will.i.am Collaborating With Miley Cyrus + More on '#willpower'
It's been a few years since Miley Cyrus released a new album, but while fans wait for her to wrap up work on her next set — due later this year — they can look forward to hearing her cameo on will.i.am's upcoming solo debut.
Idolator reports that the Black Eyed Peas frontman has lined up an attention-getting roster of guest performers for the album, including (deep breath) Britney Spears, Hit-Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Lil Wayne, Diddy, Chris Brown, Skylar Grey, Juicy J, Eva Simons, apl.de.ap, Baby Kaely and 2NE1.
Cyrus will evidently be a part of this illustrious mix, although the details are presently unclear. What we do know is that the album, titled '#willpower,' is currently scheduled for an April 23 release, and the new single, '#thatPower' — which follows the Spears-assisted 'Scream & Shout,' a No. 3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 — features Justin Bieber.
It's probably worth noting that '#willpower' has been in the works for years, and was originally expected to reach stores in 2011; in fact, the album's leadoff single, 'T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever),' featuring vocals from Mick Jagger and Jennifer Lopez, was released way back in November of that year — and it isn't even included in the current track listing. In other words, fans may wish to take that April 23 release date with a grain of s.al.t.
Listen to will.i.am, '#thatpower' Feat. Justin Bieber

I would like to thank Bruno and Marty Gad, of Clear Lake, for taking the time to fulfill Donald Blakney's last wishes by bringing his ashes to his final resting place in his hometown of Lexington, Ill.
A memorial service was held on Aug. 9, 2013, in Lexington, Ill. Marty Gad presided over the service and said a few words as Don was laid to rest. They also delivered some other items that Don had wanted the city of Lexington to have.
Their time and money spent making sure his wishes were taken care of is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Wiz Khalifa And Big Sean Are Featured On Jennifer Lopez's Album
Jennifer Lopez revealed her album will feature some of Hip Hop's big names, including her "I Luh Ya Papi" songmate, French Montana, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, as well as, R&B artists Maxwell and Robin Thicke.
Remember when she went to the studio last year with Future? Well, the Bronx native also filled VladTV in about the mysterious track she did with him that was never released.
"The track I did with Future, I don't know if it's gonna make the album," she said. "It was one of the first things that I did. This is the first time I've ever taken this long to make an album, where it's over a year I've been working on it. And all the songs don't make the album, obviously."
Chris Brown has also written a few songs for her forthcoming album, but will not be featured.
In addition to working on her album, J.Lo also serves as an American Idol judge and recently collaborated with Pitbull and Claudia Leitte, to create "We are one (Ole Ola", the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The release date and title of the album are currently up in the air.—Morgan Murrell

Curves & Steps Bookcasedust furniture*
Curves & Steps is Vincent's first try at purposely making a piece of 'kids' furniture. All of Dust*'s pieces are whimsical and young at heart, but Curves & Steps simplifies & exaggerates some of Vincent's design styles to make a piece that's decidedly for the young (and young at heart!).
This piece is still in development, but the final design is complete. The prototype is available, we just need to finalize photography, packaging, and pricing. This 1st prototype is available at a reduced price. We'll offer more colors as we're able until we have the piece ready to "release into the wild"!
(Ships free to the continental US - additional shipping charges will be required otherwise)
Please note: if you order the prototype, there will be a 3 week delay as we finish photos, pack, & ship your piece.

An Essay on Cultural Diversity: A Personal Essay
'Diversity' is usually either touted as good, an alternative to conflict, injustice, inequity, intolerance, bigotry, discrimination, and racism, or as nothing at all, an all-in-one bland, undifferentiated substantive, due to its tendency to erode the empowerment of racial minorities, women, and the poor. Meaningful debates on 'diversity' should rather focus on the 'cultural diversity' subcategory, in order to hone the effects and uses of diversity in variously characterized human communities in an age of globalization. Employing the form of the Personal Essay, I will stand on the shoulders of giants (world-renowned essayists--Michel de Montaigne, William Hazlitt, Wole Soyinka, Carlos Fuentes, and James Baldwin), and will argue that passion for the conservation of humankind ought to take precedence over fostering environmental differences. This essay will trace human origins from the Olduvai Gorge of East Africa, and from there explore issues of development, marginalisation, world economic order, language, population, imperialism, and boundary crossings. Clearly, meaningful talk or practice of diversity in any community must include a conscientious effort to conserve humankind, by stressing the ill-benefits of the melting-pot syndrome.
Keywords: Cultural Diversity, Globalisation, Politics, Language, Immigration, population, Econonmic Order, Race and Ethnicity

If you were around in the '90s, you remember that goth influences were a huge trend for the decade. Givenchy took the '90s throwback that many designers have illustrated for the spring and summer 2011 season and kicked it up a notch with sheer panels of black that added a noir feel to the collection. Texture made the dark color that dominated the collection interesting. Sheer fabric hung from floor-length jackets and over pants with exposed zippers at the hips. Leopard peeked from lapels and hefty leather vests will add an edge to anything in your closet.
There was a definite grunge thread that kept the collection cohesive. The mix of high necklines, drain pipe pants, leopard, swatches of flowing sheer fabric made it a collection that will set the tone for a glamorous take on the '90s staples that are sure to make their way into our wardrobes next season.

