The Race Roundtables Forecast Awards Chatter Behind the Screen
Oscars 2015: Bruce Vilanch's Guide to Watching the Telecast
5:00 AM PST 2/20/2015 by Bruce Vilanch
Illustration by: Peter Arkle
Staying home? The former Academy Awards head writer, who penned show jokes from 2000-14 (and as you'll guess, isn't writing them this year), offers this advice.
This story first appeared in the Feb. 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
Gather all viewing essentials. These should include:
• Chinese food
• A cheap bathrobe onto which you can drop pork lo mein in duck sauce
• Boxes of filthy wine
• Popcorn, to make you feel like you are at the movies and not just watching clips of movies you'd never think of seeing
• A Koosh ball in all the colors of the gay-pride rainbow (more on this later)
AROUND NOON
Red carpet begins
It won't be the same without Joan Rivers asking:
• Who are you wearing?
• Who are you married to this year?
• Why are you here?
• What is that smell?
• Do you know any single, straight guys in Bel Air (East Gate) who might be interested in my daughter or me, or both of us?

DRINKING GAME #1
Drink every time someone looks over the shoulder of the person they're talking to because there's someone more famous out of camera range.
Half-hour to showtime
• Rid yourself of distractions, including your well-meaning but dim friend who will ask, "But what's the difference between sound editing and sound mixing?"
• Put on cheap bathrobe
• Open carton of spring rolls
Neil Patrick Harris bursts forth to host. The biggest shock of the night will be if he offends anyone, even aged Nazi war criminals watching from huts deep in the jungles of Paraguay. But on the Oscars, you never know. People who never watch TV or go to the movies or have ever heard the phrase "self-cleaning oven" invariably tune in to the Oscar show and are outraged by everything they see, hear or think they saw/heard.

Drink every time there's a shot of an actress with ridiculous cleavage.
Bonus drink if she's texting or checking her teeth for lipstick. Unless it's Patricia Arquette, because she just doesn't care. If it's a bad year for cleavage, you can substitute a drink for each time the camera lingers on someone that no one on the planet recognizes, which means it's the director's spouse or the seat-filler where Marion Cotillard is supposed to be — or it's Meryl Streep, who has stopped dressing for these things.
6:00 P.M.-ISH
First acting awards: supporting actor/actress
You will know it because it will be presented by last year's winner, of whom you will have to be reminded. If you love the winner, have a spare rib. If you loathe the winner, here's where that Koosh ball comes in. Fling it violently at the screen. You'll do no harm. Repeat this all evening. Very therapeutic. People in the theater will wish they had a Koosh ball. Or any balls.
Read More Oscars: 10 Times Politics Took Over the Podium
GOOD TIMES TO TAKE A WHIZ
• Recap of Sci-Tech Awards
• Governors Ball festivities
• Documentary Feature
• Documentary Short Subject
Because you probably aren't interested, unless Kim Kardashian's rear end is presenting the award.
HOURS LATER
There may be an awkward political moment when the documentary award is presented. That's usually when it happens. But by then you won't care. In fact, as the afternoon turns into evening, a good deal of the audience no longer cares. For each person who wins, there are four people who don't, so the audience fills up with losers. And with seat-fillers, for losers who are so bitter they're already at the bar or in the car, or the bar in the car. But you have no such worries. You are in a duck sauce-stained universe, watching Adam Levine manfully tackle a song you've never heard from a movie you didn't see. And in a few hours, there'll be Julianne Moore looking terrific as she hoists her Oscar high. Next year, you'll get dressed up and go to a big party. And watch the whole thing on DVR when you get home. Of course you will. Now then, what's on TCM?

