Library Liaison Responsibilities
Library Liaison Responsibilities
A. Working with Departments
1. Maintain regular contact with the departmental liaison each semester and foster a good working relationship with the department.
2. Keep faculty up-to-date with changes in library services such as new policies, procedures, resources, services, events, and programs.
3. Communicate library policies and procedures upon request.
4. Stress the importance of faculty input. It is only with their help that the library can provide the best and most appropriate services.
5. Remind departmental faculty that instruction sessions by a reference librarian can be catered to the specific needs of the instructor and students.
6. Teach faculty how to search the
Library Catalog
and other databases as requested.
B. Selecting Materials for the Collection
1. Forward CHOICE cards and other relevant selection materials (i.e. catalogs, book reviews, journal articles, etc.) to the departmental liaison.
2. Use a variety of selection tools: CHOICE cards,
Best Books for Academic Libraries,
Books in Print, bibliographies, and Best Of lists such as
Library Journals
Best Consumer Health Books of 2004.
3. In addition to the CHOICE cards, recommend titles from
Books in Print or WorldCat.
These databases can sometimes be the best resources for departments in need of assistance.
4. Review gift items. Although Roberts-LaForge Library accepts many gift items, not everything will be appropriate for the collection. Librarians will determine the suitability of materials in conjunction with departments and relevant faculty. Refer to the Gift Policy for more information.
C. Evaluating the Collection
1. Evaluate portions of the general collection that relate to subject areas of your department. This evaluation would involve weeding irrelevant material or spotting gaps in the collection.
Knowing what courses are taught and what each faculty member requires is an essential component of spotting gaps and weeding.
2. Consult affected departments before withdrawing any title from the collection.
3. Materials that have been marked lost or missing will be reviewed by Library Administration in April of the spring semester. Items will be reordered when funds are available.
D. Preparing Orders
1. Check the catalog to ensure a submitted title is not already in the collection.
2. If any critical piece of information (title, author, ISBN, or price) is missing from the order card, please find it using the Blackwell database,
Books in Print
or an online service like Amazon.
3. Check the availability of titles by searching the Blackwell database. If the status is not favorable in Blackwell, the item should probably be ordered directly from the publisher or another vendor. Mark these items as Direct Order and separate them from the rest of the order cards.
4. If the title is already owned by the library, return the card to the departmental liaison.
5. If a department exceeds its budgeted amount, request that they prioritize the orders based on the needs of all faculty.
6. Keep a record (in Excel preferably) of all titles ordered. Several departments usually ask for this sort of information for accreditation reasons.
7. Make sure that all deadlines are met.
8. If a balance remains, please work with the department to obtain more orders.
9. Separate orders that cannot be ordered through PrompCat. Titles that cannot be ordered through PromptCat are as follows:
Multi-volume works
Additional copies of a title
Media or resources that come with media
Any item that will not reside in the General or Reference Collection
Any title that may already have a record in the catalog (such as
Brills New Pauly: Encyclopedia of the Ancient World
10. Distinguish General and Reference orders by clearly marking reference titles as
. If a card has no such markings, it will be considered a general collection title.
11. For those orders that cannot be placed through PromptCat, it may be necessary to include the publishers contact information. If that information is readily available, please include it on the order card. If a special order form is required (e.g. software or videos), please make all attempts to include that form along with the order.
12. If catalogs, brochures, or other printed information is provided by the departmental liaison, please include it along with the order card.
13. Make sure the order cards are arranged in alphabetical order by title.
14. Calculate the total amount of the order. On the calculators tape, write your name, the name of the department, and the date.

