Let Children Be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor
A telling look at the industrialization of America, this photographic exhibition from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY reveals the circumstances that poor working children endured until legislation against child labor prevailed as late as 1938. Lewis Wickes Hine (American, 1874-1940) was a sociologist whose photographs captured his abiding concern for children, immigrants, and working-class people. He was hired by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) in 1906 to document the harsh conditions in which children worked. Hine spent ten years photographing in the canneries, coal mines, cotton mills, farms, and sweatshops common during the early 20th century. Through the use of photography, Hine and the NCLC gained the attention of government officials and aroused public sentiment against child labor practices in the United States.

Driving in Style: Promo Cars of the 1950s and 60s
The innovative and flamboyant car designs of the 1950's are now iconic. To whet consumers' appetites for the "latest thing," the Big Three American automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) began to release new models with slightly redesigned features every year. To promote the new vehicles, dealers distributed highly-detailed plastic models or "promos." Like their full-size versions, these colorful miniatures boasted streamlined tail fins and polished chrome grilles, reflections of the period's Space Age design and general prosperity. Given to potential buyers and their children, these salesman's samples are highly collectible today. Lent by Robert Reinhold and John O'Halloran, the promos in EAM's presentation will be on view in the McCormick House, also designed in the 1950s.

On the Brink: New Work by Nnenna Okore
EAM presents new work by internationally celebrated sculptor Nnenna Okore. Through repetitive, labor-intensive processes, Okore transforms discarded and organic materials like burlap, newspapers, plastic bags and twine into large-scale wall hangings and installations. Okore-s dramatic and undulating forms float in and across space, often casting shadows on their surrounds. Influenced by the textures, colors and landscapes of her Chicago milieu as well as the more rural environment of the small town in Nigeria where she was raised, Okore's new fiber and paper works explore the fluidity of life, finding beauty in the inevitable processes of aging and decay. Okore is a professor of art at Chicago's North Park University and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2013.

In the great tradition of Texan pride, there are millions of rabid sports fans in Dallas and more than enough sports bars to entertain them all. All over the city, sports fans can find places to enjoy amazing food, even more amazing drinks and some of the biggest televisions broadcasting every game. Everyone from blue-collared workers to stockbrokers can be spotted at places like Frankies Sports Bar, which has an enormous TV and a projection screen, or McKinney Avenue Tavern, which has over 30 televisions and delicious Buffalo wings. Regulars tend to haunt places like Baileys 1st & 10 Sports Bar, where the décor may not be much, but the beers are cold and tasty ribs are bought and served by the pound. Since its no secret that sports fans can get a little over-zealous sometimes, especially when it comes to drinking in celebration (or worse yet, drinking in devastation), a couple of Dallas sports bars even serve brunches that are designed to nurse hangovers and please tummies.

Lakewood's 1st & 10 Sports Bar
6465 E. Mockingbird Ln., Ste. 316, Dallas, TX; Tel. 214.828.0055
When it's time for a Mavericks or Cowboys game, locals know to head over to the Eastside of Dallas in the Hillside neighborhood to catch the game at Lakewood's. The sports bar isn't glamorous but that makes it all the better to watch sports, swig beers and buy ribs by the pound. If sports fans aren't in the mood for a slab of meat with their pitcher of beer from the bar, Lakewood's also offers nachos, burgers, sandwiches and an array of fried Dallas favorites. Grab a seat in the corner and cozy up with a pitcher and chicken wings to settle in at the sports bar for a game.
McKinney Avenue Tavern
2822 McKinney Ave., Dallas, TX; Tel. 214.969.1984
When there's a Texas game on, McKinney Avenue Tavern fills up with local Dallas Uptowners looking to watch the game while getting a bite to eat and a drink at the bar. American bar food like appetizers, burgers and sandwiches are served up hot from the kitchen to keep sports fans fat and happy. Happy hours take off the sting of the price for drinks but foodlike a platter of cheese sticks, jalapeno poppers, buffalo wings and chicken strips for four peoplestill has to be paid for. Good, friendly service at the bar, over 30 televisions and an outside patio can easily accommodate even the most fervent Dallas sports fans.
