Veronica Taylor
this wiki
|'Veronica Taylor'
|Birth Date:
|December 4, 1965
|Notable Character(s):
| Ash Ketchum
Delia Ketchum
Veronica Taylor is an American voice actress for the 4Kids dubbing company. She first started out in school plays. For acting, Taylor attended The Catholic University of America for college and Brandeis University for graduate school. She also toured with The National Players, led by Catholic U's Department of Drama chairman William H. (Bill) Graham, and other stage companies in Washington, D.C. and other cities across America. Veronica was later recruited for the 4Kids company. She was then cast in Pokémon as the main character, Ash Ketchum. Veronica is famous for being the original voice of Ash. She continued voicing him until 2006. She also provided the voice of May from 2003 to 2006. That was the time when 4Kids lost rights to the show, and Pokémon USA decided to replace Veronica Taylor and the other members of the original cast. She was replaced by Sarah Natochenny who took over the role of Ash Ketchum and Delia Ketchum, and Michele Knotz who took over the role of May. During this time, Veronica was emotional because she lost not only a role - but a character who was very dear to her heart. Veronica's other notable roles include Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruune from Slayers, Narue Nanase from World of Narue, Clawdia from Fighting Foodons, Nico Robin from the 4Kids adaptation of One Piece, Carly Carmine in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and Tori from Tai Chi Chasers. Her most recent role is the English voice of Sailor Pluto/Setsuna Meiou for the VIZ Media dub of both the original Sailor Moon anime, and Sailor Moon Crystal. Not only has Veronica voiced anime, but she has also lent her voice to audio books written by authors such as Judy Blume, Emily Giffin, Danielle Steel, Mary Kay Andrews, Linda Castillo and Wendy Mass.

Multimedia Journalism Majors
Download the Journalism Major Handout
At Franklin College's Pulliam School of Journalism we operate by a time-tested principle. We believe people learn best when they have the chance to put what they are taught into practice. At Franklin, you will learn in the classroom how to write a story, take a picture, shoot a video, design a page or record an audio track — and then you quickly will be given the chance to do so in front of an audience that numbers in the hundreds of thousands.
Through our award-winning Franklin College Statehouse Bureau and its website, www.thestatehousefile.com, your work will be circulated to our long list of newspaper, radio and television clients and appear before a statewide audience. The best part is: you'll get paid for doing the work.
We teach journalism this way because we know it works. Nearly 100 percent of the students who have worked in our Statehouse Bureau get jobs when they graduate — reporting not just on government and politics, but doing feature writing, taking pictures, shooting video, designing layouts and doing voice work.
Newspapers, television programs and radio stations invest in our program — and ultimately hire our graduates — because they know that we train our students to be ready to do the job on the first day. The question is: Will you be one of those students?
The National Pulliam Journalism Scholarship
Franklin College will award one full-tuition scholarship each year to a student who applies before Dec. 1st and is interested in studying multimedia journalism or public relations. All students who indicate they want to major in journalism on their application for admission to Franklin College automatically will be considered for this award.
Student Media
The Franklin
You will launch yourself toward internships and learn more than you ever could have dreamed possible by working with other student journalists on The Franklin and thefranklinonline.com, Franklin College's award-winning student newspaper and accompanying multimedia news site.
The Statehouse File
The Pulliam School of Journalism established the Franklin College Statehouse Bureau 10 years ago to train young journalists and provide more government and political coverage to Indiana news organizations. See current students' work at www.thestatehousefile.com.
Students who work at our campus radio station find themselves in a learning laboratory with a live audience. They will begin to hone the skills at WFCI that will make them stand out in the competitive world of broadcast journalism.

Ideally, what journalism students learn in the classroom should be tested and expanded by experience in the field. This is why the Pulliam School of Journalism stresses the importance of internships. Many of these internships are as close as Indiana, but a lot of other options exist. In recent years, students have interned at newspapers as big as USA Today and as small as a rural daily.
