Iconic Movie Posters with Their Icons Taken OutDesign // Monday, April 20, 2015
It's amazing how much we know about popular culture, especially as it took us very little time to identify what these movie posters were. French artist Madani Bendjellal has created this fun series where he has taken icons out of some of the most iconic movie posters of all-time, which still makes them super identifiable. Have fun guessing what is what!
Ron English on the Bowery Wall!Street Art // Monday, April 20, 2015
Finally, and most deservedly, Ron English has painted a mural on the famed Bowery and Houston wall, and its a good one. You know the history of the wall by now; Keith Haring, Os Gemeos, Shepard Fairey, Swoon, and Barry McGee are just a few of the names who have painted the wall, and Ron has added his touch with a Baby Hulk and an American Flag of corporate parodies. Great work Ron!

Crystal Wagner Goes BigJuxtapoz // Monday, April 20, 2015
We wanted to check up on artist Crystal Wagner and our eyes bugged out when we saw the massive installations she's been making out of chicken wire, tape, and those flimsy, plastic birthday party tablecloths! It's hard to believe these amoebic, Seussian constructions could be made of such unexpected materials, and we love this latest direction of Wagner's work, which has been prolific and stunning so far. The elements of her drawings and print work have come to life in a big way through this new sculptural work.

Title: Evergreen shrub for hedge in pasture in California
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I am looking at putting in a hedge along a pasture between my neighbor and me. I was considering a podacarpus plant about every 4' for 100'. is this a fast growing, full thickness, tall evergreen bush? is it OK for horses and cows and any other animal life?
Podocarpus marcrophylla (Japanese yew) is native to Japan and China and we would not recommend planting it since our mission is to "increase the sustainable use and conservation of native (North American) wildflowers, plants and landscapes." I can, however, suggest several California native evergreens for your hedge. The following are all evergreen and native to Northern California:
Arctostaphylos manzanita (Whiteleaf manzanita). 'Dr. Hurd" is a variety that grows 6 to 12 feet high and makes a good hedge. Here are photos and more information from Las Pilitas Nursery in southern California. This shrub is available at Bay Natives, one of our associates, in San Francisco.
Garrya elliptica (Wavyleaf silktassel) grows to 10 ft. Here are photos and more information from San Francisco Botanical Garden and from Yerba Buena Nursery near Woodside.
Morella californica (California wax myrtle) [synonym = Myrica californica] grows 10 to 25 ft. Here are photos and more information from Calflora.org, CalPhotos and Great Plant Picks.
Ceanothus thyrsiflorus (Blue blossom) grows to 18 ft. Here are more photos and information from Bay Natives and from Tree of Life Nursery in San Juan Capistrano showing the variety 'Snow Flurry' that grows to 10 ft.
These are all available at Bay Natives, one of our associates, in San Francisco. You can find a list of other nurseries in your area that specialize in native plants in our National Suppliers Directory.
The above listed plants do not appear on any of the following toxic plant lists:

A DNA-inspired art trail
July 14, 2015 Leave a comment
Cancer Research UK has launched an innovative art trail, based on the DNA double helix.
The organisation has teamed up with SomeOne to install twenty one DNA-inspired sculptures around London, in order to raise awareness for the Francis Crick Institute.
The double helix sculptures has been customised by top artists, including Ai Weiwei and Orla Kiely.
The pieces range from the sleek and futuristic to the colourful and avant-garde, celebrating the complexity of DNA.
Along with Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and James Watson, Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA in the 1950s.
These amazing installations will be placed around London for ten weeks; discover them here and tell us if you'll be looking out for them.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
David Connolly | 03 Feb 2007 08:56 GMT | Sport, Australia
Warrington have been threatening for a couple of seasons to mount a challenge to Super League's traditional powerhouse teams of St Helens, Wigan, Leeds and Bradford and coach Paul Cullen will hoping that Morley can add some aggression to their push for silverware. He'll provide some inspiration for the club's young players and will be a favourite with the fans but his notorious indiscipline could cost the Wolves in crucial matches. During his time with the Sydney Roosters he missed 27 matches through suspension.The Wolves also have two of the league's most exciting players in international centre Martin Gleeson and half-back Lee Briers, who at times seems to win matches on his own with his superb kicking game and quick mind. Harlequins - Last season: 7thSuper League's London franchise had a mixed season after linking up with the famous rugby union club. They are largely expected to struggle this season and seem unlikely to break into the top six but coach Brian McDermott certainly has some creative players on his books.The Harlequins seem to be spoiled for choice in the half-backs with Scott Hill, a stand-off who went to last year's Australian Grand Final with the Melbourne Storm, the star signing. McDermott will be looking to Hill to provide some inspiration and on-field direction for a team that last year sometimes seemed to run out of ideas. It is likely his scrumbase partner will be one of the trio of Danny Orr, who is looking to revive his career after a disappointing time with Wigan, France international Julien Rinaldi and veteran play-maker Henry Paul.
The returning Paul may also fancy his chances in the number 9 jersey.Wigan Warriors - Last season: 8thA dreadful start to 2006 threatened the unthinkable - relegation - for the team that dominated the game in the lates 1980s and early 1990s.

