Media Arts Programs
A major in media arts prepares students for careers in a variety of media-related fields including journalism, broadcasting, video, film and web production, public relations; and advertising. The department emphasizes theoretical and social aspects of the media as well as the creative and technical components.
Students in the media arts may major in one of four areas: journalism, film & video production, integrated media, or general media studies. All of these majors can also serve as minors for students wishing to major in another academic discipline with the exception of film & video. There is a film studies minor for "film buffs" who are not interested in learning production. All of our major/minor programs have a strong theory-to-practice design that challenges students to apply their knowledge through the creation of individual and group projects.
All media arts students are encouraged to participate in the student-managed media outlets at Pacific, including the student newspaper, The Index; KPUR, the campus radio station; and Pacific Productions, the student video production group. Many media arts students get professional experience in their chosen field of study by doing internships with local organizations.

By BRAD KELLAR
Herald-Banner Staff
More than 20 members of area law enforcement participated in a tactical training exercise from approximately 4 – 9 p.m., Monday, August 26, 2013 at the Hunt County Courthouse.
The training scenario was that of a barricaded hostage situation within the courthouse and required participating officers to adapt their procedures and responses to the particular location and evolving situation.
"We've got a tenured group of officers working in the department and they are very capable of handling any situation," said Lieutenant William Cole, Patrol Division Commander. "The goal of tactical exercises like this is to provide them with situations that require them to adapt to different locations and peripherals to help them think on their feet and be aware that no two situations will be alike. The courthouse is just one of a variety of locations I would like to use for this type of training exercise."
The individuals participating in the training exercise came primarily from the Greenville Police Department's ERT Tactical and Crisis Intervention Unit. Other agencies participating included Greenville Police Department Special Operations, Hunt County Sheriff's Office, McKinney Police Department, Hunt County District Attorney's Office and Citizens on Patrol.
Judge Steve Tittle participated in the training, playing the role of the judge in the barricaded courtroom.
"It is important to remind ourselves of the threats our society faces and the preparation that law enforcement must make on a daily basis to counter those threats," said Tittle. "I want to thank all of those who participated in the training exercise for the 196th District Court, especially the Critical Incident and Tactical Units of the Greenville Police Department. I also want to extend special thanks to Lt. Will Cole, Sgt. Dan Cooper and Officer James Hamilton for coordinating this event. I greatly appreciate your service and willingness to protect our community."
Further training exercises of this nature are being planned in other locations.
"With the society we live in, situations like these are an ever-looming threat," said Cole. "We want our officers to be prepared and to be able to respond effectively to any situation they might face."

