JGoodies Swing Suite 1.9.0
Create Sophisticated, Professional, and Rich User Interfaces
I've released the JGoodies Swing Suite version 1.9.0.
This suite of Swing productivity libraries has been moved
towards the JSR 296 (Swing application framework) draft.
JGoodies focuses on Java look, UI design and usability.
We provide articles, libraries, example applications,
a Swing application architecture, and a Swing framework,
all intended to make Java look good and work well.
The commercial JGoodies Swing Suite helps you build
sophisticated and rich Swing UIs. It is built upon
our free JGoodies libraries. The Swing Suite adds a
commercial user interface framework, priority support
for the open source JGoodies, and brings all sources
for the public JGoodies tools and demos.
The Swing Suite demonstrates Java desktop patterns,
shows how to tie things together, how to build elegant
applications efficiently, helps you get started with
Swing quickly, and it standardizes how your team works
with domain objects, Swing views, and presentation logic.
The Suite contains a rich skeleton application that
you can use as a jump-start for your next Swing project.
All JGoodies libraries work with standard and customized
Swing components. Although the libraries guide you through
the production process, they have been designed to work
with many different programming styles. Find details at:
Every Swing Suite purchase is also a means to help me
finance my many open source Java desktop activities.
If you are a software professional who saves time
and money using the free JGoodies desktop libraries
Looks, Forms, Binding, or Validation, please consider
licensing the JGoodies Swing Suite.
The Swing Suite has been moved towards the JSR 296 (Swing
application framework). Since its early days the Swing Suite's
User Interface Framework (UIF) addresses issues that are
now being standardized in the JSR 296: application life cycle,
resource organization, action management, and persisting UI state.
The JSR has not reached the "Early Draft" review state of the
Java Community Process. However, some concepts are stable and
already supercede solutions used in older Swing Suite versions.
The Swing Suite contains an implementation of a stable subset
of the JSR 296 pre-draft. The Suite 1.8 moved its life cycle
and resource organization towards the JSR 296. The Suite 1.9
contains an overhauled JSR 296-like action management. All
example applications have been updated to use and demonstrate
the new resource organization and action management.
The Binding, Validation, and User Interface Framework (UIF)
as well as the example applications have been moved to Java 5.

need or no-need for a product update/upgrade here:
The Swing Suite 1.9.0 final is available from
the password protected product download page:
Your Swing Suite license does not expire, and a renewal
is not necessary. However, a renewal is appreciated
to finance the maintenance and further improvements
of the Swing Suite and open source JGoodies libraries.
Depending on the version you have, a renewal is more
or less interesting. Here's a table with the estimated
update importance. Importance to update from version:
1.8.0 - interesting
1.7.0 - recommended
1.6.x - recommended
1.5.x - strongly recommended
Best regards,
Karsten Lentzsch

When the Lisbon Treaty came into force on 1 December 2009, one of the big winners was the European Parliament which gained equal status with the Council of Ministers in most EU decision-making, including for the first time agricultural policy-making (although with some ambiguity about its role in setting prices and aid levels to which Wyn Grant has drawn attention). There is considerable interest in whether these new powers will be used to promote or block CAP reform. The pessimistic view is that the EP will become the focus of intense sectoral lobbying which will be used to block reform.
Some light may be thrown on the way the EP will exercise its new legislative role by looking at trade policy, another area where the Parliament gained new powers under the Lisbon Treaty. Currently, the EU-South Korean Free Trade Agreement, which was negotiated under the old Nice Treaty rules, is up for ratification under the new Lisbon rules. According to a report in EUObserver, there is a possibility that the EP could reject the agreement, in large part because of lobbying by European small car manufacturers.
The EUObserver report notes that a debate in the Parliament next week will throw light on the stance of the European legislature, with observers predicting support or opposition is likely to fall along national rather than political lines. One MEP, Christofer Fjellner, a member of the parliament's trade committee and a supporter of the agreement is quoted: "It would be very disturbing if the first thing the European Parliament does with its new powers is to take special interests to heart and increasingly act in a protectionist way."
A signpost of things to come in agricultural policy ?

Tahoe Lakefront Cabinlakefront cabins are on the West Shore. From Tahoe City eastward along Highway 28, you'll find the North Shore's Tahoe Lakefront cabins that are generally closer in proximity to each other, but not lacking in any way. Private piers are common, but not present on every property. Another consideration can be the depth of the pier. Some North Shore locations can be shallow out a great distance, and annual variations in lake levels can effect useability. There are also a number of Lakefront Condo developments around Tahoe, with most of them on the North Shore. Some properties have sandy beaches, and others are rocky. But all are uniquely Tahoe, and as a lifelong local, Bret Churchman is uniquely qualified to represent your interest. Schedule your private Tahoe Lakefront cabin tour today.

"The good thing is that if it is a dog fight, we know we can stay and take part in a dog fight. We took part in a few during the Euros and we certainly dug in against Poland and showed the right sort of character and the right type of determination.
"If it's a dog fight, then it's a dog fight. There will be some groups where one team shoots away and others where it's going to be quite close to the end. I still think that we will improve.
"We have a lot of younger players who are still finding their way at international level and we have a few who are to come back. If you'd said to me, given the circumstances, that we'd have eight points and been unbeaten, I'd have been happy to accept that."

