The GM bankruptcy comes finally. Or the same story to be telling through out current world economy recession phase? But GM's bankruptcy, a world class automaker in past 70 year, is too big to be true. It signals the drastic change of world economy structure in following years. GM's bankruptcy proceedings may take much longer time to settle down than imagination. The question is "will the new GM competitive in global car market?" and yet to be verified. It seems still a long way to reach.
The next question is who will step forward firmly on stage? Will US auto industries resume its position as in the past 100 years? Will US manufacturing sector continue to shrinking?
A vague future of global economy and a vague US position on global manufacturing industries!!!
That is the 60 billion dollar question. This isn't a neat structured debt structure like Chrysler. The bond holders are many both large and small. I've been trying to find info on this myself. Until the bankruptcy filing is complete, I guess no one will know for sure.
Please get your facts right. GM went to the Government asking for money. As any major share holder in a company the Government (who is representing me, the tax payer) can call the shots on what is best for share holders. Getting rid of Rick Wagoner (a finance guy, never a car guy) who ousted Stemple, the last of the car guys, was the first good move. Then forcing the reduction in costs (manpower, dealerships, brands etc.) was the next good move. When GM comes back leaner and starts making money, most people will think that all this was good for America.
The problem today is that if you sit comfortably in Detroit (private jets) or Wall Street (guaranteed bonuses) or the House of Commons ( fully-licenced stealing) you get complacent and think that pure inertia will drive tomorrow....these fat cats dont think...or realise that we can read.
Former GM and Chrysler corporate bondholders are a collection of offshore hedge funds and offshore private equity fund speculators with no loyalty or identity.............they are vermin parasites and vultures looking for a quick kill.
The frozen banks and pension funds are buried deep in debt saved by the government..just in time..with taxpayers money for the next 20 years. American capitalism has placed their industry on the chopping block for terminal decline.
Exactly who are the major GM bondholders?
GM should be allowed to pursue the Constitutional Bankruptcy without the intrusion of the Government who persist on sitting on both sides of the table to protect the unions and the money the Dem party will politcally reap.
What has happened to the rule of law?
Reckless, unfettered greed & unbridled hubris, combined with sloth, ineptitude & short-sightedness of the Auto-workers, their Unions & Management, for decades on end, all contributed to the crash of the American auto industry.
They have only themselves to blame for their self-destructive arrogance. All these long years, they refused to acknowledge the grim writing on their pompous (auto)walls, blinded as they were by their irrational pride & belligerance.
Now it's time to pay the price of their monumental imbecility.
Judgement Day has arrived...
GM, 40 years ago Congress was holding hearings to see if it was a monopoly. Today its lurching toward Bankruptcy, it has avoided this so far. Because 2 presidents have dumped money into it. How the mighty have fallen. During flush times it gave into too many demands, By a union that took too much, it gave excessive bonus and to high of pay to its execs. Somewhere they forgot exactly why GM was even created. GM and its current state is the result of many years of incredibly bad leadership.
Duvde1, you make a good point. The bond holders are not the monster here. They are bystanders who find themselves in a twisted game of musical chairs that has lasted since the late 1980s.
The bond holders in the Chrysler deal were a different animal. They were larger in size and simpler in complexity. They were mostly large banks and hedge funds. It was a privately owned company that a common investors could not assess, let alone many analysts.
The bond holders in GM are many with most being small and others quite large will mean a messy bankruptcy proceeding. The issue here is that many who invested in GM bonds did so over the long run when initially, GM was a blue chip company whose proceeds were a good investment. That is no longer the case. GM is no longer a blue chip company nor is it investment grade nor has it been for a couple of decades. It is the responsibility of the investor to retain or sell their issues depending on the prospects of that security and their risk preferences. The prospects of companies change over time. To hide behind the veil of ignorance is no excuse.
It is imperatve that they be given fair hearing through the legal process where chances are they may receive a better deal. Simultaneously, the rights of all debt holders must be balanced against the opportunity costs of capital when it is not in use for the sake of their best interests as well as the entire economy. This is indeed a messy situation when many investors with a say require time when time is a costly factor.
20:00 GMT 27 May 2009 Berlin Germany:
American GM senior executive:
"We need 400 million dollars to keep OPEL running...now".
Reply by German Finance Minister Steinbrucker: GET LOST!
NOTE: To Americans....Germans are not that stupid...unlike the British who sell anything at the lowest price. Like national assets....WATER ELECTRICITY and all their airports.
TONY WOODLEY the British union leader has been denied access to Lord Mandelson the British government "Business Secretary".
The British government never liked the British car industry.....the British Leyland syndrome?
GM bondholders can make more money if GM goes bust because they have credit default swaps insurance.
Americans no longer care if GM goes bust.
The plight of OPEL is even more serious.
GM has used all the intellectual property rights of the German subsidiary as collateral against US government loans.
