Phil Stern | Hollywood Portraits
I call him the Cartier-Bresson or Robert Frank of Hollywood. He wouldn't allow the orchestrated P.R. photograph. He made authentically real photographs, and in the context of Hollywood, to make a real picture is odd.
– Los Angles photography gallery owner, David Fahey
My meeting with Jimmy Dean occurred in 1953, somewhere in the spring. I was aware of him of course. I was driving on Sunset Boulevard west towards Life Magazine's offices….and passing through Crescent Heights Blvd, green light, coming down the other way, crossing the red light, was a crazy guy on a motorcycle. Anyway, he jammed n is brakes, I jammed on mine, I avoided killing him by a few inches. But anyway, he got up off the bike and he gave me a dopey grin. I was cursing him, using every expletive I could think of. And, that dope grin did it I guess. We became friends right there and we both went to breakfast at Schwab's drugstore. By this time of course, I knew who he was.
-Phil Stern
There are some people who you don't have to do anything with. And Jimmy was one of them: He was totally whimsical. There's one shot where Dean peeks out of a sweater. I didn't use a tripod or Strobe lights. I had a hand held Nikon. We broke all the rules that day.
-Phil Stern
I was a full decade older than Dean, but we hit it off. We were both a little nuts. I was a New York Jewish kid, from the Bronx; he was this Midwest eccentric. Neither of us was part of the Establishment. I feel his politics was only for the underdog.
-Phil Stern
Back in the Fifties, for me to photograph Marilyn Monroe, it was a catch-as-catch-can situation. I did not have her at my disposal the way some photographers did. So the only time I could get her was either surreptitiously or at a photo opportunity. And in that case, it was important for me to try to get a photograph that doesn't look the same as the others. So I had to watch carefully and if she did anything unusual with her face or expression, I had to be alert enough to snap it.
-Phil Stern
I had an assignment from Look Magazine. The assignment was what Sam Goldwyn sees from his window. And I had telephoto cameras located at Sam Goldwyn's office and it was setup in such a way there was no knowledge whatever of the people below and I was getting intimate pictures of them. And that's where I was able to get those pictures of Marilyn Monroe walking with Paula Strassberg. At certain days, they were inseparable. And that was the time when she was pregnant during her marriage with Arthur Miller, At one point, her pregnancy was such that she was beginning to show.
And in one of those photos that made, she wore a dark kimono over a white outfit. And the wind blew open the kimono and it was very obvious that she was pregnant.
I believe and I'm not sure about it, that that is the only shot of her pregnant.
-Phil Stern
The pictures I most like are not necessarily pictures of Hollywood stars. I'm always looking for the perfect picture, and it does not matter who's in it. And I can also add that I am more than 90 years old and have been holding a camera since age 14, and I have not yet found the perfect picture yet. But I will always keep looking for it.
-Phil Stern
[I shot] Sinatra literally in the position of Christ nailed to the cross. He choreographed it himself. This was a personal gag created for Mervyn Leroy, a director he had contempt for. He sent it along with a note that said, "O.K., you now have me where you want me. Frank."
-Phil Stern
Bogart trusted me. [James] Dean trusted me. And Wayne. During the war, Wayne was never in the military. Bogart and Wayne may have seen themselves as a lot more macho than they actually were. I, in contrats, had been wounded. So my reputation in their eyes was as a tough guy.
-Phil Stern
But like I said before – the most important thing is access for the photographer. There are many good photographers but they are not appreciated for their work that they do not gain access to the appropriate places.
-Phil Stern
Sinatra especially for some reason liked the photos I made and he liked me. He didn't love me but he liked me. He gave me access to the many things he did: his concerts, special events, television shows and when he worked in movies. I had many assignments with Sinatra, the most important one perhaps was the inauguration in 1961 of President Kennedy. And when Kennedy had a big gala, he appointed Sinatra to do all the entertainment. In that case, he asked me to be the resident photographer.
-Phil Stern
In my mind a photographer is like a carpenter. He can make a beautiful cabinet and you can exclaim `it's a work of art,' but it's never going to be a Rembrandt.
-Phil Stern
Matisse I ain't.

I am trying to figure out how to keep my content (blog posts and right sidebar) centered, while having a full width header and footer.
I currently have a wrapper in my CSS so therefore everything is centered. When I remove the wrapper, it gives me the full width header and footer that I need, but it also moves my content so that it is no longer centered.
How would I go about fixing this?

Apple cider is a type of unfiltered apple juice made from pressing ripe apples to remove the liquid from them. It looks quite different from regular apple juice, which is filtered and is completely clear, because it is cloudy as a result of having apple particles still suspended in it.

Baking with Starbucks Via
Anyone who has been in a Starbucks lately has seen Starbucks Via. The coffee company has been promoting their new instant coffee like crazy, so it's pretty hard to miss. If you were lucky, you might have even gotten a free sample or two in a promotional taste test. I say "lucky" because Via is actually excellent for an instant coffee (and quite a bit ... Read More »
Coffee-Pairing Lunch at Lucques
I rarely mention restaurants – unless I'm dining out of the country – but this week I had a lunch that was so foodie-oriented, I can't resist writing about it. It was a coffee-pairing lunch hosted by Starbucks at Lucques, a restaurant in Los Angeles. The lunch was held at the end of Coffee College, a day long seminar that Starbucks hosted (and was generous ... Read More »
Homemade Orange Julius
An Orange Julius is a frothy cold orange juice drink that tastes kind of like a creamsicle, except much lighter and much better. The company that makes them – also named Orange Julius – has been making these drinks since 1926. I remember getting so excited when I was a little kid and saw an Orange Julius stand. Absolutely nothing was more refreshing on a ... Read More »
Coffee Cup Cookie Cutters
Cookies and milk go together like, well, cookies and milk. Even though they "go together," I tend to keep the elements separate – drink in a glass, cookies on a plate – as long as you don't count any crumbs floating in the mug after an extended dunk! This set of Coffee Cup Cookie Cutters has given me some new perspective on how the two ... Read More »
Splat Stan Coaster
I always use a coaster near my computer just to try and keep any moisture from drinks- "sweat" on cold glasses on hot days or drips down the sides of other beverages – away from my computer. Most are pretty boring, as the majority of coasters are still sold in sets with the intention of being used in a more formal room where the wood ... Read More »
Loose Leaf Tea Tumbler
Both coffee and tea are staples in my diet, with breakfast, with baked goods and with dessert. I also often take an insulated mug or thermos out with me when I'm on the go, especially on chilly mornings. This works best with coffee, as tea bags left in thermoses will easily oversteep, and loose leaf teas take extra time in their preparation. When I saw ... Read More »
Shortbread Lattes from Starbucks
Last week, the Starbucks stores in my neighborhood rolled out their holiday drinks – namely the gingerbread (yum!), peppermint mocha and eggnog lattes. I noticed that several stores had special announcements of another drink: a shortbread latte. The drink wasn't on the regular menu board, but merely written up on the chalkboard with the rest of the specials. My first thought was that it was a ... Read More »

