I will probably be wrong, but I just don't think this movie is going to do well.
17 Comments on "Lone Ranger Trailer"
I can't imagine how the movie could possibly be good enough to get past the enormous problem of having a white man play a Native character. And yeah, I know he's technically considered to be Indian, but that doesn't do anything to solve the big problem of Hollywood not having enough decent roles for people of color.
Same sh*t, different costumes. [yawn]
What is with the halloween costumne on Depp? Tonto never dressed like that for everyday! And he didnt talk to horses, or put ranger up on high platform, so he cld come back to life and , I dont know, fall off and really die??!! The oringinal story was fine as it was.
I'm gonna keep my pie hole shut because huge Depp fan that I am , I busted out laughing when I'd first read Disney was making a movie based on a theme park ride. I was certain my Johnny had fallen on hard times and needed the cash. WTF do I know?
I don't see the stink lines coming off this, but neither am I eager to see it.
@ seachica – Doubt the nursing home crowd has been interested in any of the many remakes. I'm a baby boomer so not quite ready for the home yet, but I'm not interested in these films either. Also not interested in anything Disney makes including Disneyland and Disney World.
I started cracking up when I saw him in this makeup in the theatre too. I just don't like Johnny Depp. I think he ruins movies. The last good thing I saw him in was POTC (the first one).
@Ingrid – that explains all the "geek gets the hot girl" movies.
If you're going to make a nostalgia remake, at least make it nostalgic for active moviegoers, not for the nursing home crowd.
@ingrid – BINGO!
Because movie execs are extremely powerful and rich, overgrown manchildren who think their 'awesome' childhood memories should be the crappy, overproduced childhood memories of everyone forever, that's why.
SusanB, I'm with you…I hate it when TV shows or movies rely on effects or wild scenes to keep people watching. It's like the execs think the audience is not intelligent enough to pay attention to a good plot and great acting, so they throw explosions and boobs on the screen.
I have said that to my hubby many times about American Horror Story this season (and some of last). Too reliant on sex to keep the audience. It's really irritating.
It will probably do well. There are a number of us who just follow Johnny Depp no matter what he does.
Hollywood just doesn't get it. No one is interested in remakes of old movies, or movies of old TV series (or is it serieses?) Try something original for a change! Preferably something that needs actual acting instead of overwhelming special effects. One of the best movies I've seen in years was The King's Speech and the special effects were minimal – it was the ACTING and WRITING that made it a good movie.
Why doesn't Johnny direct or write? Probs just doesn't want to. It just seems like he's got such an abundance of creativity and ideas, and lord knows he's been around film sets for so long he knows what works and what doesn't.
video not available?
When I first saw Johnny Depp in costume at the theater, I started laughing hysterically. It definitely exceed the budget, but I don't think it's going to do as well as they hoped. It looks awful.

The small classes in the Legal Writing Program and our team of practitioner-professors provide an ideal opportunity to model professionalism and bring lessons from the real-world practice of law into the law-school classroom. With leadership from the program's three full-time faculty members, our Legal Writing classes become laboratories for innovative teaching techniques, including peer editing, live drafting, and realistic simulations. With only 10-14 students per class, the professors are able to provide comprehensive written and live feedback to each Legal Writing student.
We make it our mission to convey our passion for the legal profession. Both in and out of class, we strive to convey our passion for the highest standards of diligence, competence, service, and candor.
For Students
Despite our intimate scale, we offer a diverse array of Legal Writing courses, a fellowship program, and other opportunities to enhance your writing skills and fully prepare you for your legal career.
Course Offerings
Our required Legal Writing course, Legal Process, Analysis, and Writing, spans both semesters of the first year and introduces students to the key analytical and communication skills that every lawyer needs. Taught in sections of fewer than fifteen students, this course covers predictive writing, persuasive writing, and oral advocacy. It also provides an introduction to contract drafting, alternative dispute resolution, fact gathering, and client interviewing. The final exam for the course mimics the Multistate Performance Test; as such, this exam launches the students into their summer jobs and clerkships with an intense, independent writing and analytical experience.
Beyond the required first-year course, we offer five elective courses for upper-class students to expand upon the skills and techniques that they learned in Legal Process, Analysis, and Writing:
Writing Fellow Program
Second-year and third-year students who distinguish themselves as strong writers, thinkers, and mentors may be selected to serve as either Classroom Writing Fellows or Senior Writing Fellows. This experiential course implements the "see one, do one, teach one" model, with students learning and cementing key professional skills by helping to teach other students.
Classroom Writing Fellows serve as teaching assistants for the professors in the 1L Legal Process, Analysis, and Writing course. These Fellows prepare and deliver instructional materials, provide feedback on student drafts, and mentor 1L students. The Fellows not only learn by teaching, they also receive instruction in learning theory, effective feedback techniques, management techniques, and advanced writing skills.
Senior Writing Fellows assist the program directors in curricular development, create classroom exercises and writing problems, and occasionally deliver presentations or provide feedback to first-year students.
Further Opportunities to Improve Lawyering Skills
Arizona Law offers many other opportunities to hone writing, advocacy, and other key lawyering skills. Our clinical and externship programs allow the students—in guided, real-life settings—to apply the lessons they have learned in their Legal Writing classes. Other opportunities abound:
These are just a few of the chances to hone these essential practice skills.

