Inclusive Green Growth and Sustainable Development through Productive Consumption
This paper analyses development mechanism through which natural resource capital regenerates and contributes to economic growth. Climate change challenges economic development in the 21st century but it also provides opportunity to grow with developing green. New development strategy is the inclusive green growth that leads towards sustainable development. Regeneration of natural resource is a crucial productive capital in the economy. This paper suggests a theoretical model and explains sustainable development mechanism through productive consumption. Empirical observations also support this model. This paper suggests policy inputs regarding regeneration of natural resource capital and its preservation in term of water shed development, flood control or development of ecosystem services through creation of jobs in the channel of productive consumption. Policy makers should focus on employability, regeneration and preservation of natural resource capital for sustaining livelihoods in the economy.

Happy Birthday Chopin
Just a few years ago, during my three-month trip to Europe, I got to experience a few different Chopin landmarks. I saw his grave at Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, then re-visited the famous statue of him at Łazienki Park in Warsaw, then visited a brand new interactive museum dedicated to him (also in Warsaw). Some … Continue reading

I came across this article about seven cultural concepts we don't have in the U.S. and I'm obsessed with this Danish concept of hygge. The source of this article is a site called Mother Nature Network, but I cross-referenced the term – it's legit. The term is meant to convey coziness. Candlelight. Companionship. Warmth. Not surprisingly, … Continue reading
A visit to the Roger Brown Study Collection
Our Evening Associates board of directors had a chance to visit the Roger Brown Study Collection, and it really inspired me to pursue my own collection.

Banks at Metro
I first heard of Banks earlier this year and I instantly got hooked on her sound. It's exactly the kind of ethereal r&b I love.

OSHAWA -- Twelve-year-old Caralynn Chan's fairly modest harp cost thousands and if she's to move up to a much better one, mom Alma Chan says the price would be in the range of a small car, joking that it would be "her Christmas present for the rest of her life."
Perhaps it would be a wise investment in the young musician's future.
The Oshawa girl recently received a gold medal from The Royal Conservatory of Music for obtaining the highest mark in Ontario and Quebec on the Grade 4 harp exam, a sparkling 90 per cent. Caralynn heard 'gold medal' and immediately thought of the medals winning Olympic athletes receive, which they can put around their necks. Hers came in a box, but it certainly doesn't detract from her achievement.
"Really?" Caralynn says of her reaction to the news. "I didn't believe it."
She simply says that, "I just made sure I knew everything I was working on for the exam before doing it."
While the exam "feels like forever" it probably takes 30 minutes.
The College Park Elementary School student usually practises for an hour a day, but gets in at least 30 minutes.
Her parents are musicians and when Alma asked Caralynn if she wanted to learn a new instrument, the youngster was willing and mom suggested the harp. At first Caralynn thought to herself, 'nobody really plays the harp'. But she took to it well, no doubt because she already played the piano.
"When I began it was easy but as I continued playing it, it became harder, because when you play an instrument more the music gets more difficult," Caralynn says.
The main problem was finding a Royal Conservatory harp teacher in the general area.
Enter Andrew Chan, no relation, who Caralynn describes as an excellent teacher with a great sense of humour.
"Whenever I have to get more expression in my songs he says, 'bring out Mr. M (Musicality)," she says.
After a few months of lessons with Caralynn, Andrew Chan told her parents, "I think Caralynn has something."
Caralynn says she prefers to play slow music "because fast is kind of hard for me to look at a page and move my fingers quickly." She likes folk and classical music and, an old soul, says she's not really into the music of the day.
She's performed at her church, College Park Adventist, and at nursing homes. As for other interests, she's in a few choirs and likes reading, writing and drawing.
It's a little early for her to commit to a musical career.
"I just like to play harp for people and use my talent," Caralynn says.

The Art of Record Production 2014
Me and colleague Trond Engum gave a presentation at The Art of Record Production 2014 conference in Oslo, December 6th entitled Unheard Sounds: The aesthetics of inaudible sounds made audible.
