Free Film Series at the Clark Surveys Boldini's Paris
For Immediate Release
March 04, 2010
Giovanni Boldini made a name for himself painting portraits of the fashionable high society of Belle Époque France. The free films series "Portraits of Society: Films of Boldini's Paris" looks at the styles of dress and décor, as well as the passions and decorum of that particular class, time, and place. Films are screened on Saturdays at 2 pm at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute.
Gigi (1958, 116 min.)
March 20, 2:00 pm
Lerner and Loewe follow the stage success of My Fair Lady with this made-for-film musical, shot on location in Cinemascope, from a novel by Colette. Vincente Minnelli directs and Cecil Beaton designs the sets and costumes. Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan, Maurice Chevalier, and Hermione Gingold star in a story about a young girl raised to be a courtesan, but aiming higher. Winner of nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Earrings of Madame de... (1954, 105 min., in French with subtitles)
March 27, 2:00 pm
Max Ophuls's direction glides with the swirl of French society through ballrooms and opera houses, in a story that revolves around the affair between Danielle Darrieux and Vittorio De Sica. She has received the titular diamond earrings from husband Charles Boyer, but they make the rounds in a way that reveals all, in one of the gems of cinema history.
Swann in Love (1984, 110 min., in French with subtitles)
April 3, 2:00 pm
Jeremy Irons stars as Swann, an aristocratic aesthete who loses himself in passion for the courtesan Odette, in a story excerpted from Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. Director Volker Schlondorff's impressive international production does not bite off more than it can chew, and the great cinematographer Sven Nykvist renders the drawing rooms and gala occasions of that society with elegant attention to detail.
Gabrielle (2005, 90 min., in French with subtitles)
April 10, 2:00 pm
Patrice Chéreau adapts a Joseph Conrad story about the disintegrating marriage of a wealthy Parisian couple into a penetrating psychological study. Will she leave him or not? Will he take her back or not? Isabelle Huppert and Pascal Greggory inhabit the couple's vicious dilemma with wrenching intensity, even while the soirée must go on.
Currently on view at the Clark, the exhibition Giovanni Boldini in Impressionist Paris illuminates Boldini's early career when he lived in Paris and painted the city's bustling streets, cafes, and concert halls, as well as charming scenes of its sunny suburban landscapes, while developing his unique style. Through approximately seventy oil paintings and drawings, the exhibition presents an innovative look at Boldini's Paris—its places of entertainment and leisure, its inhabitants, and its environs—at a time when the Impressionists were investigating the same sites and subjects. The exhibition is on view through April 25.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission is $15 June 1 through October 31. Admission is free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

Bridge page
What's the policy?
Google AdWords doesn't allow ads that promote bridge pages. A bridge page, also known as a doorway page, is a webpage created for the main purpose of sending visitors to a different site. Bridge pages can also be sites that drive traffic from AdWords-compliant content to non-compliant content. Affiliates that display the same characteristics may also be considered bridge pages.
Bridge pages offer little or no unique content and are considered low value to users. To comply with this policy, your site must have substantial amount of valuable content.
Bridge pages offer little functionality beyond driving traffic elsewhere. Travel aggregator or shopping comparison sites, for example, cannot simply drive traffic to a single online merchant. To make such sites valuable to users, offer compelling features like reviews, comparison charts, rating scales, or sorting or filtering capabilities.
We've created this policy to help make sure that the ads we show send users directly to diverse, useful content. This policy also prevents advertisers from getting around our AdWords policies by directing users to non-compliant content.
|Websites that lead to e-commerce platforms on another domain (for example, a shop that leads to a third-party site that purely acts as a secure server to process payments and isn't a shop itself).
|Not allowed
|Websites that feature links to other websites while providing minimal or no added functionality or unique content for the user
|Not allowed
|Websites that consistently feature a small number of merchants or service providers when displaying user search results with no additional functionality or unique content. For instance:
What can I do if my site gets suspended?Step 1: Review the guidelines above and see where your website might be causing issues. Please note that your entire website needs to comply, not just the landing page from your ad.
- Review your website and make sure that users are receiving a comprehensive online experience. This may include ensuring that users remain on the same domain throughout their entire session.
- Provide a substantial amount of original content or functionality by offering a combination of the following where appropriate to your industry:
- A variety of merchants or service providers for comparison
- Information on products or services that isn't available elsewhere, such as original user reviews and ratings
- Enhanced site functionality including, but not limited to, searching, sorting, comparing, ranking, and filtering
- Look at the example websites in the section above to see how a prohibited website can be changed to an acceptable one. This should give you ideas on how to change your website to comply with this policy.

