. Was it "Thrilla" or "Why don't we do it in the road" that the Rev. Al was grinding to ??? http://wcbstv.com/slideshows/Michael.Jackson.Memorial.20.1066096.html?detectflash=false I thought this was supposed to be a serious event, remembering a man who just passed away?? Everybody I've seen, from Larry King to Al Sharpie Sharpton are treating this as just another free lunch holiday, another way to grab some ratings and/or swag. Some people are just beyond the boundaries of good taste. Unbelievable. //
And what about those Irish with their wakes? Is that tasteless, too? Each culture honors its dead in its own way, and celebrating the life of Michael Jackson is not doing him a dishonor.
It is too bad that we have to turn to the media in Europe to get the real story on Michael Jackson. The media in the US, will not even address the history of Michael's questionable past. There is a lot more to Michael than his music and dance. How did the children know it was bedtime at the Neverland ranch???? When the big hand meets the little hand.
Dated a 100% Irish girl as a teenager ... for a few years. Well ... coming from an Italian the world is ending type of funerals ... WOW!!! With all due respect to all nationalities ... i love how the irish do it. They celebrate the life that was lived and the friends made and the loved ones loved. They shed tears like the rest of us but it's that celebration of a good life lived that I had fond affection for. To this day ... I'd rather look at the life lived than mourn the life that's gone. death happens, it's unavoidable and remembrances of how it was lived are the best IMO.
I've always thought him a weirdo but I never put him in the Ped category. Eventually, people get older and they remember what happened and they reveal it. Nobody has yet come forward to say they were molested by him. Yuri Gellar asked him under hypnosis and Mike told him no ... he never did any of it. as far as he was gay ... well ... like always IMO that was his business not mine. I don't worship or idolize him ... I loved much of his music. I'd like to remember him for his music and charity ... the rest is just media crapola.
The Irish treat it as a celebration of the departed's life getting in touch with friends and family who are all connected by the deceased, it's a party but it's a party that is meant to bring out the goodness in everyone's spirit in their darkest hour. What is being done by the people around Michael is nothing like that- it's vultures circling the prey hoping to get their faces on TV to get themselves a new job...or worse like his father hawking his recording label being interviewed about his son. There is no bringing together of friends and family, the only thing being brought together is his past troubles and struggles.
Twas the night that Paddy Murphy died Twas a night I'll Never forget All the boys were rolling drunk Some ain't sober yet Mrs Murphy sat in the corner Pouring out her grief While Kelly and his pals The dirty rotten thief Into the anti room And a bottle of whiskey stole They put the bottle on the corpse To keep the liqour cold
Never known the Irish to grind much at all, wake or no wake. In any case, this whole Michael Jacko thing is just one big sex/drugs/& rock'n roll orgy. Nothing more, nothing less. Jesse Jackson was conferring with Hugh at the Playboy mansion ..... Mandarin, Russian, Spanish, Farsi, (North Korean???) ..... you're on the way. //
When I was young after my grandmother died and was buried, we all went to a big restaurant and had a huge meal.. everyone was laughing and drinking.. took a long time to figure that one out, thought that everyone should be sad and could not understand how anyone could laugh... In retrospect it was a good thing we did that as it taught me much about life and death...
Al "Sharpie" Sharpton and Jesse "James" Jackson: "....let's grind tonite, the night is so young. You are lovely dear, look at my tongue......" :singing:...........................:singing:.............................:singing: And people wonder why the country is going into the shiit house. //
DAMN!!! You are one smart teenager!!! :singing:...................................................:yeeha:
Michael Jackson, the Jackson Family, everybody and everything ever connected with the creep is nothing but a "Cesspool Freak Show" The Michael Jackson Funeral will be a "Roman Circus" Geraldo will be having orgasms for months just thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of his junkie groupies engage in "live sex" right beside the coffin while the onlookers cheer and tap dance.
Good. That's one reason why I try to phrase things in the form of a question. That, and I used to watch a lot of Jeopardy at the bar after work.

The first time I landed in LAX, I was 14. I was spending a few days with my brother, who was a freshman in college at USC. I remember gawking at the layer of smog and the sprawling, bleached-out landscape. When I got off the plane, my brother, for possibly the first and last time in his life, looked happy to see me.
"This place is a shithole," were the first words out of my mouth.
"I know!" he replied happily. "Isn't it great?"
And I suppose for him, it really was. He was away from home for the first time, living in L.A., and trying, truly trying, to become a movie star. (more…)

