The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs will sponsor Jazz at Lincoln Center's first ever South African cultural exchange program with the Field Band Foundation to produce performances and educational events in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.
The Field Band Foundation uses brass and drum corps marching music to engage its members and make them, their families, classmates and audiences aware of the importance of HIV prevention. Jazz at Lincoln Center is partnering with the organization to employ jazz in this manner as well as teach the organization's members and instructors the New Orleans-style marching band jazz tradition.
In May 2006, Wycliffe Gordon, leading the Jazz at Lincoln Center Septet, and distinguished teaching jazz musicians, will travel throughout South Africa for a 10-day performance/ education tour of the country. In each of the three cities, Jazz at Lincoln Center will also produce a formal concert in a large venue to raise awareness of the Field Band Foundation's HIV/AIDS education and prevention program. They will also provide jazz master classes for township residents.
Prior to setting off on its tour of South Africa, the septet will also perform a free afternoon concert on Tuesday, May 9, at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola in Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center. The Field Band Foundation's musician/instructors will teach Wycliffe Gordon and the other septet members about traditional South African township music so that Jazz at Lincoln Center can produce cross-cultural artistic and educational programming in New York.
In recent years, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra has produced concerts celebrating the connections between jazz and the musical traditions of Brazil (samba, bossa nova), Spain (flamenco), Argentina (tango) and Ghana (Ghanaian drumming). In response to the exchange experience and the relationships that are forged with South African musicians, JALC will plan innovative programming that informs and entertains audiences in the U.S.
Members of the touring group:
Wycliffe Gordon enjoys an extraordinary career as a performer, conductor, composer, arranger and educator, receiving high praise from audiences and critics alike. He tours the world performing hard-swinging, straight-ahead jazz for audiences ranging from heads of state to elementary school students.
His trombone playing, which mixes powerful, intricate runs with sweet notes extended over clean melodies, has been universally hailed by jazz critics. He is rapidly becoming one of America's most persuasive and committed music educators. Currently serving on the faculty of the newly-established Jazz Studies Program at The Juilliard School, he also is the Artist-In-Residence at the School of Music at Michigan State University. His work with young musicians and audiences from elementary schools to universities all over the world is extensive and includes master classes, clinics, workshops, children's concerts and lectures — powerful evidence of his unique ability to relate musically to people of all ages.
Herlin Riley was born into a musical family in New Orleans, LA, and began playing the drums at age three. He was a member of Ahmad Jamal's band from 1984 through 1987, and has performed and/or recorded with Dianne Reeves, Marcus Roberts, Harry Connick, Jr. and George Benson, among others. In the spring of 1988, he joined Wynton Marsalis's septet, with which he toured and recorded for six years. He has performed regularly with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra since it began touring in 1992 and has released two recordings as a leader, "Cream of the Crescent" in 2005 and "Watch What You're Doing" in 2000. Both of these albums feature fellow Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra members.
Shannon Powell, a drummer, who also shows off his talent as a vocalist, is most assuredly a product of his environment. The always-smiling Powell digs into his huge bag of resources and influences acquired through a lifetime of experiencing the music scene in the heart of New Orleans. He's at once a traditional jazz and modern jazz musician, who early-on worked with banjoist/guitarist Danny Barker as well as pianist Ellis Marsalis. Powell undoubtedly received his widest recognition during his six years in Harry Connick Jr.'s band, that resulted in two platinum records. The rhythm and blues scene also utilized Powell's huge abilities and he boasts recordings with vocalists Johnny Adams and Tommy Ridgley.
Mark Braud was born in New Orleans and began playing the trumpet at the age of 12. He began his professional career at age 15, playing with some of the best New Orleans brass bands. He attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, a nationally-known high school dedicated to educating students in the fine arts, with alumni including such jazz greats as Harry Connick, Jr., Branford Marsalis and Nicholas Payton, to name a few. In 2001, he joined the Harry Connick Jr. Big Band and still currently a member. In 2002, he was in the Broadway production of "One Mo' Time" where he received critical acclaim. He currently leads his own jazz band (The New Orleans Jazz Giants) and brass band (The Basin Street Brass Band).
Roderick Paulin, grew up immersed in the New Orleans brass-band tradition. He began studying saxophone when he was in the fourth grade and soon started performing with his father as the youngest member of the 'Doc' Paulin Brass Band. In 1990, Kermit Ruffins invited Paulin to join ReBirth Brass Band that was reviving and transforming second-line music with its willingness to incorporate urban, funk and hip-hop into the mix. With ReBirth, Paulin was able to explore his interest in funk and began composing and arranging for the band. He went on to form his own soulful funk band. For now, he admits to being in a "heavy funk" phase, but, with his vast experience, there is no telling what will follow.
Doreen Ketchens has been called the "Queen of Jazz", "the Female Louis Armstrong" and "Miss Satchmo" in every place she has performed. She is a rising star whose brilliance shines forth from the purest, most profound and living sources of New Orleans jazz. She is the leader of Doreen's Jazz New Orleans, a group whose interest lies in spreading the culture and traditional music of New Orleans all over the world.
Lawrence H. Ketchens' talents for playing his tuba has made him a powerful soloist as well as a great bass-man. He plays for the ensemble Doreen's Jazz New Orleans, a group whose interest lies in spreading the culture and traditional music of New Orleans all over the world.
Jazz at Lincoln Center is a not-for-profit arts organization dedicated to jazz. With the world-renowned Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra and a comprehensive array of guest artists, Jazz at Lincoln Center advances a unique vision for the continued development of the art of jazz by producing a year-round schedule of performance, education and broadcast events for audiences of all ages.
Jazz at Lincoln Center, with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, will produce The Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad, a program that compiles international tours that bring jazz and urban music groups to destinations throughout the world each year. The theme for 2006 tour is "Latin Jazz" and, in addition to performances, musicians will conduct educational programming such as master classes, lectures and radio and television appearances.
All groups will have an opportunity to perform at free public performances at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola and in Washington D.C. prior to the tours. Other Jazz at Lincoln Center productions include concerts, national and international tours, residencies, weekly national radio and television programs, recordings, publications, an annual high school jazz band competition and festival, a band director academy, a jazz appreciation curriculum for children, advanced training through the Juilliard Institute for Jazz Studies, music publishing, children's concerts, lectures, adult education courses and student and educator workshops.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis, Chairman of the Board Lisa Schiff, President and CEO Derek E. Gordon, Executive Director Katherine E. Brown, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center board and staff, Jazz at Lincoln Center will produce hundreds of events during its 2005-2006 season. In October 2004, Jazz at Lincoln Center opened Frederick P. Rose Hall, the first-ever performance, education and broadcast facility devoted to jazz.

