About TED Books
Long enough to explore a powerful idea, but short enough to read in a single sitting, TED Books pick up where TED talks leave off. An 18-minute speech can plant a seed or spark the imagination; but many talks create a need to go deeper, to learn more, to tell a longer story. TED Books fills this need.
In September 2014, we published our first TED Book in print. Since then, we have added four new titles to the hardcover collection, with many more to come. The wide-ranging series covers everything from architecture to business, space travel to love.
Newest releases
The first book in the series, The Terrorist's Son by Zak Ebrahim, tells the astonishing first-person account of an American boy raised on hatred and dogma – a son presumed to follow in his father's footsteps – and the man who chose a different path. The idea that reverberates throughout the prose: Everyone has a choice. Even if you're raised on hatred, you can choose tolerance.
In December we published the second book in the series, The Art of Stillness, which explores an unexpected truth from a celebrated travel writer: Stillness just might be the ultimate adventure. Pico Iyer reveals how stillness can act as a creative catalyst, and advocates for a way of living that counters the frenetic design of our modern lives.
In February we released the The Mathematics of Love, a must-have for anyone who wants to better understand their love life. In this new TED Book, mathematician Hannah Fry pulls back the curtain and reveals the hidden patterns—from dating sites to divorce, sex to marriage—behind the rituals of love.
March saw the release of The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings, by architect and Architizer.com co-founder Marc Kushner. With stunning photography and stories of architectural wonder from across the globe, this book illustrates the rapidly evolving world of architecture in the digital age.
In April we published Follow Your Gut, in which pioneering scientist Rob Knight reveals the groundbreaking science behind the microscopic life within our bodies, and the astonishing impact microbes have on our health, mood, and more.
With May came the release of Beyond Measure, in which business visionary Margaret Heffernan examines the small choices that create huge organizational change.
Upcoming titles
- Pulitzer Prize winner Siddhartha Mukherjee (The Emperor of All Maladies) on the groundbreaking new laws of medicine
- Swarthmore Professor Barry Schwartz (The Paradox of Choice) on why we work (Hint: It's not just for the salary)
- National Geographic Explorer Andrés Ruzo on his mysterious discovery in the Amazon.
- ...and more!

Yeah, I took it around the track. I started at the back just to give myself some breathing space. They are strict on what you can and can't do to minimise risk of accidents etc, though at the end of the day you have no insurance. You get a good idea of how good the other cars in your group are the more times you go out. Got about 8 x 10 minute sessions for the whole day. Many there had a separate set of "slicks" for the track. The Audi club were represented by 2 new RS4s, a few R32s, a few GTI's. The HSV club had 2 maloo utes, a GTO coupe and an clubsport R8 sedan. There were a few 996 911's - Carerra, Carrra S, and TurboS (not heard of the TurboS). The BMW car club had one E46 M3, a range of modified E36 and earlier models ranging from 318is and a lot of older M3s. There was a 7 too. There was a 335 Sedan with Chiptorque chip and modified exhaust, and body kit. Can't remember the insane numbers he quoted to me on his dyno report, just to say that to him, those mods have made a huge difference. Didn't get a ride in his car myself. I left traction control engaged. I let the RS4 pass on the straight, then tried keeping up with him following his driving lines but he just kept gaining on me! (no surprise!) Some of the modified E36's did well to keep up with the 996 911's. There were hot laps given by the instructors half-way through the morning in the RS4, E46 M3 and WRX, though I didn't manage to get a ride in the RS4. The runflats handled reasonably well but I was told standard tyres will handle better. Oil temp got to a max of about 130 degrees. No fade was evident in the brakes. Managed to get to about 140-150km/hr on the straight. The Golf GTI's and R32's did well.

There's a good reason why golfer Kevin Tway's last name sounds familiar
NEWBURGH, Ind. -- If the name Kevin Tway — or at least the last name — has a familiar twang to it, it should.
Kevin Tway is the son of former PGA Tour standout Bob Tway, a winner of the PGA Championship.
The son enters today's final round of the United Leasing Championship within striking distance of the lead in a tie for fifth place at 6-under 210.
When Kevin Tway was asked what he learned from his father, he gave a short, all-inclusive answer.
"Everything," he said.
Then the former Oklahoma State standout elaborated a little, saying: "He's been a help with my swing and my attitude. I talk to him every single day, so he's been the biggest influence."
Asked what it would take to get back into the United Leasing Championship chase, Kevin Tway said: "I'll probably have to play a little more aggressive and It's hard to do that on this golf course.
"There is a lot of trouble out here. If I can give myself some opportunities, make a few (putts) and get hot, then I'll get comfortable enough to play a little more aggressive."
-- Will Wilcox, the Tropicana Evansville Pro-Am winner, had some aggressive play rewarded on Saturday. Wilcox recorded back-to-back eagles on Nos. 9 and 10, both par-5s.
But even that didn't help much. Wilcox played the rest of the round 1-over to finish the day with a 3-under 69. It leaves him in a six-way tie for 18th at 3-under.
But those back-to-back eagles didn't work as well for Kevin Kisner. After he eagled the same two holes Thursday he failed to make the cut Friday at 5-over 149.
-- After a relaxing day Friday when all he had to measure was wind speed, PGA meteorologist Brad Nelson earned his paycheck Saturday when rain struck twice during the round.
"It was just two little red spots that popped up on the radar and then they were gone," said Nelson. "At least there were no lightning delays."

