RemObjects SDK and Data Abstract for JavaScript
October 7, 2011 in .NET, Data Abstract, Delphi, JavaScript, Oxygene, Visual Studio, Xcode
Today we are shipping the first beta builds of RemObjects SDK and Data Abstract with our new JavaScript client support. This beta is available at beta.remobjects.com for all users with an active subscription, and we are planning to ship this feature officially in the upcoming Winter release next month.
This blog post aims at giving you a quick overview into what's there and how to use it.
RODA/JS is not a separate product; rather, it ships in the box with all three of our existing server platforms: RODA/.NET, RODA/Delphi and Relativity Server.
In most cases, you will want to add the ability to expose a scripting client right from inside the regular RO/DA server you are building, and we have created components that make this really easy: Both RODA/.NET and RODA/Delphi have gained (TRO)JavaScriptHttpDispatcher and (TDA)JavaScriptHttpDispatcher components that you can simply drop into your project and hook up to your server channels. These components embed and automatically serve the core RODA/JS script files, and can also serve any custom files (scripts and HTML/CSS/Images) that you created to implement your JavaScript client (from a folder or from resources embedded in your server app).
With that done, you can simply point your browser to a subpath of your server's URL, such as http://localhost:8099/js to access your web app.
The screenshot above shows the RO/Delphi MegaDemo, but a similar component is available for DA and on .NET, and all MegaDemos and DA Sample Servers have been extended to already expose sample JavaScript clients.
If you run the server and point your browser to it, it will look something like this (not about to win any design awards, but it works ;) ).
What does the source look like? Aside from the HTML that defines what we see, there are three script files included:
<script type="text/javascript" src="RemObjectsSDK.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="MegaDemoLibrary_intf.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
The first is the core RO/JS library – automatically served by the JavaScriptHttpDispatcher component. The second is the Interface file for our server's RODL – more on that below. Lastly, scripts.js contains the code we custom-wrote to implement our client. Let's look at that in more detail:
First, we create our service and related components (I'm shortening the code a bit for the purpose of this post, if you look at the real sample, you'll see it will optionally choose between JSON and BinMessage, etc):
var Service;
function createService()
var svcUrl = "http://" + document.location.host + "/bin";
Service = new MegaDemoService(new RemObjects.SDK.HTTPClientChannel(svcUrl),
new RemObjects.SDK.BinMessage());
Next, let's look at how we call Sum():
function BeginSumMethod()
var A = document.getElementById("editA").value;
var B = document.getElementById("editB").value;
Service.Sum(A, B,
function SuccessSumMethod(result)
AddLineToLog('Result is ' + result);
function ErrorSumMethod(msg, ex)
if (ex) {
AddLineToLog(" Error: " + ex);
} else {
As you see, JavaScript is big on asynchronicity. Instead of calling Sum() and getting back a value, Sum runs asynchronously, and we provide a callback that gets executed when the result was received (and a second callback that gets called for any errors or exceptions).
To generate Interface files for your custom RODLs (such as MegaDemoLibrary_intf.js in the sample above), both Service Builder (Windows) and rodl2objc (Mac) have been expanded with an extra option to generate .js files. Simply open your RODL and save the Intf.js, as you already know how to do for all the other languages we support:
(As you can see, rodl2objc has also received a bit of an interface facelift ;) )
That's RemObjects SDK for JavaScript, for talking to custom Web Services. Next, let's look at Data Abstract.
Like with RO, making a DA server accessible from JavaScript is as easy as adding the dispatcher and (optionally) some custom script or HTML files. Here's what the JavaScript sample for our PCTrade Sample Servers looks like (both for .NET and Delphi):
On the left, there's list of all the tables, dynamically created by looking at the schema; once a table is selected, it shows a grid on the right. For this sample, we're using a jQuery grid, but there's nothing that inherently ties Data Abstract to jQuery or any other JavaScript framework – you get access to the raw data via a table object and can work with it any way you please. Of course, we cannot only show data, but also maintain updates and apply them back to the server.
Let's look at the code again:
<script src="RemObjectsSDK.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="DataAbstract.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="DataAbstract4_Intf.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery/jquery-1.4.4.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery/js/grid.locale-en.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery/js/jquery.jqGrid.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="DataAbstractjQGrid.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
In addition to the core three RO/DA files (all of which are served by default by Data Abstract's version of the JavaScriptHttpDispatcher), we include a few jQuery files, as well as a DA-specific helper file for jQGrid that we provide for your convenience. Once again, using jQGrid is just an implementation choice for this sample (much like using QuantumGrid would be for a Delphi app).
Other than that, all the application-specific script in this sample is in the main HTML file.
For example, here is how we set up the RemoteDataAdapter:
var Channel = new RemObjects.SDK.HTTPClientChannel("http://" + window.location.host + "/JSON");
var Message = new RemObjects.SDK.JSONMessage();
var Service = new RemObjects.SDK.RemoteService(Channel, Message, "DASampleService");
var daService = new DataAbstractService(Service);
var loginService = new RemObjects.SDK.RemoteService(Channel, Message, "LoginService");
var rda = new RemObjects.DataAbstract.RemoteDataAdapter(Service, loginService, RemObjects.DataAbstract.Bin2DataStreamer);
And here is how we fetch data for a table (and show it using the jQGrid helper):
rda.getData(Tables[CurrentTable], function() {
GridView = new RemObjects.DataAbstract
.Views.JQGridView(Tables[CurrentTable], "#list", "#pager");
function(msg, e) {
if (e) {alert(e)}
else alert(msg.getErrorMessage());
If you're familiar with RO and DA, you will already see that the classes are very similar to what you know. We have client channels, messages, remote services and a remote data adapter.
If the option is grayed out, your Relativity Server does not support JavaScript yet; if the option is not available, you need a newer version of Server Explorer for Mac.
A Word about Cross-Domain Data Access
We have a good six weeks of beta cycle left before this feature ships, and we hope you'll give the beta builds a try and let us know any feedback you have. Head over to beta.remobjects.com now to get started.

All Items : Religious Items : Pre 1950 item #833959 (stock #100)
Vintage metal religious icon. This old and worn crucifix is 10.25 x 6 inches. There is a small hole at the top and bottom of cross where it was probably hung from. Detailed sculpture of Christ is lovely, patina is discoloured and worn over all, but I feel it adds to the beauty. #375 SARGENT is embossed on the back,INRA embossed on front. It definitely shows it's age,but is a treasure to behold. It is very heavy and weighs approximately 1.5 pounds or 750 gr.

