Ben's Two Loves
Ben's Two Loves
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
It's amazing what a difference a "Jennifer" makes. Just a few short years ago Ben was headed down the worst over exposed path he could have chosen. Now he is back on top of the world. With a hit movie like Hollywoodland and 2 beautiful women in his life Ben looks happier than ever. How cute is Ben while watching baby Violet while Jennifer gets ready as a bridesmaid in a friends wedding? The couple also never looked happier at the annual Children's Defense Fund's Awards where Jen also hung out with Reese and more.
Sorry folks - thanks for pointing out that Jen was kissing her co-star Greg who looked a lot like Affleck in the picture. We updated the image on the right but to see more of Ben at the event not looking like Greg, read more

They are so cute. I love those pics of Ben and Violet!! I adore Jen Garner. I think her smile could knock somebody over if she isn't careful. :D
8 years
they do look happy together but i wouldnt bet on anything, it is a Hollywood marriage afterall.
8 years
AWW. I love this woman and their daughter is insanely cute...This is one Hollywood family we can finally look up to.
8 years
jennifer lopez and the word mom just doesnt seem to fit together..i still think she's soo self aborbed to sacrifice her life to children/s.
8 years
yeah for the happy family! i love these guys. ben is looking like he is the happiest guy alive in that pix with violet. all together now; awwwwwwwwwwwww. :KISS:
8 years
I think Violet is the cutest baby in Hollywood! And Ben looks so much happier with Jennifer G. and at peace! He looked really stressed out with the J-Lo relationship. I'm happy for Ben.
8 years
I must confess I feel sorry for JLo. Even though she's kind of nasty and Affleck was totally different from her, she was head over heels in love with him, and I'm sure she only married Marc to get over Ben. It must be really painful for her to watch Ben so happy with Jennifer Garner and their baby.
8 years
i think that everytime he looks into violets face he's gratefull hes no longer in j-lo's web.
she's a black widow who ensnarles men in her web and when done with them..she gets rid of em.
shes too materialistic,to vain,to self important.
jennifer gardner has done wonders for ben..and violet is an added bonus treat.
8 years
funkypixie, that is Greg. When you look at other pics from the event you can see that Greg is wearing that suit. I was confused too!
8 years
they do look happy. but the guy she's hugging is that Ben or is that her alias costar Greg Grunberg. even the color of his shirt [grey] is different to the other photos [white].
8 years
I was so confused by the top pic on the right. I was thinking Ben looked a little odd, but then I realized that it was Greg Grunberg. HAHA!
8 years
Whilst I love him in his role as father I loathe him in all other roles. He rode on Matt D's coattails IMO.
He and Jen are too cute together though I hope their happiness lasts
8 years
Aww, very cute.
Now, not to burst anyone's bubble, but I don't think that's Ben's face in Jennifer's hands? Maybe her old "Felicity" co-star? The one who was always inventing things?
8 years
nothing is cuter to me than a daddy playing with his kids! not like, i-wanna-jump-you cute but like puppies & kitties cute.
they seem like a nice down-to-earth lil family!
i bet J.Lo is jelous as all hell...
8 years
Ben is a class act. I hope he will be back on the big screen soon making more great movie like Hollywoodland. He could endure and become one of the legends of Hollywood if he steers clean of overexposure and type-casting.

Karyotis, Georgios (2011) The fallacy of securitizing migration : elite rationality and unintended consequences. In: Security, Insecurity and Migration in Europe. Ashgate, Farnham, pp. 13-30. ISBN 9781409409205
PDF (Karyotis (2011) The Fallacy of Securitizing Migration) - Draft Version Download (594Kb) |
It has become commonplace to argue that migration is intimately linked to questions of security. Typically, the literature on the securitisation of migration approaches it as a 'top-down' process, where various political, societal and security elites present migration as an existential threat to fundamental values of society and/or the state. The implication is that the elites' decision to securitise is a rational one, often aimed, among others, at promoting their own political legitimacy, attracting resources and legitimising exceptional responses. The aim of this chapter is to question the rationality of elite action by highlighting the unintended consequences and hidden costs associated with securitisation. The chapter distances itself from normative calls for the desecuritisation of migration, as those, for instance, made by advocates of a human security approach. Instead, it offers a pragmatic account of how securitisation serves only short-term needs, while harming in the long-term other interests, including of those that supported the security discourse in the first place. The chapter investigates the fallacy of securitising migration, revealing that as a policy option it is more costly than often assumed.