Abstract: In the recording industry, the quest for the ultimate high fidelity sound reproduction
has spurred the use of digital formats with ultra-high definition, in particular with bit
resolution and sampling frequencies well above the CD-standards of 16-bit/44.1kHz.
While the benefits of ultra-high sampling frequencies are debated, we will
demonstrate how recording in the ultra-sonic range can have aesthetic potential.
In the project Unheard Sounds we have recorded a range of concrete sound sources
using a microphone sensitive up to 100kHz sampling the signal at192kHz. The same
signal has also been sampled at 48kHz for comparison. With these recordings as our
basis, our presentation will focus on our investigations of:
a) the differences between using 48KHz and 192KHz for different processes and
applications. For which processing strategies and perception modes does ultra-high
sampling rates achieve results that industry standard won't achieve? At this point, we
have shown how a simple technique as downward transposition by re-sampling,
where transpositions of one octave or more, results in clearly audible differences
between the two.
b) transpositions of ultrasound as compositional material. Which sonic structures and
qualities are found above the human hearing threshold for different sound sources?
Filtering out all audible frequencies and then transposing the ultra-sonic frequencies
down to the audible range has opened up for exploration of musical potential in an
unconventional manner.
c) recording strategies for sounds above our hearing threshold. Is it possible to
navigate microphone placement without monitoring the sounds, and do the sound
sources we choose even represent information in the ultra-sonic range?
d) composing/producing a musical piece based on the findings. The recordings of
different concrete sounds and findings related to transposition will be categorized in a
sample library. This sample library will be used for further processing and as building
blocks in a short composition/production.
Sound examples will be published at a separate web site at a later stage.
The Gift of Life
is a little project I had which was associated with the Hiperorgânicos IV event at the NANO lab at EBA in Rio fall 2013. This event broadcasted a lot of sensor data from plants in their in-house terrarium over the internet, so that it could be streamed from locations all around the world. Being located in Norway, where it was late autumn at the time, I found it appropriate to create a kind of distant organic echo using dead leaves, and then let the leaves be animated by an electric fan, which was controlled by the data from the terrarium in Rio. The sound of the leaves rustling was picked up by piezo and condensator microphones, gently processed and accompanied by a discreet drone. The sound was then supposed to be streamed back to the NANO labs terrarium for the plants to enjoy. However, due to technical problems in Rio, the audio streaming was never effectuated. Eirik Havnes was so kind to assist me with soldering and rigging the microphones. The video can be found here.
Performance at ICMC/SMC2014 in Athens
Being accepted to the ICMC/SMC conference with Jeu de mode we had the challenge of finding funds for bringing the three required dancers there. When our attempts failed, we instead decided to present a piece based on recordings of a Chinese poem by the Weimar based opera singer Fang Hao. This resulted in a two part study in interactive dance which we called Songshan Mountain, after the title of the poem. It was put together and rehearsed during the three first days of the conference and presented at a night concert September 17. The first part was coreographed while the second was structured improvisation. Robert Wechsler danced and coreographed while I made the music. The Norwegian Embassy in Athens were so kind to sponsor our accomodation, and had a nice little article about the performance on their website.
Performances at NYCEMF
After an invitation from Madeleine Shapiro I had the pleasure of playing two pieces at the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival June 3 and 4. The first performance was Jeu de modes featuring dancers Jossia Clement, Annika Dörr and Teoma Naccarato with coreography by Robert Wechsler.
In the second performance the same dancers performed La dance II, a piece I developed in collaboration with cellist Madeleine Shapiro and Robert Wechsler using live sampling and treatment of live cello sound along with motion tracking of dancers and cellist.