Surely this is too wild-ass bonkers to be true: Johnny Depp buying the Croc?
Either someone over at Culture Mob is playing an insane blogger joke, or there's a serious rumor flying that Johnny Depp is going to buy the Crocodile Cafe (RIP).
Can there be any truth to this? Or is today some National Spread-A-Celebrity-Rumor holiday of which I am unawares?
From Culture Mob:
How about a fun, completely unsubstantiated rumor for Thursday to keep you going until the weekend?
It's going around the streets of Seattle like wildfire that Johnny Depp is going to buy the old Crocodile Cafe and make it much, much cooler (and hotter) than it ever was before. This is from several unreliable sources, some of whom were at least partially inebriated at the time of bean-spillage. It's a juicy one though, and Seattle would LOVE it to be true, am I right? Enjoy.
{Hat tip to SOTS for sharing the rumor first.}
1 imaginary liz said on May 8, 2008
Such an occurence would be such a weird melding of all our favorites. What do you think Johnny Depps first Croc show line-up would be?
2 Levi said on May 8, 2008
Well, I guess this would be all right. River Phoenix can't die again, right?
3 Porkchop Sandwiches! said on May 8, 2008
Levi wins
4 Tim Hanken said on May 8, 2008
Speedballs for everyone!!
Seriously though, it would be great if someone with deep pockets bought the Croc, rehired the old staff, fixed the place up a bit and brought it back to it's previous glory.
5 joey said on May 8, 2008
Whoa...that would be great! I won't get my hopes up just yet though.
6 Mike Mess said on May 8, 2008
I used to go to the Viper Room occasionally for secret shows, etc while I was living in LA. I can tell you one thing Depp owning the Croc will bring: $9 & $10 well drinks at the bar and $8 beers while enduring craptastic bands!
7 Kirk said on May 8, 2008
Pretty sure Johnny Depp lives in France. And has a very successful movie career and lovely family occupying his time. The chance of this rumor being true seems beyond remote.
8 arrrgh said on May 8, 2008
Pirate theme night would be off the hook!
9 Jon Harthun said on May 8, 2008
Fear and Loathing night would be off the chain!
10 Matty Worth said on May 8, 2008
Dead Man night would be talked about by everybody but not actually attended by anyone!
11 Bella said on May 8, 2008
Nothing would get me back into the Croc more quickly or often than new owner Johnny Depp hanging out.
12 Imaginary Kiku said on May 8, 2008
Craziest (maybe) news all day! Oh Johnny, I bet he has great taste in music c:
13 imaginary dana said on May 8, 2008
@Bella--once upon a time, years back, I owed the domain allmylittlewordscom. How crazy is that? I'm glad its founds its way into such good hands.

United States •
The remains of U.S. Army Air Force 2nd Lt. Valorie L. Pollard and Sgt. Dominick J. Licari (pictured) will be buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery nearly 70 years after they went missing.
The Pentagon's Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office announced Sept. 12 that remains representing U.S. Army Air Force 2nd Lt. Valorie L. Pollard from Monterey, Calif., and Sgt. Dominick J. Licari from Frankfort, NY, would be buried in a single casket with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on Sept. 19.
Pollard and Licari were aboard an A-20G Havoc bomber when the plane crashed into the mountains of what's now Papua New Guinea after attacking enemy targets on the island. The bomber was excavated in 2012 and the two men's remains were recovered and identified in the summer of 2013.
A casket with Dominick Licari's individually identified remains was placed in a hearse by an honor guard after landing in Albany and escorted to Frankfort past cheering crowds by a group of veterans on motorcycles. Licari was buried Aug. 6 in Frankfort as flags in New York flew at half staff in his honor.
Only one word that describes this: unbelievable. He's a man who has been dead longer than most people have been alive, but he's a hero coming home.
The Pentagon said more than 400,000 U.S. service members were killed in WWII--more than 73,000 have never been recovered or identified. In May 2013, a group of four service members killed in Vietnam were buried in a single casket. More than 1,600 Americans remain missing from that conflict.

Travelling can be an activity most people prepare well for. People book tickets, prepare itineraries and go shopping for appropriate clothing. Some study regarding getaway, acquaint his or her self considering the culture or memorise fundamental greetings. Smart tourists even pre-book Adelaide airport parking with their cars. Planning and preparing make sure the visitor a whole and fun adventure.
When you are planning to bring an automobile on the airport and you are unsure how to deal with it while you're away, book a slot for parking. Airports in Adelaide have parking plans to keep the vehicles safe. As airport car parking is normally long-term parking, it could be costly for a few people. Luckily, booking the appropriate way might save some costs.
Before booking your Adelaide airport parking, consider how long you'd be renting the parking slot. Most airports have lots for short-term parking and long-term parking. The short-term parking charge is normally by the hour or day. This makes it costly although conveniently nearer to the airport.
For long-term parking, charge is per day and even weeks. This really is more economical however they are placed in areas further away from the terminal. Should you be looking at merely a fast day or overnight trip, and even planning a prolonged travel spanning months, it could be advisable to leave your vehicle at home and prevent the bill of parking at airports in Adelaide altogether.
Take note if the flight features a special promo for parking attached with it. Ask the airport when they offer discounts or have coupons to cut costs. If you're a frequent flier or booked a first-class ticket, one of the privileges could even be free parking. As costly as prolonged parking is, airports frequently have promos to save lots of customers some bucks.
Airports are among the stablest places in a location. Top airport security watch disturbances to help keep travellers as safe as is possible. This implies your parked car will enjoy the advantages of airport security protection. If they can apprehend terrorists from entering the continent, they can surely keep petty criminals from getting within your car.
Handling taxicab in airports could be stressful enough to convince one to bring his or her car within the airport. You will not have to be bothered by long lines, overpriced rates and even picky drivers attempting to hustle you for further money. Adelaide airport parking may be pricey nevertheless, you can engage in staying in the relaxed confines of your family car as soon as you land.
Having a car into the airport works but the question of best places to park it while you're gone could be stressful. Few people has people to take cars home and convey it back again upon return. A simple solution can be parking in airports. Adelaide and other airports help it become easy and even cost-effective to suit your needs. All that you should do is book it.
Summer Goodwin repeatedly utilizes Adelaide airport parking plus parking Adelaide airport.

Family Guy: Whistle While Your Wife Works
The after hours scene at the brewery was pretty good as well. I like striking down Debra Messing and French Stewart, but what really made it was Quagmire's aggravation that nobody remembers Tim Daly or Wings. "It made Tony Shaloub's career!" It is so frustrating when people don't remember those things. Where they started to lose me was when Peter was left alone. The You Me And Dupree and Along Came Polly bits weren't that good. Lois at the office doing Peter's work wasn't a lot better.
Meanwhile, Brian's new girlfriend Jillian (Drew Barrymore) is a moron. There's nothing very original there, and I know I've heard that Hitler joke before, although I can't place it, but it did serve as the basis for some great Stewie and Brian interaction. The story played out like a snowball rolling down a hill and getting bigger and bigger. Goading Brian into the alibi cheer was good. Brian trying to defend the relationship was funny too. He was just so frustrated with just how wrong he was. That scene was capped off nicely with the phone call. "You should be able to see the words Mr. 3000." Does anyone know what Brian's ringtone was? That tune is stuck in my head but I can't remember what it is.
Jillian over for dinner kept it going nicely. I loved Stewie pushing Brian's buttons by quizzing her, and Brian's reaction knowing that he has no ground to stand on. "It's like she's fucking five!" The breakup was another highlight. Not because of the actual breakup, or lack thereof, but because of the aftermath with Stewie. "What's that smell? Smells like sweat and anger and shame." And you have to like Stewie's rendition of "Cars" to close it out.
The cutaway bits this week were pretty hit and miss. The top secret porn bunker and Stewie at the rest home were good, but Boston book report, Buzz Killington, Our American Cousin, and Danny Devito/Rhea Perlman were just meh. I've come to expect a little more from the Family Guy crew in that regard. As a collection, this weeks batch were well below par.
Overall, it wasn't a bad episode, but I don't see it making many top ten episode lists. The Stewie/Brian stuff was enough to save it from being bad, but the lackluster Peter story combined with the weak cutaways really held it back. Oh well, as they say, they can't all be gems.

