---- — As diehard beachgoers jam sun umbrellas into the back of closets and pack towels away in totes, city employees taking a last look at the beach revenues from the summer of 2013 are finding that, though parking revenues fell behind last year's pull, the parking dollars leave Gloucester in a good place.
This summer's take of $1.61 million falls roughly $40,000 short of last season's nearly $1.65 million, but exceeds the 2011 summer's parking revenues by just over $100,000. The city typically collects parking revenues from Memorial Day to Labor Day, according to Public Works Director Mike Hale.
"It's all really weather-based," Hale said. "It's just a really busy day, the difference of a weekend, between this year and last year."
The city consistently collects the highest portion of beach parking revenues from Good Harbor Beach, with Wingaersheek not far behind and a smaller portion of the money coming in from Stage Fort Park beach parking.
A rainy start to June set the city's beach revenue about $145,000 behind the previous year just before the last weekend of the month, that weekend being a scorcher that ramped up the season's revenue. July and August held strong after that.
"I remember at the beginning of June being concerned whether we would reach the budgeted amount," the city's auditor Kenny Costa wrote in a letter to city councilors, referring to the total for fiscal 2013, which ran only through June 30. The $1.61 million figure is for the calendar year season of May to September, but the figures can be telling heading into the second of the current fiscal year, which runs through June 30, 2014.
Costa expects the city to pull in about $3 million "free cash" out of the last fiscal year, with beach revenues that came in over budget contributing to that pot. Mayor Carolyn Kirk budgeted for $1.4 million in beach revenues for 2013, and the beaches slid comfortably past that goal at the close of the fiscal year in June, totaling in at over $1.5 million for the fiscal year. The mayor set the expected beach parking revenue for the current fiscal year 2014 at $1.45 million.
While critics have said the revenues in general have "under budgeted," Public Works Director Hale supports the mayor's approach on beach revenues.
"Beach revenue is one of those very, very difficult things to project," Hale said. "It's irresponsible to over estimate beach revenues knowing it could rain."
As for next year, according to Hale, revenues could look bright for Gloucester. While the June's beach parking revenues nudged the fiscal year 2013 take in past its budgeted mark, a hot July and August set a high bar for fiscal 2014.
"We had a nice July and August 2013," he said; "If we can couple that with a nice June 2014, that's a great fiscal year."

For Buffalo Bills fans, the thought of checking out this week's power rankings probably doesn't sound too appealing.
They might be surprised.
A large sampling of the biggest ratings out there shows the Bills didn't slip much after their 52-28 loss to the New England Patriots.
Perhaps it's the power of the Patriots and the expectation that they're supposed to beat the Bills anyway, but the Bills are at about the same place -- and in many cases higher -- than they were after their victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week Two.
Let's take a look at where the 2-2 Bills rank among the NFL's 32 clubs in a collection of power rankings (with that outlet's ranking from last week when available).

