Along with a new image from the production, the new trailer will be released later tonight. http://www.thehobbitblog.com/?p=4353
Like the casting, Martin Freeman is great. Have they announced if this is going to be a two-part movie? I'm assuming it will be.
i hope its not 2 parts -- i want to see a glorious 3 1/2 hour movie -- not a 2 hour cocktease with a 6 mo wait -- is it being filmed in 3D?
Well, went ahead and looked it up myself, it is two parts. From New Line and Warner Bros.: "The two parts, titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again,[SUP][/SUP] are being filmed back-to-back; principal photography began on 21 March 2011.[SUP][/SUP] They are scheduled to be released on 14 December 2012 and 13 December 2013, respectively"
it IS being filmed in 3D -- good, because converting after the fact sucks Here's something for "Lord of the Rings" fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming movie "The Hobbit." In a recent post on his Facebook page, director Peter Jackson gave fans a sneak peek at some of the innovative techniques used to shoot the film in 3D. The movie is being made with 48 RED Epic digital cameras, and since it's shot in 3D, those cameras have to be paired and positioned a specific distance apart. Sounds easy? It isn't. While the RED cameras are a lot smaller than regular film cameras used in Hollywood, the lenses they use make it nearly impossible to place them close to each other. The filmmakers had to engage the help of 3ality Technica, a company that makes custom camera rigs, to create specialized mounts for the cameras used in "The Hobbit." The mounts, which allow one camera to be pointed straight at the subject while the other shoots the image reflected off a mirror, lets camera operators change the distance between the two camera lenses--called the interocular distance--easily. This keeps the lenses at a distance similar to our own eyes and should ensure that the 3D effect looks more believable and causes less fatigue. The movie is also shot at 5K resolution--more than six times that of 1080p--at 48 frames per second, which means "The Hobbit" could be one of the best-looking 3D films we'll ever see. Well, until Avatar 2 comes out, at least. Watch the video below for a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of "The Hobbit" and see more on Jackson's Facebook page.
I guess if they don't fuck it up, it will be ok seems like only yesterday when they announced they were making Lord of the Rings trilogy, and that was like 14 years ago
The technology they are using is absolutely unbelievable. The framerate alone is a huge leap forward. It's never been done before on a major motion picture. The 5K resolution is staggering. When Warner Bros. recently restored "Wizard of Oz", they scanned in the negative at 8k and the final product covered 22 terabytes of data.
my only problem with the LOTR is that Frodo and Sam hopped on some hawks and got taken home. why didnt the hawks just fly him to Mordor so he could dump the ring in the fire?
They were eagles, and they were busy protecting Harrison Ford inside a refrigerator during an atom bomb detonation.
I just watched that piece of shit movie the other day with my 9 year old daughter -- towards the end, she was pointing out all the ridiculous inconsistencies and plot holes on her own -- what a steaming pile of shit putting aside the millions of degree temperature and the radiation, I had to try to explain how a guy was uninjured after a blast threw the refrigerator he was in several miles away
Some theories on that are summarized here: http://www.sean-crist.com/personal/pages/eagles/index.html I assumed the explanation was that Sauron and his "all seeing eye" gimmick would spot them in the air as long as he survived. That's pretty much dismissed in the link above, basically he chalks it up to lazy writing.

Spending money for 6 months travelling?
26 Feb 2011 Chris713 asked
I want to know how much money I will need to save for 6 months travelling?
I am doing around 4-5 months in UK/Europe and then 2 months in America.
I have around $30,000 saved with flights already paid for and 3 contiki tours already booked and paid. Is this more than enough to travel comfortably without being too stingey with everything? Obviously I'm not just going to splurge on everything and will save where I can but don't want to be worrying about money all the time.
Advice please!

Friends and I are planning to spend 6 months in Europe next year and we were talking about 20000 AUD as a tentative budget. We're all students though, so this is kind of a rough estimation of how much we could realistically earn coupled with how much we want to spend. I have no idea if this is feasible or not, so I'd be interested to see how you go!
I imagine that the sort of accommodation you want and your general itinerary would impact the sort of budget you want.

