The Peak and Decline of Swing
The swing movement has seen several peaks through history. It was first introduced in the late 20s as another form of jazz. While jazz has a very distinctive style, swing incorporated more brass and heavy rhythm sections, usually manned by larger numbers of band members than traditional jazz. Artists such as Benny Goodman and Count Basie dominated the scene and brought swing music to the masses by the mid 40s.
By 1935 swing had become a worldwide phenomenon. Popular musicians were popping up in parts of Europe. British and American swing had dominated the charts, but German swing was also making a name. Unfortunately, the war aided in the decline of the music. Nazi officials created a campaign trying to squash the appeal of western music, going as far to create their own propaganda albums that degraded leaders of the western world and dropping them in by parachute.
In the late 40s pop music began to gain popularity and swingers had to move to a new form of music to keep enjoying the clubs. It was expensive to employ large bands to create the big band sound, and pop music required fewer players. A recording ban from 42-48 also hurt the industry.
Even though swing music did start to decline, crooners started to make a way in to the scene. Musicians like Frank Sinatra kept some swing elements in their style as they rose to fame.
The 90s brought on a rise in the genre. Music from 40 years before started to make a comeback as artists started to incorporate the older styles in their new music. Groups like the Squirrel Nut Zippers and Cherry Poppin Daddies brought a new light to the old genre. By the end of the decade swing music once again dominated the charts, and swing clubs started to pop up all over the country.
Swing Origins – How the Magic Started
The style of jazz popular after the turn of the century had a sophisticated feel to it. It was popular in night clubs and bars all over the US after beginning in New Orleans. In the mid to late 20s many artists started to experiment with different sounds, adding more brass instruments and faster beats. This new style required more people playing to pull off, and the name 'big band swing' was born. From here its popularity skyrocketed, making way for many notable artists to make history.
Notable Groups
Benny Goodman has always been associated with the early swing movement. Sing Sing Sing composed and performed by Benny Goodman is still widely acclaimed and played in clubs and movies everywhere. But he wasn't the only noteworthy artist. Art Tatum, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, and many others made huge names for their selves, and still remain popular today.
Cross Genre
Once swing music gained world wide popularity other artists wanted to incorporate this style in to their music. This led to the advent of Western swing- a style of country that used swing as its base. Western swing tends to focus more on vocals and fiddles, but also keeps with the same basic concept as jazz swing. Rockabilly became popular as a way to mix the new rock and roll style with swing. Elvis was one famous example of this. Gypsy swing features a dominate swing style minus the heavy brass and percussion. Guitars and bass created the backbone for gypsy swing. Even today swing music still has influences on modern artists.
Swing Musicians Through the Ages
In the beginning of the swinger music movement many unknown musicians were given an opportunity to make it pretty big. As the movement grew, the different types of swing music grew and expanded as well. Today swing still remains popular, and many artists still regularly release albums.
Early Musicians
When swing music started to hit its peak in the 30s and 40s, many musicians and groups gained worldwide notoriety. Art Tatum, Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glen Miller, and Ella Fitzgerald all enjoyed success in this genre. The list of noteworthy artists from this era is exhaustive, but a quick trip to a local music store or a browse through your favorite mp3 download program will yield hundreds of artists that still enjoy popularity.
Western Swing
Shortly after the rise of big band swing, the country music industry started to capitalize on this trend. Western swing features the same styling but with a stronger focus on harmonizing vocals and fiddles. Many western swing groups still used brass instruments, but it wasn't in the forefront of the music. Groups such as the Texas Playboys, Milton Brown, and Spade Cooley all enjoyed success.
Modern Swing
Media attention brought about a swing revival. Groups such as the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Brian Setzer, and Cherry Poppin Daddies helped to move swing in to the new century. By the late 90s a revival of swing music led way to new speak easy type bars and dance clubs that featured swing music nights. Even modern artists like Christina Aguilera incorporated swing successfully in to their style.
Swing! The Musicals
With the resurgence of the swing scene in the 90s, it was only a matter of time before someone created a musical based on that. Paul Kelly came up with the idea of Swing! and watched it come to life in 1999.
The Show
Swing! takes classic music from the swing era from famous artists such as Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, and forms a story around the music. Unlike other musicals, Swing! features no dialogue. The story is told through high energy dance and the music alone. While many people feared the show would fail, it ended up winning nominations for Tony Awards and other accolades from the musical community. It was nominated for Best Musical, Best Choreography, Best Orchestration, as well as many others.
Swing! was premiered in December 1999 and ran through January 2001 on Broadway. Even after the show officially closes, many touring productions were able to capitalize on the success by taking the show on the road. It can still be found on the touring circuit if you visit the website devoted to the show. During the touring phase it could be found throughout the US as well as the UK.
Soundtrack and DVDs
If you aren't able to catch this show live, you can find the soundtrack to the show online or in many music retailers. The soundtrack features 40 tracks from some of the most influential swing artists of the original era. You can also find DVDs from the original Broadway production. This way you can bring the fun and excitement of the show to your living room.
Brief History of Swing Music
Swing music is a form of jazz that became popular in the early 30s. It features strong rhythms and brass instruments such as trombones and saxophones. The tempo is typically a faster pace, and doesn't always have lyrics associated. Swing has been popular since its introduction, and has experienced several revivals over the decades.
Worldwide Acclaim
By 1935 swing music was huge in the United States. By the 40s it was popular in England and Germany. Unfortunately, World War II introduced a decline in the popularity for several reasons. Many of the big band artists were called to fight overseas, the large orchestras known with swing were difficult to finance during the depression, and recording bans due to musician strikes helped to keep the music from hitting the streets.
By the beginning of 1949 the ban had ended and swing styles evolved in to new styles. Jump blues and bebop both became popular as a result of swing. The style could be seen crossing all genres of music, including country and rock by the early 50s.
New Age Swing
In the late 90s another resurgence of popularity occurred. Groups like Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Cherry Poppin Daddies brought swing back to a new generation. Using lyrics that the youth could relate to, and the classic orchestra style swing, it was popping up on the radio and in dance clubs all over the world.
