South Dakota WWII vet’s diary donated to Library of Congress
WASHINGTON – Arthur Hiland, a World War II veteran, rarely talked to his three daughters about his time in the Army. To them, dad was a closed book who guarded the details of what he’d seen, felt and experienced during his three years fighting in Europe.
That all changed after Hiland and this wife died. As their daughters were cleaning out the attic in their parents’ home one day, they discovered, hidden in a corner, a book detailing nearly everything that had happened to their dad. Suddenly, Hiland’s time in the war came alive.
“We didn’t even know it existed until my mother passed away,” Anna Merrill of Hot Springs, one of Hiland’s daughters, said of the book. “We think (it) was a cathartic exercise, that it was a healing exercise for him. As children, we never talked about the war.”
The voluminous book, which measures 18-by-24 inches and is nearly five inches thick, made its way this week to Washington, where members of the family donated it to the Library of Congress as part of its Veterans History Project. The project is a 14-year old congressional initiative designed to preserve war-time memories of veterans and the impact their military service had on their lives and families.
The pages in the 70-year-old book have turned light brown, and the once-clear Scotch tape holding pictures, newspaper clippings and other mementos has turned a deep shade of bronze.
Still, the compilation, weighing an estimated 20 pounds, seems to have omitted no memory. It includes Hiland’s draft notice, discharge papers, an arm band from a Nazi youth group, coins from where Hiland was stationed, and a pair of socks.
Hiland called the book “Snips and scraps of my Army life” — a description that lives on with his family long after his death in 1978.
The family initially took the book to the PBS program Antiques Roadshow to see how much it was worth, but the producers said the book was too specific to one person and would have monetary value only if it was taken apart, something Hiland’s children were unwilling to do.
“This is really unique in regard to the extent of what is in that scrap book,” Bob Patrick, director of the Veterans History Project, said before the Library of Congress received the book. “I mean, it’s everything. He didn’t throw anything away, in terms of really telling that veteran’s story in great detail through all these personal papers, the letters. This is a unique collection we’re getting.”
Born in Aberdeen, Hiland spent his entire life in South Dakota except for his time in the military. He was a medic stationed in Germany, France and Luxembourg during World War II, and received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
After his discharge, Hiland struggled with what is now known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and sought treatment at the Veterans Affairs Center in Hot Springs for that and other ailments. The center ended up hiring him as a switchboard operator and to work in its accounting department.
Patrick said the Veterans History Project has received about 93,000 collections, including oral histories, letters and personal papers, with nearly half coming from those who served in World War II. The project still gets about 100 items a week from veterans, families, universities, researchers and other groups.
Hiland‘s book will be examined by Veterans History Project staff for signs of wear and pages that need to be reinforced. It will then move to a climate-controlled archive where it will be stored and available to anyone who wants to examine it or use for research.
Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., who met with Hiland’s family in Washington, said she’s noticed while traveling throughout her state that veterans often don’t share or record their experiences.
The Veterans History Project “really does help them document, record their stories and their war efforts so that we and all future generations can benefit from it,” Noem said. “Our future generations will be able to hear their stories from the veterans if they take part in the project. If not, some of that history will be lost.”


Author Gita Zikherman-Greisdorf shares the lessons she learned from her parents during Nazi regime in her memoir, The Shattered Dreams.

