Early life[edit]
XCX was born in Cambridge,[7] England, the daughter of a Scottish father and an Indian mother from Uganda. She grew up in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire.[8][9] She started writing songs when she was 14 years old.[2][10] She attended Bishop's Stortford College and left the school in 2010.[11]
2008–11: Career beginnings and You're the One[edit]
At the age of 14, XCX began recording her debut album on a loan granted by her parents. In early 2008, she began posting songs from the album, as well as numerous other demos, on her official MySpace. This caught the attention of a man called Chaz, who was running numerous illegal warehouse raves in London, which became her first true gigs.[12] Despite the illicit nature of these gigs her parents were supportive of her career and attended several raves with her.[13] Two singles, "!Franchesckaar!" and double A-side "Emelline"/"Art Bitch", were released in late 2008 under Orgy Music. XCX's debut studio album, 14, featuring the former single, was never commercially released, although several promotional copies were issued and copies were given away at her earliest gigs.[14] After being signed to Asylum Records in 2010, she took a break from music in what she describes as a "lost" period.[15]
In May 2011, she released her first single in nearly three years, "Stay Away", followed by "Nuclear Seasons" in November, both produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and released exclusively in the United Kingdom. These singles gained attention from Pitchfork Media, where she gained Best New Track accolades for both tracks, with the former being ranked #35 on their Best Tracks of 2011 list.[16] In late 2011, a five-track promotional sampler of Aitchison's debut album surfaced. All tracks were early demos, including an early version of "You're the One", titled "In the Dark".[17] She also released two free mixtapes via SoundCloud, containing tracks by her female and male influences, the first titled Super Girls, SuperLove and the second titled I Like Boys Who Cry.[18] On 12 May 2012, she released her first original mixtape, titled Heartbreaks and Earthquakes, a one-track file consisting of eight songs, including "How Can I".[19] She supported Santigold and Coldplay on tour throughout summer.[20]
On 12 June 2012, XCX released her debut EP, entitled You're the One, which she worked with Patrik Berger, Ariel Rechtshaid and Todd Rundgren. The EP was released in Australia under Warner Music,[21][22] United Kingdom under Asylum Records and Atlantic Records,[23] and United States under IAMSOUND Records, featuring "You're the One" and "Nuclear Seasons", as well as remixes of both tracks.[24] On 14 June, "You're the One" was released as her third single off the EP, along with the music video.[25] The song charted within the Billboard US Hot Singles Sales and Dance Singles Sales at number ten and five, respectively.[26] The EP was later released in September in the United Kingdom and Australia, the UK version featuring the title track and "So Far Away", as well as three remixes. The Australian version contained the title track, "Stay Away", and "Nuclear Seasons". The Australian edition was also the only version of the EP to be released physically on CD.[17] Her second original mixtape, Super Ultra, was released exclusively through her website on 7 November 2012, featuring 8 separate tracks.[27]
2012–13: Breakthrough with Icona Pop and True Romance[edit]
XCX co-wrote the song "I Love It", which would be later recorded by Icona Pop as well as becoming the breakthrough hit for the Swedish duo.[28] Member Caroline Hjelt described Charli XCX's original demo as "more cute, in a way…really cool and cocky".[29] It entered the Swedish Singles Chart the following month at number 48, and after two months on the chart, the song peaked at number two for three consecutive weeks. After its January 2013 appearance on an episode of Girls, the song performed better in digital downloads than it had upon initial release.[30] Ten days later it entered the Billboard Hot 100,[31] eventually climbing to number seven on the chart.[32] XCX performed the song for the first time with Icona Pop in April 2013, after seeing them back stage at a South by Southwest showcase where both acts were playing.[33]
Her second studio album and debut major label studio album, True Romance, was released on 12 April 2013. The album peaked at number eighty-five on the UK Albums Chart.[34] XCX explained the meaning being the album's title: "Every corner of my own romantic history is explored on this record, so for me, it's very raw, it's very honest, and it's very true."[35] The album is named after Quentin Tarantino's 1993 film of the same name, which is sampled on "Velvet Dreaming" from the Super Ultra mixtape, also Charli revealed on her official Twitter account that there would be a deluxe edition of the album.[36] On 9 April, the standard edition of album became available to stream on Pitchfork Media in full.[37] The album failed to appear on any international main albums charts, but it did reach numbed five on the US Billboard Top Heatseekers and number eleven on the Australian Hitseekers Albums Chart, reaching the equivalent peak of number two hundred and five and number one hundred [and] eleven respectively.[38] The album was well received by music critics, with an average score of 76/100 on Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[39] As well as earning four of five stars from AllMusic.[40] In March 2013, XCX was named one of Fuse TV's 30 must-see artists at SXSW.[41] In support of the album's release, XCX embarked on a three-date UK promotional tour in April 2013.[35]