You've probably played the game Operation with your friends and family, but when someone you care about is getting a real operation, it can be scary. An operation is also called surgery, and it's when doctors fix something inside the body to make the person feel better. The doctor may take out a burst appendix, close up a hole in the heart, or even put in a new kidney! The good part about surgery is that it usually means the person is on the road to feeling better.

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").

Georgia State Fossil
Georgia designated the shark tooth as the official state fossil in 1976. A fairly common fossil on the Georgia coastal plain, the fossilized shark tooth is prized by collectors. These prehistoric shark teeth are found in a range of colors - most common are black or gray, less common are the white, brown, blue, and reddish-brown teeth. Many types of sharks lived in prehistoric Georgia - the oldest teeth date back about 375 million years. One of the largest extinct species of shark tooth was Otodontidae Carcharocles megalodon (whose fossilized teeth are pictured here).

In your code, you have swapped both the near and far planes, and the view direction. Those two negates each other. If you use an orthographic projection with the same eye and target position, and same near and far planes, you will get an equivalent view of the scene. Only the vertical and horizontal scaling will be different, but that is a natural result of the fundamental differences between the two types of projections.
Hi, thanks for responding. The code for the projection is actually a copy of how glOrtho already works (see the glOrtho entry, paste the markup for the page into http://www.madogiwa.org/display-mathml/live.html to get the actual formulas (or use an mml client)). I'll guess Id only need to reverse the depth check to make it work,
but even then it doesn't seem to do the same thing as only using glOrtho without swapping the values. (Also, I read somewhere that only the far value should be negative)
(I'm still basically saying: I cannot replace glFrustrum with glOrtho and expect the same items showing (disregarding of the perspective vs parallel projection bit))
I have to change the eye position or the depth test.
At least, I haven't been able to make it just by changing the projection.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2012) |
An afterimage is a non-specific term that refers to an image continuing to appear in one's vision after the exposure to the original image has ceased. An afterimage may be a normal phenomenon (physiological afterimage) or may be pathological (palinopsia). Illusory palinopsia may be a pathological exaggeration of physiological afterimages.[1][2] The remainder of this article refers to physiological afterimages. A common physiological afterimage is the dim area that seems to float before one's eyes after briefly looking into a light source, such as a camera flash.
Negative afterimages are caused when the eye's photoreceptors, primarily known as rods and cones, adapt to overstimulation and lose sensitivity. Newer evidence suggests there is cortical contribution as well.[3] Normally, the overstimulating image is moved to a fresh area of the retina with small eye movements known as microsaccades. However, if the image is large or the eye remains too steady, these small movements are not enough to keep the image constantly moving to fresh parts of the retina. The photoreceptors that are constantly exposed to the same stimulus will eventually exhaust their supply of photopigment, resulting in a decrease in signal to the brain. This phenomenon can be seen when moving from a bright environment to a dim one, like walking indoors on a bright snowy day. These effects are accompanied by neural adaptations in the occipital lobe of the brain that function similar to color balance adjustments in photography. These adaptations attempt to keep vision consistent in dynamic lighting. Viewing a uniform background while these adaptations are still occurring will allow an individual to see the after image because localized areas of vision are still being processed by the brain using adaptations that are no longer needed.
"When all wavelengths stimulate the retinal region adapted to green light, the M and L cones contribute less to the resulting percept because their photopigments absorb less light than the S cones. Thus, trichromatic theory can not explain all afterimage phenomena, indicating the need for an opponent-process theory such as that articulated by Ewald Hering (1878) and further developed by Hurvich and Jameson (1957). Afterimages are the complementary hue of the adapting stimulus and trichromatic theory fails to account for this fact." (David T. Horner, Demonstrations of Color Perception and the Importance of Contours, Handbook for Teaching Introductory Psychology, Volume 2, page 217. Psychology Press, Texas, 2000)[4]
Ewald Hering explained how the brain sees afterimages, in terms of three pairs of primary colors. This opponent process theory states that the human visual system interprets color information by processing signals from cones and rods in an antagonistic manner. The opponent color theory suggests that there are three opponent channels: red versus green, blue versus yellow, and black versus white. Responses to one color of an opponent channel are antagonistic to those to the other color. Therefore, a green image will produce a magenta afterimage. The green color fatigues the green photoreceptors, so they produce a weaker signal. Anything resulting in less green, is interpreted as its paired primary color, which is magenta.[citation needed]
Example movie which produces distortion illusion after one watches it and looks away. See Motion aftereffect.[citation needed]
Positive afterimages, by contrast, appear the same color as the original image. They are often very brief, lasting less than half a second, and may not occur unless the stimulus is very bright. The cause of positive afterimages is not well known, but possibly reflects persisting activity in the brain when the retinal photoreceptor cells continue to send neural impulses to the occipital lobe.[5]
As in most circumstances only very bright stimuli such as the sun produce positive afterimages, and a stimulus which elicits a positive image will usually trigger a negative afterimage quickly via the adaptation process. To experience this phenomenon, one can look at a bright source of light and then look away to a dark area, such as by closing the eyes. At first one should see a fading positive afterimage, likely followed by a negative afterimage that may last for much longer.
In this effect, an empty (white) shape is presented on a colored background for several seconds. When the background color disappears (becomes white) an illusionary color, similar to the original background is perceived within the shape.[citation needed] The mechanism of the effect is still unclear, and may be produced by one or two of the following mechanisms:[citation needed]
The perceived empty shape effect could also be derived due to both mechanisms.[citation needed]

