Music directors are responsible for organizing and overseeing music programs within an organization. Their job requirements may greatly vary depending on the employer. They may be required to conduct a choir or orchestra, select appropriate music to be played, plan and prepare sheet music, ensure copyright laws are followed, hold auditions for ensemble members, and/or promote and organize tours. Music directors' work is indoors and rarely physical, with the exception of conducting.Read More...
Music directors usually work with musicians and others within their organization; depending on the employer, they may also meet with representatives from music and record companies. They can be employed by a variety of organizations, such as churches, schools, universities, the military, radio stations, and films, among others. Their hours may be part time or full time depending on the employer; a music director at a church, for example, may work for 10 to 15 hours per week, whereas a music director at a radio station may work 40 or more hours per week.
Larger organizations may expect their music directors to have at least a bachelor's degree in a music-related field and experience in directing. Smaller organizations may be satisfied with a director who has directing experience and demonstrated knowledge in musical theory and performance. As they are often self-directed, music directors need to be able to work independently. Other skills required include proficiency with an instrument or instruments, knowledge of a wide range of music, and the ability to write and arrange music.

Though some Music Directors move into positions like Radio Broadcasting Program Director (where the average salary is around the $43K mark), this progression is not the norm. Music Directors most often move into Music Ministry Director or Director of Music Ministry roles. However, the former pays $2K less on average, and the latter pays $3K less.
Survey takers who work as Music Directors report a focused set of job skills. Most notably, facility with Administration, musician, and People Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 40 percent, 30 percent, and 25 percent, respectively. Worship Planning and Leading and MUSIC, on the other hand, are typically associated with much lower pay.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $32K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $40K. Music Directors with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $39K. For some reason, Music Directors with more than two decades of experience report lower paychecks overall; the median sum in this group sits near $32K.