I love this, but it's a shame about the price. I won't buy this again, or at least not for a long time because I'm assuming the tiny pot is going to last me forever because I only need to use a tiny bit of it to cover imperfections, and I only use this for nights out or important events, etc.
If this concealer was cheaper, I would make it my everyday concealer, but because of the price I'll only use it for special events, etc. But overall, I think it covers really well and it's probably everything anyone could want in a concealer in terms of coverage, but some people would probably be put off because it contains mineral oil.

This covers up like nobody's business and looks very nice. But I remembered why I didn't get it years ago (other than the price) the Mineral Oil in it :( If it didn't have that this would be the bestest concealer EVER. So richly pigmented and the tiny pot will last forever. If you don't break out or mineral oil doesn't affect you, go get it!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this concealer!!!! It is the best concealer that I have ever found!! My Make Up For Ever full cover concealer comes 2nd to this.It covers up my acne and acne scars beautifully and naturally! I apply it with a concealer brush and it is the best thing ever. It has finally ended my search for an HG concealer. The only downfall is the PRICE! It is about $55 which is a whole lot of money for a broke college student like me to pay. The jar it comes in, though, is huge and you only need the tiniest bit so it will last forever. I had a sample that lasted me a long time and due to the price, I have not bought a full jar. Maybe I should ask for one for my birthday.....

After abandoning this product as a foundation - I found it difficult to not get a masky look - I am in LOVE with this as an undereye concealer. I've used BB concealer on and off for several years, but find it too moist and end up with mascara/eyeliner smudges under my eyes after a few hours.
SSE, on the other hand, is creamy enough to blend thorougly - and you do have to blend, and blend fairly quickly - it dries to a satin finish with no smudges. It is amazing how pigmented/opaque this product is, so as everyone else notes in their reviews, you need to only use a tiny amount. Another plus for SSE over BB is you get a TON of product with SSE, so it is a better value.
To apply, I warm it a bit between my finders, then use BB concealer brush to distribute it around the eye area, then pat it smooth with my ring finger. You can't rush the application of this product though - it is easy to over-apply. However, it is well worth the money and extra effort!

This concealer is the BEST I've ever used...and I have tried out quite a few. I have very fair skin with dark undereye circles and I had trouble finding a concealer that wasn't too yellow for my skin and that was thick enough to actually conceal the dark circles and stay there for a couple of hours. I was using Amazing Cosmetics Amazing concealer until I found this! This is the holy grail of concealers - I have had mine for over a year and it isn't even halfway gone even though I use it every day - the tiniest bit goes the longest way. I combine the concealer with my face moisturizer to make it into a foundation - this product is amazing.
Just go to Sephora and try this out and see how much of a difference it makes!

For those of you out there with melasma looking for the right concealer, I can't say enough good things about this product! As others have mentioned, you need to experiment some to get the application right for you, but once you do, this stuff is amazing. (I use primer, then apply a tiny bit of SSE with my fingers and blend) Covers the darkness and leaves a natural color and surface in its place. I've tried Cover FX and Dermablend but this is better by far. My only wish is that they add SPF to it.

I am so in love with this concealer/foundation. I apply it with my fingers. This gives me a flawless finish every time. I love that it is thick, smooth and creamy. It is also light weight. I live in FL and wear this during the summer. I think every woman needs this in their aresnal. This is a must have for me. Yes it is expensive but you only need a little bit. I will repurchase!

The is the single most disappointing product of my makeup junkie life. I FINALLY get to check this out and what I expected was a creamy, high coverage, decent color selection product that was a kick butt concealer/multipurpose product. What I realized when I finally checked it out was that it is PASTY, not creamy, the colors all skew insanely yellow/orange (the MA couldn't find a decent match for my NW20 skin). It is very pigmented and you would only need a dot to do the trick, but OH BOY...everything else was a hot mess for. I walked out of Nordies...sooooo disappointed. I took a sample home but it isn't getting any better. I guess if you had serious things to cover up, this may be good, but not for me.

I am C40 and use SX11 for this product. My skin is spotty from old acne marks and also have dark circles. This does wonders for these problem areas. It is rather thick and a little goes a long way. I mix a tiny dab of this with KA primer and apply. I am becoming a huge fan of KA products. have not been disappointed with anything I've tried.

I'm a make up artist specializing in bridal make up. Our country is very humid and I must say this is the best concealer out there!!! Doesn't cake but you have to have the right make up brush for this to achieve the "flawless" look without caking.

METRO NEWS BRIEFS: NEW JERSEY; Ex-Member of Assembly Pleads Guilty in Bribery
Published: January 6, 1999
NEWARK— A former member of the State Assembly pleaded guilty to a Federal charge of conspiracy yesterday for his part in a bribery scheme to steer insurance contracts awarded by Passaic County, said the United States Attorney, Faith S. Hochberg.
Angelo Joseph Fortunato, who represented Essex County in the State Assembly from 1978 to 1986, could be sentenced to as much as five years in prison and fined $250,000 for a single count of conspiracy, a statement from Ms. Hochberg said.
According to court documents, Mr. Fortunato, 52, was working as a consultant for an insurance company when he was directed by a county official to distribute $70,000 in payments to the official's friends and associates from 1994 to 1996.
In exchange, court documents said, the company was awarded more than $1 million in county contracts. A spokesman for Ms. Hochberg, Michael Drewniak, declined to name the county official or the insurance company. ''There is an ongoing investigation, that's all we can say,'' Mr. Drewniak said.
Mr. Fortunato's lawyer, Theo W. Daunno, declined to say whether his client was cooperating with the investigation. But, Mr. Daunno said, ''A lot of politically influential people are being investigated.''

