On June 22, 2010, Collectors' Choice Music in conjunction with ABKCO Music & Records will begin a rollout of six reissues and compilations from the legendary Cameo and Parkway Records masters. The initial six CDs, including four twofers, are Rawhide's Clint Eastwood Sings Cowboy Favorites, Bobby Rydell Salutes The Great Ones/Rydell at the Copa, Chubby Checker's It's Pony Time/Let's Twist Again, The Orlons' The Wah-Watusi/South Street, Terry Knight And The Pack/Reflections plus the compilation Remember Me Baby: Cameo Parkway Vocal Groups Vol. 1 which features The Lydells, The Dovells, The Tymes, Lee Andrews, Billy And The Essentials and more.
For some time ABKCO had been looking for the right team with whom to delve into its vaults to create an ongoing Cameo Parkway reissue program. ABKCO found the right mix in Collectors' Choice Music and have entered into an exclusive arrangement, ensuring that a flow of reissues and compilations will be available over the next few years. All releases will be curated by Teri Landi, ABKCO's resident engineer and catalog archivist, and annotated by respected music journalists.
Jody Klein, CEO of ABKCO Music & Records commented, "We are delighted to have Collectors' Choice Music onboard for these releases of great historical relevance. Their expertise in this area will ensure that the music that made Cameo-Parkway such a cultural touchstone will be enjoyed by music fans who have long awaited these collections."
Much of the material has not been available since its original release on vinyl some 45-50 years ago. Both companies have approached these reissues with careful A&R, annotation, package design and sound engineering. Said Gordon Anderson, Sr. VP of Collectors' Choice, "The opportunity for our company to release this material represents the culmination of a career-long dream for me, and a fervently-held dream for thousands of our Collectors' Choice Music customers."
Founded by Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann in December 1956, Philadelphia-based Cameo-Parkway was one of the great American indie labels during the late '50s and '60s. It was home to big pop-rock and R&B stars like Bobby Rydell, Chubby Checker and The Orlons, as well as to all manner of styles and artists both famous and obscure. It also represents the last great, largely untapped repository of vintage pop music from the rock 'n' roll era.
It has been argued that popular culture was forever changed by the impact of Cameo-Parkway hits. Cameo-Parkway was one of America's leading independent labels during the era that preceded the British invasion, offering a breathtaking range of pop, soul, rock, novelty and dance records that have continued to resonate with fans over the past five decades. The label's biggest claim to fame is the string of dance craze hits that followed in the wake of "The Twist." These included "Mashed Potato Time," "The Wah-Watusi," "Bristol Stomp," "Do the Bird," "Hully Gully Baby," "Pony Time," "The 81," "Limbo Rock" and, of course, "Let's Twist Again."
Beyond the dance songs — most of which originated in Philadelphia — Cameo-Parkway issued garage rock classics from the Midwest including ? And The Mysterians' "96 Tears" as well as early tracks by Detroit's Bob Seger, The Rationals and Terry Knight And The Pack. The label even embraced the British invasion, releasing sides by The Kinks and Screaming Lord Sutch. Soul played a significant role with singles by The Tymes, Patti LaBelle And Her Bluebells, Frankie Beverly And The Butlers, The Five Stairsteps, and Bunny Sigler. Beyond those, Cameo was the label home of Bobby Rydell, who transformed from "swingin' pop idol" to a mature vocalist and was accepted by both teen and adult audiences with such hits as "Wild One," "Kissin' Time" and more adult fare such as "Volare" and "Sway."
Collectors' Choice's initial rollout of six CDs includes the following:
• Bobby Rydell — Bobby Rydell Salutes The Great Ones/Rydell at the Copa. These two 1961 albums — presented here in their original stereo mixes — represented an effort by Rydell to move beyond the limitations of his teen idol persona. The title of Rydell's Cameo LP, Bobby Rydell Salutes The Great Ones, works on two levels. It is an early tribute to the performers the young singer admired all his life, as indicated by the little caricatures of Al Jolson, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra in the upper corner of the LP's cover, and the "great ones" in the title refers to songs from the Great American Songbook such as "Mammy," "That Old Black Magic" and "All of You." By recording a live album at the Copa, Rydell was following a well-trodden trail left by other pop male vocalists like Bobby Darin and Paul Anka. Jim Ritz contributed liner notes. • Chubby Checker — It's Pony Time/Let's Twist Again: This twofer includes two albums from the height of the Chubby Checker twist phenomenon that he and Cameo-Parkway had spawned, virtually ruling the music charts in 1960 and 1961. The first album's title track, "Pony Time," went to #1, his only chart-topper besides "The Twist," while Let's Twist Again, his fourth album, hit #11, shortly followed by three Top 10 albums in a row. Also featured here are "We Like Birdland," "The Watusi," The Hully Gully," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Let's Twist Again" and more. Jim Ritz penned the liner notes.
• The Orlons — The Wah-Watusi/South Street. Discovered by high school classmate and future Cameo labelmate Len Barry, The Orlons (Shirley Brickley, Marlena Davis, Rosetta Hightower and Stephen Caldwell) were one of Cameo-Parkway's most popular vocal groups and certainly the label's top girl group. This twofer presents their only two charting albums from 1962 and '63 respectively, and both featuring Top 5 title tracks. Heard here in their original pristine mono with notes by Gene Sculatti that contain quotes from Caldwell (he of the ultra-low "frog" voice), this reissue contains the title hits plus "Dedicated To The One I Love," "Tonight," "Cement Mixer" and more.
• Terry Knight And The Pack — Terry Knight And The Pack/Reflections. Although Cameo-Parkway was best known for rock 'n' roll, pop and R&B, these albums (originally released on Cameo's Lucky Eleven imprint) illustrate the label's embrace of Midwestern rock. Flint, Michigan's Knight And The Pack were a garage band with many regional hits that never broke nationally; they might have become stars but for the fact that band members Mark Farner and Don Brewer left to form Grand Funk Railroad, with Knight producing. In his liner notes, Jeff Tamarkin tells the story of their 1966-67 fuzz-laced sounds featured in "Numbers," "You're a Better Man Than I," "The Lovin' Kind," "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show," "Dimestore Debutante" and others. • Clint Eastwood — Rawhide's Clint Eastwood Sings Cowboy Favorites: Oscar-winning actor Clint Eastwood has demonstrated a musical streak throughout his acting and directing career, and this 1963 album catches him at the beginning. Fresh from his success on the TV series Rawhide, he croons (and quite convincingly so) a collection of cowboy favorites. The set includes the 1962 single "Rowdy" b/w "Cowboy Wedding Song," as well as "San Antonio Rose," Bouquet of Roses," "Along the Santa Fe Trail," "The Last Roundup," "Sierra, Nevada" and more. Jim Ritz contributed liner notes.
• Remember Me Baby: Cameo Parkway Vocal Groups Vol. 1: There are collectors and there are doo-wop collectors, which is why Collectors' Choice devoted its very first compilation in the series to the vocal groups whose recordings defined Cameo-Parkway during its earliest years. Heard here are The Gainors' "You Must Be An Angel," Billy And The Essentials' "Remember Me Baby," and never before released tracks by The Dovells and The Tymes, "Short On Bread" and "Did You Ever Get My Letter?," respectively. Also featured are rare tracks from The Anglos, The Defenders, The Exceptions, The Expressions, The Gleems, Pookie Hudson And The Spaniels, The Impacs, The Rays, Rick And The Masters, The Sequins, The Skyliners and The Turbans — 24 tracks in all. Annotated by Ed Osborne.
Not so many years ago, he was singing for tips in Second Avenue bars and soaking up country music history at his day job working in the video tape library of the late, great Nashville Network. Today he's among the most successful and relevant country singers in the business. They say Nashville doesn't work like this anymore - that talented strivers with no connections don't stand a chance. But Dierks Bentley proved that Music City's engine still runs and that as a place for education, inspiration and validation, it has no parallel. Critics find him credible. Fans pack his shows. There are precious few new artists recording hits today about whom that can be said. Bentley's kind of country has never been straight-up-the-middle. Instead, the Arizona-native grew up on a potent hybrid of honky-tonk, bluegrass, singer/songwriters, classic country and modern rock & roll, forging his own sound along the way.
The Travelin' McCourys do not stand still. They are on the road and online entertaining audiences with live shows that include some of the best musicians and singers from all genres. It's always different, always exciting, and always great music. No other band today has the same credentials for playing traditional and progressive music. As the sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury, Ronnie McCoury on mandolin and Rob McCoury on banjo continue their father's work a lifelong dedication to the power of bluegrass music to bring joy into people's lives. And with fiddler Jason Carter and bassist Alan Bartram, the ensemble is loved and respected by the bluegrass faithful. But the band is now combining their sound with others to make something fresh and rejuvenating. It's that attitude, backed up by talent, that marks great musicians, traditional or progressive. The Travelin' McCourys are twenty-first century musical pilgrims and adventurers. They're onto something new, just like Bill Monroe was in the 1940s, but now we can see and hear that adventure live or online.

