What do you think about Quentin? Is he a genius or an overestimated director and a debatable artist?
I think that the word genius is tossed around way to easily when it comes to filmmakers. In my genuine opinion i personally feel that directing is an overrated profession that tends to reward one individual when in the reality of it all it conisists of a team of people that create your vision. Now yes the vision itself comes from the auteurs mind but for it to really hit the capacity of what you want it will not work if you have a mediocre team. Tarantino's movies wouldn't look as good if his budget was limited like most filmmakers are. I mean the DP plays such an important part the editor, the composer. Now also let it be known that finding the right people to collaborate with is also part of the process of making a film and finding those is also a skill that all great filmmakers need to learn to harness. I saw Ridley Scott talk about making Black Rain and making it in japan and sayig how the crew was japanese so the obvious langauage barrier would make things a bit more difficult and the crews worked completely different than how they work in the states. Problem ? Yes. But as a filmmaker you just have roll with it and make it work to fit your style. In all it makes that much more of a filmmaker when you go through hardships that challenge your film.Case in point Apocalypse Now although Coppola doesnt churn out films like Woody Allen his films carry alot of weight. I bought Youth without Youth and i was pleasently surprised at how good it actually was after reading some reviews i felt that critics really just got it wrong. It was exactly what Coppola said he would do, small personal movies. Which it is, but like all great films by masters it carries a heavy theme. And in my opinion it works extremely well. Sorry for babling but my answer for Quentin is that he definitely is a great filmmaker but belive me he is really far from being a genius. That word should be left to the Bill Gates and Albert Einstein's of the world.
Reservoir Dogs is a film maked with a very low budget, isn't it? And it is one of Tarantino's most important production. However I'm completely agree with you when you say that a film is the result of a team work.
I didn't appreciate Youth without Youth…..
I think some people who idealize the directing profession might be rubbed the wrong way by Bronc but he's right about that for the most part. Director's like the great Orson Welles admittedly couldn't have made Citizen Kane on his own: his visual style and screenplay are greatly indebted Gregg Toland and Herman Mankiewicz. The network of people that make a movie are so instrumental, I'd think a great deal of Hollywood pictures made my solid directors are the product of a great production crew. The Spielbergs and Eastwoods of the world really work as little more than producers these days as far as I'm concerned… they have this movie making machine of Michael Kahn's and Tom Sterns and Janusz Kaminski's…
Having a limited budget doesn't mean that a film won't "look" professional though; that's suggesting that having an expert team guarantees a gem of a movie. I'm a film student and I've worked with a number of teams. I'm definitely low budget. I'm not from the top schools or anything and most kids I work with are there because film school is easier to get through than dental school. Yes, it's a big pain in the ass to work with a mediocre team of people but that doesn't mean the movie's going down the drain. A director makes the movie happen dude. Every director may not be a genius but I can guarantee most of them are work horses with big "cojones". If they know their shit they show up to the set and they work the actors and they work the lights and they work the cameras and the list goes on. That's if you're a good director. If you're a good director budget is worthless and imagination is everything.
Is Quentin a genius? I lost track of time…
Yes i know that Reservoir Dogs a is low budget, but remember actors are part of the team that can elevate your film. And that cast is top notch. Yes at the time Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn(who was already name) , Steve Buscemi were fairly unknown and Tarantino in alot of ways helped elevate their careers. But still Harvey Keitel who serves as a producer helped elevate that film above the normal low budget pic. And if you think about it Reservoir Dogs really was his only penny pinching low budget film because Pulp Fiction although it didnt have a huge budget it was still pretty sizeable compared to other indy pics. And again his cast is even more Top Notch with real big names that again Tarantino helped elevate to a whole new level of popularity and stardom(travolta,willis,jackson,thurman,rhames, and even keitel again). But my point is that he is not a genius, but rather blessed with the gift for storytelling.
Mao you are absolutely right. Regarding that no matter how good your team it still does fall on the director to make sure his vision comes as close as possible to his original conception. But like you said the team also deserve's as much credit as the director does. Sometimes though the team does surpass the director. For example any film shot by Conrad L. Hall looks so exceptional that the story sometimes takes a back seat to his extraordinary photography. Now i hope that i dont rub eveyone the wrong way about idealizing filmmakers but i feel that for example the oscars are more about popularity than quality. And that's really what has always bothered me because especially in the hollywood setting those films are often not made by the filmmakers themselves but a whole team of people who test the film until they feel that they have the most marketable product to release. My argument in this topic really just goes back to the word Genius being tossed around for filmmakers. Now dont get me wrong their are filmmakers that are probably so in tune with everything that they themselves are probably genius' in their own right. But someone like Tarantino who is an admitted film buff is not a genius, just someone who has the gift to view movies and take his love for movies that inspire him to create new and original ideas that all start with his knowledge of what he watches. Also Mao excellent point regarding working with different crews and limited budgets, you got me brother. But like i said that part of making it work most of the time falls on the director.
Directing: If you've ever done it, you will understand that it is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. A team is only as good as the communication that spills down from the auteur. Years of training/experience/research in acting, cinematography, screenwriting, sound and nefarious and multifarious other skillsets are involved in directing. There are many poor directors in the industries. I call this megaphone syndrome, individuals seduced by the image of director, as opposed to the work thereof. Film schools churn out halfwitted egos founded on ideas of three acts structures and shot sequencing theory, and these people in turn churn out bad atmospheres and little innovation. A great director's work is invisible: they pull the best out of their team, lead them through the dark hours with relentless willpower and never lose sight of the whole. The film supercedes them.
