Enthroned Interviews and Features
Below are our features and interviews with Enthroned.
Nornagest Explains New Enthroned Disc "Sovereigns"
The Belgian black metal masters are back! Following 2012's "Obsidium," Enthroned has released new dark opus "Sovereigns," out now via Agonia Records. This latest Satanic incantation bears artwork painted by guitarist Neraath, featuring the addition of blood and "other tissues" from the band members.
Frontman Nornagest recently checked in with Metalunderground.com for an interview detailing the creation of "Sovereigns," the album's lyrics, his favorite beer, and joining fellow Belgian outfit Goat Torment, which can all be read below. More...
An Interview with Nornagest of Enthroned
Belgian horde Enthroned is a group that has clung limpet like to the potent barrel of old school black metal since their inception in 1994. However, unlike many of their peers who faded into dusty carbon copies of the quintessential second wave black metal sound, Enthroned continued to taper and weld their lethal assault utilising tight execution and razor sharp technicality to create an aural barrage of ear drum pricking astringency. Recently, I caught up with Nornagest to probe deep into the new album, "Pentagrammaton," set for release early next year on Regain Records. More...

Two half-sisters enter the cut-throat world of stamp collecting when they inherit a pair of rare stamps that may be worth millions. While the sisters battle over whether to sell or keep the stamps, three shady stamp collectors will stop at nothing to get their hands on the priceless items. "Mauritius" is the name of this latest offering by the Drama Group, presented Friday and Saturday evenings through April 5 at 8 p.m. in Pilling Hall at The First United Methodist Church of Germantown, 6001 Germantown Ave. between High St. and Walnut Lane.
Germantown's Robert Bauer, a founding member of the Drama Group, directs the play. "Mauritius is an island off the coast of South Africa, once taken over by the British, and they were only the fifth nation ever to issue stamps," he explained, "making them extremely valuable. And so begins the intrigue, mixed with twist and turns, comedy and drama."
Bauer's own life took a turn when he happened into theater by chance. "I always loved theater but was too shy to ever get involved until one day a group of us were rounded up at First Methodist and asked to do a reading for an Ash Wednesday service," Bauer recalled. "Well, some of us agree to do it, and in the process found out we were having so much fun that we wanted to do even more. Eventually the Drama Group was formed in 1980, and that's how I finally, happily got involved in theater."
Today the group no longer does religious plays but rather showcases mainstream productions. And although they still perform at the church, they are an independent entity no longer associated with the church. Bauer, 72, who directs the plays at what has evolved into a community theater, also acts on occasion, and said when he's on stage his shyness goes away. "Being on stage helped me get over my shyness because on stage you're not yourself but somebody else. And suddenly, because of that, I realized I could be anybody on stage and translate that into my own everyday life."
Over the years, he's been seen acting in "Our Town" at the Arden Theatre, "Amadeus" at the Wilma Theatre, "Bus Stop" at Stagecrafters, "Gem of the Ocean" at Bushfire Theater and others. Admitting that acting was his first love, when he auditioned for a part and wasn't cast, he said he then just sort of fell into directing. "And as an actor I felt I knew what actors needed and wanted from their directors. And even though I was untrained, I felt I could give that to them."
His directorial skills are now limited to the Drama Group, with the exception of directing one production at Allens Lane, a happy experience he said he may repeat again next season. As a director, Bauer said he's involved with "hiring the actors and then telling them what to do. I work with them and try to get the best performances out of them that I can. I like to see what the actors have to offer and then work with that, encouraging them to do what they're already instinctively doing best."
For the productions, two a year, Bauer said he works with others on designing lights and sound, but designs his own sets with the assistance of his wife, Sandy Clay Bauer. "I met her while we were both attending the Philadelphia College of Art, now part of the University of the Arts. We married in 1969 and have been together and worked together ever since. Before my retirement in 2005, I was a graphic designer and my wife an illustrator."
They met every challenge as a team, as they do now at the Drama Group. Such a group, Bauer said, must overcome several challenges. "First of all, we perform in a church so people think we're doing religious drama, and nothing could be further from the truth. I always say we're the best kept secret in Northwest Philly. We've been doing this since 1980 and people still don't know we're here. Also," he adds, "is the stigma of being looked at as 'just' community theater, which is hard to overcome, too, and yet this area is very, very rich in good community theater, as anybody who attends theater in our area can vouch for."
Today, describing himself as an actor and a director, Bauer admits there's joy in every aspect of his theatrical work. "As an actor, working with other actors to create a character that gets a welcome response from the audience is wonderful. The applause, the laughter, all of it is just great. And as a director, my greatest thrill is watching a production that I put together come to life and see an audience enjoy and appreciate it. What better thrill could there be?
Because of strong language, this production is not recommended for children. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door. For more information, call 215-438-7331 or visit www.thedramagroup.org.

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2011 Collection at Paris Fashion WeekOct.08, 2010
The Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2011 Collection at Paris Fashion Week without any doubt can be called successful. This was the first catwalk collection after the Alexander McQueen's tragic death in February. Sarah Burton, who now became the creative director of the brand, kept to the extravagant, powerful, edgy and a little aggressive McQueen's style, but made the collection more light, soft and optimistic.
The designer used wild animal prints, mostly natural materials and golden embroidery. Stiffened silhouettes had weightless look, though they were constructed perfectly.
The corsette belts made from the leather leaves, that cinched bohemian style dresses, the monarch butterflies, that laced the neck and chest of a short dress, white military frock coats – all of those were remarkable highlights of the show.
In general the entire combination of fabric, textures, shapes and colors was perfectly underlining woman's natural beauty.
Here is the Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2011 Collection:
The make up was not as aggressive, as McQueen's. There were no whited-out faces and dark lips, Sarah Burton made models look fresh and young.
The show was absolutely magnificent and remarkable, Sarah Burton brought the fresh look to the Alexander McQueen's house, at the same time keeping the McQueen's spirit alive.