Just in time for Earth Day (April 22), Great American Taxi, whose current album Reckless Habits is climbing the Americana radio airplay charts, has donated a free download of a song, "Appalachian Soul" culled from its debut album Streets of Gold, to raise awareness of the plight of coal miners and their communities in West Virginia. The track is offered free to radio stations that agree to direct listeners to GreatAmericanTaxi.com, which in turn links to West Virginia Council of Churches website, which collects donations for the miners.
GAT frontman Vince Herman, who grew up in West Virginia, comments: "Great American Taxi sends our thoughts out to the families and communities effected by the mining disaster at the upper big branch mine. We hope that their unconquerable Appalachian spirit and families can help them navigate these difficult times. The country and the world share in their grief. We need coal. We need our miners to be safe. We need understanding on all sides of this contentious issue of our national energy policy. We would like to make Taxis' tribute to that Appalachian spirit available as a download here and suggest a donation to the WV council of churches to assist the families of our fallen brothers. Let's all come together and honor the families who have paid that ultimate price for our energy needs and hope that this is the last such disaster we must face."
In the past five years, Great American Taxi has become one of the best-known headliners on the jam band circuit, their uninhibited sound a swinging concoction of swampy blues, progressive bluegrass, funky New Orleans strut, Southern boogie, honky tonk, gospel and good old fashioned rock 'n' roll. That loose, anything-can-happen feel is the hallmark of Reckless Habits, the band's second album, which was recorded in Loveland, Colo., with producer Tim Carbone (from Railroad Earth) bringing the feel of an onstage performance to the recording process. The new album was released through Thirty Tigers on March 2, 2010.
Blurt called Reckless Habits "a giddy combination of boogie, blues, bluegrass, nu-grass and honky-tonk, it's as readily infectious and genuinely freewheeling as its eclectic content might imply. Hopefully this Great American Taxi will continue to take listeners along for similarly spirited rides in the future." Country Standard Time called it "a well rounded album that fully pays homage to Gram Parsons and his vision of a cosmic American sound that incorporates all the pages of the American Roots songbook."
When banjo player Mark Vann of Leftover Salmon died of cancer in 2002, that band desolved. Salmon singer/guitarist/mandolinist Vince Herman had a few rough years and survived a broken neck before joining keyboardist Chad Staehly for a superstar jam to benefit the Rainforest Action Group in Boulder in March 2005. "We put together a dream band of the best local musicians for a one-off gig," Herman recalls. "It worked so well we had to do it again, and again, and again." And so Great American Taxi was born. The current lineup includes Herman, Staehly, guitarist Jim Lewin, bassist Brian Adams and drummer Chris Sheldon.
Brooklyn's six-piece root-rockers The Morning Pages have just recorded an alt-country take on Lady Gaga's "Telephone" along with a grainy lo-fi stock photography-esque video complete with slide guitars, cowboy hats and tin cans on strings, answering the question "How would "Telephone" play out in the 1850s?". The ubiquitous song caught the attention of lead singer Grant Maxwell who decided to cover the song because "a great song is a great song and indie music doesn't have to be all dissonant and obscure and depressing all the time and on the other hand pop music could stand to sound a lot more organic and musical. My thought was they maybe we could combine the depth of roots music with the visceral enjoyment and popular appeal of mainstream music and get the next revolution started....also, I just couldn't get that song out of my head!" You can watch the new video HERE on YouTube.
With their 2007 EP The Company You Keep, The Morning Pages immediately stood out from other Brooklyn acts by tracing their roots back to country and folk influences such as Willie Nelson, Gram Parsons, Waylon Jennings, and The Band. It was this EP that caught the attention of Russell Simins of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion who went on to produce their upcoming debut full length Rising Rain.
The album's standouts include joyous foot-stompers like "With The Lord," "Move To The Country" and "This City Keeps Me Down," as well as plaintive ballads like the album's first single "My Name Is Lion."

