I can not quite do what I want with the menus.
There the main menu that works with tabs. I create a second menu and I feel it is not independent from the main menu, it uses the same page I feel.
I, for example on my site, when clicking on the tab computer, the page is displayed with a sub menu corresponding to the computer.
If I click on the tab flowers,the flowers appear with the page submenu containing all the flowers, for example, and without the submenu computer of course!
Can you give me the procedure please?
thank you
Hello Diana, I rewrote this post.
In the Layouts menu, you can create independent layouts for each page. For example: in the "Layouts Menu" from the "Bordered Three Blue" theme you can derive btbLayout1 and btbLayout2, then you are able to assign btbLayout1 for the main page and btbLayout2 for its subpages. All these pages will be looking the same, they uses the same theme, but have different layouts. And these layouts can be customized with different custom menus, you can create in the "Page Manager".
The menu now cannot be inserted into the page content, but it should be possible. You can make your feature request on the Feedback page. (i rewrote my previous post, please see it above)
I'm not exactly sure what you want to do Diana however, the menu system in gpEasy is very flexible. You can make as many menus as you like and place them anywhere that an extra content area can go on a layout.
If you want a menu within a page's content you have a some options.
1. Make a plugin with the get menu output function. You can then add that plugin's gadget as a section to any page. ;)
2. More of a hack, create a page then edit its php file directly and add the get menu output function to it. Then add that page as a File Include section to any page. You just DO NOT want to edit the page with the menu in it in CKEditor as it will strip the PHP.
3. I believe the Execute PHP plugin will let you use the menu output function and you can add it as a section to any page.
If I'm misunderstanding what you want to do please give me an example.
My gpEasy menus tutorial might also help.
Yes, good suggestions Charles, I didn't realised it can be done this way. Your 3rd solution looks quite easy.
Diana, you can download and install the Execute PHP plugin, then open the page and choose Edit New section and choose to insert "Executable PHP", then click Edit for that section and write this php command: gpOutput::Get('SubMenu'); and it should be it. Or is it something else you intended to have?
ha ha. . .
No, Arizona has conditioning. . . everywhere. But if you don't have A/C then a fan is nice--lived in Texas when I was young without A/C--the fans were well used, not eaten ;)
As was the pool--jump in, get wet then sit in front of the fan--almost made it feel like a cool breeze for a few minutes :D
I am creating my menus. But there is something that I do not make sense.
If I understand it, creating a new menu always passes through the Main Menu. And that's where it wrong for me.
Why, we could not create menus independent of the Main Menu ?
A) Main menu
B) New Main menu
By selecting B for example, could create another menu independent of A.
For example, if I select the branch "Plantes", I can create a new menu independent of the Main menu to be called "Plantes" with the children here "My tomatoes, peppers my ..." as here (in French).
I do not know if I did understand my concept. : /
You can read my tutorial for gpEasy menus. IT may answer some of your questions.
The main menu needs to have all pages in it that you want to be displayed in the site map, thus if you are going to use several different menus like I do at trueacu.com then you most likely will NOT use the main menu anywhere on your site. I just use it for organization. Each menu displayed on my site is an alternative menu, and as you can see they are completely independent of the main menu.
If you want to use a different menu text other than what you originally gave the page then use an "external link" within the menu for that page.

What does everyone use here for a roof mounted rack? I'm curious because I need a solution for transporting my Ripley. My car doesn't have a tow bar/hitch, so a roof rack is the best option. It seems that most fork mounted racks don't cater very well for the 15mm axle, unless the adaptor is used. And that doesn't look like it allows for locking. I'm interested in solutions

virt-install: kickstarting F17 from local ftp
The following command worked with Fedora 16 to install a virtual machine:
#/usr/bin/virt-install --vnc --noautoconsole --name=vserver.example.com
I receive the following error message and a kernel panic just after the virtual machine booted:
FATAL: Please supply bootdev argument for multiple ip= lines
network interface the dracut way:
# /usr/bin/virt-install --vnc --noautoconsole --name=vserver.example.com
shell. However no network interface gets configured and I receive the
following messages:
dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue
test box with Fedora 17?
I've already asked the same question on the Fedora Users mailinglist but did not receive any hints. I've searched the Bugzilla but mostly found unrelated issues...
I'm having a similar problem, but without static IP addresses. Try removing all network args from your Fedora 15 install, it should work with DHCP that libvirt provides. If so, try F17... I'll bet you get the same error that you do now.
I still think it is not IP related in your case, but try using this ip= syntax:
That appears to be more correct per the new dracut docs.
It would be a bit easier if you went through the 'virt-install --prompt' method.

For a quick stress test, try downloading a benchmark app. OpenGL will be where you encounter problems and crashing.
I don't know of any significant overclock that is stable.
Good luck.
Flashed Bali 2.2 over Glorious Overdose V2, bricked. Now I gotta ODIN, lol.
Edit : Back to stock, deciding where to go from here I may install GOV2 again, but flashing Bali 2.2 is impossible.
Bali isn't compatible with KJ2, that's why it bricked

Overclocking with Tegrak at 1.2 GHZ on Glorious Overdose v2 with no issues after a couple hours.
Don't know what the benchmarking really proves, if anything, but mine just hit 1421 after i overclocked. is that good? lol
I usually get around 2000 when I'm overclocked...

Thanks. Well, I ODIN'ed back to KD2 and did a clean install of GOV2. Hopefully I can overclock it, it was feeling a bit slow. And LauncherPro probably isn't the best launcher to use for it.

Ideally, John Gibbons was looking to mark Aaron Sanchez' major league debut in a stress-free situation.
Instead, he brought the young right-hander into the game to start the seventh inning with the Toronto Blue Jays holding a one-run lead.
Not to worry, though, as the 22-year-old came through Wednesday in style with two dazzling shutout innings of relief in helping the Jays to their 6-4 triumph over the Boston Red Sox.
His first pitch to Dustin Pedroia was a strike that his 95 mph on the gun. He soon ramped that up to 97 and 98, retiring him on three pitches before getting David Ortiz to fly out to left.
Sanchez completed his 1-2-3 inning by sitting down Mike Napoli on a fly to centre on a 99 mph heater.
His next inning was another 1-2-3 effort highlighted by two strikeouts.
Sanchez' stuff was electric.

The 35MM front bar stiffens things up by 60%, while the two position 29MM rear bar is adjustable from +235% to +305% stiffer over stock. Throttle application can charge on a bit earlier out of the corner with these bars thanks to an increased slip angle. This package is designed primarily for road course or autocross action. A loss of some street manners is to be expected - and encouraged. [Hotchkis Performance]

On my opinion, I really think all artists on RMD are amazing. Not only because their great art, but also towards each other. I never met enyone who has being disrespectful towards some other artists, not even when they say their opinion. Sry bad eng.