Music @NYPL presents Enrico Granafei
Program Locations:
Enrico has a long history of musical experience, which encompasses both Classical Music and Jazz. Enrico received a degree in classical guitar from the Conservatory of l'Aquila in Italy in 1976. His artistic career started in Rome where he soon became known in the musical community. In 1978 Enrico moved to Germany where he began to perform and to teach in two different "Musikschulen". In the early 80's, after returning to Italy, Enrico started to broaden his horizons by discovering Jazz through the harmonica. Following in the tradition of the legendary Toots Thielemans, he began to explore new possibilities for the harmonica, an instrument too often associated solely with Rock and Blues. Besides playing in the best jazz clubs in Italy during that period, Enrico performed regularly on national television where he was a member of the Pippo Caruso orchestra. His love for Jazz led him to New York City, the world capital of Jazz, where he soon started to perform in local jazz clubs, including The Blue Note, Birdland, Visiones, Angry Squire, and the Bottom Line. During the 20 years that he has resided in the New York area, he has performed extensively on the Chromatic Harmonica in the United States and continued to be a featured musician in major European Festivals, including Pori Jazz Festival (Finland), Euromeet Jazz Festival (Italy), Jazz Festivals throughout Italy and France, and major clubs throughout Europe. In 1992 Enrico graduated with a Masters Degree in Jazz Performance from the Manhattan School of Music where he was the only student of Toots Thielemans. Enrico has been the owner and musical director of the prestigious Trumpets Jazz Club in Montclair, New Jersey (USA), the most important Jazz venue in the state, since 1999. He continues to perform at that venue and at other important jazz venues throughout the United States and Europe, as well as to record as a leader and sideman. He is one of the most respected players of the Chromatic Harmonica in the world today and continues to cultivate an audience for the instrument through his international performances. Enrico's latest accomplishment is his work on Hands-Free-Chromatic Harmonica. The revolutionary instrument invented by Vern Smith allows him to play Chromatic Harmonica and Guitar at the same time, something that nobody has ever done before in Jazz. The use of the DB guitar invented by Nico Di Battista add yet another dimension to Enrico's playing, the instrument is a combination of bass and guitar. Close your eyes and you will hear two or three musicians but in fact it's only one.

A New OpenCalais Release On the Way
In just about one month we're going to open up the next release of OpenCalais for beta testing. While the upgrade should be 100% backwards compatible – it's worth setting aside a little time for testing as well as exploring some new features.
What's Coming?
Under the covers there are a number of improvements to our processing pipeline. As an end user you won't see these – but they set the stage for greater flexibility in the future.
On the user-facing side of the equation you'll see a number of new entities, facts and events related primarily to politics and intra and international conflict. Doesn't look like either of those will be going away soon – so we thought they were worth implementing. You'll see new information in candidates, Party Affiliations, Arms Purchases and a number of others.
In addition to these new items, we've also enhanced our SocialTags feature for greater accuracy – in fact, you'll see a number of accuracy improvements across the board.
Next Steps
So – set aside a little time for a quick test in about a month. If you care about elections and conflict – take a look at the new features. We'll run the beta for approximately a month to gather any issues and will roll out into production following that.

INFOWARS SPECIAL REPORT: Globalists' Extermination List Exposed
Posted By aaron On August 12, 2011 @ 12:40 pm In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Aaron Dykes
August 12, 2011
In a Special Infowars Report, researcher Aaron Dykes exposes the global population database apparatus used by eugenicists to target populations for reduced births, soft kill and extermination. From the IBM-developed Hollerith punchcards used in the 1890 U.S. census, to race-mixing studies for Cold Springs Harbor and concentration camps in Rockefeller-funded Nazi Germany, eugenicists have long tabulated vital statistics in order to attack subtly and with precision.
Now they are targeting our food supplies, water, air and environment in attempt to shut off our future. How will elites utilize the human genome code, blood samples and DNA they've spent decades compiling? Why do foundations of the rich spend so much on the 3rd World population reduction? Aaron Dykes reports on the New World Order's obsession with eugenics and population control.

