Josh Grider is a songwriter/country recording artist. His latest and greatest is the 4/29/14 release entitled 'Luck and Desire'. www.joshgrider.com.
It obviously takes some degree of talent to make it in the music business. It also takes killer songs that mesh the perfect lyric with a fitting and compelling arrangement. But perhaps the hardest, most frustrating part of the whole ordeal are the roles that timing, cosmic alignment, being in the right place at the right time, and pure unadulterated passion play. That matrix of unidentifiable variables that come together for some, while conspiring against others is what Josh Grider explores on his newest album, Luck & Desire.
Luck & Desire didn't start out as an album title. "'Luck and Desire was just this song I had about songwriters and the music business." Josh explains. "One day Jeff Middleton (co-writer) and I were talking about all the folks, ourselves included, that come to Nashville chasing a dream. They'll lose money, time, and spouses, even their minds trying to figure out how to make it in this crazy business. We talked about how opportunity has so little to do with talent, and so much to do with timing. That led us to this idea of personifying desire and luck, and the interplay they have. You gotta get lucky, but a lot of that is just hanging around long enough for the chance, and even then there are no guarantees."
Josh got his chance. The Las Cruces, New Mexico native moved to Nashville by way of Texas in early 2011 just to "try something different." There, he hung around Music Row for a few years meeting fellow songwriters, signing a publishing deal, and building a network of like-minded peers who challenged his writing and supported his dreams. One of them was fellow singer/songwriter and soon-to-be producer, Trent Willmon. The connection was mighty. "He's savvy," Josh explains. "He understands what being an artist is. He understands what being a writer is. He understands Texas and Nashville, and he understands the road. He understands so much of what I do, and the proof is in the pudding. We made a great record."
That was the goal—to make a great record. But for Josh, it was about more than just making an album that would sell well or produce a litany of number-one hits. He says his goal was "to make something artistically satisfying enough for the purist in me, but relatable enough that I could play it for my dad." He pauses and explains, "My dad is a smart guy, but he's not a studied musician or anything, he's just a lover country music." Indeed he is. He raised Josh on the classics, the legends. Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins and Willie Nelson are the foundation that Grider builds on, but his own generation of musical peers is also present in his music. "Dave Matthews was a huge influence. John Mayer and Chris Thile make me want to just quit," he laughs. "I'm just blown away by everything those guys do. I could never do what they do, but I'm certainly challenged by them. For me, they are setting the bar for songwriters in our generation."
Before you discount Josh as another young artist trying to "pop" the country format, listen to his explanation of how his diverse musical influences, which also include a generous dose of Garth Brooks Tracy Lawrence, Alan Jackson…and even a touch of Dr. Dre…meld: "I always say, if my musical influence was a house, it's built on a rock solid concrete foundation of country. But, there's a blues room I can walk in and a jazz room and a classical room, but no matter how many rooms there are, I'm always standing on country."
Josh's confidence is unflappable. His mix of traditional and modern influences has combined to make a living, breathing collection of songs that range from ethereal and pensive, to light-hearted and downright funny. He makes no more apologies for his electronic loops than he does for his thoughtful lyrics. He proudly says, "I'm not ashamed of one thing on this record. I love traditional country music, but I doubt anybody will call this a traditional country album. I've got all the respect in the world for what was done, but I also believe that you've got to keep moving the ball forward. New stuff has got to keep happening. I'm not going to do it better than Haggard did it, so I'm not going to try and do that. I need to sound like me. My goal is to be greater than the sum of my influences. Not better than, but distinguishable from. Hopefully that's what you'll hear in Luck & Desire."
The formally trained singer, who remembers pressing, "play" on his Fisher Price tape recorder to hear Ricky Skaggs "Heartbroke," always knew country was where he belonged. Even though he played guitar in a jazz combo in high school, and received a scholarship to attend college and study classical voice, it only took one night performing in a Waco honky-tonk for Josh's relationship with his roots to be cemented. "There was this night at Six-Shooter Junction in Waco, Texas. We had a little thrown-together band and played some cover songs, and I was done. I had already been in this little jazz thing, and they wanted me to sing classical at school, but fronting a band and singing country songs was the place I knew I was meant to be."
Josh began putting pen to paper in high school and soon realized his passion. He beams when he says, "Writing is my favorite thing in the world. I'm very fortunate to be given the ability to deliver what I write, and I guess that's why singing the songs I wrote is my second favorite thing in the world." Writing is more than a job for Josh. It's a passion that allows him to chronicle his life, and a therapy that helps him make sense of the world around him. When speaking about song selection for Luck and Desire he says, "I just started looking at what I had been writing and all of the sudden these themes of want, and need, and desire, and getting or not getting what you want started surfacing." According to Josh, that is just what seems to happen. "There will be seasons in my life and things that I go through that will definitely influence my writing. It's really neat to go back and look at how the songs reflect what I was going through in my life and how I was trying to work it out musically."
He's a thinking man's writer with an incredible baritone voice that delivers lyrics directly to his listener's soul. But he also has a keen funny bone, and he cleverly bookends Luck & Desire with evidence to both of this attributes. He calls the title track the entrance music to this melodic movie and "One Night Taco Stand" the hilarious outtake reel. Listen closely—the front end of the album is loaded with luck, but the project wraps with pure desire.
There is, too, an unspoken theme to Luck & Desire that Josh is most proud of. "Luck and Desire definitely play a big thematic role in this album," he says. "But that particular song sort of ends sadly for desire. I think there's more hope than that in the record. Overall, I want there to be hope, because I have hope. Without it what the hell is the point? I say focus on the good and believe that something good is going to happen, and it just might."

