Being right here at UNH (gee, that's where Jewel was Tuesday night!) I thought you might be interested in the article that was in today's edition of our school paper. Headline is Jewel: no longer a diamond in the rough "Who will save your soul?" If Jewel has it her way... The uplifting songstress and vocalist brought a refreshing breath to the WHittemore center Tuesday night-one of resuscitation, encouragement, and hope. Deemed by WERZ personalities as the "hardest working woman in pop," Jewel performed for a crowd of nearly 5,000 people. Jewel arrived in Durham late in the evening after taping a session for MTV in Colorado, yet she appeared before the crowd sparkling as her name suggests. Starting with the second track off her album *Pieces of You* Jewel immediately captivated the audience who had been wandering restlessly during the proceeding acts. With a voice of gold and angel dust and with the power in her voice of a cathedral organ, she enraptured the audience. An accomplished yodeler, Jewel shared her talent with the awe-struck crowd who, for the most part, had not seent he human tongue move that fast or in such a manner. Between songs Jewel shared anecdotes and thoughts that she said were the inspirations for her music. Including lyrics she wrote while living in her car and while visiting the restroom of a KMart store. As a child growing up in ALaska, Jewel said her parents wanted to know how she was going to "make a living" rather than what would make her happy. She said that upbringing made her more aware of the power of dreams. She hasd a dream, and thanks to the people who supported her and bought her album she is living that dream. Jewel is an advocate for positive thinking. As she said to the crowd: humans have the unique ability to turn thoughts into actions. Hands cannot do something until the brain thinks it. She encouraged positive thought as a way to bring peace to the people of the Earth and as a way to set people free from the vicious, destructive ways we have come to know. She also encouraged the audience to free themselves fromt he soul-dulling influences of sex, drugs and television-which had a mixed reception by the audience. Some people cheered while others jeered. Also, on a political note, Jewel shared a song she had written after attending the Democratic National Convention. It held the message that there is hope in the future, but alos a chance in the present to affect change. As for the rest of the concert, there was a noticeable detachment between the performers and the audience. The Bodeans set themselves further from the audience by bringing up the obvious tension. Most likely the guitarist was hoping to change the atmosphere, but it resulted in a stiffer and more rigid crew of people. There was enough acne-creme clad faces in the Whittemore center Tuesday night at the Nada Surf, Bodeans, and Jewel concert to dry the Alaskan pipeline. And there was enough pubescent hormones to asphyxiate a pediphile. For those of you generous enough to donate to the Wildcat Santa drive through the purchase of a ticket, at least it was for a good cause. And thankfully, Jewel took the stage. There ya go. There's a black and white photo of her playing the guitar accompanying the article. The whole thing is almost-but-not-quite-half-a-page. I did grab a few extras (and can get more) if anyone would like a copy.

It ties into the CD-ROM magazine, Launch, which featured Jewel in its previous issue. But, there's a hell of a note: Intel's Pentium ad features elements created by technology available only for PowerPC and Motorola 68K processors. You see, _Launch_ uses QuickTime to deliver its video clips. And, at this time, only QuickTime for Macintosh allows creation of movie files (this capability _will_ be added to QuickTime for Windows soon).

There are some worthless people in our profession just like there are in other vocations. It is a scary that we have so much influence on students, and I apologize for my generation. In my 20 years of teaching and coaching I am sure that I have turned off many people at one time or another. In defense, I am not sure that any one human could deal with ALL the problems that we encounter in the classroom that students bring with them when they arrive at school. I wish I could take each one and give them the individual time attention that they deserve and lack from their lives, but I cannnot. So its off my soapbox and on with my life.

