The workshop proceedings are printed in Belgium by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven with ISBN 978-9-08-140992-6. The proceedings are also published online on the CEUR-Workshop website in volume Vol-870 of a series with ISSN 1613-0073.
In Experimental Economics, laboratory and field experiments are conducted on subjects in order to improve theoretical knowledge about human behavior in interactions. Although paying different amounts of money restricts the preferences of the subjects in experiments, the exclusive application of analytical game theory does not suffice to explain the recorded data. It exacts the development and evaluation of more sophisticated models. In some experiments, human subjects are involved into an interaction with automated agents and these agents are used for simulating human interactions.
The more data is used for the evaluation, the more of statistical significance can be achieved. Since huge amounts of behavioral data are required to be scanned for regularities and automated agents are required to simulate and to intervene human interactions, Machine Learning is the tool of choice for the research in Experimental Economics. Moreover modern economics extensively involves network structures, which can be modeled as graphs or more complicated relational structures.
Therefore relational machine learning is a potentially useful technique for the purposes of analyzing these new types of economic data. We hope that this workshop associated with the conference on Formal Concept Analysis and two related workshops will help to gather researchers from data analysis and economic communities and activate the power of algebraic and relational machine learning tools to gain the beneficial results.
All accepted papers will be included in the workshop's proceedings to be published by Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in a volume with ISBN. Also, the proceedings will be published online on the CEUR-Workshop web site. The best three papers submitted before ICFCA deadline of the workshop may be included in the main Springer volume associated with the conference.

From the Archives: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople, Part 1
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.

No Place Like Home: An interview with ECF grantee Seung-Hwan Kim
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.

"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapters 10-11
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."

John Ortberg Sermon: Does Science Disprove Faith?
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
Praying the Psalms: Psalm 19
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
BioLogos in One Sentence
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.

What's in the Works at BioLogos
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
From the Dust: Evolutionary Creation
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.

Commentaries - May 2010
H.D.'s desk
Lately I've been reading the blog of the Beinecke Library, called "Room 26 Cabinet of Curiosities." I took special note of a recent gift made to the Beinecke: H.D.'s writing desk. Its provenance seems significant, but no one knows for sure. H.D. biographer Barbara Guest: "Said to be Christina Rosetti's, it may originally have belonged to Empress Eugenie, who spent several years in exile in England. Bryher bought the desk for H. D. at the estate sale of Violet Hunt" (Herself Defined, 56). In the photo of the desk, in its new place in New Haven, we see a portrait H.D.'s friend and literary executor (and longtime Yale English faculty member) Norman Holmes Pearson.
The current issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette includes a story about our apprenticeships program. Here are a few paragraphs:
The apprenticeship program began taking shape in 2002, when faculty member and novelist Max Apple approached Al Filreis, the director of the Kelly Writer's House. Apple had been at work on a short-story collection, and was looking for a fresh reader who could offer some perspective on how to organize it. "I thought, we'll call this an apprenticeship, and we'll put the word out about it," says Filreis.
Then he went one step further. He decided to form a new program, and found two other faculty members working on their own projects who could use some help. As soon as word got out, "the students applied in droves," he recalls. "They wanted this."
After all, this sort of real world "lab experience" is already available to students in the hard sciences. "Typically, the physics student realizes that his own professor is actually working on some very important, cutting-edge research," he says, and from that point there's a well-defined path for the student trying to get from the classroom to doing advanced research in a working lab. The apprenticeship model provides the missing link for a writing student trying to make the leap from an undergrad workshop class to the professional craft. "I think with this program we've proved … there is such a thing as advanced research experiences in the world of writing," he says.
By establishing the Bassini Apprenticeships under the umbrella of CPCW, these courses could become credit bearing, says Filreis. The center is devoted to pedagogy that "really works" for the education of young writers, including experiences that might not necessarily take place inside a traditional classroom. "We believe very firmly that students learn best when they are essentially getting a one-on-one experience," Filreis says, a philosophy that he compares to the intimate size of the Kelly Writer's House. The largest room can barely hold a few dozen audience members, and "more often it's one person talking to five people," he says. "Narrow that down to its extreme, it's one person talking to one person."

