Photos and Video: Best Coast / Vampire Weekend's Rostam / Kid Cudi
By Pitchfork on July 21, 2010 at 3:20 p.m. EDT
Last night at Music Hall of Williamsburg, Kid Cudi, Best Coast, and Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij performed their new Converse track "All Summer" together for the first time. They also performed individually-- Kid Cudi delivering a preview of his new album and Batmanglij doing a DJ set.
Our photographer Will Deitz was there. Check out a selection of shots after the jump, then head over to our photo book for a complete set of full size photos. Also, the Fader filmed the performance of "All Summer", which can be watched below as well.

On the cover art for their Converse-sponsored collaboration "All Summer", Best Coast, Kid Cudi, and Vampire Weeknd's Rostam Batmanglij all carry gigantic models of their own heads. Those big-ass heads get a serious workout in the video for the song, which otherwise depicts what looks like a pretty fun hangout session.
Watch the clip below, and download the track from the Converse website.
Listen: Best Coast/Rostam From Vampire Weekend/Kid Cudi Song
By Ryan Dombal on July 8, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. EDT
Beach bum Best Coast, tie-dye maven Rostam Batmanglij, and perpetually stoned rapper Kid Cudi fucked around and made a song together, all in the name of Converse. The seasonally appropriate "All Summer" features reverbed vocals from Best Coast about staying hydrated, rhymes from Cudi about not worrying about shit, and even some pop-punk production flourishes from Batmanglij.
Stream the song and watch a behind-the-scenes video of the artists collaborating at SPIN, and head over to Converse's site to download it starting at 2 p.m. EST now.
Best Coast, Rostam From Vampire Weekend, Kid Cudi Team Up
By Ryan Dombal on June 22, 2010 at 12:15 p.m. EDT
Next month, a new song and video featuring Best Coast, Kid Cudi, and Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij is set to be released via Converse's website. The song might be about no-frills footwear, or it might not. You will probably end up listening to it at least once if you happen to be online the day it drops. This follows in the tradition of the Julian Casablancas/Pharrell/Santigold Converse song from a few years ago.
As a teaser, watch a video from Converse featuring Best Coast talking about how she's influenced by the sun's rays below:

Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" With MGMT and Ratatat Gets Another Video
By Tom Breihan on March 11, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. EST
"Pursuit of Happiness", Kid Cudi's spaced-out MGMT/Ratatat collaboration, already had a video. It involved both Drake and slow-motion champagne spillage, and it wasn't that good.
But an alternate video for the same song made its way onto the internet earlier this week, as New York magazine points out. And hey! This one is way better! Director Megaforce brings out some gravitational weirdness that could well make you nauseous, and Ratatat actually show up in this one. Watch it below:

Happy New Year! After a two week break, Pitchfork News is back in full swing for 2010. Of course, plenty of music news happened while we were out stuffing our faces with holiday meals/lying on the beach in the tropics/partying with Girl Talk (and his house!) on New Year's Eve. Here's a round up of some notable items, including news about Trent Reznor, Feist and Jeff Tweedy, Animal Collective's Deacon, T.I., Lil Wayne, Rivers Cuomo, Julian Casablancas, the Decemberists, Michael Jackson, Mos Def and Gorillaz, Real Estate and Woods, and many more.
Kid Cudi Leaves Lady Gaga Tour

In the past year, Lady Gaga has become enormously successful in just about every way that a pop singer can be successful, but she evidently can't make this whole touring-with-rappers thing work. Earlier this year, the huge, ambitious Fame Kills tour with Kanye West was canceled for unexplained reasons. So Gaga instead booked her own Monster Ball tour, bringing along Kanye's fellow G.O.O.D. Music rapper Kid Cudi-- who sampled Gaga on his own execrable "Poke Her Face" single-- as her opener. And now Rolling Stone reports that Cudi has dropped off that tour. Maybe it's time for Gaga to call Consequence or GLC!
Video: Kid Cudi: "Pursuit of Happiness"
By Tom Breihan on December 8, 2009 at 12:15 p.m. EST
"Pursuit of Happiness" is the spacey, downbeat song that Cleveland-born, Brooklyn-based rapper Kid Cudi made with Ratatat and MGMT for his debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day.
Neither duo shows up in the video, which takes place at a party where Cudi is the only person not moving in slow motion. But we do get to watch Drake spraying champagne on girls, so that's something! Also, there's a part at the end where it looks like Cudi's about to barf, but the clip fortunately cuts off before any actual barf makes an appearance.
According to MTV, actor Josh Hartnett produced the video, which was directed by Brody Baker, the man behind Animal Collective's "My Girls" clip.