Press Box Grill
1623 Elm St., Dallas, TX; Tel. 214.747.8226
American fare and cold beer go together like bread and butter at the Press Box Grill in Downtown Dallas. Everybody from white to blue-collared workers feel comfortable at the bar after work to grad a burger and a drink before heading home or spending the night out on the town. The historic building that houses the Press Box Grill has dark wood and a newspaper motif that light up with the sun that shines through the bar's windows. Items on the menu are all under 13 dollars and are hearty portions of salads, sandwiches, burgers, steak and chicken entrees. The Press Box is the quintessential neighborhood bar with good food and good drinks every night of the week.
Stan's Blue Note: Texas Taphouse & Grill
2908 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX; Tel. 2124.827.1977
The full bar at Stan's Blue Note is more colorful and exciting on the inside than one would be able to guess from the bland outside. Black bar stools line the bar with bras hanging from the ceiling overhead due to the Dallas bar's popularity with bachelorette parties. Two patios extend the space to fit everyone in during Cowboys games when Stan's Blue Note becomes one of the most happening sports bars on lower Greenville. A pool table, TV screens and jukebox provide plenty of entertainment when the bar is slow, but it's a rare day when something isn't happening at Stan's.
The Wild Turkey
2470 Walnut Hill Ln., Dallas, TX; Tel. 214.351.5383
Sports game watching can get pretty wild in The Wild Turkey thanks to the friendly and excited sports fans. Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks and Stars are great games to watch on the many TVs while enjoying a selection from the full menu in the dining area or a drink at the bar. Sports fans that need more action can get a game of pool, Golden tee or another video game going. Happy hours are a great time to stop by the Dallas bar with food and drink items at about half-price, even if there isn't a game on. The bar has amazing food and people making The Wild Turkey a great place in Dallas to enjoy a sports game or the night.
Time Out Tavern
5101 W. Lovers Ln., Dallas, TX; Tel. 214.956.9552
Mostly locals hang out at this Dallas neighborhood sports bar. The Time Out Tavern has no food but plenty of beer choices to make it a great place to meet before and after sports games. Dallas Cowboys games are particularly popular at the bar and it gets packed well before the game begins with peanuts, Cheetos or pork rinds as the only sustenance. If there aren't sports on TV, the bar still has shuffleboard and pool for drinkers with a competitive streak. The Time Out Tavern is just the place for a night of excitement or just to kick back.

We have been in our new home almost a year but due to some changes I made in the kitchen, and some mess ups it took a while to finally be done, yay!!! This forum helped me immensely, so thanks to everyone here at Gardenweb!!!
