Eyeing the Icons
Michael Jackson and Coco Chanel tributes show what could have--or should have--been
Got It. We'll never know how the tour might have turned out, but Jackson was clearly far from the halfcrippled mess the media made him out to be. That adds a mournful undertone to This Is It because, even dialed back, he obviously had what it would have taken to pull off a killer live show. |
Comprised primarily of rehearsal footage filmed in the weeks before Michael Jackson's death, This Is It will, no doubt, be a coveted swan song for the iconic singer/songwriter's fans--or most of them, at least.
Your level of enjoyment obviously rests on how much you like Jackson and his music but, for some, may also depend on their ability to ignore what a blatant cash-in the film is. I'm cynical enough to where opportunism doesn't really bother me, and as a result I had a pleasant enough time getting a behind-the-scenes look at the Herculean efforts being undertaken to mount The King of Pop's first major comeback in more than a decade.
I've tangentially enjoyed MJ's music since the days of the Jackson Five and, like damn near everyone else on the planet in 1983, I had a copy of Thriller. The man wrote some great pop. I was always more of a metal-head and gore-hound, so even then my interest in Thriller had as much to do with Eddie Van Halen's involvement, and the legendary music video for the title song, as anything else. From his earlier Motown sounds to the post-disco era Jackson, I've always had to cherry pick the songs that really connected with me. I only mention this so you know where I'm coming from.
The film opens with brief interviews of the back-up dancers who were selected for the tour, all of whom were on the verge of tears at the prospect of working with their idol (while making me wonder if these scenes had been shot after his death). From there the film is made up mostly of the rehearsals.
Performance-wise, it's definitely a warts-and-all situation. While the band sounds great, it's clear Jackson himself was holding back (he says as much) in order to save his voice for what would surely have been a grueling set of 50 shows meant to take place in London's O2 Arena.
The resulting performance is littered with some false notes and several stops-and-starts as Jackson gives directions to tweak last minute elements in some of the songs, some of which have entirely new arrangements. He's paying fierce attention to every detail of the show. While that makes This Is It far less the polished concert experience so rarely seen in theaters, it is still a fascinating window into MJ's creative process. And that's not to say there aren't some really enjoyable moments, either. Even when he's holding back, Jackson's trademark vocal abilities are hardly muted. In fact, considering the miles of tabloid hullabaloo about the state of his health, it was rather gratifying to see the man had not yet lost either his pipes or his moves. It's pretty rare that anyone comes back after a decade and does his or her best work.
We'll never know how the tour might have turned out, but Jackson was clearly far from the half-crippled mess the media made him out to be. That adds a mournful undertone to This Is It because, even dialed back, he obviously had what it would have taken to pull off a killer live show.
That footage is intercut with behind-the-scenes glimpses at other nuts-and-bolts elements of the concerts that would never be. The stage production was meant to be a mind-bogglingly, pyrotechnic-laden extravaganza, choreographed with clockwork precision and timed to interspatial videos broadcast on a giant screen from behind the stage.
Some of these videos are actually used as straight footage in the film. One particularly cool segment inserts Jackson into an old Bogart movie, a la Forrest Gump. Yet another is a 3-D update to the Thriller video, loaded with rotted zombies and CG-bats and spiders. While there are some making of elements cut into the videos, they really just seemed to underline director Kenny Ortega's (High School Musical) need to have something to cut to that wasn't the Spartan camera set up used to capture most of the live performances.
Still, it was interesting to see the mechanics of the massive production in progress, while Jackson confabulates with director Ortega to fine tune the choreography (he's also the dance coordinator) or works with his musicians to perfect every nuance of the set list.
If anything, I would like to have seen more of that. But This Is It was never meant to be a theatrical release (more on that later) and as a result it looks like the cinematic equivalent of DVD extras. Shooting on a few handheld cameras would have been fine, and Ortega melds the disparate footage ably, but the film rarely captures the sense of how big the show would really be; even resorting to a brief animatic to illustrate how a particular stunt involving a bulldozer would work. The overall visual presentation bore the marks of a hasty assembly.
But most of you will just be going to hear the music, I bet. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Smooth Criminal and a lovely version of Human Nature are just a few of the songs performed during the films 112-minute run-time; and the band sounds top-notch. Stand-outs include back-up singer Judith Hill in a beautiful duet with Jackson on I Just Can't Stop Loving You. Her silky smooth tones were supported by such emotion that Jackson seemed taken aback.
Lead guitarist Orianthi Panagaris' smoking hot looks also extend to her fretwork, most notably on the solo in Beat It where, had my eyes been closed, I would have sworn it was Eddie Van Halen shredding away. Turns out she was playing alongside Steve Vai at age 16. It's easy to hear why.
Suffice to say the music of This Is It does not disappoint, though having an enthusiastic audience for the band to feed off of no doubt would have added to the excitement. That fact, oddly, seems to complement the theatrical setting. After all, you're not in a packed house of crazed fans, either. Here, on that technical level, the film rises to the occasion. It sounds great. I'm willing to bet most of you don't have 10,000-watt sound systems in your homes (and props if you do), so your best bet to hear this the way it was intended is to head to the theater. The thunderous aural assault, cranked up to 11, goes a long way to making it sound like you are right there in the arena.
This Is It is a conundrum. In the realm of great concert films it isn't. It's not imbued with the film craft of something like the Talking Heads masterpiece Stop Making Sense, nor is it really aiming for that. As a documentary it offers only a surface-level glimpse of its fallen star, perhaps leaving less flattering footage on the hard drive. But it's not trying to be that, either.
As document of his last moments on stage, for those who loved him and his music, it might seem like a bittersweet gift. Despite the opening text crawl describing it as such, Jackson's well-known perfectionism surely means this film wouldn't exist had he lived. This Is It is his unintended epitaph.
Coco Before Chanel
It hasn't been a good couple of weeks for filmed adaptations of the lives of iconic women in history. Last week Amelia monotonously underwhelmed with its paint by numbers construction and this week brings the staid, nearly lifeless Coco before Chanel.
Based on a novel by Edmonde Charles-Roux (adapted by writer/director Anne Fontaine) Coco before Chanel goes the opposite route of Amelia, examining Chanel's life before she became an internationally renowned fashion guru. Taught by nuns to sew in an orphanage in the late 19th Century, Coco Chanel (Audrey Tautou) lives a life of poverty and bas couture until she becomes old enough to join the cabaret. There she meets the wealthy yet unattractive horse breeder, Etienne Balsan (Benoît Poelvoorde), who invites her over for the weekend only to find that she won't leave. From there, Chanel begins a life-long climb up the ladder of privilege and respectability.
I would say more, but there is so little going on in Coco before Chanel that I could literally reveal the whole film with two more sentences.
Chanel became famous (and infamous) for what she did after the events depicted in this film, so what we have here are 105-minutes of impressionistically photographed tedium. Coco before Chanel makes Amelia feel like Die Hard. Had the film focused more on her life during the first 40 years of the 20th Century it would have made for a much more compelling story, though it would have likely made her even less likeable.
Flatly portrayed by Tautou, Chanel comes off as little more than a moody, passive aggressive gold digger who seems fine with having everything handed to her until she decides to take control of her own destiny.
Don't get me wrong, there are some flashes of brightness and warmth from Tautou, but it's like seeing brief glimpses of sun through furrowed clouds. Amélie this isn't. And while Tautou is beautiful, she is clearly not right to play Chanel in her 20's (yet another reason this film would have benefitted from setting it later in her life).
We never see the duality in Chanel that the film visually hints at. We never really come to learn what made Chanel so influential or understand what doors she opened for other women. We just see her lounging in bed, riding horses, going to parties and bitching about the hand she's been dealt. It's like making a movie about Jesus and only including the part where he gets nailed to a cross and dies--but in reverse.
If you walk in knowing nothing about Coco Chanel, what you see here won't compel you to learn more. You can make a movie about an unlikeable person (or a person you just don't like) that works, but Coco before Chanel's sluggish pace depicting mostly uneventful events does the audience no favors.
There are one or two bright spots, though. Playing Balsan, Benoît Poelvoorde gives the film a B-12 shot with his nuanced and lively performance. Balsan isn't that much more likeable than Chanel is, but Poelvoorde gives him layers and depth that Tautou was trying for but unable to deliver.
The film is also quite pretty, though pointing a camera at most parts of France does that. But the art direction and idyllic settings of pastoral 19th Century France glow with Renoir-like shot compositions that do pull you into rural mansion life. It feels tangible. Supporting players Marie Gillain and Alessandro Nivola (as Chanel's true love, Arthur Capel) are fine, if underwritten, though everyone seems to pop out like a primary color next to Tautou's dour Chanel.
Flawed in inception, Coco before Chanel is another missed opportunity to create an enlightening, entertaining and emotionally engaging portrait of a groundbreaking woman's influence on the course of history. If only they had focused on the second half of her life. The lovers; riches; intrigue. WWII and the Nazi occupation. Sleeping with a German spy. She almost went on trial for war crimes! All while irrevocably sculpting the world of fashion to her image. Sounds like an interesting movie doesn't it?

