text: 14 Mar 2016 Memorable culture bust-ups Previous slide Next slide 1 of 33 View All Skip Ad Rows on twitter, rows over musical differences, rows over film roles: the culture arena is famous for its bust-ups. Here, we look at 30 memorable arts spats including Madonna, Morrissey and Miley (above), right up to actor Laurence Fox's foul-mouthed clash with a theatre heckler. 80 great quotes about love and romance Credit: PA/Rex fEatures Top Gear v Retired Colonel On March 14, 2016, Chris Evans (top right) apologised "unreservedly" after scenes for the new Top Gear series were filmed near the Cenotaph in central London. Host Matt Le Blanc (below right) was seen driving around Westminster as shooting took place for the new series of the BBC Two show, which is due to air in May. Pictures showing the car near the war memorial in Whitehall were criticised as "gravely disrespectful" by retired Colonel Richard Kemp. He told the Telegraph: "This is a sacred tribute to millions of people who have done far more for their country than Chris Evans and Matt Le Blanc ever will."He added: "Jeremy Clarkson was certainly no saint but I don't believe he would have ever performed a stunt in such bad taste."Speaking on his Radio 2 breakfast show, Evans, who took over presenting the show after Clarkson was sacked for hitting a producer, said: "I would like to apologise unreservedly." Credit: Wenn/PA/Rex Features Laurence Fox v heckler In March 2016, actor Laurence Fox, 37, apologised for swearing at a heckler while performing in a play. Fox (above) said the audience member at London's Park Theatre had become "so loud and so impossible to deal with" that he could not continue without reacting. The star of ITV's Lewis is playing French statesman Charles de Gaulle in The Patriotic Traitor. According to the Evening Standard, during a live performance Fox scolded a man in the front row with the words: "I won't bother telling you the story because this c--- in the front row has ruined it for everybody." He left the stage and did not return for the final bow. Speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme on March 10, Fox said: "Can I just start by apologising to the other 199 people in the theatre for my use of language."It was a very emotional part of the play and I was very upset about it, and then upset about how I'd behaved." He explained: "This gentleman in the theatre started heckling, muttering and heckling early on during the play, and then towards the end started telling me to eff off ..." And it became so loud and so impossible to deal with, that I really should have had a little speech prepared and gone 'Excuse me sir, you can either leave' - or whatever." He said he regretted using the swear word "in the heightened emotion of the thing". Credit: Rex Features Eamonn Holmes vs One Direction Eamonn Holmes took to Twitter to voice his disapproval at One Direction failing to tell fans in person when they cancelled their gig at the SSE Arena in Belfast. Unfortunately for Holmes, he didn't acocunt for the boy band's legions of fans who quickly leapt to their defence. Carol Hughes v Jonathan Bate Carol Hughes, widow of the poet Ted Hughes, objected to Jonathan Bate's 2015 biography, Ted Hughes: The Unauthorised Life, on the grounds that the book contains: "glaring factual inaccuracy and tasteless speculation". She was particularly outraged by the author's claim that Hughes's widow and son stopped off "for a good lunch" while accompanying the poet's remains from London to Devon after his death in October 1998. "The idea that Nicholas and I would be enjoying a 'good lunch' while Ted lay dead in the hearse outside is a slur suggesting utter disrespect," she said. William Shatner v George Takei Actors William Shatner (Captain James Kirk) and George Takei (Hikaru Sulu) acted alongside each other in the original series of Star Trek - but outside of the show, things were never that cordial. In fact, according to Shatner, the pair haven't spoken for a quarter of a century. "He is a very disturbed individual, that's the truth of the matter is," Shatner, who is 84, said of Takei in October 2015. "I don't know him. I haven't seen him in 25 years, I don't know what he is up to. It is not a question that has any meaning to me. It is like asking about George Foreman or something." Stephen King v Paul LePage Horror writer Stephen King was as tenacious as some of his more sinister characters in seeking an apology from Maine Governor Paul LePage. LePage used a radio address in March 2015 to make his case for eliminating Maine's income tax. He said states without an income tax, such as Florida, have lured away Maine residents, including King. King quickly called out LePage, saying he winters in Florida but his permanent residence is in Bangor, Maine, where he says he pays a boatload of taxes. LePage has yet to yield to King's demands for an apology, and the author tweeted that "some guys are a lot better at dishing it out than taking it back". Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke vs Marvin Gaye Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke were ordered to pay $7.4 million to the children of the late singer Marvin Gaye, after a judge ruled that their 2013 hit Blurred Lines was plagiarised from Gaye's 1977 track Got to Give It Up.In a statement Thicke and Williams said: "While we respect the judicial process we are extremely disappointed in the ruling made today, which sets a horrible precedent for music and creativity going forward."Gaye's daughter, Nona, said: "Right now I feel free. Free from Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke's chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told." Jeremy Clarkson vs the BBC Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson was axed from the BBC show after reports that he punched one of its producers, Oisin Tymon (above right). Clarkson's fellow presenter James May later confirmed that the television star had been involved in "a bit of a dust up". Madonna vs Armani After her on-stage tumble at the 2015 Brit Awards, Madonna was