2015 Seabreeze Jazz Festival
Panama City, FL ... Main performances will take place at the Aaron Beasant Park Amphitheater adjacent to Pier Park, with nightly After-Party All-Star Jam Shows at two venues at adjacent Pier Park.
Multi-Grammy winners George Benson, David Sanborn, and Al Jarreau headline the "Ultimate Weekend of Smooth Jazz" amidst Northwest Florida's stunning beaches and natural setting. The 17th Annual Seabreeze Jazz Festival® returns to Panama City Beach with over 20 stellar performances of top national contemporary jazz talent April 22-26th. The event has become an annual celebration for jazz-minded adults where the allure of great beaches, exciting shopping, world-class restaurants along with a plethora of activities like golf and fishing, all combine for a true vacation getaway.
Panama City Beach provides the perfect backdrop for the "ultimate" jazz beach weekend with the festival attracting attendees from 42 U.S. states and over seven countries, plus also being named "Top 10 Jazz Festival in the USA" by JazzIZ Magazine. Smooth jazz blowing gently in the coastal breezes is just one unique feature at one of the nation's fastest growing "destination music festivals" on the Gulf Coast.
Artists to perform include multi-Grammy winners George Benson, David Sanborn, and Al Jarreau – along with chart-topping smooth jazz musicians Brian Culbertson, The Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman, Euge Groove, BwB featuring Norman Brown, Kirk Whalum, and Rick Braun, Down To The Bone, The Sax Pack featuring Jeff Kashiwa, Steve Cole, and Kim Waters, Mindi Abair and the Boneshakers, Ken Ford, Acoustic Alchemy, Jazz Funk Soul featuring Chuck Loeb, Jeff Lorber, and Everette Harp, Chris Standring, Eric Darius, Four 80 East, Matt Marshak, Marcus Anderson, Josh Vietti, The Urban Jazz Coalition featuring Althea Rene, Rob Tardik, and Seabreeze Rising Star performer Ryan Montano.
Main performances will take place at the Aaron Beasant Park Amphitheater adjacent to Pier Park, with nightly After-Party All-Star Jam Shows at two venues at adjacent Pier Park. To further showcase the beauty of Panama City Beach, a Dinner and Lunch Smooth Jazz Cruise aboard "The Solaris" dinner yacht is set departing the Lighthouse Marina cruising picturesque St. Andrews Bay—each with a live jazz performance on board.
Smooth Jazz fans have a unique and intimate connection to the festival's music and core artists base. The "smooth jazz lifestyle" is the secret to the success of The Seabreeze Jazz Festival® – where the R & B based smooth contemporary jazz literally creates a synergy for the whole weekend. The licks of the funky bass lines and pop-friendly musical hooks keep the crowds moving to the beat….almost like the tempo of the swaying palm trees around beautiful Aaron Beasant Park Amphitheater at Pier Park, on the west end of Panama City Beach.
Smooth jazz is the epitome of "The Good Life" – laid back yet upscale at the same time, relaxing and familiar as a pair of your most comfortable beach sandals. It's this uniqueness that appeals to a truly upscale college-educated professional adult demographic, primarily a 35-55 year old audience with high amounts of discretionary income. Many economist call this very desirable demographic group "Alpha Baby Boomers" –attributing to the $14.2 million impact the Seabreeze Jazz Festival® besieges on the Northwest Florida economy.
The event hosts close to 28,000 for the weekend, with a large percentage of fans traveling hundreds if not thousands of miles away to attend. 60% of the festival's tickets are sold outside the State of Florida, making it a true destination festival. The alluring appeal of Pier Park and the new resort-style architecture along with west end of Panama City Beach beckons even the most cosmopolitan city-dweller to join in on the fun, and get their toes in the sands.
"We are thrilled to partner, once again, with festival founders, Mark and Renee' Carter and to sponsor this exciting event," said Lino Maldonado, vice president of operations, Wyndham Vacation Rentals, Gulf Region—Presenting Sponsor of the event. "The Seabreeze Jazz Festival® continues to attract an international audience attended by guests from 42 states and 7 countries to Northwest Florida's white sand beaches for the ultimate weekend of music. Our multi-year sponsorship agreement for the Seabreeze Jazz Festival® demonstrates our commitment to strengthening tourism in Panama City Beach and across Northwest Florida's Gulf Coast."
The successful melding appeal of Pier Park with the Seabreeze Jazz Festival® on site is all about complimenting distractions. Pier Park (a Simon Mall property) sports over 160 retail stores, a 16-screen stadium-seating cinema, numerous eateries, nightclubs, even a small amusement park to pacify all of the family's pastimes, while the parents enjoy the live smooth jazz entertainment from the nation's top jazz artists. The newly completed City Pier across the street from the festival stage and miles of white-sand beaches and emerald-green waters also provides a nearby escape from the live entertainment. That is if you muster up enough to pull away from the star-studded contemporary jazz lineup.
The Seabreeze Jazz Festival® will make history in 2015 as the first event on the Gulf Coast to implement a new innovative RFID armband system from Intellitix for both entry and all festival purchases, essentially making the entire event both "ticketless" and "cashless". In 2014, over 40 events in 10 countries have used this exciting new system developed by Intellitix, named by Fast Company Magazine as one of the "Top 10 Most Innovative Companies" for live events in 2014.
For the Seabreeze Jazz Festival, even these cool innovative armbands will take on a jazz theme as festival organizers will be calling them "JazzBands". The imbedded RFID chip inside the armband will not only be the patron's ticket for entry into the event through an electronic portal, but also their wallet for all purchases inside the venue. Attendees can either "load" funds via their credit card in advance of the event online, or on site with credit or cash at several jazz festival "Top Up" stations throughout the event. All it takes is a quick swipe for any purchase in front of a tablet-size screen, and fans are back to the music and smooth jazz fun, with easy access to their "JazzBand" account via their smartphone. No need to worry about losing cash or credit cards with Intellitix's exciting new system for fast entry and quick purchasing, dramatically reducing time spent at entry gates and in queue lines for merchandise, food, and beverages. Any unspent funds on the wristbands are refunded back to the user's credit card immediately following the event, and the "JazzBand" simply becomes an event souvenir.
Tickets are available for single and multi-day admission. Thursday only tickets are $90 each, Friday only tickets are $100 each, Saturday only tickets are $120 each, and Sunday only tickets are $100 each. Patrons save money on multi-day tickets with a Weekend Pass good for Friday-Sunday priced at $200, and the all-inclusive Four Day Pass $250 each for all performances Thursday through Sunday at the main stage.
In addition, a new reserved section called Gold Reserve is available for 2015. Gold Reserved seating includes on-site parking, early entry, fixed reserved seating behind the VIP section, dedicated air-conditioned restrooms, and four beverages per day. The Four Day Gold Reserve ticket is $450 each and limited. VIP Tickets and VIP Tables sold out for the event last summer.
In addition, tickets for nightly All-Star After Party Jam Shows, a dinner and lunch cruise, as well as a special Sax Pack CD Release Party are available online and limited.
To celebrate the conclusion of the jazz festival and to cap off the weekend of stellar entertainment, a free All-Star After-Party Jam Show will be held on Sunday, April 26th beginning at 10:30pm at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville at Pier Park hosted by Four 80 East, Matt Marshak, Marcus Anderson and special guests.

