But was there ever dog that praised his fleas?
I worked at a hot dog place, a bagel place, the Jersey Store and the hottest fashion joint around. I was getting too famous to work there anymore. I was almost showing up as a joke. I made $2,000 on my show the previous night and I'm going to go shopping during my five-hour shift.
Puerto Rico has a stray dog problem. Tens of thousands of homeless canines – hundreds of thousands, by some estimates – live and die on the streets and beaches all over this Caribbean island of almost four million people.
So I consider myself a dog person. Kind of. Had dogs when I was a kid, but my parents would never have dreamed of having them in the house.
I wanted to get a puppy, but then things started getting super, super busy, and I didn't have a chance.
It makes one sad to see the sell-out of President Fox; really, it makes one sad. How sad that the president of a people like the Mexicans lets himself become the puppy dog of the empire.
- I am donating $1,000 right now because my community said I should donate to you all in my last vid. I couldn't agree more! Eldad from the bottom of my heart thank you for all of your hard work and dedication saving these animals! I ♥ Hope For Paws!

*Instantly pulls hand when the cat tries to bite*

My main characters are the most sunny, happy, optimistic, loving creatures on the face of the Earth. I couldn't be happier that's where I start. I can put as many flawed people in the dog's world as I like, but the dog doesn't care. Dog doesn't judge. Dog doesn't dislike. Dog loves. That's not so bad.
King Charles Spaniel Adoption – Samoyed Adoption
I signed a dog collar. Someone gave me their dog – a live dog – and I signed its collar. When they handed me the dog, I didn't know what to do. That was weird.
The dog was created specially for children. He is a god of frolic.
Troy Animal Shelter – Boxer Dogs For Adoption
The relationships I've had with animals are often some of the most profound. That's why you cry when a dog dies in a movie. The connection is so deep and so profound, and it isn't cluttered by humanity.
It is rewarding beyond words to rescue a dog from the shelter and have that dog become part of your family.
Hound Dog Rescue – Moving Wallpaper Hd
And I had to take care of a little dog too named Suzy. It was the promoter's wife's – Judy Lynn's – it was her dog. And one of my duties going on the tour was to take care of it.
Be thou comforted, little dog, Thou too in Resurrection shall have a little golden tail.
Puppy Pawz Rescue – Redbone Coonhound Rescue
I don't want to be treated like I came from another planet or something or was somehow born with some weird birthright or super power. I don't view myself that way. I am a normal guy, picking up the crap from the dog and scraping the BBQ and having a beer and fixing the shed out back.
Science is you! It's your head, it's your dog, it's your iPhone – it's the world. How do you see that as boring? If it's boring, it's because you're learning it from a textbook.

While knowing you are going to be financially compensated for your losses, some people actually feel some remorse or empathy for the other party. In some cases, people believe that the other party is personally responsible to pay the award, which can be thousands or even millions of dollars. This can financially devastate someone, and some people feel bad about that, even though they too have been injured. On this blog, we clarify this issue and examine why this occurs.
Who Really Pays?
There is a one-word response as to why you shouldn't necessarily feel guilty or bad about the result of your trial: insurance. The fact is that most drivers in Texas have insurance—in the year 2012, only 13.3% of all drivers did not. This means that the odds are the person sitting across from you in the courtroom is insured.
However, this fact frequently gets glossed over because of a law that prohibits the plaintiff or their legal counsel from mentioning the other party's liability insurance in front of the jury. Why does this law exist? The simple answer is to prevent jury bias; when they are aware the defendant has a liability policy, they are more likely to award fault and be done with it. As such, the trials are framed as though the costs and consequences will come directly back on the driver.
The fact is that for an insured driver, the insurance is the one who pays the settlement. That's what you get when you purchase a liability policy: financial protection in an accident, up to a certain level. There are other benefits too—insurance companies are often required to help their clients by providing them with legal representation in the event they face any liability lawsuits, paying court costs, and more. Bet you didn't realize all of that is included in your auto insurance policy.
So if you find yourself worrying about the other party's ability to pay for an insurance claim, just remember that they are most likely insured and won't necessarily feel the financial impacts of this suit, other than an increase in their insurance premiums as a result of the accident.
At The Law Office of Farah Law, our El Paso car accident attorneys work hard to protect those who have been injured in a car accident from the financial pitfalls they could be facing. We are experienced in all types of personal injury cases, and are not afraid to stand up to insurance companies who are looking to protect their own self-interest at your expense.
Call Farah Law today at 888.634.0608 and let us review your legal options with you with a free consultation!

Post subject: Planning - Sky Sox Star Wars Day, COS, CO Complete
The Sky Sox contact me regarding Star Wars Day 2013. We are in the planning stage right now. The plan is to continue the storyline from 2012. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. At this time, the invited clubs are MB and MG. I am hoping the Mando Mercs, R2 builders and RMFF will be invited too.
Side note: There were some concerns last year regarding the safety of costumers participating due to past experiences at hockey, roller derby, etc. events. I was not aware of any of these concerns happening. It was a great experience for all. I cannot guarantee this will happen again (just as much as I cannot guarantee the lottery ticket you may have will win the jackpot) but if that was your concern for not attending last year, please rethink your participation.

I cannot be the POC for this event due to being out of town and family obligations from mid-May to mid-June. If anyone would like to be the RL/MB POC for this it would be great.
I hope those who have been active regarding their concerns regarding MB events will step in here.

I don't want to step on any toes down that direction, so I'll take this on if none of our members in the Springs want to handle it.

