"Someday Baby" is a Grammy Award-winning song[1] by Bob Dylan and the fifth track on his 2006 album Modern Times.
The song peaked at #98 in Billboard's Pop 100 singles chart,[2] and was featured in a prominent iPod + iTunes commercial that appeared around the time Modern Times was released in early September 2006.
The song is based on "Trouble No More," a folk/blues song written by Muddy Waters and popularized by the Allman Brothers Band, which was in turn based on "Someday Baby Blues" by Sleepy John Estes and popularized by Big Maceo as "Worried Life Blues."
Another version of the song, featuring a different arrangement and vocal, appeared on the 2008 Dylan compilation The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 – Tell Tale Signs: Rare and Unreleased 1989–2006. This version of the song was number 37 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.[3]
An edited version of the album track was also released on a promo CD.[4]

There's good news coming out of Red Sox spring training — Mike Napoli can increase his activity. The MRI came back on Napoli's hip and the results were positive. Napoli said the condition has not worsened, which was the desired outcome of the test, according to Tom Caron of NESN. Napoli can now ramp up his activity, including taking grounders and running. The new Red Sox first baseman expects to be ready by opening day. He originally signed a three-year contract with Boston before it was discovered he had a hip condition called avascular necrosis. Napoli has said he never even noticed symptoms of the injury.

Each agency is responsible for identifying its essential staff. Federal employees who are "necessary to protect life and property" and are needed to perform an "orderly shutdown of emergency operations" are considered "essential." That includes most national intelligence staff, military personnel, air traffic controllers, law enforcement, emergency and disaster personnel, the Transportation Security Administration, Coast Guard and similar staff.
During the last full five-day shutdown in 1995, an estimated 800,000 federal employees were furloughed, according to the Congressional Research Service. A smaller figure, 284,000, were furloughed in the partial 21-day shutdown that followed soon after.
Amid contractors, who are unlikely to receive back pay, more than 20 percent were negatively impacted by the last funding lapse.
A much larger number likely will be affected this time because of the size and scope of the federal government.
Washington, D.C. Mayor Vince Gray said Tuesday that because D.C.'s federal subsidy would be affected, trash collection and pothole repair in the city could be threatened during a shutdown.
The ripple effects of a shutdown will be felt outside of the nation's capital. The U.S. Postal Service will operate as normal, since it is self-funded. Social Security, veterans and Medicare checks would continue to be disbursed, although there could be a delay in services for new registrants and those who have filed a change of address form.
Many Americans may have to hold off on their travel plans. Museums and national parks will close, as will the national zoo, and passport applications will be delayed.
Some government inspection services, such as for meat, may be delayed.
The uncertainty also could roil stock markets, rattle consumer confidence and hurt tourism, with the severity depending on how long a shutdown lasts.
The average federal government worker makes $1,404 weekly, according to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures. If 800,000 of them are furloughed and don't get a paycheck during a government shutdown, it zaps about $1.1 billion out of the economy in direct employee compensation each week.
ABC News' Barbara Garcia, Jon Karl, Dan Arnall and Jake Tapper contributed to this report.

Someone mentioned on another Disney site that Wonders of Life would reopen from November 26th thru January 1st.
Can anybody confirm or deny this? I have little reason to doubt it; Disney did the same thing last year and the pavillion is still listen as "Open Seasonally" on the Walt Disney World website.
I suspected such a thing when I posted this thread about the info on the WDW website.
I hope that WoL does open again. I have never been in the pavillion, and at least Disney opening it shows that its not dead yet.

EDITS: This new system to edit basic information is causing confusion: Click on Logged in as: your name, then click on the Edits Tab at the top and you will find suggested edits to your memorials. Please check this periodically to make sure all edits get processed.
Most of my submissions are people connected with my ancestry or my wife's ancestry. I'm trying to get everyone linked up and get Pictures and Biographies or Obituaries. Please add your PICTURES and send me OBITUARIES/BIOGRAPHIES. Sometimes I request transfers in order to do the above.
I believe everyone should have a memorial and I want to share my information and Pictures. You have my permission to anything I've posted.
Please contact me if you wish to exchange information, can add to, need to correct, or would like additional information. Please use the edit feature within the memorial to let me know of any corrections/additions to my listings so that I may make the changes.
I will gladly transfer ownership of a memorial to you if they fall within the Find A Grave guidelines, unless they are part of my own genealogical research.
To those who create memorials of people that are not related so that others may find their relatives. This is a great service you provide.
To those volunteer photographers who just like to help others, thank you for all the time you spend. Your work confirms burial locations and makes the memorial much more meaningful.

Life and Holiness is Thomas Merton's classic text on incorporating spirituality into everyday life. Merton here makes clear that he was a monk who knew the world. Of course, Merton lived a secular life until he became a Trappist monk in his late twenties, but even in the monastery he was deeply engaged in the questions of his day. In this succinct and readily accessible work, he offers compelling thoughts on what it means to be holy in the face of the anxieties of the modern age.
The Trappist monk Thomas Merton (1915-1968) remains one of the great spiritual figures of our time. He expressed his inner contemplations through his extensive written works, including poetry, letters and journals. His writings commonly deal with issues of social justice… More about Thomas Merton

