The Supreme Court today dismissed as premature a plea by Rajya Sabha MP Sasikala Pushpa seeking immunity from the anti-defection law as she has not been after 'expelled' from the AIADMK. A bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra said that her plea was "premature" after Pushpa claimed that she had not received any expulsion letter from the party and hence, it could not be said that she has been expelled.
"I should discharge my duty as a Rajya Sabha MP. There is no expulsion and I came to know that I have been expelled from the party from media reports. I have not yet received any expulsion order from the party," Pushpa's counsel told the court.
The bench, also comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar and MM Shantanagoudar, rejected her plea and granted her liberty to approach an appropriate court in future if she received any expulsion order from the party and was aggrieved by it. "In the absence of the said expulsion order, we are not inclined to entertain the plea. It will be open to her to challenge the said order. The writ petition is premature and dismissed. If she is aggrieved by the order, she has the liberty to approach the court," the court said.
Pushpa was allegedly expelled from the AIADMK in August last year after an altercation with DMK MP Tiruchi Siva at the Delhi airport. Since then, she has alleged she was being pressured by AIADMK members to resign from the Upper House.

However, despite his 10 nods, Eminem can only scoop a maximum of nine trophies - in the Best Rap Song category, Love The Way You Lie and his solo track Not Afraid are both nominated.
Eminem was revealed as the frontrunner during Wednesday night's (01Dec10) Grammy Nominations Concert in Los Angeles, which saw Katy Perry kick off the show with a performance of California Gurls on the L.A. Live Plaza.
Perry received a string of top honours herself: she'll face chart rival Lady Gaga in categories including Album Of The Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals and Best Pop Vocal Album.
Miranda Lambert dominates the country award categories, while Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Lady Antebellum and Cee Lo Green are also celebrating after receiving multiple nominations.
A surprise nod comes in the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance section - the late Michael Jackson is nominated for his track This Is It, which faces Michael Buble, Adam Lambert, Bruno Mars and John Mayer in the category.
The Grammy Awards will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on 13 February (11).

Using frozen papaya allows you to have the nutritional benefits of the fruit while providing ice at the same time. You can also try fresh papaya and add ice cubes to get to the consistency that you desire. Also, try agave nectar in place of the simple syrup for a taste combination to die for. This way you will be gaining the health benefits of agave and experiencing the magic of fermented agave (aka tequila) at the same time!

Since I have small children, I end up watching a lot more kids programming than I’d have ever expected, along with the advertising.
Most of it is either food-related, toy-related or “As Seen On TV” stuff aimed at kids. But there’s one recurring set of ads that play that I just can’t fathom.
There’s apparently a series of compilation albums out there of contemporary pop music songs, but sung by kids. So you’ll have an album with a version of Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood”, but sung by some kids, followed by a kid-rendition of Shaun Mendes’ “Stitches”, and so on.
I guess the thing I don’t quite get is… if you like the songs, go to Amazon and get the singles individually from the actual artists. If you’re not hung up on any particular song, why not just listen to the radio? What’s so compelling about hearing covers of current pop songs sung by children?
Apparently this is popular, because I think the latest is “Kids Bop 19”, so they’ve been successful enough to do 18 previous compilation albums, but for the life of me, I just don’t see why.

Paradosi Ballet Company
Paradosi Ballet Company was founded in 2007 as the first professional Christian ballet company in the Pacific Northwest. Paradosi is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian dance company that was established with the goal of sharing the love and teachings of Jesus through dance, drama, and personal witness. The organizations mission is to: "Worship God, Love People, Share the Gospel, and to Make Disciples of Jesus Everywhere We Go". The organization uses dance in Christian ministry by sharing Bible based story ballets, leading worship in churches, dancing during evangelistic outreach events, sharing the gospel message, and through the sharing of personal testimonies from the stage.
|Paradosi Ballet Company|
|Name||Paradosi Ballet Company|
|Founders||Joel & Tennille Carver|
|Executive Director||Jeff Bischoff|
|Official school||Surrendered School of Dance|
Paradosi's touring company performs throughout the US and internationally using dance as an evangelism tool, leading Christian churches in worship, and teaching master classes and choreography at studios and Universities. The touring company has toured extensively within the United States and in 2011 began embarking on international outreach tours. The touring company's primary international focus has been in France and Switzerland partnering with local and international ministry teams for evangelistic events during major arts festivals such as the Festival d'Avignon and Montreux Jazz Festival.
Paradosi's trainee program began in 2011 with two dancers and has grown to now include two levels of dance training. The Trainee Program was developed to help dancers to continue to grow in ballet artistically while learning how to use dance in ministry settings. The Trainee Program serves to feed dancers into the touring company while also preparing them to dance with other companies, become dance teachers, and to serve with other ministries. Dancers in the Trainee Program participate in ministry opportunities at local nursing homes, assisted living facilities, shelters, and schools.
School of DanceEdit
Paradosi's dance school, Surrendered School of Dance, formerly called Surrendered School of the Arts was established in 2009. The school offers dance classes in ballet, contemporary dance, hip hop, and expressive sign language for students from the ages of three through adult at four campuses in Tacoma, Orting, and Gig Harbor in Washington state. The schools Dance Ensemble, which is open to students in Ballet 3 and higher, dances and shares with audiences at local nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and churches.
Annual Summer Dance IntensiveEdit
Each summer Paradosi hosts an annual summer dance intensive for students ages 11 to 24 in Tacoma, Washington that draws students from across the United States and internationally. During the intensive students are exposed to different dance styles while learning choreography, participating in daily chapels, and Bible studies. At the end of the intensive students have an opportunity to share what they have learned during a gala performance for their family and friends.
Paradosi does not have one set choreographer. Paradosi pulls from the talent within the ministry, both current and past members, encouraging creative worshipful expression from the members of the ministry to keep the repertoire fresh and interesting for audiences.
Contributing choreographers include: Larissa Bischoff, Tabi Spurlin, Skylar Moore, Annie Dick, Roshelle Howard, Bonnie Calvert, Tennille Carver, Hope Livingston