Culture & Society, Games
Knights jousting at a tilt, a popular event at a tournament.
A tournament (or tourney) is a great social event featuring competitive contests of martial skill, often thrown by a noble house to celebrate honor and chivalry or mark some event such as a wedding or nameday. They also allow a noble house to flaunt their wealth and status, as tournaments are enormously expensive. It can take a smaller house years to pay for one tourney.
There is no set format or length for a tournament, with modest ones lasting perhaps only an afternoon and consisting of a few events, while larger ones may sprawl across a week and feature many different contests and challenges.
A tourney may consist of one or more of the following events:
The jousting lists: mounted knights charge one another with lances, with the aim of dismounting one another. The knight who remains mounted the longest is the winner.
The melee: a number of men engage in combat using swords, maces and axes. Opponents have to be knocked over and made to yield.
Archery: archers compete with one another to show who has the greatest accuracy and consistency.
Axe-throwing: similar to the archery contest, but with axes.
Horse-racing: Unarmored riders compete in a simple horse race around a track.
Tournaments also attract large numbers of side-events, including puppet shows, mummer performances and so on. Vast quantities of food and drink are consumed at a tourney, and blacksmiths can find plenty of work repairing damaged armor or buying the armor and weapons of defeated knights.
While tourneys are non-lethal and some safety precautions are taken, accidental deaths or injuries at a tournament are not unusual.
1 List of Tourneys
1.1 Tourney at Harrenhal
1.2 Tourney at Lannisport
1.3 Tourney at Willem Frey's Wedding
1.4 Tourney of the Hand
1.5 Tourney on King Joffrey's nameday
1.6 King Renly Baratheon's Tourney
List of Tourneys
Tourney at Harrenhal
Before Robert's Rebellion in the Year of the False Spring, Old Lord Whent held a great tourney at Harrenhal with a great attendance including the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen, Eddard Stark, Robert Baratheon and Lyanna Stark. Lyanna was already betrothed to Robert at that time. Arthur Dayne rode and was only defeated by Rhaegar Targaryen.[1] The last two riders were Rhaegar and Barristan Selmy. When Rhaegar won, everyone cheered for their prince with the girls laughing when he took off his helmet and saw his silver hair. All the smiles died when Rhaegar rode right past his wife, Elia Martell, and lay a crown of winter roses as blue as frost on Lyanna's lap.[2][3]
Tourney at Lannisport
A tournament was held at Lannisport after the Greyjoy Rebellion, to celebrate the Crown's victory over the ironborn. Tyrion Lannister met Lord Gregor Forrester at the tourney, where Lord Forrester confided his distrust towards Roose Bolton.[4] Jorah Mormont was the victor, even defeating Jaime Lannister.[5]
Tourney at Willem Frey's Wedding
A tourney was held during the celebration of Ser Willem Frey's wedding. Tyrion Lannister got Jaime Lannister's squire Bryan so drunk that he vomits on his horse and their distant cousin, Alton Lannister, volunteers to act in Bryan's place despite never having squired before and Alton's father apprehensions. Jaime thought Alton had a talent for squiring. Jaime unseated Balon Swann.[6] A Riverlands traveller also watched Jaime fight.[7]
Tourney of the Hand
Ser Loras Tyrell rides at full tilt in the joust at the Tourney of the Hand.
King Robert Baratheon declared that a tournament be held to celebrate his appointment of Eddard Stark as Hand of the King. Ser Hugh of the Vale dies during his joust against Ser Gregor Clegane when a splintered lance is driven through his throat.[8] Ser Loras Tyrell won the final joust against Ser Gregor Clegane by riding a mare in heat distracting Gregor's stallion. However, this prompted Gregor to fly into a rage, decapitating his own horse. Gregor attacks Loras, but Gregor's younger brother Sandor Clegane intervened and fought off Gregor to protect Loras until they heeded King Robert's shouted demand to stop this folly. In gratitude, Loras proclaimed Sandor champion.[9]
Tourney on King Joffrey's nameday
The Hound defeats his opponent at King Joffrey's tourney.
A tourney is held to celebrate King Joffrey's nameday. Unlike the Tourney of the Hand, this one is a smaller affair consisting only of duels, held on the eastern walls of the Red Keep, overlooking Blackwater Bay. Sandor Clegane defeats and kills an opponent in a duel. Lothor Brune, a freerider in the employ of Lord Petyr Baelish, is also set to duel Ser Dontos the Red of House Hollard but the confrontation is forfeit when Ser Dontos shows up drunk. King Joffrey orders his execution by being forcibly fed wine but decides to make him his new fool when Sansa Stark and the Hound convince him it is ill-luck to kill a man on one's nameday.
Tyrion Lannister interrupts the proceedings, having arrived in the capital after engaging the Stark army at the Battle of the Green Fork. Tyrion arrives wearing full armor, specifically to mock Joffrey from holding a leisurely tournament in the capital city, even as the War of the Five Kings is exploding across Westeros and over half of the realm refuses to acknowledge his rule.[10]
King Renly Baratheon's Tourney
King Renly Baratheon held a tournament at his army camp, to entertain his new allies and boost the morale of his army. It included no jousting but instead consisted purely melee combat on foot. Renly observed the melee with his new wife and queen, Margaery Tyrell, seated at his side, as the entire crowd cheered on the combatants. The final round was between Lady Brienne of Tarth and Ser Loras Tyrell. Both were highly skilled fighters, but in the end Brienne won by relying on her sheer size to simply tackle Loras - who had been so fixated on blocking the weapon in her hand that he forgot to consider that she might simply try to charge him.[11]
