In reporting Allen's use of derogatory North African word "macaca," most major media outlets ignored Allen's familial ties to region
Research ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
In reporting on Sen. George Allen's use of the racially derogatory word "macaca" to refer to one of his opponent's campaign volunteers and his claim not to know what the term means or why he used it, the majority of media outlets left out a fact that might shed light on the claim's veracity -- Allen's mother was born and raised in Tunisia, a former French colony in North Africa, as Allen has repeatedly noted in the past.
In reporting on Sen. George F. Allen's (R-VA) reference to one of his opponent's campaign volunteers as "Macaca," most major media outlets noted that the word is a slur that apparently originated in North Africa. However, in reporting Allen's claim not to know what the term means or why he used it, the majority of those media outlets -- including The Washington Post, ABC, CNN, The New York Times, the Associated Press, and MSNBC -- left out a fact that might shed light on the claim's veracity: Allen's mother was born and raised in Tunisia, a former French colony in North Africa, as Allen himself has repeatedly noted in the past.
On August 11, Allen was caught on tape referring to S.R. Sidarth, a volunteer with Allen's Democratic Senate challenger Jim Webb, as "Macaca" and "[w]elcome[d]" Sidarth "to America and the real world of Virginia." Sidarth is of Indian descent, but he was reportedly born and raised in Virginia. As The Washington Post reported on August 15, "In some European cultures, macaca is also considered a racial slur against African immigrants, according to several Web sites that track ethnic slurs." Responding to questions raised over Allen's use of the term "macaca," Dick Wadhams, Allen's campaign manager, "dismissed the issue with an expletive and insisted the senator has 'nothing to apologize for,' " as the August 15 Post article reported. As an August 16 Post article further noted, Allen subsequently apologized for his use of the term, claiming his remarks "have been greatly misunderstood by members of the media." The August 15 Post article had previously reported that Allen did not know what "macaca" means, and that his use of the term was really intended as a play on the word " 'mohawk,' a term that his campaign staff had nicknamed Sidarth because of his haircut." The article had added, "Sidarth said his hairstyle is a mullet -- tight on top, long in the back."
But as Salon.com Washington correspondent Michael Scherer detailed in an August 16 Salon article, in addition to the fact that the term "macaca" is "racist shorthand for blacks" with North African origins, Allen's mother was born and raised in Tunisia:
Though he doesn't like to use it, the senator's full name is George F. Allen. He gets the middle initial from his grandfather, Felix Lumbrosso, a French-Italian who was incarcerated by the Nazis during World War II. Felix raised Allen's mother, Etty, in Tunisia, a French protectorate [sic] in North Africa. As a child, Allen's grandparents lived near the family home, and Etty spoke five languages around the house. Allen makes no secret of his heritage on the campaign trail. "I have my grandfather's bloodlines," he said at a recent swing through a suburb of Richmond. "My grandfather is French-Italian. I have about one-sixteenth Spanish in me."
In North Africa, the word "macaca," often spelled "macaco" or "macaque," is far more than a string of random syllables. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word dates back to the mid-1600s, as a Flemish approximation of the Bantu word for monkey in the Congo and southern Gabon. The word migrated north, taking on all the racist connotations that followed African colonization. By the early 1800s, Jacko Maccacco, a famous fighting monkey, could be found on display in Westminster Pit, a notorious London arena for dog fights. The word had entered the common vernacular, and it eventually became a racist shorthand for blacks.
Additionally, a September 24, 2000, Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, Virginia) profile of Allen reported: "[I]t was Etty Allen who shaped her son" (emphasis added):
He started talking at 10 months, and Etty Allen started quizzing him. She had brought a bunch of records from: French, Italian, Arabic and Spanish.
"Which language is that?" she'd say.
"The pretty one," he'd answer, or "the dark one."
She and her husband continued quizzing their children -- two sons and then a daughter followed George -- in the family station wagon on vacations. Dad would do the math, Mom the languages.
In his Salon article, Scherer also reported that Allen's sister attested to the numerous languages spoken in the Allen household, but said she and her mother were unfamiliar with the word "macaca":
In an interview Tuesday, George Allen's youngest sister, Jennifer Richard, told Salon that both her mother and grandparents spoke multiple languages around the house when they were kids. "My mom speaks French to me. She spoke Arabic," Richard said. But she said she knew nothing about the word "macaca." Later in the day, she asked her mother, who she said also did not recognize the word.
Allen has frequently touted his mother's French-Tunisian links, most recently on June 19. While discussing his Senatorial race on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Allen mentioned his mother's Tunisian ties to guest host and MSNBC chief Washington correspondent Norah O'Donnell:
O'DONNELL: I read recently, though, that you recently said you wish you were born in Iowa.
ALLEN: Well, during the gestation period, my father got his first head-coaching job -- was at Morningside College in Sioux City [Iowa] where my mother met him. My mother came over from Tunisia and fell in love with my father. They got married.
During the gestation period, my father got a job at Whittier College [California] -- the Poets, a fierce name for a team. And so, that's where I was born. Of course, my preference would have been my father got offered a job at the University of Virginia and I could have been born in Charlottesville like all my kids.
During a May 25 press conference, Allen highlighted his family's origins while discussing immigration reform. At the press conference, to apparently show that "we are all a nation of immigrants," Allen told reporters and Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA): "My mother came from Tunisia, although she has about three-eighths Italian blood in her." Allen also emphasized his mother's Tunisian ties while discussing immigration reform during the April 2 edition of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Teasing Allen's interview, Stephanopoulos noted that Allen's mother was "an immigrant from Africa." Later, during his interview, Allen touted his mother's immigration to rail against "rewarding" illegal immigrants with "amnesty."
Yet as AMERICAblog's John Aravosis noted, the August 16 Post story failed to mention that Allen's mother emigrated from a North African country. Indeed, the Post's August 15 report also ignored that apparently salient fact, as did most other media outlets that have reported Allen's response to the "macaca" controversy. For example, neither MSNBC nor ABC noted Allen's family's ties to the region while reporting both on his use of the word "macaca" and his denial that he meant to employ the term's derogatory meaning, despite him touting his mother's Tunisian upbringing on their own news programs:
- MSNBC: During the April 15 edition of Hardball, host Chris Matthews stated: "Republican Senator George Allen apologized for calling a rival campaign worker a 'Macaca,' a derogatory term for a North African." Later in the broadcast, MSNBC correspondent David Shuster elaborated, stating: "Macaca is a term that can refer to monkeys. Allen says he was making a reference to the young man's mohawk haircut. In any case, Allen has now apologized." Despite the fact that Allen noted his mother's North African ties during the June 19 broadcast of the show, neither Matthews nor Shuster ever mentioned Allen's Tunisian links while reporting on Allen's apology.
- ABC: On the August 16 broadcast of Good Morning America, ABC News White House correspondent Jessica Yellin reported on Allen's "racially insensitive" remarks, noting: "Literally, 'macaca' describes an Asian monkey, but in Europe and some immigrant communities in America, 'macaca' is used as a racial slur." Yet, even though Allen himself highlighted his mother's French-Tunisian ancestry on the April 2 edition of This Week, Yellin failed to report the connection when she noted Allen's apology, and co-anchor Bill Weir also neglected to make the connection when he posed the question: "[I]s this just an innocent case of foot-in-mouth disease or something more sinister?"
Other outlets that neglected to note Allen's mother's ties to North Africa* include CNN, The New York Times, and the AP:
- CNN: In multiple CNN reports on the incident and Allen's apology, CNN reporters or anchors have noted the racial epithet and Allen's denial, without ever reporting Allen's family's connection to the region and the language. For instance, reporting on the controversy during the August 16 edition of CNN's American Morning, CNN congressional correspondent Andrea Koppel referred to Allen's remarks as "off-the-cuff" and simply stated "in some European countries, "Makak" is used as a racial slur." Commenting on Koppel's report, CNN Worldwide anchor and reporter Carol Costello said: "So, you say potato, I say po-tah-ta. George Allen says 'macaca' instead of 'mohawk.' So, decide for yourself."
- The New York Times: In both its August 16 news article and editorial on the incident, the Times also failed to note Allen's mother's upbringing and heritage. Times reporter David Stout wrote in the August 16 article, "Senator Says He Meant No Insult by Remark," that the term "macaca" was "a genus that includes numerous species of monkeys found in Asia." Stout then went on to note, citing the August 15 Post article, "Mr. Allen said Monday that he had meant no insult, that he was sorry if he hurt anyone's feelings and that he did not know what 'macaca' meant." In addition to ignoring Allen's familial connection to North Africa, neither Stout nor the Times' editorial board even noted the apparent derogatory meaning of the word in North African and European communities.
- AP: In two August 16 wire reports, the AP also ignored both the derogatory meaning of "macaca" and Allen's mother's upbringing. Writing on Allen's denial, AP writer Larry O'Dell reported that Allen "said the name was 'just made up' and that he had no idea that macaca is a genus of monkeys including macaques." O'Dell further reported that "Allen has been accused of racial insensitivity before."
From the August 16 edition of ABC's Good Morning America:
WEIR: All right, Robin. So, damage control is under way this morning on the part of a U.S. senator who was caught on tape making what some are calling a racial slur. The senator has apologized, but is this just an innocent case of foot-in-mouth disease or something more sinister? Our Jessica Yellin in Washington has details. Jessica.
YELLIN: Good morning, Bill. Senator George Allen of Virginia is considered a Republican superstar, a safe bet to keep his seat in the Senate, and a serious presidential contender. But how quickly presidential and political fates can change, especially when there is a camera around, because now Allen is under the microscope for a racially insensitive comment he made, and it was all caught on tape.
YELLIN: The video has exploded on the Internet and put Senator George Allen in the hot seat.
MATTHEWS [clip]: Is this suicide by George Allen?
YELLIN: It happened at a campaign appearance. The senator used a little known racial slur, "macaca," to apparently mock a man of Indian descent.
YELLIN: Literally, "macaca" describes an Asian monkey, but in Europe and some immigrant communities in America, "macaca" is used as a racial slur.
YELLIN: In the age of YouTube and the Internet, you can be sure the gaffe will continue to hunt Senator Allen for years to come. The senator has since issued a statement saying that the word was, quote, "in no way intended to be racially derogatory," and he says, quote, "I apologize to anyone who may have been offended by the misinterpretation of my remarks." We understand he has not placed a call to Sidarth. Robin.
From the August 16 edition of CNN's American Morning:
COSTELLO: By now, maybe you know what "macaca" means. If you don't, you soon will. Senator George Allen is taking a lot of heat for uttering that word, but Allen says he was misunderstood by the media. But not everyone is so quick to forgive.
CNN congressional correspondent Andrea Koppel has more for you.
[begin video clip]
KOPPEL: Senator George Allen's videotaped off-the-cuff remarks were emailed to journalists by his Democratic opponent's campaign.
ALLEN: This fellow here, over here, with the yellow shirt, Macaca, or whatever his name is, he's with my opponent. He's following us around everywhere. And it's just great.
KOPPEL: The fellow Senator Allen was referring to is 20-year-old S.R. Sidarth, an American college student of Indian descent, and, at least for the summer, a volunteer with the James Webb campaign.
Armed with this digital handycam, Sidarth had been assigned to track Senator Allen all last week, a common practice among some campaigns. But Sidarth says it wasn't until Friday, during a speech near the Kentucky border, and with Sidarth's camera rolling, that Allen singled him out in the crowd, twice referring to him as "Macaca," the scientific grouping for a type of monkey, and, in some European countries, "Makak" is used as a racial slur.
ALLEN: So, welcome -- let's give a welcome to Macaca here.
ALLEN: Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia.
SIDARTH: I was disappointed that someone like a senator of the United States would use something completely offensive.
KOPPEL: Allen's communications director denies the senator was deliberately making a racially charged remark, telling CNN, the senator didn't know Sidarth's name. He said Allen staffers had nicknamed Sidarth "Mohawk" for the young man's short haircut, and perhaps the senator was confusing that nickname when he called him "Macaca."
Later in a statement, Allen said, he'd made up a nickname for Sidarth, "which was in no way intended to be racially derogatory. ... I apologize if my comments offended this young man."
But Sidarth says he had introduced himself to Allen earlier that week.
KOPPEL [on camera]: And you said, "My name is Sidarth"?
SIDARTH: Yes. He shook my hand. He also is very good with names, legendarily, he tries very hard to learn people's name when he's meeting them.
KOPPEL: In Allen's written statement, he also said his comments about a "welcome to America" and "the real world of Virginia" were aimed at his opponent, who Allen said had never been to that part of Virginia.
Andrea Koppel, CNN, Washington.

