Thai Chicken Pizza Recipe
"I came up with this recipe after trying a similar appetizer pizza at a restaurant," says Cheryl Taylor of Ortonville, Michigan. "It's a great way to use up leftover grilled or baked chicken. And it's a breeze to vary based on everyone's tastes."
- 1 prebaked 12-inch pizza crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounces ready-to-serve roasted chicken breast strips
- 2 to 3 large fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Thai peanut sauce, divided
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup fresh snow peas, halved
- 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
- 1/4 cup julienned carrot
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts
- 1. Place crust on an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan; brush with oil. In a small bowl, combine the chicken, mushrooms and 1/4 cup peanut sauce; spread over crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
- 2. Layer with the red onion, snow peas, red pepper and carrot. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with green onions and peanuts. Drizzle with remaining peanut sauce.
- 3. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 8 slices.

Haven holds nothing back as these final episodes unleash some strange and intriguing "troubles." "Enter Sandman" finds our heroine Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) in a bit of a pickle when Henry (Rossif Sutherland), aka the "Sandman," becomes infatuated with her, trapping her in his dream world. Can Audrey escape before she says, "I do?"

Haven — "New World Order" Recap. Trapped In Haven?
Picking up where "Chosen" left off, "New World Order"" begins with Duke (Eric Balfour) kneeling on the ground with a rain storm of black "aether" balls flooding from his eyes making their way into the unsuspecting citizens of Haven. Meanwhile, Audrey and her main squeeze, who also happens to be Haven PD Detective Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), desperately try to assist Chief of Police Dwight (Adam Copeland) when a mysterious, impenetrable fog begins to surround Haven, causing the hysterical masses to lose control of their emotions and their troubles.

Haven — "Chosen" Review. Mother Knows Best?
"Chosen" wraps up the first half of season five but still leaves many questions unanswered. I have a feeling the next 13 episodes will be Haven's final ones. Writing this makes me sad. Season five of Haven has truly upped the ante and the writers took us on an epic adventure into a world of mystery, suspense, and doubt.

Haven — "Reflections" Recap. Steam. Lots and Lots of Steam!
Things are getting very complex on #Haven and when people literally start falling apart, it takes the "troubles" to a whole new level of weird.
A strange trouble is causing physical manifestations affecting a person's self-esteem – a woman in debt who feels like she can't keep it together begins to literally fall to pieces; a young boy being bullied for being tall, weak, and lanky then becomes a strapping muscle bound jock. But his strength is short lived and he is nearly crushed to death by his dumbbell. If Audrey (Emily Rose) can't figure out who is causing this trouble, someone else might die.

Haven — "Morbidity" Recap. An Outbreak and Dancing Bears, Oh My!
"Morbidity" is a very intriguing episode with something very disturbing lying beneath the surface of the "dancing bear" trouble and illness plaguing Haven. "Morbidity" begins with a haunting dream sequence. Someone is running through the woods, bodies are lying lifeless on the ground, "Croatoan" is carved into a tree, and a "thinnie" is wide open. When Dave (John Dunsworth) wakes up in a panic, infected leg throbbing, he calls an old friend for help. Meanwhile, Dwight (Adam Copeland) tries his best to stall the CDC's Dr. Charlotte Cross (guest star Laura Mennell) from discovering the "troubles."

"Nowhere Man" takes us on a strange yet interesting journey full of unexpected twists and turns. We learn more about the Audrey/Mara (Emily Rose) split from "The Old Switcheroo, Part 1" and how it affects Audrey's ability to help the "troubled." There is also some "pancake" time with Nathan (Lucas Bryant) and Audrey, but it takes a back seat to the intricacy of the mysterious new trouble sweeping through town.

Haven — "The Old Switcheroo, Part 2" Recap. Brother Troubles and Seeing Double.
I am digging this body switching trouble. As we saw in last week's "The Old Switcheroo, Part 1," several people were switched. Duke (Eric Balfour) is now in Nathan's (Lucas Bryant) body. These two switching roles makes this some very entertaining TV. Confusion runs rampant in "The Old Switcheroo, Part 2."

Haven — "Much Ado About Mara" Recap. Isn't Gibberish Fun?
How much fun is "Much Ado About Mara?" The "gibberish trouble" also known as the "Scoville trouble" has Duke (Eric Balfour) talking all kinds of crazy nonsense, and while he thinks he's making sense, his words don't convey what he's feeling or thinking. Aside from the insanely entertaining gibber-jabber, there is a much darker side to this episode. Mara (Emily Rose) adds another notch to her dastardly belt but I have to admit, I kind of like this ballsy persona. I love Audrey (Emily Rose), I do, but something about Mara makes me want to get to know her more. What's her story? I'm sure I'll absolutely loathe her by the end; I actually wanted to smack her after what she says to Dwight (Adam Copeland), but her honesty is refreshing in a town so full of secrets.

Haven — "Spotlight" Recap. Pancakes and Laser Beams.
Before we get into Nathan and Mara's groping scenes (oh yeah), let's talk about the new "trouble" happening in "Spotlight." A Haven resident, Jody (Lucia Walters), is shooting laser beams from her chest. I know I'm not the only one thinking she has laser boobs! Alas, the lasers come from her torso but don't originate in the center of her breasts like those boob-guns from Austin Powers. These laser beams are deadly and cause a lot of anxiety for many.

Haven — "Speak No Evil" Top 5 Moments. Pencils Can Be Deadly.
"Speak No Evil" doesn't lose traction after the shocking end to last week's season premiere, "See No Evil," during which Mara (Emily Rose) shoots Nathan (Lucas Bryant). I knew he wasn't dead…ok, so I was worried a little, but the writers can't kill Nathan. They just can't. As "Speak No Evil" begins, Duke (Eric Balfour) finds Nathan but is oblivious to Nathan's injury because he's so consumed with finding Jennifer (Emma Lahana). But, if you recall in the season four finale, "The Lighthouse," Jennifer stopped breathing inside the cave.
Sep 11 2014
Haven — "See No Evil" Review. Monkey See. Monkey Shoot. Monkey Taser?
Haven is back but this is a much darker Haven than we last saw in the season four finale "The Lighthouse." "See No Evil" is a shocking and enthralling season premiere. Haven ups the ante for this season. Of note, there are several clues from last season that play a major role in what goes down in the season five premiere "See No Evil." And we will definitely see plenty of dastardly deeds happening courtesy of Mara (Emily Rose).