Queen Iladriels' Palace deep in the Enchanted Woods
Posted 10 December 2011 - 11:06 AM
This is a perilous mission as she had to cross the mystic isles and evade spies and assassins that wanted to prevent her from reaching her goal. The Queens'palace is not easily found and the queen is known to dislike humans.
Queen Iladriel is admired for her beauty and is also a skilled powerfull sorceress. It is rumoured that once a young arrogant prince from a faraway land killed one of her favorite sacred white deer as a way to impress her and demanded that she would marry him. In her outrage about his perilous deed it is said that she changed him into a frog…(is this a fabel or truth, can you find the frog on one the pictures ??)
Fortunatly Queen Iladriel was quite curious about the famous Green Riders and their small magical abilities. She would like to find out if these are remnants from ancient Elvish magic. Furthermore she is quite impressed by Kariny's ability to find her palace and the Green Riders respect for nature, therefore she has allowed her a meeting and deliver the message from Artorius Rex.
The question is, will she give her support to Artorius?
After reading the letter from Artorius Rex, Queen Iladriel didn't give any comments, but she offered Kariny a cup of the special Elvish Ruby Red Wine.
She asked her about her secret magical ability (you might find out what it is in later MOCs), and assessed her magical abilities. Kariny also allowed Iladriel to read her mind, so she could see for herself through Kariny's eyes what is happening outside the Enchanted Forest in Historica. Seeing drows destroying nature and assessing the potential damage to the beautiful places in Avalonia when invaded, she decides she will step up and give her support! Kariny will take her answer back to Artorius Rex.

I'm working on an application where third party developers will be able to write plugins. I've been looking a little at Managed Extensibility Framework and it seems the right way to go.
One thing though, I want to prevent plugins from accessing the rest of the application freely (calling singletons etc) but would want to restrict to to communicate via some interface, ideally each plugin would have to "request" permission for different things like accessing other plugins and user data, is there a good way to do accomplish this?
Only thing I can think of otherwise is to have a security string passed to each method and obfuscate the hell out of the code but it seems like an ugly solution :P

