For his third album, Nighthawks at the Diner, Tom Waits set up a nightclub in the studio, invited an audience, and cut a 70-minute, two-LP set of new songs. It's an appropriate format for compositions that deal even more graphically and, for the first time, humorously with Waits' late-night world of bars and diners. The love lyrics of his debut album had long since given way to a comic lonely-guy stance glimpsed in "Emotional Weather Report" and "Better Off Without a Wife." But what really matters is the elaborate scene-setting of songs like the six-and-a-half-minute "Spare Parts," the seven-and-a-half-minute "Putnam County," and especially the 11-and-a-half-minute "Nighthawk Postcards" that are essentially poetry recitations with jazz backing. Waits is a colorful tour guide of midnight L.A., raving over a swinging rhythm section of Jim Hughart (bass) and Bill Goodwin (drums), with Pete Christlieb wailing away on tenor sax between paragraphs and Mike Melvoin trading off with Waits on piano runs. You could call it overdone, but then, this kind of material made its impact through an accumulation of miscellaneous detail, and who's to say how much is too much?
Featuring all of the stealth and cunning of a modern-day Special Forces operation, the Los Banos raid is regarded as one of the most successful airborne raids of all time. On the morning of February 23rd, 1945 – just a few months before the end of The Second World War – a combined force of American paratroopers, Filipino guerrillas and amphibious tanks liberated over 2,000 prisoners who were facing a potential massacre at the hands of their Japanese captors. Incredibly, not a single prisoner was killed in the attack. In this dramatic feature length film, we return to the site of the Los Banos Prison Camp with four soldiers who took part in the rescue – as well as one of the prisoners who was liberated. Their compelling first-hand accounts form the backbone of the film. Wrote Colin Powell (in a letter to the 11th Airborne Division): "I doubt that any airborne unit in the world will ever be able to rival the Los Banos prison raid. It is the textbook airborne operation for all ages and all armies."
Thousands of men, women and children are setting sail almost every day from war-torn Libya in rickety, over-crowded boats to find a new life in Europe. So far this year more than 1,800 have died trying to make the crossing. With unique access to the Phoenix, a privately funded search and rescue ship, Our World follows the dramatic story of one rescue mission. Gabriel Gatehouse stays with the crew as they search for migrants in the hazardous waters off the coast of Libya, throught to the successful conclusion of a rescue. Our World documents the heroism and horror of what is happening in the Mediterranean on a daily basis, and tries to discover what motivates a person to risk all in the pursuit of a European dream.
For many acts, the casino circuit is the kiss of death creatively, but in the case of Tom Jones the exact opposite is true – amidst the neon lights, craps tables, and slot machines, he's at the top of his game, feeding on the energy and excitement to command the stage with a power and eroticism that are virtually unmatched. Recorded in Las Vegas in the spring of 1971, Live at Caesar's Palace – his tenth and final gold record – captures Jones at his bawdy best, offering a compelling mix of hits and covers while still managing to make time with the ladies between songs; riding high on the recent success of "She's a Lady," he also samples smashes like "It's Not Unusual" and "Delilah" in addition to a vast range of material spanning from "Soul Man" to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to "My Way." The between-song stage patter is priceless as well – for fans, this is an essential set.
When Stephen McGarva and his wife moved to Puerto Rico, they hoped to find inspiration and adventure, and a break from the ordinary routine that their lives in the States had become. McGarva, an artist and adventure sportsman, was excited to pursue the boundary-pushing, adrenaline-rush activities he loved—hang gliding, scuba diving, kite surfing. One day he visited Playa Lucia, a postcard-perfect beach with shimmering white sand, palm trees, and dazzling blue water. There, instead of relaxation and fun, he found a sick and abandoned dog. This dog, and the quest to save him, transformed McGarva and gave him a new purpose in Puerto Rico. He soon learned that this slice of paradise was known to locals as Dead Dog Beach—a notorious dumping ground for the island's unwanted canines, and Stephen McGarva knew he had to act.

Buddha Love
I'm in love with my new garden Happy Buddha the Captain brought home for me today! Isn't he the coolest?
Now I have to decide where to put him. I'd kind of like to keep him in the house. We'll see.