Astor Theatre
12 S. Clark Street,
2 people favorited this theater
This small Loop movie house was located on Clark Street, near Madison Street, not far from today's First National Plaza (the site of the the Hotel Morrison, razed in 1965). It sat around 300 and opened in 1922. The Astor remained in operation into the 50s before closing and has long ago been demolished.

A case of taking censoring films into their own hands…from the Chicago Tribune Sept. 7, 1949 (in part):
Ruse Lures Operator Away From Booth
Three vandals gained entrace by a ruse last night to the movie projection booth of the Astor theater, 12 S. Clark st., and used an ax to destroy four reels of film which one of them said were "not the right sort of pictures to be shown."
Roland Reisch, manager of the theater, said his movie operator, Herbert Personne, 62, of 8446 Drexel av., had been lured from his booth by a telephone caller who demanded to speak with him. When Personne hung up on the caller and returned to his machine, he found the ruined film on the floor.
The films destroyed were being shown on the current program. They were "Hitler's Love Life", "How to Undress Before Your Husband" and "Passion's Payment", pictures of the Nuremberg trial. Duplicate reels were supplied to the theater by Dwane Esper, a Hollywood representative, after a call by Reisch.
I first noticed the ASTOR Theater in the 1950s. I lived just outside the Loop and spent a great many Summer days wandering around downtown. The thing that called it to my attention were posters advertising the current feature HATCHET MAN starring Edward G. Robinson as a Chinese person. I discovered that the movie was made in the 1930s before I was born and was being rerun at the cheapest rerun house in the Loop. But since I had no money I couldn't go in to see it. I finally got to see the movie on television on Turner Classic Movies. It wasn't bad. A few years later I saw a few movies at the Astor. I saw movies at all the Loop theaters, The LaSalle, The Clark, The McVickers, The Monroe, The Chicago, The State-Lake, The Oriental, The United Artists, The Woods, The Garrick, The Apollo, The Michael Todd, The Roosevelt, The Rialto, The Follies, The RKO Palace and the RKO Grand and that little newsreel theater next to the Chicago Theater that I can't remember the name of.

When you are finished working out or exerting physical activity, your quest to achieving your goal is just as important after your workout as it is during your workout!
Your body needs protein to help repair and rebuild muscle that has been broken down during your workout. The protein in this formula is Calcium Caseinate, a slow digesting protein that has the tendency to release proteins and amino acids at a slow, steady rate into your system. Protein also helps optimize carbohydrate storage into glycogen, a form of energy for your body. After physical activity, your stored levels of glycogen get depleted and need to be replenished. Individuals consuming lower carbohydrate diets, have glycogen storage that can reach very low levels even before training begins. Consuming a carbohydrate solution prior (PRE), during (IN), and after (POST) exercise can help with improved glycogen storage, energy and performance. A blend of Glutamine, Branched Chained Amino Acids, Rhodiola, Cordyceps, and muscle supporting ingredients can help support recovery for your next workout. The GlycoNitricTM Sports Series properly prepares you at the beginning (PRE), supports you during (IN), and refuels you after (Post) each workout or physical activity. It's as easy as 1-2-3 or Pre-In-Post!

