I confess I lifted this off the Sumairu Puffy site. But I think whoever posted it there was writing about something unrelated.
I know I've seen this before, but I can't place when or where. It was obviously on a Hit & Run site at one point, probably Puffy's official site. Anybody know what's going on in this photo? Refresh my memory.
I wish we'd see more of Puffy playing instruments these days, and I'm digging their back-to-basics style here too. It must have been a few years ago, judging by the hair and clothing. CONTINUED >>

PUFFY Interview on iNNO.
There's a lengthy interview with PUFFY up on Microsoft's iNNO. site in Japan. It's all in Japanese, of course, so if you're an English speaker you'll want to get out your thinking cap so you can translate Google's translation.
There's some good stuff on pages 1 and 2, but unfortunately to view page 3 and 4 you must be a member of "Club Microsoft". Ok, who wants to be the guinea pig?
It appears to have been done on the same day as Excite's close-up, for reasons which I think are obvious. CONTINUED >>

All Because of You Live
I've been sitting on a couple of these videos for a few days and other people went and posted 'em first. I may as well still link to them here.
You've seen the promotional video, now check out PUFFY singing "All Because of You" live (more or less).
Music Fair:
Hey! Hey! Hey!:
Music Japan (with a bit of interview at the top):
Aspect ratio's off on that last one. Annoying.
I'm trying not to be too negative about it but I think the weakness of the song really shows when it's played live. It just sounds awkward. I think the measure of any band is really how they sound live, and that's true of songs as well. PUFFY is a great live band, but this is not a great live song.
I'm looking for something that I can feel excited about posting again... CONTINUED >>