And Michelle and I send our deepest thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims in the wake of this senseless loss.
Republicans should draft legislation on each and every one of these proposals and send them to the president for his signature.
President Jenkins never read the letter, either, because Doyle refused to send it to him.
Old English sendan "send, send forth; throw, impel," from Proto-Germanic *sandijan (cf. Old Saxon sendian, Old Norse and Old Frisian senda, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch senden, Dutch zenden, German senden, Gothic sandjan), causative form of base *sinþan, denoting "go, journey" (source of Old English sið "way, journey," Old Norse sinn, Gothic sinþs "going, walk, time"), from PIE root *sent- "to head for, go" (cf. Lithuanian siusti "send;" see sense (n.)).
Also used in Old English of divine ordinance (e.g. godsend, from Old English sand "messenger, message," from Proto-Germanic *sandaz "that which is sent"). Slang sense of "to transport with emotion, delight" is recorded from 1932, in American English jazz slang.
To arouse keen admiration, esp as an ecstatic response; excite; TURN someone ON: Bessie Smith really sent him (1932+ Jazz talk)

Interview with a sleepy couple...this should be used as sobriety propaganda. If they didn't both die within one year of this interview it would have been funny, especially with Nancy going on about how John didn't "look good" as if a drooling narcoleptic with a swastika on his chest would be any better...
Another one form 1978, Nancy deffffinitely wore the pants here.

I lost the "Hammer of the Gods" book.... Arrggg.... The one I am reading now, Richard Cole's "Stairway to Heaven", has nothing very interesting to report here so far. I am midway to the book and so far he only mentionned how he and the Zeppelin could not stand the Plaster Caster groupies. Of course, he talks plenty about lurid details like the infamous "red snapper" incident which is quite disgusting if you ask me! Reading this book, I've got the impression that Cole was (and probably still is) a real moron.
I do think the interesting stuff about the groupies involved with Zeppelin like Lori Maddox, Miss Pamela and other groupies are definitly in "Hammer of the Gods". Too bad... I probably lend the book to someone who forgot to bring it back. I hate it when that happen...
backstage pass
I have seen this interview with Sid & Nancy a few time before. This is very pathetic... Sid is so smacked out that he is nodding out in front of the camera. Not very glamorous. Thank you though for posting it here for those who have not seen it...
clever ain't wise
^I just discovered it myself a few days ago, and thought it would be an interesting if obvious addition to the thread I hadn't really seen many clips of Nancy before - she's very expressive, smart and funny, wonder if much in that book her mom wrote is true.

You mean the guy with the "Elvis" shirt? OMG he does!
Thanks for posting that video, I think Sid Vicious is hot.
clever ain't wise
Yep, the one in the Elvis shirt. Who is that? I'm sure it's someone I should know about :p
Hot A little bit endearing maybe
Can anyone tell me what the "red snapper" incident is about? I don't like Nancy Spungen's attitude. She just keeps whining all the time. No wonder why John Lydon couldn't stand her. iluvjeisa, the first time I watched the interview you posted was when I watched "The Filth & Fury" documentary. I can't believe the couple even accepted to do an interview in that state...
clever ain't wise
He had clearly lost his ability to think. She doesn't seem as out of it, so that's harder to explain. But of course, the whole thing of Sex Pistols was that they did things that other people thought was disgusting, and not in moderation. So it's in line with their philosophy. She probably thought she could deal with it.
Red snapper - well knowing Page's facination for pagan rituals, and remembering some proud viking customs, I'm thinking something I'd rather not talk about, lol.

Ok, so here's what happened, the "red snapper" incident;
The most famous allegation of Led Zeppelin excess involves some type of sexual act with a fish, said to have occurred at Seattle, WA's Edgewater Inn, which, being located directly on Puget Sound, allowed guests to fish directly from their room windows.[3] Though there are many variations on the story, involving all or some of the band members, as well as variations on the type of fish (often claimed to be a shark) and the nature of the acts performed; Led Zeppelin's road manager Richard Cole, provided the following account of the event in his book, Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin Uncensored:
"It wasn't Bonzo, it was me. It wasn't shark parts anyway: It was the nose that got put in. We caught a lot of big sharks, at least two dozen, stuck coat hangers through the gills and left 'em in the closet . . . But the true shark story was that it wasn't even a shark. It was a red snapper and the chick happened to be a f***** redheaded broad with a ginger *****. And that is the truth. Bonzo was in the room, but I did it. Mark Stein [of Vanilla Fudge] filmed the whole thing. And she loved it. It was like, "You'd like a bit of f*****, eh? Let's see how your red snapper likes this red snapper!" That was it. It was the nose of the fish, and that girl must have **** 20 times. But it was nothing malicious or harmful, no way! No one was ever hurt."