Parmy Olson, Forbes Staff
I cover agitators and innovators in mobile.
2012 is shaping up to be the year when the glow surrounding Apple's mobile products suddenly got dimmer – first from the technology press, now from a survey. According to recent research by Boston, Mass.-based Strategy Analytics, fewer people who own iPhones are planning to replace them with newer models from Apple, marking the first decline since Apple released the iPhone in 2007.
In Western Europe, just 75% of users will buy their next phone from Apple, down from 88% in 2011, while the proportion among American users has slipped to 88%, from 93%, according to the research.
Whither the fall in loyalty? If you've been following Apple headlines for a while, you'll know. Strategy Analytics director Paul Brown blames "negative press" surrounding Apple in the last year, but also a "perceived lack of recent innovation" from the company.
The two are tied together. Apple, the company that was the first to bring touch screen phones and tablets to mass market, has been iterating rather innovating in recent years, for example making relatively incremental changes on size and form factor with the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini. As a result, the media's reaction to the release of the iPhone 5 was more skeptical than it had been towards the iPhone 4, with Wired's Mat Honan summing things up well by calling the latest phone, "Completely Amazing and Utterly Boring."
The iPhones incremental evolution partly reflects obligation to a product range held in such high regard, that Apple's management are afraid to tinker with it too much. After all, public sales figures suggest they're doing just fine: Apple today announced it had sold 3 million iPad Minis and iPad 4s since Friday, and CEO Tim Cook said "demand for the iPad Mini exceeded the initial supply."
But Cook knows Apple needs to innovate, and in 2012 he increased the company's spending on research and development (which is famously lower than that spent by Google, at $5.2 billion, and Microsoft, at $9.8 billion) by almost $1 billion, to $3.4 billion, according to Apple's latest 10K filing.
Cook also made bold moves last week, announcing the resignation of mobile software head Tim Forstall, and giving more responsibility to Apple's lead industrial designer Jonathan Ive. He needs to avoid falling into the same, trap that engulfed Nokia, a company that became too comfortable with its worldwide success and neglected the need to innovate ahead of rival smartphone makers.
For Nokia, that had meant Apple. For Apple, that now means Samsung and other device makers that cater to the Android operating system. And with that comes another set of concerning statistics for Apple: in the 12 weeks to Sept. 30, 2012, Android's market share across Europe grew to 67%, from 51% last year, according to the latest Kantar Woldpanel Comtech report.
Related on Forbes:
There are a lot of folks that have bought Apple because it is 'the best designed' product out there. No doubt. But for the people that really extensively use Apple's products, there simply is nothing comparable. Over time this will provide Apple a strategic advantage against competitors. As far as your last sentence, it is obvious you have never 'used' an Apple product before. Please do, you will be pleased. Cheers…
Yet another anti apple article. When you are number one in the tech world there are always some who want to prove you wrong and knock you down. That is the way it has always been. It really doesn't matter because the products speak for themselves. The few people who don't already own a iphone are just waiting in the wings to get one of the older models when their current cell phone contract expires. I find it hard to find any fault with a company who continues to make huge amounts money hand over fist from quality products that most everyone wants and feels they need. There is always other products out there who compete. They might cost less , but everyone knows who makes the best.
You sure are a delusional fan boy aren't you. You think everyone who doesnt own an iphone is just waiting to buy one? I upgrade my phone every single year (meaning I have to pay full pop, no discount) and yet you'll never catch me walking around with an iProduct. My current phone? SIII. All the patent battles and fanboyism in the world wont make the iPhone a better phone. SIII had everything the iPhone 5 had well before it was released. Hell the SII had everything the iPhone 5 had over a year ago. Add that to the fact that I can actually swap out my battery if I want to carry a longer charge with me, that I can add memory and that I'm not required to install iTunes just to set up my frickin phone and it just boils down to better. Trying to paint all other products as ones that cheap people buy because they can't afford your precious iphone is pathetic. Not everyone drinks the koolaid.
I don't own an iPhone…..nor does my husband. Nor will we.
Don't care if I can get an iPhone 4 for 99 cents.
I prefer the Android OS, and the Samsung Galaxy S (my husband has the newest Galaxy). To me, and how I use my phone, the Android system is superior.
Just an anecdotal story….my mother has the iPhone, she was at my house. At my house, she was in network, I was roaming. We were going through the respective app stores…..by the time she had finished downloading and installing one app, I had 20 apps in que (and had installed 5). Android could download and install multiple apps at a time…..While she was downloading the one app, she couldn't browse the store or do much else with her iPhone. While I had 20 apps downloading and installing I took pictures, made a call, surfed the internet, listened to some music, opened a PDF, sent text messages, browsed the music store and the app store, and purchased an album.
Might not mean much since my mother isn't the tech savviest person around (nor am I), but how much faster my phone was than hers, and how my phone was able to multi-task sold me on Android over iOS. (Plus, I've been on a phone call before, sent a text to someone else, and searched the internet, AND used Google maps to find the location that we were discussing over the phone all at the same time.)
I also like that the cords from my old phones will work with my new phone, and that my husband's new Galaxy cords will work with my older model Galaxy….no need to keep buying new plug-in accessories every model. Or that when I'm in the field, I can share cords with my co-worker who has an old Samsung non-smart phone flip phone…just in case one of us forgets a USB cable for charging….
Plus I'm just naturally biased against any personality cult….which is what Apple fans were toward Steve Jobs. Makes me instantly suspicious.
I'm perfectly happy with my non-iPhone smartphone. I wouldn't drop a dime on an at-best average smartphone in the iPhone. You do realize that the majority of the smartphones purchased are Androids…I guarantee you that a very small percentage of those people are just "waiting in the wings" to get an iPhone.
I'm sorry your relevancy has been reduced by this article. Does it suck to know you bought an item fewer and fewer people find necessary?
I don' think this is another anti-apple article, is just pointing the facts, have you seen the stocks? they dropped from a 705 high to 582 and dropping.
There are not a few out there waiting to get an iPhone, I'd say there are none, have you read the news?, where Android phones oversell iPhones? and there are more Android phones out there than iPhones? Did you know that the S3 is still better phone that the iPhone 5 (hardware wise)?? Did you know that many of the features you get on iOS are old features available to Android users? like the notification bar? like the SMS when you can't pick up the phone? and these are just 2 examples of many many more. Did you know that Siri was an enhanced copy of Google Voice Search? they just added voice to the results, that was before, now with Google Now, Siri just looks obsolete and slow (just do a search on youtube "Siri vs Jellybean").
If the company is making money is because the overpriced phones they sell vs the actual cost they pay and the actual features they give, you get and iPhone 5 with a 1.2Ghz processor, while you get and S3 with a 1.5Ghz for example, the late one is more expensive to manufacture, so the other companies sacrifice profit to offer a better product, while Apple doesn't, juts look at the iPad Mini fiasco, the same outdated and obsolete hardware from the iPad 2, when the 4th generation iPad is about to come out, hardware 2 generations old already, and you're paying almost twice of what you will pay for a better mini tablet, like the Kindle Fire HD or the Galaxy 7.
iOS hasn't evolved in many years, they have only patched it, from being a revolutionary operating system it's becoming obsolete and boring very fast compared to how fast Android is evolving to become more dynamic, friendly and faster than iOS, Android to become Ice Cream Sandwich (v 4.0) was rewritten from scratch, to take the best of the older versions and create a brand new operating system, more clean and friendly for developers and the users.
SO you tell me, why should I change from Android to iPhone, I find no reasons to do it
You are one iHater peeping from the fanriod hole? Aren't you?
I Would Venture to Bet that 25% of the claimed CrApple Gadget Sales are Freebees written off by CrApple PR as iPhony's, iFads and Macs sent FREE to TV shows, Movies as product Placements and all the BRIBES and Payola to Press and Media Hacks like those at Forbes to write as many Puff Pieces about CrApple. I am in the media and I KNOW that this goes on!
Apple's products have been innovative and elegant with seamless integration with its own products and those that have been built to support it. However, the passionate following Apple has enjoyed these last 5 years was also, in large part, due to its culture and visionary leader, Steve Jobs. I have been an Apple fan for years, but have been watching to see how Steve's passing would change the smartphone/tablet/computer game. I have observed, as the rest of the world has, that Samsung has stepped up their game, windows making some big changes and Apple….well……definitely seeing cracks in the armour. I am not saying anything new here, just pointing out the fact that in the cycle of great businesses there are just that….cycles. Apple has entered the "post Steve Jobs' era and I am confident will cycle back to regain ground it has lost or will lose in the short future. They certainly cycled after Steve was booted in the 90′s. When he returned, they cycled around on top again. Now it's Samsung and other Apple competitor's chance to strut the stuff they've been working on because I think Apple's stumble is making otherwise die hard fans, willing to take a look around at what is out there.

Another local high school wants to form a swimming and diving program.
One question.
Where would it practice?
Southeast Whitfield athletic director Mark Lentych said Tuesday the school is in "the infant stages" of creating a swimming and diving program. There are three other high schools in Whitfield County with the sport — Dalton, Coahulla Creek and Northwest Whitfield — and all three use the Dalton High pool for practices.
However, with no other known available indoor pool in the immediate area, it may be the only option.
That's assuming there's enough room to accommodate another team.
Wheels in motion
Lentych plans to have Raiders and Lady Raiders swimming and diving teams for the 2013-2014 season, which begins in December.
The Southeast program already has a coach, too. Lentych said Carol Clayton approached him about forming a Southeast team last school year, when Clayton worked in the school's media center. She has since become a teacher and the planned coach. Clayton's background in the sport includes swimming for 13 years, including on the University of the Cumberlands team in Williamsburg, Ky. Originally from Chattanooga, she has experience coaching two recreation teams, the Towne Lake Sharks in Woodstock the last four years and the Bartow County Cartersville Cobias the past two years.
"I've always wanted to coach a team, especially one in Dalton," Clayton said. "Southeast is the only high school in the county that doesn't have a team, and I felt our kids should have the same opportunities as the other schools."
Morris Innovative High School does not have a swimming or diving team either.
When Clayton approached Lentych about the idea, he wanted to gauge the students' interest level.
"She did and made an announcement to hold a meeting and see who'd be interested," Lentych said. "There was a pretty good interest, but you never really know from that what real interest would be."
Kara Ratcliffe, an rising junior at Southeast, swims on the Makos and Dalton Dolphins, two Carpet Capital Aquatics Club programs. She was at the interest meeting held last spring and said "the whole library was filled" with students.
"It was just talking about and telling all the kids everything that would happen," Ratcliffe said of the meeting. "It was basic information and how much equipment would cost like swimming suits. ... I'm really excited about it."
Clayton estimated "around 80" students showed up but explained it's tough to know how many are really interested until practice begins.
"I'm hoping we get 10 swimmers for next season," Clayton added.
The biggest question mark remaining is where the Southeast teams will practice.
"We're still working on that aspect," Lentych said.
Said Ratcliffe, "I guess it would be great if Whitfield County had a pool, but I'm just happy we have a team, so I will take anywhere."
The limited space wasn't kept secret at Southeast's swimming interest meeting, Ratcliffe said. Those at the meeting were told Dalton High's pool, the only one known to be available, "will be very crowded." Ratcliffe knows this from first-hand experience, since she practiced there with the Makos.
"Coach Clayton was saying we probably would practice only once or twice a week," Ratcliffe said. "To be honest, it will be really hard to become a really good team with that limited amount of space or time. But we really need more time and more space, but she said she would try her best. Southeast, if we were to swim, we'd be considered the lowest priority to get into the pool, because everyone else has been doing it. So it'd be Dalton High, then Dalton Middle, then the CCAC, then Northwest, then Calhoun, then Coahulla Creek, then us."
Ratcliffe said her solution also includes building a new facility for her Southeast team, plus the Coahulla Creek and Northwest programs.
"If I had an infinite amount of money, I'd build another pool that could be for all the (Whitfield County) teams," she said.

