The Band Perry in Disbelief About Sold-Out Nashville Show
The Band Perry truly shot onto the spotlight in the past year, perhaps so quickly that it seems most surreal to them. At the Grammy ceremony Sunday, they performed a tribute to Glen Campbell, singing his 'Gentle on My Mind' and then joining the legend and Blake Shelton for the classic 'Rhinestone Cowboy.' With that impressive performance behind them, the sibling trio are getting ready for their first headlining Nashville show.
Feb. 20 the Band Perry will be claiming the stage of the iconic Ryman Auditorium, and the show sold out so quickly and so unexpectedly (to the band) that they didn't even have time to snatch up tickets for their friends and family.
"We actually put the tickets on the sale for our Ryman show in February six months in advance because we were like, 'We've gotta sell every one of them,'" Kimberly Perry said in a press release from their Republic Nashville label. The advance sale date was entirely unnecessary, however, as the show completely sold out the first day. Thinking back, Kimberly says it was a monumental point in the young band's career.
"Folks keep saying, 'What was like your favorite moment of the whole year?' and I'll have to say we've had a lot of beautiful ones but the morning that we got the wake-up call that we had sold out the Ryman was probably, hands down, my favorite of the whole year," she said. Though they weren't able to get all of their friends into the show in time, they said they did snatch up one ticket for their grandmother, who will no doubt be proud of her three talented grandchildren as they command such an historic venue.

6/19/12 Braves at Yankees: Yankee Stadium
Question: What do you do when you have a baseball awards dinner in the Bronx and a ticket to the Orioles-Mets game?
Answer: You sell the Mets ticket on stubhub and buy a ticket to the Yankee game.
Also, look at the crew who assembled outside the gate:
From left to right, that would be:
1. Myself
2.Greg Barasch– Frequent catch partner and fellow ballhawk.
3. Zack Hample– Oh, you know, just your average guy who's caught more than 6,000 major league baseballs.
4. Matt Latimer– An MLB.com reporter, who was going to cover Zack during B.P. for a story.
5. Ross Finkelstein– Another fellow ballhawk, who I occasionally run into at games. This may be the first time we've gone to the same Yankee, though. Whatever, I'm too lazy to look it up.
Also at the gate, was this sign on a barricade:
All of us pretty much made fun of all the ridiculous things on there, but after the fact, I thought, "You know what that's actually not a bad idea to have all the prohibited stuff on a sign. It's way better than playing that along with a song on a continuous loop 30 minutes before the gates open." Are you listening, Mets?
Since there were so many of us, we actually spoke about who was going where during batting practice, as to divvy up the sections between us. I opted to go to left field. It would have been a great choice had a) the Yankees hit one ball into those seats during their portion of B.P. or b) Cody Eppley actually acknowledged any one over the age of 5.
Then, when most of the ballhawks came over to right field, here were the views to my left and to my right:
Yes, there were a bunch of empty seats, but how the people were configured,the furthest I could run for a ball was 10 feet, so the ball would essentially have to be hit *right* at me. As for getting a Brave to toss me a ball, forget about it. There were tons of people in Braves gear and most were in the front row.
The closest I came to getting a ball was one hit directly over my head. I moved as close as I could to the landing spot, turned around and jumped, but it sailed what must have been a few inches into another guy's glove.
Soon after this, I decided it was better to go back over to left field and deal with the other ballhawks than to deal with that mess of a section.
There it was emptier, but it started off with the same frustration. NOTHING was coming even close to me. Then it evolved into a different kind of frustration. A Braves hitter hit a ground-rule double. I lined myself up with the ball, and it was coming right towards my glove… until a hand in front of me deflected it over my right shoulder. Words cannot described how frustrated/nervous I was at this point. My goal is to get to 100 consecutive games with at least 1 ball. After that, the plan is I go to whatever games I please, regardless of whether I can make batting practice.
Throughout nearly all of Braves B.P., I was thinking about how much longer it would take me of I got shutout this game. I wasn't as worried as I was in right field, though. Left field was much less congested, and I could actually run around for a ball that was hit. Here are the views to my right and my left:
I didn't feel confident, however, in my ability to get a Braves player to throw me a ball. Ironically, this is how my only ball of the day would come.
When I got to left field, I ran into Mark McConville, who had just arrived with, I believe, a few of his co-workers. He obviously didn't have a ball yet either, so we were both pretty desperate. Actually, on that ball I missed that I mentioned earlier, Mark also almost came up with it, but another fan beat him to the ball.
Anyway, Mark and I had been giving Craig Kimbrel an earful for quite a few minutes. Finally, Kimbrel turned around and lofted a ball right at Mark, but those pesky hands are always up at Yankee Stadium. Even though the ball was very clearly intended for Mark, a hand deflected the ball. The deflection sent the ball right towards my stomach, and almost as if I had Alien Hand Syndrome, I grabbed the ball with my bare hand right before it had a chance to hit the seat in front of me. Here is the ball with Kimbrel and Chad Gaudin in the background:
I then (deservedly) got a few lines (delivered jokingly) along the general lines of: "You're killin' me, Mateo." from Mark. As relieved as I was to not get shutout, I felt really bad for him, since I was in a similar situation just moments earlier.
Then batting practice ended, and I spent a few minutes seeing Zack sign a couple of baseballs:
as I talked with the reporter, Matt, and gave him all my contact information for… well who knows what it could turn into.
Then I conceded to the fact I that I had to go to the awards dinner I mentioned earlier.
It was my first game ever leaving right after batting practice, and I must say, I thought it would feel weirder than it did to be leaving as everyone else was entering the stadium:
I guess I'm already accustomed to the notion from reading it on other ballhawks' blog entries.
As for the dinner, I received this even though I have never played an inning of baseball for Fordham Prep:
- Stats:
• 1 Ball at this game
• 46 Balls in 11 Games= 4,18 Balls Per Game
• 20 straight Games with at least 1 Ball
• 1 Ball x 41,219 Fans= 41,219 Competition Factor
• 53 Balls in 15 Games at the New Yankee Stadium= 3.53 Balls Per Game
• 15 straight Games at the New Yankee Stadium with at least 1Ball
• Time at Game 4:26-6:17= 1 Hour 51 Minute

