Howard University (B. M. Composition)
As a classroom music instructor for seven years, I have tailored music studies for a broad range of students, from elementary to middle school ages; teaching basic music theory, notation, form, and the rudiments of how to play several instruments; such as piano, guitar, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, saxophones, double bass, and drums. I have also taught a continuing education guitar course for adults. I provided hands-on instrumental and vocal experiences coupled with music history from past to present; all designed in an age appropriate manner to foster and promote the gift of music. I taught my students about important musical figures and encouraged their appreciation of different musical genres. At Woods Academy, I was responsible for providing music for events via piano/keyboard accompaniment. Currently, I tutor theory, teach piano/guitar privately, record, and perform original compositions. I enjoy arranging and using Sibelius software for that purpose.
I am particularly fascinated by music theory and composition. Through my academic coursework at Bucknell and at Howard University where I received my undergraduate degree in music composition, I have applied this knowledge professionally throughout the years. I find it incredibly rewarding helping students reach a higher level of musicianship through the study of music theory.

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and have made it a curriculum unit as a teacher in independent middle schools for the past five years. I've also taught guitar to adult students at Prince George's Community College in Largo, Maryland in the Continuing Education Division. I focus on building technique, finger dexterity, musicality, creativity, and a basic understanding of music theory. I encourage my students to assert their personal musical interests in terms of their own guitar performance, but to also explore diverse genres of music, such as; jazz, classical, folk, bossa nova, Spanish flamenco, rhythm & blues, blues, and rock. I am a Music Composition graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C. My minor was piano performance. I am a multi-instrumentalist.
For the past six years, I taught music theory as part of a general music curriculum for independent schools consisting of primary and middle school students. I am a Music Composition graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C. I am passionate about music theory because it is so infused with the art of composing music. As an experienced music teacher I have developed methods to bring the abstract, esoteric nature of music theory into kinetic musical practices; which enable students to more fully absorb music theory concepts such as harmony, form, modulation, and parametric analysis.
I began playing piano at age 8. I went on to earn my B. M. Composition degree with a minor in piano performance from Howard University in Washington D. C. in 1988. Today I am a professional musician and artist. I have taught piano, drums and guitar privately for many years in addition to teaching general music, directing school bands and choirs in public and private schools for the past seven years.
I am a Music Composition graduate of Howard University in Washington, D.C. I've written hundreds of songs and pieces for various instrument/voice combinations. I appreciate many genres of music from Baroque to Contemporary Classical, jazz, pop, rock, and R & B/Funk. I have an album of originals called "Gainful Enjoyment."

Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."
Actor Stephen Hoye is a graduate of London's Guildhall and a veteran of London's West End. An award-winning audiobook narrator, he has won thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards and two prestigious APA Audie Awards.
"Owing both to Bradbury's storytelling skills and Audie Award winner Stephen Hoye's excellent rendering of the characters, these adventures will translate to listeners as shared memories. Highly recommended for all libraries and the many kids---no matter what age---they serve." ---Library Journal Audio Review

Ethical Limbo at the Washington Post
Mitchell Anderson | March 1, 2009
By Mitchell Anderson • Sunday, March 1, 2009 - 17:51
How low can they go? The ethical limbo dance at the Washington Post sank to impressive new depths this weekend with a column from the newspaper's ombudsman Andrew Alexander.
He finally weighed in on the George Will debacle and took a decidedly tepid approach to this raging scandal - essentially recounting what had happened and promising no fundamental change.
The Post's star columnist was caught in a series of egregious errors about his understanding of climate science (or lack thereof).
Specifically, Mr. Will led his readers to believe historical sea ice data indicated that climate change was all a big mistake – that ice coverage was about the same as 1979. In fact the researchers at that National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado said exactly the opposite: that vanishing arctic ice was strong evidence not just of global warming, but that we are edging into dangerous feedbacks involving melting permafrost.
Not only did George Will get it wrong once, he printed a second column reiterating his erroneous claims about the most important issue on Earth. Talk about chutzpah.
Alexander 's explanation of this mess states Will's piece was fact-checked by no less than four different individuals – none of whom ever contacted the research center that produced the data Will based his baseless claims on.
It wasn't till nine days later that the center finally got an email from anyone at the Post – long after the proverbial horse had strolled out the barn and trotted down the road. In the meantime, researchers at the National Snow and Ice Data Center issued their own blunt clarification:
"We do not know where George Will is getting his information, but our data shows that on February 15, 1979, global sea ice area was 16.79 million sq. km and on February 15, 2009, global sea ice area was 15.45 million sq. km. Therefore, global sea ice levels are 1.34 million sq. km less in February 2009 than in February 1979. This decrease in sea ice area is roughly equal to the area of Texas, California, and Oklahoma combined."
More disturbing perhaps is how little the Post has apparently learned from their credibility meltdown. Take this bland response from Post editor Fred Hiatt:
"It may well be that Will is drawing inferences from data that most scientists reject — so, you know, fine, I welcome anyone to make that point. But don't make it by suggesting that George Will shouldn't be allowed to make the contrary point. Debate him."
Ombudsman Alexander chimed in a similar sentiment at the end of his piece: "the Post can present a mix of respected and informed viewpoints".
What does that mean? That political pundits will continue to hold forth on scientific matters they know nothing about under the guise of "debate"?
To be clear, this is not just about one or two badly researched, or flat out wrong, articles. This is a fundamental issue of ethics and media that has been going on for decades.

