Probably the best thing about midterm week is its end. Whether it's an exam or a mid-semester project, midterm coursework piles up, and it's more than just overwhelming. But there are ways to minimize stress and maximize productivity without losing your cool.
If you're confused as to what the midterm entails, talk to your teacher or professor before you start studying. What should you be reviewing? What will the rubric look like? Is it written, multiple choice, or a combination of both? These questions will help you organize your studying.
And while some teachers may keep it mysterious, it's well worth a try. It shows interest, it's productive, and educators take note.
Make a study schedule, and be realistic about it.
While this seems obvious, it's often overlooked. It's important to understand your attention span. Can you make it through a two-hour study session, or can you only endure one hour?
And students can overestimate the amount of time or energy they have – sometimes, we don't allot enough downtime between studying, working, and going to class. If you have hobbies, it's important to honor them to maintain a sense of normalcy during midterm time. If you know you're tired when you get home, don't be afraid to take a quick power nap. Allowing yourself small rewards can be a huge motivator.
Are you an auditory learner, a visual learner, another type, or all of the above? You know better than anyone, and this can dictate how you study. Students who retain more information by listening can record themselves reading notes or paraphrasing required readings. Others who learn visually can draw out their notes or create Powerpoint or Prezi presentations. No two students are the same, and it's imperative to know what's best for you.
It's not uncommon for students' brains to just "turn off" after a class or study session. This can be detrimental, forcing you to unnecessarily review content you've already looked over.
Instead, make little sticky notes to put in places you see every day – on your mirror, on your closet door, in your sketchbook or personal journal. Almost unconsciously, you'll be studying these small notes that become a part of your everyday routine.
Study with a group that you know you can work with.
Group projects were fun in elementary school, but in later years, they become daunting. Whether everyone is lazy or just one person is slacking off, working in a group takes a lot of energy and organization.
Before getting together a study group, ask yourself what you need from it. Groups facilitate conversation about the study material and can actually make it seem fun. They also allow different interpretations and explanations of the material that may be easier to understand. And above all, meeting with others who share the same goal will force you to meet your own.
Everyone's different. There are so many ways to reach the same goal, and not a single one works for everyone. To remain calm during midterms, listen to your body and your brain – don't overexert yourself. Of course, sometimes you'll have to force yourself away from a video game or your 20th recommended YouTube video, but it'll all be over soon. You got this.


The green sea turtle and hawksbill sea turtle are the species most frequently observed in Hawai'i. Three other species occur, but are very rarely seen in our coastal waters. The green sea turtle is listed as a threatened species under federal and state law. Hawai'i's green sea turtles have shown a good population recovery in recent years, although they are still plagued with a papilloma virus that causes disfiguring tumors. Hawksbill sea turtles, listed as an endangered species, are sighted much less frequently than greens.
To report a sea turtle in trouble (injured, stranded, hooked, entangled, etc. ) please go to the NOAA sea turtle reporting website. Please report immediately and follow the handling guidelines on the NOAA website above.
To report sea turtle disturbance or legal violation, please call the NOAA Office of Law Enforcement Hotline: 1-800-853-1964 and then call DLNR, Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) statewide hotline: 643-DLNR (3567).
For more information on sea turtles, visit the NOAA marine turtles site and the NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office turtle site. You can also download NOAA's "Hawaiian Hawksbill Sea Turtles" brochure.
Q. There's a turtle on the beach and it looks sick – what should I do?
A. Most turtles that haul-out on the shoreline are just fine. They may lie very still, as if they are not breathing, but that's normal. Please keep your distance; do not try to get close to the animal. They need to be allowed to rest undisturbed. If you see an obvious sign of injury, such as an open wound or entanglement in rope or net, please call the NOAA hotline at (888)-256-9840.
Q. I see a sea turtle that's entangled in rope or net – what should I do?
A. Please visit NOAA's injured turtles website or call the NOAA hotline at (888)-256-9840 for instructions.
Q. What should I do if I accidentally hook a turtle while fishing or if I see a hooked turtle?
A. Please call the NOAA hotline at (888)-256-9840 and follow instructions, and/or visit NOAA's fishing around sea turtles website for instructions.
Q. How close can I get to sea turtles?
A. There is no law specifying the minimum distance people can approach a sea turtle. However, getting close to these animals may constitute a federal or state violation if the animal is disturbed or if your action has the potential to disturb its natural behavioral patterns. NOAA and DLNR recommend, for your safety and the animals' protection, that everyone stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) from all sea turtles. If maintaining this distance isn't possible, keep safety in mind and move away from the animal as carefully as possible, avoiding sudden movements and other actions that might disturb the animal. For wildlife viewers, please enjoy from a distance – use binoculars and telephoto lenses to get the best views without disturbing the wildlife.
All species of sea turtle are protected under Hawai'i Revised Statutes, Chapter 195D and Hawai'i Administrative Rules, 13-124.

Q: How to print a string from java to a Zebra kr203? I am a complete newbie to kiosk printers.
I need to send a string from a java app to a zebra kr203 kiosk printer.
The machine is hooked up to a windows 7 pc and its drivers are installed. Printing test pages works fine.
I have also installed the setup utilities for the printer and they allow sending commands to it through EPL2 language. Again, I am completeley new to EPL2 but I have tried some example commands and nothing worked.
Can someone please write some basic java code to send a short string to the printer?
No GUI needed just a simple command line app.
EDIT: I found some code on google that gets the correct printService but it still won't print anything out.
EDIT NO. 2: I ended up using the Zebra SDK provided on their website. They keep code examples there which you can easily find by googling. I edited out the old code since it is useless.
Using the SDK and examples I figured out that the printer actually uses ZPL2 instead of EPL as I originally thought.
The SDK has its own API for sending commands at it works quite smoothly for me.

A: This is what I ended up using:
String defaultPrinter = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService().getName();
com.zebra.sdk.comm.Connection myconnection = new com.zebra.sdk.comm.DriverPrinterConnection(defaultPrinter,1000,1000);
myconnection.open();
com.zebra.sdk.printer.ZebraPrinter myprinter = ZebraPrinterFactory.getInstance(myconnection);
String command = "^XA\n" +
                    "^FO50,50\n" +
                    "^A@N,20,20,E:TT0003M_.FNT\n" +
                    "^FDUplatili ste XXXX na račun XXXXXXXXXX^FS\n" +
                    "^FO50,150\n" +
                    "^A0,32,25\n" +
                    "^FD"+ date.toString()+ "^FS\n" +
                    "^FO50,250\n" +
                    "^A0,32,25^FDSlavnoska Avenija 19, 10000 Zagreb^FS\n" +
                    "^XZ";
myprinter.sendCommand(command);
myconnection.close();

A: Do you have multiple printers to choose from...or just one printer?
    private void printLabel() {
        try{
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("\\Your Printer Here");
            PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(fos);

            //try with the EPL commands or take a look at the ZPL programming guide
            String commands = "N\n" +
                    "A50,50,0,2,2,2,N,\"" + label + "\"\n" +
                    "B50,100,0,1,2,2,170,B,\"" + label + "\"\n" +
                    "A50,310,0,3,1,1,N,\"" + czas + "\"\n" +
                    "P1\n";

            ps.println(commands);
            ps.print("\f");
            ps.flush();
            ps.close();