With very few exceptions, benefits eligible faculty and staff who work 17.5 hours or more and paid directly by Harvard University are eligible for this benefit. New employees should allow 5-9 weeks from the start of their employment to receive their first transit order.
What information do faculty and staff need to enroll?
Faculty and staff need a Harvard ID and PIN to enroll at the online ordering system. By ordering, employees authorize Harvard to payroll deduct their portion of the cost of the order. To receive order confirmations and messages, employees must enter a valid email address.
Does Harvard subsidize transit passes?
Yes and No. Harvard offers a 50% subsidy for one monthly MBTA pass for each eligible employee. Private Transit Products are not subsidized, however by purchasing through Harvard's program, employees receive pre-tax savings. The savings will vary depending upon your tax bracket and withholdings but can be up to 30-35%.
How do faculty and staff order Transit Products and what are the ordering deadlines?
Faculty and staff with a Harvard ID and PIN can order a subsidized MBTA monthly pass and/or non-subsidized transit products at the online ordering system. The ordering deadline is the first day of the month prior to the month of use. For example, order your pass online by midnight on March 1 for April usage. The deadline for a paper order form is the 25th of the second month prior to the month of use. For example, submit your paper form by February 25th for an April pass.
As a new employee, when should I order my pass and when can I expect my first Transit Order products?
New employees should allow 5-9 weeks from the start of their employment to receive their first transit order. To expedite the process, try logging into the online ordering system as soon as possible. New employees hired through the ASPIRE interface automatically enter the payroll system as an "ineligible" pay category. The transition to a "paid" pay category normally occurs with receipt of your first paycheck. If you receive an error message at your initial login, this switch probably has not occurred. Every Thursday evening Harvard sends an eligibility file to Crosby Benefit Systems so by Friday at 3PM employees should try to login and to place their order. If unsuccessful, continue to try on consecutive Friday afternoons and again until midnight of the first of the month, as Harvard also sends an eligibility file on the last day of each month.
May I purchase BOTH Transit Products AND an annual Parking Permit at Harvard?
No. Harvard does not allow employees to purchase both Transit Products (i.e. a subsidized MBTA monthly pass and/or private transit products) and an annual parking permit. However, a subsidized MBTA monthly pass and/or private transit products may be purchased in conjunction with an EVENING COMMUTER permit, a MOTORCYCLE permit, or DAILY permits.
How do I return my parking permit to become eligible for Transit Products?
Plan early (8 to 9 weeks in advance) and email CommuterChoice or call 617-384-RIDE(7433), to walk you through the process and discuss timing and deadlines. One of the first steps will be to return your parking permit to the Campus Service Center, Smith Campus Center 8th floor (Formerly Holyoke Center).
How do I change my transit order, make changes to my account information, or drop out of the program?
Visit the online ordering system. At the Home page, modify existing order or cancel order. Click "Transit Order" from the left side menu to add additional products to your order.
How do I update my home address?
Update your home address through PeopleSoft. If you select an International address, you will automatically be disqualified from the transportation benefit system.
How and when do I pay for my Transit Products?
You must pay via pre-tax payroll deduction, which offers additional savings on your transit products in the vicinity of of 30%-35% (in addition to your 50% Harvard subsidy on MBTA monthly passes). Pre-tax savings will vary depending upon your tax bracket and withholdings and therefore will be reflected in your pay stub. Your pay stub will show the cost of your pass, including: Harvard's subsidy to the MBTA monthly pass (TRANSNTB); Employee's Pre-tax Contribution (TRANSBT); Employee's Post-tax Contribution (TRANSAT).
Deductions are taken from paychecks the month prior to use. Employees paid weekly will see deductions taken in the third check of the month and employees paid bi-weekly will see deductions taken in the second check of the month. If a single paycheck doesn't cover the full amount of the pass, the remainder is deducted in subsequent paychecks.
Is there a limit to the pre-tax Transit Product deduction?
Yes. The 2014 IRS pre-tax allowance for transit is $130/month.
What happens if my transit order is not received, or defective?
Contact Crosby Benefit Systems, 1-800-462-2235 #6 or email
What happens if I lose my pass and/or product(s) or if it is/they are stolen?
Non-received, defective, lost, or stolen Local Bus or Link Pass CharlieCard?
No paperwork necessary. Call Crosby Benefit Systems: 1-800-462-2235 #6 (Monday - Thursday, 8am - 6 pm and Friday, 8am - 5pm) or email to have a new card sent to you. A new card will be sent to your home within 1-3 business days. Your old CharlieCard will be deactivated.
Non-received or defective Commuter Rail, Boat or Private Transit Product?
Please complete the Non-Received/Incorrect Pass Affidavit. This form must be completed and received at Crosby Benefit Systems no later than the 10th of the month. This form is NOT for lost Commuter Rail, Boat or Private Transit Products, as these items cannot be replaced.
To request reimbursement for commuting expenses incurred because a product was not received or defective:
Please submit a written request by email. When submitting requests, receipts are necessary and can be mailed to CommuterChoice, 1350 Massachusetts Avenue, Smith Campus Center, Room 738 Cambridge, MA 02138 or PDF'd or emailed. Please be sure to also include: your full name, your Harvard University ID number (first four digits only), a contact phone number and whether your paycheck is direct deposited. Harvard cannot be responsible for lost or stolen transit products thus will not reimburse for out of pocket expenses. Out of pocket expenses are limited to the cost of one round trip fare per workday for a maximum of three workdays. Personal trips and weekend trips (unless work related) will not be reimbursed.
Do I qualify for Senior/TAP Pass?
Seniors 65 and older with a valid Senior ID may purchase the monthly MBTA Senior/TAP pass through Harvard's online ordering system.
Persons with disabilities having a valid TAP (Transportation Access Pass) ID may purchase the monthly MBTA Senior/TAP pass through Harvard's online ordering system.
How do I get a car insurance discount as a regular transit rider?
Many insurance companies offer up to a 10% discount on parts of your auto insurance policy when you submit proof of participation in Harvard's Transit Program for 11 of 12 months. At "Order History" from the online ordering system, click "Order History Letter" which will generate a letter with past order information which can be used as proof of participation. Be sure to contact your insurer regarding eligibility and documentation.

