Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (8 March 1714 – 14 December 1788) was a German Classical period musician and composer, the fifth child and second (surviving) son of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach. His second name was given in honor of his godfather Georg Philipp Telemann, a friend of Emanuel's father.
Emanuel Bach was an influential composer working at a time of transition between his father's baroque style and the classical and romantic styles that followed it. His personal approach, an expressive and often turbulent one known as empfindsamer Stil or 'sensitive style', applied the principles of rhetoric and drama to musical structures. Bach's dynamism stands in deliberate contrast to the more mannered rococo style also then in vogue.[1]
Life and works[edit]
Early years: 1714–1738[edit]
Emanuel Bach was born in Weimar in 1714 to Johann Sebastian Bach and his first wife, Maria Barbara. The composer Georg Philipp Telemann was his godfather. When he was ten years old he entered the St. Thomas School at Leipzig, where his father had become cantor in 1723. He was one of four Bach children to become professional musicians; all four were trained in music almost entirely by their father. In an age of royal patronage, father and son alike knew that a university education helped prevent a professional musician from being treated as a servant. Emanuel, like his brothers, pursued advanced studies in jurisprudence at the University of Leipzig (1731). He continued further study of law at Frankfurt (Oder) (1735). In 1738, at the age of 24, he obtained his degree. He turned his attention at once to music.[2]
Berlin years: 1738–1768[edit]
A few months after graduation Bach, armed with a recommendation by Sylvius Leopold Weiss, obtained an appointment in the service of Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia, the future Frederick the Great. Upon Frederick's accession in 1740 Emanuel became a member of the royal orchestra. He was by this time one of the foremost clavier-players in Europe, and his compositions, which date from 1731, include about thirty sonatas and concert pieces for harpsichord and clavichord. During his time there, Berlin was a rich artistic environment, where Bach mixed with many accomplished musicians, including several notable former students of his father, and important literary figures, such as Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, with whom the composer would become close friends.
In Berlin, Bach continued to write numerous pieces for solo keyboard, including a series of character pieces, the so-called "Berlin Portraits", including La Caroline. His reputation was established by the two published sets of sonatas which he dedicated respectively to Frederick the Great and to the grand duke of Württemberg. In 1746 he was promoted to the post of chamber musician, and served the king alongside colleagues like Carl Heinrich Graun, Johann Joachim Quantz, and Franz Benda.
The composer who most influenced Bach's maturing style was unquestionably his father Sebastian. He drew creative inspiration from his godfather Georg Philipp Telemann, then working in Hamburg, and from contemporaries like George Frideric Handel, Carl Heinrich Graun and Joseph Haydn. Bach's interest in all types of art led to influence from poets, playwrights and philosophers such as Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, Moses Mendelssohn and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Emanuel Bach's work itself influenced the work of, among others, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn.
During his residence in Berlin, Bach composed a fine setting of the Magnificat (1749), in which he shows more traces than usual of his father's influence; an Easter cantata (1756); several symphonies and concerted works; at least three volumes of songs; and a few secular cantatas and other occasional pieces. But his main work was concentrated on the clavier, for which he composed, at this time, nearly two hundred sonatas and other solos, including the set Mit veränderten Reprisen (1760–1768) and a few of those für Kenner und Liebhaber.
While in Berlin Bach placed himself in the forefront of European music with a treatise, Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen (An Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments). Immediately recognised as a definitive work on keyboard technique, by 1780 the book was in its third edition and laid the foundation for the keyboard methods of Muzio Clementi and Johann Baptist Cramer. In it, Bach broke with tradition in allowing, even encouraging, the use of the thumbs. Since his time this has been standard technique for keyboard instruments. The essay lays out the fingering for each chord and some chord sequences. Bach's techniques continue to be employed today. The first part of the Essay contains a chapter explaining the various embellishments in work of the period, e.g., trills, turns, mordents, etc. The second part presents Emanuel Bach's ideas on the art of figured bass and counterpoint, where he gives preference to the contrapuntal approach to harmonization over the newer ideas of Rameau's theory of harmony and root progressions.