All Because of You Single Review
The CD
I tried to give "All Because of You" a chance. I really did. I tried not to comment on it (much) after posting a link to the video, and I've now listened to it repeatedly on CD. But it just sounds wrong, in a way that's hard to put my finger on, or maybe in several small ways that add up to a song that actually feels kind of icky. Maybe writing it out stream-of-consciousness style will help pinpoint the issues.
Track listing:
1. All Because of You (words & music: Butch Walker/Avril Lavigne)
2. Frontier no Pioneer (words & music: Tamio Okuda)
3. Closet Full of Love (Ryukyudisko mix)
There's been a lot of talk about what PUFFY are trying to accomplish with a track written by Avril Lavigne. Well, first, judging by the similarity between this track and previous Butch Walker tracks, I think it's obvious that Walker actually did most of the work - as he probably does with his songs for Avril herself. The lyrics, though, are clearly written from a teenage girl's point of view, so that was probably Avril's contribution. (She's older than that, but doesn't act or write like it very often.) It's being marketed as a track written by Avril Lavigne, obviously because of her popularity - and she's actually more popular in Japan than she is here.
I think that it's pretty likely that this track is intended to boost sales in Japan, and not necessarily the United States. And it does seem to be succeeding in getting them more TV and radio attention than they have been with their recent singles. So more power to them on that front, I guess. But I feel like they sold a bit of their souls to get there.
It's a catchy tune, I'll give it that... in a way that a lot of advertising jingles are. I can see this being sung in a shampoo commercial, or maybe laundry detergent, as a smiling housewife (or househusband!) waggles her finger at a stain on a shirt and sings "it's all because of you!" before tossing it in the washing machine and dumping a cup full of Tide onto it. It's a song that sounds overly calculated, completely inorganic, created by computer and designed to be a hit. A lot of PUFFY's songs have been hits - maybe not so much lately - but they've never sounded like they were trying so hard at it. They just were. PUFFY have always been a pop band, but they've never been this kind of pop band. I mean, there's the Foo Fighters and then there's Britney Spears, you know? (Ok, that's a little extreme on both ends, but you get the point.)
Part of it is the production, which is probably Butch Walker's first big miss with PUFFY, and in such a way that it's actually forced me to re-evaluate his earlier work with the group. The biggest problem from a technical standpoint is the vocals, which are heavily manipulated in that "Believe" by Cher sort of way - probably not the song that PUFFY were hoping to be compared to. ProTools is becoming the sonic equivalent of Photoshop, and it can be used for good or evil. In this case, I think the processing shows a lack of confidence in the girls' vocals, which is a sin considering that singing is what they're getting paid to do and what their fans want to hear.
I also don't hear Yumi at all on the track - this may as well be Ami solo (if Yumi's there, she's pretty far down in the mix). No surprise, really, as it's consistent with their other English songs, but I'm not convinced Ami didn't get some "extra help" on the track too. Her pronunciation of certain words ("you", for example) is very sort of American emo singer-sounding, and she doesn't pronounce them that way when singing the song live. I still think it's possible there is a backing track beneath her vocals, and I do hear another voice during the chorus that doesn't sound like either of them. Is it Avril? The credits in the liner notes are pretty basic, so we'll probably never know.
A few people have said the song just doesn't sound very much like PUFFY, and while I'd agree with that, I don't think that's necessarily the problem. PUFFY have changed a lot over the years and still, almost everything they've done has been great. It's not the fact that this song is different that bothers me; it's that it's almost cynical. It's one of those songs that seems to have been written by formula, produced in such a way that sucks all the humanity out, with trite lyrics about a teen romance that don't really seem appropriate for thirty-something women to be singing, and where the artists themselves are barely even recognizable in the song.
The ironic thing is that it's paired with "Frontier no Pioneer", a vastly superior song that also does happen to sound like PUFFY, obviously having been written by Tamio Okuda (long-time PUFFY producer and etc. etc. etc.). It really would have been the A-side to the single if there was any justice in the world. "Frontier no Pioneer" is not a new song, and it's technically a cover as Okuda recorded it himself, but then what is and isn't a "cover" between PUFFY and Tamio is always kind of a grey area. At a certain point, they're just songs that he's written and that both of them have recorded. Sometimes he goes first, sometimes PUFFY does.
I've heard Tamio sing "Frontier no Pioneer", and it is a great, great rock song - sort of laid back and mid-tempo in the way that most of his own songs are, and based completely around the electric guitar as he plays it. PUFFY's version is arranged a little differently, and in a different key to match the girls' higher voices. The electric guitars are replaced with acoustics and piano, and there's a little bit of synthesizer in the background that's mostly unobtrusive but was probably still unnecessary. PUFFY's version is different, but still recognizable, it's still got a great sound and melody, and it's still a rock song - just a little less heavy. And unlike "All Because of You", there's no obvious vocal manipulation going on in the production. The whole thing is as organic and natural as "All Because of You" isn't. They're polar opposites.
Well, c'est la vie. Maybe at this stage of PUFFY's career, we've got to accept a certain number of All Because of Yous if it gets us a few more Frontier no Pioneers. I realize the band needs to remain financially viable.
Rounding out the CD is Ryukyudisko's remix of "Closet Full of Love", which as far as I know was previously only available as a download through Sony's web site for a limited number of people. It's fine as remixes go - at the very least, it doesn't completely destroy the original song as some remixes can. It's still basically "Closet Full of Love", just with a dance beat and lots of breakdowns. There's no real staying power, though, and as with most remixes, it really just makes me want to hear the actual song.
The DVD
Included with the Special Edition single that I got, and that I suspect most of you would be interested in, is a DVD containing four songs from PUFFY's performance at Shibuya AX last December - the last performance of their Honeysweeper tour. This is a great extra, and easily worth the couple hundred extra yen it costs on top of the standard version of the single (which does not come with a DVD). Here's the track listing:
1. boom boom beat
2. Tokyo I'm on My Way
3. Kimi to Autobike
4. Circuit no Musume
I'm not a huge fan of "boom boom beat" but I have to admit, it rocks pretty hard in a live setting. I've seen them perform it on TV, but you know, Japanese music TV shows are picking up some bad habits from America - most of the time these days, it seems like the band isn't really playing, and there are always at least various pre-recorded bits. So this is the first time I've heard it really live, and it makes a huge difference to the song.
The big highlight for me, though, is "Kimi to Autobike", which is probably my favorite track from honeycreeper (it is, in fact, my current cell phone ringtone), and it's a really powerful, heavy song live. I gotta say I have no idea what the song's actually about, but it's got a pretty dark sound, and it's a different sort of feel from most PUFFY songs in concert. They're not jumping around like they usually do while playing it (not even a bunny hop at the end!), and they both sing it just as earnestly as they do on honeycreeper. It's all very serious, but with the tempo of the song and the driving rhythm, the tension really builds over the course of the song. And they sound great vocally - that exaggerated vibrato and everything. I can't wait to see them play this live in person someday.
The other two tracks are pretty known quantities - "Circuit no Musume" is a staple of all their concerts, and "Tokyo I'm on My Way" has been for the last couple years. They play them as well as ever, but it's hard for me to get as excited about them as I used to. ("Tokyo I'm on My Way" is not old, but it's not my favorite song of theirs.)
Here are a few screen grabs:
Think maybe it's time for a haircut?
This is apparently Volume 1 of 3, according to the official web site. A few thoughts on that:
1. I think they may end up doing the full concert by the time they're done - it was obviously a major production. It's 16:9 enhanced and seems to have been shot in HD from a dozen or more cameras (obvious by the fact that certain close-in shots were not shot in HD, and the difference is clear). I doubt they'd have gone to the trouble to only release a portion of the show. It looks like a real concert DVD.
2. There will be 1 or 2 more singles in the coming months, which means...
3. There will be a new album fairly shortly. Ami supposedly alluded to this in a blog post a while back, but this is just more evidence. A one-off single doesn't usually mean anything, but a run of singles generally precedes an album release in Japan. That would be the perfect way to close out the video extras, too - you need to buy the album to have the "complete" Shibuya AX show DVD collection.
Really hard to assign any final grades when the quality here varies so widely. The single as a whole would be fine if "All Because of You" were simply left off of it. But it's the A-side, so as it is I have to weigh it more heavily than the rest. Regardless of the grades I'm giving, this single is worth buying both for "Frontier no Pioneer" and for "Kimi to Autobike" live.
Final Grades
Music: C+
Performance: B-
Production: C
Lowest grades I've given a PUFFY release. Sorry, girls - it's not your fault.

In da house!
In the hands of this American before it's on sale in Japan. The world has turned upside down, I tell you. Guess it's all that red, white and blue on the cover.
A couple pics of the interior:
Cute. Though not sure I'm actually a fan of the stars & stripes motif. Seems a little overdone.
I got the special edition with the DVD. The regular version has a blue cover with a slightly different cover photo. Not sure what it's like on the inside. It obviously doesn't have this:
Tantalizingly, the DVD portion is labeled "Volume 1". Obviously, that implies more volumes planned.
Full review coming very shortly!

