Kevin reportedly has yet another new cap. This time he was seen at the Old Vic stage door wearing a green cap.
If the fan who sent me the review of last night's performance of National Anthems would be kind enough to send me the end of their fan review, I'd appreciate it. The form had a text limit and it cut off the end of your review. I added what was there though, to the NA fan reviews page.

Oooh. Amazon.com is showing new Beyond The Sea DVD info today. Instead of the Darin info and the interview with Bobby Darin's manager, they list "exclusive bonus musical performances by Kevin Spacey." That sounds intriguing, doesn't it? I wonder which musical numbers those will be?
BTW – On MTV last night, they said that Kevin's Superman Returns film will be in theaters on June 30, 2006.
April 22, 2005
Another DVD I've just read that Swimming With Sharks is going to be re-released on DVD on June 7 (the same day Beyond The Sea comes out on DVD) and it is going to be a souped up special edition that includes these extras, according to dvdempire.com:
Kevin Spacey Commentary Director Commentary Director with Cast and Crew Commentary A Look Back at Swimming With Sharks – 10th Anniversary "Let's Do Lunch" Featurette Shark Tales: Real-Life Stories from Industry Assistants Deleted Scenes
Amazon is also taking pre-release orders. Big thanks to Dawn M.
Whatever happened to Edison? The new issue of Entertainment Weekly is their Summer Movie issue and unless I missed it somewhere, Edison wasn't listed for release between now and the end of August. What happened to their Spring release?
April 21, 2005
Spacey fan Jen (UK) tells me that Beyond The Sea's DVD has entered the UK charts at #9.
Spacey fan Jen and Spacey fan Sue also tell me that the UK DVD has a directors commentary and a "making of" featurette.

Stop the presses! Kevin Spacey doesn't have a new cap. He has TWO new caps! He's recently been seen at the Old Vic stage door in a yellow cap, worn backwards, and a dark blue flat cap, worn properly. His old newsboy cap must have spontaneously combusted or something. I guess we're not going to have to put the new hat plan in place after all. Thanks to Marie.
Pictures of Kevin in the new blue cap are on the Old Vic news page. Thanks to Kudzu.
You know, he should auction off the old newsboy cap. He could probably make a few dollars on that! His fans have sure been talking about it enough to spark interest in owning it.
April 18, 2005
Breaking Spacey News! Rumor has it that Kevin has found himself a new hat to wear at the stage door of the Old Vic. More later. Thanks, Jen.
Kevin really does need to do a new interview or something.

From today's London Times
ITV plans long night of party politics
By Adam Sherwin, Media Reporter
CELEBRITIES are jockeying for an invitation to join the actor Kevin Spacey on a Thames cruiser at the hottest party on election night.
More than 200 guests will crowd on to the Silver Sturgeon party boat for champagne and canapés into the early hours of May 6 as the results are televised on giant screens.
Sir Richard Branson, Lord Saatchi and Sir Tim Rice will join figures from the world of politics, business and entertainment at the bash, which is being organised by ITV News to spice up its results show.
The boat will be moored at the Waterloo Millennium pier beneath the London Eye and in the shadow of the Houses of Parliament. Guests will take a spin on the London Eye, also hired by ITV for the night, and be interviewed live by the party's hosts, Katie Derham and Mark Austin.
Baroness Amos, leader of the House of Lords, and Lord Sainsbury of Turville, Minister for Science, will represent Labour. Others expected to attend include Germaine Greer and Ian Hislop, Editor of Private Eye. Spacey will join the party after appearing in The Philadelphia Story at the Old Vic.
Viewers will see a night of informed political analysis, ITV said. "It's not just a party," a spokesman said. "All the guests have an interest in politics and their reactions will be a key part of our programme."
Labour acolytes, meanwhile, are searching for an uninhibited celebration venue should Mr Blair be re-elected. Conservatives, scarred by nights of Central Office misery, have retreated into Westminster's network of right-leaning think-tanks to watch the results and plot.
Thanks to Cathie.
*The Guardian says he was invited but hasn't accepted.
April 11, 2005
I'd post a few things but my nose is red and itchy, my eyes are watering and I wish I could go back to bed. Maybe I'll add something tonight.
If you haven't seen National Anthems, time is running out. It will end it's run at the end of next week. Then it's on to The Philadelphia Story in 3 weeks.
April 5, 2005
Is Kevin some kind of fashion trendsetter?? You know that hat that seems to be glued to Kevin's head right now? If you've ever wanted to look like Kevin, only more feminine, Target is selling hats which look very similar to his only they are of a lightweight fabric and come in summer colors. They're called newsboy caps and were in with the summer hats and purses.
Target also had a big stack of The Usual Suspects DVDs that were marked as special editions. It said on the front that the DVD includes deleted scenes. It looked like the special edition DVD that was out a few years ago but I don't remember any deleted scenes.
One of these days I'm going to have get to work on the Superman Returns section.
April 1, 2005
At the end of the month I'll be moving all the news from January – April to a new page in the archives and will start over on this page with news for May – August.
Kevin can't catch a break in the UK
How did this get past me? One of the UK fans sent me a news item from one of the London gossip rags in which Kevin is accused of standing up a group of fans who "won" him in an Old Vic fundraiser drawing. Apparently he was supposed to play tennis with them one morning but never showed up. One of the women was quoted as saying they went out and bought new tennis outfits and now they all felt like old maids waiting for a date who never arrived. Ouch!
Here's the link to the full story – Daily Mirror
March 31, 2005
This is a first. There's going to be a demonstration in front of the Old Vic Theatre tonight and it's not a group of Spacey-slamming theatre critics. More on the Old Vic News page.
Does Kevin look a little bit over-airbrushed on that BTS DVD cover? Where are the wrinkles and eye bags his fans love so much?
March 29, 2005
The picture to the right is of the BTS DVD cover. Thanks to Jim.
March 26, 2005
Someone tells me that while we in the US have to wait until June for the BTS DVD, the Region 2 version can be pre-ordered now at Amazon.co.uk for an April 18 release date. Thank you mysterious someone.
And I'm also told that the US version (Region 1) will include these "extras": Director & Producer Commentary, "Making of" Featurette, Interviews with Cast and Crew. Plus "Remembering Bobby" an interview with Bobby's manager, Steve Blauner. Authentic Archival footage direct from the Bobby Darin estate. Trailers. Will retail for approximately $28 although we know we'll be able to find it cheaper! Thanks to HC.
Umm .. correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Kevin say in an interview that there were going to be deleted scenes added to the DVD? Musical numbers they were unable or unwilling to add to the finished theatrical release? Well?
Please don't throw anything at me but I might as well break it to everyone now. It was confirmed to a Spacey/Darin fan that no concert footage was filmed for a concert DVD or anything like that so there will be no concert DVD. Should I also mention now that the previously mentioned potential late 2005 concert tour isn't being discussed now due to Kevin Spacey's busy schedule?
And here we were hoping for the 'Kevin Spacey"s Ring-a-Ding Christmas 2005' in Atlantic City. I guess this means he won't have time to record that Christmas album everyone was talking about back in December either. If they only knew how many emails I've had from hopeful fans!
March 23, 2005
Digitalbits.com says Beyond The Sea will be available on DVD on June 7. Thanks Carla.