Kid Cudi Raps Over Vampire Weekend
By Tom Breihan on December 4, 2009 at 12:45 p.m. EST
He's already collaborated with MGMT and Ratatat and big-upped Band of Horses, so it's no surprise to find even more evidence that Cleveland upstart rapper Kid Cudi is an indie rock head, on his new track "Cudderisback".
There's still a pleasant frisson to hearing Cudi rapping over the skeletal intro to "Ottoman", Vampire Weekend's baroque power pop jam from the Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist soundtrack, if only because we never expected to hear anyone tell haters to suck their balls on a Vampire Weekend song. (Not that Ezra Koenig wouldn't appreciate the sentiment.)
Head over to Hypebeast to cop the download. Thanks to Jordan Landry Graves and Dennis McNamara for the tip.

Parents if you want to raise money for your kids school, some parents in Denver tried something new and it made a bunch of money.
The Mexican Bulldog is different because it contains a bottle of Corona, which sits upside-down in the glass.
As any parent knows Disney World can be a stressful environment. Let's be honest after a couple hours of you and your kids running around the park, you could use a drink to relax. Now alcohol has been available at all the other parks except for one and after 41 years Disney will be bringing alcohol to the Magic Kingdom.
In what has to be the creepiest anti-drinking ad ever, this PSA in Finland really shows how scary it is for kids to be around parents when they are drinking.
So you're at the house, the liquor stores are closed, and all you have left for some reason is a five dollar handle of Taaka. Since you're no longer a freshman in college, you're not really willing to stoop to that low, and thanks to science you no longer have to
Over the past couple years, we've seen a proliferation of uniquely flavored liquors that have drawn the ire and criticism of party poopers who say booze companies are targeting the underage. The latest flavor will definitely be a hit with brown baggers.

Let the stock holders complain that the value of their shares aren't going up enough. Then kindly point out that they are still going up. Explain to them that offering the highest quality product is and will always be what makes a successful business. This business model not only made Disney the only media company with its own fan club (I never heard of the Paramount expo) but this same philosophy of uncompromising quality has also worked for other companies like Apple. Explain to them that the entire Disney empire was built on the philosophy of quality and attention to detail above all else. Tell them that this attention to making sure every detail is as perfect as it can be is what sets this company above all its competitors. This is the company they have chosen to invest in. One that will not compromise on quality in order to make a quick buck. One that greatly increased the cost of producing a short cartoon by adding sound when few features were doing the same. This is the company that built it's own school to study things like how fabric moved and what bubbles looked like when they popped to make the animated versions of these things look better. It would have been cheaper not to invest in that research and just draw these things how you think they move. It also would have been cheaper not to do it at all. This company isn't about doing things cheaper, it is about doing them better. It is about doing them so well that once they are done people wonder how they ever got along without them. The the philosophy of exceeding expectations always has been and will continue to be the guiding principle of everything the company does.
Then have your two backup animatronics ready to be switched out at a moments notice and have all your guests telling their friends that Walt Disney World blew them away and everything was beyond perfect. Watch what that does to share prices.

Obomzie jumps …
After listening to the President's National Prayer Breakfast speech where he lamely tried to find any way possible that he could point a finger of blame at Christianity instead of keeping his attention focused firmly on the islamist terrorists that make up Daesh (aka ISIS), I was struck by the notion that I had seen someone attempt to pull an equally lame stunt as a means of trying to remain relevant.
It took me a few minutes, but then I remembered back in 1977 a once promising TV show was running out of ideas and struggled to find a way to keep viewers interested. To keep the story moving along, the writers had one of the key characters accept a challenge from the "California Kid." As a result, Aurthur Herbert threw on his leather jacket, strapped on the skis, and little Opie Cunningham fired up the ski boat. Little did they know they would ensure the end of their hit show soon after while also creating one of the Interwebz most enduring memes.
So I took a few minutes and whipped up a commemorative graphic for the President's big speech.
By reaching back over 900 years into history to find something (anything!!!) with which he could tar the Christian faith (and conveniently ignoring the fact that the Crusades were undertaken as a defensive reaction against 400+ years of Muslim aggression across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe), our President latched on to that same tenuous grip on relevancy that the Fonz had as he entered the water and jumped the shark.
Thank you, Mr. President for confirming to one and all your complete lack of connection with the real world.
To steal a quote from your 2008 debate with Mitt Romney, "the 11th Century is now calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

