Plano Counseling Associates has a unique guiding philosophy that makes us different from other practices in and around Plano. Our practice isn't just about helping those who are hurting; we help our clients experience more complete and fulfilling lives.
For example:
- Teens struggling with trying to find their place in life, find themselves.
- Clients with Depression experience aren't just relieved of emotional pain, they experience a renewed happiness.
- Clients with Anxiety learn to cultivate peace of mind.
- Clients with Relationship problems begin to build and maintain healthy relationships.
- Clients with Guilt and shame learn to truly forgive themselves, and others as well.
- Clients who struggle with Addiction don't just kick bad habits, they become whole.
Having to wait for your first session is no way to begin a life-changing counseling or life coaching process. You don't have to be in pain to benefit from counseling therapy.
Many of our clients are high achieving, successful individuals and couples. They know, as we want you to know, that ANYONE and EVERYONE has the potential to grow; to become the best person that they can be – to thrive. And that counseling is a useful resource in the pursuit of personal improvement and growth.
Dark times, and hardships of life are part of being human. We all struggle from time to time. To help our clients, we offer Counseling Psychotherapy, Life Coaching, and Professional Consulting for many life-issues.
No Waiting Lists
It's a common misconception that having a waiting list is a sign of a excellent and successful practice. However, in many cases waiting lists are simply the sign of a poorly managed counseling practice. Unfortunately, in Plano, it's not uncommon for persons to wait weeks or even months for a therapy appointment that fits into their busy schedule.
Extended Hours
Monday: 9am-8pm
Tuesday: Call us
Wednesday: 9am-8pm Thursday: 9am-8pm
Friday: 9am-8pm
Saturday: Call us
Sunday: Call us
Why Extended Hours?
Having to wait for your first session is no way to begin a life-changing counseling or life coaching process. If you're ready to get started, you deserve a first session that (A) fits into your time and schedule, and (B) that you don't have to wait in line for.
Plano Counseling Associates has a no waiting list policy. What this means is that we can schedule your first appointment this very week.
We want you to find the help, care, motivation, or information you are looking for. And for us to do just that, call us at 972-808-7422. If we unavailable when you call, please leave us a message and we will call you back the very same day you called. Not ready to call? No problem. You can also email us. If you choose to email, please leave us your phone number and we will contact you within 24 hours. We look forward to meeting you!

On my 50 Pan I run a wide glide front end with the stock mechanical brake. I have NEVER had very good braking with the original equipment and my drum appeared to be warped. If I attempted to tighten up the shoes so that I MIGHT have better braking the wheel was free turning only about half of a revolution. Then it'd be bound up for the remain half of a revolution.
I tried turning the drum a few thousandth's and that seemed to help a little, but still didn't have very good braking and it still bound up about a quarter of the revolution.
SO, I bought a new drum and installed it. MUCH better and it doesn't appear to be out of round, BUT... I still don't have much braking ability even with a brand new set of shoes.
Can anyone tell me a reliable way to get the shoes arc'd to the drum? I saw in one of the other post's where someone suggested taking the shoes and drum to a local auto parts store and that they'd be able to arc them in a few minutes. Has anyone done this? Seems to me that they'd have to have the correct jig to set up your shoes in order to know where they're supposed to be riding inside the drum.
Just my ignorance showing up again...
Thanks, Jeff

Geez, Jay, what gives? One minute you're bragging about chilling (hood-forever-style) with Robert De Niro in Tribeca, next you're letting Bobby ring your phone off the hook without picking up or returning his calls. According to New York Post reports, frustration over a half-dozen (!!) of his calls not getting returned by the Jiggaman caused real-world drama when the two New York icons attended mutual pal Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday party. Jay went over to De Niro's table to pay his regards, but the actor "wasn't in any mood to make polite conversation," quotes a source, who describes the situation as such:
Bob was sitting at a table, and when Jay-Z went over to say hello, De Niro told Jay that he never called him back…He told Jay that if somebody calls you six times, you call them back. It doesn't matter who you are, that is just rude…De Niro kept telling him that he thinks he's the man, but that he was disrespectful. Beyoncé came over, but that didn't calm Bob down.
Wow. When even an ambassador as esteemed as Beyoncé can't broker a peace agreement, you know there's some legitimate bad blood there. The same source (who the Post refers to as a "spy," which is awesome) claims that the unreturned calls were in regards to a song Jay agreed to record for De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival, which never materialized due to Hov never getting back to the actor. "It was the talk of the party," quoth the Post spy. "Everyone was saying there's only one star in New York bigger and badder than Jay-Z, and that's Robert De Niro. He can be quite scary when he's angry."
Yeah, we've seen a couple of those movies before. Shame on a Jigga, really—we hoped Gloria Carter had raised him better than that.

