I'm planning my first 3 day trip for Memorial Day weekend. As always, I check all my equipment about a week before. Kind of gets me wound up!
I found something in my bag I took on last year's ride (Lewis and Clark Trail) across Missouri. A voltage line tester. It's the little thing that costs about $1 that you plug into an outlet to see if there is power. The one I have only has a small light if the outlet is powered.
I brought it because I like to ride at night and I always take my headlight battery charger with me. I also take my cell phone and charger if I plan to be away for more than 3 days.
I found several parks that have outlets for lamps, radios, etc that are still powered. My headlight battery charger only draws about 1/2 amp and I can get some charge while I fix lunch or dinner. For a small thing, it came in real handy.

I am disappointed that we won't see the Original ship on the big screen...ever, it looks like.
Actually, we did, with the theatrical presentation of "The Menagerie" a couple months ago. And despite what we've been told, I think it held up pretty well on the big screen. Not to say it couldn't have been improved with a bit of TLC, but it certainly didn't need wholesale remodeling in order to make the grade.
Mariner Class said:
Let me set my feelings on this straight:
I would
accept a carbon copy of the 1701 from the original show for this movie, at least not as the ship that Kirk first encounters. It as if the new 2008 Camaro was just a rebadged 1969 Camaro RS (which I personally would have preferred, but even I would call that lazy.)
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this - and I'm famous for my automotive analogies
. Why
Kirk first encounter a carbon copy - or at least a ship that is clearly the original ship and not simply based upon its silhouette? When we talk about automotive analogies, I'd go with the new Dodge Challenger more than the Camaro - the 2008 has nearly every line of the 1970 original in evidence, and yet not one single line is common between the two cars; they've managed to make a clean, modern car without abandoning what made the original a classic, retaining the details in spirit even though they don't actually match the original blueprints. This is what I love about
's latest model of
: it's clearly the
ship, not the motion picture version, not a BSG version, nor anything else, even though it probably doesn't share a single line or contour with the TV model.
The new 2008 Camaro is a TMP
, and from what I see in this one shot of the 2008
, it is, too. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing - the TMP ENT was my favorite version of the Gray Lady until last week. But I disagree with any assertion that the real, original design of the ship is somehow implausible in this day and age and on the big screen; it just needs a
tweaking, not reimagining.

Tarkenton really told the truth about Favre and I agree with everything except where Tarkenton says he wants Favre to fail. I don't want Favre to fail. Tarkenton said this:
I think he has been a great flamboyant quarterback, but he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I've ever seen," Tarkenton said.
Then, in trying to disparage Favre for the way he played in the NFC title-game loss to the Giants after the 2007 season, he brought down Manning, too. "He blew that game against the Giants," Tarkenton said. "He's playing against Eli Manning. I love Eli Manning, but he's still not a great quarterback. He's not Peyton yet, or Tom Brady. He's just a guy. And (the Packers) are playing at home, and they're in a tight situation, they went to overtime and (Favre) throws the interception that allows (the Giants) to come back and win the game."
Tarkenton said Favre has "done that and driven his coaches crazy all of his career."
Tarkenton is right that Eli Manning is just a guy and he's right about Favre throwing the ball up hoping something will happen and he's done that his entire career. It makes me feel good to hear someone tell the truth about Favre, however, I want Favre to play until he really wants to retire and I don't want him to fail but I want him to be judged just like Vince Young,Jay Cutler,Chad Pennington and others are judged. I mentioned those guys because each one of them has faced some criticism about their play on the field. Jay Cutler has been called a crybaby and Vince Young has been called inaccurate and Chad Pennington has been called a noodle-armed qb. Eli is still a liability because they had enough talent last year to beat the Eagles but for the qb position. I say go Fran,go.