Hamburg: 1768–1788[edit]
In 1768 Emanuel Bach succeeded his godfather Georg Philipp Telemann as director of music at Hamburg. Upon his release from service at the court he was named court composer for Frederick's sister, Princess Anna Amalia. The title was honorary, but her patronage and interest in the oratorio genre may have played a role in nurturing the ambitious choral works that followed.[3]
Bach began to turn more of his energies to choral music in his new position. The job required the steady production of music for Protestant church services at the Michaeliskirche (Church of St. Michael) and elsewhere in Hamburg. The following year he produced his oratorio Die Israeliten in der Wüste (The Israelites in the Desert), a composition remarkable not only for its great beauty but for the resemblance of its plan to that of Felix Mendelssohn's Elijah. Between 1768 and 1788 he wrote twenty-one settings of the Passion, and some seventy cantatas, litanies, motets, and other liturgical pieces. In Hamburg he also presented a number of works by contemporaries, including his father, Telemann, Graun, Handel, Haydn, Salieri and Johann David Holland.[4] Bach's choral output reached its apex in two works: the double chorus Heilig (Holy, Holy, Holy) of 1776, a setting of the seraph song from the throne scene in Isaiah, and the grand cantata Die Auferstehung Jesu (The Resurrection of Jesus) of 1774–1782, which sets a poetic Gospel harmonization by the poet Karl Wilhelm Ramler (1725–1798). Widespread admiration of Auferstehung led to three 1788 performances in Vienna sponsored by the Baron Gottfried van Swieten and conducted by Mozart.[5]
Emanuel Bach married Johanna Maria Dannemann in 1744. Only three of their children lived to adulthood – Johann Adam (1745–89), Anna Carolina Philippina (1747–1804) and Johann Sebastian "the Younger" (1748–78). None became musicians and Johann Sebastian, a promising painter, died in his late twenties during a 1778 trip to Italy.[6] Emanuel Bach died in Hamburg on 14 December 1788. He was buried in the Michaeliskirche (Church of St. Michael) in Hamburg.
Legacy and musical style[edit]
Through the later half of the 18th century, the reputation of Emanuel Bach stood very high. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart said of him, "He is the father, we are the children."[7] The best part of Joseph Haydn's training was derived from a study of his work. Ludwig van Beethoven expressed for his genius the most cordial admiration and regard.[citation needed] His keyboard sonatas, for example, mark an important epoch in the history of musical form. Lucid in style, delicate and tender in expression, they are even more notable for the freedom and variety of their structural design; they break away altogether from both the Italian and the Viennese schools, moving instead toward the cyclical and improvisatory forms that would become common several generations later.
The content of his work is full of invention and, most importantly, extreme unpredictability, and wide emotional range even within a single work, a style that may be categorized as Empfindsamer Stil. It is no less sincere in thought than polished and felicitous in phrase. He was probably the first composer of eminence who made free use of harmonic colour for its own sake since the time of Lassus, Monteverdi, and Gesualdo.[citation needed] In this way, he compares well with the most important representatives of the First Viennese School. In fact he exerted enormous influence on the North German School of composers, in particular Georg Anton Benda, Bernhard Joachim Hagen, Ernst Wilhelm Wolf, Johann Gottfried Müthel, Friedrich Wilhelm Rust and many others. His influence was not limited to his contemporaries, and extended to Felix Mendelssohn and Carl Maria von Weber.
His name fell into neglect during the 19th century, with Robert Schumann notoriously opining that "as a creative musician he remained very far behind his father";[8] in contrast, Johannes Brahms held him in high regard and edited some of his music. The revival of Emanuel Bach's works has been underway since Helmuth Koch's rediscovery and recording of his symphonies in the 1960s, and Hugo Ruf's recordings of his keyboard sonatas. There is an ongoing project to record his complete works, led by Miklos Spanyi on the Swedish record label BIS.
The works of C.P.E. Bach are known by "Wq" numbers, from Alfred Wotquenne's catalogue (1906) and by "H" numbers from a catalogue by Eugene Helm (1989).
He was portrayed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner in the 1941 biopic of his brother Friedemann Bach.