With their roots planted in McKinney, Texas The Tyler Rogers Band is a rather fresh faced band on the Texas music scene. Front man Tyler Rogers has been playing in and fronting bands for nearly a decade. His early days spent in Hard Rock bands. Tyler's north Texas influences are clearly apparent by the rock aspect of their original music. Tyler also spent 4 years in Lubbock, Texas attending Texas Tech University where he was first exposed, and heavily influenced by the "Red Dirt" scene. It was really during this time that the signature sound was cultivated. With the perfect mix of "Red Dirt" and "Rock N' Roll" oozing from their veins, The TRB is currently trying to create that momentum to move from local to regional beyond there the sky is the limit.
"The Statesboro Revue is in the process of re-defining rock and roll, refusing to let blues and country, the real roots of rock music, fall by the wayside. Stewart and the Statesboro Revue are trying to remind America what rock music is really all about: soul. Mann's voice, songs, and band have that in spades." Andy Hertsch, Vail Daily News

Jarrod Birmingham's CD, "No Apologies," spawned a 1 single and earned the country music outlaw a top ten spot in the Best Of Texas Top 30 songs of the year.
He has been compared to Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams, Jr. and producer Eric Paul described the country traditionalist as "the first real singer of the 21st century." Humbled by the accolades, Birmingham attributes his pure and gritty musical style to his true grit life style.
"I believe that country music should reflect the common people," says Birmingham. "That's pretty much my mission statement, to stay grounded in the knowledge that I'm a blue collar individual, a country boy. There are a lot of people out there like me, and I'd like to be their voice."
This South Texas native is no manufactured "hat act." Birmingham is a REAL cowboy. A former professional bullrider who has enough pins, plates and screws in his body to make it difficult to pass an airport scanner, Birmingham's music is steeped in stark realism.
"I never really quit riding bulls," he laughs. "The music just sort of took over. But, what you see is what you get when you deal with me, and that is how I want to come across through my music."

Night Shelters conference
Housing Justice, the national Christian housing and homelessness campaigning charity, has held its first ever National Night Shelters Conference. More than 100 people attended "Night Shelters: Now is the Time" last week, from churches and community groups, local authorities, insurers, funders, and housing and homelessness organisations.
The charity launched the forum for church and community winter shelters in 2003 and has been involved in supporting the development of more than 40 new shelter schemes in London and nationally since then.
Housing Justice supports this growing network of shelters with advice, consultancy and training and is now working towards launching a new Night Shelter Quality Mark, previewed at the conference by Director of Projects, Alastair Murray.
Several night shelters expressed interest in piloting the new Quality Mark, which will set an achievable benchmark of best practice for churches and community groups to follow.
Mr Murray spoke of Housing Justice's vision that "everyone should have a home suitable to their needs". He said, 'No one pretends that a bed on a church floor is an answer to everyone's housing need, but it's a good starting point. Certainly better than sleeping on a park bench or in a shop doorway.'
As churches and others respond to growing homelessness in their communities it is vital that this work is done to a good standard, he continued. Funders, insurers and local authorities need to know that shelters are operating safely and effectively for their guests, staff and volunteers and the local community.
Other speakers included Maggie Williams of the East London Housing Partnership, who spoke of "growing needs and shrinking budgets" in her keynote presentation. She said, 'During the severe weather provision, community and faith groups provided 57 per cent of total individual bed nights, some working in partnership with statuary and third sector organisations.'
Rick Henderson, CEO of Homeless Link opened his talk with the challenging question: "What failures in our system mean that homeless men and women need to plan their lives night be night?" He went on to say that Homeless Link still "continues to defend services for homeless people while working to end homelessness"
Matt Bird of the Cinnamon Network spoke about how they are trying to make it as easy as possible for the average local church to help those people most at need in the community. There are now over 3,235 local churches leading a Cinnamon Network recognised project, mobilising over 50,000 volunteers, helping 722,000 beneficiaries every year. Night Shelter is one such project.
Paul Reily, Housing Justice Shelter Liaison, drew attention to the work of the London shelters, presented in the Housing Justice Community Night Shelter Report from September 2013. He said, 'This report celebrates the life changing work of the Community Night Shelter Movement in London; without it 1400 people's lives would have been more miserable last winter, and some of them may not have survived to see the spring.'