It hasn't faded in to the background quite yet. Many newer musicians still incorporate swing elements in to their albums, and swing music clubs can still be found across the nation.
The Birth of Swing
In the early 1900s jazz music began to make its way on the music scene. First being popular only in African American communities, it didn't take long for everyone to take notice. Before the 20s came rolling in, jazz music could be heard in virtually every club in the states, and was making its way to other countries.
In the late 20s musicians were starting to add more players with the addition of large brass and woodwind ensembles. The beats were changed and more syncopation added. This new form of music was edgier, and easier to dance to. The name 'big band' was coined, and because the music made you 'swing', the name was born.
Thanks to swing music, many forms of dance also evolved. The Lindy Hop was made popular in the early days of swing, and remains popular today. The Jitterbug became hugely popular, and even today dance competitions centered around this style can be found. Shagging was another form that had a more sexual feel to it, and still remains a favorite in many clubs.
The dance styles of swing feature high energy moves combined with elements of tap.
Swing music gave birth to many sub-genres, and some still coming in to the spotlight today. As rock and roll started to become popular, many artists combined the harder sounds with the energy of swing, creating the birth of rockabilly. Country music started to incorporate swing without the brass and woodwind, but with a stronger focus on the fiddle and country lyrics. This is still well liked in the country scene and is referred to as Western swing.
Swing Revival
The swing music scene was huge in the 30s and 40s, but maintained popularity through today. In the early 90s it hit the scene again in a big way.
A New Generation
In the early 90s the new swing movement (often called the neo-swing movement) was largely underground. Media attention grew, and retro swing started being used in more movies. The soundtrack to the 1993 movie The Mask featured several neo-swing artists, such as Brian Setzer and the Royal Crown Revue. Later in 1993 the movie Swing Kids gained critical acclaim, and brought swing music back in to households all over the world. By the end of the 90s swing music could be found in Gap commercials.
Mainstream Appeal
Later in the 90s ska bands started to introduce the new swing movement to the public. Groups such as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones mixed old school swing with new punk and ska, and the combination worked. By the late 90s swing music was making its way on the air and hitting the charts again. Some of the top charting groups included The Cherry Poppin Daddies, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Older swing music from the 30s and 40s also enjoyed sudden increases in sales.
Swing music still remains popular, although the popularity has decreased slightly. Those who enjoy the music can still find clubs throughout the US and the UK that dedicate certain nights to swing music. Modern jive is huge in the UK, and vacations can actually be planned around swing events.
London Swing Scene
London swing has been popular since the 40s, but has more recently enjoyed success again.
Introduction in Europe
While swing music originated in the United States in the late 20s, Europe wasn't far behind. This style of music quickly spread across the pond, and many artists created their own styles of swing. By the late 40s and early 50s swing music could be found globally.
London's Influence
London has long been a hot spot for up and coming artists. While probably more known for rock, swing enjoyed a large influence as well. Rockabilly has been said to have started in London. While no one knows this for sure, it's not a far out assumption.
Modern Swingers
Today swing music remains popular in all parts of the world. In London, a new form of swing that mixes hip hop and house music with a swing backbone has become all the rage with London Swingers. This new form of swing is referred to as electroswing. Heavy dance clubs have long been popular in London, and the Electro Swing clubs of today are no exception to this. Some notable artists include Mr. Scruff, Parov Stelar, and F.M. Einheit. Many of the popular songs take old school swing, such as Duke Ellington, and mixed it with more modern electropop. This new style is gaining popularity and slowly moving to other parts of the world, including the United States.
Swing History- From 1920 -Today
The turn of the century was instrumental in music. In the southern region of the United States, the African American community brought about a form of music that combined blues with syncopation, and jazz was born.
Jazz began popping up in underground clubs, and spread through the communities like wildfire. It spurred several sub-genres of music, including Ragtime, Dixieland Jazz, and the ever popular Swing Jazz.
Swing jazz was different than the traditional jazz sounds of the early years. By the mid 30s musicians were adding heavy rhythm sections along with brass and woodwind instruments. The result was a large band that belted out music that was smooth and easily danced to. The arrangements for swing tended to be edgier than its predecessor.
Swing music became huge in the night club scene. Its popularity spread throughout the United States, and started crossing the pond in to parts of Europe. Even German artists were starting to make it big in the swing scene by the end of the 30s.
The popularity of the genre couldn't be squashed, even with declines seen in the aftermath of the war and the depression. While sales declined, the genre led the way for many newer forms of swing music. The rockabilly movement, gypsy swing, western swing, and more modern forms of ska-swing took its place.
Today swing music remains a commodity. Many newer bands use swing as the base for other forms of music. Acid jazz is a form of swing that is popular in the club scene today. It combines more modern hip hop and funk in with a swing backbone.
The New York Swing Scene
The New York swing scene has been a large part of pop culture dating back to the 30s. When swing first made its way on the scene in New Orleans in the 20s, it wasn't long before the style was adopted in New York. During the prohibition era, swing was huge in New York and many swinger clubs were used as a front for alcohol consumption. Beyond that it remained large, and became a part of the culture that has remained strong through today.
Acid Jazz
Arguably, one of the more notable incarnations of swing in New York was the Acid Jazz movement. This genre of music took a strong swing backbone and incorporated hip hop and funk in to the mix. The result was a more garage feel in music. While acid jazz originated in the UK, it became hugely popular in the New York scene with many New York Swingers. By the 90s, it was hard not to find a club that didn't feature this type of music.
Swing and Broadway
One of the most famous aspects of New York is the musical theater scene. Swing didn't escape this avenue. Shows such as Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk used strong swing elements to captivate audiences. The show combined elements of tap, jazz, and swing to create a continuous rhythm that the dancers used to create a story. Swing! the musical also ran a decent stint on Broadway in the 90s. Elements of swing can still be found in today's musicals thanks to the influence of musical theater on the New York and worldwide culture.

