Hilton's demon eyes are perfect for Hollywood
Related Articles
Published: 31 August 2012
Steve Hilton, David Cameron's former director of strategy, has made it to Tinseltown. One of British politics' most notorious adverts, which portrayed Tony Blair with red "demon eyes" as part of the Conservatives' doomed 1997 election strategy, has been immortalised on film.
The new US comedy The Campaign, starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, pays homage to the ad, which was reputedly the brainchild of Hilton. In the film, two politicians battle for a Congress seat and blitz the television channels with controversial adverts, as is the American way.
"One of the adverts Ferrell's Congressman Cam Brady authorises is a visual depicting Galifianakis's character with demon eyes in an almost exact replication of the Tory advert," I'm told by a US colleague. "At the screening I attended it elicited one of the biggest laughs in the film."
It is not the first acclolade for the advert, which received an award from ad bible Campaign in 1997 even though many thought the image crossed the line of acceptability.
Hilton is currently based in California where he is a "visiting scholar" at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, so he can check out the tribute to his idea in person, as opposed to British audiences, who have to wait until late September when The Campaign is released over here.
The Fraser clan party on for Lady Antonia's 80th
Historian Lady Antonia Fraser celebrated her 80th birthday this week with a grand picnic at Pylewell, the country house park near the New Forest, organised by her son Benjie, the banker and poet otherwise known as B H Fraser.
Benjie is currently away on business but next Wednesday there will be another party for her huge clan laid on by her other two sons, Orlando and Damian, at Wiltons restaurant.
Lady Antonia, daughter of the late Earl of Longford, was made a Dame last year but prefers to be called Lady "because there is no damn merit in it". Earlier this year she marked her 80th when her portrait was unveiled in the National Portrait Gallery, thus joining her late husband, the poet and dramatist Harold Pinter.
Mrs Clegg, a 'seriously hot' spouse
Small consolation for Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who has been criticised by his Coalition partners and much of the commentariat for proposing a wealth tax ahead of the Lib-Dem conference. In an interview in the autumn issue of the John Lewis magazine, Alexandra Shulman, editor-in-chief of Vogue, bemoans the dearth of serious role models for contemporary young women: "You have a whole generation of teenage girls who only have TV presenters, pop singers and film stars as role models. You long for a heavyweight female personality who, at the same time as being taken seriously, looks hot.
"The nearest I can think of is Miriam Clegg (left), who is incredibly glamorous and a very successful lawyer."
Chipping in with The Jam
The Olympics delivered a shock to a member of one of Britain's greatest bands. "I was sitting at home watching the opening ceremony with my wife when the music section started," said Bruce Foxton, bassist with Woking's finest, The Jam. "Then Going Underground [The Jam's number one hit from 1980] came on. I said: 'Bloody hell — that's us! I've made it!'"
Foxton, whose Back In The Room album is his first for 30 years — and on which he has reunited with Paul Weller — performed a showcase at the 12 Bar Club on Denmark Street this week. To fund the recording costs for the album, Foxton will play a round of golf in Surrey with any fan who offers £300. He has already sold two "rounds". Will he let his putting partners win? "I don't think that will be a problem," he suggests.
Cumberbatch strikes again
Will he ever learn? After calling Downton Abbey "atrocious", Benedict Cumberbatch has attacked another rival show. Asked about a new US version of Sherlock starring his old pal Jonny Lee Miller, the actor said: "Jonny asked me if I was all right with him doing it. I did say, 'Well, I'd prefer you didn't do it but you've got a kid to feed, a nice house in LA and a wife to keep in good clothes.'
"When they waft a pay cheque at you, what are you going to do? I wish him the best of luck but I'm a bit cynical about why they've chosen to do it and why they cast him." Ouch.
High kicks and the charm of the Brits
Hollywood actresses don't come more lissome than Melissa George, pictured. She is very taken with London where she has been filming the new BBC1 spy drama Hunted. The New York-based Aussie actress — and star of hospital series Grey's Anatomy — says "everyone is very polite" compared with the Big Apple.
In fact, so polite are we Brits that while filming a scene in which she accidentally wounded a stuntman, she was amazed at his response. "I did this spin and a backhand thing and kicked him in the eye. He was such a gent, he said 'Oh Mel, are you alright?'" she told the audience at a screening of Hunted at Bafta last night. Still, one thing all this kicking has done is ensure Melissa is sore herself. "I am feeling it in my left wrist and right hip, I can tell you."
The Eastwood revolution
Planking is over. Clint Eastwood's speech at the Republican convention in Tampa last night caused an internet phenomenon: "Eastwooding". The veteran actor used an empty wooden chair, representing President Obama, and pretended to interact with the invisible president for 10 minutes. By the end of the night, the Dirty Harry actor's speech had sparked a new craze, with Twitter users posting pictures of their favourite unoccupied chairs. Even Simon Pegg joined in, retweeting the Obama picture which showed Obama in the White
House with the words "This seat is taken."