7 comments:
Everyone needs a Buddha! Dayle got a similar Buddha made out of concrete and painted black when he was in the Army in Texas in Mineral Wells. He's sitting by our creek and waterfalls above the pond and under the red maple tree. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)ReplyDelete
He certainly looks a jolly fella :))ReplyDelete
Coincidentally I have been looking for a Buddha for Sr P as an anniversary present and your happy Buddha is very similar to what I had in mind. Sr P has been after one for a long long time...and I mean years. We saw one in a yard a couple of weeks ago and out came the usual chant "I'd like to have a Buddha statue on the balcony." I think it is about time I found one for him! :-)ReplyDelete
keep well

Olivier Giroud insists he does not get affected despite splitting opinion amongst Arsenal supporters and feels there will always be "haters" to cope with.
The striker has scored18 goals for Arsenal in all competitions this term but some of the club's fans remain unconvinced he can lead them to their first Premier League title in over a decade.
Despite this, the France international - who is targeting a 30-goal campaign - is not losing any sleep over negative comments.
"I don't question myself about that," Giroud said. "I try so hard to give my best for the team.
"I want to give everything to always improve myself, that's what I have been doing this year and hopefully I will reach my targets, my number of goals, to help this team to win the title.
"That is the main thing for me. After that, you will always have haters and people who don't like you, but that doesn't matter to me. I am not going to lose any sleep over it or anything like that."
Arsenal sit level with Leicester City at the summit of the Premier League after collecting 44 points from 22 matches and Giroud is expecting a tight battle as the London club look to win a first title since 2004.
"I would like to reach 20 goals in the Premier League, that would be nice and if I can help the team to reach our aims then I would be pleased with that," continued the 29-year-old.
"For me, it would be nice if I could reach between 25 and 30 in all the competitions.
"It is going to be tight until the end. It could even be that goal difference makes the difference.
"Confrontations with the top teams will be decisive so we need to be efficient, focused and show a lot of solidarity."
Arsenal host rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, aiming to continue a four-game undefeated run in the league.

A commissioner in the Tennessee County had come up with the plan to raise the flag on the courthouse. This plan has been overwhelmingly turned down by the rest of the commissioners as they did not find the plan to be relevant with the County's history. Commissioner James Randolph had come up with this proposal as he felt that it was crucial for their County's history. The commission in the Green County voted against this proposal by a huge majority of 20-1. The historians and residents of the County don't really seem to be agreeing with Mr. James Randolph and they said that this flag would actually misrepresent the history.
One of the historians said that before the civil war all the people were pro-union and they had come up with a convention named Greenville Convention of 1861. This county has been a home to the previous president Andrew Johnson who was actually loyal to unionist culture. The courthouse is home to the monument built for the soldiers of the civil war and it has witnessed one of the biggest pro-unionist meetings ever held in the region. You might be thinking about the reason behind such proposal made by Commissioner James Randolph. Though no one has been agreeing with him, but Randolph has been still of the view that this proposal would preserve the history of the County and show respect to the soldiers who fought the Civil war. Vintage products should never lose their charm and you must learn to show respect to them. You must also learn to maintain them in order to remember any vintage car or monument. For example if you have a vintage car and you want some of the best accessories for them then you can click here to get them.
Randolph might have tried to take a step further to show respect to the soldiers of the Civil war but it didn't turn out to be the way he wanted. Most of the historians said that Green County has always been anti-confederate and this idea would never go well with the true past of the makers of the county. The Mayor David Crum has responded strongly against this resolution and he said that it seems to be a rebel banner to him. He said that this Confederate flag does not have any place in government entities of the region.

The Grove is a beautiful building and the ground floor apartment we stayed in was called The Bailey - it was decorated in a cool coastal feel really calm and relaxing and beautifully accessorised. The high ceilings and big windows let in loads of light and looked out onto the pretty, secure and well maintained grounds.
The accommodation was beautifully appointed, absolutely spotless and very well equipped.
We felt very pampered.
The Grove is new, and I imagine will quickly become hugely popular - we'd love to keep it a secret, but know it would be such a great holiday base for couples and families, that we have to let you know about it.
