Vixen Of The Violin: The Anna Phoebe Column (No. 14)
This week, Anna Phoebe suffers on an EasyJet flight, gets to play at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and prepares to put on a spandex catsuit (calm down, fellas!). Check out all of Anna's previous columns here.
Summer is finally here!
I've spent much of the past couple of weeks in Berlin, cycling around in the 30c degree heat. Watched all three German World Cup games sitting out in the street cafes with fireworks – actually got quite into them and fully embraced my German half. I only felt like an England supporter during the Germany vs. Spain game, where Germany played like a bunch of scared children.
Surprisingly, I felt quite emotional when Germany lost – and I didn't know I had so many expletives in my German vocabulary. Must have been the Weiss Bier. Thankfully, now that the World Cup is over I can stop pretending to know ANYTHING about football and get back to music! Phew.
On Friday, July 2, Roxy Music played the 44th Montreux Jazz Festival – it was fantastic! The only direct flight between Berlin and Geneva was with EasyJet. As compensation, the Roxy management had gone all out and booked me the extra 'Speedy Boarding' pass – which is such a hilarious notion. I actually don't mind Easyjet at all – it's just the idea of this pretend 'superior class of being' which you get for paying a bit extra. All it means is you get to fight for your seat FIRST; a bit like being given a 10-second start in a particularly competitive school egg-and-spoon race. Anyway, I joined in and duly elbowed my way to the front (the violin case is a good block to stop people trying to barge in front of you) and managed to get the front row seat with extra legroom.
There was no champagne, but I did get a few extra smiles from the super-polite flight attendant who looked barely old enough to start shaving. Rather worryingly, he had problems putting on his safety vest during the safety procedure demonstrations. After two hours' delay, we took off, and after a scarily bumpy landing (one where the pilot does a wheelie on one side), I landed in Geneva.
Montreux is one of those incredibly picturesque Swiss towns located between the Alps and Lake Geneva on the Swiss Riviera. It was already a settlement in Roman times, and then became an important wine region from the 12th Century onwards. In the 20th Century it has had several notable links with music and literature. When Ernest Hemingway's central characters in the 1929 classic A Farewell To Arms flee to Switzerland by rowing boat, it is to Montreux. Deep Purple's song Smoke On The Water is based on the 1971 events when a Frank Zappa fan set the Montreux Casino on fire and destroyed it by firing a flare gun. Led Zeppelin and Queen both recorded at the famous Montreux Mountain Studios, and Queen bought the studios in 1978.
Since 2003 the first weekend of September is Freddie Mercury Memorial Day – there's a HUGE statue of him in the main square of the town. The extensive list of famous residents of Montreux (past and present) include Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, the Swiss philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau – and Bill Gates!
The Montreux Jazz Festival started in 1967 and has had a whole host of amazing musicians – and certainly not all jazz. I was really looking forward to hearing Melissa Auf der Maur perform just before us – but apparently she missed the plane from Canada and couldn't make it. Luckily, the INCREDIBLE John McLaughlin happened to be in town and performed an impromptu set with Billy Cobham on drums. I was so excited to get to hear McLaughlin play – the Mahavishnu Orchestra are one of my favourite bands of all time, and the album he did with Shakti, Natural Elements, is one of my top five favourite albums. It's one I always have on tour with me to listen to in my bunk just before going to sleep. The live set was incredible just to watch and hear him play – and the synergy between him and Cobham was mindblowing. What a treat!
The Roxy set was great! It was my third show with them so it's all starting to slot into place! I got compared to a Roxy Music album cover girl in a review by Reuters, which makes me smile. I have been working hard on those keyboard moves. We're going to be performing on the last ever Jonathan Ross BBC TV show this Friday (July 16) and then playing London's Lovebox Festival the next day. I always get extra excited about playing to a home crowd – my mum is flying in especially from Ireland to come see it! Hopefully I'll be rocking the new catsuit legendary rock designer Ray Brown is making for me. It's a gunmetal coloured, super-tight spandex affair: could get a little sweaty but it's worth it!
You may think you've never heard of Ray Brown, but you have probably seen his clothes on stage being worn by your favourite bands. Check out his client list gallery here. In next week's column I'll be doing a little interview with him, so you can find out more!
Right. Must go to the gym so I don't embarrass myself in the spandex.

Insulation can be an important element in green building by cutting down on a building's energy usage. There's a diverse range of insulation options available in today's market, each with advantages and drawbacks. One should consider how much energy saving an insulation can provide per cubic inch, what materials the make up the insulation, and how the insulation may contribute to indoor air quality.
One type of insulation that TreeHugger has been examining for years is plastic foam. Margaret Badore has written a five-part investigative series on the safety of sprayed polyurethane foam insulation. This series examines the potential health hazards associated with of spray foam insulation, its chemical makeup, its fire safety, and explores other insulation alternatives.

