I am also going to Carissa on this one! It was obvious. Also She got out of her car walked the red carpet up to Luke and gave him a kiss, it was at the event that he told her that he was going to alone as she needed more time.
I knew that as soon as Will Chase became a regular on the show that Rayna would choose him. Even with the show trying to trick us in thinking she chose Deacon by putting on the ring when she was getting ready and the red head walking in to the Blue Bird, I never once thought she would chose him. I am sure eventually they will get back together and if they do then it better be for good and not more back and forth.
At the end the look that Rayna had on her face when Luke smiled at her seemed to be one of sadness and regret.
I also knew that Scarlett would not leave for good. The episode did provide tons of funny moments with Avery, Gunnar and Scarlett.
So are they trying to make Teddy likeable now that he is sticking around? I never thought I would say it but I liked him last night.
I really enjoyed the live performances.
Once again Juliette's life is a mess. She will get the role of Patsy Cline but I am not sure if she will be able to accept the role now that she is pregnant.
I can not stand the lady that is producing Layla and Will's show.
I am excited for this.
The whole man date thing was super funny.
I am a fan of Meredith and I do think that Pierce was out of line. I did like her scene at the vending machine with Richard though.
I wonder how long it will be before Pierce tells Meredith she is her half sister.
I want Alex to be on the board.
I like that he is Meredith's new person.
I thought Stephanie was supposed to be gone as well and that Jo was going to be the lsat remaining intern.
I knew the hikers family was going to be alive and I cried when they walked in to see him and realized it was not a dream.
The little boy that lost his dad, broke my heart when he said he knew his dad was dead and that he missed him already.
That is all Derek needed to turn down the job in D.C. and as much as I like Meredith I was super made at her for getting mad a Derek for staying.
Once again we have turmoil with Arizona and Callie, I really do not think these two are meant for each other anymore.
When Jackson told Richard he would have liked having in the family was such a great moment between those two.
The lost Kidney was the patient that Meredith, Owen and Stephanie were working on...the hiker.

They said 8 months but yes that would not match up with Amber being about 4 months along in her pregnancy. Also her ex fiancé was named Ryan.
It has been confirmed several times that a member of the family will die.
Joel and Julia are not divorced yet.
This is the beginning of the end for one of my favorite shows. I keep telling myself to just enjoy the episodes and not be sad but it is hard and I am pretty sure that Zeke will be the one to die and when he brushed off his passing out as nothing I knew that the outcome will not be good.
There were some funny moments in Vegas when the boys joined them, it was nice to have some laughter after Zeke was in the hospital.
I had been a fan of Joel's since day one, he is cute and funny. However last season they turned him into someone I could not stand.
Then yesterday he is back to his old self, joking around and kissing Julia. Of course it comes at a time when she is with super hot lawyer guy! I think that the damage last year with them and her new "boyfriend" will mean that there is no Joel and Julia reunion.
I loved Haddie's reaction to Amber's news and I loved are their scenes together. There were some great and funny moments with them.
I was a little mad at Sarah's reaction to Amber's news.
I also to do not like Sarah and Hank together and they will have some adjustment and some issues I am sure now that Hank's daughter is back.
I am glad that Max went to the academy.

Pretty funny episode.
I agree with your whole review. :)
Patrick John Flueger is looking hotter than ever.
I laughed during this episode when the cast all seemed to color coordinate. Last season it was the leather jacket team now they are the same t shirt color team. LOL
Now on to the episode:
We all knew that Voight did not kill Jin. However I have to admit that I did not see it coming that Voight would have dirt on one of the guys that wanted to suspend him and that in turn saved Voight's job.
I think I will like Burgess' new partner, the issue he had with female partners as he explained was that he fell in love with his old partner and it must have ended badly because he transferred due to their relationship. I do not think he was insulting Burgess when he said his "female partner".
So it is interesting that when Voight told the crew what he has been up to, that it was Lindsay that had the issue with it and no one else did.
I am also interested in finding out more about Lindsay's mom, we all know Voight took Lindsay in when she was in trouble.
I do not like that Halstead has a bounty on his head, they are going to have to take that guy down before he or his men have the chance to take Halstead down.
I too like seeing Olinksy in action.
One thing that was a little odd, newbie Medic just started at the firehouse, seeing her sit at a table with Atwater, Halstead and Ruzek was odd. It would have been way better if Otis or Herrmann walked her over to the table and introduced her to the guys.
Carissa: LOL about Ian Bohen, I agree!
Comment modified at
I bet Rayna choose Luke as Will Chase is a regular this season and then by seasons end she will choose Deacon. If that is how it happens then I hope that Deacon and Rayna stay together and no more back and forth with them.
I would like to see Will comfortable with being Gay and dating a guy and being truly happy.
I have a feeling that Jeff will be the baby daddy but after a period of time Avery will tell her he doesn't care who the father is and will want to be with her. However in the meantime she will hook up with Derek Hough's character.
I am looking forward to the return of one of my favorite shows!