ACIAR | UOW | Coalitions for change in sustainable national CBFM programs in the Pacific (FIS-2020-172). Annual technical report: May 2022 to March 2023
- The 2022-23 reporting period started with all three implementing countries of Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu grappling with domestic COVID-19 outbreaks; something that had not occurred throughout the pandemic period. This halted implementation for the first time in three years with domestic travel restrictions and other public health measures preventing work in communities. The recovery saw country teams reengaging and condensing their annual implementation into the second half of the year. Priority was put on activities and measures that contributed to strengthening the enabling environment (outcome-2), in part following national agency priorities and in part due to those being more easily achievable given the post COVID-19 conditions in country. Work focus under outcome-1 reflected the different contexts wherein national CBFM programs are operating, with the Melanesian countries of Solomon Islands and Vanuatu prioritizing information and dissemination activities and with Kiribati engaging with direct CBFM activities. This is largely explained by the differences posed by highly populated large-island contexts versus dispersed, sparsely populated atoll contexts. Further insight evolved in the space of social inclusion work by the project, with the scope expanding to include more explicitly people with disabilities, thus advancing from a ‘GESI’ to a ‘GEDSI’ focus.

The goal of the Technical Assistance is to provide the key analysis, materials and implementation documents to support the installation of a solar photovoltaic (SPV) renewable energy system for residential, commercial and industrial buildings in Hebron City.
EQO is responsible to lead the development of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP). As a rooftop project, which uses existing buildings, the environmental impact of the project is likely to be extremely beneficial to the environment due to the displacement of fossil fuels. However, key implementation impacts will be explored, for which appropriate mitigation measures will be recommended.

Tis the season
I have always been a BIG fan of Thanksgiving. While growing up, if someone we knew didn’t have somewhere to go, they came to our house to sit at our table, and to be welcomed into a home. Sometimes our little dining room looked more like a small café adorned with 3 or 4 tables filled with folks. My mother lived by the phrase, “the more the merrier.” However, Christmas I was “meh” about and, as I got older, I stopped coming home for Christmas. Instead my adult Christmas’s were spent with friends and lovers.
Christmas at the Colino House was usually just my mom and Joseph. And what I lacked in Christmas spirit, Joe more than made up for. He loved Christmas and it was his absolute favorite time of year. Each year he’d embrace the theme with his decor; glittery snowmen, 1950s wire silver trees with antique balls, white poinsettia strewn everywhere, handmade villages with little lights brightening the windows, and real cookies strung on the tree. For years I watched from afar as he and my mom entered this Christmas wonderland. It was a true gift that they shared.
This year, many of the gifts that have been given to us are ones that we wish we could return as we face a flurry of losses that feel particularly acute this month. 2020 has taken away our way of living and connecting. 2020 took away our hugging, hand holding, and celebrating of birthdays, graduations, marriages, births, traveling, performing, teaching, and taking yoga in person. 2020 took away our ability to be in a room together breathing, sweating, and feeling, which has been one of the biggest gifts to me in my life. Being with others and doing what I love, is the gift of a lifetime. Just like the gift of Joe’s yearly Christmas wonderland or the gift of breath in body.
This year took Joseph’s physical body from me, yet his Christmas spirit is everywhere. I recently went down to our treasure-trove of a basement and brought out the ghosts of Christmas past; glittery snowmen, little Christmas trees, the paper village, and antique glass balls. I thought, “I’ll honor Joe and do-it-up for him and my mom,” all the while wondering, “why go through the effort if no one will be there to appreciate it the way that he did?” I sat there questioning what the use is of creating a wonderland for someone who is no longer here to waltz in it?
Days have gone by and the magic of Christmas is slowly working its way into my scrooge-like bones. The smell of the evergreen, the twinkle lights, and those god-damned snowmen have brought the yuletide into my heart bit by bit. Just like the Grinch we know and love, maybe my heart too is growing 3 times its size. I’m realizing that so much of cherishing this yuletide is just as much for me as it is for Joseph. We have lost so much this year, why not give ourselves the gift of Christmas joy and count our blessings like cookies on a tree? And even if it is not the Christmas we crave, maybe it’s the one we need. If it’s not the Christmas that we need, maybe it’s an offering just to breathe like we do in the most difficult pose, and through our most difficult losses. Joy and pain as well as gifts and loss can exist at once on the yoga mat, at the dinner table, in isolation, and in our hearts. In these final days of 2020 I’m struck by a musical refrain that Joe loved deeply, “Let your heart be light, from now on our troubles will be out of sight.” Maybe next year some of these troubles will be out of sight.

The Bears quietly believed they were as good as the Houston Texans and they were, at least the defense was.
Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher has seen Adrian Peterson a couple times a year for the last half-decade. He saw Chris Johnson last week in Tennessee.
The 51-20 win at Tennessee kept the Bears (7-1) a game behind Atlanta for the best record in the NFC.
Ugly wins count as well as pretty ones and the Bears kept a two-step NFC North lead on Green Bay with their come-from-behind win over Carolina while Minnesota also lost.
Everett Golson was at his best Saturday, even if the stat line didn't necessarily show it.