Since Jon (from the Sky Sox) wants this to be bigger than last year and there are mainly three active MB members in the Springs (Alex, unable due to other obligations; Shana , see her post; and myself, see my post), Tony this event is yours.
I am not quite sure who the MG/PPS POC is. The last email I received from Jon in December was he wants to start on this right away with ideas on a story line, a continuation from last year. We are in the brainstorming stage. As of this post, no ideas have been submitted to him from MB.
Last year Jon granted my request to have a table. We shared our table with the RMFF and MM. The table was nice to have but the backdrop was an issue due to the winds. He supplied the table and chairs.
This was going to be open to the MM, RMFF, DE in addition to the RL and 501st. I mentioned to him about having a R2 in the Springs now (R2 Builders) and the Mercs (MM) were the ones escorting Vader onto the field. At this time it is a RL/501st only event.
You have all the info I have regarding this event. Have fun.
Thank you for doing this, Tony.

I was contacted by Andy Love, MG POC, as well as Tony and I will be keeping up with the notifications for the MB.
At this time I have spoken with R2 Thomas and he is looking to contact Eddy about R2 coming along.
At this time I am also working on getting an Ewok to participate in the opening pitch.
The idea is a TB will be catching three of the four opening pitches. After the third one the Ewok will come over with a baseball bat and "escort" the TB off the field.
From there I am still waiting to get an email from Andy on the storyline for this year.
Please stay tuned and ask whatever questions you may have.
Thank you.

Welcome to New Tunes Tues, where we tell you what newly released songs/albums/music videos etc require your attention immediately. This week, Ciara's and Kim Kardashian's fiances collaborate, plus Ed Sheeran releases what might be his greatest song ever. Listen and then vote below!
WATCH: Beyonce Releases a 90's-Inspired Music Video!
Ed Sheeran, "Sing." New music from Ed Sheeran? It's our lucky day! Ed dropped the debut single, "Sing," off his upcoming second album, "x," which music critics are already comparing to Justin Timberlake's new stuff. Which makes sense, because "Sing" is produced by Pharrell Williams! Take a listen:
Flo Rida ft. StayC Reign, "Freaking Out." This is the first song off of the Neighbors soundtrack, which goes with the upcoming movie of the same name starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. Can't you totally envision this song playing during a frat party scene in the film? Called it!
WATCH: UConn Students Celebrate Winning the 2014 National Championship
Future ft. Kanye West, "I Won." BFFs Ciara and Kim Kardashian finally got their fiances, Future and Kanye West, respectively, to sing a song together! So it makes sense that their collaboration is dedicated to them. The rap song is a twist on the "trophy wife," thing, and PS, it's totally NSFW:
WATCH: Jessie J Reveals That She's No Longer Bisexual
Calvin Harris, "Summer." It's barely even spring, but Calvin Harris has the right idea by releasing a summer anthem when it's just starting to warm up! This song features Calvin on vocals for the first time in a long time, and also includes his signature EDM dance vibes. Take a listen, then be sure to add this song to your summer playlist ASAP:
PHOTOS: Exclusive Behind The Scenes Pics from Cody Simpson's "Surfboard" Video Shoot!
Lexi Noel, "Boys." This 19-year-old YouTube sensation from Atlanta's latest music video is about something we can all relate to: Boys. But it's fun and popppy too! We won't be surprised if like Calvin Harris, you add this track to your summer playlist:
OK! News: Find Out Why Miley Cyrus Suddenly Cancelled a Concert

District Judge Michael Segal, Principal Registry of the Family Division
When a marriage or other relationship breaks down and the parties continue to live under the same roof they often suffer intolerable stress caused by harassment, or even violence. When this becomes too much for them, one of them applies for an ouster order against the other. When there are children, they suffer as much as, or more, than their parents. I assume for the purposes of this article that the parties are married, and that it is the wife who applies for the ouster order.
By s 33 of the Family Law Act 1996 the court has not only power to grant a non-molestation order, but also power to regulate the occupation of the home by making arrangements for the parties to share it if possible and, if this is not possible, by ordering one of them to leave it. Thus the court may order the husband to leave the home immediately, or within a specified time. If it does, his rights of ownership are not affected. These are usually decided in the subsequent ancillary relief proceedings. The court has to carry out a balancing exercise. It has to take into account all the circumstances including:
If the court finds that the husband is likely to cause the wife or any child significant harm, then it has to decide whether the harm caused to him by having to leave will be greater than the harm caused to her or the child by his remaining.
In practice, the wife usually applies to the court ex parte for non-molestation and ouster orders. In the Principal Registry of the Family Division (PRFD) she applies to the district judge for the day and her application is supported by an affidavit setting out her allegations against the husband and the reasons why he should leave. It is very rare indeed for her affidavit to justify an ex parte ouster order. If the district judge for the day considers that her affidavit makes out a prima facie case for protecting her or the children, he will make a non-molestation order and, where appropriate, an order giving her exclusive use of part of the home. He will fix the earliest possible return date and order the husband to file an affidavit in reply. In the PRFD the return date for a half hour hearing will be about 4 to 6 weeks after the ex parte application but the husband is told that he may apply on 48 hours' notice to discharge or vary the order.

