Composer's Note: This is a collection of original compositions for guitar that I composed over a time span of many years. The music embodies a wide variety of compositional styles - from romantic Spanish, to impressionistic, to Japanese traditional, as well as a group of atonal/12 tone works. A common element that they all share is an exploration of the virtually endless palette of color and timbre of the guitar.The pieces included in this collection are:1. Sakura, Introduction, Theme and Variations on the Japanese folk song. This is a virtuoso concert piece that weaves a dreamlike tapestry of eight variations and a coda, full of mystical evocations of spring, clouds, misty landscapes and serene meditative solitudes. Based on the Japanese folk tune "Sakura," it means "Blooming Cherry Blossoms." Originally composed in the Edo period, its lyrics are translated as: Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, Blanketing the countryside, As far as you can see.Is it a mist, or clouds?....Come now, comeLet's look, at last 2. Catalonian Reverie. This is a concert piece that is inspired by music of Spanish composers such as Albeniz, Granados, and De Falla, with a touch of flamenco as well.3. Romance. This short work, based on the iconic Romance D'Amour, has a middle section where the melody is heard in the bass. 4. Hands of My Angel for Solo Guitar. I originally composed this music as an homage to Eric Satie and his Gymnopedie # 1, originally for piano. The harmonic language is somewhat jazz oriented, along with an influence of Satie's friends Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.5. Hands of My Angel for Two Guitars. This is a two guitar version of the same melody that I composed for my "Hands of the Angels" CD. In the CD version the guitars are accompanied by pizzicato strings.6. Double of Sarabande from J. S. Bach's Cello Suite # 6. In old French the term 'double' meant melodic variation, where the harmonic design was kept unchanged. Bach composed many doubles, notably in his violin suite in B minor, where each dance is followed by a double. This work is an impressionistic variation on the Bach Sarabande from Cello Suite # 6, with episodic reminiscences of Villa Lobos, Debussy and Baden Powell.7. Ascent for Solo Guitar. Dedicated to my guitar mentor Theodore Norman, this work is inspired by the abstract paintings of Juan Miro, Wassily Kandinski and Paul Klee, as well as the 20th Century music of Anton Webern and Alban Berg. It is composed in a combination atonal/12-tone idiom and is a musical take on the inner experience of mountain climbing: dangling from ropes, suspended in space surrounded by primordial mountain peaks, amidst blue skies and fast-moving clouds.8-12. Children's Games: Five Pieces for Guitar. Composed in an atonal/12-tone idiom, this suite of miniatures explores in musical terms memories of a child-like inner world. Before the regimentation and constraints imposed by the world of adults, children, particularly in play, express a rich world of activity and emotions, often without fixed or rigid boundaries. There is a free alternation, often rapid and instantaneous, between states of joy, exuberance, and sometimes foreboding and anxiety. Los Angeles, July 2012

pokkari
You may think you know the whole story of Adam Walsh-the 6-year-old found killed, whose father, John Walsh, became a crime-fighting TV host. We've long been told that the dead child was Adam-but astonishingly, the medical examiner file doesn't legally confirm it. It should be in an autopsy report, since an autopsy was done-but as Harris reported in the Miami Herald, there is no autopsy report. That never happens. Without legal proof of who's been killed, how can you have a murder trial?A famous old crime. No linking physical evidence. For decades, the murder of Adam Walsh, the iconic face of Missing Children, the boy on the milk carton, was an unsolved mystery. Suddenly police declared a solution resurrected on a theory of theirs they'd long discredited. At a live nationally-televised police press conference, the victim's family was tearful and grateful.The national media bought it. The local press, however, realized it was a convenient fiction.On July 30, 2021, days after the 40th anniversary of Adam's disappearance, Fred Grimm wrote in the South Florida Sun Sentinel: "A sensational alternate theory blamed serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who was living in Miami in 1981. But in 2008, despite no new evidence, Hollywood police hung the crime on long-dead Ottis Toole."The only mystery left unsolved was how any cop could have possibly believed Ottis Toole."While Toole was still alive and in state custody, and could have been charged with Adam's murder on the same information, John Walsh had belittled the idea: "A lot of people still think Ottis Elwood Toole did it. But he and his partner] Henry Lee Lucas confessed to a lot of murders they didn't do. It's a great ploy for convicts: They read about a murder and they're in solitary. They call the police, desperate to clear a murder, and they say, 'Fly me there and buy me a pizza, ' and they get out of their cells for two days "-South Florida magazine, July 1992Police had statements from six separate witnesses at the mall who said they saw Dahmer when Adam disappeared, but police couldn't confirm that Dahmer had been in town then. Then reporter Art Harris, working with ABC Primetime, found a Miami police report with Dahmer's name dated 20 days before Adam was taken. Still they weren't interested. But by 2008, both Dahmer and Toole were dead, so did it matter? Although the police's conclusion was eye-rolling, it seemed harmless.Grimm was wrong only in that police's belief in Toole was the only mystery left.Probably without realizing it, by closing the case police unlatched a door locked nearly 30 years before to a guarded secret.Inside Harris discovered a much larger convenient fiction, but this one not at all harmless. In looking back it explained everything irregular in the investigation that had followed. As long as the secret was kept, the case could never be truly solved. Harris was then working with The Miami Herald, but even when they confronted them, the chief medical examiner who'd hidden it, the police-and most surprisingly, even the Walshes all turned blind eyes.What was the never-meant-to-be-seen or spoken-of truth in Adam Walsh's murder?Was it that the evidence that the child was Adam was either inconclusive-or showed that it likely actually wasn't him?This Special Single Edition is a briefer version of Books 1&2

