Astro Boy (鉄腕アトム Tetsuwan Atomu?, lit. "Mighty Atom"), sometimes referred to as New Mighty Atom (新・鉄腕アトム Shin Tetsuwan Atomu?), is a remake of the 1960s anime series of the same name(s); both series are adapted from the manga series by Osamu Tezuka.
This series places more focus on Astro's robotic abilities and has a darker story line than previous incarnations of the series.
The series ran for 52 episodes (edited down to 51 episodes for the English versions).
The first episode takes place in the year 2030 in Tokyo, Japan.[2] Dr. Tenma, the Minister of Science, is attempting to create a robot capable of expressing human emotions. After his fourth failed attempt, Tenma is approached by Skunk Kusai, a man who offers him an "Omega Factor" circuit which, when installed, will humanize a robot. After rejecting Skunk's offer and throwing him out, Tenma's nine-year-old son, Tobio, suggests his father make a robot shaped like a child.
Inspired by his son, Tenma sets off to the Ministry of Science to work, forgetting his promise to take Tobio to an amusement park. Upset by his father's neglect, Tobio drives an aerocar home but crashes into an oncoming truck, dying in the process. Just before he dies, Tobio makes his father promise to name his boy robot "Tobio" and make it the strongest robot in the world, while still loving it like a son. Tenma then creates a 100,000 horsepower (75,000 kW) robot capable of flight, equipped with lasers and machine guns. However, Skunk obtains the blueprints, duplicates them, and takes them to the evil Count Walpurgis, who aspires to put the Omega Factor into a super robot and use it for world domination.
Afraid of the potential threat Tenma's robot son could pose to humanity, the Prime Minister of Japan orders the robot dismantled by the next night. Tenma, however, secretly finishes constructing the robot that night, only showing his two assistants that "Tobio" exists, and takes him home to raise him. After various mishaps with raising the robot, Tobio's mind suddenly goes blank, his eyes start blinking red, and he is summoned to wait in the middle of town. Atlas, Walpurgis' new super robot, had been activated and was connecting to Tobio. When the connection process fails, Tobio regains his senses, only to come under attack from a robot disposal tank piloted by Tenma, Honda, and Ushiyama. Something goes wrong and the tank malfunctions and goes berserk. Tobio recovers and saves everyone in the vicinity. Recovering in the hospital, Tenma realizes the public will discover that Tobio exists, and decides to take Tobio on an ocean cruise to America.
Tobio struggles to control his strength. After a disastrous meal on the cruise, Tenma disowns Tobio. Tobio hides on deck and is tricked into signing himself into a contract of slavery to the ringmaster Hamegg, who runs the Robot Circus. Tobio spots Atlas nearby and tries to attack him, but Tobio loses most of his energy in the process. Hamegg then shuts him in his suitcase. Tenma soon resents his actions and begins searching for Tobio. At the circus, Tobio is renamed "Mighty Atom/Astro Boy" and is cruelly treated by Hamegg, but taught and cared for by a performer named Kathy, who shows him kindness and compassion. Professor Ochanomizu, a local scientist, discovers Tenma's lost robot at the circus and, with Kathy's help, smuggles Astro Boy out of the circus. Professor Ochanomizu becomes the new head of the Ministry of Science. From there, Astro Boy learns more about the world and becomes the defender of Tokyo and beyond.
Atom/Astro Boy[edit]
Astro has a strong sense of morality and is always gentle and kind towards others. Astro is a superpowered robot, with seven secret super powers[3] designed to look exactly like Tobio, the son of his creator. Dr. Tenma initially treated Astro like a real boy as a replacement for his son who died in a car accident. However, Astro Boy was clumsy from his inability to control his strength. After being rejected by Dr. Tenma, Astro joins Hamegg's Robot Circus, where he learns to control his powers and meets Dr. Ochanomizu. He is unsure of his destiny in the beginning, but he gains confidence as the story unfolds.
Throughout the series, Atlas attempts to persuade Astro to help Atlas conquer the world. By design, both Astro and Atlas were created from the same blueprints, and so they are considered to be brothers. However, Astro refuses to help Atlas in his quest for world domination. He is voiced by Mari Shimizu, Patricia Kugler Whitely (Australian version) and then-12-year-old Steven Bednarski (American version).
- Sarah (Canadian dub), Uranie (French dub)
Uran is Astro's naive but determined little sister. She was "born" on New Years Day, built by Dr. Ochanomizu as a gift to Astro. She has half the power of her brother (with 50,000 horsepower) but is quite powerful. Uran is depicted as a cute, tomboyish little girl.
Despite this, Uran is generally a good-hearted girl and is shown to be rather attached to Astro and generally looks up to him. (this is shown after he saves her from becoming a slave in episode 14.)
In contrast to the 1960s series, Uran occupied a less prominent position in the general storyline, and her appearance was revised to make her softer and rounder, possibly to appeal to female viewers. Many times, she was the star of a few episodes, all of which had a special ending theme with pictures of Uran in costumes. Uran is voiced by Masako Sugaya in the Japanese dub and by Becke Wilenski in the American version.[4]
Doctor Tenma[edit]
- Doctor Boynton (American dub), Professor Balfus (Canadian dub)
After several robot design failures, Dr. Tenma created Astro Boy from a suggestion from his son, Tobio. Dr. Tenma zealously worked on creating a robot that would be able to act and behave like a real human. In his zealous search to obtain his goal, Dr. Tenma neglected Tobio, forgetting his promise to take Tobio to the amusement park. As a result, Tobio decides to go on his own and crashes the robot car, dying from the accident.
