John Cavadus Whitehead (July 10, 1948 – May 11, 2004) was an American singer and songwriter. He was best known as one of the key members of the Philadelphia International record label, and was one-half of the successful team of McFadden & Whitehead with Gene McFadden.

McFadden and Whitehead wrote many hits for Philadelphia International artists such as The O'Jays and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, and had their own hit with "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" in 1979.

He was the father of both members of mid 1990s duo the Whitehead Brothers, and received an LL.D. from Bates College.

Death
On May 11, 2004, John Cavadus Whitehead was fatally shot, possibly in a case of mistaken identity, while fixing a car outside his home in Philadelphia. Another man with him at the time suffered light injuries from the multiple shots fired by two gunmen, who fled the scene. As of 2013, the murder remains unsolved. Whitehead was 55 years old and had converted to Islam in 1996 and is buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia.

Q: I have a problem loading large course package files into Moodle - I get an error saying the server responded with a status of 413 So my first thought was its a php config issue. I changed the php settings for the domain via Plesk to:
post_max_size = 2048M
upload_max_filesize = 2048M
I then checked the "General PHP Settings" for the server (also via Plesk) and changed the parameters in the php.ini file to
post_max_size = 2048M
upload_max_filesize = 2048M
This was in the '7.4.30 FPM application' Handler. I also checked the settings were the same in the '7.4.30 FastCGI application' Handler.
I then restarted the server and tried to load a large file into my Moodle system. I got a "Error connecting to the server" error.
I checked the "Files and Uploads setting in Moodle - it said "Site upload limit (2GB)" - all good!
In the browser debugger I could see that what I was actually getting was a 413 code error from an HTTP POST request generated by a php routine 'repository_ajax.php' - when I looked at this module it said it was part of the Moodle installation and that a given parameter would be blank if the file exceeded the Upload_max_filesize limit (which it didn't!) BUT the next line tested for 'blank' and threw the 413 error.
My next action was to check the server logs - I should have said this is a Cloud Server running Linux Ubuntu 20.4
The logs showed an nginx error "client intended to send too large body: 562992008 bytes" - which is the precise size of my file. So, I am comfortable that my problem is a server config issue with nginx and NOT a php config issue - which, after all is what the error message actually says.
My problem is I don't know how to change the nginx config - by using SSH Terminal I can see there is a file nginx.conf in /etc/nginx - but then I'm stuck - basically, I'm a Windows person and don't really know SSH OR nginx - can anyone help me?

A: OK - I was having a bad day and suffering from brain fog! - I was loading another site into a domain on the server and needed to add "story.html" as a custom index files for the site - I opened Plesk, selected the domain then clicked "Hosting and DNS" settings and "Apache & nginx Settings" to add a custom value to the index files list (which I have done many times before) AND THERE IT WAS!!! Further down the page "nginx settings" including "Maximum allowed HTTP request body size. I set it to 2048Mb on the domain I was having problems with and problem solved.....
Duuuuhhhh

Last week I updated the Command database and PDF file. This week brings updates for the system variables related documents. I have updated the table view of the system variables so it includes the new and changed system variables for AutoCAD 2010.
While the table view is updated, the descriptions and value tables for the new commands has not been started yet, so the extended version of the System Variables PDF is not updated as a result of this work not being done. The System Variables Quick Guide has been completed though. Like the Commands page on my Web site, the System Variables page only shows AutoCAD 2000 through 2010 but the PDF goes all the way back to AutoCAD R12.
Over the next few weeks, I will finish the work on the System Variables database and release a new version of the extended PDF file.

It's been described as the most important music video of the past 40 years – and when a host of iconic music stars joined forces to record Band Aid's Feed the World, little did they know it would raise £8 million in one year for starving people in Ethiopia.
The phenomenon began in 1984, when Bob Geldof, singer with new wave band the Boomtown Rats, and his wife, the late Paula Yates, were watching a BBC news report by journalist Michael Buerk on the devastating famine in Ethiopia. The presenter described it as "the closest thing to hell on earth".
The report brought the world's attention to the humanitarian crisis and Geldof decided to personally do something to help. At the time, Yates was the presenter of the Channel 4 music show, The Tube. One of the live acts performing that week was Ultravox, whose lead singer, Midge Ure, was an old friend of Geldof's.
Following a phone call from Geldof to Ure in the dressing room during the show, the idea of Band Aid was formed. The first meeting of the Band Aid organisers took place on 5th November 1984, when they discussed the ambitious idea of bringing together a host of top artists to record a fundraising record.
Geldof then began recruiting other stars to sing on the record, the first one being Sting, lead singer of the Police, who agreed straight away. Other stars, such as Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet, Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt of Status Quo, Paul Weller of The Jam and Glenn Gregory of Heaven 17 were soon on board too.
Finally, a massive cast was assembled to record the song, Feed the World (Do They Know It's Christmas?), which was written by Geldof and Ure. The combined artists called themselves Band Aid.
Other artists included the girl group Bananarama, Bono of rock band U2, Boy George, Phil Collins, Chris Cross, George Michael, Paul Young and more. The recording was co-produced by Ure and Trevor Horn, who was one of the most in-demand producers of the 1980s, who had already produced Frankie Goes to Hollywood's three number one singles.
A surprise addition to the recording was the American soul band, Kool and the Gang. Signed to the same record label as the Boomtown Rats, they were in London visiting Phonogram when Geldof walked in to discuss his idea for the charity record and they said they would like to be involved.
It was the first time such a gathering of stars had joined forces to record a charity song and it was one of the most momentous occasions in the history of popular music. The song was recorded at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, which was donated free of charge for the duration of the recording and mixing.
The resulting song became one of the biggest Christmas hits of all time. Released on 3rd December 1984, a million copies were sold in the first week. By the final day of 1984, it had sold more than three million copies. It was the UK's number one hit single over Christmas and it also took the top spot across Europe and in Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
It went on to replace Mull of Kintyre by Wings as the UK's biggest-selling single of all time, notching up 3.8 million copies, until it was displaced by Candle in the Wind by Elton John, which was released in 1997 to commemorate the death of Princess Diana.
Initially, Geldof's aim had been to raise £70,000 for the Ethiopian famine victims, but the song surpassed all expectations and raised an incredible £8 million within a year. It also raised awareness of the need for financial aid for Ethiopia, leading to other charity singles being recorded in the UK and the American aid effort for Africa, We Are the World.
The recording also spurred spin-off charity events such as the annual fundraiser, Comic Relief, plus the momentous Live Aid concert in July 1985. There were three further recordings of Do They Know It's Christmas – in 1989 and 2004 (1.8 million copies sold), it raised money for famine relief, while in 2014, it raised money to combat the West African Ebola crisis.

