One Night With Joan
At an age when most people contemplate their dotage, actress, writer and mother Joan Collins gamely takes the role of host in this one-woman show, detailing the highs and lows of her career in showbusiness. The facts and figures you can pick up from Wikipedia, but what Collins gives us is the personal touch, an affectionate and pragmatic view of a life lived to the full but never to excess.

Those looking for a sob story need to look elsewhere, as Collins immediately establishes that she had a happy childhood and, despite the four divorces, several law suits and seriously questionable film choices, she remains at her most content when surrounded by her family. A jobbing actor with a gypsy lifestyle, Collins found fame and infamy on both sides of the Atlantic but never lost the ability to laugh at herself, endearing her to generations of fans.
Collins' self-penned script is witty and insightful, condensing an autobiography into slick, entertaining sound bites delivered with the energy of an enthusiastic ingenue. It's all here from Land of the Pharaohs to Dynasty via Empire of the Ants and The Bitch, proving if nothing else that Collins' body of work is probably one of the more colourful in screen history.
Thanks to designer Oliver Sones, who the host generously introduces on stage, the evening is given a backdrop of tantalising video clips and stills from Collins' career. From gorgeous child to wasp-waisted vamp, from small screen to CinemaScope, Collins' acting career might not be critic proof but she is certainly a part of Hollywood folklore and in a world full of mere celebrity, she remains a genuine British star.

Franklin, our vintage knits columnist, has once again done us proud with the Pineapple bag pattern in the Spring & Summer issue.
He's written a post on his blog about the joys and challenges of reading vintage patterns.
Written in Franklin's inimitable and hysterical style (although be warned, the language is a little bit salty), it's a fascinating insight into what passed for a set of decent pattern instructions way back when. And the work that Franklin goes through every issue to turn these wonderful antique patterns into a set of instructions we can actually understand.

Golfing for a cure
Statistically, discovering someone you love has cancer is an experience almost everyone will go through. I was starting week two of a new job as arts editor of the Idaho Mountain Express when I got the news. My father, who was more than 5,000 miles away in my home country of England, had acute myeloid leukemia. For Harmon Killebrew, one of the most prolific power hitters in major league baseball history, discovering that his Minnesota Twins teammate had leukemia ignited a philanthropic urge in the man who hit 573 home-runs in his career.
During that career, baseball journalists lamented Killebrew's understated personality. "Killebrew is so quiet that sportswriters have given up trying to jazz up his image," said Time magazine in 1964. "He didn't go out, he didn't go ballistic, he didn't go anything but bald," wrote Steve Rushin in this Sports Illustrated article following the Hall of Famer's death in 2011. But this baseball-star-turned-Boise-insurance-salesman had a more permanent legacy ahead of him: funding research into a cure for cancer.
While my father won his battle with the disease, Danny Thompson lost his, passing away in 1976 at the age of 29. The tragedy of such a young life and great talent being cut so short inspired Killebrew and his friend Idaho congressman Ralph Harding to start an annual event to raise money for research into the disease. Debuting in the summer of 1977 as a celebrity clambake, the Danny Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament has generated over $12 million for the battle against leukemia.
A Payette boy, Killebrew chose to host the event at Sun Valley Resort, on whose magnificent courses the four-person two-best ball tournament has been played ever since. Drawing stars from the world of baseball and Hollywood, such as Joe Washington, Jack Morris, Don Felder and Kevin Sorbo, the tournament's high profile has helped generate substantial donations to the University of Minnesota Cancer Research Center in Minneapolis and St. Luke's Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise. "Due to the participation and support of nationally known celebrities and sponsors, the tournament has not only raised in excess of $11 million that has gone directly to leukemia and cancer research, but over the years these funds have been used in various matching grant programs leveraged to the million dollar level annually," Tournament Director Georgie Fenton said in an interview with the Idaho Mountain Express in 2011.
Killebrew lost his own battle with cancer in 2011, and last year the tournament was renamed in its founder's honor. The first Killebrew-Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament raised $700,000, bringing the grand total collected over 36 years to $12.5 million. Not bad for a round of golf in an idyllic setting.
This year's tournament runs from Wednesday, August 21 through Saturday, August 24. Registration for the 2013 tournament is now closed, but tickets are still available for the benefit concert on August 21 at 8 p.m. featuring Huey Lewis and The News. Purchase tickets from $54 to $255 here, or opt for a $159 hotel package of one night's lodging and two show tickets by calling 800-786-8259 or clicking here.

Is there a plan for FFG to get in the Tablet/Phone trend?
Days of Wonder have Small World done pretty nicely. I wish I can find an iPad version of some FFG like Descent, Mansion of Madness, Cosmic Encounter and the rest. I would definitely pay for it even though I own so many FFG games.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but I am a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's been mentioned on the podcast once or twice. In the weird, twisted, nonsensical world of sports fandom, I am dug deep in my love of this team. However, this year I've started to feel something more for my team. Something kindred, if you will. Perhaps it's just where I am at in my life but I'm starting to feel a connection with this Leafs team I've not felt for a sports team, well, ever. As I said on today's show, this is a team for people who are bad at life. And that's a good thing. This Maple Leafs team is pretty much everything I dislike about hockey – they play way too many goons for way too many minutes and said goons drum up fights and trouble for no real reason outside of the fact it's all they know how to do – but I can't help but love them. They're losers. I am a loser. We lose together and, to steal a phrase from my favorite TV show, we lose well.
But what does that say about me? And what does that say about fandom in general? How do we justify cheering for teams that we know are bad but are forced to live with because of geographic predisposition? Cheering for a bad team is tough. So is life. Let's get through both together. I am a disaster of a human being and I cheer for a disaster of a hockey team and it's pretty helpful. (yeah, that probably doesn't say great things about my mental health but it's true). So, here are some steps for cheering for a team that should make you feel crazy but, instead, makes you feel sane.