quick to exonerate her backing dancers of any blame, telling ITV's Jonathan Ross that the fall was caused by the fact that the "silky string" at the top of her cape wouldn't unfasten: "I had a choice: I could either be strangled or fall with the cape, and I fell."However, the man behind the cape, designer Giorgo Armani, wasn't best pleased with the implied criticism of his handiwork, and responded by blaimg the singer's own incompetence for her fall."The cape had a hook and she wanted a tie, and she wasn't able to open it with her hands," he said. "That's all there is to it. Madonna, as we all know, is very difficult." Kanye West vs Shirley Manson At the 2015 Grammy Awards, West objected to the fact that rocker Beck had won the Album of the Year Award, claiming that Beck need to "respect artistry" and "should have given his award to Beyoncé". While the rapper later apologised to Beck, one observer who wasn't easily placated was Garbage singer Shirley Manson. Manson posted an angry open letter to West, in which she wrote: "It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry". After West replied (tantalisingly, his email has not been made public) Manson responded with an even angrier public letter. "What alarms me more than anything about your nasty little barbs is that you are in the business of representing artists interests and yet you are clearly unaware that not all musicians are obsessed with the charts or being famous," she wrote."There are even some of us who do not believe that being famous is the holy grail or the answer to a beautiful, meaningful and rewarding life ... Who most definitively do NOT want to be chased by paparazzi and who do NOT want to put their family name to some s****y , poorly made product in order to build a "brand" and who most definitely do NOT want to go out every night, dressed up to the nines to the opening of an envelope." Noel Gallagher vs Ed Sheeran In January 2015, after hearing that Sheeran was due to play three gigs at Wembley stadium, former Oasis frontman Gallagher said: "I don't think I can live in a world where that's even possible. When you hear that kind of polished pop and then there's a ginger guy with a f**king guitar it seems subversive, but it's f**king not." Sheeran later responded by offering Gallagher tickets to one of his London gigs. "You cheeky so and so. My daughter would love some," Gallagher replied. Ahead of the 2015 Brits (at which Sheeran won British Album of the Year), Gallagher claimed that the annual music awards was sidelining indie musicians. "I'm an independent artist and we get shafted by people at the Brits," he told the BBC's Colin Paterson. "You won't see an independent artist [among the nominees], unless they sell 50 million records and it becomes an impossibility to leave them out." Azealia Banks vs Iggy Azalea In December 2014, the long-running feud between these two female rappers reached new heights, after Banks suggested that Australian Azalea, who is white, was exploiting the traditionally "black" musical genre of rap, and pushing authentic black artists out of the business. Azalea responded with a series of tweets, one of which read: "Special msg for banks: There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you haven't is because of your p**s poor attitude". Banks promptly responded by sending an Azalea an image of a black and white minstrel show, with the words "this is you". Banks had previously criticised Azalea for not speaking out after a court failed to indict the NYPD officer accused of choking Eric Garner to death (Garner later died, and the case sparked the widespread "I Can't Breathe" protests). In a tweet, Banks claimed that Azalea was only interested in the "cool" status of black culture, and didn't care about black issues. Breaking Bad v Toys 'R' Us The American toy shop Toys "R" Us was confronted by a petition from angry parents after it began selling a range of "drug dealer dolls", complete with guns and rocks of crystal meth, based on the television series Breaking Bad. The petition, led by a concerned Florida-based parent named Susan Myers, gained almost 6,000 signatures. Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston eventually responded to the furore by tweeting: "Florida mom petitions against Toys 'R Us over Breaking Bad action figures. I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest." Adam Lambert v Russell Crowe In January 2013, Russell Crowe defended the singing on the new film Les Misérables after criticism from former American Idol star Adam Lambert. Lambert had criticised Tom Hooper's new movie musical, insisting Les Misérables "suffered massively" due to its all-star cast "pretending to be singers". He also said the voices should have been "studio recorded and sweetened". Crowe, who plays Javert in the film, said: "Sure it could have been sweetened, [director] Tom Hooper wanted it raw and real, that's how it is." Spike Lee v Quentin Tarantino Filmmaker Spike Lee had criticised Tarantino for the liberal use of the word 'n-----' in his film Django Unchained. But Tarantino later defended its use in his slavery-era spaghetti western saying: "If somebody is out there actually saying when it comes to the word 'n-----,' the fact that I was using it in the movie more than it was being used in the antebellum south in Mississippi, then feel free to make that case. But no one's actually making that case. They are saying I should lie, that I should whitewash, that I should massage, and I never do that when it comes to my characters." Aretha Franklin v Beyoncé Aretha Franklin said that she "cracked up" laughing at reports that Beyoncé lip-synched through The Star Spangled-Banner at president Obama's inauguration ceremony. The 70-year-old singer performed My Country, 'Tis of Thee at Barack Obama's first inauguration ceremony in Washington DC four years ago. Franklin told ABC News she still thinks Beyoncé "did a beautiful job" at the 2013 event but added: "When I heard the news this evening that she was pre-recorded I really laughed. I thought it was funny." Morrissey