    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

This week I want you to be very cognizant of what you say. Your word is law in your universe. So you want to be cognizant... in other words, put a camera right here and watch HOW you do what you do in life; how stand and your body language, but most importantly... WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS. Do your thoughts serve you... or not? You want to have very positive thoughts about your life, about yourself,about your family, about everything... if you can. And it just takes a little time. Change your routine, change your thoughts. Look at things as being positive versus negative. Be careful what you spoon feed yourself. If you spoon feed yourself a lot of the news on TV, you'll be negative. Be careful who you hang around with. If you hang around negative people you'll probably be negative. Talk to yourself in a positive way. Be positive this week. Watch your thoughts. See ya' next week.
Keynote Speaker, Steve Beck, will show your sales staff, customer service reps and managers how to become more cognizant of their thoughts. Positive thoughts yield positive results in life. Negative thoughts yield negative results. Simple concept but easier said than done… for many of us. Have Steve come work with your team to get the job done… with more positive results!

About the Norbertines
Update on Canonization of Norbertines
Fr. Gabriel Wolf, the Norbertine Order's liaison to the Vatican connected to canonization, offers an update on the potential canonization of Norbertines who by character and/or works are deemed worthy of being declared saints.
Bl. Hroznata of Teplá (+ July 14, 1217)
The diocesan process for Bl. Hroznata, founder of Teplá/Chotěšov and the diocesan patron of Plzeň, opened on September 11, 2004; after 14 years it is still not closed. Only the report of the Historical Commission is lacking for this. As soon as the informative process on the diocesan level, together with a translation into Italian is finished, all the documents go to Rome, so that there under the direction of the relator, the positio super martyrio et fama martyrii, an historical critical life-description along with a theological synthesis can be composed. The new bishop of Pilsen, Msgr. Thomáš Holub, ordained on May 30, 2016, assured the Postulator that he would take the case further. The 800th anniversary of Bl. Hroznata's death was festively celebrated on July 14, 2017 with a Premonstratensian Day in Teplá. The diocese also celebrated the jubilee in a worthy manner. Until now there is no sufficient miracle healing process under discussion. Vice-Postulator (since July 14, 2012): Abbot Philip Lobkowicz, O. Praem.
Bl. Bronislava of Cracow (+ August 29, 1259)
Since a medieval life description (vita) of Bl. Bronislava, who for centuries has been venerated especially in Poland and in the USA, is unfortunately lacking, the metropolitan of Cracow has still not responded to the letter of the Postulator of June 6, 2005 (supplex libellus) with the setting up of a tribunal for the diocesan process. Historians are searching further for a medieval Bronislava-Vita which is possibly not more recent than 1359 (100 years after her death). The stream of pilgrims to Cracow is unbroken, especially for her memorial day, on which a triduum is annually celebrated. Until now no satisfactory healing is available for a miracle process.
Vice-Postulator: Prioress Paula Torcynska, O. Praem.
Bl. Peter-Adrian Toulorge of Blanchelande (+ October 13, 1793)
The beatification of Peter-Adrian Toulorge on April 29, 2012 by Cardinal Angelo Amato in the Cathedral of Coutances was a significant event for the region. Every canonry received a DVD of the celebration sent by mail at the 1st liturgical memorial (October 13, 2013). A few days before the resignation of Benedict XVI, the Breve Apostolico of the beatification signed by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone de mandato Summi Pontificis and marked with the papal seal was given to the Order. It was handwritten on parchment. The Postulator sent a translation of the Latin text in German, English and French to all the canonries as a pdf file. The canonry of Tehachapi had a new painting prepared; the canonry of De Pere had a wood carving done in the framework of its cycle of saints. The German speaking circary of the Order issued an 84 page edition of Communicantes with the title "In deine Hände lege ich mein Leben. Der Selige Petrus-Adrian Toulorge OPraem" (Into your hands I commend my life): Communicantes 27/2014. In this issue are found all the available texts in connection with the beatification including references by Bernard Ardura and Gabriel Wolf. Some canonries ordered banners of the painting of the beatification celebration in two sizes (1.50 x 1.00 and 0.75 x 1.00 m); these were sent at the time. The proper liturgy (liturgy of the hours: brief vita, second reading, responsory, prayer), which was approved on June 16, 2011 by the Congregatio de Culto Divino (Prot. N. 976/11) was sent to all the canonries by the Liturgical Commission in 2013 in 10 languages in addition to Latin. Furthermore, pilgrimages and memorial days are enjoying greater popularity. The new bishop of Coutances, Msgr. Laurent Le Boulc'h, whom the Postulator met on July 26, 2014, assured his support. He preached at the Memorial Day of the new blessed in 2017 at Muneville-le-Bingard. A new edition of the prayer card is not finished yet. Until now no satisfactory healing is available for a miracle process. Vice-Postulator (since October 8, 2017): Marc Beuve, President of the "Association of the Friends of Blessed Peter-Adrian Toulorge".
Emily Podoska of Cracow (+ May 22, 1889)
Unfortunately no supplementary sources about her virtues (perhaps her work as a teacher at Zwierzyniec) can be found to continue the process in Rome. Therefore, the cause "rests" on the conclusion of the relator, Rev. Zdzislaw Kijas, OFMConv from the year 2011. On September 7, 2015 her birthplace, Grajów, celebrated the 170th birthday of the Servant of God; a small commemorative publication was produced with numerous pictures. In Cracow her grave tends to be visited. Until now there is no satisfactory healing for a miracle process. Vice-Postulator: Sr. Dorota Goldstrom, O. Praem.
Bl. James Kern of Geras (+ October 20, 1924)
The 90th anniversary of the priestly ordination of Bl. James Kern was celebrated by the Vice-Postulator, Evermod Fettinger, on July 1, 2012 (the day of his first Mass) as well as by the Postulator on October 19, 2012 in Geras and on October 20, 2012 in Vöcklabruck; "Radio Maria" broadcasted about a 20 minute catechesis in Stift Geras. The veneration was evident by the pilgrims in Geras as well as the fact that the majority of relic requests from all parts of the world were for James Kern, more than for St. Norbert. Until now there is not a satisfactory healing for a miracle process. Vice Postulator: Rev. Evermod Fettinger, O. Praem.
John Kieran/Eoin O'Mulkern of Lock Ce (+ November 21, 1580)
The former postulator, John Hanly PP in 1998 wrote an 1164 page documentation about the martyrdom of Archbishop Richard Creagh and 41 companions; 16 pages of the work, of which the protocol number is 114, is about the Premonstratensian Abbot Eoin O'Mulkern, called "John Kieran". The group was separated from a case whose members were beatified on September 27, 1992. Archbishop Diarmund Martin of Dublin did not respond to a letter of Gabriel Wolf from February 4, 2013 in which the latter asked if the diocese is the actuator (actor) of the cause and would continue it. Judith Borer, who is the responsible protocollist of the Congregation, shared with Rev. Gabriel that the Postulator John Hanley died. In 2010 Rev. Daniel Ols, OP was named Relator of the cause in the Congregation but he has never made contact with a postulator of the "cause of Richard Creagh and Companions". Oddly enough the two volume work of 1998 is not in the Congregation's archive. There are many questions that remain which finally only the Diocese of Dublin could answer. After consultation with the Abbot General the Postulator will not pursue the cause further.
Henry Van Kasteren of Averbode (+ August 25, 1942)
Gerard Van Kasteren was born in Turnhout on July 22, 1881, entered the Abbey of Averbode in 1900 and received the name "Henricus". After his profession in 1902 and his ordination to the priesthood in 1905 he went with four confreres to Brazil, where he taught in the Study Seminar of Pirapora as well as being superior institutorum of Averbode in Brazil (1936 until his death), as rector of the College of Jaú (1936-1941) and of the seminar of Pirapora (1941 until his death), as novice master and worked in the care of pilgrimages. He died in a tragic way on August 25, 1942 of a heart attack on the beach of Itanhaém after he had saved two seminarians caught in distress. The attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
After talks and consultation with the Abbot General, the Postulator will not open the cause.
Paul Soucek and Companions of Nová Řiše (+ 1943 Auschwitz/Oświęcim)
The opening of a beatification process suggested at the General Chapter of 2012 for Abbot Paul Soucek and four of his confreres of the Canonry of Nová Řiše who lost their lives in the Concentration Camp at Auschwitz in 1943 was begun intensively: the appointment of Abbot Marian Kosík as Vice-Postulator on May 29, 2013, conversation with Bishop Vojtěch Cikrle of Brno on October 21, 2013, request in Rome for the transfer of competence from Cracow (Archbishopric of Auschwitz) to Brno on December 6, 2013, printing of holy cards in German, English, French and Czech, as well as annual days of prayer for beatification on Sunday after May 29, the day on which the confreres were transported from Nová Řiše. After collecting available material and above all consulting possible witnesses, the Vice-Postulator, Abbot Marian Kosík advised the Postulator at the Hroznata Feast 2017 not to open a diocesan process because the opinion among the people vis à vis Abbot Paul is not entirely favorable. Hence the Postulator, after consultation with the Abbot General, will not pursue the cause (martyr-process) further and will share this with the Bishop of Brno. Update: In October 2017 the healing of a man ill with cancer was reported; Father Gabriel at this point in time has no documentation at his disposal.

