Spectators at the Battle Creek Balloon Festival Airshow in Michigan got a disconcerting look Sunday into the risks faced by aerobatic performers. John Klatt's Panzl S330 lost its left aileron during a series of snap rolls, but he was able to level out even as the control surface fluttered to the ground.
YouTube Frame Capture Of Aileron Coming Off The Airplane
In one spectator video posted on YouTube, the excited chatter of airshow announcer Phil Dacy is heard to stop completely immediately following the separation, and the recording captures spectators speculating that the worst is about to happen as they see emergency responders gathering. Instead, as reported by the Battle Creek Enquirer, performer Rob Holland, who was waiting on the runway to perform after Klatt, took off to get a closer look at the damaged plane. Klatt then made a safe landing without injury, but the plane was said to be damaged extensively.
Klatt's Airplane During Performance Before Shedding An Aileron
Scott Russell, a spokesman for John Klatt Airshows, told the paper the incident happened within the airshow box, and said of Klatt, "His safety was not in jeopardy and no one on the ground was in jeopardy...we are investigating along with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board."
Klatt did not perform on Monday's final day of the show.

Mindfulness: Hollywood Takes Notice
Since Jon Kabat-Zinn appeared on Bill Moyers in 1993, research on the applications of mindfulness has soared exponentially. If you've been following this blog you're highly aware of that already. His Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program has splintered off into Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for depressive relapse, Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) for addiction, Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP), MB-EAT for eating disorders and many more.
After the research became clear, corporations starting coming out of the woodwork interested in the applications of mindfulness for stress, productivity and reducing healthcare costs. Every year now it seems that Google, Facebook, Intel, Twitter and many more take part in the Wisdom 2.0 conferences, curious about how to integrate this into their work environments. Emindful.com has a 12-week live online program that has clear evidence of reducing stress in the workplace, increasing productivity and reducing healthcare costs. Mindful Schools, CALM for Teens, among others are bringing it into the school systems and now Apps for the various Smartphones are abundant.
But you know something has hit mainstream when Hollywood takes notice. In a new film by Paul Harrison, appropriately titled "The Mindfulness Movie," we see leaders come together such as Rick Hanson, Dan Siegel, Mark Williams, Dan Millman, Kristin Neff, Jeffrey Schwartz, and so many others (including myself) to weave together important mindful insights about what it means to us and where it is all going.
Here's a short clip to see what I mean:

Survey - What might be holding people back?In the past 9 months, 13 people have requested and been set up with user IDs on these discussion forums. Since a user ID is not required to read the forums, we assume that these IDs were requested with the intention of getting involved in the discussions. However, from these 13 new users there has been only one message posted. We're curious what it is that might be inhibiting people, and what we can do to help relieve those inhibitions.

Re: Survey - What might be holding people back?I am really excited to post my first comment and I think I am a first time user you refer to. I have checked the forum on a regular basis and I guess I have not thought of anything to post. With Facebook, the times I have posted or contacted someone, I have used that. Maybe FB is now the easiest way to communicate? Just a thought - FB is easier since it is used more often and I log into that very regularly. Offline #4 2011-05-13 07:25:48 am
Re: Survey - What might be holding people back?
Weve seen this suggestion before and have been reluctant to act on it, mainly for the reason that it seems counterintuitive to us. Do people really arrive at this site and say to themselves, I would post but there are just too many categories?
This makes good sense. Back in March we added a link to the forums in the body of the main HMRRC web page. It doesn't really stand out much and we wonder how many people have noticed it. We will look into placing a permanent link at the top of the page. Offline #5 2011-05-13 07:36:36 am

You make an excellent point. Facebook is huge and the bells and whistles that it offers can make these forums pale in comparison. Thanks for posting your thoughts!

Re: Survey - What might be holding people back?Its a pretty boring board because HMRRC is kind of a boring running club.