Puffy on Hey! Hey! Hey! All Because of You Live
Second post today, and guess what? Not the last. Oh yes, there's more!
Not sure who actually posted this to YouTube (I have my suspicions), but here's PUFFY on Japanese music show "Hey! Hey! Hey!" today. The dude who put this up works fast! Be sure to stick around for the first live performance I've seen (though not the first televised) of "All Because of You".
The fallout from their infamous Jimmy Kimmel Live interview continues, almost four years on. I'm actually really curious what they're saying about it.
I feel bad for the guy, though. He clearly wasn't prepared - my guess is they were a last-minute sub and were maybe intended originally just to be a musical guest. And that's gotta be a hard interview even under the best circumstances, given the language barrier and the live TV setting. But man, some people are better at improvising than others, I guess.
Little update: Ami and Yumi also think he had no idea who they were. A lot of their banter is about how Ami's the only one that got a good chair - and Ami thought she had to be the interpreter. It was obviously an awkward interview for them. CONTINUED >>

Excite Music Puffy Close-up
It's all Japanese, but Excite Japan - which is much more of a portal (and much bigger) than Excite is in the US - has posted a "close-up" on PUFFY that includes a long interview, a new video, and some more junk. Click the tabs at the top of the lower section of the page for the different sections. I've tried translating the interview and it's coming out mostly unintelligible - not sure if they're using funky Japanese or if Google's just having a bad day. I'll see if I can get the gist of some of what they're saying later - though obviously, it's all about "All Because of You" and how it came to be.
btw, props to Ami for the David Bowie t-shirt!
There have been some recent TV appearances as well - I'm working on getting some clips, or if I see that anyone else has posted any, I'll link to them here.
UPDATE: Well waddya know, here's one now - bonus video of "Oriental Diamond" from Music Fair on 5/17!
I also got notice this morning that CD Japan has shipped my copy of "All Because of You" two days early, so hopefully I'll have it on the actual release date. I'll be posting my review shortly afterwards. CONTINUED >>

CQA - Yumi's Side Project - is Having a Concert
Heads up for those of you in Japan. The on-again, off-again side project band CQA, with Yumi Yoshimura on lead vocals, is having their first concert in three years on May 18. They'll be appearing at the Chelsea Hotel in Tokyo alongside Poni-Camp and The Husky.
Supposedly it's a sold out show, but who knows, do scalpers exist in Japan? I really have no idea. Why not head down to the venue and see if they're selling tickets on the day of the show?
Wish I could go - it'd be interesting (to say the least) to see Yumi singing solo lead in another rock band. Their MySpace page says they're all "too busy" to do much with the band at this point, so this will probably be your only chance for a while.
Somebody did approve my MySpace friend request pretty quick, though... so one of them is probably maintaining that page. (They're unsigned, so I doubt they have a staff.)
btw, thanks to yom1970 for originally letting the non-Japanese speakers among us know about this.
UPDATE: It's now after the 18th - anyone go? CONTINUED >>

Today is Puffy's 12th Birthday
I suppose next year I'll have to come up with a more imaginative title for this post, but today is "officially" Puffy's birthday. On this day in 1996, Puffy released their first single "Asia no Junshin", and they haven't stopped singing it since.
12 years. It's a long time in the Japanese music business, which can be as fickle as a cat in heat. It's really hard for me to believe that it's been that long, just like it's hard for me to believe my first trip to Japan was nearly ten years ago now. I refuse to believe I'm in my thirties.
I knew about Puffy shortly after their first album was released; I came across them in the course of my work. Saw pictures, heard some song snippets, didn't really think much of them. Disposable, I thought, like so many other young female Japanese idols. Three years later, I was in Japan and saw one of their videos in my hotel room - I think it was "Puffy de Rumba" or something, and it didn't do much to sway my opinion. My next trip was right around the release of the "Hurricane" single, which I also caught at my hotel (I've now got a pretty strong mental association between Puffy and the Makuhari Prince). I remember thinking "man, they've gotten a lot cuter over the years" before realizing that the phrase "over the years" was already kind of an amazing thing to be thinking about a musical act like this. I started to respect them, as I do anyone who displays obvious staying power, whether it be Ayumi Hamasaki or Madonna. They've obviously got something that people want.
But I still wasn't swayed by the music.
Problem was I really hadn't heard any of what I now consider their best stuff, which often isn't the singles. And they were still doing a lot of weird things in those days - it was probably tough picking a really representative song to make a video out of. A rumba was as Puffy-ish as anything else.
In 2004, the buzz for "Hi Hi" started picking up steam in the United States, and I read an article in I believe the New York Daily News that had me both amazed that they were making the trip across the Pacific and that in fact they were still around at all. (It was accompanied by one of my favorite photos of them, which didn't hurt.) I read it with interest despite not knowing or caring about their music at that point - I was more curious about the story behind it all. Some of what I'd read made me wonder if I'd misjudged them, or if they'd simply changed.
Shortly afterwards, the "Hi Hi" web site launched, and one of the things it did was auto-play a rotation of "Planet Tokyo", "Friends Forever" and I believe "K2G". Despite the corny English lyrics of the first two, I was basically blown away. I looked at their official web site and checked out some of the promo photos of them, which at that time had them decked out as indie rock chicks. I remember an almost physical feeling of disappointment that I'd apparently been missing out on this for eight years already, that I apparently just didn't "get it" before then. (I had also just missed their US debut tour.) They were always just what I was looking for in music, and I just hadn't known or seen it.
My first two Puffy albums were, I'm almost embarrassed to say, An Illustrated History and the Hi Hi soundtrack. I just felt like I needed to get caught up, man, and fast. But I realized then how much they had changed over the years, and they've changed a lot again in the four or so years that I've been actively following them. I'm sure they would certainly argue that it's how they stay fresh and relevant... but then I wonder why they still sing "Asia no Junshin" whenever they're on TV. There are obviously a lot of people that still see them, or want to see them, the way they were in 1996.
Anyway, their ten year anniversary was a big deal for them, as it should have been. But each passing year now is no less of a feat, I think, and it'll be pretty unbelievable if we're sitting here in 2016 talking about 20 years of Puffy. But it's starting to look more and more possible.
Happy birthday, Puffy! CONTINUED >>