Oh no! Kevin's elevator is on the move again and he's not the one sending it back down.
Send The Elevator Back Down by Gregory E. Favre
March 21, 2005
Picture #1 – Grimy, dusty star. Picture #2 – Bright, shiny, freshly scrubbed star thanks to Spacey fan Jen.
As Spacey fans, we have sometimes been called upon to witness things that have left us with emotional scars (insert the name of any number of films). But I will not be the one to inflict on devoted Spacey fans worldwide, the sight of Kevin Spacey arriving at the 2005 Directors Guild of Great Britain Awards wearing lovely evening wear with .. a baseball cap? I'm going to say baseball cap because that doesn't sound as bad as trucker hat.
You'll just have to go look at the thumbnails at Wireimage.com yourself.
Are you cracking up or something, Kevin? We could always count on you to dress appropriately for these occasions. If you're trying to sell TS.com hats (TS.com trucker hat available for only $16.99 at the new TS.com store at triggerstreet.com) wouldn't it be easier to set up a cart in front of the Old Vic?
Speaking of the Old Vic, Spacey fan Cathie mentioned this tidbit to me. From the Telegraph (UK) on March 10:
Nosmo King
Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey is used to star treatment. But one officious health and safety expert is determined that Spacey – the artistic director of the Old Vic – should toe the line.
"The health and safety team has given several talks to the crew at the Old Vic," I'm told. "All the smokers – including Spacey – have been told that smoking is completely banned off-stage. The Old Vic is a listed building and if anything were to happen, it wouldn't stand a chance."
But it appears that A-list hearing is selective. "Spacey has not taken any notice and remains defiant. It's pretty hard telling Hollywood stars what they can and can't do."
March 19, 2005
One of Kevin's fans was on vacation in Los Angeles and decided to go see Kevin's star on the sidewalk in front of the Kodak Theater. To her great dismay, the star looked as if people had been walking on it! So she did what any self-respecting Spacey fan would do in that situation. She got out her bottle of travel-sized star cleaner and went to work.
The guys with the cameras were from London and wondered what she was doing. Hats off to Jen for doing her fanly duty and to her friend Cathy for immortalizing the work with her camera.

I was too busy and way too tired to make a new picture for St. Patrick's Day this year, so I'm sending recycled greetings out this year.

Not much going on as you can see. I've added a few items to the Old Vic News page. Link above.
Answer to an anonymous "burning question" feedback question: How would *I* know if Kevin Spacey shaves his toes?
March 3, 2005
I never thought I'd see *this* day. Kevin Spacey being compared in a movie review with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vin Diesel and Kevin coming out as being inferior. This taken from a review in the Clarion-Ledger of 'The Pacifier' the new movie about a male nanny:
Working with kids can bring out the phony in an actor (Arnold Schwarzenegger in Cop, Kevin Spacey in The Life of David Gale) or it can loosen him up, forcing him to deal with messy, unexpected humanity. The latter happens with Diesel.
Wasn't it bad enough that his public singing is constantly compared to that of William Shatner and then a few years ago a critic compared him to Adam Sandler and felt Sandler was the better of the two? Now he's not as good as Vin Diesel?
March 1, 2005
Apparently, Kevin is going to be one of the scheduled guests at a star-studded tsunami relief fundraiser at the Theatre Royal Haymarket later in the month. *Guest list subject to change. 'One Knight Only – A Gala Evening in aid of Tsunami Relief' – March 20th at 7pm.
February 28, 2005
Who do you email to complain about the Oscar telecast last night? What about forcing some of the nominees to be herded out on to the stage in groups to find out who won like they were in the last round of the Miss America pageant? I kept waiting for the swimsuit competition. And whoever came up with the horrid idea of handing out awards in the audience… that was awful for both the nominees and the presenters. Am I the only person who actually enjoys seeing the people who aren't in the "star" categories?
In the paper this morning there was an article about actors who direct and actors who direct themselves. It was a mostly positive article. But I didn't see Kevin's name anywhere. That came in the next article in the paper about actors giving voice to real people in the movies this year. This was where they took the opportunity to take a swipe at Beyond The Sea *and* Kevin *and* his singing.
February 26, 2005
Some of Kevin's Japanese fans have told me that there have been some good reviews in the papers. The film is in a limited release as it is here in the US.
February 23, 2005
Beyond The Sea is opening in Japan this week. So far the critics seem to think the film is nothing but Kevin Spacey's raging ego disguised as a movie. They don't like his constantly being front and center, all the close-ups, the singing and more singing and one guy even mentioned how Kevin just wouldn't shut up and the movie went on for 2 songs too long.
All I can say is, after being tortured by American Beauty, Pay It Forward, The Shipping News and The Life of David Gale, Kevin's fans deserved a movie that gave us what we wanted for once. Nothin' but Kevin! Whether you loved the movie or hated it, I think most Spacey fans agreed that it was about as much Spacey as you could cram into one movie. And it had singing!

There has finally been a co-star named for The Philadelphia Story. More about that on the Old Vic News page.

Question Celebrity with Hank Stuever
Q: Why are performances like Jamie Foxx's as Ray Charles, Julia Roberts's as Erin Brockovich, Kevin Spacey's as Bobby Darin and Charlize Theron's as serial killer Aileen Wuornos heralded as great acting? Aren't they just big-budget impersonations?
Arthur Kalemeris, Fairfax
A: Your Oscar-time cynicism about biopics is laudable, especially when it steers you away from seeing bad movies that overplay the gravitas and overapply the prosthetics.
That said, the sweet spot between truth and fiction tends to bring out the best in the film industry, I think, given the sorry state of make-believe: Screenwriters tend to do better work adapting true stories, directors adhere to clearer themes, actors get to risk being laughed off the planet. (And meddling studio heads can't order up happier endings.) The concept of "true" — even Hollywood's definition of it — tends to be more . . . true.
Also there's an irresistible degree of risk that appeals to the actor's estimation of himself: Can he pull it off? Even if he's 10 years too old and doesn't look a thing like (fill in the blank, but please, do not fill it with Spacey's floparific obsession with writing, directing and starring in his Darin project, "Beyond the Sea"). Stars view the biopic as the surest way to get their serious-artist credentials validated (or re-upped), which, if all goes according to plan, spells "Oscar nomination." Actors who play well-known people usually deflect the "impersonation" issue with the standard artistic statement: At some point, I had to make it my own. If impersonation alone were the only qualification for great acting, there would be a lot more Oscars on the shelves of "Saturday Night Live" alumni. Martin Short, therefore, would have been Katharine Hepburn in "The Aviator," instead of the coolly brilliant Cate Blanchett.

