Description: 209 page compendium of 42 articles written by David W. Ishmael, WA6VVL, regarding tube-type amateur radio receivers and transmitters for Electric Radio magazine between September 1991 through March 2003. Spiral-bound 8-1/2" x 11".
You can write your own review of the Vintage Anthology by WA6VVL.
If you read my last review of this book I basically stated that Dave Ishmael is a very knowledgeable and detail oriented person and I was disappointed with the quality of the pics in the book. I have followed Dave's work in the Electric Radio magazine and he seems to be a perfectionist with detail which really made me wonder about the book I received.
Fast Forward to February 2016, Dave contacted me and explained that the printers had apparently used the wrong DVD to pull the pics from and they had printed some of these books with low resolution pics that were hard to make out.
At any rate, Dave was kind enough to offer a replacement copy if I would scan a few pics and send them to him to verify that is what had happened.
I did so and his reply was, "BINGO" new book on the way.
OK, I received the new copy today and what a difference. It's still black and white/gray scale printing and this is what I expected to begin with. The pics are MUCH better and I can make out the detail just fine.
Also mentioned in my first review, is the info was EXCELLENT and deserving of a score greater than 5.
If you like vintage Ham radio and might be considering building or restoring some of the receivers or transmitters described in this book, then this becomes a MUST HAVE Resource.
It is also just a FUN READ!!
I also appreciate Dave taking the time to make me happy with my purchase. I suspect many others would have been content to let it go and pocket the small profit received on this kind of a purchase.
THANK YOU DAVE ISHMAEL for your honesty, integrity and dedication to detail.
I give this book and it's author a well deserved EXCELLENT A+++++++ Rating!!!
Now, get a copy for your pleasure and ENJOY this GREAT Reference Resource.
I have the utmost respect for Dave Ishmael and have followed his EXCELLENT articles in Electric Radio magazine. I even bought the Viking Adventure he restored and was written up in ER. Having said that, I bought a copy of his Vintage Anthology. The text was great and lots of good info there. I give him a 7 on the 5 point scale, however, the photos throughout the book are very poor Many of them with almost no recognizable parts and pieces. Most look like black/white photo copies from the early 70's. The best pics have scan lines through each and here I give the book a big ZERO. The pics are so bad I am tempted to just return it, information notwithstanding. Simple gray scale scanning with a little light would yield vastly superior pics. Honestly, as detailed oriented as Mr Ishmael is, I am very surprised the book is so substandard.
Dave has really done a job good of collecting his Electric Radio articles. I bought the book for the detailed sections related to the Knight Kit Ocean Hopper receiver and the Ameco AC-1 novice transmitter, but I've been spending a lot of time learning more about other classics like the Heathkit AT-1 and more. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who enjoys learning more about (or restoring) the old classic rigs.