v David Bowie Morrissey and Bowie toured together in 1995, but the pair parted ways before its end after a rumoured disagreement. Since then the Smiths singer hasn't held back in voicing his opinions on Bowie. In January's edition of Uncut, Morrissey discussed Mick Ronson, the late guitarist who played with Bowie and produced Morrissey's 1992 album, Arsenal. Morrissey said, "None of David's $20,000-a-day US guitarists had a single grain of Mick's natural style, and even Eno only worked with David for 14 days." He also called Bowie "Showie" and said that the public "only fell in love with Ziggy Stardus", during a 2004 interview on The Jonathan Ross Show. Morrissey also said that Bowie was "only relevant by accident" in a GQ interview in the same year. Perhaps unsurprisingly, in 2013, Bowie told EMI not to use an image of him and Morrissey together after it was proposed as artwork for the former Smith singer's new release. David Bowie: the man who loved books Michael Bay v Megan Fox Director Michael Bay announced in February that Megan Fox will star in the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, despite the actress comparing him to Hitler and saying he was "a nightmare" to work with. Bay later said: "I'm sorry, Megan. I'm sorry I made you work 12 hours. I'm sorry that I'm making you show up on time. Movies are not always warm and fuzzy." This one may have a twist in it yet. One Direction v The Wanted In April 2013, a fiery Twitter spat broke out between rival boy bands One Direction and The Wanted (above, The Wanted member Tom Parker, One Direction's Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson and Jay McGuinness from The Wanted). The dispute, which began after The Wanted's Tom Parker admitted that he had failed an X Factor audition at the age of 16, quickly turned nasty, with One Direction star Lous Tomlinson claiming that Parker was "the biggest t--- on Twitter". One Direction member Liam Payne then joined in, insulting Parker's singing. The Wanted band member Jay McGuinness finally wrote a lengthy, if insulting, tweet (directed at Payne) to end the squabble. He said, "I'm not sure what's happened since we saw you at The X Factor, but you've done a sterling job of becoming one of the most overrated, arrogant and not to mention insincere people around". Kirk Cameron v Stephen Hawking Growing Pains actor and Christian evangelist Kirk Cameron was angered by Stephen Hawking's comment about the human brain. Hawking said: "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers. That is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." Cameron, a who heads the online ministry, Way of the Master, responded on Facebook with the odd comment that: "to say anything negative about Stephen Hawking is like bullying a blind man. He has an unfair disadvantage, and that gives him a free pass on some of his absurd ideas." Hawking suffers from a motor neurone disease that has left him totally paralysed. George Orwell v Gandhi In April 2013, construction on a park to commemorate the Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi was stopped in Motihari, in Bihar state, east India because the park would have encroached on the land and dilapidated house where British novelist George Orwell was born in 110 years ago. Robbie Willams v Liam Gallagher In June 2013, Liam Gallagher has reignited an old feud by calling Robbie Williams an "idiot" and a "clown". On the same night that Gallagher's band, Beady Eye, played the 1,500-capacity Ritz in Manchester, the former Oasis frontman branded the Take That singer an "idiot" and claimed that "any f-----g clown" could play at Manchester City's 60,000 seat Etihad Stadium, where Williams has just performed the second of four sold out shows. Will.i.am v Pharrell Williams In 2012, the musician Will.i.am became engaged in a legal dispute with the producer and singer Pharrell Williams over the latter's use of the words "I am". The name "will.i.am" is registered as a trademark, as are the words "I AM", and Will.i.am claimed that the name of Williams' creative venture "i am OTHER" infringed on his trademark. The pair reached a settlement in 2014. Steve Wozniak v Ashton Kutcher In August 2013, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak criticised Ashton Kutcher's portrayal of the late Apple founder Steve Jobs in the biopic Jobs. "I suspect a lot of what was wrong with the film came from Ashton's own image of Jobs," said Wozniak. In repsonse, Kutcher claimed that Wozniak was "extremely unavailable" during the making of the film, and that he was "being paid by another movie studio to help support their Steve Jobs film" (Steve Jobs, a film by Danny Boyle was released in 2015). "These [statements] are examples of Ashton still being in character," Wozniak retaliated. " I was turned off by the 'Jobs' script. But I still hoped for a great movie." Russell Brand v Charles Moore Comedian Russell Brand and author and former Telegraph editor Charles Moore were both receiving GQ awards in September 2013. Moore was so incensed by the BBC's handling of the broadcasting of the obscene telephone call that Brand and Jonathan Ross made to the elderly Andrew Sachs in 2008 that he resolved to pay his licence fee to Help the Aged rather than the BBC until it dispensed with the services of the two men. Brand thus displayed a peculiar lack of self-awareness when he alluded to Nazi persecution at the GQ event, given what Sachs's own forbears had endured. Moore drily noted that what Brand and Ross had later subjected Sachs to in their "disgusting" call also amounted to persecution. "I am not convinced that Mr Brand was ever really sorry at all for what he did," Moore said. Sylvester Stallone v Bruce Willis In 2013, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis (seen here in happier times,) fell out after their time together as actors in The Expendables films. Stallone greeted the news that Willis had been replaced in The Expendables 3 by Star Wars and Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford with unashamed delight. Writing on Twitter, he