Re: Survey - What might be holding people back?Boring sounds bad. And dont people love to comment about bad things? Isnt that what helps bring about change? Your own comment contradicts your assertion that there is nothing to comment about. Offline #8 2011-05-15 02:42:15 pm
Re: Survey - What might be holding people back?I cannot even believe the words of Hounddogharrier. I had to read them twice!!!! Nothing has changed??? Has this guy been to a club meeting or an HMRRC race recently? We have new equipment; we have made a number of changes that have made it better for runners - such as eliminating those god awful look up your nmber lists. Same old races??? New races within the last five years has been Father's Day and Valley Cats. What about the 10 Free program? Definitely new in the last five years. How about the JUST RUN program for the kids started 2 years ago? How about the wrappign of the pavillion at Central Park in Schenectady funded last year? What about the $20,000 that we donated to charities though our sponsor CDPHP from the proceeds from that race last year? And how about the volunteer recognition program? Not bragging but I think it is one of the few that exists for race volunteers anywhere in this area or probably the state. Do you want me to go on? Offline #9 2011-05-15 05:15:53 pm

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for Spain increased 0.2 percent in August to 106.6 (2004 = 100), following a 0.6 percent increase in July, and a 0.1 percent increase in June.
At the same time, The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index® (CEI) for Spain, a measure of current economic activity, declined 0.1 percent in August to 93.1 (2004 = 100), following a 0.2 percent decline in July, and a 0.3 percent decline in June.
The LEI for Spain has been advancing for most of the past 12 months, but its six-month growth rate has slowed in recent months. Meanwhile, the CEI for Spain has been on a downward trend for more than two years, and its six-month growth rate, while still negative, has been improving. Taken together, the recent behavior of the composite indexes suggests that the current contraction in the economy will likely continue to ease through the end of this year.
About The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for Spain
The composite economic indexes are the key elements in an analytic system designed to signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle. The leading and coincident economic indexes are essentially composite averages of several individual leading or coincident indicators. They are constructed to summarize and reveal common turning point patterns in economic data in a clearer and more convincing manner than any individual component – primarily because they smooth out some of the volatility of individual components.
The six components of The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® for Spain include:
Capital Equipment Component of Industrial Production
Contribution to Euro M2
Stock Price Index
Long term Government Bond Yield
Order Books Survey
Job Vacancies

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguay's Senate approved the world's first national marketplace for legal marijuana Tuesday, an audacious and risky experiment that puts the government in charge of growing, selling and using a drug that is illegal almost everywhere else.
MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - Uruguay passed a law on Tuesday allowing its citizens to grow, buy and smoke marijuana, becoming the first country to legalize the full cycle from cultivation and distribution to consumption of the drug. The Senate voted in favor of the government-sponsored bill, a pioneering social experiment that will be closely watched by other nations debating drug legalization.

I do not have all the gas money in the world to commute to campus everyday or every other day, so the online classes are perfect. The work was challenging, but not so much because it taught me how to manage my time better. Even thought it's online, I still had excellent access to my professors. They helped me with anything I needed and I am glad I was able to take some online classes.
B A+F Academic Flexibility: The professors are flexible with students schedule one just need to have some sort of communication with them. The administration office is also willing to help as long as its in their possibilities.

A+ A+F Academic Experience: This school makes going back to school easy and fun. I really enjoy going to school here.

A A+F Campus Resources: When i was here back in 99 i stopped going based on a professor that was racist. In the end i appealed my grade and still was not given an opportunity to turn in my completed work that was completed for the class. In the end she was fired. After returning back 14 yrs later the atmosphere is way diffrent.
F A+F Academic Flexibility: This grade is given once again because of their piss-poor financial aid department. I contacted them to see how dropping a course would affect my financial aid for the fall and they simply told me I would more than likely lose my aid even though I could appeal, but there would be no guarantees that I would receive aid again. The registrar's office also either doesn't understand the requirements for "academic forgiveness" or the lady I talked to simply didn't listen when I inquired about pursuing forgiveness for my courses this semester since I had a personal issue affecting my ability to complete my coursework. She ultimately directed me to complete an online form, failing to mention that it clearly states on the form that you can not pursue academic forgiveness unless it has been 3 years since you completed the semester you are requesting forgiveness for.
F A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I give this grade solely to the financial aid department at my school. All of them except the one supervisor who helped find me additional aid have been rude and uninterested in helping me. Most of them should really consider a different line of work.
B- A+F Online Courses: The ONLY reason I am giving this grade is because of ONE professor I have as an online instructor in my game programming class. She is the most uncaring professor I have ever been associated with (and I possess a Master's degree so I have had many professors to compare her to). She has no empathy for other human beings as far as I can tell. I have sent her 3 emails and besides an out of office reply, the only reply I ever got back from her was with regards to a major personal issue I was having that prevented me from turning in my work. Her only response to this issue was that I should complete my work or withdraw from the course. Never once did she empathize with my personal problem. She must really hate her job. My other experiences, especially those with my networking professor, have been extremely positive in my online classes this semester.