Monte Burke, Contributor
I'm a feature-writer at Forbes and a senior editor at ForbesLife
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, one of the best defensive players ever to suit up in the NFL, announced yesterday that he will retire at the end of the Ravens' season, telling his teammates: "This will be my last ride." The Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC wildcard game this weekend.
But don't expect to see any less of Lewis, post-retirement. In fact, we may be seeing more of him. Sports Illustrated has already reported that Lewis is set to join ESPN as a football analyst, a move that does not surprise David Schwab, the managing director of Octagon First Call, a marketing agency. "Lewis speaks his mind and he sounds great on TV," says Schwab. If ESPN does indeed sign him, Schwab expects that a star turn by Lewis on sister network ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" may not be far behind. NFL players Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward and Donald Driver are all former champs on the show.
But studio analysis and dancing may only be part of Lewis' post-football career mix. Lewis is well-known for his pregame pump-up speeches to his teammates (a skill which has already been exploited by advertisers. See this ad for EA Sports' game, Madden 13.). Schwab expects him to write some sort of motivational memoir in the coming years, then possibly parlay that into the lucrative speech-making circuit, where the top speakers are paid between $20,000-$75,000 per gig. "That could be his big windfall, taking that message to a sales organization and motivating 250 people who are wearing khakis and polos," says Schwab.
And then there are the endorsement opportunities. Lewis is already locked up with Under Armour, and produced a series of commercials around "Protect this House" theme. Schwab envisions the Baltimore-based sports apparel company designing a new ad, where its other endorsers, like Tom Brady, Lindsey Vonn and Michael Phelps, appear and thank Lewis for "protecting this house."
Under Armour, Schwab says, may also consider a line of Ray Lewis clothing. "He fits right into what they are trying to project," says Schwab. "You feel like football guys would want to wear his clothes, would feel almost empowered by doing so."
Schwab also envisions Lewis perhaps playing a part in some non-football TV ads. "He comes across as a tough-but-lovable guy," says Schwab. "I could see creative directors of some advertising agency creating a commercial without anyone cast, then deciding that he's the right fit."
Lewis' one potential negative when it comes to endorsements and the like is his 2000 murder indictment following the stabbing death of two men after a Super Bowl party in Atlanta that year. The charges against Lewis were later dropped in return for his testimony. The incident still raises a few eyebrows, but for the most part, it has not seemed to stain him. "It's an interesting case," says Schwab. "The media has had something to do with it, so has the way he's performed on the field and interacted with fans. For some guys, these things seem to stay with them forever. For others, it just goes away. People know about this incident, but in general they don't seem to hold it against him."
My book: "4th AND GOAL: One Man's Quest to Recapture His Dream."
"Gripping and unforgettable." Jim Nantz, CBS Sports
"This is a book you must read." Bill Cowher
"A captivating biography." Publishers Weekly
"A winning story for fans of Friday Night Lights and believers in the American Dream." Kirkus
Follow me on Twitter.
So your only source for this story is regurgitation of the praise for Lewis from his marketing agent? I expect a little more of Forbes blogs than that.
I think he may follow the Emmit Smith arc- he spent, what, one season as an ESPN analyst before getting canned for basically being way to factual and without having nearly enough over-the-top ridiculousness (ala Steve Young)?
But you really should put some of your own opinion into this, rather than just repeating what you heard from a marketing agent.
Allow me to share some Emmit Smith quotes with you from his days on espn.
"Not only does he have the NFC East record for touchdowns, but also the team record."
"You cannot change the stripes of a leopard."
"Last year there was a lot of things the Colts had to address. They couldn't stop the run, and all those. That was one of the biggest things they had to address."
"Wes Worker is a possession receiver that make things happen."
"Eli Manning has been given the rites of patches."
those are just a few of the awful announcing quotes by Emmit Smith. He stuttered, stumbled and made up words on ESPN that were at times, literally nonsense.
djvanderhoeven, this is call ironic. As you it appears you should have done exactly what you are telling the author of this article to do.
sorry, mistype.
"Should do the exact opposite of what you are telling the author to do. Which is less of your own opinion and some research. Emmit Smith is almost legendary for his terrible commenting. "L Cool JJ" "Plaxico Berries"
I do not doubt that Ray Lewis will be successful once his on-field football career ends (likely this weekend as the Ravens' 2012 downward spiral continues), but I do wonder how much of that success will hinge on his image and how much will actually come from Lewis himself. Motivational speeches with teammates, in the emotion of the moment, are one thing; but making a living talking is a difficult thing to do beyond one's natural milieu.
Don't get me wrong – I think Lewis' insights from the broadcast booth or commentators' desk could be fascinating and entertaining if he goes that route. But what I've seen of him relies more on image than on his skills as an orator.
An example is that fantastic NFL safety commercial with Tom Brady where – in the spot's denouement ("I'd love to meet the little guy") – Lewis's impact is made with his mere presence. I really haven't seen much more of Lewis to suggest to me that he has the chops to excel on the speaking circuit or broadcast booth (granted, I live in New England, where the Ravens brand doesn't sell very well and so my exposure to Lewis is limited).
In my opinion, shrewd management of Ray Lewis as a brand would first maximize those opportunities (and they are many) to take advantage of his image while grooming and evaluating him for eventual success as a personality; moving too quickly risks overexposing the man and devaluing his potential if he's not ready. He has existing relationships with UA and EA Sports, and along with a possible role on ESPN, those should prove to be sufficient for building Lewis' post-player career.
That said, I also think Ray Lewis is smart enough, confident enough, and sufficiently self-aware to make the right decisions for himself. The timing of his retirement announcement was no accident. I think he recognizes that his team lacks focus and "winning one for Ray" may be the Ravens only shot at extending their season and Lewis' career for at least one more week. That kind of savvy doesn't come accidentally.
Mike, you speak my setiments exactly!
I remember during a 2011 pre-season game Lewis was mic-ed on the sidelines and calling some play-by-play while rookie Tyrod Taylor was leading the offense and thinking that eventually Lewis could have a second career in the broadcast booth.