SO THE first day of the school holidays, which was enjoyed by so many thanks to the lovely weather, was marred in Newport by the deliberate starting of a grass fire.
The fire in Barracks Wood destroyed trees and bracken over a stretch of land the size of five football pitches.
What an absolute waste.
More to the point, it kept fire-fighters occupied for over an hour, a waste of their precious time.
Had there been another major emergency in the city yesterday lunchtime we do wonder how the service would have coped.
No doubt staff and engines would have been diverted from other areas. But it isn't difficult to see the knock-on effect this could have.
South Wales Fire And Rescue Service works hard through term time to try to get to as many schools as possible to educate children about the dangers of starting such fires.
It is obvious, though, that for some the message does just not get through.
And what those starting the fires don't seem to realise either is that they actually put themselves at risk at the same time.
There must be some responsibility taken by parents who should know where their children are and also to warn them of the dangers and risks. Only last month we reported there had been 77 wildfires in Gwent in under three weeks.
That is not a situation which can go on.

Henry Cow were an English avant-rock group, founded at Cambridge University in 1968 by multi-instrumentalists Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson. Henry Cow's personnel fluctuated over their decade together, but drummer Chris Cutler and bassoonist/oboist Lindsay Cooper were important long-term members alongside Frith and Hodgkinson.
An inherent anti-commercial attitude kept them at arm's length from the mainstream music business, enabling them to experiment at will. Critic Myles Boisen[1] writes, "their sound was so mercurial and daring that they had few imitators, even though they inspired many on both sides of the Atlantic with a blend of spontaneity, intricate structures, philosophy, and humor that has endured and transcended the 'progressive' tag."
While it was generally thought that Henry Cow took their name from 20th-century American composer Henry Cowell, this has been repeatedly denied by band members.[2][3] According to Hodgkinson, the name "Henry Cow" was "in the air" in 1968, and it seemed like a good name for the band. It had no connection to anything.[4][5]
Early years[edit]
Fred Frith met Tim Hodgkinson, a fellow student, in a blues club at Cambridge University in May 1968. Recognising their mutual open-minded approach to music, the two began performing together, playing a variety of musical styles including "dada blues" and "neo-Hiroshima". One of Henry Cow's first concerts was supporting Pink Floyd at the Architects' Ball at Homerton College, Cambridge on 12 June 1968.[6]
In October 1968 Henry Cow expanded when they were joined by Andy Powell (bass guitar), David Attwooll (drums)[7] and Rob Brooks (rhythm guitar). They performed with this line-up until December that year, when Frith, Hodgkinson and Powell split off from the rest of the group and became a trio. Powell at the time was studying music at King's College under Roger Smalley, the resident composer. Smalley was influential in Henry Cow's early development. He exposed them to a variety of new music from bands and musicians like Soft Machine, Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa. Smalley also introduced them to the idea of writing long and complex musical pieces for rock groups.[8] It was at this time that Henry Cow began writing music to challenge their collective ability to play, then using it to improve on themselves.[9][10]
As a trio, with Frith on bass guitar, Powell on drums and Hodgkinson playing an organ that Frith and Powell had persuaded him to learn, Henry Cow performed a number of gigs on the university calendar, including the annual Architects' Ball and the Midsummer Common Festival, as well as a performance on the roof of a 14-storey building in Cambridge. In April 1969, Powell left and the band reverted to a duo, with Frith playing violin and Hodgkinson on keyboards and reeds. In October 1969 philosopher Galen Strawson auditioned for the band. Later, Frith and Hodgkinson persuaded bassist John Greaves to join the band, and with the services of a couple of temporary drummers and then Sean Jenkins, Henry Cow performed as a quartet for the next eight months. In May 1971, Martin Ditcham replaced Jenkins on drums, and with this line-up they played at several events, including the Glastonbury Festival alongside Gong in June 1971.
Ditcham left in July 1971, and it was not until September that year that the drummer's seat was filled again, this time by Chris Cutler. Responding to one of Cutler's adverts in Melody Maker, the band invited him to a rehearsal,[8] and it was only when Cutler joined that Henry Cow settled into a permanent core of Frith, Hodgkinson, Cutler and Greaves. The band then relocated to London, where they began an aggressive rehearsal schedule.
After having entered John Peel's "Rockortunity Knocks" contest in 1971, Henry Cow recorded a John Peel session for BBC Radio 1 in February 1972. They later went on to record another session in October that year and a further three sessions between 1973 and 1975.
In April 1972, Henry Cow wrote and performed the music for Robert Walker's production of Euripides' The Bacchae. This involved an intense and demanding three-week period of concentrated work that changed the band completely. It was during this time that Geoff Leigh on woodwinds joined and Henry Cow became a quintet.
In July 1972, the band performed at the Edinburgh Festival, and wrote and performed music for a ballet with artist Ray Smith and the Cambridge Contemporary Dance Group at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It was Smith who later did the "paint sock" art work on three of Henry Cow's LP covers.
Back in London, they started to organise a series of concerts and events under the names Cabaret Voltaire and Explorers' Club at Kensington Town Hall with invited guests, including Derek Bailey, Lol Coxhill, Ivor Cutler, Ron Geesin, David Toop, Lady June and Ray Smith.[6] Improvisers Bailey and Coxhill became "enthusiastic supporters" of Henry Cow and attended many of their concerts; Frith later stated that he was "strongly affected by their critical engagement and encouragement".[11] For the first time, Henry Cow started getting some attention from the rock press and the then emerging Virgin Records label. After much negotiation and deliberation, Henry Cow signed a contract with Virgin in May 1973.
Within two weeks of signing the contract, Henry Cow began recording their debut album Legend (also known as Leg End) at Virgin's Manor Studios in Oxfordshire. It took three weeks of hard work, but at the end they knew how to handle the studio themselves, which would prove to be invaluable later in their career. The track "Nine Funerals of the Citizen King", sung by the whole group, was Henry Cow's first overtly political statement.
To promote its new signing, Virgin organised a UK tour for Henry Cow and Faust, who had also just signed to the label. During this tour, Henry Cow began preparing music for an unorthodox and provocative play, based on Shakespeare's The Tempest. Some of this music was used on their next record Unrest.
In November 1973, members of the band participated in a live-in-the-studio performance of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells for the BBC.[12] It is available on Oldfield's Elements DVD.
During a tour of the Netherlands in December 1973, Geoff Leigh left the group. Looking for more unusual instruments to draw them further away from standard rock and jazz, Henry Cow asked classically trained Lindsay Cooper (oboe, bassoon) to join. With hardly any time to rehearse, and Cooper having just had all four wisdom teeth extracted, they returned to The Manor in early 1974 to begin recording Unrest. It was during this time that they became acquainted with Slapp Happy, a quirky avant-pop trio of Peter Blegvad (guitar), Anthony Moore (keyboards) and Dagmar Krause (vocals), who had just completed their first LP for Virgin.
Recording Unrest was another intense experience, and the strongest period of collective learning since The Bacchae. They only had enough material to fill one side of the LP, and so were forced to spend a good deal of time developing the studio composition process that produced side two. The recording session brought out a lot of tensions in the band, these being reflected in the music, but in the end they were pleased with the result and this reunited the group.