Conf Call: HAVEN Season 5 – Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant Talk About Love Suckers, Pancakes, and Lots of Steam
This was the most fun I've had on a call in a long time. Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant have such great banter during this call especially fielding things like being called "a love sucker" and the hilarious exchange regarding Nathan and Audrey making "pancakes" last season. Apparently there will be more "pancakes" maybe some "waffles" and a whole lot of "steam" happening this season.

Otherworldly Door. Review: Haven — "The Lighthouse"
"The Lighthouse" picks up where "When the Bough Breaks" left off. There's a disturbing glimmer in Audrey's (Emily Rose) eyes as she places her blackened hand upon Duke's (Eric Balfour) chest to re-trouble him. Maybe it's just me, or maybe I'm greedy but I expected more from this season finale—with it being a two-parter, no less. Don't get me wrong, the mind-boggling ending is an absolute doozy. Lives are at stake, and that makes me worried for what could happen in season five (which has yet to be formally confirmed). My four star rating is mainly based on Colin Ferguson's brilliance in his portrayal of William, and for the strange events leading up to the final scenes.

Darkside Seekers. Review: Haven — "Shot in the Dark"
The title of this episode is a bit of a controversy. Syfy's Haven show site titles this episode "Shot in the Dark" while all the clips we've posted and IMDB have titled it "Monster's Ball." For argument's sake, I'm sticking with "Monster's Ball" given the hairy creature that's featured in this week's Haven, it goes without saying. But the heart hungry monster isn't the only thing visiting the not-so sleepy town of Haven, ME. The Darkside Seekers have come and are digging up the dirt everyone is trying to sweep under the proverbial rug.

Some Wishes Come True-ish. Review: Haven — "The Trouble with the Troubles"
"The Trouble with the Troubles" gives us so many shocking revelations, I literally clasped my hand to my mouth when the biggest reveal happened. I'm not even sure I am typing of my own volition because I'm in a state of disbelief. Not denial, just a state of 'What the heck just happened!' Haven continues to be fresh, inventive, and downright surprising.

Datang NXP Semiconductors Opens its Doors for Business in China
First shipments have left the warehouse of China's first automotive semiconductor company
News Source : Datang NXP Semiconductors Opens its Doors for Business in China
Eindhoven, Netherlands and Shanghai, China, April 24, 2014 - NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) and DATANG TELECOM TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD (SSE:600198) today announced that they have been awarded a business license for their joint venture (JV) by the Chinese Government. This marks the establishment of China's first true automotive semiconductor business.
Headquartered in Nantong, China, near Shanghai, Datang NXP Semiconductors Co., Ltd. has begun operations. The company will focus on the research, development and sale of advanced application specific automotive ICs in High Performance Mixed Signal technology. NXP – already the number 1 automotive semiconductors supplier for China – has a 49% share in the JV with Datang Telecom owning the other 51%.
The staff at Datang NXP Semiconductors Co., Ltd., comprised of local engineers and experts, will have a particular focus on developing semiconductor solutions supporting the growing demand for new automotive energy technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles in China. The Chinese government has placed emphasis on its commitment to developing energy saving and new energy vehicles that will support its growing economy.
Datang NXP Semiconductors expects a ten-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 70% in the number of electric vehicles (EV), from less than 20,000 to over 3 million units in the next 10 years. The Chinese government is extending its program to subsidize the purchase of EVs, from 25 to more than 80 cities, and plans to invest heavily in building more charging infrastructure to support EVs, installing over 200,000 charging stations throughout the country.
"This is a very exciting time for NXP in China. With this JV we are in an ideal position to take advantage of the opportunities this diverse market presents. We are confident that the Chinese governments' investment program will be instrumental in driving the private customers' appetite for electric vehicles," said Drue Freeman, senior vice president, global automotive sales & marketing, NXP Semiconductors. "Alongside Datang Telecom we are making a long-term investment in China, and pioneering market-leading automotive solutions. Through these solutions we will be able to drive the industry forward in China and go on to make a positive impact on other markets across the world."
"Bringing together the expertise of the market leader in China, NXP, and the local knowledge of Datang Telecom puts us in an ideal position to lead the Chinese automotive semiconductor market," said Paul Zhang chief executive officer and general manager of Datang NXP Semiconductors Co. Ltd. "What's important for us is that we are able to address the needs of the Chinese market as a local Chinese company, whether it's supporting electrification of modern vehicles or enabling power management; we will continue to innovate and offer solutions that will enable Chinese customers to meet the requirements of this incredibly fast growing automotive market. We have already begun this process, shipping products supporting light leveller systems, which NXP contributed to the JV."

The Surat Thani Province region
Thailand's tropical climate can be very humid and hot. Typically, March, April (especially) and May can be very hot and dry. June through to mid September is normally quite dry and not as hot as April and May. Mid-September sees the start of the South West Monsoon. Heavy rain showers only last about an hour or two daily.
The rest of the day is mostly sunny. Rainy season can last sometimes into the first few weeks of December, but by and large are quite intermittent in this month.
The start of December sees a quite a nice change in the climate for most people. The rain stops and the sun comes out, but it's generally not too hot and this lasts until the end of February. Subsequently this is peak season, and also regarded as the best time to come to Koh Samui, Thailand.
Duplex M is 5 min away from Fisherman's Village in Bo Phut. It is very popular place for the tourists to congregate in Koh Samui. This is probably due to its incredible choice of great restaurants and bars. With a distinctly Mediterranean feel it, this town also boasts some nice resorts and a few of the islands top hotels can also be found here.
…and then there's Cheong Mon! Probably home to the best beach on the island, with beautiful white sand and arguably the best hotels, to date, the island has to offer.
Choeng Mon
Big Buddha is probably the most famous of the attractions here on Koh Samui. It stands at over 15 metres tall and was built back in 1972 so as to allow all visitors to pay their respects to Lord Buddha.
Santiburi Championship Golf Course:
A stunningly beautiful 18 hole golf course, dubbed by some as the most beautiful in the world, set in the hills of Maenam with sea views over the mountains and into Koh Phangan.
Scuba Diving:
There are a number of scuba diving schools around Samui which is a popular dive training centre for SE Asia. Along with Kao Tao, Samui offers a range of diving opportunities for all levels. A number of reefs are found off Samui's shores. Two of the most popular sites for advanced divers are Sail Rock and Angthong National Marine Park. For more information visit Koh Samui Diving.
Scuba diving in Samui Island with Dive The World:
Koh Samui diving in Thailand including day trips, and liveaboards from Phuket to the Similan Islands, Phi Phi Islands, Krabi, Khao Lak and Burma.
Chaweng is situated on the east coast of Koh Samui and is a popular and trendy destination with young travelers and families alike. The resort is well known for its beautiful white powdery sand beaches and turquoise waters. It's probably not the most ideal location for those looking for a peaceful getaway in Koh Samui; it's more suited to those who want to be near the hub of Samui.
Being a tourist favourite, Chaweng is home to a plethora of fashionable restaurants, bars and nightclubs, and the closer you get to the centre the more frequent they become. Also, it is relatively easy for those staying in Chaweng to go on the various tours of Koh Samui, pay a visit to the surrounding islands, do a spot of diving or take advantage of some of the other water sports available to them.