BAL HARBOUR, Fla. (AP) – In this upscale seaside village of about 2,500 permanent residents, the main challenges for Bal Harbour's 30-member police force are thefts from its high-end shopping mall, speeders along Florida's famed A1A highway and vehicle break-ins. But the department managed to rake in millions of dollars in forfeited drug proceeds by leading a task force that conducted investigations across the country, many with little or no link to the South Florida town.
In fact, in 2011, Bal Harbour got more than $5 million through its money-laundering investigations from a U.S. Justice Department asset forfeiture sharing program, more than any Florida law enforcement agency that year. The Tri-County Task Force's agents worked out of a trailer in Bal Harbour and included deputies from a nearby county and a contract employee who worked at a federal immigration officer in California.
The money went for salaries, travel and confidential informant payments _ some of which have been questioned as improper by Justice Department investigators _ as well as a $100,000 police boat and a $225,000 surveillance truck.
While perhaps an extreme example, Bal Harbour's task force highlights the way many law enforcement agencies are using the expanding federal program along with permissive state forfeiture laws to seize cash, property and assets in criminal cases that sometimes didn't even happen in their jurisdictions. Under the federal program, state and local police agencies are rewarded for participating with federal authorities in joint investigations. The locals' contributions can range from providing leads to essentially running the investigation from start to finish.
Often, it's only a suspected link to crime that leads to a civil seizure, which can force people to prove they are innocent to get their cash or property back.
To many legal experts, that's a perversion of a U.S. justice system in which a person is supposed to be presumed innocent, tempting police to focus on cash instead of crime and diverting resources from more urgent safety threats.
"This is a country where we have a Bill of Rights to protect the people from the government," said Tamara Lave, a former public defender who is now a law professor at the University of Miami. "This is a way of giving the government greater power and it's an institutional way of undermining people's rights."
Prosecutors value forfeiture because it can hit criminals where it hurts _ in the wallet _ and deprives them of the fruits of crime.
"If there was no forfeiture, then it is conceivable that a defendant could serve their time and when he or she gets out, still have access to the funds the criminal enterprise produced," said David S. Weinstein, a former South Florida federal prosecutor now in private practice. "Punishment is about more than putting people in jail."
But, Weinstein added: "The more jaded viewpoint is that it is an easy way for an agency to get cash and property."
The biggest asset forfeiture program is the Justice Department's Equitable Sharing, which Bal Harbour's drug task force used. It has grown from $297.5 million in payouts in 2006 to almost $454 million in 2012, according to Justice Department records.
Separately, untold millions more are seized and kept by law enforcement agencies under state forfeiture laws.
Over the same period the federal payouts have increased, according to the FBI, overall rates of crime have been dropping, although police reported a slight uptick in 2012.
In Bal Harbour, there were 56 total arrests in 2010 and 53 in 2011, according to the Justice Department. Over the two years, 18 involved drug violations.
Drug cartels, money launderers, Mafia organizations and fraud rings are among those in criminal cases whose assets are seized and deposited into this program. Yet sometimes prosecutors use civil forfeiture laws _ which have a lower standard of proof than criminal cases _ to seize property that may be only loosely connected to potential criminal actions.
In Bal Harbour's case, tipsters were used to set up drug money-laundering pickups by undercover officers in at least 13 locations around the U.S. After the money changed hands, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration would arrest the suspects, and Bal Harbour would apply for its cut of the forfeited cash.
Another different kind of example involves the Motel Caswell on Main Street in Tewksbury, Mass. The family-owned business, operated by 69-year-old Russell Caswell, was targeted for seizure by federal prosecutors who contended it was being used to "facilitate" ongoing illegal drug activity. Caswell denied it and was never charged with a crime, but faced losing a business that his father had built in 1955.
A federal judge ruled in January that there was no proof Caswell tolerated drug activity, much less encouraged it. In fact, U.S. Magistrate Judge Judith Gail Dein said in a 59-page decision that Caswell allowed police free reign over the property and he had no responsibility to tackle the drug problem by himself.
"Courts do not expect the common land owner to eradicate a problem which our able law enforcement organizations cannot control," Dein wrote.
One of Caswell's attorneys, Larry Salzman of the Arlington, Va.-based Institute for Justice public interest law firm, said the case illustrates how forfeiture laws have influenced police.
"It's quick cash for the local agency," Salzman said. "There are places that have these task forces that exist simply to seize money."
According to the institute, law enforcement agencies are allowed to keep 100 percent of seized assets in 26 states, with another 16 states allowing them to keep half. Most states require property owners to establish their innocence, with only six _ California, Florida, Colorado, Kansas, Michigan and Oregon _ requiring the government to prove guilt.
The federal government must prove a person's connection to crime, but using the lower civil "preponderance of the evidence" standard _ in other words, a little more likely than not _ rather than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard required in criminal cases. Georgia legislation to raise the legal standard and make other reforms failed to pass after fierce resistance from police agencies.
Along Interstate 40 in Tennessee between Nashville and Memphis, task forces were created to catch drug dealers and seize cash using the state's forfeiture laws. Investigators noticed that if they stopped westbound cars they'd be more likely to find drug money, while the eastbound cars were more likely to contain drugs.
It became clear which side was lucrative for investigators, said Tennessee state Rep. Barrett Rich, a former state trooper sponsored a bill this year to give people more rights in forfeiture proceedings.
"It seems the focus in Tennessee has gone from getting the drugs off the street and instead placing an emphasis on the money," said Rich, a Republican.
The problem in Tennessee, Rich said, is that innocent people who had large amounts of cash seized were forced to await the outcome of a forfeiture hearing if they wanted it back. The judge and law enforcement officials meet in private to decide what to do.
According to the Beacon Center of Tennessee, a public policy research group, questionable stops included a Georgia lottery winner who had $20,000 in cash seized and a man helping his mother move with her life savings, from whom $27,500 was taken. It's unclear from the report whether they got their money back.
Back in Bal Harbour, former police chief Thomas Hunker was fired following a Justice Department probe into its drug task force, which has been disbanded in the wake of the controversy. Among the investigation's findings were that more than $263,000 was improperly paid out of forfeiture funds for salaries and an American Express for travel expenses.
The village has been forced to repay $1.2 million to the Justice Department, said interim city manager Jay Smith, and could be on the hook for millions more.
Hunker's attorney, Richard Sharpstein, said the Justice Department probe made numerous false accusations _ Justice officials refused comment on the investigation _ and that the task force was responsible for more than 200 arrests.
"Chief Hunker served and protected the citizens of this community steadfastly for a decade," Sharpstein said.

