Melanie Thornton ep 22
Friends & artists came on Melanie's funneral. For all of them was shock...
Lane McCray said in a interview "The magic died with her and cannot be recreated."
Delroy Rennalls : "Melanie she was a very very down to earth person. She always took a pride in her appearance and always had time for her friends and her fans.
She was a genuine and real person. How she was in private, was how she was on the stage."
Terri B! "She was like a light of sunshine. She walked up to me on a TV show and i just melted. She was everything i thought she would be. She is gone too soon. I plan to do a tribute of some type."
Kim Sanders "Terri and I cried for her when we heard the news . It was too sad. I felt like i knew her so much better."
Linda Rocco "Melanie was incredible!!! When you saw her in person, she came across like a beautiful Amazon….. Most importantly, she could really sing, and she had a heart and soul, especially for her fans!! God bless you Melanie, we miss you…"
Melanie Thornton ep 21
On November 24 2001 Melanie and the girls from Passion Fruitt died in a plane crash near Zurich. Saturday night she performed in Leipzig and then she drove to Berlin where she took the plane to Zurich for radio and TV appearances (among others, the broadcast "Die Bar" on TV3, which was cancelled) to promote her new single "Wonderful Dream (Holidays Are Coming)".
"Wonderful Dream" was a Christmas ballad recorded for a Coca-Cola TV commercial.
The irolny of the situation is the album was called "Ready to fly" and she died from a plane accident. Her album was planned to be re-released on the 26th of November.
Melanie was only 34 years old...

Melanie Thornton ep 19
2001 : Melanie released her first solo album entitled Ready To Fly on April 30th under the label X-Cell (Epic/Sony Music). According to an interview she gave and in which she explained that her favourite musical artists remained Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, we could guess that the album would not be eurodance related, unfortunately... Meanwhile she kept on doing club appearances in US clubs under the name of "Melanie Thornton, formerly of La Bouche" (she had the double nationality : American and German).
Melanie's third single to be released was Ooh Ooh (Talking About Love). The song has been remixed for the single release, to have much more power than it already had. Meanwhile her first album, produced by Julien Nairolf and Mitchell Lennox, reached #18 in the charts.

After "Love how you love me" was fallow up by another ballad called "HeartBeat", this single was released in April 9 2001. Also the maxi cd includes a few dance remixes.
Melanie Thornton ep 17
Her first solo single was released in October 2000 : "Love How You Love Me", a ballad ( the CD-maxi included a few dance versions also).
The single was, as she described it, 'an open confession to the great love, a love which grows silently and lasts eternally'.
Melanie presented her new single on 29th November on the RTL Spendenmarathon, and on the 1st December at the Dome in Berlin.

Melanie Thornton ep 15
After "SOS" single with La Bouche, in February 2000 Melanie left the group,and was replaced by Natascha Wright, because her contract with BMG ended and she signed a record deal with Epic/Sony to start her solo career.
Meanwhile Melanie bought a house and then got married with her trainer, an she changed her look.
In an interview gave for german magazine Melanie explains :
"I think La Bouche was a wonderful opportunity - and part of me is La Bouche. But I don't just want to continue to be a dance artist, trying to be young and trendy, like dance artists have to be"
She started working with a group of producers both in Germany and in the United States.
Thanks to Karine Sanche
Melanie Thornton ep 14
"You Won't Forget Me" reached # 48 in Top 100 USA, # 29 in Germany and #24 in Sweden,after this was fallowed by a nice ballad " A moment of love " but without success.
But apparently second album didn't have the success expected and it was the last album with Melanie.
After a year La Bouche released the last single "SOS" who entred on Germany top 100 at # 78.
Melanie Thornton ep 13
After some silence La Bouche released finnally the single "You Won´t Forget Me" in October 1997 and on the 17th November the new album "A Moment of Love" was released.
The new album contains 9 songs, 3 remixes and, of course, "Bolingo" and "You Won't Forget Me".
One of the 9 new songs isn't completely new... "Mama Look (I Love Him)" which was on the European release of "Sweet Dreams" can also be found on the new album ! Most tracks on the new album are uptempo dance tracks !
Thanks to Karine Sanche
Melanie Thornton ep 12
After "Fallin' in love" was released " I Love To Love". It went #6 in Australia. Fallowed by "Megamix" as a conclusion to this first album.Afterwards there was quite a long pause.
Melanie explains in that periode :
"Frank Farian held pretty much total control of the project and he had, since the beginning of La Bouche, picked up a whole lot of other projects. We'd been put on the backburner until he'd finished producing No Mercy (and others). He did record a single called Bolingo that was supposed to be the introduction of our second album, but it didn't work that way. It was like six months after the end of our first album and like a year before the actual release of the second album. It wasn't supposed to be that way, but it's just the way it happened. Basically it was just waiting on Frank Farian. First to be ready to start producing and then, second, to be satisfied with the work. There were also power struggles going on there. I would have to say a lot of it was disagreements between Frank and the labels". said Melanie

Melanie Thornton ep 11
After two gold singles in Germany, both had topped the European charts and gained massive radio play throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States, La Bouche unleashed their debut album 'Sweet Dreams", which brought them to the forefront of America's pop market to become the new sensation of the 90s. The album sold twice Platinum in the US.
In an interview gave for Bravo magazine Melanie talks about La Bouche success & fans:
"In Germany the people are very nice , in Italy the fans were wild when i made my first appearence in Italy i was stalked by a fan."
Also Melanie said at that time: "she would like to have children later with the right man"
One June 1995 they released a new single "Fallin' In Love" the single went # 16 on the America Top 40 radio charts.

