What if How I Met Your Mother had ended with a less bittersweet, albeit more predictable ending? A fan did a bit of editing to show us what it would look like, and it's as magical and wonderful as some of us might have hoped.
To say that some people didn't like the How I Met Your Mother finale might be an understatement. It's never easy to accurately determine exactly how divided people are over something like this, considering the angry people may very well be
How I Met Your Mother aired its finale tonight, and if you haven't seen it yet, stop reading now! Major spoilers ahead. After nine seasons, How I Met Your Mother was apparently not about how Ted met his kids' mother, but rather...
CBS is preparing us for the conclusion of How I Met Your Mother with nostalgic montage-y videos that fondly look back to the highlights of this long-running sitcom.
We still have a couple of episodes left before How I Met Your Mother wraps up. And by a couple, I mean exactly two. There's "Gary Blauman," which airs this Monday (March 17) and then "The End of the Aisle," which is set for March 24
Everyone seems to have an opinion and/or theory as to the how and the why Ted is telling his kids an incredibly drawn-out and long-winded version of How I Met Your Mother. Is it just Ted being Ted, or something far more nefarious? Namely: is this all a backwards way of telling us The Mother is dead? Not so, if this interview with the titular character (played by Cristin Milioti) is to be believed.
Valentine's Day isn't for everyone. Whether youre single, sick of it all, or somewhere in between, finding a way to distract yourself on the overtly lovey-dovey day is a necessity. But were not proponents of the mentality that if youre not in love you must be miserable and bitter instead. Its silly, and stupid, and a waste of everyones time. Plus what sort of monster would encourage you to be unhappy? (Spoiler Alert: not me.)
After watching this week's 200th episode of How I Met Your Mother, I'm actually starting to side with the people who were hoping the planned spinoff pilot would center on Cristin Milioti's "Mother" character's side of the story. While continuity and a mildly dated timeline would be obstacles, Milioti's episode demonstrate just how perfect she'd be as a lead character in a comedy.
If ever there was a make-or-break episode of How I Met Your Mother, it was last night's "How Your Mother Met Me," the episode that gave us a proper introduction to the titular mother. Oh, sure, Cristin Milioti has appeared in the series numerous times since she was first introduced to us at the end of last season, but the 200th episode flipped things around, focusing almost entirely on the Mother...
With How I Met Your Mother set to wrap up this year, fans of the CBS comedy have been left to wonder when and how Marshall would administer the two remaining slaps he owes Barney, left over from a slap bet he made with him years ago. The gag has spanned seasons, every once in a while resurfacing as Marshall delivers one more epic slap usually when Barneys not expecting it.
How I Met Your Mothers end is approaching. That in itself isnt news, as weve known for some time that the ninth season would be its last, but CBS has announced the date of the planned one-hour series finale for the comedy, which is set for late March. We also have some spoilery information about a certain How I Met Your Mother ongoing story-arc that will be resolved before this comedy wraps up for good.
The clip reveals the twist during last nights episode of How I Met Your Mother, when Robin had reached the end of her rope and Barney admitted that sometimes he was going to have to lie to her. Or rather, that he would need to bamboozle her every once in a while. Robins Canadian-ness has been the source of many a joke on How I Met Your Mother...
How I Met Your Mothers Season 9 eventful wedding weekend has so far managed to keep audiences interested and tie up a lot of loose ends. However, the long-awaited mother has been kept fairly under wraps, popping up in the plot only on occasion, and mostly through time-jumping sequences. Regardless, all of that is about to change, thanks to the comedys very special 200th episode.
Whether or not youre a fan of the idea of How I Met Your Mother being spun off, it seems CBS is optimistic about the project as theyre moving forward with it. Its currently titled How I Met Your Dad, and the latest update is that CBS has given the comedy a pilot-production commitment.
Forget Slapsgiving, this year How I Met Your Mother offers us Bedtime Stories, a rhyming episode told in three tales, which will air the Monday before Thanksgiving (November 25). An all-rhyming episode of How I Met Your Mother? It could be Slap-bet/Robin Sparkles-amazing or well, it could be annoying by the end of the first act. The jurys still out, but lets stay optimistic here.

"Lawrence" Top 5 Page for this destination Lawrence by jayhawk2000
Lawrence Travel Guide: 188 reviews and 398 photos
With its steep hills, colorful Victorian houses, stately churches and tree-lined streets, Lawrence seems like a misplaced and overgrown New England village.
The similarities are not accidental. The city was founded by abolitionists (people who opposed slavery) who came from Massachusetts in the years before the American Civil War when the legality of slavery in the Kansas Territory was of nationwide concern.
Lawrence was the unofficial Free State Capital, an equal rights bastion in the territory. Thanks in large part to the efforts of the locals, Kansas entered the Union as a free state in 1861 a few months before the Civil War. The city paid an awful price for this victory when a band of about 500 raiders, led by rebel leader William Quantrill, stormed Lawrence in 1863. Over 150 men and boys of Lawrence were killed in the Civil War's worst civilian massacre. This atrocity was dramatised in the film Ride With the Devil.
The settlers, bouyed by a national outpouring of sympathy and charity, rebuilt and rebounded. They founded the University of Kansas (KU) atop the towering Mount Oread that overshadows the town, replacing a barricaded lookout post with a beautifully landscaped campus.
Lawrence has another university that is every bit as historical. Haskell Indian Nations University provides free higher education to about 1000 Native Americans from over 150 tribes.
Modern Lawrence is a fast-growing city of 80,000 people that has for its symbol the phoenix, the mythical creature reborn from the flames of its death. It remains a youthful, multicultural, free-spirited place today thanks to about 25,000 university students and professors.
The main photo is taken from atop Mount Oread, home to the university. What I love about this view (aside from the lush fall foliage) is that the town below is completely hidden by the trees!
One of America's 'Distinctive Destinations' (National Trust for Historic Preservation);
'The nicest city in Kansas' which is home to an 'active downtown, perhaps one of the country's nicest' (Lonely Planet USA guide);
In his book "The 100 Best Small Arts Towns in America" author John Villani ranks Lawrence in the top 15; the city has the 12th highest proportion of professional artists of any American city according to the National Endowment for the Arts;
One of America's National Poetry Landmarks as designated by the Academy of American Poets;
Lawrence is universally recognized as being one of the top college music towns in the country;
Clinton Lake is ranked among America's top 50 lakes by Boating World Magazine,
Golf Digest magazine has described Lawrence as one of the 'Best Little Golf Towns in America' and consistently ranks Alvamar golf course among the nation's 100 best public golf courses.
Lawrence was the birthplace of writer Langston Hughes whilst Beat poet William S Burroughs lived his last years here.
University of Kansas alumni include basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, Senator Bob Dole, astronomer Clyde Tombaugh (discover of Pluto), actors Mandy Patinkin and Paul Rudd, film maker Neil LaBute, TV journalist Bill Kurtis and playwright William Inge.
- Pros:an arts powerhouse, vibrant downtown, good food and beer
- Cons:suburbs and strip malls spreading like a rash on the outskirts
- In a nutshell:a mecca for firebrands & gourmands, athletes & aesthetes!