Washington state woman wins $90 million Powerball jackpot on first try
SEATTLE (Reuters) - A Washington state woman on Thursday claimed a $90 million Powerball lottery jackpot after buying a ticket for the first time, and said she would quit her job at plane maker Boeing Co and buy a new Subaru.
Lisa Quam, who bought her ticket at a grocery story in Auburn, south of Seattle, had the six correct numbers in Saturday's multi-state drawing, the lottery said in a statement.
"Sent out an email to my co-workers and friends at work this morning and told them what a pleasure it was to work with them and to check the news today, and they'll come to an understanding of why I am writing this note," Quam said to laughter at a news conference in Olympia.
Quam and her husband bought two Powerball tickets on a Thanksgiving Day run to buy a newspaper and pumpkin spice, the lottery's statement said. She posted the tickets on the refrigerator and checked the numbers on Sunday.
"I yelled to my family, 'Get up here!' They all thought I was mad and angry about something," she said in a statement through the lottery. "My daughter asked, 'Is this an emergency?' and I said, 'Yes!'"
Quam has not decided whether to collect the prize as a lump sum, which would amount to roughly $56.8 million, or as an annuity of 30 payments.
The largest-ever Powerball jackpot was for $590.5 million and went to the holder of a single winning ticket last year.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 175 million. The game is played in 44 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Quam was the first Powerball jackpot winner in Washington state.
"We have student loans just like every family, house repairs. Maybe we'll buy a house for one of the kids," she said when asked by reporters about her plans. Continued...

