This book is an attempt to document some of the many ways pop music and punk and post-punk style affected the lifestyles of that period in Northern New Jersey. It is based on my scrapbook and what I can remember about my favorite events of the period. It tells a lot of the story, but is no way complete. I urge fellow participants to write their own books in order to give credit to others who helped to change the corporate dictators of style, media and products to what the people wanted instead of what the corporations wanted. Eventually, the corporations got their power back, but the changes were permanently put into place and still exist in pop culture to this day. There are many photos, news clippings and promotional materials. There are also some photos from the author's personal collection that have never been seen before
A list of common expressions that are taken almost verbatim from the Bible.
Now there's a second edition of Went to See the Gypsy! Are you a Baby Boomer that still rocks? Or a fan of rock's golden era of any age? Do you remember the first vinyl record you bought? Do you still play your favorite songs two or three times in a row? Then you will enjoy Went To See the Gypsy! The title is from a Dylan song about Elvis, and it evokes the journey I've been on since the Beatles took America by storm in 1964. My friends and I were so taken by the Beatles that we made up a fake-Beatles band with tennis racket guitars and lipsynced the songs to the neighbors at a nickel a pop! And I've been following the rock gypsy caravans ever since, from the British Invasion bands on AM transistor radios, to the psychedelic revolution on FM radio, to punk rock on the left of the dial, to alternative music on CDs, and all of it over again on digital!
Annie the Do-Gooder Angel, visible only with permission, has a Heavenly fix for those in need. She comes to the rescue with Blessings and granted wishes from above, so that we mortals on Earth can have the Merriest Christmas. The Annie the Angel series began when the Spirit of Christmas moved graphic artist Brian Catanzaro to create memorable Christmas cards for his friends and family. The series has run from 1991 to the present, and all episodes, each a story in itself, have been collected in this book. It is hoped that Annie the Angel will inspire young and old, especially around Christmastime, to be like Annie and spread Good Cheer around your neighborhood, and the world. Merry Happy and Blessed Christmas, and to all a Good Night.
a short, but colorful journey with the beloved Mrs. Capellini and her umbrella collection. Good for learning colors, words, weather, geography and art.
This book presents the proceedings of two conferences, the 37th and 38th in the WoTUG series; Communicating Process Architectures (CPA) 2015, held in Canterbury, England, in August 2015, and CPA 2016, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in August 2016. Fifteen papers were accepted for presentation at the 2015 conference. They cover a spectrum of concurrency concerns: mathematical theory, programming languages, design and support tools, verification, multicore infrastructure and applications ranging from supercomputing to embedded. Three workshops and two evening fringe sessions also formed part of the conference, and the workshop position papers and fringe abstracts are included in this book. Fourteen papers covering the same broad spectrum of topics were presented at the 2016 conference, one of them in the form of a workshop. They are all included here, together with abstracts of the five fringe sessions from the conference.