Melanie Thornton ep 10
This sudden success was great for Melanie, but to her it was like a gradual thing, a very happy feeling. She explains:
"It was like, "Oh, wow! This is something I dreamed of when I was six years old." But, at the same time, we were traveling so much. We really didn't have the time to soak in the momentum of our success - to soak in the hype and believe the hype. We were working really hard at this point. We would go places and people would go crazy to see us, and this was interesting. At the same time, I kind of kept in mind.
This is really great. I hope we can continue to produce music our fans love. But I always tried to keep a reality check. This is because this song is so widely publicized and promoted. And it IS a great song, but it's more about the product at this point than ourselves."
This is really great. I hope we can continue to produce music our fans love. But I always tried to keep a reality check. This is because this song is so widely publicized and promoted. And it IS a great song, but it's more about the product at this point than ourselves."
The next single was "Be My Lover" in 1995 in the new formula Lane & Melanie, becoming an instant hit once again : #8 in Israel, #1 in Germany and Spain, top 10 in Holland, Austria and Belgium, #3 in Australia, #2 in Canada, #2 in Italy, #3 in France, #5 Switzeland, and #25 in the UK.
After the huge success of " Be my lover" & "Sweet Dreams" in Europe they were invited to the USA to promote the single " Be my lover" on several radio stations and to do a new version of the video for the song, 'cause the original video was too hot to show on American music television. After the promotions & the shoot they also did a trip to the East River and they did a helicopter-flight over Manhattan.
The single "Be my lover" sold gold in USA and went #6 in the USA Billboard Hot 100.

Melanie Thornton ep 9
In a old interview, Melanie said "Looking back, it seems like it happened very quickly. In the process, it really didn't blow me away. I did the studio session with Amir Saraf and Uli Brenner in November 1993. Meanwhile, I was gigging, making my money, earning my living. Two months later, they called and said a record label was interested in releasing "Sweet Dreams" as a single".
At that time, Melanie was still hesitating between the 2 projects : La Bouche and Le Click.
But the success was immediate because "Sweet dreams" went #3 in Israel, #1 in Italy and Spain, #8 in Germany, #8 in Australia, #8 in France, #5 in Switzerland, top 30 in the UK, # 13 in the USA Billboard Hot 100 (where it stayed not less than 33 weeks !).
With Le Click release "Tonight Is The Night" at the same with "Sweet Dreams" like I said both songs with massive success in USA.
Melanie Thornton ep 8
On January 1995 was released another single that Melanie Thornton contribute, the project was Orange Blue and the tune was called "If you wanna be (my only)".
Orange Blue was a dance project from Italy and the song was composed and written by R. Arduini, Abaribi and Randone and it was released under the label Italian Style.
Another project was Loop the project features the champion skater Katarina Witt, Melanie Thornton, Joan Faulkner & Linda Rocco. The single was composed by Dehm, Walger and Wilder, wirtten by Dehm, produced by Frank Farian, recorded in Far Studios.
Both singles didn't achieved charts success even if were good eurodance tracks.
Meanwhile on La Bouche things were on the way… because Melanie & Lane were preparing the second single from this project but the first in this formula Lane & Melanie.
Thanks to Karine Sanche
Melanie Thornton ep 7
The music was composed by Giora Schein, Oliver Reinecke and Frank Schlingoff .
Meanwhile on La Bouche project after of departure of Robert the rapper, Melanie remembered Lane and called him to join the project.
The name of the band came on recording session for the first album, the whole team was thinking about the best name for the band and La Bouche was decided to be the name .
Thanks to Culture Beat FanBase
Melanie Thornton ep 6
Melanie continued to record songs in Germany and the next group that she contribute was 100%.
The song "Power of the light" was launched in '94 featuring the voices of Melanie Thornton and Mike Romeo. It was produced by Rachid Nouri and R. Nagachian, under the WEA Music label.
In this periode of time, Melanie and Lane met for the first time in Frankfurt and they made a project "Groovin Affairs" but without any chart success like 100% too.
In the same year Melanie got the call from the Men Behind producers Ulli Brenner and Amir Saraf who wanted a new female vocalist for the new project, and Melanie was undoubtedly the perfect singer for project and La Bouche was born.
"Sweet dreams" was recorded with the rapper Robert, but Robert later left the band. More tomorrow....
Thanks to Culture Beat FanBase
Melanie Thornton ep 5
The next project who Melanie contribute was Hysterie and the first collaboration with the people who soon will mark her career, I'm talking of course about Ulli Brenner and Amir Saraf ( La Bouche producers).
With this project released a single in January of '94 called " (Oh Oh Oh There Is) Nobody" also this track was written by Melanie herself, but not even this track made it in the charts.

