Problem with Search in OUTLOOK 2010
I am running Office 2010 Professional (32-bit) on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).
I have no trouble arranging files (eg Inbox) by Date, To, etc. but any search always reports "no matches found".
I have read all the previous posts on Outlook Search but nothing seems to help me.
CP Programs and Features shows a single entry for Microsoft Office Professional 2010 so I can't uninstall just Outlook. I have tried Repair but that made no difference.
I would welcome any advice or suggestions.

Microsoft Support helped in the solving of this problem. In retrospect it may have been solved by running SCANpst.exe on the Outlook Data file. SCANpst.exe is found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 14\ or in Program Files (x86)\... if using 64 bit Windows 7.
I hope this helps someone else with an Outlook problem.

CPU cooler group test review with 3770K -
Core i7 3770K OC at 4600 MHz 1.3 Volts
Now we up the ante. Understand that 1.3+ Volts is the level where Ivy Bridge processors get into problems due to the aforementioned heat-spreader versus TIM design solution applied by Intel.
We now set the Core i7 3770K @ 4600 MHz and apply 1.3 volts to the CPU while loading it with 100% stress for a full Prime95 run on all available CPU threads.
Core i7 3770K OC at 4600 MHz 1.3 Volts - IDLE
Okay, here are the IDLE results with the Core i7 3770K @ 4600 MHz with 1.3 Volts on the CPU. Again, the results are the IDLE temperatures thus you are in your desktop doing nothing.
Core i7 3770K OC at 4600 MHz 1.3 Volts LOAD
Now we'll be testing the temperatures under stress. If we set the overclock at 4600 MHz and configure CPU Voltage at 1.3V, these will be the results.
The temps rise above and beyond 90 Degrees C for a handful of coolers, which is a definitive no-no. As you can see we have dangerous temperatures for most coolers. Enthusiast class coolers do better here, with the Noctua NH-D14 however it remains possible. We are quite surprised that this cooler seems to behave so much better compared to the others. The next in line is the Alpenfohn K2, Scythe Grand Kama followed closely by the Coolink Corator DS.
These are serious temperatures alright.
In this review we test over a dozen CPU coolers, mainly heatpipe based. We'll test them on a Core i7 3770K. In this group test we'll use Scythe, Noctua, Coolink, Deepcool, Alpenfohn, Gelid and Cooler Master coolers.
Gelid GX-7 CPU cooler review
Gelid is a company that made a nice impression a year or two ago introducing themselves by releasing their first aftermarket CPU cooler, the 'Silent Spirit' cooler. After Gelid released that Silent Spirit and then Tranqillo CPU coolers it was time for a new model. Progress is made and anno Q4 2011 it's time to release their third consumer grade CPU cooler. Their latest creation comes in the form of a tower cooler called GX-7 -- aimed at gamers apparently.
Noctua NH-C14 CPU cooler review
In the long line of Noctua CPU coolers they introduced another CPU cooler, tagged with the name NH-C14, the heatpipes bent in a C shape and armed with not one, but two Noctua NF-P14 FLX 140mm fans this product is bound to keep any CPU released to date nicely cooled and chilled.
Thermalright HR-02 CPU cooler review
We test and review the Thermalright HR-02 CPU cooler. Thermalright actually introduces this product as a passive CPU Cooler. The HR-02 is the second revision of the legacy Thermalright HR-01 cooler. We'll test it passively cooled yet we'll also pair it with Thermalright's TY-140 fan, a 1300 RPM fan that is silent, yet high performing. As stated, the results stunned me, this is really really good stuff.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The mortgage servicing settlement between Goldman Sachs (GS), Ocwen Financial (OCN) and New York State is completely meaningless, only serving to gain the state's approval of Goldman's sale of its Litton Loan Servicing unit, which was completed Thursday.
Ocwen agreed in June to purchase Litton from Goldman for $264 million in cash , and apparently the state's approval of the deal was contingent upon a settlement over "robosigning," other mortgage foreclosure concerns and loan servicing problems. A call to the New York State Banking Department requesting comment wasn't returned, while Goldman Sachs and Ocwen both declined to comment.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Goldman Sachs agreed to forgive 25% of principal balances on 143 mortgage loans to borrowers in New York, or $13 million of a total principal balance of $52 million.
That's a drop in the bucket for Goldman, and has absolutely no bearing on what the eventual settlement between the largest U.S. mortgage servicers, including Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Ally Financial, the 50 state attorneys general and federal regulators might look like, since most of the loans involved with the robosigning controversy, are securitized.Investors holding mortgage-backed securities backed in part by nonperforming mortgages -- some of which may have violated the originators' own underwriting guidelines -- are unlikely to be enthused at the prospect of a 25% haircut on their investments. To consider just how unlikely it would be for investors to agree to similar principal reductions, consider that the five servicers named above reported a total of $221.9 billion in one-to-four family mortgage loans serviced for others that were past due 90 days or more as of June 30. There were another $55.5 billion in one-to-fours serviced for others that were past due 30 to 89 days. Just taking a 25% haircut on the $221.9 billion would be a loss of $55.5 billion to the investors holding the mortgage paper. The large servicers have already agreed -- through cease and desist orders with the Federal Reserve in April -- to improve communication with borrowers, better-monitor third-party service providers, "provide remediation to borrowers who suffered financial injury as a result of wrongful foreclosures," and strengthen their compliance with "state and federal laws regarding servicing, generally, and foreclosures, in particular."