Floparific?? Now Kevin's inspiring additions to the English language.
He's also in the new Premiere.
Critics' Choice – The nation's top critics rate the most noteworthy films of 2004.
#76 – Beyond The Sea. Five critics rate it 2 stars (Recommended). Five critics gave it 1 star (not recommended) and one critic gave it a rating of a blank star (A Must to Avoid).
And on another page, about the nominees for the Oscar this year, Janet Maslin has this to say:
Kevin Spacey's Bobby Darin – a thing of beauty, by the way, in the exuberant and sorely underrated film Beyond the Sea – fell prey to the subject's regrettable unfamiliarity to younger viewers and the acquired-taste limitations of hipster Darinmania. (Page 71)
February 15, 2005

Most of the latest news is about National Anthems and is on the Old Vic News page.
February 5, 2005
Ok.. try to stay calm Spacey fans.. take a deep breath.. now remember, it's only a "may be" in a magazine article but.. I got this in an email from Spacey/Darin fan Monica:
"Roger Kellaway, pianist for Darin/Spacey tour, was featured in the March 2005 Issue of Down Beat magazine (pages 13-14). He stated that there may be another tour later this year!"
I'm not sure we could handle the excitement again, but I'd be willing to give it a try, wouldn't you? Bring it on, Kevin! Maybe you could throw in some swingin' Christmas tunes. And here's a nice idea .. instead of sending out autographed pictures in response to fan mail, you could mail out autographed cocktail napkins! Sounds cool, huh?
And for you fans in the UK, Spacey fan Vivienne sends this: National Anthems will be reviewed on Newsnight Review next Friday on BBC2 at about 10.30 pm.
Thanks to Monica and Vivienne.
February 3, 2005
The Big Show Kevin has several mentions in a new book about the Oscars, titled The Big Show – High Times and Dirty Dealings Backstage At The Academy Awards. In addition to the blurb about him getting Julia Roberts some champagne, that was reported in some news items last week, there is this blurb on page 306 about actors needing to be in their seats at a certain time before the show started and one who wasn't seated:
Staffers were not surprised to learn who the latecomer was. The day before, a few crew members had flipped a coin to see who'd be saddled with escorting the three most demanding stars: Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Spacey. But coming up fast on that list was Russell Crowe.
Nowhere does it say why Kevin is as demanding as Streisand or Jennifer Lopez!
Beyond The Sea will open at the Berlin Film Festival on February 13. Thanks to Marina. A few articles have mentioned that Kevin will be on the red carpet and coincidentally, that's a Sunday and there are no productions of National Anthems on Sundays.
February 1, 2005
VideoDetective.com's VHS/DVD Release Calendar says that Beyond The Sea will be released on home video on May 1. No word on the extras it better have on it, though! Big thanks to Vivian.
January 31, 2005
While looking around Barnesandnoble.com for anything new that might be Spacey related, on the page for Beyond The Sea's soundtrack, there was link for other CDs that have the words "Kevin Spacey" on them. There was the soundtrack for MGGE (track #7 – 'That Old Black Magic' which Kevin apparently didn't care for but his fans did and for which they have an audio snippet available). Then there was a song called 'Song For a Kevin Spacey Movie' on a Bicycle Thief album. A song called 'Kevin Spacey' on a Drop album. And what has me perplexed is a Help Yourself album that lists Kevin Spacey as a drummer? If you click on the name it takes you back to the Beyond The Sea soundtrack. Any Help Yourself fans out there who can clear that up?
January 30, 2005
I snipped this next bit from a satire piece at Deadbrain.com. Kevin was winning their survey earlier this morning.
Another Celebrity Sperm Bank Closes After Performance Failure
According to Merrill Lynch market analyst Keyser Soze, "The only boutique sperm bank not swimming against the tide is Kevin Spacey's Kids. Like Kevin, the babies have no distinguishing characteristics and are, therefore, unlikely to require special care or feeding. They can be difficult to pick out in a crowd, however."

Kevin's Golden Globes cufflinks and tie pin which were up for auction on eBay, ended at $1876 for the cufflinks and $915 for the tie pin. Proceeds of the auction are going to UNICEF's 2004 Tsunami Relief Fund.
January 26, 2005
Since Kevin didn't get any Oscar nominations this time around, I thought an Oscar movie chat might be in order. And since he's only won two Oscars and I'd rather sit through Pay It Forward without a Coke, some nachos and a bag of candy corn than to watch that tiresome American Beauty, that leaves The Usual Suspects. We can watch the film, discuss the technical aspects of the film, and talk about how much we like Verbal's shirts (I personally think the shirts are Big Clue #1). Chat room, Saturday night at 9pm EST. The movie will start promptly at 9:10. *Due to several requests from the UK, there will be a special noon chat as well. That will be 12pm EST on Saturday which makes it .. um .. 5pm in the UK? Everyone is welcome, whether you're in the UK or not.

The picture to the right is one of the photos in the Player magazine that used to be featured as the News page photo. I've added the article and the previous photo to the Beyond The Sea Articles page as well as the Best Life article. Links can also be found on the main Articles/Interviews page. You have to scroll down that page to find the new articles.
Poor Kevin .. remember when the one writer called him Kevin Kline and then another said his film was the Bobby Darin biopic "A Love Song For Bobby Long?" Well, yesterday I read another article in which it said his movie was "Under The Sea" which if I remember correctly was a song from The Little Mermaid. Maybe he should have called it "Don't Rain On My Parade."
Academy Award Nominations No Oscar nominations for Kevin or Beyond The Sea this morning.
January 24, 2005
Last night when I was doing a search for any new and interesting Kevin Spacey news tidbits at Yahoo, to my alarm Yahoo's search engine suggested that I might also want to try 'Kevin Spacey dead' or 'Kevin Spacey died.' It usually just suggests that I might want to also click on 'Kevin Spacey gay' so I was more than a little surprised!
I can share with you all that Kevin's apparently still with us. The links just took me to BTS articles and reviews. Had me worried there for a minute!
Tickets to The Philadelphia Story at the Old Vic Theatre in London are on sale for the general public now but they still haven't announced any of the cast members aside from Kevin.

I have a warning for anyone who ever receives an email from me. Someone has received an email with my site's mail addy as the reply address and it contained an attachment with a virus *BUT* I never sent the email and never send attachments to anyone unless they were specifically expecting one from me and that's not very often. If you aren't expecting something with an attachment from me, don't open it.
And whoever did that in the first place, it didn't cause any real trouble so you went to the effort for nothin'. Have you considered getting a hobby to occupy your time in a more constructive manner?