"Lonely Instruments for Needy Kids" is a local non-profit organization that takes previously used band instruments, provides the needed repairs, and then put them into the hands of needy kids whose families usually wouldn't be able to participate in local elementary, middle, or high school band. Last year, over 100 instruments were donated in return for jazz festival tickets and put into the hands of deserving music students in Northwest Florida. Playground Music Center in Ft. Walton Beach is collecting all the band instruments for the program. For more information, contact Tony Leonard at (850)-243-2514.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
"I was thinking about all those bands that put out a record and say in the press how they're taking their music to a whole new place, when it sounds just like the old stuff recycled," he says. "Another thing is that generally a week or two after I finish a record, I start listening to it again. This time I wasn't playing it at all."
Apparently some of the band members weren't impressed with Spider's hindsight. A few months after Spider pulled the plug on the record, titled Anyone for Doomsday?, drummer Al Pahanish called, and in a very short conversation, informed the singer he was quitting. Spider then called bassist Dorian Heartsong, and it was déjà vu all over again.
"I mean, we had a long relationship in this band, since 1990. So I was struck with how sometimes you really just don't know people you've been around," says Spider. "I was always a pretty loyal person, even when a few years earlier I had some pressure put on me to clean house a little bit. But I could see the dividing line between us. I grew up listening to punk, and they were Berklee music grads."
Guitarists Adam 12 and M33 were behind Spider's decision, so Powerman 5000 still had some juice left. "I think they welcomed my idea that we should be free to explore something new. It was kind of a mix of panic and relief for me, but I needed time to figure everything out."
Enter drummer Adrian Ost and bassist Siggy Siursen, the new rhythm section hired to bring Spider's latest vision to life. Nearly two years since the old record was tanked, Spider's reformed band is about to provide the answer to the question that fans and industry thinkers alike have pondered since his controversial decision in 2001: Were you sniffing glue or what? The aptly titled Transform drops on May 20.
From the opening line of the first cut, "Theme to a Fake Revolution," it's evident that Powerman 5000's transformation also heralds a return to rock music in its purest, most bollocks-busting form.
"I'm not a spaceman, but on the other hand I never really did fit in this world," Spider sings, referring to the campy, sci-fi spacesuits and abstract lyrics from the group's Stars Revolt days. The song is set to a punk rock backdrop that owes a hell of a lot more to, say, Bad Religion, than the pop faux-punk of Good Charlotte. The result is one of the freshest-sounding records in recent memory. It's not just the taut arrangements and crisp production -- Spider's message speaks volumes.
In "Free," Spider includes an ode to his musical idol Joe Strummer. He urges listeners to put down their Xbox controllers and break free of safe, conservative thinking, a theme he explores further in songs such as "Action" and "A Is for Apathy."
"I really hope that maybe I can get some kids to change their definition of what heavy is," says Spider, whose real name is Mike Cummings. "I grew up listening to the Clash, and then got into stuff like Public Enemy. But I also think Bob Dylan writes heavy music, which today is passed off as the stuff that these whiny kids do, banging their pots and pans together."
One song, "That's Entertainment," takes aim at the way the record industry is churning out boy bands, sultry young vixens and pop-metal cuties on a conveyor belt. "Let's see who's the biggest whore," Spider spits. The song also includes a nod to the band's more keyboard-laden past, a sound the group shared with the likes of the Hunger and, of course, Spider's brother Rob, as in Rob Zombie, who has given his blessing to the new sound.
"My brother would always say he didn't like much of what we'd recorded," says Spider. "But this time, he was like, 'This is a million times better than everything you've done.' "
It was Rob who gave Mike the "Spider" handle back in the days when White Zombie was the baddest of the bad new rock bands out there, and when Mike was veering off the punk trail into a quasi-rap, Nine Inch Nails sort of thing. On the credits of the White Zombie album, Rob referred to his bro as "MC Spider," and the name stuck until Mike added his own twist when PM5K was formed.
For Spider, being firmly entrenched in L.A. and having a shit-kicking new record ready to go is a long way from his first high school band, Eruption, which was booed off the stage at the talent show in his hometown of Boston.
"But I really didn't care, because I was having fun," says Spider. "And this record reminds me of why musicians who are lucky enough to gain some kind of profile in this industry should never lose sight of why they are doing this in the first place. Well, I guess I can't speak for their motives, but I know mine. The cool thing about getting older is you lose that desire to follow the leader."