When mostly-unseen work from one of our best living filmmakers makes its way online, you better damn give it your free time. That, today, is the case for Roman Polanski — maybe one of the best directors to ever live, if you break that whole game down — as Cinephilia & Beyond have provided a video which collects three early shorts, all of which hint at his future thematic interests. (They're even a fun watch, too.)
Presented here are the silent, black-and-white works Murder, Teeth Smile, and The Lamp. The first's use of color-free apartment spaces spiced with violence should instantly get you in the mood to watch Repulsion; the second's mix of voyeurism and humor, for me, brought to mind his absolutely insane thriller Bitter Moon (even though there's nothing in this "story" which serves as an echo); and the final entry, also the longest, is about a creator who ends up destroying his own work. When it comes to self-destruction and Polanski, inadvertent or not, you have your pick of the litter to make some auteurist connection.
Watch them all below:
Roman Polanski will return to theaters later this year, when we can expect a release of his stage adaptation Venus in Fur.
Are these an interesting peek into what Polanski would tackle later in his career? Did you enjoy them as is?

Almost seventy years after his death, D.H. Lawrence (1885—1930) remains one of the most complex and controversial figures in English literature. Remembering the days when the English writer was vilified as a writer of "sexy books with four-letter words," twice Governor-General's Award-winning poet Al Purdy feels that Lawrence should be celebrated not only for his prose work, but for his poetry.
"Lawrence's genius [as a poet] has long been obscured by the brilliance and fame of his novels and essays," Purdy writes...

Almost seventy years after his death, D.H. Lawrence (1885—1930) remains one of the most complex and controversial figures in English literature. Remembering the days when the English writer was vilified as a writer of "sexy books with four-letter words," twice Governor-General's Award-winning poet Al Purdy feels that Lawrence should be celebrated not only for his prose work, but for his poetry.
"Lawrence's genius [as a poet] has long been obscured by the brilliance and fame of his novels and essays," Purdy writes in his introduction to this literary feast. "But let's ignore both critics and admirers and look at the poems. At his very best, Lawrence's poems are unequaled."
Taking his own advice, Al Purdy sat down with fellow poet Doug Beardsley and over their favourite libations at Victoria's Waddling Dog pub, they chose a dozen of Lawrence's very best poems and discussed just why they thought this work was so outstanding.
The result, No One Else Is Lawrence!, will be of interest to Lawrence fans everywhere - but it also sheds light on the tastes and sensibilities of two important contemporary Canadian poets.
These twelve poems - "Kangaroo," "There Are No Gods," "Snake," "Man and Bat," "Mosquito," "Elephant," "Whales Weep Not!," "Fish," "Invocation to the Moon," "The Man of Tyre," "Bells" and "Tortoise Shout" - have never appeared in such a sympathetic or provocative setting. As an extra treat the authors include two poems of their own dedicated to the great English writer - Beardsley's "Lawrence's Shrine, Taos" and Purdy's "In Etruscan Tombs."
The Man of Tyre
by D.H. Lawrence
The man of Tyre went down to the sea pondering, for he was Greek, that God is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
And a woman who had been washing clothes in the pool of rock where a stream came down to the gravel of the sea and sank in who had spread white washing on the gravel banked above the bay,
who had lain her shift on the shore, on the shingle slope,
who had waded to the pale green sea of evening, out to a shoal,
pouring sea-water over herself now turned, and came slowly back, with her back to the evening sky.
Oh lovely, lovely with the dark hair piled up, as she went deeper, deeper down the channel, then rose shallower, shallower,
with the full thighs slowly lifting of the water wading shorewards and the shoulders pallid with light from the silent sky behind both breasts dim and mysterious, with the glamourous kindness of twilight between them and the dim blotch of black maidenhair like an indicator,
giving a message to the man —
So in the cane-brake he clasped his hands in delight that could only be god- given, and murmured:
Lo! God is one god! But here in the twilight godly and lovely comes Aphrodite out of the sea towards me!
Commentary The Man of Tyre
B. This seems paired with "Invocation to the Moon". They're both invocations to the feminine but here the invocation works brilliantly.
P. "Invocation" . . . is a little verbose and, as I pointed out, exaggerated. "The Man of Tyre" seems right, the phraseology. That seems to be all that needs to be said.
B. This is a glorious celebration of womanhood.
P. And religion. Because it's a religious poem, it makes the feeling itself religious.
B. That's a beautiful way of putting it. The celebration of the woman becomes religious.
P. He brings in religion, femininity, beauty, and sex. The whole works.
B. It's all one for Lawrence. The language, oh, the language in the third stanza is magnificent; in her, in her elemental femininity, giving a message to the man. It's a glorious painting of Frieda, no?
P. I think "Giving a message to the man" is amusing.
B. Well, Al, Frieda was probably the only woman for Lawrence. The language in that third stanza is not so surprising but it all comes together brilliantly.
P. The words themselves, even in the thoughts, the phraseology is not so startling, as you say, but ...
B. Often, in Lawrence, it's the cumulative effect, the incantatory build-up of line upon line.
P. He does something similar in "Bells," which we talk about next.
B. You see this more and more in the longer poems. Ginsberg attempted this.
P. Yes, but he piled lines upon lines to such a degree that they toppled over.
B. The technique can easily break the poem apart. But the poems we've chosen don't topple over.
P. Maybe the Americans worship Whitman so much that when they saw that Ginsberg was influenced by Whitman they liked him for that. And of course it was also what Ginsberg said. Sometimes Americans like to hear bad things about themselves. They're most interested in other people's opinions about them, so long as they can forgive the bad opinions.
B. Lawrence could have gone on and on in the third stanza but he uncharacteristically contains himself in the formal shape of the poem. "The Man of Tyre" is held beautifully. It's held within the poem, in a way that is spoken about in the last stanza.
P. There is some exaggeration but it's exaggeration that you can live with. I almost recall the first time I read this poem years ago and thought "what a lovely poem," and you read it many more times and in a commonplace voice because somehow Lawrence makes it commonplace and wonderful at the same time.
B. Your reading in that commonplace voice is so good for the poem because that's what the language calls for, you get rid of that jarring and rhyme of the "sea . . . me" so close together at the end. Read your way one is not disturbed by the ending.
P. I didn't even notice it. Also it's a little story. It's a story . . .
B. Meaning ...
P. Well, let's go through it. Incidentally, do all Greeks "ponder"? It makes you wonder. Anyway, it's giving him credit for being a philosopher.
B. In Greek mythology they do.
P. And philosophy too.
B. A minor cavil. I wish to hell we could get rid of Lawrence's extreme overuse of the exclamation point! But they don't bother you, eh?
P. I don't even think of them. Why do they bother you?
B. They suggest a weakness of expression, a weakness in the language which the punctuation is attempting to alleviate. if he had the language that he really wanted, the exclamation marks would be unnecessary. Maybe he doesn't have the language he wants, maybe it's not possible for words to convey what Lawrence often feels.
P. I read the poems for the sense of them, I pay no attention, unless it's a line break.
B. I guess I feel the language is good enough, and therefore it doesn't need them. He used them a lot and I don't think they're necessary.
P. No, I don't either. Sometimes Lawrence's whole language is exclamation.
B. Right. You don't need the marks. However, it's a minor cavil.
P. You like the word "cavil."
B. I seem to have just discovered it. It's just that these poems are so great, it's sometimes necessary to make some minor criticism, just to keep sane. And they could be better. But I don't mean to nitpick. "The Man of Tyre" is a great homage to the feminine.
P. Yes, though strongly religious because it makes female-male relations religious.
B. For Lawrence they were.