"Student Profiles by Major" text and photos are by Maggie Jo Pruitt of Harrison, an Agricultural Communication Services student intern during spring semester 2012. She is an Agricultural Education, Communications and Technology major with a concentration in communications and a double minor in Agribusiness and Global Studies.
Boone Hardy of Tumbling Shoals is an Agribusiness major with a concentration in Management and Marketing. Boone transferred to the University of Arkansas from Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City. Boone chose the U of A because of his family history.
"My grandfather, Glenn Hardy, was the Dean of the Bumpers College. My grandparents, parents, siblings and uncle graduated from here." Boone has also kept the family tradition of studying agricultural business. "My dad, brother and uncle have Agribusiness degrees. The program here teaches everything I need to learn about accounting, economics and marketing.
"The choice was obvious." Boone values the open-door policy of the Bumpers College: "You can ask any question to any faculty member and they will help you. That is special for how large the U of A is." Boone plans to be a grain merchandiser at a grain elevator. "Everything I have learned ties in to my career plans."
Boone appreciates what he has learned from Professor Michael Thomsen: "Dr. Thomsen influenced me in marketing. He's incredibly smart and I learned a lot from his marketing course that I would not have otherwise known."
For academic advice, email Boone at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ashley Ritter of Rogers is majoring in Agricultural Education, Communications and Technology, with a concentration in Agricultural Education. Ashley is also acquiring a minor in Agricultural Systems and Technology. Ashley chose the University of Arkansas because it is a Land Grant Institution "with a great Agricultural Education program."
Ashley always knew she wanted to be a teacher, and during her senior year she took an agriculture course and knew that was the subject she wanted to teach. Ashley has high regard for the Bumpers College faculty, especially for Instructor Casandra Cox and Professor Don Edgar. "Mrs. Cox recommended that I become a department representative. This program has had a great influence on my leadership skills. Professor Edgar is my adviser and has helped me plan my entire college career."
Ashley recommends joining student organizations "not just because they look good on your resume, but because they give you a group of people who are going through the same things as you to relate to throughout college." Ashley is involved in Collegiate FFA and AgMech Club. For future students, Ashley stresses to always attend class. "A class may seem easy but you can end up getting a bad grade just because you didn't go to class."
Hayley Hogan is majoring in Agricultural Education, Communications and Technology with a concentration in Communications and a minor in Agribusiness. Haley, from Ozark, appreciates the unique atmosphere Fayetteville offers. "Coming from a small town, it was important for me to find somewhere I could be independent. The University of Arkansas is the perfect environment. It isn't too big and offers the ability to be as successful as each student makes it."
Hayley chose her major because it combined the two areas she was passionate about: journalism and agriculture. "I knew the program seemed to be the perfect fit. After getting involved, I fell in love with incorporating agriculture in writing, editing, presenting, speaking and designing."
"The Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences continually provides the opportunities I need to get the perfect degree to form the career I desire." Hayley appreciates the faculty in her department and their dedication to helping the students succeed in all areas. "Dr. (Leslie) Edgar has provided me with an internship to gain professional experience." For more information or advice, contact Hayley at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Matthew Harper graduated from Har-Ber High School in Springdale. His major is Agricultural Education, Communications and Technology with a concentration in Systems and Technology. Matt has a minor in Agribusiness. His major relates to his career plans because, "I am interested in working in product support, which will require strong technical aptitude. My concentration is perfect for my goals because it is a technical degree that teaches the principles of technology I need."
He chose the University of Arkansas because "it was close to home and a tradition." He chose his major because, "I was very interested in mechanical things and agriculture. It was a perfect fit for my interests."
Matt described the atmosphere of the Agricultural Extension and Education Department (AEED) and Bumpers College as friendly.
"I love how friendly the AEED department is and how hands-on and practical our classes are." Professor Donald Johnson and Instructor Casandra Cox have inspired Matt to get involved in student activities, including his positions as president of the AgMech Club and representative for his department.
His advice to new students: "Make sure to have good study habits. Don't wait until the night before to start studying. Always ask questions." He also recommends getting involved in campus organizations to make friends, connections, and resume builders. For more academic advice or information, contact Matt at email@example.com.
Alex Jackson of Greenbrier is majoring in Animal Science with a concentration in Pre-Med. A student in the Bumpers College Honors Program, he is currently researching cattle susceptibility to Bovine Respiratory Disease based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
Alex says he chose Animal Science because "I knew I wanted to go to medical or veterinary school and this major allows me to do both. I've always had a strong interest in the cattle industry from working on a farm for most of my life. I believe knowledge in agriculture will help any career plan."
He appreciates the helpfulness of the instructors in the Bumpers College. "I never feel like I am imposing on anyone when asking for help. My academic adviser has influenced me academically and personally. He is the nicest man I know and I don't know anyone who thinks differently," Alex says of Professor Jeremy Powell.
If Alex could go back in time and tell himself one thing he didn't know before college, it would be to get ready for the time of his life. He advises future students to "stay on top, but don't forget to stop and smell the roses." For academic advice or questions email Alex at firstname.lastname@example.com.
D.J. Adams from Chicago is an Apparel Studies major with an Agricultural Communications concentration. He chose the University of Arkansas randomly and fell in love with Fayetteville, the school and the campus. "The U of A is large but not too big. The Bumpers College is small but extremely driven, hands-on and personable."
"My adviser, Professor Leigh Southward, has helped me tremendously in school and in other important aspects, such as housing. Professor (Leslie) Edgar and Instructor (Casandra) Cox have helped me see how to take a course or skill and tailor it into something of my own." D.J. appreciates the diversity of his program.
He is interested in all aspects of the fashion industry. "My department covers visual resources, fashion merchandizing, business swat analysis, designing and writing." D.J. plans to own a fashion promotion company.
"Joining clubs is important because it is fun but a great source of empowerment," D.J. says. His advice for future students: "Always set time aside to apply for scholarships. Stay focused on your work, but be sure to enjoy yourself. Have a schedule set and also know if you don't have fun you will drive yourself insane. It's about balance." For academic advice or more information, contact D.J. at email@example.com
Cory Johnson, originally from Stuttgart, graduated from high school in South Fulton, Tenn. Cory chose the University of Arkansas because it offered a prestigious education in Crop Science. He is completing a minor in Pest Management.
He appreciates the Bumpers College because of the scholarship and study abroad opportunities it provides for students. "The agriculture programs here are great and offer many different classes for each major." He values his program for "the variety of professors and their knowledge and backgrounds in Crop Science."
Professors David Long and Mary Savin have been influential to Cory. "They have opened my eyes to different amounts and varieties of agriculture and how they correlate."
Cory plans to work as a crop consultant. "Bumpers College has helped me in reaching my career goals by providing the classes I need to gain the knowledge and understanding of modern agriculture in a competitive industry."
If Cory could go back in time and tell himself something before coming to college, it would be: "to double major and branch out. Study hard, but don't be afraid to do something different." For academic advice, contact Cory at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Entomology graduate student Jessica Hartshorn grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and completed her undergraduate degree at Southern Illinois University. She chose the University of Arkansas for her graduate and doctoral degrees because, "Fred Stevens, now my adviser, is one of the four best entomologists in the United States." Jessica was also drawn to the great teacher-student relationships in Bumpers College.
"I appreciate the support from faculty within the Bumpers College. Whether I am in my department, a different department, or the dean's office, everyone is genuinely concerned about me as a person."
Jessica said the Entomology Department faculty has helped her develop research skills as part of her preparation for a career. She has a graduate research assistantship, which pays her tuition and a small salary. Her research focuses on woodwasps and their basic ecology. "An invasive woodwasp was discovered in New York in 2004 and is most likely going to invade the southeast United States in the future," she said.
Jessica has academic advice for both undergrad and graduate students: "You probably won't end up doing what you think you're interested in; I started out as an English education major. In graduate school you have to be prepared to be pushed to your absolute limit: physically, mentally and emotionally, but the benefits are absolutely worth it."
Jessica is involved in ISELY-BAERG Entomology Club. For academic advice or questions, e-mail Jessica at email@example.com
