Very well constructed. Makes guitar set ups a breeze!
I found this Jig to be a great "Luxury" item in the shop. If you really want to get accurate with fretwork, this rocks! It does take a bit of getting used to for sure. There is a bit of a learning curve in getting a guitar to sit level and straight on the board, and getting the neck to be straight/level on the beam and at the right height. I would imagine that with a bit of usage and experience, adjusting the dial indicator heights and guitar leveling will become easier. Those offset dial indicator bolts are a pain to adjust. The guitar alignment moves out a bit as you are tightening down the ratchet straps so you need to always check the neck/guitar position as you secure the guitar. Once the guitar is positioned and secured, it works great. Two main complaints: 1. It would be nice if the offset dial indicator bolts were made easier to adjust (some sort of threaded inserts). 2. Would be nice if the jig had a coating of varnish on it just to make it look a little more finished and improve durability though! Cheers!
Very accurate results can be achieved with this tool. I'm actually bending this neck convex for awhile to reverse some bad warping before inlays and frets. We should have had these years ago! Only problem was one of my dial indicators froze up. but they replaced it no charge. Stew Mac treats their customers right.
3 and a half stars. The jig does work nicely, and all the parts on mine are solid and required no fiddling. There are however a few things that I would change (and will do so with mine when time and money is available). First, the strap that pulls down on the nut area does not lock securely by any means. You need a small C clamp on the strap to keep it from slipping. Second, the bent lag bolts that support the dial indicators are a bit of a pain. You need vise grips to adjust the height and squareness of the indicators, and the machine thread portion isn't long enough. Eventually I'll replace these by adding blocks to the side of the board and installing threaded rod with T nuts to allow the offset required for the indicators. Third, there should be about ten additional threaded inserts provided for custom placement, or at the very least they should be available through stewmac. Fourth, the leveler feet and neck supports need a larger flat area for safer and more positive support. Despite these faults, the neck jig is easy to use once you've done it a few times.
I got this jig several months ago, finally got to using it after having moderately poor results without simulating string tension. I have now done fret leveling of an electric fingerboard and redone an steel string acoustic one with a hump at the join. Boy, does it ever get the fingerboard flat. Yay. However, regarding QC, I have had trouble with the neck supports not fitting their bushings, the pads falling off the body support jacks. The straps being hard as heck to get to release. The finish sanding could be better. The wood used is good. The dial indicators seem high quality. BUT, barring all this, this jig is just the ticket. I have been told "aw you don't need that" Well, I disagree. If you have the $$$ get it. I can now level a fingerboard repeatedly and consistently with the same exact procedure and effort. Yay again. Stew mac will support you if you have any problems with it.
A well made and finished tool. I read the reviews and was pleased to see the complaints addressed and fixed in this current issue. I am a master machinist with four decades of building everything from NASA Spacecraft to Nuclear Submarines so I know something about quality. This a worth every bit of the price.
Great for fret leveling, and to straighten twisted necks. Thanks a lot
This along with Dan's Dvd's illustrating its use will open up all kinds of new possibilities in neck alignment and fretting
I've just done my first fret levelling job with this tool.... Really easy to use...i don't know how i could have done without for years!! I think STEWART MACDONALD'S should just improve the way the dialers are fixed...The DVD given with is really fine but please for the foreign customers put subtitles on Dan DVD,(in english at least, cause it's easy to understand by reading explainations, but also french and german for example) Everyone should buy this tool!
This thing works as advertised but the build quality of the jig itself is pretty bad. Holes pre-drilled on mine were not complete and the holes that were there had blowouts. The amount of work that it takes to make this not harmful to guitar finishes is ridiculous. The included video even shows you how to soften the edges on the neck rods and Dan himself uses leather (not included...)on some parts. I think for the amount of money this costs, perhaps Stew-Mac could make it a little nicer AND ready to go. I used a version of this at the Galloup School of Lutherie that worked much better than this and would have cost much less to build. It's only saving grace is that after much tweaking it does work as advertised and customers seem to be impressed by it. My fret dresses and fret jobs are rocking but I expect more for a tool at this price point. Come on Stew-Mac! Step it up!

