Dear Dave (or whatever your name is):

You have caused unbelievable chaos in my life over the past few months by pretending to be me when people have written to your email address by mistake. Yes, my address at Google has a "g" in the middle and yoursdoes not. Had I gotten your mail by mistake, I would have just told the senders to check out the address and try again. Instead, you pretended to be me and sent obscenities to some of them and gibberish to others. Luckily three people knew me well enough to realize that it was a sophomoric prank, and that is how I discovered what has been going on. Even so, it took lots of explaining and apologies. The real worry is that I have no way of knowing how many people were truly offended and have now written me off. I have just gotten off the phone once again explaining all of this to one of my supervisors at work who wondered why his emails had be answered by nonsense.

I have begged Google to ask you to stop, but they will not get involved. Of course, you probably knew that already.

Grow up and get a life!

Dave

Hello David,

Thank you for your email. As per your request, I shall no longer take our name in vain. For quite a long time my responses were generally informative, but the volume of email I got on your behalf became overwhelming. It got to the point where it seemed as though you were using my variation of your email address for liaisons with people that perhaps you did not want to deal with. I appreciate this is an assumption, but as I had no idea who the 'other' David Smith was and since it's such a popular name, I didn't feel this conclusion was entirely untoward. It was always easy enough to get in contact with myself at any point, yet no communication came so I thought nothing more of it.

It seems you've gotten yourself into quite a state, even contacting Google yet never thought of actually contacting me yourself. I shall stop replying to the emails, but would request that you're more explicit when sharing your email address.

Dear Dave,

Thanks for your note...very glad to get this cleared up. I discontinued use of this email address after the first incidents were brought to my attention last fall and now use it for the sake of checking archived mail. I had not contacted you directly on the advice of friends who had dealt with identity theft cases, but I realize now that the direct approach would have saved us both considerable inconvenience. Sorry about that...you live and learn.

I have by now contacted everyone in my address book with my new address which cannot be confused with yours, so I hope you do not be receive any further mails that were meant for me.

Sincerely,

David Smith

Dear Mr. smith,

I greatly enjoyed our conversation about KPMG's assurance associate position today. Speaking with you has reinforced my perception of KPMG's outstanding employees. It is always a great opportunity to be able to speak with a partner, especially one as well traveled and engaged with his career as you are. I especially liked hearing about your insight into your firm's ongoing efforts in maintaining the consistency and the quality in the service provided from each office. You told me that the constantly changing nature of the accounting profession continues to keep you interested in your work. This dynamic work environment is also one of my reasons for pursing the assurance position with KPMG.

During the interview, you asked me about a skill I could improve upon and about any regrets I have during my time at UCSC. Unfortunately, my answers left little time for me to tell you about my strengths. I am convinced I have all the qualities you are looking for in a candidate. I am a very dedicated and detail-oriented worker with verbal and written communication skills to match. If you could spare some time, I would like to provide specific examples from my educational and work experience. Many of my peers would make great candidates, however, I feel that my previous work experience in SOX Section 404 compliance and in the client-oriented contracting industry set me apart.

Many Languages Are Dying

2007-09-21T07:14:00.001-07:00

Researchers Say Many Languages Are Dying

WASHINGTON, Tue Sep 18, 05:53 PM

When every known speaker of the language Amurdag gets together, there's still no one to talk to. Native Australian Charlie Mangulda is the only person alive known to speak that language, one of thousands around the world on the brink of extinction. From rural Australia to Siberia to Oklahoma, languages that embody the history and traditions of people are dying, researchers said Tuesday.

While there are an estimated 7,000 languages spoken around the world today, one of them dies out about every two weeks, according to linguistic experts struggling to save at least some of them.

Five hotspots where languages are most endangered were listed Tuesday in a briefing by the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages and the National Geographic Society.

In addition to northern Australia, eastern Siberia and Oklahoma and the U.S. Southwest, many native languages are endangered in South America Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia as well as the area including British Columbia, and the states of Washington and Oregon.

Losing languages means losing knowledge, says K. David Harrison, an assistant professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College.

"When we lose a language, we lose centuries of human thinking about time, seasons, sea creatures, reindeer, edible flowers, mathematics, landscapes, myths, music, the unknown and the everyday."

As many as half of the current languages have never been written down, he estimated.

That means, if the last speaker of many of these vanished tomorrow, the language would be lost because there is no dictionary, no literature, no text of any kind, he said.

Harrison is associate director of the Living Tongues Institute based in Salem, Ore. He and institute director Gregory D.S. Anderson analyzed the top regions for disappearing languages.

Anderson said languages become endangered when a community decides that its language is an impediment. The children may be first to do this, he explained, realizing that other more widely spoken languages are more useful.