2013–present: International success and Sucker[edit]
In June 2013, XCX confirmed she was working on her third album[42] and has worked with Weezer, John Hill, StarGate duo and Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend for her upcoming album.[43] In September 2013, XCX supported American rock band Paramore on the UK leg of their self-titled tour, spanning two dates at Wembley Arena. On 2 December, the lead single of Charli's second major-label album, "SuperLove", was released with an accompanying music video.[44] Although the song was originally announced as the lead single from Charli's then-untitled second major-label studio album,[31] it will not be included on her upcoming album.[45] The single reached number sixty-two on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Charli's first solo entry on the chart.[46]
In February 2014, XCX featured on Australian recording artist Iggy Azalea's song "Fancy".[47][48] On 4 March 2014, the music video for "Fancy", which XCX and Azalea worked on together, was released.[49] The music video was heavily inspired by the film Clueless, with Azalea portraying Cher Horowitz (originally played by Alicia Silverstone) and Charli portraying Tai Frasier (originally played by Brittany Murphy).[50] In May 2014, "Fancy" hit the number one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming both artists' first number one single on the chart.[51][52]
In May 2014, she contributed the song "Boom Clap" for the soundtrack to The Fault in Our Stars. The song was released as the album's first single and eventually peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100,[53] it also charted within the UK Singles Chart at number 6,[46] as well as certifying Platinum in Australia.[54] In August 2014, Charli announced the title of her third studio album to be, Sucker, which would be released 21 October 2014.[55] The second single from the album, "Break the Rules", was released on 18 August, with the music video featuring Rose McGowan was released on 25 August.[56]
In September 2014, Katy Perry announced via her Twitter page that XCX would open all shows on the last leg of her Prismatic World Tour.[57] A song recorded by XCX and Duran Duran's frontman Simon LeBon was included in the original soundtrack of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 film, which was released in November.[58] The same month, Iggy Azalea's reissue album Reclassified was also released and XCX co-wrote "Beg for It", which features Danish singer-songwriter MØ. XCX joined the list of the 9th Annual Billboard Women in Music honorees as a hit-maker.[59]
Originally when I started, I was really influenced by the artists on Ed Banger like Justice, Uffie, SebastiAn and people like that. Then I really got into hip-hop, original Eminem, and people like ASAP Rocky, Mykki Blanco. I've also always liked pop music like Britney and the Spice Girls. I kind of wanted to blend all of that together and have a prominent bass through all of my songs because I came from the club scene, and even though I write pop music, I wanted that to be there and have these hip-hop beats but a Björk-esque, ethereal magic over all of it. I feel like that's what the record is like: magical, ethereal, gangsta pop.
XCX's music draws from multiple genres: pop punk,[61][62] dark pop,[63] electropop,[64] indietronica[65] and witch house.[63]
XCX mentioned Debbie Harry and Eminem amongst her influences,[66] adding that "the best artists are the ones who constantly change—Madonna, [David] Bowie".[67] XCX's music has been compared to the music of the 1980s with "the spookiness of Siouxsie Sioux" or "flawless early-Madonna".[68] When she mentioned influences, she reached for names like "Björk, Siouxsie Sioux and Quentin Tarantino",[69] and named "Siouxsie Sioux as her hero".[70] She said that her "dream collaboration would be with someone like Björk, Kate Bush, or even Dionne Warwick".[66] She cited Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" as one of her favourite songs.[66] Her other influences include Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne,[71][72] Spice Girls, Uffie, Brooke Candy and Lil Wayne.[73][74][75] For her third solo album project, she listed The Hives, Weezer and Ramones as influences.[76] Various sources have listed her as goth pop or dark pop.[77]
When XCX was around the age of 15, a promoter recruited her for some of her first live shows, asking her to perform at raves and warehouse parties in East London.[78] When he asked for the name to use on flyers for the events, she told him to "just put 'Charli XCX'", which was her MSN Messenger screen name when she was younger.[79] She said that she chose the name because she thought "it looked cool and sounded catchy".
According to XCX, the initials no longer explicitly stand for anything, and simply represent everything she has done so far.[13] Upon signing to her label, however, XCX noted that it could stand for "X rated Content".[13]
Personal life[edit]
Aitchison experiences sound-to-colour synaesthesia. She states, "I see music in colours. I love music that's black, pink, purple or red—but I hate music that's green, yellow or brown."[80]

Adsense-wrapper for DFP
I decided if I was going to simplify how we displayed the ads I was going to need to come up with a way to keep track of all our 100+ ad spots and match them up with what urls the ad spots appear on. The solution I came up with is my adsense-wrapper script.
With permission from my boss, I've put the code on Github so that others might be able to benefit from it and or help us improve it. Please feel free to clone/download the code and kick the tires.

Accelerometer Lock
What does the pad lock icon with the arrow on my iPhone mean?