I saw this item on overstock and didn't buy it right away. When I found out it was sold out I wanted it more than ever. I called overstock and learned that there was a strong possibility that it would be restocked. I ordered it as soon as it came back in stock. It is beautiful! It exceeds my expectations. I put it together in about 30 minutes. It was not difficult. It just takes time to place the crystals. My husband installed it in less than 15 minutes. The directions were very basic, but it was simple enough to figure it. It is stunning. We just installed it tonight, but I know it will be a converstation piece. I just wanted to add, that this is an amazing value!! I searched for similar chandeliers and they were all priced about $475-700. I couldn't believe the deal through overtock!
This chandelier is truly stunning! There are a ton of crystals and the drum shade is really sheer so you get to see the whole chandelier underneath. And because of the drum shade and the fact that the base of the fixture is chrome, it gives a beautiful contempory vibe along with traditional (transitional). I am an interior designer and this is hanging in my own master bedroom entrance. When visitors turn the corner to the bedroom, this is the first thing they see and they gasp....and they want one! I highly recommend this! Great wow factor!
This fixture is absolutely gorgeous! It did take a while to put together but it's just tedious to place the crystals, not difficult in the least. The shade is so cool! Way better than just black sheer fabric, the strands give it a totally unique and expensive look. I describe it as "swanky", 'A person or object that is posh, high-class, glamorous, classy, upmarket, etc.' None of my crystals were broken, no pieces missing - it arrived in perfect condition. I absolutely love it!
This is Beautiful!! perfect for dinette area!!!!! Its prettier in person than in the picture.. i bought this over a year ago and i still extremely love it!! worth the money!
We received he chandelier today and while I really like the chandelier, I absolutely am totally disappointed with the "crystal" pieces that hang from the chandelier. These pieces aren't crystal, but very bad quality glass with chips, scratches, cloudiness, etc. Out of the 36 pieces maybe 6 are just ok. I paid $*** for this and will probably invest a lot more to replace the glass with real crystal because I like the overall look of the light. Had I paid more than $***I would have been extremely mad at the quality. This is DEFINITELY a case of you get what you pay for. Fail!
Just beautiful, but a little complicated to put together. Worth the price. Love it
The chandelier shade is a string shade. It was not listed as such so when it arrived I was very disappointed. I returned it the next day.
This was the second chandelier we bought from overstock, and love them both. Definitely look better than the pictures on line. Good quality, real glass beads, and it's something you don't find in a regular household.
I was really happy with the chandelier and the price was even better. And really easy to put together!
It looks so beautiful on top of my large black frame mirror. Match made in heaven! I love the quality of crystals. Beautiful Chandelier.