Speaking on Tuesday – the day after England’s shops and pubs reopened as part of the second stage of the government’s restriction loosening plan – Johnson said it is “very, very important for everybody to understand that the reduction in these numbers, in hospitalisations and in deaths and in infections, has not been achieved by the vaccination program.”
“People don’t, I think, appreciate that it’s the lockdown that has been overwhelmingly important in delivering this improvement in the pandemic,” Johnson said in comments that stunned many on social media. He added that though the vaccination program “has helped,” the “bulk of the work in reducing the disease has been done by the lockdown.”
The prime minister soon came under fire from Brits of all political persuasions, who accused him of minimising the results of his vaccine rollout, which the government has repeatedly claimed would be the holy grail offering a “way out” of the pandemic.
“Isn’t it funny how they change rhetoric,” commented one Brit, while some questioned the point in Johnson’s planned vaccine passport if lockdowns are supposedly more effective.
Others called his comments “utter rubbish” and “a gift to anti-vaxxers, vaccine and virus deniers,” and accused him of trying to pave “the way for future lockdowns,” as well as justify the previous year of punishing lockdowns.
Johnson did, however, find a small amount of support from some Brits, who called his claims “sensible” and “honest.”
“Finally, Boris is talking sense,” praised one person. “He has moved away from herd immunity and realizes that lockdown and following Covid safe guidelines is the only way moving forward, till 80% get vaccinated.”
Over 32 million people in the UK have received their first vaccine dose and over 7,656,000 have received their second dose, placing the UK near the top of the world vaccination list.

Apple iPad Regent Street launch: Apple fans, PR shams and Stephen Fry
The iPad finally hits UK stores today. Crave elbowed its way to the front of the paparazzi pit to capture the action at the flagship Regent Street Apple Store. Apple fans had queued overnight ready for the 8am opening, when they were greeted by ecstatic Apple staff, Apple devotee Stephen Fry, and the massed ranks of the nation's media.
The story everyone was chasing was of the dedicated fans who simply couldn't wait to get their hands on the holy gadgety grail. The quirkier the fan, the better the story. But is that what was really happening?
Here's a fun game to play as you look at our photos: it's called 'Punter or Plant?' For each person you see pictured emerging from an Apple Store clutching their prize, simply guess whether they're a genuine Apple fanboy punter or a despicable headline-grabber planted by companies scrabbling for a moment in the reflected PR spotlight.
Eyes down: let's play Punter or Plant. Pictured above are a couple who look as if they're heading from the Apple Store straight up the aisle. Punters or Plants? These very tall Plants are 6ft 5.5-inch Keisha Bolton and 6ft 9.75-inch Wilco van Kleef, who actually married in 2001. They're the world's tallest married couple, and brought with them an entourage of Guinness World Record staff to promote a record-recording iPad app (iTunes link).
Click 'Continue' to see more of the fun from Regent Street, and more thrilling rounds of Punter or Plant?
Apple Store staff prepare for the opening with chants of "iPad! iPad!"
The queue stretched round the corner down Hanover Street.
National treasure Stephen Fry arrives at the store.
Fry is rapturously greeted by the Apple faithful as the godhead he is.
Massed ranks of photographers and television crews thronged Regent Street.
Although he was second in the queue, this chap was the first to emerge. His name's Ian and he's not that keen on smiling. Punter or plant?
This is Emma. Punter or plant? (Her t-shirt says 'My lifestyle PA'.)
17-year-old Jake Lee from Essex queued since the middle of yesterday. Pictures of him taken yesterday show him wearing a plain shirt, yet this morning when he emerged to the massed ranks of the national press, he was wearing a t-shirt promoting Any Question Answered. Punter or plant?
The most beautiful phone ever has one wildly annoying issue

Morgan’s Half Acre Produce is a family friendly shop with easy parking and a relaxed, down home atmosphere. The staff, which are comprised of mostly family members are happy to answer your questions about the produce, cooking suggestions or help you with travel directions! This iconic farm stand also offers locally produced maple syrup and honey as well as a variety of fresh baked pies and shakes made with fruit from their farm, too! This business is a perfect example of community coming together to acheive dreams and friends becoming family, which is what happens when you come to the Finger Lakes, come as friends and leave as family.
Prior to Morgan’s Half Acre Produce, the building was originally the creamery for Auburn Guernsey Farms in the early to mid-1900s. It was later known as “The Stage Stop”- a country store with homemade ice cream in the 1980s and a restaurant under various owners in the 1990s.
Owner, Kelli Morgan began selling sweet corn in a small temporary stand in the corner of the parking lot in 1992, occasionally with some fresh, juicy peaches to go along with it from her college friend, Ned Morgan’s farm in Marion, NY. From there the seeds of success were planted!
Morgan’s Half Acre Produce is owned by two farm families that decided to go into business together in 2005 and use this terrific location in the heart of the Finger Lakes to retail the fruits and vegetables they grow on their individual farms. And even though the building is from the mid-1900s, it is handicap accessible today for everyone to enjoy.
Kelli grows 90% of the vegetables sold in the market and manages the store while her husband, Bill keeps very busy running a dairy farm in Union Springs, NY. Kelli grew up selling sweet corn and pumpkins at her parents’ farm and is the third generation to combine produce sales with the dairy industry. She enjoys the close connections with customers and the opportunity to work outdoors growing and harvesting crops as well as marketing them directly to the consumer. The whole Morgan family gets involved with Jessica as a sales assistant and baker, and Rachel (who is now a NYC advertising and art director) advising on social media and website updates. Bill and Kelli share equipment and crop expertise growing crops on their land for the cows and the market. Farmers first, both families are glad to be involved in agriculture and feeding people in both our local communities and around the world.
Morgan’s Half Acre Produce is fortunate to always have a fresh, open-air atmosphere. Employees wear masks and practice personal sanitation and social distancing, plus an easy traffic flow for customers in the store and efficient check-out area minimizes risk. The social media presence informs customers of what is in season and available and allows for ordering online. Check out the new website and sign up for the email list to receive updates! Look for an updated system for easy ordering online or by phone or email- for produce or for specific baked items like their favorite pies made to order!
“Taking care of the land we make our living from is a joy for us and we love what we do and that we get to share it with you at Morgan’s Half Acre Produce!”
Morgan’s Half Acre Produce is located at 6169 Half Acre Road - Auburn, New York 13021. For more info call them at (315) 253-3008 or email firstname.lastname@example.org. Find them online at: www.morganshalfacreproduce.com or on Facebook or Instagram