Art History 240: Art of the Avant-Gardes, 1900-1945: France, Germany, Italy and Russia
We made these enhanced videos as part of our coursework for Art of the Avant-Gardes, 1900–1945 (Spring 2011, Professor Ellen McBreen). In the first half of the semester, we researched and wrote individual essays about 20th-century works in Wheaton's Permanent Collection, made by artists who were members of the avant-garde movements we studied in our course. We then collaborated to develop these online conversations, which reflect our own unique interpretations and interactions with these original works of art.
We'd like to thank Patrick Rashleigh, Faculty Technology Liaison, Leah Niederstadt, Curator of the Permanent Collection, and Chris Hyde, Visual Resources Curator, for their assistance with this project.
We hope you enjoy exploring these works of art as much as we have.

Uncut Interview - Guillaume de Fondaumiere (Beyond: Two Souls)
Daniel Anderson
24 April, 2013
The Quantic co-CEO talks Ellen Page, David Cage and the future of interactive storytelling
During our recent visit to the
Quantic Dream
studios in Paris for an early look at upcoming adventure
Beyond: Two Souls
, we spoke to co-CEO
Guillaume de Fondaumière
about his work on the game.
A 20 year veteran of the gaming industry,
de Fondaumière
Quantic Dream
in 2003, with the company already deep in development on
. He then worked on
before turning his attention to
Beyond: Two Souls
In the following interview, Click's
Daniel Anderson
talks to d
e Fondaumière
about what his job entails on a project like
Beyond: Two Souls
as well as the future of the story driven game and what it took to get actors like
Willem Defoe
involved in the project .
Guillaume de Fondaumière at the Quantic Studios
CLICK: You are listed as the Executive Producer, what does that mean on a game like Beyond: Two Souls?
: Well I'm the co-CEO and executive producer so I'm managing the company with David (Cage). I'm more focussing on the business side of the company – managing it from a legal and financial standpoint.
CLICK: And he's the more creative side?
Exactly! And as the exec producer my role is to make sure David has the means to fulfil his vision. So that means managing the relationship with our publisher – first of all finding a publisher but in this case we have that already. So it was a continuation of the partnership from Heavy Rain and managing that on a daily basis. But also overseeing the production with our project manager. And making sure we're delivering everything on time. And also managing all the third parties, there are quite a lot. At Quantic we outsource quite a bit.
CLICK: Like extra animation and assets?
Exactly. So this is something that I'm doing in partnership with our art director. And contacting agents, managers to Hollywood talent, things like that – that's also part of my job!
CLICK: And what was that process like. Did you want a star for this project?
We wanted Ellen Page and Willem Defoe [laughs]! Whenever David starts writing a project he very soon has characters, with a synposis and a treatment. And he starts to figure out what the story is. And most of the time, he will pick up some pictures of known actors, because he needs to put a face on a name to think about what the back-story is. And in the case of Jodie Holmes it was Ellen Page and in the case of Nathan Dawkins it was Willem Defoe. And when he came to casting the project, he said he thought we were ready to work with these kinds of actors. We had done KARA; we knew how reliable our technology was for scanning and recreating the actors. We knew also that we were starting to understand what it would mean to performance capture actors and so we decided to contact them.
CLICK: Was it hard to convince them?
Not at all [laughs]! Well first of all the legacy of Heavy Rain helped me a lot to open doors.
CLICK: This all happened post Heavy Rain then?
Post Heavy Rain. It helped me with contacting agents because I could tell them I had worked on Heavy Rain and most of the time people had either played it or heard about it. So Heavy Rain has really had an impact on Hollywood. It's been seen by people in the studios which is very positive. The other thing was we sent out right away a synopsis of the game and both Ellen and Willem came back saying they loved the idea and they wanted to know more about it. And so we met and it was our job with David to convince them to be part of it. It was relatively easy!
CLICK: I would always imagine resistance to being involved in a game but I suppose it's quite close to a movie?
: This was very close and again we were very clear about the fact that this wasn't your traditional video game. And the relationship to Heavy Rain helped us a lot – we were able to show them what kind of game this was going to be and why their performance was so important to the kind of games that we're doing.
CLICK: Starting production on Beyond, were you responding to any feedback from Heavy Rain – either positive or negative?
No we were very happy with Heavy Rain but it's like everything – like when a painter finishes a painting, he wants to work on something else. It wasn't so much about what we wanted to change it was that we wanted to do a different project and what does it require. And what is important? I can give you one example: in Heavy Rain, because of the story, because it was a dark thriller, everything almost had to take place in small environments. So we decided to create a specific engine that would be extremely powerful with restrained environments. Then for the story David wrote in Beyond, we need large environments. And this is why we created a new engine. It's not just to do it for the sake of it. We want to make sure that even in large environments we have the same level of detail in characters and the same lighting capabilities, etc. And so this is how the feature set emerges. In terms of gameplay, we had the same approach – what do we want to tell and how do we want to tell it? David wanted a story with more action and so this is why we redefine the action gameplay. And the reason why we abandoned, for instance, QTE's is that we simply found something better.
CLICK: You mentioned action but Beyond also clearly has more supernatural elements, something you moved away from in Heavy Rain – partly as a reaction the over the top moments in Fahrenheit. Was that something David just wanted to include this time?
Yea it was certainly over the top on Fahrenheit.
CLICK: I loved it by the way!
Yea but it was! So I guess David wanted to be very careful about this aspect. The paranormal element is there but it's not central to the experience I would say. It's… I don't see Beyond as a paranormal themed experience. Yes there are some dark paranormal elements but it fits in naturally with the game. It's still very much grounded in reality, actually.
CLICK: You make story driven games, rather than any other genre. Do you feel this is the ultimate way to tell a story in an interactive medium or just the way you do it?
It's our way of doing it, I mean I love the way thatgamecompany [Journey] is also telling stories, in a very very different way. It's a less narrated way! But there is a sense of storytelling. The same applies to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus creator… [Fumito Ueda]. But there are many game creators who are trying to tell stories in different ways. And I think that is interesting. So I wouldn't say it was the ultimate one, I think it's our way of telling stories. I would say it's a relatively classical approach that we have.
CLICK: It seems like, with games like yours and last years The Walking Dead, story is really become more important in video games these days?
Well I think that this has to do with more and more game creators realise that gamers have changed. They're getting older. And I think, like David, that part of the industry is still only creating games for teenagers. And teenagers probably are less looking for narration and stories in games than an older audience. The older players demand more from their games and part of that is that whatever they do makes sense. So you put a gun in my hand, and I'm a G.I. during the Second World War. Is there any story here? And I think more and more game developers realise it. Cliff Bleszinski was here a few weeks ago and we were talking about it over lunch and he said that he loved what we were doing and wanted to put more stories into his games. I hear it more and more and I think it's a good thing.
CLICK: You've been working with Cage for 10 years now, what is it like when he comes to you with a new story? Is this something he's been working on for awhile?
It's been a story that was in his head for quite a while. David always has at least four or five ideas that are pre-written. So he's most of the time coming with a concept or a treatment. And David is very shy at the beginning!
CLICK: Really? Because he expects you not to like it?
: No. He is a creator and he is always anxious to know what people think of his ideas. And it's a healthy process. There are a few of us in the company who give him feedback all the way from the beginning to the end. Telling him what we think is a good or a less good idea! I'm trying to figure out whether we can produce it or not.
CLICK: When he comes to you with these ideas, does he have a specific sense of how he wants to achieve it?
He has a very specific and clear idea of where he's coming from. And he's instrumental in producing the game too. He's got a vision that's not purely artistic; he has a very good sense of technology and art. He's giving guidelines to pretty much everyone so I'm on his side.
CLICK: Do you ever tell him no if something's truly impossible?
I try not to say no. Sometimes things don't work out and we either don't have the means or whatever. But my job is not to say no.
CLICK: Finally, what part of the game are you most looking forward to player's experience?
: Well there are certain things I can't tell you about today. But I'm looking forward… I've had the experience already because I've played the game. I know it inside out now. But I'm looking forward to people's reaction to the Aiden character because it's a character in the game; it's a very, very interesting character. We're presenting the story of Jodie Holmes but let's not forget, it's about Two Souls.
Beyond: Two Souls is coming exclusively to PS3 from the 8th of October 2013.