Spacey Poll Due to the snow outside and my wishing I had a piece of chocolate cake, the Frozen Spacey poll is making a return engagement.
Spacey auction Are you a Spacey fan with a couple of dollars sitting around waiting to be used for a needy cause? Okay, make that more than a few dollars. The cufflinks and tie pin that he wore to the Golden Globes the other evening, are now up for auction on eBay. The auction has just under 10 days to go and the proceeds will go to UNICEF for their tsunami relief efforts.
The cufflinks come with an autographed gift box and an autographed 'Mia & Kompany' jewelry pouch. The tie pin comes with an autographed jewelry pouch.
January 17, 2005
Last night, Kevin wore a diamond star pin and matching cufflinks by Mia & Kompany which will be auctioned off on ebay on Wednesday, January 19th.
The Stila star jewelry worn by Kevin at the Golden Globes:
* KEVIN SPACEY: pave star cufflinks – Because diamonds can be a guy's best friend too, Kevin wore star-shaped, 14kt white gold cufflinks with a total carat weight of .44. Kevin was a Golden Globe nominee for Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical or Comedy. One hundred percent of proceeds from the eBay auction of the cuff links will go to UNICEF for tsunami relief. Cufflinks * KEVIN SPACEY: large pave star tie pin – This piece features a .15 carat diamond on a 14kt white gold pin. One hundred percent of proceeds from the eBay auction of the piece will go to UNICEF for tsunami relief. Tie pin Full press link
If you missed the Golden Globes last night and still want to watch the show, Bravo will be repeating the telecast on Saturday night at 8pm EST.
January 15, 2005
The Tsunami Aid concert is going to be shown internationally this evening. Check your TV listings to see if you're going to receive it. It starts at 8pm EST which I think is 5 hours behind London so that means that in other countries… you do the math!
Apparently instead of having a poll asking fans which concert they attended, I should have had a poll asking fans how many times their Spacey TV was pre-empted during the BTS press tour. People In The News was pre-empted on CNN today for some viewers. Fortunately, it's going to be on again and again this weekend. *He was pre-empted for a breaking news announcement during the 5:30pm showing too!
And the oft-rescheduled Larry King with Kevin, Dodd Darin, Steve Blauner and Peter Cincotti is being repeated this evening at 9pm EST. Thanks to Kaye and HC.
January 14, 2005
Spacey TV A&E is going to show a Biography episode about Kevin. I guess it's the one that was shown on the Biography Channel in the UK a while back. Friday, January 21 at 12pm EST. Repeats at 6pm. Thanks to Sarah and Marina.
Random meaningless thought .. I knew I should have bought the tuxedo w/microphone and super hero costumes for KevieBear when I had the chance.
January 12, 2005 I've read that NBC is going to stretch the Tsunami Aid fundraiser to 2 hours. That will be live at 8pm EST and tape-delayed on the west coast so it will start at 8pm there.
January 11, 2005
From Sci-Fi Wire – NBC announced a partial lineup of entertainers for its upcoming fund-raising telethon for victims of the South Asia tsunami, which will also air on SCI FI Channel, and designated the American Red Cross as its charity partner.

Palm Springs There are some nice thumbnails of Kevin at last night's Palm Spring's International Film Festival Awards Gala at Wireimage.com. Do a celebrity search for Kevin Spacey. there are also some nice shots of him and Kate Bosworth at the BTS premiere in New York City last month.
Berlinale Beyond The Sea will be at the Berlin Film Festival next month. It will be in the Panorama section of the festival. Here's a snip from a press release –
Panorama Turns 20 – The Berlinale's Panorama section announces its first films
20 years Panorama – they mean two decades of arthouse programme: innovative and individual auteur films, as well as the latest works of well-known directors and extraordinary films by newcomers. By screening international independent films, this section has developed its own profile alongside the Competition in the Official Programme. The Panorama initially emerged from the Info-Schau, which was established to complement the Competition in the 1970s. Manfred Salzgeber went on to give the section its very content-oriented format in 1985: a program of unusual breadth, exploring social issues and penetrating diverse life scripts, countries and themes. "We want to pursue social processes with our programme", explains Wieland Speck, head of Panorama since 1992. "For us it's about finding films that push forward exactly what is currently happening in society's niches and at its fringes." <snip>
Thanks to Marina.

I've finally started the Aladdin section (Ok, so the show is almost over. Beyond The Sea and all of the concert stuff put me waaay behind.) as well as having pages started for National Anthems and The Philadelphia Story.
There's some exciting news about The Philadelphia Story on the Old Vic news page too!
It looks official. Kevin will be the new Lex Luthor in the next Superman film. The film will be directed by Usual Suspects director Bryan Singer. Beyond The Sea co-star Kate Bosworth is apparently to sign on for the Lois Lane role. Clark Kent/Superman will be portrayed by newcomer Brandon Routh.

Now this is funny! I saw Beyond The Sea with my mother. As we walked back to the car, she made a comment that she felt the movie was almost like a musical stage production. That she could see Kevin doing that on the stage and maybe that was his real goal. I joked that yes, I can see the headlines now. KEVIN SPACEY IN BEYOND THE SEA: THE MUSICAL! APPEARING NIGHTLY AT THE OLD VIC STARTING IN SEPTEMBER!
Well… UK Spacey fan Joanna sends me this from today's Daily Mail –
"Not content with writing, directing and starring in the Bobby Darin biopic Beyond the Sea, Kevin Spacey wants to turn the film into a musical and stage it at the Old Vic. He told a chum: 'It has been so well received you have to ask: "Why not turn it into a stage musical?" I like the idea of keeping Bobby's memory alive'.
January 5, 2005
Anyone want to stop by the chat room on Saturday night and talk about Beyond The Sea? 9pm EST.
January 4, 2005
This is for new fans of Kevin's singing who have been reading about Kevin's concert tour in the past week or so or are hearing about it on TV such as the Larry King show. The Spacey concert tour of 2004 has ended. For fans who missed it, there are reviews and stories by other fans as well as photos taken by fans in the Beyond The Sea section of the site (the second one is my own short version of the Atlantic City concert).
In the new issue of Premiere (February 2005) you will find a full page awards consideration ad for Kevin and others in Beyond The Sea on page 41, picture only has Kevin and is also an ad for the film. There are two small pictures from The Usual Suspects on pages 4 and 5 in ad for the IFC channel if you're trying to fill in pages in a scrapbook and on page 90, you will find a picture of Kevin (cover photo from that Maxim Fashion 2001/02 magazine from a few years ago) and the following text:
Passion Players – Premiere Celebrates The Most Compelling Performances of 2004.
Kevin Spacey
Who are your idols? Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, and Jason Robards.
Describe your character in this movie. Bobby Darin was one of the greatest entertainers we've ever had. He gave his all, even when he was sick as a dog. He may have had a weak heart physically, but he was all heart.
Why did you take this part? I love the music. I loved him as a performer, and I'm sad about the fact that his legacy is not as strong as it should be.
How did you prepare? Endlessly watching Bobby. We created this little nightclub on a sound-stage where I had mirrors and a big huge computer screen hanging. I could punch up any performance of Bobby's that I wanted.
If you weren't acting, you would be …? My father was a writer, and I admire the craft of writing more than anything. This is the first experience where I've ever written in any kind of significant way.
January 3, 2005
If you're in the WMAR-TV Channel 2 viewing area (A Washington DC station) They're apparently going to re-play the Jane Pauley show that was pre-empted by Bush at 10am this morning. Someone saw a commercial on TV. *They didn't show it, but that's just as well since it was pre-empted again.
Don't forget about the Tony Danza show too!
I think Kevin needs to start doing some kind of PR for Beyond The Sea so that people will know he's connected to it. The other day, a writer said that Kevin Kline was nominated for a Golden Globe for the Bobby Darin biopic Beyond The Sea and now this from rediff.com in an article about how well films did over the weekend and how small budget films might do well over the coming weeks:
The Kevin Spacey directed A Love Song For Bobby Long, a screen bio of musician Bobby Darin (played by Spacey) is another. It jumped from a handful of theatres to 320 over the weekend and grossed an impressive $1 million. Its real test will come when it goes for a couple of expansions. The Shakespearean drama The Merchant Of Venice, starring Al Pacino as Shylock, will also expand to hundreds of theatres in coming weeks.
More Spacey confusion There seem to be 2 magazines with Player in the title and Kevin on the cover. The one I have is called Avery Cardoza's Player, although only Player is large enough to read. Kevin's issue is not online yet. The other magazine is called Casino Player. I've only seen the first magazine. *There are 3 magazines! The third is simply called Player magazine and doesn't have anything to do with Kevin either inside the magazine or out. I'm sure Kevin's fans can tell the difference between Kevin Spacey and a bimbo-ish woman on a magazine cover so I don't have to tell you which magazine to pick up, do I?
Also, the Vegas magazine with Kevin in it has Carmen Electra on the cover. Thanks to Monica.
January 2, 2005
I've heard that during Monday night's concert in Las Vegas, a woman tossed lacy black panties at Kevin's feet during one song. Kevin, the true professional singer that he is, reportedly didn't react. Too bad there aren't any pictures of *that* night! Thanks to Veronica for the eye-witness account.
In one of the many interviews he's done for Beyond The Sea, Kevin made a comment somewhere along the lines of he won't do another album or anything unless there's a good reason. Does this mean he'll be recording with Justin Timberlake to promote Edison?
January 1, 2005
Who has any taping strength left? I've just heard that Kevin is going to be a guest on The Tony Danza Show on Monday, January 3. Thanks to Jennifer and Linda.
New concert mini-poll After the party's over.