As David and Sarah strive to have the relationship they've always dreamed of, they are forced to face the implications of the lives they've chosen.
About this project
Greetings future friends and loved ones!
Allow us to introduce ourselves.
We are Maria and Alejandro, two independent filmmakers lucky to live in the beautiful San Francisco. We met a little over a year ago, at a film co-op in the city (Scary Cow Productions). From our very first conversation, we became partners in film and crime. Truth is, both of us coming from small town backgrounds, arrived in this city by chance (fate perhaps?) at the same time, with the same goals and dreams, and feeling equally lost, yet with matching passion and determination. As story tellers, we quickly learned to stop talking over each other, and complement our work instead. We've made three shorts, they have been fun.
So we wanna make a movie. A long one this time. And we have a pretty good start.
The story:
Women and Cigarettes is a love story of two characters confronting social standards and judgements in completely different circle's of society. David, the middle son in a wealthy and successful family, supports himself as a door to door makeup salesman. He meets Sarah, an aspiring photographer, who supports herself as a stripper. Both fearful of judgement as they fall in love, find themselves entangled in a web of lies, rumors, and misconceptions that they must overcome if their love is strong enough to keep them together.
What we have:
*A finished script. And it's gooood.
*An amazing and talented production and post production team working for pure love of the art and food.
* Each other.
We had a very successful table reading on February 20th, got great feedback and made some excellent adjustments to the script. We are planning on a 5 week shoot, all of August and the first week of September. Right now, we are in the early stages of preproduction; location scouting, auditioning, scheduling, getting our shot list together... Things are going swimmingly.
What we need:
*Location fees.
*Equipment rental fees.
*Actors. Alive, well fed and sheltered.
This is where you come in. You get to help us tell the story. We have a tight team of passionate people who produce amazing work, but we need to make sure all of these costs are covered before we catapult ourselves into production. In exchange, you get to be updated and involved in a unique and personal way.
And on top of that I (Maria) and I (Alejandro) will love (yes, LOVE) you (uhuh baby) FOREVER.

