Smile, and the world will smile with you.
haha. I like it. These should be printed out as a series of nonsense motivational posters.
yes because we all care about pageviews and comments!
thats why we all joined DA
thats why we all joined DA
Love his facial expression. X3
lol, Awsomeness!!!!!!
I dunno - people think your'e being a wise-ass when you smile at everything, but you could just as likely be blissfully oblivious to what's going on
I feel like this should be said in an art class when you just can't think of what the teacher wants you to do in relation to what you ACTUALLY want to do. ...So you just keep smiling in front of that empty space! Haha!
You know. That's actually what I'm trying to do right now.
My mind is blank and I'm smiling.
My mind is blank and I'm smiling.
In a strange, weird way - he makes sense
Words to live by. And it actually works, sometimes.
I was more apt to look at it because of its simpler nature. The thumbnail had me genuinely curious about the text!
It has so many meanings.
Lol it's cute!
I always do that and it always help. Because it reflected on me.
it's simple. it's adorable. it's a winner in my book
Makes me think about not getting discouraged when looking at a blank sheet of paper or canvas and to look forward to filling it up.
I like it.
This would work as some sort of business card, or flyer to promote the comic.
I love the message. I always
try to do so. Haha! Nice
simple drawing.
try to do so. Haha! Nice
simple drawing.
Thanks for this! Is very true, but is hard to keep smiling when you cannot do a simple drawing. Anyway I'll do it
That's like my life, every single day!
Makes sense to me.
AWESOME!!!~~~... really coo :3
This would be hilarious on a shirt.

@MacMovieMan did you check your keychain (applications > utilities > keychain access) to find out if you have any references to the old fileshare name?
MacMovieMan Feb 8, 2012 1:14 PM
in response to JGAtlanta
Thanks JGAtlanta!!! I
I'm kinda of an idiot, but I deleted the referances to the time machine on my keychain, and I did a complete reboot of the time machine at the same time. One of the two of those did the trick. Should have done them one at a time, but honestly, I think it was the keychain that did it!
Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Now I'm having this problem! Mine started the moment I installed a new Epson 645 wireless printer. Even since then, I've gotten the dreaded server can't be found message. I've tried TM with the printer off. Any ideas?

I just started getting similar on a macbook pro that has been working fine until recently. Didn't think it would have anything to do with a new HP printer, but I may have to try removing the printer from the setup and seeing if that works. Maybe the driver has messed with something.

Thanks to everyone for all the info here. Whilst I couldn't find the exact fix, it steered me in the right direction. And I know that this solution isn't by any means the gold-plated one at all, but here was my 'fix':
The messages did not start coming up until I moved my iPhoto library to my TC. Then they were incessant, and only came up whilst iPhoto was open. I tried everything, but my ultimate 'fix' was to move my iPhoto library back to my iMac. Now, I know this isn't exaclty a fix as such, it's working around the problem rather than fixing it. And I know that you should be able to use your TC as an external disk for storage and not just for backup. However, this 'fix' has lowered my blood pressure, and that's what's really important, right?
For those who have too many photos to do this, I would suggest splitting your library into an archive and an active library, maybe with your last 50-100Gb of pictures (depending on the size of your HDD). Oddly enough, my entire 80Gb music collection is on my TC, but with iTunes running, I get no such error messages, nor do I when accessing large files (movies) or during Time Machine backups. For me it was just iPhoto.
So, thanks to the wise words of the much more techno-savvy here, I have identified and avoided the problem rather than really fixing it, but I'm happier for having doing so. If this simple idea floats your boat, then it's a possible alternative to hours of head scratching and wanting to throw your keyboard against the wall.

I traced my issue down to Saphos Anti-virus. After I removed that, I didn't get the pop up anymore. It must muck with the return codes back to TimeMachine somehow so its not ignoring the disk no longer being available. You COULD make your time capsule available over iCloud, but I don't like that for security reasons.
Kimbakat Jul 27, 2012 8:17 AM
in response to SanDiegoSteve-O
I was having same problem. But not using Time Machine.
I've deleted my old server's keychains since the name was changed recently and was reinstalled.
I will update if it works.
Kimbakat Jul 27, 2012 8:23 AM
in response to Kimbakat
I did delete my old Login for the server...logged out and logged back in.
Didn't work. Still get the popup.
Kimbakat Jul 27, 2012 8:26 AM
in response to Kimbakat
Could the problem be cause by an old preference in the -- SYSTEM/LIBRARY/LaunchDaemons folder?
maxsumae Aug 9, 2012 7:17 AM
in response to richardfromhamlin
I was getting this random pop up randomly...
I use to have my MBP17" laptop connected via wifi to my MacPro. If my laptop was off, I would often get this dialog telling me that M17 was missing.
Which it was.
If my laptop was on, then no random messages. So far so good. But what happens when you replace your laptop with a new MBPr with a new name? Well.. you get these little reminders about your old machine whether you want them or not...
To stop the madness...
A scary dialog box pops up, click "ok" if you are not scared.
This should take care of the random missing server pop ups...PS APPLE:
It would be nice if we had a "Forget" button on the dialog this dialog so it would be obvious how to resolve this issue.
It would be nice to be able to just clear the one connection that is giving you issues instead of doing a "clear entire list" solution we have now...E r i c W h i t e { D r i v e C r e a t i v e . n e t }