Catbird Baby Pikkolo Carrier
"I bought the Pikkolo to have an option for a buckle carrier where my little one could have his legs out rather than in.

I tried it out, immediately, with my 3yo son, and was amazed at how comfy it was, even with him. The baby was far more..." --HeatherB

I am sticking to Manchester City to win the title as they have got their confidence and form back just in time.
Besides having Carlos Tevez back, City also play Newcastle United (Champions League spot) and QPR (relegation), teams with something to play for, in their last two games.
Having to play them means Roberto Mancini's men have to be on their toes and there's no way they will be lulled into complacency.
Also, Manchester United have been too inconsistent and shaky at the back this season.
More in The New Paper on Tuesday (April 24).
Nobody know who won the EPL title 2012 , If monday Manchester city win does not mean they win the title and they meet newcastle away next week match. Newcastle now target Champions League spot and they must win also. See the Manchester United mind games work next monday?....

The Magic wasted no time working No. 2 draft pick Victor Oladipo --- a shooting guard in college --- at point guard during scrimmage sessions of their first practice on Tuesday at Amway Center.
And coach Jacque Vaughn wasted no time in recognizing the rookie's boundless energy, saying he would "lean" on Oladipo to set a tone in "sprint work or scrimmages."
Oladipo was matched against veteran point guard Jameer Nelson in some scrimmage situations.
Not surprisingly, Oladipo said he was "going too fast" in his first NBA practice, admitting he had his good and bad moments. He figures to pick up pointers regularly from veterans.
"They're helping me and I'm willing to be helped," he said.
Second-year small forward Maurice Harkless said he felt that Oladipo was "a little nervous," and that, along with fellow rookie Romero Osby, he "got a little taste of how hard guys go in games."
Using Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook as the model, the Magic envision utilizing Oladipo's dynamic athleticism at the point at times during the season. He was primarily a shooting guard at Indiana.
The Magic should play Oladipo extensively this season, especially a point guard as they look to find a successor to Nelson. He also expects to spell Arron Afflalo at shooting guard or play alongside Afflalo, who can move to small forward.
Oladipo will be at the heart of Year 2 in the Magic's rebuild.
Oladipo played for the Magic's summer league team, but looked at Tuesday as his NBA baptism.
"It hit me before (practice started)," he said. "It's the first chapter – I'm crossing my fingers – in a long journey, a long, long, long journey."Brian Schmitz is the Magic Insider for the Orlando Sentinel.

I saw a youtube vid where a guy put an apex 2 barrel on his salvo with the stock picatinny shrouf and it looked badazz! he didnt however say what length og apex he was using. Im thinking the 14 is too short and a 16 would be about right. so i call my local shop and ask about this and they told me that the barrel would not fit into (diameter wise) the salvo shroud??> can anybody confirm this?? i was thinking the only problem i would face would be the mock silencer tip hittting the shroud from a length issue and thats why i was thinking 16in. thoughts?

The Georgia Bulldogs completed a record-setting season with a 45-31 takedown of the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day. Does this win serve as a harbinger of good things to come for the 'Dawgs?
The Georgia Bulldogs fell five yards short of a shot at the 2012 national championship. If Aaron Murray elects to return for his senior season of college football, the Red and Black could finish the drill in the final year of the BCS in 2013.
The Georgia Bulldogs are preparing to play their sixth bowl game in Orlando. The Red and Black's five previous postseason trips there reveal six keys to victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 2013 Capital One Bowl.
The Georgia Bulldogs are looking forward to their sixth bowl trip to Orlando to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 2013 Capital One Bowl. Today, we look back on the Red and Black's first win there, in the 1993 Citrus Bowl.
How good a freshman year do you think Todd Gurley is having for the Georgia Bulldogs? Chances are, you aren't giving him enough credit for the stellar season he is having.
Highly-touted tailback Isaiah Crowell left fans feeling frustrated after his freshman season with the Georgia Bulldogs. Dawg Sports wonders whether college football fans should be more appreciative of the prize recruit's rookie campaign.
True freshman tailback Isaiah Crowell inspires strong feelings among fans of the Georgia Bulldogs, many of which are negative. Are fans unfairly disappointed that their unrealistic expectations went unrealized?
Dawg Sports traces the odyssey of a Georgia Bulldogs fan decade by decade, from the national championship in 1980 to the uncertainty of 2010.
The 2009 Georgia football media guide arrived over the weekend, and a quick flip through the pages confirms that the Bulldogs are competing at the elite level under Mark Richt.
Jim Donnan's recent election to the College Football Hall of Fame sparked much debate in "The Dawgosphere." How well served were the Georgia Bulldogs by Donnan's tenure as head coach?

