(Shhh just pretend I didn't stealthily skip a whole week of blogging due to college madness!)
This is a happy song of mine. It always cheers me up.
(Shhh just pretend I didn't stealthily skip a whole week of blogging due to college madness!)
This is a happy song of mine. It always cheers me up.
This is one of my favorite war movies.
Danny is the best thing ever.
The soundtrack is fantastic (I mean, Hans Zimmer, duh).
Just watch this.
Sorry for putting this up late and making it so short; I'm super busy :(
So. Fashion and stuff. Thought I'd give it a go…
This look here is a personal favorite of mine because it works for pretty much any daytime activity.
Want to wear something nicer to college or school? That summer dress is long enough that it won't look inappropriate!
Going on a walk-in-the-park date? CUTE. And comfortable.
Fancy lunch? It's fancy enough, especially if you throw in some nice accessories or, in my case, really fancy sandals. Heels go well with this, too.
Anyway, as long as you're not looking for a night outfit, this works for any occasion. :)
Dress by Farm.
Bag by Kipling.
Sandals by Arezzo.
Happy Halloween everyone! To go with the sort of festive, dress-up vibe of today, how about some Panic At the Disco!
This band is really quirky and weird, which I love. I used to be obsessed with them when I was about 17. Still like them a lot. Yeah. This song is my favorite.
And then this one is also really cool too (and especially weird):
I don't know if anyone even keeps up with my posts and all, but maybe you all might've noticed that I didn't post a Book Monday this week. The reason why is because I'm thinking of starting something new on Mondays. It's just an idea, thought I'd share it. Yeah. That's all. BYE!
Since the new Avengers trailer came out, I thought I'd post about the old Avengers here!
So much awesome and badassness in one film, I can't even.
And it's especially because of Tony. Just sayinnnnn
Okay BYE.
Hello there!
I didn't post my weekly blogs last week because I was staying a lot in college doing some really cool stuff.
So here's what was going on: every year my university (Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie) hosts an event called "Semana Viver Metrópole" (translates to "Live the Metropolis Week") in which several renowned Brazilian architects are invited to do a few presentations and workshops for the students of architecture, and also any other person interested who signed up for the occasion.
They are professionals who have had amazing experiences all around the world and, in doing so, gained an incredible amount of know-how, and it is so sweet and humble of them to come all the way to our university and share some of their life stories with us.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to attend all the presentations and workshops (it's a lot of stuff, presentations make me so tired haha), but of the ones I did attend, here are my favorites.
Eiji Hayakawa:
This guy is simply fantastic. The entire time he was talking I was absolutely entranced. The achievements he has made in his carrier are really something to be inspired by. Also, he filled me in on the story of his very own inspiration, the architect Tadao Ando.
I had already heard of Tadao Ando before, but not very in depth. His story is so interesting. He used to be a simple young man, who never attended college and who worked as a professional boxer in his home country, Japan. One day he was at a bookstore and found a book by modernist architect, Les Corbusier, and simply fell in love with the man's ideas and profession. From that point on, he started learning architecture on his own, reading as many books as he could and, most importantly, traveling the world to see all kinds of constructions and styles that are found in different cultures. He then returned to Japan and started his own office, only to become one of the most important architects in the world today.
(Tadao Ando)
Eiji Hayakawa, in turn, became who he is today because of Tadao Ando. When he was studying architecture at Universidade de São Paulo (FAU-USP), he came across a book about the master, and was so touched by his work he even cried. He spent the next four years in college learning as much as he could in the hopes of some day working for Tadao. His dream came true. He applied for an internship in Tadao's office in Japan during his fourth year in college, and got accepted. It was quite the experience. It's not easy to work for the old man. Once, he got so angry at Eiji he even threw a scale model on his head. But the fact is he learned so many valuable lessons, not only as an architect, but as a person, and he is so thankful for that experience.
After working for Tadao, Eiji returned to São Paulo to finish his studies, and then moved to New York as a Grad-student at Columbia University. There he decided to focus more on Urban Design, and started working in the famous American architecture office, Ehrenkrantz Eckstut and Kuhn. He got to participate in some incredible projects, and once again learned so much from the experience.