Photographer's description: "Walking in Lake Union Park at night, I found a perfect mirror image of the Space Needle on the surface of a pond. My camera is a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS. Shutter speed 8 seconds, f/8.0, ISO 80."
Expert says: "This photo has a nice clarity from using a low ISO and long shutter speed. I like how the horizon splits the photo in half and is close to perfect on the reflection, which wouldn't occur if the pond wasn't still. The little starbursts are a nice touch."

A humbling experience
Posted 06 March 2012 - 10:00 AM
Next morning the venue was reversed ending with the veterans, as they trimmed pots they had made, decorated forms, and talked about their work. We had more poems from Jack, more philosophy about sales and pottery from Cynthia and John. In the morning the youngsters assembled and trimmed. Martha assembled a multi-spouted bud vase with pulled dogbone handles. Ronan cut the bottoms out of pots and distorted them adding new bases, while Jake assembled a teapot and made salt and pepper sets. The day had been exciting, insightful, and very humbling. I began to wonder if what I was doing was even worth pursuing, and so I left the last session conflicted as I headed to dinner. After dinner was to be a trip out to Dwight Holland's house. The way I was feeling, I almost didn't go, but decided to anyway, after all I had traveled Eight hours, maybe never to come this way again.
The trip to Dwight's house was quite something. GPS will travel works well if you have the right address all the time. Alas I didn't have the right address so I went back to the The Exchange where dinner had been to get better directions, and finally made it. Walking up to the house in the dark the first thing I saw was a large elk rack hanging off the wall, hmmm. Inside the door to the right, I was suddenly breathless, there on the walls, on shelves 2-3 deep, on the floor were pots-pots everywhere. I felt almost claustrophobic, the walls wanting to close in on me. So many fine pieces of pottery in one place, and as I turned to look across into the room further, crowded with conversing people, I saw more pots, casseroles here, pitchers, floor vases, jars, everything imaginable. Deep breathes later I started to gather my poise, and looked closer. We had been told by Dwight to pick pots up, feel them, enjoy them; I dared not. So I looked, working my way across the room. At one point looking at a shelf full of casseroles and bowls " Any of these seems familiar" Jack Troy asked. I had seen them before, in pictures, black and white and color, but here they were. I was told Jack yes they were familiar. He asked me about a piece on the end " who did this one" I couldn't answer him, it looked like salt glazing, but I was so uncertain of anything I answered "I don't know". "Warren Mackenzie" was his answer. We discussed things a short time ending with look and learn from Jack. I felt shamed, that I couldn't place pieces I had taught about without my notes! Had I not known anything, was what I had done for so many years just a shadow of what I should have could have done? These thoughts were with me as I went from room to room, looking all through the house, every room had its shelves of pottery every room priceless in the gathering of the history of 20th century ceramics, and the windows other pots gave on ceramics through the ages. Thousands of pots all in one home! I finally lifted some of the pots, felt them, learned form them, looked more closely at them once I got over the overwhelmed feeling I had when I walked into the house. I also learned a few things too. The size, the colors, the textures, the scope of what these pots were in person were not anywhere near what we saw in books and magazines. Nor was the understanding of the pieces the same when seen as in a museum, as it was when touched, felt with closed eyes, and enjoyed by being right there to do so. I also realized, that part of my inability to identify the Warren Mackenzie or others on the table was that I had only seen them in books or magazines, my understanding of these pots had been flawed all along.
Don't wait like I did until you are in your later years to go to a ceramics conference! Get out, take the time to see the wonderful people out there working in person, get a chance to see good pots up close. Live a little!
I also wish that when you post pots in the forum, or in the galleries that you will give some reference as to size. Seeing a Robin Hopper vase that stands 20" tall when your perceptions from books may say 14" gives you an inaccurate understanding of the piece. Not important you say? Let me approach it like this. We all know The Picnic on the Grass by Seurat. We know that it is a large pointillist work. So what. I had thought that I knew it also, until I saw it in Chicago years ago. I walked a room, turned a corner and there it was between two large doorways. It sublimated the walls, the room and everything in it. The control it had of the space due to is size, its color, the glowing vibrancy of the the small dots interacting with each other had a power beyond any understanding from a book. The sheer size was breathtaking. I finally understood the Picnic on the Grass. so post some reference to size in your work pictures, or show them in context to something we know as size. We as artists have always had to photograph our work to show the work and only the work for shows, but does that show the casual viewer everything they need to know; I think not.
After I got home, I walked out to the shop the next day, and looked at some mugs I had made before leaving, handling them, looking them, and breathing quietly. I realized in the end, that maybe I should continue on, I had some orders to do, some thoughts about pots I could pursue. I'll muddle through. . .