Dr. Tenma continues to work on the boy robot, and when the project finally reaches completion calls the robot Tobio, after his son. However, Tobio's (Astro) inability to control his own strength begins to infuriate Dr. Tenma, and while on a cruise, Dr. Tenma angrily disowns Tobio. Dr. Tenma is last seen mournfully calling out for Tobio, and is not seen through the remainder of the series.[5] He is voiced by Tamio Ōki, and Del Lewis (American version).
Professor Ochanomizu[edit]
- Dr. Elefun (American dub), Dr. Cole Green, later Professor Peabody (Canadian Dub), Professor Caudrine (French dub)
Succeeding Dr. Tenma as Minister of Science, Dr. Ochanomizu rescues Astro Boy from Hamegg's Robot Circus. Dr. Ochanomizu is a robot rights advocate and creates the "Robot Bill of Rights", which allows robots to be of equal status of humans. He often acts as a surrogate father for Astro Boy, providing him with advice and information. Early into the series, Dr. Ochanomizu builds Astro a mother, father, and a little sister named Uran. He is voiced by Hisashi Katsuta and Brian Parry (American version).
Astro's half-brother and arch enemy, he was created by Walpurgis and Skunk who copied Astro's original design plans. Atlas was designed with a similar, childlike look and was planned to be used in theft, but Atlas was too naive and unprepared for criminal use. After this, Walpurgis installed an Omega Factor into Atlas, which allowed him to defy the robot laws. After attacking Walpurgis and Skunk for destroying Livian and being heavily damaged himself, he rebuilt his own body and Livian's, along with a horse and an electric sword. The new Atlas believed robots were superior to human beings and repeatedly asked Astro to join him in taking over the world. Atlas and Astro share many of the same powers and abilities.
The new Atlas and Livian are adult in appearance. Over the course of the series, Atlas gained a floating crystal castle and dealt with Skunk and then Walpurgis who he killed off for good after his creator blackmailed him to use a powerful destructive cannon by planting a bomb in Livian's body which Walpurgis would detonate should Atlas refused to do his job, however Livian escaped from Walpurgis' grasp and Atlas pulverised him alongside his Castle after retrieving Livian. Later, Atlas sacrifices himself and Livian to save Earth from alien invaders. He is voiced by Katsuji Mori and Paul Nelson (American version).
- Victor (later Percival) Pompous (American dub, first animated series) Daddy Walrus (American dub, second animated series), Max McNugget (Canadian dub), Monsieur Morse (French dub)
Real name Shunsaku Ban (Albert Duncan in the American dub), Daddy Walrus is Astro's teacher. Throughout the series, Mr. Pompous/Daddy Walrus is portrayed as a judo expert, an efficient private eye, and a keen flower arranger. As a trained martial artist, a recurring joke is Pompous reacting in terror when confronted but instantly rallying courage and "polishing off" an adversary twice his size. A sharp advocate for Robotic rights, he is one of Astro's strongest supporters, and frequently engages in vitriolic arguments with the formidale Inspector Gumshoe. While loud, brash, and comically short-tempered, Pompous/Daddy Walrus regards Astro and Uran with genuine affection and would willingly risk his life on their behalf. He is voiced by Kazuo Kumakura and Bob Gonzalez (American dub).
- Selena (Canadian dub), Vivian (French dub)
Livian was formerly Walpurgis's robot maid, who befriended the young Atlas and took care of him. She was destroyed for accidentally breaking a decorative gargoyle and, as a result, Atlas went hysterical and attacked Walpurgis. Atlas rebuilt Livian and himself as adult robots, making Livian look like a princess. She is the only person to show compassion to Atlas and, in turn, he never harms her. Livian once leaves his crystal castle to warn Astro about Atlas's plans, and later tells Astro that he and Atlas are brothers. She is voiced by Keiko Yokozawa and Becky Wilenski (American version).
- Blip (Canadian dub), Plume (French dub)
Jump is a yellow dog with brown patches and the pet dog of Tobio. Jump was loyal to his master and rushed to the scene after Tobio crashed the car and died. When Astro was first introduced to Jump, Jump was afraid and didn't like him. It is unknown how Dr. Ochanomizu found him, but when Astro visits his new home and parents for the first time, Jump is also with them. Jump grows to like Astro and his family, though Uran does not have the same amount of respect for Jump that Astro has.
Skunk Kusai[edit]
- Slippery (Canadian dub), Sirius (French dub)
An enigmatic thief and mob leader in Tokyo, known for his blue skin and bloodhound eyes. In the beginning of the series, he is working with Walpurgis in order to copy Astro's design blueprints. Skunk was assigned to teach Atlas, but, after becoming frustrated with him, the majority of the teaching was done by Livian. After Skunk set up Astro and Atlas's first battle, Walpurgis destroyed Livian, and Skunk just barely got away from Atlas's hysterical backlash.
Skunk went to Tokyo and started up a gang, whom briefly used the adult Atlas to commit several robberies when Atlas returned. Throughout the rest of the series, Skunk utilizes various robots for his own doings, most famously in the episode "The Light Ray Robot". He develops a strong hate for Astro because of the boy's constant interference with Skunk's work. At times, the latter tries to destroy or taunt him. He is voiced by Seizō Katō and Jay Rath (American version).
Tobio Tenma[edit]
- Toby Boynton (American dub)
A nine-year-old boy who is the son of Doctor Tenma who was fatally wounded in a car accident. After being neglected by his father, he goes in his car alone and crashes into an oncoming truck. Whilst on his deathbed at the Tokyo hospital, he tells his father to create a robot who looks like him. After his final words spoken to his father, he dies in his father's arms. He is voiced by Mari Shimizu, Patricia Kugler Whitely (American version) and Steven Bednarski (Canadian version).

