Comics, Stories and the Lexicon
30 Dez 2009 · De byronbalsagoth.blogspot.com/ · Adicionar comentárioBal-Sagoth the band is just one facet of the vast and far reaching world of these stories. The lyrics of the six albums are reflections of a much larger and more intricate body of work, and only a relatively small part of that has thus far been revealed in the lyric booklets. As I originally intended, the chronicles of this baroque fantasy world will ultimately encompass such things as prose short stories, graphic novels, illustrated books, and more. Additionally, the forthcoming revised and expanded edition of my Glossary (called "The Lexicon") will provide readers with unprecedented information on all aspects of the lyrical mythos. The lyrics of the Bal-Sagoth hexalogy can be read at www.bal-sagoth.com, www.bal-sagoth.co.uk and www.byron-a-roberts.co.uk.
This is the map detailing the world in which the antediluvian era stories take place.
Soon to be appearing in comics and short stories is my character CAYLEN-TOR, who first appeared in the lyrics of the second BAL-SAGOTH album. This character has proven to be a fan favourite over the years, and his adventures are set to continue soon. Here is a selection of illustrations featuring Caylen-Tor, beginning with my original character sketch upon which all subsequent renditions were based.
And here is a larger picture of the awesome version by Samuel Santos (which is now featured as a t-shirt print available from merchandisers Razamataz):
Here is a collection of illustrations featuring The King of Hyperborea. Included here are my two original character sketches, featuring the King both as an older, bearded warrior and also as a younger man, followed by a selection of great pieces by Martin Hanford, Simon Lee and Samuel Santos. "Ride them down!"
And here is a great sketch by Samuel Santos depicting my character Lord Angsaar, the Dark Liege of Chaos.
And this is the original preliminary rough sketch of the Lord Angsaar painting which appears in the limited edition digipak release of "The Power Cosmic". Artwork by Martin Hanford:
Here's a great illustration by Martin Hanford of my character Professor Caleb Blackthorne III:

Thoughts from the Sanctum Sanctorum of Bal-Sagoth
9 Mar 2009 · De byronbalsagoth.blogspot.com/ · Adicionar comentárioFollow @Byron_Roberts
Piracy on the Digital Seas
People often assume that Bal-Sagoth sell countless thousands of albums and make lots of money. I'm afraid the truth of the matter is somewhat different. We've never sold large numbers of albums; this is simply too much of a niche market to be truly financially successful. And that's the way it should be. Bal-Sagoth was always intended to be an obscure and underground kind of band anyway, so I've always been happy with our "minority appeal" status. We never really sought to make money from this hobby, but by the same token, we don't want to lose money either. On a day to day basis, I'm in contact with a lot of bands, record companies and promoters. And the message from all is the same. Record sales are down across the board. Gig attendances are dropping. The music industry is in a state of flux, and must adapt to survive. The twenty-first century's "something for nothing" culture proliferates. It's a culture in which people want their music, their movies and their games for free. And that's something which will cripple the entertainment industry in the long run if left unchecked. If bands don't make any money from their albums, they'll be forced to stop making them. Even legal downloads through valid channels pale into insignificance next to the vast plague of illegal downloading, file sharing, and the like. All this might not affect the big bands in any truly noticable capacity, but when you're a niche band which sells very few albums anyway, the consequences of piracy and buyer apathy can be devastating. Of course, all this isn't really a new thing, but the scale of it is. In the old days, people bought an LP, and then maybe made a cassette copy for their friends, and then swapped it via the old tape trading network. But these days, with the rise of digital technology and the internet, a song and an album can be copied and shared throughout the world in a matter of seconds, and rather than getting a poor quality third generation analogue copy, you can have a pristine digital copy of crystal clarity delivered to your hard drive in the blink of an eye. You can even print out the album cover, burn the album onto a CDR, and at the click of a mouse button, print a label for the disc, too. All instead of buying the album. So no, we never sold multitudes of albums in the old days, and we sure aren't doing so now. Add to that the fact that even our t-shirts are being bootlegged by dishonourable and nefarious sources, and you have an industry in which many musicians are finding it increasingly impossible to find a viable platform from which to actually create art for their legitimate fans.
Will there be any further BAL-SAGOTH albums?
To be quite honest, the question of subsequent Bal-Sagoth albums is something that has not yet been decided. Obviously all the core members of the band would have to agree to proceed with any further albums, and the reasons for proceeding would have to be right. One thing is certain: the hexalogy is complete, and the first phase of Bal-Sagoth is certainly over. But that doesn't mean there will never be any more Bal-Sagoth albums. I'm not prepared to close that particular door forever just yet. And yet perhaps the legacy is complete, sacrosanct, and should remain untainted. You'll soon see the various members of the band going on to new, exciting side projects. And as for subsequent Bal-Sagoth albums... well, I've got all the lyrics, stories and artwork already prepared for such a venture. So, maybe one day... if the stars align...
Why doesn't BAL-SAGOTH play many gigs?
It is very difficult to recreate this material accurately in the live environment. The music of Bal-Sagoth is so multi-layered and intricate that there is really no way in which we can genuinely translate the songs live to a truly satisfactory extent. Some of the other guys in the band are okay with this constant compromise in their desire to continually play shows, but it has always vexed me, particularly when we attempt to play the more complex songs.
Additionally, I have always felt that when a band plays live, much of the magic and the mystique which is contained on an album is generally lost. No matter how good the show might be, the very act of playing live often demystifies a band and brings them back down to a mundane and earthly level; such are the limitations of the technology and the very medium itself.
I'd also like to add that it takes a lot of preparation and logistical planning for us to undertake shows. Rehearsals have to be arranged, tranport has to be coordinated and band members have to take time off from work. The low gig fees and shirt sales from shows often simply do not make all that expenditure worthwhile.
Additionally, we don't have our own sound man, so we are constantly forced to rely on the sound engineers available at whatever venue we might be playing, and those sound engineers invariably have no idea as to what this band should sound like in the live environment. Even if we're afforded a thorough sound check during which to educate the sound men as to the band's nature, the levels and monitor mixes always end up wildly incorrect.
All in all, the live realm is certainly not the ideal platform from which to showcase the artistic vision of Bal-Sagoth.
So basically, those are the reasons why this band doesn't play live very often.
How did BAL-SAGOTH start?
How did the band start? This question has been asked so many times over the years, so here's the definitive version for the archives! Here you will find out about the origin of both the concept and the band itself. I came up with the idea and concept for Bal-Sagoth many years ago (around 1989), and had tried unsuccessfully to start it up with a succession of different musicians. Unfortunately, it was the era of socially aware thrash metal, and nobody was at all interested in commiting to a fantasy oriented black/death metal project. I was determined to start the project however, and continued my attempts to find musicians who might be interested in the idea. Then, a guy I knew called Mac, who had played guitar in a prominent local thrash band called Systematic Insanity, asked me if I wanted to jam with some guys he'd met. They were only playing Metallica and Napalm Death covers in their bedroom (in an old manor house which had once been a lunatic asylum), but they were interested in starting a serious band. So, I went and met the Maudling brothers Jonny and Chris (Jonny Maudling had previously been in a thrash band called Igniter, playing the regional pubs and clubs) and also Jason Porter, and we jammed some stuff. Unfortunately however, I really wasn't interested in playing the kind of material that they were into, so I figured it just wasn't going to work out. Jonny and Chris weren't at all familiar with black metal, and also Mac didn't like the fantasy/mythology concept I had in mind for the band, or the name "Bal-Sagoth". Mac wanted to do a sort of thrash/death metal band with contemporary socio-political lyrical topics. He was also, at that time, somewhat horrified at the suggestion of a metal band with full keyboards. I figured I might as well keep jamming with Mac until I found someone else with whom to start Bal-Sagoth, so we called the non-serious bedroom outfit "Dusk" and continued to spend Sunday afternoons making a horrific noise. Well, this went on for a few months, but absolutely nothing came of it. I wasn't happy that I couldn't implement the Bal-Sagoth concept fully, and Jonny and Chris also confided in me that they too weren't happy with the kind of material which we were playing as Dusk. Then, for a variety of reasons, we parted company with Mac (but ironically, Mac would later re-join us on bass). At that point, I explained to Jonny and Chris in detail the kind of music I wanted to do, and gave them a rundown of the Bal-Sagoth concept, saying that keyboards would ideally play a prominent role in such a band. Back then, I kept all the lyrics, logos, and ideas in a large black folder, which I showed them to give them a firm idea of the whole concept behind the band. They thought it was all pretty weird, but Jonny, who was a trained pianist, was very intrigued by the idea of keyboards, and when I showed them material by black metal bands such as Emperor, they were sold. And so, Bal-Sagoth was formally implemented during the summer of 1993. We still had Jason on bass guitar, and for keyboards we recruited Vincent, and we began crafting the music which would ultimately end up on our demo and later on the debut album. And that's how the band started.
Over the years, a few people have asked me the following questions, so I've added them to the FAQ...
Q: Wasn't the Circus Maximus used just for chariot racing? But you have gladiatorial combat taking place there in "Blood Slakes The Sand At the Circus Maximus".
BYRON: The Circus Maximus was very much an "all purpose" arena. Although it is perhaps best known for the epic chariot races, many different events were in fact held there, including parades, beast hunts, plays, recitals, athletics, religious ceremonies, gladiatorial contests and horse racing.
Q: Isn't "chthonic" pronounced wrong on the album "The Chthonic Chronicles"?
BYRON: Sure, the "ch" is technically silent, but I chose to pronounce it as "katonic" for a couple of reasons. First, I liked the alliterative qualities which the "hard c" sound afforded when paired with the word "chronicles", which neatly paralleled the alliteration of the previous Bal-Sagoth album title "Atlantis Ascendant". Second, I always liked the Lovecraftian connotation which the "katonic" pronunciation suggested.
As editor Simon theorizes in the fictional "Necronomicon" publication:
"The pronounciation of chthonic is "katonic", which explains Lovecraft's famous Miskatonic River and Miskatonic University, not to mention the chief deity of his pantheon, Cthulhu..."
So, although he is technically wrong about the pronunciation, I always rather liked that theory and the phonetic link to HPL which it afforded. So, that's why I decided to use the "katonic" pronunciation.

I am an experienced professional programmer who wants to delve into Android programming. I also wish to investigate cross-platform programming using tools like PhoneGap or Titanium.
However, I am a bit in doubt of which learning strategy is best.
One approach is to get a good feeling of the Android environment and later on explore the possibilities of the cross-platform tools.
Another approach is to jump start using say Titanium (which to me looks like the better option of the two mentioned) and then after a while look into the underlying Android building blocks. The reason why this approach seems worth considering is that although I have earned my living on programming for 20 years, I have no experience whatsoever with Java. And the feeling of getting something done has always been encouraging to me.
What do you think? Does option 2 make sense, or would it be more sensible to get an understanding of the Android environment first?
Thanks in advance, Martin

30 year old man | Marina del Rey, CA, USA | Seeking women 23-30 within 15 miles
Living life to the fullest and everyday becoming a better man.
I was born and raised in LA. The beaches, weather, and laid back lifestyle have kept me here for most of my life. I've also spent some time in the Bay Area, Vancouver, and Minneapolis but for work mostly. I've got a very well balanced lifestyle between staying physically active, going out with friends, appreciating fine arts, and focusing on my career. When it comes to work, I'm focused and professional, but outside of it, I'm always looking for excitement, adventures, and to try new things. Things I like: I like doing anything outdoors and that usually involves physical activity, like playing basketball, golf, surfing, snowboarding, tennis, hiking, biking, beach volleyball, trying new restaurants, the occasional brunch, and day drinking. I also like to watch football, the Lakers, and am an avid UCLA football and basketball fan. On weekend nights, you'll find me at a bar, a concert (likely indie rock or edm), or just taking it easy watching a movie. Like most other normal people, I like traveling. I find international travel much more exciting that traveling within the U.S, although I still really enjoy that, especially Vegas. About you: you're a nice girl who likes to explore, be outdoors, and can joke around. Enjoying sporting events and music festivals is a big plus.