How far are you willing to go to prove a point?
here. Although mine turned out more red than purple, I assumed I'm doing it right.
Wow, this is a very unique, delicious sounding jam - I'm crazy about jams and love how you can incorporate an almost infinite number of ingredients for fun, fabulous jams like this one!ReplyDelete
@ The Cafe Sucre Farine: Thank you, dear, I didn't know jams could be fun.. :) Will try crazier stuff next.Delete
Confession time: I have never tried making homemade jam. This recipe and the combination of flavors, however, just made the top of my to-make list. It sounds delicious!ReplyDelete
@ Ruby: Yuppers! I'm a beginner as well...Delete
Black tea in jam. Caffeine hit in jam! I like it!ReplyDelete
@ WokandSpoon: YES!! the more Caffeine the better! ;DDelete
This combination of flavours sounds absolutely incredible. Tea lends such gorgeous depth of flavour to sweet dishes and I can imagine the cinnamon really brings it to life - I might have to have a go at making this as I was to make a crostata soon and need some homemade jam!ReplyDelete
@ thelittleloaf: YEA!!! the tea. Such bittersweet aroma to sugar. Then the cinnamon, a kick in the pants. :) I was just open to homemade jam. I think it's a little too sweet but was afraid to alter anything too much. (what if they don't thicken?!)Delete
Come on!!! It looks amazing!!
Now you are the queen of jams! :) I love them all, they are easy to make, healthier and you can cook 836273682763 flavours! :D Plus they taste a million times better than the store ones!
About the colour its because i used another type of plum mine was all dark :)
@ Noelia: MASTER! Thank you! :) I need to ask what if we reduce the amount of sugar, will it thicken?! (I was looking for the purple plum)...Delete
Plum jam flavoured with black tea and cinnamon.....I am thoroughly tempted!ReplyDelete
@ Angie: I thought you'd love it ;)Delete
1. I think I need this jam. Like, now.
2. Also, I have been blessed with the strongest family gene: stubbornness. This generally means I'll do anything to prove a point. Even if it means looking like a complete arse...
@ Movita: Stubbornness. Yes, we all are.. And we turn into asses :DDelete
Yum!! I've been thinking I'd like to try out some homemade jam myself, and this looks like the perfect way to start! I can't wait to try it.ReplyDelete
@ Treble: heya! if you're not a sweet-tooth person, I reckon using less sugar. It's a little too sweet for me although the house doesn't think so.Delete
Awesome! I will definitely try that! I used to have a huge sweet tooth, but now I can't stand to eat much sugar anymore. It's weird, but probably good.Delete
@ Treble Tart: It's definitely good :DDelete
Woww, i love the combination ! I always make homemade jams, and i love to try new flavours ! Grat photos too.
@ Ana Maria Ciolacu: I visited your web and all looked familiar. Then i realised, Oh I often went there, got jealous of your pictures and pout.Delete
What do you mean by 1/2 orange juice? Exactly how much? Would love to try this recipe.ReplyDelete
How much is 1/2 orange juice
Juice of half of an orange.. Hope you like it..Delete

Photo Collage••
iOS Universal Photography
In typesetting, justified text is the setting of text in a column so that the start and end of each line of text meets both the left and right edge.
Photo Collage performs a similar justification of images, creating justified "photo paragraphs." In this way you can easily create beautiful rectangular collages of your photos automatically.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, a paragraph of pictures is even more meaningful.
For example, you can use Photo Collage to create pictorial food recipes. Or a photographic chronological diary of your vacation. Generally any chronologically ordered photo set is a good application of a justified layout. See our website for some examples.
Collage dimensions are altered by pinching in and out on the collage. Pinch vertically to alter the height, and diagonally to alter it's width. (By choosing the pinch mode, you can also use pinching to set the border width.)
There is a built-in photo editor. Tap a photo in the collage to open it up in the photo editor. You can enhance, filter, frame, crop, rotate, add text and more. (The original photo is not altered).
You can modify the border width of the photos, and make this border transparent, colored or a tiling of the clipboard image. (Search online for "tiled backgrounds" to get started. Then copy tiles out of your browser into Photo Collage on the "Border Color" pane. )
For best results use mixed photo sizes so that the width of the photos in the collage vary. For example, if using your camera to add photos, try mixing portrait, landscape, square & panorama modes.
The Mac version is PhotosCollage, at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photoscollage./id628960643
• Import photos from your Photos library, including those stored in iCloud, or the clipboard, or shoot photos from within the app.
• The rendered collage will always be output in maximal size, based on the available free memory.
• Pinch collage diagonally and vertically to reshape it.
• Photo layout is automatic based on collage dimensions, so each row of photos fits the width of the collage as you like.
• Collage is always scaled to fit on the screen so it is easy to reshape it as desired.
• Use preview from the Share menu to view the collage full size. Pan and zoom by dragging and pinching on the preview image.
• Drag any photo onto another to swap them.
• Reorder and remove photos in the list editor.
• Border's can be transparent, colored or a tiling of the clipboard image.
• Set pinch mode to alter collage border width or collage dimensions.
• Message, email, copy, print or save collage to camera roll.
• Tap a photo to edit it in the app using Aviary.
• Edit a photo to enhance, filter, frame, rotate, crop, adjust, and much more.
• You can export all the collage photos individually to your photos album. This is useful when you use the camera to add photos to the collage.
• Photos for the current collage are saved in the app's documents folder and restored on app launch.
• You can access the collage photos using iTunes. In iTunes select your device, click "Apps" in the menu bar, then scroll down to "File Sharing" and select "Photo Collage". The photos will appear to the right in a folder named 'Photos'. Drag this folder to a folder on your Mac, like the Desktop.
This version of Photo Collage contains in-app purchases in the Aviary Photo Editor to extend its effects, frames and stickers.
The "no-ad" version of Photo Collage is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-collage-+/id601775198
What's New
New features:
• Collage is now always scaled to fit on the screen.
• Drag and Drop photos in the collage to swap their positions in the collage.
• Image picker can now access photos stored in iCloud.
• Preview mode has been enhanced: you can now zoom and pan the preview by pinching and dragging. Use preview from the Share menu to view collage full size using pinch to zoom in, and drag to pan.
• Added Photos menu items 'New User Tips', 'Startup Tips Collage' to review the initial tips and collage resp. that are displayed on the apps first run.

