ESSAY: Doc Watson
Remembering Arthel Lane "Doc" Watson
March 3, 1923-May 29, 2012
I almost met Doc Watson—in fact, I almost visited him at his house in Deep Gap, North Carolina. It was June 1984, and I had recently arrived in the northwestern corner of North Carolina to work as a summer seasonal park ranger on the Blue Ridge Parkway. My landlords—a family who owned the farm on which I was renting a small trailer—knew Doc personally, because Doc was part of their community; during the 1950s they had heard him perform regularly around Watauga County, particularly on the streets of Boone, North Carolina. They called Doc to see if he might allow me, a young man from the city who sang old songs and played old-time banjo, to visit him at his home. His wife said yes, I could visit Doc the following week after he returned from his current tour.
"Tennessee Stud"
At the time I was a starry-eyed fan of Appalachian music and something of a self-styled purist, in that I preferred traditional music styles to more commercial reinterpretations of older material. I had developed a rather restrictive personal aesthetic that placed the music of long-dead, sometimes completely obscure performers in higher esteem than the music of well-known, contemporary musicians. By 1984, perhaps only two living Appalachian musicians were incontestably on my list of favorite musicians: Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson, both of whom were stalwarts of old-style mountain music yet who maintained strong presences on the contemporary music scene.
Interview: "I played like the rest of the boys..."
Further connecting these luminaries of the urban folk revival was the fact that they had made an album together: 1963's Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson at Folk City on Folkways Records. By 1984, though, Ritchie's recording and performing career had slowed considerably, whereas Doc's career was arguably at its peak, as he was frequently headlining concerts in major venues across the U.S., usually in conjunction with his son Merle (a gifted guitarist whose playing and personality perfectly complemented Doc's). For me, meeting Doc Watson—particularly at his home—would have been a dream come true, but Doc's wife called my landlords the day before my planned visit to report that Doc, who had just returned from his tour, said no to inviting guests to their house—he needed some rest.
"Beaumont Rag"
I remember feeling disappointment and sadness—perhaps even a vague sense of rejection—at not being able to meet the master. Growing up in Washington, D.C., I was initially introduced to the music of rural America through records. The first such recording I stumbled upon—in perhaps 1967—was The Folk Box, a multi-album 1964 compilation from the Elektra label, and the sole release in my parents' record collection that contained traditional rural American music. That box set featured tracks from folk revivalist performers alongside recordings by more traditional musicians. From my first listen to that sprawling collection, one track captured my imagination: Clarence "Tom" Ashley's mesmerizing 1962 version of "The Coo-Coo Bird." I initially focused on Ashley's ethereal voice and chiming modal banjo, yet with multiple listenings I couldn't help but notice the distinctive guitar accompaniment. It was played by Doc Watson. While Ashley sounded as if he was echoing out of some remote past, that guitar playing was modern, forceful yet controlled, even refined in its execution. Doc's playing was different in terms of style and technique from everything else on The Folk Box, a compilation bursting at the seams with recordings showcasing all manner of guitar accompaniment.
"Raincrow Bill Goes up Cripple Creek"
I learned that the track on the Elektra box set was licensed from the Folkways label. Doc, a generation younger than Ashley, had performed with the veteran performer at the behest of Ralph Rinzler. A folklorist and a folk music promoter, Rinzler traveled to the Blue Ridge in 1961 to document the music repertoire associated with Ashley and several friends and neighbors, beginning with recordings made at Ashley's house near the Tennessee-North Carolina border and continuing with recordings from subsequent concerts held in Chicago and Los Angeles. The resulting two albums, released as Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's, Vols. 1 and 2 by Folkways Records in 1961 and 1963, introduced countless music fans during the waning years of the urban folk revival to a large storehouse of traditional music; perhaps more importantly, those albums introduced Doc Watson to the world.
Interview: The Legend of Tom Dooley:
A couple of years after learning about Doc Watson from The Folk Box, I realized the extent of my penchant for older music upon becoming repulsed by the phony folksiness of the Kingston Trio's chart-topping 1958 hit version of "Tom Dooley" (another record in my parents' collection). Wanting to locate and listen to more "authentic" versions of that blood-soaked ballad of the North Carolina Blue Ridge, I headed to the local public library and heard three versions of "Tom Dooley" by actual Appalachian musicians: one by Grayson and Whitter, one by Frank Proffitt Sr., and another by Doc Watson. Seeking more information about the latter musician, I learned that by then—the late 1960s—Doc had become a nationally renowned musician who toured frequently as a headlining act and who had recorded a number of critically acclaimed and varied albums for the Vanguard label. I learned that Doc, who had been blind since the age of one, was not only a virtuoso on both flat-picked and finger-style acoustic guitar, but he could also play old-time banjo and harmonica with assurance and power. I learned that he could sing with warmth and conviction, and that his voice could handle a wide range of material with equal authority, from traditional mountain songs and ballads to hymns to blues to commercial country and pop songs. And I learned that he was a difficult musician to categorize, as he was equally adept in performing music from a wide range of genres—traditional folk, contemporary singer-songwriter music, blues, bluegrass, gospel, country, and rock, not to mention jazz and Tin Pan Alley. After listening to several of his Vanguard albums—and particularly after being astonished by his titanic guest appearance on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's groundbreaking 1972 album Will the Circle Be Unbroken—I came to the conclusion that Doc's performances were consistently rooted in his Appalachian experience yet were always universal in their appeal.
"Tom Dooley"
When I first journeyed to Doc's neck of the woods, I had long appreciated both his musical virtuosity and his artistic and spiritual philosophy—his unapologetic blending of the past with the present, of rural Appalachian cultural values with contemporary cosmopolitan sensibilities. Doc's philosophy was certainly a major influence on my own decision to study and teach American folk music and Appalachian culture. Eventually moving permanently to the mountains on the Tennessee-North Carolina border, I became Doc's neighbor. I continued to buy Doc's albums, and I heard Doc perform live in nearby venues on several occasions—the last time in 2009 at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina, where Doc reminisced about his life and music career as much as he performed music; but I never again tried to meet him.
"Stand By Me"
Often over the years, after I performed folk music or gave talks about Appalachian culture, people asked me if I knew Doc Watson. I always answered "no, I've never met him"; but in truth, because his music and his life have seemingly always been a source of inspiration to me, I knew Doc, and I'll miss him.