The Rise of PolyPhony
I can already see the usefulness and need for having a lifestory blog here, because I intend to go the distance, however I am admittedly at the very cusp of my journey. Thoughts and events are bubbling to the surface, as I grow, or "open up", as a possibly Poly person, and I think it would be useful to journal here whenever I can, and at times get some reflection from the community, keep me in check if necessary, and gain any direct perspective through that process.
I am a man in my mid-thirties, who is straight as an arrow. But that's not to say that I am rigid. I'm not curious, but if my girls wanted to play with a man and had some fantasy I could help them with, I have no fear of another man. But it wouldn't change how much I love women. I was raised by a single mom, who was widowed, along with my half-sister, and eventually through re-marriage I gained two more step sisters. My mom really was always proud of me and stood up for me, and that coupled with all the girl power in the house carved me out as a real Momma's Boy (a boy or man who puts women on a pedestal and puts them first, even before themselves). I later worked through this problematic personality disorder in order to regain balance and healthy relationships in my life. I thankfully haven't become the opposite, but I do have some real opinions on the purposes of Man and Woman and how to make that flow work. I believe in Gender Roles, but if I have to be the minority in that belief, that's ok, I still allow the freedom for other ways in the world and I accept them. So these are opinions for myself, and I try not to project them onto others, but I do get philosophical about it sometimes and others can get offended for me bringing up such hot topics. I've been called a Male Chauvinist and a Machista, but I don't think I fit the typical mold for that, as I don't work out, I really hate sports, I don't drink beer or any alcohol socially, and I don't like hanging out with guy friends...at all. A lot of Male Chauvinists will go out together drinking, they might talk about how to keep their women in line, or do worse towards women while they are together. I don't identify with that at all, and I would stand up for women in those spots.
I will talk more about how I came to the realization that I am Poly-minded in this Lifestory Blog, but for now it's important to note that I very much identify with it, and at the time of this posting, I am a Poly Virgin. I have not yet experienced anything full-on-Poly, actually. Right now it's a concept that agrees with me, and my wife-to-be and I are experimenting with me opening up and it scares the living hell out of her. So far she has only been able to entertain the idea of a threesome (in the swinging sense). And because I have always given her her freedom, she has experimented more with the threesome and bi-curious tendencies, or basically getting together with others sexually, than I have. I have yet to experience a sexual threesome which for me would wind up being more about Poly than Swinging, but to each his own. But the reason I am starting this Lifestory Blog so early in, is we are planning on our own threesomes any day now, and I believe this will be one step in my journey of opening up to Poly.
Many serious life changes are being discussed. I have children from my previous marriage, and my fiancee and I have one child from this one, and she has two daughters from before, one of which was living with her grandparents and has no father present, so I have embraced the role and moved her into our home. That is a complicated long story I can get deeper into another post.
ARROGANT and EGOTISTICAL
I'll be forthright and inform any readers that I have a bad habit of either coming across as arrogant, or being arrogant, and that although that I'm aware of it and it bothers me that I do that, it's very hard for me to temper down. So my apologies to all who just are turned off at the outset of anything I say because it's loaded with arrogance. I am aware of that negative side of myself, and I work everyday to be better in that respect. I just recommend you take everything I say with a grain of salt, and if you could just look deeper into my journey you should find some real interesting emotions, thoughts, that are actually worth sharing despite them being cloaked in any arrogance. That said, I really will always be trying to do my best to keep that down. But sometimes I go back and read what I wrote later and can't believe how egotistical and arrogant I sound. I don't like it, but I own it, and I take full responsibility for it.
My biggest intention with sharing as a concept, in life, is to make this world a better place through learning from each other's mistakes, and being able to stand on each other's shoulders, so that none of us have to embark on our journey's like we're back in the stone age. I don't know what it is about me, but I love to share. I always have. I never fought about toys as a child. And it always makes me happy to make someone else happy, first, before I think of myself.
I have a strong "compersive" core (no idea if this is a proper inflection of the coined word compersion). I have had that attribute my whole life, and the discovery of Poly has been a wonderful realization that the way I am has an outlet that can be accepted when it comes to Love and Intimacy. I never liked that I had to limit my love output. I've often been too much for women I was with, eventually smothering them or getting other destructive results because of my needs to express love. I rarely if ever experience Jealousy or Envy, and if I do I immediate switch the feelings over to happiness and joy for the other person.
My feeling is, if it makes you happy, go do it, I'm happy for you, genuinely.
Even in the cases where something that might make me jealous has occurred and the person who participated in it is
not happy with what they've done
or chosen, I find myself only feeling sad for that person. I never feel threatened or afraid... of my path in life, if someone else should not want to be a part of it (jealous potential), or if someone else has something that I want (envy potential). RE: Envy, my feeling is that if I have not earned the thing myself, than I do not wish to steal or lie or cheat to get it.
Ever since the first time I was caught lying to my mother at age 7, I just could not ever handle lying again. I have screwed up more relationships being honest about my feelings than I could have kept together if I was not so open and truthful. And so many situations at work, and in life. It seems this world spins better with lies. Well, I don't want to be a part of that. I don't believe that is good behavior. I have told white lies, and I have lied by omission, but I still prefer to tell the truth and get what I deserve for what I have earned. I don't like making myself out to be different than I am, nor do I think anyone should have a right to anything they haven't earned or don't deserve.
Sometimes I may say something that just doesn't register. That could be because many thoughts are coming into my head at the same time and I'm trying to get them all down and sometimes they interact and what I express turns out to be only understandable by me or by a VERY PATIENT PERSON, lol. Heck sometimes I go back and read it later, and think: "what the hell was I getting at?" and even I can't figure it out. But I think this "Lifestory Blog" format is a great place for me to just throw plaster at the wall and see what sticks and becomes a part of my true life story.
I will also sometimes talk out of my ass! lol ... I'm going to just say that right at the outset. However, I do have a high IQ and whatever I'm purporting comes from a place of being a sensible, experienced, logical "guess". We all talk that way sometimes, otherwise we would sound like scientific robots, but sometimes I do it with big things...important things....subjective things. I can be found to make giant magically broad statements about things I believe later to only be shot down for it having holes (exceptions) or that I was offensive to groups who are sensitive to the otherwise.
I can't please everybody at the same time, and I'm pretty opinionated. I am a strong personality to deal with in real life. Although
I am mild mannered
, I have a very strong active mind with a uniquely developed set of values. They will often not agree with your values. One of my own personal tenets of life philosophy is being original. So I try and adopt my own ideals based on my own theories.
I don't really believe anything anyone says.
I have to figure out the "why" on my own, and than I figure out to believe it or I don't.
God is a great example of me believing only what I think for myself. I'm open to the idea that there is one, but I live my life quite fine embracing the reality that I experience. I was born Russian Orthodox, I was raised Born Again Christian. I didn't like how everyone would sing the same words together in church...because I hated the concept of not being original. It was very demonic to me, like a cult, and I could not identify with it. However I did pick up all the bible's lessons in Sunday school, and some of the ones that made sense, I adopted...like "treat others how you would like to be treated" (is that in there?). Later I got married and converted to Judaism for 10 years. After that divorce I experimented with Catholicism and I liked the charm of it. It felt very grand and well thought out. Unlike Christianity which seemed like it could take place in a trailer park, Catholicism almost always had a similar visible beauty in the different churches (if that's what their called). Ultimately I just don't feel drawn to religion mainly because it's mass dogma and I like to think for myself.

U.S. international Omar Gonzalez made a successful return just six months after tearing his ACL, but he wasn't on the field when Philly scored the stoppage-time winner.Omar Gonzalez made his first LA Galaxy appearance of the season after tearing his ACL in January, playing 45 minutes in a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union.
Jack McInerney scored deep into first half stoppage time. Michael Farfan sprinted past David Junior Lopes toward the endline and cut the ball back into the box. With his marker hanging tight, McInerney flicked the ball behind him with his heel, sending it smoothly into the bottom far corner.
Gonzalez made way at halftime as a precautionary measure. Sean Franklin replaced him.
Midway through the second half the Galaxy equalized. Landon Donovan slipped the ball to Todd Dunivant, who hit a low hard cross. Robbie Keane touched the ball on and Chad Barrett scored his first of the season.
The winner came in the 95th minute. Michael Farfan finished past Josh Saunders with a nice Lionard Pajoy backheel in the buildup.

Risk equalisation in voluntary health insurance markets: A three country comparison
The paper summarises the conclusions for health policy from the experience of three countries who have introduced risk equalisation subsidies, in their voluntary health insurance (VHI) markets. The countries chosen are Australia, Ireland and South Africa. All of these countries have developed VHI markets and have progressed towards introducing risk equalisation. The objective of such subsidies is primarily to make VHI affordable while encouraging efficiency in health care production. The paper presents a conceptual framework to understand and compare risk equalisation subsidies in VHI markets. The paper outlines how such subsidies are organised in each of the countries and identifies problems that arise in their implementation. We conclude that the objectives of risk equalisation, in VHI markets are no different to those in countries with mandatory insurance systems. We find that the introduction of risk equalisation subsidies is complex and that countries seeking to introduce risk equalisation in VHI markets must carefully consider how such subsidies advance their overall health policy goals. Furthermore, we conclude that such subsidies must be structured correctly as otherwise incentives exist for risk selection which may threaten affordability and efficiency. Our overall conclusion is that also in voluntary health insurance markets risk equalisation has a role in meeting the related public policy objectives of risk solidarity and affordability, and without it these objectives are severely undermined.

