Here's "Rescue Me" star Denis Leary at an event in NYC (left) -- and '70s supermodel and "American Gigolo" star Lauren Hutton at a charity event a little while back (right).
Only one was rumored to have a lesbian relationship with Julie Christie.
We're just sayin'.
First? Again?
holy crap... they do look alike.... they seem like twins
Damn jp you st00pid
oh my lord that is hilarious!!!! i was just thinking to myself yesterday that denis leary has pretty cool hair for an older dude. now i know why...its cuz he is a supermodel!!! allofcraigs.com is a cool site check it out!
Everyone should know Denis Leary is a joke thief. Practically all of the entire album No Cure For Cancer as well as a lot of other material was stolen from the actual original performer, Bill Hicks. If you don't believe me, Google Denis Leary Bill Hicks Joke Thief and see what comes up. As many comedians will flat out tell you Leary is a thief.
WOW! They look like brother and sister!
Doesn't Hutton have some form of STD? What a shame.
Jeez! You aren't kidding!
I LOVE Denis Leary and Rescue Me. Great Show!
Now, that is right on!
Totally, TMZ. Uncanny likeness.
OMG! WTF?! You're right TMZ. I never noticed it before. That's too funny. BTW, Rescue Me is a GREAT show (except this season seems really slow and just filler).
TMZ, this is the best look-a-like you guys have ever done! Bravo. LOL
For a second, I thought it was Dennis Leary in drag. Haha Even the blue eyes match. Scary. Check between her legs, make sure she's not him.
Gee Rodney (#4) -- and what kind of sissified name is "Rodney" anyway? -- you sound awful bitter. Like maybe Leary kicked your ass in high school or maybe you were the fat kid in gym class that was always his target during dodgeball games? Am I onto something here? Get over it and move on, dork.

Much like Jaime Garcia, who the St. Louis Cardinals are announcing a 4 year extension with today, Colby Rasmus will be arbitration eligible at the end of the season. Yet Garcia is about to enjoy security while Rasmus' future is anything but secure.
The touted 5-tool center fielder was drafted in the first round of 2005's MLB draft. He hit well through the minors and became the fifth best prospect in baseball in the 2008 Baseball America Top-100 list. In 2009, he moved up to third. But as of now, he's looking more like a bust than a boon.
According to Joe Strauss of the Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals are reconsidering their stance of trading Colby Rasmus. Last year, he was a player that the team was interested in retaining. And why not, Rasmus enjoyed a fairly breakthrough season last year. He hit .276 with 23 HR and 66 RBI. It was a good improvement over his rookie season, and despite the rumors of Rasmus asking for a trade, he stayed a Cardinal.
The 2011 season started out well for Rasmus. He lit up the world in April as he got a chance to hit in the #2 slot in from of Albert Pujols. Being the hitter in front of Pujols, he would always get something around the strike zone to hit because the last thing you want to do is walk the guy who hits in front of the best hitter in baseball (or was before this season, but that's another story altogether).
His defense was much improved too, with many recognizing a renewed focus in the outfield at the start of the season. He was making good decisions, taking good routes, and making good throws. Something he has struggled with. [click to continue…]

Fujifilm X100T Overview | Digital Photography Review
The Fujifilm FinePix X100 was a milestone camera in the industry as one of the first large sensor, prime lens cameras to achieve widespread popularity. Its classic look, obviously cribbed from a certain German camera maker, were justified by the excellent image quality its 35mm equivalent f/2 lens could produce. It was also a rare example of a camera its maker continued to develop, long after it hit the market. An original X100 running the latest firmware is a much better camera than the one that Fujifilm originally launched. Impressively, this work continued even after the second-generation, Fujifilm X100S had been launched. Fujifilm has continued this process of improvement, fine-tuning and evolution to create the X100T. From the outside it looks very much like the original model but it's packed with a host of changes, modifications and additions that promise to make it still better than what's gone before. There's a Japanese approach to continuous improvement often refered to as 'kaizen,' and it's hard not to see its application in Fujifilm's approach to its X series cameras. So, at its heart, the X100T shares its core features: the 16 megapixel CMOS sensor with X-Trans color filter array and excellent 23mm f/2 lens with its predecessor, the X100S. But almost everything beyond that has been reworked, re-assessed or refined…….

