A fatal arrogance

During a closely fought general election, The Sunday Telegraph tells us, "those of a Conservative disposition will need to stick together if Gordon Brown is not to win by default."

This is in a leader headed, The fatal fringe, which is backed up by the Boy King-groupie-in-chief, Matthew d’Ancona, who complains bitterly that "there are Tories who would rather lose than change". And thus is the newspaper recording the Tories waking up to the threat of the minnows and the Boy King’s latest attempt to plug the leaks in the dyke.

Significantly, the line exactly matches that of Gerald Howarth whose views we published on this blog yesterday and who warns us that a victory for Gordon Brown "will be assured unless people get behind the Tory party and rally to our flag".

How interesting it is that these sophisticates - who understand the political process so well - simply do not get it: we, the electorate, as my colleague is so fond of saying, owe you politicians nothing. If you want our vote, you are going to have to earn it. The message "vote for us or Gordon Brown will get in" is not enough - not anything like enough.

It didn't work last time (pictured) - and it isn't going to work this time. To think otherwise is a fatal arrogance that is going to lose you the election.

 Eva loves a letter | Eva Green Web
M.   /   June 26, 2009   /   7 Comments

Bond girl Eva Green is easily pleased. She’s French, a huge Hollywood star, and has kissed the likes of Daniel Craig – but give her a hand-written letter, and she’s yours.

She told me about a letter from The Golden Compass writer Philip Pullman: “It wasn’t an email, he took the time to write it personally, I framed it.”

See guys? You can get a Bond girl with some paper and nice handwriting…

    that’s really sweet of Philip Pullman to do 🙂
    EGW guys, i guess that’s one task for all of you to do! 😉
    thanks Mariana!

    spot: this is a promotion trick to make us buy Montblanc pens instead of our keybords 🙂
    But yes it’s true that for the sensitive people a handwritten letter says more than the content itself…

    PS …unfortunately for me because my handwriting is really awful.

  3. spot Says:

    damn EGW is on a roll today! i can’t keep up!…but i sure as hell love all the new updates! thanks a lot my dear Miss M *hugs* 🙂

    Excusez moi quoi n’a pas compris pouvez expliquer
    ! ?

  5. spot Says:

    George: haha. in that case, Eva’s one clever lady 😉 it is indeed true that sensitive people prefers handwritten letters….

  7. Ea Says:

    I have a okay handwriting, unfortunately I suck at writing letters generally…

    However it is worth a try, even though in our case it’s hardly the handwriting that’ll be a problem, rather the chance that she’ll get it and get time to read it…

Complete Poems and Songs of Robert Burns

Despondency: An Ode

Oppress'd with grief, oppress'd with care,
A burden more than I can bear,
I set me down and sigh;
O life! thou art a galling load,
Along a rough, a weary road,
To wretches such as I!
Dim backward as I cast my view,
What sick'ning scenes appear!
What sorrows yet may pierce me through,
Too justly I may fear!
Still caring, despairing,
Must be my bitter doom;
My woes here shall close ne'er
But with the closing tomb!

Happy! ye sons of busy life,
Who, equal to the bustling strife,
No other view regard!
Ev'n when the wished end's denied,
Yet while the busy means are plied,
They bring their own reward:
Whilst I, a hope-abandon'd wight,
Unfitted with an aim,
Meet ev'ry sad returning night,
And joyless morn the same!
You, bustling, and justling,
Forget each grief and pain;
I, listless, yet restless,
Find ev'ry prospect vain.

How blest the solitary's lot,
Who, all-forgetting, all forgot,
Within his humble cell,
The cavern, wild with tangling roots,
Sits o'er his newly gather'd fruits,
Beside his crystal well!
Or haply, to his ev'ning thought,
By unfrequented stream,
The ways of men are distant brought,
A faint, collected dream;
While praising, and raising
His thoughts to heav'n on high,
As wand'ring, meand'ring,
He views the solemn sky.

Than I, no lonely hermit plac'd
Where never human footstep trac'd,
Less fit to play the part,
The lucky moment to improve,
And just to stop, and just to move,
With self-respecting art:
But ah! those pleasures, loves, and joys,
Which I too keenly taste,
The solitary can despise,
Can want, and yet be blest!
He needs not, he heeds not,
Or human love or hate;
Whilst I here must cry here
At perfidy ingrate!

O, enviable, early days,
When dancing thoughtless pleasure's maze,
To care, to guilt unknown!
How ill exchang'd for riper times,
To feel the follies, or the crimes,
Of others, or my own!
Ye tiny elves that guiltless sport,
Like linnets in the bush,
Ye little know the ills ye court,
When manhood is your wish!
The losses, the crosses,
That active man engage;
The fears all, the tears all,
Of dim declining age!

"Twilight of the Gods", an opera by Richard Wagner. Siegfried leave Brunhilde with the Ring, promising to return. He meets Gunther and Hagen. Gutrune, Gunther's sister, drugs Siegfried and marries him. Gunther then asks Siegfried to help him win Brunhilde. Brunhilde, rejected, helps Hagen slay Siegfried. When Hagen tries to take the Ring, the dead hand attacks and kills him. Brunhilde rides into Siegfried's funeral pyre causing a conflagration which consumes the gods.

Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)
Opera Number Four of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen (a.k.a. the Ring Cycle)
First performance: Festspielhaus, Bayreuth, 17 August 1876 (also the first performance as part of the completed Ring Cycle)

Who's Who – Characters and voice parts

Norns (daughters of Erda)
First Norn (contralto)
Second Norn (mezzo-soprano)
Third Norn (soprano)

Siegfried, son of Siegmund and Sieglinde (tenor)
Brünnhilde (soprano)

Gibichungs (children of Gibich and Grimhilde)
Gunther (baritone)
Gutrune (soprano)

Hagen, Alberich's son (tenor)
Alberich (baritone)

Waltraute (mezzo-soprano)

Woglinde (soprano)
Wellgunde (mezzo-soprano)
Floßhilde/Flosshilde (contralto)

The plot thus far:
(Das Rheingold): Alberich, king of the Nibelung dwarf race, stole the all-powerful Rhinegold and forged a Ring from it. After the gods forced him to give up both the Ring and the Tarnhelm (a magic helmet), Alberich got even by cursing the Ring. The one who possesses the Ring will be obsessed with protecting it, while those not possessing the Ring will be overcome with jealousy and envy. The gods, not being immune to this curse, had to give away the Ring to avoid destroying themselves, so Wotan gave the Ring and Tarnhelm to the giant Fafner, who in turn used the power of the Tarnhelm to transform himself into a dragon to protect the Ring.

(Die Walküre): Wotan then fathered the nine Valkyries, as well as the mortal twins Siegmund and Sieglinde. After being separated since early childhood, Siegmund and Sieglinde met and fell in love. Sieglinde, however, was married to the cruel Hunding. Siegmund planned to take Sieglinde away, and Wotan planned to send his Valkyrie daughter Brünnhilde to help Siegmund fight. Unfortunately, he had an obligation to uphold Hunding's marriage rights, so he instructed Brünnhilde to help Hunding in the fight. Brünnhilde went with the original plan and helped Siegmund, so Wotan had to step in to ensure Hunding's victory. Hunding killed Siegmund, Wotan killed Hunding, and then Wotan realized that he had to punish Brünnhilde for going against him. Wotan made Brünnhilde a mortal woman and placed her on a rock surrounded by a ring of fire. Any hero brave enough to step through the flames would be able to claim Brünnhilde as his wife.

(Siegfried): Sieglinde and Siegmund's brief time together led to the conception and birth of a son, Siegfried. Sieglinde died in childbirth, so Siegfried was raised by Mime, Alberich's brother. Mime, every bit as power-hungry as his brother, used Siegfried to get past the dragon Fafner and retrieve the Ring for him. After slaying the great dragon, Siegfried found that he could hear Mime's thoughts – Mime planned to kill him. Siegfried killed Mime, took the Ring, and then headed for Brünnhilde's rock. He got through the flames and awakened Brünnhilde, whom he has now claimed as his bride.

So, Siegfried, you slayed the dragon and got the girl... what are you going to do now?

As the opera opens, the three Norns weave the rope of destiny, the rope that controls the future of the world. As they work, they discuss previous events, specifically those relating to Wotan, the Ring, and the Ring’s past. Suddenly, the rope breaks, and the Norns become distraught. They know that their time has run out, so they return to Erda, the earth goddess. As the Norns vanish, Siegfried and Brünnhilde come into view. Siegfried is preparing to go out into the world to perform heroic deeds, but first, he gives Brünnhilde the Ring as a symbol of his love for her. Brünnhilde gives her horse to Siegfried, and he starts his descent from Brünnhilde's rock.

Act I
Act I opens in the Hall of the Gibichungs, a familial tribe ruled by Gunther and his sister Gutrune. Their half-brother Hagen (a son of Alberich) joins them. Gunther may rule the tribe, but he admits that Hagen is wiser than he is. Gunther wants reassurance from Hagen that he has ruled the Gibichungs well, but Hagen points out that Gunther doesn’t have a wife, and Gutrune doesn't have a husband - no spouse means no heir. After Gunther asks what he and his sister could do, Hagen tells them about a great hero, Siegfried, and a beautiful woman, Brünnhilde. Hagen hatches a scheme: they will give Siegfried a potion that will make him forget about any other woman that he might love, and will become devoted to Gutrune. They will then enlist his help in retrieving Brünnhilde from her rock. Gunther will marry Brünnhilde, Gutrune will marry Siegfried, and everyone will be happy.

Meanwhile, Siegfried's journeys have brought him to the Gibichung realm. Gunther greets the hero, offering friendship, land, and his inheritance to the newcomer. Siegfried replies that he can't offer anything other than his sword, but Hagen is quick to remind him that he controls the legendary Nibelung treasure. Hagen tells Siegfried about the Tarnhelm's magic, explaining that it can transport the wearer from place to place, and will allow the wearer to become any form he wishes. At this point, Gutrune returns with the love potion for Siegfried. She offers it as a drink of welcome, and it has the desired effect on Siegfried almost immediately. He professes his love for Gutrune, who, feigning confusion and modesty, leaves the hall. Gunther tells Siegfried that he can marry Gutrune if he'll help Gunther win Brünnhilde. Siegfried, now unable to remember Brünnhilde, agrees to help. He'll use the Tarnhelm to take Gunther's form, and will then pass through the flames to get Brünnhilde. Gunther and Siegfried make a blood oath of brotherhood, and then set off for Brünnhilde's rock, leaving Gutrune to dream of her impending nuptials. Hagen, however, imagines what he will do with the Ring once Siegfried gets it back from Brünnhilde.