In May 1974 they were on tour again around England and Europe with Captain Beefheart. It was during this tour that Henry Cow woke up to the reality of what was happening to them: they were becoming a rock band, playing the same thing night after night. Life was no longer a challenge and they were becoming complacent. After some serious thinking they decided to ask Lindsay Cooper to leave and fulfilled their last outstanding concert obligations (a tour of the Netherlands) as a quartet. Without Cooper they were forced to abandon much of their learned material and worked up a 35–40 minute piece unlike anything else they had done before (this later became the politically charged "Living in the Heart of the Beast" on In Praise of Learning).[13]
In November 1974, Slapp Happy invited Henry Cow to be their band on their second LP for Virgin. The result was Desperate Straights, an almost entirely Slapp Happy-composed album that surprised everyone, considering how dissimilar the two groups were. The success of this venture prompted a merger of the two bands.
In early 1975 the merged group began rehearsing for In Praise of Learning in a freezing gymnasium. It was an arduous and extremely demanding time, something Slapp Happy were not prepared for, and it soon became apparent that the merger might not work. Nevertheless, they still went to The Manor and made In Praise of Learning together. But it was only after they started rehearsing with a view to performing live together that it became clear that their approaches were incompatible. The merger ended in April 1975, when Anthony Moore quit and Peter Blegvad was asked to leave. However, Dagmar Krause, whose contribution had added another dimension to Henry Cow's sound, elected to remain, which effectively spelled the end of Slapp Happy as a band.
Having made guest appearances on both the Henry Cow/Slapp Happy albums, Lindsay Cooper rejoined in April 1975 and Henry Cow became a sextet. In May 1975 they embarked on a brief concert tour with Robert Wyatt to launch In Praise of Learning and Wyatt's new album, Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard. This was followed by what became the most rigorous working schedule of Henry Cow's career: two years of almost continuous touring in Western Europe.
Henry Cow's music was challenging and uncompromising and this often led to them being accused of deliberately making their music inaccessible.[8] As a result, they were virtually ignored in their own country. Even Virgin Records, who had started dropping experimental groups in favour of commercial ones, was now showing little to no interest in Henry Cow. This led to the group having to continuously make decisions as to whether to continue or not (there certainly were no economic inducements). Cutler said, "We had to make what amounted to political decisions about the organization of the group and its relation to the commercial structures, and this was bound to be reflected in the music too."[14] Henry Cow's anti-capitalist stance[15] was brought on partly out of necessity rather than choice. They began working outside the music industry and doing everything for themselves. They abandoned agencies and managers and stopped looking for approval from the music press. Henry Cow quickly became self-sufficient and self-reliant.
Virtual exiles from their own country, they made mainland Europe their second home where they (and their music) were well received. After a concert in Rome in July 1975, Henry Cow remained behind with their truck/bus/mobile home and began meeting local musicians, including progressive rock band Stormy Six, and the PCI (Italian Communist Party). The PCI offered them concerts at Festa de L'Unità (large open-air fairs that run every summer all over Italy), and they joined Stormy Six's L'Orchestra, a musicians' co-operative in Milan. Each contact they made led to more contacts and soon doors opened for Henry Cow all over Europe.
While rehearsing for an upcoming tour of Scandinavia in March 1976, John Greaves left the band to start working on the Kew. Rhone. project with Peter Blegvad, and Dagmar Krause withdrew due to ill health. Committed to the tour, Henry Cow had to perform as a quartet (Hodgkinson, Frith, Cooper and Cutler) and adjust their music accordingly. They took the radical option and abandoned composed material completely in favour of pure improvisation.
In May 1976 Henry Cow compiled a double LP Concerts for a new Norwegian underground label Compendium (re-released later on the budget Virgin sub-label Caroline). For the first time, they did everything themselves: the mastering, cover design, cutting, pressing and manufacturing. The album included an excerpt from one of several concerts performed with guest artist Robert Wyatt in 1975.
Henry Cow began auditioning for a bass player and found Georgie Born, a classically trained cellist and improviser. Even though she had never played bass guitar before,[16] she joined the band in June 1976 and tuned her bass in 5ths like a cello with a lower C.[17] In the interim, the band's compositions, including a new Hodgkinson epic with the working title of "Erk Gah", grew more complex.
Henry Cow returned to London in early 1977, where they merged with the entire Mike Westbrook Brass Band and folk singer Frankie Armstrong to form the Orckestra. They played their first concert at the Moving Left Revue at The Roundhouse in London and then at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park. The Orckestra later went on to tour in France, Italy and Scandinavia (extracts from some of these performances were released in 2006 on a CD-single included in the Henry Cow Box). At more or less the same time they set up Music for Socialism and its May Festival. It had been three years since Henry Cow had performed more than one concert a year in their own country. In an attempt to break the apathy that seemed to be discouraging anyone from wanting to put them on, they tried to organise a small alternative tour themselves, but abandoned it after 11 concerts when they started losing money: clearly nothing had changed.
Their contract with Virgin Records had now become a burden to both Henry Cow and Virgin: none of Henry Cow's records were licensed or distributed in the countries in which they spent all their time playing, and Henry Cow were not making any money for Virgin. Henry Cow needed to record again but Virgin refused to give them studio time at The Manor. When Henry Cow referred to the contract ("one month at a first class studio"),[18] Virgin Records (in October 1977) agreed to cancel it.
By now Krause's health had deteriorated to such an extent that touring became impossible for her and she decided to leave the group, although she agreed to sing on Henry Cow's next album. The recording of this album was to begin at Sunrise studios in Kirchberg, Switzerland in January 1978. However, a group meeting one week before threw into question the material planned for it, the aforementioned "Erk Gah" in particular. Cutler and Frith hurriedly wrote a set of songs which, along with some of the planned material, were duly recorded. On returning to London, another meeting was convened to question the predominance of songs on the album. The group agreed that the songs would be released separately by Cutler and Frith, while the instrumentals would be released later by Henry Cow. This decision, however, spelled the end of the band. Cutler, Frith and Krause released the songs, with four extra tracks recorded at David Vorhaus's Kaleidophon Studio in London, as Hopes and Fears under the name Art Bears, crediting the rest of Henry Cow as guests. Later that year Henry Cow returned to Sunrise, by then without Dagmar Krause and Georgie Born, to record their last album, Western Culture, an instrumental. Annemarie Roelofs had joined the band two months before the split and plays on the album as well.[6]
Rock in Opposition[edit]
Henry Cow agreed to disband as a permanent group, but did not announce the fact immediately. They continued for another six months, creating a new set of material (recorded later to complete Western Culture) and revisited for the last time all the places that had supported them over the years.