There is a growing trend –specifically among young adults– where classic social norms and institutions, such as marriage, are not as important as they used to be. In an age where more and more marriages just aren't "sticking," and the divorce rate is higher than the success rate, more people are waiting longer to get married, or they are flat-out rejecting the concept of marriage. Additionally, as the issue of homosexual marriage continues to fight its way across the country, more and more young adults are faced with a scary reality: what do I do if something bad happens to me or my significant other?
The traditional concept is that young people fall in love, get married, and go along their way. Through the institution of legal marriage, each spouse is given certain rights to property, to decision-making, and to visitation of the other spouse. But, as more people live together without ever legally establishing a marriage (or are prevented from doing so), those rights are limited.
However, for those living in a non-traditional relationship, there are some easy and important steps that you can take to create important rights and remove the uncertainty of living with someone as an unmarried couple (at least as it relates to legal rights).
There are a handful of useful documents that can be created easily and cost-effectively, and which provide security for you and your significant other. The main documents include: 1) a Designated Beneficiary Agreement, 2) a Durable Medical Power of Attorney, 3) a Living Will, and 4) a Disposition of Last Remains. And, despite the daunting legalistic names, these documents and their purposes are relatively easy to understand.
- The right to inherit property from the other person without a will.
- The agreement can be unilaterally undone by either of the people in the agreement.
This is a customized document that will require an attorney's help to complete. But, the document can be as simple or complex as you need it to be. The general idea of a Durable Medical Power of Attorney is that the document lists one or more people that you trust and who you want to make medical decisions for you, if you are ever injured and are unable to make health care decisions on your own. In the document, you can also include your personal wishes and explain how you want things to be done on your behalf.
Under the Colorado Medical Treatment Decision Act, a person can create a Living Will that tells a hospital or other health care facility what you would like done if you are ever in a terminal or unresponsive condition. This means that if you are ever in an accident or have a disease where the doctors think you will not recover, the document will tell them what you want done. Generally speaking, if doctors decide that you lack "decisional capacity to accept or reject medical or surgical treatment" you have three options: 1) stop life sustaining treatment, 2) continue life sustaining treatment, or 3) continue the treatment for a limited time.
This is similar to the Designated Beneficiary Agreement, because it is a very simple form that can be completed in a matter of minutes. And, you can make the decisions well in advance of any potential accident.
Finally, it is a very stressful experience to make decisions, such as funeral arrangements, for loved ones who have passed away. So, in order to simplify the process and to ensure that what you want done is actually carried out, a Disposition of Last Remains is a simple document that explains what you want done, and who you want to do it, once you have passed away. Similar to the Durable Medical Power of Attorney, this is a document that you should have an attorney help you create, but it can be a very simple and cost-effective process. Things you can put in the document include whether you want to be buried or cremated, religious ceremonies, and anything else important to you.
While these documents can be very useful, please remember that not everyone needs all of them. Also, it is a very scary and unpleasant thing to think about potential accidents. But, these documents can make unpleasant situations much more manageable.
So, it is important that if you think any of these documents may be useful to you, you should speak with an attorney or conduct more research on your own to fully understand what to do.

Woman Sets World Record With 52 Cosmetic Procedures
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Thinkstock(LONDON) -- Cindy Jackson, a Londoner who hails from the American Midwest, has had $100,000 in cosmetic procedures, including 14 full-scale operations as well as cuts, pulls, peels and jabs.
She's had Botox, five face-lifts and liposuction, and her eyes have been done -- twice. In total, Jackson has had 52 cosmetic procedures, a world record for the most procedures ever undergone by one person.
"I didn't set out to break, to set a world record, it was never my ambition, it's just that I had so much done," she said.
Asked why she had, she gave a simple reply: "For me, it was just to look better."
"For me, the best result is one that looks natural," Jackson added. "I wouldn't ever want anyone to stop and stare at me and say 'that woman's had a lot of surgery.' I would never want to look like I'd had anything done."
Jackson, 55, grew up in small town Ohio, with a short-tempered father and low self-esteem.
She recalled a comment someone made to her when she was young: "One guy said when I was 14, 'You know Cindy, when you smile, from the side your nose and chin almost meet.'"
"It was like being in the wrong body and wrong face and I felt that very much and wanted to change it," she said.
When her father died, he left her some money, and she used it to start her transformation.
She says she's been careful to take it slow, but also said she just wants to look beautiful and young.
"I feel like a young spirit and I don't want to look in the mirror and see and old face. I feel this is me," she said. "This is the way I should look."

95-Year-Old Woman Sets Running Record
Photo Courtesy - ABC News(NEW YORK) -- A 95-year-old New York woman set a world record last week when she ran at a track meet in northern Manhattan.
Ida Keeling, coming in at 83 pounds and standing 4 feet, 6 inches tall, ran 60 meters in 29.86 seconds at the meet, becoming the first woman her age to ever accomplish that feat.
The 95-year-old, who takes only one prescription drug and recalls names and dates with the speed of someone half her age, said she feels years younger than her true age.
"Like a puppy," Keeling declared. "I feel younger now than when I was in my 30s and 40s!"
Over her long life, Keeling has endured the kind of heartbreak and hardship that could grind anyone down. Her mother passed away when she was a child, and her husband died suddenly of a heart attack when he was just 42. She lost two sons, Charles and Donald, to drug-related killings in 1979 and 1981.
But in running, Keeling found a refuge.
Her daughter, Shelley Keeling, who is a lawyer and real estate investor and coaches track and field at a nearby high school, convinced her to go on a "mini-run" when her mother was 67. Two years later, Ida Keeling ran a 5K race, and she's been running ever since.
"It felt good, and I felt uplifted. I said, 'Well, gee, this is for me,"' Kelling said.
When asked about the secrets to her good health, Keeling said she eats a light breakfast for dinner and a dinner -- say hamburger, or liver, or fish -- for breakfast.
Keeling said she is not sure how much longer she will run, although she said she hopes to "make it to 108," which would give her four more years than her father's mother, who lived until the age of 104.