The Field Band Foundation in South Africa works to create life opportunities for the youth of South Africa through the discipline and creativity of music and movement. The Field Band Foundation is a non-profit in South Africa that brings together poverty-stricken youth by giving them the opportunity to learn and perform music and dance skills –- in the tradition of marching drum and bugle corps in the United States.
However, there is much more to the FBF than music and dance. The youth participate in a multi-module HIV prevention program that teaches them to separate misinformation from facts about the disease and how it is spread. AIDS kills 1 in 3 persons in SA and deaths caused by AIDS are as high as 40% in some of the townships in which the FBF works. Many of the youth become "peer counselors" that take on the responsibility of teaching other youth or family members in their townships that are not directly associated with the FBF.
Through the peer counselor program, thousands of people have access to accurate information on how HIV is transmitted and how to prevent and reduce the spread of HIV within their communities.
The FBF also promotes employment opportunities through a minimum of 30 paid performances per band per year. Field Band alumni who age out of the field bands also have employment opportunities to become mentors or teachers for a band or an internal staff member.
Finally, the programs teach gender equality, how to live in a just and civil society (11 years after the end of apartheid), self-discipline, teamwork and how to prepare to be a young adult in a country that is rife with opportunity. The FBF currently serves 3,600 youth from 133 townships across South Africa.

Factory closure is 'national crisis'
The assembly's rural affairs committee chief has conceded that the threatened closure of a mid Wales factory is the equivalent of 25,000 jobs losses in Cardiff.
Glyn Davies, the Conservative AM for Mid and West Wales, said the feared shutdown of the aluminium castings firm, KTH of Llanidloes, needs to be taken as seriously as the shutdown of the Corus steel plants in south Wales which saw around 3,000 people laid off.
His comments come as the stunned staff at the company come to terms with the decision to halt work at the site with the loss of 250 jobs.
News of the closure has come out of the blue as the company - which blames the prediction of continued financial losses - was recruiting people up until two weeks ago.
Mr Davies, a former chairman of the Development Board for Rural Wales, said the expected shutdown was a body blow for whole economy for the upper Severn Valley because of the difficulty in attracting alternative employment to the rural area.
He described the company's decision as "odd" given the Welsh Development Agency earmarking £1m for regeneration schemes in the area.
And he called on the Welsh Assembly Government's economic development Minister, Andrew Davies, to recognise the situation as a "national crisis" deserving the same attention as the Corus closures.
He said: "I really do feel incredibly pessimistic about the whole situation.
"The suddenness and the strangeness of this decision suggests to me that it's probably final.
"All you can do is have the {Welsh Assembly} Government put the same focus on Llanidloes as it did on Llanwern.
"It's difficult, there isn't a development board for rural Wales now - I don't thing the WDA for all their good efforts can put anything like the same focus on rural Wales.
"I don't think they understand they nature of the problem in rural Wales.
"But you've got to have the {Welsh Assembly} Government involved - Andrew Davies has got to become involved, Rhodri Morgan has got to take the same personal interest he did after the steelworks closure.
"And it's got to be recognised as a national crisis, it's a real challenge for the assembly government."
The factory - which makes products for cars -survived a closure threat almost exactly two years ago with help from the Welsh Development Agency.
Workers arriving for the lunchtime change of shift on Tuesday had no idea of the announcement and were shocked to hear the factory would close within three months.
Powys is not listed as an Objective One area so that source of European grant aid is not a viable option for the region.
Nor is Llanidloes an assisted area - which means that it does not qualify for regional assistance.

Buy Gender Neutral
Exactly as it sounds, buying gender neutral clothing means that your son and daughter (or even future ones) can share the same duds. For example, babies can wear onesies in neutral colors like yellow or navy. Kids can share items like pajama pants, winter gear, raincoats, tennis shoes, and even sweaters.

Nice! So who's the maker and why did you blur it out.
Nice find
Make is "Villager" from "Liz Clairborne" Company.
Hey Manny,
I have some extra parts lying around if you still need a few to finish off your "Budget Fett"
But also what Thrift store did you find those shoes at?? I was looking for something like that as well...they gots any mores?? How would a womans 7 compare to a mens 8??
Pm me your phone number
I believe womans are two sizes smaller so you would a 10 unless they run big.
size 7 womens is size 5 in mens, cuz women usually have little feet so some sadistic twit decided to measure womens feet in smaller increments so the numbers sound bigger and it makes them obsess about the size of another body part that men don't really pay too much attention to.
Strangely enough, those might actually fit on my feet.
If you're looking to find them a new home, please let me know what you'd be wanting for them.
I have donated these shoes to my friend's daughter who wants to be a mandalorian, I no longer own these. Sorry.
Ah well... can't blame a guy for asking.

