The residents of the valley thought that a Kona wind had brought in that rot- ten smell from the mangroves and mud flats of the coastal area, and they waited impatiently for another wind to take the smell away. As Leimomi Vargas said succinctly, “Jus’ like old Jacob wen fut and dah fut jus’ stayin’ around.” And stay around it did, for weeks. There seemed no end. The residents prayed for that new wind to blow the obstinate smell away, but no wind came and the air became stagnant and more foul as if the valley were next to an ancient cesspool that had suddenly ruptured after centuries of accumulations. The mal- odor permeated the wood of the houses, it tainted the fresh clothes hung to dry, and it entered the pores of everyone, making young and old smell bad even after a good scrubbing. The love lives of the residents became nonexistent. “We gotta do somet’ing ’bout dis hauna,” Joseph Correa complained. The retired sewers worker from the City and County sat on a chair under the eaves of an old abandoned store that fronted the main road. “Yeah, but what?” said Bobby Ignacio. He turned his gaunt, expressionless face towards Correa, then returned to his meditation of birds eating the ripened fruits of a lichee tree across the road. “You know, Bobby,” Correa said in a voice shaded ominously, “I betchu dah gov’ment is behind all dis. Look how long dis hauna stay heah. Long time al- ready. If was jus’ one nat’ral t’ing, dah wind already blow ’em away.” Ignacio, a truck farmer up the road in the valley, spat disconsolately into the wild grass growing on the side of the store. “But I tell you dis, Bobby. I betchu one day dah gov’ment goin’ come down heah and dey goin’ brag how dey can take dis hauna away. And den they goin’ take ’em away. But I betchu little while aftah dat, dey goin’ come back and try ask us for do dem one favor. You watch.” Correa nodded his head. “No miss.” The farmer shrugged his narrow shoulders. “But you know what everybody 1 The VALLEY of the DEAD AIR saying?” “Who everybody?” “Everybody.” “So what everybody saying?” “Dey saying old Jacob dah one doing all dis.” The old retiree nervously stretched out his tired legs, his head twitched a few times, then he looked out languidly towards the mango trees across the road. “I nevah had no problems with old Jacob,” Correa said weakly. “I was al- ways good to him. I nevah talk stink ’bout him or anything li’ dat.” The smell persisted, and somehow it infected the rich, famous soil of the val- ley. The earth began to emit a terrible odor of rotten fish. While plowing one corner of his sweet potato field, Tats Sugimura uncovered a hole full of fish scales and fish bones. He didn’t think anything of it until his wife complained to him later how fishy everything smelled. The bad smell of the valley had numbed his nose so Tats couldn’t smell anything worth shit now. His wife, on the other hand, had a super-sensitive nose and she often would sniff the air in her kitchen and know exactly what the Rodriguez family was cooking a quarter of a mile down the road. “Tats, you wen dump some rotten fish around here or what?” she said. Sug- imura shook his head. He wasn’t the talking type, even with his wife. “Den whas dat stink smell?” He thought of telling her about the fish scales and bones, then he thought that perhaps a bunch of stray cats had had a feast in that corner of his field. The fish were probably tilapia or catfish the cats had caught in the nearby stream. But he was tired from working all day under the hot sun and in the stifling humid air and he didn’t have the energy to describe to his wife what he had seen. The fish scales and fish bones were unimportant, and he shrugged his thin, wiry shoulders and said nothing. But something bad was in the soil. When Tats and the other sweet potato farmers began harvesting their produce a few days later, they found abnormally small sweet potatoes, some having the peculiar shape of a penis. “How dah hell we goin’ sell dis kine produce?” complained Earl Fritzhugh, a part-Hawaiian sweet potato farmer. “Dey goin’ laugh at us. So small. And look at dis one. Look like one prick!” “Somet’ing strange goin’ on in dis valley,” said Darryl Mineda, another farmer. “Get dah story goin’ around dat old Jacob doin’ all dis to get back.” “Get back at who?” Fritzhugh asked irately. “At us.” Fritzhugh looked at Mineda incredulously. “At us? Why dat old Hawaiian like get back at us fo’? He wen live by himself. Nobody wen bother him.” Mineda shook his head. “Somebody tol’ me all dah land in dis valley used to 2 The WATCHER of WAIPUNA and Other Stories be his family’s land, long time ago. Den dah Cox family wen come in and take dah land away from his family. Somet’ing ’bout Jacob’s family not paying dah land tax or water tax or somet’ing li’ dat, and dah haole wen pay instead.” “But what got to do with us? I not responsible. Dah haole wen do it. Not me.” Mineda shrugged his shoulders. “Eh, I was good to dah old man,” Fritzhugh said. “I nevah bother him. When he used to go up and down dis road, he nevah said not’ing to me, so I never say not’ing to him.” He paused. “But I wonder who goin’ get his land now he ma-ke. He no mo’ children, eh?” Mineda shrugged his shoulders again. “Maybe das why,” Mineda said.

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Missy Elliott Supa Dupa Fly Torrent Download Supa Dupa Fly
    missy elliott supa dupa fly torrent download Supa Dupa Fly. Arguably the most influential album ever released by a female hip-hop artist, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's debut album, Supa Dupa Fly, is a boundary-shattering postmodern masterpiece. It had a tremendous impact on hip-hop, and an even bigger one on R&B, as its futuristic, nearly experimental style became the de facto sound of urban radio at the close of the millennium. A substantial share of the credit has to go to producer Timbaland, whose lean, digital grooves are packed with unpredictable arrangements and stuttering rhythms that often resemble slowed-down drum'n'bass breakbeats. The results are not only unique, they're nothing short of revolutionary, making Timbaland a hip name to drop in electronica circles as well. For her part, Elliott impresses with her versatility -- she's a singer, a rapper, and an equal songwriting partner, and it's clear from the album's accompanying videos that the space-age aesthetic of the music doesn't just belong to her producer. She's no technical master on the mic; her raps are fairly simple, delivered in the slow purr of a heavy-lidded stoner. Yet they're also full of hilariously surreal free associations that fit the off-kilter sensibility of the music to a tee. Actually, Elliott sings more on Supa Dupa Fly than she does on her subsequent albums, making it her most R&B-oriented effort; she's more unique as a rapper than she is as a singer, but she has a smooth voice and harmonizes well.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.
