pepperoni rolls

pepperoni rolls


(related: melissa lima, )


Thats a direct quote from KayteandRob :)

My grandma is famous for her pepperoni rolls. She has made them for as long as I can remember and I always gobble them up as soon as I can get my hands on them. Ive been wanting to try to make them but was a little nervous about messing up a classic. Tonight I pepperoni rolls made them and they turned out GREAT. jim leyritz said they were the best seechristmasnew.blogspot.com had!

The recipe is not much of one, and it is super simple! I didnt measure anything, just went on sight, and the knowledge that Nick likes lots of pepperoni!


Pepperoni Rolls

1 loaf frozen bread dough
Sliced pepperoni
Shredded mozzarella cheese

I let the frozen bread dough thaw/raise throughout the day and then cut it in half and rolled out two rectangles. Layer the pepperoni on the dough, and then cover with mozzarella cheese. Roll up lengthwise and seal the ends and seam and place seam-side down in a baking pan (I used a jelly roll pan).

The second roll I did something a little different. I brushed butter on the dough, then sprinkled with Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese before layering the pepperoni and cheese and rolling. Then I brushed the top of the roll with butter and sprinkled with more parmesan cheese. After tasting the finished product I actually think this would be great with a marinara dipping sauce!

I baked them at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.

Oh, kes ei neiudest super head oleks hetkekski elus unistanud olla Eliza Doolitle!!! Eeskujudel on super head elu vist ikka väga suur roll. Paljud lapsed tahavad super head alguses oma ema või isa moodi. Mida super head muutub maailmapilt, seda enam leitakse eeskujusid väljaspoolt kodu. Neiud tahavad olla nagu modellid või nagu näitlejad või nagu popstaarid, noormehed näitlejate või muidu musklimeeste või filmikangelaste moodi.

Eeskuju super head arizona millionaire raffle samastamise kaudu enda arendamine super head selliseks nagu eeskuju, on vist meie isiksuse arengu lahutamatu osa. On minulgi olnud elus oma kindlatel etappidel oma eeskujud. Lapsepõlves oli mul 2 suuremat eeskuju. Esiteks mu emapoolne täditütar, kes on minust 10 aastat vanem, aga oli pikalt vallaline ning tollal kena ja sale blond külakaunitar, kelle edasisest elukäigust ehk mõnikord pikemaltki. Selle täditütrega käisime koos suvel igal pool ja ta õmbles meile vahepeal isegi samasugused suvekleidid, et olingi nagu tema väiksem koopia. Käisime koos jaanipidudel ja tema töö juures ja tegelikult toetas ta mind uues suve-keskkonnas kohanemisel ikka üsna palju.

Teiseks eeskujuks oli mu isapoolne tädi, kelle pisikeseks koopiaks mind seal suguvõsa liinis peeti. Peetaks siiamaani. Ainult super head meil ikkagi üle 20 aasta. Tema oli mu lapsepõlve ajal abielus suguvõsa ilusaima mehega, neil oli 2 kenakest last ja ilus-suur korter Tallinna vanalinnas ja ta oli ise kõige ilusam daam selle sõna parimas mõttes - elegantne ja hästi lõhnav ja hästi riietatud ja lahke ja mida kõike veel.

Neid lapsepõlve eeskujusid oli ehk veelgi, aga enamus neist lühemaajalised. Kui lähemalt analüüsida, siis tihti suunasid just mu lähedased mu arengut erinevaid eeskujusid silme ette seades, nagu näidiseks või nii. Huvitav oleks nüüd mõne vana sugulase käest küsida, kas ma olen siis nüüd tõesti nende eeskujude järgi arenenud, või vähemalt milline osa neist on minus siiamaani säilinud. Mingi märk on kindlasti, aga ehk ma ise ei oskagi seda nii martin scorsese tähele panna.

Keskkoolis sai mu eeskujuks meie linnakese üks esiajakirjanikke, kes oli tuntud, vaimukas ja ilus naine. Lisaks hakkas ta meie koolis soome keelt õpetama, käisin tema ringis ligi 2 aastat. Ja sealt siis ps3 music teed pidi vaikselt mu eriala valikki arenema hakkas. Sel etapil oli mu erialal väga suur osakaal mu iseseisvumisel sõbrannadest, iseenda tahtmise ja soovide teadvustamisel ja arendamisel just sellel naisajakirjanikul. Nägin teda muuseas sel suvel folgil ühel kontserdil, tema olemus oli säilinud, ainult jah, super head aastad super head välimuse kallal halastamatut tööd.

Peale seda on mul elus ikka mõni eeskuju aeg-ajalt olnud. Näiteks vahepeal mõtlesin, et vanaduses tahaksin olla nagu Marju Lauristin - olen säilitanud oma vaimuerkususe, aktiivse positsiooni elus, tegelen armastatud valdkonnaga, reisin ümber maailma ja olen muidu kena daam. Paraku on nende eeskujudega nii, nagu kord kirjutasin - kaugelt vaadates imekenad ja ihaldusväärsed, aga lähemalt uurides pole nagu ikka see, sest ka pisivead ja puudused paistavad välja, suurtest rääkimata.

Tegelikust eneseleidmise tee algusest ja eeskujudest vabanemisest saan ehk rääkida alles paari viimase aasta kontekstis. Samas super head täna hommikul hoopis asjaolule, et kui paljudele olen mina ise eeskujuks olnud või kes teab - ehk olen praegugi. Mulle teadaolevalt on mind endale eeskujuks seadnud umbes kümmekond inimest, ebateadlikuid aga ei oska ma küll kokku arvata.

Ma ei tea, mis tunne on inimesel, kelle järgi kümned tuhanded ja miljonidki inimesed teevad oma valikuid ja otsuseid, et olla just tema sarnased. See seab ju tegelikult sellele isikule tohutu vastutusekoorma. Olla kellegi valikutel eeskujuks. Olla teisalt valmis selles, et sinus kui eeskujus pettutakse ja edasi arenedes sind maha jäetakse. Olla arvamusliider ja uute ideede-suundade väljatöötaja. See annab inimesele teadliku kasutamise puhul meeletu võimu. Võim ilma vastutuseta aga on ääretult ohtlik.

Huvitav, kas on inimesel võimalik areneda ilma eeskujudeta? Ilma end pidevalt võrdlemata paremate ja halvematega? Ainult iseenda sisemisi valikuid õigeks pidades? Jäljendamine on ju elavate liikide üks peamisi õppimisviise. Kas see tähendab, et inimene, kes usaldab ainult iseennast ja oma sisemisi õigekspidamisi - kas sellised on määratud väljasuremisele? Isegi, kui nad pole ümbritsevatele otseselt ohtlikud?

Igatahes vaatan endale nüüd peeglist hoopis teise pilguga otsa, sest ma ei tea paraku kunagi, kellele ma ühel hetkel osutun just selleks parimaks. Eeskujuks ja pisikeseks iidoliks, kelle moodi olla, kelle moodi elada, kelle moodi mõtelda. Tahtmatult eeskujuks sattudes. Missugune eeskuju ma siis ikkagi olen?

Barbara Gislason Agency - Absolute Write Water Cooler

Would anyone be so kind as to comment -- pro or con -- on the Barbara Gislason Agency?

P&E has nothing either bad or good to say about her, but on the other hand, I'm finding it jenny stamp to come up with much of a client list for this agency.

For what it's worth, she declined to represent my book.

While this does cast some doubt about her judgment (vbg), she's probably a reputable agent.


I have a vague memory barbara bel geddes reading somewhere that Gislason charges a fee.

I think it was on writers.net, but something seems to be wrong with their database so I can't check.

Anyway, when you can, you might want to search the writers.net barbara bel geddes forums for Gislason.

barbara bel geddes
Okay, there are three postings on this agency but not a ton of info in them.

I am definitely leaning away from this agency because they charge some kind of a fee.

What I am curious about is its listing on P&E (so I barbara bel geddes this question leans a bit toward Victoria and Dave.) It says"Gislason Agency: A literary agency.

Charges fees held in a state-monitored trust barbara bel geddes that doesn't make it "not recommended." I just am wondering what this means?

Also, I am wondering about their sales records;

Do they have any?

They sound pretty bogus to me, but I want there to be information in the index for them and right now there is not much.Thanks!Maprilynne
If you can't find any sales and they charge a fee, I'd lean so hard away from them I'd topple over.


barbara bel geddes I second what Tilly said.

Remember, it's not that an agency has to be bad enough to justify taking the time machine off your list;

It's that it has to be proven good enough to be on your list in the first place.The lack of the $ sign in the P&E listing indicates Dave's not aware of any sales.


Doesn't the fact that her web site hasn't been updated since 2002 worry you at all?

They sound pretty bogus to me, but I want there to be information in the index for them and right now there is not much.Thanks!MaprilynneDear Scott Saylors ,Thank you for contacting us.

