Here come The Beatles to a theater near you!
Soon, The Beatles will again be seen on the big screen at a theater near you. One film, the fully-restored 1968 psychedelic masterpiece, "Yellow Submarine," will be released to theatres nationwide from May 5 through June 7 as a showcase for the animation classic's June 5 splash release on DVD and Blu-Ray. The film will play throughout SoCal and much of the U.S., from May 10-19. For theaters in your neck of the woods and other information, go to www.YellowSubmarineTheMovie.com.
The second film hitting your megaplex is a new one, sort of. Professionally filmed footage of The Fab Four's first American concert, on February 11, 1964 at the Washington Center in our nation's capitol before 8,000 screaming Beatlemanicas, two days after the group's first of three "Ed Sullivan Show" appearances, has existed online for eons.
However, recently discovered footage and that historic first American trip is the subject of a new documentary with the slightly misleading title, ""The Beatles: The Lost Concert." Aside from the 12-song half-hour long performance, the doc features interviews with Chuck Berry, Aerosmith's Joe Perry and Steven Tyler, and quite a few others. The film will hit 450 big screens across the country on May 17 and 22. See www.LostBeatlesConcert.com for more details.
Is Bill Wyman rejoining The Rolling Stones?
The rumor mill is rampant with reports that The Rolling Stones' founding bassist Bill Wyman will rejoin the band from which he retired in December 1992 for the group's 50 th anniversary events next year. ContactMusic.com quotes Keith Richards, 68, as saying he believes the 75-year-old Wyman is up for a reunion with his mates.
Drummer Charlie Watts, 70, has told the rest of the band that he will no longer be joining them on any worldwide tours, but he's comfortable with recording sessions and a few shows. Richards and fellow guitarist Ron Wood, 64, have both confirmed that the band is in an undisclosed recording studio to try out new song ideas. However, no 50 th anniversary plans have yet been divulged.
Bobby Vee has Alzheimer's Early
'60 s pop superstar Bobby Vee, 69, possessor of 38 Hot 100 singles,including ten that made the Top 20, posted on his website that he was diagnosed with early stages Alzheimer's a year ago. Karen Veline, Vee's wife of 48 years, is also ill and is on the waiting list for a lung transplant, according to Billboard.
Universal Jazz Day Universal Jazz Day was celebrated in the United Nation's General Assembly Hall in New York City with performances by Tony Bennett and Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis,Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Robert Cray, and Angelique Kidjo. Jones said, "Jazz-that's America's only true indigenous art form. It's our classical music, you've got to remember that. It's the heart and soul of American music and we can't afford to let it slip into obscurity."
Pink Floyd's Waters is king of South America Former Pink Floyd singer-bassist mastermind Roger Waters' 30 th anniversary tour for Floyd's epic 2-LP, "The Wall," was seen by more than 750,000 fans in 15 concerts in South America, breaking the all-time attendance record for a tour on that continent, according to Live Nation.
In addition, the 68-year-old Waters has relentless tour the Unites States, performing 150 concerts here that have grossed more than $200 million and he's got dozens more on tap, including "Wall" dates on May 13 at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego and a biggie on May 19 at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Dylan to receive Presidential Medal of Freedom
President Obama will present 70-year-old Bob Dylan with the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony at the White House later this spring.
Among the ten other honorees are former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, retired Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens, Israeli President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres,Pulitzer-Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison, Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, and civil rights and women's advocate Dolores Huerta.
Another amazing Robin Gibb update
Not only has Robin Gibb emerged from a 12-day coma brought on by a bout of pneumonia, but the 62-year-old former Bee Gees' singer is about to be discharged from the central London hospital to which he's been confined for nearly a month, according to London's Sunday Mirror. "He can't wait to go out into the garden with our dogs Ollie and Missie, but it's going to be a long time before he's strong enough to do that," his wife, Dwina, told Hello! Magazine. Because his muscles have atrophied, he is re-learning to walk.