Brünnhilde, unaware of what has happened below, thinks about Siegfried. Suddenly, she hears her sister Waltraute approaching. Waltraute is not the bearer of good news; after Siegfried broke his spear, Wotan ordered that the tree of life be cut down, and that the logs from it be piled around Valhalla. The only hope for the gods is for Brünnhilde to return the Ring to the Rhinemaidens. Brünnhilde refuses to do this, since the Ring is a symbol of Siegfried's love for her, a love that means more to her than the fates of the gods.

As Brünnhilde watches the flames that protect her, Siegfried suddenly bursts through them in the form of Gunther. Siegfried/Gunther declares that Brünnhilde must come with him since he has passed through the ring of fire to claim her. Brünnhilde, not recognizing Siegfried through his disguise, threatens him with the power of the Ring. Not impressed by the threat, Siegfried/Gunther pulls the Ring from her finger as Brünnhilde realizes her defeat. The two head into the nearby cave for the night; Siegfried says that he will keep his sword between himself and Brünnhilde all night, since he has sworn an oath of brotherhood with Gunther.

Act II
Elsewhere, Hagen sleeps. A vision of his father Alberich appears and tells Hagen the story of how Wotan stole the Ring. Through his son, Alberich hopes to avenge himself by retrieving the Ring, a task that Hagen swears to complete. As the morning dawns, Siegfried enters, having used the Tarnhelm to transport himself back instantly. Hagen calls for Gutrune, and Siegfried then tells them both how he passed through the flames surrounding Brünnhilde – his love for Gutrune gave him great strength. Gutrune wants to hear more about Siegfried's great success, but his answers to her questions are confusing. He says that Brünnhilde submitted to Gunther, who he was posing as, but that he also remained with Gutrune. As Brünnhilde and Gunther's boat approaches, Hagen calls together the Gibichungs, telling them to prepare for the arrival of Gunther and his bride. He instructs them to be loyal to Brünnhilde, and to avenge her should she be wronged.

Brünnhilde enters the hall with Gunther, and is shocked to find Siegfried there. She asks who Gutrune is, and Siegfried replies that she is his wife. Noticing the Ring on Siegfried's finger, she asks how he could have gotten it; "Gunther" had stolen it from her the night before. Gunther, of course, knows nothing about this, and Siegfried is unable to reveal the truth because of his oath with Gunther. Hagen, meanwhile, is moving through the crowd of Gibichung subjects, telling them to remember Brünnhilde's claims against Siegfried. General confusion reigns. Brünnhilde accuses Siegfried of breaking his marriage vows, but he doesn't realize that she's referring to his vows with her, not those he has taken with Gutrune. Siegfried denies having broken his vows, saying that he wouldn't have endangered his blood oath with Gunther. Siegfried takes Gunther aside and tells him to give Brünnhilde time to calm down, since it's possible that he wasn't completely disguised by the Tarnhelm.

After Siegfried leaves, Hagen offers to kill Siegfried for Brünnhilde, but she knows that he would fail without help. She then reveals the secret to killing Siegfried: he is protected by magic, but his back isn't protected because he wouldn't turn his back on an enemy. If Siegfried were to be wounded in the back, he would be vulnerable. Gunther, unsure of plotting against Siegfried, wavers until Hagen reminds him of the Ring's great power. They agree to hide their plan from Gutrune, and will instead tell her that a boar killed Siegfried during a hunt. The two couples then make their way to the altar to be married.

As Siegfried's horn call approaches, the three Rhinemaidens swim about and call for a hero to return their stolen gold. Siegfried enters, slightly lost and with no quarry yet. The Rhinemaidens offer to catch something for him in exchange for the Ring, but he refuses. The Rhinemaidens try flirting with him and warning him of the curse attached to the Ring, but Siegfried says that he would only give up the Ring for love. As the Rhinemaidens swim away, Siegfried is joined by Hagen, Gunther, and a number of Gunther's subjects. Siegfried notices that Gunther is downcast, and tells him the story of Nothung's forging, the subsequent encounter with Fafner, and the advice of the Forest Bird that allowed Siegfried to spoil Mime's plans. Hagen then adds a magic herb to Siegfried's cup of wine, and Siegfried suddenly remembers Brünnhilde. Hagen points out two ravens to Siegfried, and then stabs his spear into his back when he turns. Siegfried, mortally wounded, falls to the ground and remembers his love for Brünnhilde. Genuinely grief-stricken, Gunther cares for Siegfried as he dies. The Gibichungs then lift Siegfried's body on to his shield, and the group begins a somber procession back to the main hall.

Gutrune is beside herself after learning of Siegfried's death. Hagen tells her that a wild boar had killed her husband, but she accuses Gunther of murdering Siegfried. Gunther then reveals that Hagen had killed him, and Hagen admits that it's true. What's more, he wants Siegfried's ring as a reward, but Gunther refuses to indulge him. Hagen and Gunther fight, and Gunther is killed. Hagen then approaches Siegfried's body to remove the Ring, but Siegfried's dead hand rises away from his body. While everyone stares in horror at Siegfried, Brünnhilde enters. The Rhinemaidens have told her what happened, and she then tells Gutrune that Siegfried had been her husband before he even met Gutrune. Gutrune puts the pieces together and is furious with Hagen for having manipulated everyone.