We encourage you to submit a comment and let the artist know what you think of this drawing. Please log in or join to post a comment.
Post a comment
There are still some on here who aren't the most respectful, but you're right, on the whole the artists on here are pretty decent people. Nice detail on the face, haha.
Nope--What you say is true. I have seen the odd opinion expressed badly, but have seen no deliberate attempts to belittle anyone. As for the artists, all are working at their craft, with very rare exceptions(trolls who think genitalia is shocking)
Omg this is SO true someone has only been unkind to me once and that was a troll =D
if some of you think I'm wrong, and you did have some argues with someone else and that didn't quite end well. Then let me know, if more of the artist think that my opinion is wrong, and think this was a bad idea. Then I will take this down. ^^

High unemployment and low consumer confidence. Is the U.S. looking at a Japan-style meltdown?
Big losses on Wall Street yesterday, and tough economic news all over. U.S. exports, down. Home foreclosures, up.
U.S. economic growth is drifting down and down. The Fed may be running out of levers to pull. The "we're coming back" theme of a few months ago is giving way to new fear of economic stumbling and tumbling. And never mind inflation for the moment.
Some savvy economists and investors are worried about deflation – prices and wages going down.

Kyle Korver is adjusting to life as both an NBA player and a father. Photo by Scott Cunningham/NBA/Getty Images
Korver embracing role as new dad
By Jon Cooper
Kyle Korver has been one of the NBA's best pure shooters since entering the league in 2003. He's also been one of its most durable.
To do both requires a lot to go right, including good timing and good health.
Ironically, on Dec. 5, for probably the first time in his career, the 31-year-old forward, in his 10th NBA season, was appreciative of not being healthy.
A back injury, suffered on Nov. 28, had put him on the injured list and thus, made his decision on where to be that Wednesday night — the same night the Hawks battled and eventually beat the Denver Nuggets at Philips Arena — an easy one. He would be at Piedmont Hospital giving all of his energy and support to his wife, Juliet, as the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Kyra Elyse, to the world.
The game was the penultimate of a five-game, 13-day homestand. Three days later, the Hawks would be in Memphis. The possibility of not being in Atlanta for the once-in-a-lifetime event had entered his mind more than once as the delivery date drew near.
"I was so worried. I've heard stories about guys, their wife goes into labor in the middle of the night, they can't get a flight home, you're on the road, you're scrambling to get there on time," Korver, who has since returned to the lineup, said. "So we felt like we're so blessed, one, to be home and then just how this injury, I was hurt and couldn't travel for a few days. Even though I want to be healthy, it worked out amazingly. We felt like it was kind of a blessing in disguise."
Kyra's arrival was simply a blessing, period, but not one that came quickly or easily. Kyle being there was important, as Juliet would be in labor for almost 30 hours.
While he admittedly was in some pain, he stayed strong in his supporting role.
"My wife thinks I was just having sympathy pains for her and her back was hurting her a good bit, too," he recalled. "It's tiring. When the whole process is over it's emotionally draining, physically draining. I'm the husband. I'm not even the one pushing. But it worked out really well."
Of course, there were plenty of reinforcements once Kyra Elyse arrived, in the form of two sets of very eager grandparents, both of whom got into Atlanta the next day.
"This is the first grandkid on my side and the third on hers," he said. "Everybody was really excited to come. Just to share the moment with your parents is a really cool thing. My parents had wanted to be grandparents for a good long time, so for them to have that opportunity was really special."
Korver is learning just how special being a father is and just how special even the littlest things can be.
"Fatherhood is amazing. You just stare at your baby. You just look at her, and it's the wildest thing," he said. "I'm trying to figure out how to get a little more sleep when I'm at home, but it's a really special thing."
He's changed his perspective on life and what's important.
"Life is smaller because you're so focused on your family all of a sudden, but it's bigger because there's so much more meaning," he said. "It's smaller, but it's bigger. Anyone who's become a father, a parent, it's a life-changing thing."
There are sacrifices that need to be made, lack of sleep among them, but Kyle is eager to do whatever is needed to help, even if that means answering that cry in the middle of the night.
"You don't mind at all," he said. "If I've got to get up in the middle of the night and do whatever, it's like, 'Yeah. I'll go do it.' My wife is great. On the night before a game she's going to do everything. But the other nights, I'll get up with [Kyra], for sure. I've wanted to be a parent for a long time. It felt like we waited until the right moment. It's very rich."
The experience will only get richer, and Korver is on top of chronicling everything in pictures. He's proving as sure a shot off the court with the camera as he is on it.
"We've got iPhones these days," he said with a laugh. "So I've got like a thousand of them on my phone already. It's good."

The election took place at the 28th Annual Meeting of the European Travel Commission's Market Intelligence Group, held between March 12 and 14 in Reykjavik, Iceland. Vincent Nijs, Manager of Visit Flanders' Research Department, was selected as the new Chairman of the expert group. "Joint efforts lead to successful and efficient applications of our collective resources, as well as to a better dialogue amongst tourism professionals", said the newly elected Chairman. "Improving knowledge transfer, by which I mean the process that goes from eliciting information needs into research projects and actionable findings, is the key objective of my term". The Chairman congratulated Emöke Halassy and Tünde Mester, from Hungarian Tourism PLC, and Peter Nash, from Tourism Ireland, for being elected as vice-chairpersons.
The high-level expert group gathered in Reykjavik to take stock of the latest trends in tourism and share knowledge on research-related aspects. The research directors of the ETC member National Tourist Offices, together with representatives of ETC research partners joined the meeting and shared their latest findings and research deliverables. "Tourism in Europe has grown faster than the world average in 2013", said John Kester, Acting Director of the UNWTO Tourism Market Trends Programme. "For 2014 we expect the region to consolidate growth. Most source markets show good prospects, but due to the recent events growth might soften from the Russian Federation, one of the fastest growing markets for many ETC member destinations recently". "Tourism growth has an enormous value for economies in Europe and around the world", said Rochelle Turner, Head of Research for the World Travel & Tourism Council. "The sector holds real opportunities for job creation, especially in addressing youth unemployment problems faced by countries across the world". "In many countries", she emphasised, "Travel & Tourism provides a much higher proportion of jobs for both women and young people than is represented in the workforce as a whole".
The outcome of the meeting will serve as framework to shape the future research agenda. The research programme drawn by this high-level expert group is designed to help European destinations to increase their individual competitive advantages, while strengthening the overall position of Europe as the World's Number 1 tourism destination. "The European Commission has among its aims the consolidation of the tourism socio-economic knowledge base at European level", said Iuliana Aluas, Policy Officer of the EC. "Socio-economic knowledge is crucial in order to make informed policy decisions, and ETC's studies represent precious sources of data for us".
The ETC Market Intelligence Group is an established and internationally acknowledged Think Tank on tourism research. It serves as an active forum for tourism experts to share knowledge and provide strategic advice on market intelligence. "This is the finest collection of tourism researchers in Europe", ETC President Peter De Wilde said in his opening message to the group. "The evidence-based conclusions and recommendations provided by this group are vital to our organisation to prepare for challenges that lie ahead for Destination Europe".
The meeting was generously hosted by the Icelandic Tourist Board.

