How lovely to have so many pretty pieces of silver for the table. Sadly, I rarely use demitasse spoons these days as nobody takes sugar in their coffee any more. However,the strawberry season is almost here and I can just imagine drenching juicy fruits with a shower of sweetness from your muffineer.

Red Sox - 000 000 001 - 1 7 0Lester (6-6-1-1-6, 90) allowed a single and a walk to start the fifth, and had nearly pitched out of danger when Todd Helton rapped an RBI single to right. Hideki Okajima gave up a run on three consecutive one-out singles in the eighth.
Rockies - 000 010 01x - 2 9 0
Chacin allowed four hits and five walks in 6.2 innings, but they were nearly all bunched together in two innings. Mike Cameron singled to open the third, but was thrown out stealing. Josh Reddick singled and, after a bunt from Lester, Marco Scutaro and Dustin Pedroia walked. With the bases loaded, Victor Martinez worked a full count but grounded to second.
In the seventh, Adrian Beltre walked with one out and Daniel Nava singled. After Chacin fanned Cameron, he walked Reddick to load the bases. Joe Neimel came into face pinch-hitter David Ortiz and Papi grounded to second.
Boston rallied in the ninth as Beltre lead off with a double. Nava struck out, but Cameron singled Beltre home. Pinch-hitters Bill Hall (F9) and Mike Lowell (6-3) could not deliver. Lowell's grounder was deep in the hole, but Clint Barmes had time to dive for it, tumble a bit, then get to his feet and throw to first. A turtle could have beaten it out for a hit, but, alas, Lowell is no turtle.
The Yankees beat the Diamondbacks 9-3 and the Rays lost to the Padres 2-1, so both Boston and Tampa Bay fell to 1.5 GB in the East.Jon Lester / Jhoulys Chacin
The last time the Red Sox played in Colorado was October 28, 2007, when Lester and friends finished a four-game sweep of the Rockies in the World Series.Lester gets the ball again tonight, as the Red Sox begin a road trip with three games each against the Rockies and Giants. (After that, five of their next eight games are against the Rays.)Scutaro, SS

Martinez, C
Youkilis, 1B

AL East:
Padres/Rays, 7 PMJune 22:
Yankees/Diamondbacks, 9:30 PM
1894 - Washington scores in every inning and beats Boston 26-12. Washington's George Tebeau scores four runs without getting a hit.
1912 - It's Ty Cobb's turn to bat with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, and the Tigers trailing 11-3, but no one can find him. George Mullin pinch-hits and flies out to end the game. Cobb was in the clubhouse taking a shower.
1916 - The Braves pull off a triple steal against the Giants in the 11th inning. It is the only extra-inning triple steal in National League history. It has happened only once in the AL: by the White Sox against the Senators on June 25, 1941.

In this two-part guide, Myles McLeod of the award winning, BAFTA nominated Brothers McLeod, offers a series of practical hints and tips to help you start animating.
So you've had some ideas for your animation, you've worked them into drawings, a script, storyboards and now you're ready to produce the animation. That must mean it's time to develop some really diverting displacement activities. Alternatively you could actually make something.
1 Silence is Golden
It's time to record the dialogue, but "whoa there" you say, "my film is non-dialogue." Great, you get to skip to point 3, and reap the benefits at international film festivals – your story, told in pictures, sound effects and music alone, will be understood without language or subtitles. This is the approach we took for one of our first short films Dog Tired and again for our most recent short The Moon Bird. It's a great way of honing your visual storytelling skills because it doesn't get any more "show don't tell" than this.
2 All Talk
It's time to record the dialogue. You've written some sparkling words and you need to find the right people to say them and bring your characters and story to life. But hang on, maybe you are the right person for the job? It's amazing how much fun you can have pretending to be a sheep from Bristol. Or a ninja who only says, "Fuggy Fuggy!" But it's not for everyone, and there are plenty of talented actors and voice artists out there who can add something amazing to your animation. Ask actors to audition for the part. Let them read the script beforehand so they can prepare and give their best effort. Be prepared to hear their thoughts and accept useful ideas, but remember it's your film.
