Radio Classique est une radio privée française musicale créée en 1983 et propriété du groupe LVMH au sein de la holding Les Échos-Le Parisien. Elle diffuse principalement de la musique classique et du Jazz. Sa grille contient aussi des tranches d'informations, consacrées à l'actualité économique et politique.

Historique

1983-2005 : de ses débuts au rachat par LVMH

Radio Classique est lancée en  par Pierre Amalou, avec le soutien de Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber. Elle est animée par d'anciens producteurs de France Musique.

À ses tout débuts, elle fait appel aux contributions de ses auditeurs qui  reçoivent le programme détaillé de la station. Elle diffuse aussi quelques messages publicitaires qui tiennent en partie du mécénat, puis fait partie du Groupe Expansion puis reprise par Christian Pellerin, promoteur immobilier.

En 1992, elle est rachetée par la SAGEM et reprise, en 1999, par Desfossés International filiale média du groupe LVMH - Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

2005-2018 : décloisonner la musique classique

À la rentrée 2005, sous l'impulsion de son directeur général Frédéric Olivennes, la station entreprend de décloisonner la musique classique.

Depuis 2007, Radio Classique fait partie du Groupe Les Échos-Le Parisien, pôle médias de LVMH - Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

Depuis 2009, Radio Classique se positionne comme la radio du sens et de l'émotion au service de tous ceux qui ont soif de détente et de culture. Elle a donc adopté une nouvelle signature : « Vie Moderne, Radio Classique ».

Le , Étienne Mougeotte est nommé directeur général de Radio Classique.

En 2013, Radio classique est mise en demeure par le CSA pour publicité clandestine pour une croisière.

Le , la radio annonce un partenariat avec la chaîne Paris Première qui diffusera tous les matins sa matinale.

2018-2022 : renouvellement de l'équipe et des programmes
En mars 2018, Étienne Mougeotte quitte Radio Classique. Il est remplacé par Jean-Francis Pécresse, nommé à la fois directeur de la station et directeur d'antenne, tout en conservant la direction de l'information. Épaulé par Bertrand Dermoncourt qui prend au même moment ses fonctions de directeur de la musique, il recompose la grille de la radio pour la saison 2018-2019, avec l'arrivée de Franck Ferrand, Laurence Ferrari, Pauline Lambert, et le départ de Patrick Poivre d'Arvor et Alain Duault. La signature de la station devient « Radio Classique, et votre vie devient plus belle ».

Au départ de Jean-Francis Pécresse à l'été 2022, Bertrand Dermoncourt devient directeur général de Radio Classique, en charge également des programmes et de l'antenne. La station affirme alors sa volonté de poursuivre sa montée en gamme, en renforçant son positionnement et son identité autour de ses trois piliers : l'information, la musique et la culture.

Depuis 2022 : positionnement réaffirmé autour de la musique, l'information et la culture
Au départ de Jean-Francis Pécresse à l'été 2022, Bertrand Dermoncourt devient directeur général de Radio Classique, en charge également des programmes et de l'antenne, tandis que Guillaume Durand prend la direction de l'information.

Evelyn Lozada forgiving "Basketball Wives" co-star Jackie Christie for their fiery fight last season has several fans began wondering why she can't extend the same courtesy to Tami Roman.
On Monday night's episode, Lozada accepted Christie's invite to see her stage acting debut following a battle that erupted between the two women in season 6, when things came to a head after Christie called Lozada a b— in front of her daughter. After Christie told Lozada she read on the internet that Shaniece is a "build-a-whore," the two got physical and had to be pulled away from one another.
But all those issues were put to rest when Lozada graciously obliged Christie's request to see her on stage.
However, some fans wondered why the "Livin' Lozada" star was unable to extend an olive branch to Tami Roman after she provided proof that it was Jennifer Williams who brought the rumor about Lozada sleeping with Shaunie O'Neal's ex to the forefront. This even after Williams finally apologized to O'Neal for her part in the rumor after previously trying to blame Roman for asking her about it.

Johnny Watt Henry's
Back to Johnny Watt Henry's
JOHNNY WATT HENRY'S. AKA and see "John Henry's (1)." AKA - "Johnny Henry's." Irish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The title references fiddler John (or Johnny) Henry (1922-1997), born at Doocastle, County Sligo, brother of Chicago flute player and piper Kevin Henry. His father was called Batt Henry, entitling the son to be called Watt Henry, according to Finbar Boyle, who knew him. According to his brother Kevin (in his notes to his CD), Johnny was born with albinism, which resulted in his remaining rather home-bound, but giving him time to practice the fiddle. On Matt Molloy's CD it is recorded that Johnny was blind, and Boyle confirms that he was nearly so, keeping his house in darkness because light did not matter. Johnny's mentor was fiddler Pat Kelleher, a contemporary and school-boy with Michael Coleman. A picture of John Henry is on the cover of Reg Hall's "'Round the House and Mind the Dresser." There is a section of Henry's tunes in Bernard Flaherty's book Trip to Sligo (1990).
Source for notated version: flute player Colm O'Donnell (b. 1962, outside Aclare, County Sligo) [Flaherty].
Printed sources: Flaherty (Trip to Sligo), 1990; p. 17 (appears as "Unknown").
Recorded sources: Coleman Center CD CC004, Seamus O'Donnell - "The Mountain Road" (1999. Various artists. "A Compilation of tunes popular in South Sligo." Appears as "Johnny Henry's"). Green Linnett SIF3041, Matt Molloy - "Stony Steps" (1987. Appears as "Johnny Watt Henry's Favourite," paired with "Handsome Sally (1)").