Big Paulie Budget CarsEdit
[1]Big Paulie's in Tudor, AlderneyAdded by Pr0xy fl00d3rBig Paulie Budget Cars is a car dealership in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is located on Emery St. & Anvil Ave in Tudor, Alderney, opposite the Honkers strip club.Also, it has an entrance on Tinderbox Ave. Although the dealership looks disused, there are commercials for the business on the in-game television, showing that the dealership sells beat-up/wrecked vehicles for extremely high prices. However, only random cars spawn in the yard. Despite this being what appears to be a car dealership, the game does not consider it one, instead just as an ordinary car park. This is because every other established car dealer in the game has a feature where any car taken from the lot gains the player a one star wanted level, even if it is the players own car, or there are no Police around. This does not happen at Big Paulie Budget Cars. The name Big Paulie is another example of Rockstar's crude sexual humor, as 'paulie' is a slang term for penis.

Jennifer McDougall needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
A simple logo that conveys an approachable, casual yet thoroughly professional company.
567 Web Marketing Inc.
Logo for '567 Web Marketing' that places visual emphasis on the '567' rather than the Web Marketing. We will often use the '567' logo without the words 'Web Marketing' so the '567' must be produced separately as well as in conjunction with 'Web Marketing'.
For font, we prefer something that has a close match to any font that is available 'out of the box' in Word 2007.
We strongly prefer simplicity. We are using Stick People to convey ideas and emotions on our site (refer to the StickPeople contest under Other Graphic Design). So a logo that matches the StickPeople theme will work well.
The logo must display well on our website and in print format. The '567' portion must display well at small sizes (as small as 50 pixels square).
We intend to re-produce this logo in a variety of colors so it will probably work best in flat colors, 2 or 3 at most. It must also look good in greyscale.
We would like to convey the fact that our company is approachable, casual, and has a sense of humor. Careful, though, we can't look like we are a drawing out of a kid's coloring book. We are also professional and very serious about what we do.
We will evaluate the contest entries on these criteria:
1. The logo (the 567 part) is instantly recognizable at a glance (a large number of extraneous graphic elements are going to hurt you here).
2. The logo is not visually at odds with our commitment to our Stick People.
3. It does not depend on color to be effective.
3. The logo scales well (large and small).
- 567 logo and 567 with words: Web Marketing
- Color and Greyscale Renditions
- Vector Image in AI and PNG format
- Identify the font used
- Complexity
- fancy graphics that don't mean anything

By Jamey KeatenPARIS -- After starting the day in negative territory, Europe's main indexes were mixed around midday as investors cautiously contemplated a further fall in value for the Japanese yen -- which sent the benchmark Nikkei index surging more than 2%. Analysts predicted a subdued start to Europe's trading week with voters in Italy and Cyprus to cast ballots next weekend and Wall Street's closure for Presidents Day. Traders also had to digest news from the weekend meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers, which avoided upbraiding the government of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for introducing measures that would have the knock-on effect of driving down the yen in a bid to help manufacturers. After starting the day in negative territory, Europe's main indexes were mixed around midday. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.2% to 6,318.65. Germany's DAX climbed 0.2% at 7,605. France's CAC-40 lost 0.2% to 3,653. U.S. stock markets are closed for the Presidents Day holiday. Germany's central bank announced Monday that Europe's biggest economy was on track to avoid a recession as it shows signs of growth in the first three months of the year, reporting greater business optimism and easing fears of the euro-zone debt crisis. The German economy shrank 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The European Central Bank predicts the euro zone economy will shrink 0.3% in 2013 and only start to recover later this year. Growth is seen as pivotal to resolving the debt crisis by shrinking national debts relative to their economy and boosting tax revenue. German industrial stocks were among the biggest risers on Monday, with automaker Daimler, Deutsche Telekom, and chemicals powerhouse BASF all rising about 1%.In France, Natixis shares soared more than 26% to 3.58 euros after the financial services firm announced a restructuring and plans for a one-time 2 billion euro, or 65 euro cents a share, distribution to shareholders this year. Earlier, many eyes in Asia were on Japan, where the Nikkei 225 index in Tokyo surged 2.1% to close at 11,407.87. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.6% to 5,063.40. South Korea's Kospi was marginally higher at 1,981.91.
A lack of G20 criticism for Abe's economic policy appeared to give him a freer hand to pursue Japan's efforts to jolt its manufacturing sector. "The lack of specificity will mean that the G20 statement will allow further unobstructed" yen weakness in the months ahead, Mitul Kotecha of Credit Agricole CIB said in a market commentary. The dollar gained against the yen, after retreating earlier, trading up 0.44% to 93.22 yen. The euro was up 0.34% to 129.39 yen, and was unchanged against the dollar at $1.34. Mainland Chinese shares were mixed after a weeklong break for Lunar New Year. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.5% to 2,421.56. Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.3% to 23,381.94. "Today there is some softening but not large selling pressure," said Linus Yip, strategist at First Shanghai Securities in Hong Kong. "The U.S. stock market will be closed, so maybe market sentiment may be a little more cautious." Last week, the yen fell to a near three-year low against the dollar and the euro. The yen has been steadily declining since December because of expectations that Japan's central bank would take action resulting in a weakening of the yen. Since the start of the financial crisis, central banks around the world have been trying to stimulate their economies by keeping interest rates extremely low to encourage consumers and businesses to borrow and spend. One way central banks drive down rates is to use their power to print money to buy up large quantities of bonds. Several developing economies have recently criticized the U.S. program of quantitative easing for pushing up the value of their currencies. By buying up bonds, the U.S. Federal Reserve has also increased the amount of money in circulation. This has had the side-effect of driving down the value of the U.S. dollar relative to others. Benchmark oil for March delivery was down 23 cents to $95.62 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract closed at $95.86 a barrel on the Nymex on Friday.