WHY THESE DOZEN POEMS OF D.H. LAWRENCE, and why these discussions between two friends of like mind about Lawrence?
Lawrence's genius has long been obscured by the brilliance and fame of his novels and essays, especially Lady Chatterly's Lover. "Oh that's the guy who wrote the sexy book with all those four-letter words" is liable to be the first comment one hears. "Wasn't he convicted of pornography?" is the second. The answer is yes to both those questions. And so was James Joyce, so have been a host of other writers whose names live, while those of their judges and accusers fade without even an echo.
Lawrence's critics have accused him of just about every sin in the book; his admirers are equally single-minded in their praise. But let's ignore both critics and admirers and look at the poems. At his very best, Lawrence's poems are unequaled. In the animal poems especially, the reader has joined the writer and leaped into the head of a kangaroo, has forgotten entirely that he/she is reading a few words on a page and becomes part of a trilogy consisting of reader, kangaroo, and above all, Lawrence.
In Italy a she-goat is climbing a low-growing almond tree: "like some horrid hairy God the Father in a William Blake imagination." One is stopped in his/her tracks by that line. How could anyone write it? There's a wild leap of the earthbound mind about it; link a hundred poets together with telepathy, and all of them together couldn't think of it. But there he is: God the Father without a depilatory inside the mind of long-dead William Blake, and yourself fascinated by it all.
Forget the nonsense you've read and heard about Lawrence; misconceptions are like a brain-eating disease. You have to read things for yourself, and not take anyone else's opinion, including ours. You have to voyage with the brain yourself, and these are far places of the imagination:
Nobody stuffs the world in at the eyes
The optic heart must venture
-thus saith Margaret Avison, and she speaks true.
FATHER WAS BORN ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY LINE above a pub in the town of Kimberley, three miles southeast of Lawrence's Eastwood, six miles northwest of Nottingham. I'd like to believe this explains my deep affinity for Lawrence, but there's another reason.
in grade ten I had an English teacher, a Mrs. Lampert. Our textbook had an enticing Mediterranean cover, but the same could not be said of its contents. This was the mid-1950s in cosmopolitan Montreal, but the book was stuffed with imitative Romantic and Neo-Georgian fluff designed to kill any reader's interest in poetry. My friend George Vlahos and I had convinced each other that there were only two true-blue poems here worthy of that name. His favourite was Auden's "Musee des Beaux Arts." Mine was Lawrence's "Snake."
In our teenage arrogance we slouched toward Mrs. Lampert, requesting that we take these two poems in class. When asked why, we responded like a Greek chorus, saying that these were the only two poems in the book. "No," said Mrs. Lampert. "Why not?" we asked, our jaws jutting toward her menacingly, our faces set in twin smirks like masks. "Because I don't understand them," she replied. "Poems aren't about meaning," we exclaimed triumphantly. "But, if you feel this way, we'd be glad to teach them in class." I never understood how she could have refused our generous offer. Or if this incident played any role in both of us soon after dropping out of school.
Eastwood is still uneasy about Lawrence. In 1971, while visiting relatives there, I happened to meet a very old man - probably an ex-miner - whose wife used to sit the wee Lawrence on her knee and take him for walks when he was a small boy. The old man told me: "After Lawrence left, Jessie Chambers moved in up there, ay, just a block away from Lynn Croft. I remember Jessie telling me wife "He was just a sexmaniac, ay", and the old miner's eyes went slightly crazy, as if he could almost see the dismembered bodies of young virgins Lawrence had hacked up.
The book you hold in your hands came about as the result of dozens of lunches over a three-year period. We began by discussing poetry, then poems, then the best poems of our time. We kept an anthology of these "best" poems, though it grew slowly, rather like the interest in a bank account. To say it was difficult to "get in" is an understatement. Stakes were high. We'd read a poet a week. The great poets of our century were represented by two or three poems; in the uppermost echelons Yeats had five or six.
Lawrence had twelve. We were nervous. How could this be? Were we suggesting that Lawrence was twice as good as Yeats? This was not only not possible, it was not permitted. Yet there it was.
And here it is. Such a different book. I'm certain nothing like it has been done.
Our wish is to turn and return the reader to Lawrence's best work, particularly the creatures, reptiles, and animals in Birds, Beasts and Flowers. This is the book to read first. Might I suggest that the commentaries be read the same way poems are read: one or two at a time?
Finally, I'd like to say how much we enjoyed making this book.