KIWI, your Lori pics are wonderful! I remember a few years ago, it was difficult to find any more than two or three pics of Lori on the internet.
dinahgrace, thanks for those Sid and Nancy pics. She actually looks sweet in some of those shots.
Here are a couple Nancy shots:
Nancy and Debbie Harry in 1977
Sid and Nancy in 1977
Not much information with this photo, but I've never seen Nancy look so "demure" for her. My guess is that she is either going to or leaving court.

^thanks EvaLaDiva!!
I love the second pic! She look so funny there! Is Sid wearing a tie there?
Chloe Webb did a great job in the movie, its really hard to play Nancy. I wouldn't want to meet her too, well, I never will. Very entertaining indeed, a very outspoken person.
Thats how I feel for him.

I agree with you somewhat on Sid...I've always had a thing for long, lanky guys. But without the acne and the drug habit...and perhaps a bit more talented musically.
Stay gold, Ponyboy
backstage pass
The not-so-attractive guy on the Maddox/Page photos with the Elvis t-shirt is none other than Rodney Bingerheimer who was an L.A. disc-jockey and owner of the L.A. club bearing his name. He was very famous back them with musicians, groupies in the L.A. scene. I remember reading about his meeting with the group Blondie. The whole group were all excited to meet him. In the 80s, he had become a sort of rock legend.

FORT COLLINS - Buffalo will roam the region this summer through the eyes and expertise of historians during the 23rd American West Program at Colorado State. This year's theme, "The Buffalo: An American Icon," will be explored weekly in June and July by historians visiting from throughout the nation and Canada.
"This year's program is an exploration of the myths, realities, artistic interpretation and importance of the buffalo to Plains Indians and other tribes," said Harry Rosenberg, history professor and coordinator of the American West series. "Buffalo once covered the Western frontier by the millions, and we'll be looking at this animal's profound influence as a means of survival, as a tool of control and as a symbol of the West."
The American West Program opens June 13 with an illustrated lecture by renowned historian Brian Dippie from the University of Victoria, British Columbia. Dippie will discuss the artistic depictions of the buffalo hunt, with examples from Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, two of the most celebrated Western artists of the genre. The following week will feature a discussion by another acclaimed historian, Elliott West from the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville on the changing image of the American bison from the time of Coronado through the current era of mass advertising and movies like "Dances With Wolves."
Sam Arnold, owner of The Fort restaurant in Morrison, Colo., will bring a slightly different discussion to the table on June 27 when he talks about the buffalo as cuisine. Arnold, a food historian, journalist, world traveler and raconteur, has addressed - and prepared a buffalo dinner for - the James Beard Foundation in New York City and was keynote speaker for a symposium on American cuisine in Santa Fe, N.M.
A visit by Bob Palmer, retired Denver television newscaster and anchor, will highlight the program on July 5. Palmer will discuss "The Buffalo Boondoggle of 1872: A Visit to Colorado by Gen. George Custer and the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia."
Palmer, who retired in 1997 after a 40-year career as a writer, reporter and newscaster for stations KCNC-TV and KMGH-TV, will discuss how the 12-year-old frontier town of Denver was called upon to entertain "a glittering array of hard-partying luminaries," including Custer, Gen. Philip Sheridan and Alexis, the 22-year-old son of Czar Alexander II of Russia.
In conjunction with the American West Program, the Curfman Gallery in the Lory Student Center will present "Images of the West" by artist Bob Coonts beginning June 12. An opening reception for the exhibit will run 8:30-10 p.m. June 13 at the gallery.
Call 491-6444 for gallery and student center hours.
Following is a schedule of events for the American West Program. All talks begin at 7:30 p.m. in Room C146 Plant Sciences Building and are free and open to the public.
For more information, call Rosenberg at 491-5230.

The Radeon HD 7870 sets a new standard for what we expect from a sub-$300 GPU. With performance kissing the heels of AMD's own Radeon HD 7950 and the GeForce GTX 660 Ti, this card represents one of the best enthusiast-oriented values we've seen. A recent price drop makes it hard to recommend those more expensive cards because the extra speed they offer is relatively minor compared to what you'd need to pay for them.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 12:06
I'd recommend 7870
Posted 04 December 2012 - 12:07
That helps a lot, thanks!

if it helps, im running windows 8 with nvidia and i encountered zero issues. not saying amd has issues, but nvidia is running very very stable for me.
i'd go for the 660... the extra money spent on the TI is not worth it. if u are a performance enthusiast u wouldnt be looking at the 660er anyways.
Yeah, if it's a decent brand that should handle it fine.

For centuries, American glitterati have retreated to this genteel Southern resort to soak in the healing springs and pursue their recreational passions. While the grand lobby still reflects the elegance and formality of the early 19th century, The Homestead has a casual atmosphere that caters to outdoor enthusiasts. Daytime activities include far more than shuffleboard: there are three championship-grade 18-hole golf courses, 4 mi of streams stocked with rainbow trout, 100 mi of riding trails, skeet and trap shooting, and nine ski slopes (The Homestead was the site of the South's first downhill skiing in 1959). The venue has evolved from a country spa to a 15,000-acre resort-and-conference facility. Rooms in the sprawling redbrick building, built in 1891, have Georgian-style furnishings; some have fireplaces. European-style meal plans are a better value than paying just the room rate.

