Dixie is a sweet and lazy old bloodhound who is a lay at your feet kind of dog. Although she loves to get petted, go for walks, and take rides in the car, her very favorite things to do are eat and sleep! Dixie does well with all dogs she has met and she tolerates even the rowdy ones, although she is protective of her food around other dogs and must be fed separately. She has also lived with cats and does fine with them too!Dixie has always lived indoors, and came to APB when her owner had to move from a house to an apartment and couldn't bring Dixie along. She is totally house trained and does not need to be crated. However, she will counter surf shamelessly when home alone and has a knack for getting items that her foster mom was sure were out of her reach, so her new family might want to keep her in a bedroom or other comfortable area where no food is available. Dixie is used to sleeping on the couch or in bed, and being a bloodhound it's her will to do so.Although Dixie is a larg
A while back, one member of the "Dixie Chicks" spoke out onstage saying she regretted that George W. Bush hails from her friend, Texas. After that, they were attacked by the media and general public as being anti-Bush and therefore anti-America. Now, things have come full circle, and the majority of Americans have a low approval of both Bush and the current administration. Now it is fashionable to question our current government. But that was not so a few years ago.In the wake of terrorist incidents and widespread threats, many people sacrificed freedom for security: the freedom to question one's government, to hold our leaders accountable, to voice disapproval in public. Were we wrong? I think so. Sure, it was a scary time. But when times get tough, you don't just shut down and pretend you've got an infallible hero leading the way. You've got to pay attention and do whatever you can to help. Blind support is not helping. It is hindering.And yet, it was fashionable, and

Lyrics:
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Uh uh... uh uh, uh uh
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Cause I've
It is not every day that one reads a book written by a witch and, in fact, The Witches of Dixie, by Laura Stamps, is a first for me (as far as I know, of course). Being only vaguely familiar with the concepts of Wicca and aware of the somewhat controversial range of opinion regarding the religion and those who practice it, I began the book hoping to learn what the life of a modern day witch is
Lyrics:
Daddy sits on a’ front porch swinging
Looking out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burley t’bacca
Now he knows it never will
Brothers’ found work in Indiana
Sisters a nurse at the old folks home
Mama still cooking too much for supper
And me I’ve been a long time gone
Chorus:
Been a long time gone
No, I ain’t hoed a row since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t coming
Lyrics:
I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of bluebonnets
In a blanket made of stars
Oh it sounds good to me
(I said) Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and
Closer to you
Die Dixie Chicks, dass ist die komerziell erfolgreichste Frauenband mit den beiden Geschwistern Emily Robison (Gitarre, Dobro und Banjo), Martie Maguire (Geige und Mandoline) und der Leadsängerin Natalie Maines. Letztere hat das ein oder andere mal ein etwas loseres Mundwerk und so war das Geschrei in Amerika groß, als man von ihrem Satz auf einem Londoner Konzert hörte, dass sie sich schäme, dass Ihr Präsident, George W, aus Texas komme.
Für die US-amerikanischen-Presse ein gefundenes Fressen und für die eher rechtskonservativen Countryszene ein Grund von nun an die Dixie Chicks aus deren Radioprogramm vollständig zu verbannen. Damit sind die Dixie Chicks nicht die ersten, die dort einer Zensur unterlagen. In dem Land, welches angeblich so groß für die Rede- und Meinungsfreiheit einsteht und bei denen Nazis überall ihre Parolen und Hetze verbreiten dürfen, aber wehe dem der etwas kritisch mit der Regierung in Kriegszeiten umgeht, der wird schnell erkennen, dass amerikanis

Kevin Dixie of FuelMyBlog tagged me while I was suffering under my internet blackout to reveal 8 things about me and the soon to be Mrs. O’Flaherty.
Now there are a bunch of rules that go with participating in this meme but they’ll really only affect the folks I tag, so I’ll post them at the end.
Okay, here are 8 things about me and the soon to be Mrs. O’Flaherty.
Pusle is a very private person and won’t let me use her real name online. She nearly killed me once when I dropped a pic or two of her in my gallery.
We divide the house work evenly. Pusle takes care of the garden and I take care of most everything else.
We, as yet, have no kids. We plan on having our first as soon as we get married on September 22.
We both love the outdoors. Pusle was a scout and Paul is an ex soldier. We don’t get to enjoy the outdoors much anymore as Pusle’s hypermobility effects her badly.
Pusle has 1 sister. Paul has 2 brothers and 3 sisters. Pusle has n
This adorable dress ($180 USD) has the most fantastic dot print and puff sleeves. It is extremely flattering for those typically troubled around their midsection because it flares gently below the bust line. Although it reads a little House on the Prairie we want to see you rock this dress at your next Sunday afternoon gathering.

Review by Maria Konicki Dinoia @ allmusic.com
With more than six million copies sold of the Dixie Chicks' first album, Wide Open Spaces, the highest ever by a country group, it's reasonable to have pretty imposing expectations of their sophomore album. But Fly delivers. When you watch Natalie Maines, Martie Seidel, and Emily Erwin being interviewed on TV or performing in front of an
All About Jazz has a nice piece on the recently re-released DVD's of the Dixie Dregs and the Steve Morse Band. Dixie Dregs - Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1978, and The Steve Morse Band - Live in Baden Baden Germany March 1990 were both released a couple of years ago, but were recently re-released domestically by Eagle Eye Media.