Hi there!!!
I did what maxsumae say but still having the same windows with the same issue and then i did this:
Apple logo ->system preference -> users & groups -> user account -> login items -> remove all items related to the server that I used to connect
Reboot and done, never show up again!!!!
It could be little dummy but his way work for me, hope can help...
Rafael Santos Sep 1, 2012 3:29 AM
in response to richardfromhamlin
Here is a possible working solution.
I had the same problem here -- I have a Time Machine with an external disk connected to it. For some reason I was unable to do backups or connect to the external disk, with the same dialog shown by maxsumae.
I opened Keychain Access, removed ALL references to my Time Machine on it, turned the Time Machine off and on again, and entered the same password I was using when prompted, and everything is working fine so far.
Didn't need to erase disks, reinstall anything, remove plist files or lose any files or backups, for some reason the disk wasn't connecting but wifi was OK. Give it a try, it is quite safe.
Salomoni Oct 17, 2012 2:09 AM
in response to richardfromhamlin
Detouring the annoyance of the popup (or cleaning by putting dust under carpet):
-> Add a new desktop window in "Mission control", one that you never navigate into, and place the annoying dialog there. It will stay away from braking up your work flow.
The popup won't disturb, as apparently only one instance of it can be thrown by the OS.
t_bif Oct 17, 2012 3:12 PM
in response to richardfromhamlin
I had the same general problem: every few minutes I would get the message "There was a problem connecting to the server 'myserver'. Contact your system administrator for more information."
The problem went away for me when I reset the sync server.
I hope this works for others as well.

This seems to have worked for me. I have my time machine unplugged and hopefully the prob will go away.

Jay Snowden commented, "We are very excited to welcome Rafael to the Penn National team and believe his track record in developing and growing gaming operations in markets of varying size across the U.S. make him an ideal candidate to build on the strong performance at Zia Park Casino. Zia Park is benefiting from a healthy economy in its east New Mexico and west Texas feeder markets and we believe Rafael's success in cultivating relationships with Texas-based customers, particularly at Pinnacle's property in Lake Charles, Louisiana, will serve him well as he works to replicate that success in New Mexico in both our gaming and racing operations."Zia Park is a key member of both the Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing communities in New Mexico and we look to a continued close partnership with the local horsemen under Rafael's leadership. I'd like to thank Brent Willits for his record of service at Penn National and for the solid foundation he built at Zia Park since assuming the GM role at the facility in 2010. On behalf of the entire senior management team at Penn National, I wish him the best in his retirement."

Whether you're talking first five or all 25, the Big East is the power player in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll.
While North Carolina (3-0) regained its status as the unanimous No. 1 on Monday (31 first-place votes, 775 points), Pittsburgh moved up two spots to fourth to join No. 2 Connecticut and No. 3 Louisville to give the Big East majority rule among the top five.
Pittsburgh (4-0) was the only newcomer to the top five after jumping over No. 5 holdover Duke (6-0). The Associated Press media poll reflected the same top four in its rankings, also released Monday.
Eighth-ranked Notre Dame gives the Big East three teams among the top 10 and seven in the Top 25 in all -- No. 15 Marquette, No. 16 Georgetown and No. 22 Villanova.
UConn received one first-place vote in last week's poll before Monday's rankings put all 31 in the Tar Heels' hands.
The remainder of the top 10 -- No. 6 Michigan State, Texas, the Fighting Irish, Purdue and Gonzaga -- all moved up one spot this week after UCLA (3-1) fell from fourth to 11th following its 55-52 loss to Michigan in the 2K Sports Classic.
Xavier (5-0) was the lone newcomer to this week's Top 25 following the Musketeers' 63-58 upset of Memphis in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off championship game. The Tigers (4-1), last season's NCAA runner-up, dropped from 12th to 17th.
Xavier joined the AP Top 25 at No. 16.
The rest of the second 10 following UCLA: No. 12 Tennessee (3-0), Oklahoma (4-0), Arizona State (3-0), Marquette (3-0), Georgetown (2-0), Memphis, Florida (3-0), Wisconsin (4-0) and Xavier.
Miami, Villanova, Kansas, Wake Forest and Davidson round out the rankings.

Cry: Consumed by Madness by Kiwa007Watch
©2013-2016 Kiwa007
Wow. Thats all I can say. Great piece of art, I love the composition of the colors since you took orange and black for contrasting. This picture definitely also has a metaphorical value as well as a physical value. The best thing about this picture i think, is the face, it has a nice "mad" facial expression and the mask fits the purpose of this picture very well. Things that can be improved on are perhaps the blood on the clothes could be improved, i dont feel like it is too believable. Another thing is the lighting on the shirt, It could be improved slightly.
However this picture is definitely one of your best and I love it.

Amazing! I love how you replaced the straight line on his mask with a bloody grin, it's very unique. It matches up with Mad!Cry very well. Another thing that caught my eye was how well you did with the shading in the clothes. The blood on the clothing is quite amazing too! And how you used the colors in the backround - genious! The insane grin on his face, how he looks like he wants to saw someone's head in with that chainsaw, true artistic talent! The glint on the chainsaw is a great idea. It's like I'm watching an insane anime. You are truely an amazing artist, everything about this is an absolute 100% for me.

