Below is the second of four images, to see the first check out last weeks post...
The Young Man leans out over the cheap plastic fence, it cowers against the brush, the dingy light spills through him as he looks down into the cul-de-sac. From the bridge he might appear as a young king, captured and confined to a tower, his gaze wedding thoughts of his kingdom, the lonely street an untrodden path.
A few gentlemen huddle in the corner of the vestibule, adjacent to the apartment hangar, the Young Man gives them a wild wave and they return the gesture, one amongst them approaches him.
The Gentleman, taller and thinner than the Young man, is about the same age, he leans beside him and joins in gazing onto the cul-de-sac.
"It is dreadful, the way we are gripped." he says, straightening his shoulders and making a peer to either side of them. The wood is black and encroaching, the walk, the entirety of the structure has given ground over the years. The Young Man never raises his eyes, a smile like warm butter spreads across his face, it is short and favors one side.
"I don't mind it so much, I never have whenever. It grips only for attention, when you go around in it, it will inevitably ease up." The two men stand and turn to face the hangar, it is a pointed plastic pavilion of sorts, with rounded columns that in the night blackened, and in the day imitated life. Underneath, red doors line the right side of the hall, the white doors that lined the left were lost in the lighting, no longer dingy but beaming pure and radiant.
It is a hideous structure really, you can see straight through to the ridgeway, a paved street that rounds the corner into a cloak of trees with no end in sight.
"We've no reason to go out anymore, what we'd needed is here now, who can have the trouble?" the Gentleman replies, the two of them walk to where the hangar meets the entranceway, the Gentleman takes a seat on a milk crate with the others, up close they seem evermore an amalgamation, an ageless, thoughtless mass.
The Young Man ponders the wood and the the trouble, the bleak motif of the surrounding landscape, turns over his shoulder to see the bridge, stoned and thrown.
"I suppose, I've always found it a beautiful wood. I really should be going gentleman, have a fine evening." They bid him the same and oddly glare as he goes, one among them silently calls to ask for a word that describes an inability to acknowledge odd glares, but he is in the hangar, outside of the first door on the right.
The Young Man knocks once.
After a moment a man opens the door, as soon as he lays eyes on the Young Man he takes a calculated step backward.
"How are you old friend?" The Young Man says, his voice utter calm, his smile whipping up again, the Old Friend settles and returns a bubbling grin.
"I'd wondered when you'd come back around." he says. Their charmed looks continue in a silence, a gust rattles the wood over top, the bare trees sway, their branches splinter and shiver and shake, the hangar rings and winds at their command, there is the sound of pebbles tumbling down the brush to the cul-de-sac, pooling every hour.
"May I come in?" the Young Man says clutching himself, the wandering in his face finally shows, he keels slightly, looks up smiling again, plainly.
"Of course you may." The Old Friend says.
The Young man closes the door behind him, it is in the corner of the room, one entirely of bare wood with musical instruments tangled along the walls. The Old Friend sits at a slick upright piano beside the bed at the other corner of the room. The Young Man looks about, most curiously at an upright bass, before taking a seat on the bench by the door. He fingers the small acoustic guitar that is leaning on the bench, the strings are loose and clang as he pulls it onto his lap.
The Old Friend slowly opens the rounded cover to the piano, he watches as his face runs warmly into a jagged capacitance, fingers glide quickly across the keys, then a slow bluesy rhythm, chords corralled and stammering in a blind fuss. He looks over at the Young Man, feeling out the instrument, the possibilities in a chorus or verse, two notes, four chords, a rest, then a movement into shapes of silence. The Young Man picks into the tension, his mitts hiccup against the frets, a few strums, and a clumsy carriage gets rolling.
The two of them play into a downtown, a narrow street and the radiant colours, it is early on a weekday and the pumpkin paste bricks of the cathedral seem to be fitted into a sky whose blue has become littered with the white of the clouds. There is no one around, the narrow street is empty yet the Young Man whispers
"So many instruments and nothing to record with."
The Old Friend crosses the street, it begins to snow and he lies along the sidewalk in a patched quilt all alone, he is drowsy and his eyes fall on the carriage, immobile, uncertainly occupied.
"I have a few different things, I keep them out of sight... could be in the closet or under the bed, or behind one of the walls, something might be recording, or maybe not, but I listen back and there's the song."