A loving mother feels grateful that her children and grandchildren grow up in comfort, but at some point, she wants them to know what she learned in her own childhood. So Gita Zikherman-Greisdorf wrote The Shattered Dreams, a slim memoire telling her story in a simple, direct way.
She wrote this book to convey the values that sustained her parents as they managed to save their children from the Nazis, remaining always just a step ahead of disaster.
Inevitably, the book also conveys the author’s own personality. Dr. Charles Silow, who works with the survivors who serve as speakers at the Holocaust Memorial Center, describes the author as “honest, sincere and sweet.”
The story starts in Daugavpils, Latvia, where Gita enjoyed a happy childhood in the same neighborhood as her grandparents, aunts, uncles and many cousins with Jewish and Latvian playmates. Gita, the little girl with a mop of golden curls, was a piano prodigy. At the ripe age of 9, she won acceptance to the music conservancy. She never got to attend.
The Nazis marched into Latvia June 22, 1941. Those Jews who could ran to the train yards to try to go east toward relative safety. Gita’s father got his wife and children on a crowded train, but it had no driver. He ran through the trainyard and found a driver, who refused to help them. Her father then found a soldier, who threatened the driver. So, a trainload of Jews escaped. Those who stayed in Daugavpils were murdered by the Germans. Gita’s grandparents were among those who stayed.
Looking back at that incident, Zikherman-Greisdorf now realizes that her father was a hero. He saved the lives of a trainload of refugees.
When the family reached the Soviet Union, along with tens of thousands of other refugees, they could not stay in overcrowded urban areas. At a kolkhoz, a collective farm in a rural Russian village, the Zikherman family lived with people who had heard legends about Jews but had never seen one. Villagers literally checked these newcomers for horns. Once the villagers realized that Jews are just human beings, the good-hearted peasants even shared what little they had to help the family survive.
Zikherman-Greisdorf’s ever-resourceful father, trained as a tailor, took up whatever trade or craft he needed to provide for the family and to share with the neighbors. When he was mobilized, her fragile mother needed 12-year-old Gita to take charge.
Even in their extreme poverty, when Gita’s mother had enough supplies (flour, bran and potato peels) to bake bread, she instructed Gita to carry some to more needy neighbors.
The story continues as the family moved from place to place across Russia, as they linked up with surviving cousins, as they faced life-threatening dangers and still managed to enjoy life.
After the war, the Russians put Gita’s father in charge of a tailoring shop. Three German prisoners-of-war worked for him. The Russians had little sympathy for these defeated soldiers and did not give them enough to eat. Gita’s mother made sandwiches for her husband and extra sandwiches for the prisoners.
Gita did not ever become a concern pianist — she still feels sad about that and cries at concerts. She became a teacher of Russian language and literature. She married Gary Greisdorf in Russia, and they have two children and four grandchildren. The family moved to the Detroit area in 1972.
Summarizing her life story, the author wants non-Jews to see what it means to hate and to ask themselves the tragic question: “How can a person come to such hatred?”
She wants Jews to feel proud of our people, even when we have disagreements and to remain united.
Without hiding from the horror, Zikherman-Greisdorf’s Holocaust story comes across as both sweet and honest.

In the present book entitled Unity in the Diversity of Different Religions, with the help of specific quotes and many true or mythical stories, the author illustrates that even though religions of the world may appear very different from one another in their rituals or ways of worship, at their core, they all teach us to be good human beings. They all teach us to practice virtues (like love, compassion, and forgiveness) and to forsake sinful tendencies (like lust, anger, greed, and ego). The author hopes that the readers would enjoy these quotes and stories and find that beside their own religion, other religions also have good things to tell, which we need to share with our friends, particularly young children, so that this world may eventually become like heaven on earth, where people of all faiths are blossoming and spreading their beauty and fragrance for all to enjoy.