Lease Finance Group - They are a scam

This place is a scam!!!!Do NOT sign a lease with this company.They will take money out of your account without telling you.
If your bill is due then the day its due they will call EVERY number they have on file for you about 12 times each, all day, its crazy!! You cant terminate the lease even if your no longer accepting credit cards.
You can buy it out for your monthy charge (which is about $79 a month) TIMES the number of months left on the lease.The employees are rude and when you have a complaint about something they act like they've heard it a million times.review #190374
Oct 03, 2011 #353512
This company started sending me notices in May 2001 after I closed my bank account. Because the a man name Jason Branch of Kansas City Missouri and a company named For Him Processing in Kansas were supposed to set up an Internet business for me and several hundred other victims.
I never received any equipment. However Lease Finance Group continued to bill me in spite of me contacting them with my complaint advising that I never received any equipment and reporting that an application was sent through that I had previously voided out with Jason Branch.Â
I refused to pay this lease because to my knowledge there was no application, because I withdrew it in less than 24 hours. This showed up on my credit report and was still on it until in March 2008 as charged off as bad debt. It showed a closed date of Feb. 2002.
I recently started getting notices from Pushpin Holdings LLC. I immediately went on line and found hundreds of complaints. I'd advise anyone who is getting these notices to refuse to pay them. According to the BBB in April 2011 they received their first complaint about Pushpin. Know your rights!

Jerad Finck - Runaway
…I have been writing for Ripple for about a month and a half and I have to tell you that the best part of being a part of this family is the ridiculous amount of incredible music I'm exposed to. And the artist I'm writing about today is one of my favorite to date…If you haven't heard about this Spokane, WA based songwriter…get on board…you won't be disappointed.
"…Spokane, Washington-based pop-rocker Jerad Finck carries a bright, powerful musical flavor to fans, enlightening them with the sounds of rock-n-roll's future. Finck's sound is accessible and endearing but also forward-thinking, moving the music up a notch and setting a new bar. "
Finck and his band have completed seven national tours covering over 200,000 road miles and 48 States. He's toured and/or performed with Daughtry, Christina Perri, Vertical Horizon, Sister Hazel, Parachute, Edwin McCain, One EskimO, Cracker, Ingrid Michelson, Ingram Hill, Smile Empty Soul, Tony Lucca, Ernie Halter, and several others. He and his band have performed on nearly a dozen Morning TV shows on NBC, CBS, ABC, & Fox and his songs have been featured in movies and television shows on HBO, ESPN, Discovery, CBS, & NBC, among other… Runaway is an amazing song that is pure gold. When I close my eyes…I feel as if I'm listening to the great Billie Joe Armstrong. The song starts out sweet with some nice delayed electric guitar…quickly followed up by an acoustic strumming its way into your heart…preparing you for Jerad's passionate vocal chords. With solid lyrics and a relevant sound, they sound like The Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Oasis, Train, Sister Hazel and, this is important…make them proud. One day, bands will be compared to Jerad. A nice surprise was during the bridge…there was actually a guitar solo!? Short, but nice none the less…paying homage to those before them that knew the simple phrase…"less is more."
…Jerad has runaway with my heart…I'm a new fan!
REVIEW I give him 5 out of 5 Fish!
Nine Times Blue -Falling Slowly
…making the assumption that this band is named after "Nine Times Blue" by the Monkees, the expectation was set…but, did they meet it? Often compared to the Gin Blossoms, the Plain White T's, the Click Five, Jimmy Eat World and The Smithereens…these guys carry on a tradition forged by the classic power-pop bands that preceded them.
Now back to the question did they meet my expectations? YES…yes, they did. I was pleasantly surprised by their single "Falling Slowly." Very relevant to what is currently being played on both traditional radio as well as internet stations like PANDORA and NWCZ Radio. A combination of great lyrics…great songwriting…backing vocals and solid musicianship…mixed and mastered by two-time Grammy-winning producer Don McCollister, who's worked with such top-selling artists as Sister Hazel, Indigo Girls, Third Day and Shawn Mullins…and NOW, Nine Times Blue…it will come as no surprise to me if I hear any of their songs on a new hit show on HBO or Showtime. It has a timeless sense about it in that it also reminds me of the theme song that the Rembrandts did for "Friends" as well as movies like "American Pie." I could go on and on, but this is a very commercial ready band with a great new single, Falling Slowly that has soul and fire driving it…
…I have been falling slowly in love with Nine times Blue…
REVIEW I give them 5 out of 5 Fish!

