Dr. Dog has never been a band that has mapped out the musical direction for its albums before going into the studio. At best, songwriters Scott McMicken and Toby Leaman have only brought in skeletons of songs when the group convened for recording sessions.
Many bands would be unwilling to leave so much to chance when it's time to hit the record button and create an album. In fact, the one time Dr. Dog used an outside producer on an album — for 2008's "Shame, Shame" — the lack of advance preparation was a source of conflict between the band and producer Rob Schnapf, who expected Dr. Dog to have full-fledged songs ready to record at the outset of the recording sessions.
If anything, though, McMicken and Leaman have grown even more resistant to developing songs and defining the direction of Dr. Dog's music since the "Shame, Shame" project.
In fact, for the band's current CD, "B-Room," the group came about as close as possible to being completely open-ended about the music that would go on the album.
"Largely, we (McMicken and Leaman) have always kind of come in (to recording) with acoustic guitar, vocals, melody, structure and everything and then turned it loose," McMicken said of earlier album sessions. "But in this case, it was even more extreme in that we would most of the time not even have any suggestion at all. We'd all just start playing. We recorded hours of jamming and we'd listen back and find where we hit our stride and use those moments to, as a band, write and part out songs. Oftentimes, it was using editing, editing of like a 20-minute jam edited into a structure and getting the best dynamic moments and the best parts, and we'd create a demo that way that we could all then hear as a 3 1/2 bit of music and then go and play from start to finish."
There was some strategy behind the move by McMicken and Leaman to do even less advance songwriting.
Ahead of Dr. Dog's 2012 album, "Be the Void," the group went through a personnel change, adding drummer Eric Slick and multi-instrumentalist/percussionist Dimitri Manos to a lineup that also included guitarist Frank McElroy and keyboardist Zach Miller.
Liking how the revamped lineup had been jelling, McMicken said he and Leaman wanted "B-Room" to be as fully collaborative as possible.
"It was a method of using the totality of the band's voice as a way at arriving at the songs themselves, just trying to play to everyone's strengths and encourage everyone's individuality," he said.
"It just seems useless at this point, especially initially for me, to, in the case of Eric on drums, at this point in time, I would so much rather find out what his body tells him about the meat of this song than hear his interpretation of what I think it is," McMicken said. "So yeah, it just comes from a lot of trust in each other as players in our time together."
The jam-derived approach to songwriting seems apparent on "B-Room." The band eases into the album a bit with songs like the laid back "The Truth" and "Minding the Usher," which indeed feel like they could have originally been part of longer pieces of music. But other songs — such as "Distant Light" (which sounds like a could-be hit single), "Phenomenon" (which gets a bluegrassy texture from its banjo and violin) and "Love" (a hooky rocker) — feel more concise, complete and tightly crafted.
Stylistically, "B-Room" is a bit more relaxed, but the songs fit well within the tradition of earlier Dr. Dog albums, blending a strong sense of pop melodicism with a folk-rock sound that frequently has gauzy or loose-limbed psychedelic edge.
Dr. Dog began developing that sound in 1999 in West Grove, Pa., and has steadily grown its following over the course of its eight studio albums.
The group has also stayed true to its core musical style. That doesn't mean, though, that there hasn't been growth. And McMicken said the quieter material on "B-Room" has helped the band enrich its live show.
"We've always been good at sort of charging out of the gate and just like pedal-to-the-metal energy," he said. "But it's the kind of more subtler zones that are kind of a new frontier for us that we've all been enjoying a lot. And the new songs offer a lot of that, where the tempo and the dynamic is a little bit more restrained. Historically we always kind of fell flat when we attempted those worlds. But we're getting better and better with that, with more and more mellow stuff. That feels really good to be able to feel like you're still creating a powerful, forceful moment, but keeping the tempo spare and keeping the execution delicate. … So that's kind of the balance, like trying to keep the energy there, but restrained."

I voted Burgh because it's a great challenge.
For the triplets I think it's too easy to beat them. You receive THE pokemon who has an advantage. Also, If they are really gym champion's, they don't need to take the better type in front of us. They should be strong enough to fight us.
Plus, Burgh have some good pokemon. It's the third champion and his pokemon have a little level to beat the 3...
I think it would be more interesting if we have to fight against the triplets. Begining with the type we have an advantage front. After go in front of the middle type. (we have no advantage and no handicap). And after, finish by the type we have a handicap. They respresent a real challenge in this case.
I'm not English. Don't hesitate to correct me. This is the way I can progress.

Quick-eating contest is for the dogs
Feb 14, 2013 (Walla Walla Union-Bulletin - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Advertisement The one-year anniversary of Andrae's Kitchen at the Walla Walla Farmers Co-op is aimed at AK-47 fans.
The celebration, including a ribbon-cutting by the Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce, will include an AK-47-eating contest. Not familiar with the famous hot dog created by chef Andrae Bopp The $10 menu item is a bacon-wrapped quarter-pound hot dog topped with poutine -- hand-cut fries, gravy, cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onions.
Five people will have a chance to battle head-to-head to see who can eat one the fastest. The winner will get free AK-47s for a year and an additional prize from Inland Cellular, which is partnering with the Chamber and Andrae's Kitchen on the event.
An as-yet-unnamed celebrity ringer is also expected to compete.
The showdown at the co-op, 706 W. Rose St., takes place March 2.
Starting Monday potential competitors can enter their names for consideration. A random selection will pick the participants. Those interested can text "AKS" to 87940. Doing so will also create a database of people who will be able to take advantage of a buy-one-get-one-free sandwich and AK-47 offer the weekend of the celebration. Those who want the deal but not the foodie face-off can opt out of the latter if their names are selected.
Potential participants have until March 3 to enter. Competitors will be selected March 4. The ribbon-cutting takes place at 4 p.m., with the food competition at 4:30 p.m.