After New York, I believe Eiji returned to São Paulo (not sure) and at an architecture conference (I can't remember where exactly, sorry), he was pleasantly surprised when he bumped into none other than Tadao Ando, whom he hadn't seen since his internship years before. He told Tadao he was thinking of moving to Japan with his wife, and was shocked when Tadao handed him his card and said: "One week, my office."
And so he once again set off to Japan to work for the man who inspired him, this time as a grown professional. He was in charge of the international projects in Tadao's office, and therefore got to travel all around the world. His biggest challenge was working for Arab Sheikhs. They're always so demanding, and want things very much their way (no matter how impossible).
Today, Eiji has his own office in Brazil, called Eiji Hayakawa Architects. He is quite influential himself, and so very successful. He deserves it. So much hard work and dedication!!!
Eduardo Bajzek:
So Eduardo Bajzek used to study at my university, and I'd already heard of him because my teacher (who was also his teacher) always talks about him and how well he can draw.
This guy will sit down and draw a super detailed, beautiful building in front of him like it's a stick figure. He is so talented! The speed in which he does things is just WOW.
I was so happy I signed up for his workshop, it was so worth it. What he did was make my peers and I walk around campus drawing buildings we like, or trees, plants, people… anything really. Meanwhile, he'd come around giving us tips and suggestions. It was a super chill class, because there's no way he could teach us everything he knows in two hours, but still super informative and helpful! I had fun.
Check out more of his drawings and pieces here.
Felipe Rodrigues:
This guy's presentation was by far my favorite. First of all, because he's so funny and charismatic. Second, because his story is so interesting.
Like Eiji Hayakawa, Felipe Rodrigues (who is also a Mackenzie student like me :) ) spent his college years studying as hard as he could to work for his ultimate favorite architect: Rem Koolhaas, considered one of the fathers of deconstructivist architecture.
The Dutch architect's office is one of the most brutal, hostile working environments ever known. He believes that life should revolve around one's job, and doesn't expect any of his employees to think any different. Thus, it is needless to say that Felipe took on quite the challenge when he set off to work for the man as an intern in his fourth year of college, at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA).
(Rem Koolhaas)
He was super excited when he arrived at Rotterdam (the poor, innocent soul), but became quickly aware of the pickle he had gotten himself into. Sure, working for Koolhaas was such a fantastic opportunity, but during the six months Felipe was there, every single day was a nightmare, and it took every ounce of his courage and power of will to keep up the work until the internship was over.
There was no rest. EVER. He'd start working at 10:00 in the morning, and would only leave the office at 3:00 a.m. of the next day. Weekends? Pf, please. He said there was only one Sunday to rest every two months, and he literally spent the entire day sleeping. His life was the office. Every morning it was as if the building was swallowing him, and he was entering hell on earth. This is because Koolhaas has so many people who'd like to work for him that he literally treats his employees as replaceable. No one is special. No one matters. If someone is unsatisfied, they get up and leave. He has no time for complaints. If you wanna work for him, you better be prepared to be treated like a slave.
This makes his office an extremely stressful environment, so much so that Felipe never fully got used to it. When he was describing the experience, he said that he honestly felt like he was being raped of all his dignity, of all things happy. He still can't decide whether it was worth it or not.
Fact is, when he finally returned to Brazil, his view of the famous architect had changed. No doubt, he still finds the man amazing and admires him for his achievements and hard work. But some of that admiration was lost, because there's no use being a great architect if you're an asshole! Koolhaas manages his office through fear and inhumane pressure. He treats amazing professionals as inferior and completely worthless people. Sure, working for him will give you an irreplaceable curriculum, but in some ways, Felipe thinks maybe it's not that worth it. It's definitely indignant.
And that's what I loved about his presentation. Sometimes, we set off on adventures and it turns out it's not really what we wanted. But the point is, that shouldn't be reason for you to give up and run back home. Sure, it was pure torture working for Koolhaas, and maybe the things he does are ridiculous and insane. But Felipe worked so hard to get there; he wasn't gonna stop because it was too much. He carried through with the internship, and, whether he had a good time or not, he still learned so much from the experience.
So that's all guys, hope this was cool. It's quite the long post but hey, interesting stuff!! BYE! :D

