Theobald II, Duke of Lorraine
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (September 2008)
Theobald II (French: Thiébaud or Thiébaut) (1263 – May 13, 1312) was the duke of Lorraine from 1303 to his death. He was the son and successor of Frederick III and Margaret, daughter of King Theobald I of Navarre.
In 1298, he took part in the Battle of Göllheim, near Speyer, in which the king of Germany, Adolph, was killed fighting his rival, Albert of Habsburg. Theobald was on Albert' side, despite the history of support for the legitimate emperors (which Adolph aspired to be) in the history of his family.
In 1302, he was at war helping the king of France, Philip IV, married to his cousin Joan I of Navarre. He was at the Battle of the Golden Spurs at Kortrijk, where the Flemings defeated the French chivalry under Robert II of Artois. He was present also at the Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle in 1304, where the French king personally led the army in a less decisive battle. He, along with John II, Duke of Brabant, and Amadeus V, Count of Savoy, was sent to negotiate peace with Flanders.
In 1305, he was at Lyon, at the crowning of Pope Clement V. When Clement imposed a tax, a tenth-part, on the clergy and charged the duke to collect it, Theobald successfully met the opposition of Renaud de Bar, bishop of Metz.
He married in 1278 Isabella (1263–1326), lady of Rumigny[disambiguation needed], daughter of Hugh, lord of Rumigny, and Philippine d'Oulche. They had:
- Frederick (1282 † 1329), his successor in Lorraine
- Matthias (died c. 1330), lord of Darney, Boves, Blainville, and Florennes
- Hugh, his successor in Rumigny, Martigny, and Aubenton
- Mary, married (1324) Guy de Châtillon (died 1362), lord of La Fère-en-Tardenois
- Margaret († 1348), married (c. 1311) Guy de Dampierre, count of Zeeland (died 1311)
- Isabella (died 1353), married Érard de Bar (died 1337), lord of Pierrepont
- Philippine, nun

The House of Delegates consists of alumni representatives from across the United States and Canada who advise and assist the Alumni Association in its outreach programs. Delegates may assist with recruiting new students to the University, fundraising and legislative relations. Each spring, new delegates are chosen with the approval of the Board of Directors. Delegates serve three-year terms and have the option to become emeriti members at the end of their three-year commitment. Delegates are invited to attend the annual delegates' meeting held in Missoula at Homecoming each fall.
Examples of Volunteer Activities
Assist the Alumni office and other delegates in your area in planning and organizing alumni or University events when needed.
Review your district lists of alumni in your area provided by UMAA (during the Leadership Session). Check for obvious errors and alert the Alumni office, adding business information wherever possible. Ask for business cards of alumni you meet and send them to the Alumni office.
Help identify and recruit prospective students of the University of Montana.
Observe local newspapers for news about UM alumni. Inform the Alumni office and send congratulatory notes on your own behalf and that of UMAA.
Indicate to UMAA if you are interested in serving on other University boards or advisory councils. Most professional schools and colleges on campus have groups similar to the House of Delegates and the UMAA Board of Directors. UMAA will refer your name to the appropriate academic office if you are interested.
Identify and nominate individuals to join the House of Delegates. You will be advised by the Alumni office when names are needed. The Alumni office staff will forward your recommendations to the UMAA Board of Directors for selection of the next class of delegates.