Imagine stumbling upon someone who has lived in Larryville...while looking for info for our upcoming trip to Malta.
Your page makes we want to go! Now I understand why my dad took eleven years to get his bachelor's and master's there.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Ad Astra per Aspera!
Great narrative Robert. I have to admit Lawrence is a nice little town - I went there to visit the Simons, they owned the newspaper there - maybe they still do.
Very thoroughly enjoyed this cool page. Went as a teenager, but didn't explore all the riches. Surprising and interesting! Thanks
Excellent page! Looks like a beautiful little town set in the middle of the woods!
LOVE the pic of the trees! :)) Really great.

Report: Marcus Spears re-signs with Cowboys
|07.29.11 at 4:14 pm ET
Perhaps an opening for the recently cut Ty Warren just closed.
The Cowboys signed defensive end Marcus Spears to a five-year deal worth $19.2 million, according to a tweet from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Spears had only 19 tackles and zero sacks in nine games for Dallas last season before missing the rest of the season with a torn calf. He had played in all 16 games for the Cowboys in the previous five seasons, his first five years in the league. (For more on Spears, check out Christopher Price's profile on him back when he was still a free agent.)
A Fort Worth Star-Telegram report had stated that Warren, a former Texas A&M and Bryan (Tx.) High School star, was interested in joining the Cowboys next season, although the re-signing of Spears may hurt the chances of that occurring as well as any potential Nnamdi Asomugha deal.

©2012-2016 TheLittlehoneybee
(( lol i was originaly going to draw out the guy...but i will do that later >w< oh yay i finaly got to draw nic upset...like very very mad. he is going to snap and it will be amazing blood bath..
oh the battel might be bloody...but thats kinda good for me UuU ))
oh the battel might be bloody...but thats kinda good for me UuU ))
You can't kill me I'm awesome!?
Dude...What have you done.... U made him mad...0.0 *hides under table* Somebody stop him... D,=
dude...ive never seen anyone so serious! (lol joker y so serious?) sanywho im just going to grab a bucket of popcorne my best friend Mac and watch the show, id help but...im not very good at fighting, or killing, or...ok jk im put up a pretty epic fight *grabs nearest sword to help*
you are so sexy!
(( haha music references X3))
all the angry feels... makes me squee at his angreh face...))
((wow. intense. He gets mad the same way Angelo gets mad!))
((Oh this is gonna get good *grabs the popcorn*))
Bit: Nic, calm down. Don't give him the pleasure...
*points his sword right at his neck*..unless you want to be next, you will stay, out..of my way
~He grinned evilly at the angry Bee and began to walk towards him~ Kill me? Goodness, whatever have I done? Did I not extend to you, an invitation for tea? Oh little morsel, I am hurt. ~He mockingly placed a clawed hand over his chest, as if wounded~
You SHUT YOUR MOUTH!! *he screams at him, and buzzes faster over to him and takes a fast swing at him with his sword, aiming for his chest*
(( so you know, i love you...i don't know if i made thsi clear but...my heart...you took it...its just...its yours now *dramatic wind blowing and hugs you* -w- ))
(( so you know, i love you...i don't know if i made thsi clear but...my heart...you took it...its just...its yours now *dramatic wind blowing and hugs you* -w- ))
~The blade cut right through him... literally. The top part of his body floated up, away from his body before connecting again, making him whole~ Oh my, how rude. No wonder you care for your lovely Princess so much. She is just as rude as you are. ~He laughed contemptuously~ But she quickly leanred when to hold her tongue in my presence...~
((XD how could I resist! I simply had to have it! ~your heart~--> <3))
((XD how could I resist! I simply had to have it! ~your heart~--> <3))
*growls at him a bit, still so much anger in his eyes, he continued to swing at him, slashing threw at him, it was like he didn't much care that it didn't seem to be doing much damange to the other, but he didn't much care, he was so full in anger, he was gonig to do anyhing and everything he can, to try his best to take him down. soon he takes a swing of his sword aiming for his head*
~It was so very enjoyable to see the bee so angry as he continued to strike out at him, each time his blade passing through him. His feeble attempts amused him so!~ Ahhh that anger... it is practically conssssuming you. My, that face of yours is simply terrifying. What would your Princess think to see you in ssssuch a state?? I dare say she would be horrified... she would look at you like a monster! Is that what you are, Buzzy Bee? Are you a monster?? ~So busy was he with his taunting of the Honeybee Prince, he nearly missed when his sword made straight for his head. A close call... too close a call for his comfort... he would need to be careful. This Bee was becoming increasingly fast. How delicious~
*He growls at him again angrily , each comment he made only fueled him more, and he no longer was thinking in a rational way, he pulls his blade back for a moment, only to reach out with his free hand and roughly grab a hold of the front of the others shirt, and then pushs him back, in a attempt to push him to the ground, holds his sword back and then quickly thrust it forward, once agein aiming for his head, wanting to jam his sword right into him*
~Oh what fun he was having! He could feel that anger in the Prince grow more and more and become darker and darker; the intent to kill was strong in this Bee. And what proof that was as he was grabbed. His pupils constricted from the surprise and from anger; how dare this puny Prince grab him thus! He hissed as he staggered backwards and grabbed onto his hand, stopping the Honeybee Princes' strike, but just barely~ Impudent morsel.... you dare touch me? I should kill you where you stand! No.... wait. Perhaps you should kill me instead... ~He smirked down at the Prince with disdain and delight at his devious little idea~ Yessss, go ahead. Kill me. So that your precious little Princess may stay locked away forever in my domain. You will never find her.... and she will whither away.... you will never see her lovely little face again. ~He lowered his voice an octave, locking eyes with the Prince~ Sssso go ahead... kill me. Ssseal her fate, like the monster you truly are. After all... that insatiable need to kill is far more important than she, is it not?
*His hand shook in his grip a bit, so badly did he just want to kill him, the feeling to do so was practicly over whelming to him, he looks at him with narrow eyes, and keeped still for a moment, but still keeped a good grip tightly on his shirt*..where...is she...tell me now..
((oh glob... Shit is about to go down! >w< ))
( lol so do i, hes so fun to draw, either angry or hurt XD)
(( He is just so adorible! And your a really talented artist
just thought id throw that out there ))
(( O.O my face))
((Ooooo somebody's mad!! XD))