About Music Week 6: Notes on Bjork's "Debut"
Posted by Ty Jenkins at 9:10 PM
By Ty Jenkins
In the five weeks prior I have written pieces about the following albums: Alt-J's "This is All Yours" (2014), Edith Piaf's "The Best Of..." (30's, 40's, and 50's), Carole King's "Tapestry" (1971), Judy Collins' "Wildflowers" (1967), and Rickie Lee Jones' self titled debut (1979) ".
They've been reviews of sorts with no particular aim, fine to write and read, but not something one would want to do for six weeks straight. Originally the idea was to do just that with Bjork's "Debut" (1993) as the subject. While that album will remain the subject, I've figured to show you something I've been working on outside of here.
This week, and for the rest of the semester, I am going to post excerpts from an ongoing series of which Bjork's "Debut" played a part. The series is a type of experiment that seeks to transpose the reality of a dream one has had while listening to an album, and to do so as faithfully as possible so that it will inevitably sync with the art contained in the album. That's the short of it, and maybe in the future I'll do an article about how the project came to be, some literature that gave me the idea, other albums I've done, etc.
Until then...
Below is the first of four images from a dream that occurred as Bjork's "Debut" played throughout the night, each image will include song titles whose lyrical themes correspond to the those I've found in the image. Some of the thematic commonalities are more apparent as the entire story is revealed, others are readily apparent. I'll post all four parts together iafter the final part is posted, it will be the final week of the semester:
On a very blue and vulgar evening, the shank of it, thin leys of light run through the sky into another, and from a point over yonder to the rear of the grade-top apartments.

("Human Nature", "Big Time Sensuality", "The Anchor Song")
On a very blue and vulgar evening, the shank of it, thin leys of light run through the sky into another, and from a point over yonder to the rear of the grade-top apartments.
There is an old stoned bridge that extends between the ridgeway leading to the small homes and the apartment structure and a path loyal to light and sound.
Beyond the bridge is a short bit of road that runs into a cul-de-sac, a wide sea of grey, glistening concrete quartered by brush of tumbleweed, tiny stones, crisp leaves, and small trees all bent into packed earth.
The cul-de-sac is encircled by a fresh curb, reaching up around it are nearly vertical walls of the tireless brush, at the west the ridge crests, and directly above, the vestibule to the apartments, masked and pouring a shy yellow beam onto the street below.
On the eastern coping of the wall, along the edge of the unforgiving wilderness that traps both the lights and the sound, is a perfect view of the vestibule, and tonight the Young Man, a small shadowed figure moving slowly through the long feverish torch of the entranceway...

The Beret and Tunes of Rickie Lee Jones
Posted by Ty Jenkins at 8:05 PM
The cover art for Rickie Lee Jones eponymous debut is a photograph by South African photographer Norman Seeff. It is modeled after a similar photo of Jones' father; she wears a burgundy beret and holds a cigarette slow burning. The image is thoughtful, and for the right set of eyes, unforgettable. There are many great cover images, with concepts and imprints that are part of the primary work, and while often great artists are privy to this link and many many others, specifically it seems foolish to talk about Rickie Lee Jones, the album and the artist, divorced from this image.
After the release of Rickie Lee Jones in 1979, the beret would become decidedly bohemian-hip, and has remained as much. The symbol's endurance is a testament to the successful collaboration of celebrity, art, and popular culture within the context of this particular project, its evolution (as one should expect) sees it moving within different spheres of creativity, making a reexamination of the work associated with its origin all the more interesting.
The musical stylings that Jones implores throughout her debut are largely foreign to the millenial pallet, the debuts presence on Rolling Stone's "40 Albums that Baby Boomers Loved that Millenials Don't Know" at least begins a conversation about her placement of jukebox-blues motifs, sidles between the rock n' roll of the time and some twisted visions of country, and negotiations with the forms of jazz standards. This is most certainly not the idea that the beret conjures up in the present, at least as I've seen it, it has become particularly static as of late. Jones' placements though have a quality of perpetual freshness, tracks such as "Chuck E.'s In Love", "Coolsville", and "Weasel and the White Boys Cool" refuse to be pinned down by any of the popular, contemporary ideas of song, and in live performance, often meld into story.
This is where the current idea of the beret regains a slice of credibility, as a universal symbol of 'other' or 'creativity' as a tangible whole. Jones' ability as a storyteller brings her tunes into timeless prospect with strong narratives that strike at musical choices that might immediately turn listeners off. "The Last Chance Texaco" for example is a vivid parable about a woman's need for a man, and in her voice you hear just how dire that need can become. The images are hard and dark, the lights from the fueling station spill into the car at the start of the tale, and again before the ending as the character is checking out the dying vehicle. Like many of Jones' stories, this one has no discernible conclusion, largely Jones allows them to serve broader points and leaves much for the listener to derive from smaller details. "Easy Money" might be an even better example of that style, with the repetition of the song title as a treatise in and of itself, placed at points within a tale that is both fluent and fractured. Jones use of the beret is a bit looser then, not universal at all, not tangible but nevertheless challenging and attractive.
On Rickie Lee Jones, Jones' relationship with the hat (as one might also expect) counters what it has come to represent. Her cooperation with the ideas the hat roused even in the day (Apparently she recounted people not recognizing her if she didn't wear it) sound stark to the co-opting that has occurred since. The eccentric artistry of the above tracks are laced with vulnerable ballads ("Company", "After Hours [Twelve Bars Past Midnight]", "Saturday Afternoons in 1963"), and middle of the road rock tracks for the time ("Young Blood", "Night Train"), none of which diminish or hang up the work at all. As it were, Jones' doesn't wear the hat to symbolize where creativity lives, she uses it as a boone to those who might not believe in it, it gets them in the door, and from there she takes them around.