LD Systems is unveiling its new U500 in-ear monitoring system at this year's Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt.
Aimed at bands, musicians and rental firms U500 systems are available in a variety of formats, with and without headphones.
U500 in-ear monitoring systems are equipped with switchable transmitting power of 2 mW, 10 mW and 30 mW in order to meet country-specific regulations and be fully functional throughout Europe and worldwide. With their signal transmission over a distance of up to 100 metres, the systems provide unrestricted freedom of movement in almost any application, LD says.
96 receiver channels are available to provide mono or stereo operation as required. For optimum user comfort, the in-ear mix can be adjusted to taste via a 3-band EQ with parametric mids. In addition, the U500 systems facilitate personalised user name entry and storage of preferred settings in ten preset memory locations. Depending on the frequency band, up to twelve systems can be operated simultaneously.
In order to ensure legibility both on dark stages and in sunlight, the transmitter and receiver units are equipped with a high-contrast OLED display. Using two AA batteries, the pocket receiver has an operating time of up to 10 hours.
The U500 IEM Series is available in five versions and a rack-mount kit and a rugged transport case are supplied for everyday use "on the road".
The post New in-ear monitoring from LD Systems appeared first on Music Instrument News.

To Protect Your Brand, You Have to Expose Yourself (to Social Video)
Friday, September 7, 2018, 9:07 AM ET
JoAnna Foyle
Chief Operating Officer, OpenSlate
Over the past several months, we've watched the largest video platforms make large-scale improvements to address brand safety. They honed their filters, updated their monetization policies, invited top independent measurement providers to the table and improved transparency.
It's clear that the platforms feel and bear the burden of eliminating brand-unsafe content – the undeniably reprehensible videos that no advertiser would want to appear beside.
Major brands that have prioritized video within their marketing mix are now learning that brand safety is one thing and brand suitability is quite another. It is increasingly clear that the responsibility for the latter falls to the brand team. Brands are actively involved in conversations about how to determine what is and is not acceptable content and how to best render the resulting brand suitability policy into their media-buying practices.
Procter & Gamble is a great example. The P&G team partnered with its agencies and spent the better part of a year developing its policy and strategy for targeting suitable content before reactivating spend on YouTube.
Many of the world's largest brands are doing the same. If your brand has equity, integrity and identity, then you have to take responsibility for the nature of the content it appears beside.
Playing in the gray
Content exists on a spectrum. If you consider the total volume of video content online, there's some portion that is clearly unsafe for brands due to its illicit nature. That perilous portion is the responsibility of the platform to filter or purge, whether by algorithm or by hand. On the other end of the spectrum, there is some content that is clearly premium, produced by reputable publishers about broadly acceptable topics and featuring broadly acceptable language and visuals.
But most content – particularly in the realm of social video – falls into a gray zone that is highly subjective. This is where a brand's own standards for suitability and developing a concrete policy come into play. A brand that targets teenage boys will associate with content that may not be suitable for a general lifestyle brand.
Post-campaign is too late
It's not enough to find out after a campaign is over that a brand was exposed to unsavory content. It might ask for a make-good, but the damage is done. Even if that impression wasn't captured in the press, the brand's reputation took a hit, whether it knows it or not.
This is why having the tough conversations and authoring a policy before the campaign runs is critical.
It's time to get weird
As marketers come to the table to begin formulating brand suitability standards, they must understand the environment in which those standards will be applied.
In terms of digital video, this means getting a grip on the wild and weird worlds of the largest social platforms. The best way to do that is to start spending some serious time with the content. Search for things like "prank," "twerk," "minecraft" and "nursery rhymes." Much of the content encountered in a broadly focused sweep could seem strange, unintelligible and ridiculous to a marketing executive, but that doesn't mean it isn't valuable.
In the eyes of another audience – potentially that marketer's target audience – it's binge-worthy. And today, that equals gold.