I'd make a fanfic for this but no amount of words can describe how disturbingly awesome this picture is .____.
I love it c:
I really like that the blood imprints on the shirt are in the shape of hands
someone got up on the wrong side of bed XD
You cry art is in one word BRILLIANT. I was literally just browsing around the place when I saw this and it just drew me in. The character you have created is just so fascinating and complex and you have done this imagery alone. To be honest I'm in love with this character I would love to see a comic of this.
Love it!
*in raspy voice* Awesome. Woah... woah... I sound like cry. La la la... mmm... yes. :3
Beautiful picture ;_;
omg awesome!I love mad cry pics! Actually any cry fanart is awesome! He has the mini chainsaw
This is awesome!
I especially love the background for some reason. And I like how the blood makes a smile on his mask.

Speed painting
The snow caught in the fabric and hair really sold it
Fantastic job!!
Awesome piece. It really looks like it's snowing there and the guy is suffering the cold.
Awesome, I love the skin texture and the face, it looks really realistic. Can hardly believe it's a speed painting! The bits of snow caught in his beard look great too, very nice touch
Wow that's fantastic. You can tell just by how he's standing and his face that he's cold, poor guy.
this is great!
I really love the feeling you've added. Just marvelous. =]

Rookie WR Brooks Foster placed on injured reserve
Rams place rookie WR Brooks Foster on IR
By Jim Thomas
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
09.01.2009 1:36 pm
As expected, the Rams placed wide receiver Brooks Foster on the injured reserve list Tuesday, as part of the mandatory roster cutdown to 75 players. Foster, a fifth-round draft pick from North Carolina, suffered an ankle injury in the preseason opener against the Jets that required surgery.
The Rams waited until the cutdown to place Foster on IR, because he would have counted against the 80-man roster and been required to go through waivers had they made the move earlier.

Brewers Batter Bucs' Charlie Morton on His Return to Majors
Biertempfel, Rob, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
MILWAUKEE -- A three-month hiatus in the minor leagues didn't seem to do much for Pirates right-hander Charlie Morton.
The Milwaukee Brewers rocked Morton for eight runs in 3 1/3 innings Sunday and cruised to an 8-4 victory. The blowout gave the Brewers their third series sweep of the Pirates this season.
Pirates reliever Evan Meek was struck by a line drive in the eighth inning and left the field with an injured right hand.
With two outs, Ryan Braun hit a smash up the middle. Meek reacted by drawing his arms toward his chest.
X-rays taken at Miller Park on his pinky finger were negative, but Meek is expected to be out of action for a few days.
Morton became the fifth Pirates pitcher to lose 10 games this season -- the first time that's happened since 1954. That year, the Pirates went 53-101, their third straight 100-loss season, and finished in eighth place.
Morton (1-10) allowed nine hits, including Ryan Braun's two-run homer, walked one and hit one batter. His ERA in 11 starts this season zoomed to 10.03.
It was Morton's first start in the majors since May 27. He went on the disabled list due to what the team called "shoulder fatigue," then made 14 starts for Triple-A Indianapolis.
Morton put up decent numbers -- 4-4 with a 3.83 ERA -- with Indy and was recalled to replace Ross Ohlendorf, who's out with a strained back muscle.
"He's been building and working on a lot of things down there (at Indy) to get himself mentally and physically ready," manager John Russell said before the game. …

Sharing what's inside

Wednesday, July 10, 2013
First of all I'd like to say thank you for your comments on my last blog. You are all a great support. What I shared was actually just the tip of my 'stressberg'. That's what I call the problems and stresses when they build on each other and grow so large like an iceberg. The way I see it, there are only two options to cope with a stressberg when it starts to get out of control: grow stronger in order to hold all the weight, or share the load. Of course the third option is to collapse under the weight, but let's not go there.
There is one comment in particular I'd like to address, from JOHNTJ1 who said: "I feel honored that you trust us enough to share what lies deep inside of you". That made me stop and wonder, is what I did unusual? Is sharing our problems becoming unusual? In this age of 'everythings-great-on-facebook
', where people share their photos of parties and vacations and good times, it seems that nobody is talking about the bad ones too. Occasionally you'll here someone say 'my Dad is in the hospital, please pray for him', but no-one says 'I'm so worried about my Dad I can't sleep, I can't concentrate and I feel like I'm coming apart at the seams, can someone PLEASE come over and give me a hug? Take me out for a night on the town because I need some company and a distraction!"
If I saw that or heard that from one of my friends I'd be by her side in a minute, and I'm sure you all would too. Of course there are people who always have problems, who are drama queens and no one wants perpetual drama in their life. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm getting at is that average people are not opening up to each other anymore, not sharing, and it's quite possible that there are a ton of people out there drowning in their own stresses and no one knows it.
John's comment made me realize that I have not opened up either. Outside of my husband, maybe only two of my friends (the kind I see face-to-face) know what's been going on in my life. It's wrong and from now on I'm going to try and open more. If you run a company you don't do everything yourself, you use your colleagues and employees. They are your resources. What is so different about our lives?

Thanks for sharing.