A 15-year-old girl from Aberdeen was killed and three others were injured in a crash in Belcamp Thursday night.
The two-vehicle accident was reported to 911 at 8:52 p.m. at the intersection of Brass Mill Road and Mercedes Drive, according to Edward Hopkins, spokesman for the Harford County Sheriff's Office.
Hopkins said a passenger car and pickup truck were heading toward each other on Brass Mill Road when the passenger car is believed to have crossed the center line and collided with the pickup truck head-on.
Jenna Nicole Pollock, 15, of the 400 block of Ruby Drive in Aberdeen, died at the scene, the Sheriff's Office said in a follow up news release Friday morning.
Pollock was a passenger in a 2010 Nissan Versa along with Kyle Johnson, 18 of the 4200 block of Cowan Place in Belcamp, and Colin Ellison, 17, of the 200 block Halls Chance Lane, also in Belcamp, the Sheriff's Office said.
According to the Sheriff's Office, the Nissan collided with a 2007 Ford Explorer operated by Harold Blume Jr., 62, of 1200 block of Annhurst Court in Belcamp.
Ellison was treated at the scene by medics from the Abingdon Volunteer Fire Company and then transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center by Maryland State Police Medevac.
Johnson was transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore and Blume was transported to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center both by ambulance.
As of Friday morning, the Sheriff's Office said both Blume and Johnson had been released from the hospital. Ellison was still hospitalized; however, his injuries were not believed to be life threatening and he is expected to be released later on Friday, the Sheriff's Office said.
Brass Mill Road was closed for approximately three hours, while crash reconstructionists investigated at the scene.
According to the Sheriff's Office, the Nissan was traveling south on Brass Mill Road when the head-on collision occurred. Speed is also being listed as a contributing factor in the crash, which remains under investigation, the Sheriff's Office said.
Police have not yet identified who was driving the Nissan, nor has it been positively determined where the victims were seated in the vehicle at the time of the crash, the Sheriff's Office said. Investigators will also seek to determine if the occupants were wearing seat belts.
Thursday's fatality was the 10th traffic related death in Harford County this year, but the first to occur on a county road as opposed to a state highway, the Sheriff's Office noted in its news release.
The latest fatal accident was also the second in a week in the county. A 68-year-old Aberdeen man was killed on Friday, June 19, when he lost control of his motor scooter trying to avoid a deer that ran in front him on the Bel Air Bypass. The scooter collided with a median, resulting in fatal injuries to the victim, Maryland State Police said.
There were 32 traffic related fatalities in Harford County during 2012.One person was killed and three others were injured in a crash in Belcamp Thursday night.

State environmental agents began investigating Friday the illegal trash dumping that recently occurred on Autumn Moon Lane near its junction with Millchop Lane in Magnolia.
Delaware Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control agents have begun investigating trash and animal remains dumped along Autumn Moon Lane in Magnolia at some point.
The investigation began on Friday afternoon based on an inquiry made by the Dover Post about the trash and how the state handled such illegal dumping. Ronald Pyle, of Magnolia, had called the newspaper to complain about the trash, which he said was an ongoing problem.
The trash that Pyle reported was near Autumn Moon Lane's junction with Millchop Lane. But the Dover Post also photographed two more trash piles 200 to 600 feet due north of the first pile, respectively. The second pile was composed of two bags that contained animal remains – still decomposing. The third pile farther north was composed of more trash bags.
The development of Alexander's Village is to the west of this section of Autumn Moon Lane, while a vast farm is across the street, one of Kent County's more rural areas.
"I don't know whether it's an economic thing, but it seems like there are more and more trash bags on the side of the road," Pyle said. "These are people who don't have trash service."
Pyle said he appreciated the fact that state crews periodically cleaned up the mess. But he wished the state or Kent County would take a more proactive approach to prevent more illegal garbage dumping along roadways.
"It's about time they threw some heavy fines on people," he said. "It's s a shame that they have to come out and pick this stuff up. My contention is why don't we turn around and fine these people? That's the only thing that's going to stop them."
Pyle was not the only person frustrated with the illegal dumping. Someone opened one of the trash bags and found an address that could be connected to the trash's origin. That person, who is unknown, posted signage with the found address.
Delaware State Police Master Cpl. Gary Fournier cautioned that the discovery of an address among the trash did not necessarily prove anything. The state would have to conduct a fuller investigation to get to the bottom of things, he said.
"The fact of the matter is that this could have occurred by debris falling out of a dump truck," Fournier said. "If it's occurring weekly, it's definitely a problem."
It was important for people to call and report suspected trash dumping as it occurred, particularly if someone was caught in the act, he added.
As for the state's ongoing investigation along Autumn Moon Lane, DNREC Environmental Crimes Unit Chief James Faedtke began an investigation Friday afternoon.
"An officer from DNREC's Environmental Crimes Unit went to Millchop Lane in Magnolia, found the trash as described and conducted an investigation," DNREC spokeswoman Joanna Wilson said. "At this time, the ECU does not have enough evidence to cite a suspect, but will be monitoring the area."
In addition, the Kent County SPCA would investigate if animal cruelty played a role in the animal dumping, Kent County Levy Court spokeswoman Kia Evans said.
As for cleanup, the Delaware Department of Transportation was charged with cleaning up trash along the state's roadways, DelDOT Community Relations Officer Jim Westhoff said.
"Annually, DelDOT picks up about 65,000 bags of trash per year," he said. "And we are assisted by hundreds of adopt a highway volunteer groups who agree to clean up sections of their adopted roads three times a year."
Westhoff said state residents could also help stop illegal dumping by calling DNREC's 24-hour toll-free hotline at (800) 662-8802.