In remarks at the White House, President Trump cited “the critical need to rebuild America’s crumbling infrastructure,” and said his proposal would “spur the biggest and boldest infrastructure investment in American history.”
The long-awaited 55-page plan asks that Congress authorize $200 billion over 10 years to stimulate $1.5 trillion in improvements paid for by states, localities and private investors.
“My Administration’s plan addresses more than traditional infrastructure—like roads, bridges and airports—but addresses other needs like drinking and wastewater systems, waterways, water resources, energy, rural infrastructure, public lands, veterans’ hospitals, and Brownfield and Superfund sites,” the president said. “The reforms set forth in my plan will strengthen the economy, make our country more competitive, reduce the costs of goods and services for American families, and enable Americans to build their lives on top of the best infrastructure in the world.”
President Trump is scheduled to visit the Orlando, Florida, area on Friday to begin selling the plan to the public.
For Congress as they take on the infrastructure plan in committee hearings and floor debates.
For states and localities as they would need to look to means of financing their portion of infrastructure projects.
About the need for improvements to a good part of America’s infrastructure in its wide sense.

The First Official Trailer for Charlie Kaufman’s Mind-blowing Anomalisa
We got a chance to see Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, Being John Malkovich) and Duke Johnson's stop-motion masterpiece Anomalisa at the Middleburg Film Festival, and we were floored. The film centers on Michael Stone (voiced by David Thewlis), a customer service expert whose giving a speech at a convention in Cincinnati. While there, he meets a shy, insecure woman named Lisa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and an immediate connection is created. The film's funny, very odd, and almost devastatingly human—leave it to Kaufman to, as Esquire's Matt Patches wrote, create "the most human movie of the year, and it doesn't star a single human." It's that rare film that just sticks with you for hours, then days, after you see it.
The above synopsis of the film does it no justice. There are uncanny elements that defy description; you really will need to see it to appreciate just how unsettling and intriguing Kaufman and Johnson's choices are. Take, as just one example, the fact that every other character in the film save for Michael and Lisa are voiced by Tom Noonan in various registers. This slight sameness becomes, slowly but surely, unbearable, as Michael desperately yearns for a real connection, finds it with Lisa, and then almost immediately starts to lose it. Then there's the attention to detail, which is staggering; from Michael's minibar in his hotel room to the shimmer on Lisa's lips in closeup, Anomalisa is visually astounding while simultaneously landing one emotional uppercut after another. There are sequences of astonishing beauty, like the opening shots of Michael's plane flying through the sunlit clouds, and sequences of unsettling creepiness, like a scene in which Michael has to descend into the bowels of his hotel to speak with the manager.
The trailer is a touch (or two) more upbeat than the film actually is. This is a truly unique piece of work that needs to be seen and discussed, but the trailer should give you enough chills to whet your appetite for more.