Mommy Dearest: Mother-in-Law Wants to Help With Newborn
Mommy Dearest,
I'm seven months pregnant and my mother-in-law just called to ask how long my husband and I would like her to stay after the baby is born. Since she lives in a different state, she plans on flying in for the delivery and then helping us get situated at home.
While I love her good intentions, but would prefer if we ease into life as new parents as a couple. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but think three will be a crowd in our small house when I'm bonding with my infant. What should I do?
— Pregnant and Perplexed
To see Mommy Dearest's response, read more.
Pregnant and Perplexed,
The best thing to do is tell your mother-in-law the truth — that you appreciate her kind gesture, but would prefer to spend those first couple of days at home bonding as a family and establishing your own routine. If you are comfortable with her being at the hospital after you deliver, extend an invitation and recommend a place she can stay in the area. If you would like her to visit at a later date, suggest some in the future so she can put it on her calendar. Since she's a mom, she may understand where you are coming from.

going out on a limb here but i'm guessing in the future helmets will have integrated cameras no bigger than a pencil nub on top and headphones built in too, and maybe even virtual HUD displays like fighter pilot helmets for the drop down visors.

Fat Joe - Another Round
Artist: Fat Joe
Featuring: Chris Brown
Producer: Young Ladd
Album: The Darkside Vol. 2
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 27 votes )
While Fat Joe's 2011 diet and exercise regimen has yielded such impressive results (seriously, Google the pics) that I'm declaring a personal moratorium on weight-related wisecracks, the man has still, without a doubt, got the body mass to drink a relative shrimp like yours truly under the table. Thus, the the title of the lead single off Joey Crack's forthcoming 11th album immediately summoned up images of the emcee pounding back glass after glass of liquor at the local spot. As it turns out, though, I had it completely twisted; Another Round actually refers to Fat Joe's marathon sessions between the sheets. Contrary to the name, Young Ladd keeps it grown and sexy on the production tip, layering '80s-esque synths over kick-handclap percussion as Joe details his X-rated (and seasonally appropriate!) plans for a special girl: "Lovin' how it last long, leave the sheets gooshy / F*ck you with the mask on, Halloween p*ssy." Chris Breezy excels as usual on the chorus, as well as detailing a steamy scenario of his own (chocolate syrup and ice cubes factor in) on the guest verse. Fat Joe's latest full-length The Darkside Vol. 2 has yet to receive a solid drop date, but those who like what they're hearing know where to keep it locked for all the latest.

# WGC # central banks gold # silver prices
Silver dropped to the lowest since 2010 while gold dropped to its weakest level since the gold plunge in mid April on Thursday.
NEW DELHI(BullionStreet): Hints of another plunge in gold and silver prices could create another scramble for them, analysts said.
Silver dropped to the lowest since 2010 while gold dropped to its weakest level since the gold plunge in mid April on Thursday.
Silver dropped to $22.21 an ounce at 10.00 a.m GMT on Thursday while spot gold price plunged to $1,374.27 per troy ounce as weak inflation data took its toll on precious metals.
Gold dipped more than 2 per cent in a five-day losing streak that saw it hit two-year lows.
Gold is less than $60 away from two-year lows hit in mid-April. Prices have fallen nearly 18 percent this year and are well below a record top near $1,920 struck in September 2011.
Analysts attributed the drop in prices to a firmer dollar and as holdings in exchange-traded funds fell to the lowest in over four years, potentially stretching bullion's losing streak to a sixth day.
They said an overnight fall in the gold price below $1400 has sparked a sell-off of mining stocks, as commodities slipped on weak global economic data and a strengthening US dollar.
In Australia, third largest gold producer in the world, a sharp drop in the gold price for the second time in a month rattled it's fourth-largest mineral export industry, with gold producers making up seven of the top 10 losers on the ASX200 on Thursday.
Shares in gold giant Newcrest Mining fell 5.3 per cent to finish at $15.02, while Evolution Mining, Australia's fourth-biggest gold producer, suffered a sharp 11.23 per cent fall in its share price
WGC in it's latest report said the price drop in April, fuelled by non-physical moves in the market, proved to be the catalyst for a surge of buying that has left many retailers short of stock and refineries introducing waiting lists for deliveries.
Putting this into context, sales of bars and coins, jewellery and consumption in the technology sector still make up 81 per cent of the market, WGC added.

Give me time, pleads Giroud as he tries to bed into Arsenal side
Olivier Giroud has urged Arsenal fans to show patience as he looks to step out from Robin van Persie's shadow.
Holland forward Van Persie has joined Manchester United in a £24million deal following a public statement earlier in the summer that the former Gunners skipper would not be signing a new deal.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger accepted his side lacked a cutting edge in attack following Saturday's goalless draw with Sunderland at Emirates Stadium.
No way through: Olivier Giroud could not find the net
Giroud, though, could have made the difference after coming off the bench in the second half - but when the big chance came as he ghosted into the penalty area with nine minutes left, the French striker rushed his shot and fired wide.
However, after his 21 goals helped Montpellier to the Ligue 1 title last season, the 25-year-old is confident things will all soon fall into place with Arsenal.
'It was a game ball, but the coach told me that I had not to worry about it,' said Giroud, signed in a £13million deal.
'This could have been the dream start, but in Montpellier, I did not score for my first game, so I am not worried. Here, I will have plenty of chances and I will score.'
Giroud added: 'Last season was wonderful here for Robin, but before that, he took time to settle.
'I am just asking people to be a little patient with me.
'I am not here to make people forget Robin, because he has made beautiful things here, but I just want to bring something new.
'However, I am under no more pressure than that, because if I think about that when I go onto the field, I will play with the handbrake on.
'I know Arsenal is a great club and needs a striker ready and efficient quickly.
'I need games to get confidence, and it is up to me to succeed.'
Frustrated: Arsene Wenger admitted his team lacked a cutting edge
Wenger accepted Arsenal lacked balance in attack against Sunderland.
Giroud believes that is something which can easily be rectified.
'It is true that we do not always cross on the first chance, but it is something we have to work on,' he said.
'This is important for us because teams come here to defend and we often got the possession. We need be more effective in the final pass.'
German international Lukas Podolski had started the Barclays Premier League opener at Emirates Stadium to spearhead the attack following the departure of Van Persie.
However, Podolski had few chances to net on his Arsenal debut before being replaced just after the hour by fellow summer signing Giroud.
The 27-year-old bagged 20 goals for club and country last season, and Wenger feels the Gunners will soon see the best of the former Cologne marksman.
'I see him as a centre-forward, but he has some work to do, to change his game a little bit, make runs in behind to protect the ball and move around the box,' said Wenger.
'When you come from a wide position, it is not easy to do that, but he will get there.
Denied: Lucas Podolski had a couple of good chances
'He is a fantastic finisher, but had no real opportunity.'
Arsenal are set to see midfielder Alex Song also leave before the transfer window after a deal, understood to be £15million, was agreed with Barcelona.
It is another player whom Wenger has schooled for many years deciding to take their career on elsewhere.
'We are left with that decision and now we have to face with it, to deal with it in a correct way,' said the Arsenal manager, who could now move to bring in another midfielder, with long-time target Yann M'Vila still on the radar, as Rennes hold out for a £17m fee, along with Real Madrid's Turkish midfielder Nuri Sahin, who is also interesting Liverpool.
'We make the players here, all who have left have made a name here after coming very young - [Cesc] Fabregas, [Gael] Clichy, [Emmanuel] Adebayor, [Thierry] Henry, [Samir] Nasri and Song.
'He came at 17, had a lot of work to do, but he did it.'
Wenger added: 'I do not think it is linked at all with winning something or not. It is difficult to make an overall conclusion about it. Every case is individual. Maybe one day I will explain everything.
'However, part of our job is to influence people's life in a positive way.
'You would prefer to influence it in a positive way for yourself, but it does not always happen.'

