Be very afraid, redux
"House adopts plan for 'volunteer' corps: Also requires new evaluation of 'mandatory' service for all". From WND, via Weasel Zippers:
The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a plan to set up a new "volunteer corps" and consider whether "a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people" should be developed.
The legislation also refers to "uniforms" that would be worn by the "volunteers" and the "need" for a "public service academy, a 4-year institution" to "focus on training" future "public sector leaders." The training, apparently, would occur at "campuses."
Will ascots be involved? Because if so, Wolcott is like, so in.
The vote yesterday came on H.R. 1388, which reauthorizes through 2014 the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, acts that originally, among other programs, funded the AmeriCorps and the National Senior Service Corps.
It not only reauthorizes the programs, but also includes "new programs and studies" and is expected to be funded with an allocation of $6 billion over the next five years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Many, however, are raising concerns that the program, which is intended to include 250,000 "volunteers," is the beginning of what President Obama called his "National Civilian Security Force" in a a speech last year in which he urged creating an organization as big and well-funded as the U.S. military. He has declined since then to elaborate.
The new bill specifically references the possibilities "if all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service."
They already do. By way of taxes. The rest is indentured servitude to the state, and the state can go fuck itself.
Such new requirements perhaps, the legislation notes, "would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."
And such new requirements perhaps would weaken the social fabric by pitting whatever willing volunteers there happen to be to this fascism-lite against those of us who will gladly provide the obstacles to their success.
I'd rather the trains run a bit late and the overpasses shout graffiti than live in a country where our kids are put in uniforms and, in exchange for an education and a leg up, are forced to do the bidding of the state to whom we supposedly grant power.
According to a report by Canada Free Press, "'volunteerism' that kept America running since the days of its founding" would be "wiped out with the stroke of a pen."
"It becomes forced labor and like the practice of another era, presses American citizens of all ages and creeds, unknowingly into military service," the commentary said.
"On paper, H.R. 1388 is the 'Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act'; the more innocuous sounding 'The Give Act,' for short.
"The Give Act puts the finishing touches to Public Allies New Leadership for New Times, modeled after Saul Alinsky's 'Peoples Organizations' and operating under Michelle Obama," the commentary said.
"Michelle was also a pioneer in the social entrepreneur movement –- leaders who create new approaches and organize to provide new solutions to social problems. Like most things Saul Alinsky, H.R. 1388 sounds noble in stating why wide-sweeping change is necessary," the commentary said.
"H.R. 1388 goes straight to the heart of volunteerism in America, impacting everything from the lemonade stands of neighborhood children, to the residents of senior citizens homes. … The Give Act puts tow-headed school children and silver-haired seniors in the official uniform of the new State, and encompasses every walk of life in main-street America," the commentary said. "Whether you are young or old, or firmly believe that volunteering means you are offering your time to the good of community work, you will be pressed into Obama's National Civilian Community Corps."
Groups of such "volunteers," would, under the legislation, be "grouped together as appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding purposes. The Corps campus for a unit shall be in a facility or central location established as the operational headquarters and boarding place for the unit. … There shall be a superintendent for each camp."
And this superintendent, s/he draws his or her power from where, exactly…?
The plan generated this concern from Resistnet.com: "This is the equivalent of brown shirts."
Another portion of the bill talks about a "service learning" plan that will be "a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency."
A forum participant noted, "I wonder what's going to happen to those who refused to 'volunteer.' Maybe they will be put into a different 'campus.' I guess we will soon find out."
This is, I believe, all a big pipe dream on the part of the progressives and quasi-socialists who are quickly losing the reins on government, frightenening as even a thought on many levels, sure, but destined to fail spectacularly.
Because the one thing freedom-loving people have on their side these days is the inescapable fact that politicians now so consistently back down in the face of public outrage that the civil disobedience that will arise from this attempt to turn our children into lifelong "progressives" and servants to the state (and that's what this is: the government will be paying those that increase the power of government, creating a client state) will be met with such pushback that the program is sure to be "re-imagined" back into mostly innocuous AmericaCorp-type territory.
Perhaps now would be a good time to start a pledge movement. This can be the first of our OUTLAW initiatives — setting up an online petition that states in no uncertain terms that we will not allow our children to be taken by the state to create a progressive paradise under the rubric of forced "diversity" and "duty" to the government.
WE are the government. WE give power to IT, not the other way round.
Anybody who can help in this regard, let me know.
I've even got a bumpersticker phrase already selected: "We'll keep our hands off your uterus; you keep your hands off our children."
Of course, I'm not married to it.
So, whaddya say? Petition? We can even scribble the thing on toilet paper if you want. To make it more, y'know — OUTLAW!

If, by 'toilet paper' you mean copies of the 13th Amendment, then I think we have the beginnings of a plan.
We should market toilet paper with the flag on one side and the Bill of Right on the other. Then our friendly representatives could insult us coming and going.
Uh, yeah. "Voluntarism" courtesy of the same bankrupt progressivism which has fought tooth and nail against any suggestion that welfare recipients get off their ass and, say, clean up parks in return for their free nipple suckage off teh public kitteh. THAT would be involuntary servitude, but stealing time from society's producers, hell, that's bitchin'.
Awfully convenient to have all these unemployed people standing around, no?
be "grouped together as appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding purposes.
Just Federalizing what Organized Labor alreadys does
Now these executives are toxic, and those communities are rattled and divided. Private security guards have been stationed outside their houses, and sometimes the local police drive by. A.I.G. employees at the company's office tower in New York City were told to avoid leaving the building while a demonstration was going on outside. The memo also advised them to avoid displaying company-issued ID cards when they left the office and to abandon tote bags or other items with the A.I.G. logo.
One A.I.G. executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he feared the consequences of identifying himself, said many workers felt demonized and betrayed. ''It is as bad, if not worse, than McCarthyism,'' he said, referring to Joseph McCarthy, the former U.S. senator who used indiscriminate, often unfounded, accusations to suppress opponents. Everyone has sacrificed the employees of A.I.G.'s financial products division, he said, ''for their own political agenda.''
And there may be more protests. The Connecticut Working Families party, which has support from organized labor, was planning a bus tour Saturday of A.I.G. executives' homes, with a stop at the company's Wilton office.
''We're going to be peaceful and lawful in everything we do,'' said Jon Green, the director of Connecticut Working Families. ''I know there's a lot of anger and a lot of rage about what's happened. We're not looking to foment that unnecessarily, but what we want to do is give folks in Bridgeport and Hartford and other parts of Connecticut who are struggling and losing their homes and their jobs and their health insurance an opportunity to see what kinds of lifestyle billions of dollars in credit-default swaps can buy.''
Road trip! Back your rocks and tomatoes!
Oh, think of all the clean, running on time trains, the ObamaCorps will produce and how they can be used to Keep Order in those filthy capitalist neighborhoods.
"Back your rocks" = "Pack your rocks"
This is my uniform suggestion.
Whatever. I'm in. I'd be happy to bring it to my Obama meeting tomorrow. See what they have to say about it.
I hope they get the uniforms from Hugo Boss rather than from whatever hack designer does Michelle's cat pee couch and kleenex parade float ensembles.
Considering the way he treats our military families, I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to volunteer.

