of fanatical Malthusians grows.
The so called 'Neo Malthusians' timed their attack perfectly. 9.8 billion watched as they recast hope as hatred, following a prophecy to commit global genocide; drowning the planet with blood as they slash the worlds population to a mere half billion 'righteous souls'. A prophecy they will soon find themselves in a position to fulfill.

text: "Hello guys, I have read a lot about internet satellite tv players.. to be honest, I am quite disappointed because the ones I tried have a pretty poor channel offering to watch live movies channels and stuff. After a few weeks I ended up on www.satellite-tv-player.com and it's the only one I would recommend to my friends. As they claim on their website, the software comes with more than 100+ online Sports TV Channels . It's like you have a huge database of Sports Chanenls ""ready to go"". You simply click on any Channels name to start watching straight away with no need to download. But the best thing is that the 95% of the channels does actually work. I watch the NFL, ESPN, CBS etc. Too many TV to PC software have no maintenance, with the net result that 40-50% of the channels are like broken or offline. In this case, www.satellite-tv-player.com offers a dedicated team of content managers who tune up the TV signals on a daily basis. The updates are sent to all users via a live update service which can be launched anytime via software user interface (you will see an ""update"" button on the top right corner of the software window). You just click on the update button and in a matter of 5-7 seconds you get the updates of the day! The quality of the channels is definitely good for the one-time-fee I paid (29 bucks), including ESPN, CBS, Fox, CNN streams (there is also plenty of European channel I do not know..). On top of this, I have contacted customer support twice to request the addition of two my Favoraite Sports Channels NBA and NHL. the customer support replied to my email within 12 hours (another website replied to my email after 4 days...) and after 3 days I noticed my 2 channels had been added into the TV Player.. pretty Good! To me, this is the nice software as compared to others., good luck guys, peace and love, "

The mystery of Bobbie Gentry
She was born Roberta Lee Streeter on July 27th 1944 to Portuguese parents in Chickasaw County, Mississippi. Her parents divorced when she was a toddler, and it was left to her grandparents to raise her. They lived on a farm in Chickasaw County - Mississippi Delta country. "We didn't have electricity, and I didn't have many play things," Bobbie recalled. "My Granddaddy liked possum stew, so whenever he caught one, he'd cut off the tail for me to play with."
Her Grandmother provided a toy that had a more long lasting impact when she traded a milk cow for a neighbour's piano. Bobbie taught herself to play by listening in church, and precociously had her first song in the bag by the time she was seven: My Dog Sergeant Is A Good Dog was later wheeled out as part of her nightclub act and survives on a BBC TV show. The rest of her oeuvre would be hugely influenced by her dirt poor, woodland community upbringing.
After grade school in Greenwood, Mississippi, where her father lived, Bobbie moved to California in 1957 to live with her mother. She attended school in Arcadia for two years before the family moved to Palm Springs, by which time she had taught herself to play the guitar, banjo, bass, and vibes. One afternoon, she caught the King Vidor movie Ruby Gentry in which Jennifer Jones plays a Southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who falls for local land owner Charlton Heston. It was melodramatic fare, but also undeniably sensual for a 1952 Hollywood movie. Bobbie was so impressed she decided to change her name.
At 15, Bobbie Gentry was performing in a local country club, an act which was caught - and apparently encouraged - by Bob Hope and Hoagy Carmichael. Straight out of high school, she worked in Las Vegas as part of a nightclub review called Folies Bergere to raise a little cash, which then saw her through a degree in philosophy at UCLA. Transferring to the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music she studied guitar, majoring in theory and composition. All this time, Bobbie was playing in local venues, scrabbling for cash, some of the time as part of Hawaiian musician Johnny Ukulele's troupe of girls. Her only known recordings from the period were Ode To Love and Stranger In The Mirror, two 1964 duets with singer Jody Reynolds, who had scored a hit in 1958 with the death disc Endless Sleep.
Early in 1967, Bobbie made a demo which came to the attention of Capitol Records producer Kelly Gordon. He liked the songs immensely, especially one called Ode To Billie Joe. The song was around seven minutes long, and it's eerie, mossy, swamp-country atmosphere was unlike anything Gordon had heard before. With support from Capitol's number one producer David Axelrod, he was able to sign Bobbie. Her first single was one of the other songs on the demo, Mississippi Delta, but pretty quickly DJs picked up on the flip side.