Gibb is reported to be sitting up on the edge of his bed and talking. It was only a week ago that his family were preparing for the probable end of his lengthy battle with colon and liver cancer.
Upon awakening he complained of back pain from lying in the same position for nearly two weeks, and asked for a bowl of ice cream.
George Jones still recovering
Eighty-year-old country music legend, George Jones is still recovering from an upper respiratory ailment. So, he's cancelled all his upcoming shows through May 2, according to a statement from his publicist. The singer posted a video on his website thanking fans for their prayers and support and said that he was on his way back, "for sure."
In the video, he also apologized to the fans for the recent allegations by his daughter and new son-in-law, for, "putting so many bad things about me on the Internet and on Facebook." He added, "None of them are true. It's all about money." His daughter Georgette responded on Twitter,disputing Jones' allegations.
Will Journey reunite with Steve Perry?
Guitarist Neal Schon, 58, tells Huffington Post that he's open to another reunion with now-63-year-old Steve Perry, the group's singer during its multi-platinum era, 1978-96. Perry has been mostly retired since leaving the band.
However, Schon does have a stipulation. Schon says that if Perry wants to return to the fold he'll have to share the stage with Filipino Arnel Pineda, who was lead singer on Journey's 2008 Top 5 platinum-selling comeback CD, "Revelation," and "Eclipse," that was released last May and hit No. 13 on Billboard's Hot 100 album chart.
"Who can say never?," explained Schon. "If the situation ever came up, I thin it would be both of them. And I think it would be at the point where it's a farewell tour-and we're done. That's the appropriate way to go about it."

On his way home from St. Louis to this place, a distance of 2000 miles, I travelled with this gentleman, on the steamer Yellow-Stone; and saw him step ashore (on a beautiful prairie, where several thousands of his people were encamped), with a complete suit en militaire, a colonel's uniform of blue, presented to him by the President of the United States, with a beaver hat and feather, with epaulettes of goldwith sash and belt, and broad sword; with high-heeled bootswith a keg of whiskey under his arm, and a blue umbrella in his hand (Letters and Notes, vol. 1, p. 56; vol. 2, pl. 27172).
Catlin first painted The Light in St. Louis, when the latter was en route to Washington in the fall of 1831, as an official guest of the Secretary of War. The two met again next spring on the upriver voyage of the Yellowstone, and Catlin watched The Light debark from the steamboat at Fort Union, where he was scarcely recognized by the members of his own tribe. Astonishment and disbelief gradually turned into fear and hostility as The Light recounted his travel experiences, and in time he was killed by a young Indian who could not comprehend what was probably an accurate description of a building in Washington (see Ewers, 1968).
As far as Catlin was concerned, the episode illustrated the tragic gulf between Indian culture and white civilization, and he traced the steps of The Light's downfall through many pages of Letters and Notes (vol. 1, pp. 5557; vol. 2, pp. 194200).
The subject is not included in the 1837 catalogue, but does appear in the Egyptian Hall catalogue of January 1840, indicating that it was painted in the interval. Catlin has finished both figures with unusual care, and The Light in uniform, whose swagger and vanity are an amusing change from a long line of stoic chiefs, is one of the artist's most successful characters.
The subject is repeated in plate 25 of Catlin's North American Indian Portfolio, first published in 1844; in plate 52 of the Gilcrease Souvenir album; and in cartoon 83.

The U.S. is officially the world's capital for spam-spewing zombified computers after taking top spot on the 2013 Dirty Dozen Spampionship league table.
Security software firm Sophos has revealed the results of the top spam-relaying nations. Once again it was the U.S. which collected the title, generating 14.5 percent of the total spam volume sent.
However, the gap to second place narrowed, with China reemerging as a major player in the spam sending Dirty Dozen, leaping from 4.6 percent to 8.2 percent, while Russia's spam contribution edged up from 3.0 percent in Q3 to 5.5 percent.
The Dirty Dozen results were compiled to show where in the world are the origins of the greatest volumes of spam during the final three months of last year. Sophos senior security analyst Paul Ducklin said the most obvious message of the Dirty Dozen charts was that the problem of zombified computers spewing spam is truly a global one.