All Systems Are Go!
After a test run last week, Joe Cox's masterpiece, "Color Wall," is ready for it's formal relighting on Sept. 25. Following months of diligent fundraising, the Hillsborough St. landmark underwent an extensive restoration over the summer. The centerpiece of the project was the installation of a Smartswtch digital light sequencing controller. It has been programmed with Cox's original 1972 design for the Color Wall. On Thursday night the restored system was tested for the first time. By all accounts the test was a success.
The relighting will return the Color Wall to its function as public art as an integral part of the Hillsborough St. environment.
After the relighting, the Color Wall will operate daily from sunset to sunrise.

Seagull (and Patrick and Simon) has a new line of Natural Collection. They use natural woods and look pretty. What do people think about this new line and which wood combinations do people like? Wood combinations are spruce with wild cherry, spruce with heart of wild cherry, and cedar with figured maple. They all look nice and I just ordered the dread spruce with heart of wild cherry.
Also, any comments on the sound? I will know when I get mine.
Views: 4786
Yep, that is her!
My CW Mini Jumbo finally arrived. Pulled it from the box and the Seagull bag case and it was in tune. It has a nice robust tone. It was sold as B-Stock, I asked and they said a scratch on the CW. Well, it is marked SF on the sound-hole label. It sounds great, but the finish is something to be desired for a Seagull/Godin. It does not have the nice smooth, shinny finish of my CW Folk Natural Elements. It is actually rough in places. I sent Seagull/Godin an email about the serial number looking for information. My guess is this is a sample model with the last five digits 00001 of the serial number and the headstock differences. Pictures coming below.
These Natural Elements are my first online purchases of guitars. My local shop does not carry Godin and Guitar Center is the only local sources. The Mini Jumbo was the impulse purchase, that is why I ended up with two.
Very nice looking. Keep this guitar pristine for 100 years and it will have collector's value. Add $$$ for the mistake on the headstock. My NE has the word Seagull on the headstock.
Yea, probably not worth the impulse purchase (just can't let my wife know), and I probably over paid since I paid more for it than the CW Folk.
But you have a cedar-topped one and a spruce-topped one - they are not the same - justification! ;-)
My justification is I did not have a Mini Jumbo, though my goal was SWS Mini Jumbo. All my others are ceder top (S6 and Parlor). I don't perform just play for fun, so my guitar collection is out of my love for Seagull. My last "performance" was Valentines Day play when we did a Taylor Swift sing along love song day (I teach fifth grade.) Now I hear the sound of the group disowning me.
Customer service just contacted me with "That's a Seagull Natural Elements Natural Cherry CW Mini Jumbo AC1.5T. It was actually the first one built!"

FRAME|WORK is a weekly blog series that highlights an artwork in the Museums' permanent collections. This week, we feature an ancient terracotta drinking vessel in the shape of a lion from Turkey, currently on view at the Legion of Honor.

In 1996 construction workers accidentally uncovered a mosaic while widening a road in the modern Israeli town of Lod, near Tel Aviv. A preliminary excavation immediately conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) revealed that three feet below the modern surface there was a mosaic floor dating to about AD 300. The three most complete and impressive panels from the floor are on view at the Legion of Honor through July 24.

This seasoned reader is having a what's-it-all-about-Alfie moment. He took a large party to a restaurant and left a ginormous tip. He feels the server took more than he needed to give. Sing along.
Nancy, I took a group of 18 out for a celebration. We hired drivers so we could party. I'd prearranged some of the appetizers with the restaurant, but I let everybody order away. I paid the bill. A couple of days later, I looked at the statement and I realized I'd tipped 25 percent and the restaurant had already added an 18 percent service charge. Should the server had told me gratuity was already included when he picked up the signed check or am I just an idiot?

After arriving back home from New York on Sunday night (late) my next tasks were to sleep and wake up super-early to write some lecture notes on various approaches to treating diffraction (vectorized Kirchhoff integrals and so forth) for my class, and to grade several weeks of homework assignments…. all before the day's guest (Howie Haber from UC Santa Cruz) arrived to visit and give us a departmental colloquium entitled "The Higgs Boson Unleashed". It was great, and included discussion of new results from the LHC announced just last week. Then there was dinner in one of the excellent new downtown restaurants where I seem to have become a regular (nice to be remembered by the wait staff sometimes).
Today I must think about what I'm going to say in a colloquium I must give at Cal State Long Beach on Monday… But before then I think I need to have a slow day as I've really not stopped being in extreme headlong motion on various projects and deadlines for over three weeks now.
Of course, I do try to create moments of quiet whenever I can. It is important to me. Sketching practice helps. I'd taken my watercolour pencils and little portable fillable brush with me to New York, and got a few opportunities to do some experiments. Above left is a guy who was catching forty winks on the subway. This was while I rode the Q train to Park Slope neighbourhood in Brooklyn. (The drawing was done quickly with a ballpoint pen, and the watercolour started on the spot, but finished while waiting for an omelette to arrive at the excellent AOC bistro (no relation to the AOC restaurant that I love in LA – It has been a while since I've been, come to think of it). I'd an understanding dining companion…)