Jeu de modes at Concordia University
May 30 the Department of Contemporary Dance at Concordia featured a performance of Jeu de modes, with dancers Annika Dörr, Jossia Clement, and Teoma Naccarato.Jeu de modes is an interactive dance piece I composed and Robert Wechsler coreographed exploring ranges of dynamic in expressive gesture – from small discrete finger movements, medium sized "conversational" gestures, to large, energetic swipes and explosive outbursts – and how these movements can be interpreted sonically. The title plays on the composer Francois Bayle's theoretical work regarding the phenomenology of listening and acousmatic music – music without visual sound sources. The piece utilizes TOF (time-of-flight) sensor technology and custom-built software implemented in MotionComposer. With exception of the fixed intro, the piece is entirely composed with csound. An edited video of the performance can be found at https://vimeo.com/113473411. Listen to an audio excerpt here.
Workshop at Concordia University
2014: May the 29th me and Robert Wechsler had a workshop at Concordia University Montréal aimed at dance, music and technology professionals and students. We also had generous assistance from Teoma Naccarato (who hosted and organized the event), Jossia Clement and Annika Dörr who danced an excerpt from "Jeu de Modes" as an opening of the workshop. Robert talked about his artistic work and followed up with the more recent work with motion composer. I had a short technical session explaining the general functionality of the EyesWeb component of Motion Composer along and the csound component of the Particles environment. The fun began when we divided the group into two and let them play with each their Motion Composer system. The participants, many of them dance students, were very good at exploring the environments and they were so caught up in it that the problem was actually to make them stop moving and dancing. A lot of fun! We closed the workshop with an open conversation/discussion where many interesting points and experiences came up.
Motion Composer workshop at C.A.R.E
Together with Robert Wechsler, Teoma Naccarato, Annika Dörr and Jossia Clement I held a workshop at the C.A.R.E centre in Montréal using the Motion Composer May the 27th (2014). The participants from C.A.R.E were a group of great people with a positive attitude and curiosity for this strange piece of soundmaking technology we brought with us. Since they were exclusively wheel chair users they mostly worked with the chair versions of the environments of the Motion Composer. Many of them played great solos, especially Frank, who played an amazing solo on Tonality, shaping out beautiful musical phrases with nuance and dynamics, often reminding of Liszt. The picture below is taken at another event.
Motion Composer Workshop at InfoMusThe Motion Composer team was gathered for a little week in beautiful Genoa March 2014, working with development and testing of MC version 2.0. This time, a new member of the team, Ives Schachtschabel, was introduced, and we greatly enjoyed his improved version of the Tonality environment.
T-EMP report
In december 2013 the report T-EMP: Trondheim Electroacoustic Music Performance - Communication and interplay in an electronically based ensemble was printed. The project contains a description of the methods the collaborators in T-EMP have applied in the artistic research project, as well as artistic output and artistic results. I have contributed with a section on audience reception of the ensemble at one particular occasion. The report can also be found online at researchcatalogie.net.
Performance at CYNETART 2013
The interactive dance piece Play of Modes (Tiresias), to which I composed the music, was performed at CYNETART 2013 November 15th in Dresden, with coreographer and dancer Robert Wechsler, dancers Annika Dürr and Thomas Mader, with technical assistance from Marcello Lusanna. A video of the performance can be found here.
concert at Rockheim
November 13th I arranged a loudspeaker concert at Rockheim presenting acousmatic pieces for diffusion and ambisonics. Natasha Barrett and Anders Vinjar from Electric Audio Unit presented their own ambisonics works along with pieces by Hoffmann and Manocchi. In addition, master students from the Music Technology Program at NTNU diffused their own stereo pieces, using a 22-channel diffusion rig. I was fortunate enough to open the concert with a premiere of my own piece "Play of Modes - Overture", which is a reworked and extended version of the opening of "Play of Modes" performed at re-new. Listen to the piece at soundcloud here.
