So i decided to sell my switch rod combo which never got used anymore. I sent the item on on 8/16 and it arrived in Rocklin, CA on the 19th. it sat at the post office till the 26th. The gentlemen i sold to has opened a case that the rod was shattered inside the rod tube. so in a nutshell, i sold rod, rod gets sents via usps, Guy receives rod, rod is fucked beyond all belief, now i have to refund him the money, now i get a broken rod back and cant use the funds to purchase my new galvan i was supposed to pay for. No lube and Definitely butt hurt
Are you sure you packed the rod properly? Are you sure the guy you sold it to didn't break it himself?
how do i prove any of this? the rod was in its carrying case wrapped like 20 turns in bubble wrap with a A whole roll of tape
Ah, the "postal service"... Can't seem to be able to read typed addresses on our mail (and that of others), can't seem to be able to deliver $2500 checks to the addressee-it went to one of our neighbors. We can send people to the moon, but we can't sent a package across the state without it going through North Korea first. I once had to go pick one up at a post office annex where it got sent because someone was too stupid to read the address label (typed, of course) and so didn't deliver it. I walked in, and found no one there. A little button was on the counter, with handwritten instructions; "if no one is here, press button" in English, Spanish, and Russian. I pressed the thing, and about 5 minutes later this guy saunters in and asks if I need something!
That's a bummer. Sadly, shit happens. I use this and it's well worth the extra couple of bucks; https://www.usps.com/ship/insurance-and-extra-services.htm
Wait, are you saying the picture above is AFTER it was delivered? Every delivery company has it's problems. Misdeliveries happen (yet, you're right, sometimes a certain driver can misdeliver CONSTANTLY). Was tube damaged? If tube shows no sign of damage, then something else happened or it wasn't packed properly. Bubblewrap isn't a guaranty that it was packed properly. It's on how much movement the rod had in tube, did rod have any slop at ends of tube, was it a factory tube? Too many "ifs" to why it happened. But sadly, usually a breakage is a majority of the time fault of the person who packed the rod. Not saying the carriers damage, because we do, but it's usually from mispackaging.
it was in the stock st. croix tube. The pictures i have are before the rod was sent. rod case is not pictured
Ok, have to clarify this. Those tubes aren't always the best way to ship. Why? Because some of them have flimsy tops and bottoms. Causes slop when shipping (even with bubble wrap). And even with bubble wrap, unless you totally encased it, there's a chance that if tube dropped that one piece may have had a break or open spot in bubble wrap and crashed straight down. Since a lot of those tubes aren't padded or have a hard bottom, that one piece could've jammed straight down. And most carriers have a rule on a box should be packed to drop a certain height.
Yah it's a loss I'm assuming. The nice thing is st Croix appears to have a decent repair/ warranty program Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 2
I know its fun to bash on USPS, but I send/receive a ton of stuff through them and their overall record has been impressively positive considering that I'm sending a box 3000 miles away for $8 or whatever. But s--t happens. Sucks when it does, that's for sure.
The problem is not exclusive to the USPS. I've sent and received items damaged during shipping via UPS and FedEx. If anything, I've had better luck sending items via USPS than UPS. When I consider all that I order via the Internet, very little is damaged during shipping. However, for some reason, when I send something to someone it doesn't always arrive as sent. Sometimes I wonder if they are looking at the package for drugs or bombs or whatever and damage the goods while doing so. Perhaps packages sent from private individuals to private individuals go through a different scanning process than something sent from Amazon.
Usually the shippers themselves are trained to pack. People really don't know how to pack well. Only a few have what it takes to pack properly (and trust me, I know people who've made some wild claims of the amount they've shipped and have all the knowledge that can't pack to save their lives). Most vendors are damned good at packing. BUT, I know a few big named companies that are VERY bad about their packages. If there's movement in box, if box has slop (as in, if you can press on the sides and it easily moves in), or you have too heavy of an item in a box, it'll most likely get damaged. Or better yet the box may be destroyed. Like I said, and this has held true, almost everytime the damage is caused by the person packing it. I've inspected more then my share of damages, and when I've seen how they were packed they were packed wrong. The best one I ever saw was a package being sent to themselves (bought it on vacation and sent it home to themselves). They raised hell when I went to inspect package (damage claim). Again, heard story how they used to own some big outfit that shipped UPS all the time and they KNEW how to pack properly. Nope, wasn't packed well at all. Product inside was damaged, but if it was properly packaged it would have made it there easily.

If you circumcised your son, come in here! *poll*
- 857 Replies
What do you think about this? Do you feel like the "personal choice" YOU made for ANOTHER PERSON was very, um, personal? If it's what you believe in, what about what your son may believe in? Do you believe your child is a possession that you can change and use to accommodate what YOU believe in, instead of what he may want in the future?
And lastly, if you circumcised, do you understand what your son experienced at only a few days old with no pain relief, and do you regret it? Why didn't you circumcise your daughters, if you had one? Women have foreskin, too.
I am pregnant with our third, a boy, and I've heard so much back and forth, and I'm wondering what other moms have done and why. I've gotten the "you're butchering your child" all the way to "if you leave him intact, he'll get infected and die".
Quoting Jessica_Esqueda:We didn't circumcise. Not my penis, not my choice.
Quoting Jessica_Esqueda:We didn't circumcise. Not my penis, not my choice.
Our ds is circumcised, because I was sure he would be glad we did when he got older. I don't think he remembers it, and better then than now. No, I don't regret it. I would do it again if I had another son.
The doctor never asked us, when we had our dd, if we wanted her circumcised. ???
I think your title would be more accurate if it read "If you circumcised your son, come in here so I can bash you!"

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
My husband and I bought these for the Halloween Party at Disneyland. We needed an inexpensive, quick costume! Bought yellow t shirts at a craft store and red Dickies pants to complete the outfit. The collars are one size fits most, as are the hats. So after we put the entire costume together they looked adorable.

The concert program will consist of works by Polish composers, from Chopin to some of the most important of the 20th and 21st century composers. One of the most important early 20th century Polish composers is Karol Szymanowski, and Dutkiewicz always includes one or more of his pieces in his concerts. For March 11, Dutkiewicz will perform Szymanowski's Etudes, opus 33. Also on the program will be works by Kazimierz Serocki and Bogusław Schaeffer. In addition to being a virtuoso pianist, Dutkiewicz is an internationally renowned composer. During the evening's program, Dutkiewicz will perform his Three Sketches in Retrospect and his Suite for Piano.
March 11, 2005, 8:00 pm Andrzej Dobber is a graduate of the Music Academy in Kraków. In 1990 he was the winner of the German Television Singer's Competition in Munich. This award opened the doors for him to perform with the best opera companies in the world, including La Scala, Amsterdam, Dresden, Paris and Berlin. He has sung under Riccardo Muti, Colin Davis, Roger Norrington and Zubin Mehta. The Waterville Trio (pictured above) consists of Hélène Jeanney, piano, Hanna Lachert, violin, and Qiang Tu, cello. In describing this truly international ensemble, Derkowska can barely contain her admiration. Hanna Lachert's, "captivating phrasing, beautiful tone quality, always polished phrases and impeccable intonation—these are only some of the violinist's virtues revealed in the exposed parts of Piotr Lachert's 25th Sonata Le Coucou. On the piano and cello, "Jeanney represents a modestly noble style of music-making, winning the audience with her concentration of thoughts and emotions." And the cellist Qiang Tu also impressed the author with, "his beautiful cantilena and vivid and coloristically varied phrase line."

