MISSISSIPPI STATE, Miss., Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Effective classroom arts integration can reduce or eliminate educational achievement gaps for economically disadvantaged students, according to a Mississippi State University research report.
In other words, when teachers reinforce academic concepts with the arts, students learn more and score higher on standardized tests.
MSU's John C. Stennis Institute of Government and Community Development generated the report, which evaluated the impacts of the Mississippi Whole Schools Initiative. The program supports teachers' efforts to use the arts--composing, painting, drawing or sculpting; playing, singing or listening to music; and dancing and dramatic performance--to foster retention and learning.
Judith Philips, Stennis research associate, headed the development of "Arts Integration and the Mississippi Arts Commission's Whole Schools Initiative: A Stennis Institute Study for Decision-Makers." The report initially was presented at the Mississippi Arts Commission's 2013 Whole Schools Initiative Summer Institute.
Philips said the research verifies that effective arts integration reinforces classroom learning.
"Schools that effectively implement arts integration have either significantly reduced or completely eliminated the educational achievement gap for economically disadvantaged students," she said. "This research indicates that arts integration can achieve that objective in Mississippi public schools."
Currently, almost 5,500 Mississippi students in eight public and four private elementary schools are participating in WSI. The study compared results on language arts and mathematics Mississippi Curriculum Tests, fourth-grade writing assessments and fifth-grade science tests to scores of students not enrolled in arts integrated classrooms.
"The percentage of students scoring 'proficient or above' on standardized tests was significantly higher at schools participating in the Whole Schools Initiative that had effectively implemented the WSI arts integration model, when compared to student performance statewide and when compared to student performance for the school district within which the WSI school was located," Phillips told arts commission participants during her presentation.
Karen Brown, MSU instructor in curriculum, instruction and workforce development, teaches an arts integration course in MSU's College of Education. She said she's not surprised at the Stennis report's findings because students, especially young children, gravitate to learning that way.
"Not only is it repetition, but it's time spent whenever a child is learning something in a different way, that means they're learning it again," Brown said. "They're repeating it, and so the immersion in their learning is a different form--through the arts--but it's also more time spent on the content, so they start thinking critically and creatively."
Brown said all MSU elementary education majors are required to take the arts integration course. She also takes a student group to WSI's annual summer institute.
"Arts integration, from the perspective of a classroom teacher, is teaching both the content area and the arts together, and that takes some special training and special knowledge, but when you do that, it immerses the child in the content," Brown said.
Phillips said arts integration requires quality professional development and mentorships for teachers. Providing that training for teachers requires additional resources that many state school systems may not be able to provide, she acknowledged.
"Given our state's budget constraints, the Stennis Institute recognizes that additional resources to support these efforts will need to come from either federal grants or from philanthropic organizations," Phillips said. "To that end, we collaborated with the arts commission and wrote a grant for the commission to the U.S. Department of Education for an Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination Program grant."
If awarded, the DOE grant should pay for a national workshop leader and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts teaching artist to visit Mississippi on a quarterly basis.
Phillips said the visiting expert would provide professional development, conduct student learning initiatives and train state teaching artists in implementing Moving through Math, a curriculum using movement, music, spatial reasoning, and interpersonal skills to teach mathematics, verbal and visual skills.
Brown said parents interested in having their children involved in arts integration should inquire with their respective school system administrators or inform other parents and teachers at parent-teacher organization meetings. Then, local advocates could request the school system apply for a WSI grant.
"I'd like to see increased involvement, funding and awareness from stakeholders, legislators, teachers, parents--everyone," Brown said. "We have data that arts integration is working and making a difference in Mississippi classrooms."

When you buy a pair, they are sold as a front and rear pair, but the difference is not distinguishable and nothing on the package or in the enclosed instructions made note of this. I haven't noticed any increased noise, and I often drive with the roof open, so I think the aeroblade is a smart design. As far as roof racks go, they look nice and look like they will last a long time.