I regret having my sons circ'd. With DS #1, I honestly didnt even consider not circ-ing. I didnt know anybody who didnt circ and assumed everyone did it. With DS #2, 7 yrs later, I felt strongly against but DH wanted it and I gave in. This I regret so much. I knew it was wrong and aloowed it to happen. I am now pregnant w/ DS #3. DH has now changed his mind and is ok w/ non-circ. This is wonderful for DS but I am so sad for the other 2. I would reccommend your friend and her husband wait on circ until he is 1. This gives them more time to decide what is right and her DH may change his mind. You cant go back after the cut is made. Its also alot harder to put your child that you have grown to love through such an unneccessary precedure than a newborn (especially for men who tend to bond after baby is born).

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Kelley Bouchard firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
Colin Woodard, state and national affairs reporter at the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, has won a prestigious George Polk Award for his investigative report on the influence exerted by for-profit online education companies on the Maine Department of Education.

Woodard will receive the 2012 George Polk Award for Education Reporting for "The profit motive behind virtual schools in Maine," a two-part report that was published Sept. 2 in the Maine Sunday Telegram.
Woodard's stories revealed how two out-of-state companies angling to open virtual charter schools in Maine were shaping the state's digital education policies as it moved to establish its first charter schools. His work also showed how their schools in other states have fared poorly in studies of students' achievement.
"Our judges agreed that your work was extraordinarily reported, written with insight and powerful in its conclusions," said John Darnton, curator of the national awards, which are administered through Long Island University in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The 64th annual George Polk Awards, honoring special achievement in journalism in 14 categories, will be presented April 11 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. CNN's Christiane Amanpour and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Carl Bernstein will be the citation readers at the luncheon event.
Other journalists to be recognized for work completed in 2012 include David Corn, Washington bureau chief for the Mother Jones news organization, who last September published video of the "47 percent" remarks presidential hopeful Mitt Romney made during a private campaign fundraiser. Polk Awards also will be given to reporters for The New York Times and Bloomberg News who uncovered high-level corruption in China; journalists for McClatchy Newspapers and GlobalPost who covered the civil war in Syria; as well as staffers with CBS News, The New Yorker, The Washington Post and PBS' "Frontline."
"It's wonderful to receive national recognition for work being done here in Maine," Woodard said. "It's increasingly difficult for newspapers everywhere to invest the time and resources necessary to do investigative journalism, but it can be some of the most important work that we do."
Cliff Schechtman, executive editor of the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, said the Polk Award recognizes the critical role that watchdog journalism plays in protecting public interests in Maine and across the globe.
"It's particularly satisfying that national experts have recognized our efforts to expose how powerful forces can impact the lives of ordinary Mainers," Schechtman said. "Our readers can expect to see continued emphasis on investigative journalism."
Woodard's effort took months of reporting, analysis of more than 1,000 pages of official documents and communications, and interviews with sources throughout the country.
His stories showed how Maine Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen allowed outside interests to ghost-write much of his digital education agenda. The report detailed how the resulting policies clearly benefited the online education companies that helped to draft them, while jeopardizing the interests of students and taxpayers.
The report also exposed Mainers to the questionable track records of K12 Inc. of Herndon, Va., and Connections Learning of Baltimore -- the nation's largest online education companies. Both entities filed applications with the Maine Charter School Commission last year, hoping to open schools last fall. In January, the commission rejected both proposals.
Woodward was born in Waterville, grew up in Franklin County and graduated from Mt. Abram Regional High School in 1987. He is a 1991 Tufts University and 1996 University of Chicago graduate. He now lives in Freeport with his wife, Sarah Skillin Woodard, and their son.
He spent 15 years as a foreign correspondent and returned to Maine a decade ago.
Woodard has reported from more than 50 countries and six continents as a foreign correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor and other newspapers.
He has written four books, including "American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America"; "The Lobster Coast," a best-selling cultural history of coastal Maine; and "The Republic of Pirates," which is the basis of the forthcoming NBC drama "Crossbones."
Woodard has been a guest on several national TV and radio programs and has written for The Washington Post, The Economist, Smithsonian Magazine, Down East Magazine and other publications.
The George Polk Awards, which place a premium on investigative and enterprise reporting, were established in 1949 by Long Island University to commemorate George Polk, a CBS correspondent who was murdered in 1948 while covering the Greek civil war.