Category archive: Pop music
Today I was out and about in the grim greyness of Winter London, with only very occasional patches of blue in the sky.
Had I had only these three photos in their original versions to go on, I might eventually have pieced together that David Bowie had died:
But I had already clocked this news from reading this posting at Mick Hartley's. Viewers who feel strongly that all commemorations of the recently deceased should be in good taste are urged not to click on the middle picture. Whether the original you get by clicking is "what he would have wanted", I do not know. One thing I know for sure is that it is not what I wanted. But it is what it is, and I had no other more suitable substitutes.
Later I took a more self-consciously commemorative photo to recognise Bowie's death:
I'm not sure that it makes perfect sense to wish that a dead rock star should "rest in peace", though. Surely at least the occasional burst of raucous rock and roll would also be in order. But, they only meant to say the right thing, and if not that, then what? I don't know.
My personal feeling about Bowie, as with many rock and rollers, was that I paid very little attention indeed to the words as anything other than an excuse to make a satisfying musical racket. Also costumes don't impress me, for better or for worse. I love the music of Abba, despite their preposterous outfits. And I love the Bowie tracks that I love, regardless of what "persona" he happened to be adopting at the time. It's the backing that I love, and Bowie was really good at making this happen interestingly, I think.
What did "Suffragette City" mean? I never bothered to find out and I probably never will, but I love the sound it makes. "When You're A Boy" made a bit more sense (to me), but it still came as a surprise (to me) when I saw a video of some women dancing along to it, who turned out all to be Bowie in drag. What was that about? Some sort of rumination on the socialised nature of sex-roles? Just a tease, to get the newspapers to denounce it and do the publicity for free? Probably the latter. Bowie was a dab hand at that.
More Dezeenery:
"Modern buildings, exemplified by the Eiffel Tower or the Golden Gate Bridge, are incredibly light and weight-efficient by virtue of their architectures," commented Bill Carter, manager of the Architected Materials Group at HRL.
"We are revolutionising lightweight materials by bringing this concept to the materials level and designing their architectures at the nano- and micro-scales," he added.
In the new film released by Boeing earlier this month, HRL research scientist Sophia Yang describes the metal as "the world's lightest material", and compares its 99.9 per cent air structure to the composition of human bones – rigid on the outside, but with an open cellular composition inside that keeps them lightweight.
All of which has obvious applications to airplanes:
Although the aerospace company hasn't announced definite plans to use the microlattice, the film suggests that Boeing has been investigating possible applications for the material in aeroplanes, where it could be used for wall or floor panels to save weight and make aircraft more fuel efficient.
And it surely won't stop with wall and floor panels.
These are the days of miracle and wonder.
Incoming from Michael Jennings:
Truly, that's a glorious headline.
Indeed it is:
Enrique Iglesias sliced his fingers on a drone during a concert
The drone was not hostile. It was part of the show, as was Iglesias attempting to handle it. It was just that it all went rather wrong:
"During the show a drone is used to get crowd shots and some nights Enrique grabs the drone to give the audience a point of view shot," the statement read. "Something went wrong and he had an accident. He decided to go on and continued playing for 30 minutes while the bleeding continued throughout the show."
Iglesias was semi-treated immediately after the accident.
Definitely a future trivia question in a pop quiz. But the worst that could have resulted from this would have been a couple of missing Iglesian fingers. This ("NY-bound plane nearly collides with drone, FAA says") could have ended far more grimly.
There will be many, many more drone dramas. They are colossally useful, and accidents buzzing around begging to happen.
Incoming from Michael J:
Katy Perry and dancing Nazi sharks. I guess this is why you stay up for the Superbowl.
Actually I missed KP's half time performance, but I have it on one of my various TV hard disks. I did stay up until the Superbowl ended, but I found myself only giving it about a third of my attention.
I did tune in at the end. That bizarre catch was fun. But the game ended the way it did because, at any rate in the opinion of all the commentators, the Seattle Seahawks made a horrible mistake. ("I cannot believe that call!") Truly great games are won because of something wonderful, not something horrible. In an ideal world, you want the losers thinking, not: "Oh Shit, What Were We Thinking?!?!? We'll have nightmares about that for the rest of our lives." You want them thinking: "Well, there was nothing we could have done about that." And the winners can spend the rest of their lives remembering that they did it, not that the other guys did it for them.
And then this morning there was this:
6 1 6 . 6 6 | . 4 W 4 W 1 | 1 . 1wd 6 6 6
That's the last three overs of the England Second Eleven's batting effort against the South Africa Second Eleven. I love how you can now follow these bizarrely obscure games. Ben Stokes, who has been having a rough time of it of late, is the one hitting six of those seven sixes at the end, and finishing on 151 not out (off 86 balls) , out of 378-6. Perhaps someone in the England First Eleven (recently crushed by Australia in a triangular warm-up tournament) will get hurt during the forthcoming World Cup, and Stokes will be inserted into their team. Such is the romance of sport.
Finally, here is a piece by cricket boffin Ed Smith, about how having fun is very important. Because of fun, Alexander Fleming invented penicillin, etc. But the real reason for fun is that having fun is fun. It's articles like this that cause insane parents to send their children to Fun Classes.
I shouldn't mock. It's a good piece. And fun is what this blog here is mostly about.