"Estancia agradable con aspectos a mejorar"
El duplex está en un complejo residencial de varios apartamentos, por lo que la piscina no es privada, sino que se comparte con otros alojamientos. Esto es un aspecto que conviene tener en cuenta antes de reservar. El acceso es complicado porque tiene una rampa muy empinada y es algo peligrosa la subida hasta el garage. La propiedad está decorada con gusto y es agradable para disfrutar de unas vacaciones de descanso. Sin embargo, el jacuzzi de la habitación no funcionaba. Creo que este aspecto deberían habernoslo comunicado al hacer la reserva. Pagamos por un servicio que no pudimos disfrutar y, evidentemente, no es justo. El grifo del baño estaba roto. El manager nos aseguró que lo arreglaban al día siguiente de nuestra llegada y no fue así. Estuvimos una semana y no vino nadie a arreglarlo. Nos pareció muy poca seriedad. Por otra parte, el último día nos vinieron a recoger para llevar al aeropuerto sólo con una hora de antelación al horario de salida de nuestro vuelo. Esto hizo que casi perdiéramos el vuelo, con todos los nervios que eso conlleva. Fue horrible. Esperábamos una pequeña recompensa por todos estos inconvenientes pero no ha sido así. Una lástima.

Rated 4.9 out of 5�by 23 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by John Exceeded my expectations I have worked in construction my whole life but recently took a job as a maintenance man. Before I always carried a full tool bag and never needed a multi tool. In my new job, there are hundreds of little projects that I get into and I never know what tool I need until I go take a look at the job. I wasted a lot of my time walking back and forth to get the correct tools and I was averaging 9 miles of walking a day. Since I've bought this tool, I've used it every day. Some days it's the only tool I've needed. It's so nice to have when I'm out walking a hall and someone stops me to fix a small problem. It's cut 2 miles out of my walking distance a day and saved me a lot of time that I can now put toward other projects. The tool is well made and everything is easy to get to. I wish I would have bought this a year ago. I've encouraged everyone I work with to buy one. If you're looking for a quality product, you won't be disappointed and it's worth the money. October 18, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Surprizedlongime Lower Quality than 8 years ago. The construction of the pliers portion of the tool is now cast instead of being forged. This may or may not have an effect on the longevity of this portion. The opening up of the pliers requires significant force. I have not used the tool very much because it is new. ( I lost my old Wave tool!) The blade is sharp right out of the box. The multiple bits add to the flexibility of the tool. I have only used the Phillips #2 bit. It works well! Ask me again in 2 years for me to give a fair analysis of the tool September 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by flstate This product has great features. Great product! I work at a state park and its a quick and handy tool to fix a variety of things. August 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by James66 Excellent Tool with Extras The Letterman Wave has stud the test of time as a go to multi tool. This Combo dose nothing to spool that reputation With the addition of the Multi Bit Kit and added LED flashlight For the same cost of a standalone Wave only frosting on the cake Leatherman still needs to work on it?s sheaths as I expect I?ll be replacing this one with in next year June 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by MikeK270 complete set/ great value Great edc with the added benefit of the additional bit inserts and flashlight. The Wave is an industry standard and you will know why once you have it. The bits have come in extremely handy and both bit holders can fit in the nylon pouch at once. I was pleasantly surprised at the durability and function for size with the P3 flashlight. It has replaced my Lux-Pro 320 except when heavy light is needed. I would honestly buy the p3 or larger P4 along with another Wave if necessary. (Wish there was a package deal for the ALX) For the money and value this can't be beat. May 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by marm one of the best multi tools on the market Everyday,every minute carry. It is able to fix adjust anything from fishing reels to the small screws on your glasses. Very impressed. February 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by DoubleC69 Excellent tool for the money. Great tool for the money. Arrived as advertised and on time. Fast service, which is important since this tool is used daily. February 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Drock Great Value All pieces fit nicely in the sheeth. A bit heavy but that is to be expected when you are getting so much out of it. Many useful tools at a great price. February 15, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by TAult Well Made Tools I have owned many multitools: Letherman, Gerber, SOG, and Victronox (Swiss Army). Of these, the Leatherman is my favorite, it is very well made, and has multiple tools for just about every application. This particular product: "Leatherman Wave Bit Kit & Light Combo", is a very good deal, the bit set alone will cost you $20 something. and along with the flashlight (which is also very well made), nylon sheath, and the tool , it would cost you over $100.00 if purchased separately The only draw back, and the reason for 4 and not 5 stars, is that the sheath will not easily accommodate the flashlight in the kit. I have owned Leathermans since the original models were sold in the 80's, and I still have the original and it still functions flawlessly. January 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dhbranum Great deal Great price, better than most places plus this one has the bit set and the flashlight. October 22, 2014

Safest Sacramento Neighborhoods
With a crime rate of 48 per one thousand residents, Sacramento has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 21. Within California, more than 92% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Sacramento.
How does the crime rate in Sacramento compare to similar sized communities across America? When NeighborhoodScout compared Sacramento with other communities its size, we found that the crime rate was near the average for all other communities of similar size. So, whether Sacramento's crime rate is high or low compared to all places in the US, when we control for population size and compare it to places that are similar in size, it is near the middle of the pack in crime rate; not much more or less dangerous, and about what we would expect from the statistics.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Sacramento does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Sacramento.
For Sacramento, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Sacramento is one in 150.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Sacramento's rate for property crime is 41 per one thousand population. This makes Sacramento a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Sacramento is one in 24.
Importantly, we found that Sacramento has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle theft in the nation according to our analysis of FBI crime data. This is compared to communities of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest. In fact, your chance of getting your car stolen if you live in Sacramento is one in 123.