have taught me to believe in myself and to take things slowly, one step
at a time, keep sight of my goals, both short term and long term.

know some days what I needed most. Your caring and understanding was so appreciated
and it came from the heart."

I would recommend the Simplicity Course as an easy, practical way to start
simplifying one's life. I especially liked the segments on Tolerations, Wardrobe,
and Office and Paperwork.
Each day focuses on only one task, which is helpful
to people who feel overwhelmed by the complexities of modern life and hardly know
where to begin downshifting.

I appreciate how genuine she is.

her suggestions, and am dumbstruck at how well they are working. I am feeling

-Shelli Segura
Be silent. For just a moment. I know you are busy.
Reflect on the season: your blessings, giving, your faith. You may not get everything
done that "needs" to be done this month. That's O.K. It will not be a big disastor
if your house isn't spotless for company, or your kids get less presents. There
are more important things. See if you can remember them this December.
tried to do those plans that have you planning Christmas from August or all year
to prevent overwhelm. They overwhelmed me. Some people do all this, for one day?
I encourage you to narrow down what you think needs to be
done. Simplify this Christmas so you can focus on meaning and people.
of the best ways to simplify, is to decide what is important to your family. In
my family we decorate lightly, usually don't have a tree, and since people would
much prefer to eat my sister's baking I leave that to her. But, my kids love making
the advent chain, seeing the lights and volunteering is important to us.
you don't have time to do it all, is the first step in conquering Christmas overwhelm.
Your worth is not dependent on how well you "do Christmas."
This Christmas plan needs to
be modified for your family's preferences. If I have down decorate lightly and
you love to decorate full out - go for it. Just know for most people, we can't
go full out with everything. So pick and choose what is right for your family.
1. Make lists of menus,
card list,
and things to do.
On each list put the most important things at the top. And if you don't get to
the ones towards the bottom, that's OK. You are simplifying.
2. Plan a Christmas
Only buy what you can afford and stay out of debt.
3. Pick out an advent
calendar and wreath.
4. Get out your decorations.
Find a separate box for all the decorations you are going to give away. Resist
the urge to buy more this year.
5. Use your present
list to buy at least 1/3 of your presents. Buy most of them online if possible
and shipped directly to their destination. If your family still buys presents
for everyone, suggest drawing names. The rest of your family probably doesn't
have the time or money to buy everyone a present either.
6. Have a holiday
craft day with the kids
for homemade decorations and cards if this is something the kids like to do.
7. Exercise at least 15 min a day and take your vitamin C so you don't get rundown.
8. Begin filling out Christmas cards starting from the top of the list. The ones
you don't get to, you can send New Year's cards to. I am sending Thanksgiving
day cards to get them done early. Or you can choose not to send any cards.
9. Go over Christmas calendar together as a family deciding what's really important
to attend. Remember you don't have to attend every party, family and church event
you are invited to.
2. Keep writing out cards.
3. Send out of state packages
that aren't shipped directly.
4. Take a winter walk with the kids, then drink
hot cocoa at home.
5. Buy film for the camera or for the video camera. Get
6. Bake cookies with
the kids and freeze or send if this is important to your family. Otherwise, don't
feel you have to bake. Most people get too many goodies as it is. You can also
narrow it down to one thing that your family really looks forward to.
7. Get
stocking stuffers
if you are doing stockings this year.
8. If you are having family over for
dinner, let people know what they can bring for the meal.
9. Decorate the house.
But you don't need to get carried away. An hour of decorating can bring in the
holiday spirit.
1. Mail cards. Smile at the harried person at the post office.
Decorate tree with half the ornaments. Now that my kids are older, we haven't
put up a tree for the past two years because the hassle and space it takes up
wasn't worth it to our family.
3. Plan New
4. Get clothes ready for holiday events. You probably
have enough holiday outfits so don't feel you need to buy more.
5. Go caroling, watch a holiday video or take a neighborhood drive to see the
6. Check travel arrangements.
7. Buy the
unperishable food for get togethers and finish up Christmas shopping.
8. Set up a wrapping
station with paper, bows, tape and scissors. Start wrapping.
9. Go to bed early one night.
10. Give holiday tips
to babysitter, etc.
2. Do any last
minute baking, wrapping and buying.
3. Lay out clothes for church,
including shoes.
4. Make sure you have enough dishes and seating..
5. Do a one hour family cleaning
of the house. Close doors of rooms that don't get done. Clean bathrooms
and put out guest towels and soap.
6. Relax and enjoy the
festivities. You did what you could. Now enjoy your time with family and friends.