With an undermanned squad, Piedmont High School's coaches got creative to beat bigger rivals
September 2, 2008 | 10
LOL< Football totally ROCKS. I love it.
"Any coach would be much better off using a cheap [Microsoft] Excel random number generator to make their decisions"
That's simply not true. Some plays are so poor for a given situation that they may be easily ruled out without sacrificing the prospect of genuine confusion by the opposition. For example, it's legal to try a field goal from your own 20 yard line when it's 1st and 10. An Excel-generated play might select just that. But any coach would skip that play as nonviable.
It seems to me that a-11 ADDS options, it doesn't simply randomize the existing scheme. Its not that the team is pulling pages out of the playbook at random, its that they have a totally different, much thicker playbook from which to carefully (not randomly) select plays.
99% of football comes down to execution, it doesn't matter how confusing a play is to the defense if the QB can't complete the pass. I have a feeling 'A-11' only works with talented pitch and catchers, this may favor a smaller team, but not an unskilled one.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI think maybe Aryes hasn't seen enough "good" football. For one thing, he is making an assumption that all players are of equal ability and are essentially pawns in his game theory model. Real life says you take advantage of your mismatches and play to your strengths. You need to be unpredictable but not random. Maybe, just maybe, you could make that random number statement if you include a caveat about the probable yards function for each play. Or in football words, halfback dive on 4th and 17 would have a small probability of gaining the necessary yards and should have a small fraction multiplier to that random play selector.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisFootball rules usually require 7 players on the line of scrimmage with only the end two players on the line eligible as receivers. That means you've got 2 potential pass receivers on the line, and amongst the other 4 players (7+4=11), one is the quarterback, so that's 3 more receivers, for a maximum of 5 possible receivers on a passing play (unless you do something tricky like pass the ball back to the QB. So if these plays are legal they are playing some game that's not quite football I think, it's more like ultimate frisbee, hardly a macho game

This is real, legal football. In high school, you can line up in a scrimmage kick formation on any down, and they coaches have realized that by doing so, you can legally have all the receivers potentially eligible If you have more questions, just check out their website at www.a11offense.com. This is potentially a real game-changer just like the forward pass, the shotgun, etc.
Hmmm, the A11 site seems to admit that these plays are not yet legal in 10 states. I guess it's catching on though. Anything that reduces injuries is good (if that's really true, as is claimed on the A11 site).

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisLook closely. The A-11 still follows the rules of 7 players on the line with only the two end players as eligible receivers. The "split tackles" are used as blockers on all pass plays.
I think this is awesome!
As the Piedmont coach said, their student body lacks typical lineman physiques, but they are blessed with a large number of "skills" type players. So rather than pitting undersized linemen against beefier opponents, the coach went to maximizing his team's strengths. Reminds me of Mohammed Ali in the early 1960's when he introduced the "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" alternative to two heavyweight boxers standing toe to toe and pummeling each other. It seems to have worked out pretty well for him and quite a string of other fighters since then.
It is sad that some state associations have banned it despite it being legal under the current rules because in the minds of some it just isn't "fair" and isn't "what football is supposed to be like". Sheesh, grow a pair and figure a defense that matches up!

Got my copy from HMV today with the DLC!!! Got both of the beta rewards too from the store which I was dead pleased about as I only played the beta for like 10 minutes and I don't even own Warhawk, but I played the trial version a fair bit.
Anyway downloaded the dlc and installed it so all good!
Thanks to HMV for a speedy delivery and for including my dlc!
See you all online hopefully once this update finishes and I install the game!

You guys might know something.
So I pre-ordered starhawk at Gamestop and picked up my game friday.
But when I entered my voucher number I only got the free warhawk download, none of the other promised dlc content was there.
Were the skins, homestead and bit of dispair thing exclusive to pre-orders in gamestop in the US?
If it helps I live in Ireland, also when I search for starhawk dlc on the Irish PSN nothing comes up....
Is it just for some reason the irish have been excluded? is there another voucher code hidden somewhere in the case that I missed or was I sold a lemon?