Delta Sonic Car Wash renews tarnished transportation with an innovative touchless car-wash system that automatically guides vehicles through a tunnel of high-pressure sprays and overhead buffing cloths. The hands-free wash massages mild lotions into paint jobs, leaving vehicles with sparkling, fingerprint-free finishes that are backed by a five-day guarantee. Detailing technicians do get their hands dirty as they make use of more than 100 hours of training to dote on vehicle interiors and exteriors with products from ValuGard, Aquapel, and Blue Coral. The team wields AOCA certification know-how when injecting engines with oil and devising rustproofing treatments that avoid drilling holes or covering corrosion in zit cream.
This full-service butcher shop and French market stocks its shelves with fine organic and artisanal goods. Grass-fed beef arrives in everything from burger-ready ground pounds ($4.95) to tenderloin cuts ($27.99 per pound), and free-range Amish chickens are available whole ($2.99 per pound), tasting like chicken, or in boneless, skinless breast fillets ($4.99 per pound). Eco-conscious pescatarians can enjoy sustainable seafood such as Atlantic salmon ($10.99 per pound) and Canadian whitefish ($7.99 per pound), and completely vegetarian gourmands can benefit from shelves of epicurean butters, fresh breads, organic produce, fragrant flowers, vibrant seasonings, and more. Groupon customers are invited to attend the grand opening celebration of Amano Boucherie on Saturday, February 19, from 11 a.m.—4 p.m.
Both FitRx's brick-and-motor and online stores focus on pairing customers with quality, trusted sports supplements that will help them achieve their specific workout goals. Throughout each shop's shelves, you'll find nutritional products, vitamins, and workout supplements from more than 200 brands, such as Accu-Fitness, Nature's Alchemy, Inholtra, and Zone Perfect. You could use vortex powders for extra energy before hitting the gym, or take beef protein powders from MuscleMeds to complement a weight-lifting regimen and help give the strength and confidence to apologize to the phone books that were ripped in half.
The steak sampler pummels the meat-eater's appetite with a 12 lb. meateor of hanging tender, black forest top sirloin, southwest flank steak, and authentic steakhouse tri-tip. Each 3 lb. segment applies meltingly marbled, tenderly marinated meatiness directly to the taste buds, satisfying both soulful hunger and savage flavorlust. Clancy's vacuum-marinating process penetrates the meaty steaks with arrows of spice, tenderizing juices, and 100% pure USDA choice and prime-grade magic for the juiciest, most flavor-filled steaksperience possible.
Regardless of which of the hundreds of Target Portrait Studio locations you meander into, you can always count on a similar experience. Tucked into Target retail locations throughout the nation, each studio boasts a staff of professional photographers, premium lighting equipment, and advanced digital cameras. The seasoned crew takes pains to customize photo sessions to suit each customer's vision, setting up desired backgrounds and props before guiding families and high-school seniors through a mélange of poses. Afterward, customers will work with a professional to personalize their portraits with different special effects and styles, such as black and white or sepia tone. They then pick up their physical portraits at the studio in 7–10 days. If they don't feel like holding their breath that long to see the final products, they can access the images in an online gallery within 24 hours of the session, at which point they can order extra prints for gifts, collages, and greeting cards.

Love These Shoes!
By nightsky127
from Atlanta, GA
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about Pearl Izumi All-Road Bike Shoes - Women's:
Bought these shoes because they're SPD compatible, and I already had SPD pedals because I'm more used to mountain biking than road biking -- plus, they have pink trim on them! :-) They fit great and are very easy to walk in. I have wide feet, and even though I went 1/2 size larger, they feel a bit tight in the toe area, but the velcro allows a wide range of adjustments. Good pull on hills, but I'd prefer something a bit more rigid with less motion in the shoe. Can't comment on wear yet because I've had the shoes for only a couple of months, but I've done some long, hard rides in them, and they're overall great.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
These are my first pair of cycling shoes. I love them! They were at an affordable price, are comfortable, and simple to use. I think they're perfect for my purpose of recreational cycling.

They look comfy
By tinamarie67
from Deerfield, NH
I can't wait to get on my bike and try them out. The one down-fall I have is my left shoe is too big. The right shoe fits fine. I am a size 7 1/2, I would love a size 39 for my left foot and keep the size 40 for my right foot. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, I would trade one shoe with you as long as they haven't been used other than trying them on and walking around the house like I did for a few minutes. I can be reached at [@] IF interested in a size 40 left shoe in trade for a size 39 left shoe. Tina

so far so good!
By lulumgoblue
from Ann Arbor, MI
Think this is a good shoe for a beginner at spinning. Nice that the clips are recessed so that walking with the shoes is not difficult

Perfect for my needs
By hilaron
from California
I am new to road biking and clipless pedals and wasn't ready to commit to a full on, ultra stiff road bike shoe with a slick sole and external cleats, so these were a good starter shoe for me. They are a big upgrade from the running shoes I used to wear with the platform pedals on my old hybrid bike - the sole is much stiffer which, combined with the SPD clip-on pedals on my new bike, makes a huge difference in pedaling efficiency and foot comfort over the long haul. Plus, they are super comfortable and easy to walk in due to recessed cleats and tread on the bottom (nice if you want to get off your bike to run an errand or something). They do run small, however. I'm a women's size 7.5, usually take a 38 or 39 in Euro sizes but needed a 40 in this shoe.

Very Comfy!
By Trafar23
from Durham, NC
I tried on a lot of road bike shoes, and this pair stood out as the most comfortable. I normally wear a 39, but had to go with a 40, but they fit like a glove. I got the cycling shop people to install my cleats onto the shoes, but the cleats themselves were easy to adjust to my riding position. I wish they had a better binding system than the velcro closure, but it works well, and for [$], you can't beat the quality of these shoes!

Stylish but soft
By Sammy0909
from Campbell, Ca
This is a nice shoe except the sole is softer than most Pearl Izumi shoes. It would be best for the beginner or very casual cyclist.