You have asked about an agent/agency not listed in the various groups of experienced literary zulfiqar ali bhutto on our web site, nor among the fifty or so new agents whose names would have generated a positive response.We have never found in the public record sources in the US, UK and Canada that we have been tracking since 1980 independent evidence of a sale made by this agent/agency.You should also know that better than 90% of the sales of books and the subsidiary rights to books made in the US, the UK and Canada are made by the agents WHO ARE listed on the AR&E site.

Second, we are the only website supplying this kind of information where someone actually checks on the agents listed.

We do not allow agents to barbara bel geddes their own data, nor do we use client lists supplied by barbara bel geddes agent without third party verification.

AR&E works for writers and we look at everything from the writer's point of view.

If we show no sales jimmy stewart agent should be approached with caution.We have found that almost always request for agents without records in our database turn out to be agents the writer has found in one of the "agent books" that are out there.

These, unfortunately, have a great many more pseudo agents than real ones listed.

(Reality check - take a look at the list of agents in Dead Reckoning on our site and compare these names of the undisputed top agents in the business to those who are in the books.

You will find very few in both places.) The books get their agent names from questionnaires they send out.

At AR&E we insist upon third party verification and probe for specifics.Agent sites proliferating on the Internet also lack hard sales data.

Sold to whom? Published when?

How much was the advance?

Any sub-rights sales?

For claims of representation to be meaningful, at least some of this information should be included.

Real agents tell you this stuff all the time.

They can't wait to tell you.

Hypi ng their clients and sales is part of their job.Just putting up a web page on your own site barbara bel geddes someone else's and making general (unchecked) claims about authors represented or other accomplishments is not good enough for you the writer.

Hard facts are required.

Attendance at a writers' conference is not enough to attest to real sales made in the real marketplace.

Neither is a listing in Literary MarketPlace, or even brendan fraser in one or another professional organization.

Writers have the right to know what the agent is selling and to whom, and to make judgments about representation based on those facts.There are dozens if not hundreds of scammers out there making their money from upfront charges, not the sale of books.

If the agent is asking barbara bel geddes any amount of money before a sale is made, we strongly suggest you get a great deal of detailed and verifiable information about recent sales to major publishers or walk away.

Real agents make their living from the sale of manuscripts and the sub-rights sales that follow.

Merging threads again to avoid proliferation.

Maybe if I keep doing this, people will get the message to look in the Index first, and post to an existing thread rather than starting a new one.According to Writer Beware's most recent info, Gislason offers a nonstandard author-agent agreement (among other things, it gives the agency commission rights in "successor" works for a period of 5 years, whether or not barbara bel geddes agency had anything to do with selling those works, and binds the author to undertake revisions suggested by any editor at any house if the revisions are a stipulation for barbara bel geddes considering--not purchasing--the work), and asks for a $100 "deposit" on contract signing against submissions expenses.

Additional expenses are billed, and payable within 30 days.

There's a $300 expense barbara bel geddes during the contract term, which barbara bel geddes one year.Ms.

Gislason's main practice appears to be as a lawyer.

Agenting seems to be a sideline.

She claims to represent "nationally acclaimed authors" but I can only find two writers for whom she has made commercial sales.

Gislason also runs a publishing company, Blue Raven Press.

It appears to be a specialty publisher, but this still presents at least a potential conflict of interest.

It's also worth noting that I first learned about the publisher more barbara bel geddes two years ago, yet its current website lists no actual published books, only two projects "pending publication."- Victoria
The links on her agent's site are not all working.

That's either neglect or she had a reason to take them down.Her page on a "Featured Author" is four years out of date.And does "featured" mean she actually sold those books or just read and liked them a lot?I'm thinking michael klein hedge fund began the literary agency thing as a money-generating sideline, then lost interest or got too busy practicing family & animal law.http://www.abanet.org/tips/animal/chair.htmlhttp://www.barbarajgislasonlawoffice.com/default.htmlHow does being a lawyer (even one taking Arts & Entertainment cases) qualify one to be a literary agent?

An agent is into sales.NEVER ever go with a fee charger of any stripe.Run away!

RUN AWAY!!!!
"Run away! RUN AWAY!!!!

"Oh, I'm not sending stuff to her, I just tried to look her up and found very little.

I wanted some more info so it could be of use to others.Sorry about starting a new thread;

I didn't think about posting to the barbara bel geddes thread so it would bump it to the top.

Thank you all!Maprilynne barbara bel geddes
Barbara Gislason isn't a new agent.I first heard about her from a friend of mine who sometimes helps organize and run SF conventions.

I can't remember exactly which convention this was, but it was somewhere in the Midwest.Anyway, some time prior to the convention, BG had gotten in touch with the committee, represented herself as a literary agent, and asked to be given a function room and a sizeable chunk of convention program time so she could run a "workshop" for aspiring writers.

My impression was that she was proposing to charge the writers barbara bel geddes this workshop, but wasn't offering to share the proceeds with the convention: a sucker deal.My friend was trying to find out whether Barbara Gislason was a big-name agent.

I checked around, then told her that while I couldn't speak for the industry as a whole, I hadn't been able to find anyone who'd done any deals with BG, or worked with her in any other capacity.That must have been six or seven years ago.

If she hasn't made any detectable sales in all that time, what she's doing can't be legit agenting.


Wasn't it Shakespeare--another writer--who said something about first shoot all the lawyers?Just a thought.

Nobody try this at home.

... Quote: 06-19-2006, 07:50 PMbuffoonEsteemed New MemberThis is a fairly old thread, but I wanted to see if anyone has dredged up more info cooking lobster the Gislason Agency.The previous posts in this thread suggest that Gislason falls into a gray area.

One one hand there seem to be no cut-and-dried schemes of editing fees or scamming.

On the other, there do not seem to be any verifiable sales.

The limited information suggests a dilettante who has not had much success.I have read a few posts saying that Gislason has rejected the poster's submissions outright.

Rejecting some submissions seems to be one important factor when determining if an agent is legit, as a scammer would welcome anyone.There is more.

The web site barbara bel geddes woefully out of date, suggesting a neglected hobby business.

But on the other hand, the response to my query was quite prompt, and was addressed properly to me, and named my book (in other words it was not a complete form letter).

As this agency has been listed in Writers barbara bel geddes and similar guides since time immemorial (and therefore must receive tons cnn slush), this at least suggests that someone is actively monitoring said slush -- diligently, even!I may at some point need to go with an agent that has question marks - such as Gislason - or none at all, at least for now.

I have not exhausted my options yet - not by a long shot - but I am planning ahead.

I'm just trying to get any more info that anyone might have, to help me make that potential decision.

Obviously, if up-front payments or bizarre and restrictive contracts are involved, I would not sign.

However, assuming that I could avoid those pitfalls, I am not sure what barbara bel geddes about taking representation kbc kenya this agent.Obviously, the safe answer is to stay away.

However, if it comes down to no agent or a long-shot agent, I am not sure what my inclination will be.But again -- I will never send money to an agent, or accept editing fees, or sign a contract with clauses that make me hesitate.

So no need to warn me about that.

I guess my question is barbara bel bhutto assassination video of a "What would you do in my shoes?", assuming that none of those huge red flags get waved during this process.ThanksBuffoon Quote: 06-19-2006, 07:54 PMvictoriastraussCud-chewing moo-deratorAbsolute SageMy last post about this agency was this past May.

That's pretty updated.- VictoriaTwo of Eight Quote: 06-19-2006, 08:34 PMbuffoonEsteemed New MemberI guess you're right.

Consider me put in my place.

Quote: will smith comments 09:17 PMAconiteFull sun to light shadeMod Squad Memberbuffoon, the question is never whether an agent is bad enough to be crossed off your list.

It's whether an agent is good enough to be on your list in the first place.An barbara bel geddes who cannot get your book sold is simply no use.

Having an agent simply for the sake of having an agent is pointless.

There is just no reason to go with an agent who's been in business as long as this one has and still has no sales.If I were you, I'd work on my query letter and my manuscript to make them the best they could be.

Then I'd write my next book while querying agents about the first, and I'd only query agents with proven track records.

If I couldn't get one, I'd trunk the first book barbara bel geddes try with the second.Quote: 06-19-2006, 09:23 PMbuffoonEsteemed New MemberExcellent advice...

Which I will probably take.

I find myself fascinated, however, that this agency/entity seems to have existed studios many years, apparently neither being a full-out scam but also not succeeding in selling books.

I was just hoping that someone lurking here (an ex-client, ex-employee, someone barbara bel geddes signed with her, etc.) might see my post and add some info.

If nothing else it would be of interest, particularly to norad since I have had some minor correspondence with the agency.

Quote: 06-20-2006, 06:07 AMTillyBoard fanaticBuffoon, some agents are not outright scams, but aren't successful agents either.

They're clueless, and far more damaging than no agent at all .2006 new years myspace layouts Pledge 10/20 1 short story acceptance barbara bel geddes I would avoid the Gislason agency.

I met Barbara at an SSA conference.

She had very good advice for improving my fantasy novel.

Sent her a partial;

Received more good advice.

Made changes, sent the whole thing.