As President Barack Obama presses his case for a strike on Syria, a new national survey shows him swimming against a strong tide of public opinion that doesn't want the United States to get involved.
The CNN/ORC International poll released on Monday shows that even though eight in 10 Americans believe that Bashar al-Assad's regime gassed its own people, a strong majority doesn't want Congress to pass a resolution authorizing a military strike against it.
More than seven in 10 say such a strike would not achieve significant goals for the United States and a similar amount say it's not in the national interest for the country to get involved in Syria's civil war.
The poll comes at the start of a pivotal week for the president.
The Senate is expected to take up the resolution after returning from its summer recess on Monday while Obama participates in a round of interviews with the major television outlets. Wolf Blitzer's interview with Obama will air Monday on "The Situation Room" at 6 p.m. ET.
Amid a flurry of briefings by White House officials, Obama will travel to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to make his case with lawmakers hours before he speaks to the nation in a prime-time address.
"Even as he works members of Congress one by one in small group settings, President Obama's biggest challenge is the American public at large," said John King, CNN chief national correspondent.
"More than seven in 10 Americans simply don't see a military response making any difference. They don't see it doing any good. They're very skeptical, post Iraq and even post Libya and post Egypt, that the United States can do something in a limited way in the Middle East and walk away with a success. And so the skepticism is driving it right now."
The stakes are high for the president.
After pushing for strikes against Syria, Obama unexpectedly announced on August 31 that he would ask Congress to authorize military action. Failing to get Congress to go along would be an embarrassment for the commander in chief.
"He'll go to establishing a new high bar to what it means to being a lame duck this early," CNN contributor and Republican strategist Ana Navarro said. "It would be devastating, I think, for rest of his agenda."
But Stephanie Cutter, another CNN contributor who was Obama's 2012 deputy campaign manager, said Congress's not passing the resolution would be "a blow to the United States, not a blow to the president. It's a blow to the United States' authority all over the world. And unprecedented."
"That's why you're going to see some members of Congress vote for that particular reason. Some said they're voting for that particular reason," she said.
The Senate could vote on the resolution as early as Wednesday and the outcome there is very much in doubt. Even more uncertain are prospects in the House where Republican leaders say they'll wait to see what happens in the Senate first.
"Congressional approval would help Obama a little, but a majority would still oppose airstrikes against military targets in Syria," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "If Congress authorizes military action, 55% of Americans would still oppose airstrikes."
The president has had at least a small majority of public support behind him in conflicts involving the United States over the past 20 years.
Eighty-six percent of those surveyed in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll less than a month after the 9/11 terror attacks favored military action, and 56% backed the United States and its allies in creating a "no-fly" zone over Libya in 2011.
Only U.S. involvement in NATO airstrikes on Serbia in 1999 during the Clinton administration split the public down the middle, with 43% supporting involvement and 40% opposing it.
While 64% supported using American ground troops in Iraq in 2003, intelligence indicating Saddam Hussein was building weapons of mass destruction was later discredited. That has contributed to public doubts about Obama administration claims of evidence showing that al-Assad's regime gassed its own people on August 21 outside Damascus, killing more than 1,400 people.
Fifty-nine percent of people questioned say they don't think Congress should approve a proposed resolution authorizing military action against Syria for up to 90 days -- an initial 60-day window plus another 30 following congressional notification -- but prohibiting the use of ground troops. About 40% support that plan.
If Congress rejects the Syria resolution, the White House has said that the president still has the authority to strike.
"I think it would be a mistake for me to jump the gun and speculate because right now I'm working to get as much support as possible out of Congress," Obama said on Friday when asked by CNN senior White House correspondent Brianna Keilar what he would do if the resolution failed.
But the poll indicates Americans are quite clear on that point: More than seven in 10 say they would oppose U.S. airstrikes against Syria if Congress does not authorize it.
The debate over Syria has caused intra-party divides among both parties: Hawkish Republicans and moderate Democrats say the United States should strike, while the libertarian wing of the GOP says involvement is not in the U.S. interest. Liberal Democrats say there are alternatives to military action that haven't been exhausted.
The poll also suggests those surveyed who identified themselves as Democrats and Republicans don't see eye to eye on the resolution. Fifty-six percent of Democrats think Congress should pass it, but only 36% of Republicans and 29% of independents say the same.

Barnes in this match revealed himself once more as one of the most remarkable bowlers that this country has ever produced. He has a positively wonderful command of the leg break.... His great height makes it difficult for the batsman to follow the flight of the ball. He is useful on every kind of wicket, whereas few bowlers of his pace are able to bowl on a sticky wicket. - JACK HOBBS, 'My Cricket Memories' (1924)

Wow my side sucks.
You're joking right? Compared to normal Drafts it's pretty ordinary, but this particular Draft with only 15 million to spend, and a lot of poor players on show (to say the least), has been really quite difficult.
Take a look at the other teams morgieb - it's a relative thing.

I didn't see a topic on this, or I may have just missed it, but I do have a question concerning tracing one's ancestors. Talking with my Mother-in-Law I discovered that one of her great-grandfathers served with the Confederate army and a Great-Uncle (or something like that, it was his brother in any case) served with the Union army. Now, we don't know the first names of these two gentlemen, only that they came from the area around Romney (W)Va. Her father (My wife's grandfather) pointedly did not care for anything that happened in the past so if he knew, he took it to the grave with him. I was wondering if anyone out there would have any idea on how in the world we could narrow this down a bit. She'd really like to know, and so would I. |

First, if you know their names, you may get their Service Record (the cost for each is $17.00). This will tell you where they enlisted, etc. This website should help you do that http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html and this site for ordering records http://www.archives.gov/research/order/index.html For a quicker, more informal approach, albeit it has WAY less information, it is interesting, use this website http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm I hope this helps!!