Market rallies appropriately have been compared to the launch of a rocket. For a rocket to have enough momentum to exit the Earth's atmosphere, the ship must be launched with enough initial force to overpower Earth's gravity and penetrate the planet's atmospheric constraints.
Market thrust theory portends the market has an atmosphere of boundaries as well, made up of old trading ranges, resistance lines and the tendency of investors to submit to the urge to pocket short-term profits.
If a market move is to have a chance of overcoming these boundaries, the initial rally must be propelled with a thrust adequate in force to send the market through levels of resistance that thwarted previous rally-launching attempts.
In thrust we trust
In his book "Winning on Wall Street," published in the mid-1980s, Martin Zweig detailed a particular breadth thrust signal that occurred on rare occasions where the sum of daily advancing issues over any 10-day period was twice the sum of declining issues on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index. For an updated table, see "Traditional breadth thrust signals" (below).
After more than a decade (1992-2008) without a lot of guidance from traditional market breadth thrust indicators, such as Zweig's 10-day, two-to-one NYSE Advance/Decline Ratio Signal, there were three sightings in 2009 that generated a renewed interest in understanding these signals' historical significance.
The genesis of more recent thrust research came in the fall of 2009 when it was discovered that the signals described here are one of the more reliable intermediate-term equity index signals in existence. This does not mean the indicator doesn't miss opportunities, however. You may have observed that the signals went AWOL during the 1990s — a decade in which the S&P tripled. Nevertheless, the signals are too statistically significant to ignore when they do trigger.
Because of their rare occurrence, these signals can't be traded alone. You'll need something to trade if they go through another silent decade. After additional thrust research, it became evident there are other market internals besides 10-day breadth that can be utilized to measure the market's potential for launching equity prices from point A to point B. My initial research in this area was summarized in a research paper titled "Planes, Trains and Automobiles (PTA)." It was recognized by the Market Technicians Association (MTA) with the 2010 Charles Dow Award and is outlined in the following five steps:
- Revisit the significance of breadth (advance/decline) thrust in launching major market moves.
- Evaluate the utility of evaluating market momentum via measures other than breadth.
- Study the statistical significance of reverse thrust, commonly referred to as capitulation.
- Study the significance of lack of thrust signal sightings over extended periods.
- Combine all the above research into an intermediate-time frame trading model.
Measuring market momentum
The approach was to revisit thrust research starting from square one. The effort evaluated as many measures of market momentum as possible over time periods from one to 63 days and identified those that were highly reliable in signaling intermediate (three- to 12-month) moves in the S&P 500. Techniques studied included breadth (advances vs. declines), up vs. down volume, price change, Trin (volume in advancing vs. declining issues), number of issues making 12-month highs and 12-month lows.
Most of the indicators studied did not prove to be viable, but much was learned in the process, and it helped provide the basis for the thrust model known as the PTA tape model (referred to as PTA7, for being the seventh version).
PTA7 breadth thrust model
The PTA7 model utilizes thrust signals from various sources. We will address the new version of the breadth thrust component implemented. The cumulative advance/decline line on the NYSE is the traditional measure of market breadth. It customarily is used because it yields a broad measure of the number of predominantly Blue Chip issues participating in either upward or downward moves. Similar analysis could and has been performed successfully with other indexes as well as derivations of the NYSE Composite.
Since Zweig published "Winning on Wall Street" in the mid-1980s, the NYSE has become increasingly polluted with non-equity issues, such as bond funds. Most research firms have moved to equity-only indexes for tape analysis. This author's current research in this area uses tape data on the equity-only S&P 500 index.
The breadth measure incorporated here is simply the percent of daily advances over an n-day period as a percentage of both advances and declines (or issues traded minus unchanged) during the same period of interest,
where SUMADV is the sum of daily advances over n days.
As an example, for a 10-day period where advancing issues lead declining issues by a two-to-one ratio, we would generate an ADT10 of 66.66.
This seems like a logical equation for this type of analysis. It also has been referred to as a Zweig Thrust Measure. When using the S&P data set, all time frames from one to 21 days result in some degree of statistically significant breadth thrust at certain high and low levels of measurement. "One-year results" (below) includes a breakdown of the forward one-year performance for all days since 1970 as a function of the ADT10 level.
The category above 65, which was similar to the two-to-one ratio on the original thrust measurement, was up 91% of the time one year later for an average 14.33% return. Note that low levels are bullish, as well.
The approach on this iteration of PTA7 was to turn the computer loose on thrust measurements. It studied not only different time frames but combinations of different time frames. Based on measurements of intermediate market performance, which took into consideration three-, six- and 12-month average and median performance and the numbers of signals generated, the study stumbled onto an optimum breadth thrust indicator.
A PTA7 breadth thrust occurs when: 1) you get an ADT3 of 79.5 or higher, that 2) was preceded in the previous three days by an ADT2 of at least 84.50. This test was performed on S&P 500 tape data going back to 1970. This combination of two measurements has resulted in the 27 tape signals shown in "PTA7 breadth thrust signals" (below).
The genesis of this research concerned the absence of signals on the original two-to-one NYSE system during the bull market of the 1990s. The PTA7 breadth model produced four signals during that decade. These additional signals were achieved with comparable signal performance to the original two-to-one thrust signal. Note that the median one-year return of 23.21% on the 27 PTA7 signals had three signals still in play as of March 30. After all 27 signals, the S&P 500 was higher either six or 12 months later.
As we alluded, PTA7 gains insight into the tape's health from an evaluation of price and volume, but also evaluates reverse thrust conditions, lack of thrust conditions and periods with characteristics contrary to thrust environments (confused markets), along with some trend-following safeguards. While the PTA7 system's signal infrequency may make it somewhat passive for some traders, this same attribute, when paired with its accuracy, makes it an excellent addition to a larger collection of analysis tools and systems.

i'd imagine it's the "bad apple syndrome", but i still can't help but make the association.
i feel similarly about people who barely skim the more popular edges of any style of music and become obsessive about it (black metal obsessives who are only aware of dimmu borgir and cradle of filth, "diehard punx" who are aware of three punk bands, etc.).
i'm perfectly fine with people only knowing the more popular bands of a genre, but when they act like they live and breathe the genre it really turns me off, though i can rest assured they'll either eventually get more into the music or just go away eventually due to lack of genuine interest.

I've noticed there's no multiplayer in Blitz. Meaning no co-op or competitive action in songs.
That would've been a cool feature for Harmonix to come up with, instead, they let us "challenge our friends" into a "Score War", which I think is just crap and not good enough.
I'm sure there must've been some potential for multiplayer in Blitz...and I'm disappointed to find nothing of it in this game.

Synchronistic Birdlore
On Friday, the New Orleans-born saxophonist Charles Neville, who makes his home in Western Massachusetts, was profiled in the Hampshire Life supplement of the Daily Hampshire Gazette. To the question, "If you could spend the day with a celebrity from anytime in history, who would it be?" Neville answered, "Charlie Parker, in the hope of learning something about the sound he was able to get from any sax."
In Saturday's mail, I received the new edition of The NOTE, the journal that's published out of the Al Cohn Memorial Jazz Collection at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. Phil Woods, who's a regular columnist, has a feature in the latest on pianist Hal Serra, whom Woods played with in their teen-aged combo, The Springfield Rifles. Hal, who died on June 24 at age 82, was a year older than Phil, and he turned Woods on to studying with Lennie Tristano. In The NOTE, Woods writes, "[Parker] and Lennie were the A side and B side of the new music, as it were. Tristano was an explorer, not really a swing player, as his rhythm was a little stiff, but his harmonic concept was incredible. Bird had all the other stuff. It didn't matter what kind of horn he played, what mouthpiece, what reed—Bird made his sound. As Red Rodney said, he could play a tomato can."
(Lee Konitz and Charlie Parker; Lee Konitz Collection)
Doug Ramsey's daily Rifftides blog had a couple of recent entries about Konitz which occasioned my digging up an interview I did with the great saxophonist in 2003. I'll share more of this with you in the coming weeks, but here's something Lee said that only added to the synchronicity of the weekend's Birdlore. "I remember one time at the original Birdland club, Charlie asked to borrow my alto for a set, and I sat in amazement and listened to him play the music, thinking, 'My God, that never came out when I played it. I don't understand how he does it.' But there it was."
Here's a video clip of Konitz talking about Bird. The two altos were guest soloists on a Stan Kenton tour in 1954; it was a year before Parker's death at age 34, and Konitz offers a knowing perspective on the kind of trap that Bird's pervasive influence had placed him in and that his dissipated condition made all the more impossible for him to escape.
Tom - Thanks for this video.
Tom -
Thanks for this video. Anything that adds to the atmosphere surrounding that February, 1954, concert which I was at, featuring Kenton, Konitz and Parker, is very welcome to me.
Let us all be grateful that Lee Konitz is not only still with us, but playing as well as ever. And go to hear him when you can - let's honor the living as well as those who are no longer with us.
Jon Foley
Konitz interview
I believe the interviewer was pianist Dan Tepfer, who's one of Lee's favorite pianists at the moment. It sure looks like Dan.
Also, thanks for the wonderful tributes to Brubeck last week.