All OPEL auto plants have been mortgaged to GE Capital USA.
GM wants 5 billion from the German government to buy OPEL.............a company that is now a shell..a dummy company.
OPEL no longer exists as a company....it does not even own the designs of its own cars....its worthless.
Meanwhile Lord Mandelson of Foy promises hot air to save Vauxhall.............at least he is consistent as Jaguar disappears.
All over the papers they present GM bond holders as some kind of the monsters who make GM to go into bankruptsy.
Everybody make cuts. All the employees will take a cut to their paycheck! Instead of $70 of compensation per hour they will be satisfied with a bit more than $50. The retirees are even ready to pay (of course partially) for thier healthcare. And the government is even ready to put some money to help keep the status quo (and all what they ask is only some pitifull 80% of the company)
On the other hand these horrible bond holders, who helped the company exist for the last couple of decades and lent it 170B to run its business are now refusing an offer to settle the debt. Horrible, horrible bond holders.
And the offer sounds fair. For each 100k in debt that pays like 6% of income a rich and horrible bond holder will get a beatifull 25k of great GM stock (which is collapsing everyday by another 10%, but who cares)
Horrible, horrible bond holders.
I know one guy who has all his income (except his Social Security) come from GM bonds that his mom got him like 10 years ago. Total of 125k paying him $500/month.
Now he gets this letter from GM asking him to exchange his bonds for 35k in GM stock that pays no divident and totally useless for him.
I have a question: Why does he looks like monster when you read newspapers?
I find the title of this article misleading. As I remember it, if it weren't for the government loans paid out from December of last year on to now, GM would have been forced to file for bankruptcy during the worst part of the recent downturn. It has been given almost half a year in extension loans to restructure. In that time, investors have had sufficient time and data to make decisions as to whether they should risk selling their stakes in GM or to take a chance through negotiations and potential bankruptcy proceedings.
Risk and reward are two way streets. This one was a long and bumpy one which heads off a cliff. Did anyone else see the signs?
So Sad, So sooo Sad !
This period will be remembered as the time when the worst faces of capitalism, finance, labor, plus lack of / failure of regulation) rudely came together in a perfect storm. Most of all this demonstrates that our system of government needs to be fixed. After 230 years, the US experiment in government is now an abject failure.
GM was once the biggest company in the US. Now it is Wallmarkt, which mainly provides low-paid jobs and imports more than 70% from China. Bye, bye American dream.
Having owned several GM vehicles, I read this paper's 1989 article with a certain wistfulness:
A very prescient article, and in timing only off by a few years. I remember when GM controlled roughly half the American auto market, and its existence and predominance in American culture a given. I also recall the many dreadful autos issued by American manufacturers in the 1970's. Some of the foreign brands rather bad, as well.
So a pleasure to witness a renaissance of sorts and a steady improvement in design and quality across the board. But as time passed it became more evident that if the products of American manufacturers more or less steadily improved, that of their foreign counterparts, particularly the Japanese, usually better. There are examples, such as the Chevrolet Corvette, which in performance, quality and value are world class, the leader in the segment. But this the rare exception, with most usually new vehicles of marked improvement, but also plainly no better than second best in comparison to the competition. Hardly a recipe for success, and one repeated year after year, decade after decade.
GM is precisely in the pickle it now in because I have since discovered and adopted a better product in a foreign brand, myself not alone in this, and with no reason to seriously consider switching back. What once was good for GM was good for America, but this nation in too many instances reflects the blind hubris of this once storied corporation in believing it is necessarily entitled to anything, or that this may not vanish.
If GM cannot pay its debts and/or the market price of its debt falls, it would be best to freeze (under whatever law applies) its liabilities-bonds, bank loans, supplier credit- (keeping them alive) and fund from central government its reduced manufacturing until the recession is over. In a few years things may be better, and with lower costs and growing sales, GM will still be there. This has been the way in smaller economies like Latin America, and the IMF is aware of such policies. Something tells me that a scramble to hack up the corpse of GM is not what anyone wants. What we want is TIME and CARE and PATIENCE.

Oakland Airport area dinner
- 10
- Follow
10 to 15 minute drive max - don't want to go back to downtown Oakland or Fruitvale. Casual to mid-range - any suggestions welcome. I have no idea what is around San Leandro, etc. Thanks.
We truly enjoyed a meal prior to flying out of Oakland Airport.
See their web site at
The lasagna was excellent.-----
8520 Pardee Dr, Oakland, CA 946210 -
Alameda's Park St. has a lot of options:
There are a bunch of Vietnamese and Mexican dives scattered in strip malls in San Leandro's industrial district, e.g. Tu Tai (mostly phở), though I'm not sure many of them are open for dinner. La Piiñata is decent though service can be slow. Ditto for Sweet Fingers (Jamaican). The Korean place on Davis St. (no longer connected with Ohgane but to my knowledge the ownership has not changed) is good, pretty much all Koreans.

