@NickiMinaj Graces The Cover Of Teen Vogue
Hip-POP queen/American Idol judge Nicki Minaj appears on the June/July cover of Teen Vogue. Rocking a tutu and her platinum blonde locks, inside the magazine she opens up about everything from her rough childhood, to surviving in the music business.
Nicki Minaj On The Music Business:
"People treat this business like it's high school. It can absolutely feel like one big popularity contest, and you know what? I can't be bothered. I can't allow myself to play ridiculous games with grown adults in the industry. I can't be nice to someone just because they're hot right now. I can't do it."
Nicki Minaj On Her Rough Childhood:
"Every time my parents fought, my mother would have us move and I would have to go to a new school, which meant I'd have to face the task of making new friends. I dreaded it. I had butterflies in my stomach each time: Are people going to like or hate me? … Sometimes there'd be a fight, sometimes not. I let people know I wasn't going to be pushed around."
Nicki Minaj & Social Media:
"I used to read the bad things people said about me. Then I asked myself, 'Why am I reading that when I have millions of people saying great things?' You cannot give negativity power. I tell teens, if you're having a problem, there's nothing wrong with deleting your social media. If people keep taunting you and you keep reading it, it's poison."

With Android accounting for the majority of smartphones worldwide at the moment, it's finally also starting to become the most dominant player in apps, too.
Figures out today from analytics firm Xyologic note that Android now accounts for the majority of downloads in the U.K., Germany and Russia, and predicts that the U.S. will be the next to go Google in either March or April. This is a sea change from months past, when Apple – the early mover in apps – has always dominated in app download activity, despite the fact that it has been trailing other platforms in terms of users.
Xyologic says that this now means that Android is dominating in nine different countries in app downloads, representing a mix of advanced and still-developing markets. In addition to the U.K., Germany and Russia, Android became the dominant platform in Czech Republic, Poland and Portugal in August 2011; it took over in Brazil in October and Spain in November.
In all three markets named today, the gap between Apple and Android is fairly big: the U.K. had 90.9 million app downloads for iOS, with 99.1 million for Android. Germany saw 59.5 million app downloads for iOS and 64.9 million on Android; and Russia had 38.4 million iOS downloads with 41.9 million for Android.
In terms of which apps fare the best: Xyologic says Facebook is still dominating as the most popular app in the U.K., with 1.2 million downloads, with U.K. users in general favoring non-U.K.-specific apps. Of the top 100, in fact, only seven came from the U.K. market – within those, the Sky Sports Football app from broadcaster Sky was the most popular.
Perhaps because of the language issue, in Germany, there was more interest in local content, with 16 apps in the top 100 local apps. And in Russia even more so, with seven of the top 20 apps in Russian. Russia was the only country, in fact, that had a native-language app as the most popular download of all. It's a joke collection, "Anekdoty."
What this research doesn't point out is how many of these apps are paid versus free on each platform, and what kind of an impact that has on downloads.
Interestingly, separate research from Canalys, also out today, found that on average, Android apps cost more than iOS apps. In the U.S., it would cost $374.37 to buy the top 100 paid apps on Android (working out to $3.74 per app), compared to $147 on iOS (or $1.47 per app). Moreover, in the U.S. App Store, 82 of the top 100 paid apps cost $0.99 each, while only 22 meet that price in the Android Market.
Android is a software platform for mobile devices based on the Linux operating system and developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance. It allows developers to write managed code in Java that utilizes Google-developed software libraries, but does not support programs developed in native code. The unveiling of the Android platform on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 34 hardware, software and telecom companies devoted to advancing open standards...
iOS is Apple's operating system for their mobile devices. It debuted in 2007 with the release of the first iPhone, but has since been extended for use with the iPod touch, iPad, and Apple TV. iOS' user interface relies on users' direct manipulation of the product screen with multi-touch gestures, including swipes, pinches, taps, and reverse pinches.