Ty, I don't think I ever gave them my E-Mail but then I do always pre-order games with them so maybe somewhere down the line I did.
I am usually used to the pre-order code being in the case when I pre-order from them but maybe it has been sent via E-mail, I have only had a problem with pre-order codes from them once before and that was with the shadow/Ico hd re release where the pre-order code I got just was not working and they gave me a new a one quick enough.
Il check my E-mail now and if its not there il pop into the store on Friday.

Bilderberg Bangs War Drums; Pushes Obama to Bomb Iran
Original Article Published at http://newsdoors.blogspot.com/2013/01/bilderberg-bangs-war-drums-pushes-obama.html
By James P. Tucker Jr.
Bilderberg luminary Dennis Ross celebrated Christmas by banging his war drums in a campaign to prod President Barack Obama into killing Palestinians and Iranians on behalf of Israel. Americans would, again, spill most of the blood and would finance the military operation. Israel will pay a share of the costs with your tax dollars.
In a Bilderberg-staged interview with The Washington Post published on December 23, Ross, who was an advisor to President Obama, made the case for invading Iran in 2013. Ross embraced the earlier warhawking by Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.).
After seven years of war talk but no gunfire, 2013 will "finally bring a break in the Iranian standoff—by means of a military confrontation, the appearance of an Iranian bomb or a diplomatic deal of some kind," Jackson Diehl wrote of his interview with Ross. "And interestingly, one of the people making that case is Obama's first-term advisor on Iran, Dennis Ross, who has worked on the Middle East in five administrations."
Ross said three factors point to war on Iran: "an approaching Iranian 'breakout' capacity; Obama's stated determination to prevent it; and the slow emergence of an economic and political climate in Iran that could prompt Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to change course."

Consisting of approximately 250 artworks, Rembrandt's Century presents a diverse picture of the art and personalities that defined the Dutch Golden Age. Drawn entirely from the Museums' permanent collection of works on paper in the renowned Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, this exhibition required months of preparation. Curators, conservators, and art technicians worked together to frame—both literally and figuratively—this important selection of masterworks.

Like or not, the holiday gift-giving season is upon us, the time of year we begin making a list and checking it twice. It's a good thing that Christmas and Hanukkah only come around once a year, what with all the stress gift selection causes. In 17th- and 18th-century France, however, the fine art of gift giving was a yearlong endeavor. Many objects on display at the Legion of Honor in the special exhibition Royal Treasures from the Louvre: Louis XIV to Marie-Antoinette are representative of the highly developed gift-giving culture utilized by the monarchy to solidify its rule.Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory (France, established 1756).

You can also bring your own small boat or jet skis and dock at our pier for the week.

The living room opens to a screened porch and a porch, both overlooking the Gulf.
Also on the first floor, you will find a queen bedroom opening onto the screened porch and a king bedroom that opens to a large porch with wonderful views of Little Lagoon and the sunset.
The second floor has a large Gulf-view family room area with a wet bar, table and chairs perfect for games or puzzles, and a sleeper sofa. There is a large king bedroom, a queen bedroom that opens to a Gulf-side porch, and a third bedroom with two queen beds.
The third floor crow's nest has panoramic views of the Gulf and Little Lagoon. A daybed and trundle are great for curling up to visit or read or for sleeping space for two people.
My Blue Heaven is located in West Beach just west of Lagoon Pass where the Gulf feeds Little Lagoon. This area is still close to town (3.0 miles west of Hwy 59) but far enough away to have uncrowded beaches and a neighborhood feeling. We share a pier and boat launch with our neighbors so you can bring a small boat or jet skis or fish and crab from our pier.

