Lonesome, Wild & Blue
Lonesome, Wild & Blue Sibling duo Brennen Leigh and Seth Hulbert are bringing their eclectic mix of americana roots music to enthusiastic audiences from Minnesota to Florida. Armed with a mandolin and a voice as strong as railroad tracks and as smooth as a mint julep, Brennen Leigh breathes fresh life into bluegrass, country western, Texas swing, Irish folk and Mississippi Delta blues standards, as well as adding distinctively north woods images to her well-crafted original songs.

Brennen Leigh's eagerly awaited debut album includes seven original songs and nine covers of such americana classics as Hank Williams' "Moanin' the Blues" and Bob Wills' "San Antonio Rose" to contemporary gems like Greg Brown's "The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home" and Steve Earle's "I'm Still In Love With You." Lonesome, Wild & Blue features virtuoso bluegrass contributions from guest artists on mandolin, banjo, flatpick guitar, dobro, pedal steel, fiddle, and upright bass. Vocalist Brennen plays mandolin on several tracks and Brennen's brother Seth Hulbert plays guitar on all tracks and sings harmony vocals.

Open Question: How do I tell my mom that I'm taking a trip she doesn't want me to take?
I'm 18, almost 19 and want to fly to Virginia from Florida to see my long distance boyfriend. We've been dating for a little over a year and I haven't been able to see him in a while. I've never been in much trouble, came home late a couple times, but nothing ever big. I don't drink, do drugs, smoke, or even party. I'm a college student and maintain a 3.5gpa. I work on top of my heavy college schedule too. I'm able to completely cover every expense of the trip and I'm responsible enough to make my own decisions. She says I'm too young and gives all the bull excuses. Her main concern is "we won't be sitting around reading the bible," But she had her first child at 19.I understand her concern, but I've taken the appropriate steps to make sure that doesn't happen to me. I decided to take the trip anyways and bought the ticket. If I'm going to be old and wise, I need to be young and dumb first, right? How do I tell her that I'm leaving against her wishes?

Open Question: in america, gaza is a different war?
The images of two women on the front page of an edition of The Washington Post last week illustrates how mainstream US media has been reporting Israel's war on Gaza. On the left was a Palestinian mother who had lost five children. On the right was a nearly equally sized picture of an Israeli woman who was distressed by the fighting, according to the caption. As the Palestinian woman cradled the dead body of one child, another infant son, his face blackened and disfigured with bruises, cried beside her. The Israeli woman did not appear to be wounded in any way but also wept. Arab frustration To understand the frustration often felt in the Arab world over US media coverage, one only needs to imagine the same front page had the situation been reversed. IN DEPTH Latest news and analysis from Gaza and Israel Send us your views and videos Watch our coverage of the war on Gaza If an Israeli woman had lost five daughters in a Palestinian attack, would The Washington Post run an equally sized photograph of a relatively unharmed Palestinian woman, who was merely distraught over Israeli missile fire? When the front page photographs of the two women were published on December 30, over 350 Palestinians had reportedly been killed compared to just four Israelis. What if 350 Israelis had been killed and only four Palestinians - would the newspaper have run the stories side by side as if equal in news value? Like many major news organisations in the US, The Washington Post has chosen to cover the conflict from a perspective that reflects the US government's relationship with Israel. This means prioritising Israel's version of events while underplaying the views of Palestinian groups. For example, the newspaper's lead article on Tuesday, which was published above the mothers' photographs, quotes Israeli military and civilian sources nine times before quoting a single Palestinian. The first seven paragraphs explain Israel's military strategy. The ninth paragraph describes the anxiety among Israelis, spending evenings in bomb shelters. Ordinary Palestinians, who generally have no access to bomb shelters, do not make an appearance until the 23rd paragraph. To balance this top story, The Washington Post published another article on the bottom half of the front page about the Palestinian mother and her children. But would the paper have ever considered balancing a story about a massive attack on Israelis with an in-depth lead piece on the strategy of Palestinian militants? Context stripped Major US television channels also adopted the equal time approach, despite the reality that Palestinian