My other lights come on only when the headlights are on but they do not get brighter when the brake pedal is pressed. All the fuses are fine, and I even changed the tail light lamps. I did notice that my hazard signal is not working either...once again all fuses are good...
Any advice will be gratly appreciated. -

"Sounds like its creating a vacuum in the tank and fuel lines. Try replacing your gas cap with a vented one"
Ah yes! That's a good pick up - I missed that. They said Engine starts runs fine - then craps out - and needs time for the vacuum lock to go away.... Good Catch. I'd also check the Vapor lines in / around the Gas fill area + the vapor canister under the hood ...
Actually - they could just "Loosen" the cap and take it for a ride - if it runs OK - it's something we've mentioned here (hopefully)

rpmathis Posts: 2I know the door switches are working because the buzzer turns off when the doors are closed but the interior lights do not turn off. The dash dimmer works properly. The lights even stay on when the key is removed so I have had to remove all interior light bulbs.
Should I replace the dash dimmer (because that is also the interior light switch)?
Where is the interior lamp control module located? It's called out on the schematic but I don't know where it is located. Could it be that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

2318 Posts: 1I am having an idle problem with my sonoma. The truck was my grandparents and was not drove very hard or very much,it only has 64,000 miles on it. The problem accrues when the truck is hot and in gear. For example if I drive to work 25 miles away I pull up to a red light the truck wants to die, but never does. The oil pressure I noticed goes up and down as the truck idles up and down. If I put the truck in neutral or park it seems to idle fine. I have replaced the EGR valve,CO2 sensor and the thermostat. If you have any idea what the problem could be please respond I would greatly appreciate it.

My house (the interior) was destroyed in Hurricane Sandy. My father custom built the kitchen cabinets back in 1963. He was a businessman and read books on building (he actually built the whole house). They are (were) beautiful for all these years, but since the flood, I can't really use them. I am so sad to let them go, so I thought of maybe repurposing one of them. Any ideas? |

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am very sentimental and know I would be heartbroken the things very special to me. I don't know if it's an upper or base cabinet, but if it's a base you could have it make up one end of a desk (with a deep table top going across it with two nice table legs on the other end. Here is another one where they made it into a sort of sofa table that is very pretty. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/before-after-re-1-156778 Here are some more pieces of furniture build out of cabinets: http://pinterest.com/dana_beam/repurposing-projects/ |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ideas for cabinet doors
no suggestions here but I am so sorry for your losses and everything you have had to go through. Susan |

So sorry for all you've lost. If they're uppers, could you hang them above your washer/dryer for storage of laundry items? Or above a flat desk area (maybe add open shelving if needed too)? Or above a workspace in a crafting or hobby area? Hard to say without a pic. How cool that he built the house though! |
I'm so sorry for your loss. Even though it can't be a kitchen cab, could it be used in the basement or garage? In my neighborhood, most people have cabs in the garage that were clearly from the old kitchen. I realize this isn't as sentimental as making something new and lovely, but it would keep one around for you. Or could it become a vanity? |
A single cabinet that doesn't match could be a message center, used as a bathroom medicine cabinet, in a child's room, garage -- and doors can be used in similar and other ways. You could put two bases together with a top to make a desk, two or more to form an island or a craft table/center Laundry cabinets have been mentioned. Most of the time, people say the stuff can all be replaced, but your loss is greater than just the structure. I hope you can find a way to use at least one cabinet or possibly several doors. |

Group of merchants, pilgrims, or travelers journeying together, usually for mutual protection, in deserts or other hostile regions. The camel was the most common means of transport. Caravans have been described since the beginning of recorded history, and they were a major factor in the growth of settlements along their routes. One caravan trail developed into the Silk Road. During the height of caravan travel, which lasted until the 19th century, a single caravan of Muslim pilgrims journeying from Cairo and Damascus to Mecca might employ as many as 10,000 camels.

As I finish up testing this video board, I can't help to wonder how they managed to get such good power in a package that is currently retailing for US$172. Granted the card came in dead last in every test, but that was expected. What wasn't expected was the range between performance levels.
With 128MB of a very good quality memory, not only can you get some very workable numbers from the default settings, but you can get even more with its effective overclocking capabilities. Though I expected a bit more from the memory modules, I didn't expect nearly the levels I received from the VPU core itself. Overall a very nice touch.
The cooling is smallish, but effective. There was very little sound put out by the fan used, but if you prefer a total quiet solution you can look into the Sapphire 9600XT Ultimate Edition, which will feature heatpipe cooling instead of the active type.
Bottom line...If you're looking for solid performance but don't have a boatload of money to spend on your next video board, then you have definitely found your dream card. With good performance and a price that is about $30 less than other 9600XT boards available, you just can't go wrong.
- Pros
Less expensive than other 9600XT boards
Playable frame rates with AA/AF enabled
Excellent overclocking of core
Very good performance
Decent software
- Cons
Memory overclocking a bit off
Rating - 9/10 and TweakTown's Best Value Award
Find the lowest price on Sapphire Graphics Boards!