Stayed here one night on the way to the Greenbrier. Was pleasantly surprised at the great last minute rate which was very economical. Pulling up to the hotel is a breathtaking experience. This place exudes class. We were greeted and in our room within 5 minutes, then jumped on the shuttle to their casual pub which sits at the entrance to the hotel driveway. Had a great casual dinner and enjoyed our comfortable room. Had breakfast on the front porch
courtesy of the bake shop which sits off the lobby. Although we did not stay long enough to enjoy the beautiful pool and activities, we took a walk around the beautiful grounds. We'll be back for sure!

We've stayed at The Homestead several times over the past five years and it is a hotel in clear decline. The service was terrible. We did not receive the room we reserved and after we were promised that it would be corrected, the front desk indicated that it wasn't even aware of the problem the next day. The room needed maintenance and the cleanliness was not consistent with a $550 per night room. The food was mediocre, at best, although the room
service was prompt. The spa was, as always, first rate, but the rest of the hotel is showing its age. We've noticed that, since the hotel began pushing an affiliated residential development, it has taken on a "club house" approach, with little attention to hotel guests. There are many other superior alternatives in the region, including the Greenbrier Hotel in Lewisburg, West Virginia; Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania; and Keswick Hall in Charlottesville, Virginia, any of which will provide a better experience for comparable rates. We had planned to stay two extra days and had dinner reservations to celebrate our wedding anniversary, but we were so displeased with the hotel that we checked out two days early. I noticed a number of other guests who were likewise complaining about the decline in this hotel, as well as its tendency to place unauthorized charges on one's bill. Indeed, although breakfast was part of our package, the hotel tried to charge us for breakfast on our last day and then deducted it from our bill marking it "guest not happy" as if it was our fault. Of course, any guest would be unhappy to get stuck with a charge for an item that was supposed to be free. In any event, if you are thinking about staying at The Homestead, don't.

Saint Joseph Hospital Announces the Arrival of the Newest Technology in Surgery Today
Local Residents Invited to "Test-drive" the New da Vinci Si Surgical System
CHICAGO, Ill – Saint Joseph Hospital (SJH) announced today the arrival of the new da Vinci Si surgical system, a third generation robot that offers the latest technology and imaging for minimally invasive procedures.
The da Vinci Si now provides surgeons with high definition 3D vision with up to 10x magnification, extended surgical reach, an optimized instrument arm that allows for a rotational-axis range-of-motion of 336 degrees, and a third arm access.
These technological advancements provide our surgeons with unparalleled precision, dexterity and control that enable a minimally invasive approach for many complex surgical procedures. Studies have also shown that surgeries performed with the da Vinci Si HD 3D system have greater patient benefits than previous robotic surgical systems, including shorter hospital stays, reduced risk of infection, significantly less pain, less blood loss, and quicker returns to normal daily activities.
"We are pleased to introduce the new da Vinci Si to our operating room and to our community because of the significant value it offers our surgical staff and the patients we serve," said Roberta Luskin-Hawk, MD, and CEO of Saint Joseph Hospital. "We believe that the new features of the da Vinci Si System will help us provide the best possible outcomes and is proof of our commitment to provide our community access to the latest advancements in minimally invasive surgery."
Local residents are invited to a special VIP reception to meet SJH's robotically-trained surgeons, where they can "test-drive" the new da Vinci Si and learn first-hand about its benefits. This unprecedented event is Thursday, April 14, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Saint Joseph Hospital, 2900 N. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago. Special prizes are given for the fastest simulated operation. RSVP is required, by calling 877-RES-INFO (877-737-4636). Complimentary parking is available.
About Saint Joseph Hospital Saint Joseph Hospital is a nationally ranked, award-winning teaching hospital serving Chicago's lake shore communities. It is home to many world-renowned physicians and advanced medical technologies. For more information, visit sjh.reshealth.org.