Caddell Construction to Pay $125,000 to Settle EEOC Disability Discrimination Suit
September 19, 2013
Source: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
Construction Contractor Did Not Provide a Reasonable Accommodation and Terminated the Employee, Federal Agency Charged
Montgomery-based Caddell Construction Company, a major national general construction contractor, has agreed to pay $125,000 and be subject to a consent decree to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC brought suit on behalf of Patricia Pittman, a former Caddell employee, who suffered a leg fracture requiring surgery while working at Caddell's Eglin Air Force Base facility. Following the surgery, Caddell refused to provide Pittman with a reasonable accommodation. Pittman had requested the accommodation of a wheelchair ramp to enter the office and to be allowed to use her crutches and a walker. Caddell fired Pittman days after her request for accommodation.
Such alleged conduct violates Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires employers to provide a reasonable accommodation for an employee's disability, unless the employer would suffer an undue hardship as a result. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 3:11-cv-00472) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Pensacola Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to monetary relief ordered by the court under the two-year consent decree resolving the lawsuit, Caddell is obligated to provide training to its employees on its obligations under the ADA and post an employee notice about the lawsuit informing employees of Caddell's duty under the law to maintain a workplace free from unlawful discrimination. The company must allow the EEOC to monitor compliance with the decree. Also, the decree prohibits Caddell from discriminating based on disability against employees or applicants for employment.
"Employers must respect the obligations imposed by the ADA," said Delner Franklin-Thomas, district director for the EEOC's Birmingham District Office. "This litigation demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that people with disabilities receive the full protection of the laws we enforce, and that employers understand how to comply with those laws."
Steven Murray, senior trial attorney for the EEOC's Birmingham District Office, said, "The law provides broad protections for employees and imposes specific requirements on employers. Employers need to be vigilant to prevent workplace discrimination against people with disabilities and retaliation against workers who bring discrimination allegations to the attention of management."
The EEOC's Birmingham District has jurisdiction in Alabama, Mississippi (except 17 northern counties) and the Florida Panhandle.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Savvy Dallas food folk know their taquerias. They can see through the folderol of twelve-dollar fajitas and the folly of enchiladas antisepticas offered by far too many chains. They know that great Mexican food can be found just about anywhere in our fair city, be it strip mall, hole-in-the-wall, or gas station. In the latter category, longtime aficionados wax rhapsodic about Fuel City's tacos, while the Lake Highlands crowd knows all about Good 2 Go Tacos. Believe it or not, north Plano sports an excellent gas station establishment, Chitos Mexican Restaurant, tucked in behind a Chevron station on Legacy Drive. I first visited Chitos about a year ago amidst rumors that they had some of the best tostadas in the Metroplex, and I decided recently to see firsthand if they were still holding down the quality fort.
Gabriel and Sandra Correa bought Chitos just over a year ago, and immediately set out to make warm, familial service a hallmark of the place, while maintaining excellence in the culinary category. After greeting and seating me, I was handed a menu, where I was delighted to find that the prices were still quite low, with most offerings under $10. I knew that Horchata Agua Fresca would make an excellent accompaniment to the spicy fare, and I ordered one. Loaded with cinnamon and spices and generously portioned, this fresca was large enough to sustain me throughout the meal, and I took home plenty besides. Chips and salsa tasted fresh, and the salsa had a delightful tang. After due perusal, I decided to order a pollo tostada and my waiter's recommendation of Asado De Puerco Rojo. I was also considering a sopa, but my genial waiter stopped me by asking, "Are you sure? This is a lot of food. You can always order it later if you are still hungry." I really appreciated his honesty, and decided to wait.
In short order, my tostada was brought, and I was delighted to find it still piled high with freight: fresh chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, crema, and queso fresco. All these ingredients served quite well to highlight the chicken rather than mask it, particularly the queso fresco. I also used the jalapeno and tomatillo salsas my waiter brought to good effect, sparingly so that just a touch of heat was added. Very large and crunchy, it would have made an excellent lunch if I had eaten the whole thing, but I wanted to save room for the Puerco. Outstanding pork with a pastor flavor was presented in a fiery red sauce with excellent rice and beans, making for one of the most savory, sumptuous Mexican meals I've had in a long time. No salsa necessary for this dish, as each bite was full of roasted sweet heat. Again, portions were quite generous, so there was a lot to take home, and as my waiter suggested, I didn't need to add a sopa.
Service throughout was family gracious, and the chef herself stopped by to make sure I had enjoyed everything. This meal was proof that at Chitos you can fill your stomach as well as your car, and both will be quite content.

Yeah, that's not good.
by HNutz » Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:21 pmSo apparently tonight's episode is a rerun (it's the one with Olivia's partner from FRINGE). Is it just me or are the TV seasons in general shorter/having more reruns than usual?
Oh well, guess I'll watch Fargo instead...

I think they're the same length but they have more re-runs. Like they don't have enough summer stuff so they stretch it out. Remember when they would air a series and then in the summer they would just re-run it all. Now they have to have original summer shows.

The machine has never once freaked out about the existence of another machine. And though it has acted to protect itself, it has never killed. In fact, when it recruited Root, she pointed out that the machine doesn't actually want her to kill.
Finch said it. The machine was not designed to kill, and that hasn't changed just because it is now acting of its own accord.
The fear is a human element. The humans are the ones under implicit threat by Decima and the Agency and those freedom terrorist dudes. The machine doesn't give them directives aside from Root (who kinda sorta needs a lot of guidance to keep from killing all the things). It doesn't tell them how to handle the numbers it gives them...
It trusts them to figure it out for themselves...
In this case, it is not the machine's trustworthiness which is an issue. It is the trustworthiness of the humans with which the machine works.