Another 'Woe Is Us' Election Analysis Proves One Too Many
This is a very well-written pity piece by a young editorial assistant at National Review, Charles C. W. Cooke.
Cooke was born in Great Britain and marveled at the freedom and mobility of American society from afar. He liked it even better when he moved here. Alas, he sees the re-election of Barack Obama as an unparalleled catastrophe and asks, "If we are to lose America as it has been, could we not ask that it be lost to something better than this?":
But, consider this: A president of the United States just ran a reelection campaign based on the promise of government largess, exploitation of class division, the demonization of success, the glorification of identity politics, and the presumption that women are a helpless interest group; and he did so while steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the looming — potentially fatal — crisis that the country faces. And it worked.
Worse, as David Harsanyi has observed, "the president's central case rests on the idea that individuals should view government as society's moral center, the engine of prosperity and the arbiter of fairness." This stunted and tawdry vision of American life was best summed up in his campaign's contemptible Life of Julia cartoon, which portrayed the American Dream as being impossible without heavy cradle-to-grave government, and in which the civic society that Tocqueville correctly saw as the hallmark of the republic was wholly ignored — if not disdained outright. "Government is the only thing we all belong to," declared a video at the opening of the Democratic National Convention. In another age, this contention would have been met with incredulity and confusion; in ours, it was cheered.
Cooke isn't the only doomsayer out there. Prominent pundits like Mark Steyn have also drunk the Kool-Aid and proclaimed the death of America "as we know it."
Others agree, but seek to motivate the right to fight back and do their best to stop the statist juggernaut.
I don't know why it is that the right feels compelled to exaggerate the probable consequences of Obama's re-election. It is utter nonsense to posit disaster for the country when you base that prediction on a flawed, wildly imaginative analysis of what an Obama second term will bring.
We don't have a "cradle to grave" welfare state now, nor will we have one in four years when Obama leaves office. The president can issue executive order after executive order to try to realize that goal, but good luck, Barry, getting the money to pay for it. Money bills still technically originate in the House of Representatives -- a body controlled by the Republican Party. I daresay if the president believed the GOP were obstructionists during his first term, he ain't seen nothing yet.
There will be a lot of can kicking in an Obama second term. And while we have a debt and deficit crisis, it is not at the point that it would collapse the economy any time soon. Modest economic growth in the next few years will result in a corresponding rise in revenue, thus bringing the deficit down to a more manageable level (along with some token budget cuts). There are pitfalls to avoid, but the short-term fixes that will be agreed to by both sides will allow us to avoid any kind of a massive economic meltdown so confidently predicted by many.

[1]The much-anticipated launch of a massive online multiplayer version of a popular video game[2] proved too much for Take-Two Interactive Software's (TTWO[3]) servers.
Players rushed to join the Internet version of Grand Theft Auto V when it opened on Tuesday, generating so much digital traffic that it overwhelmed the company's systems, blocking many players from logging in, the Washington Post notes.
Frustrated gamers aired their complaints on Twitter. The company tweeted that its technicians were working to resolve the connection problems with GTA Online.
Gamers snapped up the console version of the game when it hit stores last month[4], producing record-shattering sales of $1 billion in just three days.
With interest in the online version expected to be high, Take-Two had expanded its server capacity ahead of the online launch. But demand apparently exceeded even the revised estimates.
GTA Online offers players the ability to acquire in-game accessories in exchange for real world money[5] using online currency, dubbed GTA$.
Shares of Take-Two Interactive Software fell more than 1% in Wednesday morning trading.

Winter Meetings are over, but there's still work to be done
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Winter Meetings are over. The Orioles continue to look for a bat and pitching. The Nationals need a lefty reliever and a decision from first baseman Adam LaRoche. Here's what the other American League East and National League East teams are doing: * Yankees: Strange how quiet they were at the meetings, considering they need a catcher, third baseman, DH and

Another bit of advice goes along the same lines as "if you ain't rubbin you ain't racing." If you're not falling down a lot you're not getting better. Get it straight in your head that you're going to make the drop and really dig in for the bottom turn. Keep your weight low and slightly back on your turns and commit to each turn. Pretty soon you'll be stringing them together once you figure out where they work on what section of waves.
None of this will work without a lot of time in the water though.
Aug 16, 2012, 03:23 PM #23
repetitive is the best tool to learning.do it over and over.maybe your riding too big of a board and try to do a bottom turn on a 2ft wave,i dont know,but for smaller waves you need something small like a dumpster diver or a rnf to get over those foam sections.its all in the hips.you have to lay it on rail and dig deep.surfing takes time.just go out and have fun.i think too many people are trying to make it as a pro or something and just push themselves and take all the fun out the experience.all top surfers will say,you never stop learning.the ocean is a twisted girl and she will beat the poop outta ya
There is a guy on youtube, some Australian dude who has instructional videos. Search how to __________ and type in what ever you are trying to learn in surfing. Check it out, he does beginner through expert advice on surfing and tricks and stuff.

1. Buy a skateboard.
2. Find yourself a concrete bowl (Long Branch).
3. Spend hours learning to pump the transitions and keeping your momentum going without "pushing".
Not only will you work every muscle in your body, you'll learn to draw lines immediately or you will lose all your speed and stop. You can always tell those in the water that skate (or have spent a good portion of their lives skating). It'll do wonders for your surfing and will teach you how to surf off of your back foot (unlike snowboarding unless you're in deeeeeep snow). Spend as much time as you can in the water. It amazes me how many people u-turn in the parking lot and don't paddle out because it's small and inconsistent in the summer. Just my $0.02, but I think it'll help you out.

Excellent advice.............Also watch vids on youtube of Joel Parkinson, the King of Carve in my opinion. Don't just watch him on the wave. Watch his placement on the board, leg positions in and out of the carve, hip motion, where his arms are and watch where he looks as he sets up his next motion.

You should be practice a lot more under a special trained trainer who tell you all about because "practice makes man perfect" or you may go through surfing videos which make you how to get better improvement in surfing.
Aug 17, 2012, 11:26 AM #29
Hey all,
I'd say that I am a novice surfer right now. I can pop up fine, start to do a little carving, but I can't ride down the line and carve the face of the wave yet like I see more intermediate and advanced surfers doing.
"How do I get better at this? (bottom turns, top turns, riding down the line etc.)
What are the steps to doing the things I listed above?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it! "
Not to sound like a wise a$$. But surf a lot and watch guys better than you. That's about it.

On the Range
April 23 - 29, 2013
|"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013."
My week...
- Has been spent with the front door open. As a way of explaining my absence--apart from celebrating the queen's fifth birthday and the visit of a much-missed mother--note exhibit A below:
- All of my library holds arrived in the same week (does this happen to you?), so I now have in my possession a stack of books that make me out to be more intelligent than deserved. They are:
- A Victorian rebel: the life of William Morris by...somebody I can't remember
- Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
- Lean In: women, work, and the will to lead (the sound recording) by Sheryl Sandburg
- The Sound and the Fury & As I lay Dying by William Faulkner
- Persuasion (annotated version) by Jane Austen (and the annotator, name I can't recall)
- Mom and I watched a few episodes of "Bored to Death" the past few nights, and I chuckled a lot out loud, which is my only requirement of 30-minute programming. I recommend it if you can find it at your library.
I'm going now to catch up on the blogs, since all I could manage in the past week is Elle's hilarious portrayal of the horseshittery (her word, stolen by yours truly) of fellow parents. Her mordant humor slays me. Also, I wish I could say I've been cooking, but apart from cranking out Dutch babies by the armful, I've been on a heat-and-serve kick. Must be all that spring fever.
What have y'all been up to while I've been gone? Do tell of your doings, lovelies.