I was looking for something else, and came upon this article from "Counterpunch" from a few weeks ago. The timing is still good. This should have at least a ring of truth for anyone who is paying attention. Or maybe that's just me.
Weekend Edition October 12-14, 2012 Under the Cloak of Liberalism America on the Cusp of Fascism by NORMAN POLLACK "I use "fascism" here not as a cliche, but as an historical-structural formation principally rooted in the mature stage of capitalism, in which business-government interpenetration (what the Japanese political scientist Masao Maryuma called the "close-embrace" system) has created hierarchical social classes of wide differences in wealth and power, the militarization of social values and geopolitical strategy, and a faux ideology of classlessness to instill loyalty for the social order among working people. In fact, each of these factors is already present to a high degree in America, superbly disguised however by the rhetoric of liberalism, as in Mr. Obama's presidency. This said, my provocative hypothesis (only slightly tongue-in-cheek) is that in the coming election Romney is preferable to Obama. Why? In broad terms, we see varying degrees of sophistication in the mad dash across the finish line (i.e., fascism proper, midway between nascent and full-blown), with Romney and Republicans representing plebeian fascism, and Obama and Democrats a sophisticated corporatist form. Everything charged against Romney may be true, from Social Darwinist beliefs and gut-militarism to cultural intolerance and xenophobia, and perhaps even more so for the party as a whole, though that is a moot point; an overt negation, on all grounds,of what we mean by democracy. (Not that America has honored or achieved that state of political-economic development through most of its history!) To pursue the candidacy of Romney involves one in a societal nightmare of unrestrained wealth (and the perks that go with it, from horribly skewed taxation policy to categorical setbacks to unions, wage rates, and an antilabor climate) and severe cuts in the social safety net. All this is known, predictable, transparent; part of my argument for viewing Romney as preferable to Obama. Clearly, Trotsky in popularized form is in the back of my mind. By contrast, Obama is unassailable, enjoying the protective cloak of the state secrets doctrine (which, also as the National Security State, he invokes constantly), the liberal glossing on all policy matters, thanks to the extremely able spinmeisters Axelrod and Rhodes, and an adoring, submissive, uncritical base, in deep denial and for whatever reasons unwilling to examine the administration's record. That record confirms the long-term political, economic, and moral bankruptcy of the Democratic party, whose differentiating character setting it apart from the Republicans lies in the magnitude of skilled evasion and/or deception surrounding policies which themselves replicate the central elements in those of their opponents. Republicans sincerely criticize Obama because they are too ignorant to recognize, in their rush to antigovernment rhetoric, that he takes the same position as they smoothed out to please a base at best composed of pretend-radicalism and, equally, to ward off criticism from those who desperately want to believe his earlier promises. This comes down to political theater at its cruelest. The list of actual betrayal is long and virtually covering his public policy without exception. (A good start can be found in the critical essays in Hopeless, a true icebreaker for the uninformed prepared to listen.) Let me select several obvious examples. 1) Health care, in which Obama savaged the single-payer system, thus preparing the way for the same on the public option, meanwhile silencing, or rather, delegitimating all dissident voices, at the same time as exempting health insurers from antitrust prosecution and favoring Big Pharma; 2) Civil liberties, a good litmus test of democratic governance, in which Obama's Department of Justice argued against granting habeas corpus rights to detainees, invoked the Espionage Act against whistleblowers, carried surveillance beyond that of previous administrations, with the National Security Agency one of the culprits practicing the black magic of eavesdropping, while renditions and "black holes" continue and even agencies like FDA spy on its employees; 3) militarism, from which foreign policy, including trade policy, cannot be excluded, in which the drone,as Obama's signature weapon,terrorizes whole populations reeking destruction from the skies, naval power displayed from the South China Sea to the Mediterranean, a whole new generation of nuclear weapons in the pipeline (exempt from potential budgetary sequestration), a military budget itself second to none, and what appears to be a permanent state of war; 4) the omissions, which by their absence speak volumes about the purposes and policies of his administration, in which job creation and foreclosures have not been addressed, climate change, wholly disappeared, gun control, nonexistent, poverty never, never mentioned, and business and banking regulation the compounding of phoniness on phoniness, not unexpected considering Obama's belief in deregulation and bringing in the Clinton-Rubin crowd of free marketeers. How much more or worse damage can Romney and the Republicans do? They might fuss about same-sex marriage and contraception, while Obama, in his Pacific-first geopolitical vision and concrete strategy, wants to encircle China, and press for an economic agenda promoting further corporate-wealth concentration. If Republicans come across as Taliban on cultural issues, Democrats almost surreptitiously advance the financialization of the total economy, with the consequent distortions introduced:loss of manufacturing, increasing wealth concentration, and capitalism's Achilles heel, underconsumption. Why Romney? Because his transparency as a Neanderthal may, just may, bring people into the streets, while under Obama passivity and false consciousness appear almost irreversible. I for one will stay home. The lesser-of-two-evils argument is morally obtuse, and dangerous, the first, because it means complicity with policies ultimately destructive, the second, because it induces an undeserved self-righteousness which next time around would yield further compromise. If the people are gulled and lulled into the acceptance of mock-democracy, courtesy of Goldman Sachs and waterboarding apologist Brennan, with Obama presiding over the bread-and-circuses routine, heaven help us." Norman Pollack is a Harvard Ph.D. and the author of "The Populist Response to Industrial America" (Harvard) and "The Just Polity" (Illinois), Guggenheim Fellow, and professor of history emeritus, Michigan State University. |

Ya think? Not quite what we've been hearing around here. The author has a clever mind. ;D |

Pollack's interests include the long struggle between the populist parties/movements in rural and Southern America and industrialized societies, basically defending the populism of Jefferson and Jackson against the corporatism and fascism of contemporary eras. He sees no difference between the Republicans and Democrats, just pat differences in rhetoric and styles. Getting too late in my evening for heavy thinking and typing. All this rain has raised hell with my arthritic fingers. |
"He sees no difference between the Republicans and Democrats, just pat differences in rhetoric and styles." Fascinating; I have a struggle with that difference (or should I say lack of difference) myself. Say no more. Good night. |
As an Obama supporter I could agree that 'some' of that essay is basically true. Ralph Nader used to always say "Tweedledee and Tweedledum" about the two parties- that was long before Obama was on the scene. But I also disagree with the author. Sometimes the better of two evils is good enough. And a community can be under the thumb of a regime a long time before any kind of revolt or revolution comes along. And I'm wary of anyone who says they're going to stay home. And revolutions are not predictable in their outcomes. It is sometimes better to do what we can to change what we have. And when I think about the role the Supreme Court played in 'Citizens United', basically allowing the election process to be corrupted with big money, I know there is a difference between a Romney and an Obama administration. |