Madarasa al-Manjakiyya Restoration
The Madrasa of al-Manjakiyya, built by Sayf al-Din Manjak during the 14th century, rests on the west portico of al-Haram al-Sharif overlooking the gorgeous view of the Dome of the Rock, and its surrounding structures. The founder, Manjak, started as a mamluk (slave) of Sultan al-Nasir, he later advanced in military and political ranks to amir (army commander), a vizier, governor of several cities and in between spent some of his time in the prison of Alexandria after being caught conspiring against the Sultan (the fault for which his brother was executed). The Manjakiyya displays a handsome façade toward the Haram where two double arched windows with voussoirs of black and yellowish stone announce a domed loggia behind. The main entrance used to be through the muqarnas portal in the street Tariq Bab al-Nazir and another entrance, no longer in existence, used to connect the madrasa to the platform of the Haram by means of spiral stone stairway. The interior arrangement at the present is a result of many alternations and does not give an ordered impression. The original organization was apparently of a conventional Mamluk madrasa arrangement with dwelling units around an open courtyard, and presumably also contained a residential unit for the founder himself for the period of his temporary stay in Jerusalem.

GRANT SUPPORT FOR FARMERS TRIPLES
In Ireland, Minister for Climate Action and Environment, Denis Naughten confirmed that Cabinet had approved the increase in payments to grow forestry crops. This increase will result in the overall grant support received by farmers under the Forestry for Fibre scheme rising from €4,250/ha to €11,465/ha over the lifetime of the scheme. It is hoped that the trebling of payments will attract more farmers to take up the opportunity to increase production of renewable energy crops for local commercial heat use under the Support Scheme for Renewable Heat.

HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF FORESTRY
Irish Minister of State with responsibility for Forestry Andrew Doyle recently toured Galway to highlight the importance of the forest industry chain to the local and regional economy in the county.
"With all the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, forestry has proved to be an extremely good choice for some farmers to pursue on the best-use-of-land basis.
The forestry schemes are providing alternative best-use options for farmers in Galway and farmers can choose to diversify their income stream with forestry, which can be financially rewarding as well as helping to mitigate the effects of climate change through natural carbon storage," he said.

IRELAND BEHIND ON TREE PLANTING
A Forestry Programme report says that the country's tree-planting targets for have been missed. The government believes more tree-planting will go some way to help Ireland meet its 2030 emissions reduction target, which it is on course to miss.
The planting of conifers was increasing up to 2017, at which point planting fell 22% short of its overall target. Total afforestation figures for the years 2015 – 2017 show that overall planting is 7% lower than the target. The shortfall in planting for native woodlands, agroforestry, and forestry for fibre combined was much greater at 74%.
While more traditional forestry has a rotation of approximately 35 to 40 years, the species planted under the Forestry for Fibre scheme have a rotation of up to 15 years. A payment of €510 per hectare is available each year up to the time the plantation is felled.
There has been controversy over delays in payments from the state agency Coillte. The organisation said it would have to regain the trust of landowners who took part in the farm-forest partnership scheme and who went without payments for years.Under the plan, Coillte would plant land with trees and give farmers a cut of the proceeds when the forest was harvested.
The government continually underspent its budget for its afforestation scheme with an underspend of some €22 million during the first three years of the programme. This underspend is being put down to the lower than expected demand from landowners. The allocation for 2018 is €106 million. Read more...
A BILLION TREE TARGET IN NZ
Applications have opened for the Afforestation Grants Scheme (AGS), which provides $1,300 of Government funding per hectare for new forests between five and 300 hectares.
Collaborative efforts towards the ambitious one billion trees target are under way in NZ. The commercial forestry sector is projected to plant half a billion trees in the next 10 years. Private landowners, government agencies, NGO's, iwi, regional councils, nurseries and the private sector working hard to plant the other half.
"This will see us go from 55 million trees this year, to 70 million in 2019, to 90 million in 2020. From there we will be aiming for 110 million a year over the next seven years of the programme. said Minister for Forestry Hon.Shane Jones.
"This year, almost 7.3 million trees will be planted through various Ministry for Primary Industries schemes – about half of which will be indigenous species."
"Planting will include both exotics and natives. We want to enable planting of a mix of permanent and harvestable forestry, using both exotic and native tree species on private, public and Maori-owned land. Species include radiata pine, red wood, totara, eucalyptus, Douglas fir and mānuka.
"Forestry is a great choice. It will help landowners to diversify their income, invest in their family's future and improve productivity – as well as help to play their part in economic development and meeting environmental goals, such as tackling erosion," Mr Jones said. Read more...
TURFED OUT FOR TREES - THE NEXT CLEARANCES IN SCOTLAND?
It was sheep last time... ALMOST 6000 people have signed a petition calling on the Scottish Government to stop giving forestry grants to landowners replacing tenanted farms with trees. The petition calls on Forestry Commission Scotland and Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing, to stop landowners "removing people from farms or demanding they buy or quit" to open the door to being able to claim vast sums of public funding to plant commercial forestry through the Forestry Grant Scheme.
The petition adds: "The Scottish Government is currently promoting the increase of forestry by awarding huge sums of money through the Forestry Grant Scheme. Every farm unit that closes means a loss of livelihood to the tenants, a loss of tenant farmers for Scotland, a loss of farming diversity in a country with the most concentrated pattern of land ownership in the developed world, and a loss of people, skills and trade for fragile rural economies."