i'm still prefer hard copies.heck,i'm still having those vinyl from ancient 80's and IBM Ultrium tape for server backup call me idiot as my nick,but hard media never let me down.they stand any deletion,virus attack,denial of service,electric surge.always stay intact except your homeroom mate steal it from you...
I hear a lot of people complaining about music CD's but yet everyone is using MP3 players. No one caries a CD player around because there too bulky. How many out of those same people still use the CD player in their car. The technology has been obsolete for some time now. Everything is moving to solid state media and the only thing that is causing the masses to hold on to these old technologies is namely blue ray. I have bought a blue ray player for my old build a few years ago. And still never use it. Yes I have a blue ray player for TV but thats the only place I actually use it. People are tired of these big and bulky laptops. Desk tops are getting smaller, the only ones actually holding on to these old techs and large desk tops are us builders and enthusiasts. All my games I down load and move to a SD Card for back up. I don't have to worry about media getting scratched, No bulky CD cases. Even my laptop I removed the Optical drive and installed another HDD for storage of entertainment media With a 512gb SSD as my primary drive. If I really need a optical drive for any reason I have a small external one collecting dust. I would much rather have room for newer tech and more tech than have an optical drive. It is time the optical drive went away. It is no longer needed and we all know it to be true.
i just wish we would get to the point where we buy our programs on flash drives or SDCards instead of discs....... as soon as this happens i will no longer use my blu-ray drive... i do however think that it could free up some much needed room in laptops though when we finally go that route
I think the issue is that disks are extremely cheap to manufacture. A 32GB solid state medium is still quite expensive to sell, your movies/games would be much more expensive. This could work quite well for albums.
CDs and Blu Ray are still relevant, at least until digital copies achieve the same quality. There's no point in having a factory Blu Ray drive in a Mac, as it doesn't support BD playback anyway. Have to buy a 3rd party app. That said, I see no issue in going external for as often as these drives are typically used.
but if they become the standard for selling physical media prices would free fall and I think the biggest one would be OS's .... imagin buying win9 on a flash drive... i know you can set them up that way but that requires a currently running PC... being able to purchase win9 on solid state would be amazing
Cloud space is not infinite, it's actually very limited and highly priced. Solid state storage is also pricey, even more than blu-ray. Apple is being stupid, again. What about Apple Maps? Not to mention the privacy policy of iTunes. Collect data from 13 year olds and up, location data included. And readily available for governments and third parties.
I'd like to talk to apple face to face and say..."Oh really? Then why is it when you look up external optical drives on Amazon, Newegg, etc...you find most of the reviews by Apple owners?"
Or in other word Apple had the shortest lifespan of optical drives,so they decided to get rid of it My ol' Unibody already had third replacement in 2 years :shadedshu
Blu-Ray has already been developed, why not spend some money on miniaturisation for a product similar to micro-CDs? Hard to kick the market around though, it's pretty much up to the porn industry to decide.
Sure going to make it difficult to add that Blue-Ray your mother bought you for Christmas to your digital library without an optical drive...... Same for those CD's you legitimately purchased and haven't yet added them to your iTunes library.... Apple's products are like a car that drives for you.... Except it will only drive you to the Apple store.... when you pay it to take you there..... and costs 30% more than the other self-driving cars....
Not to mention bandwidth. A lot of the USA is still way behind the curve on available bandwidth as well as people on the go. Those people are still going to opt for DVDs and Blu-Rays over streaming content. Apple basically just lost all those potential customers. Bad for them, good for everyone else.
How's that? When you buy a game on Steam it downloads and installs it. But Steam is installed in the operating system. Which program would download and install the Windows?
upgrade installs that make bootable media. nothing stops you downloading windows 7 on a secondary/friends PC
That's pretty much the point. That and already having a CD/DVD/BD collection. Of course, that doesn't mean everyone should have to use optical drives. In this day and age, purchasing or renting digital should be an option. I can only imagine the people who've got a Blu-ray reader in their living room not wanting to watch movies on their computer.
my house is one of those houses. the BD's are slower and clunkier, whereas we can stream our massive collection of HD video files to any HDTV in the house (of which there are 3).
No, they didn't. Apple just made the companies that sell external ODDs more money. For as often as the typical consumer uses their optical drive, they won't care that it's not built in. They'll just use an external when they need it, then shove it in a drawer or bag pocket when they're done. I actually DO use my optical on occasion, and I still wouldn't have a problem with that.
Well it also doesn't help that the industry is still gung ho on DRM for videos. They've practically given up on music finally but movies...gah. I don't want to steal it, I want to buy it and then encode it for use on another device! What the heck is wrong with that? I'm still buying it! MP3s are ok but MP4s aren't? Sure wish Japan would wake up and stop letting the Sony and their other home grown companies bully them with DRM. If it broke there then it would easily start breaking elsewhere.
profit margins for apple, stock price jump expected "We try to find better solutions - our customers have given us a lot of trust." I read that as "We aren't bothered to find better solutions - our customers have given us a lot of money" I'm sorry but your that argument is void. I like holding my copy of battlefield 3 in my hand and say. I bought this, i own this. Eventually we as customers/consumers are going to lose our right to say we "own" our digital copy. Thus eventually everything you have on your HDD won't actually be yours. you'll just be paying rent and be able to use it within your right to use it but you don't own it. Apple will probably do that and is pushing hard toward it. Apple users therefore lack the freedom to choose what they want and only take what is being offered to them. Also this will be a financially clever move from Apple to do this because they'll charge you the price of a kidney for your external devices. Their excuse will be because it uses thunderbolt, its faster. Similar to the iPhone thunderbolt connector (which is most cases is Thunderbolt-to-USB 2.0) basically nullifies its performance claims. Thus it can be argued that its false advertising and misleading to the consumers/customers. But they making money and they have the lawyers to back it up. And will probably just change the packaging details of your to include (thunder bolt speeds will require thunderbolt-to-thunderbolt connector). All in All Apple is taking a leaflet from Nintendo and try to minimize manufacturing costs to include more accessibility into an all in one solution. Instead everything new thing for their product you'll have to buy seperately. Thus maximizing the profit margin on each possible device that you'll use on that product. Another thing I'd like to point out is that Apple will most probably use this to create ultra thin products to counter microsoft's Surface product because it has no optical drive. But i Like nintendo and they quite fun (well they use to be cheaper but the Wii-U will be quite expensive mostly due to the tablet like controller, which can be bought separately surprise surprise, if you bought a wii-U bundle that excluded the controller). Its all about profit margin's and beating the same quarter of the previous year. Nowhere is it customer centric. But that is how business works, it won't make sense to run a business if you not making money. If Apple continues to pursue this Their stock price will jump because investors will see it as another innovating way to double profits, due to customers not realising that there are better options other than a half eaten apple.
Not in my book. Current HDDs are as quick as Blu-Ray. 16x Blu-Ray = 72MB/s. No fragmentation for the main video file which is a big sequential chunk of 30 GB. And if you compare it to Internet speeds, you should have an Internet of 800 Mbps to match a Blu-Ray, only one disc.
umm. i never said the read speed of the disk was the problem. i meant usage. it can often take several minutes to get a BD movie out of the shelf, out of the case, into the BR player, wait for all the anti piracy ads, start the movie, wait for more ads, then get going. or, just play it from a digital media server we have more or less instantly, on any smart device in the house.
Oh well, I see. But to get those movies there you need a blu-ray reader and having backups in blu-ray for static content like movies or games is a better option. Games on the other side are better played from your hard disk, but having them in a disk is an advantage, and services like Steam let you backup your games in disks, as oposed to Apple's AppStore. Also, if the AppStore or iTunes stop selling an app or song, it disappears from your list of content. Steam doesn't do that.
Apart from the above arguments supporting optical media usage, we have not mentioned the main problem yet unsolved by most any other format, with the exception of Optical Disks... namely: How to do effective long term retrieval of our personal self-generated data. For almost a century, we have kept photo albums lying somewhere. Just a few people manage to have and keep film and video on varying formats, but at present, most of us are producing and storing hundreds of photos, videos, texts and other PERSONAL data, that many would want to keep for decades and some of that even to pass to future generations... So far the "lying somewhere photo albums" filled the bill, but as we now behave, the sheer amount of data, and more importantly the retrieval system where we do it, is far from long term sustainable in safe terms in its actual form. This has been debated extensively in academic and other relevant circles, and even The Library of Congress has recently renewed the way it stores data. As I see it, people has not yet decided on a definitive storage format (or have not realized the need of it) and so we are ever migrating the data (mostly digital) from a holder (Flash, HDD) to another (a new HDD), which sometimes gets lost or has already started to get rotten in the vaults (film, tape video). In practical terms we keep on switching or losing until we realize -and the suppliers respond- that there is a good, solid solution available and ease to use. So far, well stored Optical media (DVD, BluRay or newer) is the only solution with good enough parameters to ensure decades of data survival. Many 80s and 90s well kept CDs and DVDs remain at very good shape (despite claims that they would rotten within a few years of use) when stored at dry, low lighted environments. And -if anything- this is an area where manufacturers could easily release longer life competing products. It is a miracle that in these times of fear-sales everywhere, this market has been forgotten at large. And then, why not buy an external Optic Player recorder, we will usually use once a semester or a year? The answer lies close to why we center the functions we seldom and often use, residing on a desktop home or office system, working together with mobile platforms, and all integrated... We don't want boxes of different gear disperse around the house. At much, we need functional, stylish libraries where to place the data along the books or other seldom visited info we want to have close and ordered. Apple and actually ALL related manufacturers and sellers seem to have missed these ideas altogether. Short sight -again- I guess...