The key to getting a language revitalized, he said, is getting a new generation of speakers. He said the institute worked with local communities and tries to help by developing teaching materials and by recording the endangered language.

Harrison said that the 83 most widely spoken languages account for about 80 percent of the world's population while the 3,500 smallest languages account for just 0.2 percent of the world's people. Languages are more endangered than plant and animal species, he said.

The hot spots listed at Tuesday's briefing:

Northern Australia, 153 languages. The researchers said aboriginal Australia holds some of the world's most endangered languages, in part because aboriginal groups splintered during conflicts with white settlers. Researchers have documented such small language communities as the three known speakers of Magati Ke, the three Yawuru speakers and the lone speaker of Amurdag.

Central South America including Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia 113 languages. The area has extremely high diversity, very little documentation and several immediate threats. Small and socially less-valued indigenous languages are being knocked out by Spanish or more dominant indigenous languages in most of the region, and by Portuguese in Brazil.

Northwest Pacific Plateau, including British Columbia in Canada and the states of Washington and Oregon in the U.S., 54 languages. Every language in the American part of this hotspot is endangered or moribund, meaning the youngest speaker is over age 60. An extremely endangered language, with just one speaker, is Siletz Dee-ni, the last of 27 languages once spoken on the Siletz reservation in Oregon.

Eastern Siberian Russia, China, Japan 23 languages. Government policies in the region have forced speakers of minority languages to use the national and regional languages and, as a result, some have only a few elderly speakers.

Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico 40 languages. Oklahoma has one of the highest densities of indigenous languages in the United States. A moribund language of the area is Yuchi, which may be unrelated to any other language in the world. As of 2005, only five elderly members of the Yuchi tribe were fluent.

The research is funded by the Australian government, U.S. National Science Foundation, National Geographic Society and grants from foundations.

Hi Dave,

Let me first say how great it is to be back in a choir. I've really enjoyed the first two rehearsals.

My old choir (Cambridge) will be touring to Hong Kong in December, and I'm planning to go (both to add my voice, and more personally because the conductor is my girlfriend who I only get to see every few months). I've just discovered the dates, and unfortunately they coincide exactly with the week when your choir is performing: 1-9th December. :(

However, I am very keen to sing this term and can make all the family concerts, and the one day retreat. I feel I could contribute during the rehearsals even if not performing in the concerts, though can understand why you might prefer me not to sing. In any case, please let me know what you think.

Next term there should be no problems.

I've really enjoyed having you in the first rehersals! The way your pert little buttocks sway when you reach for the high notes has caused more than a little stirring from my end, for certain ;)

So things are pretty rocky between you and your girlfriend, huh? Women hey, WHO NEEDS THEM??? Are you with me!? I hope you say yes.

On a more serious note though, I require complete dedication from my choir and no less. Getting married? Choir comes first. Wife giving birth? Choir comes first. Usually I wouldn't give your request a second thought, but the thought of losing the sight of those buttocks is one I'm not sure I can bare.

I'm sure we can come to some sort of arrangement where everyone's happy. Perhaps some private sessions also ;) ?

On another note: I was reflecting on your comment that Schutz used the tenor as a type of "hazan" or cantor. I was watching the old Al Jolson "Jazz Singer" in which he sings Kol Nidry on Yom Kippur and researched that. One version of Kol Nidry is influenecd by Gregorian chant---idea being the synagogue windows were open and heard the cathedral choirs and in any event Gregorian chant comes from the synagogues. It's all cyclical and we are all one.

The Natural Sounds of Pure Music

Sunday, March 18, 2007 15:00p.m.

Pure Music is a fast developing genre in the music world that produces the transparent sounds of nature in harmony with the world of revered classical music. The thrust of this particular genre is its calming effect on the listener's brain contributing toward physical and spiritual healing. Recently Pure Music has gained worldwide attention as a therapy in the medical field.

Mr. Hiroki Tamaki, composer and violinist, has gained a reputation in Japan as a leader in Pure Music. Among his fans are medical institutions and nursing homes where he plays to an audience seeking to relieve such symptoms as insomnia, high blood pressure and headaches. Tamaki is a graduate of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts & Music and also conducts a program on NHK radio. He will be performing with pianist/ physician, Dr. Rikka Fukuda, who is known as the "singer-song doctor" among his patients for promoting Pure Music as a treatment. Harpist, Ms Yoshiko Miyake, will accompany the musicians. She is a graduate of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. In keeping with the concept of healing, the musical trio also plays for charities.

Tickets are available for the concert with tea and cake at 3,500yen (including 166yen tax).