If you're seeing an icon of a padlock surrounded by an arrow in your iPhone's icon bar, it means that your iPhone has rotation lock enabled.
Rotation lock allows your iPhone to be locked or "frozen" in portrait mode. In other words, turning your iPhone horizontal won't cause the screen to rotate into landscape mode.
If you've ended up in rotation lock accidentally, and want to know how to interact with the iPhone's rotation lock feature, visit our FAQ entitled "How do I lock rotation in iOS?".
How do I lock rotation in iOS?
In iOS 8 and iOS 7, iPhone rotation locking has been moved to the Control Center. To enable rotation lock and prevent the screen from automatically changing orientation when the iPhone is turned:
To access Control Center and lock rotation in iOS 7/8 follow these steps:
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the home screen to bring up Control Center.
2. The top row of the Control Center shows 5 circular toggles.
How can I stop iPhone screen rotation?
UPDATE: iOS 4 features a built-in rotation lock function. Find out more information about how to use rotation lock here.
Some iPhone applications have preferences to set an accelerometer lock under Settings. When rotation is disabled, the orientation of the app stays fixed in one direction no matter which way the iPhone is turned.
Most commonly used apps such as Safari, Messaging, Mail and iPod do not have this feature available in the preferences. In contrast, orientation can be temporarily fixed when viewing photos on the iPhone Camera Roll or Photo Library.
Stop Accelerometer Rotation When Viewing iPhone Photos
Some iPhone applications have preferences to set an accelerometer lock, which keeps the orientation of the app in one direction no matter which way the iPhone turns. Unfortunately, most commonly used apps do not have this feature.
Rotation can be switched off when viewing photos on the iPhone Camera Roll or Photo Library. When viewing a photo, hold down with one finger on the photo as if you're trying to copy the image.

Apple's latest iMac looks great, even faster
New Sandy Bridge processors deliver speed; Thunderbolt port offers promise
Remember the old ad campaign for Miller Lite? "Tastes great, less filling."
The latest update to Apple's iMac line, which rolled out in May, in a way reminds me of that. Apple left unchanged the minimalist aluminum-and-glass design while switching to Intel's Sandy Bridge processors, AMD graphics chips and adding the new Thunderbolt port for high-speed connections with peripherals.
The new iMac still looks great, and it's even faster.
That sums up what Apple has done with its all-in-ones, with the biggest change being the introduction of Thunderbolt, a technology that's definitely still ahead of the curve but could prove to be quite popular down the road.
Specs and prices
Like the previous generation, this iMac lineup starts at $1,199 for a 21.5-in. model with a 1920-by-1080-pixel resolution screen and $1,699 for a 27-in. version, which sports 2560-by-1440-pixel resolution. There's also a high-end $1,999 model, which comes with a 3.1GHz quadcore i5 processor; this is the model Apple provided for my review.
All iMacs feature Intel's Core i5 quadcore processors (and you can upgrade to an i7 if you need more speed), a 720p wide-angle FaceTime camera for high-definition video chats, 4GB of memory, and at least 512MB of video memory. The entry-level model uses an AMD Radeon HD 6750M video card with 512MB of RAM; the pricier iMacs rely on the AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1GB of video memory. (You can double that to 2GB on the 27-in. iMac, but it'll cost you $100.) The $1,199 model has a 500GB hard drive; the rest come with 1TB of storage, which can be expanded to 2TB or combined with a solid-state drive for a more responsive machine.
All of the changes Apple made to the lineup match the company's past practice of beefing up hardware while leaving prices intact, yielding a thoroughly modern all-in-one computer, with a sharp, bright screen that's perfect for editing movies, organizing/editing photos, watching streaming video or making your own presentations. Best of all, the iMacs come with Apple's iLife suite of apps -- iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, iDVD and iWeb. I still haven't found any software quite as intuitive -- or as easy to use -- on the Windows side that beats the iLife suite.
For the environmentally conscious, the iMac meets Energy Star 5.2 requirements, and is rated EPEAT Gold in the U.S. and Canada.
The iMac still comes in the unibody form factor Apple rolled out several years ago. The main iMac chassis is carved from a single slab of aluminum for solid, seamless, quality construction. The design is an instant attention-getter, and this iMac was a draw no matter who was visiting, regardless of technical proficiency. The silver of the aluminum and the black framed-glass remains striking; it's minimalism at its best, while still incorporating needed functionality. For instance, the deep black border around the screen hides the HD FaceTime camera and a green LED, which lights up when the camera is on.
Enter Thunderbolt
The iMac has the same retinue of ports and wireless networking as before, with one very important addition: the inclusion of the new Thunderbolt port.
Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and implemented as the DisplayPort connection on Apple products. (If you've purchased a new MacBook Pro since February, that port you've been plugging your display into is a Thunderbolt port.)