Taylor Coomer is an Environmental, Soil, and Water Science major with a minor in Crop Management. A graduate of Piggot High School, Taylor grew up as a Razorback fan. She only applied to the University of Arkansas, she said, because "my dad graduated here. It's just a legacy thing."
She chose her major because it is close to her roots. "I grew up as a cotton farmer in the Delta region. It seemed natural to transition to study what I loved growing up doing." Taylor is in the Bumpers College Honors Program. Her honors thesis research includes testing effects of water use efficiency of biochar applied to soil in which cotton is grown.
Taylor appreciates the relationships with other students and teachers in the Bumpers College. "It's hard to find teachers who don't know you by name or face. This helps the students make great connections for career possibilities. The small class size is great, it is easy to receive one-on-one help with classes."
For prospective students, Taylor has advice: "Do what you love—don't think about the money. Don't be afraid to take chances, I came here as a pre-med major and now I'm the furthest thing from it, but it's what I love." For academic advice or questions, email Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Amanda Mishler of Dallas is a Food Science major and a member of the Bumpers College Honors Program. She chose the University of Arkansas "for a change" after growing up in Texas. After she visited Fayetteville and spoke with faculty members in the Department of Food Science, she knew the beautiful campus and excellent program were exactly what she desired for her college experience.
Amanda chose Bumpers College as a high school senior on a visit because, "the instructors really impressed me. I could tell they took their one-on-one perspective seriously." Amanda wants to pursue a career in product development through her major in Food Science.
"Bumpers College has been nothing less than helpful. I feel comfortable asking professors about their own experience. My professors have sought me out personally regarding classes, internships and research opportunities. The Bumpers faculty really cares about their students."
Amanda is conducting research for her Honors Program thesis with her faculty mentor, Professor Navam Hettiarachchy.
Her advice for prospective students: "Get to know your professors, they aren't scary. Go to office hours. Professors are always willing to help if you are willing to ask." Amanda said if she could return to her freshman year and tell herself one piece of advice, it would be, "Don't stress out so much; you can't do it all, you can only do your best." For academic advice or questions, e-mail Amanda at email@example.com.
Emily Culver, a graduate of Fayetteville High School, is majoring in Food, Nutrition and Hospitality Management with a concentration in Hospitality and Restaurant Management. Emily chose the University of Arkansas because it provided everything she wanted for her college experience. "I knew I wanted to major in hospitality, be a part of Greek life, live close to home and be involved in a great community."
The family-feel of Bumpers College was comforting for Emily. "We aren't just a number here." Her major is a perfect fit for her career plans because it sets her up for event planning. "Bumpers College challenges me, encourages me, and provides me with many opportunities to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to pursue my goals and do well."
Emily recommends getting involved in registered student organizations to meet and connect with others and give back to the community. She is involved in Eta Sigma Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Mortar Board and PhiU.
Emily also has advice for prospective students: "Make every moment count and savor each moment of every day whether you are just walking on campus, taking a test or hanging out with friends. Four years may seem long, but it goes by extremely fast."
Katie Waldrip of Moro is a Food, Human Nutrition and Hospitality major with an Agribusiness minor. Katie chose the University of Arkansas not only because it was a family tradition, but because she knew there was no other school in Arkansas that could offer her the education she expected. "Both of my parents graduated from Bumpers College, and I knew it was the experience I wanted as well," she said.
"My adviser, Assistant Professor Charles Ogbeide, has influenced me by directing me to clubs and leadership roles. If it weren't for his guidance and support, I wouldn't have traveled to a conference in San Diego or be Dietetics Club President.
"The Bumpers College is perfect because we have smaller classes and reoccurring professors. Since professors teach more than one subject, students get to build relationships with their professors that last longer than four years. The curriculum of the classes has more than prepared me to excel in graduate school."
Katie, who plans to pursue a graduate degree in Family and Consumer Sciences, is a Bumpers College Student Ambassador and is involved in many Registered Student Organizations on campus, including Associated Student Government, Diamond Dolls, Dietetics Club, Eta Sigma Delta, G.A.M.M.A., Hospitality Club, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Student Dietetics Association. She is available to e-mail for academic questions or advice at email@example.com.
Jeff Hunt of Hot Springs is majoring in Human Environmental Sciences with a concentration in Human Development. He chose the University of Arkansas for its great reputation as a research institution and its familiarity. "Fayetteville has been my home for many years now and I have deep roots in the community. U of A was my first choice."
When asked why he chose his major, Jeff replied, "I was really looking for a course of study that would help me learn more about myself, while also gaining skills that would help me improve the lives of others." He appreciates his program because the skills he learns in human development "apply to everyone, no matter their background or lifestyle."
Jeff describes the Bumpers College atmosphere as "open, welcoming and very diverse." He values the faculty in his program for their vast knowledge and real-life applications. His classes have given him insight to prepare him to effectively assist others in any stage of life. "These courses have covered such a broad range of topics that I feel prepared to follow professional opportunities in a number of different directions."
For future students, Jeff advises, "go to class, do the work and ask lots of questions! Perseverance is the key to success in college." He has learned through his college experience to never underestimate the knowledge he possesses. For academic advice or questions, contact Jeff at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Will Mears of Shawnee, Kan., is majoring in Horticulture, Landscape, and Turf Sciences. A graduate of St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Will chose the University of Arkansas because of the sense of community in the Bumpers College. "It's easy to get to know everyone—inside the classroom and out."
The program Will chose was perfect for his interests. "I have had a lawn service since I was 11. I've known since I was 16 I would pursue this career to continue my business." He appreciates the opportunities Bumpers College offers to its students, including study abroad programs and internships.
"As a transfer student from a community college, it was hard to figure out all of my credits. The professors are great at helping transfer students get organized and starting their experience here the right way." Will is a member of the Skeet and Trap Team and The Turf Club.
"I recommend getting involved. The Turf Club placed 5th out of 87 teams in the National GCSAA Turfbowl this year. Clubs are perfect ways to compete within your expertise and make friends with your peers."
Will has advice for transfer students: "Study your degree checklist. Only take classes you are required to take and the electives will fall into place."
Jonathon Smith of Rogers is a graduate student working on a master's degree in the Department of Plant Pathology. He has a graduate research assistantship, which pays his tuition plus a small salary. He is part of a research team studying species resistance and production and quantification of mycotoxins in grain under the direction of his faculty advisor, Assistant Professor Burton Bluhm.
After receiving his bachelor's degree at Arkansas State University, Jonathon chose the University of Arkansas for his graduate studies because it was close to home and provided the program he needed to reach his goal of being a research scientist. He plans to work in government or academic research.
"I like the Bumpers College atmosphere because it provides excellent professor-student interaction. I have an undergrad degree in biology and it didn't provide the same atmosphere."
Jonathon said his advisor, Dr. Bluhm, has influenced and supported his research and he values all of his Plant Pathology professors: "I have a relationship with every professor. They provide input with my research and I can learn from everyone involved in the program."
Jonathon is available to contact for academic questions and advice at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Terik Jones, a Poultry Science major, is a graduate of Green Forest High School. Growing up in the poultry industry in Green Forest, Terik planned to use his family background to pursue a Business degree and minor in Poultry Science. However, as Terik began taking classes in the Dale Bumpers College, he realized he wanted to pursue a major in Poultry Science. Terik appreciates the closeness the Bumpers College atmosphere provides. "My Bumpers courses have always been more laid back with a small classroom setting, which makes my education more personal."
Terik has been influenced by all of his Poultry Science instructors, but especially Professors Susan Watkins and Mike Kidd, who is also department head. "Dr. Watkins has helped me land internships, job offers and other connections throughout my college experience."
Bumpers College has helped Terik achieve his career goals by offering professional and business connections, including a chance to meet former Senator Dale Bumpers.
If Terik could rewind four years and give himself one piece of advice before starting college, he would say, "It goes by way too fast, so enjoy it." His academic advice for any student is a resounding, "don't procrastinate, go to class, and always be punctual." For academic advice or questions, e-mail Terik at firstname.lastname@example.com.