Brünnhilde asks the Gibichungs to construct a funeral pyre for Siegfried. She takes the Ring from Siegfried and puts it on her finger. She plans to ride her horse into Siegfried's burning funeral pyre, and the Rhinemaidens can reclaim their treasure from the ashes. As she dreams of being reunited with Siegfried, Brünnhilde charges into the flames. The fire engulfs the hall, and the Rhine then overflows. Two of the Rhinemaidens pull Hagen under the water with them, as the third triumphantly reclaims the Ring. The fire, meanwhile, has reached Valhalla, consuming the gods and their great home. The time of the gods has ended.

Previous: Siegfried

Phew. Only 14 or so hours later, and the Ring Cycle has come to an end. Wagner's version of Ragnarok is incredibly different from the Norse myth. The actual myth tells of a great war that resulted in the death of most of the gods (see Ragnarok). Wagner's version is more subdued, dealing more with fate and destiny than anything else. After having his spear broken by Siegfried in the previous opera, Wotan resigns himself to the fact that a number of foretold events are coming to pass, all of which will lead to the gods falling out of power. The only way to stop the course of events would be for the Ring to be returned to the Rhinemaidens, but since Siegfried has bested him, Wotan sees no way of getting Siegfried to do this. The Ring's curse has no effect on Siegfried or Brünnhilde; Siegfried willingly gave it to Brünnhilde out of love, and love is the only power strong enough to overcome the Ring. Waaaaaay back in Das Rheingold, Alberich had to renounce love in order to steal the Rhinegold and create the Ring. Here, Brünnhilde returns the Ring by immolating herself. She has known true love; life without Siegfried would be empty, even with the tremendous power that the Ring could bring her. Cyclical, eh?

Musically, Götterdämmerung finds the various leitmotifs introduced in the previous operas being woven together as events near their conclusion. Highlights here include Siegfried's Rhine Journey, Siegfried's Funeral March, and the Finale. Götterdämmerung also contains one of the few choruses of the cycle, as Hagen calls together the Gibichungs to welcome Brünnhilde.

Parallel characters in Norse Mythology:
Siegfried = Sigurd
Brünnhilde = Brynhild
Gunther = Gunnar
Gutrune = Gudrun
Hagen = Guttorm
Alberich = Andvari/Giuki

The mythological basis for the entire Ring Cycle is generally Norse mythology, but the names have been changed to their German equivalents. For more info on the myth behind the Ring Cycle, see Mythological origins of Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle.

The Waffle House is, perhaps, one of the greatest eating establishments ever constructed. It's impossible to quantify a person's preference and I imagine mine is closely related to the fact that I haven't eaten at a Waffle House in nearly ten years. Absence, they say, makes the heart grow fonder and the stomach stronger. You see, there aren't any Waffle Houses in Nevada. There may be none on the entire west coast but to be realistic, I'm really only concerned with the shortage in my immediate vicinity.

Fortunately for me the casino culture in Las Vegas brings many culinary venues into an area that would not normally support them and while this service has not extended to Waffle House or White Castle yet, we do have some adequate replacements. Enter, the Original Pancake House. Featured on FoodTV, this restaurant has all of your normal breakfast goodies and some extras that make the experience worthwhile.

The true specialty of The Original Pancake House is undoubtedly their oven baked dishes. They oven bake pancakes that fluff at the edges and become filled with fresh fruit. By some method that remains mysterious to me they also oven bake omelets and it was one of these that nearly did me in.

I had heard so much about these particular omelets that I decided to deviate from my normal pattern of always buying the same dish at any restaurant. I normally get the bacon waffle at The Original Pancake House. What could be better than a waffle with bacon in it? Such was the question I aimed to resolve, so I ordered the Irish Omelet, advertised as "4 farm fresh eggs oven baked with corned beef hash, onions and cheddar cheese. It sounded delightful and capable of satisfying my meaty desires. Just to be safe I also ordered a side plate of bacon.

After a lengthy wait, our cherubic waitress brought my plate, set it in front of me, and made no sign or word of warning about the dish's temperature. Now, I'm not normally the type of person to lay blame for the withholding of what should be obvious information, and I shall make no exception to that rule this time. In retrospect, that the food was hot should be clear to anyone who's IQ surpasses that of a wet bag of hammers. After all, my fluffy whipped egg dish had just spent fifteen or more minutes basking in the warmth of an oven and was then basted with melted cheese, a product known for its peculiar thermal properties. So, I shall not blame the service industry for my own, nearly fatal error.

In my own defense, I would like to say that I have frequently won chess matches against a wet bag of hammers. Additionally, my meal exhibited none of the traditional visual warning signs of heat. There was no steam and the cheese was not runny but rather appeared crusty and cold where it had once bubbled. I felt no excessive heat, either in the vicinity of the main course or from the plate itself upon which the eggs sat. With the ignorant bravery of a lemming proud to be the leader of the pack, I dug in with gusto and placed a largish portion of the omelet in my tender mouth.

Either I had mistakenly forked a hot coal or Lucifer himself had decided to sublet my palette. Fire had seemingly sprouted between my teeth and in that moment I realized several things within a matter of seconds. One, the baked and browned exterior of the omelet had become an extremely efficient insulator that could potentially revolutionize space vehicle re-entries. B, My mouth was swiftly blistering and I needed to do something fast. Four, I needed to get a smog check on my truck so that I could get the registration renewed. It's strange which memories float to the surface in moments of great suffering and alacrity.

Using the time honored method employed by every idiotic glutton, I maneuvered the offending piece of food with my tongue so that it rested upon my teeth, opened my mouth wide and drew in breath so as to cool the overheated food. Unfortunately for me, a largish piece of my partially chewed egg became detached from its brethren and aided by my desperate breaths, was drawn into my windpipe. I was choking.