I am a believer of a never-ending learning. I think everyone around us and everything we engage with can or most likely will teach us a new skill, attitude, approach, perception or even vision. It is always very exciting to find something new out. On other hand, as a professional I am perceived as an expert who doesn't need to go and learn more but has all the answers. Let me assure you that no one has ALL the answers; however professionals like myself almost always know where and how to find these answers.
In the course of my work I've been asked on multiple occasions "How do you find things out?" or "How do you keep a track of what's happening?" I don't have any secrets, I simply listen, read, try and review.
There are so many sources of free information nowadays that it can be as harmful as it is beneficial. I often follow people I trust and find useful. I don't actually stalk them of course but I follow their blogs, articles, social media, occasionally dropping an e-mail with questions or feedback. I often bump into interesting things or people. My co-industry friends send me links or invite me to curious events. I certainly subscribed to the sources I want to keep in touch with regularly and I visit others when ever I feel like I need to read up on something.
The need to learn itself something usually pushes you to find the answers – use your instinct, network, compare and read. Don't disregard other people's opinion but don't be fooled by it either. Listen and watch others, evaluating, criticizing and trying their ways out.
I've been lucky to work with one of the co-working & networking spaces in Sydney where I am privileged to get into discussions and debates with other business owners on regular basis, learning their opinions on digital marketing. My recent top four debates with other marketers and business owners happened to be within the following topics: quality content, business structures, finding customers and of course "SEO is dead". I want to share the information I found useful, interesting and exciting as a result of my networking experience. The subjects might seem like they are not related to one another but don't be fooled. Learning is the key to any success and I am here to share my tools and knowledge with everyone happy to participate in learning.
Pitching Your Passion
LinkedIn has been good to me since the day I started paying more attention to the Beast. It is a powerful and expanding tool for anyone searching or offering (whatever it is). I've bumped to Heather Lloyd-Martin who is running her SEO Copywriting business in the USA. Her persona initially caught my attention because of her recent article "The SEO content writers' manifesto" which I felt like sharing with you guys:
She has outline what we, writers, do but so simple, easy and cheerful that I felt like I am, in fact, failing in my "So what do you do, Anna?" answer every single time. It is not that easy to perfectly describe your profession especially if it lays in so many different sub-industries or levels within one field. Pitching yourself as well as simply telling your story isn't everyone's cup of tea. It can be definitely taught and learnt; however it is a torture for some. Writers often find it easy and pleasurable to write about themselves as well as other matter. This is exactly why I find it very important to outsource your business's writing side to a writer. Everyone I dealt with so far see writing as a nightmare. I feel their pain because I go through just the same horror when tax season comes.
Loving what you do makes your business special. If you are selling chairs and dreading a thought of running a blog news / tips about them, make yourself a favor – outsource the bloody writing.
Listen to Instincts, not 'Experts'
I do fail to explain what I do fairly often. I attribute it to my lack of sales skills or the absence of sales person inside me. I was pleased to discover Melanie Miller and her "You're Screwed" The Top 50 Mistakes Women Make in Business understanding that I am not alone. If you love your business but hate to market it do not drown it, outsource it to someone who loves to market.
I must say I enjoyed how Melanie met the dots between our passion and the ability to sell it. Her book available online so if you have spare couple of hours and no spare dollars (kidding) I would recommend you have a read. It took me couple of train / bus trips to complete it. I am sure you can do it to!
I must say some of her tips were so simple yet often forgotten which I found very useful to read about to sort of remind myself of them. For example, do you always remember WHY you initially decided to be self-employed? The answer to it often ignites motivation or gives answers to many puzzled questions. Another favorite chapter of mine is the one mentioning that everyone is an expert, whether they really are or not. Everyone will always give their advice whether we asked for it or we didn't. However often all of these good will proposals and suggestions can harm our vision and business as a result. Don't follow blind advice! Do YOUR homework! I want to grab your attention here reminding that not doing your homework results in bad decisions. Unfortunately I am not the best example of, for example, working on documentation, I've learnt that following a very good friend's advice or many friends' advice can make us feel confident about our decision… most likely wrong decision. Fortunately, you can learn from my mistakes. I've talked to several business owners who were very certain that search engine optimisation is dead because most of other business owners shared their opinion. You wouldn't take a loan based on your friend's advice about the current interest rate, wouldn't you?! Why would you than trust them with other business decisions?
Behavioral Segmentation Watch
And of course, Sochi 2014! One of the most discussed topics today is Olympic Games happening right now. I don't have a single day when people don't ask me "are you watching the Games". Well, not really!
I am though watching the media exposing the Games, newspapers covering it and people referring to it. Olympic Games, similarly to any other important for the majority event, is a perfect soil for a well planned marketing or a public relations campaign. No matter what you are selling or offering you can somehow (but please appropriately) relate to what's happening today attracting traffic. Valentines Day, Mardi Gras , Anzac Day or Labor Day are the days businesses must be ready for, in advance. I would have been already planning my New Years campaign in couple of months if I were you.
"SEO is dead"
As I keep being bombarded with opinions on the SEO 'recent funeral', I keep researching into it meeting more people proving the rumors wrong. The other day I met the Australian Web Marketers' director. Inevitably we got caught in a conversation about SEO and where the modern digital marketing is heading to.
Without trying to advertise the guys I just want to mention what they do so I make more sense explaining my point of view. Australian Web Marketers specialise in creating professional websites that generate sales and rank high on Google by implementing all the crucial components of building a good website including design, SEO and marketing. As an SEO practitioner and a former SEO/copywriters team's member (digital agency) I've noticed that many businesses struggled to rank after,as they thought, all the SEO steps were implemented and tested. Well, you wonder why? All the struggling web sites had the worst I've ever seen navigation, lacked their contact details or were overly complicating increasing their bounce rate. I cannot stress enough how important your site is but not just the colors and the looks, ALL the components co-working together is what you need for SEO to work.
With the Hummingbird nestling cozily we need to make sure that our web sites are consistent, relevant and easily found. This is what SEO does whether you like it or not. With the update, Google can now better answer those longer-tail queries even if a page is not optimised for them. Accordingly, some pages may have a better chance of being found for certain queries now. Does it make your business suffer or simply makes it easier for the right people to find you? Yes it might be more difficult to cheat but if you are up for a long term success, play by the rules and keep up to date with the information and you will be sweet.
Here are some tips from Marketing Land I am impatient to share:
- Mobile SEO: Undoubtedly, conversational search is driven in part by the way people search when on their mobile devices. So, mobile optimisation is going to continue to be critical.
- Structured Data Markup: Providing search engines with as much information as possible about your page content helps them do their job better. Structured data can also improve click-through rates in the search results when displayed in rich snippets. Providing relevant and useful content is important – it directs your visitors and builds your reputation up. If you are still thinking blogging is a waste of time and pretty but empty website is good, you are most likely wasting your money. Moreover, writing content is crucial not for people only but for Google to make sense of your pages. Simple as that!
- Google+: Google's social network is essential in helping to identify your online brand, connecting it with concepts and serving your content in the Google results. Look, I get it, it is a Google's product and no wonder they will be pushing it. A friend or mine who is a new business venture's manager once said "none of my friends are using it. Why bother getting your brand out there?" Well, to start with Google+ is a PART of Google and we are trying here to rank in Google. Do I make sense now?
- Links: Google may not want SEOs obsessing over PageRank data, but that doesn't mean links are irrelevant. Links help Google put concepts together on the Web; they also send strong signals to Google about the credibility of your page. I have linked the information above to the site I found it on because I a) giving them the credit for it (I am not the author), b) linking to a useful for my readers source, c) citing a relevant site and d) helping Google to make sense of my blog. Don't be shy to share my link of course!
- Keyword Optimisation & Content Creation: Nowadays, it seems there is a lot of debate over the usefulness of focusing on keywords. But keywords are not dead. Quality content is crucial, and that includes at least some level of keyword optimisation. In other words, we are still using WORDS to Google things as much as our customers using words to search for us. You don't need to wear a black hat to help your customer find you.
SEO is not dead, it is misunderstood and misinterpret. If you are seeing SEO's ghosts all over your office, you've probably been wearing a black hat for too long. Don't hate the system – learn how to operate within it, learn and educate yourself, don't allow others to tell you what to do. Don't be afraid to seek a professional help but also make sure you form your own opinion.