Denton Food Truck Festival A Success!
It as always seemed to me that Denton would be a great location for food trucks. There are others, like City Councilman Kevin Roden who agree with me and he has worked for months to open Denton laws to allow the trucks to operate. From following Councilman Roden on Twitter, I have come to see that he is also a supporter of community space and sustainable transportation. Last night, all of those visions came together in one of the best food truck festival I have attended.
A-Train Friday Night Operation, eight trucks set up at the Downtown Transit Center for the evening. People were encouraged to ride the A-Train, enjoy the food and see what Denton was about. All week, I have been talking to the trucks that were participating and no one could predict the turn out. The weather was going to be cold, the location was new and everyone was unsure. Unsure of how many people to prep for, unsure if there were enough or not enough trucks scheduled, unsure of how the weather would hold.
Along with the attendees, the truck owners were thrilled with the event. Two sold out at about 8:30 and most of the rest were at sell-out or very close by the end of the event. The owners I spoke to, both at the event and afterwards were as happy as I have ever seen then. They enjoyed the crowd, they enjoyed meeting new people, and they really appreciated the people who drove in from other communities just to see the trucks.
If there is one area where people may have a negative comment, it would be that there should have been more trucks serving. Shiitake Swerve and Bombay Chopstix were on the list of trucks attending. Shiitake Swerve is a brand new, Denton based truck and I believe this would have been their very first day of service. Like all new truck roll-outs the schedule must have been delayed because they were not there. I don't know why Bombay Chopstix was not in attendance With these two trucks, the line-up would have been ideal. But, with all truck events, you are at the mercy of truck operations, trucks break down or cannot serve, for various reasons, through no fault of the event planner and usually without enough notice to schedule another truck.
But overwhelmingly a great event! Well done Councilman Roden, well done Denton, well done Crazy Fish, Gandolfo's, Rockstar Bakeshop, Three Lions, Rock & Roll Tacos, The Butcher's Son, Cup-Cakin and The Pickled Carrot! I hope this is the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial relationship, its obvious the citizens of Denton and the surrounding communities hope so too!

I've begun to translate the first 1,5 pages here: http://codepad.org/hML0LYe1 (LaTeX code)
We should assign in this thread page numbers to persons who translate them and in the end merge everything together.

Michael Stutes will never forget his first pitch in the majors.
Chris Young stepped into the box for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who held a 4-0 advantage, in the top of the ninth. Stutes delivered the first pitch of the inning, a 92 mph fastball from the windup and Young turned on the pitch, sending a towering fly ball to deep left field. Luckily for Stutes, Young just missed, giving Raul Ibanez barely enough room to make the catch. No doubt Stutes was worried for a second, only before chuckling and returning to the rubber.
The rest of the inning went very smoothly for the 24-year-old. Next up was Kelly Johnson, who struck out swinging, followed by Justin Upton, who popped up to Ryan Howard behind first base for the third out. The right-hander needed only nine pitches to record a one-two-three ninth.
Stutes, an IronPig until Monday, had his contract selected by the Phillies after Jose Contreras was placed on the 15-day disabled list over the weekend. In his time with Lehigh Valley this season, Stutes was 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA through 10 innings pitched. The Oregon State product recorded 14 strikeouts and one save.

Groovy Date Functions
By Tim Dexter-Oracle on Sep 16, 2009
Multiple questions lately on working with dates, how can I work out the number of days between two dates? How can I create a list of consecutive dates, the list goes on. I have mentioned the lack of native date support in BIP ... it still uses a hybrid of XSL1.0 and 2.0, that's a whole other story.
To plug some of those gaps there are a bunch of data functions that are available now, couple of the more interesting ones can help to answer the two questions above.
There is an extension function you can use, from the javadoc and as Leslie has reminded me, the user docs:
public static long date_diff( format, fromDate, toDate, locStr, tzID)
Method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only Gregorian calendar.
format - the format to which the difference is required; allowed formats are y (for Year), m(for month), w(for week), d(for day), h(for hour), mi(for minute), s(for seconds) and ms(for milliseconds)
fromDate - the first date
toDate - the second date
locStr - locale string -> lang-Territory
tzID - timezone ID ->http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html
the difference in dates in the desired format
For example
<?xdoxslt:date_diff('d','2009-09-14', '2009-09-20','en-US',1)?>
gives a result of 6!
You can substitute in columns for the dates, just remember the date format required.
The other question deals with generating a list of consecutive dates. Could solve it with a nice recursive template function, bleeeuuch! BIP has a nice 'for...next' loop function. Gotta thank 'Vetsrini' for jumping on this in the forum.
Hello - <?position()?> = <?xdoxslt:sysdate() + position()?> = <?xdoxslt:ora_format_date_offset('2009-06-03',position(), '+')?>
The first line is the for...next loop, specifically the xdoxslt:foreach_number($_XDOCTX,2,10,1) command. By the numbers, 2 is our starting point, 10 is the stopping point and 1 is the step. Any of these can be substituted with column data values.
We have the loop to generate the list of numbers, now we want to generate consecutive dates by adding each number to a date. The following command
<?xdoxslt:ora_format_date_offset('2009-06-03',position(), '+')?>
does the business. We are starting with a fixed date (XSD format) but you could equally use a column value.
Running the command gives us:
Hello - 1 = 90917 = 2009-06-02T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 2 = 90918 = 2009-06-03T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 3 = 90919 = 2009-06-04T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 4 = 90920 = 2009-06-05T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 5 = 90921 = 2009-06-06T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 6 = 90922 = 2009-06-07T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 7 = 90923 = 2009-06-08T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 8 = 90924 = 2009-06-09T00:00:00.000+00:00
Hello - 9 = 90925 = 2009-06-10T00:00:00.000+00:00
Cool huh? Yep, you get long XSD date formats, but you can format those quite easily.
Groovy Baby!