With all the dignity of a chatty dentist my companion inquired of me, "What's wrong?" I of course, was unable to reply, but I made several hand gestures that would have won me nothing but cold stares in Pictionary. I continued to chew and choke. Tears filled my vision. Undaunted by my vague gesticulations, my companion continued her litany of interrogatives. "Do you not like it? Why aren't you chewing?" Her string of questions were only interrupted by her laughter, as I'm told I was quite comical by this point.

I suppose I could have simply spit out the bite of egg, and flaming hot cheese, but honestly it hadn't even occurred to me. One simply does not spit out food when in public. I may be many things, but spitting up perfectly good food is simply rude, even if it is killing you. Frequently, miracles have little explanation and this one was no exception. I was able to clear the choking egg without spitting it out, at the same time that the egg in my mouth had cooled enough to complete its mastication and swallow.

I was, understandably, short of breath and after a few sips from my water glass I explained my situation to the young lady laughing across the table from me. The danger had passed and I began to laugh myself, although I was troubled that I had not been privy to a review of my life. It's just as well, as I'm sure it would have distracted me from the very necessary task of preventing my death.

A short time later the waitress returned to refill my coffee and pleasantly inquired, "How is everything?"

My reply was curt, "I damn near died!"

"Okay," she smiled, "let me know if you need anything else."

1985 Western directed by Lawrence Kasden, the director of The Big Chill, Grand Canyon and Wyatt Earp and writer of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The movie starred Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, Kevin Costner, Brian Dennehy, and Jeff Goldblum.

The movie tells the story of four men heading to a town called Silverado. Once there, all four confront their pasts while defending the town against unscrupulous men. The movie marks the first starring role for Costner and includes a small part by John Cleese of Monty Python as the sheriff of a small town.

An excellent movie and well worth the effort to see. Kasden is in his element with a large cast and expertly weaves the story lines to make a wonderful movie. One of my family's 'repeat viewing" movies; it never gets old.

#BLOGTOBER DAY 21: Anticipated albums of 2017

There's still two months to go before the end of the year, but I'm already looking forward to the new music that's going to be released next year.
These ten albums are more than likely to be released at some point in 2017, in release date order (predicted if currently unconfirmed).

'Night People' by You Me At Six - 13/01/17
Image result for you me at six night people
Following the disappointment of 'Cavalier Youth', I'm excited for You Me At Six to return to the rockier sound that made them famous.

'All These Countless Nights' by Deaf Havana - 27/01/17
Image result for all these countless nights
First of all, can we just appreciate how gorgeous this album cover is?! It's been three years since 'Old Souls' was released, and I'm more than ready for the arrival of new Deaf Havana material, especially considering how strong 'Cassiopeia', 'Sing', and 'Trigger' are.

Paramore - February
Image result for paramore 2016
After the departure of Jeremy Davis, Paramore were adamant that they were still a band. Entering the studio with ex-drummer Zac Farro a few months ago, the new Paramore album is almost finished, and I don't think they're going to wait long to release it.

Lower Than Atlantis - March
Image result for lower than atlantis work for it
You could purchase Lower Than Atlantis's new album to gain access to presale tickets for their upcoming tour in March, but other than that there have been no updates: no release date, no title, no cover art. I'm assuming they're going to try to release the album around the headline tour dates, to make it a tour promoting the new album rather than just playing all of their old material again.

All Time Low - April
Image result for all time low 2017 tour uk
On Monday, All Time Low announced a lengthy UK tour in March. They've already been vocal about the fact that they're recording the follow up to 'Future Hearts', so I'd expect new music to be premiered just before this tour, with the album following it quite closely.

Sleeping With Sirens - July
Image result for sleeping with sirens 2016
Sleeping With Sirens have also been unafraid to talk about their recording schedule, and it seems as though work on the album that will follow last year's 'Madness' is going brilliantly. I don't think they're going to waste any time getting their fifth album unleashed on the world.

Mallory Knox - July
Image result for mallory knox
Mallory Knox released 'Signals' in 2013 and 'Asymmetry' in 2014, but everything's gone a bit quiet recently. Releasing an album in time to come back with a triumphant set at Reading festival would be a perfect way to launch the band into their eighth year as a band.

PVRIS - September
Image result for pvris
I'm crossing my fingers that this album will be released earlier than September, because I know for a fact that PVRIS have been working on their sophomore album since releasing 'White Noise' and entered the studio in autumn.

twenty one pilots - October
Image result for twenty one pilots
After the success of 'Blurryface', Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun really deserve to take a break. They've been working their asses off, jumping from one headline tour into the next, peppering their rare breaks with festival and television appearances. But I can't imagine these two know what time off looks like, and I bet their fourth album is already being steadily worked upon behind the scenes.

30 Seconds To Mars - November
Image result for 30 seconds to mars
Jared Leto's finally got some time off now he's finished filming 'Suicide Squad' (just kidding, his IMDb page is stuffed with new projects) so it wasn't too surprising when he started posting pictures from the recording studio a couple of weeks ago. It looks like 2017 might be the year that we finally get a new 30 Seconds To Mars album, four years after 'Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams' was released.

If these albums aren't released at some point in 2017 I'll be extremely surprised, so keep an eye out for announcements...

How to Deal with Customer Angst in Social Media Channels

In the previous blog, I discuss the new book and site, Business Model Generation. One fundamental question that the book asks repeatedly is this: How do our Customer Segments want to be reached?

