Hollywood comedian/actor Pauly Shore loses everything: his house, nobody in Hollywood wants to represent him, he moves back home with his mom and is now parking cars at the Comedy Store. Then one night when he's up in his mom's loft, a dead famous comedian appears who tells Pauly to kill himself cause he'll go down as a comedic genius who died before his time. Pauly then fakes his own death, and the media goes crazy. Celebrities are talking about him on MTV and girls are fighting over him on Jerry Springer. It's everything that he wanted...his plan worked. A week or so later the LAPD is tipped off about his whereabouts and they break down the door of the seedy motel room that he's hiding out in and throw him in LA County's celebrity wing.

Shore's comedy film days are the only thing dead
29 December 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Pauly Shore is one of my favorite comedians, and probably long forgotten about. Stoners in the nineties have turned into fast food workers who no longer know or need Pauly, and since he's milked his fifteen minutes of fame, no one really has followed the man himself since the late nineties most likely. Which is probably why he made this mockumentary faking his own death. Leave it to Pauly! Pauly Shore is Dead is just what it sounds like; Pauly Shore's career has taken a turn for the worst, and he is desperately begging his friend Kurt Loder, a more successful actor, for any role. Pauly begins to realize his purpose on this planet is none, and after getting some strangely morbid advice from Sam Kinison, Pauly fakes his death. This becomes a genius plan on his part because now he sees how the world reacts to him being dead. Surprisingly, everyone is sympathetic, and Pauly proves death is better than life itself.

Along the way, Pauly captures the reactions of celebrities of music and film like Pam Anderson, Ja Rule, Chris Rock, Carrot Top, Kurt Loder, etc. The interviews are very humorous, and sometimes make me forget I'm watching a film about Pauly Shore. Todd Bridges also makes a very memorable, and humorous cameo. The stars make the film without a doubt.

There isn't too much to say about this. I am a Pauly Shore fan, but it saddened me to watch him fake his own death. I enjoyed Bio-Dome and In the Army Now, and think there are far worse actors than Shore. He is rather funny in this film, and asks a very good/deep question in this film - "would you rather be a dead genius, or a living idiot?" Living idiot for myself.

But obviously this will spawn a line of more mockumentaries by Shore. I think his VJ, MTV, stoner comedy movie days are over. That was clear by Pauly Shore's Adopted that came out a few years after this.

Starring: Pauly Shore, Ashley L. Anderson, Pamela Anderson, Camille Anderson, Adam Sandler, Eminem, Charlie Sheen, Todd Bridges, and Ben Stiller. Directed by: Pauly Shore.

Griffin's CarTrip is a tiny Bluetooth peripheral that plugs into the diagnostic port contained on most modern cars and transmits back usage data and error messages to an app on your iPhone. You can use this data to track different performance data over time to try and maximize your fuel efficiency, or just to pull off any problem reports so you know when -- and why! -- you need to go to a mechanic.

We got to take a look at it live from the CES 2011 show floor so check out the video up top and let us know whether you'll be getting one for your ride in the comments below!

If you have been wondering how Siri reacts so quickly when you "raise to speak", the answer is a tiny infrared LED that's added into the proximity sensor in the iPhone 4S. iFixIt discovered the sensor after a second look, determining that it shines brightly whenever the screen is activated. The light isn't visible to the human eye but it's there. And it's constantly letting Siri know how close your face is to your iPhone 4S.

It does raise a few questions, though. IR is fairly light on battery drain but every little bit extra does add up. Also, iPhone 4 and other older models lack the extra IR sensor, making it seem even more unlikely Apple will ever offer an official port.

If you're interested in seeing how it works you can check out iFixIt's video via the link below.

Hold the Solar System in your hands with Brian Cox's Wonders of the Universe for iPad

Brian Cox's Wonders of the Universe is a gorgeous educational and reference app that takes you on a tour of the universe with Professor Brian Cox -- a particle physicist, Royal Society research fellow, and professor at the University of Manchester. You may also know him as the science broadcaster and presenter of the highly popular BBC2 series Wonders of the Solar System.

When you first launch the app, you're presented with a brief, informative tutorial on how to use the app, then placed in the middle of the universe, out in space. You can pinch and zoom and scroll around to explore different galaxies, planets, stars and nebulas -- all of which is stunning to look at and in motion -- or you can select where you wish to go from the menu at the top of the screen. The included topics are sub atomic, atomic, Solar System, stars, Milky Way, galaxies, and universe.

brian cox wonders of the universe review

When you choose a topic to explore, the chapters will appear in a scrollable menu at the bottom of the screen. As you scroll through the chapters, the screen will zoom into the area of interest. To dive into a chapter, you just drag it up into the middle of the screen. The chapter will not become full width. Instead, it appears as a column in the center of the screen so that you can still see the universe behind it. I really like this -- it gives you the sense of floating out in space while reading.