Venice, Fla., is a community of about 20,000 people located on the Gulf of Mexico, a few miles south of Sarasota. It is a vacation destination, with a quaint shopping district of small shops and boutiques and a broad, graceful main boulevard that leads to its beach. Among its major attractions is its more than 5 miles of beachfront.
But by the late 1980s, Venice had a problem. Its beach was washing away.
A big part of the problem, then-City Manager John MacLean recalled recently, was the design of a jetty at the north end of Venice Beach that was impeding the flow of sand.
MacLean had made the case that the federally built and federally owned jetty was causing the beach erosion. But the city still needed money to fix it. He had been working to secure money to renourish the beach with sand dredged from offshore when, in 1991, he hired a Washington, D.C., lobbyist named Howard Marlowe to see if he could help.
As it turned out, he could.
"Howard was very helpful in getting the funding in Washington," said MacLean, who is now city manager in Keene, N.H. "What he did was keep us on track in a timely fashion."
MacLean took another job and was succeeded as city manager by George Hunt, who said Marlowe obtained $20 million in the budget of the Army Corps of Engineers, "earmarked" for the Venice beach replenishment.
"He played a pivotal role," said Hunt, who is now human resources director in Palm Bay, Fla. "He was instrumental in shepherding the Army Corps of Engineers request through the budgetary process on Capitol Hill."
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection had mandated that the project be divided into two phases. The first took place in 1994, the second in 1996.
"That was also to Howard's credit," Hunt said. "He went back to Congress and got them to defer part of the appropriation, but to keep it earmarked until we were ready for it. The money could have easily gone to another project somewhere else."
According to the city of Venice Web site, "(t)he federally funded beach project added 250 feet seaward ... with the intention of having 150 feet left above water after the first several storms came through."
Venice also secured an agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers to replenish the beach again every 10 years for a 50-year period.
In 2005, the Corps embarked on a $12.1 million project that deposited one million cubic yards of sand along 3.3 miles of shoreline, adding 130 to 160 feet of width to the beach. The city and state jointly paid $2 million of the total.
Marlowe is still retained by the city of Venice.
"Basically, Mr. Marlowe enhances our ability to have a presence in Washington, D.C.," said Venice's public information officer, Pam Johnson. "Our congressional delegation has been active as well, but having Mr. Marlowe up there on a regular basis, meeting with people, helps us to keep a presence."
Venice pays Marlowe & Co. $3,600 to $3,700 per month on a contract that is up for annual renewal. The City Council has renewed it each year since Marlowe helped Venice win that first beach renourishment "earmark."
"We have an agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers to rebuild our beach every 10 years, but the funding has to be obtained each time," Johnson said.

Image and Exposition: Iconography and Doctrine in Medieval East Asian Buddhism
CMRS Distinguished Visiting Lecture by Robert M. Gimello
Monday, January 22, 2007
Royce 314
Humanities Seminar Room
Focusing especially on the esoteric traditions of medieval Chinese and Japanese Buddhism, in which images most clearly vie with doctrinal formulations for the attention of both the believer and the scholar, this talk will explore, against the background of modern theory, and from a somewhat comparative perspective, Buddhist thought and practice in a period when questions about the relationship between word and image seemed especially urgent.
Robert Gimello is Visiting Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University, and Professor Emeritus, East Asian Studies, University of Arizona.
Cost: Free.

- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a round, deep 20cm tin, then line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper.
- Using electric beaters or a tabletop mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and ¼ tsp salt together until pale and fluffy, then pour in the eggs, one at a time, giving the mix a really good beating before adding the next. Add 1 tbsp of the plain flour if the mix starts to look slimy rather than fluffy. Beat in the yogurt.
- Mix the flours; then, using a large metal spoon, fold them into the batter, followed by the milk. Spoon the mix into the tin and bake for 1 hr 20 mins or until well risen and golden – a skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the syrup by gently heating 50ml water with the sugar and vanilla in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. Once the cake is out of the oven, leave to cool for 30 mins in the tin, then use a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, going right to the bottom. Pour the syrup over, letting it completely soak in after each addition. Leave to cool completely, then either wrap the cake well or fill and ice it. If you wrap it with baking parchment and cling film, the unfilled cake will keep well for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to a month.