All Because of You Exists
Ami and Yumi have their copies:
Pretty early! Wonder what the delay is in actually getting them to stores. What, 13 more days?
I've got mine being shipped via EMS, and it's the super-deluxe special version, so it's got the DVD of live material along with it. I will be posting a review of both the CD and DVD soon after receiving it. I have not posted any real impressions of the song itself mostly for that reason - I'm saving them for the review - but also because I really just don't quite know how I feel about it yet. I need to listen a few more times to solidify an opinion. Maybe many more times!
By the way, I particularly like this photo that was also posted on the staff blog:
Their photos lately (even the "candid" ones) have all seemed to capture the same types of poses and mood and followed the same sorts of promotional patterns; it's nice to see one that evokes something a little different. Though I see they still managed to include a little plug for Candy Stripper. Well, that's ok. CONTINUED >>

All Because of You music video
Full song.
Hmmmm. I'll post my own thoughts at a later time.
btw, YouTube had the original clip removed - this one should be working now. It seems the record labels are continuing their war on those who would actually like to watch their promotional content. And they wonder why album sales continue to drop. CONTINUED >>

Puffy on Our Music 2
Not sure how old this is, but I'm gonna guess 2006. I looked around for it on the net before uploading, didn't see it. So my bet is not many of you have seen it either.
I haven't attempted to understand what they're talking about, so unfortunately I'm gonna be no help for my American readers. But be sure to stick around for the performance of Boogie Woogie #5 in full kimono towards the end. I'll say at least that my understanding is that on this show, a celebrity interviews their favorite musicians. This guy is not an interviewer; he's an actor and a dancer. And I believe he's friends with the girls, so he chose them. (I may have a detail or two wrong, but that's the basic gist.) (Update: I've got it backwards. See Cheshire Cat's comment below for more info.)
To anyone looking at this via RSS, come to the actual blog to watch the video - Veoh doesn't work in most RSS readers.

I'm pretty shocked to see that it's been another week now since my last update. That's only two posts in two weeks - it's definitely a slow period.
Well, come back tomorrow - I'll be posting another video interview that I haven't found anywhere else on the net. Some of the more dedicated among you might have seen it when it was first broadcast in Japan, but I'll bet a lot of you haven't.
I'd do it tonight, but it's already Midnight! Check back. CONTINUED >>

The purpose of our commercial family law section is to keep our professional financial colleagues well informed and up to date in key areas where separation can have substantial financial implications for their clients.
Commercial Family Law is the impact and importance that Family Law has in many commercial and financial areas in the accountancy, financial planning and legal environments.
Understanding Separation & Family Law from a Commercial Perspective
At Hartley Healy we specialise only in family law and over the years we have discovered there are many areas of financial practice and law that are impacted on by the separation of spouses. We are not specialists in tax or Estate planning, nor are we specialist financial advisors or accountants. However, as specialist family lawyers, it is important that we know something about all of the areas that potentially affect our clients when delivering family law advice.
Likewise, we have come to understand that it is equally important for our colleagues to also have some knowledge of the impact that family law has upon their area of practice so they can improve their own services and advices to clients.
We aim to assist our colleagues and clients in recognising the potential traps and problem areas that may arise upon separation. Our commercial family law initiative therefore provides educational tools to enable our colleagues to properly advise and educate their clients about the impact of family law in various different financial areas.
Further, we conduct seminars from time to time on relevant issues concerning commercial family law.
Commercial Family Law Topics
There are many topics that we deal with in our commercial family law service and some of these concerns the following:-
- Superannuation in family law;
- Capital Gains Tax in family law;
- The treatment of Trusts by the Family Law Court;
- The family company and separation;
- Death after separation;
- Commercial common sense – alternatives to litigation;
- Income Tax and separation;
- Bankruptcy in family law;
- The treatment of inheritances in family law property settlements.
If you are from an organisation and would like to establish a relationship with us in regards to commercial family law and would like to have us present a seminar to you and/or your work colleagues on a topical issue or a topic of your choosing, then please do not hesitate to contact us at 3220 1299.

Cilantro Hummus With Crispy Garlic Pita
Recipe by English_Rose
A twist on plain hummus served with garlic pita.
Top Review by Chilicat
This is a really nice, "green" alternative to traditional hummus. The cilantro and lime give it a distinct, almost southwest flavor. The garlic pitas are to die for, and really enhance the dish. I'll for sure use them when I make regular hummus, and I could see sprinkling them with a little sea salt and munching them as a snack as well. I used wheat pitas (my nod to healthy eating) and they turned out great.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 mild red chilies, seeded and roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
- 1 lime, juice of, only
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
For the Crispy Garlic Pita
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 white pita breads
Directions See How It's Made
- Place the garlic, chillies and cilantro in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped.
- Add the garbanzos and whizz until well blended.
- With the motor running, squeeze in the lime juice and drizzle in the olive oil to make a fairly coarse paste.
- Season well to taste and spoon into a serving bowl.
- Meanwhile, mix together the olive oil, garlic and parsley and season.
- Heat one side of the pita breads under a hot broiler for about 1 minute until well browned.
- Turn over the bread, then use a knife to slash the softer surface 4-5 times without cutting through the bread.
- Brush with the herb and oil mixture and return to the broiler until bubbling and toasted (about 1 minute).
- When cool, break into pieces and serve with the hummus.

There will never be enough words to write about libraries and my very personal encounters with their books. Beyond the family influence, the happy accidental encounters, and various events from my life; libraries are and will always be the main constant in my professional and human achievements (because I don't see how one could develop in the absence of the other).

September is upon us and with the beginning of another academic year comes a fresh crop of undergraduate students jostling their way into universities' hallways and classrooms. As a researcher in postsecondary education who also teaches undergrads, I take a direct interest in the first-year experience. Whenever I have a teaching assignment with first-year students, I try to have a conversation with them about the decision they made to come to university, the factors that influenced their choice, and how their experiences in university compare to those in high school.

I just turned forty and began worrying about catching a terrible disease from my students.A good friend once clued me in to a self-image disease suffered by many college professors. Let's call it the Cool Envy Disease. Every day, he said, we are surrounded by people who are impossibly cool. These people dress well. They are super fit and look great in skinny jeans and miniskirts. They know all the good bands. They are politically progressive. And they can text with one hand, under a desk, without looking.And they are twenty years old.