In March 1978 Henry Cow invited four European groups, Stormy Six (Italy), Samla Mammas Manna (Sweden), Univers Zero (Belgium) and Etron Fou Leloublan (France), to come to London and perform in a festival Henry Cow had organised called Rock in Opposition, or RIO. Throughout Europe, Henry Cow had encountered many "progressive" groups refusing to bow to the hegemony of American and British rock music. Instead they drew on non-American music sources, such as local folk music and 20th century "classical" or "art music", and often sang in their own languages. As was the case with Henry Cow, these groups struggled to survive: record companies were not interested in their music. Although these groups and Henry Cow were musically diverse, what they had in common was: (1) their independence and opposition to the established Rock business; and (2) a determination to pursue their own work regardless.
After the festival, RIO was formalised as an organisation with a charter whose aim was to represent and promote its members. RIO thus became a collective of bands united in their opposition to the music industry and the pressures to compromise their music.
Henry Cow's last concert was held in Milan on 25 July 1978. A final performance scheduled at the Annual World Youth Festival in Cuba never materialised.[9] In August they returned to the Sunrise studios to compete Western Culture after which the band officially announced their break-up in the press, stating that "… although the group as a commodity, as a name, ceases to exist the work of the group will go on …"[2]
Western Culture was released on Henry Cow's own Broadcast label. Shortly afterwards, Chris Cutler launched Recommended Records, his own independent label and non-commercial record distribution network.
The legacy of Henry Cow and its work continues to live on long after the band's demise. It was a groundbreaking group that launched the careers of many of its members, and they have kept in touch, collaborating in numerous projects over the years, including:
- Art Bears
- Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause (1978–1981)
- Rags (Lindsay Cooper solo album)
- Lindsay Cooper, Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, Georgie Born and others (1979–1980)
- The Last Nightingale (benefit album for the striking miners in the 1984–1985 UK miners' strike)
- Lindsay Cooper, Chris Cutler, Tim Hodgkinson and others (1984)
- News from Babel
- Chris Cutler, Lindsay Cooper, Georgie Born, Dagmar Krause, Robert Wyatt and others (1983–1986)
- Duck and Cover (commission from the Berlin Jazz Festival)
- Chris Cutler, Fred Frith, Dagmar Krause and others (1983–1984)
- Each in Our Own Thoughts (Tim Hodgkinson solo album)
- Tim Hodgkinson, Chris Cutler, Lindsay Cooper, Dagmar Krause and others (1993) – the track "Hold to the Zero Burn, Imagine" was a Henry Cow piece performed by the group between 1976 and 1978 (as "Erk Gah") but never recorded in the studio
- Live improvisitions
- Fred Frith and Chris Cutler (1979–2010)
- Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson (1988–1990)
- Chris Cutler, Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson (1986 and 2006)
- The Artaud Beats
- Chris Cutler, John Greaves, Geoff Leigh and others (2009–present)
- Henry Cow and others play the music of Lindsay Cooper
- Chris Cutler, Fred Frith, John Greaves, Tim Hodgkinson, Dagmar Krause, Annemarie Roelofs and others (2014)
A partial Henry Cow reunion occurred in 1993 when Hodgkinson, Cutler, Cooper and Krause came together to record the song "Hold to the Zero Burn, Imagine" for Hodgkinson's solo album, Each in Our Own Thoughts. The song was formerly known as "Erk Gah" and originally composed by Hodgkinson for, and performed by, Henry Cow. About possible reunion Frith remarked, in a 1998 interview, "Forget it! We're all much too busy."[19] In December 2006 Cutler, Frith and Hodgkinson performed together at The Stone in New York City, only their second concert performance since Henry Cow broke up in 1978.[20][21] The first was in London in 1986. Frith and Hodgkinson also performed improvised duo concerts in 1990. Extracts of the concerts were released in 1992 as Live Improvisations.
Cooper died in September 2013,[22][23] and in June 2014 it was announced that there would be a Henry Cow reunion as part of two concerts celebrating her life and works. The band, including Henry Cow members Chris Cutler, Fred Frith, John Greaves, Tim Hodgkinson, Annemarie Roelofs and Dagmar Krause, performed a set of Cooper's compositions in Henry Cow, then in News from Babel, Music for Films and Oh Moscow. The Henry Cow set featured Cutler, Frith, Greaves, Hodgkinson, Roelofs, Michel Berckmans, Alfred Harth and, on one piece, Veryan Weston and Zeena Parkins; Krause performed later in the evening, but not on the Henry Cow set. The concerts were performed at the Barbican Centre, London on 21 November 2014, as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, and at the Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield as part of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, on 22 November 2014.[24][25] A third remembrance concert for Cooper featuring the same line-up above was held in Forlì, Italy on 23 November 2014.[26]
In a review of the Barbican concert on 21 November, Dom Lawson of The Guardian called it "a fitting salute to Cooper's life", adding "what tonight's experience never becomes is self‑indulgent: there's a sharpness to the intricate arrangements as very obvious waves of passion and commitment from everyone on stage flow and spread across the auditorium."[27]
Henry Cow's music included elaborately scored pieces (often with complex time signatures), tape loops and manipulations, "flat-out free improvisation" and songs.[28] It incorporated elements of jazz, rock, contemporary classical music and the avant-garde. Dagmar Krause's vocals added another dimension to their sound, giving it a dramatic, almost Brechtian flair. Music journalists at the time often underestimated the formal compositional element of their music,[9] while others simply dismissed it as being "inaccessible".[8]
Their music was often experimental, making classification all but impossible. However, the following styles (amongst others) are often associated with Henry Cow:
- progressive rock
- art rock
- avant-rock
- experimental rock
- chamber rock
- free improvisation
- Rock in Opposition (strictly not a style of music but rather a collection of like-minded musicians)
John Kelman wrote at All About Jazz that "Henry Cow represented a new kind of classical chamber music; one where spontaneity was a partial component, and the instrumentation used created textures that defied those looking for tradition and convention."[28] Edward Macan in his 1997 book Rocking the Classics: English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture described Henry Cow's music as "highly eclectic" and said that their pieces often included "furious atonal instrumental passages with no discernable melodic contour or key center, impossibly complex shifting meters alternating with freely ametric sections with no definable beat or regular recurring rhythms, and jagged, sprechstimme-like vocal lines that blur the line between song and speech."[14]
Henry Cow's music was challenging, not only to the listener, but also to the band themselves. They often composed pieces to challenge their own capabilities. Some of their music was scored beyond the conventional ranges of their music instruments, necessitating that they "reinvent their instruments", learning how to play them in completely new ways.[9][10] And yet their music may not have been as good as it could have been. Henry Cow conducted their affairs as a committee, having regular, minuted meetings with no decisions being made unless approved by the group. This included their music. Band members brought their ideas to the table and sometimes they ended up being changed as a result of the collective process. It is impossible to say if these changes were for the better or if they dampened the composer's personal visions.
Henry Cow was very much a live band, yet of the original six albums they made, only one, Concerts gave a glimpse of their live performances. In January 2009 Recommended Records released The 40th Anniversary Henry Cow Box Set, a nine-CD plus one-DVD collection of over 10 hours of previously unreleased and mostly live recordings made between 1972 and 1978, over four hours of which was improvised. This offered, "for the first time," according to All About Jazz, "a comprehensive account of Henry Cow's breadth and depth."[28]