The former 'High School Musical' star plays a pregnant homeless teen in the drama 'Gimme Shelter.'
Vanessa Hudgens is a young woman on a quest.
The 25-year-old actress has devoted most of her adult life to seeking an answer to the burning show business question – "Is there life after Disney?"
Many have tried, but only a relative few have succeeded. Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling and Christina Aguilera are the exceptions, and not the rule.
There is no guarantee that early stardom in Disney movies or on the Disney Channel will translate into a long career as an adult actor, but Hudgens, who starred as Gabriella Montez in Disney's three "High School Musical" movies, believes that she is on the right track. First came "The Frozen Ground" and then the controversial "Spring Breakers," and now she enters into evidence the film "Gimme Shelter," in which an unrecognizable Hudgens plays a homeless teen dealing with an unwanted pregnancy.
With her long hair chopped off, no makeup, rumpled oversized clothes and 15 pounds added onto a model-thin frame, Hudgens looks nothing like the young, beautiful actress who grew up in the San Diego area, attended Orange County High School for the Arts for two years and burst onto the Hollywood scene with Disney.
She plays the pregnant daughter of an abusive drug addict (played by Rosario Dawson). Her character, a composite of two real girls discovered by writer-director Ron Krauss, is searching for her biological father (Brendan Fraser) but winds up a resident of a home for teenage mothers run by Kathy DiFiore (played by Ann Dowd).
Hudgens will explain why she went to such lengths to lose herself in this character, and how she deals with the unsavory trappings of fame that come with being the target of tabloids and the paparazzi. Then she will answer the $64,000 question – "Is there life after Disney?"
Q. Describe your first rush of fame?
A.I grew up in a really small town and started doing theater at very young age, so I guess in my small world, I had a certain measure of stardom at a very early age. Of course, "High School Musical" really brought it on.
Q.What was it like to be in that kind of hot light?
A. It was a whirlwind. I had never experienced anything like that, and I was young. I didn't understand what was happening to me. I was traveling the world with my friends, and we had to talk about this thing that we were doing for fun. Of course, it was all good at first. I didn't realize how crazy it was starting to become. Privacy just went out the window. I really loved having my privacy. That loss of privacy was something I had to get used to. It's still something I have to get used to.
Q. Is it really something you continue to deal with?
A. Yes. You expect people to have respect, but that line occasionally gets crossed and people like to lie and make up stories. It's silly. How do you get used to people looking in your windows? You're supposed to have a place to get away. It's been a problem for a long time, and it doesn't seem to ever go away.
Q.Does all this prying ever make the career not worth it?
A.No. I love what I do too much.

Tennessee's efforts to sign people up for insurance on healthcare.gov improved somewhat last month. Still, the state, like most others, remains far behind federal goals set before the botched roll-out.
Back in October, only a thousand Tennesseans managed to get signed up for a private plan. From that low benchmark, November was a big improvement, raising the total to 45 hundred. And thousands more were told they qualify for Medicaid.
Sharon Barker works as part of GetCoveredNashville, helping about 20 people a week sign up. Barker says many come in dreading the enrollment process, and wind up relieved.
"It's like they exhale, because they're holding their breath all this time, you know: 'What's going to happen?' and 'This is so confusing' and 'I keep hearing all these horror stories.' And when they finally talk to someone it's like this breath of 'Ah, ohhh, that's all?!'"
Most states are still far behind the goals federal officials set before enrollment started. By now they had hoped to have five times as many Tennesseans signed up.