Although the calendar tells us that January is the start of the year, September has always felt like the start of something new and exciting. (Heather Zwicker has written a fabulous post at Hook and Eye on this phenomenon-- New Year.) With the new year comes new year's resolutions.

I am writing this short text from a computer whose keyboard settings are not English but Icelandic, a language with slightly more characters than English. As my fingers have learnt to seek blindly for the O's and the U's and the W's, I keep spelling words wrongly, until of course I switch the keyboard to English. Then the issue becomes NOT to look, and let the fingers do their job on their own, since what the eyes see is not what the fingers meet when they try to type.

According to the Chair of my program – my application had to be "pretty dismal" in order to be rejected. She was being flippant of course; she had carefully reviewed my transcript and suggested a couple of courses to take to increase my chances of acceptance. However her point really was to warn me that being a part-time student meant that I wouldn't be offered funding, implying that there wasn't much reason to reject my application, assuming that I met all eligibility requirements.

After nearly a decade of negotiating, George Lucas has finally settled on Exposition Park in L.A. as the home for his Museum of Narrative Art (cities in the running included San Francisco and Chicago). Lucas will fund the project in it's entirety at the cost of at least $1 billion.
The museum will house Lucas' personal art collection which includes some 10,000 paintings and illustrations. You know, the kind of stuff that you would expect to find in a traditional fine art museum. But fear not Star Wars fans—there's going to be plenty for you as well. [click to continue…]

On todays episode of "If that was Dez Bryant.."
Strange. I didn't know Ware was divorced.
As far as I know, he's not.
The article says, "his then-wife Taniqua."
It says that but we've never heard of a divorce. Quick, someone run over to Ware's home and see if she's there.
That thing is ugly as sin I wouldn't pick it back up either
It also says they aren't together anymore.
Unless they split within the last month, I think the article is incorrect:
Wiki says they were divorced in 2012
Well, that clears it up for me.
Hmm... well, it is wiki. lol
I checked Wikipedia before I posted in the thread and there was no reference of a separation or divorce.
Did demarcus ware divorce taniqua ware - WikiAnswers
wiki.answers.com › ... › Dallas Cowboys
Says yes in 2012 ----------------For what its worth
There was an article several posts up saying that they were at a charity event as husband and wife just 3 weeks ago.
Thats why I said it came from wiki-----you can't believe anything you read on the internet Hope they are still together.Thanks for the additional info Fuzzy.
Kim, give you $200, straight up cash money for it right now.
Don't keep me waiting. This money is burning a hole in my pocket!
There is no way they are still together if he gave her that godawful piece of jewelry. $43,000...for that?!

Dividend growth investors tend to have a long-term view on the market, seeking to accumulate shares of solid blue chip companies and watch their investments grow with the power of dividend reinvestment.
So for most such investors, "options trading" is the furthest strategy from their mind. Most investors view options as very risky bets, and it's no surprise, given the typical disclaimer:
Options involve risks and are not suitable for everyone. Option trading can be speculative in nature and carry substantial risk of loss. Only invest with risk capital.
But it turns out that some types of options aren't actually all that risky, and if used correctly, can help you get some extra returns out of your portfolio. This mini-series of articles will cover various options strategies that dividend growth investors can use to maximize returns without increasing risk.
Strategy 1: Cash-Secured Put Writing
I know that a lot of dividend growth investors are "value conscious." So rather than rushing all in with fresh capital, they prefer to wait until one of their wishlist stocks is "on sale," then buy it at a discount.
There are various ways to accomplish this. While some investors actively watch the market to determine entry points, others choose "automated" methods. One common automated method is to place a limit order so that your broker automatically buys the stock for you when it drops below a certain price - i.e., "if The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) is available at or below $72.50, buy 100 shares."
In this scenario, the investor has determined that they would be happy with purchasing Coca-Cola shares at $72.50 apiece. This is where put options come in.
A put option is a contract stating that on a certain date (the expiration date), the holder of the options has the right to sell 100 shares of a certain security at a certain price (the strike price). People usually buy put options when they believe the price of a stock is going to go down.
However, for there to be a buyer of a put option, there naturally has to be a seller - and that's where our dividend growth investor comes in. Say the investor wants to pick up shares of Coca-Cola, but thinks we'll see a pullback within the next few months. The investor would be happy buying Coca-Cola at $72.50. What the investor could then do is write ("sell to open") a $72.50 strike put option for Coca-Cola. According to the options chain, September-expiry $72.50 Coca-Cola puts currently trade for $0.65, meaning the options contract can be sold for a premium of $65. This $65 is credited to your account, and $7250 is then set aside by your broker in your account.
If Coca-Cola is trading at or below $72.50 on the expiry date, your $72.50 will then be used to purchase the Coca-Cola shares. Counting the 65-cent premium you received, your cost basis on these Coca-Cola shares is $71.85. If Coca-Cola is trading above $72.50, the option will expire worthless, and you get to keep your $65 premium for your trouble. This works out to a 0.86% return for the two-month holding period, or a 5.2% annualized return on the cash, which is a whole lot better than you're going to get for any money market fund. (No matter what, you get to keep the premium.)
The "risk" in writing put options is that if the value of the stock declines, you'll have a paper loss because you were forced to purchase at $72.50 when the stock might be trading lower. However, for the dividend growth investor, this is an immaterial risk because it's the exact same risk as going long the stock. Dividend growth investors don't care about paper losses, because they're looking at the purchase in the long term. If they would've happily bought the stock at $72.50, then there's no additional risk in writing the put option. In fact, there's slightly less risk, because the premium lowers cost basis.
The put writing strategy is useful when you want to acquire certain stocks at a certain price point. It enables you to essentially place a "limit order" on the stock while obtaining a premium, which will either serve as "income" or serve to lower the cost basis.
While options trading is typically seen as risky, I'd like to stress that put writing carries no additional risk above and beyond the risks associated with going long any stock. If you would happily purchase a given stock at a certain price, then you should be able to write a put option on the stock at that price. It's like agreeing to buy the stock at that price, with a little bonus thrown in. Any capital that you were planning to invest in stocks can thus be used for writing put options with no additional risk.
Two notes: first, I would recommend writing near-dated put options, i.e., those expiring in a 1-2 month timeframe. Without getting into the technicals, there are several reasons this generally provides the best risk/reward profile; it allows you to have your cash back fairly quickly, it maximizes time premium capture, and it allows you to react to changes and various opportunities in the market.
Second, say the value of the stock skyrockets. Using our example, say Coca-Cola hits 90 in August, making it extremely unlikely that it will dip to $72.50. In this case, the put option will lose money, which is great for you; like shorting a stock, you can "buy to close" the put option, which means you buy it back for current market value. Since you sold it for more than the current value, you get a tidy profit and can now reuse the cash to acquire stocks or write other put options.
Disclosure: I am long KO.