The key to Dwight's pottery collection is that he wants you to touch them. He wants you to put your fingers in the exact spot the potter did. He leaves out every pot he owns. He has donated his collection to East Carolina University on the condition that they are never sold and that the students can always touch them ... the grad students can even take them to the studio with them.
Below are some images of his pots and one of Dwight with his newest acquisition ... needed a pick up truck and some helpers!!

Beautiful, inspirational writing. We all need to see great work now and then to get inspired. It is always good to question what you do at some point as well.I have been feeling a bit low as I moved my studio and it is in a shambles. My 14 year old daughter said;"Dad, when are you going to start making pots again?"I guess I needed to be inspired as well. I am sealing the floor, so have moved everything to one half of the studio. I looked at my wedging table sitting there, and it is calling to me.

Good to talk with you also Chris. I talked with so many people over the weekend, but will probably not remember all of the names. It was nice to be among clay lovers. Thanks to everyone, and their kind comments.

a lot of shoji hamadas pots were very heavy, which was encouraging to me. seems like he wasn't as concerned as the US tends to be with how light pots "must" be.
Having worked with the Mashiko natural clay........ it is easy to understand the functional production aspects of the thicker wall sections. Plus "folk pottery" in Japan was traditionally not typically a thin ware. It all "fits". Not any "lack of skill" there.
Yes, the Pucker Gallery is a treasure. They are always supportive of visiting ceramists. We frequently have our students visit there and they are always very generous of their time and expertise. They always have a fabulous collection available to experience. (Hey... buy something there occasionally too.)

Good for her. |
I bought my dress for under $200. There was a department store that carried formal wear that was going out of business. I found a dress I really liked, tried it on and bought it. It was the only dress I tried on. It was pretty and I knew I wouldn't find a better price so I just bought it! Now to be honest it was 1992 . . . |

When my daughter got married (two years ago) we saved quite a bit on the open bar. We knew we didn't have a lot of big drinkers and we had a lot of elderly folks who didn't drink any alcohol at all, so we paid per drink instead of per person. We gave the bartender a dollar amount that when it was reached they would come and tell us and we would decide whether to keep the bar open or not. We never even reached that first amount. They did not even charge us for soft drinks. Of course the venue has to agree to this, but it doesn't hurt to ask. We saved about $1500.00. The down side of paying this way is there will always be a few people who think you are paying a set amount per person and will try to help you get your moneys worth by overindulging. You really need to have an idea of what kind of drinkers will be there. |
You can also save significantly, if you have the wedding at a less popular time, a friend had a Fri evening wedding rather than Sat. or Sun, and the price was SO much lower that way. Another friend did the destination wedding thing (Jamaica), and it was astounding how much LESS that cost her than having the whole wedding blast. Of course, it was much smaller, fewer could go, but they had a wonderful time for not that much $$$. |

My daughter and her fianc├® won a contest at a wedding expo and they paid for everything. Only downside was, the expo gave only two choices for everything, either this or that. Still, it was the best possible wedding for the lowest cost. (I pitched in for the wedding gown because I wanted her to have a real one, not a rental.) |