"We know that whenever we do something extra to a log — involving more human effort, tools, and machines—we add value to it." Taylor is head of Taylor Lumber, a family-run business that started out in 1936 with three employees. Over five generations it has grown to employ between 90 and 110 people directly and indirectly through logging operations, a sawmill operation, a planing mill, a chipping plant, a pallet manufacturing plant, and a retail supply store.
"Rather than cutting more trees, we need to cut fewer trees but do more with them," said Taylor. He said this approach will also employ more people. "Nova Scotia is a small province with a small wood supply. Our focus should be on producing lumber for our local market, building local industry, and keeping jobs here, not for us producing lumber for export."
Back in 2003, a study about the value-added wood products industry was prepared for the Nova Scotia Community College and funded by Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation (ECBC) and ACOA. It found that despite the higher revenues generated and job creation potential of the value-added sector, viability has been "threatened" by a number of factors including provincial policies around the use of crown land, the provincial focus on primary manufacturing (pulp), and unsustainable forest harvesting. The report stated that "more roundwood currently being harvested needs to make its way into the supply chain of the value-added wood products industry in Nova Scotia. Instead much of the roundwood is leaving the province to be processed elsewhere or is being converted to very low value-added products."
Raymond Plourde is the Wilderness Coordinator at the Ecology Action Centre. He doesn't mince any words when it comes to how he feels about CelluFuel and products like biomass and biofuel. He says we need another "high volume, low value commodity product made from trees…like we need another hole in the head." He points to centuries of high-grading for lumber and "decades of rampant clear cutting to feed the insatiable pulp and paper industry" (Industry doesn't exist in isolation, there are customers who are driving this demand! CM) and the more recent "high-volume consumptive pressure of big biomass for domestic and foreign electricity generation," as all leading to the decimation of habitat and the "ever-growing list of endangered forest-dependent wildlife species."

OREGON FORESTERS FOLLOW RULES
Oregon's forestland owners are overwhelmingly following regulations aimed at managing and harvesting timber. They had a compliance rate of 97 percent with 57 key rules related to logging, road building and water protection under the Oregon Forest Practices Act, according to a study by the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODFA)
"Minimizing the amount of waste slash in waters of the state had a compliance rate of 76 percent", Paul Clements, ODFA's training and compliance coordinator said. "Areas of low compliance included leaving vegetation around small wetlands, which may not be readily apparent during the dry season, and a rule requiring landowners to use properly sized culverts on roads crossing streams was only properly followed about half the time", Clements said.
This problem was the subject of a 2013 Supreme Court decision that was favorable to the timber industry — as runoff from culverts wasn't found to be industrial pollution — but only after years of litigation.
Oregon's rules for forestry and logging are intended to minimize the effects of disturbances, Clements said. "You can't go get logs without disturbing something." Read more...