Gartner MDM Conference
Gartner MDM Conference
I just got back from the Gartner MDM Conference. I learned a lot and had the chance to talk to a lot of people about MDM and what they are doing in their organizations. Maybe it was because of the sample I happened to talk to but it seems like a lot of people are interested in MDM but not a lot of them have projects in place. I assume that's an indication of the state of the MDM industry – while some people have been doing MDM for several years, the mainstream is just now feeling the need to learn about MDM.
One thing I learned that explains some confused conversations I've had with several people is that Gartner is using some of the same terms I have been using to describe MDM but using them to mean very different things. I don't think I disagree with what they're saying but I think some translation between their terms and the terms I have used might help. The main point of confusion is in what Gartner calls the styles of MDM. The way I describe the MDM Hub contents uses different terms but I think in general we're talking about the same things:
Gartner's terms
My terms
Registry Style – store references to master data. Data continues to reside at source system. Data quality controlled at source. Bidirectional data flow (into the hub and from the hub out into the source systems).
Registry Style – pretty much the same concept and obviously the same term
Coexistence Style – Data as well as references to source systems stored in the master data repository. Data quality controlled at both the source and the MDM hub. Bidirectional data flow (into the hub and from the hub out into the source systems).
Hybrid Style – again, pretty much the same definition but with a different label. We agree that there's often a natural progression from the registry style to the hybrid or coexistence style.
Transaction style – Master Data resides solely at the MDM repository. All application use MDM as their source of master data directly.
Repository Style – again, pretty much the same thing with a different name. I think there some disagreement on how practical this style is.
Consolidation Style – MDM repository just a destination for master data. One directional flow into the MDM repository – data never goes back into the source systems. This style used only for analysis.
I've never really talked about this style of MDM repository. Quite a few MDM project start out using MDM primarily for analytical data so I suppose this might make sense but I look at this as a minor variation of the hybrid style so I haven't talked about it as a separate style.
As you can see, I'm pretty much totally in agreement with the Gartner style classification but I have been using different terms. I'm not sure what to do about this. If I change to use the Gartner terms, I may confuse people who have been reading my articles for a while. On the other hand, I think it's pretty obvious why some people have been in violent disagreement with my analytical MDM is really the same as transactional MDM stance. I have been talking about two different uses of MDM data while using the Gartner meaning of the terms, they are two different kinds of MDM repository. I think I am going to change my terms in this case to analytical and operational uses of master data because transactional has two different meanings.

EnWave Reports Consolidated Interim Financial Results for the First Quarter Fiscal Year 2016
Receive up-to-date information about the company directly via push notification
Vancouver, B.C., February 26th, 2016
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) ("EnWave", or the "Company" - https://www.commodity-tv.net/c/mid,1323,Interviews/?v=295748) today reported the Company's consolidated interim financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2015. The Company reported consolidated revenue of $2,604,000 and a consolidated net loss of $483,000 for the first quarter. The material increase in revenues was due to the continued expansion and acceleration of Moon Cheese®, revenue from commercial projects with two pharmaceutical partners and the sale of three smaller scale commercial Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV™") machines for use in the food processing industry.
Significant achievements in the first quarter included:
1) the expansion of Moon Cheese® distribution in the USA and commencement of availability to Canada with the Major Global Coffee Chain;
2) additional USA distribution of Moon Cheese® through major US grocery chains;
3) the extension of the Technology Evaluation and License Option ("TELOA") with Jack Links Protein Snacks;
4) the signing of a TELOA with Nature's Touch Frozen Foods for dehydrofrozen fruit products;
5) the commencement of manufacturing equipment under license with a Pharmaceutical Partner;
6) the signing of a commercial royalty bearing license with Agricola Industrial La Lydia SA of Costa Rica for fruit and cheese production; and
7) the closing of a $5 million "bought deal" private placement equity financing
Over the coming quarters, EnWave will continue to aggressively pursue its commercialization strategy through confirming additional REV™ machine orders, growing royalty streams with established royalty partners and the growth of NutraDried LLP's Moon Cheese® sales. EnWave's mission is to disrupt the global dehydration industry through its licensed REV™ technology business model.
EnWave's annual and interim consolidated financial statements and MD&As are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website www.enwave.net/financials.
About EnWave
EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology. EnWave aims to sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with leading food and pharmaceutical companies for the use of its revolutionary technology. To date, the Company has signed fifteen royalty-bearing commercial licenses with various companies, thereby opening up eight distinct market sectors for commercialization. In addition to these fifteen licenses, EnWave has formed a Limited Liability Partnership, NutraDried LLP, to develop, manufacture, market and sell all-natural cheese snack products within the United States of America under the Moon Cheese® brand.
EnWave is introducing REV™ technology as a new dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors, with benefits including, but not limited to, a faster and cheaper method compared to freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave currently has three commercial REV™ platforms:
1. nutraREV® (food industry applications): designed for quick, low-cost dehydration of fruits, vegetables, herbs, dairy products, meats and seafood, with benefits including improved nutritional content, appearance, flavor and texture relative to conventional methods.
2. quantaREV® (food industry applications): designed for high-volume, low-temperature dehydration of solids, liquids, granular or encapsulated products.
3. powderREV® (pharmaceutical applications): designed as a high-speed, lower-energy, continuous alternative to freeze drying for bulk dehydration of temperature-sensitive biomaterials (bacteria, cell-free extracts, enzymes, probiotics, food cultures, etc.).
In addition, EnWave is currently developing a new commercial REV™ platform:
1. freezeREV® (pharmaceutical applications): a multi-vial prototype technology designed to act as an accelerated freeze dryer to produce room-temperature stable biopharmaceuticals and reagents.