Review | Dates to Watch For | Follow-Up | U.S. Economic Calendar | Consensus Estimates | Coming Earnings | Coming U.S. Auctions
As college students line up for the sheepskins this month, the human-resources majors may look a little cheerier than the literature or history types. A new report from researcher IBISWorld found that business majors face better job prospects in the next five years than students majoring in social science, history, education, or even health science.
More than one-fifth of U.S. undergraduates are business majors, making it the nation's most popular major. According to the report, the total number of available jobs in business-related fields such as commercial banking, human resources, and benefits administration is forecast to grow at a 2% annualized rate in the five years to 2017, outpacing the 1.6% average annual growth seen in jobs across 875 IBISWorld categories in the span. Wages in business-related fields are seen rising at an annualized 2%—outpacing the 1.5% average forecast for all industries.
Good Job! Students who major in business—the most popular undergraduate path—can look forward to good job prospects. William Waitzman for Barron's
Indeed, the average yearly wage for business majors is projected to rise to about $77,000 in 2017, from $70,000 in 2012. By contrast, jobs for students majoring in education are forecast to grow at a 1.4% average rate per year in the next five years, and the average wage is expected to rise by just 0.3%.

Berlin - The German weekly magazine Der Spiegel reports in Monday's edition that the 2006 World Cup knock-out stage match between Brazil and Ghana was influenced by an Asian betting syndicate.
The magazine reports large sums of money had been bet on Brazil winning by at least two goals and a former Ghana international acted as an intermediary.
Ghana lost the last 16 round match 3-0 in Dortmund on June 27, 2006 which put Brazil into the quarter-finals where they lost to France.
The information in Der Spiegel comes from Canadian investigative journalist Declan Hill, whose book about betting on sport around the world is published in German next week.
Hill also claims two Bundesliga matches of the 2004-05 season were also the subject of a betting scam oragnised by Malaysian William Bee Wah Lim who was sentenced to two years and five months by a Frankfurt court.
German football endured the most serious crisis in its history in 2004 when referee Robert Hoyzer admitted having received 70 000 euros to influence the results of 23 matches, mainly second and third division games, between April 10 and December 3, 2004.

microwave recommendation
I need some recommendations for an OTR microwave oven. I have a 12 year old Whirlpool which has been good but the door latch is beginning to fail. I was going to get another Whirlpool but the reviews I have found have been terrible. I am fully aware that OTR microwaves are not the best situation but I do not have room for anything else in my small kitchen.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
How much do you want to spend? If space is tight and you must use an OTR, I'd be tempted to get one with speed-cooking functionality like the GE Advantium (link below). It has warming and convection so you'd actually be getting a second oven as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: GE Advantium OTR Microwave
Thanks chris, I do have a full sized oven (30 inch) so I haven't given the Advantium any consideration. Does the speed cook feature make the microwave more complicated to use? I would welcome any opinions from people who have used one. My budget is fairly flexible. I just want a good one.
I do need the down lighting to be bright since I don't have a ceiling light directly over the stove.
I will definitely check out Advantium.
We have the countertop LG Model: LCRT2010ST & love it. My brother bought the over the range version LG Model: LMH2016ST & is very pleased with it. Heats quickly and evenly, easy to clean, & roomy--I can put a large rectangle casserole dish in there and it still has plenty of room to spin on the turntable. They are pretty reasonably priced at Best Buy (that's where we both got ours). I will note that you should inspect the unit for any physical damage before taking it to the register to purchase--the first one I brought home had a small dent/ding in the side. When I took it back to exchange, I made sure I inspected the next one before leaving the store. Hope this helps & happy microwave hunting!
I would be skeptical of putting anything expensive like an Advantium over the range. If you were to choose the location most likely to kill an appliance prematurely, it would be over the range. Even with the feeble ventilation function working, the electronics are exposed to constant high temperatures. Were it me, I'd stick with an inexpensive unit that won't be too painful to replace.
clinresga, that is very true. I had not thought about that.
mydream, I have noticed that LG microwaves do generally get the best reviews. I will look more into that brand. It seems, however, that LG in general does not get favorable comments on GW.
Thank you for your input!
We have a 10 year old GE Profile with matching wall oven. I have posted before that ours is trouble free and heats faster than any other we have used. My daughter has one too and we noticed hers was fast before we moved into the house that had the same one.