Jeffrey Alexander and Cultural Sociology

Jeffrey Alexander and Cultural Sociology

sidottu
This book presents the first comprehensive and critical account of Jeffrey Alexander’s cultural sociology. Alexander has proposed a “strong program” in cultural sociology that analyses the cultural pragmatics of social performance, and his hermeneutical approach connects meaningful political action with deeper symbolic structures of social life. His highly original account of the civil sphere, as an institutionalized domain that is shaped by the discourse of liberty and solidarity and that sustains universalizing cultural aspirations provides an illuminating perspective on how democracy functions, and fails to function, in contemporary societies. This book charts the development of Alexander’s thought in all its complexity. Through its critical readings, it also opens up a dialogue with other contemporary approaches in sociology, situating Alexander’s work in relation to others and highlighting alternative views that challenge his ideas. It is an invaluable introduction for anyone who wishes to learn more about the work of one of the most creative sociologists of our time.

This is a story about womankind's natural role as guardians of the Flame of Spirit that dwells within the heart of all human beings. Lilith, the eternal root of the sacred feminine from humankind's spiritual genesis, symbolizes archetypally this role women once held by sacred design and divine intent. They were known as the Keepers of the Flame, those who oversaw and guided the way humans organized themselves in all affairs that governed their lives. The foundation for their way of life was based upon Natural Law versus man-made laws. One of its core principles was the universal practice of giving, sharing and including. The purpose of this work is to reach out to those who want to go beyond patriarchal conditioning by showing that the history we have been led and taught to believe as true, especially about womankind, is false. In fact, what is true about human nature and its original way of life came before the patriarchy, what is referred to as the matriarchy. The original archetype of Lilith is described based on the teachings of Jeffrey Wolf Green with the intent to help bolster and invigorate every woman's spirit by showing her the way back home to her own natural self; to stand again as one individual who exists as part of a group consciousness, the species human, interwoven into an even larger family comprised of all Earth's sacred beings, and by doing so, to reconnect to the Spirit that dwells within each and every heart linking all to her own, and to relearn how to speak its Truths with passion and conviction for the benefit of all. That is Lilith.***************************************You will know truth when it speaks to your soul. It is a knowingness that simply exists beyond the words. As I read through the book, I felt an immediate resonance with the concepts put forth by the author. I learned, I absorbed, I embraced. Somehow I remembered. The remembering felt as natural as breath in, breath out. Great educators like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell have described how ancient myths continue to inform and live on within our collective unconscious. Our great spiritual teachers, many of whom are referenced within the pages of this book, remind each one of us of our connection to universal source, to the divinity that exists within each one of us. They invite us to embark on the journey inward, to reconnect with our center, our soul, and with the source of all that is. In this luminous book, the author exquisitely and simply synthesizes the knowledge imparted by the spiritual masters regarding our Creatress force. She speaks of the transgender whole of the sacred feminine in its unfiltered and unconditioned version. This is not the Lilith story with the overlay of patriarchal conditionings that give an explanation for humanity's spiritual downfall, but rather that of her preHerstory - of the unified, fecund and regenerative Creatress seed from which all life has sprung. I invite you to allow your own knowingness to verify the truth contained within these pages. Don't read this book - experience it, for yourself, for your soul.Rose MarcusEvolutionary Astrologer, Author, "Insights into Evolutionary Astrology"

Jeffrey Dahmer: A Terrifying True Story of Rape, Murder & Cannibalism

Few serial killers in history have garnered as much attention as Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. Although Dahmer killed seventeen young men and boys, it was not so much the number of people he killed that makes him stand out among famous serial killers, but more so the acts of depravity that he committed on the corpses of his victims. In this true crime story you will read how Dahmer transitioned from a loner to serial killer, committing numerous unnatural acts along the way such as necrophilia and cannibalism. Following in the macabre tradition of another infamous Wisconsin serial killer--Ed Gein--Jeffrey Dahmer terrorized Milwaukee for most of the 1980s until he was finally captured in 1991. Perhaps one of the most frightening aspects of Jeffrey Dahmer's serial killer career was how easy he was able to lure his victims into his trap. Dahmer possessed above average intellect, was conventionally good looking, and usually had a calm demeanor that could disarm even the most paranoid of people. Because of these traits, Dahmer was able to evade justice numerous times, which allowed him to keep killing. Truly, Dahmer was able to fool his family, the police, his neighbors, and even the judicial system into believing that he was not a threat; but during the entire time his kill count increased and the body parts of his victims began to pile up around his apartment. Open the pages of this book to read a story that is among the most disturbing of all true crime serial killers. You will follow the course of Dahmer's life from an alcoholic outcast in high school to a vicious predator who stalked the streets of Milwaukee. Finally, you will read about Dahmer's trial, his jail house murder, and the impact that his many crimes had on Milwaukee.