Here are the details: Superior Cabinets Maple in Licorice
Miele Coffee System CVA 4066
Follow-Up Postings:
Gorgeous! Love your backsplash. |
- Posted by hosenemesis (My Page) on Sat, Mar 17, 12 at 19:01
Oh, you must be so pleased! What a lovely kitchen. Renee |
Thank you both so much, I am very pleased now. The only thing I might still change one day is maybe replacing the pendants over the island with mini chandeliers if I can ever find the perfect ones in a reasonable price range. |
Oh this is so elegant, smooth and classy. What a nice space it must be to work in and also to relax in. You did a fantastic job!! I love your cabinets, the granite, and of course your beautiful floors. And the Miele coffee maker is the bomb. We recently got one too and I can't say enough about how great it's made our day-to-day use of the kitchen. We drink a lot of coffee and having it always available, no muss no fuss, is one of my favorite things. How are you liking it? Anyway, congrats and best wishes for many years of happiness in your beautiful new space. |
It is beautiful. Looks so sleek and "prettily" modern. It just looks like it coudn't get messed up while your cooking. Best wishes in your new space. |
It looks beautiful! |
Just beautiful. So warm and inviting. Enjoy and thanks for sharing! |
Very pretty! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your granite. Everything just goes together so well, and enhances everything else! Enjoy! |
- Posted by clarygrace (My Page) on Sun, Mar 18, 12 at 4:58
Very lovely! I really like how well integrated to the open space this beauty is...and the granite is perfect! I do like the pendants you have, simple and elegant, but see what you mean by wanting to add a bit more bling!!! Enjoy!!! |
Looks prettier and more serene than many magazine pictures! I love your home. |
Awww, your wonderful comments have made my day. :) |
Beautiful! I LOVE the combo of Delicatus White and dark cabinets! It is definitely a grown-up kitchen! You must be walking on air! |
Exquisite! Of course, Delicatus is my favorite granite, and it goes so well with your gorgeous cabinets! Love the stacked cabinet look and with the dramatic large pulls. How high are your ceilings? Beautiful! |
- Posted by rtwilliams (My Page) on Mon, Mar 19, 12 at 10:52
Very nice job. Nice open space and the backsplash is gorgeous. How high are your cabinets? Love the stacked cabinets. Congratulations! |
- Posted by NewSouthernBelle (My Page) on Mon, Mar 19, 12 at 15:40
It's beautiful. Nicely done. I want to see more pictures. What is the paint color just outside the kitchen in the first photo? |
- Posted by sanjuangirl (My Page) on Mon, Mar 19, 12 at 18:39
Beautiful! LOVE the granite, backsplash, floor, cabinets! Love it all. Enjoy your gorgeous kitchen! Delicatus is one of my favorites. The chandeliers would be amazing in your space. Maybe as a birthday/anniversary/Christmas present?! |
Once again I so appreciate the compliments on our kitchen from all of you. This kitchen forum is where I learned of our granite, about stacked cabinets.... So I am very grateful. :) We really love the Miele coffee system. We were not huge coffee drinkers but now enjoy a cup or two quite often, it's so simple to use. It's nice to also have quick access hot water for teas, hot chocolate.... Our ceilings are 9' 1 in the kitchen area and 11' 1 in the great room. I really love how the stacked cabinets turned out. Haven't figured what decorations to put in the glass cabinets at the top yet. The cabinets up there are dark but do have lights inside to display stuff. The paint color is if I remember correctly is called Wrightstone by ICI Paints. Any suggestions for lighting to add more bling above the island would be wonderful as well as what to put in the upper glass cabinets. Thanks again. |

White Noise
i think it's music i hear. i'm always hearing something. i don't notice it until it stops, then i'm looking around to see who turned off the radio. i have actually went searching for the noise thinking i left a tv or radio on, and found nothing. i think it's weird. i don't mind it, since i don't really notice it until it stops. it's good to hear others hear stuff too, i thought i was just certifiably insane.
Her is a quick crash corse, every living thing, or electrical device gives off some sort of frequency. radio stations, cellphones,TV stations, musical instruments, and even human speech. in short it is also known as a sound wave, which is still nothing more than a frequency.it is possible to have your stereo speakers off and still here random radio stations. remember your AM crystal radio experiment. you can do this without having to use any type of power source, its broadcast through the air. we also know about people who have braces. I hear random radio stations and talk shows through my fan somtims. a motor is actually running With a frequency. it's not the white noise you're hearing it through it is whatever electrical devices creating that white noise with an electrical frequency. Your ear drum and components Are nothing more then a simple speaker /recever, with a biological power source and magnetic field designed to pick up sound waves which again are nothing more than a frequency designed to picking up frequency/ soundwavs. people who hear these are generally a little bit hard of hearing and or are also very musically inclined, and some people who may have some certain emotional and mental disabilities. I know this is a short answer and I probably left a lot out but this will be enough for you guys to speculate on. hope this helps everybody you're not crazy or maybe you are I don't know Lol.