Setting Standards for High Frame Rate Digital Cinema PART 2

Stereoscopic 3D
Michael Karagosian
: Setting Standards for High Frame Rate Digital Cinema PART 2
(print friendly)
I was asked by SMPTE to co-chair the HFR Study Group, presumably because of my experience in chairing committees and my work in exhibition, and certainly not because of some fabled ability to discern image artifacts. I jumped in because I knew I'd have the chance to work closely with two talented cinematographers, Kommer Kleijn, S.B.C., and Dave Stump, A.S.C. HFR only makes sense to me if driven by the creative community, and our combined skill sets would drive the study effort in the right way.
Dolby Split Surround encoder/decoder for 70mm film was introduced with
Apocalypse Now
I am quite familiar with the exhibitors' point of view, having consulted to
for 11 years, and having spent much of my career developing and marketing, as well as helping others develop and market, new products and services to the exhibition market. The introduction of digital cinema was challenging. It was an unbalanced proposition, and up until 3D, it was only a me-too experience. Distributors would save money in fulfillment, but exhibitors would spend more on equipment. Technology companies were attempting to build momentum through the excitement of this new technology, but the truth is that the reason we go to the cinema is to see a
. We don't go to the cinema to see a
Fortunately, it happens that a single digital projector can also show high quality 3D images. What really clinched sales for digital projection is that the creative community loves 3D, and exhibitors are able to charge more for the experience. It was this unique combination of forces that drove the adoption of digital projection in cinemas.
The big challenge today for technology companies is the massive downturn in sales that is destined to take place the last half of this decade as the digital installation boom ends. To counteract, the natural instinct for these companies is to prey upon the human desire to have the latest and greatest. For this reason, you see manufacturers pushing HFR technology, new sound capability, higher brightness, lower cost devices, and on it goes. It's not possible, however, to achieve the same overwhelming welcome by exhibitors that 3D enjoyed without the means to monetize new investment, an aspect that is sorely lacking with newer technologies.
The push for HFR has more twists to it. Filmmakers understand the new capabilities of their cameras, and maybe they understand the production workflow bottlenecks that new digital cameras impose, but few if any go as far as to understand the impact that they will have in exhibition.
The drive for HFR with
has also been ahead of the game, causing many manufacturers to drop development projects that would have been more profitable for them. As the time for movie release approaches, real problems in the field led to a legitimate concern on
's part that a wide-scale HFR release will cause dark screens, or just as bad, improperly configured presentations. That led Warner to limit the number of HFR releases to 400. For all the efforts made, 400 screens is not a very rewarding market for either manufacturers or exhibitors.
More attention needs to be paid to the creative drive for HFR. The press (obviously not
Creative COW
) likes to say that
movies will be produced in HFR. Just like the press used to say that
movies would be 3D. But like 3D, HFR is just another tool for story telling.
Doug Trumbull
, ever the world champion for HFR, having been the pioneer behind SHOWSCAN in the 80's, talks about HFR as a tool to drive emotion and intensity, as story-telling tools. Even Doug doesn't talk about HFR as the right tool for every story. This mixed world of frame rates imposes an interesting set of challenges on exhibition systems. And the creative exploration of higher frame rates is only just beginning. There is more to learn, and it is this uncertainty that poses a problem for manufacturers, who have to tow a line. If they put too much technology into their products, they'll drive up price with a negative impact on sales. If they put in too little, the new features won't be useful to filmmakers, and of no value to their customers, the exhibitors.
Filmmakers understand the new capabilities of their cameras, but a very present problem is the impact in exhibition. HFR poses legitimate concerns such as improperly configured presentations or dark screens. This potential problem led Warner Bros. to limit HRF releases to just 400 screens.
Ready or not, a stake has been placed in the sand. Image content is compressed using
, at a visually lossless rate. So that filmmakers have a concrete ceiling to work with, and so manufacturers could build competitive and interoperable products,
(Digital Cinema Initiatives, a consortium of the 6 major studios) specified that products must support a minimum of 250Mb/s for compressed image. But that spec was not to exceed 4K at 24fps, and even then, the cinematographer community didn't feel that the 250Mb/s number was enough. When we get into higher frame rates than those specified by DCI, we step into new territory. Today, the latest generation of products supports up to 500Mb/s of compressed image data. But the question is still there as to whether this is enough.
The Hobbit
, 500Mb/s is considered sufficient, but only just. The HFR version of
will be released at 48fps per eye, or 96fps if you're a projector and simply counting frames. Doug Trumbull and others have determined that the optimum impact on our senses occurs at 60fps for 2D, or 60 fps per eye (120 fps) for 3D. To get there and preserve quality, we will need new development. That development could be in the form of smarter encoders that better manage bit allocation among image objects during compression, or the introduction of decoders in the field faster than 500Mb/s, or both.
My guess is that we have an installed base today of around 10-15K 500Mb/s decoders, if all of the upgrades were to be implemented, out of over 80,000 digital projectors in cinemas around the world at this time (Oct 2012). Both counts will grow with upgrades and new equipment sales as the 40,000 film screens that remain are converted. Obviously, if you get the drift of where this is going, we're going to have a large base of 500 Mb/s HFR-capable equipment, and it would make a lot of people happy if we could simply improve encoders, rather than push for another generation of decoders in the field.
Filmmakers have a concrete ceiling to work with compressing using JPEG2000, a visually lossless compression. By stepping into higher frame rates than DCI's standard minimum support of 250Mb/s for compressed image specs of 4K at 24fps, we're looking at requirements for smarter encoders, field decoders faster than 500Mb/s, or both.
However, we first need to better understand what we have today, and what cinematographers need. To get there, we need HFR test material. You would think that we would have tons of material to work with in Hollywood, but all of the good stuff has rights attached to it. We need a wide variety of carefully designed, real-world shots to stress JPEG2000 encoding at higher frame rates. I emphasize "real-world" as we could use pathological test patterns for this purpose, but we would get pathological results, pointing us to system requirements that may be way beyond what we need for real-world movie making.
The availability of practical HFR test material, in a big way, will help us solve two problems at once. The first problem is we need to comprehend the restrictions imposed on bit rate, frame rate, and quality level in our 500Mb/s world. The second is that we need to empower manufacturers to build better encoder and decoder products. By better I mean smarter encoders, and higher bit rate decoders. Open, real-world HFR test material will enable manufacturers to be more innovative and sure-footed in their product development.
The HFR Study Group is very much a worldwide, collaborative effort, with participating members from several continents. The group has two major tasks. The first is the cataloging of system capability, existing system issues, and areas where more testing is needed. A summary of that work to date was published in the SMPTE Journal's September 2012 issue in the 21DC report. The second is an evaluation of the limitations of current equipment from a quality perspective, and the limits that the industry should target. To get to the second step requires the test material I spoke about. A fair chunk of my time is spent leading our Test Team group, centered on the production planning for the shoot of HFR test material, and the steps needed to evaluate it. My hope is that by this time next year we can talk about the completion of this work, and the outcomes that we will have observed.