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
What happened to Clive Owen? No, really - I wanna know. I thought he was it. The next thing. The return of the tough guy with a heart. Handsome but not delicate. Rugged but not thuggish. And for a while there, things were going so well.
Remember Croupier (1998)? Those brooding eyes, sunk deep into that tough-guy mug? And a British accent. Swoon. Plus, you know, gambling and tuxedos and desperate characters - a lovely little piece of modern noir.
He showed up again in Gosford Park (2001), as a guy with murder on his mind, but still all matter-of-fact about it. Not crazy-psycho casual, just matter-of-fact: I am going to kill the bastard. Which made it more human, and more chilling. Especially because we are supposed to be swooning over him right alongside sweet, innocent Kelly Macdonald, and indeed we are.
The Bourne Identity (2002) was a bit more conventional, but it was still good (and almost entirely wordless). Besides, it was a bit part, a toe dipped into the studio mainstream. Plus, he got a chance to die well onscreen.
I didn't see I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2003). Impression: small film, cool title, establishing tough-guy bona fides.
King Arthur (2004) was an understandable misstep. Who wouldn't want to play King Arthur? And it had that "gritty exploration of the reality behind the myth" vibe - or at least, it was supposed to.
Plus, Closer came out the same year, and gave Owen a chance to show some dramatic range in an arthouse production of a stage play.
Okay, Clive, give me wounded yet resentful. Frustrated in a modern sort of way. Rattled, yet still egotistical. Perfect.
After all that airless drama, Sin City (2005) was a sensible move - something stylish and light. Plus, black and white!
Which brings us to the high point: Children of Men (2006). A proper star turn. Plenty of action, but a heartbreaking high concept at the heart of things: nobody's getting born any more, and so humanity is doomed. Literary pedigree, political overtones, car chases, and some sneakily theological notions (love how he has to cast out into the deep at the very end...) Owen, c'est arrive.
I dunno. Maybe Shoot 'Em Up (2007) was inevitable. Blowing off steam. "Okay, I'm an action star now. So I'll make the most ridiculous action movie I can." Fine, parody yourself; get it out of your system.
But Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)? A studly Sir Walter Raleigh? This photo?
No wonder he took a break in 2008. If only he'd taken another one in 2009, instead of making The International, a film I actually saw in theaters, just because he was in it. Boy, did I look silly, sitting there all alone. Well, almost all alone. The Wife thinks he's handsome, too. This wasn't a parody of international intrigue action flicks. This was just a bad international intrigue action flick. The kind you might see from a generic action movie star, only a hair more highbrow, what with the financial shenanigans and the shootout in the Guggenheim.
The International helped me to understand Trust (2010). Small film, very human part (Dad fretting over inability to protect daughter from world). Owen even managed to be the secret star: the eye is naturally drawn to the daughter, because her sufferings are more overt. But Owen is the dramatic center of things, the one who has to come to grips with the world before the world destroys him. Unfortunately, I don't think the film even managed to get released.
And that brings us to last year's Killer Elite (2011). The less said, the better. A bad joke of a film, insulting and loud. What happened? How did Clive Owen start playing in extended sunglass commercials?
You asked a good question and provided an excellent answer. Clive Owen was so memorable in films like "Croupier," "Gosford Park," and "Closer" that it seemed reasonable to expect many more such performances. I still hope that will happen. I'm not giving up on Clive.
It appeared as though he was poised to be the new Robert Mitchum. Now we're lucky if he'll play the love interest in a new Jennifer Aniston picture.
Ace reflections, Matt. Nice photo gallery, too. Maybe Owen is too subtle for the mass-meat market, not quite refined enough for the art-theater regulars (they're all at home, anyway, glued to 'Downton Abbey'). It isn't all that easy for good British actors to really "cross the pond" into big stardom. Owen seemed set to be a new, slightly more vulnerable Bob Mitchum (Stanley Baker tried for that, 50 years ago, but was too emotionally walled-off for it to work). Might still happen for Clive, if he can get a movie that really merges 'Brighton Rock' and 'Out of the Past.' I could see him pulling off Holly Martins or Harry Lime in a new 'Third Man,' but that movie is unrepeatable. He would have been a better Jason Bourne than Matt Damon is.
Thank you kindly, all.
Sin City-loved him in it!

MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Twins are once again fighting with one hand tied behind their back.
On a team that is limited in power, fielding a lineup few pitchers fear, they are once again making due without the services of former MVP Justin Morneau.
About the only good news for the native of New Westminster, B.C., is that his latest injury isn't related to the severe concussion that came close to ending his career in 2010.
This time, it's a sore left wrist that has sent Morneau to the shelf. His wrist started hurting on the Twins' west coast trip and he was placed on the DL backdated to May 1.
"It's better to get it right now rather than have it drag on through the summer and not be as effective or productive as I can be," Morneau, the 2006 American League MVP, said at the time. "Get it right now and be able to play the rest of the year healthy instead of battling through something and not being effective at all.
"But the (tendon) doesn't feel loose, which is a good sign. So I'll stay positive and hope it's part of the process."
Ever since Morneau was struck in the head by the knee of Blue Jays shortstop John McDonald on July 7, 2010, while attempting to break up a double play at second base, it's been a nightmare for the Twins' big first baseman.
His 2010 season ended that day. Last year, he was able to participate in just 69 games due to a variety of knee and wrist injuries before concussion symptoms resurfaced in August. In those 69 games, Morneau hit .227 (60-for-264) and delivered just four home runs and 30 RBIs.
This season, Morneau has appeared in 20 games and is hitting .230 (17-for-74) with four homers and nine RBIs.
Morneau attempted to play in Monday's game against the Angels, but was scratched. An MRI on Tuesday showed inflammation and fluid around his wrist, but no structural damage.
"Obviously, he's a huge factor in our lineup," Twins pitcher Nick Blackburn told the StarTribune. "He's been squaring so many balls up so far this season, his numbers don't really show what he's been doing at the plate. He's been crushing the ball."
Overall, the Twins have scored the second fewest runs in the American League and are dead last in home runs with all of 17.
Blue Jays at Twins
Thursday, 8:10 p.m. RHP Henderson Alvarez vs. RHP Jason Marquis
Friday, 8:10 p.m. RHP Kyle Drabek vs. RHP Nick Blackburn
Saturday, 7:10 p.m. RHP Drew Hutchison vs. LHP Francisco Liriano
Sunday, 2:10 p.m. LHP Ricky Romero vs. LHP Scott Diamond
DH/C/1B/OF Ryan Doumit has four home runs and a club-leading 17 RBIs.
Rookie LHP Scott Diamond, who was just called up from triple-A Rochester, pitched seven shutout innings on Tuesday.
Reliever Jarid Burton has allowed just three hits in 12 innings and is on a run of 32 consecutive hitless at-bats against the opposition.
3B Danny Valencia is hitting .198 (19-for-96) and has gone hitless in his past 21 at-bats.
LHP Francisco Liriano has been brutal in a starting role as he has gone 0-5 with a horrendous 9.45 ERA. In 26.2 innings, he has allowed 37 hits and walked 19.
RF Trevor Plouffe is batting just .140 (6-for-43) with one home run and two RBIs.
The Minnesota Twins are in a rebuilding mode and are suffering the consequences as they sport the worst record in the American League — 8-21. They are dead last in team ERA at 5.39 and have scored the second-fewest runs in the league: 159. That is a deadly combination. They also have no power as they are also dead last in home runs, having hit just 17. Canada's own Justin Morneau is also out of the lineup and on the DL with a wrist injury.
The Jays may be going through a re-group of their own, but they should be able to win three of four, closer or no closer.