said: "WILLIS OUT ... HARRISON FORD IN !!!! GREAT NEWS !!!!! Been waiting years for this!!!!" Just five minutes later, he then launched his attack, which his PR has confirmed was aimed at Willis: "GREEDY AND LAZY ...... A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE." Cher v Miley Cyrus In 2013, Cher, then 67, opined that she "didn't like" Miley Cyrus's performance at the VMAs, which featured provocative dance moves, known as "twerking" and skimpy outfits. "I didn't think it was her best effort", Cher said. "I thought she really needed to go back and rethink it. I just didn't think it was up to the standards that I would have liked to see professionally." Jimmy Kimmel v Kanye West Jimmy Kimmel aired a skit on his show in Septembe 2013r in which a child re-enacted an interview West gave to the BBC. But it apparently provoked an irate call from West half an hour before the show, according to Kimmel. "He is very angry because of a bit we aired this week," Kimmel said, adding that it was "pretty innocuous". According to Kimmel, West told him to make a public apology and said Kimmel's life would be "much better" if he did so. West then took to Twitter barraging Kimmel with a series of posts in which he insulted the comedian, said his ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman was funnier than him, and appeared to hit out at paparazzi. "YOU CAN'T PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES. YOUR FACE LOOKS CRAZY ... IS THAT FUNNY? ... OR IF I HAD A KID SAY IT WOULD IT BE FUNNY???", one Tweet read. Jeremy Paxman v Russell Brand In 2013, presenter Jeremy Paxman berated comedian Russell Brand in a Newsnight interview for opting out of the democratic process. Brand, 38, told Paxman, 63, that he had never voted because of "absolute indifference and weariness and exhaustion from the lies, treachery and deceit of the political class". Paxman responded: "If you can't be a**** to vote, why should we be a**** to listen to your political point of view?" George Clooney v Russell Crowe In November 2013, Russell Crowe sent George Clooney a book of poetry to try to end a five-year feud that started with Crowe claiming Clooney was "a sell-out" for doing TV commericals. (Clooney had responded: "Who the f--- does this guy think he is? He's a Frank Sinatra wannabe.") Clooney wasn't too impressed by CRowe's attempts to make amends, stating: "He sent me a book off poetry for insulting the s--- out of me." 100 great jokes by 100 comedians John Cleese v Piers Morgan John Cleese has admitted he enjoyed his Twitter spat with Piers Morgan during which he told the journalist he had not been talented "for a lifetime". The Monty Python star described the online war of words, which broke out following an article Morgan wrote, as "a little bit of fencing", and said he now thinks of it as "just a little matter of an entertainment". Former Daily Mirror editor Morgan wrote a column for the Mail on Sunday accusing Cleese of having become "a whining pub bore", and a Twitter exchange ensued. Cleese, who described Morgan as "a real third rater" and claimed at one point to have forgotten the television presenter's name, told BBC Radio Five Live that the exchange was "enjoyable". The story goes that Jack Whitehall met Sylvester Stallone at the Governers Ball, after the 2016 Oscars. According to the British comedian, he comforted the Rocky star after he had lost out on his Best Supporting Actor nomination to Mark Rylance, whose resume Whitehall also detailed to Stallone. However, when tabloid reports of such an event (including the words "I had to console him about missing out on his Oscar") emerged, Stallone wasn't happy. He posted on Twitter: "I NEVER met this young man Pity it has to be under these circumstances", and then on Instagram: "I was very proud of my nomination, worked hard for it, so why would anybody create insulting lies that only distort wonderful memories. Why do it?" Whitehall was very relaxed about the situation, saying: "Sad that Sly doesn't remember meeting me. Clearly I made very little impression on him. The same thing happened with Eamon Holmes at the TV Choice Awards."

$badmarketing = (Paper Mag > Electronic Mag) ? yes : no;
I have no problem with a digital edition, in fact I welcome one, but you guys are really handling this in a fantastically stupid way.
First, this smacks of desperation. If you're going to have to go digital or go belly-up, why not say so. I could pity you for ganking my paper subscription if the alternative is to have none at all.
Second, people paid for a paper mag subscription. Now you're changing the terms. Yet I still hear no offer from LJ to reimburse the remainder of peoples subscriptions since the terms have drastically changed. I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that's as clear a case of bait and switch as I've ever seen.
Finally, what really are we gaining from this? We can't line our rat's cage with pdfs, or (maybe) hand our copy to a friend when we're done. They're not so good on the crapper either, as the other fellow so eloquently pointed out.
Total fail on the delivery of this probably mostly unwelcome news. If you guys need a marketing consultant this badly, you have my email. For the sake of all who love this rag, get someone with a clue about how to treat customers before you toss out the next surprise.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Archaeologists are attempting to uncover the medieval wing of one of Sussex's grandest country houses.
The first ever serious dig at Petworth House has already uncovered what experts believe to be a 16th century banqueting hall built by Henry VIII.
They now hope to unearth the former great hall and the Earl of Northumberland's medieval stables – said to be the finest in the south of England.
Tom Dommett, who is leading the dig, described the project as both "exciting" and "ambitious".
He said: "This is the first serious archaeological investigation to ever take place in Petworth Park, which has been a dominant feature of the Petworth landscape for nearly 1,000 years.