Did the Dixie Chisck get vindicated at the Grammy awards on Sunday. Well, I guess it depends on whoo you ask. If you are a Country Music listener, I think that you might just say no. Record sales and popularity...
Ah yes, the Grannys... that annual tradition of the record industry straining to spin "legendary" moments from sow's asses, as the business itself sinks deeper into the downward spiral of oblivion. CD sales are tumbling. Record stores are closing. Labels keep merging, employees keep getting put on the chopping block and the whiz-kid execs hired to turn fortunes around walk away with sweetheart bonus clauses. The evidence is mounting and yet no one can stop the bleeding. Until Neil Portnow comes on to do his "illegal download deterrent" monologue. Nero's warming up the ol' fiddle, indeed.The show has actually tried to enter the 21st century with the rest of us as it's finally acknowledged the existence of Black musicians under the age of AARP membership. But for every small step made (Van H
The Dixie Chicks were big winners at the Grammy's this year as they walked away with all five awards that they were nominated for, the main three that they one was the Album of the year "Taking the Long Way', and song and record of the year was for "Not Ready to Make Nice' and the other two awards was for the best country performance by a group or duo with vocal and lastly best county album also for "Taking the Long Way'.
Other main winners at the Grammy Awards were Mary J. Blige, winning three out of her eight nominations these were for R&B performance, R&B song and R&B album, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers won four Grammy's these were for best rock performance by a duo or group with vocal, best rock song, best limited edition package and best rock album.
Carrie Underwood scored two awards one for best new artist and also best female country performance, another American Idol winner "Kelly Clarkson' also took home two Grammy's

This was posted on the Steve Morse Mailinglist Yahoo Group, and I just had to put it up here. This photo of the Dixie Dregs was taken in 1977 in front of Peaches Records in Memphis. This originally appeared in Billboard magazine. From left to right: Allen Sloan - violin, Steve Morse - guitar, Rod Morgenstein - drums, Andy West - bass, and (probably) Mark Parrish - keys.
NBC issued a statement in a letter to the Dixie Chicks stating that they could not run their ads because they were “. . . disparaging to President Bush.” But as we can see here RedState.org has no problem running ads for the Dixie Chicks. So what’s NBC’s problem?
Kudos to RedState for having the balls to at least take the ad money, but, someone needs to tell them that Republicans are the last ones who should be declaring that anything is in its “last throes.”

In what’s likely one last publicity move for their ever-disappearing musical careers, the Dixie Chicks apparently are raising a stink over the fact that television networks don’t want to air their bitchfest of a movie about the reactions to them trashing the president three years ago.
Yawn. Repeat after me: the fact that a for-profit company doesn’t want to air your political message is not censorship. Please move along.

Dixie Riggs by Sarah Gilbert : I picked this one up at book sale for 50 cents. Now I know why. According to Amazon it's YA (Young Adult). Knowing that it is meant to be a Young Adult book also might explain why I didn't think it was very good, but honestly, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. The story is that Dixie Riggs wants to get married to Buck Speed, who is a body builder/auto repair/evangelist wannabe. In order to try to advance her career, she enters modeling school along with her friend Sparkle. She and Sparkle get into all sorts of situations including creating some nude "modeling" photos. Along the way Dixie gets pregnant but is uncertain as to the father. Various confrontations and situations occur and the story is mostly resolved. There are no truly positive characters in this book. No one has any sort of accountability or even real concern for the various characters involved. As this is written about the south (South Carolina) it seems to wallow in makin

El único detalle que vale la pena acotar es que le suban el volumen al disco de The Awesome Machine, no es porque sea increible, es bastante bueno por cierto, pero el problema es que es un Demo con mala calidad de sonido.
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken(1973)320kbps Following Roy Estrada's departure during the supporting tour for Sailin' Shoes, Lowell George became infatuated with New Orleans R&B and mellow jamming, all of which came to a head on their third album, 1973's Dixie Chicken. Although George is firmly in charge - he dominates the record, writing or co-writing seven of the 10 songs - this is the point where Little Feat found its signature sound as a band, and no album they would cut from this point on was too different from this seductive, laid-back, funky record. But no album would be quite as good, either, since Dixie Chicken still had much of the charming lyrical eccentricities of the first two albums, plus what is arguably George's best-ever set of songs. Partially due to the New Orleans infatuation, the album holds together better than Sailin' Shoes and George takes full advantage of the band's increased musical palette, writing songs that sound easy but are quite sophisticated, such as
Review by Kelly McCartney @ allmusic.com
When sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Erwin founded the Dixie Chicks in 1989, could they have possibly known the success that would someday be theirs? After three independent records and several lineup changes, the group was re-energized by new lead singer Natalie Maines and the support of a major label, and exploded onto the contemporary country scene
After been ignored by radio stations and loosing their producer and been on the recieveing end of hate mail... the Dixie Chicks have given them all the birdie (the middle finger) a big suck on that!! Check out my previous post here, which was last year while all this was going on.The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines could not resist the rich irony - or the chance to rub their success in the face of a country music establishment that turned its back on them."That's interesting,'' Maines said in picking up the band's Grammy for best country album, one of four awards the group received today. Country radio stations have largely ignored the band after Maines' infamous 2003 remarks critical of US President George W Bush on a London stage."Well, to quote the great Simpsons: 'Heh-heh','' she said, invoking the gloating laugh of a bully character on The Simpsons TV series.The Dixie Chicks' Not Ready to Make Nice, a blistering retort to their critics following the incident, had alread
I don't know about any of you but I am sick of defending the Dixie Chicks and their right to free speech. I don't give a crap what some idiot's take on politics is any more than I care what GW Bush thinks about goth music. Her latest dumb f%$k statement about the President is the last straw for me. I am never buying one of their CDs again.