Sure, it behooved our Neolithic ancestors to band together and form proto-civilizations for many reasons, but one main motivation, according to archaeologist Patrick McGovern—who works, and we kid you not, at the University of Pennsylvania Museum's Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory for Cuisine, Fermented Beverages, and Health—was the time-honored pursuit of alcoholic intoxication.

2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse Problems
The sunroof may become stuck in the closed position or require "help" moving forward and backward. The common repair is to replace the guides but often the problem will resurface again.
The brake pedal may pulsate when the brakes are applied. This is most commonly caused by the front brake rotors warping. Resurfacing the affected rotors may correct the problem for the short term but replacement would generally considered a longer term solution.
The manual transmission may become difficult to shift due to problems with the synchronizers. This most commonly affects second gear. Replacement of the affected synchronizers may be required to correct this concern.

2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse Recalls
2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse Reviews
Sporty, and smooth shifting, Don't like having no real rear seats nor the poor turning radius. Miledge is 20 miles per gallon around town and 24 Hwy. is fair considering the power 200 Hp. The car has that pushing you back deep into the seats when you punch the pedal!
bought this car with 120,XXX it was fun driving.. so smooth and fast as 4cylinder types.

This year, Urban Outfitters sold a "vintage" Kent State sweatshirt tastefully splattered with red paint while Donald Sterling's racial comments cost him his NBA franchise. It's been a raucous year in the public arena, expressed perfectly by a parade of PR blunders that is as impressive in scope as it is in sheer absurdity.
It happened again. While everyone was out enjoying their Fourth of July holiday, an intern for American Apparel used a photo of the Challenger space shuttle explosion on its Tumblr page, "mistaking the image for a fireworks display."
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about my pubic hair. See, after a winter of letting things grow wild, it's time to think about the upcoming months. And this year, I'm especially conflicted.
Here are my top five recommendations of ways to be supportive of athletes and Russians who are gay and dealing with this law and its challenges at the Sochi Games:
Why do the entertainment and advertising industries need us to look like hasids or caricatures of Jewishness? Why is the image of a female rabbi, or a clean-shaven, young, attractive male rabbi with all his hair so rare? Why do they insist on "other-ing" us?
Is Santa gay?! Could it be? Hallmark seems to think there's something really wrong with being gay... so they changed an entire Christmas carol to make their point!
It's that time of year, when parents rejoice, children lament, and we all spend money to get our youngsters Back to School! Reports are that skinny je...
Recently, Dov Charney's American Apparel introduced a "kewl" new addition: A nail polish collection free of formaldehyde -- but clearly not free of the company's signature chutzpah: The color? Black. The name? "Hassid."
Every time I open Facebook or scroll through Instagram, the type of photo that some people willingly post on the Internet shocks me, especially those of pre-teen and teenage girls in extremely seductive poses. I'm sure you've seen them.
Things are looking up for residents of the nine states under threat from Sandy, as according to an email blast on the eve of the storm last week, they could receive 20 percent off at American Apparel -- just by entering the special code SANDYSALE upon checkout.