This doesn't pretend to be a deep show, but it's a pleasant diversion with a good cast, and really good (read: expensive) production values.
After a nine-month hiatus, one of the best new shows of last season returns from the undead with a bit more of the deviled edge that made it so great when it first emerged from the crypt in the fall of 2007.
Reaper has a clear potential to be simply cartoonish, like a bad adaptation of an action comic. But it surprises you, sprinkling in enough human nuance to keep several decent character dramas percolating.
Back for its second season, Reaper has one thing left going for it: Ray Wise as the dapper Devil.
Reaper takes several steps back--and a few steps sideways--suggesting a drunken all-nighter may be in order, if it hasn't happened already.
It's hard to invest much in Sam when his behavior is contradictory or gullible and when he seems downtrodden much of the time.
Set against Reaper's slackers and the largely limited actors who portray them, Wise will having you rooting for the Devil.

As mentioned, there are different factions in Hell who often war between themselves, not to mention those inside the factions plotting to get out.

Assigned to stop them is a Chinese General, but can he succeed?

It was pretty bad overall. He had very few good jokes. We actually left early. So many people were talking louder than he was. Very disappointing it was a birthday outing for a friend.
Gary Valentine, who became a series regular on _The King of Queens _in 2001, got his start in the world of stand-up comedy. For 13 years, he traveled the country refining his comedic routine by performing at comedy clubs and festivals. After headlining at the Montreal Comedy Festival, he moved to Los Angeles, where he appeared on The Late Late Show on CBS, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Valentine's television credits also include starring in his own half-hour comedy special on Comedy Central and co-hosting FX's The X Show. Valentine was also recently seen in the film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