I think it's hard for most of us to find a balance between sharing and "oversharing". Also, I'm sure there is a fear that people will not respond as we hope. There are also people whose stress is of their own making. Sometimes they are the ones who complain the most, and we maybe don't want to feel like we are being lumped in with them by sharing our own stresses. I don't know. These are all things that go through my mind when I think about seeking moral support. Anyway, all that is neither here nor there when what you need is unflinching sympathy and a great big cyber hug! You've got both from me.

Thank you for this post! The world is such a hectic place and we are all inundated with stimuli and problems. I think many of us are wary of sharing our burdens as we don't want to increase the burdens of others. We don't want to be seen as weak or whiny. To me, true strength is being able to ask for help!

Nestle rep 'confirms' October debut of Android 4.4 KitKat
As if we needed further proof of that Google will officially bring Android 4.4 into the world next month, we have a Nestle representative echoing the recent rumor. According to an employee on Nestle's German Facebook team, the KitKat release will come in October.
Now, it's entirely possible that the person handling the Facebook account is simply passing along whispers already online. As to how they would have inside knowledge of a mobile platform is a little sketchy. Nevertheless, pieces are falling into place for the debut of the Nexus 5, Nexus 10 refresh, and Android 4.4 KitKat.

Though his receiving crew suffered from an early case of the drops, Service High quarterback C.J. Toomer ended up giving them much-deserved props.
Toomer shook off early struggles by his teammates Saturday night and helped the No. 2-ranked Cougars scratch back from a 19-point first-half deficit by throwing for 435 yards and four touchdowns, and rushing for one touchdown, to deliver a 37-36 Cook Inlet Conference victory over No. 1-ranked South.
The 3-hour, 4-minute drama played out at Anchorage Football Stadium, where Justice proved quick and unmerciful -- South's Justice Augafa furnished touchdown runs of 65 yards and 24 yards inside the opening seven minutes -- but perseverance provided prosperity for Service.
Toomer's first two passes were on the money, and ended up on the turf. His receivers suffered six clean drops and could not secure several other catchable balls, but the senior endured and his receivers finally got a grip.
Toomer completed 26 of 59 passes and threw two second-half touchdowns to Nahshon Fromm, who finished with 13 catches for 215 yards.
"It is frustrating,'' Toomer said. "But as a quarterback, you have to be calm and collected and tell them, 'Put it in the past and let's go out and catch some balls.' I told them that, and that's what they did.''
Fromm, who caught touchdown passes of 78 yards and 9 yards, said Service's coaching staff continued to push the passing game even as Cougar receivers suffered from self-inflicted wounds early. At one point in the first quarter, Toomer threw on 14 consecutive snaps from scrimmage. He unleashed 40 pass attempts in the first half alone.
"It's hard to regroup after drops, but the short passes were open, so our coaches kept throwing the short passes to get the receivers' confidence up and the quarterback's confidence up,'' Fromm said.
Service's Armend Aliju caught eight passes for 86 yards and two first-half touchdowns. The Cougars (5-1, 4-1 CIC), who moved into a first-place tie with defending state champion South (4-2, 4-1 CIC), favored passing over running by a margin of more than 2-to-1 -- they rushed 27 times.
"We decided to air it out against them and figured that's how we'd win,'' Toomer said.
Service did not lead until Fromm caught a ball on a quick curl pattern, eluded a tackle and scored on his 9-yarder with 5:57 left in the third quarter. Haleigh Van Allen's point-after gave the Cougars a 30-27 lead.
South countered less than four minutes later to forge a 30-30 tie on Eyob Imlach's 37-yard field goal.
Two plays later, Toomer hit Fromm deep on the right side for a 78-yard touchdown and a 37-30 lead.
South quarterback Alec Valdez connected with Max Micks on a 28-yard touchdown pass with 10:00 left in the game -- Micks was so open no defender was within 15 yards of him -- but the snap on the ensuing point-after attempt forced holder Tyler Kile to attempt a pass that was deflected. That held Service's lead at 37-36.
Imlach's 22-yard field goal attempt with just 98 seconds left to play was plenty long -- his earlier 37-yarder would have easily been good from 47 -- but slipped wide right, barely.
The kicking game, in part, proved South's undoing -- a snap over the head of punter Andrew West led to a first-quarter safety for Service.
Augafa, who rushed for 160 yards on 18 carries, generated the early excitement. On South's second snap from scrimmage, he carried the ball into the right side of the line, where there looked to be a traffic jam. Yet Augafa pierced the congestion and raced 65 yards.
"It was a small hole,'' Augafa said. "I got tripped up, but kept my balance and got underneath the tackles.''
Valdez's 26-yard touchdown pass to Alain Devoe on the first play of the second quarter staked South to a 21-2 lead, but the Cougars trimmed that margin to 21-16 by intermission.
Yet Valdez blazed 59 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the second half to give South a 27-16 cushion before Toomer and his receiving crew continued to feast on the Wolverines' secondary.
Service, leading 37-36 with less than five minutes to play, also survived its bold, go-for-it decision on fourth-and-14 from the South 46. Toomer's pass fell incomplete, which turned the ball over to South. The Wolverines marched to the Service 2, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty backed them up and preceded Imlach's missed field goal.
Service and South have played in the last two state championship games. South won last year and Service won in 2011. Depending on how the state-championship bracket unfolds, Toomer said he wouldn't be the least bit surprised if these teams once again play the last game of the season.
Ditto for Augafa.
"We just have to keep our heads up as a team, stay positive and shake off the bad things,'' he said.