A child's death: Retrial begins Tuesday
TROY -- Opening arguments in the retrial of Adrian Thomas, the man accused of killing his 4-month-old son Matthew six years ago, could begin as soon as Wednesday.
A total of 12 jurors were seated Tuesday. Four alternates were to be selected beginning Wednesday morning. Depending on timing, opening arguments would begin Wednesday or Thursday.
Thomas, 32, was convicted in 2009 of second-degree murder after jurors decided he threw Matthew on a bed on three separate days in September 2008, causing severe head injuries that led to brain swelling and death.
The defense in the first trial insisted the baby died of sepsis, a blood infection brought on by a bout of pneumonia.
A midlevel appellate court upheld Thomas' conviction but the state Court of Appeals ordered a new trial. The justices cited heavy-handed tactics used by investigators, who interrogated Thomas for almost nine hours.
Jurors will not see a police video of the interrogation, which was shown at the first trial.
Earlier this month, Rensselaer County Judge Andrew Ceresia granted a request by defense attorneys Stephen Coffey and Arthur Frost to exclude the press from the courtroom for a pretrial hearing in the case.
Ceresia ruled that reporting of the medical testimony from Rensselaer County Child Protective Services officials that was to be heard would "substantially prejudice" the defense in the eyes of the potential jury pool.
The judge sealed all pretrial evidence from the public.
Assistant District Attorney Kelly Egan argued for the court to remain open, saying the potential jury pool was not small.
Pretrial motions filed in the first trial showed child abuse investigators twice probed allegations of abuse at the family's home in the Cedar Park Apartments on 21st Street. In one instance, there was a report that a child was "severely disciplined." Officials said no children were removed from the home after either incident.
A medical mix-up early on in the case caused Jerome Frost, the since-retired public defender and Arthur Frost's father, to call unsuccessfully for all charges to be dropped.
The defense had asked Albany Medical Center Hospital for Matthew's records, but were given paperwork for his identical twin brother, Malachai. Frost argued that prosecutors had a problem with their case if they could not determine which child died.
According to the hospital, the baby's mother as well as its pediatric clinicians sometimes mixed up the twins.
Matthew remained the victim's name and the hospital successfully sought to have the judge seal its records.
Thomas remains in the Rensselaer County Jail.