3 Animatic
An animatic is a rough version of your finished animation. Putting one together from your voice track and storyboards is about as much fun as being Simon Cowell's hairdresser. It's a tedious drudge and not very satisfying on an artistic level. But it's useful and it could save you a lot of frustration later on. I think of the animatic as part of the script and story phase. Once you're able to see a rough version playing out you can tell what is and isn't working. Perhaps the story doesn't get going fast enough? Maybe one of your characters isn't coming alive in the way you hoped? Perhaps there are moments where things are confusing, or where too much is happening at once? It's also useful to see if the shots you've chosen are the right ones, should you add in a close up here, or a wide shot there, or maybe you just need to leave the shot locked off for the whole story? The animatic will help you sort out these problems before you put lots of effort into creating the finished animation.
4 Animation and Collaboration
Yes. It's finally happened. You're ready to scribble with those crayons and paper, or start moving pixels with your funky digital pen and tablet. Let joy be unconfined as at last you begin to actually craft the visual masterwork. The time has finally come for you to get up at 5am and go to bed at 1am and work all the hours in between in an attempt to hit the deadline set by your producer / funder / film festival / competition / self. Yes, this was your decision to become an animator. But there is help! Collaboration can be a wonderful thing. You don't have to animate the whole thing yourself! No really, let go, just a little bit!
5 Displacement activities
The animation is underway and you are busy, busy making tea, watching TV, going to the supermarket, making another cup of tea, looking at the sky, wondering about the weekend, browsing shops online, making more tea, cleaning the house from top to bottom, making to do lists, making tea. Stop it. Get on with the animation. Go on.
6 Doubt
Somewhere around here you start to lose all sense of perspective. Doubts creep in. Once upon a time you were so sure that your animation was a good idea, that the script was good and the designs were good and that it would all be good. But now you've been staring at the screen so long, and watched every scene so many times that you could just as easily be watching a brick wall. You have no idea if your labour of love is brilliant, okay or an absolute pile of effluvia. One thing I'd advise here is to trust your first instincts. When doubts creep in, you often feel like redrawing everything, changing the story completely. You'll try to reinvent everything and think about things too much. Usually the first ideas you had way back when this thing was new and exciting are the ones to stick with. But anyway all this doubt means it's time to find someone you trust to give you honest feedback. And I'm not talking about people that look at it and say, "yeah it's great" and then walk off. Those people are not your friends.
7 Feedback
Accepting feedback and acting on it is one of the hardest things to deal with. One reason it's so hard is that it's not nice when people criticise your work. It can feel like a criticism of you (sometimes it is – they're not your friends either). The second reason it's so hard is that sometimes the advice is like manna from heaven, and other times it's like something dribbly from the bottom of a bin. You have to work out which one it is before modifying your animation. Often you'll know the good advice, because someone will say, "this bit isn't working for me," while something deep inside you like a small grumpy voice will say: "Bugger. I knew that wasn't working, and I've tried to ignore it in the hope it will just fix itself… but now I'll have to do something about it. Bugger! Bugger!"
8 Editing
I'd like to give you lots of technical sage advice about editing, but the truth is I don't know what that would be. We've never used an editor, because we've always done the edit ourselves. Often you'll have the basic structure already in place from your animatic (you did do one right?) For me, the edit is all about feel and instinct. You watch the story unfold and listen to your feelings, could that scene be shorter? Do we even need that shot? If that shot came earlier would it make this scene clearer? It's not very sophisticated advice, but then Heinz treacle sponge isn't sophisticated either, but it is good.