A new city market, fraternal lodge and restaurant or office space are the latest ideas for a vacant building in downtown Franklin if a city board decides to sell the property.
Three groups submitted proposals for the former G.C. Murphy building, on East Jefferson Street, to the Franklin Redevelopment Commission, which owns the building.
All three groups proposed to buy the building for $1, and two asked for incentives from the city board to help with their planned renovations, which range from $200,000 to $400,000.
The commission has prioritized selling the building this year in order to get a new business in the property and start generating tax revenue. The building has been government-owned since 2009, and taxes have not been collected on the large downtown property.
Redevelopment commission members have said they will select a proposal they feel would best use the building.
The city board will review the proposals and make a decision whether to sell the building to one of the groups or reject all proposals and continue looking. This is the second round of proposals reviewed by the board, after two proposals were dropped last year due to financial reasons.
The proposals are:
- Noblesville-based Yeager Properties proposed turning the first floor of the building into 27 small, low-rent office suites that would be marketed to small businesses.
- The Fraternal Order of Elks Lodge 1818 would turn the building into a new lodge and partner with Aunt Judy's Country Kitchen to bring the restaurant to the heart of downtown.
- Franklin residents Tom and Amy Grimmer plan to turn the building into a city market, duckpin bowling alley in the basement and event space on the upper floor.
Yeager Properties proposes turning the first floor into office suites, with shared conference room space and other amenities. The offices would be about 200 square feet, with rents between $405 and $475 per month.
The offices are targeted to small businesses and professionals, such as lawyers or real estate agents, said Scott Baldwin, vice president of development for Yeager Properties.
The company has an office building in Greenwood, at 3209 W. Smith Valley Road, and suites in Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville and Plainfield.
Baldwin said he thinks Franklin could fill 27 suites, and most buildings owned by the company are fully occupied.
Yeager Properties does not have plans to develop the other two floors. Baldwin said the basement could continue to be used for community events, while the top floor eventually might be home to a partnership program with Franklin College that would help support business start-ups. The company also could construct more offices in the future, if needed.
The company proposed purchasing the building for $1 and would invest $200,000 into the renovation. Yeager Properties asked for $400,000 from the redevelopment commission to assist with renovation costs and also is seeking $200,000 in a facade grant from the Franklin Development Corp., a nonprofit agency created by the city, which has promised money to help with the building's facade.
The Franklin Elks lodge is seeking less money from the redevelopment commission but still requested about $200,000 in tax dollars.
The Elks have about $250,000 in a building fund but also would request assistance for the facade work, the cost to add sprinklers and reimbursement for building permits.
Elks leader Bob Swinehamer, who is also a member of Franklin's Board of Works, didn't have a specific figure for the incentives but said he expected the Elks would provide 55 percent of the money and would ask for the rest in tax-funded incentives.
Franklin Elks would turn the building into a new lodge and would move from the current location on North Water Street. Aunt Judy's Country Kitchen would be located in the west side of the main floor and pay rent to the Elks, while the Elks would have meeting space on the east side of the building.
The second floor would be used as an event space for use by the Elks, catered events by Aunt Judy's or rented out to the public. The basement would be turned into offices, meeting rooms and storage shared by both the Elks and the restaurant.
The Grimmers also would purchase the building for $1 but asked for no additional incentives from the city board.
The couple would seek facade money from the Franklin Development Corp. for exterior upgrades.
The Grimmers, who own Bird on a Wire boutique in Franklin, submitted a proposal to make the main floor a city market, including a bakery, produce shop and possible meat market.
The second floor would be turned into an event space or possibly house Amy Grimmer's business, Bird on a Wire.
The basement would become a duckpin bowling alley or other activity space.
Members of the city board will consider the proposals next month.

