Steel drum music has the ability to move an audience like no other type of music. From the first note, the songs exude a happiness from within each pannist. Even with the slower pieces, you can close your eyes and imagine yourself in a tropical surrounding. The AISD concert, conducted by CJ Menge, which took place April 14, 2012 certainly did not disappoint. The concert was performed in Austin, Texas and featured steel drum bands from seven middle and high schools in the area. The first piece,…

Although the Carpenter does not eat as many oysters than the Walrus, as Tweedledee points out to Alice, I placed him at the lowest end of the axis because of what he eats. While the other characters on this list are either addicted to food or drugs, the Carpenter eats an excess of living creatures, mixing murder into his gluttony. While eating oysters is hardly seen as a sin, the oysters in this poem can walk, talk, and communicate with the Carpenter and the Walrus, giving the Carpenter’s and…

Gilbert. I like American books, but it's really difficult to buy some of them in Russia because of our politics. I don't like our president, all these stupid wars, conflicts and protests. I know that grass roots are suffering because the movers and shakers just want to get more-more-more money. People are fighting for oil, for gas, for territory, but maybe in some 50-100-150 years all these things will not be needed anymore, because all people will be ill or dead. Why can't the high and…