iPhone Photography
How much fun is this? Can a pro photographer use the iPhone to do his thing? The verdict is still out, although I saw a link to using Instagram to do a fashion shoot. Here is a shot of one of my very special guitars; a mid 80′s Japanese Stratocaster with a 3 bolt neck. Don't even think about asking me to sell it unless you are offering 6 figures. And even if I sold it for that I would live to regret it.
Photography Style
Times change but fashions just recycle. This photo was taken over 10 years ago, but the hair and beard were in fashion 20 years before and certainly would not look out of place today. The suit and tie might raise some eyebrows.Has style passed you up? Looking conservative may not be fashionable, but you won't stand out walking down the street in Hartford Connecticut.

Capturing The Light
Earlier this year, I revised this site with a new tagline: "Capturing The Light". For me, as a photographer, it's a lot more than that, however. Light is the tool or the canvas I work with, but the real core is beauty. Creating beauty is it's own reward. I do it instinctively and I would do it without pay. Because for me, it grabs who I really am and gives me deep joy.
I hope this light finds you enjoying a beautiful and joyful holiday.
Industrial Photographer
Refinery In California
My father worked at a refinery in California when I was a little kid. I never liked the smell, but I always thought they were impressive looking. One of the last times I was back there I couldn't resist taking a shot of this one as the sun started to set. They might have cleaned it up since my visit.
All the oil refineries used to be right along the coast, including the one where my father worked. I miss California but when the wind was blowing the wrong way. Well, you know what I mean.
Construction Photography
Cheap Sunglasses
Florida near Ft Lauderdale was hot even in February. And standing in that sun with a heavy nail gun takes a lot of strength and commitment. This guy had lots of both, even with his mirror sunglasses. The light seemed to create a kind of illustrative or dream-like feeling. Maybe it was sunstroke. What do you think?
Location Photographer
On Location: Florida
I just re-discovered this photo from a shoot I did in Florida a couple of years ago. This is a shot, you will want to see large. Head over to my portfolio site and click on the location portfolio. We wanted to celebrate the labor of construction workers using the company's product. The angle was dramatic and the day smiled on me with a beautiful cloud decorated sky. Conditions this February day were perfect. I didn't even need photoshop to bring it to life. I've already been traveling more on assignment again. I recently returned from a trip to North and South Carolina and a trip to Atlanta is in the works. The highway is my home as Roy Buchanan once sang. Yet this Hartford photographer also digs the New England scene.

I do not favor isolation in it`s entirety.But if we did a partial isolation until we got our own Country back in order,might be one way to solve the debt problem.be forced to go back into manufacturing if you want a product,and get people working.With this being done,if our Gov`t cut off giving our money away,we should show a quick payback and debt free!While in this process,how about having the FBI,and IRS people along with the CBO go thru all the Gov`t rolls,cut off the swindlers, investigate the Treasury and every dept of the Gov`t along with Congress! and return the depts of Education,EPA,and Agriculture to the States!!!Sure way to save money by spending just a little!!!

The basic method for cooking roast beef is, of course, roasting. It is not overly complicated to do, despite the fact that many people are afraid of it. With this solid basic guide to cooking roast beef, you can turn out a great dish, each and every time.
Cooking Roast Beef – Getting Started
Most experienced cooks and chefs recommend that you let the meat come to room temperature for about two hours prior to cooking roast beef, whenever possible. Then, set your oven to heat to the appropriate temperature and get your beef ready in its pan; for this you simply need a large enough roasting pan to fit the meat without it touching the sides.
The beef should be up on a rack so it roasts and does not steam. If it has a fat layer that should be placed at the top. If you like, add any seasoning, rubs, or marinades now.
Cooking Roast Beef – What Temperature?
There are basically two camps when it comes to the right temperature for cooking roast beef. The options are:
- Start the roast on a high temperature for about half an hour – 425 F, then reduce to around 350F for the remaining roasting time.
- Or, cook the meat constantly and slowly at a low temperature, usually 325 to 350 F.
Both methods are common and many people have their own opinions, but it is a matter of personal preference and neither is right or wrong. You may choose to try cooking roast beef a couple of times with each method and see which you prefer.
Cooking Roast Beef – When Is It Done?
Cooking roast beef is a bit different than other meats because there is a range of what is considered "done". How long you cook the meat will depend on what you like. What is definitely recommended is that you have on hand either an instant-read thermometer or a meat thermometer so that you can tell when it has reached your desired doneness without cutting the meat and releasing its juices and drying it out (taking the temperature from the center of the meat, but not hitting any bone).
Follow this guide to determine when your beef is done cooking:
- Rare: 120 to 125 F (120F is a very rare roast); loosely plan 17 minutes per pound.
- Medium-Rare: 130-135 F; loosely plan 20 min per pound.
- Medium: About 145F; loosely plan 24 min per pound.
- Well done: 155-165 F; loosely plan 28 min per pound.
(*Cooking times will vary depending on many factors, including cut and some unknowns, so times given are loose planning guides).
Regardless of level of doneness, when you decide your roast beef is done, remove it from the oven, cover it, and let it stand for 20 minutes before carving. This allows the meat to relax, the juices to release, and makes for a more flavorful, nicely-textured roast.