The Hyannis Harbor Hawks (5-13) pounded the Cotuit Kettleers (8-10) on Thursday 14-3 at McKeon Park.
A two-run double by Brett-Michael Doran and a two-run single by Mitchell Garver helped the Hyannis Harbor Hawks score four runs in the seventh. The Hyannis Harbor Hawks had three hits in the inning.
The game was back-and-forth heading into the fourth, with six lead changes.
Brandon Trinkwon racked up five RBIs on four hits for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks. He homered in the fourth inning and singled in the first, second, and eighth innings.
The Cotuit Kettleers couldn't get anything going so long as Andrew Smithmyer was on the hill. Smithmyer held the Cotuit Kettleers hitless over two innings, allowed no earned runs, walked two and struck out two.
Matt Maurer recorded his first win of the year for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks. He struck out one, walked one and surrendered no hits.
Kyle Finnegan (0-3) was the game's losing pitcher. He lasted just three innings, walked two, struck out two, and allowed four runs.

*Fascinating work
*Very, very little accountability; those who were a detriment to the company weren't dealt with very well or at all
*Very little acknowledgement for those who performed in an outstanding manner. Generally in the form of "Lets just make everyone feel good" rather than pointing out stellar contributors
*Multiple reductions in force over the last couple of years, >50% downsizing in my division

I worked at Northrop Grumman full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
You are hired for your demonstrated ability to get the job done, company gives you significant room for professional autonomy which not giving you too much room to cause serious financial harm, I came into corporate world expecting to be "spoon fed" training on how to perform at the PM level and being a profit and loss entity individual training dollars are tight so you are left with a lot of OJT or self training.Cons
Too little resources for new hires (managers) to get acquainted with the corporate's tools and proceduresAdvice to ManagementAdvice

Northrop works to keep people employed, moving them to different programs when current programs wrap up.Cons
Keeping your salary advancing requires that one only stays there for 3-4 years max before moving to a different company. Same as all aerospace companies.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Spend more time planning and tracking detail-level work. Do it carefully, and have it done by someone who really knows the task, not just whoever you can get a team to give up.RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEO

Veterans' concerns grow over government shutdown
Monroe County, N.Y.-- If the government does not reopen in the next three weeks, veteran benefits will be cut. Six billion dollars of disability compensation and pension payments will be halted at the end of the month, cutting funds to five million veterans and their families.
To touch the veterans benefits, its a slap in the face, said disabled veteran, Kirk Reynolds. After 20 years of service, Reynolds said it feels like the government has turned its back on him. Thats unfair to not only me but my fellow veterans and anyone else that has served for us, Reynolds said.
If the government does not reopen in the next three weeks, Reynolds said he would lose his disability and pension payments, money he relies on.
Thats what we counted on, Reynolds said, thats what we base our living on and when that doesnt come through there are going to be a lot of problems.
Many disabled and retired veterans rely on that money from the government. Reynolds said, People are worried about not being able to maintain bills or home or have the income coming in that they need to survive.
64-year-old Ray McCormick served in his country for 24 years, in both the Army and the Air Force. I gave them a blank check with my body so they could do whatever they wanted with me, said McCormick. Now, McCormick said the government is backing out of the deal it made with service men and women. It very unfair, I earned it. I signed a contract that if I retired in 20 years Id have a pension for life.
Without his pension check, McCormick said he wont be able to pay his mortgage. McCormick said, The government has abandoned me; they couldnt care less about veterans.
Local veterans said if the government does not reopen, lawmakers would be breaking the militarys number one rule. Theyre leaving us behind when you know, you never leave anyone behind, Reynolds said, and right now theyre not looking to hold up their end of their deal.

Chris Christie, Keystone and Canada
FAIR TV, September 8, 2014: USA Today Poll Distortion, Chris Christie's 'Gaffe'
Are corporate media banging the war drums in 2014 just like they did in 2003? USA Today promotes a poll that they say shows the public wants a more 'muscular' foreign policy. But is that really the message the public is sending? Plus the New York Times remembers a Chris Christie foreign policy 'gaffe'– saying something accurate about the occupation of the West Bank.

