Making Music for a Worthy Cause Making music for a worthy cause By: LINDSAY REDDING (Tue, Oct/16/2007) The very diverse group of volunteers from Bucks County running Serenity House and Hospice Support of Doylestown just became even more diverse. The volunteers and board members of Serenity House come from all walks of life. They are doctors, lawyers, homemakers, students, accountants, engineers and entrepreneurs. Now a group of musicians have joined the effort, led by Kevin Mackie, guitarist and singer of the band Think of 3 and partner at East Coast Recording Co. Mackie has recorded a CD to benefit the hospice with the help of generous artists, some local and some international. The artists who donated songs to the album include Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Annie Haslam (Renaissance), Asia, Pat DiNizio (The Smithereens), Robert Hazard, Kathy Sledge (Sister Sledge), Think of 3, The Luck Brothers, Jann Klose and Steve Pullara. Proceeds from the CD will go to Serenity House. The organization already offers in-home hospice care, but is working to build a free-standing hospice as well. “Our goal is to build a residential home that would be available to patients in our community who wish to have a home setting in case their home isn’t an option at this point,” said Carol Lynch, one of the board members. The finished hospice will be in Doylestown and will “resemble a traditional Bucks County home.” In the meantime, residents of Bucks and Eastern Montgomery counties can still receive quality end-of-life care in their own homes. Serenity House held its first training course in February; it now has 12 certified hospice volunteers. These volunteers can do anything non-medical with the patient. Their focus is on providing comfort and support to patients and their families. “We assist with transferring patients to beds, we help with meals, baths, dispense pre-measured medications, support the family, run errands, help with house chores, provide companionship,” said Jena Huttemann, director of volunteers. “We can do a little mix of everything.” Serenity House has been raising funds for years, but when Kevin Mackie heard about the hospice, he approached leaders with his own fundraising idea and has undertaken the effort without requiring help from them. Mackie said that when his grandmother was put into a hospice, “I was astounded by the care that she got there. It was more like a resort than a hospital.” So when he read about Serenity House, he decided to use his recording studio to make a benefit CD for it. Annie Haslam, a musician who lives in Doylestown, not only donated a song to the CD but also made the artwork that is featured on the cover. The painting also is available for sale online, and proceeds benefit the hospice. “Having people out there doing private projects that would support our venture helps us so we can focus on creating the hospice while they’re focusing on raising some funds to support us,” said Lynch. “It was just completely amazing that someone worked so hard to create something that would benefit our hospice.” The CD is available online and at Siren Records in Doylestown. .

By contrast, the big cats can roar but cannot purr, except while exhaling. Cheetah Science Facility Groundbreaking in Front Royal structure of the cheetah’s claws is the same as those of other cats; it simply lacks the sheath of skin and fur present in other varieties, and therefore the claws are always visible. With the exception of the dewclaw, the claw itself is also much shorter and straighter than other cats. Adaptations that enable the cheetah to run as fast as it does include large nostrils that allow for optimal oxygen intake, and an enlarged heart and lungs that work together to circulate oxygen efficiently. During a typical chase its respiratory rate increases from 60 to 50 breaths per minute[5]. While running, in addition to hav- ing good traction due to its semi- retractable claws, the cheetah uses its tail as a rudder-like means of steering to allow it to make sharp turns, necessary to outflank prey who often make such turns to Schuyler Shepherd(Unununium272) escape.