re: Robert Lauriston
The handful of places on Hegenberger are the only places that are really near the airport. Francesco's is old-school Italian and as Bruce suggested, might be good for things baked pasta dishes. Anyplace else is a drive, and really all about the same whether it's Oakland, San Leandro or Alameda, although to get to Alameda you don't have to get on the freeway, which is a plus in my book. Alameda is your best bet if you want to edge up more towards "mid-range." I'm not sure what you mean by "back" to downtown Oakland -- back from where? Where are you coming from/going?
There have been plenty of discussions about where to eat near the airport, which are now displaying at the bottom of the page.

re: Robert Lauriston
I gave them a choice of the aforementioned, along with Francesco's. They chose the Korean BBQ. We all got bim bi bap. It was ok, and fine for a quick inexpensive meal. Didn't compare to Bowl'd, but it was fine. And, it fit the bill for the occasion. We were the only Caucasians in the place.
1479 Solano Ave, Albany, CA 947060
You might like Angel Fish, which is in the Bay Farm/Harbor Bay part of Alameda and very close to the airport. The food is good and the menu has enough variety that a non-sushi eater can be pleased, too.

Film is moving, poetic idyll of the effect of the [Second World] war on two moppets. It contrasts the world of two youngsters to the ransacked world created by their elders.
Story starts with the French exodus during the war. In the midst of a strafing by the enemy, a little girl's parents and her dog are killed. She is picked up by a little farm boy who takes her home with him. In burying the dog they decide to make a little cemetery for animals. This leads to bloodshed between two feuding farm families. The relationship of the children is well sustained throughout and though child psychology is strained in spots, it gives a touching counterpoint to the vapid meanderings of the adults. The kids are finally separated when the law claims the little orphan. Rene Clement's direction is excellent. Moppets Brigitte Fossey and Georges Poujouly are brilliantly handled and give an air of spontaneity to their roles. Lensing is a bit flat but editing is a fine asset. Adult roles are good with Lucien Hubert as the exasperated father a standout. 1952: Best Foreign Language FilmLes Jeux Interdits

Lionfish typically are found in caves and crevices of the reef.
Average adult size:
Adults can grow to be 1 1/2 feet long.
Natural history:
Lionfish are beautiful and deadly. Their feather-like rays are brightly-colored and tipped with strong venom. Lionfish are secretive, hiding under ledges and in caves during the day. They are nocturnal predators, actively feeding at night. Lionfish feed on crabs, shrimps and mainly small fishes. A sting from a lionfish is extremely painful, and doctors recommend soaking the limb in very hot water. Lionfish are popular aquarium pets. They are collected and sent all over the world, as part of the lucrative and destructive aquarium trade.

I applied in-person. The process took a day – interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton in January 2015.
Interview DetailsJob fair setting in hotel; each company had individual hotel rooms. Sign up was easy and recruiters very friendly and interested. Society of American Military Engineers sponsored the job fair; free to active and retired military. Shoes up about 5 min early to interview and greeted by recruiter on time. Watched my posture and unbuttoned suit jacket while sitting. Always made good eye contact and spoke deliberately and not too quickly. Tried to relax by reminding myself to be me and not someone else. I had decent discussion with recruiter about several possibilities but did come across desperate or committal since I was using the interview mainly for practice. I achieved my goal but not expecting a follow up from them and that's okay.

I applied through other source. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton.
Interview DetailsI received an unsolicited phone call from an employee who found my resume through membership to a professional society. I was brought into an interview and they asked me 3 questions about experience and resume, then they asked me if I was willing to learn new techniques and methods for analysis, and then they asked me if I had any ethical issues with doing DOD work. Then we spend the rest of the interview talking about hobbies and interests outside of work.
Interview Questions- I think the unexpected question was about whether or not I had ethical issues with DOD work. It surprised me that that they cared, but later I found out that they ask because due to the nature of the work, they did not want us to have any personal issues with the work that we did and would have placed in work that didn't keep me up at night.

Interview DetailsI was referred by an employee. About 24 hours after sending me resume, to a friend, I received a phone call from a recruiter from the company. The recruiter set up an interview with a project team. I interviewed with 3 team members at once, and heard back within a few days that I had an offer of employment.

Application DetailsI applied through other source. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton.