12. Rely on Stock Products
"When I redid my first bathroom, I custom-ordered a few things. But I didn't have the luxury of time with this renovation. Nearly everything came from home centers and big-box stores. That meant I had to forfeit a cast-iron tub, but there was a big upside to this: I found an enamel-coated steel tub that looked very similar to the one I'd wanted but cost much less."

(The Liberation Trilogy, Book 1)
Sandar takes a huge intake of breath and faces me with a pleading look. He's asking me, non-verbally, to help him. Help my grandfather. Help the world.
"So you're basing the fate of a whole population on the survival of one man?" I ask. It must sound crazy, surely, even to his ears!
"Yes, it so happens that we are."
She lives in a time when appearance means everything; when brown eyes are the key to survival, and dark hair is the only normality. A time when having any other eye colour means certain imprisonment - or even death.
The world is governed strictly. It is all for their own good, they know, and no one dares question the authority of the government. Having any eye or hair colour other than brown is abnormal; it is an omen of extreme bad luck and death. Those who are born with anything other than brown hair or eyes are called Aberrations. It has been a decade since the last known human without brown eyes died, and no one has been sighted having any abnormal eye colour since.
If you have the misfortune to be born as an Aberration, you will be taken away from your family, to a place no one returns from; a poor, defenceless child thrust into a world that is both cruel and filled with conflict.
Her name is Auriella Vanhanen, and she is a blonde with grey eyes.

@AndrewMonk The reason I wrote that little bit at the beginning was so that I would have a riveting first-sentence that made you want to keep reading. Did I do it wrong? =) And do you think just starting from 'holding her frail hands between mine' would be too boring?

Nice opening, written in omniscient, not that that's a big problem for prologues.

@JustClick, gracling? I think it's different, like I guess they relate to death and eye color... But I don't see it, well I guess I only read the first chapter so...

Bought this set for a guest room for my grandkids stay overs. It is absolutely adorable. Makes me smile every time I walk in that room.
This is for my 6 yr old's bed. The whole set is beautiful and suits her bedroom perfectly. Here is the problem and I really wish it coutd be fixed. There should be slits on the sides so it would hang better. Right now, it is bunched up in the corners. I do love the quality of it
I decided to buy a daybed for the guest bedroom in my brand new home. The colors and design were perfect. I was not disappointed when they arrived so quickly, just in time for Thanksgiving company.

Paul Robeson (1898-1976) was in many ways a pioneering figure in African-American history. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Robeson attended Rutgers, where he was a star athlete, among other things becoming a two time Walter Camp All-American in football. He was also a brilliant student. After college, Robeson became a well-known actor and singer. By the 1930s, greatly affected by the pernicious influence of racial discrimination, both on himself and on his people, Robeson became a political activist. By the late 1940s, Robeson had become openly radical and sympathetic to the Soviet Union, which exposed him to much criticism and even persecution. In one infamous incident, a pro-communist concert Robeson gave at Peekskill, New York, in 1949, was met with mob violence. In 1950, in response to his outspoken views, the State Department revoked his American passport, a decision that stood until the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in 1958.
It was the passport issue that would lead Paul Robeson to make his only appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). On June 12, 1956, he would testify on the topic of "unauthorized use of United States passports." Robeson would make a stirring defense of his rights as an American citizen, and the civil rights of African-Americans, in remarks addressed to HUAC Chairman Francis Walter (D-PA):
This is the basis and I am not being tried for whether I am a Communist, I am being tried for fighting for the rights of my people who are still second-class citizens in this United
States of America. My mother was born in your State, Mr. Walter,
and my mother was a Quaker, and my ancestors in the time of Washington
baked bread for George Washington's troops when they crossed
the Delaware, and my own father was a slave. I stand here struggling
for the rights of my people to be full citizens in this country and they
are not. They are not in Mississippi and they are not in Montgomery,
Ala., and they are not in Washington, and they are nowhere, and
that is why I am here today. You want to shut up every Negro who
has the courage to stand up and fight for the rights of his people, for
the rights of workers and I have been on many a picket line for the
steelworkers too. And that is why I am here today. (Investigation of the Unauthorized Use, p.4499)
Unfortunately, Robeson's testimony would also feature another prominent aspect of his public advocacy, one that makes him a source of controversy down to the present day: his unstinting support for the Soviet Union and refusal to criticize any aspect of its system or behavior. This, for example, was Robeson's response to HUAC when asked about the USSR's Gulag system of slave labor camps:
As far as I know about the slave camps, they
were Fascist prisoners who had murdered millions of the Jewish
people and who would have wiped out millions of the Negro people
could they have gotten a hold of them. That is all I know about that. (Investigation of the Unauthorized Use, p.4506)
Robeson's labeling of the victims of Stalinist oppression as "fascists" was a direct echo of Soviet propaganda, and one rejected by historians. According to scholar Anne Applebaum, whose work Gulag is considered close to definitive, some 18 million people passed through Stalin's slave labor camps between 1929-1953, of whom nearly 3,000,000 died as a result. (Applebaum, Gulag, p. 580-584)
Justifiably appalled by racism and Jim Crow, and convinced that communism offered a better future for humanity, Robeson was so attracted by the ideals of Soviet communism that he forced himself to overlook its often horrific reality. In the words of his sympathetic left-wing biographer Martin Duberman:
To the end of his life he would refuse to criticize the Soviets openly, never going further than to make the barest suggestion in private….that injustice to some individuals must always be expected, however much to be regretted, in an attempt to create a new world dedicated to bettering the lot of the many. (Duberman, Paul Robeson, 354)
Today, Paul Robeson is widely regarded as a heroic champion of civil rights. In 2004, he would even be honored by the US Postal Service with his own stamp. In the words of the USPS, "Paul Robeson was a tireless and uncompromising advocate for civil rights and social justice." (USPS, 'African-American on Stamps')
For many eastern Europeans, however, Robeson's unwavering support for the USSR and its actions make him anything but a symbol of freedom. As intellectual historian Ben Alpers put it, "if memories of Robeson have, at least in recent decades, been very positive in the U.S., his legacy is viewed quite differently in the former Soviet bloc." (Alpers, 'Rodriguez, Paul Robeson'). Czech writer Josef Skvorecky famously recounted his feelings about Robeson in his memoir:
In place of [Stan] Kenton, they pushed Paul Robeson at us, and how we hated that black apostle who sang, of his own free will, at open-air concerts in Prague at a time when they were raising the socialist leader Milada Horakova to the gallows…and at a time when great Czech poets (some 10 years later to be "rehabilitated" without exception) were pining away in jails. Well, maybe it was wrong to hold it against Paul Robeson. No doubt he was acting in good faith, convinced that he was fighting for a good cause. But they kept holding him up to us as an exemplary "progressive jazz man," and we hated him. May God rest his-one hopes-innocent soul. (Quoted in Duberman, Paul Robeson, 351)
Balancing Paul Robeson's passionate advocacy for civil rights and an end to racial prejudice with his support for Stalinism remains an unavoidable issue when assessing his legacy as a political activist.