The boat I work on was repowered from 90hp to 200hp. I guess they figured they could save some money by not changing the prop. But, in all fairness, we are stuck with that prop as there is no clearance for larger.
I''ve seen a very little on the Yanmar 100hp, but I''m realizing we could very well have space in the ER for a new crew bunk if we went to something like that. She''s a 66'', 40ton ketch. What would you recommend, websites or info would be appreciated.

Nicole Kidman Opens 2014 Cannes Film Festival with "Grace of Monaco"
Kicking off the celebrations, Nicole Kidman arrived in Cannes for begin the 2014 Film Festival on Wednesday (May 14).
Looking radiant in white, the 46-year-old actress promoted her upcoming flick "Grace of Monaco" and hit up the photocall to chat with the press about the project.
In related news, the royal family of Monaco issued a statement earlier this month after the release of the first look at the movie and said, "The trailer appears to be a farce and confirms the totally fictional nature of this film."
Miss Kidman responded to the criticism and told the press, "I mean, obviously, I feel sad, because I think the film has no malice toward the family, particularly toward Grace or [Prince] Rainier. It's a fictionalization. You take dramatic license."
"Grace of Monaco" opens up the Cannes Film Festival today and is still awaiting an American release date.

Making the most of the New Year, Demi Moore gallivanted around the beach in Tulum, Mexico on Wednesday (January 1).
The "Ghost" actress seemed very taken by her new much-younger, tattooed mystery male boyfriend as they got handsy in the ocean while beachgoers looked on.
There's nothing like a pampering session to help a girl take her mind off of her troubles, and Demi Moore treated herself to a trip to Andy Lecompte Salon in West Hollywood on Saturday (December 14).
The "Ghost" actress looked a bit forlorn as she exited the establishment, sporting a long black coat with black sunglasses while scurrying to her car.
Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, its was announced today (November 27) that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore's divorce is officially final.
According to TMZ, the documents were filed yesterday afternoon by the "Two and a Half Men" star's attorney, Laura Wasser.
Two years after formally splitting up, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher finally settled their divorce on Thursday (October 31).
According to TMZ, the 50-year-old actress will not receive any spousal support from the 35-year-old after she reportedly claimed infidelity in an attempt to gain funds from him.
If the sky was especially dark last night (October 17) it's probably because all the stars were in Beverly Hills at the Inaugural Gala for the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts!