The Next Big Thing: Julia Klatt Singer’s Guest Blog
I want to thank Carla for letting me guest blog here. And for asking me to be a part of The Next Big Thing project. It has been an enjoyable assignment to take on, and has forced me to think about my writing in ways I usually don’t think about it. Being a poet, I tend to write a poem, send it to a few friends, see what they have to say, and forget about it. It is the poems that stick with me, the ones I remember weeks or months later that I then go and try to find and look at again. To see if there is something there. This assignment has me not thinking about each poem, but the collections of them that I’m working on. And for me that is the hard part. Deciding what makes a collection and what poems belong together.
I am thankful too that both Clarence White and Alison Morse have accepted the assignment and will be blogging next week about their next big thing. Alison Morse writes fiction and poetry and is very involved in the writing community working with Peacemakers and running a series of readings through TIC—Talking Image Connection. Clarence is a writer, blogger, and fixture in the Twin Cities writing community as well. At a recent reading I attended the host said he can’t remember a reading he’s been to in the last couple years that Clarence hasn’t been at. Clarence is a lover of all things word. His blog can be found at: theclarencewhiteblog.wordpress.com
Oh and me. I’m Julia Klatt Singer and as my younger son describes me, I’m a part-time poet. His older brother isn’t fooled though, he knows the truth, and often points out to me just how much of a poet I am.
What is your working title of your book?
The working title for the book that I am presently getting ready for publishing is A Tangled Path to Heaven. I am also working on another two sets of poems, one based on the Periodic Table of Elements and another group I’m calling The Prodigal Son’s Daughter.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
I guess where most of my ideas come from; nature, music, random words, signs, birds, squirrels, strays, glances, what makes sense to me, and what doesn’t. I’m not sure there is a big idea but more the daily ideas, images, words and interactions that inspire my poems. Although with the Periodic Table, the poems are inspired by the elements, directly related to them in some way. So there is a bigger idea there, or at least a structure I’m working from. Most of my writing isn’t so organized, so my writing’s reason or focus isn’t clear until later. Think bucket of river water, bank and flotsam included—it has to settle to see what is there. Although with The Prodigal Son’s Daughter poems that I’m working on now, I am seeing a road, a landscape, the woods and fields and history, the vistas and the people, and the things lost and found there.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
The poems in A Tangled Path to Heaven explore the paths of relationships, from birth to death. The Heaven, in the title, isn’t the traditional heaven, but more the emotional heaven that we enter in our loving relationships—the safe haven heaven.
With the Periodic Table poems, each poem relates to an element in the ways the element relates to a life. How the elements come to life, enhance a life, are part of a life. They are the emotional, living table of elements. Or at least that is my hope for them.
I don’t know that I know enough about the Prodigal Son’s Daughter poems yet to sum it up in one sentence…
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
A Tangled Path to Heaven is due to come out in June, 2013, published by Northstar Press, Clearwater, MN.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Good question. Some of the poems are a couple years old, some are newer, some feel like I’ve been writing them my whole life—I pulled a working manuscript together a couple springs ago and then let it sit. Brought it out again last fall and gave it a read. Then sent a half dozen poems to Northstar.
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
Lots of whos, lost of whats. I think the thing most of these poems have in common is that they are trying to portray the beauty and the fragility and resilience of life. They are trying to capture the moments I am afraid I’ll forget. Because we do forget things.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
I think of my poems as a way of pinning down the world around me. Like the butterflies and moths my father used to hunt and collect (which broke my heart to see them dead, mounted on a pin) I could see them, really see them, study their under wings, see the way the light played on their bodies, what made them visible and beautiful, and what helped them hide. So I pin down memories and experiences, thoughts and imaginings on paper (or try to) and hope that I have done them justice.
& the cover of my book is from a photograph I took in Portugal last summer. I am thrilled to be able to use it, for it captures, I think, in color and perspective, the feel of the poems, a tangled path.