Let's predict -- Just for fun. Pollster predicts 234 seats for the Dems, which would be a pick-up of 32 seats. Charlie Cook predicts 20-35 seats for the Dems. Over at Hotline they see a consensus of 25 seats. Stu Rothenberg sees 30-36 seats going blue.
After 2004, I am incapable of this sort of rational exuberance. The numbers do look that good, but I am going to take the "under" and predict that the Speaker Pelosi will take the gavel with a 5 seat majority -- total pick-up of 20.
Why? Dunno. Cynicism, the proven GOP GOTV game, expecting some republicans to get in the booth and find they just can't pull that "D" lever. Also, I'm a Cubs fan at heart. I expect, on a fundamental, genetic level, for my team to blow it in the ninth. And the GOP has been the Yankees of politics for the last decade or two.
For completeness, I will predict four seats in the Senate. Pennslyvania, Rhode Island, Ohio, and Missouri. Maybe Virginia, also. I think Montana and Tennessee will slip away from us. We'd need six of the seven to take control (and all seven to build a Lieberman-proof majority).
I will predict that Lieberman will win a squeaker, caucus with the GOP, and be indicted in 2007.
I do see one historic possibility -- I think this will be the first election in forever in which one party (the Democrats, in this case) does not lose a single seat it currently holds.
Game on.