N.J. police target gun traffickers
Correction printed by The Bergen Record: An article about a new state program tracing illegal guns should have said that the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives maintains a database that tracks information about guns recovered at crime scenes. It does not track all weapons sold in the nation.
By Heather Haddon
The Record
BERGEN COUNTY, N.J. — A new state program is gathering unprecedented information about illegal guns traveling into New Jersey, and police expect to tap those data this year as part of a statewide crackdown on weapons used in violent crimes.

Check it out: VIDEO: 847531.mp4 So, X Rebirth is out (screwed up, but out nonetheless) and apart from Elite: Dangerous, we now have Star Citizen and No Man's Sky on the way as well - both seem quite promising.

It appears that Frontier Developments' project Elite: Dangerous has garnered over 1,310,000 in funding, getting closer to its 1,500,000 stretch goal (the original goal was 1,250,000). Way to go, Frontier! Now, shut up and work, work, work! Oh yes, and apparently if they reach 1.5 mill, that means 10 more ships are going to be added the game (hm, ten more ships are worth 250k?

One of them struck your leg, another your arm. You fell to the ground, trying to stop the pooling blood of your fresh wounds. The woman's blue eyes gleamed with malice as she took out another knife.

... a little we decided to cool off at the cinema. We saw a Will Smith movie called "Focus", a film I hadn't heard of until we arrived at the cinema... Luckily it was actually quite good, though I didn't get to have any popcorn due to the massive breakfast we'd had! This morning my homestay friends booked a reliable bus for me... Apparently many of the busses don't leave until they are full - this explains a lot. This one though left at 10.30am on the dot, so I should ...
Serenity in the highlands
... as if it came from a fairy tale. There was moss on every tree, with green moss surrounding us everywhere. From the top, we had an outstanding view of the highlands. The forest contained a lot of medicinal plants, that the guide showed us. We also saw pitcher plants of different sizes. Some of them were simply huge! The 30 minutes trek was great, and we all enjoyed the silence surrounding the forest. It was a fun day with a very nice group, and one of my ...
A quick stop in Ipoh
... and Suet drove me back to my hotel. The rest of the afternoon was spent inside watching TV and on the internet planning my next few steps travelling around as the wifi was quite good. After the rain had stopped a little later I went out for dinner at a little local hawker centre and then retired back to my room to pack up everything for my departure back to Kuala Lumpur the next day.
The morning of my departure to Kuala Lumpur started with something ...
The Cameron Highlands land of Tea and strawberries
... up and hiding. The weirdest bit of the day though was 100yards from our guesthouse when Dara and I were asked for a picture which to be fair had happened a few times we are British and an excitement! However this time the group produced two bowls of noodles asked us to taste them,rate them, pose with the packets with our thumbs up? Possible advert me thinks! But THEN he asks us to buy some! So we are out of here to Pankor Islands Next Time:Pankor ...
Cameron Highlands - Strawberries, Tea and Tourists
... the highlands are probably the least authentic place we've been to. The town and surrounding attractions are very much geared up for tourists and huge tour buses are a common sight, shuttling people between the main areas of interest. It definitely didn't feel like we were seeing the true Malaysia; whilst the countryside is stunningly beautiful, it was a slightly dull place to visit and very forgettable and it's not somewhere that we would choose to return to if we ever visit Malaysia ...