Interview DetailsI interviewed for a position based on a referral from the company being supported by the Booz Allen Hamilton contract vehicle. Because of the referral, I was able to bypass the initial HR screening, which simplified the process. I received a call from a Booz Allen Principal asking if I was interested in the position and subsequently got a call from their Recruiting section to be screened for qualifications and to determine how my background measured up against the job requirements. Most of the screening was straightforward, but I was surprised at how persistent the screener was in trying to determine my expected salary range. After screening, I was scheduled for an interview with three Senior Associates and one Principal. I found the instructions they sent prior to the interview to be helpful in preparing, especially since they sent me the names of the interviewers, which allowed me to research their backgrounds ahead of time. My interview started promptly on time and the only thing I was surprised by was that it was four separate interviews vice a panel interview. That worked out well, though, and made for a more relaxed experience. There was some overlap between questions, but each had a different area they wanted to explore. One focused on how I would fit in the Booz Allen culture, another focused on expectations of an associate, the third focused on my qualifications for the position, and the fourth focused on how I would perform in the particular job and how I would fit in the supported organization. Overall, a smooth, pleasant experience.
Interview Questions- The only question that caught me slightly off guard was "What do you think is the most important thing you will need to succeed at Booz Allen?" I thought the interviewer was looking for what particular trait or skill I would bring to the company, but instead it was a Booz Allen cultural question. View Answer

Recommend that you volunteer information about your experience that you think is relevant, because they didn't ask for it. Finding out the results of the interview was like pulling teeth.Interview Questions- Every question was technical oriented, but not one about previous job experience. It is apparent that the interviewer was working off a check-list, with no effort to "personalize" the process. I could have been dressed like a Somali pirate and armed with an AK-47, as long as I said "yes" to having working knowledge of specific software apps and databases. This is how Eric Snowden got his job. Answer Question

Annie Lennox, OBE (born 25 December 1954), born Ann Lennox, is a Scottish singer-songwriter, political activist and philanthropist. After achieving moderate success in the late 1970s as part of the new wave band The Tourists, she and fellow musician Dave Stewart went on to achieve major international success in the 1980s as Eurythmics. Lennox is the most recognised female artist at the Brit Awards, winning a total of eight awards, including Best British Female Artist six times. She has also been named the "Brits Champion of Champions".[1]
Lennox embarked on a solo career in 1992 with her debut album, Diva, which produced several hit singles including "Why" and "Walking on Broken Glass". To date, she has released six solo studio albums and a compilation album, The Annie Lennox Collection (2009). Aside from her eight Brit Awards, she has also collected four Grammy Awards and an MTV Video Music Award. In 2002, Lennox received a Billboard Century Award; the highest accolade from Billboard Magazine.[2] In 2004, she won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West", written for the soundtrack to the feature film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
In addition to her career as a musician, Lennox is also a political and social activist, notable for raising money and awareness for HIV/ AIDS as it affects women and children in Africa. In 2011, Lennox was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II for her "tireless charity campaigns and championing of humanitarian causes". On 4 June 2012 she performed at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert in front of Buckingham Palace. Lennox performed the song "Little Bird" during the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in London on 12 August 2012.
Lennox has been named "The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive" by VH1 and one of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone.[3] In 2012, she was rated No. 22 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music.[4] She has earned the distinction of "most successful female British artist in UK music history" due to her commercial success since the early 1980s. As of June 2008[update], including her work within Eurythmics, Lennox had sold over 80 million records worldwide.[5]
Annie Lennox was born on Christmas Day 1954 in Summerfield Maternity hospital, Aberdeen, the daughter of Dorothy (née Ferguson) and Thomas Allison Lennox.[6]
In the 1970s, Lennox won a place at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she studied the flute, piano and harpsichord for three years. She lived on a student grant and worked at part-time jobs for extra money. Lennox was unhappy during her time at the Royal Academy and spent her time wondering what other direction she could take.[7]
Lennox's flute teacher's final report stated: "Ann has not always been sure of where to direct her efforts, though lately she has been more committed. She is very, very able, however." Two years later, Lennox reported to the Academy: "I have had to work as a waitress, barmaid, and shop assistant to keep me when not in musical work." She also played and sang with a few bands, such as Windsong, during the period of her course. In 2006, the academy made her an honorary Fellow.[8] Lennox also was made a Fellow of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama that year.[9]
In 1976, Lennox was flutist with a band called Dragon's Playground, leaving before they appeared on TV's New Faces.[10] Between 1977 and 1980, she was the lead singer of The Tourists (initially known as The Catch), a British pop band and her first collaboration with Dave Stewart.