Hello there,
May is a wonderful time to explore the Bavarian Mountains, and what better place to do so than Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We had spent some time there in the past, doing some climbing, hiking and biking there, but this time, we decided to rent a Ferienwohnung (vacation apartment) in the Partenkirchner part of Garmisch-Partenkirchen for the whole month of May. Spring is the perfect season to enjoy the delights of Bavaria, without the crowds that fill this Aspen of Germany for
Ahhhthe hidden wonder in the woods. Its amazing how many people live in this areaor go to school close by and have never been to the Mohonk Mountain House. This interesting resort, perched on a mountaintop, truly is a destination.

A few days ago we took a walk around the Viaduc des Art, near the Gare de Lyon and ended up at a planted promenade, an elevated, sort of secret garden.The Promenade Plantee, as the French call it, is just that, a promenade that is simply full of plants. And, it's elevated. The Promenade Plante is one of Paris' most secret gardens, a zealously-guarded place to stroll, muse, and enjoy the blooms. Its contemporary appeal is unbeatable: the long, narrow stretch of trees and planted

Now that Spring and fine weather has finally come to Paris, we took our bikes out at the spur of the moment and took a spin through the Bois de Bologne. It is in the very middle of the Bois de Boulogne, in the XVIth arrondissement of Paris, that we discovered the Jardin de Bagatelle.
It was thanks to a bet between Marie-Antoinette and her brother-in-law the Count of Artois in 1777 that this splendid garden took form in only 64 days! Today it
After biking from Inn-to-Inn in Germany and Austria, my husband and I were ready for a new adventure. We wanted to do some sea kayaking on the coast of Maine for a few days, preferably kayaking from Inn-to-Inn, but was there such a thing?

Guide to sweatshop-free buying - why "buy blue" is not enough
by ACSR, Mon May 08, 2006 at 05:42:02 PM EDT
This is another of my rambling screeds. It concerns a subject near and dear to our hearts: Money. The "buy blue" idea got some attention after the 2004 elections. (see http://www.buyblue.org/) The idea is buying products from companies that donate to Democrats, and boycotting companies that donate to Republicans. This sort of information is available on http://www.opensecrets.org/ and other sites. "Buy American" has been a watchword for decades, especially during the 1980s and 1990s when we saw the bottom falling out of the Rust Belt's manufacturing base because of Reaganomics and globalization. Another thing people do is buy local or maybe bioregional. This is especially popular among Greens; buy from local farmers markets and so on. There are also those who make a point of keeping their transactions in places like barter and eBay as much as possible, those who make a point of buying only "socially responsible" products such as recycled or environmentally friendly, and some individual companies people go out of their way to give business to like Citgo.
All those things are probably good, but they are not enough. Some of them are based on flawed reasoning. What I really want is to secede completely from the sweatshop economy. It's not enough for a product to be environmentally friendly if the people making it got paid 75 cents an hour. That's not even enough to eat decently on, much less send your kids to college. It's also not enough to buy from a company that makes big donations to Democrats, if that same company is selling shelf after shelf of cheap goods made in China and dumped on the U.S. market. It's not enough to buy American if companies can locate in Saipan or Guam where U.S. labor laws don't apply, pay workers $1/hour but still use the "made in USA" label. This loophole was pointed out to me when I made an earlier comment about buying American. For that matter there are American companies that are notorious union-busters, and some of them are even located in places like Ohio and California that are otherwise relatively pro-union states.