Yeah I think $20,000 is probably about the right amount if you watch what you spend, I'm just paranoid haha

Oissin_ this'd this
Clearly this
How could anybody even argue?
I started trying to find the perfect Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In the Dilapidation track and/or modern drum & bass/breakcore with that insane high snare they use these days but
who cares about competitive internet posting i'll just listen to grindcore/Current Value and get on with some work
I like Brian's work on Megaghost by Lightning Bolt
But maybe it's the sheer speed rather than the sound.
I also like the snare sound Aja by Steely Dan and on half the songs on The Remote Part by Idlewild
That grindcore snare sound is brilliant
Absolute fuck.
ClamingToBeOnTele this'd this I love songs where the snare is the main feature
this is sarcasm.

normally very highly tuned. I like it.

Everyone knows that. APART FROM YOU STUPID CHILDREN.
Cementimental this'd this
I came here to link Sussudio
Love that snappy drum sound.
If we're going for great snare sounds per minute then this has to be a contender. Plus it turns out this song has something to do with twilight. Thanks for that youtube
yes oh god yes
one of the best sounding records ever.
Electric Lash — The Church
Apparently, the band now hate the album it comes from because of the drum sound.
Fucking morons.
earl palmer on cosimo sessions
listen to those thundering snare rolls (sounds like a holiday appetizer)
I've found it.
Best snare sound, best overall drum sound, best 'drum face':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=UWfmfgHXAfE#t=74sNow rewind and listen to the whole thing. It's wonderful.
They have to be infectious;

I really like this sort of snare sound
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyxoQIQaogE&feature=fvsr There are probably much better examples, but this is the first that springs to mind.
Haven't checked any of those YouTube links
but if one of them isn't Devo's "Mongoloid" then this thread is sorely lacking
Spare snare
Live at home
Dundee a finest from 90s Lars Ulrich on St. Anger
Perfectly captures that 'hitting a rusty dustbin with metal spike' sound
this is awesome

Wrapping it up from Lakeland
Say what you want about Joba Chamberlain or Phil Hughes, but the most interesting thing I saw all afternoon was the catch that Curtis Granderson made on Miguel Cabrera in the fourth inning.
I know that the defensive value of Granderson vs. Brett Gardner is a hot debate, but when Granderson went back – all the way back – to the wall to catch Cabrera's 410-foot laser, it was something to see. I've always been fascinated by the over-the-shoulder catch, mostly because I think it's amazing that outfielders are able to see the ball, then look away to run, then turn around and find the ball again. Granderson said the keys to the play are getting a good jump and, even more, listening the other outfielders.
On that play, Gardner and Marcus Thames both began by screaming at Granderson to go back – since they're on an angle, they can see just how deep the ball is hit – and then, as he approached the wall, they both shouted to let him know that he had just enough room to make the catch without worrying about hitting the wall. As it turned out, he finished about one stride away from the fence. Perfect.
"That's one of those things where everything has to go right," Granderson said. "It's a play that's hard to practice."
Take a listen to the audio. It's pretty interesting to hear just what goes into making a grab like that.
That's it from here. I'm headed back through the traffic to Tampa. Thanks to everyone for reading today.

Tacita Dean: Kodak
Tacita Dean... Kodak (2006) at UbuWeb Film and Video. "...After discovering that the Kodak factory in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, was closing its film production facility, Dean obtained permission to document the manufacture of film at the factory with the soon-to-be obsolete medium itself. The 44-minute-long work Kodak constitutes a meditative elegy for the approaching demise of a medium specific to Dean's own practice. Kodak's narrative follows the making of the celluloid as it runs through several miles of machinery. On the day of filming, the factory also ran a test through the system with brown paper, providing a rare opportunity to see the facilities fully illuminated, without the darkness needed to prevent exposure."