Jazz, once a singularly American invention and one of the United States' greatest exports, has become a truly international phenomenon, with important players from all over the world making valuable contributions to the music's evolution. Europe, previously home to many of the most devoted connoisseurs of the art form, is now also the producer of some of the most innovative voices in jazz. With the inauguration of its European Modernists series Dreyfus Jazz is proud to bring U.S. audiences some of the best creative music being made on the continent today. The first releases in the collection showcase musicians from Belgium, France and Italy, spotlighting two long respected veterans and a pair of important younger voices. Taken together, Belgian guitarist Philip Catherine, French pianist Jean-Michel Pilc and Italians, drummer Aldo Romano and saxophonist Rosario Giuliani, these artists represent the continuing trend of noteworthy original music emanating from European environs.
Born in Belluno, Italy on Jan 16, 1941, Aldo Romano is the most senior of the four leaders, well known to audiences worldwide since his earliest recordings as a member of Don Cherry's internationalist quintet featuring Argentinean saxophonist Gato Barbieri, German vibraphonist Karl Berger and French bassist Jean Francois Jenny Clark. A resident of France since a young age, he's played swinging drums with visiting American giants like Jackie McLean, Bud Powell, Lucky Thompson, J.J. Johnson, Johnny Griffin and Woody Shaw and avant garde explorations with Steve Lacy, Charlie Mariano, Frank Wright, Bobby Few and Bill Dixon through the years, giving his far reaching music a distinctively freewheeling flavor. His associations with fellow Europeans Michel Petrucciani, Rolf and Joachim Kühn, Enrico Rava and Michel Portal make him a particularly representative artist for this series.
Origine, Romano's fourth effort for Dreyfus, finds the versatile artist returning to a romantic setting similar to that of his debut effort for the label, Chante, leading an expanded ensemble that displays his considerable capabilities as a composer. Augmenting his jazz sextet featuring saxophonist/flutist Lionel Belmondo (who arranged all of the disc's thirteen compositions) and trumpeter/flugelhornist Stéphane Belmondo (the date's primary soloist), altoist Géraldine Laurent, pianist Eric Legnini and bassist Thomas Bramerie with a classical wind ensemble of clarinet, flute, English horn, bassoon, French horn and tuba, plus percussionist Xavier Desandre-Navarre. The music is lush and beautiful, a decidedly successful melding of American and European sensibilities reflecting Romano's wide ranging talents, which also include (like one of his influences, Bill Higgins) playing guitar and singing, the latter of which is heard to great effect on the final track, his "Jazz Messengers" with French lyrics by Yves Simon.
Guitarist Philip Catherine, born in London in 1942 to a Belgian father and British mother, was raised in Brussels's where he began playing professionally while still a teenager. Dubbed the "young Django" while still a youth, by the great Charles Mingus (on whose Three or Four Shades of Blues the guitarist recorded), Catherine came into his own voice playing in variety of settings, from bebop to fusion, including work with American expatriates Dexter Gordon and Chet Baker and European violin maestros Jean Luc Ponty and Stephane Grappelli. Since gaining recognition with American audiences for his two guitar work Larry Coryell, he has gone on to become one of the most highly respected artists on his instrument in both the U.S. and Europe.
Catherine, who has recorded over twenty albums under his own name since his 1974 Warner Brothers debut Stream (produced by the legendary French guitarist-vocalist Sacha Distel, who worked with Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie and John Lewis) and dozens more as a valued sideman, makes his sixth appearance as a leader on Dreyfus with Concert In Capbreton. The live recording, featuring the guitarist's working band with his longtime collaborator, Dutch bassist Hein Van De Geyn, Italian piano maestro Enrico Pieranunzi and former Bill Evans drummer Joe La Barbera, is a swinging affair documenting the group's 2009 appearance in the charming seaside resort town in southwestern France. The group stretches out on four standards from the Great American Songbook – "My Funny Valentine", "My Foolish Heart", "You've Changed" and "Speak Low", along with two modern jazz classics, Sam Rivers' "Beatrice" and Richie Beirach's "Broken Wings" and a beautiful Van de Geyn solo bass piece "Change."
Since moving to New York in 1995, virtuoso pianist/composer Jean-Michel Pilc has steadily earned a reputation one the city's finest musical imports, working and recording regularly in many of the most important venues in the jazz capital of the world, including Sweet Basil, Small's, Iridium and the Jazz Gallery, both as a leader and with the likes of Roy Haynes, Michael Brecker, Kenny Garrett and Richard Bona. Born in Paris in 1960, where he taught himself piano, Pilc truly came into his own after moving to the United States and forming his longstanding trio featuring fellow Frenchman, bassist François Moutin (with whom he recorded his debut album, Funambule, in Paris in 1989) and the flexible Philadelphian drummer, Ari Hoenig. An innovator with a deeply personal style of his own, Pilc has been called "musical genius'" by the Washington Post, while the New York Time's Ben Ratliff astutely described him as "a splashy stunner who also has a Rubik's-cube mind for chord substitutions."
True Story, Pilc's sixth album as a leader for Dreyfus since he began recording for the label back in 2001 with his Welcome Home, introduces the pianist's remarkable new trio featuring veteran drummer Billy Hart and the great Russian born Mingus Dynasty bassist Boris Kozlov. The program, predominantly composed by the leader himself, including the five part title track suite, continues on the idiosyncratic path blazed on his previous dates, with music that is both dazzling and unpredictable. In addition to his other compositions, which include the classically tinged tribute "Mornings With Franz", he also performs an original arrangement of Schubert's "Relic" and typically unconventional interpretations of Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" and Tom Jones' pop hit "Try To Remember", with the former reimagined as a tango and latter serving as an Evanescent impressionistic journey.
Perhaps the least known artist presented in the European Modernist series, Rosario Giuliani is nonetheless an important new voice on the international music scene. Born in Terracina, Italy in the saxophonist achieved deserved recognition when voted the best new talent in the 2000 critics poll Top Jazz conducted by Musica Jazz magazine. Since then he has gone on to garner attention for his work with artists like Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Cedar Walton, Marc Johnson, Charlie Haden, Phil Woods, Mark Turner and Jeff "Tain" Watts, as well as many of Europe's best players. Possessing a virtuosic technique reflecting a range of influences from Charlie Parker and Lee Konitz to John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, Giuliani has proven himself to be a significant addition to the lineage of jazz saxophonists, capable of contributing valuably in a variety of situations.
Lennie's Pennies, Giuliani's tenth album as a leader and his fifth for Dreyfus, may well be the saxophonist's best effort to date. Leading a quartet featuring Paris born Pierre de Bethmann on piano and Fender Rhodes, with expatriate Philadelphian Darryl Hall on bass and Joe La Barbera on drums, Giuliani proves himself to be a first rate on alto saxophone (which he plays exclusively on the date, eschewing the soprano sax that he has doubled on excellently on previous cd's). Opening with a blistering tempoed reading of Lennie Tristano's title track, the leader leaves no doubt whatsoever concerning his powerful voice and technique. Elsewhere he expresses both a dreamy sensitivity, as well as a willingness to stretch boundaries when appropriate. The program, which includes four originals penned by the leader and two from de Bethmann, as well as a couple of standards, Heyman and Young's "Love Letters" and Irving Berlin's "How Deep Is The Ocean" and a pair of modern jazz classics, Joe Zawinul's "74 Miles Away" and Jimmy Rowles' "The Peacocks" is one that should satisfy forward looking fans of straight ahead jazz.
Ironically, as modern technology and the internet makes the planet seem smaller and smaller, the jazz world continues to expand exponentially with creative artists from all over contributing their individual voices and homegrown influences to the music's ever growing canon. The four artists featured on the Dreyfus European Modernist series, Aldo Romano, Philip Catherine, Jean-Michel Pilc and Rosario Giuliani, are each important voices in this once all-American music, reflecting the new wide world of contemporary jazz.
Come enjoy the music and contribute to the global effort to end poverty for some of the 3 billion people who live on less than $2 a day and are trapped in poverty so they cannot adequately feed, clothe, or shelter themselves or their families. DiscoverHope Fund (DHF) is a 501(c)3 promoting abundance for women and their families in economic poverty through microcredit and entrepreneurial training. DHF's "Microcredit Plus" model implements a dual approach to poverty alleviation—providing microloans and entrepreneurial training to help loan recipients build their businesses.

