Kareena-Katrina battle for Shah Rukh's next?
Katrina Kaif is working with all the three Khans – Salman ('Ek Tha Tiger'), Aamir ('Dhoom 3′) and Shah Rukh (Yash Raj's romantic drama also starring Anushka Sharma) – and now there might be more starry associations up ahead for the actress. Apparently, she'd been approached to star in Rohit Shetty's next opposite SRK, but the twist in the tale is that Kareena Kapoor is also supposedly keen on the same role.
Kareena is, of course, a Rohit Shetty favourite, having starred in the 'Golmaal' movies. But Kat's stock has risen tremendously after her consecutive hits ('Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' and 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara') and it is rumoured that she might be a better fit for the new film from the hotshot 'Singham' director. This new project is believed to be an action thriller.
Meanwhile, Kareena is currently celebrating the success of 'RA.One' in which she starred opposite Shah Rukh. Bebo and SRK are close friends, and he has admitted that she got the heroine's role in his home production simply because she said that she wanted it. Priyanka Chopra and Asin had been considered for the part in the early stages of conceptualisation for 'RA.One'.
So who will win this competition and star in Shah Rukh's next movie? Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor? Watch this space for updates.

In this second inaugural address, Obama the Candidate became Obama the President without a trace of the bait and switch to which too many citizens have become so accustomed that in their cynicism they cease to vote at all. He spoke as a leader who has stopped splitting differences and is prepared to make choices and fight for them -- together as We the People if possible, alone as Obama the President if not.
In fact, Monday's speech felt as if after four frustrating years of trying to appease his opponents, Barack Obama had finally met Machiavelli one night in the Lincoln Bedroom and learned that when faced with two equally powerful opposing forces, a president must choose, or both will attack him. He sounded like a leader who knows now that the difference between making a choice and making love is that decisions don't feel better the longer you can draw them out.
As Obama goes from celebration to celebration, his supporters and his opponents have a much clearer idea of what he will do tomorrow, and for the next 1,000-plus days he is president.
This time when he tells banks and insurance companies that "a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play," they will do well to believe him. Because even with all the cash he collected to fill the coffers of his campaign, Monday's speech makes it clear he will not let it line the coffin of his presidency.
It betrays no security measures to mention that the Secret Service chooses oddly accurate code words for the presidents it protects.
After Obama's first inauguration, that could have been "dancer." After Monday's address, it could legitimately consider ''leader." If the president is able to act in accordance with his second inaugural address, it's not impossible now to imagine "Lincoln." He wasn't afraid to fight when the nation would not stay together.

Pruning the forum database.
My sister needs a cheap laptop, and the ASUS A53E-AS31 15.6-Inch looks pretty good to me, from the specs. But Intel graphics have been a PITA with Linux in the past. Is that still the case, or did the open-source drivers fix the problem? The CPU is a 2.3GHz Intel Core i3 2350M Processor, which I assume has the integrated graphics chip. The specs for this machine are way more than she needs, actually, for browsing, email, and maybe light old games and some photo manipulating. Any opinions? Any thoughts about something better in the under US$600 range?
At some point Intel graphics were notoriously difficult with Linux drivers. Now they seem to be doing good open ones, according to stuff I've read, but I have no experience with them. Haven't been keeping up with notebook developments in quite a while. Other than that, I've always liked Asus stuff, too.
Linux supportA very recent Linux distribution with kernel 2.6.33 and Intel Xorg driver 2.11 or newer is recommended.Note that XVideo (Xv) playback at certain frame sizes does not work properly unless you have at least version 2.12 of the Intel Xorg driver.Desktop Effects do not work in Ubuntu 10.10 (at least, on an X220). They work fine in Ubuntu 12.04 (also on an X220).
Thanks horusfalcon, It does help. I guess I mainly needed some assurance from somebody who had used this setup.

MOMSnext eNewsletter - April 2012
I have a love/hate relationship with Wii Fit Plus. So when my 10-year-old asked if I'd work out with him, I agreed, for his sake. He's strengthening his abs for swim competition. But I really don't like discussing my body measurements with an annoying, sassy, animated fitness board that tracks me like an FBI agent. My session started with the board saying it had been 385 days since my last workout, and I'd missed all my fitness goals. Well I've been doing Pilates at the rec center, and I'm not setting any new goals, I said to myself. I'm a mom. I'm busy. And why am I talking to this inanimate object? Then the nagging unit said it hadn't seen my husband either and how did I think his fitness goals were going? I click I don't know, and the board scolded me. Seriously, talk to him. Then we played a balance game. While jogging on the obstacle course and dodging giant, swinging boulders, I accidentally dove off the side (repeatedly) instead of jumping over the platform. My son laughed hysterically. The Wii Fit scolded me again for jumping up above the board. That's a no-no; you must jump without leaving the surface. OK, I've had enough of these annoying comments. That is, until the Wii Fit called me a body builder during strength training. Ha ha! Oh yeah, I'm liking Wii Fit now.