There's a reason why xterm's man page contains the following, you know... -fa pattern This option sets the pattern for fonts selected from the FreeType library if support for that library was compiled into xterm. This corresponds to the faceName resource. When a CJK double-width font is specified, you also need to turn on the cjkWidth resource. faceName (class FaceName) Specify the pattern for fonts selected from the FreeType library if support for that library was compiled into xterm. There is no default. If not specified, or if there is no match for both normal and bold fonts, xterm uses the font and related resources.

Your toddler is fast approaching their second birthday. Find out about toilet training, disturbed nights, independence and how to put on a birthday party for a two-year-old.
How they grow
It is much better for your child's teeth and her general health to give her low-sugar snacks such as fruit, cheese and vegetables. Avoid high-sugar, high-fat snacks such as muesli and fruit bars, chips or anything sticky and chewy. You should still be cleaning your toddler's teeth for her, but you may need two toothbrushes so she can also give it a try. Children under the age of two don't need toothpaste and you shouldn't use it. However, your toddler may not understand this, especially when she sees you using toothpaste. So, it is important to teach her to spit the toothpaste out, not swallow it and not swish it around her mouth.
Remember that children grow at their own pace-they don't follow the books or lists of developmental milestones. By the time she is two, the child who was born prematurely is likely to have 'caught up' with children who were born full-term.
Your child's vocabulary is likely to be growing by the day. At age two, some toddlers know several words, though their speech may not always be intelligible to those outside the family. By his second birthday, your toddler will be able to say his own name and ask for things he wants, such as "cake" and "milk". His sentences will be very simple, often just two or three words like "Mummy sit" or "No more". By now your toddler will be well into practising speech patterns and he will copy your tone and your speech patterns. Quite enlightening at times!
Moving along
Every day is an adventure for your toddler as she learns more about her world and develops new skills. Over the next three months she needs to be given opportunities to learn about jumping, kicking a ball, putting on and taking off her own clothes, brushing her own teeth, and washing and drying her hands.
If at any time you are concerned that your child may have a problem it is reassuring to seek expert advice from your doctor or your local child health centre.
Toilet training
Most toddlers are not physically or mentally ready to use the toilet instead of nappies until around their second birthday, though some may have shown interest a couple of months earlier. If you attempt to toilet train your toddler before he is ready you'll probably just end up training yourself to anticipate his bodily functions! Waiting until your child is ready makes the whole process so much easier. Often children with older brothers and sisters will learn very quickly and girls are often ready before boys. Warm weather makes the whole process much easier for everyone than cold or rainy days. Bladder control usually comes before bowel control and daytime toiletting comes well before night time control. In fact, it is not necessary to seek help for bedwetting issues until around the age of seven or eight.
A child is ready to use the toilet or potty when:
- He knows he wants to do a wee or poo and he can hold on for a short time.
- He tells you he is going or that he has just gone.
- He watches others going to the toilet and takes an interest in what is happening.
- He can pull his pants up and down.
- His nappies have been dry for a couple of hours.
- He tells you his nappy is wet and that he doesn't like it.
It's up to you whether you use a potty or a toilet seat, whether you take the potty with you when you go out, whether you use trainer pants or simply pants that are easy to pull up and down. There are no right and wrong ways to introduce a child to using a toilet. But it is very important that as soon as your child starts using the toilet you impress upon her that she must wash her hands with soap and water after every visit. Make sure she does it every time. Of course, it is also important that she sees you-and other members of the family-washing their hands when they use the toilet.

If at any time you are concerned that your child may have a problem it is reassuring to seek expert advice from your doctor or your local child health centre.
Sleep: Disturbed nights
Waking at night is a natural part of sleep for all of us-including little ones. Toddlers naturally surface from deep sleep about five times during the night. They might turn over, mumble or grunt, even open their eyes and move about before falling back to sleep. A toddler who wakes in a strange environment may stay awake because she is frightened. You and your toddler will sleep better if you establish a regular bedtime routine, put her to sleep in a familiar environment and comfort her quickly and quietly if she calls out for you.
If your toddler starts to wake frequently at night after being a good sleeper then you need to look for a reason. Controlled crying and similar methods are not going to lead to peaceful nights if there is an underlying problem. If there are any signs of illness such as abdominal pains or an ear infection (often indicated by a yellowish discharge from the ear) then take your child to the doctor for a checkup. The other common problem is pinworms or threadworms. A child who wakes at night with scratch marks around her anus is likely to have pinworms. Adults as well as children can have pinworms and they can survive on bedding for up to two weeks. They don't live in cats and dogs. If you suspect pinworms then see your doctor and start a course of treatment as soon as possible.
Every day caring
Dressing and undressing
Your little one is quite capable of getting himself dressed and will enjoy being so independent. If he is not already putting on his own shirt and pants, then take the time to teach him now; it will save you a lot of time in the long-run. He'll be slow at first, so plan ahead so that you are not impatient or late!
As soon as he able to stand on one leg without falling over he is ready to put on pants. You will still be needed because it is quite common for a toddler to get his arms into his top but not be able to get his head through! Sometimes he will get tangled up - he may put his head through the armhole or is arm through the neck and you will need to come to the rescue.
You can make it easier by:
- Showing him that the clothing labels go to the back.
- Choosing clothes that are easy to put on; buttons, snaps, laces and zippers make clothes more difficult.
- Choosing together what he will wear next day.
Waking at night is a natural part of sleep for all of us-including little ones.
Your toddler is also quite capable of washing himself; under your supervision of course. He can wash himself with a small wash mitt or cloth then rinse off the soap with a plastic cup-clean and fun!
Playtime - The second birthday
This year you might want to give your toddler a real birthday party, but be realistic. The biggest trap birthday parents can fall into is expecting too much. It's only natural that you want to make your child happy on her special day; you want to give her a wonderful celebration. But, two-year-olds don't need a big production. Jumping castles or your own backyard; clowns that do tricks or mum and dad doing something silly; hamburgers at a family restaurant or food on the table in your family room-it's all the same to them. Having friends around and being the centre of attention are enough at this age. It is easier for everyone if you invite parents to your child's party and best to do the invitations by phone. If you send emails or written invitations you will probably have to follow-up by phone anyway.
Two hours is plenty of time for two year-olds. And early afternoon is a good choice because it leaves plenty of nap time for those who need it. You will probably need to serve more food if you have a late morning or lunchtime party. If you don't have room at your house, host the party at the park or the beach, but have a contingency plan in case it rains. The park gazebo is always good but you need to stake it out early in the day.
Here is a suggested party plan:
- Don't forget your camera and designate someone to take photos for you.
- Open the presents as soon as everyone has arrived.
- Next serve the food. Find a low table or put a tablecloth on the floor or ground. Little sausage rolls and pizza for lunch or small wraps if you are in the park. Ice creams and fresh fruit cut into pieces are perfect for dessert. Adults can eat the same food as the children. Drinks should be milk, juice or water and don't forget some cold drinks for the adults. Only offer hot drinks if you have a helper.
- Put on some of your child's favourite music (the Wiggles are always a popular start). Sing-along to the music and do the actions.
- Be ready with some games. Old favourites are ideal, such as Follow the Leader, Ring-a-Rosie, Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush, I'm a Little Teapot. Other popular games are finger games such as Incy-Wincy Spider, This Little Piggy and Put Your Finger on your Nose.
- Eat the birthday cake, then let the party-goers play for a while.
- Hand out party bags as each child leaves. These can be really simple for this age group. When you are choosing the contents do not include anything not suitable for under three year-olds. Pop two or three of the following treats in a brown paper bag with the child's name written on the outside in bright felt-tip pen: a little box of dried fruit, a large bell, a large pretzel, a paint brush and a paint with water book, a small pot of homemade play dough, a finger puppet, a plastic farm animal.
Birthday tears
Sometimes the birthday person seems to be unhappiest person at the party. Reasons why this can happen are:
- Too many children
- Other children playing with birthday person's toys
- Too much attention
- Too much confusion.