Many thanks to Penny Warner, a speaker at San Francisco Writers Conference and the author of How to Party with a Killer Vampire, for allowing me to share her helpful, enjoyable post:
Cooped up in our RV last weekend, isolated in a giant redwood forest without Internet access, and unable to set foot outside for fear I might freeze to death, I was forced to watch some football games. Four of them. Practically in a row. Talk about a weekend in hell.
I actually felt sorry for my husband, who only had me to talk to about the games. I tried to look interested, even asked questions like "Why's that guy crying?" and "Who would name their kid "He Hate Me" or "Ochocinco." But I'm not very good at faking it. At least, not when it comes to sports.
During the games I entertained myself by focusing on the important details, like "Who picked the colors Red and Gold?" and "John Harbaugh? I thought it was Jim Harbaugh." That's the only thing that kept me from going crazy with boredom. Truthfully, I'd rather watch "Ice-Road-Trucking New Jersey Housewife Hoarders" than football.
My husband, on the other hand, seems to experience a wide range of emotions while watching the games. For example, that game the other day between those Red and Gold guys versus those Black and Gold guys? I was afraid I was going to have to sedate him but I couldn't get him out of his "lucky chair." First he was shouting. Then he was crying. Then he was biting his nails. Then he was screaming. Then he was outside jumping up and down with some RV neighbors he didn't even know.
I felt so sorry for him that I offered to host an upcoming Super Bowl Party. I told him I'd make some cute little invitations written on mini footballs and stuff them into large puffy envelopes filled with crushed peanut shells. I would ask our guests to come dressed as cheerleaders, referees, or food vendors.
To create the right atmosphere, I'd set out sports equipment, like hockey masks, baseball mitts, and tennis racquets. Then I'd mark the party room floor with field yard lines using tape. As for a centerpiece, I'd set out Ace bandages, Ben-Gay, and crushed beer cans. And each guest would get one of those big foam "We're Number One" fingers so they could have pretend swordfights during commercials.
When the game inevitably becomes slow and boring, I'd keep the party alive by having the guests place bets on everything from "Who will win the coin toss?" to "Which player will spit next?" Then we'd play a sports trivia game, with questions like "What's the name of the team we're rooting for?" and "Who's the cutest guy in tight pants?" At halftime, we could go outside for a brisk game of balloon badminton or planking.
Finally, I'd serve typical ballpark food, such as Pigs in a Blanket, mini-quiches, Jell-O shots, and Vodka lattes. Then, depending on whether his team wins or loses, I'd send the guests home with either a Team Logo celebration banner or an embroidered crying towel.
"I think I'll just get some beer, make some chili, and call a few friends," he said when I finished telling him my party plans.
That's fine. If he needs me, he knows where to find me. At the mall.
The Perfect Place to Write Your Book
I began my writing career typing on a Commodore 64 in a corner of my bedroom. After my son left for college, I moved into his room (boy was he surprised when he came back for winter break…), and enjoyed the quiet and seclusion there.
But a few years ago when I was under deadline—and had already planned a trip to Disneyland with the family—I found myself writing at a café table on Main Street. While my kids headed for their favorite rides, I ignored the crowds, the noise, and the commotion, and amazingly, was able to focus on my story.
From that I learned this: I can write anywhere. I don't need a garret or a coffee shop, a quiet bedroom or a table at Disneyland, to write. In fact, no matter where I go, each location offers something no doubt finds its way into my book. Except Hawaii. By the time I've had my third pina colada, I can't even remember the alphabet.
Here are some suggestions for places to write that you may not have thought of:
1. Hospital cafeteria. Think about all the drama that's going on at a hospital and you're right in the middle of it! And if you need medical advice, just grab a nearby nurse or doctor on lunch break and grill them!
2. Airport waiting room. Absorb some of that glamorous jet-setting crowd and write your book as you watch passengers come and go. You may even spot a movie star you can weave into your plot.
3. Hotel lobby. Find a comfy chair at a hotel like the Claremont or Mark Hopkins, pull out your laptop, and write your book in the lush surroundings of upscale accommodations. Need a latte while you work? Drop by the hotel coffee shop and pick up a pick-me-up to keep you going.
4. University library. I used to hang out at my university library to meet smart guys, but now it's the perfect place to pen your novel—and have access to all those resources you might need along the way. Plus, you're in good company, with the works of your favorite authors.
5. Secret Passageway. Find an old mansion, do a little wall-tapping, and find yourself a secret passageway. Then hide yourself away and don't come out until that book is done (or the residents come home.) Talk about atmosphere!
6. DMV or Post office lines. Instead of wasting your time waiting for the next available clerk, write your next chapter on your portable, lightweight iPad. Tap into that seething emotion from other line-waiters and your story will be filled with passion.
7. Jail. If you can't get yourself arrested, you can at least find a spot in the waiting room to write that dramatic action scene. Plus, you'll find lots of character archetypes and may even overhear some good plot twists.
The eighth perfect place to write is wherever you can produce your best work.
So what's your favorite place to write?
The goal of the blog is to help you and me understand writing and publishing. Rants, comments, questions, and answers most appreciated.