The best of the Studio Connections programs make intentional connections between the works being presented, and this program goes further connecting those dots through more than 40 years of Louisville Ballet history.
The Friday evening's works were staged by former Artistic Directors Alun Jones, Helen Starr, and Bruce Simpson, and also Ballet Mistress Mikelle Bruzina, with commentary by current Artistic & Executive Director Robert Curran.
The highlights of the evening, for me, were the restaging of two mid-20th century dance dramas. That the Louisville Ballet has in its repertoire ballets by Antony Tudor and Eugene Loring speaks to the personal connections that each generation of dancers and choreographers has with the previous (and the next) generation.
The last time I saw "Billy the Kid" was when the late Clark Reid danced the title role, and it was wonderful to see even a snippet, again, from this fascinating blend of American mythology and ballet. Curran's introduction of this piece included a tribute to Reid's connection with the ballet and also lifted up all the artists whom the Louisville Ballet has lost. Stokes danced the role of Billy, with intense precision, joined briefly by Alias (Rob Morrow) and cowboys Alex Kingma, Joseph Cianciulli, and Sanjay Saverimuttu.
The evening opened, appropriately, with Fokine's "The Dying Swan." This was the first work danced by the Louisville Ballet, and was also programmed for the 50th anniversary gala. Helen Daigle danced the iconic role; in the intimate setting of the studio, the audience could hear the intentional short, hard breaths as the swan struggles for life, Daigle's arms eerily capturing the sense of the mortal struggle to open and fold her wings.
Later in the evening Christy Corbitt Miller danced the Russian Princess from Act III of "Swan Lake," one of the charming divertissements presented by the candidates for Prince Siegfried's hand in marriage.
The first half of the evening ended with another Petipa variation, the Pas de Deux from "Don Quixote" danced by Kateryna Sellers and Brandon Ragland, both embodying a regal grandeur, and negotiating the breathtaking lifts and swan dives with confidence and apparent ease.
Choreographer Val Caniparoli's long connection with the company was represented by Simpson's staging of a pas de deux from "Lambarena" danced by Jordan Martin and Justin Michael Hogan. Caniparoli's choreography always looks good on this company, and Martin and Hogan are no exception.
Jones' own choreography was represented by "The Trojan Women" and "The Merry Widow." The variations selected placed the former firmly in the world of the other dance dramas that Jones staged. Lexa Daniels was Hecuba, Jones' grandson Rhys Thomas was Astynax, and the eponymous women's ensemble was drawn from the trainee company.
"The Merry Widow" and the Balanchine variation "Square Dance" were least well-served in this studio setting. While it's a lovely idea to represent historic and contemporary posters, costumes, set pieces, and more in the studio, their arrangement left both a busy and sometimes-cramped space for the dancers. Ragland and Ashley Thursby (as Danilo and Hanna) captured the joie de vivre of the Gilded Age, swirling boldly to the almost irresistible waltz of Lehar's music, and yet, when the other nine couples joined at the end, the stage picture was unfortunately muddled, as costumes and bodies jostled visually.
In a different way, Balanchine's long, clean lines and stage pictures were also undermined by the cluttered setting. The seven couples in this piece were never able to put enough distance between the various groupings for the elegant precision needed to embody the cool classicism that is a hallmark of Balanchine's choreography.
Simpson staged two pieces which, I infer from the permissions in the program, may be new to the Louisville Ballet. The Act II Pas de Six from Andre Prokovsky's "Anna Karennina" and the Second Song from Ben Stevenson's "Four Last Songs" provided additional reminders of how widely the connections of three generations of the Louisville Ballet's leadership spread throughout the international ballet world.
The pas de six was a charming, bright beginning to the second half of the evening, and gave O'Dell and Albrecht the opportunity to display their performative. Kateryna Sellers also danced in this piece, with Roger Creel, Phillip Velinov and Jenjamin Wetzel partnering the women.
The Stevenson piece was an intriguing trio danced by Edouard Forehand, O'Dell and Vellinov. Exploring the tension between balance and stillness, as the dancers moved through intricate patterns, almost an oasis between the color and vibrancy of the two pieces before and after this.
It's always good to see something choreographed by a Louisville Ballet member in a studio performance, and Bruzina's "Gloria" is that piece in this program. She staged the first and third sections with Kingma as the young man who discovers treasure and has to discover how that impacts his life and what he will do with it.
These 12 variations are a fascinating snapshot into the range of genres and choreographers the Louisville Ballet has brought to Louisville audiences for decades. As Curran said, the warhorses of the great 19th century classical ballets will always be a staple of a ballet company. Seeing the Tudor and Loring pieces again on Friday serves as a reminder that there is also a place for our more recent ballet history to be incorporated into the repertory.
This is a company that performs story ballets, historic and contemporary, as well as they perform modern, abstract choreography. If this program is a preview of what the 65th anniversary might include, audiences are in for interesting times.