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
-- In an update on the reports that Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will be working with WWE in some capacity again soon, it's said that it will be something of a mutual project with WWE on one side, Heyman-Lesnar on the other side and some sort of middle man or conduit between the two. As we've been reporting, there are absolutly no plans whatsoever for Heyman or Lesnar to return to WWE television.
-- Sean Waltman sent in the following:
New blog:
Sean "X-Pac" Waltman has a new blog posted on his official site, RealXPac.com. The following are excerpts from the article:
On CM Punk: "While I was still living in Mexico I stopped by Palacio de los Deportes where WWE was putting on a live event. The main event was Punk(as WWE Champ) vs Undertaker. I know from experience how hard it is for a guy our size to work with Taker or Kane. Well Punk and Taker had a hell of a match & I was extremely impressed that he had the ability to pull that off. I talked to William Regal about him that night & he told me Punk actually paid for & took a seminar put on by Regal, even after Punk had already made somewhat of a name for himself. That alone speaks volumes about the guy."
On Zack Ryder: "I think it's fair of me to say that Ryder isn't the most athletically gifted guy on the roster. His physique is average, but his work is solid. The thing about Ryder, that stands out to me, is his ambition & the fact that he has taken the initiative to get his character over(with no help from creative, as far as I know) through his youtube series "Z-True Long Island Story". I haven't watched every episode, but I took the time to watch several of them. After watching some of his episodes, I came away feeling like I know the guy. He comes off as a guy who is a super mark for wrestling & will do whatever it takes to make it. He seems like he is a big fan of himself & yet still a mark for the bigger names in WWE, such as the segments with Cena making brief cameos & Zack marking out over it. I think there is a great opportunity for WWE to capitalize on this."

Restaurant Looking For A Franchisee
Posted By News On @ 6:25 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Maid-Rite Diners has announced they are looking to Washington to expand their franchisee-owned restaurants. President and CEO Bradley Burt says they chose Washington because of a large enough population base, a lot of activity happening, a strong economy in Washington and they are well-known. Burt says the franchisee will be the owner-operator of the restaurant. He says once they find a franchisee, the next step is to find a building that is either already built or would need to be built. Burt notes if they are able to lease a building that is already built, they could open a restaurant within two and a half months. He says Maid-Rite has a goal of being able to open this year.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Three siblings from North London, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis have set the British roots rock scene on its ear with their infectious energy and authentic approach to rockabilly, vintage country, and first-generation rhythm & blues -- not to mention the fact that the youngest member of the trio hadn't yet reached her teens when they released their first single in 2005. Kitty Durham, Lewis Durham, and Daisy Durham were born into a musical family -- their father, Graeme Durham, is a guitarist who is also a top engineer at one of London's leading record mastering facilities, the Exchange, while their mother, Ingrid Weiss, played drums with the pioneering post-punk band the Raincoats. In 2002, while attending an afternoon rockabilly gig hosted by Big Steve and the Arlenes with their parents, Lewis was invited to sit in with the band on banjo, while Kitty hopped behind the drum kit and kept time. The next time Big Steve played at the Durhams' local pub, Lewis and Kitty were once again brought up to the stage, while Daisy joined in on accordion, and the kids decided it was time to form a band of their own.
Wanting to fill out their sound, Graeme was drafted as a rhythm guitarist and Ingrid took up upright bass to join the family combo. As the youngsters began displaying a greater range of talent -- Lewis plays guitar, lap steel, and piano along with the banjo, while Kitty handles percussion, harmonica, ukulele, and guitar and Daisy sings and plays piano as well as drums -- they became an act to watch on the U.K. Americana circuit, and began recording their own material. Lewis put together a makeshift studio in their home using vintage analog recording gear, and in 2005 the kids released their first single, "Honolulu Rock," with Kitty 12 years of age, Lewis 14, and Daisy the oldest at 16. A second single, "Mean Son of a Gun," hit shops a year later; it was released as a 7" 45 and in a limited-edition 10" 78-rpm pressing. In 2008 Kitty, Daisy & Lewis released their eponymous full-length debut album, featuring the single "Going Up the Country." The trio's sophomore effort, Smoking in Heaven (preceded by the single "I'm So Sorry"/"I'm Going Back"), was slated for release in May of 2011.

