Interview with Bill Belew
Source: Elvis Australia
July 18, 2015
Q : Did Elvis approach you for the 68 Special?
A : Actually it was Steve Binder who was the producer of the show, and also directed it. He had gathered together a group of us that were from the east. Because he wanted something different than what was being done in Hollywood at that time. And, my first experience working with Steve was on the Petula Clark Special when Petula came to America. We did that special and was received with great applause and accolades from everybody. And so, when Steve was approached to do Elvis, he asked if I would do the wardrobe on it cause he wanted to keep us all together.
Q : What was your idea for the black leather outfit?
A : Actually when we started talking about it, Steve said what he wanted literally to do was to base it around a concert, of Elvis and the boys. And he said 'What are your thoughts about what he will wear?' And I thought about it and then I said 'I've seen him in leather jacket, but I've never seen him in leather'. And I said 'Why don't we do'--- because at that period, everybody wore denim. I mean, wore blue jeans and denim jackets. And I said 'Why don't I have a denim jacket and a pair of jeans'. I said 'Why don't I take those and I have those copied in black leather?' And Steve said, 'I love the idea you said. Will you do a sketch of it?' and I did a sketch for him. And that's how it came about. And, in looking at Elvis, the one thing that struck me when I met him, that he was a very good looking man. And, a lot of things that during the period when I started designing are based upon things that, or periods that I go through in my life. And I've always been a great fan of Napoleon. And when I looked at Elvis, I said he's the one person that I could do the Napoleonic collar with it, because it'll frame his face. And like a lot of things that you do for women, when you're designing their clothes, is to draw your attention to their face. And I thought well if I have the collar up there, people will notice his face and it'll frame it, and however I do it and that's how the collar came about.
Q : It was your idea not Elvis.
Q : When Elvis made his comeback in Las Vegas, tell me what he wore.
A : Well, when Joe had called me, saying that Colonel Parker would like me to do Elvis wardrobe for Vegas and would I be interested and I said yes. What we wanted to do at the time, was experiment of what would be the best look for him. And, of course, that was really my first time to work in Vegas. Having worked on the stage in New York it's quite different. But the lighting there was still in its early stages. And we found that the color that worked the best was white. It allowed them to change the colors on him, where as black would absorb all the color. And it was hard to highlight him. And we experimented with blue which was one of his favorite colors. Red. But it just ended up that white was the best thing and, of course, you know, you want the star to be the person, you know, and not the wardrobe.
Q : Black held more heat.
A : Yeah, also that, too, you know. It's great. It makes you look thin. But at that time goodness knows, that was not one of my worries to making him look thin. I mean, I've always been very lucky in that, as I say now, when I talk to the fan clubs. Bob Mackie had Cher, I had Elvis Presley. I mean, it was a fabulous body to design for. He really wore and had a flair for clothes.
Q : Were they made out of gabardine?
A : For the special, I used at that time which was a very hot fabric. And a lot of mens clothing were being made it of it, was called a stretch wool jersey. And so when we went to Vegas, I contacted Ice Capades, and I talked to some friends of mine there. And I said, 'Would ya'll be interested in making Elvis Presleys clothes for Vegas?' Because I would like to use what is known for ice skaters as stretch gab, or gabardine. And, it allows skaters to do their splits, their turns, and everything. And I thought it would be great for Elvis because the one thing he said that he wanted to incorporate in his act was his karate. And I thought I've got to find something that will allow him to do that. The wool jersey that we used for a lot of these suits on the special, although it looks great, it's very warm. And, I knew that he was a person that perspired a lot when he performed. So I didn't want to add any more heat than I absolutely had to his wardrobe.
Q : His costumes became more and more jeweled. What was his favorite?
A : Well I know he liked the dragon suit. I know he liked the peacock. He liked the leopard. And, of course, I think possibly his favorite was always the Aloha Hawaii suit, the American eagle, you know.
Q : Didn't you have short notice to make a cape?
So I said 'We'll do this cape, and you'll come out, you'll have your back to the audience and you'll open it up. And then go into the overture and bam you'll turn, and there you'll be'. And the cape was to be floor length. So we made the cape. The cape went to Hawaii. And Elvis put the cape on, went to step forward, and fell over backwards. The cape was so heavy that he couldn't even walk in it. And I got the call that said 'Bill, that the cape is great but Elvis can't move in it'. So we immediately went in production, made a short cape, for him to wear for it. But I always had this, all these years I always carried this image in my head of Elvis making the step forward and then bam. Laying there amongst all this cape. And I can see him howling with laughter, too.
Q : How long did you have to make the new cape?
A : We had just a little over a day. We worked literally 24 hours on it.
Q : Elvis also had trouble with fringe?
Q : The fringe was so long at Inglewood that he got tied up.