On or about April 9, 2014 Geobeats shared their video report on unmanned Navy helicopters and their railgun development. Unlike an unmanned drone the Navy's unmanned helicopters do not need constant command and control. Chief of Naval Research Rear Admiral Matthew Klunder states that the unmanned helicopter can be controlled by an electronic tablet. The coordinates for the landing position are entered into the tablet and the helicopter flies directly there. The final destination can be "any location" desired without preparation.
The unmanned choppers have been under a 5 year $100 million dollar development program. As the video states they may be used to drop supplies or perform rescue missions. According to Jennifer Griffin's Fox News article cited in the video report the new unmanned vehicle can handle cargo up to 5000 pounds. The Navy has previously developed lighter payload bearing unmanned choppers before the latest development - the Fire Scout. Today's topical vehicle is known as the AACUS - Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility System. As reported on Navy Live the Robocopter has been successfully tested twice.
The other Navy device reported in the video is the electromagnetic railgun. Those who recall the Reagan Administration may remember "The Star Wars Initiative". One of the concepts under development then was the railgun - though the concept is cited as being older than that. Somewhat like the old Administration's concept the new one is designed to stop missile attacks. The current project has been under development for 10 years at a price of about $240 million. A further demonstration of the awesome power of the EM Railgun is seen on the Navy's YouTube Channel video.
Apparently testing of the EM Railgun has taken the Navy to almost full deployment. The EMR will be deployed on a non-combat vessel known as the JHSV - the Joint High Speed Vessel. Like yesterday's energy weapon (LaWS - The Laser Weapon System) Admiral Klunder describes them as "the future of naval combat". When fully operational, the EM Railgun is expected to launch multi-mission projectiles to a distance of 100 nautical miles. That should be a surprise to just about any enemy combatant.

Seward County freshman libero Kelci Bedingfield made school history
Tuesday as she was named the Jayhawk West Defensive Player of the Week,
the first time in program history a player has won the award.
In its first year of existence, the Defensive Player of the Week award
went to Bedingfield this week after the Holiday, Texas native had
another big match for the Lady Saints Wednesday, helping Seward comeback
from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Barton 3-2 on the road. The Lady Saints
rookie libero finished with a match high 29 digs in the five set win.
With the performance, she has now recorded 18 or more digs in three
straight starts.
Bedingfield and the Lady Saints will return to the court Wednesday at
home in the Greenhouse as they take on Colby at 6:30 in a key Jayhawk
West battle with the Trojans.