Notes: before Sean Jenkins joined, the band auditioned several other drummers.

The band's final studio album Western Culture was released in 1979 after the group had split up.

White Apple iPhone 4S shows up in leaked photo of AT&T's inventory system
Engadget was able to obtain a leaked photograph of AT&T's inventory system and sure enough, it clearly shows that a white version of the Apple iPhone 4S is expected to join the carrier's lineup. Unlike the other models of the iPhone listed, the Apple iPhone 4S does not show how much internal storage will be available on the unit.
According to the inside source for Case-Mate, the Apple iPhone 4S is expected to resemble the current Apple iPhone 4 with an upgraded A5 dual-core processor, replacing the A4 on the current iPhone, and an upgraded 8MP camera in place of the 5MP one on the iPhone 4. It is expected to be priced lower than the new Apple iPhone 5, giving the company coverage in both the high and mid-priced phone market in order to compete with Android models in both price levels.

The market churning continues.... Apple are the best at it.
In about another week, there will be a 'leak' about the iPhone 5....

You are right !
5. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
hopefully in another week it will be a bit more than a leak...

The whole sheet is fake their's no 3g unit the photo is fake.
9. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Don't know where you heard that.
13. quakan (Posts: 1398; Member since: 02 Mar 2011)
I think it's fake too because of the 3G listing and if the 4S is already in the inventory then why isn't the internal storage listed?
22. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its a placeholder. companies do that a lot. its so the network guys can get the page and info ready without loading the real stuff for employees with cameras to take pictures of