A Little History...Faulkner County, the reputation of which has rapidly spread in recent years, was organized in accordance with an act of the State legislature, approved April 12, 1873. The act provided that all that portion of the counties of Conway and Pulaski included within the boundaries herein named:"Beginning at the point where the township line dividing Townships 3 and 4 crosses the Arkansas River, and running east with said line to range line dividing Ranges 10 and 11 west; thence with said range line to township line dividing Townships 8 and 9 north; thence west with said line to the section line dividing Sections 3 and 4, Township 8, Range 14 west; thence south with said line to the North Fork of Cadron Creek; thence with the meanderings (following the middle of the channel) of said creek, to the middle of the Arkansas River' thence with said river to the place of beginning," should be formed into a separate and distinct county to be called and known by the name of Faulkner*. By further provisions of the act A.D. Thomas, A.F. Livingston and J.F. Comstock were appointed commissioners to locate the seat of justice, procure title to the site thereof, to lay out a town, and sell the lots and make deeds of conveyance to individual purchasers, and to appropriate the proceeds arising from the sale of the lots to the erection of the proper public buildings, etc. The act also provided that the temporary seat of justice should be established at Conway Station, and that the Governor should appoint the necessary county officers, to hold their positions until the next general election, etc.
At this time the county courts of the State of Arkansas, were composed of a board of supervisors for each county. Accordingly after the proper officers had been appointed by his Excellency, Elisha Baxter, Governor of Arkansas, Hon. E.L. Allen, M.R. Sevier, and A.J. Horton, members of the board of commissioners, assembled at Conway, May 5, 1873, and organized their court by taking the oath of office as prescribed by law, and electing Hon. E. L. Allen, president of the board. C.H. Lander, clerk, and Benter Turner, sheriff, also appeared in their official capacity, and the thus the first court of Faulkner County was formed, and the organization of the county completed. Very little business was transacted at this term of the court. At its second session held also in May, the court sub-divided the county into thirteen road districts, and appointed overseers for each one. The commissioners appointed by the act creating the county, to select a site for the seat of justice, selected Conway, the temporary seat, for the permanent county seat. A town having already been laid out at this place no tract of land was purchased by the commissioners on which to lay out a town, but September 19, 1873, Col. A.P. Robinson, the original proprietor of the site of Conway, and the man who laid out the town, donated to the county, and conveyed by proper deeds, the large and beautiful square now occupied with the public buildings. This square is 350 feet east and west, by 460 feet north and south, and is a part of block 26, according to the plat of the town. It consist in part of open prairie, and parts are covered with small natural forests; and certainly no county in the State can boast of a larger or more handsome court yard so far as nature has provided for its beauty. (Godspeed's 1890)

Braves-Pirates Preview
Andrew McCutchen's return couldn't snap the Pittsburgh Pirates' skid.
Perhaps Gerrit Cole's comeback from an injury can provide them with a spark they're desperately looking for.
Pittsburgh looks to avoid its longest losing streak in three years in Wednesday night's series finale with the surging Atlanta Braves.
The Pirates (64-62) suffered an 11-3 drubbing at the hands of Atlanta on Tuesday night - their seventh in a row after a 7-3 loss in Monday's opener.
McCutchen went 0 for 4 upon being activated from the disabled list after missing 14 games with fractured rib cartilage. He left after grounding into a double play in the eighth inning with the outcome all but decided, and said he didn't experience any discomfort.
"This is definitely something I'm trying to do, get back in the rhythm of things, get back in the swing of things," the reigning NL MVP said. "That will come sooner rather than later."
Pittsburgh hasn't dropped eight straight since a 10-game slide from July 29-Aug. 7, 2011, and hasn't been swept at home in a series of at least three games since Sept. 18-20, 2012, against Milwaukee.
Atlanta is aiming for its first series sweep of at least three games in Pittsburgh since June 1-3, 2001.
The Pirates are hoping Cole (7-4, 3.78 ERA) can end the club's slide in his first start since July 4 after being sidelined with a sore right lat.
Cole, who went 3-1 with a 2.01 ERA in four rehab starts for Triple-A Indianapolis, had won three of four starts prior to landing on the DL. He capped that stretch with five scoreless innings of one-hit ball in an 8-2 victory over Philadelphia.
Besides Pittsburgh, Atlanta is the lone NL team Cole has yet to face.
The Braves (66-60) have recorded 10 homers and 33 runs during a five-game winning streak. Justin Upton was 2 for 4 Tuesday with his 24th homer - his fifth in 12 games to improve his average to .382 during a 10-game hitting streak, a span in which he has 14 RBIs.
"He gets hot and he can carry us," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He's done that a few months so it's nice to have that big bat right behind (Freddie) Freeman, who is starting to roll the pole a little bit also."
Freeman was 2 for 3 Tuesday and is hitting .457 over his last 13 games. Jason Heyward had two hits with three RBIs after going 3 for 4 with a homer on Monday.
Alex Wood (9-9, 3.07) gets the nod for Atlanta. He is 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA over his last four starts and 4-3 with a 2.73 ERA over 10 outings since rejoining the rotation on June 25. Wood has been much more effective as a starter, posting a 2.84 ERA in 17 games compared to a 4.70 mark over his 11 relief appearances.
The Braves also showed plenty of pop in his 7-2 win over Oakland on Friday, hitting four home runs as Wood limited the Athletics to two runs in six innings. His 3.37 run-support average still ranks as the lowest among the five Atlanta pitchers with at least 10 starts.
Travis Snider is 16 for 38 during a 10-game hitting streak for Pittsburgh after going 2 for 4 with a double Tuesday.