"Every region of the world is strongly represented, with the exception of Africa," Ducklin said. What's more, many contributors are unwitting accomplices.
Spammers have unwitting helpers
Spammers don't send spam themselves: they use botnets, or "zombie armies" of malware-infected computers to distribute their spam for them, almost always without the owners of the infected computers being aware. In most cases, the countries in the Dirty Dozen made it onto the list because a statistically significant proportion of their residents were conducting business online using computers that were actively infected by remote-control malware, Ducklin said.
"So the spam aspect is just a symptom—the start of the problem," he added. "Zombie malware means the crooks are already on the inside. It's up to you to turf them out." Compared to the U.S., the results show things have stayed pretty stable.
Belarus retained its top spot, with the average computer there over ten times more likely to send spam than if it were in the U.S.
Meanwhile, other countries such as Uruguay, Taiwan, Luxembourg, and Macedonia continue to jockey for positions in the top 12.
The only significant move came from Kuwait, with figures showing there had been almost a three-fold increase in spam-relaying per capita, growing from 2.1 times the U.S. figure per capita, to 6.07, to elevate it to second place in the table. According to Ducklin, the Spampionship League Tables are not intended to suggest that individual nations are actively involved in illegally sending spam, but are designed to raise awareness of just how many computers are potentially infected with spam-relaying malware.
"If your country isn't in the Dirty Dozen, it's easy to feel smug, or at least complacent," he said. "Don't do that: if you're a spam sender, Dirty Dozen or not, you are a net positive contributor to cybercrime."
This story, "US wins 'spampionship' but zombies everywhere help spew" was originally published by ARNnet.

The Planet Mars & Its Inhabitants
The Planet Mars and Its Inhabitants, a Psychic Revelation was written by Urdies Eros (a Martian) as told to J L Kennon. In the forward Kennon states that for the first time the people, government, art, and industries of Mars will be written about. The forward says that "Jesus the Christed One of God visited the planets of our Solar system, the planet Mars being one of those visited and investigated. And, as a proof of this it was Jesus Christ who functioned as chairman or president at the great Peace Conference held in the vast coliseum on the first sphere of the Heavens of our Earth. That was in the year 1912, as fully reported in "World of Tomorrow," page 98. It was at that conference He stated that Universal Peace must be speeded up, as there were other planets to be investigated: and that the Earth stood in the way and was becoming a menace to neighboring planets.'

UK seeks wiser way with waste
The announcement is expected in the pre-Budget statement where the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, outlines his plans for the coming year.
The proposals were prepared by the Cabinet Office's Strategy Unit, which has been working on them for a year.
Environmentalists say the UK has one of Europe's worst records on recycling.
The strategy unit offers this summary of its work: "The aim of the Waste Project is to explore a variety of policy options to allow England to meet the European Union (EU) Landfill Directive and to move to a more sustainable waste management system.
"The project is identifying the economic framework, targets, regulations and other instruments required to deliver on those options."
Prodigal discarders
Under new EU legislation the UK will have to ensure that less than a third of its waste is sent for burial in landfill sites by 2020. The figure at present is about 80%.
Even then, there will still be large amounts of waste which can neither be recycled nor sent to landfills.
The average British household produces roughly a tonne of waste a year. About 80% of it is suitable for recycling or composting.
The UK recycles about 11% of domestic waste, compared with more than half in countries like Switzerland and Austria.
The other obvious way of disposing of waste has been to burn it in purpose-built incinerators.
But there is fierce resistance from most communities where the government plans to build incinerators, because of suspected risks to health.
Some experts say incinerators should pose no problem if they are operated properly at sufficiently high temperatures.
Plastic phase-out
Environmental campaigners are heartened by the experience of Ireland, which took a radical step earlier this year to encourage consumers to be more responsible.
In March it introduced a tax on plastic bags, charging about 10 pence (15 cents) for each bag.