Interesting Archie Manning article
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
This guy reminds me of Mercury Morris. First he predicts his son won't win the SB.
http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-us&fg=r...7c9f2e&from=33 Then he steals the limelight when his son wins the NFCCG. |
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
never thought I'd see 'interesting' and 'Manning' in such close proximity
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
I've felt more harshly than that about him for quite a while, for pretty much the same reasons.
It's not as if Brady dad or to a small extent BB's dad haven't been visible with the Boston media. But they always served to take media pressure off of their sons, not to make things more complicated. |
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
The guy has a point, but I think the situation is somewhat unique. How many current players have a father who played in the NFL? Played in the NFL for many years and is are a known entity? How many of those fathers has a kid on one of the Final Four playoff teams? Griese is abouth as close as they come.
Now, how many have TWO sons, both QB's, both whom have made it to the SB? It's a unique situation, and one that seems to be getting more attention than it deserves. Now, I think if PEYTON were there, that would be a whole other ball game. Even if PM wasn't a jinx, I still don't think he'd be whooping it up in the Giants Lockerroom, not appropriate. But for a former NFL'er, I don't see the issue. Who knows how many Dads were in the LR? But why would the media be drawn to "just a Dad"? |
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
I've never understood why they make such a big deal over Archie Manning. He was an average QB at best, and never won squat.
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
And how many other Giants players dads have publicly predicted a New England win? Peyton has said the Patriots are beatable. Archie has said they aren't. I am not a big Peyton fan, but big bro is smarter than dad. |
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
i could give a rats ass who likes us or dosen't like us. I am so sick of the Manning triad they make me want to puke.
Re: Interesting Archie Manning article
I could give a rats ass who gives a rats ass. I suggest NOT watching any more NFL this season, otherwise, you might have to do something about that burned esophagus:eek:

Nike has not gone far enough. ... Nike continued to market a $16 "Vick Hero" tee-shirt to boys in sizes 0 to 18. A similar product is aimed at older youth....
Why continue to try and wring a profit from shirts that label Vick a hero for boys? Why sell other shoes named for him?
Michael Vick is no hero.
Nike should explain why it would sell a "Vick Hero" shirt. What has Vick done that deserves to be described as heroic?

I see your into game development.... what software are you using? (just curious because I have a degree in computer animation).
Have you checked 3dcafe.com? They have thousands of free models mostly in 3ds/max and dxf formats (even if you don't find what your looking for I'm sure with a few modeling adjustments you can get it to work).

More copies of this ISBNBlue Front: Poemsby Martha Collins
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A stunning account of racism, mob violence, and cultural responsibility as rendered by the poet Martha Collins the victim hanged, though not on a tree, this was not the country, they used a steel arch with electric lights, and later a lamppost, this was a modern event, the trees were not involved. --from "Blue Front" Martha Collins's father, as a five-year-old, sold fruit outside the Blue Front Restaurant in Cairo, Illinois, in 1909. What he witnessed there, with 10,000 participants, is shocking. In Blue Front, Collins describes the brutal lynching of a black man and, as an afterthought, a white man, both of them left to the mercilessness of the spectators. The poems patch together an arresting array of evidence--newspaper articles, census data, legal history, postcards, photographs, and Collins's speculations about her father's own experience. The resulting work, part lyric and part narrative, is a bold investigation into hate, mob mentality, culpability, and what it means to be white in a country still haunted by its violently racist history. Review:"Collins's fifth volume and first book-length poem concerns a horrifying lynching in her father's hometown. In Cairo, Ill., in 1909, two men (one black, one white) suspected of rape were murdered by a crowd; local newspapers celebrated the event. In sometimes narrative, sometimes impressionistic modes, Collins moves out from Cairo ('the most southern point in all the North') to the sad history of race relations in southern Illinois and throughout America since the Civil War. Snippets from letters, postcards, statistics, eyewitness reports and other documents mingle with Collins's own appalled voice to create a work that mixes resolve with horror: 'Often they cut off parts for souvenirs... Children were often there they were being taught.' With debts to W.S. Merwin's The Folding Cliffs and William Carlos Williams's Paterson, Collins (Some Things Words Can Do, 1999) creates at once a compelling, bristling story and a collage of evidence about white guilt. Another strand follows the poet's father (five years old in 1909) through his young adulthood (which may have included involvement with the Ku Klux Klan — common, even ubiquitous, there and then) into his kind old age. 'What he had seen/ is also what I was,' Collins writes: 'I had to know.' (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
About the AuthorMartha Collins is the author of four previous poetry collections, including Some Things Words Can Do, and co-translator of two volumes of poetry from the Vietnamese.