"Close to the french quarter"
The hotel is close to the french quarter ouir main objective for this trip. I would not refer the hotel as a boutique hotel! A standard hotel without any different character than a classical one. we didn't check when booking if breakfast or not! quite strange in a boutique hotel! not expected to go outside to have it...Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

Safe in room inoperable. All hallways temp at about 50 degrees. Room was nice and clean.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Pretty good for the money."
Pros: great location, nice modern feel, comfy beds, friendly front desk. Cons: needs a vent/fan in the bathroom, valet is slow getting your car (plan to call for car 30 mins before instead of the 20mins they quote).Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Would stay again"
Hotel was very modern and clean. rooms were a bit small but no one goes to New Orleans to stay in their hotel for long. Staff was very friendly and very helpful. Definitely one of the best places I've stayed in New Orleans. Would recommend to any weekend partiers looking for a nice clean place to pass out.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Clean but Awkward...slow internet that wasn't free"
The hotel was nice and the room was very clean. The only strange thing was the room had a strange layout which put the TV in an inlet. The only place you could view it was from the bed, making the Couch and desk unable to see it. Overall the hotel was nice and the location had easy access to CBD and French Quarter.

We were pleasantly surprised by the Royal St. Charles. It has been renovated and looks good. Our room was very comfortable and the air conditioning was awesome which is critical in New Orleans. We usually stay n the French Quarter and this hotel is one block across Canal Street but it was very handy to the places we wanted to visit in the French Quarter.

I was surprised to arrive at this hotel and to be charge a $9.95 convenience charge for each night that I stayed there. The front desk staff told me it was mandatory.

"Pretty good, but expensive"
While the Royal St. Charles was clean and pretty conveniently located, it didn't really offer any of the extras or amenities I'd usually associate with hotels at its price point; I actually needed one of those little sewing kits, and there weren't any in the room. That being said, the staff was really nice and the location offered access to multiple […] neighborhoods: The Quarter and the Marigny on foot, the Garden District, Tulane, and The Bywater via streetcar stops right outside the hotel's doors. We didn't have much use for the CBD. The room was comfortable, but the walls are paper thin. Also, any hotel with mandatory "value-added" charges (for wi-fi and phone service) gets rated down, in my opinion. Why not just figure that charge into the cost of the rooms and avoid disgruntled guests? Uzziniet vairākPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Well decorated, don't try to sleep"
The hotel has been renovated very cleverly. Every inch of the place was thought out precisely. The rooms are as small as you'll ever see this side of Japan. However, the design works well. Sort of cross between Ikea & Asian design. Now, the bad. The street cars pass right out in front...ALL NIGHT & DAY. IT IS LOUD & will wake you up. The other street […] noises actually seem quieter during the day, than at night. This place would be more appealing to stay out all night & sleep during the day. The other thing that bothered me was that I was forced to pay an extra ten dollars a day for WiFi. This was never disclosed before booking. I don't even need the WiFi, but still had to pay for it.

"Good value"
I wanted to check in to a hotel to cap off a great few days of staying with a friend in New Orleans. Royal St. Charles was a great value. Yeah, the queen standard room was just a bit cramped, but if you're traveling by yourself, it was just fine. Seemed to have been recently renovated and modernized, so that was nice. Housekeeping was a little annoying […] in the morning, not respecting my do not disturb sign, and even just letting themselves in even after I asked them to come back in an hr 5 mins before.

"Noisiest hotel ever, rude-ish staff"
I won't stay here again. I'll find another hotel to try. Night 1 I didn't sleep because the pillows they provide are stuffed to the height of about 3 pillows. The next day I requested a normal size pillow. Did I also mention the street car drove in front of my room. So I hear it all night long, every night. Then night 3 there was rain and thunder and […] you better believe I heard that through the paper thin walls and not sound proof windows. The rooms were clean but the staff was also a bit rude. The girl who checked me in looked bored, didn't make eye contact and was less than thrilled with her job or life in general. They have a coffee shop in the lobby but no bar to hang out at.

A depressing song about suicide/stolen guitar amplifiers. Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things are not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye |

Firstly, thank you in advance for reading and any advice. I am a DIY novice at best. Basically, if it takes cutting with a saw, it is beyond me. (Although I am willing to try). Five years ago, we put bought a house and put in a favorite nice faux-granite floating laminate floor in our new kitchen. We like it very much. And have done much to improve the rest of the house, here and there, since. But now we have a desire to tackle a job that appears to be beyond us. The same kitchen that has the grey "granite" floor also has a very bad blue/white tile backsplash that stretches from counter to wall cabniet - a full 16". I desperately want to replace it, but the idea of popping off a bunch of existing tiles and replacing them genuinely scares me. I had considered some sort of self-adhesive replacement material right over the top of what I already have, but am not finding anything that looks reasonable; lots of bad reviews. I am open to suggestions. Also, to be clear, these tiles are trimmed to the left and right in cheery trim to match the cabinets. This is something I would like to keep, but it would also be something that would cover the end edges of something that I did put over the top. Secondly, the horizontal surfaces of the counters themselves are a worn, bland white laminate. The edges are again a cherry trim that I would like to keep. I am not sure if there is a good way to replace or update these surfaces. When I looked at a "faux-granite" paint, it looked kind of cheap. Again, I would love some suggestions. So here I am, looking for help, motivation, suggestions... anything. Thanks in advance! - Andy | |||
The backsplash part of your project is not very difficult and could be a successful DIY project - depending on your skills. Fixing or replacing the countertops however, is going to take a pro. Since the two are tied together and is sounds like even the backsplash may be beyond your skills, why not start by getting an estimate or two for new countertops and backsplash. At worst, a high price could be a big motivator to learn the skills needed to do it yourself. At best, you could get a professional job at a reasonable cost. Jaybee | ||||
Yeah, that is my sense as well. The good news is that we can take a crack at something, and if it does not work, then the pros can come in and redo everything from scratch. So let's put aside the counters. What are some creative alternatives for the tile backslash, other than pulling it all down and putting new stuff back up? | ||||
The simplest creative thing with backsplash tile is to install it on a 45 degree angle. While this does require more tile cutting and a little more waste, the diagonal lines tend to make the backsplash area taller and more open. Beyond that, you can always use random decorative tile or a cleaver border effect. Jaybee | ||||
I'd concider replacing the counter tops first. Reason being any tops you get will have to match and the back splash may have to be redone once the new tops in place because of differant heights. Take a look at some of the tops Home Depot is now carrying. They have a roman ogee front and back lip and look very much like real granite. joecaption | ||||

I think it's funny that Howard seems to find it unbelievable that these guys don't know what he said on ESPN the day before. He comes across as a bit of a primadonna.
I never liked SVG, but maybe it was just for his penchant for wearing short sleeved shirts under his suits and playing Jameer Nelson. I might now have to reevaluate.
I've seen 2nd graders squirm less when asking for their missing homework. The opening hug was so cool........Howard really thought one hug would clear up the mess.........Gundy leaving him at that moment was like watching a son-in-law leave his mother-in-law on a sinking ship............
Stan Van Gundy liberates himself in exposing Dwight Howard's power play for a new Magic coach - NBA - Yahoo! Sports Cool part of the article........ "For the first time, Howard realized that he was driving down LeBron Street, realized the criticism that was coming his way for forcing a trade, and he hit the brakes. He slammed it into reverse, turned around and did the one thing that could give him instant gratification: Stay one more year, get a standing ovation in Orlando, and restart this circus next summer."
Believe it or not, Howard loves Orlando and he loves the Magic. Not just being the leader, but that he fits in. He doesn't want to leave, but he has no choice from a career perspective. Orlando has ****ed about far too much and this isn't the first time. History is repeating itself and Dwight has no choice but to leave. They should have traded him and gotten rid of Turkoglu. He walks next year, so no one is putting anything on the table, except for the teams that don't have a player to draw him. He is going somewhere with a superstar player. I don't hold his actions against him, just like I don't hold Lebrons against him, both times, it was a case of the front office failing to pay true on promises that they had made. Look at Deron Williams, the same thing is happening there as well.
Both sides have problems here. The Magic failed to get adequate talent around him, and worse, they handcuffed themselves by overpaying for the talent they did get. Remember Kobe wanting to be traded? The Lakers moved promptly to get him the help he wanted and they won back to back championships with that core. Now he's a Laker for life for a certainty. Dwight, while he certainly had the right to want out, the spectacle and season-long wishy washiness was painful to watch. It was a huge distraction. And now he's fighting with his coach. On the other hand, the Magic not just cutting their losses and trading him in exchange for another year of all this on the off chance they can guilt Dwight into staying is foolish. But part of that's on Dwight too. His seeming indecision played into all of that. These guys brought all this misery on themselves.
Kobe has a no trade clause and has backed himself into amnesty candidate corner. Lots more 30% shooting? Lots more reasons to cut that big, long, untradable contract from the books. Coaches always have problems with their players, it's not exactly a well kept secret. It's hardly as malignant as ESPN would make it out to be. These are professionals. They go out there and play regardless of whether they like the coach or not. As for Dwight, he needs to be honest. He needs to come out and set the record straight. Personal problems with the coach. Fine. Admit them, but reinforce that you are professional and will act like one. You going to leave the city because you want to play with Deron Williams et al? Fine. No one is going to blame you for wanting to win. As you say, his 'indicisveness' is what is making this everyone cringe.
Re Kobe, I agree he's on the down side of his career, but the Lakers' response to his trade demand was much better than the Magic's was to Dwight's. They certainly didn't reek of as much desperation, at least as far as I can remember. Re Van Gundy and Dwight, I don't think airing their dirty laundry is the way to go as I think it just exacerbates the problem, and both need to shut it and go about their business, I agree. They can hate each other all they want in private. SVG deciding to unburden himself really didn't solve anything. Agreed on everything else.
It would be pretty cool if the Lakers amnestied Kobe and the Heat signed him thru the auction to improve their bench scoring.
It did precisely the opposite of solving problems. But it's out there now and needs to be dealt with. It isn't going away. There isn't enough for sports journalists to write about beyond the Heat losing regular season games. To make it go away, they need to address the heart of the problem. Whether that is admitting problems on camera, or the Magic front office telling Howard that they are sick of his demands, either way it needs to be ended. I don't usually buy into the 'distracted professionals' thing, but it seems to have an impact on Howard - maybe because of his personality, I don't know. Kobe has spent LeBrons entire career talking him down. I have nothing good to say about the guy. As much as this would be hilarious it would never happen 1- He won't take an MLE from the Heat and thats all they can offer 2 - The heat don't need scorers, they need defenders in the paint. Kobe can't defend anywhere. 3 - Kobe is worse that AI in his inability to sit on the bench. Playing behind Wade is essential the bottom of the depth chart. 4 - He wants that scoring record. If he is still in LAL next year, I fully expect his usage rate to climb towards 35%+, his TS% to fall dramatically and his shots per game rapidly increase. This is the last year that he has any half decent chance of getting a ring with the team around him. Pau ain't getting younger, and Bynum is becoming more and more irrational and petty. 5 - The world will implode with the gravitational pull of the black holes of both Lebron and Kobe on the court at any one time. These reasons don't just cover the Heat. Putting aside my personal feelings towards Kobe, if he became a UR FA, as a GM of virtually any team in the league, he would be very low on my chase list.
I realize it's never going to happen and that it wouldn't be a wise move but when someone is amnestied there is an silent auction and the team that wins the bidding gets the player and he has to play there or not play at all. Like Billups to the Clippers. Atleast that's how I think it works but I haven't looked it up. I don't think the Heat have enough cap space to even enter the auction with a veteran minimum bid so it's just a experiment of thought. The Heat organization should officially state something like "We are pleased to announce the signing of Kobe Bryant. He's will split the minutes as a spot minute shooter with James Jones and if he refuses to play here, we have constrained the competition in LeBron James hunt for the scoring record.". I'd like to see more drama like the Howard/SVG situation. Stuff like this spice up the season. I may be a petty guy but I enjoy a little soap opera between (and during) the games.
Go Stanley!! It's the Diet Pepsi generation. Stan Van Gundy's revolution may spread after one swig of a Diet Pepsi - NBA - Yahoo! Sports Even the Detroit Pistons are a good example: Joe Dumars was untouchable for years, and then Bill Davidson died, and soon the inmates ran the asylum.
I think you have to give Kobe a chance to fight it out in training camp with Mario Chalmers for a starting position.
Also usage rate and shots taken. If Villenueva jacked 30 shots a game I'm sure he could be a big time scorer too
Before Charlie can jack up 30 shots a game he needs to master the clothes-on-shower-and-sauna. Then he needs a nap. Then we can talk about getting him 30 shots a game.

