Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance


Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance Celebrates 10th Anniversary in North America; One Billionth Tap Worldwide Assured in 2007
Friday, November 23 8:00p at San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, San Jose, CA Price: $70, $58, $43, $25Phone: 1-888-455-7469
The World’s Highest Grossing Dance Show Since 1996 Brings High Octane Celtic Dance to San Jose Center for the Performing Arts
There’s something about dance shows that gets better with age. Or maybe it’s simply good ol’ boy, strong, Irish stock. Irishman Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance, a global phenomenon, has both. More than 50 million people worldwide have seen Lord of the Dance -- the international Irish dancing extravaganza that has performed sold out shows at theaters, arenas and stadiums in more than 67 countries. Visiting more than 40 cities in the U.S. next year, the show is scheduled to dance its way into the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts from November 23-24 for 3 shows only. Tickets at http://www.sjtix.com/, or call: 1-888-455-SHOW (7469). Also at the box office, 1717 Technology Drive.
“Our success demonstrates the hunger people have,” says Flatley, “to wholly submerge themselves into a world where dancers interpret every nuance of classic good versus evil through modern Celtic music.” The 10th Anniversary Tour reflects Lord of the Dance’s ability to connect with the audience and initiate and captivate a new generation. Adding to the visceral and emotional impact are costumes, lighting and staging that are cinematic in scope. “Make no mistake,” adds Flatley, alluding to the 10th Anniversary Tour, “’Lord of the Dance’ begins where modern theatre ends.”
Flatley, who originated the role of the Lord, is the company’s Artistic Director, a position he has held since the troupe’s stunning 1996 debut in Dublin. Ten years later, his influence continues to resonate throughout every aspect of the production. Irish dance lovers and music fans alike will get a chance to experience the engaging, rhythmic adventure that has helped catapult Celtic dance mania and Irish dancing into the global spotlight. No wonder Lord of the Dance has jettisoned its ticket sales to more than $800 million worldwide. During its highly profitable four-year residency in Las Vegas, an estimated two million people danced along in their seats. A standing ovation was not the exception -- it was the rule.

La Auto Show


Toyota motor corp is usually the darling of the los Angeles Auto show, but testy relations with environmentalists and questions about quality are making the show a headache for the automaker this year.
The Sequoia has a new 5.7-liter, V-8 engine that is more powerful — at 381 horsepower — and more fuel efficient than the old engine. It also has improved aerodynamics to save fuel, and the company plans to introduce an ethanol-capable version in the fall of 2008. Pricing wasn't announced for the new Sequoia, which goes on sale in December.
Fuel economy numbers haven't been released, but Carter said they'll improve by about 12 percent over the old model, or 2 to 3 miles per gallon. The current Sequoia gets around 15 mpg in the city, compared with 21 mpg for the new hybrids from Chrysler and GM, including the Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe SUV and Chevrolet Silverado pickup.
Carter said Toyota plans to offer hybrid versions of every vehicle in its lineup and is also studying combinations such as hybrid diesels. But it hasn't managed to develop a system that works well in large trucks like GM and Chrysler did in their consortium with Daimler and BMW.
The company's most recent embarrassment came earlier this week, when it pulled an ad that called Fresno a "low-budget tourist stop" after U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein wrote to complain.

Jim Lentz, president of Toyota's U.S. division, said the troubles are the result of Toyota's phenomenal growth.

Artist: Kanye West
Album: Late Registration
Song: Hey Mama



[Chorus]
(Hey Mama),ahhhhhh I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you
Let me tell you what I’m about to do, (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I’m goin back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama)

[Verse 1]
I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine and I’m finna let it shine
I’m finna take yall back to them better times
I’m finna talk about my mama if yall don’t mind
I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up some that was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn’t give me a curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that mommy can't you see?
Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
Cuz a nigga cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said mommy Imma love you till you don’t hurt no more
And when I’m older, you aint gotta work no more
And Imma get you that mansion that we couldn’t afford
See you’re, unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that’s makin loot
A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)

[Chorus]
(Hey Mama),ahhhhhh I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you
Let me tell you what I’m about to do, (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I’m goin back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama

[Verse 2]
Forrest Gump mama said, life is like a box of chocolates
My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate
Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with
But still supported me when I did the opposite
Now I feel like it’s things I gotta get
Things I gotta do, just to prove to you
You was getting through, can the choir please
Give me a verse of “You, Are So Beautiful To Me”
Can’t you see, you’re like a book of poetry
Maya Angelou, Nicky Giovanni, turn one page and there’s my mommy
Come on mommy just dance wit me, let the whole world see your dancing feet
Now when I say Hey, yall say Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)

[Chorus]
(Hey Mama),ahhhhhh I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you
Let me tell you what I’m about to do, (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I’m goin back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama

[Bridge]
I guess it also depends tho, if my ends low
Second they get up you gon get that BenzO
Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know (Hey Mama)

[Verse 3]
Tell your job you gotta fake em out
Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out
To a restaurant, upper echelon
Imma get you a jag, whatever else you want
Just tell me what kind of S-Type Donda West like?
Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right
It don’t gotta be Mother’s Day, or your birthday
For me to just call and say (Hey Mama)

[Chorus] (with variations)
(Hey Mama), ahhhhh I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you
Let me tell you what I’m about to do, (Hey Mama)
You know I love you so, I never let you go
I wrote this song just so you know, no matter where you go, my love is true.

Kanye West Mom Dies


Rap superstar Kanye West's mother has died at the age of 58.

Dr Donda West passed away on Saturday in a Los Angeles hospital.

A spokesperson for West confirmed the death saying "The family respectfully asks for privacy during this time of grief."

There was no word on the cause of her death.

Kanye had just landed in London when he learned of his mother's death. He immediately flew to Los Angeles to join fellow family members.

The rapper had a close relationship with his mother, who raised him as a single mother in Chicago after divorcing his father Ray, a former Black Panther, when Kanye was 3.

Kanye recorded a tribute to Donda called Hey Mama which appeared on his 2005 album Late Registration.

The song included the words "Hey Mama, I wanna scream so loud for you/ 'Cause I'm so proud of you/ Let me tell you what I'm about to do ... I appreciate what you allowed for me, I just want you to be proud of me. "You're unbreakable, unmistakable/ Highly capable, lady that's makin loot/ A livin' legend too, just look at what heaven do/ Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)."

The song became the ring tone she played on her cell phone, People reports.

Donda was formerly an English professor before taking on the position of Kanye's manager in 2004. She was also CEO of West Brands LLC and co-founder of the Kanye West Foundation. She recently released a book called Raising Kanye: Life Lessons From the Mother of a Hip-Hop Superstar

Virginia Election Results


Democrat John Miller smiles beating Republican Tricia Stall for the 1st Senate District seat. (Diane Cebula, Daily Press / November 6, 2007)

NEWPORT NEWS - Democrat John Miller defeated Republican Tricia Stall on Tuesday by about 700 votes in a closely watched race to replace Republican incumbent Sen. Marty Williams.

Miller got 15,469 votes, while Stall pulled in 14,747, according to unofficial results from the State Board of Elections.The race has gotten a lot of attention from lawmakers and political insiders because it could play a major role in determining which party has control of the Senate when lawmakers redraw political boundaries after the census in 2011.
That intense scrutiny brought huge amounts of money into both campaigns, and led to loads of television commercials and campaign mailers littering the Peninsula.
Miller has spent the majority of his campaign touting himself as a fiscal conservative and bringing up his links and working relationship with the GOP -- he has served as a longtime adviser and aid to Republican U.S. Sen. Paul Trible, who now heads up Christopher Newport University.
Miller has reached out to the Republican centrists who backed Williams, by appealing to moderate voters from both parties and stressing that he will be a common sense, problem solver who will work across partisan lines to get things done."I'm very hopeful that we can change some things in Virginia still," Stall said. "There are a lot of citizens out there right now who are with me and who understand where we need to take Virginia."
Stall has also gotten assistance on the campaign trail from her recently repaired relationship with the moderate members of the GOP who lead the Senate.
Those lawmakers spent thousands trying to defend Williams from Stall's primary challenge, painting her as a extremist who was unfit for office. But with control of the Senate hanging over just a handful of close races, those same leaders have now endorsed Stall and helped fund her campaign because she could be the candidate that keeps Republicans in control of the agenda and the committees in the Senate.
In the end, however, it appeared that Stall was unable to effectively woo moderate Republicans to her cause.
"There were some Republicans who probably decided to support my opponent," she said.