Local Corporation Launches Consumer Site For Multi-Billion Dollar HVAC Market To Expand Local Ad Revenues
Local Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading online local media company, today announced the launch of its second industry-specific, content driven website designed to further extend its reach and engagement with local consumers and businesses.
The company, which connects businesses with over a million consumers each day, plans to leverage these new industry-specific sites to further expand its reach into and monetization of local markets.
The new site, which focuses on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) , offers a complete HVAC service guide that includes educational articles and provides a variety of decision criteria for consumers who are choosing an HVAC service provider. The site also provides the ability to request quotes, access a comprehensive directory of local HVAC professionals, including contact information and, where available, user ratings and reviews. The HVAC industry is estimated to be worth $16.8 billion in the U.S. 1, and is forecasted to rise about 8 percent in 2012, and this growth is expected to continue through 2017. 2
Local Corporation expects to focus monetization of its new portfolio of industry-specific sites primarily via lead generation, as well as pay-per-click, pay-per-call, display and subscription ad units. The company plans to launch additional vertical sites in other key consumer service categories in the future.
"This effort represents another step in our lead generation and overall performance-based ad strategies," said Carlos Caponera, Local Corporation, senior director, consumer properties. "These sites expand our footprint and are expected to further increase consumer engagement and traffic, as well as improve our ability to monetize this traffic via lead generation. We're also pleased to be providing consumers with a convenient, one-stop solution for receiving targeted information on the specific businesses and services that they need locally." According to BIA/Kelsey, in 2011, 30 percent of all online searches were local searches, and were valued at $5.7 billion. The value of local searches is expected to grow by a CAGR of 12 percent to $10.2 billion and represent 35 percent of all online searches in 2016. Billions of new dollars flow into digital media from traditional and online advertisers in order to reach local consumers online, and the company expects these new vertical sites will assist the company in claiming a larger portion of this transitioning media spend.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Yellen's Policies Will Boost Overseas Economies
With Yellen's nomination on Oct. 9, these assets saw sweet relief. In the three weeks since, we have seen a remarkable recovery in the assets that were so hated in the three months prior:
Far-Reaching Effects of QE
Perhaps the more interesting action has been occurring in the left-for-dead Emerging Markets -- economies that benefit directly from lower interest rates here in the United States. We initially pointed to these opportunities back in July and September, when the argument made a lot less sense (but entry points were quite a bit better).
+12.47% -- S&P 500 +16.11% -- Emerging Markets, VWO The higher the interest rates the United States pays on its debt, the higher rates these smaller and more economically sensitive nations must pay to attract investment in their own governments' debt. The logic is the same as when companies or borrowers with lower credit ratings have to pay higher interest rates to secure loans. Higher cost of funds creates additional headwinds for their growth; the converse is also true. What if I'm wrong, though? What if Rand Paul filibusters to block Yellen's nomination, or Yellen has a change of heart after accepting her nomination? If rates spike higher again, aren't we going to see the same pain that we endured for the entire month of June? Maybe. The trouble with that argument is you're not just fighting the Fed, whose primary objective is to see solid improvements in the labor market (specifically, an unemployment rate of 6.5%). You are also fighting retirees, endowments, pension funds, foreign governments and mutual funds who may be infinitely more interested in securing 3% on their fixed income portfolios than they are at 2%. Any increased appetite for our government's debt puts downward pressure on the interest rates we must pay to attract investment. Everything is relative. Yellen at the helm bodes well not just for our markets which may be getting a bit extended, but also for our small, foreign counterparts whose recovery is much less mature. As the world's largest economy, the scope of our policies cannot be measured simply by our unemployment rate and GDP growth. In fact, our unemployment and GDP growth depends more on the health of other economies than it ever has before. At the time of publication the author was long AMJ, VNQ & VWO. -- Written by Adam B.