Over the past couple of years, Rent the Runway has served as an easy way to wear straight-off-the-catwalk designer pieces without committing to their four-figure price tags. Now, the high-end rental site is getting even more exclusive with its first-ever designer collaboration. The partner? Narciso Rodriguez.
Rodriguez has dressed countless A-listers since launching his label in 1997, finding particular favor with women who love classic, streamlined looks (including Michelle Obama and Claire Danes). To create a four-piece capsule collection for Rent the Runway, the designer delved into his archives. The Cut Out gown, available in both red and blue, is reminiscent of the dress worn by Jennifer Aniston on her 2008 Vogue cover. And both the Tailor Made gown and Ivory Contrast dress, with their two-tone black-and-white palettes, recall a look once worn by Kate Winslet.
Narciso's dresses will set you back thousands of dollars each, but his Cut Out gown for Rent the Runway can yours—for four days—for $400. Meanwhile, the Tailor Made gown rents for $350 and the Ivory Contrast style for just $275. If you've got a big-ticket event ahead, we can't imagine a better way to boost your confidence than by channeling the sexiest woman in Hollywood. Click here to get renting.

Faithful swamp Vatican office with mail for Pope Francis
Most of the 6,000 weekly letters seek comfort or prayers
(Photo by Reuters/Stephano Rellandini)
- Philip Pullella for Reuters, Vatican City
- Vatican City
- February 3, 2014
He's nowhere near Santa Claus yet, but Pope Francis gets so much mail that the tiny office that deals with it is swamped and working overtime.
"Mostly, they are requests for comfort or prayers," Monsignor Giuliano Gallorini, the head of the office, told Vatican Television (CTV).
The office gets about 30 sacks, or about 6,000 letters a week, which would make a yearly total of more than 300,000. The U.S. Postal Service says it gets millions of letters addressed to Santa Claus each year.
Gallorini and a staff of three women, including one nun, work in a small, cramped room where cardboard boxes labeled by language are strewn on the floor and on desks.
"They are signs of the difficult times in which we live. Many of them are about difficulties, above all illnesses. They ask for prayers for illnesses. They describe their difficult economic situations," Gallorini said.
The most urgent and personal letters are passed to the pope's two private priest-secretaries to give to him. "These are the ones that are a little more delicate, that have to do with questions of conscience," Gallorini said.

Reviews of Hoyts Cinemas
UP FRONT PLUMBING. Area Expert 68 reviewsWe have been to this cinema many times, and never had a problem, The seats are comfy its always clean, the staff are friendly and the information on the screens are helpful
Graeme Goo 1 reviewThe sound and visual quality of the cinema was great and the seats were comfy. It was also quite clean and the ushers were good. That's the good bit.
Unfortunately, the aircon was ridiculously cold when it's 30 outside.
The price of movies in the Sydney region and candy bar is excessive by comparison to Newcastle so much so it probably would have been cheaper to drive ro Newcastle and watch the same movie.
After visiting this cinema over the weekend i am TRUELY impressed with the improvements made. Penrith Westfield is quickly growing into one of the premier shopping destinations in Sydney and i am blown away by the quality of this area now, i'm so proud and happy to live here. Staff seem to have really shaped up and are working hard, cinema is always clean, lines are moving quick and i couldnt be happier. Well done to management for the improvements! keep up the great work.
Staff are pretty rude and you feel like they don't want to be working behind the counter but other than that no problems, always very clean and well maintained cinema with a great choice, saturdays the line is almost out the door but every other day there is no problem. :)
I've been to this cinema a number of times and I've never had a problem. The staff are always friendly and fast with their work, the movie information on the screens is helpful when you are indecisive and there is almost NEVER a line to the counter. All in all I really enjoy coming to this cinema and is always my first choice.
sarzee2710 5 reviewsA great cinema, always a lot of movies, in plenty of cinemas, also clean and neat, smells good, never a real long wait, the information now on the screen is so helpful - eg how many seats are left for that movie at that time, all so very helpful. Friendly staff, most are young, but very friendly.

Your host, poet Lety Ricárdez, lets you know immediately that this mansion in the center of town, furnished with a memorable collection of objets d'art, is "your home." Pass through a wrought-iron gate to reach two of the suites, then climb a twisting stone staircase to find the other two. Ask for the Bella Epoca suite, where everything seems to come in threes: three rooms with three sets of French doors that lead to three balconies—there are even three crystal chandeliers. The bath has a deep whirlpool tub and towels tied with silk ribbon. The rooftop dining room and café has views of all the city's landmarks.