Anniversary Year 2014[edit]
2014 marks the 300th anniversary of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. All six German Bach cities Hamburg, Potsdam, Berlin, Frankfurt (Oder), Leipzig and Weimar are hosting a variety of events from concerts to other activities in honor of this anniversary.[9]

Glasgow Daily Times
BOWLING GREEN — According to a dispatch log used in defense attorneys' opening arguments Tuesday morning during the trial against Barren County Sheriff Chris Eaton, deputy Aaron Bennett and Barren-Edmonson Drug Task Force detective Eric Guffey, one minute and 13 seconds is the entire length of time between the moment Eaton began a foot pursuit of Billy Randall Stinnett on Feb. 24, 2010, to the moment another officer reported Stinnett was being escorted to a police cruiser after the arrest.
In order to convince a jury that Stinnett suffered the alleged brutal beating at the center of deprivation of rights, false statement and cover up charges filed against the three defendants, Eaton's attorney J. Guthrie True said the government has to "stretch the timeline." Not only have lawyers and FBI agents had three years to pull apart and criticize the defendants' minute and 13 seconds of law enforcement action, but True said that a minute and 13 seconds was not enough time for there to be a case of unreasonable force on the scale the government is alleging.
True, Brian Butler, counsel for Guffey, Buddy Aelxander, counsel for Bennett, and U.S. Department of Justice civil rights prosecuting attorney Sanjay Patel spent Tuesday morning's court session delivering opening arguments to the jury in a U.S. District Court Western District of Kentucky courtroom in Bowling Green.
Patel, who presented the prosecution's argument on behalf of himself and Roy Conn III, painted a dramatic picture of a group of teenage praise band members watching a violent crime committed by law enforcement officers outside their church window on a Wednesday evening in 2010.
"What Kaylee [Billingsley] and her friends saw that day was an image that they will never be able to erase from their minds," Patel said.
Billingsley and other teenagers saw a group of law enforcement officers beat a handcuffed, nonresistant Stinnett, according to the prosecution's allegations, and the government's witnesses will corroborate that story throughout the trial.
As defense attorneys of individual clients facing individual charges, Guthrie, Butler and Alexander took turns poking holes in the government's case and the FBI's investigative process as a whole, but also reminding the jury that their client didn't necessarily do the same thing as another defendant or witness. Guffey, Butler argued, was not in a brown uniform like officers described by the teenage witnesses, and after handcuffing Stinnett, Guffey left the immediate scene to try to move his truck. Neither Guffey nor Bennett were carrying an asp baton, both their attorneys said, so they could not be responsible for the baton marks on Stinnett's body.
Initially facing off against Stinnett one-on-one, Eaton was scared and only used the force he considered necessary to subdue a dangerous criminal, True said in his defense of Eaton's actions as a law enforcement officer.
Jurors have not yet seen any evidence in the case, as information and exhibits given by attorneys during opening arguments are not legally considered evidence. However, each defense attorney argued that at the end of the trial, the evidence will show that none of the defendants did anything outside their duties as law enforcement officers.
"The evidence is going to show that there was only one guilty party out there that day, and it was Billy Randall Stinnett," True said.

I write about enterprise innovation.
The new James Bond Movie, Skyfall has got most people who've seen it talking – it's the best movie ever, full stop, my ticket seller told me. Well, it's the best action movie I've seen in a few years. It was the top grossing movie in all 25 countries where it opened this weekend.
And in Adele it has a singer at the top of her popularity. There are many such well judged decisions around the film.
In the UK alone it scored $32.4 million compared with Argo, in the USA, at $12.3. Skyfall was the second strongest UK opening ever (behind Harry Potter). I was watching at a 10.00 am Sunday suburban showing and it was full.
Takings in the UK are up 70% on the last Bond movie.
Twitter sentiment is about 3:1 positive to negative, for James Bond and more than 4:1 positive for Skyfall, a small suggestion that this is a very well liked version in the franchise. Overall social media sentiment is just about in line with that for James Bond (I used veooz.com to check) and for Skyfall (just 4:1).
The question in my mind is a complex one. The movie is incredibly English – in fact at one point Bond (Daniel Craig) announces himself, English, and strains not to add "and proud of it," even though the climax of the film is in Scotland, where Bond was brought up.
So how come English, or indeed Britishness because this is not only about England, is selling around the world?
The movie is almost wholly set in London (yes, there are exotic locations but they are irrelevant to the plot) and a good deal of it underground.
Veooz gave me this comment from all the thousands out there and I think it sums up the movie's strengths:
"The plot is bit Rockyesque and childish but it pulls it off. Not a particularly beefy bond movie in terms of script but this is made up for by some of the best acting seen in a bond movie of all time."