PHILADELPHIA MUSIC ALLIANCE RETURNS
TO CONTINUE CELEBRATION OF CITY’S CULTURAL LEGACY
WITH 7 NEW INDUCTIONS
MFSB ORCHESTRA, SALSOUL ORCHESTRA, JOHN DAVIS & THE MONSTER ORCHESTRA, GENE SHAY, JOEL DORN, MADARA & WHITE, JERRY ROSS, PETER RICHARD CONTE,
TO RECEIVE 9 BRONZE PLAQUES ON PHILADELPHIA WALK OF FAME
Diverse Gathering of Legends to be Honored at Festive Induction Ceremonies
Along Avenue of the Arts, Thursday, October 24, 2013
PHILADELPHIA (September 12, 2013) –The Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame, a living tribute to Philadelphia’s rich music history and a vital force unifying the city’s diverse cultural communities along the Avenue of the Arts, will welcome seven new inductees next month, led by a three-headed orchestral soul “monster”: the dozens of musicians who played the sound heard ‘round the world, the Philly Sound, as members of the MFSB Orchestra, the Salsoul Orchestra, and John Davis & the Monster Orchestra – most in more than one of those units. The musicians, string, horn, rhythm players and voices who performed the music were men and women, young and old and from all backgrounds who collectively captured a moment with their talents to make that sound world-famous in the 1970s. “Dean of American Folk DJs” Gene Shay; producer and label executive Joel Dorn (“Killing Me Softly”); songwriting team Madara & White (“At the Hop”); producer-songwriter-publisher Jerry Ross (“I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” with Gamble & Huff; “Venus”); producer-arranger-conductor Vince Montana Jr., and Macy’s Grand Court organist Peter Richard Conte also will be honored as recipients of the 114th through 122nd commemorative bronze plaques along the Avenue of the Arts. Ceremonies, free and open to the public, are scheduled for Thursday, October 24 at Noon in front of the Doubletree Hotel along the Avenue of the Arts.
The induction of this diverse group of legends furthers the renewed commitment by the Philadelphia Music Alliance (PMA) to shed new light on the City’s cultural legacy and incredible contribution to the world of music past, present and future as a major tourist attraction. This agenda to recognize more local music greats in all genres is part of the community based, non-profit organization’s overall mission to encourage the creation, celebration and historical preservation of Philadelphia music, and the foundation of a renewed commitment to schedule multiple induction ceremonies each year. A brand-new, full-color, tri-fold brochure spotlighting the Philadelphia Walk of Fame will soon be distributed throughout the Delaware Valley and will be available at the ceremony.
“We’re re-energizing our original mission of aggressively inducting artists in all genres whose accomplishments have had a significant impact in the world of music,” says Joseph Tarsia , chairman and founding member of the PMA. “This induction comes at a time of impassioned renewal for the Philadelphia Music Alliance. There are still so many worthy candidates, that it was important to pay tribute to a number of them with this induction ceremony. We’re already planning our next event in the spring of 2014. The magnitude of the Walk of Fame and its continued impact on the Avenue of the Arts and Greater Philadelphia is overwhelming.”
Karen Lewis, executive director of the Avenue of the Arts (AAI), said, “We’re excited about the ongoing resurgence of the Walk of Fame as it represents a unique opportunity to recognize Philadelphia legends. And as the premier destination for performing arts, the Avenue of the Arts is the perfect location for this tribute.”
Adds music icons and original inductees Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, creators of the Sound of Philadelphia: “Philadelphia has created some of the biggest music stars in the world and their music continues to impact people’s lives. This induction continues to celebrate that legacy in a special way with artists who are clearly among Philadelphia’s Music Royalty, and are among the legendary unsung heroes and heroines deserving this honor. We’re especially honored and excited to see the numerous musicians who worked with us, especially the MFSB Orchestra, as well as our collaborator, Jerry Ross, receive this special recognition.”
MFSB ORCHESTRA – Motown had the Funk Brothers, but Philadelphia International Records had MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother), the pool of more than 30 studio musicians based at Philly’s famed Sigma Sound Studios. The orchestra was created by Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thom Bell, and backed up such artists as Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, the O’Jays, the Stylistics, the Spinners, Wilson Pickett, and Billy Paul. The Philadelphia Music Alliance sends its condolences to the family of Bobby Martin, a top arranger, conductor and composer for MFSB, often referred to as “The Granddaddy of R&B and Soul,” whose passing was announced earlier this week.
SALSOUL ORCHESTRA – Consisting of most of the original members of MFSB, they became the backing band for acts on Salsoul Records, and recorded several hit singles and albums between 1975 and 1982. Their music featured elements of Philadelphia soul, funk, Latin and disco. The Salsoul Orchestra included up to 50 members with instrumental sections, arrangers and conductors. The Salsoul Orchestra was conducted by Vincent Montana, Jr., who passed away earlier this year amid plans for his Walk of Fame induction. Their song, “Love Break (Ooh I Love It)” has been sampled in several rap songs and most notably, in Madonna’s “Vogue.”
JOHN DAVIS & THE MONSTER ORCHESTRA – A disco band noted for their lead member (John “the Monster” Davis), who lent his name and produced all of their output. The title track from their 1976 debut album, a cover of Cole Porter’s “Night and Day,” is now a classic Disco hit and on almost every DJ’s playlist. Original disco hits followed, including “Up Jumped the Devil,” “The Magic is You,” “Ain’t That Enough for You” and “Love Magic.”
VINCE MONTANA JR. – The producer, arranger, conductor and legendary vibraharpist was a key MFSB rhythm section member and developer of “The Philly Sound,” creator of the Salsoul Orchestra, Montana Orchestra and Goody Goody. As the creative and driving force behind the Salsoul Orchestra, Montana was a dance pioneer of the Disco Era, and created signature club classics on his own Philly Sound Works label, with countless gold and platinum albums to his name.
GENE SHAY – WXPN’s Grandfather of Philadelphia Folk Music and Dean of American Folk DJs has produced weekly folk radio shows in Philadelphia for 51 years, and is a founder of the Philadelphia Folk Festival and the Philadelphia Folksong Society. He was the first promoter to bring Bob Dylan to Philadelphia and as an advertising writer and producer, wrote the original radio commercials for Woodstock. Shay came up with the name “World Café” for David Dye’s nationally syndicated radio show, produced at WXPN, where he continues to produce his live weekly “Folk Show” every Sunday.
JOEL DORN – One of the most prominent producers in pop and jazz, Dorn helmed records from some of the biggest names in music, among them Charles Mingus, and the Allman Brothers Band. He began his career in 1961 as a disc jockey with Philadelphia jazz station WHAT-FM; and gained fame as a producer and A&R executive at Atlantic Records, producing Roberta Flack hits “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly”; the Keith Jarrett & Gary Burton album; and Bette Midler’s debut album, The Divine Miss M. Other performers Dorn worked with included the Neville Brothers, Leon Redbone, Lou Rawls, and Asleep at the Wheel.
MADARA & WHITE – Best known for transforming a song called “Do the Bop” for the (click “Next” above or below to see next page) Juvenaires into “At the Hop” for Danny and the Juniors, and the rest is history. Johnny Madara and Dave White went on to contribute to more than 200 million in sales with hits like “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay” (Danny and The Juniors), “The Fly” (Chubby Checker), “1-2-3” (Len Barry) and “You Don’t Own Me” (Lesley Gore).
JERRY ROSS – Record producer, songwriter, publisher and record company executive, Ross is credited with discovering Kenny Gamble as a teen and later collaborating with Gamble & Huff on the Motown smash, “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me”, recorded most famously by Diana Ross & the Supremes together with The Temptations. Ross also discovered, wrote or produced such million-sellers as “Sunday Will Never Be the Same” (Spanky & Our Gang), “Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie” (Jay & the Techniques), “Sunny” (Bobby Hebb), “Venus” (Shocking Blue) and many more. Next to Cameo/Parkway and Gamble & Huff, Jerry Ross has written, developed and produced more hit records than any other Philadelphia producer.
PETER RICHARD CONTE – The longtime Macy’s Grand Court Organist was appointed in 1989, and is only the fourth person to hold that title since the organ was first played in 1911. Mr. Conte is highly regarded as a skillful performer and arranger of organ transcriptions. His monthly radio show, The Wanamaker Organ Hour, airs on the first Sunday of each month and can be heard worldwide via the Internet at WRTI.org.