Fujifilm updates X-mount lens roadmap through end of 2015 |
Digital Photography Review
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is pleased to release an updated road map for X mount interchangeable lenses.
A large-diameter medium telephoto lens (the XF90mmF2.0R) features for the first time on the development road map for first half 2015. The next available lens will be the XF50-140mm F2.8 R OIS WR. Following on from the XF18-135mm lens, this will be Fujifilm's second weather resistant lens designed to partner its X-T1 camera. Other updates to the road map include the previously announced "Ultra-wide angle lens" being confirmed as the "XF16mmF1.4 R" with a guide launch date of mid 2015. And the planned launch of the XF16-55mmF2.8 WR lens moving to Spring 2015 and the Super Tele-Photo Zoom lens to Winter 2015. Highly regarded for their outstanding image quality, resolution and well-built bodies, the unique X mount lens range now includes super-wide angle to super-telephoto range lenses and a large-diameter lens with rich bokeh and high resolution…….

Custom made thumbrest for X-E1 | ChevChelios
on Digital Photography Review
Just want to share my version of a thumbrest for my X-E1: Modelled from wax directly on the camera surface. Casted in CoCroMo (Prosthetics-steel) and finally Glasspearl-blasted. Glued some "leather" from an old Minolta X-300 on it and mounted it via 2-comoponent glue to the Fuji. I did not like the hot-shoe-mounted rests……..

I've been an X100 and X100S user for about three years now. There are many things that I appreciate about both cameras, but chiefly what keeps me coming back to them is their relatively small size, almost silent shutter and excellent, very sharp 35mm equivalent prime lens. I've played around with the WCL-X100 screw-in wide converter, which provides a 28mm (equivalent) field of view and while I've always been impressed by the minimal quality degradation, 28mm isn't useful enough to me that I attach it very often. The design philosophy and operation of the TCL-X100 is exactly the same as the older WCL-X100, but rather than taking the effective focal length down, it increases it from 35mm to 50mm equivalent. This might seem like a relatively modest increase, but the difference between 35mm and 50mm is pretty significant for the sort of photos that the X100 and X100S do best – candid portraiture and street-type shooting. Like the older WCL-X100 the TCL-X100 is attached by screwing it onto the front of the camera's lens, and in-camera geometric corrections are activated using a menu option. With the menu option activated, a small yellow symbol is also displayed in the viewfinder to remind you that the corrections are being applied but there is no electronic connection between the camera and TLC-X100 (so you'll need to remember to activate / deactivate the menu option when you attach or detach the lens)……..

I reported my light leak to Fuji AUS 4 working days ago. They immediately responded and asked for detailed info on how I was encountering the issue. I responded same day. Start of day 4 and I received this response from Fuji:
Thank you for your detailed reply, it is clear your use of the camera is adversely affected. Since Friday we have learnt more of this phenomenon. We have been advised that while very few X-T1 bodies would display this, any X-T1 that needs this resolved can be serviced.

The X-E2 is an interesting camera – its shape and reliance on more traditional, dedicated external controls means it probably isn't going to make a big dent in sales of mid-range Canon and Nikons. There may not be a huge theoretical difference between a dedicated aperture ring or shutter speed dial and a modern DSLR's control dials, but the practical difference is two-fold. Firstly, it risks intimidating the casual shooter who wants better shots without necessarily wanting to learn photography. But, for those people who have learned or want to, it can help engender a real sense of connection between the operator's actions and the outcome. For those people who 'get' what the X-E2 is about, though, it's a top-notch photographic tool – engaging, responsive and regularly delivering excellent images. It's small enough to be portable and has the classic looks (and, increasingly, the lens range), to satisfy keen photographers. Its price puts it squarely into competition with the D7100/EOS 70D/K-3 class of DSLRs, but we think the smaller size, dedicated lens range and retro charm mean the X-E2 offers plenty those cameras can't. The excellent F2.8-4.0 kit zoom should be another plus in the 'X-E2′ column, for many, as optically it's a cut above the lenses supplied with most SLRs. There are many things the X-E2 isn't, a movie camera being foremost amongst them, but it excels at its core purpose of being a purist photographers' camera……