Hindsight is 20-20
By Jon in Sports in General on September 16, 2011 10:09 pm / 2 comments
Maybe Yunieski Betancourt will be OK at shortstop after all.
Maybe all pro athletes should close their twitter accounts.
Maybe the Pack shouldn't have resigned James Jones.
Maybe Brandon Jennings is just another shoot-first point guard.
Maybe Wisconsin high school football shouldn't start games in mid-August.
Maybe Bret Bielema is an above-average football coach.
Maybe the Brewers peaked too soon.
Maybe Ted Thompson knows what he is doing.
Maybe Rodgers is as good as Brees and Brady.
Maybe I should have watched a couple minutes of the US Open Tennis Tournament to know who won either the men's or women's title.
Maybe Fred Couples shouldn't have picked Tiger for the President's Cup.
Maybe Notre Dame should have joined the Big East or Big Ten.
Maybe the Tour Championship could finish up a week or two earlier.
Maybe DirecTV should take better care of long-time customers and provide better pricing for those who for years spent mucho dinero on the NFL Sunday Ticket.

Other than Betancour(t) (who remains one of the weak links in the Brewers lineup) and James Jones (who I predict we'll still be heard from, er, needed at some point this season) I find little to argue with here.

Give DirecTV a call and see if you're eligible for a Sunday Ticket promotion. I called last week and they said I was eligible to get it for free. Been a customer since 2004 and have had the Ticket every year.

Mexican Revolution: Food on the Run
6:30 to 9:00 PM
Cooking demonstration and tasting dinner at the Mexican Cultural Institute
After three centuries of living as a Spanish Colony, Mexico shook off its leash from the Spanish crown. However, Mexico's kitchens were deeply transformed by ingredients and cooking techniques brought by the Spaniards like rice, wheat, milk products, pork, chicken, olives, capers, Old World spices and olive oil.
As Mexico celebrated its re-birth as an independent nation, a whirlwind of dishes covered in the colors of the flag and filled with native symbols were created. Yet ironically, many couldn't be made without some of Spains' inherited elements, now ingrained in our cooking, and too good and delicious to be left out. From Mexico's most popular rice dishes as the Green Poblano, Red Tomato, and Mexican White, to all sorts of Chiles stuffed with the flavors of the coasts of Spain, Mexican identity was transformed and enriched at the table.

The Senate on Wednesday passed a bipartisan, two-year budget deal, temporarily bringing Washington's budget battles to an end, but the bill trims benefits for some military retirees, and that's drawing criticism. Washington bureau reporter Geoff Bennett filed the following report.
The bipartisan budget package, which has plenty for lawmakers on both sides to dislike, advanced through the Senate Wednesday. Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand voted in favor of the bill.
The agreement sailed through the House last week, but it's been a source of deep division among Senate Republicans, in part because it increases overall spending for the next two years.
Included in the budget agreement is a provision that cuts retirement benefits for current and future military retirees. It reduces by 1 percent the annual cost of living adjustment for military retirees under the age of 62.
Advocacy groups say the military was unfairly singled out.
"We've had 600,000 now veterans who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan that are now veterans and retired and are counting on that pension that they were told they earned," said Vice Admiral Norb Ryan, president of Military Officers Association of America.
Ryan said that the average cut in pension payouts for a retiring Army Sergeant First Class would be about $3,700 each year.
"This is also about a hugely important principle of the all-volunteer force: honoring the commitment to the men and women who serve, and this is the most distressing thing about this backroom deal," Ryan said.
Democrat Patty Murray, who co-wrote the budget bill, said that lawmakers have plenty of time to find a solution before the cuts take effect in 2016, and a group of Republican Senators have vowed to do just that.
"I don't have any doubt whatsoever that if we were able to come up with an appropriate 'pay-for' and a substitute for this cut in military pensions that it would pass like a hot knife through butter in the House of Representatives," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas.
However, it's a solution that some see as coming too late.
"I'm glad that they're thinking about fixing it before it comes into play financially, but it's already come into play from walking back on this commitment that the troops thought was sacred," Ryan said.

No good deed goes unpunished: Kansas City Chiefs edition (video)
Nov 23, 2012, 2:50 PM EDT
Comments Off
What happens when a member of the Kansas City Chiefs delivers a Thanksgiving meal to an elderly fan, and also autographs a hat for her? He gets a stern critique of the team's 1-9 record. It happened to the Chiefs' Dexter McCluster during the team's annual Thanksgiving meal home delivery to low-income residents in Kansas City.
KSHB-TV picked up the action, as McCluster delivered a turkey, and also received a lecture on being a turkey.
"Y'all better start winning some games," Ms. Louise said. "I've been praying, but y'all got to work a little bit harder."

