Doris Day: A Hollywood Legend Reflects On Life
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross.
GROSS: That's Doris Day having it out with James Cagney in the 1955 film "Love Me or Leave Me," one of the four Doris Day films TCM has just released in a new DVD box set in celebration of her 88th birthday, which is tomorrow.
TCM has also just released a two-CD set of her recordings, and she's TCM's star of the month, which means they'll be showing her movies in primetime tonight through Friday night this week, a total of 28 films.
I'm thrilled to be able to celebrate Doris Day's birthday with an interview that I just recorded with her. Before we hear it and before I tell you why I love her singing, let me tell you why when I was young I didn't. This is the reason.
GROSS: Although that song is from a Doris Day movie I like, Alfred Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much," I hadn't yet seen this film when the song played constantly on my parent's radio station for years - the station they tortured me with when what I wanted to hear was rock 'n roll.
: Day's romantic comedies of the '60s also seemed like they were for my parents, not for me. Then I grew up and started listening to jazz and jazz singers and I heard some of Doris Day's recordings with just a pianist or a trio. Her voice is so beautiful. You'll hear what I mean on this 1962 track with Andre Previn that's included on the new TCM's CD reissue.
GROSS: Pretty good, right? In 1954, Doris Day start opposite Frank Sinatra in the film "Young At Heart." He played a songwriter and at the end of the film they duet on the song his character writes. And if you are a fan of Day and Sinatra, watching and hearing them together is something special.
GROSS: So I told you some of the reasons why I love Doris Day. I guess everyone who loves her has their own reasons, and when I say everyone, I mean lots of people. Doris Day is the biggest female box office star in Hollywood history. She started singing in big bands when she was a teenager, made her first film when she was 24, and after making about 40 movies, walked away from that part of her life in 1968. After that, her mission was rescuing and caring for animals. Doris Day ended her public life many years ago. We phoned her at her home in California.
Doris Day, welcome to FRESH AIR. I know you rarely gives interviews, so let me start by saying that even if we only get to speak for a few moments I'm so excited that I get to wish you a Happy Birthday and tell you how much your work means to me.
When I grew up your movies were very popular but I kind of thought of them as my parent's generation, likewise with the recordings. But when I started making my own taste, I fell in love with your early recordings and that led me to your movies, your early movies, your later movies and I just love your work.
: Thank you so much. I can't believe it.
GROSS: Now...
: You're so sweet to say all those nice things, ah.
GROSS: I have to say, your voice still sounds like Doris Day's voice.
: Does it?
GROSS: Yeah.
: Well, that's good, huh?
GROSS: So, you know, I'm wondering, when you gave up acting and performing - your last movie was in '68, your last TV I think was in '73 - and you've been avoiding the public eye and keeping photographers away, but do you still enjoy singing even if it was just around the house?
: Oh, I love singing. But I had bronchitis which I, you know, that I never had before my life and only when I moved here, and it was very, very, very rough on me. And I think that my voice is - it seems that it's different to me and it makes me feel terrible because I love to sing so much. And sometimes I sing around the house. Sometimes I start singing and it sounds, it sounds like me and I feel, you know, so good about that, and sometimes it doesn't because the air up here is so different than when I was in Los Angeles. It's totally different.
GROSS: When did you get the bronchitis?
: Oh, it was a few years ago.
GROSS: And where are you, exactly?
: I'm in Carmel. I'm in the Carmel Valley.
GROSS: Oh, I know, I know that area. Yeah. And it can get kind of chilly and foggy.
: Mm-hmm. It sure does.
GROSS: So did singing always feel more pure to you, like I always think like when you're in a movie you're playing a part, but when I hear you singing I just feel like that is you, that is like just cutting to your essence. There's something so beautiful and also naked about it. Like there's no - you're not - I don't feel like you're playing a character. Do you know what I'm saying? Just I feel like I'm hearing your essence.
: Well, that sounds good to me.
GROSS: But did you feel different as a singer than as an actress?
: No. Not at all. I just, you know, I was put in a film, I had never acted and then I discovered that we would, that I would be singing in that first film and it was just natural. It just came so natural.
GROSS: And that was "Romance on the High Seas."
: Yes.
GROSS: My guest Doris Day. Tomorrow is her 88th birthday. TCM is showing her movies every night this week, and there's a new four-DVD box set of her films and a two-CD set of recordings curated by her. We'll talk more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: Let's get back to the interview I recorded last week with Doris Day. We called her at her home in California. Tomorrow is her 88th, and in celebration, TCM is showing her movies every week day this week.
So a lot of people may already know the story, but when you were a teenager and Paramount offered to bring you from your home in Cincinnati to Hollywood, you had a going away party and on the way home the car you were in was hit by a train and one of your legs were shattered and that ruined what your dream was at the time, which was to be a dancer. And it's only after that that you discovered you could sing. And when I hear that story I think how could Doris Day possibly have known that she couldn't sing until she was a teenager and laid up after this accident?
: When that accident happened I was a dancer with a boy partner and I was very young but we used to sing together and then we would dance. So I was used to singing. But then that accident happened it was a bad thing for my leg. It was hurt badly and my right foot, so much so that I couldn't walk and I had to lie down. And I was just lying down all the time and then a couple of years went by because the - I hate to go into all of this. It must be boring.
GROSS: No.
: The bones in my right leg from the knee down were not healing, and so that went on for a few years and I did nothing but just lie there because they had to wait until the bone in the bones would come together.
GROSS: Did that give you a sense of patience or anxiety? I mean, because you must have been really nervous about healing. At the same time only patience can see you through something like that.
: Well, my mother didn't go into the details about the bones not knitting. She just said, you know, we have to take our time with this and you understand that. And I said sure. Whatever has to be, will be. And that sounds like "Que Sera."
GROSS: It sure does. I was going to point that out.
: No. But I didn't mind. I wasn't upset and I wasn't anxious to get out of bed. I knew that I had to lie there and be quiet. And suddenly, it pulled together and I was able to stand, and then before too long I was singing with the band in Cincinnati at the age of 16. But then the man who brought his band into the place was well-known in Cincinnati and loved by everybody and my mother told him about 16, and she said that she's not supposed to be singing anywhere and getting paid at 16. And he said we'll put a pretty gown on her, we're going to fix her hair really beautiful and she's going to sing the way I like her to sing and then we go on from there, and she's 18.
GROSS: Ah-ha, so you had to lie a little bit.
: So he did, he did it. I kept that two years older for years. It was really funny. I was always two years older than I really was. And so then, you know, as the years go on and my mother said to me, you know what? She said it just occurred to me you've been whatever the number was that she'd talked about, she's maybe like 30. She said you know what? You're not really 30. You're 28. And I looked at her and I said, oh, my gosh. I forgot all about that.
: We both did.
GROSS: So what birthday are re-really celebrating now?
: Eighty-eight.
GROSS: OK, so that's the real number. OK.
GROSS: So you became famous for your romantic comedies in the '50s and '60s. But there was this image of you that became formed that the characters you played were kind of, you know, like bland and a little stereotyped or something. But really, when you look at the roles you played like you're a working woman, you're an independent, single working woman in some of those like really classic films. You know, like in "Pillow Talk" in 1959 with Rock Hudson, you're an independent interior decorator. In "Lover Come Back to Me" 1961 with Rock Hudson, you worked in the advertising industry. In "Touch of Mink" with Carey Grant, 1962, you're a career woman. So, you know, you're actually playing these independent working women.