X-T1 + 56 1.2 impression from a X-E2 user | Albert on
Digital Photography Review
Got to play with X-T1 at the local Fujifilm store, together with Zeiss 12mm, Fuji 14mm, 23mm, 27mm, 35mm, 56mm 1.2 and 55-200mm lenses. Coming from X-E2 and have used XPro1/X-E1/X100, here are my impressions:
- The EVF is not as lag free as everyone was saying here. It feels about the same as X-E2. Blurring still occurs when I pan the camera horizontally. The blurring is more noticeable with wide angles lenses and less with telephoto.
- The EVF sure looks big and the uncluttered display is nice (Fuji should have done this since day one).
- The handgrip design is very nice. It feels solid and secure. I'm using the Fuji grip with X-E2 and I'm pretty sure I can skip the additional handgrip with this one.
- The EV compensation dial is not as stiff as someone was reporting here, about the same as X-E2 and I have no problem changing it with just my thumb.
- The 4-way controller is sure hard to press. The buttons are sloped/recessed towards the center which makes them harder to press compared to having flat buttons.
- The shutter dial detents do not feel quite as positively as X-E2, it has a bit of a mushy feel. Same with the dials for changing metering and drive mode.
- The tilting LCD has a solid feel.
- 8fps is fast and I can keep shooting without any slow down. With X-E2, high speed shooting slows down after a second or two.
- During the high speed shooting mode, there is no live view between frames. All I saw were 8 frames presented within the second. This is the same as X-E2.
- AF seems about as fast as X-E2. It could be a little bit faster (hard to tell), as the X-T1 seems to drive the AF motor faster.
- Shutter sound is quiet, which is the same as X-E2….

We've just returned from the CP+ show in Japan, where Fujifilm was kind enough to loan us a beta sample of its new 10-24mm zoom lens for the X-series interchangeable lens cameras. Although this is a beta (not final) sample, Fujifilm is confident enough about its performance to allow us to post images.

We first laid our hands on the Fujifilm X-T1 about a month ago when it was announced. Now that we've had some time to shoot with it extensively, we've gathered our thoughts on using the latest X-Trans camera from Fuji. The X-T1 offers much of what the X-E2 does, including a 16 megapixel APS-C sensor with on-chip phase detection. More than that, it offers an SLR-style sculpted handgrip and weather-resistant sealing. Click the links below to find out what the X-T1 is like to use in the field. We've also added 40 images to a gallery of real-world samples taken in Japan, during and after the recent CP+ show in Yokohama. Click the link below to go straight to the gallery……