Getting a song to hit in the summer can change a career -- just ask Katy Perry or Robin Thicke.
Before the reign of "I Kissed a Girl" in the summer of 2008, Perry had been tirelessly striving to create a name for herself in the music industry and was starting to find some long-sought success with her debut single, "Ur So Gay."
But right around Independence Day 2008 -- which reminds us to make the most of what's left of the season -- Perry's loud and bold "I Kissed a Girl" pushed through to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 and refused to let go for seven weeks. That single gave Perry an entree as pop's newest princess.
As for Thicke? He'll tell you himself that his 2013 single with Pharrell Williams and T.I., the controversial "Blurred Lines," ushered in a new era, creating the kind of success of which most artists can only dream.
Thicke had been working as a singer and songwriter for years when "Blurred Lines" arrived in the spring of 2013. But after that song was played at every pool party, barbecue, nightclub and wedding reception -- topping the Billboard 100 in late June and staying there until September -- Thicke became a global pop star.
Having the song of the summer doesn't always translate into album sales later. Thicke's latest release, the lovelorn "Paula," has performed dismally. But it is a fast and easy way to gain notoriety, even if it only lasts for the season.
So who's going to claim the title for 2014?
The obvious answer is Iggy Azalea, the Australian rapper who's swiftly gaining fame as the rapper on the Charli XCX-assisted "Fancy" and Ariana Grande's "Problem."
But Iggy Igg, as she's known to her fans, has some competition. Including "Fancy," here are the 10 tracks poised to be the staple song of summer:
'Fancy,' Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX
The combination of Iggy Azalea's flow with Charli XCX's cocky singing on the hook has made "Fancy" as irresistible as running through sprinklers on a hot day. You think you might be too old for it, but why not? It's fun! Cute lyrics, easy to sing along to and upbeat enough to spin at a party, it's little wonder that this release from Azalea's "The New Classic" album has been No. 1 on the Billboard 100 since June 7.
'Summer,' Calvin Harris
The Scottish DJ/producer/singer/songwriter has captured exactly what a summer song needs to be with this seasonally appropriate single. With wistful lyrics about a warm weather romance and a pulsing beat, Harris' single is an easy favorite.
'Rude,' Magic!
Canadian reggae fusion band Magic! has crooned its way almost to No. 1 with its single "Rude." The song arrived last fall, but it wasn't until beach season that "Rude" really took off in the States. Ridiculously catchy, it comes complete with a heartfelt backstory that makes it applicable to this season of makeups and breakups.
'Wiggle,' Jason Derulo ft. Snoop Dogg
Is Jason Derulo's ode to the rear end a little silly? Sure. But that's also what makes it perfect for summer. With a hypnotic beat and an artist-supplied dance move, "Wiggle" is made for carefree nights. Not even Zac Efron could resist "Wiggle-ing" while on vacation.
'Ain't It Fun,' Paramore
This rock group's fourth album has been a wellspring of hits, with 2013's popular "Still Into You" being followed by the light-hearted "Ain't It Fun," a bouncy track that lives up to its title. Paramore's Hayley Williams says the making of the single was as breezy as the song itself.
'Problem,' Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea
Ariana Grande hasn't had any problems climbing the charts with this horn-heavy dismissal of an unnecessary love. Funky and featuring the rapper du jour, Iggy Azalea, "Problem" is nipping at the heels of "Fancy" to be the top choice of summer 2014.
'Stay With Me,' Sam Smith
In case you missed our very detailed memo, this is Sam Smith's year. The British soul singer has released his debut solo album and has gifted us all with the kind of song that'll be sung at karaoke for months to come. It isn't as danceable as Smith's work with Disclosure, the still-hot "Latch," but it is memorable and affecting.
'Turn Down for What,' DJ Snake and Lil Jon
Since its release last year, DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down for What" has become the go-to party anthem for anyone wanting to turn up their night. It worked just fine when it was cold and darkness fell early, but "Turn Down for What" demands listening when it's 8 p.m., the sun is still bright, and your day's just getting started.

Storytelling in the Philippines
Last week, our Amway affiliate in the Philippines held a storytelling event with 280 first grade students. Here's the link to a write-up in the Manila Bulletin:
Low literacy is a severe issue in the Philippines. Using storytelling as an innovative approach to making reading fun, Amway Philippines is reaching out through a series of roadshows in elementary schools near Amway Distributor Centers.
A typical two-day road show features a storytelling workshop for teachers and Amway IBOs and employees on the first day, and a "learning festival" on the second day.
In total, these road shows will reach 7,000 children across the Philippines.

David's wife is dead. At least, he thinks she's dead. But he can't figure out what killed her or why she had to die, and his efforts to sort out what's happened have been interrupted by his discovery of a series of elaborate and escalating threats hidden in strange places around his home—one buried in the sugar bag, another carved into the side of his television. These disturbing threats may be the best clues to his wife's death:
Detective Chico is also on the case, and is intent on asking David questions he doesn't know the answers to and introducing him to people who don't appear to have David's or his wife's best interests in mind. With no one to trust, David is forced to rely on his own memories and faculties—but they too are proving unreliable.

"Amelia Gray is a sharpshooter, precise and deadly. THREATS lures the reader with its poetic sensibilities and then subverts every expectation. Before long, there will be statues of Gray in various corners of the literary world." —Emma Straub, author of Other People We Married
"Reading Amelia Gray is like a pyramid of rocks being built on a cloud. That's to say, it's something fantastical, dreamlike, playful, and very dangerous. You will be amazed at what this writer can do." —Shane Jones, author of Light Boxes
"The first time I encountered Amelia Gray's fiction, it slugged me in the jaw. The second time too, and the third. Said jaw-slugging has ensued nearly every time I've read something of hers, except for when instead it whispered sad and surprising but undeniable truths about the difficulty of intimacy and sense in the wretched blastoscape of modern life. And then it made me a grilled cheese sandwich to prove that the world can be a kind place, and it waited until I had sated myself and wiped away the crumbs before slugging me in the jaw again." —Doug Dorst, author of The Surf Guru and Alive in Necropolis