: That's what I was. For real.
GROSS: For real. Right. For real, you must've been pretty tough, actually.
: Oh, I don't know.
GROSS: No?
: I don't know about being tough, but what we were doing was something that I was just loving. You know, I just loved my work and whatever they wanted me to do I wanted to do.
GROSS: Did you get the sense that there was this, like, image of who Doris Day was that was sometimes not really who either your characters were or who you were?
: Hmm. No. No, I didn't. I just did what it - wanted me to do. I didn't compare. In other words, and say, oh, God, I'm not like that. Whatever, when I read the script, the words told me what I was and I never had a problem with that. I played me doing that.
GROSS: Is that the way you saw it - playing yourself but as somebody else?
: Playing myself no matter what it was.
GROSS: Playing yourself, as if you were in that position of your character.
: That's right. It had to be done like that. I had to say things like that. It was fine.
GROSS: What was the biggest stretch for you, the character most unlike you?
: Oh, they were all different. I didn't feel different in any of them, even though they were different. I loved, you know, being married and I loved not being married, but working on it.
: And doing what I was supposed to do and be. That's the way I worked.
GROSS: So you left the movies after 1968. Your last film "With Six You Get Egg Roll," and it was the same year that your husband of the time died. Why did you leave movies then?
: I don't know. I thought that I had done all the different things and I loved doing them and then I had a feeling of just quieting down and I came out to Carmel and it was so nice. You know, and I have so many doggies, and I thought this would really be nice to get out of Los Angeles because it was changing down there, quickly, and it wasn't good. And so I came up and we redid a home, and I just moved in and that was it.
And to be in films, when I think about that, then I thought I should've stayed because I loved that so much, but there were all kinds of new people coming up and I thought I've done mine. I've had a great time. So now it's their turn. And that's the way I felt.
GROSS: But it didn't have to be like one or the other. You could've lived in Carmel and still made movies, maybe fewer movies, but you could've.
: Yeah, I could have but I have so many dogs that I love dearly and I was working and helping the SPCA. I rented a place that I could have dogs - not in my house. I rented a big place. And I was able to have the SPCA every end of the week bring many, many dogs to me. They all were in nice places, clean, everything was fine. I took good care of them. And so many people called.
Darling ladies came and said I want to help you. I'll work for nothing. I love dogs, too, and cats. And I said, well, that's great. And so that's what I started to do right away. And I just loved it. I placed dogs with wonderful people and lovely homes and the dogs were just precious. And then one day a woman came out where we always did the work and said that you're to get off the property.
Who's Doris Day here? You're out of here in two weeks. It was just rude. And we managed to get out. And I kept all the dogs that I had there.
GROSS: Where? Where did you keep them?
: In my house.
GROSS: Oh, gosh.
: I have a big, big house.
GROSS: How many dogs was that?
: Oh, at one time about 30.
GROSS: Oh, my God. Are you kidding?
: No. And I kept them.
GROSS: You kept them all?
: Yep.
GROSS: Thirty?
: Mm-hmm. Well, I had a big, big house here.
GROSS: How big was it?
: Oh, big.
GROSS: Like how many rooms?
: Oh, my gosh. Three upstairs, four upstairs, downstairs - a lot of rooms.
: It's so difficult. And then I had my own area in another spot. It was connected, of course, and that was just perfect for me. Everything was right. It was good and I could have as many dogs as I wanted and, oh, I kept them until they went to heaven.
GROSS: Wow. You really lived with a lot of dogs for a long time.
: Well, see, it was another area of the house and they had a big run, they had a huge area to play. They were just fabulous. Just fabulous. And I kept them all.
GROSS: So how many animals do you live with now?
: Six.
GROSS: I would've thought that was a lot; now it seems like nothing.
: Well, I can - when I...
GROSS: Are they dogs? Are any of them cats?
: Oh, yes, cats too. Lots of cats.
GROSS: How many cats?
: Oh, God. Maybe 10.
GROSS: Now?
: But I have lots of room. Oh, yeah. And they're in a special area in the house. They have an outdoor area. It's closed; they can't get out, but the ceiling is all glass and they look up there and they see the trees and when it rains they love it. And it's perfect for them.
GROSS: My guest is Doris Day. Tomorrow is her 88th birthday. TCM is showing her movies every night this week and there is a new four-DVD box set of her films and a two-CD set of her recordings that she curated herself. More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: Let's get back to the interview I recorded last week with Doris Day. We called her at her home in California. Tomorrow is her 88th birthday and in celebration, TCM is showing her movies every weekday night this week.
So I want to confess something to you which is when I was growing up the first real big hit of yours that I knew was "Que Sera, Sera" which you sing in "The Man Who Knew Too Much," the Alfred Hitchcock film. And so my confession is that I didn't like it.
: I didn't either.
GROSS: That's what I've read, that you didn't like it either and you didn't want - so I was so happy to read that. Tell me why you didn't like it.
: Well, the first time somebody told me it was going to be in that movie, I thought, why? Because the movie, you know, how horrible it was toward the ending when our boy was kidnapped. And I didn't think there was a place to put that song.
And I heard the song before I, you know, I knew what the story was completely. But then they tell me that that's going to be in the movie. I thought, why?
GROSS: And for anybody who doesn't know the song, the lyric is Que Sera, Sera, whatever will be, will be. The future is not ours to see, Que Sera, Sera.
: Yeah. And I thought I'm not crazy about that. Where are they going to put it? You know, for what? Is it when I put him in bed sometime and I sing that to him or something? I did that in another film. And I thought maybe that's what it's going to be. And I just, I didn't think it was a good song.
GROSS: And just standing on its own as a song did you like it?
: No. It isn't the kind of song that I like to sing.
GROSS: So how did you feel about that being - that was probably a number one hit and yet you didn't really like it very much.
: Well, I thought that was wonderful because I think it became that because of children.
GROSS: Mm-hmm.
: And then I understood it because it was for the child, for our child, in the movie.
GROSS: Right.
: And so then I, you know, I realized. So maybe it isn't a favorite song of mine but people loved it. And kids loved it. And it was perfect for the film. So, you know, I can't say that it's a favorite song of mine and I think it's fabulous but, boy, it sure did something. It came out and it was loved.
GROSS: What is a favorite song of yours?
: Oh. I have too many.
: Oh, my God. I loved to sing love songs. And I like to sing others too, but there are so many that I love. I just really love them and I love singing them.
GROSS: So I guess I just want to say thank you. Thank you for the interview. Thank you even more for your movies and your music. I'm so happy that I've had the chance to talk with you because I know how little of this you do.
: I'm happy that I had a chance to talk to you too, Terry. And it is Terry, isn't it?
GROSS: Yes, it is.
: Isn't that funny.
GROSS: Oh, because that's your son's name. Yeah.
: You're really good at what you do.
GROSS: Oh, well, thank you.
: And I enjoyed it a lot. I really did.
GROSS: Oh, that makes me so happy. Thank you.
: And it's so nice to say hello to you and to know you.
GROSS: Thank you. Thank you. I wish you good health.
: And I wish you good health.
GROSS: Thank you.
: And I send my love to you.
GROSS: Doris Day spoke to us from her home in Carmel, California. Tomorrow is her 88th birthday. TCM is showing her movies every weekday night this week and TCM has teamed up with Sony Masterworks and Warner Home Video to release a four-movie DVD package and a double-CD set curated by Doris Day collecting 31 songs. Happy Birthday, Doris Day.
I'm Terry Gross.