DescriptionSports games put the player in control of individual athletes/competitors or sports managers. In the latter case, the sports game is also considered a managerial simulation.
Most sports games are dedicated to popular team sports (e.g. football/soccer) and are action-oriented. A sports game that deliberately favors arcade action over realistic simulation, or adds arcade challenges non-existing in the real-life sport is considered both an action and a sports game.

Washington State: A great place to do business!
- Top 10 Reasons
- Exports Giant
- The Living Is Easy
- 8 Key Sectors
- A Smart Investment
The home of Business Legends such as Amazon, Costco, Expedia, Microsoft, Nordstrom, PACCAR, Starbucks and REI, Washington State offers site selectors and investors a critical mass of highly skilled workers in aerospace, advanced manufacturing, clean technology, IT, life sciences and maritime trades as well as a culture of creativity and collaboration that brought us the age of jet and space travel, spawned an international coffee culture with a language all its own, built digital empires out of slivers of silicon and strings of binary code, and in the process, fundamentally changed the way people around the world shop, travel, eat, drink, relax, dress and think.
Where's Washington?
Washington State is located in the northwest corner of the United States. It is bordered by Canada to the north, Oregon to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Washington is equidistant between Asian and European markets via direct flights from Sea-Tac International Airport, an ideal gateweay to business around the world. And some of its ports are a day's sail closer to Asia than other deepwater ports on the west coast, including Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Yes, we invented that...
Every state wants to lay claim to inventing one thing or another, but the truth is, Washington State has invented some pretty amazing things. From the quirky to the downright astounding, our culture of creativity has changed the world with its countless innovations and inventions.
Check out our interactive timeline...
The global aerospace leader
Washington's aerospace sector reach is truly global. A Boeing 737 takes off every 2.2 seconds somewhere around the world and billions of dollars in commercial aircraft are exported annually. What's more, the state's supply chain connects Washington State on an international scale, with parts and components arriving daily from dozens of countries.

Good fish and shrimp for reasonable price. Family loves the fish and I love the shrimp. Family dining.
Our company went here for dinner - 7 of us. Everyone was very pleased with what they received. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. Menu has a good verity. We will be going back.
So far, everything we have tried on the menu is good. We like the grilled white fish. Their French fries are the best.
Whenever I ordered shrimp scampi, the shrimp as somewhat inedible and the shrimp was cold. The veggies also looked like they came straight out of the refrigerator.
It looks like it's itching to be on Restaurant: Impossible.
I got a good meal at a reasonable price. There was plenty food for the meal and cost. You can order to your liking.
My family has enjoyed eating here multiple times over the last twenty years. It is a seafood place in Lubbock, Texas. There will be no line caught flounder flown in overnight, but it is far from the one star ratings a few have given it. The shrimp are tasty and can be fried or grilled. Catfish is prepared well. If...
I went to this place to eat, I should have turned back around but I said what the hell I'll try it..I'm still regretting it gross. The cooks put there nasty hands on ur food wit no gloves, they go to the restroom and not wash there hands wen they come out. I just left my food on the counter...
up front, I have to admit that I can think of no other place where you can get seafood at these prices. my wife and I took our son and all of us had the fried platter consisting of 5 shrimp, a stuffed crab, and a catfish fillet with a baked potato and hush puppies for 11.99. it was good...
When you visit Shrimp Galley be prepared most of the patrons are elderly. I guess they know a good deal when they see one. The shrimp plates are good, the combo plates are good and the catfish is very good as well. It is clean, the atmosphere is plain but the food is good.
There is several places to get fried seafood, but I believe Shrimp Galley is the best when it comes to fried catfish and shrimp. They have three different types of fried shrimp (must try the butterfly shrimp, it is the best!!). There are several items to pick from the menu besides catfish and shrimp, there is white fish and chicken...