I wanna know what love is- Lyrics and video

"I Want to Know What Love Is" is a power ballad recorded by the British-American rock band Foreigner. This song is, alongside "Urgent" and "Waiting for a Girl Like You", one of the band's best known songs.
Written by Mick Jones and produced by him and Alex Sadkin, it was the first single released from the album Agent Provocateur (1984). The song features backing vocals from the New Jersey Mass Choir , Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday, and the Thompson Twins.

It reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on January 13, 1985, and stayed there for three weeks. It reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on February 2, 1985, where it stayed for two weeks. It was Foreigner's only chart-topper in both countries.

In 2004 it was voted #476 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
Soon after Foreigner's single topped the charts, the New Jersey Mass Choir released its own, similar-sounding version of the song, on the album I Want to Know What Love Is". It peaked at #37.



I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when Im older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
Cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

Im gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
I cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Lets talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and Im feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

Martina Hingis admits positive drug test


Martina Hingis is former tennis player and World No. 1. Known as the "Swiss Miss", she won five Grand Slam singles titles (three Australian Open, one Wimbledon, and one US Open) before her retirement in November 2007.
She also won nine Grand Slam women's doubles titles, winning a calendar year Grand Slam in 1998, and one Grand Slam mixed doubles title. She spent a total of 209 weeks as World No. 1 and set a series of "youngest-ever" records before ligament injuries in both ankles forced her to temporarily withdraw from professional tennis at the relatively early age of 22.

On November 29, 2005, after several surgeries and long recuperations, the 25-year-old Hingis announced that she would return to the WTA tour. During her comeback Hingis climbed as high as No. 6 in the world rankings and won three titles (at the Tier I tournament in Rome, the Tier III tournament in Kolkata, India, and the Tier I tournament in Tokyo).

The Swiss star denied ever taking drugs and said the accusations against her were "horrendous and monstrous". "I have tested positive, but I have never taken drugs and I feel 100% innocent," said the 27-year-old former world number one in a statement. "The reason I have come out with this is because I do not want to have a fight with anti-doping authorities." Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam champion and former Wimbledon winner, lost in the third round at the All England Club to Laura Granville. She then underwent a routine drugs test, carried out under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

Her statement continued: "When I was informed I had failed my 'A' test following my defeat at Wimbledon I was shocked and appalled. I have no desire to spend the next seven years fighting doping officials. I'm frustrated and angry, and accusations such as these don't provide me with the motivation to continue."Because of my age and my health problems, I have also decided to retire from professional tennis."

In a statement, WTA Tour chief executive Larry Scott said his organisation knew nothing about any drugs test failure by Hingis. "We have not received any official information regarding the positive doping test result referred to by Martina Hingis, and as a result we are not in a position to comment on the matter," he said. "However, it is important to remember that in the area of anti-doping, all players are presumed innocent until proven otherwise."

A spokesperson for the Swiss tennis association told BBC Sport: "Our association makes it very clear that drugs is not, in any way, part of our sport. "It is sad to hear this news, but we have yet to have been informed of the details from the tests." BBC Radio 5 Live tennis correspondent Jonathan Overend added: "The tennis anti-doping policy protects a player's anonymity until the completion of any tribunal process. Hingis, in her words, has decided to confront the issue head on."

The Swiss star first retired in 2003 because of persistent injuries before returning to top-flight tennis at the start of 2006 and winning three more titles. She brought her season to a premature end last month because of hip problems and is currently ranked 19th in the world.
Hingis's admission and second retirement brings the final curtain down on a glittering career which first took off in 1997.

In that year, she won her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, aged 16 years, three months and 26 days, and was world number one by March. In July, she became the youngest player in the open era to win a singles title at Wimbledon, and also claimed the US Open in September. She defended her Australian Open crown in 1998 and 1999, but was hampered by a succession of injuries in subsequent seasons and quit the sport in 2003, vowing never to return.

He would play with stragglers, like me, who would be waiting to be picked up.
I remember once I climbed onto his car to retrieve our frisbee and he chased me around, trying to scold me.
When his son, Aryan, was born, I remember all the girls fawning over him when Shah Rukh brought him along once. He was really nice to us and not snooty like most stars in North America.