It's nice to see that Mazinkaizer, while made in 2002, doesn't try to buy into current anime, but rather knows exactly what the hell it is and gives you as much action as you want.
Fruits Basket I found cute as an anime, but I didn't like the ending. Too rushed, and done while the manga was still developing. Let me know how it progresses Nuri, I've been searching for a sensible opinion on it (which is rare supply these days thanks to all the Furuba fangirls).

"Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes is used to writing characters dealing with major crises. Just not like this.
"If I'm not sure what to do on 'Grey's' at the end of an act or commercial break, someone codes or faints or crashes – literally, at 'Grey's' someone will collapse," Rhimes chuckles, admitting she doesn't have the luxury of ailments to provide dramatic curve balls into her new series, "Scandal."
"This one – no. There can be no medical emergency to save you. You have to solve the problem."
Rhimes hopes to rise to the occasion with "Scandal," which takes viewers into the political pressure-cooker world of Olivia Pope, a former White House press officer who now heads her own crisis management firm and finds her life consumed with containing provocative secrets: professional, personal, presidential or sometimes a combination of all three.
"It was a real evolution for me as a writer," Rhimes tells PopcornBiz. "A real indication of how much I've grown up as a writer, to create this new world and have it be totally different and not depend on any of the things I'm used to doing – what I always call my bag of tricks. I had to throw it out the window to do this, and that was really exciting."
Rhimes could also rely on the professional experience of the show's real-life inspiration Judy Smith, herself a former deputy press secretary-turned-crisis management specialist who's handled cases including the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the BP oil spill, for some authentic plot twists. Smith is also a producer on the ABC series.
"I got to know her extraordinarily well," says Rhimes. "Betsy Beers, the other executive producer introduced us – Judy and Betsy Beers have the same agent, I guess – so we just had a meeting to see if maybe we wanted to develop a show for someone else to write or whatever, and I talked to Judy for two and a half hours, and I knew: this was the show. And from that moment on, Judy and I have been fairly inseparable."
Joining Rhimes in trying to make the arena of backstage political drama as sexy and sudsy as "Grey's" is the series' leading lady Kerry Washington ("Last King of Scotland," "For Colored Girls"), who quickly connected to the role. "Part of why I think Olivia does what she does, and part of who I am, is just a fundamental interest in other human beings, and a desire to honor and celebrate the lives of other people," Washington tells PopcornBiz. "I feel like part of why I'm an actor is that I think it's important that all different kinds of stories get told about people. And I think that part of why Judy does what she does and part of why Olivia does what she does is because they care about people, and they believe that everybody deserves a shot, everybody deserves a second chance, everybody deserves a level playing field, which the world does not always create. So I think an interest in people and an interest in humanity is something that we share."
Rhimes says she scoured Hollywood looking for the actress with right qualities to portray Olivia before landing on Washington. "It was interesting because, literally, I feel like we auditioned every actress of color in town – every one! " recalls Rhimes. "I wanted everyone to have a chance, so it was really difficult because we saw a ton of actresses. But then it was really simple because when Kerry came in and sat down and started to read, I thought, 'Well, there she is.' You know it when you see it."
"This really is a single female lead show," adds Rhimes, distinguishing "Scandal" from her other ensemble-based series, "Grey's" and "Private Practice." "Kerry is in almost every scene. She's working her butt off. But I love surrounding that with really strong characters, so the supporting characters aren't just one-note. They're real, three-dimensional characters around her, and I feel like all of my shows kind of have that same element. And I think what I like about it is it affords you so much possibility. As a writer, you want as much possibility as possible and really write for as many people as possible to make it rich."
Washington says that thus far she's enjoyed wrapping her brain around the kind of high-wire gamesmanship her character employs. "It's been really fun to learn how to think strategically," she explains. "I'm not really a chess player, but that's how Judy lives her life and her work. She's always thinking four steps ahead of everybody else. She's thinking four steps ahead of the legal system, four steps ahead of the media, four steps of the client themselves. So it's a complicated existence, but it really challenges me mentally."
Just as long as all the juicy intrigue stays on the screen, she adds: "I decided a long time ago that I'd really prefer it if the drama in my life was mostly drama I get paid for," Washington chuckles. "Nobody can guarantee that, because you can't control all of the factors in your life. But I think it's a good thing that I didn't know a lot about crisis management before I started doing this show."

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein this week became the latest California figure to suggest that the all-but-dead high-speed rail project be salvaged by turning it over to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
It's a worthy idea.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority, which oversees the project, has had well-documented problems -- with conflicts of interest, expensive consulting contracts, unreliable cost estimates, a lack of board expertise in trains, and poorly drafted business plans.
U.S. & World
What's more, the authority's independence from the state has made it less than accountable to state government -- and pushed it to focus narrowly on the project without thinking clearly enough about the state's broader needs, including fiscal needs.
Caltrans, in contrast, has expertise and a long history of managing big projections and negotiating big contracts.
It's a full state department and should have no problem integrating a high-speed rail system with the state's overall transportation system.
The non-partisan Legislative Analyst's Office made similar points in a report last year. "We recommend that the Legislature remove decision-making authority over the high-speed rail project from the HSRA board to ensure that the state's overall interests, including state fiscal concerns, are fully taken into account as the project is developed."
The counter-arguments to a Caltrans takeover are honest. The state bureaucracy will slow down, cost up, and perhaps strange this proposal. A separate high-speed rail authority is necessary because the voters were promised such a power -- and because a project this difficult can't be built within the existing system (or it would have been built already).
Of course, the counter to the counter is just as obvious. The high-speed rail is a zombie. It would cost $100 billion, but the authority has not come up with that kind of money. Its public support is evaporating.
To reverse that momentum, a big change is essential.

F-I Department of Health questioned about possible illegal meeting; Administrator Corbett stripped of duties
A two-hour closed meeting of the Ford-Iroquois Public Health Board is now questioned as a possible illegal meeting. And—action taken by the Board could be challenged.
Administrator Doug Corbett was stripped of any duties concerning the hiring, firing, or other disciplinary matters of any employees. The Board will further discuss the matter.
Corbett's executive powers were reduced after a two-hour closed session that apparently was not part of the agenda.
The meeting, at the Gilman-Danforth Library Monday, listed "security procedures" as the reason for the closed session. The Board went into the closed session to talk about discipline of specific employees, which included Corbett.
The matter was brought to light by the Paxton Record. The state Open Meetings Act requires a governmental body to name the reason for a closed session.


text: Yeah I know you've seen this look before, but its the only thing I had to fit the theme. So today I have 3 things from Around the World. If you haven't gone you should. Sway's Yuka Asian Relaxation Set is one of the first things I wanted to blog from ATW. The set comes with the cushions, table, table accessories and the plant. There is a screen also in green, but I didn't see it when I bought so I went to the store and got a pink one to make my top. Ziau's Geta sandals went perfect with the asian theme and lastly I'm using a pose from the Purple Poses Kate set.


text: I just purchased My Blackberry Pearl 9100 a week ago at Basatne Electronics. A very good phone, just arrived on time, and in the conditions as described. I recommend it, the phone is small compact and it has the everything I need in a blackberry. Its definitely suitable for people who want to make communication easier, faster and more advanced. If you want an emergency meeting, you can send multiple messages to those involved by using Sure Type Technology. The Optical Trackpad works best should you wish to go to another program in a jiffy. Furthermore, the Blackberry Messenger software helps you send numerous files without any hassles. I would like to thank Basante Electronics for such good product at Competitive Price.