As you scroll through the chapter, you'll encounter images, infographics, photography, and videos. When you do, the media will automatically resize to full screen so that you can really enjoy it and get engaged. When you're done viewing the media, just simply continue scrolling and the app will size it back down and smoothly continue on with the chapter.

brian cox wonders of the universe

Brian Cox is the presenter in the videos, and I must say, he's awesome. Every video I've watched has made me feel like I'm watching a TV show on the Discovery Channel. They are so well done that it actually makes me want to watch and learn more. As I read through the chapters and watch the videos, I become more thirsty for knowledge of the universe and Solar System.

When you reach the end of a chapter, just continue to scroll, as if pushing the chapter off the screen, and you'll jump right back into space so that you can move on to the next chapter.

I'm not sure if I've ever been able to confidently say that an app was perfect before, but Brian Cox's Wonders of the Universe is. It's perfect.

The Good

  • Gorgeous
  • 200 interactive articles
  • 2.5 hrs worth of video
  • Hundreds of infographics, photographs, and images
  • Over 50 3D models
  • Brian Cox is awesome

The Bad

  • None

The bottom line

Brian Cox's Wonders of the Universe is literally one of the best iPad apps I've ever encountered. It's a phenomenal educational tool that has the perfect mix of video, images, text, and hands-on interaction.

I rarely comment on the price of an app, but this one should be going for at least $10, so the $6.99 promotional price is quite a steal.

FacebookThis is a jailbreak tweak for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch that will allow you to share images directly from your Photos app to Facebook. iOS lets you send pictures to Twitter but not Facebook. Maybe we will see Facebook integration in iOS 6 but if you're already jailbroken you can have this functionality now.

Once you've installed FacebookThis to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch there's nothing to configure. Just choose a photo you'd like to upload to Facebook and click the Share button. You'll now see a new option for Facebook. Once you tap it you'll be asked to add a description to the photo and tap Ok to upload it. That's pretty much all there is to it.

The first time you upload a picture you'll be asked to authorize the Sara app which is what FacebookThis uses to post your images. You'll only need to do this the first time you attempt to upload an image natively to Facebook. After that you'll be able to upload as many pictures as often as you want without having to deal with authorization again.

While FacebookThis is a great way to easily share pictures to Facebook, it'd be nice to be able to share multiple images at once to speed up the process but considering the native Twitter integration doesn't even support this, I'm not surprised FacebookThis doesn't provide the functionality either. Since Twitter is limited to 140 characters it makes sense that iOS only lets you attach one image at a time but Facebook is a different story. Perhaps an image uploader for Facebook will crop up in iOS 6 this fall.

Regardless of being limited to one image at a time, it's a much quicker way to share your photos without having to use an additional app. I've had more than my fair share of issues with the Facebook app and any time I can spend avoiding it is time well spent.

Note: This piece sprang from a discussion I had with Leo Laporte and Andy Ihnatko on MacBreak Weekly yesterday. Both Leo and Andy stated their cases far more eloquently and with far more experience than I could ever hope to sum up, so check out the video below for the entire conversation. I go over some oft-repeated ground here as well, but I think it bears repeating in this context.

When it comes to Apple and innovation, there are two equal and opposing lines of thought. The negative sentiment is that Apple is no longer that which dented the universe in eras past, that it is no longer capable of producing Mac-, iPod-, and iPhone-class disruptions, and is now simply coasting on the momentum of glories and ecosystems past. The positive sentiment is that Apple is still at the height of its power, pushing out manufacturing breakthroughs like the iPhone 5, interface reboots like iOS 7, and bold new computing designs like the Mac Pro. So which is it?

Both? Neither? Some oscillation or cycle? Apple is as it's always been, one part brilliant timing made vulnerable by price and focus, but resilient by culture. And that's what causes the perceptive dissonance.

The Mac paved over command lines and made personal computers more fun and more approachable. The iPod and iTunes destroyed the disc and brought digital music into the light. The iPhone and iPad flipped the table on the lazy, user-unfriendly smartphone and tablet market and made personal computing more personal, accessible, and mainstream.

The Mac was 1984. The iPod was 2001. The iPhone was 2007.