Renaissance Style Wedding Dresses
When it comes to latest trends in wedding dresses and bridal wear in general, the tendencies seem to be divided in two main categories: old period wedding dresses and new designer wedding dresses. More and more brides of today are likely to be inclined towards wearing an old wedding dress than a brand new one.
The idea of wearing a superb and unique wedding dress is more flattering than that one of wearing a cosmopolitan wedding dress. In fact, the concept of "the new" wedding dress is associated more with the concept of "old-fashioned" wedding dress. A unique way to look distinctive, outstanding, different and incredibly refined is to wear a Renaissance style wedding dress.
This type of dress is perfect for any summer outdoor wedding held in a beautiful romantic English garden, in a public green park or on a field. The bride who is planning on wearing a Renaissance style wedding dress can build a whole wedding around this romantic and splendid theme just to create a more unified, deep and meaningful backdrop.
If we are to think of the main features of a Renaissance style wedding dress, then we would surely speak about long and lavish sleeves, high necks, corsets, jewel embroideries, puffy sleeves, full floor-length ball gown skirts, old century costumes or hats. If you're looking for a more authentic and truly unique Renaissance style wedding dress you can have it customized by a professional wedding dress designer or have it sewed by a seamstress that really knows his job.
It's important to pick the most suitable pattern that can fit your body figure and flatter your personal style, vision, preferences and individuality. To make sure that your Renaissance style wedding dress is absolutely one-of-a-kind it would be best to let yourself inspired by different period costumes and outfits that renaissance women used to wear in that time.
Browse for pictures with Renaissance style wedding dresses in different magazines or on the internet, on various websites that provide with this kind of attires. If you're wondering what type of materials can be used in creating a Renaissance style wedding dress, we can tell you that these are, in general, extremely thick and heavy, such as brocades or chic velvets, and they work perfect for autumnal or winter weddings.
But these aren't the only types of fabrics that you ca use. For spring or summer weddings you can opt for a more casual, light-weighted and draping material, such as cotton, duchesses stain, organza, damask, crepe, batiste, linen or chiffon. When we think of the colors that are appropriated for a Renaissance style wedding dress, we picture those jeweled tones, such as gold, butter yellow, egg white, eggplant, cream, beige or sepia colors. But these days, modern brides can choose any type of vibrant, hot and trendy nuance for her Renaissance style wedding dress, such as burgundy, deep purple, maroon, chocolate brown, red velvet or gothic black.11

it's hard for me to make a decision right now. i am just searching for the right gown for my wedding. which i planned it back in history. unfortunately i don't know yet which period from the history. so i thought i made here a little research. so i began taking each period i like from history and look at the dresses it has to offer. I thought that doing like this, choosing the dress i would like the most, it would be lot helpful. well, when you see many that you like, like the second one from here, with the roses, it's even harder to decide. I like so many of them from what I've already seen. I just hope I will make a decision soon.

MESSED UP MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!This case overall is very pretty and elegant. When I put it on it looked great, but to get it off it wouldn't budge.I ended up using a knife to break the case and am still working on it. I have used to blow dryer method and nothing, its not like I have latex gloves rolling around to help. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IT IS NOT WORTH RISKING A $500 DOLLAR DIVICE. With this I will end up losing money.

Scratched my phoneBought the slider case for my 3G about 5 years ago, scratched my phone up and down, was not satisfied. Now with a different phone design, I decided to give it another chance, love the sleekness and minimal size it adds. Second phone to be damaged by the case itself. Would not recommend, final incase product I willl purchase

Meta case iPhone 5The case is fine except for being hard to remove unlike the iPhone 4 case was.
By KatiaReport offensive reviewThis is the best case ever. I have been very harsh on my phone and the case has protected it. Wouldn't buy any other case besides this! Would recommend it to everyone. The only con is that the glitter peals off after wear.
By LauraReport offensive review
GlitterI like the overall design of the case. I don't find the buttons hard to press. I am however pretty disappointed with the glitter. It's not part of the plastic case, but is overlaid with a coating. The glitter coating is peeling off after about a month of use. :(

A couple issuesOverall the case looks and feels great but the buttons are hard to press and after 2 days I found the tip of my thumb is sore from having to press so hard. Also I discovered that even though the hole around the camera is pretty big it still washes pictures out when the flash is needed

Not GoodI had to return this case. My headphones did not work with the case. My speaker phone did not work with the case either. It was also difficult to get on and off the phone.

2 Tone ColorMy wife has this case and it's the best out there in our opinion...slim, protects the phone well, terrific grip in the hand...so why does incase go and create every option in 2-tone like I'm 12 years old?!? How about just plain black?
By ChuckReport offensive review
Incase slider caseI like the feel weight and protection of this case, but to say the buttons are hard to press is a real understatement. More like impossible to press and make them actually work the button functions on the phone. I have had mine for three months, and they have not gotten any easier to push.
The only saving grace is that the case is so easy to remove, if I need to adjust the volume, I remove the case and the phone buttons work fine!
Really too expensive to have it not be fully functional!