A Virginia official's reported investigation of a prominent climate scientist, Penn State's Michael Mann, has sparked complaints of a "witch hunt" from a science organization.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli "has demanded that the University of Virginia turn over documents related to a former UVa climatology professor," reports the Charlottesville Daily Progress. The documents involve five federal grants received by Mann, who taught at the University of Virginia from 1999 to 2005.
"This really looks like a witch hunt, with a politician going after a researcher," says Aaron Huertas of the Union of Concerned Scientists, a science advocacy group. "The people attacking Mann are sidelining discussion about climate science with personal attacks on scientists."
"The attorney general's office can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of a pending investigation," says Brian Gottstein, a spokesman for Cuccinelli, by e-mail (SEE UPDATE BELOW). Cuccinelli made headlines recently by appealing an EPA finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health.
Mann is best known for a 1999 Nature study he co-authored finding average surface temperatures in the 20th century higher than past centuries, leaping dramatically upwards in a "hockey stick" shape, resembling an "L" lying on its back. Following 2005 Congressional hearings over the "hockey stick" results, a 2006 National Research Council report found the Mann paper's conclusion, "has subsequently been supported by an array of evidence."
However, this has never satisfied his critics, such as Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who in a February letter to the National Science Foundation cited e-mails purloined last year from the United Kingdom's University of East Anglia climate research team to suggest Mann and colleagues "manipulate data and research." (In his challenge to the EPA finding, Cuccinelli similarly cited the e-mails.)
The e-mails included notes to and from Mann critical of climate science naysayers. Subsequent Penn State investigation and two United Kingdom investigations have found no wrongdoing by the climate researchers, with at least two more reviews still underway.
"I haven't been contacted about this," Mann says, by telephone. "This looks like some sort of end-run at old e-mails for another politically-driven attempt at diverting the public from thinking about what we ought to do about climate."
Update: In a Wednesday phone interview, when asked about scientists viewing his investigation as a political effort and not a genuine legal one, Cuccinelli said,
"On a human level, given the cynicism about politics, I can understand people jumping to that conclusion.
All I can tell you is we're going to give this a pure, objective review under Virginia State law, and wherever it leads, it leads. And whatever we think about Micheal Mann's politically-activist scientific efforts are utterly irrelevant."

NEW YORK (JTA) — Israel Unlimited Partnership, a joint initiative that helps the disabled, has received $12.5 million to expand the scope of its operations.
The latest commitment came from the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which said Monday that it would match the Ruderman Family Foundation's $4 million donation to the group. The Israeli government will provide the rest of the funds.
The group is a joint initiative of the Israeli government, the Ruderman foundation and the JDC.
"We want Israel to be second to none in its inclusion of people with disabilities throughout society," said Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation. "Our strategic effort has enabled the implementation of nationwide change through innovative programs that ensure, above all, that people with disabilities are full members of Israel's national tapestry."
Founded in 2009, the Israel Unlimited Partnership provides transportation and care to thousands of physically impaired Israelis including Arabs and immigrants, as well as curbing violence against the disabled.
With its new funding, the initiative plans to reach out to disabled members of the haredi Orthodox community, integrate the disabled into the workforce and engage in a public campaign to raise awareness to their rights.
There are about 700,000 disabled adults in Israel, according to the JDC. Nearly 20 percent of them have moderate to severe disabilities. Approximately 52 percent of disabled Israelis are employed, compared to 74 percent of the general population. On average, disabled Israelis earn approximately $580 less per month than the general population.
"I would like to commend the partnership for people with disabilities between the Welfare Ministry, JDC and the Ruderman Family Foundation," said Moshe Kahlon, Israel's minister of welfare and social services. "This partnership promotes their status and develops services to advance the inclusion of people with disabilities in society."