I'm looking for a guild that is active during prime time EST. I play mostly nights & weekends (8 PM to 10 PM weeknights & until 12 AM weekends, but OK with playing later on weekends to finish out a dungeon run or some other event). My wife plays as well and plays until about an hour or two later at night than I do (I have to get up earlier for work in the morning than she does).
We have a 9 yr old child that is interested in GW2 and wants to play as well (may eventually join whatever guild we join, but likes to watch us play regardless). Definitely not interested in bad language or in making others feel small; respect for fellow guild members is important. We are currently on Sanctum of Rall server but would be OK with switching to Tarnished Coast or possibly another NA server for the right guild. We are mainly PvErs & I enjoy WvW with the right group, but neither of us is into PvP.
Ideally, we are looking for a guild with somewhere between 50-100 members. As noted, clean chat is a priority and we'd prefer to join a guild with an active voice chat. We are in a small guild now, but it's too small and many of the more active players get in game just as we are logging out (and many belong to more than one guild and may be online but not representing our current guild). Our current guild uses TeamSpeak 3 but we've used Skype (voice chat only) and Vent in the past.
We're looking for a new primary guild to join that plays actively when we do. My wife may join a secondary guild to play during the day occasionally (with her EU friends as most NA servers are not very active during the day), but she would guest on that server (whenever ArenaNet finally decides to implement that feature already) and if the new guild had active members during the day too, she wouldn't join another guild at all. We are not big believers in joining a guild where everyone has alternate guilds and no one online is representing ours.

The all new 2013 Honda Accord is Honda's most important vehicle EVER. That's right, EVER! It comes after lackluster reviews of the latest cost-reduced mind-numbing Civic. It enters the mid-size car product segment where the oldest high volume competitor was launched as a 2011 model in early 2010 (Hyundai Sonata) and each new model is more impressive than the one that came before it… Toyota Camry, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Passat, Nissan Altima, the coming-soon Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu and next year's Mazda6. Each new mid-size entry is better, more finessed, more technologically capable and available with a wider range of features than ever before. The question is "Did Honda bring their 'A Game' to the 2013 Accord, or is it another misstep like the Civic?"
Bring their "A Game"? Wow, did they! This Accord is a take-no-prisoners attempt by Honda to reclaim leadership in the premium mid-size car class. With this car, Honda appears to have its MOJO back!