"Today people see gentle rolling slopes, tranquil lakes and grand vistas, but 300 years ago, it was completely different. There were vast formal gardens and avenues, parterres and greenhouses, rampart terraces, and ornamental ponds."
However, back in the 14th century it was a grand medieval manor house.
The team has used evidence from historical maps, paintings and illustrations along with geophysical surveys to discover the possible remains of the former building.
Built in the 14th century, it is said to have housed a great hall for hosting important guests from across Europe.
Further additions came over the following centuries with a banqueting house built by Henry VIII for entertaining.
However, with vast developments, older parts of the house fell into disrepair and eventually disappeared.
Now after a year of research and excavations, the team is inviting members of the public to join them to discover some of their finds.
An event will be held across the weekend where visitors can inspect some of the finds, enjoy a living history exhibition and join an archaeology trail around the grounds.
Mr Dommett added: "We're really keen to open it up to our visitors, who can watch us quite literally unearth the history of the park.
"The North Wing was built in the 14th century and is supposed to have housed a Great Hall, which was further extended in the 17th century.
"We want people of all ages to come and see the trenches, handle some of the artefacts and piece together the story of the park on our archaeological trail."

All-in-one Enterprise Social and Collaborative Document Sharing
Jahia Wise offers all the most popular features when talking about social and collaborative document sharing for a fraction of the cost charged by proprietary vendors, with no need for costly integration and maintenance. And it's ready-to-deploy.
The next level of document sharing
Jahia Wise stems from a widely shared customers' need: a smart, slick and easy way to share documents and collaborate.
Jahia Wise brings this common need of sharing and managing documents in organizations to the next level with additional features:
- Document sharing features coming with versioning, lock-in /lock-out, permissions, mass import, drag & drop import, gallery display etc.
- Social and collaboration features required by today's projects: comments, task assignation, auto-tagging, collections, validation workflow, discussions, vote, wiki, blogs, notifications etc.
- Web content clipping / information sourcing capabilities: project teams can now centralize any type of data, and avoid uncontrolled information silos.
- Integration of emails as an easy and natural way of feeding-in information to the projects' document spaces. This integration also allows the synchronization of email discussions with the collaborative work carried out in Jahia Wise.
- More on Key features here.
How does Jahia Wise work?
Jahia Wise illustrates the power and modularity of the Jahia Content Platform: it has been built with Jahia Studio, the first free and visual user experience builder of the market, available to all Jahia customers. Jahia Wise is a ready to deploy application that can work standalone or together with other existing Jahia xCM web projects and finally unifies sharing and publishing documents from one solution to the others.
A subscription based - enterprise solution, built with new open source modules
Jahia Wise is an Enterprise solution that has been built with new open source modules into a brand new ready-to-deploy application available through subscriptions. Our Community users do have access to all these modules and tools to build their own document sharing solution on top of the Jahia Content Platform or save time and money by using the Enterprise Wise distribution.
Pricing of Jahia Wise
Jahia Wise is available through subscriptions, starting at $4,990 per year and JVM. More information about Enterprise Jahia subscriptions here.

The Salem junior Greyhounds opened their 2004 football season with a long road trip to Marked Tree to scrap with the junior Indians.
Thanks in part to Marked Tree's John Ed Turpin, the junior Hounds didn't much enjoy their trip to Poinsett County.
Turpin rushed for 166 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the junior Indians knocked off Salem 38-6 in conference action.
Marked Tree sprinted out to a 38-0 lead before the junior Greyhounds managed to advance the scoreboard.
Salem's Blake Hurst broke loose for a 45-yard TD scamper with 38 seconds left in the game to keep the junior Greyhounds from being blanked.

A trio of Big Board companies in different industries and all yielding 3% or better enriched their dividends last week.
International forest-products concern Rayonier ryn -0.5640612409347301% Rayonier Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD24.68 -0.14 -0.5640612409347301% /Date(1461963723860-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 312059 AFTER HOURS USD24.68 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6384 P/E Ratio 66.70270270270271 Market Cap 3029050519.63287 Dividend Yield 4.051863857374392% Rev. per Employee 1676540 More quote details and news » (ticker: RYN) boosted its quarterly common payout 10%, to 44 cents a share from 40 cents, for a 3.7% yield. That's the real-estate investment trust's eighth increase in the past 10 years. Dividends were initiated in 1994, when Rayonier was spun off by ITT.
The shares set a 52-week high Thursday of $47.78. The stock split 3-for-2 a year ago.
CEO Paul Boynton said the hike "reflects our strong financial position and the continuing confidence we have in our businesses' ability to generate increasing cash flows." Rayonier owns, leases, or manages 2.7 million acres of timber and land in the U.S. and New Zealand.
In Deerfield, Ill., medical-products conglomerate Baxter International BAX -0.0903750564844103% Baxter International Inc.

That makes for a 3.1% yield on the shares, which trade just a couple points under their $60.54 52-week high.
Baxter also approved a stock-buyback authorization of up to $2 billion of its common. That's atop $450 million remaining under a previous program.
Over the past five years, Baxter has generated an average of $2.7 billion in cash flow annually and has returned more than $11.4 billion to investors via dividends and stock repurchases.