No way the dems don't lose a seat. MD could easily give one Senate saet back to the Reps. I am predicting 22 seats in the House and 5 in the Senate, and then we'll *always* know where Cheney is.ReplyDelete
I can't imagine that the House gets a super majority and can then be veto-proof. That would rock though, since we'd get stem cell research back in play.
I love election day.
To clarify, I think it's 5 net gain for Dems in the Senate, meaning they gain six and lose one, or gain seven and lose two.ReplyDelete
Dems will gain control of the House. It's a flip of the coin if the Dems will take the Senate. It depends on how well the Republicans rig the vote.ReplyDelete

The Cubs have won !!!!!ReplyDelete
Maybe not the World Series, but certainly against the Yankees tonight.
I also did not want to get my hopes up, but I am feeling much more hopeful now. Looks like we got Montana, but VA and MO will keep us on edge for a little while longer.
By the way, it's 2006, and about time a woman got to be speaker of the house.
Careful there, kea . . . let a woman be speaker and next thing they'll want to be doctors, too.ReplyDelete

Allow another taxi service
To the Editor:
I read with complete agreement Keith Spadaro's quote in the story "Village Car Service? Not in the village," (Jan. 17-23) that our current car taxi service "always kind of worked." I assume by that he meant "and kind of doesn't." Clearly Mr. Spadaro, too, has had to wait 45 minutes for a taxi to take him to the train station, and longer still to be picked up at the airport, only to be seated in a car that has the springs coming through the seat.
I frankly do not see a downside to allowing another company, and thus competition, into our village, which can only improve the current system. We have more than one restaurant, doctor's office and gas station, and I for one am glad for it.

Hoping for Suozzi's return
To the Editor:
The upcoming election for Nassau County executive is extremely important for the future of Nassau County. The election is especially crucial for young residents who hope to stay and raise their families here.
Under Ed Mangano's control, Nassau County has reached an all-time low.
Mangano's mismanagement over the past three years has resulted in disastrous outcomes for our residents.
Since Mangano was elected, a state control board has taken over the county's finances. Moreover, Nassau's taxes have risen while the county's credit and bond rating have plummeted. Mangano's long list of failures includes the closure of half of the county's police precincts and the loss of Nassau's only professional sports team, the Islanders.
Young residents see no hope for the future of Nassau County and have decided to move elsewhere to enjoy a higher quality of life.
In light of all this, I hope that former County Executive Tom Suozzi, someone who cares about our future and who has a strong vision for a better Nassau, will reconsider his options and decide to run for county executive. We need him now more than ever.