The 50 Greatest Opening Title Sequences of All Time
Giving some credit to the finest opening credits ever made.
35. "Reservoir Dogs" (1992)
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Walking from a dumpy diner to a parked car has never looked so badass. Everything about "Reservoir Dogs"' titles is cool: the music — "Little Green Bag" by the George Baker Selection — the slo-mo swagger, the individual close-ups of each member of the cast, the fact that the word "ARE" flashes on the screen just before the title scrolls into view, suggesting these guys *are* reservoir dogs, whatever the hell those are (to this day, I still have no clue). The sequence is so thoroughly awesome it doesn't need much more justification than that, but the context comes from the previous scene, where the gangsters settle their restaurant bill and discuss pop music. Quentin Tarantino's Mr. Brown explains how Madonna's "Like a Virgin" is "a metaphor for big dicks." All those ramblers rambling down that back alley represent something of a metaphor for big dicks as well. It's a grand tribute to machismo and a dramatic opening statement from a soon-to-be major filmmaker. Nice touch no one ever notices: just as Steven Wright's radio DJ says the Sounds of the '70s Weekend will "keep on truckin'" the Dogs walk into frame past a big blue truck. –MS
34. "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1964)
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
The brilliant opener to "Dr. Strangelove" is a deadpan depiction of airplane intercourse. A refueling tanker dips its wick into the small fighter plane below it, gently bouncing up and down as the strainingly romantic tune of "Try A Little Tenderness" plays over their union. A jittery and unprecedentedly huge font lists the credits in between the steel thrustings.This short piece nails the macho self-aggrandizement of the military industrial complex in under two minutes. Stanley Kubrick drafted Cuban-born graphic designer Pablo Ferro to craft this title sequence, and also endorsed his hand-drawn font that itself acts as a caricature of straight Hollywood text. Ferro had made his name in commercials with a quick cut style, but "Strangelove" launched a long career in film, including work on the title sequences for everything from "A Clockwork Orange" to "L.A. Confidential." This might be his crowning achievement though, with the most elegant dick joke ever filmed. –RES
33. "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968)
Directed by Sergio Leone
This tour-de-force opening is one of the longest (over 14 minutes) and most galvanizing in film history. It all starts with the sound design, which is a complex layer of tweeting birds, creaking doors, cracking knuckles, and an endlessly squeaking windmill. With minimal dialogue, a trio of duster-clad outlaws descend on a desolate train station and shove the teller into a closet. When the door slams him into blackness, the "A film by Sergio Leone" card slides onscreen, the first of many credits that accompany the cowboys as they wait for… something. The sculptural face of Woody Strode glowers at the steady drip of water on his Stetson hat, while an unshaven, jaundiced-looking Jack Elam plays games with a persistent fly near the tracks. Once a train pulls in, and Ennio Morricone's haunting harmonica theme sings through the speakers, it's clear these hunters are doomed, and that another story is about to begin. –RES
Below is an excerpt. For the full opening to "Once Upon a Time in the West," go to The Art of the Title.
32. "Life of Brian" (1979)
Directed by Terry Jones
Monty Python's "Life of Brian" takes direct aim at faith, organized religion and true believers, so what better way to start than with a credit sequence that demolishes, literally, old-world totems? Terry Gilliam's irreverently animated sequence is awash in classical Roman architecture and sculptures, all of which crumble and collapse while attempting to be constructed by faceless workers, a motif that subtly conveys the film's overriding aim of cheeky biblical reconstruction. With a ridiculousness befitting a Python effort, the sequence offers up the titular Brian as a baby plummeting down a cavern, people being crushed beneath frontages, and a winged angel who, while ascending to Heaven, is burnt by the sun. The real coup de grace, however, is the scene's grand theme song, which — with lyrics about the titular faux-holy man such as, "And he started to shave, and have one off the wrist, and want to see girls, and go out and get pissed" — encapsulates the entire endeavor's impertinent absurdity. –NS
31. "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962)
Directed by Robert Mulligan
"He put us directly into the movie, right from the very first frame," says director Robert Mulligan on the commentary track for "To Kill a Mockingbird." The man he's referring to is Stephen Frankfurt, who parlayed his job as an ad exec for the likes of Jell-O and Lay's Potato Chips during the '60s and '70s into one of the most legendary careers in movie marketing Hollywood has ever seen, with the minimalist ad campaigns for films like "Alien" and "Rosemary's Baby." For "Mockingbird," he was actually pursued by producer Alan J. Pakula because of his work with products aimed at children, since the goal was to get inside of the mind of the film's two young heroes Jem and Scout. The brilliance of the sequence is that it accomplishes that without ever actually showing you those kids. Instead, the audience is treated to an assortment of children's possessions found in a cigar box, like crayons, dolls, marbles and a harmonica. It's a clever way of capturing a feeling of innocence that later becomes a plot point, since they're the belongings of Boo Radley, the enigmatic character at the story's center. These credits are the perfect tease for the film that follows, including the fact that you may need to have a Kleenex box nearby. –SS