Dalton High School's football team had too many self-inflicted wounds in Friday's 33-27 loss to Ringgold. But the biggest lingering issue may be with the Catamounts blocking on special teams.
The Tigers blocked three Dalton kicks — two field goals and one punt — in the triple-overtime, season-opening contest.
The first field goal block came with 4:52 left in the first half. With Ringgold ahead 7-0, running back and linebacker D.L. Goins — who played half the 2012 season at Dalton before transferring to Ringgold — blocked a 26-yard try from Kiko Rodriguez.
In the fourth quarter, the Cats led 14-7 and had a three-and-out possession backed up against their own end zone. Eder Mora's punt from the goal line was blocked by lineman Ryan Emmer, but still traveled 22 yards to the Dalton 32 yard line. The Tigers only needed four plays to tie the game 14-14.
"It's a situation we have looked at," Cats coach Matt Land said. "You've got a guy timing the snap, first off. You've got a guy running and jumping over the line. What they were doing is powering down with our big guys and we weren't getting the push we needed to eliminate players from getting in the gap right there and we felt we corrected it a couple times and they kept finding a way to get through."
In the second overtime, after a Dalton touchdown, Rodriguez's extra-point try was blocked, leaving the Cats in a dangerous predicament with a 27-21 lead and the Tigers getting the ball. However, after a Ringgold score, kicker Chris Watts' try was too low and blocked by a Dalton lineman, keeping the score tied.
If Rodriguez's kick wasn't blocked and went through the posts, Dalton could've won 28-27. That aside, the blocks on field goals still left four points off the board, and the blocked punt gave Ringgold a short field for the game-tying touchdown in regulation.
• Flags in bunches: The Catamounts didn't have more penalties than Ringgold, but it certainly seemed like it. That's because the Dalton's infractions kept coming in bunches.
Dalton had two drives with multiple pre-snap penalties in Ringgold territory. At the beginning of the third quarter, and after quarterback Payton Veraldi's 41-yard pass to freshman wide receiver Zek Cobb, the Cats had two consecutive illegal procedure penalties, and another one after the next play. Dalton still scored on the drive thanks to Veraldi's 26-yard run.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Dalton had an illegal procedure penalty to begin a drive at its own 37, and one following a Jase Chastain incompletion. The Cats didn't recover from the second-and-20 situation, and punted two plays later.
"I don't think you lose a game by one play," Land said. "I do think you have to look back and realize any time you have that many penalties — we may have had less penalty yards — you just can't penalize yourself that much. I don't particularly like penalties, (but I also don't like) turnovers."
Ringgold had 11 penalties for 70 yards, while Dalton had eight for 45.
• Kelvis who?: Just kidding. You don't forget someone who rushed for more than 1,500 yards last year as a sophomore, which is what Kelvis Rhodes did. However, Rhodes was injured and did not dress to play Friday, a hot topic during the week leading to the game.
But fill-in Tyler Noland, this year's sophomore ball carrier, did quite well. He rushed for 125 yards on 16 carries, but never found the end zone. His yardage total would've been higher — and the winner possibly different — had a 70-yard run in the fourth quarter not been reduced to a 42-yard run because of an illegal block in the back.
"Tyler is a guy who gives you 100 percent regardless whether you're in a game, at practice or working out," Land said. "We know what we get with Tyler. He is a young guy who will get a lot of playing time this year. I'm excited to watch him and really happy for his success. He's a guy we're going to have to continue getting on the field and have him mature through the year."
Noland left the game in the first overtime with an injury to his left side after he was crumpled under by a pile of Ringgold defenders on a 2-yard loss, but he finished with the biggest workload.
"It was my first high school game," Noland said. "I wasn't nervous. I was just loose and ready to go."
The question now is, will Rhodes play in two weeks when Dalton heads to face Calhoun? Or will the Dalton fans see more of Noland?
• No more slingin': Radio announcers from Ringgold nicknamed the Tigers' standout quarterback "Slingin'" Slade Dale.
Maybe he should be renamed "Slippery" or "Shifty," because he didn't do a whole lot of slingin' Friday, but slipped and shifted his way to 225 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 35 carries.
Dale, who committed to play baseball at the University of Georgia, completed just 5 of 14 passes for 63 yards. He didn't throw any touchdowns, and Dalton cornerback Jordon McKinney intercepted him twice.
To his credit, Dale was going against an experienced Dalton secondary and linebacker group. Mora (safety), Nathan Bryant (safety) and Chris Childs (cornerback) all started last season. At linebacker, Lyle Durham and Jay Rockholt also started last season, and Elijah Stidmon shared starter time with Devonte Davis, another returner at linebacker.
"That surprised us," Land said. "We thought he'd be a little more effective throwing the ball, but our defensive secondary played outstanding. We've had a lot of missed time out of Eder and Nathan, but they got cohesive and played very well. Like I said, (Dale) has the ability to beat us with his arm or beat us with his legs. Since we took away his arm, he beat us with his legs."

---- — Everybody, from the governor on down, seems to be upset with the state's utilities, citing poor performance in the wake of Sandy's marauding through the Northeast. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has even threatened to revoke the monopolistic franchise for the power companies as thousands remained without power in the middle of last week, while facing the threat of a second potent storm.
It seems difficult to assess whatever successes or failures are due to the utility companies. Certainly, the utilities are not slothful. They began assailing the problem of lost power the minute hurricane winds, floods and clogged roadways allowed.
But, days after the storm, Cuomo was distressed that 400,000 New Yorkers still had not had their power restored. Exacerbating the problem was a sudden drop in temperatures into the low 20s, in places, and the arrival of a nor'easter that posed the prospect of not only interrupting ongoing work but undoing some that had already been completed.
The North Country was spared Sandy's venom, but we are not without empathy. Anyone who was around in 1998 can remember the Ice Storm that year and the havoc it imposed. Februarys in this frigid region are no time to be bereft of electricity.
Friends, neighbors, relatives and rescue workers in 1998 reacted as quickly and valiantly as possible to bring life-saving warmth to those without, but it was a terrifying time for many, many people.
Tuesday's Albany Times-Union quoted Cuomo as saying, "These utilities … were not created in the Bible. They aren't in the Old Testament and they aren't in the New Testament. … These are not God-given monopolies."
Harsh words. We can only hope they are the product of frustration born of a problem of monstrous proportions and imposing unavoidable delays in getting to all of those 400,000 customers still left.
It's hard to believe the utilities would have any other priority than restoring power to desperate customers as quickly as the landscape and staffing would allow.
Most of the flailing customers were on Long Island, New York City and Westchester County — not exactly the center of desperation, in most cases.
Cuomo even chided the utilities for providing updates on scheduled work on their websites, since the customers had no power and, presumably, no access to the information.
Rouses Point, Lake Placid, Tupper Lake and Plattsburgh, of course, have their own municipal utility systems and rarely experience long-term power outages. The private utilities in this region — New York State Electric & Gas and National Grid — usually react responsibly and responsively to emergencies of any kind. We have often applauded them not only for their attentiveness but for their bravery under horrible working conditions.
We tip our hat to the governor for making sure all his constituents are attended to as soon as is humanly possible. We hope his remarks are the by-products of impatience and are not truly deserved by these servants of the public.

text: While injuries to high-profile offensive players grabbed most of the headlines during the Colts' bye week, the loss of DT Antonio Johnson, who is out indefinitely after undergoing knee surgery, also could loom large. The Colts have not gotten the same production from the DT position that they did in 2009, and opponents have had success running right at them. Johnson lost his starting job to 2009 second-round pick Fili Moala, but word is he was coming on strong and proving to be a valuable rotational player at a position where the Colts do not have great depth. In Johnson's absence, rookie seventh-rounder Ricardo Mathews will see an increased role. The 6-3, 294-pound Mathews is versatile and has decent triangle numbers, but is likely to struggle early on — he has dressed once in the club's first six games. We hear that veteran DE Keyunta Dawson also will see more work by sliding inside.