I'm sorry, but this kind of crap has to be stopped. RICO their asses, please?
Seriously — how is this not just the Democrats returning to their Klansmen roots? They're threatening violence to cement their political power.
I will not comply with any part of this rubbish, should it make it into law. They can try sending the Sturm Abteilung to halt my little Methodist Church's food pantry and clothing drives.
Comment by Dan Collins on 3/20 @ 11:05 am
Goodness, what kind of camp is O going to send people to in order to fit in that uniform? And will those buttons pass CPSIA?
I used up my supply of "volunteer" in '71, dude. Ask the fuckin' VC to help out, why don't ya?
I might even resell children's books. MUHAHAHAHHAHA.
…innocuous AmericaCorp-type territory.
Maybe it's just my mindset, but they make me sick. I was recently helping a church group (Quakers, of which I'm not) rebuild a home in New Orleans and ran into some AmeriCorps volunteers. This photo doesn't do their uniforms (or self-satisfaction) justice. The uniforms I saw were totally khaki and covered with black government agency-type badges. My stomach turned. I was in the Peace Corps, and I am accustomed to khaki uniforms from Boy Scout work, but a bunch of brightly smiling, self-congratulatory, GOVERNMENT-controlled and uniformed youths is something entirely different.
I pledge to do my "Volunteer" service to refurbishing children's books from the 60s.
If you people know what's good for you, you'll shut up. I have journolists watching you for me.
#15 – Heh. Maybe Senator John Kerry could go – I hear he can get their ear if needed.
Did you see the pics of Liddy with the CodePink "protest signs" behind him?? A man who the government begged, begged to come out of retirement last fall and parachute in to save AIG (and who takes $1/year "salary")
Who called 'em in? As if that group of walking vaginas would know a creditswap from a swapmeet.
I'd be happy to bring it to my Obama meeting tomorrow.
Are you actually going to attend one of those, Carin?
There's only one in my city, and only one person has signed up to attend. I'm not sure if that's counting the "organizer". Heh.
So are we in the chaos stage before the strongman shows up? B/c BO just doesn't seem all that srongman-y.
So, whaddya say? Petition? We can even scribble the thing on toilet paper if you want. To make it more, y'know — OUTLAW!
I'm in. Goddamned right, I'm in.
But I'd suggest scribbling it on the back of an empty box of Winchester .308 ammo, instead of toilet paper.
Anybody know how to put together an online petition? Quick, before Pajamas steals the idea.
I'm gonna try. I have to pick my kids up from their grandma's house, so as long as I get back in time … I'm there.
Ok, whose watching teh watchers watching the watching watchers? Or, what just happened?
I shall be siccinct – Fuck those mother fucking fuckers.
That's a start, Carin.
Now where is JHoward or BJTex or Ric or Pablo — someone who can word this in a way that is less obnoxious than I most undoubtedly would?
Of course, in the fine print: y. This public forum is privately sponsored, so we reserve the right to refuse submissions arbitrarily. P
I don't know who sponsors them.