George Blanda… the King of All The World
Oakland Raiders Legend George Blanda has passed. The son of a Czech-born Pittsburgh-area coal miner, Blanda was a true Raider who epitomized the blue-collar Oakland teams of his era. As a diehard Raider fan and former kicker, he holds a special place in my early Silver and Black memories. This amazing and goosebump inducing call from Bill King (reprinted courtesy of Jerry Mcdonald, Ibabuzz.com) says it all perfectly…
"Waiting for the snap . . . fourth down . . . here it is . . .snap! spotted down! It's kicked. That's got a chance. That is — good! It's good — Holy Toledo! Holy Toledo! This place has gone wild. I don't believe it! I do not believe it! There are three seconds left in the game. If you can hear me, this place has gone wild . . . the Oakland Raiders 23! . . . the Cleveland Browns 20!
"George Blanda has just been elected king of the world! I don't believe it. I don't believe it! Holy Toledo! It went 53 . . . no 52 yards! George Blanda has just been elected king of the world!"
George Blanda Bio: George Frederick Blanda ("The Grand Old Man") (September 17, 1927 – September 27, 2010) was a collegiate and professional football quarterback and placekicker. The son of a Czech-born Pittsburgh-area coal miner, Blanda has the distinction of having played 26 seasons of professional football, the most in the sport's history, and had scored more points than anyone in history at the time of his retirement. Blanda retired from pro football in 1976. He was only one of two players to play in four different decades, and he holds the record for most extra points kicked.[2] He was married from December 17, 1949 until his death to Betty Harris and had 2 children. Blanda died on September 27, 2010
Rest in peace George, your place in Raiders history is assured.

Team:Prairie View/Project
From 2008.igem.org
Our work is aimed at developing a biosensor for the detection of cations by introducing electron network system proteins into the chassy best suited to receive an enhanced energy flow. The flow of electrons is fueled through the network of oxidation reactions of bivalent metals across Ion channels and Cytochrome complexes. By facilitating the flow of electrons in a cell, we have showed an increase of ATP production. Bacterial cells use ATP for anabolic reactions, including the synthesis of DNA. Through our electron network system, we can enhance the expression of DNA, increasing cell replication along with the fluorescence of our reporters. Together, these incorporated proteins enhance the capacity of our sensor device. Our goal is to establish specificity within the sensing device. To accomplish this, we have selected new vectors (BSK and pET) and have designed primers to replicate the parts used in previous experiments along with the addition of cytochrome C. Our approach in designing these parts is to assemble ligations with a more modular construction enabling specificity in our sensor. We can now test with each metal alone and in combinations with and without Cytochrome C & Ion Channels. Our testing system is designed for training a computer model with the data on an accept/reject basis. The targeted divalent cations are accepted by the model because their electrical configurations allow oxidation for the electron network system. Introduced anions will be used for rejected data because their valence decline oxidation and consequently will not produce the ATP/fluorescent values that the model is trained to accept. This accept/reject basis enhances the degree of specificity of our sensor and of the computational model. To expand on this research, we would like to design our own proteins; new ion channels and cytochrome complexes that are specific to the electrical configurations of the target ions. These electrically gated proteins would discriminate passage based on the energy of the ion. This kind of project would involve a collaborative field effort and we are seeking cooperative interest.

Much better than the newspaper reviews...much better!
Review by: CLars, May 29, 2008
Well worth seeing—prompted a vibrant discussion afterward with my friends who saw it with me. The newspaper reviews of this play underrate it terribly. Yes, some of what happens is predictable...because in life, in this situation (which happens more frequently than any of us want to admit), the result IS predictable. The issues of class, of privilege, of homophobia, of parental responsibility were handled very well. Given the "ok" review ...

in the Times, I figured for the price and since I was interested in the issues, I couldn't lose...but the play was far better than I had been led to expect. Go see it...and when you leave, ask yourself what do you think will happen when the father arrives?

Great show, entertaining and makes you think. Great but not heavy.
Review by: jasny, May 24, 2008
Ok, I am not going to go through this part by part and tell what I liked about it. There was a lot to like. Especially for the discount price, the value is amazing. The acting was superb. It addressed issues in a very nice way. It was far from a been there done that. The set was great. I can not imagine anyone young not liking it.