Lindsay Lohan's day went from bad to worse Thursday, as the troubled actress first was arrested and charged with assaulting a fellow nighclub patron in New York overnight, then later charged with multiple misdemeanors for allegedly lying to California authorities in a separate incident.
The news came when the 26-year-old should have been enjoying a bit of good press after starring as Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie "Liz & Dick," which aired earlier over the weekend.
Instead she was being issued a desk appearance ticket in a New York Police Department precinct and then scurrying to a waiting SUV with a coat over her head while a pack of photographers shouted at her, in a scene that's become all too familiar.
U.S. & World
Authorities say that while at the Chelsea club, Lohan hit a woman in the face, coming at her from behind. The other woman allegedly involved was not expected to face charges, according to a police source with knowledge of the situation.
Lohan's lawyer, Mark Heller, later said in a statement that his client "is a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame."
But Lohan soon had other problems to worry about.
By the afternoon, unconnected to the club incident, Santa Monica police said they had completed an investigation into an accident involving Lohan's black Porsche 911 and a dump truck on June 8.
Santa Monica prosecutors had been investigating the incident after police said they found evidence Lohan lied when she claimed she was not the driver of the vehicle at the time of the accident. "During the subsequent investigation, information was developed that Lohan was the driver of the Porsche when the accident occurred," police said in a news release.
Lohan was charged with willfully resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer in the course of their duties; providing false information to a peace officer; and reckless driving, according to police.
Lohan is currently on informal probation for taking a necklace from a jewelry store without permission last year. How these latest charges impact her probation is uncertain. At present, the "Liz & Dick" actress doesn't have to check in with a judge or probation officer but could face a jail term if arrested again.
The former child star has had several problems in New York in recent months. She was involved in an NYPD investigation in September after alleging a man had assaulted her in a New York hotel, but charges against the man were later dropped. That same month, Lohan was accused of clipping a man with her car outside another Manhattan nightclub, but prosecutors decided not to move ahead with charges.
In October, police were called to her childhood home on Long Island over a reported fight between the "Mean Girls" star and her mother. An investigation revealed "no criminality" in connection to the incident.
With the announcement Thursday over charges relating to the June auto accident, Lohan's legal woes now stretch across the country.
While court dates are not yet known in relation to the new charges on either coast, these latest developments could impact the terms of her existing probation.
When Lohan appeared before Los Angeles Superior Court in March to end her formal probation relating to two DUI arrests and the necklace theft case, she was cautioned that if she violates any laws before her informal probation expires in May 2014, she could face 245 days in jail.

Vogue Knitting Winter 2016/2017 Issue: A Review
Vogue Knitting has released its Winter 2016/2017 issue. Let's have a look at it, shall we?
Pattern #1. Some beautiful stitchwork on this, and good shaping. I'm not usually a fan of asymmetry, but this one's got a certain balance and restraint to it that makes it effective.
Pattern #2. Some beautiful stitchwork in this one as well, but the hourglass effect is too exaggerated and the neckline isn't flattering -- or even comfortable-looking.
Pattern #3. I would have made this a touch neater-fitting.
Pattern #4. I would make this one a lot neater fitting, as it's more than a little tent-like.
Pattern #5. Some quite effective use of cable here.
Pattern #6. Nice piece, though I think the two cables could have been better handled at the top, where they merge into the collar.
Pattern #7. Oooh, this one is beautifully flattering and elegantly relaxed, and looks delightful to wear.
Pattern #8. This one looks like it was designed by four different people. Who were all drunk. It's a mishmash of yarn shades and flourishes that don't work together. And for some reason it's the cover design, though it's the worst design in the whole issue.
Pattern #9. This one will see its wearer all the way through her pregnancies and make a wonderful pup tent for her children to play in.
Pattern #10. This sweater is quite dramatic and even flattering here, though I have my suspicions that the model's thumb deserves most of the credit for the way the right side is conforming to the line of the model's upper body and that this sweater might not look nearly so good in real life. I do love the chevron pattern and the colour blocking and think they should have gotten some better shaping.
Pattern #11. Not bad. This is the kind of sporty, casual sweater one can wear with track pants.
Pattern #12. The modern fair isle pattern is rather striking, but I would make this piece in a relaxed fit rather than huge.
Pattern #13. I think I would have gone with two different contrast colours for the lines rather than just one. Using the main colour makes the effect a bit wonky, visually.
Pattern #14. I like the pattern overall, but my goodness is this piece enormous. Are oversized sweaters and tops back, and am I going to sound increasingly shrill and out of touch on this topic for the next little while?
Pattern #15. Very pretty. I'm liking the houndstooth pattern, the colours, and the shaping overall.
Pattern #16. Not a bad little wrap, but I don't think this colourway does much for it.
Pattern #17. I like this one the whole, but I'm scheming to get rid of those unsightly sleeve and shoulder seams. I think I would have designed this sweater to be knitted from the top down so that it would be seamless, though one would probably not be able to get a v-neck working that way. Also, this sweater deserved a better colour scheme.
Pattern #18. A very contemporary and attractive take on the argyle pattern.
Pattern #19. Love this hat. Both the pattern and the colour palette are perfection.
Pattern #20. A lovely cowl. The non-traditional colour combination serves the classic fair isle pattern well.
Pattern #21. A classic if rather basic cowl, with pockets that someone has inexplicably chosen to line with pieces of a granny apron. This pattern needed something, but it wasn't that.
Pattern #22. This is an inventive and contemporary piece, but I'd put it on a couch rather than on my back.