As far as Tarantino goes, I'm not a great fan really. Although his source material is typically fairly obscure to the mainstream eye, his work is nonetheless extremely derivative to the point of plagiarism (Reservoir Dogs is a case in point). So he's not a genius, because he has not created a new form (hallmark of genius). On the other hand, he is a great director, because his ability to translate his influences into a coherent and entertaining vision is absolute. He knows what he wants and he has the willpower to get it. He's an affable director, cajoling his actors rather than screaming ego at them, and he subsequently draws some astounding performances out. His films work, he is recognizable instantly by style and shot, and he has a highly refined capacity for pinpointing zeitgeist and key ideas in popular culture.
Opinion on who is great and who is not is an individual affair: films I liked at 21 now seem utterly childish to me post-30. The more you see, the more you learn: and the more you grow as an individual, the more your need for different kinds of film emerge. This is why I am conflicted in discussion of film, especially the stamping of genius or hack tags onto people. The value of any work of art is dependent on the psychic need of the spectator/audience. Take, for example, music: there are those for whom free jazz rips into their souls, chews up their hunger for harmonic chaos and noise, and they whoop and whistle ecstatically. To other people it just sounds like atonal, pretentious wank. Yet others are emotionally disturbed, as they find the fragile shell of their selves cracked in the vibration. And so it goes with film. Some people say Donnie Darko is their favorite film, because it resonates with the symbolism and archetype of their age. To me it's just a slightly amusing twist on the coming of age genre, filtered via Phillip K Dick. On the other hand, I highly rate Le Feu Follet by Louis Malle, because I am reaching an age where my friends, previously mad artists, have all become mortgaged bourgeois whose primary activity is dinner and nostalgia for a youthful abandon that apparently died for them in their mid-20s. So that film resonates very deeply with me.
And so on.
I liked Reservoir Dogs when I first saw it. I thought it was brilliant, shocking, perfectly scripted. Later, I saw Pulp Fiction, and was a little disappointed that the brutal realism of RD was erased in favor of a more comic book slapstick approach to the dark subject matter. But I still liked it, it just didn't do anything for me, because I couldn't relate, and I began to suspect Tarantino of style over content. Then I lost track of him. I caught up with him again around Jackie Brown and thought that was great. And then came Kill Bill, which ….pah. I don't think it's very good. It's a mess. Part fetish, part homage, part slapstick, part music video. But that's my opinion. I haven't seen Grindhouse and I probably never will. I've just lost interest in him, and after Once Upon A Time In Mexico, I never want to waste any more of my life watching a Rodriguez film.
You see, for me, Tarantino looked at the outset like Kassovitz (La Haine): and I thought he was more socially conscious than his later work evidences. And I'm disappointed. Maybe one day he'll get back to basics. Maybe not. Or maybe one day, I'll wake up and my psychic need for a Kill Bill experience will kung fu kick in, and I'll be gripped again.
T. you are as always on point. One thing that i do have to make clear is i am not ripping directors per say in my opinion i just think that awards praise and calling them geniuses is overstating the fact that it is not the individual but the team. I mean if during the oscar's if the whole cast and crew went up and receives the award for lets say best direcotr and best picture along with the producers and director then my argument would probably be moot, but as we all know that will never happen. Great directors know how to get the best out of there cast and crew. So in no way am i trying to say that the director's job is a cake walk. It is a hard job that not only takes up all of your time it is extremely stressfull. I lost ten pounds a couple of years ago when i shot a short in a matter of one week. One of the worst weeks of my life, but definitely worth it when the short was completed.
Ah, yeah, the director's diet. That could be A-list in the health section of any bookshop :) I hear you. What was the short about?
Hey anyone want to discuss Tarantino's chair > power > language > torture/death scenes?
The theme for the festival was (get ready) TWIST. So i took the M. Night way and decided to go with a story twist. It was a five minute short, and we titled it (ge ready#2) "the devils due". And it was a tragic love story of with a cold twist at the end. Terminal death, betrayal, murder and the devil to boot. A young man's wife is dying of terminal cancer and the prognosis has taken a turn for the worse. As he struggles to cope and escapes deep into his sorrow. Decisions she makes will have a terminal effect on one of there lives.
Heavy. Heavy is good. I'd like to see it. Is it posted webwise anywhere?
Not really, it was about six years ago. But i can try and forward you a copy.
Drop me a link.
It will take a little bit, but i will get it to you.
i can't comment much on his technique. my instinct says he's good because his films look good and are paced very well for being on the long side, which i really like… and i heard he's nice to work with… genius might be a bit of a stretch, though pulp fiction is a tremendous accomplishment.
jackie brown is highly underrated. tarantino serves up a pretty refined take on a genre flick, but Robert Forster and Pam Grier really add what's most special to that film. Very believable and sympathetic characters. Their understatedness really captures a great vibe for a Tarantino film.
kill bill was proof he's only human. just watching a Leone film, or Lone Wolf and Cub, or a Kitano movie instead would have been much more gratifying. the Deathproof half of grindhouse was better than rodriguez's when it finally got to the point. just had more of an impact being so over the top and relentless once it kicked in. but ultimately sort of throwaway.