Comments, questions and tips
This was a great cake I upped the ingredients a further 20% from LoobyLoos recommendations and it was perfect for my silcone giant cupcake tin - great texture and nice and stable for shaped cakes - my new giant cupcake recipe of choice. Going to try a chocolate version soon by substituting some of the plain flour for cocoa.
My cakes never usually turn out that well - they usually sink in the middle or their too dry or too heavy - but this recipe is ace. I made it these weekend as a birthday cake for my other half, it tasted amazing and it went down well with everyone. I followed the recipe exactly, the syrup really kept the cake moist. I had to cook it for an extra 15 mins on top of the recommended time, but that was probably due to my oven. The cake rose to about three inches and didn't sink. It did have a slight peak so I was only brave enough to cut it once rather than twice. I filled it with butter cream and jam, and put the top layer on upside down to get a nice flat top. I put a thin coating of butter cream over the outside, covered with fondant icing and then decorated. I be using this recipe again and highly recommend.
The most delicious cake I have ever eaten and made. Made the cake for my sister's 40th birthday party and everyone commented on how moist and flavoursome the cake was. A real hit and will now only ever make this cake for parties. Wow. (Shame my sister took the cake away with her so no seconds for me.)
Made this cake a couple of weeks ago for my mother-in law's birthday and it was a big hit, so used it to make and decorate for my daughters friend who was celebrating her 30th birthday. Again it was enjoyed by all. It is so easy to make and I made the buttercream for the centre and used a thin layer on the outside to help the icing to stick. I would recommend this cake to everyone, especially if you are looking for an easy make.
I made this cake for my birthday cake as I wanted to make my own this year. I filled it with raspberry jam and vanilla butter cream, covered it in vanilla butter cream tinted green and made fondant icing daisies for the top.
My first attempt at the sponge didn't work as I used a square tin but forgot that a square tin should be 2cm smaller than a round one so it sank once I took it out of the oven (I still iced it and it actually tasted lovely, just didn't look as impressive) but my second attempt in the round tin was fabulous! I forgot to put the milk in so I'm sure it could have been better, if that's possible, but the result I got was a huge, very moist gorgeous sponge - everybody thought it had been made for me by a professional! I will be using this recipe for all celebration cakes now.
Well, I decided to have a go myself. I followed the recipe to the letter and found it very heavy and not particularly tasty. Much prefer the Mary Berry flag cake to be honest. This was a lot of ingredients for a not particularly memorable cake. Nice yes but not the best. I'm disappointed after all the rave reviews.

The Department of Defense recently released a proposed military budget for 2015 (DoD). The results are along the lines of what we have come to expect lately: there will be budget cuts in order to reign in the DoD and federal budget. In the proposal, the strength of force will be reduced, weapon systems will be cut, and military pay raises will be capped at 1%, as they were in 2014. There is also an expected reduction of 6% for Basic Allowance for Housing. Other proposed cuts include consolidating health care plans and reducing commissary subsidies. Keep in mind everything that follows is still a proposal until signed into law.
Proposed Pay Raise – Just 1% for the Next 3 Years
The proposed 1% pay raise looks like it will be standard for the next few years, as the proposed 2015 military budget intends to extend a 1% pay raise for each of the next three years. Military pay has always been, and will likely always be, a contentious issue. Military members received larger than normal pay raises through the first decade of the 2000′s. The goal was to bring military pay closer to civilian pay. Now, the government wants to slow down the rate of the pay raises. While a 1% pay raise isn't much, it is better than no raise, which is what federal employees received for three years, from 2011 – 2013 (source). Hopefully the era of small pay raises will be short lived.
Expect to Pay More Out of Pocket for Your Housing
The 6% decrease in BAH is a bit of a misnomer as it isn't a direct cut, and it won't happen overnight. However, the proposed cuts are real, and are expected to take place over the next few years. The goal is to shift 6% of housing expenses to service members over the course of the next several years. Part of this will be accomplished by slowing down the cost of living increases. So it's likely that BAH wouldn't be decreased as much as it wouldn't be increased to keep up with inflation. BAH Rates are protected through a Rate-Protection plan, which freezes BAH rates for military members who already live in a location. When the government reduces BAH rates, they are locked in for members who currently live in the area. BAH is only changed for new members who move to the area. So it is likely people wouldn't see an actual decrease in their BAH until they PCS to another location.
The proposal also changes how BAH benefits are calculated. The current method includes the cost of renter's insurance in the calculation. The new method will remove renter's insurance from the calculations.
Proposed Commissary Cuts
The Commissary has been a hot topic lately, and cuts have been discussed at many levels, including the possible closure of US Commissaries. The 2015 budget proposal includes a $1 billion reduction in commissary subsidies over the next 3 years. To put this in perspective, that will leave the Commissary with less than 1/3 of their current budget of $1.4 billion. The Commissary offers shoppers savings of close to 30% on their purchases (By law Commissaries are required to sell items at cost, plus a 5% surcharge). Several proposals have been made to reduce the proposed subsidies and increase the Commissary surcharge in order to reduce the amount of subsidies required to keep the Commissaries open. This would shift some of the cost to shoppers, but would result in keeping the Commissary doors open.
Reduction in Force & Weapon Systems
The Army is considering reducing their strength of force by roughly 13% – from close to 520,000 today, to around 440,000 to 450,000 Soldiers. Sequestration could further reduce that number to 420,000. To put this in perspective, this would be the smallest the Army has been since before World War II. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel cites budget constraints and changing warfare strategies as the reasons for cutting such as large number of troops. The cuts, if approved, wouldn't happen overnight. They would be phased in through 2019, and would take into account retirements, normal separations, and other factors.
The DoD is also considering retiring the A-10 and U-2 aircraft, citing changes in how air wars are fought. The missions these aircraft support can also be handled by other aircraft, at least to a satisfactory degree. The Navy could also see to half their current cruiser fleet retired. The Marines could see a Reduction in Force.
Budget Cuts Are the New Reality
The cuts we are seeing today are reminiscent of the Reduction in Force that occurred at the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s and 1990s (though the Cold War cuts were much larger). But that doesn't make things easier for those who are experiencing cuts today. The fact of the matter is the military is adjusting to the current environment. Cuts are part of today's military environment, and will continue to be an issue in the foreseeable future.