Lennox and Stewart's second collaboration, the 1980s synthpop duo Eurythmics, resulted in her most notable fame, as the duo's alto, soul-tinged lead singer. Early in Eurythmics' career, Lennox was known for her androgyny,[11][12] wearing suits and once impersonating Elvis Presley. Eurythmics released a long line of singles in the 1980s, including "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" (number one US, number two UK), "Love Is A Stranger", "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves", "Who's That Girl?", "Would I Lie to You?", "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)", "Missionary Man", "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart", "Thorn in My Side", "The Miracle of Love" and "Don't Ask Me Why". Although the Eurythmics never officially disbanded, Lennox made a fairly clear break from Stewart in 1990. Thereafter, she began her solo career.[13]
Lennox and Stewart reconvened Eurythmics in the late 1990s with the album Peace, their first album of new material in ten years. A subsequent concert tour was completed, with profits going to Greenpeace and Amnesty International.[2]
Lennox has received eight Brit Awards, the most of any female artist.[14] Four of the awards were given during her time with Eurythmics, and another was given to the duo for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 1999.[15]
The 1988 single, "Put a Little Love in Your Heart", was a duet with Al Green recorded for the soundtrack of the movie Scrooged. Though it was produced by Dave Stewart, it was credited to Lennox and Green. This one-off single peaked at No. 2 on the US Adult Contemporary chart, No. 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was a top 40 hit in the UK.[16][17] Lennox performed the song "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye", a Cole Porter song, that same year for a cameo appearance in the Derek Jarman film Edward II. She then made an appearance with David Bowie and the surviving members of Queen at 1992's Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at London's Wembley Stadium, performing "Under Pressure".[18]
Lennox began working with former Trevor Horn protégé Stephen Lipson, beginning with her 1992 solo début album, Diva. It was a commercial and critical success, charting No. 1 in the UK, No. 6 in Germany, and No. 23 in the US where it went double platinum.[19][20] Lennox's profile was boosted by Diva's singles, which included "Why" and "Walking on Broken Glass". "Why" won an MTV Award for Best Female Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, while the video for "Walking on Broken Glass" set in the British Regency period, featured actors Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich.[21][22] "Little Bird" also formed a double A-side with "Love Song for a Vampire", a soundtrack cut for Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 movie Bram Stoker's Dracula.[23] The B-side of her single "Precious" was a self-penned song called "Step by Step", which was later a hit for Whitney Houston for the soundtrack of the film The Preacher's Wife.[23] The song "Keep Young and Beautiful" was included on the CD release as a bonus track (the original vinyl album had only ten tracks).
The album entered the UK album chart at no.1 and has since sold over 1.2 million copies in the UK alone, being certified quadruple platinum.[24] It was also a success in the US where it was a top 30 hit and has sold in excess of 2,700,000 copies.[19] In 1993, the album was included in Q magazine's list of the "50 Best Albums of 1992". Rolling Stone magazine (25 June 1992, p. 41) described the album as "...state-of-the-art soul pop..." and it is included in Rolling Stone's (13 May 1999, p. 56) "Essential Recordings of the 90's" list. The album won Best British Album at the 1993 Brit Awards.[25]
Although Lennox's profile decreased for a period because of her desire to bring up her two children outside of the media's glare, she continued to record. Her second album, Medusa, was released in March 1995. It consisted solely of cover songs, all originally recorded by male artists including Bob Marley, The Clash, and Neil Young. It entered the UK album chart at No. 1 and peaked in the US at number 11, spending 60 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and selling over 2,000,000 to date in the United States.[19] It has achieved double platinum status in both the UK and the US.[24][26] The album yielded four UK singles: "No More I Love You's" (which entered the UK singles chart at No. 2, Lennox's highest ever solo peak),[17] "A Whiter Shade of Pale", "Waiting in Vain" and "Something So Right". The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards of 1996,[27] losing to Turbulent Indigo by Joni Mitchell, however, Lennox won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the single "No More I Love You's".[28] Although Lennox declined to tour for the album, she did perform a large scale one-off concert in New York's Central Park, which was filmed and later released on home video.[29] Lennox provided an extensive solo vocal performance (without lyrics) for the soundtrack score of the film Apollo 13 in 1995.[30]
In 1997, Lennox re-recorded the Eurythmics track "Angel" for the Diana, Princess of Wales tribute album, and also recorded the song "Mama" for The Avengers soundtrack album. In 1998, following the death of a mutual friend (former Tourists member Peet Coombes), she re-united with Dave Stewart.[31] Following their first performance together in eight years at a record company party, Stewart and Lennox began writing and recording together for the first time since 1989. This resulted in the album Peace. The title was designed to reflect the duo's ongoing concern with global conflict and world peace. The record was promoted with a concert on the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior II, where they played a mixture of old and new songs. "I Saved the World Today" was the lead single, reaching number eleven on the UK singles chart.[32] Another single, released at the beginning of 2000, "17 Again", made the UK top 40, and topped the US dance chart.[33] In 2002, Lennox received a Billboard Century Award; the highest accolade from Billboard Magazine, with Editor-in-Chief Timothy White describing her as one of "the most original and unforgettably affecting artists in the modern annals of popular music."[2]