Remains identified as Captain Scott Speicher
From the DOD press release:
Some members of the Able Danger team were involved in this search:
The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) has positively identified remains recovered in Iraq as those of Captain Michael Scott Speicher. Captain Speicher was shot down flying a combat mission in an F/A-18 Hornet over west-central Iraq on January 17th, 1991 during Operation Desert Storm.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Captain Speicher's family for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country," said Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy. "I am also extremely grateful to all those who have worked so tirelessly over the last 18 years to bring Captain Speicher home."
"Our Navy will never give up looking for a shipmate, regardless of how long or how difficult that search may be," said Admiral Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations. "We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Captain Speicher and his family for the sacrifice they have made for our nation and the example of strength they have set for all of us."
Acting on information provided by an Iraqi citizen in early July, US Marines stationed in Al Anbar Province went to a location in the desert which was believed to be the crash site of Captain Speicher's jet. The Iraqi citizen stated he knew of two Iraqi citizens who recalled an American jet impacting the desert and the remains of the pilot being buried in the desert. One of these Iraqi citizens stated that they were present when Captain Speicher was found dead at the crash site by Bedouins and his remains buried. The Iraqi citizens led US Marines to the site who searched the area. Remains were recovered over several days during the past week and flown to Dover Air Force Base for scientific identification by the AFIP's Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner.
The recovered remains include bones and multiple skeletal fragments. Positive identification was made by comparing Captain Speicher's dental records with the jawbone recovered at the site. The teeth are a match, both visually and radiographically.
While dental records have confirmed the remains to be those of Captain Speicher, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology DNA Lab in Rockville, Maryland is running DNA tests on the remains recovered in Iraq and comparing them to DNA reference samples previously provided by family members. Results will take approximately 24 hours.
Some members of the Able Danger team were involved in this search:
Speicher was a lieutenant commander when shot down, but because his status remained uncertain, he received promotions during the past 18 years, reaching the rank of captain.
He was originally listed as "Killed-In-Action/Body-Not-Recovered" in May 1991. That status changed in 2001 to "Missing in Action," and then to "Missing/Captured" in 2002 based on sighting reports inIraq. Those sightings have since been discredited.
His status was changed back to MIA earlier this year.
In the six years that the United States has been in Iraq for the second Gulf War, many leads and alleged sightings of Speicher have been investigated and found to be false.
The Speicher family has worked closely with the Navy to ensure the hunt for him would not stop.

What would your author blurb say?
Most books include a couple of grafs about the author. What would you want your author blurb to say? Whether the bio blurb appears on the book flap, in an "about the author" section or in promotional materials, it's an important introduction to you and your awesome work. It's your opportunity to make a good impression and connect with your readers.
So, write a bio blurb for your latest work and share in comments. And if you found this difficult, why? Good luck!
10 comments:
LOL--I hear more authors complain about blurbs than about queries and synopses combined! (Though to be fair, author photo complaints top the list.)
I'll take a stab at this for my book, Smelvin & the Goulash Boy:
Amy Cook lives in Boise with her husband and son, two ducks, one chicken and a manic-depressive cat. Her recent visit to Croatia gave her the inspiration for this story. She often wakes at night, wondering if the goulash she ate there contained anyone's pet rat.OK... Here's mine for Freaky Frank, my humorous middle grade novel about a telepathic middle-schooler.
Buffy Andrews lives in southcentral Pennsylvania with her husband, Tom, two sons, Zachary and Micah, and carin terrier, Kakita. She met Freaky Frank in a dream and couldn't ditch the dude when she woke up. Good thing, too, or this book wouldn't have been written. A M Wraight lives in the Mystical Mountains of Greece with her collection of Magic Flying Donkey, Temperamental Puking Bunnies and Carrier Pigeon Postal Service.
Since falling into a magical wine barrel (whilst trying to scoop out the last dregs) she writes amusing Middle Grade and Young Adult with a splashing of Historical Fiction based on Greece and The Balkans. Her characters are always quirky and mildly insane...although things always turn out well in the end!
...Ok - this was just for fun...apart from her bending greedily over the enormous barrel whilst being a wee bit tipsy....and it hasn't happened ONLY once. My hair colour is permanently wine red!