That, I'm told, is a newer development. Interesting as well, AmeriCorps has internally adopted a policy of "no comment" when asked about current policy, even to past members.
My AmeriCorps friend is predicting the bulk of monies and members will go to the worst NGOs that are most efficient at money-grubbing, such as the Urban League, which he characterised as a blatantly racist organisation [although that could mean the local affiliate].
Other than that, he's still reviewing. All I got from him was a long-winded potted history of Govt-sponsored volunteerism a la VISTA, etc.
And the special needs horses they rode in on, JD.
I've been reading your blog for a while and have tried to follow your argument with this Patterico entity when I have time. Keep up the good work.
Forced Volunteerism is "like the Special Olympics"!
Hell with petitions; takes too much time away from loading magazines. Maybe we could start up some neighborhood Combat Tupperware parties…?
Succinct would have been better to type, but those goat fuckin' cockandballz lickin' actual fascists can eat my chocolate starfish.
How about, nobody gets a job in Federal government in any capacity until they've put in 5 years in the private sector, assuming we've still got one?
I'd on-board for having the same requirement for university tenure, Dan.
Madelynn can make the decision to volunteer for government service at 18. Any attempts to make her serve the government will be met with a large and loud cloud of dispersed metal traveling about 1100 fps.
Sorry if this was already posted on the other thread. Treacher is en fuego.
Volunteer work will set you free.
takes too much time away from loading magazines.
I finally broke down and bought a Glock 19 last week (hf-that's the one suggested in the "scary link at Reynolds"). And I thought I may as well buy ammo for the AK someone gave me years ago and which has sat in my closet UNFIRED. People, I'm here to tell you that ammo for AK weapons is scarce as hen's teeth and what is available has recently doubled in price. Whether people are just going long on it, hoping to make money later, or preparing for something else, I don't know. But the rumors are true.
Now where is JHoward or BJTex or Ric or Pablo — someone who can word this in a way that is less obnoxious than I most undoubtedly would?
I certainly don't have their flair for speech, but how 'bout we start it with something like this:
"Mein Fuhrer, if you only knew what is happening . . ."
. . . or is that too derivative?
Sign me up.
>>"grouped together as appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding purposes.
I am wondering how the former gang banger 'campus' will differ in curriculum from the disinterested suburban couch potato 'campus'.
And how this 'grouping' would accomplish the stated goal of "bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.â€
I didn't know 7.63×39 was so scarce. I've been looking at 7.62.51 and 5.56×45. Just out of curiousity of course.
Oops, 7.62×39
I won't volunteer for anything.
cranky — I'm not current on gun world stuff. I assume the scarcity speaks to relatively cheap and plentiful AK versions and knock-offs. Or maybe it's because much of the ammo comes from Russia and former bloc countries, and folks are afraid it'll be cut off. Don't know.
No need for invention, since the Master has already said it all:
The coming generation must fight the war at home. They are participants in it. They must display strong character and good behavior. When a nation is fighting for its future, which after all is the future of its children, the youth have to be involved, they have to support the battle with their full energy. They must show through discipline, order, industry and attitude that they are worthy of their age, and of the men who are risking their lives. Cocky know-it-alls or big-mouthed boasters only look stupid. Particularly in the midst of a war in which millions of men are risking their lives for the nation, the youth must again learn respect for sacrificial manhood. They must also learn to honor women and mothers who are fighting for the continuation of their nation. They should be obedient and modest, and above all do their duty. That does not mean they have to act according to the proverb: "Go through the land with your hat in the hand." That was an idea of the past that we have left behind. Modesty is not the same as subjection, and a well-bred, disciplined lad of good character does not need to be a pussyfoot. Millions of soldiers today follow orders and do their duty. They have been willing to give up their own independence to serve the Fatherland in the community of the army. How much more should we expect that of German boys and girls during a war! They will become grown up, mature people of our great, proud nation, and many of them later in life will be giving orders to others. That is why they must learn obedience now, especially in a time when everything hangs for us all on doing our duty obediently.
The HJ and the BDM are there to help parents educate their children, since parents today are often in a position themselves to do only part of the job. Every father in the field and every mother at home or on the job must know that their dear child is in good hands with the HJ or the BDM. They must be confident that boys and girls are being brought up to be decent men and women.
Or, further:
It goes without saying that the National Socialist revolution, which is modern and intent on action, as well as the popular upheaval we have led, must change abstract and lifeless methods in the radio. The old regime was content simply to fill empty offices or change the faces, without however changing the spirit and content of public life. We on the other hand intend a principled transformation in the worldview of our entire society, a revolution of the greatest possible extent that will leave nothing out, changing the life of our nation in every regard.
This process, which has been visible to the layman in the last six months, was naturally not random. It was systematically prepared and organized. We have used our power in the last six months to carry out this transformation. We spent the period before 30 January in winning power, having then the same goals that we have carried out in the six months since we took power.
It would not have been possible for us to take power or to use it in the ways we have without the radio and the airplane. It is no exaggeration to say that the German revolution, at least in the form it took, would have been impossible without the airplane and the radio.
Of course, nowadays we have to include teevee, but the Good Doctor anticipated quite enough — we can forgive him for not foreseeing such technical innovations.
And this superintendent, s/he draws his or her power from where, exactly…?
From your not being able to stop it.
Are you looking for a textual answer?
It's the hat.
It's the hat and your knowing that if you defy the hat, a hat escalation will ensue, and it will end only with your surrender or death.
Each hat is all those hats, textually.
I hear he can get their ear if needed.
Oh, that's evil, Colonel.
I think our only hope is that enough people in this country still have that streak of stubbornness in them to resist this kind of thing. It has been knocked out of many by the progressives, but I think enough remain to make sure this cannot happen.
Goddammit you're depressing sometimes, Psycho. Funny, but did anyone else notice that during the dark years of Bush and his "Fascist State" and constitution shredding, and even during the War on Terror, we went eight years without something similar to Waco, Ruby Ridge, or the Elian Gonzales affair?
The only one my children will serve is me, as my spotters.
What depresses and frightens me is that these assholes have already convinced half the country that taking away somebody's livelihood and handing it to their deadbeat neighbor is "charity." It's not that big of a stretch to see these same sheep buying into the idea that the Obama Youth Corps is a wonderful combination of volunteerism, education, and free day care.
"The State will raise my children? For free? This is wonderful! What could possibly go wrong?"
It's the moral equivalent of war, which early 20th-century progressives like Woodrow were way into.
Or as they called themselves then, "liberal fascists."
…before Pajamas steals the idea.
Oops! Too late!
Funny, but did anyone else notice that during the dark years of Bush and his "Fascist State†and constitution shredding, and even during the War on Terror, we went eight years without something similar to Waco, Ruby Ridge, or the Elian Gonzales affair?
Yeah, but some Arabs got nasty looks in a plane.
(Honestly, I'm shocked we've gone this far into the Obama administration without such an incident, but I suspect we'll see the rebirth of the Militia Movement Scare any moment now.)
You mean like this – http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/03/missouri_police_given_chilling.html ?
Oh, yeah, Clint, that's the story I had in mind. Couldn't remember the original source.
Ooohhh-yeah. We're in for a bumpy ride.
The rebirth if the Militia movement has been well underway on cable TV for a few months. I started seeing that rumble on PBS, Nat Geo, etc… just before the election. The Skin Head/White Supremacist assholes are back now too! Nat Geo spent a couple of hours on them just last night, and of course had to tell us how they may become violent AT ANY TIME!!11!!
Of course, nowadays we have to include teevee, but the Good Doctor anticipated quite enough — we can forgive him for not foreseeing such technical innovations.
Believe it or not, the Good Doctor actually pioneered propaganda TV:
Convenient to have all these unemployed folks around, no?
"Or maybe it's because much of the ammo comes from Russia and former bloc countries, and folks are afraid it'll be cut off."
Blame me – I bought a few million rounds for the Iraqi Army back in August '08… heh.
Also, Wolf (in Russia) can't keep up with demand.
From your not being able to stop it.
Oh, I don't think that's the case. At all.
Has anyone heard if these camps will have, uh, showers?
Make a bet on solar heated water, ginsocal, must have green as well as happy campers.
Our new Sportamans Warehouse (just opened 5 months ago) is going out of business already. Went to get some ammo last weekend, and they were out of everything except oddball stuff. Fortunately my S&W Model 57 uses oddball stuff-.41 Magnum, so I was ok.
BTW, writing petitions on toilet paper seems more, well, outhouse, than outlaw.
There It Is.
"Sportsmans" Jeez…
As for the ammo problem — it's the Seventies "gas crisis". There was plenty of gasoline; it was just that people were so nervous that they'd fill up when they'd only used a quarter of a tank, so all the inventory was in private vehicles' tanks and not at the stations. Result: waiting lines.
It doesn't take much cruising around the pro-gun blog sites to discover people who will simply go in and buy a brick of ammo whenever they think about it. One that I know of travels in his job, and whenever he sees a new gun store he stops and buys some. There's lots of ammo, and more is being made, but it's on people's shelves in the basement and not behind glass at the gun stores.
And, as before, it's the pronunciamentos from the politicians and Press that generates the nervousness. Hoarding is the "fault" of the hoarders; it's the fault of the idiots who set up the conditions that make hoarding attractive.
Hoarding is NOT the "fault†of the hoarders; it's the fault of the idiots who set up the conditions that make hoarding attractive.
Sheesh. I'm feeling better, but obviously the improvement hasn't gotten to my fingers yet.
There is plenty of the more expensive ammo available right now for immediate shipment. The surplus stuff, on the other hand, is pretty much bought up, though it's changing hands in auctions.
I hear that. I, of course, don't buy any myself.
Re: gas shortage:
The problem was Dear Jimmuh decided to fix the price. Fixed (low) price -> shortages
Let the price float and people start cutting back on use, just as they did last year. It's the supply vs. demand thing, ya see.
Write the petition as a lesson in intentialism. You can explain the context for determining the meaning of volunteer as forced servitude based on the inclusion of a black man in the debate along with a president who is getting a dog. Congress wouldn't want to use common words that might offend.
Is it just me, or would my last post have been funnier if I had directed it to Patterico?
I'm thinking there was a good reason why I've been a long time lurker at PW while not commenting.
So is "but they do it, too!" going to be your standard response to everything for the next four years, meya?
7.62mm x 51mm is NATO… 7.62×39 is Rusky AK-47 ammo
"So is "but they do it, too!†going to be your standard response to everything for the next four years, meya?"
You mean the republicans wont get rid of homework?