Hello, friends! I'm so excited to have you here today! We are gathered again, as a group of interior and lifestyle bloggers, to bring all of you some fabulous spring inspiration. Thanks to our friend Krista from The Happy Housie for hosting our "Seasonal Simplicity Tours" this spring. If you are visiting from her blog or from Sincerely Marie Designs, there's no doubt you have already been pinning inspiration! I have a round-up of all the spring fun I've had lately and there' still more to come. If you're new here, you'll see that for my spring home tour I've used accents of blush and blue and it's been so fun sharing spring decorating tips, spring fashion, spring recipes, and spring printables with you!
I started off this spring by sharing with you my Rain Gear Round-Up. Spring showers bring those beautiful flowers and we get more than most of you, being in the Pacific Northwest. I don't mind the rain and it's so gorgeous here but I definitely find importance in staying dry while being fashionable as well.
My mantel before spring was bright and simple with mixed metals. I added a hint of blush and blue to my mantel for spring and even shared another variation for Easter by adding a few things.
I found the cutest blue striped tablecloth with tassels and knew I wanted to use it for my Easter table with blush pink and a vintage milk glass place setting.
This was one of my favorite tables ever, for a few reasons. Read HERE to find out why and to see the tassels on the tablecloth and the entire finished table.
Also in that same blog post, I share how I added pink and blue to my bright white kitchen for the spring and the new rug runner I found.
No matter what your spring color palette is, I used things I already had to style my kitchen using those colors. See more and read all about it HERE.
One of my favorite things about spring time is that we get outside more…even in the rain! It warms up just a little bit and the sun comes out and we start playing out in the neighborhood again. Being in a brand new subdivision and one of the first ones to build in our cul-de-sac, we now have a bunch of homes being finished and all these new neighbors are moving in. We were soooo excited! I made these darling printable gift tags for baked goods and shared them with all of you. Brooklyn (my 12 year-old) made delicious Snickerdoodles and we brought these to all our new neighbors (they all seem to be moving in at once) and introduced ourselves and welcomed them to the neighborhood. You can print and use these tags from this post.
After winter is over and we put away our hot cocoa bar, I transform the bar cart into a Spring Bar Cart with fun drinks on hand for all ages. I also share this beautiful and comfortable ruffled skirt for spring.
And if company is coming, I put out some baked goods as well. I also like to change up my candles and freshen my home up with fruity and flowery scents and put away all the pine and cinnamon.
In my most recent Current Crushes post, I share home accents I love for the spring as well as fashion and gift ideas. It's a must-read! I just love when my girlfriends tell me about a fun find or a good sale….don't you?!
My daughter and I just LOVE to bake and we do it year-round. In the spring, you will usually find cakes and baked goods with lemon or coconut or other fruity flavors. Last weekend we made this Pink Lemonade Chiffon Naked Cake and it was HEAVENLY!! The recipe is easy and sooooo delicious. Find this recipe HERE.
I recently received new pillow covers for the spring from Willa Skye Home. These blush linen pillow covers, paired with the spa blue antelope pillow covers just brought such an elegance to this bright living room for the season.
The quality is superb and her variety of fabrics is phenomenal. I absolutely loved working with WSH to create this stylish spring look! You can visit my Living Room post to get all of the sources on this space and also shopping links.
Do you see who else got a new bed for spring?
It's the cutest lucite and brass dog bed I found at HomeGoods a couple of weeks ago and I'm so glad he finally warmed up to it because it looks perfect in the living room!
I told you all that I've been freshening up my foyer for spring. I love to "shop my home" and move things around when I get sick of spaces. I pull out all of my faux flowers and decided to use blush, obviously. And 4 months later, I have to say that this gorgeous chandelier from my friends at Bellacor still takes my breath away every time I go downstairs. Read all about it and the rest of the items in this space HERE and see a closeup of the chandelier.
I also stocked up on more faux pink peonies and cherry blossoms from Michael's. I posted this pic on Instagram (but a more zoomed out shot) and everyone thought they were real. Now, I buy fresh flowers for the house every week but when it's spring and I really want to bring out a lot of cherry blossoms and peonies and roses and more, it's wise to invest in some fabulous faux floral stems to save money AND not have to constantly change the water and cut your flowers every day or two.
I made some really fun straw totes with Brooklyn a couple of months ago (tutorial coming next week) and put it on our foyer bench with some faux pink peonies.
Instead of a faux fur throw and pillows on our bench, as we did in the winter, I used a light scarf that I could easily take with me and even use as a wrap if it's a chilly spring day. I also used linen pillows on our bench after putting the winter pillows away. And yes….I bought myself a new pair of sandals since it's warming up and my toes are dying to see the sun.
While "shopping my home" I used brought in both of my large and small temple jars and filled them with faux cherry blossom stems.
I kept the lamp but also put out a home interiors book I love and my newest GORGEOUS jar from my friend Alyssa. Her shop Amped Decor is so fabulous and I love so many of her pieces. After breaking my last jar that was identical to this, she heard about it and sent me this one. You MUST visit her online shop and see all of the fun things she sells as well as her lovely home. Get ready to swoon!
I wanted some framed art on this middle mirrored tray. I couldn't find anything that I truly loved so I decided to print out and frame one of my favorite pictures of a door in Portugal (where I lived years ago as a missionary) draped in blossoming branches during spring. It has the prettiest blue door and I just look at it and smile, reflecting on some of the best memories.
In a smaller frame, I added a print of blush and blue butterflies that I designed. If you're interested, let me know. I might just add another blog post and offer it as a free printable next week. Butterflies come and you just know it's spring time….right?!
I also added one of my favorite Agape Candles and I think it's the perfect spring entry table now.
On the other side of our entry, I removed the gray pillows from my faux fur settee bench and added this blush ruffle throw blanket from my online shoppe.
It's the perfect soft and elegant touch for spring.
I found this darling and affordable blush and blue geometric dress (here or here) and these shoes (similar here) and loved that they went with my spring interior color palette. You can't see the earrings very well but they are these ones and are sooooo cute!
I'm so glad you could stop by today and THANK YOU for being here! Next, my dear friend Heather from Setting For Four is sharing her Spring Tour and you don't want to miss it! She's also sharing her love for blush and blue and everything she does is just gorgeous!
Girl, your home is a girl's dream! I never get tired of the soft pink touches. Beautiful tour as always, friend!
Summer! Gorgeous tour! You are the cutest and your home is absolutely stunning – such pretty soft colours for spring! Glad you could be part of this tour series!
You have the most gorgeous home, Summer and I love the pops of pink and blue throughout along with your matching outfits!! You're so gorgeous yourself, inside and out.
I'm very new here, Love your taste in decor.
What a gorgeous home tour friend!! Love the blue accents you've added to the blush- we had the same colors in mind for Spring lol!! Those antelope pillows are breathtaking and I LOVE your dress and shoes!! Happy Spring sweetie!
All of this is just breathtaking!!!! I need to go get some faux flowers!
Summer, I love everything you've been doing for Spring this year! Love your color palette of blush and blue in your home and your fashion! It's all so beautiful!
Simply stunning! Thanks for sharing your beautiful blush and blue hues with us!
😍😍😍Your house is GORGEOUS! I love how crisp and clean the white cabinets and counters are in your kitchen. And the fresh blue and blush accents are so springy! I love that the pastel shades make it feel soft and inviting.
Your home is beautiful. Would you mind sharing where your kitchen lights are from? And what color they are?
Hi Kelly! Oh thank you so much! They are like a soft gold, kind of like a champagne color and I have them linked in this post for you below….