Poetry and Painting: Two Exhibitions in Honor of Yves Bonnefoy
FROM APRIL TO JULY 2005, THE FRENCH CITY OF TOURS honored its native son, the poet Yves Bonnefoy, with two exhibitions of paintings related to his work: the first was devoted to books he has created together with contemporary artists, and the second to his work as an art historian and art critic. Yves Bonnefoy has long collaborated with painters and engravers, producing books meant to be not only read but treasured as art, where the words inhabit a space materialized by beautiful papers and bindings and constellated by responding images. His earliest collaborators included Raoul Ubac, Eduardo Chillida, Joan Miro, Antoni Tapies, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Indeed he has always been attentive to the visual arts, and over the years has produced many critical essays and books devoted to painting and sculpture, including a tome on Alberto Giacometti, whom he knew quite well. The two excellent catalogues of the exhibitions were published together by William Blake & Co. Editions.1
The first exhibition, "Poésie et peinture 1993-2005," was lodged in the Chateau de Tours, a block or so from the Loire river. It included artifacts produced by Bonnefoy and eleven artists: books resulting from their collaborations, manuscripts (autograph and corrected typescripts) of pertinent texts and letters, and individual, thematically related works by each of the artists. The books were of two kinds: poems or essays by Bonnefoy illustrated by the artist, or catalogues that include a critical essay on the artist written by Bonnefoy. The exhibition took up the second and third floors of the chateau, one room allotted to each painter. The pale, sandstone-block walls, beamed ceilings, and squareand-diamond terra cotta tile floors provided an excellent setting for the paintings, though in a few rooms drywall was installed because the texture of the stone overpowered smaller, more delicate drawings. The books were displayed in glass cases at the center of each room, sometimes with related materials in smaller cases on the side. Works by George Nama, Gérard de Palézieux, Farhad Ostovani, Gérard TitusCarmel, Alexandre Hollan, and Zao Wou-ki, most of them in black and white (except for those by Titus-Carmel) were exhibited in the slightly larger and higher rooms on the second floor. The colorists Oscar Piattella, Nasser Assar, François de Asis, Mehdi Qotbi, and Pierre Alechinsky were up on the third floor.
The catalogue gives the birthplace of each of Bonnefoy's collaborators: Brussells, Belgium; Aix-en-Provence, France; Teheran and Lahijan, Iran; Budapest, Hungary; Pittsburgh, United States; Rabat, Morocco; Paris, France; Beijing, China. It is a list that expresses the cosmopolitan and generous spirit of the poet who made friends with all of them; as the catalogue reveals, the basis of collaboration for Bonnefoy is friendship. The calligraphy that so often haunts these works is present in three or four languages: calligraphy is after all the common root of both poetry and painting.
In an introductory essay for the catalogue, Yves Bonnefoy observes that, despite the striking stylistic differences among his collaborators, various themes and preoccupations unite them, in particular, the motif of the tree. Invoking Ronsard's "Contre les bûcherons de la forêt de Gastine," he remarks that if you cut a tree down or reduce it to a concept, it can't inform, shelter or enhance your life by being the kind of existent it is. A great oak tree alone in a field, he writes, is an individual without self-consciousness and thus unites in itself universal and particular; and it is a model of reciprocity for and with us, breathing out what we breathe in, breathing in what we breathe out. Though as an art critic Bonnefoy writes perceptively about the violence of war depicted by Goya and the violated nudes of the great Venetian colorists who seemed, alas, to find stricken women erotic, there is nothing of the kind in the work of his friends. …

Argentinians have tended to assimilate more quickly into the local population than most other Latin American groups in the United States. Descending mostly from Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Russians, Poles, and other Europeans, Argentinian immigrants have generally identified with Euro-American ethnic groups in Chicago. The majority of Argentinians in Chicago are Roman Catholics and Jews.
Immigrants from Argentina have been arriving in Chicago since at least the 1920s, according to the Argentine consulate's offices, which opened in 1927. Most came from Buenos Aires, the capital. Generally, the male head of household arrived first, bringing his family later. Since the 1930s, a steady flow of students has come to Chicago to attend area universities, with many eventually settling permanently in the metropolitan area.
Immigration has tended to follow political events in Argentina. In the 1950s and 1960s, many college students and professionals left the country when the universities were closed down by the government and the economic situation was not favorable. During the political turmoil of the 1970s and 1980s, Argentinians arrived in Chicago as refugees, sponsored by the Lutheran Church and the United Nations.
Soccer (or futbol, as it is known in Argentina) constitutes one of the major recreational activities of Argentinians in Chicago, and the Chicago Pampas soccer club is especially important. Other organizations include the Casa Argentina, a social club with approximately 75 members who gather weekly to play soccer and mingle. The Argentine American Medical Association of the Midwest represents the disproportionately large number of doctors among Argentinian immigrants. Both groups hold special events to commemorate Argentina's national holidays and celebrations with tango music and dancing as well as picnics in the summer.
The popularity of tango music and dancing during the closing years of the twentieth century brought Argentinians into the limelight, evidenced in performances, films, musical revues, and several schools of dance, which along with restaurants, have helped to reverse the earlier invisibility of Chicago's Argentinians.