Probably a bit of both.
@T. What part of Tarantino's early work led you to believe he was socially conscience? For me watching Tarantino has always been equivalent to indulging a guilty pleasure. His films are extremely visceral and derive entertainment through the exploitation of the more "uncivilized" aspects of human nature.
Reservoir Dogs. At the time, I imagined he might be an auteur exploring (to quote yourself) "the more "uncivilized" aspects of human nature". RD has a tendency to realism, despite its stylized dialog and characterization. It looked to me like the first steps of an individual with a lot to say, in the same way that 'Elevator to the Gallows' is pulp-esque but stands as a great intro to the rest of Malle's work.
But I was wrong.
Excellent point T. Were do you come with this stuff!
From a dark place of utter contempt for complacency and academic mumbling.
Genius – No
Entertaining – Most of the time
Overated – By most of cinema fans IMO
Except for Reservoir dog which was pretty nice, I don't have a lot of respect for Tarantino movies; they're just…entertaining…
I don't have a film analyst sense of view like Toby and Tarantino movies are not the kind of movies that I like to "dissect", then I watch his movies when I want to see a entertaining movie with a lot of "inspirations"(I don't want to start a debate about "reference/inspiration or copiying") of great movies for the everywhere in the world…
About overated or not; I think he is but since I'm not a fan of any american movies I'm not the perfect guy to decide if he is or not…
Recently popped in the Kill Bill blu ray and marveled at the images being hurdled at my retina. And as impressive as this film may seem, it carries many flaws. In respect to Tarantino he clearly allows his love for his imagination take hold of his brain and just letting it rip. What we get is a mish mashed film that goes all over the place, preposterous result after result.
Just talking a little shit.
To me, a great deal of the flaws and the resulting mish mashed films, are a big part of Tarantino's identity as an auteur. A new sense/style comes out of his postmodern copy/paste. I don't like it when directors like him are intellectually/academically snobed, just because they don't take themselves so seriously.
Tarantino is one of the most influential directors of an entire generation. He did it… come on! He is not an artisan, he just makes and throws it in you face. Over-analyzing and over-thinking his style doesn't make sense to me, it contradicts the very thing he proposes.
Tarantino is a visceral and immature mofo.
I don't worship his films,
but I say genius.
I predict his next films will be a new chapter in his career.
He'll mutate into a more mature filmmaker… unfortunately?
New Chapter beginning , sure! Mature filmmaker lets hope not, i think what helps him distinguish himself is his childlike excitement for what he creates. I personally love his films. But taking a step back as a fan, i have to note that he does make simple filmmaking errors. Does he note these mistakes, sure. Does he care? absolutely not. For that i give him his credit and respect as an auteur. So i myself must state that i cant wait for the inglorious bastards.
This is not a judgmental statement, but frankly I find Tarantino's "post-modern" kind of mish-mish and resurrection already somewhat out-dated, a kind of calculated nostalgic throwback to referential cinema. Truly post-modern works cloak their references and ingrain them to a degree where referentiality is nearly impossible to trace back to its source, which is nearly the total opposite of Tarantino's reverent approach.
this topic is always a minefield….
I personally think he is excellent at making cool movies. Great ones not so much. Same with Zack Snyder and Robert Rodriguez.
I personally think he is excellent at making cool movies. Great ones not so much. Same with Zack Snyder and Robert Rodriguez.
I can't call this guy a genius, but his films are definitely entertaining, which I believe accounts for something. He has a got a great eye and a great knack for pacing, which is hard to do.
I think Jackie Brown is legitimately great. It turns a lot of genre conventions on their heads, and challenges the legacy of blacksploitation cinema. Death Proof wasn't as good but I thought it was also thoughtful piece of work, kind of a requiem and a re-contextualization for the old male action hero. The Kill Bill's were too much of a mash up for my liking, but I have no contempt for them either.
When he actually challenges the material he's influenced by as opposed to just mashing them together I think he's quite great. But genius is going too far.

Math students often become nervous when approaching word problems, because mathematical symbols are buried in the sentences as words – I call these "math words" – and these math words have to be discovered in the text and arranged into equations before any calculation can be done! Never fear – there are some easy ways to translate math words into mathematical symbols so you can solve these tricky problems quickly.
Word problems generally use specific words and phrases that correspond to the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. When you see these words and phrases, simply replace them with the operator symbols and you will begin to see potential equations appear. Here are some of these clues:
Addition: increased by, more than, combined (with), together (with), totaling, total of, sum, added to
Subtraction: decreased by, minus, less, less than, fewer than, faster than, difference between, difference of
Multiplication: times, multiplied by, product of, at a rate of, increased/decreased by
Division: of, per, out of, ratio of, quotient of, percent of
Once you have found these operators in your word problem, find the equal sign using these clues:
Equal Sign: is, are, was, were, will, gives, yields, sold for, results in
Ready for an example? Here it is: How much will gas cost for a road trip of 200 miles at a rate of $.30 per mile?
1) Replace the math words with symbols.
How much will (=) gas cost for a road trip of 200 miles at a rate of (X) $.30 per mile?
2) Rearrange the problem into an equation form.