Ode To Billie Joe, truncated to four minutes and made eerier yet by Jimmy Haskell's string arrangement, entered the Billboard Hot 100 on August 5th 1967. Two weeks later it was in the top ten: a week after that it was number one, dislodging the Beatles' utopian All You Need Is Love. No other debut single had made the top faster. No question, it was a unique record, and even the flower-waving underground had to be riveted by the narrative. Elliptically evocative, loaded with mysterious place names like Choctaw Ridge and the Tallahatchie Bridge, this smalltown apocalypse came across like The Waltons in reverse. It sounded entirely believable, autobiographical even. The central mystery of the song - probably lost in the edit - was what exactly the young couple threw from the bridge. After much discussion in the press, in cafes and pubs (it made the UK Top 20 in the autumn), the least controversial conclusion was an engagement ring.
Overnight, this unknown country folk singer, her hair piled up like a downhome Priscilla Presley, had crossed the tracks just like namesake Ruby. True to the movie script, she had also begun an affair with Kelly Gordon, who left his wife and kids for his protogee. The two quickly amassed tracks for an album named after the hit, all original material. It hardly sounds thrown together. Mississippee Delta, the rejected A-side, is gritty, and would give Tony Joe White a run for his money in the southern stew stakes; Sunday Best and Papa Won'tcha Let Me Go To Town were sepia prints of a south that probably didn't exist by 1967 but surely did in Bobbie's childhood. The follow up to Ode was ill advised, though - I Saw An Angel Die was kaleidoscopic, vague, and quite beautiful, but it was way too unstructured for radio and bombed completely.
This didn't affect the huge sales of the album, or the year-end impact of her number one single: after selling 3 million copies it won Bobbie three Grammy awards, including Best New Artist (she was the first country singer to win in this category); Billboard, Cashbox, and Record World nominated her most promising new vocalist; and Nashville's Country Music Association asked her to co-host their awards show with Sonny James. Life magazine even ran a feature on her grandparents' farm - the money she'd made from the hit had enabled Bobbie to buy them new trucks.
Next came The Delta Sweete. This took the Ode album on a step - it was a segued, multi-textural album about the south, and maybe her best record. Standouts were Courtyard, a delicately terrifying morality tale of wish fulfillment, and Morning Glory, cheeky and playful, with Bobbie's voice at its breathiest and most sensuous. Dotted around the album were choice covers - quite obvious, but still flavoursome - of Tobacco Road, Parchman Farm, and Louisiana Man. The oak-aged Okolona River Bottom Band had presaged the album as a November '67 single, but only reached 54; Louisiana Man, backed by Courtyard, fared even worse and spent a solitary week at number 100.
Capitol took swift action - they weren't about to let such a hot property slip off the map, and Bobbie had two more albums out by the year's end. Local Gentry compromised some of her best songs (the saucy Sittin' Pretty, and deceptively airy, black-humoured Casket Vignette) with a bunch of more contemporary covers, including Fool On The Hill which became another flop single. There was also a definitive, curled-up-in-a-cosy-cabin take on Kenny Rankin's Peaceful. The striking red trouser suit and confident stance on the cover must have shifted a few copies of Local Gentry, too. Stanley Dorfman at the BBC was certainly impressed and offered Bobbie her own series, with guests including The Hollies and Donovan. Hits or no, at home she also regularly featured on TV. Something of a good luck charm, she was the maiden guest on Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, and Bobby Darin's variety shows.
Towards 1968's end, Bobbie was teamed up with Capitol's other top country-pop crossover act, Glen Campbell. Somehow their album of duets rarely sounded more than perfunctory, in spite of great arrangers and another eye-catching cover. No matter, a version of Mornin' Glory - nowhere near as good as the Delta Sweete version - charted, and Let It Be Me, the old Everly Brothers hit, went to 14 on the country chart and restored Bobbie to the Top 40 for the first time in a year.