With five minutes to go, and the score tied 0-0, David James punched a corner clear which landed outside the penalty box at the feet of Eric Cantona. Cantona struck the ball through a crowded area and into the back of the net to win the trophy for the Red Devils. It gave Manchester United the double and capped an extraordinary season for Cantona after his comeback from a seven-month suspension

Although Le Morte d'Arthur is thought to have been written in 1469, the first known publication was in 1485, by William Caxton. Caxton's edition was divided into 21 books and 506 chapters. In 1934 another manuscript was discovered in the Fellows Library of Winchester College. The text of this second manuscript is more fully developed in sections than the earlier known edition and it is divided into ten parts, forming five larger sections. This later manuscript was published in 1947 as The Works of Sir Thomas Malory. This second text, with the divisions into five books, is the text most commonly used text today.
In composing this work, Malory took a body of legends, mostly French in origin, and adapted them to English life, with an English perspective. Malory's sources, dating from 1225-1230, are largely a selection of courtly romances about Launcelot. These stories purport to be historical accounts of King Arthur and his knights and of their quest for the Holy Grail. In addition to the French sources, Malory added material from a fourteenth century English alliterative poem, the Morte Arthur. Although it is probable that a real Arthur did exist (it is a common name), there is little actual historical basis for the stories, which are largely legend and folklore. Many scholars have attempted to prove the veracity of the work, but the attraction of Malory's work has always been the text itself, with its emphasis on courtly love, honor and virtue, valor and devotion, magic and miracles. Le Morte d'Arthur was immediately popular with readers and critics and has remained so. It has been an influential source for many writers, including Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene and Alfred Tennyson's Idylls of the King.

Belize Tours
- The Cayes
- Mayan Ruins at Altun Ha & Lamanai
- Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave
Belize is an anomaly. Peaceful, democratic, English-speaking, it seems in many ways not to belong in Central America at all. And indeed, to an extent, it is more a Caribbean nation than a Latin one, looking out from the coast rather than inland for its trade and alliances. On the other hand it has plenty of distinctively Central American features as well. Above all, it offers a blend of cultures and races that includes Maya, Mestizo, African, European, and Asian. On a Belize vacation travellers will discover remarkable marine life, profuse jungle vegetation, ancient Mayan ruins, and above all, friendly and easy-going people. Belize is this and much more!

Snorkel with stingrays or just get into the reggae pace of life on sunny Caribbean beaches. Experience a journey that introduces you to local culture and offers insight into the history of the Mayan heartland.

Holiday Films You Should Watch Depending On Your Mood
Let's face it, the holidays are upon us and it means one (of many) things: mandatory Christmas-themed movie watching. Whether it's with your family, a bunch of your girlfriends, or you alone with a glass of wine (we've all been there), inevitably you're going to watch some sort of holiday film. Once you resign yourself to that fact, it's just a matter of picking out the right movie… depending on your mood! Read more…

The Sound Of Music Live: How Did Carrie Underwood & Co. Do?
Back when NBC first announced its plans to air a live telecast of The Sound of Music, starring the charming but novice actress Carrie Underwood, there was a collective gasp in our office — except from me. I'm pretty sure that before tonight, I was the only person in the known universe who had never seen the Julie Andrews movie. So, while everyone else either avoided the show entirely or spent the evening begrudgingly comparing it to their childhood favorite, I took it upon myself to watch with unbiased eyes. And then proceeded to remember why it is that I never sat through the 1965 film in the first place. In case you're deciding whether to cue up that DVR, here's my take on the good, the bad and the snoozy of The Sound of Music Live:

Lilo As Liz? Nicole As Grace? Let's Look Back At The Worst Biopic Castings, Ever
Who doesn't love a juicy biopic? It's delicious getting a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of luminaries — but only when the casting works. The actor doesn't even have to look exactly like the icon being portrayed, as long as the performance is genius, we're all in (hello, Ali and Mommie Dearest). But more often than not, biopic casting goes way off the rails. Lindsay Lohan and her plumped-up lips as Elizabeth Taylor? Travesty! Teenybopper-voiced Jennifer Love Hewitt as the luminous Audrey Hepburn? Unfathomable. Colin Farrell mincing about in blonde highlights as Alexander the Great? We're giggling just thinking about it.