Brienne fought with her helmet on, so the crowd would not mock her for being a woman and possibly deny her entry. King Renly then offered to reward Brienne with any gift that it was within his power to grant, to which Brienne requested that she might be named to Renly's Kingsguard so that she could continue to serve him. Despite a few murmurs from the crowd at the unprecedented decision to appoint a woman to the Kingsguard, Renly agreed and granted her request.[11]
Joffrey has a tourney on his nameday.
Noted tournaments in the history of Westeros include:
The great tourney at Ashford in the year of the Great Spring Sickness, when the king's heir died in a melee.
The great tourney at Whitewalls which served as the catalyst for the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, crushed by the king.
The tourney at Lannisport to celebrate Robert Baratheon's victory in the Greyjoy Rebellion. Ser Jorah Mormont was festooned with honors during the tournament.
The tourney at King's Landing, held to celebrate Joffrey's twelfth birthday. To the surprise of many of the spectators, Loras Tyrell won the tourney, having defeated Jaime Lannister. At that tourney Petyr Baelish lost a Valyrian steel dagger to Robert.
Tournaments are closely associated with knighthood, which is an Andal cultural institution, and are thus more common in southern Westeros than they are in the North or the Iron Islands. As in the TV series, dour Northerners such as Ned Stark see tournaments as frivolous, pointless mock fighting, when they should be more concerned with wildling raiding parties at their doorstep or the oncoming winter. That said, many Northerners do participate in southern jousts - Jory Cassel even took part in the Tourney of the Hand, though he ultimately lost to Lothor Brune. Jorah Mormont also partook in several major tournaments.
The tournament at Joffrey's nameday involved men mounted on horses, and did not take place on the city walls. Apparently the production team wanted to show off that, starting in Season 2, they began filming at the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik in Croatia - thus Sandor's opening fight on a castle wall with the ocean in the background could be filmed in real life, without the need for matte paintings (though a few of the larger towers behind Joffrey were added in post-production). Overall, Joffrey's nameday tournament highlighted just how little attention he was paying to the rebellions against him: at this point the Lannisters barely control the Westerlands, the Crownlands, and a strip of the southern Riverlands along the Gold Road connecting the two. Nonetheless, Joffrey expects them to come back into allegiance simply because he commands it, while waiting for his grandfather Tywin to deal with the problem. It turns out to be a very dull tournament, given that most soldiers have left the city to fight in the actual war which has begun.
As in the TV series, at the Tourney of the Hand Ser Loras Tyrell won the joust, but then awarded the victory to Sandor Clegane for saving his life from Gregor Clegane's rampage. The TV series did not mention that Anguy won the archery contest and Thoros of Myr won the melee contest. This is why they arrived in King's Landing, and were available when Ned Stark ordered Beric Dondarrion to lead out a group of able knights to bring Gregor Clegane to justice - soldiers who formed the original core of the Brotherhood Without Banners. Thus the connection might be lost on the TV audience that one of the reasons the Brotherhood is such a disproportionately capable fighting force is because so many of its initial members were elite fighters who came to the capital city to participate in the Tourney of the Hand. For example it might seem a bit contrived in the TV series that, as if by pure chance, the Brotherhood's lead archer Anguy just happens to be preternaturally skilled with a bow. The books actually do explain that he is a professional archer so skilled that he actively competes in tournaments, and indeed recently won first place at a royal-level archery tournament. Moreover, he doesn't just happen to be wandering in the Riverlands, but the rational reason was given that he was in the capital for a major tournament, before being sent out with Dondarrion.
The tournament was to celebrate Joffrey's thirteenth nameday in the books, but the TV series has been inconsistent about Joffrey's exact age. Most characters have been aged-up by two years for the TV series, but Tyrion makes an off-hand comment at one point in Season 3 that Joffrey is seventeen (to contrast with how Jaime was such a skilled swordsman at only seventeen that he was named to the Kingsguard).
Renly's tournament was actually held at Bitterbridge in the books, which is in the Reach. The TV series slightly condensed this plotline by moving Renly's mobile army camp to somewhere in the Stormlands, not too far from Storm's End. While the horses were removed in the TV version of Joffrey's thirteenth nameday tourney, even in the books there was no mounted combat at Renly's tournament. It consisted entirely of melee combat, and involved 116 knights. Brienne personally defeated at least ten named knights in single combat, the last of which was Ser Loras.
While Renly's tournament is a bit leisurely, it is not an outright frivolous action. Cersei mocks Renly for not immediately marching on the capital city, but Tyrion points out that Renly is doing exactly what he would in his place. Tyrion directly contrasts Renly's actions with Joffrey's. In Joffrey's case, his tournament is petulantly avoiding the outbreak of war, indeed ignoring it to pursue his own amusement, nor does his small tournament serve any purpose because most of the soldiers have already left the city anyway. In Renly's case, he is slowly advancing along the Roseroad, stopping at every keep to hold a feast or tournament bout, but this is a calculated tactic, meant as a recruitment tool to attract formidable knights from across the Reach and the Stormlands to his growing army.