Why apple is overrated than any other best models? I never used apple but i see people going behind apple. Is there any reason with apple being good? Correct me if i'm wrong
10. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
It's a matter of preference, also the iphone is considered to be on Mainstream, apple created a reputation for that. And there is a limited number of devices on their lineup unlike other manufacturers and everything is done secretly. So it builds up curiosity
12. jthiagesan (Posts: 104; Member since: 20 Apr 2011)
you're right and thank you protozeloz
11. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I wonder.... Now does this means the iphone 4 will be sold even cheaper than the other? Or the iphone 5 will have LTE or winax and be even more expensive than your regular models? Or they are having a versión for the smaller carriers? I don't see the 4S with the specks its gonna have being the prepaid cheap iphone? Or is it gonna be the flashgrip tactic similar to the one done by samsumg with two superphones priced differently?
14. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
good question...my guess is that the 4s is going to be price same or similar as the iphone 4 and the the iphone 5 is going to be £/$100+ more...i think they are doing with the the mac...a normal version and a pro version
16. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I believe it migh be like that.
23. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
my guess is that its going to be a 3 - 4 tiered system to make up for the current 2 tiered system they have in place now
currently iphone4 -$200, iphone 3gs $0-50
new line up iphone5 - $200-250, iphone 4s $150-200, iphone 4 $50-100, iphone 3gs - prepaid or discontinued
24. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the only real question is that if the 4s and the 5 are going to be on the same carrier, is there enough difference in screen size to justify the price difference between the 2? So far it sounds like they are going to have nearly identical specs except for the i5's larger screen size. 3.7 inches is not that big of a deal though, so there better be many hidden surprises in the i5 to justify the price differences.
25. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
The question if there is coming out iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or both.
26. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i always just assumed that the 2 big carriers (VZW ATT) would get the 5 and the smaller guys would get the 4s that way everyone would have one but it would save the big guys from lots of peeps migrating to the value carriers to save money. People are easily fooled and if you say "VZW has the iphone5" and "Sprint has the phone 4s", most people will just assume that the 5 is loads better than the 4 and stay on or go to VZW.
From the looks of it, they both look nearly identical right now though.

Redesigned Apple Earphones To Be Launched [Images]
We have only ever seen two versions of the Apple in ear headphones the first being released in 2007 but were soon refreshed after multiple complaints from customers about the headphone constantly falling out. The refreshed versions were released and solved the previous problems but still did not sound the best especially for the price.
The images below show what is rumored to be the next generation Apple in ear headphones. They seam to be a mixture of both previous version. We have no details at this moment in time regarding price or availability.

In light of Thamsanqa Jantjie saying he hallucinated during the Nelson Mandela memorial and that he has a violent history, Rush Limbaugh posed the question to his listeners on Thursday, "Did the Secret Service not vet this guy?"
Jantjie was hired to sign for the Mandela memorial, but was called a fake by many experts in the sign language field. The owners of the company that hired Jantjie, SA Interpreters, have apparently "vanished."
"You know I'm sorry, I can't look at videotape of this fake sign language guy at the Mandela memorial without busting out laughing. Do you realize this guy crashed the Nelson Mandela memorial? He's up there faking sign language for every one of these speakers, and nobody has any idea what he's doing, and it turns out that he has been hired prior to this by the South African President, Mr. Zuma," Limbaugh said.
"No matter where you look, it seems, no matter where you go in the world, everything is upside down and doesn't make any sense. In addition to the security risk that this guy presented, if you take them out of it, and take a look at the videotape, it's unbelievably hilarious. This guy crashes an event. He's up there faking sign language. I'm looking at it now [laughter]. He's standing two feet away from every speaker. Now it turns out the guy says he saw angels, or aliens, or whatever. He's a schizophrenic. He's an absolute lunatic. They hired him, and he's been hired before. I think the interpreter said that he was only gonna get $85 for doing this.
"Now all kidding aside, according to the AP, they had a long interview with the guy. He says he's a schizophrenic, that he has been recently hospitalized for more than a year for his schizophrenia, and that he has been violent a lot of times in the past, and this guy was allowed to stand within three feet of the president of the United States with a bunch of guns all around him. Did the Secret Service not vet this guy?
"You know, you stop and think, so Mr. Mandela passes away, I would've thought there would've been a bunch of work for months behind the scenes in preparing for the crush of dignitaries from all over the world to come in. The logistics, finding places for all of these people who think they all should get the presidential suite at the hotel. Every damn one of them thinks they should get it, but only one person's going to. So they have to iron that out. They have to iron out all the security. They have to iron out all the transportation to and from. The president of the United States has more people with him and more equipment with him than any other world leader. They have to handle this seemingly overnight, and apparently, this guy does not get vetted. The South African government is trusted with putting this guy up there on the podium.
"And while this guy is faking the sign language, Obama is taking selfies with the blonde bimb-babe from Denmark and the British prime minister. Everything is falling apart. There is nothing anybody is taking seriously here."

Android Executive Leaves Google for Chinese Smartphone Maker Xiaomi

He will become vice president of Xiaomi Global
An Android head at Google is making his way out of the company and diving into new opportunities with Chinese phone maker Xiaomi.
Hugo Barra, vice president of product management for
, is leaving Google to become vice president of Xiaomi Global. Barra joined Google in 2008 as group product manager and made his way up in the Android ranks.
Barra has been an important part of Android, and a public figure as well. He unveiled the Nexus 7 tablet in San Francisco, for instance.
"We wish Hugo Barra the best," Google said in a statement. "We'll miss him at Google and we're excited that he is staying within the Android ecosystem."
Aside from new opportunities, it isn't clear why Barra has chosen to go with Xiaomi. Some reports noted that a recent break-up with a fellow Google employee (who is now dating Google co-founder Sergey Brin) added to Barra's decision, but sources close to the situation say Barra made his decision to leave before that relationship fizzled.
Barra's resignation from the Android team is pretty important, especially after Android creator Andy Rubin left the Android division earlier this year. It leaves the future of Android unknown, and the direction Google will take the OS is unclear.
While Android has a healthy amount of market share, having its creator and a top executive bail on it it effect the operating system's mobile battle against
the likes of Apple
Moving to Xiaomi isn't a bad move on Barra's part. The phone maker recently bumped Apple out of the top spot for market share in China.
For the second quarter, Apple was ranked seventh in China's list of smartphone vendors with only 5 percent.
While Xiaomi was also at 5 percent, its smartphone shipments narrowly surpassed Apple's -- which is pretty significant for a company that only started shipping smartphones two years ago.
Xiaomi phones are only sold in China and Taiwan. However, they offer high-end smartphones with great specs and low prices. For instance, Xiaomi started selling a flagship phone with the Android operating system, a quad-core 1.7GHz processor from Qualcomm, a 4.3-inch 720p screen, and a 13-megapixel camera for 1699 yuan ($275 USD) without a contract.