Tim, I may be able to find something for you at the Chattanooga library. They have CSA service and pension records for most southern states and the service records for the Union. You will have to contact the National Archives at the link given above for Union pension records. Email me at email@example.com with the names and as much info as you have and I will see what I can find for you. Colleen aka CWgal |

Hey CWGal! If you get the chance, I'd appreciate any info on Albert Sailhorst. He was a sergeant in Scott'ss TN Battery, Confederate. I have his service record, but it is confusing, as it has him dying in Selma, Alabama, then, dying again in a hospital in Chattanooga......I don't know where he came from, his family status, etc... I portray him as a reenactor, and I'd like more info on him. Thanks! Albert Sailhorst, Cannoneer, Scott's TN Battery Last edited on Mon Mar 27th, 2006 08:15 pm by Albert Sailhorst |

Thanks to both of you for responding. My Mother-in-law is checking to verify if we have any additonal biographical information, but right now all I have is the surname (Powell) and that they were from Romney, VA (or WVA now.) I will send you an e-mail when I know more. |

Albert, I will be glad to see what I can find. It is possible that his family filed for a pension. I hope so, because the pension records are loaded with personal information. Email me with any more information that you might have. Colleen aka CWgal |

CW, Thanks!! I couldn't find a pension application for Tennessee....He was recruited in Memphis, for Bankhead's Battery, in early 1861. When Bankhead got promoted and went to Texas, the battery was commanded by Capt. William Scott, so it became Scott's Battery. A good portion of the men that enlisted came from Arkansas, some from Mississippi and some from Tennessee; so, he could have lived anywhere......His Serrvice Record does not indicate where he lived prior to the war. Thanks again! Albert Sailhorst, Cannoneer, Scott's Battery |

Film Study: Henne, running game, and first-team defense vs. Falcons
Miami's second and third-team was able to salvage the night, going on a 28-6 run in the game's final three quarters. But unfortunately for the Dolphins, the starters had an embarrassing showing in the first quarter, falling behind 17-0 early on.
In the Dolphins' defense, though, the Falcons' second scoring drive took place after Sparano had already pulled the first-team D. But that doesn't ease the fact that Atlanta marched right down the field on what is supposed to be a top five defense. Doing so mostly on the ground against what we thought was one of the most dominant defensive lines in football.
Add that to Chad Henne still staring down receivers and the running game getting no push from the interior offensive line, and the Dolphins left the Georgia Dome with more questions than when they entered. Having said that, I decided to go back and look at the film this morning.
I have no way of posting the video, but here is my analysis of what went wrong on Henne's two interceptions, the first-team defense's second series, and Daniel Thomas' four carries.
Chad Henne's two picks
-First interception: Henne's first pick, on his very first pass of the preseason, was more Fasano's fault than his. Fasano should have made the catch. But if I'm Brian Daboll watching the film with Henne, I'm pointing out a few things to my starting quarterback.
First off, he had a wide open Charles Clay in the flat, but it appeared Henne was fixated on Fasano from the snap. Henne also probably put a little too much zip on the pass considering it only traveled about five yards past the line of scrimmage and if the ball wasn't slightly behind Fasano, maybe he would have been able to reel it in.
-Second interception: Bess is open initially when the corner bites on the play-action. For whatever reason, Henne hesitates. Could of been as a result of Bess running the wrong route, as Sparano indicated last night. But if that was the case, Henne needs to look elsewhere, or at least tuck it away, take a sack, and live to see the next down.
Instead, Bess puts his hands up signaling for the ball, prompting Henne to try and force the pass in between the corner, who had dropped back into the throwing lane, and the safety over the top. Just a terrible read and decision by Henne.