Broadcast and release[edit]
There are two different English language dubs. The first was coordinated by Tezuka Productions and Fuji TV and dubbed in 1982, which aired in Australia from 1982 to 1998. It had a very limited release in the U.S.,[6] where broadcasts were limited to syndication in a few markets, such as the Philadelphia-Wilmington area where it aired at 10:30am weekdays in 1986 on what was then WTGI—channel 61.[7] This is the version that was later released on DVD in both Australia and the United States (see third paragraph).
The second English dub was heavily edited and redubbed in Canada in 1985, solely for broadcast there. In the Canadian version, most of the characters had different names from their American counterparts. Due to laws which required a specific amount of Canadian content, the Canadian version also featured a pre-title sequence which recapped Astro's origin, and an epilogue where Astro would give a brief report about each episode's adventure to a computer named Geronimo. Astro's report would always contain a minor error about the story, and a narrator would encourage the viewers to find Astro's mistake, and compare answers with their friends. In India, the Hindi dubbed version of this show was broadcast on Pogo from 2008 to 2009.
The aforementioned first dub of the 1980 series has since been released on DVD by Madman Entertainment and Manga Entertainment, although there are differences between the Madman and Manga Entertainment sets. Madman's set contains more deleted scenes, as well as the first two episodes, unedited (in Japanese with English subtitles). The Manga Entertainment set has a newly edited Japanese language track to go with the U.S. version of the first episode.[8] As of March 2012, the Manga set is now out of print.