General Locksmithing
Beware of phony locksmith companies using bait and switch tactics
By Nick FilandrianosMarch 24, 2014September 11th, 2020No Comments
Just look at the phone book or online and you'll see hundreds of fly-by-night locksmith outfits using phony names and bogus addresses to fleece millions of dollars each year out of locals and tourists.
The scam emanates from New York and Florida and appears to be a highly organized criminal enterprise that flaunts local laws and has been known to use threats and intimidation against customers who are invariably in vulnerable situations.
An undercover police officer posing as a shopper locked out of car calls a company named Right On Time Locksmith. She is routed to another company, S and S Locksmith. When help arrives 15 minutes later in an unmarked van, the man says he works for a 3rd company, Mega-Locksmith.
The $30 fee mentioned on the phone gets bumped. "$50 bucks," says "locksmith" Eli Levy on hidden camera. I just say $50. Other companies are charging over $100 to open doors."
As soon as they hear a price mentioned, detectives who've been monitoring the exchange move in. Levy is an Israeli national and says this is his second day on the job. He has no business license, work card, or a valid driver's license.
He says he doesn't know how the three companies are linked and also says he doesn't need a business license. There's a very simple reason why the law requires a criminal background check for anyone working as a locksmith. Joe Esposito owned liberty lock for 29 years. "Locksmiths have the keys and the knowledge and the expertise to basically break into anybody else's house. A locksmith is basically a licensed burglar," he said.
Esposito and other legitimate locksmiths are appalled by the invasion of Las Vegas and other large cities by shady, unlicensed locksmith operators who are little more than a phone number. They take out huge ads in the Yellow Pages, have dozens of numbers under single listings, and essentially take over the market.
There are no background checks or work cards for the employees. Taxes aren't paid and the whole operation seems to be routed back to a central dispatch in New York. "It's millions of dollars. It's big. That's why they are doing it," said Esposito.
Even Metro doesn't know who owns these companies. "No not yet. It's definitely big. It almost seems like it's a human trafficking deal. You know, 'Come here, we're going to set you up in these, work when we say, do what we say,'" said Sgt. Lenny LaRusso with Metro's Privileged License Team.
Sgt. LaRusso's team has turned up the heat in recent months, using stings to send a message and to gather information. Two of the drivers busted Tuesday afternoon were sent out by the same dispatcher to the same location.
Like Ely Levy, Sal is also from Israel. "I'm a sick person, sir. I work part time. I have to eat. I'm not stealing," he said.
But it has all the markings of a scam. The most common complaint is that the locksmiths quote one price on the phone, and then something else in person.
Cheryl Delhagen needed new locks after her home was burglarized — a job that should have cost $150. "Finally at the end he presented me with a bill for $610," she said.
Customers say if they balk at paying, locksmiths threaten them or refuse to leave. Consumers have nowhere to go to complain.
LaRusso's team says few, if any, of the companies have actual offices. Search Google for Las Vegas Locksmiths and hundreds pop up, but the addresses are bogus. They're actually the addresses of fast food joints, Caesars Forum Shops, the Mandalay Events Center, or McCarran Airport. The office that sent out two of the men who were busted is, in fact, a locksmith shop but it's been closed down for many months.
One of the bogus companies listed the address of its office and it seemed very familiar to our I-Team producer Ian Russell. That's because it is his home address. He assures us there is no locksmith operation in his apartment.
Esposito says he's appealed to the phone company to at least ask for a business license before listing a locksmith company. He was rebuffed every time. "These people are very much taking advantage of the community and the phone company is basically assisting them in doing this," he said.
So how can you figure out which company is legit? Ask for advice from AAA, your insurance company, and know the signs of a scam.