New Yorker classical music critic Alex Ross writes about how he still loves his classical CDs. Partly, he admits, it's nostalgia. CDs were such a huge leap forward when they first arrived that that moment of pure joy is very hard to turn your back on. I can still remember what my first CDs were: Nielsen 3, Brahms Sextets, Barenboim complete Beethoven piano sonatas, Strauss Alpine Symphony … Then there was the realisation that classical CDs would just get cheaper and cheaper and abundanter and abundanter, and then very soon the reality of that happy circumstance. Gramex Boss Hewland prices his stuff with more than half an eye to what Amazon charges, and it remains worthwhile to visit Gramex from time to time, even as all the other central London second hand CD emporia have faded away. He piles them high and sells them cheap.
Yes, the physical space occupied by CDs is a problem. Those piles can get very high. (Visit my home to see that problem on an enormous scale.) But, for me, the internet remains an unenticing place to purchase and play classical music. I have accumulated some virtual titles, as a result of buying them new on Amazon and having an additional "cloud" version of the same thing piped into my computer. But I wouldn't want to be without the CDs whose purchase provoked this additional twenty first century response.
I wrote recently about the value of keeping things separate, in my case my big home computer and my music making equipment. Even as my big home computer continues not to materialise, I still have music as good as ever, with no messing with some new kind of system to make it work.
But the central problem with classical music on the internet is that it remains, I believe, a mess. Pop music having overwhelmed classical music economically during the last hundred years or so, pop music is the big driver of internet music, and internet music is entirely organised for the benefit of pop fans, and their discreet tracks. We classicists are liable, as Alex Ross explains, to get lumbered with such things as John Eliot Gardiner's Beethoven Nine labelled as being the work of Lyuba Organosova, merely because she tops of the list of soloists for the final movement. The labelling of classical tracks on Amazon, where they offer you little snippets to listen to, is routinely done by naming the pieces with such things as their tempo or loudness markings, while neglecting to tell you what the piece is or what number movement it is. They just can't be bothered to get it right. Fair enough. I understand why they can't be bothered. We classicists aren't worth bothering with. Buy the CD or don't and consider yourself lucky, is the message. Until someone really big and well organised does bother about it, classical music on the internet will remain an off-putting afterthought, piggybacking systems devised for something else, rather than an enticing attraction.
When things get reissued, the labelling is liable to go completely to buggery. I, for instance, have that Barenboim set of Beethoven sonatas on EMI from way back, long before the internet, when it first came out as a set of CDs. Since then it has been reissued. So, when the internet tries to assist me in cataloguing recordings I myself have made of it onto my hard disc, it gets it all wrong. Useless.
Classical music on the internet will eventually get sorted out. And when it does, I will, if not dead, presumably hear about it from my classical music mags. A consensus will be announced, saying things like "Classical CDs really are pointless nowadays", and when you read such articles, it will, after about a decade of premature enthusiasm of the geek-bollocks sort ("all you have to do is blah blah dance on the head of twenty seven pins blah blah blah turn seventy three cartwheels blah blah blah what could be easier? … yes it might all crash but to solve that blah blah blah ..."), eventually become true. A actual, real world majority of Classical freaks will be using this single, best arrangement, and it will work, all the time, like email. Or not.
Even when such a new classical dispensation does emerge, I will probably not bother to switch. It's not just sunk costs; it will also be declining costs. As internet classical music becomes ever more appealing, so the price of mere CDs will sink and sink, until all of them can be purchased by me from Amazon, for £0.01 plus postage.
Meanwhile, I like that my CD filing system (aka my CD collection) is always accurate. When I dig up a CD that says it is so-and-so's recording of Brahms 4, it is, and then when I play it, it will be played in the right order. Notes will be to hand to read about this recording if I want to, conveniently stored right next to the CD.
I do have lots of virtual music, as an addendum to my CDs, like those files that Amazon spontaneously volunteers, and like stuff I have recorded from the radio. But the latter starts out being called something like DAB002, and I have never sorted out how to file it conveniently, or even to edit it into individual performances. Life is too short to be bothering. Why edit, when CDs are already edited. Virtual music is strictly an afterthought for me. Plastic music remains the thing itself, for me. And (see above) I don't believe I'm just being sentimental, even if I am somewhat.
Because he is definitely some personal kind (is there any other kind?) of libertarian (he and this guy are mates from Eton), I have instructed Google to send me emails about popular entertainer Frank Turner whenever anything is said about or by him, which is quite often because he really is very popular.
Here's an interview Turner recently did. They asked him how it feels to play in an "arena", i.e. a very, very big place.
It's a funny thing because I think whenever anyone starts out playing music you have a bucket list, or a ceiling of achievement that you might think of … and I'm really not trying to sound like Mr CoolHipsterPunkRock here, but the biggest bands I went to see when I was a kid played The Astoria, maybe Brixton Academy.
But then, straight after that, comes this:
I'd never been to an arena show before I played one.
How cool is that?
Which just goes to show that a precondition for being cool is not trying to be.
Shame about that Libertarian Party (see the "this guy" link above). That didn't turn out quite so cool.