Kansas Girl
Kicked off the day at 06:45 in my office (third booth to right) at Mel's Diner on Sunset, ready for a shoot north of LA [see LA Woman]. Nothing like a good diner omelette to get you fuelled up for porno production. The PA, Beatrice, picked me up and took a cool route out past Laurel Canyon onto the freeway. We picked up the producer-director, Ronan McCloskey, on the way.
We drove back to the gated community, the big innocuous house, and waited for the arrival of the 'new girl'. She came through the white picket garden gate carrying her cloth bag of costumes which included an electric blue bra and various short dresses – none were used in the end, everything was selected for her by the boss-woman. Shortly after the boss-man arrived, casual in his jeans and T-shirt, looking relaxed, not at all thrown by the fact he was going to be nailing this 22 year old on camera within the hour.
We began shooting. As the producer-director was a bit short-handed and was self-shooting he asked me to do sound and then that morphed into doing the interviews. I had a ball – it's been a while.
The wife&husband dynamic duo who were making this porno explained this was a very straight-forward kind – the Interview Video. The new girl gets interviewed, has some photos taken, does a "tease" (ie takes off her clothes) and then gets screwed on the couch (only two weeks old, shouldn't we get some more easy to change covers?) The couch ends up getting covered in fake tan. The New Girl is wearing fake tan because she's trying to cover up an injury from her first porno which was only 18 days ago. This is her fourth. Her knees are scabbed because she was doing a reverse cowgirl and got really bad friction burn off a rug. She's done her best to disguise the wounds.
I get a chance to chat a bit by the pool before things start. She's from the middle of the country and has flown to LA (her first visit) to do her debut five sessions of porn. She is using the money to pay her way through university. She wants to become a psychiatric nurse. She earns enough in this hour and a bit to outstrip two weeks normal work on double shifts.
Interesting details come out of the convo. It reminds me of a conversation I had with a stripper when I was quite fucked-up (in a good way) on my stag night, upstairs at El Parador. I can't recall a word of that exchange (I couldn't within two hours of it) but the vibe was similar to this. This New Girl has had body confidence issues. She doesn't seem to see the probable connection with this new activity of taking all your clothes off, though I try to see if she'll acknowledge the link.
She takes all her clothes off. Good body, even prettier face. The whole thing's interesting to see – once. But somehow sad.
The stills are incredible – the boss-man/male performer is so close he must have the widest lens ever. From two inches from her arse how the hell is he getting her smiling face in?
When the time for sex arrives we withdraw to the other side of the white garage where the horses are. I read my book about Bob Dylan and Blood on the Tracks in the bright California sun, relieved to have a bit of another world and culture.
After the scene the boss-couple strip off the couch cover and I interview them. He has a natural gift for getting hard on camera and has a big dick. That's how he got into porn while still a student in his native Europe. (She referred to this capability as "strong / strength" during our intro chat the day before.). She modelled, lost her clothes along the way, then felt the urge to have sex with guys like this on camera. She reads avidly and has a fine collection of books lying around the room in whose corner the fucking took place. She's got a signed Richard Dawkins book of which she's proud.
He is charming and friendly, animated and very helpful. She is pretty and practical, cares about story-telling and delights in her young family. I learnt a good lesson a while ago during my sabbatical about books and covers. This experience is related. I don't feel compelled to make judgments moral or otherwise. These are decent people and they have a very professional attitude and pride. The same is true of the New Girl – she really wants to do a good job.
The second New Girl is postponed because the boss-man was feeling light-headed towards the end of the scene. The New Girl had talked during her interview for us about how she has clear boundaries about what she won't do and she listed them – cream-pies (she politely explains what that is), group sex, 'torture', anal, etc. "Do you do anal in your own sex life?" asks the boss-man with disingenuous charm and out of the blue. She confirms she does. "I thought so." "How did you know?" I asked with disingenuous charm. "I licked her ass-hole during the scene." It was a point-of-view scene so he was filming it and licking away at the same time. It must be a bit like playing Twister. His question coming out of nowhere somehow punctured a veil of politeness or euphemism which us outsiders maintained. Anyhow, the second New Girl is coming tomorrow. Just as well, reckon I'd had enough for one day.
Watching and filming him saying goodbye to 'Olivia' was fascinating – slightly awkward given what they'd just been up to. We too took our leave and headed back to cold beer and guacamole out back of a Mexican on Sunset. An all-round exotic day…
LA Woman
Well, that was an interesting day. Got weirder and weirder. Started out from the rock-steeped Sunset Marquis hotel (shades of Joe Strummer and The Stones) past the Hockneyesque pool with my colleague Jody to explore the Sunset Strip. (Had already done half a day's work in the overlap zone between PST and BST.) We checked out the Viper Room (I watched Running On Empty two nights ago and was reflecting on River Phoenix's premature passing) and Whiskey-a-Go-Go (shades of Jim & The Doors). Pulled into an old-school bookstore and picked up some vinyl including Five Leaves Left, featuring a photo on the back by Keith Morris whose original hangs on our stairs at home.
[I'm writing this post at the junction of Mulholland Drive and Laurel Canyon (shades of Crosby and Young), driving out to a film shoot in Hidden Hills.]
Peeled off into Beverly Hills where we checked out residential LA with its fake-grass and fanciful flowers. Short pit-stop for an iced coffee where we people-watched – a male jogger with no top and tight lycra bottoms leaving nothing to the imagination, jogging being the operative word; a woman all in black with her friend all in white, Spy vs Spy, too old for their Porsche, faces distorted through Beverly Hills surgery. Then on to Melrose where we landed in the middle of a paparazzi ambush of Hollywood actress Hilary Duff, in a sheer shirt, carefully showing off her black lacy bra to the media collaborators (in this Princess Di style 'accidental' encounter going about her everyday business).