Comments from Joe Vogel
Showing 6,626 - 6,650 of 9,863 comments
The August 12, 1950, issue of Boxoffice said the Flatirons Theatre would be ready to open about October 1. The new theater was designed by Lakewood, Colorado, architect Byron Kaufman.
From Boxoffice, August 31, 1970, an article about the National with several photos.
It looks like the Minturn didn't open in 1937, but only got a name change. The May 8 issue of Boxoffice that year said that it had previously been called the Jewel.
The Minturn must have been doing OK in the 1960s, as the January 29, 1968, issue of Boxoffice said that operator Lloyd Greve had rebuilt the interior, added air conditioning, redecorated and installed new draperies.
Either Lloyd Greve or his father, John Greve, is mentioned as the owner or operator of the Minturn in all the Boxoffice items I can find mentioning the house from 1943 until 1971, when the September 13 issue said that Lloyd Greve had sold the theater to John T. O'Leary.
After this the Minturn changed hands frequently. The January 22, 1973, Boxoffice said that Michael Barry and Bill Pence would be opening the Minturn Movie on the 27th of that month.
A Michael Palmer had taken over by 1975, when the October 13 issue of Boxoffice reported yet another remodeling, one which gave the building "…a new front and marquee installation. The theatre is now done in a western motif."
Boxoffice of January 29, 1979, reported that yet another operator, Jim Douras, had installed a new screen and automated the booth. I haven't found the theater mentioned after that.
According to Boxoffice of May 7, 1949, the architect of the Metro was John J. McNamara, with Cairo architect Gaston Rossi as associate. The Boxoffice item said that Loews also operate a Metro Theatre in Cairo, which had opened in 1940.
An ad for Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. in Boxoffice of May 7, 1949 featured a picture of the entrance and marquee of the Daniel Webster Theatre. The caption named the architect of the theater as Michael J. DeAngelis.
Boxoffice of May 7, 1949, said that the architect of Underwood & Ezell's new Trail Drive-In was Jack Corgan.
The second paragraph of my previous comment should read "…a February 11, 1974 Boxoffice item."
The former West Park Theatre was scheduled to open soon as the Parkway Theatre, according to Boxoffice of November 16, 1935. It had been entirely remodeled inside and out. The house had been closed for about two years before the remodeling began, according to an earlier Boxoffice item. I've been unable to discover when the West Park opened.
The Parkway was closed for several months following a fire in late 1973, according to a February 11, 1973, Boxoffice item announcing its reopening.
In addition to the Parkway and Roxian, McKees Rocks supported at least three other theaters. These were the Orpheum (Shea's Orpheum), open before 1935 and closed in 1959; The Regent, open before 1935, in which year it suffered a fire, and closed in the spring of 1956; and the Colony, 720 Broadway, apparently opened in 1931 and closed in April, 1952.
An article about the Durkee circuit's new Ambassador Theatre appeared in Boxoffice of December 14, 1935. The only photographs in the article depict the front and the projection booth, but there is considerable description.
The Sandra Theatre opened on July 23, 1939. A few months later a photo of its front appeared in the November 11 issue of Boxoffice. The theater was designed by one of Wichita's leading architects of the period, Lorentz Schmidt, who was better known for designing many schools throughout Kansas. The Sandra was probably his only commercial theater design, though he undoubtedly had much practice with school auditoriums.
The Sandra Theatre was built for husband and wife T.H. and Merta Slothower, who operated it until 1942 and then leased it to Fox, according to and article about the Slothowers in Boxoffice of March 29, 1952. The April 1, 1950, issue of Boxoffice called this the Fox Sandra Theatre, and said that it was switching to an art film policy. It was seldom mentioned in Boxoffice after that, though the Slothowers were mentioned frequently, operating several theaters in the region into the 1970s.
Here is a three page article about the Beekman, with several photos, in Boxoffice, June 7, 1952.
Page 15-A of the newspaper Mike Rivest linked to just above says that the Majestic was designed by architects Pettigrew & Worley.
Boxoffice had a photo of the auditorium of the Park Theater, taken about an hour after the ceiling collapsed.
Seeing the size of the place in the photo, I'd say 390 was closer to the actual seating capacity than 1,200 is, even though Boxoffice itself gave 1,200 as the capacity in another issue. A picture is worth a thousand words- or in this case, minus eight hundred or so seats.
The Pines Theatre was originally operated by the Jefferson Amusement Company, and replaced an earlier house at Silsbee the circuit had bought in 1937. This was a 300-seat theater called the Palace, which was condemned in 1947.
Was there a theater built at Bluefield in 1917 or 1918? The March 6, 1917, issue of The Ohio Architect Engineer and Builder has this item: "Architects C.C. and E.A. Weber… have completed preliminary plans for a theater and arcade…. The structure will be two stories and basement, 129x62 feet and will be erected in Bluefield, W. Va…."
A cursory search of Boxoffice turns up half a dozen theaters in Bluefield not yet listed on Cinema Treasures. The Weber brothers' project might have been any of them, or might have been the Colonial. I found one Boxoffice item about a fellow who began his theater career working at the Colonial in 1919, so it must have opened in the teens, not the twenties.
Chris and Edward Weber were well known architects in the region in the early 20th century, and designed Kentucky's governor's mansion, among other notable structures.
A.N. and Emil Zeiler opened the Paris Drive-In on June 5, 1950. In the opening announcement in Boxoffice of June 17, the surname Zeiler was misspelled as Seiler. A.N. Zeiler (his first name was Aloysius, though Boxoffice usually refers to him as Ollie) was usually mentioned as the manager for the first few years.
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Zeiler were the operators of the Paris Drive-In when Boxoffice of August 11, 1975, ran an item about the drive-in's 25th anniversary.
A June 5, 1954, Boxoffice article about the installation of a miniature train at the Paris Drive-In is interesting for providing one of only three references I've found to a second drive-in at Paris. It says that Zeiler "…got his first competition…." that year. An August 8, 1953, item datelined Paris says that the K. Lee Williams circuit had bought a site for a 500 car drive-in which would be completed by the next summer. A January 25, 1960, item about the Logan Theatre says that the Williams circuit also operated the Strand and Auto theaters at Paris.
Boxoffice of July 31, 1948, said that C.H. and William Glenn Balch were preparing plans for a drive-in at Bell Gardens for Pacific Drive-Ins.
As the firm of Balch & Balch had been dissolved a few years earlier, and William Glenn Balch had formed a partnership with Louis L. Bryan in 1946, I'm not sure if the inclusion of Clifford Balch in the notice was not just an error by somebody at Boxoffice who didn't know about the elder Balch's retirement.