The Lost Pre-Raphaelite: The Secret Lives and Loves of Robert Bateman by Nigel Daly
Wilmington Square Books
When the author bought a fortified house in Staffordshire, he discovered a mysterious set of relationships revolving round a now almost forgotten artist. Robert Bateman, a prominent Pre-Raphaelite, was the son of a local millionaire and was to marry the granddaughter of the Earl of Carlisle. But he had abandoned his life as a public artist in mid-career to live as a recluse, while his father lost his money, and his glamorous wife-to-be had married the local vicar, already in his sixties and shortly to die. The discovery of two paintings by Bateman, both clearly autobiographical, led to an absorbing forensic investigation into Bateman's life. The story moves from Staffordshire to Lahore in India, to Canada, to Wyoming, and then, via Buffalo Bill to Peru and back to England. En route the author pieces together an astonishing story of love and loss, of art and politics, of morality and hypocrisy, of family secrets, concealed but never quite completely obscured.
Enquire about The Lost Pre-Raphaelite: The Secret Lives and Loves of Robert Bateman by Nigel Daly.
I'll Drink to That: A Life in Style With a Twist by Betty Halbreich
Penguin Press
Eighty-six-year-old Betty Halbreich is a true original who could have stepped straight out of Stephen Sondheim's repertoire. She has spent nearly forty years as the legendary personal shopper at Bergdorf Goodman. She has helped many find their true selves through clothes, frank advice, and her own brand of wisdom. She is trusted by the most discriminating persons -- including Hollywood's top stylists -- to tell them what looks best. But Halbreich's personal transformation from cosseted young girl to a fearless truth teller is the greatest makeover of her career.
A Chicago native, Halbreich moved to Manhattan at twenty after marrying the dashing Sonny Halbreich, a sophisticated New Yorker who enjoyed the city's nightlife. On the surface, they were a great match, but looks can be deceiving; an unfaithful Sonny was emotionally distant while Halbriech became increasingly anguished. After two decades, the fraying marriage finally came undone. Bereft without Sonny and her identity as a wife, she hit rock bottom.
After she began the frightening process of reclaiming herself and started therapy, Halbreich was offered a lifeline in the form of a job at the legendary luxury store Bergdorf Goodman. Soon, she was asked to run the store's first personal shopping service. It was a perfect fit. Meticulous, impeccable, hardworking, elegant and -- most of all -- delightfully funny, Halbreich has never been afraid to tell it to her clients straight. She won't sell something just to sell it. If an outfit or shoe or purse is too expensive, she'll dissuade you from buying it. As Helbreich says, "There are two things nobody wants to face: their closet and their mirror." She helps women do both, every day.