NORTH HAMPTON — The Board of Selectmen met in regular session Tuesday, Feb. 25. Of note on the agenda was the announcement of an additional town meeting at the Fire Department Bay, at 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 5.
NORTH HAMPTON — The Board of Selectmen met in regular session Tuesday, Feb. 25. Of note on the agenda was the announcement of an additional town meeting at the Fire Department Bay, at 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 5.
The meeting is being called to inform residents of the findings of a study of the Fire Department by Municipal Resources Incorporated.
Because public safety needs comprises of a large portion of the town's operating budget (57 percent), suggestions for cuts are often in the area of Fire and Rescue, and the Police Department
Selectman Don Gould said the study was done, "because of differing opinions in town on staffing levels and facilities. We wanted to find out once and for all what is best for North Hampton and the residents' needs."
Gould also said that of primary importance is, "having an objective analysis done before embarking on a safety complex for the town. We have to be sure we know what we need before doing anything."
The Police Department is undergoing a similar study by MRI and along with the Board of Selectman are encouraging people to participate in a survey assessing staffing and facilities issues. The survey is said to take 10 minutes and is available online at northhampton-nh.gov/. Residents may call Chief Brian Page directly at 984-8621 with any questions.
Special fund proposed
for cable access
The BOS held a public hearing on the special revenue fund warrant article for the town's Cable Access Channel. If approved by voters, the establishment of the PEG Access Television fund will allow for the hiring of a staffer for Channel 22 by way of money accumulated through Comcast subscriber fees returned to the town. Further, the board approved a payment of $18,149.45 from the current fund for cameras, microphones and other production equipment.
$57K to go to sidewalk project
In other new business, a contract to not exceed $57,000 for the Atlantic Avenue sidewalk project was approved for CLD Consulting Engineers, Inc. The town and/or residents will be responsible for the maintenance of the sidewalk.
Board adopts
deposit policy
In the name of better financial controls and accountability for the town, the board unanimously approved a new deposit policy. Town Administrator Steve Fournier said, "The deposit policy is a completely new one. It came about because the state laws changed recently to allow the town treasurer to delegate making deposits to other individuals."
Town Manager Steve Fournier continued, "While the law is reflecting past practice, the town never had a policy on how they should be handled. Now, we have certain individuals who may make the deposits for the town. This will make sure that our deposits are being handled timely and securely."
The additional person(s) will be insured and bonded.
Cell antenna debated
After some discussion regarding the specific language of a letter encouraging a wireless distributed antenna system for cell phones the board approved it 2-0 with Craig Salomon abstaining. The letter references a local company as a potential service provider and Gould stated he was concerned in that the way the letter reads there was a pitch.
"I don't want to be advocating one company over another," he said.
Fournier said he was, "comfortable with the letter and letting national carriers know there is a local company available to provide services."
Changes to summer recreation programs
Fournier reported to the board there would be some changes in the North Hampton Summer Recreation programs and fee structure to allow for part-time options in terms of day park and activities. He also noted the fees were on average or slightly lower than area communities.
Candidates night March 6
There is a candidates night scheduled for Thursday, March 6 at 7 p.m. at North Hampton School in which the public can meet and ask questions of BOS candidate Don Gould (incumbent) and Michael Coutu (challenger).

One of my favorites played their last reunion show & what a mess it was. They couldn't even get through their last three, completely out of tune songs. So sloppy, so drunk, but honestly that's why I love 'em & I wouldn't have had it any other way. RIP

Storm Active: September 12-20
Early in the second week of September, a strong tropical wave was already very evident over Africa, and it was monitored for development even before leaving the coast. By the time it did emerge over the Atlantic Ocean on September 11, it was very organized and was already showing tropical characteristics. As a result, the system was declared Tropical Depression Twelve on September 12. As the depression turned westnorthwest, it intensified into Tropical Storm Julia late on September 12.
Early on September 13, the southernmost Cape Verde islands experienced tropical storm conditions, as Julia passed just to the southwest. Julia took a more northward track than the cyclones before it, but it still intensified over the next day, as the predecessor of an eyewall formed near Julia's center, signifying a very healthy cyclone. The storm continued this strengthening trend, and became a Category 1 hurricane early on September 14.
It continued to strengthen through the morning as a structure that was almost an eye appeared, but Julia stabilized later in the afternoon after strengthening rapidly to its peak intensity as a Category 4 hurricane with 135 mph winds and a pressure of 950 mb early on September 15.
The cyclone turned farther to the north and began a general northwest motion. It began to encounter less favorable conditions as it approached cooler water and shear associated with the outflow of Igor. However, during its time as a Category 4, Julia set the record for strongest Atlantic cyclone east of 35ºW, surpassing the record set by Hurricane Fred just a year earlier. Julia continued to weaken over the next day, but wind shear died down slightly later on September 16, as Julia took a more westward turn. Julia maintained its Category 1 intensity over the next day, despite entering the outflow of the much larger and powerful Igor.
Julia continued weakening, and the center became separated from the convection on September 17. As a result, Julia soon became a tropical storm. Julia continued weakening into September 19, as it turned north and then northeast, accelerating over the open ocean. The system became extratropical on September 20, and started to be absorbed over the next day as a frontal boundary associated with Igor engulfed it. Julia caused only minimal damage while passing the Cape Verde islands, and was only notable for being a major hurricane very far east.

Genesis might not do another reunion, but the Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks trio that made up the last lineup of the band remain close friends.
If Collins and Rutherford have already proved that by touring Europe together this summer with their respective projects, Collins' solo band and Rutherford's Mike + The Mechanics, they made it clear at a recent concert in Berlin when the two collaborated on Genesis' 1978 hit "Follow You, Follow Me." It was the first time the two have performed together since 2007.
The audience erupted in applause when Collins introduced Rutherford. The longtime Genesis bassist strolled to an acoustic guitar at a seat next to his former drummer. As the band began to play, the video screen behind the stage rolled footage of Genesis.
Check out the fan-shot video in the player above.
Collins' 'Not Dead Yet, Live!' tour has seen the singer working more Genesis material into his live concerts than in years past, when he's focused mostly on his solo catalog.
Since Collins returned to performing live in 2015, he and his former Genesis band mates, Rutherford, Banks and even guitarist Steve Hackett (who left the band in 1976) have addressed the possibility of one last reunion.
All four have acknowledged that Collins' inability to play drums again is an obstacle to a reunion. Collins himself suggested his son Nic Collins, who has been playing drums in his live band for several years, could fulfill the role.
Banks confirmed early last year that he and Rutherford see one another often, and that he "wouldn't rule [a reunion] out at all."
Rutherford said earlier this spring that the fact that Phil has figured out a way to perform despite his physical challenges "quite interesting" and acknowledged that he does miss playing Genesis music live.