I grow this indoors at my office in Minneapolis. I purchased it online at blackjungle.com .I've had it for almost 2 years and it's on it's 5th leaf, never having more than 3 at a time. It seems healthy. I water it once or twice a week. I wonder if it just a slow grower indoors, or if it will suddenly grow more after a bit more time.

Details of Bayside and the Ticket Luck value
Bayside is an American rock band formed in 2000. They are currently signed to Victory Records from Bayside, Queens, New York. The band has released three full length albums.
They came up with their name when driving around the Bayside train station and thought it was a good idea. Since the band's inception on Long Island, Bayside has become the voice for the misanthropic and the hopeful alike.
Having released four studio albums with Victory Records since signing on in 2003, Bayside has sold over a quarter-of-a-million records, making it one of the most likable bands in the industry.
They self released a 5 song demo and signed to Dying Wish Records, who issued their first release, Long Stories Short EP, in 2001.
Having released four studio albums with Victory Records, Bayside has sold over a quarter-of-a-million records, becoming one of the most likable bands in the industry.
Bayside released a split with Name Taken in 2003 on the same label. The band then signed to much bigger Victory Records. The Sirens and Condolences was released in early 2004 on the same label.
The album was followed by Bayside's self-titled release in 2005. Following the death of their drummer John Holohan, the group issued the appropriately titled Acoustic. Acoustic featured a tribute to Holohan and renditions of some of their songs.
Bayside released their third full length album, entitled 'The Walking Wounded' on February 6, 2007. The Walking Wounded spawned its first single 'Duality'. The track was made available for download on iTunes.
The album debuted at number 75 on the U.S. Billboard 200 in mid-February, selling over 13,000 copies. Bayside re-issued The Walking Wounded on July 22nd. Like their previous studio record, this album too was produced by Shep Goodman and Kenny Gioia.
Bayside recently released their fourth full length studio album, entitled 'Shudder'. Singer/guitarist Anthony Raneri, in an interview said that the new album has more of a punk sound with more energetic songs.
David Schiffman, known for his work with Grammy Award winning music producer Rick Rubin, is a producer of Shudder. On September 5th, 2008, the album leaked onto the internet.
In addition to producing music, Bayside has made many other references as well. They made references to the 1984 feature film 'The NeverEnding Story' in their song titles.
The band is currently involved with the non-profit organization To Write Love On Her Arms. Drummer Chris Guglielmo wore one of TWLOHA's shirts for the band's February 22, 2007 performance on Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
Long Stories Short is an EP released in 2003. The song 'Just Enough To Love You' was re-recorded on the band's 2004 release Sirens and Condolences. Bayside is the self-titled second album by the group from Victory Records.
Live at the Social Club is the live album from them which was released on the same day along with their album Shudder. It featured songs from Baysides' three albums Sirens and Condolences, their self-titled album, and The Walking Wounded.

Public speaker en
A public speaker is a person who makes speeches in public settings. A speaker may address a large assembly of people or small gatherings. For large assemblies, the speaker will usually speak with the aid of a public address system or microphone and loudspeaker. The objectives of a public speaker's presentation can range from simply transmitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story. Professional public speakers often engage in ongoing training and education to refine their craft. This may include seeking guidance to improve their speaking skills—such as learning better storytelling techniques, for example, or learning how to effectively use humor as a communication tool—as well as continuous research in their topic area of focus. People who speak publicly in a professional capacity are paid a speaking fee. Professional public speakers may include ex-politicians, sports stars and other public figures. In the case of high profile personalities, the sum can be extraordinary. An after dinner speaker is a person who makes a public speech after a formal dinner. Normally it is meant to be reasonably light-hearted and entertaining, but the speaker can have a [ - ]