The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbiltby T. J. Stiles
View All Available Formats & Editions
Founder of a dynasty, builder of the original Grand Central, creator of an impossibly vast fortune, Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt is an American icon. Humbly born on Staten Island during George Washington's presidency,/b>
A gripping, groundbreaking biography of the combative man whose genius and force of will created modern capitalism.
Founder of a dynasty, builder of the original Grand Central, creator of an impossibly vast fortune, Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt is an American icon. Humbly born on Staten Island during George Washington's presidency, he rose from boatman to builder of the nation's largest fleet of steamships to lord of a railroad empire. Lincoln consulted him on steamship strategy during the Civil War; Jay Gould was first his uneasy ally and then sworn enemy; and Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for president of the United States, was his spiritual counselor. We see Vanderbilt help to launch the transportation revolution, propel the Gold Rush, reshape Manhattan, and invent the modern corporation—in fact, as T. J. Stiles elegantly argues, Vanderbilt did more than perhaps any other individual to create the economic world we live...
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
The New York Times Book Review
The Washington Post
Stiles (Jesse James) presents a thoroughly researched, annotated, and illustrated account of the rise of the visionary Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) from boatman to railroad entrepreneur, revealing his difficult personal and family life, struggle to attain a place in New York society, and role in establishing the arguably individualistic, lightly regulated financial system that America has today. Stiles shows that as America moved from a communal, rural society to a competitive, industrial one, framed by the antebellum conflicts between laissez-faire Jacksonian and controlled-market Whig ideas, Vanderbilt came to exemplify the contradictions of the masters of competition who stifled rivals by later enacting monopolies similar to the kind they had first opposed. Instrumental in providing transportation to the California gold fields, consolidating railroad lines to make them among the first modern corporations, and helping to reconcile the post-Civil War North and South, the gruff Vanderbilt was often misjudged in his own time as well as by history. Stiles meticulously separates myths from facts in a book that compares favorably with David Nasaw's Andrew Carnegie. By unearthing and carefully cross-checking information and dispassionately revising our portrait of Vanderbilt, Stiles has produced a work highly recommended for readers interested in biography, popular business, New York State history, and transportation.