In any case, William Balch had already designed other drive-ins and was almost certainly the lead architect on the Bell Gardens project. Balch & Bryan had several drive-in projects underway in 1948.
The Balch in the firm of Balch, Bryan, Perkins, Hutchason was William Glenn Balch, the considerably younger brother of theater architect Clifford Balch. Following the dissolution of the firm of Balch & Balch, in 1946 Clifford Balch formed a partnership with Louis L. Bryan. Balch & Bryan became Balch, Bryan, Perkins, Hutchason, Architects in 1953, with the addition of partners John Loring Perkins and W.K. Hutchason.
Here is a Boxoffice article about the Star Theatre. It notes that William Glenn Balch had "…designed over 180 southland theatres over the last 25 years…."
A small night photo of the Los Feliz appeared in Boxoffice of June 29, 1935. The caption attributes the design of the theater to architect Clifford Balch.
Boxoffice of July 31, 1948, said that Los Angeles architects Russell & Samaniego were preparing plans for a theater to be built by Griffith Enterprises on Imperial Highway in Inglewood. I've been unable to find the opening year for the Imperial, but the theater won an award for its signage from the Wagner Sign Company in 1950.
The partnership of architects George Vernon Russell and Eduardo J. Samaniego was in existence from 1946 to 1950. They designed at least one of the department stores that J.C. Penney was putting up in suburban business districts around Southern California during this period (the one at Van Nuys.) As those J.C. Penney stores all looked much alike, perhaps they designed others as well. I've been unable to discover if they designed any theaters other than the Imperial.
Russell was one of the architects of the Sunset Plaza shopping center (1934-1936) on the Sunset Strip, in collaboration with Charles Selkirk, who had been one of the architects of the Alex Theatre in Glendale. George Russell was also the original architect of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas (1945), though he was ousted before the Flamingo was completed, when Bugsy Siegel took over the project from its originator, William Wilkerson.
George Russell's partner Eduardo Samaniego had an interesting connection to the movies. His older brother, Ramon Samaniego, became an actor during the silent era, adopting the more easily pronounced screen name Ramon Novarro.
Another interesting movie connection involving the Imperial is that the theater was taken over not long after it opened by Phil Isley, whose daughter was actress Jennifer Jones. Isley had cause to regret this attempt to break into the California market, as the Imperial and two other recently built luxury theaters he acquired there, the La Tijera and the California, lost more than a million dollars over a period of three years, according to an article (lower left corner) in Boxoffice of December 20, 1952.
The Imperial had a rather sketchy history, opening and closing several times under different operators. At least it survived as a theater longer than Isley's La Tijera, which was converted into a bowling alley less than three years after it opened. I've been unable to identify the location of the third Isley house mentioned in the Boxoffice article, the California. Does anybody know which California Theatre it was?
Photos of the marquee and auditorium of this splendid little Art Moderne theatre can be seen in this Boxoffice article from December 6, 1941. There is also a ground-floor plan of the Grove and its parent theater, the Redlands, which shows the relationship between the two houses.
The Yale Theatre was indeed located in a former livery stable, and the stable had been built in 1902 by Clem V. Rogers, Will Rogers' father. In 1915, it was converted into a garage, and soon after that into a movie theater, according to this Boxoffice magazine article of August 20, 1938. The drastic Deco/Moderne makeover done in the 1930s was designed by the Dallas architectural firm Corgan & Moore.
The May 5, 1955, issue of Boxoffice has this article about the Studio Theatre/url], which was the Linden Theatre renamed. The article says that the Linden had been closed for nearly five years when it was bought by the Associated circuit in 1955, remodeled, and reopened as the Studio with an art film policy.
A photo of the Carefree Theatre as it originally looked can be seen in Boxoffice, July 29, 1950. The name on the marquee is a bit ambiguous. It might have been the Carefree Theatre or the Carefree Center Theatre.
The building housed several entertainment and convenience facilities, as described in the Boxoffice article, and the operation as a whole was apparently called the Carefree Center. The article calls the theater itself just the Carefree Theatre, though.
Both of the Palm Beach Post articles linked above have vanished. I hope the Boxoffice link works longer.
This house was once called the Wiggins Theatre, and was operated by A.P. Wiggins. He sold the theater to K. Lee Williams Theatres in 1942, and the August 8 issue of Boxoffice reported that it had been reopened as the Logan after extensive remodeling. The earliest mention of the Wiggans I've found was in 1939, but it might have been operating before then.
Boxoffice of February 5, 1949, reported that the three-story building housing the Logan Theatre and the apartment occupied by its manager, H.C. Williams, had been destroyed by fire. On December 10, 1949, Boxoffice said the K. Lee Williams circuit intended to build a 750-seat theater to replace the one that had burned the previous winter. However, the June 24, 1950, issue said that the remodeling of the Logan, which had been "…heavily damaged by fire last year…." was nearing completion. The house was rebuilt in the stadium style, with 600 seats.
I've found the Logan Theatre mentioned in Boxoffice as late as January 18, 1965. I've been unable to discover when the name was changed to Paris Theatre.
A January 25, 1960, Boxoffice article about K. Lee Williams Theatres' plans to keep the Logan Theatre open only four days a week says this: "Williams Theatres of De Queen also operates the Strand and Auto theatres here." That's the only mention of an Auto Theatre in Paris that I've come across. I don't think it was another name for the Paris Drive-In, which a 1975 Boxoffice item said had always been operated by the Zeiler family. It's also the last mention of the Strand I can find.
The Strand was pretty old, though. The earliest mention of the Strand I've found is in the Motion Picture Times of November 17, 1928. Boxoffice of July 3, 1937, reported that the Strand had been completely remodeled. The house is mentioned frequently through the 1940s and early 1950s, then vanishes after 1960 until the November 21, 1977, issue of Boxoffice reported that the old Strand Theatre at Paris was being demolished to make way for a bank parking lot. It must have been closed for along time by then.
The Paris Drive-In was opened on June 5, 1950, by Mr. and Mrs. Emil Zeiler (an item announcing the opening spelled the name Seiler and included Emil's brother Aloysius as a co-owner.) The Zeilers were still the operators when Boxoffice of August 11, 1975, ran an item about the drive-in's 25th anniversary.