8.559174 - STILL, W.G.: Symphony No. 1, "Afro-American" / In Memoriam / Africa (Fort Smith Symphony, Jeter)
William Grant Still (1895-1978)
Symphony No. 1 'Afro-American' (1930)
In Memoriam: The Colored Soldiers Who Died for Democracy (1943) • Africa (1930)
The life and career of the African-American composer William Grant Still certainly qualifies as the quintessential American success story. Often referred to as the dean of African-American composers, Still was born in Woodville, Mississippi on 11th May, 1895, to a family of Negro, Indian, Spanish, Irish and Scotch blood. Still's father, the town bandmaster, died when William was three, precipitating a move to Little Rock, Arkansas, where Still's mother was a teacher. There Still had his first musical experience, studying the violin. At his mother's urging he began medical studies but dropped out as music exerted a stronger pull. He initially worked as an arranger for several popular performers including W.C. Handy, composer of the immortal St Louis Blues, and Artie Shaw, whose hit Frenesi he orchestrated. Music study at Oberlin was interrupted by naval service in the First World War. After the war Still moved to New York, working for Handy and playing the oboe in pit orchestras while he studied composition with the conservative George Chadwick and the ultra-modernist Edgar Varèse. Still arrived in New York at the perfect time, actively participating in the cultural awakening of African-Americans in the 1920s, a period known as the Harlem Renaissance. His attention turned to classical composition for good in the late 1920s. A move to Los Angeles in 1930 to arrange for Paul Whiteman expanded his horizons into film and radio while initiating his compositional maturity and most prolific period. That year also saw the creation of his Symphony No. 1 'Afro- American' which has sustained his reputation and remains his most popular and frequently recorded work.
Like many African-Americans of his generation, Still achieved many 'firsts': first African-American to have a symphony performed by a major symphony orchestra (1935, New York Philharmonic, Afro-American); first to conduct a major orchestra (1936, Los Angeles Philharmonic); first to conduct an orchestra in the Deep South (1955, New Orleans Philharmonic); first to have an opera produced by a major company (1949, Troubled Island, New York City Opera) and first to have an opera broadcast on television (posthumously in 1981, A Bayou Legend, PBS). Still received many honours including the Guggenheim fellowship, honorary doctorates from Oberlin among others and the key to his home state in 1975. He died in Los Angeles on 3rd December, 1978.
Still's most distinctive works are nationalistic, using African-American forms such as the blues, spirituals and jazz in addition to other ethnic American musics. After a flirtation with avant-garde techniques early in his career, Still returned to a neo-romantic idiom with lyrical melody and traditional harmony. His work retains a freshness that has immediate appeal.
Of his nearly 150 works in various media, it was the 'Afro-American' Symphony that established Still's reputation worldwide. It was first given in 1931 by that indefatigable champion of his fellow composers, Howard Hanson, with the Rochester (NY) Symphony. It rapidly established itself in the repertoire, including the New York Philharmonic performance at Carnegie Hall and performances by 34 other American orchestras in the 1930s alone. Still succinctly described his goals in writing the work: 'I knew I wanted to write a symphony; I knew that it had to be an American work; and I wanted to demonstrate how the blues, so often considered a lowly expression, could be elevated to the highest musical level.' After the work's completion, Still appended verse by Paul Lawrence Dunbar to illuminate the mood of each movement. A deeply religious man, he inscribed the work (as he did each of his works) to God, 'the source of all inspiration'.
The first movement, Longing, begins with the principal melody, an original twelve-bar blues melody stated by the English horn. The instrumental colour cannot fail to bring to mind the nostalgic solo for the same instrument in Dvořák's New World Symphony. Still submits this melody to thematic transformation throughout the work in the Lisztian tradition with great craftsmanship. Throughout this movement, the essential three-chord harmonic structure of the blues acts as a powerful underpinning to moods of brooding and exultation. The second theme in the oboe represents another major genre of African-American music, the spiritual. A vigorous development of these materials leads to their recapitulation in reverse order. The final appearance of the blues theme, fully orchestrated, leads to an affirmative ending in the major. The slow movement, Sorrow, depicts the strength of an oppressed people, bloodied but not broken. Solo oboe over flute and string accompaniment presents the main theme. The blues theme of the first movement reappears later in the flute, vacillating between major and minor. Slowly rolled harp arpeggios accompany a transformation of the oboe theme. Both themes return in reverse order to close the movement. The third movement fulfills the traditional scherzo function. Entitled Humor, it is the most popular of the four movements and is often performed independently. The third major genre of African-American music, dance music, which encompasses ragtime and jazz, is celebrated with distinctive syncopated cross-rhythms and 'backbeat' figures. The use of the banjo (the first use of the instrument in a symphony) adds local colour to the festive atmosphere. A tune vaguely reminiscent of Gershwin's I've Got Rhythm appears here. Still's melody predates Gershwin's, the tune being improvised by Still in the 1920s while performing in the Broadway show Shuffle Along. As contemporaries who moved in the same circles and admired each other's work, Still and Gershwin consciously and unconsciously influenced each other. The finale, Aspiration, provides a noble peroration as it unites the themes and style of the previous movements, demonstrating that a distinctive American voice in music is intrinsically tied to the musics and contributions of African-Americans.
The brief orchestral work In Memoriam was the most successful of a group of works on patriotic themes commissioned by the League of Composers during the Second World War. It was first performed by the New York Philharmonic on 5th January, 1944, with Artur Rodzinski conducting. The New York Times critic Olin Downes remarked on its powerful 'simplicity and feeling, without affectation or attitudinizing'. The wording of the title does carry an ironic aspect, reflecting the fact that African-Americans were fighting for world freedom and civilisation abroad while being denied those very freedoms at home.
Africa is one of Still's grandest achievements. This symphonic poem in three movements had a tortuous genesis. Still began work on it in 1924, envisioning it as the first part of a trilogy of works depicting the African- American experience: Africa representing their roots, the Afro-American Symphony life in America, and Symphony No. 2: Saga of a New Race, a vision of an integrated society. Still originally wrote the work for chamber orchestra, dedicating it to the eminent French flautist George Barrère, the dedicatee of Varèse's Density 21.5, who gave the first performance with the Barrère Little Symphony in 1930. Constantly refining the work, Still re-orchestrated it for full orchestra. Again, Howard Hanson gave the second première on 24th October, 1930, in Rochester, New York. It aroused a sensation, in Still's words. It had successful German and Parisian performances the following year, further establishing his reputation. Still, however, was not totally satisfied, revising it six times before he, strangely, withdrew the work, leaving it unpublished.
In Africa Still creates an imagined view of African history in the fashion of the exoticized orchestral works of Rimsky-Korsakov. The first movement, Land of Peace, has two themes, depicting the pastoral and spiritual. Movement two, Land of Romance, reflects sadness, moving to passionate longing at the end. The finale, Land of Superstition, expresses, in the words of Still's wife Verna Arvey 'unspoken fears (and) lurking terrors'.