FAIR TV: Typhoons and Climate Change, Chris Christie's Media Magic, More Iran Nonsense
This week on FAIR TV: Media still hesitate to talk about climate change when covering extreme weather like the typhoon that just ravaged the Philippines. Chris Christie is "magical," says one pundit–we'll tell you what his trick is. And nuclear negotiations don't make media coverage of Iran any better.
Tom Friedman's Chris Christie Crush Crumbles
Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie isn't running for president after all. This is bad news for the journalists who seemed so eager to promote his candidacy, but also for establishment pundits like New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, who thought a Christie/Obama contest would have been a victory for…. wait for it… centrism! He writes today (10/5/11): Had Christie–a moderate on gun control, climate change and immigration who has also backed Simpson/Bowles–run and won significant support, he would have forced Obama back to the center. Then, instead of a race between the Democratic left and the Republican right–in which […]
Chris Christie Doesn't Say He's NOT Running for President!
The New York Times had a headline on Saturday that read, "Imagining a Christie Campaign for President." That seems appropriate–if we're talking about how it's the corporate media doing the imagining. On ABC's This Week (10/2/11), Jonathan Karl announced that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's speech at the Reagan Library "was the most electrifying event of the campaign so far." That speech was treated like a big event on the NBC Nightly News (9/28/11), with anchor Brian Williams saying up front that Christie is "the man whose every word is being watched and listened to so very carefully." Reporter Chuck […]

I will guide this country with a deep, deep rudder. AMANPOUR: Can the new frontrunner come back from a shaky debate performance? Or is Chris Christie waiting in the wings to steal his thunder?

Behind the Scenes at Fox Is Like in Front of the Scenes
Gabriel Sherman's new piece in New York magazine (5/22/11) about Roger Ailes and Fox News Channel offers more indications that whatgoes on behind the scenesat Fox is more or less what you'd expect, given the channel's obvious on-air slant. The person hired to run the news division has some peculiar ideas about news: Bill Sammon, a former Washington Times correspondent, angered Fox's political reporters, who saw him pushing coverage further to the right than they were comfortable with. Days after Obama's inauguration, an ice storm caused major damage throughout the Midwest. At an editorial meeting in the D.C. bureau, Sammon […]
Are Teachers Scorned? Much Less Than Reporters
"Teachers Wonder, Why the Heapings of Scorn?" is the headline of a front-page New York Times piece today (3/3/11). The article by Trip Gabriel reports, "Education experts say teachers have rarely been the targets of such scorn from politicians and voters." Politicians, sure, but what's the evidence that voters–i.e., the public–have been heaping scorn on teachers? Gabriel offers nothing to substantiate this claim other than references to "online comments and placards of counterdemonstrators"–quoting blog commenters as evidence of the national mood has got to stop, guys–and the assertion that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's teacher-bashing has made him a "national […]

Yet Another Roadable Aircraft
Yet another roadable aircraft or flying car? Yes, but the Model 367 BiPod [source: gizmag] is different because of who designed and built it. Burt Rutan - of SpaceShipOne fame - retired earlier this year from legendary prototype aircraft maker Scaled Composites. His last project was a hybrid-powered road and air vehicle. The twin fuselage, a signature design feature of many Scaled Composites airplanes, makes for a uniquely odd looking car design. One cockpit controls the vehicle while on the ground and the other cockpit controls the vehicle while in flight.
Another unique feature of the vehicle is a hybrid power system that uses electrical motors to decouple the two internal combustion engines (one in each fuselage) from the propeller and wheel locations. For takeoff the vehicle also has a set of lithium booster batteries. Up to now the vehicle has been undergoing ground-based testing with a few airborne 'hops.' Nothing more ambitious can be tried until the propeller is fitted. A tentative first powered flight is scheduled for March 2012.
The Model 367 BiPod is unlikely to find its way into production to compete with the Transition from Terrafugia. However, Scaled Composites says that the idea of decoupling the engine from the propeller location frees designers to consider novel aircraft configurations.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

I saw Florida Gov. Jeb on FOX News last night defending the wisdom and logic behind the states' new self-defense law that goes into effect in October. This bill passed through the state legislature "overwhemingly" with bi-partisan support.
Of course, the detractors were sniveling they're usual liberal crap about an east coast "Wild West Show" and "blood in the streets" that will take place now that there is no requirement to retreat. I believe a specific quote was "ordinary fistfights will now turn into gunfights". Funny...we have no duty to retreat here in CO and....well you know the rest don't you!
The NRA spokesperson said they're are planning to push this type of legislation in other states. I enjoy seeing firearms rights issues brought to light on national news, and all in all it was a balanced report as you would expect from FOX!

I'm only giving this a 7 because it has a fatal flaw of sometimes freezing your xbox requiring you to turn it off and back on. I found this gets really bad once your zoo gets larger sized making it harder to get achievements. I finally got so frustrated I returned it.

It's fine, but it's a game that lacks some of the fun of the original game, and misses out on some of the most fun parts of the original game. It is worth the rent though. I liked what I played of it.

My console froze quite a few times while playing this, thankfully this game auto-saves frequently and has a continue option. I found the transporting of animals messed the game up often and I would have to save my game and head to the main menu. However, I quickly learned that this cut out on the wait time it took for my animals to ship in and out. It took less time to save, quit, and load.
This game will test your memory when it comes to what you're looking for, or what animal you just selected. This was not always a good thing. Also, it may be a difficult play and quickly put down by kids less than middle school (6th grade in my day).
Overall, it was a good play the first day, but then became more of a job. Maybe that's what they were going for. I personally would not purchase this game to have in my collection. At one point I was only playing it for achievements, not so much for pleasure. An okay few day rental.