Virtuous Vinyl: 50 Albums Every Man Should Own
Posted By Sean Tirman
Music is also known as The Universal Language. And that's because literally every single human culture that has ever existed has some version of it. It can cheer you up when you're down and it can commiserate with you if you're not looking to be cheered up. Simply put, music is an incredibly human form of art – perhaps the most human, actually.
While everyone has their own individual tastes, there are still some recordings that are widely considered to be the most influential and/or most important, if not the best. And it is these collections of songs we believe everyone should keep in their repertoire, both because they are enjoyable but also because they help give us a bit of depth, perspective, and understanding we might not otherwise have. So, while it is admittedly difficult to pin down a "best of" list of albums, we've boiled down 50 complete records (read:not greatest hits) that we believe every man should listen to and own, in some form or another. Whether you stream, still cling to CDs, or are a part of the vinyl turntable revival, give these a listen.
When it came out in 1996, this album topped the Billboard charts. And it's still wildly popular today. A part of that reason is because, even at his most nihilistic, 2Pac was a visionary lyricist. But it doesn't hurt to have someone as prolific in your corner as Dr. Dre, either. From "Only God Can Judge Me" to "California Love," All Eyez on Me is, simply put, brilliant.
Purchase: $14+
This offering from AC/DC – which boasts hits such as "Hells Bells," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," and the titular "Back in Black" – is the 6th best-selling album in United States history. And although it was released after the tragic death of the band's original lead singer, Bon Scott, there's no denying how anthemic this entire record is.
Purchase: $9+
This album is a legendary one for two reasons. Firstly, it's an unbelievably well-performed live record with features from some of rock and roll's greatest – including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, and more. But it's also a documentation of The Band's final show, making it an emotional one, to say the least. If you have any appreciation for rock music, you should give this one a listen.
Though it is not their most popular album, the 11th record in the Beach Boys' catalogue is arguably the most long-term influential. A part of that is thanks to songs like "God Only Knows" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice" which have enjoyed an interestingly long life in popular culture. But it's also because Brian Wilson garnered most of the creative control in regards to the build and flow of the writing on this album.
It's an odd story – a group of white jewish kids from New York turning from punk rock to hip hop and becoming one of the most influential groups in rap history. But it's true. The debut album from the Beastie Boys is still one of the best hip hop albums of all time and, so it seems, is comprised entirely of big hits from start to finish.
Though their career as a band was relatively short-lived, it's still really hard to decide which of the Beatles' albums is the best. There's a pretty good argument to be made, however, for this one. It's versatile, expansive, and features a whopping 30 original tracks. And it's influence can be traced to just about every corner of pretty much any popular musical genre.
People forget that the Jimi Hendrix song, "All Along The Watchtower," was actually written by Bob Dylan. Simply put, the nobel prize-winning musician is a lyrical virtuoso. And, although that particular song cannot be found on Blonde on Blonde, this record still shows Bob Dylan at perhaps his most bizarre and creative. The blues-inspired opening track, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35," is one of his most simple and fun, by the way.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
It should come as no surprise that Bob Marley made it on our list of records everyone should own. He is, after all, the reigning king of reggae – and likely will be for at least the entirety of our lifetime, if not longer. Exodus is special, however, as it is what we believe to be the most cohesive and complete record in his catalogue. And it doesn't hurt that it features some of the group's biggest hits, as well.
In our opinion, the Clash are the greatest punk band of all time. And, with what they offered up on London Calling, it's easy to see why. The album is loaded with hits that serve both to exhibit the sheer versatility of Joe Strummer and company and to keep your head shaking from beginning to end. Sorry, die-hard Ramones and Sex Pistols fans, but the Clash just had that little bit extra that rocketed them into the rock and roll pantheon.
Crosby, Stills, & Nash
David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and their eventual addition of Neil Young can reasonably be called one of rock's first supergroups. And they'd go on to have a tremendous amount of success and go down as one of the best rock ensembles of all time. If only for the opening track, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," this record deserves a spot on your shelf – and your record player.
Comprised solely of two Frenchmen, Daft Punk has become one of the greatest musical groups of all time. In fact, their influence has reached so far beyond their humble beginnings in the house genre, it's practically absurd. Even people unfamiliar with the group themselves have likely enjoyed their music at one time or another – thanks in part to their collaborations; ubiquitousness in popular television, radio, and film; and involvement in advertising. They are also part-owners of Jay-Z's music streaming service, Tidal.
The Grey Album
In 2004, now-legendary producer Danger Mouse created what might be called the greatest mash-up record of all time. It was comprised of samples from the Beatles' White Album overlaid with the vocal track from Jay-Z's The Black Album. The result was glorious, to say the least. In fact, the Grey Album could be credited as starting the mash-up craze that happened in the late 2000s. As a note, this is not an official pressing of the record, as only 3,000 were ever originally produced.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jazz is a strange beast, as far as musical genres go. That being said, we still believe every man should have a fairly intimate knowledge of at least one excellent jazz record. This one from the Dave Brubeck Quartet is definitely a good place to start. It's approachable, but still complex and deep. And it helps that some of the songs sound familiar, thanks to their frequent use in other mediums – like movies and television shows.
The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust
As crass as it sounds, there was a lot of crappy music that came out of the '70s and '80s. By contrast, David Bowie was a shining light of creativity and originality. Perhaps his most remembered, if not his ultimate album, The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is a concept album to end all concept albums. It also features the original appearances of "Suffragette City," "Moonage Daydream," and – of course – "Ziggy Stardust."
Let's Get Free
Dead Prez is a challenging hip hop group to listen to – partially because of their socially charged and, at times, violent lyrics. But, if you can understand where they are coming from or even just listen to it objectively, Let's Get Free is an astoundingly good record. If "Hip Hop" is the only song of theirs you've heard, it's time to expand your understanding of this group. Just remember that it's not for the faint of heart.
There should be no doubt in your mind that Dr. Dre is one of the best rap producers of all time. It should also come as no surprise that his solo record, The Chronic, is a musical staple in our minds. To be sure, this record is an explicit one, but that's hardly a drawback to anyone who appreciates good rap. Similarly, if you think you like rap and you've never actually listened to The Chronic, it's time to rethink your choices.
In March of 1956, the world was introduced to Elvis Presley, not knowing that he would go on to become one of the most iconic rock stars of all time. And while some of the songs remembered as Elvis songs were not, in fact, penned by the hip-swinger himself, he still immortalized quite a few of them – including "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Blue Moon" – here on his debut record.
Released in 1975, this multi-platinum rock album is incredible, to say the least. And, apart from its obvious commercial success, there's also a lot to be said about the story surrounding Fleetwood Mac and all of the group's trials and tribulations. As a fun fact, one of the band's namesakes, Mick Fleetwood, is also a huge car fanatic and has an incredibly collection and knowledge of motor vehicles.
In The Wee Small Hours
Ol' Blue Eyes had an extremely expansive career that stretched from about 1935 all the way to 1998. And that makes it pretty difficult to pin down which album of his you should own. It should go without saying, however, that you absolutely should own one of this crooner's records. And there's a lot of good to be said for In The Wee Small Hours. If we had to pick one, this is it.
Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash are some of the most highly respected musicians ever to have played country music. And this supergroup is comprised of all four of them. If you like a little bit of twang to your music, you're not gonna do better than this.
Are You Experienced
It seems a little bit unnecessary to tell you why this record should be in your collection. Jimi Hendrix was an innovator, a soulful musician, and extremely creative when it came to writing and playing music – especially guitar. Don't pass this one up.
At Folsom Prison
Not often is a musician's live record also their best. But that's exactly the case with Johnny Cash's At Folsom Prison. And that's not just because it was a stellar performance by the legendary country star (which it was), but also because of the energy given off by the rowdy crowd of inmates in the audience.
The College Dropout
Say what you will about the Kanye of today, but there's no denying his lyrical prowess and ability to put together a stellar tune on his first few records. His debut release, this album exhibited the hunger and raw talent of a promising young star. And, we hope he can find his way back to that humility and creativity sometime soon.
good kid, mA.A.d city
While Kanye west's debut record may go down as his best ever, Kendrick Lamar – a similarly visionary hip hop artist – hit his stride on his second. good kid, mA.A.d city is an astonishingly good musical journey from start to finish and, though we've listened to it a thousand times, we can still listen to it today.
Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround
Much of what we know of as indie music today can trace its roots back to a band that emerged in the mid 60s: the Kinks. And, to this day, they are still considered one of the most important and influential groups of the era. You're probably already familiar with their song "Lola," but we suggest giving "This Time Tomorrow" and "Powerman" a few extra listens.
You probably know Led Zeppelin, but were you aware that they were heavily influenced by the Lord of the Rings book series? Well, "Misty Mountain Hop" is actually a direct reference to The Hobbit. Even if you don't care about their appreciation of J.R.R. Tolkien, this is still a superb rock record from beginning to end.
Yes. Marvin Gaye is on our list of must-have records. And no, we aren't even remotely ashamed of that fact because, the truth is, Marvin Gaye was an incredibly good musician with a hefty dose of soul. Seriously, give this one a listen and try to say otherwise.
Not everything Metallica has produced has been worth listening to. In fact, a great number of fans will tell you that this album was the last worthwhile one they wrote. It also happens to be one of their absolute best. Opening with what is definitely the band's most commercially successful track, "Enter Sandman," this record gets off to an explosive start and doesn't quit until it's over.
This crotch-grabbing, Jheri curl-having, red leather jacket-wearing pop star was one of the greatest performers of all time. And it's a testament to his talent that Thriller is still one of the world's most popular records. Though his death was surrounded by mystery and his life was touched by controversy, there's no denying his stellar musicianship.
There are a vast number of jazz fans who will tell you that Kind of Blue is the greatest jazz record of all time. While we're not quite ready to jump on that bandwagon, we could certainly see why. At the very least, it's an beautiful performance by some truly impressive musicians – headed, of course, by one of the coolest cats to ever pick up a trumpet, Miles Davis.
When the fans, musicians, and critics alike proclaim from the mountaintops that an album is one of the absolute best offerings of a genre ever, you should probably take note. And that's exactly the case with Illmatic by Nas. His debut album from 1994 is harsh, raw, and powerful – and definitely deserves all the respect it's garnered.
Nirvana had an unfortunately short lifespan, due to the tragic suicide of Kurt Cobain. Thankfully, because their music was so impactful and important to so many people, it's still easy to get your hands on pretty much their entire discography. As far as best records go, this one won out by a hair over In Utero, but if you're going to get one, you'll likely end up with both.
Ready To Die
Biggy was to the east coast what 2Pac was to the west and, similarly, his collected works have certainly stood the test of time. As far as hip hop goes, you'll be hard-pressed to hear from any fan that this isn't a classic – even those with hardcore loyalty to any one coast or style. One thing to remember: the one with the white cover is the official original studio release; The black cover is an unfortunately tweaked (in a bad way) remaster on which several of the original samples have been removed due to legal issues. Stick with the original.
It could be said that this was one of the albums that ushered in a new wave of music that has, especially on the west coast, weathered the test of time quite well. If you like hip hop and have a special place in your heart for California, then you can truly do no better than N.W.A.
There's a lot of talk about East Coast vs. West Coast in the hip hop community, but we'd be remiss in our duties if we didn't give some love to rap from the south. And while they might not be what you'd call "commonplace," Outkast is most definitely a staple group of southern hip hop. Although their debut album, ATLiens, is still one of our personal favorites, Stankonia is the LP that catapulted the hip hop duo into super stardom.
Mothership Connection
If you're a fan of hip hop, jazz, or even rock and you've never dabbled in funk – the time is now. And there's no better group to start with than Parliament. Headed by the now-legendary George Clinton, this record is anything but boring and exemplifies the funk genre on the whole. Give it a listen; you might like what you hear.
There were three giants to emerge from the early '90s grunge genre: Nirvana, Soundgarden, and – of course – Pearl Jam. Piloted by Eddie Vedder, this record is a staple of the entire rock and roll genre, not just grunge. It's powerful, energetic, and passionate from start to finish and certainly has earned a spot amongst the best ever.
Fostering a bit more attitude than Bob Marley, this co-writer of "Get Up, Stand Up" doesn't get nearly the amount of recognition he deserves. His socially charged reggae is certainly less approachable than the radio-friendly Marley, but it is no less masterful in its own right. Equal Rights is a reggae record that certainly does not disappoint.
While Dark Side of the Moon is certainly their most popular album, it is our belief that The Wall is superior to it in nearly every other way. For starters, it offers much more lengthwise from start to finish, but it also manages to tell an interesting story interwoven throughout the record that is somehow not lost even when listening to it in individual doses. This album is absolutely one of the best ever.
Surfer Rosa
Though they came out around relatively the same time as grunge, the Pixies actually fit into a slightly different genre, called post-punk. They draw much inspiration from the aggressive late '70s anti-establishment youth-in-revolt musical style, but twist it in a more personal and, perhaps, conscious way. If you're entire familiarity with this band extends no further than "Where is my Mind?" it's time to change that.
Prince was an incredible musician in his time. Want proof? Just find some footage of him shredding on the guitar and allow your jaw to promptly drop. And while we wouldn't say that the film that shares a name with this album will go down in history as a great one, the record is nothing shy of outstanding.
OK Computer
OK Computer came out a whopping 20 years ago, but you can still turn on the radio to just about any rock station across the nation and hear a song off of it today. That's impressive and it's a testament to the writing prowess of Thom Yorke and company. Truth be told, singling out just a couple songs off of this album is doing the entire project a disservice. Listen to the whole thing. And then do it again and again and again.
People often compare this group to the Beatles – but, apart from time of emergence, musical genre of choice, and nationality, the comparison is moot. They are not similar and that's a good thing. The Beatles had experimentation and ephemerality, whereas the Rolling Stones have always been more about simple charged emotion. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
RUN-D.M.C.
One of the early giants of hip hop, RUN-D.M.C. is partially responsible for the first cross-genre collaboration with "Walk This Way," their twist on a popular Aerosmith song. They're also the group that can be credited with popularizing the Adidas shell toe sneaker outside of sporting applications. And did we mention how solid this album is? Seriously, pick it up.
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
Herb Alpert Presents
If you think that Bossa Nova is just a preset on one of Casio's keyboards, you're doing the entire genre a horrible disservice. Get reacquainted with it courtesy of one of the greats: Sergio Mendes. You'll likely find that you already know at least a couple of his songs, but if you don't: you're welcome for the introduction.
Gimme Fiction
There are bands that have far-reaching popularity amongst the masses. And then there's the bands that those bands look up to. Spoon is one of the latter group. Sure, they might not be a household name the world-round, but their incredible catalogue of music is about as good as they come. And Gimme Fiction sits squarely at the top.
Songs In The Key Of Life
It might seem hard to believe, but Songs In The Key of Life is Stevie Wonder's 18th studio album and 20th album overall. And, as such, it acts as proof not just of the man's ability to play music, but his overall ability to stay relevant and fresh. Stevie Wonder is a virtuoso – and this album proves it.
Their first U.S. release, Stray Cats managed to do something very interesting in their time: revive and revolutionize a dying form of music. These rockabilly bandits brandished the perfect mix of retro style with virtuosic playing that would've made Chuck Berry himself blush.
One of the leading groups of the "British Invasion," The Who have a vast and impressive catalog of albums and songs. The collection on Who's Next, however, is probably their best. With the distinct howling of Roger Daltrey over the music of Pete Townsend, John Entwistle, and rabid drumming of Keith Moon – The Who are certainly one of the most energetic of all classic Brit rock bands.
Enter The Wu-Tang Clan
The larger group (and several individual members) known as the Wu-Tang Clan actually derived their name(s) from old-school martial arts movies. And, while that's super cool on its own, the more important fact is that they are easily one of the most far-reaching and important hip-hop groups of all time. Interesting side note: RZA, one of the Clan's members, did the soundtrack for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.