Norman Pollack is interesting as long as you have other collegiate players to sit around a play out a long handed game of Populist Ideas. If you roll doubles twice your an elitist. Heady stuff! What do you get from it Elvis? |

Pollack the Provocateur would love this thread. Populist America is as American as apple pie, so to speak. It preceded and was a counter to the great industrial labor movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, having its roots in agrarian communal movements and was more libertarian than socialistic. No wonder some here would reject its p.o.v. out of hand. |

I know little of Pollack but would say that he's of the same thought as the leftists who were against FDR. Roosevelt was seen as 'saving capitalism' and impeding a potential revolution that would install a better and different system. I'm having trouble how the following could be described as 'so much fun:' Everything charged against Romney may be true, from Social Darwinist beliefs and gut-militarism to cultural intolerance and xenophobia, and perhaps even more so for the party as a whole... To pursue the candidacy of Romney involves one in a societal nightmare of unrestrained wealth (and the perks that go with it, from horribly skewed taxation policy to categorical setbacks to unions, wage rates, and an antilabor climate) and severe cuts in the social safety net. So elvis thinks the above analysis of her candidate is 'fun' and I'm left speechless. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 13:21
I think maybe elvis is trying to lure lefties to defend Pollack, a fellow who would advocate socialism as an antidote to capitalistic plutocracy. |
"So elvis thinks the above analysis of her candidate is 'fun' and I'm left speechless." All evidence to the contrary :D ----------------------- "Co-opting the Left If the Great Depression, with all its attendant effects, shifted national attitudes to the left, why was it that no strong radical movement committed itself to a third party during these years? A key part of the explanation was that President Roosevelt succeeded in including left-wing protest in his New Deal coalition. He used two basic tactics. First, he responded to the various outgroups by incorporating in his own rhetoric many of their demands. Second, he absorbed the leaders of these groups into his following. These reflected conscious efforts to undercut left-wing radicals and thus to preserve capitalism. Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated his skill at co-opting the rhetoric and demands of opposition groups the year before his 1936 reelection, when the demagogic Senator Huey Long of Louisiana threatened to run on a third-party Share-Our-Wealth ticket. This possibility was particularly threatening because a тАЬsecretтАЭ public opinion poll conducted in 1935 for the Democratic National Committee suggested that Long might get three to four million votes, throwing several states over to the Republicans if he ran at the head of a third party. At the same time several progressive senators were flirting with a potential third ticket; Roosevelt felt that as a result the 1936 election might witness a Progressive Republican ticket, headed by Robert La Follette, alongside a Share-Our-Wealth ticket. To prevent this, Roosevelt shifted to the left in rhetoric and, to some extent, in policy, consciously seeking to steal the thunder of his populist critics. In discussions concerning radical and populist anticapitalist protests, the president stated that to save capitalism from itself and its opponents he might have to тАЬequalize the distribution of wealth,тАЭ which could necessitate тАЬthrow[ing] to the wolves the forty-six men who are reported to have incomes in excess of one million dollars a year.тАЭ Roosevelt also responded to the share-the-wealth outcry by advancing tax reform proposals to raise income and dividend taxes, to enact a sharply graduated inheritance tax, and to use tax policy to discriminate against large corporations. Huey Long reacted by charging that the president was stealing his program. President Roosevelt also became more overtly supportive of trade unions, although he did not endorse the most important piece of proposed labor legislation, Senator Robert WagnerтАЩs labor relations bill, until shortly before its passage. Raymond Moley, an organizer of RooseveltтАЩs тАЬbrain trust,тАЭ emphasized that the president, through these and other policies and statements, sought to identify himself with the objectives of the unemployed, minorities, and farmers, as well as тАЬthe growing membership of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), Norman ThomasтАЩ vanishing army of orthodox Socialists, Republican progressives and Farmer-Laborites, Share-the-Wealthers, single-taxers, Sinclairites, Townsendites [and] Coughlinites.тАЭ The rest is here (I did a link once, but for the life of me, don't remember how, this a.m.): http://www.hoover.org/publications/hoover-digest/article/7076 Yes, I think this is fun stuff. You are pining for snarky stuff; read a couple of the posts above yours. |

I'm thinking you googled Pollack No, I did not. I would have thought that the left analysis of FDR's policies was common knowledge, and required no assistance from google on your part. |