I live in Florida RIGHT on the coast. Sounds like it may be a good idea for me to move to higher ground huh, although I'm not sure it will do much good if we're looking at another Ice Age. In your opinion how does one know if they are spiritually mature enough to ascend, and how do you achieve this?
Whit3 Rabbit
You have taken the very first steps by seeking and questioning. From my own learning experience, I think you have set out on the right path. You have to listen more to your soul though.
Like the woman said in the video, you have to let your inner spirit guide you and not the outer/physical.
Even though I struggle to at this current time, but the few occasions that I have taken time off at the start of this year to have some quiet time to question things and listen, they have been quite rewarding.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Thoughts on Michigan State's 92-75 win over Iowa.
Overview: At the start of the game, the Hawkeyes and Spartans were even. The score was tied, 22-22, with 11:14 remaining in the first half. Then the Spartans seemed to realize that they actually have to do something in this year's Big Ten tournament, which could make a major difference in their NCAA tournament seeding. Michigan State ended the half on a 33-17 run.
Turning point: When the Spartans separated themselves from the Hawkeyes midway through the first half.
Key player: Draymond Green led four Spartans in double figures with 21 points. He also had 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.
Key stat: Michigan State shot 70 percent from the field in the first half. No typo. The Spartans went 21-for-30.
Miscellaneous: In the first half, Derrick Nix punched a hole into the Big Ten logo on the padding around one of the baskets after a tough bucket. … Michigan State scored 55 points in the first half. The Spartans scored a total of 55 points in their Feb. 28 loss at Indiana. … The Spartans played their first game without Branden Dawson, who tore his ACL in the final game of the regular season.
What's next: Michigan State will face the winner of Friday's Indiana-Wisconsin matchup. Iowa (17-16) should get into the NIT. The Hawkeyes took steps this season.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
very useful, thank you.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Quote: "View -> Toolbar -> Uncheck CryptoFox Toolbar"Even simpler: right-click any toolbar, uncheck. Two clicks...it doesn't get much simpler. Hardly basis for a crappy review.
Great Encrypter/Decrypter Rated 4 out of 5 stars
For what I need to do, this Add-on is great at it. People using this add-on should be smart enough to know how to disable the toolbar if they don't want it to be showing constantly. So far, everything seems to work fine.
Bad UI Rated 1 out of 5 stars
The crappy UI means I'd stick with the less-featured Fire Encrypter (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fire-encrypter/). A toolbar isn't an appropriate interface (especially as the only interface) for a tool that isn't in constant use - besides which the text input/output box should be more than one line high.
Isn't in constant use?
View -> Toolbar -> Uncheck CryptoFox Toolbar
Lazy ass...
Invasive toolbar Rated 2 out of 5 stars
A poor try for something which should be useful.
Please, allow the user to show or hide your toolbar. By default, it should be hide.
A menu and short-cut binding is required to show a GUI.
I will try it again later and I can review it again.
Could you tell why poor? Just for the note, this add-on is still experimental.