It is no secret, I'm a Barefoot Contessa fan. I think her book "Parties" was the reason I started Occasions 6 years ago. When I'm looking for some inspiration, I always start by flipping through my Barefoot cookbooks. This time was no exception!
I was looking for my one indulgent component for the menu I was working on for my parents visit to our house. I hate having too many over the top and heavy recipes as part of a menu - it makes everyone too full and uncomfortable.
I try to concentrate on having just one indulgent treat per menu. I had thought about macaroni and cheese, cheesy potatoes, blue cheese souffle, etc. to accompany the filet mignon, fresh confetti corn, and bibb lettuce with heirloom tomatoes. As I was flipping through my books, I spotted this recipe... Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits. Perfect.
Biscuits are one of those things that when done well, can be amazing. However, they can be challenging - too dense, too flat, too dry. I knew that The Barefoot's recipe would work perfectly - they always do.
Make sure the butter is really cold - just out of the refrigerator.
I pulsed the dry ingredients together with the pieces of butter in a food processor until it looked like sand.
I whisked together the egg and buttermilk with a fork.
I added the milk and eggs to the dry ingredients, then mixed in the cheese. Be careful not too over-mix.
Cut the biscuits on a floured board with a round cutter.
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup cold buttermilk, shaken
1 cold extra-large egg
1 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water or milk
sea salt & black pepper
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, add the butter and mix until the butter is the size of peas.
Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. With the mixer still on low, quickly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. In a small bowl, mix the Cheddar with small handful of flour and, with the mixer still on low, add the cheese to the dough. Mix only until roughly combined.
Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to a rectangle 10 by 5 inches. With a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough lengthwise in half and then across in quarters, making 8 rough rectangles. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt, if using, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.
This recipe is from the Barefoot Contessa's Back to Basics cookbook.

Social Work Graduate Programs and Degrees
What Are Social Work Graduate Programs?
Social work graduate programs offer continued education for students who have earned a bachelor's degree and wish to expand their understanding of human behavior, social policy, social justice and clinical practice.
They are typically offered at three different levels and include Master of Social Work (MSW), Doctor of Social Work (DSW) or PhD in social work.
Social Work Certificates are also available, however these are not considered a graduate degree.
Social work graduate programs are designed for graduate students seeking an advanced degree in social work or to become fully licensed social workers (LMSWs) and clinical practitioners.
Why Pursue A Graduate Degree in Social Work?
If you aspire to a specialist or advanced practice social worker role such as licensed clinical social worker (LCSWs), wish to work in private practice, or aim for leadership and management roles, earning a graduate social work degree may be an important next step - and a timely one.
Social work graduate programs may also appeal to career changers, students whose undergraduate degree is in a related field such as human services or counseling psychology, as well as to BSW graduates seeking to comply with state licensure.
Demand is rising for healthcare and social services which is likely to generate faster than average employment growth. This is especially true for clinical social workers, who hold a masters degree in social work (MSW) and licensure.i
Per the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), social workers, regardless of their career stage, are ethically responsible to stay informed of current research, theory, and techniques.ii Beyond professional development and the addition of credentials, social work graduate programs may enable social workers to follow a variety of potential career paths and possibly earn better salaries.iii
Per the BLS, social workers with an MSW degree earned 25% higher wages than individuals with a Bachelors in Social Work (BSW) degree as recently as 2013.iv
Fact: 50,395 total social work degrees were awarded in 2015. Growing at 5.22% with an average wage of $53,330.v
Social workers are considered a helping profession and assist or advocate on behalf of individuals or communities. They help children and adults solve and cope with problems in their lives. Let's explore some postgraduate social work career paths.
Popular Types of Social Work Graduate Degrees
Graduate School
Masters of Social Work
Masters of Social Work, Advanced Clinical Social Practice (Accelerated: 2-year intensive)
Online Master of Social Work- Macro
Doctorate of Social Work
Social Work - Social and Community Services
Divinity MSW/MDiv Dual Degree
MSW, MDiv
Grand Canyon University
Social Work - Addictions
Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada)
What Are The Different Types of Social Work Degrees?
Social work degrees may be earned at the Master's or Doctorate level. Each may be ideally suited to different levels of experience and goals.
Usually social work programs take a practical approach to subject matter and may integrate practicums or other forms of hands on study which is known as "clinical." However research focused programs, typically in the form of PhD social work programs, may also be available.
Master Programs in Social Work (MSW Degrees)
The Master of Social Work (MSW degree) is a professional degree in social work and the minimum education for many advanced forms of licensure. As such, all MSW programs include coursework, as well as a supervised practicum. Overall employment of social workers is projected to grow 16 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations with the 2016 median pay being $46,890 per year according the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook. i.
Prospective MSW students are not always required to hold a bachelor's degree in social work. However, it is recommended to have taken courses in psychology, sociology, economics, and political science. Average time to completion is two years for students with no previous social worker degree, and one year for advanced standing students who have completed a BSW program. Note that program lengths vary.
Types of Masters Programs In Social Work
Social work masters programs can typically be divided into two general categories: Clinical or Community Practice.
- Clinical MSW programs prepare graduates to work directly with clients and develop clinical assessments, interventions and evaluations.
- Community Practice or Macro MSW programs focus more on policy, advocacy, community organizing and human services management.
Within each of these categories, individual masters in social work programs may have different areas of focus. Often MSW students choose a specialization, either a type of population, like children, or an issue, such as addiction or trauma.
The differences between each program may be limited or vast, depending on the social work school and program curriculum. Some programs take a more generalist approach and have a large core curriculum. Others may be more specifically tailored from the start. Therefore it's best to contact preferred MSW programs directly and read course lists.