Quenya, as attested in its various conceptual stages, is a language with an elaborated verbal structure, as we can see in various grammars, conjugation tables, notes, and examples written by J.R.R. Tolkien through the years. Part of such elaboration is a system of compound tenses that was fully described in two different periods of time: first in the Early Qenya Grammar written in the 1920s, and later on in the texts about the Quenya Verb Structure that he composed in the late 1940s.
This article analyzes and compares those descriptions, as well as the information that can be found or inferred about them in various notes that Tolkien wrote in later years. This analysis will demonstrate some ideas and changes in Tolkien's conceptions of the elements that are used in the formation of compound tenses, such as the system of basic tenses and participles in Quenya.
The so-called Early Qenya Grammar (EQG) is the earliest extant comprehensive grammatical description of the Quenya language (at that time spelt Qenya), which Tolkien wrote between 1920 and 1925 during his time at Leeds (PE14:37). It is extant in two versions: an original manuscript, and an unfinished typescript that expands some points.
The section concerning verbs, which only exists in the manuscript version, describes a detailed conjugation of the regular verbs exemplified by the stem verb tul‑ come, together with some incomplete examples of mat‑ eat (PE14:57).
This description includes a list of nine compound tenses formed by the combination of the active participle of the main verb, which could be inflected in three basic tenses (present, past, and future), and the auxiliary verb be, also conjugated for those three tenses.
The conjugation of the three basic tenses is marked by the suffix that follows the verb stem. The suffix of each tense is the same in all verb forms. The present tense is formed with ‑i‑ (lowered to ‑e in final position), the past is formed with ‑ie plus some type of stem strengthening, and the future with ‑uva. Thus, the singular present form of tul‑ is tule, the past is túlie, and the future is tuluva. The examples with mat‑ show a different way of strengthening the stem in the past tense, by means of n‑infixion instead of stem-vowel lengthening.
The conjugation of the verb be follows the same pattern, but is seemingly stemless, such that the singular forms are: present e, past ie (or alternatively ye, hye), and future va.
Active participles are formed by addition of the infix ‑nd‑ to the inflected verb form, reduced to ‑n in final position. Thus for tul‑ we have the present participle tulin(d‑) coming, past participle túlien(d‑) having come, and future participle tuluvan(d‑) going to come.
The nine resulting compound tenses given in EQG are presented in table 1, which displays them in a three-by-three layout that allows a clearer comparison with the forms that are found in later sources. Each entry of the table shows the indicated tense, the example with verb tul‑ in singular form, and its English gloss.
It may be noted that there is some redundancy between compound tenses. For instance there are two future imperfect tenses, resulting from the combinations of present participle + future (tulinwa), or future participle + present (tuluvande). These competing forms might have some minor difference in meaning, as do their English glosses, or be used in different syntactical contexts; or perhaps not all the forms were normally used, but only given in the list for the sake of completeness.
On the other hand, the auxiliary verb of the periphrastic forms can itself be inflected as a compound tense, and thus yield further compound tenses of the main verb. Tolkien gives the examples yende tulin has been coming and yendie tulin had been come, constructed with the past participle of be (*yend‑ having been) and the present participle of come.2 The nine compound tenses of the auxiliary verb combined with the three participles of the main verb would produce 27 secondary compound tenses of that type, although Tolkien notes that such forms were only made occasionally, so many of those forms might be rare or even grammatically awkward.
We may also mention other unattested, but likely, variations of the compound tenses in EQG. For instance, we may safely assume that all the forms given in table 1 would have a plural variant ending in ‑l, which was the regular plural marker of verbs at that time (including the auxiliary verb be). In the forms of the first column, the final ‑e would be raised back to the original ‑i before the consonant, so they would be *tulindil, *tuliendil,3 and *tuluvandil. All the other cases would be identical to the forms given in the table plus ‑l.
In addition, although the past in ‑ie is said to be the commonest (PE14:56), many verbs also have a past form ending in ‑ne (without stem strengthening), like the stem verb kar‑ make (past karne) and most non-stem or derivative verbs like tanga‑ beat (tangane), tantila‑ hop (tantilane), etc. (PE14:58). We may expect that the past active participle of those verbs would also contain ‑ne‑, such that their corresponding compound tenses would be perfect *karnende, pluperfect *karnendie, future perfect *karnenduva, etc.
The present of such derivative verbs is in most cases the bare stem (normally ending in ‑a), and their future forms might also show some variant endings like ‑uva, ‑va or ‑wa. But it would be phonologically acceptable to create active participles for those verbs in the regular fashion of tul‑ and mat‑, by addition of ‑nd‑, like *tangan(d‑) beating, or *lokatwan(d‑) *going to sprout (PE14:58; PE12:55 s.v. LOHO‑). Since the inflections of verbs are said to be always pretty regular (PE14:56), it is possible that many derivative verbs form compound tenses in that way.
In the 1940s, about twenty years after EQG, Tolkien worked on a larger historical and descriptive grammar about the Quendian languages that also contained a long chapter about verbs, published in Parma Eldalamberon 22 together with other texts under the collective title of Quenya Verb Structure. The first version of that chapter contains a section that Tolkien titled Quenya Verbal System (QVS), composed around 1948, about the time when he was finishing The Lord of the Rings (PE22:85).
Present, specifically a continuous or imperfect tense that can only be used of what is happening 'now', implying a continued action that began before the immediate moment and is likely to continue for some time (PE22:95). The present tense in strong verbs is typically formed by stem vowel lengthening plus suffixed ‑ā, like kára is making or túla is coming. Some classes of weak verbs cannot form a present distinct from the aorist, so they use other verb forms for that function, as will be explained later on. The present imperfect participle is formed by appending the suffix ‑lyā to the verb stem. In strong verbs the stem vowel is not lengthened, but repeated between the stem and the suffix, e.g. karalya making [now]. The suffix is dissimilated to ‑rya for stems ending in l, e.g. tulurya coming [now] (PE22:107).
Past & Perfect. The two characteristic endings of the past tense in EQG, ‑ne and ‑ie, have in QVS specialized grammatical functions, for the simple past (referring to an action thought of as over) and perfect (referring to an action that was completed in the immediate past, but the effects of which are still present), respectively (PE22:95–96). The suffix -ne is considered the weak past inflexion, since it appears regularly in the past form of many derivative verbs (e.g. ortane raised from ortā́‑, PE22:114, 117). In strong monosyllabic verbs, the past tense is typically marked by final ‑e, without n but normally accompanied by n‑infixion or another type of stem strengthening, e.g. tulle came from tul‑, mante ate from mat‑, tyambe or tyáve tasted from tyav‑, etc. (PE22:102–104). Strong perfects are regularly formed by lengthening and prefixion of the stem vowel, like utúlie has come or akárie has made (PE22:103); whereas not all weak verbs are capable of producing such perfect forms, and some present other types of stem strengthening like ortanie has raised. Early classical Quenya had both past and perfect active participles, but the distinction betweeen them was eventually lost. The resulting mixed past-perfect participle is formed by adding the suffix ‑lya to the stem, either inflected for past or perfect (without augment), e.g. karnelya having made or túlielya having come; the preferred tense seems to be influenced by phonology, for instance it could be the one that least obscures the verbal stem (PE22:101, 108).
Future. The basic inflection of future forms is basically the same as in EQG, marked by the suffix ‑uva, or only -va in some weak verbs like ortáva *will raise (PE22:117). The corresponding participle is regularly formed by adding the suffix ‑lya to the future stem, e.g. karuvalya about to make, tuluvalya about to come, etc. (PE22:109).
QVS provides descriptions and examples of compound tenses based on some of those participles, but not all. In fact the aorist participle is qualified as just an ordinary substantival adjective … treated as a noun (PE22:106). On the other hand the present is the most used active participial form, often employed adjectivally as well as verbally (PE22:108), and QVS gives examples in which it is used verbally, with present, past and future secondary inflections (PE22:101, 115, 117). There are also examples of the past-perfect participle being used with present and past inflections (PE22:104, 108, 117). Table 2 shows the structure of such compound participial tenses, with the labels that Tolkien gives them, where the forms based on the future participle have been added for the sake of completeness and to facilitate the comparison with EQG. That includes new types of compound tenses, including long variants of basic tenses like present imperfect or perfect, and consuetudinal tenses, i.e. denoting habitual action. The examples are given for the strong verbs tul‑ come and kar‑ make, which are also present in many of Tolkien's own examples, and for the weak verb ortā́‑ raise.
It may be noted that many of the examples in table 2 are not actually attested in QVS (those marked with an asterisk). In fact there is no compound tense that contains attested forms for both strong and weak verbs. The reason is that the full description of the verbal conjugation is only given for strong verbs, and weak verbs are explained in a section that basically comments on the points where they differed from the strong conjugation.
That apparent hesitation in the present secondary inflections might be related to a major change in the conception of the verb be during the composition of QVS (PE22:122–123). At some point Tolkien found that the root YE that originally was the base of that verb was unsuitable, and replaced it by Ē, changing also the full forms for the different tenses, thus: aorist-present yē > ëa, past yene > ëane, perfect yénie > ēne, future yéva > ēva or ëava. But those forms became appropriate only when be had the sense of exist, and in other cases (e.g. when used as a copula) it was just omitted or replaced by other verbs with a more physical meaning (cf. PE22:124–126), although the short past né and future vá of the original version were allowed to stand. Therefore, while the endings of the past and future compound tenses might still be seen as an inflected form of the auxiliary verb with this new conception, the morphology was not so clear for the present tenses. In any case, we do not know if this motivated a conceptual change only for the forms with present secondary inflections, or if the idea of an auxiliary verb in participial compound tenses was fully abandoned.
Past imperfect, formed from present imperfect + past inflections, e.g. kárane was making or túlane was coming (PE22:100–101).
Future perfect, formed from perfect + future, e.g. akáriéva shall have made, utúliéva *shall have come, etc. (PE22:105). Tolkien added that the augment is often omitted, i.e. that those examples might be presented as *káriéva, *túliéva. The loss of the augment could be related to the extension of the verb form with a long and accented suffix, which might have weakened the initial syllable.
Finally, it may be noted that the Quenya conjugation in QVS also includes plural and dual forms, formed with final ‑r and ‑t, respectively, as well as pronominal objects (PE22:99). This also applied to the compound tenses (PE22:115), so for all the examples mentioned above we can form variants like *tuluryaner [they] used to come, etc.
The compound tenses described in both EQG and QVS are presented side by side in table 3, with examples of the verb tul‑ come, which is the one used in EQG for the list of such compound tenses, and also has examples for most tenses in QVS. In a couple of cases the long weak forms are also given for the verb ortā́‑ raise. All tenses are formed by a participle (present, past, or future, abbreviated as "pr.p", "pa.p", "fut.p", respectively) or a tense stem ("pr.t", "pa.t", "fut.t", or perfect), normally followed by a tense inflection; and the morphology of each case is presented next to the corresponding example.
Most compound tenses are present in both texts, although their morphology is different in many cases. The language in QVS tends to use the basic tenses more, either alone or in composition, for the same syntactical function as the participial compound tenses of EQG. Moreover, the conjugation of the present participle in QVS is chiefly dedicated to consuetudinal tenses that did not exist in EQG. Only the pluperfect is unequivocally formed the same way in both stages, by composition of past participle + past inflection. In addition the present imperfect and perfect tenses, which in QVS have their own proper inflections for strong verbs, also have long forms for some weak verbs and poetic usage, formed as in EQG — by present or past participle, followed by present inflection.
The future imperfect tense has various peculiarities. EQG presents two alternative formations: pr.p + future tulinduva will be coming, or fut.p + present tuluvande is going to come. Both variants refer to a future action with an earlier beginning; but in the latter the focus is rather on the present moment, when the future action is anticipated. QVS also presents a future imperfect formed with pr.p + future, which is also used as consuetudinal future; the only example of that compound is given for kar‑: karalyuva, translated (with implicit first person) as either I shall be making or I shall go on making, it will be my habit to make (PE22:101). That form coincides both in meaning (partially) and morphology with one of the future imperfect tenses of EQG. On the other hand, for the second variant there is no compound tense in QVS, but the "simple" future can also be used with that sense, thus karuva [I] am going to make, as well as shall/will make (PE22:105). In fact it seems that the Quenya future inflection ‑uva had originally that specific meaning, derived from the Eldarin root BĀ‑, BANA that meant go, proceed, and also related to the tense-vowel u, naturally produced in inceptive verbs with the notion of begin to do something now (completed later), like kelu begin to flow (PE22:97, 114).
There are various texts later than QVS with some details that are relevant for the discussion of Quenya compound tenses and verbal formations based on active participles. One of them is the second version of the Eldarin Verbal Structure (EVS), the section that preceded QVS. That version was written soon after finishing the first one, around 1951 or earlier (PE22:91), and although it is limited to the discussion of Common Eldarin verbal features, it also incorporates some ideas that had been developed in QVS. There were, however, some changes that may be noted.
One that directly relates to compound tenses is found in the discussion of the Quenya future suffix ‑uva < ‑ubā, derived in this case from the verbal root UB ponder, have in mind. Although Q. matuvanye I shall eat < mat-ubā-njē originally meant I intend to eat (similarly to the conception of QVS),9 the newer text states that the Quenya inflection had become an undefined future, and on the other hand there was an A[ncient] Q[uenya] form for the future in the past (i.e. future imperfect) formed with the past tense of ub‑ (*umbe) and the aorist infinitive of the main verb, e.g. umbeste mate he was going to eat (PE22:132, with ‑ste seemingly being the third person subject pronoun). An apparently earlier, isolated note contains a similar commentary, although the O[ld] Q[uenya] past tense of ub‑ is given there as umne, and the future-past in that case is not a periphrastic form, but a compound tense made of the basic verb stem followed by umne, i.e. matumne (VT48:32).10 In either case it is not clear whether the Ancient/Old Quenya formation was later lost, such that the undefined future can also express the notion of future imperfect as in QVS, or if there is another specific tense for that purpose.
Another modification that would have affected the development of Quenya compound tenses is found in the note on the Eldarin suffixes used for the formation of active participles, which in the new text are ‑lā, ‑yā, or combined ‑lyā.11 They are said to be adjectival endings that were not organized as parts of conjugation in Eldarin, and merely expressed in adjectival form the sense of the verbal stem (PE22:136). Similar statements are given in QVS about the aorist participle formed with the suffix ‑yā́ and the passive participles, which are not used in the compound expression of verbal notions (PE22:110), although in QVS those statements exclude the active or true participles. The more general statement in the revision of EVS raises the question of whether Tolkien might have fully abandoned the idea of participial compound tenses, but the information that we have at our disposal does not provide a definite answer. In later notes and instances of Quenya participles, they seem to be used exclusively as adjectives and not in verbal forms (cf. Måns Björkman's examination of that topic, 2013); but the mere absence of such examples does not mean that they could not be formed, and the cited note about the Common Eldarin grammar does not limit the possibility of the development of conjugated participles in later Quenya. In a much later note, dated 1967, Tolkien wrote that present participles were hardly part of the conjugation, echoing the previous statements (PE17:68), but the examples that accompany that note are participles ending in ‑ya, as are the aorist participles of which the same was stated in QVS, so it is possible that Tolkien used the term of present participle broadly with that sense, not referring to all active participles. In any event, at least non-participial compound tenses were allowed to stand, as seen in an even later text (c. 1969), which contains a reference to past continuous like mātane was eating, virtually the same as the past imperfect presented in QVS — although it was originally written with ‑nte, i.e. mātante, etc. (PE22:157).
Regarding the participial compound tenses, if they had been kept in later stages, their shape would have definitely changed. The active participles ending in ‑lā could remain, but the combined ‑lyā would eventually be abandoned, as explicitly indicated in another late note where Tolkien wrote that lya clashes with ‑lya, thine (PE22:152). In the same note he emended the (past and future) active participles kárielya, kăruvalya to káriéla, karuvaila — the aorist karil(y)a was allowed to stand, but possibly he meant to reject the alternative form with y as well. In fact, in another text of the same time concerning Quenya verbal adjectives (PE22:153–156) we find the same three participles with ‑la, and no trace of the ‑lya variants.
Yet another interesting point of those late texts is that, unlike in QVS, there are no distinct aorist and present participles in them: only the form based on the aorist stem exists (karila), which according to an annotation is also used as present. Tolkien's commentaries on present/aorist active participles present several variations. We have the two different forms given in QVS (with ‑ya/‑ia for aorist, ‑lya for present imperfect), the aforementioned unique late form c. 1969 with ‑la, and the present form with ‑ya mentioned in the note from 1967 that seems to be used as aorist too. However that note indicates that such an ending was only used in compounds like melumatya honey-eating or saukarya evil-doing, so it might coexist with the aorist-present participles ending in ‑la mentioned in the other commentary. Now, while ‑ya was always added to the uninflected stem, the verb form to which ‑l(y)a was added varied over time. In the final text of QVS it is the verb stem followed by its basic vowel, but in a previous, rejected fragment the connecting vowel is always a, e.g. silalya shining; in the cited late commentary, ‑la is added to the aorist stem (karila); and in the late version of The Last Ark (dated probably from near the end of Tolkien's lifetime, PE16:53) we see it added to present stems, e.g. sisílala shining (MC:222) — or *twinkling, glistening, cp. sisilla in PE22:136.
Compound tenses increase the possibilities for a language to express actions that take place, start, and end at different times with respect to the moment in which a sentence is made, and whose effects may have different durations. We have seen how Tolkien devised various ways in which Quenya could form such compound tenses, as detailed in two long grammatical descriptions about that language. It is remarkable that outside these texts there is little information about such compound tenses. In fact there is no clear example of them in the poems, excerpts, or phrases in Quenya that have been hitherto published, and there are only some isolated notes that are directly related to this topic in a couple of later texts.
The characteristic way of making compound tenses in EQG, through the aggregation of the verb be or tense inflections to active participles, was constrained in later stages, with explicit comments about the exclusive use of such participles, at least some of them, as adjectival forms. However this does not necessarily mean that Tolkien fully abandoned the idea of compound tenses, but that he had developed other ways of expressing them. As it seems, in later stages Quenya relies more on tense-inflected verb stems, rather than on participles. And in fact the basic tense system incorporates some forms (present imperfect, perfect, future) that could also be used to express some of the compound tenses of EQG.
1. We might have expected *e túlien and *túliende, with lengthened stem vowel as all the past forms of tul‑ in the table of the basic conjugation (including the past participle). But actually the u is short in all the examples of the compound tenses. Tolkien makes no comment on this, and while it's possible he simply neglected to mark the vowel length in those examples, we preserve the examples as published throughout this article.
2. The past active participle of be is given only in its full forms ien, yen, yenda, but the stem *yend‑ can be assumed. Yendie tulin is glossed as had been come, although taking into account that tulin is a present participle, the actual intended meaning might be *had been coming.
3. Or maybe *túliendil, with the expected long stem vowel for the past participle (see note 1).
4. The aorist was not really new after EQG. It was already included in the tables of Qenya Verb Forms composed about the time of the Qenya Lexicon (PE14:25–34), although the morphology was different at that time. There the aorist was described as Indefinite or Habitual or Gnomic.
5. QVS presents five classes of the so-called weak or derivative verbs, which are distinguished from the strong verbs of simple monosyllabic stems. These five classes differ from each other by the way in which their stems are extended (by addition of consonants or vowels, suffixes, etc.), but in four of them the stems typically end in ‑a. The details of the weak inflections that are discussed in this article normally apply to one or various of the weak verb classes, but not to all.
6. The past-perfect participles chosen for table 2, túlienya and karnelya, are taken from PE22:108, where they are given as the forms of later classical Q[uenya] and TQ (i.e. Tarquesta, the spoken variety of Quenya). Akárielya (but not *akarnelya) is also given there as the specific perfect participle that existed in early classical Q.
7. It is possible that when Tolkien wrote the paragraph about the long imperfect in PE22:116 he still had in mind the original idea previously given for the long perfect in PE22:104; in fact the wordings of both explanations are very similar to each other, exchanging the verb nahta‑ slay for fara‑ hunt. Orome (…) faralye might be the compact form of *Orome (…) faralya ye — cp. the original Orome nahtalya ye; and the uninflected faralya, which is given as the form used to express I am (on this ocassion engaged in) hunting, might be part of a complete phrase like *ni yē faralya, or using the coalescent form of pronoun + be (PE22:123 n.130), *nie faralya — cp. ni yē (nie) nahtalya in PE22:104 n.25.
8. The conditional glosses of tuluváne and utúliévane are not provided by Tolkien, but inferred from the context. For (a)kariéváne Tolkien actually wrote would have gone; but there gone must be a mistake for made.
9. The 1st. singular future of mat‑ in QVS, however, would not have been matuvanye but *ni matuva, with the subject pronoun before the verb. This is a point where Tolkien's ideas fluctuated over time: in the Qenya Lexicon and in conjugation tables written between EQG and QVS, the person is part of the suffix that defines the verb inflection (PE14:23, PE16:116–128), whereas in both EQG and QVS it is expressed by pronouns that precede the verb. In the revised EVS the subject pronoun is again suffixed (as eventually in The Lord of the Rings as published, and later texts).
10. The note cited in VT48:32 is apparently dating to the early 1940s, thus prior to QVS and the first version of EVS. However the etymology of the future suffix ‑uva and the examples given in that note are very close to the modified explanation that Tolkien wrote in the revision of EVS around 1951. The two alternative past forms of ub‑ are cited as strong past tenses: umbe as a basic past form of intransitive stem with suffix ‑nē (PE22:132), and umne abbreviated as str. pa.t. (VT48:32). Both show the medial phonological developments of verb stems ending in ‑b, mentioned as historic forms of the strong past in QVS (PE22:102). These observations address the question raised by Patrick H. Wynne with respect to the type of past tense represented by umne in his commentary to the isolated note.
11. The endings given here as ‑yā, ‑lyā were actually written as ‑jā, ‑ljā in that text. The change of y by j in that context is just a variation in Tolkien's orthographical conventions, and here we stick to y throughout the article for the sake of simplicity.