"Welcome to tolerance camp. You are here because you would not accept people's differences. Because you refuse to accept the life choices of your fellow man. Well those days are now over.

Ric, I bought a bunch of 7.62 x 39 last year and the year before. How much is a bunch? Well, at least 2 of the orders were over 1000 rounds. The only thing I regret is that lots of it is Wolf which isn't reloadable.
Oh, I also bought a little Army Field Manual on storing weapons and ammo safely underground and outdoors….
I warned you. I did … months ago … but you said something like "meh".
Told you so ;)
So will noone stand up for the 13th amendment?
One thing: IIRC, the Brownshirts were actually volunteers. They were eliminated. It was the Hitler-Jugend who had the requirement to join (and there was a girls' organization). All other civic groups were outlawed in favor of government-approved civic groups.
This stuff just writes itself, doesn't it?
SBP: I heare that Robespierre milked The Terror for all it was worth.
I wonder how that worked out?
I'm in, point me at something.
"Brown Shirt" = signified without a sign.
That is, the signified "Brown Shirt," refers to a sign that means support for Obama's domestic volunteer corp, regardless of the sign's (non) relationship with the signified.
Or, in other "words," the signified "Brown Shirt" comprises a sign that has been entirely loosed from any active individual's intention (i.e., agency–which itself is the definition of individuality).
Conscription by mandate into a group by virtue of the accident of a person's birth (based upon any arbitrary category–like skin color, accidental social pedigree, social standing, gender, or date of birth, for instance)–is the fundamental denial of any essential equality. It is, rather, the recognition of the condition of essential inequality as the basis for social justice.
Because no one is equal, no one CAN BE EQUAL.
In which case, inequality must then be the basis for all equality.
Hence, social remediation of differences of result must be ameliorated by corrections to differences of origination.
To put it in other terms: differences in outcome can only be remedied by pretending that differences in origin do not exist. Furthermore, any differences in origin must be sufficiently punished to erase the possibility of differences of outcome.
This, of course, means that the gains of any individual or generation during his or her lifetime, over and against the "successes" or "failures" of his or her progenitors, must be erased to make sure that the playing field for each successive generation is the same.
That is: success represents a negative imbalance to the playing field and, like failure, must be erased each time it (success) is realized, thereby guaranteeing that every new member of every new generation has the same chance at "success" or "failure" (which, according to the same paradigm, must be the same thing).
Success is failure. Black is White. Laverne is Shirley.
(to plagiarize, just a bit . . .).

A dazzlingly unconventional design for the city's fifth-tallest skyscraper is proposed as a bow to its historic neighbors.
The developer who saved the historic First United Methodist Church sanctuary last year has unveiled plans for an asymmetrical skyscraper next door that could be a striking addition to the downtown Seattle skyline.
At 660 feet, Daniels Development Co.'s Fifth and Columbia Tower would be the city's fifth-tallest building, and the tallest constructed since 1990. But its height would be less distinctive than its angular design.
Each side of the slender office tower is to have four triangular planes set at different angles, like facets on a diamond. As it rises, the skyscraper would extend in and out of the air space above the other two buildings on the block, the 1908 domed church sanctuary and the 1904 Rainier Club.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
Most Read Stories
The design was driven in part by a desire to honor, rather than overpower, those venerable neighbors, said Kevin Daniels, Daniels Development president and a longtime historic-preservation advocate.
The tower's angles and slopes suggest "it's paying homage to its neighbors," he said. "It's genuflecting."
Because of the angles, the dimensions of each floor of the 43-story tower would be slightly different, larger in the middle than at the top and bottom.
The "facets" would be covered by glass that would be either transparent or reflective, depending on weather, point of view and time of day. At times it would reflect surrounding buildings, including the historic church at its base and the skyscrapers on the other three corners of Fifth Avenue and Columbia Street, designers say.
"All the sides of the building are different," said partner Allyn Stellmacher, of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca, the architectural firm that designed the tower. "It'll be a different building when it's sunny, when it's dark, when it's cloudy."
A church annex built in 1950 would be demolished to make way for the tower.
The $300 million project already has won the approval of the city's downtown Design Review Board, an advisory panel.
"It's a very exciting and interesting proposal," said board member Wilmot Gilland, former dean of the University of Oregon architecture school. "It's one of the finer projects we've seen in the last year and a half or so."
Sanctuary saved
In mid-2006 the city changed downtown zoning to allow taller, skinnier office towers. Under the old zoning, the tower would have been limited to 450 feet, and Daniels said it probably wouldn't have been economical to build.
Michael Godfried of Save Our Sanctuary, the group that led the charge to save the century-old Methodist church, called the tower "an elegant building that's going to be a nice addition to the skyline …
"They kept it simple. They didn't add too many bells and whistles," he said. "Hopefully that's what's going to allow it to harmonize with the sanctuary."
Daniels was widely applauded last year for his role in saving the historic sanctuary, whose destruction seemed inevitable after the church won a long legal battle to prevent the city from designating it a protected landmark.
Church leaders said sale and redevelopment of the property could provide both new worship space and money to support the congregation's ministry to the homeless and others. They also maintained that the congregation lacked the resources to repair the aging sanctuary, damaged in the Nisqually earthquake.
In 2005, city planners approved a 33-story tower that would have replaced both the sanctuary and annex. But community leaders implored the church to reconsider.
In a complex, $32 million deal announced last May, Nitze-Stagen, Daniels Development's sister company, agreed to buy the church property, preserve the sanctuary and move the congregation to a new home near Seattle Center.
But designing a skyscraper limited only to the church-annex site posed special challenges, Daniels and Stellmacher said.
The quarter-block site was too small, they said, to build a conventional tower that would be economically viable. And the historic buildings on the rest of the block demanded respect, an architectural imperative that suggested the tower should be distanced from them — and its footprint reduced still more.
Solving a design puzzle
So they designed a 760,000-square-foot building that is smallest at its base, providing greater separation at street level from the sanctuary and Rainier Club. The first four floors, walled with clear glass, will serve as a "crystalline podium" for the rest of the tower, Daniels said.
Some higher floors of the tower would contain nearly twice as many square feet as the ground floor. At its closest, the skyscraper would come within 4 feet of touching the sanctuary's roof.
Economics dictated that the building's upper floors intrude some into the air space over the sanctuary and Rainier Club, Daniels said. But he and the architects rejected a more boxy cantilever over the sanctuary because of concerns such a design would overwhelm it.
The faceted design that was chosen also serves a practical purpose, said Bob Zimmerman, managing partner of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca's Seattle office. The diagonal steel braces that separate the triangular planes on each side help hold the building up, so it requires fewer columns that block views and reduce leasable space.
Daniels has tentatively arranged to provide parking for Rainier Club members in the skyscraper's underground garage in return for the club's air rights. The garage would be built under both the tower and what is now a tiny parking lot at the south end of the Rainier Club's property.
"[Daniels] has made a real effort to find out what the club's needs are and accommodate them in his design," said Douglas Oles, the club's president.
As for the skyscraper, "it's hard to argue it's a complementary structure" to the brick, gabled club building, he said. But it would allow more daylight than the bulkier, 33-story tower originally proposed for the Methodist property, he added.
The Fifth and Columbia Tower also would feature:
• A narrow courtyard between the skyscraper and the sanctuary's south wall, with sculpture and a water feature, that would be accessible to the public from Fifth Avenue.
Design Review Board members have expressed concern the space could be too dark and forbidding. In response, Daniels said, designers may add more reflective surfaces to make the most of daylight.
• What architects call a "living wall" along steeply sloping Columbia Street, with plants growing from holes in a vertical facade along the sidewalk.
• Environment-friendly features, including solar-energy equipment on the angled roof that would generate a small part of the building's electricity, and a system to capture and reuse all the rainwater from the entire block.
Future use of the First Methodist sanctuary hasn't been decided, Daniels said, but it will be renominated for landmark status, and any use "will preserve the sanctity of the building — no condos."
The city is expected to approve a land-use permit for the tower in the next few weeks. Daniels said he hopes to start tearing down the church annex in April and finish the skyscraper by mid-2010. No tenants have yet been signed.