Taking on the beautiful skyline in my final New York outfit post. This day was exceptionally cold but for the sake of the pictures and video I HAD to take off my peacoat. Now, seeing the outcome I'm really glad I did.
This is the only place in the entire state where you can get a cityscape view like this. Welcome to Brooklyn!
Seriously, how adorable is this outfit? If you're starting to plan out your holiday travel outfits I highly recommend a combo like this. The fabrics won't wrinkle, you can mix and match scarfs for completely different looks and if you needed to rock this look at night just pair some booties and you're out the door.
Where should we go next fam? I'm thinking somewhere with lots and lots of snow, how about you?


On the morning of Friday, October 12th, Rhode Island Center for the Book and Rhode Island Latino Arts (RILA) collaborated with Turnaround Arts Providence to bring Caldecott Honor artist and five-time Pura Belpré Award winner Yuyi Morales, who is currently touring to support her latest book, Dreamers, a celebration of what migrantes bring with them when they leave their homes.
In 1994, Morales left her home in Xalapa, Mexico and came to the US with her infant son. She left behind nearly everything she owned, but she didn't come empty-handed. Released on September 4th, 2018, Dreamers reflects upon the importance of literacy, the joys of libraries, and the value of finding safer spaces in a foreign land.
Morales shared her experiences and her art during her visit with first and second generation immigrant youth at Roger Williams Middle School. The RILA team provided teachers with 55 copies of Dreamers (in English) which were signed by Morales. Copies of her book will also be made available to the school library in both English and Spanish.