"Don't Eat Another Bite Of Food Until You Learn To Avoid These Weight Loss Mistakes!"
"Why Most People Eat All The Wrong Foods and Never Lose Weight"
Weight Loss Mistake #1:
You diet!
Just about everyone has attempted to diet at one point or another and it rarely works. It is boring, lacks variety and requires you to give up your favorite foods for weeks if not month after mind numbing month.
Weight Loss Mistake #2:
You restrict calories!
Meaning you don't eat enough food.
When trying to lose weight you look at it as what you can't have and you don't think about what you can have. Forget about trying to eat your favorite foods when trying to lose weight.
That would be devastation!
Now that you are afraid of the inevitable guess what happens?
You cheat!
You then feel terrible, you feel guilty, you feel like you failed.
Weight Loss Mistake #3:
You don't have a plan!
You wake up each morning not knowing what you are going to eat for the day and when you are going to eat it.
The result is subconscious snacking, fast food pit stops, junk food saviors, and nutrient deficient meals.
Once these mistake are made
Ok, you realize you make these mistakes so what happens next?
Well, the results or better yet lack of results are not substantial enough to warrant this sacrifice.
Why are you even doing this if the reward isn't satisfying enough?
The result: You quit and go back to all your old habits and the weight is still there.
Now what if you could change all these mistakes by following 3 simple principles?
3 Principles of Rapid Fat Loss
Principle #1 – You must have some type of plan. Having a plan that shows you what you are going to be eating for every meal of every day is key to your success. No more opening up the cabinets and finding nothing healthy in there. No more skipping out on meals because all that is available is junk food.
Principle #2 – You must keep your metabolism happy. It was already discussed that dieting can cause problems in more ways than one. It can also do a number on your metabolism by messing with key fat burning hormones such as leptin. Following principle #1 allows you to control those fat burning hormones and manipulate them into burning more fat off your body.
Principle #3 – You must incorporate both proper nutrition and exercise to successfully reach your fat loss goals. When you are serious about wanting to lose fat as fast as possible it is a little more complicated than just eat 'healthy' foods and 'exercise a lot'. There are specific foods that help burn more fat than other foods, the timing of your meals is important for your fat loss and the specific type of exercise is equally important to you achieving your fat loss goals.
So Where Do You Begin?
Let's start with what most people do.
You start looking on the internet for healthy meal plans. You may even go to the local bookstore and buy a few healthy cookbooks.
You are all excited that you have dozens of recipes and then you stop.
You are looking at all these recipes and meal plans and they all look jumbled together.
You remembered seeing something when searching around about eating only so many carbs. There was also something else about eating a certain amount of protein at every meal.
You don't know what to do at this point because yes you have all these healthy recipes and meals, but how do you sort it all out and which ones should you eat less of and what meals should you eat more of.
You end up doing nothing except putting all those cookbooks on a shelf somewhere and forgetting about it.
You are back to square one!
The Alternative Solution
There are options for you that don't include paying $250 for 1 meal plan. You also don't have to figure out how to piece numerous recipes together to create a healthy meal plan.
There will be:
You will have no decisions to make regarding what you are eating and when. You will know what to eat and your meals will be delicious and filling. Everything will be laid out for you and expertly designed by a Registered Dietitian to make sure you meet your fat loss goals.
Here are just some of the benefits of this Alternative Solution:
Your brain will melt with all the knowledge that you will be taught when your nutrition questions get personally answered. No more worrying about what to do or where you will find the answer since you will have unlimited access to a Registered Dietitian.
You might as well have a Registered Dietitian living with you and cooking your meals for you because you will have everything laid out precisely for fat burning. When your clothes come off and your bathing suit goes on your muscles will pop with definition and firmness. Everyone will know you are in superb shape. No more worrying about feeling uncomfortable in that bathing suit.
You will smile when you see others wilt under the pressure to eat junk food because they don't know what to eat at every meal. You get to pick the brain of 12 years of weight loss consulting any time you want so that you always know exactly what to eat and how much of it you are to eat.
You will be in control of your destiny for the rest of your life. Each day delights your taste buds with something different and delicious. Instead of shutting down your weight loss for the next 6 months you will accelerate your fat loss for life.
When you learn how to combine the right foods eaten at the right times you unlock your hormones to burn calories and most importantly burn fat calories. The results will astound you.
I'll let real users tell you about that:
"Hi Jayson — I have to say things are going very well. This is my 17th day on the plan and I have lost 8 lb. and a few in. off the waist. For the most part what I learned was I had to let go of some of my ideas of whats a carb. and whats a protein and put my full trust in you. That seems to be the key for me."
Thank You
Georgianna Avila

"People are searching for information on healthy living and are often overwhelmed by the conflicting information available. Thanks to you Jayson I no longer have that problem.

You've succeeded at continually providing people with a wealth of knowledge that we can apply to our daily lives, as well as, to the education of others. I'm anxious to continue learning from you and can't wait for next month's topic and meal plans.
Thanks again for everything."