Designer Creates Perfectly Useless Product Designs
247K views
Community member
Product designers are often preoccupied with making objects that are as useful as possible. However, Katerina Kamprani, an Athens-based architect and 3d modeller, has created a series of everyday objects called "The Uncomfortable" where just the opposite is true.
Instead of searching for the optimal solution to a problem, Kamprani has done the exact opposite, – she has carefully considered each objects intended function and then discovered the best tongue-in-cheek way to confound that function.

After nine amazing books, Caine delivers the heart-stopping finale in the adventures of Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin. As longtime fans know, Joanne is a never-say-die fighter, and regrettably, she is going to need every ounce of that nerve in this climactic novel. Although the world hangs in the balance, the core of this series has been the unbreakable relationship between Joanne and the Djinn David. Hang on tight as this tale races toward its breathtaking conclusion!
As a result of defeating a longtime enemy and saving the world, Joanne and her new husband David discover they have lost all their powers. Even more frightening is the realization that the Earth has been poisoned and the Djinn are dying. The delicate balance of nature is devolving into chaos, and Mother Earth is waking up. This is not a good thing, for without the Djinn to play intermediary, Mother Nature is inclined to remove mankind from the picture … permanently. Joanne, David, Cherise and Kevin set out on a quest to stop Mother Nature's judgment day, but the odds are long indeed! (ROC, Aug., 320 pp., $7.99)

We do not have exmarks down here yet, so cannot comment on how they hold up or cut. I can tell you that in comparison to ferris the hustlers are built way better. The cut quality of the vx4 is as good if not a little better than the ICD deck of the ferris. I now own a 2011 ferris thats fell apart under our harsh cutting conditions, a 2005 hustler Z that is in better shape than the ferris even though it brakes in rough properties for the ferris. I just purchased 2 2014 hustler super Z HD's in August or september, one has 200 hrs on it now, and only one problem we were cutting at transport height and deck belt burnt a whole in hydraulic hose. Fixed it zip tied it higher on both machines and not a problem since these machines are incredible.

Dear World Bank: Stop Funding Climate Change
World Bank President Dr. Kim has spoken repeatedly about the damages that climate change will inflict on our children and grandchildren and the poorest throughout the world. This is a welcome signal that he understands the consequences of climate change, so now is the time for Dr. Kim to lead the World Bank Group in following those words with its deeds. That is the message that nearly 60 development, environment, faith-based, human rights, and community groups conveyed in a letter to Dr. Kim today.
"…the World Bank cannot meaningfully address climate change unless its lending practices, and core energy portfolio, do not further exacerbate the climate crisis and its impact on vulnerable communities. It is by this measure, rather than words, that we judge the World Bank's commitment to addressing climate change."
According to data compiled by Oil Change International, the World Bank Group has invested in over $18 billion in oil, coal, and gas lending over the past 5 years (see figure).
Over this time period, the World Bank Group has invested over $6 billion in coal projects, such as a $3 billion loan for a massive coal-fired power plant in South Africa and a $740 million dollar coal-fired power plant in Chile to support a copper mining operation. At the same time, the World Bank Group has invested in over $2 billion worth of oil projects (with an additional $3 billion in financing that supports combined oil and gas projects).
It is this kind of investments that has led the groups to urge the World Bank Group to end support for all fossil fuel projects (other than assistance with transition, such as mine closure) unless it can be clearly demonstrated that: (1) the project's sole purpose is directly increasing energy access for the poor, and (2) a full examination of all costs – including damages to public health, welfare, the environment, and the climate – of the proposed project and any new renewable and efficiency alternatives demonstrates that it is the best alternative for delivering energy services to the poor. As the groups stated: "We believe that you will find few, if any, fossil fuel-based projects that meet these criteria."
It isn't too late for the World Bank to change course as there are clean energy alternatives literally popping up all over the place – like solar in India, geothermal in Chile, off-grid renewables in sub-Saharan Africa, and energy efficiency all over the place. And the World Bank Group is already investing in these types of activities so it shouldn't come as a surprise to them that there are real projects emerging throughout the world.
It is way past time for the World Bank Group to change course and invest in clean energy instead of fossil fuels. This isn't the first time they were confronted with this choice. Almost two years ago NRDC made specific recommendations that included:
- Integrating low carbon energy investments into all aspects of the World Bank lending and its energy and development planning efforts with client countries;
- Increasing renewable and energy efficiency lending; and
- Phasing-out high-GHG emitting fossil fuel lending in all client countries by 2015 –unless certain narrowly defined criteria for energy access are met.
And they can take additional steps like: establishing dedicated funds for off-grid renewable energy and distributed solar energy (as called for by 22 of the world's leading off-grid clean energy entrepreneurs), dedicating money in an energy efficiency facility to help spur more investment in energy efficiency, and creating a dedicated program to phase-out inefficient lighting. There are endless opportunities once the World Bank focuses all of its attention on clean energy investments.
Clearly Dr. Kim understands that making investments in projects that are driving climate change doesn't make sense. As he recently said:
"If we do not act to curb climate change immediately, we will leave our children and grandchildren an unrecognizable planet. It is the poor, those least responsible for climate change and least able to afford adaptation, who would suffer the most."
Now it is time to act!