On Monday, we presented this week's shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle whence it came. Many of you provided some decent guesses as to which car this week's shifter belongs to, but only Geoff Olson correctly identified it as a Jeep CJ-7's stick. He will receive a Save the Manuals button and sticker as a reward.
The CJ-7 Laredo pictured here is from our November 1980 issue. An evergreen favorite for rock crawling and off-roading in general, the CJ-7 was a huge improvement from its predecessor, the CJ-5. Still, even with a new four-speed transmission, the Jeep could only muster a 19.8-second quarter-mile time at a wheezy 66 mph; 60 mph required 15.8 seconds. Although our test model shed a few parts during its stay with us, speed and build quality couldn't stand in the way of the CJ-7's substantial fun factor.

As husbands go, Mike Tindall hasn't earned many brownie points during his eight-month marriage to Zara Phillips. First, there was the engagement: a spur-of-the-moment proposal during a Saturday night on the sofa watching X-Men. Hardly romantic – or befitting of the Queen's granddaughter. Next, despite a generous offer from Princess Anne to pay for the surgery, he refused to have his nose straightened before the wedding.
Then there were his antics during last year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, when Tindall, who was acting captain of the England team at the time, was captured on CCTV during a drunken stint at a Queenstown night club, getting up close and personal with an ex-girlfriend. And let's not even mention the dwarf-throwing contest.
But this time Tindall has gone too far. Yesterday we learnt that the rugby player has invited one of his team-mates to live in the house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, that he shares with Zara. Yes, that's right, a lodger in their marital home – who has, apparently, been in situ for three months.
Ollie Phillips (no relation), 29, knows Tindall from Gloucester rugby club, and is said to have moved in to their home "while he was flat-hunting" in January. The former England Sevens captain shows no signs of moving out, having ingratiated himself with the couple's two dogs, and referring to himself on Twitter as "house-wife to @Miketindall13".
Poor Zara. As if having one hulking beefcake of a man for a housemate wasn't bad enough, now she has two. Did she have any choice in the matter? According to a friend: "It might seem an unorthodox start to married life, but they are very chilled out. After a big night, Zara even cooks breakfast for everyone." She and Tindall haven't yet celebrated their first wedding anniversary and already she is cooking for three and sharing her £800,000 house with piles of unwashed, muddy kit.
Having moved in with Tindall in 2009, Zara should be used to the mess a rugby-playing husband can make. Being a top sportswoman herself, she might even empathise – after all, she spends her days surrounded by hay and horse manure, so she's likely to cut Tindall some slack when it comes to the laundry. But that doesn't mean she should have to put up with his mate. Living with one rugby player is bad enough; living with two is a nightmare.
I grew up in a house of rugby nuts. My dad was a professional player. He spent weeks away from home training or on tour – missing my birth because he was playing in the first Rugby World Cup in Australia – and regularly came back bruised and bloodied, stinking of Deep Heat muscle rub. Then my brother took up the game and the cycle started again. Broken limbs, bloody noses, black eyes – just an average week in my rugby-mad household.
The injuries were one thing, the mess another. Our white-tiled kitchen floor had to be replaced after years of dirty kit bags being dumped by the washing machine. There was always a heap of mud-spattered boots by the back door, and we had to scrub the bathroom when my brother used it after rugby practice. My mum despaired; our pristine family home was transformed into a sweaty male changing room at least once a week. And, like Zara, there was nothing she could do to stop it.
The problem with men who play rugby is that they are a social group like no other. Perhaps it's the sheer manliness of a sport that involves men shoving their faces between other men's legs, but they are masculine in the extreme – particularly together. Food is consumed in preposterously big portions and they have little time between weights sessions and kicking practice to tidy up after themselves. On a recent visit to a house shared by three rugby-playing friends, I counted the pairs of muddy shoes, trainers and boots discarded in the hall. There were 38.
Just when Zara thought her new husband was ready to settle down properly, her romantic dinner for two has become a beery lads' night in – for three. So here's some advice for Ollie Phillips: pack your bags and move out. The 13th in line to the throne shouldn't have to share her husband with anyone, let alone his team-mate. Zara already has one bit of rough in her life. She definitely doesn't need two.

