  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013
    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

    Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Action Plan 3-1 Action Plan Introduction The Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (Plan) is a visionary document that provides a clear path on how Perry County can continue to provide and expand recreation resources and opportunities in the County. To ensure the Plan meets the needs and expectations of the residents of the County, the planning process and strategy development was very open to the public. A total of six public participation meetings were conducted, three at frontend of the project to listen to the public, and three at the backend to present the recommendations and achieve a level of public support that would allow the plan to be easily adopted and implemented by the Board of Commissioners. In addition to those public participation meetings, a total of fifty (50) key stakeholders were identified and interviewed on various topics, including Water Resources, Land Resources, Conservation, Regulatory, Funding, People, Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. A summary of the key stakeholder interviews and input from the public participation meetings is provided in the Plan. In addition to those interviews and meetings, a committee of fifty individuals (Committee) was created to provide additional input and guidance on the Plan, and a core committee of seven individuals was created from the full committee to oversee the month to month activities. Plan concepts, strategies, and recommendations were all ran through the core committee before receiving final approval by the full committee.

  • TVT Records Release Be Cool Movie Soundtrack
    TVT Records Release Be Cool Movie Soundtrack Written by Robert ID892 Wednesday, 16 February 2005 07:22 - A sequel to the hit Get Shorty, Be Cool finds Chili Palmer (John Travolta) abandoning the movie business and teaming up with his longtime friend (Uma Thurman) to tackle the music industry. The female lead character named Linda Moon (recording artist Christina Milian) is at the end of her rope, stuck in a cheesy all-girl cover group called “Chicks International” (a Destiny’s Child wannabe) performing covers ala “Lady Marmalade” at the Viper Room. She also has mafioso type manager (Vince Vaughn), thug body guard (The Rock) and record company head (Harvey Keitel). When Linda meets Chili he breaks her away from her shifty management and cover group to write and record her own songs and of course becomes a huge, legitimate superstar. The story ends with her performing at the Grammys. The soundtrack features two brand new songs from Christina Milian – one written by Alicia Keys and Rich Harrison (producer of “Crazy In Love”), and one co-written by Will.I.Am from the hip-hop/rap group The Black Eyed Peas. Directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Negotiator, A Man Apart, The Italian Job), Be Cool also stars Cedric The Entertainer, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, Andre 3000 from Outkast, Debi Mazar, Danny Devito, Robert Pastroelli, Anthony Ribustello, Alex Kubik and Kimberly Brown.

Justified's ancestorBy D. SchwentBootlegger Son Martin has 150 barrels of whiskey his dad made stashed away somewhere and his old war buddy, Frank Long, now a crooked prohibition agent, has his sights set on them. Will Son cave in under the pressure and hand over the whiskey or will he put Long and his cronies into the ground?Reading an Elmore Leonard book is like drinking a few cold ones with an old friend on their front porch. In this case, it would be whiskey we'd be drinking instead of a couple frosty beers.Rural Kentucky in the 1930's is far from Elmore Leonard's usual haunts but after watching several seasons of Justified, I figured he could handle it. I was right.The Moonshine War plays out like a lot of Elmore Leonard books. The promise of violence keeps building until the glorious shootout at the end. Frank Long trying to strongarm Son Martin out of his valuable whiskey is more of the same.

  • A Piece of History
    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.

  • Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C
    Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C. Bruggeman College of William and Mary John Watson must have been quite content by the summer of 1870. Though he never learned to read or write, Watson retired at the age of sixty with a wife, five children, and the satisfaction of being one of the wealthiest residents in his community. Thirty-eight years before, Watson and his new wife, Sybella, left Reading, Pennsylvania, to begin a new life in not-so-distant Middletown. Why the newlyweds chose Middletown as their destination is unknown, but the town's dramatic growth and economic success is one possible reason. Though the oldest town in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Middletown did not achieve its full potential until the mid-nineteenth century. First incorporated as a borough in 1828 and then merged with neighboring Portsmouth in 1857, one unique feature made Middletown especially fertile for growth: the junction of the Pennsylvania and Union Canals. Even prior to the canals' construction Middletown proved a significant trade center. Built near the junction of the Swatara Creek and Susquehanna River, Middletown received southbound arks and canoes laden with grain from northern farmland intended for sale in Lancaster and Philadelphia. Middletown's grain trade flourished even before the arrival of canal travel. One hundred and fifty thousand bushels of wheat traveled through Middletown in 1790 en route to Philadelphia.' This number jumped to 180,000 in 1795 and skyrocketed to 800,000 in 1824. Further internal development accompanied increased water traffic. By 1870, Middletown boasted nearly three thousand residents, eight churches, and a variety of business facilities "not surpassed by any other town in Dauphin County, or of like population in the State."2 It is, therefore, no wonder that John and Sybella foresaw potential economic opportunities awaiting them in the riverside town.3 Their expectation was, indeed, correct.

  • The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia
    The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia by Sandra C Zichermann A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Sociology in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Sandra C Zichermann 2013 The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia Sandra C Zichermann Doctor of Education Sociology in Education University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis investigates the rise of the cultures and music of hip-hop and rap in the West and its effects on its female listeners and fans, especially those in academia. The thesis consists of two parts. First I conducted a content analysis of 95 lyrics from the book, Hip-Hop & Rap: Complete Lyrics for 175 Songs (Spence, 2003). The songs I analyzed were performed by male artists whose lyrics repeated misogynist and sexist messages. Second, I conducted a focus group with young female university students who self-identify as fans of hip-hop and/or rap music. In consultation with my former thesis supervisor, I selected women enrolled in interdisciplinary programmes focused on gender and race because they are equipped with an academic understanding of the potential damage or negative effects of anti-female or negative political messaging in popular music. My study suggests that the impact of hip-hop and rap music on young women is both positive and negative, creating an overarching feeling of complexity for some young female listeners who enjoy music that is infused with some lyrical messages they revile.

  • Outkast'd and Claimin' True
    OUTKAST’D AND CLAIMIN’ TRUE: THE LANGUAGE OF SCHOOLING AND EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN HIP­HOP COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE by JOYCELYN A. WILSON (Under the direction of Judith Preissle) ABSTRACT The hip­hop community of practice encompasses a range of aesthetic values, norms, patterns, and traditions. Because of its growth over the last three decades, the community has come to include regionally­specific networks linked together by community members who engage in meaningful practices and experiences. Expressed through common language ideologies, these practices contribute to the members’ communal and individual identity while simultaneously providing platforms to articulate social understandings. Using the constructs of community of practice and social networks, this research project is an interpretive study grounded primarily in the use of lyrics and interviews to investigate the linguistic patterns and language norms of hip­ hop’s southern network, placing emphasis on the Atlanta, Georgia southern hip­hop network. The two main goals are to gain an understanding of the role of school in the cultivation of the network and identify the network’s relationship to schooling and education. The purpose is to identify initial steps for implementing a hip­hop pedagogy in curriculum and instruction.