About the ManufacturerThe Ciatti family has been managing the company that bears its name from the fifties, promoting the expansion of the business that is still thriving today for three generations. Its debut dates back to 1950 when the first manufacturing plant was opened. Initially focusing almost entirely on the production of cabinets for radios and record players, after a few years the company started to specialize in the manufacture of stands for televisions and in 1985, well ahead of time, added computer cabinets to its portfolio further expanding its range in the years that followed. The quality of its products, its competitive prices, the choice of a packaging aimed at establishing a direct communication with consumers and fast deliveries have enabled it not only to maintain but also to consolidate its market leadership.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) took the wraps off its own mobile mapping service and made its enhanced Siri voice-search available for iPads as it rolled out souped-up software and hardware on Monday to help it wage war on Google Inc (GOOG.O).
CEO Tim Cook, who took over from late co-founder Steve Jobs last August, spearheaded the unveiling of new services -- such as in-house mapping and beefed-up Siri software -- to help keep at bay Google and its fast-growing Android mobile platform.
Its new mobile operating software -- the iOS6 -- comes with a mapping system "built from the ground up," said software chief Scott Forstall, sidelining the Google map service that the Internet giant has invested heavily in.
Apple's map service comes with three-dimensional images of cities called "Flyover" along with real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation.
And Siri, the innovative voice-activated iPhone search-feature users have criticized as faulty and inadequate, is now available on iPads and recites a larger database of answers, especially sports, restaurants and movies. It is also integrated into the new mapping service.
Finally, executives said Apple has integrated No. 1 social network Facebook (FB.O) deeper into the operating system, allowing Siri-users to post photos with voice commands.
Long lines marked the beginning of the week-long annual Worldwide Developers' Conference, where Apple developers rub shoulders with employees, test the latest products and software, and connect with peers. Apple kicked off proceedings by touting its hardware, its biggest edge over Google.
At 0.7 inches, the new MacBook Pro -- Apple's highest-end laptop -- ranks among the thinnest laptops in the market and will hit store shelves months before many Microsoft (MSFT.O) Windows-equipped "Ultrabooks." They will employ the "retina" displays that have won strong positive reviews for the new iPad, but start at an eye-popping $2,199 price tag.
Marketing chief Phil Schiller outlined how the redesigned MacBook Air notebooks, also unveiled at the conference, will be about $100 cheaper on average than predecessors, but sport quicker Intel Corp (INTC.O) processors, potentially eating into territory staked out by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ.N), Dell Inc DELL.O and other PC makers.
Analysts have speculated that the company will begin aggressively competing on price, gradually shrinking the premium its Macs carry in general.
More than ever, Apple finds itself in a pitched battle with Google: in smartphones, cloud computing, and a never-ending competition to attract the best software developers. That is crucial as Apple looks to draw users deeper into its applications ecosystem.
Cook told the audience that customers have downloaded more than 30 billion Apple apps so far, choosing from more than 650,000 apps -- the largest library in the industry.
Battling in many arenas, the rivals employ different weapons. Apple's vise-like grip on its ecosystem - with the closely managed app store and its seamless integration with the hardware - stands in sharp contrast to Google's free-for-all approach.
The open system approach, reminiscent of Microsoft Corp's hugely successful strategy of creating standard-setting software that runs on a variety of hardware, has allowed Android to capture the market lead in smartphones, albeit with nothing close to Apple's profit margins.
Android has also helped create several potent hardware rivals to Apple. Samsung Electronics' Android-driven Galaxy SIII is drawing favorable comparisons to iPhone and Amazon.com Inc's cheaper Kindle Fire is challenging Apple in tablets and digital content.
The move - years in the making - to replace Google Maps is a dramatic example of how the rivalry between the companies has been evolving.
Google has invested huge sums in mapping technology over the years, and about half its map traffic now comes from iPhones and iPads. Among other things, the traffic from those devices reveals valuable location data that helps improve the mapping service and provides features like real-time traffic reports.

There is an intranet based ASP.NET application that is deployed to a server (IIS) and a group of clients (about ten). The end user can then decide to either connect to the local application (deployed to their local machine) or the server version. I do not understand the reasoning for doing this. My question is: is this common practice?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
yes, it is a common practice to verify the performance of the application. Each client will have their own settings and as per process, application should not break in any kind of environment. it is always beneficial to put a server version and a local version.
If the clients are laptops, and the application supports disconnected data sets and synchronization, it would make sense. Typically you'd see something like this when the client machines are taken off-network to be used at a remote work site.

