Share your first concert experience - Arts Talk - Capital Region arts ...

The Psychedelic Furs? ?concert on Saturday, June 2, at The Egg in Albany has got me thinking about my first concert experience.

This was in the early 1980s in Pittsburgh, where I grew up. I was 14 at the time, and the P-Furs post-punk pop had an edge to it that my mother didn?t understand. But I also had older brothers who had gone to concerts for bands such as The Clash and Black Sabbath the previous year, so I suppose the P-Furs seemed tame by comparison.

What I remember most about the concert isn?t the music or the people I was with, but the atmosphere of the concert hall. The PFurs played the Syria Mosque, a venue that has since been replaced by a parking lot. After a drive in a packed station wagon from the suburbs, we entered another reality.

The lobby was thick with cigarette and pot smoke. And even though we got there right when our tickets said the concert was supposed to be starting, it seemed everyone was in the lobby.

Creatures in black studded leather jackets crowded the bathrooms or around the merch table, with their spiky hair rising dangerously two, three feet above their foreheads and their faces made ghastly pale by white makeup and eyes rimmed with black kohl. Who were these scray people? The people my mother feared: Goths, or fans of alternative music.

That was what concerts used to be: scary older people in a haze of drug-tinged smoke staying out really late because even the opening act didn?t start until an hour and half past the ticketed time. Other concerts I went to? in my teens, such as The Smiths and REM, were exactly like that, too.

Fast-forward to 2008, when I took my then 14-year-old stepson to his first concert, REM. For some reason, I thought I?d be introducing him to a world very much like the one I experienced at the Psychedelic Furs concert when I was 14.

I was wrong. We were at the Comcast Center outside Boston, and the outdoor venue was park like, like SPAC, and was filled with middle agers and their kids, plenty of them younger than my stepson. No one was smoking. No one could smoke. And everything started and ended on time.

Now that the summer concert season is about to go into full swing, what with the ZAC Brown Band launching the first SPAC concert on June 1, I was wondering about your first concert experience, either for yourself or taking your kids. Share your story in the comments below, and we?ll print the best ones in an upcoming Preview section.

How to Deal with Family Opposition of Homeschool { Community ...

I love the Holy Spirit-led Homeschooling Facebook community. ?If you are on Facebook, and you haven?t joined, you should. :) ?There are over 8,000 homeschooling families who make the page great. ?One of my favorite aspects of the community are the?questions and conversations that spark. A common?occurrence is a homeschooling mom posting a?question and in return she?ll receive anywhere from 40-100 answers! ?I want to carry some of that wonderful helpfulness here onto the blog; especially for readers who don?t use Facebook. ?

This inspired?my new?Community?Question special feature! ?As long as I receive questions via email, smoke?signal, fax machine,?or Facebook, I will answer a 1-3 of those here on Holy Spirit-led Homeschooling in a blog post each week. ?Then, you?ll have the?opportunity?to share your thoughts and tips in the comments of the post and/or in the Facebook community.

Today lets tackle one question; I know this is a topic that all homeschoolers face at some point in their?journey:

T.B.?asked?~

?How do you deal with extreme family opposition and the implication that you are not smart enough to teach your own children? I am a stay at home mom and I have family who are ?constantly encouraging my 4-year-old?to ask when she can go to ?school.? ?

Oooo, boy ? we?ve been there. ?We have faced extreme family opposition; and I?ve faced criticism that I?m not smart enough to teach my children. ?Let me break this question down a little further.

Family Opposition of Homeschool

It hurts. ?You want so bad for everyone in your family to see that homeschooling is a beautiful?gift. ?Instead, you?re met with blank stares, or rude comments, about your well thought and prayed out choice. ?Honestly, after homeschooling almost a decade we still have some family members who we?ve?realized?may never fully accept our homeschool life. ?Like any kind of opposition we?recognize that this is from the enemy. ?We all go through seasons of opposition, especially when we are obeying the Lord.

  • Exodus 14:14 ?The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.? ?This is my power verse in many situations. ?It works just fine to claim and cling to when you?re meeting opposition from family too.
  • I wrote two articles on Overcoming?Judgments?of Homeschooling and When?Judgments?Come
  • Focus on the positive voices.? Focus on those who do support your journey. ?Thank the family and friends who stand beside you. As long as my husband and I are in agreement, and we?re following the Lord, I have to focus on those?positives.

Am I Smart Enough to Homeschool My Children

I know moms with only their G.E.D?s who are?successfully?homeschooling their children. I also know mothers who are highly educated by the world?s standards and are also doing an outstanding job home educating their children.?I feel with a heart for the Lord, and basic life experience, any mother can homeschool their child with flying colors. Most days I feel that I?m learning right along with my children. ?It?s not a matter of me teaching them everything they need to know. ?I mean, really ? did you graduate high school knowing it all? ?Most of us didn?t. ?I?ve learned most things as an adult. ?I?m sure I?ll fill in my own personal gaps while learning along side my children. ?Homeschool moms have the gift of receiving an education twice!