re-new Digital Arts Festival, Copenhagen
Together with the head of MotionComposer, coreographer and dancer Robert Wechsler I contributed at the re-new Digital Art Festival in Copenhagen October 28.- November 2. The festival presented a great variety of new media art forms, including interactive installations, robotic instruments, multimedia art works and music, dance and art performances. Our first contribution was a paper presentation, entitled "Movement-Music Relationships and Sound Design in MotionComposer, an Interactive Environment for Persons with (and without) Disabilities" (download paper proceedings here). Our planned interactive dance performance "Play of modes", selected as one of 17 accepted performances of 246 submissions, had to be somewhat modified due to our dancer taking ill, but fortunately the wonderful canadian dancer/coreograph Teoma Naccarato came to our aid, and danced two of her parts, with a brilliant result. Lastly, we did a workshop. There we gave an introduction to video based motion tracking and its use in the Particles environment that I am designing for MotionComposer. The parti cipants had brought their own sounds that we adapted together, so that they finally could play these sounds in the Particles environment.
Article published in LydskriftIn the 1/2 issue of Lydskrift, a Norwegian web based journal for issued related to comtemporary music and composition, I have written the article "Stemmer i elektroakustisk musikk – opplevelse, beskrivelse og visualisering" (Voices in electroacoustic music - experience, description and visualization). See http://www.lydskrift.no/story/stemmer-i-elektroakustisk-musikk
Article in Organised SoundI have got an article published in Organised Sound, vol. 18, issue 2, entitled "The Maximal–Minimal Model: A framework for evaluating and comparing experience of voice in electroacoustic music". It is based on work I did in my PhD. If you have a subscription, you can read it here.
Presentation at EMS2013 with Asbjørn Tiller, NTNUJune 17-21 Electroacoustic Music Studies Network arranges the EMS2013 conference taking place in Lisbon, Portugal. There, I am presenting the paper together with Asbjørn Tiller from the Department of art and media studies at NTNU entitled I am sitting in that room – reverberation, resonance and expanded meanings and Lucier's I am sitting in a room. Abstract can be found here.
2. International Workshop 2013
I am back after an intense week in Weimar at the second International
Symposium and Workshop with MotionComposer
as guest composer. As
earlier it was a week packed with intense work and good experiences.
The first big challenge was getting all environments to work with the
new tracking software developed by Paolo Coletta and Simone Ghisio at
They made huge
improvements and we were thrilled to see glimpses of what the
additional 3d sensor (this time using Kinect) can imply for the
tracking. I was also thrilled to meet and get to know the work of other
composers, Giacomo Lepri (also InfoMus), Pablo Palacio (Spain) and
Marcello Lusanna (Italy/Berlin). As earlier each day included a session
with disabled people from Apolda who came in and played our
environments. This gave us valuable feedback as to what worked well and
not so well in our patches. The workshop ended with a show at the
Audiomax Halle in Weimar, where the group from Apolda performed with
the environments. This year we also had performances from
Wechsler, the director of MotionComposser, a dancer, Annika
who performed solo and in a duet with Thomas Mader, playing my
Particles environment.
Update (Feb.18th 2013)Larger parts of this site are now restored, including sound examples for my PhD thesis, Experiencing Voices in Electroacoustic Music.
Update (Jan.4th 2013)I have started to reconstruct this site after a major crash fall 2012. Hopefully it will be filled with contents again from February 2013. Due to a forthcoming article in Organised Sound which makes extensive reference to my PhD thesis, i will start with getting the thesis project page up again.
Sorry for all this!

VPMA conducted an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) Prep Course in August that helped prepare 23 participants to take the Entomological Society of America's (ESA's) exam.
VIRGINIA — VPMA conducted an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) Prep Course in August that helped prepare 23 participants to take the Entomological Society of America's (ESA's) exam.
Becoming an ACE is not a walk in the park. This certification is designed for pest professionals who have the knowledge and experience (at least 7 years) of pest identification, behavior and treatment, but don't have the formal education to attain their Board Certified Entomologist (BCE) designation. The ACE Certification requires diligent self study and preparation in order to pass the exam that is intended to verify that the individual seeking the ACE certification clearly understands the ins and outs of pest management.