These major innovations were never year after year. The Mac was 1984. The iPod was 2001. The iPhone was 2007. They also each represented a movement into a massive consumer electronics business. Personal computers. Mobile devices. Mobile computers. They required prescience and patience and perseverance. They sat upon the ruins of Lisas and Newtons and ROKRs past, and they laid the foundation for entire lines of Macs and iPods and iPhone/iPads future.

Yes, Apple's focus on margins mean they can be undercut by cheap, which can be undercut by free. Yes, Apple's focus on a few products at a time means they can be blotted out by many options, which can be blotted out by floods of options. Yet free can be beaten by valuable, and floods by coherence. Disruption is cyclical.

That Apple has had so many revolutionary products, however, creates an expectational debt for more, and for faster, that's impossible to fill. What other massive consumer electronics businesses are left for Apple to disrupt in a similar manner, and of those, when is each one ready for Apple-style disruption. And of those, how many can Apple engage at once?

On the stage of D: AllThingDigital, Steve Jobs taught a master-class in Apple's go-to-market strategy. He explained how tough it was for the iPhone, and why it wouldn't yet work for an Apple television. He had prescience. He was patient. Apple would persevere. That disruption would wait until the timing was right, and if it was never right, Apple would be just as proud for never doing it.

Jobs failed with Lisa before getting the Mac right. He failed with NeXT before nailing it with OS X and the iMac. He held off on doing the iPad in favor of the iPhone, and then released the antecedent as the descendent. And Tim Cook, like Jobs before him, is still pulling the string on Apple TV and the living room.

Wearables - the confluence of traditional products like watches with informational delivery systems that include communications from the world around us and biometrics about ourselves - could be another such market. It may not be as big as the phone or tablet market, but right now, what is? And rumors of Apple entering it are at roughly the same stage as rumors were about the iPhone in 2006. Can Apple do it this fall? Could they do the iPhone in 2005 or the Mac in 1980? Were they willing to, given the products they could have launched compared to the ones they took their time to launch? Did they have to?

In the time between massive revolutions, Apple concentrated on and evolutions.

In the time between massive revolutions, Apple concentrated on and evolutions. Apple TV bought iTunes, and then iOS to the living room. MacBook Air made computers truly, ridiculously portable. Retina display took away the curtain of pixels and made content look real. Siri gave natural language not only a voice but a personality. Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X empowered regular users with what was previously only understandable to power users. Time Machine and iCloud made backup and restore something the masses might actually do. Taken separately, none of the equal the major leaps before, and each is easy to overlook. Taken together, they've meant every bit as much.

That's why, in the old days, there was endless talk of Steve Jobs having lost his touch. There were Flower Power and Blue Dalmatian, iPod Hi-Fi and G4 Cube, ROCKR, MobileMe, and Ping. There was the perceived failure to enter the netbook market or to offer an xMac. There was the iPad, dismissed as being just a big iPhone. And that's why, now, there's endless talk of Apple having lost Steve Jobs, and innovation along with him. iPad mini is just a small iPad. iPhone 5 is still a rounded rectangle. There's a perceived failure to launch a big screen iPhone.

The problem with generalized feelings like "Apple isn't innovating" is that they're tremendously hard to address in the specific. What would be different about Apple today if Steve Jobs were still running it? What market could Apple disrupt to iMac, iPod + iTunes, or iPhone levels today if they just seized the opportunity? What could they do to make their products innovative again?

"Apple isn't innovating" is to latch onto but incredibly tough to flesh out. It's first ten words. What are the next ten? What innovation specifically is lacking?

Would a bigger screen be innovative? No, those have been done for years. Would a thicker phone with a giant camera and 2 days of battery life be innovative? No, also done by Nokia and Motorola, and others. Would customizable backplates be innovative? No, Dell and Lenovo came in bamboo before the Moto X. Would pre-emptive, localized Siri be innovative? No, Google Now is already doing that. Would a thumbprint scanner? No again. Been there. Scanned that.

Wanting Apple to duplicate features we like from other products isn't innovation, but it can certainly lead to the feeling that Apple isn't innovating by omission. Yet, again, Apple's innovation has never been in being first. The iMac wasn't first. The iPod wasn't first. The iPhone wasn't first. They were better.

A bigger screen iPhone that serves North American geeks and people in emerging markets for whom the phone is their only connection to world and need to do more than 4-inches allows. A version of Siri that melds that personality with far more, and far more responsive assistive technologies. A thumbprint scanner that balances convenience with security and mainstreams mobile identity. A way to project interface into cars, and perhaps one day onto any display connected to the internet of things.

All of those would be better than, for example, doing a triangular display on an iPad just because it would be different. Or selling an iPod at cost just because Apple can lose money too.