Colin Kaepernick is the reason why I don't call myself a scout, guru, or expert. I'm a mere pleb writing about football, sometimes logically and rationally, and on occasion, illogically and irrationally; I like to think that's human nature.
Kaepernick has been outstanding and is one of the league's fastest-rising talents. And in a league that has a class difference — and it does and always has; read more here — at the quarterback position, he appears to possess the talent to quickly ascend into the upper echelon despite his inexperience. I didn't always think that, however. I was one of the guys who was not a fan of Kaepernick's coming out of Nevada because he was far too much of a project, I thought. Now, he looks anything but with the masterful work he's done at the line of scrimmage, and of course, the throws he's made.
This past week against the New Orleans Saints, Kaepernick made two throws that he didn't make or attempt much at Nevada. They were the type that's filled with the "it" stuffing that evaluators get all gushy about when they discuss young quarterbacks. The first one came at the end of the first quarter, and it was a check-down to fullback Bruce Miller for 26 yards.
San Francisco was in "21″ personnel on the big play, featuring two backs and one tight end, and Kaepernick was under center — none of which he did at Nevada, by the way. A five-step play action fake to Frank Gore followed the snap and then the eyes of Kaepernick shifted to his far left in search of an open target.
The nearest target, tight end Vernon Davis (who ran a shoot route), was covered while the furthest was open briefly, but not soon enough to allow Kaepernick to get him the ball. Kaepernick was holding the football tight with both hands and feeling pressure from his right, which he was instinctively moving away from before abruptly taking his left hand off the ball and scrambling up and right of the pocket. He continued to run right, eluding pressure as he identified his potential receiver, and then he settled his eyes on his nearest target, running back Frank Gore.
Gore was one of two potential receivers — the other fullback Bruce Miller — on the play, and in between the two was polarizing Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma. Vilma was trapped in the middle, indecisive in his coverage, and Kaepernick took advantage by staring at Gore before throwing it to Miller, who ran down the right sideline for 26 yards. It was a moment of brilliance, and it showed just how impressive of a talent Kaepernick truly is.
Two quarters later, Kaepernick had another big throw, and this one went for 45-yards to tight end Delanie Walker.
It came three plays into the third quarter and featured heavy personnel, with two backs and two tight ends closely aligned. Kaepernick once again executed a play-action pass after receiving the snap, and then he looked down the field. As he did, he climbed the pocket and stepped up into the face of pressure without be rattled, delivering a strike to Walker a few yards outside of the hash mark. Albeit to the same side of the field, it was a difficult throw to make for Kaepernick because it was downfield, which is sometimes equivalent to playing catch during a hurricane.
The two throws above are what evaluators look for in young quarterbacks. They illustrate pocket presence, accuracy, and understanding of the game, and the ability to pose a threat in all depths of the field — in a few words, the complete quarterback.
It's only the beginning for Kaepernick, but it appears that the San Francisco 49ers have found the franchise passer that they've been longing for since the golden ages of Joe Montana and Steve Young. They were right, I was wrong.

I wish the family suites had more comfortable sleeping arrangements. I think it is a good idea. I hope the economy also supports this.
jim hill reports that Pop Cent. will be renamed here the article explaining
and also that the unfinished legendary yrs will become all family suites.
Jim Hill : Monday Mouse Watch: Will Pop Century be rebranded as Disney's Animation Inn and Suites?
the only 18 year old boy who like disney more than girls......... nvm disney is a close 2nd
I think back on why i am so strange now i know why .... I blame Disney but i still love it
" we have always tried to be guided by the basic idea that, in the discovery of knowledge, there is great entertainment."
- walt disney
I wish the family suites had more comfortable sleeping arrangements. I think it is a good idea. I hope the economy also supports this.
I like the Pop Culture theming! It needs to stay!
I haven't seen it yet so I can't say if I like it or not. I like the idea of family suites but they would need to bring the price down, last time I checked it was cheaper to get connecting rooms.
I sooooo wanted the Legendary Years to be themed and opened. I really wanted to stay in a 20s or 30s styled room. Who knows what the future truly holds. I always take this sort of stuff from Jim Hill with a large grain of salt.
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.Visited In: 1983, 1988, 1989 x2, 1991, 1992, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (passholder), 2007 (x2 x3), 2008, 2009 (x2), 2010, 2011 (x2)
Detail is there to make you believe in the reality of the story youre immersed in. - Joe Rohde
I stayed at POP once and really didn't like it..... but then I was stuck in the 90s section with the ugly pea green cell phones on the side of the building.
I've never done the family suite thing so I can't comment on what I think of the other portion of the resort becoming all those kind of rooms.
Upcoming Trips to WDW:
Dec 6-10: Disney Wonder
Dec 10-19: Port Orleans French Quarter
I always questioned how they were going to theme the earlier decade half of the Pop Century resort. Pop culture did not exist prior to the 1950's! Most of the pop culture references are a direct result of the growth of the baby-boomer generation, and its influence on society in the 20th century. I think they would of had a difficult time coming up with recognizable (at least to baby-boomers) icons to represent the early decades. They are going to have enough trouble coming up with Disney animated icons prior to Snow White in the 30's and Mickey in the 20's! Abandoning the decades constraints on the buildings will alleviate this problem. This way they can have Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, etc. buildings, and not have to worry about theming for the very early decades. I also think the family suite idea is the way to go.
Future Disney Trips:
May 30-June 9, 2015 for WDWRadio Cruise to Alaska and Vancouver, BC!
Aug. 12-20, 2015 for Disneyland Resort Trip and D23 Expo, staying at Grand Californian!
Uh...so what is All Star Movies then?
It seems like it would be a complete waste to tear down all the theming to put new things in its place.
I don't buy it.
I think more affordable suites is a good idea but I also agree that re-themeing the current sections sounds like a waste of money for a hotel that is already in good shape.
Why not use that money and take that Fantasyland upgrade off hold?
I've seen far too many Jim Hill reports never come true, so I'll just wait to form my opinion until I hear a more official announcement.
"Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy"
I'll note that his article is based around the fact that Disney HAS filed to build a test room for a "Disney's Animation Inn and Suites". Hill is trying to associate that with the rumors of actually completing the other side of POP.
I don't particularly like his style or his accuracy, but there is some logic to the conclusion. The area is already prepped, two shells and the main building are already there, etc.
If it is NOT the completion of the existing area, then is it a whole new resort? Where would it be? Flamingo Crossing by all reports is 3rd party hotels, etc.
Even with bookings down, Disney could be throwing cash on hand at building to be prepared for the hopefully big return of guests who had to put off trips because of the economy.
Website work in progress: WDW Untangled: Fastpass+ - Rider Switch - ADR Calculator - Magic Your Way Ticket Price Calculator
Non-WDW: Sci-Fi Storm - SF/Fantasy news
You're missing the fact that the existing buildings already have some animation theming, Jungle Book, Lady & the Tramp, Toy Story, etc. All they would have to do is remove the numbers, do some painting, and change the maps. Changing the theming before the other half is finished gives them a lot more options. And they don't have to worry about offending the flappers and moonshiners!
Future Disney Trips:
May 30-June 9, 2015 for WDWRadio Cruise to Alaska and Vancouver, BC!
Aug. 12-20, 2015 for Disneyland Resort Trip and D23 Expo, staying at Grand Californian!
You could have the Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald buildings.