  • Maurizio-Baiata-Gli-Alieni-Mi-Hanno
    Maurizio Baiata Gli alieni mi hanno salvato la vita Verdechiaro Edizioni © 2012 Verdechiaro Edizioni Via Montecchio, 29 42031 Baiso (Reggio Emilia) ISBN 978-88-6623-058-8 Nessuna parte di questa pubblicazione, inclusa l’immagine di copertina, può essere riprodotta in alcuna forma senza l’autorizzazione scritta dell’editore, a eccezione di brevi citazioni destinate alle recensioni. Prefazione alla seconda edizione Quando l’editore mi ha proposto l’idea di una seconda edizione di questo libro a oltre un anno dalla sua prima stesura, ho colto l’occa- sione per rileggerlo. Sono di nuovo emerse le sensazioni e le emo- zioni che mi avevano accompagnato nella scrittura, ma soprattutto la necessità di unire meglio il filo logico di un racconto che poteva essere chiarito, arricchito e completato a beneficio del lettore, con nuovi capitoli e un rinnovato impianto iconografico. Grazie dunque all’editore e a tutti coloro i quali mi hanno sempre sostenuto. Maurizio Baiata 4 Prologo, per mio Fratello di Carlo Barbera La storia di ogni essere umano lascia una traccia indelebile nell’esi- stenza collettiva della nostra razza, un solco inciso nella memoria dell’intero Universo che, annullando il tempo e lo spazio, diviene patrimonio di conoscenza e saggezza condivisa fino alla radice della materia e dell’energia, fino agli elementi fondamentali della vita co- smica. Ogni essere umano è quindi un protagonista dell’universo e, come tale, creatore e distruttore di vita, di realtà e di mondi. La storia di Maurizio Baiata è quella di un protagonista, con la sua energia, le sue idee, le passioni, la lotta, le vittorie e le sconfitte, le delusioni e i successi, le gioie e le sofferenze, l’amore.

  • The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - Updated April 9, 2006
    The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - updated April 9, 2006 compiled by Linda Bangert Please send any additions or corrections to Linda Bangert ([email protected]) and notice of any broken links to Neil Ottenstein ([email protected]). This listing of tour dates, set lists, opening acts, additional musicians was derived from many sources, as noted on each file. Of particular help were "Higher and Higher" magazine and their website at www.moodies- magazine.com and the Moody Blues Official Fan Club (OFC) Newsletters. For a complete listing of people who contributed, click here. Particular thanks go to Neil Ottenstein, who hosts these pages, and to Bob Hardy, who helped me get these pages converted to html. One-off live performances, either of the band as a whole or of individual members, are not included in this listing, but generally can be found in the Moody Blues FAQ in Section 8.7 - What guest appearances have the band members made on albums, television, concerts, music videos or print media? under the sub-headings of "Visual Appearances" or "Charity Appearances". The current version of the FAQ can be found at www.toadmail.com/~notten/FAQ-TOC.htm I've construed "additional musicians" to be those who played on stage in addition to the members of the Moody Blues. Although Patrick Moraz was legally determined to be a contract player, and not a member of the Moody Blues, I have omitted him from the listing of additional musicians for brevity. Moraz toured with the Moody Blues from 1978 through 1990. From 1965-1966 The Moody Blues were Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge, although Warwick left the band sometime in 1966 and was briefly replaced with Rod Clarke.

    You Might Be a Proghole if... ● 1. The word "mellotron" causes a strange tingling in your private parts. ● 2. You refer to Yes' lead singer as "the holy prophet Jon Anderson." ● 3. You blame Phil Collins for "driving Peter Gabriel out of Genesis." ● 4. You love the albums "Invisible Touch," "90125," and "Love Beach", but are ashamed to admit it. ● 5. You actually liked SH's "Not Everybody's Gold." ● 6. You know what a firth is. ​ ​ ● 7. You believe the talent of a drummer is commensurate with the size of his drum set. ● 8. You consider lyrics to be wasted time between solos. ● 9. You go to a King Crimson concert and take notes. ● 10. You look down on any keyboardist who is "not willing" to haul around a real Hammond B3. ​ ​ ● 11. You prefer Bruford to White, noting with knowing condescension that "groove and feel are way overrated." ● 12. You actually like Steve Howe's electric guitar tone. ​ ​ ● 13. Your ménage a trios fantasy involves you, Emerson, and Wakeman. ​ ​ ● 14. You find nothing comical about Robert Fripp, and are willing to kick anybody's ass that does. ● 15. The prefix labels of "Canterbury", "melodic", "symphonic", and "neo" before the word "prog" all simply mean "sucky". ● 16. You've named all the fish in your aquarium the names of past and present Yes members. ● 17. the words to "Close to the Edge" have profound meaning in your life. ● 18. you've done time or community service for striking someone who said, "I love Yes.