House Passes Revenue Bill, Delays Budget Vote
The Kentucky House of Representatives has agreed on a bill to raise some taxes, but hasn't yet voted on a new, two-year state budget.
The clock is ticking as House lawmakers study a slate of budget bills that require passage before the end of the session on April 15.
The chamber approved a bill that would raise the state's gasoline tax by 2%, tax instant horse racing, and fix an issue with the way library districts are funded.
But lawmakers delayed a vote on the House's version of Gov. Steve Beshear's $20.3 billion budget. House Majority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins says the body will vote on three budget bills today to fund the legislative, executive and judicial branches of state government.
"We feel like we've got a good document, and like I said, this will give members more time to look at the budget bill itself, and it will also give us time to make sure the I's are dotte and the T's are crossed," he said.
The house draft of Beshear proposal will spend an additional $40 million across many areas, including more funding for state prosecutors and pay raises for state government employees, but it reduces spending on textbooks for low-income students by about $10 million.

When taking into consideration your contents insurance protection, its imperative to keep in mind that
Tips For Household Insurance Assessment If you are in the market for household insurance, you ought decide what manner of insurance you should have with start to compare home insurance quotes. It's easy to evaluate a load of contents insurance comparisons online since most insurance agencies and brokers make themselves easily accessible via website. This simplifies your job of finding satisfactory household insurance agencies. Gathering quotes from various companies may prove beneficial since the rates will vary from company to company. There are many impressive insurance companies available so don't think like you have to compromise your insurance policy to find reasonable prices. Select a Hausratversicherung plan that will meet all of your personal insurance needs. Seeking household insurance protection for your personal wealth can have lots of benefits. Many people and renters possess a erroneous sense of safety and suppose that they don't have to to insure their wealth since they dwell in a safe neighborhood. You might trust your neighbors although you ought forever defend your investments regardless of someplace you live. Contents insurance will similarly defend your home with contents in the incident of a natural disaster or accidents. www.kosten-hausratversicherung.de Losing every one of your worldly belongings might be a horrifying incident and coming up with the principal to restore these belongings might prove even worse. The charge of household insurance cannot compare to the stress with misfortune of having to replace whatever thing that you have. When taking into consideration your contents insurance protection, it's imperative to keep in mind that not all household insurance policies provide the same type of protection. Contents insurance policies and residential protection policies provide different categories of protection. Many homeowners expect their possessions to be covered by their policy when they should really be in the market for contents insurance coverage. While you evaluate contents protection, take into account that there are several ranges of insurance offered with different types of contents protection. If taking into account the cost of household insurance, the most pricey policy will not protect each and every one of the possessions inside of your home. Other contents insurance policies will only cover the most valuable possessions in your home. If you find yourself not sure of what type of protection you need for the possessions of your house, obtain protection for everything that you can manage to pay for. If you can't afford to protect all possessions in your home, request a policy that covers the most costly or most imperative items you have. The procedure of contents protection comparison is not as hard as it looks. Take the time to evaluate all of your choices and be reasonable with yourself about what you can afford to insure. Don't pay for expensive household insurance since you assume that it will protect whatever thing in your home since the factor this is not always the truth. Be sure you ascertain the reimbursement scheme including whether or not the insurance company will reimburse you the full amount you paid for the lost items. These are merely a little of the situations to consider when choosing contents protection policies. Make certain you conduct a intensive home insurance comparison to uncover the most reasonable as well as helpful policy for your needs. Hausratversicherung

Lagerstroemia indica (Red Rocket Crape Myrtle)
Hello. I'm a long-time reader, but new poster--and in need of some good advice.
In our upward slopping, south facing backyard, we have a modestly moist section from a small natural spring. From my research and desire to plant a flowering tree that doesn't get too tall, I'm interested in the Red Rocket Crape Myrtle. I know that most crape myrtles need hardiness zone 7 or higher. However, I've read that the red rocket was engineered to handle zone 6--we are in zone 6a in Southeast Michigan. BUT, there are a couple of websites that say zone 7 for this tree. Can anyone please provide me with your insights and/or experience with this tree in zone 6. Thanks!
It'll die back to the ground but resprout in the spring (possible early summer). Crape myrtles don't begin to leaf out until temperatures at night are in the upper 60s and 70s. The question is, will the tree have time to grow back to where its significant enough to take the time for before the next frost kills it to the ground again? I'd recommend growing one in a large pot and brining it in during winter. Heading off the leader so it does not grow too large to bring in.
I've heard stories of them growing in NYC, so microclimates are important. The retained heat from the city concrete allows then to survive winter.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Clementhorpe is Greater Albion's latest project. It's based on some 'found' lettering (about a dozen letters in all) in an early 1900's enamel advertisment for chocolate. A sampling of work to date is shown below. All feedback greatfully received...
I think a lot of the forms are very appealing, and I definitely think the style and feel of the original translates nicely.
My issues with it involve some of the vertical strokes, especially on the lowercase. A lot of them just seem too thick and weight the letter one way or the other, like with the "p." I'm also not a big fan of the "S," I think the upward bulge in the bottom curve is just a bit much.
These are the first impressions of a novice typophile, so take them for what they're worth. A well-executed revival, I say!
Here's the latest update on Clementhorpe-quite a bit of progress:
The LC z looks...awkward. And the quote marks need a bit more of the "hand-brushed" feel that you have going throughout the rest of the characters. I really like the leg of your UC R though. That's pretty!
Actually-the quote marks re a mistake-the actual ones aren't done yet and my proof document has added in default ones! On reflection I think know what you mean about the 'z'..... I'm still trying to decide what to do with that one. Thnks for the comments :)
Here's the latest progress on the Clementhorpe family:

Smudge Pot! I just realized what it was
What it was that bothered me about this.
Mother Theresa.
Mother Theresa.
What did she say about going to an anti-war rally?
I will never attend an anti-war rally; if you have a peace rally, invite me.
Now - is that a real quote or not? I have no idea - I found it on the internet. I lean towards yes, but ultimately whether she ever said it not, she's right!
Antiwar is a good wedge. I agree. But what are you for?
And how do you sell what you're for?
It is all a big marketing campaign. Beauty pageant. Product launch. It is the Selling of the President.
(I wish I could say I've read that book, but I haven't and I hope the opportunity arises that I can read it.)
I have to think about how I'd feel about selling a negative. A double negative. Anti-War. Why not just a positive?
Why not shower them with Love instead.
If for no other reason than no one has ever, or will ever attempt it - if not for the Merry Pranksters of the Daily Paul.
Unite behind the issue of Love, then turn the love hose on, spigot wide open. I mean tap into the universal source of love, and see if we can direct it, and use it to put out those raging fires of hatred in most people's hearts?

Create a natural looking clock using Becca Malone's easy steps. It gives it a bit of an earthy feel with the surrounding leaves.
- STYROFOAM Brand Foam:
- Ball, 5"
- Block or sheet scrap
- Acrylic paint: black; dark brown; gray; white
- Premixed tile grout
- Clean, fine play sand
- Found naturals: twigs; leaves; moss; shells; stones
- Artificial "naturals": mushrooms; insects
- Small, battery-operated clock
- Fine-line black permanent marker
- Ruler
- Metal tablespoon
- Plastic cling wrap
- Rubber gloves
- Acetone
- Cotton balls
- Medium flat paintbrush
- Disposable palette
- Water basin
- Paper towels
- Hacksaw or coping saw
- Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks
- Thick, white craft glue
- Cover work surface with plastic wrap. To keep ball from rolling, slightly flatten bottom of foam ball against tabletop. Apply thick layer of tile grout to ball, and then roll ball in clean, dry play sand, pressing sand into grout. Place ball on plastic wrap to dry. Brush off excess sand. Repeat.
- Paint ball with a combination of black, white, and dark brown acrylic paints, creating a stone look. While wet, roll ball in sand again. Let dry; brush off excess sand.
- Use hacksaw to cut ball in half, noting position of flattened bottom of ball.
- Wearing rubber gloves and working in outdoor or well-ventilated indoor area, saturate a cotton ball with acetone. Use cotton ball to apply acetone to center of each half-ball, dissolving foam; leave perimeter intact. Repeat as needed. Note: For Clock Geode, dissolve foam from top half of foam ball only; do not dissolve foam from bottom half.
Nature Geode
- Mix gray acrylic paint with water to create wash. Paint inside walls of geode; let dry.
- Use glue gun to adhere small, natural found objects inside bottom half of geode. Glue additional accents inside geode as desired.
Clock Geode
- Use metal spoon to carefully remove a 1/4"-thick layer of foam from bottom half of geode. Use scrap foam to sand surface smooth.
- Remove any decorative knobs or feet from clock. Trace clock face onto center of bottom half of geode. Use spoon to remove enough foam to accommodate clock. Sand opening edges with scrap foam.
- Wrap clock in two layers of plastic wrap, pulling tightly and tying excess film over clock face. Note: Film will protect face of clock and provide grip for removing clock later.
- Place clock in opening, twisting to be sure it is loose enough to be easily removed; replace clock in opening. Paint any visible foam around clock with water-thinned tile grout; let dry. Repeat. Remove clock; touch-up opening as needed.
- Mix gray acrylic paint with water to create wash. Paint inside walls of geode halves; let dry. Touch up outer geode surfaces as needed.
- Remove plastic wrap from clock, insert batteries, set clock and insert into opening. Use glue gun to adhere small, natural found objects into lid or around clock as desired.