John McDonald 'Despisers of the body' may be overcome by moral panic, but for most viewers a Henson nude provokes stronger feelings of melancholy than eros.
For those still trying to equate photographs depicting legal children without thier clothes as art . If you dont want to see our courts filled with teens using "It's ART" as their defence for sending photos taken on phones or cams of themselves or other children , then you have to understand that legally taking and displaying photographs of nude children is pedophilia . turning around and saying "he is so misunderstood" just doesnt cut it . have you all forgotten how underbelly , for all it is a screenplay with similarities to real life , wasnt able to harness the "It's ART" defence . our laws may not please all of you , but they are the best we have to protect our children from people who may harbour much more dangerous desires which can be fed from publishing naked pictures of children . do you really want to encourage THEM ?
....Henson's images are testimonies to that quality Nietzsche calls the "great intelligence" of the body. In simple, mute images, unencumbered with pseudo-intellectual claptrap, they show us bodies that effortlessly conjure up thoughts of the soul and the self...."John McDonald"
Thanks John, clearly you are a deep and wise art critic - no pseudo intellectual claptrap from you - Just plain Claptrap. But written so intelligently!
Once again the artistically intelligent are trying to scare anyone from saying a negative word - accusing them of being unintelligent and unable to appreciate "real art".
John - in a democracy - we are all allowed to have an opinion - and photos of nude children are just that.
Stop attempting to squash feedback by creating fear please.
We are all allowed an opinion John.
I was also at the opening. Same old Henson stuff.
When your an artist if you do the same thing every time it gets boring. Change it up Bill ! Think of a new idea !
And just a suggestion, maybe it's not a good idea to take photos of naked underage girls ? Just a suggestion.........
For me, the problem is not about issues with 'forbidden desires' or dispising the naked body. It is the issue of responsibility. Could the body, soul and self be displayed with models that are over 18? If not, why not?
Concerns about about young people or even children, that are encouraged by there parents to participate in this art, boil down to, the exploitation of the child by selfish parents. For me, it is the art worlds equivalent to 'Australia has got Talent' Society despises parents that force kids to participate in beauty contests The obvious ego issues of the parent, and the exploitation of someone that isn't old enough to fully make an informed decision is repulsive. The desire for exposure appears paramount to anything else.
If the exposure of young adolescents or even children by Hanson was used as a defense by pedophiles, would society think the benefits out way the costs. I would hope not. I assume Hanson's intention is not exploit, but if it prolongs the torture of a child even for one second, then for me, it should be banned. It is a question of relevance and responsibility, not conservative views about nudity and art.
Adults, and societies paramount responsibility should be to protect children. Hanson's supporters desires to view the pictures should never be more important than the rights of the child. Can they easily find the same meaning in other forms of art? And can Hanson use other subjects to get his message across.?
I've got to love that. People who are panicked or dislike the exhibition are now "despisers of the body".
No. I love the human body.
I despise the sexualism of the adolescent form - and to defend it with such a pathetic mantra is moronic.
I don't understand it - one cannot share a child's naked photo - purely innocent without being charged with distribution of child pornorgraphy. One cannot, as a teen, distribute photos of themselves to their lover without being charged with child pornography. One can photograph nudes, of people they have no relationship with, distribute those photos, to unknown people - possibly to thousands, market it as art, and you will be defended with the "that is art" defence?
How has this guy not been indicted and put on the child pornography/paedophile list?
Simply beyond words.
I mean, what does that photo look like to you?
Henson got away with it over the years and is pissing himself laughing, and is getting more and more graphic with these images.
I think it's disengenuous to paint anyone who criticises the use of underaged models for nude photography as hysterical moralisers or 'despisers of the body'. Most people agree that there's nothing wrong with nudity or sexuality but it's something that is deeply personal, particularly at such a vulnerable stage of development.The issue is a simple matter of consent. Children's bodies and sexuality don't belong to us to contemplate and muse over without their consent - something a child simply can't give as a fully imformed and aware adult can. I don't think that artists are immune from ethics just because they're artists. And I don't think that any adult has the right to ask this of a child. See the now adult daughters of the artist Larry Rivers for a case in point. "I don't want it out there in the world" says it all. Unfortunately, they had and have no choice in the matter, all because "it's art".
That Caravaggio may influence the darkness and light of some of these images only just occurred to me. Love it.
At last!!! Some intelligence around the whole Henson issue. And how refreshing to have a State Premier "stand and deliver", on the side challenging art. As John says, it will be interesting to hear our new leader reacts!
Thank you John, for a considered and insightful article. I do believe any reader who has previously been unsure about the art/pornography dilemma will have enough content here to make their own informed decision. BRAVO.
Hear hear. I enjoyed your keen observation and sage consideration of the issues at stake. Thank you for refreshing honesty amd inspirating courage - a great start to the week.
Henson, by his own admission, is fascinated with the emerging sexuality of adolescence and explores this in his pictures. True 'grown-ups' are aware that adolescent sexuality is something for adolescents to explore themselves, not for adults to explore in order to sate their curiosity or exploit to fuel their own fascination.
Further, the potential exploitation of children is seen by most not as a moral issue, but as an ethical (and consequently legal) one.
Henson's supporters would like to believe that this is a battle between enlightened lovers of art and a religious right mired in a dark ages mindset, but it is they who are over-simplifying this issue. That attitude shows a distinct lack of intellectual rigour and an inability to consider the issues with the level of ethical responsibility that an enlightened adult would.
Far from despising the human body, I and many others have no problem with nudity in art but are concerned with the potential exploitation and sexualisation of children, even if the work has artistic merit.
As for Henson's current show, I haven't seen it so I am not qualified to rate it. Ordinarily I would not comment in this context, but as the reviewer spent at least half of the review opining on the concept of Henson's work rather than the show itself, I feel justified in addressing the same.