Kicking an opiate habit---whether heroin or prescription painkillers---is not an easy thing to do. Suboxone is an opiate that is the last in a series of "step down" drugs in the battle against opiate addiction. Even though Suboxone has its own addictive qualities, it is considered the least addictive---and has the fewest withdrawal symptoms---of all the opiate-based drugs. In this last stage of the battle against addiction, you can detoxify from Suboxone by decreasing doses and fortifying your body's systems.
Suboxone in a Nutshell
The main ingredient in suboxone is buprenorphine, an opioid agonist. Suboxone comes in 2mg and 8mg tablets or can be taken under the tongue. Suboxone also contains nalaxone, which blocks the pleasurable effects of methadone, heroin and morphine. A person cannot get "high" on Suboxone, so there is less likelihood that he will try to inject or "snort" it.
Lower Dosages of Suboxone
If you have been taking Suboxone for an extended period of time, and have successfully stopped using heroin and methadone, then your doctor may begin lowering your dosage of Suboxone. However, even if you have gotten down to 1mg per day of Suboxone, eliminating it completely is a difficult point for any opiate addict.
There are some drugs like clonidine that can help reduce the withdrawal symptoms; however, there are some side effects to clonidine such as dry mouth, constipation and drowsiness. And while there are no known natural ways to detoxify from an opiate addiction, there are many natural ways to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms.
Naturally Reduce Suboxone Withdrawal Symptoms
After your physician has lowered your Suboxone dose enough to finally quit taking the drug completely, you have to face the final withdrawal symptoms, which may last anywhere from four to seven days.
The symptoms of opiate withdrawal are due to low endorphins (the pain relievers of the body) brought about by the extended use of opiates.
Exercise is one great weapon against suboxone withdrawal, as physical activity elevates your endorphin levels. Walk for one-half to one mile in the morning, and repeat once in the afternoon or evening. Because of the effects of opiates on your body, you may be too weak to do much more than that.
Sweating through exercise or a sauna can help remove some of the toxins in your body and should cut down your detoxification time by a day or two. Because the inability to sleep is one symptom of suboxone withdrawal, exercise will help to wear your body out so you can sleep.
Some foods to eat while going through withdraw include eating bananas and other potassium-rich foods to replenish this mineral depleted by from the diarrhea and restless leg syndrome. Drinking plenty of fruit juices and water throughout each day of withdrawal.
Throughout your detoxification, take L-tyrosine (500mg) tablets up to 2000mg and scale up or down, as needed. This amino acid should help you get moving in the morning by giving you a surge of energy and boosting natural brain chemicals that can improve your mood. Take a vitamin B-12 supplement along with the L-tyrosine to improve absorption, and include one multivitamin each day.

- Cerro de Gotha -
theshattered mountain
theshattered mountain
The festival is held annually on the Cerro de Gotha in honor of Lady of Urchupina. Thousands of Bolivians, Aymara and Chequa, go on top of a mountain to crush the rock with a hammer and then take home a stone, as a pledge to the desire expressed in the presence of the Lady. But the question really is a bit 'more complex. At dawn many Bolivians who flocked from all directions in the street showed me the way to follow. They were thousands, of all ages, all walking. When I arrived at the foot of the mountain I immediately noticed that the road leading uphill to the summit is strewn with stalls. It was not until I approached one of them that noticed the merchandise for sale. There were model of cars, houses, airplanes, fake passports, medical certificates, licenses and many counterfeit dollars collected in bundles. I still did not understand. Everyone bought something with security, choosing between goods for sale. But because a passport instead of a model car or a house instead of a medical certificate? I continued to climb upward as the first light of dawn and a light mist made the atmosphere intimate and mysterious. After about an hour of walking I arrived on a huge plateau, the sound of hammer blows imprinted on the rocks that led me toward what was once the heart and, in a sense, the meanig of what appeared to me. Rosario, a guy by the name likely adopted for the occasion, while selling beer and blessed with it the stones detached from the rock, explained me what was in the rite. First he said that the rite was in two directions, one outward and one return. He explained me that those who participated for the first time had to buy a model that represented the request to do to Lady. Then, once removed a stone from the rock of the mountain, it was necessary that would make it "blessed with beer" toghethe with the model, and then pack and take them home where he was to keep until the following year. If the desire had been fulfilled, the luck would turn back the model to burn it in a kind of "sacred landfill" located further down the path. I pulled a stone from the rock and I bless it with the beer togheter a bunch of fake dollars that I had previously bought as a souvenir (because you never know how things go ..) and following the sound of the crackling of fireworks I walked along the path that went down.The landfill was full of people who, after having deposited their packs with models purchased, gave fire thanking the Virgin for having expressed the wish.
My package is still waiting to be brought back. Perhaps the distance eliminated the holy effect of beer.

When my older sister who lives in Germany came to Indonesia recently, we gave her the royal treatment. Well, she's family after all, and had not visited in 12 years.So if a family member hadn't visited in 47 years, the royal treatment would be quadrupled, right? Well, that's how long it had been since a Saudi monarch had come to Indonesia. The last time was the visit of King Faisal in 1970, so when King Salman of Saudia Arabia came in February the reception was pretty over the top.
As from January 14 until a few days ago, a Serbian train was stationing on the Kosovo border. The train is decorated with letters that read "Kosovo is Serbian" in various languages, as well as with a series of figures and insignia of the Orthodox religion and Serbian nationalism. Kosovo's authorities have so far blocked the train march along the 213 km line from Belgrade to Mitroviça, a city with a Serb majority located within Muslim Kosovo.

