Canadians from coast to coast are invited to submit the names of living individuals who have made a significant contribution to their community or our country. A selection committee of prominent Canadians and curatorial experts, including Lise Bissonnette, President and CEO of Bibliothhque et Archives nationales du Quibec, historian Charlotte Gray, Nobel-Prize-winning chemist, Dr. John Polanyi, and filmmaker, Alanis Obomsawin, will make the final selection of three subjects. The artists will be selected by the portrait subjects in consultation with the Portrait Gallery of Canada. "We're very excited by the chance to ask Canadians directly who they think should be in our national portrait collection." said Dr. Lilly Koltun, Director General of the Portrait Gallery of Canada. "We want all Canadians, as well as the artists who will create the portraits, to feel a part of building our living story, so that the collection will continue to reflect the heart of who we are as a nation and of what we are becoming." This will be the first time that a national art gallery in Canada has launched a commissioning program. Nomination forms can be filled out at http://www.portraits.gc.ca/009001-1500-e.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 08:39:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Monika Bogdanowicz Subject: Re: joni in vogue magazine 1968 I've seen some of these pictures before. I'm always a fan of black and white photos (they have a certain elegance if you ask me) and photos of people with their guitars. I think they really do capture Joni's essence at the time. Anyway, I browsed through these photos last night an hour or so before I went to bed and I had a strange dream resulting from probably doing so. I had a dream that I was friends with a girl who looked like Joni and I was friends with the girl just for that reason alone. It was weird. -Monika Bob.Muller@Fluor.com wrote: <..did we know joni modelled for Vogue in 1968?> The rest of us did, and we've been trying to keep it from you - looks like the cat is now out of the bag.

I mean, linking McCain with all this guy says is the same as linking Obama with everything Wright has said and I don't feel like playing that game. Although, I understand your intentions and believe me when I say I wouldn't ever vote for McCain. I don't even think McCain needs some crackpot to interfere with people voting for him. There are a good number of folks who already won't vote for him (just as there are those who will) and I'd bet a number of them you can't change what they think. -Monika Patti Parlette wrote: This is scary.

In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis." http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/38133-mccain-s-spiritual-guide-wants-america-to-destroy-islam?utm_source=rgemail Strong and wrong What is God's will?

But just to clarify, McCain himself called Rev. Rod Parsley (not Hagee) "a truly great leader, a moral compass, a spiritual guide." I am not worried that he is pandering to these nut cases, but that he actually may *share* their hatred and divisive world views (axis of evil crap). (Don't talk to people, just kill them. "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.") I've heard that McCain still says "gook". And I can't get the picture out of my mind of him singing: "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." Anyone who would joke about bombing human beings is sick. (Just more bang bang ketchup color to him.) Plus, many a truth is said in jest, as they say. That is what worries me. (I worry sometimes.) The other point I was trying to make and share/spread is: Why don't we see endless youtubes of *this* guy (and you know there may be more), but you get overkill with Rev. Wright in the mainstream media? The internet is where we keep can keep democracy and the good feelings alive. (On second thought -- both sides now -- it's probably a good thing we *don't* see endless youtubes of Parsley, because people just might agree with him and jump on his sick bandwagon.) Yes. If everyone with a somewhat level head on their shoulders (I said send me somebody, who's strong and somewhat sincere!) would get out and vote, maybe we can overcome the insane ones. Another problem is apathy. We need to bring others with us/encourage others to vote. I hear from my many European colleagues that their friends and kin in Europe are much more interested in this election than some Americans. Isn't it a pity? Sharing the dream most of us have, and sending you good vibes across that green water in motion, Patti P. > > I wouldn't take it too hard. While I am certainly not a McCain supporter let us face the fact that Hagee is not his "spiritual > guide". The guy is looking for votes where he can get them and among them the fundamentalist extremists. I really do not think that > even if he wins he will be pandering to nut cases like Parsely and Hagee.