A percentage of ticket sales and funds from an on-site opportunity drawing will go toward our work to create a new consciousness of prosperity that women can pass onto their children, families, communities, society, and this world. DiscoverHope is proud to present an evening of great music starring Americana without Borders allstars – Great American Taxi.
In the past five years, Great American Taxi has become one of the best-known headliners on the jam band circuit. Their uninhibited sound is a swinging concoction of swampy blues, progressive bluegrass, funky New Orleans strut, Southern boogie, honky tonk country, gospel, and good ol' fashioned rock 'n' roll. Great American Taxi was born when singer, guitarist, and mandolin player Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon joined keyboard player and singer Chad Staehly for a superstar jam to benefit the Rainforest Action Group in Boulder, in March of 2005. "We put together a dream band of the best local musicians for a one-off gig," Herman recalls. "It worked so well we had to do it again, and again, and again." Great American Taxi quickly evolved into one of the best country-, rock-, and bluegrass- influenced jam bands in the land, masterfully blending acoustic and electric instruments into music they call "Americana Without Borders."
Great American Taxi has been equated with roots rockers like the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Grateful Dead, Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, The Byrds, and Little Feat. Herman finds the comparisons flattering. "We're definitely connected to all the acts in the country/rock spectrum, as well as the spirit of Gram Parsons and Woody Guthrie," he says. "We want to address the issues appropriate to our times, while making music that gets people up and moving."
The benefit will also feature an amazing opportunity drawing with a grand prize of 2 tickets to 2010 10th Anniversary Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe, IL as well as other prizes such as signed and unsigned rock artwork, local gift certificates, and other amazing prices to be announced.

Folk culture is defined as a specific group of people relating to a certain locale. Fort Collins night of folk music couldn't have been more appropriate on the anniversary of Johnny Cash's birthday.
The highly improvised quartet known as PRAANG featuring the all-star cast of Steve Kimock, Michael Travis, Jason Hann and Jamie Janover is scheduled to perform at Quixote's (formerly Owsleys) on Jan. 29 and Jan 30th.
PRAANG was born in December of 2006, due to the most unusual circumstances. Thanks to the legendary blizzards in Denver, which closed local airports for consecutive days, and left Steve Kimock stranded in town with 2 nights of music booked and no band in sight. Out of the blue, four unlikely musicians came together for the first time to recover a near snowed out show with no notice, no plan and no rehearsal. It's no surprise the 600 person venue came close to sell-out that weekend with word of mouth buzz alone - the caliber of musicians performing on a single stage was unthinkable at the time. Today, PRAANG is still purely experimental, instrumental and continues to play rare intimate performances, rain, snow or shine.
Known for a highly improvised performance, PRAANG is the strange combination of live electronic music, dub step and house music coupled with ethereal Hammered Dulcimer and the soaring, often psychedelic, voice of a guitar. The quartet, much like the experimental jazz bands of the past, performs with no form or known songs in their repertoire. Instead, the musicians pick themes or great storylines as their subject of improvisation. One member might say "tsunami" as they explode into an epic jam that tosses and turns like the great waves of the sea -- or a "tribal march", with a strong focus on drums, may come out of their explorations. It's as fun of a project to watch as it is to dance to.
January 29 & 30, 2010 Praang feat. Steve Kimock, Michael Travis, Jason Hann and Jamie Janover Quixote's (formerly Owsley's) 2151 Lawrence St Denver, CO 80205 Set: 10:00 PM 17+ Tickets: $20/ $22

How do you create enormous internet buzz around a difficult literary adaptation, from a maverick filmmaker best known for his controversial, taboo-pushing work? Well, that's simple; you cast Robert Pattinson, hearthrob for pre-teens and housewives alike, and star of the gigantic "Twilight" franchise. When Colin Farrell bailed on director David Cronenberg's adaptation of Don DeLillo's "Cosmopolis," Cronenberg went to Pattinson to play the lead, a billionaire stuck in his limo on his way to a haircut as the president visits New York, a riot breaks out, and an assassin closes in on him.
As a result, there's been quite a bit of buzz on the project, not just from Cronenberg fans but also among Pattinson's Twi-hard following, and it's not surprising that the first bit of promo art, which Bleeding Cool obtained from Cosmopolis Film, focuses on Pattinson, suited and booted, in the back of the limo where he'll spend most of the running time.
We're pretty sure that this is just art for sales purposes at this point; the film doesn't yet have a U.S. distributor, and likely won't land one till next year, so this may not be what you see gracing the side of buses come the films' release next fall. But it's a decent first banner, and Pattinson certainly looks the part; whether he can win over those skeptical of his casting remains to be seen. "Cosmopolis," which also stars Paul Giamatti, Samantha Morton, Sarah Gadon, Mathieu Amalric, Juliette Binoche and Jay Baruchel, should land sometime in 2012.
In further DeLillo-related news, Bleeding Cool also dug a piece from The Observer which suggested that "Cosmopolis" won't be the only adaptation of the writers work we'll see in the near future. The paper's Jason Solomons reveals that video artist Douglas Gordon, perhaps best known for his 2006 documentary/artwork "Zidane, un portrait du 21e siècle," is currently working on an adaptation of the author's 2010 novel "Point Omega."
Gordon's a particularly fitting, and meta, choice, as the book in part revolves around a man watching the artist's famous 1993 piece "24 Hour Psycho," which slowed down Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece so it ran for a full 24 hours. The book structured like a haiku, combines that with a meeting between a scholar who termed the word rendition and a filmmaker, along with the scholar's daughter, and we think we're fair in saying that it's a much, much less commercial proposition than "Cosmopolis" will be. But the idea of Gordon moving into fiction work is certainly intriguing; the director will move onto the project after he joins Mike Leigh and Lynne Ramsay, among others, in making a film to tie into the 2012 London Olympics, which will shoot soon. Hopefully, more news on this one will emerge soon.