A Flawed Gem

The game may be "dumbed" down slightly from the PC version. But the controls on the gamepad work just fine. I thought the menu system was intuitive for the most part. However, navigation memory would have gone a long way into avoiding a few annoyances.
The animals look beautiful, but the people look stiff and gangly. The interactions you can play with the animals fall very short of entertaining, and seem like an odd addition. Animal care is tedious at first but not long into the game you are able to hire zoo keepers to do the dirty work for you.
The staff actually takes care of everything so well, that it almost plays to a fault. Once you hire them, that's it...everything runs perfectly. Sometimes a little need for micromanaging adds life into games like this. They almost seem pointless, as well as the tasks they complete. It would have been no different just removing them completely. That's a problem.
The biggest problem, however, is the limited amount of "space" you have to build. Not physically, but the allotted "pool" meter you are given to build fills extremely quickly. A much larger meter or an unlimited one would have added at least 2 points to my review of this game. The problem is so glaring it ruined the game for me when it filled up, and I was no longer interested in it. It ruined my "vision" so to speak and vastly limits the size of exhibits you can build and/or the variety of animals you want in your park.
It started promising, but ended up no better than the animal feces that your zoo keepers are tasked with cleaning up. Unnecessary and stinky.

When I turned to the campaign and scenario modes I thought I'd have more fun but was left disappointed. There was no end to the scenario or campaign. I finished the achievements, filled the zoo, made the money, and reached the fame levels, but the level never ended. I was under the impression that beating these levels would open more animals, or options in free play mode, but nothing ever happened for me. In the end I grew bored of the game quickly.

This is absolutely ridiculous. You guys have to lay off that "coaches want to lose on purpose arguement" it makes anything remotely intelligent you say look completely not credible. You're actually saying they'd rather lose and get fired than play a ****ty QB?? These coaches aren't playing him cause he sucks. Not cause they are afraid he will win! This is the kind of thinking that just feeds the haters. Why would a coach want to bring someone in that requires them to DUMB down their team? That offense isn't "new school". That type of offense hides deficiencies of a player.

Nylon Stockings: The Unsung Hero of Seed Saving
Oct. 15, 2013
Did you know that nylon stockings make the ultimate, multipurpose tool? They keep legs warm and physical imperfections under wraps; they are maggot barriers for emerging apples; and, in a pinch, they're nice material for that last minute bungee cord. But we at Seed Savers have been privy to a very unsung use for the common pantyhose: they make a darned safe way to mail your prized heirloom seeds.

MOSUL, IRAQ – Fighting in Iraq claimed a third man with ties to Lebanon Junction Friday with the death of 24-year-old Army Staff Sgt. Gary Lee Woods, Jr.
Woods, a Bullitt Central High School graduate and former ROTC cadet who completed basic training at Fort Knox five years ago, was inside one of two Humvees hit by the blast from a truck loaded with explosives, his father, Gary Woods Sr., said.
The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a red flag warning for Bullitt County through 6 p.m. Monday.
The combination of windy conditions along with low humidity and high temperatures could result in dangerous fire situations.
At 3:40 p.m. Nichols Fire units responded to the Fort Knox area near Mt. Eden to assist with a field fire. Southeast Bullitt Fire units were called on standby.
A large amount of Kentucky has been placed under the red flag warning.
Check www.pioneernews.net for further updates.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – An individual connected with a recent rash of vehicle break-ins has been arrested by city police.
Shepherdsville resident Joseph A. Hauber, 18, was arrested April 1 and charged with four felony counts of theft by unlawful taking from automobiles.
He was released from the Bullitt County Detention Center April 2 on a $5,000 surety bond.
Shepherdsville Police Capt. Kenneth Bernardi said Hauber is believed to have stolen between $17,000 and $18,000 in goods from vehicles parked in various areas of Shepherdsville.
LEBANON JUNCTION ee" For two years, the Lebanon Junction branch of the Bullitt County Public Library system has been forced to host a children's summer reading program in the community center instead of at the library because of overcrowding.
To BCPL Director Randy Matlow, the program's popularity was encouraging, but counterproductive when the children couldn't fit into Lebanon Junction's small library for the event.
"The whole point of the summer reading program is to encourage children to check out books," Matlow said.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - While there aren't a lot of definite answers on how Bullitt County might be affected by the federal stimulus dollars sent from Washington, it appears there will be a law enforcement program revived to put more officers on the streets.
The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program is to receive $1 billion to provide another 5,500 officers across the country.
Several Bullitt County agencies are currently working to apply for those funds.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- A day after losing 8-0 to the state's top-ranked team, Ballard, the North Bullitt Lady Eagles got back in the saddle on Wednesday and beat Bullitt Central 10-1.
Those two wins came just a few days after North Bullitt had capped spring break with a four game sweep in a tournament at Washington County. Coach Eric Lambert's team opened with a 2-1 victory over Bishop Brossart and then turned back Danville 2-0. Pool play then concluded with a 4-1 victory over West Aurora (IL.) 'A' by a 4-1 count.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The post-season is still a month away, but some of the most important games of the regular season will be played this week for the area diamond teams in the 24th District.
Of course, the first words associated with that plan are 'weather permitting'. As anyone who follows high school spring sports in Kentucky, following the weather comes in a close second to keeping track of your favorite team.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - For the second time this season, the Bullitt East Chargers had trouble against a top-flight opponent on Thursday as they lost to Sixth Region rival Butler 15-10.
While scoring ten runs was a good thing in the eyes of head coach Jeff Bowles, the other parts of the game suffered for the Chargers including poor pitching performances from the team's top two arms - juniors Brandon Alphin and Matt Bowles.
Bullitt East did bounce back on Saturday, taking a pair of lopsided wins over Atherton, 18-0 and 21-0.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - When it comes to the war against drug abuse, the Bullitt County Sheriffs dare to do more.
That includes the force's newest vehicle, the DARE patrol unit.
A 1998 Ford already in the Sheriffs department's custody, the unit was revamped into a prime vehicle with a new paint job, body work and accessories.
The best thing about the new vehicle was the price. Chief deputy Danny Thompson said all the work was donated.
HIILVIEW - While work continues to clean up limbs left by the storm, Hillview residents have an opportunity to get rid of their junk on Saturday.
The annual cleanup day will be held on Saturday, April 4.
From 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., extra dumpsters will be in place at the works department garage at the end of Prairie Drive.
Works foreman Jim Bohannon said that no hazardous materials would be accepted, as well as household garbage.
The county cleanup weekends will not be held in the spring. The project could be held later this summer or fall.