Man, 19, held on felony sex crime chargesBy PATRICK MCARDLE
Staff Writer | February 04,2013MANCHESTER — A local teenager was ordered held without bail on Friday after police said he held a woman in her apartment, groped her and attempted to put his hand inside her clothing on Jan. 22.
Robert Bessette, 19, of Manchester, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Friday on two felony counts of lewd and lascivious conduct and a felony count of second-degree unlawful restraint. Bessette pleaded innocent to the charges.
In an affidavit, Officer Paul McGann, of the Manchester Police Department, said he had met with a woman on Jan. 23 around 8:20 p.m. who complained that Bessette had been bothering her as she was trying to move out of a Main Street apartment.
The woman, who had a relationship with Bessette, told police at the time that there had not been "anything physical" but said she wanted Bessette to "leave her alone," according to the affidavit.
On Jan. 24, however, McGann said he learned the woman had requested a temporary relief from abuse order from Bennington family court and reported that Bessette had tried to initiate sexual conduct with her against her will on Jan. 22.
McGann said he met with the woman on Jan. 24 and asked her to tell him what happened on Jan. 22.
According to the affidavit, the woman said Bessette had tried to initiate sexual contact at the Main Street apartment with her at least five times.
The woman said Bessette pinned her down in the kitchen and touched her several times while he was in the apartment. She told McGann he also attempted to put his hands inside her clothing several times.
Arguing that Bessette should be held without bail, Bennington County Deputy State's Attorney Alexander Burke pointed out that Bessette was already on probation and had previously been convicted of seven misdemeanors and four felonies.
Judge Cortland Corsones ruled that Bessette would be held without bail until a hearing to determine if Bessette will have a chance to be released pending the resolution of the case. Corsones said he made his decision based on Bessette's criminal history and the serious nature of the new charges.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Royalton man denied charges that he pointed a gun at a woman and her...

The Social Conscience of Islam: Muslim Praxis and the Poor CANCELLED
2:10-5 p.m., Monday
Danielle Widmann Abraham
This course is designed to familiarize students with the religious traditions of Islam through an examination of the question of poverty. Islamic teachings posit that care of the vulnerable, and the equitable distribution of wealth, are hallmarks of the religious life of people and communities. We will examine Muslim thought and practice surrounding the question of poverty, looking at how formal religious ethics shape religious praxis. The course is divided into two parts: the first part of the course looks at the foundational teachings about care for the poor, while the second half of the course looks at the socio-cultural experiences of Muslims dealing with poverty in the modern world. Using resources from the sociology and anthropology of religion, this course will also explore categories of analysis and prominent tensions and cultural trends that can be useful in approaching the study of other religious traditions and contexts. No previous study of Islam required for the course.

"Forgiveness honors the heart's greatest dignity. Whenever we are lost, it brings us back to the ground of love. With forgiveness we become unwilling to attack or wish harm to another. Whenever we forgive, in small ways at home, or in great ways between nations, we free ourselves from the past." -- Jack Kornfield
"Without forgiveness, there really is no future."-- Desmond Tutu
This is a class in forgiveness. Students will covenant to learn and practice forgiveness together. They'll gain skills in forgiveness which have been demonstrated to improve people's health and well-being. They'll discover how people all over the world -- today and in times past -- have understood and used forgiveness as a tool for healing and liberation. As a result of this class, their skills in both pastoral and prophetic ministry will be strengthened so that they might promote forgiveness in whatever settings they find themselves.

This foundational seminar, required of all Fall 2007 entering Starr King M.Div. and MASC students, will introduce the eight threshold areas in which Starr King students must achieve competency before graduation, as well as Starr King School's educational practice of Educating to Counter Oppressions and Create Just and Sustainable Communities (ECO). Participants will learn and practice using tools of social and cultural analysis, self-critical analysis, and leadership in their personal spheres of influence. They will experience an approach to ECO work which emphasizes creating and constructing structures of justice, in addition to countering or being "anti"-oppressions. The course will orient students to the school's educational values and the task of integrating the arts of ministry, the academic disciplines of theological and religious studies, and the professional and personal qualities needed in ministry. Weekly small group discussion sections will be arranged and led by advanced Starr King students serving as ECO Teaching Assistants.

This course provides a foundation for the various ecological models that will be discussed in their evolutionary and historical context. We shall begin our studies of the human being by looking at the physical and the biological evolution of the universe. This will set up the stage for effectively placing the human where s/he truly belongs. Then, we shall look at the cultural, societal, psychological and spiritual growth of the Homo sapiens. Our journey of evolution will have a heavy emphasis on the aesthetics, beauty, interconnectedness, interdependence and respect for physis, conservation, simple living, harmony and peace.