'I have to try and keep my cool,' the singer/songwriter told MTV News about her excitement over boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's new movie.
Katniss Everdeen might be the girl who set Gale Hawthorne's heart ablaze, but the man who plays the heroine's fellow District 12 denizen — Australian actor Liam Hemsworth — has a love life sparked by a different flame.
We're talking about none other than Hemsworth's longtime girlfriend Miley Cyrus, of course, who hit the "Hunger Games" world premiere in Los Angeles on Monday (March 12) in full force to support her boyfriend's work on the film. Though Miley herself isn't a well-studied "Hunger Games" fan, she has some good reasons to have stayed away from the source material until the big premiere.
"I've only read through them with Liam when he was working on [the movie]," Cyrus told MTV News about her familiarity with the "Hunger Games" books. "I tried to keep it pretty separate and not turn myself into too much of a fan. But it's going to be hard probably; after watching this film, I'm going to be dying to see the next two. But I have to try and keep my cool!"
But even without having read the "Hunger Games," Cyrus can't entirely escape the fanfare surrounding the Gary Ross-directed movie. Even she has a specific scene she can't wait to see — and surprisingly, it has absolutely nothing to do with Liam.
"There's this scene with [lead actress Jennifer Lawrence] when she comes out in this amazing dress when they present her; that's the one thing I know," said Cyrus, referring to Katniss' famous "girl on fire" appearance. "I know [the whole movie] is not about that, but I can't wait to see that part! I'm dying over it already. I know that's the silliest girl thing and nobody is probably looking forward to that dress except me."
Cyrus is definitely not the only person looking forward to the girl on fire, but despite her budding fandom, don't expect the "Hannah Montana" star to catch fire herself anytime soon. When asked, Cyrus said there's very little chance that fans will see her in "Catching Fire" or "Mockingjay," the planned follow-ups to this year's "Hunger Games."
"I don't think so," she answered when asked about whether or not she'd appear in a sequel. "I don't think so!"
Source: MTV.com
Why all the Miley Cyrus hate out there?
Talk to anyone who's worked with the starlet and they'll tell you…
She's not the irresponsible wild child that so many want to believe.
"I have to say I had a couple of great conversations with her," Gina Gershon, who worked with Cyrus in the upcoming indie comedy LOL, told me the other day at South by Southwest. "I felt she was grounded and smart and very down to earth…She has a good head on her shoulders. So she's out having a good time. How old is she?"
LOL, about a girl navigating high school, costars Twilight's Ashley Greene and Demi Moore.
While LOL may be teen-friendly, Gershon's SXSW flick, Killer Joe, is something quite different. The black comedy, also starring Matthew McConaughey and Emile Hirsch, was slapped with an NC-17 rating last month. They're appealing to try to get an R in time for its summer release.
"I hope it doesn't have an NC-17 because I really want people to see it," Gershon said. "People just need to know it's a very intense R. It's a very intense, emotional and visceral film."

Australian hunk Liam Hemsworth admits that having his brother Chris Hemsworth and girlfriend Miley Cyrus does help when it comes to navigating Hollywood. But he is quick to point out that this does not make it easier to get roles.
"It's definitely nice to have people around me like [my brother] and my girlfriend, who have experienced it before," said Liam on an interview for Flaunt magazine.
"To ask them questions, it definitely makes it easier in that sense. It doesn't make it any easier getting roles. It's just me in the room when I'm meeting directors and reading with directors."
The younger Hemsworth follows the lead of his brother Chris, who gained international popularity playing the Norse god/superhero "Thor."
Liam first gained international exposure after starring opposite Miley Cyrus in the romantic movie the "The Last Song". Prior to his movie with Cyrus, Liam appeared in the hit Australian soap opera, "Neighbours" as Josh Taylor.
But having a brother and a girlfriend who are famous in their own right does not guarantee a steady flow of work for Liam. In fact, he was recently cut out of the second installment of "The Expendables".
"I got a call from [Sylvester] Stallone… It was a really surreal moment. Two weeks later, we found out that the script got rewritten."
But it's not all bad news for the 22-year-old actor. He will be next seen in the film adapation of "The Hunger Games" as Gale Hawthorne who appears in three novels in the series. Liam will also play Ali Baba in "Arabian Nights," set for release in 2014.