An ancient mystery, a hidden language, and the secrets of a bizarre Egyptian sect collide in modern-day London in this ingenious novel of seduction, conspiracy, and betrayal alter Rothschild is an American Egyptologist living in London and charged by the British Museum with the task of unlocking the ancient riddle of the Stela of Paser, one of the last remaining real-life hieroglyphic mysteries in existence today. The secrets of the stela-a centuries-old funerary stone-have evaded scholars for thousands of years due to the stela's cryptic reference to a third translation:
Walter Rothschild, a middle-aged Egyptologist at the British Museum, has abandoned his wife and child to spend his time obsessively poring over the dusty inscriptions of a dead civilization. He is forced to reconnect with life when he is seduced by a mysterious woman who then steals an ancient papyrus containing the key to the enigmatic hieroglyphics of the Stela of Paser. The conspiracy trail leads Walter to a modern-day cult of the Egyptian sun god, Aten, protected by a menacing team of pro wrestlers. In Bondurant's ambitious debut, a sprawling picaresque is infused with mythic resonance by linking it to ancient Egyptian literature and mythology and to concepts in avant-garde physics, including black holes, general relativity and string theory. The author has an inventive imagination and an ardent feel for place; much of the book is a prose poem to London's squalid demimonde. Though some may feel that Bondurant's erudition and philosophical engagement ("the only way... to make sense of the magnitude of the time and the space and the span of humanity on earth is to grasp onto the one thing that gives you a clear look") slow the pace of his mystery, the success of previous literary novels of suspense bodes very well for this one. .

The Troy Public Library is committed to providing an atmosphere where people of all ages may come to read, browse, do research, study or attend a program. This policy does not prohibit quiet conversation between patrons and/or staff members or conversations required to carry on library programs or business. It is designed to preserve a reasonably quiet atmosphere where library patrons may use library services and materials without unacceptable disturbance.
It is each patron’s responsibility to maintain their own proper behavior in order to insure protection of their individual rights and the rights and privileges of other patrons.
This policy has been established for the benefit and security of patrons, staff and the library facility. In order to provide a suitable library atmosphere, the following rules related to behavior have been established.
If a patron disregards these rules, or if a person is not responsive to the efforts of staff to enforce the rules, the patron will be asked to leave the library. If the patron refuses to leave the library, the police will be called to remove them.
In order to insure that all those using the library may enjoy the Library’s services, all patrons are to respect the following rules:
- Beverages must have a lid.
- Cell phones are to be put on “vibrate” and calls taken or placed only in designated areas (lobby, vestibules, café).
- Food is allowed only in designated areas (lobby, vestibules, café).
- No bicycle, tricycles, skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, or skates.
- No smoking of any kind, including eCigarettes.
- No patron will enter “Staff ” areas or use staff equipment without permission.
- No behavior that is disruptive, harassing, or threatening in nature to patrons or staff.
- No person shall willfully annoy another person.
- No person shall damage or deface public property.
- No person shall engage in loud or boisterous behavior.
- No person shall use profane, obscene, or offensive language.
No person shall be in a state of intoxication that causes a public disturbance.
- No person shall enter the library or remain in the library without a shirt and shoes.

- No violation of any local, state or federal law within the library
Behavior within the library that disturbs another person or invades their right to privacy, including, but not limited to, staring at, photographing, or videotaping patrons or staff, is prohibited.
Handling Inappropriate Behavior
It is the charge of library staff to see that the rights of individuals to use the library are upheld and the rules are enforced. The staff member “on-duty” shall enforce these rules.
Occasionally, staff members may have to deal with patrons who violate the rules. The staff member will ask for them to refrain. If the patron has to be asked again to cease their objectionable behavior, then they will be asked to leave the library. If they refuse to leave the library, the staff member “on duty” will call the police and a brief written report about the incident and the action taken will be filed with the Library Director.
“Unattended” means that the parent or designated caregiver is not in close proximity to the child. Library staff cannot be expected to assume responsibility for the care of unsupervised children in the library. Parents or caregivers are responsible for their children’s behavior while in the library.
All children of elementary school age must be in the company of a parent/care-giver while in the library. Even if the child is attending a program, it is required that the parent/caregiver remains in the library throughout the program.
If it is determined that a child is lost or left unattended, a staff member will attempt to locate the parent/caregiver. If the parent/caregiver cannot be found, then the staff person “on-duty” will call the police.
Minors at the Library After Closing
Minors are defined as anyone under 18 years of age.
If the minor is still here 15 minutes after the closing time, Troy Police will be called and the minor will be escorted to the station to await a ride.