Good Boys and True
By Beth Mandelbaum
While this is not a great play, it does treat some very significant issues and the acting is quite good. I must admit that I did find this show absorbing and it did hold my attention. However, there was a certain degree of predictability.
It takes place in 1989 at an exclusive boy's Catholic private high school in Washington DC, where just about everyone comes from extremely ...

privileged backgrounds. It is an exploration of extreme adolescent behavior on the part of members of the football team: boys behaving badly.
The title is completely ironic as this show is really about bad boys and lies. The phrase "good boys and true" is part of the school's, or perhaps the school's football team's, marching song or anthem. Te show begins in an empty room, full of beautiful and glimmering trophies, and all that one hears is this song.
The play focuses on a video (which is only described) of one of the members of the football team engaging in a graphic, shocking and extremely demeaning sexual act with a young woman, actually akin to rape. A young man actually believes that what he did was not big deal, but rather just a prank, a sharing of sexual conquest just like the other boys do in their locker room talk, with no seeming comprehension of the seriousness and potential consequences of his actions.
The play has to do with personal and parental responsibility; the sense of amorality on the part of these teenager; a powerful portrayal of what it means to be highly privileged and have the false sense that one will always be secure and protected, regardless of what one does, because of connections and power; it's a story about lying versus telling the truth.
It also contains a rather shocking portrayal of social classism, where a privileged boy feels that it is all right to do something dreadful to another human being, to victimize and humiliate someone of a lower class, because he feels that they just don't matter; it is a tale of the "old boy" network, and an attempt to try to keep a situation a secret that can be handled within the school and the family; there is also the extreme naivety on the part of the young boy that he could commit a viscous act and truly believes that his family would be able to make some calls and make everything go away; and it is very much a portrait of a mother's struggle to make sense out of it all, and her strong need to know the truth, and to try to understand what could possibly motivate her son to do such a thing.
In terms of the rather disturbing social classism in this play, we are presented with the fact that someone could look at another human being as simply not worth anything, and therefore believe that using that person in an act of sexual violence is an okay thing to do.
And it's also very much about the ultimate humiliation of the young woman, the victim, who is from a different social class, and what's this experience has done to her life, and that of her family.
I would not necessarily recommend this play, though I am glad that I saw it. There would seem to be more thoughtful, moving, probing, reflective and philosophical plays that one can see on or off Broadway at this time.
And when the show ends its run on June 1st, I can envision parts of the dialog used in an intriguing episode or two of Law & Order: SVU!
My recommendation:
Don't go

"Good Boys and True"
Review by: Tom, May 12, 2008
"Good Boys and True," by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is currently in early previews at the Second Stage Theatre. Perhaps once the cast has had a chance to become more familiar with their roles and to become more comfortable with their fellow performers and coalesce into an ensemble, the power that I think is there in the text will come through. The story, which takes place at an exclusive, Catholic, boys-only school, is simple: a video tape has ...

been discovered, showing what looks like the captain of the football team having violent sex with an unknown teenage girl. (The story takes place in 1989, pre-YouTube.) Is it, in fact, the handsome, charismatic team captain, son of two doctors, one of whom was a legendary leader and athletic star when he attended the same school? Will the football coach find some way to keep the story under wraps, to deal with it quietly?
There is a lot to like about "Good Boys and True." The set is beautiful -- row upon row of glittering sports trophies, calling to mind the tradition (and priorities) of the school, and allows for almost seamless changes between scenes. The story is interesting and has plenty to draw us in.
Unfortunately, there are still too many wrinkles still to be ironed out of this preview production. The actors, I think, can grow into their roles. The author may find ways of reforming his text to build in a bit more drama. The question is, will they? I'm guessing no.