One of the best passages relates to the last (golden) spike, at Promontory Summit, Utah. The story is breathtaking. The reader expects the final hammering of the spike -like the whole world on May 10, 1869- from San Francisco to New York, Philadelphia, Boston and even London (via the telegraph). I will not say what happened (I do not want to run the climax of the story for the reader!)
In conclusion, I would strongly recommend the reading of "Nothing Like it In The World". Stephen E. Ambrose is at his best... and nobody can object with his conclusion that the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad is one of most important event of the American Nineteenth Century!
We all know how the story will end - the Union Pacific and Central Pacific met at Promontory Summit north of the Great Salt Lake in Utah on May 10, 1869 - but Ambrose's narrative is given an urgency by his effective use of newspaper and magazine accounts of the events which transpired in the 1860s. Ambrose acknowledges that all of his research assistants were members of his family, and they are to be commended. The technical details about the vast quantities of materials purchased and the travails involved in transporting them to where they were needed are fascinating. In addition, this book's many outstanding features includes its collection of photographs. Anyone familiar with Civil War-era photography will recognize the facial types, but I was amazed by photographs depicting engineering and construction marvels: bridges, tunnels, snow sheds, trestles cuts, and a myriad of others. The ability of the surveyors, engineers, construction foremen, and workers to overcome every type of natural obstacle during the course of construction was simply remarkable, and Ambrose's description of building the Central Pacific through the Sierra Nevada mountains is thrilling. Ambrose clearly was impressed by the enormity of the railroad builders' accomplishments, but he occasionally offers some wry humor. The Hell-on-Wheels towns which sprung up around the railroads' tracks were rough places then but sources of some amusement now. And Ambrose makes much of the delightful irony that Leland Stanford was elected governor of California in 1861 in part because he aggressively slandered Chinese immigrants as the "dregs of Asia" and "that degraded race," but, if it had not been for the efforts of thousands of Chinese laborers, the Central Pacific portion of the railroad might never have been finished. (Equivalent numbers of Irish workers performed most of the construction on the Union Pacific line from the east). According to Ambrose, many of the Chinese were less than five feet tall and weighed no more than 120 lbs., but they proved to be ideal workers: industrious, intelligent, and generally uncomplaining. When a construction foreman declares "I will not boss Chinese!", one of the Central Pacific's directors replies: "They built the Great Wall of China, didn't they?" The men who conceived, financed, designed, and built the railroad are Ambrose's real story, but this book is made additionally enjoyable by appearances, sometimes extended, sometimes cameo, by a number of the most famous men of the age, including Presidents, Lincoln, Johnson, and Grant, Brigham Young, General William T. Sherman, and Horace Greeley. There are a few instances where this book could have used more careful editing. For instance, Charles Francis Adams is first identified, incorrectly, as the "grandson of two presidents" and only later, correctly, as "grandson and great-grandson of U.S. presidents." And we probably only needed to read once that the wife of the Central Pacific construction boss accompanied her husband throughout the project, living in a passenger car from which she hung a caged canary around her entrance. But I consider these to be very minor defects.
With the possible exception of the 1780s and the 1940s, no decade in American history was more exciting than the 1860s. It included a successful resolution of the greatest crisis in American history, the Civil War, and the extension of the transportation infrastructure from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Railroad construction was the largest industry of its time, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad (and the telegraph line built alongside it) was an indispensable precursor to American greatness. By 1900, in large part as a result of its extensive system of internal transportation, the United States was the strongest economic power in the world.
Less than a week after it was released, Stephen Ambrose's Nothing Like It in the World is already well on its way to becoming a national bestseller, and its success could not be more richly well deserved. I do not remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much.

Widowed novelist, near seventy, ex-Park Avenue girl, ex-beatnik, ex-many other things too complicated to list here, loves big parties, summers at the beach, grandchildren, seeks interesting man for dinner and a movie.
Anne Roiphe was not quite seventy years old when her husband of nearly forty years unexpectedly passed away. But it was not until her daughters placed a personal ad in a literary journal that Roiphe began to consider the previously unimagined possibility of a new man. Moving between heartbreaking memories of her marriage and the pressing needs of a new day-to-day routine, Epilogue takes us on her journey into the unknown world of life after love.
Roiphe decides to reenter the dating world. But between new lunches, coffee dates, and e-mail exchanges, she wrestles with an unsettling loneliness. Recollections of marriage evoke complex, unexpected emotions on her journey through grief toward new companionship. In beautifully wrought vignettes, she recalls hailing a cab for the first time and learning to lock and unlock the front door--tasks her husband had always done.
Eloquent and astute, Epilogue tells the story of love rekindled and life remade. Roiphe offers us an elegant literary pastiche not of grief, but of hope and renewal.