I have my favourite bloggers. Mick Hartley, 6k and David Thompson being my most regular visitees. Two of these three (see those two links) often put up clips of their favourite bits of music, which I pretty much always ignore. Often, when confronted by other people's favourite musical snippets, I already have music playing, on my separate music box which is nothing to do with my computer and which therefore works when I most need it, which is when my computer is not working.
I tend not to do stick up bits of my favourite sort of music, which is classical. Partly I'm lazy and am not very clever about putting up Youtube clips here. But I could put up lots of links (one follows below) to classical stuff. But, I tend not to. There are enough reasons for people to strike this blog off their weekly-read list or whatever, without me putting them off even more with bits of classical music.
Now, first off, I have no problem with bloggers posting whatever they like. Their gaff their rules. I put whatever I like (as in like to put) here, and they can put whatever they like to put at their places. But, am I the only one who almost always ignores music at other people's blogs? Most of us like lots of random bits of pop music, old and new. In my case, there's also a ton of classical classics I like a lot, and others also have their favourite genres that they know all about, adore some of and like a huge proportion of.
I mention this because, entirely for my own selfish reasons, I particularly want to be able to remind myself of this clip of someone called Yulianna Avdeeva playing Chopin, particularly well to my ear. And maybe that's it. Bloggers use their blogs as personal filing cabinets, just as I do. They put up bits of music because they want always to be able to get hold of that bit quickly, and now they know they can. The readers can just wait for the next posting, and pick up where they left off. (That link, by the way, is to a bit of classical music at a blog that specialises in classical music. Quite often I do play the clips she features, because her kind of music is my kind of music. What I'm on about here is musical clips at blogs which are mostly about non-musical things.)
I think another point being made with these bits of music is the point I make with my occasional Friday cat blogging, which is that a lot of the appeal of blogging in particular and life in general is pure enjoyment. And music, perhaps more than any other art, and especially when no words are involved or in the case of the more upbeat and silly pop tracks, is all about pure enjoyment.
By the way, when I started writing this, I thought that David Thompson also featured occasional pop snippets. So I went looking for his latest pop snippet, but found that actually he does not do this, or not lately, hence no link to any music at his blog in the second sentence of this posting. But I did find this talk, by Greg Lukianoff, about the growing menace of the I-Am-Offended industry on American campuses. Quite long, but recommended.
SInce I started on this posting, Mick Hartley stuck up another pop clip. Again, I have not listened, and probably won't ever.
As my talk deadline (tomorrow evening) approaches, further insights keep rearranging themselves in my brain.
Not long ago, I read Alex Singleton's new book (he will be speaking at my home on Friday 31st of this month) about how to do P(ublic) R(elations). (Not so long before reading that book, I read another book in which PR meant, throughout, P(hoto) R(econnaissance). How the world keeps changing (see below).)
I don't recall any of the facts in this book of Alex's about how to do PR being any sort of shattering revelation. Rather was the book a relentless drip-drip-drip of what is called "commonsense", that is, of facts which might well be true, which would make sense if true, and which are, in the opinion of one who knows, actually true, as opposed to some other equally commonsensical notions about these or those circumstances, which, in the opinion of the same expert, are not true. Yet Alex telling me all the things he knows about how to do PR hardly begins to turn me into a PR expert, even though I am now at least passingly acquainted with every important principle, or even fact, that he has gathered up during his PR-ing over the last few years, and furthermore now know (or think I know) where to look to reacquaint myself with all these facts.
What distinguishes Alex from me as a PR-er is that he not only has his facts right, but that he also has them, as the saying goes, "at his fingertips". That is, he knows how to deploy the pertinent fact at the pertinent time, again and again. He makes connections between his facts, and knows, from experience, which fact matters at which particular moment. He has his facts properly arranged and cross-referenced, inside his head. He knows his way around his facts. All I have is an ill-remembered list of facts.
Trying to "make sense" (as I now am) of digital photography is like that. I already know everything about digital photography that I need to know, pretty much, as (I'm guessing) do you. The problem is making sense of what I know, of putting it all together and relating this fact to that fact, in a way that is slightly interesting and surprising, yet also true.
I now find myself thinking about digital photography as part of that wider historical change known by labels like: the Information Revolution. The Information Revolution kicked off, I would say, on May 11th 1844, when the first message between two different cities (Washington and Baltimore) was sent by electric telegraph. It is intrinsic to digital photography that it is photography that can be communicated.
The effect of the Information Revolution has been to unleash a succession of changes in the texture of everyday life, with each successive decade being defined by whatever stage the Information Revolution happened to have arrived at at that particular passing moment. Photography is both an example of such a change, and the means of recording and remembering and celebrating such changes. Photography remembers things like tablets and iPhones, just as in earlier times it remembered and still remembers big mobile phones, antique microphones, dance crazes, the social structure of successive pop combos, fashions in costume and make-up, and so forth and so on. (Photography also remembers successive iterations of the Industrial Revolution, like trains, cars, airplanes and wars.)
Photography remembers, among many other things, itself. Digital photography remembers, among even more other things, itself.