Timber Timbre (solo) opening for Patrick Watson this weekend; Merganzer made a video, streaming album
by Andrew Sacher
Merganzer (photo by Alex Brüel-Flagstad)
Montreal chamber pop artist Patrick Watson is on tour now in support of this year's Love Songs for Robots, and it wraps up with NYC and Philly shows this weekend. Since we last spoke, those shows got pretty awesome support: solo sets from fellow Canadian TImber Timbre frontman Taylor Kirk (billed as "Timber Timbre solo").
The NYC show is tonight (12/11) at Irving Plaza and Philly is Saturday (12/12) at Underground Arts. Tickets for both shows are still available. Timber Timbre last released Hot Dreams in 2014.
In related news, Timber TImbre violinist Mika Posen has a new-ish project called Merganzer, and released her debut album under the moniker, Mirror Maze, last month. It's dreamy, downtempo pop that you'll probably dig if you like the other artists that this blog post is about. She put out the video for its title track (dir. Timothy I. Smith) this week. Watch that, and stream her whole album (via Exclaim) below.

Montreal's Patrick Watson released his newest album, Love Songs for Robots, last week (5/21) via Domino. If you haven't heard it yet, it's a lushly arranged chamber pop record that incorporates a lot of diverse sounds without seeming overstuffed with ideas. A professionally shot live video of its song "Hearts," which is part somber folk, part exotic polyrhythms, was just released. You can check that out, with an Rdio stream of the full album, below.
Patrick's tour hits NYC this Thursday (5/28) at Music Hall of Williamsburg with The Low Anthem (tickets), and he's also added many more dates including another NYC show later in the year.
He returns here to play Irving Plaza on December 11. Tickets for that show are currently on Live Nation/Music Geeks presales (pw: "musicgeeks"), and the general on-sale starts Friday (5/29) at noon.
Updated dates are listed, with that video and album stream, below...

Dodos / Braids @ Pop Montreal 9/26/2013
With the first day of POP Montreal always being a lighter day, Thursday (9/26) started things rolling toward the weekend and busier schedules with way too much to see in way too many parts of the city.
I freed up the early part of my evening by jumping at the chance to photograph the Patrick Watson and Braids soundchecks at L'Olympia ahead of their live broadcast performances and interviews with Jian Ghomeshi later that night for Q music. The restrictions for shooting the actual broadcast left little opportunity to get anything decent so, having shot both bands before, I found myself at a very empty O'Lympia in the middle of the afternoon.
After a brief stop at the POP Quarters for the media mixer it was off to the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art to see Suuns who I had last seen open for The Antlers at Webster Hall a couple years back. The sold out show featured projections of the band in duplicate. It took a song or so to realize that what we were watching wasn't live video but previously recorded live takes that were synced with each song and slightly off. The band sounded great and the extended back end of "Edie's Dream" was pulsingly hypnotic.
I left after that and made my way up Saint Laurent to catch The Dodos at Sala Rossa. When I arrived the venue was already on a one in, one out policy as Cousins finished up their set. The Dodos played a bunch of songs from their new album, Carrier, as well as a few older songs. The house lights came up after the first encore but with the crowd shouting for one more song the band obliged. "When you put it like that," said drummer Logan Kroeber, before the band launched into "The Season" to close out the set.
I also caught Viet Cong, the new band from some of the members of the defunct Women, and more on that soon. Pics from Day 1 are here. More pics from Day 2 below...

Sigur Ros @ Skyline Stage
For those counting at home, Dana (distortion) Yavin, Amanda Hatfield, David Andrako and Fred Pessaro // BBG have all dropped of their favorite photos that they took in 2012, and now comes a set from another long-time contributor, Dominick Mastrangelo. We'll let him take it from here...
I'm pretty sure everybody who photographs for this site has a list of bands they want to shoot before they hang up their camera or move on to something other than music. I'm no different and 2012 was the year I was able to cross a handful of those bands off my list. All were personal favorites from before I ever picked up a camera; some I had seen a bunch, some I hadn't seen in years and some I had never seen. To have photographed The Afghan Whigs twice, Sigur Rós twice, as well as Wilco, the reunited Ben Folds Five and The Old 97's (a band I saw in countless sweaty venues in my thirteen years in North Texas) over the span of six months, well, I consider myself very fortunate.
Also, Canada was very good to me. I covered Osheaga in August then returned a month later to cover POP Montreal for the second time. The following morning I was on a train to Toronto to cover the Polaris Prize gala. Nearly half of the photos below were taken north of the border and only a desire to not turn this into an all-Canada post kept me from including more.
Of the twelve I've selected, the above shot of Jonsi, the lead-singer of Icelandic band Sigur Rós, taken in Philadelphia at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts is probably my favorite. It was the band's first show in four years, the first time I was getting to photograph one of their shows and my first time seeing them since the last North American show of their Takk tour in February of 2006.
More of my favorite shots from 2012 are below.