Is Wiliam Shakespeare's As You Like it a political play?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
William Shakespeare's As You Like It is not considered a political play. A political play refers to a drama which tends to address issues related to society as a whole. Political plays tend to address social change, societal movements, and progressive actions. While As You Like It is not considered a political play, some of Shakespeare's other plays are considered political dramas (such as two of tragedies (Macbeth and King Lear) and many of his historical dramas (King John, Richard II, and Henry V)).
As You Like It is considered to be a Romantic Comedy.
Hide Replies ▲
Thanks a lot for the answer. In fact I've got to answer the question : To what extent is As You Like It a political play?
May I say, in my answer to the question, that I totally disagree with the fact that this play of Shakespeare is a political play?

As a poet, Leonard A. Slade Jr. borrows freely from the archives of African-American history, shaping an elegy from the life of slain rap star Tupac Shakur, or an angry lament against African slaves being whipped and raped by white masters.
As a professor of Africana Studies at the University at Albany, Slade invites his students to find fresh meanings and new interpretations within the pages of Richards Wright's "Native Son," Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man" and Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye."
In the confluence among his own meter, black history and the canon of contemporary black literature, Slade fashions images that breathe life into a month that has come to symbolize an ongoing discussion of culture and race.
"Black History Month is a time when we should celebrate the achievements past and present of African-Americans." Slade says. "It would be nice if we would continue to remember those achievements the other 11 months in the year, but designating one month is a least an important start in heightening consciousness."
Slade's own consciousness of black history received the jolt of a defining moment in 1961, while Slade was a sophomore at Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina, and he went to hear the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preach at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Elizabeth City.
"It was inspiring," Slade recalled. "I've never heard another speaker like him. It made an indelible impression."
The civil-rights leader's sister-in-law, Edythe Scott Bagley, was a faculty member at Elizabeth City State University and taught Slade honors English. "I was planning on becoming an elementary school teacher at that time, and Edythe (Coretta Scott King's sister" saw potential in my writing and steered me into English literature," said Slade, who has published seven collections of poetry. "She was an important mentor."
Slade and his wife, Roberta, live in Albany with their Samoyed, a large white dog named Robert Lewis in honor of his wife's late father. She teaches music at Siena college and is music director and organist at St. Helen's Church in Schenectady. Their daughter, Minitria, 20, is a cellist and music major at the University of Michigan.
Slade, 54, is the oldest of nine children of Elizabeth and Leonard Slade Sr. His parents continue to live on the family farm in Conway, N.C., where they once grew peanuts, cotton and corn.
Slade remembered plowing behind their mule, Molly, as a boy, learning early the work ethic that allowed this parents to put all nine kids through college. In "The Black Madonna," a loving poetic tribute to his mother, Slade described her "picking cotton on/a cold day blisters/decorated her black fingers/in the fields."
Slade, his father and brothers raised cash to purchase their 75-acre farm by shaking peanuts from their earthen clumps. "We'd shake peanuts all day and were paid $1 a stack (roughly three bushels). On a good day, all of us could put up 100 stacks, which was $100. That was a lot of money back then."
Picking cotton is a less pleasant memory. "I couldn't pick with gloves because they got in my way, so I'd end up with cuts and bleeding fingers from the prickers on the bolls," he said.
Slade transforms that experience in his poem "For My Forefathers": "For my forefathers/Whose fingers pierced cotton bolls/Beneath the sun roasting human flesh/And darkness told master/To rape black women/for labor and profit."
Although Slade described a childhood in his racially mixed North Carolina town for the most part devoid of discrimination and racism, he uses his poetry to explore the pain of African-American history.
"We can't dismiss the reality of slavery and the Southern past if we are to understand who we are today," Slade said. "As a poet, I use historical images to dramatize that reality."
One area of his past that Slade has not explored is his own presumed mixed racial identity. His great-great-grandfather on his mother's side, James Langform, who settled in the early 1800s in Northampton County of North Carolina near the present-day family farm, came from England and rose in politics to win election as state legislator.
"From pictures I've seen, my grandmother looked like a white woman, and I always had questions about that," said Slade, himself lightskinned. "She'd never talk about it, but I stongly suspect there is white blood in our family's past."
Slade always considered himself an African-American and suffered occasional incidents of racism. One was the flip-side of the Martin Luther King Jr. experience, also in 1961 while a sophomore at Elizabeth City State University, a black college. Slade and his roommate attended a service in town at an all-white Baptist church whose sign atop the fron entrance annnounced: "A Church For All People."
Said Slade, "If looks could kill, we'd be dead." The white minister bored through the two black college students with an angry, silent stare that lasted for several moments before he stepped away from the pulpit without preaching. Slade and his roomate left early and never returned.
His poetry is more about rhythm that historical retribution. "I'm not out trying to correct racial injustices of the past in my poetry," he said. "I believe in Poe's notion that the rhythmic purpose of poetry is to elevate the soul. I hope to elevate a few souls."
From behind wire-rimmed glasses and wide, round eyes, Slade speaks in a near-whisper, his honeyed drawl pausing as he carefully chosses words. In person and in his writing, his anger over racial inequities is tempered with introspection.
Curiously, as an undergraduate English major at the black college in North Carolina, Slade first fell in love with some of the so-called dead white males of the Eurocentric literary canon: Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Keats. It wasn't until Slade was working on his doctorate degree in English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that he began to focus on the work of Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, Wright, Ellison and other Contemporary black writers.
Slade said he ultimately returns to a deep religious faith in answering the big questions in the culture of ideas that arise from his poetry and literary criticism.
"The theme of love is probably the most important theme in my work," Slade said. "It is a theme about a reliance on God and in faith for transcendence. Divine providence helps sustain us and allows us to endure. God's love and human love offer solutions to many problems in our society and in our lives. I truly believe love triumphs over all."
Even amid the cautionary tale of Tupac Shakur's brief, violent life in the gansta rap fast lane, Slade ends his poem, "Shakur," on a note of loving redemption: "Death has wrapped/him now/in the cradle/of mercy/carrying him home."