LOVED this race. Super convenient packet pick-up / start-finish line. Easy 15 minute walk from downtown hotels to the start, which was covered, indoors and had a giant space heater. Given the small size of the race, it was a few minute walk to the start line just five minutes before the start - no freezing before the race. The finish was a minute away from that same covered/heated area. Good fan and volunteer support for most of the course. The only negative is the course does run through a lot of neighborhoods and industrial areas - certainly not the prettiest course I've seen, but some parts were really nice. Very well organized. Definitely one of my favorite races!
This race was near-perfect for me. Everything was run smoothly. Thanks to all who helped put this on. I have zero doubts about running this again. Here are my highlights: - Small & easy packet pickup (with free, unlimited candy bars!). - Heaters in the pavilion before the race to keep warm. - Quick, on-time start (no waiting in the cold while someone yells announcements into a megaphone which no one can hear anyway). - Perfect fall weather. - Crowd support for the first 8 miles was great! Saw my family 4 times. - Running right next to the river was beautiful! - Friendly volunteers, and abundant aid stations in the second half. - The hills at mile 20 were tough but short, a good change of pace. - The finish line on the railroad trestle was super-cool. - Best post-race food I've seen! (The yogurt and hot chocolate were especially appreciated) - Free showers at the YMCA (so I didn't have to drive home smelly). - Very nice medal.
This was my 14th time running Harrisburg (I obviously like the race very much). I was one of about 100 runners and walkers who took advantage of the 6:30 a.m. early start. This race is definitely 'walker friendly.' Although I am extremely fussy, I found everything to be perfect. Everyone that was involved with the race was very helpful and professional and for $60, I felt that I truly got my money's worth. Some of the scenery is quite beautiful, especially the bridges along the Susquehanna River early in the morning. The post-race food was among the best that I have ever encountered. Great medal and T-shirt as well. As always, I will look forward to returning to Harrisburg for the 15th time in 2013, and I will continue to strongly recommend this great race to others.
I too signed up for Harrisburg the night the NYC Marathon was cancelled. Aside from the aforementioned hills between miles 18 and 20, the only other inclines were related to bridge viaducts. Organization was great, with day of race number pickup and a well-marked course. Water stops were every 4km or thereabouts, so I was glad I had my own supplementary fluids. Gels were distributed at three distinct points on the course between miles 16 and 22. No pomp at the start, not even any announcements...just the horn. It was a refreshing, excellent race. I strongly recommend this race.
This was my first Harrisburg marathon and it was well worth it. This is certainly best deal I ever got for the entry fee. For only $70 we got very nice technical shirt, great support during race and excellent post-race party including medal. It is nice that they had a variety of food choices including sandwiches not just chewy bagels like most other places. There was no waiting line for anything and race organizer was very responsive to emails before event. The course was scenic for the most part with some significant hills at mile 19 and very nice finish on walnut street bridge. It was very nice that they allowed an early start for walkers. Hotel was very close and convenient. Overall, an excellent race well worth your money!
I did not train for this marathon. I had only run25 miles per week and did no long runs. I finished in 5:34 but treated this as a long run training for my next marathon. The course was great with my only complaint being the industrial section from mile 13 to mile 16. The organizers did wonderful work adjusted to the surprise of NYC marathon entrants who signed up the week before! Beautiful day! Nice City!
My hats off to the race committee for the excellent job they did. The volunteers were awesome and the course was great. The race accommodated an extra 900 runners with a week's notice. The Radisson offered late checkout and shuttle service to the start of the race. The hills in the woods were challenging, however the views took my mind off of them. Great post-race party even for us late finishers. I wcould definitely recommend this marathon.
As many others, I diverted to the Harrisburg marathon after the cancellation of the NYC marathon. This 'smaller' organization has a lot to be proud off - everything went seamless and smooth. The weather conditions were perfect and the stage was set to achieve a BQ-time. as forwarned by the reviews from previous years, the (short) steep inclines / declines between mile 18 and 20 were tough - at the same token, they definitely made this an honest marathon. I kept the legs going but the hills drained the juice and I had to switch to cruise control (mind over matter) and toughen it out for the last 6 miles . Thankfully I had built a nice cushion with a fast first half, setting a personal best for 10 mile and half marathon (I can't help thinking that a lot of fast runners diverted from NYC - they were the ideal pacers). I ran the last 6 miles on adrenaline and the belief that a BQ time was in reach - ultimately I achieved this landmark milestone by shaving 11 minutes of my personal best time and clearing the BQ time by almost 4 minutes. Through this achievement, the Harrisburg marathon will forever have a special meaning for me and I will likely come back in the future. Some opportunites for improvement: - there were no times posted on the course, nor did I notice a timemat at the far end of the course (?). I knew through my mile splits that I was in good shape to meet my BQ-goal, but it wasn't until 50 yards from the finsih that I was certain. - While the gravel road at mile 4 was smooth, the same could not be said of the gravel road at mile 17 - 18. The big stones on this stretch were not ideal and should be avoided Overall: Great organization, perfect weather conditions, an honest and nice course, and achieving a personal best / BQ-qualifier. What more can we ask for?
I have run this marathon 6 times as of today. I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for this race. The organization is incredible. The volunteers give a fantastic feel to this small town marathon. Since the NYC Marathon was cancelled this year, there were more runners and the fan support was at least doubled, as many were cheering for those who were to run NYC. The logistics of same day packet pick up make this race a winner for me since my commute to the start is only 90 minutes. The adding of the hills between miles 17 and 20 create more variation (I love hills) and make the course more challenging. Thank you for another fantastic race this year. I plan on making next year my 7th running.
Harrisburg was a fantastic race! I loved the smaller field of runners, it really allowed you to give your best effort. The packet pick up was a breeze, I think the race shirt is one of the best I have ever received and the bag was FULL of Hersheys candy! The medals were also very nice. This is a race where I finally ran a sub-4 hour marathon, and I never thought I would see the day! But with crisp November weather, perfect race day conditions and a fairly flat course, it was the perfect setting for a PR. Be warned that the hills from miles 18-20 are somewhat harsh, but I slogged up them anyway. Some of the course can be a little boring, like going past industrial parks and having semi-trucks grumble past you in fairly close proximity, but sometimes in a marathon you really have no choice (even races like Disney have the sewage treatment plant you get to run past) but to endure less-than-scenic settings. Also, the final mile along the river is great&until you have to climb up a steep hill to cross the bridge to the finish. That was sort of a cruel joke as well! But it was worth it for a triumphant finish. Definitely would run this race again!