- Feb. 13, 2002: Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf
SIMON MARKS: These are difficult days for President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan. He faces more opposition in Islamabad than ever before, just three years after he seized power in a bloodless coup, and less than a year after he became a pivotal U.S. ally in the war on terror. It is opposition that is not afraid to voice itself publicly.
At this, the first in a series of national rallies, the Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy, an umbrella group of opposition parties, demanded that the President step down. It is opposition that poses a sudden problem for President Musharraf who, while since the attacks of September 11, quickly turned his country from an Islamic patron of the Taliban government in neighboring Afghanistan, into one of the architects of its destruction.
PRESIDENT PEREZ MUSHARRAF: Pakistan has a firm position of principle in the international battle against terrorism. We reject terrorism in all its forms and manifestations anywhere in the world. We will continue to fulfill our responsibilities flowing from our commitments.
SIMON MARKS: And it is opposition that threatens to undercut U.S. policy in Pakistan, policy that is now heavily invested in the personality of the country's leader and his continued stewardship at the helm in Islamabad.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: President Musharraf is a leader with great courage and vision. And his nation is a key partner in the global coalition against terror. Pakistan's continuing support of "Operation: Enduring Freedom" has been critical to our success so far in toppling the Taliban and routing out the al-Qaida network.
SIMON MARKS: You can find opposition to President Musharraf almost anywhere in Pakistan today, even at a roadside barber shop in the middle of the nation's capital.
TARIQ DAAS (Translated): Before Musharraf came to power, people trusted him, but now, after three years of his rule, no one trusts him any longer.
MOHAMMED AHMED: For the people and by the people, why Musharraf is in politics? What is his role? He is talking about democracy and even he don't know the ABC's of democracy.
SIMON MARKS: Do you think more and more people are beginning to feel like you feel?
MOHAMMED AHMED: I think the people who are jobless, the people who are illiterate, the people who are poor, the people who are searching for food, the people who have no shelter, they are totally against Musharraf's policies.
SIMON MARKS: The general who ousted the country's elected prime minister in October, 1999, maintains that he enjoys public support and even a mandate to govern Pakistan. In a referendum this past May, 97 percent of the votes cast supported his call for a further five years as President. His opponents insist the ballot was rigged.
Now President Musharraf has called fresh elections this October to choose a new parliament. He is also seeking public support for a package of constitutional amendments that he says will encourage real democracy to emerge here.
Last month he told a national television audience that he wants to make the post of prime minister the most powerful in the nation, not the post of President that he occupies.
PRESIDENT PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Give power to the prime minister of Pakistan. (Translated:) I am not power hungry. I do not want power, but I want to give strength to the government. I will transfer all executive powers to the prime minister after the October election.
SIMON MARKS: But democracy activists say general Musharraf is power hungry and seeks to disbar many veteran politicians from public service. While the President's image graces the campaign posters of parliamentary candidates loyal to him, a number of leading Pakistani politicians find themselves suddenly prevented from running for office.
GOHAR AYOUB KHAN: I can't– I'm disqualified.
SIMON MARKS: Gohar Ayoub Khan is a leading member of the Pakistani opposition, but he never graduated from college, and general Musharraf says only college graduates should be allowed to run for election.
GOHAR AYOUB KHAN: I was speaker of the national assembly conducting the business and making rules and procedure, and leader of the parliament opposition of Pakistan, and today– like the founder of Pakistan, who will not be allowed to contest– I am not allowed to contest.
SIMON MARKS: Neither would the country's two most popular politicians, former Prime Ministers Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto. Both live in exile overseas and run the risk of immediate arrest on criminal charges if they return to Pakistan. On many of the country's editorial pages, the President's proposals are getting the thumbs down. Mohammed Ziauddin edits the influential national daily, Dawn.
MOHAMMED ZIAUDDIN: If you go to what the men proposed, and the kind of referendum he had in the month of April, one comes to the conclusion that he does not want to give up power. He wants to keep all the power in his hands after an elected parliament is put in place.
SIMON MARKS: That, according to many observers here, may be difficult. They argue that free and fair elections would deliver a parliament full of the President's opponents. General Musharraf doesn't just face opposition from those political forces here seeking a return to democracy, he's also under fire from a variety of other causes from figures who don't seek political liberalism for Pakistan, but who still don't like what he has been doing here.
In this deeply Islamic country, the general now finds himself opposed by a significant body of Muslim opinion. Earlier this year, he ordered the country's 10,000 religious schools, the madrassahs, to undergo voluntary registration and regulation.
The U.S. is concerned that these schools, with their intense– sometimes exclusive– focus on the study of the Koran, are producing a generation of Pakistanis ill-equipped to deal with the modern, secular world. The clerics who run the madrassahs were outraged by the President's demands, and today these schools are a haven of anti-Musharraf criticism.
RASHID KHAZI: It is just because of the American pressure. America is, in fact, pressurizing the government of Pakistan unnecessarily, and the government of Pakistan, you know, they have bowed and they have surrendered before the American pressure.
SIMON MARKS: Rashid Khazi runs the Jamia Faridia Madrassah in Islamabad, one of the country's largest. He says the school teaches a broad curriculum that includes math, science, and English. He argues that by taking on the madrassahs, President Musharraf has bitten off more than he can chew.
RASHID KHAZI: In my opinion, it's unwise of him that he has opened many fronts. At the same time, maybe he has some pressure or whatever. He might have his own logic behind that, but it's true that he is stepping in a lot of trouble.
SIMON MARKS: Trouble, too, from other elements here that find Pakistan's new relationship with the United States beyond the pale. Hamid Goul is a former head of Pakistan's all-powerful ISI, the Intraservices Intelligence Agency. He's credited with training the anti-soviet Mujahaddin forces in Afghanistan that went on to become the Taliban and he is witheringly critical of the U.S. war against them and the ongoing U.S. military presence in Pakistan aimed at hunting down members of al-Qaida.
HAMID GUL: Ninety-five percent of the people of Pakistan, according to CNN surveys, hate America now because of what America has done and what America is doing: The FBI milling around, midnight knocks at doors, and under the pretext of hunting for al-Qaida, they are doing all sorts of things. They are hurting Pakistan's national pride, our sovereignty, our dignity– or whatever we have– and we haven't got anything in return.
SIMON MARKS: Not even sufficient economic assistance, says General Gul, who accuses the U.S. of failing to help alleviate poverty in this deeply impoverished nation. He points to Pakistan's textile industry as an example. It's the backbone of the country's economy, accounting for 30 percent of exports, yet trade barriers still prevent Pakistan from shipping fabrics to the United States, despite the assistance the country has given Washington over the past year. Critics accuse General Musharraf of giving the Bush Administration everything that it wants and getting nothing in return.
HAMID GUL: It is good for them to have a person that enjoys all the authority, he has control over the army, he has control over the parliament, and he sits on top of the National Security Council. There it is with one man. So concentration of power in one hand, it is not Pakistani nation's desire, it is not their needs, it is the need of somebody else. That is, precisely, America.
SIMON MARKS: With opposition to his rule growing and a handful of plots to assassinate him foiled, President Musharraf faces a difficult period between now and the October elections. Some voices here say the United States should prepare itself for a day when a different leader is in charge in Pakistan.
GOHAR AYOUG KHAN: Politically, he will survive. All military generals who help us do, in turn, survive because the political mechanism is not there for their removal. But it's a large country with 140 million people. We can't peg our stakes and destiny to one man. There are thousands and thousands better than maybe General Musharraf to take the mantle, et cetera. It's just that the West is now dealing with him. Dozens and dozens more may be better.
SIMON MARKS: On the outskirts of Islamabad, there's a memorial lionizing Pakistan's 1998 nuclear tests. For now, none of President Musharraf's detractors expect anyone else to be controlling the country's nuclear arsenal anytime soon, but they warn that the United States should brace itself for eventual political change in Pakistan, a country that has already shown its former Taliban allies in Afghanistan that it can switch direction rapidly, and with very little warning.
GWEN IFILL: Today, a group of the President's supporters formed an alliance to compete against his detractors in the October elections.