The Lure of Perpetual Preferreds For MLPs, Pension Funding
Energy master limited partnerships need to issue new shares and tap the debt markets to perpetuate their business model: maintain exceptional and consistent yields, and finance growth in the booming U.S. marketplace for oil and gas.
But issuing more equity means diluting existing shareholders. James Jackson, chief financial officer at energy MLP BreitBurn Energy Partners (BBEP), a California-based oil-and-gas exploration MLP, tells CFO Journal in an article here that he is considering perpetual preferred shares as an alternative source of financing for his company. Vanguard Natural Resources (VNR), another oil-and-gas producer and MLP, sold perpetual preferreds this summer and, CFO Journal says, "shares are trading above face value in the secondary market because of strong demand."
The article describes perpetual preferreds -- and the risks -- thusly:
"A sort of hybrid between debt and equity with no maturity date—offer companies a way to raise money quickly without issuing debt or diluting the holdings of their current common shareholders. That avoids altering debt-to-equity ratios and credit ratings, but it risks saddling a company with high dividend payments. ... [And] the high yields come with the risk that the shares could lose some of their principal value as rising interest rates make them harder to sell."
AT&T (T) got tentative U.S. Labor Department approval recently to contribute 320 million perpetual preferred shares to an under-funded pension fund, at a value of up to $9.5 billion.

Still time to have your gift matched
New contributions have come in and more are expected for the Challenge Fund which will make it possible to continue the MISSION3 Matching Gift Opportunity until the end of July as originally hoped. Gifts from faithful supporters are making this possible!
As of June 30, donations toward the Matching Gift Opportunity have reached $270,920 from 963 individual donors. To be eligible for the match, individual donors must be giving for the first time ever, or be current individual donors who are giving over and above their regular giving, Gifts must be received by July 31, 2012.
Eligible donors may give online at http://www.internationalministries.org/drives/6/, or by mailing a check to International Ministries, P.O. Box 851, Valley Forge, PA 19482. Gifts to IM may be directed to:
- Recruit, train and care for NEW missionaries
- Support all missionaries already in the field
- Support an individual missionary or missionary family
- Wherever they are most needed
In addition, it is still possible for major donors to give to increase the Challenge fund. To do so, contact Dave Worth, IM development director, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Your generosity will encourage others to give even more.
As IM enters its Third Century of Mission, two significant trends are emerging. Within the next decade a growing portion of IM's long-term missionaries will approach retirement. At the same time, requests for IM to send new missionaries are increasing. IM's partners are in need of missionaries to help people come to faith in Jesus, grow in their relationship with God and change their worlds through the power of the Spirit.
"Unless we are very proactive in helping people to discern their call to international cross-cultural work, we will face a significant shortfall in global missionaries," comments Reid Trulson, IM executive director. "The Mission3 Matching Gift Opportunity will help us send new personnel into service on location and strengthen the support for our 100+ current missionaries, development workers and global consultants."
Today, more than 4.8 billion people have yet to experience God's love through Jesus. "Our global partners are asking for help," adds Trulson. "As missionaries and local believers partner together, their capacity grows to make disciples for Jesus while meeting pressing human needs, such as poverty, hunger, sickness, education, conflict and slavery."

Lessing's @ Smithtown Landing Country Club
A sixth generation, family owned and operated business, Lessing's has been dedicated to quality and excellence in food service since 1890.
Founder Maxwell Lessing built the Lessing's brand with his vision of providing services to coffee shops in lower Manhattan. By 1917, the company grew into a downtown operation comprised of a bakeshop, commissary and additional service outlets located near Manhattan's Financial District. Lessing's was serving an integral part of the New York's workforce by the late 1920s from as many as 20 locations including the famous Woolworth Building on Wall Street.
We are proud to have initiated significant milestones in New York's food service industry. From being the first company to "serve" the sandwich and Coca-Cola in Manhattan, Lessing's has been on the forefront of innovation while providing great food to customers.
Today, Lessing's is one of the Northeast's leading providers of food service management through a variety of dining and hospitality operations. Dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and nutrition, our brand spans over 100 locations – including corporate dining, educational institutions, private and public clubs, and vending accounts – across the region.
As one of the most recognizable names in hospitality on Long Island, we own and operate some of the area's finest dining establishments. Lessing's full-service restaurants include four-star Mirabelle featuring world class ambiance paired with the finest French cuisine, the waterfront View Restaurant offering the best seafood Long Island has to offer, and trademark "Main Street" locations serving moderately priced American fare including Post Office Café, Maxwell's, Library Café and Finnegan's.
Our hotel, Three Village Inn, remains one of Long Island's great historic landmarks. Located in a Revolutionary War era building, it has been known for its local history and New England charm since 1939. Acquired by Lessing's in 2006, the Inn underwent a complete re-branding with the addition of a new award-winning chef, two restaurant openings, and banquet and lodging makeover.
Known for executing countless weddings and special occasions one at a time, Lessing's offers an array of unique venues. Historic mansions range from the one-of-a-kind Bourne Mansion to the medieval-style Chateau at Coindre Hall. Country club venues are nestled within rolling hills and boast scenic views from Long Island's Nissequogue River to New England's meandering terrain. Waterfront and beachfront destinations include View on the Great South Bay and Pavilion at Sunken Meadow on the North Shore.
Catering to uncompromising clients from Manhattan to Montauk, Mirabelle Private Events is the event-catering arm of four-star Mirabelle. Award-winning Chef Guy Reuge extends his expertise and excellence to fit specific client requests from any location. World-class cuisine, presentation, service, and ambiance is delivered for clients demanding precision and excellence.
Lessing's offers exquisite cuisine, professional presentation and top-quality local ingredients. Whether it is a personal or corporate event, an attentive and detail-oriented staff of banquet managers, chefs and personnel aim for perfection. We do it all – from birthday and anniversary celebrations to corporate gatherings and fundraisers.
In keeping with the Lessing legacy, we continue the same commitment to quality and excellence today that Maxwell Lessing founded our business on more than a century ago.

I've been photographing Caroline ever since she was a newborn and she's managed to somehow keep getting cuter!
I was surprised at how light her hair had gotten, but I'm in-love with those curls and all these adorable faces she makes!
She's trying to feed a squirrel here :).
When we were headed back to the car Caroline decided she wasn't done! She hadn't spent much time sitting in the rocking chair, but she decided it was time and she just sat there and posed for me!