According to details shared online, 2 pit bulls were abandoned by Corey Harrison, a 27 year old who had been a resident at Willow Creek apartments in Midwest City, Oklahoma where the dogs were discovered in an otherwise empty apartment.
An apartment manager was reported to have called the police when the 2 dogs were discovered after Corey Harrison moved from the apartment. Harrison is reported to have said he checked on the dogs and knew there was something wrong with them.
While no one is sure why Corey Harrison moved all of his items from the apartment and left the dogs behind when he moved, he allegedly is the owner of the abandoned pit bulls. The pit bulls needed emergency medical attention and were taken to vet for treatment. Harrison told the police the dogs were going to be moved to his new unit once they were cleaned up.
Corey Harrison was living in the unit where the dogs were found in that apartment complex and following a fire, relocated and there was no power in the apartment where the dogs were left.
Abusing an animal is now a federal offense. Harrison has been charged by the Oklahoma County District Attorney with two animal cruelty charges, however he had not been arrested as of the report.

Arianna Huffington Consolidating Power at AOL [Updated]
The Huffington Post has been a bright spot for AOL, so she's doing some more taking over.
Since buying the Huffington Post for more than $300 million just over a year ago, the site has been a bright spot for AOL, whose own online properties aren't exactly thriving. Arianna Huffington, on the other hand, has seen traffic for the Huffington Post Media Group, of which she is president and editor-in-chief, go up, and so she's leveraging that power now. The New York Times reports today that Huffington will take over the technology, business development, marketing, and communications parts of the company that were previously reporting to different departments within AOL. And no one's going to stop her.
AOL CEO Tim Armstrong recently had his contract extended through 2016, and may very well owe that to Huffington's successes (though his acquisition did make that possible). In public, Huffington is at least a team player, telling the Times, "We could not have possibly had the growth we've had without the help of AOL," and insisting there's no plan to spin-off HuffPo.
Asked about Huffington's well-known ambitious streak earlier this year, Armstrong praised her "special sauce" and said, "When you bring superstars in, it's easy to conjecture that there's going to be some massive power struggle. In reality, one of my core skill strengths is that I'm O.K. playing on an all-star team. My job, as coach and captain, is to bring in multiple Michael Jordans." Right now, he seemingly has one Jordan, and better keep her happy.
Update: Business Insider sees the changes at AOL as a "demotion" for Arianna.
For example, Huffington no longer has oversight over TechCrunch, Engadget, Moviephone, Stylist, AOL Video, or, most importantly, AOL.com. Combined, those sites – recently removed from Huffington's portfolio – account for audience more than 50 million people strong.
However, "[Huffington] is really happy with what's going on," says an anonymous source. "She's feeling more liberated, being able to exert her leadership across a wider array of stuff. The truth is that AOL is slow and plodding and sclerotic. Arianna is trying to break free from that."

Authorities believe that Moering was attempting to flee Arizona at the time of his arrest after they found him with a one-way Greyhound bus ticket for an out-of-state student, according to police.
Moering is being held at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office jail on a one million dollar bond.

SCR: Was there any hesitation in the fact you might have taken on more than you could handle?
Johnson: No. The plan for the No. 48 Lowe's team is for the future. We are all relatively young guys on this team, and we are still learning and growing. It just happened that the fit was perfect, and we had success right from the start. However, this team was built for the future, and we'll only get better with time and experience.
SCR: On the other side of that, how personally satisfying has it been for you to not only race, but also beat veteran and champion drivers on a regular basis in making a name for yourself?
Johnson: It's weird to be racing alongside of guys and beating guys that were my idols growing up. Last season in Darlington, I was coming off pit road with the No. 88 behind me, and we all know how good Dale Jarrett is at Darlington. We got going and I just thought to myself, "here we go because D.J. is going to eat me up." Three laps into that run, I looked in my rearview mirror and I was pulling away from him. I was amazed, and I think that was one instance when I started building some confidence in the fact that I could run with guys like Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Dale Jarrett on a regular basis.
SCR: How much of a job has it been trying to satisfy everybody from the media to all the folks who pay the bills?
Johnson: It's a full-time job being a driver. You just have to create a structure or routine that allows you to take care of everything. Mondays are my days off. Tuesdays, I have a media conference call. Wednesdays, I do laundry, pay bills, etc. and do media or sponsor activities if necessary. Thursdays, I travel to the races. Then, we are into the race weekend and that is filled with racing, sponsor activities, charity events, etc. You really have to make time for things because if you don't, it will never happen.
SCR: How much time do you get to spend with your family now that you're a busy Winston Cup superstar?
Johnson: I'm not sure about the superstar tag there, but it's very challenging to spend time with them. Shortly after I started racing in the Busch Series, my family moved from California to North Carolina. My father drives my motor coach to virtually every race and my mom works on my fan club. So they are still very much involved in my life. My little brother, Jessie, drives a Bandolero, and my middle brother, Jarit, is his crew chief and spends a lot of time building and fine-tuning the car. Jessie races Tuesday nights at Lowe's Motor Speedway, so when I'm in town on a Tuesday, it's a safe bet that I'll be there supporting both of them and helping out in any way possible. Besides that, we all live about five miles away from each other, so we try and get together as much as possible.
SCR: What is one thing most race fans don't know about Jimmie Johnson that they might find interesting?
Johnson: People would be surprised to know that I'm just an average person who has a really cool job. I still do laundry, pay bills, wash dishes, do yard work--all the same things that everyone else has to do. Many people think that as drivers, we have people that do all of the things, but many of us don't. We're just the average next door neighbors.