Students have worked ABC World News Tonight, for television stations in Baltimore and West Palm Beach, and for the Scripps Howard News Service in Washington, D.C. The PSJ has its own internship/placement adviser, who will help you find internships— and jobs after graduation.
The PSJ also has a strong placement rate for its graduates, both among those who move into traditional media roles at newspapers and television stations and those who seek jobs in multimedia, graphic design and other communications fields. In particular, editors across the state regularly request graduates of the college's Statehouse reporting program.
Our graduates are now working at CNN.com in Washington D.C., WRTV-Channel 6 in Indianapolis, CNN.com in Japan, Clear Channel Outdoor and at Indiana newspapers all over the state in markets large and small. Others have moved into public relations roles at prominent organizations across the state and into government and political consulting roles.
Our goal is not just to move students into jobs after graduation – but to help them find the right place to launch their careers.

Brilliant Beethoven By The Emerson Quartet
*a weekly guide to essential classics*
Ted Libbey and Fred Child Recommend The Beethoven String Quartets
Hear The Music
String Quartets (6), Op. 18
String Quartets (3) ("Razumovsky"), Op. 59
String Quartet No. 11 in F minor ("Serioso"), Op. 95
String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135
By the time Ludwig van Beethoven appeared on the scene, the string quartet had become an established, refined genre, the only one whose expressive flexibility and tonal perfection could rival that of the human voice. Whereas in his orchestral and piano works Beethoven often fought against the limitations of the medium, his writing for string quartet is almost always idiomatic. He was drawn to the sound of the genre, and from the start he treated sound as a component of form, stretching out textures until they took on a value of their own. But the fact that Beethoven wrote idiomatically does not mean he was always graceful.
Beethoven composed the six quartets of Opus 18 before he reached his 30th year. Considering their place in history – following close on the heels of the supreme achievements of Haydn and Mozart – and their place in Beethoven's output, they are works of tremendous accomplishment.
The Razumovsky quartets were commissioned toward the end of 1805 and completed within a year. It is hard to imagine that their initial reception could have been so discouraging, yet the compositions provoked consternation and ridicule, even among Beethoven's musically literate friends. At least one perceptive critic reported of these works that "the conception is profound and the construction excellent, but they are not easily comprehended – with the possible exception of the third in C major, which cannot but appeal to intelligent lovers of music because of its originality, melody and harmonic power."
During his later years, Beethoven's need to pose new challenges to his creativity was as great as it had been at any point in his life. He felt obliged, as the musicologist Maynard Solomon has put it, "to test his powers against the restraints of the Classic model." What Beethoven found in the process was a new means to communicate feeling and thought. This communicativeness is at the heart of Beethoven's late works for string quartet.
Defying Difficulties
The Emerson String Quartet has been together for more than 30 years, and the players are very serious musicians who put a lot of effort into this recording, Beethoven: The String Quartets, which ended up earning them a Grammy Award. They played these works for many years before sitting down to record them, and they approach the music with the intent of staying true to what Beethoven wanted and what he expected from the performers.
In his string quartets, as elsewhere, Beethoven was interested in difficulty. But the Emersons are so technically proficient that they can play the most demanding passages cleanly. These musicians perform at the highest level, and this seven-CD set highlights their brilliance and sheer ability.

WASHINGTON, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Visiting South Korean President Park Geun-hye Wednesday urged Japan to face history honestly for the good of Northeast Asia.
"Those who are blind to the past cannot see the future," Park said in an address to the U.S. Congress, a day after meeting with President Barack Obama.
"This is obviously a problem for here and now. But the larger issue is about tomorrow," she said, adding "for where there is failure to acknowledge honestly what happened yesterday, there can be no tomorrow."...

Awesome punch! I served at my annual Christmas party this year, and I had several people ask what was in it. (I did omit the almond extract--personal preference) One guest's words were, "This punch is exquisite." Thanks for keeper!