The acting in fact is hampered by some bad scripting – several times in the film the actors are forced to act as though there is a surge of sexual innuendo at work between them, when in fact there's just poor writing that lacks connectivity.
But what is really getting Bond its great social media coverage is also the very astute product placement and the movie's engagement with the broader, traditional media.
For example, women's magazine, Marie Claire, in the UK, has a best Bond girls ever feature (there are many of those around), there are tweets about Craig's customized Barbour in the Scottish scenes, the use of Heineken beer (Bond has a John Lennon style lost weekend simply so that he can drink lager for once), the use of a Jaguar (last time out Bond drove a BMW), and there's a marketing push from Sony – the movie uses its laptops and devices (when all the best movies have Apple).
Sony had its global, social media push behind Skyfall, as did Heineken and Coca Cola (though this gets no lift from the movie) – here is a short run down at this link.
The true strength of the movie might be its opening sequence but the problem it will encounter in the USA is that these characters are simply too British, the plot we are asked to care about too wrapped up in British sentiment, particularly around actress Judi Dench.
It is mawkish and it attempts to resurrect an appeal in a type of Britishness that the 1960s laid to rest but which Bond has been giving moth-to-mouth ever since, never more so than here. My feeling is that social media in American will work against it – social is a global culture and I doubt it will go for a ring-fenced film.
It will be a miracle if the movie pulls off a record performance in the USA, despite what looks like solid brands behind it, which let's also be honest are not that appealing to a US audience either.
I see. So, America can't cope with anything that isn't to do with the United States (or American patriotism), but yet the rest of the world is force fed these same American movies, and expected to gawp over them and love them?
God, Americans are so full of themselves. Learn to take in other country's cultures for once.
At the age of 54 I have grown up in the UK and I,like all my genereation,have been subjected to jingoistic, American patriotism via Hollywood and TV ad nauseam.I am not complaining in fact I love most things American ,but for once we produce a British film ,based on a British character,by a British writer and you have the temerity to complain that its patriotic!How hypocritical can you get!For once just see it for what it is and don't turn your nose up because its not got any US characters or actors.Its a very good film ,as you admit si just enjoy it.Sniping is not a very attractive characteristic,or is it actually a little jealousy?I don't expect it to be a massive US hit, but I think enough of your fellow citizens are capable of looking beyond your borders now and will actually enjoy a very good action movie, with great acting and a decent storyline.
I disagree that it would be a miracle if the film is a success in the USA.
You say social is a global culture yet the english language predominates it. Most people of a certain fiscal class around the world still go to work in suit and tie reminescent of the age of the British empire.
British culture , the culture stemming from the british empire is the most lasting of all european cultures and has a place wherever the sun has set.
And, the USA has always been the child of britain and france.
:) fair enough
In the last 20 years, I have been working and studying in the UK. I have to admit this is a very good glance of the mentality and attitude that Britains sometimes have. However, I think they have some mental style and strength, I would be happy to see more Germans showing it for their country and achievements.
PS: Thank you for the mention!
Haydn good article, just wondering what do you think is the future for European products and being mainstream in America, and the same goes for American products being popular overseas, primarily Europe and Asia. For example Skyfall and Adele, and for American Eminem and The Campaign film?
Also with the recent Gangnam music video almost peeking 1 billion viewers
( http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2012/10/28/simple-statistics-gangnam-style-will-be-first-video-to-hit-1-billion-views/ )
What do you believe is the best way for American artists, to achieve that altitude of views, I saw from that article Jennifer Lopez and Bieber are 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Thank you and have a Terrific Tues
Although I haven't yet seen the movie, I wonder if the criticism is misplaced. Having seen the dreadful Mission Impossible 3, I rather like the idea of a movie that doesn't feel it has to give me a global tour, but more than that London is one of the few truly global cities (along, perhaps, with NY) so it hardly stands for anything parochial. And Britishness didn't hurt Harry Potter, so why should it hurt Bond. It's true that the US is immune to anything but its own self-regard (as the increasingly bombastic and nauseatingly special-effects-laden movies like Battleship attest), but equally the American market is growing less critical to the fortunes of movies as other markets grow in importance. I'm not sure it matters, ultimately, whether this Bond beats previous records here, so long as it does on a global scale. After 50 years, there's life in 007 yet.