Modern Times Theater..fun for all ages!
MODERN TIMES THEATER Monday, July 9th at 3:00 p.m. at Lowe's Lecture Hall in Johnson, VT.
Back by popular demand, this FREE program is brought to you by the Lanpher Memorial Library, and the Johnson Public Library with a grant from the VT Dept. of Libraries.
The hills are alive with the sound of music in this all-ages puppet production.
"Sweet Music" follows the troubles and travails of puppetry's favorite loudmouth, Mr. Punch as he sings his way through trouble, adventure, and triumph. Included in the cast are the Bozo Brothers, who delight audiences with their dynamic percussive dance routines. This is hand-puppetry at its best in a style that has entertained children for centuries. It addition to the puppet show, the program also features a mini concert, offering selections from an extensive repertoire of early jazz, classic American folk songs and original novelty numbers, performed on the cornet, ukulele, upright bass, five string banjo, and bicycle pump, as well as homemade instruments.
The program can also be paired with a junk music and sound experimentation workshop, in which participants create and learn to play instruments made from everyday household objects.
Rose Friedman and Justin Lander have been making and performing puppet shows together since 2003. They are co-founders of Vermont Vaudeville, Vermont's premier Vaudeville troupe. Librarians say Modern Times Theater "engages all ages with their superb talent, wit and enthusiasm", and "you must, must see them in person"!

Originally planned in the modernist aesthetic by renowned architect Philip Johnson in 1956, The University of St. Thomas is directly adjacent to one of Houston's most prominent museum districts. In 2002, BGKA was given the challenging task of creating a master plan that reconciles recent and future buildings with Johnson's iconic campus core. The plan supports the University's aspirations of growing to 4,000 students while densifying campus fabric and forging a stronger sense of place.

Q: Pass two dimensional javascript array to Controller Action via GET request I'm processing some client data in a js function, and I need to pass the variable to a controller action. This is my function:
function Save() {
        var matrixIds = [];

        //Do something

        //Then create the URL and pass the parameter
        document.location = "ConciliacionItem/DetallesConciliacionManual/" + $.param({ matriz : matrixIds });

So far I've tried with several methods but I can't get to the Controller Action. The only thing that did work was to use an Ajax call like this one:
setTimeout(function () {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: myUrl,
            data: JSON.stringify({
                matriz: matrixIds
            }),
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            traditional: true
        });
    }, 500);

If i do this, I have the following problem: I need to process the data sent from this view, and the result goes to another view, like this:
public ActionResult DetallesConciliacionManual(int[][] matriz)
    {
        //Variable to process
        List<ConciliacionItem> listasAConciliar = new List<ConciliacionItem>();

        //Do a lot of things

        return View(listasAConciliar);
    }

So, what I need to do is to be able to pass the js variable of my function to this action, to continue with the app workflow. Is it possible in any way?
Thanks in advance.

A: You can do it by manual creating of query string:
function Save() {
    var matrixIds = [];

    //Do something

    //Then create the URL and pass the parameter
    document.location = "ConciliacionItem/DetallesConciliacionManual?" + createQueryString('matriz', matrixIds);
}

function createQueryString(sendName, items)
{
    var result = '';
    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
        for (var j = 0; j < items[i].length; j++) {
            result += sendName + '[' + i + '][' + j + ']=' + items[i][j] + '&';
        }
    }

    return result;
}

So you will get a string like
matriz[0][0]=0&matriz[0][1]=1&...

which will be successfully parsed into two dimensional int array for you action

A: You may still use your ajax approach, then after processing your data, you may want to do:
public ActionResult DetallesConciliacionManual(int[][] matriz)
{
    //Variable to process
    List<ConciliacionItem> listasAConciliar = new List<ConciliacionItem>();

    //Do a lot of things

    //Returns another view.
    return RedirectToAction("Action", "Controller");
}

Q: Google ad words - как получить критерии таргетинга например, добавить новый можно как то так:
        $criterion = new AdGroupCriterion();
        $criterion->setAdGroupId($campaignGroup->getId());
        $criterion->setCriterion(new Gender($genders[$genderName]));

        $operation = new AdGroupCriterionOperation();
        $operation->setOperator(Operator::ADD);
        $operation->setOperand($criterion);

        $adGroupCriterionService->mutate([$operation]);

Но изменить уже выбраный нельзя, можно только добавить или удалить. Но для того что бы удалить, например, выбранный критерий пола мне надо получить тот который уже есть, то же самое и с возратом.

A:     $gendersQuery = $adGroupCriterionService->query('SELECT GenderType');

    $genders = [];
    foreach ($gendersQuery->getEntries() as $entry) {
        if ($entry->getCriterion()->getType() === CriterionType::GENDER) {
            $genders[] = $entry->getCriterion()->getId();
        }
    }