Noddevelt supplies plastic grids for the footing of horse exercisers and walkers.
Why using plastic grids in your walker?
Like building a horse arena or riding arena, it is important to have your horse exerciser well drained. It makes it possible to use the exerciser year-round. Build the soil in various layers for a good drainage. But when the layers of rubble, gravel and sand mix together the soil drainage ability will quickly diminish. Plastic grids ensure that the top layer is kept separate from the sub-layers in the horse exerciser or walker.
Horses always create a walking track in an horse walker or exerciser, which makes a rut in the surface. Plastic grids prevent the horse from making a deeper rut. The grids are best to be filled with gravel. The plastic grids in combination with the gravel provide for a stable base for the top layer of around 5 centimeters. The sand of the top layer will stay better on the bottom layers. Eventually, the grids ensure a more solid surface and you barely will have to rake.
The soil of an exerciser or walker in which concrete clinker bricks are placed are likely to cause injuries. Horses constantly walk round and round and because they lean a little to the inside in a turn, they place their hooves at an angle of a few degrees on a hard surface. This causes a lot of friction in the joints and wear of the hoof. Plastic grids with a top layer of sand ensure less friction. The sand adapts to the placement of the hoof and the grids provide for a solid bottom layer which prevents a horse track.
The plastic grids have a patented interlocking system which makes them easy to install. In the factory twelve tiles of 33 x 33 centimeters are clicked together like one large plate of 1,33 m2, which is easy to install. In this way, you place 1,33 m2 in one single movement.
Plastic grids for your exerciser or walker are available from us. Noddevelt can place the grids on site as well. Are you interested in one of our products or services, please feel free to contact us for more information and the possibilities.