DEFINITION of 'Forward Guidance'
Verbal assurances from a country's central bank to the public about its intended monetary policies. Forward guidance attempts to influence the financial decisions of households, businesses and investors by letting them know what to expect from interest rates (to the extent that the central bank can influence those rates). The central bank's clear messages to the public are one tool for preventing surprises that might disrupt the markets and cause significant fluctuations in asset prices. Forward guidance is a key tool of the Federal Reserve in the United States. Other central banks, such as the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, use it as well.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Forward Guidance'
In the United States, the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee has used forward guidance as one of its major tools since the Great Recession. Through the use of forward guidance, the FOMC intends to help interest rates remain low to improve credit availability and stimulate the economy.
Forward guidance consists of telling the public not only what the central bank intends to do, but what conditions will cause it to stay the course and what conditions will cause it to change its approach. For example, the FOMC in late 2013 and early 2014 said that it would continue to keep the federal funds rate at the lower bound at least until the unemployment rate fell to 6.5% and inflation increased to 2% annually. It also said that reaching these conditions would not automatically lead to an adjustment in Federal Reserve policy. Janet Yellen, sworn in as Fed Chair in 2014, is a strong proponent of forward guidance.
With some sense of where the economy might be headed, individuals, businesses and investors can have greater confidence in their spending and investing decisions, and financial markets may be more likely to function smoothly. For example, if the FOMC indicates that it expects to raise the federal funds rate in six months, potential homebuyers might want to get mortgages ahead of a potential increase in mortgage rates.

一筆OUT消 (Jyutping: Jat1 Bat1 OUT Siu1) was the Hong Kong edition of the UK show The Weakest Link, presented by Hong Kong actress Carol Cheng in the Cantonese language.
一筆OUT消 was licensed and started quickly by TVB to air on TVB Jade, after rival ATV took most of the ratings with the Cantonese language version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The top prize was HK$3,000,000. It premiered on August 20, 2001.
The Chinese title of the show is a word play of Chinese idiom 一筆勾銷 (Jyutping: Jat1 Bat1 Ngau1 Siu1), which means "written off".
As per the licensing agreement, hostess Carol Cheng initially had to act just like Anne Robinson, complete with the same "cold" style of voice and facial expressions. Since Chinese culture typically does not value this kind of attitude toward people, TVB received many complaints about the show. Bowing to public pressure, the broadcaster changed the style of the show, softening Carol Cheng's "character," after five episodes of being "mean". As a result, the show became more acceptable to the viewers and the ratings went up, and eventually beat Millionaire (albeit occasionally) in ratings. Since TVB ordered only 108 daily weekday shows, the series finale aired on January 18, 2002.
The game play was identical to that of the U.S. nighttime show, with the first round lasting 2:30 and each succeeding round lasting 10 seconds less than the preceding round, until Round 7, which lasts for 90 seconds for double the stakes or a possible $750,000. The final round is a 5-question shootout in which the player who answers more questions correctly wins all the money, with a Sudden Death playing in the event of a tie. Unlike the British version, the first round started with the person whose first character (Surname) in their Chinese name is first alphabetically.
The money chain for each round is as follows:
- $375,000
- $225,000
- $150,000
- $75,000
- $30,000
- $15,000
- $7,000
- $3,000

Discover Financial climbs following FBR Capital upgrade
Shares of Discover Financial (DFS), a credit card network, are rising after FBR Capital analyst Scott Valentin upgraded his rating on the stock to Outperform from Market Perform in a note to investors earlier today. After attending Discover's Analyst Day yesterday, Valentin believes that the company's trends are exceeding expectations. Specifically, the company is benefiting from higher credit card usage, more favorable interest trends and lower credit costs, wrote Valentin, who raised his target on the shares to $48 from $42. In a financial community briefing yesterday, Discover predicted that its net interest margin for fiscal 2013 would be above normal levels. The company added that its delinquency rate for February inched down to 1.8% from 1.81% in January, although net charge-offs increased to 2.6% from 1.95%. In mid-morning trading, Discover Financial advanced 85c, or 2%, to $43.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Chris Bosh scored 24 points on 9-of-11 shooting, ailing LeBron James added 21 and the Miami Heat closed a six-game road trip with a 97-88 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night. The Heat, playing without Dwyane Wade for the second game in a row because of a left foot injury, led by as many as 15 in the third quarter and were up by nine with 5 minutes to play. The Suns cut it to two before Miami scored the game's final seven points. James, who missed the morning shootaround with flu-like symptoms, made only 8 of 20 shots but still reached 20 points for the 11th time in 11 games this season. Markieff Morris scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half for Phoenix.