Friends of the Earth thinks an important part of the solution to waste here would be a doorstep recycling collection service for every household in Britain.
The MP Joan Ruddock is to introduce a Bill in the House of Commons ensuring that such a service is provided. Nearly 400 MPs have backed the idea.
The cost of delay
The waste industry itself is concerned that the problem threatens to become increasingly hard to manage.
Peter Jones, a director of Biffa Waste Services, said: "Waste management will be in crisis in five years and cost the UK economy an additional £2bn per year.
"UK waste management is in the foothills of development. Seventy-five per cent of household, commercial and industrial waste is thrown into holes in the ground.
"This is not rocket science. If we fail to act and attain levels of recycling achieved by our European partners a decade ago, we face European fines, increased taxes and a lack of competitiveness.
"We have an opportunity to act now, and the sooner we take it the better it will be for us all."

EDITORIALS>>Taxpayers ripped off
Lets hope our area cities make better use of the money than the folks over in Little Rock, where the convention and tourism people have entertained themselves more than tourist officials from out of state.
Its always been a vague distrust that the municipal promotions were very effective and that the impact of convention business on the local economy was as spectacular as the convention bureaus always calculated.
It also seems a little improvident to tax ourselves to promote conventions when cities and counties have such palpable needs as streets, policemen and jails that we cannot afford. Thanks to some superb reporting by C. S. Murphy in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, now we have better grounding for our uneasiness about the efficacy of the hamburger tax.
The Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau, the same agency that handed its retiring director a new car at public expense as a going-away token a while back, collects $12 million a year from the tax and spends it on what? It is impossible to say from the public records except that large amounts go to businesses owned by members of its governing board.
The newspaper recounted a raft of conflicts of interest in the bureaus operations, such as big parties thrown at two restaurants owned by Mary Beth Ringgold, chairman of the commission.
It spent $141,000 at the restaurants, Cajuns Wharf and Capers, in three years. The agency often ignores the city law that requires bids on purchases larger than $25,000, hands out credit cards to employees willy-nilly and imposes no restraints on their use and spends large sums without formal authorization from the commission, which does not seem to care.
Here are the figures that must nettle Little Rock taxpayers: The bureau has 105 full-time employees, four of them earning more than $100,000 a year, and 75 part-time employees. Compare that payroll to the same bureau for the city of Houston, Texas, at more than 2 million the fourth largest city in the United States. Houstons bureau has only 83 employees and it keeps up with its money, too. It lands many more conventions than Little Rock, too.
Money, large sums of it, is spent almost whimsically. The bureau laid out $500,000 of the taxpayers money wining and dining and generally coddling a fraternity, which eventually did hold its convention in Little Rock.
Fewer than 1,300 people registered for the convention. The justification was that the bureau figured that the conventioneers would spend $20 million with Little Rock businesses.
If they did, most of them would have had to beg for bus fares home.
Municipal convention and visitors bureaus are semi-autonomous agencies. They would like to remove the semi- so that there are no controls on or accounting for how they spend the taxes.
Clearly, what is needed is the opposite: strong statutory controls on spending the tax, mandatory independent or legislative audits of the collection and disbursement of the tax and perhaps flexible authority for cities to divert tax receipts for more pressing needs. Could we suggest county jails?

Germany's highest court on Tuesday overturned a law allowing authorities to retain data on telephone calls and e-mail traffic for help in tracking criminal networks.
A law ordering data on calls made from mobile or landline telephones and e-mail exchanges be retained for six months for possible use by criminal authorities violated Germans' constitutional right to private correspondence, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled. In its ruling, the court said the law failed to sufficiently balance the need for personal privacy against that for providing security.
The disputed instructions neither provided a sufficient level of data security, nor sufficiently limited the possible uses of the data, the court said.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin May Have Had an Open Marriage
Several friends close to the couple say they had an "open" relationship and "they were physically separated and emotionally." Another friend admitted, "They have been on and off for many years. The marriage was falling apart."