Glad I looked this up. Thought I was possibly crazy. The 1st time it happened was very upsetting to me. It was late, I was tired & it sounded like one of my neighbors had some pretty loud music playing. (We live in a small town house) I actually sat up in bed, looked at my soundly sleeping boyfriend and then proceeded to try to see out of my bedroom window, which is near my head. I was angry. The music seemed like rock/medal, which isn't my preferred genre. But, it had stopped once I got fed up & sat up. It has happened countless times since the 1st episode & does change in genre & volume. I think I've narrowed it down to my fan, which I use 365 days a year. When I'm lying down, with one ear on my pillow, the air from the fan seems to roll past my ear creating this noise that I turn into music w/my imagination. I'm 41 and have played flute since the age of 10, so I read music and seem to be able to conjure up some great beats, tunes, melodies, etc. I've learned to embrace and enjoy it.
I hear a harmonica it started 3 months ago the pitch go's up and down always staying in the same key. Recording music and producing my whole life has made me pinpoint that it's not in my head but it's in my ears. When I hear it I have found I hear it better on top of hills but only in certain area's as if something in the ground has to do with it. It doesn't really bother me just annoyed I can't finger out were it's coming from. I'm doing experiments and will post when I figure it out.
I hear folk music when the dishwasher runs. I thought it was just me but I'm glad im not the only one!
Add a response...
I have tinnitus but lately I've been hearing a low muffled bass type musical sound that is far worse than the ringing. I was trying to go to sleep one night when I started hearing the music. I thought it was young kids in the neighborhood playing loud music. I had my husband try to help me find the source but he couldn't hear anything so I take it is in my head. I just hope I don't I don't end up with a full symphony orchestra!
I thought I was going crazy. I have been hearing beach boys music every time it is quiet for about a month.
I can agree with many of the posts on here and like those people I am relieved that others experience the same phenomena. About half of the post seem to miss and are talking about something else entirely. The commonalities that I've seen and largely mesh with my experience are:
A faintness that usually renders the tune, show, etc. unIdentifiable. Like others I can usually tell the "style" such as swing, metal, talk show, game, whatever but can never make out a full melody or word.
Being alone, usually late at night, and usually when it is quiet. I have only experienced it when I am alone after putting the kids to sleep. I've never heard it when someone was around so I could ask if they heard it too. I have had the T.V. on and still heard faint music but usually it's just quiet. I'm intrigued about fans and or HVAC being linked. I often run a fan to keep air circulating and do so year round.
One final note and this is just about white noise. If you have a white noise generator and or sleep machine they can pick up and play errant transmissions. I used one for years until I moved to my present house. My neighbor is a HAM radio hobbyist and has a giant antenna in his backyard. My wife back then freaked out the second day in the house when she heard voices. I followed them back to the noise machine and after a min or two of listening I identified one voice as the neighbor.
Two other commonalities to my experience I forgot: One, that I don't notice it at first. When I do actually notice hearing it, it seems like it has been playing a long time unnoticed. Two, that it comes and goes in spurts. I may hear it several nights in a row and then not again for weeks.
One day while driving I turned the radio off and realized I still could hear the song. After that I noticed I heard things in my head and there was no reason why. I heard a band playing. I thought it was the school band but no that wasn't it. Then I would see things like a man who was not there. At bed at night I would see pictures like cars driving up, or to a party at my house set in the 1930's.