text: http://www.todayschristianmusic.com/features/the-voice-box-vocal-health-tips/ performer's edge wiTh Tom JAckSon the voice box wiTh rAcheL FerGuSon Last month I told you about a singer/songwriter who wanted to know where he should be onstage when he delivers his songs. It's important that you remember to keep the integrity of the songs when you develop them for your live show. Do you play a song with a lot of energy? Logic tells me that your energetic song should not look like a ballad! Conceptually, you're creating a "movie" for your audience to see. So if you are a director and you have an action scene, that would not look the same as a touching, romantic scene, would it? It would be bombs blowing up, or cars going fast, or people running or whatever. But a touching scene would probably be done in a quiet, moonlit, intimate place. So if you bring a song that's an "action moment" in an intimate place, it won't make any sense to the audience. What they see won't match what they hear. Now, the audience doesn't know you're supposed to do something different. But, if you do, if you bring the appropriate movement to match the message of the song, the response to that song will be drastic. So you've got your five tools onstage, your placement and your angles—it all comes back to the fundamentals. You are the quarterback of your show. And if the only thing you do as the quarterback is to drop back three steps and then throw the ball every time, it'll get old. Your songs don't sound the same, so they shouldn't look the same! You need to learn the presentation part of your show: how to change pressure on the audience, and use the fundamentals to change your onstage position. If you knew that another place onstage was stronger to deliver a message from, or that standing or walking or using a headset, holding the mic, etc., would communicate your song more clearly, my guess is that you would do it. if you just knew WHat to do. Sitting on a stool for a 50 minute show is pretty much reserved for someone like Bob Dylan. He's married to his audience. Even James Taylor, a brilliant songwriter, stands up and sits down during his concerts. Repeat: Your songs don't sound the same, so they shouldn't look the same! Tom Jackson, #1 Live Music Producer in the industry, helps artists develop their show into "unique memorable moments!" A Live Music Producer does onstage with the live show, what a record producer does in the studio. Tom's Live Music Methods make your live show engaging, exceeding audience's expectations and creating fans for life. Many successful artists have learned from Tom: Taylor Swift, Jars of Clay, Jordin Sparks, Casting Crowns, Francesca Battistelli, Gloriana, and other acts you admire! For more info, go to www. onstagesuccess.com. Last month, we explored some basics of vocal health. Before leaving that topic completely, I'd like to bring your attention to April 16, 2011. It's a very important date! Anyone know what we celebrate??? World Voice Day! World Voice Day is the result of an initiative started by a group of Speech Language Pathologists (SLP's), physicians and singing teachers in Brazil. World Voice Day is widely observed in the clinical community, but is not as well known in the artistic/performance community. But, that changes now! So this year, on April 16, make an extra special effort to do something nice for your voice (maybe one of last month's tips?). Sing an extra song, and tell a friend about this year's World Voice Day theme, "We Share a Voice." Enough of that… The vocalist in me has dominated this column for the last several months, and now the music therapist is ready to burst out! I've been seeing music therapy all over the media lately and I wonder if you've noticed it, too. Since the tragic shooting of Congresswoman Giffords, music therapy has been discussed as part of her rehabilitation process. Music therapists are working with the Congresswoman and other victims of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) as part of their interdisciplinary therapeutic teams. They are using music to address goals in the areas of speech, communication and even motor skills! For more information about music therapy, and finding a music therapist in your area, I encourage you to visit the American Music Therapy Association website, www.amta.org. I hope that you are having a wonderful spring, and finding ways to honor the music within yourself in this season of renewal and hope. Happy Easter and many blessings.

From the private to the historic to the state-of-the-art, a lavish tour of some of the most notable stables in the country. A celebration of horses and their "lodgings," this exquisite book covers horse country across the United States--from the East Coast to the Bluegrass, the prairie and mountain ranches, and to the Pacific Coast--and traces the origins of twenty-five stunning stables, from their vernacular beginnings in the early nineteenth century to the contemporary designs of today. Included are a farm in the countryside near Saratoga Springs, New York, which bears an 1830s-constructed main barn that originally housed draft horses and now accommodates retired race horses turned polo ponies, and a world-renowned Arabian horse-breeding farm in Santa Ynez Valley, California, that resembles a spa and country club with Mediterranean-style architecture and landscaping and has in the stable courtyard a stone fountain reminiscent of the ubiquitous waterworks in Moorish palaces. Uniquely spectacular, each selection is a reflection of its regional heritage. Featuring all-new color photography, Stables showcases the best of America's diverse equine homes--a must-have for any horse or architecture enthusiast.
This hardcover book measures 9½ inches by 10½ inches. Published April 6, 2010.

This is the Modem World: How did this happen?
Each week Joshua Fruhlinger contributes This is the Modem World, a column dedicated to exploring the culture of consumer technology.
My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20. My second was an Apple //e. Every computer after that was an Apple: Mac SE, PowerBook 100, PowerBook G3, PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. I also use an iPhone 5. Yeah, I'm predictable.
But I'm not an Apple fanboy. I don't really care what kind of computer you use. Do your thing. I just know these products forwards and backwards and they don't get in the way when I want to get things done.
And now here I am at CES, and everywhere I look I'm seeing Apple products. iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, the whole lot. Sure, there are tons of Android and Windows devices, but if you had told me years ago that Apple would be everywhere at the year's biggest nerdvention, I would have said you were insane.

China's Uncertain Economic Future
TAIPEI ( TheStreet) -- The International Monetary Fund is estimating China grew 7.8% last year, within range of predictions that it would cool from more than an annual 9% over the past decade. The fever has passed.
Unless it hasn't.
Although the IMF also predicts 8.2% growth for China in 2013, the longer-term trend points toward quite a bit less. That's not just fallout from a turbulent global economy, though dulled export demand would have a lot to do with the 2012 figure.
It's because newly appointed central leaders want to rebalance the world's second-largest economy, to make it sustainable for China itself, by easing it away from growth steroids such as investment and commodity-intensive industry.Services and retail would wean China off these substances, which would meanwhile be throttled by stronger rules on getting capital and running an honest business. Drops of this new formula have already started to show. Domestic consumption, a core policy mission enshrined in the 2011-2015 Five-Year Plan, jumped from 37.3% to 51.6% of the GDP in 2011, a strong omen for services and retail. If the medicine really takes hold in the longer term, it would push China's annual economic growth into the 5%-6% range, predicts George Magnus, senior economic adviser with UBS Investment Bank in London. The Rx would get China over a BRIC wall, away from a looming middle-income trap and on the way to a more modern nation, he argues. The shift would fuel business for the foreign fast-food chains such as the ever-popular McDonald's (MCD) and Yoshinoya's (9891.T) Japanese noodle bowls and maybe someday, when the rules are more relaxed, for financial services such as those offered by Goldman Sachs (GS), known for its ability to make private equity deals in China despite a not-so-level playing field. Without a rebalancing -- also in the Five-Year Plan -- the old economic growth prescription will lead to overcapacity, poorer investment returns and more unpaid bank loans, Magnus says. Existing business rules and low interest rates will also make it too easy for developers or factories to grab money that should otherwise be injected into the country's under-medicated health-care system for the masses.