The picturesque resort of Gstaad,with its traditional style buildings surrounded by 250 kilometres of skiable terrain, is a favourite amongst the elite with celebrities gracing the slopes and filling the gourmet restaurants in the evenings. However the less-affluent skier can still enjoy the resort with a stay in a good value apartment. The car-free resort is perfect for an early-evening wander, with window-shopping at the designer shops before enjoying a coffee at Michel's Stallbeizli. The village is traditional in style with charming alpine chalets, and the surrounding mountain scenery is stunning.

Throughout my case Vincent was professional and helpful, contacting me with news and keeping me informed every step of the way. I sincerely beleive Vincent's wealth of knowledge and experience made the difference in the outcome of my case. I would recommend him to my friends, family and anyone else in need of a criminal defense attorney.

I came to Mr. Labarbera after being charged with my fourth possesion for sales and second transportation offenses. The prosecutions only offer was 4 years in state prison. After the third day of trial Mr. Labarbera was able to work out a deal for a 7 year joint suspension with 3 years of probation and 1 year of rehab. I never had to see the inside of a jail cell and i've been clean and sober 8 1/2 months! Thanks Vince.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Switching gears, the State Department accepted as "credible" Israel's allegations that the Palestinians were trying to smuggle in rockets and other weapons by sea.
"We have some of the evidence. We don't have all of it," spokesman Richard Boucher said Tuesday.
"We're waiting to hear a full explanation of the incident" from Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Boucher said. On Wednesday, Israeli military intelligence officials are due to call at the State Department.
On Monday, four days after the Karine A was captured by Israeli naval commandos in the Red Sea some 300 miles from Israel, Boucher said the State Department had not assembled the facts and could not determine whether the ship was making a delivery for the Palestinian Authority.
Boucher gave reporters a revised account after Israel's justice minister, Meir Shitreet, told Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage that 50 tons of weapons aboard the intercepted vessel were intended for delivery to Palestinian fighters.
"There is no doubt Arafat is responsible," Shitreet said.
Boucher did not link Arafat to the smuggling. "I would say we're waiting to hear a full explanation of the incident from Chairman Arafat," he said.
"We are deeply concerned about the situation, about the involvement of Palestinians in this arms shipment," Boucher said. "We have expressed that concern directly and early to Chairman Arafat. We've told him we need a full explanation. He's now promised a full investigation."
Boucher said U.S. diplomats had examined some of the weapons. "The quantity and the quality of these shipments are of serious concern. I think we find the fact that there are Palestinians involved in shipping these weapons deeply troubling," he said.
An Israeli official said the arsenal included armor-piercing weapons designed to disable Israeli tanks. And Shitreet said 3,400 pounds of C4 explosive, a common terrorist weapon, were in the cargo.
"We have no doubt about the connection to Arafat," Shitreet said. Echoing Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, he called Arafat a liar and said Israel had intercepted three other such shipments in the past, but that a fourth succeeded in arming guerrillas in Lebanon.
Shitreet said the weapons seized last week were not bound for the Hezbollah fighters, who are conducting a cross-border, low-level war with Israel, since Iran, which Israel accuses of providing the weapons, is able to arm the guerrillas through Syria easily.
The weapons, which included rockets, would have posed a high danger to Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities, he said.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi, speaking Monday on Iranian TV, said Israel made up the allegations to "intensify a crackdown on the Palestinian intefadeh," or uprising.
Despite it all, Shitreet said Israel was prepared to resume negotiations with the Palestinian Authority once there have been seven days of calm.
He said Israel's dispute was not with the Palestinian people; the minister said Israel was making sure they had sufficient food, electricity and other supplies.
The ship's captain, Omar Akawi, has said in jailhouse interviews that he picked up the weapons at Iran's Qeys island, just off the country's southwest coast.
Akawi said he works in the Palestinian Transportation Ministry, and agreed to smuggle the weapons because "it's the Palestinian right to defend ourselves."
In the 1993 Oslo Accords with Israel, the Palestinian Authority agreed to limit the kind and amount of weapons it would amass. The arms aboard the ship went beyond those limits.
"I don't want to say the Oslo Accords are dying," Shitreet said. "But they are very sick."

I continue to be amazed at the difference between the painfully boring wooden Al Gore on the campaign trail and the charismatic smart articulate Al Gore on the global warming war path. It makes me want to choke his presidential campaign handlers. It makes me cry that this man is not right now our president as he should have been.
I did not attend the Key Arena event but my take on "An Inconvenient Truth" was not the teachings of a "doom and gloom prophet" but rather a message of hope. We know the problem, we know what we have to do to correct it, and we know what leaders we need to elect to effect the necessary changes. That's a message of hope. This blog and many individuals misinterpret the message; we aren't doomed according to Gore, we are in a position to effectuate encessary change. That's empowering iof you ask me. What's depressing is people who heatr the message and remain convinced we are doomed. It's your own self-fulfilling propehecy.
The early months of the Gore seffort were about as bad as it gets.
During that period I saw him a rally in mid town Seattle - all the difference in the world.
And his failure to turn Clinton soose in the south was also stupid. Bill can tell more tales with those folk than we can shake a stick at.
So sad, and look what Amedrica has instead.....
I take your point Keven. Gore—like Ezekiel—stressed that we can turn the problem around if we learn to straighten up and fly right, but the bulk of the lecture concerned current and future disasters, from mass extinction to catastrophic hurricanes—in other words, doom. It's a rhetorical device and it's very effective.