Read an Excerpt
The Islander
They came to learn his secrets. Well before the appointed hour of two o'clock in the afternoon on November 12, 1877, hundreds of spectators pushed into a courtroom in lower Manhattan. They included friends and relatives of the contestants, of course, as well as leading lawyers who wished to observe the forensic skills of the famous attorneys who would try the case. But most of the teeming mass of men and women—many fashionably dressed, crowding in until they were packed against the back wall—wanted to hear the details of the life of the richest man the United States had ever seen. The trial over the will of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the famous, notorious Commodore, was about to begin.
Shortly before the hour, the crowd parted to allow in William H. Vanderbilt, the Commodore's eldest son, and his lawyers, led by Henry L. Clinton. William, "glancing carelessly and indifferently around the room, removed his overcoat and comfortably settled himself in his chair," the New York Times reported; meanwhile his lawyers shook hands with the opposing team, led by Scott Lord, who represented William's sister Mary Vanderbilt La Bau. At exactly two o'clock, the judge—called the "Surrogate" in this Surrogate Court—strode briskly in from his chambers through a side door, stepped up to the dais, and took his seat. "Are you ready, gentlemen?" he asked. Lord and Clinton each declared that they were, and the Surrogate ordered, "Proceed, gentlemen."
Everyone who listened as Lord stood to make his opening argument knew just how great the stakes were. "the house of vanderbilt," the Times headlined its story the next morning. "a railroad prince's fortune. the heirs contesting the will. . . . a battle over $100,000,000." The only item in all that screaming type that would have surprised readers was the Times's demotion of Vanderbilt to "prince," since the press usually dubbed him the railroad king. His fortune towered over the American economy to a degree difficult to imagine, even at the time. If he had been able to sell all his assets at full market value at the moment of his death, in January of that year, he would have taken one out of every twenty dollars in circulation, including cash and demand deposits.
Most of those in that courtroom had lived their entire lives in Vanderbilt's shadow. By the time he had turned fifty, he had dominated railroad and steamboat transportation between New York and New England (thus earning the nickname "Commodore"). In the 1850s, he had launched a transatlantic steamship line and pioneered a transit route to California across Nicaragua. In the 1860s, he had systematically seized control of the railroads that connected Manhattan with the rest of the world, building the mighty New York Central Railroad system between New York and Chicago. Probably every person in that chamber had passed through Grand Central, the depot on Forty-second Street that Vanderbilt had constructed; had seen the enormous St. John's Park freight terminal that he had built, featuring a huge bronze statue of himself; had crossed the bridges over the tracks that he had sunk along Fourth Avenue (a step that would allow it to later blossom into Park Avenue); or had taken one of the ferries, steamboats, or steamships that he had controlled over the course of his lifetime. He had stamped the city with his mark—a mark that would last well into the twenty-first century—and so had stamped the country. Virtually every American had paid tribute to his treasury.
More fascinating than the fortune was the man behind it. Lord began his attack by admitting "that it seemed hazardous to say that a man who accumulated $100,000,000 and was famous for his strength of will had not the power to dispose of his fortune." His strength of will was famous indeed. Vanderbilt had first amassed wealth as a competitor in the steamboat business, cutting fares against established lines until he forced his rivals to pay him to go away. The practice led the New York Times, a quarter of a century before his death, to introduce a new metaphor into the American vernacular by comparing him to the medieval robber barons who took a toll from all passing traffic on the Rhine. His adventure in Nicaragua had been, in part, a matter of personal buccaneering, as he explored the passage through the rain forest, piloted a riverboat through the rapids of the San Juan River, and decisively intervened in a war against an international criminal who had seized control of the country. His early life was filled with fistfights, high-speed steamboat duels, and engine explosions; his latter days were marked by daredevil harness races and high-stakes confrontations.
It was this personal drama that moved that crowd of spectators into the courtroom eleven months after his death, but more thoughtful observers mulled over his larger meaning. Vanderbilt was an empire builder, the first great corporate tycoon in American history. Even before the United States became a truly industrial country, he learned to use the tools of corporate capitalism to amass wealth and power on a scale previously unknown, creating enterprises of unprecedented size. "He has introduced Caesarism into corporate life," wrote Charles Francis Adams Jr. "Vanderbilt is but the precursor of a class of men who will wield within the state a power created by it, but too great for its control. He is the founder of a dynasty."