Love Arcade: Love Arcade
This kid is out to prove there's more than one Jack White-type in Detroit who can do it all.
Love Arcade
Love ArcadeLabel: East West
US Release Date: 2006-08-08
UK Release Date: Available as import
Ah, the whimsy of youth. The innocence, ignorance and invincibility that allows us to leap before we look, speak before we think: it's a gift that's almost wasted on those who are too young to really appreciate it. Detroit-born and bred musician Christian (aka Snowhite) has been making the most of his years, channeling his energy into music projects of all kinds since the tender age of 14. While most other kids his age were entranced by television screens and video games, he was writing and recording an extensive collection of songs: a feat so impressive that it inspired his mother to start cold-calling A&R reps around the country to check out her son's work. The debut album features 12 from the hundreds of songs that Christian had laid down already, writing and recording each instrument, mixing and self-producing each track in his basement. Love Arcade came together as a band after four other musicians were recruited to create a vehicle to bring the songs on the road. While the spirit of youth is the overwhelmingly obvious quality of the record, for better and for worse, the result is still something more of an achievement than a nineteen-year-old should be producing.
Christian must love Weezer, been brought up on Cheap Trick and the Flaming Lips; you can hear it all in these songs. Beyond these nods to '80s and '90s pop rock, there's a nostalgic charm to the feel of this record. The songs conjure up memories of afternoons spent jamming in your parents' basement, or watching the cool kids from the block gather together all their instruments to make noise in someone's garage. Listening to Love Arcade's debut is a glimpse back to those times, but after a few songs it really just starts to feel like I'm trapped watching my little brother jamming with his friends. And by the end, I'm glad that the babysitting gig is a quick one, since the album is less than 45 minutes long.
The songs are reflective of everything there is to love about being young: they're quirky, simple and fun. However, they're also scattered, impulsive and, at times, feel almost pestering, like a little kid relentlessly tugging at your sleeve for attention. Relentlessly, like the choruses on songs like "Passenger", with the nagging hook: "All night in my bed / She is in my head / I can't stop her / I'm just a passenger." The songwriting wavers between basic to beyond simple, trite to cliché; that's also an accurate reflection of the lingering impression left by the record overall.
Love Arcade's stab at what a big radio single sounds like kicks off the record: "Keep It Coming" has the big, wailing guitar riffs, the layered vocals and the catchy hook that together create a practically perfect attempt at bubblegum pop. The rest of the album feels like continuing attempts to cover every base possible, in the hopes of getting a hit. With the upbeat head-bobber of the opening track, quirky ballads like "Moses", raspy rock attempts about taking a girl's "Candy" and even a stab at a dance track for the kids with "Can't Stop", the album is all over the place. This diversity between tracks makes it easy to forget the fact that Christian is the sole musician on this record: it's multiple pages out of the musical sketchbook of a scatter-brained teenager, more than an true introduction to a new artist. Trying out a number of different styles and techniques to find his footing is that natural evolution of youth at work. Unfortunately all this artistic dabbling takes away from any sense of album cohesiveness, and makes an entire listening a tad painful.
I'm clearly past the prime of the key post-Britney audience here, and I suppose that those kids may not be so concerned with incomplete songs and a jagged record as much as they are with choruses that they can blast out of their car stereos. Ah, that whimsy of youth. Still, there's a reason why we don't know what Beck sounded like when he was a teenager, or what a Weezer song was like before they reached legal age: young musicians need an arena to experiment, to discover and explore their talents certainly. This is all necessary preparation, but these are not necessarily the moments that need to be captured on record and released.

Ghost B.C. Reactions From Philip H. Anselmo of Down, Coheed and Cambria, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, and More
Fri, 08 Mar 2013 08:50:22
Down Photos
Ghost Videos
A sizable portion of heavy metal and hard rock's elite has fallen firmly under the spell of Ghost B.C. On April 9, when Papa Emeritus II and the Group of Nameless Ghouls drop their sophomore psalm Infestissumam [Loma Vista Recordings/Republic Records], the numbers of those possessed will grow exponentially. Infestissumam sees the robed and hooded collective move right alongside that aforementioned elite with a sinisterly catchy sound for the ages. If you let this band possess you, you might never be the same.
Given their indelible impact thus far, ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino spoke to a myriad of artists about their reaction to the band, what they think, and if they're excited to experience Infestissumam. Philip H. Anselmo of Down & Pantera, Travis Stever of Coheed and Cambria & The Davenport Cabinet, Jonathan Davis of Korn, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, and more spoke of the group…
Be sure to get "Secular Haze" on iTunes and see them live on tour this Spring!
Can you share your thoughts on Ghost B.C.? What was your reaction to hearing them or seeing them for the first time?
Philip H. Anselmo of Down & Pantera
Philip Anselmo: I heard the record, Opus Eponymous first, and I didn't know what to think initially. To me, it seemed like a bunch of old veterans who knew and grew up with all of the radio rock and early heavy metal that I did as a kid! The cover art resembles the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Also, there are all of the nods to Salem's Lot and horror movies. I was pleasantly surprised when we played the Download festival a couple of years ago together and we finally met. We got a chance to see the set live. I've got to say, it was very surreal. They're very delicate on stage. They're not a brutal, all-over-the-place type of band. Everything they do—even the vocals—is very delicate, careful, and well put together. When I found out how youthful these guys are, it was even more impressive. To me, it showed a lot of savvy songwriting and excellent musicianship. I genuinely think the world of those guys. I heard "Secular Haze" in demo form! What they've done with it is really excellent, and I can't wait to hear the whole album. I've been in touch with Papa Emeritus II himself. He's got to send me the new Ghost B.C. album [Laughs].
Travis Stever of Coheed and Cambria & The Davenport Cabinet
Travis Stever: I do like Ghost B.C. quite a bit. I really do! I'm anxious to hear what the new album is going to sound like. I first heard them a couple years ago. I'm a fan of a lot of the bands on Metal Blade. Brian Slagel hooked me up so I could hear a lot of the albums they had coming out. He's good friends with Coheed and Cambria, and he's a great dude. I remember they came to me. The cover reminded me of Salem's Lot. I was like, "Dude, I've got to fucking check this out!" I checked it out, and I was all about it. I actually went and saw Mastodon last year when they were touring on The Hunter with Opeth. I was excited because Ghost B.C. were on the show. I fucking missed them though I was so pissed! I hope I got to see them this year. Honestly, I'm hoping Coheed can do some shows with them!
Jonathan "J Devil" Davis of Korn & Killbot
Jonathan Davis: They've got that fucking Satanic pope [Laughs]. That shit is cool! I love all that Satanic shit. I heard one Ghost B.C. song, and I checked them out on YouTube. I haven't seen them live yet. We did some festivals in Europe they were on, but I didn't get to catch them. I've got to check out the new record!
M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold
M. Shadows: Musically, I'm all over the place. While we've been working on the new Avenged Sevenfold record, I've actually been listening to the first Ghost B.C. album a lot among other things. It's cool!
Watch the Video for "Secular Haze"
Ville Valo of HIM
Ville Valo: I missed them when they played Helsinki a few months ago. I heard it was really wonderful though. I love that '70s vibe and occult rock. I really want to check out the new record.
Greg Puciato of Dillinger Escape Plan
Greg Puciato: Everything is always a reaction against what has come before it. Ghost B.C. is indicative of that. They're the anti-everything that was going around and is going around. They're not some processed-sounding band. They don't have Facebook or Twitter accounts for their individual members. They're these bizarre characters you don't know much about that are playing this fucking stoner rock, doom, or classic rock you didn't even know existed anymore!
Max Cavalera of Soulfly
Max Cavalera: I've only heard a little bit of Ghost B.C., but what I heard I liked. A lot of people compare them to Blue Öyster Cult and Merycful Fate. Those are two bands I love, especially Mercyful Fate. I love all of their old shit. I fucking worship that. I think Ghost B.C. is very original and different. I want to get more into them.
Mlny Parsonz of Royal Thunder
Mlny Parsonz: A few weeks ago, I was at a local bar in our neighborhood, and somebody played Ghost B.C. I was like, "Dude, this is good! What is it?" I'd heard of them and seen pictures, but I hadn't sat down and actually listened to them. What I heard in the bar was pretty awesome though.