The final thoroughbred meet of the racing season at Los Alamitos Race Course features the last major graded stakes race for juveniles this year with the running of Saturday's CashCall Futurity. Horse racing bettors will get one final glimpse at a few up-and-coming 2-year-olds.
The winner of this race is sure to move up in the rankings as one of the early 3-year olds to watch for the 2017 Kentucky Derby Trail. While the final field for Saturday's main event has yet to be set, I have singled out a trio of 2-year old probables to wheel together in a trifecta play.
2016 CashCall Futurity Stakes
The CashCall Futurity is a Grade 1 stakes race open to 2-year old thoroughbreds. It will be contested on the dirt track at Los Alamitos over a distance of 1 1/16 miles and the total guaranteed prize purse has been set at $300,000.
Famed trainer Bob Baffert is expected to have two entries in this race, and I see both of them finishing in the money starting with Mastery (pictured) as my top choice. This 2-year old Kentucky-bred colt has proven himself to be a legitimate Kentucky Derby contender with a recent victory in the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes at Del Mar over a distance of seven furlongs Nov. 19. This followed a victory in a Maiden Special Weight race at Santa Anita on Oct. 22 in his only two races as a juvenile.
A pedigree of Candy Ride, Mastery is already ranked by Horse Racing Nation at No. 254 and he should boast the highest HRN rating in the field at 7.71.
My second choice for Saturday would be trainer Doug O'Neill's Dangerfield. This Kentucky-bred colt has been busy as a 2-year old with five previous races on his early resume. Following just one finish in the money at Del Mar in three previous MSW races this summer, he started to get into gear with a first-place run in the non-graded Oak Tree Juvenile Stakes at Pleasanton on Oct. 1 over a distance of 1 mile 70 yards. O'Neill extended the distance a bit in his first graded event Nov. 19, and the colt responded with a third-place finish in the Grade 3 Delta Downs Jackpot at a distance of 1 1/16 miles. Dangerfield has earned a solid HRN rating of 6.87 for his early efforts as a pedigree of Into Mischief. This race is a chance to prove that he deserves to be in the conversation when it comes to Kentucky Derby hopefuls.
Baffert's other probable entry into Saturday's race is Hot Sean, who is coming off a very promising second-place finish in last month's Delta Downs Jackpot. He has an HRN rating of 5.47, which could be a bit low in my book given his latest run. This Kentucky-bred colt started his racing career by taking second in a MSW race at Del Mar on Aug. 28 at a distance of 5½ furlongs. A pedigree of Flatter with a progeny that can be traced all the way back to Seattle Slew, it was very encouraging to see him handle the added distance his last time out.
Another colt to watch in this race would be Bobby Abu Dhabi with a HRN rating of 6.12. Trained by Peter Miller, this is one more Kentucky-bred 2-year old trying to make a name for himself in what will be his first career start.

Nursing and writing have many things in common. Both require hard work, determination, a strong stomach and a good sense of humour. Each offers great rewards: an insight into humanity, life, love and death, the chance to see inside people, real or imagined. The similarities may be striking, but changing careers from nursing to writing has been quite a battle. Yesterday, though, my first novel, Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away, was shortlisted for a Costa Book Award.
I had always wanted to write, for as long as I can remember, but I was terrified that I'd be no good at it. I left school at 16 with a handful of GCSEs to take up a nursing course. At 17, I began training to become a children's nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and secured my first job there at the age of 20. I worked my way up the nursing career ladder, eventually settling at St Mary's children's intensive care unit, where I was part of a fantastic team. Something niggled, though. I still dreamed of writing. But still my confidence failed. It was only when my daughter was born that I found the courage. After giving birth, I discovered that I was afraid of nothing and wrote my first short story. A friend read it, and said it was good. Send it to UEA, she said. That's the best place.
So on a whim, I applied to UEA and won a place on its MA course. I turned up there without so much as an A level to my name, not even quite sure where an apostrophe actually went, and was completely intimidated by the cleverness of those around me. But those around me became my support and my lifelong friends. And I gained more support – from Nigerian writers I would consider to be my heroes, who convinced me I could tell a Nigerian story.
That very first short story won the Malcolm Bradbury Bursary and it grew to become my first novel. It is about a girl growing up in Lagos, Nigeria. It is about politics of oil, gender, poverty, sameness and difference. It is the same novel that, yesterday, was shortlisted alongside Julian Barnes.
Since hearing the news, I have pinched myself so often I can't feel the pain any more. I became a writer for the same reasons I became a nurse, in order to make sense of the world. The world still makes no sense at all to me sometimes – but, my goodness, what a journey I've had.
I grew up as part of the Comic Relief generation. I dressed up, got involved with fund-raising and stood outside the local chip shop, shaking my tin at passers-by to help the children of Africa. I regarded the few black children in my school with pity. If they had not come from a mud hut in Africa, then surely their parents must have.
On my first trip to Nigeria 10 years ago, to visit my partner's family, I felt cheated. There was not a mud hut in sight and everyone, it seemed, was driving a new BMW. I visited Chinese restaurants and cocktail bars, went to literary evenings and art galleries. I did find traditional villages, of course, and I also found a strong sense of community. It made me think of home, of not knowing all my neighbours, and of how lonely it can be raising young children in Britain.
During a radio interview yesterday, the presenter asked me, a white woman, about writing from a black (Nigerian) girl's point of view. I told her about my decision to write outside my own cultural experiences. Later in the interview, I described my life with my Nigerian Muslim partner and our children and family, all of our different cultures and faiths, my pride in our melting pot. The presenter laughed and pointed out that I was writing from inside my own culture, after all.

Re: Recent finds and pickups
Posted: May 18th, 2016, 11:48 am
I recently picked up this J.C. Higgins "Bucky Walters" model glove. I think it is from the late 1930's-40's. I like the double finger lacing and the one piece face, kind of an unusual combination. It's a really large glove typical of the 40's and buttery soft leather. I wonder if George Reach Co. made gloves for Higgins in that time frame. The glove has some similarities to other Geo. Reach models I have.