A few months ago I was asked by the National Post to contribute to their "put your stock in a musician" series. With all the incredible talent across this country and hidden away from the masses here on the East Coast, the options were high, but I settled on Halifax's Jon McKiel.
Jon's last record was a solid collection of indie rock anthems, but any of his new material that's leaked out shows he's really found his stride. Jon's experimenting with heavier, sludge filled riffs but hasn't lost his love of hooks and harmonies.
So, why not take advantage of seeing him unleash some of his new songs when he plays The Seahorse on Friday March 12th with Babette Hayward and herohill favs Cousins. All you have to do is send us an email (herohill AT gmail DOT COM) or drop your pertinents in the comment section. Thursday afternoon we will make like Biz Markie, go up our nose and pick a winner.
We also want to take the time to give you all a super sneak preview of Jon's new work. Here's the demo version of Iceman, a track from his upcoming album. It's got a tight bass line, lots of nice feedback and some subtle, but spot on female backing harmonies. It's noisy and catchy, so basically I challenge you to listen to this 4-minutes of music and not want to see him live. Your move loyal blog reader… your move.

Big Brother stirs
PUBLISHED: 26 Apr 2012 00:06:56 | UPDATED: 26 Apr 2012 00:32:52PUBLISHED: 26 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 26 Apr 2012Kevin Troy
In his piece on the widely supported report on aged-care reform issued by the Productivity Commission ("Aged made to pay more for broken system", Opinion, April 24) Rohan Mead characterises the government's response as continuing "to cap supply and constrain innovation" in the face of lack of choice, lack of quality, lack of capital investment, a shrinking workforce and rising demand.
As to the formation of a new Aged Care Financing Authority, which will impose pricing controls on accommodation charges, Mead notes a consequent risk of "stifling competition with a mechanism that could lead to 'lowest common denominator' services" and that the proposed "reassessments of resident acuity levels will increase red tape rather than freeing up the workforce to provide added care".