I bought this product a while back, and have been using it more recently because of the many functions I have to attend. I use it mainly for night events as I find it gives the makeup a more dewy finish. Well worth the price.

- Cat Litter Types
Is your cat a Digger, Sitter or Pusher?Just like us cats have habits, especially when it comes to their toilet routine. No matter which litter you prefer, we all know it's your cat that gets the final say, so here are some handy hints and tips to help you get the most out of their favourite litter and keep your cat purring! Sitter – Does your cat just sits on the litter with minimal fuss? Then they may be a Sitter. Both clumping and non clumping litters are fine for a Sitter, however you may consider using a litter mat around the tray to ensure they don't leave a trail if the litter is a little dusty. Pusher – If your cat tends to make quite a mess, often ending up outside of the tray, you may have a Pusher! A clumping litter may suit Pushers better as you can maintain the tray on a daily basis. It also might be worth considering a tray liner just in case the depth of the litter runs too low. This will stop the bottom of the tray from getting wet and prevent the litter from sticking. Digger – Does your cat dig and dig to the bottom of the tray? You have a Digger! As your cat is digging you may need to fill the tray with more litter. Either clumping or non-clumping is fine to use for a Digger, and a litter liner is definitely recommended just in case they dig too far. How to use different types of litter |
Clumping cat litter Clumping cat litter usually requires a deeper fill to allow the clumps to form and be removed easily. To find out the correct amount of litter to use always read the label. However for optimum use it is recommended the litter tray is filled to a depth of 5-7cm and topped up with litter after clumps have been removed. It is also advisable that you replace the litter intermittently. We recommend that you follow a hygiene routine to keep your family safe and ensure that your cat will continue to use the litter. Non clumping cat litter You know your cat better than anyone else, however to get the optimum use from the litter we recommend that you follow the fill requirements stated on pack. As the litter becomes used over time we recommend replacing the litter and following a hygiene routine to ensure your family are safe and that your cat will continue to use the litter. |

Jack Z. has had so many blunder moves since being in Seattle one can't count them all. Five years ago he didn't sign Raul because he didn't fit into his plan. Let Mike Morse walk also only to bring them both back. Traded Cliff Lee for Smoak. 2005 drafted Jeff Clement number 3 overall ahead of Braun, Zimmerman, Tulowitzki, McCutchen. Brought in Milton Bradley. So don't sell us on Jack. I could add many more.
Originally written on
NorthWest Sports Beat