I really like the organization Parents Circle Families Forum – they do good work which mostly revolves around the stories and narratives of those that have had families killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Recently at the Georgetown from Conflict to Peace conference where I was presenting a poster (which I will post here) and an essay on the subject "Selling Peace" applying social marketing and transmedia storytelling to the field – I chatted with Ms. Robi Damilin, head of PR and an international speaker. Her son was a victim in the conflict.
She stopped at my poster and was interested in my idea and said – here look we have a new initiative coming up on the 14th of September 2011…What kind of marketing plan would you do? She handed me a flyer with a flag and a bag of blood (you can see it on the website listed below)
The plan is highlighted here:
http://bloodrelations.org/#About it was the winning idea by Jean Christopher-Royer from Paris France in a "idea contest" called "The Impossible Brief" you can check out their web page here:http://www.theimpossiblebrief.com/ put on by the advertising company Saatchi and Saatchi Israel. The quest was to find a creative idea to solve the conflict in Israel and Palestine. So far so good, I love creativity and innovation and there is no better way than casting a wide net asking the people on the ground. Jean Christopher-Royer's idea was to stage a huge blood drive in Israel and Palestine and do a major blood transfer. the "theory of change" if you will is asking "would you kill someone that has your blood running thru your veins?"
My response…hmmmm…thinking???
Well, my encounter with Robi got a bit awkward, you see when I started asking conflict analysis and social marketing questions, there were few real answers. The dilemma is that the idea came out of innovation, not at out of analysis of the conflict and situation on the ground – both important factors in gathering that formative research that is so vital to creating a solid participatory peacebuilding social marketing campaign. We were looking for a solution without saying exactly what the problem is. Solving conflict is a huge problem, and it cannot be solved with one initiative. We have to do the doable.
Anyway back at the conference…Although having traveled to Israel and Palestine and being very familiar with the conflict I wanted to know how she saw it. so i asked formative research questions to her (I had about 5 minutes to come up with the a genius plan that will be able to compete with a sleek advertising campaign (Robi's joke, not mine)
is there a lack of blood in the blood banks in either Israel or Palestine? who's the target group you are reaching? Who will donate blood? where will the blood go? Who are you partners? is this symbolic or a real initiative? well to be quite honest the answers were a bit disappointing. Actually I believe I annoyed Robi.
You see I wondered if besides a sleek marketing and advertising campaign, an awesome prezi website and the donation of blood from those in the "Parents Circle" (who all are highly involved participants) if the campaign would or could go any farther. I know that without direction as to who in this conflict you are trying to reach? (the general public is not a target audience – one can hope to reach all of them, but without segmenting them- a one hit wonder will not do it). I questioned what moves these targeted "conflict consumers? to act? what are their needs? wants? desires? are we trying to change their attitudes about the other? their beliefs? their behavior? Giving blood is painful, takes time, energy, good-will… for all these things there are competing behaviors… how will the campaign make sure that the benefits outweigh the costs? The campaign has to be ready to answer these questions: What will happen to the blood? Will it be given to an attempted suicide bomber? will it be given to that soldier or settler I see every day on my farm?
While I can see this is well intentioned, with the information I have (which may be limited) I found the project very superficial.
Because without:
1. good conflict analysis
2. participatory formative research (what does the target group think about themselves, their needs, wants etc.)
3. target audience segmentation according to demographics- psycho graphics – age – religion etc., marketing strategy
what is the:
4. price: (cost of giving blood?)
5. product: (do you want the blood? do you want the target group to change their attitudes about the other) do you want your target group to change what they believe about the other?)
5. place: (where do you want them to get the product you are selling? if blood – where do they go to give it? if its an attitude or belief change – tell/show them what you want on a website, brochure, poster etc. give them safe space to practice the new beliefs and behaviors.)
6. Promotion: what are the offerings? what will they get with giving blood, changing beliefs, or attitudes – this must be a realistic benefit -(PEACE on earth and good will towards man is not a realistic benefit!) Perhaps a shirt, their name on the website, a chance to go and physically bring the blood to the other side- this is largely based on knowing your target conflict consumer and what moves them to action- hence the need for segmentation and formative research)
7. Partners: what groups are endorsing this intervention? can the targeted conflict consumers trust them?
And last but not least:
8. Continual monitoring and evaluation: how are your targeted conflict consumers reacting? have their needs, wants and desires been met? have they changed with the changing conflict dynamics? is your intervention reaching them? are they doing the desired behavioral change? Are they buying the PEACE your are selling?
Instead of casting a net into the sea and hoping and wishing that someone will bite, peacebuilding initiatives can and should be strategic, thoughtful and have greater breadth and depth in reaching their target group. This can be done with the most innovative ideas – like applying transmedia storytelling and truly making the whole experience participatory!
I don't want to be too hard since some of the things mentioned above are done on the website – however without a strategy it is (to use another fishing analogy-there has not been enough in this post) like throwing out a line without knowing what your going to do once that fish latches on. Again, I want to highlight that i may not have all the details, my ideas are based on my conversation with Robi (PR person and speaker), the websites and what has been done so far. Please take a look at the website, even virtually donate blood…I DID! (still not sure if there was a point besides awareness/advertising the campaign) and tell me what you think!? I have added the Blood Relations video below for your viewing:

Hickey Freeman opened its third company store a few weeks ago, in the Four Seasons Hotel complex on Market Street in San Francisco. The American suit maker's new store follows two Manhattan outlets and is to be followed in turn by a Chicago location this year.
I haven't owned any HF clothing since I was a young man but I've kept a soft spot in my heart for the brand. And you can see why from the display of clothes for boys. It almost makes me wish I had a child the right age for that stuff. Almost, but not quite.
I was a little disappointed in the selection. I know the company makes some great looking tweed suitings but what was evident instead were the same racks of year-round clothing that they sell at Nieman Marcus. But I guess I can't blame them for stocking what sells, and there was a good looking seersucker in the store window.
I wish the new store well and I'll definitely be back to window shop. Turns out there's a delightful little cream puff store a few doors away that's also nice to window shop.

Hickey Freeman Moves West

Though not directly related to today's posting, I thought I'd mention that Ben Silver held its semi-annual warehouse sale last Saturday. As usual, it was a great chance to pick up some fine neckties. One item worth mentioning is their paisley print on gummed silk. Seems to me this tie is a little difficult to find these days, and I was glad to see Ben Silver carries it. It's also available on their website's factory outlet section as the "Madder Paisley Tie." If paisley isn't your preference, they offer a "Madder Geometric Tie" version as well.

When I think of Hickey Freeman, I think of classic ivy league style. I don't own anything from hickey, but I love their hard nosed reputation for sticking to classic style.

But richard, have you seen the "Hickey" line HF has branded?

It looks like a nice store - and similar in layout to the 5th Avenue Store. I sometimes walk into the 5th Ave location but have yet to buy anything. Maybe something will catch my eye one day. I still recall the New York Yankees baseball announcers on the radio say Hickey Freeman was the official clothier of the Yankees or something similar to that.
Thanks for the post Will. - January 18, 2008 at 8:17:00 AM PST

Nice post, Will. Hickey Freeman is a wonderful brand. I have two HF suits, including one in a nice lightweight tweed. I had my eye on a HF sport jacket in a beautifiul blue windowpane pattern; sadly they don't make it in a Long. Their plaid suits and sport jackets are very attractive.

Was the cream puff shop the SF outlet of Beard Papas? If so, I hope you did more than window shop.

I don't remember the name of the shop. Guess I'll have to go back. :-)

Will, thank you for the post. I shall be visiting there in a week's time when we visit San Francisco. My wife, of course, will be in the cream puff shop, while I shop. She is expecting and thanks you immensely for your recommendation.

Beard Papa's is in the basement food court of Westfield Center. A very tasty treat! This post reminded me to stop by.

Around the Festival site many different spiritual groups offer hospitality and sanctuary, and some provide welfare for those in need. You will not be expected to join in any acts of worship or other activities run by the tents, although you are welcome to join in if you wish. They are all present at the Festival to offer a service, and are open to everyone regardless of faith - or lack thereof.
Near the welfare at the farmhouse and the main medical centre, the Church offers hospitality and a welcome to anyone. They also offer free arts and craft and face painting. The tent is run by Christians of all flavours and services take place during the day, every day at 11am and 5pm. On Sunday there is a Roman Catholic Mass at 9:30am and Holy Communion for all at 11 noon. Simple sleeping arrangements at the tent are available for anyone in need, just drop in. Come and chill out.
The Krishnas offer food and some simple welfare. They are situated in Holts camping field, near Oxylers Bridge.
The Jewish tent is located in Holts camping field, near the Glade. It is a small tent which allows members of the faith to meet up on the Friday and celebrate together.
- Muslim Prayer
Jumu'ah (Juma) will be prayed on Friday June 25, 2011 at 1:30pm. Any muslims, or others who are interested in learning more about Islam, are welcome to join in reading Namaz. This is not an official arrangement and there are no facilities, therefore it will be everyone's responsibility to ensure their own wudhu and to bring a prayer mat. I intend to read Namaz in the Healing Field and will call Adhan at 1:15pm, but plan to be there well before. If you would like any further information or wish to make contact before going please email me at email@example.com.
Here you will find people of many different spiritual persuasions. The Buddhist Meditations centre, Hindu groups, Taoist groups, different pagan groups and the Coracle, run by the Quest Community of Glastonbury. They are on hand before, during and after the Festival, to offer a safe space, and to help in whatever way they can.
Based in the Fields of Avalon, the Iona Community has been a regular at the Festival for many years now. They are a dispersed Christian ecumenical community working for peace and social justice, rebuilding of community and the renewal of worship. They offer a drop-in centre for conversation, counselling and worship and also provide information Fair Trading, non-violence and action against poverty.
This branch of the the Twelve Tribes Communities run a wonderful cafe in the Acoustic Field, providing organic, vegetarian food and companionship.
The transworld arts collective known as Elemental - intoxicated in the glory - offer a dizzy mix of holy sofas, smoky prayers, plump technology & gritty love. Veneration of the strange & singular unfolds over the weekend as elemental continue their multi-coloured quest for an eternal perspective on life. Elemental can be found in Holts Field on the right hand side of Clapps Causeway, just before you go under the Greenfields entrance arch.