You wont be disappointed.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Wendy and Les Cloughley (and Mini Schnauzer Bert)
Mr & Mrs Pailing, Northamptonshire stayed in The Bailey March 2014
We recently stayed in the Bailey at The Grove Holt and were pleasantly surprised to find great attention to detail. What a beautiful place and setting. Very private, clean, cosy and everything you could need in a holiday let. A real home from home. Fantastic real log fire and fully equipped with top quality items throughout the house.
I would highly recommend you staying here and there is so much to do around the area and Holt is a lovely friendly place. Try the Kings Head (dog friendly) for a warm welcome and friendly drink, they also do food. The Taste of India was outstanding and some of the best Indian food we have tasted, especially for a takeaway (restaurant available too). I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did. We look forward to coming back and would highly recommend.
Ms Doherty, stayed in The Castle February 2014
The photographs belie the quality and atmosphere of The Grove. I recently stayed in the Castle with family and friends and would highly recommend a stay. The Regency property has been sensitively restored, maintaining original shutters,coving,fireplaces and a gorgeous circular landing. The furnishings are tasteful, comfortable (especially the beds) and the kitchen is better equipped than mine at home. Can't wait to visit in the summer when the ample garden will be in full glory. A perfect location for shopping in Holt and on the doorstep of wonderful beaches.
We live in Norfolk and have recently purchased The Grove, we will continue to provide the excellent accommodation in the same vain as the previous owners.
The Owner purchased this house in 2012
The Grove was awarded Norfolk's Best Self Catering Establishment in the EDPvisitnorfolk.co.uk Tourism Awards 2015. The Grove ;Holt is only a short 10 minute walk from the Georgian town centre of Holt, 4 miles from coastal Blakeney with a full range of shops, galleries cafes and pubs, with ease of access to all North Norfolk has to offer. Holt steam railway is 5 minutes walk and takes you along the coast to Sheringham's sandy beaches.
There is always so much to do in the area and all the pubs are child friendly so eating out is easy and there are many places to choose from.
The Grove Holt is set in 3 acres of gardens and woodlands. The younger members of the party can scamper off into the adventure playground or start digging in the sandpit makes for an easy start to anyone's holiday.
The tranquillity and spaciousness of the gardens belies the fact that the cottages are so close to a busy town centre with every amenity including many exclusive shopping experiences and interesting galleries.
Kim & Graham Glew stayed in The Bailey for New Year 2014
Thank you Alison & Tim for what has turned out to be the best week ever. We have been to North Norfolk many times and our stay at The Grove Holt has been one of the most memorable.

We stayed in The Stables which sleeps 4 and had a wonderfully relaxing time. The property is beautifully kept with stylish fittings and the private gardens are a real bonus. It takes about 10 minutes to walk into Holt which has lots of lovely little shops including an Adnams wine and beer shop. You can also walk to the station about 5 minutes away and catch the train to Sheringham where there's a super beach and coastal walks. Alison and Tim were very good at communicating with us and helped out with a few queries we had.... best chip shop etc! We would love to stay there again and would definitely recommend it.
The property has everything you need for self catering, one of the best kitchens have used on holiday. The facilities at The Grove are brilliant , the playground, toy cars and tractor a real hit with our toddler .

For my upcoming trip to Europe, I'm attempting something kind of crazy…
I'm going carry-on. Oh yes, I'm going to attempt to fit everything I need for three weeks in Europe in a carry-on bag. Why, you ask? Well, my trip includes six intercontinental flights, and I'd really rather not deal with checking my bag each and every time I fly. I bought this bag at a Labor Day sale last weekend and did a "test run" of my packing last night, and I really think I can do it. Yay optimism!
As I've mentioned before, I am a notorious last-minute packer. But I'm also a light packer, so as long as I plan ahead this time, I think I'll be fine. Aside from shoes, the things that tend to take up the most room in my bag (and force me to check it) are my hair products. Not this time my friends! I finally heeded the advice of multiple stylish "jetsetters" (per Vogue, ITG and Harper's Bazaar, the authorities on such matters as far as I'm concerned) and ordered my must-have Oribé texturizing and wave and shine sprays in travel size. I also threw in their signature shampoo and conditioner
to meet the free shipping price point for good measure. (Hey, if I'm going to pack light, I might as well pack luxuriously.)