Doctor of Social Work - DSW Programs
At the doctorate level, students who have earned their Masters in Social Work might pursue either a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) or a PhD in Social Work degree. These social work graduate programs offer the highest level of education in social work and may appeal to experienced professionals interested in social welfare policy or sociological research.
Earning a doctorate degree does not lead to advanced licensure, however, it may open the door to potential careers in research, academia or higher-level administrative positions.vi
The DSW is a professional degree and therefore focuses on the application of research and work in the field. A PhD in Social Work is an academic degree and may be more theoretical in nature.
In either program, most students must successfully complete coursework, pass comprehensive exams, and write and defend a dissertation. It might take a full time student about three to six years to earn a doctorate degree in social work, although time to completion varies.
Social Work Graduate Certificates
Graduate Certificates in Social Work may be a great choice for students who want to deepen their knowledge and skill sets to work with specific populations. Typically shorter in duration than a full social work program, students might learn very targeted skills (e.g. trauma, addictions) in around one year. Program length varies.
Sometimes credits earned in a certificate program may be applied to a later MSW program. This varies by school, so it's best to talk to an advisor before enrolling.
Clinical Social Workers
Clinical social workers diagnose and treat mental, behavioral, and emotional issues. They may work in mental health clinics, schools, child welfare and human service agencies, hospitals, community development corporations, and private practices.
Within this broad category, there are several kinds of social workers, with different job descriptions. Each role may therefore have slightly different educational and/or licensing requirements.
Clinical positions require a masters in social work degree and additional licensure.
Community (Macro) Social Workers
Community Practice or Macro social workers focus more on policy, advocacy, community organizing and human services management. The field of community practice social work encompasses community organizing, social planning, human service management, community development, policy analysis, policy advocacy, evaluation, mediation, electronic advocacy and other larger systems interventions. Typically community practice social workers hold a masters degree in social work (MSW).
Social Work Administrators and Policy Makers
Social work administrators are decision makers, concerned about the well-being of a total system versus one particular client. This is commonly referred to as macro, which is a term used to describe social workers who are concerned with large units of people. This work requires knowledge about social policy and the delivery of social services.
These programs may provide a comprehensive overview of social work theory and methods, as well as allow for a focus on a specific population, issue, or type of work. Example social work specializations include community practice, trauma, substance abuse, mental health and aging. i

How to Become A Social Worker
- Usually the minimum educational requirement for initiating a career as a social worker is a bachelor of social work, earned at a school approved by the Council on Social Work. Social workers at this level of education may be assistants, case workers or in direct-service position, but they are not diagnosticians.
- For those who wish to continue their higher education in social work with a masters do not necessarily need a baccalaureate in social work as a prerequisite. In many cases a liberal arts degree will be acceptable to enter into a Master's program.
- In most states, baccalaureate social workers are licensed professionals but at the Master's level social workers are eligible for licensing in all states, offering a wider scope of practice. It is important to choose a social work program that is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSCWE).
- Finally, make sure you receive the proper licensing. It is important to familiarize yourself with state regulations on social work licensure requirements. States may require that social workers obtain a masters degree in social work or a relevant doctoral degree before applying for advanced social work licensure.i
Guideline for Social Work Licensure
Licensure requirements vary by state and typically fall into four categories. Below are some guidelines to help you determine which graduate social work program might match your goals.
- Initial licensure: Licensed Baccalaureate Social Workers (LBSW) hold a bachelor's degree.
- Master licensure: Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSW) must hold an MSW degree.
- Clinical licensure: Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) must hold an MSW and have supervised clinical experience.
- Advanced Generalist: Licensed Advanced Generalist Social works mush hold a MSW and have post graduate supervised experience.viii
Licensure at each of these levels also typically requires applicants to pass a standardized exam. However, this is just a general outline. Licensing requirements vary by state and position. It's best to contact your state's board to learn more.
CSWE Accredited Social Work Graduate Programs
The Council on Social Work Education is the accrediting agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as the sole accrediting agency for social work education. Their mission is to ensure and enhance "the quality of social work education for a professional practice that promotes individual, family, and community well-being, and social and economic justice".vii Consider expediting your degree process by using your existing progress in an advanced standing MSW program.