casualties exceeded Israeli ones by a hundred fold. However, such comparisons were rare because the scripts read by American correspondents often excluded the overall Palestinian death count. By stripping the context, American viewers may have easily assumed a level playing field, rather than a case of disproportionate force. Take the opening lines of a report filed by NBC's Martin Fletcher on December 30: "In Gaza two little girls were taking out the rubbish and killed by an Israeli rocket - while in Israel, a woman had been driving home and was killed by a Hamas rocket. No let up today on either side on the fourth day of this battle." Omitted from the report was the overall Palestinian death toll, dropped continuously in subsequent reports filed by NBC correspondents over the next several days. When number of deaths did appear - sometimes as a graphic at the bottom of the screen - it was identified as the number of "people killed" rather than being attributed specifically to Palestinians. No wonder the overwhelmingly asymmetrical bombardment of Gaza has been framed vaguely as "rising tensions in the Middle East" by news anchors. With the lack of context, the power dynamic on the ground becomes unclear. ABC news, for example, regularly introduced events in Gaza as "Mideast Violence". And Like NBC, reporters excluded the Palestinian death toll. On December 31, when Palestinian deaths stood at almost 400, ABC correspondent Simon McGergor-Wood began a video package by describing damage to an Israeli school by Hamas rockets. The reporter's script can be paraphrased as follows: Israel wanted a sustainable ceasefire; Israel needed to prevent Hamas from rearming; Hamas targets were hit; Israel was sending in aid and letting the injured out; Israel was doing "everything they can to alleviate the humanitarian crisis". And with that McGregor-Wood signed off. Palestinian perspective missing There was no parallel telling of the Palestinian perspective, and no mention of any damages to Palestinian lives, although news agencies that day had reported five Palestinians dead. For the ABC correspondent, it seemed the Palestinian deaths contained less news value than damage to Israeli buildings. His narration of events, meanwhile, amounted to no less than a parrot (more...)

Open Question: What should I call this short story ?
I had to write a story about a relationship between two people for health and this is it. It's about two sisters. i know that it's not exactly great but our teacher isn't expecting novel quality, he just wants us to write a story with the three components of a healthy releationship. I was wondering what I should call it. We don't have to have a title but I think that it would add a nice touch....any suggestions? thank you! and by the way I know that it is SUPER corny. ?Sophie.? ?Go away. I don?t want to talk to you.? ?Sophie, please.? ?Leave me alone.? I stared wearily at my sister. She was sitting on her widow seat, legs drawn up to her chest, her face turned towards the window. Her eyebrows were drawn low over her dark eyes, narrowed with anger, and her lips turned down in a fierce frown. A mere few minutes ago we had gotten home from my soccer game. Sophie had been quit the whole ride home and the moment that the car stopped, she leapt out and flew up the stairs to her room. She was my sister and I knew her well enough to see that there was something bothering her. ?Sophie.? She looked up and I could see the fire, the pain in her eyes. ?What could you possibly want, Ally?? She put as much venom into my name as she possibly could. ?I want to talk,? I said softly. Sophie?s eyes widened with surprise and she frowned. ?About what?? she asked, hysteria creeping into her voice. ?About how it?s always about you?? I opened my mouth hand closed it, too shocked to even speak. Sophie glared hard at me. ?Do you even know what today was?? ?You?re last dance class,? I said quietly, suddenly feeling horrible guilty. ?Right,? she spat. ?And did we go?? She paused pointedly for me to answer. ?No,? I whispered. ?Exactly. We went to your soccer game instead.? ?Oh,? I said. ?Yeah. Oh.? I looked down, I couldn?t stand the pain in Sophie?s eyes any longer. ?Ever since Mom died the only once of us that Dad even pays attention to is you. I mean, I know that raising two kids on your own is hard, but he has totally pushed me out of his life. Nothing I do matters. And you don?t even stop to think about how much I?m missing out on.? ?I?m so sorry, Sophie,? I whispered and hurried to sit beside her. My arm snaked around her shoulders and my hand twisted with hers. Sophie?s head fell limply on my shoulder, her long hair swinging forward to cover her face. ?I had no idea.? Normally Sophie wasn?t a touchy feely kind of person. She hated to be touched. It was an unsaid rule to never touch each other more than the