Speaking of hair care, one of the major cons of traveling abroad for me is the whole voltage situation. The first time I traveled to England to visit Phil, I fried the hell out of my hair dryer and had to buy a new one when I got home, which was pretty devastating (yeah, real problems over here). Needless to say, I will not be packing my hair dryer, curling iron, etc. with me on this trip, freeing up additional space in my carry-on bag – woop woop! Instead, I am laying myself at the mercy of the hotel gods and praying with all my might that they stock somewhat decent hair dryers in their bathrooms. Worst case scenario, I buy one while I'm over there. Even worse-er case scenario, my hair is a f*cking mess the whole trip and I buy a fabulous hat. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
Do you guys think I'm crazy for thinking I can pull this off? Any tips for packing light?

text: The plane is flying five-miles up over unpopulated expanses of water. What could anyone possibly see?! If it was hijacked and landed somewhere it's likely in an unpopulated area or an area where people aren't keen to say, "Yeah, I totally saw that plane land in that area there operated by Al-Queda!" I suspect nothing more than just generic engine information in order to make sure maintenance cycles were being adhered to, the engines weren't being operated out of tolerance zones, or that the engines were just in general good-working order. There seems to be *some* conflict between the various agencies involved on how true this engine-data from RR is, mostly Malaysian Airlines seems to be denying it but, really, it's not like they've been totally upfront about everything. I could be mis-remembering things but I think one of the questioned identities was one of the pilots. And while *American* pilots may be more cautious and less likely to cooperate in a hijacking what a Malaysian pilot would do is harder to discern especially when he flying over an unpopulated area and is thousands of miles away from anything "important."

Our son turned three a little over six months ago. He is the sweetest, kindest, funniest, and smartest little boy I've ever encountered (I guess I'm biased though). He's also extremely physical. He was walking at 10 months old, running and climbing soon after, and we've been chasing him and trying to keep him from killing himself ever since (he has no fear whatsoever). His motor skills have always been way more developed than for his age. That's the awesome thing and we totally celebrate and love that.
The challenge though has been that since he's always put so much mental energy into mastering everything physical, he's behind on his language skills and pretty much always has been. He has no medical issues. He has no formal diagnosis of any kind. So that firmly plants him in the category of "late talker" (nowadays it's actually "lazy talker" since he talks all the time now, but we're working on making new letter sounds, not dropping the ends off of words, completing longer sentences, saying all the syllables of a word, etc).
I remember being so frustrated when I tried to research what was happening with him. It seemed like I mostly came across situations where kids had special needs or medical conditions that affected their speech. That wasn't us. Then when I happened upon situations that seemed similar to ours, the advice was mostly "they'll grow out of it". That didn't sit right with me. I just knew there had to be things we could do to support him, help ease his frustration, and help him build language and communication skills.

As I work for a travel company, of course I look at tripadvisor to check out hotels. This was not worth the stars it is rated. It started out poorly, as we were not so much as looked at upon arrival, much less greated. Once Brittany finally did greet us, she informed us that our king size bed was a "special order" and they were sold out, and that I had a double bed. My order was not a special order, especially when signing the "no smoking policy" and it showed that I ordered a room with a king. No enjoy your stay, no I'm sorry we can't accommodate. Nothing. As we walked toward the elevator all I could smell was chlorine. I'm well aware that indoor pools tend to smell stronger, however, the odor was so overwhelming I felt nauseated. I firmly believe the hotel is no-smoking now, however, I'm sure that it was once a smoking hotel as near every elevator and hallway there is a strong smoke smell that no new paint can cover. They might want to rethink new carpet and a facelift. The furniture in the room was lovely, however the popcorn ceiling, 90s wallpaper and carpet leave something to be desired. As did the sleep number beds that did not work-which was the main reason for us booking the hotel. It was not operator error, as we have a sleep number at home. Extremely disappointed in this entire experience.

Paul you are blowing my mind away with these beautifull insignia
Nice ones Paul. The Oberbann 5 aren't easy to find.
I am more and more amazed.
been collecting and researching this stuff for 45 years and have managed to squirrel away a few pieces in that time even survived one divorce from which I learned a great lesson.
On another angle is everyone here a moderator and me the only Indian posting on this forum
Hi Paul
I believe that there are 5 Mods .
Currently I am not living in my house because of my Devorce .