CEO Robert Hombach said that "with our strong balance sheet and sustained ability to generate significant cash flow, our company continues to have flexibility to invest in opportunities that will enhance long-term growth and create value for our shareholders." Payouts, ongoing since 1934, have been climbing steadily since February 2007.
Yielding just about 3%, Crane CR -0.5369608018614641% Crane Co.

A diversified manufacturer of highly-engineered industrial products, Crane has increased its quarterly for three years in a row. Uninterrupted payouts date back to 1939.
Second-quarter net climbed 26% from the level a year earlier, to $1.07 a share (96 cents, excluding special items, for a 13% gain). Sales rose 4%. The stock trades around $40.
ENERGY MASTER LIMITED partnerships are widely known for supplying generous dividends and yields. And at least three put more punch in their payouts last week.
Yielding 5.9% with its new dividend, Williams Partners WPZ 2.788167290037402% Williams Partners L.P. U.S.: NYSE USD30.23 0.82 2.788167290037402% /Date(1461963763800-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2517683 AFTER HOURS USD29.837 -0.393 -1.3000330797221302% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 39290 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 18239240521.0624 Dividend Yield 11.247105524313596% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (WPZ) raised its quarterly to 79.25 cents per unit from 77.75 cents. Citicorp rates Williams Buy and says that recent weakness in the stock (because earnings missed their mark) is a buying opportunity. Citi's price target is $64. The stock is currently $54.

A cheeky Part 2 from the shirtless pool promise of Part 1, and the second-laziest post I've done in a while. The good thing is that new stuff is on the way, and the promotional push and hype is about to engulf all my outlets. You have been warned. Enjoy the next few days of relative quiet.
Porn This Way
This is not technically a Hunk of the Day post, as we've already done that for today. Instead, it's just a weekend-ender gratuitous entry honoring adult film star Ashton Harvey. (That's the adult term for gay porn star, which is preferable to my ears, but Sunday night is traditionally for family fare so let's keep it at least to the PG-13 level.) Mr. Harvey needs a tall stiff cocktail named after him, and I'm not talking Wallbanger. Anyway, Happy Sunday!
World Naked Gardening Day
How such a thing as 'World Naked Gardening Day' came into existence is baffling to me (dirt and thorns and ticks don't seem like a natural match for nakedness) but given what I've done thus far on this website, how could I not participate? Before I get nude and start pushing around a wheelbarrow, however, I'd like to point out that gardening is a lifelong passion of mine that I take very seriously.
This week began my spring-time clean-up and garden prep. It's an arduous process that takes several days, and it takes a lot of physical exertion (as my back will attest) and ruthless mental dedication, as it's basically just hours of raking up debris and getting it into about 50 large lawn bags then hauling them out to the curb. After that, hundreds of pounds of manure need to be added to the soil around the plants who need a little boost. All of that then must be covered with healthy few inches of mulch. Then there's the ruthless pruning of trees and shrubs, and the thinning out of overgrown patches of plants, or the replanting of those items that got lost in this wild winter. In other words, gardening is serious work. It's peaceful work too, and a Zen-like calm settles on me every time I'm in that zone.
The results are more than worth it, and by results I don't just mean the beauty of the garden, but the peace and contentment the whole process bestows upon those who appreciate it. Such peace may be found in the cultivation of an ostrich fern, or the maintenance of a sweet woodruff patch. Contentment can be culled from the premiere of the peony parade and the delicate shading of the celadon poppy. The subtle shifting hues of a hydrangea and the hot fiery blooms of a prickly pear contrast nicely, while some foliage is just as fine as a fancy butterfly-luring flower. Despite all of that, and my self-taught wealth of gardening knowledge, you probably just came to see some nude gardening, so in the name of World Naked Gardening Day, have at it (you twisted perverted fucks).
PS – How many double-entendres can you dig up in honor of the day? Plow this!
Returning to the Floating World
I must say I find it hard to understand how any man who values his self-respect would wish for long to avoid responsibility for his past deeds; it may not always be an easy thing, but there is certainly a satisfaction and dignity to be gained in coming to term with the mistakes one has made in the course of one's life. In any case, there is surely no great shame in mistakes made in the best of faith. It is surely a thing far more shameful to be unable or unwilling to acknowledge them." ~ Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World
For indeed, a man who aspires to rise above the mediocre, to be something more than ordinary, surely deserves admiration, even if in the end he fails and loses a fortune on account of his ambitions… if one has failed only where others have not had the courage or will to try, there is a consolation – indeed, a deep satisfaction – to be gained from this observation when looking back over one's life. ~ Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World
I suspect the reason I couldn't celebrate the floating world was that I couldn't bring myself to believe in its worth. Young men are often guilt-ridden about pleasure, and I suppose I was no different. I suppose I thought that to pass away one's time in such places, to spend one's skills celebrating things so intangible and transient, I suppose I thought it was all rather wasteful, all rather decadent. It's hard to appreciate the beauty of a world when one doubts its very validity…
But I've long since lost all such doubts… When I am an old man, when I look back over my life and see I have devoted it to the task of capturing the unique beauty of that world, I believe I will be well satisfied. And no man will make me believe I've wasted my time. ~ Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World
I have learnt many things over these past years. I have learnt much in contemplating the world of pleasure, and recognizing its fragile beauty. But I now feel it is time for me to progress to other things… it is my belief that in such troubled times as these, artists must learn to value something more tangible than those pleasurable things that disappear with the morning light. It is not necessary that artists always occupy a decadent and enclosed world. My conscience… tells me that I cannot remain forever an artist of the floating world. ~ Kazuo Ishiguro, An Artist of the Floating World
Hunk of the Day: Jakub Stefano
Hailing from the Czech Republic, this male model is our Hunk of the Day. Jakub Stefano has worked with such photographic luminaries as Lewis Payton, Mark Lynch and Dylan Rosser. Those guys know how to capture beauty, and Mr. Stefano knows how to give good face. And good ass, as these pictures will attest.