So far so LA LA. Then we hook up with the director and PA of a short form series I've got shooting out here about the LA underworld. The PA can't start her car without breathing into a breathalyzer device (very Lynchian) due to a past DUI. Every time she does a sharp manoeuvre, like rounding a tight bend, the thing goes off and she has to do a test on the fly. All a bit Blue Velvet.
[Now on Ventura Freeway, shades of America (the US band that made it big from Kentish Town). She's sitting beside me now as I write, device across her lap.]
We head out for a meeting with our key interviewee, a porn star made good through the family-run porn business she's set up – both she and her hubby are leading stars. She's pretty and delightful, lives in a gated community north of the city, loves reading and horses. She showed us around the house and facilities, all set up to be optimized for porn shooting – the pool, the living room, the out-buildings. Up in the office were the costumes – tiny skirts and huge heels. She shows us an 11-page script for a two and a half hour movie – the sex only takes up a line, the actors aren't great with dialogue she explains. She opens the porn cupboard under the stairs – baby oil, condoms, hard drives, medication.
Back in the house we have a flowing chat which ranges from the impact of having a porn-star husband on their sex life (don't ask if he's done two scenes that day) to the two-weekly blood and urine tests (darn, there goes my hopes of a porn-star career, phobic about blood tests), from the reaction of her family to her vocation to her preference for working with only the four or five stars she actually fancies, from the rise of a Viagra generation of stars without the "strength" of the previous generation like her husband to her passage from nudie pics to porn films which she really felt a pull to do. She revealed that that cliché of young girl shows up in LA to became a starlet and drifts into porn is the wrong way round – girls with a bit of porn experience suddenly take up acting lessons and think why not take a crack at it. She described the experience of working with newbies who show up with a yeast infection, not fit for action, and little knowledge of their own bodies or sexual hygiene due to their roots in low socio-economic groups. All this over coffee at the dining table, not your everyday convo but a suitably weird adventure.
The crew and I repair to the bar of the Sunset Marquis to plan the shoot the next day. Two casting couch films. New girls. How LALA is that going to be …?
Placeres Simples Dos
Palm trees. Browsing flea markets. Rum'n'Raisin ice cream (especially in South of France, seriously alcohol-soaked). Waves. Working away quietly with someone sleeping in the room. Chalky old-school mineral (Vichy) water. Collecting things. Collections. Traditional shops. Fresh sheets. Beautifully designed playing cards. Harbours. Breasts. Siestas. Playing backgammon in the shade after lunch. Strolling the city at sundown. Teaching your children stuff. Deep sleep.
Boredom Boredom B'dum B'dum
Today is Record Shop Day. I've been frequenting mine (Alan's in East Finchley) plenty recently so I'm just making an internal nod to indy record shops and I've just played a classic record Spiral Scratch by (the) Buzzcocks (albeit not on vinyl, I'm in the wrong room) – the track I played is Boredom because I've been thinking about it a lot yesterday and today.
I'm living in this movie
But it doesn't move me
I'm the man that's waiting for the phone to ring
Hear it ring-a-ding-a-fucking-ding
You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom, boredom
I was just out jogging, listening to a podcast with Irish writer John Banville talking about Raymond Chandler and Philip Marlowe. Banville, under his low-brow pen-name Benjamin Black (which I don't much like – as fake as they come, a bit like Julian Barnes' Dan Kavanagh), recently wrote a Marlowe book at the request of Chandler's estate, The Black-Eyed Blonde. Marlowe stories usually start with the gumshoe sitting bored in his down-at-heel office waiting for something to happen, usually a dame walking through the door to give him a knight-errant mission.
Then late last night I was listening to a radio programme from BBC Radio 4 called The Buchan Tradition about John Buchan, marking the centenary year of The 39 Steps. Richard Hannay is bored in London at the start of that ripping yarn when lo and behold a spy dies on his living room carpet and the adventure begins.
That's also often the case with Sherlock Holmes – he's bored out of his brain, coked off his face, ennui has well and truly set in when a character shows up at 221b with a juicy mystery to solve.
One of my favourites, a resident of The Shelf of Honour, The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers, opens with the protagonist bored in the "dead and fermenting city", London in the dog-days of late summer. When the opportunity crops up to sail around the Baltic and North Sea coasts, in spitting distance of imperial Germany, with an English eccentric in an Aran jumper, it's the perfect cure not just to boredom, but also to the complacency and materialism of modern life. One of my favourite scenes is when Carruthers, the narrator, can't fit his trunk through the opening into the Dulcibella, the boat he is due to go off for a trip in and he has to dump most of his stuff (which he never really needed).
Recently I watched again one of my all-time favourite movies, Apocalypse Now, with Enfant Terrible No. 1 (a convert to The Godfather movies). Damn it's good. Great. Nearly perfect. It opens with Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) bored to near-death in a hotel room in Saigon. Waiting for a mission.
Saigon…shit. I'm only in Saigon.
Every time, I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle.
I'm here a week now. Waiting for a mission. Getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker. And every minute Charlie squats in the bush…he gets stronger. Each time I looked around…the walls moved in a little tighter.
There's boredom as debilitating ennui as in Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal. But there's also boredom as a motivator, a prompt into adventure. The question is whether in real life the blonde walks through the door or the spy expires on your carpet? Does the ring-a-ding-a-fucking-ding really come?
Joie de Vivre revisited