Youth propelling change
When Jack Z took over the reigns of the Seattle Mariners front office, he asked for patience. He wanted to build a talent laden farm system that would eventually translate to a young, exciting team that would finally put the Mariners in contention once again. Well, Mariner faithful, it seems that time is approaching.
With the call ups of both SS Brad Miller and 2B Nick Franklin, the Mariners have effectively put their youth movement into full swing.
After dominating the minor leagues, both of these young players came into the league with a lot of expectations. While it's still early, they are both fulfilling their prophecy quite nicely.
Let's break down their rise to the Majors and how they're doing in their rookie seasons.
Brad Miller
While we've seen the case of Brad Miller before, it does not happen often. After tearing up the lower tiers of the minor leagues, Miller quickly rose to AA Jackson. While there, he hit .320 in his first 40 games to end the 2012 season and then in 42 games to start the 2013 season, he hit .294.
Over those 82 games, Miller put up 92 hits, 48 runs, 14 doubles, 3 triples, 10 home runs, 37 RBI's, stole 8 bases and tallied 42 walks and 56 strike outs.
He quickly got the call to Tacoma and proceeded to play just 26 games before getting the call to the Mariners. In those 26 games, he hit .356 with 37 hits, 26 runs, 5 doubles, 1 triple, 6 home runs, 28 RBI's, 15 walks and 18 strike outs. In 26 games, he put up comprable stats to his previous 82.
Nick Franklin is helping lead the youth movement in Seattle with old school style
Now in Seattle, Miller is continuing his successful ways. On a still subpar squad, Miller has been one of the bright spots. He's sporting a .286 average in 13 games. He's got 14 hits, 7 runs, 7 RBI's, 5 doubles, 2 triples, 7 walks, 13 strike outs, and is 2 for 2 in stolen bases.
While he is showing flashes of power, he is also hitting for average and has the speed to turn singles into double and doubles into triples. His discipline at the plate could use some work with all the strike outs, but he is still young and maturing. He is still going deep into counts and making pitchers work for their outs.
Brad Miller is going to be a future star in the Majors. For now, we'll let him star on our own stage here in Seattle.
Nick Franklin
Nick Franklin paved the way for Brad Miller to enter the way he did. Franklin absolutely dominated the minors, more than earning his ticket to the bigs. Even if he was rushed a little due to the mediocrity in Seattle, this kid came ready to play. He spent more time combined in Jackson and Tacoma than Miller, but it has also shown tremendously in his play.
In 78 games in Jackson, Franklin hit .324 with 93 hits, 38 runs, 34 RBI's, 20 doubles, 6 triples, 6 home runs, 30 walks, 56 strike outs and 14 stolen bases.
In 103 games in Tacoma, Franklin hit just under .300 with 111 hits, 67 runs, 49 RBI's, 24 doubles, 5 triples, 11 home runs, 54 walks, 88 strike outs and 10 stolen bases.
While Franklin is also having strike out issues, he is drawing a lot of walks and is also showing mostly good discipline at the plate. If he can just turn some of those strike outs into walks or singles, he would be exactly what Dustin Ackley was prophesized to be, but with the actual skill of a 2nd baseman.
Together, both Miller and Franklin are giving fans in Seattle hope for the future. While this season can still be won, the Mariners are building a team that all fans can enjoy for years to come.
With Brad Miller and Nick Franklin at the top of the order, good things will happen.
Let the youth movement commence. Kudos, Jack Z.
11 Comments:
A lot of those moves were pre-Jack. I'm not saying he's been perfect or all that great, but I applaud his drafting of these guys. I'm not selling anybody on anything but the fact that Miller and Franklin are young and actually producing. And that it may lead to a more exciting future.
Jack Z is the reason why the Mariners will always be a triple A ball club.
That's a fair comment. I think it can get better if the prospects pan out like they are expected, but I also did not say he's done a great overall job. Just bringing these guys up.
The Mariners can be fun to watch, but we wonder if they will continue to be the Yankees unofficial Farm Team. Every time they get a great player, they send them off to the Yankees. And one has to ask, will Raul become the new Edgar in terms of fan appreciation AND admiration?
They ARE finally fun to watch more often than not, even if it translates to some painful losses. It is a weird trend with Mariners castoffs going to New York or Boston and performing on a whole new level. If the Mariners do not trade Ibanez, he could have a huge impact on this clubhouse even more than he already has
Jack z didnt become GM until 2008 so blaming him for drafting Jeff clement is moronic Letting aged hitters go is just part of the biz.... Jack will eventually be judges by the young core he has coming up not for anything todo with ibanez or morse....
Thank you. His plan revolved around drafting and developing young talent, that is where his grade should come from in the end.
Here is Jack Z's record since coming to the Mariners
2009 85-77 3rd in AL West
2010 61-101 Last in AL West Chone Figgins 4 year 35 million
2011 67-95 Last in AL West Hired loser Eric Wedge as coach
2012 75-87 Last in AL West
2013 43-52 Battling out with bottom feeder Houston Astros
Yeah, Jack Z is great, just great
I did not say he is great nor have I lauded the overall team's record or performance. I was just stating that Miller and Franklin give this team a bright future if the prospects start panning out. Jack Z DOES deserve a little credit along the way for the likes of Miller, Franklin, Zunino, Hultzen, Walker. THey will eventually turn this team around when they become a true core of young talent on the big league team.
Jack Z does deserve credit for keeping the Mariners a farm club. One of the biggest losers in fan base in professional sports. And I honestly can't see how you guys can say they are exciting to watch whilst they still lose. I just don't get it. Oh, and I almost forgot...Franklin Gutierrez (way to go Jacky Z). I bet he does not have all those injuries when traded or sold to another team, probably the Yankees or the Red Sox :)

I have a CO2 tank that was damaged during shipping. I'm antsy in my pantsy to mess around with my new kegging system though so I was wondering if it this would be something I could fix myself. The manufacturer is a little slower getting back to me than I had hoped about a replacement. I'm attaching some pics. The valve handle is bent and I can't twist it open or closed. Everything else is intact besides the handle grip.
Never underestimate the potential of someone who refuses to act their age.
Is it fixable? yes Should you fix it? Absolutely not!
My words and name come from years of experience (bad decisions)
Yeah, I expected that this would be the answer. I was just hoping it would be an easy fix and I'd get to try out my first kegging system. The new tank is being sent out now. Thanks y'all.