For Your Shopping List
Keep in Mind: Energy Star dishwashers use at least 25% less energy than standard models. You can save around $100 over the life of the dishwasher if it's an Energy Star model.
You can find the most water- and energy-efficient dishwashers in this Consumer Guide to Energy-Efficient Appliances, published by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
More energy-saving tips:
• Run your dishwasher with a full load. Most of the energy used by a dishwasher goes to heat water. Since you can't decrease the amount of water used per cycle, fill your dishwasher to get the most from the energy used to run it.

On the night of June 18th, Task Force 20, an American Special Operations team stationed in Iraq, expanded its operations dozens of miles inside Syria. Military intelligence had observed large numbers of cars and trucks speeding toward the border, and senior officers suspected that the vehicles were carrying fleeing members of the Iraqi leadership. Communications intercepts had indicated that there were more Syrian soldiers congregated along the border than usual, including some officers. The military concluded, according to a senior Administration official, that "something down there was going on." Two days earlier, one of Saddam Hussein's closest aides, Abid Hamid Mahmud, had been captured, and told his interrogators that he and Saddam's two sons had sought refuge in Syria but were turned back. Although the Syrian government denied knowledge of the brothers' whereabouts, the military was now ready to cross the border to stop any future flight attempts.
Sometime after midnight, Army helicopters and Bradley Fighting Vehicles attacked two groups of cars heading into Syria, triggering enormous explosions and fireballs that lit up the night sky. A gas station and nearby homes were destroyed. Task Force 20 sped across the border into Syria. Five Syrian guards were injured and flown to Iraq in American helicopters for medical treatment, and several other Syrians were seized, handcuffed, and detained before being released.
Pentagon officials subsequently praised the nighttime mission. "I'm confident we had very good intelligence," Air Force General Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Pentagon news conference on June 24th. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told reporters, "There were reasons, good reasons, to believe that the vehicles that were violating the curfew that existed in that area were doing it for reasons other than normal commerce." Asked if he believed that senior Iraqi leaders had been killed in the raid, Rumsfeld said, "We're trying to find out."
In fact, according to current and former American military and diplomatic officials, the operation was a fiasco in which as many as eighty people—occupants of the cars and trucks as well as civilians living nearby—were killed. The vehicles, it turned out, were being used to smuggle gasoline. The Syrian government said little publicly about the violation of its sovereignty, even when the Pentagon delayed the repatriation of the injured Syrian border guards—reporters were told that the guards had not been fully interrogated—for ten days.
Weeks later, questions about the raid remained: Why had American forces crossed the border? And why had the Syrian response been so muted? An American consultant who recently returned from Iraq said, "I don't mind so much what we did, but it's the incompetence with which we did it." A senior adviser to the Pentagon noted that the people who were killed had "put themselves into the gray area" by smuggling fuel across the border. "The troops were trying to work with actionable intelligence," the official said. "You might make the same mistake." This month, two retired veterans of the C.I.A.'s clandestine service, Vincent Cannistraro and Philip Giraldi, who now consult on intelligence issues, noted in a newsletter for their private clients that the attacks had been based on "fragmentary and ambiguous" information and had led to increased tension between Rumsfeld and the C.I.A. director, George Tenet.
Tenet's involvement was significant. American intelligence and State Department officials have told me that by early 2002 Syria had emerged as one of the C.I.A.'s most effective intelligence allies in the fight against Al Qaeda, providing an outpouring of information that came to an end only with the invasion of Iraq. (A number of the details of the raid and the intelligence relationship were reported by U.P.I. on July 16th.) Tenet had become one of Syria's champions in the interagency debate over how to deal with its government. His antagonists include civilians in the Pentagon who viewed Syria, despite its intelligence help, as part of the problem. "Tenet has prevented all kinds of action against Syria," one diplomat with knowledge of the interagency discussions told me.