We're thrilled to announce that today is the launch of Oceana CEO Andy Sharpless's new book, The Perfect Protein! As the CEO of Oceana, Andy is dedicated to the protection of our world's oceans. Over the years, however, he realized that the work Oceana does to save the world's oceans was not just helping to preserve the oceans' biodiversity; it was also resulting in more food for people. In other words, it's a win-win: When we adopt practices that conserve and protect our oceans and the creatures in it, we also create stocks of healthy, nutritious protein for the people of our world.
Canary Islands Threatened by Oil Prospecting Plans
The Canary Islands are in the oil industry's crosshairs, and that spells danger for the area's marine habitats and wildlife.
In a new report, Oceana has denounced oil prospecting plans in the Canary Islands, highlighting the dangerous impact of these activities on cold-water coral reefs, deep sponge fields, hydrothermal vents, and nearly 100 protected species.
Spanish oil company Repsol is planning to prospect in the Canary Islands Channel, located off the northwest coast of Africa. The channel contains gas-based habitats that are protected under the Habitats Directive. These habitats support coral and sponge communities that would be destroyed by oil prospecting activity.
A total of 25 protected areas and 82 endangered species would be threatened by Repsol's prospecting activities. These include sea turtles, short finned pilot whales, angel sharks, bottlenose dolphins, and a variety of fish.
The International Maritime Organization has declared the Canary Islands a Particularly Sensitive Area for its biological wealth and its economic dependence. This status affords the islands' strict protection in terms of waste and pollution.
The Canary Islands is an archipelago supported by fishing and tourism. Both of these industries rely on the islands' high biodiversity—more than 600 species and 350 communities and habitats. Oil prospecting would interfere with fishing and tourism, and reduce the biodiversity of the area.

In addition to the endorsement from the Charity Navigator, Oceana has also been accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) as a charity that meets all 20 standards for Charity Accountability. This endorsement is a formal recognition that Oceana has undergone a detailed review process and meets the highest operational, financial and ethical standards for charity accountability.
So as you and your loved ones plan your end-of-year giving, keep Oceana in mind. You'll be able to rest assured knowing your dollars are doing good for the oceans.

According to Charity Navigator CEO Ken Berger, "only 13% of the 5,500 charities we rate have received at least 3 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Oceana consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America." He also stated that the designation "differentiates Oceana from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust".

I think our nice summer is well and truly over now, there's even been flash floods the country over and the wind is whistling about out there, along with the heavy rain - there was no way I could have taken this photo outside, hence the bad angle and lack of head - as well as the glimpse of my room. All of which I've got to look forward to in Wales, I suppose! At least it snows sometimes too. Saying that, the sun burst through the clouds five minutes after I took this... grr. Tonight I went to a greek restaurant with Edd's family to celebrate his sister's and stepdad's birthdays - it was really nice except there was a dead fly in my chips. Ick.

OBJECT OF THE MONTH – June 2010
Circumcision outfit of the composer Karel Reiner
The Czech composer, pianist and music journalist Karel Reiner was born in the town of Žatec (Saaz) in Bohemia on 27 June 1910. His father Josef Reiner (1872–1942) was the chief cantor of the local synagogue where his son Karel, in July 1910, underwent the circumcision ritual (usually performed eights days after a boy's birth) that marks a Jewish boy's covenant with God.
Karel Reiner received his first music lessons from his father, a singing graduate from the Vienna Conservatory, and developed his talents in Prague, where – in addition to studying law in 1928–33 – he devoted his time to private study under the direction of Alois Hába (music theory and composition, 1929–30) and Josef Suk (1930–31) at the Master School of Composition. He continued his education in Hába's Department of Quarter-Tone Music at the Prague Conservatory (where he graduated in 1935, composing Fantasy for Quarter-Tone Piano) and by studying musicology at the Arts Faculty of Charles University (1934–35).
Before the war, Karel Reiner worked as a pianist and composer of stage music for E. F. Burian's Theatre D 35–39 and as a solo and accompanying pianist at home and abroad. After the Nazi occupation, however, he had to give up all public appearances because he was of Jewish descent. For racial reasons, his name could not be printed in the 1939–40 publication Špalíček národních písní a říkadel (a collection of national songs and rhymes), which he cowrote with A. Hába and J. Seidl. After marrying the translator Hana Reinerová, his wartime experiences began when he was deported with his wife to Terezín in July 1943, from where he was sent to Auschwitz in 1944 and finally to Dachau. Both he and his wife, who went through Auschwitz, Freiberg and Mauthausen, survived the sufferings of the war.
After the war, Karel Reiner focused mainly on composition (282 large and small-scale works, mostly instrumental), piano performances, publication work and organizational activities, particularly at the Association of Czechoslovak Composers and at the Czech Music Foundation. He worked as a freelance composer from 1961 onwards and was appointed a merited artist in 1967. He died in Prague in 1979. His wife Hana donated his circumcision outfit to the Jewish Museum in Prague in 2004.