Adams did not mean a family dynasty, but a line of corporate chiefs who would overshadow democratic government itself. Rockefeller, Carnegie, Gould, Morgan—all were just beginning their careers when Vanderbilt was at his height. They respected and followed his example, though they would be hard-pressed to match it. Few laws had constrained him; few governments had exceeded his influence. In the 1850s, his personal role in Central America had been more important than that of the White House or the State Department. In 1867, he had stopped all trains into New York City from the west to bring the New York Central Railroad to its knees. In 1869, he personally had abated a panic on Wall Street that threatened to ring in a depression.
His admirers saw him as the ultimate meritocrat, the finest example of the common man rising through hard work and ability. To them, he symbolized America's opportunities. His critics called him grasping and ruthless, an unelected king who never pretended to rule for his people. Still worse, they saw him as the apex of a vulgar new culture that had cast off the republican purity of the Revolution for the golden calf of wealth. "You seem to be the idol of . . . a crawling swarm of small souls," Mark Twain wrote in an open letter to Vanderbilt, "who . . . sing of your unimpor- tant private habits and sayings and doings, as if your millions gave them dignity."
Perhaps there were those who understood that Vanderbilt's true significance was more complex, even contradictory. How could it not be? His life spanned a period of breathtaking changes, from the days of George Washington to those of John D. Rockefeller (with whom he made deals). He began his career in a rural, agricultural, essentially colonial society in which the term "businessman" was unknown; he ended it in a corporate, industrial economy. Neither the admirers nor the critics of his later years had witnessed his role during the tumultuous era of the early republic and the antebellum period. They could not see that Vanderbilt had spent most of his career as a radical force. From his beginnings as a teenage boatman before the War of 1812, he had led the rise of competition as a virtue in American culture. He had disrupted the remnants of the eighteenth-century patricians, shaken the conservative merchant elite, and destroyed monopolies at every step. His infuriated opponents had not shared his enthusiasm for competition; rather, the wealthy establishment in that young and limited economy saw his attacks as destructive. In 1859, one had written that he "has always proved himself the enemy of every American maritime enterprise," and the New York Times condemned Vanderbilt for pursuing "competition for competition's sake." Those on the other end of the spectrum had celebrated the way he had expanded transportation, slashed fares, and punished opponents who relied on government monopolies or subsidies. To Jacksonian Democrats, who championed laissez-faire as an egalitarian creed, he had epitomized the entrepreneur as champion of the people, the businessman as revolutionary.
But the career that started early ended late, and the revolutionary completed his days as emperor. As he had expanded his railroad domain from the benighted New York & Harlem—annexing the Hudson River, the New York Central, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, and the Canada Southern—he had seemed not a radical but a monopolist. His role in the Erie War of 1868, with its epic corruption of public officials, had made him seem not a champion but an enemy of civic virtue. He played a leading part in the creation of a new entity, the giant corporation, that would dominate the American economy in the decades after his death. The political landscape had changed as well. With the rise of large railroads and the expansion of federal power during the Civil War, radicals began to think of the government as a possible counterweight to corporate might. Vanderbilt had remained as committed to laissez-faire as ever; as he told the newspapers more than once, his guiding principle was "to mind my own business," and all he asked from government was to be left alone. He never acknowledged that, as Charles F. Adams Jr. wrote, the massive corporations he commanded gave him power to rival that of the state, and that he became the establishment against which populists armed themselves with government regulation.
Probably no other individual made an equal impact over such an extended period on America's economy and society. Over the course of his sixty-six-year career he stood on the forefront of change, a modernizer from beginning to end. He vastly improved and expanded the nation's transportation infrastructure, contributing to a transformation of the very geography of the United States. He embraced new technologies and new forms of business organization, and used them to compete so successfully that he forced his rivals to follow his example or give up. Far ahead of many of his peers, he grasped one of the great changes in American culture: the abstraction of economic reality, as the connection faded between the tangible world and the new devices of business, such as paper currency, corporations, and securities. With those devices he helped to create the corporate economy that would define the United States into the twenty-first century. Even as he demonstrated the creative power of a market economy, he also exacerbated problems that would never be fully solved: a huge disparity in wealth between rich and poor; the concentration of great power in private hands; the fraud and self-serving deception that thrives in an unregulated environment. One person cannot move the national economy single-handedly—but no one else kept their hands on the lever for so long or pushed so hard.