Performance as Spiritual Praxis CANCELLED
2:10-5 p.m., Wednesday
JoAnne Henry
This inter/inneractive interdisciplinary class is predicated on the notions that the performing arts help create a play space for Spirit to break through in houses of worship and in social/political movements, and the work of the performer in preparation and execution of performances can be seen as a spiritual practice. In this foundational course we will come to our own understandings of the drama of ritual and the ritual of drama, the dramatic action in social movement actions (ie. marches, protests). We will work on movement, vocal production—both spoken and sung, oral interpretation of written texts (Poetry and Prose of Audre Lorde, Rilke, Kabir, Sonia Sanchez, students' writings, Howell Raines' My Soul is Rested, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Bible, Winnie the Pooh, and James Baldwin) and improvisational theater techniques to build discrete pieces that can be used in worship and/or actions. Students will gain confidence and new freedom being in front of a congregation /audience/ mass rally. They'll find ways to allow the performing arts to crack open their work as liturgists /ceremonialists /ritualists and cultural workers, and create liberative worship experiences and dynamic social actions. Prior experience with preaching text study or ritual or performance studies is helpful.

The "Allergy to the Other"
9:40 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Thursday
Gabriella Lettini
This advanced course will explore the claim that Western culture is characterized by an inability to think of the other as other, a tendency to erase otherness either by assimilation or by annihilation, which Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas—referring to the Western philosophical tradition—aptly defined as "allergy to the other." Using Levinas' critique of the totalitarian aspects of Western thought as a starting point, this course will analyze how Western modern theo/alogies have reinforced or challenged the "allergy to the other." The authors analyzed are chosen for the prominence that issues surrounding otherness have in their work and represent a variety of perspectives, addressing issues such as race, class, gender, sexuality, abilities and religious, cultural and ethnic diversity. Selected philosophical writings will be engaged, as patterns of identity construction and paradigms for non-hegemonic attitudes to otherness are explored. Cinematic representations of the "other" will also enrich our work.