In 2003, Lennox released her third solo album, Bare. The album peaked at No. 3 in the UK and No. 4 in the US – her highest charting album in the US to date.[34] She embarked on her first tour as a solo artist to promote the album. The tour, simply titled Solo Tour, pre-dated the release of the album and visited both the US and Europe, with only a two-night stop in the UK at Saddler's Wells Theatre in London. The album has been certified Gold in both the UK and the US and was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 46th Grammy Awards.[35] The album was released with a DVD which included interviews and acoustic versions of songs by Lennox.[36]
In 2004, Lennox won the Academy Award for Best Song for "Into the West" from the film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,[37] which she co-wrote with screenwriter Fran Walsh and composer Howard Shore. Lennox performed the song live at the 76th Academy Awards. The song also won a Grammy award and a Golden Globe award. She had previously recorded "Use Well the Days" for the movie, which incorporates a number of quotations from Tolkien in its lyrics. This features on a bonus DVD included with the "special edition" of the movie's soundtrack CD. In mid-2004, Lennox embarked on an extensive North American tour with Sting.[2] In July 2005, Lennox performed at Live 8 in Hyde Park, London, along with Madonna, Sting, and other popular musicians.[38]
In 2005, Lennox and Stewart collaborated on two new songs for their Eurythmics compilation album, Ultimate Collection, of which "I've Got a Life" was released as a single in October 2005. The promotional video for the song features Lennox and Stewart performing in the present day, with images of past Eurythmics videos playing on television screens behind them. The single peaked at number fourteen in the UK Singles Chart and was a number-one US Dance hit.[16][17] On 14 November 2005, Sony BMG repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalogue as 2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues.[39] Lennox also collaborated with Herbie Hancock doing the song "Hush, Hush, Hush" on his collaboration album, Possibilities in August 2005.[40]
Ending her long association with Stephen Lipson, Lennox's fourth solo album, Songs of Mass Destruction, was recorded in Los Angeles with veteran producer Glen Ballard (known for producing Alanis Morissette's album, Jagged Little Pill). It was released on 1 October 2007, and was the last studio album of Lennox's contract with BMG. It peaked at No. 7 in the UK and No. 9 in the US.[16][17] Lennox stated that she believed the album consisted of "twelve strong, powerful, really emotive songs that people can connect to". If she achieves that, she says, "I can feel proud of [it], no matter if it sells ten copies or 50 million."[41] Lennox described it as "a dark album, but the world is a dark place. It's fraught, it's turbulent. Most people's lives are underscored with dramas of all kinds: there's ups, there's downs – the flickering candle."[42] She added, "Half the people are drinking or drugging themselves to numb it. A lot of people are in pain."[42]
The album's first single was "Dark Road", released on 24 September 2007. Another song on the album, "Sing", is a collaboration between Lennox and 23 prominent female artists: Anastacia, Isobel Campbell, Dido, Céline Dion, Melissa Etheridge, Fergie, Beth Gibbons, Faith Hill, Angelique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, Gladys Knight, k.d. lang, Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton, Pink, Kelis, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Shingai Shoniwa, Joss Stone, Sugababes, KT Tunstall, and Martha Wainwright. The song was recorded to raise money and awareness for the HIV/AIDS organisation Treatment Action Campaign.[43] Included among the group of vocalists are TAC activist members' own vocal group known as The Generics, whose CD of music inspired Lennox to make "Sing".[43]
To promote Songs of Mass Destruction, Lennox embarked on a primarily North American tour called Annie Lennox Sings, which lasted throughout October and November 2007.[44]
Finishing out her contract with Sony BMG, Lennox released the compilation album The Annie Lennox Collection. Initially intended for release in September 2008, the release date was pushed back several months to allow Lennox to recuperate from a back injury.[45] The compilation was eventually released in the US on 17 February 2009, and in the UK and Europe on 9 March 2009. Included on the track listing are songs from her four solo albums, one from the Bram Stoker's Dracula soundtrack, and two new songs. One of these is a cover of Ash's single, "Shining Light". The other is a cover of a song by the English band Keane, originally the B-side of their first single in 2000. Lennox renamed the song from its original title "Closer Now" to "Pattern of My Life". A limited 3-disc edition of the album included a DVD compilation featuring most of Lennox's solo videos since 1992, and also featured a second CD of rarer songs including a version of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" with Alicia Keys and Lennox's Oscar winning "Into the West" from the third Lord of the Rings film. The album entered the UK Album Chart at No. 2 and remained in the top 10 for seven weeks.[46]
Lennox's recording contract with Sony BMG concluded with the release of Songs of Mass Destruction and the subsequent retrospective album The Collection, and much was made in the press in late 2007/early 2008 about the apparent animosity between Lennox and the record company. Lennox stated that while on a trip to South Africa in December 2007 to appear at the 46664 campaign in Johannesburg, the regional company office of the label failed to return phone calls and e-mails she made to them for three weeks, and had completely failed to promote the Sing project as planned. Upon her return to the UK, Lennox met with the head of Sony BMG UK, Ged Docherty, who was "mortified" by the problems she had encountered with the South African branch. However, the debacle (partly inflamed when Lennox's dissatisfaction with the South African office was made public on her blog) led to press reports falsely stating that she was being dropped by Sony BMG. The record company themselves quickly refuted the rumour stating that Lennox's contract with them had merely been fulfilled and that they hoped she would consider remaining with them. The British tabloid, Daily Mirror, subsequently printed a retraction of its story about her being dropped by the label.[47]