All ten Senior School Houses, alongside UVI students from St Johns, performed two songs of their choice; firstly as a small ensemble then as entire houses, including teaching staff.
With Eastbourne College's Director of Music, Nick Parran-Smith, as the visiting judge all houses brought unique style and energy to delight both him and the large audience of pupils, teachers and parents.
Whilst named a House Shout, the dynamic range on show was far reaching, making for a night that left the ears ringing only from the rapturous applause. Stand out acts included Red Cross' version of The Calling's Wherever you will go and Woodard's I wish I was James Bond, by Scouting for Girls; though neither House could take victory on the night.
Finishing in joint second place, Fleur and Shield gave accomplished ensemble performances of Firefly by Ed Sheeran and We are young by Fun respectively. Highlighting their creativity and vocal powers Fleur then harmonised S Club 7's debut single, Bring it all back, whilst Shield sang Jessie J's hit Price Tag.
It was a tough decision for the judge but after some consideration, Pelican's pitch perfect delivery of Titanium by David Guetta and the girls' enthusiasm as they collectively sang Tina Turner's Rolling on the River, clinched the title.
Speaking after his adjudicative decision, Nick Parran-Smith said, "I was looking for good singing, good entertainment and a good sense of fun. That was some of the best singing I've ever heard in a House competition, anywhere, and definitely the most fun."

The Dakine Serena Purse mixes a little fun with a lot of organizational savvy. This bag is ready for your wallet, your laptop, and whatever other surprises you want to pack.
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Good size!
I like the size of the bag, it isn't too huge or too small. A few more pockets would have been great.
I love the colors, I hate anything to bright for everyday use.
I do wish the strap was more adjustable, to make it shorter or longer, there are only 3 holes to adjust the size.
It is great quality, should last me a long time even with my abuse :)
Crochet print = Loving Mother Earth!
The Crochet print is built with 100% recycled PET fabric from discarded plastic bottles. Thanks Dakine!
Bought this messenger to coordinate with other Dakine luggage. Perfect purse for travel as it has good interior pockets. The casual veranda print and size even worked as my beach tote. Great for all your small items.

By Porter Shreve
Houghton Mifflin. 272 pp. $23
Lydia Modine's husband, Cy, has left her. Cy was never a particular picnic, but he hung around for 33 years and was a decent father to their three grown children: Ivan, who works now in Washington; Davy, who's off somewhere going through his own drama with a falling-down start-up dot-com venture and a girlfriend who's mad at him; and Jessica, a moody girl who left home one day in a beat-up van and drove all the way to Oregon, where she works now as a food checker in an organic grocery store and has an unattractive boyfriend named Void. They're all about as far as they can get from Detroit, where Lydia has spent more than half her life making a home for all of them, where her father made his career designing cars, where Cy worked on and off in that same business, and where Lydia herself has made a career of her own, writing various volumes of history about the iconic, mysterious, convenient, destructive American car.
Now, like any other "pseudo-elegant heap of tin" (to quote James Baldwin), Lydia has been junked. She hasn't seen her kids for a year and a half, and they're only coming home because their dad, Cy, is getting married to Ellen, a woman half his age. The happy couple will be moving to Phoenix, where they plan to lie in the sun and devote themselves to a life of pleasure. Lydia, stuck in Detroit, is all alone, a product of that quintessential automotive phenomenon, planned obsolescence.
How dare she complain? It's the American way. If a guy is halfway cute, or bored, or doesn't get enough attention or feels his wife doesn't understand him, he's more than entitled to "turn his 40 in for a 20," or in this case, his "61 in for a 35." And certainly American children are encouraged to finish school, get a job and get out of the house. (Our popular magazines suggest that there's something wrong with living at home with your parents, although people in other cultures often live at home until they marry and start families of their own.)
As a result of all this, Lydia lives her life in museums. She frequents the archives of the Ypsilanti Automobile Museum, collecting material for her books. (This is where she meets Norm, a desperately eccentric car "expert" who feels that the Big Three have done their best to ruin American culture, as well as bring down the only authentic genius to come out of Detroit, the automotive engineer Preston Tucker.) But the real museum she presides over is her home, which is beautifully kept up in the living room, dining room and kitchen but filled to the brink with relics everywhere else: the attic, with all the detritus from her parents' lives, including a clay model of the Tucker 48, designed in part by her father; a basement filled with all the flotsam of Cy's flighty life, including his exercise gear, fishing tackle and God knows what else; and the separate bedrooms of her children, filled with all the junk they couldn't be bothered to take when they left. And out in the garage, there's a 1957 Chevrolet Nomad, a classic bought by Cy to restore, but then abandoned -- just one of the many projects he started and then quit.
The truth is that although the kids call fairly regularly, they don't waste any thought at all on Lydia and how she feels. Her place in the family now is curator of the past. How many underappreciated mothers-in-law and grannies and even ex-wives have we expected to perform this function for us -- storing our toys, old prom dresses or even battered but beloved motorcycles? That's a woman's job. And even though the author stacks the deck by giving Lydia a career -- or at least a pastime -- and paints a watery admirer in the far background waiting to step into the picture, Lydia is in a fix.
Ironically, it's the daughter (who's most like her) who precipitates the action in this novel. Jessica, with her dead-end job and boyfriend, is just as much in limbo as her mother. She is stuck; she can't go forward or back. While her brothers (mildly) blame their dad for sleazing out and marrying someone half his age, Jessica blames her mother for everything -- her housekeeping, her efficiency, the weather in Detroit. Finally, after one condescending remark too many, Lydia tells her daughter a big, whopping lie -- ostensibly to get her family back, but more probably to get them off her back. She's like a dog shaking off fleas.
To the author's credit, we never know Lydia's real motivation; the last sentence of the novel can be either hopeful or heartbreaking, depending on how the reader sees it. "Drives Like a Dream" is a beautiful novel, carefully put together, full of charming secondary characters, charitable to all, even -- or especially -- Cy and his prissy new wife. The tone here is comic, even genial, but the theme is sad. Everything we have, we lose. Life, despite America's feverish materialism, is ephemera. Everyone we knew or know, up to and including ourselves, will all too soon be obsolete, whether we plan for it or not.