Judy Collins' "Wildflowers"
Posted by Ty Jenkins at 9:00 PM
By Ty Jenkins
Thus far we have looked at Edith Piaf's The Best Of… and Carole King's Tapestry in the two weeks prior, parsing the records for something that might both appeal to and inspire the current twenty-something. This week we jump backwards a few years from King's 1971 triumph and less parse so much as appreciate Wildflowers, the 1967 statement by bohemian folk-princess Judy Collins. "Statement" is an apt description of Wildflowers, and much of Collin's work, consisting of mostly covers that at any one moment can transport you from your world to hers. In each iteration it is a world made of fields, hills, rivers, streams, the embodiment and poetry of wildflowers out beyond a township. "Statement" goes a ways in describing how that ability allowed, and continues to allow (Collin's appeared in the first season of HBO's hit series "Girls" performing in a club) Collin's to permeate America's collective memory despite such a small part of her catalog being of any interest whatever.
In a few listens to Wildflowers it doesn't seem any use to mine the work for instruction, as a tool for teaching. Instead it exudes an understanding that Collin's gravity is expressed through different pallets of sound, spread across her entire body of work, that transpose her gift of rendering often overwhelming emotional landscapes in a few brief strokes without devoting herself to classic originality. That is where I'd like to focus, on Judy Collins as an auteur impartial to her own voice, specifically on Wildflowers.
The ideas of a "cover" is futile in Collin's work, for example, she handles a Cohen ("Sisters of Mercy", "Priests", "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye") with the same care as a Mitchell ("Michael from Mountains", "Both Sides, Now") but would never give them identical treatment. You can hear her voice beaming, gliding over a low Cohen mumble in "Sisters of Mercy", even the adjusted height of the arrangement cannot bury his voice. As for Mitchell's "Michael from Mountains", try as she might, Collin's cannot budge the writer's grip on the tune, to interesting effect. Along with the five Mitchell and Cohen cuts, Collins takes on a Jacques Brel recording ("La Chanson Des Vieux Amants or, The Song of Old Lovers"), and a composition by 14th century Italian composer Francesco Landini ("A Ballata of Francesco Landini" (ca. 1335 - 1397) Lasso! di Donna").
The melding of Collins' negotiations with the material of others and her first originals ("Since You Asked", "Sky Fell", and "Albatross") makes Wildflowers a special group of songs. By 1967 Collins had been acclaimed as an interpretive singer of both traditional and contemporary folk, but her seamless transition into songwriting is unlikely if not downright serendipitous. Each of the three originals contain the hanging gypsy strings that composer Joshua Rifkin drapes around the album, "Since You Asked" and "Sky Fell" could be the two best cuts on the album, the former defined by its smooth, pendulum movements, the latter, descending chords in the chorus. Albatross is somewhere in between and provides a nice segue into the last Cohen "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye".
As her biggest commercial success, Wildflowers is a rare collection that can also be called the panoptic view of both sides of Judy Collins; the creator and the devoted scholar, the writer and the listener, the artist and the performer. There have been many cover artists and an explosion of sample-heavy genres since Collins released Wildflowers in 1967, but very few if any cease doubt about the appropriation of other's material in the way that it does. Her devotion and vulnerability in the aura of music she truly loves is what allows her to occupy that realm alongside those she admires, whether it's Cohen or Ladini, Mitchell or Dylan, and when she sings her own songs, oh, that's beauty.