Welcome to Solopreneur.biz - Making It Solo In The Business World. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed.
Of all social networks, LinkedIn seems to be the most confusing to most people. Many users create a profile and they think they are done. As with any social network, you must network in order to make the most of your membership. Only by networking with those involved with LinkedIn can you realize its benefits.
Today we are going to discuss 5 ways you can use LinkedIn to build your business.
1. Create a Killer Profile
Resumes are typically boring. Rather than copy and paste your resume into LinkedIn, take time to spice it up a bit. Use action words to define your accomplishments. Numbers don't lie. Use them as much as possible to quantify your results and expertise. If the company you worked for used job titles that were proprietary to the company, list them as something most others would recognize. If you were a clerk 3 or a Supervisor IV, explain exactly what it is. However do not stray from the truth. Be sure to include your picture and all relevant contact information. Ask previous companies for work endorsements to be included on your profile.
2. If You Build It They Will Come…
your network that is. Find fellow LinkedIn users from your community and connect with them. There are also many different groups catering to LinkedIn connections like: LinkedIn Lions () and My Virtual Power Forum. Once you begin making connections and adding people to your network, start looking through their connections for relevant users to add to yours.
3. Start Connecting
There are many different types of groups on LinkedIn that are relevant to your industry or the industry you are targeting. Become active within these groups and start asking and answering their questions. If you know of someone who could instantly fix the situation that a fellow LinkedIn user is experiencing, go ahead and connect the two. As with all networking, you must give in order to receive.
4. Keep Up With It All
There is nothing worse than creating something and then walking away from it. Think of fresh cut flowers. For awhile they are beautiful, but the longer they sit unattended the uglier they get. The leaves die and the water becomes stagnant. In the same vein, your profile can become ugly and stagnant. Be sure to keep your profile up to date. Review it every month and make changes and add to it. Continue to add new connections and foster existing connections at every turn. Once your business gets busy, the sad fact is we stop participating and making sure that our content is fresh and alive. Make LinkedIn part of your weekly networking routine.
5. Increase Your Search Engine Rankings
Did you know that LinkedIn gives you the option to have your profile made available to the many search engines including Google? To make this active, make your profile public and choose "full view" and also customize your URL. Because LinkedIn is well known and regarded by the search engines it's a good way to influence what searchers see when they search for your keywords/phrases.
Lately on the Solopreneur.Biz blog we have been talking a lot about different aspects of social media. This is the topic that creates the most confusion and frustration these days in the minds of many of my clients.
Where should I market my business online?
How do I know how to do all these different sites?
Do I have to spend all my time on this?
There are lots of myths and misconceptions and it is time to learn exactly what works with social media.
Join me on Thursday, October 1st at 6:00pm ET for the free call Tips for Profiting from Social Media: Clear Up the Confusion and Get Going. We'll be discussing strategies for social media, what you need to do BEFORE you begin, and how to maximize your use of your time on the sites. Learn what social media WILL and WILL NOT do for your biz. We'll cover tips for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and more. Please join me for ideas on how to leverage these hugely powerful tools to benefit your business.
Register for the free call here: http://www.solopreneur.biz/teleseminar
I really hope you can join me live for this event. If you can't be there, just go ahead and register so that after the call, you will automatically get the information on how to access the recording. Here's your opportunity to find out what works for business in the new world of social media. Learn how to use these tools effectively and profitably. Don't miss this chance.

There's a lot of discussion around this space. Gartner dubbed this space network forensics so that's the moniker that it's getting these days. But a lot of it really does have to do with advance threat intelligence. For organizations that are really thinking about ways to deal with these advanced threats – these security problems that are getting past the antivirus, evading intrusion detection systems and fall into this category of sophisticated threats. There's this category of solutions that are based on full packet capture and then real time situational awareness and that's where we fall into. There are a few products in this category and of those there are only a few that deal with real time incident response or real time intrusion detection and management and NetWitness falls into that category. You mention the word response. Is there in fact a response or is it more of an alert? Once you start talking about response, doesn't that turn it into an intrusion prevention system?
Requires Free Membership to View
There's a number of ways to approach it, but just as an example, one of our customers is arguably one of the largest private IP networks in the world and they're doing 60 GB/s of aggregate throughput and has got 1.5 PBs of inline real time storage in what you would call a real time situational awareness grid. It's definitely doable in a very large environment. The issue is just building scalability into the environment. There are ways to do it with commodity-type appliance based storage and there are ways to do it with traditional approaches to storage, such as storage area networks or other types of approaches. It just depends what your goals are with respect to data retention and use cases. Some organizations have use cases that are strictly incident response for security operations so the useful life of that information is shorter than an organization that may have more of a classic forensics or investigatory type of use case where they want to go back and look at the history of network traffic for a longer period that might be 60 days, 90 days or even longer in some cases. One term we've been hearing is "advanced persistent threat (APT)." I spoke to one expert who said it's being watered down by security vendor marketing departments. What is your definition of an APT?
For me to classify something as an APT there's a few different criteria that has to be met. First of all, there has to be evidence that there is a specific adversary and that the adversary has some sort of organization, motivation and funding associated with them. The second is that there are specific targets in mind. The third is that they have the ability to operate across a broad spectrum of different types of activities from social engineering to malware creation to network-based attacks or things of that sort. For example, we've seen with certain government clients where there have been a series of spear phishing attacks. These spear phishing attacks have ranged from being very clear social engineering attacks that have hand crafted malware in them, that have never been seen anywhere before to where once the malware is installed, it's very clear that the malware had some prior information relative to the specific assets in the organization – some network mapping had been done at a prior time. That would fall under my definition of an APT.