The candidate who clinched the Democratic presidential nomination with a message of change has turned to a six-term senator and Washington insider for his running mate.
Barack Obama's choice of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as the Democratic vice presidential nominee instantly bolsters the ticket's credentials on foreign policy, an area where Obama's background is limited. Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is one of Congress' most knowledgeable and respected voices on national security.
A week ago, for instance, Biden visited Tbilisi, Georgia, at the request of Georgia president Mikheil Saakashvili as he sought to respond to Russia's invasion.
Still, some supporters who were drawn by Obama's promise to shake up politics-as-usual might have preferred a running mate less steeped in Washington's ways. Obama was 12 years old when Biden won election to the Senate in 1972, where he has served ever since. Unlike Obama, Biden accepted contributions from political action committees for his presidential bid.
Other contenders for the No. 2 spot such as Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine or Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius would have done more to reinforce Obama's outsider message. Kaine and Sebelius also would have brought experience to the ticket as chief executives.
There's also Biden's well-known tendency to talk too much. The beginning of his second presidential bid was roiled in February 2007 when he described Obama as the first black presidential candidate "who is articulate and bright and clean." (He called Obama to make sure the comment hadn't caused offense.) Biden's 1988 presidential bid was cut short after he borrowed without attribution some lofty language from Neil Kinnock, a British politician.
Within hours of Obama's announcement of his choice — delivered by text message to millions of supporters — Republican John McCain's campaign released a TV ad that shows Biden in a Democratic debate during the primaries questioning Obama's readiness for the White House. He said he stood by his statement that Obama "can be ready but right now, I don't believe he is."
On the other hand, Biden also demonstrated in those debates his ease with a range of policy matters, his ability to occasionally turn a phrase and his willingness to go after Republicans — all presumably factors that boosted his prospects for the No. 2 spot on the ticket.
"He has the heft that's important," says Democratic consultant Peter Fenn. "He can step right into the job. … People remember his foreign policy experience but he's also done a lot on crime, on Megan's Law, on equal pay — plus I think he'll be a good campaigner. I don't think Joe Biden will hesitate to take the gloves off."
Biden's feistiness will serve him well, agrees Julian Zelizer, a Princeton professor of history and public affairs. "Ideally, what you'd like the vice presidential candidate to do is to say things that the presidential candidate shouldn't say," Zelizer says. "That's the whole concept of an attack dog."
The choice was praised from an important quarter: former Obama rival Hillary Rodham Clinton. The New York senator issued a statement calling Biden "an exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant."

Remembering Ella Fitzgerald
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
ELLA FITZGERALD SINGING: The way you wear your hat. The way you sip your tea. The memory of all that, no, no, they can't take that away from me. The way your smile just beams. The way you sing off key. The way you haunt my dreams. No, no, they can't take that away from me. We may never never meet again on that bumpy road to love. Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of the way you hold your knife, the way we danced till three, the way you changed my life, no, no, they can't take that away from me. No, they can't take that away from me.
JIM LEHRER: For more, here is Jeffrey Kaye of KCET-Los Angeles.
JEFFREY KAYE: Joining me now to talk about and to remember Ella Fitzgerald is singer Mel Torme. Mr. Torme, thank you very much for joining us.
MEL TORME, Singer: (Los Angeles) It's a pleasure.
JEFFREY KAYE: You have described Ella Fitzgerald as the greatest singer on the planet.
MEL TORME: Absolutely.
JEFFREY KAYE: Those are powerful words. Why?
MEL TORME: Well, because she encompassed the kind of singing that dealt with jazz, that dealt with singing the popular song as only she could, and I felt that male or female, male or female, she was it. She was the best singer on the planet.
JEFFREY KAYE: You, as we were talking before, tell me that you pay tribute to her in every one of your shows. Why? Why do you do that? What has she meant to you?
MEL TORME: Well, she's a path finder. She's the leader. She recorded a song called "You Showed Me the Way." And I think that's a perfect epithet for her, the fact that she showed not only me but virtually every singer of worth that I can think of, she showed them the way.
JEFFREY KAYE: Meaning what?
MEL TORME: Meaning that she pioneered scat singing, she pioneered the kind of ballads that she sang with great heart, with great warmth, with great maturity, and consequently, we all leaned on her, we all said, okay, we're following in your footsteps. You lead us on.
JEFFREY KAYE: Now, you say she pioneered scat singing. I hate to have to do this, but I'm sure there are some in our audience who may not know what scat singing is.
MEL TORME: Well, scat singing is the alter ego of what instrumentalists play–a tenor saxophone player, a trumpet player–when they improvise on their horns, scat singing is the implementation of the voice singing extemporaneously. And that's what Ella did better than anybody ever.
JEFFREY KAYE: But she also had this tremendous versatility, didn't she? I mean, jazz and blues and scat and pop and Beatles and country and western, and–
MEL TORME: Oh, yeah.
JEFFREY KAYE: –everything else.
MEL TORME: Ella could sing anything. She was at home singing any form of music, and she sang with great authority, which is kind of interesting. In other words, she never fumbled when she sang that kind of music.
JEFFREY KAYE: You first met her when?
MEL TORME: I met Ella when I was about 17 years old, and we've been friends ever since. I was, I was absolutely crazy about her. It was devastating to her about her passing, even though we all expected it, because she was quite a sick woman for a long time. But, you know, the actual news of her going is, is heartbreaking.
JEFFREY KAYE: Mm-hmm. How did she change professionally over, over the years?
MEL TORME: You know, she didn't change a lot. Ella had a very wonderful quality. When she sang rhythm songs or scat, she had a kind of little girl quality. When you listened to her even in her fifties or sixties, Ella sounded like she was fourteen years old. And that was charming, charming. But she also turned around and when she sang the ballads, as I said, again, at the risk of being, uh, of repeating myself, she sang them with great authority. She sang them with great understanding, with great warmth, so she was a two-headed coin that way. She was a little girl/woman.
JEFFREY KAYE: Would you consider her a seminole figure? Did she influence others? I mean, she obviously has tremendous qualities, herself, but to what extent did she contribute to the form?
MEL TORME: Well, I can only tell you that she influenced me greatly. I mean, from the very beginning, when I started to sing seriously, jazz, Ella Fitzgerald was the role model. She was the person upon whom I looked, and, uh, I do think that she influenced a tremendous amount of singers, although there isn't a singer today who has come along who can follow in her footsteps. I can't point to one girl and say, ah, well, this girl will take up the banner and, you know, go through the field now that Ella's gone.
JEFFREY KAYE: But when you say influence, what do you mean? You listened to her records and tried to ape her, tried to do what she did, or–
MEL TORME: Some people tried to ape her, although that was very difficult to do. I think mostly because of the approach that she took to singing that many girl singers said, I want to follow in those footsteps. Now that may be specious on my part. I may not be telling you precisely what they were doing.
JEFFREY KAYE: Mm-hmm.
MEL TORME: But they were from the standpoint of intonation–by that I mean singing in tune–from the standpoint of her swinging quality, uh, so many reasons that girls, girls particularly aped Ella–I'm not sure they aped her. I think that they merely hooked onto her and gleaned from Ella. They gleaned the good stuff from Ella.
JEFFREY KAYE: Good. And I guess we'll be gleaning good stuff for years to come.
MEL TORME: Oh, boy, absolutely, absolutely.
JEFFREY KAYE: Mel Torme, thank you very much for joining us.
MEL TORME: Thank you.