Global Website:Webdesign im internationalen Umfeld Oliver Meidl
In today´s hyper-connected world, any brand with a website or digital presence is ´global´ by its very definition; yet in practice it takes an enormous amount of strategic planning and adaptability to successfully manage an international brand. Global Brand Management explores the increasingly universal scope of brand management. In an era when many brand managers will find themselves working for large multinationals operating across varied territories, categories and consumer groups, developing an understanding of both the opportunities and risks of multinational brands is truly essential. Meticulously researched, Global Brand Management shows readers how to manage an existing global brand, while simultaneously equipping them with the skills to build one from scratch. The text uses fascinating case studies including Oreo, Harley Davidson and Xiaomi to demonstrate the challenges of maintaining a stable brand identity when operating across territories with different languages, cultural values and logistics. With helpful pedagogy throughout and built-in features to enhance classroom learning, Global Brand Management is the perfect springboard for students to appreciate, enjoy and embrace the nuances and complexities of brand management on an international scale.
This fully revised fifth edition continues to offer the authoritative introduction to today´s global political economy and its historical context. O´Brien and Williams move beyond the traditional three-paradigm perspective to show how these theories can be applied and their efficacy in tackling key developments and issues. In doing so, the authors offer an all-encompassing analysis of the multiple theories, themes, and issues to create a comprehensive guide to the topic. The authors first trace the evolution of the global economy from its roots in fifteenth century through the Industrial Revolution, to the post-1945 world order. They then proceed to explore in more detail the dynamics of today´s global political economy, providing systematic coverage of the key spheres of activity, from trade, production and finance to social divisions, development, the environment, ideas, security and governance. This edition includes new material on the Greek financial crisis and the changing role of the BRICS countries in global governance, as these developments upset the dominance of the US and Europe in the world economy today. Supported by multiple boxed exhibits, further reading links, and a fully-featured companion website, this text is designed to be as accessible as possible. Online, students will find essay and multiple choice questions, podcasts and videos, timelines, and other materials to help consolidate learning.

AWARDED 2022 NORDIC COUNCIL CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S LITERATURE PRIZE
Awarded the 2021 Ministry of Culture Graphic Novel Prize
Awarded the 2021 Riksmål Prize for Excellent Prose
Awarded “GOLD Best Illustrations Children’s Books 2022”
The Year’s Most Beautiful Books (the Norwegian Designer’s Guild’s Visual Prize)
“This year’s prize winner has created a book which engages, touches and makes the reader reflect on collective, political societal issues alongside individual, existential questions.
The book’s visual language is sober and consistent, and carries a clear personal touch. Through pictures and text, the main character’s inner and outer life is depicted in an expressive and unsentimental way. The illustrations are fluid with an everyday melancholy, while the written language is both believable and spoken. Where the text withholds information, the pictures take over as the main narrator of the story. The use of colours is deliberate, effective and telling, and shows how the book’s creator is able to elegantly outline the boundary between past and present, between dreams and reality.”
From the Nordic Council jury’s statement
“(…) full of hope (…) few, or none, describe the depression of a nation and the tense atmosphere fall 2011 the way Nora Dåsnes does (…) A fine deed (…) Nora Dåsnes draws Oslo most likely the way Edvard Munch would have done today.”

“Missed Calls is a small story that makes a major impression.”
Erik Barkman, Weekendavisen
A month has passed since the terrorist attack July 22nd. Rebekka didn’t know anyone who died and she believes that she is a kind of person who can keep on living. When her best friend become a member of a political party, Rebekka gets occupied with the school’s revue, in Daniel with the curly hair, in partying, with school work, and with friends.
The problem is that Rebekka is thinking of the terrorist attack all the time.
A graphic novel about being young in the time following a terrorist attack. A story about searching for meaning in life when you are facing the meaningless. It’s a story about being on the outside, about sorrow and anxiety, and it’s a story about how demanding it can be to reach out for each other, and how crucial it is when we manage.