Nickolas Rossi's "Heaven Adores You" is getting ready to join the countless other documentaries currently available about musical talent who left us far too soon. This film, focused on the life and music of Elliott Smith, will be premiering at this year's San Francisco International Film Festival. Funding for the film came via a Kickstarter campaign from 2011.
"Heaven Adores You" is in good company this year when it comes to films based on the lives of rock stars who left us far too soon. Also coming out this year is "Soaked In Bleach", in which Daniel Roebuck portrays real life PI Tom Grant, who was hired to investigate the death of Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain. This year will mark the 20th anniversary of Cobain's death. Smith may not have the same size fan base, but his fans are just as dedicated to the man's works years after his passing.
Smith's own death in October 21, 2003 is still shrouded in controversy. To most of the world, the troubled artist committed suicide, but the official autopsy report was seen as inconclusive and could not officially label his death as such. Many fans continue to accuse his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba, of wielding the knife that took his life, but nothing conclusive has come of these accusations.
The documentary "Heaven Adores You" will likely touch upon Smith's death, but it will not be the focus. According to the Kickstarter page, this documentary will cover the influence Smith's emotionally charged and lyrically honest music has had on its fans as well as fellow musicians. It will also talk about Smith's works in the world of music, which spanned many albums, several of them released posthumously.
"Heaven Adores You" will feature songs by Smith that have been unheard up to this point as well as personal photographs of the artist and video footage of Smith thought lost until now. Producer Kevin Moyer created the film with Smith's own friends and past musical partners, who gave him permission to use the rather sensitive material.
The San Francisco International Film Festival takes place between Apr. 24 and May 8. The possibility of "Heaven Adores You" receiving further theatrical release has not been discussed publicly.

Weissenhof Estate
In 1925, the Deutscher Werkbund (German Work Federation) commissioned Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to organise the exhibition "Die Wohnung" (the flat). The show, opened in 1927, was organised into four sections with the Weißenhof Estate being the most significant field of experimentation for new materials and construction methods. In this prototype housing estate, 17 European architects, among them Le Corbusier, Jacobus Oud, Hans Scharoun, Walter Gropius, Mart Stam and Peter Behrens, built 21 buildings with a total of 60 flats. Mies participated with a four-storey residential block of four row houses. In the 12 rental units, which Mies had arranged and furnished by 29 interior designers, he realised the concept of a flexible floor plan for the first time, facilitated by the use of moveable dividing walls in a skeleton construction.

"Can't be done." Snorting laughter. Disbelief. These were the reactions from my friends and family to the news that I was taking a vow of silence. Truth be told, taciturn is an adjective that's never once been used to describe me. I've always felt that while listening is great, it takes precious time away from what I really want to be doing, which is talking. Even so, between my personal duties as the wrangler of a teenager and my professional opinionating on television, I can find myself inured to the sound of my own voice. The challenge I had set myself—to be completely silent for 48 hours—was going to be exacerbated by a daily schedule packed with activities in which verbal interaction is not only expected but practically required.
I hung a sign on a lanyard around my neck announcing "I've taken a vow of silence. It's for my sanity, not for a religion" and headed out to my weekly cardio-tennis class. In recent years, my game has been diminished by a rotator cuff injury, so in place of skill I routinely lob colorful expletives. But without my auditory armor, I was forced to experience just how much I sucked. I left the court smarting. It felt as though I'd had a facial peel so penetrating that my rawest emotions were brought to the surface.
At home, my husband seemed elated to be spared my housekeeping dictums. Fifteen years of marriage will do that to you. He was practically skipping as he left his shoes, pants, crumpled-up receipts, the odd wine cork and assorted detritus in his wake. But it was my teenage son who threw down the gauntlet. He was determined to break me—which is ironic, because ever since the hormones started kicking in this year, he spends on average at least every other minute of every waking hour plotting ingenious ways to avoid discourse with me.
First, he called me on his cell phone to say he'd been kidnapped. I simply couldn't resist texting back, "Great news. Ask them to call me when you turn 18." This positively infuriated him. I am planning on archiving the explosive tirade of invectives he left on my voice mail so I can replay them when I start to miss him after he leaves for college in a few years. But it was only after the declaration of an impending hunger-and-homework strike failed to achieve the desired response that he threatened to set his hair on fire.
We squared off. The knowledge that I was barred from uttering a word gave me the grace to do something I have never managed in 13 years of parenting: I ignored his provocation. My son fixed me with a steely expression, pointed a pair of scissors at his flaxen tresses, snipped, dangled and then deposited his precious cargo directly into the flame of a lit candle. One single hair. Thank you, vow of silence, for teaching me that though my offspring has a flair for the dramatic, his lunacy has limits. Sure, my son went to bed at 12:30 am and failed to finish his required reading, and it appeared as though a fraternity had taken up residence in our home, but the world didn't stop spinning on its axis. I felt rested, even energetic, in the morning.