text: The Pettyjohns originally came from the Alsace-Lorraine region in the north-east of France. This area has been contested between Germany and France for ages. Here they were a small minority of Protestants, possibly French Huguenots, living in a country where ninety eight percent of the people were Catholic. The original surname was Petit-jean which means "Little John." It is believed that the Petit-jeans lived in what today would be known as Alsace-Lorraine, which is located in the north-eastern region of France near Germany . Later, they moved and settled in the north-western region known as Normandy. After years of persecution, the Petit-jeans left France and immigrated to England. It has been theorized by a Brian Pettyjohn that the Petit-jeans came over from France with the famous William the Conqueror. According to Brian they probably did not fight, but provided William the Conqueror with financial aid and he granted them land in the southeast of England for their support. William the Conqueror, who was the Duke of Normandy and was the great-grandson of the famous Viking 'Rollo', crossed the English Channel with 7000 men and became the great Norman conqueror of England. In 1066, at the battlefield of Hastings in Sussex County, William defeated the Anglo-Saxon claimant, thus uniting the country into a feudal monarch and ending Saxon rule forever . Consequently, French, which was William the Conqueror's native language and the language of Normandy, became the language of the English court . The Petit-jeans lived peacefully in England for centuries. During this time period, the Petit-jeans anglicized their name to Pettyjohn. (Until the middle of the 19th century most Pettyjohn's were not literate and the name was spelled phonetically by any barister or attorney drawing up a document. Therefore all spellings of Pettyjohn are related.) Scott Neal checked some of the many records available on England and found several that date back to the fourteenth century; therefore, these new finding tend to support Brian Pettyjohn's theory and will be the premise of our investigations. The Pettyjohns settled around Hastings, Sussex County. There was a record of a John Petijohan in 1327 on the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex; a John Petyjohn in 1386 in Essex; a John Petyjon in 1443 in Highworth Hundred, Wilts; and a record of the baptism of a John Petijohn on Oct. 16, 1559 in Saint Clements Church, Hastings, Sussex County. Later, a branch of the Pettyjohn family left Hastings and settled near Plymouth in Brixham, Devonshire. The earliest record is of a John Pettijohn that married Isabell on June 8, 1558 in Brixham, Devonshire, England . This John would be the great-great grandfather of our immigrant ancestor James Pettyjohn. The Pettyjohns lived happily in England, free from religious persecution to the time of King Henry VIII. Then, sometime after the death of King Henry VIII, his daughter the famous Queen "Bloody Mary", took over the crown and turned the nation back over to a Catholic country. Once again the persecution against them began, so many of them left England and went to Wales. After the death of Bloody Mary, Elizabeth took over the crown as Queen of England and once again restored England back to a Protestant nation. This was the time period known as the English Renaissance. The population of England was about five million people. The Pettyjohns surely took pleasure from partaking in activities of the time such as sports, entertainment, diversion and merrymaking--the very things that were so greatly discouraged upon under the rule of Queen Bloody Mary. Furthermore, in the early 1600s economic times soon hit hard for the common farmers, serfs and peasants, who had become restricted from the lands that their grandfathers had farmed centuries before. The lords of the lands sought after larger and quicker profits from the grazing of sheep for wool. These poor yeoman left their homes and sought refuge in large cities where industry thrived. Moreover, many formed trading companies and left England seeking to start a new life in the New World. This was probably the case with the Pettyjohn family. James Pettyjohn, who was born about 1617 in Brixham, Devonshire, England, came to America and settled on the Eastern shore of Virginia around 1635. The first child of James and Isabell Pettyjohn was James Pettyjohn, Jr. James must have lived his whole life on the Eastern Shore of Virginia for his son and grandson's births were recorded in the Hungars Parish records . His descendant, James Pettyjohn, IV, evidently moved to Sussex Co., Delaware and on Apr. 1, 1773 married a Patience Marvel . It is thought that their son, James Pettyjohn, V, fought in the War of 1812 and served in Captain John Kollock's Company, Delaware Militia. The second child of James and Isabell Pettyjohn was William Pettyjohn. William was recorded living in Accomac County, Virginia between 1684 and 1702 . William died in Prince Anne County, Virginia in 1712 and nothing more is known about William. However, it has been speculated by Jack Pettijohn of Rockville, Maryland, that William's descendants settled in Chowan County, North Carolina. It is interesting because a Thomas Pettijohn made a will in 1767 in Chowan Co., and his heirs were Frances, John, Thomas, Abraham and Sarah . Two of Thomas children, Thomas, Jr. and John, fought in the American Revolution in North Carolina. The third child of James and Isabell Pettyjohn was Isabell Pettyjohn. Isabell was recorded as being baptized on May 16, 1660 in Hungars Parish, Northampton Co., Virginia . On Dec. 11, 1678, Isabell married Richard Lester . Richard Lester died in 1694 and, by 1702, Isabell remarried, to John Oakman . The fourth and last child of James and Isabell Pettyjohn was John Pettyjohn. John was recorded living in Accomac Co. from 1682 until 1692. About 1685, John married Sara Virginia Willson . The Pettyjohns had two children, who were born in Accomac Co., Virginia. About 1692, the Pettyjohns resettled to Sussex Co., Delaware. The Pettyjohns had six more children, all of which were born in Sussex County. Moreover, all of John and Sara's children owned land in Sussex Co., and had children and farms of their own. To this day, many of the Pettyjohn descendants can still be found living in the same area of Sussex County, Delaware. Most of the Pettyjohn families stayed in Delaware and Virginia up until the American Revolution. After that, the Pettyjohns began their trek through America. Some of the Pettyjohns went to West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, others went to North Carolina and Georgia, while still others went to Ohio, Indiana and Missouri. In spite of the differences in the surname, there is a good chance that most of all the Pettyjohn (Pettijohn) families in the United States are probably related and probably all came from the original James Pettyjohn who immigrated to America from England. Furthermore, there has been evidence that states that some families like Peregen, Pettingil, Paragon and others, actually stem off our very own Pettyjohn branches The information presented here and in many of the family tree sections is excerpted from "The XXXXXXXXThorpe Family" book written by M. L. Thorpe, Ph.D., "Les Petit-Jeans" by Brian Pettyjohn, and "The Ancestory of Scott Allen Neal" by Scott Neal. This site is not, and never will be a complete document, but a living, breathing project that will continue to grow as I obtain more information. My thanks to those that have provided, and continue to provide information. David Duane Pettyjohn