Human experience on the territory of present-day Russia dates back to
Paleolithic times. Greek traders conducted extensive commerce with Scythian
tribes around the shores of the Black Sea and the Crimean region. In the
third century B.C., Scythians were displaced by Sarmatians, who in turn
were overrun by waves of Germanic Goths. In the third century A.D., Asiatic
Huns replaced the Goths and were in turn conquered by Turkic Avars in the
sixth century. By the ninth century, Eastern Slavs began to settle in what
are now the Ukraine, Belarus, and the Novgorod and Smolensk regions.
In 862, the political entity known as Kievan Rus was established in
what is now Ukraine and lasted until the 12th century. In the 10th century,
Christianity became the state religion under Vladimir, who adopted Greek
Orthodox rites. Consequently, Byzantine culture predominated, as is evident
in much of Russia's architectural, musical, and artistic heritage. Over
the next centuries, various invaders assaulted the Kievan state and, finally,
Mongols under Batu Khan destroyed the main population centers except for
Novgorod and Pskov and prevailed over the region until 1480.
In the post-Mongol period, Muscovy gradually became the dominant principality
and was able, through diplomacy and conquest, to establish suzerainty over
European Russia. Ivan III (1462-1505) was able to refer to his empire as
"the Third Rome" and heir to the Byzantine tradition, and a century later
the Romanov dynasty was established under Tsar Mikhail in 1613.
During Peter the Great's reign (1689-1725), Russia began modernizing,
and European influences spread in Russia. Peter created Western-style military
forces, subordinated the Russian Orthodox Church hierarchy to the tsar,
reformed the entire governmental structure, and established the beginnings
of a Western-style education system. His introduction of European customs
generated nationalistic resentments in society and spawned the philosophical
rivalry between "Westernizers" and nationalistic "Slavophiles" that remains
a key dynamic of current Russian social and political thought.
Catherine the Great continued Peter~ez_rsquo~s expansionist policies and established
Russia as a continental power. During her reign (1762-96), power was centralized
in the monarchy, and administrative reforms concentrated great wealth and
privilege in the hands of the Russian nobility.
Napoleon failed in his attempt in 1812 to conquer Russia after occupying
Moscow; his defeat and the continental order that emerged following the
Congress of Vienna (1814-15) set the stage for Russia and Austria-Hungary
to dominate the affairs of Eastern Europe for the next century.
During the 19th century, the Russian Government sought to suppress repeated
attempts at reform from within. Its economy failed to compete with those
of Western countries. Russian cities were growing without an industrial
base to generate employment, although emancipation of the serfs in 1861
foreshadowed urbanization and rapid industrialization late in the century.
At the same time, Russia expanded across Siberia until the port of Vladivostok
was opened on the Pacific coast in 1860. The Trans-Siberian Railroad opened
vast frontiers to development late in the century. In the 19th century,
Russian culture flourished as Russian artists made significant contributions
to world literature, visual arts, dance, and music.
Imperial decline was evident in Russia's defeat in the unpopular Russo-Japanese
war in 1905. Subsequent civic disturbances forced Tsar Nicholas II to grant
a constitution and introduce limited democratic reforms. The government
suppressed opposition and manipulated popular anger into anti-Semitic pogroms.
Attempts at economic reform, such as land reform, were incomplete.
1917 Revolution and the U.S.S.R.
The ruinous effects of World War I, combined with internal pressures,
sparked the March 1917 uprising that led Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate
the throne. A provisional government came to power, headed by Aleksandr
Kerenskiy. On November 7, 1917, the Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin,
seized control and established the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic.
Civil war broke out in 1918 between Lenin's "Red" army and various "White"
forces and lasted until 1920, when, despite foreign interventions, the
Bolsheviks triumphed. After the Red army conquered Ukraine, Belorussia,
Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia, a new nation, the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics (U.S.S.R.), was formed in 1922.
The U.S.S.R. lasted 69 years. In the 1930s, tens of millions of its
citizens were collectivized under state agricultural and industrial enterprises.
Millions died in political purges, the vast penal and labor system, or
in state-created famines. During World War II, 20 million Soviet citizens
died. In 1949, the U.S.S.R. developed its own nuclear arsenal.
First among its political figures was Lenin, leader of the Bolshevik
Party and head of the first Soviet Government, who died in 1924. In the
late 1920s, Josif Stalin emerged as General Secretary of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) amidst intraparty rivalries; he maintained
complete control over Soviet domestic and international policy until his
death in 1953. His successor, Nikita Khrushchev, served as Communist Party
leader until he was ousted in 1964. Aleksey Kosygin became Chairman of
the Council of Ministers, and Leonid Brezhnev was made First Secretary
of the CPSU Central Committee in 1964. But in 1971, Brezhnev rose to become
"first among equals" in a collective leadership. Brezhnev died in 1982
and was succeeded by Yuriy Andropov (1982-84), Konstantin Chernenko (1984-85),
and Mikhail Gorbachev, who resigned as Soviet President on December 25,
1991. On December 26, 1991, the U.S.S.R. was formally dissolved.
The Russian Federation
After the December 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russian
Federation became its largest successor state, inheriting its permanent
seat on the UN Security Council, as well as the bulk of its foreign assets
and debt.
Boris Yeltsin was elected President of Russia by popular vote in June
1991. By the fall of 1993, politics in Russia reached a stalemate between
President Yeltsin and the parliament. The parliament had succeeded in blocking,
overturning, or ignoring the President's initiatives on drafting a new
constitution, conducting new elections, and making further progress on
democratic and economic reforms.
In a dramatic speech in September 1993, President Yeltsin dissolved
the Russian parliament and called for new national elections and a new
constitution. The standoff between the executive branch and opponents in
the legislature turned violent in October after supporters of the parliament
tried to instigate an armed insurrection. Yeltsin ordered the army to respond
with force to capture the parliament building (known as the White House).
In December 1993, voters elected a new parliament and approved a new
constitution that had been drafted by the Yeltsin government. Yeltsin remained
the dominant political figure, although a broad array of parties, including
ultra-nationalists, liberals, agrarians, and communists, had substantial
representation in the parliament and competed actively in elections at
all levels of government.
In late 1994, the Russian security forces launched a brutal operation
in the Republic of Chechnya against rebels who were intent on separation
from Russia. Along with their opponents, Russian forces committed numerous
violations of human rights. The Russian Army used heavy weapons against
civilians. Tens of thousands of them were killed and more than 500,000
displaced during the course of the war. The protracted conflict, which
received close scrutiny in the Russian media, raised serious human rights
and humanitarian concerns abroad as well as within Russia.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts to institute a cease-fire, in August
1996 the Russian and Chechen authorities negotiated a settlement that resulted
in a complete withdrawal of Russian troops and the holding of elections
in January 1997. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE) played a major role in facilitating the negotiation. A peace treaty
was concluded in May 1997. Following an August 1999 attack into Dagestan
by Chechen separatists and the September 1999 bombings of two apartment
buildings in Moscow, the federal government launched a military campaign
into Chechnya. Russian authorities accused the Chechen government of failing
to stop the growth of the rebels' activities and failure to curb widespread
banditry and hostage-taking in the republic. By spring 2000, federal forces
claimed control over Chechen territory, but fighting continues as rebel
fighters regularly ambush Russian forces in the region.
On December 31, 1999 Boris Yeltsin resigned, and Vladimir Putin was
named Acting President.
Duma elections were held most recently on December 7, 2003, and presidential
elections on March 14, 2004. The pro-government party, United Russia, won
close to half of the seats in the Duma. Combined with its allies, it controls
a two-thirds majority. The OSCE judged the Duma elections as failing to
meet international standards for fairness, due largely to extensive slanted
media bias in the campaign. In the March 2000 presidential election Vladimir
Putin--named Acting President following the December 31, 1999 resignation
of Boris Yeltsin--was elected in the first round with 53% of the vote.
Putin was re-elected to another four-year term with 71% of the vote in
March 2004. The Russian constitution does not allow presidents to serve
more than two consecutive terms.