Mazda MX-5 Miata Fuel Questions
Just purchased an '07 MX5 and the owner's manual says that I should use 91 octane or better. Is any one else with the same 2.0 engine using a lesser octane? And have you noticed any degradation in performance or mileage?
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Are you sure about that?
I saw this PDF from Mazda:
On page 11 it does say that under Recommended Fuel, but then it lists 91 octane again under Minimum Fuel Requirement.
Can you double-check with the techs there since you work in a dealership?
I will eventually replace my '93 with a newer one, and this is my "economy" commuter car. That would be a near deal-killer. :sick: -
wilzap Posts: 107Just put 89 octane in my last tank instead of 91 to see if I could notice a difference,used about3/4 tank when I refilled and got 30.3 per gal, didn't notice any difference in performance but most of the driving was done on country back roads and state roads, the tank before that I got 27.9 and both tanks I wasn't easy on it but also wasn't doing any real crazy driving or rally racing either,but I will probably use 91 most of the time
wpavlik2 Posts: 32I used to think that the "requirement" of Premium was a killer, until I did the math on how much more per tank we were really looking at.
4 bucks a tank?
I'd bet that Midrange would be just fine (it's 89 in most places) unless you hear knocking and then Premium is the solution to that. -
jimplogger Posts: 17
makakio Posts: 25Looking at a Miata as a 25-mile commuter (mix city/highway). Currently drive an 03 BMW 325 averaging 24.5mpg and it's cherry, so I'd like to think about parking it and hanging onto it rather than continuing to add miles.
Regarding the Miata, I'd appreciate real-world mileage numbers from real-world enthusiasts. 5M or 6M please and if you tend to drive in a fairly hasty manner like me (and unlike, say, my father, who *averages* 29mpg in his Boxster), I'd appreciate that feedback.

Lists: Top five musical guest stars on "The Simpsons"
By Allison Stewart
"The Simpsons"' 21st season is set to conclude on Sunday night with an "American Idol"-themed episode. And while the season may have been a mixed bag -- we're still examining our feelings about their use of Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" over the opening credits a few weeks back -- it got us thinking about the show's all-time best musical cameos.
With talk of an upcoming Joanna Newsom appearance still just a rumor (show creator Matt Groening has already Simpson-ized her) we've made a list of our favorites, painfully narrowed down to five, after the jump:
Click Track's Top Five Favorite Simpsons Musical Cameos
5. Cypress Hill, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Peter Frampton, et al: "Homerpalooza," May '96
The one where Homer tours with Lollapalooza.
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers: "Krusty Gets Cancelled," May '93
The one where RHCP perform on a Krusty special, and hilarity ensues. Most all the English-language clips of this episode have been taken down, but, unlike most things, it's just as funny in German (linked above).
3. Johnny Cash: "The Mysterious Voyage of Homer," January '97
The one where JC shows up as a talking coyote/spirit guide in one of Homer's hallucinations. Like the best Simpsons cameos, this one will make you re-think a celebrity you thought you knew (see #1, especially).
2. James Taylor: "Deep Space Homer," Feb '94
The one where Homer goes into space. An all-time classic episode, it earns bonus points for its Art Garfunkel joke. You just can't have too many of those.
1. Michael Jackson: "Stark Raving Dad," Sept '91
The one where Jackson plays a large, white mental patient who thinks he's Michael Jackson.
Honorable Mentions: The White Stripes (who memorably sent up their "The Hardest Button to Button" video during the'06-'07 season), Metallica ('06-'07 season), Aerosmith ('91-'92 season) and 50 Cent ('04-'05 season).

You forgot Barry White's cameo in "Whacking Day." I believe this to be the greatest musical cameo on "The Simpsons," because Barry White says the words "I love the sexy slither of a lady snake. Ohhh baby."

I don't know what your taste in music is, and your choices aren't bad, but how could you not include 1 of the 3 Beatles that did the show?? I mean especially Paul McCartney!! Ok thats my opinion, just wanted to point that out.

Yesterday there was a new source of gender battle outrage on the internets, as spelled out by The Mary Sue. It seems that director James Gunn, who has made the film Super and is slated to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy has a very active website and online presence and nearly two years ago he ran a piece called 50 Superhero you want to have sex with that included all kinds of jokes about having sex and rape and gays.

After yesterday's bucket of cold water dumped over our heads by Jim Zub, we were toying with the idea of making a "resource page" with links to facts and figures on the industry but former Flash Gordon artist and current MCAD teacher Jim Keefe has done it for us!

