My friends think I'm crazy 'cause everytime I see someone on the streets beg for money I give them whatever I can, they say that why is that person begging if he/she could go get a job? we don't know the circumstances of those people, but I do know that noone would like to be humiliating themselves and asking for money on a street unless they need too, for whatever reason that might me. Thanks so much Ashley for wanting to donate, and for all you new EDA's out there and Old dogs too, we are trying to gather as much money as we can to give to Jewel for Christmas for her charity Higher Ground for Humanity and focusing on the "clear water project " which will help bring potable water to poor regions around the world , along with a Christmas card which will list the names of all of those who donated. I'm really bad (or lazy better) with creating links on the computer, but please go to the Jewel official website, www.jeweljk.com you immediately will see 2 links to HGH and the "Clear Water Project" , go there and follow the instructions for donations, don't forget to put next to your name "EDA" which will tell the organization that you are from this list and your name will be added to the xmas card Jewel will be given on Christmas. Jewel will really appreciate this gesture. we ALL can make a difference. take care Uri ScootLu13@aol.com wrote: > my name is ashley and i only became an EDA a few days ago.

Sadly I missed Jewel when she was with Merle LIVE on pay per view because I had thought it was on Sunday when of course it was on Saturday. Thankfully, TNN replayed the show tonight! I thought Jewel sounded absolutely breath taking and looked amazing as well! :-) The performance was absolutely great. I've really liked "That's The Way Love Goes." since I heard Jewel sing it several months ago! Way to go again Jewel! :-) NEXT UP: David on Thursday & Today show on Friday! This is an awesome Jewel week! Enjoy Angels!

You see, our modem broke about two months ago and not knowing how long it would take to finally get it fixed I didn't bother unsubscribing from the via a different computer. Little did I know that a couple of months later I would be faced with the daunting task of sifting through 1722 e-mails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My God! Anyway, the reason for the note is to ask of any upcoming Jewel appearances on Australian TV, or anything exciting like that. Anything? Because I've basically decided to delete most of the e-mails, checking quickly for any "NEED TO READ" subjects. So, if the Aussie EDAs could help me out on anything I should know, it would be greatly appreciated! Ta.

For those having difficulty locating it, you'll find it much easier a week from now when many of the larger CD/Video retailers will begin stocking it. Of course you can easily get the home video right now as we've had it available at Jewel's website store for several weeks now. Theres a handy link on the www.jeweljk.com navigation page or just click on "Jewel Store".

ANOTHER article about Ride With The Devil? This officially is like the 750th review of RWTD posted on the list lately ;-) It's from the USA Today website at http://www.usatoday.com/life/enter/movies/movie116.htm with no pictures, but there's an online video of Jewel talking about making the film (I presume it's about the film, I haven't watched the video). The article is also in the printed newspaper (Wednesday's issue), but there's no video (snicker snicker) and the only picture is of Tobey & Skeet. War buffs will go along for 'Ride' By Mike Clark, USA TODAY Ken Burns and Scarlett O'Hara notwithstanding, there haven't been as many Civil War movies as one might think - at least in proportion to the lasting historical significance of the tragedy. Director Ang Lee's long and lumpy Ride With the Devil (2.5 stars out of four) is redeemed some by unromanticized authenticity, but it's likely to be appreciated most (and perhaps exclusively) by subject enthusiasts just happy to see the film exist. Headlined by the not-always-dynamic acting mix of Skeet Ulrich, Tobey Maguire and pop singer Jewel, the film takes a Confederate viewpoint in its portrayal of the makeshift Bushwhackers - a band of guerrillas who burned out and murdered Union sympathizers, just as their Northern Jayhawker opposites did in the reverse. In the course of this 2¼-hour epic, these ragtag causists don't accomplish very much - and they know it. This is one of the movie's key points but also one of its dramatic liabilities. Jake (Maguire) has a German-emigre and pro-Union father who is killed by Yankees well aware of his son's sentiments. Jack (Ulrich) is the son of a plantation owner, George (Simon Baker), a young edition of a Southern gentleman, and - in the movie's most interesting role, though belatedly so - Holt (Jeffrey Wright) is an ex-slave loyal to the Bushwhackers' cause because George purchased and freed him. There are several peripheral characters, but those four and a war widow (Jewel) are the principals upon which the movie depends. Lee's direction seems colder and more impersonal than in any of his previous pictures, which include three charming Taiwanese comedies (Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet, Eat Drink Man Woman) as well as Sense and Sensibility and The Ice Storm. Despite some capable action scenes (including an elaborately staged attack on Lawrence, Kan.) and the overall scope of Frederick (Blue Velvet) Elmes' cinematography, the movie starts to engage only in the later going when Wright's role takes on prominence and Maguire begins to amuse when he gets trapped in a relationship with the widowed Jewel. Their courtship (if that's what it is) isn't all that compelling, but it does relieve some of the frequent monotony (which, in fairness, probably reflects how the Bushwhackers' lives probably were). Jewel is more like an acting zircon because she just can't project, but at least she looks the part, and her novelty value isn't unwelcome. Though Elvis got to sing in his Civil War movie (screen debut Love Me Tender), Lee has wisely resisted shoehorning in any Jewel vocals until the end credits - though a song break would have been a given four decades ago. End of article. You can put away them dictionaries....I looked up "zircon". According to AOL's online dictionary, it means: a tetragonal mineral consisting of a silicate of zirconium and occurring usually in brown or grayish square prisms of adamantine luster or sometimes in transparent forms which are used as gems. Wow! Talk about uncanny! I too always thought of Jewel as a transparent tetragonal mineral! ;-) Anyone have a good idea what the author meant by that? (I mean, I know what he meant, but why the heck did he choose "zircon"?) Mike :-) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V4 #701 ***************************