I am increasingly of the opinion that, whilst it is great to keep up with people I know and love on Facebook, I am losing something too. My very best friend is NOT on Facebook and I have to make the effort to touch base with her via email, SMS and actual phone calls. It IS much more personal that way. I tend not to look at Facebook as often through the day as I used to (used to always be open in the background). Some days I don't even look at it at all. However, Twitter IS open all the time - keeping me up to date with conferences, media announcements and the latest articles and developments in my profession. I LOVE it. I can actually see a day coming where I leave Faccebook behind and concentrate communicating on a more personal level with friends and use Twitter even more as an information professional.

My feeling is, if the relationship started at school and the students are in school together, the school (as well as students and parents) has a responsiblity to that student. Particularly if the images or scandal is being further distributed via the "schoolyard network" of peers. Once the students start sharing stuff with other students I think it becomes school and parent/home terrirtory. Because the kids are all so connected via social media the lines get blurred very quickly, which is why everyone needs to be aware and vigilant. Kids just don't seem to understand that split second decision to share someting inappropriate can ruin lives and reputations almost instantly.

We should share this with adults. I know teachers (I use the word loosely) who scream at their audience, attack dissenting voices, and do not check spelling and grammar because it is more important to be out there than be a good role model. The interesting thing is the teaches who do this do it face-to-face and digitally. |

The Milwaukee Public Schools Board has again delayed action on facilitating access to domestic partner benefits for MPS employees.
The current application process is more burdensome than any used by other employers in Wisconsin, say equality advocates.
The Milwaukee LGBT Community Center will observe Domestic Violence Awareness Month with a candlelight vigil in honor of LGBTQ survivors of intimate partner violence at 7 p.m. on Oct. 23 in the courtyard outside the center, 1110 N. Market Street.
The center operates Milwaukee's Anti-Violence Program (AVP), which launched in 2001 to provide services to LGBT survivors of crimes, including intimate-partner violence (IPV), hate crimes or sexual assault. Services include counseling, case management and legal advocacy.