No MrShaugnesy what you actually said was that you were "brought up in England ",you did not say you we're not an American . YOu have now changed your view as well and its jingoism not patriotism,perhaps yo could make up your mind? Given your name most would suspect you are of Irish decent ,which says it all when it comes to your comments on here ,full of undisguised bile and lacking in any coherent argue meant.As I said before what is wrong with patriotism ,its a very strong theme in many cultures (the Irish are full of it)If you are not Irish or American perhaps you can declare your allegiances so we can all see exactly where you are coming from,or will you have to kill me if you reveal that information? Aaron does make some very valid points I agree but ,why are they any different to mine,I would love to know?
Well at least it's not full of American self importance,which makes a change don't you think?The USA is the greatest country in the world according to those involved in your recent election process ad nauseam,wonder what you will make of Argo?
Seems like most American audiences were not put off by the British patriotism and jingoism, so despised by some,as the US box office opens with a record (for Bond) of $88.00 m! BRits win …. For once,just like john Wayne,Lol
I quote you, it will be a miracle if the film performs recordly.
as i said, anglophilia is large in the USA. I think you see multiculturalism's role and definition incorrectly with the modern audience
Despite all the so called "jingoism" ,a trait confined to the British according to some,it seems American audiences ,like the rest of the world ,has embraced this film. Of course those with certain prejudices will never accept that Bond films have always been patriotic ,they were about our Secret Service,and that this is part of the fun? We Brits have always been good at poking fun at ourselves,but some never seem to quite get it! Toodle pip old boy!

Adopt a Prospect #4: Movin' On Up
by, 07-01-2012 at 01:51 PM (819 Views)
Wonder of Wonder, Miracle of Miracles! Luis Perdomo's beard (and Luis Perdomo) got promoted to Rochester this week! (Ed. Note: Sorry for the unintentional mash-up of the Jefferson's theme and a Fiddler on the Roof ditty...hmm, I wonder if I could sell that to Glee?)
This is the first time Perdomo's beard has played this high up on the East Coast since he made his major league debut against the New York Mets! (4/15/09). And thought he temptation to celebrate is great, clearly Perdomo's beard won't rest until it attains that lofty perch of being the most feared set of facial follicles in the major leagues.
So he will toil along side other players with former big league experience. No longer will he be the sage old timer in the bullpen, impressing the young whelps with stories of his time in the show (where you hit white balls for batting practice and the women all have long legs and brains) now he'll be part of a staff where the vast majority have played in the bigs (many, recently).
To be sure, there's still a challenge here, though Luis Perdomo's beard is far more glorious than say...Darrin Mastroianni's Mr. Tumnus style goatee and worthy of the big time, the beard is stubbornly attached to a reliever in an organization that stockpiles them like separatist militias stockpile ammo/canned goods. The man who owns Luis Perdomo's beard (one...Luis Perdomo) is not on the 40 man roster, something that is unlikely to change until a mess of trades, releases and/or bubonic plague deaths make it possible. And, most challenging of all...Luis Perdomo was called up to AAA only after 7 Rochester pitchers hit the disabled list. If any one of those pitchers comes back, it might be a very short stay indeed for Perdomo and his beard.
But let's not spoil this with cynicism or "facts", the truth is that Luis Perdomo's beard is one step closer to making it back to the major leagues. After battling, fighting and holding fast to that fervent dream of a return to glory, he's moved closer this week. And no matter how long the odds or how questionable the circumstances are, it's great to see a great bit of facial hair (and a dedicated player) keep living their dream.

Jacoba Urist, Contributor
I write about financial, legal and health news for parents.
When I was pregnant, almost every nurse, doctor or lab technician asked me the same question: so you guys aren't finding out the gender, huh? To which, I replied the same way to each medical professional: well, there's no way to know, is there?
Without fail, the person always looked at me like I'd landed from Mars. But I stuck to my guns: until there's an ultrasound that can detect a teeny-tiny Barbie house or Thomas The Tank Engine inside a woman's womb, no parent or doctor on earth can determine the gender of any baby (at least, not until he or she is much older, and then, it might still be a pretty difficult assessment).