News in Brief: Clues (Ex-Unicorns), Mike Bones, Witch/Earthless, Grails, and Mia Clarke & Andy Moor
By Ryan Dombal on February 13, 2009 at 4:05 p.m. EST
-- Ever wonder what Unicorns co-founder Alden Penner has been up to since his old band went poof? We'll give you a hint: Clues. Yep, that's his new project's name. Penner and Clues partner Brendan Reed (formerly of Arcade Fire) are readying their self-titled debut album for a May 19 release on Constellation. Check out a sampler here. Interested parties may be chuffed to learn the two are heading out on tour later this month as well.
-- Cool dude NYC singer-songwriter Mike Bones has a new album out on Social Registry called A Fool for Everyone and now he's doing the gentlemanly thing by playing songs from it in bars and clubs across the United States, including many dates with Phosphorescent. Check out the dates here and watch his new video for lovely, crescendoing single "What I Have Left" here.
-- J Mascis is putting the (completely, completely amazing and awesome) Dinosaur Jr. reunion thing to the side for a minute to tour with his (less than completely, completely amazing and awesome) Sabbath-style band Witch, in which he plays drums, rather than guitar. They'll head out with Tee Pee Records buddies Earthless.
-- The first DVD from moody Temporary Residence instrumentalists Grails -- featuring live footage, videos and street preachers on roller skates-- is on its way April 7, whether you are ready or not. It's called Acid Rain and, based on the trailer, you are not ready. They'll also do a few California shows with James Blackshaw next week.
-- Former Electrelane guitarist Mia Clarke writes for this website on occasion, upping our collective coolness at least four notches. We appreciate it. She also still plays guitar on occasion, which is pretty rad too. Clarke recently teamed up with the Ex axe man Andy Moor for an improvisational album called Guitargument, which is out digitally on February 17 via File 13. Get an idea of what the thing sounds like at their MySpace.

-- Wilco have joined the list of bands showing love to indie retailers on Record Store Day. On April 18, indie record stores will start selling copies of Ashes of American Flags, Wilco's DVD document of their winter 2008 tour. The rest of the world gets it two weeks later. Frontman Jeff Tweedy tells Billboard all about it here.
-- The by:Larm festival will take over a whole pile of Oslo, Norway music venues on February 19-21. This year's roster includes Lindstrøm, Annie, Fennesz, the Whitest Boy Alive, Frida Hyvönen, Hanne Hukkelberg, and an insane number of Scandinavian acts that you've never heard of.
--On February 17, Drag City will issue ...For the Whole World to See, the never-heard album from the Detroit proto-punk band Death, whose story reads sort of like the Bad Brains story except a few years earlier and without the whole inventing hardcore thing.
-- The uber-cool German electronic label Kompakt will release Pop Ambient 2009, the latest in its annual compilation series, on February 16. This year, the album includes joints from Tim Hecker, Burger/Voigt, and Jürgen Paape.
The Hold Steady Release Documentary / Live Album
By Tom Breihan on February 3, 2009 at 11:40 a.m. EST
The story of the Hold Steady really is pretty inspirational: Midwestern indie lifers whose brilliant older band (Lifter Puller, act like you know) only really found an audience after it broke up give up on the idea of music as a living, form a classic rock bar band for the fuck of it, and then, after years, blow the fuck up with that. Plus they're all extremely funny dudes who know how to talk (Craig Finn in particular), and Tad Kubler's blasé rock star guitar moves are the sort of thing you could watch all day and not get bored.
All of which is to say that the Hold Steady are basically ideal subjects for a documentary. And that documentary is about to happen. On April 7, Vagrant Records will release a double-disc package called A Positive Rage. (In Europe, Rough Trade will release it on April 6.) The first disc will hold the documentary; the second disc will be a live album that the band recorded on Halloween 2007 at Chicago's Metro (we were there!). It'll be the Hold Steady's first live album, and given that this is one of the truly great bands out there tearing up the road right now, it should be pretty essential. The enhanced version will also include the three bonus tracks from the Stay Positive physical edition ("Ask Her for Adderall", "Cheyenne Sunrise", and "Two Handed Handshake") and two more unreleased joints ("Spectres" and "40 Bucks").
But the real reason to cop A Positive Rage will probably be the first disc, a 53-minute documentary that starts out with their first-ever London show and follows the band on their 2006 U.S. tour behind third album Boys & Girls in America. That means it'll show this band right around the tipping point where they became serious club-circuit headliners. The doc will even include footage of a Hold Steady show at Minneapolis's First Avenue, the hometown spot where Prince taped Purple Rain. This should be life-affirming.
In related Hold Steady news, they'll spend spring touring hard, since that's what they do. They've also got a few WTF shows coming up, including a few dates opening for Counting Crows in the UK and, reportedly, a gig at TV chef Rachael Ray's SXSW party.
News in Brief: Lil Wayne, Little Boots, the Streets, Daniel Johnston
By Ryan Dombal on January 7, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. EST
-- We all know Lil Wayne has his own incredible sports blog on ESPN's website, where he talks about everything from the Dallas Cowboys to Manny Ramirez to 1990s alt-rockers Semisonic ("Closing Time" is his dream closing pitcher song). And now he's guested on ESPN's pigskin chat show 1st and 10-- watch the entire episode here. Personal highlight: When ESPN hot head Skip Bayless admits his favorite Carter III song is "Monster" aka "Pussy Monster", which is quite lewd...and isn't even on the album.
-- From Lil to Little: The most hyped-up, fresh-faced British disco diva of 2009 must be Little Boots (aka Victoria Hesketh). She's already gracing magazine covers and now the "Stuck on Repeat" singer is finishing-up her debut LP in Hollywood along with planning a European tour and releasing a brand new cover of the Giorgio Moroder-Freddie Mercury track "Love Kills". Big things, big things.
-- Australian Streets fans, your time is now. Mike Skinner & Co. will head Down Under the beginning of next month for a brief seven-date tour. U.S. Streets fans, your time is...not now. In a recent blog post, Skinner said it looks like he won't have the funds to make it over to America to support his latest, Everything Is Borrowed. "I've been getting paid to tour all over the world for years as a result of those overpriced CD things," he wrote. "It has to come to an end at some point."
-- Daniel Johnston fans can catch their hero in all his awkward glory on a just-released 23-track live DVD, The Angel and Daniel Johnston-- Live at the Union Chapel, taped in London in 2007. Check here for a trailer and ordering info.
While We Were Out