"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

'The Big C' Recap: The Last Thanksgiving
S02E08: It's beginning to look like The Big C is introducing more and more side characters, and assimilating them into the foreground, in order to divert focus from the fact that its central characters really have nothing going on. Sure, there's the cancer this show is supposed to be about—but when it comes down to it, the show is really about a dysfunctional family who happens to have cancer at its center, rather than a cancer-ridden family who, as a result, lament in dysfunction. And although the formula they chose is not inherently worse (though it does inherently devalue the theme of the disease), the show's illustration of the dysfunction is rarely anything all that interesting or creative.
With all family shows, a holiday episode is warranted—more often than not, it's Thanksgiving. The Jamison/Tolke/Andrea/Lee/Mick Thanksgiving kicks off right away with two conflicts out front. Interestingly enough, each conflict is centered around a non-central character (furthering the theory above).
"I'm fat and you're gay, so we're supposed to get along." -Andrea
Let's break up The Chronicles of Mick for a second to introduce the Sean/Rebecca storyline that is peppered throughout the episode, and then explodes at the conclusion. Early in the episode, Rebecca discusses her dissatisfaction with being an unwed expectant mother. Cathy says that when she is dead, she will leave her engagement ring to Rebecca—then, Sean enters. Sean, really playing up the Sean, brings home a live turkey that he insists would be nobler to kill themselves. Unfortunately, he cannot bring himself to actually do it, and the turkey flees the property. There is a subtle piece of foreshadowing wherein Rebecca remarks about the baby's first kick—throughout the party, she begins to feel ill. If you're crafty, you might know where this is going.
Mick Problem # 2: He tells Andrea he loves her. She slaps him. Andrea eventually reveals that her hesitance to believe that any guy can be genuine comes from being around Adam all the time, but that could just be sass. In any event, the two make up and profess love to one another by the end of the episode.
This profession of love inspires Rebecca, filled with actual love for Sean rather than shame of being an unwed mother, to tell him she wants to be married. He jumps to the opportunity and proposes. At this moment, Rebecca requests Cathy's wedding ring, reviving the whole "I'm not dead yet, Rebecca!" theme that they should probably do something significant with sometime soon (and not just forget about it a week later like that huge fight Cathy had with Adam a couple episodes ago).
In removing her ring, Cathy reveals her broken nail that she has been disguising, which angers Lee. He draws the sort of broad conclusions only TV characters can accurately draw. He lashes out at Cathy and tells her that she is clearly not ready to die, despite what she thinks. This is a significant and powerful theme that has the potential to really drive the rest of the season. But we'll see what happens.
The conclusion of the episode has Cathy killing the turkey, mostly out of rage (but also out of a veiled attempt to prove herself death-savvy), and an ambulance taking Rebecca away. There's something wrong with the baby.
As I said, Cathy's revelation in this episode has great potential, but it's more likely that they'll turn it into a friendship spat between she and Lee until the latter dies at the end of the season (these are just my predictions). Andrea and Mick have a love story going on, Paul's getting involved in theft, and Sean's and Rebecca's baby is in danger. The stakes? Varying. The pull? Dwindling.


text: While the end result of the Miami-NCAA case remains to be seen, there's no arguing that college athletics' governing body has screwed up royally investigating the Hurricanes. Some — many? — would also argue that Mark Emmert's unprecedented action against Penn State following the Freeh Report on the Jerry Sandusky scandal was uncalled for, making the past year memorable for the NCAA for all the wrong reasons. Well, the hits keep coming. In an equally fascinating and unsettling piece by USA Today's Brent Schrotenboer, Emmert's previous stops at Montana State, UConn, LSU and Washington are placed squarely under a microscope to reveal a trend of scandals that make you wonder how Emmert was awarded his job as NCAA president to begin with. As chancellor at UConn, Emmert oversaw a $1 billion construction project that resulted in a loss of over $100 million due to mismanagement. "Memos from 1998-99 showed that Emmert and two other top UConn officials knew about the construction project's big problems then, but failed to disclose them to the school's board of trustees or the state legislature," Schrotenboer writes. By the time the problems were discovered in 2005, Emmert had moved on to become chancellor of LSU and denied withholding information. "I never saw an audit issue that was a problem at all, and we certainly wouldn't have kept it from people," he told the USA Today. While at LSU, Emmert led an investigation into allegations of academic fraud that emerged in the football program under former coach Nick Saban. While the conclusions of that investigation acknowledged five minor, isolated violations, a court documents obtained by the USA Today show a deposition given in 2004 after Emmert's departure for Washington said "problems were far more systemic than the school admitted…" (Similarly, in 1995, the NCAA ruled that Montana State was guilty of a lack of institutional control for academic fraud in men's basketball while Emmert was a member of the university's senior management team (along with the NCAA's current COO, Jim Isch). But by that point, Emmert had left for UConn.) Emmert continued to make enemies at UW. The USA Today writes Emmert "irked some faculty with two bold moves. He pushed to use taxpayer money to fund a football stadium renovation and helped make football coach Steve Sarkisian the highest-paid state employee at about $2 million." http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsport...-into-mark-emmerts-past-results-are-not-good/