The Misconception Of Drafting A Quarterback So High
Gil is the owner/operator of TheBayCave.com and a member of the Pro Football Writers of America. He will be contributing exclusive Buccaneers content for 620wdae.com as well as utilizing the resources of WDAE into his content on TheBayCave.com from time to time. Gil will be providing another set of eyes, ears and thoughts to our great team of Buccaneers writers.
By now, you should have already heard or read the words of NFL Network's Albert Breer on taking a quarterback so high in the draft. If you have not, I will sum it up: A team may be reaching for them and could find themselves with one later on instead.
The debates continue on about the Bucs drafting a quarterback first but Breer's words are something that should be noted. In fact, a quarterback drafted in the first round doesn't necessarily mean he will win a Super Bowl. It may never even mean that quarterback will take his team to the playoffs.
There have been 24 quarterbacks drafted in the first round since 2005. Of those 2 only two have made it to the Super Bowl — Aaron Rodgers in Super Bowl XLV and Joe Flacco in Super Bowl XLVII. Of the remaining 22, only nine have helped their teams reach the playoffs.
Some continue to make mention of the Manning brothers and Ben Roethlisberger as first round quarterbacks to reach or even win Super Bowls. Since 2005, 14 different quarterbacks have appeared in those games.
Just three of them were drafted in the Top 10 of the drafts they were selected in — Peytong Manning was first overall in 1998, Donovan McNabb was second overall in 1999, and Eli Manning was first overall in 2004.
Tampa Bay may or may not draft a quarterback. But if they do, it have been validated that it can be done later in the draft.

Wish It Were Summer Teddy Graham Cake.
Got the idea from Womens Day magazine, and had to try it. The fish are rainbow goldfish, the seaweed is fruit by the foot, the sand is crushed nilla wafers, the palm trees are chocolate leaves and peppermint sticks, the bathing suits are piped buttercream frosting, and the towels are fruit by the foot. you can't see, but behind the tree is a teddy graham buried from the neck down, and another building a sandcastle (mini marshmallow). This was so much fun to make, and everyone was cracking up. :D

1965 Volvo hearse
Imagine a heavy Volvo wagon with no air conditioning, unassisted brakes and steering, and a four-speed stick shift. The two front seats don't recline and there isn't even a radio. The car's stiff suspension sends tremors through the cabin, which lacks sound insulation. The highway driving noise could almost, well, wake the dead.
At least the rear passenger was assured of a peaceful ride … to the cemetery.
Chances are good you've never seen a Volvo hearse. This is one of just three like it in the world, according to Greg Miller and his partner, Will Van Allen, who've owned this curious 1965 Volvo for the past 20 years. It's also the only one in North America.
Despite the lack of creature comforts, they jump at the chance to drive the car several hundred miles to major Volvo shows and gatherings. That's more traveling than it did in its previous life shuttling passengers to their final resting places.
Understandably, the car draws attention wherever they take it. The coffin that rides in the back garners extra attention. It's no prop; it's the genuine article, originally belonging a family trying to send its deceased patriarch back to Portugal. Here, it serves double duty, adding just the right amount of macabre spirit and serving as a storage bin for those long drives. The car is a hit at Professional Car Society shows, where Miller and Van Allen are asked to draw the car's curtains so the coffin is not visible.
Why a Volvo hearse? Why not, Miller and Van Allen, who live in Trenton, N.J., would say. They bought it on a whim. Joe Lazenby, whose Susquehanna Spares specializes in parts for older Volvos, told them about it and showed them photos of the car in Sweden, where it had been used by a funeral home for 30 years.
The hearse was converted from a Volvo wagon known as the Duett, which was built from 1953 to 1969 in two series. The first was called the PV445, built until 1960, and the second was the P210, built until 1969. The P210 series used front bodywork from the 544-series passenger car.
Unlike Volvo cars, which were unit-body, the Duett used body-on-frame construction. That enabled Volvo to build various configurations, and it allowed coachbuilders to build professional cars, including this hearse made by Heinel Verkstads.
The hearse had traveled only about 18,000 miles in its professional career, but you can imagine the rain, snow and mud it had seen over all those trips to cemeteries. So, rust in the floors, rocker panels and doors was not a surprise. That didn't stop Miller from using the car to take his mother shopping on Saturdays.
"She thought I was nuts when I bought it," he said. "But she came to love it."
The car would draw a small crowd on every shopping expedition. An aunt in Yardley, Penn., enjoyed riding in it, as well. "She and her husband had a curved-dash Oldsmobile that they drove around, so she really appreciated this car," Miller said.
Volvo, for its part, has long appreciated the appeal of this hearse, inviting the owners to show it at company events. But the car was in need of restoration. After the president of Volvo Cars North America at the time saw the car 13 years ago, the company's PR manager, Dan Johnston, connected Miller and Van Allen with FAPS, the vehicle preparation company Volvo uses in port Elizabeth, N.J.
In just three months, the FAPS craftsmen completely rehabilitated the body, including fabricating specials parts that were not available. The paintwork, you might say, is drop-dead gorgeous.
The car's original B18 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, with just 75 horsepower, works hard to move the big hearse, but then, the car's usual passengers were not in a hurry.
The six-gallon fuel tank wasn't an issue in the car's original line of work, but highway trips require a stop about every two hours, Miller explained. Van Allen does the driving, as Miller is in a wheelchair. The frequent fuel stops seem to time well with the need to get out of the car for a rest – a temporary rest, that is.
The duo embrace the ghoulish fun the car generates. They nicknamed their special Volvo "Val" for Valhalla, in Norse mythology the banquet hall of the god Odin, where soldiers killed in battle went to their reward. The ceramic skull is "Yorick."
As for the "Volvo for life" license plate, perhaps that should read "Volvo, for the afterlife."