Rumpus in Akwa Ibom PDP over council elections
All is set for the June Local Government polls in Akwa Ibom State. However, the primaries held by the ruling party in all the 31 council areas are causing problems that are threatening the peace. Correspondent Kazeem Ibrahim writes that those who lost out allege that favourites of party leaders were imposed, contrary to guidelines and the democratic norm.
A CRIMONIES have continued to trail the just concluded Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) local government primaries election in Akwa Ibom State even as the government expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise which many believed was fraught with violence in some parts of the state.
Reports from some council areas in the state were not palatable on the ground that the exercise which was meant to be peaceful was marred with fraud, snatching of ballot papers, among other sundry issues.
The exercise which was held across the 31 local government areas in the state saw the emergence of some aspirants as chairmen and councilor flag bearers, while primaries were not concluded in some council areas as a result of violence recorded during the poll.
As expected, the aggrieved parties in the polls are beginning to fault the exercise, which according to them, was no election but only imposition of candidates across the 31 local government areas.
Some of the stakeholders blamed the leadership of the party for not allowing a level playing ground for the aspirants to test their popularity strength during the poll. A situation they say, has been reminiscent of what the PDP hierarchy is known for over the years.
Also, according to them, the exercise was the opposite of what the PDP state Chairman, Paul Ekpo, had preached when he addressed electoral officers prior to the commencement of the primaries at the PDP secretariat along Ikot Ekpene road, in Uyo, the state capital.
Ekpo had said to the electoral officers: "I want to assure you today that the exercise is going to be free and fair. I want to warn the electoral officers that we have great respect and regard for you. Make sure that whatever you bring from the field will represent the choice of the people.
"I want you to be fair and do justice to all. Any of you should not circumvent the legal proceedings. One thing is very paramount, if we have any report of violence from any ward, the candidate will be disqualified. Our women must be given free hand to also represent the party. PDP is gender sensitive."
The above quotes seem not to concern some of the political associates who employed the services of hoodlums to unleashed terror on unsuspecting citizens in a bid to satisfy their paymasters. Also, contrary to speculations that about six people were feared dead during the primaries, the Police Public Relations Officer, Onyeka Orji, refuted such claims, saying nobody died during the PDP primaries election in the state.
Orji, in a telephone interview, admitted that there were security challenges during the polls. The police spokesman cited the case of a woman who was knocked down by a vehicle in Oruk Anam LGA as the only case the command is presently investigating.
His words: "To be very honest with you. I don't know where people are getting the figures of those killed during the primaries from? The fact remains that nobody died during the PDP primaries in Akwa Ibom State except for a woman that was knocked down in Oruk Anam LGA and the command is currently investigating it.
"We should be careful of mischief makers that want to disrupt the peace the state is currently enjoying on the ember of tribalism. Any aggrieved persons should seek redress in the law court and desist from fomenting troubles."
Despite the perceived flaws in the poll in some of the LGAs, the exercise was adjudged as free and fair in Uyo, which produced Ekerette Ekpenyong as the standard bearer. Other PDP flag bearers are Tony Akan, for Uruan, Mark Esset, for Nsit Atai, Victor Antia, for Mbo, Henry Nko, for Ibeno, Sylvester Jobson, for Ukanafum, Mrs. Mfon Etim, for Nsit Ibom and Ekpe James, for Ibesikpo Asutan LGAs.
In Essien Udim, the hometown of the governor, a former council chairman, Nse Ntuen, was returned as the party's candidate, while Joseph Ikpaisong emerged as the standard bearer for Abak LGA after polling 227 out of the 278 votes cast.
Also, a female aspirant, Mrs. Gloria Usen, emerged as flag bearer in Ikot Ekpene. In Etinan, the hometown of the state chairman, Paul Ekpo, the exercise produced Kenneth Okon as the winner while Joseph Ekurikut defeated 15 other aspirants to emerge PDP standard bearer for Oruk Anam LGA seat. In Etim Ekpo, the primaries was said to have been marred with violence where one person was said to have been shot dead. A situation, which led to the postponement of the poll.
For the Itu council seat, unconfirmed reports had it that delegates were allegedly denied entry into the venue to exercise their franchise. There were also reports of use of fake delegate tags by supporters of one of the aspirants.
In Mkpat Enin, a journalist, Ephraim Akpan emerged as the standard bearer. The emergence of Akpan has drew the ire of the youths of the area who believed no election took place during the primaries, that the journalist was only imposed on the people of Mkpat Enin.
A youth leader from Mkpat Enin, Sunny Ekanem, who is calling for a rerun of the primaries in the interest of justice said that that the rerun election had become necessary as a result of the irregularities that trailed the exercise.
Ekanem, who is the Southsouth zonal coordinator of the PDP National Youth Vanguard, said the rerun is significant in order to satisfy the provisions of Article 17 Section 2 (c) of the party's constitution which deals with the nomination of candidates for election into public offices.
His words: "Article 17 of PDP Constitution section 2 (c) says: In the conduct of primaries for the party's candidate for the post of local government council chairman, the primaries shall be held at the local government constituency headquarters. But in the case of Mkpat Enin local government area the primaries did not hold in accordance with the party's constitution and guidelines that should govern it."