Prof. Awarded the 2011 Latino Literature Prize in Poetry
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Miguel Angel Zapata, associate professor of romance languages and literatures at and a noted Peruvian poet and scholar, has been awarded the 2011 Latino Literature Prize in the Poetry Category for his book Fragmentos de una manzana y otros poemas (Fragments of an Apple and Other Poems), published by the Biblioteca Sibila/BBVA Foundation, one of the leading and most prestigious publishers in Spain. The foundation's advisory board is composed of such distinguished members as Mario Vargas Llosa (recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature) and Antonio Gamoneda (recipient of the Cervantes Prize in Literature).
Sponsored by the Latin American Writers Institute (LAWI) of the City University of New York, the Latino Literature Prize is awarded to the best books in poetry and fiction published during the calendar year. This prize has been awarded in previous years to such distinguished writers as Pulitzer Prize-winner Oscar Hijuelos; Ilan Stavans, the Lewis-Sebring Professor at Amherst College; and Marjorie Agosin, a professor at Wellesley College), among others.
According to the panel of judges, Dr. Zapata's book was selected as the winner for "having infused Latin American poetry with the freshest and most original style and imagery." The judges' report also states that Dr. Zapata's collection of poetry "was awarded the prize not only for the unique voice he offers up, but also for a poetic practice characterized by a mixing of registers and styles. His fine workmanship of the image as well as his cultural and multiple literary references turn the reading of this book into a rewarding poetic and intellectual adventure."
Dr. Zapata is considered one of the most innovative poets of his generation in Peru and one of Latin America's most influential poetic voices over the past 10 years. He is the author of several books of poetry and essays. Among his recent published works are the celebrated Ensayo sobre la rosa. Poesía selecta (2010), Mario Vargas Llosa and the Persistence of Memory (2006), A Sparrow in the House of Seven Patios (2005), El cielo que me escribe (2002), Moradas de la voz. Notas sobre poesía latinoamericana contemporánea (2002), and Escribir bajo el polvo (2000).
Founded in 1987, LAWI is devoted to the creation and promotion of Latin American literature in the United States and abroad. Its mission is to build bridges between Latin American writers and scholars in the United States with their counterparts in Latin America and other parts of the world. LAWI received in 1991 the Manhattan Borough President's "Excellence in Arts Award."
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students can choose from about 140 undergraduate and more than 150 graduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business; engineering; communication; education, health and human services; and honors studies, as well as a School of Law and the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.