A few weeks back, I posed a question about touring Scotland. With the current craziness in airfare prices (having trouble finding anything under $1400 pp to london), and the fact that the rental place we chose (the only one we could find that had road style touring bikes) is flaking out on us, we are considering using our own bikes, and going out west to Glacier/Banff/Jasper. Of course that means the trip just moved from light load staying in B&Bs to fully loaded touring. This trip is meant to be our last big "adventure" before starting a family, buying a house, etc.. (not to say that we wont have more adventures, but there probably wont be many for some time after this point).
The issue we now run into is one of equipment, and of course, money. I am hoping we can make this work, but if it is not realistic, we would like to know now. If I am wrong on any statements below, please let me know.
First up, my setup. In this corner, weighing in at 185lbs (which I hope to lose some of my spare tire by august), me! My frame is a 2001 LeMond Tourmalet frame (steel) with the stock (steel) fork. It has been true to me, has a nice soft ride, and I have gotten used to its hefty weight. My components are a Shimano Ultegra double chainring setup, with 11-22 gearing (ouch!). Finally, the wheels are a Shimano racing wheel with waaaaay too few spokes. Obviously I am going to have to pimp my ride (tm) a bit to make things tour worthy.
First up, the frame. The Tourmalet has been a great, solid frame for me, and I have had no problems at all with its integrity. It is strong, steel, and I think it should work fine. I have mounted a rack/panniers and have no clearance issues with my pedals/feet, so I think the frame might just work. Next, the gears. I have a triple crankset/bottom bracket in the garage ready to go, and my shifters support a triple. I have a friend who will let me use his spare Shimano 105 triple front and rear derailer. I'll be purchasing a much more touring/mountain worthy cassette. Finally the wheels. They have to go. I'll look at building up as inexpensive but reliable wheelset as is realistic.
In the other corner, weighing in at 70lbs less than me (do the math.. she'd kill me if I posted the number alone), my lovely wife. Her frame is a Specialized Allez (aluminum frame, CF fork), and she has been commuting to work on it, with loaded rear panniers for the past few weeks without incident. Her gearing is a tiagra/105 triple, so all is happy there. Finally, her wheels are Ksyrium Elite's. Obviously her ride does not need the same level of modifications as mine. Here is what I am thinking:
Her frame seems to work fine. She has clearance between her feet/the rear panniers. Her triple setup is fine. Her rear cassette is a 12-24, which may need to be replaced with something a little more well suited to touring. Finally the wheels. I realize that the Ksyrium Elite's are not great touring wheels. That being said, they hauled my 70lb heavier body, and heavier frame around for 3500+ miles, and were solid as a rock. I am wondering if they would work for my wife's bike as fully loaded, she'll still weigh less than me with no gear.
One last thing to consider. In general, we tend to travel quite light. We do a good deal of extended backpacking, have a bunch of light-weight camping equipment, and have gotten our loaded backpacking packs down to about 30-35lbs each.
Frankly, this trip (par for the course) is turning out to be more expensive than we planned. Our current investment is 2 sets of rear Jaand mountaineer panniers and 2 rear racks, but I can see that the rabbit hole may go much deeper. So I guess my big question, before we take the plunge is:
Are we being stupid about this, trying to fit our obviously non-touring bikes into a tour? Or is this something that is doable? Any tips for those who have tried to tour with a similar non-tour bike setup? We're looking for adventure, but getting stuck somewhere in the middle of Canada would be more adventure than we want .

Alice Cooper, veteran rock star and all-around showbiz maven, is on the phone from Melbourne, Australia, where he plays two concerts before continuing on to New Zealand and then Japan. The singer promises that his Psycho Drama tour contains "all the hits," as well as the stage theatrics he's notorious for. That, in fact, seems to be the reason he hasn't played Japan in 20 years. Hauling that gallows around is pretty expensive.
"My show has always been a sort of psycho vaudeville," Cooper explains in a chipper voice. "It's not exactly a horror show because there's comedy in it, and it's sort of slapstick in places, but at the same time it's psychotic."
It is disappointing to learn that there will be no guillotine. Apparently, you get either the gallows or the guillotine, but not both.
"We did the guillotine for five years and decided we'd do the gallows on this tour," he says. "I think it's a harder trick. It's certainly a lot more dangerous than the guillotine (magic tricks in which Cooper is either hanged or beheaded have been a feature of his stage shows since the early 1970s)." This thought leads to another. "It's funny. You know, I'm in better shape at 60 than I was when I was 30. When I was 30 I was a mess. A lot of us got to that point where we either had to stop doing what we were doing or we were going to check off the planet early." By "we" Cooper means "guys like me and Ozzy (Osbourne) and Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith), who finally found some space in our careers to cool it."
All three of these rock icons were born in 1948 and all were famous drug and/or booze addicts at their peak.
Cooper points out that all three still perform. "It's amazing when you look around and see who's still touring and who's still doing great shows," he says. "Aerosmith is still doing great shows. So is Iggy (Pop). I think our show is better now than it was in 1990."
Cooper's self-promotion has the unmistakable ring of the survivor's exultation at his own endurance. He's glad to be alive and, more significantly, able to keep pulling in fans.
Nostalgia is certainly the fuel for his popularity, but Cooper's particular brand of entertainment pizzazz transcends his narrower but by no means trivial reputation as the inventor of shock rock. If you were an American high-school student in the early '70s, Cooper was the most problematic superstar on Top 40 radio, and if you were a parent of one of those students, he was the devil incarnate. Prefiguring the androgynous image gambits of David Bowie and Lou Reed and The New York Dolls by at least two years, Cooper not only assumed a woman's name but sported torn and stressed feminine attire and smeared mascara. His infamous stage show incorporated live boa constrictors, mutilated dolls and Grand Guignol effects, like the guillotine. His most famous songs, like "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out," celebrated stock adolescent rebellion and disaffection in no uncertain terms. Even if his fans knew he was devoutly religious or that his politics were unfashionable (he supported the Vietnam War), they didn't care. The outrageous persona was everything, and that scared their parents to death.
"You can't do that anymore," he says with a laugh. "Honestly, you can't shock an audience, not when there's CNN. That's the one thing that Marilyn Manson and I agree on: All you can do is give them a great show." In any event, Cooper's transgressive cachet didn't survive the breakup of the original Alice Cooper band in 1975. He became a Hollywood fixture, appearing on game shows, hobnobbing with older celebrities (Groucho Marx, Mae West, George Burns), and, most famously, taking up golf.
"But I can see why parents would have been worried," he adds. "For one thing, urban legends in those days were more powerful than the Internet is now. In 1970, if some kid went to my concert and saw me get my head cut off. There was no way for that story to get around except by word-of-mouth. The story would get so big that by the time it got to school the next day the boa constrictor would be 30 feet long."
Then there's the legend of Cooper biting the head off a chicken on stage and drinking its blood. What really happened was that the band was playing in Toronto and a live chicken somehow ran on the stage and Cooper simply tossed the bird into the audience.
"People loved that," he says. "Now when I give them a show, the next day it's already on YouTube. When I cut my head off on stage back then it was a great trick, but now you turn on the news and there's a guy who's really getting his head cut off by terrorists. It sort of dilutes what I do."
Nevertheless, Cooper agrees that rock lost something elemental when it lost its ability to shock, and he blames MTV. "What we did was start giving the kids our version of what the song was visually," he says. "When I used to listen to a song as a kid, I'd have a vision of what that song was. But if there was a video, then you're stuck with that visualization. We just took everybody's imagination away."
There are different styles of theater, just as there are different styles of popular music, and as a parent Cooper admits he isn't entirely unsusceptible to certain pop-culture provocations. "I listen to certain rap music and I go, 'What are they telling my 14-year-old daughter?' " he says. But he's quick to make a distinction between aesthetic judgments and value judgments. "When Outkast came along, I thought, 'that's a creative band.' And if there was one NWA, great. They had an edge to them. But when there's 25 NWAs, then you say: Enough. And you can say the same thing for metal. There was one Metallica, one Black Sabbath, but now we have to deal with 600 of those bands."
Maybe that's why he sticks to classic rock on his syndicated radio show, "Nights With Alice Cooper," which mixes star interviews, reminiscences of the rock life and records he likes, almost all of which come from the '60s and '70s.
"Oh, there's some good young bands out there," he says without actually naming any. "I'm not one of those guys who sits around and goes, 'Oh, there's nothing good anymore.' But I feel sorry for them because of the way the music business is set up now. It's no longer about what's good. We've turned rock 'n' roll into fast food: Eat it fast and then see what's next."
"People ask me, Where do you get your inspiration?" he says. "Don't you run out of things to say? As long as there are human beings there will be a billion things to write about, because we're such a great source of both comedy and horror. Of course, I create characters who aren't real, but they're based on real people, people who are basically psychotic."
Alice Cooper performs March 25 at Shin-Kiba Studio Coast, Tokyo (03) 3462-6969; and 27 at IMP Hall, Osaka (06) 7732-8888. Both shows start at 7 p.m. Tickets: ¥8,400 in advance.