This post continues a string of male model Hunks, starting with this guy, and most recently this guy. Who do you want to see next? Requests are always entertained.
Austin Armacost in Attitude (& 1 Hot Ass)
While Austin Armacost has never needed all that much nudging when it comes to showing off his ample assets, leave it to Attitude magazine to make it even sexier. Here are a few shots from his latest spread.
Hunk of the Day: Stepan Pereverzev
Russian male model Stepan Pereverzev is one hunky glass of vodka. Looking like he packs more wallop than a Moscow Mule, Pereverzev offers and edgier glimpse of the naughty moments that happen off the runway. I don't know what it's like to have a body with that much muscle on it, and I never will. Instead, I'm just going to admire the handiwork of a guy who puts the work and the effort into physical perfection.
Hunk of the Day: Laurence Hulse
Good sportsmen in Europe get naked far more freely than their American counterparts. This conservative country could use such unfettered matter-of-fact dealings with nudity. The Warwick Rowers are famous for their naked calendar, originally created in an effort to raise money for their club, but then it turned into something with far greater meaning, as they joined the brigade against homophobia as Sport Allies. This is the future, and a powerful testament to where the world has been headed for some time.
One of the standouts on the team, at least from the photos, is Laurence Hulse, who is now being honored as Hunk of the Day. Mr. Hulse has gone on to do several photo shoots since then. A naked calendar can do wonders for expanding one's career outlook. No doubt he has a few team-mates who will soon join him in such a vaunted category – we're always on the lookout for fresh hunks.
50 Shades of Male Nudity
Maybe it doesn't quite add up to fifty, but there are at least five nude male celebrities in this post, and that's to count for something. Kicking it off is Channing Tatum, who will be appearing in the sexy sequel to 'Magic Mike' as discussed here. That's fairly safe fare for summer, but Mr. Tatum provides some badly-needed heat for winter fun right now, particularly in the trio of GIFs below. Scroll down… (and keep your eyes peeled for Matt Bomer in the background.)
Another favorite who's appeared on this blog many times over is Dan Osborne. From his cute diving stint with Tom Daley to his steady flow of underwear pictorials, Mr. Osborne provides regular fodder for eager eyes. Here's a shot from his latest Attitude photo shoot.
One more across-the-pond hottie comes in the form of Harry Judd from the band McFly. Clearly the most fit of that group of lads, Mr. Judd also likes to engage in some naked horseplay. Can't fault the man for that.
Speaking of naked horseplay, here is Jake Gyllenhaal in his nude glory. Well, almost nude, as his hand protects what little modesty is left.
Last but most certainly not least is Jamie Dornan, Mr. Fifty Shades himself. He got naked before that movie (as can be seen in the last shot here) and he got naked in it (as can be seen in the next to last shot). There are some full-frontal nudes of Mr. Dornan floating around elsewhere, but you won't find them here. (Unless they slipped by me in the Archives, but you'll have to dig deep. Very deep.)
Will the Real Alan Ilagan Please Stand Up?
"Somewhere, right at the bottom of one's own being, one generally does know where one should go and what one should do. But there are times when the clown we call "I" behaves in such a distracting fashion that the inner voice cannot make its presence felt."
― C.G. Jung
There's nothing like an imposter to make you take a look at yourself and how ridiculous you might actually be. Such was the case when a fake Twitter Alan Ilagan cropped up on my feed the other day. At first, I was flattered and amused – the mark of any supposedly-vain soul – and more than a little curious. Who would dare try to be me? More importantly, who might want to?
The person behind the account certainly seemed to have a grasp on who I was, at least of the caricature I tend to portray when online. It got me to dwelling a bit on the online personae we create for ourselves. The internet entity that you know as Alan Ilagan – and that I've worked rather doggedly hard on crafting as Alan Ilagan – has little resemblance to the scared little boy that I hide in the deep protected fathoms of my heart. I don't show that guy to the world because he can't handle the evils of everything on the internet. The anonymous trolls that social media has brought forth from the darkest pools of hatred would have a field day if I didn't protect myself with a coat of aloof armor, and an arsenal of sarcasm that puts most of any ignorant attackers to bed before they know they've been tucked in.