'He just didn't want the story told; he wanted it to matter, to make a difference'
Friday, February 13,
By Stevie Lacy-Pendleton
Advance Columnist
There is an African proverb about the string of life, that which ties the God of all to his children. Before the birth of a child, the angels take a strand of faith, the thread of blessings, and with the needle of time, make a line of life. God then makes a loop in the end and attaches one end to his finger, and the other -- invisible -- is tied to the newborn child. As he ages the string grows stronger, never breaking or unraveling or shredding even as the grains of all the yesterdays, todays ebb.
When it is time for the manchild to return, God gently pulls on the string, lovingly freeing his soul from the gravity of human life.
My friend died yesterday. I would like to believe that his leave-taking was a gentle pull. Men like Richard Diamond deserve no less, and so much more if it were in our power to decide, divine.
We weren't always friends, he and I. Real friendships are not instant mashed potatoes, but slow-cooked, left to simmer in mingled juices, with spices added, on low heat. They are delicate weaves of years spent, experiences shared or at least understood, of respect and belief and believing; of all of this friendships, the good ones, are made.
And so it was with ours.
In March 1980, I left Xenia, Ohio, with $1,000 in my purse and a heart full of dreams, heading for the city that was formed out of dust by dreamers, believers.
My second day in the city I had an appointment at the Advance. One handshake later, I had a job as a reporter. Leaving the building, I got my first glimpse of the man who would play the major role in who I am today.
A newspaper is a living thing ... given the breaths of continuous life by the person who holds the seat at the top. It inhales the who, why, what and where, and exhales words and pictures that dance and leap off the pages, stories that grab the eyes and fill the mind with pondering.
It is no happenstance that good newspapers have old-fashioned publishers and editors. Not old as in stale, but old in the tradition of craftsmen of yesterday who took pride in the process of creating and not just satisfaction in completion of the creation.
Mr. Diamond was a craftsman and his brilliance was reflected and reflective. He made those around him want to master the craft, to create, to bring forth real life from the formless, mundane ways of everyday life, and some sort of sanity to the insane acts that scream from headlines.
He just didn't want the story told; he wanted it to matter, to make a difference.
And if I learned nothing else from him, it was that. My father was my first "editor," Richard Diamond a close second.
I took the rungs of the corporate ladder two at a time, going from reporter to columnist in just two years. It was not by accident. I was fortunate to be employed at a newspaper that gave me more than just a paycheck. I cared, and was cared for and about.
My first column caused a stir, and Mr. Diamond knew it would and was ready. We tend to forget -- just as mothers do -- the pain of giving birth, whether to a child or an idea or something new. I honestly don't know whose idea it was for me to write a weekly column, but nothing happened at the Advance without Mr. Diamond's input and approval.
He was a man of principles and was principled. He and my first editor here, the late Les Trautmann, gave me free rein to dish it as I saw it, felt it, and he and Mr. Trautmann, and later Brian Laline, took the full blast of the heat. Their resolve never wavered, their belief never melted under the onslaught. I was controversial, but more important, at least in some minds, I was black.
Mr. Diamond believed, breathed that old newspaper motto: Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
And that is what he wanted me to do.
In 24 years, I have never had a column "killed," even though there were times Mr. Diamond would come to my desk and let me know he disagreed with me on an issue.
My weekly column quickly became twice a week, and the hate mail and nasty phone calls and threats of subscription cancellations grew. Mr. Diamond never said a word, never told me to soften my stand, water down my opinion.
That kind of courage is rare in this business -- newspapers, all newspapers, have a bottom line, especially these days when dailies are folding all over the country.
Not the Advance, and Mr. Diamond proved that -- he was interested in people and what they could offer and add to the mosaic of the Advance family. The color of their skin held no more relevance to him than the hue of their eyes. Yet he was the one who brought to my attention that I am one of the highest-ranking African-American columnists working at a daily paper in this whole city. He was proud of that achievement -- not for himself, but for me. It was not his victory, but mine, and with it, he told me, came responsibility not just to him or the newspaper, but to the Staten Island community and beyond.
I took it seriously. When I leave my home, I represent him and his beloved Advance, and never forget that the children of this community, black and white and brown, look at me and see what they too can be, can do. Each of us who break a barrier, open a door has that responsibility.
Our friendship was based on truth-telling and truth-sharing, so our conversations were not the things of cotton candy, but meat and potatoes. We talked race and politics, soul food, and where to get the best cheeseburger. Childhood memories and collard greens and sweet cornbread vs. plain.
The years passed, and I grew and he applauded, saying once: "You've come a long way. We at the Advance are proud of you."
In the beginning, I banged out my column on a high-tech typewriter. When we went to high-tech computers, I initially didn't like it, and balked. I actually asked him if I could keep my typewriter. "No, you'll get used to it" was the answer.
I did, and over the years from time to time I would ask him for my old typewriter back. He would laugh, but promised that when I retired he would give me one as a present.
In 2001, I came close to death. It took months to recover, with doubts of never being the same, of never writing again, to be overcome. I shared those doubts with Mr. Diamond's wife, Alice, and his daughter, Caroline. The day I walked back into the Advance, he was there. My shaved head was covered with a wig, my step steadied by a cane. I was afraid, and it showed.
He hugged me, and whispered, "Get back to work."
Twenty-four years is a long time to work in one place for the same man. Three years ago, I told him I would never leave the Advance, that it was my home. I also vowed to win him a Pulitzer Prize.
It pains me today that even if I do, he won't be there to say, "Good job."
The late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once wrote: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but those of our friends, and the silence their absence leaves behind."
My friend died yesterday.
The silence is not only deafening; it splinters my heart. A good man is gone.