Apple is now as they've always been.

Apple is now as they've always been. They're beatable and Apple better know it. They're vincible and Apple better know it. They're boring and Apple better know it.

Because sentiment has momentum too. It's what leads those not enamored with Apple to predict their doom, and those who love Apple's products to secretly fear that's the best of them are far behind. It's what leads everyone to look back through rose colored glasses and remember with great nostalgia a better time - a time that never really existed.

Anticipation of innovation is far more powerful than innovation itself. Macworld Expo 2007 was a moment the likes of which few companies have ever, much less several times, and likely we won't ever see again. It was Steve Jobs doing what he did best with the most impressive new product he'd ever launched at a time when the internet had made that knowable to far more people than ever before. It was the perfect confluence of presence and technology. Maybe when easy neural implants get broadcast over the interdimensional net Jobs Headroom we'll get that moment again. Likely not.

Of course, product leaks from phones left in bars to parts walking out of factories don't help with the whole mystique thing. Nor do sites like iMore which bring attention to them. But none of this is entirely new either.

Apple will continue as they've always continued. We'll get iOS 7 and iOS in the Car, the new Mac Pro and Mavericks, gold iPhones and the thumb-print reader, and next year we may just get the band. Apple will need to prove their prescience remains, and hold to their patience, but their perseverance is all but guaranteed.

Even complex processes can be quickly and easily implemented – such as multi-stage release and escalation processes on the intranet or the implementation of a multilingual portal followed by publishing in various output media.

Editorial Workflows

All workflows that you map in imperia are defined intuitively us-ing a graphical user interface, the grid. The individual steps of the workflow are represented by graphical elements (PlugIns) which can be simply dragged onto the grid, “dropped” there and connected to each other. The workflow created in this way can be implemented immediately.

The Benefits of Using a Foreign Trade Zone

Tags: Global Logistics, Cross-border Trade

Ty Bordner, is Vice President, Solutions Consulting, Amber Road, 201-935-8588

From large manufacturers to individuals, any size importer or exporter can take advantage of a foreign-trade zone (FTZ). However, many companies are unaware of the sizeable cost savings and other benefits they can achieve by taking advantage of an FTZ program. Utilizing an FTZ can significantly reduce costs from customs duties, taxes and tariffs; improve global market competitiveness; and minimize bureaucratic regulations. Outside the United States, there are many other names for FTZs, including free, foreign, or export processing zones. Below are some benefits of using an FTZ.

  1. Deferral, reduction, or elimination of certain duties. FTZs allow the most duty deferral of any kind of Customs program. Companies can bring goods into the FTZ without duties or most fees, including exemption from inventory tax.
  2. Relief from inverted tariffs. In some cases, tariffs on U.S. component items or raw materials have a higher duty rate than the finished product, putting a U.S. manufacturer at a cost disadvantage to an importer. However, by participating in an FTZ, the U.S. manufacturer pays whichever duty is lower. In many cases the tariff of the manufactured good is zero, eliminating any costs associated with importing raw materials and goods. There is no way to take advantage of inverted tariffs without operating in an FTZ.
  3. Duty exemption on re-exports. Since an FTZ is considered outside the commerce of the United States and U.S. Customs, a company importing components or raw material into the FTZ doesn't pay Customs duty until it enters U.S. commerce. If the good is exported from the FTZ, no Customs duty is due.
  4. Duty elimination on waste, scrap, and yield loss. Since a manufacturer operating in an FTZ doesn't pay duties on imports until its goods leave the FTZ and enter the United States, it essentially is paying for the duties on the raw materials after they have been processed. Thus, duties owed do not include manufacturing by products, such as waste, reducing the amount of goods taxed.
  5. Weekly entry savings. Instead of filing an entry every time a shipment enters the country, an importer operating in an FTZ only needs to file one Customs entry a week, reducing bureaucratic headaches and costs associated with entry filings. There is a 0.21-percent merchandise processing fee for every entry, with a minimum of $25 and a maximum of $485 per entry, which is for goods with a value of over $230,952. A company with 10 shipments a week, each of which are over $230,952, would save $226,980 annually with weekly entries. Weekly entries also save on customs brokerage fees.
  6. Improved compliance, inventory tracking, and quality control. FTZs allow companies to more closely track their inventory. By bringing goods into an FTZ warehouse that you control, you can identify and classify goods at the warehouse instead of at the port at a Customs control location.
  7. Indefinite storage. A company can hold its goods indefinitely in an FTZ until a port opens up, or if there are quotas on a good, until they can be entered into U.S. Commerce without falling under quota restrictions.
  8. Waived customs duties on zone-to-zone transfers. FTZs can be used to manage transshipping operations, saving money on manufacturing processing fees. While most companies are focused on using FTZs for exports, FTZs can also be used to take advantage of crossdocking and transferring goods from one FTZ to another without paying Customs duties. Many mid-level companies, in particular, are using this capability to transfer goods to FTZs both within and outside the United States.