I signed up for a hockey team. To be honest, I read the sheet wrong at first. I thought I was signing up for a "Hokey Team." I couldn't wait to show my new teammates how good I was at putting my right leg in and shaking it all about! However, it turned out to be hockey, not hokey.
Oh well, I bet I'll look tough without my front teeth.
My first question was how an ice rink could survive in Texas. Winter temperatures can get as low as 50 degrees but rarely down to the freezing point, which is 44 degrees if I remember my science test correctly. But it's June! It's 103—and that's inside our refrigerator.
I soon found out that the hockey games were played in a roller skating rink, not on ice. So I showed up at the first practice with my Rollerblades and a helmet. I looked a little different than the other kids, mostly because I had a football helmet. I also hadn't bought a hockey stick, so I was using my mom's broom. This turned out to be a great advantage because no one could see the puck under all that straw. My coach eventually made me use a regular stick, even though the puck looked much cleaner.
The first practice taught me why hockey players wear pads and a helmet. All that crashing and slamming around really bruised me up. And I wasn't even playing yet! I was just trying to stand on my skates. The Rollerblades kept rolling out from under me, causing my arms to fly all around. I looked like I was fighting off an imaginary bee. Like I said, I've always been good at shaking it all about.
When we started doing drills, I had trouble getting the puck to keep up with me. At first I tried picking it up and keeping it in my pocket. This backfired because Clay kept scoring a goal by pushing me into the net. Eventually, I put some Chap Stick on the puck. It moved a lot faster after that. Plus, I thought the Chap Stick would help if someone got hit in the mouth with the puck.
At first, I was confused because I'd just showered in the locker room. But the locker room has a distinct smell I like to call "rotting fish on hot pavement," though my mom refers to it as "sweaty boy." No matter what you call it, you end up smelling like it if you spend more than 20 seconds in the locker room.
Anyway, turns out hockey is a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to the season. I'm making new friends and getting lots of exercise. Now if you will excuse me, our first game is next week, so I have to go stock up on Chap Stick.