Dr. Dini Miller, of Virginia Tech, and Jim Fredericks, Technical Director of NPMA, conducted the full day of training that included a review of insect biology and morphology and general pest knowledge for biting and stinging pets, cockroaches, pest ants, occasional invaders, rodents and stored product pests, wood destroying insects, pest management tools and practices and pesticide safety, laws and labels were also covered. While the prep course can not substitute self-study, the review does give participants the opportunity to clarify information they may be unsure of and is another chance to become familiar with the information. Participants said they felt the prep course was an important element in their preparation and that it gave them a boost of confidence going into the exam.
Participants had the option to take the exam the day following the prep course, or to take the exam in October prior to the VPMA State Technical Meeting. About half opted to take the exam in August, some opted for the October date and still others will set up their own date with an approved ESA proctor within the year.
Prior to the VPMA ACE Prep course, Virginia only had a handful of ACE certified professionals. VPMA's current president, Jeff Johnson, who attained his ACE designation through a prep course offered in Florida in 2010, made bringing the ACE program to Virginia one of his top priorities. As a result, there are now an additional 9 individuals who hold the ACE certification, and there are still more who have yet to take the exam.
VPMA plans to hold an additional ACE Prep Course during the winter of 2012. If you are interested in becoming an ACE, please contact VPMA. The sooner you register with ESA and begin reviewing the numerous study resources, the better prepared you will be to take the exam! Also, please keep in mind that you must make application with ESA to become an ACE at least 30 days prior to taking the exam.
Congratulations are extended to the following individuals who attained their ACE Certification through the VPMA ACE program:
Kyle Franklin, FMC Corporation
Jack Horsley, Terminix Seva, Inc.
Wayne Kessinger, Reliance Termite & Pest Control
Gregorio Lozano, Bell Environmental
Keith McCormick, A-Active Termite & Pest Control Co.
Don Richards, Orkin Commercial Services
Joe Stuart, Raven Termite & Pest Control Services
Dale Trombley, Yahweh Environmental Services
Jeffrey Weidhaas, Terminix
Editor's note: This story was updated and revised on Nov. 4.
Two of the most destructive termite species in the world are now swarming simultaneously in South Florida, creating hybrid colonies that grow quickly and have the potential to migrate to other states.
Casey Parker recently won the ONE WORLD competition, organized by the UF College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Challenge 2050 Project in conjunction with the Syngenta Good Growth Plan.
Terminix released its annual ranking of the most termite-infested cities in the country. Cities in California and Texas dominated the list, earning six of the top 10 spots.
Scarlett Nolen, daughter of Truly Nolen, has been promoted to coaching and retention coordinator.
She previously worked as director of human resources for the company.

Thieves target buildings' brass fittings for fire hoses
Lake Stevens police are investigating a string of thefts discovered earlier this week.
In recent weeks, someone stole six such fittings in Marysville.
"It is a life safety issue," Lake Stevens fire marshal Robert Marshall said.
It's also a blow to the local businesses that must pay to get the fittings replaced, Lake Stevens police spokeswoman Julie Ubert said.
Two years ago, Lynnwood, Marysville and Snohomish experienced a similar spree of stolen brass fittings.
The first Lake Stevens theft was reported earlier this week outside a Walgreens pharmacy in the 700 block of 91st Avenue NE.
Authorities later discovered additional thefts in the Frontier Village area at Blockbuster Video, Safeway and Bourne Orthodontics. There was an attempted theft at the Highway 9 Casino nearby.
Thieves are stealing the fittings from the stubby Y-shaped pipes that protrude from the ground near large commercial businesses equipped with fire sprinklers.
Firefighters use the fittings to tap into the pipes and provide a second supply of water to the sprinkler system during fires.
Buildings with sprinkler systems -- typically large, commercial spaces -- are required to have the fire hose fittings.