Not quite filling enough for a filler issue
Since the first arc of Green Lantern has finished by now, I thought that issue 6 would be a good point to start reviewing the series. This issue serves as a bridge between the first arc and the next one but whether Johns will make it a sturdy bridge remains to be seen.
Hal adjusts to life not being Green Lantern anymore whilst Sinestro enlists the aid of an old nemesis to help him track down Lyssa Drak, former Sinestro corpsman and keeper of the Book of the Black.
The Good
- Johns does well at placing Hal in a different situation and keeping him in typical character. One might be accustomed to see Hal fighting against cosmic threats, other ring bearers or flying planes dangerously whilst spouting cocky one liners yet seeing Hal having a successful relationship with Carol is certainly new. Nonetheless, Johns presents Hal in a not too familiar scenario (being on a successful date) well and even has him show his worth without a power ring against a group of thugs, showing that Hal is still a hero even without a ring.
- As well as nailing Hal's character in this issue, Johns continues to make Sinestro even more endearing to the reader. His control over himself, snarky comments to former adversary Starstorm and willingness to do whatever is necessary to get his own way present the reader with a different Green Lantern, one who is not the wholly good preserver of peace and protector of the law but one who writes their own laws and carries out methods they see fit on the universe's criminals. Johns' interpretation of Sinestro is one that defines the character and makes him a worthy foil to Hal in this series.
- Lyssa Drak makes for a worthwhile adversary in this issue as she continues a plot point of the previous issue where Sinestro promises to hunt down the remaining Sinestro Corps members still active in the universe and shows the reader what Sinestro has been doing in his spare, not in issue time. Her obsession with stories along with the Book of the Black being in her possession provide an interesting development that allows Johns to foreshadow future stories such as the one in the next issue with the Indigo Tribe as well as the Guardian's plan to replace the Green Lantern Corps with the Third Army. I am intrigued to see how the Guardians intend to replace their second attempt at a peace keeping organisation as it appears they are consumed with the desire to create the perfect peace keeping organisation for the universe. I can't wait to see what the Third Army will be and what that will mean for the Corps.
- Mike Choi does a good job on art duties. His artwork is good but doesn't quite mesh with the style that I would expect from a cosmic/sci fi comic book. Mankhe's pencils and the various other inkers provide much more unique artwork on Green Lantern. Even so, Choi's art is still good and that cannot be faulted.
The Bad
- Despite the fact I could see Johns was attempting to make Starstorm a pitiful reflection of Sinestro and Hal, I felt that Johns was missing out on the opportunity to showcase a new, interesting character. Given that Starstorm's powers involved being able to disrupt a power ring's construct creation as well as being able to track energy sources, I would have liked to have seen Starstorm overcome his fears and help Sinestro take down Lyssa, becoming the hero he once was. Instead we get an anti-climatic finish where Starstorm succumbs to his despair and Sinestro rips his helmet from him. It would have been interesting to see why Starstorm was a threat to Sinestro in the past.
- The pacing of this issue feels like Johns was dawdling a bit. It switches from a short scene on Earth to Sinestro's mission in space which progressed too quickly for my taste. Also the structure is quite simplistic with no real surprises in store
- Even though I enjoyed this issue, I got the feeling Johns was just spinning out this tale to loosely set up his next arc with the Indigo Lanterns. Every issue should have a point and this didn't seem to have one. To me, this demonstrates Johns' strengths in writing lie in multi part story arcs rather than in simple filler issues.
- The standard cover has nothing to do with the issue. Then again nor does the variant but that is one damn fine looking cover. Anyway, the image presented on the cover isn't particularly striking and doesn't capture the eye very well. Also, the colours are a bit too bright and Sinestro's smile looks strange.
This was an alright read but nothing spectacular from Johns here. Hopefully the Indigo tribe story will be as good as the first arc. Given Johns' past record at writing Green Lantern stories with several chapters to them, I have a strong feeling that will be the case!

Story: 6/10

3.0 out of 5 stars Not one of his best
I own almost all of Elton's album/CD's and this is one that does not hit the spot I always look forward to a new CD from Elton and have hardly ever been so disappointed if you are expecting this to be one of his best I suggest you go into the back Catalogue as he has done much much better albums in the past I found I was a little bored by the end and have only played it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful album,
John C. Davies - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Diving Board (Audio CD)
This millennium in his albums (if not some side projects) Elton has been intent on re-establishing himself as a musical artist to be taken seriously, rather than a declining purveyor of plastic pop and inconsistent albums. He has made good progress; with The Diving Board he has arrived. That is not to say it will suit all Elton fans. Amid the exciting buzz of praise, there have been some dissenting voices. But my own doubts when underwhelmed by first impressions of lead single Home Again and a live version of upbeat Mexican Vacation have been well and truly laid to rest.
Don't expect an album full of spectacular tracks, catchy pop, instant classic singles or a return to hard-driving 70s rock. Pared back to piano-bass-drum trio, with striking piano to the fore, The Diving Board's strength comes from its cohesive mix of consistent, at times surprising, pleasures and tracks that grow. I certainly won't be skipping any.
The Diving Board is a labour of love, which gathers r&b, gospel, jazz and classical influences, with sumptuous or tender ballads, a few upbeat numbers and three brief "Dream" piano interludes acting like palate cleansers between tasty courses. It may remind at times of the early Elton John and Tumbleweed Connection albums, Blue Moves, Songs from the West Coast and even (superior) hints of Lestat, or what that musical might have been. Yet while it's familiar it's also bold and intriguing- a tremendous cumulative experience for me, rounded off by a sublime title track, that lifted me to places Elton's music hasn't taken me since Captain Fantastic.
Yes, this is the Elton album I've waited 38 long years for. It's deep, warm, dark, rich and wonderful. I hope you enjoy it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This time you can believe the hype...,
RBR "crazywater" (CT United States) - See all my reviews
When the news broke that Elton John's next album would be a return to the early days of his recording career I thought to myself where have I heard that before. Oh yes I remember. On just about all of Elton's post 2000 albums something similar has been said about those albums. So when I heard that this album would feature primarily piano, bass and drums with guitar thrown in here and there, which is a return to Elton's early band of himself, Dee Murray on bass and Nigel Olsson on drums, I was not going to let myself get sucked in to the same hype we've heard for the last 12 years or so.
And then I got a hold of a pre-release of the album. I have been listening for a solid week and I am thoroughly enjoying "The Diving Board". What surprises me the most is how well the songs work with the band configuration of a trio. There is an energy that has been lacking on some of Elton's recent work but it is back on this newest album, his first solo album since 2006.
Anyone expecting to hear "The Bitch Is Back" or "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" or are comparing this album to the "classic years" that's just silly and a mistake. Oh he still rocks out in concert but you're not going to get that on new Elton albums these days. That's just not where he is these days.
What I will say is that this album is the best thing he's done since "Songs From The West Coast" and it can stand on its own next to Elton's best work. The up tempo tunes all work. They all pass the skip test. The ballads are what Elton has always done best and he does not disappoint here. "Oceans Away" and "Voyeur" are the standouts for me as well as the single "Home Again". But's it's the up tempo tunes that are what surprised me the most. They carry the album in my opinion. For once the hype is justified.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!,
This has been reviewed many times but I noticed a few detrimental remarks which I fail to understand. Elton was criticised as singing out of key by one particular reviewer. Well, Elton's voice may not be in its zenith now but he has never sung out of key before so why would he start now?? I found the production on this to be really thoughtful and bordering on minimalistic but the overall effect was spot on. Some of his previous albums like The Big Picture and even as far back as Elton John have maybe suffered from over production, yet we now have detractors saying that this latest offering is bland. It is unrealistic to expect something like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 40 years on and besides, things have moved on. However, I regard this as one of his career best but for totally different reasons than his 70's output. I think we should stop trying to make comparisons and just enjoy this for what it is which is a superbly well written album. The Captain and The Kid was a return to form, this is even better!