2012 Jeep Liberty Reviews and Owner Comments
2012 Jeep Liberty owners review and rate their 2012 Jeep Liberty.
Login to Review This Car
2012 Jeep Liberty (3 Reviews)
Only had my 2012 liberty for 15k miles and the engine seazed due to a loose oil filter. Warranty would not cover it. Jeep dealer that did the last change would not claim responsibility and my insurance did not cover it. I'm out over $8000 that I had to burry into a new car loan
I have 2012 jeep liberty. I have had it two weeks. Oil drains from crankshaft makes a good size pool on the garage floor, Dealership could not find a problem, Now What? I f I travel am I safe? Sides of the windows gather ice and will not thaw.
We have a 2012 Jeep Liberty with just over 12k miles. We just started noticing a big leak of green fluid. It was parked over night and the puddle was about 2 feet in diameter. Our mechanic looked at it and said that the oil filter was barely on. We have only had our Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler dealer do the oil changes/anything else on it. We took it to our dealer and they said it is normal for the Liberty that the oil filter becomes loose. There is no reason this should ever happen. If it is normal, there should be a recall to make sure it doesn't happen. But I haven't seen anything about the 2012 Liberty

It offers a user friendly interface which makes it more striking. The advanced features included in Google chrome are fast searching, task manager for websites, browser history, and quick launch bar. This web browser integrates machine translation in the browser itself. It also helps the customization in your web browser. The user could easily customize the browser with themes. Google chrome is a proficient and accepted web browser with multifaceted features. It swiftly loads the web page and allows you to run the complex web applications fast. It offers protected and more secure web browser. By installing tool bar extensions, you could add additional features to Google Chrome. Extensions could improve the web browsing experience and could include customizable tools and exceptional features to this Web browser's functionality. Normally installed extensions are password management tools, document viewing plug-ins and local weather add-ons.
Following are some tips for installing extensions in Google chrome and solve issues with them:
- Install Google Chrome extensions
- Issues with the extensions
- How to Solve issues?
Install Google Chrome extensionsYou could add extensions directly if Google chrome is your default browser. If not, first of all, install Google Chrome as your default Web browser. Set a homepage in Google Chrome by clicking on the wrench icon. Then change Google Chrome's default search engine. After that, customize whether or not the "Home" button appears on the Google Chrome toolbar by clicking the wrench icon and hit "Options", then click on the "Basics" tab and hit on "Show Home Button on the Toolbar." After this you could set up Google Chrome add-ons. For this, hit on the wrench icon and select "Extensions". Then click "Get More Extensions," choose an extension on the webpage and hit "Install."
Issues with the extensionsThe extensions could provide additional features and improve the surfing experience of the users. But sometimes these browsers might cause some problems to the users. Sometimes users might include more extensions to the computer. Then Google Chrome might get freezes if there are too many extensions installed. These extensions cause the web pages to load slowly.
How to Solve issues?To solve issues, you could either disable the extensions temporarily or uninstall them from the computer. For disabling the Google Chrome, you need to Open Google Chrome and type chrome://extensions/ in the Address Bar and hit ENTER. Since the new page opens, you could disable the third-party extensions that are not required. For uninstalling it, you need to open the Google Chrome Internet browser. Then choose the wrench icon at the top right of the window. Select "Tools" from the list of menu options. Then hit on "Extensions" from in the "Tools" menu. Thus a dialogue box gets open and it displays all the add-ons and plug-ins on the Web browser. Choose the "Uninstall" tab next to each extension you need to remove. The extension file and all stored data related with the add-on or plug-in get completely removed.

Partnerships In Affordable Housing: The Impact Of Conflicting Investment Criteria
Susilawati, Connie, Armitage, Lynne, & Skitmore, Martin (2005) Partnerships In Affordable Housing: The Impact Of Conflicting Investment Criteria. In QUT Research Week, 4-5 July 2005, Brisbane.
|PDF (108kB)
Accessibility to housing for lower income groups in Australia has been experiencing a severe decline in the last few years. On the supply side the public sector has been reducing its commitment to the direct provision of public housing at a time when market demand has strengthened, creating substantial price increases in all sectors of the housing market and in most urban centres. One possible solution to address the problem of reduced accessibility to affordable housing has been through the development of partnerships but recent investigation of the literature (Susilawati and Armitage, 2004a) and previous research by the author (Susilawati and Armitage, 2004b) suggest that the attractions of this approach may be specious. The research reported in this paper investigates the nature and incidence of these impediments as presented by survey of a number of stakeholders who have been involved in partnership arrangements in the Queensland affordable housing sector. By means of a series of in-depth interviews, the investment criteria and the impediments to achieving the desired outcomes of the participants in the partnerships are identified. Interestingly, the incidence of conflict and diversity between partners has elicited some unanticipated outcomes and responses which have ironically strengthened the process. Some of the negativity attached to future commitment to such partnerships has been found to be the anticipation of a worse outcome than that expected from independent action.