I actually read this book a little over a year ago. But Somewhere Inside still remains as one of the most compelling not to mention most emotional autobiography I have ever read (there were definitely times when I was crying while reading this book on the Boston T). This memoir recalls journalist, Laura Ling's experience of being jailed in North Korea after being accused of illegally trespassing into the border along with her co-worker, Euna Lee as well as her sister, Lisa Ling's campaign in rescuing them from captivity. The story also incorporates stories of Lisa and Laura's childhood and growing up together as sisters and how their sibling relationship has evolved and further strengthened during Laura's captivity. It is this positive enforcement that pushed Lisa's determination to get her sister and her colleague out of North Korea.
Reading through this book, I could definitely tell this was some form of therapy particularly for Laura Ling who chose to recount her life in North Korea living in fear for several months inside a closed nation, not knowing whether she'll be free or be imprisoned forever and never see her family again. She and Euna were kept separately and lived in separate prisons. However, despite being imprisoned, Laura was able to make friends with the prison guards in her cell and be able to communicate with them. She was also well-fed and provided medical care. At the same time, she had to endure the commanding and often frustrating demands and unpredictable behavior of the North Korean government in trying to find solutions for her freedom. She and her family also had to be careful about how they communicated to each other through letters and occasional phone calls because they were constantly being watched and screened by the North Korean government.
Furthermore, the book clearly sheds light on life of people in North Korea and the terrible environmental and social conditions the country's citizens are living under. Overall, Somewhere Inside illustrates the challenges and risks, serious journalists encounter when trying to expose the truth about the world's problems.

It's been cold enough this winter that the pond in the park is frozen. When I drove past on my way home the other day at sundown, several kids were playing hockey on the ice. Practicing, actually. They were taking turns shooting pucks at a makeshift goal, the way they would in an organized drill. They were studying, refining, mastering, though no coach was there to direct them.
It's safe to assume that at least a few of those kids are not showing the same discipline and determination in their schoolwork that they were that night on the ice. Many of them likely struggle through much of their days sitting still, reading, answering questions. Their best selves emerge late in the day, out there on the ice. We exclaim "That's because hockey is fun!" "It's different! It's a game." "They have to do schoolwork for their own good but it's not fun so of course they resist it!"
But these explanations – the words we use to dismiss the variation in commitment we see in kids – don't hold up when checked against what we know about the diversity of actual people, based on how each of us chooses to spend time when it's up to us. There's no list of inherently fun things and another of un-fun things for kids to consult when they're choosing what to love and where to direct their resistance. (Though there do seem to be ways in which turning something into an actual game can alter the experience of it.)
Hockey is something some people love, with all the zooming around, the crashing, the strategy, the repetition, the force. And hockey is something other people wouldn't touch with a ten-foot… stick – all that high speed and spilled blood and chaos and repetition and bruising. For some people, hockey is fun. For others, yikes.
So it doesn't work to say hockey IS fun, just as it doesn't work to say that schoolwork IS NOT fun. I sat with a 14 year-old the other day who, when she arrived at my office, was exhausted and deflated from a week of racing around from class to activity to part-time job. After a few minutes of reviewing practice SAT questions, she was invigorated and delighted. She loves to think about words, about what they're doing in sentences and paragraphs, how they can be interpreted in more than one way. Others would have wanted to poke their eyes out at the thought of spending time on this kind of thing.
Fun is not a fact, it's a taste. It's a specific and dynamic way of relating to an activity. When a person is experiencing it, they're often driven to push themselves toward deeper mastery. Someone who under one set of circumstances appears lazy and indifferent can in the context of something that's fun for them look like a patient and driven student, striving for excellence.
We can choose to roll our eyes and scowl when we see kids favoring the things that are fun for them, or we can get interested in what they're choosing. If it's future work and livelihood we're worried about (when they show preference for things we think are distracting them from what's important), we'll be wise to notice that kids' choices can actually tell us a lot about what kinds of work they may be suited to – what kinds of participation and contribution might be right for them.
If we can find the courage to open ourselves up to it, we'll see that whatever is setting those fires of commitment and determination under kids can expertly inform the guidance we offer them. What we learn from their choices and preferences can help make it possible for us to offer kids the chance to carve paths through life that make the best possible use of the capacities and commitments they're already carrying around with them.

"Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed an adoption bill into law on Thursday that allows adoption agencies receiving public funding to refuse to place children in adoptive families or foster homes that conflict with the agencies' religious beliefs." Jurist
There are 6 Comments
He who pays the piper, calls the tune.
It seems to me that in today's post-Obergefeld judiciary, this won't last long, right or wrong in God's eyes. It also strikes me that if Christians were motivated to adopt, it would be rare for a child to be put in a home to which the agencies would object.

NJ Allowed A GAY Couple To Adopt A Child.
This adoption occurred about 12 years ago or so. A homosexual couple took in a white crack aides baby boy They nursed the child back to health through very difficult circumstances and at 2 years old the child was doing really well. As it turned out the child did not have aides and was now thriving.
Now the Gay couple decided to adopt the child and when this happened the Fundy/Evangelical community came out the woodwork and demonized the State of NJ and the gay couple.
My only problem with the situation WHERE WAS THE FUNDY/EVANGELICAL community when the child was all messed up and was misdiagnosed with aids. Why were they there only when the child was healthy.
To me I don't support Gay couples adopting children, but in this situation I actually supported it, because it was an indictment of the Fundy/Evangelical community for turning their backs on these babies ie they only wanted them if they were healthy If the Fundy/Evangelical Community was not there adopting all these sick children then I say their actions were sinful and extremely hypocritical. Par for the course for some Christians.
My only problem with the
My only problem with the situation WHERE WAS THE FUNDY/EVANGELICAL community when the child was all messed up and was misdiagnosed with aids.
Why is that a problem? Perhaps they didn't know about this child. Or didn't have the opportunity to help. There appears to be no reason to think that the "fundy/evangelical community" (whatever that is) was hardhearted toward this child or any other. That is the kind of judgment that should not be made.
Statistically, but not absolutely
Perhaps a way of rephrasing things is that there are apparently about 100,000 foster children eligible to be adopted. If one family from each evangelical church in the country adopted one with support from the church, there would be zero. I'm not a good choice yet with six kids yet in the home, but as natural fertility wanes....really, if fundagelicals stepped up to the plate, we could solve this problem.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
Larry At That Time It Was Well Publicized Re: Crack Babies
Larry in NJ at that time it was well publicized that Crack/Aides babies needed homes. In fact it was in the Newark NJ area. The babies were staying in the hospitals and the hospitals were desperate because they were not set up to take care of the children long term.
The reason the hospitals publicized the situation was because they had no takers or a very small amount.
So yes Larrry where was the Fundy/Evangelical Community. So yes Larry the judgement should be made. That was brought up in the courts when the Fundy/Evangelicals (Christian Right) tried to unsuccessfully take the child away from the gay couple. To late and very foolish of the Christian community. It was more like the anti gay issue was the issue tather than what was best for the child.
The appearance was that now that child was white and had no aides there were plenty of takers lining up.
On restricting the right to adopt
One note here is that if--as I believe we should--we desire to restrict the right to adopt, we've got to have not just a hypothesis ("those who have sex with other men are likely to attempt the same with male children"), but rather a theory--a hypothesis backed by some data. At this point, we don't have that. What we have at this point is about a number of studies that do not show clear statistical differences in any category examined. Now there is some difficulty in that many of them seem to compare with a control of single parents, or do not have a control sample at all.
That noted, we can infer that if we come out (no pun intended) against homosexuals adopting, we simultaneously need to come out against single people adopting. At this point, it's a fight we just can't win, except....by encouraging churches and couples to adopt and come together for difficult adoption cases.

When Amanda Blick, a young mother and kindhearted San Francisco heiress, finds her gorgeous French chef husband wrapped around his sous-chef, she knows she must flee her life in order to rebuild it. The opportunity falls into her lap when her (very lovable) mother suggests Amanda and her young son, Max, spend the summer with her at the St. Regis Resort in Laguna Beach. With the waves right outside her windows and nothing more to worry about than finding the next relaxing thing to do, Amanda should be having the time of her life—and escaping the drama. But instead, she finds herself faced with a kind, older divorcee who showers her with attention… and she discovers that the road to healing is never simple. This is the sometimes funny, sometimes bitter, but always moving story about the mistakes and discoveries a woman makes when her perfect world is turned upside down.
Monarch Beach is a nice summer read. It details Amanda's life after walking in on her husband having an affair and her journey of recovery and self-discovery as she tries figure out who she is. It's not the most profound book I've ever read, but I found it enjoyable.
One issue I did have with Monarch Beach was the constant name-dropping with all the designer clothing. While I understand that some of it was necessary to help set up who Amanda's mother was (as it is a big part of her identity), I felt that about halfway through the novel it was getting overdone. Although a little bit of the name-dropping was okay in the beginning of the novel for Amanda's mother, and yes, some for Amanda too, it really wore on me after awhile. Amanda's every outfit brand was given and for me, it became overkill. I can appreciate a cute outfit and I understand that Amanda is into fashion, but I'd rather focus on the story being told rather than if the main character is wearing Gucci or Chanel.
Monarch Beach is definitely geared towards an older audience; I normally don't accept books that aren't YA for review (there are more books in the YA genre than I'll ever be able to read in my life time!) but the author was really nice when she contacted me and the blurb caught my eye. It's unlike most books I read and I figured why not give it a try? I'm glad I did; it's an enjoyable beach read with a more serious side; a story of one woman's journey to self-discovery, but there's a resort and some more fun moments during her journey!