Billy Casper: The Big Three and Me (Hardcover)

List Price

Product Description
Billy Casper had a higher winning percentage than Arnold Palmer, he won twice as many times on the PGA Tour as Gary Player, and during his career he finished in the top twenty-five more consistently than Jack Nicklaus. And yet, when golf historians write about the legends of the game, with special attention paid to the above-listed "Big Three," his name is often left out of the discussion, or is at best an afterthought.
In this fascinating autobiography, Casper tells his life story, shining candid insight into the man who quietly collected fifty-one PGA Tour victories, the seventh highest total in history.
It is a true rags-to-riches tale that began at age four on a homemade golf hole in a New Mexico pasture during the Great Depression and culminated with extraordinary success in what many consider golf's most glorious era.
With a wife and infant daughter and towing a house trailer, Billy Casper joined the pro golf tour in 1955 on borrowed money. Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Tommy Bolt were playing when he started; Tom Watson, Johnny Miller and Lee Trevino were on the stage when his twenty-five year career on the regular Tour ended. In his prime he went head-to-head with Palmer, Player and Nicklaus, winning more tournaments from 1964-1970 than any man in golf, including victories at the 1966 U.S. Open and 1970 Masters.
With the unassuming candor that characterized his career, Casper gives a blow-by-blow account of his legendary triumph at the 1966 U.S. Open, where he made up seven shots on Arnold Palmer on the back nine on Sunday and captured the trophy in the next day's eighteen-hole playoff.
He tells of purposely patterning his game after the methodical and stoical Ben Hogan, about placing no more emphasis on majors than any other event on Tour, and about playing in lock-step with Palmer, the most popular golfer of all time.
Between every line is Shirley, his companion more than sixty years and the person he credits with keeping him grounded and focused — and providing him with the faith and family stability that is the center of his life.
The Big Three and Me is the story of a golfer, and of golf, at their finest, and one that's long overdue to be heard.

Cultivating vital communities, vital conversations, and the public good.
Conversations matter. The sharing of stories can be powerful in unexpected ways. Kelli Driscoll, pastor of Bethany Christian Church and friend of PTS, writes about the unexpected impact of one person's story at our Life on the Streets and Borders event on 4/17. We are incredibly grateful to all the speakers who shared their stories, including Lorenza Andrade Smith. And we have received permission to share from the young woman referenced in Kelli's reflections.

Volunteering and Getting Involved with NEMBA is easy!
NEMBA isn't some huge multinational consortium with palatial offices, and a swat team of crisis management experts, complete with trail-tool equipted Hummers. We're a group of riders just like you who care about the trails and have a passion for mountain bikes. Luckily, there are enough of us to form a regional organization that has a been highly successful. All this is because of riders like you. We have lots of events to choose from!
We need your help to make things happen.
Philisophical question: if a lone mountain biker does something good for a trail, does it make a difference? Ahh, trick question! Yes, it does make a difference, but since no one knows it was a mountain biker who did the good deed, it won't have as much positive impact than if it were done by an organized group like NEMBA.
"How do I get involved? ", you ask. Easy! Simply contact the chapter president in your area, come to one of our events, or give us a call at 800-57-NEMBA. We're not a cliquey group and we always like seeing new faces!
NEMBA is many things to many people, all linked by a commitment to making our sport and the trails better. The most basic way to help out is to come to our events. Our Kona Bicycles-Fox Shox MTB Adventure Series offers a great way to ride new trails and meet other riders and people involved in your chapter. If you're looking for an easy way to help out, simply come to one of our scores of Trail Care Days. You don't need any experience since our crew leaders will guide you and teach you in the process, and most trail care events are followed by lunch and a nice ride. Coming to a Trail Care Day is a great way to test the volunteer waters and meet people.
Most NEMBA Chapters have monthly meetings as well. These usually combine business with pleasure. It's at these meetings that most NEMBA activities are created, managed and executed. It's also where the key access and advocacy issues in your area are hashed out. Chapters welcome their members to come by and hear what's going on. If you've never been you a local NEMBA chapter meeting, you should check it out.
NEMBA is always looking for innovative people with unique skills. If you think that you have something to offer, let your chapter president know!
For example, do you.
We try to keep you up to date, but sometimes we are so busy doing stuff that we forget! (Or was it the Neuralyzer?) Please forgive us and let us know how you can help.