This was a hit at my Fourth of July party! The only thing I would change is to decrease the amount of sugar by 1/2 cup. With the sugars from the juices and the ginger ale, I thought the punch was a bit too sweet. I also added ice cube stars made from cranberry juice to the punch for a bit of color!
Great punch for any celebration! Delicious!!!

Code Generation and Reverse Engineering[edit]
BOUML can automatically generate code from the UML Class Diagrams and rebuild them from existing source code using the following languages: C++, Java, PHP, MYSQL. It can also generate code for Python and IDL, but not extract the UML model for these languages.
In September 2010, its developer Bruno Pagès announced that he was ceasing work on BOUML other than bug fixes due to "copyright violations and mismanagement from wikipedia administrators".[2][3]
The version 4.23 named "ultimate" was distributed in November 2010,[4] after which it was announced that no more updates would be released.[2] However, several patches were released after the announcement, the last being BOUML 4.23 ultimate patch 7 in October 2011.[4]
In February 2012, version 5 was released as the first paid-for version. It has a new file format, but is backwards compatible in that version 5 can read project files saved by the old versions.[5]
In August 2012, version 6 was released as the first version managing MySQL. Being backwards compatible in that version 6 can read project files saved by the old versions.

Hi there,
Since installing 2014-theme on my blog ( http://www.plezierindekeuken.nl/ ) I have a very strange issue for which I cannot find a solution anywhere.
The problem is this:
When I go to my blog using Firefox on a desktop I am served the (static) frontpage in desktop modus: all fine.
When using any different browser on a desktop the frontpage shows it' s mobile version, but after clicking any link and going to a sub-page suddenly the browsers switch to the desktop-version of my blog with the menu on the left, as it is supposed to look.
So why only the frontpage and why is Firefox not affected by this issue and how to fix this?
It's not only an issue on my PC; everywhere I try it's the same, visitors of my blog tell me it's the same for them: frontpage is served as if they are on a mobile device, the rest of the pages are fine and treat their browser as a desktop browser.
Any help is welcome, I am totally clueless.

Strong Motion
A Novel
By Jonathan Franzen
PicadorCopyright © 1992 Jonathan Franzen
All rights reserved.
Sometimes when people asked Eileen Holland if she had any brothers or sisters, she had to think for a moment.
In grade school she and her friends had played foursquare during recess, and when fights broke out in far corners of the playground, it usually turned out that the person whose face was being smashed into the blacktop was her younger brother, Louis. She and her friends would continue to bounce their ball from square to square. They were skipping rope the day Louis fought a boy on the top tier of the old tetanus-infested jungle gym and damaged a different part of himself on each of the pipes he hit during his fall, breaking off his front teeth on level three, bruising his ribs on level two, getting a concussion by impact and whiplash on level one, and stunning his diaphragm on the asphalt. Eileen's friends ran to look at the possibly dead boy. She was left holding the jump rope and feeling as if she'd fallen and no one would help her.
Eileen was a faithful and pretty image of her mother, with astonished dark eyes and pencil-thin eyebrows, a high forehead and plump cheeks and straight dark hair. She had the limbs of a willow tree and sometimes she even swayed like one, with her eyes closed, when she was so happy to be among her friends that she forgot they were there.
Louis, like his father, was less ornamental. From the age of ten onward he wore aviator-style glasses whose metal frames vaguely matched his hair, which was curly and the color of old brass screws, and was thinning by the time he finished high school. His father had also donated a barrel chest to his genetics. In junior high and high school new friends of Eileen's expected to be told. "No, no relation," when they asked her if Louis Holland was her brother. To Eileen these questions were like vaccination shots. The soothing alcohol swab that followed was her friends' avowal that her brother was not like her at all.
"Yeah," she'd agree, "we're real different."