Brief Summary | This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally based family therapy intervention in improving treatment outcome in people with schizophrenia. |
Detailed Description | Schizophrenia is a disabling mental disorder that affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide. People with schizophrenia frequently experience hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking, movement disorders, emotional numbness, social withdrawal, and cognitive deficits. These symptoms can hinder a person's ability to perform everyday functions, such as hold a job and maintain normal social relationships. When combined with medication, family-oriented therapy interventions have been beneficial for people with schizophrenia. There are few programs, however, that are tailored to the needs of minorities. With the rising number of minority populations in the U.S., it is important to develop psychotherapy interventions that are designed specifically for these groups. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally based family therapy intervention in improving treatment outcome in people with schizophrenia. Participants in this 12-month, open label study will first attend a 2-hour screening visit, at which information will be gathered regarding coping styles, spirituality, and expressed emotion. Participants will then be randomly assigned to receive either culturally based therapy or treatment as usual. Although the culturally based therapy will be tailored to the needs and values of Hispanics, people who are not Hispanic will not be excluded. The culturally based therapy will entail 15 weekly therapy sessions, which will focus on family unity, psychoeducation, spirituality, communication skills, and problem-solving. The group receiving treatment as usual will attend 3 weekly psychoeducation sessions that will focus on informing participants about schizophrenia. Outcomes for both groups will be assessed upon completion of treatment and at follow-up visits at Months 6 and 12. |

Years ago, I interviewed trombonist Joseph Bowie at his family's homestead in Frederick, Maryland. Joseph and his brother Lester stretched the boundaries of jazz with their sonically adventurous bands (Defunkt and Art Ensemble of Chicago, respectively), and they were the epitome of hip jazz players, so it blew my mind to learn their family had deep roots in Frederick. In fact, Lester, who passed away in 1999, was born in Frederick and planned on retiring to that area.
Joseph moved to Holland, and he's been wowing mostly European audiences for the past decade, but he's currently in the U.S. for a rare tour with drummer Adam Rudolph. They'll perform at the Windup Space Sunday night.
Wanting to catch up a bit, I emailed Joseph a few questions about living in Holland, what Frederick means to him, and his upcoming show with Rudolph.
Why did you move to Holland, and how's it been for you?
I decided to move in 2003 when I was on a Defunkt Tour in Europe—my then girlfriend (future wife) was living there and things were changing culturally for the worst in the US. I was 50 yrs old and felt it was now or never to make a drastic change.....also, George Bush was President and the cultural decline in America was reaching insulting levels. I happily married in 2004.
Holland is a small country with huge ramifications worldwide after emerging as a shipping power in the 17th century and transporting goods of all kinds throughout the world for the benefit of Western European countries. The Dutch were also instrumental in the slave trade. As a result, The Netherlands is a mixing pot that includes cultures from Suriname, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, North/Central and South Africa etc. Most importantly, for me as a musician, is the geographical location. Within the comparative land area of the United States, there are 28 countries (and counting) that are members of the European Union—28 economic markets, diverse cultures, and languages without borders. You may travel freely between those countries. For work, I can travel to any country withing the EU within 2 hrs by plane or train. The general atmosphere, politically, is still radically social compared to the US. For example, everyone has health coverage!
What have you been focused on for the past few years?
Beyond my collaborations with various bands and musicians, I have developed an EU version of my legendary band Defunkt. I have created "Defunkt nEU Soul" featuring world class musicians from around the globe. The musicians are all based in Paris. (see YouTube, search Defunkt Soul) My foremost focus has been developing humanitarian workshops for musicians and non-musicians. "FunkShop" is my workshop for musicians to develop human contact skills and communication development as well as emphasizing ear training and memorization of music...skills almost lost in the basic curriculum in the music schools. For the community, I have created "The Kosen-Rufu Foundation" which is the parent of my non-musician, community based workshop, "Rhythm, Sound and Motion Experience," a worshop for all ages to develop self-confidence and group working skills. I am also involved in the creatin of the Opera "SWEAT" with classical composer David Dramm and artist and visionary Hilarius Hofstede.
How did your collaboration with Adam Rudulph come about?
Adam invited me to join a musical project celebrating the 85th birthday of Musical legend Yusef Lateef, culminating in a concdert at Lincoln Center in NYC, a CD release, and tours in California and throughout Europe. Later, Adam invited me to Morrocco to perform with Hamid Drake and Gnawan musicians at the Gnawa festival in Essoeira, Morroco. We later performed as a duo in NY and in a trio on tour throught Europe with Omar Sosa. We always envisioned developing our duet concept because of our innate understanding of organic improvisation. He is one of the few musicians whom I share a rare improvisational language spanning the entire diaspora of sound. His musical and philosophical talent is wide, encompassing a universe of knowledge. I joined Adam most recently with his flagship band, "Moving Pictures," featuring Ralph Jones on saxophone and an assortment of incredible musicians from around the globe.
What can folks expect or not expect at Sunday night's show?
The audience can expect the "Un-expected," original concepts and interpretations of musical genres, new and old, spanning the imagination and depth of the universe.
What's it like visiting Frederick these days?
It is always a return to forever... Home. I still own a house together with my brother, Byron Bowie. Frederick holds a special place in my heart as a starting point for my evolution to today. I feel humble and happy to return and merge energy with family members and friends.
What deep is your family's connection to that area?
The Bowies have lived in the Frederick area since the emancipation of the slaves in the mid-1800s. "Robert Bowie" my great, great, great, great Grandfather, was a freedman and it is rumored of owning slaves himself. Our home is built on the original land where my father and siblings grew up. Our current home stands on the land of the original log cabin that housed my Grandparents and 9 siblings. Several relatives still live in the area on Bartonsville Road. As a child, we spent most summers there. As my mother and father aged, they decided to purchase the sacred family land there and move from St. Louis. My mother died (1982) before she was able to live there, but my father spent the rest of his life (died in 2000) there with myself and brothers.
I'd heard that Lester wanted to retire to Frederick and just fish. Is that true?
Yes, He had a beautiful log house built on the property. It was a dream of his to return to his Frederick roots. He is the only sibling of my parents born in Frederick. Unfortunately, he also died (1999) before being able to live in his dream house. His spirit is always alive there... the family has a small grave yard and I visit monuments to Lester, my parents, and all family members when I am there.