occasional shoulder pat or even a hand squeeze. But now I knew that she needed it. That rule could be broke, just this once. Sophie sniffed and I realized that she had been crying. A sharp pain stabbed me in my stomach. Did I even know my own sister? ?Well, I didn?t exactly tell you,? she said in a voice thick with tears. I stroked her cheek gently, wiping away her glistening tears. She smiled weakly at me. ?I love you, Ally.? ?I love you too, Sophie,? I gave her another squeeze and pulled back to look at her. ?I promise that it?s going to be different from now on. More equal.? ?Thank you.? She didn?t say the words out loud but her lips formed them silently. I nodded. ?You?re welcome.? I kissed her cheek and left her room leaving her to her own thoughts. Downstairs I ran into my dad. ?Hey, kiddo.? he grabbed me and put me in a headlock, rumpling my hair in a way that always made me laugh. When he released me I stumbled backward running gently into the wall. ?Whoa there,? he said, laughing. ?You don?t want to injure yourself before practice tomorrow.? I blinked. Tomorrow was Sophie?s dance recital, not just her last rehearsal, but the last big show. And she was the star. ?Dad, you?re going to Sophie?s recital tomorrow, right?? I asked. Dad stared blankly at me. ?What?? ?Sophie?s dance recital,? I repeated, feeling very sick. ?She?s the star, you know.? ?Oh,? he said, looking bewildered. He shrugged. ?Well she has those all the time.? ?But this is the last one, Dad.? ?She?ll have another on eventually.? Dad seemed like he was trying to convince himself. ?But Dad, this is really important.? ?Your practice is important too.? Dad?s eyes stared deeply into mine. I stared right back. Dad wasn?t much into dance, he was more of the soccer guy. It had always been Mom who had taken Sophie to all of her dance rehearsals and recitals. I blinked, feeling slightly stunned. I hadn?t seen Sophie dance in a very long time, not even practicing. ?But this is more important,? I said firmly. ?This is important to Sophie. She needs you to come.? Dad looked startled but he nodded. ?Okay, Ally, if it?s really that important.? ?It is,? I said solemnly. ?She feels a little neglected. Like she?s not important.? Dad closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead. He nodded slowly. ?I?ll go,? he said. ?I know I haven?t been paying enough attention to her. I feel terrible it?s just, soccer was alwa always our thing.? I smiled slightly. ?It still can be, we just have to make dance a part of it too.? Dad smiled sadly and kissed my head. ?Thanks, Ally.? He stuffed his hands into his pockets and started to walk back into the living room. ?Dad?? I called. He looked back. ?Yeah?? ?I want to go too.? It was not just he who been neglecting Sophie, it was me too. Dad stared at me and nodded slowly. ?Okay,? he said. ?I?m sure that you?re coach will understand.? And he walked away, a slight smile on his face. I smiled to myself and closed my eyes. I heard a slight shuffling sound from above. I tilted my head up and saw Sophie?s smiling face leaning over the landing. * * * * * * * * * * * * The crowd erupted into cheers. Dad and I leapt to our feet and cheered the loudest any of us. ?Yay, Sophie!? I yelled, punching the air with my fist and then clapping so hard that it hurt my hands. ?That?s my little girl!? Dad shouted, pointing up at the stage at Sophie who stood in the stood in the center of it, wearing a flowing white dress, tights, and a grin. As the scarlet curtain drew closed I met Sophie?s eyes. Her face grew softer and she blew me a kiss. ?Thank you,? she mouthed. ?You?re welcome,? I mouthed back. She smiled softly at me and then waved at the audience, who were still cheering loudly. The curtain closed and she was blocked from my view. ?That?s my baby!? Dad hooted beside me. I laughed and wrapped my arms around his waist. ?Yes she is,? I said, unable to not smile. Dad?s face was flushed with excitement and he practically dragged me down the aisle. ?Come on, let?s go meet her outside the dressing room!? I smiled at him and then smiled to myself. Dance wasn?t as bad as I had always imagined it would be. Sophie was great, she made it look so easy, so natural. Maybe when we got home I could ask her to show me a thing or too. I laughed under my breath. She would probably like that. And maybe after that we could kick around my soccer bal ball. I snorted. No, that she wouldn?t be so wild about. But I suppose that that?s what being a sister is. Making compromises, keeping things equal, talking to each other, and most importantly, loving each other. It's only three pages....and I needed to add all of this junk to meet the requirements. Sorry it's so long.... :) Haha, I know, this is like the corniest thing i have ever writen. But from past experiance, teachers lap up corny stuff. They absolutely love it (more...)