NC chief orders cop to drive son to work, is fired
Chief said he accepts his firing and is looking into other career paths
By PoliceOne Staff
BOILING SPRINGS LAKES, N.C. — The city fired a police chief for ordering an on-duty officer to pick up the chief's son and drive him to work.
Chief Emmett Ballree was suspended with pay last month as the city investigated the allegations and fired Tuesday morning, WWAY reported.
Citing information acquired in interviews with officers, City manager Jeff Repp said city resources were misappropriated in the incident.
"If it had been an isolated incident, maybe I would have taken another course of action, but this is the Chief of Police," Repp said.
Ballree told the station via phone that he accepts his firing and does not plan to appeal the decision. He said he is looking into careers outside of law enforcement.

"The house was very charming and roomy for a family of ten. It was a older house and needs a little bit of work but over all a very nice house. I wish they still had the pool open in the backyard. The bay across the street was perfect for fishing. Over all it was a wonderful house to stay in. The only things negative I have to say is the house had a older house kind of smell to it and some of the bathrooms did not have locks and one of them the door did not even close. And in order to get to the bay you have to cross a busy street. But our overall family vacation stay was great and relaxing. It was close to the beach as well as stores. And the bay across the street was convenient and peaceful to fish. It was a wonderful family summer vacation."Guest: Krystal F. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 21, 2015View listing

— Hey, guys! So, today I kinda re-tweaked an old theme that I used when I was roleplaying Yoo Jiae of Lovelyz. But since I realized I would never roleplay her again (sadly), I decided to make it available for your usage. Some people say they really like my themes (although I personally think they suck), so why not "give" this theme away? The base code is not mine and some things might look weird, I don't know. It's very simple and clean, and it doesn't follow the trend theme style roleplayers are following at the moment (but I was never someone who enjoyed following trends, haha). If you have any questions or critics or whatever, let me know! I myself am not sure the whole code is working properly. Please reblog or like this post if you use it! That would mean a lot to me.

A thread where Aang tells Zuko that he met Iroh in the Spirit World and of Iroh's decision to stay there.
A thread where Toph tells Aang she's pregnant. Either time. Or Aang being there when Lin is born, just so I can write Aang telling Toph how beautiful she is.
A thread between Katara and Aang dealing with the rise of Yakone and his gang and bloodbending ways and Katara taking it very personal and getting way to incolved, and put in danger, and maybe even some how getting arrested for getting in the way or attacking gangs or Yakone frames her for bloodbending or something IDK yet but it would be dramatic and in front of the kids, and Aang would be pissed and that's why Tenzin got so passionate whenever Yakone was mentioned.
An AU thread with a Bumi where Bumi was born an Air Bender, and he's pretty good, but he still wants to join the UN and Aang is not so pleased with this but has to come to terms with letting his son live his own life.

He was doing it well. Great, even. The house seemed empty, either the occupants were away or soundly asleep. Nicholas tiptoed on the tiled floor, squinting his eyes in the dim room, with the streetlamp filtering through the thin curtain. It would be plainly visible, Martina had said, the family was one to brag.
Livingroom it must be, he thought, making his way in silent steps. He was peering through the various ornaments when faint steps sounded from the room next door. The boy froze, eyes wide and head swiveling around, contemplating places and crooks to hide. But where?

MTV Europe Music Awards to Rock Out in Frankfurt, Germany 2012
The city will host for the second time in the nods' 19-year-history.
LONDON – This year's MTV Europe Music Awards will rock out in the German city of Frankfurt, organizers said.
The 19th annual show will pump up the volume in Frankfurt on Nov. 11, 2012, a second coming for the German city having played host back in 2001.
The 2012 MTV EMA will broadcast live from Frankfurt's Festhalle this year after last year's show came from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) president and CEO Bob Bakish described the event as "one of the biggest nights in music on the planet" and promised the show will "showcase talent from the U.S. to Europe to Asia to everywhere in between."
The 2012 MTV EMA will be available to a potential viewing audience of more than 1.2 billion people via MTV's global network of more than 60 channels reaching more than 640 million households around the world as well as through syndication.
Richard Godfrey and Bruce Gillmer are executive producers for the 2012 MTV EMA.
Past EMA performers have included Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Green Day, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Kanye West, Tokio Hotel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jesse J and Kings of Leon.