In praise of … the Wedgwood Museum
Josiah Wedgwood was one of the of the late 18th century, his life a model of industrial, political and intellectual progress
Sun 16 May 2010 19.25 EDT
Josiah Wedgwood was one of the remarkable men of the late 18th century, his life a model of industrial, political and intellectual progress. An anti-slavery campaigner, a member of the Lunar Society and founder of the factories that still produce fine ceramics in Stoke-on-Trent, his work is celebrated in a thriving museum that now faces the most unjust of threats to its future. The Wedgwood Museum in Stoke, which reopened in 2008 after a lottery-funded transformation, risks being dragged down by a legal quirk. When the ceramics firm went bankrupt last year – and transferred to new owners – five members of the museum's staff remained in the pension fund. As an accidental result of a new law intended to protect pensioners, the museum has found itself liable for funding the pensions of 7,000 ex-Wedgwood factory employees and a £134m deficit, an impossible task. The museum trust was forced into administration last month as a result – though the museum remains open and as busy as ever. Its administrators are waiting for a court ruling which may compel them to break up and auction off its extraordinary collection. Such vandalism is barely imaginable: the museum's contents trace 250 years of cultural and manufacturing history, including many pieces of global importance and immense value. The court could rule that the museum is not liable, but if the sale begins, no donor could ever be generous enough to rescue its contents from a forced sale to private collectors abroad.