Anna Burgese Sues W Hotel After Alleged Hooker Attack In Lobby
A New Jersey woman has filed a lawsuit claiming a gang of hookers attacked her and smashed her head into a wall in the lobby of the W South Beach Hotel in Miami because they mistook her for the competition.
Anna Burgese claims a gang of 10 sex workers assaulted her as she walked through the lobby with her husband, Joseph, because they thought she was trying take over their turf.
The suit claims the prostitutes threw Burgese face-first into a stone wall and knocked her to the ground before leaving the premises in taxis that the hotel staff had arranged, The New York Daily News reported.
She was treated for face and knee injuries at the hospital. The lawsuit was filed against hotel operator, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, in U.S. District Court in Camden. Among other things, the suit alleges the hotel "fosters a prostitute-friendly environment where prostitutes are permitted to market themselves on premises."
According to the lawsuit, hotel staff told Joseph that "they knew who the attackers were" but then later "claimed ignorance as to their identity." The couple's attorney, Lance Rogers, said the hotel has refused to release surveillance footage and that police have not made any arrests.
"The hotel has done absolutely nothing to help them and, in fact, has stood in the way of the process," Rogers said.
A spokesman for Starwood Hotels & Resorts said the resort "truly regrets that this incident occurred and that one of our guests was injured," adding "because of the pending litigation, we are unable to comment further at this time."

"Necessity is the mother of invention." That's what one of us should have said when we met all those years back on January 24th, 2005 in the dungeon of the Coeur d'Alene Tribal IT Department. Me and my staff were throwing ideas around about how we could use technology to preserve our tribal language, history, and culture. We talked about how having access to broadband was going to blurr the lines between technologies, and that once we got our own broadband network up and running we would be able to deliver voice, video, and data over the same pipe. Newberger, Jonathan, and I were brainstorming about developing a website where tribal people could create, upload, and share their own videos, music, and podcasts with each other and with tribal people across the nation.
At the time all we had was a good idea. The technology didn't exist to do it easily. We didn't have broadband on the reservation. We didn't have two 120' communication towers . We didn't have a Tribal Technology Center, and we definitely didn't have two terabytes of server space to fill. What we did have were tribal members with creative minds, energetic tribal youth who always seemed to have smiles for any cameras nearby, and tribal elders with stories to tell.
In order to make this work, we knew we would either have to find a way or make one ourselves. We began with the end in mind. Before we even broke ground on building out our broadband infrastructure, the first concrete step we took was to reserve the domain name "rezcast." That didn't work, so a co-worker came up with the idea to spell it with a "k." The heavens opened, our ancestors sang, and RezKast was born. We were on our way.
After three long years of collaborative tribal sweat building the Technology Center and broadband infrastructure, we have finally come to a point where invention can take shape. RezKast is the place where we can create our own tribal shows, our own tribal programming, and our own native content. It is our hope and intent that tribal people will use technology's greatest strengths to preserve their greatest truths.