The first poster above, NIKKI is right: "Robert Pattinson's worldwide fanbase is much bigger than only the Twi fans. Most of them have already read Cosmopolis and are eagerly waiting how David Cronenberg is going to adapt it on screen."
Two fans sites set up early this year dedicated to the film (one site referenced above)-- shows she's right. A second blog site, cosmopolis-film.com has a four part series on DeLillo, entitled "What's the Deal with DeLillo," with more to come on the backgrounds of the author, the director and the cast. Literature and film lovers alike are excited at the prospect of Cronenberg and Pattinson interpreting DeLillo's prose for the screen. Cronenberg knows how to cast for his films. Pattinson's swiftly moving beyond Twilight.

Robert Pattinson's worldwide fanbase is much bigger than only the Twi fans. Most of them have already read Cosmopolis and are eagerly waiting how David Cronenberg is going to adapt it on screen.
Wether you like Rob or not, it is a fact that he's very well cast as Eric Packer and he will do this character justice. Many of his 'haters' will continue to say his acting sucks even when David or Paul G. praise his acting shops (among many other directors and co-workers) . It will take some time before these narrow-minded spirits are willing to separate him from the Twilight phenomenom and take him for the actor he is, not for the vampire he brought to life. Last thing: if Rob, with the material he got to work with, could make the iconic Edward Cullen the most beloved movie character since Jack Dawson in Titanic, he'll surely be able to show Eric Packer convincingly in the different stages of his downfall.

Wonder,if Cronenberg cast Bale would you analizing his fanbase?For instance:super hero for men with boyish mentality or fat male teens dreaming to be a ''flying'' hero?
ree | December 19, 2011 12:34 PM
Hmm I don't have an opinion about Pattinson either way but to say he was cast simply to "create enormous internet buzz around a difficult literary adaptation" is really uncalled for. Maybe Cronenberg thought he had some talent. Crazy idea, I know.

Thief at electric station at South Bank, Middlesbrough thought to have received serious injuries
Updated 1:16pm Thursday 6th February 2014 in News By Chris Webber, Reporter (Stockton/Hartlepool)
POLICE believe a thief may have seriously hurt himself while stealing from an electrical substation.
The burglar tried to take expensive electrical components, but it thought to have received a substantial shock likely to have severely injured his hands and face.
Detectives are investigating a break-in at the electrical substation on Upper Napier Street, South Bank, Middlesbrough overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, February 4 and 5.
PC Anthony Simpson said: "There are obvious concerns for the welfare of the person who broke into the substation.
"We'd like to speak to this person or to anyone who may know their identity, as well as anyone who may have information relating to the crime itself."
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Anthony Simpson on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

MALONE — Two water crossings and weather issues have delayed progress on the 48-mile natural-gas pipeline being built in northern Franklin County.
Contractors are taking longer than anticipated to break through large rock formations under Farrington Brook and Little Salmon River, said Jim Ward, general manager of Enbridge-St. Lawrence Gas.
The company is building the $41 million transmission line from the St. Lawrence County Town of Norfolk east through the Town of Moira and into the Village of Chateaugay.
Service began in November for a handful of customers in the Brasher-Winthrop-North Lawrence area of St. Lawrence County, including North Country Dairy and St. Lawrence Central School District.
But efforts were slowed in Franklin County by recent extended cold weather and the region's unforgiving terrain.
"They're hitting solid rock in a lot of cases," Ward said of the contractors. "They're hoping to get the drilling done as soon as possible, but when it's below zero, the drilling machine has a hard time.
"We've had to wait for good conditions to work."
When the route for the pipeline was planned, he added, the company was aware of the rugged conditions, but it wasn't until the actual work began in those areas that the severity of those challenges was seen firsthand.
"And it's always hard work trying to go under a stream and rock, but we will continue our efforts to get it done," Ward said.
Once the borings are finished and the pipe connections made, the line will be tested and conditioned to make sure it can begin accepting the natural gas.
Then the flow will be started.
And since construction began on both ends of the pipeline at the same time, the Agri-Mark/McCadam Cheese Plant in Chateaugay will have its service started as soon as possible, Ward said.

Those who were watching Raw last night -- and if you weren't, Cageside has you covered -- were treated to a surprise appearance from none other than Paul Heyman himself.
Heyman was the visionary booker behind Extreme Championship Wrestling's rise to prominence in the mid to late-1990s. He was also the financial bungler who led to its untimely demise.
Regardless, he is held is high regard by many for his contributions to the wrestling business and he made his return last night to represent -- much as he had a decade ago -- Brock Lesnar.
So how did the former Paul E. Dangerously find himself in Greensboro?
According to PWInsider (warning: spyware), the deal only came about over the last week. When Lesnar was originally signed in late March, there was no talk of Heyman being brought in but he will be used at least through SummerSlam to avoid using the limited number of dates Lesnar is contracted for.
The storyline that might spring forth from this development is a worked recreation of the legal battle "The Next Big Thing" and WWE found themselves in after Lesnar split from the company in 2004. Except Twitter, YouTube and other social media outlets to play a heavy part in this as Vince McMahon and company want to create a buzz which would, of course, lead to a SummerSlam match with Triple H.
As is stands now, Heyman is only involved as a part-time on-screen character and is not involved in the creative process.
But really, could Heyman stop himself from pitching an idea or two?