Ed Stefanski Rumors
In addition to agreeing last March to keep Mills as his right-hand man — upon owner James Dolan' s recommendation — Jackson retained veteran executive John Gabriel, promoted from director of pro scouting to director of basketball operations, and gave him more influence. Player personnel director Mark Warkentien, meanwhile, lost some power. He interviewed in Memphis for a front-office position that ultimately went to former Nets president Ed Stefanski.
The Memphis Grizzlies have reached agreement with well-respected executive Ed Stefanski to become executive vice president of player personnel, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Stefanski will assume a key role in the Grizzlies' player personnel and scouting areas, serving under general manager Chris Wallace, sources said. Stefanski brings a strong player personnel background, as well as excellent relationships with front-office peers and agents.
Meanwhile, as the GM of the New Jersey Nets, Ed Stefanski was trying to help team president Rod Thorn solve a problem. Two years after making the NBA Finals, the Nets were crumbling, and Stefanski (who later worked for the Raptors) looked north and saw an opportunity. "You hear or read that he and the coach aren't eye-to-eye, and you pick up the phone," he says. "There's nothing I did that was special. You call 30 teams, but we were fortunate." The deal went down in 24 hours. "When I mentioned the two first-round picks, they got real excited," says Stefanski. "I got off the phone, and the next day we completed the deal."
Stefanski, not 18 months on the job in Toronto after a long career as the GM of the New Jersey Nets (he made the Vince Carter trade with Toronto) and Philadelphia 76ers, was let go with a year left on his contract. "Not a big surprise, I'm sorry things didn't work out," said Stefanski. "It's the business. What are you going to do?"
Adrian Wojnarowski: Raptors GM Masai Ujiri's starting to clean house: Well-regarded scout Maury Hanks has been let go, source tells Y! Ujiri will hire own guys.
Eric Koreen: Obvious why Stefanski was let go. But he frequently challenged Colangelo, particularly on merits of Bargnani. Not necessarily just.
Adrian Wojnarowski: In Masai Ujiri's first move, Ed Stefanski — who held the GM title in Toronto — has been let go, league sources tell Y! Sports.
Eric Koreen: Up to board to choose replacement, but BC says they have nice succession plan in place in Stefanski
Look, it doesn't really matter what Anselmi thinks of Bryan Colangelo and it's folly to think just because the new guy got the titles full time that some kind of sweeping change is afoot. The season is upon us; it's not time for any kind of change and none is coming. As far as I know – and this comes from a few months around the building and a couple of calls and e-mails yesterday – their working relationship is just fine; the guy at the top knows to leave Bryan and Ed Stefanski to do their jobs and there's no reason to think that changes today.
"I believe in the rookie year — I don't know how many minutes [he'll play], that's up to coach Casey — but I believe they'll see a guy that they're going to put their arms around and get excited [about]," Stefanski said. "People in Toronto, from what I've seen so far, they want guys that are going to hustle. They want grinders. In hockey they call them muckers, or whatever they call them.
2012 NBA Draft prospect Jeremy Lamb was in Toronto on Thursday to workout for the Toronto Raptors, but rolled his ankle very early on and was not able to complete the session. "Jeremy Lamb went down early in the process, so you have to make do," said Raptors Executive VP Ed Stefanski. "This is a process, we have done work all year long. This is to get to meet the kid, take him out and have a meal with him and see what he is like, but you would rather have the guys healthy as they are going one-on-one against each other."
A caveat, though: "Whether or not Ed ultimately succeeds me is an unknown, but at least I've got a guy who has been (in the general manager's role) and done it and I would feel good handing over the situation to him. Last time I checked, I'm not going anywhere. I plan to stay around as long as they keep me."
So now that Colangelo's contractual situation has been solved, he is talking about . . . a succession plan? "I can say that succession planning is definitely thought of in an important regard here with this organization," Colangelo said Thursday, as he sat beside Ed Stefanski, the Raptors' new executive vice-president of basketball operations. "It's important when you've got the size and scope of the business that we have to get things in place. I wanted someone, and I believe the board wanted someone, that had (general manager) credentials."
Bryan Colangelo on the Woj report Stefanski talks hit a snag at some point: "It was errant, there was never an offer made, there was never a snag, we were going along at our timeline and obviously that timeline was not agreeable with someone on the outside."
Eric Smith: Stefanski on this job: "young nucleus of players that will only get better under D. Casey" #Raptors #Sportsnet590
Adriana Galimberti: I know what me & Stefanski have in common: "I'm an optimistic.. I don't get too high, I don't get too low..", when asked what's his strength
Ryan Wolstat: Colangelo talked today of succession planning re: Stefanski but then said "I don't plan on going anywhere." Said were beefing up FO ie Leafs
Maurizio Gherardini, Toronto's senior vice-president at the start of last season, will have new duties — based in Europe, according to a source — and senior director of scouting Jim Kelly will also have a new job description. Both were given one-year contract extensions last summer, after Colangelo had decided to add a new face to the team's hierarchy.
"Ed Stefanski embodies everything I was hoping to attain when the search began for a top level basketball executive to join our staff," said Colangelo. "Ed brings to the table experience, smarts, and a great feel for the game and of people." "I am very excited to join Bryan Colangelo and the Raptors organization," Stefanski said. "Toronto is a world class city and the Raptors fans are strong supporters.
The Toronto Raptors announced Wednesday they have hired Ed Stefanski as the team's executive vice president of basketball operations. Stefanski joins the Raptors from upper management positions with the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets, where his teams qualified for the NBA playoffs in eight of the past nine seasons. In his position, Stefanski will report to Raptors President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo.
Tim Chisholm: So Stefanski is in they say. Expect no visible difference in the day-to-day appearance of club operations. This is a behind-the-scenes move
Stefanski, who was fired as the 76ers' GM a week ago, will report to Raptors president-GM Bryan Colangelo, who will still have final say on basketball matters. Stefanski will ultimately replace Masai Ujiri, who left Toronto to become the Denver Nuggets GM last year. Colangelo conducted a lengthy search and ultimately targeted Stefanski in recent weeks for the job. Former New Orleans Hornets GM Jeff Bower was the runner-up. San Antonio Spurs assistant GM Dennis Lindsey had been a strong candidate, too.
According to an NBA source, talks between the Toronto Raptors and Stefanski for their vacant GM job have "heated up." "I'm incredibly thankful for Eddie trusting me to be the coach," said Collins, a huge Stefanski backer. "I didn't butt heads with [ownership] at all about the decision. As we sat down, and you know how strongly I feel about Eddie and I think he's an incredible president or GM, but I think the way they explained it best was they thought they had two guys who were fulfilling the same role. Eddie and Rod are both qualified to be presidents of organizations. But my hopes and prayers are that Eddie is going to land on his feet and that he's going to get a great job. Somebody out there is going to get a heck of a basketball guy.
So maybe the new owners of the Philadelphia 76ers, a partnership group led by buyout financier Joshua Harris, are banking on the distressed economy and the ongoing N.B.A. lockout makes this a good time to buy distressed property. The deal, which started in April, with Comcast-Spectator, was approved by the N.B.A. Board of Governors and completed Monday. The terms of the sale were not disclosed. The new ownership group, which includes minority partners such as rapper/actor Will Smith and his wife, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, is not wasting time making changes during their first day in charge: General Manager Ed Stefanski has been fired, ticket prices have been slashed, and a new team slogan was unveiled during a Tuesday press conference in Philadelphia. Harris announced Rod Thorn will be staying as team president, and Doug Collins remains as head coach. "We were lucky enough when we bought the team to have two fantastic people doing one job," Harris said. "We are going to stay with Rod. There are no current plans to replace Ed."
Speculation had been that Jason Levien, a former NBA player agent and executive with the Sacramento Kings, would be involved in player personnel. Levien is one of the minority owners. Asked about ownership's involvement in player personnel, Harris said, "You can be assured that we are interested owners. We will be very focused, with lots of debate about what we do with players. At the end of the day, Rod is the captain of that ship. He will run that part of our organization. We will speak with you through one voice, Rod and Doug [Collins] voice when it comes to players."
General manager Ed Stefanski has been relieved on his duties, the new Sixers owners announced in their introductory press conference. Rod Thorn will remain as team president and will be the "captain of the ship," according to majority owner Josh Harris. "We were lucky enough when we bought the team to have two fantastic people doing one job," Harris said. "We are going to stay with Rod. There are no current plans to replace Ed."
It's unclear what caused the talks between Toronto president Bryan Colangelo and Stefanski to come undone, but several sources said what seemed inevitable a week ago – the hiring of Stefanski – has been derailed. Stefanski is trying to become more engaged in the Trail Blazers' search, sources said.
After making progress on an agreement to become the Toronto Raptors' general manager, talks with Philadelphia 76ers GM Ed Stefanski have stalled, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Friday. Two sources with knowledge of the talks used the term "hit a snag" to describe the state of the discussions.