9 Sound Effects and Music
This can be a truly magical phase of making a film. Sometimes adding the sound enables you to see the film as though for the first time again. Slow sections suddenly seem faster. Jokes that seem to have fallen flat suddenly sing and make you laugh. Long boring sections are suddenly filled with melancholy and meaning. The choices you make for sound effects and music can have a dramatic effect on the tone, emotion and atmosphere of your film. If you're not sure what to go with then you can always use existing music from your own collection to see what works best for you. Then write something yourself, get a composer to write something for you or download a rights free song that does the trick. Just remember you can't use published music unless you've sorted out the copyright. Some other advice is get thee to a search engine and type in "diegetic and non-diegetic sound". You might learn something and also be able to impress (bore) people at dinner parties.
10 Delivery
You did it. You finished. It is a strange moment. You didn't believe this moment could exist. But here it is. The whole thing is over. The film is in the can or on the hard drive or something, but it's finished. Now celebrate. Artists always remember to drown their sorrows, but often forget about celebrating their successes. It's important for your mental wellbeing that you allow yourself to feel good about completing something because it will help you do it again!
11 Turn it up to eleven
Hang on! This is a ten-point plan. What's with the point eleven? Making your animation is about 50% of being a filmmaker. The other 50% is telling people you made an animated film. Really, what is the point of putting in all that effort if you don't then promote what you've done. Yes, you may be shy. So am (was) I. Yes, you may be worried people won't like it (and yes some won't like, but others will). But no, you are not allowed to work really hard on something and then not show it to people. That is daft. You'll miss out on some important moments. Like seeing your film screen at the Grande Salle cinema in Annecy in front of an audience of 1000 animation fans. You'll miss meeting new and interesting friends from around the world who also make moving pictures. And you'll miss standing under the portico of the National Gallery seeing your film on a giant inflatable screen under Nelson's Column with Big Ben chiming away in the background. You don't want to miss that. Believe me. So good luck!

Dead Man's Bones and Man Man To Play FYF Fest 2010
The annual Fuck Yeah Fest (aka FYF Fest) is scheduled to once again detonate in Los Angeles this September 4th with another stellar lineup of cutting edge modern music. Joining in the festivities this year will be two of Anti Records very finest acts, the haunting expressionistic rock and roll of Dead Man's Bones and the raucously eclectic vaudevillian outfit hailing from Philadelphia, Man Man.
Dead Man's Bones is the appropriately haunting moniker for the captivating musical duo of Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields. Their shared fascination with ghosts, monsters and zombies merged with a love for artists such as The Shangri-Las, The Shags, The Cure, Sam Cooke, The Misfits, James Brown, Joy Division has given birth to a haunting and beautiful sound as exemplified on their recent album self titled album. Recent performances have resembled an atmospheric vaudeville revival featuring a full children's chorus, strange marionettes and a gaunt magician. A snippet from a recent live review at Examiner.com, "The music reminded me of the wild west had it been portrayed in a sadistic romance novel... The vocals were chilling and just when I thought the show couldn't possibly intrigue me more, up from below climbed a local children's choir that sang backing vocals for each song... In essence this particular concert was the very thing I needed."
The extraordinary musical virtuosos of Philadelphia's Man Man create an infectious rhythmic noise that defies easy categorization. A glorious mix of vaudevillian doo wop, kinetic punk energy and rousing funk, they are the unlikeliest yet undeniably potent party band. Yet each show leaves blessed out audiences chanting for more. As reported by Pitchfork, "Dressed in white shorts and white shirts and sporting white and red face paint, they begin to blow, hit, pinch their instruments creating a noise that pulses out from the huge speakers near the stage, the audience jumps in excitement. What sounds like chaotic instrumental warm-up soon finds its rhythm and its beat; three minutes later, a song is complete. ... You'll find yourself moving and shaking along to the music they're beating life into, and watching them with a smile on your face, knowing that if given another chance you'd go see them live again."
The FYF Fest will take place September 4th at the Los Angeles State Historical Park 1245 North Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles. For more information, go to: http://www.fyffest.com/

Starting a new job is always tough. You want early success to prove you really were the right pick.
That's especially true if you happen to be the first woman to hold that job. Ever.
So when President Obama on Wednesday nominated Janet Yellen to lead the Federal Reserve, she might have had two reactions: 1) Yippee and 2) Uh-oh.