The spectators in that courtroom, then, could mark Vanderbilt down as complicated indeed, even before the first witness spoke. Yet what pulled them there was perhaps not so much his national significance as his strange, powerful character, his mysterious personal life. Public rumor depicted a home wracked by intrigue, spiritualist séances, and Vanderbilt's controversial sponsorship of the feminist Victoria Woodhull and her voluptuous sister, Tennie C. Claflin. What the public did not see was his emotional complexity: his patient business diplomacy, his love for his first and second wives (as well as his selfishness with them), and his conflicting feelings about his often difficult children—especially Cornelius Jeremiah, who struggled with epilepsy and an addiction to gambling. Contemporaries and posterity alike often would overlook the very human, even sympathetic, side of the imperious Commodore, attracted instead to the most salacious, scandalous, and overblown reports.
It was his final act that brought everyone into that courtroom, an act that combined the personal and the corporate. He had built something that he meant to last and remain in the hands of his own bloodline—to found a dynasty in the most literal sense. To that end, he had drafted a will that left 95 percent of his estate to his eldest son, William. William's sister Mary meant to break that dynasty by breaking the will, to force a distribution of the estate equally among the ten surviving children. Would she succeed? Each side would fight to define Vanderbilt; each side would seek out its own answer to the enigma of a man who left few letters and no diaries. Lord began to speak, and the crowd bent forward to listen, straining to learn who the Commodore really was.
A CHILD, IT IS SAID, CHANGES EVERYTHING. For Phebe Hand Vanderbilt, another child meant more of the same. In May 1794, during the last month of her fourth pregnancy, her first three children, Mary, Jacob, and Charlotte, ran about their humble house. Knowing the Vanderbilt tradition, she could expect many more to follow the unborn infant in her womb. Continuity, not change, defined everything about her existence, an existence that differed little from that of her parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents. She sat in wooden furniture hand-cut from hand-hewn lumber. She wore clothes hand-sewn from hand-spun wool. She washed cups and plates that had been spun on a wheel, and bottles blown by a craftsman's mouth. Looking out a window, she would see hand-built wagons harnessed to teams of horses. Peering a little farther, she could watch the sloops and ships that sailed by the shore just steps from her door. And at night she would light the room with a mutton-fat candle or a whale-oil lamp.
Phebe lived in a close wooden world made by human hands, powered by winds and horse and human strength, clustered at the water's edge. Most of the technology she knew had been first imagined thousands of years before. Even the newest inventions of her time—the clock, the printing press, the instruments of navigation—dated back to the early Renaissance. The "Brown Bess" muskets stored in U.S. arsenals and carried by British redcoats had been designed in the 1690s, a full century before. Revolutions were a matter for politics; the constructed world merely crept ahead.
Phebe lived in Port Richmond, that most ancient kind of community—a farming village, its air pungent with the smell of animal manure and open fires, its unpaved paths sticky with mud from the season's rains. It sat on the northern edge of Richmond County, better known as Staten Island, a sprawling, sparsely occupied landscape of not quite four thousand souls who still governed their affairs with town meetings. The islanders tilled the steep green hillsides, let pigs wander and forage for themselves, and built their houses close to the soft, swampy shores that crumbled into the kills—the tidal creeks that wrapped around the island's edges. Staten Island sat like a stopper in the mouth of New York Harbor, separated from Long Island by the two-mile-long Narrows, where the ocean decanted into the bay. West of Staten Island stretched the mainland of New Jersey, and across the length of the harbor sat Manhattan, a long and narrow island that extended between the deep East and Hudson (or North) rivers like a natural pier of bedrock.
An island is defined by its edges. Phebe looked across the water for her husband's return whenever he was gone, until he sailed up in his boat and tied it fast. His name was Cornelius. It was a solid Dutch name, as was Vanderbilt, and both were common around New York Bay. The first of his family had arrived in America in 1650, when Jan Aertsen Van Der Bilt settled in the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. In 1715, long after the English had conquered the province and renamed it New York, one of Jan's descendants had crossed the water to sparsely populated Staten Island. That one move was change enough, it seems, for the family that dispersed and multiplied there. The ensuing generations lived out their lives as farmers or tavern keepers, unmoved by the climactic North American war with France in the 1750s, the outbreak of revolution two decades later, the British occupation of their island, the triumph of independence, the ratification of the Constitution, and the swearing in of President George Washington in Manhattan.