Glee Promo: In-Depth Analysis of Season 5, Episode 4: "A Katy or a Gaga"
Tonight, we cried our eyes out watching Glee's Cory Monteith tribute. It was rough. It was emotional. We're going to need some time to recover. And you know what? Glee is giving it to us. The show is going on a break until Thursday, November 7.
But when Glee does return, prepare for an epic Katy Perry vs. Lady Gaga battle! Season 5, Episode 4: "A Katy or a Gaga" is all about the music of these two pop divas. So what is about to go down? We've been hard at work tracking down spoilers, and now this promo offers even more sneak peeks. Now it's time to analyze it — second-by second, frame by frame — in search of more clues about what to expect.
00:01 — Thursday, November 7
Yep, you read that right. We're going to have to wait almost a month for new episodes of Glee. Sigh. Waiting is hard. Okay, but now Schue (Matthew Morrison) is talking. "Drumroll, please."
00:04 — "War is declared!"
It's Schue vs. Sue (Jane Lynch)! "Bring it on," he growls at her. Sorry, butter hair. Our bet's on her. "Brung," she sneers back. Cut to the choir room. Uh...why is Jake (Jacob Artist) wearing a super-weird lion costume?
We mean, Katy Perry does have a song called "Roar." But we don't think this is the actual performance, because the spoiler photos we've seen from it look a whole lot cooler.
00:08 — "It's the Katy Perrys vs. the Lady Gagas"
How cute does Marley (Melissa Benoist) look all dressed up in a bubblegum pink wig and matching red and white candy suit? Her "California Gurls" ensemble is perfectly Katy Perry..spinning candy wheels and all. We love it.
Plus, Ryder (Blake Jenner) and Artie (Kevin McHale) are recreating Lady Gaga's "Applause" video with every single odd, wacky, and creepy quirk. We can't wait to see that final song performance.
00:12 — With...
Unique (Alex Newell) spins around. "Plot twist! News flash!"
00:13 — Guest star Adam Lambert!
The former American Idol runner-up from Season 8 is making a guest appearance, and he's auditioning for Rachel (Lea Michele), Santana (Naya Rivera), Kurt (Chris Colfer), and Dani (Demi Lovato)'s new Madonna cover band.
That's right. We said Madonna cover band. Also: Demi Lovato. The girl is basically flawless, and we are so glad to see her back this episode! (And if she and Santana want to get in some sweet lady kisses, we definitely wouldn't complain.)
But back to Adam Lambert. His character's name is reported to be Starchild. (Not his real name, obviously. It's a stage name. His real name is Elliott Gilbert.) He's auditioning for the cover band by singing Lady Gaga's "Marry the Night." And we're not going to lie: He's knocking it out of the park.
Dani loves it. Santana's jaw is on the floor. Kurt, however, does not look impressed. Rumor has it Starchild will be Kurt's new rival. And yes, they are going to face off in song at some point this season.
00:17 — Starchild's hanging from a chandelier in the NYADA classroom.
And spinning around as the lights glisten and sparkle. It looks really cool but also totally unsafe. That huge glass chandelier can't be that sturdy, can it? We sure hope he doesn't break it. Ouch.
00:20 — "Glambert! Gaga! Katy"
Oh. Hey there, shirtless Sam (Chord Overstreet). We'd forgotten that Glee seems to insist that poor Chord remove his shirt at least once every few episodes. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if there's a specific number of shirtless scenes specified in his contract.
00:22 — "What do we call it?"
"I came up with an amazing name," Santana announces. Dani and Rachel smile. Kurt is not impressed. "We are not naming the band The Apocalypsticks, okay?"
See the song list for the episode, then get even more sneak peeks in our complete spoiler roundup.

Psalms 922 To show forth Your loving-kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night, 3 With an instrument of ten strings and with the lute, with a solemn sound upon the lyre. 4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works; at the deeds of Your hands I joyfully sing. 5 How great are Your doings, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep. 6 A man in his rude and uncultivated state knows not, neither does a fool understand this: 7 That though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to be destroyed forever. 8 But You, Lord, are on high forever. 9 For behold, Your adversaries, O Lord, for behold, Your enemies shall perish; all the evildoers shall be scattered. 10 But my horn (emblem of excessive strength and stately grace) You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil. 11 My eye looks upon those who lie in wait for me; my ears hear the evildoers that rise up against me. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree ; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon . 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and verdure . 15 to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Middlebury offers summer leadership and innovation program again in 2014
For the second consecutive summer, Middlebury College will offer a four-week leadership and innovation program at Sierra Nevada College (SNC).
Called MiddCORE Immersion, it is open to students and recent graduates from any college or university and will take place June 2-27. The new program features mentors, ranging from CEOs, politicians and entrepreneurs to artists and actors, who will provide students with intensive hands-on challenges and skill-building workshops. Such skills include leadership, collaboration, strategic thinking, persuasive communication, crisis management and financial literacy. The program will enroll up to 60 students the first summer.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, however, enrollment is limited, so students are encourage to submit their applications by January 15, 2014. More information about MiddCORE Immersion, including admissions information and cost, is available at http://middcore.middlebury.edu/programs/middcore-at-sierra-nevada-college/.
Middlebury's MiddCORE Immersion at Sierra Nevada College
MiddCORE Immersion is intense.
A diverse group of students from top liberal arts colleges and universities bring their energy and curiosity to the shores of Lake Tahoe. Collaborating in groups of 15-20, and working over 40 hours a week for one month, students face daily, weekly, and month-long challenges designed to build the CORE strengths needed to become effective leaders and creative problem solvers.
MiddCORE Immersion is experiential.
Students learn by doing. They learn to think strategically by addressing real challenges posed by partner organizations. They learn to innovate by developing and testing the feasibility of their own ideas in the MiddCORE Innovation Challenge. They learn to communicate persuasively by engaging in improvisation exercises, idea pitches, and story-making workshops. They learn to negotiate by practicing conflict resolution. They learn to handle the unexpected by managing crises. And they set their own moral compass by generating best responses to ethical dilemmas.
MiddCORE Immersion is collaborative.
Working in small groups, students learn to listen, create, collaborate, and lead. Through formal and informal interactions with dynamic, engaging, and successful mentors, students learn to take calculated risks, be more resourceful, identify opportunities, and deal with ambiguity.
MiddCORE students arrive with curiosity and ambition. They leave with a unique set of skills, a vast network of mentors, and a newfound confidence.
In short, they leave prepared to lead.
To learn more about MiddCORE immersion at Sierra Nevada College, visit Middlebury College's website at middcore.middlebury.edu/programs/middcore-at-sierra-nevada-college/.