With a tractor, a farmer could do two, three, even five times as much work in the same time. To put it another way, tractors allowed a farmer to farm up to five times as much ground as he or she could with horses. One ad claimed that "One Case Tractor Replaces 12 Horses."
Yet, tractors were expensive. To afford a tractor, a farmer had to produce much more which meant farming more ground. These technological and economic realities produced a new social reality, farmers who were forced to get bigger or to get out.
The problem was recognized and another New Deal agency, the Farm Security Administration, was set up to help tenant farmers.
In other cases, the process was subtler. Farmers who had high debts when the Depression hit were forced to sell out. Their neighbors who might be slightly better off, bought the land and became bigger.
The result was the same. By the end of the 1930s, there were fewer farmers and those who were left were farming more land.

'I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living
sort in blood.'-- from A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin
'I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living
sort in blood.'-- from A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin
The next biweekly issue will be published on Sunday, the 18th of December, 2005
Despite what Martin says in A Feast for Crows, no history is ever dead so long as someone, somewhere 'members it and tells others about it. Same's true of trad music as anyone who has listened in on the conversations 'bout tunes that the musicians who play in the Neverending Session have between tunes about what they are playing can note. With that thought in mind, we asked some musicians which pieces of music history they keep alive by performing them...
J. S. Boyce -- I don't really consider myself a musician, but I can play a bit. I like Beethoven for his piano sonatas, and, most predictably, I can play the first movement of No. 14 (Moonlight). I'm a big fan of Tempest, also, but it's probably a bit beyond me.
Emma Bull -- Right now that would be 'Twa Bonnie Maidens.' It's so lovely and hopeful and soaring, exulting over Flora MacDonald helping Prince Charlie escape to the Isle of Skye. Yet it's got a wistful strain, too, at the end, as if the singer knows Charlie won't be coming back from France, whatever the song says: There's a wind in the tree, and a ship on the sea / To me hi, bonnie maidens, me twa bonnie maids / By the sea mullet's nest I will watch o'er the main / And you're dearly welcome to Skye again.
Tim Hoke -- For tunes, I play some Renaissance tunes, because I like that music, and I'm always looking for good contradance tunes, and there are some good dance tunes from that era. For songs, that's harder to say. I'm a ballad geek. I think it's well-nigh impossible to establish even a rough date of origin for many of the great ballads. I tend to introduce them as 'older than anybody I know'.
Larry Kirwan -- Blind Mary - the intro to Dear Old Donegal/Sleep Tight in New York City. it's an old Irish air/lament. It's evokes the memory of emigration which the song is what the song is about. Also, the song is written about a woman by name of Mary.
Zina Lee -- While sessions as we know them today didn't really
exist before the 1900's or thereabouts (no one knows for sure when they actually
started and arguments are rife as to whether they started in London or the US,
though most ethnomusicologists agree that they did not in fact start in Ireland),
there are lists of some of the tunes played by Irish musicians in the 1700's in
various tutors and such of the time, and some of the names of the tunes are the
same. I'm quite sure that there are some tunes still hanging round from the
sixteen hundreds, but no one really knows which ones they are. Add to that, even tunes that are completely new can sound very old, and vice
versa. There's a jig called The White Petticoat that sounds rather Slavic (and
therefore 'modern') -- I've launched it at sessions, had someone rather
doubtfully ask about 'that modern sounding jig of yours' and gleefully been able
to inform them that it's in O'Neill's, which was published around 1900. Prolly
some muso went to Bulgaria or somesuch and came back with it in his head. Which is a really long route round to saying, 'I don't know which one I play is
Peter Massey -- I think the oldest / ancient song I sing is one of the many version of John Barleycorn. The one I favour most was collected from Billy Bartle in Bedfordshire around about the time of King James I. I only sing it because nobody else (except Steeleye Span) seems to want to do it! - It does have a good chorus though! On the rare occasions when I pluck up enough courage to sing unaccompanied, I quite like many of the Copper Family songs such as 'Thousands or More', ' Babes in the Wood' or even 'Bold Fisherman' and 'Cheshire May Carol'.
Lars Nilsson -- I sometimes play an old medieval tune called Bransle something which I knicked from John Renbourn's The Lady and the Unicorn-album. I play it because I like the rhythm of it and because it is a good 'warm-up'-tune
Lenora Rose -- Probably the 12th C Ave Maria I'm in the midst of learning. It's simple
and rather pretty. I'm also learning the Flower Carol, which is the familiar music to good King Wenceslas (which is reputed to be 13th C), but lyrics from the 1600s -- and the English lyrics I favour are a translation, and so more modern than that. It's fun because it's a Spring Carol, not a Christmas one. She went on to add that I don't know most of the secular songs from that far back well enough to sing -- I strongly favour ballads, which, even if the words can be documented to earlier times, are usually set to 18th century or later tunes. And I love those because I'm passionately, rabidly in love with the spare storytelling.
Josepha Sherman -- OK, my dear: I play the folk harp a wee bit (I'm sadly out of practice) and of the older songs, I like 'Sumer is icumen in,' ca. 1260 or so, by our old friend, Anonymous. I like it both for the melody and the words, which are cheerful and alive with the image of animals jumping about for the joy of it. It also makes for a cheerful round for several voices. For the earliest songs, though we don't have the melodies, alas, I love some of the Ancient Egyptian love songs, which are downright modern -- such as the one about the girl who sees her boyfriend and rushes out to meet him with half her hair still undone!. She went on to note The Ancient Egyptians had our concept of romantic love, btw, clear in their songs. There's even a sadly fragmentary one of a wife undressing her husband, who's passed out after what was clearly too much drinking at a party, and how she loves him even so.
Pat Simmonds -- 'The Return From Fingal' is a great march reputed to have been composed after the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 to pipe Brian Boru's soldiers back to Dublin. I teach it to all my students and it's becoming a session standard here in Toronto. It's definitely a warpipes tune and definitely very, very old so I'd like to err on the side of mythology and think that it's one of the oldest tunes I play.
David Kidney like so many staffers here at Green Man considers Jethro Tull one of the finest rock bands that ever graced the stage. So it's no coincidence that he was the staffer who decided to review two review items of a Tullish nature, one rather bad and one most excellent!
Allan Moore's Aqualung, a look at perhaps the best know Tull album, caused him to be somewhat surly: 'Sometimes it feels as though I am too easy on the things I review. Even the stuff I start off not liking, I listen to -- or think about -- long enough to see the good in it. And then I try to present a fair and balanced look in my review. Well, that stops right here! ' How bad was it? Oh, this bad: 'The book is short, only 110 pages, but it seems to go on forever. As I read, my wife said, 'Stop grunting!' as I responded verbally with huffs and puffs on nearly every page.'
On the other hand, Aqualung Live was brilliant as David notes here: 'There's a sense in which re-visiting the past can limit our understanding of a piece of art like Aqualung, turning it into a museum piece. And by breaking down lyrics, and even chord structures and looking for meaning behind every bush, we turn essentially vibrant and dynamic pieces into static objects. If the creator of the piece can find new enthusiasm for a 24-year-old song collection (and he does) then perhaps rather than worrying about interpretation we need to simply crank our record players up to 11 (or at least as high as they will go), and dig the sounds of this classic, must-have recording!'
David also reviews Tull's Christmas EP. No, not the Jethro Tull Christmas Album but yet another delightful treat for those of you who love great music!
This CD is 'a nifty little extended player in CD form, which is essentially a musical Christmas card, if you are so inclined.'
You know by now that we get a wide range of printed matter in for review, ranging from chapbooks and zines of varying quality to the most tastefully produced limited edition works of material that is indeed classic. So it won't surprise you at the selection of material reviewed this edition. . . .
Gail Pirkis and Hazel Wood are the editors of Slightly Foxed and they sent us the first four volumes which J.J.S. Boyce reviews this edition: 'I got a year's worth of these all at once, but Slightly Foxed seems like a great thing to have a subscription to. You leave the latest copy on your coffee table, and read for 10 or 15 minutes whenever the mood strikes you. As you discover, or rather, as the contributors within share with you their discoveries, you make note of those described gems that really resonate with you, and you make it your mission to track them down, even if they've been out of print for 30 years (there's usually some good advice on how and where to track down some of those more difficult to find). A quarterly publication seems just about right, so that you don't feel inundated with 'to read' memos, but will never lack for good ideas, if you're not the sort to overload yourself with reading materials to begin with. So, if you're looking to explore some lesser-known works that have fallen through the cracks, this might be a good place to start.'
David Kidney also looks at a strange volume that is delightfully odd: 'The main title of this delightful little volume is Wimbledon Green. The sub-title contextualizes it by defining just who Mr. Green is, The Greatest Comic Book Collector in the World. And then it goes on in shiny bronze print to explain that what follows is A story from the sketchbook of the cartoonist 'Seth.' It's a sort of apology for putting this book out on the marketplace, and this impression is continued by Seth's Introduction, which he says, 'might be best . . . read . . . as an afterword.' But I read the Introduction in order of appearance.' Go read his review to see why he wholeheartedly recommends this volume!
Robert M. Tilendis looks at a young adult novel which he really found well-crafted: 'Steve Augarde is a well-known British illustrator and author of children's books. The Various, the first in a new series, treats readers to the adventures of twelve-year-old Midge, sent to stay with her Uncle Brian at the old family farm in Somerset while her mother Christine, a professional violinist, is on tour with the orchestra. In spite of her initial resistance, Midge is won over; she finds the farm and Uncle Brian charming, even before she discovers that her bedroom is the room in which she was born. It looks as though she is in for a pleasant idyll for two weeks, which is when her cousins Kate and George will arrive for a visit. Then she discovers Pegs, a miniature winged horse, lying wounded in an old pig barn, trapped under a rotary rake.'