Bruton manages to easily destroy Mont Blanc by catching him off guard. When he heads to battle Astro, he instead is met by Uran, who tells him Astro won't fight him. Bruton takes Uran hostage to lure Astro into a fight, and goes and destroys Molnar. When Astro catches up to Bruton, the robot wrestler Brondo appears, looking to avenge the death of his friend, Molnar. Bruton returns Uran to Astro, and takes on Brondo; however, he is heavily damaged in the fight. He begs for Astro to activate his summoning beacon to call his master; Astro does so, earning Bruton's gratitude. Later, Astro is contacted by Zeron, who has a warrant for Bruton's arrest. Soon after, Zeron is challenged by Bruton, and nearly gains the upper hand until Bruton rips his body in two. Soon, Dr. Elefun locates the Sultan's palace and flies there, with Astro tailing him. The Sultan holds Dr. Elefun hostage, as a bargaining chip to make Astro fight Bruton. Bruton returns to the palace and encounters Astro, and the two battle until Bruton catches Astro in his hands, and threatens to tear him apart.

|Bruton releases Astro, as thanks for helping him before. Astro begs him to reconsider having to fight, but Bruton explains that he cannot, as that was his primary purpose. He asks Astro to take Elefun home, then goes off to battle Hercules, a powerful Greek Spartan robot. He successfully destroys him, then goes on to battle Photar, a kind, compassionate robot who takes care of orphans. Photar begs him for the chance to say goodbye to his orphans, which Bruton grants. Later, they battle in a terrible storm; as Photar is a solar powered robot, he runs out of energy and is destroyed. The Sultan calls out Astro once again, and has him battle Bruton at a volcanic valley. However, the volcano threatens to erupt and destroy all of the nearby villages and towns unless the power is contained. Astro begins throwing boulders into the volcanic vent to contain the power and begs Bruton for assistance. Bruton initially refuses, but finally has a change of heart and begins assisting Astro, much to the chagrin of the Sultan and the delight of Elefun. The two successfully stop the volcano from erupting, and Astro commends Bruton for his help and tells him that he is a good robot after all. Their victory is cut short, however, when Sultan's scientist, Dr. Abraham, reveals his own secret creation: a super robot named Bora, with a 2 million horsepower engine, and enough destructive force to knock out other robots simply by yelling its name and creating a katabatic wind. Bruton asks Astro to give his regards to Uran, and sacrifices himself to attempt to destroy Bora. However, Bora survives this attempt with nary a scratch, forcing Astro to fight it. He manages to destroy Bora by getting it to attack itself, and getting inside its damaged body and blasting its innards. As Sultan mourns the loss of Bruton, Abraham reveals himself to be a robot; he was Sultan's robotic assistant, and created Bora to prove that brute force alone isn't everything. Astro and Elefun mourn the loss of Bruton, as well as Mont Blanc, Molnar, Brondo, Zeron, Hercules, and Photar, and hope that a future will come where all of man, and all of robots, can live together in peace.

|One evening, Astro is watching a story on TV about a boy who finds a bottle that contains a genie, who is released and promptly threatens to eat the boy. The boy instead asks to see if the genie can drink all the water in the sea; the genie grants his wish and drinks so much water that he explodes. As the story ends, a large meteor falls into a mountain valley some distance away. Dr. Elefun, Astro, and a team of scientists head off to investigate the crash. At the impact site, Astro uncovers a large metallic meteor-like object that turns out to be a mass of metal parts. Astro constructs the parts, and finds that they form a giant robot. A message capsule hidden in the mass calls the robot "Garon", which came from an alien planet and apparently has terraforming abilities. That night, a thunderstorm erupts, and Garon is brought to life by a stray bolt of lightning, frightening the scientists. Astro subdues Garon before he can cause damage, trapping him back in the impact site and buried in molten lava. However, one of the scientists, Dr. Adams, later uncovers Garon and secretly smuggles him to a remote island in the South Pacific. There, he requests Garon terraform the island to resemble the planet of his origin. As Garon proceeds to terraform the island, he also alters the atmosphere around the island to that of his planet. The scientists discover that his atmosphere has almost no oxygen content, but all perish before they can escape. The tradewinds begin carrying the poisonous atmosphere across the South Pacific, killing all life in its way. Astro is sent by Elefun to investigate, and he encounters Garon, still busily terraforming the island. Realizing that he can't win by brute force alone, he tricks Garon into also altering the gravity of the island to match that of his planet for at least one minute. Garon falls for his trick, and after altering the gravity of the island, gets shot back out into outer space, creating a vacuum around the island that pulls all of the poisonous gas along with him.

|In a prologue, Astro Boy's creator Osamu Tezuka reveals a little secret about the robot boy: That his legs are actually those of a robot girl. The backstory behind this fact, the plot of this episode, is that Astro Boy is tasked to retrieve one of his own blueprint templates from a military fortress of the Grota Republic. He meets and bonds with Ryoka (Nikki in the American dub), a sentient robot girl built from his very template, which unfortunately incorporates a neutron bomb, and in order to stop the bomb, the two robot children have to make a costly sacrifice: she must be completely dismantled in order to stop the bomb. Astro, having fallen in love with Nikki, stays with her till the very end. All that is left of her are her legs, which Astro takes to Dr. Elefun and asks him to switch his legs with hers, so that she could be a part of him forever. Elefun fulfills his request, and Astro happily takes off on more adventures.
The "lost" episode[edit]
The first two episodes of the series were edited into one episode, completely removing the subplot of Atlas's origin. The two episodes are available in their complete state, in Japanese-with-subtitles only, on the Madman Entertainment DVD release. The two individual episodes (along with the other 50) can also be legally seen online in most countries with crowd-sourced subtitles on Viki.