Program: The 1st volume of the series, titled Musicology in Wrocław and edited by Maciej Gołąb is a product of the Polish-German-Ukrainian Conference that took place in 2003 on the Wrocław University campus. Articles included discuss the history of musicology in German Breslau as well as Polish Wrocław from the perspective of musical history at the Wrocław Universtity and Lwów Musicology School. This volume is published by Wrocław University Publications, Wroc?aw 2005. This year's celebrations mark the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Karol Szymanowski Museum in Zakopane. The museum is housed in the Atma, a villa built around 1890. The first idea of creating a museum dedicated to Szymanowski came about in 1937. Another initiative was started 30 years later, then in 1972 the Warsaw Music Society bought Atma. Finally, in 1976 after renovations, the museum was opened to the public. During the week-long anniversary celebration, organizers have prepared concerts and lectures. For the full program go to: meloman.interia.pl/news?inf=722993 Eufonium, a Polish publishing house that focuses primarily on guitar music, was established in February 2005 with this concern: "It appears that Polish music of the 19th century (not only guitar music) needs careful examination. Moreover, some steps should be taken in order to restore the worthwhile works to the contemporary audience's awareness." (Jarek Pabisiak, April 2005). J.N. Bobrowicz is one of these great forgotten Polish composers, and Eufonium has taken the opportunity of his anniversary to publish two editions of Bobrowicz's works. They also have published works of Felix Horetzky and have plans to release more works by Horetzky, Chopin, and Szczepanowski. Visit Eufonium publishing at: www.eufonium.pl.
The American Academy of Arts and Letters has honored Polish composer and Helen B.& Frank L. Sulzberger Professor in Composition at the University of Chicago Marta Ptaszyńska (pictured at right) with the prestigious Benjamin H. Danks Creative Music Award for 2006, with a special distinction for opera and oratorio. The Benjamin H. Danks Award is given to an exceptional composer of large ensemble works. Candidates for the music awards are nominated by the 250 members of Academy. The Award will be presented at the Academy's headquarters in New York on the 17 May 2006. The Warsaw Voice, a weekly Polish magazine, has awarded its Chair of the Year Award for 2005 to Rafał Blechacz, a young Polish pianist and winner of the 15th International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. Rafał Blechacz is the first musician to receive the 17-year-old award. The Chair of the Year Award is given by the Warsaw Voice to the person or the institution that was important to Poland in that given year. The award is in the form of the director's chair. This competition takes place once every two years in Copenhagen. The artists must prepare 80 minutes of repertoire from which the jury picks the performance pieces in the first two rounds. The artists have their choice in the final round. Trio Aristos performed pieces by Beethoven, Schubert, Webern, Norgard, Dohnányi, and Ysaye. |
Karol Rathaus (1895-1954) wrote his Sonata No. 1 C minor Op 2 in 1920. The composition consists of four movements: (1) Grave e Maestro, (2) Lento con espressione, (3) Sherzo. Presto, and (4) Finale. Grave. Allegro energico. The 1st movement follows the classical sonata form in every detail with its two contrasting subjects: the dramatic first subject in C minor, declaimed with great pathos, and the contrasting lyrical second subject beginning in the third-relationship of E flat major before appearing in C major at the recapitulation. Then E flat major is established as the principal key of the three-part 2nd movement, with its stormy middle section framed by two calm passages in a curious twilight mood. This twilight is the result of the harmonically ambivalent tritonic tension rooted in the alternating broken E Flat major in A major chords at the beginning of the movement. The 3rd movement acts as a dominant to the E flat conclusion of the 2nd movement—a demonic scherzo in B flat minor. A tritone (C-G flat) again gains prominence at the onset of the movement, at first giving the movement a degree of harmonic instability, which is later given direction by the fortissimo cue of the bass octave B flat. Piu lento (Con sentimento) is the title of the nostalgic G flat major trio—a deliberately romantic episode colored with melancholy which stands in contrast with the incredibly complex, and at times rather dissonant, rondo-like Finale. The numerous allusions to Eastern Jewish chants in this sonata are noteworthy. These are recognizable in the transition to the second subject of the 1st movement, but are particularly clear in the far-reaching melody at the beginning of the 2nd movement and in the melismatic motion circling around the smallest interval cells at the beginning of the 3rd movement. Perhaps these moments can be understood as a personal testimony on Rathaus' part to specific Jewish traditions in his East Galician home, as his childhood friend Soma Morgenstern impressively describes in his memoirs, In einer anderen Zeit [In a Different Time] (Luneburg: zu Klampen 1995.) In his 1st Piano Sonata, composed in one movement in the year 1926, Jerzy Fitelberg strives for the utmost concentration regarding the formal conception as well as the piano setting, which is characterized by crystal-clear polyphony in the neo-baroque spirit. The rapid succession of marked, at times grotesque, segments is a distinguishing feature of the sonata, as are the imaginative yet always organic shifts between tonal, polytonal and free tonal movements far removed from academic formula. Within a brief space, passages of strict style inspired by Bach are linked with elements of jazz and popular music of the 1920's in a humorous, pianistically brilliant manner and a toccata-like "drive" is contrasted with halting syncopated rhythms. The difference between Karol Rathaus' emotive 1st Piano Sonata and the extremely brief form of Jerzy Fitelberg's 1st Piano Sonata could hardly be greater—Fitelberg's deliberate rejection of all late-romantic and impressionistic influences is typical of the "atmosphere of departure" displayed by the generation of composers born after 1900, for whom the magical sound of Schreker's works seemed far less attractive than the rhythmic force and instrumentation skills of Stravinsky. Comparison reveals remarkable parallels between Fitelberg's 1st Piano Sonata and the finale of Goldschmidt's 1st Piano Sonata Op. 10, also composed in 1926, and a similarly light, crystal-clear piano setting based on baroque models is to be found in the Suite (1928) by Zdenka Ticharich, who studied with Schreker from 1923 to 1925. Fitelberg's sonata, the earliest documented performance of which was given by Kurt Applebaum on July 17, 1928 at a recital evening by Walter Gmeindl's composition class in the concert hall of the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, is not only typical of the stylistic preferences of Schreker's composition class in the mid-1920's, but also characteristic of major anti-romantic tendencies in the music of that decade. The first CD in the set features Stanisław Moniuszko's concert overture Bajka [Fairy Tale]; Zygmunt Noskowski's symphonic poem Step [The Steppe], Op. 66; Grzegorz Fitelberg's symphonic poem Pieśń o Sokole [Song about a Falcon]; Witold Lutosławski's symphonic version of Mała suita [Little Suite], consisting of three movements: Fujarka [A Pipe], Hurra Polka and Piosenka [A Song]; as well as Mieczysław Karłowicz's symphonic poem Episod na Maskaradzie [An Episode at a Masquerade], completed by Fitelberg after the composers tragic and untimely death while skiing in the Tatra mountains. The second CD is solely devoted to the second greatest Polish composer after Chopin, Karol Szymanowski, with whom Fitelberg enjoyed a close companionship and collaboration. The first featured composition is none other than Szymanowski's Symphony No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 19, in three movements. The second is Szymanowski's Concerto No. 1 for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 35 featuring soloist Eugenia Umińska. The third features four fragments from the ballet Harnasie, including The Sheep are Driven to Pastures, A Highlander Dance, Highlander Robbers March and Highland Robbers Dance, inspired by the local townspeople of the Tatra mountains. The forth composition featured is Pieśń Roksany [Roxana's Song] from the opera Krol Roger [King Roger]. The fifth and final Szymanowski piece is Nocturne and Tarantella, op. 28 which was arranged and orchestrated by Fitelberg. |

John Barleycorn

; Ballad Index ShH84
; trad.]