hy Edlin Leslie Sr. Hospice?
Witnessing the suffering and many long painful bus journeys to access treatment for prostate cancer and returning on that 6 hour journey following those treatments was quite a challenge for my dad. My father finally had the opportunity to experience hospice care in Northern Virginia. It was through this experience with Capital Hospice that my dad made his dying wish: To establish hospice care in Belize so that others would not suffer the way he did. It was through this experience that I vowed to fulfill my dad's dying wish to help terminally ill people die in the comfort and security of familiar surroundings.
Named in honor of my father, Edlin Leopold Leslie Sr., Edlin Leslie Sr. Hospice and Home care is the culmination of my dream of creating a hospice that is about living one's life to the fullest, even though your days are limited. Our goal is to attend to our patients' physical, Social and spiritual needs as well as to prepare family members for the patient's passage.
Our philosophy is simple- We're Family. We are here at your time of need. If you are considering Edlin Leslie Hospice, or any hospice care, I invite you to call me personally at 626-940-7879 or e-mail- firstname.lastname@example.com. For hospice admission please call the Blissfulsage office located in Dangriga at #6 Bluefield road at 522-3890 to request our hospice referral and certification form.

"Your waking adult life is going to be spent in what you do professionally, so you'd better like the journey and not just aim for the destination." ~ Darren Hardy
"Today, financial capital is no longer the key asset. It is human capital. Success is no longer about economic competence as the main leverage. It is about emotional intelligence. It is no longer about controls. It is about collaboration. It is no longer about hierarchies. It is about leading through networks.

Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starved millions? Then you will find your doubts and yourself melting away." ~ Keshavan Nair, A Higher Standard of Leadership
"Leaders who share the strategy, financial performance, and success of the corporation with their employees create a sense of partnership with them. Partners are willing to put in the effort to develop new ideas, to work long hours in emergencies, and to act for the common interest over self-interest, thereby building competitive advantage." ~ Keshavan Nair, A Higher Standard of Leadership
"Secrecy is the enemy of trust and is responsible for much of the distrust that exists between business and society, corporations and customers, management and employees." ~ Keshavan Nair, A Higher Standard of Leadership
"I've been told that certain species of fish will grow according to the size of their environment. Put them in a tiny aquarium, and they remain small even at adulthood. Release them into a huge natural body of water, and they grow into their intended size. People are similar. If they live in a harsh and limiting environment, they stay small. But put them someplace that encourages growth, and they will expand to reach their potential." ~ John C. Maxwell, Today Matters
"Would anybody be offended if we gave a $150 million bonus to Gandhi? How about a $250 million bonus to Mother Teresa? Do we have an issue with that? None at all. Great leaders would never sacrifice the people to save the numbers. They would sooner sacrifice the numbers to save the people." ~ Simon Sinek, TED
"When a leader makes the choice to put the safety and lives of the people inside the organization first, to sacrifice their comforts and sacrifice the tangible results, so that the people remain and feel safe and feel like they belong, remarkable things happen." ~ Simon Sinek, TED
Top 10 Quotes from The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey
"People talk about businesses needing to be responsible as if it's something new we need to do on top of everything else. But the whole essence of business should be responsibility. My philosophy is, 'We don't run companies to earn profits, we earn profits to run companies.' Our companies need meaning and purpose if they're to fit into the world, or why should they live at all?" ~ Tachi Kiuchi
"All organizations are perfectly aligned to get the results they get." ~ Arthur W. Jones, Organizational design expert
"Organizations exist to make people's strengths effective and their weaknesses irrelevant. And this is the work of effective leaders." ~ Frances Hesselbein
"In my organizations I don't have employees; I have teammates. Yes, I do pay people and offer them benefits. But people don't work for me. They work with me. We are working together to fulfill the vision. Without them, I cannot succeed. Without me, they cannot succeed. We're a team. We reach our goals together. We need each other. If we didn't, then one of us is in the wrong place." ~ John C. Maxwell, Leadership Gold
"All organizations are perfectly aligned to get the results they get." ~ Stephen Covey, The 8th Habit