- GooglePlex Irvine To Revolutionize Radio Advertising
Zachary Applegate posted his visit to the GooglePlex Irvine at SEOMoz, where he describes the demonstration given to him by Google. The demo, Zach coined, "Google AdSense Audio," a method of "dynamically generate and change commercial content according to demographic and what is currently going on in the geographic area of radio stations." Zach explains that Google is entering this market to enable those with "$200 budgets to break into radio advertising." We first reported that Google was potentially entering this area, back when Google bought dMarc Broadcasting, the SEOMoz blog has screen captures of the technology and the…
- MSN Search To Officially Not Use Yahoo Search Marketing For Sponsored Search July 1
I reported over the Search Engine Roundtable that Yahoo's and MSN's relationship is coming to an official end this month. The official Yahoo announcement can be seen here and it states, "MSN's U.S. search distribution agreement with Yahoo Search Marketing ends this month, and Yahoo Sponsored Search listings will no longer appear in MSN's U.S. search results." MSN has been displaying mostly Microsoft adCenter ads on their search results pages for a couple months now. So the transition has been pretty gradual for advertisers and searchers….
- Ask.com Removes "Legacy Filters" To Enable Pedophilia Keyword Search
About a week ago we covered a story that Ask.com was blocking search terms such as laws against pedophilia and preventing child pornography, amongst others. Philipp notes that Ask.com has removed the "legacy filters" to enable those types of searches. In fact, for the search on preventing child pornography, you get a special "smart answer" for "Child Abuse Resources."…

The Wired 40 was just released and Google has secured the top spot, at number one this year. They have bumped off Apple, who last year ranked number one. Wired commented on Google with the following; Less cuddly but more profitable than ever, the monster from Mountain View has rivals but no peers. Is it a search engine? A media company? A software provider? Who cares? Microsoft, for one. Get ready for the grudge match of the decade. Wired is a huge Apple fan and supporter, as far as I know. For them to hand over the spot to Google,…
- Yahoo Gains Market Share In China, Google Loses Share

- Another Microsoft Executive Leaves To Join Google
CNN Money reports that another Microsoft executive has left the company this month. A 15 year veteran, general manager for platform evangelism at Microsoft, Vic Gundotra, has left Microsoft to join Google.

During that time Gundotra will be working on his "charitable endeavors."…
- Yahoo Settles Clickfraud Lawsuit
A California judge has approved Yahoo's proposed settlement of a class action click fraud case brought against the company by Checkmate Strategic Group in June 2005. Yahoo believes the settlement will cover all click fraud claims that have been filed against Yahoo, including a suit filed by Lane's Gifts and Collectibles in Arkansas last year against both Yahoo and Google. The terms of the settlement include a cash payment of $4.95 million to plaintiffs' counsel and a provision that will allow advertisers to file a claim for Yahoo to investigate potentially fraudulent clicks back through January 2004. Yahoo will pay…
- Google Book Search Wins Victory In German Challenge

- Google Loses French Lawsuit Over Vuitton Trademark
I just got word that Google lost the French lawsuit we reported on Monday involving the Louis Vuitton trademark. I do not have any more details at the moment, only that they lost. I will try to update this entry when I have more information. Postscript: I was just sent this information from Bloomberg news. "Google Inc. must pay LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA 300,000 euros ($375,800) for breaching copyright rules with its advertising service, a French Appellate court ruled."…
- Google and Yahoo Come to the Aid of Craigslist
As many people already know, Craigslist is being sued under federal housing discrimination law for allowing the posting of allegedly discriminatory ads seeking certain types or classes of roommates and tenants (e.g., based on religious affiliation or sexual preference). Legally you can't post those kinds of ads in the newspaper and the newspaper that runs them is liable for housing discrimination. For those interested, here's a copy of the complaint (pdf format) against Craigslist….

CNN Money has an Business 2.0 interview with Dick Costolo, FeedBurner's CEO. The article discusses the challenge FeedBurner had raising capital for such a new technology, RSS. It also discusses their recent success and future challenges (RSS ads, Google, etc.). Read the article named Redefining the RSS feed….
- Some Funny & Crazy Yahoo Videos On YouTube
Loren Baker posted some of the funniest and craziest videos he found on YouTube related to Yahoo. If you have time to only watch one video, I recommend watching the first one. Pretty funny stuff. Other videos include, Tom Cruise's Yahoo visit, David Filo and Jerry Yang commercial, "Yahoo Cubicle Craziness," and some others. Check them out at Search Engine Journal….