FOXBORO -- Tommy Kelly was not on the field for the start of Thursday's practice at Gillette Stadium.
The defensive tackle injured his right knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He returned to play after coming out briefly and told media members after the game he would be "all right." He did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Stevan Ridley (knee) was back out on the field for the second straight day at the shorts and shells session. Also in attendance were Danny Amendola (groin) and Rob Gronkowski (forearm/back), who both appeared to be moving well.
Running back Leon Washington (ankle), who missed Wednesday's practice, was not spotted during the media availability portion of the workout. Rookie linebacker Jamie Collins was also missing.
Michael Buchanan missed Wednesday's workout for non-injury related reasons but was back on Thursday.
Armond Armstead and Shane Vereen were spotted out on the lower field in t-shirts and shorts while their teammates practiced. Armstead can come off the reserve/NFI list and begin practicing next week. Vereen, on short-term injured reserve with a wrist injury, may return no sooner than Week 10.

What is RM Cash
One of the great things about dirt bike racing is that you can build your own course practically anywhere. All you need is enough space (and dirt, of course). Whether you create your own motocross track or build a course through the woods, there's no real limit. And with dirt bike race promotion materials from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, your course will look straight out of a magazine.
A great way to start out is with some Tusk course marker tape. You'll be able to easily delineate where your track's boundaries are. You can also pick up a few course markers, allowing you to show the correct way to go (or not to go, in some cases). Add in a few motocross hay bale covers, and your track will look as authentic as any race course ever did. There's no better way to make your friends and family feel like legitimate motocross or enduro competitors.
We also carry pennants and banners with the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC or Tusk logos. While they fit in great alongside your other race promotions on your personal course, they are also great additions for any garage or shop. Validate your passion for motocross (and dirt bikes in general) with one of these great promotional materials today!

How to take pictures at night: pro tips for spotting creative scenes after dark
Tips on how to take pictures at night
Don't be self-conscious
"This was my first shot of the City at night and I was feeling self-conscious with all the London commuters still milling around," says Caroline. "You soon get used to it, though, and Simon was great. I like the contrast between new and old in this shot."
Plan your compositions
Caroline was keen to crack on, but Simon said it would be better to walk around first. "Get an idea of which angles and vantage points will be good to shoot from," he says. "Try compositions with your camera in hand to see if a shot will work and take a few rough shots before setting up your tripod."
New perspective
"Simon suggested getting right under the Lloyds building with the tripod for this shot," says Caroline. "The converging vertical lines were used to add to the dramatic effect."
Keep your lens cap safe
"I was forever losing my lens caps," says Caroline. "But I was out with my camera one day and didn't have anywhere to put my soft sunglasses case so I tied it to my camera strap. I then discovered the perfect place to store my lens cap when taking pics!"

Funny: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
- Din is a rather... unusual Redguard encountered north of Gnisis. He apparently lost his mind when he was bitten by a slaughterfish, and his fever is making him say very interesting things, like: "Muddled? Where? No! Don't play in the muddled. You'll get a dirty mind."
- When wandering the countryside, you might run into a naked Nordic barbarian standing around. He claims a witch stole his clothes. Elsewhere, you might encounter another Nordic barbarian claiming a witch stole his clothes. And a third. There's also one in Tribunal, but he insists that he was only naked because of the heat, and complains that everybody thinks a witch stole his clothes.
- ABCs for Barbarians. It's Exactly What It Says on the Tin - an alphabet book meant to educate barbarians on how to read.
- Speaking of books, Boethiah's Pillow Book.
No words can describe what you see. Or what you think you see.
- And of course, there's always The Lusty Argonian Maid...
- When your character is fighting and someone hits them, normally they grunt or give a gasp of pain, but on occasion, they'll yell "Stoooopid!"
- Crassius Curio. Besides the Squick he is simply so funny.
- There's a spell called Emasculate that you can buy. It drains endurance. And there are a couple of bedrooms where you can find potions of Fortify Endurance under or behind the bed.
- Dagoth Ur's reaction when you start attacking the Heart of Lorkhan.
- The "Favors for Orcs" quest. It involves two orcs trying to hide from the guards for whatever reason, and you must play messenger boy between them. The first gives you a note to give to the other orc, saying that he's hiding "by the tree near a rock and another rock". He says that he's "good at hiding, so if you don't see me, that's where I am". When the quest is over, your journal notes that you "feel a bit stupider for ever having talked to either one of them".
- Speaking of orcs, Ghorak Manor in Caldera has a few humorous areas. Creeper, the friendly Scamp with the 2nd most gold to barter in the vanilla game is on the 2nd level. Elsewhere, there is a female orc in a bedroom wearing armor up top... and nothing down below.
- The note you have to deliver as proof that the Gateway ghost has finally disappeared.