KanzentaiGuide Database / Databook Guide / Non-Daizenshuu Volumes /
DragonBall Anime Illustration Collection
The Golden Warrior
|Back to Non-Daizenshuu Volumes
|The Golden Warrior Contents
Here we will take a look at the DragonBall Anime Illustration Collection, "The Golden Warrior". The book's dust cover was drawn by veteran animator Nakatsuru Katsuyoshi, who was also interviewed in the book. Although it may not be noticeable, the darker parts of Super Saiyan Goku's hair on the dust cover are a reflective gold color, emphasizing the book's title. When the dust cover is removed, the softcover is revealed to be Goku's dougi with his "Go" kanji symbol. The front of the dougi corresponds to the front of the book, and the same is true with the back of the book.
Unlike most DragonBall books, it does not come with a fold-out poster. However, the first two pages feature a beautiful photograph of a chinese lake with mountains in the background which is said to be the inspiration for the place where Goku lived before he met Bulma (Mt. Paozu). From there the book is split up into three sections, one covering each anime series (DB, DBZ/Kai, and GT), with the movie illustrations included with their respective series. The book's content focuses mostly on Son Goku, but there are some non-Goku illustrations included. To wrap things up, three interviews can be found throughout the book, all of which were conducted with character designers from each series.
|DragonBall / DragonBall The Movies
|Fierce Fighting
|DragonBall Z / DragonBall Kai / DragonBall The Movies
|DragonBall GT
|DragonBall Back Then
|Charater Designer Maeda Minoru Interview
|DragonBall / DragonBall Z
The first interview included in the book is with Maeda Minoru, the chief animator and character designer for both DragonBall and DragonBall Z. Maeda has drawn cover illustrations for many of the DragonBall guide books, including all of the "DragonBall Z Anime Special" guide illustrations. Interestly, he notes in the interview that he once stayed at Toriyama's house to have Toriyama teach him how to draw Kame-sennin properly.
|Character Designer Yamamuro Tadayoshi Interview
|DragonBall Z
The second interview is with Yamamuro Tadayoshi, an animation supervisor and character designer for DragonBall Z. He is responsible for all of the Dragon Box individual disc cover art, the DragonBall Jump Super Anime Tour promotional illustration and character designs, the new DragonBall Kai opening and ending animations, and was the character designer for the last six DragonBall Z movies. Believe it or not, Yamamuro notes in the interview that he was once a Shaolin monk.
|Character Designer Nakatsuru Katsuyoshi Interview
|DragonBall Z / DragonBall GT
The third, and final, interview in the book is with Nakatsuru Katsuyoshi, the main character designer for DragonBall GT, although he was also quite heavily involved in DragonBall Z. He is responsible for all of the Dragon Box artwork with the exception of the movies box, this book's cover illustration, and the character design for Super Saiyan 4. In fact, Nakatsuru notes in the interview that he had originally designed the Super Saiyan 4 transformation to have golden hair, but felt that black hair went better with the red fur. Also of note is that Nakatsuru is known for almost perfectly mimicking Toriyama's art style. So much so that Toriyama has even mentioned in interviews that he often cannot tell whether he was the one that drew a specific illustration or if it was really Nakatsuru.

Paul Motian: Just One of Those Things
Just One Of Those Things
Paul Motian (drums)
On Broadway, Vol. 3 (JMT 849 157)
Paul Motian (drums), Joe Lovano (tenor sax), Bill Frisell (guitar), Lee Konitz (alto sax), Charlie Haden (bass).
Composed by Cole Porter.
Recorded: New York, August 1991
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
When Paul Motian decided to reread the Broadway repertoire on a long-term basis, he was not driven by nostalgia. A musician like him, who has been considered a modernist over the last 50 years, had to have something new to say about these standards. Indeed, the sound of his trio with Frisell and Lovano was already that of a group of individuals with their own sense of phrasing and improvisation. Adding a second horn and a bass to this unusual trio could have transformed it into an almost "normal" quintet. But, with Konitz and Haden, it instead multiplied the possibilities of interaction between strong personalities who avoid clichés, and put their mark on a song that never sounded so young and fresh.
