    Southwest Popular/American Culture Association 40th Annual Conference February 20-23, 2019 — Albuquerque, New Mexico Welcome & 2019 Southwest Popular/American General Info Culture Association Conference ¡Bienvenidos a Albuquerque! We are so pleased to have you with us this week! In 1979, Michael Schoenecke and Peter Rollins began an adventure, founding the Southwest/Texas Popular/American Culture Association and establishing the annual meeting, an event which has continued for forty years and brings us all together this week in Albuquerque. In these decades, thousands of scholars have joined their colleagues in the study and celebration of popular culture, some as first-time conference-goers, others as established scholars in their respective fields. All have contributed to the strength of this conference and organization, and we are honored to have you with us as we celebrate this milestone. This week, we will be reflecting on the foundations upon which the organization, and popular culture studies more broadly, were founded, and we will be looking ahead to the future of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association, which we trust will be equally long and successful. Please join us Thursday evening at 6:00pm (Grand Pavilion VI) at the annual Peter C. Rollins Book Award and Student Awards Ceremony, where long-time members of the association will share their thoughts on the state of popular culture studies and where we will recognize the next generation of scholars and their work. We are additionally pleased to welcome Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness and the recently-released Deep Creek, among other works, as our conference Keynote speaker, Friday at 7:00pm, following our annual Fire and Ice Reception/40th Anniversary Celebration in Grand Pavilion IV-VI.

    Robert Leatherman's camera provides a Costa's Hummingbirds scene seldom witnessed by the naked eye: the frozen action of a hummingbird. The photograph, first-prize winner in this month's contest, is two-and-a-half times life size. It was taken on a May afternoon in a desert wash east of the photogra- pher's San Bernardino, California, home. This mother Costa's is greenish above; the under-body is white. It is nearly impossible to distinguish between this bird and the female black-chinned hum- mingbird in the field. PHOTO CONTEST: you are invited to enter desert-subject photographs (black and white, 5x7 or larger) in Desert's contest. One entry will be selected each month, and a $10 cash prire awarded to the photographer. All other entries will be returned— provided postage is enclosed. Time and place of photograph are immaterial—except that the photo must be of a Desert South- west subject. For non-winning pictures accepted for publication, $3 each will be paid. Address all entries to: Photo Contest, Desert Magazine, Palm Desert, California. Publisher's Notes • • • It is not easy to get lost when you have a map to follow. But last month two of our maps got lost—somewhere in Mexico—trying to find our cartographer, Norton Allen.

Korn – Discography (1994 – 2014) EAC Rip | 19xCD + 4xDVD | FLAC Image & Tracks + Cue + Log | Full Scans included Total Size: 11.2 GB | 3% RAR Recovery STUDIO ALBUMS | LIVE ALBUMS | COMPILATION | EP Label: Various | Genre: Alternative Rock, Nu Metal. Korn’s cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, California-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy Snuts” Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP in 1993, the members of LAPD crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself Korn. After signing to Epic’s Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose in the charts, eventually going gold. Its 1996 follow- up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer, they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines when a student in Zeeland, Michigan, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the group’s logo (the school’s principal later declared their music “indecent, vulgar, and obscene,” prompting the band to issue a cease-and-desist order).

    THE VAN DEVENTER FAMILY THE VANDEVENTER FAMILY Dedicated to the Memory of MR. WILLIS VAN DEVANTER Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Compiled by CHRISTOBELLE VAN DEVENTER Pres8 of E. \V. STEPHENS COMPANY Columbia, Missouri 1943 COPYRIGHT, 1943 BY CHRISTOBELLE VAN DEVENTER PREFACE Mr. Justice Willis Van Devanter had a keen interest in the genealogy of the family, and pursued it with characteristic thoroughness, devoting much time and effort to the collection of data. It was his purpose to publish and preserve the material, but unfortunately this purpose was not accomplished. He extended his research to the Netherlands and had made several visits there. A genealogist, recommended by the Archivist in the City of Utrecht, was engaged to trace the family, and succeeded in extending the line of descent to the great grandfather of Jan Pietersz van Deventer, the first American ancestor. The very thorough research made by Mr. Charles 0. Van­ devanter of the original records in all states where the early ramily had been located, has added materially to the value of this work. Much family data was supplied by various descend­ ant families. One of the first to undertake research, at a time when the subject was whol)y undeveloped, was Mr. Charles H. Van Deventer, of New York. Mr. James Thayer Van Deventer and three of his sons have contributed valuable records. Mr. Paul M. Chamberlain devoted considerable time to research. These records have all been made available and have been incorporated into this work. A considerable portion of the text is based upon original records and numerous recognized authorities.