text: As a lifelong educator, I find it interesting that the Sierra Club is trying to discredit the merits of the regional university plan as it heads toward final approval. To suggest that the county is "selling its soul" in order to build a private university is misleading. This piece of land on the western border of Roseville has been part of the SACOG "blueprint" plan for growth for nearly 15 years. Although Placer County enjoys a rich tradition of offering quality education in our K-12 schools and also benefits from fine institutions like Sierra Community College and William Jessup University, the region desperately needs more higher education opportunities that will keep the best and brightest in Placer County. Community leaders throughout Placer County have fully supported this project from the very beginning and it's exciting to see a prestigious university like Drexel step forward and be ready to share our dream by building a major university. A private university will be a tremendous asset for our community and is long overdue. Rich Pierucci Superintendent, Roseville City School District

400,000 without power, some evacuations in Mass.
BOSTON (AP) — Around 400,000 Massachusetts residents have no power, and many are dealing with at least two feet of snow as more snow keeps falling.
Many of the outages Saturday morning are on the South Shore, South Coast and Cape Cod, according to utilities National Grid and NStar.
In Quincy, Fire Deputy Gary Smith says power is out in most of the city. One neighborhood was evacuated Friday night, and another is being evacuated Saturday morning because of flooding concerns. Smith says about a dozen people are in a shelter set up at Quincy High School.
Boston and much of eastern Massachusetts are under a blizzard warning until 1 p.m. Saturday. A flood warning was in effect until noon Saturday for the state's east-facing coastline, with the worst conditions expected Saturday morning.

Searching for the (Sacred) Sound: Phil Lesh, the Grateful Dead, and Religion
Kaler, Michael, Journal of Religion and Popular Culture
In this paper, I will be discussing the Grateful Dead, a California-based rock band who were active for thirty years (from 1965 to 1995) and disbanded following the death of one of the founding members, lead guitarist Jerry Garcia. Associated in their origins with the San Francisco hippie scene (which they actually predate), the band released many studio and live recordings during their long career and toured regularly, earning an enduring reputation for the compelling, exploratory, and spontaneous music that they made in their live performances.
The Grateful Dead are noteworthy for their immense popular success, their longevity, and the extent and sophistication of their work, as well as the ecstatic behaviour and religious--I do not use that word lightly--devotion of some of their fans, the Deadheads. They are also extremely significant in the history of rock music for being one of the first bands to incorporate the practice of improvisation into their music in an extensive way. By this, I mean that it was integrated into their songs and into each band member's approach to playing, rather than being reserved for solo turns by lead players.
The period in which the Grateful Dead began was one in which rock music was coming of age--musicians and fans were taking the music more seriously as a form of art than had been the case before; non-fans too, establishment figures and academics among them, were taking it more seriously, rather than simply dismissing it as insignificant or dangerous, as had frequently been the case in the 1950s.
Overall, rock musicians were working at higher levels of virtuosity than ever before, and the field was opening up to influences from other fields--modal jazz; avant-garde "new music"; world, and especially Indian music--that valued improvisation and provided models that could be relevant to rock musicians. The importance of improvisation in the non-musical arts at this time was also influential--for a good overview, see Daniel Belgrad's The Culture of Spontaneity: Improvisation and the Arts in Postwar America. (1)
In short, it is no surprise that rock bands start publicly experimenting with improvisation at this time. I have been told by Lewis Melville, a Guelph-based improvising musician whose career began in the early 1960s, that rock musicians, including himself, had "always" been improvising privately, in rehearsal. (2) Be that as it may, it is certainly the case that the mid-1960s are associated with rock-based improvisation "going public."
There are however, numerous ways that improvisation can be incorporated into rock music, numerous different directions that bands could go, and have gone. One way, probably the most popular and obviously indebted to blues and mainstream jazz influences, was simply to extend solos, enabling members to "stretch out" in their playing. Another way was to draw from minimalist music (Terry Riley's In C premiered in 1964, for example) to create interlocked drones within which musicians could improvise and interact, an approach favoured by the Velvet Underground live and, later, by the German bands of the cosmische musik (a.k.a. "Krautrock") school.
The modal jazz approach, which came to popularity in the jazz world with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, but was especially developed by John Coltrane in the early 1960s, was another influential model. The new sonic possibilities offered by developments in instruments, amplifiers and effects in this period also opened up improvisational possibilities, particularly when allied with approaches to music deriving from the first generation of self-consciously free improvisers then coming of age--for example, the member of the British groups AMM, the Music Improvisation Company, and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble.
So while the development and incorporation of improvisational practice can be seen as being almost inevitable, this is not to say that any one approach would be equally inevitable. …