Dr Yi Liang, University of Arkansas, and a group of researchers from the University of Arkansas, Oklahoma State University, and Mississippi State University recently completed the project which evaluated the effect of in-house broiler litter windrowing on several important production and environmental factors. Potential pathogens, such as Clostridium spp. and E. coli were reduced below detection limits after windrowing. The moisture content of litter was reduced significantly by windrowing and the quality of the paws (paw score) improved in the windrowed houses. Water soluble phosphorous levels were very similar in windrowed and non-windrowed litter. Windrowing did not eliminate ammonia emissions from the litter. Overall, the windrow process provided a positive effect to most of the parameters studied and provided no negative effects. It provides producers an option for reducing potential pathogens in the broiler house, reducing litter moisture, and improving paw quality. A detailed summary can be found here.

If you attend a public college or university:Undergraduate students enrolled at state colleges and universities are eligible if they are classified as in-state students for tuition purposes.If you attend a participating private college or university:Undergraduate students enrolled at participating private colleges or universities may be eligible if the college or university is approved for the program by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and the student:Is classified as an in-state student for tuition purposes;Is a graduate of a Colorado high school or has successfully completed a non-public home-based educational program in Colorado;Financially eligible by demonstrating financial need through the student's eligibility for the federal Pell Grant, or its successor program;Is not pursuing a professional degree in theology; andMeets any other eligibility requirements established by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE).Note: "Eligible Undergraduate Student" does not include a student enrolled in an off-campus, extended campus, or continuing education class not supported by state general fund moneys, except as approved by CCHE.
Q. How much is the College Opportunity Fund stipend worth?
1183 views, College Opportunity Fund (COF)
It will vary. The per credit hour stipend amount will be determined each year by the Colorado Legislature.The amount of the stipend for the 2013-2014 academic year is $62 per semester credit hour for eligible students attending participating public colleges and $32 per semester credit hour for eligible students attending participating private colleges.
Q. Is there a cycle for refund checks?
1055 views, Financial Aid - Disbursement
- Yes. Because we are one of 13 Community Colleges in Colorado, we cannot run refunds whenever we choose. Refund checks are generated by the Student Accounts office once a week on Monday's (please note, these days are subject to change). If there is a credit balance by 9:00 a.m. on Monday morning, the credit will turn into a 'batch refund' on the Student's Account and a refund will be generated by Higher One. Student's will either have their funds direct deposited into their bank account or put onto their Debit Card and funds will be available one week later on the following Monday. Please remember that refunds may be held if there is a past due balance for a previous semester until payment is received in full When you see 'batch refund' on your account and have not received your funds within 10 business days after the refund date, please call Student Accounts at 502-2300 for further assistance. Again, we cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your address and telephone information up-to-date with the Enrollment Services Center.
Q. What will the College Opportunity Fund pay for? What do I pay?
884 views, College Opportunity Fund (COF)
- Your college or university bill will show the total in-state tuition, the amount paid by the fund (the state's share) and the portion for which you are personally responsible (the student's share). You will pay the total in-state tuition minus the portion paid by the College Opportunity Fund and minus any financial aid you receive.
Q. Do I have to reapply each year?
877 views, College Opportunity Fund (COF)
- No. You only apply once. When you complete the stipend application you create an account with 145 available undergraduate hours. You can receive stipend funding for these hours at any participating college in the state of Colorado.

Challenges let unchecked by hosts
I would love to have the opinion of members in this forum about how the win to the Challenge Anxious relates to the theme of the challenge. Is this a case of a challenge opened by a host who let it go and grow as if wild grass without care about wheater entries are in agreetment with the challenge theme or not?
Nothing to say about the win, it is a great photo but it suits the requirements and rules?
At the challenge page I wrote:
"Congratulations to the win, nice photo although I will like to have it from the host, how does this take relates to the theme of the challenge. I am making a dumb of myself by participating in this unchecked, left for the insanne, neglected by host challenges?
Thank you,
Obviously, I am still waiting for a reply by the host.

Findagrave has their rules and regulations for a reason, if you feel they are to strict or to laxed perhaps this is not the place you need to volunteer your time with. If you want to help them please accept their rules/regulations and stop changing them to benefit yourself or your ways. I try my best to go by the rules, so don't fault me, if it is not the way you want it. Sorry!
Keep in mind, this is not a place for a family tree! It is a tribute to those who have passed on before us, gives relatives a chance to see their family member's graves, and help with family research. If you are asking for transfers just to create a tree, I will not transfer. If it is your goal to maintain memorials of those that are related to you, it goes against what FINDAGRAVE is all about. You have any additional info I will gladly add through the edit system. I will also be happy to make all corrections, additions and family links you may have. If you want to be a major part and contribute to FINDAGRAVE, please go out and do the leg work, walk cemeteries, visit newspaper offices, state archives and find where your relatives are buried. They may have an unmarked grave and by doing this you may help another. Just maintaining your relatives memorials is not a contribution. Someone else has already done the leg work.
On all transfer requests, include your relationship to the deceased. Requests will only be processed if they fall within Findagrave guidelines. Please, don't ask if beyond Findagrave quidelines. Request of transfers outside the guidelines will be ignored.
Everyone has their own way when creating memorials. I try my best to go by findagrave rules. Please do not try to get me to do it your way. Not saying it is wrong, just respect the way I do mine. I do not do full obits or photos from obits, which are against FAG rules without written permission. I also do not link to unknown burials.
Please do not place photos from obituaries on the memorials I create. The rules clearly states "Please do NOT add photographs from obituary notices (unless you, personally took the photo), as they are protected by copyright law. Find A Grave reserves the right to remove obituary notices and photographs from memorial records. Similarly, you may NOT scan an obituary and add it as a photograph to a memorial record." I will refer all photos placed on the memorials, I create, to the Findagrave admins. I take it that those who continue to place obit photos and name the living on memorials, either can't read or believe they are above the rules!
Some things are better left unsaid! So perhaps, I do not reply.
Please ask before using my photos. You may do this by using the edit tab on any memorial I have created.