Easiest way to catch my attention is with a smile and a positive attitude. I like people that can have fun in any situation, or at least make the best of it. That is what I try to do, and teach my son to do as well. I want someone active that takes care of their health, and if she's a little nerdy and has super hero knowledge, all the better...LOL.

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I'm very eclectic. I like most music, and most movies. I really just like to be entertained genre isn't always important.
For fun, I love to run, play with my son, perform as a professional wrestling referee.

A. Obata "ginghamtree" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
This album captures the triumphant exuberance of childhood in a way that few other children's albums do. Songs such as "Fibber Island" and "Robot Parade" encourage children to exercise imagination and creativity. In "Bed, Bed, Bed," watching TV is but one of many activities in a full day that includes meeting friends, riding bikes, and playing the guitar. Even better, some of the songs are educational ("Where Do They Make Balloons?", "The Edison Museum") with the spirit of play, not lectures. But best of all, the songs have both simplicity and sophistication to their goofiness to appeal to children and older listeners alike. "Violin" and "John Lee Superstar" are good examples of this.
This album contains no bad language, violence, or encouragement of such, so most parents would not object to the material in this album. While some of the songs ("I Am Not Your Broom") may be interpreted as encouraging rebellion in children, I do not feel they are any more subversive than say, the poetry of Shel Silverstein.
The whimsical interactive sequences mostly require only that you run your mouse over the images, so children who can't click the buttons can still enjoy them. My one-year-old nephew insisted on going to listen to the CD on the computer first thing in the morning for quite a while. I also bought this album for my TMBG fan friends who were soon to be parents, and they were delighted.
4.0 out of 5 stars Even for a kids album- It's great!,
DominEl "Spudboy" (Livermore, CA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
This is a great TMBG album. There are only a few songs I don't totally like, but it's still worth the money.
Fibber Island: Very TMBG like in lyrics, a little more mellow than most of their songs.
Four of two: A typical TMBG song, just a little kiddish in the lyrics
Robot Parade: Disco sounding, with a robotic voice and a catchy tune
No: The title track is one of my least favorite songs on here.
It is hard rock kind of, and is really repetitive.
Where do they make balloons:Sung by one of the Dan's, this song is a caatchy mellow tune
In The Middle:This is remake of a PSA jingle. I like it, sung by Robin "Goldie" Goldwasser.
Violin: repetitive but nice
John Lee Supertaster:Good, more TMBG-ish
The Edison Museum:Boring
The House At The Top Of The Tree: Repetitive, yet strangely addictive
Clap Your Hands: Yet ANOTHER repetitive track, this was featured on a gp kids commercial. I don't like it.
I am Not Your Broom: This one's weird, no instruments, but it's good.
Wake Up Call: Repetitive, but nice
I am a Grocery Bag: Short, good song
Lazyhead/bed, bed, bed/Sleepwalkers:Bedtime songs, all nice, fun songs.
Plus, the enhanced CD featurs are top-notch, and the credits have a catchy bonus song!
So, overall, a good cd, but not their best