Playbill: The Broadhurst Theatre 1935
The show is "The Petrified Forest" and the star is Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart is part of the cast as well. The famous play by Robert Sherwood has two acts. Who's Who in the Cast has an extensive write-up for the author and all the principle players. The Playbill also contains articles of what to wear and more than a few ads of interest. As such its not a bad gift idea for the fashion student of today interested in styles of the past.
The cover features MME. CARMOUCHE, nee Francoise Vausgien, dite Jenny Vertpre'. A nineteenth century charmer, she was a Paris music-hall favorite at the age of nine. The print is from the collection of Mr. Jack Wilbur Mayer.
The program measures 9 1/4 x 6 3/4. It is completely together with no tears. The front does show dirt/age from exposure, but not at all detracting in my opinion.
The Broadhurst was located at 235 West 44th Street. It was designed by Herbert J. Krapp, who had worked directly with the Shubert brothers. It opened September 17th, 1917. It was built back to back to the Plymouth. It was meant to resemble the style of the neighboring Shubert and Booth theatres designed by Henry Herets. Krapp's work tends to have minimal ornamentation, a single balcony, and excellent sight-lines. It was named for George Howells Broadhurst, an Anglo-American dramatist who came to America in 1886. He wrote plays and managed theaters. A list of notable productions is as long as the theatre's life. It is still going.
Thank you for visiting Orphaned Treasures. I hope you enjoyed a bit of the history of the famous Broadhurst and that this history might will enhance your enjoyment of a Broadhurst production. This playbill is choice as it includes two legends of the stage and screen.

Very friendly and tried to accommodate what I needed. I had a good stay there would go back again.
The only thing was the television the channels didn't have a good connection couldn't see many channels. The little time that I was in the room.
It was really close to the beach and eateries!
The rooms smelt bad and I wasn't sure if the linen was clean. There was a mouse in my room and the rooms were disgusting as well as the Bathrooms: the Staff wasn't the friendliest as far as making accommodations after I made my complaints! Beds were not comfortable!
The only reason for giving 2 stars in the overall section is the location of the hotel on ocean drive and close to collins ave.
Very long ago, that I have seen SUCH a dirty room. Disgusting! And under the beds it was even worse. The beds were old and way too soft, the A/C was incredible loud. There are holes in the floor of the hall, where the wheels of your suitcase gets stuck. i can't imagine to stay longer than max. 1 night - if absolutely necessary.
Nothing! Stay away from here.
Absolutely terrible false advertising. They bait and switch you with more expensive rooms after they show you a scary stripped down room from the 70s upon arrival, they offer to "upgrade you" for a huge cost increase.