Update: I've taken all the lineups in this thread and will start working through them tonight with the model. I have it down pretty quick, but it's still a manual process. Hopefully I will have something on this by the end of the weekend.

Sorry--work has been killing me the last few weeks. I've run all the lineups, and I've half-written a post talking about the data. But I'm trying to work up at least a little bit of interpretation to help understand the results, as they're pretty interesting. I'll try to get it up tonight or tomorrow night though.
Corey Patterson deserves to start and I could care less where he hits in the line-up. Hopper or Freel do not have what CPat has - power, speed and incredible defense.
This just in-J has made the big time
Can you put the results on ORG?
I unfortunately(?) just was granted ORG access, which is very nice except that it means that I suddenly can't post to my thread about lineups!
So, because you seemed interested in seeing the results, I was hoping that you could post this statement for me in that thread:
Here's my statement:
"I've completed the Markov simulations on all the lineups, and have posted the results here. I welcome feedback, but I no longer have access to post in this forum. So, I'll only be able to respond to your comments on my blog, via e-mail, or in the ORG forums."

Well, I see here that nobody else has tried it, so here goes. The flaming can begin now. :O)
8-Encarnacion (Rosales, Freel, Castro, Hairston, Cabrera...take your pick)
If it's hariston or cabrera they'd be 7 and Bako'd be 8.
As for my reasoning, you'll find it here. http://www.redszone.com/forums/showt...t=67163&page=2

Jay Bruce is probably the only guy that is big league ready in the organization that is a true #3 or #4 hitter. Griiffey isn't anymore and I personally don't think Dunn is either. Phillips is not a real high OBP guy, but I expect him to continue to improve. He is potentially the next Jimmy Rollins hitting leadoff.
1. Votto
2. Keppinger
3. Griffey
4. Dunn
5. Philips
6. Edwin
7. Patterson
8. Valentin
9. Pitcher
I know Votto starts slowly, but I think he could be a good lead-off man.
Defensively I think it's time to move brandon phillips to shortstop. Athletic shortstops who can hit don't grow on trees. BP defensively would be a huge upgrade over anyone else we have. I like Jerry Hairston as a utility player but the guy has no business starting games at shortstop. I also like the idea because it could Keppinger in the lineup full time as a more natural second baseman. Keppinger is an ok ss but the best athletes need to be at the most important positions and that is BP at shortstop. I'd be more than satisfied with an infield of EE, BP, Kepp, and Votto going into 2009.