BJ'S BLOG 07/25/14 "My BFF Had An Affair With My Brother"
by BJ Shea
posted Jul 25 2014 7:22AM
Happy Friday, gang! Before you head out for the weekend, we could sure use some help over here in Group Therapy!
A Rock-A-Holic named Nicole is looking for some advice. It seems that her best friend and her brother had an affair, and even worse – Nicole's sister-in-law caught them! Nicole's brother and his wife eventually reconciled, but that recovery came with the condition that Nicole's BFF had to be cut out of everyone's life altogether.
This isn't just a casual stipulation: Anyone who is still in contact with Nicole's friend is regarded as no longer being a friend of the couple, and is not allowed in their home. This includes Nicole, of course, and even though she doesn't condone the affair, she's feeling pretty upset about the whole situation.
Nicole can't call or email her old friend; if she does, she will be cut off completely from her brother and his family – that includes their kids, too – and the sister-in-law is actually angry that Nicole still misses her friend.
I can understand the brother's wife insisting that her husband avoid the woman he had an affair with, but declaring it a law for everyone else seems pretty harsh. Did the couple go to counseling? Sounds like a "no" to me, because I can't imagine a professional counselor would ever dispense this kind of advice, or even go along with it.
Infidelity is a huge thing, and I don't think you can sort out the damage without therapy of some kind. There's a lack of perspective between the two parties in that situation, and you can't fully unpack that mess without a thoughtful, impartial third party.
Maybe it's just me, but I think it sounds like the situation is out of control. Let's hear it from you, folks! What advice do you have for Nicole?

