Thank you. 1 Mark Hayden From: Herb Hamilton Sent: Friday, Jan 23, 2015 3:40 PM To: Liquor Licence Email Subject: In support of the transfer of Hush's liquor license To whom it may concern, Hello my name is Herb Hamilton and I'm writing to show support for the transfer of Hush' liquor license. I live in Duncan and we used to drive to Victoria at least three times a month for 15 years to go and dance and listen to great artists play great music in a positive environment. Since Hush has closed it's doors we have not been interested in going out in your great city since we aren't into being around rowdy drunks who cause problems and have no respect for others and the staff. It would also he great to have a venue that is not filled with a bunch of young people who are just out to get wasted and pick up someone for the night. That's why we drive all the way to Victoria to avoid that kind of atmosphere in Duncan. I believe the new location geared towards an older crowd is a space that is greatly needed in your city. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The victoria nightlife scene has been rather stale over the past years and the addition of a new Adult Oriented nightclub could breathe back some life into the club scene!

The bad news was tempered by the intention of the proprietors to move to a new location, INFINITE at Market Square. My wife and I used to go downtown for dinner often before a night out at HUSH, and since we no longer have dancing to look forward too, rarely go downtown. Victoria nightlife had in HUSH a venue for older, more mature clientele, who had very few incidents involving violence, or the need for police to attend. Other clubs in the city tend to be youth oriented and just don't have the same vibe as HUSH did. Hush had more of a community feel, which would transfer to Infiniti if given a chance. It is time to transfer the liquor licence from HUSH to INFINITI, one block away, and in the exact same neighborhood. Robert H.

The lack of options over the past year has been disappointing and I really believe there needs to be more options, I look forward to a licence approval in the near future. Please let me know if there are any issues as I do not stand alone on this issue.

  • Cole Porter: the Social Significance of Selected Love Lyrics of the 1930S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository Cole Porter: the social significance of selected love lyrics of the 1930s by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IA RABINOWITZ November 2010 DECLARATION i SUMMARY This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. KEY WORDS: Broadway, Cole Porter, early Hollywood musicals, gays and musicals, innuendo, musical comedy, social taboos, song lyrics, Tin Pan Alley, 1930 film censorship ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Ivan Rabinowitz, my supervisor, who has been both my mentor and an unfailing source of encouragement; Dawie Malan who was so patient in sourcing material from libraries around the world with remarkable fortitude and good humour; Dr Robin Lee who suggested the title of my dissertation; Dr Elspa Hovgaard who provided academic and helpful comment; my husband, Henry Holloway, a musicologist of world renown, who had to share me with another man for three years; and the man himself, Cole Porter, whose lyrics have thrilled, and will continue to thrill, music lovers with their sophistication and wit.

  • 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.

  • Abstract Balance by Eva Snyder B.A
    Abstract Balance By Eva Snyder B.A. Music and Computer Science Mount Holyoke College Balance, a three-song extended play album, was recorded in Nashville, ​ Tennessee in March of 2017 and debuted during an evening length senior recital on April 15th, 2017 at Mount Holyoke College. This paper details the processes of networking, marketing, and recording I have undertaken to produce my first professional album in the country music genre. Throughout this year, I have explored entrepreneurship in a new light and seen firsthand the issues that come along with the music industry. Using strong networking skills that I have developed, I have crafted my own solutions to said roadblocks. I have utilized new apps to quickly grow a supportive fanbase and interviewed fellow artists of differing levels of success searching for advice. In addition, I have emailed, phoned and met face-to-face with industry professionals as well as produced three radio-quality original songs while working seamlessly with highly accredited engineers in Nashville. Reflecting upon this year-long adventure will provide me with useful insights as to what worked and what did not work in regards toward advancing my professional music career. In the years to come, I hope Balance​ will spark other recording projects and be the ​ stepping stone for me to become a successful songwriter in Music City. 1 BALANCE Eva Snyder 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank...

  • Slug's Last Stand
    1 Slug’s Last Stand - A Memoir “ the moment that hard-bop came to an end as a vital force in Jazz was when Lee Morgan was shot dead by his jealous mistress at Slug’s club on the lower east side of New York City. .” Alyn Shipton- A New History of Jazz, 2007 In 2018 when I read Mr. Shipton’s comments I realize that I had a behind-the-scenes view of a small but vital piece of jazz history. James Gavin in his article INSIDE SLUG’S SALOON, JAZZ’S MOST NOTORIOUS NIGHT CLUB describes the neighbor hood. “ In the 1960s, New York’s East Village was a hodgepodge of Lower East Side multi-ethnicity-Ukrainians, Poles, Puerto Ricans, Jews and a burgeoning Bohemia of coffeehouses, experimental theatre and artists. Poverty and rampant drug action formed the . “The neighborhood had a beat to it that went on 24 hours,” says Charles Biada, then a young police officer at the nearby Ninth Precinct. “Somehow everyone seemed to interrelate.” Then night fell, and the unlit streets vibrated with danger. Dealers skulked in doorways; muggings were common. But that didn’t stop musicians and their fans from trekking into scary Alphabet City, east of First Avenue, to visit a club that lured the bravest renegades in jazz. Taxi drivers avoided the area, and the nearest subway stop was blocks away; those who lacked a car walked briskly. Along the way they passed squalid tenements, a men’s homeless shelter and the clubhouse of the Hells Angels, with a row of Harley- Davidsons outside.

But recently, that has begun to change. Urban downtowns are reviving, and new towns are being built to traditional patterns. Not only can streetcars serve these non- suburban areas, they need streetcars in order to flourish. Streetcars – which we define as rail transit vehicles designed for local transportation, powered by electricity received from an overhead wire – differ from both buses and Light Rail. Streetcars can be modern, Vintage (antique) or Heritage (reproduction) vehicles. All around the country, cities are building new streetcar lines. The most successful are tied in closely w i t h the local transit system. Construction costs for streetcar lines vary widely, although operating costs are almost always l o w.