9/17/2001: USCIRF Urges Bush to Raise Religious Freedom with Indonesian Pres. Megawati Sukarnoputri |
Contact: The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has written to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice asking her to urge President Bush "to raise prominently religious freedom concerns" in his upcoming meeting with Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri. The text of the letter follows: September 13, 2001 Dear Dr. Rice: The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom urges President Bush to raise prominently religious freedom concerns in his upcoming meeting with Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri. In the past two years, severe violence among religious communities has become widespread in Indonesia. Of particular concern to the Commission is the violence between Muslims and Christians in the Moluccan Islands, where since January 1999 between 5,000 - 8,000 people from both communities have been killed and 500,000 displaced. While the causes behind the violence are multi-faceted, the fighting almost immediately took on a sectarian character and the ensuing violence has been based principally on religious affiliation. Houses of worship have been pointedly targeted and hundreds of mosques and churches have been destroyed. In addition, thousands of extremist Muslim fighters ("Laskar Jihad") from outside the Moluccas arrived on the Islands soon after the outbreak of the conflict and raised the fighting to more deadly levels. Since the slaughter began, the Indonesian government has made inadequate efforts to halt the conflict and, indeed, has not given it serious attention. When she was vice-president, Ms. Megawati was appointed by then-President Abdurrahman Wahid to lead reconciliation efforts between Christians and Muslims in the Moluccas, but her efforts proved ineffective and little government action was taken. Moreover, there are numerous reports that the Indonesian military and local police forces have not done enough to stop the fighting and that some elements of those institutions may even be responsible for prolonging or participating in it. There are other tragic conflicts in Indonesia that are of concern to the Commission, in many of which religion or tension between religious communities plays a significant role. In Aceh, local support for a referendum to determine the region's political status has been met with violence from government forces. Indonesian security forces are also clashing with a movement for greater autonomy in the Papua region. And in Sulawesi, Christians and Muslims are killing each other in gruesome tit-for-tat battles. The Indonesian government has made some effort to halt the worst violence and promote reconciliation. Such efforts have not been sufficient, however, and the killing has continued. Moreover, the role of individuals or groups from the Indonesian military in provoking, prolonging, or participating in the fighting has not been adequately addressed. In light of the continued religion-based fighting in the Moluccas and the spreading sectarian violence in other areas of the country, the Commission recommends that the President offer Indonesia funding for reconciliation programs and the training of Indonesian police and prosecutors in human rights, the rule of law, and criminal investigation, as detailed in chapter IV of the Commission's report of May 1, 2001, a copy of which is enclosed (see also www.uscirf.gov). The Commission further recommends that you urge President Megawati to make much greater efforts to stop religiously-based violence, including:
We take note of President Megawati's recent statements in which she acknowledges the human rights violations that have been perpetrated by the armed forces against citizens of Indonesia. The new president has also recognized the need for significant reform of the military. We hope that her visit to Washington provides an occasion for serious discussion of religious freedom and the urgent need to take steps to halt the sectarian violence in Indonesia. Respectfully, U.S. COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Hi All!
I work in a computer center and have both administrative and technical tasks that I need to accomplish. Today while playing with MS-Outlook I defined a couple of new fields for my tasks: project and context. I had been using the category as the type of activity (i.e. TODO, CALL, INVESTIGATE, etc).
It occurred to me that what type of activity it was is more or less irrelevant within the context of GDT. I was using the TODO category for things that required me to "produce" something (install new software, document a system's configuration, etc.) However, With a subject of "install new software" it seems obvious that this an activity that I need to produce something. With a subject like "Call Daniel about visit", it is obvious that I need to call him, etc. That really means that I can/should simply get rid of the of the type.
I had decided to include an extra context field as I wanted to have means of keeping track of the operational area to which the activity belonged. This was what I was using the category for. However, it dawned on me that there really was no reason for keeping track of the area. It really doesn't matter to me what the software I am installing is used for. What is important is keeping track of where I need to do any given task.
With thath in mind, I was thinking about the fact that I am reponsible for several large software components. Each has a GUI used to configure and administer the software. I have a lot of tasks related to each component, so I think it makes sense to create contexts for each of these components. Although am at my computer, just like I would be when sending email, investigating something on the web, I need to start and login to these software components to do specific work. I cannot do these tasks when I am simply "at the computer". Instead I need to be "in" these components.
Does this seem reasonable? Am I making sense?