Many people will experience side effects from HIV medication and may also have conditions relating to their HIV status. People also need support and information to help them come to terms with an HIV diagnosis and manage their condition effectively.
HIV treatment is sometimes referred to as ART ('antiretroviral treatment), ARVs ('antiretrovirals') or HAART ('highly active antiretroviral therapy').
Thanks to advances in treatment, people living with HIV are enjoying longer and healthier lives than ever before. Antiretrovirals are the class of drugs used to treat HIV, which block the virus in different ways. Usually a combination of two or three antiretrovirals is used and most people will only need to take drugs once or twice a day.
People living with HIV need to keep strictly to their treatment regime, which is known as 'adherence'. Taking the drugs in the right way and at the right time is very important; missing a dose of anti-HIV medication can lead to drug resistance. At least 95% adherence to treatment is needed to avoid this from happening. The more drugs a person becomes resistant to, the fewer options they have for future treatment.
For detailed information on available treatments, treatment failure, drug resistance and side-effects please visit the following websites: www.aidsmap.com, www.i-base.info
HIV treatment is exempt from NHS treatment charges which apply to some migrants and refused asylum seekers in England and Scotland. For more information read our factsheet Will I Have to Pay?
There is now conclusive evidence that as well as keeping people living with HIV well, HIV treatment can help prevent onwards transmission of HIV. This is still a developing area of research, but one that is of increasing importance in HIV prevention and the lives of people living with HIV.
Read our report on HIV Treatment as prevention for more details on these exciting developments.
Despite the many benefits which treatments bring, HIV still has a serious impact on people's lives. The drugs are very powerful and it often takes time for the body to get adjusted to them. Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, diarrhoea, mood changes and anxiety. People who are on effective treatment may also still experience a range of symptoms related to their HIV. Some of these are constant, whilst others fluctuate. HIV is a highly complex condition which can affect all areas of health.
NAT's survey of fluctuating symptoms of HIV found that half of people living with HIV will experience at least one HIV-related symptom or treatment side-effect in a typical month.
GPs are increasingly important in both the diagnosis and the management of HIV. However, there are still unacceptably high rates of undiagnosed (22%) and late diagnosed (47%) HIV in the UK. Greater awareness amongst GPs of the need to test for HIV is vital to achieving more prompt diagnosis in most-affected populations.Part of increasing HIV awareness amongst GPs is though effective training throughout their medical career. In NAT's briefing paper on GP training we found that while HIV is fairly prominent in the GP curriculum, there could be specific updates and amendments to increase awareness of HIV and to ensure GPs have the most up to date information on HIV.For more information on GP training and where HIV is included in the curriculum and assessment process please see our briefing paper.

iWear/ PEPLUM PICASSO.
Finally I got the chance to wear my cute – o so tight – peplum skirt my boyfriend got me. And also, I did my hair differently for a change. Mostly, I wear my hair down or in a pony tail, but the last couple of days I'm so bored of my hair and as I refuse to cut it short or anything I started watching these tutorials on how to do fun stuff with your hair and this model is one of them. Do you have any advice?
Here some more pictures in my peplum skirt.iWear/ RIVER ISLAND skirt, YSL bracelet, H&M top, ZARA heels
A random selection of the pictures I've posted on my Instagram account these past days.
Follow me on Instagram to see it all.
Username: Mystylepoetry
And the last picture, here on the left, I posted only one hour ago. I was at dinner with my boyfriend to celebrate my new job and that lovable man of mine surprised me with this and another box before our starter.
Curious what's inside?
iWear/ CASUAL.
Having an office job doesn't allow you to dress up that much. I usually do, but sometimes I really need to dress low key otherwise I'll be the walking closet at the company. I don't mind though, casual outfits make me feel mellow and chill so it's all good.
I wonder if you always dress up or not…
iWear/ ZARA jeans & bracelet, H&M sweater (men), MANGO heels, IAM rings, GOLDEN necklace, YSL lipstick
Wanna be the first to know what is coming next?
Follow Mystylepoetry on:
Hello another Monday and last Must've of march. This Gorgeous Ganni dress is my fave of this week. And to give you an idea of how I would wear it, I selected a few items. The YSL look a likes from Topshop are ridiculously high but I would love it to wear them with this dress (after some training of course). The Fashionology necklace will drag the outfit out of the exaggerated sophisticated vibe and the white touch from OPI on the nails finish it all. Of course you will need something to put your phone, lipstick and sunglasses in, and that would be this amazing ASOS leather clutch.
Have a nice week!
Wanna be the first to know what is coming next?

Lesson 2 - Organization
Required products:
Tool Factory Word Processor
Charts from "Lesson 1 - Research" (link to Lesson 1 below)
2 model graphic organizers: "Story Map", and "Beginning, Middle, and End"
Individual graphic organizers
This is a 7 part lesson using the 6 + 1 Traits of Writing
The objective for Lesson #2 (Organization):
Students will be able to use the research they collected to being writing a fictional story.
1. Review the research completed in lesson 1 (link below).
2. Explain that today we are going to look at how to organize our research into a story.
3. Ask students to think about the three subjects and one place. Ask students, what are some themes of stories you have read? They should come up with ideas such as friendship, love, and greed.
4. Model for students that since the example characters are a young boy and two animals, we are going to make the theme of our example story, greed and friendship. Explain that while researching we learned that many Native Americans use nature as resources for food, clothing, etc. Remind students that we learned that Native Americans use to hunt (some still do) for their food and use the other parts of the animal for clothes, jewelry, etc.
5. Model by thinking aloud. Based on our research about Natives, we are going to begin a story where the boy is greedy and wants to find the biggest and fiercest bear in the forest to hunt. Along the way the boy is going to meet a deer who teaches him about being greedy. Eventually, the boy will cross paths with a large bear and he will have to make a decision whether to be greedy or not.
6. Tell the students that using our idea, we will organize the story using a graphic organizer.
7. Show both organizers and explain that we have two choices here. The first organizer is a story map (Characters, Problem, Events, and Solution). The other organizer is a basic three fold organizer of beginning, middle, and end. You may decide who works on which organizer depending on your writers. Fill both organizers in using the story example, and show that whichever organizer we use, we will still come out with the same story.
8. After filling in the organizers, hand out individual organizers to students (they still have the choice of the two) and send students back to their seats to work.
9. Again, leave enough time for students to share what they have done so far in their writing, as a class, a team, or with a partner.
10. Put organizer in writer's folder for the next time we meet.
Follow-up Activities
Students who finish early can begin writing their stories in their writer's notebook.