With word problems, practice really does make perfect, because the more you practice finding math clues and translating them into equations, the faster and easier it will be the next time!

But what do you do when you find an asteroid targeting Earth? If you remember the movie "Armageddon," the solution was to send Bruce Willis and a team on two space shuttles to blow it up.
"People have these crazy ideas because they get their physics from Hollywood movies," said Lu. "Never get your physics from Hollywood movies. In general, you only need to change the velocity of an asteroid by a millimeter per second. That's about the speed an ant crawls."
Lu proposes sending a spacecraft that would essentially act as a tractor – nudging the asteroid off its crash course with Earth.
"All you need to do to do is run into it with a small spacecraft, or tug at it with a space tractor," said Lu. "We are not powerless to prevent this, that part is reasonably well understood, what we need to do is find out where the asteroids are and that is what we have to solve first."
"When you look at the Earth from space, especially as I did, when you fly around the planet every hour and a half, you see the whole Earth," said Schweikart, who flew on Apollo 9 in 1969. "You identify with the whole planet and you realize that this is such a precious place."
The B612 Foundation's Sentinel telescope is envisioned as a worldwide project – one which would search the solar system for years, mapping what's out there.
"Once it makes its three dimensional map of the solar system, then that map is good for about 100 years," said Lu, who spent six months on the space station in 2003. "Sentinel can go away because we will know where those things are; if we know about it we can do something about it."

1993. Dad and I just came back from the video rental place, but unfortunately we came back empty-handed. They were all sold out, and we had to wait a few weeks until the new shipment came. We ordered a SNES with no game and a extra third party controller with auto-fire. In the mean time I told Eric and a couple of neighborhood kids about it and their reactions ranged from "Oh my god, you got a Super Nintendo?!" excitement to "Lame. Everyone knows the Mega Drive is better!" fanboyish dismissals. Eric was the president of the Sega Fanboy Party and wouldn't leave me alone with his speeches of "How stupid are you to buy Nintendo?" or "We could trade games and stuff if you had bought a Mega Drive".He had a point with the last one, though. The thing is that I no longer trusted the guy after all that happened during the last year, and the SNES felt like a better console to me.
So, a Friday night a couple of weeks later, dad took me to the rental store to pick up the console and rent a game for me to spend the week. He said that this time he wouldn't buy that bunch of games and peripherals that ended up forgotten a few weeks latter, like he did with the master system. So instead, we would rent games this time around. He let me choose one game to spend the weekend. I wanted Street Fighter II but all copies were already rented, just like every high profile game on the place. So I chose this cavemen thingy, Joe & Mac instead. Like I said earlier, I had never finished a game so far. And Joe & Mac was the game that broke that shameful record. I played that game nonstop since I was supposed to return it Monday at noon. I recon I clocked over 30 hour between friday night and monday morning when I finally killed my White Whale. It felt exhilarating. From now on I was playing to win.
It was around this time that I started to buy video games magazines for reviews, guides and cheats. The most popular at the time was called Ação Games. About 80% of their coverage focused on Mega Drive and Super Nintendo games, with the rest being a misc of PC (which were still fairly uncommon in the country), Arcade and other consoles. The magazine was ok, but had a tendency to be biased towards the Sega systems. I mean, 70% of the ads in the magazine were Tec Toy's, the company that managed and distributed Sega consoles and games here. And that fucking fueled the console war in my neighborhood at least. I hated the whole thing at first, I never liked giving people a hard time it. But fuck that, assholes were badmouthing my console! FINAL FIGHT WAS BETTER THAN STREETS OF RAAAAAGE!!!11! ARRRGH, SO ANGRY!!1!
By the time it was 94 the SNES had been officially released on the country and the thing started selling like hot cakes. I think Nintendo won the Console War here on that generation. I won't kid you, it felt great to be on the winning side.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 02 April 2012 10:42AM
The 20-second ad by Leo Burnett is the first of three that will feature real people at real locations. It will air on Channel 5 in the coming months.
The first ad kicks off at Hampstead FC in London with girls in the under-11s football team and is dedicated to their coach, Diane.
One of the girls in the team is interviewed as she walks to her changing room after winning a match, speaking highly about her coach.
Alex Lewis and Adam Tucker were the creatives on the ad. The ad was directed by Richard Tindall from Tantrum and produced by Jeannine Mansell.
Last month McDonald's chief executive Jim Skinner announced he was retiring from the fast-food chain after seven years in the role.
He is being replaced by chief operating officer Don Thompson.

The F-35 program, the most expensive in Pentagon history, has had its issues, and the cost per plane has rocketed; pilots gush about how easy it is to fly
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is flying into this year's budget wars on Capitol Hill with renewed lift under its wings from a lower government cost estimate and progress in fixing technical glitches.
Another boost for the long-delayed and budget-busting program comes from pilots, who say the jet's flight-control systems could usher in a new era of naval aviation — one in which landing by night on ships could become a breeze, thus freeing up training dollars and time.
But the Government Accountability Office warned in two recent reports that delays in development of critical software for the radar-evading aircraft are threatening the target date of July 2015 to declare the jet ready for combat.