Hmm, I don't mind as much pop/electro influences as they want, but I feel the album is lacking some memorable hooks. Might have to listen to it again, but I think I actually prefer Hydra, which was not so coherent but more catchy.
They won't open to any of the shows I'm considering to attend, but I prefer support acts that are at least slightly different than the headliner. Some of the Beyond the Black songs I heard literally sound like WT leftovers.
I like it a lot more than I expected! Even has a hint of old Sirenia, with all the mixed vocals and some harsher parts. Edit: started listening to a couple of Sirenia songs on Spotify again, and I was reminded how bothered I am that they managed to ruin one of the best tracks they made in the last years (The Silver Eye) by such a horrible production.
But I though Perils was still recognizable as Sirenia at least. I literally couldn't tell the difference between their latest album and the recent Xandrias' Eyes stuff.
Would love to watch, but they are not listed here: https://www.wacken.com/en/news/news/news-detail/wacken-open-air-2018-live-stream/ although I did see them on the Magenta page. I watched a bit of the Behemoth performance yesterday with the 360 degree video. The quality was not that high, but I thought it was fun!
Don't feel like translating, but it's basically Floor complaining that her success is not recognized enough in Dutch media, that Nightwish doesn't get airplay at mainstream tv and radio in the Netherlands, and some small things about their Dutch festival show next week. I was a little annoyed by the interview, because I don't get why it's so important to be on small Dutch media when you are a successful artist touring the world, but of course that's her opinion. I love Nightwish and Floor, but if I would get to know them through this interview, I wouldn't really feel the urge to check them out to be honest.
I was there yesterday and it was simply magical! The orchestral version of Amity was my highlight of the evening.
Finally a Ghost thread! I like the new single and can't get enough of their live shows. What I miss a little, is the mystery of Papa Emeritus in his first appearance, but the more light-hearted incarnations of Papa are cool either. I thought they only started 2009 or something, have they been active before their debut that long?

Oakdale Cemetery
Located in DeLand, Oakdale is one of the oldest and largest cemeteries in Volusia county.
The Entrance of the Cemetery
In Volusia County, Oakdale Cemetery is one of the largest and oldest cemeteries and one of their landmarks. Oakdale Cemetery was not always a cemetery though. Back in 1882, it was owned by H.C. McNeil. He was using the land as a park. He called it Sylvan, which is just another word for wooded area. In 1891 a group of ladies got together and were wanting to improve DeLand so they started "The Women's Improvement and Protection Association of DeLand, Florida". In 1892 the group called the owner of the land, Mr. McNeil, and he gave them a quote for the land of two hundred dollars. The only catch was that they had to pay for the deed. These women were slick so as they were raising the profits to get the land through dinners and other sorts of fundraisers, they were selling grave sites that they did not own yet, and it worked. (Cacher)
Since the Oakdale Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in Volusia County there are a lot of people buried there. One unique and important figure who is not widely recognized, contributed to making Florida the citrus capital. His name was Lue Gim Gong. He lived in Carton, China for most of his young life then he moved to the United States with his uncle. He started on the West Coast of the United States then moved to Massachusetts where he meet a women named Miss Fanny. She took care of him when he would get sick during the cold winters. Eventually they moved down to DeLand, Florida. When he was down here he started planting fruit trees until one of the famous orange-tree-killing freezes came and killed all his trees, so Lue went and designed an orange tree that can stand up to the Florida climate. He also made grapefruit trees that produced better tasting and juicer grapefruit. They named the strain of oranges after him, they called them the Lue Gim Gong oranges and they are still grown in Florida. (Lue Gim Gong)
With a graveyard the size of Oakdale's there will be some good people in it like Lue Gim Gong and there will be some people who practiced hate like Roy L Cook. Roy L Cook was the grand high dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. His head stone sits about ten feet high and it is bigger than all the other head stones in the cemetery. That way he could be higher than everyone else and get everyone's attention. He sure gets their attention alright that head stone is the only head stone in the cemetery that gets vandalized by spray paint. The caretakers clean it just like they would any other headstone in their cemetery but after many years of paint on it you can see some of it is still there. His wife and son lay next to him with regular flat headstones. They say his headstone has brought of KKK members to be buried around him but none of the other ones have the KKK with a burning cross on the front of them so it is just hear say just like they say his ghost haunts the cemetery. (Oakdale Cemetery)
The OakDale Cemetery is a large cemetery with a lot of history underneath and much of it untold history. Like Lue Gim Gong, he was the man that made it possible to have orange groves in the part of the state where it gets a little colder. He ended up inheriting land from Miss Fanny and was able to keep doing what he loved to do and was good at doing it. Then you had people like Roy L Cook who were part of the Ku Klux Klan that has a terrible history in Volusia County. He is buried there with many histories with a headstone that sticks out like a sore thumb and does not get good attention as he was probably hoping.
The cemetery is important to DeLand and its history. The author's grandparents are also buried there and local families visit the cemetery to remember and celebrate the history of their community. That is what attracts people to cemeteries especially like Oakdale with its size, age and history around it and in it makes it for a very historical place and an important place in Florida's history.

The Neat Iota is compact in size not performance. It shares the same musicality that distinguishes all Neat loudspeakers. It's compact size means that you can have a high level of sound quality where space is at a premium.
The main drive unit is a 100mm PP cone with a powerful, low-distortion ferrite magnet system, coupled with a finite element analysis- designed suspension system. The tweeter is a 50mm vertical planar magnetic 'ribbon' device. This choice of tweeter is critical, because the tweeter lends the whole speaker its essential character and integrity.
In this context, the tweeter's strengths of superb dynamic contrast and accurate tonal colour are well matched to those of the main drive unit providing the Iota with stunning pace and detail.