Utah Utes football: Season has been 'very frustrating' so far
SALT LAKE CITY — As he glanced at the scoreboard last Saturday at Oregon State, several thoughts crossed Utah coach Kyle Whittingham's mind. They included things like, "It can't be" and "How the heck can it be?"
It was the fourth quarter and the statistics on the board showed that the Utes were doing a real good job against Oregon State's offense. Even so, the only numbers on the board that really mattered didn't reflect it. The Beavers led 21-7.
Whittingham brought it up when asked if this was his most difficult season as Utah's head coach. The Utes are off to their poorest start (2-5) and first four-game skid in his eight-year tenure at the helm.
"It's right up there. I'll tell you at the end. We've got a lot of football left," Whittingham said. "But it's been very frustrating."
The Utes, he added, will keep working through it. They face California on Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
LEADERSHIP APLENTY: Whittingham dismissed any notion that this year's team has a shortage of leaders.
"I don't sense any lack of leadership at all. That has not been an issue," Whittingham said. "We've got guys who make sure things are done right in practice (and) make sure everybody is doing the right things in the weight room. So I haven't seen that at all."
GETTING COMFY: Quarterback Travis Wilson threw his first touchdown pass as Utah's starter when he connected on an 18-yard scoring strike to Jake Murphy last Saturday at Oregon State.
"It was great. It really boosted my confidence," Wilson said of the throw. "It was great to have that feeling, but I have to be able to make a lot more of those than I did last Saturday."
Wilson noted that he's settling into the role following two starts.
"After getting this playing time I feel really comfortable, definitely, in the pocket as well," Wilson said. "I just need to keep on playing with confidence and just make sure everyone around me knows that, too."
MATCH GAME: Utah's second consecutive 0-4 start in Pac-12 play has prompted questions from the media about how the Utes stack up in their new surroundings.
"I think we can definitely match them position for position," Wilson said. "We're playing hard. We're having good weeks of practice. For some reason, it just hasn't really been working out."
Even so, Wilson doesn't think the Utes are being outmanned and is confident things will improve.
Safety Eric Rowe also believes Utah can compete.
"It just comes down to the mental part of the game — to film study, to aligning right and using the right technique," he said. "We can match up with like USC and Cal and Oregon State and Oregon, it just comes down to the mental part of the game."