The F-35 is the most costly and ambitious acquisition program in Pentagon history. The prime contractors — Lockheed Martin and engine-maker Pratt & Whitney — are developing three versions of the strike fighter for the U.S. military, as well as eight international partners. The Marines plan to replace their F/A-18 Hornets and AV-8B Harriers with the vertically landing F-35B. The Navy wants the tailhooking carrier version to supplement its Super Hornets. And the Air Force will fly a conventional model with its tactical fleet.
The GAO announced last week in its annual U.S. arms report that the F-35 would cost $11.5 billion less in fiscal 2014 dollars compared with the previous year, or an estimated $332.3 billion for 2,457 aircraft.
Adding operations and maintenance expenses brings the price for the F-35 program to more than $1 trillion, a sum the Defense Department deems too high. The Pentagon has invested about $35 billion to procure 150 aircraft, and an average of about $12.6 billion annually through 2037 is needed.
"To execute the program as planned, the Department of Defense will have to increase funds steeply over the next five years," the GAO told Congress. "Annual funding of this magnitude clearly poses long-term affordability risks given the current fiscal environment."
When the program began in 2001, each jet was estimated to cost about $78 million. Including a 14 percent reduction in the number of aircraft, the current unit cost is $135 million.
The lower GAO cost estimate was shot down by Winslow Wheeler of the Project On Government Oversight. Wheeler, a vocal critic of the F-35 program and a former GAO worker, said what was billed as savings from greater efficiencies was really a regurgitation of outdated Pentagon reports based on "re-jiggering inflation numbers, lesser hardware requirements and unverified subcontractor numbers."
Design problems and revisions during testing and development are continuing to add to the bottom line. Chief among them have been problems with jitter, poor night vision acuity and leakage of light in the helmet mounted display.
Bulkhead and rib cracks were discovered last year in the Marines' F-35B version. And the aircraft carrier version, which was set to begin ship trials in October, had to have its tailhook mechanism modified.
Fixes identified for the helmet and tailhook mechanism appear promising, said Lt. Cmdr. Michael Burks, senior Navy test pilot for the F-35 and integrated test force operations officer for Naval Air Systems Command.

George M. Johnson Papers
Kentucky Historical Society. Special Collections & Archives. Frankfort, Kentucky 40601-1931
Access at KHS only. Use microfilm, transcriptions or images when available.
[Identification of item], George M. Johnson Papers, 1850-1920, 83M01,Library Special Collections and Archives, Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort.
1 box, .5 c.f.
These are the papers of George W. Johnson, the first Confederate Provisional Governor of Kentucky, and his family. Johnson was born near Georgetown, Kentucky. He received Bachelor's, Master's, and Law degrees from Transylvania University. After his marriage to Ann Viley in 1833, Johnson practiced law in Georgetown. The Johnson's later moved to a farm in Scott County.
In addition to managing his lands in Kentucky and a large cotton plantation in Arkansas, Johnson served three terms in the Kentucky House of Representatives and was a candidate for Democratic elector in 1852 and 1860. He also headed the Committee of Sixty, which seized Cassius M. Clay's press and shipped it to Cincinnati in 1845, thereby removing Clay's emancipationist newspaper, the TRUE AMERICAN, from Lexington. With the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in 1860 and the formation of the Confederacy by seceding Southern states in 1861, Johnson, long an advocate of states' rights, believed Kentucky should also leave the Union. He was sent to Richmond, Virginia to request Confederate respect for Kentucky's position of neutrality in 1861.
Johnson, along with other Confederate sympathizers, sponsored a States Rights convention in Frankfort after neutrality was abandoned. He soon fled the state for safety behind rebel lines, but returned to Kentucky as a volunteer aide to General Simon Bolivar Buckner in Bowling Green. A sovereignty convention in Russellville in November, 1861 denied the authority of the government in Frankfort and declared a revolutionary right to create a provisional government that they viewed as more representative of Kentuckians. Johnson was unanimously elected as the first provisional governor. The new government was soon admitted to the Confederacy, despite misgivings about its legality. Johnson and his council spent less than three months in Bowling Green, the official Confederate capital, after taking office. The government went into exile when General Albert Sidney Johnston retreated from Kentucky. The governor was with Johnston's forces at Shiloh where both were fatally wounded.
The materials include business and personal correspondence of George Johnson, dating from 1850 to his death. Of particular interest are the letters he wrote to his wife when he was attached to Buckner's command, first as aide, then as Provisional Governor. They contain his thoughts on secession, his devotion to the South, his feelings about the war, and the officers he knew. The letters omit specific military details for the sake of security. He liked to write poetry and some of his verse is also present.
There are also letters to Ann Viley Johnson giving accounts of her husband's death from the wounds he suffered on the battlefield at Shiloh and a number of newspaper clippings about Johnson's death. The remainder of the collection contains family correspondence of Johnson's wife and children. Many of these letters describe war conditions and the Reconstruction period.
Other figures whose letters are represented in the collection include George Johnson's brother, William Henry Johnson, who owned Bell Isle, a plantation near Yazoo City, Mississippi; Ann Viley Johnson; George's son Junius, who became an engineer and helped build the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad; and two of his daughters, Eliza Johnson Johnston (Mrs. J. Stoddard Johnston) and Martha Johnson Payne (Mrs. George V. Payne. There are a few letters and notes written by Anne Payne Coffman, Johnson's granddaughter.