Martin, 37, and Paltrow, 41, who have two children together, are reportedly set to have a quickie divorce so as to avoid any unnecessary airing of their dirty laundry. TMZ claims the high-profile celebs do not want any marriage grievances revealed and plan to end their union swiftly and amicably. Furthermore, the couple is currently holed up on their friends Faith Hill and Tim McGraw's private island in the Bahamas while they ride out the wave of media coverage of their split.
The Iron Man actress and her rocker husband announced their "conscious uncoupling" on Gwyneth's lifestyle site goop.com last week and ever since, the Internet has been buzzing about the reasons behind the break-up. Allegations of infidelity on Gwyneth's part have surfaced, with some reports claiming the blonde actress was involved with Elle Macpherson's husband Jeff Soffer and attorney Kevin Yorn. Yorn has denied the affair.
Martin has supposedly struck up a "friendship" with former MTV VJ Alexa Chung since the separation news.

Second time on Marina and again an excellent experience: Marina Cruise Review by Dutch Explorers
Overall Member Rating
Second time on Marina and again an excellent experience
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
Now we just returned from our second cruise on marina and we have to say it was even a better experience than the first time.
In a lot of areas I noticed significant improvement (mainly due to fact the staff was more used to the new ship).
The embarkation was very smooth and very quick. Within 10 minutes we were on board.
The food is really something special. Highlights for me were The spicy duck and water melon salad at Red Ginger, La Reserve (again money well spend)and the lobster thermidor at Jacques.
On our first cruise we did not go for the Terrace Cafe for dinner but after reading so many good reviews we tried it and it was a delight. Great selection on the Grill form rib eye to lobster every evening.
The cabin was similar to our last cruise except this time we had a veranda.
The first More time I had some difficulty with the shower. I am 6.4 and the shower was really small. Now for the second time I did not mind so much as I knew what to expect.
Overall very nice cabins and more than enough space.
We cannot comment on the entertainment as we only went to 2 shows. The shows we saw were very entertaining but then again some magic and some good jokes and we are happy.
The ports were very nice with as highlights Kotor and Athens. Where necessary shuttle services were provided.
We did not book any shore excursions with Oceania as the prices were extremely high. It was very easy to arrange our own tours even on the destination itself.
Disembarkation in Istanbul was quite chaotic because in total 3 ships were disembarking and the parking space for the shuttles, buses and private transfers was completely gridlocked. We took a taxi and that was by far the quickest way.
If you like excellent food, no kids, great service, great itineraries and no hassle this is definitely the ship for you. Less

Company to produce packages for his
By the time Post had recuperated, his
cereals had made him a millionaire several
times over. His farm machinery was
commonly used across America, and he
was internationally known as an industrialist
and inventor. An outspoken opponent
of union labor, Post kept his
workers happy by encouraging open discussion,
paying high wages, and maintaining
safety and cleanliness standards
that made his shops models for the industrial
community. Besides a fine reputation,
Post now had the money and the
health needed for his next hobby.
Some men garden for a hobby. Others
build model railroads. But C. W. Post did
things on a grand scale. His hobby involved
turning three hundred square
miles of Texas ranch land into a farming
community. In 1905, Post purchased the
land along the Caprock where he had first
envisioned his model city. He paid the
Santa Fe company $50,000 to establish a
rail link between his community and the
nearest outpost of civilization; Lubbock,
population 3,000. And so in 1907 Post
City was born, three miles east of the
Caprock, forty miles from Lubbock and
one hundred miles from Big Spring, the
nearest railhead.
In an age when American intellectuals
looked to socialism as the solution to economic
problems, Post sought to prove
that traditional American individualism
offered a better answer. Post was determined
to prove "a city and country made
up of individual owners can rope and
hogtie any outfit of rainbow chasers that
ever existed, or ever will exist."
Post worked fast to prove his point.
Until the railroad's completion in 1910,
mule trains out of Big Spring brought materials
for building the town. By 1911,
Post City had a newspaper, movie house,
water system, public school, cotton gin,
and almost 1,500 residents.