The Dog by Joseph O'Neill
The author of the best-selling and award-winning Netherland now gives us his eagerly awaited, stunningly different new novel: a tale of alienation and heartbreak in Dubai.
Distraught by a breakup with his long-term girlfriend, our unnamed hero leaves New York to take an unusual job in a strange desert metropolis. In Dubai at the height of its self-invention as a futuristic Shangri-la, he struggles with his new position as the "family officer" of the capricious and very rich Batros family. And he struggles, even more helplessly, with the "doghouse," a seemingly inescapable condition of culpability in which he feels himself constantly trapped—even if he's just going to the bathroom, or reading e-mail, or scuba diving. A comic and philosophically profound exploration of what has become of humankind's moral progress, The Dog is told with Joseph O'Neill's hallmark eloquence, empathy, and storytelling mastery. It is a brilliantly original, achingly funny fable for our globalized times.
Midnight at the Pera Palace: The Birth of Modern Istanbul by Charles King
W.W. Norton
At midnight, December 31, 1925, citizens of the newly proclaimed Turkish Republic celebrated the New Year. For the first time ever, they had agreed to use a nationally unified calendar and clock.
Yet in Istanbul—an ancient crossroads and Turkey's largest city—people were looking toward an uncertain future. Never purely Turkish, Istanbul was home to generations of Greeks, Armenians, and Jews, as well as Muslims. It welcomed White Russian nobles ousted by the Russian Revolution, Bolshevik assassins on the trail of the exiled Leon Trotsky, German professors, British diplomats, and American entrepreneurs—a multicultural panoply of performers and poets, do-gooders and ne'er-do-wells. During the Second World War, thousands of Jews fleeing occupied Europe found passage through Istanbul, some with the help of the future Pope John XXIII. At the Pera Palace, Istanbul's most luxurious hotel, so many spies mingled in the lobby that the manager posted a sign asking them to relinquish their seats to paying guests.
In beguiling prose and rich character portraits, Charles King brings to life a remarkable era when a storied city stumbled into the modern world and reshaped the meaning of cosmopolitanism.

Publication History
- Issue published online: 1 JUL 2010

- Altitudinal gradients;
- Beta diversity;
- Boosted regression trees;
- Geodiversity;
- Tropical mountains
Questions: Do growth forms and vascular plant richness follow similar patterns along an altitudinal gradient? What are the driving mechanisms that structure richness patterns at the landscape scale?
Location: Southwest Ethiopian highlands.
Methods: Floristic and environmental data were collected from 74 plots, each covering 400 m2. The plots were distributed along altitudinal gradients. Boosted regression trees were used to derive the patterns of richness distribution along altitudinal gradients.
Results: Total vascular plant richness did not show any strong response to altitude. Contrasting patterns of richness were observed for several growth forms. Woody, graminoid and climber species richness showed a unimodal structure. However, each of these morphological groups had a peak of richness at different altitudes: graminoid species attained maximum importance at a lower elevations, followed by climbers and finally woody species at higher elevations. Fern species richness increased monotonically towards higher altitudes, but herbaceous richness had a dented structure at mid-altitudes. Soil sand fraction, silt, slope and organic matter were found to contribute a considerable amount of the predicted variance of richness for total vascular plants and growth forms.
Main Conclusions: Hump-shaped species richness patterns were observed for several growth forms. A mid-altitudinal richness peak was the result of a combination of climate-related water–energy dynamics, species–area relationships and local environmental factors, which have direct effects on plant physiological performance. However, altitude represents the composite gradient of several environmental variables that were interrelated. Thus, considering multiple gradients would provide a better picture of richness and the potential mechanisms responsible for the distribution of biodiversity in high-mountain regions of the tropics.