She loves a good workout, and Demi Moore looked pretty tuckered out as she left her yoga class in Los Angeles last night (September 23).
The 50-year-old "Ghost" actress skipped the makeup and donned a furry white jacket teamed with black capri leggings and motorcycle boots as she strolled out of the gym.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 66
Walkintotheclublike: Duck. Little Brother, Duck!
"Duck. Little Brother, Duck!" It might be a command or a suggestion, forceful or pleading. It could possibly be both, possibly at the same time, but it must be one of the two, for everything on display from this band is painstakingly deliberate. The meticulous pacing and atmosphere present from the first track of Don't Take Our Filth Away is carried like a guiding torch throughout the entirety of the album.
The band has a sound both vaguely familiar and refreshingly unique. What bands they invite comparison to are linked more because of their "feel" and less because of any musical similarities. In fact the more I listened, the more I was unable to pin down just what it was I thought I recognized. I can't quite tell you who their influences are and what they've lifted from them. I know I've heard those influences somewhere before, and yet figuring out where became less and less important the more I listened. That the album seems to have been composed with borrowed ingredients isn't troubling in the least. The music speaks for itself, loudly.
There's an unkempt looseness to many of the songs which seem to favor guitar noodling and distinctly random tempo changes over "structure." But the album's fluidity can't mask the purposeful song-to-song transitions that work to keep it cohesive. There is lovely shoe-gazer-y feedback layered over, around and behind an unrelenting beat only to be demolished by crescendos of guitars bludgeoning the same chord progression into the next song. Even the frequent shouting and screaming works, always seeming just at the edge of being over the top, but then allowing the music to pull it back at the last second. Whether it starts slowly and builds or begins furiously and diminishes, each song is unmistakably a forging, a single piece of work that has been hammered and quenched repeatedly in a pattern deliberately revealing the band's artistic aesthetic.
Don't Take Our Filth Away doesn't approach the grandiose levels of operatic storytelling you'd expect with a band like Coheed and Cambria, but there's a feeling that it would be completely within their range if they so desired. It has all the frantic energy of My Chemical Romance without their elaborate theme-building or theatrically indulgent narration. It channels the straining earnestness of Sunny Day Real Estate in their prime. There's a progressive, driving quality to the song arrangements that makes you feel like they're going somewhere important, even if you don't know where that is. And I found myself wholly unconcerned with the destination. This album plays like the audio accompaniment to an indie-art house film, full of sweeping scenes out of moving vehicles of pastoral highways and countrysides. I wasn't concerned where they'd end up, because the ride was more always more important than the destination.
There was, disappointingly, a general feeling of "sameness" that grew for me towards the end of the album, though. It wasn't so much a matter of burn out or fatigue, but I did catch myself questioning if I'd heard this bit or that bit of a song earlier on. I never quite wished for the album to be over, but I found myself wanting that ever-elusive something more. I don't think that the album lost itself in repetition, but it seems that maybe when picking and choosing the songs for the album the band sacrificed moments for ambiance. It is an exquisite ambiance though.
A saving grace is that the best moments presented here perfectly compliment that wonderful ambiance. And I found those good moments to be so demanding of my attention that I began waiting solely for them, possibly at the expense of the rest of the music. Ultimately, it's those moments and ambiance, beginning to end, which sold me on the album. In an age of instantly-downloadable singles and one-hit bands, to find an album so intently crafted with such a sense of unity and purpose, is a delight.

text: Posted November 5, 2004 Sylvia opened last night and my first impression is that though it's not a lost masterpiece there's some lovely, lovely stuff in it, and that combined with the interest in just seeing what it's like make the revival worthwhile. I loved the first act, but the second isn't really strong enough to stand on its own - it may look better in ABT's version, perhaps - and the last act is patchy though the pas de deux is absolutely top-drawer Ashton and I loved the ending, with Eros reminding the haughty Diana that she too had once fallen in love. And of course the score is wonderful. Thiago Soares was terrific as the villain, Orion, but I thought both Darcey Bussell and Jonathan Cope were struggling with the choreography. The audience seemed to have a good time - lots of cheers and curtain calls. It's been Christopher Newton's dedication that has brought Sylvia back to the stage and I think he can feel very proud of himself. Share this post Link to post

Read our review of the latest 2011 slim Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - thinner and lighter than the iPad 2!
At times one of the toughest aspects to writing a review is working out which category it should be listed in. The Samsung Galaxy Tab presents a slightly different problem: what category do you file a product that is pretending to be something else...
We'll get into this later because it's key to the scores you see above, but let's get the big picture stuff out of the way first. As many of you will know, the Galaxy Tab is not just Samsung's first Android tablet it is also the tablet widely hyped as being the one with the most potential to trouble Apple's all conquering iPad.
The reason for all this attention is a simple one-two combination of hardware and software. On the hardware front the Galaxy Tab seems to have the full package: tablet essentials like multi-touch support, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth alongside iPad omissions such as full phone functionality and front and rear cameras plus the horsepower to back it via a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 graphics. The choice of a smaller 7in screen also makes the Tab much smaller and lighter (190.1 x 120.5 x 12mm, 380g) than Apple's 9.7in iPad (242.8 x 189.7 x 13.4mm, 680g - WiFi only, 730 WiFi 3G). Topping it off on the software side is the seemingly unstoppable Google Android. Surely nothing could go wrong?
Well it doesn't, immediately. First impressions of the Tab are good. The elegant, minimal packaging could have come straight out of Cupertino and the device itself feels well made with no creaks or squeaks (as we've become accustomed to with some rubbish on the market). Sim and microSD card slots are well positioned and volume and power buttons continue the theme of excellent build quality. Even before we switch the Tab on, however, the cracks begin to emerge.
For a start the Tab is slippy in hand. Having removed the front and rear plastic covers I spent time looking for another mystery packing layer, it didn't exist and for a device meant to be carried in one hand it can feel precarious at times. A Kindle 3G it most certainly isn't.
The second element to set alarm bells ringing is Samsung's choice of a proprietary charger. The logic behind this is to create something sturdy for third party add-ons like keyboards and stands, though in truth it makes a mockery of the slow but steady steps taken by the industry towards a universal charger format.
Worse still, the real problems begin once you switch it on...

The postern gate, too, in Houghton Street still remains, though the arch is bricked up inside.
I considered your coachman to be a faithful man, and I told him to wait for you at the postern.
Thus saying, he pressed her to his bosom for a moment, and then passed through the postern door.
He knocked, and presently the postern gaped, and a lantern was advanced.
So saying, he turned round and departed through the postern door.
Astonishment robbed me of breath as he threw open the postern.
The sergeant followed such a group of sight-seers through a postern behind the armory and out onto the cliff.
"That road leads to the postern gate at the top of the hill," she added.
While Quasimodo was dealing with the ladder, the scholar had run to the postern which he believed to be open.
Duncan and his companions waited that night near the postern gate.