Open Question: I'm pregnant.....Why am I so cold?
This is my fourth pregnancy and I have NEVER been so cold! I am usually as hot as an oven. No covers... and the AC running in the winter. For some reason I can't get warm. I am about 8 week pg and this has been going on for the past week. My fingers, toes and nose are ice cubes. I wear my coat at work and practically sit on the heating vents at home. I always have layers on and cover up with blankets. I shiver constantly. I see my ob in a week or so.... but just wondering is anyone else has ever experienced this... or knows why I feel like I live at the North Pole. Thanks! Thanks for the information. At least I don't feel like a complete goofball. I am sure it's probably just hormones... but I will mention it to my dr just in case it is thryroid. I also heard somewhere that low iron could cause it. ????? Who knows. Thanks! (more...)

Open Question: The short story that i wrote?
Alright, i just worte a short story for no reason, mind reading it to give me some insight? here it is: She looked nothing like he had expected. This was a perfect pick-me-up if Tyler had ever seen one. When she walked into the room everything froze and all attention was to her. The perfectly combed dark brown hair running down her shoulders was only overseen by a pair of big gray eyes that drew in anyone caught staring. As she sat down at the table Tyler was hit with an intoxicatingly soothing scent. Must be her perfume? he thought but his thoughts were drowned out by the purest most eloquent sound his 18 year old ears had ever heard. ?I?m Tiffany, Tiffany Johnson,? she said while extending her hand in the daintiest most perfect fashion Tyler had ever seen. With a stammer he managed to squeak out his name and shake her smooth hand. After an awkward beginning, the two started talking and were only reminded of their homes when the owner of the café came out yelling about adolescent ignorance. They had gotten caught up talking about school, friends and previous relationships. Tyler was proud of himself; he had gotten through a whole explanation of Mabel without calling her and leaving her a message until now. He explained their three-year relationship and how she broke his heart and started dating his friend. Tiffany seemed sentimental and gave her fair share of bad relationships. Tyler walked her home and as he was turning to leave she spun him around and kissed him. He was stunned, a girl this pretty giving him a kiss and her number, this was unheard of. She smiled and walked into her house but not after telling him to be at the ice rink in two hours. That was exactly one year ago. For their anniversary Tyler and Tiffany had decided to do the same thing on their date as they did their first. This was exactly the same except what happened after. Tyler stood in the same spot for the better part of 15 minutes, but a melody and a vibration in his pocket finally broke his trance. When he pulled out his phone his heart sank, and with a groan he flipped up the cover. ?Hey Mabel?? Ernie Sanders was tired. 40 years of being a taxi driver, just one more night and he could finally go back to his home knowing he?d never have to drive this wretched car again. One last fair and I?m done? he thought, and then he saw the kid. Not just a regular kid, this kid was under a lamppost kicking it, screaming at the top of his lungs on a phone and sobbing. Never get the normal ones? Tyler hung up the phone and stood there, holding the lamppost. A raspy voice from behind him made him nearly jump out of his skin. ?Goin? som?re I can take ?ya?? Tyler spun on his heels and was looking into the eyes of an old man in a cab. For his age, his hair was unnatural. It was long, down to his shoulders, and perfect blonde. His eyes were weathered but an inviting blue shade. Wordlessly Tyler stepped into the car and they started driving. ?So wh?re we headin??? Ernie asked trying to start a conversation with this kid who looked in despair. ?The ice rink on 47th? Tyler mumbled barely audible under the groan of the taxi. ??Ya wanna get somethin? off yer chest?? Ernie asked. ?Not nothing you can help me with old timer? Tyler spat condescendingly but immediately felt bad for saying it. The man just wanted to help, so who knows, maybe he can. ?Actually, I?m looking for some advice.? Ernie grinned and cracked a laugh, ?Ya came to the right old timer!? Tyler started to ease up and he explained, ?Me and my girlfriend have been going out for a year, and she?s great, but then my old girlfriend who I loved calls me up saying she misses me. I?m torn between the two. I was thinking my old girlfriend doesn?t deserve a chance, she?s hurt me bad enough?? He trailed off while his gaze was lost onto the falling snow outside. There was a silence and then Tyler began again, ?I really liked her, but she was so controlling. It was like I was in a car speeding down the highway but I just couldn?t get control of the wheel.? ?I person?ly think ?ya should give ?er another chance. What ?ya got to lose? ?Ya seem like ?ya want ta get back at ?er, but an eye for an eye leaves the kingdom blind.? As if on cue when Ernie was finished the car pulled up to a frozen-over lake with a group of kids sitting on the edge. Without a response Tyler got out of the car, ?How much I owe you?? ?This one?s on me? Ernie said with a wink and a smile. Tyler watched the car until the snow clouded his vision of the street. Wordlessly Tyler walked to the group of kids and stood next to Tiffany. ?What?s wrong?? she asked Tyler noticing his dazed look and staggering feet. ?Uh? nothing. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?? He asked her as he pulled her away from the crowd. ?What?s going on?? Tiffany asked. Tyler could since she was concerned. ?I was thinking on the ride over here, are you planning on getting serious?? ??Bout what?? She said looking down and t I had to rush the ending to try and make a word limit i ended up not even getting CLOSE to, so i was just wondering if i should cut out the ending and make it longer (more...)