Book Description:
The New York Times bestselling novel that woke up critics, book clubs, and women everywhere. For a group of four New York friends the past decade has been defined largely by marriage and motherhood, but it wasn't always that way. Growing up, they had been told that their generation would be different. And for a while this was true. They went to good colleges and began high-powered careers. But after marriage and babies, for a variety of reasons, they decided to stay home, temporarily, to raise their children. Now, ten years later, they are still at home, unsure how they came to inhabit lives so different from the ones they expecteduntil a new series of events begins to change the landscape of their lives yet again, in ways they couldn't have predicted. Written in Meg Wolitzer's inimitable, glittering style, The Ten-Year Nap is wickedly observant, knowing, provocative, surprising, and always entertaining, as it explores the lives of its women with candor, wit, and generosity. Meg Wolitzers's newest book, The Interestings, is now available from Riverhead Books.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class: First Drive
As luxury brands wage a battle royale for mini-SUV shoppers, Mercedes-Benz offers a welterweight fighter in the new GLA-Class. It has more practicality than its profile — a butched-up hatchback — suggests, and the turbocharged-to-the-hilt GLA45 AMG version packs rowdy, gleeful performance. Unfortunately, this SUV, if you want to call it that, loses its shine as a daily driver.

denzel curry, florida's product of modern day hip hop
We caught up with the rising MC ahead of the Yeesuz Florida show, he told us why he wants absolutely nothing for Christmas, why getting expelled is good and about his softer, more romantic side.
Related topics
First things first, lock into an exclusive track premiere of a new creation between Denzel Curry and Deniro Farrar after their hookup at Boiler Room NYC. LISTEN HERE.
A direct product of modern day hip hop, rising Florida MC Denzel Curry does not take kindly to threats. The blood-curdling screams recorded onto his current mixtape, N64, demonstrate why. Dark and violent, as a kid, Denzel witnessed man's unforgiving and uncensored brutality, first hand. The music he records today, rages ferociously. First exposed to the senseless murder of his cousin in Carol City, Florida, aged 10, Denzel's class mate Trayvon Martin was then shot and killed shortly after. "l'm about to own a gun. They say l'm too young to get a hand gun, l can only get a shotgun but l just really want a revolver. They're always shooting them over here. The world is a dangerous place." Creating trippy narratives, 18-year-old Aquarius killer Denzel translates the childhood traumas that have influenced him darkly into fantastical scenarios, recorded over menacing and eerie instrumentals. "I experience life in an intense way. Growing up in Carol City you tend to see a lot of shit that should never be seen: drugs and prostitutes. I couldn't be one of those people, most of them die, I'm not going to be laid out on the street. I wanted to talk about what's going down in my music, because at the end of the day, there were people l knew in my area, who were killers."
A dormant member of skateboarding, 4AD hip hop producer SpaceGhostPurrp's Raider Klan crew, Denzel is currently holed up at his family digs, grafting full time on new music. Grandma calls time on our interview. Placing his forthcoming, terror laced album's evolution somewhere between fiction, real life and nightmarish possibilities, the raw, gritty shroom-inspired universe Denzel now inhabits will "surprise everybody." Playing around with analogue beats, gaming theme tunes and fresh equipment, his primary focus is to hone slicker production techniques that will allow the delivery of his powerful, lyrical anecdotes to take impact with a distinctive and heavy blow. He vibes off the elements of reality, popular music commonly underplays. He does not attempt to photoshop out the ugly truths that struggle and poverty perpetuate. Denzel's brutal, up-hill, violent memories are out there for all to experience. When comparing his honest depiction of life to the fake, diamond-encrusted day to day commercial hip hop more typically betrays, his presence feels more relevant than ever. We caught up with young Denzel ahead of him attending the Yeesuz Florida show, and he told us why he wants absolutely nothing for Christmas, why getting expelled is good and about his softer, romantic side. Everyone loves a bad boy. Get comfortable.
You up to much today?
I'm going to the yeezus concert tonight.
What do you make of the Bound 2 video?
Aww man l didn't like it, cos l knew Kanye could do better.
Do you think Yeezy is the most important artist in hip hop at the moment?
Probably out of him and Drake, funny thing is, l didn't even used to like Drake.
It's been a big year for hip hop...
I've been through my own thing.
Who is the most important artist out there, for you?
Outkast. I've seen Big Boi in person, that was a big moment in my career, he came in and l put two fingers up and he put two fingers up like what's up, it was cool to meet him.
How does your music represent you?
Being an Aquarius, reality and imagination don't really get mixed up but they do merge, they sometimes need each other, so l take the stuff from reality that l grew up on, that l've been watching and stuff that plays on my mind and put it into one big story to make my stories interesting but very trippy. Me, l'm a weird person so my music is kind of weird but l want my music to be weird.
Do you experience life in an intense way?
Pretty much, I experience it in an intense way, growing up in Tennessee you tend to see a lot of shit that will never possibly be seen, you know when most people grow up you see slagging and drugs and prostitutes, you just see a lot of stuff.
Does the world still feel like a dangerous place to you?
Yeah it's a dangerous place, they always shooting over here.
Do you find the darker side of life more thrilling?
Of course the darker side feels more thrilling. Darkness is important if you were having fun all the time you wouldn't know what dark is.
I guess there is the risk though that liking the dark side leaves you in a grittier pace, prone to negativity. Do you feel like you're in a good place in your life now or do you feel like you're still in the midst of dealing with the violence you were exposed to as a kid?
I'm in a good position in my life, but you know, I'm still living in the same city and l want to get out of here. I won't be satisfied until l get out of here.
I wanted to chat through the story of how the track N64 came together...
The first sound you hear on that track is an original N64 beat. l was just writing to it and then that's how the chorus came about. I wrote all that and the chorus in about an hour maybe like half an hour and l called everyone in the room to listen to it and everybody liked it, everyone was like, this shit is hard, so then l recorded it all and my manger wanted to add more to it, so we got Nuri in on the track and added the news clip. I recorded it and we sent it off to our engineer and boom that's how the N64 track happened. We were talking about being socially aware and about the whole Trevyn situation, how he got killed for no reason and then Zimmerman was let go. That's some bullshit when then you see how Zimmerman is appearing in the news and being a violent person, and really, they let this person go, like seriously.
What are you focused on more at then moment, is it lyrics or the beat?
It is more lyrics, because l have to tell my story.
Is the music going to get darker and darker do you think?
Yeah it will be getting darker, cos it will be more real.
What's going to happen if suddenly you fall in love and it's brilliant and you end up really happy?
I'll write about that, it's not like l'm going to stop myself writing, shit I've made love songs. I'm just going to get better at writing love songs, and they're going to be strictly for females.
What's your favourite love song?
Smooth Operator by Sade; You've got sweetest Tabou and Prototype by Outkast, Pink and Blue from Outkast too, Erykah Badu. I like listening to shit like that, if l was ever to create love songs, I would want to create them like that so it can touch your soul.
What have you got planned for Christmas?
This Christmas is going to be crazy, l'm going to make sure everybody is good this Christmas.
What do you want for Christmas?
I don't want shit for Christmas, I just want to have a Christmas where l'm like 'hey, l'm not broke.' The best Christmas that l had was probably when I got my Xbox, when I first got an Xbox, it was like the very first Xbox when it came out, my Mum came up to my room and she had a big ass box and l was like 'oh my god it's an Xbox.'
Thanks for taking the time to chat.
You're welcome, l enjoyed it, oh and don't know if you did it but when Dark and Violent came out l think you guys were the first to post that.
Yeah that was us, big fan of the music.
I have to go cos my grandma is calling me. HOLD UP GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breakfast in Valparaíso
Mike Ladd
In Valparaíso the streets belong to the dogs, the roofs to the cats, and the sky to the people. The Valparaisans are like the Venetians, but they build their eccentricities in the air instead of the water. Their soul is steepness and their emblems are the staircase and the stilt.Read