T. J. Stiles writes well. The research is evident and the subject matter is presented in a style that is easily digested. Cornelius Vanderbilt comes alive in these pages as a complex individual, with principled attitudes towards his adversaries, colleagues, friends, even his own family members. This biography ranks with Ron Chernow's tomes on Morgan and Rockefeller, and David Nasaw's biography of Carnegie. In fact, the four books, taken together, give a very solid and informative narrative of the early stages of capitalist development in the United States. Vanderbilt's construction of a vertically integrated corporation, first in shipping and later in railroads, provided a blueprint for the "Robber Barons" that followed in other industries. Clearly Vanderbilt blazed a trail in corporate development that was in many ways duplicated by Rockefeller, Carnegie and many others in their quest for massive accumulations of wealth. It would be difficult to understand modern corporate structures, with their interlocking directorates and complex influence throughout society, without knowing the history of corporate development in the United States. The book is also successful in showing Vanderbilt's human qualities as son, husband, father, and member of his community. He cared deeply about how he was perceived by members of his own class. As a newly arrived "upper cruster", he was at first not easily welcomed by the "old money". This changed over time, giving him great satisfaction as his exorbitant wealth and obvious success became indisputable. Taken as a whole this biography contributes substantially to a well rounded understanding of late 19th century American history.
This is a wonderfully researched book of the life of Cornelius Vanderbilt and his rise, through hard work and imagination, to one of the richest men in America. Vanderbilt's life took in the launch of the steamship, a route across Nicaragua (transporting passengers and gold) during the Gold Rush, the establishment of our railroad system. A man with no formal education, he rose to the top and left a legacy for future generations.
I had no idea how crucial Cornelius Vanderbilt was, and remains, to the American idea. Did YOU know that this storied name Vanderbilt, started life as the lower middle-class son (merchant class) of a Staten Island farmer cum ferry boat captain? If you didn't know that, you may also not have known that Cornelius (I feel like we're on a 1st name basis after reading this book) literally invented: - Modern public transportation (think ferry boats, railways) - Modern Finance (think Wall Street) - Modern Commerce and Capitalism (think about underwriting both the above and making capital markets) Vanderbilt invented the genre of multi-millionaire setting the stage for ALL who came after, including the likes of John D. Rockefeller; Carnegie; Frick and a slew of less-desirable robber-barons of the 19th century). The author gets a tad into the weeds in most chapters as he describes in excruciating detail some of the less interesting aspects of a particular ferry, railroad or wall street deal - but once I felt myself drifting - found that I could migrate to the end of the chapter and still get most of the great content from each chapter. T.J.-- note to self: let the editor do his or her job on your next fantastic journey!
Amazing how an individual could amass one of the largest fortunes of his day through shipping. Vanderbilt started with sail boats running between Staten Island (the forgotten borough?) to Manhattan. But, he took advantage of newer technology (steam and paddle wheelers), mastered it, pushed it; then added in relentless focus on what the customer wanted (imagine that...) low costs, fast transits, multiple routes. Vanderbilt was personally strong and a classic example of taking advantage of opportunities and maximizing them. A good (long) read. Nicely ties in the surrounding historical events (nothing occurs in a vacuum). Has some interesting lessons for today (lobbying, shady deals, etc). Curious how Vanderbilt treated his wife, children, in-laws, friends, end enemies. All of which could be mixed in their roles.
Robber baron Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt emerges from T.J. Stiles's biography as a captivating character and a ferocious competitor. Nineteenth-century America's most powerful tycoon had an imposing presence. At more than 200 pounds and six feet tall (two inches taller than the average American male at the time), Vanderbilt stood ramrod straight. A ferocious street fighter in his youth, he remained hale and hearty into his 80s. As a young steamboat skipper, Vanderbilt often beat his business rivals senseless and took their customers. Stiles tracks Vanderbilt's remarkable business career, from his rowdy youth and family life to his later achievements as America's founding capitalist, king of steamers, trains and international shipping. getAbstract recommends this fascinating, colorful book to anyone who wants to learn about the birth of the modern corporation through the life of its grandstanding father.
"The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt" is an impressive and gripping biography, wonderfully evocative of the quiet man with enormous power, influence and wealth. At the time of his death he owned five percent of America's wealth. Even though he was known as the king of the railroad, he was much more than that: he was the king of the steamboats and ships, and the king of industries and corporations as well. He built the original Grand Central Terminal in New York, and also the mighty New York Central Railroad system connecting New York with Chicago. This tycoon also had his share of pains, disappointments, sadness, and regrets that life offers all mortals. His son Cornelius Jeremiah's addiction to gambling and also the affliction of epilepsy greatly distressed him. Written in simple and lucid prose, the book is entertaining to the very end and highly readable: "Vanderbilt was an empire builder, the first great corporate tycoon in American history. Even before the United States became a truly industrial country, he learned to use the tools of corporate capitalism to amass wealth and power on a scale previously unknown, creating enterprises of unprecedented size." Mr. T. J. Stiles has written a marvelous biography of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Reading this book was a joy. Yesh Prabhu, Plainsboro, NJ
Its only rival would be that of "Titan the life of John D Rockefeller". Great book for anyone that wants to know how one man can shape a nation.
Great book. I took forever to finish it, but there's times where you're just really caught up in this and there's times where it drags on. Nonetheless it's a great book. Vanderbilt sounds like an inspiring person.
Simply a wonderful allinclusive book on the founder of the dynasty and what he accomplished in his lifetime.