Here's a look at the top 10 music stories of 2012:
1. Adele Keeps on Rolling in the Deep
After a 2011 that saw her dominate music completely, Adele managed to keep making headlines in 2012, for both her music and her personal life.
After being sidelined by throat problems the previous year, Adele made her big comeback at the Grammy Awards in February, performing a powerful version of "Rolling in the Deep" and sweeping the boards, taking home six trophies, including Album and Record of the Year. She also scored at the Brit Awards, the U.K. version of the Grammys, and made headlines when she gave the camera the finger when her acceptance speech was cut short.
Meanwhile, "Set Fire to the Rain" became Adele's third #1 hit from her album 21, and she also squeezed one more single out of the disc: "Rumor Has It," which peaked at #16. By the end of the year, 21 had sold 10 million copies in the U.S. -- one of only 21 albums to do so in the Soundscan era. New music came in October when Adele's long-rumored James Bond theme, "Skyfall," was released to critical acclaim. It was the first Bond theme to reach the top 10 in the U.S. since Madonna's 2002 theme for Die Another Day.
In the midst of all this, Adele also experienced some major life changes. She began dating charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki in January, and in June, she announced they were expecting their first child together. At the time, it was thought that she had just gotten the news; in fact, she was already five months along.
In October, Adele gave birth to a son, though she has never actually confirmed the birth herself nor released the baby's name -- quite remarkable in these days of 24/7 access to stars' personal lives, but that's just how Adele rolls. As she told Matt Lauer in her NBC special Live from London, which aired in June, "I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces."
Adele ended 2012 by being named Billboard's Artist of the Year for the second year in a row. Her album 21 also was the publication's Album of the Year for the second year in a row. There has never before been an artist who's repeated in both categories in two consecutive years.
2. Huge Hits by Unknown Performers
Chances are that this time last year, you had never heard of the four artists who made some of the biggest chart splashes of 2012 -- unless you were Canadian, Australian, South Korean, or an indie rock fan. Carly Rae Jepsen, Gotye, fun. and PSY seemingly came out of nowhere to rule the Billboard Hot 100 and YouTube all year.
Carly Rae Jepsen's story was the most Cinderella-like. After coming in third on Canadian Idol a few years ago, she was toughing it out on the road as a touring musician when a fellow Canadian musician -- his name's Justin Bieber -- happened to hear her song "Call Me Maybe" on the radio during a visit back home. After tweeting about how catchy the tune was, he discovered she didn't have a U.S. record deal, so he and his manager Scooter Braun signed her. Justin and his pals made a viral video of them lip-synching the song, which unleashed a flood of similar videos, by everyone from Katy Perry to Sesame Street's Cookie Monster to the U.S. Women's Olympic Swim Team.
"Call Me Maybe" topped the charts for nine straight weeks, making it the longest-running #1 of the year, along with Maroon 5's "One More Night." Carly then proved she wasn't a one-hit wonder, by scoring a hit duet with Owl City, "Good Time," and releasing her U.S. debut album, Kiss, which debuted in the top 10. She ended the year by winning the American Music Award for Best New Artist, receiving the Billboard Rising Star Award and grabbing two Grammy nominations. She'll ring in 2013 live in New York City's Times Square, on ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest.
Gotye, the stage name of Australian singer-songwriter Wally De Backer, had been making records for years and was already a big star Down Under, but in 2012, the world suddenly became aware of his song "Somebody That I Used to Know." The song's striking video, which features a naked Gotye and his duet partner, New Zealand singer Kimbra, being covered in body paint, was first posted to YouTube in the summer of 2011. After inspiring countless covers and parody videos, radio picked up on the track and it topped the chart for eight weeks. Gotye ended the year with three Grammy nominations, and "Somebody That I Used to Know" was named Billboard's Hot 100 Song of the Year for 2012. He has yet to score a follow-up hit.
The New York-based indie rock band fun. had been around since 2008, but at the end of of 2011, a wider audience became aware of the group when Glee covered their song "We Are Young." Then, in February, the song was used to soundtrack a commercial for the Chevrolet Sonic, which aired during the Super Bowl. The song's popularity exploded and it ended up topping the charts for six weeks. Headlining tours, festival appearances and a Saturday Night Live slot for the trio followed, and they released another big hit, "Some Nights." fun. capped off the year with a whopping six Grammy nods, becoming the only rock group ever to receive nominations in the four major categories in the same year: Record, Song and Album of the Year, and Best New Artist.
The most unlikely hit of 2012 was a song that wasn't even in English. Thirty-four-year-old South Korean rapper PSY captured the universe's attention with his outrageous, over-the-top video for his dance/rap tune "Gangnam Style." Soon, everyone was doing the video's signature horse-riding dance move and the song shot up the charts, reaching as high as #2. PSY began popping up everywhere, from Saturday Night Live to the American Music Awards, where he danced with MC Hammer. He also performed his song onstage with Madonna. Meanwhile, the "Gangnam Style" video became the most-watched YouTube clip in history, with over 930 million views since July, and climbing.
Unfortunately, PSY's amazing year was marred by an early-December controversy: it was revealed that in 2004, he appeared at a protest concert and performed a song whose lyrics advocated killing U.S. soldiers. This happened just days before the rapper was to appear at a taping of the TNT special Christmas in Washington, before an audience that included President Obama. Psy issued a lengthy apology and was not booted off the show; he taped it as planned, and even received a handshake from Obama afterward. He'll ring in 2013 performing live in Times Square on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest.