Eight teams 2-0 after Day 2 of Desert Mtn. Softball Invite
Red Mountain's Savannah Kirkpatrick delivered a long sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh Wednesday night to give the Lady Lions a 4-3 victory over Canyon del Oro on Day 2 of the Desert Mountain Softball Invitational at Horizon Park.
Red Mountain is one of eight teams sporting 2-0 tournament records after the second day of non-bracket play. Gilbert High added its name to the list late Wednesday with a game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh as well. Dani Nelson's bases-loaded double scored three runs to give Gilbert a 4-3 victory over Horizon. Horizon had rallied from a 1-0 deficit with three runs in the sixth inning. The 1-1 tie was snapped by bases-loaded walks to Gabby Moreno and T Statman issued by Gilbert reliever Taylor McCord. McCord pitched the final three innings and picked up the win.
Other teams moving to 2-0 on Wednesday were: Sahuaro, Chaparral, Mountain Ridge, Mountain Pointe, Hamilton and Desert Mountain. Sahuaro won twice taking down Chandler 7-1 and Mesa High, 10-0. Chaparral also played its first two games with shutouts over Cactus 5-0 and Seton, 13-0. Mountain Pointe got a walk-off hit to edge Arcadia, 10-9; Mountain Ridge tripped Ironwood Ridge, 9-5; Hamilton crushed Paradise Valley, 17-2 and Desert Mountain rocked Betty Fairfax, 18-3. The other unbeaten team at 1-0 is Notre Dame, which was idle on Wednesday.
Non-bracket play continues Thursday and Friday with brackets for Saturday's final day set shortly after the completion of games Friday around 8:30 p.m.

Checking blood pressure at home pays off
Do-it-yourselfers, take heart. Here's something else to do at home that can have a substantial benefit on your health: measure your blood pressure. It's easy, inexpensive, and helps control blood pressure better than visits to the doctor. The latest evidence for the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring comes from researchers in Minnesota. In a 12-month clinical trial, 72% of those doing home monitoring had their blood pressure under control compared to 57% who received usual care. The benefits persisted six months after the program had ended. Anyone can monitor blood pressure at home. You can buy a good home blood pressure monitor at a pharmacy or online merchant for anywhere from $50 to $100. Some insurance companies cover the cost.
Move over Mediterranean—a vegetarian diet is equally good for health
The Mediterranean diet has been getting a lot of press as being the very best for health. But there's another diet that appears to be equally good: a vegetarian diet. A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that people who ate a vegetarian diet were 12% less likely to have died over the course of the five-year study than nonvegetarians. The benefits were especially good for men, who had a significant reduction in heart disease. This study underscores the idea that meat consumption influences long-term health, and not in a good way. Should you consider ditching the Mediterranean diet and becoming a vegetarian instead? Either one is healthier than the typical American diet, so it's really a matter of personal choice.
Extra protein is a decent dietary choice, but don't overdo it
Adding more protein to the diet and cutting back on carbohydrates, especially highly processed carbs, is an eating strategy adopted by a growing number of people. A new study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that 43% of women surveyed are using the practice of eating more protein to prevent weight gain, and this strategy was associated with weight loss. It isn't necessary to eliminate all carbohydrates and focus only on protein. Such an eating strategy may have a short-term payoff for weight loss, but it may also come with some long-term risks. Tips for getting a healthful mix of nutrients include adding the healthful trio of fat, fiber, and protein to each meal; avoiding highly processed foods; and choosing the most healthful sources of protein, such as fish, poultry, eggs, beans, legumes, nuts, tofu, and low-fat or non-fat dairy products.
Which is better for keeping your mind fit: physical or mental activity?
Physical and mental activities are both important for protecting your thinking skills and warding off dementia. But does one trump the other? A study published yesterday in JAMA Internal Medicine tried to tease out if one was better than the other for brain health. Researchers recruited 126 older adults who felt that their memory or thinking skills had recently gotten worse, and divided them into four groups. All were asked to do an hour of mental activity three times a week and an hour of physical activity three times a week. What differed were the intensities of these activities. After 12 weeks, scores on thinking tests improved across the board. The big surprise was that there weren't any real differences in improvement between the groups. The researchers concluded that the amount of activity is more important for stimulating the brain than the type of activity, because all of the participants both exercised and engaged in mental activities each week.
Your well-being: more than just a state of mind
Americans are a diverse lot, so it's no surprise they give different answers when asked about their well-being. But it seems that well-being differs from state to state, too. In the latest Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which gauges the physical and emotional health of people in all 50 states, residents of Hawaii reported the best sense of overall well-being while West Virginia residents reported the worst. The index calculates overall well-being based on six quality of life categories, each of which is made up of several components. Poll respondents in Hawaii had the highest scores in the emotional health and work environment indexes, and were most likely to say they were thriving. People in West Virginia were most likely to say they were not thriving, and had the worst emotional health, the worst health habits, the most diagnoses of depression, and high rates of obesity. People in the other 50 states fell in between. It's possible to change both emotional and physical well-being, and improve happiness.