At the end of every year, Pitchfork News takes a few weeks off to celebrate the holidays and remember what life is like away from the computer. Now, after a well-deserved break, we're back in full swing, ready to keep you up-to-date on the goings-on of all your favorite (and least favorite) artistsin 2009.
Here's a brief run-down of a few notable things that happened during the break.
Happy new year!
The day before Christmas, Wilco sent out an email newsletter outlining their plans for 2009. In addition to a new album in the spring, the band will release the concert DVD Ashes of American Flags in February or March via Nonesuch . Consisting of footage from Wilco's February 2008 tour in support of latest album Sky Blue Sky , Ashes of American Flags was created by Brendan Canty (yes, the drummer from Fugazi) and Christoph Green at Trixie Films.
Wilco will hit the road in the South in April, including a show at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on April 25, and will hit Spain in May. In January, Jeff Tweedy will play a trio of Midwestern solo shows, while Nels Cline will tour California with various combos.
On a (literally) related note, if you'd like to feel woefully inadequate as a blogger, writer, or human being in general, check out Jeff's son Spencer Tweedy's blog , which everybody seemed to discover the week before Christmas. A shockingly erudite 13-year-old, Spencer writes about world travel (he's hanging out with his dad and Neil Finn in New Zealand right now), technology, music, politics, and Bar/Bat Mitzvot . Let's hope he doesn't discover drugs or sex any time soon.
As previously reported, Radiohead will spend a good chunk of March 2009 touring Central and South America.
Over the break, Radiohead revealed that German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk will join them for the entire trek.
Good for them -- both of those bands could use some nice, healthy tans.
Like Wilco, Sigur Rós are also preparing a live concert film for release in 2009. Director Vincent Morisset (of Arcade Fire "Neon Bible" clip/ Miroir Noir movie fame) filmed the band's November 20 and 21, 2008 performances at Alexandra Palace in London.
Sigur Rós' website reports that the film "is currently being edited in montreal and promises to be a nice contrast to Heima , which had a lot of links to context, time and surroundings, whereas this forthcoming concert footage will be purely performance-based."
Because there aren't enough Bruce Springsteen greatest hits albums already, and because Wal-Mart needs more stuff to sell, Billboard.com reports that Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band's Greatest Hits will hit the discount behemoth's shelves exclusively on January 13. It features 12 tracks spanning the time period between 1973's "Rosalita" and 2007's "Radio Nowhere", and is completely and totally unnecessary.
Expect Bruce overload this winter, what with the E Street Band's Super Bowl halftime show , a Golden Globe nomination -- and possible Oscar nomintion-- for "The Wrestler" (from the Darren Aronofsky film of the same name), and brand new studio album Working on a Dream , out January 27 via Columbia.
That's the Working on a Dream album cover up there. Man, this guy hasn't had a good album cover since Born in the U.S.A. , has he?