From The True Levellers' Standard Advanced1 (1649)aIn the beginning of time, the great Creator, Reason, made the earth to be a common treasury, to preserve beasts, birds, fishes, and man, the lord that was to govern this creation. For man had domination given to him over the beasts, birds, and fishes. But not one word was spoken in the beginning, that one branch of mankind should rule over another. And the reason is this. Every single man, male and female, is a perfect creature of himself. And the same Spirit that made the globe dwells in man to govern the globe; so that the flesh of man, being subject to Reason, his Maker, hath him to be his teacher and ruler within himself, therefore needs not run abroad after any teacher and ruler without him. . . . But since human flesh . . . began to delight himself in the objects of the creation more than in the Spirit Reason and Righteousness, who manifests himself to be the indweller in the five senses . . .; then he fell into blindness of mind and weakness of heart, and runs abroad for a teacher and ruler, and so selfish imaginations, taking possession of the five senses, and ruling as king in the room of Reason therein, and working with covetousness, did set up one man to teach and rule over another. And thereby the Spirit was killed, and man was brought into bondage and became a greater slave to such of his own kind than the beasts of the field were to him. And hereupon the earth, which was made to be a common treasury of relief for all, both beasts and men, was hedged into enclosures by the teachers and rulers, and the others were made servants and slaves. And that earth that is within this creation made a common storehouse for all, is bought and sold and kept in the hands of a few; whereby the great Creator is mightily dishonoured: as if he were a respecter of persons, delighting in the comfortable livelihood of some, and rejoicing in the miserable poverty and straits of others. From the beginning it was not so. * * * But for the present state of the old world, that is running up like parchment in the fire and wearing away, we see proud imaginary flesh, which is the wise serpent, rises up in flesh and gets dominion in some to rule over others, and so forces one part of the creation, man, to be a slave to another. And thereby the Spirit is killed in both. The one looks upon himself as a teacher and ruler, and so is lifted up in pride over his fellow creature. The other looks upon himself as imperfect, and so is dejected in his spirit, and looks upon his fellow creature, of his own image, as a lord above him. And thus Esau, the man of flesh, which is covetousness and pride, hath killed Jacob, the spirit of meekness, and righteous government in the light of reason, and rules over him. And so the earth that was made a common treasury for all to live comfortably upon, is become, through man's unrighteous actions one over another, to be a place wherein one torments another. Now the great Creator, who is the Spirit Reason, suffered himself thus to be rejected and trodden under foot by the covetous, proud flesh, for a certain time limited. Therefore saith he: The seed out of whom the creation did proceed, which is myself, shall bruise this serpent's head, and restore my creation again from this curse and bondage; and when I, the King of Righteousness, reigns in every man, I will be the blessing of the earth, and the joy of all nations. And . . . the earth hath been enclosed and given to the elder brother Esau, or man of flesh, and hath been bought and sold from one to another; and Jacob, or the younger brother, that is to succeed or come forth next, who is the universal spreading power of righteousness that gives liberty to the whole creation, is made a servant. And this elder son, or man of bondage, hath held the earth in bondage to himself, not by a meek law of righteousness, but by subtle selfish counsels, and by open and violent force. For wherefore is it that there is such wars and rumours of wars in the nations of the earth? And wherefore are men so mad to destroy one another? But only to uphold civil propriety of honour, dominion and riches one over another, which is the curse the creation groans under, waiting for deliverance. But when once the earth becomes a common treasury again—as it must; for all the prophecies of scriptures and reason are circled here in this community, and mankind must have the law of righteousness once more writ in his heart, and all must be made of one heart and one mind—then this enmity in all lands will cease. For none shall dare to seek a dominion over others; neither shall any dare to kill another, nor desire more of the earth than another. For he that will rule over, imprison, oppress, and kill his fellow creatures under what pretence soever, is a destroyer of the creation and an actor of the curse, and walks contrary to the rule of righteousness: Do as you would have others do to you; and love your enemies, not in words, but in actions. Therefore you powers of the earth, or Lord Esau, the elder brother, because you have appeared to rule the creation, first take notice that the power that sets you to work is selfish covetousness, and an aspiring pride to live in glory and ease over