Dr Seuss' The Cat in the Hat Play
"The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house. All that cold, cold, wet day."
-Dr Seuss' The Cat in the Hat
After a long wait, we managed to find time and caught Dr Seuss' The Cat in the Hat' Play at DBS ARTs Centre.
We had highlighted this play in our previous post on musicals for kids (Jul to Sep) and we managed to catch the show one day before it ends its run in Singapore.
The Singapore Repertory Theatre @ Robertson Walk
We had no clue what to expect given that we had not been to a play meant for kids. However I had read through the book I have with Daddy and am familiar with The Cat in the Hat.
See Mummy, CAT!
Initially Little Lou was afraid of going into the theater. When the lights dimmed, he would say ' Scare scare' and indicated that he wanted to go out. However when the Cat appeared (Little Lou recognized it from the TV show he watched from Starhub), his fear subsided and he was immersed into the show. He would occasionally point out the cat and tell daddy that it is The CAT on the programme brochure. It helped too when the theater was not pitch dark.
The show is recommended for 2 years old and above, so we were glad it lived up to its recommendation.
The stage was relatively bare, Nevertheless , the blue background and the appearance of the Cat made everything instantly recognizable. Moreover the play follows the book word for word. The stage setting was also similar to the illustrations on the story book. We loved how we could relate to the show and was eagerly anticipating the next scene. Daddy was amazed that even Louis enjoyed the show.
Copyright of The Singapore Repertory Theatre
The show was approximately 35 mins. long. Given the price was $35 for the family tickets, it is a $1 per minute show. Slightly overprice but the experience was worth every cent.
The great thing was the theatre setting was child friendly, ranging from a booster seats and a not so dark theatre. It does help when the theatre are filled with kids, thus setting a little noisy but definitely bearable environment for like minded parents. Afterall you do not expect to stop kids from laughing out loud during the funny bits of the play.
Had a great time
The play was reproduced by The Little Company that specialised in Big theater for Little People.Their previous plays included The 3 little pigs , The Jungle Book, Jack and the Beanstalk and many others.

We would definitely keep a lookout for future shows by TLC as we liked our first theater experience. Their next production for kids would be Fantastic Mr Fox based on a book by Roald Dahl . We intend to revisit the Marine Parade Library to borrow the book. If we like what we read, we may decide to catch the show which starts on 1 Nov.
In the meantime we had a CD from TLC, which is a compilation of their musicals (This is part of the family package for The Cat in the Hat). to entertain us. Louis had already began singing to some of the songs already!

Dot coms are a thing of the past, at least according to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). The international authority over top-level domain names (TLDs) has approved a resolution to expand the list of generic TLDs which will allow companies and organizations to create domains for their brands.
What exactly does this mean? Well, for one, domain addresses will no longer be required to end in .com, .org or .net. For instance, a company could use its actual brand name as the end of the URL, such as .coke or .walmart. Companies could also use more generic names that categorize their domain by industry such as .car or .restaurant. Really, the possibilities are endless. But with countless options, and not to mention thousands of "dot somethings" to remember, how are consumers going to react to this significant change? If we had our guess, we'd say they'll be lost… lost in cyberspace.
Despite the skepticism, large corporations are likely to benefit from the proposed TLD plan. If AT&T can acquire the .att or even the .phone TLD ending, just think of the drastic increase in online traffic that the AT&T site will see. The change could create an immense amount of brand awareness if they're one of the first to use a customizable TLD. However, having the option to end your domain with your brand name won't come cheap. To avoid squatters, the application fee for the new domain ending has been priced at $185,000 with an annual fee of $25,000!
Needless to say, the kinks of this proposed domain plan have yet to be ironed out. It is, however, a remarkable advancement as .coms have been the standard since the Internet's creation in the 1990s. So will Madison+Main make the switch in the coming years? Only time, and technological progression, will tell.

Will steep cuts hurt the country?
By Marcia Clemmitt
A hillside burns behind houses in Newbury Park, Calif., during a wildfire on May 2, 2013. Federal budget cuts triggered by so-called "sequestration" are squeezing programs ranging from firefighting and foreign aid to Head Start and hurricane forecasting. (Getty Images/Kevork Djansezian)
This spring, the first of what could be eight years of across-the-board spending cuts — known as "sequestration" — hit hundreds of federal agencies and programs, from the Pentagon to Head Start. Enacted by Congress in hopes of pushing lawmakers to compromise on a plan to shrink federal deficits, sequestration threatens annual cuts to programs dear to both political parties. In recent years, Washington budget debates have stalemated over Republican demands for cuts to many federal programs the party deems too large and expensive and Democrats' insistence that tax increases be part of any deal. With action stalled on spending for food stamps and farm subsidies and debate raging over proposed cuts to Social Security, compromise seems unlikely. Still unknown is whether the public will eventually oppose the sequester cuts or accept trimmed-back services as the new normal.

November 1st-Okada faces Hosokawa on live Boxingraise show!
A new month kicks off and we're immediately into action with Boxingraise wasting no tume in streaking their first card of November, and it's a pretty good one from Kadoebi Houseki.
The main event of the card, and we suspect the real reason Boxingraise are streamign the show instead of putting it on delay, is a Japanese Light Welterweight title fight that sees reigning champion Hiroki Okada (13-0, 10) defending his title against veteran Valentine Hosokawa (20-5-3, 9). For Okada the bout will be his 6th defense of the title and many have assumed that if he wins he will choose to vacate the title in 2017 and chase the OPBF title, rather than face mandatory challenger Koichi Aso, who he has already beaten twice. For Hosokawa the bout will be a third title bout and if he loses here the odds are that he won't get another at this level.
In the chief support bout we see Japanese ranked fighters facing off with Japanese ranked Featherweight Takenori Ohashi (12-4-2, 8) taking on ranked Super Featherweight Takahiro Araki (9-5, 4), with Araki coming down in weight for the bout. Whilst neither guy looks great on paper they have styles that should gel well and should make for an interesting bout, that both will believe they can win.
Top ranked Japanese Welterweight contender Daisuke Sakamoto (12-8-3, 7) will be in action against unknown Thai Kriangkrai Suksanguan (1-0, 1). Sakamoto, like many Japanese fighters in and around the Middleweights, has a misleading record full of early career setbacks. Just 3 years ago he was 7-8-1 (3) but has since gone 5-0-2 (4) and holds a major win over Japanese champion Toshio Arikawa and will be hunting a title fight in 2017.
On the under-card we'll see the touted Kazuki Saito (1-0, 1) battle against Thailand's Petchmahalert Eminent Air (0-3). Whilst Saito might not be one of the big name Japanese prospects the 24 year old was a very accomplished amateur, going 83-14, and is tipped to do big things in the near future. The Thai has been stopped in his 3 previous bouts and we suspect to see the same happen again here.
We were also supposed to see Yuta Nakagawa (18-4-1, 9) face Keigo Soma (8-11-2, 4) on this card, though that bout has been cancelled.