After spending most of his spare time over the last 2 years in the studio, one of global dance music's most iconic and popular figures, Judge Jules, is to release his first artist album, Proven Worldwide. Taking the opportunity to thoroughly road test every production, Jules has crafted an album that utilises all he has learned about dance music during his enviable career. To mark this milestone in his career he also let the cameras follow him for an exclusive additional DVD, giving a tantalising glimpse into his fascinating life.
Charismatic and creative behind the decks, Jules has built up a huge worldwide following, thanks to his proven ability to rock dancefloors, from the smallest, sweaty clubs to the biggest festivals. His BBC Radio 1 show is one of the most influential on the airwaves, regularly breaking new dance music and providing the soundtrack to a Saturday night for over 5 million listeners.
I Like Music caught up with Jules whilst he was sifting through some of the hundreds of mp3s he receives to chat about his debut artist album Proven Worldwide, new single Ordinary Day, Ibiza and DJing.
"I like music because… there's nothing else better to bury yourself in." Judge Jules
ILM: So, a single and album coming. First single from the album will be Ordinary Day. Can you give us your own personal description of the track's whole vibe?
Jules: Ordinary Day is just a nice song. Ulitimately it's a love song, but quite a sedate cool love song. They are kind of telling a story but they are not telling a story.
ILM: Your debut artist album, Proven Worldwide is out in October. Which track did you have the most fun making?
Jules: Probably the track 'Keep Me Running' as I did the vocals on it. I sang the vocal as a guide for someone else and it was one of the miraculous moments where it came out sounding allright. It was only really at the very last minute we decided to keep my vocal on it and not drag another singer in. I've written quite alot of guide vocals in the past and gone into the studio to sing them, and then pass a lyrics sheet and the rather embarassing vocal that I've recorded over to them to learn the song, but it was one of those ones that ended up sounding good and not so frightfull that I'm worried the recordings will get into the wrong hands. They'd be fodder for Radio 1 christmas parties, and I'd get laughed at a lot [ilm & Jules laugh]
ILM: I wanted to ask you about Keeps On Slipping as well; you did the vocals on that track too ...
Jules: I did yeh, that was done once I'd got over this very major mile stone I didn't really mind doing any more. Againd, its all quite repeated, thats more of a repeated harmony I suppose than 'Keep Me Running' which is more of a lead thing.
ILM: As a DJ you obviously play quite a bit of other people's music, and you have done a lot of production before, but Proven Worldwide has been written, composed and created by you. How does it differ playing others tracks to your own on the radio and in the club?
Jules: Yes I have made lots of stuff before, but its always been me and somebody else, its not been under my own name. I couldn't make something with someone else and then put my hand on my heart and say it was my own unique work. But with this I can. I just think, as a DJ you make records for a number of reasons. It's something that most leading DJs do. Most of us have got studios; you do it because you want to make your own exclusive tracks, and make your sets different from other people's. You might do it because of the vaguerys of the way music turns up, you can wait weeks and weeks for music you like, and then all of sudden an absolute flurry come along, so very ofen I've gone into the studio at the tail end of one of these periods where their hasn't been anything of a particular genre that I like, and therefore thought 'f*** it, I'd better make it myself to kinda fill that gap. I didn't really set out with the intention of creating an album. Being in the studio is my day job, or about 3 days week day job, and some of the tracks are just for Dj sets and go no further, and this is a collection of the ones that stood the test of time and worked in every location I played them in, hence the album title.
ILM: Are there any particular records, maybe 1 or 2 tracks that will always make it into your record box?
Jules: Well in common with most Dj's these days I dont play records, I play digitally, I play CD's. I can't think of that many DJ's that play vinyl anymore. A couple of them might bring the odd bit of vinyl along to pretend, just to turn up with a record box, but you never see them playing them. I've been playing CD's for 3 years so you don't have to get rid of things so quick, like if you have to carry loads of vinyl. With CD's you can have 500 or 1000 tracks, and with some laptop programmes it can be a lot more. For some certain months there will be tracks you will play at every gig because they create the very best atmosphere, and generally speaking, the ones I play for the longest are the ones that I know least other DJ's have got, to a degree. Claim exclusivity to what you play.
ILM: You are one of the most important and relevant names/DJs in modern club culture. Everyone knows who you are. Are you able to smell the roses and enjoy your success?
Jules: Yeh, I wake up every morning and count myself lucky that I do the job that I always dreamt of doing, ever since my earliest memories. To that extent I'm never blase about what I'm doing, because so many people don't end up doing what they aspire to do from a very young age. So if that's smelling the roses, then yes, I'm like a florist. haha [ilm & Jules laugh]
ILM: A lot of the DJs I speak to tend to say the traveling can get tough. How do you deal with that side of DJing?