The Gathering
Sleepy Buildings
Acoustic albums hardly ever wind up in middle ground; they're usually either excellent or awful. With just about any music, be it metal or something mellower in nature, it's very hard to determine what will translate well to an acoustic version. While certainly very pop friendly in its day, the Alice in Chains Unplugged album was a prime example of a success, where Ulver's Kveldssanger was ultimately uninspiring and quite boring. The Gathering generally play a different style of music than either of those bands did at the points in their career when those albums were released, so it was anyone's guess how their self-proclaimed "trip-rock" would turn out with the amps turned off and the acoustics brought out. What pains me most about not being blown away by this album is that it's extremely obvious that the band put tremendous work into rearranging their songs and is very happy and passionate about playing their reworkings. The result is something I've never come across before in an acoustic record; for the most part, mediocrity.
When I first heard Sleepy Buildings, I was terribly bored and had nearly no desire to continue listening, but, since I have such respect and admiration for the band because of their previous works, I kept listening and it has grown on me. I've had the album for over three months, though, and it's only made its way from completely bland to pleasant but certainly not awe-inspiring as I'd have liked it to be. It has matured well, but when it only goes so far in such a length of time, it's hard to imagine that it'll become anything terribly special in the future. At this point, the best I can say is that it will get continued play when I'm in the mood for music that's mellow and not at all demanding. It's something best suited for winding down or reading a book.
The arrangements vary, but are mostly very sparse, and this stripped down quality is what detracts most from the appeal the songs had in their previous incarnations. The Gathering's best attribute is their density of sound and when that's taken away, the power they once had is nearly all gone. Another problem with this new bare take is that Anneke's vocals retain all the power they had on the studio releases the songs came from. That creates quite a discrepancy between the subtleties of the music and the vocals, which are used to drive most of the songs. To her credit, her voice still sounds wonderful, especially impressive considering that this is a live recording, and she does have some moments of tenderness that match the music nicely, but for the most part the singing would do better on a dense studio recording.
Some positive aspects of Sleepy Buildings are the song selection, musicianship, and the production. The songs span nearly the entire career of The Gathering, excluding only their most recent album and EP, Souvenirs and Black Light District respectively. It also includes a new song, the title track that, while brief, is probably the best suited for the environment it's played in and proof that were they to write an album of new songs geared specifically towards being played on acoustic instruments, they'd do a fine job. A few other songs have turned out very well, but too few to make this a great album. Those that are still highly worth listening to are, "Eleanor", "Amity", and the lengthy, but always enjoyable "Travel". These reworkings require tremendous musical restraint and it's definitely achieved. None of the instruments are ever dazzlingly technical, but that's exactly how they should be on an acoustic record. There are absolutely no flaws, and the varying dynamics are well handled. The production is also top notch, something many live recordings lack. This was finely engineered and mixed; all instruments are clear but never intrusive on the others.
Sleepy Buildings isn't a bad album by any stretch of the imagination. There's nothing that could ever be considered unpleasant, it's just that many of the things that make The Gathering so special when playing their usual style of music are absent here. I guess that's the point of an acoustic record, to be stripped down, but that sort of thing can only work for certain bands and still retain the quality of what they regularly play. I'm not saying that fans of the band shouldn't make it a point to get the album, chances are it will become something you do desire playing occasionally, I'm just a bit disappointed that it didn't do as much for me as their music usually does. The bottom line is that Sleepy Buildings is very well executed, and played with much enthusiasm from the band, but that level of enthusiasm isn't too likely to be shared by the listeners.

The Black Dahlia Murder
Right off the bat, I'd like to make you aware that I am a fan of The Black Dahlia Murder, but far from a fanboy. I don't froth at the mouth for the prospect of new BDM music, but I dig it enough to check it out whenever they release something. They seem to be a somewhat polarizing band, but I lie somewhere in the middle finding a little something to extol as well as a little to criticize.
Nocturnal is the band's third full-length release for Metal Blade and their best work to date. These Detroit natives take a lot of flack for a lack of originality, which is understandable, but there are bands that have a lot less creativity that don't get crucified like these guys do. This album is essentially more of the same heavily Euro-influenced thrashy melodic death metal BDM has become known for, however the band have matured and improved over time, and from a writing and creativity standpoint are on the top of their game for this release.
First of all, the band is still quite energetic and in your face with a lot of their melodies, though this time around they experiment with a lot more layering and have also allowed more subtleties into their sound, as evidenced in the layered atmospheric choruses of "Deathmask Divine." Nocturnal features a higher quantity of solos that thankfully don't lack in quality exhibiting technical dexterity with a biting melodic edge. Trevor Strnad's high/low vocal attack is still in effect and the man sounds more forceful than before with more umph in the lows and a sharp rasp in the highs. BDM has always enlisted talented drummers and new skinsman Shannon Lucas is no exception to that trend. The dude blasts fast, hits hard, and does some really creative things with his kick drums.
While on the topic of the kick drums, the sound is a little more thin and weak than I'm used to hearing out of BDM, but the rest of the set sounds really solid. As always, the guitars sound absolutely huge. They're dense, crunchy, warm, and have a high level of clarity to boot. As with the guitars, the vocals feature more layering to them, which is a nice touch, adding to the more mature and professional feel of the album.
So once again, The Black Dahlia Murder have released another quality effort with an increased focus on musicianship and songwriting. While they aren't starting any revolution with Noctural, I think it's safe to say they've made enough improvements to win over some of their critics and please their existing fans all the more.