In a disturbing interview on AC360, during which Zimmerman juror B37 referred to killer George Zimmerman, 29, as "George," admitted to writing a book with her lawyer husband — a deal that has disappeared due to the social activism of Twitter user @MoreandAgain — and basically said that she believed "George's" version of events.
Zimmerman Jurors Release Statement: B37 Doesn't Speak For Us
Though 4 other Zimmerman jurors issued a statement distanced themselves from the insensitive and problematic statements made during the interview, Florida's WFTV has discovered that jurors spent hours of alone time with family that could have impacted the verdict.
Channel 9′s Kathi Belich confirmed the jurors were left unsupervised with guests at times, which WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said is more than enough time for a member to have said something that could have influenced a juror and possibly impacted the verdict.
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said Judge Debra Nelson allowed jurors generally no more than two hours of alone time with visitors once a week.
Nelson didn't decide until three days into the trial to sequester the jury after potential jurors voiced concerns about their privacy and safety.
Channel 9 obtained the agreement the judge had all of the jurors' visitors sign in which they agreed "the case or anything even remotely related to the case must not be talked about."
Sheaffer said allowing sequestered jurors to have unsupervised visits invites criticism and questions over the integrity of the verdict.
"It only takes two seconds for an inappropriate comment to be made to a juror by a family member inadvertently or otherwise to possibly affect the verdict, how they look at the case," Sheaffer said.