I'm standing on the terrace of the Château Grimaldi in Vieil Antibes (aka le Musee Picasso). Below is an expanse of azure sea punctuated with dozens of white sails travelling in various incomprehensible lines as they race from whoknowswhere to somewhereelse. I couldn't be happier being back in Antibes/Juan Les Pins. I'm here for the MIP TV market/Digital Emmys, my usual reason for being in this neck of the woods, but as a veteran of such things, I know to stay in Juan rather than Cannes.
Juan-les-Pins has two particular resonances for me – my European grandparents and jazz. The former, a Germano-Polish alliance, used to come here in the 50s and 60s as it was à la mode, the In place. They both enjoyed gambling so I expect the casino was a significant attraction. The latter I suspect was not unrelated to this modishness as it was the golden age of modal jazz and other such modern experimentation. I'm pretty sure I've seen stuff about Miles and Coltrane playing here. This hotel (I'm now on the balcony of my room at Le Grand Pavois as my phone ran out of juice at the end of the first paragraph) has a Sidney Bechet room. Somewhere near the patch of sea I can see through the pines is a commemoration of the international jazz festival they used to hold in town.
A quick bit of Googling shows that Trane played at the festival in 1965 and a live LP was recorded, and Miles played here in July 1969. That probably makes the Trane performance within 6 months of the release of 'A Love Supreme'.
A bit more Googling reveals that Coltrane, Tyner, Garrison & Jones (the recorders/creators of 'A Love Supreme') were the band who played in Juan on 26/27 July 1965 and they played A Love Supreme, Impressions and Naima, which makes it I believe the one and only live performance of 'A Love Supreme', one of my favourite records, the opening track of which I've left a request to have played at my funeral (on the way in).
Back in the land very much of the living, today has been a pretty blessed one. The taxi driver who picked me up in Nice had a PhD in history of art from the Sorbonne and taught there. Cue interesting conversation about Fragonard, Boucher, etc. The hotel room they put me in is a corner room and because of its odd shape is big enough to play football in and has this huge sweeping balcony hugging the curved corner of the building where I'm now sitting in the golden rays of the evening sun in just a clean white towel (refreshing after the London winter).
So I dumped my coat and baggage, changed into shorts and my Save Ferris T-shirt and headed over the hill to Old Antibes. Steak frites for lunch with a glass of rosé. Crêpe citrone and café crême. Reading The Bone Clocks (David Mitchell), my book club choice. Then into the back streets by the marché provençale to the Musée Picasso, like an annual pilgrimage. It's one of my favourite places.
I delighted in revisiting the fabulously Mediterranean 'Joie de Vivre" (1946) which Picasso painted in the building after the war and about which I've written at length. This time the work that really stood out for me was 'Nu Assis sur font vert' (1946) which is a good example of Picasso capturing the human body in geometric, sculptural forms.
From there I passed a happy hour reading, snoozing, listening on the small harbour beach beside the marina. A walk over to Jaume Plensa's Nomade sculpture (2010) on the harbour wall. Pleasant memories of one of my best days at Channel 4, rounding the corner of a wood to see for the first time 'Dream', which Plensa made as part of the 'Big Art Project' series. I met him that day.
On the late afternoon walk home I had one of the best ice-creams I've ever had (rum & raisin and coffee if you want to know).
The feeling that came to me walking over that hill on the way out at noon was that for all the crap going on in the world (and there's no end of it) we need to stay in touch with the joys of living and appreciate them each and every day. That's the only way to live. Otherwise it's a road to madness.
Blitzed Again
I'm a Londoner born&bred. A total Londonphile. I'd have a London passport if I could. And my hobby is being a flaneur with a camera, wandering around the city aimlessly taking photos.
Today I'm taking a staycation and headed off for Paddington. I'm now sat on the bank of the Grand Union Canal a bit beyond Little Venice in the Spring sunshine.
When I went on a similar (un)mission on Saturday it struck me for the first time that London really is in danger. I headed to Borough as a starting point. I really couldn't find any real people to photograph – just sheepish tourists in queues at a market with no proper stalls selling largely non-local food. I remember enjoying eating in the shadow of Southwark Cathedral not that many years ago – I couldn't even find where that was. There were just wall-to-wall visitors chowing down legs crossed, penned in. I couldn't find anything worth eating.
I retreated onto London Bridge and headed over into the weekend City. It was punctuated with cranes. Building sites everywhere. Fox, a shop established in 1868, with its silver Art Deco frontage was empty.
I bussed out to The Angel to the canal. Rammed with French speakers (and I'm happy London is now the 5th or 6th biggest French city) adding, in the lack of variety, to the feel of a city being smoothed over and having the edges knocked off. I managed to get some good shots with the camera I just bought the Enfants Terribles but it was an unusual struggle.
On my way out today I picked up a copy of Time Out. The cover was Save London. So it's obviously not just me feeling this vibe. This is the first time in my life London feels under real threat on a Blitz scale. Property developers who don't care; dirty money playing Monopoly; Euroblandness; buy-to-let neglect; chain everything death by consumerism; a wash of global sameness from the Internet age and Capitalism eating itself.
The city I love is in real peril. Better a Dornier than a Subway.
The Imitation Game – art imitating real life?
A special evening at the Phoenix
Originally posted on Dr Sue Black:
Having spearheaded the most recent campaign to save Bletchley Park and being part of the campaign to get Alan Turing on a banknote I was very apprehensive about seeing the new film "The Imitation Game" starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley. The Imitation Game is based on Andrew Hodges biography of Alan Turing and his codebreaking work at Bletchley Park during WW2.
I spent several years of my life trying to raise public awareness of Bletchley Park and the contribution of the more than ten thousand people who worked there and have learnt a lot along the way. I've had conversations with several people who knew Turing, including his nephew and nieces and have spoken to many Bletchley Park veterans over the years.
I was apprehensive about seeing the film because I really didn't want to see a film like "Enigma" again, a film which I've never actually managed to…