Jacob, the meek spirit; that is, the seed that lies hid in and among the poor common people, or younger brother, out of whom the blessing of deliverance is to rise and spring up to all nations. And Reason, the living King of Righteousness, doth only look on and lets thee alone, that whereas thou counts thyself an angel of light, thou shalt appear in the light of the Sun to be a devil . . . and the curse that the creation groans under. And the time is now come for thy downfall; and Jacob must rise, who is the universal spirit of love and righteousness that fills, and will fill, all the earth. * * * [After reproaching 'the powers of England' with their failure to make 'this people a free people,' with their having indeed, through their 'self-seeking humour,' increased its bondage, the pamphlet proceeds:] Surely thou must not do this great work of advancing the creation out of bondage; for thou art lost extremely, and drowned in the sea of covetousness, pride, and hardness of heart. The blessing shall rise out of the dust which thou treadest under foot, even the poor despised people, and they shall hold up salvation to this land, and to all lands, and thou shalt be ashamed. * * * The work we are going about is this: to dig up George's Hill and the waste ground thereabouts, and to sow corn, and to eat our bread together by the sweat of our brows.1 And the first reason is this. That we may work in righteousness, and lay the foundation of making the earth a common treasury for all, both rich and poor. That every one that is born in the land may be fed by the earth, his mother that brought him forth, according to the reason that rules in the creation, not enclosing any part into any particular hand, but all as one man working together, and feeding together as sons of one father, members of one family; not one lording over another, but all looking upon each other as equals in the creation. So that our Maker may be glorified in the work of his own hands, and that every one may see he is no respecter of persons, but equally loves his whole creation, and hates nothing but the serpent. Which is covetousness, branching forth into selfish imagination, pride, envy, hypocrisy, uncleanness, all seeking the ease and honour of flesh, and fighting against the Spirit Reason that made the creation. For that is the corruption, the curse, the devil, the father of lies, death and bondage—that serpent and dragon that the creation is to be delivered from. And we are moved hereunto for that reason, and others which hath been showed us, both by vision, voice, and revelation. For it is showed us, that so long as we or any other doth own the earth to be the peculiar interest of lords and landlords, and not common to others as well as them, we own the curse thata holds the creation under bondage. And so long as we or any other doth own landlords and tenants, for one to call the land his, or another to hire it of him, or for one to give hire, and for another to work for hire; this is to dishonour the work of creation—as if the righteous Creator should have respect to persons, and therefore made the earth for some, and not for all. * * * And that this civil propriety is the curse, is manifest thus. Those that buy and sell land and are landlords, have got it either by oppression or murder or theft; and all landlords live in the breach of the Seventh and Eighth Commandments, Thou shalt not steal, nor kill. First by their oppression. They have, by their subtle, imaginary, and covetous wit, got the plain-hearted poor, or younger brethren, to work for them for small wages, and by their work have got a great increase; for the poor by their labour lifts up tyrants to rule over them. Or else by their covetous wit, they have outreached the plain-hearted in buying and selling, and thereby enriched themselves but impoverished others. Or else by their subtle wit, having been alifted upb into places of trust, [they] have enforced people to pay money for a public use, but have divided much of it into their private purses, and so have got it by oppression. Then, secondly, for murder. They have by subtle wit and power pretended to preserve a people in safety by the power of the sword. And what by large pay, much free-quarter, and other booties which they call their own, they get much moneys, and with this they buy land and become landlords. And if once landlords, then they rise to be justices, rulers, and state governors, as experience shows. But all this is but a bloody and subtle thievery, countenanced by a law that covetousness made; and is a breach of the Seventh Commandment, Thou shalt not kill. And likewise, thirdly, a breach of the Eighth Commandment, Thou shalt not steal. But these landlords have thus stolen the earth from their fellow creatures, that have an equal share with them by the law of reason and creation, as well as they. And such as these rise up to be rich in the objects of the earth. Then, by their plausible words of flattery to the plain-hearted people, whom they deceive, and that lies under confusion and blindness, they are lifted up to be teachers, rulers, and lawmakers over them that lifted them up; as if the earth were made peculiarly for them, and not for others' weal. If you cast your