Low-Polling Democrats Seek Breakout Moments at Iowa State Fair
August 13, 2019 Sexual Health
(Bloomberg) — Andrew Yang waved around a half-eaten turkey leg as he calculated how many such treats one could buy with the $ 1,000 a month he's proposed giving to Americans. Tim Ryan jokingly joined the hordes asking Kamala Harris for a photo before handing his small son over for a photo with her. Kirsten Gillibrand brought her son, Henry, and his new stuffed sloth, Blueberry, onto the soapbox stage.The Iowa State Fair is a rite of passage for presidential contenders, but for the lowest polling candidates in the record-size field, the event took on an extra level of urgency.It was perhaps their final attempt to gin up extra attention and support as they seek to qualify for the September Democratic debate in Houston. If candidates fail to qualify — and only nine have so far– they might start heading off the field.So even though the State Fair itinerary for politicians is steeped in traditional routines — speaking from the Des Moines Register Soapbox, flipping burgers with the Iowa Pork Producers Association, visiting the famed 600-pound butter cow, and biting into some fried food on a stick — candidates were looking for any way to stand out.'Best Week'Asked on "Fox News Sunday" if his campaign was faltering, Ryan, a Representative from Ohio, said, "We've literally had the best week of our campaign," citing the state fair.Others struggled to rise above the crowd."I'm standing out by enjoying myself and having fun eating all the delicious food and watching my 11-year-old having a total blast," said Gillibrand, a New York senator, who's yet to hit either the fundraising or polling qualification threshold for the Houston debate, as she walked down the main concourse of the fair in sun hat and flowery dress.But it was the frontrunners who clearly stood out.Former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the two poll leaders in Iowa, drew the largest crowds at the soapbox and could barely make their way through the crowds as voters muscled in to get a selfie and cameras hovered in front of their faces.Wealth TaxWarren, who operatives say has the strongest Iowa field operation, was greeted with rapturous applause when she spoke about her proposed 2% household tax on wealth over $ 50 million and 3% on wealth over $ 1 billion. Dozens of Warren organizers — most wearing "I'm a Warren Democrat" T-shirts– also dotted the crowd, seeking to connect with voters and gather their information.Meanwhile, candidates like Ryan and Gillibrand mostly made their way through the crowd unnoticed. When one fair-goer walked by the soapbox and was told Gillibrand was speaking, she asked, "Senator Jill Brown?"Ryan similarly faced name recognition problems: "You might not know who I am," he said on the soapbox. "I'm Tim Ryan."The Iowa State Fair rarely vaults an unknown candidate into the top tier or dooms a front-runner. But with hundreds of reporters in attendance and the chance for candidates to speak from the soapbox and exhibit their retail politicking skills in the crowds, it's one of the only marquee candidate events in sleepy August. About one million people typically come through the gates each year.'Reaching Out'"If you don't come to the Iowa State Fair and participate then there's a perception that you're not reaching out to everyday Iowans," said Scott Brennan, a former chair of the Iowa Democratic Party. "It's an opportunity to get your face in front of a lot of people."Former Texas Representative Beto O'Rourke, the once-rising star of Democratic politics who hasn't yet broken out of single-digits in national polls, skipped the fair to stay in his home town of El Paso, the site of one of last weekend's deadly shootings. He paused his campaign but indicated he will return to the trail.The latest Iowa poll released on Thursday by Monmouth University showed Biden maintaining his lead with 28%, but Warren has steadily closed the gap, earning 19% support. They are followed by Harris, the California senator, with 11% and Senator Bernie Sanders, independent of Vermont, with 9%.But, as voters baked under the hot sun and listened to candidate after candidate on the soapbox, they shared a resounding message: the field is full of good candidates, but there are too many in the race.Candidate Overload"After this, there's a lot of them that should be going," said Arlee Brunsvold, a 77-year-old from Moingona. "Half of them should be going because they haven't hit their niche yet."Longtime Democratic operatives agreed, saying they've heard complaints about the field being too unwieldy. The two candidates debates so far, in Miami and Detroit, were each held over two nights to accommodate the many Democratic hopefuls."Just talking to traditional Iowans who attend the caucuses, they are just sort of waiting because the field is so large they can't really differentiate between the candidates," Brennan said.However, Democratic voters also said they appreciate the role some low-polling candidates have played in bringing new ideas into the fold. Many said they hope some of those policy proposals would make it into the Democratic Party's platform next summer, whoever the nominee is.Ultimately, though, it was clear to fair-goers who would be in the race for the long haul."You can tell the staying power of her versus the staying power of Tim Ryan," said Sharon Teale, 62, of Altoona, after Harris and Ryan spoke at the soapbox. "There were hardly any people here. You know right away unfortunately. Tim Ryan has good suggestions. Tim Ryan will be dropped."\–With assistance from Jennifer A.