Pangea Sports Episode 3
Posted by Creative Thinking at 11:18 AM
By: Calvin Paul
Whats up everybody! If you missed episode 3 of Pangea Sports, here is the place to get your sports update. In this episode, as we stepped into the Bear Cave, we were able to catch up with NYIT's women's volleyball coach, Gail Wasmus and discuss the current status of the team. The show also touched upon the teams performance, as well as the possible changes the team might see in the next season.
This week in the Liam Vs Jp match, the two show host went head to head in a rhythmic gymnastics challenge. J.P started of the match of with a performance intertwined with his native, hispanic culture. Following J.P's performance, we saw Liam break it down to Nicki Minaj's new hit, anaconda. in his performance. The challenge was quite the performance, however, we need a winner, and we'll be able to determine that with your vote. Check out the matchup on Globesville.com and then tweet your vote to @Globesville via twitter.
In Sport News, Liam and co host, John-Paul Veliz talked about the slight brawl that went on during a soccer match between Serbia vs. Albania for a qualifiers. The brawl reportedly began after a drone flew over the field hovering the Albanian flag. A player from Serbia managed to get a hold of the drone and took the flag off, he was immediately approached by the Albanian team- then the fist were thrown.
Pangea sports also reported on the Dallas Cowboy's Joseph Randle. Randle was arrested for shoplifting in Dallas department store. He was accused of stealing $123 worth of cologne and underwear. When a security guard and police officer approached him, Randle said, "alright, y'all got me," in a nonchalant manner.
Last but not least, the sports news segment discussed a physical altercation that happened between rugby players, Ben Flowers and Lance Hohaia. During the rugby match, Flowers and Hohaia were extremely physical with each other which became a litter personal to Flowers. Hohaia and Flowers tussled around for a while, but after one to many, Flowers tackled down Hohaia and gave him two blows to the face. After the match Flowers commented, "I sorry for what happened last night, There is no defense for my actions...." Hohaia said he "holds no grudge" against Flowers, "These kind of things happen in the heat of the moment."
For unusual sports, this weeks focus was on Quiddich. Quiddich is a game that originated in the Harry Potter series. The sports is played with 7 players on each team, and the objective is to throw balls into the opposing teams goals and get the most points or to catch the golden fly which is an automatic win. Fans of the Movie series were so infatuated with the idea of the sport, that it is now a recognized collegiate level sport. You can see visualization of the sport on the Globesville.com.
Makes sure to catch episode 4 thursday evening, October 23 on Globesville.com. Follow @Globesville on twitter for all the updates on Globesville.

Turm2 was designed by a team office Graz and integrated with respect to the surrounding natural landscape.
For more info see also www. Turm2. at
Turm2 offers a look at the opposite door, just a few hundred meters away from Kornocklift, a total of 14 lifts. In addition to this lift is the Alpine Park Apartment complex, which houses the reception for the guests of Turm2. For the winter sports equipment there's a separate room in the house, including a ski boot dryer.
What the experts say about skiing on the Turracherhöhe? The famous ski journalist Bert Romani (ANWB and editor Ski Magazine) wrote a review of the area.
The Turracherhöhe, a pearl of Austria
Mountains, lakes and lots of sunshine - that's what you can expect as a guest on the plateau. Hospitality and family vacations are the theme in this area. And as the international border runs through the magnificently situated Turrachersee, the area is part of Styria and Carinthia. The very snow-sure ski area between the Schoberriegel to 2208 meters and 2334 meters altitude on the Rinsennock is very family friendly and especially popular with beginners and advanced, appreciate the flat slopes. Enjoy special popularity located on the east side simple blue and red runs.
Sometimes it comes as a ski journalist in a ski resort and is immediately surprised. The area seems much larger than the slope map suggests. And what radiates this region but for a rest from! Certainly in comparison to neighboring Bad Kleinkirchheim on the Carinthian side. The Turracherhöhe reminds me of the extensive national parks in Canada. Plenty of room, plenty of woods and especially very quiet. From the highest point my assumption is confirmed: Building nowhere, no blight on the horizon from pylons, but pure nature as far as the eye can see. This is a still A balanced territory in which you have cleverly created just enough lifts to enjoy the mountains optimally.
We start from the panoramic lift, a modern combined lift-chairs with 6 and 8 cabins. Why comfortably? It simply has the choice. In good weather you can sit comfortably in the sun, and when it blows or it snows, one can choose the closed gondola. The other lifts are modern and above all efficient. The lifts open up a variety of possible routes, and what is immediately apparent is the variety. The view of the lake is beautiful, the trees are tall and strong, and the slopes meander always surprising downward. The ski area is spread over two mountains that are simply connected. The descent on the side Steiermarker is recognized by the FIS, and it shows. A magnificent slope, in which good comes to sporty driving, and can leave. A perfect training for masters track. A true black run is missing, but who cares das. Today is a beautiful piece of off-piste much more exciting, and such can be found right next to the slopes.
All 14 chalets offer everything you need for a day of skiing. Unique to the Turracherhöhe that most of these mountain restaurants are also within easy reach by foot or cross country skiing. I know of only a few resorts where the various snow sports are coordinated infrastructure so well together. With the Turrachbahn we go back to the top. Then just over a connection to the ski downhill Schwarzsee. The tractor Weitentallift up to abzufahren in a swing to the lake. The slopes are well positioned, well maintained, and getting lost is impossible. Everything is right. Everything is well thought out - that is pleasant for the guests and therefore also for me.
Bert Romani for more than 20 years and writes about skiing. There is no country whose mountains have not conquered his skis. Only the Dutch automobile club ANWB and later as editor of Ski Magazine. Currently, he has his own knowledge center for winter sports and tourism, and it is involved in most winter sports magazines in the Netherlands.