South America Day 8 – Uruguay/Montevideo to Argentina/Buenos Aires: The Full Monte
Passed a poster on the street of the president of Uruguay – he looks like a friendly granddad. Seemingly he lives in a modest house in the country, drives a VW Beetle and has a dog with three legs. After a harsh Mandela-like imprisonment for years, he came to power and leads what I understand is a benign, liberal regime. Certainly the city has a good vibe, a bit slower than Buenos Aires, sunny disposition.
Another thing I saw on the street was 'mate'. People young and old were walking along with a small, rounded glass in one hand holding a silver spoony thing with perforations and in the other a thermos of hot water. Nothing like a nice hot cuppa sitting in a car park with a blanket on your lap. This is the world of trendy students and enamoured young couples and they're all sucking at their infusion of dried leaves of yerba mate.
Talking of leaves, we took ours of Uruguay before noon, back on the boat. Luckily there's still some proper old-school bureaucracy in Argentina/Uruguay so I've managed to amass a decent set of stamps in my new passport. The immigration officer I just encountered had a slightly daunting look with Amy Winehouse type tattoos on her upper chest and knuckles – turned out to be as charming as can be.
As we pulled out of Montevideo we got to see the 'monte' in question, a green hill overlooking the city, now surrounded by favelas. I didn't see much poverty on my visit but that's tourist life for you – I often heard references in MV and BA to areas being safe or not. A bunch of Mexicans were playing a raucous game of cards on the boat back, adding a bit of analogue to the digital life of cameras and phones around them.
Took my leave of Damian back at the Hotel Plaza. Saw a sepia image of it with the Graf Zeppelin flying above this morning. I'll catch up with Damian again in London when he comes over for Power to the Pixel and Mipcom in a couple of weeks. Also said by to Vale, who may be over in London in a while. Great trip, fine travel companions.
For my last half-day in South America for now I headed over to Palermo Hollywood, the chi-chi quarter of cafes and design/clothes shops. Had a late lunch which turned out to be the best meal I ate in Argentina – coated chicken in orange and tequila sauce. Combined with some cool jazz, a bit of birdsong and a great people-watching crossroads at Borges and El Salvador everything aligned for a beautiful meal. Wandered the tree-lined streets after taking a few pics and looking for a couple of gifts for the Mrs and the Enfants Terribles.
Headed back to the Plaza for a quiet evening and a not too late night. Very comfy beds by the way if you're into sleeping equipment.
South America Day 9 – BA-LHR: Adios Amigos
So here I sit at Puerto 9 awaiting the plane home. Nothing much to report – pack, breakfast, taxi, airport. It's a grey day in Buenos Aires so ideal for leaving.
What do I take away with me?
This is a (surprisingly) friendly country. Everyone I met here and in Uruguay was invariably warm and polite. They do this one cheek kiss all the time which beats a handshake. All friendly except a single grumpy taxi driver who can kiss my Irish arse ;-)
There's a terrific enthusiasm for learning and competing, developing and pushing the boundaries in digital media and beyond. Whatever the economic pressures, it seems a well organised country which should have everything it needs to thrive, not least a terrific younger generation.
Bottom line, a fabulous trip sweetened by lovely people.
And then the sun came out…
And then I got three empty seats in a row on the plane…
South America Day 7 – Uruguay, Montevideo: On The Town
Argentina is separated from Uruguay by the River Plate, which from the shore looks like a sea. On the Argentina side it is muddy brown. On the Uruguay side, a bit bluer. It takes around two hours to cross by boat. Valeria, Damian and I boarded from the modern passenger terminal in Buenos Aires, built only two years ago, complete with a wall of falling water.
I spent much of the journey doing my Spanish lessons on Duolinguo. Lo siento, no hablo Espagnol. Funnily enough, I got to use that phrase on Uruguayan television later in the day.
The journey is a flat expanse of calm river, punctuated with the odd vessel but otherwise without features. Eventually the Uruguayan mainland looms into view, and then Montevideo, a largely low-rise city. On disembarking we passed pretty much the whole of the country's navy in port, grey hulks labelled 1 to 24 under huge yellow cranes.
We were picked up by a colleague of Damian's from TV station Estudio 9. She drove us along the coastal road, the Ramblas, a crescent promenade bordering the river-sea. We went first to Channel 10 where Damian did an interview on a daytime show. He was preceeded by Chico Novarro, a famous Argentine romantic singer of boleros, and his leather-trousered son, a well-known actor. The two presenters and crew were really welcoming and friendly, especially the older host who couldn't have been warmer.
Everyone in the crew, cameramen, sound, the works, were on their phones the whole time they were shooting. I watched a voice-over artist at the side of the set do the sponsor presentation live, delivering each bit perfectly and on time then returning to his magazine the second the mike went off.
The set was a comfortable house with living room, kitchen and (fake) garden beyond the French doors. Damian chatted in the kitchen with the younger host (with whom he made the multiplatform show Conectados a couple of years ago) and efficiently got across his activities with Mediamorfosis.
We left the beautiful shade-dappled side street where Channel 10's studio is located for a hotel in the city centre, not far away, it's a bijou city. After dumping our stuff, the three of us walked ten blocks to the old city centred on Independence Square (this is Uruguay independence from Argentina). It is defined by the old theatre Solis, a strange masonic tower and a stone arch – very atmospheric and typically hispanic.
We had a late lunch outdoors (a lovely fresh white sea fish steamed with carrots and onions). Then I dragged them in to a beautiful late 19C book shop with high shelves, a book-lined balcony, a stained glass window half-way up the stairs and a café up above. If I lived in Montevideo, this would be my HQ.
Also at my request we popped into the Torres Garcia museum next door in a tall old townhouse, five or six narrow floors high. Joaquin Torres Garcia is Uruguay's most famous Modernist artist. The early work on display (like Adam & Eve) shows the influence of Cezanne, Picasso and Gauguin. He lived in Paris, Barcelona and New York. Other roots seem to be Klee (searching for a symbolic universal picture language) and native South American Indian art (flat hieroglyphic planes). He was clearly both a restless experimenter and a relentless theorist. Note to self: pick up a book about him on my return.
We then headed off to El Observador newspaper in a quiet, more industrial quarter, beautifully designed offices in black and white, stylish. I had a look around the newsroom, then got roped into an interview despite my Duolinguo Spanish. That's when I got to say "Lo siento, no hablo Espagnol" on air. We talked about the future of TV and media with a similarly stylish young journalist with blue glasses (Dame Edna Everage-style but dialed down and cool).
Off for a siesta listening to Kind of Blue (= perfect siesta length, finishing on flamenco vibe) then over to Estudio 9 where Damian and I were doing a two-hander evangelising transmedia. The venue was a black-curtained studio, subtly lit in the beautifully lit and decorated former dance hall. We had fun doing it, it seemed to go down very well.
From the studio we headed out for a suitably late a l'Espagnol supper in a former market with various folk from the British Council Uruguay office. In the corner of the open-to-the-air market (a bit like Spitalfields market) was an enclosed space with windows housing a tango school. Tonight was tango night so I got a chance to watch some regular couples at work. I liked their ambition. When I eventually got back to my 8th floor room I realised what I was looking down on was the corrugated iron roof of the mercado. So I fell asleep in Montevideo listening to the sounds of tango from below.