Kitten Braden isn't naive, as in, "deficient in worldly wisdom."
She has seen plenty of the world to be wise enough about it, thank you very much. She simply chooses to ignore all the meanness, in the form of "serious, serious, serious" people, and live her life in a parallel world filled with golden trinkets and sugary pop songs.
That she is actually a he is almost beside the point, at least for Kitten.
Played with astonishing confidence and touching openness by Cillian Murphy, Kitten was never meant to be the "Patrick" whose body brought her into this life. Kitten experiences no conflicting emotions; in her own head, she was always a girl.
"Breakfast on Pluto"
This is the fully formed world of "Breakfast on Pluto," Irish director Neil Jordan's nearly indescribable return to the territory of transvestites and Irish terrorism. Kitten may not make much sense in this review, but in Murphy and Jordan's smooth hands, she is a wonder to behold.
To the relentless beat of a bubble-gum soundtrack, Patrick "Kitten" Braden is born the love child of a local priest (Liam Neeson) and the priest's lovely housekeeper, and deposited an orphan on the rectory steps. This scene is narrated by computer-generated robins, whose chirping is helpfully subtitled.
Flash forward to 10-year-old Patrick, wearing a dress and donning his stepsister's makeup. Patrick's undeniable female tendencies drive his adoptive mother crazy, but her slapping and cursing are merely detours to Patrick, not deterrents. He/she grows into a winsome, pretty and unflappable adolescent girl.
Eventually Kitten becomes the mascot of one of the oddest glam-
rock bands ever assembled, and that's saying something. Billy Rock and the Mohawks play country-billy in Indian costumes, the lead singer falls in love with Kitten and puts our hero in a maiden's buckskin. They retire to a windy caravan parked on the Irish coast, with a hatch in the floor concealing machine guns meant for the IRA.
The wistful, the brutal and the criminal are never far from one another in Jordan's work, going back to the guns-and-gender mash of "The Crying Game." It doesn't work unless the writing - here based on Patrick McCabe's novel - and the directing demonstrate absolute confidence. They do, and Kitten's unique spirit glides along on the pop songs Jordan sees as crucial to his atmosphere.
The getaway drivers for terrorists wet their pants while idling in the lane. (Jordan swears he knows this is true from IRA stories.) When Kitten goes to confessional and says an "Our Father," her father is actually next door, taking the confession. Later, Jordan turns a peep-show booth into another kind of confessional.
And Kitten is positively insulted when the terrorists merely slap her around a little instead of offing her: "Why is it with nancy-boys you can't be bothered killing them? You kill everyone else!"
Jordan is the kind of director you follow out of trust, even when his movies aren't perfect.
We trust him to pick a good story, first of all, one that rolls forward while feeling firmly rooted in its era, whether the grim blitz atmosphere of "The End of the Affair" or the dangerous fluidity of the early 1970s. And we trust him to tell jokes along the way, always laugh-out-loud funny but never more hurtful than the daily pain of the human struggle.
Kitten needed somebody like Jordan to tell her story. Or his story. No matter. Jordan can tell them both.
Staff writer Michael Booth can be reached at 303-820-1686 or email@example.com.

Elephant Ride Banglung Cambodia

We stayed at Lake View Lodge in June 2011 for three nights. The accommodation is average as is the restaurant. However, I would like to comment on the Elephant Ride which was arranged through THe Lake View Lodge's own tourist agency. Firstly we were taken by scooter to the village to begin the ride. The driver of my partner's scooter was driving much too fast and was sliding around in the mud, he asked several times for the driver to slow down but he did not and eventually the bike slipped again and both my partner and driver were thrown off the bike.
Once we arrived we were put on the elephant. The wooden seat was incredibly uncomfortable. However, the most cruel and distressing aspect of the elephan ride was how the elephant handler hit the elephant. He used a sharp axe hitting the elephant on the head very very hard with the sharp end of the axe, drawing blood. After this I asked that he did not hit the elephant, after the second time we asked to return home as this behaviour was not acceptable to us. As we didnt know where we were we had to go back on very scary scooter ride.
We then tried to find the english speaking owner Sophat to explain that the elephant ride experience was incredibly distressing for us both. However we could not find Sophat and there were no English speaking staff other than the owner's teenage son. We therefore did not have any opportunity to make a complaint to Sophat. I do not advise anyone to take this Elephant Ride and I am extremely disappointed by the Sophat Tours and Lake View Lodge.