Sam.I.Am -
Subject: WTC 7 and CNN
Why has nobody commented upon the CNN reporter saying "We are getting information now that one of the other buildings, building seven in the world trade center complex, is on fire and has collapsed or is collapsing" a full hour and ten minute before it actually collapsed with the building still standing behind him (25:20 into the IAvideo) yet pile onto the BBC for doing the same thing half an hour later?
FDNY knew hours in advance that WTC 7 was a lost cause, that they had no good supply of water and that they didn't want to risk more firemen lives after they evacuated the building.
Firemen have 3 things in mind in this order:
#1 Save Lives
#2 Prevent the fire from spreading
#3 Save a structure
They did the first, they didn't have the second as a real concern and couldn't do the third with what they had at hand.

After countless auditions, the addition of a new judge and one the most awkward semifinal rounds in American Idol's history, we've made it to the big stage! The top 12, some of which are still awkward, took on The Rolling Stones, but from where I sat, you could hardly tell it. The night was full of bad arrangements and more bum notes than I would like at this stage of the competition. Then again, there were some powerhouse performances. So, who shined? Let's find out.Let me say from the top, I am not exactly what I would call a Stones fan. And if tonight was the first night I'd ever heard any of their songs, I wouldn't be lining up to catch their next tour. What should have been a night of high energy was mostly filled with sleepy acoustic renderings. I understand that is the vibe many in this group of singers is going for, but come on! If the evening did anything, it highlighted who will most likely make the competitive top 7, as there are at least 5 singers clearly just waiting for the ax to fall.Michael Lynche, "Miss You"He said in his intro package that he was the ham of his family. Get out of town! Big Mike a ham? It can't be? Ok, so you get it. The arrangement was passable and his singing was fine, but his performances continually make me a little crazy. I'm all for energy, but it doesn't come across as genuine. It was, as Simon said, corny.Judging the Judges: B Randy didn't love the arrangement, but still digs his voice. Kara liked how Michael filled up the stage, though Simon called his dancing desperate. (Also, Kara, the Rolling Stones are still rolling. Let's cool it with the past tense references.)Didi Benami, "Play with Fire"I haven't kept it a secret that I'm kind of pulling for Didi to go far, though I don't think she'll ever win. But her performance tonight, without a guitar no less, was one of the best I've seen from her. She had a couple of missteps early, but she found her grove and delivered an intense performance that added a layer to what we've seen from her previously.Judging the Judges: A Randy said she's on fire for the first time in weeks, and Simon and Kara agreed she's moving towards what she wants to be as an artist.Casey James, "It's All Over Now"Ok, Casey. If you're going to break out the ax and play rock god, you shouldn't need to look down at the guitar every third note. The song was a good fit for his bluesy voice, but it felt very simple and lacked a spark, even though it was one of the very few performances of the night that even attempted to rock out. He's yet to show any personality to go with his looks.Judging the Judges: B Ellen made a crack about her sexuality, which is indicative of how helpful her comments were all night. Simon said Casey has to give more of a star performance instead of just standing there.Lacey Brown, "Ruby Tuesday"After four weeks of virtually the same thing over and over, I'm going to say it: Lacey's breathy singing just doesn't work for me. I much prefer when she hit the full-voiced notes at the song's end. Not only does it not sound put-on and affected, she also manages to hit her notes. It wasn't the worst of the night, but it left me very cold.Judging the Judges: D None of them really said anything helpful. Worse, Simon repeatedly said there was nothing wrong with the vocals, which I have to disagree with. They weren't terrible, but they certainly weren't spot on.Andrew Garcia, "Gimme Shelter"I was certain that Andrew was going to be this season's star in the audition rounds, but boy has he fell flat. To his credit, Simon addressed the terribly contradictorycriticism the panel has given Andrew so far, most of which included their refusal to let go of his "Straight Up" cover. Tonight, he sang as if he felt uncomfortable and honestly never quite got where he was hoping to get. Again, it wasn't as bad as last week, but he left me wishing someone else had chosen that song.Judging the Judges: B Kara said the song highlighted the parts of