Past PMA programs have included a Musical Instrument Donation Program in partnership with the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, an annual piano competition, the Philadelphia International Airport Music Project, Music In The Schools, music education scholarships and grants, a speakers bureau, as well as music business seminars and workshops – all designed to not only encourage our City’s continued stellar contributions to the cultural heritage of the world but to fill a void created by shrinking budgets for cultural programs in our City and in our schools.
In 2008, the Philadelphia International Airport unveiled an exhibition spotlighting the Walk of Fame and the City’s contribution to American music to visitors from all over the world.
The Alliance also serves as a resource to students, educators, musicians, city agencies, and other cultural institutions. The PMA has worked with the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, Multicultural Affairs Council, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Philadelphia Commerce Department, National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, Franklin Institute, Corporation for the Aging, Trane Stop, University of the Arts and the City Representative’s Office on various projects. Most recently, the PMA awarded scholarships to four graduating Philadelphia high school seniors who are pursuing Music at the University level.
The Walk of Fame is a stunning demonstration of the great talent that Philadelphia has produced. This talent spans many musical genres and time periods, and includes Leopold Stokowski, Frankie Avalon, the Dixie Hummingbirds, Patti LaBelle, Hall & Oates, Solomon Burke, Marian Anderson, Mario Lanza, John Coltrane, Todd Rundgren, McCoy Tyner, Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, Teddy Pendergrass and Dick Clark.
The Philadelphia Music Alliance was founded in June 1986 as a community based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Philadelphia as a vital contributor to the international music landscape. Established by music executives and concerned citizens in order to recognize the vast impact Philadelphia continues to have on all musical genres, the Philadelphia Music Alliance serves to encourage the creation, celebration and historical preservation of Philadelphia music.

Viburnum mariesii has dark green foliage throughout the season. The serrated pointy leaves turn an outstanding brick red in the fall. The calm white flowers make for a beautiful contrast to the foliage.
The Doublefile's average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. It is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
This is a relatively low-maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers.
- Works great with taller trees and shrubs.
- Wide-growing shrub.
- Blooms in late spring.
- Great for fire-scaping.
|Mature Height:||8 to 10 Feet|

Greece's center-right government, voted into power in Sunday's general elections, is granted no grace period but rather a trial period by the markets and the country's creditors, experts warned here on Monday, stressing the need for reforms and a delicate handling of the economy.
The country's conservative New Democracy (ND) party has secured an outright majority in the Greek parliament.
According to the final official results released by the Interior Ministry, ND received almost 40 percent of the vote and thus won 158 seats in the 300-member parliament.
It will be the first time since 2009 for Greece to be be ruled by a single party that holds a comfortable majority in parliament.
Analysts expect the new market-friendly administration to bolster growth and investment in an economy that lost 25 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) during the financial crisis.
The prospect of a fresh administration in Greece less that a year after the country's emergence from the bailout programs has investors put their money where their hope is, Dimitris Kenourgios, associate professor of finance at the University of Athens, told Xinhua.
During the six weeks between the announcement of the snap election on May 26 and election day last Sunday, the general index of the Greek stock market rallied over 22 percent, while Greek bond and treasury bill yields dropped to all-time lows.
"However, the anticipation is over and now is the time for the application of the reforms needed. There is no grace period but a trial period instead," said Kenourgios, noting that the new government needs to implement key measures that will consolidate market confidence and earn the support of the country's creditors.
Antonis Zairis, vice president of the Association of Business and Retail Sales of Greece (SELPE), agreed, telling Xinhua that "It requires delicate handling, with solutions for a complicated situation. The government must agree with its creditors and implement a lower primary budget surplus, tax cuts for property owners and corporations, incentives against tax evasion, such as a greater tax discount based on online transactions, the improvement of public services such as security, and the reduction of the state so that it becomes more flexible."
Kenourgios added a few more points the market expects from the new government. "Bureaucracy must be reduced, some key investment projects stalled for years need to be restarted, and reforms such as the abolition of the so-called university asylum are required to restore confidence in the country," he argued.
The process will be long and arduous, warned Zairis, associate professor at Neapolis University Paphos in Cyprus.
"Eventually, Greece requires a new production model so as to reduce imports by producing what it needs to consume, while supporting the sectors where it performs best, i.e. tourism, shipping and exports, and repatriating its capital and human resources," he said.

Fed up with the Biden administration’s open border policy flooding Texas with illegal immigrants and skyrocketing crime, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) declared his state is taking things into its own hands by cracking down on all who illegally cross into Texas.
“We’re about to change the way that Texas addresses the challenges along the border, and we’re going to start by helping these 34 counties [along the border] respond by increasing arrests,” Abbott announced in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “We got a new game in town in the state of Texas that’s going to begin next week.”
With the border crisis – which the Biden administration has refused to call a crisis, but rather a “challenge” – only getting worse since President Joe Biden took office and designated Vice President Kamala Harris the border czar – Abbott has had enough of waiting on the Democrats in Washington to bring the worsening situation under control.
“[T]he Republican governor made it clear that Texas will do everything it can to defend itself from the unprecedented masses of illegal immigrants flooding the border and seeking to take advantage of the Biden administration’s tax policies,” The Western Journal reported.
Instead of refusing to protect citizens from the border surge as the Biden administration has done since taking office, Abbott is taking the security of his state into his own hands by enforcing the law of the land.
“The law that I’m going to use will be legal ways in which Texas is going to start arresting everybody coming across the border,” the Republican governor continued. “Not just arresting them, but because this is now going to be aggravated trespass, they’re going to be spending a half a year in jail – if not a year in jail – as well as other actions that I will be announcing next week.”
This announcement came just days after Abbott made a disaster declaration.
“[T]he ongoing surge of individuals unlawfully crossing the Texas-Mexico border poses [a disaster because it is] an ongoing and imminent threat of widespread and severe damage, injury, and loss of life and property,” the declaration issued Monday reads.
The severity of the border problem was also expressed in an earlier interview the governor had with Newsmax, which he posted on Twitter.
“You hear about disaster declarations for hurricanes, [but] this is the first time that I’m aware of where I had to declare a disaster for 34 counties along the border because of the crisis because of so many people coming across the border,” Abbott said in the video he tweeted. “And you have cartels organizing efforts where ranchers’ property and their fences are torn down, their livestock is let out, their homes are damaged, their cars are broken into, their neighborhoods are dangerous, and we are going to instill safety.”
“We are going to be doing things in Texas that no state has ever done before when it comes to cracking down on anybody coming across the border. We’re going to step up and secure the border.”
Continuing to clean up Biden’s mess
This is not the first time Abbott has attempted to bring the border crisis under control while the White House paid it little more than lip service.
“[Abbott] deployed more than 1,000 public safety officers and National Guardsmen to help combat rampant drug and human trafficking at the border as part of Operation Lone Star earlier in the year, and the Biden administration has essentially abdicated any responsibility for the ongoing crisis,” the Journal recounted.
Still receiving no relief months later from the Biden administration, Abbott took to Twitter Thursday afternoon to announce that “Texas has stepped up to do Biden’s job at the border.”
It is argued that after five months in office, Biden is more interested in catering to the far-left’s radical immigration agenda than in protecting the lives and livelihoods of American citizens.
“Whether it be his reimplementation of catch-and-release, his systematic resettlement of illegals throughout the American Heartland or his outright refusal to build a barrier to aid Border Patrol officers in their mission, Biden has made one thing astoundingly clear: He does not care about the border crisis or the Americans hurt most by it,” the Journal argued.Bottom of Form
Damage already done
With VP Harris having gone 70 days without a news conference since being appointed to handle the border crisis, Abbott is using his declaration to make all state and local law enforcement available to fight “criminal activity and property damage” ushered in by Biden’s pro-immigration policy.
“President Biden’s open-border policies have paved the way for dangerous gangs and cartels, human traffickers and deadly drugs like fentanyl to pour into our communities,” Abbott proclaimed in a statement Thursday. “Meanwhile, landowners along the border are seeing their property damaged and vandalized on a daily basis while the Biden administration does nothing to protect them.”
The Texas Republican noted the extent to which his state has had to clean up Biden’s border mess over the past few months.
“[The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has] made over 1,300 criminal arrests, apprehended over 35,000 illegal migrants and seized over 10,000 pounds of drugs and over 100 firearms [since March],” Abbott said, according to Fox News.
It was also noted that from January to April, the DPS confiscated nearly 100 pounds of the opioid fentanyl – 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine – an amount that can produce 21.5 million lethal doses.