Aging lesbian partners make a humorous and touching break for the Canadian border. A stirring documentary chronicles one group's struggle against the AIDS epidemic. Gay men and transgenders fight for survival in three different homosexual-intolerant countries.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin's largest newspaper, has announced that it will not make political endorsements this year.
The newspaper took a lot of heat for backing Supreme Court Justice David Prosser last year as well as Gov. Scott Walker in his recent recall election, even though the endorsements in both cases read to many people like apologies for the embattled candidates they backed.
Women's Voices Milwaukee is inviting women to go "boo" and catch a beat at the Girls Ghostly Gala, a dance the group hopes to make a highlight on the fall social calendar.
Despite being gay since birth, I must admit that Halloween is not my favorite holiday. My husband Rick Karlin is happy to don a costume, drag or otherwise, at a moment's notice. He loves Halloween parades, trick or treating (but not tricking), Halloween parties and popcorn balls.
Milwaukee Brewers left-fielder Ryan Braun serves as the honorary chair of AIDS Walk Wisconsin, which takes place Oct. 6 at the Summerfest Grounds in Milwaukee. We asked the slugger via email about his involvement with the fundraiser, which benefits the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin.
UWM officials have decided to award in-state tuition rates to a gay man who moved to Milwaukee to be with his husband, who's lived in the city for over a year. The couple was legally married in New York.
For more than two decades, Milwaukee's Plymouth Church has been a welcoming and affirming place for LGBT people to worship. The church is affiliated with the United Church of Christ, perhaps the nation's most progressive Protestant denomination.
Haunted houses have always held an appeal for us, but my wife and I never had the opportunity – or the courage – to spend the night in one. Instead, we thought we'd start slowly, perhaps with a haunted room in one of Milwaukee's grand homes.
Citing Wisconsin's ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions, the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee denied in-state tuition to the husband of a local resident who married him in New York.

Probably at one time or another, most of us have experienced this sentiment. However, on today's program we'll see that we never have to wonder if the Lord is with us because He has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. So, join us now and let God's Holy Spirit bring peace and assurance to your life.

I am taking my parents back to Disney World and I would love to give them a character meal.. Which is the cheapest? If that is such a thing. I know to stay away from the Castle etc.
If I had to chose one I would go to chef Mickey. We did take my parents to garden grill when we went with them but we all felt it was more ho hum compared to some of the others. We also really enjoyed Ohana best friends breakfast
I called to inquire about character breakfast costs for our travel period (the last week of August). 'Ohana and the breakfast at the Grand Floridian were the cheapest ($21-something per adult). Chef Mickey was substantially more expensive ($33-something per adult).
Not sure if this is something you would consider, as its not on the Disney Dining Plan, but if you are paying OOP, the character breakfast at the Swan (at the Garden Grove restaurant) is cheaper yet, assuming you have AAA. Our breakfast reservation at the Garden Grove, for three adults, is $61.32 including tax. The concierge who provided the details to me by email have indicated that our Sunday reservation should include visits from Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale. AAA gets you 20% off your meal cost. And the concierge has indicated the server will validate our parking pass so it will be no additional cost (otherwise, it would be an additional $15).
Character breakfasts are your cheapest route: Ohana at Poly has Stitch, Mickey, and Goofy (I think) Crystal Palace at MK has Pooh and friends 1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian has some Pooh and Mary Poppins Tusker House at AK has Donald, Daisy, and ??? Cape May at Beach Club has Minnie and ??? in beachwear These are all within a couple dollars more or less of $25.
our favorite one is 'ohana for breakfast, it's one of the cheapest, you can see Mickey, Pluto, Lilo and Stitch and the food is pretty good PLUS it's served family style wich we favor over buffets with lots of kids around!!!
We did breakfast at TH, CP, and Ohana's... We liked Ohana's because of stitch, but the best service food and character interaction was CP... TH was crazy busy, didn't get good service and just felt rushed
Chef Mickey's is probably the most expensive other than the princess meals and IMHO so NOT worth it! The cheapest character meal is probably at the Garden Grove at the Swan. It is only on the weekends though and there are usually only 2 characters but it's also not usually as busy as the other character meals. Characters also appear nightly at dinner but naturally dinner is more expensive so breakfast would be the better option to save $$. My other choices would be Cape May (usually Minnie, Donald and Goofy) and 1900 Pk Fare (Alice in Wonderland, Mad Hatter, Mary Poppins and Pooh characters, sometimes they vary). I think are the best value for the $$. Good food and good character interaction = good value for the price.
O'Hana at the Poly has Stitch, Lilo, Mickey and Pluto Crystal Palace at MK has Pooh, Pigger, Eeoyre and Piglet (only place to meet Piglet at WDW) 1900 Park Fare at GF has Pooh, Tigger, Alice, Mad Hatter and Mary Poppins Tusker House at AK has Donald, Mickey, Daisy and Goofy Cape May at Beach Club has Minnie, Donald and Goofy