Captain Bill Coppernoll, spokesman for the Tikrit-based US 1st Infantry Division, said the attackers fired from two cars at several buses carrying Iraqis working for the US-led forces that had stopped in northern Tikrit, 130km north of Baghdad.
The attack occurred at about 8.30am (0530 GMT) on Sunday.
"Two vehicles opened fire on civilian buses that had stopped to let the workers off, who were employed by coalition forces," Coppernoll said. "They were going to work."
An Iraqi journalist, Khalid Abd Allah, told Aljazeera that 15 others were injured in the attack.
Fighters opposed to the US-led government regularly target people they see as collaborating with enemy forces.Car bomber
The bomber drove the vehicle into an Iraqi police checkpoint Elsewhere on Sunday, a bomber drove into an Iraqi National Guard checkpoint in Baiji, about 120km further north from Tikrit, detonating his explosives-packed vehicle, and killing three Iraqi National Guard soldiers and wounding 18 at about 9.30am (0630 GMT), Coppernoll said.
The bomber drove the vehicle into an Iraqi police checkpoint
Gunmen opened fire on the checkpoint after the blast, Coppernoll added. Anti-US fighters also attacked patrolling Iraqi National Guard officers near Samarra, 95km north of Baghdad, early on Sunday, killing one Iraqi soldier and wounding four. Aljazeera has also learnt that clashes erupted on Sunday between anti-US fighters and the Iraqi National Guard in the al-Dura district of southern Baghdad. The guards launched a search campaign in the area later, to track down the fighters.
Similiar clashes also occurred in in al-Adhamiya district in central Baghdad. Details of any casualties are not yet available. US soldiers killed
Violence this weekend has already resulted in the deaths of two US soldiers when their patrol came under attack in the northwestern city of Mosul. Four soldiers were wounded in the incident.
Clashes in Mosul have intensifiedduring recent weeks The soldiers, part of the US Task Force Olympia based out of Mosul, were attacked at about 3pm (1200GMT) on Saturday, according to a military statement.
Clashes in Mosul have intensifiedduring recent weeks
The wounded soldiers were evacuated to a Mosul military hospital for treatment.
Another three US soldiers were wounded while on patrol on Saturday, but returned to duties, after their Humvee was attacked by a roadside bomb near Miqdadiya, about 90km north of Baghdad, according to 1st Infantry Division spokesman Master Sergeant Robert Powell.
Powell said a truck travelling in a US logistics convoy was struck on Saturday by another improvised explosive device near Baiji, 145km south of Mosul, killing the driver who was a third-country national. No further details were available.
Kurdish militiamen attackedAlso on Saturday, a bomber exploded his vehicle alongside a bus carrying Kurdish militiamen, killing at least nine people and wounding nine more, Kurdish officials said.
Fighters opposed to the US-led government continued their campaign against the Iraqi National Guard on Saturday, killing one officer and wounding another in Abayach, near Balad, 80km north of Baghdad, Powell added.