Laptop Repair - Is It Always Necessary to Repair a Faulty Touchpad?
Laptop repair isn't always easy, but sometimes it can be. If the laptop isn't under warranty and you dont feel comfortable replacing some of these parts yourself, youll have to find a professional to do it. If you only want to upgrade then you cant send it back to the manufacturer and you'll have to find a tech to do it. You can bring it to a well known retailer like Best Buy and have their Geek Squad work on it since they're pretty well trained and always do a good job on repairs, or you can find a professional someplace else to do it for you.
Easy to replace parts:
Wireless adapter- if your wireless stops working for some reason, you can just go out and get a USB wireless adapter or a PCMCIA wireless adapter to put in the card slot.
RAM/Memory- Memory is pretty easy to install and fairly inexpensive. In many cases, you can drastically improve the performance of your laptop just by adding some more memory. Most places that sell laptops can install it for you, or if you feel comfortable installing it yourself you can put it in. There's an enclosure on the bottom that you unscrew in order to install the memory.
Hard Drive: A hard drive can be a little more tricky to upgrade. If your hard drive gets corrupted, youll probably lose most of your data unless a professional can recover it. Then you'd just have to toss it out and buy a new one and have it installed. The #1 reason for hard drive corruption is abuse, so be careful with your laptop if you want to keep your hard drive safe. If you just want to uprgrade to have more space, first youd need to back up your data and then take the old drive out and put the new one in. A hard drive upgrade is similar to a RAM upgrade. There is an enclosure usually on the bottom that contains the hard drive. In Gateway laptops it's usually in the front for easy access.
Not so easy to replace parts:
For these repairs you'll definitely have to take it to a professional, or sometimes it'll actually be more worth it and less hassle just to junk it and buy a new one
CPU: If you want to upgrade the CPU in your laptop, you're going to have a hard time because usually the motherboard has to be changed as well. You'd be better off just buying a new laptop. On the other hand, if your processor goes bad for some strange reason and you want to install the same one or even a higher speed version of the same processor, it is doable. Youll probably have to ship it out or find a professional to do this.
Motherboard: Upgrading or replacing the motherboard can be a hassle as well, and costly. Again, you'd probably be better off just buying a new laptop unless you have a good warranty and you're willing to go through the hassle of shipping it out.
Keyboard Keys: When a key pops off the keyboard, it usually cant be put back on, so if your laptop is under warranty youll need to send it out for repair. Otherwise you can take it to a tech and have them order the keys you need.
Graphics card: Since laptops dont have as much room as a desktop computer, the graphics card is usually integrated onto the motherboard. If you really think it's worth it to spend the money and replace the guts of your laptop, go right ahead. Otherwise I'd say buy a new laptop with a very good graphics card so you'll never feel the need to upgrade.
Various other upgrades and add-ons can be done through USB or the PCMCIA card slot. For example, if you get more involved with things like sound and video, there are certain expansion cards you can buy depending on what you're trying to accomplish. They're usually plug and play and very easy to install.
Laptop Repair May Lead to Unsuspecting Theft of Your Identity
The cyber-world is full of threats such as viruses, spyware, Trojans, Worms and etc. These can affect your PC and even steal your personal information. These cyber-threats can cause huge dilemmas to your PC. Always have an anti-virus guard installed. Upgrade the program and schedule regular updates. Your software's database should be updated for a full-protection.
Laptop Backlight Repair In Sahuarita Arizona
We all adore our laptop until the day it doesn't function the way we would like, or worse than this - not at all. We need to be mobile and we need to be connected making the laptop one of our best friends along with our cell phone. However when the worse case scenario occurs there are a few things we should take into account before deciding that laptop repair is the best option - with this being the obvious option what else can we consider?
Laptop repair can be a costly expense just to have the same machine back in our hands with the possibility of having another problem and more expense to worry about in the near future. What if someone told you that you could get cash for your existing laptop, functioning or not, regardless of it´s condition, despite it being used as a doormat by the children, and having the early morning coffee split on it numerous times.
There is now a great way to trade in your old laptop, receive a cash payment for it and this can then subsidize the purchase of a brand new computer at the same expense of paying if you had considered laptop repair - the only difference being there is no waiting for the store to call and tell you it´s not quite ready for collection, or it is going to cost a little more than first quoted, and you get a brand new laptop that is up to date. Sounds like a great way to go, but how and where can this all be done?
It is quite a straight forward process, and a lot easier than taking the laptop for repair, all you have to do is go to a site such as www.cashforlaptops.com, they will give you a quote for your current laptop, in ANY condition, whether it is working fine, just won´t turn on, it has a cracked screen or any other damage you can possibly imagine. Once you have your quote they will rush you a prepaid box for you to rap up and return the laptop to them, once they receive the package they process your used laptop the same day - formatting the hard drive is a primary task and from there your check is mailed direct to you. No cost involved from you, just a payment in your hand in no time, quite the opposite of the laptop repair process!
With the above said, having to choose between receiving a payment to dampen the cost of a new laptop, or pay a ghastly figure for the laptop repair, it not expands the options, it pretty much rules the original idea out. With this great way to trade in, regardless of the condition, it could change the way we think when we have to apprehend the thought of laptop repair and what to do when the worst happens - because we know negative occurrences will happen all we can do is take the best from them.

~Pretty in Pink...Week-End
Well it's the week-end again and I'm getting ready to go to my hometown for my class reunion. So, I bring you a sweet blast from the past...
Pretty in Pink
High school senior Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) is a working class girl who has a crush on one of the rich, preppie boys in her school, Blane McDonough (Andrew McCarthy). When Andie and Blane try to get together, they encounter resistance from their respective social circles.
"Pretty in Pink Layered Cake"
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more, for coating pans
1 (18 1/4-ounce) box white cake mix
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sweetened pink lemonade drink powder
1 pound confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons frozen pink lemonade concentrate
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 2 (8-inch) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper or waxed paper.
Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions. To the batter, stir in the lemon zest, vanilla, and pink lemonade powder. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting by beating together the confectioners' sugar and remaining 1 cup butter until fluffy. Beat in the remaining frosting ingredients until combined.
Transfer one cake to a cake stand or large platter. Using an offset spatula, spread the top of the cake with a layer of frosting. Place the second cake on top of the first. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of both layers.

"When I came up in this business, you were embarrassed, you hid it under your bed…and like, if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone you hide your face people."
~Reese Witherspoon
I'm sorry but the girl is right. Come on ladies...at the very least be smart enough to not show your face in these pics. Your putting all your trust in these guys not to share these with others. Really? Come on!If woman want to stop being victims , they we need to stop handing them the weapon! Respect yourself ladies....