Get your tickets at The Clay Center or charge by phone by calling 304 -561-3570.
August 16 - Bristol TN/VA
Tickets aren't on sale yet for our trip to Bristol (we'll announce it just as soon as they are here on the blog) but we have expanded the line-up to include folk-singer and old-time enthusiast Mike Seeger and R&B Soul-bluesman Robert Cray and his band.
Seeger, who many know as a member of the hugely influential New Lost City Ramblers, has a CD out on Smithsonian Folkways called Early Southern Guitar Sounds. Heck, he's even mentioned in Chronicles, Vol. I by Bob Dylan:
"He played on all the various planes, the full index of the old-time styles, played in all the genres and had the idioms mastered - Delta Blues, ragtime, minstrel songs, buck-and wing, dance reels, play party, hymns and gospel. It's not as if he just played everything well, he played these songs as good as it was possible to play them."
Robert Cray, long-championed soul and blues guitarist, is ready to release a new album to follow up his 2006 live release, Live from Across the Pond .
Be sure to swing by the Mountain Stage home at NPR Music to check out a new feature, just added today, with video highlights of an interview with Fountains of Wayne conducted by Mountain Stage host and artistic director, Larry Groce. The members wax on their successes and their upcoming acoustic tour.
Then you can click through to hear their entire set, including songs from their latest Traffic & Weather plus some exclusive songs that have yet to be released. FoW will embark on an all-acoustic show this summer, so you can preview their upcoming trek through their Mountain Stage performance.
Tickets are still available, while they last, for this Sunday's live performance at the Chuck Mathena Center in Princeton, WV.
Folks will be traveling from all around to see Steve Earle perform songs from Townes, bluegrass living legend Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, former Nickel Creek member Sara Watkins, the chamber-grass ensemble King Wilkie and new-comers The Lovell Sisters. Call 877.425.5128 to charge by phone or order online at www.chuckmathenacenter.org.
You can read the Charleston Gazette's feature on Earle on The Gazz.
He was on Letterman Wednesday night and just enjoyed his highest Billbaord chart position for Townes, which debuted at #19 last week.
Koko Taylor - 1928-2009
The Mountain Stage family is saddened to learn of Koko Taylor's passing on June 3. Her status as Queen of the Blues was undisputed, especially to anyone who watched her sing.
She last visited Mountain Stage in 2001 and she continued performing up until last month when she sang at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis (shortly after winning her 29th Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year). Taylor is a legend of the blues and will surely be missed. Upcoming Mountain Stage guests Shemekia Copeland and Buddy Guy are both quoted in this AP obituary. Shemekia says, "You can't ask a woman who sings blues right now who influenced them and not say 'Koko Taylor.' If she didn't pave the way for us we couldn't do this." You can read more at the Alligator Records website and hear NPR Music's feature from Morning Edition.
The Chicago Tribune's blog post goes deeper into her recording history with Chess and Alligator Records.
Here is a set Koko did for Mountain Stage, recorded July 13, 2001 in Snowshoe, WV. May her voice continue inspire singers for generations to come. Set List: Can't Let Go Ernestine Jump For Joy Somebody Bring Me Some Water (Melissa Etheridge) Wang Dang Doodle

