Buy/sell Judgement Of Music Shouldn

Where can I buy Emile Pandolfi sheet music?

My colleague Malcolm's point's well made (from Mr Pandolfi's own website):

"Emile Pandolfi, is recognized as one of the premier pop pianists today."

But had he looked, he would also have been able to answer your Q, in pursuit of charity, which is that what 'sheetmusic' is about, is resoundingly bootleg, and it would seem that he hasn't been legitimately published in sheetmusic form as yet. No mention of it on Mr Pandolfi's website either. And it's not shy of mentioning things for sale... :-)

However, for better or worse, Mr Pandolfi also seems to have a Chopin album out, so perhaps all is not as it seems at surface level, yet again, as regards the talents, or otherwise, of Mr Pandolfi, and blindly asserting "not a classical musician" might therefore be a tad unwise:

(I'm not going anywhere near whether he's a good one. Never heard him, nor of him until this, now.)

For better or worse, once more, before rash judgements at the surface make for omelettes' worth of egg on visages, let us look before we leap? ;-)

Bottom line, it seems you can't buy it anywhere, for it's not published, but all power to your elbow for first off asking for a place to buy! Very refreshing. I can't find anything to give you that which would solve your quest, I regret to say. Try asking at his own website perhaps?

All the best,

{KRHH} Buy Or Sell, people who mock AAVE (Ebonics) are probably racist?

I'm pretty sure I've had a question in a similar vein before, but this ones illustrated a bit more clearly.

Now, many of us are aware of the negativity surrounding AAVE and the view that it is lazy or broken English. People also mock AAVE whilst associating it with Hip-Hop fans, since it is a generalization that all Hip-Hop fans speak in "Ebonics", as do those dumb thug rappers.

While the idea of AAVE is, to be honest, a weird thing, mainly because some argue that it could be considered completely separate from the English language, which is insane, but I digress. The point is, it's a distinctly different, but non-inferior way of speaking/writing. It is a variation that should be appreciated for it's cultural influence, distinct pattern and overall influence on the English language in general. 

But, unfortunately, like many things in America, since it is different from the standard or norm, it is considered inferior and is associated with ignorance. If you drop g's from words endin' in ing, you are judged to be, essentially, a moron. 

AAVE stands for African American Vernacular English. As the name would suggest, it is prominently used by African Americans. It is considered to be a lesser form of speech/writing than the typical, White Americans form of speech/writing. Now, what I want to say, has already been said, far more eloquently than I ever could have put it, so I'll end this with a note from the CCCC (when referring to their students).

"We affirm the students' right to their own patterns and varieties of language—the dialects of their nurture or whatever dialects in which they find their own identity and style. Language scholars long ago denied that the myth of a standard American dialect has any validity. The claim that any one dialect is unacceptable amounts to an attempt of one social group to exert its dominance over another. Such a claim leads to false advice for speakers and writers and immoral advice for humans. A nation proud of its diverse heritage and its cultural and racial variety will preserve its heritage of dialects. We affirm strongly that teachers must have the experiences and training that will enable them to respect diversity and uphold the right of students to their own language."

Can you return a game for full price?

Due to copyright laws, any store that sells you media such as games, movies or music cannot accept an open return- especially for resale. It's also contingent on the specific store policy. I've worked at a Gamestop and Walmart, and the only time we could ever provide a refund is if the item is either unopened and still in original packaging with a receipt or if you attempt to return a damaged copy and they DON'T have an exact replacement. Even that is discretionary because they can send you to another store that has it, if it's defective of course.

Your best bet is to buy used games and sell them when you're done (which will be for much less than you paid for...) or sign up for one of those sites like Gamefly.com where you can "rent" them for as long as you want. I think Redbox even rents games now.