A : Right, yes. Oh yes.
Q : What was the idea behind the gypsy suit?
A : It was just an idea like anything else. I had just seen a picture of a gypsy costume and I just thought well that would be interesting. I was always trying to think of interesting things, because so much of what we did and the progression Elvis costumes were really dictated by the fans. A lot of it I would've been interested in starting much earlier. But the one thing that I never in all the period I designed for Elvis, I never wanted any mention of his masculinity be brought up by oh, you know, why was he wearing this or why is he doing that? So it was really just a progression of the fans. The more we did, the more they would applaud. And, the more they would do. And so it finally got to the point where I figured well, we can do the jewels, and there won't be any question, you know, about what he's wearing.
Q : Tell us about the Sun Dial.
A : Again, I was reading something in a magazine and happened to see this article on the Aztecs. And I saw the Aztec sun and I thought, you know, wouldn't that be a great design? And just used it.
Q : It seemed so intricate and difficult to make.
A : No. There were others that were much more difficult but it was very intricate in the fact that it was very heavily embroidered. And it took quite awhile to work the pattern out and to do it.
Q : You worked on future costumes.
A : Well the last thing I was working on and we had actually done a prototype of it. And, it was called a laser suit. And I had met an electrician who was into lasers. And lasers at that point were still relatively new. And laser shows were becoming very big. And so, I designed what I thought was going to be ultimately the jewel suit. It was called the diamond suit. And, what we did, there were certain points, and it had very large stones that would tell him where he could puncture himself. And that's where the laser would shoot. And we had these strategically placed on the suit. And as I say, you know, whenever he would touch himself then the laser beams. And, we had it almost to the point where it was ready to be shown to him. And I was in fact, the morning I heard of his death, I was on my way to the studio because we were gonna put it on the figure. And the electrician and I were going to test it. And, that's it.
Q : If Elvis had gone to Europe what were your ideas?
A : The laser suit was it. Yeah, that was the one, you know. but it just didn't--- yeah.
A : He just was so great in that he never questioned anything I ever did. A lot of times Joe would call and say. There is one funny story. We had just started out in Vegas. And I did not know this about Elvis, that Elvis was a night person. And in those days I was considerably younger so, maybe probably 11:30, 12:00s probably when I went to bed. And so I was in bed. And I think it was like about 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning and the phone rang. And of course, the only thing at that period in my life was, it's my mother. Somethings happened. My mother, they're calling. So I pick up the phone and it was Joe Esposito saying, 'I want to talk to you. Elvis wants to order some more clothes'. And all of a sudden, I realized I don't have any paper or a pencil or anything. And I had a bedside table that I had made beside my bed and it was covered in velvet. So the only thing I could do is I took my finger, and I started writing Joe's notes on the velvet and thinkin', god please let me remember everything he tells me. So I'm writing all this down and Joe's giving me all this information. And I immediately got up, turned the light on after we hung up, and got pencil and paper and sat down and started deciphering all my notes. From then on, there was always pencil and paper by my bed. I said, this is never gonna happen again.
But basically, the wardrobe that I did for the stage, he never said, you know, later on I did find out that, which I liked and it made me laugh, is that it would arrive and he would model it for the boys. And I've seen pictures of that from some people, of him modeling the wardrobe, and laughing and having a good time.
And, so, one day I was up at the house, after Elvis had come back. And normally all I did, I was in the living room and we conducted all of our meetings. And, I was asked to come back into the bedroom and I thought oh god now what's gonna happen, you know. I'm goin back. And he and Priscilla were in bed and he all the books out and the pamphlets and everything from the president. He said I want you to see all this and he said see how great it is. And we were sittin' there and we were lookin' at the books and the things that were autographed for him. And I said, 'I know how you feel because I know what it was like when I met President Kennedy'. I thought it was the greatest thing that had ever happened to me. And later I happened to work with Tish Balridge and she said 'What could I do for you?' And I said 'Somewhere in the vaults, theres a picture of me meeting President Kennedy. I would like to have it'. And Tish Balridge was just absolutely fabulous. I don't know how she ever found it. God she did and I got the picture and it still sits on my table, in my living room. But as I said to Elvis, I said 'I know how excited you are. You know, I just I can, I'm right there with ya'. And it was like a little boy, you know. We just had a piece of candy and boy we were just havin a good time. And I think I have a book and a couple of other papers that he gave me that night. He said 'I want you to have these, from my visit, at the White House'. Terrific.
Q : Was it kind of a purple suit?
A : No, it was dark navy blue.
Q : What were you thinking when you designed it?
A : Well it was very similar to almost everything else that I had done for him. The basic clothes, you know. And the only thing that I did, is add the cape to the suit, which sometimes we did sometimes we didnt, you know.