I will however be back at my house within 2 weeks , so I will be posting scans of my collection then.
We all do appreciate you contributions more than you may realize .
At least I know that I do.
Very nice patches. I love the photo of the RZM tag. I too feel that the Oberbann 5 is the most difficult to find. It is the only one missing from my set. I have seen two for sale this year, but they went very quickly.
very nice items again paul, as for oberbann 5 being the hardest is there a reason for this, i mean how many people where in onerbann5 compared to other oberbanns
There's a simple answer to that one actually Stu. When the colour system was in use there was a maximum assignable number of 6 Oberbanne within each Gebiet. However, not all Gebiete were the same size so it was not always the case that a Gebiet had the necessity for a fourth, fifth or sixth Oberbann.
This means that the higher number colours of blue, black and white will have been used less back then which in turn would mean that they should be more difficult to find today compared to red, green and yellow.

Age: 52

Shania Twain's divorce has been finalised
Shania Twain wanted to 'disappear' after split
Twain was born in Windsor, Ontario, daughter of Clarence Edwards and his wife Sharon (née Morrison). Her parents divorced when she was two, and her mother then moved with Eilleen and her sister Jill to Timmins, Ontario, where she married Jerry Twain, an Ojibwa. He adopted the girls, legally changing their last name to Twain. Because of her connection to her stepfather, in the past, people had presumed Twain's ancestry was Ojibwa, but she stated in an interview that her biological father was part Cree.
One of five children, Eilleen Twain had a hard childhood in Timmins. Her parents earned little, and there was often a shortage of food in the household. She did not confide her situation to school authorities, fearing they might break up the family. In the remote, rugged community, she learned to hunt and to chop wood. Aside from working at an Ontario McDonald's restaurant, Twain began to earn money by singing in local clubs and bars from a very young age to support her family. She was singing in bars at the age of just eight to try to make ends meet, often earning twenty dollars between midnight and two in the morning when the bar had closed, the people remaining. Although she has expressed a dislike for singing in such a smoky atmosphere at such a young age, Shania believes that this was her performing arts school on the road to becoming a successful singer. At one point, while Jerry was at work, her mother drove the rest of the family 425 miles (684 km) to a Toronto homeless shelter for assistance.
At 13, Eilleen Twain, the future "Shania" Twain, was invited to perform on CBC television's Tommy Hunter Show. While attending Timmins High and Vocational School in Timmins, Ontario, she was the singer for a local band called "Longshot" which covered Top 40 music.
In 1984, she sang a duet performance on an album by Canadian musician (and present-day CKTB radio personality) Tim Denis.
When her mother and adoptive father died in a car accident on November 1, 1987, the 22-year-old Twain put her musical career on hold and took care of her family. She and her half-brothers Mark and Darryl, and sister Carrie Ann moved to Huntsville, Ontario, where she supported them by performing at the nearby Deerhurst Resort.
After Twain's siblings moved out on their own, she assembled a demo tape of her songs, and her manager set up a showcase for Twain to present her material to record executives. Twain caught the attention of a few labels, including Mercury Nashville Records, who signed her within a few months. During this time, she changed her name to Shania an Ojibwa word which means "On my way".
Twain's self-titled debut album was released in 1993 to the United States and Canada, gaining her audiences outside of her own country. The album only reached #67 on the US Country Albums Chart; however, it gained many positive reviews by critics. The album yielded two minor hit singles in the United States with "What Made You Say That" and "Dance with the One That Brought You." It was more successful in Europe, where Twain won Country Music Television Europe's "Rising Video Star of the Year" award.
The album failed to sell significant copies initially, although Twain's future success generated enough interest for the album to be certified platinum by the RIAA, denoting sales of over a million.
That same year, Twain sang harmony vocals on Sammy Kershaw's Haunted Heart album.
When rock producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange heard Twain's original songs and singing, he offered to produce her and to write songs with her. After many telephone conversations, they met at Nashville's Fan Fair in June 1993. Twain initially had no idea who he was but expressed a high degree of praise for his demos on the phone. Twain and Lange became very close within just weeks. Lange and Twain either wrote or co-wrote the songs that would form her second studio album, The Woman in Me.