Elf As a baby, Buddy crawls into Santa's toy bag and is whisked off to the North Pole, where he is raised as an elf. A misfit who grows to be three times the size of his elf family, Buddy ultimately heads to his birthplace of New York City to seek out his roots. Unfortunately, they turn out to be a "Scrooge"-like father and a cynical ten-year-old stepbrother who doesn't believe in Santa. Worst of all, everyone seems to have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. But using his simple elf ways, Buddy sets out to single-handedly win over his family and save Christmas in New York, hoping to at last find his true place in the world.

She appreciates that for many Danielle Steele's romantic novels are a necessary form of escapism - they are just not for her.
But unfortunately when she goes to the local library Danielle Steele's books - along with works by Catherine Cookson - are often all that are available in large print and audio.
Last year Emma got a brain tumour and lost most of her sight and with it she lost the right to chose her choice of novels.
Now like three million other people in the UK her choice of books is severely restricted by what is and is not in large print or audio.
Sadly this means that 99% of her course books are not available to her.
"I have managed to get Jane Eyre and Shirley in audio. But I can only get one out of every 20 texts," she said.
When Emma was in the later stages of pregnancy she started to notice her eye sight was blurring,.
Doctors reassured her that it was probably simply a result of the pregnancy.
Her daughter was in breech position and Emma suffered pre-eclampsia. Paige was born a month early, but Emma's eye sight did not improve.
She was referred for an MRI scan and doctors found a large benign tumour crushing her brain.
"When they first scanned me it was the size of a ten pence piece. When they operated just weeks later it was the size of a satsuma. It was just next to my pituitary gland."
Emma, who had just started her course at Derby University when her sight was ruined, said she now has many aids to help her study.
She has been given a device to help her enlarge her text, a note taker to assist in lectures and a reader.
But Emma says easy access to the text books in a friendly form would make so much difference to her life.
"I am doing reasonably well. Last year I got B's and B pluses. I am managing, but I really don't know how. I have to just scrape through."
Emma, who is registered blind, says reading used to be one of her greatest pleasures.
"It is devastating for me I was always a book lover. I sat in a book shop last year and I cried.
" I told the shop assistants that all I wanted was one shelf with books I could read.
"But because of this brain tumour I will never be ale to go to a bookstore and browse through books.
"It absolutely astounds and devastates me that this one little pleasure in my life has been taken away from me because of this brain tumour.
"I want to become a teacher get my degree without having a struggle.
"Just talking about reading brings tears to my eyes. I am surrounded by thousands of books and I'm not able to read any of them! How is that fair?"
A new study published by the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB) claims that despite the government ploughing billions into literacy initiatives that people, like Emma, with sight problems are being forgotten.
David Mann, author of the report "Written Off" said: "People with sight problems are able to read and want to read, but face a book famine which the government has consistently failed to address.
"No single government department will even take responsibility for the issue.
"If the government is serious about life long learning and tackling social exclusion they must acknowledge the right to read is a right for all and establish a fund so that more books in different formats can be produced.
"We are calling on the government to set up a task force and to draw up a national plan with bold targets to tackle the unacceptable discrimination faced by millions in the UK."
A DfES spokesperson said: "We fully support the RNIB's aim of tackling discrimination against people with visual impairment.
"The DfES policy is to provide all information in alternative formats where necessary. We are already targeting all available funds and developing specific initiatives to ensure this is addressed."

Students, faculty and staff are taking on Eve Ensler's award-winning play The Vagina Monologues at Francis Marion University to promote gender, domestic violence and sexual assault awareness and raise money for the Pee Dee Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.
The university in conjunction with the Gender Awareness Committee, Gender Studies Program and the Fine Arts Program will host the seventh annual V-Day/V-Week events during the week of March 24-28. There will be two performances of The Vagina Monologues. The first will be on Thursday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapman Auditorium and the second will take place at the Black Box Theatre at FMU's Performing Arts Center on Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. General admission for the show on campus is $10, while the student price is $8. All tickets for the PAC performance will be $10.
A poignant and humorous tour of the ultimate forbidden zone, The Vagina Monologues is a celebration of female sexuality in all its complexity and mystery. In the stunning phenomenon that has swept the nation, Ensler gives real women's stories of intimacy, vulnerability and sexual self-discovery.
"This event is an opportunity for us to reflect on some of the problems we have in our own area as it relates to domestic violence," says Dr. Rebecca Flannagan, an organizer of the event. "V-Week activities provide an outlet for all of us to express our feelings about these issues and others related to being a woman in this world."
This year's "V-Day" events for the week will feature both evening and daytime activities. The FMU celebration is part of the "V-Day" events celebrated during this time of year at colleges and universities worldwide.
On Monday, March 24, there will be a performance by theatre artist Alan Bounville of In Our Words Project: Real Stories from Real People, sponsored by the FMU Gender Studies Program. The performance will be held in Chapman Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. A reception and the kick-off of the Clothesline Project will follow this performance. The Clothesline Project will continue each day on the Founder's Hall Lawn from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., until Friday, March 28.
This project is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.
On Tuesday, March 25, there will be a staged reading of The Foreplays in Kassab Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
On Wednesday, March 26, as part of the FMU Film Studies Series, there is a viewing of Boys Don't Cry in Lowrimore Auditorium at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
In addition to The Vagina Monologues showing on Thursday, March 27, there will be an Art Exhibit & Fashion Show held in the lobby of Chapman Auditorium from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Further information about V-Day is available at www.vday.org. For more information about the week of events at FMU, contact Dr. Pamela Rooks, professor of English, at (843) 661-1526 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the website, departments.fmarion.edu/vweek/index.htm.