George Alec Effinger's When Gravity Fails is in the same universe as his collection, Budayeen Nights. Robert says of this first novel in a trilogy that 'I can't not recommend this book. This edition is a reissue. Originally published in 1986, When Gravity Fails is fresh and surprisingly timely, in an age when things Arabic are of paramount interest in the West. And best of all, it's an absorbing mystery set in a rich and fabulous world.'
Robert also reviewed 'Silverheart, the latest addition to Michael Moorcock's tales of the multiverse, is a collaboration with Storm Constantine. I admire both authors, and was looking forward to this one. I came away from it, however, with decidedly mixed feelings.' Read Robert's Excellence in Writing Award winning commentary to see why Moorcock collaborating with Constantine was not the best idea.
A bit of ethnographic history is last up for Robert: 'Siberia, that vast tract that covers the Russian North from the Urals to the Pacific, is one of the most inhospitable places that humanity has found to live, equaled only by its North American counterpart (although Siberia does hold the record low temperature for any inhabited part of the earth). In its southern reaches it was the site of one of the most s significant events of animal domestication in human prehistory, and one that is little-known the in the West: the domestication of the reindeer. This phenomenon, and the lives of the people who live with their herds, are the focus of Piers Vitebsky's The Reindeer People.'
It being the Holidays, it must be time for the Grinch to make its appearance. No, not the seven foot sort of pookish being that Dr. Seuss created. This is our Grinch given to writers for a particularly Grinchy review. Susan Sellers' Myth and Fairy Tale in Contemporary Women's Fiction earned Leona Wisoker a well-deserved Grinch: 'A tremendous amount of research and thought went into this book. I give full credit for that; Sellers definitely knows what she's talking about. If she's writing for highly educated scholars, she's likely to be respected and admired for her hard work. For anyone with less than a Professor before their name, however, I wouldn't recommend this book. I'll add it to my shelves of feminist/myth writing on principle, because it has some worthy moments, but overall I found it very disappointing and frustrating. I couldn't even finish the whole book, and that's extremely rare for me; I've read some real stinkers all the way through. This book isn't exactly a stinker, but it was simply too dense a thicket for me to get into.'
Elizabeth Vail looks at two books by Robert Silverberg in a series called the the New Springtime saga, At Winter's End and The Queen of Springtime. She says it wasn't best written fiction she's seen: ' The series of The New Springtime began with a great deal of potential, but was ultimately flawed, and if the outline is any indication, would not have improved with the publication of the last volume. Fans of At Winter's End and The Queen of Springtime, however, may want to pick up these Bison Books editions, because the introductions by Robert Silverberg, as well as the outline for The Summer of Homecoming, are quite comprehensive.'
Gary Whitehouse looks at two books on Lenin, ooops, not that Lenin, but rather another one, John Lennon. Larry Kane's Lennon Revealed and Yoko Ono's Memories of John Lennon. Lennon means a lot to Gary ('As an American Baby Boomer, my life has been bracketed by assassinations. John Kennedy's, when I was 8, was perplexing. Bobby Kennedy's and the Rev. Martin Luther King's, the year I became a teenager, were frightening, coming as they did in a time of race riots, campus demonstrations and nightly body counts from Southeast Asia on the TV news. John Lennon's, on my elder daughter's first birthday, affected me most deeply.') so go read his commentary to see what he thought of these works.
Senior Writer Michael Hunter interviewed the legendary South African musician Johnny Clegg last September when Clegg toured in Australia. Clegg is famous for the formation of multiracial bands Juluka and Savuka during apartheid and for the incorporation of Zulu lyrics into his songs. In his interview, Clegg talks about how he is able to stay relevant in a post-apartheid world. He discusses the difficulties of touring from his home base in South Africa and explains how the ancient beliefs of his people provide a framework for understanding today's problems:
I've actually been watching the environment and if you know from a few lines of songs in the last Savuka album, it was already appearing, where we're talking about snow in the summer and all the seasons are upside down. Referring to the fact that there is some hidden hand which is changing our world but the real problem is that we're the one driving that hand...nature reflects the problems in culture. If we look at the droughts and the pestilences, it happens in countries where there is some kind of social injustice....There's a kind of African idea that 'no rain means no justice' and so we have to reorganise society so that we can bring back the rain. In that very kind of organic way, traditional African sight is: watch very carefully because nature is a barometer of the conduct of people and the maintenance of true social exchange and true social relations.
When Lars Nilsson hears London calling, he packs his bag and he goes. On this, his 50-somethingth trip, Lars leads us on a tour of London's musical meccas. This magical mystery tour covers a lot of ground, from Dowland to the Beatles and from Covent Garden to Albert Hall with frequent stops for short reviews of performances by Fairport Acoustic Convention, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, Appassionata, Dick Gaughan, and Wizz & Simeon Jones. The great thing about London, Lars says, is that you can find music where you least expect to hear it: lurking in the depths of a tube station, on backstreets and in cafes. Lars aptly paraphrases Dr. Johnson when he says, 'When a man is tired of London he is tired of music, because London has all the music life can afford.' Grab your copy of 'Time Out' and join the tour by clicking here.
Jack Merry 'ere. You find Nordic music in the oddest places these days. We were listening to a new recording, Bone Shaker, from the Scottish group Cantrip, in our flat on a cold, rainy afternoon recently when me dear wife Brigid said that piece sounded familiar from a concert we had attended some years ago. Checking the liner notes, we discovered it was called 'Vittrad' and that it was composed by Garmarna. That's what makes the contemporary Nordic music so interesting -- the way that a band outside of that genre picks up a Nordic tune and gives it a unique feel.
Now for our reviews this edition...
Faith J. Cormier notes that 'Beyond the Pale remind me a bit of the Chieftains in their ability to take songs that don't sound like they should be on a Celtic album and make them fit in and sound good anyway. 'Where To Now, St. Peter?' and 'From Me To You' (which always reminds me of Joni Mitchell's 'Free Man in Paris') and, especially, 'You Can't Break My Heart' (a little faster than I'm used to hearing it), are the outstanding examples of this on Queen of Skye.'
Randy Huston's There's a Hole in Daddy's Rope and Ian Tyson's Songs From the Gravel Road aren't Hee Haw style music according to David Kidney: ' Cowboy music is not country music. It's not even country and western music. It exists all by itself out there in the world of exotic music. And it is exotic, because it describes a lifestyle that is as unique and different to what we city dwellers know as anything you can imagine. The world of the cowboy is a rarified one, that (when I was a boy, at least) held more appeal than anything. Perhaps nowadays little boys grow up wanting to be firemen, or paramedics...but in my day all we wanted to be was a cowboy. Even Ringo Starr had plans to travel west and learn ropin' and ridin'. Tex Beatle? These two CDs show this music at its very best.'
Peter Massey says: 'Every now again if you listen to a lot folk recordings, as I do, it is nice to put on a bit of good old rock 'n' roll - just to blow the cobwebs away. Well this is one album that will do it for you with a vengeance. The Morells have a polished style that is modeled on the rock bands of the late 60's (the sort of sound I grew up with), so I think I can safely say 'I've been there and I've got the Tee shirt.' Now there's a thought -- think about it!' Now go read his review of the Morells' Think About It to see if they kicked it up a bit!
Pat Surface's The Long Goodbye is fitting for these early December days when it's dark and gloomy: 'This album is produced by Pat Surface not only as a dedication to his father-in-law Rocco Michael Passaretti, a victim of Alzheimer's disease, but also as a fundraiser for Alzheimer's Prevention Foundation & Alzheimer's Foundation of America. On the inside of the cover notes are full details of how and where to send your donations. Witnessing his father-in-law die from this disease gave Pat Surface the inspiration not only to produce this album but also write the title song 'The long Goodbye'. In his own words from the sleeve notes, 'Family inspired me to create a piece that not only described the pain, but also the lasting legacy of love, and the promise of eternal life.' I think it is fair to say he has managed to do it.'
Christopher White was very impressed by Mark Lemhouse's new recording: : 'On first hearing The Great American Yard Sale you might think many tracks were originally released in 1955 or 1975. Closer listening reveals the sprinkling of contemporary musical and lyrical references that, along with the excellent sound quality, lets you know otherwise. Recorded mostly in Memphis, the material and musical approach are authentic and timeless.'
Healthy White Baby's self-titled recording caused Gary Whitehouse to wryly note ' You'd think by now that musicians would have figured out that being in a band with one's spouse rarely works for long. The pop music scene is littered with the wreckage of musical couples whose bands and marriages broke up at the same time.' Read his review to see how this couple fared!
A tribute album to the The Beatles' Rubber Soul released on the on the 40th anniversary of its release in 1965? Er . . . is it any good? Or just a really bad idea? Gary says ' This could have been a lot worse. If such a tribute had been released a decade ago, I shudder to think who might've been on it. Silver Chair? Oasis? Smashing Pumpkins? Courtney Love? Sheryl Crow? Hootie? At any rate, we've been spared those bleak possibilities and left, for the most part, with a slate of artists who are by and large much closer to the roots of rock. If This Bird Has Flown piques the interest of their fans to check out the originals, so much the better. As for me, I'm definitely going to give The Donnas, Ted Leo and Low some attention. But first, where's my old vinyl copy of Rubber Soul?'
Cat Eldridge, our Editor, has decided that this is the winter for him to read all of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series -- all nearly three thousand pages in first four fat volumes of the seven volumes planned for publication! So you'll most likely find him most evenings for quite some time to go near the fireplace, Irish coffee in hand, in that overstuffed chair that storytellers here in the Pub often use while telling stories -- appropriate he thought given Martin's storytelling skills! No, he's not reviewing it -- that honour fell to Elizabeth Vail who got the review copy of the latest novel, A Feast of Crows, and who is preparing a look at the first three volumes (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and A Storm of Swords) which will run shortly. No, he's quite content savouring the series as long as he can!