Kory Quinn
9:30 pm
"I suppose if one could pinpoint exactly what it is that separates good folk and roots-based music from mediocre schlock, everyone would be getting it right. Obviously, not everyone does—but Portland-by-way-of-Indianapolis singer/songwriter Kory Quinn is one of those whose music not only upholds well-worn traditions but also sounds fresh in the process. It might be a case of believability: Quinn's latest nine-song collection, Waitin' for a Train, carries on the tradition of wandering troubadours and train-hopping drifters, and if that's a romantic notion (it's not entirely fabricated—Quinn recently took a trip across the US by train, although it was funded by Kickstarter, so one presumes he wasn't hopping from boxcar to boxcar), it's one that Quinn imbues with authenticity. In a crowded field of local roots musicians, Quinn stands out as one who's got his bead aimed precisely at the truth. "
Hilary Scott
9:30 pm
Hilary Scott is a multiple award-winning singer-songwriter who brings her unique brand of melodic and lyrically memorable songs to audiences nationally and internationally. Euro Ferrari, renowned for his work in all genres and with famous artists (Clapton, Sting, Pavarotti) all over the world, when speaking of Hilary Scott and her music said: "
…Hilary Scott writes and sings in a way that creates a fascinating and intimate world, and it is enough for her to utilize only a whisper to raise deep emotions in the listener, her voice is absolutely extraordinary in its emotional greatness… it would be difficult for her pop/country style not to enter deep into the heart, in every way."
Jeff Crosby and the Refugees
9:30 pm
Silent Conversations
deals with the bittersweet emotions of leaving home and family for the first time and finding new appreciation for what you left behind. Partly written as Jeff moved from small town Idaho to L.A. with the rest composed during a month-long trip to Columbia, the five songs reflect the change he was making in his life at the time and the clarity that comes from distance. The title track, "Silent Conversations," was written while standing in the doorway of a catholic church in Colombia during a torrential downpour. "This Old Town" is a reaction to coming home after moving to LA, how different everything looks and how the place shaped him. "Family, How Ya Been" is taken from letters Jeff was attempting to write home while staying in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. Jeff says, "I'm not very good at keeping in touch or writing home so naturally the letters turned into a song. I found the poem while moving my stuff to LA and started performing the tune at pubs and bars. People really reacted to it so I decided to record it for the EP."