For business owners, it's not just a matter of paying for a new part. The sprinkler systems also must be back-flushed to remove any debris that could have entered the open pipe. That can mean a bill up to $2,000.
Then there is the potential toll on a business if it is forced to close because of extensive fire damage, Marysville fire marshal Tom Maloney said.
"The disturbing thing is there are scrap-metal people taking fire department parts," he said. "They are not household items. Somebody doesn't normally come in with this thing that's used in the fire service. Property owners and businesses and municipalities are not going to get rid of that stuff."
The fittings typically fetch about $8 to $15 from recyclers, depending on the scrap-metal market, officials said.
Scrap metal is an $85 billion industry each year in the United States, according to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries in Washington, D.C. Thieves follow the market.

Comments about My First Shades Sunglasses-Royal Blue:
These sunglasses are great, since there are no moving parts to pinch little fingers on. Also, my little guy sticks everything in his mouth, so I wasn't worried about sharp edges. The strap is adjustable, so they will grow with him.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

WASHINGTON – On Aug. 6, the Massachusetts Legislature declined to pass legislation backed by animal-rights groups that would have prohibited hog farmers in the state from housing sows in gestation stalls. The legislation was approved by the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, but then was held in the Senate Ways and Means Committee and was not brought up in the full House before the legislature ended its formal session.
Gestation stalls are used for pregnant sows because they allow for individualized care and eliminate aggression from other sows. The Massachusetts bill would have banned the practice, plus limit other practices farmers use to care for their animals, according to the National Pork Producers Council.
Well-funded animal-rights groups have poured significant amounts of money into northeast states for years in an unsuccessful attempt to strong-arm lawmakers into passing laws that restrict the rights of farmers, NPPC charged. The states, which have little pork production, are being used by animal-rights groups as pawns to advance a national agenda aimed at controlling how farmers raise and care for their animals, NPPC added.
"Massachusetts family farmers are relieved the legislature had the good sense not to waste time debating a law prohibiting farmers' choices in taking care of their animals," said Lisa Colby, a Newburyport, Mass.-based hog farmer. "It is unfortunate these organizations insist on wasting lawmakers' time – and their donors' contributions – on so many failed attempts to deny farmers' right to farm. No two farms are alike, and we thank the legislature for realizing that farmers should have the freedom to operate in the best way for their farm and for their animals."

The annual Wreath Laying ceremony organised by White Horse (Wiltshire) Trades Union Council to commemorate Thomas Helliker will take place on Sunday 22 March at 12.30 at Thomas Helliker's Tomb in St James Churchyard, Trowbridge.
The Rector at Trowbridge St James has said that he will talk about Thomas Helliker in the church service and that we are welcome to attend the service which starts at 10.45 and finishes at around 12.15. He will encourage members of the congregation to join the wreath laying.
Thomas Helliker is an important figure in Wiltshire and working class history. In the early nineteenth century the introduction of machinery into the woollen trade impoverished thousands of workers; the best organized of the dispossessed workers, and the most opposed to mechanization were the shearmen. Littleton Mill near Semington was allegedly burnt down by a shearman in 1803. For his supposed part in this, a young Trowbridge apprentice, Thomas Helliker was hanged in 1803. Despite Helliker having an alibi from his friend Joseph Warren he was charged and lodged in Salisbury gaol. He refused to give evidence that would clear his name because it would have incriminated the real culprits.
I do hope you will be able to join us.

Sexuality and HIV education can help adolescents develop the capacity for healthy, respectful relationships and protect themselves from unwanted and unsafe sex, unintended pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infection. "However," says Population Council social scientist Nicole Haberland, "only a few curricula actually demonstrate an effect on unintended pregnancy or on sexually transmitted infections. We see the strongest results with those curricula that emphasize gender and power issues. Unfortunately, most curricula still do not address these issues."

Yes, I plan to put it on CD's to listen over and over.