Chris Sarbaugh, who will play at Gonzaga University, was the MVP of the Class 4A boys basketball state tournament, leading the Bullpups to the championship.
The buzzer sounded, but it didn't seem real. Chris Sarbaugh climbed the ladder to help cut down the net and, still, it didn't seem real. On the bus ride home, the Gonzaga Prep (Spokane) senior sat next to the Class 4A championship basketball, but again, it didn't seem real.
Then The Seattle Times' boys Player of the Year returned to Spokane, spent a week weathering a wave of celebratory pats on the back. Finally, he felt it.
"It finally sunk in that it's just a huge deal," said Sarbaugh, the Gonzaga-bound guard. "It's unbelievable."
Last season, the Bullpups entered the state tournament as title contenders before falling to top-ranked Federal Way in a classic quarterfinal matchup that ended in overtime. Then Ryan Nicholas graduated, Charlie Hopkins suffered a knee injury playing football and Gonzaga Prep entered the season with a talented team, but as a state-title longshot.

Sarbaugh, however, carried state-title aspirations. He spent much of the regular season sacrificing his scoring totals to make sure his teammates felt like key contributors, preparing them for the postseason.
"The whole season, everyone was jawing at me," Sarbaugh said. " 'You're going to GU (Gonzaga), you should be scoring more points.' I just felt like, during the season, if everyone was involved, we'd stick together more, be more unified."
He also played through a sprained left knee that felt better late in the season, but still needs time to heal completely.
"The word I use is competitive greatness," Bullpups coach Matty McIntyre said. "He did everything the coaching staff asked him to do. I feel blessed to be his coach. He didn't have to put up huge numbers to be a well-respected athlete. He would do whatever the team and coaches asked him to do. I just have a great deal of respect for a player like that."
In the state playoffs Sarbaugh almost doubled his season scoring average, raising his game to match the efforts of standouts like Kentridge's Gary Bell (Gonzaga), Garfield's Tony Wroten Jr. (Washington) and Curtis' DaVonte Lacy (Washington State).
"In the playoffs, I don't really know what happened," said Sarbaugh, the 4A tournament MVP, who averaged 21 points through four games. "I just felt like, this is it."

Law in America: A Short History
by Lawrence M. Friedman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375506357, Hardcover)Although, in the eyes of many, the law "moves slowly and sluggishly" behind society's advances, Lawrence M. Friedman, in Law in America, a historical overview from colonial times to the present, posits that this is an "illusion." As surely as culture creates law, law creates culture. The American legal system--a bubbling mélange of common ("judge-made") and civil (derived from codes) law--is a "complicated beast," born of thousands of political entities. Originally a "crude and stripped down" descendant of English law, American law in the 19th century was often an instrument of "economic promotion." In the 20th century, with the rise of a national economy, an evermore heterogeneous population, waning federalism, and the rise of what Friedman calls the "administrative-welfare state," the law daily reached further, into the jurisdiction of civil rights of all stripes, product liability, malpractice, and environmental and antitrust considerations. Friedman's chapters on the colonial period and family law are strong, while his look at the contemporary legal climate drifts toward a general discussion of political and social mores. --H. O'Billovich

From the subject's greatest historian, the story of law in America serves as a powerful instrument for exposing the struggles for power and justice that have shaped this country, from its birth pangs to the present. Throughout American history, laws have been more than dry words in dusty books; they've been a reflection of who we are, what we value, who has power. In The Law in America, Lawrence Friedman makes the law's significance sing. In his hands, the story of law in America serves as a powerful instrument for exposing the struggles for power and justice that have shaped this country, from its birth pangs to the present. Throughout America's history, our laws have been a reflection of who we are, of what we value, of who has control. They embody our society's genetic code. In the masterful hands of the subject's greatest living historian, the story of the evolution of our laws serves to lay bare the deciding struggles over power and justice that have shaped this country from its birth pangs to the present. Law in America is a supreme example of the historian's art, its brevity a testament to the great elegance and wit of its composition.… (more)