A Blowing Rock author who died in 1908 has a new book out this fall.
Mary Nelson Carter, author of "Phases of Life Where the Galax Grows" and founder of the original Blowing Rock Lending Library, has had her second book, "A Fox in Paris," published by Infonouveau, an online book publisher.
"A Fox in Paris," an unfinished manuscript at the time of Carter's death, was fleshed out by her great-great-grandson, Perry Vayo.
He finished the text and added illustrations. Carter's story is her fictional retelling of an old folk tale.
"As for how I found the manuscript, it was left to me in an old box of family items that had been stored down in North Carolina for many years, on my great-aunt's farm outside of Chapel Hill," said Vayo, from his home in Rochester, N.Y.
"As I was sifting through all the items, I found an old envelope that had a stack of faded, handwritten pages inside. Those were the beginnings of 'A Fox in Paris,'" he said.
Whereas "Phases of Life Where the Galax Grows" is an historical account of the lives of people living near Blowing Rock between the Civil War and the turn of the century, "A Fox in Paris" is pure fiction aimed at younger readers.
"It is a timeless tale of the triumph of the spirit," said Vayo of "A Fox in Paris." "We have broken some new technical ground with the iPad version of this book, adding animation and interaction that not only enhances the story, but also provides a learning experience, as well. It is truly a great new take on an old bedtime tale."
Mary Nelson Carter
According to Vayo, Mary Nelson Carter was originally from New England, the daughter of a Nantucket merchant shipping captain named John Bunker and an Irish mother.
The family lived first in New York City and then in Fairfield, Conn.
She married Dr. Charles Carter, a doctor in the Union Army, in New York in 1863.
After the Civil War, the Carters relocated to the Philadelphia area, where Charles established a successful medical practice.
The Carters began to make regular forays to the mountains of North Carolina, where they fell in love with Blowing Rock and its inhabitants.
When an epidemic hit the mountain region in the late 1870s, the Carters decided that the doctor's medical skills were needed more in Blowing Rock than in Philadelphia, and the couple moved here full time.
While Charles Carter tended to the sick and injured, Mary Carter worked to improve the literacy rate among her new mountain neighbors.
The Carters lived in Blowing Rock until their deaths, Charles in 1898 and Mary in 1908.
"Mary Carter and her husband are both remembered in Blowing Rock for their contributions to the community," Vayo said. "In Mary's case, it was her long work fighting illiteracy in the region and the establishment of a free library in a building they built right on the lawn beside their house, that secured her place in the town's history.
Her 'Lend-A-Hand Library,' which she started, working with Rev. William Savage, the Episcopal minister in Blowing Rock, slowly grew over the years, until, in 1928, long after her death, it became the Blowing Rock Community and School Library."
The Mary Nelson Carter Memorial Lend-a-Hand Library at one time held more than 1,000 books. Its book borrowing service was "free to mountaineers but visitors pay $1 per season."
A publishing company called McClurg in Chicago first published "Phases of Life Where the Galax Grows" in 1900. The book was part of a series titled "North Carolina Sketches."
Carter based her book on conversations with folks who lived in the hills and hollows around Blowing Rock. Many of the stories feature the women of Appalachia and their remembrances of life during and after the Civil War.
Carter took pictures of her interviewees and several of them now are featured in a newly republished edition of "Phases of Life Where the Galax Grows."
"The area was changing quickly and the old culture was being pushed out by a wave of new residents, and she wanted to record as much as possible before it was gone," Vayo said.
'A Fox in Paris'
Vayo described the storyline of "A Fox in Paris" as: "On a sultry August day in the summer of 1836, a young boy from the countryside of Bordeaux is abandoned to his fate on the streets of Paris, by his unscrupulous cousin.
Far from being the 'City of Light,' for the poor and the homeless, the city can be a dark and dangerous place. For 11-year-old Lucien Lehun this is his new home.
"After the death of Lucien's well-to-do uncle, his cousin takes control of the family estate and decides to rid himself of his new ward, and steal the inheritance left to Lucien. It is this selfish ambition that lands Lucien – frightened, penniless, and alone – on the streets of Paris with only his treasured copy of 'Robinson Crusoe' to call his own.
"As Lucien struggles to survive, it is the lessons learned from his uncle, and the constant companionship of a very special dog that prove more valuable than money. The little dog and the boy become an inseparable team, caring for each other through good times and bad, like Crusoe and Man-Friday, in Lucien's favorite book. By staying true to the values of generosity, charity and optimism, instilled in him by his beloved uncle, they not only survive, but, thrive against all odds."

Adjustable beds are distinguished by their ability to bend and elevate into a variety of positions. Originally developed for hospitals, adjustable beds have long since evolved to bring their lavish benefits into the private home. Today, adjustable beds are available with a wide variety of mattress types, making them a potential enhancement to nearly any style of bed with few, if any, drawbacks. They also becoming known by a variety of other names, such as the "power foundation" or the "positional mattress."
Historically, adjustable beds have been most prevalent among those with back problems or other ailments, such as leg or feet swelling. However, they are now becoming increasingly popular with anyone that enjoys spending "awake time" in their bedrooms (e.g., reading or watching TV). For those with back pain, the choice of an adjustable bed is typically one of personal preference, rather than medical necessity. Many back pain sufferers simply find it more comfortable to sleep in a more upright position (e.g., semi-Fowler position) with their knees slightly elevated, which tends to reduce stress on the lower back. As a general rule, if you are having trouble sleeping on a conventional flat bed, and find it more comfortable to sleep in a reclining chair or other more upright position, then you may want to consider an adjustable bed. On the "flip" side, side and stomach sleepers will generally prefer a conventional flat bed to an adjustable bed.
Adjustable beds, also known as "electric beds" or sometimes "hospital beds," are comprised of two key components: the frame (sometimes referred to as the "base") and the mattress. With adjustable beds, the frame and mattress are often purchased separately, and thus can be thought of as two distinct purchase decisions.
The movement of an adjustable bed is controlled entirely by its frame. When flat, an adjustable bed generally looks like any other bed. But when "articulated" (i.e., bent), an adjustable bed can take on many different positions. An adjustable bed with "two-point articulation" is one that folds in two separate places, dividing the bed into 3 sections — head, foot and middle — each of which can be elevated and/or angled to achieve the desired position. One with a "split" design, also known as "dual adjustment," allows for independent adjustment of each side of the bed. Some beds are only split on the top half, providing a blend of individual comfort and intimacy. Higher-quality adjustable beds are typically electric, operated through a handheld remote control unit, however it is also possible to purchase a base that is manually adjustable. Be aware that most adjustable bed frames will require some assembly once you get them into your home.
Today's adjustable frames offer a variety of additional options for those seeking a more luxurious experience. Higher-end models often tout "whisper quiet" motors (most pertinent with split beds, so as not to awaken your partner with your late-night adjustments), and may even come with a back-up power supply or other fail-safe way to get the bed back to a flat position in the event of a power failure. Likewise, fancier remote controls tend to be cordless, and often feature lighted keypads and programmable settings. "Wall-hugger" models are designed to keep you conveniently aligned with your bedside tables even as you change positions, by shifting the bed backward toward the wall as the head is elevated. Some adjustable beds are even available with massage and/or heating capabilities. Still others offer storage areas underneath the bed. Aesthetically, adjustable bed frames are increasingly being made to look like conventional beds, and in many cases can be attractive and stylish in their own right. That said, certain adjustable bed frames will also work with your existing headboard, footboard and/or side rails. Adjustable beds are generally made in standard sizes (e.g., King, Queen, Full, Twin, etc.), however those featuring dual adjustment will require special sheets sized for a King Split or Queen Split design.
While the frame provides an adjustable bed with its unique features, its mattress is typically still the larger determinant of overall comfort, support and durability. Adjustable beds generally require special mattresses built to handle their characteristic flexing motion. Fortunately, adjustable bed mattresses are commonly available in a wide variety of styles, including innerspring, memory foam, latex, and air, as well as various combinations thereof. Please refer to our respective mattress guides for tips on how to evaluate and choose between each of these various bed types.
It is worth adding that in some cases (particularly with memory foam and latex mattresses), you may be able to use a standard mattress model on an adjustable bed. For more information on which mattress models can be used with an adjustable base, please see the Other Details section of any product model page on GoodBed.com, and look for the note "Works with an adjustable base." That said, we still recommend you check with the manufacturer in advance, to ensure that the use of an adjustable base will not void the warranty or adversely impact the long-term performance of the mattress.
Adjustable bed frames and mattresses can be purchased independently, however they are often sold together as a set. In these cases, the brand often reflects the name of the mattress manufacturer. Although this practice results in adjustable beds being sold under numerous different brands, most higher quality adjustable frames are actually made by a small handful of manufacturers, such as Craftmatic, Electropedic, Ergomotion, Flex-A-Bed, Reverie, and Leggett & Platt. When these products are resold under different brands, they often feature unique designs that distinguish one brand's model from another.