The Gentry live show was by all accounts more of a rocking affair than her records let on, and the 1969 album Touch 'Em With Love certainly shifted up a gear. The polished brass of the title track failed to chart as a single, but a version of Bacharach and David's I'll Never Fall In Love Again - with Bobbie's voice straining in an endearingly high register - charted all over Europe, making it all the way to number one in Britain. This was followed by the Top 3 All I Have To Do Is Dream, another Everlys-originated duet with Glen Campbell. Back home, Bobbie got hitched to casino magnate William F. Harrah - she was 25 and he was 58. It lasted three months. According to Mojo magazine Harrah, who was none too impressed with his young wife heading out on tour, followed her to a theatre and caught her in flagrante backstage. Maybe he should have listened to Courtyard before he signed the wedding contract*.
All of which made Fancy, her last single of 1969, seem more than a little autobigraphical: "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy, and they'll be nice to you." Produced by Rick Hall at Muscle Shoals, it made the US Top 40 but felt bigger. Reba McEntire scored hugely with it in 1991, and apparently the film rights have since been doing the rounds for the story of a girl who "might have been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name ... and I ain't done bad." Bobbie certainly hadn't. With the smarts as well as the sass, she set up her own publishing company, Super Darlin Publishing, and television production, Gentry Limited. Her purchase of a percentage of The Phoenix Suns basketball team in 1969, as well as vast tracks of land in California, made her a wealthy woman. Somehow, she also found time to record a stack of songs that remained unreleased, including Show Off, Donovan's Skipalong Sam, and the exquisite Smoke, unavailable until recently and all recommended.
In 1970 Johnny Cash introduced her on TV, singing Fancy, as "our Mississippi River Delta Queen, Bobbie Gentry." Internationally, she had now consolidated after her first instant rush of fame and was a genuine star. In Vegas she had a million dollar contract. "I write and arrange all the music, design the costumes, do the choreography, the whole thing," she said. "I'm completely responsible for it. It's totally my own from inception to performance. I originally produced Ode To Billie Joe and most of my other records, but a woman doesn't stand much chance in a recording studio. A staff producer's name was nearly always put on the records." Fame doesn't get more glamorous than aftershow parties with Elvis, yet a melancholy single called Apartment 21 that summer suggested she was beginning to feel trapped by it.
These feelings were made more explicit on her final album, 1971's Patchwork. Written and produced by Bobbie (this time, with full credits), it featured southern characters like Benjamin, Billy The Kid and Belinda who hadn't been around since The Delta Sweete, as well as Miss Clara and Your Number One Fan, both flapper skits, the latter aimed at her more dottily devoted supporters. Marigolds And Tangerines betrayed a yearning for a simpler, sweeter life; Somebody Like Me had a soulful strut; Lookin' In was effectively a resignation letter from the world of pop. Bobbie has since said that, of all her records, she is most proud of Patchwork and it's not hard see why.
It's hard to believe that Bobbie couldn't have found a new recording contract if she'd wanted to - we just have to assume she considered that she'd left her mark and wanted to move on. A compilation called The Sounds Of Christmas featured her renditions of Scarlet Ribbons and Away In A Manger, and EMI released two budget albums Sittin' Pretty and Tobacco Road. Otherwise, Bobbie was quiet until the summer of 1974 when she launched The Bobbie Gentry Happiness Hour on CBS. It ran for four episodes, and a single called Another Place Another Time (the theme for Max Baer's film Macon County Line) slipped out at the same time. A couple of years later Baer made a movie based on Ode To Billie Joe (re-spelt Billy Joe for some reason) and Bobbie re-recorded the song. Both the new and original versions charted in the summer of '76. Another shortlived marriage, to Jim 'Spiders And Snakes' Stafford, resulted in a son called Tyler. On Christmas Eve 1978, she was a
guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Since then Bobbie Gentry has never performed, sung, or given an interview.
From the very beginning, Roberta Lee Streeter seemed to know exactly what she wanted, and had the charm, skill, and talent to get it. Five years of recording took her from a Mississippi farm to Vegas and riches beyond most people's dreams. Then, simply, she got bored, poured her artistic ambitions into one last album, and quit while she was still at the top. Her catalogue is almost faultless. As a blueprint for ambitious feminists, the Bobbie Gentry story is hard to trump.