Katherine Heigl
Katherine Heigl in DL1961
Katherine Heigl was spotted at Katsuya restaurant in West Hollywood wearing her DL1961 jeans again. I'm on the fence with her Easter-looking plaid shirt; the more I look at it though the more I like it! I'm really going to miss Katherine on Grey's. You can buy these jeans here.
Katherine Heigl in DL1961
Katherine Heigl was seen having lunch with husband Josh Kelly at Little Dom's restaurant in Los Feliz, California. Katherine was wearing DL1961 Betty cropped jeans in Riviera. I like her look here, it is so breezy and unfussy; just a comfortable clean look. Buy these jeans at NationalJeanCompany for $148.
Katherine Heigl in Hudson
Katherine Heigl may be hiding from rumors regarding her departure on Grey's Anatomy but she still looked fashionable. She wore a pair of Hudson jeans, paired with a brown leather jacket and boots, to match her new brown do. What do you think about her leaving Grey's?

Craft Market - 18 November to 20 December, 10am to 9pm
Birmingham's Frankfurt Christmas Market and Craft Market, now having run for over a decade, has become a massive favourite with both residents and visitors to the city from all over the UK and Europe. With over 180 stalls, we claim it as the largest outdoor Christmas Market in the Britain, and is the centrepiece of the city's annual Christmas events calendar.
Pretzels, schnitzels, bratwursts, and knoblauchbrot will tempt your tastebuds, all of which can be washed down with gluhwein, weissbeer, mulled cider, or tasty hot chocolate. And whilst you're here why not pick up some presents for your family or indeed yourself in the form of the ever-favourite crystal lamps, Sounds of Nature, hand-crafted leatherwork, rugs, and much more besides! Why not have a go at a simple phrase or two? Click the link to our German language guide to the Christmas Market. http://bit.ly/Brum_Market.

Things to do at the Christmas Markets
Eat a German Bratwurst & Brezel
German Bratwurst (white or red sausage) and Brezel are traditional German foods and are famous throughout the world. How the Bratwurst is served varies by region, but it is commonly served with a Brötchen (roll). The Brezel is type of bread and is particularly famous in South Germany and Austria. German speakers also call it "Laugenbrezel" (lyle pretzel).
The West Midlands' own traders offer an entirely different selection of beautiful hand-crafted items at the Christmas Craft Market, created by local artisans, as well as ethnic goods imported from all over the world.
Stalls offer a huge range of locally hand-crafted items, including decorative ironwork, wood carvings, handbags, toys, musical instruments and organic soaps and cosmetics.
Other stalls offer fantastic ethnic handicrafts, imported from all over the world from places such as Africa, India and South America.
In addition to the crafts, a huge range of locally produced food and drink is on offer to tantalise hungry shoppers, including organic sausages and real ale from local micro-breweries, as well as home made chutneys and cheeses to take home and enjoy.
Coupled together, the two markets generate an incredible atmosphere and a unique shopping experience, creating the feel of a small, bustling village within the heart of the city centre.
Together with the huge range of Christmas events on offer, Birmingham's Christmas markets offer a delightful and exciting experience for all visitors.
With so many stalls to browse, why not avoid the evening crowds by taking advantage of one of the great centrally located hotels and stay for the whole weekend?
With the markets right on your doorstep for a relaxing morning browse, there are also plenty of other activities in Birmingham to keep you entertained for the whole weekend.

Anderson: Creating a new third person
- From: Sunday Mail (SA)
- January 26, 2013
WE'VE all been there: relaxing over Sunday coffee in a lovely little cafe, only to have the peace pierced by the screeching of a baby who clearly doesn't like the latte, writes Lainie Anderson
So, what to do? Do you politely ask the parents to remove their bawling bundle of joy, or do you suck it up and have your own Sunday ruined by unholy howling?
In Sydney, one cafe goer has sparked a fierce debate by rising up for the silent majority to ask the parents of a screaming baby "to take their child for a walk or find another solution".
According to the yarn recounted in the Sydney Morning Herald, the cafe patron didn't do it lightly - the wailing had gone on for 10 long minutes before he decided enough was enough.
It's fair to say the parents of the screeching child didn't exactly see it the same way, offering a middle-finger salute and branding the guy a "despicable human being" as they marched indignantly out the door.
Let's put to one side the debate on whether crying kids should be kicked out of cafes.
(And, anyway, there is no debate: of course they should be kicked out, if the parents aren't doing enough to quieten dear little Bonnie, or - despite every attempt - dear little Bonnie simply can't be calmed.)
I'm much more interested in the thought processes of people who are so self-absorbed that they can't appreciate the impact of their actions on everyone around them.
Self-worship has never been more pronounced than it is now.
Individuals have never had such conviction about their own importance. People have never spoken so openly about their own feelings about themselves. In
English grammar, we've always had the first person (me), the second person (you) and the third person (he, she, it and they).
Almost overnight, we've seen the creation of a new third person: myself. ("I have a great feeling about myself on the court at this moment," says Novak Djokovic. "I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier," says Khloe Kardashian.)
Gone are the days when you received, say, a letter in the post from a local real estate agent politely asking for your business when you next sell your home.
Now you get their life story and a fridge magnet photo - like this house seller you've never met should be front and centre in the kitchen with your family happy snaps.
This week, I received a simple email request from a random interstate public relations company updating its media contact lists.
It started like this: "I'm Stella and I recently moved over from Belgium as a PR intern. Last summer I obtained my master's degree in communications and since I always had a passion for travel I decided to pursue a career abroad. For the next couple of months I'll be assisting with PR activities."
It's too simplistic to blame this "me" magnification on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter - but I will anyway.
That is, after all, where you'll now find millions of "selfies" - so-called self-portraits taken on your phone and quickly uploaded to social media.
Sequential selfies are apparently all the rage. A mate recently watched aghast as a stream of Facebook posts were uploaded by a friend in her 40s getting highlights in her hair.
Does anyone care? (Well, actually, it generated dozens of "likes". Go figure.)
Truth is, even the most traditional media now constantly seek our opinions. Why? To entice us with easy, non-challenging questions to their own websites, so they can increase web traffic and, ultimately, advertising revenue.
Well, OK, more power to the people. It's a brave new world where all opinions are valid, instead of information flowing just one way (from talking heads like me, for example).
But let's just hope this new global fascination with navel gazing doesn't hinder our ability to empathise, or appreciate the needs of others also enjoying a Sunday coffee in the big cafe of life. That's what I've been telling myself, anyway.
Have your say

