My mother and grandfather could do the Polka well.
And then there was the Obeka!  Grandpa, and I liked the
Obeka better than the traditional Polka.

Grandma use to send me on a summer Saturday night to the
Polish National Hall on Driggs Ave., at around 11 PM, to fetch Grandpa and make him come home to Broom St.,
behind St. Stanislas Church.  He always came with me, happy and drunk as he was.

Some years ago when we drove to California to see Linda and Joe, we were driving along I-10 in western Texas, and on the AM radio stations I was surprised to find Mexican music with a Polka theme and beat. I had never known Polka
had been combined with Mexican music.

Polka originated in Czech peasant communities in the 1840s. The word "Polka" comes from the Czech phrase for half-step, as is found in the Polka dance. With its lively rhythm, the Polka soon became popular throughout Europe. It crossed the ocean to Mexico during the reign of Mexico's Austrian-born Emperor Maximilian (1864-1867), and was adopted and adapted by Mexicans as a common folk form, especially in rural areas. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Central European settlers brought their love of Polka with them to their new homes in Mexico and the southeast U.S. (especially Texas). Characterized by its quick tempo and 2/4 "oompah" rhythm, traditional Mexican Polkas are performed by brass ensembles or accordion and guitar Conjunto ensembles. In Mexico and Texas, the Polka blended with traditional Mexican song forms to create the popular genres of Conjunto and Norteño music. ...

Debate Follows Bills to Remove Clotheslines Bans

. . . . . Like the majority of the 60 million people who now live in the country’s roughly 300,000 private communities, Ms. Saylor was forbidden to dry her laundry outside because many people viewed it as an eyesore, not unlike storing junk cars in driveways, and a marker of poverty that lowers property values. . . .

Proposed snapper, grouper fishing ban would be large-scale
A months-long fight between fishermen and federal fisheries managers has come to this: By late October a decision is expected on whether to ban red snapper fishing for at least six months. By spring, a final decision is expected on an indefinite ban on recreational and commercial fishing from Cape Canaveral to Charleston, S.C., for any kind of snapper or grouper.

A Serious Man Movie Trailer

http://www.Nonby.com
Ladies and gentlemen, your long wait is OVER! The Coen Brothers are back with their newest release, A Serious Man, coming to theatres October second.

When Larry Gopnik, a professor from the Midwest, finds that his brother has landed on some hard times, he does what any other brother would and invites him to leave. But as brother's chances of leaving fall by the day, Larry's wife just can't take it any more and prepares to leave herself. Check out the trailer.

Some have said that this is the Coen brothers' departure from comedy, though who could mistake No Country For Old Men for a comedy? I say they're finding comedy to their liking and putting it into just about everything they do any more. But will you invite this one in? Or has it already worn out its welcome? Hit the comments section below to tell us what you think, and thanks for watching!

A Serious Man Cast: Michael Stuhlbarg, Fred Melamed, Richard Kind, Aaron Wolf, Sari Wagner, Jessica McManus, Adam Arkin

Oh, the Hypocrisy! The Vote To Regulate The Internet As More Media Consolidation Looms

Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/art-brodsky/oh-the-hypocrisy-the-vote_b_307587.html

....The Net Neutrality debate is getting stupidly ugly very quickly. The meme that AT&T, Verizon and their minions are spreading on Capitol Hill is that Net Neutrality is "anti-business." On its face that's laughable, but gullible legislators will buy it coming from all the bought-off business groups that the telcos and cable companies send up to lobby Congress. The big companies are floating that in an effort to gain support for an amendment to a spending bill that would prohibit the FCC from doing a Net Neutrality rulemaking. AT&T, Verizon and the rest are targeting the so-called "moderate Democrats" on the Senate Commerce Committee who consider themselves as business supporters, such as Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Mark Warner of Virginia or Mark Pryor of Arkansas. A member of Congress or Senator who hears "anti-business" in the middle of a recession will, without thinking, vote to stop the dreaded FCC. It's time for them to stop and think.

A rule to make sure that everyone has equal access to the Internet and to everyone online is a great leveler. It is pro-business, in that it creates opportunities for those who can't afford the favored treatments that would be available to some, but not to others, absent a firm Net Neutrality rule. Any small business owners who want to do business online without paying a "quality of service tax" or other extra electronic blackmail charge that would be levied on captive customers, should let their member of Congress know that Net Neutrality protects small business. AT&T's arch-enemy, Google, is a fine example of a company that its founders say wouldn't have been able to exist or to grow without unrestricted access to the Internet. Say what you will about the company now, but its growth is Exhibit A for what can happen under the neutral Internet when the company was created and growing.....