A representative for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon confirmed that the singer gave birth to twins today at 12:07 EDT at an unnamed hospital in Los Angeles:
The singer's daughter was born first, weighing 5lb 3oz, followed closely by a boy, weighing 5lb 6oz.
"My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life!" Cannon tweeted earlier today. "I won't ever be able to top this!"
In an interview that took place earlier this week, Cannon told Ellen DeGeneres that his wife could go into labor "at any minute".
But perhaps the best thing about the news is this:
The statement also revealed that the pair listened to Carey's 2005 single 'We Belong Together' shortly after the births.
According to reports, the couple has yet to name the twins, and are expected to renew their wedding vows tomorrow, as they have been married for three years today.

Transgender Student Named Homecoming Queen In California
Updated Monday 10:20 a.m. PST
While we were applauding Cassidy Lynn Campbell being crowned Homecoming queen the transgender teen has unfortunately been the victim of intense cyber bullying this weekend following her victory.
Take a look at the heartbreaking video she posted:
While Cassidy is obviously exceptionally brave, we've gotta keep in mind that she's still a teen and this kind of bullying naturally has a huge impact.
Stay strong, girl! We support you!
Original Post
A transgender student was named Homecoming queen at a Southern California high school!
Cassidy Lynn Campbell broke down in tears before being crowned on the football field on Friday as fellow students at Marina High School in Huntington Beach cheered her on after she won a popular vote, according to video footage of the event.
"Whether I won or not tonight, I was a winner from the beginning, and I already knew it," Campbell told a news conference after the ceremony, according to KCAL9, a local news channel.
"If this could help one child, or more, or hundreds, or thousands, or millions, then it was more than worth it," said Campbell, wearing the homecoming queen's fur-trimmed cape over her strapless pink and blue dress.
Campbell, who was born biologically male but identifies as female, was not immediately available for comment to Reuters.
"If Marina High School is to make high-profile news during its homecoming week this year," the Los Angeles Times quoted school Principal Paul Morrow as saying, "then we are proud that the message is one of equity and individual respect."
Here's some footage from LA's NBC4:
Congrats, Cassidy!!
Image Source
Shortly after winning this title, this beautiful, brave girl was the victim of such sever cyber bullying that she talked about giving up. She said that she just wanted this one day to feel happy & to have other people be happy for her, but that wasn't to be.
I hope this wonderful girl can find the strength & courage to see past the negativity that was so cruelly directed at her & focus on her amazing, history making achievement. I hope that she continues to see & believe that she is a truly special human being & I wish for her all the joys & happiness that any other girl could expect.
Cassidy Lynn Campbell, I wish you an amazing & spectacular & incredibly ordinary life filled with love & acceptance. Be proud of yourself. You are an inspiration.

Mumblings Around the Margins
Open Vault Disney, the Disney Movie Club is now taking pre-orders for two 27-episode sets of Goof Troop DVDs. The funny thing is, I went to DMC, did a search, but couldn't find the sets listed anywhere. Perhaps I looked in the wrong place, but maybe someone can retrace my footsteps and find them.
This is the first real "movement" on the Disney Afternoon DVD front that we've seen for some time. With Disney apparently terminally uninterested in completing the mass-market releases of DuckTales, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, and Darkwing Duck, I certainly wouldn't be displeased if we could at least get limited releases of the remaining episodes through DMC. Other studios, such as Warner Bros., have enjoyed some success with similar boutique-release policies. The fact that DMC is only offering 54 of the 78 Goof Troop eps in these packages, however, is cause for concern. Is this going to be another instance of Disney simply throwing a few DVD sets out there just for the sake of doing so and not bothering to complete the total series release? If these things are going to be limited-release offerings anyway, then what is the point of only releasing a portion of the series?
The "friendship-focused" MINNIE AND DAISY mag seems to me to be an attempt to compete with the animated and print versions of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Good luck with that one. The one saving grace that I can see here is that "disposable celebrities of the month" have not yet begun to share the cover with our gal pals. I repeat: not yet.
8 comments:
The last thing I heard about it was someone was looking at some drawings from MarvelCon and from what I heard; Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin and Lilo & Stitch have been pitched to the top brass. Other than that; I don't expect this to go anywhere unless proven otherwise.

On DMC, if you log in and go to the bottom of the main page, there is a banner there. Otherwise, just look up the DVD Exclusives. They have that section under "All Movies > Live Action > DVD Exclusives" (or this is the link to the section I have). They should be at the top.