Extremely accommodating! We were back for our second time this trip, this time just spending the night before an early flight out of San Jose. One of our connecting flights got canceled, but Daryl was gracious enough to let me use his (website hidden) account to make some calls and drive us the next morning at 03:45 AM! Mary even made us a care package of breakfast! Amazing!
We had a lovely time at Casa Abierta. Friendly and helpful hosts, beautiful home, and absolutely the best breakfast you will get in Costa Rica (thanks Maria!). We visited just as Darryl returned from a trip to India, and got to hear about some of his adventures and philanthropic work (be sure to ask). In all, highly recommended!
Mary was such a warm and welcoming host. The place was wonderfully set up, was clean and she wouldn't stop feeding us! We have one more stop there on this trip and it will be a pleasure to return.
Staying at Casa Abierta was such a treat! The room was beautiful and the breakfast was divine. Mary was incredibly hospitable and we truly enjoyed chatting with her over breakfast. We really enjoyed our time there - I highly recommend it!
Beautiful clean comfortable space! Kind host and,great breakfast!
My girlfriend and I stayed at Casa Abierta the first night we landed in Costa Rica. This was a brief stopover for us. Our flight got in late and we had to leave very early the next morning in order to make our bus to Monteverde, so we did not have much time to enjoy the wonderful accommodations at Casa Abierta, but we were very impressed in the short time we had. Mary was a wonderful host, staying up late to greet us and make sure we had a pleasant arrival and waking up early to see us off and be sure we made our bus on time. Leaving at 5:30 am we certainly did not expect breakfast would be prepared for us and yet Mary served us a wonderful, delicious breakfast with rice and beans, yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs, plantains, and coffee. It was a wonderful way to start off the morning before our second day of traveling and much more than we expected given the early hour of our departure. The room we stayed in was cozy and comfortable. If we find ourselves in San Jose again for a longer period of time this will be the first place we look to stay. Thank you Mary, for a wonderful stay.
We had a couple of great first nights with lovely hostess mary in casa abierta! Beautiful house, clean rooms with a very comfy bed and a GREAT breakfast!! Thank you!
Nous avez été enchanté par notre petit séjour chez Darrylle à San José. C'est une personne très généreuse et très interessante, j'ai adoré discuter avec lui ! Sa maison est absolluement magnifique ! Le petit déjeuner était à la fois copieux et délicieux, beaucoup d'attention est portée à l'acceuil de ses hôtes. Tout était à la hauteur de nos attentes et nous y reviendrons volontier avec grand plaisir !