Wikipedia states that some of the symptoms of senioritis include:
slowness, procrastination, apathy regarding school work, a feeling of entitlement or privilege and a tendency toward truancy, increased drug use, malingering or feigning illness in order to avoid presence in a school setting, cognitive impairments, and changes in sleep patterns.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

I looked up this Ayn Rand person I keep seeing about , and she wasn't even a Economist!
Wiki says she was "was a Russian-American novelist, philosopher,[2] playwright, and screenwriter. She is known for her two best-selling novels and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Born and educated in Russia, Rand emigrated to the United States in 1926. She worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood and had a play produced on Broadway in 1935–1936. She first achieved fame in 1943 with her novel The Fountainhead, which in 1957 was followed by her best-known work, the philosophical novel Atlas Shrugged."
So this is just a person who just wrote novels???? And made movies in Hollywood??? And people think she knows something about financial systems??? Did she ever write anything about history and economy??? Or do any research into this stuff???
Oh this is funny, because a lot of people seem to think she knows what she is talking about on Economy stuff! Was she even good at math??? Wiki doesn't say.
OH, Tee Hee! Tee Hee!

I doubted the time would come again when I would teach a full sized class of my own. However, God works in mighty ways, and this past week I found myself facing rows of neon-clad teenagers as I tried to hide my shaking hands and put on my bravest face. It is no surprise that after a couple of years being removed from American education, I have had to hit the ground running, in the usual sprinting pace that this country is known for. My transition into teaching has been an emotional rollarcoaster, to say the least, as I've struggled to think through what really counts in a teacher. Do I focus on the standards? Should I use everyday as a preaching opportunity? Is my relationship with my students most important? Can I push my students to think outside their Christian school bubble? Is it possible to even do any of these things successfully, while still trying to maintain healthy relationships outside of work? I have had many defeatist moments the past couple of weeks, where I've really thought that I just can't do it. God must have something else for me. And I've felt more homesick for South Sudan than ever before. It is easy to start comparing life in the two different places, remembering all the good about the place I've left behind.
I may not have a lot of wisdom, but I do know that God has me in this difficult place for a reason. He is teaching me that He is all I need to get by in this world! That is never more apparent than in those moments when my body feels frozen in fear and my mind races down a million different rabbit holes, all ending up in miry despair. The wonderful thing about my God is that He doesn't just give me Himself (which should be good enough); He gives me so much more! I have the encouragement of the most loving and doting husband alive, who stubbornly fixes breakfast and lunch for me each morning, as I struggle to get out of bed. John has also been by my side when setting up my new classroom, when meeting students at back to school night, and when suffering through the pains of anxiety on the car ride to work everyday. I am blessed beyond belief to have such good natured and mild-mannered students, many of whom remind me of myself when I was a teen. I'm not going to say that they are perfect, but God has encouraged me with a good first week, and the added support of staff who are more than willing to sit down and pray with me when I need it. I am excited about the books my students and I will be reading this year. I am even more excited about the conversations we will get to have about the themes and lessons in these books. My mother-in-law suggested that I start up a "blessings journal," in which I record one good thing about the teaching day. I could list well over a dozen things from my first week of classes. As I sit and reflect on all the good things God gives me, I catch a drifting sentiment of excitement and joy in the unknown class moments I have ahead.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
-Philippians 4:13

According to the PMBOK, a Project Life Cycle has five phases which are as follows:
Initiating : The Initiating phase involves identifying what is needed to start the project successfully. In this phase, you need to develop a business case, a feasibility study, identify the team members, and setup the project.
Planning : During this phase, you need to develop a schedule, plan the resources, develop a budget, and acceptance criteria. During the planning phase, you must define the actions required to achieve the objectives for which the project was assigned.
Executing : During this phase, is when all the actions that were defined in the planning phase take form.
Monitoring and Controlling : During this phase, you must keep track of the deliverables for the project. As a team, you must determine what metrics must be in place to keep track of the project deliverables to make sure the project is complete on time and under budget.
Closing : During this phase, you must ensure that the objectives have been met. This is done by making sure that everything within the Acceptance Criteria set at the beginning is met. Keep in mind that the customer must sign off on the project for the project to be considered successful.