The Woman in Me was released in the Spring of 1995. The album's first single, "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" went to #11 on the Billboard Country Chart. This was followed by her first Top 10 and #1 hit single, "Any Man of Mine." Twain had further hits from the album, including the title track which peaked at #14 and three additional #1 hits; "(If You're Not in it for Love) I'm Outta Here!," "You Win My Love," and "No One Needs to Know." As of 2007, it had sold more than 12 million copies. The album was a quick breakthrough, and it came without tour support. Twain's promotion of the album was based largely upon a series of sexy music videos. The Woman in Me won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album as well as the Academy of Country Music award for Album of the Year; the latter group also awarded Twain as Best New Female Vocalist.
In 1997, Twain released her follow-up album, Come on Over. This was the album that would establish her as a successful crossover singer. Slowly, the album started racking up sales. It never hit the top spot, but with the multi-chart hit single "You're Still the One", sales skyrocketed. Other songs like "Don't Be Stupid", "Honey, I'm Home", "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "From This Moment On" joined the 12 songs that eventually saw release as singles.
The album stayed on the charts for the next two years and Come on Over went on to sell 20 million copies in the United States and over 34 million worldwide, making it the biggest-selling album of all time by a female musician. It is also the eighth biggest-selling album by any type of artist in the US.
Songs from the album won four Grammy Awards over the next two years, including Best Country Song and Best Female Country Performance (for "You're Still the One" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!") for Twain. Lange won Grammys for "You're Still the One" and "Come on Over".
Despite the album's record sales it wasn't able to top the Billboard 200, reaching a peak of No. 2. In 1999, the "Come on Over" album was remixed for the European market as a pop album with less country instrumentation and actually gave her the big breakthrough in Europe she and her producer husband were looking for. "Come on over" went to No. 1 on the UK album charts for 11 weeks. It became the biggest selling album of the year in Great Britain and a bestseller in other big European markets as well, selling more than one million copies Germany and nearly 4 million in the UK alone. The songs that had finally drawn European attention to the album were the pop remixed singles "That Don't Impress Me Much", a No.3 in the UK and Top 10 hit in Germany in the summer of 1999, and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" which peaked at No. 3 in both the UK and France in autumn of that year. Additionally, the album set the record for the longest ever stay in the Top 20 of The US Billboard 200, remaining in the Top 20 for 99 weeks.
Twain's mainstream pop acceptance was further helped by her appearance in the 1998 first edition of the VH1 Divas concert, where she sang alongside Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan and Aretha Franklin and by VH1's 1999 heavily-aired Behind the Music treatment of her, which concentrated on the tragic aspects of her early life as well as her physical attractiveness and Nashville's early resistance to her bared-midriff music videos.
In 1998, Twain launched her first major concert tour, aided by her manager Jon Landau, a veteran of many large-scale tours with Bruce Springsteen. The Come on Over Tour shows were enthusiastically received by audiences around the globe and answered critics who speculated that she could not perform live.
After a two year break, Twain and Lange went back into the studio, along with a management change (QPrime replacing Landau), and recorded her latest CD. Up! was released on November 19, 2002. About a year later, Twain kicked off the Up! Tour in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on September 25, 2003.
Up! was released as a double album, with three different discs—pop (a red CD), country (a green CD), and Indian film music (a blue CD). For North American markets, the pop disc was paired with the country disc and in international markets, the pop disc was paired with the world music disc. Up! was given four out of five stars by Rolling Stone magazine, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart, selling 874,000 in the first week alone. It charted at the top for five weeks. The success of the album's pop version outside the US was equally amazing when "Up!" reached No.1 in Germany, No.2 in Australia and the Top Five in the UK and France. Especially in Germany it became a real long seller, certified quadruple platinum and stayed in the Top 100 for one and a half years.
The blue, world music disc was remixed with Bollywood-style orchestral and percussion parts recorded in Mumbai, India. The new versions were produced by Simon and Diamond Duggal, brothers from Birmingham, England. They were originally invited to contribute parts to the red, pop version of "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" which retains the Bollywood influence.
Twain's popularity in UK was reflected by numerous appearances on the long-running music show Top of the Pops, performing singles from Come on Over from 1999. In 2002 an entire special show was dedicated to her on sister show TOTP2, in which Twain herself introduced some past performances of her greatest hits and new singles from Up!