Q : Tell us about your TCB.
A : I was absolutely amazed. You know, I had seen the guys with their TCBs. And one day, I was up there and we were discussing some wardrobe things. And he was, which he did most of the time, he was sitting on the floor in front of me, as we were talkin'. And he said 'I have a gift for you'. And he opened it up and there was a TCB. And I just couldn't believe it. I thought, gosh, I'm one of the guys now. Really.
Q : Tell us some memories of Colonel Parker.
A : I had very little to do with the Colonel. Almost all of my dealings were with Elvis.
Q : Where did you work?
A : In Los Angeles. I lived in Los Angeles at that period in my life. Yeah, because I was doing a lot of television and other things at that time.
Q : Did Elvis ever tell you anything that's always stayed in your mind?
A : No, no, not really. I think the only thing for me is, he called and said that Sonny West was gonna get married, and he wanted a suit. And so a tuxedo. So I designed a tuxedo for him. And he said to me, 'Go down to Schwartz and Albusser and have them make me some jewelry'. And I said 'Oh no, no, Elvis. That's too personal. You do that yourself', you know. 'No, no, no, you go on down there. You design me some jewelry'. And so I went down there and that's how I met Saul and Abe. And as time progressed we got to know each other.
And it's just one of the best stories of how generous this man was. And, Saul was tellin' me that there was a lady that had been coming in for quite some time, and had been admiring an emerald and diamond ring. And it was very expensive. And, she just would come in. And look at it and they'd been trying to talk to her about putting some money on it, paying it off. No, no, no her husband wouldn't allow her to do it. So anyway she was there that day when Elvis walked in. And, she looked at it and he took it and put it back into the case. And Elvis said to him, you know, 'What's that all about?' And he said well, you know, and told him the story about her. And, how she'd always wanted this ring and she was afraid her husband would get upset if she bought it. And, he said, 'Go and box it up and give it to her'. And he said 'You really?' He said, 'Do it', and so he did. He went to the lady and she said 'What's this?' And he said, 'That gentleman over there, Mr. Presley, would like for you to have this ring'. And she got very emotional and she said 'No, no you can't do this' and he said, 'Anybody that wants something that bad, should have it'. And he said 'I want you to have it. And please, accept it with my love and my gratitude'. And I just thought that was the neatest thing in the world. Just the neatest thing.
Q : Is there a favorite story you'd like to tell his fans?
A : Oh. I guess the only, which god one fan told me something I didn't even know. I guess is really the splitting suit in Vegas. I just think, I was ready to die. I just wanted to go underneath the table. I just felt so embarrassed, when I found out that the suit had split. Needless to say I went back and made sure that never happened again. But for me, there were a lot of things, you know, about him but, it's for me there have been a lot of people, a lot of wonderful people, that in so many ways that he opened the door in designing clothes for people, that he opened for me that I probably would never have gotten to them had it not have been that entre, you know. Because he did--- the special caused a lot of talk, and a lot of interesting. I still find it, you know, to this day I still there are times that I play it. It's still wonderful, you know.
Q : Tell us about that story.
A : I had forgotten about this one. When Joe called us and said the cape and the belt had been thrown in the audience, we were not prepared for that. We, of course, immediately went right into production and made it. And at that time I was doing a show with Flip Wilson. And I had again created Geraldine for Flip. He knew what she was like. But, not visually what she was like. So he said 'I leave it to you to create Geraldine'. So I had to stay in LA because that Friday night we were going to be taping that, and the clothes had to go to Hawaii. So, the plane had been sent, tickets, everything were set. So I said to Nicky, who did the embroider work on the clothes for Elvis. I said 'Nicky, do me a favor, please. Take these and go to Hawaii, and deliver them for me'. And Nicky said 'Oh sure, great'. So he gets on there.
And there is an empty seat for Elvis clothes. So, little while after they were in the air, the airplane stewardess came by and she said, 'What is that in the seat beside you?' And he said, 'That's Elvis Presleys belt and cape. I'm delivering them to Hawaii for his special'. And a little bit later, Nicky said 'I hear this murmuring'. And he said, it's the stewardess. She said, 'Elvis cape is up in that seat'. And he said a little bit later she came back and she said, 'Could I touch that?' And he said, 'Sure'. And she reaches down and she went back she said, 'I touched Elvis cape'. I had forgotten how funny that was till Nicky reminded me of that story. 'I've touched Elvis cape'.
Q : You wouldn't be surprised now to know how many people would love to touch the clothes.
A : Exactly. Exactly.
Q : Your designs are so original that everywhere you see Elvis you see your work. How does that make you feel?