Marc Bolan Concert Films
Ride On: A Magic Dream
Runtime: 55 minProduced 2005 Marc Bolan was one of the major glam rock figures of the early '70s and at the height of his career, was as big as The Beatles and bigger than Bowie. He was a flamboyant entertainer and extraordinary performer for his millions of adoring fans. 'Ride On' takes you on a journey from his struggles on the back streets of North London, to his success achieving international recognition. The programme also features many of Bolan's famous hits, including "Get it On" and "Wild Swan" and shows the in-depth story of Marc Bolan and his rise to success.
Rolan Bolan, Marc's son, authorized the programme which is packed with never before seen footage of Bolans' performances and exclusive interviews with his friends and long-time lover Gloria Jones. These interviews provide an insight into his career, which lasted two decades and saw Bolan through the Glam Rock movement, to the start of the Punk revolution.
Marc Bolan Top Tracks
Live At Montreux
Runtime: 1 hr 40 minStatus Quos album Pictures (released in November 2008) celebrated 40 years of Status Quo filling the UK charts with hit after hit. The album was an instant success, charting at No.8 and selling over a quarter of a million copies in the UK alone. In July 2009 the Pictures live tour landed at Montreux in Switzerland as part of the world famous festival. The band, led as always by the twin Telecasters of Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt, delivered a blistering set of hits and classic tracks from across their career including no less than 18 UK Top 20 hits. Huge screens behind the stage illustrated high points from Quos career and the usually reserved Swiss crowd were rockin all over the Auditorium.
Sensation - The Story of Tommy
Runtime: 1 hr 20 minThe Who’s seminal double album “Tommy”, released in 1969, is a milestone in rock history. It revitalised the band’s career and established Pete Townshend as a composer and Roger Daltrey as one of rock’s foremost frontmen. The first album to be overtly billed as a “rock opera”, “Tommy” has gone on to sell over 20 million copies around the world and has been reimagined as both a film by Ken Russell in the mid-seventies and a touring stage production in the early nineties. This new film explores the background, creation and impact of “Tommy” through new interviews with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, archive interviews with the late John Entwistle, and contributions from engineer Bob Pridden, artwork creator Mike McInnerney plus others involved in the creation of the album and journalists who assess the album’s historic and cultural impact.
One For the Road
Runtime: 1 hr 10 minOn this 1980 live album, the first power chords of “The Hard Way” resume the full-on guitar pummel that first announced The Kinks with “You Really Got Me.” Their '70s hit “Catch Me Now I’m Falling” includes the riff from The Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” The Pretenders covered “Stop Your Sobbing”. The Jam nailed “David Watts.” “Lola” was again becoming a minor hit. As per usual, The Kinks admit what other bands won’t. They did careful overdubs on this live album to make it sound even better. While there are greatest-hits albums that collect the group’s highlights, this live set is a great reintroduction for old fans.
Runtime: 48 minBryan Ferry has always coupled his own songwriting with a great reputation as an interpreter of other peoples songs. His latest album Dylanesque sees him reinventing a selection of his favorite Bob Dylan songs in the unique Ferry style. Dylanesque Live: The London Sessions shows him performing all the tracks from the album live in the studio and also features insights from Bryan on his thoughts regarding the different tracks and why he chose them.
It Had to Be You
Runtime: 1 hr 50 minRod Stewart found a new audience singing the great popular songs of the early 20th century. It Had To Be You: The Great American Songbook features live renditions of songs from his first album of classic standards plus nine of Stewart’s own classics.
Live and Wild in Preston
Runtime: 49 minThe Troggs have a 36 year history and at a concert in Preston in the UK during spring 2002 they played to a sell out audience and in return performed a "Global Jukebox" of the majority of their worldwide hits. Wet Wet Wet covered their "Love Is All Around", taking it to number 1 in the UK charts for 15 weeks. Despite that success the band are wary of committing themselves to recording any new material and are even limiting the number of concert appearances they make in future. Reg said "I don't really enjoy too much touring so we are stopping doing long tours in the future". This film is a succinct collection of songs that provides a neat reminder of the very large part The Troggs played in developing the classic sixties sound.
More Than This
Runtime: 52 minRoxy Musics unique blend of avant-garde rock music and high style set the tone for the whole glam rock era. They were much imitated, but never equalled. This documentary tells the story of Roxy Music through new interviews with band members Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay, Paul Thompson, Brian Eno, and Eddie Jobson plus many of their contemporaries. The program covers their early years, the classic seventies albums, their re-emergence with a much smoother style in the early eighties, the bands break up and then their hugely successful reunion in the 21st century. The final 15 or so minutes is what fans will be looking forward to the most. From a London concert in 2006, Roxy Music are shown playing "Both Ends Burning," "Editions of You," and "Do The Strand." For anyone interested in the history of one of seventies most inscrutable bands, Roxy Music - More Than This is an excellent addition to your collection.
The Man Who Stole the World