To stimulate quick growth, Post provided
ready-made farms; 160 acre lots
complete with house, outbuildings, and a
three-acre orchard. The farms were inexpensive
and the terms easy. With a small
down-payment and $25 a month pay
ments, purchasers could own a home in
four years without ever paying interest.
Post visited his hobby town twice each
year, in May and October. He would stay
at least one month to issue orders for the
town's development toward perfection.
The hotel would serve Postum at every
meal, and Grape-Nuts would have a permanent
place on the menu. Liquor was
not to be sold or consumed in Post City.
Prospective residents had to work several
months on the Double U Ranch. After
reviewing the candidates, Post would
allow only those who he believed would
be "desirable citizens" to purchase homes.
To discourage speculators, Post required
all homeowners to pledge they would
never resell their homes for profit. Strict
sanitary regulations were to be enforced,
and all violators were to be "thrown out"
of town.
Post believed he could establish an
economy based on farming and supportive
industry in the heart of traditional
ranch lands. But where Post saw fertile
Texas prairieland, everyone else saw the
Great American Desert. Undaunted, Post
turned his creative energies toward developing
drought-resistant crops and improving
irrigation methods. Post was sure
he could make the desert bloom.
Post looked to cotton for the money
crop that would make his town boom. He
was so convinced the prairie could support
cotton that in 1911 he built the
Postex Cotton Mills, an enormous facility
believed to have been the world's first
mill capable of processing cotton from
plant to pillowcase.
Cotton needs rain. Post City's rainfall
was ample, 23 inches per year, but sporadic.
Between gullywashers, Post City
was an arid area. Often the land was so
dry that farmers couldn't break it with a
plow. Post developed ways to maximize
the use of what rain fell on its own, but
soon he turned to a more elaborate solution.
Post decided he would simply make
it rain.
Post subscribed to the concussionist
theory of rainmaking. That is, clouds
would release their rain when agitated by
loud noises. Through the centuries, soldiers
had associated the sounds of war,
the cannons in particular, with rain.
"Every man who was in a battle knows
that rain invariably followed the heavy
concussions of the cannons," Post wrote
in 1911 after a conversation with a Civil
War veteran.
Post was not the first concussionist of
the era. In 1891, the United States Department
of Agriculture invested $9,000,
a considerable amount in those days,
for experiments in blasting rain out of
clouds. These experiments in San Diego,
Texas, actually produced rain, with a
little help from a storm system in the
area. Although rain had been predicted
in the area in spite of the blasts, the San
Antonio weather bureau admitted the explosions
may have hastened the onset
of rain.
Nor was Post the only rainmaker in
Texas at the time. After the summer of
1911, during which Post's battles were
credited with several heavy showers, rainmakers
sprang up across the Texas plains.
After a 1912 downpour that saved
$20,000,000 of drought-stricken crops,
the Fort Worth Weekly Citizen noted in its
June 20th issue:
At different points in the plains of West
Texas, ranchmen and other citizens have
been making rainmaking experiments. According
to the dispatches from these towns the
rainmakers are taking credit for bringing
about the storm. At San Angelo, Thurber,
Post City, and Wichita Falls a great deal of
money has been spent in rain tests in the past
month. The San Angelo rainmakers take
credit for the precipitation and announced
Tuesday morning that there would be more to
follow. However, the storm is known to have
extended as far north as St. Louis and from
New Mexico east over the Atlantic states.

About Me
I am originally from. I have been working as a model for over 10 years between Jamaica, LA and NYC. So far I have done look books, runway, print and I also worked with Ebony Fashion Fair doing runway and printwork for two years (I am a RUNWAY QUEEN now). My primary objective is to build a new book, with all new looks, Iam looking for photographers, so if anybody needs a model I'm willing to do TFCD/TFP on a very selective basis. I'm really easy to work with and I am very open. I have worked with quite a few photographers over the years so nothing surprises me and I am pretty thick skinned. I would also love to meet/work with Wardrobe, hairstylists and make up artists. One love.