Someone once gave me this advice regarding Democratic primaries: never pick your horse too early. I generally don't agree. While politics is ultimately about values and moving public policy, I believe friendship, loyalty, profile and experience have a place in the conversation and you can…

I recently talked about how you should look at your Google SERPs. And you should manage these pages as much as possible.
HOW TO get your Google Alerts:
First start with the fact that you can get an email from Google whenever something new comes up by using Google Alerts. It's free and if you're not using it now you needed to start last week. Rather than writing yet another Google Alerts primier I'll just point you to a couple:
- Got your name on a google alert on?- Ken Kaplan
- How to Use Social Media for Personal Branding – Tamar Weinberg
- Using Google Alerts More Effectively – Jeff Korhan
Don't think that Google Alerts is a replacement for looking at your Google SERPs. It's not that, because it won't show new things come up in the search that aren't related to you. So you still need to check your SERPs at least monthly.
Your SERPs page is how Google sees the terms you type into the search box. Your Google Alerts is big changes to the SERP results that Google thinks you'll want to know about. You need to stay on top of both of these to manage your web presence.
Don't allow Alerts to lull you into thinking you know what's happening with the SERPs. If one of your competitors writes a page comparing their product to yours you'll get a Google Alert the first time that happens. However, if they work the SEO for that page and it moves from #20 to #2 you most likely won't get a Google Alert about that.
So the bottom line is that you need to monitor both the SERPs and Google Alerts. Now it's your turn, give me 1 Good Reason why you think your SERPs and Google Alerts are important to you.

5 Ways to Celebrate World Oceans Day
Happy World Oceans Day!
The ocean does a lot for us — it generates much of the oxygen we breathe, provides us with nutritious food to eat and regulates our climate. But if we want to hold onto these valuable resources, we have to take care of the ocean the way it takes care of us.
Today marks the 20th annual World Oceans Day, a chance for us to protect our most valuable resource. We've put together five ways for you to celebrate World Oceans Day (even if you're nowhere near an ocean)
1. Go to the Beach What better way to celebrate World Oceans Day than to go straight to the source? If you're lucky enough to live near the water, get a group together and head down to the shore. Pack a picnic (but no single-use plastic bags or bottles, please!) and spend the day learning about the ocean firsthand.
2. Visit an Aquarium If you can't get out to the beach, try the next best thing. Aquariums let you see unique marine life that you wouldn't encounter anywhere else. They also do a lot of great research and conservation so that we can protect our marine resources. Many aquariums and zoos are hosting special events for World Oceans Day, see if there are special events at one near you.
3. Clean Up Help keep the marine environment clean by participating in a river, bay, or ocean cleanup today — you might be surprised by what you find! You can find a cleanup event near you on the World Oceans Day website.
4. Adopt a Sea Creature Oceana works hard to protect all kinds of marine life, from sharks to penguins to sea turtles, and everything in between. You can support our efforts by adopting an animal.
5. Nominate an Ocean Hero Our fourth annual Ocean Heroes contest just started, and we're looking for the most dedicated ocean activists we can find. If you know someone who's doing great things for the ocean, tell us about them!
If you want to celebrate World Oceans Day with Oceana, we'll be at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland today. Our 2009 Ocean Hero John Halas will dive in two of their exhibits with National Aquarium CEO John Racanelli. They're also hosting special events all weekend, including scavenger hunts and book signings with Debbie Dadey, author of the Mermaid Tales book series.
We hope you have a wonderful World Oceans Day, and remember to look out for the oceans every day of the year!