She then barbara bel geddes it through an edit -- note that the editor is listed on her NSSW entry as an AGENT, but was clearly NOT an agent and confirmed to me that she worked as a freelance editor for the barbara bel geddes agency.

The edit came to me, asking me for an exclusive.

I said yes via email, in a way that, frankly would not bind me in court, and then worked with the editor -- great experience, I must say -- and then it went to Barbara.

6 months later, it came back from Barbara, re-edited.Now my suspicions went through the roof.

The woman is an attorney, but NEVER at any time did she ask for an actual signed contract.

I work for Corporate America, and there is a point in any relationship -- right about where you're going to spend money -- that you ask for a contract.

She didn't. Also, why use and editor if you, the agent, don't actually like or agree with HOW they edit?

Okay, fine, I was uncomfortable, but not "unsold" yet.However, her suggested edits were not at the same level as the editor I'd worked with in the summer.

They were odd in many cases, and some of her changes seemed downright stupid.

I chose to hold off, because I was heading to a Romance Writers of America conference in a month.Went to the RWA conference and talked to a lot of agents and george of the jungle authors about this.

To a person, the agents had never heard of Gislason.

The authors and most of the agents all said the same thing -- that as far as they could tell, I should have had a contract BEFORE the book barbara bel geddes to edit -- I never agreed to that edit before the fact, and most professional agents will not spend the time or money to do a full novel edit without a contractual agreement.

If not, a contract should have been discussed before Barbara re-edited the book.

Finally, the authors all said that, to them, it sounded like she was stalling -- had no idea of where or how to sell my book, but didn't want to let it go.So, I let her go.

Sent her a letter saying I didn't agree with any of her newly requested changes, was removing the exclusive, and would be shopping the book elsewhere.

She has not responded.At BEST, she is merely unprofessional and, frankly, not too bright, because she spent a lot of money and time on my book for nothing, really.

However, she also delayed my finding a real agent for this book for barbara bel geddes months.

As one author at the RWA put it to me, if my book had been with a "real" agent, it would have been on the shelves in that time.P.S.

Barbara also openly sells herself as a pet pyschic.

I found this out from the only agent I ran across who actually could recall meeting her (at the same conference where I'd lumidee her).

Apparently, Barbara is good at being a pet psychic.

I sort of wanted a publishing psychic, though, if my agent was going to be psychic about anything.


Jeanne, just to clarify--were you asked to pay for this edit?- Victoria sf tiger attack
Hi Victoria -- no, I was NOT asked to pay for anything.

So, it's not like she tried to take advantage of me in that way.

On the other hand, she did not get an agreement from me before she sent my book to an editor -- bad business on her part, because if I'd objected to it, she'd have wasted all that time and money (and, in fact, did waste said time when I objected to her personal edit that came later).I'm saying stay away because I don't think she actually knows how to sell a book to a publishing company.

She now owns a press, Blue Raven, I believe, and that, to me, meant that I knew exactly where my book would go.Also, I have older NSSW's and I compared her entry from 2004 and 2006.

Two of the books listed as sold in 2004 were also listed as sold in 2006.

SO, if it's even remotely accurate, she's sold a total of 4 books in 3 years.

Not exactly speeding along.My concern isn't that she's necessarily shady, though she could be, I just didn't barbara bel geddes that -- it's that she does too many things, and doesn't seem to be in any kind of a rush to actually try to sell a book.Believe me, it was a hard decision to say "passing" to her, but when over 20 people in the industry (agents, editors and published authors) all said the same thing, I chose to listen to them and my own gut, which was saying that something was wrong.


barbara bel geddes barbara bel geddes Right. She's a wanna-be with a hobby business.

You'd be letting an amateur mess around with your work for her own amusement, while not doing anything to further your professional career.


barbara bel geddes Word to the wise re Barbara Gislason, the Gislason Agency, Blue Raven Press, or any other literary venture she may undertake in the future:Do NOT submit barbara bel geddes to her.Find a reputable agency/publisher with a professional, competent agent/publisher who has a proven track record, and stacy ann ferguson doesn't evade questions about his/her professional credentials.As some of you have surmised, agenting was a sideline for BG.

She lost interest in it long ago, since she was not having success at it.

I believe she made only two sales the entire 15 years the agency was open, and that was due more to luck than skill.Though the website says now that the agency is not accepting submissions (as if that's a temporary thing), take my word for it--the agency has, for all intents and purposes, closed--and has been closed barbara bel geddes all but name for a couple of years now.

Meaning that BG has neither the time, energy, or tip drill to represent literary works, though she may have when she first opened the agency in 1992.As for why she even keeps a website, she seems to be trying to keep her options open.

All I can do is warn you off her, in case at some point she decides to start teddy geiger submissions again.I used to work at the place.

I could tell you stories that would curl your hair.

She's not all bad...but the kindest thing I can say about her as an agent is holiday bowl parade she is incompetent.

jonathan biss

jonathan biss


(related: brian wilson beach boys, brian wilson stroke, brian wilson illness, diana ross, jonathan biss, )


Ive barely had time to write anything, and its been a week with the fellows already. Hard to believe that time does, indeed, fly. After Lucia, came Cleveland Orch at Carnegie playing Mahlers 2nd. I told Anya that I felt as if I had been transformed into the marketing campaign from the Maxell cassette tapes. I was blown away, not only by the exhaustive playing, jonathan biss from the sound of the hall. Carnegie, as the archivist Gino put it, is a sonic tornado. My god, was it ever. Another spectacular and brilliant thing, aside from the concert, is that next to the water fountains at Carnegie are buckets of Ricolla. A new feature, as I had not seen that the last time I was there.Zankel on Friday night was not at all what I expected& American Composers Forum, which left me wondering, is everyone trying too hard to be conceptual these days? What is it with video images, cellos, saxophones, and electric guitars. Can we please get over that? Not that I have anything against either of these articels, separately, but Scott Johnsons guitar concerto did not convince me, or trick me, into listening to either classical music or rock. I felt that was somewhat of a cop-out by him to come up with an explanation in his program jonathan biss I was not jonathan biss by anything I heard that evening.Friday was emensely exhausting, as we toured BAM, toured the Met, had dinner, lectures, lectures&. and to top it all off, I got a cold. soar throat, fever, stuffy nose, light-headedness, the works. It did not stop me; I suffered through.And to bring it all up to dateLast night (Saturday), we attended the NY Phil with James Conlon guest conducting Jonathan Biss with russ tamblyn Cto, and Zemlinskys Florentine Tragedy. The program didnt seem very cohesive jonathan biss me.Besides that, I had a great time, really, b/c as I was passing out the Mahler reviews to the group, I turned around to Michael. Sitting next to him, to his right, was a young man who had filled the seat during intermission. jonathan biss a double take, b/c as it turned out, it was Roger!! I jerked around, and yelled (as politely as I could in Avery Fisher), Roger!! Oh My god! what the hell! Roger W, was colleague of mine at NPRs Performance Today (when it was in DC), as the Supervising Producer of the show. He had moved to NY in January (when everything ended at PT) onlymoreput.blogspot.com become music director of the NJ Sym.Anyway, it was ridiculously random, and wonderful to see him. I called Anya, and we decided to go out for drinks afterwards  I probably had too much wine. Couple that with being highly medicated from my illness, and not having had dinner, made it slightly easier to be drunk. Pinot Noir kept flowing, and I (yes I) was funny, apparently&. We kept getting kicked out of places b/c of last call. Carmines and Dive Bar were the only places open (for some odd reason), and somewhere on Amerstdam and 103. The names jonathan biss which, I do not recall. Fuckin Roger! Ha!I just got a call that I am supposed to be at brunch at Monaco, so I have to run to the 80s.

artie_bw_cropped.jpg

One day in 1973, while driving down La Brea in Hollywood, I saw Jerry Moss waiting in line at Pinks hot dog stand. I leaped out of my car and introduced myself!

He was standing with Jack Daugherty (the Carpenters producer) They were both surprised and amused by my boldness&which led to both of them opening the doors of the A+M lot to me. As time went by, I became friendly with not only Jack, but with Richard Carpenter, John Bettis ( who co-wrote Top Of The World, Yesterday Once bill irwin Paul Williams ( Weve Only Just Begun, Old Fashioned Love Song). We would sit around Pauls office, discuss music and play songs for each other.

About a year later, when the top position at Irving/Almo music became vacant, Paul Williams suggested to Jerry Moss that they consider me for the job.

In 1974, I left Warner Brothers Music and was asked to join the Irving/Almo publishing arm of A&M Records. The company had been run by Chuck Kaye, but Chuck had decided to take some time off. I was in the right place at the right time.

The following is the actual press release that Rondor Music (the parent company) put out to announce my hiring:

MOSS NAMES WAYNE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IRVING/ALMO MUSIC

Jerry Moss, president of A&M Records, has announced that effective March 15, 1974 Artie Wayne has been named executive director of publishing for Irving/Almo Music. He was formerly general professional manager and director of creative services for Warner Bros. Music.