Baylor Also Launches 'Making Meals for Mothers' Fundraising Campaign to Benefit Citymeals-on-Wheels
NEW YORK, May 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Aliyyah Baylor, a third-generation celebrity baker and co-owner of Make My Cake, (makemycake.com) continues to carry on a 30-year family tradition of making mouth-watering Southern-style recipes that she learned while watching her mother and grandmother. Now her culinary expertise has gained the notice of Country Living magazine. Baylor graces the pages of the May issue of Country Living with her idea of a baker's dream kitchen that includes the key ingredients for a high-functioning space.

Baylor went bold with aesthetics of country style. Working closely with interior decorator Leslie Solan and kitchen designer Rebekah Zaveloff, she was able to combine Southern kitchen traditions with a touch of Harlem for a space that feels warm and inviting yet modern.
The kitchen's modern country theme is tied together with white and blue hues, including Villa Ceramic Tiles, Armstrong Cabinets, Kathy Ireland pillows with the centerpiece of the kitchen a BlueStar® 48" RNB with 12" built-in griddle and 6" backguard in a Brilliant Blue, with Copper Trim. BlueStar® cooking products are handcrafted and designed for discerning home chefs who demand restaurant-quality results in their own kitchens. (bluestarcooking.com) The range is complemented by a Prizer Hood® 48" Bonanza in Brilliant Blue, with stainless steel strapping and copper rivets. The hood sets a tone for Aliyyah's kitchen by bringing together a unique combination of fully customizable designs and commercial grade performance. (www.prizerhoods.com)
"After completing the renovations I realized that most of my life memories are tied to kitchens," said Aliyyah, "I grew up watching my grandmother, Ma Smith, whipping up mouth-watering, southern style recipes. Our family's kitchen also severed as the town center where we discussed news of the day and later it became the launching pad for our business."
"I wanted a kitchen that not only felt like home, but would also give me similar results as when I bake in my shop. That's why the cooking equipment was so important to me-I actually love them. The range and hood are gorgeous, and they are true professional equipment for the home," says Aliyyah.
Baylor remembers being 13 years old helping her mother, Joann, bake and sell their now-famous baked goods from their kitchen until overwhelming popular demand forced the family to open two storefront locations and recently a dessert truck. Make My Cake has become a destination and a neighborhood favorite, bringing not only New Yorkers through the doors, but also international followers for their comfort baked goods.
Besides working to deliver a dream kitchen to Country Living, Baylor is also working to give back to those in need. "Family has been the key ingredient in the success of the business as is the customers we serve, that is why Make My Cake will launch a fundraising campaign during the month of May, Making Meals for Mothers, to benefit Citymeals-on-Wheels," announced Baylor. "Making Meals for Mothers' goal is to help Citymeals provide hot, nutritious meals to homebound elderly throughout Upper Manhattan."
The campaign includes fundraising – and fun – events like Champagne and Cupcakes (Tuesday, May 6) and a House Tour/Cooking Demo featuring her Country Living Kitchen located in Hudson Valley, New York (Saturday, May 31).
"All seniors deserve to live a nourished life with independence and dignity," said Aliyyah. "It's startling that 60% of Citymeals recipients are women, 42.5% live below 150% of the federal poverty line, and rely on the home-delivered meal program to meet their basic food needs. It's my hope that Making Meals for Mothers will ensure no senior – whether she is a mother or grandmother – will go hungry," stated Baylor.
Feeding and caring for older New Yorkers since 1981, Citymeals-on-Wheels (citymeals.org) provides a continuous lifeline of nutritious food and human company to the city's homebound elderly. Citymeals works with community-based meal centers to deliver over 2 million weekend, holiday and emergency meals to 18,000 of our frail aged neighbors. Last year, more than 12,000 volunteers provided over 55,000 hours of service.
Citymeals relies on the generosity of sponsors, its Board of Directors, the City of New York and other designated gifts to cover administrative costs. This ensures that 100% of all public donations goes directly to the preparation and delivery of meals.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend. To RSVP for the Champagne and Cupcakes email email@example.com and to make a donation to Citymeals, please visit citymeals.org/makemycake
Suggested donations:
-$25 donation provides meals to 3 frail aged residents of Central Harlem
-$65 donation provides 10 meals to homebound elderly residing in Harlem and Washington Heights

Haha, not surprising. But it and Devotional really are hard to compare, they're very different in intent and execution.

hey jjj, next time I am in MN maybe we should have a 101 party
(this was on BBC 4 last night.)
i was never really a depeche mode fan and i'm not now, but 101 is an incredible movie and makes me understand their appeal. and yeah, as a snapshot of a particular moment in time in the united states it brought a whoooole lot flooding back.
it's impossible not to wonder what's happened to the fans we follow on tour. impossible. i loved how totally open and eager all of them were (except for the creepy jock, obv, though even he seemed to loosen up in the end). i did have a quick google (duh) and the impossibly good looking dude who dyes his hair blonde is now a big kahuna on the burning man scene and has had a few parts in a few movies and tv shows. of the rest it appears there is no record.

I'm not much of Depeche Mode fan and 101 is one of my favorite movies period. Captures being a fan and being in a band so amazingly well. Love it.