This old ballad of the death and resurrection of the Corn God was recorded in many versions by lots of musicians:
A.L. Lloyd sang John Barleycorn in 1956, accompanied by Alf Edwards on English concertina, on English Drinking Songs. This recording was also included in 1994 on his Fellside anthology CD Classic A.L. Lloyd. Lloyd commented in the latter's sleeve notes:
The song is related to the ancient idea of the Corn King. Perhaps too neatly so, hence the suspicion that it may not be a genuine piece of primitive folklore. It is old (it was already in print c.1635) and has been passed on by generations of country singers. The tune is a variant of Dives and Lazarus.
A group of Boggans from Haxey, Lincolnshire, sang John Barleycorn in the 1950s in a recording made by Peter Kennedy and Seamus Ennis. It was included on the anthology Songs of Ceremony (The Folk Songs of Britain Volume 9; Caedmon 1961; Topic 1970).
Mike Waterson sang John Barleycorn on the Watersons' 1965 LP Frost and Fire. His first three verses are quite similar to Lloyd's, the first half of the fourth differs more and his fifth verse is completely different from Lloyd's fifth and sixth verse. Mike Waterson's recording was also published on the Topic Sampler No. 6, A Collection of Ballads & Broadsides and in 2004 on the Watersons' 4CD anthology Mighty River of Song. A.L. Lloyd commented in Mike's original recording's sleeve notes:
Sometimes called The Passion of the Corn. It's such an unusually coherent figuration of the old myth of the Corn-king cut down and rising again, that the sceptical incline to think it may be an invention or refurbishing carried out by some educated antiquarian. If so, he did his work long ago and successfully, for the ballad was already in print in the early years of the seventeenth century, and it has been widespread among folk singers in many parts of the English and Scottish countryside. Cecil Sharp obtained this version from Shepherd Haden of Bampton, Oxfordshire.
Fred Jordan sang John Barleycorn in a recording made by Bill Leader and Mike Yates in a private room in The Bay Malton Hotel, Oldfield Brow, Altringham, Cheshire, in 1966. It was included in the same year on his Topic album Songs of a Shropshire Farm Worker and in 1998 on the Topic anthology They Ordered Their Pints of Beer and Bottles of Sherry (The Voice of the People Series Volume 13). Another recording made by Mike Yates in 1965 was included in 2003 on his Veteran anthology A Shropshire Lad.
Martin Carthy sang John Barleycorn in 1966 on Songs from ABC Television's "Hallelujah" and, accompanied by Dave Swarbrick, on their 1967 LP Byker Hill. This version is quite similar to Mike Waterson's, see the lyrics below. It was reissued on the compilation album This Is... Martin Carthy. Another version is on his 1974 album Sweet Wivelsfield. A live recording from Memphis Folk Club, Leeds dating from 1973 can be found on The Carthy Chronicles. He also sang it live in studio in July 2006 for the DVD Guitar Maestros. Martin Carthy commented in his original album's sleeve notes:
A.L. Lloyd in The Penguin Book of English Folk Songs points out that if John Barleycorn is a folklore survival of the ancient myth of the death and resurrection of the Corn God, it is remarkable if only for its coherence, but, he says, it could be the work of some more recent writer which was somehow absorbed into the tradition. It is certainly powerful enough to be the former but also quaint enough (not to use the word in its pejorative sense) to be the latter. It might be interesting to speculate further of the three men coming from the West (sunset—the place of death?) bringing with them the promise of live (for no matter what they do they succeed only in giving John Barleycorn new life) and the Three Wise Men coming from the East (sunrise—the place of life?) to see Jesus, bringing as gifts the promise of death. It is found all over the British Isles; this version was taken down in Bampton, Oxfordshire, by Cecil Sharp.
and in the Carthy Chronicles:
Forget the academic stuff about death and rebirth, fertility symbols and corn gods! The reason that this is one of the best known and most popular of all ballads—and one which has crossed a great many musical thresholds—is that it's actually about that other activity which most commonly accompanies the singing of traditional songs—drinking!
Dave and Tony Arthur sang The Barley Grain for Me in 1967 on their Transatlantic album Morning Stands on Tiptoe.
The Young Tradition sang John Barleycorn in 1968 on their last LP, Galleries. This track was included in 1994 on the Ronco anthology The British Folk Collection as the first Young Tradition track reissued on CD. They also sang it on November 17, 1968 at their concert at Oberlin College, Ohio, that was published in 2013 on their Fledg'ling CD Oberlin 1968. Heather Wood commented in the original album's sleeve notes:
From the Cecil Sharp collection. One of the many songs which we picked up by a process of osmosis.
Traffic recorded John Barleycorn as title track of their 1970 album John Barleycorn Must Die with verses nearly identical to Mike Waterson's. In fact, Steve Winwood learnt the song from the Watersons. This track was also included in 1975 on the famous anthology Electric Muse: The Story of Folk into Rock.
Derek and Dorothy Elliott sang John Barleycorn in 1972 on their eponymous Leader album, Derek & Dorothy Elliott.
Steeleye Span's version on their 1972 album Below the Salt is again similar in the beginning to the previous versions but differs in the last verse. They recorded John Barleycorn a second time in 2002 for their CD Present. A live recording from The Forum, London on September 2, 1995 was released on their double CD The Journey. Their singer Maddy Prior recorded John Barleycorn in 2003 for her solo album Lionhearts; this track can also be found on her anthology Collections: A Very Best of 1995 to 2005. Their first recording's sleeve notes commented:
Adam, Cain and Abel staggered manfully across the field carrying a plough, a harrow and a grain of wheat … John Barleycorn—mysterious intimations from above told them to dig three deep furrows and bury him—this done they returned home and started to draw up plans for the first ale house.
Bob Hart sang John Barleycorn at home in Snape, Suffolk in July 1972 in a recording made by Tony Engle. It was published in 1973 on his Topic album Songs from Suffolk. Another recording made by Rod and Danny Stradling in July 1969 was included in 2007 on his Musical Traditions anthology A Broadside.
Ernest Austin sang John Barleycorn in a recording made by Tony Engle at Bentley, Essex, in November 1973 that was published in 1974 on the Topic album Flash Company.
Bob Blake sang John Barleycorn in a recording made by Mike Yates at Broadbridge Heath, Sussex in 1974 that was included in between 1987 and 1995 on the Veteran Tapes cassette of traditional singing in Sussex, Ripest Apples (VT107), and in 2001 on the Veteran CD anthology of "traditional folk music from rural England", Down in the Fields.
Tom Smith of Thorpe Morieux (b. 1918) learned John Barleycorn from his father Bert Smith and sang it in a John Howson recording on the Veteran Tapes cassette Songs Sung in Suffolk Vol 2 (VT102, published in 1987-89), on the 2000 Veteran CD Songs Sung in Suffolk, and on the CD accompanying The Folk Handbook (2007).