Kanye West makes surprise appearance on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' -- PHOTO
Phillip Phillips' debut album goes platinum -- so how are other singing-show winners doing?
American Idol takes a lot of flack for being past its prime — and given the weak chart performance of its reigning champ, Candice Glover, those criticisms make sense — but make no mistake, the show can still produce stars.
Take Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips: The gravelly-voiced folk-pop singer's debut album The World from the Side of the Moon was just certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments of one million units. The disc, which was released in November 2012, wasn't a blockbuster out of the gate. It sold 169,000 in its first week, driven primarily by the success of Phillips' Olympic anthem "Home," which sold over 4.6 million copies as a single.
But World has continued selling steadily thanks to the slow-burn success of his platinum follow-up single "Gone Gone Gone," which has climbed to No. 24 on the Hot 100 and topped the Adult Contemporary chart. And it doesn't hurt that Phillips nabbed the opening slot on John Mayer's Born and Raised tour, which he joined in July and will continue with until mid-December. READ FULL STORY
Miley Cyrus on her VMA performance: I was trying to make history -- VIDEO
Miley Cyrus: Pop pioneer?
That's the vibe The Artist Formerly Known as Hannah Montana was going for at last month's Video Music Awards, according to Miley herself. "Every VMA performance, anyone that performs, that's what you're looking for," Cyrus tells an MTV documentary crew in a newly-released clip, looking much less wild than she did while grinding against Robin Thicke. (Her tongue is barely even visible!)
"You're wanting to make history," the pop tart continued. "Me and Robin the whole time said, 'You know we're about to make history right now.'"
MTV VMAs 2013: 10 things you didn't see on TV
Another MTV Video Music Awards is in the rearview, and this year brought us Katy Perry's boxing pantomime, Lady Gaga's seashells in the flesh, and Justin Timberlake's 20 minutes of magic.
But not every great moment was found by the television cameras, which is why EW was inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to watch what happened in between, and to take notes while wiping away the sweat caused by Drake's pyrotechnics. Check out some highlights from the view inside the building.
1. DJ Cassidy provided the pre-show and between-segment entertainment inside the Barclays Center, and while nobody cared much about him as they were taking their seats, he accidentally inspired some of the night's biggest reactions. Case in point: During one commercial break, he spun Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," which inspired a pretty intense singalong even as the show was coming back on the air.
2. The stage crew working the MTV VMAs were super busy, as always: They hustled to deconstruct Lady Gaga's elaborate set following her show-opening performance, and had to build what was essentially an entire third stage—the one that the other four members of NSYNC emerged from—over the course of a single commercial break. (It was mostly seamless.) READ FULL STORY
It's not too late for Lady Gaga: How to turn things around, starting at the VMAs
It may seem strange to say that it's not too late for Lady Gaga. After all, her third album, ARTPOP, isn't even out until Nov. 11—and we've only heard one song, "Applause," which is selling decently and actually has a pretty neat video. But of course, the promotional cycle's in full swing. And it seems like any minute, Gaga might go over the handlebars.
Her main problem—we won't say mistake, because this wasn't entirely up to her, and anyway, we're loving it—is having fallen into competition with Katy Perry, whose Prism arrives Oct. 22. Perry gave us "Roar"; Gaga came back with "Applause." Perry made some fun promo videos; Gaga made a serious promo video with Marina Abramovic.
Once it became clear "Roar" would outsell "Applause" in their first week out, Gaga did something truly tacky: Enticed her fans to buy multiple copies of the song—and then asked them to game up the pageviews on her video. Meanwhile, she jumped into an ugly grudge match with her old friend Perez Hilton.
Report: Justin Timberlake and NSYNC will reunite at the VMAs
There was at least one group of people disappointed by Justin Timberlake's remarkably successful return to music this year: Those hoping for an NSYNC reunion.
Enter the power of MTV. It was already announced that Timberlake would be receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at this Sunday's ceremony, but now, according to reports from sources within MTV, Timberlake will be joined by his old NSYNC compadres Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, and JC Chasez for a performance.
Despite the ongoing showdown between Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, this NSYNC news has now become one of the biggest stories of this weekend's show. It seemed like an NSYNC reunion was an impossibility, mostly because Timberlake was doing just fine on his own, thank you very much. It's doubtful that this will lead to any extended work together (Timberlake has two movies to promote, plus an arena tour supporting the entirety of The 20/20 Experience), but it'll provide some satisfying closure in the great boy-band comeback of 2013 that has included Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, and 98 Degrees.
MTV has yet to comment on these reports directly, though something like this happens just about every year—in 2009, the appearance by Janet Jackson memorializing her recently deceased brother Michael was the worst kept secret in the universe, as was the "surprise" appearance of Jay Z and Kanye West at 2011′s show.
So what do you hope to hear from NSYNC at this Sunday's Video Music Awards? Do you think everybody still knows those awesome "Bye Bye Bye" moves? And will Timberlake resurrect his terrible hair from the NSYNC era? Pop and lock in the comments.
Daft Punk to be on 'The Colbert Report' -- luckily
Daft Punk, the French duo who pretend to be robots, will be joining Stephen Colbert, the American personality who pretends to be a Republican, on The Colbert Report this coming Tuesday, August 6.
It's unclear just what the French duo—whose song with Pharrell, "Get Lucky," should not need to be explained here—will do on the show, although it is clear that we are supposed to be wondering this very thing. They might perform. Or maybe Colbert will interview them. (Their names are Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.) Or maybe both of those things will happen. But if Colbert does interview one or both of them, he will have to contend with the fact that they always wear helmets in public.
More information: The episode will be part of the "ColbChella" series. (The show staged something similar last year and the year before.) Colbert has recently been asking his guests to dance to "Get Lucky." READ FULL STORY
Lady Gaga announced as first VMA performer, will play new 'ARTPOP' single
Everybody better strap on a comfortable pair of shoes (so the Alexander McQueen lobster claw is out), because the march toward Lady Gaga's new album ARTPOP is on.
Though we still do not know the name of ARTPOP's first single, that will not stop Ms. Germanotta from performing the new track for the first time at this year's MTV Video Music Awards on August 25. (The single itself will roll out on August 19.)
Gaga is no stranger to the VMA stage—she memorably bled out while singing "Paparazzi" at the 2009 show, and in 2011 she treated the world to several hours of Jo Calderone. What wacky stagecraft will she break out this time? And will Brooklyn's Barclays Center, the site of this year's VMA show, ever be the same again? We'll have to wait until August 25 to find out.
Lady Gaga is the first performer announced for this year's show, and since the Moonmen themselves are relatively pointless (nobody in EW's offices could remember that Rihanna won last year's Video of the Year for "We Found Love"), the performances are the real draw. The rest will be rolled out shortly, but there are a handful of people they could book that would make perfect sense. READ FULL STORY
VMA Nominations: Justin Timberlake, Macklemore, Robin Thicke, and the usual suspects
MTV's annual Video Music Awards always ends up being the last big event of the summer, so the announcement of the nominations always comes with the dread that we're closer to the end of beach season than the beginning.
Still, despite the cold autumnal darkness on the horizon, there are still Moonman statuettes to give out. And this year, the most likely winners are Justin Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, both of whom have picked up six nominations. (Timberlake got four for "Mirrors" and a pair for "Suit & Tie," while Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' noms are split between "Thrift Shop," "Can't Hold Us," and "Same Love").
"Mirrors" and "Thrift Shop" will be competing for Video of the Year in a category fleshed out by Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven," and Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble." Fans can vote for Video of the Year at the official VMA site.
The rest of the nominations are pretty predictable — Drake, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Pink, Chris Brown, and Beyoncé are all on the list. Check out the full slate of nominees below. READ FULL STORY
Bruce Springsteen performs 'Born to Run' in honor of James Gandolfini
The celebrity tributes have been flowing for James Gandolfini, who died at the age of 51 on Wednesday, and on Thursday night, the Emmy-winning actor who came to great fame on The Sopranos as a crime boss received a nice one from another New Jersey icon — The Boss. During a concert in Coventry, England, Bruce Springsteen played Born to Run in its entirety after dedicating it to Gandolfini and calling him a "great friend." Onstage with Springsteen was E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt, who was Gandolfini's co-star on The Sopranos. Van Zandt expressed his sympathies yesterday, tweeting: "I have lost a brother and a best friend. The world has lost one of the greatest actors of all time. Maureen and I send our deepest sympathy and love to Deborah, Michael, Lily, and all of Jimmy's family." READ FULL STORY