Photographs by Laurence Parent
The Texas coast attracts everyone—children playing in the surf and building sand castles; high school and college students partying at spring break; adults easing workaday stresses by beachcombing, birding, fishing, or just watching the waves roll in one after another. In the coast's elemental landscape of low dunes, sandy beaches, salt water, and sea breezes, life itself seems simpler. There's time to watch the seagulls fighting over a fish, bodysurf in the waves, pick up shells on the beach, and reconnect with the healing rhythms of nature.
This beautiful book combines Laurence Parent's magnificent photographs with Joe Nick Patoski's entertaining text to create a one-of-a-kind portrait of the Texas coast. Parent's images capture Texas beaches, bays, estuaries, and salt marshes from Sabine Pass near the Louisiana border to Boca Chica, where the Rio Grande (sometimes) enters the Gulf of Mexico. He records all the familiar and distinctive scenes—sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico and sunset over the bays, sand dunes covered in goat-foot morning glories, historic lighthouses, shrimp boats and sailboats in harbor, and our favorite destinations of Galveston, Port Aransas, Corpus Christi, and South Padre Island. He also highlights lovely, lesser-known places you may not have discovered yet, such as Brazos Bend State Park.
Joe Nick Patoski takes you on a verbal tour of the Texas coast. He describes the irresistible allure of this undramatic yet somehow unforgettable chain of barrier islands and bays. He also acknowledges the human activity that has always been a part of the coastal story—the arrival of immigrants to settle Texas; Civil War battles at Sabine Pass, Galveston, and Palmetto Ranch; towns, such as Indianola, that flourished and then suddenly folded after devastating hurricanes; the building of a huge petrochemical industry; and the successful effort to create wildlife refuges to sustain migrating birds and endangered species such as whooping cranes and Kemp's ridley sea turtles.
Together, Parent and Patoski make it plain why people return to the coast as regularly as waves lap the beach. Looking through Texas Coast may well be where your next visit begins.
Excerpt from Texas Coast
The long, languid coastline of Texas takes her own sweet time seducing the senses. Lacking the immediate drama of an initial encounter with California's Big Sur, where the Pacific crashes against craggy cliffs and rugged outcroppings, or the soothing tropical ambience of the Florida Keys, she is not a stunner at first sight. But give her time, and that fine line where Texas meets the sea will steal your heart.
The Texas coast is the essence of the shore: sun, sand, surf, dunes, flats, wetlands, bays, estuaries, islands, and peninsulas. On the whole, it is a complex soup rich in marine life, shorebirds, and waterfowl. Industry is abundant along the same coastline for different reasons, mainly the easy access to the Gulf and the world beyond. Many of the more scenic parts of the coast have been obscured by resorts, condos, homes, and businesses. But even with those distractions and diversions, the Texas coast, that precise point at which sand, sky, and water converge, nourishes the soul like no other physical place on Earth.
The Texas coast emerges out of the murky swamps of southwest Louisiana at Sabine Pass and makes a near perfect crescent for 377 miles all the way to the dry, desiccated flats of Boca Chica, where the Rio Grande enters the Gulf of Mexico. Along that path, the story of a state, its people, and the natural world surrounding them unfolds.
The Gulf of Mexico is the most American of all waters, encompassing 596,000 square miles. It is the ninth-largest body of water in the world. Five states including Texas, five states in Mexico, and the island nation of Cuba share its waters, utilizing it as a source of sustenance and a means of getting around.
The Gulf is the primary supplier of water vapor that brings rain to the central and eastern United States. It produces a quarter of the United States' commercial fish and shrimp catch. Nine-tenths of the country's offshore oil and gas production comes from the Gulf. In return, it receives sediment and pollution from two-thirds of the United States, mostly from the Mississippi River.
The Texas coast plays a critical role in this productivity. Most migrating birds traveling the eastern and midwestern flyways leave and reenter the country via the Texas coast. Seventy-five percent of the migratory fowl in the United States depend on the wetlands of the Texas coast. So do the nation's automobiles and trucks—two-thirds of the country's petrochemical refineries are located near the Texas coastline.
Seven major bays, some as much as thirty-five miles in length or breadth, define the landmass behind the beaches along the Texas coast. Except during storm events, the Gulf's waves are relatively insignificant, though constant enough to work like a washboard to form three sets of sandbars off the shore.
The actual beginning of the Texas coast is an ill-defined spit of salt marsh called Texas Point, on the west side of Sabine Pass, where the Sabine River, separating Texas from Louisiana, meets the Gulf. Land's end is most easily reached by boat. A small two-lane bridge spans the river several miles above the pass, linking Louisiana Highway 82 to downtown Port Arthur, where it intersects Texas Highway 87. Highway 87 cuts through a major refinery zone before reaching open land and the town of Sabine Pass. Dowling Road and Jetty Road lead past a collection of rock pilings and mud flats to the pass proper, where the old lighthouse on the Louisiana side is the most prominent landmark. Sabine Pass Battleground State Park, upriver, is where Lieutenant Dick Dowling and a band of forty-six tough Irish dockhands from Galveston on behalf of the Confederacy used six cannons to destroy four Union gunboats in a notorious Civil War battle back in 1863. Sabine Pass was initially envisioned as a major port, but its exposure to hurricanes ultimately made Port Arthur (farther inland) the port of preference. The town of Sabine Pass later became famous for a messy culinary specialty called barbecued crab. (Blue crab is one of the culinary delicacies of the Texas coast, exported to restaurants around Chesapeake Bay when the local fare there is out of season.)
The upper Texas coast goes underappreciated, in no small part because of its steadily eroding shoreline. Highway 87, which once hugged the beach from Sabine Pass to the Port Bolivar (pronounced BALL-iver) Lighthouse and the Galveston ferry, no longer exists along a twenty-mile stretch. High Island, where the road resumes, marks the beginning of the Bolivar Peninsula, a slim sandbar twenty-seven miles long and no more than three miles wide, the first in a succession of offshore barrier islands that define the coast. The communities of High Island, Port Bolivar, Crystal Beach, Gilchrist, and Caplen aren't real towns so much as scattered clusters of beach homes and fishing businesses. Bolivar is renowned for its fishing, crabbing, hunting, and, increasingly, its birding. High Island is directly across the Gulf from the Yucatán Peninsula, which explains its world-class reputation for observing the spring and fall migrations. The biggest landowner on the peninsula is the Houston Audubon Society.
Bolivar's illustrious past is not evident. The Karankawa and Orcoquisa Indians lived on the peninsula as far back as 10,000 years ago, and it served as the gateway to Galveston Island for tribes from East Texas. Cabeza de Vaca, the Spanish explorer who provided the first written descriptions of Texas, walked around Bolivar after washing ashore on Galveston Island in November of 1528. Rebels waging a private war against Spanish rule and pirates used Bolivar as a base of operations. The French-Creole pirate Jean Lafitte, who headquartered in Galveston after fighting on behalf of the United States in the 1815 Battle of New Orleans, used the peninsula to move African slave traffic via slave runners, including Jim Bowie, from Galveston to the Sabine River, where Louisiana sugar planters paid one dollar a pound for the human cargo. Cotton, cattle, oysters, and watermelon have been mainstays of the peninsula's economy at one time or another. The salt dome of High Island and other nearby domes store the bulk of the United States' strategic oil reserves.
The Port Bolivar Ferry to the island is the longest ferry ride in Texas linking public roadways. It takes eighteen minutes to travel 2.7 miles across the maw of busy Galveston Bay. It's the best free ride in the state, passing Civil War bunkers and the black cast-iron Bolivar lighthouse, a parade of shipping traffic, and Sea Wolf Park.
In Galveston, you're somebody if you're BOI—Born on the Island—especially if you're a Moody, a Kempner, or a Maceo. Galveston is old Texas, and those families are old Galveston money.
Galveston used to be the state's biggest port until the Houston Ship Channel became a deepwater port in 1919. The city was once upon a time synonymous with high times and high rolling until May 30, 1957, when new sheriff Paul Hopkins raided the Balinese Room, a storied nightclub on stilts that extended several hundred feet into the Gulf, where illegal gambling was a long-tolerated tradition. The gift shop and museum that now occupy the space capitalize on those faded memories.
This is a real port town, the most urban beach resort in Texas, and a cloudy dream version of a New Orleans that hardly exists even in New Orleans anymore. Cruise down Broadway under the elderly palms, by the streetcar line flanked by elegant mansions, and you could just as well be on St. Charles Avenue. Galveston is where cutting-edge research is conducted on biological terrorism at a University of Texas lab and where marine science is studied at Texas A&M facilities.
Galveston bore the brunt of the Great Storm of 1900, a stealth hurricane that drowned the island and killed six thousand people, more than any other disaster in Texas history. Galveston is the Seawall, the location of the original spring break, Alpha weekend, Stewart Beach, the tall ship Elissa and the Texas Seaport Museum, and the Flagship Pier. Galveston is the biggest Mardi Gras this side of the Crescent City and the Moody Gardens rain-forest-under-glass, IMAX included.
Enough remnants of the past survive to qualify the city as Texas's most historic, though San Antonians might quibble with that brag. The Hotel Galvez is still a grande dame. The Strand, several city blocks of sturdy red-brick and cast-iron structures, has been gussied up and now bustles more than it has since it was the Wall Street of the South back at the close of the nineteenth century. But there's still just enough funk between the city's toes, such as the Poop Deck, "Where the Elite Meet in Their Bare Feet," and the stepped-up rice and turnip greens at Leon's World's Finest In and Out B-B-Q House, to keep the place honest, just as the jalousies of the weathered French provincial homes on the back streets keep the Bishop's Palace, perhaps the most majestic edifice in Texas, and the ancient Rosenberg Library in perspective.