This is a particularly important question to social media marketers because customers are increasingly turning to social media channels for customer support as much as for interaction. On a daily basis we witness our clients’ customers reaching out to Facebook, Twitter and blog comment areas to offer new product ideas, propose business partnerships, and yes, air grievances when traditional customer support channels aren’t responsive enough.

Heads should explode when customers post things in social media logos Facebook like “I see you here every day but you still haven’t fixed my software,” yet these posts go unattended for hours, days and weeks. I think this happens for two primary reasons:

-There’s nobody home. Companies buy into creating a presence on social channels, but still don’t fully understand how much of the communities they build shape their public image.

-There’s somebody home, but they don’t feel that dealing with customers within their job description. Marketers don’t view customer service as core to their job, and they don’t bother contacting someone in the company who is.

What we need to realize is that customers view social channels as fully integrated entities – a direct line to the company’s major decision makers. To some, this may be just a cute delusion. But it shouldn’t be. It should be a wake-up call that companies need to spend less time in traditional channels and look at social as more than just another place to issue press releases.

Exciting news!!! Welcome Reagen!!!

Hi guys!! :D Today is a very exciting day for the Bookish team! We have some BIG news to share and I am totally screaming on the inside from happiness right now!

GET THIS - the fabulous Reagen (who you may know from his fantastic Instagram account @Reagen.Reads) is joining the Bookish Team today! *throws confetti in the air and dances around* We could not be happier to have him!

Reagen will be reviewing books, sharing great discussion posts and features, as well occasionally helping out with the product reviews (he will make an awesome model!). Ray takes amazing photos, I was completely blown away by his Instagram account (which you should totally be stalking BTW!) when I first discovered it. We then got to talking a bit, and even though it hasn't been long since we've connected, I am so in love with his personality! I am positive you will all grow to love Reagen in no time at all! :)

Here's a little bit about Ray in his own words, and also a giveaway I put together to celebrate this exciting event! :)

Please, give a warm welcome to Reagen!!! ^____^

"We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better." J.K. Rowling - Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination. -- a.k.a the Queen.
Hello friend, my name is Reagen Bailey, and if you can't already tell I am a 23 year old, book-loving, crazy Potter-Head. The Harry Potter series gets all of the credit as to where I am today on my Bookish Journey, it gave me the passion all readers have for reading. Since then, I have developed an actual thirst for literature in any way, shape, or form. Be it YA Fantasy, Science-Fiction, Historical Fiction/Non-Fiction, Contemporary, Poetry, anything of the like. So much so that, along side my Political Science major that I am currently engrossed in, I have selected English with a focus on Creative Writing as a minor in College. I believe whole-heartedly that Books hold the power to change not only the course of our every day lives, but the strength to change the World. Our imaginations are boundless, so why keep them locked away in our heads? EXPRESS your creativity, and above all, never give up on anything that gives you a feeling of magic inside.

Reagen's reading preferences:

ANYTHING Fantasy based, such as works from Sarah J Maas, Victoria Aveyard, A Song of Ice and Fire, etc. Science Fiction is a huge love of mine as well, such as Morning Star by Pierce Brown, the Mistborn Trilogy. I love horror, and a little mix of contemporary every now and then.

Check out Ray's fabulous Instagram account HERE

- 2x book of choice from either Amazon or Book Depository!
- 2x bookish mug of choice from my Society6 store!
Ends: January 15th

First In Math Helps School District of Philadelphia Students Trend Upward in Math Eight years in a Row

According to the PA and the US Department of Education, The School District of Philadelphia experienced an outstanding 37.4 percentage-point increase in math scores since implementing the program in 2003.

Scientific-Based Research Study conducted by WestEd: Evaluation of the First In Math® Online Mathematics Program

Education industry giant WestEd recently completed a scientific-based research study on the First In Math (FIM) Program in the National City School District in San Diego County. The evaluation involved 2,412 students in grades 3 through 6 and focused primarily on the impact of the FIM program on student achievement. The evaluation studied if the amount of time students spent on FIM affected their mathematics skills, and if participation in FIM had a positive effect on students' attitudes.

Hapless hackers: But for an 'a'

Stacks of Stones  (by Audrius Meskauskas)
The Bible has plenty to say about the importance of choosing words carefully. Quotes such as “He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles” (Proverbs 21:23) certainly get that point across.

Criminals might be a lot better off if they heeded this, and other, biblical advice.  Some bank hackers recently tripped themselves up by misspelling the word “foundation.”  In substituting an “a” for the first “o,” they did themselves out of an extra billion.

This isn’t to say that people should improve their spelling in order to become better thieves. Yet it illustrates how words, and even individual letters, can make or break a situation.

So weigh those words carefully.  Sticks and stones may break your bones, but stacks and stones could be downright deadly.

BnB Oct 20 – 26 2008
20k from GMA, wanna bet?

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, currently the subject of an impeachment complaint, despite allegations of massive corruption by the opposition and the civil society is known for her generosity towards any of our compatriot who shines in their field of excellence.

We see front page photos, banner stories in print and broadcast media of our head of state presenting gifts of the Republic on many occasions to Manny Pacman Pacquiao and many other Filipinos who has brought honor and glory to the Philippines. I remember seeing many other athletes who shone in Asian tilts receiving hundreds of thousands if not a million from the President.

If I am not mistaken, Pacman got a million pesos each after vanquishing Barrera twice, Morales thrice and Marquez and lately, Diaz.