Many folks make this mistake. They confuse sex (anatomy, which we can detect in the womb) and gender (a social construction, think "masculinity" and "femininity," which we can not)— especially when it comes to young children.
And many parents will go way out of their way to police the gender boundaries for their own kids and even kids they've never met before.
Just ask Mallory May. Yesterday, the Manhattan mother and her three-year-old son, Oscar were photographed by Brandon Stanton, a local blogger who runs Humans of New York, a site that describes itself as a photographic census of the city— and boy did the picture set off a firestorm of Facebook controversy. There was little Oscar, prancing around his neighborhood, proudly dressed in one of his brand new Halloween costumes: a princess.
Within hours, the picture generated hundreds of comments (twenty four hours later, it tops a thousand), some of which accused May of being a bad mother for letting her son buy a "girl's" costume. Others argued that she was trying to make a political statement at the expense of her child's welfare.
"I'm sorry," one commenter wrote. "But I would not let my little boy wear this. This is where mothers have to step in, and do their job right. It's not to confuse children about their sexual orientation and other LGBT topics that [they deem] are appropriate."
Another posted: "There is a very distinct difference between boys and girl. Raise boys to be men!"
The irony is that May actually purchased two costumes yesterday. Like every three-year old, Oscar couldn't make up his mind and asked for the controversial princess get-up and a more gender-traditional super hero one. This morning, he told his mother, "Since I wore the other costume yesterday, I want to wear this today." Which is exactly what he did, on their way to the bagel shop.
"To me, limiting costume options based on gender just seems silly, and actually a little cruel at his age," May says. "I really do think it would be more confusing to limit choices for a toddler. I was just having fun play with my little boy, indulging him in the magic years, which is what childhood should be about."
And those magic years do go by in the blink of an eye. Before parents know it, for better or worse, their children's peers will be policing the gender boundaries for them. Dr. Alexandra Spessot, a psychiatrist in Durham, North Carolina, and mother to a little boy and a little girl, explains that having this early time of gender fluidity is important for youngsters.
"I don't think it's wise to push gender identity on little kids. They'll come to it on their own," she emailed Forbes. "For the longest time, my son wanted a girl's bike for Christmas—the one with the purple and pink tassels on it. We actually purchased the bike, when at the last minute, he changed his mind and asked for a boy's bike. We still don't know what changed his mind, but we had no problem buying the pink one."
It turns out, teaching your kid how to cross traditional gender lines could be better for him in the long run. Showing boys that there isn't one way to "be a man" may, in fact, be an invaluable lesson as he enters a world of new economic realities— where the same kinds of "male jobs" don't exist anymore and if they do, aren't necessarily a clear-cut path to long-term stability or upward mobility.
As Hanna Rosin describes in her new book, The End of Men And The Rise Of Women, men who've remained rigid and "cardboard" in their traditional, breadwinning roles, haven't fared as well as women who adapt more easily, and now, in many cases, surpass their spouses in the new social and economic order.
So buying your little boy that princess costume? Might just be one of the smartest things you do for him this Halloween.
When I went to the Humans of NY page and there was a pic of an adorable little girl about the same age in a Spider Man mask and the caption is "she doesn't like princesses." I don't think the Facebookiverse freaked out about her mom ruining her for life or making her a lesbian or using her as a political statement. How are his fairy wings any different? Why should girls be allowed to explore the fluidity of gender roles, but not boys. This boggles my mind and would certainly confuse my 3 year old son who insists that I paint his nails when I paint mine.
First off. There is a double standard and always will be as long as women and men are different. Get use to it. It's the way life has evolved to function.
Second, it's okay to look stronger but not to appear weaker. It's embedded in our brain and system. Girls can aspire to be tougher, because it means they can survive, but one day will be subject to the authority of a man that is stronger for protection. This means their seed will be stronger and more able to survive.
Boys can never be softer because they will be dominated. Soft men have weak seed and they fade out.
Just plain science.
Good on you! Purple was my favourite colour as a boy and I loved to play house. I never squirmed or felt ashamed wearing makeup like so many other boys did when I acted in the school plays. I loved cheesy pop dance music and "girlie" love songs. I wasn't a feminine child or anything (I loved playing with my trucks and cars too, and had many other stereotypical masculine interests/traits), it was just that superficial gender roles didn't make sense to me. I don't know how I escaped the social pressure to think, otherwise but I'm very glad I did. I am certainly not one of those men who would shun a career because more women were in the field. I've always had good verbal skills (as women are supposed to) and it would depress me to work in a profession that was too cold or impersonal (bluntly, the sorts of fields men are supposed to prefer, at least from what I gather). I find people interesting…I don't know, I am one! With this becoming increasingly important in the business world, developing these skills seems like a no-brainer.