"101" is such a great film, underscoring both the power of being a fan and a band on the cusp of giant things. The group is so young and still figuring their way around things. But then you see them perform and how the fans react and it all makes sense. My favorite bit of the film comes at the end, when the band is basking in Rose Bowl adulation, and the management team is in a trailer, doing the math, adding up the mundane minutia of costs, such as replacing damaged portions of the grass field. Just incredible all around, a totally neutral snapshot of an era when you could be selling out stadiums and still exist/subsist somewhat under the radar. I know Pennebaker has often cited it as his favorite, and that really says something.

I just read some DM bio and it was interesting to me how passive they were, aesthetically and everything, in their early years. Like figuring out who they were but muddled by having not very well-aligned people do the figuring out for them and just not being willing to speak up! I think they'd gotten over that hump by the time 101/Music for the Masses was out, enough to have some really gripping confidence and excellent songs. But also still had the exciting potential to grown and change more. I like Violator & everything after but I think 101 is a great document of what is really my favorite era of DM.

I know Pennebaker has often cited it as his favorite, and that really says something.
Rightfully so, I think. All the other ones he did in the sixties/early seventies are all weighted down by the continuing Boomer grip on things so contextually 101 feels fresher, but also it dwells on things the others really don't. And by not making it about The Great Artist Whoever It is it also succeeds as well -- heck, given how everything works, people might be forgiven for thinking that Gahan is the lyricist and Alan Wilder writes the music.
There was a typically dismissive Rolling Stone review when it was released in early 1989 going on about the band being anonymous cyborgs and not caring about the featured teens, along with wondering how Pennebaker could have stooped to this. Talk about not getting it.

Yes to both of that. In the 101 DVD bonus clip talking with him, there's a brief shot of a feature story or review of him done by Simon Reynolds, which I always thought was amusing.

that whole conversation between the jock and the girl who was studying to be a fashion designer brought back a lot of memories. a lot of time was spent in those days differentiating between what was REAL and what was SUPERFICIAL and FAKE. the visual punchline to that conversation was absolutely priceless - after this long, incoherent rant to these (incredibly appealing) girls about how fashion is FAKE and not "art", which is REAL (QED), talking over them the whole time and totally ignoring what they're saying, they finally get a word in edgewise: "so what are YOU wearing? what's that?" "cut off jeans! i've been wearing cut off jeans for 15 years!" and he turns and walks away and you see the cut-offs, which reach his knees and are actually CUFFED there, probably the doofiest possible legwear imaginable, and the girls just crack up
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 13 February 2012 16:26 (2 years ago) Permalink
What was that last line to the camera, "He knows nothing about fashion, right?" Something like that.
I keep going on about the DVD version -- trust me, it's great -- but the commentary gets some priceless moments in; it's Pennebaker and his partner, whose name I am sadly forgetting, talking with each of the three current members as stitched together from separate sessions, and when they get to that part they're loving the whole debate for pretty much all the reasons you just specified! Except maybe the jeans part, can't recall.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 13 February 2012 16:32 (2 years ago) Permalink
haha i will have to get the DVD! i mean all else aside it is just a leeetle ironic that the jock has such a profound attachment to his idea that visual style is utterly worthless while at the same time his favorite band is..... depeche mode.

If I had been voting in this poll at the time it would have been a very very tough choice between 101 and Devotional. Touring The Angel is my favourite of the post-Wilder tourfilms (Great setlist, love the stage design), whereas I've always found One Night In Paris a bit on the dull side, not just because the setlist is (at it obviously would be) a bit 'Exciter'-heavy (an album I've never really liked), but the way it's filmed makes the shows seem really bland. I went to one of the 'Exciter' shows in the UK and my dad went to the shows in Paris, and both of us felt the same way about the film.
To put it simply, One Night In Paris doesn't make me want to BE there. Whereas when I watch 101, Devotional or Touring The Angel, they make me kick myself that I wasn't able to attend.

Showed 101 for a friend last night who had never seen it and has been a Depeche fan for years. I still can't believe the amount of people who you'd think would have seen it by now but still haven't LIKE DJP AND JJJ FOR INSTANCE but anyway. Anyway, still fantastic, will never not be.

ROI stands for Return on Investment. Period.

The micro-level, the macro-level, the integrated level, the campaign level, the program level, the whatnot level: anything goes. Let's talk about social media ROI from the Marketing ROI perspective. Because, in fact Marketing ROI or ROMI (Return on Marketing Investment), is not something new.

Social Media Marketing Metrics Explained
In his book 'Social Media Metrics', Jim Sterne provides an excellent overview of a topic that is still debated every single day: how to measure the impact of social media marketing on your business. An introduction to social media marketing metrics. Social media marketing is an umbrella term that covers many underlying forms of marketing. Measuring can be easy if you limit it to one or a few channels. However, vanity metrics are not enough and, although everyone talks Big Data, measuring should really be about data that matter. And by definition that means a single customer view. Measuring is a cross-channel, integrated, touchpoint-oriented, behavior-driven and customer-centric process that looks at the customer (buying journey) and overall value of marketing programs, starting from the individual campaigns and programs but striving towards an overall picture of marketing as a whole. And of course it's not only about measuring or dashboards (the picture): it's about people, … [Read more...]
Jim Sterne: Social Media KPIs Depend on the Individual Organization and Goals
A while ago I talked with Jim Sterne about his latest book Social Media Metrics, a must for everyone that wants to have a measured and valuable social media marketing approach. Read Jim's thoughts on social media KPIs and metrics. In a short interview I asked Jim what metrics and KPIs marketers should take into account regarding social media marketing. But I also wanted to know what he thought about all these new metrics and KPIs we are introducing all the time when it comes down to social media. What can be measured and what can't? This is what Jim answered: "Social media KPIs are all dependent on the individual organization and its goals. But generally, we are looking at 'impressions' or reach. How many people had the opportunity to see the message? Next, we want to track influence to see whom we should be catering to and making sure we treat them well. Then, there's the question of sentiment - something we may never be able to monitor technically - to help us get a handle on … [Read more...]

HOUSTON -- Two men are accused of using pepper spray on a man and then attempting to steal his rims, police said.
Tristan Wilson said he was filling up his car at a gas station around 10 a.m. when two men walked up, wanting to buy a set of fancy rims that he had in his trunk.
They are original rims from a 1983 Cadillac. They're popular, which is exactly why Wilson had them in his trunk.
"I mean I got kids and people been dying over these. So, I been wanting to sell them. My wife don't like them anyway," he said.
So, he agreed to sell them. He said his buyers claimed to have cash from early tax returns. But, they insisted the deal be done out of sight behind a motel along the North Freeway.
Although he was skeptical, Wilson agreed because one of the men wore his a T-shirt from his college.
When they drove to the motel to make the deal, instead of money, Wilson said the men pulled out pepper spray and then attacked.
"I never thought it would happen to me. You know, I didn't think it would happen to me. I know now," he said. "When he swung he missed. After he missed, I closed my trunk and he sprayed me and I just started screaming," Wilson said.
The men got away, but they did not get the rims.
"Right now, I just feel blessed that I didn't get shot, stabbed, nothing like that, just a few scrapes and burns," he said.