New twist on 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' gives a voice to the villain.
" Henry Jekyll is dead." The novel opens, and craggy, excited and mystified, Edward Hyde surges to life in Daniel Levine's bloody remix of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, which allows the good doctor's dark alter ego a chance to tell his side of the story.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde begins with witnesses' accounts of the battle between good and evil raging inside Henry Jekyll's head and introduces a tortured confession by the doctor himself. Given 19th-century sensibilities, Stevenson's horrors are suggested rather than laid out in grisly detail. Levine's lively spinoff brings Hyde front and center, with plenty of 20th-century psychiatric insights and 21st-century lashings of kinky sex and rivers of blood.
Meanwhile there's the cyanide. "Jekyll cooked up the dram of clear, colourless extract a month ago," Hyde says. "As if he could see the ending too. As if the cyanide were to be his parting gift to me. That is what I'm saying. Inevitability. You cannot evade what is going to happen because, in a sense, it already has happened..."
Hyde reports that Jekyll left his confession in a sealed envelope addressed to his lawyer, to be opened on his death. It sits on his table, taunting us: Open it. Go ahead, open it! But we can't, unless we skip to the end.
Hyde won't open it. Holed up in the "cabinet" where Jekyll's experiments began, he spends his final days nursing a festering arm as he broods over the events that brought him here. "Up here in the cabinet after dark, Jekyll would prepare the twin syringes, strip off his clothes, and slide the needle into his arm; the floor would flip in a sickening spin and I'd stagger out into the body."
At first Hyde's adventures unfold at night. Every morning, a second injection brings Jekyll back — until the experiment goes off the rails. By the time their story ends, Hyde fades in and out of the body when they least expect it.
Jekyll starts him out with a checkbook and five thousand pounds in the bank. Hyde rents a house in Soho, hires a creepy housekeeper, orders a new wardrobe to replace Jekyll's baggy castoffs, and the adventures begin. Some are drawn directly from Stevenson's prototype, and some are imagined by Levine: Jekyll's lost love, an abusive father with a Stradivarius and a back story that apparently caused the doctor's profound psychological kinks. There's also a disturbed patient Jekyll treated in a case that drove the patient to suicide, preparing the way for the best invention in the book.
Instead of Stevenson's classic battle between ego and id, Levine turns the Jekyll-Hyde split personality into a case of Multiple Personality Disorder. (See Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber, a 1970s account of ...) No, this is not a spoiler. Watching the details play out is great fun.
As in the original novel, Hyde rescues a little girl from a bully and is accused of trying to kidnap her, or worse. Then he rescues Jeannie, a 16-year-old prostitute and her little sister from their abusive father — or does he? The girls move into his house in Soho and are happy — or are they? There's something going on that Hyde doesn't know about. Bent on destroying evidence of a murder he knows he committed, he returns to his house with the hounds of London on his heels. Astonished, he finds a cache of hair from several different heads, trinkets and underwear, suggesting that he's more of a monster than he thought. This is the clever trick Levine plays, leaving us to wonder who's in charge, the undisciplined monster or the sophisticated, ambitious and severely troubled doctor. Or is there another force at work?
Perhaps the best section of the novel comes near the end of Hyde's days as a free man, when he roves the seedier parts of Soho, fetches up on the river bank and discovers the ravages of opium. "An androgynous scrap of muddy child straightened with something that it put in its mouth, sucked on, and then removed ... Later on, in a clapboard shanty groaning over the water, pitch-black but for knotholes gleaming here and there, I felt my way into a low-cushioned berth, and a frail Chinese boy lit the long slender pipe extending from my lips ..."
Levine's account is a masterpiece of hallucination; his narrator is feverish, righteous, intense. The author knows what to invent and what to leave to the master. And about that confession: Hyde doesn't open it, and neither does Levine. He leaves it to Stevenson, to whom he is faithful with his prose. The shockers may be born of this century, but this chilling new version is a remarkably good fit with the original horror classic.

WAIDE, Susan Elizabeth
Susan Elizabeth Waide, 54, died on November 21st, 2013, in Austin, Texas after a long illness. She was the beloved daughter of Jack B. and Adele Ashley Waide of Austin, Texas; the granddaughter of Senator Carlos Ashley and Cynthia Adele Johnson Ashley of Llano, Texas; and John W. and Mary Ollie Bishop Waide of Paint Rock, Texas.
Susan was born on July 2nd, 1959, at Shannon Hospital in San Angelo, Texas. A fine amateur musician, she had many years of training in piano and sang in choir all through school. She graduated from San Angelo Central High School and attended Angelo State University and
University of Texas
at Austin. She worked as a proofreader for the Texas State Senate, G&S Publishing, the Texas Legislative Council and freelanced for various publishers. Susan then changed her focus to pursue a career in massage therapy---work that she loved. She graduated from both the Austin School of Massage Therapy and Lauterstein-Conway Massage School and was licensed by the State of Texas. In addition to her private massage therapy practice, she performed volunteer work as a massage therapist for the Center for Battered Women (now renamed "SafePlace") and other organizations and was honored as volunteer of the year by the Center for Battered Women.
Susan chose to spend her entire adult life in Austin---appreciating the culture and physical beauty of the city. She enjoyed going to hear live music (especially during the punk music scene of the 1980s), swimming at Barton Springs, and walking on the hike & bike trail. To the very end, she loved listening to KUT-FM, particularly John Aielli's program, "Eklektikos" and Paul Ray's "Twine Time." One of her final acts was to make a donation to KUT.
She read voraciously and with great pleasure throughout her life. Among her favorite authors were Grace Paley and Alexander Cockburn.
Susan always felt a deep love for animals. Her cherished pets included her cat, Rita, and her pomeranians, Molly and Minnie; she is survived by her beloved chihuahua, Sweet Pea.
She is also survived by her parents, her brother, Dr. John Ashley Waide (of Nashville, Tennessee); her sister, Cynthia Ann Waide (of Austin); her niece, Katherine Elizabeth Waide (of Nashville, Tennessee); her uncle Carlos Ashley (of Fredericksburg, Texas), cousins Blake Ashley and his wife Wendy and their children (of Fredericksburg) and Caroline Ashley Cuthbertson (of Farmers Branch, Texas) and her children; and many other cousins and friends.
On her behalf, her family would like to thank some of the people and organizations that were so helpful to her during her illness: Sheera Rexroad, CMT, the concierge service at Whole Foods. the Austin Diner, Odyssey Hospice, and Cedar View Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center.
It was Susan's wish that there be no funeral service but there will be a private ceremony of remembrance and scattering of her ashes. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to KUT or the Mary Lee Foundation.