Saw mention of age in another thread, so I started thinking(Fixer and the Cerritos plane crash)! I walked into a store a while back. Had a few cents coming in chnage so I figured I'd get one of those little Reese's pb cups. I had like 17 cents and the dude said 25!
I said,"that's a friggin rip off". He looked at me kind of amazed at my words so I said," I remember when they were a penny". Then he said, you must be pretty friggin' old"! ...yeah I guess so!
When I started driving, gas went from 49 to 69 cents. Everybody was pissed!
43, will be 44 in May. Gina just turned 44 a couple of weeks ago. She likes 'em young!
Hot dam I'm getting old!

Welcome to our first postdraft mailbag. Some of you are concerned about Dez Bryant and whether Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton will stay on the team. We'll try to answer our first letter regarding the offensive line and safety spots, and we'll educate a guy from Fort Worth who thinks Tony Romo is the problem.
Q: Dez Bryant is a great wide receiver prospect. However, why would the Cowboys not select a highly regarded offensive tackle or cornerback/safety in the first round? The wide receiver position was already filled with very good players and was the lowest need after running back. -- JJ (Parts Unknown)
A: Well, JJ, the easy answer is Bryant was the eighth-ranked player on the Cowboys' draft board and the best wide receiver in the draft. Dallas has enough confidence in Doug Free being the left tackle of the future to not spend a first-round pick on a left tackle. As for safety, the two top safeties in the draft, as far as the Cowboys were concerned, were gone by the time they picked. So, seeing Bryant's availability pushed them to get him.
Q: How do you think the Cowboys' draft went? Do you think we have a shot to make it to the Super Bowl? -- Damian (Richmond, Va.)
A: Great draft. Mel Kiper gave the Cowboys a B-minus for two simple reasons: The Cowboys got the best wide receiver in the draft, Dez Bryant, and a highly regarded inside linebacker, Sean Lee, in the first two rounds. You can say the team is reaching with seventh-round pick Sean Lissemore as a defensive end, and you could also say that sixth-round pick Sam Young might not crack the starting lineup at tackle, but Bryant and Lee will make an impact. Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, the fourth-round pick, should help on special teams and could challenge for the starting free safety spot in the future. Dallas should be one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season, but with the third-hardest schedule in the league, it won't be easy. Dallas has some difficult road games this year, and that will play a role in its future.
Q: Do you think Dallas should/can sign Darren Sharper to fill the need at safety as a temporary solution? Or do you think they could pull a trade for an elite safety this year? -- Marty (Ramstein, Germany)
A: Jerry Jones said the team might fill the safety spot with a veteran player, such as Darren Sharper or maybe O.J. Atogwe. I've always thought Sharper would stay with the Saints, and Atogwe, while a restricted free agent, could command big money. However, Alan Ball is the projected starter at that position, at least for now, and Jones said he would like to see how Michael Hamlin plays, injury free. Patrick Watkins is another player on the roster who could challenge for that spot, but it appears doubtful.
Q: Do you think there is reporting bias concerning athletes of color? -- Ed (Arlington, Texas)
A: Interesting question. If you're referring to the Dez Bryant situation, there was plenty of misinformation out there. Jerry Jones even said it. People talked about Bryant's inability to make games and meetings on time. Well, that was his freshman year. There were all these reports that Bryant was a diva, but nobody came out with any specifics. Sometimes we as reporters have to do more reporting instead of just assuming things about any type of athlete. If we start doing that more, we provide you, the reader, with a more balanced, enjoyable story.
Q: Are the Cowboys pursuing or going to pursue Jammal Brown? Thanks. -- Mitch (Tulsa, Okla.)
A: I doubt it. Before the Cowboys would get after Brown hot and heavy, they might make a play to re-sign Flozell Adams, who was cut a few weeks ago. Dallas wants a veteran left tackle, but mainly as insurance in case Doug Free struggles in training camp.
Q: Ok, they have more than enough talent, so when are they going to get a real quarterback. You can have all the best receivers in the world and nobody to deliver the ball, so you're still at square one. -- Ron Campbell (Fort Worth)
A: Ron, I don't know who your health care provider is, but I think you should talk to someone. Ron, there is nothing wrong with Tony Romo. He's the franchise. The man. The ace. The top dog. Or is it top dawg? Whichever, Romo got better last year. He threw a career-low nine interceptions, set career highs in completions (347), attempts (550), yards (4,483) and quarterback rating (97.6). I'm not sure who you want at quarterback, but Romo isn't going anywhere.
Q: Do you think Patrick Crayton gets traded? If they don't trade either Roy Williams or Patrick, will they bench them and go with Dez Bryant or is Dez the third receiver? -- Barry (Arlington, Texas)
A: The Cowboys are shopping Crayton but aren't getting any nibbles. If Dallas had shopped him before the draft, teams were willing to deal. For now, I think Crayton will remain on the team unless he's cut. Williams isn't going anywhere, much like Tony Romo, because of the amount of money invested in him. He got $9.5 million in guaranteed money in the offseason. Bryant will challenge Crayton for the No. 3 spot and should win out. At some point, Bryant is the projected starter at wide receiver alongside Miles Austin.
Q: Ed Werder on ESPN just said that the Cowboys want to make sure Dez "gets the right mentoring. They want him talking to Michael Irvin, not Deion Sanders." Ed said that with a straight face. Was he kidding? Do the Cowboys value Michael's mentoring skills that much and not Deion's? -- Alven (Tulsa, Okla.)
A: Jerry Jones said he has no problems with Dez Bryant being associated with Deion Sanders or Michael Irvin. Bryant said Sanders has done nothing to hurt him.
Q: Who is going to be the field goal kicker for the Cowboys next year? -- Terry (Harrisburg, Pa.)
A: David Buehler and Connor Hughes are the kickers coming into training camp. The team expects Buehler to win the job because he has a stronger leg and is also the kickoff specialist. The Cowboys have drafted kickers in two of the last four drafts. But Nick Folk is gone now, thanks to his inability to make big kicks last year, and it's Buehler's turn to take over. If he struggles, Jerry Jones said there are replacements out there.