4.0 out of 5 stars Elton still has it,
Adrian Brown - See all my reviews
Why did I buy this. I still have a great respect for Elton and his music. I thought I would give it a try following the decent Leon Russell joint venture. This album contains few outstanding tracks but the standard is consistently good. The piano playing is probably the best it has ever been. It sounds as if Elton is still enjoying creating and playing music. Bernie Taupin still has something relevant to say. The whole package continues to grow in an unassuming way. Very enjoyable. He won't necessarily attract new fans but he will delight long standing fans with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Piano is simply outstanding on great songs,
Rock Man (England) - See all my reviews
The Piano on this album is simply sublime as track after track opens with some memorable piano tunes. Add good lyrics and decent songs and this ranks as one of EJ's and BT's finest moments.
I confess to being a "semi" Elton fan. For all his classic albums like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Sleeping With The Past and Too Low For Zero (I'm Still Standing) there has often followed two or three frustrating albums perhaps memorable only for the odd single. So his greatest hits is the next best option! But after reading positive reviews in the media I decided to buy it and am glad I did.
This album ranks up there with his best work and along with Macca this week EJ is showing age is no barrier when you have supreme musical talent.
Its hard to single out specific tracks because the standard here is so consistent and is almost a greatest hits part 3 on its own. Just enjoy Piano man!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elton John - On a another timeless flight,
Red on Black - See all my reviews
The narrative around Elton John's new album "Diving Board" is about a return to a stripped down, sparse piano and lyric-driven sensibility of his early days. Go back to 2001 and the same claims were also being made for the excellent "Songs from the West Coast". But on this album Elton John has again enlisted the producing "gun for hire" T Bone Burnett, fresh from work with Diana Krall, Steve Earle, Gregg Allman and of course rekindling the link with Elton forged on 2011's "The Union". The Burnett and John link up adds new dimensions not least with Bernie Taupin firing on all lyrical cylinders and the producer essentially dismissing band support. The result is that "The Diving Board" is a fine album recalling the wonders of the early Elton which got lost over the years in "Tantrums and Tiaras". So it back to a proper emphasis on songs and all the better for it. Opener "Oceans Away" sets the tone with Elton singing better than ever as and where he opens with the confession that "I hung out with the old folks/ in the hope that I'd get wise/I was trying to bridge the gap, between the great divide". Other great songs follow not least the haunting "Town called jubilee" and the brilliant standout "My Quicksand" which is one of the better songs he has written in years. The album is punctuated with 3 "Dream" piano interludes and the sumptuous third of these is also Keith Jarrett like in composition.
Songs like "Can I stay alone tonight" hark back to that vintage era of "Tumbleweed Connection" as does the splendid "Take This Dirty Water" where Elton sings sagely "If you break some bones on landing/ You'll know you're built to last". It is three of the darker songs here however which impress most. "Oscar Wilde gets out" charting the writers sad departure to France post Reading Jail is an automatic start for downloads. The "New Fever Waltz" would not go amiss on a Tom Waits album while the highly reflective almost Randy Newman style song "Home Again" is pure class.
"The Diving Board" is a master class in song writing and sees Elton John at his most intimate and introspective. Perhaps it is not sardine packed with obvious hits but taken as a whole it is his most solid and worthwhile album in a decade. The old Rocket Man has got back into groove, and achieved lift off. Part of this stems from the fact that he is clearly enjoying himself greatly not least on the evidence of "Mexican Vacation (Kids in Candlelight)" and the excellent bluesy title track. This reviewer would not claim to be a fully paid up member of the Elton John fan club but this is one record of his that you really need.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Diving Board,
In the last few years every new studio album released by Elton John has been hailed by both critics and fans as his best work in decades. The Diving Board has done exactly that, even surpassing it's recent predecessors! It's been well documented that Elton had a lot of time to live with the finished body of work and had returned to studio to improve upon it. This payed off as we are left with an outstanding body of music!
The star tracks are the bluesy country flavoured Can't Stay Alone Tonight; the previous title track Voyeur, of which could easily have been released as a single with it's beautiful harmonies and unique bass section; and The New Fever Waltz with it's somber tune and piano keys reminiscent of Carla Etude. The songs are all a very beautiful and melodic that cross a range of genre from piano rock and roll, blues, country and jazz . This mixed bag of genres are married together by three short instrumentals that divide the album and gives the listener a break before the next selection plays.
Of all the versions out there, I prefer the double cd with all the bonus material on the second disc as I find it demanding to listen to a lengthy album with numerous songs.
The piano, drums and bass themed album is well structured and Elton John reminds us what a great musician and artist he is by stripping down the music to show it has substance.