'The Hunger Games' star opens up about taking care of his girl when she is attacked by the media and fans — he's the most supportive boyfriend ever!
Liam Hemsworth is madly in love with Miley Cyrus, and now he's talking about how he takes care of her when she faces her countless critics!
Liam, 22, took to syndicated radio program The Bert Show and ended up speaking about Miley, 19, and how he helps her dodge irate fans.
"We have a pretty supportive relationship," he said. "We're always supportive of each other's careers and we both know how we feel about each other. We have a great support system."
He also spoke about how he got involved with Miley initially.
"We met on The Last Song and it's still going," he said. "I think going into it, it wasn't the goal for that to happen but we just got closer and closer through the shoot and it just kind of happened."
Miley Cyrus is once again tangling with the paparazzi. The young starlet, who doesn't seem to catch a break when it comes to the tabloid photographers, was being photographed on Saturday. With the publicity around the former Hannah Montana star, it isn't any doubt she sometimes finds people are too close, especially when hauling around the cameras.
"Today I told a paparazzi to get a real job and he said you too. Hahahahahaha," wrote Miley Cyrus on her official Twitter stream."
The fans response to the star has always been supportive. "That's sad," wrote one fan in response while another commented that "some people really suck." Miley Cyrus is known to be a huge draw for the paparazzi, the entertainer doesn't seem to get a break and her audience knows it. In response to her getting hassled the fans definitely shared how much they love Cyrus, no matter what she gets told by the older people professional stalking her.
One of the reasons why Miley Cyrus is so popular with the tabloids is she currently isn't in any major shows or movies. A lull in her career timing, the photographers follower her around to see if they can show what she is doing during her regular daily life.