Although vegetables are big at Niki's, a quaint country greenmarket it is not. All around it, trucks rumble past serving warehouses where produce is loaded and shipped. The truckers eat at Niki's, but it's no typical truck stop diner. In fact, Niki's does not quite fit any genre of restaurant. It is a low-slung banquet hall with signs in its vestibule warning customers: "No Tank Tops, No Bare Feet, No Rollers on Head" and furthermore, "Smoking is not encouraged but accepted." If you can live with the rules, you enter a cool, commodious space with a nautical/Aegean theme (fish nets, scenic pictures, mounted fish) and a cafeteria line where servers sell the food with the speed and enthusiasm of an auctioneer: "Have yourself a nice little seeded roll! … Look at these smooth mashed potatoes … Don't those beef ribs look big and fine?"
Families, blue-collar and white-collar workers, bargain-hunters, and big eaters wind through the fast-moving line piling trays with plates and bowls of food. Seafood abounds – baked fish Creole, broiled mackerel, grilled amberjack – and there is always delicious baked Greek chicken, but it's vegetables that set appetite awhirl. We counted more than three dozen vegetables in the cornucopic array, including yellow squash casserole, fried green tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and three different kinds of seasoned greens (turnip, collard, and spinach), all guaranteed by one impassioned server to be "ninety-eight percent fresh, except for some dried peas we use." Some lovely items from the market are austere enough to please any fatphobe, such as sliced tomatoes, raw vegetable vinaigrette, and baby lima beans, but most of Niki's produce is prepared according to the more voluptuous southern-café tradition. Broccoli is mixed with cheese and rice in a crazy-rich melange; tomatoes are stewed with sugar and shreds of torn white bread until they become as sweet as cobbler; bright orange yams are infused with sugar; crunchy-fresh okra is sheathed in a deep-fried crust.
Among the dessert selection, we were less impressed with Niki's cream pies than with banana pudding, a baby-food bowl of custard and softened vanilla wafers. Curiously, the take-out menu lists pudding along with apple and peach cobbler – as a vegetable!

Luxury envelopes come in many different colours and dimensions, and you may keep these things imprinted to meet your needs. An embossed crest or perhaps seal about the rear of the envelope may make your envelope seem even more sophisticated, and your invitation looks much more exclusive. This could work nicely with product releases in which you would like to be discerning about your own item and then show that it's the greatest Luxury. Or if you want to make certain your product has a high end feel to it.
You can find limitless opportunities in terms of luxury envelopes. You have to obtain the color that will fit the luxury associated with the item or event that you're hosting.

You could have the invite within complementing as well as clashing with the inside of the envelope or you may even have a luxury double coloured envelope in order to really be noticeable.
And so to summarize luxury envelopes can be a really good method of creating the appropriate impact. If you're having a product launch or if you are planning a wedding or social gathering or maybe a baptism, this will likely make certain you give your party a bit of class from the beginning. In any case you want your invites to your function to be noticeable, and therefore to do this you should keep the atmosphere of splendour and luxury which you think that your own party provides. Make sure to choose the best dimensions of envelope as a way to not produce your envelope too large, and remember to barter on price to get the best offer to suit your needs. This way you can keep the concept of class and elegance all through the arranging and also design of the party.
There's a wide range of options when it comes to buying luxury envelopes and you should look at them all before making your own preference. In order to keep the unit cost low, you should definitely want to purchase in big amounts. Additionally, if you want your envelopes printing with a bit of details of your celebration or product release, you must think of buying plane envelopes and therefore printing all these on yourself to lower your charges. You can print out anything on the envelopes. If it is a christening, possibly baby's date of birth could go on there as an illustration.
To summarize utilizing luxury envelopes is the ideal approach if you want to offer an air of gravitas for your occasion. Bear in mind should you suit your envelopes together with your stationery then you're setting up a nice sleep coordinating effects the particular compliment the theme of your party or function. You will need to consider expense however and when you find a great supplier which gives a top quality luxury envelope is a great expense you should purchase from them. Do try to look for an envelope that matches in along with the actual theme of the affair, as this will prove to add an air of sophistication for your event.