High blood pressure dangers: Hypertension's effects on your body
High blood pressure is a risk factor for more than heart disease. Discover what complications high blood pressure can cause.
By Mayo Clinic staffHigh blood pressure (hypertension) can quietly damage your body for years before symptoms develop. Left uncontrolled, you may wind up with a disability, a poor quality of life or even a fatal heart attack. Fortunately, with treatment and lifestyle changes, you can control your high blood pressure to reduce your risk of life-threatening complications.
Here's a look at the complications high blood pressure (hypertension) can cause when it's not effectively controlled.
Damage to your arteries
Healthy arteries are flexible, strong and elastic. Their inner lining is smooth so that blood flows freely, supplying vital organs and tissues with adequate nutrients and oxygen. If you have high blood pressure, the increased pressure of blood flowing through your arteries gradually can cause a variety of problems, including:
- Artery damage and narrowing. High blood pressure can damage the cells of your arteries' inner lining. That launches a cascade of events that make artery walls thick and stiff, a disease called arteriosclerosis (ahr-teer-e-o-skluh-RO-sis), or hardening of the arteries. Fats from your diet enter your bloodstream, pass through the damaged cells and collect to start atherosclerosis (ath-ur-o-skluh-RO-sis). These changes can affect arteries throughout your body, blocking blood flow to your heart, kidneys, brain, arms and legs. The damage can cause many problems, including chest pain (angina), heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, stroke, blocked arteries in your legs or arms (peripheral arterial disease), eye damage, and aneurysms.
- Aneurysm. Over time, the constant pressure of blood moving through a weakened artery can cause a section of its wall to enlarge and form a bulge (aneurysm). An aneurysm (AN-u-rizm) can potentially rupture and cause life-threatening internal bleeding. Aneurysms can form in any artery throughout your body, but they're most common in the aorta, your body's largest artery.
Damage to your heart
Your heart pumps blood to your entire body. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can damage your heart in a number of ways, such as:
- Coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease affects the arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle. Arteries narrowed by coronary artery disease don't allow blood to flow freely through your arteries. When blood can't flow freely to your heart, you can experience chest pain, a heart attack or irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
- Enlarged left heart. High blood pressure forces your heart to work harder than necessary in order to pump blood to the rest of your body. This causes the left ventricle to thicken or stiffen (left ventricular hypertrophy). These changes limit the ventricle's ability to pump blood to your body. This condition increases your risk of heart attack, heart failure and sudden cardiac death.
- Heart failure. Over time, the strain on your heart caused by high blood pressure can cause your heart muscle to weaken and work less efficiently. Eventually, your overwhelmed heart simply begins to wear out and fail. Damage from heart attacks adds to this problem.
Damage to your brain
Just like your heart, your brain depends on a nourishing blood supply to work properly and survive. But high blood pressure can cause several problems, including:
- Transient ischemic attack (TIA). Sometimes called a ministroke, a transient ischemic (is-KEM-ik) attack is a brief, temporary disruption of blood supply to your brain. It's often caused by atherosclerosis or a blood clot — both of which can arise from high blood pressure. A transient ischemic attack is often a warning that you're at risk of a full-blown stroke.
- Stroke. A stroke occurs when part of your brain is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, causing brain cells to die. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke by damaging and weakening your brain's blood vessels, causing them to narrow, rupture or leak. High blood pressure can also cause blood clots to form in the arteries leading to your brain, blocking blood flow and potentially causing a stroke.
- Dementia. Dementia is a brain disease resulting in problems with thinking, speaking, reasoning, memory, vision and movement. There are a number of causes of dementia. One cause, vascular dementia, can result from narrowing and blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the brain. It can also result from strokes caused by an interruption of blood flow to the brain. In either case, high blood pressure may be the culprit. High blood pressure that occurs even as early as middle age can increase the risk of dementia in later years.
- Mild cognitive impairment. Mild cognitive impairment is a transition stage between the changes in understanding and memory that come with aging and the more serious problems caused by Alzheimer's disease. Like dementia, it can result from blocked blood flow to the brain when high blood pressure damages arteries.
Damage to your kidneys
Your kidneys filter excess fluid and waste from your blood — a process that depends on healthy blood vessels. High blood pressure can injure both the blood vessels in and leading to your kidneys, causing several types of kidney disease (nephropathy). Having diabetes in addition to high blood pressure can worsen the damage.
- Kidney failure. High blood pressure is one of the most common causes of kidney failure. That's because it can damage both the large arteries leading to your kidneys and the tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) within the kidneys. Damage to either makes it so your kidneys can't effectively filter waste from your blood. As a result, dangerous levels of fluid and waste can accumulate. You might ultimately require dialysis or kidney transplantation.
- Kidney scarring (glomerulosclerosis). Glomerulosclerosis (glo-mer-u-lo-skluh-RO-sis) is a type of kidney damage caused by scarring of the glomeruli (glo-MER-u-li). The glomeruli are tiny clusters of blood vessels within your kidneys that filter fluid and waste from your blood. Glomerulosclerosis can leave your kidneys unable to filter waste effectively, leading to kidney failure.
- Kidney artery aneurysm. An aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of a blood vessel. When it occurs in an artery leading to the kidney, it's known as a kidney (renal) artery aneurysm. One potential cause is atherosclerosis, which weakens and damages the artery wall. Over time, high blood pressure in a weakened artery can cause a section to enlarge and form a bulge — the aneurysm. Aneurysms can rupture and cause life-threatening internal bleeding.