Austin Flanagan sang The Barley Grain at home in Luogh, Doolin, Co. Clare, in August 1974. This recording made by Jim Carroll and Pat Mackenzie was included in 1998 on the Topic anthology Troubles They Are But Few (The Voice of the People Series Volume 14).
Barry Skinner sang John Barleycorn in 1974 on the Argo album The World of the Countryside.
Roy Bailey learned John Barleycorn from The Constant Lovers, edited by Frank Purslow, and sang it in 1976 on his album New Bell Wake.
The Songwainers sang John Barleycorn in June 1976 at the festival Eurofolk '76 in Ingelheim, Germany.
The John Renbourn Group sang John Barleycorn in 1977 on their Transatlantic album A Maid in Bedlam.
Louis Killen sang John Barleycorn in Winter 1977 at the Eldron Fennig Museum of American Ephemera; this recording was published in the following year on his album Old Songs, Old Friends.
There are several Fairport Convention live recordings of John Barleycorn, e.g. on Forever Young (Cropredy 1982), The Boot (Cropredy 1983), and The Cropredy Box (Cropredy 1997).
Andy Turner first learned John Barleycorn from Steeleye Span's album. On Magpie Lane's first album, The Oxford Ramble (1983), he an Ian Giles sang the classic Shepherd Haden version collected by Cecil Sharp, though. He sang a version collected in the 1970s by Gwilym Davies on Magpie Lane's 2000 CD A Taste of Ale. Andy Turner and Chris Wood recorded another version on a demo tape in ca. 1985 which he used as the October 22, 2012 entry of his project A Folk Song a Week. This version was collected from Bert Edwards of Little Stretton, Shropshire, by Peter Kennedy and printed in the latter's Folksongs of Britain and Ireland, and is similar to Fred Jordan's version.
Pete Morton sang John Barleycorn in 1990 at the Folk Festival Sidmouth.
Barry Dransfield sang John Barleycorn in 1994 on his Rhiannon CD Be Your Own Man. This track was also included in 2007 on the anthology Old Wine New Skins.
Coope, Boyes & Simpson sang John Barleycorn on their 1998 CD Hindsight.
Chris Foster sang Jack Barleycorn in 2003 on his Tradition Bearers CD Traces.
Jim Causley sang John Barleycorn in 2005 on his WildGoose CD Fruits of the Earth.
Chris Wood sang John Barleycorn in 2005 on his CD The Lark Descending.
Duncan Williamson sang John Barleycorn at the Fife Traditional Singing Festival, Collessie, Fife in May 2006. This recording was included a year later on Festival anthology Some Rants o' Fun (Old Songs & Bothy Ballads Volume 3). His version was also included in the EFDSS book of songs of English and Scottish Travellers and Gypsies, Traveller's Joy.
Tim van Eyken sang Barleycorn "after Fred Jordan" in 2006 on his Topic CD Stiffs Lovers Holymen Thieves. This track was also included in 2009 on Topic's 70th Anniversary anthology, Three Score and Ten.
Paul Weller and Martin and Eliza Carthy sang John Barleycorn in 2007 on The Imagined Village's eponymous first CD, The Imagined Village.
The Lark Rise Band recorded John Barleycorn in 2008 for their album Lark Rise Revisited.
Jon Boden sang John Barleycorn as the April 13, 2011 entry of his project A Folk Song a Day. He noted in his blog:
Another 'big song' that I've only just got around to learning. There are so many good versions around, to choose from, but this is basically Carthy's version I think.
Mark T sang John Barleycorn in 2011 on his CD Folk Songs & Ballads.
A.L. Lloyd sings John Barleycorn | Mike Waterson sings John Barleycorn |
There was three men come out of the west |
There were three men come out of the west |
They let him lie for a very long time |
They've let him lie for a very long time |
They hired men with the scythes so sharp |
They've hired men with the scythes so sharp |
They wheeled him all around the field |
They've wheeled him round and around the field |
I'll make a boy into a man, |
Here's little Sir John in the nut-brown bowl |
Oh barley wine is the choicest drink | |
Martin Carthy sings John Barleycorn | Steeleye Span sing John Barleycorn |
Oh there were three men came out of the west |
There were three men They have laid him in three furrows deep, |
They let him lie for a very long time |
They let him lie for a very long time And they let him stand till the midsummer day,
They hired men with the scythes so sharp |
So they have hired men with the scythes so sharp, |
They rode him around and around the field |
And they have hired men with the crab tree sticks, |
Here's little Sir John in the nut-brown bowl |
And they have wheeled him here and they've wheeled him there, Well, they have worked their will on John Barleycorn |

The question of how the realms of research and practice might successfully relate to one another is a persisting one, and especially so in education. The article takes a fresh look at this issue by using the terminology of collaboration scripts to reflect upon various forms of this relationship. Under this perspective, several approaches towards bridging the research/ practice gap are being described with regard to the type and closeness of interaction between the two realms. As different focuses and blind spots become discernible, the issue is raised concerning which 'script' might be appropriate depending upon the starting conditions of research interacting with practice.

It was on the tip of my tongue. Really.
Just a little hint was all I wanted, and I couldn't find it. Back in the mid-eighties, I watched a mildly amusing (very mildly) film that had some nice quotable lines. I'd like to give proper credit when I use them, because while it's fun to be obscure, it's even better when you can prove you're not making it up.
(Continued on Page 39)The good news: the Indiana Jones movies will be on DVD in November.
The bad news: the box set includes "Temple of Doom."
Han shot first.
We never saw Newt's family.
There was no World War II scene.
The government agents had guns.
Think of your favorite movies, the way you remember them. Pick them up on DVD, and there's a disturbingly high chance that the movie you see will be different somehow. Maybe it's subtle, adding a few minutes here and there that were originally chopped out for runtime or ratings issues. Maybe it's dramatic, restoring huge chunks of material that were arbitrarily slashed away by a clueless studio. More and more often, though, it's the result of a director revisiting his earlier work and simply changing his mind about how best to tell the story.
I call this "pissing in your whiskey," because the director is insisting that the best work he could do ten years ago has soured in the barrel, and needs an infusion of mature creative juices.
(Continued on Page 146)Ever since DVDs were introduced, I've made a point of checking every few months to see if they'd gotten around to releasing Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. Tonight I discovered that it came out last month.
Sadly, it only seems to be available in pan-and-scan, not widescreen. Beats hell out of my old VHS copy, though.
Since this was also the day that the state of California permitted me to take my new Browning Buck Mark pistol home, today officially qualifies as A Good Day.
I'm horribly rusty with a pistol, though; at twenty-five yards I couldn't get twenty shots into a group smaller than four inches. With a .22, no less. Blech.
Is it just my copy, or is the new Meaning of Life DVD horribly choppy on most DVD players? I suspect that it will work fine on the one that supports progressive output, but all the others fall apart any time there's any significant movement on screen. Deeply disappointing, since they all play other discs fine.
Update: I have four DVD players — seven if you count the computers — and only one can show this disc without serious tearing in almost every scene. That is, of course, the one that has progressive output, so there's no interlacing. This is the only DVD I own that looks this bad with standard interlaced video; I don't know what they did in the mastering process, but it sucks.
Okay, most of them are lame, and many will grate on the nerves of anyone who has two brain cells to rub together, but this one was worth it.