"This is like perfect timing. Thank you so much for making this available. I have the basic formula for the high, low , and no carb days and the suggested food list to follow. This gives me a better idea of what regular meals look like following this way of eating.
With this 30 day meal plan I feel that I have the keys to help me finally to get to my ideal body weight. If not there, to the size I was in high school.
Thank You Jayson. For making this possible for me."
Gwen McPherson

"I signed up for the Weight Loss Made Easy monthly food plans. I'm really excited about that. I've figured out that if I have a written plan/program, it's so much easier for me to plan ahead and also stay on task. Plus, I love the fact that not only do things change up with the carb levels every three days, but with new recipes and ideas on how to stay with the program, the tedium factor doesn't set in. Thanks so much for your support and especially for sharing your knowledge!"

Washing sheets with an automatic washing machine is considerably easier than washing them with one that has a wringer, and that is considerably easier than washing them with a scrubboard and a tub. This hand-cranked invention, produced by the Lovell Manufacturing Company in Erie, Pennsylvania, was intended to make "less hard work for mother," by more or less automatically squeezing out the excess water from the rinse tub so that the clothes would dry more quickly on the line.

February 13, 2013 New accounting state internship partnership
Central Penn College forges new partnership with state internship program
Accounting students gain experience at the PA Office of the Budget
In February 2013, two Central Penn College students kicked off a new internship partnership program between Central Penn College and the Pennsylvania Office of the Budget, Comptroller Operations.
Eric Weiser, an accounting and business administration major with a concentration in finance, is currently interning at the Lancaster office and working with a state auditor. Accounting major Jason Brosius is interning at the Selinsgrove office. The Pennsylvania Office of the Budget oversees the commonwealth's accounting, payroll and financial reporting systems. Many state auditors and staff members are slated for retirement, which will leave openings within the office. The Office of the Budget has also established internships with Penn State Harrisburg, Elizabethtown College and Bloomsburg University.
"Our internship program places students with auditors and staff members at Office of the Budget locations throughout the state, and is intended to not only offer Central Penn College students hands-on, real-world experience, but to promote the accounting profession as a career path," says Lisa Acey, assistant to the chief accounting officer, Pennsylvania Office of Budget, Comptroller Operations.
Central Penn is constantly developing or continuing partnerships with local employers. For example, in addition to Central Penn's internship program with the Pennsylvania Office of the Budget, the staff from the budget office are available to guest lecture in class, provide job shadowing and conduct mock interviews for Central Penn students. On Feb. 6, three staff from the budget office came to the Summerdale campus to conduct mock interviews for accounting majors. The interview panel asked questions relating to the core skills required for an entry-level accounting position with comptroller operations. They encouraged the candidates to relate their life experiences and academic accomplishments to these core skills: leadership, analytical ability and communication.

Rappture setup in UBUNTU
An easy way to set up a working rappture development environment is to install it into Ubuntu operating system. The advantage of using this approach is the complete access to local machine software, such as MATLAB or othe software packages that have restrictions through the nanoHUB workspace.
Ease steps: * Install Ubuntu * Install rappture
For more information and specific steps, refer to my resource on setting up rappture on Ubuntu.

"This is the story of a woman who is loved."
Those are the words black British director Amma Asante used to describe her marvelous sophomore feature Belle at the Athena Film Festival this past weekend, and they had a palpable emotional impact when Asante uttered them at the film's post-screening Q&A.
That's because it's still all-too-maddeningly rare to see a gentle romance about the loveliness or adorableness or winsome sweetness of black women. Asante's intention to make exactly that — her version of Jane Austen, based on the life of Dido Elizabeth Belle, an 18th-century half-African, half-British historical noblewoman — feels radical, even though the film is in many ways a comfortably familiar period piece primarily concerned with courtship and marriage.
Last year saw a flurry of high-profile films with (male) black protagonists (12 Years a Slave, Mandela, Fruitvale Station, The Butler, and 42), and the wonderful thing about Asante's carefully constructed film is that it's not a story grounded in black suffering. Living in a pre-abolition Britain, Dido, played with grace and passion by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, is certainly no stranger to racism.
But, as Asante explained, her film tells a story about Dido "teaching people how to love her" — to let themselves be won over by her charms and wit despite their knee-jerk prejudices. Rounded out by critiques of sexism and classism, Belle is a quietly ambitious project that's already put Asante on an ascendant path in Hollywood.
If you missed its NY premiere at Athena, Belle will be released on May 2.