An announcement on supports for farmers and agricultural businesses in the event of a no-deal Brexit will be made "at a time that is deemed appropriate", according to Government sources.
"The minister has been working with Government and the European Commission to ensure supports will be available to protect farmers in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
An announcement on no-deal supports will only be made at a time that is deemed appropriate.
"The evolving political situation is being monitored closely in this regard," the spokesperson added.
Earlier today (Wednesday, March 20), UK Prime Minister Theresa May has said that she is "not prepared to delay Brexit any further than June 30" while speaking in the country's parliament.
May confirmed that she had written to European Council President Donald Tusk requesting an extension to the Brexit 'deadline day' of March 29; she has asked for that date to be pushed back to June 30.
The prime minister expressed her hope that she would be able to revive the withdrawal agreement – which was negotiated late last year and has been defeated in two separate votes in parliament.
I am writing to inform the European Council that the UK is seeking an extension to the Article 50 period until June 30, 2019.
On Monday, the speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, ruled that the deal could not be brought back for another vote unless it was "substantially different".

Local Theater Companies Fight Through Pandemic and Hope to Survive
January 9, 2021 January 9, 2021 Martin Wilbur	1083 Views Armonk, Pleasantville, Westchester County, Yorktown	5 min read
A scene from Hudson Stage Company's October 2019 production of "A Doll's House, Part 2." Like many local theater organizations, the group's co-founder, Denise Bessette, right, are improvising to survive the pandemic.
It's been well-documented how COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on restaurants and the travel and hospitality industries.
The situation has been similarly challenging for local theater companies, but so far some have managed to stay afloat long enough to hopefully welcome back live audiences when the pandemic abates.
Whether receiving assistance through grants, government funding, donations from a dedicated contingent of patrons or the use of technology, three local companies are all optimistically planning a return to the stage for the fall – or whenever it's safe to do so.
"Everybody, I think, seems to be finding a way to stay alive," said Denise Bessette, co-founder of Hudson Stage Company and one of its artistic directors.
Warning signals flashed in October when Westchester Broadway Theatre announced it was closing after 45 years, a blow to the local theater scene.
"It was disheartening to see that," remarked Adam Cohen, co-founder and artistic director of Arc Stages in Pleasantville. "We've managed to keep it going, I think, mostly because of our educational programming."
Arc Stages in Pleasantville and Yorktown Stage have been helped enormously by their ability to offer those programs to youngsters as well as camp last summer. The programs have been conducted both live and in person, and both organizations are looking to offer those choices again this year.
Cohen said virtual classes in April, followed by a full summer camp requiring social distancing, masks and adhering to occupancy guidelines, operated relatively smoothly. Tents were set up outside in the parking lot to accommodate the summer campers.
A veteran of Hudson Valley theater productions for decades, Jeff Schlotman reprised his role as Captain Hook in a production of Peter Pan in 2015 at Yorktown Stage.
It was a similar experience for Yorktown Stage, said Barry Liebman, its president and producing director. Unable to hold performances for its professional Main Stage productions, Liebman said he and his staff of four full-timers focused their efforts to keep their educational programming going for survival but also to provide local children something to do over the summer.
During July and August, he estimated about 800 kids participated in the programs that used space outdoors as well inside at its theater space with doors open at the Yorktown Cultural and Community Center, which the company rents from the town. The children's productions were held in the empty theater but streamed online.
Yorktown Stage has also been maintaining about 100 children in its dance school programs. However, the money from groups throughout Westchester and beyond who would normally rent the theater evaporated nearly overnight with the onset of the pandemic.
"The camp is the reason why we've lasted this long," Liebman said. "The money that came in for camp, number one, paid off the renters who had pre-paid who could no longer use the theater. We paid off the ticketholders for the shows that we canceled and paid off our campers who dropped out to make room for other campers."
Yorktown Stage did receive Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) money last year, but it was minimal because it only employs four full-time employees, Liebman said.
However, Hudson Stage wasn't eligible for PPP money but was one of the arts organizations that received funds from Westchester County by applying through ArtsWestchester, Bessette said. That will go toward financing the next season, which she hopes will be a return to their theater space at the North Castle Public Library in Armonk in the fall.
"They really rallied for us and they really came through so we could at least have this (next) season underwritten, which is what we're doing because otherwise I don't think we could have afforded to do anything," Bessette said of the assistance. "We have to save our money for when we're back in production."
All three local theater groups have also received donations from supporters and the community. Cohen said Arc Stages' fundraiser in September, a hybrid event with limited attendance on site along with most attendees participating virtually, was highly successful. Yorktown Stage has been helped by a patron list of close to 10,000 that it can draw upon, according to Liebman.
Bessette said while their donations have lagged compared to previous years, Hudson Stage organized a fundraising event last July, a virtual one-act play titled "Distance," written by Joshua Allen, where a woman logs onto a Zoom call to catch up with old friends but confronts someone from an unresolved relationship.
Actors Chris Messina and Betty Gabriel in Hudson Stage's virtual one-act last summer "Distance." The pandemic has forced local theater groups to get creative to stay in business.
It also has scheduled one virtual reading a month starting in February for four months.
The advantage of the July event is that it connected with supporters that would have otherwise not been in town.
"It's not ideal but at least it's something to offer our audience," Bessette said.
For October, the company plans to present "The October Storm," a production it had planned for this past fall. It was also written by Allen and directed by Cezar Williams, a Yonkers native.
Cohen said there has been generosity from the public because local theater is important to many in the community.
"I don't think people want to see any of these places close, and people realize that arts organizations don't start up overnight," he said.
But a great unknown is how quickly audiences will return for performances once public health officials deem it acceptable to go to the theater – even if the COVID-19 vaccinations efforts run more smoothly as the year progresses.
"I'm sure there will be a number of people who are hesitant to return," Liebman said. "I still won't go on an airplane. The bottom line is we're all going to suffer. Being inside is the one thing you don't want to do."
When Yorktown Stage does return, it will come back with its Main Stage production of "The Sound of Music," he said. There will also be eight events: two Main Stage offerings, three children's program shows, a young audience theater production for the entire family, an annual Halloween show and "A Christmas Carol."
Arc Stages is a little less dependent on ticket sales because its theater space is less than 100 seats, Cohen said. Still
Despite the struggles, it's been relatively minor compared to the actors and crew members, Liebman said. Without work, they don't get paid.
"The people who are really suffering are the other people who work on the production," Liebman said. "They're all independent contractors. I mean it's a large payroll – sets, costumes, props, stage managing, a choreographer, director and musical director, musicians. There's about 25 paid people on every production, and it's a shame."