Your "kidney stone" analogy is not only true, but may be the only thing worthwhile about this entire post. Please note: I'm killing the MESSAGE, and not the messenger.
Considering DUCKTALES and its contemporary series have been in a state of "DVD-us – Incompleteus" (Sorry, Chuck Jones!) since 2007, and that it's been almost TWO YEARS since the "final" issue of WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND STORIES, there's no way this can be interpreted as anything resembling "good news".
It feels as if Disney has reverted to its "Post-Comics-Implosion-Mode" of late 1991 and beyond and is once again offering stale crumbs, while presenting it as a meal. It's a mode you should certainly recognize.
When Greg says: "…someone was looking at some drawings from MarvelCon and from what I heard; Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin and Lilo & Stitch have been pitched to the top brass.", I throw up my hands and say… This is exactly what I fail to understand.
Um, doesn't DISNEY OWN MARVEL?!
If Disney wanted WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND STORIES to return – via Marvel, or another licensee – wouldn't they be able to "make it so", as Captain Picard would say?! Why would anything need to be PITCHED to Marvel? Does the tail really wag the dog here?
I know there's unpublished material "ready-to-go", if the comics were green-lit, because some of it is mine. And, there are competent, "ready-made" persons to helm the line, like David Gerstein, John Clark, Chris Burns, Chris Meyer… or go back to Bob Foster – any or all of whom I'm certain would be able to "hit the ground running". If the right person(s) wanted those comics to continue, it wouldn't take TWO YEARS (and, presumably, more) to resume!
I still maintain that the classic DA series' unfinished state on DVD might have been due to there being SO MANY changes of management and personnel in the various nooks and crannies of Disney, that the right person(s) might NOT EVEN KNOW the series are incomplete.
Warner Bros recently "woke up" in terms of completing ANIMANIACS and continuing POPEYE, after long periods of dormancy. While I have less confidence in Disney to undergo a similar awakening, it always remains possible. The "Core Four" Disney comic titles (WDC&S, U$, DD, and MM), however, I feel are gone forever – because they could easily be back by know… if it were what Disney wanted.

That Open Vault Disney petition needs way more exposure if it's going to get anywhere. I signed it quite a while ago and it's only just broken a pitiful 400 signatures?
Man! There's got to be some way to make people mindful of these shows again and get them to sign that thing, or at least create a public demand for the completion of the DVDs.
- May 12, 2013 at 10:57 PM
- Chris Barat said...
It's not looking good at present insofar as a revived "classic" Disney comics line is concerned... for exactly the reason you gave. With Marvel as a partner, it should have been "duck soup" (heh) for Disney to bring these comics back, if they really wanted to.
- May 13, 2013 at 4:17 PM

Yes, Disney owns Marvel. When I meant top brass; I meant pitching the idea to Disney for approval and then be deferred over to Marvel. It's standard protocol to pitch a production for entertainment to be green lighted; has been for decades now. Besides; this is the first time I have heard any one pitching the idea for a TaleSpin comic that wasn't me, Steet, or someone off the street.
Joe; you might be right about this being bad news because I have known Disney enough to realize that the chances of this going anywhere is very small. However; for Disney to just "make it so" is just not how stuff gets approved. They don't call it "sucking up to the boss" for nothing after all.
As for the Daisy/Minnie friendship stuff: I swear that if a TaleSpin comic is approved; the first issue tagline for it would probably be "Friendship is Flying". And I betcha someone is reading this and getting a light bulb on top of their head too.

Of course, this wouldn't prevent someone at Marvel from gently nudging someone at Disney about the issue of comics -- to "grease the wheels of progress," as it were. There's no evidence that such a thing has occurred.

Recent Online Discoveries
I'd like to devote this post to sharing some recent online discoveries of film websites and writings. And perhaps you might also recommend some good sites that should be better known than they are?
-- Great news: Fergus Daly has set up a page with links to over 50 of his pieces. Daly is a terrific critic and filmmaker based in Dublin. He co-wrote the book Leos Carax (Manchester Univesity Press, 2003), and made the documentaries Abbas Kiarostami: The Art of Living (with Pat Collins) and Experimental Conversations (I transcribed all of Nicole Brenez's interview responses from this movie in an earlier post). Lots of great reading here.
-- The last post, on vulgar auteurism, generated a productive conversation and also led me to discover several websites, including The Vulgar Cinema, a group blog run by Sara Freeman, Christopher Small, Jack Lehtonen, Otie Wheeler, Jack Cole and CJ Roy. Related: Tina Hassania's Vulva Auteurism; the group blog Mission McTiernan; and the image-only Tumblr site Vulgar Auteurism.
-- A treasure trove of reading in the first two issues of the journal Cinema Comparat/ive Cinema: Issue #1 (pieces by Jean-Luc Godard, Henri Langlois, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Jean Douchet and Quintin); and the just-released Issue #2 (interviews with Jacques Rancière and Bernard Eisenschitz and many other pieces).
-- J.J. Murphy on Independent Cinema, a blog I should've been hip to a long time ago. (Thanks, Adrian.)
-- Great to see that Doug Cummings' Film Journey, one of the first film blogs I ever read, has now been "rebooted".
-- The huge Tumblr site Cinephilia and Beyond.
Any recommendations of websites: blogs, Tumblr sites, magazines, journals ... ?
Other links to recent reading:
-- The new issue of Cinema Scope magazine includes, among many online pieces, Jonathan Rosenbaum's Global Discoveries on DVD column.
-- The new issue of Screening The Past has essays by Bernard Stiegler, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Adrian Martin, Douglas Pye, George Kouvaros, and many others.
-- At Photogénie, Tom Paulus and Bart Versteirt have been reporting from Bologna. See the right sidebar for their blog posts.
-- David Davidson posts the documentary Serge Daney: Journey of a Cine-Son (1992), with English subtitles.
-- Blake Williams ranks the films he saw at Cannes at his website R and G and B.
-- In an innovative post, Ehsan Khoshbakht and Naiel Ibarrola use the comics form to discuss five great jazz films.
-- Catherine Grant puts up a post devoted to Todd Haynes' Safe.
-- At the Criterion site, Tom Gunning has an essay on František Vláčil's Marketa Lazarová (1967).
-- Jonathan Rosenbaum's 1995 piece "The Preminger Enigma".
-- Dan Sallitt has a post on the inexhaustible Rio Bravo.