Taking Advantage of an FTZ Program

To take advantage of an FTZ, companies need to be able to track their inventory; trace manufacturing and production orders; determine whether material came from domestic or international sources; and classify goods for duty deferrals and reductions. How much a company saves by using an FTZ depends on the size of the company and its business model. Reducing merchandise processing fees alone can save a company a substantial amount of money.

Larger companies may want to consider using automation to help alleviate the burden of managing the FTZ process, particularly since with high-volume operations it can be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to manage manually. The data needed for classifying goods, for example, is voluminous and frequently changes and must be pulled from country-specific lists. Software that has this information in a central repository with automatic updates can pull information from different systems, such as import/export and warehouse management systems, and use that data for Customs filing and inventory management.

S.B. and the Civil War

Californio S.B. Company C Joins the War

California was a state of divided loyalties when the Civil War began in April 1861, and Santa Barbara reflected this. The decade of the 1850s had seen growing ethnic tension and political conflict between elements of the Californio population and the growing number of American settlers. In October 1861, four prominent Santa Barbarans sent a letter to the U.S. commander in Los Angeles stating that “the safety of loyal citizens of the United States residing in the county of Santa Barbara is in great peril. … Indeed, some Americans are avowed friends of the rebels, and do much to inflame the native Californians and Mexicans.”

Nonetheless, California and Santa Barbara would remain in the Union fold. One staunch local supporter of the North was José de la Guerra, patriarch of one of the state’s most prominent Californio families. Early in 1864, his youngest son, Antonio María de la Guerra, took it upon himself to call for volunteers for service in the Union cause. So was formed in Santa Barbara Company C of the First Battalion of the Native California Cavalry. Antonio María was made captain of the 99-man detachment, his nephew Santiago was first lieutenant, and Juan de la Guerra was appointed first sergeant and translator for the Spanish-speaking rank and file. Another nephew was made second lieutenant.

Antonio María de la Guerra

Mustered in July, by September the company was stationed at Drum Barracks in Wilmington just south of Los Angeles. The Anglo post commander did not think much of Californio troops, so the superb horsemen of Company C were put to work digging ditches for an irrigation project and guarding water tanks at San Pedro.

Finally, in the spring of 1865, orders came down to put the Native California Cavalry on the march — not against Confederates but rather Apaches in the Arizona desert. Due to further delays, Company C did not start on the long, dry, dusty march to Fort Mason just north of the Mexican border until September.

Once there, inaction again became the order of the day for Company C. Although Apaches were sighted from time to time from a distance, the Indians remained frustratingly elusive. Meanwhile, conditions at the fort were miserable: Supplies were scarce, equipment was in poor shape, and disease became a problem.

The Civil War had ended in the spring of 1865, and in January of the following year, the battalion began its long journey home for disbandment. Company C made its way to Baja California, where it took ship for San Francisco. The company was mustered out in April.

Despite a tour of duty that had lacked in martial glory, upon arriving home in Santa Barbara, the troop was honored with a tumultuous welcome, punctuated by music, dancing, fireworks, bullfighting, and a parade.

During two years of service, two members of the company had died, both from respiratory illnesses. Additionally, the health of Captain de la Guerra was permanently broken. Treated with injections of mercury, he was blind by 1874 and died at age 56 in 1881. The last surviving member of the Native California Cavalry died in 1945 — First Sergeant Juan de la Guerra of Santa Barbara’s own Company C.

An Independent Future

Independent Liquor continues to grow its RTD, beer and spirit businesses.

Communication is regular and open, so there’s a clear vision of what’s needed to deliver for the business for the longer term, and therefore it’s easier to put a plan in place to achieve the objectives.

The company still works with and values the small liquor store owners who have been essential to Independent’s success. At the same time, there’s improved rigour, systems, structure and capacity to supply the big outlets and to continue to succeed in today’s business environment.

By combining the success factors of the past with new business practices, Independent has become a more dynamic, multi-beverage business that is investing in people, brands and technology.

Inclusion in global powerhouse Asahi Group Holdings is an added benefit, with its own more than 100 years of history in brewing and alcohol manufacture providing added benefit through Asahi’s brands and financial muscle. Its own philosophy of kando (joy and satisfaction), quality and integrity complement the Independent philosophy of innovation, determination, loyalty, trust and respect.