The varied terrain makes it a cycling destination for all ages and abilities but it is most suited to recreational riders, couples and family groups.
Cyclexperience started off in 1993 from a stable building in Brockenhurst. With loan from the Prince's Trust, New Forest Cycle Hire Centre was born!
Our shop is near the level crossing at Brockenhurst Station and our hire centre is actually in the Brockenhurst Station Car Park.
Really friendly and helpful staff, great bikes and good easy to follow maps. Excellent day, and we'll be back again.
Hired a tandem bike from these guys - excellent service with a good range of maps. Great experience riding a tandem around the New Forest - thankfully there aren't many hills!
If your thinking of exploring the New Forest, hire from these guys and enjoy your day.
My husband is a keen mountain biker and I am quite a novice! We went to cyclexperience through recommendation and we were not let down! Martin, Ben, Zak and all the staff are all extremely knowledgable, helpful and found our perfect bikes and answered all our questions, not to mention gathered all our much needed accessories and got my son sorted with a child seat. They sell a fantastic range of bikes to suit all realistic budgets too. Can't rate them highly enough! Thank you guys!!
We booked online which was very easy, we waited about half hour on the day to collect our bikes, we choose the ornamental woodland trail, which was 99% off road. Bikes were very good.
Myself,husband and 2 daughters aged 7 and 13 hired bikes from cyclexperience for the day during our holiday stay in dorset.we are not seasoned cyclists but we had an absolutely fantastic day cycling around the new forest.
So easy to hire from Cycle Experience. Right beside the rail station you just roll out of the train and onto a bike. Cycles in good condition. Staff friendly. Ok, so you have to complete some forms and test your bikes. But, once you are out of the village of Brockenhurst there are miles of beautiful off road tracks. We went up to Bank to the Oak Inn for lunch (about 5 miles). It was beautiful. A little up hill at the end but a wonderful down hill trip on the way back. would highly recommend.