Chop & Scoop Red (322-7427) |
$8.96 |
Add to Basket
We find the Chop & Scoop to be extremely useful. It's large enough (9" x 13") to do a fair amount of chopping on, and with the convenient handle and the scoop shape, also handy for transporting chopped food to the pan or bowl and dumping it in. It's made of poly, so it's easy on your knives and goes right into the dishwasher for clean up. Pretty nifty.

So this is it, just pile in as they say!
This is an idea I had a while ago but as with most things it's taken some time to become real. I just love the idea of medievel knights jousting on space hoppers (I like space hoppers generally really!) I think it would be good to do a good v evil version (black knight v white knight), maybe even animate it at some point.

Six of us get together for dinner on a regular basis. This past weekend we chose to meet at Palm City Grill in Port St Lucie. We have eaten here in the past and been happy with our meals but were quite disappointed this time. The server paid no attention to our table. We sat with empty drink glasses several... More
As a party of four we all ordered something different. Three people in our party had fish and I had the chicken. The meals were good but not great. We visited on a Sunday night and the restaurant crowd was very light. All the better for us as we were seated immediately. Our server was very knowledgeable and provided excellent... More
Have never been disappointed with a meal here, no matter what. Often try the daily specials. Nice atmosphere (small)
i use to eat there every Sunday.. the last couple of times the quality of food has gone down hill. the soups and breads are wonderful. I had a chicken dish the other night that was not very good.
we have been eating here for 6 years & love it!! they also do great take out! they honor any special request without a problem!! worth trying!!
went on a friday nite, got there at 5:30 pm, tried to seat us at 7pm. We had requested a table, not a booth - and tried to seat us in a booth. Left the restaurant and went elsewhere. While waiting for a table, we watched several "regulars", get seated right away. Don't go unless they already know you.
Took our friend's parents there for dinner & it was very good & we had a great waitress. Others had the halibut which looked great; my filet was fine; fish & chips so/so.
My favorite to order is the Palm City Salad - it comes with either grilled chicken or grilled shrimp - and the portion is so big i can never finish it! Their fresh seafood specials are always just that - superfresh - and light and well cooked. The drinks are generous - wine list is adequate for a casual dinner... More
I went here expecting more but the food and interior were just okay. I dont know if the expereince warranted the bill I got at the end.

We are planning a BBQ at our Villa in Bon Accord an I would like to know the best place to buy meat. I was in the Penny Savers in Canaan and the selection was somewhat limited. Is there a butcher shop or a market with a better selection? How about fish?
Where does one find charcoal to use in the BBQ? Is that the fuel that is used here or is it something else?

Garmin Tempe - External Temp Sensor
Garmin Tempe - External Temp Sensor
Simple device, but often it gives the wrong temperature
This device for the garmin phenix is easy to use. However it takes long time to stabilise its new temperature reading when going from inside and out. It is also strongly affected by the sun. It is sometimes difficult to find shadow, and this issue could perhaps be improved if the device had been produced in white plastic instead of black. H
04 April 2013
Simple to use and accurate.
Bought this to go with my garmin GPS. Now winter is here wanted to keep an eye on the temperature.
I clip this little sensor to my backpack and the GPS does the rest.
Simple to set up and worth the money.

Oce and Memjet Set to Transform Large-Format Printing Landscape
Océ and Memjet have signed an agreement to develop a fundamentally new, large format color printer that is set to change the large format digital printing landscape.
Océ and Memjet have signed an agreement to develop a fundamentally new, large format color printer that is set to change the large format digital printing landscape. The first concept for this joint initiative called Project Velocity is being displaying during Drupa 2012. It offers game-changing digital technology that prints up to 15 times faster than conventional inkjet systems – speeds never believed possible during Drupa 2008 for large format applications. Now print providers have a powerful digital option for large format, high volume color printing. They can use this technology to enter new markets, expand their services and generate new revenues.
Velocity combines Océ's expertise in productive printing and workflow for large format environments with Memjet's high-speed, digital color printing technology. Imagine printing 100 A0 posters in just 12 minutes on Velocity – versus 3 hours on a traditional inkjet system. Or printing 250 A0 posters on Velocity in the 20-30 minutes it takes to set up an offset run, with the added benefit of variable content.
Velocity is on display and will be demonstrated hourly in the Canon Europe Ltd. Drupa stand, Hall 8A, C06-1. Océ intends to obtain feedback from print professionals to incorporate in further development efforts. The presentation of Velocity is the result of more than three years of joint engineering and product development between Océ and Memjet.
Demonstrates Océ strategy – fast and relevant innovation
Erik van Eldik, Vice President Wide Format Printing Systems at Océ says, "Velocity is the result of our collaborative approach to innovation. The market has long waited for a productive color solution for the high volume segment. We selected Memjet as a technology partner because of the value that their impressive technology adds to the highly regarded productivity and reliability of our wide format systems. We focused on complementing our innovation assets and know-how with Memjet technology to create a product that the market was demanding as quickly as possible."
"Today represents another milestone for Memjet as we drive forward in our mission to bring fast, affordable color to markets worldwide," says Len Lauer, Memjet president and CEO. "The Océ partnership is significant, underscoring the performance that Memjet technology and components deliver. We are extremely excited and proud to partner with Océ, who is a leader in the market. Their wide format experience, excellent product development, sales and marketing expertise, and worldwide brand and distribution make them the ideal partner for Memjet in the wide format segment."
Breakthrough productivity for large format, digital color printing
The Velocity concept is a highly productive large format, digital color printing system. The 106 centimeter (42 inches) wide print path can produce up to 500 A0s per hour at 1600 x 800 dpi.
Some lead customers have already shown interest in participating in trade trials with Velocity, and Océ expects to identify others during Drupa. Based on market feedback from leading print professionals on Drupa Océ will determine if and when Velocity will move to production and commercialization phase. In the second half of 2012 Océ expects to come back with more concrete information. All pricing and availability will be determined according to a definitive product.