O Beiro Vinoteca – Many Special Camino Celebrations!
The Camino has brought many special people into my life and helped to create many wonderful memories. There is so much to celebrate about the CAMINO – the strength of our spirit to go on a new adventure, the greeting and meeting of people from so many cultures around the world sharing in special memories and creating new friendships. The release of old feelings and emotions as we step boldly into the NOW of our new beginnings and so much more.
For me I always enjoy finding a very special place in towns that I have visited around the world. Traveling mostly by myself I learned it is nice to go to a place that makes you feel at home and part of a family. One such place where I have celebrated my own camino journeys, as well as, sharing with other pilgrims in a celebratory toast is O Beiro Vinoteca. Pepe Beiro Martinez Alonso and his son Jose M Martinez Alonso and their compañeros are wonderful people and friends I look forward to seeing on every visit to Santiago de Compostela.
Pepe Beiro was born in the house that is now the vinoteca. It is a house full of history and you can feel tradition surrounding you from the wonderful traditional architecture, the sound of good conversation among pilgrims and friends, and of course you will enjoy the variety of delicious and interesting wines – always making you want to return again and again. Thank you Pepe, Jose and O Beiro Vinoteca compañeros for many special memories – I look forward to many more!
O Beiro Vinoteca is located in the Los Vinos (Streets of Wine) just down from the Cathedral and Plaza Platerias – Rua da Raiña, 3.

This Exception is present in my local PC, in my IIS server and even in an Azure APPservice .... in my IIS server I configured an SSL to where I have the WCF, but with SSL my WCF continues with the same problem and does not send response...
i was make a console application where i use the same library as my WCF Rest and in this there are no problems, the "response = JObject.Parse (WC.UploadString (new Uri (baseurl)," POST ", json));" Receive answer without problems .... recive a beautiful Json with the information of the id assigned to the request, time issued among other things, but this the only thing I need is the ID and from a ConsoleApp Everything works well ....
The Json of response is:
{
"id": "Error",
    "result":
 the exception mentioned above and the location in Line where the problem is located and this is where the WC.uploadstring is
}

Can someone help me with this problem?

A: Solution by OP.
It turns out that the server where the Rest service is hosted is not compatible with TLS1.0.
So I added this code before uploadstring and it works perfectly on my IIS server.

In the report, Scholz notes that the gig economy financializes resources that were previously outside of the market. Our cars, our apartments, our private time – all can now be monetized through corporate platforms and made subordinate to market forces. In effect, this new system is "embedding extractive processes into social interactions" and "extending the deregulated free market into previously private areas of our lives," writes Scholz.
It is not widely appreciated that a key element of the gig economy is to skirt the law if not overturn it. Illegality is a core element of the business model for companies like Uber, explains Scholz: First they ignore federal and state law for worker and consumer protections by creating a new kind of network-based marketplace relying on "independent contractors," not "employees." Then they invoke their growing customer base to persuade legislators that, as jobs-creators, they should not be subject to "archaic" regulations. Lobbying to thwart or roll back such protections is in fact a core element of the business strategies of Uber, Airbnb and Amazon.
3. reframing the ideas of innovation and efficiency with an eye on benefiting all, not just delivering profits to the few.
He proceeds to introduce many types of cooperative platforms and the ways that they could or do run. They include city-owned platforms such as the Munibnb, now under development in Seoul, South Korea, as an Airbnb-like platform. But instead of siphoning away money to investors and encouraging "ghost neighborhoods" rented out to tourists, Munibnb would use profits to fund public services and give apartment owners higher rental fees.
Scholz also describes "produser-owned platforms" in which users are the producers (hence "produsers"), so that sites for stock photography or streaming music, for example, could be owned and managed as coops. Another example: Unions could create their own virtual hiring halls and turn profits into social benefit.
Scholz proposes ten basic principles for the management of platform cooperatives. They focus on such matters as ownership, decent pay and income security, transparency and data portability, appreciation and acknowledgment, a protective legal framework, and portable worker protections and benefits. This vision clearly requires more to make it real, such as new forms of financing for coops, such as crowdequity and small investors.
The Platform Cooperativism report does a great job of outlining a compelling agenda for countering the "sharing economy" with workable, democratically owned alternatives. Of course, the big challenge that remains is actually building this cooperative social economy.