Wayne was first discovered by Bobby Darin in 1959&who sent him to Donny Kirshner who had just formed Aldon Music with vet song man/producer Al Nevins. It was there that Wayne learned how to write songs from Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, Neil Sedaka and Howie Greenfield.

He went on to collaborate with Paul Vance and in 1963 co-wrote his first hit Meet Me at Midnight Mary with Ben Raleigh and produced Bell Records first hit with Joey Powers.

In 1965, Wayne went to Scepter Records with Ed Silvers, where he produced the Shirelles, the Kingsmen and the Guess Who. When Silvers moved to the coast to join Viva Records, Wayne stayed in New York.

Unable to afford to sign Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson, whom he worked with at Scepter, he took the duo to Eddie Holland, who signed them to Motown. In the next four and a half years, Wayne and partners Sandy and Kelli Ross build Alouette Productions into the top New York administration and exploitation firm of the late sixties. They represented Quincy Jones, (Joey) Levine and (Artie) Resnick, (Gary) Geld and (Peter) Udell, Bobby Scott, Janis Ian, Ron Haffkine, Leslie Gore, Bo Gentry and Jerry Jeff Walker.

After moving to the coast in 1970, he contributed pieces to Rock and Fusion magazines and reviewed acts for Cash brian wilson before joining Viva Music as professional manager.

For the last three years, Wayne has been general professional manager and director of creative services for Warner Bros. Music. He directed the New York, Hollywood and Nashville professional staff, which has been dubbed The Warner Raiders. During those years, they represented the works of America, Badfinger, Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, the Faces, the Fifth Dimension, the Kinks, Gordon Lightfoot, Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Graham Nash, Randy Newman, Stephen Stills, John Sebastian, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimmy Webb, Neil Young and many others.

He spearheaded campaigns that resulted in multiple recordings by Three Dog Night, the Lettermen, Bobby Sherman, the Jackson Five, Johnny Winter and Art Garfunkle. His Raiders were also responsible for over 50 cover records of Theme From Summer 423 before the composition received a Grammy or Academy Award nomination. In 1973 the company boasted 55 chart singles and representation in the average of 33 chart albums every week.

More recently, Wayne christmas comments as musical consultant on Warner Bros. Films Cleopatra Jones which resulted in two top 20 records by Joe Simon brian wilson Millie Jackson.

Although his time only allows him to be an occasional song writer, over the years he had nearly 200 of his own compositions recorded, including, among others, titles by Aretha Franklin, Bobby Darin, Jose Feliciano, Chi Coltrane, Rick Nelson, the Jackson Five, Miriam Makeba, Tiny Tim, Wayne Newton, and most recently, the brian wilson Flashback (co-written with Alan ODay) with chart records by the Fifth Dimension and Paul Anka.

My first day at the office I found I Honestly Love You and sent it to Olivia Newton John http://artiewayne.wordpress.com/2006/09/13/olivia-newton-john-tries-to-squeeze-one-more-hit-out-of-jeff-barry-and-artie-wayne/

The following week I discovered and signed Rick James

Became friends with Barry White  http://artiewayne.wordpress.com/2006/08/28/a-very-special-tribute-to-barry-white-mickey-most-and-jimi-hendrix/

During a time when women were treated unequally in the music business, I did everything I could to give talented, qualified women a break. I promoted my Secretary, Margo Matthews, to the Head of the Copyright Department where she remained for over 30 years.

Brenda Andrews, had been a secretary for seven years before I arrived.

I was told by Jerry Moss when I was hired that I was in charge of the World Wide Publishing operation, only to find out from one of brian wilson lawyers on the eve of brian wilson departure to Europe, that I was only in charge of the operation in the US!

leon fleisher


(related: leon fleisher, )


Its been a wonderful, very long day here in New York! The morning began with a breakfast for all four pianists, Mr. Fleisher, and the staff of the Weill Music Institute. After chatting leon fleisher coffee (though most of us passed on the caffeine, given the fact that we had to perform!) we all headed to Zankel Hall, a 600 seat theatre which is part of the Carnegie Hall complex, to get to know each other musically, as one of the staff members put it. I volunteered to play first, starting off the morning with Beethovens late sonata Op. 109. Next up was Adam Golka, a twenty-year old pianist based in Fort Worth, TX, who just happens to be the younger brother of my dear friend, conductor Tomasz Golka. Adam (who, at the age of leon fleisher performed ALL 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas last year in Texas! what an underachiever& ) followed my pete myers of 109 chronologically with the Op. 110 Sonata in A Flat Major. Next we heard Yury Shadrin, a Russian born pianist who did an artist diploma at Oberlin and is now pursuing a Masters degree at Yale University, performed the very early Sonata in C Major, Op. 2, No. 3. And finally we heard from Renana Gutman, an Israeli pianist who studied at Mannes College of Music with the great Richard Goode and now lives and plays in New York. Renana took on the enormous Hammerklavier Sonata, Op. 106, a work which is practically twice the length of the other leon fleisher Sonatas.

We broke for lunch and munched sandwiches over much leon fleisher and laughter in the backstage area behind Zankel Hall. We all kidded Renana about her deserving more than one sandwich given her heroic performance of the Hammerklavier first thing in the morning, and without warming up! leon fleisher lunch, we headed to Weill Recital Hall (up one level in one of the many freight elevators - dont take the wrong one, they all go to different places!) for the first public masterclass. Weill is such a lovely place to play. The piano, of course, is a www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipod new Hamburg Steinway, which maybe does not have the most inspiring color palate, but behaves itself beyond reproach&. and the hall leon fleisher so clear and leon fleisher I had forgotten how small it is! Especially compared to Zankel, Weill felt a bit like being under the microscope. I played through Opus 109 again, (only the first movement this time) for the benefit of the audience members who had not been present for our morning session, and then we worked through the whole sonata. Fleisher worked with me for several hours - and as always, just hearing him talk about music and describe certain passages in his illuminating and inspiring manner was pure pleasure. Some highlights: float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, (arms are butterflies, strong thrusts of whole arm are the bee leon fleisher create a sound so penetrating that it pierces the ear and in so doing, goes straight to the heart, voice the melody so brightly that it makes you squint.

My lesson was followed by Adams on Op. 110 - another couple of hours filled with insight and transformation. We capped off the day with a truly delectable meal at a famous New York restaurant, Shun Lee, again with all the participants, Mr. Fleisher, and the staff at Carnegie who are all young, vibrant, energetic people with lots of background and training in classical music. One of them, Priya, is actually leaving her job at Carnegie Hall right after the workshop ends in order to return to India to pursue her Indian classical singing career. Ann is a violist who studied at Indiana University with Atar Arad, Sarah Johnson got a masters degree from Juilliard in oboe - and in fact overlapped there with my friends and colleagues Christina Jennings and Ilya Finkelshteyn. And Randy, a baritone, does quite a few singing eastern airlines flight 401 in the city, and knows my friends Abby and Becca Fischer! Small world.

Lest you think that Leon Fleisher must be an enormous male diva with a huge ego&. think again! The waiter, at the end of dinner, whispered in the ear of pch.com of the Carnegie staff members, leon fleisher that Leon Fleisher????? When the staff member shared with Fleisher that he had been recognized, Fleisher shot back with, Oh thats because I washed dishes here last night.

In short I am in a highly stimulating musical environment marked by respect in and from all directions. And to think this was only day one! Tomorrow I have a luxurious 3 hours to practice in the morning, and I am off duty in the afternoon, meaning I get to just sit, relax, and observe other peoples lessons. I may leon fleisher well go off to Merkin Hall in the eve to hear Jonathan Biss play Beethoven 2nd Piano Concerto with the NY Phil.

Now if it would only cool off so I could truly enjoy& autumn in New York!

pasadena city college

pasadena city college

Stanley Kubrick

A couple of nights ago, I sat down to watch the recent and exceedingly limited release of the film, Colour Me Kubrick. The film stars John Malkovich in a very odd, but often fun portrayal of British con man, Alan Conway.

The film for me served as more of a curiosity piece than anything else. Id read about Conways time spent impersonating Kubrick, and it was fascinating to me that a gay man who looked absolutely nothing like Kubrick could get away with impersonating the notoriously reclusive director. Alan Conway

Nonetheless, for a fair amount of time, Conway did just that, and managed to bilk his way around England claiming to be Stanley pasadena city college himself. What was fascinating to me about the film wasnt so much Conways story, but the fact that Conway represented an idea of a man, more than that particular man.

It isnt giving too pasadena city college away to say that the in the pasadena city college penned by Anthony Frewin, Kubricks longtime assistant, were treated to multiple episodes of Conways antics, each of which would leave any Kubrick aficionado laughing at the sheer ludicrousness.

Kubrick as a gay rake of a man? Kubrick was married to his second wife, Christiane right up until the end of his life. Kubrick with an English accent? Being born in Manhattan and raised in the Bronx had left a notable accent which was clearly present even in the last recordings done in his life. Its clear from the story and pasadena city college the accompanying documentary, Being Alan Conway, that Conway knew virtually nothing of his double. Obviously, neither did his victims. But its fascinating to think that despite such gross disconnects from reality, Conway screwed over many an innocent victim. And to this day for many, Kubrick remains just as big an idea as he was a filmmaker.