MSNBC reported TNR 's "July Surprise"; CNN's amnesia persisted
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
On July 30, one day after Pakistani authorities announced the capture of alleged Al Qaeda terrorist Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, The New Republic's Spencer Ackerman, co-author of the article "July Surprise," appeared on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. The article quoted Pakistani government sources saying that White House aides were pressuring Pakistani intelligence to make a high-profile arrest during the Democratic National Convention.
While Olbermann made the connection between the arrest and the TNR article, CNN continued to report Ghailani's capture throughout the weekend on NewsNight with Aaron Brown, CNN Daybreak, American Morning, and CNN Live Today, as well as on various live news updates, without mentioning the "July Surprise" angle -- even though TNR editor Peter Beinart had appeared on NewsNight on July 7 to discuss it, and CNN anchors had repeatedly referenced the article on July 8.

Blue man of the Ozarks
"If you've ever been walking out in the woods in Ozark Country and thought you saw a big hairy monster, you might have. Don't laugh many people have seen the "Blue Man."
Other parts of the world have their own real or maybe mythical monster. Scotland has "Nessie" the Loch Ness Monster, and the Yeti or Abominable Snowman from Tibet. The United States has a few creatures of its own.
From the Western states come Bigfoot legends, the Iceman from Minnesota, and the "Headless Horseman" as told of by Washington Irving. Ozarkers have never been ones to be out-done by others. Here in the Ozarks we have the "Blue Man of Spring Creek."
The story began over one hundred years ago in the winter of 1865 when a hunter from Douglas County, Sol Collins, was hunting on the Ridge between big North Fork and Spring Creek. With snow on the ground Collins was tracking game when he came upon a set of tracks that were something like a bear's. Sol had killed many bears, but these tracks were the largest and widest he had ever seen.
Quickly he followed the tracks, and kept on them. He had followed the footprints north, almost to Indian Creek, then in a wide half-circle to the west until he was close above the big North Fork River.
While climbing the north slope of Upper Twin Mountain, Collins looked up and barely escaped being hit by a boulder that tumbled by him. He again barely escaped two more huge boulders that crashed down the hill. Just as he stm1ed to get behind a big post oak he first saw the gigantic figure shaped like a huge man, which was naked except for what looked like the skin of an animal around its midsection and other wrappings around its feet.
The creature was completely covered with a coat of curly, short black hair. When the sun struck it, it took on a deep, dark blue hue. Collins never gave up his claim that this creature was not less than nine feet tall, and this is among the shortest estimates of many others in the years to come.
Sol stated that he only stared long enough to see the creature throw away a ten foot club he was carrying and pick up another boulder, which he threw against the post oak. Then the giant made an ear-splitting scream that some said was more terrifying than any that ever came from any beast that could be found in the hills.
Collins then headed back and gathered up some of his neighbors and for a few days they kept on the trail of the beast the best they could by following its tracks in snow. A few times they caught a glimpse of it at a distance, plundering through the woods at a rate that left the posse far behind. No man was ever able to get within distance to take a shot at the creature, but nevertheless the hunt continued for to or three weeks almost every day, but there were never any result".
Many people saw the wild man, and people in isolated cabins claimed to be awakened in the dead of night by the screams of the creature. Usually after the awful shrieks were heard, the person would find a lamb or pig had been carried away.
By now, the "Blue Man," as he was now called, had been considered a fake and it was almost nine years before he was heard from again. In Autumn of 1874, word was passed that he had emerged again, because sheep and hogs had started disappearing and the carcasses found in the woods. Organized hunts were carried out to capture the creature but after a week or two, the "Blue Man" disappeared once again.
Sixteen years went by and he only made two or three visits to the hills along the Big North Fork. Every visit he was seen and hunted by many. Every visit he also made a clean get-away from the hills men. However, the last time they got too close, for he remained out of sight from 1890 to 1911, and nothing was seen or heard of him. For this reason, many of the people who had moved into the area regarded the stories of the "Blue Man of Spring Creek" as a figment of someone's imagination.
About this time he was seen again and more joined in the search. Reportedly they discovered the creature's den in a cave in a remote valley. The floor of the cave was littered with the bones of animals he had eaten, and a bed of dry leaves was found in a corner. Again, just as before the creature disappeared.
The next time the Blue Man was seen, O.C. Collins was searching for two lambs that had disappeared. He spotted the creature on Spring Creek four miles from Old Horton. Two days later Cap Turner came across him catching fish with his hands in Indian Creek. The creature chased Turner up the steep hillside swinging a huge
Cal Alsup, a few days later, was one of a posse that chased the Blue Man into a cave. He stumbled through the darkness over objects he knew were the pelts of sheep or the dried hides that had once made a meal for the wild man. He was seen one more time after eluding his pursuers at the cave. That time was at Ava Crossing where he was catching crayfish from under rocks and eating the tails.
By November 15, 1924, terror was prevailing over northern Howell and Douglas Counties. From Tater Hill to Collins Ford and from Blue Buck to the Ava Crossing people were searching for the Blue Man. Cattle weren't allowed to graze, sheep were watched by herders with rifles, and livestock was locked up at night. nobody left their home, and churches and schools were closed. People armed with rifles and shotguns searched every nook and cranny of the area in search of the Blue Man of Spring Creek.
December of 1938 was when the next account of the Blue Man came. The Bunt Brothers, who were living in Johnson Hollow, said their coon dogs had bayed off from them quite a little distance. The men had been seeing range hogs in the area quite often so they didn't go to their cabin for their guns; they just went up the ridge to call off the dogs before they killed one of the hogs.
They got quite a surprise when they saw the dog, baying up the big tree in which there was a man hissing and snarling in anger. He had no weapons and no clothes, except for some type of fur garment around his middle and something wrapped around his feet. According to the brothers he was hairy and apparently blue from the cold.
The younger brother took the dogs a good way off while the older tried to talk to the man in the tree, Bunt promised him food, shoes, clothing and a place to sleep but the man in the tree just stared at him. After about half an hour Bunt gave up and joined his younger brother. They said they were hesitant to walk away and leave the man there, yet they had no reason to question him further. Later they were questioned as to why they didn't report this to the law and they said they had no complaint against the man and had no way to come the eight miles into town.