Canadian Kodak Ltd., which became Kodak Canada Inc. in 1979, manufactured photographic films, papers and equipment for over a century in Toronto, Ontario. The company formed the Canadian branch of the successful Eastman Kodak Company, and officially opened its doors in 1900 at 41 Colborne Street under the direction of John G. Palmer. The company expanded and moved to 588 King Street West in 1908, but already plans were underway for an expansive complex to the north of the city. In 1912, Canadian Kodak purchased 25 acres of farmland near Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue to build a major manufacturing facility known as Kodak Heights. By 1925, there were over 900 employees working in seven buildings at Kodak Heights. Over the years, the company earned a reputation for having a cooperative and supportive relationship with its employees, adopting many of the successful practices in place at Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York. In 1940, an Employee's Building was constructed to accommodate the activities of the flourishing Recreation Club, the Department Mangers' Club, and the Kodak Heights Camera Club. During the 1990s, the rise of digital media began to have a serious impact on manufacturing programs at Kodak facilities around the world, causing the Eastman Kodak Company to reduce its production of traditional print photography by one third globally. The company chose to focus on digital products, which did not require the extensive facilities used in the production of traditional photographic materials. On December 9, 2004, Kodak Canada Ltd. informed its employees that manufacturing operations in traditional film products would cease entirely at Kodak Heights. The company's facility faced the same fate as many of its foreign counterparts in England, Australia and France, being completely abandoned and demolished shortly after closure in 2005. Kodak Canada still maintains a sales and support office in downtown Toronto, while the manufacture of traditional photographic chemistry has returned to Rochester.