While watching compulsaries recently i was curious what levels different spirals had.
Like does Y spiral get a higher degree then a "chinese" sprial (grabbing opposit hand and leg?
Individual spiral positions never had levels. Either they were considered "difficult variations" or they weren't.
Both the variations you mentioned could have been considered difficult if performed according to the definitions.
Spiral sequences no longer have levels under IJS and never did in 6.0 judging.
So don't worry about the difficulty. Under the current rules it's best just do positions that look good on your body and allow you to sustain a secure edge.
Simple and to the point!! Thank you so much!!
Gkelly is right. Now that there are no longer difficulty levels in spirals, the most important things in a spiral are speed, stability, staying on the edge (holding a true inside edge or outside edge without going on a flat or scraping), and extension--i.e., how stretched the position is, how straight both knees are, and how pointed the toes are.
Spirals don't get counted as individual elements any more. They are part of choreographic sequences. The ladies have to include one in the sequence but it only has to last for "a moment".
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
Senior ladies. At lower levels, they're just transitions.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
Ever since they announced this change, though, I, too, have been wondering about the choreo step button. The choreo step doesn't even exist on the Scale of Values, so I have to assume there will be a separate notification released for adults that will specify how the choreo step will be scored.
Last edited by daisies; 08-28-2012 at 06:30 PM. Reason: Clarifying that the rule change is for Gold and Masters only.
Either way, though, you never would have gotten credit for both, even under the old rules when it was a spiral or step sequence. You get credit for the first, and the second just counts as transitions. So it seems like the point might be moot.
This just doesn't make sense. My spirals cover about half the ice but that's only as filler between two spread-out jump placements. The footwork sequence is full-ice and really difficult. I don't see why the spirals would cross out the footwork.
It is illogical that in order to get credit for the footwork, I have to just skate from one end of the ice to the other, instead of doing spirals, because they come before the footwork. If there's a footwork sequence then any spirals should count as transitions, IMO.
Quite a bit of IJS is illogical for us - because they are trying to take rules made for elite skaters and make them work for adults, and we have different needs and requirements.
I actually asked my coach about this last week and she said the spirals before footwork would count as transitions. But I'm not sure if she's aware of the recent developments, even though she just went to the recent PSA event. Troubling.
Sometimes when the committee makes these changes it just looks like busy-work to justify their existence.
What is confusing about this is that, for example, you can only do two tries of a toe loop, and one has to be in combo. So they're saying with choreo, you can choose either a spiral or a step sequence. However, a spiral and a step sequence are completely different animals that serve different choreo purposes. So it's not really like performing two of the same jump.
You can do spirals as transitions til the cows come home, but if you make them into a sequence, you potentially risk having them called as a choreo sequence (based on the vague description of said sequence -- I'm not sure if it would actually be counted that way). And, again, a sequence is a full-ice thing, not just a transition into a jump.
Btw, one of the reasons behind the original choice between the spirals and the steps is that not all adults can do spirals, especially as they get older.
I meant to add this before ... you mentioned the difficulty of your footwork sequence. Now that step sequences are choreo and not leveled, judges aren't evaluating their difficulty. They are only evaluating the following for GOE:
1) good energy and execution
2) good speed or acceleration during sequence
3) good clarity and precision
4) deep clean edges (including entry and exit of all turns)
5) good control and commitment of whole body to accuracy of steps
6) creativity and originality
7) effortless throughout
8) element matched to the musical structure
Just FYI!
"Choreographic Sequences consist of any kind of movements such as steps, turns, spirals, arabesques, spread eagles, Ina Bauers, hydroblading, transitional (unlisted) jumps, spinning movements etc. A Choreographic Sequence for Ladies/Pairs must include at least one spiral (not a kick) of any length (by both partners for Pairs). The Sequence commences with the first move and is concluded with the last move of the skater. The pattern is not restricted, but the Sequence must fully utilize the ice surface. If this requirement is not fulfilled, the Sequence will have no value. The Choreographic Sequence is included in Free Skating and for Singles has to be performed after the step sequence. The Choreographic Sequence has a base value and will be evaluated by the judges in GOE only."
A choice makes sense but the way the rule is written sounds like, if spiral is performed before footwork, the spiral only counts as transition. So I might be ok in this particular case.Btw, one of the reasons behind the original choice between the spirals and the steps is that not all adults can do spirals, especially as they get older.
U.S. Juvenile and Intermediate skaters have a required choreo step sequence (step sequence with no levels of difficulty) and I'm pretty sure it's 2.0 points, the same base value as the choreo sequence. Wish I could find a Juvenile or Intermediate IJS scoresheet to confirm that. . . But anyway, that would be the basis of the scoring for the adult choreo step and choreo sequence as well.