The My Buggy Buddy Clip is an essential piece of pram kit and the answer to every parent's prayers! It allows parents to carry bags on their prams safely and securely. The loop shaped device could not be easier to use. It simply snaps on to the pram handle and is held in place using a metal clip.
Multiple bags including shopping bags, changing bags and handbags can be strung onto the loop before the clip is locked back in place, putting an end to the frustrating and potentially dangerous practice of steering prams with one hand while holding bags with another.
Plus the foam coating ensures that the clip doesn't mark or damage your pushchair handles.
I have two of these on both of my buggies. They are great for hanging your hand bag off, securing your change bag to the buggy, hanging your shopping off and for attaching the dog lead to so that you have two hands to control the buggy and walk the dog. The only downside is if you don't quite get the clip right it can damage the foam on your buggy handle.
This is used on my mountain buggy as the handle bars are quite thick. It's a quality product and easy to put on pram but I've found it a little tricky getting it off. But overall I am happy with this product.
Fab - just don't forget a weight so that the bags don't weigh your pram down!
I bought 2 of these as the handle of the buggy is continuous ( rather than 2 handles). They work perfectly to carry anything with a handle or loop. However 1 was really stiff to use so had to oil it
I have a graco evo with a large bar handle this fits perfecct over it and is extremely handy the foam gives it grip to stay in place.

Welcome Island Girl! We're getting more and more people on the thread. Hooray. How did you stumble onto the thread? Is it thru a search engine?Originally Posted by Islandgirl04
If you intend to send something to Oppa, do let him know that this thread exists and that there are many people outside of Korea and Japan who love and adore him! Come back soon, dearest Oppa!
Oppa in Mongolia, yeaahhhh!!!! Too bad I missed him...Otherwise I would be one of those screaming girls trying to get his autograph...Oppa's the second best in Mongolia...The first obviously BYJ...SJS's not bad either.. I"m sorry I love you? i haven't watched it yet but lots of mongolians love it anyways
These kinda look like Mongolian traditional clothes but mixed with Western style....
Oppa meeting the president, he's no longer the president but i hate that dood...watch him stare at Oppa's gorgeousness cause he's so freaking ugly!
so the fashion show....
Thanks maskofchina for welcoming me to this forum. To answer your question, I've been looking throughout the internet for websites on SSH for a short while now and this forum seemed to have the most information about him. I am still trying to get caught up on reading the previous threads and I've learned quite a lot about him already. But, I want to learn more about him. So, please excuse me if I ask a lot of silly questions. Other forums I've seen are either in another language that I don't know or are just not very informative. I love reading these threads because so many of you know so much about him, are able to translate, and post tons of pics of him!
Ask away, Islandgirl, there are no silly questions here, because all of us are curious and like to know more about Oppa SSH. Some of us have been Oppa's fan for many years, and others are new fans. I'm not sure if you are able to get all his drama series and movies where you are staying, but it is worth watching them if you want to experience all of Oppa's work.Originally Posted by Islandgirl04
He's matured a lot since he entered showbiz and you get to see him play different roles in the different movies/drama. Other than playing the role of a tragic lover (Autumn, Summer, Calla), he's also a great comedian (3Men 3 Women, Cool Guy, Popcorn). He is convincing in action movies too (Ice Rain, Cheat, Make it Big). Oppa is also a great singer and successful model! Wow... the list goes on. All in all, our Oppa is one ultra talented, super sexy, gloriously gorgeous male specimen! Plastic surgery or not, he's one lucky man because he seems to have it all! No wonder he's got ajummas running/clinging to him!
We try to have a lot of fun on this thread. If you ever feel like being wacky, just start something and we'll try to join in to have some good fun!

Well, maskofchina, I do have some questions so I'll just ask. I read somewhere that he made a movie called "Virtual Twilight" but I can't find any info. about it. Is this the same movie as "So Close"? And, what character did he play in "So Close"? What language did he speak since the movie itself is not Korean made? Did he play a big role in it? Also, what is his movie "Cheat" about? I can't find any information on that one either. And, can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of "Summer Scent" in which the english subtitles are legible and makes sense? I have a copy of it but the english subtitles are terrible. For me, it just kept me from really enjoying the series; it's integral for me to understand what's being said. The copy I have has a white box/background with the main characters leaning against each other with tea-field backdrop. The title, now that I realize it, is more chinese than korean, and the quality is pretty poor. A friend of mine has an original copy that she got which was sent directly from Korea. However, the person she bought it from is no longer selling copies
Of the movies/series SSH made, I've seened Autumn in My Heart, Summer Scent, Calla, and The Guy was Cool! I loved him in every one of them! I'm hoping to see more of his work and hopefully hear some of his songs someday! How many albums has me made? Well, thank you in advance for helping me to know Oppa even more!
yes, virtual twilight and so close are the same movie. he plays yen, not a major character but he plays love interest of the older sister, lynn...everyone speaks cantonese in it even oppa but his voice is dubbed...i haen't seen cheat either dunnoy what's about sorry...Originally Posted by Islandgirl04
and his songs