The economist Mark Thoma, came out with an interesting blog post that generated a lot of interesting comments before the primary season. "The Need for Countervailing Power", or what is going to counter the globalized economic reality of powerful capital and technological interests now that the labor union movement has been largely emasculated (my take on what he wrote). Neither party is truly interested in organized labor and confront powerful capitalistic interests. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The Need for Countervailing Power
This is all burble-every single catch phrase in this stuff has multiple meanings according to who you are referencing so it is easy to create a mash-up to support or defend or deride any point of view whatso ever. It is late night too much wine sophomore year burble. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 17:30
Well, Pollack is not a sophomore; I may be sophomoric but that's congenital. |
Marshall, all Thoma did there is summarize, in a very general way, the union (lack of power) issue. I can only speak from my experience with my union, and I won't get into it here. Suffice it to say that being Chief Steward and a conservative has been interesting. I do believe that it is true that neither major party gives a fig about the union workers' lot in life. They want our dues and our votes. One way workers can organize without unions is for units with common job descriptions/duties to band together and hire legal counsel. The trick would be to avoid allowing the same type of hierarchal organizations to form, bringing us full circle. Hopefully someone will figure out how to do this. |
"I do believe that it is true that neither major party gives a fig about the union workers' lot in life." Elvis, you don't believe that was party is more harmful to your union in WISCONSIN than the other? I think most would disagree. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 18:25
Elvis, you are describing perhaps guilds which used to involve long apprenticeships and were hierarchical. Both parties are dominated by plutocratic culture, not democratic one. I considered using the word oligarchic but passed that over because not all our oligarchs are interested in the political domination, just economic security. A bit muddled, here, in my thinking, perhaps. Among the suggestions in the comments following Thoma's posting, consumer unions were suggested as a counter to the transnational interests and powers of corporations and financial giants. The odds of a successful transnational union of, say, auto workers are close to nil. Labor in the nation and across the globe have lost most bargaining power in an age of rapid movements of capital and technological innovation. |
I know, Marshall. I guess the best course of action is to be wildly wealthy and powerful. That would be the ticket. No more heavy thinking for me today. I'm about to become a dog-grandmother for the first time. I should start a new thread and ask for advice. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Sun, Nov 18, 12 at 21:05
Good luck of puppyhood midwifing. Done that with a half dozen kinds of animals and birds. Would that we all could be wildly wealthy and powerful, but both require much responsibility and crafting defenses to keep wealth and power. |

Elton John and his band played the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia to an enthusiastic and packed crowd as part of his "All the Hits" tour, giving the crowd their money's worth with two and a half hours of a solid performance of songs from his vast repertoire.
The band entered a dark stage to the strains of Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, with a touch of fog for effect. Elton took his place at the Yamaha grand piano dressed in a long tuxedo jacket full of glitter over black slacks, a blue collared shirt, and a large sparkling diamond on his left ear. His trademark wild glasses were black rimmed with a touch of blue shades.
Elton John's band includes longtime guitarist Davey Johnstone, who has logged over 2,000 concerts with Elton, and has played on most of his albums. Drummer and backing vocalist Nigel Olsson has been with Elton since the beginning.
Following the tragic death of Bob Birch, Davey invited bassist Matt Bissonette to join the band in 2012. John Mahon became a member of the band in 1997. He plays percussion and sings back-up. Keyboardist Kim Bullard has been with Elton since 2009. For more about the band members, see Elton John's website.
After perfect versions of Bennie and the Jets and Candle in the Wind, John officially greeted the crowd "Good Evening Philadelphia. You just heard a whole side of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road that's coming out again next year. Here's another song from that album," he said, introducing Grey Seal.
Four female backup singers joined the band at this point for the next bunch of songs. The two cellists who opened the show (with two songs) also took part here.
Switching albums now, the set moved on to Levon from Madmen across the Water followed by Tiny Dancer. A huge chandelier comes down slowly above the stage and becomes the centerpiece of the show. Different colored lights constantly changing and blinking gave an eloquent feel to the stage.
Two large video screens hung high on either side of the stage for those in the nose-bleed section to get a closer view.
"The first time we came to America was September 1970," John related to introduce the next number. "We always stayed in the same hotel so we decided to write a song about it, and it's called 'Holiday Inn.'"
Next, Elton brought up the concert for 9/11 in New York City, saying it was one of the most moving experiences of his life. "We had to think of a song to do at that concert, and we decided on Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters."
"….and I thank the Lord there's people out there like you…."
It makes sense that Elton would mention his longtime writing partner. "I've been writing with Bernie Taupin for 47 years," the legendary singer said as he launched into Believe from the 1994 album Made in England.
For Philadelphia Freedom, the song he wrote for Billy Jean King's tennis team here, the crowd was on its feet, the lights up bright, with an American flag flowing in digital form behind the band, and the chandelier blinking red, white and blue lights opened up completely for the first time all the way down.
"That's one song I'm really glad I wrote!" Elton proclaimed as he took some bows and smiled at the crowd.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road followed after which the lights went down and only a spotlight focused on the singer for some beautiful piano playing that segued into Rocket Man. Watch for a movie of that name to come out soon, as production has begun, telling Elton's life story.
"….and I'm going to be high as a kite by then…." Surely, words that once played a part in his life but now after 20+ years of sobriety, not so much. The story of Elton's recovery along with how he got involved with the AIDS crisis is all in his best-selling book Love Is the Cure: On Life, Loss and the End of AIDS that happened to come out in paperback the same day as this concert (November 27, 2013).
When Elton played Union, he said "This is from the album I made with my hero Leon Russell."
The rest of the set list went like this:
I Guess that's why they call it the BluesThe OneOceans Away from his new album The Diving BoardSomeone Saved my Life TonightSad Songs (Say so much)All the Young Girls Love AliceHome AgainDon't Let the Sun Go Down on MeThe Bitch is BackI'm still StandingYour sister can't twistSaturday Night's alright for Fightin'Your SongCrocodile Rock

A segmentation fault means that there is a bug in the program. Check that you have the latest version of the program, and, if you have the latest version, submit a bug report to the developer team. They can probably help you solve it.

don't worry about the yahoo produced binary. I hear it isn't that good anyway. Check out gaim (gaim.sf.net) that supports yahoo, msn, aim, gadu-gadu, jabber, etc. etc. etc.
I respectfully decline the invitation to join your delusion.

President Barack Obama dropped the bombshell recently that he is in full support of gay marriage. This is something that a sitting President has never done; taking a stance like that on such a controversial topic. It was likely a stance that he took in order to try and win the Presidency for another four years, but still, we applaud.
Bristol Palin felt the need to open her big yap about the decision by the President and when she did, stupid just kept falling out. She said on her website:
While it's great to listen to your kids' ideas, there's also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would've been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that's not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids' worldview.
In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren't younger, or perhaps today's press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.
Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would've been nice if the President would've been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.
Okay so kids deserve a mother/father household in shaping their worldview? Seriously? She's a single mother whose son barely gets to see his father. Who's shaping his worldview?