what, he just opens a church and expects everyone to come in and listen to him? Are there no regulations about what people can call a religion in the USA? And what is he going to be telling the gay and lesbians who walk in his door? God forgives your sin? I think not.
Also, blaming his own sexual prefernces on alleged 'abuse' as a child is a crock. There is no firm evidence that abused children become gay.
This man is a complete fraud, he's only trying to fool himself. Apparently in the U.S. a church can be anything and still receive government support, because everyone is so scared being P.C. (politically correct) that we have blanded the hell out of life.
I don't blame my being gay on an abusive upbringing ~ everyone has a sob-story, man up Haggard and stop pretending to be something you're not
I'm sure it will just be a matter of time before he's involved in another sex scandal…and his thick wife will probably stand by her cheating man yet again.
"Are there no regulations about what people can call a religion in the USA?"
As long as the founder can sign his name to a few tax documents, only overt prostitution or pedophilia can stop a church from being founded in the USA by anyone.
As for Mr. Haggard, what I speaks loudest to me is the number of gay men who will continue to willingly have sex with this homophobe without requiring payment
Well, we don't have Ted Haggards in Holland, but we have our own crazies. Yvette Laclé, founder of Evangelische Partij Nederland (no need to translate this), a lady with a very colourful past and a hard-on for homosexuality. We'll be having elections next Wednesday and she's been told by her god, she told on TV, that all of us will drown if we don't vote for a christian government. No half measures, people. If our dykes break because of a tsunami or something, don't be surprised, because we will have pissed off Yvette's invisible friend.
Still can't beat Roy Zimmerman's musical tribute to Ted Haggard… sums it all up for me.
So all these gays he's welcoming to his flock with open arms… that's for therapy purposes, right?
OK… let's stick some crystal meth in the sacred incence burner and all kneel for the service. May the battle of wills commence!
A face only a mother could love.
@12 Har:
Do you mean this Yvette?
"Yvette Laclé (Paramaribo, August 25th 1955), until early 2009 known as Yvette Lont(-Eersel), is a Dutch local politician in Amsterdam since 2002.
After working as a prostitute, she became a member of Pentecostalism and caregiver for the addicted.
Laclé is known for her extremist christian views on gay rights, so extreme in fact, that they were reason for expulsion from the conservative christian democratic party Christian Union in 2008."
And the election is in 2 days…June 9.
Somehow it's more difficult to imagine a right-wing nutter in Holland than in the USA.
There's a part of me which almost feels sorry for Ted, in that he's become a victim of his own homophobic right wing fundamentalist meme and it doesn't take Freud to figure out that a 'straight man struggling with same sex attraction' is by definition not straight.
But then I remember he's peddling his line in BS to other impressionable gay people having trouble coming to terms with their identities and that's where the sympathy dries up. It really is a case of the lunatics taking over the asylum.

A few weeks back, we noted that James O'Keefe -- who has gained right-wing fame for his clandestine ACORN videos -- received thousands of dollars for a previous stunt from Peter Thiel, a co-founder of the online payment site PayPal with major conservative cred.
Interestingly, Thiel is not the only PayPal alum with a toehold in right-wing activism.
Eric Jackson is the former marketing director for PayPal, and Norman Book is its former financial systems manager. After leaving the company following its acquisition by eBay, the pair in 2004 founded World Ahead Publishing, with the goal to publish conservative-oriented books (among them: "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!").
In 2006, WorldNetDaily selected World Ahead to be the latest partner in its WND Books imprint; in 2008, WND purchased World Ahead outright. As part of the deal, Jackson was named executive vice president of strategy of WND (he has since left that position; he currently "advises startups and non-profits on their business and product strategies"), while Book was named (and remains) executive vice president of operations.
What does this mean? Not much, beyond the fact that not every dot-com start-up is run by a flaming liberal. And that some are far enough right to hang out with WorldNetDaily.

Not sure how you see race in this, looking to stir some shit, Tabbooma will play along, pretty far stretch equating Tabbooma to a racist because some people eat dog, they eat it in Switzerland, and any cold country as an emergency food source. In Tabbooma's opinion no one should eat a dog, period.
Does calling much of the Chinese and Korean population tools make Tabbooma an intolerant racist?
Posted 28 June 2012 - 09:26 PM
Tabbooma would work as many hours required so he could afford a decent living
a. would you rather work 40 hours per week for a thousand dollars, or sit home and do nothing for 405?
b. would you rather work 40 hours per week for three hundred dollars, or sit home and do nothing for 405?

Ages birth through six are crucial. These are the years that neural pathways develop most rapidly. The window is fully open for musical growth and development!
"Babies have already been listening and responding to music, language, and other sounds for as much as half of their lives before birth. A child is never too young to hear and respond to music or language." - Music Together® Parent Guidebook
Our mixed age classes are for children ages birth to 5 and their parents or caregivers. Sessions are made up of ten weekly, 45-minute classes including songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement, and instrument play.
These activities are presented as informal, non-performance-oriented musical experiences--developmentally appropriate for children and easy for parents and caregivers--regardless of their own musical ability.
Our infant only class is for first time Music Together families and their babies birth through 9 months. Once you have completed a 10 week infant class you will move into a mixed age class. ( Infant Only classes are only offered periodically however, you may attend a mixed age class with your infant at any time)