3. Justin Bieber: Music Cred for a New Music Mogul
2012 was the year that Justin Bieber became a man, physically and musically. Not only did he turn 18, but he also released the most mature album of his career. His third full-length studio album, Believe, finally earned The Bieb some musical cred. Moving away from the teen pop stylings of his earlier albums, Believe earned solid reviews, incorporating dance and R&B sounds that had many comparing it to Justin Timberlake's Justified. Believe became Justin's fourth #1 album, but more importantly, it contained hit singles that garnered major radio airplay -- something which had eluded the singer previously. "Boyfriend," "As Long as You Love Me" and "Beauty and a Beat" were all top 10 hits. Believe also featured what Justin called his "Billie Jean" -- a song about Mariah Yeater, the woman who accused him of fathering her child.
2012 also featured Justin's debut as a star-maker. Back home in Canada on a break, he fell in love with a super-catchy song he'd heard on a local radio station. It was "Call Me Maybe," by ex-Canadian Idol finalist Carly Rae Jepsen. After tweeting about how much he liked it, he wondered why Carly didn't have a U.S. record deal, so he and manager Scooter Braun gave her one. A video featuring Justin and his pals lip-synching to the song set off a worldwide craze, and soon, Carly Rae had the biggest hit of the year. When he kicked off his sold out Believe tour, Carly Rae was his opening act.
2012 also saw Justin launch his second fragrance, Girlfriend, win the American Music Award for Artist of the Year, and star in his own NBC special. And let's not forget the headlines he grabbed when he and his girlfriend Selena Gomez broke up -- and then appeared to get back together again. So what if he didn't get nominated for a Grammy, and some crazy dudes in New Mexico planned to murder him? 2013 also looks bright for The Bieb: his tour continues and he plans to release an acoustic album in January.
4. Boy Bands Are Back -- and They're British
That shrieking sound you heard in 2012 was the female population's delirious reaction to the news that, for the first time in over a decade, boy bands were back. And just like that original boy band, The Beatles, these lads were British. Well, O.K., British and Irish.
The Wanted -- four English guys and one Irish dude who'd been put together via a casting call -- got things rolling with their cheeky double-entendre single "Glad You Came." It was covered on Glee, and eventually reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100: the highest a British boy band has ever gotten on the U.S. chart with a debut single. "Chasing the Sun," which was used in the movie Ice Age: Continental Drift, followed. The group -- Max, Jay, Tom, Nathan and Siva -- went on a relentless U.S. promo tour, appearing on every conceivable TV show, and got a big boost when they started working with Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, and opened some shows for The Bieb. They were nominated for an MTV VMA, several Teen Choice Awards and an American Music Award.
However, their year ended in a tangle of tabloid headlines, when they struck up a friendship with Lindsay Lohan, and had the bad luck to be at a New York City club with her when she allegedly got into a fistfight with another patron. Lohan then became a Wanted groupie, traveling on the group's bus from show to show, and the group called her a "sweetheart" and an "angel;" cynics wondered, though, if The Wanted was simply using the starlet's notoriety to up their profile in the U.S. The Wanted's biggest challenge, however, was spending the latter half of 2012 being compared to another boy band that would become, at least in the press, their arch-rivals: One Direction.
Also comprised of four English guys and an Irish dude, 1D's members were younger and prettier and, having gotten their start on The X Factor, they had Simon Cowell's promotional know-how behind them. Thanks to their super-catchy hit "What Makes You Beautiful" -- highly reminiscent of "Summer Nights" from Grease -- One Direction mania soon swept the U.S. The band's first U.S. album, Up All Night, entered the chart at #1: something no British group, including The Beatles, had ever done with a debut release. Soon, Beatles comparisons were flying thick and fast, as girls screamed, shows sold out -- including their entire 2013 tour, a year in advance -- and deals were signed for dolls, games and other merchandise. More hits, including "Live While We're Young" -- which deliberately copied the intro of "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by the Clash -- followed.
Liam, Louis, Harry, Zayn and Niall didn't appear on quite as many TV shows as The Wanted, but the ones they did do had a big impact, including two hugely-attended concerts on NBC's Today show and a feature on Barbara Walters' annual Most Fascinating People special. They headlined at New York's Madison Square Garden, won three MTV VMAs, appeared at the Summer Olympics and performed for Queen Elizabeth II. They announced a fragrance deal, and scheduled a 3D movie, directed by Morgan Spurlock, for release in summer of 2013. In November, 1D's second album, Take Me Home, also entered the chart at #1. And just when it seemed as though the group couldn't grab any more headlines, 1D member Zayn Malik got into a nasty Twitter war with Max George of The Wanted, and 1D member Harry Styles, the "bad boy" of the group, started dating Taylor Swift. Stay tuned for more One Direction mania in 2013.
5. Taylor Swift Will Never Ever Stop Making Headlines
Taylor Swift had an incredible 2012 even before she broke new records in October with the global release of her fourth album, Red. The set moved 1.2 million copies in its first week in the U.S., making it Taylor's second consecutive album to break the million sales mark in that time frame. She's the only female artist ever to have two albums accomplish this feat. By year's end, Red was second only to Adele's 21 as the bestselling album of the year, with nearly three million copies sold.
The lead single from Red, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," also became Taylor's first #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The song earned her a Grammy nod for Record of the Year.
Prior to Red hitting stores, Taylor had accomplished quite a bit, including closing out her Speak Now World Tour in Australia in the spring. According to Billboard, the tour made more than $123 million and played to 1.6 million fans around the world over 110 shows. She recorded the track "Safe and Sound" with The Civil Wars from The Hunger Games soundtrack, which would later earn her a Golden Globe nod for Best Original Song, as well as two Grammy nominations. Taylor also voiced the character of Audrey in the animated film Dr. Seuss's The Lorax.
In addition to launching her second perfume, Enchanted Wonderstruck, Taylor also kept the gossip blogs in business this year with her never-boring love life. First, her alleged former boyfriend John Mayer complained to Rolling Stone that it was not cool of Taylor to write the song "Dear John" about him, which caused her to label him "presumptuous" for daring to assume that he was the topic of said tune.