The Detroit News reports that Dell is going to use Google Earth as a tool to enhanced their technical support services. The new tech support service, to be released today, is named "Platinum Plus." Platinum Plus subscribers will be given access to "Google Earth Pro to see in real-time how the Round Rock company is responding to technical support issues around the globe." Dell and Google have some recent past positive relationships this just adds to that list….
- New Search Patent Applications: June 27, 2006 – Searching Amongst Malicious Web Sites
Microsoft's patent applications from the end of last week include ways for search engines to scan malicious web sites, clustering queries for more relevant searches, and extracting feature and formatting information from pages. IBM introduces a new query dependent page ranking algorithm, and a way to preload the URLs of a site into your history file before you've ever visited. Xerox searches for more meaningful snippets, Alcatel takes the PC out of search, and replaces it with TV, and British Telecommunications describes a way to make user profiles more helpful in returning search results….
- Microsoft Demographics Prediction Tool Interactive Review
We posted about Microsoft Center Labs once again, but this time I wanted to show you, my eight-minute review of the demographics prediction tool at the lab. I created a movie of my running through the tool and uploaded it to YouTube. Now, before you watch the video, keep in mind that the percentages I discussed in the video may be determined as a "confidence" ratio and not a simple flat percentage — you will see what I mean. In any case, there is no way that google.com has predominantly a female audience, with a confidence ratio of 1.00 and.
- Image Database To Fight Online Child Porn
The AP reports that AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft, EarthLink, NetZero and Juno are teaming up to fight child pornography. They are pooling together $1 million to build a database of pornographic images of children and software to match the image database with similar matches on their own networks. So Yahoo may scan email attachments, Yahoo Groups images and other places in the Yahoo network where images may be. If any of the images match an image in the database, it can be flagged and sent to the authorities. The exact details of the software and how it will be used have…
- Still No Results Found For A Google Search on Amazon.com
John Battelle asked why Google was/is returning no results for a search on [amazon.com" at 9am (PST, I think) yesterday. At the time, I felt it wasn't a huge deal, these things happen on occasion at Google, normally not for such a large brand, but it happens, nevertheless. What is a bit surprising is that Google is obviously aware of the issue, based on John telling us Google contacted him with a confirmation of the issue, but Google has yet to fix the issue, almost a day later. LeeAnn Prescott at the HitWise blog provides some value statistical insight into…
- Follow-Up: School Couldn't Reach Google Until Injunction Filed
Catawba County Schools in North Carolina obtained an injunction to remove private material from Google because it had no luck getting action from the search engine after trying other routes, the district tells me. The school district also stressed that it didn't claim that Google had somehow hacked into its servers. Here's what Catawba County School's chief technology officer Judith Ray emailed me about the situation:…
- Cost-Per-Keyword Drops In Q1
MediaPost reports that the cost-per-keyword has dropped from around $30 in the first quarter of 2006 to "the yearly high of $59 last December." The data comes from a DoubleClick study, which also shows that the "cost-per-keyword was nearly unchanged from the first three months of 2005 to this year's first quarter." The number of clicks (up 24%) and number of keywords did rise from the year-over-year data….
- MSN Talks Spam Defenses; Takes Weekends Off From Indexing
This morning I uncovered two threads at WebmasterWorld that provide information on MSN from spam defense to when search indexes get updated. The first is named MSN Asks Webmasters, What is Spam? where MSNdude provides some insights into how MSN determines what is spam, what are junk pages and determining the "hierarchy of spam." The second is named MSN Won't Do a Search Index Update on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays where we see MSNdude posting that normally MSN will not conduct a search index update on Saturdays and Sundays, and also they are unlikely to conduct an update on Fridays,…
- France's Géoportail Mapping Site: La Demande C'est Fantastique!
The French answer to Google Earth, the indirectly government funded Geoportail, launched Friday and was immediately overwhelmed with visits from eager French citoyens (citizens) and other curious would-be users. After several visits to the site this weekend, I was still unable to get in to see anything. Each time I tried I encountered this message: "Vous etes incroyablement nombreux a vous connecter au Geoportail, portail des territoires et des citoyens depuis sa mise en ligne." In my broken French it roughly translates: "An incredible number of you have connected to Geoportail, portal of the territories and the citizens, since the…

The Return of the Past
This exhibition looks at some of the most important projects by the leading architects associated with postmodernism, revealing the energy, ingenuity and intellectual depth of an important and influential moment in British architecture
Architecture and Freedom
I am guest-editing a special issue of Architectural Design in which a variety of contributors explore what freedom means for architecture as it adapts and evolves in response to the changing contexts in it which it is practised in the 21st century.
The Roman Singularity
My first exhibition project at the Soane was 'The Roman Singularity' by architectural designer Adam Nathaniel Furman – a city of 3D-printed models, alongside a new site-specific work created by Furman especially for the Museum.
Sensing Architecture
Deriving from a symposium in 2014, this digital publication comprises a collection of essays exploring the different registers of ideas – philosophical, psychological, social and economic – that shape our experience of architecture.
Origins – A Project by Ordinary Architecture
My final project at the Royal Academy of Arts was Origins, which comprised a series of interventions around Burlington House designed by Ordinary Architecture that offer a counterpoint to architecture's mythical origins.
Soane Talks
In September 2017, I launched a new talks programme at Sir John Soane's Museum that take inspiration from Soane's intention the Museum act as an 'academy of architecture'. More information about the initial series can be found at soane.org
Style: In Defence of… The Baroque
I have contributed to Machine Books' series of essays: 'Style: In Defence Of…'. My choice was the Baroque, which I argued is less a style and more a 'deep-seated and irrepressible urge for architecture that is bold, defiant and demands our attention'.
Lost Futures
Published in January 2017, my latest book is Lost Futures – an exploration of 35 post-war British buildings that have been demolished or heavily altered, and the values and ideologies that shaped both their creation and eventual destruction.
From the Shadows
Published in 2015, this book is the result of a near 10-year fascination with the architecture of Nicholas Hawksmoor. As befitting the fame of its subject, the book has been widely – and usually positively – reviewed.

I've been saying for months that Obama and his supporters can't avoid discussing the issues forever. Last night was the end of the road for what his campaign has been up to thus far.For me, Chris Matthews' angry meltdown on Maddow's show last night summed it up:http://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-chris-matthews-epic-meltdow..."This tonight wasn't an MSNBC debate, was it? It just wasn't," he said.Indeed it wasn't an MSNBC debate. In an MSNBC debate, Lehrer would have asked Romney questions like Why do Republicans hate blacks so much? and Why are so many Republicans in favor of raping women? and Republicans just can't seem to connect with younger voters and the poor. Is it because your party is old and out of touch?And so on. Those aren't real questions. They don't ask about real issues. Voters want to see leadership and visions for the future, not 24/7 gotchas. Obama fell flat on his face last night because he wasn't prepared. Let's expand on that point.In liberal bubbles "debate" happens with a either a pinata posing as a Republican or you find a live one and tie him to a chair. Bound and gagged. Then the left can whale on the guy and declare victory. That's an "MSNBC debate" and the main reason why that entire network is a joke. In the real world, you have to face a real live Republican who gets to counter the bullcrap. You don't get a debate moderator to bail you out - as Maddow was clearly expecting Lehrer to bail Obama out. No. You have to deliver on your vision, on your ideas. Romney was listening to Obama and directly addressing what Obama actually said. Obama was going through his strawmen and talking points. It didn't work.Obama clearly wasn't prepared to debate a real live Republican on *any issue*. Nothing. All he had were his campaign talking points and his own perceived awesomeness. The plan was simple: stroll in there, give the talking points, let Lehrer ask Romney uncomfortable questions, and walk out. But go back and look at Obama's facial expressions as the debate runs on. At first he's the calm and cool Obama. About 15 minutes in his eyes get wider. About 40 minutes in he's looking at the floor and is clearly flustered. Romney broke him last night. So, liberals: You can't hoist up your strawmen, your race cards, your rape accusations, your throw grandma down the stairs, your 47%ers, whatever, the entire campaign. You have to put in the work. Romney's been doing the work. And getting better. You and your guy? Living in a bubble convinced of your own greatness.That's a recipe for a beatdown, and Obama got his in a big way last night. Dennis Miller put it thusly, "Obama better hope that a kicked ass is covered under Obamacare".On to Ryan/Biden. Unfortunately for you, this debate will be even worse. Fortunately for you, there are zero positive expectations for Joe Biden.