Facebook working on personal assistant 'M'
New Delhi: Social networking giant Facebook on Thursday said it had started to test a new service called 'M' which is a digital personal assistant inside the messenger app. "Today we're beginning to test a new service called M. M is a personal digital assistant inside of messenger that completes tasks and finds information on your behalf," the company wrote in a blog post.
www.nbsnews.com
"It's powered by artificial intelligence that's trained and supervised by people. Unlike other AI-based services in the market, M can actually complete tasks on your behalf. It can purchase items, get gifts delivered to your loved ones, book restaurants, travel arrangements, appointments and way more," it added. The addition of M in the market will add to the existing kitty of personal assistants which include Cortana from Microsoft, Siri from Apple and Google Now from the internet giant's stable.
"This is early in the journey to build M into an at-scale service. But it's an exciting step towards enabling people on messenger to get things done across a variety of things, so they can get more time to focus on what's important in their lives," the company said.

Field Notes "Mile Marker Edition"
This Pocket Notebook Will Make You Want to Plan a Road Trip
April 1, 2019 Cars : Vehicle Gear By Bryan Campbell Photo by Field Notes
Field Notes notebooks consistently find their way into our EDC with good design and real-world durability. Just the look of a Field Notes notebook is enough reason to keep one handy all the time, and the new limited-run "Mile Marker" Edition is no different.
The Mile Marker Edition celebrates the Dwight D. Eisenhower Highway System that helped connect all of America's major cities back in the '50s, which arguably kick-started America's decades-long love for road-tripping.
If the three different covers of the Mile Marker Edition notebooks look familiar, then good — that means you pay attention to road signs when you're driving. Each design takes direct inspiration from the governmental roadside furniture, right down to the same Pantone Toyo ink and use of holographic Crown Foil, as dictated by the official DOT Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. So they're just as reflective and visible in headlights as an actual mile marker.
If a fresh, blank notebook begging for road notes isn't enough to jump-start ideas for your next road trip, Field Notes is throwing in a 36-inch by 24.5-inch highway map with every one-year subscription. But since you'll probably end up giving in and using Waze, Field Notes is printing a short-run version of the map on heavier stock, making it better for framing and appreciating. Plus, if the map is framed and hanging on a wall, you won't have to worry about the guaranteed frustration of trying to fold the damn thing back up.

:: Courtney Love to Lila McCann
Johnny Mathis Biography
Full name, John Royce Mathis; born September 30, 1935, in San Francisco, Calif.; son of Clem (a chauffer and handyman) and Mildred (a domestic) Mathis. Education: Attended San Francisco State College. Religion: Roman Catholic. Addresses: Residence --Hollywood Hills, CA. Office --Rojon Productions, 3500 West Olive Ave., #750, Burbank, CA 91505.
Johnny Mathis is one of the most successful singers of ballads in the American music world. His recordings have been represented on the music charts for longer than any except those of famous crooner Frank Sinatra, and he has earned at least eight gold albums. Rising to the peak of his reputation during the late 1950s and early 1960s, Mathis resisted the rock and roll phenomenon that swept the nation in those years and established a unique popularity for himself in the musical genre of easy listening. Perhaps because of the fact that much of his music celebrates the ideals of romantic love, Mathis is especially well-received by female listeners, but he has garnered critical acclaim as well. As reviewer Sidney Fields put it in the New York Mirror: "His voice has incredible range; he improvises on a theme in any tempo and mood with great originality; and he can move from a tender ballad to swing, to rhythm and blues, and even vehemence." Despite Mathis's longevity on the charts, however, he did not have a number one single until his 1978 duet with Deniece Williams, "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late."
Though he was born September 30, 1935, into a poor black family in San Francisco, California, Mathis's childhood and adolescence predicted his later success. His father, Clem, a former Texas vaudeville performer who Mathis calls "my biggest hero, the reason I started to sing," according to R. Windeler of People magazine, was quick to recognize and encourage his fourth child's talent. Clem bought Johnny a second-hand piano when he was eight, and taught him vaudeville routines for performance within the family. The young Mathis also sang in church, and won a local amateur talent contest when he was fourteen. The year before, he had impressed Oakland, California, music teacher Connie Cox so much that she offered him free voice lessons. The gesture was a helpful one because the Mathis family could not afford to pay for them; the lessons, primarily in classical and opera singing, continued for six years.
But music was not Mathis's only option for success. He was a good student with leadership quality. Mathis was the first black child ever elected student body president of San Francisco's Roosevelt Junior High School, and when he graduated to George Washington High School he served as the treasurer of his class. He also excelled in athletics, winning six letters for his participation in various sports, including basketball, hurdling, and high jumping. Mathis entered San Francisco State College with the intention of becoming an English teacher, but his continued athletic achievements led him to contemplate teaching physical education or coaching track. He set a college record for the high jump, and was invited to try out for the 1956 Olympic Games, but he turned this down to concentrate on his musical career.
While attending San Francisco State, Mathis became interested in jazz, and began singing in local nightclubs with a sextet led by one of his fellow students, Virgil Gonsalves. Performing at San Francisco's Black Hawk club one night in 1955, Mathis attracted the attention of the club's co-owner, Helen Noga. Noga was determined to make him a star, and became his manager. She helped Mathis obtain more nightclub bookings, during one of which, at a gay bar that also featured female impersonators, he was discovered by George Avakian, head album producer for Columbia Records.
Though somewhat regretful of leaving his college education unfinished, Mathis went to New York City to record for Columbia. While in New York, he also performed in some of the better clubs there, including the Village Vanguard and the Blue Angel. The first album Mathis made was flavored with jazz arrangements, and did not sell well. But Avakian had faith in his latest discovery, and sent him to work with the head of Columbia's singles department, Mitch Miller. Miller realized that the young singer's talent had been misdirected, and steered him away from jazz to the soft ballad style that became Mathis's trademark. "Wonderful! Wonderful!," released in 1957, became Mathis's first big hit. He soon followed this up with "It's Not for Me to Say," and, perhaps his best-known recording, the romantic "Chances Are."
Mathis also became involved in films, singing the title song for the 1957 film "Lizzie," and making an appearance in the picture as a nightclub singer. He had a slightly larger role, also as a nightclub singer, in "A Certain Smile," released in 1958. Most sources assert that Mathis's presence in "Smile" was the only thing that saved it from box office failure; he did, however, score a hit with the title song. More recently, Mathis and singer Jane Olivor had a popular success with "The Last Time I Felt Like This," the theme from the film version of playwright Neil Simon's "Same Time Next Year."
Mathis continued to have many successes throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, including "Small World," "Misty," and "What Will Mary Say," but then his popularity as a recording artist waned. He became dissatisfied with Noga's handling of his career in 1964, and established his own company, Rojon Productions, in order not only to become his own manager but to promote new talent.
Mathis has remained in demand as a concert performer, however, and his 1978 return to the charts--his duet with Deniece Williams, "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late"--was a milestone for him. It was his first number one record, and, because of Williams's following, made Mathis popular with black audiences for the first time; his previous Columbia hits had been aimed primarily at whites.