One of the waiver deals I can see the Met pulling off this month is unloading Jeff Francoeur. A team needed outfield depth and a right-handed bat could use Francoeur down the stretch.
Since the odds of him being tendered a contract for next year are small, the Mets should be thinking about selling whenever possible, and that includes Francoeur.

In a few billion years, our local, friendly sun will slowly redden and expand to lovingly engulf our planet in a glorious fiery final embrace.
Might seem harsh, but it's only fair - it's been very good to us, and it's got its own stuff to deal with. We've been given a lot of notice, and we're perfectly free to choose what to do about it. We can take up the challenge to move on, taking our creativity and our sense of purpose with us to some less doomed place, or we can stay fixed, romantic, imaginatively bounded yet poetically freed in devotion and loyalty to our home, and go down with the ship.
Let's say we move on. What then?
The last decade or so has witnessed a flurry of astrophysical observations with Big Implications for our long-term future. The result has been that the majority of modern-day cosmologists now view a model of expansion accelerated by dark energy as by far the most convincing picture. Which means...
Well I found this stirring, wee 15 minute program about it on radio 4. If you like everything to be nice, probably best not to listen.
The presenter is Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno, astronomer at the Vatican Observatory, who seems to me a truly remarkable man.
And his name looks like it should mean 'with big sun', which is fitting. It's not quite an anagram of Cosmologian, but it is, wonderfully, an anagram of Gloom Canons. (Where else would one turn for Catholic guidance on the apocalypse?)
More here.
He's also on the case here (if you have 30 mins) looking for goldilocks worlds for us.

Flash your Hercules 9800 to a 9800 Pro!
If you have Samsung (2.8, 3.0 or 3.3ns) memory on your Hercules 9800 (none pro) videocard, then follow this guide to boost the performance and flash yourself a Hercules 9800 Pro!
|IMPORTANT, use the key combination ctrl-alt-del. Don't press the reset button!
|just flashed my Sapphire 9800 Non-Pro last night with success using Flashrom (instead of ATI Flash Utility) and a 9800 Pro BIOS titled: 98-8004.BIN
Many people have asked me why they should bother with flashing their Radeon 9800 Non-Pro just to attain the Radeon 9800 Pro clock speeds? Couldn't they simply manually overclock their video adapter using Rage3D Tweak? The answer is both yes and no. Some video adapters have no problem reaching the Radeon 9800 Pro default clock speeds (380 Core / 340 DDR Memory) from the Radeon 9800 Non-Pro speeds (325 Core / 290 DDR Memory), in which case go right ahead and manually overclock your adapter. On the other hand, there are some adapters that benefit from the Radeon 9800 Pro BIOS being flashed onto them, as many video adapter enthusiasts believe that the Radeon 9800 Pro BIOS increases the voltage passed to the onboard memory chips slightly to help in attaining a higher memory overclock.
Hardware Required:
-> "Built By ATI" or OEM Radeon 9800 Non-Pro with Samsung 3.3, 3.0 or 2.8ns memory chips (NO INFINEON CHIPS)
-> PCI-based video adapter (for emergency BIOS restoration purposes only)
|Is it the same as a simple O/C ?

Flash is succesful, but now I can't set the refreshrate any higher than 75hz. Not even on 640x480.
With my old card (9500PRO) I did 1280x1024@85 hz.
Now it's 75hz and it gives me a headache...
Is there anything I can do about it?

Lowe will portray prosecutor Jeff Ashton
Rob Lowe is returning to Lifetime – this time to portray a lawyer in an upcoming TV movie about last summer's Casey Anthony trial.
The Parks and Recreation star, 48, who previously played Drew Peterson in the Lifetime movie Drew Peterson: Untouchable has been cast as prosecutor Jeff Ashton. The movie, tentatively titled Prosecuting Casey Anthony, will be based on Ashton's book about the case, Improper Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony.
In a case that captivated the country, Anthony, 26, was charged with and later acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee in 2008.
"We're thrilled to have Rob returning to our network, after his amazing star turn as Drew Peterson," Lifetime executive Rob Sharenow said in a press release. "He's one of those rare stars who can do it all, comedy, drama, heroes and villains."
What do you think of his latest choice?

NewsForge: KSpread, OO.org Calc and Gnumeric Compared
NewsForge's contributor Bruce Byfield wrote a hands-on comparison between KSpread 1.3.5, OpenOffice.org Calc beta build 1.9.83 and Gnumeric 1.4.3-6. Seems like KSpread is doing pretty well - the charting capabilities were second to none, and reviewer mentioned KSpread to be a good choice for people making visual presentations. KSpread still needs love and care as handling lists was found to be limited.
all have problems
Here is some anecdotal material.
Yesterday I was trying to export a spreadsheet to a text file with tab-delimited fields and no quotes. I thought this would be trivial, but alas. I was performing this task on a new SuSE 9.3 installation with the OpenOffice 2 beta (novellized version). This version has a nice export dialog where one can select the delimiter and the quotation symbol. Unfortunately, no file was written to the disk and no error message was given. I played around with this for a bit and decided to try out koffice's spreadsheet.
This didn't fare much better. KSpread (1.3.5) has the option to save to multiple sheets to one file. No matter what the value of this option is, all sheets are exported always. Also it is not possible to not have quotation marks in the output the only possible values for the quotation mark are ' and ", contrary to OpenOffice 2 where and character can by used.
Next in line was gnumeric (1.4.3). I fired up YaST again to install it and opened my spreadsheet file. But again, a problem stopped me from exporting the file. Gnumeric does not allow one to set any options for exporting CVS files!
So in the end, I copied and pasted the data from OpenOffice into Kate with worked very well.
Fazit: The versions of the spreadsheet programs shipped with SuSE 9.3 are not able to perform the very simple, common task of exporting one spreadsheet to a tab delimited text file.