had a good few days with lauren (sweetwordsbittertaste) :D
chilled on tues night, went shopping in the city yesterday and treated ourselves to some mac make up, then went out last night to lola lo's. it was the first time i'd been there as most of the people in my block didn't rate it, but i thought it was pretty good. the drinks were ace! got woken up this morning by the massive bitch head housekeeper, then we chilled watching cupcake wars before lauren had to get her train home.
love you sad cheese face <3
love you too gingey <3
ceebs for a long text post so recently i have
- finally stopped being ill
- spent a lot of time laying/sitting down by the river/lake near where i live with various people
- had a very messy night playing the stair drinking challenge with the block
- drank too much
- went out to a fantastically crap LCR night that turned out fun
- got lost looking for a chippy with some friends and got sunburnt on the way
- lost badly at poker
this makes me really want to come see you to play this mysterious stair drinking game.
oh my god i could reblog these all day.
i'm a flyer, so stretches wise:
- better heel stretch.
- bow & arrow.
- decent scale.
- scorp.
i don't really tumble at all right now (it's something my squad seriously lacks), but if i work as hard as possible:
- decent round-off (obvious, but currently mine is shit.)
- back handspring.
- back tuck.
if i went back to uni able to pull a round-off back handspring back tuck i'd be over the moon. i really want to impress my squad after the summer, and considering i have 4/5 months in which to do it i reckon some of it's achievable; the stretches definitely, if not the tumbling. also, my boyfriend and i are gonna start working on our partner stunting because we're determined to get more male cheerleaders on the squad and we want to be there stunting when we recruit at fresher's fair.
lalalala new maxi skirt & new lipstick = happy lauren.
also it's really sunny and it feels like summer and i'm in a fantastic mood because of that.
- shower.
- actually properly unpack and make my room home again.
- pick london to brighton outfit & pack bag for tom's.
- make mix CDs for the hours and hours of car journey tomorrow.
- try not to get too excited for london to brighton.
- takeaway with the fam for dinner.
- trial shift at the pub!
- get sister to drive me to tom's, sleep for extremely short period of time before getting up to leave at 6 am tomorrow. such an ungodly hour.
creepy ass ex-dive instructor say whaaaaat?
i never said i was going to thailand.
piss off.
stop talking to me.
you creep me out.
so i've been home about 2 days, and i've managed to get myself a trial shift behind the bar at the tiny little village pub around the corner from my house tonight.
don't wanna jinx it but fingers crossed that's my summer work sorted!

Key points
- If you have psoriasis, your skin is very
sensitive. To protect your skin, avoid:
- Skin care products that irritate your skin.
- Scratching and picking your skin, and skin injuries such as cuts or scrapes.
- Cold, dry climates. Cold weather makes symptoms worse.
- The most important thing you can do is to keep your skin moist. Use moisturizing creams, ointments, and lotions.

UPDATE! Listen to the whole show, on-demand, right here. Fast forward to 54:30 for direct access to LA Foodie goodness.
I hope that the AM radio waves are holding onto their butts because today at 3:30 PM, Ben & I (Drew) will again venture outside the cozy confines of social media and into the open waters of broadcast media. We will be joining Neil Saavedra on his show, The Fork Report, which airs Saturdays (TODAY!) from 2PM - 4PM on KFI 640 AM in Los Angeles. To launch the online streaming player, click the image below.
Since we had so much fun the last time we appeared on the show, we're extra-geeked to return for a serious academic discussion of the totally insane fair food that we encountered at this year's LA County Fair. Foods like this Garlic Corn Dog Pizza:
Read more...
If you were following LA Foodie's Twitter stream this past Friday, you might have noticed a bunch of rapid updates right around 4 PM. That's because on Fridays, from 12 Noon to 4 PM, nearly all of the food vendors at the OC Fair participate in something that I like to call, "Many Mini Snacks." The OC Fair's theme this year is "Let's Eat," so we did. For four hours each Friday, you can get snack-sized samples from most of the vendors for two bucks. Lest you think that's a rip-off, think of it this way: Would you rather spend ten dollars on a gigantic brick of french fries, or would you rather spend that ten bucks on a roughly equal amount of five different things? For me, the choice is easy. Variety is the secret blend of eleven herbs and spices of life. You can click on each title below for a link to the original tweet. Whee! It's like time travel! We hit as many places as we could before the 2 PM deadline, and this is what we ate.