his voice they'd been missing, but she also played the role of Literal Song Interpreter, again to the chagrin of Simon. "What do you want him to do, come out in a tank?" Simon asked when she said he didn't connect with song's message about war.Katie Stevens, "Wild Horses"Yawn. And I didn't think anyone could top Susan Boyle for the tamest version of this song. Katie's problem is simple: She has zero control of her lower register. At times in the beginning, she sounded as bad as the clip of her as a kid they played in her intro package. She improves as she gets into her upper register, but until she gets the top-to-bottom thing figured out, she will continue to suffer.Judging the Judges: C The judges seemed to ignore the first part of the song, and praised her strong voice. Kara noted that she's yet to be technically perfect, and Simon said she at least chose the right song.Tim Urban, "Under My Thumb"Painful in every way. I'm not sure when Tim decided he was this season's Jason Castro (Castro also did "Hallelujah"), but his reggae rendition was about 37 kinds of wrong. Yes, his vocals were miles better than his Week 1 performance, but I couldn't get past everything else in order to care about them.Judging the Judges: B Ellen said she felt like she was at the beach. Kara applauded him for doing his own thing, but Simon said it was a crazy decision. He said Stones fans probably turned off the TV.Siobhan Magnus, "Paint It Black"Wow. First the negative: Something about the key of this song pointed out a weird foghorn-sounding section of Siobhan's voice that was as unappealing to listen to as it was to watch her face when she was singing it. But when she kicked in, she blew the roof off the place. Her take was original, and she hit some crazy high notes once again. She was the female Adam Lambert, and I mean that in both the best and worst ways possible.Judging the Judges: A They were all beyond words, and Kara made the Lambert comparison as well. Simon warned her against screaming at the end of every song.Lee Dewyze, "Beast of Burden"Our other resident rocker went for a stripped-down version, which I found a bit disappointing. I liked the song, though, and thought Lee was more in tune than we've previously heard him. He just needs to work on enunciating because there were several times that I was sure he'd forgotten the words.Judging the Judges: B Ellen wanted him to rock out, and Kara complimented him for the fastest growth. (Though fixing pitch problems quickly shouldn't be a compliment: In-tune singing should be a requirement for the top 12). Simon said Lee needs a stand-out performance in order to go to the next level.Paige Miles, "Honky Tonk Women"The fact that Paige even walked on the stage is a tragedy, considering Katelyn and Lilly went home in her place last week. That said, Paige did bring back her big voice, despite suffering laryngitis. (And since the judge played that pity card so hard, she'll probably hang around.) In truth, she wasn't bad and she did seem more comfortable on stage than most of her competitors. Still, I miss Katelyn.Judging the Judges: B+ Kara said Paige was back and Simon said she's still better than the generic barroom rendition of the song she delivered.Aaron Kelly, "Angie"I was a little surprised by Aaron tonight. I think it was wise for him to go all soft and sweet, because he certainly was never going to match up to the Rolling Stones. And after going after big songs (and last week, failing) this was a nice reset to show the incredible maturity and control in his voice.Judging the Judges: A The judges agreed he connected with the song, and that it was the perfect choice. Kara said it was powerful.Crystal Bowersox, "You Can't Always Get What You Want"What say you Bowersox nation? There was nothing to gripe about in Crystal's performance, but I don't think anyone can rightly say they were blown away by it She delivered a trademark Crystal performance that was both well-sung and believable, but I'm beginning to get the feeling that there might not be anything more than her strum-and-sing approach. Still, in this bunch, she's a standout.Judging the Judges: A Ellen wanted to see more personality from her, and Kara said the lack of personality came off as cockiness. (Yeah, I don't get that, Kara). Simon told her to dig deep and not assume she's already won because tonight Siobhan beat her. (And uh, Simon, you are the only one who has been saying it's hers to lose.)What did you think of the top 12? Who do you think is in danger of going home?
After countless auditions, the addition of a new judge and one the most awkward semifinal rounds in American Idol's history, we've made it to the big stage! The top 12, some of which are still awkward, took on The Rolling Stones, but from where I sat, you could hardly tell it.