Björk spent much of 2008 working on ways to improve the environmental and economic situations in Iceland, as has been well - documented in Pitchfork's pages . Billboard.com reports that she ended the year taking a financial stake in her home country's future, by partnering with the Reykjavík venture capital firm Audur Capital to create the BJÖRK venture fund .
According to Audur's website, the BJÖRK fund "is intended for investors seeking investment opportunities in new venture creation and the business development of small companies with the objective of catalyzing the recovery of the Icelandic economy." These companies "must be sustainable, both in terms of financial returns as well as being socially and environmentally responsible."
The Hold Steady just keep on truckin. Following a run of dates in Australia in late January/early Februrary, not to mention keyboardist Franz Nicolay's solo trek in support of his album Major General , the Hold Steady will hit the road in the States in late March and early April. Secretly Canadian rockers The War on Drugs support on all of the spring U.S. shows.
However, before all of that, the Hold Steady will play a one-off gig at the House of Blues in Chicago on January 15. The show is presented by Cubs Charities, and Tom Morello is also on the bill.
Over the break, we said goodbye to three musical leading lights: legendary singer/actress/activist Eartha Kitt (pictured) , eternal star of stage and screen (including her memorable stint as Catwoman on the "Batman" television show in the 1960s); guitarist Delaney Bramlett, known for his work as a sideman to Eric Clapton and George Harrison as well as half of the duo Delaney & Bonnie; and influential jazz trumpet player Freddie Hubbard.