Next came her headline-grabbing summer romance with 18-year-old Conor Kennedy. Taylor's friend, Kennedy matriarch Ethel Kennedy, told reporters that she'd be thrilled if the two married, and Taylor reportedly purchased a home right next to the Kennedy compound. But soon that romance was over, and Taylor had taken up with One Direction's Harry Styles. There was also the endless speculation over which of Taylor's former boyfriends had inspired the songs on Red, with most agreeing that Jake Gyllenhaal was definitely one of the culprits.
6. The Reality of Music Competition Shows
In 2012, music competition shows grabbed headlines more for their changing lineups, and less because of the stars they produced.
American Idol, once a ratings juggernaut, lost its traditional spot as TV's #1 show to Sunday Night Football, while The Voice's strong ratings helped propel NBC to its first November sweeps victor in nine years. The second season of The X Factor was a ratings disappointment, despite the much-hyped presence of new judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. And ABC's entry into the music competition race, Duets, was a flop, despite the involvement of A-list mentors such as Kelly Clarkson and John Legend.
Still, American Idol continued to be the only music competition show to produce hit artists. Phillip Phillips, the winner of Idol season 11, scored a massive hit with his coronation single, "Home," partly due to its use in NBC's coverage of the women's gymnastics competition during the Summer Olympics. It was the first American Idol coronation song to reach the top 10 in four years, and eventually became the best-selling coronation song ever. Phillip's debut album, The World from the Side of the Moon, reached #4 on the chart. By comparison, the winners of The Voice and The X Factor have so far failed to produce anything approaching a hit.
The announcement that Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green would take a break for season four of The Voice and be replaced by Shakira and Usher didn't cause much concern. However, the announcement of the departure of American Idol judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler set off a firestorm of speculation as to who would replace them. The answer itself caused controversy: Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and country star Keith Urban were announced as the unlikely new faces on the judging panel, with Randy Jackson the only holdover from the old days.
A leaked TMZ video of an on-set feud between Mariah and Nicki during auditions provided headlines for days; Mariah allegedly claimed Nicki threatened to kill her, while Nicki accused Mariah of playing into black rapper stereotypes. Some accused Idol producers of leaking the tape themselves to create hype for the new season, but that was denied. Weeks later, Nicki said that she and Mariah had been "fine" on the set of the show, and told ABC's Good Morning America, "[Mariah's] been one of my favorite artists of all time since I can remember. So it's weird that everything was blown up like that. It didn't make me happy at all because she knows how much I adore her." However, in December, Mariah refused to answer a reporter's question about what Nicki brings to the show. Stay tuned for the fireworks when the new season debuts in January.
7. Maroon 5 and Adam Levine Continue Their Overexposure
If 2011 was the year that Maroon 5 revived its career, 2012 was the year that they kept the ball rolling. Thanks to frontman Adam Levine's weekly trip into America's living rooms as a coach on the second and third seasons of The Voice, the band was top of mind all year. In February, they performed on the Grammy Awards with the Beach Boys, and in March, they had a new song on the soundtrack of one of the hottest films of the year, The Hunger Games.
Also in March, it was announced that keyboard player Jesse Carmichael would be taking a leave of absence from Maroon 5; he was temporarily replaced by PJ Morton, their touring keyboardist. But Jesse's absence didn't seem to hurt the band: their new album Overexposed -- title courtesy of Adam -- produced two massive hits. "Payphone" debuted at #3 on the charts and scored the best digital sales week ever for a group. It peaked at #2 in the U.S., but became their first U.K. #1 hit, despite being written about a technology that few people use anymore. The follow-up, the reggae-inflected "One More Night," was even bigger, staying at #1 for an astonishing nine weeks, Maroon 5's longest-running chart-topper ever. They scored two Grammy nominations in December.
In 2012, Maroon 5 also toured South America, Asia and Australia, and announced a huge headlining tour for 2013. Meanwhile, Adam appeared in numerous magazine features, split with his Victoria's Secret model girlfriend Anne V and took up with another Victoria's Secret stunner, Behati Prinsloo. He landed a role on the acclaimed AMC series American Horror Story, and filmed his big-screen debut opposite Keira Knightley in the upcoming film Can a Song Save Your Life?
While his fellow Voice coaches Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green announced they'd be sitting out the show's fourth season, Adam intends to remain on the show, along with Blake Shelton. He told TV Guide, "I'd started to become cynical and jaded about the music industry and all the things that I had loved. This show kind of reinvigorated me. It's led to a renaissance, not just in my career but in my life." 2012 was certainly proof of that.
8. Katy Perry Bounces Back
On the next-to-last day of 2011, Katy Perry's world came crashing down when her husband, Russell Brand, filed for divorce after 14 months of marriage. But Katy spent 2012 bouncing back, big time.
Even though technically 2011 was Katy's big career year, she never went away in 2012, appearing everywhere to promote two projects: the re-release of her album Teenage Dream with extra tracks -- a package called The Complete Confection -- and her 3D concert film, Katy Perry: Part of Me. The Complete Confection spun off two massive hits: "Part of Me," which she performed on the Grammys in February, and "Wide Awake."
"Part of Me" became only the 20th song ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its message of post-breakup self-empowerment had many thinking it was written in response to Katy's split with Brand, but she denied it, saying it had been written in early 2010. "Wide Awake," meanwhile, was specifically written for Katy's movie, and is generally assumed to be about her split with Brand. It reached #2. Both songs came complete with big-budget, high-concept videos, which Katy promoted with MTV sit-down interviews.
In May, Katy received the Spotlight Award at the Billboard Music Awards; in November, the magazine presented her with its Woman of the Year award. She was also named Favorite Female Pop/Rock Artist at the American Music Awards in November and received a Grammy nod for "Wide Awake." Meanwhile, her movie Part of Me grossed over $32 million worldwide and was generally well-reviewed. A scene in which Katy is shown backstage breaking down emotionally after what appears to be a communication from Brand, and then then putting on her game face and hitting the stage for a concert, was a standout. Katy also took her second foray into TV scripted comedy by guest-starring on her best friend Shannon Woodward's sitcom, Raising Hope.