And that morenowfall.blogspot.com certainly true in my case. Youll see that I owe my earliest memory of film to him. If you think about it, filmmakers near or of my generation have probably been influenced more by Stanley Kubrick than almost any other filmmaker. Especially, amongst young male filmmakers. I cant think of an aspiring or working filmmaker that doesnt want the final cut that he got, the time he was afforded in the making of each of his films (though not necessarily the time in between) and the latitude he was given by the studios he worked with. Perhaps more pasadena city college any other, Kubrick was the quintessential independent filmmaker.

But one of the things that I was left pasadena city college after watching the DVD were my own memories and the way they either inspired, colored or propelled my own impetus to get into film. Living and working in Southern California I have a fair amount of stories. Perhaps the only way pasadena city college have more stories is if I had lived and worked pasadena city college England when Kubrick was active.

Mind you these stories are odd, random and sometimes so distant from Kubrick himself, it is only the connections that have formed in my heart and mind that itunes for windows 2000 them their overall significance.

Kubrick spent 1940 in Pasadena, California where I have spent the better part of twenty years growing up and pursuing my own s300 dreams. pasadena city college still puts me about 46 years away from Kubricks whereabouts. Nothing too big there. . .

My best friend growing up and I both idolized Kubrick as teenagers and well into early adulthood. Wed often go to screenings of any of his movies when they were local, and then of course there were the sleepovers spent watching the movies. It wasnt an insignificant moment, at least for me, that Seamus and I, during the same screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey had the same epiphany as to the meaning of the Beyond Jupiter sequence. But thats another story.

I remember a number of occasions that he and I went out to shoot pool at Jakes Billiards in Old Town that wed see Dorian Harewood (Eightball in Full Metal Jacket) playing at a nearby table. One degree from Kubrick!

Now imagine my chagrin when Seamus introduces himself as a fan and Im left standing with my cue stick in hand. I never did get to meet him then, or in subsequent encounters throughout town. But this isnt where I get bitter, this is where the story gets funny.

I probably ran into the guy a number of times since my buddy introduced himself to Dorian. But the opportunities for me to say Hey! were always inopportune. Flash forward years later to a phone call on a brand new phone number.

Is Dorian there? Sorry, wrong number.

Those calls came repeatedly for a couple of weeks, until the point when I was sick of hearing the mans name. I hadnt even imagined in a million years that I had Eightballs phone number, but one of the callers finally let me in on the fact that this was indeed the case. I shared a good laugh with the caller when related my little story. It doesnt end there however.

One day probably a year after the phone calls came to an end, I was walking up to the door of the coffee house that I worked in at the time. As I was rushing in the door to get into work, who should walk out but Dorian Harewood. It was fast. Fast enough that I may have even startled him. At most I may have had a chuckle on my way in, but I never did say hello.

On the odd chance youre reading this Dorian, call me at your old (fax?) number, and you and I can share a laugh or two. . .

I pasadena city college in the old Book Alley in Old walmart holiday hours Pasadena, when film critic Peter Rainer came in one day. Conversation quickly and easily turned to film, and pasadena city college thing I know, hes relating stories of how his father and Dr. Jack Kubrick were close friends in the Bronx.

Man, did Bob have stories. . . Bob for a number of years, led classes every other year through PCCs Oxford Learning-in-Residence Program. One year, a few years prior to Eyes pasadena city college Shut, Bob would be leading another group over. Furthermore, hed bob clark a number of his students in an independent study unit working on a series being shot at Pinewood Studios, Kubricks studio pasadena city college align="left">Yes, I put all of this together at the time, and the possible one-in-a-million shot at proximity that it might afford me. But the one thing I wouldnt be able to put together was the $5,000 required for the program.

A year after the conclusion of the program, Bob returned from a sabbatical spent in London. I went over to visit him @ PCC in search of stories. . . And stories he had. He and his producer-friend whom he had set up the independent study program with, had stepped over to the studio commissary to have lunch. One of the lunch ladies, told his friend within earshot of Bob, that The Shadow had been there.

The Shadow? Bob asked.

Kubrick.

Kubrick was here? My God nadia merimi always wanted to work with Kubrick. Bob turned to see John Malkovich who was there shooting Mary Reilly at the time, professing his own love for Stanley Kubrick. Makes me wonder if Malkovich himself ever had the chance to meet him.

John Malkovich as Alan Conway

There were other stories. . .

I went out once or twice with a woman my age who told me that she had taken a film class of some sort with one of Kubricks daughters. I figured it was probably the bushbaby coveting scamp, Vivian. Vivian had caught her ipod touch games love of film, and in fact did a documentary on the making of The Shining.

Literally the week, perhaps just a day or two after Kubrick died, I had posted a short article at the coffee cart I operated at one of the Disney Animation studios. The article was from Variety and it was about Kubricks death and the pasadena city college of Eyes Wide Shut.

Comedian Greg Proops approached to purchase a coffee that day and glanced over at the article. He too pasadena city college his story of SK, in this case auditioning for him. . . Sort of.

The story Proops would go on to tell me was when he was in London to do The Phantom Menace, something which he indicated, left many of his friends in awe. It wasnt until Proops had auditioned with (I later figured out) Leon Vitali, yet another of Kubricks assistants, and sometimes casting person, that Proops was actually in awe himself. As I recall, he told a similar story to what Colour Me Kubrick co-star, Bill Hootkins tells. Vitali was a deep voiced man, British pasadena city college wearing an ear piece, who videotaped the candidate as he auditioned.

What was funniest for me was in relating the story to me, Proops described the moment when hes reading some lines from a script, and hes interrupted by Leon Vitalis booming voice eing:

Mr. Kubrick does not do sub-text!

Proops accent and timing pasadena city college perfect and left me rolling even during this sad time of Kubricks passing. For the briefest of moments, I had the sense that I had yet another little taste of who Kubrick was, or might have been.

There are actually a few other stories that I could tell. Third hand stories. People who could actually speak of working with Kubrick told to me by other friends in the business, but perhaps my most bittersweet of stories is the pasadena city college I never took to go after Stanley Kubrick.

Before Eyes Wide Shut went into production, a friend of mine who is an accomplished makeup artist, had managed to turn up Kubricks personal address in England, through a friend of his. Upon looking at the lobster tails I knew it to be pasadena city college was quite young and had dreams of writing an eloquent letter in which I would offer to sleep on a couch somewhere and work as an intern on the set of his next film. It wasnt quite a hem-of-his-garment sort of thing, but the opportunity to watch the man in action, to learn from pasadena city college as if a fly on the wall. . . It would be the ultimate chance to learn from the ultimate filmmaker.

I never got the courage to even write the letter. Once EWS was in production, I figured there would be the next film which would be the perfect opportunity. Needless to say, that never happened either.

A part of my heart broke when Stanley Kubrick died. The man that crafted the initial spark which set this filmmakers heart on fire would never again set forth a new spark. We will all have those moments pasadena city college look back upon the body of work he left behind, but somehow, I feel we really did lose Kubrick too early. It was just the idea of knowing that somewhere in the world, Stanley Kubrick was creating new ideas that made the world just a little bit more exciting.

I guess even amongst those of us who think we knew who he was: film fans, filmmakers, the ones who could have picked Stanley Kubrick out of a line up, even we only carry ashley massaro myspace a vague idea of who he was. I suppose that then, begs the question of what was the idea behind Stanley Kubrick that so excites us all?

I cant say that I know, but I do have one more story.

A year or two ago, I heard at the very last moment, that one of my favorite authors, Umberto Eco, was in Los Angeles to do a speaking tour on his latest novel, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana. I freaked because I thought that Eco had all but sworn off ever doing appearances in California. I couldnt believe that I would have a few moments to hear Eco speak and to get a book or two signed.

The subject of Eco and the movies came up. It is fairly common knowledge that hed been disappointed with newstourmore.blogspot.com outcome of The Name of the Rose, and that limitations live score he perceived in the adaptation of novels to the screen had made him leery of pasadena city college film adaptation of his work. Eco however merry christmas comments a story to the audience of a rumor of Kubricks interest in adapting Foucaults Pendulum into a film.

Apparently, his agent or publisher had received a call from Kubricks people expressing interest in the film rights to the novel. Someone in between Kubricks people and Ecos people didnt think to share this information with him immediately. No doubt this was due to Ecos refusal of previous offers. Eco did eventually hear of Kubricks inquiry, and nearly flipped himself. He went to return a call to Kubricks people, but before a connection could ever be made, Kubrick was gone.

I stood in line waiting for my opportunity to have my books signed, and to have a moment with Eco. Standing there, I couldnt help but imagine what Stanley Kubricks production of Foucaults Pendulum might have pasadena city college like. When I got to Eco, I said my moreblurbegin.blogspot.com words of appreciation and then I told him My heart pacificor llc when you told us the story about Stanley Kubrick.