Then we moved and I thought that would be the last of that. But no it got worse. I would see people at my windows, some would be nice others not so nice. They would wake me by walking on the porch. That has gotten better but the music is still with me. All I hear is gospel music, the older songs of the 40's and 50's. Those I hear at all hours but mostly when I go to bed. Also when I go to bed there is a mist above me and once I recognize it, it will sit on my chest. I tell it to kiss my face and it does. It seems scared of anything that moves in the bed. At that point it will rise upward. If I think the words it will do what I ask. If I put my hands up it will catch my fingers and it feels like a suction lightly on my fingers. I don't know why and my husband and daughter says not to tell anyone or they will think I'm crazy. So I don't tell anyone. I lost my last sibling in Feb and I believe he has visited me. I believe also my mother has visited me. One night I woke up and this face was above me just an inch or so. When I woke up it went away. Another time I got out of bed and stopped real short. I saw a lady standing in front of me but she went away after I got up I saw her and was so surprised I said "oh" and she was gone. There is a bit more but I think I better stop for now.
Mostly, like in my case, I think it may be the dental work we have done. Like the fillings in our teeth. But I think that you may actually be clairvoyant or a bit of a medium.
I to have been hearing radio music when I lay down to sleep at night . I have accused everyone in the house of playing music at night I've searched everywhere . I thought it was in my head. I finally found the culprit it was my portable AC unit.
I hear that too. The last three nights have been torture. I hear baseball games, people talking, water running, music. Last night was Mexican music....I don't even know Spanish. ...lol. I go through spurts. I'm glad I found this site. I feel better knowing there are so many other people hearing the same thing.
I also got this weird experience of hearing music through the noises. At least that was the way it began. After I started to hear voices and I thought people was teasing me, I searched for the device that let me hear the voices. Then I realize it was just in my head and thank God, I was cured of that sense of paranoia and started to trust the people that surrounds me again. I started to go more frequently to the church and I understood then it was a spiritual problem. Not only I hear music, hear voices but also has begun to speak in Tongues. Is funny experience since I know what I'm saying but, when It comes out of my mouth I pronounce it in another language. I never understood those people that speak in tongues. I was skeptical about it. But not any more. Now I buy books regarding the Holy Spirit in order to understand better this weird experience. Also I try to compare my situation with Noah, Moses and the other prophets that appear in the Holy Bible, that seems to have this ability and by that time it was normal... not an schizophrenia symptom! Something I can recommend is that I notice that by taking the supplement for mood enhancer it help me to feel relaxed. It is sell in Costco and is called 5 HTP Tryptophan. But any way I still got the ability of hear weird thing and speak in tongues even right after I take that supplement.
God Bless You, I hope you all can find a way to manage your live with this new way of being.
Yep, get it all the time, it stops when someone else is there. Mostly it's the heater, and stops when I turn it off. My aunt had the same thing. Sometimes the music's awful, other times quite wonderful. All different genres. Rain on our roof sounded like guitars. 40s music seems to have been popular recently. I've heard dirt track racing, football matches, all sorts. One time I had a bad flu, and found I could change the sound (to something else) by turning my head. Most of it's music unheard before. I just wish I could write it down, or record it. I got harmonica music earlier this evening, also got some pop, and lately, I try to change the way the tune goes and I can. Some people who get this maybe picking up radio waves, but for my part, I'm fairly sure that I'm mildly bonkers. I had the 'in head' conversations too. I can only roughly read music, but I'd really like to know more. so I can transcribe it and play it again. Some of it's glorious, there was one classic type piece, that reminded me of layer upon of swan feathers. I was amazed that I must be responsible for it!
I hear music like a tape playing the same song over and over. It will start suddenly and stop suddenly. I have been awakened at night with loud music like someone just put on a tape to play. I sometimes hear people talking not to me they are just having a conversation between them. Do I have some kind of brain disorder?