A : Terrific. I think probably one of the neatest and coolest things that ever happened was, I think maybe it was either like three or four years ago in Esquire. Versace said, 'The one thing that I envy is Bill Belew having the job of dressing Elvis Presley. That job I would've liked'. And I have the article and every once in awhile when I'm down, I pull it out and I read that and I thought, that ain't bad kid. Look from a little hick town in the south. That's pretty good that Versace wanted to design for Elvis, too.
Q : You made Elvis happy and you made millions of fans the world over happy. A thousand years from now they'll still enjoy your work.
A : It's so nice to have been a part of his life, really.
Q : It's so nice to have you sit down and talk with us. Thank you.
A : Oh, my pleasure, always.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

This was the first recipe I made from the collection "Desserts for Two" and it was a hit. My husband loved it and the size was perfect - a little something sweet for after dinner, but no leftovers to tempt us to eat more. I will definitely make this again sometime.
Feb 15, 2015
Very good. A perfect "couples" dessert. A great end to our Valentine's Day meal.
Feb 23, 2014
This is the best and so easy! My guests loved it and my husband is asking for more. I am going to try and double the ingredients because this only makes 2 servings and is just not enough! I am hoping that doubling everything will work out but I am a little hesitant to double the cocoa and I note that someone made it in a 8" square pan and said not to double the topping. So, I'll work with that. But a note, for the first batch I did not have Ramekins so I put it in a small dish. Serving it up was not as pretty so I definitely feel the Ramekins are well worth it.
Feb 14, 2013
Very tasty Valentine dessert.
Feb 14, 2013
It is picky husband approved. Its so simple to make & I almost always have everything I need on hand.
Jan 8, 2013
YUM. I tripled this & put in an 8" square baking dish for easy transport to a potluck. The only thing I might change is doubling the amount of sauce poured over cake batter. It went over extremely well. Glad the recipe is for just two, no excuse not to pamper oneself with this!
Jan 3, 2013
Made it today and it was wonderful! I wouldn't change a thing.
Jan 3, 2013
I thought it was very easy I did have to cook a little longer as the bottoms wasnt quite cooked all the way. It is very hard to get recipes for 2 so this was great.
Jan 3, 2013
you are so right!! It is very easy, quick and really delicious. Thank you. Great recipe for dropin guests.
Jan 3, 2013
Thank's for sharing this delicious, quick n easy recipe. Anything that say Mocha is what I love. I had to modify using Splenda (diebetic) and it was still delicious!!!!

Ever since Ben Franklin foolishly experimented with his kites and keys, trying to catch lightning in a glass jar, we have understood that lightning is the result of the difference, or potential, between positive and negative electrical charges. What Ben didn't know was that these differences in electrical charges can be measured in hundreds of thousands of volts. The positive charges are usually higher in a cloud formation while the negative charges are lower, resulting in electrical current movements within a cloud, between clouds, or from cloud to ground. There is also evidence that the potential can travel in the opposite direction, that is from ground to cloud, meaning that the positive charges are accumulating on objects on the ground below the cloud.
Lightning Protection Systems Many sailors believe that they are safe if their boat has a "lightning protection system," believing the term can be construed to mean "strike prevention." But the truth is that lightning protection systems are not capable of preventing lightning strikes. The real function of a lightning protection system is to direct the electrical discharge, if the vessel is struck by lightning, in a way that the likelihood of damage to the vessel or injury to the crew is minimized.
The issue of lightning protection systems is clouded further for many sailors because there are two schools of thought on protection for sailboats among lightning experts. One school holds that it is not necessary to protect a sailboat at all; the other accepts the value of lightning protection. However, and even more confusing, with the latter, there are many variations on what constitutes proper protection. Perhaps with a better understanding of lightning and lightning protection systems, each sailor can make more knowledgeable choices on whether to have a lightning protection system on board.
|"The human body is mostly water, a much better electrical conductor than air."
Metal is a well-known conductor of electricity, and aluminum and steel boats are likely to suffer less damage than wooden and fiberglass vessels, which are fairly good insulators. This is not to say metal-hulled boats aren't hit by lightning, only that they can dissipate the strike more quickly because of their conductivity to ground. For non-conductive hulls, particularly if the spar is aluminum and topped with a radio antenna, it's probably better to have a lightning protection system.
The most important thing to keep in mind about a lightning strike is that the human body is mostly water, a much better electrical conductor than air. You or your crew can become a path to ground, even if you're not touching any metal objects in the boat! This phenomenon is called "side flash," and it occurs when the electrical charge jumps from one conductor to another, always seeking (and finding) a better path to ground.
Thunderstorm Precautions
Being on board a sailboat during a thunderstorm poses an immediate danger to the crew, whether or not there's a lightning protection system. If leaving the boat for shelter on land is not possible when thunderstorms roll through, safety precautions should be taken immediately by the crew to minimize personal danger.