Love this album. Voice is more controlled and assured. He seems to have rediscovered a zest for music that he lost a touch. Such a gifted musician on top form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elton John back to 70s Classic Form,
P. Wilkins "Phil Wilkins" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Diving Board (Audio CD)
For those of you who think that Elton John was at his peak with the likes of Madman Across The Water, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road then this album is a must buy. Too early to say if the lyrics will become classics like Tiny Dancer, but the performances are in a class of their own. Stripped back to a simple band, and then recorded with minimal studio magic has resulted in John's vocals and piano work to the for.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I went off Elton a few years ago having been repeatedly disappointed with the quality of his later albums. However, having read a few reviews here I gave the Diving Board listen and was very happy indeed. This is the Elton I loved - great melodies, the piano to the fore. This deluxe album is well worth the money and I highly recommend it for newcomers or older fans like me. This has been well described by others here so no need to go over it again , Just listen and enjoy - Reg still has it! MOC - DUBLIN

Life-changing world journeys take physicist from apathy to activist
By Claire Discenza
One day, years ago, physicist Francis Slakey found himself about to fall off the side of a mountain, attached to the rock by only a single piece of unraveling fabric. "I wait for the inevitable," Slakey, reads from "To The Last Breath," his newly published memoir. He tells those gathered at a book-signing event at UCSD May 16 how his adventures changed the way he looks at his life, the world, and science.
Dr. Slakey, Upjohn Lecturer on Physics and Public policy at Georgetown University, and associate director of public affairs at the American Physical Society, happens to have an Earth-size adventurous streak. For him, the streak led to what he dubs "The Global Surf and Turf," a mission to climb the tallest peak on every continent and surf every ocean.
He said one of the seminal events of his life occurred while on one of these adventures. Slakey recounts the time he was returning from a climb in Indonesia, when military forces stopped him and his traveling companions. As it turned out, this wasn't the first ambush in that location — two days earlier, another group of Americans were captured, but that group wasn't so lucky. "Two Americans gunned down dead," said Slakey.
The incident surrounding the fatal Indonesian ambush was a mystery. No one knew who was responsible, and no one was investigating the event. "Before I could surf one more wave, before I could climb one more mountain, I had to see what I could do about the ambush," Slakey said.
He stepped in and wrote an op-ed column to the Washington Post imploring Congress to suspend all funding to the Indonesian military until an investigation could be conducted. His letter, along with a serious push from Patsy Spear, the lone survivor of the attack, convinced Congress. As a result, the perpetrators are now "rotting in an Indonesian prison," Slakey reported.
He relates other life-altering stories, including one from the slopes of Everest. While climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Slakey said he stopped in to a monastery to receive a blessing from a supposedly-300-year-old reincarnate Lama. On a whim, he decided to ask the ancient spirit for the meaning of life.
"I ask my question, and the translator whispers it to the Lama, and then the Lama thinks, and he whispers back to the translator, and the translator says: 'He'll have to get back to you on that,' " Slakey recalled with a smile.
But the Lama does get back to Slakey, giving him an amulet to wear around his neck with the meaning of life carved in an extinct Tibetan language. Slakey said he spent years searching for a translation of the message, a search that culminated in another life-altering moment while surfing the Arctic Ocean.
"It suddenly hit me. I suddenly realized what the letters on the amulet meant, and no, I'm not going to tell you. You're going to have to get the book to find out," he teased the audience.