Those must be the thickest straps ever then. They shouldn't have bothered with that element, it's a waste of budget, they're even painting the buckle at the end.
Good eye on Toryn Farr, my guess is her arm articulation got budgeted out. It looks like the new arms won't have elbow articulation anymore, I just hope that extreme bend is not included as well. There's also a little photoshop smear on the inside of the right shoulder, I wonder if that means they're pulling her shoulder articulation as well.
You are mistaken, the Saga version had the rank insignia, the upside-down shoulderpads, the alternate forearm armor, closed-loop boots, and the hip holster, all of which are consistent with the Snowtrooper Commander. The only inconsistency with that figure to the Commander costume is the helmet skirt.
They usually mail the figures to shows, I would guess what we're seeing isn't "damage" but much earlier, rougher prototypes than usual.
I also thought there was a mixup and Yoda and Luke were 6", especially due to Luke's joints which are largely the same as the 6" line, and Yoda's all-cloth outfit. But I double-checked, the party images show Yoda in the background of Vader pics.
I hope Yoda has an all-new body system with better joints that works better with the cloth outfit.

ive been experimenting with different slim fit brands, ive tried so far: express h&m alfani 'Fitted' CK 'Slim Fit' CK Jeans brand DKNY(slim fit) my build is 6'0, 170. have nice sized chest, abs but have skinny arms. here's a quick summary of how each fits me: Express: the only one i tried is 'modern fit'. im not sure if these are slim fit shirts or not(doubt it). arms and chest are OK but they're baggy from the lower back. you can try tucking them in but they'll just come back out which is annoying, not to mention they get wrinkled really fast. my friend told me to get the 'fitted' ones. ill try those out next time H&M: wow i didnt come accross these until today but they fit me perfect, medium size to be exact. They're also cheapest of the bunch at 24.99 MSRP. even cheaper when they go on sale. my only beef with these is they're very very thin shirts, almost paper. i'd be afraid to throw these things in the washing machine so ill just dry clean them. as far as the fit goes man they're perfect, everything from the arms, chest and lower abs. all areas are very close to the skin without it being too tight CK 'Slim Fit': These fit like tents, don't bother. Why they're called 'slim fit' is beyond me. Alfani 'Fitted'(macy's brand) these fit suprisingly well. not quite as slim as the h&m shirts but not too far off of it. good prices on these also. my only beef with these is they're ussally limited to one color in design and i'm not too fond of the materials....almost feels like its made out of window curtains. but if you happen to come accross a design you like be sure to try it on. CK Jeans brand: These shits arent actually labeled 'slim fit' but they fit me like one. the Small size fits me perfect. they can be found at macy's with the rest of the CK shirts and Jeans. the label will say "Calvin Klein Jeans' on the shirt with a small patch near the lower buttons also. as far as fit goes it somwhere in between the h&m and alfani. quality-wise the shirt feels like a more durrable h&m shirt. i wore this the other day to the bank and had a woman mumble something to me on the way out. as i asked her to repeat herself she said, "nothing, you just looking really good". DKNY(slim fit): these fit me OK, but not as good as the others. they do have excellent design and the quality is probably the best of the ones i mentioned.

Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy (Tamil: ஆனந்த குமாரசுவாமி, Ānanda Kentiś Kumāraswāmī; 22 August 1877 − 9 September 1947) was a Ceylonese Tamil philosopher and metaphysician, as well as a pioneering historian and philosopher of Indian art, particularly art history and symbolism, and an early interpreter of Indian culture to the West.[1] In particular, he is described as "the groundbreaking theorist who was largely responsible for introducing ancient Indian art to the West."[2]

Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy was born in Colombo, Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, to the Ceylonese Tamil legislator and philosopher Sir Muthu Coomaraswamy and his English wife Elizabeth Beeby. His father – a Sri Lankan Tamil Brahmin[3][4] – died when Ananda was two years old, and Ananda spent much of his childhood and education abroad.
Coomaraswamy moved to England in 1879 and attended Wycliffe College, a preparatory school in Stroud, Gloucestershire, at the age of twelve. In 1900, he graduated from University College, London, with a degree in geology and botany. On 19 June 1902, Coomaraswamy married Ethel Mary Partridge, an English photographer, who then traveled with him to Ceylon. Their marriage lasted until 1913. Coomaraswamy's field work between 1902 and 1906 earned him a doctor of science for his study of Ceylonese mineralogy, and prompted the formation of the Geological Survey of Ceylon which he initially directed.[5] While in Ceylon, the couple collaborated on Mediaeval Sinhalese Art; Coomaraswamy wrote the text and Ethel provided the photographs. His work in Ceylon fueled Coomaraswamy's anti-Westernization sentiments.[6] After their divorce, Partridge returned to England, where she became a famous weaver and later married the writer Philip Mairet.
By 1906, Coomaraswamy had made it his mission to educate the West about Indian art, and was back in London with a large collection of photographs, actively seeking out artists to try to influence. He knew he could not rely on Museum curators or other members of the cultural establishment – in 1908 he wrote "The main difficulty so far seems to have been that Indian art has been studied so far only by archaeologists. It is not archaeologists, but artists … who are the best qualified to judge of the significance of works of art considered as art." By 1909, he was firmly acquainted with Jacob Epstein and Eric Gill, the city's two most important early Modernists, and soon both of them had begun to incorporate Indian aesthetics into their work. The curiously hybrid sculptures that were produced as a result can be seen to form the very roots of what is now considered British Modernism.[7][8]
Coomaraswamy then met and married a British woman Alice Ethel Richardson and together they went to India and stayed on a houseboat in Srinagar in Kashmir. Commaraswamy studied Rajput painting whilst his wife studied Indian music with Abdul Rahim of Kapurthala. When they returned to England Alice performed Indian song under the stage name Ratan Devi. They had two children, a son, Narada, and daughter, Rohini. Alice was successful and they both went to America when Ratan Devi did a concert tour.[9] Whilst they were there Coomaraswamy was invited to serve as the first Keeper of Indian art in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1917.[10]
Coomaraswamy divorced his second wife after they arrived in America.[10] He married the American artist Stella Bloch, 29 years his junior, in November 1922. Through the 1920s, Coomaraswamy and his wife were part of the bohemian art circles in New York City, Coomaraswamy befriending Alfred Stieglitz and the artists who exhibited at Stieglitz's gallery. At the same time, he was studying Sanskrit and Pali religious literature as well as Western religious works. He wrote catalogues for the Museum of Fine Arts and published his History of Indian and Indonesian Art in 1927.
After the couple divorced in 1930, they remained friends. Shortly thereafter, on 18 November 1930, Coomaraswamy married Argentine Luisa Runstein, 28 years younger, who was working as a society photographer under the professional name Xlata Llamas. They had a son, Coomaraswamy's third child, Rama Ponnambalam (1929-2006), who became a physician and convert at age 22 to the Roman Catholic Church. Following Vatican II, he became a critic of the reforms and author of Catholic Traditionalist works.[11] He was also ordained a Traditionalist Roman Catholic priest, despite the fact he was married and had a living wife.[12]
In 1933 Coomaraswamy's title at the Museum of Fine Arts changed from curator to Fellow for Research in Indian, Persian, and Mohammedan Art.[6]
He served as curator in the Museum of Fine Arts until his death in Needham, Massachusetts, in 1947. During his long career, he was instrumental in bringing Eastern art to the West. In fact, while at the Museum of Fine Arts, he built the first substantial collection of Indian art in the United States.[13]
He also helped with the collections of Persian Art at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Museum of Fine Arts.
After Coomaraswamy's death, his widow, Doña Luisa Runstein, acted as a guide and resource for students of his work.
Coomaraswamy made important contributions to the philosophy of art, literature, and religion. In Ceylon, he applied the lessons of William Morris to Ceylonese culture and, with his wife Ethel, produced a groundbreaking study of Ceylonese crafts and culture. While in India, he was part of the literary circle around Rabindranath Tagore, and he contributed to the "Swadeshi" movement, an early phase of the struggle for Indian independence. In the 1920s, he made pioneering discoveries in the history of Indian art, particularly some distinctions between Rajput and Moghul painting, and published his book Rajput Painting. At the same time he amassed an unmatched collection of Rajput and Moghul paintings, which he took with him to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, when he joined its curatorial staff in 1917. Through 1932, from his base in Boston, he produced two kinds of publications: brilliant scholarship in his curatorial field but also graceful introductions to Indian and Asian art and culture, typified by The Dance of Shiva, a collection of essays that remain in print to this day. Deeply influenced by René Guénon, he became one of the founders of the Traditionalist School. His books and essays on art and culture, symbolism and metaphysics, scripture, folklore and myth, and still other topics, offer a remarkable education to readers who accept the challenges of his resolutely cross-cultural perspective and his insistence on tying every point he makes back to sources in multiple traditions. He once remarked, "I actually think in both Eastern and Christian terms—Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Pali, and to some extent Persian and Chinese."[14] Alongside the deep and not infrequently difficult writings of this period, he also delighted in polemical writings created for a larger audience—essays such as "Why exhibit works of art?" (1943).[15]
In his book The Information Society: An Introduction (Sage, 2003, p. 44), Armand Mattelart credits Coomaraswamy for coining the term 'post-industrial' in 1913.
Perennial philosophy
He was described by Heinrich Zimmer as "That noble scholar upon whose shoulders we are still standing."[16] While serving as a curator to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the latter part of his life, he devoted his work to the explication of traditional metaphysics and symbolism. His writings of this period are filled with references to Plato, Plotinus, Clement, Philo, Augustine, Aquinas, Shankara, Eckhart and other mystics. When asked what he was foremostly, he said that he was a "metaphysician", referring to the concept of perennial philosophy, or sophia perennis.
Along with René Guénon and Frithjof Schuon, Coomaraswamy is regarded as one of the three founders of Perennialism, also called the Traditionalist School. Several articles by Coomaraswamy on the subject of Hinduism and the perennial philosophy were published posthumously in the quarterly journal Studies in Comparative Religion alongside articles by Schuon and Guénon among others.
Although he agrees with Guénon on the universal principles, Coomaraswamy's works are very different in form. By vocation, he was a scholar who dedicated the last decades of his life to "searching the Scriptures". He offers a perspective on the tradition which complements Guénon's. He was extremely perceptive regarding aesthetics and wrote dozens of articles on traditional arts and mythology. His works are also finely balanced intellectually. Although born in the Hindu tradition, he had a deep knowledge of the Western tradition as well as a great expertise in, and love for, Greek metaphysics, especially that of Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism.
He built a bridge between East and West that was designed to be two-way: among other things, his metaphysical writings aimed at demonstrating the unity of the Vedanta and Platonism. His works also sought to rehabilitate original Buddhism, a tradition that Guénon had for a long time limited to a rebellion of the Kshatriyas against Brahmin authority.
"Alan Antliff documents (...in I Am Not A Man, I Am Dynamite) how the Indian art critic and anti-imperialist Ananda Coomaraswamy combined Nietzsche's individualism and sense of spiritual renewal with both Kropotkin's economics and with Asian idealist religious thought. This combination was offered as a basis for the opposition to British colonization as well as to industrialization."[17]