But why would it need to protect itself from another AI? What would be the rational of it?
by Strict31 » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:25 pm
We don't actually know that the machine believes it needs protection from the other machine. So far, it's just the human characters suggesting anything remotely close to this. Root mentioned something to Finch about two gods going to war, but she's batshit crazy, so...
by HNutz » Tue Apr 29, 2014 9:02 pm
i think it might be tonight...
by Strict31 » Tue Apr 29, 2014 11:02 pmPretty cool episode. But I was expecting Root to do something more to all of those servers than just heist seven of them. Too bad she can't call her SHIELD boyfriend. He seems like he could use the work right about now.
Who in the fuck are these Decima guys anyway? Sounded like Root called them ex Marine Force Recon. I have a difficult time buying the idea that so many ex-special forces guys would be willing to operate against civilians (at least, in their own country) for something as paltry as a paycheck. You see that in movies all the time, but in real life, these guys shit red white and blue. The whole mercenary thing is believable up to a certain point. And the idea that they are fanatics...Well, it would take a hell of a lot of fanaticism to accept an order from some rich British guy to commit suicide.
You might find that rare individual among a crowd, but they've got an endless supply of these dudes, and they're all highly trained. Such disposability does not breed competence. And it is not conducive to victory.
by HNutz » Tue May 13, 2014 9:26 pmSo, there's a trial tonight....
And, to save that lady's life (can't think of her name offhand), Harold just admitted that he built the machine.
During a live-streamed "trial".
by BubbaKanoosh » Tue May 13, 2014 9:31 pmMy theory is...
The Machine the created Vigilance to watch itself, in case it got abused...
The text messages are from the machine
by HNutz » Tue May 13, 2014 9:53 pm
Well, apparently you're not far off...
Not OUR Machine but the folks behind Samaritan created Vigilance and recruited "Peter Collier" (the old man recruited him personally).
Oh, and they planted the bomb in the courthouse, which they used as a reason to get Samaritan up and running with government feeds.
And the "live broadcast"... not so much, apparently.
The library isn't safe anymore, they're using fake identies Root put together (which are blind spots for Samaritan) and she says they have to BECOME these people otherwise they'll be found and killed.
And now they're going their separate ways to avoid the new machine?
by BubbaKanoosh » Tue May 13, 2014 9:58 pmNope, I was wrong
by BubbaKanoosh » Tue May 13, 2014 10:06 pm
like that will stay forever... lol The band will be back together.

Leonardo DiCaprio Cares for Tobey Maguire's Daughter Ruby!
Leonardo DiCaprio carries Tobey Maguire's adorable daughter Ruby with care while walking to an awaiting SUV on Saturday (November 9) in New York City.
The 38-year-old actor's close pal and The Great Gatsby co-star Tobey was spotted chatting with a friend outside his hotel.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Leonardo DiCaprio
Earlier in the week, Leo was dapper in a suit while attending the Tag Hauer Carerra Celebration in Paris, France.
"Leonardo DiCaprio is a very serious young actor. He takes it quite seriously. So although DiCaprio has taken my place in Marty's movies, I'm apparently the go-to guy in handing out the hardware. I've gotten pretty good at giving out awards but frankly I've gotten out of practice accepting an award myself," Robert De Niro recently joked at a summit.

Back to Scotland. We started by flying into Glasgow, Scotland. One of our first stops was Glasgow Cathedral. The grounds were stunning.
I'm not going to go into great details about each stop b/c....I've got my personal diaries for that, but our next journey was to move towards the Highlands. It was so interesting to see the dramatic change of scenery that marks the lowlands and the highlands.

As for the wines, thank you for the notes. I used to own both wines, but drank them quite a while back.
Roseneck is the superior site for dry wines to my way of thinking. Schlossberg gets a bit ripe and blowsy, and with its proximity to the river tends to pick up botrytis notes. I love Schlossberg for regular sweet spatlese though.
In the same basic area, Johannes Leitz produces a great dry wine from the Rudesheimer Berg Rottland. That's an even better site for dry riesling than the Roseneck IMO.

Judge Not Amused By South Butt's Amusing Legal Filing
from the not-a-judge-of-humor,-apparently dept
I remind counsel of their obligations under Rule 11 and that, with each filing, they certify to the Court that the motion is not being presented to harass, cause unnecessary delay or needlessly increase the cost of litigation and that the legal contentions are warranted by existing law or nonfrivolous arguments for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law. Although this filing may not reach the level of frivolity, it approaches the line.Too bad. The judicial system would be a lot more interesting if lawyers felt free to respond as The South Butt's lawyer did originally.

DOJ Hasn't Actually Found Silk Road Founder's Bitcoin Yet
from the they're-still-out-there dept
The other amusing bit in all of this is that the FBI's Bitcoin wallet has been identified and renamed as "Silkroad Seized Coins" allowing users to send the FBI tiny amounts of Bitcoin with public messages attached, some of which are fairly amusing -- and many of which are critical of the government and the takedown of Silk Road. Personally, I like the one that reads: "This page shows how Bitcoin is more transparent than the US government."
Kash Hill, over at Forbes (the link above) who highlighted this story, also asked the FBI about what they're going to do with all that Bitcoin. Apparently, the plan is to hold onto it for now, and then "liquidate it" after any trial is concluded, though the FBI's spokesperson admits that "this is kind of new to us." Does that mean that someday soon folks will be able to buy some Bitcoin at a government auction?

Gena Seidenschwarz, archivist of the Museum of the Arkansas Grand Prairie, sat down with The Daily Leader to answer a number of questions about the front diplay in June at the museum.
Q What do you have in the display?
A We have a number of books and manuals pertaining to farming on the Grand Prairie.
Q What kind of manuals do you have?
A We have old owner's manuals and even price guides.
Q Is this the first time you have had these books on display?
A Yes, it is. We have had the books available for the public, but at times they do not even know we have them because they were tucked away from view.
Q Is this a valuable asset for the msueum?
A Yes, it is. They are very historic in nature and there is some machinery still used by farmers on the Grand Prairie.
Q What kinds of books do you have?
A We have a John Deere tractor manual and we also have books of horse drawn equipment before the invention of tractors.
Q Do you have any manuals pertaining to anything on the Grand Prairie?
A Yes, we have the Oliver Tractor, which was developed here in Stuttgart by Donald Oliver.
Q Do you have anything else?
A Yes, we have a book on farm tractors from 1950 to 1975 and a book of portraits of farmers.
"We want everyone to enjoy these books of our heritage," Seidenschwarz said. "It is for everyone."
For more information, contact the museum at (870) 673-7001 or visit the museum at 921 E. Fourth St.