Horror films often bring out the best in a director's style but not in his intelligence. "Nightwatch'' is an example. It's a visually effective and often scary film to watch, but the story is so leaky that we finally just give up: Scene after scene exists only to toy with us and prop up the impossible plot.
Ewan McGregor, from "Trainspotting,'' stars as Martin Bells, a law student who takes a night watchman's job in the local morgue. It's a creepy building, not improved by two giant pine trees which flank the doors and have been wrapped in plastic, so that they look like swaying bodies in giant garbage bags.
Inside, we find the usual lighting problem: Corridors have small bulbs and are spooky, but the cold room for the corpses is brightly lit, so that we can see what we don't much want to see. The building itself has a certain eerie charm, with its large empty spaces and its institutional chill.
There's a nice sequence with Lonny Chapman as the retiring watchman, who shows the kid the ropes, filling him in on creepy old stories, and entreating, "Get a radio!'' Much is made of the alarm that will go off if one of the corpses should suddenly come to life ("It's not going to happen,'' the old man assures Martin). The story is repeated about a watchman from "several years ago,'' who was dismissed in a messy scandal. There are murky shots of vats of chemicals, one of which, Martin is disturbed to discover, contains "feet--nothing but feet!'' Of course the watchman's rounds include a time clock on the far wall of the cold room, which must be punched once an hour. (The morgue door has no handle on the inside, which, if you really think about it makes sense, from the point of view of the corpses.) Each marble pallet has a cord above it, within reach of a body that returns to life, although in the absolute dark of the storage room it would be a clever resurrectee who thought to wave his hand in search of it.
The other characters: Martin's best friend James (Josh Brolin), who gets in bar fights because he likes the rush ("my tolerance level has increased''). Martin's girlfriend Katherine (Patricia Arquette), who puts up with his bad breath, a byproduct of working around formaldehyde. The creepy doctor (Brad Dourif) who works in the morgue. The frightened hooker (Alix Koromzay) who has a client who wants her to play dead. And the cop, Inspector Cray (Nick Nolte), who is sad, rumpled and wise, and warns Martin that he is being framed for murder: "There's someone really dangerous standing right behind you.'' One of these people is responsible for a series of murders of prostitutes. I was able to guess which one in the opening credits, although I wasn't sure I was right for a while--and the movie gives him (or her) away in such a sneaky way that for a moment there even seems to be another explanation for his (or her) presence at the murder scene.
The movie is a remake of "Nattevagten,'' a Danish film by Ole Bornedal, who also directed this English-language version. Dimension Films bought the original film, a hit in Europe, and kept it off the market here while producing the retread, no doubt to forestall the kinds of unfavorable comparisons that came up when the Danish director George Sluizer remade his brilliant "The Vanishing'' (1988) into a sloppy, spineless 1993 American film.
I haven't seen "Nattevagten'' and don't know how it compares with "Nightwatch,'' but this film depends so heavily on horror effects, blind alleys, false leads and red herrings that eventually watching it stops being an experience and becomes an exercise.

Google is altering its search results to de-emphasise the websites of repeat copyright offenders and make it easier to find legitimate providers of music, movies and other content.
The move is a peace offering to Hollywood and the music recording labels. This year, Google joined other Silicon Valley heavyweights to help kill legislation that would have given the United States government and content creators more power to shut down foreign websites that promote piracy.
The Motion Picture Association of America issued a lukewarm response, saying it was "optimistic" the change would help steer consumers away from piracy.
"We will be watching this development closely - the devil is always in the details," MPAA senior executive president Michael O'Leary said in a statement.
Next week, Google will start using "valid copyright removal notices" to rank its search results, according to a Friday blog post by Google's senior vice president of engineering, Amit Singhal.
Google typically ranks websites based on how many other sites link to them, on the belief that sites that get more links are more trustworthy and useful. But Google also regularly tweaks its formulas to reflect special circumstances.
In this case, sites with high numbers of copyright-removal notices may get bumped down in rankings. In effect, that will help users find legitimate sources of content without removing any pages from its results completely. Google did not elaborate on what it considers to be valid notices.
Google's icy relationship with content creators has thawed slightly.
Last month, Google said it would offer a US$50-per-month TV package over a super-fast fibre network in a Kansas City test bed. The package would offer mainstream channels including Viacom's Nickelodeon.
Google, which is based in Mountain View, California, also sells movies and music through its Google Play store on mobile devices that use its Android operating system.
But a US$1 billion copyright lawsuit filed by Viacom against Google's YouTube in 2007 was re-instated by a federal appeals court in April after a lower court threw it out.
And last week, court papers showed that the Authors Guild is demanding Google pay US$750 for each of the 20 million books it has scanned in a 7-year-old case.