I'm not saying there aren't any inherent differences between the genders (on average). I'm not saying that women aren't more talented than men at many things (on average). I just think people should have the right to do what they want without being ashamed or held back because "real men don't do that". It's about freedom for me. We deserve the same freedom of expression/career choice that women do (and vice versa). I find it sad and perplexing that it's mostly *men* who insist that all these social limitations on our sex be preserved, especially when it hurts us as a gender. But then, what do I know?
If there is some sort of biological glass ceiling that these men hit, fine. If a man doesn't want to do stereotypical female things (as long as it is because he just doesn't want to do those things, and not *because* they are stereotypically feminine), fine. But a social glass ceiling should certainly not be imposed. Not if men want the best possible lives for themselves.
I learned a long time that social science is usually short on science. First off prove gender is socially constructed–what is your infallible source besides a bunch of philosophical mambo-jumbo from academic whack jobs like Foucault. To espouse that gender and sex aren't interrelated proves you bought the BIG LIE. The whole article is submerged in the realm of the subjective. Secondly, when little miss prissy decides he wants to have a baby, he might find the whole gestation thing a wee bit of a problem. But my comment won't change someone who is that far gone, so keep arguing the ridiculous and ignoring the obvious, but please keep your kid away from mine
What an absurd load of rubbish!! Is there anything more ridiculous than these moronic modernists who are always trying to reshape society by continually challenging societal norms? They like to think themselves so heroic for being rebellious, and how often does it come at the expense of thier children.
I am sad for this mother. She is very confused and now she is raising a child that will be confused. She has zero grounding in reality.
No matter how many times you say differently a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl.
A duck is not a rabbit and a frog is not an elephant. Can we please just get back to sound logic that is based in reality. There are a lot bigger issues at stake and this is one that we don't need to be confused about.
This has to be the single stupidest essay I've ever read on Forbes. What you're teaching isn't just nonsense, it's dangerous nonsense.
Why not buy him a bong, some syringes, a gun, a rope, some bomb paraphernalia, a ladder, and an Al Qaeda costume while you're at it? That way he can practice all kinds of abhorrent future roles. This is the most ridiculous and uneducated "news" article I think I've ever read. For thousands of years, people have been training their children up into male and female roles according to their sex so that they fit into society and are shown the normal range of socially acceptable behavior for their sex/gender. For thousands of years, this has worked just fine across cultures, across nations, across time. Kids are imprinted with much of what they experience in their early years at home, and it directs their path as they grow. Recent psychological experimenting with kids for political purposes is only raising up a fringe generation of confused, tortured kids who will struggle all their lives trying to force others to fit them into a society that generally sees their behavior as weird and awkward, plain and simple. Shame on you for publishing this article to influence weak parents into indoctrinating their innocent kids into your gay-lesbian political regime and ruining their futures for them. Shame on you for not instead helping kids be proud of their gender, their sex, and their God-given, socially valuable manhood. Shame on you for sacrificing them to the altar of your own political desires.
This is the most ridiculous (worthy of ridicule) article I have ever seen.
With parents like this, no wonder teen suicide rates are higher than ever before. This is absolute nonsense.
This is just plain dum without the b. Seriously! What gives you the audacity to go against the logic of thousands of years of human logic and understanding of gender and gender roles? It's people like you that compromise the integrity of life's standards. Without which we would meander in utter chaos accomplishing nothing.

HIV and AIDS
HIV and AIDS have a huge impact on poverty because they affect millions of adult women and men whose work drives their countries' economies and services, and who care for the young and the old.
Why is it called a pandemic?
The statistics are mind-boggling:
- Somebody is infected with the HIV virus every eight seconds.
- Some 2.7 million people across the globe became infected with HIV in 2008, with a heavy concentration among young people (240 000- 610 000)
- Sub-Saharan Africa, which recorded 1.9 million new infections, still bears the brunt of the AIDS epidemic, with 33.4 million people living with HIV.