From D Weddings Fall-Winter 2012
Nicole Hammann and Jeremy Cox met in college at a country dance hall, and though Jeremy was not the best dancer (Her words, not ours.), she let him take her for a spin. The beautiful bride donned a Monique Lhuillier gown for her March 3, 2012, nuptials. Why mention the dress? Because Nicole was the winner of our Bridal Gown Slim Down contest. At five days a week, it was a big-time commitment, but as she says, "I made great friends, and I still do the boot camp." After exchanging vows on Winfrey Point at White Rock Lake, the couple celebrated with their almost 200 guests (which included some of her new Bridal Gown Slim Down friends).

Vegetarian Tofu Recipes
Tofu with Peanut Miso Sauce
By itself, tofu can be very bland; the best remedy is a flavorful sauce paired with a load of vegetables. In this recipe I used leftover chicken, silken tofu, broccoli, red bell peppers, beech and button mushrooms, Japanese eggplant and onions. I added the chicken pieces at the last minute after reserving a portion for the vegetarians in my house.
When paired with a thick, bold, rich peanut miso sauce and served on a bed of steamed jasmine rice, you'll have a one-dish meal sure to satisfy your family.

The Asian New Year is Sunday, and as you may have noticed, I've been cooking a lot of tofu dishes over the past few days. Next I'll share with you some of my favorite New Year's desserts. Stay tuned!

Black Bean Tofu Recipe
This is a simple vegetarian recipe, but simple doesn't mean that it lacks flavor. I pan-fried thick slices of tofu until the outer layer was very crispy, then quickly sautéed it with fermented black beans and snow peas. The greens were still crisp and provided a great color to the dish.
If you're starting to think about the upcoming Asian New Year celebration (called Tết in Vietnamese), you might be looking for vegan recipes. Well, search no more! Tradition requires us to eat vegetarian food (ăn chay) on the last day of the previous year and first day of New Year and I will be sharing a few more Vietnamese vegetarian dishes with you until the celebration begins.

Vegetarian Stir Fry Recipe: Tofu with Beans and Carrots
I hadn't cooked tofu in a while and my husband Lulu asked for a vegetarian stir fry. I've wanted him to eat healthier, so I was happy to oblige. The base of the stir fry contains carrots, green beans and onions from Full Circle. To this, I added some kumquat jelly I made last winter (you could use any kind of sweetener you like) and a mixture of fresh garlic and red Thai bird chiles Lulu planted early this Spring. It's just the right combination of sweet and spicy, and I love that the recipe is flexible enough to make use of whatever you have on hand.
I've been enjoying my weekly box from Full Circle. It feels like Santa Claus is leaving me a present on my doorstep every week! And fittingly, our friend Kris from Full Circle is offering a number of free farm boxes, so PhamFatale readers can also experience Full Circle. This week, we're putting up 1 prize and there will be more to come throughout the year as well. To enter, first check on FullCircle.com to make sure there are deliveries available in your area (Shipping is included for all members in CA, WA, and ID, and Anchorage, AK. Outside of Anchorage, AK, there is a shipping fee, and prices vary depending on location.). If so, simply enter your email address and I'll select one winner next Monday. Good luck everyone!

Tofu Stir Fry Recipe
Catering to a large crowd of vegetarians in my house, I often find myself cooking a lot of lentils (or any legumes) and tofu dishes. I realized I haven't cooked any tofu in quite some time, so I made my quick and easy tofu stir fry this evening. I sautéed a bunch of vegetables (Brussels sprouts, straw mushrooms, zucchini and red bell peppers) that I had on hand and mixed them with the tofu.
My husband loves this dish and says he could eat the same thing every day. I usually serve it with brown rice and a bowl of canh (Vietnamese broth). It's a complete, flavorful meal, plus it's healthy! What else could you ask for?

Road conditions could change as wet roads freeze and more precipitation moves through SALEM – Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews across the state have been mobilized today to treat roads as a wintry mix of precipitation has been affecting travel. Most roads in VDOT's Salem District are currently in clear or minor condition, which means they are mostly wet with isolated slick spots.
Carole Rogers of Bedford knits all year.
A lot. Enough, in fact, to provide 75 sweaters and 125 hats and scarves to a program that gives one of each to students at a Bedford or Franklin County school each year.
Crews from several area fire departments were still on the scene of a fire at 2 a.m. Sunday morning at 719 Longwood Ave. in Bedford, a fire that began late Saturday night.
This year's Festival of Trees has brightened the Bedford Welcome Center with 26 decorated Christmas trees.
"This is the most we've had out of all the five years we've been doing this," said Sue Trussell, whose duties include managing the Welcome Center's events calendar.
The battle for Bedford County got underway last week, with Jefferson Forest drawing first blood via a win over Staunton River.
But it wasn't easy.
The Cavs had their hands full with the undersized Eagles all evening. In the end, the lads from Forest hung on for an 86-82 win in front of an undersized crowd at the Sabredome.
"There wasn't a whole lot of defense played in this game," said JF Head Coach Paul Redgate. "Still, we're very happy to get the win."
Board of Supervisors Chairman Steve Arrington closed a marathon meeting, which ran past midnight, with a surprise announcement.
"This night has been a very difficult meeting for me," Arrington said. It was a long meeting—it was District 3 Supervisor Roger Cheek's last meeting—but it also marked what Arrington said was a difficult decision for him. He said that he will resign from the board of supervisors, effective at the end of January.
The Bedford County Board of Supervisors last meeting of the year held on Monday, and the last board of supervisors meeting for District 3 Supervisor Roger Cheek, turned into a lengthy session that ran past midnight.
It began with an appearance by Delegate-elect Terry Austin. Austin was elected to the 19th House of Delegates seat last month after Delegate Lacey Putney, who held the seat for 52 years, chose not to seek reelection.
Goodview Elementary School is helping one of its own, a family that has taken a double-barreled hit.
A canned food drive at Liberty High School (LHS) received an enthusiastic response from the students. They brought 1,385 cans to school. The teens had an incentive. The drive included an election in which the students could decide which faculty members would get a pie in the face on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
The kickoff of the Bedford Christmas season was, once again, given an able assist in the form of the YMCA's Christmas Classic 5K race.
As usual, the race drew a large throng, featured fun and festivities and had a special guest. This time, however, the welcomed visitor wasn't the jolly guy in the red suit .