The Myth of Teacher Qualifications?is an article written?by Chris Klicka, former Senior Counsel for?HSLDA. ?This article sites several examples in reference to the myth of needing a teaching?license?to be an effective teacher (nothing against my Christian teacher friends out there ? we?re encouraging moms that they can do their God-given jobs, without the teacher?s license).

A statement from the article, ?Dr. Peavey concluded his testimony with practical examples of excellent student achievement results by students who were being taught by their parents, most without degrees or certificates. He explained that many studies demonstrate that homeschooled children ?commonly score a year or more above their peers in regular schools on standard measures of achievement.?5?Remember, that was even considering homeschooling parents without degrees.

No matter what family opposition you face, the Lord picked YOU to be the mother of your children. ?You are anointed to be their teacher. ?It is you who the Lord pre-ordained to guided these sweet souls toward him. ?No earthly qualification, or approval of man, and trump who God anointed you to be.

Now it?s your turn to join in and encourage this homeschool mom. Answer in the comments or on Facebook. ?

  • How do you handle opposition from family over your homeschool? ?
  • Have you had to deal with being told or feeling that you?re not smart enough to teach your children? ?
  • What are some ways the Lord has led you through these situations?

Former Rutgers student gets 30 days prison for bias crime

NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey (Reuters) - A former Rutgers University student was sentenced on Monday to 30 days in prison for a bias crime after he spied on his roommate's gay encounter in a case that drew national attention to bullying.

Dharun Ravi, 20, had faced a maximum of 10 years behind bars for his conviction for using a webcam to invade the privacy of his roommate, Tyler Clementi, and an older man in their college dorm room.

Clementi, 18, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge in September 2010, days after learning Ravi watched them through the computer-mounted camera and used social media to encourage others to do so. Ravi was not charged with causing Clementi's death.

In handing down the relatively light sentence, Judge Glenn Berman emphasized that he never referred to Ravi's action as a hate crime - a term commonly used to describe bias intimidation laws - but rather as a bias crime.

"I don't believe he hated Tyler Clementi. He had no reason to. But I do believe he acted out of colossal insensitivity," Berman said.

The judge then sentenced Ravi to 30 days in prison, followed by three years probation, 300 hours of community service as well as counseling about cyberbullying and alternative lifestyles.

He ordered Ravi to pay $10,000 for a community-based organization that assists victims of bias crimes and to pay $1,900 in penalties.

"I heard this jury say 'guilty' 288 times. Twenty-four questions, 12 jurors. That's the multiplication. I haven't heard you apologize once," Berman told Ravi.

The judge also pledged to recommend that Ravi, who was born in India and grew up in the United States, not be deported. A similar recommendation was made by the older man, identified only as M.B., in a letter his lawyer read in court before sentence was imposed.

Berman said the prison time was punishment, in part, for Ravi's efforts to get others to watch a second planned attempt to use the webcam, considered a bias crime, and for evidence tampering for destroying text messages.

The prosecution indicated it planned to appeal the sentence, which would otherwise begin on May 31.

As he listened to the judge, Ravi sat wide-eyed, far more stoic than moments earlier when he sobbed as his crying mother begged the court for leniency for her son.

"Dharun's dreams are shattered and he has been living in hell for the past 20 months," she told the judge.

She spoke a few moments after Clementi's mother, both of them recalling meeting in the dorm room on the first day of college, each remembering the other's son as somewhat cold and standoffish.

MIXED REACTION FROM GAY ADVOCATES

Through her tears, Jane Clementi urged the judge to "do the right thing" and punish Ravi for his actions to show the world how wrong they were. She was stunned that even after Clementi requested a roommate change upon learning of the spying, no student or staff member from Rutgers University came to his defense.

"Why didn't any of them speak up and stop it? How did it spiral so out of control? They knew it was wrong, yet no one stopped, no one stood up to the mastermind, the 'computer genius'," she said.

After the sentencing, the Clementis, who had earlier planned to make a statement to the media, and the Ravis rushed in separate directions from the courthouse without comment.

The verdict prompted a mixed reaction from gay advocates, some of whom thought Ravi was being unfairly punished for Clementi's suicide and should not be imprisoned. One who called for leniency was gay rights activist Bill Dobbs, who described the short sentence as a "relief."

"The judge went a long way to take the pressure of an out-of-control prosecution," Dobbs said.

But Garden State Equality CEO Steven Goldstein, who wanted Ravi to serve prison time, said it was far too short. "This was not merely a childhood prank gone awry. This was not a crime without bias," Goldstein said in a statement.