This is GREAT!
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) declared his state is taking things into its own hands by cracking down on all who illegally cross into Texas.
“Not just arresting them, but because this is now going to be aggravated trespass, they’re going to be spending a half a year in jail – if not a year in jail – as well as other actions that I will be announcing next week.”
U.S. Constitution: Article 4, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
and shall protect each of them against Invasion;
I do believe that millions of illegal immigrants, illegally crossing our borders justifies as an invasion.
So the puppet president Betrayal Biden is in violation of the U.S. Constitution that he swore to “preserve, protect and defend”.
100% correct Governor and I’d add that anyone caught with drugs would be required to take,then and there, all the drugs he/she was carrying. In addition sue the Administration for the costs associated with tis enforcement, and when jails are full ship everyone of them to WDC and SFO (Pelosi and Harris’ districts) and let them deal with it, not Missouri or Tennessee or… Then Impeach both Biden and laughing hyenacrat Harris.
IMO its something that SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE YEARS BACK… Not waited tll now to do it.
Thank you Gov Abbott for stopping the invasion.
Good for you Gov. Greg Abbott. This is long past due for the Governors to react. The open borders, New World Order deep state traitors can go to you know where!
Get your fellow state Governors to go with you.
Have all the states sue, and have incoherent Biden and idiot Harris testify along with the puppets who are really running the gov’t. Send them to Delaware, pisslosi’s, Schumer’s , Omar, Presley, and of course bug eyed aoc’s street. Drop them off in front of their houses by the bus loads. Real justice.
I applaud the governor of Texas for standing up for the people of Texas, and in so doing, actually help those who are attempting to and entering the US illegally. If we had good border protection and a process to seek entry legally, then most of the troubles at the border would be reduced. At present, the only ones profiting are the smugglers and drug runners. Shame on Biden and Harris.
Drug runners? Make them eat, sniff or inject all the drugs they are carrying and take all the money they have as well. They can’t use it in jail. Castration for any that have raped.
I’ve said for years we need to do that with drug mules/dealers… MAKE THEM TAKE ALL The poison they are shipping/selling…
Biden is letting Dem voters cross the border, pure and simple. Dems encourage them to vote illegally (what’s another law broken for law breakers) while pushing legislation to reward them citizenship for criminality. Every Mexican “dreamer” steals the dreams of an American kid and his parents.
That’s cause they HOPE the illegals, VOTE DEM.. IF THEY even only 40% of the time, voted republican, THE DEMS WOULD BE ALL FOR border security!
Hey…. Hire Joe Arpaio (Former Maricopa County Sheriff)…. He can build those tent cities, make them all wear pink underwear and feed them bologna sandwiches!
I am SO SICK of treating these Illegal aliens BETTER than we treat OUR homeless and (government created) out of work AMERICANS!
Hell, build massive Trebucheets, and LAUNCH THEM BACK OVER INTO MEXICO..
>”Texas Gov.: ‘Start Arresting Everybody Coming Across The
IT'S ABOUR TIME!!
What part of "Illegal" don't the lib-tards understand??
THe entire word! Just look at how many liberal cities where we’ve had year long riots and such.. Criminals being LET OUT OF prison etc..
“MY GOVERNOR” is very popular in Texas. And he has the “American idea” of getting rid of criminals, killers, rapist’s, and beggars on welfare. THEY belong in jail. And if word gets around, that will have a lot to do, with these unwanted “travelers” from trying to get in America for free.
GREAT! Someone since Jan 20th has the cojones to stand up, say no more, and start solid actions against the illegal invasion of the USA! Thank you TEXAS! Only problem I see is what to do with the illegal aliens after they are arrested? Catching them, feeding them, jailing them, etc. is going to get costly. And, the fake administration isn’t likely to step up and help!
That’s why i prefer the option of launching them right back over the border via a trebuchete or old school catapult. OR FLY THEM Back over their home countries, and air drop them from 10k up, without a parachute!
Make the biden administration pay for housing their future illegal voters. The biden administration allowed them in so use the next scheduled pay raise for democrats as payment for housing the illegal invaders. Maybe even send some of the younger ones to go live with the “squat” (sic) so we can see how aoc and her cohorts like it.
Well, these are all well and good, but until the thus ‘ “that help bring the people and induce the people to come are eliminated nothing will help. Making WDC pay is making you and me pay – no real solution. Ropes with nooses, lead poisoning and taking their own “medicine” will. Snakes don’t do well w/o a head.
ALL that would do is make WE the tax payer foot the bill, WHICH WE ALREADY ARE DOING..
Either sue them as INDIVIDUALS AND make them pay out of their own pocket, OR STOP SPENDING THE MONEY (welfare/food/housing etc) on them, and send them RIGHT BACK HOME>
Texas has posted tourism ads saying, “Texas. It’s like a whole other country.” Well, Abbott is now proving himself quite capable of becoming the president of the resurrected Republic of Texas, an independent nation again. This new player on the world stage would quickly prove itself as a global leader and serve as an example of conservative policies in action bringing wealth and freedom to its own citizens and hope to the people of all other countries; the way America did, but no longer really does.
“Abbott for President…of Texas.”
The lawsuits claiming “you can’t enforce the law” were probably filed before the virtual ink was dry on Governor Abbott’s directive. I hope this goes all the way to the Supreme Court, and his wins. Someone, somewhere needs to enforce law and order.
I’d LOVE To se the Scotus rule “Fine, if you don’t want the laws enforced, then there is NO NEED FOR LAW MAKERS in congress!”