Blenheim Ginger Ale
If your idea of ginger ale is the (bleep) you get at the grocery, Blenheims will open your eyes! I used to drive to South of the Border after the owner of SoB saved Blenheims from extinction. Worth the drive, but even better when I can get it at my favorite food spot! Thanks!
I\'ve been drinking Blenheim ginger all for years. Before the very small company was bought by South of the Border (at least that is what I was told), I used to get it through my brother who lived in Wadesboro, NC. Now I pick up a several cases or more each year at South of the Border when I drive south on I-95 to the Sun \'n Fun fly-in in Lakeland, Florida. A real treat. The \"hot\" version is really, sinus-clearing hot and very gingery.

Most of the cross platform borkage has died down. Header rollover now renders in IE, the floats need no more futzing, and the template instability in the CSS delivery is now fixed by using a conditional in the header.php. I am just fixing up the dynamic content for auto return of the *Lead Story* etc. Plus the shorties. Thanks for the kind words. If I get impatient I might do a *designers download*. :)
Great work Root!
Going a bit off topic here, this may be useful.
With this, you'll be able to apply an offset to your second dynamic loop so that it doesn't also return the lead article.
Thanks. That is we are headed next. But WP obviously only has one global variable.

WACO (April 2, 2013)—A preliminary autopsy report sheds little light on the identity of a badly decomposed body that a resident discovered Friday in brush in Waco Creek near the 400 block of South 15th Street, police said Monday.
The body is that of a white male who was 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-4,but whose age could not be determined, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.
No obvious signs of trauma were found on the body, which had no scars or tattoos, Swanton said.
It's not clear how long the body had been in the water, Swanton said.
A resident saw an arm sticking out of the brush and called 911 Friday.

Neocon Adelman: If Iraq Doesn't Improve By July 4, 'I Will Say It Is Hopeless'
Kenneth Adelman, "a lifelong neocon activist and Pentagon insider who served on the Defense Policy Board until 2005," was a prominent advocate of the Iraq war. He famously claimed in a February 2002 Washington Post op-ed, "I believe demolishing Hussein's military power and liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk."
Two months ago, Adelman delivered a mea culpa in an interview with Vanity Fair. "I just presumed that what I considered to be the most competent national-security team since Truman was indeed going to be competent. They turned out to be among the most incompetent teams in the post-war era. Not only did each of them, individually, have enormous flaws, but together they were deadly, dysfunctional."
This week, at a Denver City Club luncheon, Adelman said he sees the light at the end of the tunnel:
Adelman is not optimistic of a positive outcome to the American occupation of Iraq. … He said if by July 4th there is no progress made, "then I will say it is hopeless."
Nevertheless, Adelman said President Bush's escalation strategy is "worth a try," even though its "chances of it succeeding are very low." He also refused to express regret for promoting the war. "I expected an apology from you today," said one attendee "who identified himself as a former intelligence officer for the United States Army during the Vietnam War."

Hello, i'm trying to center the menu under the header - any advice?
My site is jackandg.com
Thank you very much.
Hello, i'm trying to center the menu under the header - any advice?
My site is jackandg.com
Thank you very much.
Hi, Jackandg, put this style.css line into your child theme:
.main-navigation ul.nav-menu {
text-align: center;
Your site looks good, I can imagine later it will be even better ;)
Thank you Thomas! - I created my child theme, and added the line. works perfectly!
Hi Thomas, i'm sorry - one more question.
before i created the child theme, I had removed a line of php in order to center the Logo "jack + g". In content-page.php (i think), I removed a line that looked like this:

<?php the_title(); ?>

When I removed the line it centered the logo. Next I created a child theme, added your line of code, and everything was centered. I then noticed that when I make the window smaller the jack and g logo was not reducing in size while everything else was. So I created a logo that is 400 pixels in with as opposed to the previous 960 width logo. Now my logo is no longer centered.
Can you help? Thank you.
You don't need to remove those lines from header.php. You can disable site title and descr. from WP admin Appearance/Header and unselect "Show header text with your image"
To center logo add CSS rule to your style.css:
#site-logo {
float: none;
And I think bigger logo (initial version) looked better ;)
I suggest you to use FireFox Inspector to see what styles are affecting the elements:
You can activate it with: CTRL+SHIFT+I
and select with the mouse element you need.
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the tip on the firefox inspector! I had a chance to spend some time working with it - I think this will be very helpful!
- Just to make sure i'm doing this right, is it ok to copy and paste lines that I want to edit into my child theme?
If you edit CSS, then yes, you would copy just the things you want to change. If it's a file, then you would copy whole file, eg. header.php and then edit it.
Just remember about media queries (see readme.txt), because this theme is mobile-first.
I will include sample CSS file with the next version.
You also might want to play with z-index css property of gallery elements, because they cover menu drop-down at: http://jackandg.com/earrings
Otherwise site progress is nice :)
Looks like you have already fixed that!
Thank you!
Just found the css line on the forum for the meta slider plugin (:
.main-navigation li a, .main-navigation li {
z-index: 9999;
You mentioned the theme is mobile first, so I looked at the site on my phone. The menu and "Jack + G" logo is a completely different format. Could you help me fix that? -Sorry, i'm pretty new at this.
The mobile menu is designed to be like this. You can change the browser window and you will see how media queries are changing the web site look depending on the size.
I plan to revise mobile menu and make it more like in Underscores theme.
If you want to display logo in certain browser sizes, play with CSS ;)
You can add:
footer#colophon {
min-height: 120px;
Or some other size in px, to make the radial background color not to be cut-off.
Also if you don't want the menu item Collections to be a link, but just the container for sub-menu items, create a Link menu item (put anything like aaa in link address box) then when it is created, edit it and remove the link address. Hope you will understand what I'm trying to tell :)))