Continuing my trend of finding out about DVD releases a month after they reach the stores, I tripped across a copy of Dirty Pair: Project Eden today. I practically knocked over the shelf in my haste to grab it, because my ancient bootleg VHS copy is almost unwatchable, and this is one of my favorite OAVs. There's just something about scantily clad Women of Mass Destruction.
[The Dirty Pair Flash DVDs, and the recent graphic novel Run From The Future, on the other hand, do nothing for me; I don't like the art, and I don't like how they redefine the characters. The rest of the stuff is action/comedy gold, though.]
My other recent discovery was the John Carpenter cult classic They Live, best known for the lengthy and surprisingly realistic fight scene, in which two big guys beat the crap out of each other, and then spend the rest of the movie limping around like someone just beat the crap out of them. Loads of fun, and a far better alien-invasion story than just about anything else ever made in Hollywood.
None of the local retailers have They Live in stock. When I asked, one chain store manager complained "they ship me two copies of a great film, and thirty copies of crap I'll never be able to sell."
The local Borders cheerfully offered to order it for me, and since I've still got at least a dozen DVDs piled up to watch, I told them to go ahead. When I checked back today, I discovered that they expect it to take one month to get the order in, if it's in their warehouse.
WTF? A recent release, and the best they can do is send the warehouse a polite note asking if they could pretty-please send one along sometime after Thanksgiving? Should I point out to them that borders.com is an Amazon storefront, and I could have it before the week is out?
At least, not at Borders. Nine days after special-ordering a copy of the They Live DVD, released in September, I received the following postcard:
"The publisher reports that this title is currently OUT OF STOCK. Your order has been CANCELED. Please check back in a few months if you are still interested. Thank you."
Fortunately I was able to find a copy at Suncoast, and if that had failed, Amazon has it in stock. Hey, Borders, guess what I'm going to do the next time I can't find something in your store?
Ready? A Major Motion Picture Event, written and directed by the man who brought us Independence Day, about global warming. The sort of global warming that causes a simultaneous breakout of tornados, tsunamis, and other CGI disasters all over the world (or at least the parts Hollywood is interested in), and then brings on an instant ice age.
I figure he'll find a way to blame it on Bush.
Best. Fight Scene. Ever.
After all the trouble I went through to find a copy, I'm delighted to report that the new DVD of They Live is worth the effort. It's a bare-bones budget release, but they didn't skimp on the transfer. It's crisp and clean, sounds great in Dolby Digital, and the film itself is every bit as entertaining as I remember.
The IMDB page currently refers to an older DVD release, produced by Image in 1998. The quality was apparently rather disappointing. I'm glad they did it right this time.
Stargate, the movie. Not what most people would think of as a typical Christmas Eve film, but I'm a bit burned out on anime after the ending of Mahoromatic (although I didn't feel nearly as betrayed as Steven Den Beste, partially because I'd read the spoilers and they were even worse than the reality. But I digress). After polishing off my traditional Christmas dinner (pizza with pepperoni, onion, green peppers, and extra cheese, with a $20 tip for the delivery driver), I went through my piles of DVDs and picked this one.
Stargate holds a special place in my heart as one of the most godawful big budget science fiction films ever made. Magnificent visuals, but plot holes you could drive a truck through. I am constantly amazed that the producers of SG-1 managed to salvage a mostly coherent backstory out of this turkey.
It was quite a remarkable feat, really. They didn't just keep the visuals and the names, they managed to use almost every element of the story, jettisoning only the most ludicrous aspects, and subtly tweaked what they kept. Better still, their new material fit in almost seamlessly, creating a rich universe ripe for exploration.
The biggest achievement of SG-1, however, was that it hit the ground running. I don't think I've ever seen another SF series where the actors slipped into character so quickly and believably, and did things that made sense. Even with the occasional weak episode, the on-and-off casting, the rare slip into handwaved technobabble, and the Sci-Fi Channel's habit of jerking the schedule around, it's one of the few tv shows I actually look forward to.
I sort of follow Smallville (the first time in history that Lex Luthor has actually had a personality!). I mostly follow Angel (where do they find those women?!?). I usually watch Good Eats. I never miss Stargate: SG-1.
I'm told that the producers of the Stargate film felt horribly betrayed when MGM turned the property over to the people who developed SG-1. They wanted to make a feature-film sequel, taking the story in a completely different direction. To that, I can only say, "thank you, MGM". I can't shake the feeling that their sequel would have had all the charm of a flashback to the planet Zeist.
[much like the final episode of Mahoromatic; guess I can't stop that digression after all. I suspect I'll be gathering and extending the comments I've been exchanging with Steven on this one; I think I can beat his 5700 words and explain why I initially told him that the last five episodes "didn't suck" :-)]
As expected, Keanu Reeves as Hellblazer's John Constantine is going to suck. Even if you manage to get past the fact that they've made him an American and set the movie in Los Angeles.
…because it means I cannot remove my glasses to blur out horrible sights.
Starsky and Hutch, the movie, starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Snoop Dogg. Adding insult to injury, it's A new comedy from the director of "Old School" and "Road Trip".
The less said about The Son of The Mask, the better. Gouging out your own eyeballs with a spoon will be the summer fad, I think.
Latest rumor is that Britney Spears wants to be the next Bond girl.
I suppose the only sane response is to hold a competition to name her character. I nominate Trampona Streetcorner.
Could someone please explain to me how the film shown in this trailer could possibly deserve the title I, Robot? Or even how they managed to pull this story out of Asimov's legacy? "Sci-fi action thriller suggested by the classic short story collection", my ass!
Adding insult to injury, the official movie site is a steaming pile of Flash.
Why does every girl in this film look like a cheap knockoff of some other recently-popular teen actress? Or do they all look like that these days?
I refuse to believe that the original turkey made enough money to justify a sequel.
"The Rock" is set to star in Spy Hunter, a movie based on the classic arcade game, possibly directed by John Woo.
There's a new teaser trailer for Constantine, the extremely loose adaptation of Hellblazer that stars Keanu Reeves as an American occult investigator in Atlanta. Who carries some kind of gold cross-shaped shotgun-thingy with a rotary magazine, that he occasionally lights with an eldritch Zippo.
I'm going by the teaser here, because I refuse to have anything to do with this turkey. It's not a question of "will it suck?", but "precisely how much will it suck?". Based on the sub-Keanu-grade acting in the teaser, I think it's going to be the worst comic-book movie yet. And it may hold the title for several years.
I wasn't surprised to find that my receiver takes a second or so to sync up to a new digital audio stream; this is not an unusual flaw. I was surprised that Airport Express isn't sending a continuous audio signal to the receiver when it's active, and that iTunes sends each song in a playlist as a separate digital stream.
Net result? My Kenwood VR-407 loses the first second or so of every song unless I set iTunes' crossfade option to at least four seconds. With that, the first song is still chopped, but as long as I don't change tracks manually very often, the majority are ok.
This would be acceptable as a short-term workaround, even though I despise crossfade, except that the device isn't terribly stable. Several times in the first hour, the audio stream simply locked up and had to be restarted.
Bottom line, until there are updates for both iTunes and Airport Express, it won't get much use at my house. I could switch the connection to analog to avoid the crossfade, but that won't do anything about the unstable connection.
Good: releasing Aladdin on DVD. Bad: including a video of Jessica Simpson singing "A whole new world".