At the urging of the AICPA and other groups, the IRS issued Notice 2003-75, which created a simplified reporting regime for U.S. citizens and resident aliens holding interests in Canadian registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) and registered retirement income funds (RRIFs), and the custodians of these accounts. [ See AICPA's June 2003 comments.] According to our Form 3520 Task Force, these new rules represent a significant improvement over the prior rules. Effective for 2003, the new reporting regime allows individuals to meet reporting requirements by relying on information already available.
Until a new 1040-related form is created for the holders of RRSP and RRIF interests, beneficiaries who elect to defer U.S. income taxation under Rev. Proc. 2002-23, 2002-1 C.B. 744, must (1) attach a copy of that election to their returns; (2) indicate the year-end plan balance; and (3) report any plan distributions. Beneficiaries not making the election to defer RRSP/RRIF income and RRSP/RRIF annuitants must report (1) the name and address of the custodian and account number of each RRSP/RRIF; (2) any contributions made during the year; and (3) the year end balance of the plans plus total distributed and undistributed income earned during the year.

News broke this week that 23-year-old game publisher THQ, along with all of its unsold studios, is no more. The company has played a key role in the industry since it acquired Prince of Persia and Carmen Sandiego publisher Brøderbund's New Ventures video-game division for an undisclosed sum in September 1990 (although neither of those titles went to THQ—rather, they got a bunch of NES hits and misses).
While other sites rally to piece together memories of THQ's best and worst moments, or write about what killed the once-big publisher, I thought we could take a different tack and look at how THQ's image and marketing evolved over the years. Here's a history of THQ's logos and branding, contextualized around some of its key games and decisions.
Originally called Toy Headquarters, or T*HQ, Inc., the company was founded in April 1990 by Jack Friedman, the former president of LJN Toys Inc., with $1 million of his own money. The California company planned to produce dolls, action figures, board games, and electronic games—all licensed from entertainment companies.
Early efforts included Peter Pan board games and action figures, and a horribly-conceived, I-can't-believe-this-thing-exists Vanilla Ice action figure that cost $150,000 (in 1991 money) to license. Their modus operandi was finding a trend or personality with mass appeal and licensing it as early and as cheaply as possibly—an approach they no doubt hoped would maximize returns and minimize losses on the hits and misses.
This method was backed by big money, thanks to a merger between T*HQ and Trinity Acquisition Corporation—a publicly-traded company formed to raise capital for some unknown/unrealized ventures.
Video-game licenses from Nintendo, 20th Century Fox, and Where's Waldo? (aka Where's Wally?) creator Martin Handford proved fruitful, with the 16-person company achieving $33 million in sales for its first full year of business. T*HQ soon dropped the toys entirely, focusing on the more lucrative game business.
T*HQ slapped its logo on the box and in the manual right from the beginning, as you can see in the Home Alone box art, but in-game you were treated only to a copyright disclaimer to indicate the company's role in making the forgettable arcade-style action title.
This gave way to a static logo on game startup in Wayne's World and Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates, with a simple "T*HQ, Inc." or "T*HQ Software" presents. There was absolutely no consistency—each game was different. It seemed T*HQ didn't know how to present itself in the video-game world...or maybe there was just no oversight.
By the time Ren & Stimpy: Time Warp dropped in 1994, T*HQ had its logo appearing in animated sequences at the start of each game. The Let's Play video below shows the Nickelodeon and T*HQ logos getting pushed into frame by the titular foul-mouthed cat and dog. The image above that, meanwhile, comes from the prior Ren & Stimpy game, The Ren & Stimpy Show: Veediots!, where the two dance beneath a static, sterile logo.
More significant than the relatively-flashy animation, though, was the fact that T*HQ's new logo had dropped the sterile "Toy Headquarters" in favor of a more streamlined look with white letters starkly contrasted to the solid blocks of black and red. A white border and a light shadowing effect gave it a dynamic quality, too, as if it were jutting out of the screen.
It was a product of its time, this mid-90s logo—positioned to seem just edgy and cool enough for the Sega kids while remaining friendly and approachable for the approval of Nintendo parents and corporate enough to be taken seriously by license holders. It also appeared in a 3D variant, tilt-shifted in the style of the 20th Century Fox logo, although Closing Logos mentions just three games that featured this twist on the formula.
T*HQ wasn't always making games for the latest and greatest systems. Its licensed games sold much better on the Genesis than Super Nintendo, and as 32-bit consoles emerged it carved out a niche with the licenses for handheld and 16-bit systems.
The asterisk disappeared in 1997, as THQ began refining its image as a major game publisher (still entirely focused on licensed titles). The move coincided with—and was probably due to—the company reincorporating in Delaware (having previously been incorporated in New York). Meanwhile, the company netted huge profits from Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation hits WCW vs nWo: World Tour and WCW vs the World.
The "Inc." then dropped from the THQ logo in 1998, as the company increased its output across licensed movie titles, wrestling games, handheld versions of big-money console licenses, and now also bowling, fishing, and motocross.
THQ made big moves at the end of the 90s. It founded a new subsidiary in Melbourne, Australia, primarily for handling distribution in the land downunder, and bought Descent: FreeSpace developer Volition for a pretty penny (around $20 million). THQ then announced that it would be a major partner with Microsoft on the Xbox console, and made moves to catch up to industry giant Electronic Arts.
Oh, and there was a new logo too. THQ was a company on the move, and what better way to illustrate this than with a logo that's in such a hurry to get where it's going it's leaning forward. The slanted logo looks like its forerunner stretched to twice its width. It clearly signalled THQ's intent to slide in on EA's territory.
(As an aside, it's interesting to note that in mid-2001 rumors floated around the tech sector that THQ might buy Activision or Interplay, or that "a multimedia or entertainment giant" might buy THQ or one of its chief competitors—EA, Activision, Take-Two Interactive. How different the industry might be today if any of these had transpired in the early part of last decade.)
In games it appeared with a whoosh sound and an announcer calling out the letters in a way that seemed to my ears to be aping the EA Sports logo. It varied between glossy and non-glossy, with slick animations on any systems that could handle gratuitous use of compressed video and lighting effects. Sometimes the THQ website address faded in beneath the logo, too—a sign of the increasing importance of the Internet to brand awareness.
Officially, the logo stood unchanged for eleven years—from 2000 to 2011. But its portrayal in games and advertising evolved and varied from one title to the next. The blue flashing, slick electric number in the video below was used in many PSP games—presumably because that was branded as an "edgy" handheld for hipsters and too-cool-for-Game-Boys teenagers. Nothing's edgier than whooshing sounds, blue light, and shiny things, right?
Soon it was normal for games to showcase the logo in flashy or boring animations, always fitting vaguely with the theme—SpongeBob Squarepants had the logo float upward underwater, WALL-E gave it the TRON treatment, Metro 2033 dirtied it in a metallic-futuristic fashion, and Ratatouille put the logo on a board that nearly falls on lead character Remy.
THQ had a reputation for shoddy licensed games and ports, but as the decade wore on this began to slip. THQ-published kids' games improved in quality and ratings, while continuing to sell in crazy-big numbers, and the "core" offerings drifted away from just licenses into (mostly) well-rated original IP—thanks to the talented folks at Volition, Relic, Vigil, Kaos, and Blue Tongue. The company published and developed games for everyone.
But no amount of creative manipulation could make the aging logo fit with the image THQ was increasingly trying to foster. On January 12, 2011, THQ unveiled what would prove to be its final logo. The bold, sophisticated look was meant to "epitomize the change, innovation, and creative growth that are the cornerstones of the new THQ," said THQ President and CEO Brian Farrell in an official statement at the time.
THQ had turned a new leaf. It didn't want to speed and slide into top spot in the industry; THQ planned to grow and redefine itself as a leading innovator in an increasingly conservative industry. It needed to differentiate itself from Activision and EA, mostly, but also to get away from the world of licensed games—which had turned almost overnight from guaranteed money printing to dead on arrival (the reasons for this would make a great feature all on their own, but suffice to say it's because of the glut of crapware on the Nintendo Wii).
From a design standpoint, there's a fascinating contrast between the curved, bright red Q and the hard, dark lines of the T and backward-lowercase h, all set on a plain white background. Why is the Q red, though, rather than the T or H?
The new logo made its first in-game appearance in first-person-shooter Homefront in March 2011. Unlike previous THQ logos, this one was standardized across all products—only changing color for Red Faction (it may be, of course, that it was just too soon for wild experimentation with presentation of the logo). Internal studios had their sub-names in small type beneath the "TH" and the white background would occasionally be switched out for black, but THQ's final logo was ironically its least creatively-employed since the company entered the world of video games in the early 90s as a strictly licensed-crapware publisher.
THQ died for many reasons. The Global Financial Crisis hurt the company badly, as did the high-profile uDraw disaster. The continuing struggle of the US dollar is surely a major factor, too, although the collapse of the market for children's licensed games probably did more damage—not only through losing a reliable income source, but also because THQ pivoted into the very market that derided it for producing low-quality cash-ins (a reputation that was no longer deserved at that point).
The loss is tragic—for the huge number of employees and their families affected, for the fall of another big publisher with the money to chase AAA ideas, for the legal complications that will make preserving and continuing the IP and games that weren't sold in the post-bankruptcy auction, and for the simple fact that the people in charge were trying to push out innovative and high-quality games.
In the end, THQ was too slow. Its branding lagged behind its internal goals and external needs. Its logo—a symbol of internal culture, ideas, and the company's public-facing image—changed too late in the game, much like THQ's business model.