David Gauke is wrong to suggest that "it is illegal for the plumber" to take cash-in-hand payment for work done (Paying plumber cash 'morally wrong', says minister, 24 July). It is no more illegal to do so than to accept payment by debit card or cheque. What is illegal is the failure to declare cash received as business income and thus evade paying income tax due (as the Surrey plumber recently jailed for evading income tax of £50,000 found to his cost). And why is cash payment "morally wrong" for the customer? What a plumber or electrician does or does not declare to the tax authorities is their responsibility, moral and legal. Or perhaps Mr Gauke wants to make voluntary tax inspectors of us all?
Tim Feest
Godalming, Surrey
• The Treasury telling us that paying in cash is wrong is yet another example of the lack of joined-up thinking so regularly displayed by government. So typical of it to pick on small traders over a few quid while ignoring the £18 trillion stashed away in tax havens by big businesses and wealthy individuals. It was very late in stopping the banks from withdrawing cheques as a means of payment, and allowed the killing off of the cheque guarantee scheme, so tradesmen's choices for payments that won't bounce are now cash or card. Taking cards costs small businesses extra for the equipment, and the bankers then trouser another 4% or so of the transaction just for passing the money from one account to another. Given their options, taking cash is not tax evasion, it is common sense for small businesses.
Roy Prockter
Clacton-on-Sea, Essex
• I do not know if Treasury minister David Gauke thinks that it is "morally wrong" to strip public sector workers of their full pensions, to deny disability benefits to 500,000 or to cap housing benefit and to threaten 250,000 people with homelessness. But I do know he thinks paying tradesmen in cash is "morally wrong". That's all anyone needs to know about this government.
Sasha Simic
• If the coalition is having doubts about so many people working for cash in hand, it should hire more public sector workers, who cannot escape PAYE. (Cameron, Clegg and Johnson all admit paying tradesmen in cash, 25 July).
David Reed
• Is it morally justifiable to pay a tradesman in cash so that they may avoid bank charges? I fear I may be helping to reduce bankers' bonuses.
David Atkinson
Norwich, Norfolk
• If Cameron and Gauke want to go beyond moralising declarations, they could refuse to enter public sector contracts with, or allow lobbying by, any firm based in a tax haven.
Chris Pickvance
Canterbury, Kent
• I have just bought something from Vodafone in cash, so should I make sure I pay by cheque if I want them to pay the VAT?
Steve Knight
Hove, East Sussex

County unemployment falls, jobs gain
Jobless rate drops to 3.7 percent
Don Bauder 11:30 a.m., Nov. 17
I cannot believe she programmed those drums (not to mention everything else) all by herself. They sound live, crisp, and swinging, ever more complex with each listen. I better believe, though, that after 33 years of listening, I'm still underestimating this woman. (And that's eight years after she started making records. So we all have to backtrack.)
Jazz is the feel, swing is the ambiance, but the text is the intrapersonal waxing interpersonal. A very-good-to-great songwriter, she wants to concentrate on (for starters) how lonely people who look like they're having so much fun, can be ("Single Life"); then, the complexities inevitable in those who settle down, who accept a single partner with all the hopes, doubts, second-guessing, and fear, that implies.
Her private life remains as coy as ever and she still won't attach gender pronouns to her "you"s, but no one expects otherwise by this point. She shouldn't be revered for her orientation. She should rightly be honored for honesty and poetry.
She wants to sing about the loving soul including its less savory sides, thoughts of vulnerability and worthlessness and cheating hearts that most of us, I think, carry around and don't much care to discuss. But which, nevertheless, don't, ultimately (as thoughts anyway), shame us. She's even more tasteful with it than she managed in her rocking years. Indeed, it's all so damned pleasant, so impeccable, so casually masterful, it can take several spins to hear everything she's thrown away. Leaving the matter-of-factly naked heart.

Court Documents Revealed in iPhone Case
More Drama in the iPhone 4 Saga
I've suggested that all of the drama surrounding the next-generation iPhone could easily be turned into a movie, and now new reports are making the story even more dramatic. Just-released court documents show that Steve Jobs asked Gizmodo editor Brian Lam to return the phone to Apple directly, because it could hamper future phone sales.
Lam then wrote Jobs directly, asking Apple to announce that the phone was, in fact, theirs, and telling him he'd like to "work closer with Apple, too." Hmm . . . I'm thinking the answer to that request is, "fat chance."
Additionally, it seems that Brian J. Hogan, the 21-year-old student who found the iPhone, was turned in by his roommate, who was fearful that Apple would track the phone to her computer. And, according to the same WSJ article, Hogan was offered $10,000 from Gizmodo, not $5,000, and an additional bonus should the phone turn out to be legit. Perhaps the best quote in the entire stash of court documents belongs to Hogan, who said in regard to Gray Powell, the engineer who lost the phone, "Sucks for him. He lost his phone. Shouldn't have lost his phone."

Medicine and Biotech
The winning entry, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s Kalydeco, treats cystic fibrosis in patients with a particular genetic mutation by restoring the functioning of a protein that doesn't work. The drug, an example of personalized medicine, offers great clinical benefit to a small subgroup of those with the disease, which leads to a buildup of mucus in the lungs and can be fatal.
The Winners
- Gold: A Simpler Connection to Online Extras
- Silver: An Alternative to Disk Storage
- Bronze: Less-Painful Biopsies
More in Technology Innovation Awards
- Read the complete report .
Researchers have long known what goes awry in cystic fibrosis: Mutations to the CFTR gene inhibit proteins from properly transporting chlorine ions, preventing the lungs from staying properly hydrated, which keeps the airways clear of mucus.
Kalydeco interacts with a protein, allowing the door to open to chlorine ions. In addition to helping the 4% of cystic-fibrosis patients with a particular CFTR mutation, the drug may one day also help these patients with nutrition, fertility and bone-disease problems because the protein is in other cells, says Eric Olson, a leader of Vertex cystic-fibrosis research.
3D Biomatrix, Ann Arbor, Mich.: A cell-culture plate that allows researchers to grow cells in a three-dimensional environment that mimics the human body.
Fibrocell Science Inc., Exton, Pa: A personalized cell therapy to treat "smile line" wrinkles and potentially other aesthetic skin issues, such as acne and burn scars.
Corrections & Amplifications
Kalydeco, which interacts with a protein, may one day help certain cystic-fibrosis patients with nutrition, fertility and bone-disease problems because the protein is in other cells. An earlier version of this article incorrectly suggested that the drug could help a wider group of people who do not have cystic fibrosis.