On campus parking is very limited if you do not have a parking pass. Off campus parking is available is various parking garages and lots. Prices of public pricing is very reasonable for guests. However, if you're looking for permanent parking, the parking passes for residential life is different for every real estate agency.
Both Extremes – Weather at Penn State is known to be very sporadic. And because of our geographic location, we receive both ends of the extremes: lots of snow in the winter and lots of heat & humidity in the summer. However, the diverse weather also makes life exciting and fun!
Drug Safety:
It depends on your friends and how you choose to spend your time.

This program has been an amazing program. I would do it all over again if I could. The classes the program offers are very helpful at gaining an understanding in the business field, and there are tons of opportunities to get involved and shape your experience. The advisers and structure of the program are also a great help. My goal is to work as an analyst or a position in management for a Fortune 500 company. I want to use the knowledge from college and my person experiences to help shape businesses for the better. Unfortunately, many people take on my field, so it will be difficult to differentiate myself from all the other candidates. I am very concerned it will be difficult to find a job especially without an internship.
The process of getting in my Management program was not particularly difficult. I managed to enter the business school as a freshman, so I only needed a 3.25 GPA to enter any of the business majors. After two years in the college and a high enough GPA, you could automatically choose the business major you wanted to enter. The best tip is to enter the program as a freshman rather than a junior.
Campus Quality:
Penn State is continuously striving to improve the facilities to accommodate its large student body. Just in the last year, we've opened up at least two new buildings and renovated many more in order to create more space for various departments and majors. I particularly enjoy Penn State's resourceful libraries. The Pattee and Paterno Libraries at University Park hold some of the best resources in the academic world. Penn State Libraries give students access to many online and physical databases, computers, and books.
Resources, Resources, Resources! I came to Penn State without knowing what to expect from a school of such a large population. However, as time passed I realized that the magnanimity of our school also meant that the number of resources were just as high. From dozens of advising offices for each department to financial aid offices for study abroad options, Penn State offers a variety of resources for the aspiring student. During the semester, I received weekly e-mails updating me on the academic resources available to me. I found this extremely helpful and encouraging in my first year of college.
Coming into college as a freshmen, Penn State's financial aid office was very helpful. I received several private scholarships from individuals through the student aid office. As the years went by and I encountered financial hardships, the office was very helpful in clearly answering all of my additional questions. However, the office is rather small for an undergraduate student population of 40,000+. If you want to speak to a financial aid representative, get to the office as soon as it opens, or else you'll be in line for at least 30 minutes.
I'm in the College of Liberal Arts as a Political Science Major. Most of the professors are very knowledgeable in their area of study, but I would say that not all of them are very helpful. Some are consumed with their own separate research or are not able to bring their "intellectual level" down to that of an undergraduate student. The Political Science Department has many capable individuals, but as a whole, is not very resourceful compared to other departments at Penn State. However, I have had a wonderful experience with my Political Science Adviser who has been very helpful and patient with me.
Guys & Girls:
Penn State has a very diverse student population. You will be able to find people of every race, every interest, and every career path. You will never feel lonely here or have trouble finding someone to talk to. Because of the diversity, social life is very colorful at Penn State. If you're interested in meeting people through sports, Penn State Athletics and Intramural Sports offer many opportunities. Greek life is also very big at Penn State. If you prefer quieter methods of socialization, you can find various student groups at the campus Spiritual Center or at the Library. Many student relationships blossom in the hundreds of student organizations Penn State offers.
Off-Campus Housing:
Many choices and price ranges available depending on distance from school
We had the greatest Football Coach EVER in Joe Paterno. A true leader and character builder. He emphasized and focused on the importance of academics with his players... You could not do one without the other.
Beautiful in spring-fall, but winter was a bit treacherous and lasted a long time. It literally took a snow storm and LOTS of ice to shut down campus though
Party Scene:
Our school parties were well organized and safe, great social outlet
In Penn State, in order to get into the major, you need to meet certain requirements, such requirements might include prerequisite courses, GPA, or internships.
Actuarial Mathematics is the discipline that applies mathematical and statistical methods to assess risk in the insurance and finance industries. In order to do good in this program, you have to be really good with math.
I am studying for Actuarial Mathematics at the Penn State University. I chose the program because I really like math, I think that is also the reason why I am doing fairly good in the major. My goal is to have a career in the insurance industry or the finance industry. I believe the program can prepare me well.
The Penn State University is one of the best public university in the nation. It has a very diverse community, you can meet people from all around the world. The professors at the university are very knowlegeable and helpful. They are willing to help students outside the classroom.
The catabus system is pretty good. I didn't use it a lot but it always was there if I needed it.
Health & Safety:
They try their best to keep students safe at Penn State. I like that you have to swipe into your building and there are sites all over the place if you need a police escort home. I never had to use the health service center but my roommate did and she was pleased with their help.
I'm incredibly pleased with the education program at Penn State so far. I believe that I'm taking the classes that I need to succeed and everyone is very pleasant and willing to help.
Drug Safety:
Look in the right places and Drugs are pretty rampant. The reason being is roughly half of campus lives off-campus and so drug possession is not monitored, but it is there. Smoking pot is common and drinking can be rampant on some nights.
Greek Life:
I was not very involved in Greek life, but we have a ton of chapters on campus. There is a Greek life for everything, including some multi-cultural greek houses.
Guys & Girls:
The school is big, boasting an equally large population as well so there is someone for everyone. There are the drop dead gorgeous as well as the geeky/shy/nerdy to plain strange. You have to look. A lot of them are from Pennsylvania and/or New Jersey area, but they are overall friendly and fun to be around.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Despite common reservations about the location and climate, most Penn State students are fiercely loyal to their alma mater. Penn State boasts one of the largest alumni populations in the United States; graduates are proud of their degrees, and employers recognize the University's name immediately. Although the campus is located in a very rural area, school is technologically up-to-date and on the cutting-edge of current research.
Aside from academics, PSU is also known for its social scene, especially in relation to sports and parties. Nittany Lion football—home of the 2008 Big Ten Champions—is a national draw and a point of pride for both the University and the town of State College. For anyone interested in playing or watching varsity sports, PSU is a top choice. Penn State has also been ranked highly by many polls and "party school" surveys as one of the top party schools in the nation. While it certainly isn't the wildest town, these rankings are definitely accurate. The small-town setting and large-school atmosphere makes for little else in the way of entertainment, so it can be hard to avoid encountering the party scene during your time as a student. Still, the mix of work and leisure seems to work well for most of the student body, and academic standards at Penn State remain relatively high. It's easy to spend four years at Penn State as an ever-serious student, focused completely on whatever you choose to study. With so many opportunities to relax nearby, balance and moderation are some of the best skills to learn from your four years in college.