Obama: Crossing the Rubicon
In the year 49 B.C. Julius Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River in northern Italy. The river was the dividing line between Cisalpine Gaul and Italy proper. By crossing the river with a single legion, Legio XIII Gemina, Caesar deliberately broke the law. In doing so Caesar uttered the famous phrase "alea iacta est" – the die is cast.
Fast forward to November 20, 2014. Barack Obama crossed his own Rubicon with his announcement of amnesty to at least 5 million illegal immigrants.
His reasoning: Congress hadn't acted so he did. Using the phrase 'something must be done' Obama violated his oath to faithfully execute the laws and instead is attempting to make the laws himself.
Using a variety of ginned-up legal opinions Obama and his allies have justified most of the amnesty under the guise of prosecutorial discretion. He claimed that he had the power to suspend deportation for millions of people when in fact prosecutorial discretion has always been used in a limited fashion.
He and his allies claimed that his amnesty was no different than amnesty dispensed by previous American presidents. In fact, most previous instances of amnesty were set against the backdrop of actual law that was debated and passed by the Congress.
Instead, Obama has simply created his executive orders out of whole cloth. He did it because he thinks that he can and no one can stop him. This is the way of the dictator.
Does this mean that Obama and future presidents can simply bypass the Constitution and the Congress because they don't or won't pass bills that he wants? It certainly would appear that way.
What's next? If he signs an inadequate deal with Iran over their nuclear ambitions will he simply declare it a done deal and not send it to the Senate for ratification?
He recently sign a global warming deal with the Chinese. It will need to be ratified by the Senate but nothing seems to be forthcoming from the White House. Is it his intent to simply declare it a done deal and neglect to send it to Capital Hill.
This seems to be Obama's new mode of operation for the last two years of his term in office. Bypass Congress at every opportunity and declare things settled because he said so.
The messy workings of democracy seem not to be to his liking. We saw plenty of this in the first six years of his Presidency. But mostly it was small stuff and he skirted the line between lawfulness and lawlessness.
However, with this giant amnesty, it seems that he has broken through to really big actions. If Congress does not push back and hard, he will simply continue along this same path of lawlessness.
With this travesty he has inserted himself back into the narrative despite a second midterm shellacking. The national narrative had gone the Republicans way and Obama simply was unable to stomach that. After all he is the President.
Let's hope that the Republicans can gain control of this situation before it becomes too late. The fate of the nation and all of our futures depends on it.

On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher at midday despite disappointing purchasing managers' index readings in both China and Europe. The market took its early lead from Europe and opened lower, though the major averages moved into positive territory following a trio of better than expected domestic economic reports, as the leading economic indicators, Philadelphia Fed survey, and existing home sales all beat consensus forecasts. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims fell 2K to 291K in the week ended November 15, versus expectations for 280K first-time claims. The Consumer Prices Index was unchanged in October, versus expectations for a drop of 0.1%. The core CPI reading, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2%, versus expectations for an increase of 0.1%. Markit's flash manufacturing PMI slipped 1.2 points to 54.7 in November, versus the consensus forecast for a 56.5 reading. Existing home sales rose 1.5% to a 5.26M rate in October, which beat expectations for a decline to a 5.15M unit rate. The index of leading indicators climbed 0.9% to 105.2 in October, beating expectations for a 0.5% increase. The Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index surged to 40.8 in November, easily topping the consensus expectation for a 18.0 reading. In Asia, the HSBC/Markit manufacturing PMI for China fell to a six-month low of 50.0 in the flash reading for November, which is down from a final reading of 50.4 in October and below the 50.3 consensus forecast. In Europe, Markit's flash eurozone PMI composite output index, which tracks surveys from both the manufacturing and services sectors, came in at 51.4 for November, which was down from 52.1 in October and represents the measure's lowest level in 16 months. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Best Buy (BBY) advanced 7% after its third quarter profit beat estimates and it reported that its domestic same-store sales grew 3.2%. The electronics retailer also said the sales trends it is seeing as its enters the critical fourth quarter are "encouraging from a top-line perspective." MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Williams-Sonoma (WSM), which rose nearly 10% after the home goods retailer's third quarter results surpassed analysts' consensus estimates and the company raised its fiscal 2014 outlook. Also higher following its own "beat and raise" quarterly report was Kirkland's (KIRK), which advanced 18%. Among the noteworthy losers was Liquidity Services (LQDT), which dropped 9% after its fourth quarter earnings missed expectations and the company said it will no longer give yearly guidance. Also lower was Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR), which dropped 6% after its first quarter profit outlook fell short of analysts' consensus estimates and the company's Chief Financial Officer announced plans to depart. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 7.84, or 0.04%, to 17,693.57, the Nasdaq was up 22.08, or 0.47%, to 4,697.80, and the S&P 500 was up 3.01, or 0.15%, to 2,051.73.