He writes: "Though the structures and patterns of mathematics reflect the structure of, and resonate in, the human mind every bit as much as do the structures and patterns of music, human beings have developed no mathematical equivalent of a pair of ears. Mathematics can be seen only with the eyes of the mind." All of his books are attempts to get around this problem, to "try to communicate to others some sense of what it is we experience--some sense of the simplicity, the precision, the purity, and the elegance that give the patterns of mathematics their aesthetic value." #14 Domain Decomposition Methods in Science and Engineering XIX

Once again, Alex has come through for me with quality work, on time, as promised. He even accommodated some last minute changes made by our client - simply incredible! If you need your layouts converted to HTML/CSS or folded into a CMS, you will not find anyone better than htmlBurger.
Josh Sears
htmlBurger is an amazing find. I've been working with them for well over a year, and I have never been disappointed. They not only get the job done right, and at an exceptionally fair price, but they go above and beyond in assuring a pixel perfect conversion of my designs (and I'm very picky!).
Sally Seaver Shabaka

Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr, left, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, center, and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi take their seats at the starts of their meeting at the Presidential Palace in Cairo, Egypt today.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
CAIRO — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the Obama administration is rewarding the Egyptian government with financial aid because of Cairo's promises of economic and political reforms.
Kerry says the U.S. is providing $190 million immediately as part of a larger pledge of $450 million over time.
Kerry says the money reflects Egypt's "extreme needs" and President Mohammed Morsi's commitment to satisfying conditions to close a $4.8 billion package of International Monetary Fund loans.
Kerry also says that a separate $60 million is for a new fund to provide direct support to Egyptian entrepreneurs and young people.
The announcement of the aid came after Kerry's meeting today with Morsi.