Sounders hoping to get back on track
With one of the most challenging stretches of their season beginning Sunday night against Houston, the Sounders will be hoping that cold-water splash of reality has an effect.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Houston @ Sounders FC, 7:30 p.m., ESPN2
Heading into the Fourth of July weekend, Seattle had a 10-point lead in the hunt for its first Supporter's Shield. It had the inside track for home-field advantage throughout the Major League Soccer playoffs, and reinforcements were on their way with World Cup representatives Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin set to return from Brazil.
The Sounders have lost three of their four MLS matches since, including their last two.
"I think we got a little too comfortable in our positions and the way we were playing," forward Chad Barrett said Thursday after training.
"But two losses will wake anybody up."
With one of the most challenging stretches of their season beginning Sunday night against Houston, the Sounders will be hoping that cold-water splash of reality has an effect.
The attacking chemistry that characterized the early part of the schedule has showed itself only sporadically in recent matches.
The short break for the MLS All-Star Game, in which four Sounders made an appearance, didn't help matters. Nor did the fact that while three of them returned to training this week, Yedlin flew overseas to meet with an unidentified European club ahead of a potential transfer.
"We had some rhythm already, in some past games, but then some players had to go," midfielder Marco Pappa said.
"They're great soccer players, so they can come back and play with no problem. But it's just the rhythm."
Injuries have also hurt cohesion, especially in defense.
Brad Evans returned for the one-goal loss in San Jose after missing the 3-0 defeat to the Galaxy at home. Djimi Traore hasn't made an appearance since late May, though he went through full training this week.
Chad Marshall's fender-bender turned into a two-game absence that finally looks set to end Sunday.
"I hope so," fellow defender Jalil Anibaba said. "Obviously, we need him. When he's back there, we're real solid."
Without him, the gap in the standings has begun to close.
Sporting Kansas City has overtaken the Sounders in the Supporter's Shield hunt, though Seattle does have two games in hand. Real Salt Lake and L.A. are coming on strong in the West.
Now comes a stretch that will see Seattle play five league games and an Open Cup semifinal all before September. It includes road trips to Salt Lake and Portland and begins with three matches in six days.
"What we try to do is approach each game individually," Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. "We've mapped out lineups for all three games in our minds.
"But in general, game No. 1 is the most important one."
Game No. 1, the first of six in 20 days, is Sunday at CenturyLink. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.

Emerging payments in emerging markets0
Posted on 27th Apr 2012 by Ernesto Haikewitsch in Corporate
Today, smartphones give us round-the-clock access to a wealth of information and services. We can book hotels, email colleagues or reserve a table at our favourite restaurant (and even pay the bill via the handset). But what about those of us who don't own a smartphone? In countries such as the US and the UK, smartphone penetration currently stands at about 50%, but this drops to about 20% in emerging markets.
That's an astonishing number of people who are using early mobile devices, but that doesn't mean they are missing out on the latest advances in mobile payments. You may have seen my post a few days ago about Gemalto being selected as the technology provider for Transfer in Mexico, which aims to bring banking services to previously unreachable areas thanks to mobile phones. This is all possible through traditional text (SMS) messages rather than through data-hungry applications.
As research group Forrester identified on their mobile payments blog last month, electronic money will keep on growing until it becomes the norm for us to make digital payments for every purchase. The impact this is already having in places such as Mexico and Kenya is phenomenal, letting people send money to friends and family, pay for shopping, utility bills, or even transport, without the need to travel or carry cash around potentially dangerous areas.
Kenya in particular is a world leader in mobile payments, where its M-Pesa platform has been in place for years and now has over 14 million subscribers. In fact, only last week Business Daily Africa's George Ngigi reported on the Mobile Money Africa blog that, "Cash deposits held by mobile phone money transfer providers have grown to more than Sh176 billion (US $2.1billion), equivalent to a tenth of the Sh1.5 trillion held by commercial banks."
As far as adoption goes, there are two main criteria that need to be met. Namely, that the service is secure, yet easy to use. Contrary to some beliefs, mobile transactions are actually a lot more secure than traditional methods. Your check won't get lost in the post; your bulging pay-packet won't get stolen on a night out and no data is left on your phone, as the above diagram shows – all transactions are secured digitally in the cloud using proven TSM technologies. The Gemalto Mobile Payment Platform (GMPP) identifies the sender, and uses a second channel – Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) – to prompt the sender for his PIN. If the PIN is correct, the user is authenticated, the GMPP processes the request and executes it.
Kenya has been making the footprints in which other nations can follow on the journey to a cashless society. Opening banking and transfer services up to all, no matter what network or device, could lead to the biggest shake-up of the financial world in living memory. You don't need an app or the latest NFC handsets to take part in the next big global revolution. The Irish author Jonathan Swift once wrote that "a wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart". In the next few years we may also see the wise man with money in his phone as well.