In summer, the Turracherhöhe, located in the Nock Mountains National Park, an ideal place for hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers of all ages. Also thanks to the many hours of sunshine and the pollen-free amount is the TOWER 2 Villa a perfect and healthy starting point for various sports activities. The signposted trails lead to lakes and mountain huts along and. Through forests and lush mountain peaks
Just south of Turrach begins Nockalmstraße, a magnificent route through the Nock Mountains National Park. Who loves the pace, uses the Point-Tickets, a 1600-meter-long toboggan run. With the panoramic lift from the mountain village from the starting point is easy to reach. An 18-hole golf course is located 16 km from Bad Kleinkirchheim. In this village there are also two spas. In addition to all sporting activities a day of relaxation becomes the Villa, which is furnished with all the comforts, incidentally also no penalty. You can relax in the sauna and hot tub and read a book by the fireplace.
The (smaller) shops and several restaurants are all within walking distance of the villa in the mountain village. The crystal clear Turrachersee is set this cozy village. Some lower by villages and lakes, including the Milstattersee, offer summer fun in an optimal format. Larger towns such as Murau, Villach, Klagenfurt and seabed are within an hour by car.

World Osteoporosis Day 2014
"Real Men Build Their Strength from Within" is this year's campaign by the International Osteoporosis Foundation. Today is World Osteoporosis Day for 2014, and the beginnning of the international campaign.
Men have Osteoporosis too, although they are only half as likely as women to be treated, even after a fracture.
One third of all hip fractures are in men. And a man is twice as likely as a woman to die of complications of his hip fracture.

Travel Is Great – Jet-Lag Is The Pits
We have just returned from nearly 2 weeks in Portugal and northwest Spain. We had never been to either location. As always, visiting new places and experiencing different cultures is enlightening. We were thrilled.
Portugal is attempting to preserve the best aspects of its past, while moving to integrate into the EU. Family and Community are strong bonds for many. Blue Zones abound.
Porto and the Douro River are all about the ancient vineyards and steeply terraced hillsides. Port wine is giving way to a renaissance of dry reds and whites. We visited a small villiage which produces wines and bakes thousands of loaves of bread daily the old-fashioned way, in wood fired ovens.
Castello Rodrigo is a small hilltop fortified village occupied in turn by Celts, Romans, Moors and Christians over millenia. The streets are steep, narrow, and primarily pedestrian only. The buildings are mostly from the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
We visited the 4th and 5th oldest Universities in Europe. We explored Salamanca and Santiago de Compostella. Not all of history is pretty, but it is enlightening. How can you understand where you are, or have any idea where you are going, if you do not know where you have been?
River Cruises make travel easy. This was our second trip with Viking.
European diets are different. More about that later. First I need to recover from west-bound jet-lag.