Anthurium fertilizer
I have been giving my anthurium a 24-8-16 fertilizer, I water weekly - weakly. I have just bought some orchid fertilizer 19-31-17 for my orchids and was wondering if my anthurium may like that better? I have lots of healthy foliage but no blooms since I bought it (in bloom) almost a year ago.
Patti, the first fertilizer you were feeding your Anthurium with is very high nitrogen, therefore, it helps leaf production, but not flowering. Switch to a fertilizer with a higher middle number. 5-10-5, 10-15-10, etc.
What color are its flowers.
Anthuriums need bright light to bloom..not direct summer sun. And as much humidity as you can provide..
One other thing..Depending on where you live, if you're in a cool/cold climate, Anthuriums don't need fertilizer during cloudy, winter months.
It's possible you have a summer flowering Anthurium, though some types bloom year round. Did you buy yours in winter? Toni
I read quite a few posts when I first got it and many people said theirs bloom year round so I just assumed mine should too if it was happy. Thanks for the info on the fertilizer, I water everything with one fertilizer so maybe that explains why my orchids and Christmas cactus have lots of healthy foliage and no blooms either, lol! I will definitely not do that anymore.
The anthurium had red blooms, it's the standard variety that they sell at all the big box stores, I bought it July 15th so I guess it hasn't been a year yet, it just seems like I've had it forever and it is my favorite plant and the most healthy, aside from not blooming. I have it in a West window but I'm in Canada so there's not alot of strength to the sun and in the winter it doesn't get more than a hour or two of full sun every day as we don't get alot of overcast days here. I will pull it back from the window this summer and stop fertilizing in the winter. Thanks a million!
It's probably more a light issue than a fertilizer issue. Some additional artificial light would probably not hurt, especially given the season and your location.
I am supplementing most of my other plants, I just started this week and my small Thanksgiving cactus is already budding and blooming after only a few days in front of a couple CFLs. I haven't put one on the Anthurium yet as it's in a different room but I think I might try that too along with the different fertilizer.
When I pot it up in the spring could I pot it in sphagnum or am I better off with potting soil? Right now it's tight in the pot and almost all roots, I still have it double potted because it came that way.
It is probably a matter of light, temperature, or maturity, but not fertilizer. Studies have shown that the majority of plant species take up N-P-K in approximately a 3:1:2 ratio, so your 24-8-16 is perfect. High phosphorus fertilizers (so-called bloom boosting formulas) are made only because of the demand created by the common misconception that high phosphorus levels increase blooming. No plant on earth (blooming or not) has ever been found to use more phosphorus than nitrogen or potassium. So the middle number should always be the smallest. High phosphorus fertilizers can even be detrimental because the excess phosphorus will never be used and simply increases the likelihood of fertilizer burn if it is not flushed out regularly.
Also, any plant that is growing should be fertilized, regardless of the season. Dormant plants do not need fertilizer, but will not be harmed by a light dose as long as they are flushed regularly.
Here is a whole lot of information on fertilizing if you care to know more.
Patti, everyone made good points, and of course, we all care for our plants as we see fit..
The only plants that gets a low dose of fertilizer from Feb to Oct are my Geraniums..they're in south windows placed under 'artificial' light. 5 hours plus per night.
Since your leaves are healthy, vibrant green, obviously your Anthurium is getting sufficient nitrogen. But if you would like to see flowers, too, I suggest using a flowering-type fertilizer in addition to artificial light.
Patti, IL has little sun in winter, similiar to Canada. So in order for our plants to make it through 'this boring season' we need to suppliment light, humidity, and adequate watering.
So, for the time being, if you place your Anthurium under lights and/or closer to the brightest window, you should see flowers. I'd start fertilizing w/a flowering fert, half-strength in late Feb early March. Daily misting and weekly showering increase humidity and keep leaves clean..'if you see buds, stop spraying.' Humidifers are very helpful for plants, people and pets.
One thing I do 'w/certin plants' is, alternate feedings..Especially with Orchids and Bird of Paradise. One feeding they get an All-Purpose food, the second feeding 'Flowering food.' Throughout their growing season. Determining whether or not your plant should be fertilized is, once a plant stops sending out new growth, they're ready for a nap. Dormancy depends on the type of plant and climate.
One more thing..Anthuriums are more likely to bloom when rootbound, so unless roots are growiing out of drainage holes and on top of soil, it's best keeping them in the same container. Good luck, Toni
I live in Wisconsin and recieved my Anthurium for a birthday gift in July. When I recieved my lovely plant it had the beautiful red blooms. The friend that gave it to me purchased it from Wal-mart where we all know they are inside in air conditioning. My plant bloomed for a VERY short time. I recently went to the dr's where they had one in a small pot on the counter which had blooms. Do you think its the florecent lights? I know these places are not humid or 80 degrees nor do they recieve natural light. PLEASE oh PLEASE give me some advice other than setting a space heater or a humidifier (spelling)...its coming on summer time and well my house is hot enough LOL
Hello Kristi..What day is your b-day? Mine is the 11th.
The thing about Walmart and other big box stores..plants, even blooming plants sit on a shelf for a short time. Because Walmart's prices are cheaper than say, Home Depot, their plants go fast.
Anthurium flowers should last several months. I bought an Anthurium from Walmart about five years ago.. 3.00! It bloomed about 8 months.
Anthuriums like to be slightly pot-bound. Start using a flowering fertilizer or alternate, All-Purpose one month then Flowering Fertililzer the second month.
Is your Anthurium under lights without natural sun? Although they don't need direct sun, they prefer bright light. Additional florescent light will benefit.
Since you've had it 10 months, you're probably watering right.
More sun, plus artificial, and a flowering fertilizer should produce blooms.
Mist leaves daily, 'for humidity,' and place on a pebble tray..You don't have to run out and spend a fortune. Place stones/marbles on the bottom of a saucer, set the pot on top, and add a little water inside the saucer w/stones. Also, take to the sink and hose leaves, without hitting soil, once a week or so.
Depending on type, some Anthuriums are, or seem to be, winter bloomers. My A, Crystal blooms from Nov/Dec into spring. Then stop. Toni
Many nurserys treat their plants with Gibberellic acid to induce and enhance flowering. Once that works its way out of the plants system it may need a recovery period, so to speak, to return to it's natural cycle of flowering which is also effected by the light, temperature and humidity.
Plants like anthuriums and spathiphyllum and many others do not flower all the time, only for a couple of months a year, some hybrids may have been bred to flower more then that but still, not all the time.
It's been a year and a half since I made the original post and my anthurium looks great, aside from a couple small holes in a few leaves. It looks like something is eating it, I sprayed it with soap last night and am going to wash each leaf (both sides) today and maybe spray it again in a few days.
I supplemented the western exposure with a couple CFLs in the winter and I continued with the weekly, weakly fertilizer and flush it beforehand each time. I have been rotating the fertizer between the 3 that I have on hand but it usually gets orchid fertizer. I don't let it dry out and keep it more on the moist side. Once it finally bloomed it has kept blooming, not alot but a constant 2-4 blooms. It is still in the same double pot but I did trim the roots a little and added some sphag to the top and bottom.
I will take a picture and post it as soon as I finish washing the leaves.
Here's a pic of the plant, hopefully this works - if not my apologies...
I know this is an old thread but I'd just like to state a few things. Flowering anthuriums do not need to be root-bound. They actually grow bigger when given enough space for their roots to fill. Here, in Trinidad, they are sometimes grown in the ground under the shade of a tree. Special bloom inducing fertilizer is not needed. Any general fertilizer will do. There are no special blooming periods. Plants in good health will bloom perpetually. Most importantly, they must receive adequate light, but never direct sun, in order to bloom.
The bloom cycle of most plants is controlled by photo-period, more specifically night length - not day length, so most plants, even if maintained in perfect health, won't bloom perpetually. I also think that being a little more scientific about fertilizer choice offers the grower more than hope that they are choosing something that isn't inherently limiting when selecting a fertilizer. All fertilizers aren't created equal.
Trini is quite correct in that most Anthuriums in the market place are basically ever blooming. They will bloom all year if the conditions are right. So will Spathiphyllums and African Violets, just to name a couple of other houseplants. These plants will perform without special lighting.