Only once was a "wild man" caught, but it happened before the Bunt Brothers had their confrontation with the Blue Man. The August 18, 1911 edition of "The Sentinel" published at Pomona ran a story entitled "Wild Man Captured".
The mysterious disappearance of livestock and farm truck that had had many farmers along Bryant Creek puzzled was solved. Two boys, Ott Collin and Tom Reyburn, were returning from a fishing trip. They noticed something apparently spring right out of the ground, near the base of the hollow, and begin chasing one of the frightened sheep that was grazing there. The frightened boys didn't stick around; they ran home just as quick as they could get there.
When they got back home and told their parents what they had seen, they quickly gathered a bunch of men. The boys acted as guides, and when arriving at the spot they found a log and an opening into the ground that looked as if it frequently used.
One of the men pulled together his courage, shoved in a lantern and followed into a cave room of considerable size. At the far side a man was crouched, and said to be the sorriest specimen of a man any of them had ever seen. He was bare of clothing except for a breechcloth of some kind of animal hide. His body was completely covered with short hair, and his head was covered with a mass of hair two feet long.
The wild man tried to get away but he was caught and turned over to the authorities. He either couldn't or wouldn't talk, and his cave was littered deep with wool, hair, bones, and feathers. There was no evidence of him ever having cooked his food.
The most recent account of an encounter with a wild man occurred in 1966 in Peter Bottom, a fertile meadow along the War Eagle River, near War Eagle community in Northwest Arkansas. It began when a doctor who was wanted for murder found refuge in the forests around Peter Bottom.
When the man was caught he was ruled insane, and sent to a state mental Institution. Just before he died in the early 1960s he made the statement that since he was near dying he wanted to tell the story of a monster that lived in Peter Bottom. He also made the statement to stay away from the area and the story appeared on the back pages of local newspapers. But because of his history of mental disorder it was treated as a figment of his imagination.
Little interest was stirred in the War Eagle area until 1966. On a Sunday afternoon, two men were horseback riding down the steep road that leads to Peter Bottom. Suddenly a tractor coming at full speed from the bottom almost ran them off the mad. The man on the tractor warned the two there was something horrible living down there. He had been starting his spring plowing when he spotted the monster.
The boys thanked him for his warning but decided they wouldn't believe it unless they saw it for themselves. They kept riding but the horses became restless, and soon refused to go any further. The boys then walked the rest of the way into the valley where they spotted what they thought was a large clump of white fur in the grass near a cedar tree. They thought it must be a dead horse or cow, but when they got within ten yards of the clump of fur it stood up.
The two young men described it as an animal that stood upright like a man, with its body covered completely with white hair about two or three inches long. They said its height was about eight or nine feet and his features looked more like a man's than an ape's. Its face and hands were pinkish color and these were the only areas not covered by the white fur. They also said there was a strong, offensive odor, which they described as smelling like old coffee grounds, coming from the creature.
The two stood there unable to believe what they were seeing, then the creature began slowly walking toward them making strange sounds and they turned and ran as quick as they could. When they got to their horses they put quick distance between them and Peter Bottom. The parents of one young man said by the time he reached his home in the Nob Hill community he was almost in a state of shock. He then spent several days in the hospital with a nervous disorder.
As the young men's tale spread, hunting parties were formed, but the strange creature was never seen again. Over the years, cattle have been found, torn apart, and one man's corpse was found with his limbs ripped from his body.
No one can prove that the two really saw the creature, but Peter Bottom hasn't been farmed since then. It can be said that the albino monster in Peter Bottom is clearly unique in its own right.
How then can the legend of the Blue Man of Spring Creek and the monster in Peter Bottom be explained? This has come to be the most widely accepted reasoning:
Jerry Hilterbrand, who settled in what is now Douglas County in 1820 and died there in 1885, told the following story handed down to him by the older residents of the area. Years before the American Revolution, while Missouri was still a part of the French Colony of Louisiana, a French fur trader came through the Ozarks with a beautiful Spanish woman. After a while he got tired or his companion and traded her to an Indian Chief for a large amount or furs, leaving her captive. The woman, left with the Indians in the wilderness, lost her reasoning and lived for years a demented creature of the hills.
From her came a race or people, hair-Spanish and half-Indian, who never mingled with anyone and hid away in remote and inaccessible places. There they increased in numbers, and were known to exist for a good many years. Between 1820 and 1840 when the pioneering settlers came into the Ozarks, the race probably disappeared and many thought it probably retreated to the more remote Boston Mountains in Western Arkansas."
Peter Bottom Cave
This a reply to the reference of the Peter Bottom Cave incident in 1966. What happened was that a man had gone out at about 4:00 A.M. to milk cows in his barn. There was a bigfoot sleeping in the barn on some hay. The man was startled and out of fear poked the bigfoot with a pitchfork. The bigfoot pulled the man's limbs from his body and escaped. The police report and death certificate state that a bull had killed the man even though the bull didn't have any horns, any wounds, or a drop of blood on him. In reference to the white animal described - it was simply an old bigfoot sleeping under a tree. There was not a single bigfoot, but a whole family of bigfoot living in the peter bottoms. Today there are a lot of "no trespassing" signs in the area to keep people out. This has sparked rumors of drug dealers growing dope in the area and numerous other fatalities by bigfoot. I could give more detail of the 1966 incident but that is enough for now. I know this because my eighty year old father was the law enforcement officer brought in to investigate, and track down the bigfoot. He was the one who conducted all the interviews concerning the case, is the source of information on it. The Peter Bottom Cave had a lot of deer and goat bones in it.
I am originaly from Berryville Ar and was a Washington County Deputy this is the first I have ever heard of this Blue Man
The blue man is pretty famous. Check out this page for loads of cool info on Ole Blue
Thanks for the post and the replies. I love this stuff ,Ive been interested since I was a kid.
I grew up in the Ozarks. These Bigfoot, I mean Blue Man witnesses were either stoned on something or liars.
I've spent MANY hours and days hiking, fishing and hunting in the Ozarks never seen anything like this.