A vanishing America? Kerouac memories, a Guthrie symphony and a
trip to Nathans Coney Island hot dog emporium
In a second missive to C&V, David Amram,
prolific composer and writer, reports on his ongoing odyssey, celebrating
the surviving Beat traditions and the fading façade of a
changing nation
Dear Chapter&Verse,
This has been
a great action-packed month [Editors note: October, 2004] with
hardly a day off. I did my annual series of events at the Lowell
Celebrates Kerouac festival in Lowell Mass., where I performed
with my trio, accompanied scores of other musicians and poets,
read from my books, hosted screenings of Pull My Daisy, played at an art show where my caricatures of the
era are being shown, and did programs with John Cassady, the son
of Jack's road buddy and inspiration for On
the Road, Neal Cassady
I also did a program at
U. Mass Lowell, and a bunch of interviews (in three languages) for people from
around the World who come every year to this amazing event which also celebrates Kerouac's hometown, where 27 languages
are currently spoken.
The old French, Greek and
Portuguese communities have been replaced with new immigrants from Vietnam,
Cambodia. Laos and many countries from Central and South America, and most
of the people who were born here still have a strong regional old New England
accent that has like so many other
regional accents, disappeared throughout so much of the country.
Even the way people dress
and relate to one another feel s like a much earlier time, and the stark beauty
of the old abandoned red brick mills, the rushing waters of the Merrimack River,
and the old wooden frame houses and shops with fading hand written signs in
many languages are magical in comparison to most plastic chain store franchised
Burger-King-ized miles of monotonous malls that make more and more cities in
America all seem like the same place.
Wish you could have been
there, to see all the people gathered from all over to celebrate Jack's life
and the enduring value of his life's work...the beautiful books he left us.
Back in New York, I performed
for the City Island Jazz Festival and then went off for a Bruce Springsteen
concert in Orlando, where Clarence Clemons, his great sax player and I are
some collaborations, and then came back to NY to continue work on my new "SYMPHONIC
VARIATIONS ON A THEME BY WOODY GUTHRIE, I think about him as I wither fly
over or drive by the places he wrote about in his songs. Like Kerouac, he embraced
America in a way that makes us all open up our eyes and our hearts to the beauty
part of this amazing country that still has so much to offer and so much that
is overlooked or ignored.
I just returned from a
festival in Windber Pennsylvania where I was the guest of honor (Senior-Bopper-at-Large!). Driving
from our farm in New York through the Western Pennsylvania mountains to Windber,
Pennsylvania was amazing, with small truck stops with religious signs saying "The
Holy Road" posted on small clapboard chapels for truckers to come and
pray. It was great to enter the truckstops and watch and talk to the people
working there and see the local farmers hanging out, speaking with the same
rural accents of my boyhood's farmerly neighbors of 65 years ago in Feasterville
Pa. (pop. 200)
Most of the people in the
truck stops looked the same as these people from long ago, as if I were in
a time machine, going back to late 1930s to 1942.
I spent the first day in
Windber giving concerts, and hosting a screening of Pull My Daisy, the film in which I collaborated
with Kerouac in 1959, prior to a marathon 12 hour reading of On the
Road the next day, for which I provided some of music, as well as playing
between and during the readings with local musicians. I also had a show of
my caricatures of everyone from that era.
The festival was held in
an abandoned hotel which had been purchased for $10,000 from E-Bay by a wild
guy named Blaire Murphy who loves Kerouac's work, and who was our tireless
and gracious host. During the one break I had in the two
day marathon event in Windber, we went a few miles to eat a celebratory meal
with Neal Cassady's son John, at the one place I wanted to take everyone to
that I felt would be a transcendental experience.
In the 1960s
when my symphonic music was played in Pittsburgh, the more adventurous
members of the Pittsburgh Symphony. joined by local jazz players
and poets all joined to take me on a ride to eat at Nathan's Coney
Island in Johnstown, for a 2am chow-down.
After all those years ago,
I still remember feeling like I had visited Johnstown Pennsylvania's equivalent
of Mecca, the Taj Mahal or the Vatican....one of the world's Seven Culinary
Wonders...Nathan's Coney Island hot-dog emporium in downtown Johnstown, and
I never forgot it. I could taste that grease in my sleep to this very day.
I hadn't been there to
eat in almost 40 years, but remembered the waitresses bring 12 hot-dogs laid
out on their outstretched arm, like some great late-night ballet, with hordes
of hungry workers from the nearby mattress factory storming in for
their night shift 2 a.m. lunch break, and some of the wild-eyed old timers
who sat in a near catatonic state sipping coffee who I was told were still
suffering post-traumatic shock, from the great flood that took place many years
before that in Johnstown. which they had survived but from which they never
had recovered.
And like an intoxicating
perfume, all the subtle variety of various burning grease aromas, intertwining
with the smell of spilled beers and used coffee cups with cigarette butts ground
out in the bottom of them, and old pie crusts and syrup stains caking the Formica
tables, along with the pickle juice, mustard and relish scattered on the tables,
chairs and floor, all combined to build up your late night/early morning appetite.
No master chef or interior designer could ever construct such a temple of late-night/early-morning
As we drove to Johnstown
for our only sightseeing moment of the festival, I told John Cassady and Jerry
Cimino, the heroic owner and instigator of the Beatmobile., which he had driven
all the way from California, that it was worth the 3,000 mile trip just to
eat a meal at Nathan's Coney Island.
I described
to them how the fluorescent lights cut through a perpetual light
cloud of smoke inside the cafeteria, like a drifting fog.... a
haze of onions, peppers, gristle, pork, beef and chicken fats,
combined with cigar, cigarette and pipe smoke, all slowly rising
the ceiling, which after many decades was encased in various greases,
looking like some giant Abstract Expressionist Renaissance Sistine
Chapel mural of various greases, caked there over the years, and
excuding its own subtle smells, adding to the total ambiance.
When we pulled up to the
landmark cafeteria, even though the place was packed, and the doorway and sidewalk
outside was jammed with a crazy assortment of Saturday-night Johnstown bon
vivants in various states of intoxication, eating hot dogs, fries, hamburgers,
fried onions, stale pastries and drinking beer, whiskey, soda and coffee, shouting,
arguing, laughing and releasing various exploding sounds of heavy digestion,
I could sense that this was a different place from the one I remembered.
I sensed that before entering
to eat, that like the family farmers fir whom Willie Nelson and all of us play
benefits for each year at Farm Aid, and like so much of what Kerouac chronicled,
Nathan's Coney Island in Johnstown Pa. in October of 2004 is now another part
of a vanishing America.
The ceiling mural of grease
was still there, but the waitresses no longer delivered either the hot dogs
or the Sundowners (a terrifying heart-clogger cheeseburger with a greasy fried
egg on top of it) on their outstretched arms to the tables.
Nathan's Coney Island was
now a regular 24 hour day/night cafeteria, although what looked and smelled
like black crankcase-oil where the fries were cooked appeared to be unchanged
from the 35 years ago when I last dined there, and for which I later wrote
a song called "Greasy Spoon."
I asked the oldest looking person behind the counter
what happened to the waitresses serving meals with the hot dogs
on their arms.
Health Department don't allow it no more. That's what made them
hot dogs
taste so good for all them years. The bigger the waitress arm,
was, the better them dogs tasted. That's all history now. Like
the coal miners in Windber. They ain't here no more either.
"Well, I guess that's
progress" I said.
"Tell your friends
how it used to be, 'cause it ain't that way no more, and never gonna be," said
the man behind the counter. "But we still got the world's best hot-dogs."
After our sojourn of chomping
down the quadruple bypass specials, we returned to nearby Windber, and I was
asked to read the final pages of On the
Road, to end the festival, to be filmed and then intercut with the old
video of Jack reading the same passages with Steve Allen playing the piano
from the 1958 telecast.
There were people of all
ages who attended this event, and it was a heartwarming two days, seeing how
much young people love this great book, and the spirit it conveys.
Now as I write to
you, I'm winding up my residency in Denton to Texas, barnstorming the Denton/Dallas
area with concerts, workshops, collaborations with dancers, actors, choral
groups, writers, poets, composers and then going one hundred miles to conduct
performances of "Giants of the Night," the flute concerto which I
composed for James Galway, and my "Theme and Variations on Red River Valley'
for flute and strings.
We just had a rehearsal
with the orchestra for Saturday night's concert in Wichita Falls and to my
amazement, they are playing both of my symphonic works incredibly well. It
is really fun conducting them, and the flute soloist in my concerto is amazing,
so THERE IS HOPE IN THEM THEIR HILLS!!!
I am staying in an old
bed and breakfast close to the university here in Denton, and the owner is
also a story teller, and it is a step back in time, eating meals with visitors,
most of whom are not from Texas. And of course, in between my marathon of activities
here, I get to spend time rapping with a small army of people of all ages who
are native Texans who have such an amazing bunch of stories, regional accents
and a poetic way of expressing themselves, making their down-home Southern-Western
everyday conversational speech styles a musical feast to listen to, as they
share stories and observations about their lives that are always unpredictable,
often humorous and consistently full of energy and special farmerly rural joie
de vivre!!
And also I am preparing
a collaboration with Willie Nelson for a new CD with him, using idioms from
Native American, Latin American, jazz and classical styles. All in addition
to doing programs resulting from the release of my new symphonic CD for Naxos
records and the Varese-Sarabande release of my 42 year old score for The Manchurian Candidate.
So with all this crazed
activity, I won't have any time to get into trouble. My little free time is
spent working on my new book, my composing of new orchestral music and trying
to answer mail!!!
work is more appreciated than ever, and the positive energy I
see in the faces of young people I encounter every day who are
inspired by his work are a constant source of joy, proving the
old adage that a thing of beauty IS a joy forever.
I send cheers from that
never-ending road, and look forward to our paths crossing soon again.