"We are not ruling out hate crime. We are not ruling out terrorism completely and we are not ruling out other types of issues that it may be a random act of violence," Garcia said. "That all goes to the motive."
Two people were killed in the shooting — ticket agent Victoria Hen, 25, and Yaakov Aminov, 46, a jeweler and father of eight who was dropping off a friend — before an El Al security guard shot and killed Hadayet.
Before he was killed, two El Al security guards and a private citizen subdued the gunman as about a dozen shots began flying through the crowded terminal.
"The security guard came right away and jumped on top of him," one witness told ABCNEWS. "I saw people falling. They fell right behind me and I just ran like a madwoman."
The two guards and a woman were wounded; another woman suffered heart problems.
Some 6,000 people were evacuated from the terminal, which was closed for more than 4 ½ hours. Twenty international flights were put on hold as the FBI and police investigated.
'Extra Ammunition, Ready to Go'
Hadayet's neighbors in Irvine told The Associated Press he was generally a quiet man, but once became infuriated when an upstairs neighbor hung large American and Marine Corps flags from a balcony above his front door after Sept. 11. Both flags were still there Thursday night, according to the news agency.
"He complained about it to the apartment manager. He thought it was being thrown in his face," Steve Thompson, 39, told The Associated Press.
The FBI said that Hadayet had two California driver's licenses, with two different birth dates — April 7, 1961, and July 4, 1961. One of those licenses listed his last name as Ali.
FBI spokesman Matt McLaughlin said that Hadayet was heavily armed during the attack.
He said the gunman walked into the terminal with a .45-caliber semiautomatic Glock pistol, a 9 mm Glock handgun and a six-inch hunting knife.
"He had extra ammunition and magazines ready to go," McLaughlin said.
Wife Questioned in Cairo
Egyptian authorities questioned Hadayet's wife, Hala Mohamed Sadek, and his sister in Cairo. After Sadek was released today, she was unable to get back into her home because security guards outside the house would not let her in.
Hadayat's uncle, Hassan Mustafa Mahfouz, told ABCNEWS he tried to call Hadayet on Thursday because it was his birthday, but there was no answer. However, Mahfouz said Hadayet called his father Thursday.
"Before the accident he called his father on the phone and told him that 'before you call me to wish me happy birthday I called you,' " Mahfouz said. "He also called his mother and his wife, who has been in Egypt for a month."
The FBI is coordinating with the Egyptian government with a view to interviewing Hadayet's family members.
Hadayet's father, a retired brigadier of the Egyptian air force who has been paralyzed for 10 years, has been questioned twice by Egyptian authorities.
Mahfouz said he was confused by the reports he had been hearing about the shooting, and still wasn't sure whether to believe them or not.
"I don't know if it is true or not. I don't know if he is dead or not," Mahfouz said. "People say he has yellow hair in a kind of a ponytail but his hair is like mine and … his picture on the television is not an exact likeness of him. I was surprised and I was upset by this news, I felt that he he could not do that."
Before coming to the United States, Hadayet worked as an accountant for MISR Iran Bank in Cairo. After moving to Southern California, he worked for Bank of America in Los Angeles.
ABCNEWS' Judy Muller in Los Angeles and Hoda Abdel-Hamid in Cairo contributed to this report.

"Death is the biggest mystery of mankind," said David Cage, founder of the game studio Quantic Dream as he announced the company's upcoming project, Beyond. "We have our hopes, fears, and doubts, but what lies beyond?" Beyond is the 15 year story of Jody Holmes, a girl plagued by spirits. The decisions players make will impact how her life unfolds, much like Quantic Dream's previous game, Heavy Rain. Quantic Dream is known for using motion capture to enhance the emotional realism in its projects, and Beyond continues this trend. Actress Ellen Page plays Jody, and from the screen shot above, she looks amazing. The demo during Sony's press conference began with Jody sitting in an interrogation room as a police officer tries to get her to talk. "I found you by the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Was there an accident?" Jody remains silent until he leaves the room to check the missing persons list. As he goes, a coffee cup on the table in front of Jody, which had previously been shaking, flies against the wall and shatters. When he leaves, Jody utters "They're coming" before a SWAT team bursts in looking for her. Jody is on the run when we meet her, and something dangerous and clearly supernatural is keeping her going. The demo ends with a series of scenes showing her escape. "Tell them to leave me the f*** alone," she tells a downed SWAT agent. "Because next time, I'll kill everyone." Something dark, and definitely outside the realm of the living, is haunting Jody.

The covered outdoor area was lovely. Food was yummy and service very good. Enjoyed the ambiance and quietness of a late lunch at the end of town.
We were told to try this place out for happy hour. Great drink prices- and the view is amazing of the harbor. Food is average- but if you would like to try all the Coqui sauces- they have a sampler platter of each- and you can dip your wings into each variety. Staff is friendly - worth a trip at...
We didn't eat much. This restaurant is an outdoor, beach restaurant with a limited menu. We are veggies and had trouble finding more than French Fries and Corn sticks. We tried the Mufongo and that is definitely an acquired taste. My friends had fish tacos and chicken and said it was okay. The restroom is nice since the one in...

My son and I went to this restaurant based on previous trip advisor ratings. I'm not quite sure why it was ranked so highly.

Being the first review of this ilk, I must say that I have taken some time to think about it before responding. As the owner, I am obviously displeased with your experience. However, I must ask the question, "Why, if you were displeased, did you not give us the opportunity to improve your experience?" I am truly sorry you did...
I was recently in pr to visit my grandma and I stumbled upon this restaurant! I went in for a drink and kept coming back. They have something going on, for every type of scenario. From brunch with the family, to happy hour with the locals, to a club you can party at until 5am
The Ocenview Bar & Grill is a lovely, relaxing restaurant for outdoor dining. The bar & grill are beautiful. I especially like the wood furniture they have. As soon as I walked in the over sized chair was calling my name. The menu is very good. However, I ordered a couple of tapas which are $1 and $2 and a...
Thank you for your thoughts.
accidentally ran into this place, and first I was just amazed by this great ocean view, nice breeze coming in to the open air space.
it's worth visiting just for the view.
but the food was amazing, too.
it didn't stop there.

Thanks so much. I love it when you get involved, it makes it that much more special. Take care, see you next year!
I had their cheese burger and fries. OMG!!! the best on the island!!! My husband ordered from their tapas and everything was great. Our bartender/sever Edward was awesome.
Thank you!
In all the years we've come to VQS we had never set foot in this hotel. The dilapidated outside is not inviting to say the least. But we heard Doc was doing a mean Happy Hour so we went. Fabulous sunset setting, lovely setting, good drinks and great music. We will be back!
Thanks so much!