text: We all have one thing in common. And no, it\u0027s not love—it\u0027s mascara. It\u0027s the one thing most of us can\u0027t leave the house without applying, no matter how quickly we have to be out the door, or how little makeup we\u0027re wearing elsewhere. That\u0027s probably why mascara is the most challenging of beauty topics to discuss—we\u0027re so opinionated about which we like, which we hate, and how we use it. Naturally, that\u0027s why three of our go-to makeup artists were so eager to take it on once and for all.\u000A\u000A Thanks to the help of red carpet experts Mai Quynh and Beau Nelson, and editorial pro Benjamin Puckey, this slideshow is giving you all the secrets, tricks, and absolute must-knows about mascara.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Tabitha was a life saver when it came to planning, managing, and just keeping the wedding day on schedule. We hired Tabitha for 'Month of' services. She handled all the vendor contracts, schedules, communications, and everything else between. She is incredibly organized, very honest and true pleasure to work with. From the moment we sat down, she simply let us vent and dump any and all wedding stress related activities on her and she handled everything with such professionalism. This was our third time working with her (my fiance, now wife) had worked with her in two other weddings when she was a maid of honor and we knew we had to hire her. We had an event coordinator that came with the venue but we knew we needed Tabitha to handle all vendor related questions/communications, PLUS, she handled our family and friends so we could fully relax and enjoy the day. It was such an incredible event and we know Tabitha helped make it run so smooth!
Tabitha and her assistant Alexandra were INCREDIBLE!! I know for a fact our day would not of been nearly as amazing as it was without them. Tabitha consistently went above and beyond for us while we planned even though we hired her for day of planning. We had a couple of vendor issues (dishonest vendor) and she helped us through the process of ending our agreement with that vendor and finding an even better person to be part of our day. She made the month leading up to the big day a breeze and when things didn't go quiet as planned - she stepped in and made things great. I really can't imagine not having Tabitha with us…. she is knowledgable, even keeled (super important!) funny, resourceful and full of ideas. I can't recommend Tabitha enough - no matter the wedding day task (details, family dynamics, a broken zipper!) she is the one you want in your corner.
Words can't justify how happy and grateful we are to have had Tabitha and staff be part of our wedding day. She was amazing. She kept everything running smoothly and honestly we had no idea if anything happen the day or, which we know did. Tabitha is wonderful to work with an incredibly responsive. She advised but didn't overstep her boundaries on the crazy ideas we may have had. I know our day wouldn't have been this smooth if we didn't have Tabitha and her team there to help us.
If you don't have a day of coordinator, you have to meet Tabitha!
I had a hard time deciding whether to hire a wedding planner for my wedding. I knew that I could do all of the planning myself and my venue had a wedding planner that I could use; however, I was concerned that the hotel wedding planner would not take care of everything that I would need. So, I decided to hire someone for day of planning. I spoke with a few planners and then Tabitha was recommended to me by a friend who was getting married about a month after me. She was AWESOME!!! I cannot thank her enough for everything that she did. I recommend her to every person that I know who is getting married. I had so many things to stress about so it was great to have someone there that day to take care of everything including making sure my vendors were on time, knew where to go, finding wedding party people who had wandered off, etc. There was a chance that it was going to rain and Tabitha was able to convince the hotel wedding planner to extend the rain call - So we ended up having the ceremony outdoors which I was convinced wouldn't happen. I cannot say enough great things about Tabitha and her team - worth every penny!
We signed up for Tabitha's services with the Ultimate Planning package. This meant that Tabitha was fully involved and in charge of all aspects of our wedding planning. Without a doubt, this was the most critical and best decision we made.
My husband and I both live out of the country but wanted a wedding near my hometown. I made one trip back to the States during the entire 9 months we had to plan the wedding. Tabitha arranged venue visits with my family, did independent meetings/research and presented us with options, and scheduled like crazy to get everything possible in the one week I was able to be physically present. Even though we were literally an entire ocean away, we never felt stressed or worried about any aspect of the planning process.
Tabitha designed and styled our entire wedding based on a few basic ideas from us and my extremely limited Pinterest page. Her ideas were amazing and she made sure to find the best vendors in order to bring our shared vision to life. The wedding itself was literally everything we could have imagined, and all of our guests had the most fantastic time.
On the day of, Tabitha and the team she brought made it so that everyone involved (my husband and me, our families, our friends) could relax and truly enjoy the day itself. I had the usual wedding jitters, but I had zero concern about what was happening behind the scenes because Tabitha literally took care of everything. I just showed up!
Honestly, I would recommend a full service wedding planner to everyone that can manage to fit it into their budget. And, clearly, I would recommend hiring Tabitha in particular. She has amazing design ideas, is responsible and professional, makes you feel like you have a friend in this crazy process, connects you to the best vendors for your personality and budget, and will ensure that the day itself goes off flawlessly.
One of the greatest decisions we made was hiring a "day of" coordinator, and Tabitha Roberts specifically. We were impressed with Tabitha from the moment we met her -- she is a perfect combination of professional and fun. She is very straight up, and she gave excellent advice and recommendations. If you hire her as a "day of" coordinator, what you're really hiring is a "month of" coordinator and more. Well before our wedding, she was happy to give us advice and recommendations on vendors. She also helped to keep us on track in terms of hiring vendors. In the weeks before, Tabitha took over everything. She became the point of contact for our vendors, coordinated all the details with them, and came up with a timeline for the day.
On the day of our wedding, Tabitha was wonderful. She and her staff assisted with everything they possibly could have. They kept a tight schedule in line, coordinated delivery/pick-ups with all of our vendors, and made sure we had nothing to worry about. The transition between our ceremony and reception went smoothly, despite a very heavy downpour. Tabitha was also great about personally checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. We received so many compliments from guests about how our wedding day went perfectly or "without a hitch." In all honesty, we have no idea if there were any real issues that day--if any problems arose, neither us or our guests knew it, and that's the way it should be. We also think it's important to note that all of our vendors gave us very positive feedback about working with Tabitha.
Tabitha Roberts and her crew made our day such a pleasure for us and allowed us to really enjoy our wedding. If there is one thing we could recommend to other couples getting married, it would be to hire a "day of" coordinator, and Tabitha specifically--she is a true gem.
If you want your wedding day to be stress-free with no detail left to chance, hire Tabitha and her team! Hands down, our partial-planning package was the best investment we made for our big day.
Tabitha makes you feel at ease and I loved her enthusiasm for my ideas. Tabitha saved me countless hours of research and recommended the best vendors over the course of the year we worked together. She pulled together all of my ideas for decor to create a succinct vision and went above and beyond on many of the craft/DIY projects.
On the day of, I had nothing to worry about because I knew Tabitha had everything under control! My parents loved that they could just enjoy the day and entertain our out of town family and friends. Our wedding was absolute perfection in every way thanks to Tabitha! So many guests said it was the most beautifully styled wedding they had been to and they loved how all the transitions - ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner etc - were perfectly timed and smooth.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Tabitha and her team, do yourself a favor and hire the best!
Tabitha was THE single best investment/hire we made for our wedding (both my parents and my in-laws agree)! She answered many emails for six months leading up to the wedding, offering recommendations and advice. The month of the wedding she was incredible - creating our timeline and confirming vendors. She corralled some of our more "active" wedding party members and kept the trains running on time (we were on schedule all day). I literally could not have had such a perfect and stress free day without her.
I know it is hard to imagine spending more money on a day-of coordinator, when a friend or family member could handle it for you. Hire one anyways. It was so great to have someone "in charge" that our family and friends automatically respected (and listened to) to remind us to "go here", "stand here", etc., not to mention all the little errands (picking up our wedding cake) and details (having my flat shoes ready for me on my chair) that were handled seamlessly. It is so worth it and an investment necessary to guarantee your own enjoyment at your wedding.
The Ten Best Things About Tabitha:
1. VALUE: I wish I could give Tabitha six stars for value. Tabitha understood that we were on a budget and quoted us accordingly, but never compromised her work.
2. PERSONALITY: Tabitha made my groom and I feel so taken care of. Her enthusiasm was unyielding and her sweet personality contagious.
3. AUTHORITY: Tabitha was always professional, but also unafraid to stand up to our micromanaging families and some under-performing vendors on our behalf.
4. RESPONSIVENESS: Despite the fact that we hired Tabitha as a DOC, she returned my phone calls and emails in a timely fashion for the entire year before our wedding.
5. CONNECTIONS: Trust Tabitha and her vendor lists! When we did, we were thrilled with our vendors and when we didn't, we regretted it. Plus, she more than makes up for her fee with discounts.
6. DETAIL-ORIENTED: If you like Style Me Pretty and other wedding detail-oriented blogs, you'll love Tabitha's work. She handwrote all of our wedding signage in beautiful calligraphy!
7. DESIGN & VISION: Tabitha will take your vision and raise it several notches, while still making your day feel like YOU. Her floral design experience made a huge difference at our wedding: she suggested details (like my fresh flower headpiece) that I never would have thought of and ended up being my favorite parts of our wedding.
8. FOLLOW-THROUGH: Even after our wedding, Tabitha followed through with the vendors so that we didn't have to worry about it on our honeymoon.
9. CRISIS MANAGEMENT: When I was in a panic after our first photog. disappeared (we had paid her in full), Tabitha reached out to our original, first-choice photog., negotiated a contract, and even helped us get our money back from the first one.
10. FLEXIBILITY: Tabitha is a calming force in the face of last-minute changes. When rain turned our reception area into a muddy mess, she rearranged the entire tent without batting an eye.
Hire her! (I am out of space). :D
Do yourself a favor and hire Tabitha Roberts with Roberts and Co. Events. My husband and I can't thank Tabitha (and her assistant, Kristen) enough for everything they did on our wedding day. From our first meeting, we knew that Tabitha was the right choice for our month of coordinator. She was no-nonsense, funny, had great taste, and seemed to get us and what we wanted for our wedding day. We had many different vendors to coordinate and Tabitha took care of organizing and confirming everything that week and the day of. She even folded our programs and met us early in the week to collect a car full of decorations to set up at the reception. The day of, she kept everything running smoothly and on schedule, and handled every ounce of pressure with ease. She bustled my dress at the reception, fixed my hair, brought us our specialty cocktails to make sure we got the chance to taste them, made a cake appear out of nowhere, and packed everything up at the end of the night so it got home safely. There were some issues that happened behind the scenes (our cake never showed up and we had a lot of problems with our transportation company), but the guests never even knew. In fact, they commented on how smoothly everything went. Tabitha handled everything, so that my husband and I and our parents could fully enjoy the night stress-free. Come cake-cutting time, there was even a cake there decorated with flowers from our florist, that we could cut into and feed each other. I can't imagine how everything would have come together without Tabitha. Even after the wedding, Tabitha was on top of things, contacting our problem vendors and guiding us through the process to get our money back. A wedding coordinator is worth every penny, but Tabitha is worth so much more. We had such an amazing night and everyone had so much fun-thank you Tabitha!
I'm sooo glad that I hired Tabitha as our day-of and decor planner for our Indian//dutch//DC wedding! Not only was our event full of unusual wedding day events, but our venue had never done a wedding before. Tabitha and her assistant helped make sure the events went along smoothly.
They have great taste in decor, so I knew that I could just give them my "stuff" and they would make the place look great! I was blown away while walking down the aisle, and it seemed like my guests were blows away also!
With them on the scene, I was able to COMPLETELY enjoy my wedding day, which is all that I wanted.
Tabitha was awesome! Once we agreed to work with her, she got down to the nitty-gritty and "felt us out" as clients, figuring out what our style was and what we wanted to incorporate in our wedding. All of our vendors, including Tabitha, would describe us as the most "non-wedding" couple, meaning we didn't know what we wanted but knew we wanted something that would reflect us as a couple not what was "in style" at the moment.
All of Tabitha's referrals for vendors were spot on. When my then fiance and I met with Tabitha, she explored where we wanted to spend the majority of our budget. For other couples the focus was the dress, or the flowers or the pictures. We wanted good food, my husband and I are definite "foodies". With that, she referred us to a great venue and a great baker. Tabitha was really conscious of the budget throughout the process and we honestly spent more than we intended, but it was by choice.
The decor was the part I was dreading the most just because we really had no idea what we wanted. Tabitha figured out how to weed through our tastes and create a cohesive wedding. She and I would email back and forth probably 1-3x/week for major things and 1x/mo early in the planning stages. She would always respond with recommendations and was very calming when things started to get nerve-wrecking.
Tabitha is a complete sweetheart, very straightforward without being mean or condescending. We never felt that Tabitha "took over" our wedding, she was always there to make sure that we got what we wanted. Also, the day of, she packed up decor items for us and put them in our room. She helped bustle my dress for dancing. She brought me cocktails when I was running out. She placed wedding favors on our pillows of our honeymoon suite. All these extra touches really were not expected and made the whole event even more special.
Honestly, hiring Tabitha was the best decision we made.
Hiring Tabitha for month-of coordination was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our venue was not very responsive and was difficult to deal with, but Tabitha handled everything and we didn't notice any issues at all. We were able to have a great time at our wedding and she even made sure we ate dinner! We would definitely recommend Tabitha.
Tabitha did the work of 10 people on our wedding day! Whether you are a bride with zero idea how you want your big day to go or a bride with every detailed planned since you were five, Tabitha is the right planner for you. I thought I had every detail planned, but she saved me from missing very important details by asking the right questions at the right time. Tabitha will not let anything fall through the cracks, and she will be on top of your vendors! By the end of our wedding night, I was drunkenly asking Tabitha to be my friend… I think every bride should experience this level of appreciativeness with their planner. I also think she should put her picture on her website because her hip, creativeness definitely shows on her face! Thank you, Tabitha!
Tabitha was amazing and I don't even know where to start in describing everything she did. We hired her for day-of coordination (which is actually more like month-of) and she took care of every little detail on our wedding day. We had a ton of decor items and she even put together florals for 20 TABLES FOR US, which was a huge amount of work. It saved us a ton of money to have her help us and our wedding wouldn't have happened without her. There were a lot of last minute issues in the few days before the wedding and she helped solve everything. If there were problems the day of I didn't know about it! She even put the kibosh on a number of 'surprises' people were planning that I would have HATED. Tabitha was no-nonsense, got everything done without forgetting a single detail, and kept all the guests and family under control. We could not have done it without her and I can't recommend her enough!
Worth her weight in gold. I knew I wanted a DOC because I didn't want to worry the day of my wedding and let me say after interviewing a handful of people, there was no doubt Tabitha was the one. She was a delight to meet with and I knew right away she was the one I wanted. She came to my house to go over the details and collect my carful of DIY stuff. The day of, seriously I couldn't imagine how all my little personal details I wanted would of come together without her. Things just happened and looked exactly the way I wanted them to. She made everything run smoothly and on time. I think I confessed to her at the end of the night how much I loved her and other embarrassing professions of love after one too many jack and diets. Seriously if you go with Tabitha you won't regret it!