That may be but hitting an elephant on the head with an axe?!
That's worthy of a complaint and warning to me. I certainly don't want to be on an elephant treated like that. Well, in general people should realize that very crude methods are used to "train" the elephants. It may not always be visible but don't think that it doesn't happen just because you don't see it.
Anyway, it's not my kind of thing to use elephants in that way for my own pleasure. Having lived in African game parks for 2 years makes me biased though.
#3 Posted: 5/9/2011 - 11:36
Complaint to whom about whom though?
Sophat and his guesthouse are not to blame for the bad treatment of elephants. You can say "oh, they shouldn't promote this trip" (This isn't their trip. All guesthouses send their guests to the same place to ride elephants). They could take a stand (and watch their guests go elsewhere to organize the trip). Hard for a guesthouse charging USD4 a night to turn down cash though. Also it's an animal welfare vs. local livelihoods issue so the issue isn't totally cut and dry in my eyes.
Just sayin'.

I wasn't referring to the guesthouse and you are right in a way and I may have put unclear that my complaint was only about the treatment of the elephants and not the guesthouse or Sophat sending people to it.
As for your last statement: It shouldn't be one versus the other. Local livelihoods can coexist with animals and if done well it can benefit both. With a good proper set-up elephant project local livelihoods can improve as well. Therefor it would benefit Sophat as well if he and other guesthouses would speak out on the subject.

Firstly Rasheed, the reply 'first time complainer on multiple forums' is completely unconstructive and I wonder why you bothered to write. But thank-you everyone else who has taken the time to think about this subject and reply constructively. It really has bothered me since we returned from Cambodia and it is benificial for me to think about it.
I dont agree that Sophat and his guesthouse are not to blame for the treatment, everyone involved in the tourist trade, ourselves included must take responsibility to ensure that the tourism is as ethical as possible. Of course this is not always possible but I feel that everyone involved should at least make an effort. It was for this reason that I wanted to speak to Sophat about how we felt. (P.S rasheed I dont know when you were last at Lake View but the nightly rate is now nowhere near 4 dollars per night). I felt and still feel that Sophat should be aware of the nature of the trip and as a business he should be looking into the specifics. Sustainable tourism to the villages in Cambodia is now big business and many travellers are ensuring that they only use tour guides who are interested in promoting the best interests of the village residents.
I would also like to point out that the best means of ensuring ethical tourism to to ask the right questions before. I am at also fault here because I did not has how the elephant is trained or managed.
I am also in contact with the Ministry of Tourism in Cambodia and have requested that they also take the issue further.
Thanks for all your comments. I hope that Sophat has access to this forum.

Firstly Rasheed, the reply 'first time complainer on multiple forums' is completely unconstructive and I wonder why you bothered to write.
Because of the trend of first-time posters who, for many possible reasons, complain about a particular business and then are never to be heard from again. You came back.
P.S rasheed I dont know when you were last at Lake View but the nightly rate is now nowhere near 4 dollars per night
Was staying there early august. USD1 Dorm. USD3 shared bathroom. USD4-5 private bath. Did you have AC? Seems near USD4 to me.
I replied at greater length on one of your 5 thorntree posts.
I sent Sophat the link to one of the thorntree posts.
ps For full disclosure, I've known Sophat for many years and have stayed at Lakeview many times during that period.

8 Reviews
8 Reviews
the town hall is located in the center of old town on old town square (raekoda plats). originally built in the 13th century the building you see today was built between 1402-1404. for centuries the town hall was used as meeting room and warehouse. in the 17th century a late reniassance tower was added to the building. in 1944 the soviets bombed tallinn and the tower was destroyed. it was rebuilt shortly after the war. open to the public.
The town hall is situated in town hall square in the old town the current building was completed in 1404 although records show that there has been a town hall situated at this site since 1322. You can climb the tower for free May-August and can visit inside the town hall in July and August.
The town hall as you would expect is situated next to th town hall square. The current building was completed in 1404 however records indicate that another town hall was situated at this site but in a different building as far back as 1322. in the summer months May - August you can climb the town hall tower free of charge from 11 - 6. the town hall itself is opened 10-4 mon-sat in july and august
Tallinn`s late Gothic Town Hall is the most recogniseable symbol of the city and is recognized throughout Europe as a unique architectural treasure.
Construction began on the central square at the beginning of 13th century and was completed in 1404.
The Town Hall in Tallin was finalized in 1404 and stands as an impressive front to the town Hall Square in the Old town. It is the oldest gothic town hall in northern Europe and is open to visitors daily (or maybe closed sundays) during the summer and the rest of the year after appointment. I understand you may enter the tower if you want to, but mind the bells!
Tallinn`s late Gothic Town Hall building is one of the most famed symbols of the city.
The Town Hall was established on the central square, probably at the beginning of 13th century. In 1402-1404, the building was substantially reconstructed.
Tallinn's civic life has been centred here at the southern edge of Town Hall Square since 1341, but the imposing Gothic building of today dates to 1404. Old Thomas, the weather vane who symbolises Tallinn, has been keeping watch since 1530. The town hall is still used for state functions and is often closed to the public.
This gothic building is builded at 1402-1404. At the top you may see city's mascot guard old Thomas.

Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls' MVP point guard, has signed with Chicago-based Giordano's Famous Stuffed Pizza as an equity owner and as the brand's new national spokesperson.
Beginning later this month, the pro basketball star known as "D-Rose" will begin appearing in Giordano's advertising, consumer promotions and charitable efforts as the company broadens its national profile and expands its menu offerings to enhance the overall consumer experience.
Led by Richard Levy, Chicago-based private equity firm Victory Park Capital Advisors LLC acquired Giordano's in late 2011 as the company began a wide scale re-introduction of the brand. Through this new relationship, Rose will play an active role in helping bring the Giordano's experience to even more consumers as the company plans to launch an expansive new menu this fall featuring a variety of stuffed and thin crust pizzas, as well as new salads, sandwiches, pastas and desserts.
"Derrick Rose is indisputably the best player in basketball today and we're honored to now call him a part of our team," said Yorgo Koutsogiorgas, president and CEO of Giordano's. "Our customers have been telling us for decades that we're the best stuffed pizza in the world and we just scored another great win for Chicago by adding Derrick Rose to our lineup. He's really looking forward to helping us grow this great company."
The partnership makes Rose the first nationally recognized athlete and celebrity spokesperson to align with the company in its nearly 40-year history.
"I'm proud to call Chicago my hometown and I've grown up with my family eating Giordano's pizza," Rose said. "I've always loved Giordano's, so this was a uniquely personal opportunity for me."
In addition to featuring various promotions with Rose, the company is also currently working on Rose's signature pizza.

Jordan Zimmermann dealing with a 'dead arm'
Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann got pounded by the Cardinals on Friday, surrendering eight runs on nine hits in just three innings. He walked two and struck out one. MLB.com's Bill Ladson reports Washington's No. 3 starter is now dealing with a "dead arm."
"Dead arm" might be the scariest term in baseball, but it is a fairly common issue for pitchers this time of year. A lot of guys deal with fatigue after two or three spring training outings and are fine after a few days of rest. Chances are the same will be true for Zimmermann, but any time a pitcher complains of a sore or dead arm, the situation is worth monitoring.
Zimmermann, 26, went 12-8 with a 2.94 ERA in 195 2/3 innings last season. The Cardinals roughed him up in his only NLDS start, scoring five runs on seven hits in three innings. He returned later in the series to strike out the side in a perfect inning out of the bullpen.