Some Info on Why the Flash Floods in Manitou
Posted by:
John Vomastic
For the out of towners who may wonder why Manitou is having flash floods. Last summer the Waldo Canyon Fire destroyed most of the trees and vegetation on the mountains north of Manitou Springs and north of Hwy 24 between Manitou Springs and beyond Cascade toward Woodland Park. The lack of vegetation no longer holds the water and serious flash floods have occurred in Manitou Springs; the most serious was last Friday. Just north of Manitou is Williams Canyon that funnels all its water into Manitou Springs until it joins Fountain Creek. The below link shows a flash flood along Canon Avenue (I believe). https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200193708468024&set=vb.1311230555&type=2&theater The weather looks good for Friday and Saturday (as of the time of this post), but the rains likely return on Sunday. You may not want to park along or near Canon Avenue for the PPM. The link is from Facebook. I am not sure it will play for non Facebook users. For the runners who usually take an "ice" bath in fountain creek, be a bit careful this year.

Hi, Everyone!
Well, it's been a while since I have written but believe me, I have not been idle. There are many changes that have occurred in my life and I've been meaning for so long to sit down and write this note. As you know, I learned a ton about social media and blogging by simply starting this blog back in 2007 and being immersed in promoting it.
In time, I was asked by several companies to help them with their blogging and social media and this coincided with the general downturn of the economy. But the defining moment came when I was doing a 40′ x 20′ long ceiling, all glaze. You know what happens with glaze, right? You can't stop because you'll get those dreaded lines. There were 3 scaffolds side by side with 2 team members on each scaffold and we all worked in a line glazing. Well, at about 35′ down the line, I was exhausted and I literally stumbled on the scaffold. I barely made it to the end and it hit me — what was I going to do as I got older? It was at that moment I realized I needed to start finding a way to still work in this field that I am SO passionate about but actively get away from the physicality of it. As I filled in the empty slots of time in between decorative painting projects with social media and blogging work for creative companies, it became a new reality for me. Plus, I loooove to write and research and have been dreaming of making both a bigger part of my life. Thus, SociaComm was born.
These days I help my clients — all revolving around the Decorative Painting, DIY and Interior Design industries — maximize their digital marketing and blogging efforts. I count among them Royal Design Studio, Modern Masters, Annie Sloan Unfolded and have helped design companies such as Roos International and bloggers such as Perfectly Imperfect as well. Garay Artisans (both the decorative painting and the mirrors) are being managed by one of my most trusted friends who is an amazing artist and it's going strong. I still paint, finish and draw as I'm revamping my house and love the pace and consideration I can give it! I use my decorative painting experience daily and am so passionate about this industry — I still look for the latest and greatest, still scout out great artistry and design trends, still love learning beautiful new finishes and products. But now I do it from a more personal and creative marketing point-of-view.
So, on that note, I am formally "closing" Fauxology. BUT. I will still be writing about decorative painting and design over on SociaColor, the blog for SociaComm. There will also be social media, digital marketing and blogging posts too — all tailored to help the Creatives. I will be writing at the SociaComm Facebook page and you can still join me on Pinterest, Twitter and Google+. PLUS. I'll be writing regularly over at the new Paint + Pattern blogazine launched by Melanie Royals of Royal Design Studio.
So c'mon over to SociaColor and Paint + Pattern as I look forward to writing for you regularly again on all things decorative painting, DIY, design and creative marketing. I hope you'll join me.

Celebrity Shoes Khloe Kardashian in Christian Louboutin Mago Two-Tone Cap-Toe Pumps
Wow that's a mouthful. Khloe Kardashian was spotted wearing these at the launch of her fragrance "Unbreakable" on 4th April 2011 in Hollywood.
These stilettos are quite confusing to look at due to the top-cap, they look like the front is either a peep toe or else totally flat-faced but if you look at them closely you see that they come to a subtle point. Don't stare for too long or you'll get dizzy .
The mixture of suede and patent leather textures and the black against the nude really make them pop. Of course we can't forget the classic red sole. They stand very tall at 5½" but they have a concealed platform making them more comfortable. They are a real winner in my books, they have a classic shape and will always be stylish.
Here's a snap of Khloe herself modelling these lovelies. There is something really strange going on with the crotch area of her jumpsuit…eeek!
If you are interested in purchasing these lovely designer shoes and
you have the cash to splash your credit card is burning a hole in your purse you can find them on net-a-porter.com for a mere €550 .

Waiting for a Girl Like You by Foreigner (Near Unplugged version) is featured in Pot o' Gold, the fourth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Puck.
During the performance, Shelby watches Puck intensly as he serenades Beth with the song in order to calm her down.
So long
I've been looking too hard, I've waited too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting for a girl like you

Citigroup Primed for Dividend
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C) is well-positioned to meet stringent Basel III capital requirements years ahead of the deadline and still return capital to investors.
One analyst says the company could easily pay out $2 billion in dividends during 2012 while buying back $4 billion in shares, and still meet the new capital requirement many years in ahead of time.
Of course, $2 billion in dividends would translate roughly to a quarterly payout of 17 cents a share, or a modest yield of 1.79% at Thursday's closing share price of $39.02.. Maybe Citi's board could be persuaded to lean more toward a higher dividend rather than support senior management's stock options through buybacks. But that's another story.