Two portraits are also present. One is an undated photograph of Governor Johnson and the other, circa 1845, is a portrait of Ann Viley Johnson and her son, Junius.
Variant Title: The collection is also known as the Coffman Collection.
The series are arranged by the family member receiving the correspondence found in the collection.

GLENDALE, AZ - DECEMBER 27: Head coach Steve Spagnuolo of the St. Louis Rams shouts instructions during the game with the Arizona Cardinals on December 27, 2009 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The Cardinals won 31-10. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)
Sean Payton wasted little time putting his stamp back on the New Orleans Saints, firing defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and announcing the team will switch to a 3-4 defensive scheme. Secondary coach Ken Flajole was also let go. The moves came just two days after Payton was reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell from his suspension. Spagnuolo was hired last offseason to replace Gregg Williams, who had left to become the defensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams before his indefinite suspension for his role in the "Bountygate" scandle. The Saints were on pace to break the single-season NFL record for yards allowed much of the season, and wound up dead last in total defense, allowing an average of 440.1 yards per game. They were also last in defending the run (147.6 yards per game) and ranked 31st in scoring defense (28.4 points per game) and pass defense (292.6 yards per game). "I personally want to thank Steve and Ken for their contributions during what was...

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Atlas Iron Ltd. may need 180 million Australian dollars (US$186.5 million) in new funds to double production in the Pilbara if iron ore prices remain stuck around two-and-a-half year lows of US$100 a ton.
Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Young says Atlas's current cash pile of A$400 million won't be enough to see it through to annual production of 12 million tons without a rebound in pricing, given the spending required over the coming year on its Mt. Dove, Abydos, and Utah Point projects.
Atlas is among a group of mid-sized mining companies aiming to break the stranglehold of BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group on iron ore production from the Pilbara, which accounts for more than 40% of the global iron ore trade by sea.
Western Australia's bold plans for new ports to export iron ore are in trouble. So, a review of capacity at Port Hedland's existing harbor has sent a strong signal on which companies will be the big winners if demand and prices of the steelmaking material stabilize.
Atlas Iron Ltd. bolstered its appeal as a takeover candidate by securing the same rights as bigger rivals like BHP Billiton Ltd. and Fortescue Metals Group to make use of spare capacity at Port Hedland, Australia's biggest iron ore port.
Its success contrasts with peers such as Aquila Resources Ltd. and China-backed Sinosteel Midwest Corp., which are constrained by existing port bottlenecks and need major new developments like Anketell Point and Oakajee to go ahead to secure a step change in iron ore sales.
Atlas Iron may have reported an 80% fall in half-year net profit Tuesday following a writedown in the value of assets and exploration expenses, but a few brokers are still bullish on the iron ore player.
Atlas, which said it remains on track to ship up to 5.7 million metric tons of iron ore this financial year, is targeting production of 46 million metric tons a year by 2017.
Moelis & Co. analyst Craig Lang in Sydney said in a note to client that Atlas remains an attractive takeover target due to its open register, good cash costs at A$44 a ton, substantial volume growth and a strong balance sheet with 377 million Australian dollars (US$406 million) of net cash.

Dear PhilThank you for organising a meeting which allowed Mike Peters to address the queries of residents Opawa about the planned use of Addington Action's Depot in Garlands Road.

Showing off vacation highlights or making a music video with a professional touch is just a few keystrokes away with Premiere Elements 7. In Premiere Elements 7 Essential Training, Jeff Sengstack, Adobe Certified Expert in Premiere Pro, breaks down the editing workflow into bite–sized pieces, about everything from setting up a project to exporting the final video to any format. In between, Jeff covers the basics of editing as well as advanced features like picture–in–picture overlays and dazzling visual effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
Before we get started, I would like to show you the solution to a problem you might encounter when you open a Premiere Elements project file. We are going to look closely at exactly what a project file is later but for now, let's just say that it is a file that, among other things, points to the video clips, images, audio and graphic files that you are going to use in your movie. Occasionally, Premiere Elements is unable to find those files and it asks you for help. Here is what that looks like. I'm opening the 09-mixing project file and Premiere Elements displays this dialog box asking you to locate SmartSound-KicknBack-mix wave. All you have to do is find the folder where that file resides and select the file and click Open.
Premiere Elements find that file then asks for the location of these other files. I'm going to click on this file and with that, Premiere Elements opens the project and you are all set. Now, it is possible that you could be working on a project and some file will still be offline, like this. When that happens, just double-click on the file name and the dialog box will open allowing you to find the missing element. This is not an uncommon problem in Premiere Elements but as you can see it is easily solved.