I Love You
Hi Islanggirl, try my best to answer the questions you asked....Originally Posted by Islandgirl04
The movie was released both as So Close and Virtual Twilight. It starred 3 Asian beauties and Oppa as the love interest of one of the characters, played Shu Qi. If you just want to watch the movie for Oppa, then you'll likely be disappointed. The DVD version offers English as a spoken option, english subtitles also available. Oppa appears less than 15 minutes in the entire movie. However, you can get quite a lot of footage of him in Hong Kong promoting the movie on youtube. Oppa looked very handsome and looked so happy in all the clips.
If you want to see more of him, try his other movies like Ice Rain, Message (one story in a series), Make It Big, he played much bigger starring roles in those.
Cheat, also released at Police and Blood in some regions. In this kdrama, Oppa played a uprighteous policeman who was wrongfully accused of misconduct, he later became a conman (but a good one). Oppa must have been superfit when he played this role, there was lots of stunts and he exhibited his strengths doing off-the-floor push-ups and sit-ups etc.
Summer Scent, I've only ever seen Korean/Chinese/Japan versions. Never ever seen a English dubbed version anywhere.
Have you checked out YesAsia, it offers many different releases and the price vary widely. Generally, the price on this site is not cheap. Also, the shipping also takes a long time. Drove me berserk just waiting for the stuff to arrive!
You must try to watch The Cool Guy, it's a very entertaining movie and Oppa was excellent in the role. Most people who have seen it liked it and it was big in Japan.
Oppa is in the army now so he hasn't released any new work. Video stores also seem to carry only recent popular titles. May take you some effort to hunt for Oppa's older work. I've tried looking for 3 Men 3 Women and only succeeded in getting one season.
Good Luck, let us know how it goes.
Again, thank you so much to those who were willing to take the time to answer my questions. It's great to know more about him and his past works. I wish I could see all of them, but it's so hard to get them in the U.S. Can someone tell me more about "The Message" in which he worked with Choi Ji-Woo? Has anyone seen it? What is it like? And, I keep hearing about "A Day"; I've seen a nine minute version of it on YouTube, but is it a full-lengh movie?
I am currently awaiting for the arrival of "Calla" in the mail. I'm really excited to see it!
The Message, I haven't seen it but you can read the review hereOriginally Posted by Islandgirl04
a day is just 9 hour video clip there's nothing more or less
and enjoy calla when you get it!
Kim Bum Soo's "A Day" is a MTV that starred Oppa and Song Hye Gyo. It was filmed in Canada. Oppa looked very handsome in it, he spotted the same hairdo as he did in Autumn. The story is tragic.Originally Posted by Islandgirl04
I think it was released only in selected countries.The version I have comes with a second disc which contains interviews and scenes from the making-of.
In Message, Oppa starred as a shoe salesman who is also a playboy. He took over a friend's pager and started getting messages from a girl played by Choi who mistook him to be the original owner of the pager. Anyway, to cut the long story short, he fell in love! In my opinion, not one of his best movies, but you should watch it if you can. He was dressed in a lot of flowery shirts!
Enjoy Calla, it's got a great OST. And not forgetting a very young looking Oppa. Gorgeous even back then......

The joint film makers of the movie said that they hoped to have SSH and the original cast to film this movie.
The movie is scheduled to be filmed in August next year and screened at end of next year.
No comments were made by SSH and representative.
Poibos bought the copyright of the movie and is the parent company of GM (SSH's management company). With GM's boss Mr Kim being the biggest shareholder of Poibos, external sources believe that there is a high possibility that SSH will cast in the movie.

He told Stephen Henderson, editorial page editor of the Detroit Free Press, that he had tried to mediate a solution to avoid the bill coming to a head.
"That wasn't very successful, so I said, 'This is being put on my agenda,' " Snyder said. "I thought it better to try to get something done one way or another, and get the issue behind us."
He and other supporters now say the legislation is critical to the state's economic success.
"Like it or not, the 49 other states in the union are competing with us for businesses and workers," Snyder wrote on his blog. "And across the nation, 23 states have enacted freedom-to-work laws -- including neighboring Indiana. Though Michigan is the comeback state, we don't exist in a vacuum. Our successes today could turn to failures tomorrow, so we need to maintain our competitive edge."
What's next?
The bills now go to Snyder for his signature, and he has said he will sign them. Democrats have suggested they may challenge the legislation in court because GOP lawmakers skipped the usual committee hearings in passing the bills.
The legislation cannot be overturned by a public referendum because they were in appropriations measures.