Even though Lamar Odom is still a Laker after a shocking trade deal that didn't go through, he's probably not having the best day. But guaranteed he's having a better day than he would have if not for wife Khloe Kardashian at his side.
Once again, she never ceases to amaze in the relationship department, at least for a Kardashian. Khloe's response to last night's big trade deal shocker was perhaps the most, loving, supportive, and positive gesture she could have made for her man.
Odom was in real bad shape last night. In "disbelief," actually. Showing up for practice today was probably pretty awkward after realizing now that if the team was considering a trade, they really don't want him, and will probably get rid of him at some point in the future.
Then in comes Khloe who says that if Lamar gets traded, she will go with him.
Well, ya! I know that's what you're thinking, that of course she should go with him. Lady don't deserve no medal for that! She's his wife and he's her husband and that's what loving, normal couples do for each other. But lest we forget, this is a Kardashian we are talking about. They are not regular people. Their minds work differently than ours.
They have reality shows. But Khloe clearly has her priorities straight. By saying she'd find a way to make her reality show work wherever she goes, she's making a bold statement about putting her marriage first, career second. Who knew!
Khloe is clearly the anti-Kim when it comes to dedication in relationships, but it wasn't naturally a given that she would have followed her husband out of L.A. on a full-time basis. Los Angeles is the Kardashian kingdom. It's one of the reasons Kim refused to move to the Midwest with Kris Humphries.
Let this incident serve as a reminder that Khloe is the real star of the family. I don't know if she really meant it from the bottom of her heart or it was just a well-advised good PR move at the time, but her track record when it comes to marriage and relationships is pretty good so far. What she said confirms that she at least knows the meaning of the word selfless, and that not all Kardashian relationships and marriages are doomed to dysfunction. Let's hope anyway. Keep going, girl.
Would you be sad if it ever became Kim and Khloe Take Detroit or Kim and Khloe Take Charlotte?

Where's Santa when you need him?!
Phew! I barely survived that Christmas period--I don't know about you. The Santa fantasy must have been invented by desperate parents who never want to enter another shopping mall again as long as they live. Imagine how much more relaxing (and affordable) Christmas would be if Mr Santa Clause could only keep up his end of the bargain...
All that fluoro lighting seems to have killed off my brain. So luckily for me (and you), rather than write a lengthy post here, I can refer you to this piece philosopher Damon Young invited me to write for his fabulous blog series in which authors and artists talk about their favourite tools...

HI Rachel,
I read your guest post ... and liked it. Particularly I appreciated how you referred to your inner-editor and how her influence influences you, in turn, to write in pen and ink (amongst other reasons). I remember writing in pen and ink ... it's been so long. Thanks for the reminder. It's important to keep the inner editorial-police squad off-of the turf of the imagination; vital perhaps.
- December 31, 2009 at 8:36 PM
Nice piece. Maybe if I wrote more on paper I'd get more done. i facilitate back and forth. Used to write a lot of first drafts on paper, but now mostly hate the feeling that I am going to have to type it all out - so I write a lot of notes on paper, but mostly write the actual drafts on computer. Except that I mostly don't write at all lately... Could be a sign.

North Carolina Demands Amazon Reveal Every Detail Of Purchases By NC Residents
from the hope-you-didn't-buy-anything-embarrassing dept
North Carolina's response was to go even further -- and have its Department of Revenue demand from Amazon a list of everyone in the state who had made a purchase on Amazon.com since 2003. Amazon contends that it already turns over plenty of data to North Carolina:
It routinely provides the Revenue Department with "voluminous information" about its sales to North Carolina addresses as part of routine audits of the company's compliance with sales and use tax laws. The information includes the date and total price of each transaction, the city, county and ZIP code to which each item was shipped and Amazon's standard product code for each item, which allows officials to see the description of every product purchased.But what it does not provide is the actual names and addresses -- and North Carolina threatened to charge Amazon with contempt if it didn't provide that info. In response, Amazon is now suing North Carolina, claiming that the demand to turn over such information is a massive breach of the First Amendment, in that it could create serious chilling effects on what people would buy if they knew that the gov't was reviewing all of their purchases.
It's hard to see how North Carolina has any case here at all. Demanding such information would be a huge breach of privacy and of individual rights -- all in a blatant attempt by the state to collect more revenue. Hopefully the courts shut down this overreach quickly.