Premier Concerts, The Bushnell, Kirschner Concerts and Manic Productions Present
Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell
The Devil Makes Three
Summer Concerts at Simsbury Meadows
22 Iron Horse Blvd
Simsbury, CT, 06070
This event is all ages
Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell
Old Yellow Moon, a new collaborative album from Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, is out now on Nonesuch Records. Released to widespread critical acclaim, USA Today named it "Album of the Week" heralding, "this dreamy duet concept…succeeds as much on the strength of the material as it does the blending of her assertive pipes with his sweeter, more malleable ones," while the UK's Q magazine asserts, "'old-fashioned country never sounded so good. It might be a record that looks to the past, but it has Harris and Crowell doing some of the best work of their careers." Additionally, the band recently preformed Allen Reynolds' "Dreaming My Dreams" on the "Late Show with David Letterman."
Produced by Brian Ahern (Johnny Cash, George Jones, Roy Orbison), Old Yellow Moon is the first official collaboration from the duo since Crowell joined Harris' Hot Band as guitarist and harmony singer in 1975. The 12-track album includes four songs written by Crowell as well as interpretations of songs such as Hank DeVito's "Hanging Up My Heart" and Roger Miller's "Invitation to the Blues," among others. In addition to Harris and Crowell, the album features world-renowned musicians including Stuart Duncan, Vince Gill, and Bill Payne, as well as members of the original Hot Band.
Harris says of the collaboration, "I first heard Rodney on a demo tape in 1974 and knew immediately from his voice and lyrics he had the right stuff. We met soon after, becoming band-mates in the Hot Band and starting a friendship that has continued and grown over the years. I always hoped we would someday do this record, and now I can finally cross it off my bucket list!"
Crowell adds, "The record's overall tone calls to mind that Southern California blend of country music and rock and roll pioneered by Linda Ronstadt, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons and, of course, Emmylou and The Hot Band."
Old Yellow Moon is the follow up to Harris' acclaimed 2011 release,Hard Bargain, which debuted in the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart. Associated Press called it "gorgeous" and said Harris' "silvery soprano is in fine form," while USA Today called it "exquisite…her unmistakable soprano, at once grainy and ethereal, still wraps itself around a lyric with an angel's delicate warmth." A 12-time Grammy winner andBillboard Century Award recipient, Harris' contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists' recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008.
Crowell is a multi-Grammy-award winner whose songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Norah Jones, Etta James and Grateful Dead among others. His 1988 breakthrough Diamonds and Dirt, generated five #1 singles and a Grammy Award for the song "After All This Time." His critically acclaimed works The Houston Kid, Fate's Right Hand, The Outsider and Sex and Gasoline were followed by the 2010 release of his memoir, Chinaberry Sidewalks. Earlier this year, Crowell released KIN: Songs By Mary Karr and Rodney Crowell. The album made its debut at #1 on the Americana and Country Rock album chart and spent three weeks at #1 on the Americana album chart. His honors also include an ASCAP Lifetime Achievement Award and membership of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
If a love child between Reverend Gary Davis and the Ramones blessed this earth she'd be sweating, stomping and singing with the rest of us in the front row at a Devil Makes Three concert. The energy draws us in, the music and storytelling keep us there.
Sourcing country blues, punk and folk, throwing in fierce finger-picking guitar, a little slide, power tenor banjo and rocking upright bass, Pete Bernhard, Lucia Turino and Cooper McBean create a multispanned bridge between musical styles. Their vocal harmonies wind tightly around original songs and breathe life into favorite covers. It all pours forth from a timeless pulse that pulls you to the past, flies you to the future and lands you on the dance floor.
"We like shows where people can dance," says Bernhard, "and it isn't about how great the musicianship is as much as the energy of the crowd and the songs themselves. I listened to a lot of old blues and country and singer-songwriter stuff because that's what it was all about. Townes Van Zandt, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly –– great storytellers, straightforward storytellers."
The three band members are from Vermont, where Bernhard and McBean played in a few rock and punk bands but found their most exciting common ground in acoustic music.
"My parents and brother were musicians and they introduced me to acoustic stuff, especially fingerpicking blues," says Bernhard. "I liked electric blues, and acoustic blues and country by Robert Johnson, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan."
When Bernhard and McBean caught up with Turino in Santa Cruz, CA, she learned bass and the band was born.
Since releasing their first album in 2002, The Devil Makes Three has played nationwide to raving, capacity crowds whose enthusiastic support has guaranteed the band a sizable and loyal following. They will tour extensively over the coming months, and are working up material for their fourth studio album; a new live recording will be released this fall via Milan Records.

Terrell Owens Apologizes To Jessica Simpson
Don't Be Sad, Jessica! T.O. Was Just Joking
Jessica Simpson looked a little bit grumpy yesterday out Christmas shopping with her parents in Dallas, her home away from home since she started dating the city's quarterback, golden-boy Tony Romo. Unfortunately, as usual Jessica is an easy target and getting more than her fair share of flack from the Cowboys fans (you think Gisele gets this when Tom Brady has a not-so-great game?). At least on a brighter note loudmouth Terrell Owens, who was pretty nasty about Jess yesterday, made sure to tell the press this morning that it was all in good fun. He said, "I tried to get [Romo] to call her so I can explain to her that she doesn't really know me and that I can be funny. . . . And that everything I say, the media will take it and run with it. It's not a big deal. I will try to rectify the situation between her and I." As for that pink jersey? She should probably still work on getting herself a more legit one before Saturday night's game in North Carolina.

There's a new boss with Manchester United.
On Monday, the Red Devils announced that Netherlands National Team head coach Louis van Gaal has signed a three-year contract to serve as the new manager at Manchester. The current Dutch head coach has enjoyed a decorated managerial career with stints at Ajax -- where he won the UEFA Champions League --, FC Barcelona, Az Alkmar, and Bayern Munich. The 62-year-old van Gaal will take the position after the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which means that he'll make his first appearance on the United touchline during their July 23 match against the LA Galaxy at the Rose Bowl.
The Dutchman's number two in Manchester will be United legend Ryan Giggs who retired from football in a separate announcement. The Welsh star calls time on a 14-year career that has seen the United regular win 13 titles for the Red Devils. Giggs served as United interim manager at the end of the 2013/14 season after the firing of former manager David Moyes.

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
So the trailer for The Hobbit is out today:
Seems solid, if you're into that sort of thing. Which I sort of am. But instead of riffing, let me share with you this delightful bit from a 1968 edition of the BBC's In Their Own Words focusing on Tolkien...
This first part is largely missable, except for a few choice bits:
Love the disgusted undergrad sophisticate railing against hobbit life: "I've never seen anything more bourgeois in my whole life - they seem to spend the whole time sitting around and eating meals, playing bar billiards and that sort of thing."
Tolkien reveals that the Ents are not a literary stroke of genius, but an outgrowth of a very personal interest: "I have always, for some reason - I don't know why - been enormously attracted by trees."
Tolkien on success: "It's a pity the book didn't catch on a bit sooner, isn't it?"
And please do not miss the wonderful girl at 10:34, talking about the difference between Tolkien's world and that of, say, James Bond or H.G. Wells.
The good stuff really comes in part two:
"It seems to me his work implies an escape from political and social reality..." says one disgusted Briton. "The cult of Tolkien, in America particularly, seems to be responding to this sort of failure in engagement with our political and social situation." Hee hee!
Early fanboys at 3:00! "The obscurer the reference, the better you feel when somebody else gets it."
Tolkien: "Well, it is meant to be escapist, because I use escapism in its proper sense - as a man getting out of prison."
And the kicker: "If you really come down to any large story...stories, human stories, are practically always about one thing, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death." He then reads a quote from Simone de Beauvoir that he calls "the keyspring of The Lords of the Ring." I love "keyspring" - it sound almost like a mashup of "keystone" and "wellspring."
Anyway, I enjoyed that. And if you're still reading, I imagine you did, too.
A two-minute trailer is all it takes for Peter Jackson to piss me off.
In the book, the first thing Bilbo notices about the Dwarves is that their beards hang down to their belts. Yet Thorin's beard in this trailer looks as if it had been trimmed in a Hillcrest hair salon.
And Thorin is supposed to be the oldest of the 13 dwarves. In the trailer he looks to be the youngest.
Thief. Thief. Jackson! We hates it. We hates it forever.


text: Where's a good place online or local (Eastside) to buy flies? I've seen Flyshack.com and flydealflies.com but I'm not sure of their quality. Any ideas? Love this site!!! Just went out on the MF Snoqualmie this past Sunday, didn't catch anything but I did get my virgin rod dipped in the water I got the bug after coming back from Vail with a 14" brookie! 5 minutes from my hotel!