eye a little backward, you shall see that this outward teaching and ruling power is the Babylonish yoke laid upon Israel of old, under Nebuchadnezzar. And so successively from that time the conquering enemy have still laid these yokes upon Israel, to keep Jacob down. And the last enslaving conquest which the enemy got over Israel, was the Norman over England. And from that time kings, lords, judges, justices, bailiffs, and the violent bitter people that are freeholders, are and have been successively: the Norman bastard William himself, his colonels, captains, inferior officers, and common soldiers, who still are from that time to this day in pursuit of that victory, imprisoning, robbing, and killing the poor enslaved English Israelites. And this appears clear. For when any trustee or state officer is to be chosen, the freeholders or landlords must be the choosers, who are the Norman common soldiers spread abroad in the land. And who must be chosen but some very rich man who is the successor of the Norman colonels or high officers? And to what end have they been thus chosen but to establish that Norman power the more forcibly over the enslaved English, and to beat them down again whenas they gather heart to seek for liberty? For what are all those binding and restraining laws that have been made from one age to another since that conquest, and are still upheld by fury over the people? I say, what are they but the cords, bands, manacles, and yokes that the enslaved English, like Newgate prisoners, wears upon their hands and legs as they walk the streets; by which those Norman oppressors, and these their successors from age to age, have enslaved the poor people by, killed their younger brother, and would not suffer Jacob to arise? * * * It is showed us, that all the prophecies, visions and revelations of scriptures, of Prophets and Apostles, concerning the calling of the Jews, the restoration of Israel, and making of that people the inheritors of the whole earth, doth all seat themselves in this work of making the earth a common treasury; as you may read: Ezek. 24. 26-7, &c.; Jer. 33. 7-12; Isa. 49. 17-18, &c.; Zech. 8. 4-12; Dan. 2. 44-5; 7. 27; Hos. 14. 5-7; Joel 2. 26-7; Amos 9. 8 to the end; Obad. 17, 18, 21; Mic. 5. 7 to the end; Hab. 2. 6, 7; 8. 13, 14; Gen. 18. 18; Rom. 11. 15; Zeph. 3. &c.; Zech. 14. 9. And when the Son of Man was gone from the Apostles, his Spirit descended upon the Apostles and Brethren as they were waiting at Jerusalem; and the rich men sold their possessions and gave part to the poor, and no man said that aught that he possessed was his own, for they had all things common (Acts 4. 32). Now this community was suppressed by covetous, proud flesh, which was the powers that ruled the world. And the righteous Father suffered himself thus to be suppressed for a time, times and dividing of time, or for forty-two months, or for three days and an half, which are all but one and the same term of time. And the world is now come to the half day; and the Spirit of Christ, which is the Spirit of universal community and freedom, is risen, and is rising, and will rise higher and higher, till those pure waters of Shiloa, the well-springs of life and liberty to the whole creation, do overrun . . . those banks of bondage, curse, and slavery. * * * Another voice that was heard was this: Israel shall neither take hire nor give hire. And if so, then certainly none shall say, 'This is my land; work for me and I'll give you wages.' For the earth is the Lord's; that is man's, who is lord of the creation, in every branch of mankind. For as divers members of our human bodies make but one body perfect, so every particular man is but a member or branch of mankind; and mankind, living in the light and obedience to Reason, the King of Righteousness, is thereby made a fit and complete lord of the creation. And the whole earth is this Lord's man, subject to the Spirit, and not the inheritance of covetous, proud flesh that is selfish, and enmity to the Spirit. * * * That which does encourage us to go on in this work is this. We find the streaming out of love in our hearts towards all, to enemies as well as friends. We would have none live in beggary, poverty, or sorrow, but that every one might enjoy the benefit of his creation. We have peace in our hearts, and quiet rejoicing in our work, and [are] filled with sweet content though we have but a dish of roots and bread for our food. And we are assured that, in the strength of this Spirit that hath manifested himself to us, we shall not be startled, neither at prison nor death, while we are about his work. And we have been made to sit down and count what it may cost us in undertaking such a work. And we know the full sum, and are resolved to give all that we have to buy this pearl which we see in the field. For by this work, we are assured, and reason makes it appear to others, that bondage shall be removed, tears wiped away, and all poor people by their righteous labours shall be relieved and freed from poverty and straits. For in this work of restoration there will be no beggar in Israel. For surely, if there was no beggar in literal Israel, there shall be no beggar in spiritual Israel, the antitype, much more. * * *