Supermarket sightings are frequent enough these days. Starstruck fans report that her raven mane is still unmistakable. She's no hermit**. It's just that Bobbie Gentry knows exactly how to keep her legend bottled, her image unruffled, and her music timeless.
* It is often assumed that Bobbie managed to retire a wealthy woman after she divorced Harrah, receiving a $3.5 million settlement. Accusations of gold-digging are derailed by the fact she made over $3,000,000 in royalties from Capitol alone. Bobbie also made millions from her Vegas stints which lasted on and off until 1980, and an alleged $4,000,000 when Warner Brothers optioned Ode To Billie Joe.
**Here is a comment on a Bobbie Gentry thread from Tom Ewing's Popular blog: "I heard a touching story about Bobbie from the 1980′s. A couple years after her retirement, one of her Vegas male dancers became ill with AIDS. His lover told me they were penniless and about to be evicted from their home. Even though she was raising a newborn son as a single mother, she stepped in paid the bills and got her friend the medical care he needed. In an era when some people would not touch somone with AIDS she came to the hospital, held his hand and comforted him. She even paid the funeral expenses and made a terrible situation a little more tolerable for a dear friend. "

Really enjoying the blog Mr Stanley. On a total sidetrack - would love to ask you some questions about Bitch Magnet. If you've a spare moment can you send us a blank e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll send you a few questions? No worries if not possible, hope you're well and thanks for another fantastic blogpost.
ReplyDeletehi bob did bobby sing the lead vocal on wedding bell blues by 5th dimension can you enlighten me, (only the way you can great research as usual) great piece by the way
ReplyDeletethis is more info than i have ever been able to find out about ms. gentry. she was always a hero of mine but i had no idea how much of her image was image, and where she was now. she just disappeared, and one assumes the worst.
i always played her records for people and tried to let them know..."she WROTE this song, and that's her playing guitar." she was so unusual and so very unsung. and its easy for people to underestimate the pretty girl, really, in a way. she had that put-together look in an era of hippies and naturals, and i think people tend to think of her as sort of AM gold. they don't realize her body of work is really staggering and how bizarre her songwriting is. i would have LOVED to hear what her and lee hazelwood could have came up with. they would have been doing crazy, nick cave sweet country songs. anyway, thanks for the article.RepliesI loved her work, too. She and Kate Bush have so much in common. Writing and performing at a young age, but music that, as you say, is somewhat bizarre.
My favorite song of hers is I Saw An Angel Die. I can see now, looking back, how it would have been a flop on the AM stations. The pauses and surges of music in the song made it one that needed to be listened to, not danced to.
Thank you Bob Stanley for providing this very interesting blog.
Obviously a very intelligent lady as well as a talented one. What better way to retire when you're on the top of your game? You create the mystery and leave your fans wanting more.
Too many performers continue well past their prime. They tarnish the highlight of their careers by trying to recapture the "old days".
Good for her !Is this a fairly recent picture of her?
led me to
The pic is still there also at the link above and I think it could be her as the lines and nose etc. look close. Nice if it's her. I guess 48 years ago (She was around 11 years older than me) I still remember listening to some of these titles. I sure liked this blog which showed up on my facebook. Sure would be nice to hear an interview with her now. She was a smart person.
MichaelThe Un. of Mississippi has original creative rough drafts of Ode to Billie Joe posted on their web site. Bobbie donated her drafts to them in the middle 70's. They do show some of the missing verses edited out of the original sessions and it seems Bobbie had always intended the mystery. Rich Hall stated on on a recent bbc radio documentary that 'Fancy' had to be edited way down too. There were even incest references in the original version! 'Fancy' felt like a big hit because ,like O.T.B.J, it charted everywhere. Country, r&b, adult contemporary . It was also #1 country,#26 pop in Canada. Great article Bob! and a good read! An interesting note about Bobbie's composition 'Mornin' Glory'. It was recorded my master jazz pianist ,Bill Evans, in the late 70's and is the opening track on his important 'Live In Toyko' album.