Camp of Disaster
Prologue: From so many angles
11PM: Unknown location
I'm in a field... don't exactly know where. There's not much to go by. A few tents here and there and some trees... that is all. I'm bleeding, heavily, from a wound in my shoulder. A pulse blast ripped through it. Only Angel's have that kind of technology. There's... a girl standing over me... a girl and a boy... I can't remember either of them. Blood loss is setting in... I'm starting to black out. I know I can't die, but this is the worst I've felt in my life. And my life has been a long one... My jacket's stained with blood, I ache all over. My name... is Meph. I'm a singer for an angel band named TAB... I just charged at someone, I can't remember who, but there's something in my hand... I'll figure out what I'm doing here, though it may take a while...
5AM: Heaven bedrooms.
It must be... 5 in the morning. Earth time. Though I dunno what other time I would be referring to... Mars maybe. I've been trying to sleep, all night, with no luck. Music's pounding in my ears and I can't get this one boy out of my head. I'm in white pyjamas... mind you everything is white here. I'm tapping one hand on my knee, humming out the song Hey Cupid, performed just last night by some friends of mine. My hair's a mess, running all the way down my back. My name is Denise Simmons and I'm not allowed to love my boyfriend. I don't care about policy anymore... I care about him. Carl Montclaire. I'll do something for him... returning the favour of that date last night. But what? No ideas spring to mind... singing, that's the only thing that I can think of as of this moment. No lyric ideas spring to mind... besides, I don't usually write love songs, it's not my field. Although... I think I know some people who can help...
10PM : Bennet Camp site
I'm bleeding from a cut on my face. My face is burnt in numerous locations and my eye is so bruised it looks like a swelled up raisin. I'm in the medical tent, being treated by about 3 members of staff and a red-head. Jane Casey, for definite. Only she would stay up this late for me. She's just standing there... staring at me intently. I know she likes me. A lot. But this can't go on. It's not allowed, it's the rules. I can't date Jane, that's just how it is. Though I don't understand how Carl and Denise have got away with it for so long... She's wiping the blood from my forehead, placing an ice pack on my burns. There's someone in the corner... a man... I can't see his face. There's something on his arm... I recognise that cannon though. It must be him... the man who gave me those wounds. Just like that he's gone, with one clench of his fists. My name is Porter Jackson, and I'm pretty much the most popular angel and student to have existed. Not that I mean to sound smug by saying that...
10AM: A local street
This is the hardest crime to have ever been committed. It may be small... but it's so big at the same time. My colleague's standing over me, staring down intently at the clue I'm studying.
"That looks like wolf hair..." He says simply, his brow furrowing
"Before you ask, Elwood, it's not Dark Valley. It's someone cleverer than that... though it is wolf hair... though who would rob a load of romantic CD's?" I ask myself
"That's what the shop owner wants us to find out!" Elwood laughs, placing one of his large hands on my shoulder "If anyone can figure this out, it's you man."
"Don't flatter me so much. I'm just one PI, and I haven't been on a case in years. Though how could I resist a request from an old friend." I stand up from the clue and me and Elwood walk away, away to examine the store once again. My trench coat and tie are billowing out in the wind. It's strong today... stronger than usual. I hold my bowler hat against my head to prevent it from blowing away. My name is Gigz. I'm a rock guitarist, though I work for the APS. This is the hardest cases I've been on... I dunno how I'm gonna crack this. But I'll find a way, after all, I'm the best in the business...
3PM: Bennet High Bus
I'm sitting next to her, holding her hand all the way. Nothing's getting in the way of the two of us. Nothing. I look back, the band is still sitting there. Meph's smiling, as usual, tapping his hand on his knee. Skully's grinning like an idiot and Rubix sits quietly in the corner seat. Absent from the band is that guitarist... I can never remember his name... Gigz, that was it. He's apparently off solving a case with some detective. I never knew that he did that sort of thing. I kiss my girlfriend, smiling at her all the while. She brushes the hair out of her eyes and places her head on my shoulder. She's asleep quickly, and I know why she's tired. I danced like hell last night, it was the best date of my life. My name is Carl Montclaire and right now I'm going on a camping trip with my friends. Bennet's annual camping trip to be precise. With my new girlfriend there this year, it should be a laugh...
7AM: Heaven rec room
My drumsticks are at my side, my new bandana slipping down my head constantly. I'm thinking about numerous things... that's slightly worrying... I just beat level 16 of Sonic Adventure 2 battle, Dark side story. Things are going great in my life. My best friend's pacing the white room constantly
"Skully, your break." Rubix says, tiredly, from the other side of the pool table.
"Sorry, man, miles away." I grin and smash the white ball into the triangle of colours.
"Guys, should we do it? We need to apologise and all." Meph suddenly says, making me drop my cue. Rubix's shaking his head as usual, and Meph's leather jacket really doesn't go with the white room... that was a weird thought, never thought about contrasting colours before
"Your choice man." Rubix says, smashing the red stripe into the left pocket "I'd consult Lordly first." He finishes
"Whatever you go with. We're with ya." I smile and smash two spots into the bottom right pocket.
"Shot, and, yeah. Cheers, dude. Gonna go talk to Shock's now. See you in a sec." Meph does quick rock star hands and beams away. My name is Skully, I'm the drummer for TAB and Meph's best friend. Rubix groans and picks up his cue.
"Good shot... but I bet I can do better." Rubix smiles smugly, and lines up his shot on the blue...
7AM: The CD store.
I got them. Just like master asked. I'll please him. That Porter Jackson is finished... My name... is Zira...
So... who is this mysterious Zira? Why's Meph bleeding? What will happen next? Find out in the next few chapters my friend.