Katy's divorce from Brand was granted in February but it didn't become official until July. By then, there were already reports that she'd become involved with John Mayer. After a few weeks of the two being spotted together, they reportedly broke up, and then got back together again. They've since been spotted together numerous times -- at parties, at concerts, at restaurants, at a clubs and even at a tourist attraction in Katy's hometown of Santa Barbara, California -- but they really took their romance public in December. That's when the two, along with John's dad, went out on the town in New York City, happily posing for photographers at a Broadway musical. They were also photographed cuddling at a Rolling Stones concert. Let's hope this apparent romance doesn't end in tears.
9. Rihanna Courts Controversy -- and Chris Brown
Rihanna couldn't seem to stay out of the headlines in 2012 and she fed the fire, providing constant updates on Twitter and Instagram to her loyal and fanatical fan base, which she'd dubbed her "Navy."
The singer's complicated relationship with her ex Chris Brown got even more complicated in late December 2011, when he tweeted -- to no one in particular -- "Love U more than u know!" and Rihanna wrote, just moments later, "I'll always love u #1LOVE." That hint that the two still had something between them became more clear in February, when Chris appeared on Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" remix. Some fans and critics welcomed the track, while others questioned Rihanna's decision to collaborate with a man who had, just two years prior, admitted in court to physically beating her.
On Oprah's Next Chapter, Rihanna acknowledged that she had forgiven Chris, and revealed that she still loved him and was working on her friendship with him. Complicating matters was the fact that, at the time of the Oprah interview, Chris was dating aspiring model Karrueche Tran. In early October, though, Chris was seen hanging out with Rihanna in New York City, and just days after the pair were spotted cuddling at a Jay-Z concert, Chris officially announced his split from Karrueche. Not long after, he released a video in which he wondered aloud whether someone can be in love with two people.
The Rihanna/Chris Brown saga was almost enough to make people forget about Rih's record-breaking year in music. Thanks to "Diamonds," the lead single from Rihanna's latest album Unapologetic, the singer landed her 23rd top-10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while Unapologetic became her first-ever #1 album. Even the bad publicity surrounding her "777" tour -- in which she packed journalists and fans into a jet and flew them around the world in an exhausting, unsatisfying whirlwind tour -- didn't hurt album sales. The disc included a full-fledged duet with Chris Brown titled, appropriately, "Nobody's Business."
Rihanna closed 2012 by scoring three Grammy nominations. Her only professional disappointment of the year seemed to be her big-screen debut in the movie Battleship, which was panned by critics and is considered a box office flop.
Rihanna is up for three Grammy nominations: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Talk That Talk" with Jay-Z, "Where Have You Been" for Best Pop Solo Performance and "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris for Best Short Form Music Video.
10. One 1980s Pop Queen Falls, Another Reclaims the Crown
2012 saw one female music icon of the '80s fall, in one of music's most tragic losses, while another proved that she truly is, now and forever, the Queen of Pop...and controversy.
It seemed that 2012 was going to be Whitney Houston's comeback year. The Grammy Award-winning singer, whose struggles with substance abuse often overshadowed her musical accomplishments, had been gearing up to promote Sparkle, the movie remake in which she'd starred alongside Jordin Sparks. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
In February, Houston traveled to Los Angeles, where she was scheduled to perform at her mentor Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party. But hours before the event, news came that Whitney had been discovered unresponsive in the water-filled bathtub of her Beverly Hilton hotel room. The most-awarded female music artist of all time was dead at the age of 48. A coroner's report later would reveal the singer's official cause of death as drowning aggravated by a pre-existing heart condition called atherosclerotic heart disease. Cocaine and other drugs were found in her system, but they were not found to have contributed to her death.
At the Grammy Awards show, the loss of Whitney loomed large. Show host LL Cool J shared a heartfelt prayer in memory of the singer at the top of the awards broadcast, and Jennifer Hudson delivered a stirring performance of "I Will Always Love You" late in the show, working hard to maintain her composure as she sang. The outpouring of love continued with Whitney's funeral -- a "home going celebration" at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., where Whitney sang in the choir as a youngster. Whitney's The Bodyguard co-star Kevin Costner spoke of their long friendship, and Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly and more performed musical tributes to their dear friend. Whitney's songs and albums re-entered the charts, becoming hits all over again.
Meanwhile, Madonna kicked off one of her busiest years ever. 2012 got underway with the icon scoring a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for "Masterpiece," the song she'd co-written for W.E., a movie she directed. Next came one of the most high-profile appearances of her entire career: playing halftime at the Super Bowl. Her brief set was the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history, drawing 114 million viewers, more than watched the game itself. She scored her 38th top 10 hit with "Give Me All Your Luvin'," and the new album that followed, MDNA, debuted at #1 on the Billboard chart.
While she did take time off to launch her first-ever fragrance, Truth or Dare, as well as a designer shoe collection, most of Madonna's year was taken up by her MDNA world tour. The tour itself was rife with controversy, as the star made headlines for everything from her on-stage speechifying -- on topics ranging from the election, to gay rights, to support for the Russian punk band Pussy Riot -- to her penchant for flashing various parts of her body, including her nipple, onstage. Despite the fuss, the MDNA tour was #1 tour of the year, according to Billboard, raking in over $228 million over 72 sold-out shows.
Madonna also found herself embroiled in a few feuds in 2012, one involving her frenemy, Sir Elton John, who dissed her prior to the Golden Globes and later announced that her tour was "a disaster," her career was "over," and she looked like a "fairground stripper." He also complained that she'd been "horrible" to his friend Lady Gaga. He may have had a point there: early in the year, Madonna gave several interviews in which she appeared to be less than enthusiastic about Gaga's hit "Born This Way," implying that it was a little bit too similar to her own hit, "Express Yourself." She then hammered the point home by performing a mash-up of the two songs on the MDNA tour; each night after the mashup, she'd repeat the title of one of her other songs: "She's Not Me." During an October appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, when Ellen demanded to know what Madonna thought of Gaga, she would only admit, "Nice voice."