Open Question: My rental condo is in FORECLOSURE... the bank offers me cash!??!?
hey everyone... Just got home from a 2 week vacation... I have been renting a 3 bedroom 3 bath condo in Orange County California for about 2 years now. Yesterday morning someone brought over a paper informing me that the condo went under foreclosure and I have 60 days to move... This is the first I have heard of this... you can not see the door numbers clearly on the door so maybe they have posted some papers on someone else's door and it never found the correct location, or maybe the wind, who knows.... in any case here is what happened... after finding out our home will soon be taken out from under us and checking the mailbox after our 2 week vacation and finding more info about the foreclosure im pretty sure its solid. I tried to contact the land lord MANY TIMES with no results... I have paid my $2,300 rent at the 1st of this month and the check was cashed on the 2nd... im pretty much thinking that im 100% screwed... the letters say that the condo was purchased by another Bank and not a private party or individual... this morning I get a call from the guy in charge of the newly acquired real estate who is in direct contact with the bank... He tells me that the bank is willing to offer me a set amount of cash to help me move.... i tell the guy that i am just a renter and i dont own the property and he tells me that, "If you were the owner the bank would not offer you this, they would just kick you out"... so he asked me if i was interested in the offer and I told him that ,"I already paid rent, why not?!" so he told me that he would talk with the bank and get back to me soon.... not long after that they guy calls me back and tells me that the bank is willing to offer me $3,000 to move out within 30 days... I told him that $3,000 will barely cover moving expenses and not even cover security deposit on a new place and first and lasts months... I countered for $4,000 if they really wanted to help... my paper says i have 60 days.... bank is offering me cash for keys within 30 days... i think they are willing to pay the $3,000 to get me out sooner so i dont destroy the property... is this common for the bank to offer money? if so, dont mean to sound greedy but how much might i be able to ask for... this whole move is going to cost more then i can imagine... plus giving into account that I have been renting a 3 bedroom 3 bath condo in Orange County California for about 2 years now. I was doing Home Loans before the market went under and now I own a semi successful web design company. I pretty much only make enough for rent between my girl friend and I and since the market crash I now have bad credit from my previous High Cost of living expenses and my GF's credit isn't too hot as well. I have ALWAYS paid my rent in time but getting in contact with the "land lord" has been impossible... they are my only hope for a positive review on my excellent rental history for when I move into a new place. Now with having BAD CRDT and NO RENTAL HISTORY and also to make things worse... NO SECURITY DEPOSIT.... i dont really know what I am to do... thanks in advance for the advice. (more...)

Open Question: Fuse # 13 1993 Dodge Caravan, keeps blowing out?
Okay, the panel cover says that fuse #13 is for the rear wiper motor and that did stop working when I turned on the rear wiper a few days ago. I replaced the fuse and the wiper returned to the home position but it was blown again. But now, the fuse blows out when I just turn on the ignition without running the rear wiper. What does this suggest to anyone? Is the fuse protecting other circuits? What else could cause this? (more...)