Mosul has witnessed a recent upturn in conflict targeting American soldiers, Iraqi security forces and Kurdish groups as anti-US forces intensify efforts to destabilise the country before planned 30 January national elections.
Hundreds of fighters are believed to have flocked there last month after US-led forces stormed the city of Falluja.On Friday, armed men tried to seize four Mosul police stations, but were repelled, the US military said. About 70 fighters also ambushed a US patrol with roadside bombs, rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire. After regrouping, US and Iraqi forces struck back, killing more than two dozen fighters, the military said.

It's been six months since I joined this place, and, despite all my optimism, I'm not sure whether I'll be back. Although I said goodbye to that same environment a few miles across the sea sometime last year, here I found myself. Absolutely no reason to give up the faith and belief now, right?
It's usually the type of environment which people hope to get away from, pray not to come back to and rejoice in closing the door after. I don't. Not because I love it here, but because this is one of the few places where there is a thirst for selfless Seva. It is one of the rare places in our material society whereby the only choice is to find and mould selfless service in oneself else you lose yourself, where you have to train yourself to wipe the tears of the darkness of humanity, in the hope of finding a ray of sunshine beneath. How do find it, if you don't believe it is there in the first place?
To all the souls who keep helping me fix a small part of the Me puzzle in order to understand how You and I are Him – thank you.

I can now understand the fascination some have for road trips ~ 6 hours on the road with a group of strangers, only a 20-min break in between, rumbling of the engine and thunder if you are lucky; with munchies, music, a book and your thoughts as the only thing to occupy your mind ~ can be strangely liberating. Amazing.
I should do that again.

Dearest Krishna,
That inexplicable joy and peace I always experience when I think of you guides me through thunderstorms and burning sunbeams.How veiled by Maya am I, that I so often become depressed when contemplating "those things which go wrong in my life, around me, because of my decisions" – the identification with the Self never fails to bring us sorrow.
Let me always remember that I am indeed your Bansuri, through which but a dash of your all-powerful energy strives to produce enchanting music through word, thought and deed. Hare Krishna!
I know I have posted this song before, but such is my love for it. This must be a live recording if I am not mistaken, even more beautiful than I remember:
Lyrics & translation from here.
Hey Govind Hey Gopaal Hey Dayaal Laal.
Paraan Naath Anaath Sakhay Deen Darad Nivaar.
He Samrath Agam Pooran Mohi Mayaa Dhaar.
Andh Koop Mahaa Bhayaan Naanak Paar Utaar.
O Lord of the Universe, O Lord of the World, O Dear Merciful Beloved.
You are the Master of the breath of life, the Companion of the lost and forsaken, the Destroyer of the pains of the poor.
O All-powerful, Inaccessible, Perfect Lord, please shower me with Your Mercy.
Please, carry Nanak across the terrible, deep dark pit of the world to the other side.

There was love and care, laughter and careless banter. The feel of the familiar, the excitement and slight anxiety about the future. The trips down memory lane. Kissing the cutest feet of the future with hope and prayers.
She looked up at the sky and she knew, from the bottom of her heart, that this was where she needed to be. The bouquet of stars against the velvet sky was like a beautiful work of art which made her heart skip a beat.
Yet, something was missing. If only she knew what, she could have added it to the tapestry above.

I've been "working" a lot on values recently, even more than usual, and I got to thinking: if a choice had to be made, which value could be worthy of ruling all? Although I concur that the choice could be highly subjective, I would personally lobby for "Caring".
Caring means nursing newborn puppies despite crappy weather and a horrible throat infection.
It means gracefully giving up what you believe to be priceless (read: sleeping in) to attend to the needs of the small person you gave life to.
Caring is making countless trips to the hospital regardless of the time, just to make sure the sick person feels safe.
It means cooking food for people in need.
Caring is holding the hand of a person who hurt you before, knowing that the person needs to be held presently.
Caring is when you miss your bus to help someone find her way.
It is opening your house to others on Divali despite interpersonal conflicts going on, knowing that not everyone has a family to celebrate with.
Caring is sleeping in a truck outside prison, knowing your son is sleeping alone inside.
It is a smile and a thank you, to the cleaner who is in her twelfth hour shift.
It is a prayer, for the many people who are in pain.
Caring is seeing love in anger, worry and anxiety.
Caring is sharing of knowledge whole-heartedly.
Care is a behaviour of the pure soul, which knows that others are simply extensions of the self. Look at the caring acts around you, they are all manifestations of Him!
And. Just to share:
"I come from Vrindavan. Sri Krishna sent me here"
:) The sweetest thing I've heard for a long time now. I pray that innocence never fades.

Man, the UFC marketing department intern in charge of Lorenzo Fertitta's Twitter account must be working overtime these past few days. Aside from announcing the Mir/Velasquez, Griffin/Ortiz, and Overeem/JDS fights last night, "Lorenzo" recently held a Twitter Q & A session to set the record straight on this whole Nick Diaz/Puff the Magic Dragon thing. And even if Diaz is planning to retire, his contract with the UFC will remain. You know, just in case he gets the sudden desire to fight B.J. Penn, Karo Parisyan, or Joe Riggs again in some small promotion somewhere.
When asked about Diaz's Zuffa future, Fertitta was quick to respond, "[I] really like the kid [he] just needs to get it together. I'm a sap for real fighters." We know, Lorenzo.
We don't want you to argue about whether or not marijuana should be considered a banned substance, or illegal for that matter, because we already have. Needless to say, if anyone out there actually thinks weed enhances anything but zombie mode on Call of Duty and the enjoyment of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, then they are clearly unfamiliar with the term "enhance." What we are interested in is what kind of punishment you think Diaz should receive for violating a rule, as silly as it may be. Three months? Six months? A year? Well, barring a successful appeal, which, come on, it's looking like it will be a year or more before we see Diaz in the octagon, if at all.
Perhaps even more hilarious than the predicament Diaz has put himself in was how the MMA community responded to his failed drug test. Check out some of the best tweets, compiled by MMAFighting.com, after the jump.Read More DIGG THIS