Essential Dvorak
The son of a Czech innkeeper helps America find its own classical music voiceBy Gary Barton
I first "met" Antonin Dvorák in the small town of Granger, Indiana, but didn't know it at the time. My dad used to bring home bargain basement LPs from Chicago, one of which was "Music of the South" on the Acorn label. That is all it said on the disc, however. There was no composer listed, nor were a title, orchestra, conductor, opus number or key signature to be found either. But I fell in love with the music. It was around this time I began conducting imaginary orchestras. (Admit it, you've done it too.)
Eventually, I found out the work I loved was Antonin Dvorák's "New World" Symphony. It was considered Dvorák's 5th Symphony at the time, but we have since learned it was his ninth and final work in that form. The "New World" Symphony, along with the Beethoven Symphonies on 78 RPM discs my grandmother gave me, marked the beginning of an avocation and a vocation in classical music.
Dvorák was born September 8, 1841 in Nelahozeves, Bohemia. His father was an innkeeper and butcher who played the violin and zither. As a boy, Dvorák's first instrument was violin, which he learned to play in relatively little time. He was good enough to entertain his father's customers with dance tunes and sometimes-sad village melodies. He played at village fairs, sang in the church choir, visited traveling gypsies to revel in their passionate music and loved to hear the village elders sing their songs. He absorbed the music around him like a sponge.
He was sent to live with his uncle in Zlonice at age 14 to learn to speak German. There he studied with Antonin Liehmann, who quickly saw Dvorák was a gifted young musician. Dvorák was a "quick study," learning piano, viola and organ, but Liehmann soon realized the student required more sophisticated instruction and tried to convince Dvorák's father to send him to Prague. Dvorák's father adamantly refused, convinced that music was a diversion and not an occupation.
Nevertheless, when he was 16, Dvorák entered organ school in Prague. His father retaliated by cutting off his living expenses, but Dvorák decided to stay in Prague, paying his own way. He got a job in the orchestra of The National Opera when he finished school, where he worked for 11 years, but his income was so small that he could barely afford to rent a piano.
As Jonathon D. Kramer tells it is his book Listen to the Music: "Dvorák was an unknown, impoverished, 32-year-old composer when his lady-friend informed him that she was pregnant. Despite poor financial prospects, the couple hastily married. Dvorák felt an acute need for money, and he did what most unknown, impoverished composers of today do: he applied for a grant. The committee was impressed, and he got the Austrian State grant, three years in succession." Johannes Brahms was on the three-judge panel, and it was with his help that Dvorák's first works, the Moravian Dances, were published, followed by the first set of eight Slavonic Dances.
Almost overnight Dvorák's name became known all over Europe. His music was heard everywhere, in all instrumental combinations. Before the phonograph, television and radio, sheet music that could be played in the home and at social occasions was the major means of promulgating music. Slavonic Dances sold as fast as they could be printed, and Dvorák's career was launched.
Fast forward 14 years... Mrs. Jeanette Thurber, president of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City invited Dvorák to come to America to direct the institution.
Dvorák hated to leave his homeland, but the temptation of a salary 25 times more than he was earning was too much to resist. He was impressed and overwhelmed by New York City. He would not leave his lodgings or the Conservatory without someone to accompany him. The noise of the city's steam-powered elevated train system, the looming buildings and the crowds of reporters following him everywhere in search of a scoop were a trying experience.
Mrs. Thurber's goal in bringing Dvorák to America was to help our country find its "musical voice." Certainly there were respected and established American composers, but they had all studied in Europe and were writing European music. Knowing Dvorák's love for the music of indigenous peoples, Thurber hoped that he could found a school of truly "American" music. At the Conservatory, he became very interested in the music of Native Americans and traditional Afro-American spirituals and plantation songs as the basis for the "American style."
While the "New World" Symphony was taking form in Dvorák's mind, Dvorák wanted to hear some music by Native Americans. The closest Mrs. Thurber could come to fulfilling that desire was to take him to "Buffalo Bill" Cody's Wild West Show. There was a lot of hoopla, including a reenactment of Custer's last stand, but Dvorák was fascinated by the rhythm of the Indian drumming and war cries. The result was the completed symphony using many themes he had planned for an opera based on Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha." The final page of "From The New World" Symphony is inscribed: "Praise God! Completed 24 May 1893 at 9 o'clock in the morning."
It wasn't until the following summer that Dvorák had a chance to meet and listen to "genuine" Indian music, while he was taking a much-needed respite from the chaos of New York City in the Czech community of Spillville, Iowa. His English teacher/translator was from Spillville (They had met in Bohemia.), and the community of 3,000 made Dvorák feel at home. Dvorák and his new friends spent many hours talking of the old country, making music and drinking copious quantities of beer, although the town was legally dry.
Dvorák's soul soared as the hubbub of the city was left behind. His creative juices began to flow. That summer he wrote his "American Quartet" (No. 12 in F, Op. 96), and his String Quintet in E flat, Op. 97. He wrote the Sonatina in G for Violin & Piano, Op. 100 for his children. (It was actually Opus 98, but he added a couple of digits to make it an even 100 to please the children.) The 2nd movement of the Sonatina was inspired by Dvorák's first visit to Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. He sketched the theme on one of his starched shirtcuffs, as he also habitually notated birdsong and other inspirations much to the chagrin of the family's laundress.
Dvorák wrote home that he could spend the rest of his life in Spillville, but he had to return to his duties at the Conservatory in New York in the autumn, and he didn't stay as long as been planned. Mrs. Thurber's generosity was ultimately curtailed as she lost most of her husband's fortune in the stock market. Dvorák's paychecks started arriving late, and he and his family eventually returned to Europe while he still had the resources, never again to set foot on American soil.