Patrick Watson and Loney Dear at South Street Seaport - 7/6/12
It was hot and sticky at the Seaport on Friday evening (7/6) but, apart from minor insect invasion, it was a lovely evening of gently swooning music with Canadian Patrick Watson and Sweden's Loney Dear. It was a large crowd out for the show too, who sat attentively during Loney Dear's set but rose to their feet for Watson whose music straddles the line between cabaret and anthemic folk (complete with a musical saw at one point). Loney Dear's Emil Svanängen joined Watson at the piano for a song, as well. Nice night.
Below are more pictures from Loney Dear and Patrick Watson's set at the Seaport Music Festival as part of the River to River festival. Friday night at the Seaport, it's a pre-4Knots Fest show with Eleanor Friedberger and Ex-Cops.

Andrew Bird played 2 shows @ Beacon Theater (first with Patrick Watson & then Tift Merritt) -- pics & setlist
For the better part of 10 minutes Friday night, at his first of two NYC shows, Andrew Bird, he the all-world whistler/musical alchemist, said not a word. Before he was joined on stage by the rest of his band and before laying down his crooning baritone, Bird started his show at the Beacon Theatre flexing his multi-instrumental talent: whistling, tapping out a loop on the xylophone, plucking his violin, looping that. Adding a bit of guitar.
In a review a few years ago, I said Bird was like a mad scientist the way he flutters about the stage pulling all his instruments into gorgeously complex arrangements. And for sure, his aw-shucks demeanor and professorial (some would surely add dreamy) looks - all suits, sport coats, and perpetual five o'clock shadow - affirm this.
When I saw him at Tarrytown in October it was just he and collaborator/drummer Martin Dosh. Bird took his time and was more self-indulgent. And rightfully so.
On Friday, with a full band, Bird seemed more focused and inclined to stay on task as they attacked songs like "Eyeoneye" and "Danse Caribe" (both from his new full-length Break It Yourself) with purpose and ferocity.
When someone in the audience shouted "Measuring Cups!", Bird responded, "We can do that. We hadn't planned to..." And following the song he chipped in, "Happy to oblige."
But it was the old tyme part of the show where the band truly excelled. "What you hear is what we hear," Bird said following "Effigy", which, like songs "Give It Away," and the encore's cover of Townes Van Zandt's "If I Needed You", was performed around a solitary microphone. The songs also featured upright bass, adding to the folksy and, yeah, old tyme feel.
"Action/Adventure" from Weather Systems was also re-introduced. "Hadn't done this one in a long time," Bird admitted, "and never with a full band." All the while Bird waved his hand in the air, wagged his finger around trying to driving home his point like an animated lecturer.
A particularly intense version of "Plasticities" preceded the set closer "Tables and Chairs." "Fake Palindromes" wrapped up the show to a standing ovation.
Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson was the first night opener and is cut from the same cloth as Andrew Bird. His songs build in much the way Bird's do, going from quiet intros to soaring highs, dropping to hushed tones before coming back in. The title track is a good example. But there were no weak spots in this set, "Quiet Crowd," "Into Giants," and particularly "Words In The Fire" all impressed. Watson also pulled his band out from behind their positions to perform around a solo microphone. Bird even paid tribute to Watson during his set saying, "You know you're doing well when you can have openers of that level."
Watson played a 2nd NYC show -an early one, at Manhattan Inn on Saturday, right before Tift Merritt opened for Andrew Bird at the second Beacon show (where Tift joined Andrew on stage to help perform "Lusitania" much like St. Vincent did at Coachella).
More pictures from Friday and the setlist from Saturday, below...

Andrew Bird @ Tarrytown Music Hall (NY) in October (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)