Tess Vigeland: Congress is off for Thanksgiving vacation, but when it returns, the big question will be what to do about the Bush tax cuts. They're set to expire at the end of December.
Many economists say they unfairly benefit wealthy Americans. Millionaires and billionaires save hundreds of thousands of dollars and more on their annual tax bills. Middle-class Americans save, on average, $1,000. So, does helping the rich get richer help the rest of us?
Here's Marketplace's David Gura.
David Gura: In the U.S., most of the richest of the rich aren't pro athletes or movie stars -- they're high-paid executives. "Corporacrats" to some. John Katzman's one of them. He founded a test prep business in the early 80s.
John Katzman: I started the Princeton Review many years ago. And three years ago, I started a new company, and in-between, I funded some others. If that makes me a corporacrat, then so be it.
Katzman joined Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength, a group made up of millionaires who want to pay higher taxes.
Katzman: I don't think it would change anyone's life at all. I don't think they would invest less. And I don't think they would spend less.
Generally the rich don't fill out surveys on their spending, so there's no way to know if money goes into stocks or hedge funds, and if it creates jobs.
Benjamin Harris: This is sort of the dirty secret of tax policy, is that we really don't know.
Benjamin Harris is an economist at the Brookings Institution. He says we also don't know how permanent tax cuts might change their behavior.
Harris: There's a lot of uncertainty about exactly how the wealthy can respond to tax cuts, which means there's a lot of uncertainty about how the rest of us benefit.
I asked Yale political scientist Jacob Hacker what we do know.
Jacob Hacker: What we do know is that the gains of those tax cuts didn't trickle down to middle-class Americans.
But the argument still goes that cuts promote growth and create jobs. Hacker, co-author of a book called "Winner Take All Politics," says history tells a different story.
Hacker: From 2001 to 2003, we slashed taxes on the richest of Americans, and we experienced a relatively modest economic boom, most of the gains of which went to the richest and not to middle-class Americans.
The Congressional Budget Office says permanent cuts won't help growth in the long run, and they'd add $700 billion to the deficit. And that's why millionaire John Katzman signed the letter saying his taxes should go up.
Katzman: I'd like to just think of this as a down payment. It's someone stepping up and saying, we'll go first.
And that savings would trickle down.
In Washington, I'm David Gura for Marketplace.

Sealing a new gas tank or not?
Should a new, original-style, third-party gas tank be coated inside prior to installation or not? It looks as if it might be zinc-coated but this doesn't mean anything, it was a cheap tank and a cheap coating might rust just as well. It sure will be painted on the outside but I'm not sure about the inside. Modern gas is also said to be more aggressive than it used to be.
Those who do recommend coating: What to use? Something that's meant for old tanks like POR15 or is there something else (maybe less costly) that can be used on a perfectly clean new tank?
I wouldn't use POR15 in a tank.
Wow. My first post. I am famous now. Oh well...
My experiences tell me you should not coat it. Some coatings degrade and dissolve. IMO its easier to deal with some rust with filters someday or by flushing [many years in the future on your NEW tank] than it is to try to work around the additional problems you will have when the coating degrades.
I too have had a "treated"..."coated" fuel tank failure and it wasn't simply a leak.
What happened was a bit of the coating got free and found it's way downstream ending up in the carb causing the engine to run lean and burned up a valve .. Ended up with buying a valve job $$$ plus a new tank $$$..
Keep the tank full, reduce the likelihood of rust buildup. :)
I've used epoxy gas tank sealers to good effect. The key is good tank prep and washing it out with acetone.

Yep, you heard me right. Gris and I was going for the gold at 6 this morning. Mom said "really? At 6?" Mom pushed the Turbo Scratcher under the edge of the dresser and went back to bed. 2 Min.s later she wakes up to plasticie spinning noises again. She looks and Gris had pulled it out from under the dresser. Mom laid there and then said "Okay okay okay!"
She picked it up and started walking with it. We panicked! And started following her hastily. She then placed it on the kitchen floor and said "now have your tournament." Boy did we! Minutes later, Mom comes back in. Cranks up the coffee pot and says "Thanks guys"
So long story short...we wound up having a great Sunday morning. And Mom also said it's crazy how everyone acted like it was a brand new toy once I moved it. Even Zoe got in the action.
Be there or be square!!!!!
We haven't had a party in a while, so Skylar and I decided to tie one on this weekend.....(bow ties, geez catnipaholics) anyway, can't chit chat long. Mom spent all my time up, trying to save that extra dollar bill, on Ebay tonight.
Love ya lots!See you there.
Okay, so I have been good to Diamond lately. She has been kind of quite and I've been kind of like chill. I have realized the kit Daphne has taking a shine to her. They play and play. And then sleep together. Daphne even has a bite or two of Di's food every night. Mom normally woundn't let her but It's so dang cute.
Speaking of Daphne, she is sooo sweet and loving and yet a pure hellion. Rowdy as rowdy can get. Oh and she's learned where our toy box is now, so you can Imagine the mess she makes.
Gris is even getting a little rowdier too. He broke into the bathroom vanity and dragged three rolls of toilet paper out. Then shredded them.
Zoe is getting fat, but she's healthy. No itchy scratchies at all, not for awhile.
Well, that's how we have been. Just the same ol same old.

London: Worcestershire confirmed Friday they have dropped their bid to sign Indian paceman Ashish Nehra for the second half of the season after he demanded more money to move to New Road.
Nehra was lined up as a replacement for West Indian quick Fidel Edwards, who was forced to withdraw through injury, and had agreed terms but now the deal has been called off.
"The deal had been cleared with the BCCI and we were expecting him to come and join us pretty much straight away," said Worcestershire chief executive Mark Newton.
"But then he came back to us asking for more money and saying the deal started too soon. As a result, I can confirm he will not be joining us."
Newton believes the huge financial rewards available in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have made it more difficult for counties to sign overseas players.
"It has been extremely difficult to find a suitable overseas player," he said.
"The Indian Premier League has changed everything. Prices have gone through the roof."


text: This is from detnews. It became clear on the Pistons' western trip how much they miss Hunter, especially his disruptive defense. The Pistons are ranked 21st in takeaways, averaging 14 a game. They will do better than that when Hunter gets back. Without him, coach Flip Saunders has been reluctant to trap up the floor. Hunter is one of the best in the league at that. http://www.detnews.com/2005/pistons/0511/16/E04-382025.htm Anyone share McKoskys opinion? Looking forward to Hunters return? Does Hunter make up for his lack of offense with Prime defense? What benifits the team more Arroyo's offense or Hunters defense?