Willy Wang produced the only gold in the Beijing 2008 Wushu Tournament and got a million peso reward from the Philippine government.

Not one took a jab on the President. Some even says a million is not enough for bringing out into the world the best in the Filipinos.

Truly deserving the cash rewards. Their victories not only heighten the Filipino spirit but has produced heroes our country direly needs under the circumstances.

But how do we understand the case of 12 year-old Catherine “Kat” Loria who won as Junior Vocalist and Grand Champion of World Championship of Performing Arts 2008 (WCOPA)?

The poor young talented girl from Tiaong Quezon brought immeasurable honor to this country when she bested the best talents from over 40 countries worldwide.

Being at the competition in Los Angeles, California itself was a rare feat for Kat. Where it not for Quezon Gov Raffy Nantes who shared out of his pocket, crisp bills amounting to 100,000 pesos for airfare and pocket money, she would not be able to compete.

The municipal government of Tiaong did not pork out a single cent but managed to put up a 2ft x 4ft tarp streamer infront of the town hall building. Nothing more.

When Kat went home tucking the trophy in hand, no one from the officialdom; local or national bothered to welcome her. As if the WCOPA grand champion title has no value at all whereas high officials who robs (spelled love ) this country are showered with garlands at the airport and holds press con at the initiative of the NAIA executives.

At the invitation of the President for some sort of reception, ala Pacman, Kat went to see GMA in mid-August at Malacanan on a borrowed van.

Noel and Evelyn, the grand champs’ parent who escorted Kat to the Palace was shocked to see in the program for the night that it was PGMA who financed Kat’s trip to Los Angeles. For obvious reason, President Gloria did not share even a penny and it was only Nantes who provided fare and pocket money to the young girl.

The mother has to stress to a Palace employee that there is no basis for the Malacanan claim as printed in the program in fairness to the man who they fear may be around then and slighted by the false statement. It’s good, the Palace got their point.

Then, at the end of the program, Carlos Osorio, who co-managed Kat handed out to Noel 20,000 pesos. The amount according to Osorio is the reward given by President Arroyo to the World Champion Kat.

Being a newcomer in the entertainment industry and one who has to borrow money just to go to Malacanan, 20,000 bucks is good money enough. Noel even asked Osorio to take his share but refused saying they’re taken cared of already.

Did President Arroyo gave only 20,000 via Osorio’s hand?

I am sort of wondering whether the President really handed out only 20k to Kat because that is not the Gloria I know when it comes to recognizing excellent talents by any Filipino in whatever field of endeavor.

I wouldn’t be wrong that most Filipinos common belief is that PGMA usually rewards outstanding performers; be it in boxing or not with a million pesos. Not 20k o something less than 1-M for sure.

To me, first, the President gave more than that and perhaps a million pesos for Kat. Why only 20k reached her is a question only the Palace can answer and confirm whether nothing more than that was shared by the President. Second, Kat deserve more than what Osorio handed her that night.

Press Secretary Jess Dureza, known for his uprightness, would know perhaps the real score on the cash rewards and we would appreciate hearing from the good secretary
whether Kat, the World Champ was shortchanged or not. 20K cash reward from GMA, wanna bet?

This month of October, The Weekly Marinduque (TWM) turns 1 year old.

TWM has since its first issue a year ago was able to fulfill the commitment of coming out with fair, truthful and relevant newspaper for all. Being the only regular weekly newspaper of Marinduquenos, it has withstood the test of time both in terms of content and financial integrity.

Some publications attempted to breakthrough but vainly made to come out regularly and most Marinduquenos including those in government and the private sector appreciate what the publisher and editors, contributors and staffers had to go through to keep goin with heads up.

Marinduquenos are really nice people and we are grateful for their valuable support. Without them, TWM may probably be out of circulation already.

Correctly, no genuine publication would earn the trust of readers if it is partial to an individual or vested groups interest, whether politically or economically.

The reason why we don’t seriously consider prominent individuals, politicians and officials’ offer or promises of these and that, in support of our endeavor to keep the people informed and educated on the real score obtaining in and out of the island province.

We are fully aware at TWM from the very start that politicians PROMISE/S are generally NOTHING but HOT AIR. It is like a check issued but returned by the bank due to non-availability of funds.

Newspaper publishing is probably the most difficult enterprise in the world. More demanding than hospital care and services. It knows no holidays, good or bed weather and illness are no reason by which to justify absence in circulation at any given week for that matter.

Hospitals can refuse patients and direct them to other medical centers. Publications cant do that or asked somebody else to do it for us. Issues have to be out regularly hook or crook.

Some individuals thought it is peanuts to run a paper. Perhaps on the first and second issues and that has been the case for most who tried it out.

On this opportune time, we would like to thank our readers, advertisers, editors, contributors, columnists and staffers and all of you guys out there for your valuable and immeasurable support which smoothened the rocky road and lightened the pain of venturing into publications.

A year of The Weekly Marinduque, ang pahayagan ng Marinduqueno is glorious enough. Surely, we’ll keep the bar up for you, our boss, you dear readers.