I've been listening to the Giants for about 13 years now, loving many of their songs, feeling indifferent to some, and disliking just a few. I have always appreciated their humor and wit and felt their music already had a child-like quality with adult sophistication and musical savvy. This CD is very cute, perhaps for a VERY young child (under 4 maybe?), but I've already had my daughter appreciating songs like "Doctor Worm", "Don't Let's Start", and "Birdhouse In Your Soul" since she was quite young - songs which can already cater to adults and childeren simply because of the catchiness and quirkiness. Songs like these I'd rather expose my daughter to then most of the songs on "No!" simply because their other CDs contain much more interesting content. I don't think kids need things spelled out for them - I think it is much more interesting to let them go ahead and have a unique interpretation of things, which I have done, myself, through the years listening to They Might Be Giants.
4.0 out of 5 stars For diehard TMBG fans ... and ANYONE who has children,
Gena Chereck (Nebraska, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
Over the years, They Might Be Giants have sung about death, substance abuse, marital breakdown, insanity, paranoia, senility, paralysis, isolation and general disappointment. In that sense, their 2002 children's album NO! is a bit of a departure; musically, though, it's as hooky and weird as ever.
Singer-keyboardist John Linnell -- who has a young son -- dominates this project with an unself-conscious gusto that has clearly inspired everyone else involved. "Four of Two" is a comical, polka-flavored rocker about a guy who doesn't realize that the clock has stopped, misses his date, and awakens to a future of "flying cars and gigantic metal bugs." In the rousing title cut and "Bed Bed Bed," Linnell clearly remembers what it's like to be a kid; in the latter, he marvels over the full day he has had before he goes to sleep ("I've had my fun ... there's nothing left to do"), and in the former, he has fun with the most mundane aspects of parent-child antagonism ("'May I stay, can I go' -- 'no no no' ... 'Sit, stay, roll over' -- 'no no no'"). "The House at the Top of the Tree" is a gentle pop tune structured after "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly," albeit with an even more absurd premise (a mouse threatening to eat a house unless a dog brings him some potato chips?). In the a-cappella "I Am Not Your Broom," about a broom rebelling against its owner/master, he performs both sides of the argument, as he does in "No!" ("'What nonsense are you speaking, broom?' ... 'I'm throwing off my chains of servitude'"). The 30-second "I Am a Grocery Bag" could be an epilogue to 1990's "Dead"; dropping all refs to reincarnation, expiration dates and having been a jerk in his previous life, the narrator simply ponders his current physical state! In "Violin," Linnell lingers over words like "hippo," "mop," and "speck of dust" in various goofy voices before lapsing into a brief lesson in fractions centered around George Washington's head (don't ask). The best of the lot has to be "Sleepwalkers," a lovely mid-tempo number that sonically recalls 1996's "Your Own Worst Enemy" and 2001's "My Man," only with a complete lack of heavy themes.
Linnell's singer-guitarist bandmate John Flansburgh brings a surprising amount of sympathy and enthusiasm to this project, considering that he and his wife, singer Robin Goldwasser, have no children. "Fibber Island," with its folkish arrangement, its surreal lyrics, and a hilarious cameo (or two) by Linnell, is very similar in feel to 1988's "Cowtown"; but instead of obscure lyrics about a cow under the sea, Flansy performs a paean to the joys of making stuff up ("To get to Fibber Island, you just close your eyes, start fibbing in your mind, and see what you can find"). "John Lee Supertaster" is a funky, bluesy rocker about the joys, and peeves, of having a heightened sense of taste ("Can't drink coffee or beer ... he loves ice cream and pie"). Clap Your Hands" is little more than kid-friendly disco, with calls to "jump in the air" and "stomp your feet" instead of "do the Hustle" or "shake your booty." I know that many people vastly prefer the heavy-metal "adult version" of "Robot Parade" (originally released as an EP B-side, also available on 2002's Dial-A-Song anthology), but I still think the new, dreamier arrangement here is better suited to the futuristic-fantasy lyrics. The sweet-voiced Flansburgh also handles the disc's token lullaby, "Lazyhead and Sleepybones," in which he has fun with synonyms ("When Lazyhead says the window is closed, Sleepybones says it's shut ... And even though they should be friends, they can't get along"). It's a beauty, and possibly my second-favorite track.
Goldwasser herself guests on a cover of "In the Middle," a traffic-safety jingle the Johns remembered from their youth; it could easily have been the most indulgent track (with the sort of instructional lyrics that the Johns tried to avoid in their own compositions), but Robin's sweet delivery makes it go down easier. Nicholas Hill (who sang "I hear the wind blow..." on 1992's "Fingertips") guests on the educational and delightfully silly "Edison Museum" ("the tallest, widest, and most famous haunted mansion in New Jersey"). And Danny Weinkauf, the bassist from the great "band of Dans," is a pleasant surprise as co-writer and lead singer on "Where Do They Make Balloons?", delivering lines like "New York has tall buildings, New Jersey has its malls / Pisa has a leaning tower -- will it ever fall?" in a warm rasp over a gently catchy Beatle-esque melody. (Only "Wake Up Call," a funky little number with lyrics so minimal it should've been an instrumental, is utterly skippable.)
Bottom line: There's nothing to pick apart here, just a fun pop record that parents can enjoy with their kids, and that diehard TMBG fans may appreciate both as a change of pace and for its familiarity. If you're just getting into the Johns, and you DON'T know anyone who has children, NO! should be one of the last TMBG albums you get.
4.0 out of 5 stars The SpongeBob Squarepants of Music CDs!,
Devin DiMattia "dimattiafilms.com" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
I compare "No!" to SpongeBob because like the show, this disc is irreverent and uncoordinated, yet it is weirdly brilliant. I purchased this for my younger brother after he got hooked on my copy of "Dial-A-Song: 20 Years of They Might Be Giants".
They Might Be Giants are well-known for taking utterly out-there ideas and running with them and "No!" makes a perfect breeding ground for them. They all have humorous ideas and most have equally entertaining CD-ROM games. My favorite song on here is the brilliant "Where Do They Make Balloons?" sung by Danny Weinkauf, one of the Band of Dans. Also worth mentioning is that Robin Goldwasser (who sung "Dr. Evil" from Austin Powers 2) returns for "In the Middle, In the Middle, In the Middle". Of course, the two Johns handle things nicely on the rest of the album, paying homage to the old lady who swallowed a fly on "The House at the Top of the Tree", their disobedient sweeper in "I Am Not Your Broom" and that wonderful word "No!". All in all, another keeper from the pair of Johns and the band of Dans.
4.0 out of 5 stars Really a parody of children's music... but wonderful!,
Eric Endres (Richland, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
I'm slowly getting into performing and writing some children's music myself, and so I've been going to every library in my area and devouring the various children's music albums there. Some good stuff- especially Trout Fishing in America, Jack Prelutsky, and even some Raffi... but a lot of it is really stupid and trite and somewhat condescending to kids. I was thrilled to find No! at one library. I've been a TMBG fan through the years, and was already planning to incorporate songs like "Why Does the Sun Shine?" into my kids' music setlist, but I hadn't really kept up on them enough to know that they had released a 'children's music album'.
Once I heard it, though, I had to really question that label, because what I hear in the album (which I love, by the way) is really more of a very clever and wry parody of children's music than actual children's music, although I've no doubt that children like it for what it is. If you've actually listened to a lot of children's music, particularly in a wide and heavy dose like I have lately, you'll know what I mean. Rather than being totally genuine about it, as many reviews of the album that I've read seem to think, I highly suspect that TMBG firmly had their tongues in their cheeks and were cackling subversively as they made this record. Lazyhead and Sleepybones, for example, is a sly twist on the common idea of many kids' songs that sing about opposites. Where Do They Make Balloons? is a parody of wordplay songs. Fibber Island pokes fun at the many absurdist kids' songs. The Edison Museum is a brilliant and hilarious parody of 'spooky' songs. Clap Your Hands ribs the absolute dearth of children's songs where they're told to clap along, jump up and down, etc. And on and on...