Syria is one of seven nations listed by the State Department as sponsors of terrorism. It has been on the list since 1979, in large part because of its public support for Hezbollah, the radical Islamic party that controls much of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for, among other acts, the 1983 bombing of the American Marine barracks in Beirut, which left two hundred and forty-one Americans dead; it was implicated in the 1984 kidnapping of William Buckley, the C.I.A.'s Beirut station chief, who was tortured and murdered; and it has been linked to bombings of Israeli targets in Argentina. Syria has also allowed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, two groups that have staged numerous suicide bombings inside Israel, to maintain offices in Damascus.
Nevertheless, after September 11th the Syrian leader, Bashar Assad, initiated the delivery of Syrian intelligence to the United States. The Syrians had compiled hundreds of files on Al Qaeda, including dossiers on the men who participated—and others who wanted to participate—in the September 11th attacks. Syria also penetrated Al Qaeda cells throughout the Middle East and in Arab exile communities throughout Europe. That data began flowing to C.I.A. and F.B.I. operatives.
Syria had accumulated much of its information because of Al Qaeda's ties to the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic terrorists who have been at war with the secular Syrian government for more than two decades. Many of the September 11th hijackers had operated out of cells in Aachen and Hamburg, where Al Qaeda was working with the Brotherhood. In the late nineties, Mohammed Atta and other Al Qaeda members, including Mohammed Haydar Zammar, who is believed to have been one of the organization's top recruiters, worked on occasion at a German firm called Tatex Trading. Tatex was infiltrated by Syrian intelligence in the eighties; one of its shareholders was Mohammed Majed Said, who ran the Syrian intelligence directorate from 1987 to 1994. Zammar is now in Syrian custody.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Looking for an Android phone on a budget? You should look no further than PC World Australia's best buys. These Android smartphones are a rank of the top 10 handsets based on perceived value for money.
Google's Android platform has not only provided a genuine competitor for the Apple iPhone, but it has also opened up opportunities for powerful smartphones at the lower end of the market. The 10 selections in our August list are headed by the Huawei Sonic, which sells for a super low $188 in supermarket chain Woolworths and electronics retailer Dick Smith.
HTC is the most popular best buy Android phone vendor in August: four models from the Taiwanese giant made our top 10, including the Telstra-exclusive Desire S.
The Huawei Sonic provides a reasonable features list for quite a low price. As long as you can live with its limitations, such as the lack of Flash and a poor camera, it's very hard to beat for value.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Comments about Lib Tech Darker Series C3BTX Snowboard - Blem 2014:
delivery of this board was super fast. The blemish that it had was 1 small dimple on the front of the board and if you hadn't put a sticker next to it showing me that was the problem it would have taken me quite a while to find it. The blem board was really just as good as the as the board without the small blemish. Haven't started Riding this new darker series yet not enough coverage on the mountain. I will update this review after I ride this beast down the hill.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hello, luxury shopping: The South Metro will soon get an infusion of Prada, Pucci, Fendi, and friends.
Paragon Outlet Partners announced on Monday that Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th—a discount luxury retailer—will anchor a 28,000-square-foot space in an upscale outlet mall planned for Eagan.
Off 5th is just one of roughly 100 upscale outlets that will likely fill the 400,000-square-foot outlet mall, according to a press release issued by Paragon. The Baltimore, Md.-based company plans to begin construction of the mall earlier in 2013, after the city of Eagan wraps up infrastructure improvements in the area. The mall opening will likely occur sometime in late 2014.
"We are thrilled Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th will open an anchor store at Paragon Outlets Twin Cities at Eagan," Paragon Outlet Partners Principal Nicholas King wrote in the press release. "As we create a dominant outlet center in the Twin Cities market, the addition of Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th represents our steadfast commitment to offer customers convenient access to a collection of the world's most iconic brands at dramatic savings."
Eagan Community Development Director Jon Hohenstein, reached for comment on Monday afternoon, called the announcement "very good news".
Paragon's outlet mall project is expected to bring as many as 400 construction jobs to the community, as well as roughly 1,500 to 2,000 permanent retail positions. The Eagan City Council gave the outlet mall project preliminary approval earlier this month. Final approvals—which are largely a formality—are expected to come later in December.