There are currently no FAQs about Premiere Elements 7 Essential Training.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 316 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shi1991 nice hotel in north of SF Hotel is approximately an hour away from downtown SF. Check-in was smooth but I wished the concierge stuff could have helped us with the luggage, as we can't really handle them without a cart that has to be taken out from the front desk office. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TomD Another Great Stay This is the second time I've stayed at this hotel and it never disappoints. Clean rooms, friendly staff and great location make this hotel one of my favorites. The Chef in the restaurant is a great guy that comes out and greets the guests personally which is a nice touch! I highly recommend this hotel if your staying anywhere near the wine country. December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NancyLM Love the view! I had a Marina view room and I loved looking at the water. The hotel is very peaceful and I love staying there. We have been staying there since the hotel first opened, and always enjoy it. It is easy to get around Petaluma from the hotel - as well as all of Sonoma County. November 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anex43 Good but nothing great Club closed and relocated in inconvenient location. Lights in room to dim, makes it hard to read and room looks dingy. Sheets and pillowcases not changed when room cleaned. November 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ccss great service Jose, Daniel, Dianne and Dominique hosted us beautify for the UMass training. Bravo! November 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Buck3dog Almost a nightmare! Asked to have our luggage sent to our room as soon as it was delivered. Next morning had to go down early to get it. If it came in the middle of the night we wanted it then! Lost electricity for approx. two hours due to what????? Did not change towels and sheets in our room for three different days...we did not use the "Green door tag to request green service". Renovation up stairs in hall....ughhh. Large party down stairs...music made it impossible to sleep. Room actually vibrated from bass sounds. We stayed 6 nights....will not stay there again. Believe me 2013 was much better then this year when we stayed there. Front staff was less then helpful....with loud party we called and no one answered the phone...guess they could not hear it ring! Cleaning staff we excellent when we DID have our room cleaned! November 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jctc555 Pet Friendly We visit often because we travel with a small dog and this location is pet friendly. On this particular visit we found a treat waiting for us of wine and cheese celebrating our 25th stay. The staff is always friendly and accomodating. November 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ssss1986 Great hotel for a visit to Wine Country Great pool, nice view. Wonderful hotel for a quick trip to wine country. November 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by twally This hotel was very accommodating My wife and I were visiting Napa to celebrate our anniversary. The entire staff was extremely accommodating during our entire visit. The hotel was completely booked the first night we arrived. Our room was nice but not the greatest location. We were moved to a excellent room the very next morning without requesting the move. Being platinum with SPG for many years it was nice to have this level of service without requesting. When we return to the area this will be our hotel of choice. I cannot stress how pleasant the entire staff made our visit, Thanks for everything!!! Tommy Wall November 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LauraRoko Great location This Sheraton is located within close proximity to Sonoma and Napa as well as close enough to downtown Petaluma to make it very convenient. November 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cglide I will be back. I was very tired after battling traffic from SFO. I was a very relaxing stay. Easy check in. Nice resturant! Nice staff. October 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by aeht Nice but next to freeway The hotel is nice, clean, and quiet. October 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by srj2000 Lovely property We were very pleasantly surprised with this property as stopover on way to Sonoma. As Platinum we were upgraded to room with lovely wrap around balcony. Lounge was quite nice with wonderful evening spread.. Not as happy with limited breakfast selections and no hot buffet in AM October 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gunnar24 Convenient and Friendly As usual, we were pleased with the overall recent stay in Pentaluma,Ca. We especially enjoyed the Club Lounge where we enjoyed yummy breakfast fare and evening snacks that were more like a meal. The Starbucks coffee available all day was also appreciated. September 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by AnnoyedofEngland You charged me double!! You charged me for two rooms even though I pointed out the mistake on the invoice at checkout. You even called me later that day to assure me I would only be billed for one room. I am so annoyed! September 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WeezyLBB Convenient, Courteous and Comfortable This was my first visit to this hotel and I opted to stay on the Club Level. Best decision I've made in a hotel upgrade. The Club room was a great place to congregate as many family members stayed there for a wedding. It was great to be able to get little snacks and drinks during the course of the day. And can I say the coffee maker in the Club room kept me going? Our family spent many nights talking until the wee hours of the morning so that delicious coffee was absolutely necessary. The staff was friendly, courteous and accommodating. We were able to check in early. This resulted in us being put in a a room that was immediately ready but didn't have the extra towels requested at the booking. But that was quickly rectified. The only "problem" we had was an extra roomie....a tiny mouse. While it loved the room, we weren't willing to share. A quick response from the front desk, a glue trap and quick retrieval allowed us to go right to sleep. September 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by overpricehotel Overpriced hotel This was an average hotel. Nothing special. Basic room, basic features for $240 a night. I can stay in a very nice hotel in San Francisco and not have to look at a parking lot for the rate we paid to stay in Petaluma. September 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NeedsBagArrivalService Petaluma Sheraton - no bag arrival service We arrived by car & there was no one to help us with our bags. I asked for a cart; the 3 they had were all being used. When one did get returned by a guest there was still no one to help me; so I loaded the cart & took our bags up to the room on the cart & then brought it back down. When you're paying over $200 a night for a hotel room; the hotel should have this service available. I don't recommend this hotel. September 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Candi21 Great location Very pleasant experience. Location was perfect for visiting wine country. The pool was perfect after a day of exploring. September 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Carillon Nothing