I remember vividly the expression of Dr.Carson's decision not to blame the current generation of white people for the sins of the past generations of slave owners. He admits that perhaps reparations should be made but asked pointedly, "From whom should we get them?" explaining that no one living today had anythng to do with the past deeds of their forebears.
Since this book is non-fiction, no characers are present. However, Dion Graham is very articulate and easy to understand in his reading, just as Dr. Carson is in his speeches.
Injustice and prejudice are everywhere but can be overcome. Things in our current government administration which seem irrational to me are just as irrational to all people who seek truth for truth's sake, not for personal gain or fulfillment of revenge in some vendetta against a segment of our population. Dr. Carson was treated to miserable unkindness by his teacher, who should have been very proud of and thankful for him in her class. (I would have been!) But he CHOSE not to let that stop him and moved on in our American Dream society. I admire this man more than I could ever tell him or show anyone. He is unafraid of speaking up for his faith in Christ and his reliance on the Bible. He is a true hero to people of every shade of the skin color rainbow (whether they acknoweldge that fact or not) because he seeks truth and does not tolerate the "shades of gray" that modern progressives want to foist on our population. And as he says, "Let the media try to dig some dirt on him - he as NOTHING to hide!" All the leftist/statists can do is twist his words and foment anger with that twisting. However, he shows in this book that he's a really smart man with a great sense of humor, so he'll be very word-crafting careful in what he says.
I wish Dr. Carson well and pray for his strength and courge as God taps him on the shoulder to run for President of the United States in 2016. American needs this kind of common sense rationale.
"One of Brown's Best"
Sandra Brown makes the villains pay in this novel. Everyone who hurts Jade Sperry is repaid with greater but different pain in the end. Experiencing this book through Audible is like reading the Old Testament story of Esther where God's name is never mentioned, but one sees the plan of God unfolding and His guiding hand of justice dealing out righteous retribution to evil.
Dillon Burke is my favorite character because of his honor and integrity in his job, with his family, with his grief, and in his patience with Jade to help her overcome a disfunction that was forced upon her in her youth.
Dillon Burke was best portrayed by Dick Hill because his accent with this character was the most consistent.
Audible books are good for my 4+ hours/week windshield time, but with this one, I had to carry my Kindle with me everywhere for a chance to hear the next chapter, then finished it while cleaning the house.
Some books are difficult to stay with during traffic, but Sandra Brown's stories are so direct and enticing, that hearing them is almost the same as reading them. Audible books are a faster read, however, because you can listen and drive, or cook, or clean, or garden, or even rest and still be experiencing a great book by a favorite author!
"A Conservative "MUST-READ"!"
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know just how communism is bringing down the United States of America. If we who understand history do not speak up to not get our people (47%) to start thinking about providing for themselves the lifestyle they can afford rather than depending on the government to care for them with other people's money, we will go down the funnel of our own self-destruction just like the Roman republic did, and just like the Romans, we will arrogantly cry, "Why did this happen to us?" These "free-loaders" and "gold bricks" will be the ones crying the loudest, but they will provide a bit of humor for the rest of us to alleviate the suffering a little.
Chapter 6 gives the history of the communist movement in the U. S., especially the way Alinsky's ideas helped promote collectivism and redistribution of wealth to level the classes and destroy the hope of earning a better life. The outline is very clear and completely researchable for those who are skeptical of Breitbart's veracity.
The excitement when Breitbart helped James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles bring ACORN down. The media attacked the tapes, of course, but the dismantling of ACORN stands, to the betterment of freedom in our society.
He says that the thing that would appeal to him about religion is its search for absolute truth. He wanted the media simply to lay out the facts without bias or attack on either side. Journalism today, however, is all editorial, posing as factual. It is all Op Ed - ed meaning education of those who will not fact check.
The unfortunate thing about the people who are alive when history vindicates Andrew Breitbart is that they will be suffering as they never dreamed possible in America. Just because it hasn't happened in our country for decades does not mean it cannot/will not happen again.