Poo Kites
Trust me. This has nothing to do with teddy bears.
Paper is, of course, made from natural fibers that have been broken down. And what better way to break down vegetation than to digest it. See where this is going??
On our last trip to Cape Town, we learned of a factory producing paper from exotic animal dung. We were also aware that our friends at Cape Mental Health were hiring some of their clients to make miniature kites in a workshop which they then sold at the festival. We immediately suggested they use some of this fancy paper to produce unique kites which could be sold in all the tourist stores.
Upon our arrival this year, with much fan fare, we were presented with the very first of the "Poo Kites". The larger model is about 8 inches and the smaller ones about 4 inches. Both are certified to be made with authentic African Elephant dung.
We have been able to secure the first 50 kites in each size and will be bringing them home. Each will be sold with 100% of the proceeds going to help intellectually disabled kids in Africa.
What better gift for the kiter that has everything?? Poo Kites are a worthy addition to any collection. Of course, we don't promise that they fly worth a crap! Ok -- no more poor poo puns...
Small kites are $5 and larger ones $10. Buy as many as you want! Shipping is a flat $5 per order. Email us in the next two weeks and we'll ship as soon as we get home. Quantities are limited for now.
Email me if you are interested.

Few Star Wars fans may realize that, in 1985, the Millennium Falcon underwent a few "special modifications" to fly once again in a low-budget thriller called Evils of the Night. Well, not really — it actually just appeared on the poster for the B-movie schmaltzfest, sporting a second cockpit along with a cast of strangely recognizable names: Tina Louise (that's Ginger from Gilligan's Island), John Carradine, and Julie Newmar (Catwoman!).
There must have been some behind the scenes jitters when it came to marketing the movie on video, since the poster artwork was changed to make the Falcon much less recognizable:
This is the second time we've seen the Falcon used on a B-movie poster — remember this one from our feature a couple years ago?
Thanks to Dean Plantamura for the heads up!

Suspicious Minds - Original Version
The Wonder Of You - Original Version but different mix
It's like all the things wrong with the original 30#1 hits have been fixed!
Anyone else pick up anything interesting when listening?
"I always liked that hillbilly."
I haven't gotten this one yet. Thank you for the tips!
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
I was still undecided as to whether I would pick this set up or not, because of the duplication of E1 and E2 in the set, which of course I already own. But now that you are finding these corrections, so to speak, from the original E1, I might have to think twice about picking this set up!!
I would be interested to hear what you find when you listen to E2 and the new 3rd disc....would you mind posting any differences here when you have a chance to hear those discs please?
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
I listened to the other 2 discs. No surprises that I caught. I will have to say that I am pleased with the corrections on disc 1 overall. The only thing that I'm a little weird about is
In The Ghetto
Suspicious Minds
They sound like the original mixes which don't have the punch of the remixed versions. However "Suspicious Minds" used to aggravate me because of the harmony vocal being too low in the mix compared to the original and it sounded like flanging or chorusing was going on.
The Wonder Of You
Although it's the original version instead of the inferior alternate version from before, it doesn't sound as good. I still prefer the original mix on the original "On Stage" album even if it has overdubs.
There actually may be more differences but again I haven't A/B'd the original 30#1's with the new one.
"I always liked that hillbilly."
That is interesting that SUSPICIOUS MINDS, IN THE GHETTO and THE WONDER OF YOU don't sound like they were remixed....I wonder if they actually were, or if they were just slipped into the project at the last minute to correct the flaws from the original E1!!
I'll be interested to hear what you think of these songs after you have a chance to A:B them!!