Patrick Watson's Sacred Sunday
The afternoon of day 5, the final day, at Pop Montreal 2010 (catch up with day 1, day 2, day 3, and day 4) was a toss up between children's entertainer, Fred Penner and friends, or Patrick Watson's Sacred Sunday. With promises of pieces by Arvo Pärt and Bach and artists like Socalled and Brad Barr (from the Slip) along with Patrick Watson in a venue like Ukrainian Federation, it was an easy sell.
I walked into Pärt's "Fratres for String Quartet" and stayed until the end. In between it was an eclectic mix of religious and not-quite-religious songs with a rotating cast of performers. Watson's piano arrangement of "The Lord's Prayer" was beautiful as was Barr leading a re-worked version of Bach's "St. Matthew's Passion". Josh Dolgin of Socalled remembered Lhasa with a Kurt Weill cover. (Mary Margaret O'Hara mentioned Lhasa on Saturday night and it's clear not just by the tributes but in conversations over the course of the festival she is deeply missed by those she touched in the city she called home.) The event closed with everyone involved joining Watson for a rousing, uplifting version of "Old Time Religion." For even the most nonreligious it was hard not to be moved as people clapped, and Watson encouraged the audience with his megaphone. Early on, Socalled's Katie Moore said at the start or her version of "Satisfied Mind" something to the effect that all good religious songs should make you feel good about yourself. Well, the Ukrainian Federation was packed and as the "congregation" filed out there was no shortage of people, even a full 30 minutes after the event, walking - some even skipping - away singing the chorus to "Old Time Religion" and feeling very good about themselves.
I'd like to say that the festival ended on a high note, and maybe if I wasn't airport bound at 3:30am, it would have. Then I would have made it to the closing party headlined by Big Freedia at Espace Reunion. But the logistics were too great to overcome so my festival would come to an end at Casa del Popolo for Film School, Depreciation Guild and if I could swing it, Scout Niblett across the boulevard at Sala Rossa. Not entirely excited about what I had heard from Montreal's Receivers, I arrived an hour late, just in time for... Receivers. The entire show was pushed back as Film School were delayed at the border. So, Receivers were on and the venue was full but even live they failed to impress. It was uninspired shoegaze and the most underwhelming set of the festival. Depreciation Guild were next and when one of the band members said to the in-over-his-head sound guy, "We've lost all power on stage," things looked to get even worse. The power was eventually recovered, but clearly things were not right as band members continued to ask for more vocals. The Brooklyn band soldiered on and were tight and energetic but on a Sunday night, and late at that, the crowd had thinned and gave little back.
I skipped over to Sala Rossa, presented to me as the 'Bowery Ballroom of Montreal', to catch some of Scout Niblett. She was already into her set and had the crowd fully cast. Her hushed, sparse vocals gave way to vicious guitar and heavy metal-drumming on "Hot To Death" and everything felt more sinister with the velvet red background and decor. The evening looked to be turning.
However, by the time I got back to Casa del Popolo I imagined Film School would already be on, but they were still pulling everything together and apparently having more sound issues. By the time they started it was well over an hour from their original start time and the crowd had thinned a bit more. They started strong and sounded good until Greg Bertens' mic went out during the second song. A verbal back and forth with the sound guy, who looked shattered at this point, culminated in Bretens, no doubt frustrated from the delays at the border and scurrying to get to the venue, telling him he should just "leave the board." They played the song over with the mic working this time and carried on but the vocals were still way down and it marred what had the potential to be a great set. And what should have been a positive end to a very enjoyable festival.
Until next year. More pictures from Sunday, and a video from the Patrick Watson church show, below...

"At the sold-out Sasquatch, bands holding down the headliner spots haven't necessarily turned out to be the biggest draws. Sure, My Morning Jacket played to a mostly packed house on Saturday, and Massive Attack was overwhelmingly solid on Sunday despite a not-so-full amphitheater floor, but the band drawing the most populous, most stoked, most deserved gathering was unquestionably Vampire Weekend."

Patrick Watson has a rare gift of making serious music that isn't really serious at all. He manages to be playful and ramshackle, drinking what he claimed was a pint glass full of whiskey, and looking like he was mischievously playing his mother's piano when he knew he wasn't supposed to, and with posture that would have terrorized piano teachers the world round. He mesmerized a room full of chattering adults at 92YTribeca Friday night, into respectful silence. According to friends at the Bell House for the show the previous night, at one point you could actually hear crickets.
Doveman, who next plays a show at LPR on Thursday night, opened the evening with Thomas Bartlett's sweet and understated falsetto. More pictures below...

Sam Amidon @ The Bell House in January (more by Vincent Cornelli)
Sam Amidon is currently in Europe playing with the Whale Watching tour, a group show that includes Ben Frost, Nico Muhly, Valgeir Sigurðsson and others. A live video from one of their recent gigs is below. Sam will be back to play Mercury Lounge on Wednesday, June 23rd. Tickets are on sale.
Sam Amidon's I See the Sign, out now on Bedroom Community, is an amazing listen, and one of the highlights, maybe surprisingly, is the R. Kelly cover posted above. At the album release show in April his comments on the tune - "I thought R. Kelly had done something really amazing...He'd written a song that had no bearing on reality" (via Village Voice) - shed some light on the foreboding irony of the song. The albums' other songs come from a variety of sources: bluegrass, Appalachian folk, blues - all become recognizably his, with instrumentation by composer Nico Muhly, parts played by Daniel Bjarnason and Shazad Ishmaily, and backup vocals from Beth Orton. He discusses recording the album in Iceland in a recent World Cafe session. Listen here. Also read our interview with Sam conducted at Big Ears.
Sam's friend & collaborator & band Doveman opened the album release show at 92YTribeca on April 10th. Doveman plays tonight at Bell House and at 92YTribeca Friday (5/6 & 5/7) opening for Patrick Watson.
Doveman also plays with Elysian Fields at (Le) Poisson Rouge on Thursday, May 13th. Tickets are on sale.
Videos of Sam and the Whale Watching tour are below...

She and Him: The Lillywhite Session
Set List
- "Take It Back"
- "You've Really Got a Hold on Me"
- "Change Is Hard"
Produced by the legendary Steve Lillywhite, She & Him inaugurates World Cafe's new Lillywhite Sessions series from Avatar Studios in New York City. David Dye hosts the duo with discussion of its debut album, Volume One, while Lillywhite offers his own commentary on the music.
Since their initial collaboration on a single for the soundtrack to the film The Go-Getter, M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel went on to record a full-length collection of her demos. Volume One seamlessly combines her syrupy-sweet voice with his simplistic yet stunning instrumentals. Through songs of love both lost and found, She & Him captures timeless sounds and rhythms.
This segment originally aired June 11, 2008.