I am running PSE 11 on a Macbook pro with OS lion 10.7.5.
I started with PSE 11 a few days ago and things were fine. Now a file I have been working on has problems. I can cut, but can't paste (only paste into selection), also I can turn on the grid, but not the ruler. It does not happen with new files I open, but it has with some that I have already worked on. I was saving my work as PSEs.
Any suggestions?
Even when I deselect it does not work.
I think the problem was that I saving them as PSE and PSD files. Just experimenting with it, it seems the ruler and paste are still available when I save things as a PSD.
Now I need to figure out if there is a way to recover all the work I did on other files saved as PSEs.
You said that you had saved your work as PSEs files - my understanding is that these files are project files and contain pointers and information about images and do not actually contain an image themselves. If you open a PSEs file you can continue to work on the project with the limited tools for that project.
The main purpose of the project is usually to print out a collage or similar and so the output is usually to a printer.
If you are trying to merge parts of one image into another to form a new image, there are ways to do it.
Sorry if you know all this, but if you let us know what you are trying to do, someone like Barbara will be able to point you in the right direction.

Eh, wow actually firing that freija nuke is gay. Suzaku isnt a stratigist but it doesnt take a lot of thinking to not accept the nuke. They should have gave it to loyd. Suzaku knows he has a live on geass, and he still accepted the nuke. Lulu is screwed over, with his betrayels, I see him going to drugs, aha or suicide and then Kallen slapping him. CC saying something kind. Rolo is going to know what lulu actually thinks about him. Nunnally is going to saved, she has her own series so she has to survive, that would be to akward having her live in one and die in another. My five cents

At any rate I'm curious on how everything stands in terms of the battle for Japan. After that blast people started to pull out of that area. But can't see either side just abandoning it. So they just going to take a break and then go at it again? Seemed from that preview that Suzaku was in what was left of the area destroyed by Freya. Still with what seems to be internal struggles and Lelouch not being in any condition for planning wonder how it will all turn out. Of course if the new Guren is used that will settle things quickly.Depends on who is sent up against him. The new Guren could probably win without much trouble. I'd expect the the new Lancelot when its up could probably perform similarly. At any rate Knight of One better watch his back .

In any case, Suzaku never says no, and Lloyd doesn't get her not to put it on. Manipulation still defeats true consent anyhow.