Physical Dimensions
Other than Surface 2's new two-position kickstand and lighter hue, the two tablets are virtual clones. Both measure 10.8 inches by 6.8 inches by 0.35 inches thick with the same controls for power and volume, plus a headphone jack, mic and speakers, and a dedicated "home" button. Weight remains at 1.5 pounds and they're still encased in magnesium. Kudos for Microsoft's magnetic power connector (on the old and the new), which pops off easily under stress rather than damaging components.

The full body strokes, warm comforting hands and soothing music ask you to deeply relax and surrender to a feeling of being nurtured and loved.
Excellent for opening your heart and gently flushing your lymph and blood.
A very nourishing and sensual form of massage.

March 5th - great groomers!
Feb. 9, 2015 -
In light of the unusual weather patterns in the Pacific Northwest this year, we decided to look back at our snowfall statistics to see if we could find some comparable years. And the two closest matches we found were 1976-77 and 2004-05. We do not have daily snowfall recordings for 1976-77 but the snow base at Heather Meadows was recorded. Last season also had a slow start to the snowfall, but take a look at what happened in the spring of those three seasons:
So looking at the statistics, previous comparable seasons have seen fantastic spring snowfalls. And with 76 potential operating days left (as of February 9, 2015) we are optimistic that we can see some great skiing and snowboarding days ahead of us at Mt. Baker this season!

Windows XP SP2 Delayed Until Late 2004
Windows XP SP2 Delayed Until Late 2004
Nate Mook
Posted 2003-08-16
In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft has pushed back the release date for the second Windows XP service pack to the third quarter of 2004. SP2 was long expected to debut before the end of 2003, a year after SP1 made the rounds.
In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft has pushed back the release date for the second Windows XP service pack to the third quarter of 2004. SP2 was long expected to debut before the end of 2003, a year after SP1 made the rounds. The change in plans came to light by way of Microsofts Product Lifecycle Web site, which details future support timelines for the companys products.
"Third quarter next year would put anywhere from 18 to 24 months between the first two service packs," Joe Wilcox, senior analyst for Jupiter Research, told BetaNews. "This is a much longer cycle than between Windows 2000 service pack releases."
The possible implications of the move are far reaching. A yearlong delay gives Microsoft significant time to further its integration strategy with Windows XP building more components directly into the operating system. "Its possible that Microsoft is preparing a more substantive-than-usual service pack that would add new features to Windows XP or hybrids Media Center and Tablet PC," said Wilcox. One such potential feature is Microsofts PC Satisfaction package, currently in beta testing. PC Satisfaction extends the native functionality of Windows XP with services such as an enhanced firewall and virus scanner that give customers a better Windows experience out of the box.
Although Microsoft has not yet announced how it plans to issue PC Satisfaction in its final form, the company hinted that a new firewall would be enabled by default in the next Windows XP update. It is unclear how the delay will affect the next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn. Microsoft executives previously targeted late 2004 for a release to manufacturing and planned to have Longhorn on store shelves by mid-2005. However, an extended Windows XP lifecycle gives Redmond more time to maneuver and opens the door for Longhorn to debut in early 2006. A 2006 release date puts almost five years between Microsofts consumer operating system releases, following the launch of Windows XP in 2001. Microsoft has previously denied considering an interim operating system release in the form of Windows XP Second Edition, but a two-year development timeframe for Service Pack 2 may raise the possibility once again. In the meantime, consumers and businesses will need to be vigilant about keeping Windows XP patched with the latest updates from Microsoft, rather than waiting for the convenience of a service pack, noted Jupiters Wilcox. The issue of patching came to a head this week after many Windows users fell victim to the Blaster Internet worm, despite Microsoft issuing a patch for the security hole in July. Microsoft has since told BetaNews it plans to improve the method in which patches are installed, as well as better educate customers on the steps needed to protect their systems. "A second half 2004 release does not have to mean a crisis for consumers," said Wilcox. "When used properly, Windows XPs Automatic Update keeps the OS up to date." Microsoft was unavailable for comment by press time.