The young Hollands grew up in Evanston, Illinois, in the shadow of Northwestern University, which employed their father as a history professor. Once in a while, in the afternoon, Eileen caught sight of Louis in a booth at McDonald's surrounded by the misfits he hung out with, their snide menu selections, their cigarettes and pasty faces and military clothing. The negativity emanating from his booth made her feel like she couldn't wedge herself tightly enough between the elbows of her peers. She was, she told herself, very different from Louis. But she was never entirely safe from him. Even in the middle of a jammed and laughing back seat she would glance out a window just in time to see her brother striding along the trashy shoulder of some six-lane suburban thoroughfare, his white shirt gray with sweat, his glasses white with road glare. It always seemed that he was there for her alone to see, an apparition from that parallel private world which she herself had stopped living in when she started having friends but which Louis still obviously inhabited: the world where you were by yourself.
One day in the summer before she started college she suddenly needed to use the family car to see her boyfriend Judd, who lived farther up the Lake Michigan shore in Lake Forest. When Louis pointed out that he'd reserved the car a week earlier, she became furious with him, the way a person gets with an inanimate object that she keeps dropping and mishandling. Finally she made her mother go ask Louis to be selfless, just this once, and let her use the car to visit her boyfriend. When she got to Judd's house she was still so furious that she left the keys in the ignition. The car was promptly stolen.
The Lake Forest police were not particularly nice to her. Her mother was even less nice, on the telephone. And Louis, when she finally got home, came down the stairs in a diver's mask.
"Eileen," her mother said. "Honey. You let the car roll in the lake. Nobody stole the car. I just got a call from Mrs. Wolstetter. You didn't set the emergency brake and you didn't put the car in Park. It rolled across the Wolstetters' lawn into the lake."
"Park, Eileen?" Louis's voice was glassed-in and adenoidal. "The little 'P' on the far left? N for Neutral? P for Park?"
"Louis," their mother said.
"Or is it N for No and P for ... Proceed? D for Desist?"
After this trauma Eileen could no longer retain information about where Louis was or what he was doing. She knew he went to school in Houston and was majoring in something like electrical engineering, but when her mother alluded to him on the telephone, perhaps to mention that he'd changed his major, the room Eileen was calling from suddenly got noisy. She couldn't remember what her mother had just said. She had to ask, "So he's majoring in — what now?" And the room got noisy again! She couldn't remember what her mother was saying even as she said it! And so she never did figure out what Louis was majoring in. When she saw him during Christmas vacation of her second year of graduate school — she was getting her MBA from Harvard — she had to make a wild guess about what he'd been doing since he graduated from Rice: "Mom tells me you're, like, designing microchips?"
He stared at her.
She shook her head no no no no, cancel that. "Tell me what you're doing," she said humbly.
"I'm staring at you in amazement."
Later her mother told her he was working for an FM radio station in Houston.
Eileen lived near Central Square in Cambridge. Her apartment was on the eighth floor of a modern high-rise, a tower of concrete that loomed above the ambient brick and clapboard like a thing that had failed to erode, with shops and a fish restaurant in the basement. She was at home making triple-fudge brownies one night at the end of March when Louis, whom she'd last seen reading a crime novel by the Christmas tree in Evanston, called her up and informed her that he'd moved from Houston to the town of Somerville, Cambridge's budget-class neighbor to the north. She asked what had brought him to Somerville. Microchips, he said.
The person who walked into her apartment a few days later, on a raw late-winter night, was effectively a stranger. At twenty-three, Louis was nearly bald on top, with just enough curls remaining to have captured sleet. His crude black oxfords squeaked on Eileen's linoleum as he walked around her kitchen in a star-shaped path, slowly ricocheting off the counters. His cheeks and nose were red and his glasses were white with fog.
"This is so contemporary," he said, meaning the apartment.