Adding Machines and Libraries
31 comments:
My hometown library is a community center. People come not only for books (digital or paper) but to take a class that teaches English as a second language, to find someone to help them fill out forms for anything from renewing a green card to an application for senior housing, to take part in study sessions with other high school students . . . the list goes on and on, and our librarians always seem to have way too much to do, not too little. We need more of them--but, alas, there are budget restraints.ReplyDelete
Aaahhh...Miri, you don't want to get me started on governmental priorities on spending money. I recommend that you find out where your tax dollars are going, dollar for dollar, and then advocate on behalf of your library. I was amazed at how little of my property tax benefited the local library system and how much went for utter nonsense. Good luck!ReplyDelete
Indeed, Joe. There was always a sense of wonder for me on a trip to the library. SEEING the books, shelf upon shelf. Being able to pick any one of them up and hold it (not even checking it out!) I wonder if love of books and reading can be inculcated any other way? Perhaps, but maybe not with the same sense of wonder.ReplyDelete
Jim, I think you hit it when described seeing the books and being able to pick them up. We have books all over the house here, in literally every room. A family who comes over occasionally includes children who love to read. They come through the door and start picking up books and going through them. That is what they are there for. I am happy for my Kindle and use it daily, even hourly, but it's just. not. the.same. I'm worried that we are on the threshold of losing something.ReplyDelete
My oldest son is a librarian in Berkeley. He got interested in it because he enjoyed doing research, and loves helping people find the information they need. Today, anyone can find anything, but finding what you really need takes some skill.ReplyDelete
But his real passion, which he gets to practice as "teen librarian," is turning young people on to books and reading. He's particularly expert in "graphic novels," which we always called comic books when he was a kid, and uses them as an entre into the whole realm of YA literature and the world beyond.
John, that's noble calling, indeed. You make a great and important distinction between finding anything and finding what you need. And I still, after all these years, love graphic novels. Please thank your son for all he does.ReplyDeleteReplies
Joe--I would add to finding anything and finding what you need, being young and wandering in the stacks of a library with really no direction or intention in mind--until a title, the shape of a spine or some other momentary attracter makes you pull out a book and start reading--only to discover you've been there half an hour when some sound breaks the spell.Delete
And when you're very young, have no power or authority, no "muscle" in the world of adults, it really registers to be able to take out books--from a grown-up stranger behind a counter who authorizes you to take them away with you and hands them down. Remember the small black boy in Philip Roth's Goodbye, Columbus, fascinated by a huge coffee-table art book? Race notwithstanding, I was that boy.
It all counts, and is almost certain to go the way of the dodo bird. Fortunately, not in my lifetime. But it's painful to think about my grandchildren's children.
Barry, you really brought back the memories. I remember the first time I wandered into the "Adult" section and pulled out a mystery novel, took it to the counter, and checked it out. I kept waiting for the net to drop over me. It didn't. Thanks!Delete
Joe--and who's to say what's come to pass with you as a writer didn't start right there, with that first rogue adult mystery.Delete
My dad made such a deal of each of his eight kids, when we reached five, sitting down with him to learn to read (pphonetically) and then celebrating the accomplishment by going to the library and getting our very own library cards. How could we NOT have turned out to be a family of readers?Delete
Oh man, of all the words to misspell! Phonetically.Delete
Aw, John, what a great story! He's a model for all of us. Thanks!Delete
As a university professor, I can see the advantage to having text books be digital. They get large and expensive and students will often buy them and then only use a fraction of it, especially with English classes, which I teach.ReplyDelete
But I got my degree from UC Riverside, which holds the Eaton Science Fiction collection, the largest collection of speculative fiction in the world. We have three libraries, towering with old books and magazines. It's a sight to behold. I love wandering random stacks, caressing the old books and pulling random ones down for a good read. Libraries are literally magical.
You can't get that kind of physical magic with a straight elibrary.Replies
Oh. Oh. Oh. I don't read science fiction like I used to R. A., but in the 1950s and 1960s I lived for the paperbacks, belonged to the Science Fiction Book Club, etc. There was also a used book store I used to patronize that had shelves full of Amazing, Astounding, and other science fiction magazines from the 1940s. I would probably spend days --- weeks --- in a museum like that.Delete
I'm with you on text books being digital. My daughter's books run on average $150.00 apiece. I'm not sure why. Maybe we are all writing for the wrong market!
I did my Master's degree comparing three sci fi books. One of my research items was researching old Sci Fi magazines. That was a total blast.Delete
And yeah, textbooks are ridiculously expensive, but honestly, authors of those books don't make much money, or so I'm told.
Also, is anyone thinking of Doctor Who's Silence in the Library? Imagine a library like that! We'd never get that if we all went digital.ReplyDelete
I suppose I also worry about putting all our faith in technology. What if we lost all those digital books one day? We wouldn't have paper back ups!Replies
The cloud makes me very nervous, R.A. I can envision some clowns letting a virus or something loose and wiping it all out, just to show that they can. Interestingly enough, I had a conversation yesterday with someone about digital music and the rumor that at some point in the foreseeable future the manufacture of mp3 players will end as everyone will be streaming music. My taste runs to old and rare regional soul music that you don't find on streaming services...I have it all backed to hard drives, but what else should I do? Throw it all back onto CDs?Delete