As part of the update of location and workplace policies in NCPC's Comprehensive Plan for the Nation's Capital, NCPC and the ULI Washington District Council examined the evolving federal workplace and its influence on host communities. Four panelists, representing federal and local governments and the private sector, discussed the impacts of federal facilities, including innovative strategies that can contribute to community and regional goals. They also examined whether government location policies intended to maximize the federal workforce's size in Washington should be modified to include transit-oriented development sites throughout the region.

No matter what you believe about the Mayan Calendar apocalypse you have to love the photo taken by Hector Siliezar while attempting to capture a lightning bolt near a pyramid. Below is the story from MSNBC.
When Hector Siliezar visited the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza with his wife and kids in 2009, he snapped three iPhone photos of El Castillo, a pyramid that once served as a sacred temple to the Mayan god Kukulkan. A thunderstorm was brewing near the temple, and Siliezar was trying to capture lightning crackling dramatically over the ruins.
In the first two images, dark clouds loom above the pyramid, but nothing is amiss. However, in the third photo, a powerful beam of light appears to shoot up from the pyramid toward the heavens, and a thunderbolt flashes in the background.
Siliezar, who recently shared his photographs with occult investigators, told Earthfiles.com that he and his family didn't see the light beam in person; it appeared only on camera. "It was amazing!" he said. He showed the iPhone photo to his fellow tourists. "No one, not even the tour guide, had ever seen anything like it before."
The photo has surfaced on several Mayan doomsday discussion forums. But was the light beam a sign from the gods — a warning about Dec. 21, 2012, the date that marks the end of the Mayan calendar cycle, and when some people fear the world will end? Or is it simply the result of an iPhone glitch?
According to Jonathon Hill, a research technician and mission planner at the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University, which operates many of the cameras used during NASA's Mars missions, it is almost definitely the latter. Hill works with images of the Martian surface taken by rovers and satellites, as well as data from Earth-orbiting NASA instruments, and is fully versed in the wide range of potential image artifacts and equipment errors.
He says the "light beam" in the Mayan temple photo is a classic case of such an artifact — a distortion in an image that arises from the way cameras bounce around incoming light.

I enjoyed the documentary. Showed a side of Floyd that I never seen (did not need to see his ass) I like the fact that they showed his kids. The Diamond Club brought back my days at Morehouse. I guess the Showtime deal was happening way before we knew about. Ms. Jackson is just a face with a nice body other than that she has nothing more to offer, I am glad he got rid of her. And another things, you openly know this dude is cheating on you and you think he respects you?
Floyd has way too many hanger ons and I hope he listens to his mother's advice. Interesting they didn't show 50's face. Gamboa had a spot I thought that was cool. Good to see Roger Mayweather. I think Guerrero is about to get his ass handed to him, Floyd stays in the gym.

Just watched the documentary! Youtube is awesome !
First of all - Floyd ain't stupid guys, he is not sleeping around with stripers and prostitutes - no matter how well paid. STDs are everywhere and can fuck up your life. Floyd is smarter than that and stays sober. He loves himself too much to risk it.
2 - I actually think Ms. Jackson is a smart woman. She may be "lazy lay" as C' pointed out (hilarious phrase btw, never heard that one before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) but she was speaking well and although shes undoubtedly a trophy and high maintenance woman I don't sense anything similar to the mother golddiger herself Robin Givens.
3 - Damn, Floyd can speak after all. He made some good points especially about prisons making people angry instead of better.
4 - Enjoyed the documentary from start to finish!
5 - Floyd is a good and caring guy. End of story.
6 - Of course you can't trust anything and anyone, but I think it was a pretty honest picture of Floyd and his circle.
7 - Too bad most of the people who have actually seen the documentary will remember only 3 things from it - money, stripers and luxury.... to feed their jealousy. But as Floyd would say....It is what it is. Fuck it

According to history buff David Domine, Old Louisville is quickly gaining a reputation for being the most haunted neighborhood in the country. "Old Louisville is the perfect spot for a ghost tour, because nowhere else in the country do you find such a high concentration of Victorian homes," he says. "And everyone knows Victorian homes naturally come with ghosts." Domine, author of "Ghosts of Old Louisville," leads a Full Moon Ghost Tour every month that highlights the unique architecture and spooky stories of the historic neighborhood. Domine says his favorite tale is of the "Lady of the Stairs," whose ghost still waits for her beau on the steps of the First Church of Christ at the corner of Third and Ormsby. This month's tour is Friday night. —Sara Havens

The Union Budget analysis at Bombay Stock Exchange
Life as a Bachelor's of Mass Media student has its share of perks and to be a KC College BMMite is double the perks. KC BMM gives its students ample of opportunities to interact with people from the industry and also hones their skills and talents in the best possible way. KC BMM is known to favour practicality over theoretic education. Staying true to its reputation, a day trip to the Bombay Stock Exchange was organized by KC College Bachelor's of Mass Media,to enable the TYBMM journalism students to understand the financial workings of BSE, which forms a small segment of the syllabus of a 6th Semester subject- Business Journalism.
What really made the visit memorable and enlightening was being a part of the interactive audience of IndiaInteracts, a talk show on Rajya Sabha TV which analyzed the Union Budget 2013-2014 which was recently announced by Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram. Amongst the distinguished personalities on the panel, was renowned Economist Dr. Ajit Ranade, who made some valid arguments on the budget and also graciously answered all the questions from the young audience.
"We must note that everybody expected this budget to be a populist budget considering the upcoming 2014 elections, but the Finance Minister has proved them all wrong. This budget is a balanced budget which aims at fighting deficit and also bringing about a higher Gross Domestic Product rate. Let's wait and watch whether the Finance Minister success in the goals he has set for himself through Budget 2013," said Dr. Ajit Ranade, Chief Economist, The Aditya Birla Group.
The discussion also analyzed what this budget has in store for students. The Finance Minister has allocated Rs. 65000 crore for the field of education. However, this does not translate to easier and low interest education loans but will hep implement primary and secondary education schemes.
Talking about the BSE visit, Riddhi Jadhav, a Third Year BMM student, says, "It was very informative and thanks to my college I actually got to visit the high security place which I have always seen only in News Channels. The interactive session was very interesting and added a lot to my knowledge. I will definitely be able to attempt the Budget analysis question in our upcoming final exams!"
All in all, this day trip to the financial hub of Mumbai proved to be very insightful for the students.