Eileen pressed her elbows to her sides and crossed her wrists on her chest. She had all four stove burners going full blast and a pot simmering on one of them. "Can't keep it warm enough," she said. She was wearing a bulky sweater, fluffy slippers, and a miniskirt. "I think they turn the furnace off on April first."
Her doorbell rang. She buzzed. "It's Peter," she said.
"My boyfriend."
Soon there was a knock on the door, and she led the boyfriend, Peter Stoorhuys, into the kitchen. Peter's lips were blue with cold, and his skin, which was suntanned, was a leaden gray. He hopped up and down, his hands in the pockets of his twills, while Eileen made introductions that he was evidently too frozen to pay attention to. "Shit," he said, crouching by the stove. "It's cold out there."
There was a tiredness to Peter's face that no suntan could conceal. It was one of those urban faces that had been reconceived so many times that the skin, like a piece of paper smudged and abraded by multiple erasures, had lost its capacity to hold a clear image. Beneath the shadings of his current neo-Angeleno look were visible traces of a yuppie, a punk, a preppie, and a head. Repeated changes of style, like too much combing, had sapped his long blond hair of its resilience. For weather protection he was wearing a houndstooth jacket and a collarless shirt.
"Peter and I were in St. Kitts last month," Eileen explained to Louis. "We still haven't readjusted."
Peter put his white-knuckled hands over two burners on the stove and toasted them, investing this warming process with such importance that there was little Eileen and Louis could do but look at him.
"He looks like a total sillybird in hats," Eileen said.
"I find coats useful in this regard," Louis said, dropping his fiberfill jacket in a corner. He was dressed in his uniform of the last eight years, a white shirt and black jeans.
"You see, that's the thing," Eileen said. "His favorite coat is at the cleaner's. Is that a silly place for it to be?"
It was another five minutes before Peter was thawed enough to allow them all to retire to the living room. Eileen curled up on the sofa, pulling the hem of her sweater down over her bare knees and draping one arm over the back of the sofa just in time to receive the glass of whiskey Peter had poured her. Louis paced around the room, stopping to bring his face myopically close to books and other consumer goods. All of the apartment's furnishings were new and most were combinations of white planes, black cylinders, and cherry-red plastic hardware.
"So, Louis," Peter said, joining Eileen with a whiskey. "Tell us a little about yourself."
Louis was examining the VCR's remote-control box. In the big steamed windows the distant lights of Harvard Square formed halos the color of mother-of-pearl.
"You're in communications," Peter prompted.
"I work for a radio station," Louis said in a very slow and very level voice. "It's called WSNE ...? News with a Twist ...?"
"Sure," Peter said. "I'm familiar with it. Not that I ever listen, but I've dealt with them a couple times. In fact I understand they're in some doo-doo, financially. Not to say that's not the norm for a thousand-watt station. One thing I'd suggest is try to get paid at the end of every week, and whatever you do don't let 'em involve you in any kind of ownership scheme —"
"Oh I won't," Louis said, so earnestly it would have made an observant person wary.
"I mean, go ahead if you want," Peter continued. "But, uh — a word to the wise."
"Peter sells ad space for Boston magazine," Eileen said.
"Among other things," Peter said.
"He's thinking of applying to the business school in the fall. Not that he hardly even needs to. He knows so much stuff, Louis. He knows tons more than I do."
"Do you know how to listen?" Louis said suddenly.
Peter's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
"Do you know how to listen when you've asked somebody a question about themself?"
Peter turned to Eileen to consult about this remark. He seemed to have some doubts concerning its purport. Eileen jumped to her feet. "He was just giving you some advice, Louis. We all have lots of time to listen to each other. We're all very interested in — each other! I'm going to get some breadsticks."
As soon as she was out of the room, Louis sat down on the sofa and put his hand on Peter's shoulder, his ruddy face right next to Peter's ear. "Hey, friend," he said. "I have some advice for you too."
Peter stared straight ahead, his eyes widening a little at the pressure of a swallowed smile. Louis leaned even closer. "Don't you want to hear my advice?"