PHOENIX – As fans entered Chase Field on Saturday night, each one was handed a black baseball cap with a shoulder-length shock of golden curls protruding from the back, a giveaway meant to honor popular and somewhat-shaggy Arizona left fielder Eric Byrnes.
Presumably, the promotion had been scheduled long before the Dodgers acquired Manny Ramirez from Boston and immediately made plans to sell their own caps with fake dreadlocks attached.
A few hours later, when the Dodgers had finally wrested themselves from the misery of an eight-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory over the Diamondbacks in front of a sellout crowd of 49,045, it was the real dreadlocks that had turned golden.
While Byrnes languished on the disabled list, where he has spent two stints this season and where he has been continuously since July 1, Ramirez continued to remind the Diamondbacks why the Dodgers, their closest pursuers in the National League West, had traded for him.
Ramirez homered twice, doubled, singled and scored three runs. For the first time in his 16-year career, he had a second consecutive four-hit game. And on a day when the club dressed and prepared for the first time this season in a clubhouse that didn't have the perpetually grumpy Jeff Kent in it, Ramirez continued to spread his own brand of sunshine, doing whatever he could to inject a little relaxation into a room that for the past week or so had been noticeably, almost-suffocatingly tense.
To make the Dodgers appreciably better, Ramirez still has a lot of work to do. But by reaching base in each of his first nine plate appearances in this critical, three-game series – he finally snapped that streak by grounding out in the ninth inning – he at least has breathed new life into a team that still has a chance to get out of town tonight having won two of three from the first-place Diamondbacks.
Not a great chance, mind you. Brandon Webb will take the mound for the Diamondbacks, trying to become the first 20-game winner in the NL since 2005.
Especially if Ramirez, who never seems all that aware of who the other team's pitcher is anyway, continues to hit the way he has since manager Joe Torre moved him from fourth to third in the order on Thursday at Washington. In three subsequent games, Ramirez is 9 for 13 with three home runs, three doubles, six runs, four RBIs and, in perhaps the ultimate sign of just how dangerous a hitter he is, one intentional walk – in the first inning.
After slugging the second-place Dodgers (66-70) back to within 3<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 games of the Diamondbacks, Ramirez didn't have any answers for his recent surge.
Ramirez gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead with his first homer, a shot to left field off a strangely hittable Dan Haren (14-7).
He doubled and scored on Matt Kemp's homer in the fifth, making it 5-1. And Ramirez all but sealed it for the Dodgers and Billingsley (13-10) when he homered again in the seventh for a 6-1 lead.


I'm going to lose all my street cred by admitting this, but I actually have a very soft spot for Disney. Crowds and ultra crappy food aside, I like Disneyworld and have spent a couple of birthdays in my thirties soaking up the manufactured joy of the Happiest Place In The World. Visiting Animal Kingdom or Magic Kingdom you just need to put everything else aside and just go with it- Mickey and all. Some people drink to lose their inhibitions. I wear the ears.
When wearing Untitled No. 2 by Tristan Brando (the perfumer behind the utterly adorable Monyette Paris) I get a similar feeling of completely mindless joy. It changes every time I sample this perfume oil- sometimes it's a cheerful and luscious fruity floral, other times it's as flat as a lunch from a concession stand. There's something incredibly artificial about Untitled No. 2 and I can't always deal with it. Especially on days when I get more Glade than a real perfume out of it. However, sometimes the opening notes take form of an apple-scented shampoo from my childhood, sweet pudding and a pink drink decorated with an umbrella. It's a bit low-brow but incredibly fun.
Untitled No. 2 is not my thing and is one perfume in the Untitled series I can definitely live without owning a bottle. I like the coconut-vanilla core of this oil, but not much of the stuff surrounding it, unless I'm really in the mood. Sometimes I can lose myself in the frothy fun, other days it's like walking down Main Street, U.S.A. while trying to have a serious conversation or reading important email on your phone. It just doesn't work.
Untitled No. 2 ($65, 8ml) by Tristan Brando is part of the Luckyscent/Scent Bar series of limited edition perfumes commissioned by the Los Angeles perfumes boutique. Available online and in the store.
I totally get your associations with the things sometimes viewed as others as trivial, like the mouse ears. We all need to have our happy places. For me, Juara Candlenut Oil perfume takes me there. I like my favorite faux-tiki spots in Las Vegas, piped in tropical scents in the lounge at The Mirage, that's my bag.
This is one of the best descriptions I've ever read! How charming. And how strange that some scents can be so appealing at times and repelling at others. Have you experienced this with any other perfumes?
Dovey, I'm so glad not to be alone in loving the small world ride :) .
Carrie, now I feel validated :) We all need such places in our lives.
Laura, I find that almost any perfume can feel wrong at times- it's enough just not to be in the right mood and things can go very wrong very quickly. Especially in an extreme weather.