Remember Me
JOAN ARMATRADING has come a long way since her birth in the West Indies and her upbringing in Birmingham.
With 18 stunning albums to her credit and a new blues-based CD scheduled for release in Spring 2007, Joan's subtle and sublime music has touched millions of people all over the world.
Known as a true craftsman, her distinctive vocals and consummate musicianship – she has arranged as well as played every instrument, with the exception of drums on her forthcoming album – have led to unanimous, widespread and, perhaps most importantly, consistent critical acclaim. Effortlessly eclectic, her sound has ranged from true soul to sophisticated pop driven by her passionate guitar.
In musical terms Joan Armatrading has achieved far more than most performers even dream of - she has played, and still does, with some of the finest musicians around, she has received countless gold, platinum and silver discs, she has been nominated for both Brit and Grammy Awards, she has been the recipient of a highly coveted Ivov Novello Award, she figured large in VH1's Top 100 voted poll The Most Influential Woman In Rock…..
But more than that Joan has been honoured by the Queen and is one of the few female artists ever to receive an MBE.
She is also currently President of the highly prestigious Women Of The Year Lunch. This sees women from all walks of life honored for their unique and often truly heroic contribution to modern day life, whether it be in the Arts, the Sciences, the political, the business or the humanitarian arenas. This is a role she takes extremely seriously and one she is justly proud of.
In addition, she has performed for Nelson Mandela, been given the key to Sydney, is Patron of various charities, presented several BBC radio series and been awarded several degrees.
As well as the Honorary degree she was given by the John Moores University of Liverpool, Joan has also received a Doctorate in Music from the University of Birmingham (12th December 2002), been made an Honorary Fellow of Northampton University (14th November 2003) and received an Honorary degree from Aston University in 2006. Moreover, after five years of committed studying, Joan achieved a goal she had held since childhood, she gained a BA Honours from the Open University – a feat very few other working artists would attempt, let alone while on tour (she took her final exam the day after the last gig of her 2000 dates).
Joan Armatrading's dedication to her studies while consistently producing wonderful uplifting music says much about the woman, her vision and her commitment to excellence.
Born in St Kitts in the West Indies on December 9th 1950 and moving to England when she was seven, she took her first musical steps on her mother's piano. Although her father had a guitar it was strictly out of bounds so when Joan saw one for £3 in a pawn shop window she pestered her mother to barter two old prams they no longer used. She taught herself to play and began writing songs at the age of 14.
Leaving school when she was 16 she undertook various jobs, all the while writing songs, until signing to Cube Records in 1971. Her debut album, "Whatever's For Us", produced by the late great Gus Dudgeon and written with her friend Pam Nestor, was released the following year on Cube in the UK and A&M in the States. In 1974 she signed to A&M world-wide and the career that has followed has witnessed a plethora of classic and memorable songs – "Love and Affection", "Down To Zero", "Drop the Pilot", "Me Myself I"…..
Joan has worked with members of Little Feat, Fairport Convention, XTC, the Police and Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Musicians such as Darryl Jones (Rolling Stones), Mark Brzezicki (Big Country) Tony Levin (King Crimson), Manu Katche (Sting), Benmont Tench (Tom Petty), Mark Knopfler and stalwart Greg Phillingames have all joined her in the studio while her list of producers is impressive – Glyn Johns, Gus Dudgeon, Steve Lillywhite, David Tickle to name but a few.
The first non-jazz artist to play at London's Ronnie Scott's in the main room, Joan has many distinctions to her credit. A long time supporter and performer for the Prince's Trust, she lends her support to various charities across the world. In December 1998 she released a CD, "Lullabies With A Difference" in aid of PACES, a charity for children with Cerebral Palsy. She is a Patron of the Peace University in Vienna and recently she became a Patron of Ukuza which helps raise the cultural profile of South Africa.
South Africa has always been close to Joan's heart. A huge admirer of Nelson Mandela, not only has she performed live for him at his 70th birthday at Wembley Stadium but, in 1999, she was invited to write a special tribute song. Titled "The Messenger", Joan performed it to the former President of South Africa when he made a private visit to the UK in 2000….he smiled and danced throughout.
In 1996 Joan was awarded an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection while a platinum CD was received for her part in the BBC's "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed.
March 2003 saw the release of the Lovers Speak" album featuring 14 tracks in all arranged and produced by Joan. In addition, with the exception of drums and horns, she played every instrument herself. An exceptional CD that combined strong upbeat melodies, riffs that stuck in your head and passionate, stirring soulful ballads, it was the result of a long-held desire to make a truly solo album.
The feel was truly Joan, the thread that ran through all the diverse elements and meshed them together was the touch the artist herself brought. In 2005 this was exemplified in the DVD release "Joan Armatrading All The Way from America" which showed Joan at her best – live on stage , performing material that spanned her illustrious career.
2007 sees another massive tour for Joan with the UK leg kicking off in February. The live dates are accompanied by a brand new CD titled "IntoThe Blues" which Joan cites as her best work yet.
"I've wanted to make an album that truly reflected me and I think this does. I love the blues and while each song is very different there's a cohesive thread that runs throughout".
There certainly is and, as you'd expect, it's great – this is one album well worth waiting for.