I didn't want to read it at first because of the 400 page length. However, I gritted my teeth an dug in and promptly got lost in the world of basketball. Two high school friends (star player black and his best friend is white) play ball and colleges try to recruit them. I initially started to enjoy it because of how the coach stood up for his team and protected them. Then I started to enjoy it for the easy friendship the boys had. Then I had a brilliant flash of insight that may be all of these people that they were mentioning might be real coaches. And guess what.......??! They are. John Calipari is a real coach for Kentucky. And he does have a nasty habit of doing under the table deals, changing schools and letting them deal with the consequences. My jaw dropped once I started doing the online lookup. I'm 100% sure that the typical teenage boy will instantly recognize the names. However what really got to me was how the emphasis was to be careful of selecting colleges based on what they were buying you. I already knew this was a problem, but this book really slammed it home. I think it's a great selection, because it's not too preachy but it definitely helps you to see that there is a dark side and to not be so naive. Instead make a smart choice for the long term. On a completely side note, race is there but it's definitely in the backseat. Also, the ending is beautiful.

VCA Smoketown Boarding Facility has two confirmed cases of CIV and are already taking steps towards limiting the spread, treating the suspected cases and communicating with pet owners in the Lancaster area.
Thursday night, they received confirmation of two dogs testing positive for H3N8, Canine Influenza Virus or CIV. They are awaiting two separate tests on other possible cases and think that up to 35 dogs have been exposed.
The 35 exposed dogs are being treated with antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Pet owners that picked up their dogs from the boarding facility since Monday, July 23 are being asked to come in to pick up the antibiotics. Currently, 24 dogs are still in the facility and they are in the process of contacting their owners to pick up the dogs. It is being recommended that exposed dogs stay on the antibiotics and stay quarantined from other dogs for 7-10 days avoiding social settings like dog parks.
Efforts are already underway with disinfection protocols. The boarding facility will remain closed as a precaution for seven days from the final exposed dog being picked up.
The animal hospital remains unaffected and is open. There is a separate entrance and additional disinfection protocols are being observed as a precaution.
For more information on CIV, please visit www.doginfluenza.com.

I'm asking the Bay View newspaper to please print this open letter so that California Prison Focus, MIM Distributors, Rising Son Press, Anti-Racist Action and the Black Riders Liberation Party will know why they have not heard from me – also Shaka of the Black August Organizing Committee and Brotha Secretary Yawo at the Oakland Uhuru House. I have no addresses, so at this point I cannot contact them unless they contact me.

Historically, heroes – super-powered or not – come in all shapes and sizes. But what about colors? If we allow your standard history book and Hollywood small and silver screen productions to answer that question, the overall answer would be that the color is only one – white. Black heroes, it seems, do not exist.

In Search of the Friendly Islands
by Kalafi Moala
shipping to USA addresses $4.99
Paperback, 160 pp
Tongan publisher and broadcaster Kalafi Moala's new book exploring the dilemmas, paradoxes and challenges of modern Tonga is a must-read for anyone interested in current themes in the issues of Pasifika. In Search of the Friendly Islands is a thought-provoking examination of how tradition and modernity co-exist in Tongan society, not only in Tonga but also in the diasporic Tongan communities in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
Is the Kingdom of Tonga losing its way? What is Tongan culture, and how will it determine the path of Tonga's future? How will Tonga respond to changing circumstances? These and other questions are examined, with the goal of looking towards a dynamic and positive future for modern Tonga. Moala examines myriad issues including domestic violence, the culture of domination and hierarchy, traditional and modern leadership, the 16/11 riots, economic development, globalization and spirituality.
This is a significant book at this point in time for Tonga.
As major changes are currently taking place in the structure of Tongan government, Moala believes that simply reforming the government will not, in and of itself, achieve the hoped-for results. Tongan communities and individuals must, he urges, look within for the deeper transformations that will lead to true reform.
Professor Ian Campbell of the University of the South Pacific in Fiji, writes in the book's foreword, "Reading [Moala's] book, one can imagine him seated on the floor in a circle around the tanoa talking the same way as he writes, connecting the big issues to daily life. One can just as easily see this book in the hands of the international experts, teaching them about the 'grass-roots.'"
Associate professor David Robie, director of the New Zealand co-publisher Pacific Media Centre at AUT University, says: "For more than a generation, Kalafi Moala has inspired the Pacific region as a newspaper publisher and social conscience . . . This book is another important contribution to debate and reform about the Friendly Islands and journalism's role in a 'challenge for the soul of our very civilization.'"

Welcome to GPC
Welcome to Green Park ChitwanWhere Culture Meets Class
We borrowed the cool from the breeze that plays along with tall elephant grasses that grow in the wilderness just outside our traditionally carved entrance doors. We borrowed the warm hospitality from the ethnics that has made Baghmara ever such a wonderful place to visit in chitwan. We went into the deep heart of the jungle, and borrowed the songs of the flowers and stories of the trees and then painted them in our rooms, with each room getting a different song, a different story. We also traced the history of Baghmara, and borrowed the folklore to not just give 'feel' to living, but a 'soul' to being. Read more

Tibet, the mystical land and dubbed "Roof of the World" is now easily accessible with the exciting launch of the train that runs from the various cities in China to Lhasa on 1st July 2006.

Flights From The United States Will Arrive Directly to Chiriqui
Friday, April 13 2012 @ 08:33 AM EDT
Contributed by: Don Winner
Views: 3,442
The engineer of the company Constructura RIVAS SA, Luis Ricardo Almill�tegui, said they experienced some delays at the beginning, particularly in the area of the runway because the weather was not favorable. He said they also had problems with permits from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the National Environmental Authority (ANAM) in relation to the extraction of materials, but all these were corrected. Almill�tegui said the new terminal will provide a luxury service to both domestic and foreign passengers.
The completion of this important work will increase tourism in the province of Chiriqui. There will be direct flights from the United States and other parts of the world. During a visit by this newspaper, we saw the work that had been done inside of the terminal, which will have four rooms where Panamanians and foreigners will be served. According to Almill�tegui, the Enrique Malek Airport will be four times larger than the current terminal.
For his part, Ricardo Brenes, the airport administrator, said the terminal project is a major breakthrough in terms of economic movement. He added that since the beginning, the management of airports conducts inspections to verify that the work is being performed in the best manner. (Panama America)

We've all tried in vain to take a mailing label off of a practically new box or envelope so we can re-use it. And the glue wins out every time, ripping the envelope or cardboard, right? Zorianna Kit has a fast and easy solution.
"Sometimes I get more excited about the actual packaging that comes in the mail than what's inside," she says. "That's because I know they are perfect to re-use for care packages I love to send to out-of-town family and friends. Saving these also means I don't need to go to the post office and spend money to buy my own. But when I try to peel off the label, I end up peeling the entire box with it. Now I've made a mess, and ruined a perfectly good box!"
To remove labels without leaving leftover glue residue, simply pull out the hair dryer while peeling. The heat literally un-sticks the glue, making the box and the label look perfectly new. It even un-sticks the tape and takes the sticky part off the label, too!
And the same goes for an envelope. How many times have you labeled an address, only to realize you've made a mistake and you have to start all over again? Well, there's no need to throw away a perfectly good envelope with this nifty tip.