Right in the heart of the rolling Brittany countryside and surrounded by forests, Les Vallées Gite is a 100 year old traditional Breton longere (long-house) stone and slate farmhouse that has been tastefully renovated into a comfortable and relaxing family Gite that will be exclusively yours for your holiday break.
The Gite is in a small hamlet of 5 houses situated right in the centre of Brittany on the border of departments 22 (Cotes d'Armor) and 56 (Morbihan).
We're perfectly situated, only 40 minutes from both the North and South Brittany coasts, as well as having being close to many local attractions within this beautiful part of North-West France.
The Gite has retained many of its original farmhouse features such as massive oak beams, carved fireplaces and traditional tiled floors whilst we've added modern comforts such as central heating, satellite TV, double glazing, a dishwasher and power shower.
Downstairs the main L-shaped building consists of a large Lounge with working fireplace, a fully-fitted Kitchen and a toilet/shower room; whilst upstairs are two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, a separate toilet and the bathroom.
Outside, the Gite is situated in a roughly half acre enclosed Garden, surrounded by fields and woods. Between the two 'wings' of the Gite is a floodlit gravelled courtyard and a large open barn on the opposite side.
Beyond the Gite and barn are two large grassed gardens with apple and pear trees, a massive oak tree, flower and shrub beds.
Getting to the Gite is easy with ferries from Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth to St Malo (1 ½ hours drive), Roscoff (2 hours), Caen (3 hours), Cherbourg (4 hours) and Le Havre (4 hours).
If you prefer the quicker Dover/Calais crossing or Eurotunnel, it's only 6 hours drive (and can cost a fantastic £19 each way with Norfolk Line); or you can fly from 99p with Ryanair, FlyBe or AerArran to local Brittany airports from a number of regional airports across the UK and Ireland including London Luton, Stansted, Nottingham, Birmingham, Exeter, Southampton, Cardiff, Cork, Waterford and Dublin.
For further travel details and maps, please contact us via VillaRenters.
Originally a traditional stone and slate farmhouse, our Gite is now a relaxing family holiday home in a tranquil location that can sleep up to 6