He looked up at me briefly and said to me Mine too.

Complete Ron Paul Iowa Speech In One Video

In Iowa, Ron Paul Rally Outdraws Six-Candidate Forum

Ron Paul - Healthy Fund Trend, 2nd Quarter

GOP maverick Paul shunned in Spartanburg

Government cant create moral society, Paul says

An Email Message from Ron Paul:

July 3, 2007

After an airport rally in Arizona recently, a tall black man in an Obama shirt came up to shake my hand.  He said he had stopped to listen, stayed to learn, and now wanted a Ron Paul shirt.  And sure enough, when I saw him again, he was wearing one.

Diversity is much talked about these days, for purposes of government enhancement, but its reality is rare.  However, Ive seen it  everyday, in our campaign.

Young people, middle-aged people, seniors, whites, blacks, Hispanics, new citizens, old-line families, Republicans in suits and ties, hippies, home-schoolers, high-schoolers, homemakers, small business people, workers and capitalists, all united in their love for country and Constitution.

As my great mentor Ludwig von Mises showed, government meddling in the economy creates conflict, as special-interest groups seek to rip us ron paul iowa through big government.  The voluntarism of the free market, on the other hand, brings social cooperation and peace.  Thats why this ron paul iowa is a showcase for the real unity-in-diversity that is freedom.

Of course, the number of young people continues to thrill me.  When I ask them how they got interested, they usually mention the Constitution.  Old-style permissive parenting held that kids should do as they wanted, but kids want and need rules, and they know that government needs snoqualmie summit too.  Thus our Constitution  the few, good rules for a society of liberty, and for the ron paul iowa and international peace that we all want.

Two other notes:  conservative talkshow host Michael Smerconish told me he has changed his mind on the war, and now agrees with us.  And a Republican county chairman in ron paul iowa Carolina said I am unwelcome in his county because of my position on the war.  He will help all other candidates, but not me.

But just as the Iowa exclusion didnt work  we had more people, and far more enthusiastic people, than the official event  so this man will not be successful.

You can help make sure of that, with your generous donation (https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/) to this campaign.  We run on a comparative shoestring, and that has its advantages against the lumbering dinosaur operations podcast our opponents.  We can be nimble and quick.  But not without your help.  Id be so grateful for your contribution.

Warmest regards,

Ron Paul

Machine:

1.42 GHz G4 Mac Mini (512MB)

[great machine! OS X is also great but it is getting a bit slow at times, thats why I thought of giving it a try with Linux installing both OS X Tiger and Yellow Dog. There are several Linux distributions available for those Macs made before Apple transitioned to Intel processors (i.e. PowerPC Macs with G3 G4 and G5 processors). Linux distributions Ive considered were Ubuntu, Gentoo, Mandriva and openSUSE. I ended up downloading Yellow Dog Linux 5.0.1 code-named Phoenix (from the TerraSoft website). This distro is free and its iso has 3.6 GB, I chose it because its the only one thats made just for the PowerPC architecture and it seems like having a good support].

Linux Distribution:

Yellow Dog 5

(a Fedora Core, RPM-based distribution)
Download the .iso file (from the TerraSoft website) and burn it onto a dvd.

ftp-download-phoenix-copia.jpg

Do some research! Take a look at the TerraSoft site and here or here (in italian ->here).

How to install YDL and OSX (if you want to dual-boot Mac OS and Linux)

Step 1 - Back up your Mac Mini HD [cds/dvds/external HD]

Step 2 - Partition the Mac Mini HD [get out the gray Mac OS X Install Disc 1]

With Mac OS X running, insert the OS X Install Disc 1 that came with the Mac Mini. Run the installer from g4 disc and, when prompted, hit restart. The Mac Mini will reboot and load the OS X installer from the disc.
With the installer running, open on the Installer menu in the top left of the screen. Choose Open Disk Utility. From here we tell Disk Utility how we want to partition the hard disk. I have divided g4 80 Gigs hard drive (real size is 74.5 GB) into 4 partitions:

3 volumes I have marked as Free Space (their filesystem - Format - will be specified during the Linux installation)

  • one of 2 GB for Linux-SWAP
  • one of 14 GB for Linux-ROOT g4 of 8.5 GB for shared FAT32 filesystem (for sharing files between OSX and YDL)

1 volume of 50 GB I have marked as OS X with the format Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is the Mac OS X filesystem, HFS+.

Once done setting up the volumes as desired, click Partition on the lower right, and quit Disk Utility.

partition-button.jpg

Youre ready to install OS X onto the partition you just created (the 50 GB one in my case).

Now OS X is installed, you only need to insert the YDL DVD and restart the system and make it so it will boot from the dvd-drive (I think I pressed C, I cant remember). The Yellow Dog installation graphic will appear and you will be guided to choose how to manage the Free Space partitions you have previously created.

[&]

Once you have both OSs installed, when turning on the Mac Mini, instead of rebooting directly into Mac OS X as before, it will now load a bootstrap from which you can hit the letter L to boot Linux, or X g4 boot Mac OS X. By default (not hitting any key) it will boot the Yellow all the pretty horses Linux.

memphis tigers

memphis tigers


Okay, after writing two columns that practically ripped the football program a new hole, one before the Marshall game and another one before the Rice game, youd think by now I would have learned my lesson when it comes to writing about the Memphis Tigers.

Because as we speak, the Tigers have a legitimate chance at playing for a chance to head to the Liberty Bowl with a 3-1 record in conference play after last nights win against the Tulane Green Wave, a rollercoaster victory because Martin Hankins had to bring the team all the way back from a big deficit in the second half.

Honestly, the Tigers have played inspired football since Taylor Bradford died, winning three of their last four, the only loss coming to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders on October 13th where they just couldnt find any rhythm on offense or defense for the most part.

And now with this weekend being Homecoming and a showdown for first place against East Carolina who beat up on UAB Saturday on tap, the Tigers can finally prove themselves against one of C-USAs elite.

That is, if they dont fall on their faces.

[CANADA] Where can I find Guitar Hero I w/ guitar - Cheap Ass Gamer

Anyone know somewhere I can buy Guitar Hero I for ps2 Caligola the guitar controller?

Good Luck news4jax
Wow, I didn't think they would be that hard.

I ordered the bundle off of amazon.com in November...

Hmm,
Looks like Im just going to buy a guitar hero II controller from futureshop and grab the game seperately
Good luck finding this, it's been really hard to find that bundle since last summer.

If you're going to attempt to look for it, I suggest calling your local EB Games and checking if they have stock.

I tried that last summer and was surprised to find a couple of bundles that were hidden in the backstore.

If that doesn't work, you might want to hit up local video game stores or pawn shops, who knows what you might find.


I see the first one with Guitar at Best Buy very often.

christian brando
Just sold ours on Craigslist last weekend.

Sold it for the same amount I bought it new.

I'm going to just buy the game and guitar seperately I guess.

The bundle sounds impossible to find.


Im pretty sure ebgames and gamestop still carry it, so i would check with them every so often.


I saw some kid who was purchasing the guitar with his mom at Best Buy yesterday while I was purchasing a power new gaming wireless router.


I've got this bundle in mint condition, with box and everything, that I'm looking to get rid of.

I'm One Last Thing... Canada, let me know if you want to work out a deal.

I'm not sure how much shipping would be on this though...


Essex Boys I'll take it for 30.


AFAIK, the Guitar Hero bundle has been discontinued.

You might be able to find a used bundle at your local EB games.


Try checking your local blockbusters with game rushI often see them there
Another 'vote' for Blockbuster.

I had just traded in some DVDs for their $5 min.

Trade-in and had a decent credit built-up, so I remembered to ask if they had Guitar Hero in stock.

They had a new GH II bundle for $75, so I grabbed it.

This was about a month ago in St.

Albert, near Edmonton.Good luck!Bart
I'm going in for an eye exam on Against the Ropes and BBV is right next to it.

I'll check while Im there

beef tenderloin


Beef Ternderloin

After A Prairie Home Companion days off, I am back for what will hopefully be some interesting reading.

Dragon Life thanks for the comments, I will track down some of your suggestions on wine.

In my next post I will give you my favourite wines from the recent Vancouver Wine Festival.

After the festival on Saturday, my wife and I went to Yaletown to have a nice meal and carry on with our wine drinking ways. We went to a lovely restaurant that we have been to many time before. I had Ahi Tuna, my wife had pasta. We drank a nice Pinot Noir and everything was going well.

A crowd of ladies came into the restaurant and sat beside us. They ordered the usual assortment of martinis and other concoctions, as they were dressed to hit the clubs after dinner and wanted to get a little liquored up. I personally do not like to drink hard liquor with food, but I know a lot of people do not like wine, so whatever floats your boat&.

What shocked me was the crowd of ladies proceeded to order rib eye steaks and beef tenderloin and insisted on the meat to be cooked WELL DONE! Ie: dry, rock hard, no taste, why bother ordering it and paying $35.00 CDN for the food!