How to Draw What You See
Title: How to Draw What You See
Author: Rudy De Reyna
KDL Description:
Provides lessons in dimensions, proportions, the recognition of basic structure, lighting, shading, and the selection and use of various drawing materials.
Amazon Description:
When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptill's best-seller list—and it has remained there ever since. "I believe that you must be able to draw things as you see them—realistically," wrote Rudy de Reyna in his introduction. Today, generations of artists have learned to draw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, using de Reyna's methods. How to Draw What You See shows artists how to recognize the basic shape of an object—cube, cylinder, cone, or sphere—and use that shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.

|Tommy Lee Jones, Jessica Alba Join MECHANIC: RESURRECTION
November 07, 2014
In a recent interview with MTV, director Robert Rodriguez confirmed that Bruce Willis will return to star in the upcoming SIN CITY sequel, "A Dame to Kill For." The actor will join previously announced returning cast members Mickey Rourke as "Marv," Jessica Alba as "Nancy," Rosario Dawson as "Gail" and Jaime King as "Goldie/Wendy". Said Rodriguez, "Bruce is back, so you'll be seeing him."
In addition, the director talked about new cast member Jospeh Gordon-Levitt revealing, "It's a new character. He plays a gambler, a very cocky gambler, who comes in and tries to beat the biggest villain in Sin City at his own game. The story's called 'The Long, Bad Night.' He beats the wrong guy in a game and bad stuff happens to him."
The sequel will be filmed using the latest 3D technology, which Rodriguez believes will offer audiences a thrill-a-minute experience. "We're really playing with stuff because that's a very two dimensional world and to see that stylization in 3D, it'll blow people's minds. 3D hasn't been used like this yet."
In the sequel, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight downhill. The story takes place prior to "The Big Fat Kill" and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face. The film will blend two of Miller's classic stories with new tales in which the town's most hardened citizens meet up with some of its more repulsive inhabitants.
Other new cast members will include Dennis Haysbert as "Manute," JAMIE CHUNG as "Miho," Christopher Meloni, Juno Temple, Jeremy Piven, Ray Liotta, and Josh Brolin as "Dwight."

Best Uses
Comments about Milani The MultiTasker Face Powder, Tan 05, .37 oz:
I'm a 19 year old working woman in South Florida with oily skin like you wouldn't believe. I'm lucky to have a random day once a week where my pores aren't gapingly huge, but the oil persists. This powder actually lived up to it's own expectations which surprised me because it was the very first product I tried for my needs. I have medium-light facial skin that does not tan, so I use this alone (no foundation or primer) to match my body skin color. It does an amazing job of applying evenly with the option to go darker at your discretion. As for the oil, it does absorb it, however, blotting is still necessary, and frankly it always will be, that's normal. It looked like my natural skin tone as it didn't 'float' to the top or look cakey at all! Also, the powder plate flips up into the lid to show a hidden mirror and powder applicator pad. I use the pad for lighter application around my eyebrows and mouth, and use my blush brush for the rest.

A new twist on financing commercial efficiency upgrades
By: SGN Staff
The absence of attractive financing options can put the brakes on commercial property owners' plans to significantly upgrade the efficiency of their buildings. But 14 California counties and 126 cities have joined forces to launch the country's largest PACE program to help those owners finance energy and water efficiency and renewable energy upgrades.
PACE (also referred to as Property Assessed Clean Energy) is the cornerstone of the CaliforniaFIRST program, which is a program of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority. It allows commercial property owners to use municipal bonds to finance their efficiency upgrades, and to repay them via a special assessment on their property tax bill.
In a press release announcing the financing initiative, San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob said "The county's partnership with CaliforniaFIRST provides a mechanism for participants to start spending less money on energy bills and more back into the business."
PACE programs are relatively new. The first was started by the city of Berkeley for residential owners in 2008, but hit regulatory problems in 2010. But Commercial PACE programs have fared better and San Francisco, Los Angeles County and Washington, D.C. In California, the program is said to have the potential to create almost 25,000 jobs.
Traditional financing institutions like Wells Fargo are involved as are innovative companies like San Rafael-based Clean Fund.
As the Energy Department has repeated frequently, the potential for energy savings in commercial buildings is huge. DOE researchers have said if all businesses and institution performed cost-effective upgrades, they could cut their average energy use by 25% - and that the cost (more than $100 million) would be offset through the smaller energy bills.

William Gifford was an English Conservative satirist, critic, and editor. He is chiefly remembered for his editorship of the Anti-Jacobin and the Quarterly Review and his scathing satiric attacks on the Della Cruscan school of poetry. He also edited the important volume The Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin (1799). Born in Ashburton, Devon, in 1756, the story of Gifford's early life is one of triumph over adversity, as recounted by the author himself in the preface to his popular translation of Juvenal (1802). His father Edward Gifford was a glazier and house painter but "fell a martyr" to drink and, according to Gifford, died of a "decayed and ruined constitution" (Keen, 62). His mother, …