Forteo is a Daily Shot, Like Insulin, But For Only 2 Years
Forteo is a daily shot. That is a nuicence, but a small price to pay for the only Anabolic, the only osteoporosis medication which will increase bone mass in spongy (cancellous) bone. Diabetics give themselves a daily shot for the rest of their lives. Forteo is for only 2 years and uses a tiny insulin needle.
People worry about the warning that lab rats got Osteosarcoma after being given very high doses of Teriparatide for the equivalent of 70 human years. We have not seen this in humans, or chimps, or monkeys, or dogs. Rats have bones that grow all their lives. We do not give Forteo to growing humans, pregnant women, nursing women, persons with Paget's Disease or unexplained elevated Alkaline Phosphatase, or persons who have had radiation to their bones.
Remember that you must take adequate Calcium, with food, spread out over 3 meals. You must take enough Vitamin D3 to be able to absorb Calcium. You must eat enough Protein for your OsteoBlasts to make new bone matrix.
Forteo Increases Bone Thickness on the Inside
Forteo (Teriparatide) increases the thickness of the struts making up spongy (cancellous) bone. Forteo is the only osteoporosis medication to do that. It also makes the hard outer shell (cortical bone) thicker. How? Forteo stimulates OsteoBlasts. They make bone matrix, the collagen protein that is more than 80% of bone.
Forteo also stimulates bone turnover. Healthy bone is constantly being resorbed and replaced. This allows bone to eliminate the micro-cracks that gradually accumulate with activity. Bone is strongest when it is a mixture of older more calcified (stiffer) material mixed thoroughly with younger less calcified (somewhat bendable) material. Cracks cannot enlarge. Strength is better. More force is required to fracture the bone.

*STAR* Oppenheim, Joanne. Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration during World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference. Feb. 2006. 288p. illus. index. Scholastic Nonfiction, $22.99 (0-439-56992-3). 940.53.
Gr. 710. Like Michael O. Tunnell's The Children of Topaz (1996), this passionately written history bears witness to the World War II injustices endured by Japanese Americans, from a vantage point of particular relevance to young people. In a poignant introduction, seasoned children's writer Oppenheim explains how her hunt for a former classmate, a Japanese American, serendipitously led her to an Internet profile of San Diego children's librarian Clara Breed, and to a collection of letters written to Breed by her incarcerated Japanese patronsgrateful, illuminating responses to Breed's faithful missives and care packages containing books and other gifts. Although the letters (and interviews with their grown-up authors) form the narrative's bedrock, Oppenheim weaves them into a broader account amplified by photos, archival materials (including a startlingly racist cartoon by Dr. Seuss), and moving quotations from the later reparation hearings: "I was just 10 years old when I became a 'squint-eyed yellow-bellied Jap.'" Along with the basic facts, Oppenheim urges readers to critically interpret primary sources and identify "governmental doublespeak"; the words "incarceration" or "concentration" are consciously employed here as correctives for softpedaling terminology like "internment" and "relocation." Unclear references in the children's letters are not always annotated, and the recurring discussion of professional concerns facing Breed (whose own letters to the camps have been lost) often seems to cater too obviously to Oppenheim's adult readers. But the aggregate deserves commendation for its sheer quantity of accessible, exhaustively researched information about a troubling period, more resonant now than ever, when American ideals were compromised by fear and unfortunate racial assumptions. Eight pages of unusually readable, wide-ranging endnotes and an exhaustive bibliography conclude, evidence of Oppenheim's all-consuming research process. Jennifer Mattson
Kirkus 12/15/05 Looking back to a shameful but characteristic chapter in this country's history, Oppenheim wraps an angry account of the U.S. West Coast Japanese-American population's forced removal in the panic following Pearl Harbor around a heartfelt tribute to Clara Breed, a San Diego children's librarian who kept in touch with several of her evacuated young "regulars" and became an advocate for their release. The text is sometimes repetitive or overstuffed with minor details, but—supported by frequent excerpts from letters, passages (pointedly labeled "Testimony") from the 1981 reparation hearings and lines from the author's own interviews with survivors—it not only creates a scathing picture of the living conditions those children and their families were forced to endure, but also bears eloquent witness to their deeply rooted patriotism and unshakable determination to make the best of things, come what may. Supplemented by a range of period commentary and illustrated with rare snapshots, this is rich in primary material and also bears unmistakable relevance in this post-9/11 atmosphere. (bibliography, notes) (Nonfiction. 11+)
Oppenheim, Joanne. Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference, Scholastic.2006.288p. $22.99. 0-439-56992-3.. Index. Illus. Photos. Maps. Biblio. Notes. Appendix.