PRESS: The Garden Island (Coco Palms plan taking shape)
SOURCE: www.thegardenisland.com | Darin Moriki
LIHUE — Even before Tyler Greene and Chad Waters decided to purchase the long-vacant Coco Palms Hotel in Wailua, the investment partners said they heard stories from many residents and visitors about their personal connection to the hotel.
It was a factor that, Greene said, ultimately motivated them to create Coco Palms Hui, LLC and take on a project that many other developers had attempted to do in previous years, but eventually failed.
"One of the repeated messages that we keep hearing is that Coco Palms represented aloha," Greene said on Wednesday during a Kauai County Council Planning Committee meeting. "As we embark on this endeavor, we want to approach (the council) and the community and make it a very inclusive situation where we can all work together and hopefully bring back a minuscule scale of what Grace (Guslander) and the old employees there embodied."
One of the biggest challenges now, he said, is the council's proposal to repeal the last remaining building ordinance instituted after Hurricane Iniki. The ordinance allows for "a legally nonconforming structure to be reconstructed to its condition prior to Hurricane Iniki," according to county documents.
If that ordinance is taken off the books, the developers say they would have a much more difficult time rebuilding the iconic resort.
On Wednesday, a subcommittee of the County Council voted to defer action on the issue, meaning the timeline behind getting a proposed project off the ground is still in limbo.
"Everyone is working together and the Iniki ordinance, if revoked, would just make it that much more difficult for us," Chad Waters said.
His attorney, Michael Belles, said the existing Iniki ordinance exempts Coco Palms Hui plans from certain ordinances and allows the investment group to rebuild what was a non-conforming, grandfathered hotel.
Besides Coco Palms, County Planning Director Michael Dahilig said several other structures would be affected by the repeal of the last Iniki ordinance, including redevelopment efforts planned for the now vacant Hanapepe Theater.
The developers shared their project plans with the subcommittee, as well as some of the work that's already gone into it.
To date, Waters said Coco Palms Hui has spent about $500,000 on preparing entitlement plans for Coco Palms since the investment group acquired the property in August.
Waters said the investment group is also working to assemble a group of landscapers, prepare a hazardous material study and select either Starwood Hotels and Resorts or Hyatt Hotels and Resorts as the hotel's operator.
"It's important for us that, as we choose an operator, it is a soft brand," Greene said. "Coco Palms name and legacy, especially the cultural importance there, is something that we really want to try and embody as we go about this, so it's important any operator that we choose truly understands and supports that."
But those aren't the only changes planned for the hotel.
According to preliminary redevelopment plans, Waters said the number of units may decrease from 393, in the former hotel prior to Hurricane Iniki, to about 300 to 325.
Jennifer Luck, Kauai island director for the Hawaiian Island Land Trust, said the organization received $270,000 from the state Legislature in March to perform a feasibility study and conduct a community input process to determine the best use of the Coco Palms site.
These funds, now pending release from the state in January 2014, would be used to hire a consulting firm charged with finding experts to appraise the property, compile a hazardous materials report and assess the structural integrity of the existing buildings.
It is a process that, Luck said, could take up to a year to 18 months to complete.
Additional funding beyond that amount would primarily rely on other sources, such as private donors who have expressed a particular interest in the redevelopment of Coco Palms.
"There has been ... numerous attempts to develop this property over the years, so a lot of this work has already been done," Luck said. "We are privy to some of that work already, so we're hoping that investors or people involved with the project in the past will be able to send that information along the process to meet our timeline and save some costs."
Dirk Soma, a member of the newly-formed Coco Palms Cultural Advisory Committee, said he and the other committee members strongly support an extension of the ordinance, which would allow Coco Palms Hui developers to secure the proper permits and kickstart construction.
"This action will enable the developer to enhance Hawaii's hospitality industry by increasing Kauai's accommodations inventory, bring some much needed funding to our island and enable us to honor the legacy of the lands on which Coco Palms is built," Soma said.
Planning Committee members unanimously decided to defer the bill to the council's next committee meeting on Dec. 11 but not before many spoke about a collective desire for the Coco Palm's rebirth.
"This is a tough one," Councilman Tim Bynum said. "It's so compelling emotionally to want to bring back the Coco Palms. But if we say yes to this, these folks can proceed down a path where our options will be limited. Maybe that's what we'll decide, but I'm not personally ready to decide that today."
Two other ordinances instituted after Iniki, including an expedited building permit process and a fee exception for hurricane damage repairs, were repealed by the council in 1997.

And I've tried a lot. I have CFIDS caused by adrenal failure, I'm prone to fungal infections & always avoided New Chapter because of the yeast culture & the insanely high price. iHerb makes it more affordable so decided to try it. I have found relief with these from many symptoms including racing heart. These pills give me strength and energy and I'm no longer so depleted of life force. I'm putting a new order together, don't want to be without. I take about 6 per day, even on empty stomach, no problems there.

The results of Ukraine's presidential election, which will go to a runoff on February 7, show unhappiness with Viktor Yushchenko's government, but are also a mark of Ukraine's independence.
President Vladimir Putin has failed to deliver a coherent response to Russia's economic challenges while continuing to feed concerns about his intentions in Ukraine, says CFR's Stephen Sestanovich.

NATO's response to Russia's annexation of Crimea may require it to bolster eastern European members with both military and non-military actions, says expert Christopher S. Chivvis.

CustomerVincent from Hollywood, FL
Googled Whirlpool Microwave parts. Your site came up and gave drawings of the Microwave in parts.Based upon the drawings I was able to determine what I was missing and ordered it by speaking to a live representative. I was concerned dealing with a foreign country company, however everything turned out great within a reasonable time frame. I highly recommend this company, because their customer service is not in South Asia or the Philippines and they walk you through the process. Everything was placed in or on the microwave by hand. Simple and Sweet!

Ordered new part on Thursday night and new part arrived the following Monday. After unpacking I just snapped the new grille in place and the job was done. I was really impressed with the quick service that I received from PartSelect.