Executive Coaching – How it can help.
Executive Coaching offers organisations an effective way of supporting individual managers to overcome problems in their performance, or help them step up into a new role. It provides a more cost–effective approach by refocusing an existing manager, who is otherwise an asset to the business, rather than losing them and having to recruit externally.
The processIt is a structured process which helps the individual address their issues, by increasing their awareness and taking responsibility for them. Enabling them to
- clarify issues
- challenge limiting beliefs
- generate and evaluate options
- decide on a final compelling course of action.
This process is usually handled in a series of face to face meetings. PSYCHOMETRIC TESTING -Are you Hiring and Promoting the Right People ?
- Have you ever hired a competent person who was unable to get along with others?
- Have you promoted one of your best workers to find that person incapable of leading ?
Psychometric tests can be an invaluable and cost-effective addition to the recruitment and development process within organisations.It is the experience of many, that 'technical' skills are relatively easy to check out, but how quickly someone will learn about a new business/job and how they will fit with their new environment is more difficult to ascertain without some help.The McQuaig system offered by Florence Madden can help with…….
- Job profiling – being clear what you are looking for before you start to look at candidates.
- Candidate profiling – assessing: underlying temperament; learning speed and preferences; and fit to the job profile.
The 'testing' process is backed up by
- Full discussion on site with the client to help with the interpretation of the results

"First Car Story" Takes Drivers Down Memory Lane. But What's The Brand Behind It?
Oh, so you want to hear my First Car Story, do you? It dates back to the late 1980s, when I was but a lad with shaky confidence and a few wisps of hair-like filament sprouting in the uncharted terrain between my nose and upper lip. Partly through the frowned-upon sharing of Algebra II notes, I managed to secure for myself a single date with a young miss who I'll call "Phoebe Cates." Phoebe and I had a fine time during dinner, owing mostly to my probing, conversation-fueling questions ("so, what's going on?," "everything good?," "can you please pass the ketchup?"). We had an even finer time during the movie that followed, thanks to the raw, magical chemistry between Carl Weathers and Vanity.
But upon heading home, Phoebe and I were met with a mood-annihilating surprise. While parking the car, I'd heard a slight rustling noise in the trees above but thought nothing of it. It turns out that what I had interpreted as a breeze or a squirrel was actually a street gang of pigeons in the throes of severe digestive distress. In the three hours that followed, they disgorged the contents of their colons (do birds have colons? whatever) onto my Toyota Camry wagon. That's my "first car story": I went on a date and returned to find a car shrouded in shit. See attached photo, taken after two rounds of clean up. I didn't even receive a pity kiss when I dropped her home.
Hey, you asked. And I'm happy to have shared my little story, along with the accompanying evidence. But here's the thing: Just because you've provided me with a forum to reminisce about the sad intersection of teenage kicks and bird poop doesn't make me more inclined to buy your product or support your brand. In fact, the only impulses First Car Story provoked in me were to spend 14 hours "researching" old classmates on Facebook and to wonder whatever happened to Simple Minds.
And that's why "First Car Story," created by Subaru to promote its redesigned Impreza, doesn't accomplish its goal. While the concept is clever (if not entirely original) and the execution improbably and awesomely detailed, the program taps far more into our general love of cars than into our curiosity about one specific car. The nostalgia it provokes overwhelms the pitch it delivers.
Don't get me wrong: I loved playing with the "First Car Story" toys. To create an animated video depicting a first car story, the site asks for a bunch of information (model/color/condition) and a name (I went with "The Be-Pooped Love Camry"). It then prompts users to write a sentence or three, promising "when you write a word we can animate, like say banjo, we'll highlight it." After choosing music (I selected the peppy-'80s "Girl Party" over the more-accurate-at-the-time "Broke & Lonely") and recording narration for the clip in my sing-song alto, my transformation into a first-car raconteur, the kind you'd hear on NPR and describe to your droll NPR friends as "droll," was complete.
The finished product exceeded expectations. Though it cut off half my narration - the text I entered apparently only gave the site so much to work with, as opposed to the 285 seconds of voiced-over Larrybabble - the video did a fine job depicting the nine car accidents Phoebe and I almost caused while driving home with a poop-caked windshield. Whoever dreamed up the wackadoo-accident-reconstruction" component of the animated technology deserves a serious raise.
Subaru slips a few plugs for the Impreza into the video tool - as my narration uploaded, I half- saw something or other about a new symmetrical wheel design - but the carmaker doesn't do enough to brand the program as its own. Here's what I'd like to know: If Subaru goes back and polls "First Car Story" sharers five days from now, how many will remember that the Impreza had anything to do with the site? Hell, how many will remember Subaru had anything to do with it? Ultimately, then, "First Car Story" amounts to little more than a really cool techno-trifle.