Unfinished Greatness
'Read no history: nothing but biography, for that is life without theory.'
——— Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)
Mobolaji Sanusi
(Contd from last week)The public still remains enthralled by the tenacity with which Tinubu fights his many battles within and even outside power. He fought ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo's tyranny against true federalism in Nigeria. At a period in office, Tinubu believed that the large population of Lagos needed more local governments so as to further bring development to the grassroots and he created more. But the Obasanjo administration resisted the move with all arbitrary might, even when the Lagos government in deference to the rule of law, quickly approached the Supreme Court that gave judgement that recognized the legality of the act, even though in its learned view, the process was 'inchoate.'
The federal government used extrajudicial means to frustrate governance in Lagos when Obasanjo unconstitutionally seized the funds meant for the local councils, but Tinubu remained undaunted. The local council development areas (LCDAs) courageously created then are still in existence. The way Tinubu conquered the petty bickering against true progress of Lagos and federalism by PDP henchmen such as Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former Lagos State senator and Minister of Works, and Bode George, an ex-convict and erstwhile Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority and former south-west vice-chairman of the PDP requires rigorous scholarly study.
Tinubu has over time proved to have the uncommon ability to wine and dine with the devil without getting his hands burnt. At a point during the local council funds crisis, his information managers put up a press release describing Obasanjo as a statesman among other superlatives. I took him up in my column in Vanguard newspaper then, promising him that he would regret that action and further admonished him to remain steadfast and not waver on the principled path he had chosen. But the intolerance in his media managers came to fore as I was viciously attacked through a rejoinder signed by Kehinde Bamigbetan, his Chief Press Secretary then but now chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area in Lagos, that was published in my column the following week. I was proved right by time as Obasanjo truly claimed not to be what Tinubu's information managers un-strategically called him. He held onto the local council funds until the expiration of himself and Tinubu's tenure. The funds were reportedly released by late President Umaru Yar'Adua to Governor Babatunde Fashola, Tinubu's successor in office.
Tinubu has come out of very difficult situations in the past without blemish. He is a cat with nine lives. He survived the conspiracy of the older Afenifere. The public appreciated his foremost contributions with other leaders like Chief Bisi Akande, Akinrogun Olusegun Osoba and Alhaji Lam Adesina to establish Action Congress (AC) in 2006 and later Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), a political party that today is proudly the fulcrum of political administration in the south-west.
As a Senator in 1992 representing the Lagos West constituency in the truncated Third Republic and later frontline founding member of the pro-democracy National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), he mobilized support for the restoration of democracy and sought recognition and revalidation for the annulled June 12 presidential election results, before he was forced to flee to exile in 1994. He returned to the country in 1998 after the death of the military dictator, Sani Abacha. Tinubu has truly paid his dues in politics.
It is pertinent at this juncture to remind Asiwaju that he needs
more of people who can think strategically in the progressive fold. He has gained strength, courage and confidence by every political experience he has passed through. Much more is expected of him on the path of excellence that he can neither afford to fail nor falter. The south-west and the entire country look up to him for a deepened strategic thinking in his continuation of meritorious leadership to the progressive fold in the ongoing struggle for the soul of Nigeria. Indeed, the greatness is just unravelling for Asiwaju. —Concluded. ( My contribution to the book: 'Asiwaju: Leadership in Troubled Times' that was launched on the eve of his 60th birthday on March 28, 2012)
Last week, there was a production mix-up that led to the use of Akinrogun Segun Osoba's picture rather than that of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the object of focus of that and today's article. The mix-up which is corrected in today's concluding piece on Asiwaju is regrettable. My unconditional apologies for any embarrassment such production misdemeanour might have caused particularly Asiwaju, Akinrogun and my readers.
Elder Jadesola Ibidapo @ 80
One of the most amiable, peaceful and pleasant mothers that l have ever met will clock 80 years tomorrow. The celebrator of tomorrow's 80th birthday is no other person than Chief (Mrs) Jadesola O. Ibidapo, the mother of Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, the indomitably spirited and hardworking former acting vice-chancellor of LASU and the current deputy VC of that great institution who is at the moment in NIPSS, Kuru, Jos.
There will be Thanksgiving service to mark the event tomorrow morning at African Church Cathedral, Broadstreet, Lagos while reception follows immediately at KFA Events Centre on Lekki Expressway.
Our mama is not just the mother of Professor Olatunji-Bello and her siblings but a good and caring mother to all of us that are part of the family. Mama's love for her darling husband and pillar, Chief Meshack Emiola Ibidapo, like a red wine is ever refreshing. As mama clocks 80 today, I sincerely wish her many happy returns of the day while praying that peace and joy will not elude her and Papa all the remaining days of their lives. Accept my 80 'gbosas' ma!