Jules: It is tough, I get about 200 flights a year and I've got 2 small kids and a missus, and I'm away from them quite a bit, so that's hard as well. There is a loneliness factor as well, when your trudging around on your own from airport to airport, it's not particularly glamourous. It's only when you're there doing the gig, and to an extent the socialising before and afterwards, that is really fun, but still the buzz of performing to a crowd and the joy of doing something I always dreamt of doing, ultimately makes it all worthwhile. DJ's are notoriously bad at maintaining relationships and what-have-you, but the grounding factor of having two little kids is very very important to me.
ILM: You talked of working with others earlier. Do you have any dream collaborations? Anyone you'd really love to work with?
Jules: It's difficult, because most of my boyhood idols were people who wouldn't necessarily work with dance music. I mean Paul Weller was a massive idol of mine when I was a kid; whether he would be an obvious candidate to work with is more debatable. I guess the ultimate people to work with are those you'd go weak at the knees if you ever got the oppourtunity to meet, which would actually make you very bad to do a co-production with. I think someone on equal footing.
ILM: Is there a piece of music making software and/or hardware could you not live without?
Jules: Yeah Logic, the sequencer program. Logic is the brains behind everything and most dance music producers at a professional level use either Logic or Cubase. Beyond that, we're moving into a world of plugins as opposed to the world of external synths; ideally you want to use both. There is no plugin or synth that is used on every single track, but obviously the sequencer is.
ILM: And can you describe the Judge Jules process of making such brilliant tunes?
Jules: I think the first thing you've got to do is go into the studio knowing what sort of track you want to make. On the album, some tracks are vocal, some are part vocal, some are slightly more techy, some are more trancey. You've got to have some sort of vague bluprint before you even start. If you just start tinkering away, you end up, more often than not, getting something very wishy-washy. For instance, if you know you're doing something more trancey, you wanna start with the chords and not be satisfied until you have a very memorable set of chords on exactly the right sound, and then build the track around there. Its kinda similar with the vocals too, but build the chord and then try and write the song. Don't go too far down the line of finished production until you've got the song element sorted out. Whereas, if it's a more groove based track, you could start with a drumbass upwards, but you have got to know what you are doing in the first place. I think having the idea is fundamentally the most important thing.
ILM: Definately, a project to work on.
ILM: Do you have advice for young singers/DJs/musicians starting out?
Jules: I guess the advice for DJ's has got to be make music and ideally promote your own parties. I think doing those two things are extremely important. When it comes to getting your music heard, the more you can do in terms of making direct connections with people, as opposed to sending out unsolicted demos, the better. I get over 300 pieces of music every week and I am forced, to a point, to employ somebody to filter them down to the tracks that are more suitable for my taste. There just wouldn't be the hours in the day to listen to 300 tracks a week. So, if youre making music, try and identify the label/DJ that would appear to be correct for that style of music and try and cultivate some kind of direct relationship with them. In some cases it will be quite easy and in some, a lot more difficult. Really, you are much more likely to get your music heard if you cultivate relationships rather than just whacking out demos.
ILM: What is in your CD player right now? What are you listening to for pleasure?
Jules: To be honest, throughout the summer at Judgement Sundays I play a funky set in the back room of our club as well as doing my main room set, and playing house is a bit of a hobby, a sideline to what I do in the main room, and I've actually recorded my set every week from the back room because its playing tunes that are different, I've been listening to those [Jules laughs] .. pretty much the whole summer in the car, you know, it's good listening music for Ibiza.
ILM: Can you describe your favourite place on earth?
Jules: It has to be Ibiza really. Not forgetting London. London has everything and Ibiza is pretty dead in the winter, althought I do go there frequently in the winter. I'll be going there probably 4 or 5 times before next season. I just love it, its got everything. We've got a house there with all the creature comforts. I dont have to travel with clothes because I've got a duplictate set out there, and decks, Sky TV, toys for my kids, you know, all the important things in life; big bed, shutters that keep all the daylight out [ilm & jules laugh]
ILM: all the essentials...
Jules: Yeah, decent sound system, swimming pool...
ILM: Sounds gorgeous, well earned mate.
Judges Jules debut solo-artist album Proven Worldwide is out on 9th October and Ordinary Day is out October 2nd both on Maelstrom Records.

My friend and travelling companion, Mitch Thomas, participated in the Joshua Roth New Talent Competition at the 2011 symposium. I was asked to shoot some before and after shots. Later I was asked to shoot the award presentations for the ABS Jounal. A representative from BCI asked to reprint these photos as well. The watermark at the bottom of the photos can be removed by me if any of these photos are to be used by ABS or BCI for print or web.
Appologies on the changes in exposure settings. The rooms were a bit anemic and shooting into the tree's canopies was difficult.
I'm glad we don't use a mailing list. If I'd been asked to post 36 photos and did so into all your email in-boxes, I'd be crucified.