I live in the "Ozarks" area...only once have I ever seen something I couldnt explain like this.
Its really scary but I just blew it off and tried to forget I ever saw anything.
I was wonder where Peter Bottom Cave is located in Arkansas
believe or disbelieve BUT ALWAYS
always keep an open mind, an open mind learns and grows, a closed mind , turns up its nose at all, BUT lives in peace and bliss, until the Nazi SS stuffs them in the ovens.
Yes, it does apply to bigfoot space aliens or your wife fooling around with bowlegged cross eye homeless person down the way
an open mind in the end saves the day
Odd...I have lived in Ozark county most of my life...I have never heard anything about this. Usually tales like this will be told in hunting camps and other gatherings. Heard of a lot of strange/weird stuff over the years but nothing like this. Oh well, since none of the witnesses are alive any more, guess we may not ever know the entire story.

Los Angeles Kings won over Vancouver Canucks as one of the team's best player made a fortunate bounce for their most recent game.
Dustin Penner, one of the best players of Kings, scored a winning goal with exactly 3:14 left for the remaining playtime during the third quarter. Penner was supposed to help Los Angeles Kings to beat the top seeded Vancouver Canucks 4-2 opener of their Western Conference quarterfinal that is scheduled to happen on Wednesday.
With only three games left for this regular season and after entering the season despite the fact that they are considered the clear underdog, still, Los Angeles managed to secure a playoff berth for the entire season, most especially during their recent playoffs where Penner had actually gone the last nine games of the regulars season without a goal, but still managed to score.
Dustin Penner said that it was nice to score, "Just any goal actually". He said, "You can't get frustrated. I wasn't so much worried about us getting frustrated so much as letting one slip away, and we got a fortunate bounce on my goal. But we worked hard for 60 minutes tonight and it worked out for us."
Based on how Penner said that statement on his interview, he is pretty confident that their team is going to give extra effort to one in every game remaining for them to play. We'll see about that!

Montana Marital Property Division
When a couple gets divorced, everything from the marriage has to be sorted out by the courts so the parties can have separate lives. One universal issue the court has to handle is property division, specifically Montana property division.
No divorcing couple should go to court without retaining a licensed Family Law attorney. Property division laws can be confusing, personal situations can be more complicated than a non-lawyer realizes and lawyers have the proper training and experience to tell the judge what a divorcing spouse wants or needs from the property division.
Property Division Divorce Laws in Montana
The purpose of Montana property division laws is to make sure that marital property is allocated to each spouse equitably. Montana marital property is divided under the considerations of Montana Code §40-4-202 but the trial court judge receives great discretion when converting Montana marital property into separate Montana divorce property.
Montana is an equitable distribution state. This means that typically with regard to Montana divorce assets, anything the spouses had before a marriage usually will not be included in Montana divorce assets or Montana divorce property.
However, Montana Code §40-4-202(1) allows the court to include separate & non-marital property in property division to further the aims of equitable distribution between the spouses.
What is considered Marital and Non-Marital Property?
- Marital property is property either spouse acquired during the marriage as well as separate items brought into a marriage and converted into marital property.
- Non-marital property is property that each spouse had before the marriage or acquired individually without including it into the marital property.
The court will decide which property will be included in the property division as well as whether particular pieces of property are marital or non-marital. The distinction may become irrelevant if the judge feels non-marital property should be included into property distribution.
Dividing Assets and Debt
After the court decides which property is available for distribution, the next step is property valuation. The final step is the allocation of marital property.
Under Montana Code §40-4-202(1), the court considers a number of factors in dividing assets and debt. Some of these are:
- The marriage's length
- The parties' age & health
- The parties' earning capacity
- The parties' circumstances & needs
- Any prior marriages of the parties
Using statutory factors, judges decide how a marriage's assets should be divided. Here is a list of the most common property items and the most common allocation scheme used.
- Cash: Divided equitably among the
- Example 1: A joint savings account has $5,000. The court would most likely award a portion to each spouse.
- Example 2: A joint savings account has $5,000. One spouse contributed $4,000 and the other contributed $1,000. The amount may be divided by each spouse's contribution or may be more balanced if the $1,000 contributor has fewer assets than the $4,000 contributor.
- Retirement Plans: Divided based on the
duration of the marriage at the time the benefits accrued, looking at the
present value of the plan and/or survivor benefits.
- Example 1: A spouse got benefits in a retirement plan after working for 25 years and was married for 10 of those years. The ex-spouse would be entitled to a portion of the retirement plan that was acquired during the marriage.
- Example 2: A spouse has an unvested retirement plan. No division takes place until the plan is payable to the spouse who has it.
- Vehicles: Divided based on the values at
the date determined by the court. May be
sold or given to a spouse outright.
- Example 1: A spouse owns a motorcycle. The motorcycle may be sold with the proceeds to be given to a poorer spouse or the motorcycle may be given to a spouse.
- Example 2: A car has a shared title. The car may be sold with the proceeds going to each spouse or the car may be given to a poorer spouse.
- Insurance: Determined based upon each
spouse's health, availability of alternate insurance and premium payments from
marital income.
- Example 1: One spouse has covered the other under employer provided health insurance. The other spouse is in poor health and could not afford alternate health care coverage. The court may order the first spouse to continue covering that spouse for a set time and/or award money to the ailing spouse to get new coverage.
- Example 2: One spouse has a life insurance policy where the ex-spouse is to get survivor benefits. If marital income was used to make payments on the insurance, the spouse may be entitled to a portion of the benefits.
Settling Disputes in a Divorce Case with Property and Asset Division
Under Montana case law, property division awards are final and can not be modified by the court. However, if a spouse is being uncooperative the other may go back to court to get the order enforced by the court.
Generally, the trial court's determinations will not be changed by a higher court unless the division was clearly unjust.
Help From a Montana Property Divorce Lawyer
It can not be stressed enough that retaining a Montana property divorce lawyer is key to getting the fairest and most equitable result in the property division phase of a divorce. The lawyer can provide professional guidance, keep you informed of likely outcomes and help you present the best arguments and presentation to the trial judge handling the divorce.