We recommend that young creators (and maybe some old ones as well) check out all the links.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)New evidence cited on Philippine 'first Mass' site
April 5th, 2006
UCANews (www.ucanews.com) BUTUAN CITY, Philippines (UCAN) – A priest claims he has new evidence to correct an inaccuracy in the history of the origins of Christianity in the Philippines. Father Joesilo Amalla, curator of Butuan Diocesan Liturgical Museum, plans to petition the National Historical Institute to study "new evidence" indicating that the first Mass in the Philippines was held in his Agusan del Norte province and not on Limasawa Island, Southern Leyte province. Butuan City, the Agusan del Norte capital, is 750 kilometers (about 470 miles) southeast of Manila. Southern Leyte reaches down to within 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) of Agusan. Father Amalla also serves as trustee of the Butuan City Cultural and Historical Foundation Inc. (BCHFI). Journals of an early Spanish expedition record that a Mass took place on "Mazaua," but the historical foundation contends that the Mass was held in Masao, an island that is now part of Butuan. On April 3, members of the historical foundation met in Butuan and discussed the findings of a geomorphologist and a geologist who support the Butuan group's claim. Among new findings discussed were 28 items of scientific evidence and comparisons between the two islands, Masao and Limasawa, Father Amalla told UCA News. He said foundation members resolved to petition the National Historical Institute to consider "new proofs" gathered by the priest and other scientists. Father Amalla recalled that when National Historical Institute chairman Ambeth Ocampo visited Butuan earlier this year, he advised BCHFI officers to submit an updated position paper. Historians say the Spanish expedition that landed on Mazaua on March 31, 1521, was led by Ferdinand Magellan. Expedition members reportedly planted a cross on the island where the fleet's chaplain, Father Pedro De Valderrama, celebrated Easter Sunday Mass. A Philippine law in the 1960s declared Limasawa Island a national shrine commemorating the first Mass in the country, but the BCHFI has contested the law since the 1980s. Government officials in Agusan del Norte also pledged support for the BCHFI cause during the recent commemoration of the first Mass in Butuan City. Some 200 parishioners, Religious, government and tourism officials joined Butuan Diocese's commemoration March 31. Father Amalla, who said the Mass in Latin to "recapture the atmosphere of the first Mass," lamented that conflicting historical accounts of La Primera Misa (the first Mass) have caused "confusion and a sort of division" among Filipino historians and Catholics. In Manila, Augusto De Viana, chief of the National Historical Institute's research and publications division, told UCA News that officials anticipate a formal petition by the BCHFI to reopen Butuan's first-Mass claim. The institute recognizes Limasawa as the official site of the first Mass, De Viana said. "We need documentary evidence, like journals of explorers, and we also welcome other findings of experts," he said. Following this, discussions among representatives of claimants would then be set, he added. A three-member "independent panel" excluding institute members would evaluate both claims, De Viana said, explaining that the panel usually engages non-historians, such as lawyers, to avoid bias. Noting that three other northern and central Philippine provinces have claimed that the first Mass was held in their place, De Viana wondered about the value of these claims in making Filipinos "good Christians." He said "future Masses" and not the first Mass is the church's "more important task." Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Metric Halo and Pro Tools 9 – Together at Last
HOPEWELL JUNCTION, NEW YORK – DECEMBER 2010: With the introduction of Pro Tools 9, Metric Halo's entire line of high-end audio interfaces is not only compatible with the ubiquitous software platform, but fully-integrated as well, providing hardware configuration that is both accessed and saved within the Pro Tools environment. Renowned among audio professionals who demand transparent mic preamps, transcendent AD and DA conversion, and organic DSP, the Metric Halo interfaces are available in a range of I/O counts, feature sets, and price points. In addition, they are also arguably the most stable interfaces available, winning the trust of users who rely on them in live situations.
"Of course, Metric Halo was ready for Pro Tools 9 on day one," said Allen Rowand, Metric Halo's field operative, "All of our products feature fully supported low-latency CoreAudio drivers and an RTAS version of the unique ConsoleConnect plugin." ConsoleConnect provides direct access to Metric Halo's MIO Console from within Pro Tools, allowing users to control the Metric Halo hardware, mixer, plugins, and monitor controller without leaving the Pro Tools environment. Even better, ConsoleConnect stores and recalls a complete hardware configuration state with the Pro Tools session. No other third-party interface on the market does that. more