Bowing Man (80 minutes out)
Sitting Man
Bowing Man (80 minutes out)
Sitting Man
Bowing Man-- 100 minutes out-- basically spent 20 minutes tweaking the foot. Probably piddle around for another 20 to 40 and call it done. . .
Couple more so-so Peck digital things.
So you like to check out the more verbose posters in the Lounge?
For someone who wants to cartoon, it's only in the last few pages are you finally beginning to get your life sketches down to the barest minimum. That's good. The structure of your faces does leave something to work on. Your raccoon character is coming on, but still could be simplified more. If you don't like gimp try PhotoPlus for free, very easy to use - you can always upgrade later - it's a lot cheaper than PhotoShop.
Oh, And I did look at every page of your SB.
Currently doing the Level Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
Hey there Black Spot!
Yeah, bloviating in the Lounge is one of my guilty pleasures, along with lurking the SBs of those who do likewise. But, my main motivation for lurking General Forums is to pick up the golden nuggets of wisdom the handful of pros post over there. (I Need to lurk more, post less).
And, you are "Spot" on on your crits. (Thank you, thank you!)
Cartooning is really tough-- somewhere between flat hieroglyphics and totally ripping off Disney lies a "sweet spot" that I'll eventually nail down. Part of the reason for doing slower photo ref studies is the structural stuff you've noted in faces-- my cafe victims are always in motion, and real life sessions often involved extended views of angles that don't allow me to study the head and face either as close or as long as I'd like to and need to. Thanks for the PhotoPlus cite-- probably wouldn't have known about it otherwise!
Anyway. . .
fineart.sk leg study (11 minutes out)
more Peck Digital practice
Xeon probably thinks I'm diligently working on my vehicle.
Oh, Hell no! I found a dead squirrel.
Dead Squirrel Array
Screen Of Brush
From yesterday prior to squirrel recovery (which involved a really bummed out crow. . .)
Really, it would probably make more sense in color. (And, I am now roughing out the Penvirate vehicle assignment-- gonna make it good. . .)
Aww . . . poor squirrel. No eyeballs. I wonder how long it's been dead for.
Really appreciate the longer studies. I think you're really getting down the basic planes of the figure's shape. And with the extra time you're putting in, you're starting to address other problems that you needed to resolve, like that foot you've been working on. I think there's some proportions that are off here and there, such as the back calf of the "armed" guy and the head is a little big. Other than that, I think you're getting a solid understanding of the figure.
Keep up the hard work and the book learning.