COA students are confident, curious, self-motivated, and eager to take on the world's greatest challenges. We are here to help that happen.
The Annual Fund is the backbone of everything we do.
We ask everyone who is part of the COA community to participate in the Annual Fund. Regardless of the amount, each and every gift is important!
Tuition and endowment income combined are not sufficient to meet all operating expenses, so the Annual Fund fills the gap and brings much-needed support to all programs, in addition to support for scholarships and financial aid. The Annual Fund campaign begins July 1 and runs until the fiscal year's end on June 30. Special solicitation appeals are made in the fall and spring, but gifts are welcome anytime throughout the year.
Strong participation in the Annual Fund is also a way for us to demonstrate commitment and dedication to College of the Atlantic. When applying for foundation or corporate gifts, the percentage of individuals who participate is the most important measure that is used to evaluate community-wide support.
The 2019 summer season features intellectually stimulating cultural programs. A full schedule of summer events will be released in early 2019. All Champlain Society-sponsored events are open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Members of the Champlain Society will have reserved priority seating, and the remaining seats are first-come, first-served.
Students in Introduction to Contemporary Dance and Composition showcase their original choreography for the COA community during a performance at the Thomas S. Gates Community Center.

Vinyl Vault — Wynton Marsalis, First Album
It was 1982, 40 years ago, that Wynton Marsalis released his first album. Marsalis was 19 years old at the time and now, 40 years later, it's interesting to hear this debut release with the benefit of knowing all that came afterward. Simply entitled "Wynton Marsalis," the album was released on the Columbia Records label.
At the time of its release, jazz was suffering one of its periodic bouts of existential angst, wondering whether it could or should go on, whether it was washed up, whether everything had already been done. Marsalis, launched by this first album, jolted the insecure art form and, along with the other young lions bursting on the scene at the time resuscitated and broadened the public's interest in jazz.
The cuts on the album featured different bands and contexts for the young trumpeter. Several of the tracks featured his contemporaries including brother Branford as well as drummer Jeff Tain Watts and pianist Kenny Kirkland. Other tunes featured the band he had been touring Japan with at the time, namely Miles' band: Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams. So, even in the beginning, Marsalis was merging the new with the established tradition.
The extensive liner notes by Stanley Crouch reveal a determined, opinioned young man bound to learn more about jazz and to insert his personality and talent into the jazz world. The liner notes end with a quote from Marsalis, "I want to get the public to understand the real significance and beauty of the music, not by watering it down but by getting to such a place in my art that it will be obvious to all who listen that I'm coming from a great tradition."