At Visible Changes Salon & Day Spa, clients can address all their aesthetic needs with services ranging from mani-pedis to eyelash and hair extensions. Friendly stylists skillfully snip and style locks using high-quality products from Pureology and Coppola. Some of the stylists have 30 years of experience with color and cuts, and can deftly clip styles ranging from trendy to classic to Jetsons?esque. Elsewhere in the spacious, 5,700-square-foot facility, numerous treatment rooms beautify guests and cancel out stress with private tanning rooms, airbrush spray tans, threading, massages, and anti-aging facials.
Suntrenz spans two floors, both of which are dedicated to making clients look their best by imparting them with a healthy-looking glow. The studio's roster of equipment includes UV tanning beds and booths from manufacturers such as Lotus and GardaSun, plus an airbrush unit that gently mists a bronzing solution and emits an adorable purring sound. Suntrenz's team also extends to massage therapists and medical technicians experienced in Botox.
The treatment experts at Radiance personalize each of their skincare indulgences in a serene retreat. Cleanse and purify overstressed pores with your choice of soothing facials customized with anti-wrinkle additions, visage-loving vitamins, and glow-goading oxygen. A quick pick me up recharges your radiance in record time so that the time-crunched can get back to their dust cloud of fighting cartoon characters ($70). A just for men facial is specifically designed to clear the boyish barnacles off dudely dermises ($85), and the deep cleansing back facial heals back blemishes and anterior acne ($80). Those with more mature masks may opt for the microdermabrasion treatment, which uses pharmaceutical-grade diamond chips to gently sandblast away fine lines and blemishes and erase the signs of aging. Both opulent options include a complimentary paraffin hand wax treatment to soften skin and relax overly thumb-wrestled digits.
When the sky is cloudy or filled with locusts, clients duck into Electric Beach to bronze their bodies with the glowing bulbs of Dr. Mueller beds. The beds come in high-, medium-, and low-pressure models, and their strengths range from less than 1% emitted UVB rays to 5% emitted UVB rays. Alternatively, the Magic Tan booth uses 37 spray nozzles to mist the body with an even coat of color in less than a minute.
In 2001, the first iTAN Sun Spray Spa opened its doors. It had a simple goal—to make clients feel and look lovely with professional tanning services. Today, the spa has more than 30 Southern California franchises, each offering a slightly different assortment of teeth whitening, tanning beds, spray-tanning booths, and self-serve spa offerings.
The Smart Tan–certified staff prioritizes keeping up with tanning technology by stocking state-of-the-art tanning beds such as the Sun Angel, which uses sensors to customize a blend of UVA and UVB rays, practically eliminating overexposure. Many beds come equipped with stereo sound systems, misters, and fans. Just down the hall from these beauty gadgets, Mystic and airbrush machines bronze limbs without UV rays, and self-administered spa treatments dispense relaxing red-light facials, infrared-heat bodywraps, and aqua massages.
The wattage on Tan Line Salon's beds goes up to 20,000. Its five levels of beds begin at Level 1, which offers 20- and 10-minute tans. From there, the beds progress to include more than 10 units including Level 3 and 4 Ergoline Avant Garde beds and a Level 5 Omega high-pressure bed. They also offer sunless airbrush tans and facilitate bronze boosts with myriad products, such as accelerators and bronzers from brands such as Supre and Designer Skin.