Depletion of oil reserves and the associated effects on climate change have prompted a re-examination of the use of plant biomass as a sustainable source of organic carbon for the large-scale production of chemicals and materials. While initial emphasis has been placed on biofuel production from edible plant sugars, the drive to reduce the competition between crop usage for food and non-food applications has prompted massive research efforts to access the less digestible saccharides in cell walls (lignocellulosics). This in turn has prompted an examination of the use of other plant-derived metabolites for the production of chemicals spanning the high-value speciality sectors through to platform intermediates required for bulk production. The associated science of biorefining, whereby all plant biomass can be used efficiently to derive such chemicals, is now rapidly developing around the world. However, it is clear that the heterogeneity and distribution of organic carbon between valuable products and waste streams are suboptimal. As an alternative, we now propose the use of synthetic biology approaches to 're-construct' plant feedstocks for optimal processing of biomass for non-food applications. Promising themes identified include re-engineering polysaccharides, deriving artificial organelles, and the reprogramming of plant signalling and secondary metabolism.

San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum (CJM) has a slogan that reads: "Connecting art, people, and ideas." So when the museum launched its two new Amy Winehouse exhibitions -- Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait and its corresponding exhibition You Know I'm No Good -- assistant curator Pierre-François Galpin (MA Curatorial Practice 2014) jumped at the chance to do just that.
"I've always been an Amy Winehouse fan, and I was looking to work around pop culture -- not just art -- so I was really glad and excited when this opportunity came up," says Galpin.
Best known for her 2006 hit song "Rehab," Winehouse passed away in 2011 at just 27 years old from alcohol poisoning after a long and public battle with substance abuse.
Both exhibitions opened July 23 at CJM, mere weeks after the release of Amy, a critically praised documentary about the singer. With the spotlight back on Winehouse, the museum sought to help fans and spectators see past the fame and tabloid fodder and present her life in a more intimate and previously unseen way.
For the stateside debut of A Family Portrait, Galpin worked closely with the curators of the Jewish Museum London, where the show originally opened under the careful supervision of Winehouse's brother, Alex.

My 16 year old daughter is up in her room as I type this crying over her recent break-up with her boyfriend of over a year. I've tried talking to her but she just ends up crying and says she doesn't want to talk about it. I feel bad because I don't want to leave her up there alone and crying but maybe she does just want to be alone right now. Has anyone had any experience with this? What did you do? Any advice would be appreciated because I don't know what to do!!!
What to do when your teen daughter has a broken heart : (
SAHM to�Crystal 01-07-94 Jacob 09-30-96 Austin James 03-07-09 Alexa Grace 05-20-11
She will come out eventually. Just let her know that you are there for her. Maybe make cookies for her and have a movie and junkfood session waiting for her. Tell her to invite some friends over to watch with her. Do something that reminds her that life goes on without actually telling her that (cause she probably won't believe you)...Good luck!
ODD born 4/20/2010...YDD born 7/5/2011
They are my world!
That's the worst. My daughter did that same thing, only she'd sit out on the balcony and cry all night, which I'm sure the neighbors loved.
My daughter eventually snapped out of it on her own. I asked her if she wanted to talk, but she didn't so I didn't force her. One thing that seemed to cheer her up was telling her stories of my own teen angst broken heart stuff. One story that particularly cheered her up was from when I was eighteen. He was my first live-in boyfriend, and when he dumped me I thought I was going to die. She knows him and knows that he still loves me, is still single now (twenty years later), was never able to do better, regrets dumping me, etc. It seemed to make her feel better to laugh about the fact that my terrible heartache resulted in this guy pining over me for two decades, long after I had moved on and couldn't care less. I think the thought of the boyfriend who broke her heart realizing he made a tragic mistake and sitting around lonely for the rest of his life gave her a little sadistic thrill, and I'm glad it helped, even if it was in an evil way.
It's hard for them to imagine moving on or loving other people, because when you're a teenager a lot of the time your whole world revolves around your boyfriend. But life does go on, and there will be a whole lot more boyfriends in their future. I think my daughter has gone through a few of them since "the only guy who ever really knew her" broke her heart. There are endless guys out there waiting to get to know them, of course. We know that, but it takes them a little while to realize it sometimes.

Wondering what's wrong with me? Buy my books and find out!
Thanks so much for the advice ladies! She spent some time with a couple friends yesterday and one spent the night but, since they are both gone now, she has been hidden away in her room all day with puffy eyes I told her that if she needed anything, to let me know. She just texted me (we're in the same house! I guess she really wants to stay in her room!) and wanted to know if I could bring her a Diet Dr. Pepper. Soooo..... I sent her little brother into her room with the soda (he's 15 months old) and that seemed to put a smile on her face! It just breaks my heart seeing her so upset!!! I think I will definitely take your advice on telling her about my past heartache. When I was a sophomore in high school, I got my heart broken. My solution was to "get back at the ex" by rebounding and immediately dating the first person who asked me out! Turns out that the person I "rebounded" with is now my husband!!! We ended up dating throughout the rest of high school and got married shortly after. It's so hard at that age to realize that it really isn't the end of the world when a break-up like this happens. I'm crossing my fingers that she's able to recover from this soon!!! Thanks again!
SAHM to�Crystal 01-07-94 Jacob 09-30-96 Austin James 03-07-09 Alexa Grace 05-20-11
I would give her some space and she will come to you soon for comfort. I have not gone through it with my kids but have experienced it myself. Every situation is different.
I agree, give her space! And try not to say anything too disparaging about her ex, or to try and minimize what she's feeling. Just acknowledge that it hurts, and it's hard (but necessary) to move on. Cookies or ice cream aren't a bad idea either.
oh and if she texts you next time asking you to bring her something, maybe make sure it is you--it may be her way to reaching out to you and letting you know a little at a time how much she hurts (tho we all know you can see how much she hurts) I am NOT looking forward to that at all
Yeah, it's pretty awful. Watching your baby in pain (and of course she will always be your baby) is one of the worst parenting experiences! All these ladies had great advice - my ODD is def very private and prefers to be alone in her sad times. My YDD is opposite and wants to be very openly comforted. One thing you could do is jot her a little note or card and leave it on her pillow, just letting her know you are aware her heart is broken and that you love her and would be happy to talk or listen if she wants. Maybe tuck a pack of gum or a small fancy chocolate bar inside. This seems to be a way I can reach ODD even more than talking (if ODD is upset she just tends to shut out what I am saying).
Mom of one brilliant college student (A), one dynamic high schooler (K) and one amazing preschooler with autism (I).
Yep, things are crazy here!
She probably needs some time, but if you can get her to watch a movie with you, I think distraction is a good thing. Grief is all well and good, but don't let her wallow for too long. If you get movies make sure it's mindless comedy. Dodgeball springs to mind. Something like that. And I think some form of chocolate would be in order. And tell her that early love is a learning experience for the love that will surely come her way.
Discuss Catholicism and Catholic life in a fun and tolerant atmosphere!
I like the note card and the chocolate bar idea! What I tend to do when my teenager is upset it text her - yes, even though we're in the same house. Texting is her way of communicating and it opens the door for more conversation. I would start out with something small like, "Let me know if you need anything. I'm always here for you sweetie."
I would also go get her a humorous break-up book from the book store. There are some really great ones that really help get through all the hurt and hopefully will help her realize that she's not the only one that has felt like this and she will survive.
Also make sure that when she's ready you share your stories (always helpful with daughters). Don't push your opinions of what she should do unless she asks.
Proud mommy to�4 girls (14 y/o,�10 y/o, 6 y/o & Charlee was born 9/20/10)�
It is so hard to watch your dd in pain because some guy broke her heart. I have been through this with my odd, but she was 20 when her heart go broken and it was pretty easy for her to "rebound" because she had the freedom to go out and meet other people. Is your daughter in a situation where she can be around her friends, girls and boys? It seems like it is easy to get over "wonder what is is doing right now and with who" if you are able to get out and do some fun stuff of your own.