Focus on Weeks is multi-year
Tuesday is the day that all unsigned arbitration-eligible players exchange contract figures with their clubs.
The Brewers have five players remaining in arbitration -- first baseman Prince Fielder, second baseman Rickie Weeks, right-hander Shaun Marcum, left-hander Manny Parra and right-hander Kameron Loe.
Assistant general manager Gord Ash said all talks he has had with Weeks' agent, Greg Genske, have been for multi-year deals. Ash said he and Genske hadn't talked about a one-year deal despite the looming arbitration deadline.
"We've focused exclusively on a multi-year deal," said Ash. "We've never discussed a one-year deal. I'm not concerned about it. One way or the other, it will get resolved."
Ash said he had a "brief conversation" with Genske over the weekend but had no feeling that a deal was near.
"I really can't tell you," said Ash. "I haven't gotten any feedback from him since then. We've exchanged proposals over the past few weeks."
One of the difficulties in reaching a deal with Weeks is that there are no real comparables because he had injury-plagued seasons until 2010, when he finally stayed healthy and had a nice year (29 HRs, 83 RBI, 112 runs scored). Weeks made $2.75 million last season and is eligible for arbitration for the last time prior to free agency.
Second baseman Dan Uggla, in his final year of arbitration, signed a five-year, $62 million deal recently with Atlanta but Ash said he isn't a true comparable to Weeks because Uggla has been a prolific home run hitter for five years. Uggla has totaled 154 homers with 465 RBI and a .837 OPS over those five years.
"Until I looked at it, I didn't really have a true appreciation of what Uggla has done," said Ash. "His numbers have a historic significance for a second baseman. We love Rickie but he's not in that elite class yet. Not many second basemen ever have done what Uggla has done."
Of course, that won't stop Genske from using Uggla as a comparable in negotiations.
General manager Doug Melvin, who is handling the Fielder negotiations, has taken the opposite tact with agent Scott Boras, discussing only a one-year deal in Fielder's last year of arbitration. Melvin tried last year to work out a multi-year deal but got nowhere with Boras.
Asked if he'd ever try again to talk multi-year with Boras, Melvin said, "I don't want to comment on that. We're focusing on one year now."
Melvin met with Boras over the weekend in Los Angeles while attending a professional scouts dinner. I asked Melvin is there was any chance of reaching a deal with Fielder, who made $10.5 million last year, before figures are exchanged Tuesday and he said, "I don't think so but you never know."

Who is this guy and why are people listening?
Forget Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity—Glenn Beck is the Right's new media darling and the unofficial leader of the conservative grassroots. Lampooned by the Left and Lionized by the far Right, his bluster-and-tears brand of political commentary has commandeered attention on both sides of the aisle.
Glenn Beck has emerged over the last decade as a unique and bizarre conservative icon for the new century. He encourages his listeners to embrace a cynical paranoia that slides easily into a fantasyland filled with enemies that do not exist and solutions that are incoherent, at best. Since the election of President Barack Obama, Beck's bombastic, conspiratorial, and often viciously personal approach to political combat has made him one of the most controversial figures in the history of American broadcasting.
In Common Nonsense, investigative reporter Alexander Zaitchik explores Beck's strange brew of ratings lust, boundless ego, conspiratorial hard-right politics, and gimmicky morning-radio entertainment chops.
- Separates the facts from the fiction, following Beck from his troubled childhood to his recent rise to the top of the conservative media heap
- Zaitchik's recent three-part series in Salon caused so much buzz, Beck felt the need to attack it on his show
- Based on Zaitchik's interviews with former Beck coworkers and review of countless Beck writings and television and radio shows
- Explains why Beck is always crying, why he has so many conservative enemies, why he's driven by conspiracy theories, and why he's dangerous to the health of the republic
- A contributing writer to Alternet, Zaitchik's reporting has appeared in the New Republic, the Nation, Salon, Wired, Reason, and the Believer
Beck, a perverse and high-impact media spectacle, has emerged as a leader in a conservative protest movement that raises troubling questions about the future of American politics.

Once these girls have taken a seat on Jake Malone's cum-stained casting couch, they quickly graduate from the realm of amateurs – thanks in large part to the hardcore poundings they receive from the Red Light boys.
Mike Stefano and John Strong plow through sultry blonde Maya Hills. The boys return to double penetrate and double vaginate Rebecca Steel. And the action stays intense when Malone steps in front of the camera to share Angelina Bonet with John Strong. Angelina gets tossed around like a little fuck toy, and both her mouth and ass take strong pounding.
Pre-nom Best Pro-Am Series.
Retailing: Either for your amateurs or Red Light sections.