ReplyDeleteI believe the main reason Bobbie never became a hit machine was her scattergun market. Her musical vision defied musical catagories and generes. Was she country? pop? blues?. There was no Americana label in her era. She was too pop for country and too country for pop. It says something of her inner drive and ambition that a decade after her massive debut that she was still raking in seven figures per year. Creativity, brains and beauty are a striking combination in any era, and this trailblazer has inspired Lucinda Willams, Roseanne Cash, Shelby Lynn,Beth Ortin and Sheryl Crow to name a few.
ReplyDeleteIn doing reseach on Bobbies' classic 'Ode To Billie Joe(grammy hall of fame winner in 1999) I was startled about how many covers the song has. It has been covered over 200 times by the likes of such legends as Tammy Wynette, Chet Atkins, Count Basie, Jackie Wilson and has amassed near 50 million in record sales. I believe the record for a solo female songwriter is Joni Mitchell's, 'Both Sides Now' with 550 covers. The yearly royality rate for O.T.B.J is still close to six figures. Bobbie has made seven figures off Reba's cover of Fancy alone ( the song has been covered a dozen times)Appearing on Reba's biggest selling album, Greatest Hits vol 2, (with close to 9 million in album sales), and performed by Reba in hundreds of concerts, royalities from this classic still bring in substantial assets on a yearly basis. It can be argued that Bobbie has written two of the top 100 country songs of all time, yet she is still strangely abscent from any major Songwriters hof and has never even been nominated.
ReplyDeleteA recent article in the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal of Tupelo, MS:
http://djournal.com/view/full_story/22780121/article-Bobbie-Gentry--Chickasaw-County-singer%E2%80%99s-song-remains-a-mystery-46-years-later?instance=popularBobbie Gentry has left a lasting impression on many and is, to me, to be considered the pioneer of a woman who owned her dreams and lived them thorough. God bless her and may her legacy live on for generations to come. Thank you for this wonderful piece and I certainly hope there is one more left in her. A true superstar entertainer.
ReplyDelete"Was she country? pop? blues? She was too pop for country and too country for pop."
Apart from on the Glen Campbell album which I think is her worst record, the only "country" ingredient in Gentry's music I hear is her accent. Okay, it has a touch of country flavour occasionally but I think there's far more folk, soul, blues, classical and Broadway going on.It was my great pleasure to be hired to play drums for Bobbie back in 1977 and 1978. I played in her stage shows in the main rooms of the Frontier Hotel and the Aladdin Hotel with the house orchestras. She was a consummate professional with all her show personnel, from rehearsals through to the last nights on stage! Thank you, Bobbie!

Commercial Real estate website Delhi /NCR - Think4buysale.inActually, she was a has-been by 1974. However, she did make the big money when she could and managed it properly. Perhaps the most successful one-hit wonder of all time.
Only two of her solo recordings charted in the Top 40, and only one of her albums achieved this. Actually, little of her money was made in record sales or royalties, as most of her records were losers, and, she made most of her Las Vegas money in her first three years there. She has done fairly well financially as a songwriter, having had one cover generate solid income.
She made money with her investments in the Phoenix Suns and California RE.
However, she was pretty much forgotten as a performer by the public within a decade of her debut. When she retired, she was one of the few people who noticed it.
Word has it that's she a pretty disturbed individual, so, I guess that's the price you pay. It seems odd to me that someone who had such little impact on music in general and did not have a huge fan base, obsessively clings to reclusiveness 40 years after her heyday.RepliesExcuse me, buddy, bow how does someone without the stones to put their own name on a blog post criticize a performer for staying under the radar? She should go pubic again for what, so she can be your punching bag? So she can play the PBS oldies shows? And where's your proof she's "disturbed?" Listen to "Ode" again and hear what it's really about: the indifference of people to the suffering of a person they don't know. She was a smart, skilled performer who walked when the getting was good to live a life away from the public and the music biz. I'd do the same thing. Who the hell would want to be part of the disgusting circus that the media generates and the cruelty of "fans" who like you?
DeleteAnd, she was the highest grossing act Vegas had ever seen in her time. She walked away with record breaking contracts. You have no idea about her career.
Love the story on her! She's such an enigma, especially now that everyone is so public about everything.