The place was packed by 6:30 with Wavy Gravy holding court, Jim flitting in and out of the back room, and many "beautiful people with passport smiles". I tried to view the photographs, took some photos myself, and ended up in conversation with an acquaintance and another woman. The second woman was wearing an original paisley print dress, and the three of us happily remininsced about vintage 60's clothes and the joy of still fitting into our 40+ year old clothes. Trina, who was wearing the paisley, confided that she was a "Lady of the Canyon" and had had a boutique in the East Village. I launched into my spiel; "that's what i wanted to be when I was at UCLA, but was too responsible , got a job," blithering on. Trina said, "NO, I'm one of THE ladies of the canyon". PENNY dropped; TRINA!!!!! Here I was talking to the long-lost Trina, of Trina, Annie and Estrella. We continued to swap stories and business cards. I greeted more of my friends; taking pictures of them. The next high-profile visitor was Joan Baez. She was greeted by Jim and toured the room with him. I want to return to really see the phots; besides Jim's rock star photos, he had a series titled 11/22/63 New York which stopped most of the viewers in their tracks. The raw emotion was captured flawlessly. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 14:33:27 -0700 From: "Cassy" Subject: NJC - Another Hear Music Convert Passing along the article about Mellencamp's next release as a matter of interest to those who enjoy his music but also to get any feedback you might have on this new proprietary CODE technology. Warmly, Cassy NP: Radiohead - Inside my Head John Mellencamp's Life, Death, Love and Freedom to Be Released July 15th on Hear Music Here is the official press release announcing the details of John's new album: Los Angeles, May 9, 2008: John Mellencamp's eagerly anticipated new album, Life, Death, Love and Freedom, produced by T Bone Burnett, will be released July 15 by Hear Music at Starbucks Company-operated locations in the U.S. and Canada as well as traditional music retail. Mellencamp has characterized the album as a collection of "modern electric folk songs." With backing from his legendary touring band, the album's 14 tracks were recorded at his studio in Bloomington, Indiana and mixed in Los Angeles with Burnett behind the boards for all of the sessions. Mellencamp cites Burnett's production as key to "finding the soul of each song." As far as signing to Hear Music is concerned, he noted, "In today's business environment, each artist needs to pursue his own path and determine what works best. For me, Hear is the right way to go for this album. I'm glad to be working with a team of open minded people who seem to be interested in what the music is about and what it sounds like." "John Mellencamp is true original, a writer and performing artist of passion, talent and spirit who in the course of his exceptional career has maintained a unique and distinctive voice in his songwriting," said Glen Barros, president & CEO of Concord Music Group who oversees the Hear Music label. "The songs on this record are perhaps his most intimate, honest and poignant of his career. We are delighted to have this opportunity to work on 'Life, Love, Death and Freedom.'" The album will be the first ever release in the XO?E (CODE) format. T Bone Burnett and his team of engineers developed CODE, a proprietary audio technology that creates high-definition audio files that are virtually indistinguishable from the original master tapes. The resonance, warmth and presence that has been realized with CODE is unprecedented in the digital era. The CODE version of "Life, Death, Love and Freedom" is a DVD that will come packaged with a standard CD version of the album, available at all retail outlets, at no additional cost to the consumer. The CODE disc is playable on virtually all DVD machines including stand-alone players and drives integrated into computer systems. The DVD's content can be copied into most computer music software including iTunes and can, then, be downloaded onto personal music players such as the iPod. The standard CD is included to answer all possible compatibility questions. Mellencamp commented, "When T Bone introduced me to CODE, it was a remarkable experience. I could hear the music the way it was intended to be heard. I'm very happy the people are going to be able to share this experience in a way that's so true to our original intent." Mellencamp toured the U.S. and Canada towards the end of last year and had been performing at least half of the songs heard on "Life, Death, Love and Freedom" for concert audiences who have been extremely receptive to the new material. Earlier, he previewed several of the songs in New York at the annual Farm Aid benefit concert and at a benefit for New York Housing Works. He was a surprise guest performer at San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival earlier this fall and joined T Bone Burnett on stage to preview some of the album's songs. In connection with the album's release, Mellencamp is embarking on a month-long tour that kicks off in Philadelphia on July 8. Mellencamp was inducted earlier this year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and this past December received the ASCAP Foundation's Champion Award in recognition of the his outstanding use of music in the service of humanity. His musical collaboration with author Stephen King, Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, is in the workshop stage with a full production anticipated within the next two years. TRACK LISTING: 1.

I know this will mean a different thing to different people: i guess that is what i am trying to elicit. >>> I don't know where to begin with this one, Garret, there are so many for as many reasons. Undoubtedly, my earliest really "beautiful" song was "Judgment of the Moon and Stars", it moved me not only with the music but also the lyrics, so succinct and emotional. The piano really sings a duet with Joni, it's a character in itself. From the first listening I loved this song and felt it personified Joni's talent and still, to this day, have to stop when it comes on my i-Pod and listen, it's beauty everlasting to my ears. From Miles of Aisles I listened over and over and over to Jericho and Love or Money, I enjoy them to this day too. The beauty of those songs was that I had "new" Joni to listen to. I had heard them in concert and had to have them! When the album came out I was thrilled. Later on, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, honestly, kind of left me in it's wake a bit. I didn't know what to think of it - I've come to love it now but was confused initially. The only song I really liked then was Edith and the Kingpin and still think that's a "beautiful" song. Now moreso because it was the song which allowed me to move with Joni into a new era of sound. The most beautiful version, for me, is on Shadow & Light. Hejira is, in it's entirety, a "beautiful" album. I don't think there is a song on it I don't love. "The Silky Veils Of Ardor", to me was so reminiscent of her early "girl and her guitar" songs, I couldn't help but like it on the first listen and think it's beautiful. And who could forget "Dancin' Clown?" it has a place of beauty all on it's own... it is a beautifully horrible number; though I can imagine her penning this one flying on coke, the pace is just too frantic not to have been. Passion Play & Slouching Towards Bethlehem both get the nod for beautiful songs as does The Sire of Sorrow. Harlem in Havana has my vote for beautiful later releases. I love the instrumentation and the flavor of the song. Beginning with the CD Both Sides Now Joni seemed obsessed with making "grandma" music for a while and it was all very... beautiful... and not in a good way to me, except for the title track of the chocolate box which inexplicably brought me to tears on first listen. When her new release "Shine" came out I detested it on first listen. I understand it and there are some parts that are brilliant but it just hasn't sat well in my psyche overall. So while many of you think it's one of her best, it just hasn't spent much time in my CD player. I have not bothered to convert it for my i-Pod and hadn't really planned to but I can't disappoint Patti and not have ALL of Joni's releases available on i-Pod demand so I may do it at some point... just not any time soon. My picks, for what they're worth.

I specifically chose ShowTime as my premium channel years ago because I used to watch Queer as Folk and later The "L" Word along with Weeds. HBO used to have the best shows but Showtime surpassed them at some point. I recently watched the Sopranos from start to finish on DVD, I had never seen the whole show. It took me from Christmas until mid March to finish the series but as I was watching the last disc I kept wondering "what am I going to do when it's over?" I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my guilty television pleasures is "Survivor" which I've watched faithfully since it began.

S. there is a series of short white lines that divides the lanes. A solid yellow line on your side of these white lines means no passing for the traffic going in your direction (usually on curves or going up a hill where visibility is blocked). If there is a 'double yellow line' (solid yellow line on both sides of the broken white line down the middle) it means no passing in either direction. Not sure if that is entirely clear.