THREE artistic pupils from the Vale have been rewarded for their green thinking.
Schoolchildren from across Wychavon were challenged to come up with a poster to show how they would encourage people to be kinder to the environment.
The three first prize winners were Lauren Annis of Holy Redeemer Catholic Primary School in Pershore in the four to eight-year-old age category, Natalie Petrie-Hay of St Nicholas Middle School in Pinvin in the nine to 11 category and Lucy Dyer of Bowbrook House School in the 12 to 16 age group.
Another six pupils were runners up and highly commended and everyone received a framed copy of their winning poster, vouchers and a goody bag.
The schools of the three first prize winners were also given a cheque for £100 and all schools taking part in the competition received a voucher for £55 to use at Worcestershire Resource Exchange - a community project centre for reusing art materials that will help pupils create inspiring art in the future.
Denise Ditchburn, promotions and monitoring assistant at Wychavon District Council, said: "There was an amazing selection of posters.
"The children truly love their environment and want to encourage us to reduce the waste we send to landfill, as well as reduce energy and water waste.
"The competition is a great way to get young people thinking about important issues that affect the environment and stimulate debate."
The posters will be displayed in the Community Contact Centres in Evesham, Pershore and Droitwich and there will also be a display in Droitwich Library.

One diplomat's darkly humorous and ultimately scathing assault on just about everything the military and the State Department have done — or tried to do — since the invasion of Iraq. The title says it all." --Steven Myers, New York Times
"In this shocking and darkly hilarious exposé of the reconstruction of post-Saddam Iraq, former State Department team leader Van Buren describes the tragicomedy that has been American efforts at nation building, marked by bizarre decisions and wrongheaded priorities… "We made things in Iraq look the way we wanted them to look," Van Buren writes. With lyrical prose and biting wit, this book reveals the devastating arrogance of imperial ambition and folly."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"One of the rare, completely satisfying results of the expensive debacle in Iraq."—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
I've read just about every memoir out of Iraq and Afghanistan in the last decade, military or otherwise, and this stands as one of the best -- certainly one of the most self-aware and best written. --Washingtonian
"Long after the self-serving memoirs of people named Bush, Rice, and Rumsfeld are consigned to some landfill, this unsparing and very funny chronicle will remain on the short list of books essential to understanding America's Iraq War. Here is nation-building as it looks from the inside—waste, folly, and sheer silliness included."—Andrew J. Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War
"The road to Hell is paved with taxpayer dollars in Peter Van Buren's account of a misspent year rebuilding Iraq. Abrasive, honest and funny, We Meant Well is an insider's account of life behind blast walls at the height of the surge."—Nathan Hodge, author of Armed Humanitarians: The Rise of the Nation Builders
"If Joseph Heller's war began in 2004 instead of 1944, this would be the book entitled Catch-22. Once I picked up We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People (available September 27), I could not put the book down. I could not believe so much that appears to be fictional satire could instead relate actual events...Very highly recommended."—Seattle-Post Intelligencer
"We Meant Well is a must-read, first-hand account of our disastrous occupation of Iraq. Its lively writing style will appeal to a wide audience."—Ron Paul, M.D., Member of Congress

Forest Journal: Aviary reminders of summer's swiftness
The vivid spring colors of male songbirds, including this Baltimore oriole, will soon fade as mating season ends and the aviary world gets ready for autumn. (Lauren Kras photo)
Bereft of song; obsolete and forlorn.
- - - - - - -
BUZZKILL alert: Early-morning news from the forest reveals the earliest autumn preparations are now underway in avian fashion and music. Spring celebrities including electric orange orioles, stunning scarlet tanagers and neon-blue buntings all soon will fly low under the radar as breeding season ends.
Male birds' conspicuous plumage is designed to attract potential mates, warn-off rivals and divert attention of nest predators from furtive females wearing neutral hues - gray, white, yellow and olive green. Concealment plumage works better for females brooding vulnerable chicks in hidden nests. The bright colors are passé, an avian fashion faux pas.
Summer fare features abundant insect proteins and a surge of sugary plant-carbohydrates derived from fruits and seeds. Summer fruits provide high sugar-content carbohydrates - quick-energy calories. Late summer fruits provide slower-burning lipids -fats that fuel long-distance migration. Adults and fledglings alike reap quick bursts of energy from the progression of sun-ripened berries: strawberries, raspberries, red and black elderberries, blueberries.