Daytime TV is embracing black entertainers; primetime, less so
Los Angeles Times
Television has a split image: One by day and another by night. In the daytime, blacks and other people of color are a prominent presence, hosting popular talk shows and playing juicy roles in soap operas. But at night, minorities are largely sidelined, with white performers holding most of the marquee roles.

Recently we learned that Damon Wayans Jr. is sticking around at 'New Girl' for the rest of season three in his role as Coach. This was great news for a couple of reasons. First, as fans who've watched the show from the beginning will remember, he was the best thing in the pilot, before 'Happy Endings' was renewed by ABC and took him away. And while he was replaced by the also very funny Lamorne Morris, it was a good move for the writers to explain Coach's departure–and reference him in later episodes–rather than simply recast and re-shoot the role.

Chargers Mike Williams Misses Practice Wednesday
The Los Angeles Chargers announce wide receiver Mike Williams was held out of practice Wednesday, ahead of a Week 6 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
wednesday's #LACvsBAL injury report
*we conducted a walk-through today, participation is an estimate pic.twitter.com/0Gm21cFsua
— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) October 13, 2021
Williams is dealing with a knee injury, and briefly left the Week 5 47-42 win over the Cleveland Browns, targeted 16 times, catching eight passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Williams is second in the Chargers’ receiving corps, responsible for a 25% target share, only behind wide reciever Keenan Allen. Priced at 8,000 Williams has caught 31 passes for 471 yards and six touchdowns.
If Williams cannot play in the matchup with the Ravens, expect additional bulk of targets to go toward Keenan Allen. Allen is priced at $7,100 on FanDuel and has seen eight or more targets in the first five games of the season, targeted nine times, catching six passes for 75 yards.
The Chargers are a 3-point road underdog against the Ravens on FanDuel Sportsbook in a matchup with a 52-point total.

Taking your dog to the restaurant, yes or no? Going to lunch or dinner with your pet is possible, the important thing is to follow some simple common-sense rules and etiquettes to avoid unpleasant episodes that could disturb the other diners.
Know your dog
It is good to consider that your dog in the restaurant must annoy the other diners. Therefore pet parents must evaluate whether their dog’s personality is suitable for dining out in a public place.
Dogs in the restaurant must be obedient and polite, with a calm disposition. It is also very important that dogs are used to being around strangers and children without being annoyed by them. The noise and the hustle and bustle could in fact agitate the dog and the experience will not be positive for everybody, pet, pet parents and diners.
Inform the restaurant of the presence of the dog
Even if many restaurants have no problem hosting dogs in their premises, it is always good manners to inform the restaurant’s manager of the presence of your dog. This will not only be appreciated by the restaurant owner, who will consider it as a sign of respect, but will also help find the best solution for you.
A secluded table is a great choice when taking your dog to a restaurant. Your dog will therefore have more space to sit comfortably and will be less annoyed by the rest of the people in the room.
What to avoid
Once you have taken your seat, there are some behaviors to be absolutely avoided because they could disturb not only the other diners but also the waiters themselves.
– Do not let the dog lie down in a passageway
– Don’t leave him free to roam the tables in the restaurant
– Do not let your dog climb onto chairs or let him put his paws on the table
– Do not feed the dog off your plate on the floor
– Don’t tie their leash to furniture
Do not feed the dog off your plate on the floor
Feeding your dog in a restaurant is not polite and does not show respect for the place. Just as at home the doggy food is served in special dog’s bowls so as not to dirty the floor, the same must be true when you take your dog to a restaurant.
Rather, it is advisable to bring along a small game to entertain him and keep him busy. A good idea could be a ball for dogs on a string, such as Gioco PA 6525, or in rubber, such as Gioco PA 6414. Another excellent alternative could be to bring along a snack to chew on, such as the new 100% Snack by Ferplast, from natural and appetizing dental snacks, perfect to distract him during your lunch or dinner at the restaurant.
What to do before taking the dog to the restaurant
Finally, there are some useful precautions to take before bringing your dog to a restaurant. They are small tricks to ensure that your four-legged friend has a peaceful experience.
It is not recommended to go directly to the restaurant, but rather to go out a little earlier, to let your dog vent his energy and do his business. Getting tired will help him, once he enters the restaurant, to be calmer. Also be sure your dog is well fed before you head to the restaurant, so he isn’t hungry and tempted by food smells.
These small tips will help you to have a positive and repeatable experience. Enjoy your meal!