Maintaining the DNA of where the company has come from, supplemented with fast moving consumer goods disciplines and backed by Asahi’s global strength, creates a powerful and winning culture.

Storyteller: Weaving a tradition

Honea Path woman among generations of basket weavers

HONEA PATH - Gale McKinley's Granddaddy Amos was an accomplished explorer when he was just a boy and knew every inch of the Savannah River.

He spent hours along those banks, fishing and hunting with his brother while their two older brothers ran a ferry across the river that divides Georgia and South Carolina.

"Granddaddy knew every part of the river," McKinley said. "He knew where every rock and every hole was in that part of the river."

He knew the Savannah so well, he could often reach into a crevice where a fish was hiding and pull it out with his hands.

And when he didn't use his bare hands, Amos McKinley used a special basket.

It was long and cone-shaped with a smaller, similarly shaped basket set inside. He lowered that basket in the water, with its bait at the end, and waited. When he heard a "flap, flap, flap," he'd achieved his goal. A fish had found its way through the small cone in search of the bait and was trapped inside the larger one.

"Those were lean times too," his granddaughter said. "Catching fish every day was pretty good."

Those baskets were made of split oak, and when he was old enough, Granddaddy Amos made them himself. Later, he taught his own son – McKinley's father – to make the same kind of basket.

"They'd catch those big ol' river catfish," McKinley said. "When my dad was growing up, he said he and his brother wore out granddaddy's Model T Ford, going down to the river to look at those baskets."

Eventually, McKinley inherited the art as well.

"Dad and granddad were making the baskets when I was about 12 or 13 years old," she said. "That was about the time that the Hartwell Dam was built. They stopped making the baskets then because there was no river to put them in."

McKinley remembers how they could ply the thin strips of split oak off a larger log and weave strips around each other.

As she got older, she asked her father to teach her the craft.

Split-oak baskets date back at least three generations in this family. However, McKinley suspects that the family tradition is much older. In northeast Scotland, historians have found fishing baskets that men used for fishing 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, and the baskets look just like the ones her grandfather and father passed on to her.

A couple of those baskets that belonged to her father and grandfather now hang on the front porch of her small shop behind the Honea Path farmhouse she shares with her husband.

McKinley has been making these baskets for decades.

She doesn't make them for fishing anymore. But she still uses all the skills her family taught her. She makes some of her baskets for museums; others go to individuals.

In 2004, she received the South Carolina Folk Heritage Award for her work in making split-oak baskets. And she's taught workshops in basket weaving to local school children.

Now, she is passing the craft on to her son, Brandon, her granddaughter and to her nephew.

"It's a dying art," McKinley said. "There are so few of us left now who know how to make them. Maybe one of them will pick it up and pass it on. If we don't treasure these things that we inherit, we lose them. That's why I am still weaving these baskets."

Lilly Library Manuscript Collections

The Southey mss., II, 1834-1843, consist of poet Robert Southey's own annotated copy of his only published work of fiction The Doctor, &c (London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green and Longman, 1834- 1847). Volumes 1-5 were published anonymously between 1834 and 1838; volumes 6-7, edited by Southey's nephew, John Wood Warter, appeared posthumously in 1847. The first five volumes are marked by Southey, apparently with the intention of producing a second edition, and include a detailed note about type sizes, suggested word changes and insertions, and some quotations from other writers. Most of the notes are appended to pages of the book but some are on inserted slips of paper. A small photograph of an unidentified woman is loosely laid-in vol. 2, between pages 246-247. [Lilly PR5464 .D6 1834 copy 2]

Glee: Season 3 - The First Time (Review)

Glee: The First Time

Review by Rob Carnevale

IndieLondon Rating: 3 out of 5

THE latest ‘themed’ episode from Glee tackled the big issue of losing one’s virginity. It has already caused controversy in America, where the Parents Television Council (PTC) felt that its “celebration of teen sex” constituted “gross recklessness”.

And prior to its US transmission it was being viewed as a potentially ground-breaking episode for the way in which it might explore both gay and heterosexual sex in the 8pm slot.

Now, here’s the rub: the age of consent for both heterosexual and homosexual couples in Ohio (it varies State by States in the US) is 16. So, the idea of teen characters exploring their sexuality from the age of 16 to 18 (as Glee‘s characters are) is not unreasonable. Sex is a big part of growing up, especially once you hit those High School years.

The bigger issue was how it was handled and whether the material could be deemed appropriate for pre-watershed viewing.