Re: all have problems
Just out of curiousity: what are reasons for wanting other quotation marks in a CSV file?
Have a nice day!
By Nicolas Goutte at Sat, 2005/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: all have problems
You would want other quotation marks so your exported document will work with other tools that expect a different quotation mark.
It is also worth noting that KSpread does not properly export or import CSV files. Specifically, it does not properly encode quotes. For example, if I have a field with:
Joe "crazy, crazy, guy" Schmoe, Ph.D.
KSpread will not store this field in a manner that will allow any tool to automatically recognize that it is a single field. The CSV file should be encoded as:
"Joe ""crazy, crazy, guy"" Schmoe, Ph.D."
But KSpread encodes it as:
"Joe "crazy, crazy, guy" Schmoe, Ph.D."
If you import it back into KSpread it will come out as three fields:
Note that some of the data actually disappears. It is worth noting that if I put the extra quotes in, KSpread opens the file correctly. Gnumeric will read it as three slightly different fields:
Joe crazy
Which is an accurate representation of the text file. But of course, the CSV file itself is wrong.
By Zippy at Sat, 2005/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: all have problems
As a matter of fact either you're wrong or your example does not represent what you meant.
Joe "crazy, crazy guy" Schmoe, Ph.D.
should be read as two fields:
Joe "crazy, crazy guy" Schmoe
This for the reason that anything between quotes should be handled as a single string, no matter what it contains. The purpose of such a behaviour is to allow arbitrary description strings to be included in a table (e.g. book titles, various descriptions of the listed items).
KSpread 1.3.5 reads it incorrectly as
crazy, crazy guy
Moreover, it should handle quotes and apostrophes identically. However, it interprets the string
Joe 'crazy, crazy guy' Schmoe, Ph.D.
as three items:
Joe 'crazy,
While this is what you want, it's still incorrect. The trick is to appropriately set the text delimiter in the import dialog, so that it won't match the delimiter you used.
By Obviously anonymous at Sat, 2005/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: all have problems
Yes, that's true, although Openoffice 1.1 served best at this point. But imagine you need to import data from a text file...
By Sebastian at Sat, 2005/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: all have problems
In Gnumeric, just save with the filetype name "Text Export (Configurable)." This will give you a dialog with many options for exporting to CSV.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that next time.

Given the number of people using 1.1.4 in their daily work (including myself), I would definitely not say that it's obsolete.

Re: KOffice 1.4
Wow, thanks!
Unfortunately, that is not really true. My main contributions do not come in the form of new features (although there are some: the new data editor, the row/column stuff, for instance). Instead, I have mostly cut away non-working stuff and removed bugs.
We are currently down to 2 bugs in bugzilla now and with a little luck KChart could be out for 1.4 with no known bugs (yeah, right!).
By Inge Wallin at Mon, 2005/05/16 - 5:00am
Well, in terms of charting the review is very poor
I was trying to make some charts the other day and tried also the three tools. In the end only Gnumeric was able to do what I wanted. Ans what I wanted was very simple.
I wanted to make a chart and then be able to edit the chart and add/remove data.
Kspread doess't allow this yes.
In the end, Gnumeric was the only too that allowed that.
Aftrer this, I needed to make a document with some tables from that spreadsheet, and I ended saving the document from Gnumeric in Office format, opening it with OpenOffice and then exporting the tables, to be able to make the document has I wanted.
Indeed, each has it's own stength, and I'd really love if each was able to also do what the others do...
By Hugo Costelha at Sat, 2005/05/14 - 5:00am
Re: Well, in terms of charting the review is very poor
Yeah, that sucks.
When you use KChart as a stand-alone application you can change data as much as you like. You can add or delete rows or columns, and you can change your data points.
But when you embed KChart in KSpread, you use the spreadsheet as your data source and you cannot change the data from within KChart. That is all good and well, but the problem is that you cannot change the area in KSpread that the chart is drawn from. I really, really wanted to add that feature to 1.4, but I just didn't have time. Sorry.
This is one of the things that I will implement first of all after the release. However, it has to be done in KSpread, not in KChart.

Regardless, the effect is that in a country with hundreds of different languages and a literacy rate of around 65 percent, a large portion of Indian's 1.2 billion people do not have access to independent news and information.
In the tribal areas of Chhattisgarh state, villagers tell Choudhary that they have no voice in the media and therefore no way of effectively communicating with each other or making their concerns known to policymakers in the state capital or New Delhi.
Most people in the region where Choudhary works are illiterate and have no electricity. All India Radio is not broadcast in Gondi, the local language. Print reporters, says Choudhary, write for regional and national papers and do much of their reporting by phone. "Reporting is completely one-sided," Choudhary explains. "You get your reports from police sources and you don't need to go the villages."

It works like this: Villagers who want to report news call a phone number and leave a recorded message in their local language. The information is then verified and disseminated via mobile phone, SMS message, and a Web site, Cgnet.
"We're excited about voice in general as an interface in
low-income communities," says Bill Thies, a researcher with Microsoft in