HISTORY OF EAST COMMERCE BAPTIST CHURCH
On May 16,1956 at a business meeting at First Baptist Church they voted to purchase property on which to start a mission. This was under our Pastor Carl Allen. After he left, Grant Jones became Pastor and appointed a Mission Committee which purchased the land on East Commerce where we are still located today. Our first Sunday at East Commerce was on January 4, 1959, as a mission and became a Church on September 27, 1959.
William Stockton became the first Pastor and stayed until 1963. While he was Pastor the chairs in the auditorium were replaced with pews. In March 1964 James Hutson became the Pastor. On October 24, 1965, the church decided to raise money to build an educational building. Reverend James Hutson resigned in December 1967.
On May 19,1968 Reverend James Owens became our Pastor. During the time he was here the church installed a baptistry and purchased an organ. Reverend Owens resigned in January 1972. On August 6,1972, Reverend Murry Mathis became our Pastor. Under his leadership we started a bus ministry. On Febuary 10,1974,the church voted to remodel the auditorium. Brother Mathis resigned Octember 12,1976. On April 3,1977, Reverend Carl Price became our Pastor. On September 12, 1979, the church voted to pave the parking lot adding additional space and bringing the drive way around the building to the road in front of the church. Reverend Price resigned on March 25 1984. Reverend James Hickey became our Pastor on March 2 1986 and he has served our church for twenty three years.
During these years, total church membership has grown from around 400 to just over 800. Two building projects have been completed with the last being an enlargement of the church worship center three years ago which doubled the seating space.
The church is heavily involved in ministry and missions including ministry to children,youth,and adults. A ladies and men's jail ministry was begun and this has been very successful on a weekly basis. Divorce Care ministry is made available to the community during two semesters each year. A Hispanic Church has been started which meets weekly and prior to that English As Seccond Language classes have been provided for the past five years. Adults are involved in a ministry of outreach though FAITH visitation.


S. U. Arun Kumar is a Tamil film director and writer. He was born on 1st January 1983 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. He is a young, talented, smart, director. Till date he has not done more than two movies but these two movies that he has done is different from each other. One movie is comedy whereas the other one is on action thrill. So, as we get from here, there is a huge difference in between these two movies. S. U. Arun Kumar has superbly managed the script and kept everything to make it a success and loved by people. And as wanted by Gods grace he got what he wanted, people loved both his movies. Arun started his career by writing a script for his first film.
He named his debut film as '' Pannaiyarum Padminiyum''. It was a comedy drama. Pannaiyarrum Padminiyum was produced by M. R. Ganesh and the music composer was Justin Prabhakaran. The cast of the movie was ' Vijay Sethupathi', 'Bala Saravana', 'Jayaprakash', ' Aishwarya Rajesh', and ' Tulasi' in leading roles and Sneha and many more were there in supporting roles. Arun got best stars for his movie. The shooting of the film began from January 2013 and was released on 7th February 2014. ''Pannaiyarum Padminiyum'' was also screened at the International Film Festival such as Prague Film Festival, 12th Chennai International Film Festival(CIIF), Habitat Film Festival, Jaguar Film Festival, and 7th Bengaluru International Film Festival (BIFFES) in which it won the special jury award. Not only this, S. U. Arun Kumar's Pannaiyarum Padminiyum was the only Tamil movie to get selected for screening at 19th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK).
After his first movie, Arun started off with his second script where he changed his mind. He thought of something new. In this movie instead of making it a comedy, he went for an action thriller. The story was very well written by Arun. All the characters, elements, all stunt everything was amazing in the film. He named the movie ''SETHUPATHI'' which was directed by him, produced by Shan Sutharsan, music composer was Niwas Prasanna, and the other cast were- Vijay Sethupathi, Remya Nambeesam, Linga, Vela Ramamoorthy, Vivek Prasanna, Master Raghav, and many more. As everything was set to begin shooting, the shoot commenced from September 2015.
The shooting took place in Madurai, Chennai, and Pollachi and it lasted for 50 days. The movie was released on 19th February 2016 and was a huge success. People appreciated the film very much. Everyone those who watch the film gave a positive review which was itself a big compliment for our director S. U. Arun Kumar. Both his movies gave him fame and appreciation from people. People now are waiting for his next movie eagerly on which he is working on. With an interview with Behind wood, Arun Kumar, said '' My next film will definitely be not a police story and I would like to try something different. However, it is also likely to be an action based film. I have the story, but, I have to develop it''. This statement clearly states he is working on a new story and new movie is about to come.
Soori Joins Vijay Sethupathi Once Again!