The Rock Concert That Captured an Era
Featuring acts such as the Beach Boys, James Brown and the Rolling Stones, The T.A.M.I. Show defined popular music for a generation
- By Daniel Eagan
- Smithsonian.com, March 19, 2010, Subscribe
(Page 2 of 2)
Detroit soul was represented by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Marvin Gaye and the Supremes. The first two were touring together in a Motown Records revue; Robinson had been the first artist producer that Berry Gordy had signed to the label. Already a bona fide star, Gaye, a part-time session drummer as well as a singer and composer, would blossom into one of the great talents in soul music on the strength of songs like "What's Going On." The Supremes—Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard—were in the midst of a remarkable run of three number-one singles. On The T.A.M.I. Show, they performed two of the songs—"Where Did Our Love Go" and "Baby Love"—as well as two numbers from earlier in their career.
Among the rest of the acts Binder grabbed were British Invasion acts Gerry and the Pacemakers and Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Lesley Gore (who typified New York's Brill Building sound), and Chuck Berry who offered a reach back to the very beginnings of rock 'n' roll. The icing on the cake was James Brown and His Famous Flames, and the Rolling Stones, who were making their first American tour.
Two days of rehearsal gave Binder and his crew the opportunity to work out camera angles and editing patterns, but when it came to actual filming, Binder had to work "live." With only one machine recording video, Binder cut among his four cameras on the fly, with no possibility of retakes, and no outtakes, insert shots or other post-production tricks that directors rely on today. This seat-of-the-pants approach led to what Binder calls his favorite shot of his career: an extreme close-up of a vibrant, ecstatic Ross as she sings "Baby Love."
It also led to some frightening creative decisions, especially with James Brown. "In his case, I had never heard the songs or seen him perform them. And he refused to rehearse. So when he came out, we just had to wing it. I took a huge risk during one number when I kept the camera tight on James's face as he headed offstage. I told the cameraman, 'I don't care if we're shooting the edge of the stage, the lighting equipment, instrument cases, whatever—you cover the artist.' " We take Binder's approach for granted today, but at the time industry executives warned Sargent that the film—with its long takes, extended close-ups, and occasional glimpses of lighting stands and cameras—was unreleasable.
Of the 12 acts in The T.A.M.I. Show, five were soul or R&B artists. At a time of racial unrest, the filmmakers' choices took real courage, but Binder's eye for talent was prescient. About her records, Diana Ross wrote, "I didn't know who was buying the music. Even then, although unaware, we were already crossing color lines and breaking racial barriers." And as James Brown told reporter Steven Rosen, the film was "a masterpiece and the beginning of my career in one way." Already a legend in soul circles, Brown was having trouble breaking through to white audiences. "I'd been getting that kind of response for a long time, but white people didn't get a chance to see me because they didn't go to the venues I was playing at."
Sargent and Binder collaborated on the order of the acts, and were responsible for placing The Rolling Stones after Brown on the bill. (Binder recalls, "Brown just smiled and said, 'No one follows me.'"). Brown was a seasoned professional who simply modified his club show for a new audience. The Stones had yet to define themselves for American viewers –they didn't have a significant radio hit in the U.S. at the time—and were still working out their stage personalities. (They had debuted on "The Ed Sullivan Show" just a few days earlier.) One breathtaking shot from a vantage point behind the musicians captures the hysteria that greeted the group; another follows singer Mick Jagger on a runway out into the audience, later a staple of his act.
Following James Brown forced The Rolling Stones to ramp up their energy level. Guitarist Keith Richards half-jokingly called following Brown the worst decision of the group's career. Critic Stephen Davis wrote later that the group received support from Marvin Gaye. "Just go out there and do your thing," Gaye told them. They abandoned their announced set list to concentrate on songs like "It's All Over Now" that hadn't been released yet. It's a sizzling performance by a band that would endure for decades.
Teens embraced the film, perhaps because it showed their music without condescension. (It was an immediate hit, outgrossing teen-oriented competition like Beach Party.) Lesley Gore was 18 at the time, the Supremes and Mick Jagger 20, and Binder only 23.
After the stunning success of The T.A.M.I. Show, another production house, American International Pictures produced a sequel, The Big T.N.T. Show, without Binder's involvement. The original production, however, entered a legal limbo phase that took decades to resolve. Beach Boys manager Murry Wilson (father to the three Wilson brothers in the act) demanded that the footage of his band be removed after the initial theatrical run. When Dick Clark obtained television rights, he further edited the material. A condensed version was briefly available on home video, and bootleg versions showed up sporadically, but it wasn't until 2010 that the entire film became available on a legal DVD release. Today, there is still a palpable thrill to The T.A.M.I. Show, a sense that these now legendary musicians and filmmakers were discovering themselves.