Worth every penny I paid for the seven DVDs (but I am not, repeat not, buying the Noir otaku soap). There are a lot of things I could say about it, but I think it's sufficient to say that the ending is driven entirely by the way the characters were developed during the course of the series. Nothing has to be explained in terms of "the director added it to make the plot work out" or "they needed a cool fight scene here, so X did Y".
The plot does work out, and you definitely get the cool fight scenes, but it's because the heroines and villains are doing what they should do, given the sort of people they are and the situations they're in.
After viewing the latest trailers, I just can't decide which film is going to be worse, Nicole Kidman's Bewitched (yes, that Bewitched) or Keanu's Constantine. For a long time, I thought Constantine would set a new low in franchise abuse, but then I was exposed to the concept of Kidman as Samantha.
I have to admit that I can't think of a better Endora than Shirley MacLaine, although I doubt that will be enough to save it. For me, Kidman's best film will always be BMX Bandits.
Once again (and hopefully for the last time), Lucas proves that his best movies are those written and directed by someone else. It's very pretty, though.
It was difficult to keep from analyzing the gaping holes in plot and logic, but somehow I managed often enough to enjoy the experience. I suspect I'll manage to watch it once more when it comes out on DVD, but that's it. There's not enough meat to it to reward multiple viewings.
Like many geeks, our entire office went out to see episode 3 today on the company dime. Reflecting on the experience during the drive home tonight, I realized that I finally understood Lucas' vision.
(Continued on Page 2311)Coming this fall: The Legend of Zorro, sequel to The Mask of Zorro, once again starring Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It appears to come from the same school of sequelizing as The Mummy Returns, including the annoying child.
Co-written by the executive producers of Jack of All Trades and Alias, which tells me nothing. Same director, cinematographer, and sword master as the original movie, which I must confess are good things. What the trailer really seems to lack, though, is any hint of the charm of the first movie; both leads seem to be trying to mimic their earlier work without much success.
Just watched the high-resolution trailer for Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm (normal, boring Quicktime trailer here). The 720p version isn't entirely smooth on my 1.25 GHz G4 Powerbook, but still quite gorgeous; upgrading to Quicktime 7 Pro and switching to full-screen mode improved it a bit (and, of course, enabled the various save and edit options as well).
The woman in the trailer who looks a lot like Claudia Black apparently isn't, by the way.
Saturday, a friend was flipping through channels and left this running. I'd never gotten around to seeing it, since I generally consider Tarantino an overrated hack. After a few minutes, I was mentally apologizing to George Lucas for the things I've said about his ability to write dialogue. Fortunately, we were soon able to get back to something more interesting.
Last night, I got bored and found it on cable again, and watched some more. I felt like I was slowing down to watch a train wreck. I didn't enjoy it at all, but a question just kept running through my mind: "has it hit bottom yet?".
The answer was always "no".
If Brian and Lion are right, the worst mistake Disney has made with this movie is creating a trailer that makes it look like a remake of Doc Hollywood.
"…is a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie!"
I'm not entirely sure why, but it must be so. Perhaps it's the unique vision of writer/director Kevin Munroe, as displayed in his previous hit, the D-grade console game Freaky Flyers. [disclaimer: I've never heard of this game, and apparently neither has anyone else]
Nice rendering in the trailer, though.
Just search for it on Google and Youtube. It's terrifying, in a "do I really need a Japanese Xbox 360 right now" kind of way. If you find yourself downloading the 720p version of the trailer from that German torrent site, all hope is lost.
[Update: this site seems to have the best set of screenshots showing the gameplay. I like the dialogue in this one:
My initial response to the vintage-pulp poster for this film was, "oh, I don't think so".
My second response was "well, Christina Ricci's been looking kind of hot, recently, so I should at least watch the trailer. After all, she is in chains."
After watching the trailer, I've moved to "this could be fun."
I own a Toshiba SD-K700 DVD player. It's a nice DVD player, and it's never given me any trouble. Until tonight.
Tonight I attempted to watch Casino Royale, and it wouldn't load. So I switched to Stranger Than Fiction, and that wouldn't load, either. Then I tried The Prestige, which worked fine. All of my other DVDs still worked, too. (and yours worked in another player)
Three brand new releases, and the two that don't work say "Sony Pictures" on them. Hmm…
[Update: the story has finally hit Slashdot]
Why it might not suck:
No, not that one. Or that one. Or, well, anything you were planning to see this summer.
I mean this one, with an HD trailer that's so far away from the original teaser that they must have spent weeks assembling it from spare footage.
The teaser trailer for the new Get Smart movie should have spent a lot less time on Max, and a lot more time on 99 (Anne Hathaway). Or 23 (The Rock). Or the Chief (Alan Arkin). Or even the empty phone booth (uncredited), because the actor they cast for Max just doesn't have it.
Jim Carrey in Horton Hears A Who. At least it's not live action.
Scott informed me that I'd managed to get this song stuck in his head, and it seemed unfair to make him the only one. This is the entire Hello!Project army, circa New Years 2007. The big girls come on stage about 2 minutes in.
When confronted with the concept of Winona Ryder as Spock's mother, it shorted across the generation gap.
Not my education, you understand. I merely quote. More here.
J: My pardon; did I break thy concentration?
Continue! Ah, but now thy tongue is still.
Allow me then to offer a response.
Describe Marsellus Wallace to me, pray.
B: What?
J: What country dost thou hail from?
B: What?
J: How passing strange, for I have traveled far,
And never have I heard tell of this What.
What language speak they in the land of What?
B: What?
J: The Queen's own English, base knave, dost thou speak it?
B: Aye!
J: Then hearken to my words and answer them!
Describe to me Marsellus Wallace!
B: What?
JULES presses his knife to BRETT's throat
J: Speak 'What' again! Thou cur, cry 'What' again!
I dare thee utter 'What' again but once!
I dare thee twice and spit upon thy name!
Now, paint for me a portraiture in words,
If thou hast any in thy head but 'What',
Of Marsellus Wallace!
B: He is dark.
J: Aye, and what more?
B: His head is shaven bald.
J: Has he the semblance of a harlot?
B: What?
JULES strikes and BRETT cries out
J: Has he the semblance of a harlot?
B: Nay!
J: Then why didst thou attempt to bed him thus?
B: I did not!
J: Aye, thou didst! O, aye, thou didst!
Thou hoped to rape him like a chattel whore,
And sooth, Lord Wallace is displeased to bed
With anyone but she to whom he wed.
Marshall, Will, and Holly reunite to pretend they're adapting Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth. In 3-D. This doesn't look like a winner.
The trailers for Hellboy 2 may or may not be advertising a good action flick. One thing they're definitely advertising is the creeping doom that is political correctness.
Take a good look at this frame:
(Continued on Page 3074)When did The Rock become a pop-eyed cartoon dad? Because I'd swear that in the absolutely dreadful trailer for Race To Witch Mountain, his facial expressions were produced by animators.
We're planning a bad-movie marathon for some upcoming weekend. I've already acquired DVDs of some of my more memorable college rentals (in particular, Video Vixens and The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak)), but our planning reminded me of two others that weren't available last time I checked:
…and now they're mine!
When we got down to my house after seeing Spamalot, Nellie wanted to see Holy Grail. As I dug through the DVDs piled on my shelves, she was alternately amused and surprised by the contents of my collection, until I reached the one that turned out to be right above Holy Grail. I showed it to her, and got the reaction I expected: IT MUST BE MINE! (for a brief loan, at least).