Think fast when kids want fast food
An army of nutrition experts is constantly reminding us that most fast food is bad for health. But they're not around to back you up when your children or grandchildren unleash powerful weapons of cuteness to convince you to stop at a fast-food chain. It's hard not to give in when the ones you adore put on the pressure, even when they're older. One new study links several weekly fast-food meals with increased risks of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema. Another shows that when kids eat out they take in up to 300 more calories than when eating at home. Stacey Nelson, a registered dietitian who is a clinical nutrition manager at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, offers some advice for when fast food is the only option.
'Tis the season—for the flu
The holiday season gets all the hype at this time of year, but the flu season needs your attention as well. It has come early this year—the earliest since 2003, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—and is expected to be severe. In the last month, new cases of flu in the U.S. have gone from a few hundred a week to more than a thousand a week. Forty-eight states and Puerto Rico have already seen lab-confirmed cases of the virus, and five children have died from it. Getting vaccinated and washing your hands often are your best bets against getting flu. The vaccine isn't an anti-flu guarantee, but it can reduce your risk by up to 80%. Yet barely one-third of Americans have been vaccinated against the flu so far this year. Why aren't more people getting a flu shot?
Losing weight and belly fat improves sleep
Do you have trouble sleeping? If you're carrying extra pounds, especially around your belly, losing weight and some of that muffin top may help you get better ZZZs. So say researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who presented their findings at this year's annual meeting of the American Heart Association. In a six-month trial that included 77 overweight volunteers, weight loss through diet plus exercise or diet alone improved sleep. A reduction in belly fat was the best predictor of improved sleep. Among people who are overweight, weight loss can reduce sleep apnea, a nighttime breathing problem that leads to frequent awakenings. Exercise has also been shown to improve sleep quality. Despite what thousands of websites want you to believe, there are no exercises or potions that "melt away" belly fat. Instead, the solution is old-fashioned exercise and a healthy diet.
4 tips for preventing neck strain when using a tablet computer
For all too many people, using a tablet computer is a pain in the neck, shoulders, and back. Why? Widely popular tablets like the iPad, Nook, Kindle Fire, and Xoom are so light and easy to handle that you can hold one on your lap or in your hand. That can put you in a position that's bad for your neck, shoulders, and back. In a study of 15 experienced tablet users, Harvard School of Public Health researchers found that working with a tablet held on the lap or placed flat on a table makes the neck bend much more than does working with a desktop or notebook computer. Neck-wise, the best tablet orientation was having it propped up on a table. Next time you expect to be working with a tablet computer for more than a few minutes, place it on a table and use a case that holds it at a comfortable viewing angle. Shift your hands, your weight, or even stand up when you can. And take a break every 15 minutes.
Lycopene-rich tomatoes linked to lower stroke risk
Succulent tomatoes are far more than just a delicious fruit. Eating them may also help lower your risk of stroke, likely due to the lycopene they contain. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that eliminates dangerous free radicals that can damage DNA and other fragile cell structures. Past research has shown that a diet rich in lycopene-containing foods may help lower the risk of prostate and other cancers. Now, in a report just published in the journal Neurology, a team of Finnish researchers has linked higher lycopene levels in the blood to protection against stroke. The researchers suggested that lycopene, in addition to its ability to attack free radicals, may also reduce inflammation and cholesterol, improve immune function, and prevent blood from clotting. All of these may help reduce ischemic strokes, which are caused by clot-caused blockages in blood flow to the brain. It's best to get lycopene from food—tomatoes and watermelon are excellent sources—not supplements.

Intense fan interest in English speaking locations[edit]

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Relationship with Gainsbourg[edit]
According to this Time interview with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg never married[1]. She reiterated this in a recent interview with The Guardian, but the article has since been deleted. There has never been any evidence of marriage, and Sylvia Simmons' Gainsbourg biography stops at saying that they were engaged in 1970 but that it was called-off when Birkin fell pregnant. Is this evidence enough to change the article to say they were never married? Perry (talk) 15:21, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- "Contrary to rumors, Jane and Serge never did marry. "He said in France I'd need to be fingerprinted and have a blood sample," Jane says, "and I was slightly offended and said, 'What on earth for?' I also had a secret fear that marriage changed things, and so, in fact, we weren't.""Vanity Fair, 2007. Fences&Windows 16:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- "Serge Gainsbourg and actress Jane Birkin often referred to each other as husband and wife, but in fact they were never married, according to Ms. Birkin's agent. An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to Ms. Birkin twice as the late Mr. Gainsbourg's third wife." Wall Street Journal, 2011. Fences&Windows 16:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- Compare the discussion at Talk:Serge_Gainsbourg#Age_when_married. Both articles now have the same text, that they were not married. Debresser (talk) 23:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Please see the continuation of this issue at Talk:Serge_Gainsbourg#Continuation. Debresser (talk) 23:16, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I am removing the recent inclusion that Sophie Hunter is Birkin's niece as it does not seem to be accurate. Promotional materials for The Isis Project simultaneously claim that Hunter is Birkin's niece and a "distant relation"(1). Certainly, when comparing their families in the peerage, there is no immediate link(2,3) so I do not find it to be credible, much less notable.