Well hello, fancy seeing you here! So if...
Well hello, fancy seeing you here! So if you're actually reading this than I think half the battle has been won and now I just need to keep your attention by talking about myself...I guess I'd call myself a laid-back gentleman :) I've been out of the dating scene for a while, but women still like to have doors opened for them and be treated with respect right? I should be fine. I've been a registered nurse now for about 6 months (cue the male nurse jokes lol) and loving every minute of it. I'd say that I'm looking for someone enjoys some of things that I like: someone that likes to laugh, doesn't mind being made fun of (and isn't afraid to dish it right back), doesn't like opening doors (that's my job), loves to kiss (I'm like a damn teenager when it comes to making out...), likes to hang out and watch tv wrapped up in each other, makes time for the gym (or other physical activity), isn't afraid of trying new things, likes animals, hates ignorance and hypocrisy, enjoys live music, has a healthy sexual appetite (an important part of a strong relationship...no, seriously), laughs at jokes that aren't even funny, laughs at themselves, has a nerdy hobby or two, loves different kinds of food, occasionally cries at Pixar films...ok I guess I'm just describing myself a bit here, but if this sounds like you too then I think we're already off to a good start :) I just want to connect with someone and care for that girl who will care for me right back. I want to treat her like a queen and she'll treat me like a king. I'm a nice guy and I want a woman who WANTS to be treated right (some people live for chaos), who doesn't play games and is genuinely interested in finding someone that they can share their hobbies, dreams, and desires with. Or at least someone that just wants to have a good time and be real about what they're looking for. Hope to hear from you soon :)