It's Morrissey's world
Related Links
Relevant offers
It feels like I've waited all my life to see Morrissey live, and I guess that's kind of true if you take in to account the fact that I'm only 23.
Now calm down all you older fans, I know you love to torment the fresh meat with slurs like - 'Oh, you won't know this one, it's well before your time' - but that's just not the case.
My first introduction to the legend was through a mumbled word from the big mouth of Russell Brand. He was rambling on about his cat and how he named it after his hero who was the master of melancholy melodies. My ears pricked up at this so the next day I went to Borders and purchased my first ever Morrissey CD. From the first note of "I Just Want To See The Boy Happy" my world changed and I've been a member of the Moz Army ever since.
I had that CD on repeat in my car, on my iPod, on my stereo and when there were no speakers available his lyrics curdled around in my head and made me feel both happy and sad at the same time.
I can officially say that I was (am) obsessed with this man. So when a picture of Morrissey appeared on Stuff.co.nz with the headline "Morrissey confirms NZ gigs", a surge of hysteria pulsed through me and I almost lost the plot right there in front of all my co-workers. With shaking hands I text my boyfriend four of the most beautiful words I will ever write: "Morrissey's coming to NZ". I received an almost instant reply: "Who?"
So I was going - alone - to experience the only thing I had ever truly wanted in my life: To see Morrissey live.
And I wasn't the only one. When I arrived at Vector Arena there were about 15 people already there. I wasn't expecting anyone to be honest, it was only 3pm. I smiled at the fruit salad of people sitting in front of me - bought together by honest lyrics and a stuff-what-anyone-else-thinks attitude.
One person was following Morrissey around on his world tour, someone had ditched work for the day to line up early and another had flown from Germany to apologise for an incident at an earlier gig. I know it's a cliché but the air really was buzzing with excitement. We exchanged Moz anecdotes, quotes, pictures and if anyone went off topic it was quickly stubbed out and we were back on target.
As more and more people lined up the atmosphere intensified. Every second t-shirt had his handsome mug on it, every other arm had his named inked on to it.
Lining up in the sun for four hours was definitely worth the wait. I was second row back with a clear view of the stage. When the lights went down the time had finally arrived. He meandered on stage with his band and they bowed before the cheers and chants of the adoring crowd. The hum of "Shoplifters Of The World" carried through the audience. It took a while for the awe to wear off but once it did we sung Morrissey's lyrics back to him, with an appreciation that is impossible to describe.
The standout moment for me was when he began to sing "Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want". It was just Morrissey and I, in his lounge and he was pouring his heart out just to me. The only sound connecting to my brain was his sweet voice which gave me permission to let my emotions free. Tears trickled down my face and I'm betting they were matched by others in the crowd.
The rest of the night is like a dream now. My photos are much the same. Blurry, faded images that you really have to look at to see what's going on. But you can tell they are of someone who has shaped the lives of many and left lasting marks on the hearts of more than one generation.
My next up-close-and personal with Morrissey will probably be when he releases his auto-biography. No doubt I will pour over it as I have done his music. The release date was scheduled for December 2012 but I am still waiting. I'm not sure the day will ever come, although I said the same about Morrissey coming to New Zealand.

WASHOUGAL — After Mayor Sean Guard was declared the weight-loss winner Saturday over Camas Mayor Scott Higgins by the slimmest of margins, he got on his bicycle and pedaled over to Amnesia Brewing for a victory pint.
Giving up trying to enjoy light beer will be the only thing he changes following the end of "Camas and Washougal on a Diet," Guard joked. As for other healthy swaps — snacking on vegetables instead of chips, riding a stationary bike while watching television instead of sitting on a couch — he'll stay the course.
Higgins agreed.
"It's a journey that I'm going to keep doing," Higgins said.
Guard, 50, lost 17 pounds during the 12-month campaign, dropping from 235 to 217.
Higgins, 41, lost 20 pounds, from 300 to 280. At 6-foot-1, he's four inches taller than Guard and so percentage-wise, Guard won by one point.
Approximately 450 community members joined the mayors in the challenge, which was capped Saturday with a 5K run/walk.
Washougal residents, on average, lost 4.4 pounds while Camas residents averaged a three-pound loss.
Both mayors had hoped to lose more weight, and acknowledged their ups and downs over past year. The announcement of their initiative made national news as an example of what communities are doing in the face of a national obesity crisis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of 2011, two-thirds of adults in Washington are overweight or obese.
In Clark County, two-thirds of adults and a quarter of children are overweight or obese.
According to body mass index, a way of estimating body fat based on height and weight, both mayors are still considered obese.
Outside of the number on the scale, they noticed other positive changes.
Three months into the challenge, Guard said, his cholesterol dropped 25 points. His blood pressure — once so high he wasn't allowed to donate blood — was no longer a concern.
Higgins said his cholesterol and blood pressure numbers had never been a problem. Once he started eating healthier food and smaller portions, however, he noticed he had considerably more energy.
Higgins said he felt the pressure of having everyone in the community knowing he was trying to shed pounds and people constantly asking him about his progress.
"You don't want to lie," said Higgins, a minister. Higgins said he'll keep trying to take 10,000 steps a day and making healthier food choices, keeping his breakfast a blend of low-fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and having salads at lunch.
Both mayors worked with trainers, an approach that also helped Liz Stiles, 58, who logged the most miles out of the residents who joined the challenge. She was acknowledged for walking 821 miles, but said she really walked 1,800 miles. She just stopped officially logging her miles after she reached her goal. She said having a friend to walk with was a great motivator. Her trainer, Karen Bell of KT Bell Fitness & Nutrition in Washougal, also provided much-needed encouragement during weekly visits.
"She gave me moral support when I would have only lost three-tenths of a pound," said Stiles, who lost 64 pounds during the challenge.
93-pound winner
The overall weight-loss winner was Laina Harris, a Camas woman who once weighed as much as 420 pounds and whose transformation has been chronicled in The Columbian. Harris has lost 93 pounds in the past year, and was rewarded Saturday with a $500 gift certificate for Camas boutique Lily Atelier. Other prizes will enable Harris to get her teeth cleaned and whitened at Orchard Hills Dental, her hair cut and colored at Hair by Krystee and take five free yoga sessions at Body Bliss in Washougal.
Organizers of the challenge, Michelle Clark of Fat2Fit Northwest and Stephanie Millman, said Saturday that they will keep scheduling walks, runs and other community events to keep people inspired.