Thankfully, not Albergo Valle Verde. The reception was extremely warm, and our room #8 on the second floor was quite pleasant. The bath had excellent amenities including... More

Yesterday all my friends were busy and I did not want to stay home so I decided to go to DLR alone. (Sorry no pics, my camera broke) I rarely go alone and normally when I go alone it averages 2-3 hours, but for some reason I ended up staying from 12:30pm-11:30pm! One thing lead to annother and I kept walking arround, exploring and riding rides.
I surprised myself by breaking my alone time record by a long shot. It was fun not having to follow someone else and getting to do what ever I wanted. I did a lot of single rider rides too. I rode Splash Mountain twice, Matterhorn three times and I got SOAKED on Grizzly River. When I was in line for Matterhorn the second time the ride broke down and I saw them evacuate and restart the ride. I decided to wait the 45min untill the ride was back up and just watch the CM's reset. If I was with someone else, they probably would have made me leave the line. Also I sat and watched Fantasmic for my first time ever. (I normally skip shows and parades) Since I was alone, I squeezed into a riverside spot in center stage 30min before showtime!
Is this normal arround here? Has anyone else stayed all day at DLR by themselves? Or do I need some help?

Staff is not accommodating at all.Posted May 26, 2015
Pros: The turntable in the room
Cons: Customer service
Location: Middle of Hollywood, there is everything within walking distance.
As a an Expedia VIP Hotel you think they would be a little more accommodating to their Expedia Silver members. We were suppose to get an automatic room upgrade... we didn't. Room was suppose to be ready at 3, it wasn't available until 5. When we checked out we asked if we could check out at 1 instead of 12, I was told their late check out is 12:30 so if I stayed until 1 they would charge me. This is a prime example of hotels being out of touch with their clients. It is alright for us to wait several hours because the hotel room isn't ready, but 30 minutes extra check out time is too much to ask. I have stayed at this hotel on several occasions, but this will be my last.

Beautiful "Old Hollywood" HotelPosted May 15, 2015
Pros: The décor of the room was very charming with rich details, antiques and Hollywood "glamour". Shower was awesome and HUGE (and fun) too!
Cons: The people who work here are a bit on the "snooty" side and if you're not a glamorous type person, they tend to ignore you.
Location: It's in the middle of Hollywood - you can do everything.
We actually rented this hotel room suite for a small, intimate wedding with friends. The room had a wonderful view of Capitol Records and Hollywood/Vine intersection which made for some great pictures. The room was huge with a small kitchen so we were able to serve light snacks and cake to everyone. There was plenty of room for the ceremony against the windows and it was a perfect evening!

N0T Treated like a Star..Posted May 11, 2015
We have been receiving Redbury email for over a year and were very excited stay in area in first leg of a vacation. Unfortunately we had a family issue and had to postpone the trip for a week. We were able to alter flights and multiple hotels, but Redbury was unsympathetic and manager Pearla Could not do anything for us. I asked to pay the difference of the price of the 2 nights that were prepayed through a 3rd party. She was not willing to give us a 100 credit or even a couple of drink vouchers. Zilch. We were out over $500. Very poor customer service in an area that has dozens of hotels, obviously they do not value the business. They will not get a Star' from us !

Stylish hotel with all the bells and whistlesPosted Apr 30, 2015
Pros: Decor, record player
We only stayed one night but were pleasantly surprised with the style and friendliness of the staff. One of the hostesses at their restaurant Cleo was not very attentive and our waiter was pretty slow and inattentive but overall, everyone else was fantastic. The parking was $39/night which was pretty steep but overall we digged the decor, the record player and the service.

Beautiful and right in the middle of it allPosted Apr 25, 2015
For my first time in LA and Hollywood this hotel was a great experience. From the moment we arrived they we so accommodating and friendly. We arrived early and were still able to check in. The girls at the front desk were very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The decor and ambiance was stunning. The old retro (trying to find a better word but cannot at the moment) decor was stunning and our room was extremely clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the Hollywood sign and Captial records from our room. The Valet men were very attentive and helpful as well. Everyone here made the trip extremely relaxing and enjoyable. I will be sure to stay here again when I return to LA.

Cool room with entertaining viewPosted Mar 20, 2015
A Beastie Boys album and a record player greeted us after long hours of travel. The design was fun and the kitchen especially cool. Hot and gigantic walk-in shower and a balcony with a view of Capitol Records to one side (including a mural of Bill Clinton jamming sax with some of the greats) and a view of the always hopping 17th and Vine below.

Feel like a Rockstar in HollywoodPosted Mar 15, 2015
Pros: The enormous rooms, friendly staff and especially the house car
Cons: The club next door gets loud, which they warned me about, but it would help if there was some sort of acoustic seal on the windows (like on the door).
Location: Hollywood Blvd is 10 steps away; Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon are great places to hike and are close enough for the house car to drive you there
Where do I even start? The rooms are enormous, fully equipped suites with gorgeous decor. The staff is so amazing and friendly that I would go back just to hang out with them. The restaurants associated with the hotel (Katsuya and Cleo) were absolutely delicious. The best part, however, is the car service. The house car, a luxurious BMW 7 series, can take you anywhere within a 3 mile radius, saving you so much money on Ubers or Lyfts. *Word of warning: This hotel is not for kids or anyone with a 10 'o clock bedtime. The club next door can get pretty loud and let's face it, in a place like this you should be partying like a rockstar.

popping tile on kitchen floorPosted Feb 26, 2015 on Hotels
The problem about the room was the tile in the kitchen. It was popping up out of the floor. One night getting a glass of water I tripped on it. Other thatn that the hotel was enjoyable and excellent staff.