"You've got some problem," Peter observed.
"Wear coats!"
"Louis?" Eileen called from the kitchen. "Are you being strange to Peter?"
Louis thumped Peter's knee and went around behind the sofa. On the floor, on a folded-out newspaper, was a cage in which a gerbil was availing itself of an exercise wheel. The gerbil ran haltingly, pausing to stumble with its microscopic toenails on a crossbar, then galloping onward with its head high and its neck turned to one side. It didn't seem to be enjoying itself.
"You silly bird." Eileen had returned from the kitchen with a faceted beer mug full of breadsticks. She handed them to Peter. "I keep telling Peter our whole family's wacko. I've been warning him since the day we met not to take it personally." With breathtaking suddenness and fluidity she dropped to her knees and, unlatching the door of the cage, extracted the gerbil by its tail. She raised it above her head and peered up at its twitching nose. Its front paws clawed the air ineffectually. "Isn't that right, Milton Friedman?" She opened her mouth like a wolf, as if to bite its head off. Then she lowered it onto her upturned palm and it ran up the sleeve of her sweater to her shoulder, where she recaptured it and boxed it in her hands so that only its whiskered, pointed face stuck out. "Say hi to my brother Louis?" She thrust the gerbil's face up close to Louis's. It looked like a furry penis with eyes.
"Hello, rodent," he said.
"What's that?" She brought the gerbil to her ear and listened closely. "He says hello, person. Hello to Uncle Louis." She popped the animal back in the cage and latched the door. Still anthropomorphized but free now, it seemed imbecilic or rude as it ran to the tube of its water bottle and nibbled on a droplet. For a moment longer Eileen remained kneeling, hands pressing on her knees, head tilted to one side as if she had water in her ear. Then with the fluid quickness at which Louis was visibly marveling she went and rejoined Peter on the sofa with a bounce. "Peter and Milton Friedman," she said. "Are not on the best of terms right now. Milton Friedman did number one on some poplin trousers that Peter was very attached to."
"How funny," Louis said. "How terribly, terribly funny."
"I think I'm going to take off," Peter said.
"Oh come on, be patient," Eileen said. "Louis is just protective. You're my boyfriend but he's my brother. You guys will just have to get along. Have to put-choo in the same cage together. You can have the wheel to walk on, Louis, and I'll put some Chivas in the bottle for my little sozzlebird. Ha ha ha!" Eileen laughed. "We'll get Milton Friedman some poplin trousers!"
Peter drained his glass and rose. "I'm going to get going."
"OK, I'm being a little hard to take," Eileen said in a completely different voice. "I'll stop. Let's loosen up. Let's be adults."
"You be adults," Peter said. "I've got work to do."
Without looking back, he left the room and the apartment.
"Oh great," Eileen said. "Thanks." She dropped her head back over the top of the sofa and looked at Louis with upside-down eyes. Her narrow eyebrows were like unbreathing lips, and without brows above them the eyes had an expression foreign to the human vocabulary, an oracular strangeness. "What'd you say to him?"
"I told him he should wear coats."
"Real cute, Louis." She stood up and put some boots on. "What's wrong with you?" She ran down the hall and out the door.
Louis observed her departure with little interest. He wiped a porthole in the condensation on the window and looked down at the taillight-pinkened sleet that was falling on Mass Ave. The telephone rang.
He went to the communications equipment, which sat on its own little table, and ran his eyes over it as if it were a buffet where nothing appealed to him. Finally, after the fifth ring, the machine not coming on, he picked up the receiver. "Hello?"
"Peter?" The speaker was an old woman with a tremor in her voice. "Peter, I've been trying and trying —"
"This isn't Peter."
There was an uneasy rustle. Muttering an apology, the woman asked for Eileen. Louis offered to take a message.
"Who's this?" the woman asked.
"This is Eileen's brother. Louis."