Eminem's wordplay, psychotic lyrics and voice were just a few of the reasons we got into his music during the mid '90s. In the early part of his career, he was saying things never heard from any other emcee in the game. His delivery, cadence and demeanor were unique, interesting and believable.
"Whose arm is this? I must have cut it off at the pharmacist, That refused to renew my 7th prescription of Darvocets, I'm the old man who lives upstairs and starves his pets, That never leaves his house, cause he thinks his car's possessed" – Eminem on "Watch Deez"
Eminem was never afraid to speak his mind and collaborate with emcees who were talented, but maybe not as "mainstream" as some wanted his collaborations to be. He's respected for experimenting and doing what he does best: making you press pause and rewind so you can clarify what he just said. Without further ado, here are 10 of Eminem's Craziest Bars. Lose yourself in these lyrics.
Thirstin Howl III f. Eminem – "Watch Deez"
Eminem – "Demon Inside"
Eminem – "3 A.M."
The Madd Rapper f. Eminem – "Stir Crazy"
Eminem – "My Darling"
Eminem – "Murder Murder"
Eminem & Royce Da 5'9 – "Welcome To Hell"
Biggie Smalls f. Eminem – "Dead Wrong"
Eminem f. J-Black & Masta Ace – "Hell Bound"
Eminem – "If I Get Locked Up Tonight"
Eminem – "3 Verses"

text: "Gran Coupe" variants are newly added to the 6 Series line for 2013 as part of the current "four door coupe" craze. Unlike the two-door versions, the Gran Coupe can seat four passengers in some degree of comfort. As with the rest of the line, the 640i comes powered by a sufficiently lively 3.0-liter 315-horsepower turbocharged six-cylinder engine, while the 650i packs a 4.4-liter V8 that generates a quicker 445 horses. A quick-shifting six-speed manual transmission is standard on the 650i, with an eight-speed automatic optional there and standard with the 640i. Handling is sufficiently sporty, with an array of advanced chassis control systems on hand to help the car maintain its poise in even the most demanding situations. Options include both active steering and rear-wheel steering to further improve the car's stability and cornering abilities.

Talib Kweli, whose Gravitas album is now available, recently spoke with HipHopDX about how the collection is different from previous projects he's released and what fans can expect from the set.
"The first thing that they can expect from Grativas is to have a direct relationship with me," Kweli said exclusively to HipHopDX. "Gravitas is direct to fans. It's only available at kweliclub.com. I want your e-mail. You can expect that I'll have your e-mail and I'll be e-mailing you things. When you buy with all these different corporations, they have your e-mail [addresses], but the artist never gets it.
"[With] Prisoner of Conscious, the focus was definitely to show people, musically, you like my music because I make great music," Kweli added. "The focus of Gravitas is definitely lyrics and me telling my story. Prisoner of Conscious was like, 'I'm making songs.' I'm like, 'Okay, I'm making this song. Let's see what this song is about. Here's a song with Miguel…' I'm proud of Prisoner of Conscious. I worked on it for four years. It was the album I wanted to make. But immediately after I finished making it, I felt the need to start writing. ...This is for fans of mine who already know that I'm dope musically. They just want to hear dope lyrics. So this album is for them."
Along with this album, Kweli is also launching Javotti Radio, a signature radio station with Radionomy, a company that allows artists to create radio stations their fans can listen to.
"It's been great, Javotti Radio and Radionomy," Kweli said. "It's been a good thing. I've been on the tour. I've been on [Macklemore & Ryan Lewis'] 'Heist Tour' and trying to finish the album at the same time. So, I haven't had the chance to get into programming Javotti Radio in the way that I would. There's so much more I could be doing with it. But right now, it's just a great radio station. Say your music palette doesn't just include one thing. Some people just listen to battle rap. Some people just listen to ratchet-ass music. But say you listen to all that. Say you like Fleetwood Mac. Say you like UGK. Say you like Bilal. If you like all those things, and you give them all equal space in your soul and your heart, than Javotti Radio is perfect for you. It's just a great listen. But it will get better. It's just a great listen. It's a bunch of great songs being played on it. I know because I hand-picked them. I didn't hand-pick every song, but I definitely hand-picked every artist that is on there. Once I get some more down time, which I don't know when that's going to be, but once I do get some more down time, I'm going to program some more, have some mix shows or interviews, podcasts, all that."

If you didn't lodge your complaint way back when, there's no point in kvetching now. The "Footloose" remake is signed, sealed and almost delivered. The film that does not star unlikely teen heartthrob Kevin Bacon, or love interest Lori Singer, or have Kenny Loggins' version of the original theme, opens nationwide in theaters on October 14th.
Directed by Craig Brewer (he of deep-fried and urban dramas "Hustle & Flow" and "Black Snake Moan"), the 2011 version of "Footloose" stars stars Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Andie MacDowell and Dennis Quaid. Further proof that this film is right around the corner is news of the soundtrack that will arrive in stores on September 27th. While the 12-track disc does not feature Loggins' version of the iconic "Footloose" theme, it does feature American country music artist Blake Shelton's remake/cover/reboot, whatever you want to call it.
Released on Atlantic Records and Warner Music Nashville, the eclectic soundtrack will feature country acts like Big & Rich, Hunter Hayes, Jana Kramer and Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band, pop stars like Cee Lo Green (teaming up with Kenny Wayne Shepherd), Victoria Justice, hip-hop via David Banner and rawk courtesy of The Smashing Pumpkins.
Ella Mae Bowen contributes a cover of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero" and Jana Kramer will deliver what we assume will be a nu-country-fied version of Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear It for the Boy." The soundtrack includes eight new songs in total along with remakes of four of the classic hits from the original soundtrack.
In "Footloose" (2011), Ren MacCormack (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont's local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister's troubled daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough) in the process.
"FOOTLOOSE" Soundtrack track listing:
1. Footloose – Blake Shelton
2. Where The River Goes – Zac Brown of Zac Brown Band
3. Little Lovin' – Lissie
4. Holding Out For A Hero – Ella Mae Bowen
5. Let's Hear It For The Boy – Jana Kramer
6. So Sorry Mama – Whitney Duncan
7. Fake I.D. – Big & Rich feat. Gretchen Wilson
8. Almost Paradise – Victoria Justice & Hunter Hayes
9. Walkin' Blues – Cee Lo Green feat. Kenny Wayne Shepherd
10. Window Paine – The Smashing Pumpkins
11. Suicide Eyes – A Thousand Horses
12. Dance The Night Away – David Banner

My XP computer can't read media files created with my laptop, which has Vista. They are just .wma and .wmv files, but the disc just can't be read! I checked other discs, and they open, and the disc I'm having problems with opens just fine on my laptop. Any ideas what's up? XP can't even find the files on the disc I created with Vista, no error messages, just can't see the files!
How do I address this, any ideas?