It's a high school romance comedy based off of the manga of the same name, and is about a transfer student, Mizuki Ashiya, trying to fit in at an all-boys high school in Japan and get Izumi Sano, an amazing high-jumper in the past, to take up the high-jump again. Sano had given up the sport when he received an injury, and he never took it back up again. Ashiya idolizes him and is determined to make him change his mind.
The catch is, Ashiya is a girl and must pretend to be a guy if she hopes to stay in the school.
Along the way she meets many *very* interesting characters, all with their own quirks (total understatement, right there). I highly recommend this series even for people who aren't usually fans of shoujo or live-action, as the storyline is very dramatic but hilarious (along the lines of LoveCom, but a completely different story with a very different protagonist).
Episodes: 11
Broadcast period: 2007-Jul-03 to 2007-Sep
Opening theme: Ikenai Taiyo by Orange Range
Ending theme: PEACH by Otsuka Ai
(Taken from the wiki.)
My own comments on the first two episodes:
- The characters are still just as weird (if not weirder) and loveable as I remember them from the manga. I love all the actors cast for this series - one reason I didn't like the Taiwanese Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu (also based off of Hana Kimi) was that I really didn't like Ashiya. The actor was cute, but it felt too un-Ashiya-like to me.
- The random CG is weird.... but it's silly, and for a silly series such as this one, I can't bring myself to mind as much as I usually would. There are times when it does seem out of place though.. but there aren't enough instances that I'd say it's overexcessive. I could definitely understand if it bothered more than a few people though.
- I love that they've managed to carry over the fast-paced, silly humor from the manga to this show.
Spoiler for One scene that comes to mind is:
That's all for now. XD
Ah, if you're not a fan of the live-action, I still recommend reading the manga. The storylines are the same but there are a few major (I approve!) differences to the stories. Huge thanks to SARS-Fansubs for subbing this series. Discuss away!
(So how did I do? Anything I should add to the intro post? )

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e
The drama is based on the popular manga of the same name by Nakajo Hisaya, which has already been dramatized in Taiwan. Horikita plays the protagonist Ashiya Mizuki, a Japanese girl in the U.S. who one day sees the young athlete Sano Izumi (Oguri) compete in the high jump on television. She begins to idolize him, and decides to move to Japan to attend the same school as him. However, Izumi goes to an all-boys school, so Mizuki disguises herself as a boy to achieve her dream of being with her idol.

Agh, agh, fans! [*fangirl squee*]
Yes, this is the most awesome live action I've ever seen... not that I've seen very many though. (I'm not really a fan of live action.)
I didn't really like the Taiwanese version; ended up dropping it after the first episode. Though this live action tends to overexaggerate some parts (metal bucket falling on Mizuki's head out of nowhere? Weeeird), it's never gotten to the point where it's annoying, however, the Taiwanese version did (especially, *especially* with Mizuki making all those faces when she first meets Sano... that got on my nerves like no other ).
I think SARS is doing a wonderful job of subbing this series. It seems as if they're really excited about it too, and getting releases out asap (without loss of quality or grammar errors - I've only seen one spelling error so far, and that was something very small and easy to miss). This is definitely one of the top series I'm looking forward to watching the most.

I had a confusion regarding this show I was wondering which one Taiwanese or Japanese. I haven't read the manga so I don't want to be spoilt I will put the Taiwanese series on hold also I asked a friend which one was better and she told me the Japanese one . So if I am watching it its after Hanzakari gets over

This show is SO much better than the Taiwanese version...!!
I really loved the manga and am glad to see it come to life in an enjoyable live action form. Hopefully the drama's success (it looks like the ratings are pretty good) will lead the way to an anime version. I've been crossing my fingers for a Hana-Kimi anime for years, ever since I got hooked on the manga.
Great actors. The girl who plays Ashiya is so awesome~
Anyone else out there who can't resist the urge to clap along with the ending song?

Third episode was GREAT. This has definitely become one of my favorite shows this season.
Spoiler for Episode three :p:
[*sobs*] This series is just so great, it's made me smile and giggle the whole way through each episode so far and there's no indication they're going to let up anytime soon.
One thing that I LOVE about the series is Nakatsu and his journey to overcome his sexual preference.... oh dear, it's so funny. We all know he's not gay, but that's something we have to keep to ourselves at his expense. (Aah, kind of like Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football ne. The audience knows he can never kick it or else it would no longer be funny. Poor kid. At least he wasn't doubting his sexuality. )
Ahh, I've always found it so ironic that the one man who finds out about Mizuki being a girl first is the one who's gay. I'm not sure why, but that goes so well.
Ohmg, so hilarious. Needs a rewatch.

Yeah I like Horikita Maki I don't like the Taiwanese actress she isn't cute enough also the production budget for the Taiwanese one is low and it shows clearly. In addition, I like the feel of this show it very entertaining and leaves you wanting for more
Ashiya is a strong well-rounded character my respect grew for her after the marathon. She tolerated all that pain just for a smile Ashiya Chwaaan. Also Ep 3 is out -Banzai-

Just finished eppy 4. IMO it wasn't as good as the previous two, but the ending completely made up for it -- it was super duper great. Aaaand, I'd feel bad spoiling it, so you all have to go watch it for yourselves.
I like how in the very last second of each episode it leaves a huge cliffhanger; the problems in each episode get solved, but at the very end they put something else in just to keep you in suspense. Haha, so evil. XD
Ah, I also want to mention that I like Sars so much. ;_; They're so fast and there aren't many errors (I think I've only seen two or three) considering each episode is about forty minutes.

I'm definitely going to watch this. I enjoyed the Taiwanese version despite its many weaknesses, but having just seen the first episode of the Japanese show I can tell it's going to be much, much better!
The show has a good pace and I think they did a great job with introducing all the major characters and the three dorms in the first ep. I also think that Osaka High is much more convincing as a boys' school than its Taiwanese counterpart. It was really fun to see how much bullying Mizuki had to endure on her first day

*sigh* Being a shoujo manga fanatic, I've read this a long time ago. I'll probably wait till the end so I can marathon it, otherwise I'll probably lose interest since I can't wait a week because I know what'll happen already (I 'forgot' about HYD halfway because of the very same reason).
Although I'll definitely watch it someday. Having Horikita Maki would always make me want to watch a show (same thing applies with other actresses, Ishihara Satomi and Nagasawa Masami).