The first single from the album, "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" became a top 10 country hit in the US, after debuting at an impressive No. 24 after only five days of airplay; but only made the Top 40 on the pop charts. It was a much bigger hit on the other side of the Atlantic, released in a pop version, the single hit the Top Five in the UK and Australia as well as the Top 15 in Germany and France. The follow-up single "Up!" reached the Top 15 in the US country charts but failed to reach the pop Top 40.
The second European single became the mid-tempo song "Ka-Ching!" (which was never released as a single in North America) with lyrics where Twain was criticizing unchecked consumerism. The song eventually became another smash hit in the important European markets, reaching No. 1 in Germany and Austria and other European countries, the UK Top 10 and the Top 15 in France.
The third single from the album would be the most successful in the US. The romantic ballad "Forever and For Always" was released as a single in April 2003 and peaked at No. 4 on the country chart and No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and made as well the Billboard Top 20. Again success was even bigger on the other side of the Atlantic with "Forever and For Always" again reaching the Top 10 in both, the UK and Germany. Further singles were "She's Not Just a Pretty Face" a country Top 10 hit, while the last US single, "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing", made the Top 20 on both Country and AC.
Twain's popularity in UK was reflected by numerous appearances on the long-running music show Top of the Pops, performing singles from Come on Over from 1999.

Due to the enormous European success of Up! and its first three singles, two more singles were released in the second half of 2003 with up-tempo "Thank You Baby" (No. 11 in the UK, Top 20 in Germany) and just before Christmas the romantic, acoustic ballad "When You Kiss Me", at least a minor hit in both territories. The title track "Up!" also saw a single release in a limited edition of European countries, such as Germany, in early 2004. In January 2008, Up! had sold 5.5 million copies in the U.S. (Certified by the RIAA as 11 times platinum due to the organization's rules regarding double albums, which are counted as two units for certifications).
In 2003, Twain participated in the Dolly Parton tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman, covering Parton's classic "Coat of Many Colors", as a duet with Alison Krauss & Union Station. The cover peaked at No. 57 on the Hot Country Songs charts as an album cut. During the Super Bowl XXXVII halftime show Twain performed two songs, "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and "Up!"
In 2004, she released the Greatest Hits album, with three new tracks. As of 2008, it has sold over four million copies in the U.S. The first single, the multi-format duet "Party for Two", made the country top ten with Billy Currington, while the pop version with Sugar Ray lead singer Mark McGrath made top ten in the United Kingdom and Germany. The follow-up singles, "Don't!" and "I Ain't No Quitter" did not fare as well, the former made Top 20 on Adult Contemporary, while the latter did not gain enough airplay to even crack the Country Top 40.
In August 2005, she released the single "Shoes" from the Desperate Housewives soundtrack. It only peaked at No. 29 on the country chart and therefore, a video, which was scheduled to be created, was cancelled.
At the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 16, 2007, Twain said she was currently writing songs for a new album, and was doing a "lot of soul searching" and "indulging in the writing."
Twain joined Canadian singer Anne Murray on the song "You Needed Me" on Murray's Anne Murray Duets: Friends and Legends album released November 13, 2007 in Canada, and on January 15, 2008 in the US. On November 12 Twain made her first television appearance since her split from now ex-husband Robert "Mutt" Lange, where she appeared as a surprise presenter at the 42nd CMA Awards.

News-Register - - Wheeling, W. Va.
Sunday, August 26, 1979
The Budroys of 1950, winners of the Wheeling Twilight League championship, pictured on the old Hitchman Field in South Benwood. Front row, left to right, Frog Garcia, Mike McChesky, Tony Chieffalo, Frank Padlow, Emil Gongola, Sam Vucelich, Mickey Briglia, Anthony Gongola and Vic Gongola. Second row, left to right, John Howard, Norm Grennan, Mitch Vucelich, Stan Chincheck, Al Zimmerman, Roy Filben-manager, Ed Zimla, Dick Gordon-score keeper, and Chester Zimla. Not pictured was Hal Cox, known for his submarine pitch.
The Ohio Valley has long been known for its fine athletes, and many of the better sportsmen have gone on to compete on a national level in their field---notably the Neikro brothers of major league baseball fame.