extra-ordinary about this hotel. Too far from major sites. Without a car have to cab it everywhere. Hotel offers NO shuttle service. August 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DesignGuy949 Typical Fwy Hotel As a Plat SPG I have to say I was disappointed in this property. We had two rooms and neither were on the SPG floor and one had one of the worst room views I've ever had and this was just beyond the dirty curtains. The A/C unit was so noisy we couldn't even sleep with it on. The Lounge on Level 4 was OK but needed better restocking procedures. I was told they had run out of cereal selections other than the few boxes remaining. I'm sure the earthquake nearby had some impacts on this property. I have to say the one true upside of this was the front desk staff---extremely friendly. August 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Dissapointed2014inPetalum Why make a reservation when they don't honour it? I come to Petaluma frequently and had been choosing the Sheraton due to it's proximity - I don't think that is going to happen again. I booked a club room floor in advance, it was confirmed, but upon check-in I was advised that there were no rooms available and I was put on a non-club floor. My compensation? 2000 starwood points... its 1/5 of the value of a stay at this location. I am very disappointed. I asked if there would be a room available at any time during my stay, the helpful staff member told me no. Strangely though when I look online, I could book another room on the club floor. What's going on Sheraton? August 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by IKPlat11 Mostly very nice, but hit-and-miss front desk The Sheraton Petaluma is right on the Marina (great if you have a Marina View room), but also close to the 101 freeway (not great if you don't like noise). The rooms are very nice, especially the Junior Suites. The staff in the restaurant is very attentive, especially Chef Mai, and the food there is very good. The front desk staff is hit-and-miss; some of the folks there do not exactly have a "customer first" attitude. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jdeb57 Excellent Experience 1 Every aspect of our stay was wonderful. my wife is suffering from ALS and the room accommodations were excellent. Front Desk Excellent August 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MargaretM Front Desk Personnel could be more astute I had two reservations that I asked be combined into one when I checked in. It didn't happen. I was asked to check out and check back in on Thursday. I wasn't able to do that until after my training class at 5:30 and by the time I got through the line at the Front Desk, I was told I didn't have to change rooms. Then the check out on Friday was another hassle because my husband went back to the hotel to check us out instead of me. August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Happycustomer123 Amazing experience We had a great time. Great hotel that is centrally located for touring wine country. The front desk staff, in particular Kyle, was very helpful with dinner recommendations, directions and finding things to do around the hotel. He def. enhanced our experience. They also did a great job of acknowledging my wife's birthday. August 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SixtySomething Comfortable Stay We were in Petaluma for a wedding and stayed at this Sheraton. Despite a small snafu with our reservations and room assignment (because I had reserved 3 rooms for other family members), the rest of the stay including the pool and hot tub, was comfortable and efficient. I especially like having a refrigerator and microwave and coffee maker in the room. Wish there was a free breakfast included, though. The hotel is near the highway and a short drive to the center of this cute town. Don't miss Copperfield's bookstore - it's fabulous, with new and used books... August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Beri Ideal place for wine tours Comfortable Hotel with easy access to wine country and lokal adventures. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Campbell4 5 Star Staff I had called several times with countless questions and worries about my upcoming stay and each time I called, the front desk staff took as much time as I needed to answer every question. Sarah was so AMAZING! She went above and beyond to guarantee my satisfaction. And she come through because we had the perfect room for our needs! She treated me like a VIP and our stay was great because of her. And Shelicia was so friendly and very patient with me even though I took a lot of her time on the phone. They truly provided 5 star customer service! Also, the 3rd floor housekeeping/ maintenance staff were top-notch. They were very professional, courteous, efficient and at your door with your request almost as soon as you hung up the phone. Everyone really strived to accomodate me. Even though I felt llke a nuicence, they never stopped treating me like their most important guest. Every request was met with a smile and eagerness to please. I was really impressed and grateful for the special treatment I received. August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jk11 Not So Fancy This property isn't fancy or quaint, not that we expected it to be. In fact, it looks like it'll be coming up soon on the Sheraton renovations list. It is light and spacious and airy, though, and well-kept by the housekeeping staff. The club lounge has hot and cold selections for breakfast and happy hour. The adjacent nature trail is a bonus - so convenient for morning exercise. Just a minute off the 101, 5 min from downtown Petaluma, and 20-30 min from Sonoma, it's easy to get to and from this hotel. Overall, it's a very easy place to stay. August 17, 2014

Also, using Full Frame in this context doesn't really make sense. Full Frame refers to filling the whole screen. If you have a 16x9 screen then Full Frame implies a 16x9 imagine. If you have a 4x3 screen then Full Frame implies 4x3.
Yeah, I meant 4x3. I didn't know the ration and I've only ever heard it referred to as Full Frame.

During the show's storied run, the duo managed to get a good portion of those artists to lay down verses and freestyles for the show. Now, a large chunk of Stretch and Bobbito's freestyles and random joints, 25 to be exact, has been compiled for your listening pleasure. The playlist features rare moments from Keith Murray, Black Moon, Smif-N-Wesson, OC, Wu-Tang Clan, Slick Rick, and more.

Ron Zook got a $2.6 million dollar buyout from the University of Illinois. Ron Zook made a lot of money when he coached the Illini. He made even more money when he coached a much higher profile program in the Florida Gators. The Zooker has had many good paying coaching gigs in this life. He was once even defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints! Yet, here he is, working in a bank. Not a glamorous high powered Wall Street investment bank a short walk from the New York Stock Exchange. No, no, no. Ron Zook is a middle manager at a small little local bank in Ocala, Florida. Yes, he's working in some town you've never heard of, in a boring, mundane local branch, just like the pedestrian bank in your town. Does this make any sense at all? Is the Zookster just one of those people that has to keep working all the time? You know the type of person that works just for the sake of working. I bet Ron Zook is great at recruiting clients to sign up for free checking! He's just probably te...