Neither Barcelona or Atletico Madrid were able to take advantage of Real Madrid dropping points at Villarreal as they drew 1-1 at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night.
Diego Simeone has still never beaten Barcelona in the league but he won't let that spoil his journey back to the Spanish capital. This 1-1 draw was Barca at times at their brilliant best but it was also Atletico telling the world they're not going anywhere either.
Simeone's team fell behind to a first half goal from Ivan Rakitic, but the game changed in the second half when Messi hobbled off and Angel Correa scored the equaliser. They might have taken all three points had Marc-Andre ter Stegen not tipped Diego Godin's header just over his bar late on.
In the end it was an unstoppable force against an immovable object – two clubs who will go the distance in this season's title race and on this evidence, take some beating in the Champions League too.
Barcelona's first chance fell to Messi whose shot from distance after a Neymar dribble was gathered safely by Jan Oblak. But home chances were few and far between because Atletico were so well positioned and so quick to every challenge. They were good on the break too and a Yannick Carrasco run and shot meant Ter Stegen had work to do.
Javier Mascherano made a vital interception to stop Kevin Gameiro meeting an Antoine Griezmann cross and even Andres Iniesta had to sprint 50 metres back to make a goal-saving clearance.
Iniesta was everywhere and would feature for the goal but the strike that broke the deadlock was to be a while in coming as Atletico's counter-attacking machine continued to purr in the first half.
Griezmann was at the heart of everything.
It is not difficult to see why clubs such as Chelsea would love to sign him. He was dropping off to link the play, using his pace to get in behind, and he even beat Gerard Pique in the air.
Barca were so frustrated by Atletico's exceptional defending that Iniesta was reduced to playing earlier diagonal balls into the box. Ironically enough, it was from one such longer pass that the goal came.
He picked out Rakitic's perfectly timed run and the Croatian international headed past Oblak and into the net.
Rakitic is very high up the queue for a new contract at Barcelona and this goal was another reminder of his huge worth to the team.
Coming just three minutes short of half time it was cruel on Simeone who had run up a sweat in, and often out of, his technical area. He had done his best to help his team maintain their impressive level of intensity but Rakitic's guile and Iniesta's perfect delivery had done for them.
The latter has now made at least one assist in each of the last 14 La Liga seasons and he continued his recital in the second half with a perfectly floated pass for Neymar to run onto as Barca sought their second goal.
When the next goal came on the hour it was not scored by Barcelona, however.
Fernando Torres and Correa had come on for the visitors and they combined for the equaliser. Torres provided the assist with a lovely drop of the shoulder that allowed the ball to run past Pique. Then there was a not so lovely drop of the shoulder from Mascherano as he slipped and went to ground allowing Correa to score.
The game had completely changed, and not just because of the goal.
Messi had limped off moments early to be replaced by former Atletico midfielder Arda Turan, this coming after Sergio Busquets had also left the field injured five minutes into the second half.
Barcelona had to find a second goal, and they had to do it without Messi going forward and without Busquets protecting the defence. A brilliant double-tackle from Pique prevented Carrasco getting away down the left and Neymar flashed a shot just wide as the clock ticked down with a slightly more nervous Atletico now picking up yellow cards.
Koke was cautioned for a foul on Luis Suarez and substitute Thomas followed him into the book for a foul on Neymar. From the free-kick that came from that second offence, Pique headed agonisingly wide.
With three minutes added time shown on the board, the Nou Camp groaned knowing the winner was unlikely to come. Simeone continued to duck and dive in his technical area, directing his defenders and willing his forwards on through the final seconds.
He remains winless here but he will have left feeling like a champion after taking what could be a precious point in the title race.
It's a race in which his team look like playing a full part.

Virgin Mobile's Broadand2Go prepaid 3G data plans use Sprint's network but don't require a two-year contract. The company has made headlines in the past for offering data plans priced competitively with the major carriers and is about to truly undercut all of them with a $40-per-month unlimited data plan that's set to go into effect tomorrow, according to Wired.
Most of the major carriers have moved to a 5GB limit on their most expensive plans, so a truly unlimited option from Virgin Mobile should entice plenty of data-hungry users. And the fact that it's $20 cheaper and doesn't require a contract ought to help, too.
Virgin's mid-tier Broadband2Go plans will be the casualties in all of this. The company currently offers $10, $20, $40, and $60 plans that include 100MB, 300MB, 1GB, and 5GB of data, respectively. The new pricing structure will offer two plans: one for $10 that includes 100MB of data and expires after 10 days, and the $40 unlimited plan that's good for 30 days.
UPDATE: Apparently there are some glitches with the launch of the new unlimited plan.
Per Virgin Mobile:
"Broadband2Go $40 Unlimited Plan New Offer Update
We are so sorry. We are experiencing some system issues and are unable to launch the new Broadband2Go $40 unlimited plan today as expected. Customer Care will also not be able to accept activations at this time.
We are working hard to fix this, and do anticipate the launch to happen over the next two days. Thank you for your patience."
Everything is expected to be fixed in the next 24-48 hours (as of noon on Wednesday, 8/25).

When Fidelity Investments marked up its SpaceX stake by 15% last fall, while marking down many other private tech stocks, its reasoning was shrouded in mystery. It now appears the upgrade was due to SpaceX's rising valuation in the secondary market, where investors can buy shares from employees and other shareholders.
Recent securities filings show that in October, Fidelity bought more than $85 million in SpaceX common stock at a price that would value the company at around $13.8 billion, up from $12 billion in early 2015. As new common stock is not typically issued as part of a fundraising round, Fidelity likely bought the shares from existing common stockholders, such as employees.

Based on the generalized exponential spectrum for non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence, theoretical expressions of the angle-of-arrival (AOA) variance are derived for plane and spherical optical waves propagating through weak turbulence. Without particular assumption, the new expressions relate the AOA variance to the receiver aperture, finite turbulence inner and outer scales, and the optical wavelength.

With the price of food rising steadily it places people in a precarious position.
My suggestion is to establish food buying clubs.
Such groups allow you to buy at almost wholesale and offer you the choice of organic foods and produce.
Azure Standard and United offer these services.
Plus, this WILL help your health!

"Let's End Online Advertising!" How Then?
The Atlantic Magazine article, with ad supporting it
20 years in to the ad-supported web, we can see that our current model is bad, broken, and corrosive. It's time to start paying for privacy, to support services we love, and to abandon those that are free, but sell us—the users and our attention—as the product.
The article reads like it was tiring to write. There's a simple answer if ads bother you. Install an ad blocker. If enough people run ad blockers the people who wrote the article or created the app will have less money but it's a choice. If it bothers you that other people are seeing ads and you think instead they need to be paying money to read content it seems to me that you are nosy. Or if you have a solution to the problem then start a company, raise money. Surely there are many advertising driven companies that would work with you if you could replace their ad dollars with dollars from your new business model. As it happens I worked at a company that wanted to get consumers to pay for content. Border's Books Louis Borders started the company called KeepMedia which would charge people $20 per month to read content on the Internet. It and other models really haven't worked.
Zuckerman's answers are to point to Bitcoin and a Reditt program for micro-payments. He dismisses ad models such as Facebook's as "Investor storytime." In other words sites make so little from online ads the only way they support it is to raise money from investors. It seems to me that the ad model that Google and Facebook work on is in fact working very well and is not Investor Storytime. I'm willing to bet that another twenty years from now the ad-supported model will be even healthier.

What's the sticking point in the ADL/No Place For Hate/Armenian Genocide question?
genocide (Merriam Webster)
Main Entry: geno·cide
Pronunciation: 'je-n&-"sId
Function: noun: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group
This seems pretty clear cut. I think we can all agree this was Hitler's purpose with Jews. This was what happened in Rwanda. This is what is happening in Darfur.
It is also what happened in Armenia during WWI. I have never heard it credibly argued that what happened in Armenia from 1915 to 1917 was not genocide. I have no dog in this fight. I am not Jewish, I am not Armenian. I am an American with an interest in history and I have read enough to know what happened in Armenia was genocide. I attended a very interesting lecture at the Bostonian Society a while ago on this subject. The speaker was Peter Balakian and he wrote "The Burning Tigris". How can anyone question this definition? How can the ADL remain "neutral"?
There is some very interesting commentary in the Boston Globe and at the American Thinker.
I guess I'll have to get off my duff and email Kerry & Kennedy & Delahunt about this & this.

The term "genocide" wasn't coined until after WWII, and it carries the connotation of actively murdering people.
The Turkish position is that there was no *active* program to eliminate the Armenians. No roving sonderkommando, no camps, no mass executions. The official attitude was (and is): "If the Armenians didn't want to die, all they had to do was go where it was warm. Like, say, Portugal..."