I gave my out-of-box impression of the Acer Aspire One 722 last week. It's completely unacceptable out of the box, and adequate when you do some basic cleanup on it.
Now I've installed an Intel SSD in one and clean-installed Windows, and I'm much more impressed with it. Continue reading Speeding up an Acer Aspire One 722

Paddington Reservoir Gardens is an award-winning venue in the City of Sydney's east that has been completely transformed from its former life. Hailed as a blend of the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Paddington Reservoir Gardens opened in its current form in 2009. Stroll through the immaculate gardens and wide boardwalks. There are plenty of places to sit and have a rest. The roof-top features a stunning sunken garden, and vibrant graffiti art has been preserved in the eastern chamber. Hang around until the sun sets if you can, as the lighting detail transforms the space once again. Paddington Reservoir Gardens won the Australian Award for Urban Design in 2009. The public space has also received the seal of approval from the ABC's Art Nation (featured in the video on this page) and Gardening Australia.

I'm using Mini Loops 1.1.1
This could be related to this previous topic.
maximum_age=1 in shortcode or in widget, I get today's but also yesterday's posts. Can't get if this is a feature or a little bug.
In no way I'm a php programmer (so probably there are more elegant ways), but a little modify to line 149 in helpers.php did the trick:
$mini_loops_minimum_date = date( 'Y-m-d', time() - ( $maximum_age * 24 * 60 * 60 ) +86400 );
As you see, I simply added
+86400 i.e. one day expressed in seconds (this is for the casual reader).
Now, by setting
maximum_age to 1, my miniloop seems to shows exactly what I want, i.e. only posts published today, skipping those posted yesterday.
Please let me know if what I described (and coarsely corrected) was a bug, or if I'm missing something.
One thing I couldn't have figured out yet is if "today" means "current date" or "last 24 hours". "Current date" would be my fav option.
By the way, thanks for your plugin!

Mahtook's RBI double regains lead for LSU
June, 24, 2009
OMAHA, Neb. -- LSU freshman Mikie Mahtook, who had the game-winning hit in the 11th inning of the Tigers' 7-6 win over Texas on Monday night, delivered another big hit in Wednesday night's deciding game of the CWS championship series.
Mahtook hit Texas reliever Brandon Workman's full-count pitch into the right-center gap for a double, scoring Jared Mitchell from second for a 5-4 lead in the top of the sixth inning at Rosenblatt Stadium. Mitchell, whose three-run homer put LSU ahead 3-0, led off the inning with a walk and moved to second on a passed ball.
Mahtook's RBI double chased Workman, who had been pretty solid the previous three innings. He was replaced by Austin Dicharry.

Boundary conditions of the second-order differential equation and the Riccati equation

The conversion of a second-order linear ordinary differential equation with variable coefficients into a Riccati equation depends on whether the second-order problem is an initial-value or two-point boundary-value problem. The distinction is critical in determining the initial condition for the Riccati equation. If the second-order problem is an initial-value problem, the choice of the Riccati transformation depends on whether a zero initial condition for the function or its derivative is specified. If the problem is a two-point boundary-value problem, special methods must be introduced as described in the paper.

About Alessandro Acquisti's TED Talk
Behavioral economist Alessandro Acquisti studies how everyday decisions contribute to blurring the line between our public and private lives.
About Alessandro Acquisti
Behavioral economist Alessandro Acquisti examines the paradox of privacy in an age when people freely disclose public information. He is a professor of information technology and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University.
His team's studies on facial recognition software showed that it can connect an anonymous human face to an online name, and a Facebook account in about 3 seconds. Other work shows how easy it can be to find a U.S. citizen's Social Security number using public data.