But the various baseball leagues in the area have not been without great players and managers. In the 1950's, one of the best semi-pro baseball leagues around was the Wheeling Twilight League. The championship was won that year by the Budroys, a team organized in McMechen in 1947 by Rob Filben and Bud Slonaker.
One of the members of that championship team was Tony Chieffalo, now director of District 6 civic affairs for the West Virginia Department of Highways.
Other members of the 1950 championship team were Mickey Briglia, Stan Chinchuck, Ed and Chester Zimla, Lou "Frog" Garcia, Mike McChesky, Frank Padlow, Sam and Mitch Vucelich, Emil, Anthony and Vic Gongola, John Howard, Norm Grennan, Al Zimmerman, Hal Cox, Dick Gordon and manager Roy Filben.
Chieffalo played center field when he was a senior at Union High School in Benwood in 1946. The high school team was beaten in the semi-finals that year by Wellsburg High School and Al Fedak.
While Chieffalo played for the Budroys the whole Twilight League was loaded with outstanding players. Some of the other teams in the League were the Elm Grove Civics, Warwood Redbirds, Bernhardt's, Bridgeport Eagles, Cave Club, Polish Athletics, the Pepsi Cola team out of Moundsville, and ex-congressman Francis Love's team, the Loves.
"Back then it was a tough league," Chieffalo said. "Semi-pro then was more than semi-pro today."
"The Elm Grove Civics were usually the top team, with people like Ernie Ewing, Bob Castilow, and Frank and Joe Figaretti," he said.
Some of the Twilight League players went on to join minor league teams. From the Budroys, Anthony Gongola and Stan Chinchuck later went to play on the St. Louis Cardinals' farm team; Martin Mason and Emil Gongola played for the Cleveland farm team; and Pete Gongola played Triple A baseball.
Other players in the league included John Chuchiak, DOH county supervisor for Brooke County; John Carenbauer, Wheeling City councilman; Henry Marockie, superintendent for Ohio County schools; Red Staufer; Andy Chuchiak; Bob Milliken and Chuck Biehl. Milliken went on to pitch for the Brooklyn Dodgers and played in the 1952 World Series; Biehl went to the Washington Senators; and Andy Chuchiak went to the minor leagues, Chieffalo said.
Eddie and Chester Zimla both played in the league. Eddie runs Rudy and Eddie's Bar in McMechen, and Chester is a distance runner, according to Chieffalo.
League player Gene Freese went to the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis teams; the late Harold Vitalie, who used to coach the Wheeling Legion team, played Triple A ball; Chester Sokol, now head of the Ohio County Office of Emergency Preparedness, played minor league ball; and everyone knows where Phil Neikro is. He started playing in the Twilight League for the Cave Club, Chieffalo said.
Pete Gongola played some minor league ball with Chuck Tanner, present manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
"Our league was more than just semi-pro," Cheiffalo said. "Some of those players could play with the pros now, especially with the expansion of the major leagues."
The Budroys also used to play at the West Virginia State Penitentiary on Sundays, Chieffalo said, and one time Honus Wagner brought all his all-stars down to the pen from Pittsburgh to play the Budroys."
"Our whole team went up to try out for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1949. It was a thrill for me just to be there. I knew I'd never make it, but they thought a lot of Stan Chinchuck, Micky Briglia and Sam Vucelich," Cheiffalo said. "They didn't pick any of us, but the Cardinals got Chinchuck and Anthony Gongola."
"I wasn't known for my hitting, Chieffalo said, just my fielding."
The fields used by the Twilight League were at 26th Street and 47th Street in Wheeling, the Bridge Park on Wheeling Island, Garden Park in Warwood, the East End Field in Moundsville, and the old Hitchman Field in South Benwood, "well known for its coal dust infield," Chieffalo said.
Chieffalo was one of the coaches for the Moundsville American Legion baseball this year. But baseball is not the only sport he likes.
He coached grade school basketball for a while at Union Elementary School. One of his players was Bob Butts, who went on to become a fullback for the Ohio State University football team. He also coached the DOH basketball team, and has managed the DOH slow-pitch softball team.
Chieffalo spent 15 years working with the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Explorers.
He lives in Benwood with his wife, Betty. They have three children and four grandchildren.