Dvorák in America: In Search of the New WorldBy Joseph HorowitzCricket Books
There is an excellent book available on this period of Dvorák's life. Author Joseph Horowitz makes very clear the importance Dvorák saw in spirituals and work songs; the book begins with a chapter on Harry Burleigh, whose grandfather had been a slave and had been allowed to buy his freedom for $50. Harry's mother had a college degree and taught Sunday school at a predominantly white church. A collection was taken up in Erie Pennsylvania, his hometown, in 1829 to send Burleigh to New York. He was 25. At Burleigh's audition with Dvorák he sang as he played piano first "Go Down, Moses" and then "Deep River." Dvorák was reduced to tears by Burleigh's singing.
There were 800 white students in the National Conservatory of Music, and it was the goal of Dvorák and Mrs. Thurber to find at least that many young black students from all parts of the country who, if capable, would be allowed to study there free of any tuition. Through the help of the Afro-American students in the conservatory, spirituals became one of the inspirations of Dvorák's American "school" of music.

Box of Justin Bieber's Hair, Yes Just the Hair, Will Be Making Appearance in Miami
Categories: The Z List
The charity auction, which featured the locks in a signed, acrylic cube, was won by the ever publicity hungry Golden Palace online casino. They've loaned the hair to Stone Rose, a men's clothing line, and according to Radar Online, the hair will be making an appearance at Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge in Miami Beach on March 29th.
This is literally one of the creepiest things we've ever heard of, yet, at least there's an underlying good cause. Fans will be urged to make a donation for the privilege of having their picture with the hair. Proceeds will go to Operation USA to help with the recovery in Japan. The first 50 fans will get a Bieber poster.
We're not sure what happens to the hair afterwords, but we hear its agent is trying to sign it on to a remake of The Addam's Family to play It.

Bear steals iPad, food at San Bernardino lake
POSTED: Monday, September 24, 2012 - 1:30pm
UPDATED: Monday, September 24, 2012 - 1:34pm
San Bernardino, CA (KTLA) — A bear came a bit too close for comfort as families tried to enjoy their weekend at a lake in the San Bernardino National Forest.
Jesse Dinkel, who captured the video Saturday and sent it to KTLA, said he was fishing by himself at the crowded Jenks Lake.
Earlier in the day, the bear managed to run off with a backpack that contained an iPad, Dinkel said.
But he figured it was safe to return to the shore, this time rummaging through a family's belongings on a picnic table.
The video shows families stunned and slowly walking away, making noises to distract the bear.
"It was crazy," Dinkel said. "He was really not shy."
He then grabbed a tupperware full of food before retreating back to the woods.
Dinkel said park employees did come to the shore to investigate, but after finding no sign of the bear, didn't ask patrons to leave.
Forrest officials say bear sightings are quite common at Jenks Lake and that any sighting "wouldn't be anything stunning."
And as for the guy whose backpack and iPad were stolen? The goods were nowhere to be found.

Dolce & Gabbana
When Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana launched their line of sexy, audacious women's wear in 1985, they helped revolutionize how women dressed. They also quickly became the darlings of the fashion press and of such high-profile celebrities as Madonna who recently appeared in an advertising campaign for the brand. Of the major luxury brands, Dolce & Gabbana is certainly one of the boldest; leopard prints and exotic skins have become signature characteristics of the collections. Other notable pieces include sultry bustier dresses, flashy handbags with attention-garnering trims, crocodile accessories, and blouses in loud unapologetic prints. Dolce & Gabbana is anything but safe. Bucking the conservative trend of Madison Avenue, the label has successfully found a place among the fashion elite.

Date: Oct-01-2014 for a stay in Mar 2013
I went skiing with a few friends. Our room was clean and homey. It wasn't huge but had a great location and the hot tub was very nice. Great access to shops and the shuttle bus was right outside to take us to the hill. All of the condos look the same and one of my friends got lost after a night out! We would go back, however.

William Hague opens new British embassy in Somalia
Foreign Secretary William Hague has opened a new British embassy in Mogadishu - the first time the UK has had one in Somalia since 1991.
The UK is the first European Union country to reopen an embassy in the country since the Federal Government of Somalia was established last year.
Mr Hague said Somalia had been through a "dramatic shift", but continues to face "huge challenges".
The prime minister will host a Somalia Conference in London on 7 May.
The conference, which will be co-hosted by Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, aims to provide co-ordinated international support for the new government as it rebuilds the country after two decades of conflict.
'No illusions'Speaking from the new embassy site, the foreign secretary said: "We should be under no illusions as to the sustained efforts that will be required, in Somalia and from its international partners, to ensure that Somalia continues to make progress."
A faded, evidently old flag is hoisted above the newly opened British Embassy in Mogadishu. Then it is lowered and a newer, brighter flag goes up the mast. The union jack is back in the city after 22 years.
Somalia's president Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud describes this event as a significant step for his country.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague re-opened the embassy in Mogadishu, signalling the rekindling of more solid ties between the two countries. "We will help bring development needed for long-term peace and prosperity," says Mr. Hague.
A look around the embassy tells the story of a country ravaged by years of civil war.
The embassy is actually six shipping containers customised to serve as offices. Tonnes of sand-filled blast-proof fencing surround the area. It is the first European embassy to return to the Horn of Africa country. Mogadishu is slowly recovering.
He said the opening of the embassy was "testament" to the strength of the UK/Somalia bilateral relationship.
"We will continue to work closely with the Somalia government on shared priorities, which include tackling conflict, countering terrorism and piracy, providing humanitarian assistance, and promoting UK interests in Somalia," he added.
Accompanied by the president, the foreign secretary opened the "core office" of the new embassy, which consists of six customised shipping containers at Mogadishu International Airport, with a short ceremony and flag-raising.
British Ambassador Matt Baugh, who had been working from Nairobi in Kenya because of security concerns, will move into the office, but the rest of the embassy compound is not expected to be completed until the end of July.
The former British embassy, located close to the port, was closed in January 1991 following the overthrow of the government, and the building is now a ruin.
During his visit to Mogadishu, Mr Hague also met with representatives of Somali civil society to discuss the prevention of sexual violence.
Mr Hague is leading efforts amongst G8 foreign ministers to tackle sexual violence in conflict and has announced £10m of fresh UK funding to support efforts against it.