Will Hoge Talks: Grammy Nomination, Richard Marx + 'Another Song Nobody Will Hear' [AUDIO]
He's been writing and performing songs for fifteen years, and even though Will Hoge is a name you might not yet know — you are definitely familiar with his work. Hoge penned Eli Young Band's No.1 smash "Even if it Breaks Your Heart," a song that has earned him a Grammy nomination. He called into Radio Texas, LIVE! last week and we found out what the nomination means to him, discussed his twitter "war" with Richard Mark plus debuted his new single, a song that features Texas powerhouse Wade Bowen.
Have you ever wondered how it feels to write a song that's so good, radio overplays it and people get tired of it? Hoge doesn't. Not anymore, he says, "Man I have wanted that my whole career." he adds laughing, "Fortunately for me it's Eli Young Band's version, so maybe people aren't tired of hearing my version."
We are all familiar with backlash bands tend to receive when they cover a song that was popular with it's original writers fans first. But Hoge feels his fans have handled Eli Young Band's success with "Even if it Breaks Your Heart" quite well.
"My group of fans have stuck with me for 15 years so I think they understand — there's some pride there, they want to say, 'We like your version better.' But it's been such a life changing and career changing for me as an artist I think everyone's been pretty supportive of it."
Here's a question. How many song writer's names do you know?
Probably not many. There's a perfectly good reason for that. Most bands don't make it a point at their concerts and in interviews to bring up their song's writers, and really they have no obligation to. But Eli Young Band aren't most bands.
The Denton based band has made it a point to share Will Hoge's name with their fans. "They've gone above and beyond," says Hoge, "and become dear dear friends. I owe them a debt of gratitude."
Will Hoge is out with a new radio single called "Another Song Nobody Will Hear," a song that features Wade Bowen. Hoge's sights, however, are set on the song NOT living up to it's name. "I hope that the title is proven to be ironic," Hoge told me, "I hope people enjoy it." Give it a listen below, I'm fairly certain you'll enjoy it.
For your RTX-Xtra here's Will explaining his recent twitter "war," of sorts, with '80s Pop singer Richard Marx. It's pretty funny.

Our "Featured Musician" for this edition of the Journal is none other than our very own, Christy Dyer – another "original" member of our Symphony.
Christy began her music career taking violin lessons in the fourth grade at Greenwood Elementary School. She continued her string career through Lee's Summit High School. The culminating experiences of her high school career were performing in Vienna Austria at the International Youth and Music Festival and performing at the orchestra's first appearance and performance at Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, Illinois.
Christy continued her music studies at the University of Central Missouri but stopped when she left school. Like so many other musicians in our Symphony, she got out her violin and enthusiastically joined our Symphony in 2003.
In addition to attending the University of Central Missouri, Christy attended and graduated from Heritage College with an associate degree of Occupational Studies in Esthetics in October of 2012.
From the time Christy was age one and one half, she had a love for horses and the pleasures of riding. While she does not own a horse at this time, she still loves to ride horses. She also enjoys crafting, sewing, knitting, jewelry making and up-cycling.
Her very favorite things to do in life encompass her daughter, Veronica. "Seeing things through her eyes are wondrous!"
In her real life avocation, Christy is employed as an Operations Consultant for Sephora where she assists many people for proper skin care and cosmetic needs. After almost 15 years in the graphic design business, she still assists our Symphony with posters, brochures, flyers and etc.
Christy is a lady of many and varied talents. We are certainly happy that music is one of them and that she is a member of our Symphony!

I need help, right away!!! My son is in danger! (Long, sorry)
- 31 Replies
Help. My son, two years old, has been having
behavior and anger issues lately. The last few weeks its been worse. He's started
getting inappropriate. And saturday he said something very explicit to me. I
spent the afternoon in the SADV pediatrics ward at the hospital. Family
and children services is involved. He said he's scared of
daddy and that daddy hurt him. I can't believe this is happening.
Basically he kept talking about his finger in his bum. And I thought he meant just toddler curiousity. So I washed his hands and told him not to put things there because it can hurt him, and that area is private. But then, while I was folding sheets a few days later, he said something to me and i didn't really hear him so I just said "I'm folding the sheets". Then he repeated it, clearly, "Are you fingering yourself".
That, plus the behaviours, the sudden fearfulness, he wont sit in the bathtub anymore, and what he said about his dad... I decided to take him in, just in case. They did an exam and found it inconclusive. They don't do internals on kids, thank god.
The worker came by the day before yesterday, and talked to him. She said it's hard because while he's very well spoken for his age (Seriously, if you have kids, teach them the real names for their genitals, teach them that it's private, etc. I didn't think this would ever happen, but I mean, if anyone ever thought these things would happen, we'd prevent them.) he knows all those things, but doesn't understand lying.
However, while she was talking to him, she asked him something totally different. I cant remember. But he said several sentences and ended with "And then daddy hit me, and I say "ow daddy that hurts" and I cry cause it hurts" and was acting sad and playing with the hem of his shirt. I hadn't heard anything about it before. I purposefully avoided asking anything, so that any statements he made to her were pure and not suggested.
I also told the worker about his father's drug use, that he's not using around Kyle but possibly when he's asleep. She sid she'd do a surprise visit yesterday.
My ex has texted me several times since saturday. I still haven't responded to any of them. He's definitely trying to manipulate me. I don't know why he bothers anymore; I can see right through it now. He keeps telling me things like "I hope you're happy" and "If you want me to feel depressed and broken, then congrats". It's not about him, and he can't see it. His son is suspected to be abused, and all he thinks is "poor me"?! He hasn't once asked if Kyle's okay, hasn't said anything about missing him or anything like that. I want to think he's innocent, but who does that?!
She called back yesterday. He denied everything. I mean of COURSE he would, regardless of whether or not he actually did it! That's just... Logic. She apparently can't look in any drawers or cupboards either. So unless the drugs were sitting right out, they'd find nothing. I can't believe "I didn't do it" is enough.
They can't keep him from my son, either. She did suggest that I try to get custody, since the way things are now, he could take him and run. I'll be talking to legal aid tomorrow. I know he'll fight me though. I'm scared I'll lose.
Anyone have any ideas what I should be asking for? I have no idea what there even is TO ask for. I'm Canadian, so any specific legal advice won't be useful to me, but anything I should ask for or do would help. I changed some unimportant details like my son's name but if you know who I am, please keep it to yourself since it's such a sensitive issue.
so you think dad is abusing him? having sex while kid is awake andhe is seing things?
Oh my. I hope you are able to get custody and all turns out well! So sorry.