Conscious Imperatives – Part I
A snowy road at night.
Slowly falling flakes glide across the bright beams meagerly disappearing into the night. My eyelids keep drooping, my head lolling against the seatbelt as if it were a pillow. Only the soft crackle of unplowed snow and the slight lurch of gently stopping at the gas station counteract the constant whoosh of the wipers lulling me to sleep.
I crawl from the passenger door, the cold and sudden movement waking me slightly. My feet drag designs in the heavy snow as I play my way across to the station store. I can hear the beeping of the machine and the mechanical sounds of the pump as my father begins to fill the tank.
A chime sounds its two-toned call as I slip into the fluorescent warmth and drip worldly across the tile. A woman in her mid-twenties looks up from behind the counter, turning away from the tiny TV tucked beside the register.
"Hi," I say, greeting her with grin.
"Hi there," she smiles back.
I slide through the aisles, my eyes darting between brightly colored bags of snack foods and candies. My hand grips the door to a refrigerated case and I pause for a second while I contemplate my choices. I snatch a juice from the rack and it instantaneously begins to sweat in the artificial heat of the store. My finger scrawls my name in the fog just before the door slurps shut. I can hear the clerk snicker along with a laugh track as I approach the counter. Through the window, I can see my dad replace the nozzle and begin carefully wending his way across the parking lot.
"Is that Monty Python?" I ask, my elbows pushing me up on the counter as I crane to see the minute screen.
"Sure is, honey," the woman replies, a slight note of surprise in her voice. "Are you a fan?"
"Yeah!" I say excitedly, my eyes glued to the otherworldly animation splayed on the tiny television. "They don't really show it on TV where I live, but I've seen a bunch of tapes of it."
"How old are you?" she asks intrigued.
"Twelve." I'm matter of fact, but even at that age, I know why I'm being asked. "I don't always get all the political stuff," I admit, offering her an answer to her unspoken question, "but the rest of their stuff is hilarious."
The door chimes behind me as my father comes in. I don't turn to watch him retreat for a drink like I did.
"Yeah," she laughs, "I don't get all of it either."
"Oh! I love this sketch!" I cry, recognizing the dead parrot and the pat shop instantaneously.
"Is this one yours?" the woman asks as my father approaches. I let their brief conversation fade into the background, concentrating on the brilliance of absurdist humor. As the cash register clinks shut, I glance at my dad.
"I'll see you in the car in a minute," he says.
"Ok," I reply, trying hard not to interrupt the show. As the general enters the store and breaks the fourth wall, I turn back to the clerk. "I don't know why they don't show more great old shows on TV anymore. I mean, nothing I've seen that's new is as good as Monty Python."
"I know, right?" she says.
"Well, have a good night," I say, turning back toward the snowy drive ahead.
"You too. Stay warm," she calls as I slip out the door.
I try to step in my dad's footprints as I make my way back through the snow. My shoes are just a little too wide and the heavy tread of my sneakers mar the simplicity of his dress shoes. The wipers are going and heat is blowing as I slide into the passenger seat once more.
"Where'd you learn that?" my dad asks as we creak back toward the highway.
"What? You showed me Monty Python." My brow is furrowed and I roll my eyes at his poor memory.
"Not the show. Where'd you learn to flirt like that?"
"I wasn't flirting," I snap, surprised.
"Yes, you were."
"I was not! Besides, she was like thirty!"
"If you say so," he relents with a knowing smirk, "but it sure looked like flirting to me."
The snow continues to fall gently, our tires slowly churning the fresh layer as we cruise over it. I stare out the window, wondering if my dad was right, wondering if life is really so obscured that I don't even know my own actions. I'm too naïve and uneducated to connect the age-old debate of ends and means, intent and outcome, but these are the issues my growing consciousness struggles with as we drive homeward.
"I wasn't flirting," I mumble, trying to put the issue to rest, more for myself than him.
"Sure," my dad replies. But I'm not.

As trial nears of a negligence lawsuit filed against Sharon Stone by a man who alleges he was injured during a fall at her home, the actress is asking a judge for protection from possible threats and invasion of her privacy.
Peter Krause sued Stone in Los Angeles Superior Court in August 2008, claiming he tumbled down a ``large, concealed drop-off'' while installing speakers in the back yard of the property two years earlier. Trial is scheduled July 5.
``I am very concerned that during the course of this case my home address and the location of the property might be publicly disclosed in court records (or) during court proceedings,'' the actress states in a sworn declaration. ``I believe that the public disclosure of the location of my residence would expose me to safety and security risks.''
U.S. & World
Stone also says her past experiences guide her in her concerns.
``I have had several frightening experiences with stalkers, delusional individuals and others threatening to harm me in the past and I therefore take security and safety issues very seriously,'' she says. ``I have been informed by professionals that some unbalanced individuals engage in this type of threatening behavior because they seek notoriety and that public reports of incidents involving stalkers can also inspire copycat behavior.''
The actress says she tries to balance her professional and private lives. ``I understand that when I am out in public I am often followed by paparazzi,'' Stone states. ``However, I strive to maintain my privacy around and at my residence. I live with my three young children on a quiet street in a low-profile community. Stone says that if her address is made public it could fall into the hands of ``unbalanced individuals or individuals wishing to cause me harm.''
Her attorneys also are seeking to prevent Krause's lawyers from presenting testimony that the actress did not have a permit for a chain link fence at the rear of her property. They say the information is irrelevant and would be prejudicial.
Krause maintains he fell onto the fence and that it gave way, causing him to tumble into the adjoining property. Stone, 53, is perhaps best known for her role in the 1992 film, ``Basic Instinct.''