St James Senior Girls' School is an independent day school for girls aged 11-18, based in Kensington Olympia, and accommodating a two-form year group. From September 2016, our Junior School pupils will transfer at Year 7 (previously at Year 6) and we admit a further 20-25 pupils at 11+ from other schools.
We offer an education which draws out and magnifies the unique talents which are innate in every individual. We provide an environment which enriches the intellectual, emotional and spiritual development of our pupils in an atmosphere which supports unity and is conducive to the happiness of all.
St James pupils achieve the highest academic standards but we believe education to be a great deal more than simply the acquisition of exam results. Our teachers have excellent subject knowledge and have been chosen for their ability to devote themselves to the well-being and development of their pupils.
Girls work together, delighting in the achievement of others as well as their own. A St James girl is industrious, open-hearted and courageous. We encourage her to develop strength in self-discipline and the ability to live according to her intelligent understanding of what is valuable and true.
I look forward to welcoming you to St James whether at one of our Open Days, a School in Action visit or when your daughter comes for an interview.
Do please use these opportunities to speak to pupils and teachers who will all be delighted to help and answer any of your questions.
I wish you good luck in this important task ahead!

– WWE Champion CM Punk recently spoke with The Sun in the UK. Here are some highlights from the interview that took place before Night of Champions:
Wrestling The Rock:
"Anybody that doesn't want to wrestle The Rock is pretty foolish. He's not around a lot, so to get an opportunity to wrestle him, it's a slim chance. I might have a shot at him at the Royal Rumble if I get past John Cena, and that right now is my goal. The Rumble is a while away, but hopefully I stay the champ until then."
Getting pissed off at The Rock's return:
"Rock being back, I guess, puts a lot of eyes on our product. In that respect it's a good thing. I have a lot of pride in what I do, and I'm proud of the WWE, and their superstars and divas that are on the road 365 days a year. It's a very cold business, it's a very 'what have you done for me lately?' business. When somebody walks in and gets afforded opportunities that people are in line for and people are busting their ass for, you're damn right I'm going to get pissed off about it. It's only logical; it isn't sour grapes. It isn't whining. It's a fact. I said it, I was vocal about it. I said it to his face. That's just the kind of guy I am. Listen, if I disappear for 5-8 years and I come back, I only hope there is someone as angry and as hungry, with a chip on their shoulder, just like me, to tell me the same thing: 'Hey, I can do everything you're doing, and I'm doing it every day.' I don't hate The Rock, I don't hate Dwayne. There honestly aren't any hard feelings, there's nothing anything personal. It has motivated me to work harder and to prove everybody wrong. That's what I do."
His upcoming DVD:
"I definitely had the last say in what matches went on there. When I saw the story and how it edited together, I wanted to pick matches that accentuate that story. I watched it with a couple of friends of mine. It's pretty bizarre; it's like I'm at my own funeral. It's all these people I love and respect on there talking about me and seeing my entire career on a WWE DVD. It's surreal."

Linux Kernel: Improved Webcam Support Thanks to GSPCA
The kernel developers plan to integrate the GSPCA driver with kernel 2.6.27 to add support for a large number of webcams.
Following the introduction of the driver – this is on the roadmap for kernel 2.6.27 at the latest - the kernel should support most popular webcams without forcing users to compile addition kernel modules.
The integration of the UVC driver with the recently released in 2.6.26 kernel version significantly increased the number of webcams supported by the kernel. The GSPCA drivers now extend support to USB webcams, which include many internal webcams in notebooks.
The GSPCA drivers were developed by Michel Xhaard, a French doctor, who has programmed drivers for hundreds of USB webcams in a solo effort launched back in 2003. Xhaard gave a very readable interview to the British online magazine Inquirer in April last year, revealing facts about his hobby.
The inclusion of the drivers in the kernel offers users a number of advantages by removing the need for users to download drivers from the author's website and to build the executables. This procedure can be annoying when distribution updates install a new kernel forcing the user to manually build the matching webcam module to reinstate support. Although there are approaches to automating this process (such as KMP in Opensuse), kernel integration is a far more elegant.

Diabetes - vision loss; Retinopathy - vision loss; Low vision
Low vision is a visual disability. Wearing regular glasses or contacts does not help. People with low vision have already tried the available medical or surgical treatments. And no other treatments will help.
People with vision worse than 20/200, with glasses or contact lenses, are considered legally blind in most states in the US. But many people in this group still have some useful vision.
When you have low vision, you may have trouble driving, reading, or doing small tasks like sewing and crafts. But you can make changes in your home and in your routines that help you stay safe and independent. Many services are available for you to get the training and support to function independently. Two of these are the Braille Institute of America and Lighthouse Guild.
The type of low vision aid you use will depend on your type of vision loss. Different aids are better suited for different problems.
The main types of visual loss are:
A normally-sighted family member or friend may need to help you set up some types of visual aids. Some options include:
You will want to develop routines that make life easier with low vision. If your home is already well organized, you may need to make only small changes.
Have a place for everything.
Become familiar with common things.
Label your things.
Learn to get around by yourself.
Learn how to walk with someone else's help.