Summary: WHAT SECRETS LIE SHROUDED IN DARKNESS?Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings-not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands. Her logical, lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real- but she could hardly deny what she'd seen'and touched.The mystery man, Alban, was a gargoyle. One of the fabled Old Races who had hidden their existence for centuries. Now he was a murder suspect, and he needed Margrit's help to take the heat off him and find the real killer. And as the dead pile up, it's a race against the sunrise to clear Alban's name and keep them both alive.'

The Conceptual Evolution of DSM-5 highlights recent advances in our understanding of cross-cutting factors relevant to psychiatric diagnosis and nosology. These include developmental age-related aspects of psychiatric diagnosis and symptom presentation; underlying neuro-circuitry and genetic similarities that may clarify diagnostic boundaries and inform a more etiologically based taxonomy of disorder categories; and gender/culture-specific influences in the prevalence of and service for psychiatric disorders. This text also considers the role of disability in the diagnosis of mental disorders and the potential utility of integrating a dimensional approach to psychiatric diagnosis.
A powerful reference tool for anyone practicing or studying psychiatry, social work, psychology, or nursing, The Conceptual Evolution of DSM-5 details the proceedings from the 2009 American Psychopathological Association's Annual Meeting. In its chapters, readers will find a thorough review of the empirical evidence regarding the utility of cross-cutting factors in nosology, as well as specific suggestions for how they may be fully integrated into the forthcoming fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

If you have been following this blog you will have noticed that I am a frugal crafter. I love the idea of using something that is destined for the trash bin to create a fun and new item. The idea of creations using discarded library books came from the desire for a door decoration for my classroom. See the original post here Spring is Here!. I also used picture books to create a different look here Picture Book Pennants. This one still makes me smile every time I see her window.
Since I had used some of the books to make the pennants there was a stack of book covers that were destined for the trash if I did not figure out something to do with them. So the ideas began to roll around in my head and I settled on making book cover signs. The book cover is the "board" that the signs are created on.
Here are a few that I made in a Fall theme.
I will post soon how to make this beautiful background.
The above picture shows the true coloring of this sign but was a little blurry.
The green of this sign is the original color of the book. I did not paint or cover it at all.
The basic steps to making a book cover sign are fairly easy. Some of the process can take more time than others. I will post a more detailed description of the process at a later time.
These signs will make a great addition to any place you want to show your greetings or sentiments. So the next time you are working on a project stop and think about what could be done with the leftovers before you throw them away.


The Heptarchia (seven-fold rulership) is the name given to the Enochian system of planetary angel magick. Dr. John Dee and his scryer Edward Kelley left behind journals outlining the names of the Heptarchic angels, their appearances and functions, sigils, and even a grimoire. However, the information for these angels is incomplete and even a bit puzzling. Here Aaron Leitch, author of The Essential Enochian Grimoire, sets about restoring the Heptarchia so it can be fully used for angelic invocation.
What is Enochian Magick? How did John Dee and Edward Kelly come to possess knowledge of the Angelical language previously hidden? And how did that Angelical language become what we today know as Enochian Magick? Aaron Leitch, author of The Angelical Language, Volume I and Volume II, explains.
From the very advent of the spoken word among humanity, language has been considered something sacred and magickal, and remains so to this day. Still, priests and mystics have begun to look into the past for sacred language for use in religious rites. Eventually the belief has developed that all languages must trace their roots to some original prototype. What is this original language, traced back to God? Aaron Leitch, author of The Angelical Language, explains.
Today, many students are familiar with the so-called Holy Inquisitions (also known among Neopagans as the “Burning Times”) conducted by medieval religious authorities. It brings to mind images of Pagan midwives and healers (or “witches”) suffering ...