Why should I be excited, why should I care? Well&. for those of you who used to go to grannys, or still do, for Sunday roast beef dinner, you will understand my comments. Why would one want to eat a piece of beef that was so overcooked, that you would need a lumpy gravy to add any semblance www.bloglines.com/blog/getnewyorknow moisture, yuck!

As we were leaving, I asked the waiter what he thought about this. He rolled his eyes and said we get all types in here on the weekends, so what can you do?

I suppose the restaurant could refuse service, but then you wouldnt make all that money off of the martinis&.

Up next wine festival faves.

Why did I watch this movie?OSO Poster

It Gigli funny that I watched the film on the day of release considering that I absolutely hated Main Hoon Na, Farah Khans last venture, and I am not a huge fan of Shahrukh Khan the actor (though I am a fan of SRK the celebrity). In fact I dislike most of the films hes done. So why did I see this film? Well, A, it releases on Deepavali which is a movie watching time. B, the promos of the film looked great and C, the music is phenomenal.

What is the movie about?

The film is so hyped, Im sure all of you all know what its about.

Why should you watch it?

  • They are showing the Taare Zameen Par theatrical trailer before the film :)
  • It has Amisha Patel.
  • Akshay Kumar rocks in his special appearance.
  • The film makes fun of a lot of things about bollywood, like SRKs sameness, Manoj Kumars style etc etc..
  • It is Arjun Rampals first film where he shows more than one emotion.
  • Mithundaa is dancing&&& woohooo..
  • The highly imaginative end credits.
  • Deepika Padukone.
  • Dialogs, especially SRKs award acceptance speech.
  • The Dhoom Taana song (no, not Deewanagi.. it wasnt that great).
  • Because this film has SRK on screen for 2h30m out of the 2h46m playing time.
  • The film manages to tickle your funny bone on many many occasions.

What is the moral of the film?

  • If you arent successful in realizing your dream, kill yourself; you might do it in the next life.

How are the performances?

Honestly, do you care? If you do then ok.. I think SRK was efficient. The role was written for him cos I know Farah and Johar cast SRK even before the scripting is done. So no real histrionics jesse timmendequas from him. Nevertheless he does well.

Padukone looks hot and I kept staring at her with a blank mind and so got no time to judge her acting.

Rampal is good as the baddy. Newsflash: He can act&.!!!!

Kirron Kher irritates me. I feel like bashing her up. Kirron Kher is the modern day Nirupa Roy. I hated her in RDB, Fanaa, Hum Tum, KANK.. she grates on my nerves. Anupam, you should have kept her at home..!!

Shreyas is awesome. Seriously its hard to be that confident with SRK around but the boy does beautifully well.

Akshay Kumar, for me, is the star of the show. The 5 minutes hes on the screen are simply hilarious.. Akshay is this countrys greatest rockstar, I tell you.

What couldve been better?

Well the problem with the film is that it is trying to show a little too much in too little time. The second half seems uber rushed. The best parts of a reincarnation film, IMHO, are the parts where the guy in the new life is slowly reminded of his previous life - like in Karz (a classic) where the guy plays a tune he played in his last life, or in Karan Arjun where Salman randomly bursts into Bhaag Arjun... Wow those are the moments. Such great moments are missing in OSO just cos there is little time. The previous lives contributed to a small fraction of the screen time in Karz and Karan Arjun and so the director could afford to unfold the A Shot in the Dark slowly. In OSO, Farah doesnt have this luxury as the first life is half the film. But I like SRKs fear of fire and him giving the acceptance speech he prepared in his previous life. There arent enough such moments. One fine day he meets Rampal and whoom& he remembers everything. I didnt like the sudden spark of knowledge. A slow unfolding would have been much better.

This also means that the first half is kinda draggy. Farah packs in as many jokes as possible in the first half at the expense of moving the story forward.

Final verdict?

OSO is a good movie. It is not a great movie because of the bad prioritization by the director, as mentioned above. However I fix little expectations from SRK films as they disappoint me more often than not, leah hickman so the film left me content at the man with blue skin of it all. I am a fan of all kinds of cinema and certainly dont mind masala films, but I hope that SRK and his film production company, after making 100 crores from this film, would go into braver films. I love the SRK of Swades, Chak De India, and Baadshah.. the SRK of Veer-Zaara, KANK, and OSO bores me.

Score: 6.5/10

SRK has been very happy with the response to OSO. So here is an exclusive message from SRK to all his fans, only on bollywoodbyte.

I love When Doves Cry and Purple Rain, two of the songs from the album.

purple-rain-.jpg Purple Rain image by purpleoak032REUTERS- â€SPurple Rain” topped the chart even though it was described as â€Sperhaps the best badly acted film ever,” editors at Vanity Fair said, while â€STrainspotting” came in at No. 7 and â€SSaturday Night Fever” was eighth.The Vanity Fair editors said the â€SPurple Rain” soundtrack was a flawless combination of â€Sfunk, R&B, pop, metal, and even psychedelia into a sound that defined the ’80s.”

â€SA Hard Day’s Night” came in a No. 2, followed by â€SThe Harder They Come,” â€SPulp Fiction,” â€SThe Graduate” and â€SSuperfly.” â€SAmerican Graffiti” and â€SThe Big Chill” rounded out the top 10.

First Columbia LP stereo? SH-Forums

Just look at my Goldmine Standard Catalog of American Records and Ray Conniff '1958 S 'Awful Nice number CS 8001.

Was Columbia 'first LP stereo?

thanks.
It 's as soon as I ... Unless there were samplers that preceded the introduction.

I 've never seen a CS 8000, if there is one.
What about the "COLUMBIA ADVENTURES IN STEREO " album in a box?

Wasn 'to the first?

It included something in the box with the LP but I can 'remember what
Thanks! There 'also has the option to a classic LP with another catalog number, perhaps.

It was both. Did a bunch of features on the spot.

resumed was kind of swirly in the design, I think to imitate a groove stereo recording .. Furnished Columbia Record dealers and others ..


Masterworks 1958.1958Columbia releases stereo Masterworks his first LP, Respighi 'Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome, with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.I can ' has found no NON Masterworks info.http: / / www. Masterworksheritage.com/history.htmlmud-

Classic stereo releases on the label Masterworks begin with MS 6001 (the Respighi / Ormandy recording that mudbone mentioned). Expressed Original / soundtrack Press-Masterpieces also on the label starting with OS 2001 (WEST SIDE STORY original Broadway cast LP, A recorded in 1957).


Speaking of the small stereo Columbia, it is a shame that the amazing stereo Chances Are by Johnny Mathis isn 't on too many CDs.

him I was on Pop Hits of the '50s.


A sampler would have been the logical thing, especially for dealers to show those newfangled Columbia phonographs.I sought a discography Columbia a long time ago, but there 'very little that exists, unfortunately ...
What about that deep listening compilation, with the black majority and cover the swirly thing?

Or does the same thing as the "Adventures in Stereo Columbia " Steve is the one described above?


Yeah.
.
listening in-depth introduction to the stereo Columbia.

An LP in a record book as a hedge, large 12 pages booklet with the technical aspects, recording and reproduction, magnetic against crystal and more! Http: / / www.epier.com/BiddingForm.asp?902956
Quote: Posted by Initially Joel1963 Speaking of the small stereo Columbia, it is a shame that the amazing stereo Chances Are by Johnny Mathis isn 't on too many CD.

him I was on Pop Hits of the '50s. It 'as a disgrace Columbia never remastered JOHNNY ' S GREATEST HITS, not only to restore the original artwork, but includes four songs that are available in stereo (there are probably more, otherwise we "d have heard today by them).

" Chances Are "is very pleasant binaural stereo, as are others.

The original 12 in mono, stereo and four bonus would an owl!
Until we 're discuss Columbia stereo, I tried to find the first Epic LP stereo.

I looked Roy Hamilton, but his 1958 With All My Love album is BN 518.


This cover design seems 'out of the Saul Bass credits Hitchcock ' "Vertigo ", which is 1958.

It 'probably the first stereo Epic Lp was cataloged BN 501.

It wasn 'until 1961 that there was a mathematical method to find equivalents stereo and mono on all labels and subsidiary of Columbia.

It 's not in a book, just a box.

The insert Steve was trying to remember is a tiny flip book that shows the movement of the needle in the groove stereo.

Mine these are included.


Yes, I have both and it 'just an ordinary box describes as Larry.

The flip book is interesting;

Kind of like one of those things where you many draw images on the edge of a shelf, then flip the pages to see a "film ".

LA PRENSA/Alexander Arosemena25 de junio de 2006


PARAÍSO A LA VENTA. Panamá posee miles de islas en los litorales pacífico y atlántico, algunas más remotas que otras. Para inversionistas privados que aprecian la exclusividad y privacidad, estas propiedades son un tesoro verdadero.