Top Speed
Ok, this is gonna sound dumb but i want my car to be able to run with the imports at high end.....over the weekend i got left in the dust by my friend's eclipse on the interstate because i was at about 5500 rpm at 90....what can i do to get that kind of tp speed? would just swapping the th400 for the 700r4 allow that kinda of speed or do i need to do a lot of changing?.....the car is a 69 chevelle 396 by the way.
The 700R4 might just do that....
You really hit 90...wow....
My 69 396 Chevelle had 4.56 gears in it...
my top speed at 6000 was about 68 or 69 mph......
Is it worth the speeding ticket or worse?
I got a B/M Th700 with a lower first and higher top,this with
2.90:1 rear gets me 80mph at 2000rpm and if I go to 100 it
touches 3000rpm.On the freeway that is.
100 is´nt legal here (80 is) but still the BMWs and Mercs fly by,
almost in danger of thinking I stopped and getting out!
Will a 700 allow 4th gear at full throttle?
that does not sound dumb at all....i hate the imports..
is the bb stock??? i wouldnt rev it past 6500 rpm if it is...
you can get a taller tire in the back to pick up a few mph...or regear the rear
what accessories are you running....carb intake..etcetc..those might limit the rpm a little....
your car should be able to take those ricers up to 115 or so...but afetr that it takes a car to be setup for mph to go that fast for a long period of time. i dont think your bb would be very happy at high rpm for a long period.
its all a give and take....take off quick or mph?????
hope any of this helps
Jimfulco... Stock the 700R4 won't shift into overdrive at full throttle... But you can buy a kit that will make it do so fairly cheap. As for my take on the subject I'd say 700R4 if u wanna stay automatic.. Or if you really wanna do some work then convert it over to a manual.. Then you really come out good... Quicker acceleration, better gas mileage, and lower geared at top end for faster speeds... Then theres always the aftermarket geared overdrive units that mount between the transmision and the drive shaft.
Use a 2004r it has a slightly wider ratio .62 as opposed to .65 for the 700
Yeah 200R4's are the way to go if you got the money to build one right.
if you can.. a new cam.. cams also play a big role in ither more torque or more horsepower.. my guess would be a new $100 cam if u got the money..
You need to quit bull shipping us
First off I think your talking through your ***. There is no Eclipse that will pull a 396 chevelle. Top speed of 90mph is bull ****** too! My 72 402 would peg the spedo and keep pulling! Damn Troll anyway, at least make up a believable story to lie about.
Rat Rods Rule!
I beg to differ with you about the eclipse pulling a 396....it's happened multiple times. My friend's eclipse has a super 20g turbo, 720 cc injectors, front mount intercooler, dsm translator allowing him to use the gm mass air flow sensor off the camaro, act 2600 clutch, running 24 psi of boost. He's in the 320 hp range right now. I think you highly underestimate the potential of our import rivals.
Imports not rivals to rods
Two totally different thing kid. That import junk dosn't belong in a conversation on a HotRod site, can't you read?? We discuss HotRods here not that jap crap you so proudly admire. I say again, YOU DO NOT PM ME! Anything you can possably say,say it here in front of this board. Because I will again call you a lier to your Face. Your story is a lie and you are a lier. I have an Eclise in my yard, my son and I worked on it to beef up the piece of *****,.. Jap junk and Rods are two different things. Go someplace else, a jap crap site and tell them your lies. You probably have never ridden in a 396 Chevelle . Why would you be so proud your friend didn't know how to drive it then. 90mph top end, bull *****! Damn Trolls!
Rat Rods Rule!
Hey tm454......is your son's eclipse turbocharged by chance?.....they make a huge difference in the performance of the car. With my car being stock it's kinda hard for it to run with a highly modified turbocharged car car thats 1500 lbs lighter than i am. I asked a simple question when i made this post and stated a fact that a modified eclipse walked a 396...i didnt ask for you to come into the conversation talking trash, all i wanted was an answer to my question of how to get more top end in my car.
Exactly how are they "rivals"? They are hotrodders that march to a different tune, thats all.
If you ask me you could drop $12K on a really pristine BB Chevelle and have a nice 12-13 second car with only a little tuning and be as reliable as a bank vault, or you could drop $10K on a used Eclipse and then spend another $10K in parts and tuning to end up with a turbocharged grenade that won't be worth a dime in 10 years.
Sounds to me like you have pocket book envy not fast car envy.
Spend another $400 on gears and hang on, I once had the 400M in my garage in a 78 XR7 with a set of 2.50 gears out back and at 130+MPH I lost my nerve. Car felt like it was going to leave the road with the brick front end and jello suspension.
The engine was willing to go faster but my survival instinct wasn't. Sounds to me like you already know the answer to your question anyway.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

I have this project I have to do and I am completely lost.
This is the stub code my professor gave us.public class Album { private int nPictsInAlbum; private Picture[] pictArray; private int capacity; //////////constructors////////// public Album(int capacityParam ) { capacity = capacityParam; } //////////methods////////// public boolean addPicture( Picture p ) { System.out.println("addPicture( p ) called. The Picture object param. printed as a String is"); System.out.println( p ); return true; } public boolean addPicture( Picture p, int where ) { System.out.println("addPicture( p , " + where + " ) called. The Picture object param. printed as a String is"); System.out.println( p ); return true; } public void explore() { System.out.println("explore called"); } }
these are the only 3 method we are supposed to have, also 1 constructor.
I am clueless on how to complete the explore method he made it print this line so we can figure out what to write in replace of it. The information he gives us on this method is:
A new Picture is made whose height is the max of the heights, and width is the
sum of the widths of the stored Picturess. The Pictures in the Album so far are
copied into a new Picture and that Picture is displayed by calling the
explore() method on it. All the added Picture copies should start at the top of
the new Picture and be laid out horizontally, with no overlaps or gaps.
He doesn't really tell us much info on what we are supposed to be writing in on this. Also I do not know much about class files as this is the first thing we have done with them. If I try to run this it says Static Error: This class does not have a static void main method accepting String[].

Woonsocket Rocket Heads into the Sunset
I remember it like it was yesterday, the Ted Williams Museum was holding a silent auction just beyond the sun-drenched grandstand of Progress Energy Field during the final Spring Training game ever at the facility and I was down underneath the stands bidding furiously for number 10 of 20 produced lithograph portraits by renown sports artist James Fiorentino of one of the Rays budding star.
I did everything in my power to possess that mesmerizing portrait, not for its collectible value or even its future fiscal nature, but because on that canvas was one of the most exciting players in Rays baseball to me. He was one of the first true Rays produced stars to emerge from the Rays farm system and provide instant relief to the Rays Republic.
But there was another admirer standing close to me that day who kept the bidding fast and hectic and if not for the pure grace of me being left-handed, and quick with the stroke of a pen, this authentic piece of Rays history would have slipped from my grasp.
I had successfully won the auction, plus an additional Ted Williams Museum authenticated second photo of this same Rays athlete. I had gone 2-for-2 that day and left happy with a portrait under either arm…It was a great day.
This portrait was of the same Rays athlete who made his Major League Debut just over four years earlier on Opening Day, March 31, 2003 and his inspired outfield and hitting prowess impressed not only the Tampa Bay locals, but the national media also showed him a bit of love as he ended the 2003 season with a third place finish in the 2003 Rookie of the Year Award. Only 3 years after being selected in the First Round of the 2000 MLB Draft, he had made Tampa Bay fall in love with his hustle, determination and charisma.
This same series of 20 Fiorentino inspired portraits were commissioned just after that stellar rookie season. A lot has happened to this athlete since this photo was done and the time I put it firmly on my home wall. He has been to the World Series, been in many magazine articles and photos including a great cover shot from above during the 2008 World Series.
Most people might not know of his artistic side with practical jokes and molding Styrofoam cups into portrait works of art while sitting in the Rays dugout. Or of his ever changing facial motif that has gone from clean shaven, to a bushy moustache, to a full grown "Grizzly Adams" beard.
Things beyond his immediate control began to dictate his career since 2005 when he endured an ACL tear, Tommy John's surgery and an aliment that would take down an adult elephant. On March 12, 2008, I was huddled underneath those same Progress Energy grandstands when he addressed the baseball world and took a hesitant step back from the game he so loved.
The defining quality I have always remembered and admired about this athlete was his determination and strength to push beyond the boundaries of normalcy. His decision to fight this aliment, helped him progress to actually get a chance to celebrate his franchise's first post season bid with a lot of the same players that went through the Rays farm system with him.
His ultimate tenacity was rewarded in April 2009 with the pre-game presentation of a glistening diamond encrusted ring to commemorate his part in the Rays 2008 American League pennant. This amazing career might have only lasted 8 MLB seasons, but this is the same athlete who began 2010 as a Rays special roving instructor before signing a MLB contract late in 2010 and again help his teammates celebrate another postseason berth.
He has endured pain and suffering that would have most players packing their gear and going home forever. Instead of giving into utter temptation, this player sought out medical answers and was not going to let this aliment define him. Even in that 2003 Fiorentino portrait, you can see the confidence, the swagger, that innate desire to not give in to the norm and fight until exhausted.
In 2008 when he took a step back from the game, it was not with the intentions to retire and fade into the background. From the moment he first set foot on the turf at Tropicana Field, to his recent retirement announcement at the tender age of 29, this athlete envisioned the "Rays Way" of playing the game even before Rays current Manager Joe Maddon's even entered the Rays clubhouse for the first time.
I am going to miss Rocco Baldelli. He is the only Rays player I have ever forgiven for going to play for a division rival because he was fulfilling a life long baseball dream.. Baldelli will not wander far from the Rays light as he will take a position within the Rays front office as a Special Assistant possibly working wit the next great Rays athlete.
That 2003 rookie season portrait will still stay hung above my baseball collection. Because when I think of early Rays baseball, Baldelli is the first name that pops into my mind. Somewhere I think even DiMaggio would be smiling about the way the "Woonsocket Rocket" played the game.