The Coptic Grave Trailer
http://ahmediatv.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/the-coptic-grave.mp4
When Head of States, Act like Thugs…, the killing of Jamal Khashoggi!
Everyone knows by now, unless you live in Saudi Arabia, that Washington Post writer and Saudi citizen Jamal Khashoggi was kidnapped, interrogated, and tortured, dismembered inside the Saudi consulate in Turkey in the presence of the Saudi consulate himself. The horrible fate of Mr. Khashoggi was undertaken 'mafia style', taken directly from the Corleone family's bloody playbook.
The killing of Mr. Khashoggi, reported was on the order of the highest level of the Saudi family. Which probably means MBS himself who, after taking power from his ailing father, is running the Royal Saudi family as the hard-headed Sonny of the Corleone family,
MBS, the darling of the west, was featured on the front page of Time Magazine, paraded on 60 Minutes and the New York Times as the modern progressive Prince who will transform not just Saudi Arabia but the whole Muslim world. Here is the New York pundit, , Thomas Friedman bringing us his prophesy of reforms in Saudi Arabia under MBS, the new Godfather of the Royal family: "Unlike the other Arab Springs — all of which emerged bottom up and failed miserably, except in Tunisia — this one is led from the top down by the country's 32-year-old Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman.", as usual a racist and a naïve conclusion (Arabs need a king/dictator to lead them to democracy) the man with big ideas himself.
The savage killing of Jamal Khashoggi is getting a lot of world attention, overshadowing the Saudi killing and dismemberment of the people of Yemen. Mr. Khashoggi, as has been widely reported, was a Washington Post columnist, a champion of real democratic change in Said Arabia, other than just allowing women to drive and watch movies in theatres. Mr. Khashoggi was a loyal insider to the 'medieval' Kingdom, he worked behind the scenes in Saudis embassies in New York, London and elsewhere. He also worked with the Saudi intelligence and knew how the Saudi Kingdom worked. However, he violated the Corleone family ethos, "never go against the family business." For MBS, Mr. Khashoggi just knew too much to be alive, too risky. Mr. Khashoggi was lured by the Saudi intelligence service into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to get some paper needed to marry his Turkish fiancé who waited for him outside for hours. Mr. Khashoggi, who is of Turkish heritage himself, according to Turkish security, was killed in seven minutes by a bone saw that was smuggled into the Saudi consulate. According also to Turkish intelligence, the head of forensics specialist was listening to music as he was dismembering Khashoggi's body and recommended it to everyone in the room. Which makes ISIS monsters plush.
This is not the first time MBS has acted like a mafia thug, the Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, during a visit to Saudi Arabia, was kidnapped. According to the New York Times "Mr. Hariri, long an ally of the Saudi, dressed that morning in jeans and T-shirt, thinking he was going camping in the desert with Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman … but instead he was stripped of his cellphones, separated from all but one of his usual cluster of bodyguards, and shoved and insulted by Saudi security officers." Turning Ritz hotel to a very expensive prison for rich Saudi businessmen, till they pay billions of dollars bounty.
With the spread of globalization and hyper capitalism across the world it now appears to be a 'mafia' culture controlling world politics, heads of state acting like thugs and killers. This is not an Arab/Islamic thing however, it is happening all over the world. We are still talking about Ayatollah Khomeini's religious fatwa on the head of Indian British writer Salman Rushdie for publishing his book The Satanic Verses. Thirty years later Mr. Rushdie is the only one now talking about the fatwa on his book tours. However, when Presidents Bush and Obama sent drones with their nationalistic fatwa to kill and assassinate anyone whom they thought deserved to die in the Middle East, we celebrated it, thousands killed with no due process, no investigation or assurance that they really deserved to die. President Obama's biggest fatwa was on May, 1st, 2011, when he ordered and gleefully watched live with his advisors, including Hillary Clinton, American Navy Seals kill Osama Bin Laden, a non-combatant citizen, while watching TV in his own home in Pakistan, violating not only international law but our own law. According to the Times, it took the effort of four lawyers to justify the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Here is how it was celebrated on the White House website: "The bravery of these men, the justice they delivered, and the legacy they leave behind- that will be remembered by all of us."
BuzzFeed, reported today that American mercenaries are hired to assassinate politicians in the Middle East. The idea that Arab dictators are emboldened in the time of Trump is over simplistic and naïve. Trump says on golf courses and twitter what other American Presidents say in closed rooms. Arab dictators were emboldened long before Trump.
Egypt is run now by the "fucking killer" according to Trump. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, after a military coup, he committed the biggest massacre in Egyptian history, President Obama then looking the other way. Under General el-Sisi there are lots of forced disappearances, mass executions and imprisonment of political opposition, including my 17 year old nephew.
Giulio Regeni, an Italian citizen, was kidnapped by el-Sisi's security forces, tortured and killed. Here is how the Guardian explained the mafia killing style: "He (Giulio Regeni) was burned, beaten and mutilated in a murder that bears all the hallmarks of Egypt's security forces." Italy looked the other way, Chinese Kidnapped the head of Interpol, Israel has been kidnapping and assassinating Palestinian activists and leaders all over the world for years. We either celebrate or at best look the other way.
American policy in the Middle East has been void of any principles or even common sense. Specially with Saudi since the beginning, the policy was: we protect you for your Oil. American support of Arab dictators, while oppressing and violating human rights of their own people, eliminating any trace of democratic institutes, we look the other way. "We would be punishing ourselves" by cancelling arms sales to Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi explained Donald Trump.
The Saudis, who appear to have been caught with their robes down, are now looking for a way out based on how much money they are willing to pay Trump. According to the Times, Saudis have already wired $100 million as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo landed in Saudi Arabia to cook a very expensive exit strategy. CNN just reported the first step of the plan: "The Saudis are preparing a report that admits Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi died during an 'interrogation that went wrong,'"… horribly wrong, but what could have happened during an interrogation that lasted only seven minutes? Nobody saw it coming.