It's why I keep everything I own on hard copies. Digital stuff on external drives. As many physical books as I can handle. That kind of thing. We rely way too much on technology sometimes.Delete
Joe, you said, "I was amazed at how little of my property tax benefited the local library system and how much went for utter nonsense." In Buffalo, New York, we have a separate assessment that we pay along with our property tax, that is just for libraries and nothing else. It's $7 and change.ReplyDelete
I'm not that big a fan of libraries, but that Eaton Science Fiction collection at UC Riverside sounds fantastic. I don't really like ebooks, although I've published a few myself ... I like paper + ink.Replies
That's an interesting concept, Elizabeth. Are they able to run adequately on that funding? It's certainly inexpensive; I think most folks, if they looked, would find that much in change on the floor of their cars. Thanks for sharing that.Delete
I grew up in Monterey, CA and I have been in shock ever since I read that a few years ago, nearby Salinas, CA had to close its library due to lack of funding. Salinas, as you may know, is the birthplace and home of John Steinbeck, one of the greatest American writers of all time. There is something so telling and utter sadness in this situation. I don't fetishize paper books for the paper itself, but I do treasure the lovely serendipity of spending hours browsing through the stacks at at a library and finding books I'd never find if I was browsing my Kindle "Recommended for you" list. I do think that it's a loss for our communities, schools, and our inner sense of curiosity to lose libraries and bookstores. Also, if libraries leave or go all digital, there is no way for folks who have no money to read books. Because even though you can borrow a digital book from the library, you can't read it unless you have an e-reader.ReplyDelete
I don't like the idea, but then again I grew up in the age of adding machines and manual typewriters. I noticed at least one millennial commented they didn't like it either and enjoyed browsing through the shelves of Barnes and Nobel.ReplyDeleteReplies
Joan, I think the desire to hold a physical book is something that transcends age. My granddaughter, who is seven, loves physical books. She likes tablets for homework but for reading she wants a book.Delete
Jeanne, I felt the same way that you did when I read that initially. I just checked and apparently the library --- all three branches --- has reopened. Ironically, the John Steinbeck branch had to close for one week this month due to...fleas. That's another issue for another time and place.ReplyDelete
As far as borrowing books digitally, you can download free Kindle software to your computer and then borrow Kindle books from your library. Same with PDF format. Folks too poor to afford a computer could access one at a library. That, however, limits reading mobility, which is supposed to be the whole point of digital. Digital is great, but not to the exclusion of physical books. We still need the latter.Replies
Joe: Oh, that is so good to hear! I'm so glad they reopened (although the flea thing is kind of weird). And yes I agree completely: digital is great but not to the exclusion of physical books.Delete
The jury is still out on this issue, but some studies have indicated that there is a loss of comprehension between "tactile memory" (reading a printed book), and comprehension during screen reading. There may also be some books which aren't available in digital format. Not sure I'm ready for an all-digital library.ReplyDeleteReplies
Kathryn, there are quite a number of books that aren't available in digital format for one reason or another. I'm constantly surprised on a regular basis to find that this or that book isn't available. Of course, my tastes in some matters run to the obscure --- 1950s mysteries issued by off brand publishers --- but still. And there's nothing --- nothing --- like stumbling across one of those books in its physical form.Delete
Although different librarians have different sets of skills, there at least is the opportunity for some kind of curation and guiding that we've lost on the Internet. The misinformation available via the Internet is scary, and social media is no better, of course. The blind leading the blind.ReplyDelete
I don't think digital searches can ever replace the wonder of finding a book beside the one you were looking for, and finding a gem, but I do fear that we're heading there, fast and furiously.Replies
While the internet doesn't have a monopoly on misinformation, Sheryl (anyone who has ever been the subject/target of a newspaper article can tell you how quickly the truth can get lost) I'm with you on social media. Someone posts a statement on Facebook and it's conventional wisdom in five minutes. Mark Twain's statement about a lie traveling halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes has never been more true. Still...when research is concerned, particularly historical research, nothing beats physical, contemporaneous records and lots of them, so that one can pan from various sources to establish a record of sorts.Delete
Those gems you mentioned? I could go on and on. One of my biggest and earliest was discovering that "Paul French," who wrote the Lucky Starr juvenile science fiction series, had a few books published under his own name: Isaac Asimov. Thanks!
Great post, Joe. First of all, we had two adding machines in my father's store. One of them was the exact model in your picture. The cash register was lever operated. The typewriter was an Underwood manual, which I still have.ReplyDelete
Mrs. Edna Liggin was the librarian on the bookmobile that came to our school every two weeks and to our community in summer. An oasis of books and air conditioning in the hot Louisiana summers. She took an interest in the books I read, science fiction, and added a few every trip just for me. Can't imagine not having a library with real books. Thanks for a great discussion.Replies
Lance, thanks so much for your kind words. But most of all, thank you for the reminder about BOOKMOBILES! I had totally forgotten about those. I just did a quick check and they apparently can be found in 49 states (Maine, apparently, no longer has bookmobiles. Can that possibly be right?). There were a couple of summers where I would have been lost without those. Thanks again for the stories and the reminder.Delete