Morning Brief: October 27
Halloweek Begins
Halloween's on Friday, which means New Yorkers have just a week left to visit the city's numerous haunted houses. No, I don't mean the Dakota, but purpose-built haunted houses charging admission to scare your pants off. The most interesting one would be old New York-themed Nightmare New York, but Blood Manor is popular and Blackout caters to the more extreme customers.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Everyone wants teachers to use technology in the classroom. But you're busy -- meeting standards, prepping students for tests -- and maybe you're not too fond of computers, anyway. Never fear – there are easy ways to bring your classroom up-to-date, technologically.
Do you have a iPad in your classroom for your use? How about iPads for students to use? Could you get a classroom iPad?
What kind of Internet access is available at your school? What are school policies on student use of the Internet?
What do you have to do to get Ipads for your students?
Also try to find a technology "mentor" on campus – the computer teacher or just another teacher who uses technology more than you do. It helps to know there's someone who can guide you and help you incorporate technology in the classroom if you're feeling overwhelmed.
Perfect Ed Tech Activities for Beginners
Do a PowerPoint "Game Show Review"
Many tech-savvy teachers have used Microsoft PowerPoint to create review games based on famous game shows, including "Jeopardy!," "The Weakest Link," and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" These templates are available online for teachers to download and revise, including their own content. Check out this template or search "powerpoint game show template" online. A fun way to practice using a projector and get your students to review important material!
Have students complete a written classroom activity as if it was online.
Ever have your students write a diary from the perspective of a character or famous person? Why not have them create a blog instead? Take a look at various blog sites (Blogger and WordPress are two of the most popular) and create a template for your students to fill in.
Want students to summarize information? Ask them to tweet the lesson – that is, have them write summaries of 140 characters or less, as if they were writing on Twitter. Or create a template for a web page and ask students to use it to design a webpage about the content they are studying. While these activities don't actually use technology, they familiarize you – and your students – with the Web 2.0 world, which can be a great first step.
Try a Webquest
A webquest guides students to search the Internet for specific information. For example, students are asked to serve as curators of a museum on a particular topic. They must search the Internet to determine what artifacts belong in their museum and explain their choices.
There are tons of already-constructed webquests out there, a perfect way to teachers to begin integrating Internet searches into their curriculum.
Good Ed Tech Activities for All Skill Levels
Use technology as a topic for a writing assignment
For younger students, have them write a "how-to" piece about using technology in the classroom. It's a natural fit, as young people usually have a higher comfort level with technology than many adults. Tell kids to write a piece instructing someone – maybe a grandparent? – on how to send an email, set up an Ipod, or play a video game. For older kids, have them research the impact technology has had on a particular time in history or science or include a unit on science fiction and technology in your Language Arts curriculum.
Create a class webpage
A class webpage can be anything from a basic site where you post announcements (think "online bulletin board") to a much more elaborate one that includes class photos, a class blog, downloadable materials, and your own domain name. Those of you with a little more experience may enjoy Webs.com (http://www.webs.com/), which offers both free and premium service packages.
Use an online grading system
While some schools are mandating the shift to web-based gradebooks, you don't have to wait to try one out. Sites like MyGradebook.com (http://www.mygradebook.com) offer the opportunity to track grades, record attendance and seating charts, and compile reports on student progress. You can also email students and parents directly to allow them to view their updated grades. Never worry again about bringing home your gradebook – you can access it from any computer.
Do an email exchange
When we were kids, some teachers had class penpals or had you practice your penmanship by writing a letter to an author. Try the 21st-century version of that by instituting an email exchange. Have your students exchange emails with students in another school, city, state, or country – especially valuable if both sets of students are studying the same material. Or arrange for a group of experts to accept emails from your students on a particular topic. Students who fail to see the "real world implications" of math or science may develop new interest if you can put them in touch with a video game designer, astronaut, or engineer who uses those skills every day. And for adults who might want to volunteer but feel pressed for time, email can be a great way to help out, since they can respond on their own schedule.
Give multimedia presentations – or have your students give them
Liven up a traditional lecture by using a PowerPoint presentation that incorporates photographs, diagrams, sound effects, music, or video clips. For high school teachers, consider having your students develop presentations as a review tool before semester exams. Their work may be so good that you will want to use it in future classes!
Supplement your lessons
When you've taught the same material for awhile, you – and your students – may find it less-than-exciting. A quick Internet search may help you identify ways to supplement your lessons with interesting new material. Make a habit of searching before you begin each new unit. You may find photographs, sound clips, video clips, and more that can bring your lessons to life. Many museums now offer online "virtual tours" and teachers are constantly developing new presentations and webquests, which are posted online. Add these in to keep your lessons fresh.