"Louis? Well, for goodness' sake. This is Grandmother."
He stared at the window for a long time. "Who?" he said.
"Rita Kernaghan. Grandmother."
"Oh. Hey. Grandmother. Hey."
"I don't believe we've met but once."
Belatedly Louis recalled an image, the image of a potbellied woman with a painted kitty-cat face who was already seated at a table at the Berghoff, in Chicago on a snowy evening, when he and his parents and Eileen trooped in. This was some seven years ago — about a year after his mother had flown to Boston for her father's funeral. Of the Berghoff dinner he remembered nothing but a plate of braised rabbit with potato pancakes. And Rita Kernaghan touching Eileen's hair and calling her a doll? Or was this some other dinner, some other old woman, or maybe a dream?
Not grandmother: step-grandmother.
"Yes," he said. "I remember. You live around here."
"Just outside Ipswich, yes. You're visiting your sister?"

I've read everything by Jonathan Franzen and just about everything about him, and this is the best novel he's written. The love story between these two keeps you turning the pages as Franzen sweeps you away with his killer writing style. Days will pass when nothing but the images of this book will cross your mind. Franzen has the ability to take us away, and in the process, show us where we were and where we might be going. This isn't a good love story, it's far far better.
This was just well put together with believable characters. He hasn't failed me on this my third of stories
The writing is increrdible but not everyone will like the book.
Ok! I got dips on res five! Ill be the Advice giver for the peeps that are unsure whether a guy/girl likes them!!

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Supposedly taking place in an "all-girl Webcam house," this un-thrilling lez excursion from Brittney Skye is rife with long, pointless sequences of girls goofing around, very haphazard editing (why would you throw a random insert into a scene just getting started of a girl making a throwaway comment to the camera?) and entirely too much toy usage.
The only scene really worth a damn, actually, doesn't occur until nearly an hour and a half in, and it's between Nadia Styles, Gina Austin and Dragon Lily. Finally, you get some serious pussy-licking going on (and between chicks who seem truly into it, we might add). For that, this is worth a look-see.
Retailing: Lez lovers will be drawn to it like moths to a flame.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass' Tenacious D plot new album for 2011
Tenacious D -- the musical project from Jack Black and Kyle Gass -- is plotting a new album for 2011, and it seems it will be covering everybody's favorite topics.
"We're gonna be talking about love, there are gonna be some songs about sex and there's gonna be songs about food," Black told Spinner.
He warned not to look for the set until later on this year, but at least they've spent some time thoughtfully gestating. "We're in the middle of recording it. We're about halfway through the writing process. We need another few months," he said.
This news comes about the same time that Black has been promoting his new "Gulliver's Travels" film -- and weeks after he and "Gulliver's" co-star and "Muppets" master Jason Segel teamed for that remake of Bing and Bowie's "Little Drummer Boy." He says that Segel has more "funny songs" of his own in his "arsenal."
So with the news that the D is back in effect, could there be another movie? The band's "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny" and accompanying soundtrack didn't fare so hot with the critics on either side of art, but that doesn't mean the thought of another chance at big screen greatness hasn't crossed Black's mind.
"[The new album] is strictly a musical endeavor, but I would not rule out another film. Although it would probably be on the lower-budge."
Tenacious D headlined at Bonnaroo last summer and played only a few other shows in 2010.

As you can see, both entry 2 and 3 are my own site. But the problem is that entry #3 is my blog post, while entry #2 is just a link to the image file used in the blog post. I know that Google penalizes sites that do this sort of thing, and I also think it just reflects badly on the design of my site.
Can anyone help me figure out how to exclude these "subpages" of posts from being indexed? I don't mind the images themselves being indexed by Google images, but I don't want them to showing up as separate posts in web searches, taking away hits from my actual blog posts and possibly risking some kind of pagerank violation by Google. If nothing else, too, it's just sloppy-looking.
Any ideas?