At home in Hollywood.Posted Feb 25, 2015 on Hotels
What a unique room. I loved the layout and the large shower. Hollywood has a fresh new face and this hotel will place a smile on any traveling couples faces. Great location, options to stay in and cook or have a night on the town. Book a room next time your in town or, as I did, when you need electricity on Oscar night, in your own home town.

Try to make me smile!
I feel like I'm growing younger as the years pass... I've always been a kid at heart. With my new exercise regimen I have the energy of an 18 year old! We really need to take care of our bodies so I hope you work out at least 3x a week. I've been looking into Yoga so perhaps we can tie ourselves into a giant pretzel together. Growing up the youngest I was showered with attention from my family. This means that I know how to shower you with love and affection. I'm also very attentive to your needs but know how to give you personal space. I would ideally like to spend quality time with my partner. I also think it's important that we have time to spend with the "girls" shopping and you with your "guys" playing darts and drinking at the local bar or catching a sports match. Whatever it is that you do with your friends is fine with me... it will just give me more time to buy shoes and get my hair done. I'm happy and single and would like partner up with my better half so that we can enjoy the simple pleasures in life. I firmly believe in the motto "work hard, play harder" I stand strong with my principles and always take risks in life. Wayne Gretzky once said, " We miss 100% of the shots we don't take" so I'm a go getter that always jumps in wit 110% effort in whatever I do. I've tried traditional dating and it seems to be a slow process... so I'm here on this site taking my shot! I'm very talkative and can talk for hours and hours about almost anything... I'm an encyclopedia of useless but interesting never ending facts. I spend a lot of time reading reference novels and own several "For Dummies" books. I'm also and avid listener and learner so if you have something to practice, preach or teach I'm all ears. I'm adventurous and am willing to try out your hobbies and passions whether it's bungee jumping, snowboarding, trekking, scuba diving. I will try anything at least twice to figure out whether I like it or not. Well, I am a little frightened of swimming with sharks...you can probably talk me into it though using the 3 reasons why you should try it technique. I'm pretty much game for anything... Chemistry and Passion is extremely important between a man and woman. Chemistry and a touch of pheromones will bring me back to you each and every time. I can usually sense chemistry when we first hug. Just ask me and I will let you know. I was raised in a traditional household. Mom was a housewife and dad the breadwinner. Times have changed and besides I love to work. I can make my own money and definitely will and want to contribute to the household. We don't know if the job market will stabilize so ideally I would work FT and do something on the side. So back to being traditional, I know how to cook, clean and look after my man. Sure I may ask you to take out the trash and grab the ladder to change the lightbulb from time to time. I enjoy taking care of my man in this way. All I ask is that I'm appreciated for my efforts. A simple smile, hug, kiss and thank you is all that I require. I would do backflips and cartwheels for my man. I believe the man is the head of the household and that I am the spine. I want to be my man's rock and support him in all of his endeavors. I've been told that I'm a deep, complex, passionate individual. I only have simple needs. I'm beauty and brains... can you think you can handle that?

:D Thanks. I took a few but am lazy to upload them. But, I will try later.
:D Thanks. Just getting that one was hard because he kept looking at my sister's dogs when she was visiting.
Here's my new male kitten. I named him Maddox but I don't l want something different. He's very active (even my kitten standards), extremely affectionate and his eyes are gold with green centers. Any...
They've been spamming on many forums, this is the 3rd PM I've received.
This pseudo-novel is so poorly written but crap sells. Harry Potter, while achieving greatness in one area, is poorly...
Isn't it soooo true how when you need something you can't find it. I've been trying to find my manual for 2 months then a few hours ago when I WASN'T looking for it, it appears.
Thanks so much for...
I've misplaced my manual perhaps lost it. Could you tell me how to adjust my ISO settings. I have a Canon S2 IS too.
I understood what you said but the site makes claims about what it can do now and I have yet to find it. That was my point since you missed it. :)
Well, obviously. But, if I checked out the forum there and thus far it's only for video to flash. Logging in and uploading a file was mentioned, maybe I missed it but I've yet to see that option.
I always thought it was a software not an online tool. :confused: Is it a PC only application?
Thanks. All is well. :)
I just posted pics of a white dog I happened upon in the park. I did tweak them just a bit in PS. I'm a noob with my S2 IS so the settings were fairly standard.
This is from a park somewhat close to my Dad's. Water looks almost fake.
This one is from last winter.
Here's my dog. Actually, I was in the park this past winter and the owner was nice enough to let me snap away. I'm a cat lover but this dog is beautiful.
Thanks for replying but I've got it. It's when I have one glossy in the tray that it causes problems so I make sure never to do that. I've been printing like a mad woman all weekend.
Thanks for the link. I have QT Pro now and I also have some other software.
http://imagevenue.com/ is similar to Imageshack, 1.5 MB files are permitted. No registration is required but you can organize your pics and they give you multiple codes to post ie. thumbnails.
You're welcome and thanks for the link.
Time for a fancyface......here's my cat Dido.
I have a Canon S2 IS. I've taken some lovely photos but I'm still learning. Here's my problem....silly really. When I put the paper in the slot or whatever you want to call it, I can't seem to get it...
I think it's a case of hyperbole. Even on the lowest settings, I highly doubt anyone could near 60 minutes.
Since you don't mind sharing, have you tried Imageshack.us? It's free and you can [freely] obtain an account to store your images. They will only be deleted after a year if you don't access them...
Nice pic, you blink and they're gone.
I said I would show a movie I shot. Here's my cat, Dido. I watermarked it. I got it down to 8 KB which is pretty good.
I have a Mac Tiger, is there any free software that will convert AVI to MOV or WMV? When I had a PC, it was much simpler. I know QT Pro does this but I won't be getting it for awhile.