The James Beard Awards were announced this week and among those honored (Christina Tosi, Heidi Swanson, Gabrielle Hamilton, and many others) is Austin's own Jeff Scott. Jeff's Notes From a Kitchen earned the prestigious James Beard Award for photography.
We've been fawning over this incredible two-volume set ever since Jeff brought it into the store. This is unlike any cookbook we've had on our shelves. You're likely to be more inclined to put this on your coffee table than in your kitchen. Its innovative design and, yes, incredible photography make this book a veritable work of art. What's even more impressive is that Notes From a Kitchen is entirely self-published – Jeff put the whole thing together with Chef Blake Beshore, and it's through their efforts that the book has made its way onto shelves and gained the notoriety it has (see the "Press" page on the Notes From a Kitchen website to see how many people have been raving about it).
Jeff was kind enough to talk with us this morning about the book, his collaboration with Chef Beshore, and what it was like to win the big award.
BOOKPEOPLE: Notes From a Kitchen is an innovative, dynamic cookbook. What inspired this project? How did it come about? And how long did it take to put together?
JEFF SCOTT: The idea with Notes was literally to reinvent the genre of what a "cookbook" really is, beyond the standard formula of some cool photos and lists of ingredients. I wanted to totally reinvigorate what would be creatively possible within a book on cooking and how one could gain a far deeper understanding of heirloom food, how it's nurtured by passionate farmers and the overall process of great creative cooking. You then have to ask yourself the essential questions: What do the world's best chefs know that we perhaps do not? How do they approach ideas, flavor, dish-development, utilizing sense memory to allow a dish to really go into our subconscious? What is their daily process of creativity, what does it "look" and "feel" like? How do great chefs nurture their personal and professional relationships? Do these relationships inform their cooking? Notes sets about to find the answers to these questions, and perhaps provokes us to ask more questions. And the only way that I know to answer some of these questions is to spend a lot of time with these obsessive creative souls, to spend more time than makes sense so that you then become invisible, really, and to carefully and accurately document their daily lives.
BP: Chef Blake Beshore is your co-author on the book. How did you two meet and come to work together? What were your different roles as you created the cookbook?
JS: I met Blake at a culinary demo he was doing in Dallas. He was cool under fire and was illustrating to people how to make awesome food at home without a lot of stress, which is something of a personal mission for me. A lot of the intent of Notes was to find ways to get people to chill out in the kitchen, to enjoy the " process " of the never-ending kitchen action and the flow of doing organized tasks, and to experiment with an understanding of flavor … even just to get into the zen of understanding heat. The fun for me is always in the process of making things, and not to stress out on the results. The project I was working on at that time was to make a book similar to my previous book on the private life and artifacts of Elvis Presley, but this time focusing on the inner life of a chef, but this was just going nowhere. I spent literally hundreds and hundreds of hours in his beautiful kitchen, months and months working and shooting and learning …. totally digging the talents of the awesome team in the kitchen, documenting the setting up of the mise en place during the day and then the beauty of line action and the perfectly organized chaos that went down during the rush of service …. it was beautiful and totally thrilling. But the "featured" chef was out working the floor 99.9% of the time, shaking hands and playing host and was just so disconnected from the busy kitchen, it was really strange to me. This well known chef was not behind the line cooking, he was not even "expo'ing" his own plates. This process felt non-authentic and corporate to me, it felt non-creative, way too safe and was just totally frustrating because I couldn't even shoot the chef in the kitchen, which is kind of important. So this vibe with this one well-known chef just fell apart ~ and I was so beyond happy!
Blake had some personal funds, and we decided to put our efforts together and he would basically back the project and I would go out in the field and get into the world's best kitchens and document the worlds best chefs. I was only going to focus on chefs who were passionately and obsessively behind the line cooking, who were innovating and pushing out at all the edges of what's possible with perfect food and wild creativity ~ this is where I'm most comfortable, getting lost in the trees of uncertainty and in then trusting that something great will come out of it. So we built a publishing company from the ground up, we named it Tatroux, and went about to self-publish what would then turn into this massive 2-Volume, 932pp document to the ongoing act of creative culinary obsession.
BP: This book (incredibly) is self-published. What has that process been like? What were the pitfalls and bonuses of doing it all yourself?
JS: Self-publishing is incredibly intense, expensive and there are thousands of details that you have to get absolutely right. It was much harder than we had imagined it would be. We had an amazing team we worked with in making this massive book. We worked pre-production and proofing with iocolor in Seattle and printed the book with Artron in China, which is the same team that produced Modernist Cuisine, so we were in great hands with Kim Christianson and Gary Hawkey at iocolor.
The awesome upside of self-publishing is that I had total and absolute creative control of every single aspect of the book's content, presentation, all the detailed creative elements, design and production details, right down to inserting my wild multi-plate photogravure artwork as part of the creative inside the book, as well as shooting film footage and then editing those frames into the final book design as well, that was really cool! I also was able to use these beautiful clear vellum sheets to layer the chefs private notebook pages and my fine-art images onto, so the public would have this very rich, layered, emotional and tactile interaction with the physical book object itself. This level of detail was especially cool on the etched cover and slipcase treatments, which is something I don't think has ever been done before on a book, let alone a book about the emotional nature of cooking; using layers and layers of actual texture so you could "feel" both the narrative and graphic elements. It was simply critical that this book be an emotional and new form of creative experience for the reader ~ this had to be a wild, provocative and fresh look at the art and intense craft inside the culinary world.
BP: How does it feel to be recognized with a James Beard Award?
JS: So this is just a few days now that I have this beautiful new object … and I have to admit, people say it's just cool to be nominated, and of course it is such an beautiful honor, it's very very humbling to be recognized as having done something unique, but to win is just totally surreal. It just makes you feel like you have affected people in a positive, real and tangible way ~ and it affirms for you again that you can trust yourself that much more in the future, that you just have to trust deeply in your instincts and move further ahead, break down more barriers, don't ever play it safe, that's such a major force of action for me, to always take wild risks. I will always risk total creative failure and always push much further into the unknown in order to possibly make something more and more beautiful ~ to make people's lives better, to inspire others creatively or to ask more interesting and probing questions. I don't get too attached to finding perfect answers, there are no perfect answers. I just find that pondering questions far more enigmatic.
BP: Are you working on any other projects right now, or is Notes From a Kitchen still a full-time job?
JS: I just came back from a pretty wild trip to Paris with Sean Brock, and will be going back in a month or so to work with some local chefs there, and probably spend some time in London, possibly Italy. I know that I need to spend more time overseas these next few years. I feel such a deep connection with the European spirit of … well of love and the quiet poetry of daily life. I spent years in Paris and Italy when I was younger, and it feels more important now than ever to interact with European culture. You can't just isolate yourself, you have to keep exploring your internal and romantic life.
I'm also working on my next book project, which is going to also be pretty wild and beautiful, and I'm about to direct a feature film based on Notes From A Kitchen. These projects are already in pre-production. These new larger projects will take several years and are going to be just as wild and provocative as Notes has now become. I'm also working on a traveling museum exhibition of large new works, and I love working in my studio at Flatbed Press … that always brings me into such a quiet, easy peace, spending hours and hours deciding how a color " feels " or how a texture's emotional quality can change and then inform the next aesthetic decision we make. What's so cool is that all these elements play off each other and interact with each other perfectly and are totally in sync, one media simply informs the other. It's all about the journey we might take of going where we haven't gone before ~ the thrill to excite people with new ideas and new forms of delivering content … and to expose ourselves to ever wilder questions.
Signed copies of Notes From a Kitchen are currently available at BookPeople. Stop by the stove in our Cooking section to take a look at the display copy. You can also order the book via our website.