But any fears that Ryan Murphy and co would subject us to the sight of Lea Michele’s exposed breasts on full show or Chris Colfer and Darren Criss in the buff quickly proved unfounded.

Rather, there was a lot of talk, some bickering, huge dollops of contrived scenarios and a soft-lit, Hollywood-esque finale in which both of the couples in question consumated their relationship.

If anything, the issue was so sensitively handled that it went too far the other way so as to offer a rose-tinted view of ‘the first time’ – which, as most non-virgins will tell you – usually isn’t as special as the movies would lead us to believe for any number of reasons (inexperience, being ill-prepared, shyness, etc, etc).

And while the central concept of waiting at least to share the experience with someone special is a noble one indeed (sex is always better when you can be intimate with someone you love) The First Time still felt contrived in making that point.

Both couples – Chris Colfer’s Kurt and Darren Criss’ Blaine and Lea Michele’s Rachel and Cory Monteith’s Finn – went through exactly the same trajectory – build-up, anti-climax as both went about their first attempt for the wrong reasons, reconciliation and then soft-focus symbolic hugging.

In Kurt and Blaine’s case, the need to go wild and experiment (as if ‘coming out’ weren’t already experimentation enough in Ohio) compelled them to go to a gay bar at the request of a potential new suitor to Blaine.

But this felt like a cheap device and an unlikely scenario that Blaine could ever be tempted by someone new, let alone suddenly want to go for a drunken fumble in the back seat of Kurt’s car, prompting their initial bust-up.

Rachel, meanwhile, confessed to Finn that her main motivation for popping her cherry initially was to gain the experience needed to play the leading lady in McKinley High’s current production of West Side Story, thereby compromising their union.

But you knew that it was only a matter of time before both forgave each other and went ahead with the deed (the title of the episode gave that one away)… by which time the whole issue had begun to feel laboured and protracted.

Instead of harping on about sex, the episode would have fared much better by spreading out its themes and doing what Glee once did best by focusing on the fun – the presentation of West Side Story being one such opportunity.

As such, Naya (Santana) Rivera’s rendition of I Like To Be In America was a real show-stopper and one of a couple of musical highlights.

Rather, by focusing on ‘the big issue’ so earnestly, the episode forgot about some of the things that had entertained so much in the run up to staging West Side Story, most notably Mike Harry Shum Jr.) Chang’s big moment on the stage.

All we got to see was him being disowned by his dad and looking nervous in front of his mum rather than any show-stopping personal triumph.

Sometimes, Glee feels like its falling over itself to be self-righteous and worthy (witness the similarly themed religion episode last year) at the expense of the general narrative and, therefore, reality.

And there’s one more unanswered question about the issues raised by this sex-themed episode: namely, parental responsibility and marketing responsibility.

The biggest problem surrounding The First Time was not so much the content and its relatability to the demographic it represents, but rather the fact that so many children of an inappropriate age are being encouraged to see it by both the programming execs who deem it appropriate for an 8pm slot and the parents who see fit to show it to their kids.

And here perhaps lies a bigger question entirely… one of whether kids are being encouraged to grow up and confront such issues too fast.

In the UK at least, Sky 1 has programmed Glee after the 9pm watershed… well, to a point. The re-runs take place at 8pm, so they’re equally as culpable.

Teen sexuality is something we can’t really control especially if the teens in question are above the age of consent… what we make easy for our children to view is.

What do you think?

Kids Command Center – Pottery Barn Kids Knock-Off

I gave you a peek at this Pottery Barn Kids Stanton Collection knock-off last week when I revealed Isaac’s Black and Green Industrial bedroom makeover.  It is the perfect place to keep track of the school calendar, awards and coupons won from school, some basic school supplies, birthday invites, etc.  We are really trying hard to continue to give Isaac more responsibility when it comes to his knowing his schedule so this seemed like a good step in that direction.

5 Ways to Get This Look: Summer Color Living Room

As the days get warmer, I’m drawn more and more to the kind of colors that decorate beach towels and umbrellas. Sun-drenched rooms have the light to be able to handle saturated colors. This room by Holly Hollingsworth Phillips of The English Room was featured at House of Turquoise. It’s a good example of how a room with great natural light can support a bright, busy mix of color and pattern. Check out the tutorials I found for DIYing several elements of this inspiration room.