Chandigarh golfer Pukhraj Singh Gill was lying tied 12th with an overall score of 149 after the second round of the Tata Steel Southern India Amateur being held at the par-72 Karnataka Golf Association Course here on Wednesday.
Young Trishul Chinnappa hung on to a slender one-shot lead in a crowded leader board at the end of the half-way stage. The Bangalore lad shot a level par 72 to stay at 3-under 141 after 36 holes after city-mate Udayan Mane shot a consecutive 1-under par 71 to stay a strike adrift of the leader.
Incidentally Udayans 71 was the best card of the day. Patna lad Aman Raj was lying third at 143 after submitting a card of level par 72. Pratap Atwal who matched the days best score of 71 was tied for the fourth spot along with Manu Gandas at 146.
Syed Saqib Ahmed, Vikram Rana and Ainesh Ahluwalia were all tied for the sixth place at 147. Trishul who began from the 10th, was in trouble on the par-5 11th where he hit right and furthered it on his second. Despite a good chip, he could not make an up and down and missed a seven-footer for par. However, he got into his wonted form making three birdies in the next four holes to be 2-under for the day.
However on the 17th, after hitting in the left, he was back in the woods and chipped out on to the green from about 170 yards but missed the ensuing long par-putt to end up with a bogey. On the back nine, things only got tougher for Trishul as he bogeyed the second which was nullified with a birdie on the fourth with a 20-footer effort. With consecutive bogeys on the sixth and seventh, mainly owing to his short game, he did resurrect with a birdie on the par-3 eighth with a perfect 9-iron which left him about 10 feet from the pin.
I could have hit more fairways than I did but my irons saved the day for me, said the 19-year-old. It is a tight leader board. It is too early to predict anything, although I would surely want to be on the top, he added.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Cute, comfy, wearable
Lovely soft fabric with nice drape. Washes and dries easily. Flattering cut. However, I'm a B-cup and I don't see how anyone could get away with skipping a bra underneath. I wouldn't call it "substantial." It's normal to not have a bra built into a dress, just don't expect it to do something it doesn't. It's definitely an A-line - and if it wasn't, I couldn't wear it. I'm bigger on the bottom than the top, and I usually can't wear Patagonia pants because if the waist fits, they're too tight in the thighs. As it is, I really like this dress.
love this dress
I wear a small, sometimes medium on top and this dress in a small fit perfectly, though I wouldn't go without a bra on this one because the material is very soft and non-supporting so for those who love bra-tops this won't cut it. The dress is so comfortable, I wore it hiking and also tailgating at a sporting event. Hey lady who wants to give your dress, I'll take it!
Disappointed with Patagonia on this One...
I usually am super stoked whenever I purchase a new Patagonia item, whether it's in a store or online. This time that was not the case. Since I could only find the Shell Pink color of the dress in Small I decided it would work, although I usually wear an XS. The top is ridiculously large for a small. I even tried giving it to a girlfriend of mine who usually wears a Medium but she wouldn't take it...so sad...wish it would've worked...
Not for the flatter of the species
Meant for bigger chested girls. Otherwise, there's just too much material cluttering the top.
perfect all around dress.
easy fit, cute, casual or dressy depending on shoes and jewelry you wear,
Great for dress up or casual
I wore this dress to a warm weather, outside wedding and it was extreamly comfortable, very flattering cut, and awesome fit. fabric is stretchy enough so it doesnt cling, but not to the point where its hugging all the wrong places. :)
Cute and Comfortable
This dress will be perfect for casual days at work and evenings with friends in the backyard. I'm 5'6", 120 lbs, and the small is a good fit. I did think that the bottom flared out a little more than what I normally like, but it's still really cute. The length is a little above the knee. The fabric is soft. There is no shelf bra, but the fabric is still pretty substantial.

Friday Open Thread
It's almost April and I'm wondering if I overestimate or underestimate the number of times each day, week, month, year that I think, Where has the fucking time gone, and look around at my my house an explosion of bobby pins and beer bottles, and between White Noah looking for his Sperrys and these chickens mesmerizing me and this sale on at the Beyoncé store it's somehow gotten to be Friday afternoon, and almost April, and time for open thread.
How are you? Unfollowed anyone good lately? Updated your wardrobe for spring, maybe with some human empathy? (Looks good on everyone except witches.) Have you been hiking alone, or doing pull-ups, or singing, or wearing a nun's habit, or both? If you've been hiding in whiskey, we hope you at least brought a bagel; it's what Bill Murray would want you to do. Maybe you've been realizing you were wrong about some music, or right about not really wanting to watch something on TV. Maybe you've gone blonde or written a love poem. You are a jewel in any case. Have a great weekend, and we'll see you back here on Monday.

Stacy Westfall Shows Us How It's Done
English riders can be dismissive of Western riders, and vice versa, but I've never met an equestrian who doesn't think that Stacy Westfall's bridleless, bareback championship freestyle run in 2006 was the very essence of horsemanship.
If you're allergic to country music, go ahead and mute it: for the record, it's dedicated to her dad, who died less than a month before.