Amy Winehouse puts rehab in spotlight
By Sue Zeidler
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rehab has never been hotter in Hollywood, and nowhere was that more apparent than on Sunday at the Grammy awards with British singer Amy Winehouse's five big wins, more than any other artist.
After months of headlines about drug and alcohol treatment for troubled Hollywood stars like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, soul singer Winehouse became the latest celebrity to shake-off the stigma of rehab and look like a winner.
Yet, while some Grammy attendees said Winehouse would have been well looked after by handlers had she attended the U.S. music industry's top awards, mental health professionals said the stress of performing coupled with Hollywood glamour could have derailed the singer's recovery.
Why wasn't the beehive-coiffed and tattooed Winehouse not in Los Angeles to accept her five Grammys? She was in rehab.
Winehouse scored a key victory for best song with hit single "Rehab," in which she recounts her reluctance to seek help for excessive drinking.
The singer won best new artist, record of the year and best female pop vocal solo performance for "Rehab," as well as best pop vocal album for he breakthrough release, "Back to Black."
She accepted her Grammys and performed "Rehab" and another tune, "You Know I'm No Good," from a studio in England via satellite during the awards' telecast.
"Thanks very much. It's an honor to be here," said a visibly moved Winehouse via satellite, appearing healthier than she did a few weeks ago when she was admitted. Continued...

Developing a Research base for Intravenous Peripheral cannula re-sites (DRIP trial). A randomised controlled trial of hospital in-patients
Webster, Joan, Lloyd, Sophia, Hopkins, Tracey, Osborne, Sonya, & Yaxley, Maria (2007) Developing a Research base for Intravenous Peripheral cannula re-sites (DRIP trial). A randomised controlled trial of hospital in-patients. International Journal of Nursing Studies, 44(5), pp. 664-671.
|PDF (64kB)
Background: There is currently no high grade evidence on which to base decisions about the frequency of intravenous cannula re-sites Objective: To assess the safety of changing peripheral venous cannulas when clinically indicated. Design: Randomised controlled trial Setting: A tertiary referral hospital in Brisbane, Australia Participants: 206 hospitalised patients from surgical, medical and orthopaedic wards Interventions: Peripheral intravenous cannulas were re-sited only when complications occurred (intervention group) or every 3 days (control group). Main outcome measures: The primary endpoint was any unplanned cannula removal, the secondary outcome was cost. Results: Forty six patients had unplanned removals in the intervention group compared with 41 in the control group [relative risk 1.12, 95% confidence interval 0.81 to 1.55 (p = 0.286)], a non-significant difference. Total duration of peripheral cannulation was similar in both groups (mean 123.3 hours in the intervention group and 125.9 hours in the control group: P = 0.82) but significantly more re-sites occurred in the control group (167 in intervention group, 202 in the control group: p = 0.022). Cost of cannula replacements in the intervention group was AUD$3,183.62 and in the control group AUD$3,837.56 (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Re-siting peripheral venous cannulas when clinically indicated compared with changing them routinely every 3 days does not lead to more complications and reduces costs.

Soooo.... Yeah. The Letter.
The game that started as an indiegogo kick-starter campaign that failed but got released anyway.
Has anyone else downloaded it? I did, I could only play it a bit and it's... Rather lacking.
Right now it seems to be more like a paid beta than a full game, as it seems the developer plans to update it along the way as people decide to buy it and give feedback. Kinda like an extended kick starter campaign where you get the game immediately after you donate.
Meowph, that's right!
Oh look! A Morphloggery.
Oh! eShop Gurus.

Gavin is Chair of Planning Studies at Reading. A chartered planner Professor Parker maintains a strong interest in citizenship, participation and governance in land, planning and development. He is interested in the relationship between land and people and considerations of property rights and conflict over land use. This interest spans the urban and rural divide and a number of policy fields as well as internationally. He has maintained a thread of research that is concerned with interactions and tensions between actors involved in planning and development throughout his research career.
Gavin has been actively researching community and neighbourhood planning with reports and publications that have been shaping policy agendas in this regard, for example: http://www.jplc.org/2012/ Keen to ensure that his research, theory and academic life is keyed into practice, he accepted a secondment to the Royal Town Planning Institute between 2012-2014 as one of the three directors. His responsibility included education, professional standards and Planning Aid England. His work there continued and extended his interest and expertise in neighbourhood planning and community engagement, see: http://www.rtpi.org.uk/planning-aid/
Gavin has also developed a particular interest in land use, community and policy in Japan and he is a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo and has produced several publications on this. Gavin was also Chair of the Community Council for Berkshire from 2006 to 2011, he sits on the council of partners for the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and he is also a director of the True Food Cooperative, Reading.
Amongst numerous publications he authored the book Citizenships, Contingency and the Countryside (Routledge, 2002) and he co-authored the well received text Key Concepts in Planning (Sage, 2012). The latter being designed to explain many of the ideas and issues circulating in planning, primarily for the benefit of students, see: http://www.uk.sagepub.com/books/Book232314
Gavin is keen to work with potential doctoral researchers wishing to pursue any of the themes expressed above and in particular participation in planning and neighbourhood planning.