You're both on wrong side of this love equation
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My girlfriend and I broke up a year and four months ago. We had lived together and were deeply in love. Unfortunately, she and I also got into steaming fights, really about nothing -- tempers flared, and at some point, she could no longer continue, despite our love. It was a horrible time for me, and I found myself texting her and emailing her just to feel normal. After a year of on-and-off electronic communications, I decided to stop. I didn't want to bother her with my pleas, and thought I would regret forever being a burden to her. By the middle of January this year, I met a girl who I started to hang out with. We got along and had some good laughs, but deep inside I knew I still wanted my ex. On Valentine's Day, my ex texted me a question: "Are you dating someone?" As I had been out with this new girl only four times, I felt, and honestly, that we were not dating. My ex told me she had feelings for me still, and had hoped that things could be the same as before. I immediately told the new girl that I couldn't do it, that my heart was with someone else. My ex is so confused with what's happening, she now believes we can't make it work. The new girl kissed me and the ex knows it. I made a YouTube playlist for the new girl to check out, and the ex knows it, and believes it was a love playlist. I love my former girlfriend, and just don't understand why we can't (her words) work things out. -- Missing My Sweetheart, Winnipeg
Dear Missing: Either your ex is overly jealous, or you tell her so much detail that it becomes painful for her to be around you -- even after dating some other girl for only four dates. Why did she have to know about the song playlist or even know about the kiss? What you should have said to your ex was, "If you are asking me if I would like to forsake all others and begin again with you, the answer is yes." A kiss with someone else, after your ex left you begging, is nothing. She sounds like a very jealous woman. Are you sure you want to now go hat in hand again, begging for another chance? Look at the power dynamic here. She came after you, but quickly turned the tables. When she asked if you were dating, your answer should have been "Nobody serious." Period. Why did you fight so much before? It sounds like both of you are so insecure you need to do some work on yourselves with professional help, so you can change the losing equation which is still Insecure Woman + Insecure man Extreme Jealousy.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am in love with a fat woman. She is so fat she is going to die young. I try to tell her that but she won't listen. She says this is "hassling" is about the shape of her body. It is not! It's about the condition of her heart and other organs. I'm afraid I will lose her to Death. I have become the cook and only make her healthy meals, but she stashes doughnuts and cookies and candies and just get fatter and fatter. Please help. -- Watching Her Die, Winnipeg
Dear Watching: You might get further with her if you asked her to talk to you about the reason she needs all this junk food. What emptiness is she trying to fill? Obviously YOU love her unconditionally, but that might not make up for the people in her family or past who didn't. Maybe she is still suffering from bullying and name-calling at school. Maybe she feels she doesn't have work that is fulfilling. Get at these issues with her and try and get her to go for help. Offer to go with her. Don't ignore the problem but take a new approach with a gentle voice -- lots of conversations that look at the hurts and fears and memories that make her want to comfort herself with treats.

Bryan Cranston discusses the excitement of starting a new year of 'Breaking Bad'
Bryan Cranston may have been sporting a full head of hair on the set of the new film "Get A Job" this week, but that won't last long. The actor is on a plane today to return to the Albuquerque location of his critically-acclaimed hit show, "Breaking Bad," and sounds thrilled to be getting back to work as Walter White.
During a conversation with a group of reporters visiting the set of the comedy, Cranston was asked about the difference between building a character like White over several years of a television show and on a film where he has significantly less running time to make an impression. "I'm so excited. I finish this Thursday night, my last day, and then I'm on a plane Friday morning. I buzz my head over the weekend. And then we're in front of the cameras on 'Breaking Bad' on Monday."

Unit 2004 has a spacious oversized balcony that provides for great entertainment and enjoyment as you thrill over the view from the 20th floor. It is 1388 sq ft, very large compared to most 2 bedroom units in the Panama City Beach area.

So there is also a new TV stand in the living room and a new dresser in the master bedroom. (see the cell phone pics in the photo section). We also took inventory of everything in our kitchen and restocked items that were in bad shape or had gone missing.
Assigned parking space in the covered parking deck. Gulf Crest has two swimming pools, hot tub and children's pool. Wireless internet access around the pools and in our unit.
King size bed in the master bedroom, queen size bed in the second bedroom, bunk area provides sleeping space for two, and the sofa pulls out into a queen size bed.