Collaborative Technology-Based Projects at Hamilton College
e-Black Studies Multimedia Website Project Overview
Description and Resources
Course Name:
e-Black Studies: Race and Cyberculture
Course Description:
The term 'eBlack Studies' describes the ongoing application of current digital information technology towards the production, dissemination, and collection of historical knowledge critical to the discipline of Black Studies and to the overall black experience. We will chart the future of scholarship, teaching, and community work through the use of eBlack Studies. We will explore digital culture as it critically interrogates, interprets, defines, and documents the experiences of people of African descent. Applications like Google, Facebook, MySpace, and Second Life will be examined.
Project Description:
Students will survey and use a variety of technologies to collect and analyze the relationship between technology, culture and ethnicity. Students will create an archive of content and media using the wiki tool in Blackboard and exchange ideas using BlogCFC. Students will compare interactions in a virtual world using an avatar that represents their own ethnic/cultural identity and then one that represents a different ethnic/cultural identity. Students will "curate" a showcase of the information and media that they survey and analyze.
Professor Angel D. Nieves

Baobab Website
- Created Spring, 2009
Goals, Process and Outcomes
Project Goals:
To expand the students' personal knowledge of the relationship between technology, culture, and ethnicity, while allowing the students to share their experiences in a web-based format.
Learning Objectives:
Create an archive of media and content, encompassing the students' experiences throughout the project.
Project Process:
Students will develop a collection of digital items related to Black Studies. Each week, students will contribute a list of items that may become part of the ongoing collection. Development of the collection will include:
Creating a refworks bibliography for each item/object/URL. The Refworks will be the long term metadata citation for the item.
Add the list of items collected each week to each individual students wiki page
On the individual student Wiki page:
Describe the structure inherent in the items and/or how the item is presented
Describe the "experience" inherent in each item and/or in how it is presented
Sort the items into thematic categories - subcollections
Develop Tags for each item in the collection that help make it accessible to the general public
Associate each item collected with other items in related theme on a thematic wiki page
If part of a curated collection, how best would the item(s) be experienced? What form would the item(s) take, what would be the optimal structure in relationship to other objects in the collection? How would variations in structure and form effect the "experience" of the collection?
Students repeat this cycle weekly as new items are considered for the collection
Learning Outcomes:
The students created a website containing their experiences and thoughts, and made it publicly available for the community at large.
Project Feedback:
The students in this course felt that the variety of media they explored truly helped them to understand the triad relationship they sought to comprehend at the beginning of the course.
Some quotes from surveys filled out at the conclusion of the class:
"The Second Life software was useful because it allowed me to apply what I was reading about and put it into practice. I was able to live an identity that was not particularly my own and gain an experience that I would never have done outside of the class. I was able to experience this alternate life that many people use and learn how it is both a resource and hindrance for people of color."
"It was interesting to see how Second Life didn't truly accommodate users of any other ethnicity."

New figures offer the latest reminder of an apartment boom.
Housing starts fell in October because of a 15.5% drop in the multifamily sector, which is notoriously volatile. But the broader picture shows that apartments have been on a tear this year. Read More »
By Dawn Wotapka and Robbie Whelan
Americans continue to flee homeownership following the nation's historic housing bust, but there are signs the exodus could be slowing.
The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that the nation's homeownership rate stood at 65.5% in the third quarter, down from 66.3% a year earlier. But the rate was unchanged from the previous quarter, a sign that the plunge in homeownership may be hitting a bottom, as record-low mortgage rates lure consumers into those 30-year loans again.
Today's homeownership rate is well below rates near 70% reported during the housing boom, back when easy credit seemed as ubiquitous as candy on Halloween. The rate has fallen in recent years as owners who lost their home to foreclosure turned to the rental market. Each percentage point decline represents about 1 million households. Read More »
The nation's homeownership rate inched up a bit in the second quarter of the year but remains near the lowest level in 15 years as fallout from the housing bust persists.
The percentage of U.S. homes that are owner-occupied rose to 65.5% at the end of June, up from 65.4% at the end of March, the Census Bureau said Friday. The rate was still down from 65.9% in the second quarter of last year. It's been quite a while since the rate was this low. The last time was in 1997, when the rate fluctuated between 65.4% and 66%. And economists say the rate could drop further. Read More »