When I had my Bridal shower at the Casino Royal in Washington D.C. in 1956 Johnny was just starting out. He came over to me & my finance to wish us the best of luck.We have gone to see him whenever we were near where he was appearing. He is the greatest singer & we are going to be at his concert at San Manuel Indian Casino on June 3rd. Would love to get a chance to say hello. Marsha & Shelly Kogod Thanks for the memories. We will be in elite 3 row r seat 35 & 36. Thank you.
almost 12 years ago
Wow...my husband treated me to a live performance by Johnny at the Chumash Casino & Resort. He was incredible, at age 73, his voice is still fabulous, it brought me to tears. I was 12yr. old in 1957 when Johnny made his first recording and I have been listening to him all these years. In junior high, Mary Mead(what ever happened to her) had teen parties at her home, we would dance to all of the fast songs and then came Johnny, oh my, with the hormones raging and dancing so close to "Don Fergus" wow, those were very special times. Much more innocent than todays world. I cant believe that someone on these comment pages asked why Johnny never got married!??? He explains it all in his version of the Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet. I am fortunate to live in the Santa Ynez Valley where Johnny Mathis sister lives, I think she still lives here. Some local people have over the years seen Johnny around town. I have not been so fortunate!! So now that I have rambled on and on, I just want to say again...Johnny you still have it and I am sooo glad I got to see him live before I die. Now I have to work on seeing Barbra Striesand live!!!
I was driving with my dog today and heard Johnny singing All I Ask Of You from Phantom Of The Opera. I got home and started checking and saw that he recorded that song in 2009, not even a year ago, at the age of 73, if I did the numbers right. At any rate, his voice sounds just about the same as his first hit, Wonderful, Wonderful, in 1957, when I was a fresman in high school just south of Sacramento. He has one of the most beautiful voices in the world. I play the piano by ear and have been told I have perfect pitch, (whatever that means) so I guess I am a fairly good judge of pitch, tone and perhaps timing, which is one of the reasons I have nearly every song Johnny ever recorded and continue to play his music on a regular basis. I do not have a CD with this song on it which I will find and purchase. Thanks for all the years of beautiful music Johnny....regards, Rob
i ve been listening to your songs since i was 11. I fall in love to you since then. I am waiting for you to visit us in Malaysia. You have big fan here. We'll be waiting! Luv ya!
You really are the greatest!! Why don't you get married?
Why can't you open up a little more to your fans? We give, you should give back.
I have been a fan of Johnny"s since 1958.....been to his concerts and even had the pleasure of talking to him on the balcony of a hotel in Hull, Ma. in 2006. Have every album, tape and cd he has ever made. I'm wondering why he can't be a little more open with his fans and let us have a way to contact him like most other artists do.....little to ask considering all that he gets from "us" his fans. Just a thought.
In my lifetime, I have heard all rhe great singers and have a tremendous collection of them all. Mr. Mathis you have by far the greatest voice of them all. Thank you for your music and may you have many more successful years. I have never written to a celebrity before, but I thought I needed to let you know of my admiration. Your admirer, Jack Gray
Johny, I've been listening to your Christmas Album for 35-40 years! Thank you. 5 years ago, I finally listened closely and became a committed Christian!!! Thank you again for your awesome guidance.(esp. O Holy Night) In His Name, Bob Gatza
Hello Johnny Mathis, for the last 46 years I have heard your songs being played on the record player by my grand mother who has to see your concerts once a year when you are playing. Even though she has trouble getting around she is still determined to see her Johnny Mathis sing. I am waiting to get her tickets to your pechanga show on Dec 13 for her eighty something , never tell your age birthday. I was thinking if you read this message, is ther any possible way of my grand mother meeting you personally? It would be the best gift in life for her. She is such a kind lady who care and does for so many people especially the poor. I would be so happy to have her meet you. If you read this please email me as I would be willing to take her almost anywhere to she could see you..Thank You, from a grand daughter who wants to give a wonderful lady something back.
Hello Mr. Mathis::I had the pleasure of seeing you perform August 10, 2008 in Westbury, New York. Quite a number of years ago I did attend a NYC concert but because I was so far back in the audience, I could barley see you. It was rather like listening instead to an album. When you stepped on the stage August 10th, it was as though an old friend stopped by to share an evening of wonderful music with me. This time I was close enough to see you perform. You made it seem as though you was singing directly to me. ( my sister who also attended was quite sure you sang to her). No, you sang to everyone. That is the magic you hold over your audience. I soo look forward to your next visit. Mean while I filled my IPOD with all your songs. You have become my walking companion in the evening.
Hello Johnny: We attended the Thursday night August 21/08 concert at Rama Casino and your show was absolutely wonderful! It was special as we were celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary and I had just given my husband a silver bracelet with the words "Until the Twelfth of Never" inscribed on the back. You sang it that night and just made it a perfect evening. God Bless You for continuing to entertain us with the "only true love songs" ever.

I have no idea if Mr. Mathis ever sees this, but if so... When in Pittsburgh on Saturday, July 12, if you could include "All The Time" in your program, that would cap the evening. I bought tickets to celebrate our wedding anniversary and this song was our mantra during courtship until we could be together "all the time". We are ever thankful for your talents; you spread so much joy and love through your voice.
Hey Johnny: Would love to hear you sing your own version of "I'm In The Mood for Love" Karen
