Net proceeds will benefit One World Symphony's Community Music Program -- a program which enables students and parents who would otherwise not be in a position to afford classical concerts to obtain tickets to attend live performances during the One World Symphony season, such as our upcoming Halloween program.
Sail the open seas on the first leg of our season, venturing to the dramatic coasts of Ireland and Scotland.
Vaughan Williams's gripping one-act music drama Riders to the Sea is an emotional response to the wonder of the natural world, a losing battle with the sea which tyrannizes the lives of North Atlantic islanders. Mendelssohn guides us into Fingal's Cave -- an attraction that has provoked fascination and awe in many tourists -- in his Hebrides Overture. The piece echoes not only the sea waves, but depicts the vastness of the cave and its isolation from the rest of the world. One of Mahler's most profound and restrained songs, "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" ("I have become lost to the world") expresses how loss and love coexist in a world of weariness and uncertainty.
One World Symphony continues to embrace the diversity of contemporary culture by performing Björk's emotionally charged New World (heard in the film Dancer in the Dark) in a world premiere orchestration for vocal rock band and symphony orchestra. Paulo Coehlo's enchanting novel provides the inspiration for Hong'sFrom The Alchemist, which traces the wayfarer's journeys -- through all obstacles, to learn to listen to one's heart and realize one's destiny.

MYFOX NATIONAL - Who needs body armor when you got a hair weave? A Missouri woman is thanking her hairstylist for saving her life after her gun-toting ex-boyfriend allegedly shot at her. She survived the attack with just a headache after one of the rounds was stopped by her hair weave.
"In the back of my head, it was like bam! That's how it felt. It was hot, you could feel it," 20-year-old Briana Bonds said.
The police found the spent slug tangled in her hair, and say her weave prevented it from penetrating her skull.
"I've been wearing it for years. I've invested a lot of money into this weave. It saved my life. It saved my life," Bonds said.
The shooting happened as Bonds was pulling into a convenience store. She said she saw her former boyfriend parked nearby but didn't realize he was about to open fire. As she started to drive away, she said her ex, Juan Kemp, walked up to her car and started shooting.
"One of [the bullets] hit the back of my head. Luckily, it didn't go through because the back of my wig. My wig had stopped it. It was hanging in my hair. It was about this small, scrunched up."

So the NY Times had a series of George W. pictures on the front page not to long ago. Being a very liberal minded and creative person, I though what better way to show my contempt for the dumbest man in history than to use his face as a coaster. Bushy Boy will forever protect my table not from weapons of mass destruction, but from icey cold and wet beverages.

I love the time and in between
You are my sweetest downfall
You were waiting for me, you saw me, you saw me.
I've been walking in the same way as I did
When the rain is blowing in your face,
I will remember you.
Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Whether it’s the sunshine, whether it’s the rain?
Close your eyes give me your hand
Not now but soon.
Death by chocolate.
Love, I get so lost sometimes.
Where are we? What the hell is going on?
There is nothing special about when the sun goes down.
Some people will slip away if let go.
I’m being dragged down, down by the hand,
The storm is coming but I don't mind.
Well painted passion…
Hello.
I remember here.

One World Symphony Richard Strauss: Elektra (1909) (complete) Friday, January 23, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. (Brooklyn Premiere) Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. General Admission $40 Performed with 80+ symphony orchestra |  |

Due to the complexity of the piece, we regret that we cannot accommodate late arrivals for these performances. Please make sure to arrive on time so you will not miss out on this amazing experience brought to you by our very hard-working and talented artists! Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the world premiere of Richard Strauss's controversial Elektra(January 25, 1909) with One World Symphony's complete production. Based on the highly-charged Greek tragedy by Sophocles and adapted by Hofmannsthal, Elektra continues to stun and thrill contemporary listeners with the story of mighty Agamemnon, slain by his wife and her lover but avenged by his daughter Elektra. Strauss's scandalous music drama is one of the century's most daring scores for vocalists and symphony orchestra, brilliantly woven into a gripping psychodrama. Is Elektra possessed by her murdered father, or obsessed with honor and vengeance? | |

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed,
why a man whose father less than 60 years ago
might not have been served at a local restaurant
can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

God Love Her
by Toby Keith
Just a girl born in Dixie
washed in the blood
and raised on the banks
of the Mississippi mud
She always had a thing
about fallin' in love with a bad boy
Yea, they could see it all comin'
but her daddy never dreamed
she'd grow up that fast
you know what I mean
The way a girl gets
when she turns 17
Kinda crazy
She's a rebel child
and a preacher's daughter
She was baptized in dirty water
Her mama cried the first time
they caught her with me
They knew they couldn't stop her
She holds tight to me and the Bible
on the back seat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there
preachin' to the choir
You see...God love her
Oh me and God love her
She kissed her mama goodbye
said I'll be sure 'n phone ya
She called from a truck stop
in Tucson Arizona
With amazing grace
we made California alive
And then my gypsy life
started takin' it's toll
and the fast lane got empty
and out of control
And just like an angel
she saved my soul from the devil
Yea she's a rebel child
and a preacher's daughter
She was baptized in dirty water
Her mama cried the first time
they caught her with me
They knew they couldn't stop her
She holds tight to me and the Bible
on the back seat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there
preachin' to the choir
You see....God love her
oh me and God love her
Now she holds tight to me and the Bible
on the back seat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there
preachin' to the choir
You see...God love her
Oh me and God love her
God love her
God love her

Today I decided that I was going to fix the problem myself. And I did!!! I am now allowed to view these "forbidden" websites. I found were these dreaded flash player plug-ins lived and I had them evicted. Whose the technological genius now Mac!?!?!?
Well, not me. I have greater access to my favorite websites; however, Safari still sends me a warm and cozy message from time to time.
The page “*life is easier without friends*” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I guess you can never win.