Advanced Ed Tech Activities
Create a class blog or wiki
Take appropriate precautions for Internet safety, but a class blog or wiki can be a great way to integrate technology in the classroom and develop student knowledge. Some teachers use blogs to drive outside-of-class discussion – particularly helpful for AP/IB students who are motivated but short on class time.
A wiki is a website that uses software which allows many different people to edit it (think Wikipedia). Have your students work together to create a wiki on a topic they are studying. They will need to correct each other's work and collaborate in order to make it a success.
Listen to – or create – a Podcast.
There are thousands of podcasts available on the Web. Search for ones that meet your students' needs. Some colleges are offering professors' lectures via podcast, which can be great for advanced students. In other cases, you may be able to find an interview with the author of a book your students are reading, or other supplemental material. Make arrangements to download it and play it for your students. For the really ambitious, have students create their own podcasts to document their progress through the year or discuss their ideas on a variety of issues pertaining to the course.
"Publish" your students' work
Tools exist today to allow your students to create really professional looking work using a desktop computer. Have students create a short film, run an ongoing class website that features student work and opinions, or – if they're really ambitious – raise the money to have their work professionally published by a self-publishing company like iUniverse or Lulu.
No matter what your skill level, integrating technology in the classroom offers the chance to increase student interest and teach valuable professional skills – and have some fun!

Born in 1959 in Dordogne France, Daniel started drawing at an early age and sharpened his skills as a graduate from the Fine Arts School in Bordeaux. After graduation, he worked as a graphic designer, creating his own company and working for clients such as UNICEF, Pierre Balmain and the UN. At age 40, he began to question his move away from art, and a meeting with the painter Pierre Doutreleau gave rise to his desire to live his dream of becoming an artist.
In his professional life, Daniel traveled extensively in New York and Hong Kong. During these trips he developed a fascination with the urban world and its larger-than-life perspectives, and now he recreates these graphic ambiances in his paintings. The lines of buildings are lost in the sky, the wide avenues seem endless and the colors clash. Initially, Daniel worked from photographs he had taken himself. Then through canvas after canvas, brimming with images of Brooklyn, Times Square, and Radio City Music Hall, he finally created more personal pictures of New York derived out of his imagination and his own perspective.
Daniel chooses to paint with alkyd oils, which are worked like traditional oils, but whose bonding allows for accelerated drying, which fits his temperament. Once the painting is finished, he applies thick layers of gloss varnish to reinforce the brightness of the subject. The knife, his tool of choice, allows him to work the material as a paste, in large strokes or to draw in the medium. The choice of this instrument is not accidental, the knife leaves no room for doubt. Daniel is impatient and is guided by gesture. Within minutes the canvas is covered with paint, to which he then adds material which he chisels like a sculpture, and the painting comes to life.
A painter by instinct, Daniel lets the paint lead him to an abstract and uncluttered representation. His approach is not calculated; Daniel does not think, he paints.

Cover the sky with your hand.
The summit of your palm is the moon.
Your fingers are streams of stardust
sweeping through an ancient dune
or the slender branches of forked trees.
Glide them across the desert,
over valleys, the soft and sediment.
I am every woman you have loved,
their dynamic wings beat in me.
Recall my eyes as history,
you have lived here a thousand years.

When you upgrade your Java EE applications to Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, the external interfaces exposed by your applications can be affected. In turn, client applications that depend on those interfaces can be affected.
The following sections describe the ramifications of upgrade on application clients, as well as guidelines for addressing any the resulting client issues:
Impact of Upgrade on Java Naming and Directory Interface Clients
When an application is upgraded to WebLogic Server, JSP and servlet clients can be affected because of differences in the HTTP session state replication model between Oracle WebLogic Server and OC4J.
Unlike OC4J clusters, which can support any number of in-memory replicated copies of the HTTP session state, Oracle WebLogic Server in-memory HTTP session state replication supports only a primary-secondary, two-copy model.
In most cases, this difference should have no impact on JSP and Servlet clients; however, for rare cases where an application might explicitly rely on more than two copies of the HTTP session state to be available for its clients, consider using Oracle Coherence.
For more information, refer to the information about Oracle Coherence on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):
The following sections describe considerations for clients of upgraded applications that use the OC4J Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) provider:
Modifying Clients to Use the Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI Provider
Understanding the Scope of the Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI Namespace
If any clients of your upgraded applications use the OC4J Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) provider to lookup application interfaces or resources, then you must modify those clients so they use the Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI provider instead.
You can change the application's JNDI initial context creation code as follows:
Identify all instances of the OC4J JNDI URLs in the client code.