"The facts were these. Dodge City did not invent or manufacture goods. Dodge did not raise or educate children. It did not nurture or appreciate the arts. Dodge City had a single purpose: to extract wealth from Texas. Drovers brought cattle north and got paid in cash; Dodge sent them home in possession of neither." (Page 28)

"Even when he was little and just listened, Morg loved the feel of a book in his hands, loved the pictures books drew inside his head, loved even the smell of paper, and leather binding, and glue. Lord, but it did Virginia's heart good to watch that child with a book, his solid little body almost motionless while his mind traveled. And she admired the way Morgan helped Wyatt with his lessons instead of making fun of him, like the older boys did." (Page 129)

94 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2012
Bright ruby-red. Knockout perfume of red berries, dark cherry, minerals, flowers, licorice, tobacco and tarragon, complemented by sexy sweet oak. Suave, glossy and silky, but given energy and lift by its cabernet franc component. Captivating vanilla, coconut and spice notes add complexity and lift to the vibrant fruit flavors. No excessive sweetness here. Still a baby but already boasts lovely early balance. Wonderfully smooth Pomerol with terrific finishing lift.

No sharp edges. Shows a modicum of evolution as it interacts with air. Still the dark fruit buttressed by excellent tannins persist.

Officials stress need for volunteers, urge vigilance in flood fight
FARGO - Today marks a critical day for flood fighters to top off sandbag levees and build secondary dikes throughout the city.
A simple prayer kicked off the now daily flood meeting of officials leading the fight.
"We need all the help we can get," said Mayor Dennis Walaker, adding prayers were said at similar meetings when the city won its flood fight in 1997.

Sound needs a medium to travel in. A vacuum is void of matter, thus no medium to transmit the wave.

And I find sad that you all think Cryptic did this intentionally...
That's one way it could have happened.
The other is that PWE forced it on them, and they couldn't do a thing about it
You're all upset about this change. But I'm saying you might want to take a step back, and wait till you find who's really behind the change. Then you can effective target your anger, instead of just railing without thinking.
I don't know which it is myself, but I'm saying wait a little first.
Was named Trek17, but still an author.
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh'. I have nothing against the game/devs, nor any particular wish to talk bad about either, or praise most decisions. Still, it's better to be positive than cynical.

The Voice: Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine Vie for a Steal as Battle Rounds Continue
Originally posted 10/15/2014 03:30AM
Is the biggest talent to emerge on The Voice this season not a contestant, but newbie coach Pharrell Williams?
It sure looked that way Tuesday night, when the "Happy" singer/songwriter showed off his tender side and tactical strategy while playing a key role in all three battles featured on the second night of the battle rounds.
The show kicked off with Team Pharrell, and pitted Alabama college student Jordy Searcy, 20, against musician-turned-Texas-family-man Taylor Phelan, 25, singing the moving hit "Breakeven (Falling to Pieces)." Williams, along with advisor Alicia Keys, focused on coaxing more emotional performances out of the pair.

The Voice Recap: Battle Heats Up as Coaches Finalize Teams During Final Blind Auditions
Originally posted 10/07/2014 10:00AM
Season 7 of The Voice turned a competitive corner Monday in the fifth and final night of the show's blind auditions.
Adam Levine, a veteran coach and two-time winner, showed he was still in it to win it, snagging the night's most mature contestant and the evening's only four-chair turn with Aiken, South Carolina, radiology technician Beth Spangler, 30.
Maybe it was her black leather overalls, or sassy haircut, or sunshine smile. But likely it was Spangler's sparkling vocal range and her ease in helming Beyoncé's "Best Thing I Never Had" that had the coaches in a full-on fight for her attention as each got picky in sparring over the last few star contestants.