Best priced schip laurel
I am looking to create a natural barrier between my house and the one in back of me. I am looking for about 20 schip laurels to put in a shaded area. Does anyone know of a place with good prices in central NJ or online places that deliver?
Oh brother and readers, please forgive me, including you NYC. I'm native NJ and the more time I spend here, the more I see these horticultural abortions. Why? Why do another myopic landscaping project that entails a singular mass planting (all in a row no less - and which is all too common - it's pedestrian, and it's UGLY)?. Is it because it's easy? The Martz's down the street did it? Or do you have no interest nor want to know of the alternatives? I've long since come to the realization that most Americans are clueless when it comes to gardening, the environment, or really understanding nature..
Emerald green arbovitaes, leyland cypress, sheep laurels - all cheap fast growers that are brought to the market (for that quick fix and wierd American gestalt as to outdoor living) - let's build a wall, a linear wall that is so unnatural, so fabricated that it might as well be fake laurels, or fake arboritaes -- they do nothing for the environment, but we don't need to see the Sullivan family. We have our Ipods, and let's continue to insulate ourselves from everyone - including our neighbors.
I can piss off of my front porch in broad daylight (and have done so when nature has called and I've been working outdoors and don't want to come indoors dirty from gardening) with this 'natural fence' - the area to the left (in this pic) bordering the street - we have no sidewalks and it varies in depth from 12-20'. I also live in populous Monmouth County and not some Salem County backwater town with a population of 1,200. The solitude, the privacy, yet access should a neighbor or a walker want to say something should I be relaxing on my front porch reading or relaxing is still there.
Think about what you do on your property - and look at it from more than the perspective of your own myopic footprint. A linear mass planting which we've seen time and time again ad nauseum is bloody awful. Please answer this question -elf - is that attractive? I guess I must be one of those weired ones who find it much more rewarding to look at a variety of textures in the garden, colors, leaf shape, flowering, different dynamics as to size and shape of plants, the birds that use the habitat and the enjoyment that such an environment brings to the soul - well when I see a cookie cutter, let's get it done in one day approach, well, plain and simply, we're doomed.
It needed to be said, Birdsong; thank you. Certainly a mixed hedge vs. the monoculture of a solid wall of anything is not only more attractive, but is more resistant to decimation by disease or insects, will support a greater diversity of wildlife (which we can enjoy), and can provide an ever-changing tapestry of interest throughout the seasons.
Your yard looks delightful.
A fellow Monmouth County resident here.
Thanks as I don't mean to be harsh, and one's pocketbook also comes into play here. Plus the fact that it's May and as a 'birder', I can't even take time off from my wretched job to do one of my passions (and spring migration isn't a forever thing - it's but a 5 week window)
As it's not the poster's front yard (it's the back), this can be done in stages if money's tight, but those cultivars aren't cheap when one want's that 'instant' effect. Natives such as viburnums, aronia, ilex glabra, clethras, cost about the same price - and offer the homeowner fragrance, flowers, great fall color, and a spread that is equal to that of laurels or leylands (which grow taller than broader).
Sure hope that the OP pauses and reassess their options. Just wish that most folks who have their own homes spent as much time knowing, understanding and learning all that is out there - to create a beautiful environment as they do the inside of their home.
Birdsong67 your backyard looks beautiful. I will chime in and say that I just planted a first layer of privacy on both sides of my property and am doing it in stages due to expense. I chose zone 6 hardy camellias and while they take a long time to grow, will give blooms and variety of color, plus Camellias are evergreen and actually do well in part shade and give bloom as early as February depending on what type you get. I got a wholesale price on mine doing a large order together with other neighbors. I will then layer in Limelight Hydrangeas (after I go through this season to verify that deer aren't eating them here). I agree doing a hedge with just one type of plant is boring, though it's not a bad idea to have some symmetry or start with an evergreen foundation. Skip laurels are OK, but you can also use Manhattan Euyonymous which is a pretty fast grower, tons of different Rhododendrons (if you have shade), and summer bloomers like roses or hydrangeas. I'm a huge hydrangea fan and so far, the deer haven't touched mine here. Fingers crossed.

Thank's Basking Ridge. The pic is actually a pic of my front yard (side view). If you look again, there's a row of my neighbors row of emerald green arbovitae in the background that have taken off (after my 80' red oak went down 5 years ago). My backyard is fairly similar. There's a bit more lawn in the back for parties, etc but the corners are deeply wooded with the edges (property back line and edge along my deck also being naturalized and while a bit more narrow, is far from being 'linear').
The OP is from CNJ and that could be anywhere from Somerset County (and their red clay) to Middlesex/Monmouth County with sandy loam so plant choice is critical in ensuring success. One does not need a landscaper (99% of them employ the same plant usage if they're doing a property in Basking Ridge or in Metuchen). Becoming a student of horticulture is 'key'. If your home is in a shady neighborhood with tall oaks, I'd suggest Dirr's book on Shade Plants. If it's in full sun (formerly farmland), you have an amazingly amount of latitude in terms of plant variety - and yet you can still create a planting that will provide a needed 'buffer' to a neighbors property yet provide you with far more satisfaction than a living fence.
The plant stock inventory available to us in NJ is pretty decent. Start by putting in some shade trees and flowering ornamental trees. That will anchor the 'scheme'. Then the rest of the canvas is your.
In my mind, a project like this can be done in stages. Once one completes a planting that has a combination of herbaceous plants, small flowering trees, natives and ornamentals, will one see the landscape come alive - in color, dynamic of composition, springscape all the way to winterscape and the attendant wildlife that will use your property.
Don't sell yourself short as to thinking you don't have the creativity nor imagination to do something wonderful.