Typically the OC4J URL is structured in the following format:
An example URL for an Oracle Application Server 10g installation with an OC4J instance named
oc4j1 and a deployed application called
myapplication would be as follows:
Note that the prefix can be
opmn:ormi for a full Oracle Application Server installation that is using the Oracle Process Management and Notification infrastructure, or it can be just
ormi: if you are using a standalone OC4J installation.
Change the URL of the provider so it points to the target WebLogic Server domain's administration server using the
t3 protocol.
For example:
Make sure the security credentials are valid within the target Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
Change the initial context factory to the Oracle WebLogic Server
WLInitialContextFactory class.
This class should also be made available to the client application's class loader through a Oracle WebLogic Server client jar file. You create the client jar file (
wlfullclient.jar) using the WebLogic JarBuilder tool.
For more information, see the following sections in Oracle Fusion Middleware Programming Stand-alone Clients for Oracle WebLogic Server:
Note that if the client is itself running within an OC4J server instance, the
environment-naming-url-factory-enabled attribute in the server's
server.xml may have to be set to true to allow the use of multiple JNDI providers within the same OC4J instance.
Another important difference between the OC4J and Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI providers that might impact client applications is the scoping of JNDI namespaces.
OC4J JNDI objects can have an explicit application scope. Therefore, when performing a lookup, OC4J JNDI clients can use a URL which identifies a specific OC4J server instance and includes the name of the target application.
The Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI objects on the other hand always have a global namespace. Therefore, a Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI client performing a lookup cannot specify a URL identifying a target application explicitly.
As a result, as part of the upgrade to WebLogic Server, you must ensure that the JNDI name of all JNDI resources deployed to the same WebLogic Server domain are unique, regardless of the application to which they belong. If necessary, JNDI clients must be modified to use their target object's unique JNDI name.
There are two cases where the upgrade of an application to Oracle WebLogic Server could have impact an impact on EJB client applications. Refer to the following sections for more information:
EJB clients in this category are either stand-alone or deployed to an OC4J server.
For this category of EJB clients, you must modify the client to use the Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI provider, as described in Section 6.2.1, "Modifying Clients to Use the Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI Provider".
The use of the WebLogic Server JNDI provider will lead to the client application obtaining WebLogic Server EJB client stubs that can potentially impact the client application as follows:
RMI Protocol: Client applications must use one of the Oracle WebLogic Server RMI transport protocols, rather than the OC4J RMI transport protocol, ORMI.
The default WebLogic RMI transport protocol is the Oracle WebLogic Server
T3 protocol, but you can also use IIOP.
Load Balancing: In OC4J, client EJB requests can be configured to be load-balanced through the
InitialContext JNDI object (random or sticky) across the OC4J cluster for each invocation of
In Oracle WebLogic Server, EJB client request load-balancing is handled automatically by remote EJB client stubs. The load-balancing behavior of these stubs is configured through
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor configurations and can be set to occur at
InitialContext creation or EJB method invocation time.
Note that the considerations mentioned here apply to either stand-alone clients or clients currently running within an OC4J server instance, and also those being upgraded to run within a WebLogic Server instance.
For EJB clients that are not deployed as stand-alone applications and that will continue running within an OC4J server instance and making remote invocations to an upgraded WebLogic Server EJB application, the following two additional implications of an upgrade should also be considered:
First, the application's security context will not be automatically propagated. If this security propagation is necessary, the client will require modification in order to explicitly use the existing security context's credentials at the creation of the WebLogic Server JNDI initial context.
Second, JTA transaction propagation and XA recovery within the context of the remote EJB invocations will not be possible and if needed the client application itself will require upgrade.
Applications that you upgrade might act as remote clients to EJB components that will continue running within an OC4J server. You must modify clients in this category to use the OC4J
RMIInitialContextFactory JNDI initial context factory located in the
oc4jclient.jar file.
oc4jclient.jar file must be available to the Oracle WebLogic Server class loaders for the application. For more information, see Section 5.3.4, "Using Shared Libraries and Class Loading on Oracle WebLogic Server".
Note that the propagation of security context requires the configuration of the target OC4J server instance as a Oracle WebLogic Server SSL client. Furthermore, JTA transaction propagation and XA recovery within the context of the remote EJB invocations will not be possible. If these features are required, then you must upgrade the target EJB application.
It should first be noted that the information contained in this section is with regards to JMS clients that are not Message Driven Beans (MDB). MDBs are usually tightly coupled to the JMS provider's resources and as such should always be upgraded together with these resources. Specific WebLogic Server MDB capabilities and behavior should be considered during the upgrade of MDB applications.The following sections describe two scenarios where the upgrade of an application to Oracle WebLogic Server might have an impact on JMS clients:
Changes Required When the JMS Provider is Upgraded to WebLogic Server
In this scenario, the JMS provider--and its related resources such as destinations and connection factories--is upgraded to Oracle WebLogic Server. You must modify both the upgraded client applications and the existing OC4J client applications still running within an OC4J server.