I have always loved the winter solstice. There is that sense of being at the bottom of the curve - the sine curve representing the rate of change of day length. This day (and its summer partner) are the times at which the curve flattens, when the rate of change is at it slowest. When nature stops, or so it feels at this end of the year, and gives us time to contemplate.
This Friday 21st December is a special day, too, on the Mayan calendar. I've just been reading about the Mayans and it seems they knew a fair bit about mathematics and made astronomical observations that were way ahead of their time. Not that we have any need to fear. Scientists assure us that there is no truth in the idea that some unusual planetary alignment or asteroid collision will bring the world to an end today - though I can't say I'm enormously relieved to hear this. Humankind is still more than capable of bringing civilisation to an end - and we have already caused the extinction of many species, with more, no doubt, to follow.
We are also, in some sad cases, willing to bring an end to innocent young human lives. I heard children singing Away in a Manger at a carol service in Peasholm Park, Scarborough, last weekend, and could not hold back my tears, thinking of those poor murdered children and their families in Connecticut.
It's been, for some, a dark, dark year. Many families, even in the relatively prosperous UK, are feeling the pain of increased energy, food and petrol bills, with large numbers out of work or earning barely enough to get by. In many countries, the situation is far worse. It's difficult to feel the hope in the Christmas message of goodwill to all people. It's difficult to go on believing, sometimes, in anything good at all.
Yet new buds are already forming on the trees. Nature struggles on, in spite of pollution, disease and climate change. People struggle on, because they have to. They do it for the sake of their children, their spouses, their parents and their friends.
Life has not been easy for many writers this year. I'm one of those who has had disappointing news from a publisher. I know that, on the overall scale of things, this is small beer. But it hurts, and I know many fellow writers who are hurting, too. School visits and other events have been severely cut back, because of lack of funding, and those writers who depend on these things to supplement their income are feeling the pinch. Advances have, by all accounts, almost disappeared for the bulk of writers. E-books are doing well in general and some authors are making a fortune, but many have failed to find the sales they hoped for.
It's difficult for readers, too. Libraries have closed or are threatened with closure. The big publishers seem mainly interested in blockbusters and celebrity memoirs and recipes. The supermarkets rule the sales and, where they go, the booksellers must follow. Lots of small, interesting, independent bookshops can no longer afford to carry on.
Meanwhile, small children like two-year-old Jacob, my partner's grandson, adore books. So does his one-year-old sister, Ava. They know nothing of the troubles in the world of writing, but they know what they like. There are wonderful new children's books, everywhere I look. And there are children's authors, slaving away, inspired, inspiring and inspirational - creating words (and objects) of wonder for the new generation to learn to love.
And while all that is happening, I have hope.
Please, fellow children's authors, don't stop. Jacob, Ava and all the others can't wait to get their chubby, sticky little hands on your latest work. Remember that... as you read the latest disappointing or infuriating email from your agent or publisher.
Times are hard but our children need you, more than ever. They need voices of sanity, sense and sensibility in this crazy world. Whatever happens in the cold out there, please go on creating your warm, sunlit little places where life truly begins. Don't, whatever you do, even think of stopping. The world, which will almost certainly still be here on the 22nd December and for a while beyond that, needs you, your vision, your pictures and your words.
Happy writing, and may the sun shine on your efforts as, according to the Mayans, the new age begins.

. A post with an eventually positive message. Like those "warm, sunlit little places where life truly begins." A lovely thought about such young readers, certainly.
Lovely blog. I love the idea of that kind of pause at the top and bottom of the curve. Reminds me of the way I feel about tides - the moment of high and low tide, and the beautiful patterns and regularity of nature that I believe feed into everything we do, especially our creativity. Thanks for posting. x
I think it's always very cheering that at the nadir of the year, you see the little green shoots of spring bulbs just starting to appear!
Thanks for the comments. Happy Christmas, everyone.

HI Tester: 0 Items – Max 6 / Win 7
Viewing 5 posts - 1 through 5 (of 5 total)
Hi all,
when I open the Extra Menu "HI Tester" there are no items!
This is the first time I have this problem, I tried restart pc,
searched on forums and google, but no solution found…
The PC is an Acer Laptop, Win 7 64bit, MaxMSP 6 64bit..
Hi Quantesizer.
Unfortunately, on Windows, the hi object only shows devices such as gamepads and joysticks. It doesn't let you use the mouse or keyboard, like the Mac version does.
Could it be the case you're trying to access the mouse or keyboard, or do you have a valid device connected? If you have, could it be related to the 64 bit version you're using? That's the only thing that comes to my mind…
Hi Pedro,
yes, I'm trying to access the keyboard.. Your info make me sad..
Is there a solution?
You can always access the keyboard through the "key" and "keyup" objects.
The only drawback is that these objects don't work while Max is in the background, they only work if the Max patch is the "front window". It's a shame because there's no way to invoke a "global shortcut" (independent of the current front window) to activate a certain process…
That's one of several annoying differences between the Mac and Windows versions…
on Windows, the hi object only shows devices such as gamepads and joysticks.
This is not good at all…
I hope someone knows how to enable the HI Menu on Windows!
Is possible Cycling74 allows no way to do it?!