What a class act this man has been. I am glad he called it a career in a Rays jersy and even came back to help down the stretch of last season. It's really a shame that injuries haunted him all the way to the end, however, you can't help but admire his effort to make it back.
I am happy that Andrew Friedman found a spot for him in the front office. Everyone in Tampa Bay loves Rocco and it's only right he's able to help the team despite his career being cut short. I know he was an assistant before he came back last year, but it's great it was still there for him.
Rocco actually was a minor league roving instructor when I saw him when pitchers and catchers reported last season. He took the gig so he could get Rays rehabilitation while working out and strengthing his shoulder then as we Rays fans know…He rejoined the team and got a second AL East title on his resume'.
He might of only had 8 years in his career, but the guy did things players like Bubba Trammel, Alex Sanchez and Damian Rolls experienced in their careers.
Rocco will always be in my list of favorite Rays players….even without an All-Star nod.

I was sorry to hear that Baldelli's health wouldn't allow him to continue as an active player, but I'm glad he'll be working in the Rays' organization. Best of luck to him.
Art and baseball…. love when they go together. Sorry to hear about Rocco, but he gave it his best effort, so I always gotta commend that.
I used to coach a few High School sports in the past and I always stressed to my players to embrace their talents and strive to gettheirmaximum potential because you never know when a single-celled organism will multiply within you and take that gift away.
It is tragic that a baseball talent like Baldelli was sudden;y hindered, but it is a perfect illustration that even in a time of stress and trouble, this athlete endured, pushed and tried to give whatever he could to a sport that he loved.
I think Rocco has gone above and beyond the norm in terms of trying to conquer and beat his illness. I can only stand and applaud the man…he is a true inspiration of guts and grit.
Rays Renegade
Before I won the auction I had never heard of the work of Jeff Fiorentino, but since that time I have seen more than a few of his lithos of famous sports icons and figures.
The Baldelli print is a special piece of the Rays early history, and one that I truly cherish.
His career might have been cut short, but the things he did to help this team grow in that short span speaks volumes on his committment to this game.
Rays Renegade
It's a shame that an illness can take away the game from a player. I really thought he was going to take his career to the next level during the '06 season.
I always liked Rocco Baldelli – even when he was a RED SOCK. He's such a good guy. It's a shame his health took him away from the game so early. Rocco, I know you were special
It is sometimes a shame how things outside our normal control in life can take something like a promising baseball career and crush it like a tin can.
Aliments like what happen to Baldelli unfortunately have plaqued the game for a long time. Sometimes badthings happen to good people in this game.
But Rocco fought like a champion and got to again have some more memories, including watching his team celebrate a post season berth and be part of a World Series.
The script on Baldelli is still being written, but if the past is any indication….He will be around the game for a long time.
Rays Renegade
Since Rocco was a Rhode Island guy, I can not be mad about his Red Sox time. He got to fulfill a lifetime childhood dream of playing in the Boston Red jersey to a full house.
Also, if it wasn't for the Red Sox medical staff, Rocco would never have found out he was mis-diagnoised and would have stayed with the same regiment of drugs and ill effects for his entire life.
So I will not give them props, but I will also not burn the bridge.

LOS ANGELES, June 24 (UPI) -- Predator is the latest series to receive a reboot.
An all new movie is currently in the works at 20th Century Fox. Shane Black will write and direct the film, and original producer John Davis will return to produce.
Black also has existing ties to the franchise, having appeared in Predator (1987) as the ill-fated Rick Hawkins. The director's other credits include the screenplays for Lethal Weapon (1986), Last Action Hero (1993) and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005), and co-writing and directing Iron Man 3 (2013).
The original movie starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, the leader of an elite team tasked with recovering an abducted minister from Central America. During the mission, the team members are killed off and stalked by Predators, sentient alien beings who hunt other dangerous species for sport. The film inspired two sequels, Predator 2 (1990) and Predators (2010), and two crossover films with the Alien franchise, Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007).
Black has two other projects in the works, 1970s crime movie The Nice Guys and the pulp comic-based Doc Savage. The director has been in talks with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe for the former, and Chris Hemsworth for the latter.

America's enthusiasm for "Glee" only soared after the show's hiatus, with viewers coming back strong last night for the much-publicized return.
More than 13.6 million viewers tuned in, nearly double its usual audience.
It's especially impressive since the four-month layoff might have caused some of the show's impressive momentum to slow from the fall and force the cast to deal with dreaded expectations.
"Before we started shooting these, I was thinking wow, people have real expectations now," Kevin McHale tells PopcornBiz. But he says they quickly got over the pressure.
"The same energy is there and we're all just kids trying to make people cry every week," he says. They did just that, with Jane Lynch attracting particular attention with her version of Madonna's "Vogue"
Executive Producer Ryan Murphy told EW that the hiatus gamble paid off. There was so much attention around the return of the show that it vaulted to new heights.
"Everybody thought Fox was crazy to...pull it off the air for four months," said Murphy. "They got a lot of criticism for it, but (the ratings) prove that it was a great plan. It really worked."
Rather than stall, the show just built on itself. "In those four months we won the Golden Globe and a Peabody," said Murphy. "And with the Oprah/White House effect, it became a perfect storm to get people really excited about the show."

Apple CEO to iPhone: 'So Bright… So Beautiful… Ah, My Precious.'
Apple's iPhone hasn't even arrived at market yet, and it's already starting to suck all the air out of the news cycle. Cast an eye around the tech media today and you'll find an abundance of coverage on what's shaping up to be the most anticipated wireless device since the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. If Apple's goal of peddling 10 million iPhones by December 2008 seemed a bit too ballsy when the company first announced the device, few seem to be questioning it now.
Indeed, BusinessWeek says the device could become a $10 billion-a-year business within just a few years, and Apple shares have been trading higher each day on the sort of monomania typically reserved for the Mac faithful. AAPL is up about 2% as I write this, trading at nearly $126.
And analysts say it's headed even higher. UBS raised its price target on the stock to $160, predicting 150,000 iPhone shipments in the third quarter and 800,000 in the fourth. "After evaluating our model, we believe Apple's iPhone and free cash-flow potential is even greater than investors realize," UBS analyst Ben Reitzes said in a research note. "We still believe our estimates may be conservative." Over at Credit Suisse, Robert Semple was similarly optimistic, predicting consumers won't be put off by the iPhone's $500 price tag. "There is a developing trend with middle-market consumers which plays right into the hands of Apple's iPhone," he told clients. "That trend involves the notion of 'trading up.' We believe the Mac operating system is the great differentiator in the iPhone, establishing an entirely new set of features and capabilities unavailable to current mobile phone customers today owing to the poor quality of existing operating systems."
There are those who disagree with Semple's view, of course. Mostly, rival handset makers, but an analyst or two as well. OK, one–Avi Greengart at Current Analysis, who seems to be the sole analyst paying any mind to iPhone rivals like Nokia's N95. "N95 has everything that the iPhone has," he told The Wall Street Journal. "It could have been an iPhone killer. In Europe, it may well be."