Bernd was such an easygoing guest! Super clean, easy to talk to and super responsible. Treated my house like it was his, and left it in a perfect state. I wish all my guests were like him. I hope to have him back soon..

Girls In The Windows by Ormond Gigli, 1960 "In 1960, while a construction crew dismantled a row of brownstones right across from my own brownstone studio on East 58th Street, I was inspired to, somehow immortalize those buildings. I had the vision of 43 women in formal dress adorning the windows of the skeletal facade. We had to work quickly to secure City permissions, arrange for models which included celebrities, the demolition supervisior's wife (third floor, third from left), my own wife (second floor, far right), and also secure the Rolls Royce to be parked on the sidewalk. Careful planning was a necessity as the photography had to be accomplished during the workers' lunch time! The day before the buildings were razed, the 43 women appeared in their finest attire, went into the buildings, climbed the old stairs, and took their places in the windows. I was set up on my fire escape across the streeet, directing the scene, with bullhorn in hand. Of course I was concerned for the Models' safety, as some were daring enough to pose out on the crumbling sills. The photography came off as planned. What had seemed to some as too dangerous or difficult to accomplish, became my fantasy fulfilled, and my most memorable self - assigned photograph. It has been an international award winner ever since. Most professional photographers dream of having one signature picture they are known for. "Girls in The Windows" is mine."

Christian Dior 1947 - mimics the style of the Dior dress Jessica Biel wore at the #TotalRecal premiere in LA.
#ChristianDior, 1951; the fashion world has changed forever, and #Dior is at its helm.
Christian Dior launched Corolle (the French word for the botanical term corolla is circlet of flower petals) 1947 with voluptuous, soft silhouettes. In his words, "I have designed flower women". This collection ushered in the "New Look". Gone were the boxy, conservative styles of the war period with Dior's decadent use of corsets and swaths of material reminiscent of the "Belle Epoque". Most of the dresses used between 10 to 80 yards of material.

Most of the dresses used between 10 to 80 yards of material: They were as wide, long, and sumptuous. Evening dresses were made with bouffant skirts, layer after layer of tulle.

LYRICS BUELL KAZEE – BUELL KAZEE JUNE APPAL RECORDING 009 Roll On, John Oh, roll on, John. Don't roll so slow. When the sun goes down, You'll roll no more. Oh, who's been here, Since I've been gone? It's old Aunt Jennie With a nightcap on. Oh, I dreamed last night, Oh, Cora Lou was dead With and apron string Tied around her head. Oh, roll on, John, And make your time. For I'm broke down, And I can't make mine. Jay Gould's Daughter On a Monday morning it began to rain, Around the bend came a passenger train. On the bumpers was Hobo John, He's a good old hobo, but he's dead and gone. He's dead and gone. He's dead and gone. He's a good old hobo, but he's dead and gone. Charlie Snyder was a good engineer. He told his fireman not to fear, "All you needed was water and coal. Put your head out the window, watch the drivers roll ... (etc.)" Jay Gould's daughter said before she died, "There is one more road that I'd like to ride." "Tell me, Daughter, what could that be?" "It's the Sountern California on the Sante Fe ..." The Lady Gay There was a lady and a lady gay, And children, she had three. She sent them away to the north country, To learn their grammarie.* They had not been there very long, Scarcely six months and a day, When death, cold death came hastening along, And took those babes away. "Theere is a king in heaven," she cried. "He wears a golden crown. Pray, send me down my three little babes, Tonight or in the morning soon." It was just about Old Christmas time, The night's being long and clear. She looked and she saw her three little babes, Come running home to her. She set a table both long and wide, And on it she put bread and wine, "Come eat, come drink, my three little babes, Come eat, come drink of mine." "We want none of your bread, Mother. Neither do we want your wine, For yonder stands our Savior dear, And to Him we must resign." She fixed a bed in a little back room, Nd over it she put white sheets, And over it the golded spread Where those three babes might sleep. "Take it off, take it off," cried the oldest one. "Take it off, takie it off," cried she, "For yonder stands our Savior dear, And with him you soon will be." "Green grass grow over our bed, Mother, Cold clay lies under our feet, And every tear you shed for us, It wets our winding sheet." • glamourie, Scottish for witchcraft Steel A-Goin' Down Steel a-goin' down under my old hammer, Forty-four long years, I've carried along. Steel a-goin' down, and my hammer's getting' heavy, Forty-four long years, I've sung 'em my song. In the evening burns a light soft and low In that little shanty where I long to go. Steel a-goin' down, and my hammer's gettin' heavy. I'm a-gettin' weary. I'm a-goin' home. Steel a-goin' down, under my old hammer. I'm a-gettin' weary in-a-my bones. Steel a-goin' down, and my