Aaaaaah, pure music. Pure music pure music pure music pure music pure music. Yes! Pure music. You can probably already guess my opinion on Pure Music. I mean, is music ever really "Pure"? Is "Pure" ever "Music"? It's an interesting conundrum and one that I think difficult to describe in words alone. These are exciting times my friend. Exciting times indeed. But is "Pure" exciting, or is "exciting" Pure? I'm finding this hard to describe through text as my mind is racing ahead of my hands. If you want to know my true opinion on "Pure Music", then the next time you see me, grab my shoulders and below "Excelsior!" and to the next level we shall travel.

I suspected as much. I'll give the concert a pass (but as it will be unheard, not a passing grade).

I assume that the therapy side is just as, well, unexceptional? Or, to rephrase, mood music is only that for people who want to pay for sound in the background that they won't listen to -- and if they're forced to listen to it their mood might change and not for the better. [Uh, I thought I had a cute phrase coming, but no it's a flop.] Anyway "pure music" doesn't improve anyone's mood or mental health if the standard of comparison is either silence or listenable music ... ?

Don't rush to answer, but thanks for answering the first time around.

Barry,

Don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm as open minded as the next chap, but this "pure music" leaves me feeling that the dance of the emperors new clothes is leaving us with an earful of pink pancakes, yet very little syrup to aid their digestion.

I mean, you wouldn't trust Paris Hilton to mow your lawn now, would you?

Well, there is techno music that I like (Chemical Brothers) but rap is not my thing. But New Age music ... some new music will eventually be classic, but I've never heard anything "New" that I wanted to hear a second time. Most I didn't want to hear the first time. Jazz on recordings is not something that I like, but live jazz can be quite nice. Ditto for various showy virtuoso pieces, they demand showmanship and a CD can't convey that. On the other hand I can't imagine sitting through a concert of Gregorian chant, but a recording can be really nice. On the Japanese end there is gagaku, the most excruciating concert experience I've ever had, far worse than the concert I went to straight from the hospital after having all 4 wisdom teeth removed ... a complete performance of Handel's Messiah. A full dose of Demarol (or maybe it was morphine) may have had had an effect on that latter experience.
As to Paris Hilton, I thought she liked guys to mow her lawn ... so no, I wouldn't trust her to mow mine.

Uh, a 6 pm message for lunch today????

Anyway, I can potentially head in tomorrow (Tues) but expect to be in on Wed for an evening seminar so that would work. I'm in on Thursday, too, with a lunch and an afternoon and, remind me, something in the evening? No dinner set yet but since it's a fulbright seminar a group are very highly likely to head out afterwareds, so Thurs is not so good.
BTW are you doing voice sessions this month? I know you'd mentioned starting at 7 pm but not sure when etc etc.

My friends and I were so happy to meet you yesterday and so delighted that you will help us out with Cup. Your authentic voice will be great - I thinnk we told you we will have Englebert Humperdink (came with the Steve Miller years ago) with her bit of a German accent and all of that will make it so much more believable. At least Mama won't have a Southern drawl.

I will copy and send you the parts we'd like for you to do. If it turns out that you can be with us that would be wonderful. Even if you can't, it would be great if you could come out to Holy Cross, see the church (beautiful in new church way - not beautiful like Prince George) - meet the cast and maybe go through a rehearsal with us. Aside from Bill Oddie who is a wonderful, professional actor, we have Fartmoot (Lutheran minister) and Willie Nelson (retired Methodist minister) and my husband, Harry Hill (retired Episcopal minister) who wil read (taped) the Commendation for the read William Dieterle. It is a powerful play and we're pulling out the stops.

Thanks again, we'll be in touch. Sincerely, Katy Hill (director)

Yes, I was interested in participating but wasn't 100% sure. This email has made a few things very clear to me.

Not only do you have Lutherans freely participating in your production but Methodists too. I thought I made it very clear that I can't associate with their abomination of the word. What suprises me most is your blithe acceptance of the situation.

That said, how about dinner next Thursday evening. I'll leave "the wife" at home (if you want...)

I am very sorry if my previous email made you angry. I thought even if my job suddenly happens on Tuesday. Its good to be show up and try to sing even if short time because I like singing and like learning from you. But if that attitude made you unhappy and unpleasant I appologise. It doesn’t mean that attitude is iikagen or something like that. opposite. Its doens’t mean I don’t like you or Morzart, I adore you as an artist and misic professor.

My job is not the same one like other people no businessman or housewife, I have to work on weekends and sometimes at night.And that payment will save my dairy life. But I will do my best from now on and if you let me, I will embrace you when I meet you next time.

I also notice that you have some vaguely related work experience in Darlington. Please advise on which chip shop is the most gourmet in this area please as I have a son who frequents the public houses in this area.

Once I have received these answers we can proceed to the next stage. Please dont be disconcerted by a delay in response as I am very busy at the moment, dealing with more important issues.