I suppose that perhaps, if they did really intend it for children, that the songs just came out that way and because they were aimed at children, they tend to fall into some of those usual kids' song categories, but it really seems intentionally parody-like to me, and more intended to poke fun at the 'form'. But regardless, it still works on the different levels, and is probably enjoyed very much by kids nonetheless, which is why it really seems brilliant to me. Kind of along the lines of Zappa's "We're Only in it For the Money", which was a sly parody of the "Sgt. Pepper" album, and yet worked very well on its own.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Necessary,
By A Customer
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
I really wish record stores would stick this in the children's section where it belongs, so it may warp more young minds for the better! Instead, it often gets thrown in the adult sections with all their other work. Regardless, NO! is THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS most exciting, catchy and cohesive album since John Henry hit the shelves in 1994. It may be a children's album, and it may contain a cover of the old Department of Transportation tune about crossing the street correctly, but for the most part it features their most interesting subject matter and hilarious asides in quite some time. "I AM NOT YOUR BROOM" fits right alongside the classic "Spider", as far as I'm concerned, and "Bed Bed Bed" is one of John Linnel's most infectious melodies. "Robot Parade" is just the kind of youth-oriented revolution anthem this generation needs, and "Four of Two", aside from being a fantastic sing-along, confirms the important notion that indeed the future will hold gigantic metal bugs! If you have children, you need to expose them to this. If you don't, and you have the tiniest soft spot for the Giants, you should really try and expose it to yourself.
5.0 out of 5 stars They never stop innovating.,
R DeCaire (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
Even though I'm a long-time TMBG fan, it still startles me when their songs get radio play. So you can imagine how startled I was when I was listening to the CBC and Sook-Yin Lee was on DNTO doing her thing, and she puts on The House at The Top of The Tree. My delight started at glowing and only increased as each recursive verse played, and I was fondly reminded of all those round-about songs that they taught me when I was but a wee lad. Needless to say, I bought it, played it, and was overcome with mirth by the sheer quality of every track. There is no dead weight on this album. Every song is a gem that your kids will love to sing and dance to. I've given a copy to every one of my friends with children, and they love it. To buy this album is to buy your children a future of happy memories!
This is an album both for longime fans of the Giants, and for new fans of a younger generation. The interactive CD software by the Chopping Block is faboo, and I'm still not tired of trying to set the clocks to rooster time...
4.0 out of 5 stars Just Buy It,
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
Is it for kids? About as much as most They Might Be Giants albums are for kids; in other words, "YES Mostly!" it's for kids. TMBG speaks to the child in each of us. No! is no exception.
If you like They Might Be Giants, you're probably going to buy the album anyway. If you don't, you won't. That's pretty much how it goes with this band.
Of course, the lyrics are at their usual quality, both clever and fun. The music is more childlike to fit the album's theme. Most notably, the album is interactive. While the music plays, you get to play little click-picture games. They're not big games, but they're still amusing. I had a good hour (and more) of fun with the CD ROM segment of the disc.
If you want something interesting to listen to, No! won't disappoint you. TMBG albums take getting used to, even for a seasoned fan like me. They are a progressive band. But before you know it, you'll be humming along, then learning the lyrics, then singing along...and after a while you'll be bothering your coworkers by singing out loud.
I gave this album 4 stars. Its fun, it's unique, it's invaluable for fans and parents. But on a TMBG level, it gets only three stars. I have high standards. It's somewhere between good and average for them.
Still, though...BUY IT.
2.0 out of 5 stars Is it a must-have?,
Lavode (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No! (Audio CD)
I'm a long-time fan, having gotten hooked by Lincoln in 1989. I am not the type of fan that thinks everything TMBG produces is gold, and I find that every other album has two songs that I'm not particularly fond of, and two songs that I outright skip to avoid listening to. (Be honest, how often do you find yourself "singing along" to #13 off of Misc. T?)
This album has hit an all time low for me by having an equal number of songs I love, songs I hate, and ones I think are just bland. Here's how the disc stacked up for me:
Fibber Island: Reminiscent of the country-inspired novelty songs on They Might Be Giants. This has backing vocals that could easily be found on a Weird Al Yankovic album. It definitely has a home amongst the stranger songs. :|
Four of Two: A revamped Dial-A-Song tune that has been changed to make it appropriate for younger listeners, and sped up. I prefer the "original," without the tempo changes and keeping the morbid subject nature. :(
Robot Parade: Another Dial-A-Song entry, with good instrumentation and goofy vocal effects on one of the voices. :|
No!: Good TMBG rock, with Linnel's typical vocals, and some of the standard strangeness make this the most listenable so far. :)
Where Do They Make Balloons?: Sort of inspired by Chicago or the Beach Boys in style, with a different lead singer (Danny Weinkauf). This is one of the stronger songs out of all of the tracks. :)
In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle: Reminds me of the 45's I listened to in the early 70's (when I was in pre-school). Part of the refrain is straight out of the Muppet Show Theme. :|
Violin: A nonsensical novelty tune, which relies on repeating things over an over. Another that would probably tickle the kids, but is easily skippable. :(
John Lee Supertaster: Funk and Groove similar to S-E-X-X-Y, with sort of a superhero take. Seems to me like a combination of S-E-X-X-Y and Spider, both of which I always skip. :(
The Edison Museum: This is exactly the same as the cut from Long Tall Weekend (available online only), with slightly better fidelity. :|
The House at the Top of the Tree: Carnival music similar to what you find on State Songs. The style of song that repeats the same refrain, each time adding something to the list (sort of like the 12 Days of Christmas). If you like State Songs, you'll like this. (I did.) :)
Clap Your Hands: More 70's Funk, which I'm not partial to. :(
I am Not Your Broom: Short novelty song sung with minimal instrumentation, about a rebellious broom and its owner. :(
Wake Up Call: An instrumental piece with some sampled voice being used as instruments. Not bad at all. :|
I Am A Grocery Bag: Monotone vocals, very short (mercifully short), with an odd instrumentation. :(
Lazyhead and Sleepybones: Mellow rock, reminiscent of Red Elvises. Great instrumentation, the typical vocals for TMBG, and the whole thing works very well. :)
Bed Bed Bed: Reminds me of Whistling in the Dark, crossed with the wild brass interludes from They Might Be Giants (both songs from Flood). This is the kind of tune that can really grow on you, and I find myself liking it more and more each time. :)
Sleepwalkers: Possibly some copyright protection on this track? Every computer I try it in will not rip the song to the hard drive. Xylophones with Bass Clarinet, and Linnel's vocals. Reminds me of the great stuff from Lincoln. Midway through the instrumentation turns to more rock-oriented. A nice way to close the album. :)
Chopping Block Testimonial: Heard this one when I was subscribed to the TMBG Unlimited club. Not bad. :|
The Enhanced CD features are fun, and should be especially popluar with kids.
Overall, I am pretty disappointed in the album, It will stay in my collection, but I am looking forward to their next release to bring them back to what I've grown to love about them: Lots of fun with the occasional dead spot.