I've been getting the same thing for the last couple months. I hear it when I'm laying down to go to sleep, and then all of a sudden it feels like the radio is on somewhere. Its like muffled noise of People talking then some music exactly like switching through radio stations. I have no idea what it is. I've ruled out an outside noise or neighbor. I've also noticed that over the past Year quiet noises would bother my more, and I could hear things outside that nobody else seems to be able to hear.
i think I messed up w/ trying to post...Anyway,I am so glad I am not ALONE!I hear radio stations,they are always mellow,and no bass.But really nice music.Also;I hear complete conversations in my head when Im very relaxed,people talking about every day things!a man and woman,or a group of people out to dinner,I even get names once in awhile.It made me think I was crazy,but they are not "telling'me what to do,they are not even talking to ME!!Sometimes it sounds like Im in a room full of people,or at an office,or even a grocery store,and I can hear their separate and distinct answers.I wa stold by a psychic that I was a death"" walker""20 yrs ago.but this all just started about 6 months ago,and no one is dead!LOL Thank God(that is a whole other story!good to know I am not crazy,I also have many spirits here so maybe they are just having casual conversation.And like I said,only when In very relaxed,right before sleep,when I am meditating,and now it seems to disrupt that,...so I just listen?....GOOD NIGHT ALL,IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS SITE! :)
When the hvac is running or any small heater/fan is running I too hear either radio stations or tv programs... Mostly songs I can rarely discern except genre. Glad I googled this!
Hello All<br />
For the past two or three years I have on occasion been woken up in the middle of the night by what I thought was my radio alarm. However, I found the alarm was off and I too use a white noise machine to sleep at night. At first I thought it was metal coils in the bed picking up radio signals, however ever time I heard the radio there was no music that I recognized (it had a DJ and everything saying you are listening to JPOA...) When I turn off the white noise machine the radio turns off. Just read an article about how the brain takes random firing of the mind and puts in into higher thinking such as music. So what I got from the article is that the white noise is being translated by the higher thinking of our brain into something discernable. Just like you all, thought I was loosing it. Have a good night :)
Add a response...I hear a man singing song it's a sad song even when I am out what those this mean.
You have tuned into a radio wave frequency. It is happening more because of all the towers around us and WiFi.
I have read these post of tuning into radio frequency or wifi however. In our old house as I was trying to go to sleep I could hear music and talking like and old Victorian type grand ball with waltz like music. It bothered me for awhile then I just listened to it til i fell asleep. At this time
there was no wifi invented.
I thought I was the only one. I hear music in running water. Sometimes it's like that spa music and sometimes it's classical. Only instrumental songs. I very glad to know this happens to others and I'm not crazy. Thanks everyone for posting your experiences.
This just happened to me today that is why I have googled it. My husband had left for work and I was having a lie in bed. I fell asleep then I woke up to the sound of very quiet singing and music. It was a man singing and I sounded like a very old romantic slow song a little like the 30s or 40s. I checked the radio in the room to see if hubby had set an alarm to wake me however it wasn't on. Laying just resting I then heard a violin play which freaked me out a bit. After that I heard very clearly in my head a young boy singing to music 'where is love' from Oliver.
Obviously started googling as its worried me.
I have heard ballroom music, country music, and just today I am hearing a almost like elevator music. I started researching it and found it is coming from the WIFI frequency waves. What you hear depends on what wave you are attune to.
I have a Homedics sound spa and when I play the waterfall effect which essentially sounds like white noise I sometimes hear short repeating melodies. At first I thought that the music was built into the recording but after several months of never hearing the same melody twice I decided it was something else. Strange
is there anyone from london in this thread who has had this experience and would like to give an interview? I am hoping to make a short podcast discussing the Radio Frequency Effect and would like to hear about people's experiences
I am in the U.S. but I think it is great to get this out there and heard. With so many cell towers and WiFi all around us these days, it is becoming very common but people are afraid to talk about it because they think everyone will think they are crazy. I started picking up on frequencies back in 1999.
i often hear like a weird buzzing but its as if there are multiple buzz sounds going on at the same time I occasionally do hear music though but I have learned to dismiss it as a song stuck in my head. Im pretty unsure what to classify it as. could someone please explain the diffrence
The buzzing is called Tinnitus, you can do a quick Google search to find out more about it. But the music is radio frequencies that you are picking up on.