When I told the story to Dave at lunch today, his blank stare reminded me how crucial a few years can be when it comes to pop culture. It had simply never occurred to me that someone in my usual circle of friends would never have heard of this:
(Continued on Page 3354)After watching the Avatar trailer, I have only one thing to say: if you're going to remake Pocahontas as a big-budget SF film, you could at least license the music from Disney.
Back-to-back short reviews over at Marginal Revolution, from Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok.
The gist of this and other reviews is that it's exactly what the trailers promised: gorgeous graphics demos strung together by a weak, derivative story that hits you over the head with a whopping big moral sledgehammer.
Much thanks to the Duck for his review of this film, which led me to include the DVD in my latest order from Amazon Japan. I was able to find a set of soft-subs for it that seem to be reasonably accurate (and were apparently used to subtitle the bootleg DVDs that people were selling on Amazon US for a while). It's a gorgeous, ugly, moving, and quite sad film, and Joe Hisiashi's score suits the material perfectly.
The few non-Duck English reviews I've found come at it with an axe to grind, making them basically useless for evaluating the film. Oddly, they all seem to think that no one outside of Japan would be interested, which says more about them than it does about the film.
It's not available on BluRay, but the image quality is still superb (Handbrake ripped it at 850x364). Sample screengrab below, from late in the film.
(Continued on Page 3470)I've always thought of the phrase "comeback album" as meaning "first release in a long time from someone who's dropped out of sight". In the K-pop universe, it apparently means something quite different. Girls' Generation released two incredibly successful EPs last year, had a major concert tour, released a single with a popular boy band, is constantly on television in one way or another, and one of the members is even the lead in the current theater production of Legally Blonde.
Everywhere you look, though, you see talk about their eagerly-anticipated "comeback" album, Oh!. Just like the Fall '09 Genie EP was their previous comeback, and the Spring '09 Gee EP was the comeback before that. The anticipation makes sense to me; they're talented and hot, and their label invests in quality songwriting, choreography, costuming, and career development. It's just that "comeback" seems to have crossed the ocean with only its literal meaning.
So, on to Oh!:
They're performing this song constantly on television, in all three of the outfits featured, as well as little white tennis dresses with knee socks (go ahead and look; you know you want to), but that's not all. The fans had barely recovered from the surprise ending of the video when they started performing the second song from the album, Show! Show! Show!. I could do without the excessively curly hair extensions and the "hats", and to be honest, it's not my favorite musical style, but I can watch them all day long…
(Continued on Page 3509)I know there's a market preference for translating foreign movie titles (with some interesting rules and exceptions), so that, for instance, Sleepless in Seattle becomes "If we should meet by chance…", etc, but I think you've really missed the point with this one:
For the kanji-impaired, that's "Old Man Carl's Flying House".
Overheard in the office break room:
"Yeah, did you see the new John Carter movie? I guess it was a remake, from like before Star Wars, before Star Trek."
…you get Blu-ray: Princess Bride, Spaceballs, and Masters of the Universe.
Okay, maybe I'll just get the first one.
Tyler Cowen on Marginal Revolution links, apparently approvingly, to someone's list of the 200 best action movies of all time.
I could eat a pile of VHS tapes and puke a better list than this. Some of the movies do belong on the list, but in wildly different positions; others are, um, kinda sorta not action movies, or kinda sorta not good.
Timerider is coming out on Blu-ray in March. Does this mean that we may see an HD release of Fred Ward's finest movie, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins?
"…even in the Eighties!"
Back in June, I expressed my envy of the fact that Japan got a DVD release of Megaforce, and we didn't. So, guess what finally came out in September in the US?
According to Gene Wilder, Harrison Ford's part in The Frisco Kid was originally intended for John Wayne.
I really want to see that movie.
Okay, I agree they're both Blu-ray discs, but other than that, I don't see how you got from Casablanca and African Queen to this.
Like most people, I skipped the theatrical release of Disney's John Carter. Watching it for free last night confirmed that this was the correct decision. The story's a mess; either I dozed off during key plot points, or they left them out. I suspect the latter, but have no desire to go back through it again and find out. Odd pacing, too, and perhaps the worst-integrated flashback I've ever seen; it really felt like a few seconds from a completely different movie, and I briefly wondered if it was a glitch in the playback.
I'm glad it tanked, because I really wouldn't want to see what they'd do to the rest of the novels if they made a sequel. There are plenty of flaws in the original stories, and things that wouldn't translate well to a modern film, but the choices they made for this one just didn't work. It felt like they deleted about twenty minutes of story-telling to get the runtime down to "way too long".
While watching The Wolverine with friends on Saturday, I caught a bit of Hello!Project music in the background about an hour in. When Logan tracks down Noburo to question him, he finds him partying with two European girls, and this is their sexy party music:
(for a brief moment, I misidentified it as Sade; I really hadn't noticed the stylistic similarity before)
Oh, by the way, this being an H!P group (the 2005 shuffle unit Sexy Otonajan ("Sexy Grownups?")), two of the girls are 12 years old, with heavily padded bras.
This arrived. What makes it special? It's widescreen, not the pan-and-scan that was released in the US.
Audio is English, with Japanese subtitles.
I just learned that there is a limited-edition Bluray box set of the complete Columbo series, for the Japanese market. It includes the English audio tracks, though, so the only snag for most people would be navigating the menus.
Well, and coming up with the $275 plus shipping at Amazon Japan. The "plus shipping" is what makes the $375 import pricing at Amazon US not completely outrageous.
It comes in a cigar box.
Suddenly, I regret my LASIK surgery…
Bond franchise doomed, film at 11.
Airport Express: call me when it's ready
Lucas terrifies another generation
The unifying theme of the Star Wars prequels
Perhaps not all of this summer's movies will suck…
"What the world needs right now…"
"It's here, it's here, the movie of the year!"
Dear Hollywood: Just… just… STOP, okay?
The benefits of a classical education
How can you come back when you never left?
Buddy movies from an alternate universe: The Frisco Kid
Dear Amazon recommendation system,

Summer Stipends for Faculty
Application Form Deadline: April 1, 2015
Purpose: The summer stipend program is designed to enhance the range of faculty development possibilities by taking into account that scholarly and creative pursuits take a variety of forms and may go through a series of stages before fruition. They acknowledge that individuals need time and encouragement to develop new courses or renew existing ones. To encourage several different ways in which scholarly and artistic work may be accomplished, the Faculty Development Committee will recommend to the administration that at least one summer stipend be awarded to qualified applicants in a) scholarly work or artistic project or b) course development and renewal.
Eligibility: Faculty members who are on a full-time continuing contract whose summer project would be at least one semester removed from a leave of absence are eligible to apply for a summer stipend. Faculty members may apply for only one Summer Stipend per year and are eligible to receive one award every two years.
Expectations & Rules:
All funded Summer Stipend awards are in the amount of $2500 to the faculty member as a salary supplement.
The fund provides a stipend for your time and effort. If you need funds to support expenses for the project, you should apply to the the Professional Development Fund
If the Summer Stipend is for Course Development or Renewal or for Technology Enhanced Course Renewal, the faculty member should teach the course within two years of the award.
Faculty members who are awarded summer stipends for course development and renewal will be required to work with the Dean of Faculty to develop an assessment plan for the course as part of the project.