Well he could have killed nina aka Stupid annoying bitch. Because of her Im scared of quiet people. Couldnt Suzaku just dump it in the ocean? Or throw it very far in the atmosphere, shoot it and say "I dont fight to kill". The messed with his character. Lulu was stupid for letting that pyscho Rolo rescue his sister. That be funny if Rolo and Nina fell in love, there meant for each other. They also should die when they fall in love xD annoying people, gotta hate them

Things couldn't have gone worse for Suzaku even if he planned them himself.
The Lancelot gets completely out classed by the new Guren, he has the blood of millions of people on his hands and one of them being poor little blind and crippled Nunnaly. Now Lelouch will be completley out of his mind and by the next episode things will get even worse for him. Not to say that Lelouch should of expected something like this (afterall it's crazy to assume they would drop such a weapon in the middle of a battle) but when you go to the Britannian's turf to commence military conflict you should expect the unexpected and Lulu seemed to exclude that from his strategy. It probably wasn't the smartest thing to initiate combat when the person you're trying to save is in the mist of the chaos, even if you have people attempting to save her. Hopefuly with this being over, Nina will be gone, what a boring and annoying character. |

I may be alone in this sentiment, but this made me love Nina even more >_<!!
I think after seeing her first mas-err..."One-hand Lambada" to Euphy's picture, then go bizwacko when she found out she was killed made me a Nina supporter. Sure, she's insane and a mass murderer sort of. Who doesn't like that type(when they're fictional). I mean, I love Yuno and Rena, and those two are crazier, albeit less powerful, than Nina. Just to sum it up, GO NINA! Though it is depressing her weapon killed Nunnally and possibly Milly. Besides that, the Anya subplot better start soon. Only 8 more episodes left >_>. Unless they plan to make yet another season, which isn't bad but it might be drain the quality. Also, more OugixVilleta |

They note that she wants to equip it on the Lancelot, not that she will. That's when she goes manipulative. Lloyd's just not the type to say no to a new toy, and Suzaku is too indecisive to tell Nina off. You're right that her manipulation kept them from objecting in earnest, but they could have.

Well, One now ._. And.. I don't get why the hell the BKs would betray Zero. It makes no strategic sense. 1. They want Japan liberated. 2. They KNOW Zero is their ONLY chance of that ever happening (this has been stated like.. multiple times throughout the series). 3. They'll have to be RETARDED to betray their only chance of liberation Ya

Plus, they think they have choices to make. They don't realize that they're technically supposed to serve a purpose. They still act like they're part of a rebellion, when they're not. They're misguided and need to be disciplined properly.

Walk Away Monet, London Art Sale Sets Record Yet Disappoints
Usually Monet's waterlilies paintings are hot sellers but Claude Monet's 1906 painting "Nympheas" failed to sell during an auction of Impressionist and Modern Art at Christie's London on June 23, 2010. Monet's work was estimated at 30 million pounds to 40 million pounds ($44 million to $59 million) but bidding stalled out at 29 million pounds.
The sale brought in 153 million pounds ($227 million). The total set a new London auction record, beating a 147 million pound sale set by Soethby's in February, but fell short of estimates of 164-231 million pounds. The other top lot, a Blue Period portrait by Picasso put up for auction by Andrew Lloyd Webber's charity, sold for 34.8 million pounds. Although the sale wasn't as strong as hoped it still indicates that there is strength in the art market.

Bush, Buckland and Hornblower were sitting in the quarters that had previously been occupied by the Spanish commander of the fort. The enemy prisoners had been returned to the enemy's custody. Now they had to deal with a further request of the Spanish commander. A senior, yet young, Spanish officer was brought into the quarters blindfolded to maintain security. When the blindfold was removed, Hornblower conveyed the Spaniard's mission to Bush and Buckland. Hornblower, as Ira Riklis knows, again had to act as interpreter. Hornblower stated that the enemy officer said that he did not know any English but Hornblower indicated in a very subtle fashion that this might not be so and that Bush and Buckland needed to watch their words.
The gist of the Spaniard's request was for the English to let the Spaniards and their boats go on their way so that they could make it to a Spanish-held port. In exchange the Spaniards would leave most of their stores for the English. The Spanish officer indicated that the blacks from the other part of the island were on a rampage and the English needed all their resources to defend themselves. The Spanish officer indicated also that if the English did not agree to let the Spanish go, that the Spanish might join forces with the blacks against the English. It was agreed that the English would make their decision by the next day.
As Ira Riklis knows, nothing would be so straightforward. Buckland with the help of Bush and Hornblower decided to mount a gun from the Renown on a cliff above the fort and fight the Spanish so as to capture their ships as prizes.

Brilliant idea! I'm sooooo stealing!
Like you, although an avid sewist, I've become a bit of a DIY'er in most areas. Digging out and laying congrete bases for our summer house and shed. Building compost boxes and raised vegetable beds. Assembling said summerhouse and shed. Laying floors, lino etc. It's actually a bit addictive once you start!
PxDee you are so awesome. It's the measuring for activities like that that leave me a bit uninspired but I can proudly say I have spent more at Mitre10 buying varnish (water and enamel), paint, sandpaper, PVA and a staple gun this year than I have on fabric. It makes me feel so 'hard-core'!
ReplyDeleteNIce use of the square drive (?) screws! My lovely got one of those power tool packs a while back fro work & it came with a mini cordless drill...this is now MY drill & lives in MY tool cupbord (our old meat safe in the kitchen!) But when I need my drill bits...hmmmm...they seem to find there way into his tool box...which is in his work truck...not very handy when trying to do DIY before he gets home from work & freaks! ;)