The Beach Boys (and Brian Wilson in particular) have always cited the Four Freshmen as a primary influence. The harmonies are anything but dumbed down. To the contrary, they are complex and more jazz-oriented than any other pop music of the day. Obviously everyone is entitled to an opinion and to like or dislike what they choose, but you should also afford the same courtesy to others as well. The name calling is more a reflection of the writer than the music of the Beach Boys. You may want to do a bit of research on Mr. Wilson's life. Your insensitive remarks about his mental health don't paint a very flattering picture of you.

How can one dumb down AFTER 'Time After Time', 'Itsy Bitsy, Tiny Weenie, Yellow, Polka Dot Bikini', 'A Tisket, A Tasket', ' 3Little Fishies', 'Mairsy Doats', 'Turandot', or anything written by Wagner ?
Posted by Stuart Goldbarg on April 16,2010 | 04:49 PM
The Beach Boys own the show! No group has ever matched their harmonies and musical abilities...then...or now!

Wow, Mr. Metoikos sounds just like my dad did . . . in 1964. Listening to the Beatles my dad mocked the "she loves you yeah, yeah, yeah" lyric to no end. However, it wasn't just this song that makes Brian Wilson a genius, it is the body of work over his life that reveals a generation seeking something different. I look to Mr. Wilson, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry and John Lennon as the older brothers who broke out of the strait-jacket of the conformist 50s culture, tore apart conventional thinking or compromise, and gave us the counter-culture, a member of which I still remain. What astounds me is that after 60 years rock and roll is still as fresh and as counter culture as ever. I can't think of another genre of music that did not grow old and stale as its first generation of listeners aged. There is something going on with it other than it is an industry to make people money. It defines more than one generation. Rock and roll renews and renovates itself every year, and it is people like Mr. Wilson that helped create it the first time simply using a few guitars and a set of drums to do so.