The Penvirate Sketchbook!
Diarum ::Kamber Parrk
orochigenocide: pretty good eye--initially, I rescaled the guy's body during the rough stage to harmonize it better with the head, calf probably just needs some more anatomical tweaking than I'm going to do this time around.
Ms. Squirrel was in pretty good condition 'cept for the crows getting to her eyeballs and genitals. I really couldn't figure out what killed her. My guess would be "blunt trauma, automotive." Perhaps a glancing blow that dealt out head trauma with no disfiguring breaks. But, I'm not sure. (I have seen them actually fall out of trees and hit the ground pretty hard, you never know. . .)
Xeon: Back in Pennsylvania, I grew up shooting and stir-frying these little guys. So, their relatively fresh corpses don't weird me out too much! I did sever her head and place it in a plastic cup full of bleach out on the back patio. I figure the bleach will keep the coyotes and coons from eating it. And, hopefully, it'll help break down the skin and brains so I can get a usable skull specimen.
Yeah, yeah. . . I know. . . the Penvirate vehicle. Below is just a perspective rough (I have a page or two of other roughs, not posted). I've come up with a giant tricycle thing-- but I want to post a bigger, clean and more developed drawing for the assignment. It's a worth while endeavor, and I want to get as much benefit from it as possible. Plus, I just can't let myself post something inferior to Xeon!
[Note To Self: This was a week where I worked something like a full work week in 3 days-- my usual careful time management-- totally up-ended. But, I'm facing a possible job upgrade in the shadowy real-world that I never talk about. . .]
Lately, I'm behind on everything, 'cept I'm catching up on sleep, finally!
This is the next most recent iteration of the Penvirate Vehicle that I still don't see as fit to post. I freehanded this based on the previous perspective thumb and am trying to make it more solid. Then, the next couple iterations will make it more detailed. Then! I'll catch up all the other stuff: Daily, yurmby wheel, coon model sheet, and figuring out how to dissolve the brains out of a decapitated squirrel head. . .
hurry up and finish the vehicle, even I finished

I'm determined to make the final post in the Penvirate Thread as, at least, quasi-pro as possible. [No more half-assery like that Chicago skyline that I gotta look at over there. . .]
Anyway, solving the problem of making the wheels look solid--
Wheel Study
Next iteration: I figured out, between theory and eyeballing ref, how to make the wheels look more solid. But, the construction is getting really overworked and I'm really beating the hell outta the paper. (Front wheel's a bit off. Part of that is from cutting grooves in the paper that make fixing a bit difficult). Really need a light box-- don't have one-- so need to do some transfer to a fresh surface to finish all the construction and work out the detail.
Yeah, I know. Diarum and Xeon mock my tardiness and inefficiency. . .
Plenty of curves and ellipses which are a PITA.
I've since given up on trying to draw ellipses with 100% accuracy; as long as it looks right as part of the whole, it's more or less ok.
Now, we're awaiting your final finished product!
And Diarum, if you're reading this....where's yours? Maybe you need to have Kamber's dead squirrel stuffed into ye' mouth to spur you on! LOL

General Note: started a new job that emerged from an old job that went into some crazy hours before the transition-- thus, took an inadvertent "vacation" from my usual posting. Now-- back to it.
Couple digital Peck things to restart:
Awwwwwww poor squirrel
I hope you washed your hands
The sculpture on the last page was looking good! Also nice shading work in your anatomy studies!
Insanity is the key!
Also, studies are a key. And passion is a key. Also, so are inspiration, motivation and dedication. Talent can be a key. Insomnia can also be a key, depression is a sad rusty little key. Damn, artists need one hell of a keyring.

kamber great work on the tricycle, but don't beat yourself up too much over smooth curves and such. I feel like i can tell from your linework when you are drawing relaxed and when you are not. your figure studies remind me of those drawings where you don't lift your pencil from the paper, IMHO that is you at your best. i would like to see the tricycle approached in this fashion. "Kamberized" as it were, lol. anywho, keep up the good work!
Hey PermaN00b!
Yeah, it's a slightly different sort of drawing-- trying to keep something in perspective boxes-- was really over-working the crap out of it.
Anyway. . . .