Top About RoMEO
- What is RoMEO?
- What use is RoMEO to me?
- What does RoMEO contain?
RoMEO is a searchable database of publisher's policies regarding the self- archiving of journal articles on the web and in Open Access repositories.
If an academic author wants to put their research articles on-line, they are faced with an increasingly complex situation. Evidence shows that citations to articles made openly accessible in this way are taken up and cited more often than research that is simply published in journals. Also some funding agencies require open access archiving for their research, to increase the use of the information generated.
However, some publishers prohibit authors from using their own articles in this way. Others allow it, but only under certain conditions, while others are quite happy for authors to show their work in this way.
Authors can be left confused: RoMEO helps to clarify the situation.
RoMEO contains publishers' general policies on self-archiving of journal articles and certain conference series. Each entry provides a summary of the publisher's policy, including what version of an article can be deposited, where it can be deposited, and any conditions that are attached to that deposit.
Top Coverage
- What journal titles does RoMEO cover?
- How many journals does RoMEO cover?
- What publishers does RoMEO cover?
- How many publishers are covered by RoMEO?
RoMEO covers peer-reviewed journals and serials. Journal titles are gathered from publishers' websites and supplemented with by feeds from the British Library's Zetoc service, DOAJ, and Entrez.If RoMEO does not cover the title you are interested in, please try searching for the Publisher instead. Also, please contact us to tell us about the gap in our data.
RoMEO does not provide self-archiving information on books, monographs, theses or conference papers, however, some series titles may be covered.
RoMEO's own database covers over 22,000 journals. RoMEO also searches the Zetoc, DOAJ, and Entrez databases for additional journals.
RoMEO provides the general policy of publishers of peer-reviewed journals and serials, that have been suggested by users. If the publisher you are looking for is not listed on RoMEO, please suggest it - Making a Suggestion.
RoMEO is updated regularly, a current figure for the number of publishers on RoMEO can be found here on RoMEOs Statistics Page.

Our summaries are based on publisher's copyright transfer agreements, open access policies, and other publisher documents that are available online, along with personal communications with the publisher.
We standardise these policies using SHERPA terms for ease of comparison between publishers. If you believe the publishers policy has changed please contact us.
The RoMEO service uses a simple colour-code to classify policies. More details on the colour codes used on RoMEO can be found here.
Publishers may use the term pre-print to define all forms of the article prior to print publication. SHERPA follows an academic practise of defining pre-prints as a draft of an academic article or other publication before it has been submitted for peer-review or other quality assurance procedure as part of the publication process. Preprints cover initial and successive drafts of articles, working papers or draft conference papers. Post-print is then the form of the article as it is submitted for printing - i.e. after all peer-review changes are in place. Further definitions used by SHERPA can be found here.
If you believe the publishers policy has changed please contact us.
The section on Mandates OA indicates whether the above publisher policy complies with the relevant funding agency's open access requirements. If there is a tick present, then the policy for that publisher meets that particular funder's mandates e.g. Wellcome Trust. However if another funder has a cross beside their name, the publishers policy does not meet their mandates e.g. NIH. Each funder's name link is linked to their entry in JULIET, which provides a summary of the relevant mandate.
Paid OA refers to the Paid Open Access options provided by some publishers. These enable the authors to have their work provided in an open access manner or allow deposit in a repository in exchange for a fee. A list of the Publishers with Paid OA options listed in RoMEO, can be found here. The presence of a Paid OA option does not affect the RoMEO colour of the publisher.
Each Publisher entry indicates if the Publishers' version/PDF can be archived. In addition, a list of the publishers in RoMEO which allow the use of their PDF can be found here.
An exception is where a journal or group of journals follows a different policy to the majority of a publisher's titles.
Each publisher entry contains a date indicating when that entry was last updated. Currently, RoMEO is unable to provide online access to previous publisher entries. However, we are more than happy to consult our paper records to assist such enquiries.
Most RoMEO publisher and journal records include a 'Link to this page' URL. The publisher links use RoMEO's persistent publisher identifiers, while journal links use the ISSN or ESSN. More complex links are possible. Full instructions can be found here.
Top Searching RoMEO
- Search options

- I cannot find the journal I want.
- Why do you not list, for example, the Proceedings of National Academy of Science?
- I tried to search by ISSN, but it said the number was wrong.
- Spelling
RoMEO has both 'simple' and 'advanced' search options Simple searching covers: Journal title, Journal abbreviation or acronym, ISSN, ESSN, and Publisher name. Advanced searching also covers: RoMEO publisher ID, RoMEO Colour, and Update date. It also lets you specify a research funder, to check for compliance with their open access mandate.
Common abbreviations and acronyms are provided by the Entrez database.
RoMEO advanced searching offers the option of restricting your search results by the funding agency compliance of the publisher policies. This is currently limited to funding agencies listed in JULIET. Authors funded by RCUK or the Wellcome Trust should use SHERPA/FACT to determine the best way to comply with their funder's open access requirements.
If you feel that a publisher is not listed correctly, please contact us
The Journal search function is set as default to 'exact title', if you are having problems locating a journal you may wish to try altering the search settings to 'starts with' or 'contains'.
Do not use 'The' in your search terms, e.g. use 'Journal of...' instead of 'The Journal of...'
If you can not find the journal title, try searching by ISSN or ESSN.
If you are still unsuccessful, but know the publishers name, try searching by Publisher for their general policy, as the journal title may not yet be covered by RoMEO.
Proceedings and Transactions can be listed in various ways, eg 'Proceedings-', 'Proceedings -', 'Proceedings of'. If you are unable to find the required item, try using the 'contains' function and enter the Society name instead.
Please check you have entered the number correctly, in the format XXXX-XXXX
RoMEO does not automatically suggest alternative spellings for words, so check that you have spelt the title correctly Alternatively, try the ISSN.

Because it was garbage. BA-ZING!
If you're a hardcore Disney fan, then you're probably aware of the remote controlled, talking trash can that interacts with guests at Tomorrowland and Walt Disney World. It has an adorable voice and a happy demeanor.
According to Inside the Magic, PUSH has been "permanently closed," due to the expiration of its contract. And now the internet fog horn has been sounded. A facebook"save PUSH"group has already been started. But there's no telling is Disney will save this little guy from the big garbage dump in the sky. Until we know more, you'll just have to live your life sans talking trash receptacles.

After training in surgery between arrival at medical school in 1978 and appointment as a laparoscopic surgeon in 1995, I have continued to take time out to photograph railways all over the world. Out in the real "non-blurb" world I have had 18 books published and my first blurb book - "Requiem for Extreme Steam" was inspired by the efforts of fellow photographer Anthony Guppy and his book about Tehachapi. Married to Irene, we have five children and hope to slow down in our 50s!

text: I need a good book for DirectDraw and Direct3d I picked up a book recently Advanced 3-D game programming by adrian perez I don't really like it. I mean it what direct draw does and such but then when it gets into the code I don't like the way he did it he wraps everything in classes and just does the class decleration and doesn't show what the functions in the class do. I wanna learn DirectX and that is hard enough but wrapping it in classes and not giving explainations of the class kicks my ass. So any books you would say are good would be a lot of help or if anyone wants to sell a book I might be willing to buy.