In August 2010, Lennox signed a new contract with Island Records in the UK and Decca Records in the US (both part of the Universal Music Group).[48] Her first release was a Christmas album entitled A Christmas Cornucopia, issued on 15 November 2010. The album is a collection of Lennox's interpretations of traditional festive songs such as "Silent Night" and "The First Noel", along with one new composition, "Universal Child", which was released as a download-only single on 13 October 2010. Lennox had previously showcased the song on the American Idol Gives Back TV show in April 2010. She sang the song "Angels from the Realms of Glory" from the album for the TNT special Christmas in Washington.[49]
A music video was produced for a second single from the album, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Lennox also performed the track on the UK chat show Loose Women in December 2010, and was also interviewed.[50]
According to Metacritic, A Christmas Cornucopia has gained "generally favourable reviews".[51] Ian Wade of BBC Music gave the album a very positive review, saying "this collection could find itself becoming as much a part of the holiday season as arguments with loved ones."[52] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine awarded the album 3.5/5 and said "Lennox seems more inspired on A Christmas Cornucopia than she has in years."[53] John Hunt of Qatar Today magazine gave the album 9/10 and said "in particular, the vocal work and musical arrangement of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' are impactful to the point of being intimidating."[54]
On 4 June 2012 Lennox performed, as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert, in front of Buckingham Palace in London and on 12 August she performed "Little Bird" at the 2012 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony.[55]
In October 2014 Lennox released her sixth solo album Nostalgia.[56] The album is a collection of Lennox's childhood favourite soul, jazz and blues songs.[57] Critic Mike Wass of Idolator stated that Lennox "puts her own inimitable spin" on the selected tracks.[58] The lead single "I Put a Spell On You" received its first radio play on 15 September 2014 by Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2.[59]
Lennox appeared on stage at the 1988 Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Concert and commenced activist work with the Sing Foundation afterwards.[60] In 1990, Lennox recorded a version of Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" for the Cole Porter tribute album Red Hot + Blue, a benefit for AIDS awareness. A video was also produced.[61]
Lennox has been a public supporter of Amnesty International and Greenpeace for many years, and she and Dave Stewart donated all of the profits from Eurythmics' 1999 Peacetour to both charities.[62]
Concerned by Tibet freedom,[63] she supported Amnesty International campaigns for the release of Tibetan prisoners Palden Gyatso and Ngawang Choephel.[64]
In 2006, in response to her humanitarian work, Lennox became patron of the Master's Course in Humanitarian and Development Practice for Oxford Brookes University.[2] In October 2006, Lennox spoke at the British House of Commons about the need for children in the UK to help their counterparts in Africa.[2]
On 25 April 2007, Lennox performed "Bridge over Troubled Water" during the American Idol "Idol Gives Back" fundraising drive.[65]
Lennox's 2007 song "Sing" was born out of her involvement with Nelson Mandela's 46664 campaign and Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), both of which are human rights groups which seek education and health care for those affected by HIV.[2][43] In December 2007, Lennox established The SING Campaign, an organisation dedicated to raising funds and awareness for women and children affected by HIV and AIDS.[66]
On 11 December 2007, she performed in the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway together with a variety of artists, which was broadcast to over 100 countries.[67] Lennox appeared at the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Tribute in June 2008[68] and then led a rally against the Gaza War in London on 3 January 2009.[69]
Lennox opened the 2009 Edinburgh Festival of Politics with commentary on Pope Benedict XVI's approach to HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa. She said that the Pope's denunciation of condoms on his recent tour of Africa had caused "tremendous harm" and she criticised the Roman Catholic Church for causing widespread confusion on the continent. Lennox also condemned the media's obsession with "celebrity culture" for keeping the AIDS pandemic off the front page. During her address, Lennox wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "HIV positive". Lennox wore similar T-shirts at the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden on 30 October 2009,[70] during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show on 30 November 2009 (where she performed the new song "Full Steam", a duet with singer David Gray), during a recorded performance for American Idol during a 21 April 2010 fundraiser, entitled Idol Gives Back, and during a performance on the live Comic Relief show on 18 March 2011.
"She is one of those exemplary human beings who chose to put her success in her chosen career to work in order to benefit others. She is a true friend of Africa and of South Africa. Her Aids activism in general, and support for the treatment action campaign in-particular, contributed significantly to turning the pandemic around in our country."