Bob Marley Wished For More African American Fans
Bob Marley's son Ziggy has revealed that the reggae legend wanted his music to be reached out to more Black American fans. Even though Marley was influenced by American rhythm and blues artists, his own music was slow to catch on with African-Americans during his lifetime. A scene from the new documentary, 'Marley,' shows an all-white crowd gathered to watch Marley perform in the US in the late 1970s. "He had issue with it, because he wanted African-Americans to hear his message," ABC News quoted Ziggy as telling 'Nightline.' Marley's children, band mates, widow and ex-girlfriends help tell his story in the mammoth documentary covering the legendary artist's humble beginnings in Jamaica and rise to become reggae's first and biggest international superstar.
Bob Marley Documentary Now On Dvd
Iconic reggae superstar Bob Marley's too-brief life is chronicled in this documentary lovefest. Though he died from cancer at age 36 in 1981, his music and his influence live on. Loaded with rare footage, performances and interviews, the 2012 film also discusses Marley's infidelities, even though it's made with his family's cooperation. It's directed by Kevin Macdonald, best known for his dramas "The Last King of Scotland" and "State of Play." Macdonald set out to make a film that would inform the Marley children and grandchildren about Bob's life, which led to Billboard posing the question to Ziggy Marley about which stories he had never heard. One concerned his father's concern about his fair skin, the other about the song "Small Axe," which has long been seen as a song about taking down corrupt governments. In reality, it was about specific people in the Jamaican music industry. PG-13, 145 minutes. Extras: interviews, photos and director commentary. From Magnolia Home Entertainment. Released Aug. 7.
Another Lifetime Achievement Award For Bob
A new Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for Bob Marley was presented to the late reggae singer's eldest son Ziggy and daughter Karen last night. The event took place immediately after a Recording Academy screening of the feature film documentary Marley, which was held in Hollywood at the Los Angeles Film School on Sunset Boulevard. The award was a replacement for the statue that had been awarded to Marley posthumously in 2001, as part of the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards. The backstory began when members of The Recording Academy were visiting Jamaica, and they saw that the award had been damaged. Last night's presentation was a surprise. Five-time Grammy Award winner Ziggy beamed when the replacement was handed to him.
Bob Marley A Reggae Super Hero
Robert Nesta Marley is the most famous figure this country has produced. (Though Usain Bolt might be usurping him in places like China and India.) Mention Jamaica, and foreigners who scarcely know in which hemisphere the country is located will cry in recognition, "Bob Marley!" He is increasingly becoming to Jamaica what Robert Burns is to Scotland - most famous son, national bard, and symbol of cultural identity. The parallels between the two great Roberts are uncanny. Both were born to humble circumstances in a small country with a few million inhabitants. Both were free spirits who praised the intoxicating pleasures of ganja and whisky respectively.
Thirty Minutes with Damian Marley
Where are you?
I'm in Miami at the moment. It's about 5pm. I'm just rising. I record all night and sleep all day. It started because you're excited about the music and you want to stay up longer, but over 15 years it's become a habit. In my circle I think a lot of musicians operate like this. When the place is quiet you're more creative. I have plenty of people I can call at 4am and know they'll be up. The Marleys had a family base here even before I was born, but everyone's developed families now and my brothers and sisters live in the surrounding blocks from me. It's become a home away from Jamaica.
Movie review: A Fitting Tribute To Reggae Star
The Royal Family Loves Reggae
Prince Charles may have had the Bob Marley song, Lively Up Yourself, on his mind during his last two trips to Jamaica. The heir to the British throne certainly soaked up the reggae culture while visiting in 2000 and 2008.
Charles donned a Rasta tam and attempted some reggae moves while touring sections of Marley's old stomping ground, Trench Town, in February 2000.
What Is Reggae And Where Did It Come From?
Reggae is a complex Afro-Jamaican twentieth-century musical phenomenon that has profoundly influenced global popular musical culture. As a genre of modern black cultural production, reggae music dates from the 1970s, when it emerged from the musical confluence of ska and rock steady, two forms born in early postcolonial Jamaica. As a cultural practice in Jamaican postcolonial society, reggae was closely tied to subaltern representations of slavery, colonialism, history, and Africa. As a consequence in many instances reggae became a counter-hegemonic practice critiquing the formal Jamaican Creole nationalist project of political independence.
Ska was a 1960s musical synthesis that ruptured the Jamaican musical form known as mento, which emerged from the encounter between European colonialism, racial plantation slavery, and the slave African population. Mento adapted and morphed the harmonic structures, instrumentation, and melodies of European musical styles into indigenous sounds.
Who Is Bob Marley, From The People Who Knew Him Best
Bob Marley was a hero figure, in the classic mythological sense. His departure from this planet came at a point when his vision of One World, One Love -- inspired by his belief in Rastafari -- was beginning to be heard and felt. The last Bob Marley and the Wailers tour in 1980 attracted the largest audiences at that time for any musical act in Europe.
Bob's story is that of an archetype, which is why it continues to have such a powerful and ever-growing resonance: it embodies political repression, metaphysical and artistic insights, gangland warfare and various periods of mystical wilderness. And his audience continues to widen: to westerners Bob's apocalyptic truths prove inspirational and life-changing; in the Third World his impact goes much further. Not just among Jamaicans, but also the Hopi Indians of New Mexico and the Maoris of New Zealand,
Bob Marley Celebrates A Birthday
The Legendary Reggae Star Would Have Turned 66 on February 6th. Radio Specials, Streaming Parties, Video Premieres and more planned Bob Marley was born on February 6th, 1945. The legendary reggae star, best known for such exceptional hits as "Could You Be Loved," "One Love" and "Three Little Birds" would have celebrated his 66th birthday this year.
Universal Music Enterprises and Tuff Gong Records team up to present Bob Marley & The Wailers – Live Forever: The Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA, September 23, 1980. This never before released 2 CD concert was recorded 30 years ago while Bob was touring in support of his famed album, Uprising. Live Forever features many of Bob's most cherished songs.