So I've been away from my computer for a couple of weeks. During that time, I visited Atlanta and was able to shoot from this incredible location. Located near Georgia Tech, I'm sure it's a g0-to spot for many photographers in the area. There is a chain link fence with a hole cut in it, just big enough for my lens, and just tall enough for my tripod. Convenient

College Grove Methodist Church
*Looks better if you click it :)*
I headed out a couple of days ago in search of a good night photo. I ended up in College Grove, where this beautiful church is. I've passed it before, so I've thought about a night shot. The problem was the street lights in front and to the side. I had to shoot from this angle to block the one on the side. Overall, I think it turned out pretty well. This is approximately 45 minutes worth of 30 second exposures, blended to show the motion of the stars.

Night Sky Over Nashville

The Nashville Skyline with stars and the full moon overhead. Don't you wish this were possible? The night sky is amazing, I wish we could see more of it over the cities. This is, in fact, a composite created by merging several photos together. The night sky was photographed miles away from the city and then blended into the photo of the Nashville skyline to make an artistic version of Nashville at night.

Chosen at random, two people who have ordered calendars will also get a free 8×10 matted print in the mail with the calendar! For those who have ordered multiple calendar's, you'll get an entry in the drawing for each calendar ordered.
There is only a few days left to pre-order. After I place the order with the printing company, I'll have a very limited supply. Haven't ordered one yet? Click Here to get Started!!
Morning Light in the Smokies
Here's another photo from my day trip to the Smokies. This is from the Newfound Gap Overlook on the way up to Clingmans Dome. I arrived just as the clouds were breaking a little and allowing beautiful morning light to stream through onto the mountains and valleys below.
2014 Calendar's are ready for pre-order! Order yours today!

time to move on?
I have given multiple chances to my work environment -- have been more than fair in my opinion -- yet I am in general in disgust with the job I "get paid for". I love software and the power it provides. That "good" software or its value is not really understood at my employer shows up in evidence all over the place in internal projects. And I can only really derive any satisfaction nowadays from supporting users and providing great tools for them to get their jobs done. Hiring in software-related jobs (that I have personally observed) can be viewed to a large degree as cronyism or nepotism. This is disgusting, and while 60% margins may support this, it is not what I am looking for any more. THIS COMPANY IS TOO "OLD".
Google and web services are changing the world, and the corporate PR at my current employer pays it plenty of lip-service, but internally the _fighting_ to just to try to use some of the innovative technologies within makes you take a step back and wonder. THIS COMPANY IS TOO "OLD".
I think I really do contribute to making a group of fellow employees as a whole perform better. However, the reward system my employer uses does not really take that into account. It never has. It is all about getting your name associated with "something important" and having those important items being by-and-large successful. The company culture evolved much before there was a network culture and the territorial aspects of non-networked domains and making the network link bottlenecks valuable persists. There is little embracing at the upper levels of new networked mediums and the internal small employee groups who do endeavor to try to proliferate the new approaches like wikis or blogging or webservices are branded as mavericks. I understand the response. Flattened organizations can be threatening to some not ready for it. I just am not sure whether I want to spend any more time to change it or whether I can. THIS COMPANY IS TOO OLD.
I think the yearly review system if horribly broken from my job satisfaction viewpoint and I do not think I can change it. The so-called leaders (this term is largely referring to their position) in the institution are much too attached to it and the status quo to evolve. Half-truths that are sold well can get someone ahead and it is really hard to compete with that when you have integrity and base personal assessments on honesty rather than telling a large collection of small lies in order to sell yourself. Trampling down your colleagues actually can get rewarded. You do not have to have been at all responsible for any or most of the work in your line items. The important thing is to have a number of "important things" attributed to you in line items in the yearly review. It does not really matter much (unless you have an enlightened manager) whether you actually did those things or whether the tasks were necessary to do. THIS COMPANY IS TOO OLD.
I have not received any long-term Retention Seeking Units (RSUs) lately so I think
that is a hint that it is time for me to head somewhere else and try out a new culture. The previous work culture I enjoyed when I moved into the area of an empowering and enabling environment does not exist. Small pockets may still be found, but I think most of us that find ourselves in these small pockets are slowly running out of air. I think most of the satisfaction for me at work comes from being able to work with a group of smart, unselfish, helpful co-workers who in the end really care about project success, not about how to leech off the system and their employer. THIS COMPANY's PRACTICES ARE TOO OLD-FASHIONED. Should i try something else?