i wont be buying this release,it is yet another time that bmg ( r.c.a ) are ripping the kings fans off.ill take it that everyone has got the no1 and second to none c.d.,s they put another c.d. on and expect us to buy it.there was a time when i bought everything that was put out, but now i have not got the money our the inclination to buy these things.i stick to buying the f.t.d releases
right thats me off my soap-box
I totally agree with geordie; I will not buy "Hitstory" - I will only stick to releases that are intended for the fans, that is cd's from FTD
Yes, I have E1/E2. i dislike them intensely. Especially E1 with all its mistakes. I wasn't going to buy HitStory, but now I might since they've fixed the mistakes.
Just because Sony/BMG is constantly recycling the same material doesn't mean anyone is getting "ripped off". We've all heard the material. We know what we're getting. Sony/BMG is NOT holding a gun to anyone's head. It's easy to say no. Try it--NO. See. That was easy. If you're not interested in what's released just say NO! Ripped off is a term that is overused on MBs.
I DID SAY NOOriginally Posted by JerryNodak
THe 3rd CD is not very good as far as song selection when compared to the first 2 discs. The other thing is that none of disc 3 is remixed like the other 2. THey definitely didn't feel like spending the money to make it really good.
"I always liked that hillbilly."
Upon A/B'ing the new 30#1's with the old one I've concluded that overall the original is more enjoyable although historically inacurate.
The new cd's "Hound Dog" is definitely better because it is the correct speed but that's as far as I'll go.
"A Fool Such As I" although the original performance does not compare to the sound of the alternate version on the original 30#1's. It is noisy in comparison. You can hear a rumble after the intro right before the Jordanaires start singing.
"A Big Hunk O' Love" although the original spliced version does not compare to the sound of the complete take on the original 30#1's. I suppose it's because the spliced version is down a generation. If they had spent the time to use the original takes and do a "splice" on pro-tools there would have been no generation loss. After listening to where the piano solo splice is, it is obvious that although it is a better solo, they were playing at a slightly faster tempo. Then when Elvis comes back in, they are back to the original tempo. With pro-tools I believe they also could have corrected the tempo problem that Ernst has talked about. Of course this would have cost studio time and money which they are not willing to spend. I understand why he always used complete take on all other previous projects.
"Suspicious Minds" and "In The Ghetto" are definitely the original mixes and cannot compare sonicly to the remixed versions. I do wish the remixed "Suspicious Minds" had the harmony vocal louder like the original.
"The Wonder Of You" although the original performance does not compare to the sound of the remixed alternate version on the original 30#1's. To me, it also doesn't compare to the original single mix either because the drums are too loud and the strings and horns are not loud enough. The question is: Why didn't they just remix the original version last time???
I just wish they would call me to do the next project.
"I always liked that hillbilly."
It sounds like RCA substituted accuracy for quality with Hitstory!! They corrected the mistakes from the original E1 release, but in turn didn't take the extra time to remaster the "corrected" songs so that they would sound like the rest of the songs on E1!!!
As for the third disc, you are right that the song list isn't exactly top notch, but there were a few songs on there that I thought would be worth hearing in a remastered quality....but they didn't even do that!!!
Well, for a brief time, I toyed with the idea of picking this set up....but now, with your latest report,I guess I'll just skip this one altogether!!!

Save The ScreenSavers!
XScreenSaver is one of the most widely-used screensaver applications for Linux systems. The Debian project is seeking new maintainers to help keep the software running.
XScreenSaver offers a large collection of screensavers to the Linux world. At this time, only two people are charged with the task of maintaining the package and these individuals are currently lacking the time the project demands. For this reason, they have turned to the Linux community for help and encourage all interested parties to offer up their abilities.
Co-maintainers should check and sort tickets, fix bugs and initialize patches. In addition, they should test whether the new releases function well in cooperation with corresponding packages such as Kscreensaver. Also, some tasks for the almost complete Version 5.0.8 are on the table: the closed patches should be checked and any issues that arise with Kscreensaver should be accordingly resolved.
The software is hosted over GIT-repositories and interested parties may respond to Bug#521783 , create a fork in GIT, and then begin. An overview of available screensavers can be found on the XscreenSaver website.
Kill-joys are most hated when rightLet Xscreensaver die. Our problems with global warming will kill it. Giga-Watts of displays flashing and spinning, why?
SuggestionsI am not able to offer help, but a suggestion.
New screen savers should be semi intelligent
and semi-persistent game-like interactive
activity. With a button to stop it and return
to the desktop manually, when the interactive
part is boring you, or the boss comes

Hi Sheryl,
Just wanted to let you know that we got our media stand yesterday and it's beautiful! The guys that delivered the piece were great and very courteous and professional -- and they arrived promptly -- didn't have to wait until the tail end of the notified delivery time which was nice. So if you can give A&O a shout out of a job well-done that would be great.
Thanks so much for all of your help. Hope that we can do business together again in the future.
Take care.