hammer's gettin' heavy. I'm a-gettin' weary, workin' alone. Soon that lonesome whistle blow loud and long, And they'll look around for me, but I'll be gone. Steel a-goin' down, gonna swing my hammer. I'm a-gettin' weary, I'm a-goin' home. Steel a-goin' down under my old hammer, I'm a-gettin' weary, workin' so long. Steel a-goin' down, and my hammer's getting' heavy. Soon be another singin' my song. Over there beyond the dark comes a call, So I'll lay my hammer down and leave it all. Steel a-goin' down, I'm a-layin' down my hammer. Hear the whistle blowin', I'm a-goin' home. The Roving Cowboy Come all you roving cowboys, bow down your souls by land. I'll tell you a story while you around me stand. I'm going to quit this Wild West, this bleak and stormy plain, Where the Indians are I leave you to never return again. I've crossed the Rocky Mountains, I've crossed the rocky hills. I've crossed the Rocky Mountains where many a brave man fell. I've seen the distant country, the Indian and the wild. I'll never forget my old, old home and mother's sweetest smile. There was an old rich merchant who lived a neighbor by. He had an only daughter, on her I cast my eye. She was most tall and handsome, blue-eyed and curly hair. There ain't no one in this wide world to her I can compare. This lady, fair and handsome, sat closely by my side. She promised me so faithfully that she would be my bride. I kissed away the flowing tears bedimming her blue eyes. I'll never forget that darling girl, I'll love her till I die. I asked her if she' be willing if I crossed over the plain. She said it made no difference if I returned again. She said that she'd be true tome till death would be unkind. We kissed, shook hands and parted, I left my girl behind. As one day I was a-rambling down on the public square, The mail coach had arrived there. I met the mail boy there. He handed me a letter which made me understand That the girl I left behind me had married another man. Come all you rambling, gambling boys and listen while I tell - If it does no good to listen, I'm sure it'll do you no harm - If you ever court a fair young maid, just marry her while you can, For if you ever corss o'er the plain, she'll marry another man. Banjo Medley (Instrumental) Look Up, Look Down That Lonesome Road Look Up, look down that lonesome road. Hang down your head and cry. True love, true love, what have I done, That you should treat me so? You've caused me to walk that lonesome road That I've never walked before The longest train I ever saw Was on that Georgia line. The engine went down at six o'clock, And the cab went down at nine. The prettiest girl in this wide worldwide Was standing on behind. The whistle blew, and the bell did ring, The engine rolled ahead. The train did wreck in a mile of town, And dilled my true love dead. If I had wings like Noah's dove, I'd fly to my true love's door. I'd walk the porch from post to post, Hang down my head and cry. Look up, look down that lonesome road, Hang down your head and cry. The Orphan Girl "No home, no home," cried the orphan girl, As she stood at the prince's hall. Trembling she stood on the marble steps, And leaned on the marble wall. Her clothes were thin, and her fee were bare, And the snowdrops covered her hair. "Oh, give me a home," she mournfully cried, "A home and a piece of bread." "A father's love I never knew," And the tears dropped from her eyes. "My mother sleeps in a new-made grave, It's an orphan here tonight." The night was dark, and the snow fell fast, As the rich man closed his door. His proud lips curled as he scronfully said, "No home, no bread for the poor." "I must not freeze," the orphan cried, As she sank on the steps of the door. She wrapped her feet in her tatterd dress, All covered with sleet and snow. The night rolled on, and the midnight storm Rolled on like a funeral knell. The earths seemed wrapt in a winding sheet, And the chilly snow still fell. The rich man slept on his velvet couch, And he dreamed of his silver and his gold, While the orphan slept on her bed of snow And murmured, "so cold, sol cold." When the morning dawned, the little girl Still lay at the rich man's door, But her soul had fled to its home above, Where there's room and bread for the poor. On more she stood at the rich man's door And moaned in misery and cold, With a crown on her head and a harp in her hand, She sang on the streets of gold. Black Jack Davy The squire came riding home at night, Inquiring, "Where's my lady-o?" The answer that came back to him, "She's gone with the Black Jack Davy-o, She's gone with the Black Jack Davy-o." "Go saddle up my milk white steed, And spread the blanket on him so. I'll ride all night, I'll ride all day, I'll overtake my lady-o ..." He rode till he came to the river side. It looked so dark and dreary-o, But there he spied his lady fiar, Along with the Black Jack Davy-o ..." "Will you forsake your house and land? Will you forsake your baby-o? Will you forsake your wedded lord, To go with the Black Jack Davy-o ...?" "Yes, I'll forsake my house and land. Yes, I'll forsake my baby-o. Yes, I'll forsake my wedded lord, To go with the Black Jack Davy-o..." "Last night I lay on a warm feather bed, By the side of my little baby-o. Tonight I'll lie on a cold river bank, By