I live downtown on Lincoln so my local 1-up is always fun, Armida's to rock out, Little India (mmmm), Red Rocks. Also just love taking random road trips (when work/school isn't killing me).
Love all sorts of music but rap and rock are what's playing 85% of the time on my radio. Any show involving competitive cooking, stupid friends, or deception and murder I'll probably watch. Love all food...except raw tomatoes (I know!!!)
I've really developed a love for film and all the work that goes into it. Other than that, the stuff everyone likes: dancing, drinking, hiking, live music, karaoke, pool, kissing, snuggling, sleeping...I think that's probably enough haha...

Psychopaths have poor sense of smell: Study
Published on Sep 20, 2012 10:50 PM
PARIS (AFP) - Psychopaths have a remarkably poor sense of smell, according to a study published on Thursday.
Researchers in Australia tested a theory that psychopathy - a severe personality disorder characterised by lack of empathy, antisocial behaviour and callousness - may be linked to impaired smell ability.
Both phenomena have been independently traced to dysfunction in part of the brain called the orbito-frontal complex (OFC).
Dr Mehmet Mahmut and Dr Richard Stevenson of the Department of Psychology at Sydney's Macquarie University trialled the olfactory skills of 79 individuals, aged 19 to 21, who had been diagnosed as non-criminal psychopaths and lived in the community.

Pain of a project!
C. from California
Putting this cabinet together was such a pain. The pre-drilled holes in the cabinet were not aligned on both sides, which meant I really had to force it together. It's not like I have a drill laying around or anything. There are small gaps in between the pieces that connect together at the edges. I'm not sure if this has any affect on the integrity of the cabinet. It probably does if I move it, but it's so heavy that I really don't even want to try and don't foresee a need to ever really move it. The inside divider pieces were mislabeled, which I did not figure out until one of the very last steps at the end of the project. This meant I had to take most of it apart and start all over again. It was a bigger pain than it was worth.

Picture: Kelsey Grammer and Faith Evangeline Elisa Grammer - Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh have lunch together at The Ivy in West Hollywood with their daughter...
Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife Camille has started the new year with a health boost - the U.S. reality Tv star has completed her treatments for endometrial cancer.
Grammer, 45, underwent a radical hysterectomy in October (13) after she was diagnosed with early-stage cancer, and she celebrated the good news about her health with followers on Twitter.com on Friday (03Jan14).
She wrote, "I rang the bell at MD Anderson Cancer Center, which marks that I have completed my Chemo and Radiation treatments. Yay."
The news comes a month after a California judge ruled that Grammer's ex-boyfriend must abide by the terms of a temporary restraining order issued against him in October (13) after her lawyers were unable to serve him with papers.
Dimitri Charalambopoulos had reportedly been evading process servers keen to present him with court documents and make the protective order, which binds him by law to stay at least 100 yards (91.44 metres) away from Camille, official. He stands accused of attacking Camille in a hotel suite after receiving an early-morning text and a phone call from a screaming woman.
Charalambopoulos allegedly grabbed the blonde's hair and pushed her head repeatedly against the bed as she cried for him to stop.
Camille divorced former Frasier star Kelsey in 2011.

I'm not sure the phrase 'Fine Art Photographer" has any positive connotations or associations anymore, if it ever did. I think that if something is truly art, it will be obvious that it really is such, and conversely, labelling something 'art' doesn't make it art.
It'd be a lot easier and less controversial just to ask the question "What is art?"