In June 2010, Lennox was named as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for AIDS,[72] a role that continues as of August 2013. Lennox also works with other organisations such as Oxfam, Amnesty International and the British Red Cross in regard to the issue.[73] Lennox also supports the Burma Campaign UK, a non-governmental organisation that addresses the suffering in Burma and promotes democratisation.[74]
In December 2010, it was confirmed that Lennox was in the New Years Honours List and would become an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of her humanitarian work.[75] She received the award from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace on 28 June 2011.[76][77]
In November 2013, Lennox received the Music Industry Trusts Award for her career achievements in music and her charity commitments.[71] Elton John said of her award; "It is so well deserved and not only for your extraordinary contribution to music and songwriting but also for your outstanding and tireless work as an HIV and AIDS activist and supporter of woman's rights," while Adele stated; "Annie Lennox has been a constant part of my life. An example of a brilliant talent that exudes excellence and influence on everyone."[71]
Lennox has garnered a significant following within the LGBT community. According to The Advocate, "her distinctive voice and provocative stage persona have made Lennox a longtime gay icon."[78] With Eurythmics' music videos earning regular rotation on MTV in the 1980s, Lennox took part in the shaping of popular culture alongside other gay icons such as Boy George, Madonna, Morrissey, and Michael Stipe.[79]
In conjunction with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Lennox put many items from her collection—costumes, accessories, photographs, awards, ephemera from her political campaigns, and personal belongings—on display. This collection, which spanned her entire career, along with music videos and interviews, became The House of Annie Lennox at the V+A from 15 September 2011 to 26 February 2012.[80] An expanded version of the exhibit was later installed at The Lowry in Salford from 17 March 2012 to 17 June,[81][82] before moving to Aberdeen for twelve weeks.[83]
Both as part of Eurythmics and in her solo career, Lennox has made over 60 music promo videos. The 1987 Eurythmics album Savage and her 1992 solo album Diva were both accompanied by video albums, both directed by Sophie Muller.[84] Actors Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich appeared in the music video for "Walking on Broken Glass" in British Regency period costume, while the video for "Little Bird" paid homage to the different images and personas that have appeared in some of Lennox's previous videos.[22] The clip features Lennox performing on stage with several lookalikes (male and female) that represent her personas from "Why", "Walking on Broken Glass", "Sweet Dreams", "Beethoven", "I Need a Man", "Thorn in My Side", "There Must Be an Angel", and even her stage image from the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert.[85]
Lennox has been married three times. Her first marriage, from 1984 to 1985, was to German Hare Krishna devotee Radha Raman.[86] From 1988 to 2000, she was married to Israeli film and record producer Uri Fruchtmann.[87] The couple have two daughters, Lola and Tali. A son, Daniel, was stillborn in 1988.[88] On 15 September 2012, Lennox married South African gynaecologist Dr. Mitch Besser, in London in a private ceremony.
In September 2012, Lennox featured in Series 9 of the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are?, in which she discovered that her great-great-grandmother Jessie Fraser worked, at the age of 13, at the Broadford Flax Mill in Aberdeen. Her maternal grandmother, Dora Paton, was a dairy maid at the Balmoral Royal Estate and her maternal grandfather, William Ferguson, was a gamekeeper also at Balmoral, who on one occasion danced with the then queen consort of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.[89]
Both of Lennox's parents died of cancer.[7] Lennox describes herself as an agnostic.[90] In the 2010 Sunday Times Rich List of British millionaires from the world of music, Lennox was estimated to have a fortune of £30 million.[91]

I was a little disappointed in the earrings. I didn't like how they looked. I had expected a small dangle and no matter what I did they did not dangle.
Very pretty, Large earrings. Winter or summer. My 20 year old daughter Loves them too. I'm 45......
I love the earrings, but worry a little about the hooks breaking since they are so flimsy as well as the smaller sections of the wiring for the lower hanging beads. But, all in all, they are beautiful earrings and aren't uncomfortable to wear. A great piece to buy if you are looking for that "island girl" look.
Earrings are true to picture. I like them. There is a wire in the back that kind of holds everything together, but it still appears to be pretty sturdy.
I actually love this earrings. They are really pretty. They were larger than I thought they would be but I am glad. I am wearing this for my wedding and I wanted something a little larger since I am wearing my hair up and no vail. The only thing they could have improved is the back. All the pieces are connected by a sliver wire. I only hope by the way they hang that the back side won't be seen.
I returned them. They were so big and weighed a ton. Much cuter online than in person.
I really enjoy the hand made items. You can tell that a lot of care goes into each h piece. Matches perfectally to the choker.
I bought these earrings to match the above reviewed necklace and they are both a winner across the board.
It was simply too big for my taste...If you like bulky earrings this is for you.
The most beautiful craftsmanship went into these earrings I selected to purchase just by the picture displayed. I did not go wrong in my choice. To the craftsperson who did the excellent work on these earring, Thank you.

Commentary: Consensus or is it censorship?
The Environmental Protetion Agency has submitted a "finding" to the White House Office of Management and Budget that will force the Obama administration to decide whether to limit greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