Tchimpounga Nursery Overflowing
Over the past six months, Tchimpounga has received six more orphaned infants. As a result, each caregiver is taking care of three or more chimpanzees, which is overwhelming to say the least.
Lemba, a young chimpanzee whose legs are paralyzed from polio, acts as the adoptive mother. Unlike the caregivers who have 24-hour responsibilities, Lemba's duties only require that she play with the babies and keep an eye on them during the day.
Antonio, who arrived in January, and Anzac, who arrived in April, joined Lemba's group and are integrating nicely. The two younger infants, Zola and JeJe, are just starting to spend some time outside each day along with the rest of the group, but only under the careful supervision of their surrogate mothers.
Chantal, one of our most senior and seasoned chimp "mums," is in charge of the younger infants. Her experience and patience are critical to ensuring that these infants adjust and become secure and content, so they can grow up to be normal chimpanzees.
JGI does not endorse handling or interfering with wild chimpanzees. The chimpanzees interacting with a caregiver in this image are orphaned and live at the Tchimpounga sanctuary.

Skoll Foundation on World Water Week PanelSeptember 4, 2012 by Sally Farhat Kassab
Skoll Foundation principal David Rothschild just returned from World Water Week in Stockholm. Wednesday, he presented on a well-attended panel on US philanthropy in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector, alongside colleagues from Hilton Foundation, Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Winrock, Water for People and others. (Rothschild is seated second from left in the photo above).
"On the panel, Water for People CEO Ned Breslin and I had an open discussion about social entrepreneurship, the Skoll Foundation's approach to philanthropy and how our efforts and our community have not only helped Water for People, but also challenged and pushed them to go further and do more. Ned was eloquent and passionate about how innovate and supportive the Skoll Foundation is," Rothschild says.
Here's an interview with Rothschild, where he talks about funder-grantee relationships, and more:
Watch for a blog from him later this week, and meanwhile, read Water for People's blog about World Water Week: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-sauer/setting-our-sights-high-a_b_1845136.html?utm_hp_ref=clean-water

19 kids and counting for the Duggars
If they can afford it, I say let them have as many children as they'd like. My concern regards putting those children (and their parents) on national television. While I have no doubt that most of them turn out all right, images of Jon and Kate Plus 8 flow through my head.
On the other hand, their home is 7,000 square feet so they likely have the room for the newborn. We only need to be careful that the Duggars are not in actuality breeding an army of soldiers to conquer the world.

I'm having trouble getting in my water so I've bought several colored and different shaped water bottles for home. I keep them in different rooms of the house so that no matter where I go, it's there looking at me and saying "drink me". I'm not at 8 yet, but I'm well on my way.
I've always struggled getting in enough water. A friend said she was getting me a water bottle. I don't know what is about the gift but I love my fancy purple bottle. Now I get in my water and I don't think about it. My advice, get a bottle you love.
I was having a hard time getting all my water in- and then I bought a plastic cup with a lid (to keep on my desk at work) that also came with a straw. The straw has made a HUGE difference. Getting all my water in no longer seems like a chore. That straw made all the difference.
Getting enough water in helps me stay hydrated and feeling better in every way. When I don't drink enough water, I feel bloated and "blah". SOO, in order to make sure I get a good start on getting in enough water in a day, I fill up a large water bottle the night before (atleast 16 oz is what I do) and stick it beside my bed. In the morning, the first thing I do is drink the water...