Faculty members considering projects that involve technology should consult with Faculty Instructional Technology Support (FITS) at least two weeks prior to the application deadline.
Types of Summer Stipends:
Scholarly Work or Artistic Project: This award is designed to provide support and incentive for faculty who plan to bring a piece of creative work or a research project to a close, or who plan to complete a significant portion of a larger project at any stage. Criteria will include magnitude of the project; likelihood of publication, exhibition, or performance; and overall significance of the project for the field. The end result of the summer project will be a manuscript submitted for publication, an exhibition, or a performance.
Course Development and Renewal: Summer stipends may be granted for course development, technological enhancement, or for significant revision of full-credit courses and curricula. Priority will be given to proposals that support University-wide institutional goals and initiatives, such as multicultural diversity, interdisciplinarity, internationalization, ethics, and First-Year Seminars. Applicants should attach a letter of support from their department Chairs and from Directors or Coordinators of relevant interdisciplinary programs, confirming that the proposed course or revision meets a department and/or program need and that the course will be able to be offered within two years of the award. It is desirable that these courses be offered more than once and become part of the regular DePauw curriculum.
Criteria for Evaluation:
Completeness and Clarity of the Application: The application should include defined goals and should be written in language understandable to your colleagues on the Faculty Development Committee. It should be detailed and contain a full explanation of the applicant's process and product.
Scope of the Project: The project should be of sufficient scope to accomplish the outlined goals and to be completed over the summer period of the award.
Merit of the Project: Does the proposal show promise of significant achievement in course development, in curricular development or in pedagogy, or does it show promise of a project or product of scholarly/creative importance? In areas of teaching and curricular improvement, the size of the audience or the longevity of the program may be a factor in consideration. Documents or letters of support from colleagues with expertise in the area of the project may strengthen the proposal. FDC may ask for an opinion from another scholar in your field.
The Applicant's Qualifications: Applicants should document their expertise in the area of their project. They may do this by submitting work previously done, descriptions of courses previously taught (in the case of applications for course development or renewal), annotated bibliographies, or a brief statement of their field within the discipline.
Procedure for Evaluation:
Priority will be given to proposals for new courses or for major revisions of courses that will reach a large number of students and can be offered soon and regularly. In addition, priority will be given to proposals that support University-wide institutional goals and initiatives or support the University's curriculum, such as competence courses, distribution requirements, etc.
Proposals will be judged on their merits but all things being equal:
1. Awards may be distributed across disciplines.
2. Priority may be given to applicants who have not received a similar award in recent years and to applicants who have not frequently received grants from Faculty Development in the past.
3. Priority may be given to applications from tenure track and tenured faculty members.
Reporting Process: Reports for all Summer Stipends are due for by the first Monday of the following fall semester. For a course development award, reports should include a course syllabus and other appropriate materials. For scholarly or artistic work, the report should include the product from the summer work. Your report should be addressed to the Faculty Development Committee Chair and, like your proposal, should be readily understandable by colleagues outside your field. You should refer to the product you promised in your original proposal, and show how the funding enabled you to meet your goals and advanced your professional development. Depending on the nature of the project, you may include a narrative or reflective statement (no more than 3 pages). You should attach or provide documentation of the promised product, or in some cases, as for instance with a draft of a manuscript or a syllabus, you should attach the product itself along with a brief cover letter (up to 1 page). A member of the Faculty Development Committee will review and respond to your report.
Please submit your report electronically to Terry Bruner in the form of a WORD or PDF document (email@example.com).
Faculty members who fail to submit reports on time will be ineligible for Faculty Development funding until the report(s) have been submitted and approved.

About The Martinez Brothers
The Martinez Brothers named DJs of the Year
Congratulations are in order for The Martinez Brothers, named Mixmag's DJs of the Year for 2014.
There's no doubt that over the last 12+ months, the brothers definitely left their mark on the Ibiza club. As Mixmag points out, they were not only fixtures at the landmark throughout the summer, they truly let their personalities take on another dimension on the dancefloor. In fact, the magazine boasted, "Not since a young act by the name of Masters At Work has a DJ duo had quite so much charmisa behind the decks."
If the Martinez Brothers had a bucket list, they may have also crossed off most of the venues on it in 2014. We're talking about places like Creamfields, Southport Weekeneder, Fabric, Elrow, Tomorrowland, Ultra and Tenax and many more.
Christian and Stevie Jr. also recently worked with Nile Rodgers on an instrumental version of Chic's forthcoming track "I'll Be There." The cut was released on Rodgers' YouTube Channel on March 2, 2014 and is set to be the first single from Chic's new album. The brothers come in with bongo and claps, allowing Rodgers to capture a funky vibe much like he brought to "Random Access Memories" a few years back.
A full version of "I'll Be There" is scheduled for release March 20.
About The Martinez Brothers
Real-life siblings Christian and Stevie Jr., aka The Martinez Brothers, have been credited for bringing new life to New York's homegrown dance-music scene. All the way back in 2009, the New York Times cited their 'youthful-yet-knowing' DJ sets, and how they 'inspired a generation raised on hip-hop to move to a different beat.'
Often referred to as TMB, The Martinez Brothers were packing clubs back when Christian was still attending classes at Woodbury High School in Monroe, NY. The sky was the limit at that point, and the pair established themselves in places like Ibiza, Spain and Berlin, Germany. They gave interviews and were featured on the cover of Mixmag, a British dance-music journal. And no matter what, crowds seem to welcome anything and everything they want to play.
Given that they started their musical ascent as such a young age, one would think TMB would have cooled off now, yet that isn't the case at all. The brothers continue to embark on season after season of cross-continental clubbing, holding residency in Ibiza for a couple months, then moving on to DC10, with other stints at venues like Richie Hawtin's ENTER and well-known 'super-clubs' around the globe.
Still considered leaders in the global house music market, TMB spent 2013 beginning their NYC event series Mad Beats & Crazy Styles (in conjunction with events company Resolute). Guests included DJ Que, Rick Wilhite, Kerri Chandler and more. They also carried the concept all the way to the Kazantip festival in the Ukraine, and in their spare time started a new record label called Cuttin' Headz, which will serve as a home to their 'musical experimentations.'

Lots of fun – watching this. Nice. This chips driv nuts.
Cyprian Gwóźdź15:50
You can spend so much time trying to figure out all the significant details in the photo.
I'm not surprised the photographer is being hired for shooting the adevertisments. It's their point after all – to catch your attention and keep it for as long as possible. Very important in the times, when we learned to stay indifferent to commercials.

Released: May 01st, 1984
Running Time: 90
Company: Visual Entertainment Productions
Jamie Gillis, John Leslie, The Little Blue Box : Jennifer Welles
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
No, Virginia, The Little Blue Box is not a frostbitten prostitute. But it is a lot of fun. Jennifer Welles proves she is a super actress and comedienne (here playing a dual role), as well as a hot cookie in the sack. She plays Ms. Azure, salesperson extraordinaire, as well as John Leslie's standoffish wife. Plenty of sex here and well worth the watching for adult film historians.
Little Orphan Sammy, another older film, is a parody of you-know-what comic strip. Jennifer Welles won a Best Actress award for her comic portrayal of an evil seductress out to win daddy's money. My only complaint is that the actor who plays Sammy is so doltish that he became a bore about half-way through. Fun for the adult family, and hey, if Annie had Jennifer . . . it might have made it, too.