I love this show! The silliness one moment, slipping into more serious moments the next, just makes it an interesting show. I have honestly laughed, cheered and cried already, and that is in the first four episodes! I walked into this series unknowingly, because it looked interesting on animeinfo. I have not previously read the manga or seen the anime. You should have seen me when I realized it was Shun-chan as Sano-san. *Total, drooling idiot--fangirling* He is just hawt.

It totally excites me to see new posts in this thread. XD
Anyways, didn't like eppy five as much as the previous four... I dunno, it just didn't hit the spot. I was pretty bored the whole time (except when Nakatsu dreams about Mizuki, getting bloody noses of course... I don't know why that's so funny on a real actor -- I should be commenting on how lame and corny it is rather than laughing at it!! ). I suppose it was mainly because the focus was put on characters I really don't care much about.
Ahh well.

|U.S. Marshals Add Alleged Murderer, Gang Member to 15 Most Wanted List
**Update: Cameron Leezell Taylor was Apprehended on November 21, 2013**
Washington – The U.S. Marshals Service today announced the addition of a suspected attempted murderer and violent gang member to their 15 Most Wanted fugitive list.
Cameron Leezell Taylor, a documented member of a Phoenix-based criminal street gang, is wanted in Arizona by the Phoenix Police Department on four counts of attempted murder, four counts of aggravated assault, endangerment, assisting a criminal street gang and a drive-by shooting. Taylor is also wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service District of Arizona for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
On March 23, 2009, Taylor, along with two other gang members, allegedly drove through a south Phoenix neighborhood in an attempt to locate and murder rival gang members including a pregnant female. Later that day, the group located a vehicle containing the targeted gang members. However, there was another vehicle between them, driven by Gilbert Leon. Taylor, and two other gang members, allegedly opened fire at the target vehicle, striking it numerous times. In the process, Leon was struck by a stray bullet and instantly died. One of the targeted individuals was struck in the back and a stray bullet struck another passing vehicle. At the time of the shooting, Leon was returning home from visiting his parents and spending time with his nephew.
"Cameron Taylor is the reason a national 15 Most Wanted list was created by the U.S. Marshals Service," said David P. Gonzales, U.S. Marshal for the District of Arizona. "Taylor's contempt for social values and human life has resulted in him now being one of America's most wanted fugitives."
Taylor, 26, poses an extreme threat to the community and should be considered armed and dangerous. The two other gang members involved in the shooting have since been arrested and convicted for the crime.
"Through his alleged crimes, Cameron Taylor demonstrated a clear disregard for innocent bystanders that presents an immediate danger to society," said William D. Snelson, Assistant Director for Investigative Operations. "This most recent incident earned him the full attention of the United States Marshals Service. We are committed to locating and apprehending this violent gang member. Taylor will not elude the long arm of the law."
A reward of up to $25,000 is offered for information leading directly to Taylor's arrest. Anyone with information is urged to contact the nearest U.S. Marshals office or the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102.

Hughes to start season on Yankees' disabled list
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes will join Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson on New York's disabled list for the start of the season.
New York manager Joe Girardi announced the decision Wednesday after watching Hughes pitch in his second minor league exhibition game since returning from a bulging disk in his upper back.
Article continues below ...
Hughes is expected to miss his first turn through the rotation, which means that fifth-starter candidates Ivan Nova and David Phelps are both likely to start the season in the rotation.
Hughes is scheduled to pitch in a minor league game Monday.
New York general manager Brian Cashman said he doesn't expect Jeter, who continues to get treatment for left ankle soreness, will play in a minor league game through this weekend.
Cashman said there is no timetable for Jeter's return.

A delightful report about how Imam Abu Hanifa received his nomme de plume (his name is Nu`man bin Thabit bin Zuta bin Mah), an account of why the wife is forbidden to take more than one husband is recounted:
Abu Hanifa' is an unusual name because it means 'the father of Hanifah', and Hanifah was his daughter. It was not the custom in those days to do this. Normally, the name would be 'the father of the name of a son.' How this came about is quite edifying. One day the great Imam Abu Hanifa was asked a question that, for the first time in his illustrious career, he was unable to answer. The question was, "Why were women forbidden to marry more than one husband at a time?" To make a long story short, Abu Hanifa's daughter said that she knew the answer and would solve this question if her father would make a promise to her that if she succeeded in solving this problem, he would then assure her a place in history. Abu Hanifa agreed. So she gathered a group of women together and gave each of them a cup. Then she brought in a large bowl of milk and asked each of them to dip their cups in the milk and to fill their cups. They did so. She then asked them to pour back the milk into the bowl. They did this too. She then asked them to re-fill their cups taking back only their own milk that they had poured into the bowl. This, obviously, was impossible to do. Hanifah had clearly demonstrated the kind of predicament that would be created if a woman had several husbands. With more than one husband, if she were to become pregnant, she would have exceptional difficulties determining who the actual father was. Identifying parentage and lineage would then be insurmountable for the offspring. Imam Abu Hanifa was so pleased with her answer that he took the name 'Abu Hanifa', 'the father of Hanifah', so his daughter did indeed earn a place in history.

Brady Anderson is carving a small block of time out of his packed training schedule to demonstrate the true purpose of the athletic life, which is not about money or women or fame or even fun.
It's about beating you.
The field of play — in this case — is a pingpong table in the middle of the Orioles' spring clubhouse at the Ed Smith Stadium Complex, where the team is preparing — with Anderson's help — for the 2012 baseball season. But it could just as well be a tennis court or a flag football field or the running track.
Brady was "Winning!" long before Charlie Sheen ever came out of a druggy haze to consider the concept.
The reason this is so...