Goddess and God in the World: Conversations in Embodied Theology is a joint project of feminist theologians and longtime friends Carol P. Christ and Judith Plaskow that emerged from their realizing that they disagree on the nature of divinity. Differing on such a major theological topic came as a surprise to them after having worked together for so many years. Though perhaps only suggested by the subtitle, the method used to create the book is as significant as its content, and the reader is able to enjoy both aspects. By the authors' definition, the embodied dimension arises from their firm grounding of their theological views in their particular life experiences, and it's uniquely effective. The book invites us to ponder these matters along with them in light of our own lives.
In alternating chapters, Part One interweaves Christ's and Plaskow's personal histories along with two background chapters on God in the history of theology and the development of feminism theology, all of it clearly written, inviting and accessible to the nonacademic reader. It's inspiring and consoling to learn in detail about the lives of these two pioneering scholars of feminism and theology. Christ is from California and grew up attending various Protestant churches. Loving relationships with both of her grandmothers and their shared experiences in nature created a lasting influence. Her early years were also marked by the death of a baby brother and deaths of several extended family members in close proximity. Plaskow is Jewish and grew up in New York attending a Reform congregation. Formed by the annual cycle of liturgy and holidays and the Torah, from a young age she was interested in religious matters. In adolescence, reading about the Holocaust proved an important awakening.
Christ and Plaskow met in graduate school at Yale and bonded quickly as women in a male-dominated environment. Both remark on the sustaining nature of their friendship in that challenging setting. Over the course of several more alternating chapters, they describe choices they made, events that occurred, and the evolution of their spiritual beliefs and practices. They reflect not only on experiences but also the emergence of their own writings, along with texts and teachers that impacted them, from the oppressive to the uplifting. The deep questions that drove both their academic work and their spiritual quests provide the narrative's unifying theme. Christ ultimately left Christianity and eventually academia and pursues Goddess theology and practice. Plaskow explored many avenues through feminism but values a continued connection to Judaism for its communal and historical aspects. Their lives took different directions, but they remain close collaborators and have coauthored and coedited numerous publications.
In Part Two, the authors alternately respond to one another's ideas. They have two major differences. Plaskow views divinity as an impersonal creative power, while Christ thinks of it as an individual who cares about and loves the world. Second, Christ regards divinity as intelligent, loving, and good, while Plaskow sees it as encompassing all that is, including and supporting both good and evil. The subject matter is substantive and reading along is like sitting in on an extended discussion. The questions are compelling. How to explain the presence of evil? Is Goddess or God to be found outside the world or in it?
One of the book's major contributions is its model of engaging, respectful dialogue. The approach of genuine curiosity in posing questions to each other and offering challenging comments back makes a heartening contrast to so much current public discourse, particularly because they are friends. Often disagreements with those we are close to create the most difficulty, but Christ and Plaskow wade all the way through it, ultimately affirming the major areas where they do agree.
Personally as a reader, I found myself continually moved by this book. The authors' candid reflections on their lives and the various influences on them, set so effectively in historical context, allowed me to place myself within the continuum. The narrative's long arc provided an appreciation of the ebbs and flows that occur in professional and spiritual life. One of Plaskow's observations evoked an important personal epiphany. She noted that when she left Yale her image of God remained intact but "unbeknownst to me, was being quietly eroded by new ideas and experiences. It remained the case that throughout the decade after I became a feminist that my intellectual explorations ran far ahead of my capacity to fully integrate the ideas I was studying and advocating" (p. 108). Suddenly my own recent exodus from the Catholic Church into a more embodied, creation-centered practice made sense. I felt as though I'd made an abrupt about-face, but really it was the culmination of years of exploration. This insight consoles me greatly in the transition of leaving behind a beloved community.

Foreign Exchange is directly tied to economic conditions, therefore you'll need to take current events into consideration more heavily than you would with the stock market. Before engaging in Foreign Exchange trades, learn about trade imbalances, interest rates, fiscal and monetary policy. Without a firm grasp of these economic factors, your trades can turn disastrous.

When analyzing forex charts, you should be aware that the direction of the market will be in both an up and down pattern; however, one of these patterns will generally be more apparent. When the market is moving up, selling signals becomes simple and routine. It is important to follow the trends when making trades.
Making use of Foreign Exchange robots is not recommended whatsoever. There are big profits involved for the sellers but not much for the buyers. Make smart decisions on your own about where you will put your money when trading.
The stop-loss or equity stop order can be used to limit the amount of losses you face. What this does is stop trading activity if an investment falls by a certain percent of its initial value.
Do not get greedy when your trades go well, and after you lose a trade, you should not attempt to get your vengeance.

Carefully study each and every aspect of trading, and start out small.
Look to the Canadian Dollar if you want a safe investment. It may be hard to tell what is happening in another country's economy, so this makes things tricky. However, the Canadian dollar typically acts in the same manner as the U. S. dollar, which makes it a very good investment.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Zuko voice actor tells live-action star "It's your turn"
Dante Basco, the voice actor behind Prince Zuko in the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series has some words of advice for live-action star
After years in development, Netflix's live-action series Avatar: The Last Airbender is finally pushing ahead with production. Most of the key roles have been cast, with the lead role of Aang being played by young Gordon Cormier.
Kiawentiio Tarbell will play Katara while her brother Sokka will be portrayed by Ian Ousley. The villainous Firelord Ozai – ruler of the Fire Nation – will be portrayed by Daniel Dae Kim.
Prince Zuko, who has a character arc that goes from villain to ally, will be played by Dallas Liu. And Liu has had the seal of approval from Dante Basco, the voice actor behind the character in the original Nikelodeon series. Basco discussed "passing the torch" to Liu at a recent Q&A.
Zuko starts the show as the primary antagonist, only to evolve into a key ally for Aang and his friends. His character development has long been praised by fans, and getting him right will be important for Netflix's new version of Avatar.
Fans will be hoping that the live-action series will be not make the same mistakes as M. Night Shyamalan's live-action movie The Last Airbender, which starred Dev Patel as Prince Zuko. The film is considered a notorious turkey, with a 5% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Dante Basco's sweet advice for Dallas Liu is as follows; "I just had a conversation with the new kid playing Zuko on the show for Netflix – Dallas Liu – and we were talking about the character, and, you know, I was kinda passing the torch, like, bro, it's your turn to play him, how you're gonna play him.
"I'll tell you things about how I did it, and it could help you on your journey, but ultimately, it's your turn to play him how you're gonna play him, wherever that character intersects with you."
Rounding out the live-action cast is Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Kim's Convenience) as Uncle Iroh, a retired Fire Nation general and the wise and nurturing mentor to Zuko (Liu). Lim Kay Siu will play Gyatso, an Air Nomad monk who is the guardian to Aang (Cormier). Lastly, Ken Leung (who appeared in Lost with Daniel Dae Kim) will portray Commander Zhao, a cunning Fire Nation officer looking to progress his career through any means necessary.
The original series, which first aired between 2005-2008, is one of the most critically-acclaimed animated series of all time.