Blacks can accept cuts in government spending, but not cuts in voting rights. This is the message black leaders are sending to President Reagan in meetings with administration officials, from conference halls, and from scholarly think tanks.
Clearly, blacks are unhappy with federal budget cuts, which they expect will impose disproportionate sacrifices on minorities. Although they believe budget cuts will hurt them more than whites, blacks say they may be more able to cope because they are accustomed to hardships. Consequently, they warn that spending cuts may spark rioting, as in Britain -- but, they add, any rioting will start in white, not black, communities.
Black leaders are not concentrating their fire on reduced federal spending for welfare programs. Instead, as Benjamin L. Hooks, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), told Attorney General William French Smith this week, the black community's deepest concern is with threats to the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The Joint Center for Political Studies, a Washington think tank, describes the Voting Rights Act as "the most effective civil-rights law to emerge from the activism of the 1960s." The center calls on Congress to renew and strengthen the act and warns that a block of Southerners plans to amend the act into meaninglessness. The issue is before congress now because key provisions of the act are due to expire in August 1982.
Blacks credit the act with bringing about great gains in voter registration -- such as in Mississippi, where the number of blacks registered to vote rose from 6.7 percent of those eligible in 1964 to 67.4 percent in 1976. They see a great deal more to accomplish, however, and say the Voting Rights Act is a key part of further progress.
According to Vernon E. Jordan Jr., president of National Urban League, "The Voting Rights Act is virtually the only protection black and Hispanic citizens have to ensure their right to vote is not hampered. Take it away and we are sure to return to a system of persistent discrimination in which, by a series of overt and covert local measures, blacks are deprived of their voting rights and of representation."
Blacks point out that the act continues to be effective in preventing new attempts to disenfranchise blacks. Since 1965, the US Justice Department has used the act to veto more than 800 attempts by Southern states to change voting rules.
Coretta Scott King, widow of the murdered civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., argues that "the No. 1 priority right now is extending the Voting Rights Act." Speaking in Chicago recently at the annual convention of Operation Push (People United to Save Humanity), the black self-help organization, she said that when her husband began campaigning for civil rights in 1955, there were only some 50 black elected officials nationwide. Largely thanks to the 1965 Voting Rights Act, she says, that number has reached nearly 5,000 today.
PUSH delegates warned about the serious unemployment situation facing blacks and minorities. They cited Census Bureau statistics showing that during the 1960s, the median income of black families rose to 63 percent of that of whites, but over the past 10 years has dropped to 57 percent. This brings blacks nearly back to the pre-civil-rights mov ement figure of 56 percent.