Specifically, you must modify the client applications to use the WebLogic Server JNDI provider as described in Section 6.2.1, "Modifying Clients to Use the Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI Provider".
When you modify the clients to use the Oracle WebLogic Server JNDI provider, the client applications obtain JMS resources from the Oracle WebLogic Server JMS provider and the following considerations should be taken into account because they could impact client applications:
Message Ordering: Like the OC4J JMS provider, Oracle WebLogic Server provides the capability to guarantee strictly ordered message processing. Additionally, the WebLogic Server JMS "Unit of Order" feature allows for additional message order processing capabilities. For more information, see "Using Message Unit-of-Order" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Programming JMS for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Connection Pooling: Unlike the OC4J JMS provider, the Oracle WebLogic Server JMS provider provides no pooling capability for stand-alone clients. If this feature is required, stand-alone clients should be modified to implement this capability through explicit re-use of JMS resources.
Network Connections: Clients using the WebLogic Server JMS provider use a single network connection per client virtual machine, regardless of the number of JMS connection objects used. This behavior is slightly different from the OC4J JMS provider, which associates each JMS connection object with a separate network connection.
JMS clients that are not stand-alone applications and that continue running within an OC4J server instance while using JMS resources within a WebLogic Server environment should use the OC4J Oracle Enterprise Messaging Server JMS Connector feature.
In this scenario, the JMS provider remains within an OC4J infrastructure and client applications being upgraded to Oracle WebLogic Server require adjustments. These types of client applications should treat the OC4J JMS resources as remote JMS providers and use the Oracle WebLogic Server "foreign server" feature in order to provide access to the OC4J JMS resources to the WebLogic Server deployed JMS clients.
For more information, see "Configuring Foreign Server Resources to Access Third-Party JMS Providers" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuring and Managing JMS for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Industries Transmission Investment
The Commission has established rules to bolster investment in the nation's transmission infrastructure, and to promote electric power reliability and lower costs for consumers, by reducing transmission congestion. The rule identifies specific incentives the Commission would allow based on a case-by-case analysis of individual transmission proposals.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 directed the Commission to develop incentive-based rate treatments for transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce, adding a new section 219 to the Federal Power Act. The rule implemented this new statutory directive through the following incentive-based rate treatments:
- Incentive rates of return on equity for new investment by public utilities (both traditional utilities and stand-alone transmission companies, or transcos);
- Full recovery of prudently incurred construction work in progress;
- Full recovery of prudently incurred pre-operations costs;
- Full recovery of prudently incurred costs of abandoned facilities;
- Use of hypothetical capital structures;
- Accumulated deferred income taxes for transcos;
- Adjustments to book value for transco sales/purchases;
- Accelerated depreciation;
- Deferred cost recovery for utilities with retail rate freezes; and
- A higher rate of return on equity for utilities that join and/or continue to be members of transmission organizations, such as (but not limited to) regional transmission organizations and independent system operators.
All rates approved under the rules are subject to Federal Power Act rate filing standards. The rule allows utilities on a case-by-case basis to select and justify the package of incentives needed to support new investment. Additionally, the rule provides expedited procedures for the approval of incentives to provide utilities greater regulatory certainty and facilitate the financing of projects. The rule became effective on September 29, 2006.

Andy Pettitte was supposed to be the prosecution's star witness at the perjury trial of Roger Clemens. According to the Los Angeles Times, Pettitte was the only person expected to say under oath that Clemens had used human growth hormone other than Clemens's former trainer, Brian McNamee. But when Pettitte showed up for today's hearing, he noticed the Clemens camp had brought in Pettitte's brother, who speaks no English, all the way from Sicily.
No, wait. That's from a scene in The Godfather, Part II. But except the part about the brother, Pettitte's performance could have come straight from the movie script. The Los Angeles Times reported that it left the prosecution's case in "disarray":
Is it possible, asked Clemens lawyer Mike Attanasio, that Pettitte misunderstood the critical conversation?
"I could have," was Pettitte's reply.
Attanasio then asked Pettitte if he only had 50-50 confidence in his memory.
"That's fair," he said.
Clemens has long maintained that Pettitte must have misremembered the conversation.
For the record, Pettitte did not testify that he had been in the olive oil business with Clemens. Just that it was a long time ago.
Update (6:20 p.m.): Craig Calcaterra over HardballTalk has noted that Pettitte also told Congress in 2008 he may have misunderstood what Clemens told him, which makes Pettitte's testimony today consistent with what he has previously said under oath. If the case is indeed in "disarray," it appears to be because the prosecution called Pettitte to the stand in the first place.