When I was a young child I would hear a radio in the distance. My mother heard the same thing. I would ask her what this was and she would say 'maybe it's the powerlines buzzing'. I spent hours under those powerlines trying to figure out why they sounded like people talking. We would also hear a phone ringing. When I was in 4th grade my parents built the house that they are living in now and we moved just down the road from that place. We never heard it again and never talked about it...until....my uncle retired and moved back to our home state. He built a house on that site. Just before construction was completed and they were ready to move into the house my aunt came down to mom's and was telling her about this strange radio playing off in a distance when they were inside this new house. My mother mother never said a word, just listened. My aunt then said, 'and there is something else that is very puzzling........At this point my very quiet and unpretentious mother said, "You hear a phone ringing when there is no phone". My aunt was shocked. She asked my mother how she knew. My mother then told her that she had heard these sounds the whole time that she had lived in that house..........This is the same mother that tried to dismiss these sounds when I would question her as a child. As an adult I now see that she had no explanation to give a 9 year old child. Now, this was back in the 60's. Not a lot of high frequency stuff like today. We never knew what those sounds were.
Like around 1990 I was sitting in my parents living room no tv or radio was on and the speakers they had in the room like jvc 12" went real loud like a truck driver talking or something and all the levels lit up on the stereo system. I couldnt understand what was said and it was like 4 or 5 seconds long real quick but weird before most people had cell phones but the stereo was off . Anyway the same thing just happened in my head not as loud but real weird.
About a week before Christmas my HK AVR home theater was plainly playing Christmas music. The HK was off, rather in sleep mode, Frosty the Snowman and others plainly recognizable. Not loud.
Later, when the furnace started it was louder and what started was unrecognizable. Just tubas and horns that just cycled.
The HK sits 20 feet from the furnace. My other Mac sits 40 feet aways. The new thing is that when the furnace is off music is play and it is 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland'.
The final bit of weirdness is at home and at work I can hear Sinatra and Perry Como. No HK AVR at work and my headset was turned off.
In all cases I could not pinpoint the source.
What now happening is I hear what sounds like a banjo and guys talking real fast the an older guy starts what appears to be a sermon.
This started all a week before Xmas and I suspect my dog is experiencing the music in the head. She wimpers and gets as close as possible to me.
I did find 6 shots of vodka help.
sometimes when i lay in bed at night and nothing at all is on i hear things and i always say to my wife do you hear that? and she always says hear what?.. the best way for me to explain it is like the faint sound of a radio but not music more like am talk radio or a sports game but i can never make out what they are saying.. iv started to call this the weather/radio man.. but one time i was focusing on it real hard cuz i wanted to hear as best as i could and it started small and turned into a large loud ohm sound like a million monks were in my room
My kids are in school and my 2 yr old is asleep in his crib. As i walked into my kitchen i heared Classical music coming from my boys room where the baby sleeps. As i got closer, it was coming from inside the room. It was not faint enough to be coming from outside but loud enough to be inside the room. As i walked into the room and stand in front of the t.v wondering if its the t.v, the music stopped. I picked up the ipod it was off, the t.v was off, no other music toys in the room that would possibly be on. I've experienced other things throughout the years, like seeing Father-in-law standing in the hospital hallway while his dead body was in the hospital room, i heard voices in my head telling and guiding me through my life decisions. Starting to wonder, if i'am a sensitive? To many psychic like encounters, it started by me years ago reaching deep into my subconscious and mastering how to reach and clarify my soul, crazy huh? you should hear the things i've experienced after that....
Oh my gosh! I am so glad I found this! This has happened all my life and I used to look for the source of noise (usually music). I eventually just dealt with it. Wow. I am glad I am not the only one. It seems if I have had several drinks it gets mors intense.
I have had this happen for about 20 years...I thought too I was going nuts.. I too have Mercury Fillings as well as a fan in my room. I only hear this when I am laying down in bed. I just hear radio stations nothing else

Where Jarka's ranking is at the moment, and unless she goes on a tear somewhere, Id expect she'd see Fed Cup as priority than battling the clay quallie rounds. Rodionova the same, if she gets picked. Both seem to have a strong committment to representing their new country.