Still On Top: Greatest Hits (2007)

Song Listing
Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|STILL ON TOP: THE GREATEST HITS is a career-spanning anthology of hits by mercurial Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. Starting with two key tracks by his Rolling Stones-like 1960s band, Them--"Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night"--the set passes over Morrison's legendary 1968 album, ASTRAL WEEKS, a jazzy mood piece that works best as a whole, but otherwise cherry-picks a ton of FM radio classics. "Wild Nights," "Domino," "Moondance," and "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" are among the many highlights, presented in remastered sound.

Professional Reviews
- "Tracing the Celtic soul rocker from his beginnings as top dog among the Jagger/Davies shouters of the time with the seminal group Them to his place as top headman to bong smokers and onto becoming the best blue-eyed soul singer to ever come out of Ireland is quite a journey in and of itself."
Customer Reviews of Still On Top: Greatest Hits
smooth transaction10/18/2010
easy ordering; fast delivery
Sampling from a long and varied career11/24/2007
The aggregation of record labels into media conglomerates like Universal is turning out to be both a blessing and a curse. For an artist of Morrison's longevity, it means that a career-spanning retrospective can be assembled without the difficulties of cross-licensing. But doing so in only 21-tracks invariably short-changes important aspects of an artist's career, leaving off some hits ("Blue Money" and "Come Running," among others) and benchmark album tracks in favor of covering beginning-to-end. On yet another hand, this anthology's producer has done a nice job of selecting tracks that demonstrate the evolution of Morrison's career, and sequencing them in a very palatable flow. ¶ The collection spans Morrison's mid-60s rock with Them, an iconic string of turn-of-the-70s pop-soul hits, '80s ballads, and through to 2005's soulful "Stranded." But in the end, the limited space of a single disc, stretched across 40 years of recording, ends up serving neither Morrison the hit singles artist, nor Morrison the album artiste. In addition to the missing hits named above, key radio tracks ("Mystic Eyes," "Tupelo Honey," and "In the Mystic") were also omitted, and the holistic sense of landmark albums "Astral Weeks," "Moondance," "Tupelo Honey" and "Wavelength" is left as additional purchase. ¶ That said, what's here is magnificent, starting with the garage staple "Gloria" (a U.S. hit for Chicago's Shadows of Knight, but not for Them) and the impossibly blissful "Brown Eyed Girl." Morrison's voice transforms to a jazz instrument for "Moondance," and the trio of "Domino," "Wild Night," and "Jackie Wilson Said" are among the greatest blue-eyed soul ever committed to record. Morrison dialed it back for 1973's "Warm Love," but re-discovered his faith and backbeat for the joyous gospel-soul of 1978's "Wavelength." He continued to explore soul and jazz in the '80s, adding rootsy sounds on songs like "Tore Down ala Ribaud." ¶ The mid-80s selections show Morrison mellowed but still soulful, his husky voice providing counterpoint to smoother backings on "In the Garden" and "Someone Like You." The latter is probably best known for its appearance in 2001's "Bridget Jones's Diary, Part 2," though it was originally recorded fourteen years earlier. The string-lined 1989 love song "Have I Told You Lately" became a new Morrison signature, turning up on the soundtrack of "One Fine Day" and spawning dozens of cover versions. More blue-eyed soul followed, including the sumptuous "Days Like This," the autobiographical "The Healing Game," and the '50s R&B of "Precious Time." ¶ It's a terrific and surprisingly organic journey from Morrison's garage rock roots through his authoritative, pop, soul, jazz and R&B sides. This is a well selected anthology that could easily turn Morrison's more recent fans onto his classics, or clue early fans into his terrific body of later work. But in both cases, listeners will need to supplement the overview with deeper helpings from the original albums. Alternatively you could pick up a greatest hits collection for Them, and purpose-built anthologies of his early Bang-era material, seminal '70s work for Warner Brothers and Mercury, and the Morrison-curated anthologies of his later work "Best of Van Morrison" Vols. 2 and 3. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a truly satisfying one-stop shop – and with a catalog this sprawling and deep, there may never be. 3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.