the side of my Black Jack Davy-o..." The Blind Man Mid sorrow, mid sadness I am destined to roam. Forlorn and foresaken, I wander alone, For all the works of Nature are hidden from my view. The pleasures of live I must ever bid adieu. I can hear the merry laughs while gathered in the throngs, When friend greets friend as they hurry along, In groups on their way for some pleasure to find. O, God, what affliction it is to be blind! I can hear the babbling brook as it rolls on its way, Reflecting its waters on bright summer days. Its sweet and low murmurs are pleasant to me. Its bright and sparkling waters I nevermore can see. I can feel the gentle breeze as it seeps o'er the field, Brining in sweet fragrance the flowers do yield. Their sweet and fragrant odors are pleasing to me. Their bright and gay colors I nevermore can see. O, Thou in Whose Presence O, Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in affliction I call, My comfort by day, and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all. The roses of sharon, the lillies that grow In veils on the banks of the stream His cheeks in the beauty of excellence flow, His eye all invitingly beams. His vice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet, Is heard through the shadows of death. The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet. The air is perfumed with his breath. He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for his word. He speaks, and eternity filled with his voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. Dear Shpherd, I hear and will answer thy call. I know the seet sound of thy voice. Restore and defend me, for thou art my all. In thee will I ever rejoice. Amazing Grace Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now I see. How long, Dear Savior, O, how longestHave we on earth to stay? Roll on, rool on, ye wheels of time, and bring a joyful day. Bonus Track lyrics coming soon ...

Ground cover anchors
We will be putting down 6 ft wide black woven ground cover and wonder what is the best way to anchor it. We get a lot of wind here. In the past when we used it on a small scale we tried weighting it down with dirt but the wind kept picking it up. Do most of you use metal pins, and how long do they need to be and how far apart? Where is the best place to buy ground cover and pins? We are new at field growing flowers and appreciate any help. Thanks.
Peaceful Valley Farm Supply is a pretty good source for soil staples and fabric, at www.groworganic.com. I've always gotten mine there up until this year, when I needed no fabric and only a few staples. I just bought a few staples from Dripworks along with my drip irrigation order. I use metal ones. The ones I've always gotten from PVFS are sort of squared off on top. The ones I've just gotten from Dripworks are brand shiny smooth new, which is a drawback. They slide out of the ground too easily for my constantly windy field. So I'm only using those for drip tubing and T-tape (the wind doesn't pull on them) and using the old, rusty ones from PVFS for the woven fabric. Even with the old, rusty ones, once I'm done placing them, I find I have to go around and press the staples in with my heel, as hard as I can, or the wind will pull them out. The rusty ones don't pull out as easily as smooth new ones. I place them about every six feet, but smooth new ones have to be closer together.
I know I'm bringing up an old post but.... I recently aquired a huge roll of ground cover. Being of the frugal nature I was shocked to find the price of fabric staples. Even ordering them in bulk, the cost of shipping is ridiculous. I now make them from old wire hangers. I just let people know that I needed wire hangers, and guess what.....They seem to work ok. I make them 6 1/2 inches long. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but so far it seems to work. I know that they will rust, but apparently they stay in the ground better once they are weathered. Maybe I shouldn't call it frugal...just recycling. Heidi
Funny this subject came up...I just ordered more staples - $36/1000 plus shipping! I use Shaw Fabrics...they had the best prices, weedcloth/staples that I found last year (and this year) (including shipping). They also sent samples of the weedcloth types. I get the 6" x 1" 11 guage and space them about every 4' and sometimes in the middle of the cloth as well. But, my beds are on a hillside, so we have to use more staples or we have weedcloth everywhere.
The key is getting them in, as Jeanne mentioned. I use my heel, a rock, or a mallot, if I remember to bring it with me! And, the old ones stay in better, but the new ones are easier to put in! We always have extras sitting around the field in 2 gallon pots (that way they drain if the pot gets watered!) so we can quickly repair a path if need be.
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Shaw Fabrics
I also have a related question here. Last year I laid down the woven ground cloth and have now got miles of the plastic threads hanging off the ends. I tried folding the ends under and weighting them down with rocks which worked for a while but there again, the wind does a number and it starts to unravel. Do any of you have any suggestions as to how to prevent this. Thanks for any input. Kat