It's official: Pharrell Williams will pretty much stop at nothing to win over a contestant he wants on The Voice.
The master singer-songwriter-producer-and-hat-wearer wooed contestants using everything from expertly crafted sales pitches to doodling like a lovesick schoolboy in an attempt to win over promising contestants as season 7's blind auditions continued Tuesday.
His arsenal was on full display as the show kicked off with a commanding rendition of "At Last" by San Diego resident Katriz Trinidad, who sounded much older than her 15 years.

Powerhouse singer Anita Antoinette returned to The Voice on Monday, showing her moxie and persistence on the third night of Season 7 blind auditions to earn a four-chair turn and praise from all the coaches as a blossoming, much-improved performer.
And Gwen Stefani showed that she came to compete by snagging Antoinette, one of the evening's most coveted contestants, and cheekily asking veterans Adam Levine and Blake Shelton why they let her go in in Season 3.

The Voice coaches all had the same message for a contestant who delivered a masterful version of Sam Smith's haunting hit: Stay with me.
But Los Angeles resident Maiya Sykes, who closed out the second night of blind auditions Tuesday with the emotional song, could only choose one coach – although they all tried their best to woo the professional singer and Yale graduate, who has been struggling to find her footing in the music industry for well over a decade.
"What excites me the most is that when people have their own story, it's about amplifying who you are and you telling the world your story," newbie coach Pharrell Williams said in a heartfelt appeal. "Do I get a little bit of Aretha? Yes. Do I get a little bit of Gladys Knight? Yes. But I am so interested in who you personally are, and that's the story I want to amplify."

Daughter's fear of thunder leads local dad to write children's book
By Rosie Powers
Like many parents, Tim Sheridan has oftentimes been called into his daughter's room during a thunderstorm – attempting to explain the natural phenomenon that, to his daughter, just appeared to be a massive force of loud noises and bright lights.
Sheridan is attempting to quell the fears of many children who share a similar fear of storms with his new book, "Thunder and Lightning: A story for a stormy night." Fundraising for the book, which he hopes will also be available in eBook form, will be on Kickstarter until July 3.
"My daughter Lily -- she still doesn't like thunderstorms but she used to be terrified -- and if there was a storm that woke her up, it took a lot of effort to calm her down and assure her we're safe in our house," he said. "It got me thinking -- what can you do to alleviate that?"
Although Sheridan's explanation of thunder and lightning worked sometimes, after several nights of sleeping on his daughter's floor, he figured there needed to be another answer.
"I had already been coming up with characters that I have in this ongoing set of stories that I'd tell at bedtime for my kids," he said. "Thinking about that and thinking about how to make storms less scary, I thought -- what if thunder and lightning were friends?"
And that's where Sheridan's idea for the story was born.
"What if they were best friends, grew up together, and they got loud when they'd play," Sheridan said. "One day thunder's family was going to move away -- but every time they get together is a storm -- that's just what a storm is, them playing together."
In addition to the text and images featured in the story, Sheridan hopes to include songs recorded by The Low Anthem. The eBook edition of the story would feature the music files, which can be incorporated at both the beginning and the end of the story.
"I thought of The Low Anthem because they've got that style that is sort of honest, direct, melancholy, but also very reassuring," he said. "When I went to them to see about using a couple songs, they were very gracious. They're one of those bands that are about trying different things and being open -- they're in it for the pure love of music."
Sheridan also got the artistic vision of Dee Duncan, a local illustrator with whom he had worked professionally, to complete the visuals for the story.
"His vision for this is so simpatico -- quirky but still cute -- there are things that you discover in the book as you read over and over again, and our visions are very similar," Sheridan said.
Because Sheridan already had an illustrator in mind, he chose the Kickstarter route with the hopes of speeding up the story's publishing process and to have more control over its visual elements. Sheridan said that oftentimes authors have to wait several years before getting a publishing deal.
"It felt like the best way was to get it done myself and not have to wait," he said. "It can strike the interest of people that are outside of your social circle -- it's very validating about the quality of work we've all done together."
If Sheridan achieves his Kickstarter fundraising goal, he hopes that the story will eventually go beyond the realm of the common thunderstorm fix into an old favorite.
"It was the idea of wanting to do a story that kids would not just want to hear once to make a storm less scary, but to hear over and over again like my kids do with their favorite stories," he said.
Editor's note: The original version of this story incorrectly stated that "Thunder & Lightning: a Story for a Stormy Night" had been published. It has not yet been published, as the author hopes to do so if he reaches his Kickstarter goal. Wednesday Journal regrets this error.