One thing... Chickasaw County is at least an hour's drive from the Mississippi Delta. It's not on the fringes of it. Gentry's Delta experiences happened in Greenwood, where Choctaw Ridge and the Tallahatchie Bridge are.

Jegs 350t trans..... No good!!!!!!
Hey everyone
I just wanted to tell you guys i went to Jegs over the weekend and spent over $1100 bucks,, I bought A Jegs brand 350t trans and also with that i got a new trans cooler with a fan and all the nice AN fittings w/ braided hose just because i wanted to do everything right u know... Ok for the price of a Jegs brand trans i really shouldn't be upset, it is only $629+tax But here is the thing there trans are supposed to shift hard and firm for any car with around 400-450hp NOT!!!!! I just got done putting that thing in my car and i dont think it is going to be worth a crap!!! The trans i took out of there had at-least 100,000 miles on it and i think it shifts harder than the new Jegs 350t?? I just wanted a harder shift so i called jegs and was talking to a few of the guys that worked there and they said there trans was really built by B&M but was $200 cheaper and shifted just as hard, so i figured it was a good deal since shops wanted $500 just to rebuild mine u know...... well i guess the guys at jegs lied lol Has anyone else bought a jegs trans and had any good or bad luck???????

[QUOTE=DHMag]what type of fluid did you use in it ? B&M recommends B&M Trick Shift or Type F for any trans with a B&M shift kit in it.
dittos! Trick Shift is happening |
Calibrating shifts is not done with fluid... Why use an inferior fluid? Use Dexron and install a valve body kit. |
I did use the b&m trans fluid, IM going to give it a few days and at least 20 miles and if it don't get better i guess ill take it out u know....will see what happens...
Sometimes it takes a while for a trans. to really "break-in". Take it easy for a while and put some miles on it, then start giving it some W.O.T. runs and see how hard and firm the shifts are. I have heard lots of good feedback from customers of B&M transmissions, so they do know their stuff most of the time, I suppose you could pick up a bad apple from them though once in awhile. It has happened many a times before and I am sure it will happen again!

Tells us about the converter.
My understanding from books on rebuilding TH350's and from people that rebuilt these was that Type F has a different friction modifier and will make the shifts harsher as it doesn't slip as much. Definately not the same as messing with the valve body, but it will create a difference. |
My car has a 3 month old B&M 3500 stall in it that is working great.. |
Was it the converter in the 100K unit you took out? If not, what did the 100K unit have for a converter?
Type F will make a slightly firmer shift, it has NO friction modifiers according to my literature. It has a significantly lower heat resistance than Dexron. IMO not worth messing with, it is also getting harder to find. I would buy a valve body kit and install that and be done with it. |
my old converter was the old style vega converter, it stalled around 2300 to 2600 rpm....i bought a new stall for the jegs trans,,,, |
Try to change the shift by adjusting the mod. screw.it will shift harder .
I would call Jegs and/or B&M and ask them if the trans you bought has their shift kit installed in it. If yes, then you may have a bad unit. If no, I would ask "why not"?
I have a Turbo 350 in my car - a very old one with over 100,000 miles on it and a stock torque converter with over 100,000 miles on it. the trans shifted very softly when I got it. After installing one of the B&M shift improver kits in there, it now shifts very quickly, and firm. It even screeches the tires when shifting from 1st to 2nd. I am running the type "F" fluid, not the B&M trick shift fluid. It took approximately a total of 3-4 hours to complete the (very messy) job and about $50 for the kit. Well worth it. Like I said, ask Jegs and B&M if the trans you bought has the shift improved kit installed in there. |
Hey guys,,,I just got done adjusting the mod and it seems to of help it a little but to be honest for a $700 trans i would think it would shift little harder then what it is doing.... its not slipping or nothing but just not hard at all,,, of course having a big stall will make a trans feel like its not shifting really hard but firm u know... I have only had 1 trans that chirped the tires when having a big stall in it, but all of the trans i have had w/shift kits and big stall's shifted hard enough to feel/jerk you a little bit BUT this jegs trans just shifts firm, really cant feel it shift? like i said before ill give it a week and if its not going to get better ill take it back ,,,,,, And yes it does have a B&M kit in it