This is a "what should I do" type inquiry:
I sold a local buyer (we met locally yesterday afternoon) my HD650s. We met, he inspected them, chose not to listen to them, and was fine with the deal.
Tonight, I received this PM:
"Hello, sorry I need to return this. There is something wrong with the build. I talk a lot of the time when I'm using these and there is this creaking I hear on the left earphone whenever I do it."
So basically there is creaking on the left earphone when he talks while wearing them.
I never experienced this problem (or never noticed it if they did creak when talking as I'm usually sitting down on the couch when listening) but came across these links when doing a HF search on the issue:
I offered to give him $5-10 to purchase of bottle of oil and try to fix the problem. He insists on a return. I realize returning the cans is the simplest solution so not sure if I've answered my own question.
Thanks for the help

Today in Energy
Impact of the federal government shutdown on EIA
As a result of the lapse in appropriations for the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the EIA.gov website and our social media channels will not be updated after 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, October 11, 2013. Transactions submitted via the website might not be processed until appropriations are enacted; databases might not be available; and we will not be able to respond to inquiries.
Will the shutdown affect EIA's reports and data releases?
Yes. The release of all reports and data will cease during the shutdown.
What impact will the shutdown have on respondents?
Respondents to our energy data collection program should continue to submit reports as normally scheduled, which will enable us to maintain continuity of the data. However, please keep in mind that there will be no one present at EIA offices during the shutdown to answer questions or deal with technical issues that may prevent the filing of reports. Therefore, in the event you are unable to submit scheduled reports to EIA, please continue to prepare data for submission, but hold those reports until EIA resumes operations.
Can EIA's Information Center be reached during the shutdown?
No, the EIA Information Center is closed. Inquiries received during a shutdown will be responded to as soon as possible once EIA offices reopen.

USA TODAY's Robert Bianco previews July 7th's TV lineup from the Critic's Corner, with 'The Bacherlorette,' 'Mike & Molly' and 'Beauty and the Beast.' VPC
The Bachelorette
It's time for the ever-popular trips home to meet the respective families — who, if they know anything about the show at all, are most likely yearning to ask, "Why are you wasting our time?" followed by a request for a heads-up on anything particularly sleazy or stupid the daters have done that may cause the family embarrassment. But odds are most of them will smile and be polite, because they realize that's their best chance of not looking like fools themselves on TV — and because most of them will want to promote harmony on the very off chance this Bachelorette ends up being a member of the family
CRITIC'S CORNER CHAT RETURNS JULY 28: Read the latest transcript; tweet early questions to @BiancoRobert
Mike & Molly
If you like Melissa McCarthy, in or out of Tammy, you'll most likely get a laugh out of her performance in this repeat, as Molly visits Victoria at her workplace and works her way through various pot-and-funeral-parlor gags. McCarthy is one of our brightest comedy lights, but pay attention tonight to what a sweet, balancing presence Katy Mixon has become as Victoria.
Beauty and the Beast
This fantasy ends its second season with the threat that our Beast-boy might have to die. Considering the show has been renewed, you can probably file that threat under "empty."

I'd use /eɪteks/, but others may feel differently.
Student or Learner
Hi there.
"ATECS" is an acronym for our laboratory in the university. I've been wondering how it's better to be pronounced (grammatically or in social norms):
/eɪteks/ or /əteks/ or /æteks/
Thanks in advance.
I'd use /eɪteks/, but others may feel differently.
Which pronunciation is used by the people who work there? That's the one I'd go for.
If there is one way in which local people would be likely to pronounce the word, or if there is a word in Persian that sounds similar to a possible pronunciation of ATECS, then one of those would seem to be the natural choice. If there isn't, then Tdol's suggestion makes sense.
It's interesting (or perhaps it isn't) that most of us English speakers in Prague refer to the IKEA stores that we'd call /aɪˈki:ə/ in England as /i:ˈkeɪə/. The local pronunciation has won out.