So to sum it up. Fiddlesticks is the perfect hero to get as much MPEN on as possible, and worry about stacking AP last. He has below average AP ratios. He has high base damage on his spells. And his DOT spells (drain and crowstorm) perform half damage at half second ticks and MR is applied each tick. The problem is, there are not many MPEN items. Recommended: Sorcerer's Shoes Haunting Guise *maybe Abyssal Scepter For more info: http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...=2#post7417645 questions?
Just one question. Is it really necessary to treat AP like an orphaned child because of slightly below average ratios?
he isnt too OP, with the tanky-dps meta he just can ult in and sweep the enemy team without probably dying himself. i would say MRpen is good, but i think getting some AP is good after all you have boots and your passive to strip almost all MR from a carry.
ya hes op
Every single champion that uses AP does better with MPen than AP. That being said, MPen isn't on many items, so your choice isn't really between AP and MPen. Your choice is actually between the MPen item and other options for that slot. Not clear on the distinction? Let me clarify with three examples... 1) Sorc Shoes vs Merc Treads. This iss not an AP versus MPen question, it's a question on if you need the reduction in CC or not. 2) Haunting Guise vs something else... this is more of a question of if you want midgame power or lategame power. Haunting guise is unbelievably strong (simply because it has MPen), but it doesn't build into anything. If you get a haunting guise you are going for power-now versus power in your final build. If Haunting guise had an upgrade that simply gave it more of what it already has, it would be a complete staple in every single AP build - again, simply because of the MPen. 3) Abyssal Scepter - this is more of a question of if you could use the MR or not, as well as if it's better getting void staff or this. Ask yourself: Am I going glass cannon against MR stackers? go Void staff. Do they have at least 2 AP nukers and aren't heavily stacking MR? Get Abyssal Scepter. You almost always want one or the other, and the only reason you don't want both is because one is % MPen and one is flat MPen, and the way that they interact (flat MPen happens first, then % Mpen doesn't take away as much, therefore % Mpen is worth less the more flat MPen you have). Stacking both generally is overkill and you get more mileage out of other things. However, if both offered flat MPen you'd likely see both in every AP build. In summary, posts like this aren't relevant, simply because of the options of MPen as they currently exist in the game. This post would only be relevant if Riot introduced a new item called "Magic Penetration Deathcap", 50 magic pen, increases your total flat magic penetration by 30%, or "Needlessly Large MPen Stick", 1600g, 40 Magic Pen, and have that build into lategame stuff.... i.e. core Mpen items that build into later items. Those items don't exist however, so you never choose between AP and Mpen, but rather between what type of Mpen you want, and when you want to be more powerful, midgame or lategame. Right now, it's not even a question of AP vs MPen.
Why do people always say MPen vs. AP. Why can't you get both. Abyssal Sceptre is great on him, works perfect with his passive. Provides BOTH Mpen and AP. @Suuperdad, most of your points are correct. But not all champions that use AP always use MPen. Look at Soraka. Look at Taric. Healers don't need MPen. Obviously some champions are better off with stacking AP.
Runes masteries boots passive I run mpen marks, mpen quints (even in jungle, could switch to MS though), 9 down offense. 14 flat 15% base. Add on passive, never remember what it is Sorc boots- The standard squishy with merc treads and no mr glyphs will have 0 MR vs fiddle. Void/ abysall ok if they pick up BV's.
All you need is Offensive 9 and Void staff; then you can stack AP and some defenses. Reason: most of the time when you start pwning with your ulti, they will get MR over 100...in which case Void staff will be better than getting a bunch of other items and you can even replace the sorc boot with something to improve other areas. Obviously Magic penetration is important. AP-only is only going to work well for healers or anyone against crappy opponents who are getting pwned and still refuse to get even one MR item.
Junior Member
The thing is, if you go MPEN runes then you can forego the items. Most characters don't buy Mresist stuff until mid-late game and you can't go below 0 for Mpen, it's a waste to go MPEN first. Just my two cents.