As Fed head, Yellen would have to guide interest-rate policy in a way that boosts economic growth without triggering inflation.
The pressures would be enormous. Example: Just as Yellen's appointment was being rolled out, the International Monetary Fund was warning that if the Fed were to mishandle timing of a gradual move to higher interest rates, it could cause $2.3 trillion in global bond portfolio losses.
So from Day 1 on the new job, any slip-up could trigger an economic calamity.
But when introducing her as his choice, Obama expressed confidence, saying she's "extremely well-qualified" and "renowned for her good judgment."
Most of her peers predict Yellen, 67, will be able to handle the pressure.
"Dr. Yellen is superbly qualified," said a letter signed by more than 500 leading economists who urged the White House to nominate her. "She has shown consistently good judgment in all her roles leading our nation's financial institutions and economic policy."
Even many economists opposed to White House policies have voiced respect for Yellen.
"Her forecasts, as it turns out, have been more accurate" than those who feared the Fed was being too loose with monetary policy, according to Stephen Oliner, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative research group.
But some fear Yellen would not be sufficiently tough on inflation. "Janet Yellen believes in higher inflation," according to a statement from Rich Danker, economics director of American Principles in Action, a group favoring "sound" money policies. "Her obsession with printing money raises the risk of higher prices," he said.
Yellen's nomination is subject to Senate confirmation, and she may face opposition from some Republicans.
"I voted against Vice Chairman Yellen's original nomination to the Fed in 2010 because of her dovish views on monetary policy," Senate Banking Committee member Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said in a statement. "I am not aware of anything that demonstrates her views have changed."
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Republican Party's whip in the Senate, expressed reservations, saying Yellen "subscribes to the liberal school of thought" on monetary policy.
But the conventional wisdom, both in Washington and Wall Street, is that she will win approval because of her heavyweight resume.
From her Ph.D. in economics at Yale in 1971 to her current role as Fed vice chairman, her career is packed with accomplishments. Among the highlights: her years on the Fed board; teaching stints at Harvard and Berkeley; service as the chairwoman of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers; and her presidency of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank.
If approved by the Senate, she would take office in February, after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke steps down.
"Janet Yellen is supremely qualified to helm the central bank" and will be sufficiently tough on inflation, IHS Global Insight economist Paul Edelstein wrote in an analysis. "We don't anticipate that inflation will run higher than 2 percent during her tenure," he said. Edelstein predicted she would be confirmed.
Yellen and Bernanke have both supported the Fed's monetary stimulus campaign, which has been in effect since the financial crisis began five years ago.
In English, that means the U.S. economy has been in lousy shape since 2008. So the Fed has pushed down interest rates, year after year, to make it easier for businesses to borrow money and for consumers to get home mortgages and car loans. Their goal was to make loans cheap enough to boost the economy, which still has a 7.3 percent unemployment rate.
The Fed wants that to be no more than 6.5 percent.
But earlier this year, Bernanke said it's getting to be time to slowly "taper" down the stimulus efforts. Minutes from the Fed's September policy meeting — which were released on Wednesday — show Fed officials were worried about changing policies at a time when the U.S. economy still looks feeble. But they hope to start making changes by year's end.
Obama's choice of Yellen means current policies will continue for now — and perhaps even a bit longer than under a Bernanke chairmanship. That's because she has often called attention to the need for more jobs.
Earlier this year she said in a speech: "With unemployment so far from its longer-run normal level, I believe progress on reducing unemployment should take center stage" when the Fed is deciding policy.
So as Fed chairwoman, Yellen would have to manage how and when the Fed "tapers" down. If it shifts too quickly, it could choke off growth in the housing market. If it moves too slowly, the immense amounts of cash floating around the economy could start to morph into inflation.
Critics say the Fed's easy-money policy already has gone on too long. In fact, many Tea Party conservatives just don't like the Fed in general, saying it has too much power.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, already has said he'll use the confirmation process as some type of leverage to push for legislation requiring a deeper examination of the Fed.