I think Casey last year played those articifical grass Japanese tournies in preparation for the French, either way, has never prepared that well for the clay anyway.
I think Liv was playing the two clay 25k's in Australia last year.
Barty has to manage her limited schedule and would be happy to get the competitive play than having to train somewhere overseas.
Always been a gripe of mine that the girls don't play enough clay tournies and stick too closely to hardcourts when they can, so I expect they won't be fussed to be in Australia at this time.
There's more to life than just being happy.

Dassai 50 Nigori NI12 "Otter Festival"
Wow! What a tasty nigori that is so flavorful and feels so good in the palate. The nose is made up of rose water, cream, apple, and melon aromas. Fruity, light, buoyant, bouncy, and soft this unfiltered sake drinks like it is floating. This is no sweet bum rush of flavor like other nigoris, rather it is soft, airy, and feels like it swooshes through the palate. Look for hints of fruit tones like cherries, pears, apples, grapes, and a touch of light whipping cream. This is what a Daiginjo nigori should taste like elegant, special, high-end and delicious. WORD: Juicy WINE: Fruity reds/light whites BEER: Fruity ales FOODS: Sparkling wine fare.

A Single, Numberless Death (Hardback)
by Cristina de la Torre, Nora Strejilevich
Format: | Hardback 176 pages |
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 2-3 weeks
Delivered FREE
in the UK
Nora Strejilevich was a young woman when her brother and other family members and friends disappeared at the hands of the military junta that held power in Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Ostensibly part of a systemic campaign to eliminate left-wing terrorism, the violence perpetrated by the junta far exceeded anything the leftists ever dreamed of, enveloping not only the violent left but other dissidents and innocent civilians as well, and particularly targeting the Jewish population. A "desaparecida" herself, Strejilevich survived kidnapping and torture to speak of her experiences with a realism that extends from one end of the political spectrum to the other. In this English translation of her fictional memoir "Una sola muerte numerosa", Strejilevich combines autobiography, documentary journalism, fiction and poetry to express the "choir of voices" of the more than 30,000 souls who were imprisoned and abused. She engages the reader in the history of a bloody military coup and state-sanctioned anti-Semitism, exploring themes of exile, identity and violence.

The Buffalo & Jamestown Railroad company was organized on March 4, 1872 with the aid of one million dollars from the city of Buffalo and another million dollars donated by towns along the line. Work commenced rapidly and the road was completed from Buffalo to Gowanda by October 20, 1874. At Dayton, the track passed under the tracks of the Erie main line from Salamanca to Dunkirk and continued south to Jamestown. The road was opened in sections and was completed in July 1875.
The road was never financially successful and was sold at auction in Buffalo on September 11, 1877 by George S. Wardell, the referee in the suit of "The Farmers' Loan and Trust Company against the Buffalo and Jamestown Railroad Company and others" A bid of one million dollars (the only bid) was accepted and on December 11, 1877 the Buffalo and Southwestern Railroad was incorporated.
The line was leased by the New York, Lake Erie and Western (Erie) on August 1, 1880 for an annual rental of 35 percent of the gross earnings for the line. On November 19, 1895 the Erie officially merged the line by virtue of owning 100 percent of the B&SW stock.
Much of the line still sees use. The Buffalo Southern Railroad operates the portion from Buffalo to the Erie County line at Gowanda and the New York and Lake Erie operates the line south from Gowanda to South Dayton, including an excursion train that runs in the summer. This line has been made famous by Hollywood in two feature films. In "The Natural", the restored South Dayton depot is where Robert Redford embarks on the train at the beginning of the movie. In the film "Trains, Planes and Automobiles" the New York and Lake Erie is repainted as the fictional "Contrak" ridden by Steve Martin and the late John Candy.