Eq2 gets a facelift
One thing we can say about Everquest 2 is that it has known many changes and updates over the years and continually tries to stay on top of what gamers want. There's many out there eager to sell you on the evils of SOE and sometimes I'm one of them, but one thing that does very much strike me and has done so for years is the attention given to player feedback in their community forum.
Sure sometimes in game surveys that are given are really just courtesy and it doesn't matter what the populace votes when they already have firm plans of doing something. Which may or may not suck to you according to your point of view. But one thing we should always try to remember is that it doesn't matter how passionate you are about the game, it's not YOUR game it's SOE's (or insert company) and ultimately they have the first and last word. However if you pay close attention to the updates over the years there's a substantial amount of them that come directly from suggestion threads on the forums. I can't really think of another MMO that has done this at this level so far, maybe FFXI but Square Enix is just toooooooo darned slow to compete with SOE on that level.
A major gripe with a lot of people have always been the graphics. Someone or a group while developing the game misjudged which direction computer power would evolve and so the game just could not scale well with newer computers and no matter how strong your machine is EQ2 just ran about the same. With multi core support over updates in the last year has really helped in that department, but there are not stopping there! Incoming are new 3.0 shaders which will replace the 1.0 ones. Dramatically transforming shadows, contrast, lighting, reflections and so on. The really good news is that these shaders are small and lightweight and most of them are stored on the GPU instead of the CPU which means the game will not only look tons better it will run better as well. How exciting is that? Personally I feel like I'm an extreme sugar high. :D
Other things mentioned that are a priority for beautification are hair models for characters should we start prayers for the affectionately named play dough styles right now? Perhaps grass will have more toggles to control height so your halfling or fae doesn't keep getting lost and running into trees. But most importantly and totally trumps these things are SLI/Crossfire support, HDR support and general optimization.

Best Online Dating Website for Singles
There are a lot of popular dating agencies offering several dating features online and it is really up to you which of them youd like to sign up with. Here you will achieve the best online dating experience.
The success of finding the best online dating site in order to get the best experience that you can get depends on your choice. There are a lot of popular dating agencies offering several dating features online and it is really up to you which of them youd like to sign up with. These online sites offer several effective ways where you can easily search and eventually meet your potential mate in the worldwide web. A lot of these online dating sites, whether the paid or the free online dating site; offer their services for dating and even marriage locally and internationally.
After joining a particular dating site of your choice, you are taught how to make a dating profile that will attractor catch the attention of other members of the site. Aside from posting profile pictures for dating, you are required to provide your basic details such as your age, education, and family background. You are also requested to take an online chemistry assessment test so that it is easy to evaluate your likes and dislikes, interests, hobbies, and activities. Depending on your specifications, you get a variety of choices while availing of the best online dating services provided by the sites.
In order to become successful in finding someone from these online dating sites, many experienced singles recommend posting genuine profile pictures for dating. Because most singles try to browse as many members as they can before choosing that special someone they like, the photograph makes your page more interesting and appealing as compared to those with no picture posted on their page. Honesty is very important when hooking up with these sites especially in providing your details such as age, ethnicity, interests, and religion in order to avoid problems with your partner later on. There are websites that focus on common interests of their members like those who are into science or photography; hence the chemistry assessment test is a useful feature especially for those considering marrying late.
Many singles that have already experienced online dating recommend signing up with the paid dating websites. It is because the free sites are found out to be the scam sites where many are reported left with empty wallets. There are also those tricked by other members and left alone with a broken heart. When compared to the paid services of dating sites, security is foremost in their minds since they are charging money. Therefore, taking the time and patience to search for the well-known, reputed,credible, and legitimate paid sites is important to achieve success in your endeavour.
Another important tip to take into account is to check with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) as there are comments displayed on your chosen site. Negative remarks written about them will definitely show that they are not the best when it comes to providing the services for online dating. But the best thing to do is to come up with an honest profile yourself and not provide false information for the purpose of coming up with a great match. This will prove to be a disaster in no time as relationships are built on solid trust, sincerity, and honesty. The truth will always come out hence; you will achieve the best online dating experience only when you are true to yourself and your eventual partner.

Like his manager Eamonn McGee was disappointed that Donegal had not punished Monaghan when on top.
But the Gaoth Dobhair man was also expounding the positive before hopping on the team bus.
"It's very, very disappointing. There's a lot of stuff to look at. We had so much possession, but they punished us a lot on the break, and we didn't punish them enough with the amount of possession we had," said McGee.
"But the one positive to come out of it is that we have a semi-final to look forward to next week.
"We have Dublin to look forward to and there's no better place to go than Croke Park to try and work out these wee problems that we are encountering.
"We were in total control in the first half and for large parts of the second half, but we would be very disappointed looking back at their goal.
"They just ran through the middle and that's something that we're not too happy about. Look, we'll just have to look and see where we are going wrong, because we had so much possession but we just didn't punish them enough at the other end.
"They were close to breaking. They were under pressure, but fair play to them, they stepped up and responded.
"We had an opportunity there to kind of punish them and try to make the most of it but we didn't take it," said McGee.
Asked if there was more at stake for Monaghan, McGee said: "That's one way of looking at it, but we would also like to think that we were wanting it as much because of that Ulster rivalry and the way it has been going recently.
"I would like to think that we were going for it as much as them, but I suppose when it came down to the last five minutes, that wee bit extra (need) kind of pulled them along."
Fitness issue and running out of steam in the closing minutes like in other recent games raised its head again.
"A lot of boys made the wrong decision. It was high intensity stuff out there, and we were putting the ball over and back, and over and back, and we coughed up a lot of ball.
"Maybe the bodies were a bit tired, and the mind followed then. Maybe that's the case, but we have plenty of time to get it right for the championship.
"We would probably have liked to have got a few more points on the table, but championship is where it is at.
"We will knuckle down and it's not going to be a nice few weeks, especially for the bigger lads, but we have a game against Dublin next week. We'll recover and start on Thursday and get it going again.
"Personally, it's improving for me. If I'm coming along, the rest of them must be coming along too. We are on an upward curve, but there is a lot of stuff to be worked on.
"It's coming into the right time of the year now surely, and championship is where it's at. Hopefully we can push on now.
"We are in a very good position. I wouldn't be too worried about will this affect our summer or anything like that.
"Boys are coming back. Big Neil (Gallagher) is coming into it; Colm (McFadden) is back training, Neil (McGee) and Frank (McGlynn) got a game there.
"If you were to pick it, it's where we want to be. Stutter along through the league, maintain your position, and then press the button for championship. We're happy enough," said McGee.

Madly in Love
Engineer came home from work and exclaimed, "My life is so weird."
Um...did you say life or wife?
"Why is that?" I asked.
He said, "because every day I come home from work to find something like eggshells drying on the countertop, a basket in the kitchen that has bottles of beer-gone-bad you refuse to throw out since you insist that there is a use for them, or lemon peels soaking in vinegar on the window sill."*
I smiled and asked him if that was a bad thing.
He replied, "No. Just weird."
1-4-3 EM even if your wife, er, um, life is weird. ;)
*He could have also mentioned the seeds that were planted in egg cartons, the gardenia cuttings that are rooting in a glass on the window sill, the thieves' and oregano oils out on the counter to treat the dog's skin allergies, the grains soaking in buttermilk, the yogurt fermenting away in the crock pot, or any of the other apparent abnormalities that were obvious at that moment.