It could have been one for the ages - CC Sabathia vs. Cole Hamels in Game 1 of the National League Division Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Philadelphia Phillies.
The way Hamels pitched in the Phillies' 3-1 win over the Brewers at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday, you only can imagine how a matchup against Sabathia, who dominated the NL with an 11-2 record after he was traded from Cleveland to Milwaukee, might have been. They still might be pitching.
But the Phillies got the luck of the rotation, throwing out their ace in a mismatch against Yovani Gallardo. The Brewers had to use theirs just to get to Philadelphia.
Milwaukee will turn to Sabathia on Thursday in Game 2, hoping for a similar mismatch against the Phillies' Brett Myers.
It could have been so different for the Brewers if they hadn't been forced to limp into the playoffs. At one point not long ago, they seemed to have a necessary ingredient for postseason baseball success - two pitching studs in Sabathia and Ben Sheets.
But Sheets, sidelined with a sore elbow, isn't even on the postseason roster.
So can the Brewers do as much against Myers as the Phillies did against Gallardo, who pitched well enough for his team to win, on Wednesday?
Sabathia can step in and at least come close to matching Hamels' brilliant performance. The Phillies left-hander allowed just two hits and struck out nine in eight innings. We know Sabathia can do that.
Can Myers do that if he has to?
When asked about matching up against Sabathia, Myers said: "I'm not facing him. The hitters have to face him. I have to face the Brewers lineup. That's the No. 1 goal for me, to get their hitters out and try to keep the game close so that we can get some runs and hopefully win it."
He did that and more when he faced the Brewers in September, holding them to just two hits and one run in nine innings. For his career, Myers has handled Milwaukee hitters well, with a 1.77 ERA in 35 2/3 innings.
Myers downplayed his record against the Brewers, particularly his last outing.
"It's a totally different atmosphere," he said. "Our fans were out for that game and everything. But this is the playoffs. And it's a little different because guys are going to step up a little bit more than they have in the past.
"We did beat them three games in a row before I started, and they might have been a little down," Myers said. "But now they're in the playoffs, and everybody is going to be up for this."
The Brewers, though, likely will be a little down for Game 2 because losing the opener has such an impact on a five-game division series. In NL five-game series play, the team winning Game 1 has gone on to win the series 23 of 26 times.