It looks like the Red Sox farm system is getting a bad rap these days, as Keith Law at ESPN has them ranked 17th out of 30 teams: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8902178/st-louis-cardinals-lead-keith-law-ranking-all-30-farm-systems-mlb I don't think Law knows what he is talking about. I think the talent in Boston's farm right now is as great as it was in the heydey of 2005. If you look at the number of players that made it big from 2005, what we have on the farm today is as good as it was back then. In 2005 I went to Fenway Park to meet with three members of the Red Sox baseball operations: Jed Hoyer, Josh Byrnes, and Craig Shipley.

Ike Davis connected twice and reached a career-high 30 homers, Jenrry Mejia pitched five effective innings for his first major league win and the New York Mets beat the plummeting Pittsburgh Pirates 6-2 Monday night for their fourth straight victory. Davis had a career-best five RBIs and David Wright had a run-scoring single to move within two hits of tying Ed Kranepool's franchise record of 1,418 hits. The Pirates lost for the 31st time in 43 games since improving to a season-high 16 games above .500 (63-47) on Aug. 8. They started the day 6 1/2 games back in the wild-card race with several teams ahead of them, and now need to win six of their last nine just to finish at break even. Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen went 1 for 3 with a triple to keep his batting average at .336 - behind only Melky Cabrera, who is at .346 but has removed himself from consideration. Davis' homer to left-center off Kyle McPherson (0-2) in the fourth came after Wright walked. Davis hit a three-run shot...