Alibaba IPO: Avoiding Facebook IPO Mistakes
- Facebook went public in a hyped IPO in 2012 that yielded a very disappointing return from the first day of trade.
- Facebook put a very high price tag on its shares that together with a NASDAQ technical error made Facebook IPO one of the worst IPO stories ever.
- Alibaba, unlike Facebook, put a reasonable price tag on its shares and chose the NYSE over NASDAQ as the primary market to go public.
In May 2012, after months of anticipation and countless articles, analyses, and speculations, social media giant Facebook made its Wall Street debut on NASDAQ with a disappointing 0.6% increase on the first day of trade. Facebook (FB) stock price continued to drop and reached its all-time low price of $19, reflecting a 50% loss to investors who purchased stocks in the primary market. As shown in chart 1 below, Facebook initially planned to offer 388 million shares in the price range of $28 to $35 ($31.5 mid-point price), raising $12.2 billion before IPO expenses. The mid-point price of $31.5 reflects a 60.58 IPO price earnings ratio, which is close to the average PE of the industry and made Facebook a decent investment, at least, from a P/E standpoint.
On May 15, just two days before its debut, Facebook's executives decided to push the IPO bar a little higher and increased the IPO share price from $31.5 to $38, adding another $2.5 billion to the amount they expected to raise. The new IPO price increased the IPO price-to-earnings ratio to above 73, higher than the average 61 P/E on the internet information providers industry that reflected a less-appealing investment opportunity based on the PE ratio. On the following day, Facebook once again increased the expected amount to be raised, this time by increasing the number of shares offered to 484 million shares, resulting in $18.4 billion of funds expected to be raised. Facebook probably raised the IPO share price and the number of shares offered after a discussion with the underwriters and after analyzing the demand from the roadshow. However, the changes made to the offering details reduced the possible upside investors could gain from purchasing shares in the IPO and selling them in the secondary market. As shown in chart 2 below, Facebook stock price crossed the IPO price only in July 2013, more than one year after the IPO.
Alibaba (BABA), the giant Chinese e-commerce company is going public this week in the biggest tech IPO in history, raising more than $21 billion. Alibaba's IPO coverage in the media is similar to Facebook's IPO; however, Alibaba can use the experience Facebook had in order to have a successful IPO. Like Facebook, Alibaba also increased its IPO price a few days before going public in order to maximize the amount raised. However, unlike Facebook, which boosted the IPO price by 20%, Alibaba increased the IPO price by only 6%. After changing the IPO price, Facebook's IPO price to earnings ratio increased from more than 60 to more than 73, which is a significant increase that lowered the expected possible return from a Facebook investment. Alibaba's 6% rise in IPO price increased the company's IPO price to earnings ratio from 36 to 39, which is a small impact that kept the IPO PE in a reasonable area, compared to the 37.5 average P/E ratio in the retail industry.
As mentioned above, Facebook's first day of trade yielded only a disappointing 0.6% upside; however, that was not the only disappointing event that day for Facebook. Facebook was supposed to start trading on NASDAQ at 11 a.m., but it wasn't until 11:30 that traders were able to submit orders that went through the NASDAQ systems. Soon after the glitch was found, NASDAQ turned to another system as an attempt to resolve the technical issue; however, orders made during the switch did not go through, and some orders that went through weren't confirmed until hours later. Facebook's IPO glitch cost NASDAQ not only its good name but also $10 million in an SEC fine and $40 million in investors' reimbursement funds.
The Facebook IPO fiasco drove Twitter (TWTR) to choose the New York Stock Exchange over NASDAQ. Its another matter that the Twitter IPO was expensive and valuations were high. Alibaba has made the same decision to go with NYSE. Facebook's IPO highlighted the operational risks accompanied with such a hyped IPO, so it's only reasonable that Alibaba will try to avoid any obstacle that may impact its IPO success.
Facebook and Alibaba are two of the most hyped and covered initial public offerings in recent years. In Facebook's case, the company increased the IPO price to a level where it did not reflect an appealing investment opportunity to investors, and as a result, its stock price increased only 0.6% in the first day of trading, followed by a 50% decrease in the next twelve months. In addition, Facebook suffered from a technical error in NASDAQ that delayed the stock trade for 30 minutes and caused some investors to either purchase the stock at an irrelevant price or not purchase the stock at all. Alibaba is using Facebook's experience to avoid the same mistake and have a better, more successful IPO. Alibaba increased the IPO price a minimal 6% in order to gain more money from the IPO without damaging investors' future gain potential, and it chose to list on the New York Stock Exchange to avoid the technical error that occurred with Facebook's IPO.

Changes are afoot in the top management of Q:uadrant Communications. The agency's President, Noshir Desai, has decided to move on and Rajan Narayan, VP, Q:uadrant Mumbai has been announced as his successor. Confirming the development, Prem Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, Lintas India, said that the change was effective February 16, 2006.
Elaborating further on the reason to appoint Narayan as the new head, Mehta said, "He is an excellent professional, who isn't just familiar with all the clients but has been responsible for many of them coming on board. He is a natural choice."
Narayan will be designated General Manager and would report to the Lintas Board.
In the first month of 2006 alone, Narayan played a key role in adding business worth Rs 50 crore to the agency's kitty, which included Voltas Corporate, Godrej FairGlow Soap and Tata Motors Regional.
As is known, Kirloskar house agency Pratibha was repackaged in 1998 as Q:uadrant Communications under the stewardship of Geetanjali Kirloskar.