Ben Godfrey taking things one day at a time
The Everton defender is continuing his rehabilitation from a devastating injury
By Peter Creer@evertonincanada Sep 7, 2022, 2:00pm BST
Share All sharing options for: Ben Godfrey taking things one day at a time
Photo by Tony McArdle/Everton FC via Getty Images
Time is a funny thing. Sometimes it flies by without any awareness of its speed and sometimes it passes so slowly as we wish it would move faster. For Everton's Ben Godfrey, he has lived both experiences over the past couple of months. The defender was only ten minutes into the new season when an errant back pass crossed the goal line but was not seen by the assistant referee. Play continued and Godfrey responded to the danger of an onrushing Kai Havertz.
In that split second Godfrey knew that his leg had been severely injured. The initial prognosis was promising, but it was then decided that surgery was needed and the long road to recovery would be around three months. Time has slowed to a crawl for him and after a month of recovery it was great to get an update from him in an interview with the Club's pre-match show, Everton Live.
The three-month timeline appears to still be the goal and with the World Cup break arriving at about the same time, it would make sense to use the break to solidify the strengthening of the leg. Realistically, the Boxing Day game at Goodison against Wolves would be the target return date. Sadly, the injury has dashed his hopes of playing in Qatar, but he continues to be positive about his situation.
"Things are going well in terms of the injury. Every day I'm improving and I'm just looking forward to being back. Mentally, it's tough. As players, football is all we know, so for that to be taken away it's difficult to deal with - but I'm lucky that I've got good people at the Club, my teammates, family, friends. Everyone has kept me going, reminding me that it's only a temporary thing and I'll be back soon."
It is clear from the interview that Ben is missing the game, but he understands that the team continues moving forward in his absence. The team started that Chelsea game with Yerry Mina in the middle of a back five with Ben and James Tarkowski on either side. Before the game was finished both Godfrey and Mina were injured and the team was threadbare in the central defender department. A back three was out of the question moving forward and another central defender was needed. Enter Conor Coady.
Godfrey appreciates the new signings and the Blues' newfound solidity in the back, saying:
"They're great additions. Good guys and good footballers - you don't need me to say that because we've all seen them over the years and how good they've been. We've made massive improvements in terms of the personality and additions to the squad. They're great guys to be around and we'll use every bit of that. They'll help us kick on."
The question now must be how Frank Lampard is going to set up his defence when everyone returns to fitness. The manager has historically lined up with three at the back. After the injuries to Godfrey and Mina he shuffled his pack and has used four at the back which has allowed Coady and Tarkowski to begin to build a solid foundation in the middle of the park. Our first clean sheet of the season against Liverpool was something that cannot be ignored.
With Godfrey, Mina, Michael Keane and Mason Holgate also vying for a starting place it will be interesting to see whether Lampard returns to his favoured back three and who will miss out. Six players trying to fit into two or three places is problematic. If everyone stays fit, I believe that someone will be moving on in the January transfer window. Mina is in the final year of his contract and Keane was heavily linked with West Ham. Thankfully, time will answer these questions and you can rest assured that Ben Godfrey will definitely be playing a big role for Everton in the future.
Godfrey tries to put a timeline on it.
"When will I be back? I'm playing it by ear. It'll be a couple of months but I'm just taking each day at a time and when it's right, it'll be right."
Keep working hard in the physio room Ben and get back on to the pitch as quickly as possible. You are missed!


I use to drive past Bäckermann's Country Market (formerly Bäckermann's Bakery & Cheese) and never took notice of the market. It was just another business on the side of the road. One day, I decided to visit the store. I will not tell you how many times I now stop by Bäckermann's every chance I get. I even dare my children to not ask me to stop by there on our way to and from music lessons every week.
Last year many of you toured Bäckermann's with Homeschool Roster and we were able see how they make the delicious foods they serve everyday as well as learn about the Mennonite community. We will see their baking process, tour the store and visit the petting zoo. There will also be an opportunity for you to purchase lunch and dine inside the store or outside on the patio. Yeah, I dare you to not buy any of their baked goods. The cinnamon rolls and chocolate chip cookies are already on my shopping list. And, let's not talk about the breads. Even if you have toured Bäckermann's, another visit is overdue. If anything, it will be a nice lunch day out for your and you.
Bäckermann's (Backermann means "baker man" in German) is a family business and I just love supporting local business.
Suggested age: Kindergarten through adult, but all family is invited to attend.
Schedule: Meet at Bäckermann's at 9:15 a.m. to check in with the event leader. The tour will begin at 9:30 a.m.
Admission: Admission is free for children and adults.
Lunch: You may purchase lunch, which includes a sandwich, chips, one cookie and a drink, for $6.50. You will have the option of turkey, ham or bologna and wheat or sourdough bread. The lunch purchase is optional, but don't miss a Backermann's meal. People drive the distance to purchase the quality meats and fresh baked breads. You will also be able to purchase other lunch and store items the day of the field trip.
Reservation deadline: Reservations will be accepted through Friday, March 9, 2018, which is the deadline or until spaces fill. You will receive an e-mail response once your reservation is confirmed.