Rain spoils sponsor's final innings
NatWest Trophy final: Frustration at Lord's as the domestic one-day showcase finds a wet reception
Sunday 27 August 2000
It was generally deemed as a wise and overdue precaution when the NatWest Trophy Final was moved forward a week. Tradition has it that the customary date of the first Saturday in September produced too many one-sided games in which the pitch had too much early morning moisture and the key manoeuvres lay in winning the toss, handing the ball to the side's deadliest seam merchant and checking with the county that they had a year's supply of silver polish.
It was generally deemed as a wise and overdue precaution when the NatWest Trophy Final was moved forward a week. Tradition has it that the customary date of the first Saturday in September produced too many one-sided games in which the pitch had too much early morning moisture and the key manoeuvres lay in winning the toss, handing the ball to the side's deadliest seam merchant and checking with the county that they had a year's supply of silver polish.
At least there was play. The 20th and last final to be sponsored by the company which is now part of the Royal Bank of Scotland had no such thing. Play was not abandoned until 5.15pm but almost constant drizzle and poor light made nonsense of the decision to stage this showpiece in August. Surely, there must be some way to blame the England and Wales Cricket Board for their lack of foresight and planning.
If it was a rotten day for the players of Gloucestershire, the defending champions, and Warwickshire and the crowd of some 10,000 who bothered to turn out, it was also a miserable valediction for the sponsors. Still, they have one more day of being associated with the oldest one-day competition in the world. Perhaps it would have been fitting if their replacements could have been named as soon as the match finishes. "NatWest is dead, long live Joe Soap." It will not happen because the Joe Soap in question has yet to be found.
The ECB is still searching for the competition's third sponsor since it began life in 1963 as the One-Day Knockout Competition, sponsored by Gillette, became the Gillette Cup the following summer and was transferred to the present lot in 1981. Gillette pulled out because folk identified them far more with cricket than razor blades. As it happens, some still do. This is probably not a concern for the potential new sponsor.
Progress at least is being made in securing the £2m a year it will take to win the sponsorship and give a new name to the cup. Terry Blake, the ECB's marketing director, said yesterday that while talks were proceeding with several inquisitive parties they were in close contact with one in particular. A deal could be only weeks away.
The appeal may have been considerably raised by further expansion of the competition. Two years ago it became what the chairman of the ECB, Lord MacLaurin, called cricket's FA Cup. The trophy, reduced from 60 to 50 overs a side, was thrown open to all the 38 county board sides as well as the 18 first-class clubs. Now, cricket could be getting its version of the European Cup.
The ECB and the West Indies board are discussing a quadrangular competition to be played in the Caribbean early each spring. The two finalists of the the English trophy will probably play the two finalists of the West Indies equivalent.
Blake is confident that this allied to the traditional appeal of the competition in the shires and the vast scope of spreading the word on the web sites, will harness a sponsor. "The Natwest Trophy was changing and NatWest was also changing as a brand. Having experienced the World Cup last year they decided that their future lay in the international one-day game."
If a possible difficulty in persuading a new sponsor is that the competition is too closely linked with NatWest then the biggest obstacle remains, perversely, the England team. If they can beat the West Indies in the Fifth Test, cricket will be as good as reborn.
Blake will surely collect domestic one-day associates and a replacement for the insurance group who have sponsored the Test matches for 22 years as he walks home from The Oval. "It certainly makes a difference and at least we're going there 2-1 up. I remember it was only weeks ago, however, that we were almost 2-0 down. I was at Lord's as England made their way to the final runs to win the match and on the scoreboard the scores drew level. Then for some reason it went back one and I thought, oh no, at least we'd got a tie. I could put up with a tie if necessary." How he must have heaved with relief when Dominic Cork at last slid the ball through the covers for England's two-wicket victory. If the recovery has made his job a trifle easier - he was in sanguine form - so has the partnership with Channel 4, who have been as keen on getting appropriate sponsors as the Board.
The hugely polished and pleasant manner in which they have presented cricket - light years away from the stilted formality of the BBC and a few urbane steps ahead of Sky - can only help in convincing companies that cricket is immensely worthwhile. Not that it was at any point yesterday.
But at least it gave the opportunity to see that the much-maligned ECB is learning. Lord's would not have been full yesterday even in ideal conditions. Some 4,000 tickets remained unsold.
"We have got to be more flexible with our ticketing and pricing policy," said Blake. "At between £50 and £325 they were also probably too high. Next year we will revise this. We want to get the young in and we don't want empty seats. And don't forget there have been two one-day internationals, two Test matches and two finals at Lord's this year." Well, whose idea was that then?
First, let us hope for an appropriate farewell to NatWest, whatever their business is, today.

To-day we pitched our lodges under Rising Wolf Mountain, that massive, sky-piercing, snow-crested height of red-and-gray rock which slopes up so steeply from the north shore of Upper Two Medicine Lake. This afternoon we saw upon it, some two or three thousand feet up toward its rugged crest, a few bighorn and a Rocky Mountain goat. But we may not kill them! Said Tail-Feathers-Coming-over-the-Hill: "There they are! Our meat, but the whites have taken them from us, even as they have taken everything else that is ours!"

Fairy Tail Fanfic part 2Natsu sat at the bar, not looking happy at all while thinking about Lucy facing a dangerous animal. What if something happened?! Who would help her when she was all alone by herself?!Fairy Tail Fanfic part 24 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
Thinking about this made him sick so he stood up and took a look at the request board. One job caught his eye, a group of weak bandits had taken over a little village. Nothing serious, though there was quite a lot of money to win. Maybe he could persuade Lucy to do that job with him after she came back and rested some days. He would even give her his part of the reward if she wanted the money so badly. He didn't really need it anyway and if he could persuade her like that, he wouldn't hesitate to do so. He didn't want to see Lucy going off on a job on her own anymore. It made his chest shrink and his heart ache, and while she was away he desperately waited for her return, scared to death something could have happened to her. When he told Happy about it, he was prepared for any kind of joke, but indeed Hap

My Name is Earl: Our Other Cops is On (parts 1 & 2)
by Paul Goebel, posted Nov 2nd 2007 11:58AM
(S03E07/S03E08) Crazy ho! - Earl Hickey
Seeing how the first Cops episode was my personal favorite I was psyched to see another one. I love seeing all the gang back together again; one-legged girlfriend, now-deceased kidnapping victim, throat cancer survivor, gay Kenny and the addition of Billy Gardell as Officer Hoyne was a smart casting move.
The great thing about these kind of episodes is that they seem like a bunch of random jokes and scenes strung together documentary style but when it's over, you realize that an intricately woven plot has just unfolded.