What a great remembrance of a very different time. Growing up with this music and these concerts as the soundtrack for our formative years was brought back to my mind by this article. Thanks. Put a smile on your face and follow the links to the T.A.M.I. Show and watch some of the highlights. The dancers in the background are really entertaining!
Posted by Jim Silversonic on April 16,2010 | 12:49 PM
It's unfortunate that "Metoikos" has such a dim view of American popular music. The Beach Boys barbershop harmonies and falsetto vocals are classic in nature, and bring back many happy memories of listening to the A.M. radio, waiting for the next hit. Brian Wilson was a talented arranger, and a good listening of "Pet Sounds" might go a long way towards explaining why he is considered a genius. My suspicion is that "Metoikos" is a classical music snob that thinks that music needs to be boring and beatless to have any validity, that it needs to be harmonically dense and structured exactly like every other piece of classical music that bores the heck out of most people.
As for James Brown, you just can't beat his performance for sheer energy. While I'll admit that there's nothing complicated musically about his work, it can't be duplicated by the classically-trained, by the book music theorists who think that music is what's written on paper. The sheet music is just a starting point. THe performance is what truly matters.
Posted by Art Ghecko on April 16,2010 | 12:39 PM
Hey Metoikos: You are missing the point;at that time period, this was cutting edge and not any type of dumbing down.Trust me, you had to be there.You have it wrong.
Posted by Mr. Fratcal on April 16,2010 | 12:05 PM
Rock 'n Roll? Excuse me! The Beach Boys rock? Nah, beautiful pop! The Supremes, Smokey and Brown rock? NOT! Just wonderful Motown, R&B, Soul.
The only one that can be classified as rock in the whole collection which can be called rock is the Stones. Sheesh!
Posted by SCPete on April 16,2010 | 11:59 AM
Re: Metoikos' Beach Boys rant...
The genius of Brian Wilson is in his arrangements, lyrics and the ability to pinpoint the pulse of a nation of teens in the mid-60's. Brian himself did all of this, unlike the current pop-music-burnout machine of producers, focus groups, and carefully designed personas meant to hold-on to an existing fan-base... The BB's drew their own audience.
Also, 5 albums simultaneously on the charts in the same year? Who could do that now? Not to mention writing hit songs for Jan & Dean (announcing Chuck Berry on that clip). It's no wonder that he burned-out, with millions of dollars at stake on every word of his songs. The record companies expected hit records from him, unlike most of today's "personality" artists who are handed lyrics and pre-arranged music, then heavily promoted until they become profitable.
Posted by Rickshaw on April 16,2010 | 10:52 AM
Really Metoikos...you're going to ridicule THE BEACH BOYS for dumbing down music? Sure you're entitled to your opinion, but those who really know music are laughing at your comments. And as for "tin ears" I can thank (and you can blame) Mick Jagger himself for doing everything he could to promote The Beach Boys and "I Get Around" in England...home to the Beatles (who were also Beach Boys fans) and a place where Brian Wilson is still revered to this day.
Posted by Scott on April 16,2010 | 08:56 AM
The Beach Boys happened to produce the first concept album, a breakthrough in the culture and the music industry, inspiring, and followed later by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and dozens of other rock acts. Their layered harmonies have been copied by everyone from CSN to S&G, their use of synthesizers predated the Moody Blues and just about everyone else who made use of them in a later era.
Some of Brian Wilson's compositions are acknowledged to be among the best of the era, and stand among the most recorded songs ever.
If some people "can't figure it out", it appears that the problem lies with those people, not the originators of the music.
Posted by Rick Starr on April 16,2010 | 08:53 AM
To understand the beauty of music, we must recognize how it moves us. The Beach Boys moved a lot of people, and still do to this day. Music on the big screen and television are a HUGE part of many lives because of artists like them and visionary supporters who dared to present them to us.
Thanks for reminding me of the T. A. M. I. show and what a tremendous impact it had on my life.
Posted by Randy C. on April 15,2010 | 11:51 PM
I loved this music back in the day. Its boring now, and tedious. That they produced stuff that is today shunned for its simplicity, is absurd. The new bands are totally simplistic in lyrical content, and musical ability. But then I like some of today's music as well. The Exies come to mind, and Screaming Cheeta Wheelies. Porcupine tree...Nothing so complicated that it can't be duplicated by a local band on Friday night, which is what happened to THAT T.A.M.I. music back in the day....
Posted by Rex Stratton on April 15,2010 | 11:18 PM
I feel fortunate to have been young in the era that produced the greatest bands and best music ever. The Beach Boys were my favorite. Thank you for this story.

Come Party With Me: Celebration You - The Look & Home Spa Treatments
Love, love, love. February was all about love... but what if you're like me and single (without anyone to love)? Love yourself of course! This week I am planning a love themed party that is all about you celebrating your self love. Write yourself a lovely note, make yourself your favorite dishes and pair them with your favorite drinks.

This afternoon I will make sure that everything is clean and organized so when I get home from work tomorrow - with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in my hands - I can slip into something comfortable and relax. I'll light my favorite soothing scented candles and turn the heater up high so the house is cozy and warm. To really make myself feel glowing inside, and beautiful on the outside, I'll give myself a few at home spa treatments between dinner and dessert.

The Koo-di Pack-It Universal Sun & Sleep Shade is ideal for storing in the basket of your stroller or in your bag at all times to protect your little one from the sun, or just cover your stroller for a quiet nap.
I bought this sun shade for when by son fell asleep on holiday. The product did exactly what it said on the box. It sheltered my son from the sun when he was in his trolley and the dark shade made it easier for him to sleep.
This is a fantastic product and one that will rest my mind of the usual holiday worries in relation to sunburn and finding shade for your young one.
Hi I bought the sun and sleep shade for my daughter as we had borrowed one for our last holiday and it was brilliant.we used it during nap time in the day to keep her cool and the sun out. At night it kept her safe from bugs and kept her in darkness. The package arrived the following day and I loved how it fits into a really small bag that attaches to the pushchair. Really light weight and easily fits onto the buggy. Very happy.
Fantastic we use the sun shade even indoors for our little boy to nap in the buggy, we just hook it over the buggy handles and it makes a little canopy. He used to put a blanket over his face but now he just snuggles into it.
Really pleased with this product. With m y last 2 children I have used sun umbrellas to shade them from the sun but always found myself constantly having to reajust them as you move around! With this product problem solved! Blocks out all the sun and helps keep baby cool in this hot weather :)