He Unfolds a Rose

I use a rose in my doll art logo because it reminded me of the great beauty that God has created. I loved roses. They are very delicate but yet the thorns that protected them are so strong. It reminds me of the strength God has given us to endure pain. As women we bear children and endure a pain that is soon forgotten after that child is born. It reminds me of my struggle to create art. I make mistakes which add frustrations when I try to use a new painting medium or recently a carving knife. A month ago I started learning how to carve a doll in wood. Carving is such a labor intensive craft without the right tools. Still with the right tools there is a learning curve that must be mastered but not without causing pain. Will ever understand how wood reacts to carving knives? How am I going to get a face to develop in block of wood? God works through me to create anything. It will take patience and time to develop this new skill. So I remember the rose. . .it doesn't open by itself God is directing it. He will direct me and guide my hands in the right time. He will lead me to the right tools and how to use them. He led me to a carving group on Yahoo. Many of the artists are very willing to share tips and info. I love how God can open doors at just the right time. I love this poem. I hope anyone who reads this blog will be blessing by its message.

It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design,
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I,
The flower God opens so sweetly,
In my hands would fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust Him for His leading
Each moment of every day
And I'll look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

For the pathway that lies before me
My heavenly Father knows
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments
Just as He unfolds the rose.

Carla is FINALLY completed

I worked on Carla for over a year. I wasn't working on her a year but she sat in my studio. . . . while I altered prom and wedding dresses and who know how many jeans and hunting jacket zippers I replaced while Carla patiently waited for clothing. It took me a long time to photography her. Believe it or not I took TWO photography classes and still feel flustrated taking photos. Oh well I am not a photographer but I present to you Carla Goodnews in her red shoes!

Carla Goodnews wears her pretty red shoes and she is an Izannah Walker inspired doll.

Carla is a OOAK cloth doll with a paper clay head that was painted in watercolor painted as well as her lower arms, lower legs and buttoned red strap shoes.

She has painted corkscrew curls in front of each exposed ear and short curls framing the back of the head, and bulging painted eyes and painted mouth with hint of a smile.

Carla wears an vintage style off-the-shoulder blue printed cotton dress, cotton batiste under garments, and crocheted bonnet.

She has a gusset weighted bottom so she will sit nicely on a chair or wall shelf without a doll stand.

She has a body covering made from cotton ticking.

I am thrilled to offer this wonderful hand crafted doll who needs a loving home.

She will be a wonderful addition to any primitive doll collection
25 inch tall.

Tip Thursday: Layer Acne Meds

My skin has not been treating me so nicely this summer.  I've had breakout after breakout, and I've been finding the best way to treat these annoying spots is to layer acne treatments on the zits before going to sleep.  I use this store brand benzoyl peroxide gel covered with a dab of Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask.  I don't know if the Queen Helene's mask even reaches the breakout because of the salicylic acid, but it appears to be working to dry out these suckers even quicker.

What's your favorite tip or product to treat acne?

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

A brand new initiative launched in Fairfax County Public Library on November 1st, 2016: 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. This is a nationwide program that Fairfax Library Foundation is proud to help bring to our community. Sign-up in your library branch today!

1kbbk-proud-supporterSupport this important initiative!

A $25 donation funds the participation of 10 or more children in the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative. A small gift has a big impact: Donate now!

When you donate and designate your gift to 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, we’ll send you this window decal to show the community that you’re a proud supporter!

Why 1,000 Books

Studies show that children perform better in school throughout their education if they’ve started developing pre-reading skills before starting kindergarten. And reading aloud to children is important in fostering those reading and vocabulary skills—even starting as early as birth! Our goal in bringing this program to our community is to help parents and caregivers prepare children for kindergarten with these great tools for tracking books read and motivating young readers.

From the library, here are 5 Reasons to Read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten!

The 1,000 Books kick-off video:

How 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Works

From the Fairfax County Public Library 1,000 Books Page:

  1. Any child who hasn’t entered kindergarten yet is eligible for the program, including infants.
  2. Once your child has heard 25 books, sign him or her up at any Fairfax County Public Library branch and receive a packet of information with reading logs.
  3. Track your reading! At the following milestones, return to any Fairfax County Public Library branch to receive a prize: 100 Books  |  250 Books  |  500 Books  |  750 Books  |  1,000 Books

The goal is for your child to read or be read 1,000 books before he or she enters kindergarten. Reading unique titles or a child’s favorite book multiple times all count toward the 1,000 goal—we know children like repetition. Hearing books at storytimes also counts to the 1,000 book goal.

The library has excellent early literacy resources for preschoolers including book suggestions and an early literacy newsletter.

There’s an App for that!

The national 1,000 Books program offers a FREE  mobile app.  You can easily track the books read with a quick scan of the barcode.

Fairfax Library Foundation is a 1,000 Books Sponsor

Fairfax Library Foundation is proud to sponsor this initiative in Fairfax County, along with the Friends of the Library Groups. Contributions to the Foundation have already funded $34,000 in materials and milestone prizes—and we’re going to need more funds! Even before the launch date, we’ve had so much interest in the program we know we’re going to need raise more money. We want to make sure every child has a chance to participate and experience the rewards of reading. If you are interested in donating to this program, go to our donation page and write “for 1,000 Books” in the comments or write the same in the memo line of a check. If you are interested in being a sponsor of the program, please learn more on our sponsor page.

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative aligns perfectly with the goals of the Foundation: to enhance Fairfax County Public Library. The largest program we currently support is Ready to Read Early Literacy Outreach, which also promotes pre-reading skills. Ready to Read sends trained staff and volunteers to Head Start and other preschool classrooms to do monthly storytimes, and provides children with picture books to take home and keep. We giveaway nearly 30,000 books each year, and these are often the only books in the child’s home.

Head to the library!

We hope you will head to the library to sign up the young children in your life. And maybe it will inspire us grown-ups to pick up an extra book, too.