What exactly does "specimen plants" mean? |
For the shrub category, Dendromecon Harfordii is a nice choice. I won one about 10 years ago in a drawing. Didn't know where to plant it, so I stuck it out in the middle of my backyard. It's now as large as a midsize sedan. It has silvery green leaves and produces yellow fragrant blooms that are similar in shape to California poppies. Bloom is heaviest in Spring but it flowers most of the year. All I have to do to it is look at it. I never water it. I suspect it may get some benefit from a slow soaker I have on my Crape Myrtles about 8 feet away. An aromatic choice is Cleveland Sage. It's my favorite filler for dry borders. It's a hummingbird magnet.They are super fragrant after a rain. If you want a specimen plant that will eat your yard, Matilija Poppy is a gorgeous choice. Though it does need some water once mature, There is nothing like the grace of California Sycamore. They smell good too. It's name notwithstanding, Arizona Cypress is a Cal native that you can find in big box stores from time to time. Beautiful bluish foliage. It's happier with some water. Tecate Cypress is a recent introduction to my garden. It has airy gray green foliage. The jury is still out on it for me since it's not filled out yet but it seems happy with the water the Crape Myrtles get nearby though I do not directly water it. |

Socks a specimen plant is one that is so incredible that it can serve as a focal point for the garden on its own without needing to be massed or combined with other plants. |

Add a CommentThis is a very slick police drama,because it's BRAINWASHING us to think that a good black policeman doesn't need a gun to protect himself to make sure he can effectively do good police work period,BUT I DIGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best shows out there. All the characters are so intriguing and complex. I pretty much watched all three seasons in a row 'cause it is so good!
Who doesn't think Idris Elba is one of the sexiest men alive? That velvety London rasp just makes it all the better. That being said, i just couldn't get into this one. I wanted to (beLIEVE me i wanted to) but the pacing was off and seemed forced. The plot was a bit ridiculous. The acting was decent and i agree with the reviewer that said it's a shame they didn't stick with the main story line or the mysteries. The side storys are just downright bad and completely unbelievable. All that being said, i will probably revisit this series in the future, in case i missed something. And hey, even if it's bad i get to watch that sexy man!
Witty, dark and unpredictable--a good summation of the show and its titular hero, Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. Someone should go ahead and say this: how cool is it that in the role of the smart, charismatic cop, the star of this intriguing crime series is a black actor rather than yet another white guy? It's just a really nice change and the strapping, handsome, multi-talented and very British Idris Elba (who is also one of the show's Associate Producers) fits the role like a velvet glove. Elba gives the troubled yet dedicated John Luther warmth, intelligence and flinty humor, using his London accent, sexy grin, and soulful, very expressive brown eyes to great effect. Luther's strange bond and unnerving war of wills with implacable murderess Alice Morgan is a mind-bending joy to watch... but a word of warning: this program is NOT for kiddies or the squeamish. The atmosphere is nail-bitingly suspenseful and there are from time to time seriously violent and visceral shocks amid the plot twists. Still, if you're looking for a detective series that is gripping and offbeat, Luther is the one to watch.
I really enjoyed this series. Such a different approach, and how could you not LOVE that accent? He really steals the show. You just have to watch it. It's not like anything else!!!
Set in London the first series of Luther is an intense and action packed crime drama following the personal life and investigations of DCI John Luther. A newly formed Serious Crime Unit led by Luther and DCI Ian Reed investigate the high profile and horrendous crimes of sadistic killers. DCI Luther gets into the mind of these evil killers leaving psychological scars as well as little time to fix his broken marriage with Zoe. In the first case Luther is convinced that the brilliant PhD Alice Morgan killed her parents but he lacks the evidence to prove it. In an unexpected turn of events Luther develops an unusual relationship with Alice getting her help and advice in subsequent cases. DCI Luther is not a typical crime fighter as he tends to use unorthodox and dubious methods. The six episodes are violent and exciting thrillers ending with a dramatic conclusion.
I wanted to like Luther, but a lot of his behavior is just too violent to overlook and forgive. I don't quite understand the appeal, and couldn't watch all of it. Just not my cup of tea.
Add a NoticeViolence: Unnervingly real depictions of physical and psychological violence-- not for youngsters; sensitive adults be warned.