"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." ― C.G. Jung
Yet as I read some of the tweets from the fake "Real Alan Ilagan" I was struck by how easily some of them might have slipped out of my mouth. How far had I strayed from the real me when engaging on FaceBook and Twitter, and, to a lesser extent as I'm a little more honest in this space, right here on this blog? As I examined my own ridiculousness I had to own up to a few things – the first of which was how often I am just that – utterly ridiculous. And I'm ok with that. Luckily, much of it is an exaggeration of myself, done mainly for entertainment – yours and mine.
An examination of our selfie-obsessed selves, James Franco-style, always runs the risk of producing accusations of vanity and hubris – yet that is precisely the result of today's technology and the online world, where the ease of a camera-phone and the ability to share images with the entire planet can make us all "celebrities" in a certain respect. The likes and the views and the visitors, the easy access to instant love and mass adoration, like waves of applause washing over Eve Harrington – it all feels so seductive, and it's easy to get photoshopped up into believing all of this is real. Which brings me back to internet impostors.
There's always someone behind you. Sometimes they want to help, sometimes they want to hurt, sometimes they want to play, and sometimes that want to push. Sometimes it's you, and sometimes it's me, and sometimes it's someone we've never even met.
You can pretend to be real, but do you even exist? There's only one way to show yourself to the world, and you can't do it by revealing yourself or your face or even by taking off all your clothes. You can only do it by revealing your heart.
"Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life…If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature…Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life."
― C.G. Jung
Hunk of the Day: Seth Fornea
Ginger fans rejoice: the Hunk of the Day is Seth Fornea, and it doesn't get much red-hotter than this. Mr. Fornea was featured here before in a Gratuitous Ginger post, egregiously unbilled, so this is his proper Hunk crowning and a long-deserved feature. He's coming back to local club Rocks and is sure to spruce up the season with his ginger-hotness.
Dan Osborne Gets Naked, W/ Supporting Bits by Tom Daley & Zac Efron
The Great Gratuitous Sunday Morning Post. It's a bit of a tradition here, when all you folks who can't access this supposedly NSFW site from work have a moment to catch up on all the fun things you missed during the weekdays. This post should be no exception, featuring Dan Osborne in his preferred state of garb: naked, nude, and grabbing his junk. These latest photos were from a dare that he jump in the pool naked. Daring indeed. I would NEVER…
The rest of the post is filled out, and deliciously at that, by the shirtless and Speedo-clad likes of Zac Efron and Tom Daley. Mr. Efron likes to do a lot of things shirtless, and I don't think Tom Daley does anything out of his Speedo – well, except for showering in the altogether.
There, that about sums up the Sunday morning nude male post. Let's see what the afternoon brings…
Hunk of the Day: Michael Hoffman
Much ado has been made over this gentleman's recent 'leaking' (literally) of several racy videos. Apparently he's a popular Instagram bodybuilder who up until now had only teased at nudity. Of course, I only heard about him when his videos hit the web and the nudity embargo was broken, so here is Hunk of the Day Michael Hoffman. Whether or not the leaking was intentional (a properly-timed sex tape can do wonders for the career) or accidental, there's nothing much to be ashamed about with a figure like that of Mr. Hoffman. Though I won't show you all the bits and explosions that are already out there, this should give you a indication of why he's been so popular.
In our selfie-obsessed day and age, where exhibitionism is rampant, you can't fault Mr. Hoffman for putting it all out there. For every exhibitionist willing to be brave, there are a hundred trolls hidden behind anonymous names and no-faces waiting to rip us to shreds. So I say to Mr. Hoffman, rock on, and rock out…
UPDATE: Michael Hoffman wants the world to know he is not gay, despite what those videos show. As is often the case, it's so much better when they don't speak.
Orlando Bloom Gets Naked
While he has yet to be named an official Hunk of the Day, Orlando Bloom gets his first nude feature in this post. (Perhaps we're doing a six-degrees-of-sexiness curve, as Mr. Bloom co-starred with today's Hunk Brad Pitt in 'Troy.') While I didn't quite get the attraction during Bloom's elvish (elfin?) stint in 'The Lord of the Rings' (long blond hair and pointy ears?) I came around in his 'Pirates of the Caribbean' turn. Sometimes I prefer brunettes to blondes. Here are some stills and GIFs from his new movie, in which he appears to take on a home invader dressed in nothing but his tattoos. Regardless of hair color, the best Orlando Bloom is a nude Orlando Bloom.
Steve Grand Gets Nude, Jumps in Lake
For his twist on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Steve Grand gets naked and jumps into the nearest lake. Here's his Instagram pic of the gratuitous goings-on. Leave it to Mr. Grand to trump us all with nothing but that itsy-bitsy towel. Don't forget to check out his Hunk of the Day post… and seek out some hidden gems in the archives if you are so delighted.
UPDATE: Here is the video.

Respond to Review of Salt n' Pepper
by kayellebee
Review: There are plenty of veg options, which is nice, but it took sooo long to get our food. When it finally came, it was not very good. I expected more food for the $ and the wait. Then the waitress messed up our check and over-charged us. After explaining it to her twice, she finally fixed it. The atmosphere is that of a truck stop, but the location is nice if you're a vegan in the French Quarter. Give it a shot, everyone else seems to love it.