What if the Texans got a guy at CB to replace KJ? Someone with experience. Someone who can hang with the best number two wide receivers on every team. He could help have single coverage on a team's top two wide receivers and therefore allow our safeties to help swallow up either the running game, or tight ends (which we had some troubles with this past season).
Yes, a second wide receiver is needed on this team. We could get that in the draft. Several of them, in fact. But we've seen how a rookie corner back can have issues. Why not get someone that can start immediately?
Why not attempt to sign Cortland freaking Finnegan? Are his character issues big enough for our FO to automatically write him off? I don't think they are.
Go ahead, begin the hate. Now imagine a rookie WR going against him in practice every day. Which would you prefer? Learning the ropes against Innegan, or Jackson?

I'm new to Swift so I can't comment on potential with this theme.
Suggestion: Bring the subscribe box above the recent clients list in the sidebar. Also, change the title to something like 'Stay updated with the latest Magic' (think about it a bit harder than I just did but I'm sure you get the idea)
I'd emphasize the word 'Elite' in the header too, since it sets you apart from the 'run of the mill' (I'm sure there's a handful of 'party magicians' in the yellow pages/Google. Elite magicians? Not so many
Just a thought! Otherwise looks good!

Nick Diaz, a man that has been ridiculed by fight fans and media alike for his unwillingness to fall in line with the mainstream media's view for as to how a fighter should conduct themselves on-camera, has carved out a pretty decent following for himself despite the lack of approval from the men that supposedly matter, and the following doesn't seem to be dieing down any time soon. In careless fashion, Nick will let his opinions be known regardless of what some may think and as he says he'll always 'keep it real'. A savant in the fine art of speaking in a discursive style, Nick will keep you listening regardless of the subject matter.
Coming into this past Saturday night's main event bout against Paul 'Semtex' Daley a good portion of the pre-fight buildup took a turn towards other non-fight matters with Ariel Helwani's interview that he conducted alongside the Stockton native.
When asked by Ariel how Nick was feeling as the fight drew closer Nick told Ariel that he was feeling good but also included that the only reason that he was speaking with him was because he was told that he had to do so. Ariel, seeming somewhat perplexed, asked Nick if he had an issue with him and Nick let his opinion of the AOL Fanhouse journalist be known. Nick stated that he didn't like how Ariel attempts to goad fighters into talking trash about one another and create beef between them with playground 'he said, she said' tactics. Not only did he say that he doesn't approve of Ariel's interviewing style, he also informed Ariel of the repercussions that would come to him if he acted that way in Stockton; a bitch slap to the face.
With respect for what Ariel's role is I have to side with Ariel in the fact that he doesn't do anything that any good reporter wouldn't do themselves. Ariel's job is to pump up a fight and while Nick pointed out that Ariel does it because that's what he's paid to do in reality he's also putting money in Nick's pockets. The game of pre-fight trash talking banter may not be something that Nick is keen on involving himself with unless he himself initiates it, but it plays a vital roll in drawing attention toward him which can be nothing but a positive for Nick in the long run.
While the response may not have been a response that fans could collectively agree with Nick on it was a direct reflection for as to why Nick Diaz fans are Nick Diaz fans to begin with. Fans of Nick love his way of completely altering the focus of an interview and transforming it into a discussion that he finds interesting, which in turn his fans find interesting.
Typically with fighters we get the expected and generic retorts when they're asked by news reporters fight related questions, but Nick's answers always fall outside of the box of normalcy. The awkwardness that's seen time and time again has become an expectation of sorts which quite a few people look forward to watching, Diaz haters included. The communication skills of Nick, or lack thereof depending on what your opinion is, appeals to the entire fight fan spectrum. Love him or hate him, fans are always up for a Nick Diaz interview.
Not only do Nick's on-camera appearances draw massive amounts of interest with the online MMA community, it also gives fans a glimpse into the world of Nick Diaz that don't get seen as often as other fighters due to his lack of interest with making media appearances when it's not absolutely necessary of him to do so. Nick's several minute long tangents that he seems to get into rather easily are actually something that fans look forward to hearing as Nick Diaz supporters. If you actually listen to Nick and get past the awkward stares off into space along with the 'ya knows' and 'umms', he actually supplies a lot of solid content.
For example, when Ariel Helwani asked Nick if their was a lot of mutual respect between him and Paul, Nick not only commented on the question at hand but also made comments concerning fighters not fighting to win, why Pride rules led to more exciting fights with the use of the yellow card, how organizations that buy out the competition in order to favor their rules are bad for the sport, why the Japanese are the ones that truly understand the meaning of martial arts and how the US MMA scene is geared towards wrestlers and how he's had to adapt his game to be able to compete in that sort of environment. Does anyone really care about a tangent when you get this type of insight? I think not.
For as much flack as Nick gets on the MMA message boards diffused throughout the Internet, deep down people really are intrigued with what they hear when Nick speaks. The interest might not be something that you'll see people type out in their responses to Nick Diaz Interview threads, but the shear volume of responses alone is a clear indication that the interest is there. Nick isn't stupid and he's got you talking whether you like or not. I for one applaud Nick with his ability to captivate an audience with a ten minute Youtube video or less. Keep doing what you're doing Nick. I'll be listening whenever your next interview comes out.

As I sit here jamming this thumb drive into my computer I realized something. I have it upside down. Then it hits me, this is insane. Can someone technologically inclined please explain to me why USB isn't symmetrical. Why can't the design be changed to allow for plug in, in any orientation. Then for all existing USBs an adapter.
I know this is a massive undertaking. However I feel it should happen. I think the time is now, because from my experience I haven't seen any terrible backlash on Apple switching their mobile devices to Lightning. I worked at a Radio Shack for a while and the consensus there was, "this sucks I have to buy all new cords." However that would follow with, "well I got to do what I got to do." So if the industry just ups and moves to a new standard, Im sure people will suck it up and move on too. Look at the move from Floppy disk to CDs to now Thumb drives. I feel we the people are ready for another change. Now please excuse me while I re-orient my thumb drive.