Flashback-- thanks for the kind word and the drop in! (I've always kinda hoped that people would find this book a bit more fun than the others. . .)
Anyway. . . .
I'm pretty far behind on the Daily, with work and all, so I figured that I'd dump in the images from a whole 3 hour life session and a few pages of post life problem solving to play (a bit of) catch up.
3 Hour Life Study: 15 2 min. gestures/5 20 min. studies. Yeah, my proportions ARE bad-- sped through all of these to try to work on rendering some form and structure.
4 pages of rough form and value studies-- trying work on plans for quickness in laying in form, being more decisive in laying in values-- ref = various fineart.sk images.
Extended Journal-like Comment:
(I'm getting back to this SB after my day job enlarged to a couple of back-to-back 80 hour weeks. I'm assured that this is not normal. And, I should now be on a more sane schedule.)
I've probably lost too much time to finish up 365 images for this year. But, ya never know. . . I'll still consider 100 images a "Book" and 365 images a "Volume" and just keep drawing, regardless.
My goal, now, is to make the jump from persistent hobbyist to legitimate amateur artist. (By "amateur" I mean professional grade work worthy of financial compensation, though without the compensation-- sort of like an Olympic athlete.)
My focus is on two areas: Becoming an independent cartoonist and/or a fine arts watercolor painter with a focus on nature and animals. Admittedly, making a serious living in either of these areas is a statistical long shot. But, I'll see if I can make it to being a real amateur then worry about the rest when the time comes.
To the above ends, I've identified directions I must take with my time from here on:
1. Focusing on producing actual comic strips.
2. Focusing on producing actual paintings.
3. Mastering Life Drawing to the extent that I am able.
4. Learning Digital Painting.
Thus, the bulk of my "studies" and "sketches," from hereon, will be roughs and developmental work for 1 and 2 above. (The Daily in my SB, here, will turn into a sampling of these or a 20 minute random sketch on days I'm doing more abstract or book learning tasks).
I'm trying to hit a least 1 local Life Drawing session per week. But, in achieving #3 above I feel that I can't go it alone. So, eventually, this is going to involve hopping on a plane down to So Cal and attending some workshops of the "Modified Reilly" sort.
Same deal with some watercolor workshops-- I neither need nor want to spend 2 to 4 years in "art school," but I don't think I can bring my skills to a fine edge without some live correction/instruction from people who know what they're doing.
As to digital, I'm in no real hurry. I gather that most community college type classes are very elemental. But, signing up for a class would qualify me for student discounts on the better software. Per Art Discussion discussions, getting better at trad art will lay the foundation for good digital practice. And, I'm guessing that most good digital instruction out there is probably through downloads and DVDs.
ANYWAY-- all that is just to focus my mind on the direction I'm headed. . .

"Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning." -Bruce Lee
Diarum: yeah, go draw! Oddly, sorta puts my long-winded manifesto into a certain perspective. . .
Below is from today's life drawing (sans gestures). Graphite in the old 8.5 X 11 Canson book. Trying to be intuitive on measuring (fails a bit). Trying to see and draw volumes as opposed to outlines. Pretty scant on modeling-- but, I'll get there as I get tighter on the volumetric thing.
Probably do future life on newsprint or laid paper with charcoal pencil or vine, respectfully. Charcoal pencil on newsprint is much more "responsive" than graphite on lightly toothed paper. Plus, you can "punch out" much better darks. Otherwise, vine is probably the best tool for studying and knocking out values most efficiently.
Ha ha I had to laugh at your 'mission' post and Diarum comment. Great goals though and it's good to have you back. I shall continue to enjoy watching your progress.
Great to see you listing so many clear objectives, at least now you've much more defined goals and that should aid in further improving your skills!
As for digital painting, our teacher recommended us to get this James Gurney book: http://www.amazon.com/Color-Light-Gu...9847896&sr=8-1
I've just bought one and its on the way here.
May you become a great cartoonist + realist nature painter one day!

Diarum ::Kamber Parrk
Marian: Diarum has a knack for putting me in my place about the time I really need it! (Gotta catch up with your SB and those of several other who have commented earlier).
Xeon: Good to be back! My goals are pretty basic-- "start making real stuff" about sums it up. Though, some instruction I think is sorely needed to avoid "re-inventing the wheel" in many areas.
Got the Gurney book! Will probably buy the other one soon-- Imaginative Realism.
Re future: the really weird thing would be if I someday ended up producing professionally relevant sculpture as an off-shoot to my maquette making.
Anyway. . .
Downtime allowed me to attend a life session that I usually can't make during normal business hours-- more graphite in the 8.5 X 11 Canson book-- always a great size for scanning. . .
Anyway, in keeping with the manifesto and trying to get the Daily to be a Daily again:
a page of coon roughs from a National Geographic book on coons I bought from Goodwill for ref.
This is a couple pages of re-working the coon characters and a rough of their human companion. My project goal, for now, is working up a professional grade "model sheet" for 3 distinct coons and a human I call "Vicky," who may be suffering from severe mental illness or may actually be living with three talking raccoons.
[Yep! This SB is going to get pretty bad before it gets better. . .]
[Probably, get around to resurrecting my "Yurmby Wheel" after Life Drawing tomorrow.]

War has broken out again. For the second time in two weeks, two Tulsa convenience stores are battling over who has the cheapest local gasoline price, Tulsa World reports.
On Friday, a QuikTrip and a Conoco For Your Convenience in the midtown area were selling gasoline for $2.99 a gallon. The price was about 15 cents cheaper than what was posted by most other stations around town.

No. No, no, no. Do
re-format TNG to 16:9.
The directors and cinematographers working on TNG constructed their shots for a 4:3 aspect ratio. If you want to take it to 16:9, you can only do that in one of two ways -- either you chop off some of the top and bottom of each scene or you include things outside the original border of the frame that were never meant to be included in the shot. Either way, you totally change the director's construction of the scene.
To me, doing TNG in 16:9 would be no different than taking a feature film and doing it pan-and-scan. Both destroy the original image and both are unacceptable.

Dave Wakeling on the Tuning That Flummoxed Pete Townshend and David Gilmour
Blackett, Matt, Guitar Player
ENGLISH BEAT AND GENERAL PUBLIC guitarist Dave Wakeling is best known for his hit "Save It for Later," a bouncy, infectious skapop gem. The song's tuning, D, A, D, A, A, D, or "Dad-Odd," as he says, not only gave rise to the tune's catchy riff, it also managed to stump a couple of Wakeling's heroes, who are pretty good guitarists in their own right.--Matt Blackett
"The tuning was meant to be DADGAD but I screwed up," he jokes, "but it has a nice sort of Celtic poignancy, I think. Anyway, one day Pete Townshend phones me and says, 'I'm sitting here with David Gilmour, and we're having a bit of trouble finding your tuning for "Save It for Later."' I think it was the most wonderful moment of my life as a guitar player. Those three-minute pop explosions of the Who were a big part of my early life. Then, a bit later, Ummagumma and records like that took over and the sounds of Pink Floyd were very important. …