The 'Brick Mansions' star says they have to settle the dispute within the next 30 days or 'A Better Tomorrow' might be canned.
RZA has responded to Raekwon's criticisms regarding Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming album "A Better Tomorrow". RZA told Sports Illustrated, "The album is slated to come out in July. If we don't come to terms within the next 30 days, then this will have to be an album without Raekwon or an album that never sees the light of day."
"That's a very strong potential. I would never want to put out a Wu-Tang album without every member available. At the same time, I don't want the fans to not have this incredible music we've been working on for the last year. So that's going to be a tough decision, but we have about 30 days to make that decision and come to that conclusion."
Raekwon didn't hold back when he expressed his displeasure at the outcome of the album, especially the new single "Keep Watch". Calling it "mediocre," he blasted, "I hate it. I hate it. I don't hate s**t, but I hate that f**kin' record." He added, "The bottom line: I'm not happy with that. I'm not happy with the direction of the music."
Of his bandmate, he said to Rolling Stone, "As far as the RZA, I respect him, I love him - the love ain't gonna go anywhere - but you're not in the music world no more. So to me, you need to take a backseat and respect the n***as that is playing the game. I'm always out in the field and finding out what's going on with the new. Period."
In a separate chat with New York radio station Hot 97, RZA responded, "We can call it arguing or we can call it building. What we're not doing as brothers and as business brothers is putting time together. So I gotta read about how he feel. He gotta read about how I feel. I try to make myself as available as I can. I won't deny; I'm a busy man."
The rapper who will next star in "Brick Mansions" added, "We did speak six, seven days ago and he gave me his demands, which we presented to the company. If they can be reached, they can be reached. If they can't, they can't. And if they can't, then we have to reevaluate what we're going to do. But there was no lying there."
"When you form Voltron, you need every piece," RZA continued, before reiterating, "We need him there. I want him there. I ask him over and over to be there. Let's just come together. Put some time together and make some music and see what comes out of it."

One of the hottest topics on the "Designer Forums":http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bb7d189 these days seems to be methods by which one can add a table of contents to their form. Since there are many different ways to achieve this, I thought I would post a little sample to demonstrate how this can be done.
Of primary concern when adding a table of contents to your form is ensuring that the links provided to the form's various pages/sections remain valid at all times. Static forms whose page set never changes don't really need to worry about this but dynamic forms do. That is, regardless of whether content pages are added, re-ordered or even deleted from your dynamic form, you need to ensure that when a TOC link is clicked, the user is taken to the correct page pertaining to the topic they selected.
The best way of ensuring that TOC links don't get broken as a result of changes to the form's pages is by using layout information provided by the *XFA Layout Model*. This model provides information such as an object's actual dimensions (width/height), the page on which it is located as well as a few other interesting pieces of information.
By using the
bc. xfa.layout.absPage
we're able to get the page number on which an object is currently located, taking into account the various pages which may have been inserted or removed in-between the TOC page and the page in question. Taking that page number and assigning it to the
bc. xfa.host.currentPage
property then sets the current page to the one on which is located the object in quetsion.
"Download Sample [pdf]":http://blogs.adobe.com/formbuilder/samples/TOCUsingXFALayoutModel.pdf
*Minimum Requirements:* Designer 7.x, Acrobat 7.x.
h2. page or absPage?If you're looking at the "Adobe XML Form Object Model Reference":http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/designing_forms.html (page 188), you'll notice that there are actually two methods which provide the number of the page on which an object is currently located:bc. xfa.layout.page // returns a 1-based numberandbc. xfa.layout.absPage // returns a 0-based numberSince we need to set that information to thebc. xfa.host.currentPageproperty and that it expects a *zero-based* page number, it's simpler to use the _absPage_ version.h2. The Layout:Ready EventWhen using the XFA Layout Model, it's very important to realize that the information it contains is constantly updated whenever something on your form changes that may affect an object's positional data. Therefore, you must ensure that the form's layout has been updated before you attempt to obtain information from it about a particular object.For TOC page fields that display the page number on which a topic is currently located, it's easier to simply put script in the *Layout:Ready* event of that field since this event is fired every time the form's layout process is complete. Therefore, whenever pages get added, re-ordered or even removed, this event is fired and the fields are updated with the most current information.Alternatively, if you're writing script in another event and you need to know whether information in the XFA Layout Model is up-to-date, you can use thebc. xfa.layout.readyboolean property which returns _true_ if the form's layout process is complete and _false_ otherwise.h2. Links in XFAA lot of customers have asked me how to create links in XFA. The concept of links is essential to a TOC page since it's sole purpose is to provide links to various pages within a document.Unfortunately, XFA 2.4 (used by Designer 7.1+ and Acrobat 7.0.5+) doesn't have the ability to describe the equivalent of an HTML anchor (link) or a PDF Bookmark. Therefore, we're forced to cheat a little. One way of doing that is by using a transparent button overlaid on top of another object (text or field) which displays information about a link. You could also use a button directly by using its caption to describe what it links to but you'll most likely run into text alignment problems if you need the button's caption to be anything but centered.My sample uses the former solution and places transparent buttons over the fields which display information about the link (title and current page number). You can make a button transparent by removing its caption text and customizing its Appearance property (on the Object palette's Field tab) to remove its borders and fill.Finally, the z-order (or top-down order in the Hierarchy palette) of the transparent buttons used as links with respect to the fields over which they're to be located is very important in that the buttons must be _above_ (higher in z-order or lower in the Hierarchy palette) the fields to which they pertain. One way to do this is by selecting a button and choosing the "Layout | Bring to Front" menu item. This will ensure that when you click on the topic, you'll click on the link button rather than the field which describes the topic.