Driving in the snow is extremely fun unless you have to drive around with a bunch of people that don't know how to drive in it. Originally, I grew up and learned how to drive in sunny South Florida (the Keys). Then I moved to the Seattle area. Hmmm...snow. I know that this stuff can be dangerous...I know I've never driven on it. Better be careful until I find a deserted parking lot somewhere to learn. And that is what I did. I went out and spent a couple of hours in a parking lot learning how to stop, turn, etc. in the snow. Now what is scary is that there are people that have lived in this area all of their lives that can't drive a mile in an inch of snow without getting into an accident. All of the schools close down the second the snow begins to actually collect, and my life becomes much more frustrating. *Steps off of soapbox before he has a conniption* Just don't get me started on the way people drive in the rain here...it *IS* Seattle, after all... > >Chopped Liver (Charlie) >watkins@selway.umt.edu > >Share publicly, flame privately, >" 'Cause anyone can start a conflict >it's harder yet to disregard it ". > > Jon Akers Naval Nuclear Propulsion Electrician (but no SatNav!) ======================================================================= ObC: main(){printf(&unix["\021%six\012\0"],(unix)["have"]+"fun"-0x60);} ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1996 21:21:08 -0700 From: kulisu@arn.net (Chris Pavek) Subject: Re: JC: new album title >"Become what you are"? > >Didn't Juliana Hatfield (a good artist, check her out) do something by >that title?

I bought her Cd a couple of days ago, and while listening to it I looked through all the web pages I could find of hers, and while doing this I became more and more glad that I bought tickets for the jingle Ball, and it also made me want to kick myself more and more for being a scrooge and only getting the $25 cheap seats tickets. When my friend from back home called, I told that I was detirmined to meet her, and I made her run down and look up one of Jewel's homepages to show her how beautiful she looked. So she did and came back and told me that she looked like my type. WOULDN"T THAT BE GREAT! Yeah...um...dreaming...well...anyways, I went to the concert last night with some friends from school, and my only intentions were to see Jewel play, and see her backstage. Okay, Row G. For those of you who have never been to the Garden, that is the last row in the stadium. Can any of you say "Wish I had the Hubble". From the moment she came on, and started playing Near You Always, my favorite song, I was mezmerized. I was speachless for about ten minutes after she was done. She was so incredible. Her voice just blew me away. I don't know what it is, but her music just puts me into a trance that I can't get out of for hours. I've listened to her CD seriously about 8 times today. She was deffinitly the highlight of the entire show, it's to bad that the moniter didn't work during her set. To be able to see her sing, move, and put all of that energy that she puts into her songs would have been something I'm sure I would have made my addiction to her worse...okay maybe it was a good thing that I sat in practically another zip code for the concert. After her much to short set, and snapping out of my daze, I began to ponder the ways that might lead my to backstage, and I got some good ideas, but I chickened out. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! I pretty much so banged my head against the train in regret the whole way home for not trying, but oh well. it's over now. So I got home at 4:00 in the morn and sat right back down at my computer to search for some more Jewel stuff, and I ended up staying up till about 7:00 trying to download a screen saver, theme packet, and other stuff of hers. So, I skipped my 9:00 class, slept through my 11:00, and came back to my dorm and found this mailing list. So here I am, in a state of Jewel deficiency, rambling to you guys and gals about my last 24 hours. Alright, alright, I admit it, I'm hopelessly obsessed. Can you blame me? tony ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Dec 1996 22:51:44 -0500 From: Dan Stark Subject: Mailbox wiped out Hi, Sorry to post to the list with this crap, but something went haywire today and I lost my entire In box from Eudora, with many, many saved messages in it.

Any EDA that wants to meet, email me. If you haven't seen her, you're in for a pleasant suprise. Her material is well written. Her voice can't be compared to anyone. She does a lot of patter between songs that is guaranteed to make you laugh. When I saw her last time, she appeared very shy and timid as she walked through the audience. She talked to me before her set started and had a girl next door quality that melted my heart. As soon as she hit the stage, the place was all hers. Turn out for another San Diegian and friend of Jewel's. Buy her CDs. She also writes in the revised Crawdaddy magazine. Jan 17 Highland Grounds Los Angeles Jan 30 - Feb 3 Poptopia Festival ??

It is one of my favorites. Eyes Wide shut With eyes wide shut, I listen for the light but hear no sound. I watch for the sound but see no light. I look in the water for the sky and in the sky for the water. I look this way and find nothing, With eyes wide shut. I know this is kinda short, and most of my Poems are fairly long but This poem took me a while to write and i really like it. If you dont understand it i will collaborate and if ypu do understand you dont need to look any further. This poem is about how we are looking for things that we will never find because we are looking in all the wrong places, and if we opened our eyes we would find what we have been looking for.

Just coincidentally, "Eyes Wide Shut" is the name of the new Stanley Kubrick movie (in production now, I believe) starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