- Of the 2 million global deaths due to AIDS-related illnesses occurred worldwide last year, the highest number recorded occurred in Africa.
Oxfam works with people around the world who are showing leadership on HIV and AIDS. People like Nhararai in Mozambique who is a home-based carer giving vital support to communities. People like Cazu, a Brazilian actor who has become an inspiring activist on HIV and AIDS since finding he was HIV positive.
Oxfam supports partner organizations in Africa and elsewhere working in the prevention of HIV and AIDS and caring for those who are ill.
We also support local groups to lobby for the rights of those infected and affected by the disease.
Demanding access to medicines
At an international level, we continue to challenge trade organizations, governments, drug companies, and others to make decisions that will help to improve the health of millions of poor people by providing access to affordable generic medicines.
Without well trained doctors and nurses, well equipped hospitals and clinics, and the right medicines HIV will continue to spread. Leadership is needed at the highest level to overcome this global crisis.
Oxfam's strategy to respond to HIV/AIDS is based on mainstreaming HIV concerns into all programs. This means that Oxfam analyzes the impact of the disease on the affected population, and adapts its development and humanitarian programs to address this impact.

Funeral manager clocks up 40 years in the trade
12:33pm Tuesday 4th December 2012 in News
A MANAGER has been presented with a long service award after clocking up 40 years in the funeral business.
Alan Williamson began his career in 1972 working at a funeral home in Sherburn Hill, near Durham City and went on to become a funeral director in Horden.
Several promotions followed and he is now regional manager for The Co-operative Funeralcare, in charge of 29 branches across Cumbria, County Durham and Tyne and Wear and ultimately responsible for 3,400 funerals a year.
He said: "I feel incredibly lucky to have enjoyed every aspect of my job throughout the 40 years I have worked in the funeral profession, whether it was helping with funeral arrangements when I first started or looking after the entire region as I do now.
"I have worked with some wonderful colleagues and met some fantastic people, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work for The Co-operative Funeralcare for many years to come."

Oh it's been so fun photographing in my new surroundings. I'm trying to learn the light here since it's so different from South Carolina and Seattle, but it's gorgeous light. So recently, Julie from ZozoBug Baby contacted me to take some pictures of a few of her new designs, isn't the outfit below super cute?! One of my favorite color combinations! Julie is an amazing designer with such a fun variety of design and fabric styles - I love them all!
It was 103 degrees when we took these so we made this mini-session one of the quickest ever (7 minutes to be exact) -wow! As you can see in the 3rd picture below she was ready to go inside and not too happy with me. But she's a trooper and asked to do it again the following day - monsoons prevented that however. Anyway, I have many more designer spotlights to come, just trying to time them with the weather and our summer activities, can be tricky but we have a bit of a system now. Thanks for stopping by, I'll be posting more soon.

Editor's note: This is a weekly series called "Pet of the Week" where we feature a companion up for adoption from Dakota County animal rescues.
Red is an adorable 5 year old lab/hound mix that is so deserving of a family.
Red gets along great with cats! He is currently fostered in a home with several cats of all ages and doesn't bother them at all. He also loves people including kids. Red is good with other submissive dogs or would do wonderful as an only dog who gets all the attention. He sleeps in a dog bed at night and is also crate trained. Red loves to go for walks, but pulls pretty hard on the leash.
He will need some more leash training, but certainly enjoys exploring the world. Please consider Red to be part of your family.
For more information on how to adopt Red, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks for considering this sweet boy.

Some various groups of New York state citizens: violent street thugs who assault unsuspecting victims who are usually elderly or Jewish, just for starters, hundreds of thousands of indolents who are only too happy to sit on their duffs and avail themselves of every welfare benefit that exists, a small army of women who use abortion routinely as birth control, over-the-top gay rights advocates who dress as phallic symbols, scantily clad drag queens and worse in their yearly gay rights parade.
As far as I know, none of the aforementioned have ever been the subject of derogatory statements by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
I have been a lifelong resident of New York state, have always been gainfully employed and have tried to give back to the community as best I can. I am also a passionate conservative Republican. On Jan. 17, Gov. Cuomo in a speech said, "If they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York."
This is a perfect example of all that's wrong, not only in New York, but in the nation.