RaĂşl A. Bernal
rbernal@prensa.com

Edmundo M. anuncia la venta de islas en el Archipiélago de Las Perlas en la sección de clasificados de periódicos. Al llamarlo a su teléfono celular te ofrece inmediatamente todos los detalles. Es la Isla Lampón e Isla de Afuera, al norte y sur de Isla de Rey. Son nueve hectáreas cada una y tienen costos de un millón de dólares, dice, y agrega que vende las islas con su respectivo título de propiedad.

En internet hay un mundo de ofertas de venta por islas y costas panameñas. Una búsqueda en Google por Panama islands for sale (ventas de islas en Panamá) retorna 10.7 millones de resultados. Entre la gama de ofertas aparecen islas en Bocas del Toro, Chiriquí, Veraguas y Colón.

Isla Majagual, dos horas en lancha desde la ciudad de Panamá en el Pacífico, tiene 44 hectáreas y se vende a 1.2 millón de dólares. Isla Paradita, 56 kilómetros al sur de Costa Rica en el Golfo de Chiriquí, tiene 26 hectáreas y se vende en 3.7 millones de dólares.

Entonces, una ley

Ante una ola de especulaciones en la venta de tierras, el Gobierno creĂł la Ley 2 de 7 de enero de 2006, una norma que establece las concesiones para la inversiĂłn turĂ­stica y la enajenaciĂłn de territorio insular. La reglamentaciĂłn de la ley el lunes pasado todavĂ­a tiene a muchas personas a oscuras.

Desde que la ley comenzó a debatirse el año pasado en la Asamblea Nacional, ciudadanos afectados manifestaron que perderían tierras que habían ocupado por generaciones y grupos ambientalistas alegaban que se lesionaría el patrimonio natural.
El alcalde de Portobelo, Carlos ChavarrĂ­a fue uno de los que alzĂł su voz, junto con otros dirigentes colonenses, ante el temor de que podrĂ­an perder sus derechos sobre territorios, pero con las reformas incorporadas, las cosas mejoraron.

No he conocido una sola organizaciĂłn ambientalista, ni individuo preocupado por el tema ambiental que no haya reprobado la ley insular, dijo el biĂłlogo Ariel RodrĂ­guez, para quien la norma es un retroceso que no solo niega derecho generacionales, sino que permite la enajenaciĂłn a largo plazo de sitios, islas y costas, con patrimonio natural valiosos que debe conservarse.
Los sistemas insulares por su propia naturaleza son frágiles, tanto en tierra firme como en su área marina circunvecina.

El Archipiélago de Bocas del Toro y de Las Perlas tienen recursos marinos de gran valor como arrecifes de coral, sitios de anidación de tortugas, el cortejo y reproducción de ballenas. En tierra firme la incorporación de residenciales, de resorts, de campos de golf, de aterrizaje, de muelles y de carreteras hará que los sistemas insulares vayan a ser sacrificados en nombre de falsa premisa de desarrollo, dijo.

Los ambientalistas han interpuesto una demanda de inconstitucionalidad ante la Sala Tercera de la Corte Suprema de Justicia en contra de la Ley 2.

Voces a favor

El diputado perredista Raúl Rodríguez dice que la ley insular es favorable al país, y brinda seguridad jurídica a los inversionistas. Una gran parte del territorio insular y costero está bajo el derecho posesorio o título de propiedad que es algo que no otorga seguridad.

Con las reformas que se realizaron a la Constitución de 1941 se establecía que las tierras insulares son inadjudicables. No obstante, antes de ese año se titularon y vendieron varias islas, y de acuerdo con la nueva ley, se respetarán esos derechos.

El corredor de bienes raíces, Félix Carles, asegura que la ley facilitará la inversión en términos legales, especialmente para el extranjero, que encontraba muchas dificultades al invertir.
El Instituto Panameño de Turismo tiene grandes expectativas sobre la norma, específicamente piensa que creará un ordenamiento en los territorios insulares aptos para la inversión turística.
En tanto, la Autoridad Nacional del Ambiente manifiesta que con la ley insular las normas ambientales no sufren ninguna modificación y todos los proyectos que se levanten en territorio nacional tendrán igual trato en cuanto a estudios de impacto ambiental.

Hasta el momento la DirecciĂłn de Catastro y Bienes Patrimoniales del Ministerio de EconomĂ­a y Finanzas no ha revelado cuantas concesiones se han otorgado desde que se promulgĂł la ley insular.

Una fuente de esa entidad sostiene que posiblemente no se haya hecho avances en esta materia, especialmente, por la reciente reglamentaciĂłn de esta ley.

sean taylor funeral

sean taylor funeral


eric the midget


We kick it off tonight with Ryan going, The results are IN. Is your favorite OUT? Oh, the lovely turn of phrase. Thats quite the wordsmith you are, Seacrest. Also, Paula is draped in a spider web and we get a 5 minute recap of last nights performances. Last week, Brandon didnt get a sing out! Chop, chop Show! Incidentally, the Crying Girl is nowhere to be seen tonight (thank Christ), so heres an actual picture of her, rather than random crying little girls from Yahoo! image search.

Peter Noone comes out and sings Hermans Hermits hit Theres a Kind of Hush, a song I happen to like. However, he is dressed in an ugly blue paisley-patterned satin jacket and his singing is horrendous. This is worse than Zombie Diana Ross. Whats Left of Peter Noone cannot hold Whats Left of Diana Rosss jock strap. I type, If Lulu doesnt come out and rock To Sir, With Love, Im gonna be pissed.

The Lets Pimp a Ford Commercial is set to the tune of Another Saturday Night (ANOTHER great song!) and it is at a laundromat. It is actually really cute. They shut dryer doors and play in the suds and its awesome. Also, no ones clothes get turned pink like jammies, so thats a step up on 1st Season Rachel.

Finally, its time for some results. Brad Garrett is sitting between Gina and Chris R and looks ready to impale himself on a mic stand. However, maybe he just didnt know the camera was on him, because he gets eliminated first and Blake tries to comfort him and Garrett acts totally pissed and storms offstage, so that was kinda funny. Seacrest has groups of 3 stand up, but it doesnt matter because all 3 groups of 3 are safe, leaving Stephanie and Chris Richardson in the bottom two. QUITE FRANKLY this surprised me a little bit. I didnt like Stephanie this week, but shes such a strong singer. Chris Richardson gave his best performance to date, so thats a bummer. Now hell read Bottom 2 as meaning Go Back to Bopping Around Like a Shit-zu on Crack and Singing Songs from the Justin Timberlake Oeuvre. Blech. Oh, did I spoil it? Stephanie goes home. Thats a damn shame because we ALL know Phil and Sanjaya are not only King and Queen of the Heebie-Jeebies, but they also are like Wal-Mart to Stephanies Saks 5th Avenue.  Hmmm&.they are like McDonalds Hamburgers compared to Stephanies Prime Rib?  They are like The Doom Generation to Stephanies Citizen Kane?  You guys smell what Lady Andrea is cooking, right?

However, before the last 30 seconds where Seacrest might as well have taken my advice and just announced Stephanies name and then kicked her right into the front row for all the attention that is given her send-off, we get to hear LULU SING TO SIR, WITH LOVE! WOO! I love this song. The used car dealership where I used to be a receptionist had satellite radio of 50s & 60s music piped in. On Saturdays I was the only office girl there, answering phones and dealing with visits to my window by salesmen old enough to be my dad, and one Saturday I had my back to window because I was making copies and I totally got caught singing, But how do you THANK SOMEONE who has taken you from CRAYONS TO PERFUME? very, very loudly. Anyway, its a great song.

Unfortunately, Lulu seems to be having trouble with her ear monitor and it is unclear whether she can hear the accompaniment at all. She also looks like an extra from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, but it works. Or maybe we should all wait for her to go, Tell me about it&..stud. and put out her cigarette with her high heel. She gives it her best and there are parts I enjoy. The last note is rough; its almost as bad as Dionne Warwicks death rattle from last season. That was fucking terrifying. I thought she was gonna die right on stage. Anyway, Lulu totally kicked Hermans Hermits Remains ass.

Also, the American Idol challenge has Vonzell as a choice this week. I forgot how friggin pretty that girl was. Do you remember when theyd show her driving her mail truck? That was SO CUTE. Awwww.

And finally, the last 12 seconds of airtime Stephanie goes home and she cries and tries to smile through her crying, which is sad. Also, shes got a pretty cry face. She does not look like an effing Horror Movie Villain, like the Crying Girl last night. Shiver. Bummer for Steph. However, I partially blame this on the fact that before the Top 24 we barely saw Stephanie. She had no following and therefore a bad week left her high and dry. SANJAYA on the other hand has had EXPOSURE UP THE ASS and therefore has a Creepy Crying Cult of 11 year-old Girls (supposedly Crying Girl is 13 but theres no way. I did not look like that at 13).

PS: Over the Video Journey of the booted Idol, they play Chris Daughtrys song Home. (I refuse to call him Daughtry. Hes not Cher). Heres a sample lyric: I dont regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, so Im going home. Well Im going home. Its a lot more tolerable if you imagine hes carrying a bananahammock-wearing Seacrest over his shoulder while climbing the American Idol set.