Windows 8 approaches, Mozilla developers have been working hard on a Metro version. If you're using Windows 8 on the desktop, no problem. Tablet users, however, are going to be denied a fully functional Firefox - and will face restrictions on many other third-party applications. In the name of security, Microsoft is forcing them into a "sandbox" on ARM devices. The lockdown renegs on the company's prior promises, and it's going to have some far-reaching effects on many applications.As
Mozilla's Asa Dotzler touched on this issue yesterday, saying that Microsoft "is trying to lock out competing browsers when it comes to Windows running on ARM chips." But it actually goes farther than that.
Microsoft is restricting access to some APIs on ARM-architecture devices that are, as Dotzler says, "absolutely necessary for building a modern browser that it won't give to other browsers so there's no way another browser can possibly compete with IE in terms of features or performance."
Dotzler is focused on the implications of Microsoft's win32 API restrictions on ARM because they affect Firefox. This makes sense because Dotzler works for Mozilla and focuses on Firefox in general, not to mention Microsoft's long history of anticompetitive behavior towards third-party browsers. Make no mistake, though: Limiting access to the win32 APIs is likely to impact many other applications as well. How can LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice compete with Microsoft Office if they're shut out of the win32 APIs?
In the Name of Malware
Microsoft is getting cut a lot of slack for its anticompetitive stance, because it is casting the anti-features for developers in the name of "protecting users from malware." It's OK if Microsoft cuts off competing applications at the knees, because it's trying to prevent malware.
Leaving aside Microsoft's intentions - perhaps it truly is motivated only by the best interests of users - this argument fails on a number of levels. First, it assumes that Microsoft's own applications won't be exploitable. Given Microsoft's history with security, this isn't likely. Why does Microsoft get the assumption of secure applications, while third parties do not?
And let's not forget who got us to this juncture in the first place. Microsoft users have been worn down by more than a decade of security issues that trace back to Microsoft itself. Microsoft is essentially using its own failings to excuse its blocking of third-party apps that may well have better security than its own applications.
Sandboxing third-party apps into limited parts of the machine does nothing to ensure that Microsoft's own browser won't be ownable by malware. Since Internet Explorer code isn't open source, security researchers can't audit the code directly. Firefox, which can be independently audited, won't be available on the new ARM tablets.
Why Not Complain About Apple?
Some folks have tried to dismiss complaints about Microsoft's ARM policies by pointing at Apple. Since Apple also discriminates against developers on iOS, why shouldn't Microsoft?
Yes, Apple's iOS developer policies suck, but they've sucked since the operating system's inception. What's more, there's little chance that Apple is going to change its policies unless users start abandoning iOS, or there's some sort of legal interference. Given that it'd be hard to make a case that Apple has a monopoly, legal interference seems unlikely.
That doesn't mean that third parties should just shrug their shoulders and accept the same treatment from Microsoft. If Microsoft is successful in the tablet market, ceding the Windows 8 ARM tablets is going to be a big loss for third parties. Loss of one platform is difficult, but being shut out of two tablet platforms in a three-horse race is going to spell major problems for Mozilla.
Dotzler distinquishes between a tablet OS and a general-purpose OS, though. Right now, at least, iOS is just for phones and tablets. Firefox can still compete with Safari on Mac OS X. Whether the distinction really makes sense, I'm not sure, given iOS' dominance on tablets so far.
But Windows 8 is not tablet-only. As Dotzler points out, tablets may be a "tiny sliver" of the PC universe now, but if you're looking ahead, that's not going to be the case in a few years. "ARM will be migrating to laptop PCs and all-in-one PCs very quickly," he says. "If you read Microsoft's blog posts about Windows on ARM, you'll see that they expect ARM PCs to cover the whole spectrum. ARM chips are already being used in servers. This is not a tablet-only concern."
Tablets and Tightening
If trends continue, users will do much more computing on their tablets and phones in the future. Even if this was a tablet-only issue, it'd be worth standing against. The amount of lockdown being exhibited on tablets is troubling, to say the least.
Giving Microsoft (or Apple) so much control over what applications run on their platforms is not good for developers or users. It should be assumed that users have control over their computing devices, and that means having the option to choose their own applications for Web browsing and everything else.
It's not at all puzzling that Mozilla is complaining about being shut out of Windows 8 tablets. What's puzzling is how many developers and industry pundits are willing to give Microsoft a pass.

What do you talk about with customers?
September 7, 2011: MDN Weekly Sales Tip
What kind of coversations do you have with your customers? Do you talk about the weather? Last night's football game?
Ryan Spence, USA Tools mobile distributor and Professional Distributor's June 2011 profile, takes a different approach. He tries to keep the conversation on tools, to sell more tools.
During the ridealong, our editor noticed Ryan didn't seem to have to do much selling that day. When he pointed out that almost every customer at each stop knew what they wanted to buy, Ryan noted that "A lot of it's just impulse…(if I) keep the guys focused on tools instead of talking about the ball game, it leads to more sales."