Hey, I'm going to make some new design for TF. And I would like to know what kind of designs would you like to see from me.
I think that you all are a bit tired of seeing all the same being uploaded in this place. I'm tired myself of seeing themes that are "almost" the same. No variety, no new useful, and great stuff.
So that's what I want to do, new stuff, new things, things that people really need, so I need your help.
Would you show us something you've made ?
Yeah sure.
Also, http://dribbble.com/players/eduardo
That's it. But still would like to know what you guys would like to see?
I think your first design can be an Avatar Icon and Homepage Image!
Welcome to TF and nice designs. Try this thread for some good ideas on what people want designed:
Also Massix has expressed interest in finding a fullscreen gallery theme.
Hey edumicro,
Just stopping by to say that I'm glad you've decided to upload designs for ThemeForest, I'm a big fan of your deviations for a long time (djborap here).
Regarding your question, you could check out this thread.
Good luck!
@cmt, thanks! I remember you. You have some nice works.

PM Stubb: "I like Sweden even though it's not in NATO"
Beginning an official visit to Sweden on Friday, Prime Minister Alexander Stubb urged his hosts and other EU countries to take Finnish interests into account when considering any new sanctions on Russia. He reminded his host Fredrik Reinfeldt that he had broken with tradition in visiting NATO member Estonia before former colonial power Sweden.
Finnish prime ministers traditionally make their first official foreign visit across the Gulf of Bothnia to Sweden, but new PM Alexander Stubb broke with tradition this week. After attending an EU summit in Brussels, he went to Estonia first for meetings with the country's senior politicians before arriving in Sweden on Friday.
The decision was down to scheduling issues, but speaking after their meeting Swedish premier Fredrik Reinfeldt was unaware that Stubb had been to NATO member country Estonia before heading to Stockholm.
"Sure I like Sweden, even though Sweden isn't a NATO country," quipped Stubb, who recently came out in support of Finnish membership of the transatlantic alliance.
Stubb said that the NATO question was not on the agenda during this government's term in office, but that Finland's defence had to be based on a credible deterrent.
"And in addition, our defence has to be up-to-date," said Stubb. "It's really important that we co-operate with Sweden."
Over the lunch meeting, Stubb also discussed the need for economic growth policies in Europe and the crisis in Ukraine. Possible sanctions on Russia were one topic, but Stubb emphasised Finland's and other countries' economic dependence on Russia. He says that if Russian GDP falls by three percent, that in turn knocks 0.3 percent off Finnish output.
"We have to consider other measures that could compensate for that," said Stubb. "We have to hope that the situation doesn't go that far, but we are also ready to discuss sanctions that could stabilise the situation in Ukraine."

When you name a tire after a 70's action star, that tire better come correct. WTB's Bronson, like the rugged Charles himself, excels in rough conditions that make lesser specimens slink away. This versatile, tubeless-compatible tire hooks up in everything from dry hardpack to loose chunder to mud with widely spaced square knobs. The ramped center knobs make for straight-line speed while the tall square-edged side knobs corner with confidence. The TCS Light casing with Dual DNA rubber compound keeps you flying down the trail with a lightweight, grippy tire. WTB's TCS tires deliver the ride benefits of tubeless tires with the reduced weight of a non-UST tire, so you get the best of both worlds.

Agencies NEWS
Michael SCHNABEL realised photographs for TOYOTA in San Francisco. The supervising agency was Saatchi & Saatchi LA, post-production by GoSee member RECOM.
Attracting opposites and unlimited possibilities, from table top precision work to a 300-part large format picture in a rental studio – Oliver LIPPERT has to challenge an unthinkably varied array of tasks:
He photographed the new campaign motif of computer screen manufacturer EIZO, which is currently featured in specialist magazines for Butter Düsseldorf. Faithful to the motto 'Opposites attract', the ad makes it look like the picture's screen and its low price are magically drawn to each other.
It looks deceivingly real, when the advert breaks free from the magazine and is magically drawn to the product. The gleaming sparkle of the underlying magazine page only reinforces the illusion. Nadine Schlichte was creative director, AD Ben Frischen.
Oliver photographed four motifs for the current FROLIC print campaign (Mars) for BBDO Düsseldorf. Eva à Wengen carried out the art buying and Karolina Bukowiecka headed the art direction.
Furthermore, he produced a beach scene with Onken's new country yoghurts for agency client DR. OETKER. AB by Eva à Wengen once again. Klaus Meurisse was the AD. The motif is being used for 18/1 posters and adverts.
Oliver photographed the new, worldwide Cenusil key visual for McCann Erickson Munich for WACKER, to be used in adverts, leaflets and posters. A rental studio witnessed the construction of a real infinity-symbol constructed out of a multitude of objects, aimed to visualise the endless variety of products made of rubber.
Oliver and his team researched 400 products, which had been cast and chosen with the client for the shoot. AB Bettina Blum supported CD Georg Lauble and AD Madeleine Manie-Oskui.
Michael SCHNABEL received another award this year. His O2 campaign is featured in the AOP Award book; the decorated pictures can be seen here on GoSee.

"He made the life of the Prophet Muhammad come alive for me," she recalls.
For a moment the past comes alive to me, or I come alive to the past.
I knew it was in you, all the time--if only you could come alive.

Twenty-seven-year-old Juan Francisco Saenz-Tamez, aka metro 103, was brought to federal court to face Judge Dorina Ramos in a detention hearing, after his arrest by homeland security agents with the assistance of U.S.D.A. and McAllen police.
This according to the U.S. Attorney's office which identified him under the name of Mario Guadalupe today Saenz admitted he went under that alias.
The criminal complaint states Saenz drove a truck registered under the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the river banks of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County where he allegedly picked up a bag left in the brush. A bag he presumably transported to a commercial parking lot in McAllen where he was arrested.
Investigators later confirmed the contents to be nine kilograms of cocaine, and after a search warrant at his residence, agents confiscated a firearm, given his two prior felony convictions, Saenz is prohibited from possessing such weapon.
In April, the head attorney general in Mexico Jesus Murillo-Karam had made the announcement of a new police effort that aimed at capturing at least 12 cartel members including Saenz.
For now, the metro 103 will be transferred to Beaumont, Texas where his case will resume.
If found guilty of these offenses, Saenz could face from 10 years to life in prison.