By zorilla (228 reviews) from Kew, Richmond , 10 Jun 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
This film so much wants to be a 21st century, post financial meltdown version of the great American tragedy, Death Of A Salesman ... and it almost manages it.
This film so much wants to be a 21st century, post financial meltdown version of the great ensemble film, Glengarry Glen Ross ... and it almost manages it.
Unfortunately writer/director John Wells is neither Arthur Miller nor David Mamet so when a great ending appears at the end of this film, he ignores it and carries on for another five minutes with a crappy one that defeats the point of everything he's said in the previous hour and a half.- Was this review helpful to you?

(48)A missed opportunity for a better film
By SallyTorquay (18 reviews) from Torquay , 04 Nov 2013This was a good idea, with some good actors, but it never really takes off, and doesn't really do much with the idea of recession, unemployment and people losing their sense of self when they lose their job. It can't decide whether it is work itself that is important, or the upmarket trappings of golf club membership and big house. The main characters never engaged me.- Was this review helpful to you?

By mandarin (4 reviews) , 19 Oct 2013Yea. A solid performance from some of Hollywoods finest, but very light on the gritty reality of losing it all. Just doesn't go deep enough with the pain and the absolute amazing character that is formed and found in the very small forgotten things when you're on your uppers. The Pursuit of Happiness gets it right...- Was this review helpful to you?

turning your back on coach johnson?so now that a new caucasian coach is hired at mckinley are you going to forget about the injustice that was done to coach johnson and his family?are you going to weather out another storm in a year or two?is it going to be business as usual?are you now going to finincially support the program once again?let us not forget what was done to coach johnson and turn our back on him.i hope he files his lawsuit soon and some justice will come out of this mess.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?There's a difference between supporting the kids/team itself and supporting what happened in this process/the board of education/etc. I'll give the BOE/committee minor credit for making the 'right decision' in terms of the 5 finalists in the end, but that tidbit of credit is far overshadowed by the lack of respect I have for how some have represented themselves in this mess, how the whole process went down, and most importantly the fear of what is to come with the current set-up as far as which people are in both official and 'behind closed doors' positions of power. You can support RJ and continue the fight to hold elected officials accountable while still supporting the kids and the new coach in his attempt to bring the community together. Lord knows he'll need it after reading some responses today and tonight to articles posted on the decision. It's amazing how quickly it turned from arrogant "we got our guy, watch out now" type posts to the time-honored tradition of claiming racism after the end result. I'm of the belief that the efforts already undertaken by Dave, JR, the Keep RJ group, the new foundation, and RJ's legal team lead to a change in this decision for who was selected as coach. Efforts were not made in vain and I'm sure there's more to come to insure this doesn't happen again.
turning your back on coach johnson?My memory is very clear about the last 3 months. What they did to Mr Johnson was not proper. These events will leave a scar on this program for quite some time. Those same scars will be on Mr Johnson and his family. This district is a microcosm of what is was 10 years ago. They are spending money on Mason Elementary and the schools in the SW end get nothing. Us SW'enders always get the backwash of the decisions. I think my monetary support dwindles with each botched decision they make. Mr Brahler needs to convince them that we count down here. Support is multifaceted. One will hesitate before they enroll their hard earned money into this program from here on out. Rightfully so. A basic decision won't heal the wounds bigdog I agree. My father would say "time will" For Mr Johnson and his family, that's all they have.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
A whole lot of the McK nation agree with you,only time will tell.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
I think RONJON will be fine,good people always land on their feet and he is fine family man...with a job.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
I'm not as familiar with the SW end schools as I don't live there, but I am not sure what you mean with the Mason statement. When other schools were being rebuilt into these educational palaces Mason was having full classes of kids being taught in trailers and still do. My son will start school there next year and while the scores and all the benchmarks at Mason seem to be among the best in the city I haven't seen anything being done to make the physical building improved. The bottom line is our entire district is suffering financially. I think, from the little I know about all of the candidates, that they hired the guy with the most successful resume, but I am not sure that is why he was hired. Maybe he was hired in an effort to hurt or diminish Coach Johnson's lawsuit against the district. And given the financial shape CCS is in, this was a smart decision from that angle as well. I am still sad about this whole situation from beginning to end and that sadness wasn't going away regardless of who would have been hired. We have an uphill climb as a district and right now our vehicle has square wheels. Good luck to Filtz and whatever staff he is able to put together. I believe they will need it.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
No other end of town has taken hits like the SW. Baxter, closed. Souers, closed, etc...Other schools are full and in trailers too. Fairly spend the money between the buildings who have yet to receive any upgrades. Only seems like the educated thing to do.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
Indeed .Mason is a great school, but is FAr behind some of the other buildings ( see Gibbs ,Worley ,etc...) That school has NOT been given an unfair amount for capital inprovement , in fact its the other way around ...Marty , your off base on this one
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?Not really. Would like to see our money spent evenly around the district and I'm sure City Councilman Fisher would agree. My point is that ALL buildings left behind without any improvements should be treated equally. Wouldn't you agree?
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?Your point is valid. Mason as your example is not. That's all I am saying.
With the financial trouble we are in as a district, I don't expect any major upgrades to any of these schools anytime soon. I would think it is much more likely the next 5 to 10 years involves enrollment falling, more teachers and faculty losing their jobs, levies not being passed, all sports becoming pay to play and more buildings being closed. That's the direction I see the district heading and no coach is responsible for this nor are they the solution to it. The number of wins on football may reflect these other problems, but I think our football results are the LEAST of our worries! That's my opinion anyway.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
once mck and timken consolidate into one institution with different career schoold within , the athletics performance will no longer be an issue at any time --- imagine timken and mckinleys basketball teams being one team with the top 12 on it ??? imagine the football team with Timken and Mck !! that would also so ALOT for the morale of all students .... the time is coming folks ... just a matter of time --but it will end up being a financially excellent move once the dust clears
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
yes , so what has been done at Mason that a school your noting has not had done but desperately needs it???
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
BANG...Sloan...It couldn't happen soon enough for me...MOT.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?CantonRep.com
CANTON — KEY ACTION The board voted 5-0 to allow schools' Business Manager Tad Ellsworth to seek bids for infrastructure upgrades at Mason Elementary. DISCUSSION Mason teachers at the meeting cheered when Ellsworth announced they would have air conditioning and new plumbing by August. He said the pipes under the building are covered with asbestos, and new plumbing is essential to keeping the school open. The school also will see a new parking lot, electrical system, and heating. Board President Richard Milligan said it showed a long-term commitment to keeping the school open. Every school not upgraded should have a plan such as this. That's my point. To my/our knowledge, there is none. If there is, please share with us as all of our kids need a stable enviroment conducive for learning. We all will agree to that.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
Would be a major WIN for Canton. Money wise it makes a great deal of sense. Pray that the board does what is best for our children and explores such a great idea.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?as this has become a side topic on this thread, all eyes can look to youngstown city schools as of last year or the year before housed their athletic teams in one building even if you are enrolled in the other building - they consolidated their sports programs but not their buildings - two campuses one sports program drawing from both enrollments. They did this to save money - as a test market for the above idea - I am sure research with their district could show if consolidating the sports programs would be fiscally a good idea. Actual data to prove one way or the other. with continual budget cuts from the state I could see this option being explored and researched in the near future. Not saying i want or dont want it to happen.
Re: turning your back on coach johnson?
Get your Ward together and go to the BOE meeting with Mr.Fisher,make him and them earn their salary.