Truffle mania
|| Print |
|Articles - April 2012
|Thursday, March 22, 2012
Page 3 of 5
To date, Lefevre has planted about a dozen truffieres in Oregon, and many in other states. One of his customers is Jim Bernau, founder and president of Willamette Valley Vineyards. Bernau recently hired Lefevre to plant three acres of truffle trees on land near Tualatin. He serves on the Oregon Truffle Festival's advisory board and his winery is a longtime festival sponsor.
Bernau also bankrolled the 2009 feasibility study because he felt the nascent truffle industry needed the sort of guidance that Ted Casteel's popular tome, Oregon Winegrape Growers' Guide, provided early Oregon winemakers. As far as he's concerned, Oregon wine and Oregon truffles go hand in hand. "The pairing of pinot noir and truffle-infused food is just perfect," says Bernau. "They're meant to be with each other."
From a tourism standpoint, truer words were never spoken. To Holly MacFee, Travel Oregon's vice president for Global Brand Strategy, the pairing of Oregon wine and Oregon truffles is a winning proposition for the state. "We're lucky to have truffles because they really do elevate our reputation as a culinary destination," she says.
The state does its part to promote the truffle industry through advertising, such as the 15-second spot filmed by Wieden+Kennedy as part of Travel Oregon's Oregon Bounty campaign that features a truffle hunter and his dog seeking fungal treasures in the forest. Oregon truffles also will be featured at Feast Portland, a food event already getting national attention that's planned for Sept. 20-23. Mike Thelin, one of the event organizers, says local truffles will impress attendees of the keystone event on Sept. 22, "Porklandia."
"When people come from other places, they know we have pinot, they know we have pork, they know we have beer, they know we have great chef talent," says Thelin. "And then they find out, oh, you have truffles too? It's like, does it ever end? What's next? Local bananas and pineapple?"

The negative to that picture has been always on my mind but I do not have a clue where it might be. For Xmas my children gave me a film/photo scanner. I gave up on finding that negative & instead scanned a copy of my great grandmother sitting in a nice pose in an armchair. I also found a photo of my great grandmother looking down onto the street below from her apartment window.
I scanned both photos & with a bit of editing brought them back to pretty good quality. Of course if I could find the negative the photos would be better but under the circumstances time is of the essence as Mother's Day is coming up fast.
I ordered the 5 x 7 Curved Glass Print. I put the apartment window shot on one side & the armchair on the other side. Wow!!! Oh, time is off the essence as my mother is almost 93 years old.
Shortly after Mother's Day my husband & I will be going to visit her. She lives in the next province with my sister. My mother had to wait at least 15 years or more for this day & what a day it will be when she finally gets those two photos.
Technology has changed so much. Shutterfly did an AMAZING job with these two photos. Not only will my mother be over the moon to see her favorite photo but the way in which it is presented in that curved glass will make her speechless & it will be something to show her friends.
Oh, by the way my mom is not old. She really will be 93 in September of this year, however, acts like 60. She is so sharp mentally & laughs from morning until night time. She cooks, bakes, gardens, can thread a needle without glasses & is the oldest patient of the local dentist in her town.
Thank you, Shutterfly, from the bottom of my heart for such an amazing product.
I can't wait to see my mother's face when she receives this C"
"I have ordered many curved glass prints and loved them all. The image printed on glass seems to come alive. They make perfect gifts for just about any occasion. Can't think of a nicer way to celebrate a memory. The glass print is perfect for an office or desk where a frame with an easel back might take up too much space. Also looks great on a window sill were the light is allowed to shine through it. Each of my orders were received by the date promised and in perfect condition. With a border or without, black and white or color, all of my prints looked great on the glass. The Shutterfly personalization tool and preview make designing the perfect gift easy. I highly recommend this product!!"
"The picture was way better than I could have imagined. You have to see it to believe it. I have it sitting in front of my dresser mirror and you can see it just as good from the reflection. It's like a 3-d pick. You have to get one to know how great they are!"
"Curved glass makes the photo look almost 3D - very cool. Be aware, tho, that the image will only show up if the glass is placed in an area with light behind it. It you put it on a mantle or table that is in a darkened area, the photo doesn't show through the glass....put it in front of a window and it is spectacular."
"I bought this for a gift and it was a big hit. even the waitress at the restaurant we were at commented on it and wanted to know where it was done. The only negative is I thought it would be bigger. I'm not very good with reading dimensions."