The State of Eritrea
Submitted by bindero on 2008-06-18 09:34:47 (via www.travelblog.org)
"Eritrea is so much more expensive than Ethiopia! The people are incredible, though: I haven't seen much of Africa, but Eritrea is the first place where I wasn't given preferential (or worse) treatment for being “white”."
Not so many know about Eritrea and this makes this destination so much more challenging.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes

Later Life and Mature Work

In 1793 Goya suffered a terrible illness, now thought to have been either labyrinthitis or lead poisoning, that was nearly fatal and left him deaf. This created for him an even greater isolation than was his by nature. After 1793 he began to create uncommissioned works, particularly small cabinet paintings. His portraits of the duchess of Alba, who enjoyed the painter's close friendship and love, are elegant and direct and not flattering. Almost all the notables of Madrid posed for him during those years. Two of his most celebrated paintings, Maja nude and Maja clothed (both: Prado), were painted c.1797–1805. Goya did his chief religious work in 1798, creating a monumental set of dramatic frescoes in the Church of San Antonio de la Florida, Madrid.

Robert Banks Jenkinson Liverpool, 2d earl of

Liverpool, Robert Banks Jenkinson, 2d earl of, 1770–1828, English statesman. He was elected to Parliament as a Tory in 1790 and succeeded his father to the peerage in 1808. He served as foreign secretary (1801–3), home secretary (1804–6, 1807–9), and secretary for war and the colonies (1809–12) before becoming prime minister in 1812. His government presided over the end of the Napoleonic Wars, negotiated the peace settlement, and attempted to deal with the social and economic malaise that followed. His early domestic policy was typified by a strong conservatism in the face of changing social and economic conditions and by repressive legislation, including the periodic suspension of habeas corpus. His administration, initially thought of as weak, lasted for 15 years, in a large part due to his ability to work with colleagues more talented and ambitious than himself, allowing them broad responsibilities yet retaining the cohesion of the ministry. His cabinet included such disparate figures as Viscount Sidmouth, Lord Eldon, the duke of Wellington, Viscount Castlereagh, George Canning, and William Huskisson. During the 1820s government policy became increasingly liberal. The anti–trade union laws were repealed, and many trading restrictions were removed. In matters where Liverpool had had of necessity to remain politically equivocal, Catholic Emancipation and parliamentary reform, his administration gradually moved toward a more liberal position. He resigned because of ill health (1827).

Vienna (vēĕnˈə) [key], Ger. Wien, city and province (1991 pop. 1,539,848), 160 sq mi (414 sq km), capital and largest city of Austria and administrative seat of Lower Austria, NE Austria, on the Danube River. The former residence of the Holy Roman emperors and, after 1806, of the emperors of Austria, Vienna is one of the great historic cities of the world and a melting pot of the Germanic, Slav, Italian, and Hungarian peoples and cultures.

Located on a plain surrounded by the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods) and the Carpathian foothills, it is a cultural, industrial, commercial, and transportation center. The city is divided into 23 districts grouped roughly in two semicircles around the Innere Stadt, or Inner City. Vienna's industries, mainly concentrated on the left bank of the Danube and in the southern districts, produce electrical appliances, machine tools, paper, and clothing. There are also large oil refineries, breweries, and distilleries. The annual Wiener Messe, an industrial fair (est. 1921), attracts buyers from all over the world. Vienna's musical and theatrical life, its parks, coffeehouses, and museums, make it a great tourist attraction; tourism is of great signficance for the city's economy.

The modern city dates from Francis Joseph's reign (1848–1916). By 1860 the old ramparts around the inner city had been replaced by the famous boulevard, the Ringstrasse. The principal edifices on or near the Ringstrasse are the neo-Gothic Rathaus, with many statues and a tower 320 ft (98 m) high; the domed museums of natural history and of art, in Italian Renaissance style; the Votivkirche, one of the finest of modern Gothic churches; the parliament buildings, in Greek style; the palace of justice; the famous opera house and the Burgtheater, both in Renaissance style; the Künstlerhaus, with painting exhibitions; the Musikverein, containing the conservatory of music; and the Academy of Art. Among Vienna's many other museums are the Albertina, a state museum housed in an 18th-century building, and the Kunstforum, a bold contemporary exhibition space. Near the Albertina is the famous Spanish Riding Academy and the Austrian National Library, completed in 1726. In the late 20th. cent, Danube Island was developed as one of the largest urban parks in Europe; the neighboring Danube City development includes many modern buildings.

Brandon Mayfield,

Oregon lawyer, was arrested in May on a material witness warrant in connection with the deadly train bombing in Madrid in March. The FBI identified him from a digital photograph taken from a plastic bag found near the scene. After being held for two weeks, Mayfield was released from prison when the FBI acknowledged that his fingerprints did not match those on the bag. Weeks before his arrest, Spanish authorities had expressed doubts about the fingerprints the FBI claimed were a 100% match.