That Grape Juice Interviews Tweet
Published: Tuesday 3rd Jul 2012 by Rashad
Seven years.
Indeed, seven long years have passed since talented songstress Tweet blessed the industry with a new project. And while such a lengthy spell away from the limelight would dissolve the strongest of fanbases, it's made hers even more steadfast.
In this candid interview, the soulful stunner talks her hiatus, the state of R&B, compromising her sound, her new album, and much more. As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to.
Tweet Shouts Out That Grape Juice
[ti_audio media="82855″]
That Grape Juice: The last few years we've definitely seen you collaborating with artists like Syleena Johnson and Dresden Soul Symphony, but overall you've been out of the scene. What have you been up to?
Tweet: I kinda took a break from the industry. I wasn't really pleased with how I was being handled business-wise, so I had to take a break and get myself together spiritually. I felt my spirit was being broken and I thought it was more important for me to get my life together with Christ and everything else would fall into place.
In the midst of that, I was going to put out an album in 2007 or 2008, but it didn't work out. So, I was still actually working to try to get it out after a while. But aside from that, just being a mom to my daughter and now working hard to get this new project out.
So was there ever a specific incident that happened that made you know it was time for you to get back into the industry and get things moving again?
Well, yes. I have to give all the credit to the people who love the music – the fans and supporters. I couldn't go into a grocery store or any kind of mall without anyone coming up to me to tell me how much my music meant to them. And so I just thought to myself because music is such a passion of mine – I eat, sleep, and all that music – I couldn't really get away from it. And I think all of those incidents in total made me think this is really what I need to do. Just hearing all those stories.
And you know speaking of your fans and supporters, like That Grape Juice, "Tweet Tuesdays" have had all of us buzzing and excited for your next release 'Simply Tweet'. We're curious, why that title?
This time around I'm not doing it all on my own, but just not on the back of anybody else. When I say that, I mean not with the help of a Missy or a Tim, it's all Tweet. It's just me – as far as the lyric and the vocal, you're going to get me. I've stripped down everything and came up with the idea…it's just me. Straight to the point, no chaser.
And so you're confirming that we shouldn't expect any cameos from Missy or Timbaland on this album?
Not on this one, maybe the next one. I just felt like as a businesswoman it was time for me to step out on my own and do it by myself. Prove to myself that I could do it.
In that same spirit though, what collaborators should we expect from the production tip?
Not really. All of the producers that worked on 'Southern Hummingbird' and 'It's Me Again' are here, we just kept that routine and that formula. Nothing was broken, so we didn't try to fix it. I do also have a duet with my daughter on there. A lot of people have been missing me, so I didn't want to give them too many collaborations.
So aside from it just being you on the album, what separates this album from your last two?
Nothing really. Your'e still going to get pages out of my diary. Anything I'm going through, you're going to hear it. Nothing different lyrically, but vocally I think I am really stepping out and I'm not afraid to sing now. On 'Southern Hummingbird' I was holding back a bit or not sure of what I really wanted to do, very subtle. On this album, I'm really giving it to you and I'm comfortable with that. I'm comfortable with what I can do and that's the difference in this album.
Speaking of your daughter, we first heard her on 'Two of Us' ('It's Me Again' album) and now we can catch her on Youtube, are there any updates on her album?
We're working on that now. She's doing a gospel/rock or alternative gospel sounding project. It's coming soon and we are working with some gospel producers and it's pretty hot. I may throw a bonus of hers on my new album to showcase what to expect.
Awesome! And funny you mention gospel as many of your hardcore fans know you have a strong gospel background and you mentioned your break saw you grow spiritually. Do you see yourself ever pursuing the gospel route?
Actually, I thought that's what I would do first. Because,that's my lifestyle now. I think it may be one of the next few ones that I will do. It is definitely on my list of things to do.
Given your sound mixes gospel, soul, and even folk, we're curious to know who influences you musically? Who's on your IPOD?
#1 on my list is Marvin Gaye, hands down. D'Angelo, The Clark Sisters, Kiki Sheard, Kirk Franklin, and all the Gospel who's who. Mainly Marvin though.
As we speak on other genres, we know Tweet as having a very soulful, R&B sound. But given the status of R&B as of late, have you ever been pressured by labels to go the more "Pop" route?
Yes, that's what caused me to want to leave the business from the last album. When I first turned in 'It's Me Again', it was 'Southern Hummingbird' part 2 pretty much. Some of the songs I'm releasing from Tweet Tuesdays are leftovers from that album. When I turned it in, they wanted more Hip-Hop sounding records though. Not necessarily Pop, but just more Hip-Hop sounding records. When I disagreed, they kinda left me hanging. That was the last straw for me. I've been in that position, but never again! I will never compromise my sound for anybody.
We can't wait to hear the final project. Kind of switching gears here, sometime ago reports surfaced indicating you would be part of TV One's 'R&B divas' reality show (featuring Faith Evans, Keke Wyatt, and more). More recent reports leave your name off of the listing, however. As of today, what is the status of your work on that project?
It definitely was true that I was supposed to be a part of the cast. But, I decided to just focus on my music. I don't think it was a definite at the time it was announced that a station would pick it up. We hadn't even started taping yet. It was just in its first stages. So, I just decided to focus my energy into music.
Are you still open to the idea of reality TV?
Yes, but as it pertains to my music and how it comes from one place to another. But, not necessarily all in my business. But, behind the scenes stuff that fans don't know we go through in terms of how much or how long it takes to make an album.
With that out the window, what other plans do you have for 2012? Any acting or touring?
Definitely tour! I want to be on tour for the next 12 years (laughs). I want to be like Frankie Beverly & Maze and just continuously tour. Because I didn't get a chance to do that with the second album. The first album, a little bit. I want to give back to the supporters and fans. I also want to produce other artists and even movies and fashion. I want to do everything!
Thanks so much for your time. And before we let you go, given that you have so many fan favorites like 'Smoking Cigarettes', 'Taxi', and more, what is your favorite song of yours?
Wow! That's like asking a mom to pick her favorite child. You can't because they all mean so much to me. I don't have a favorite. It all depends on the day and what I'm going through. They're all my favorite!

After much agony, consideration, and research, I decided to clear coat the vintage steel fork from the 1940's/50's Mercier Meca Dural bicycle that I have been working on for the past year.
The fork had been spray painted gray by an amateur over what was rust and pitting on the fork blades. Purposefully to hide the damage? Unknown. Fortunately, steel is forgiving, to a point. I sanded off the paint and was saddened to see all the damage that could have been avoided had the painter sanded and cleaned the area first prior to painting.
But, after removing the majority of the rust and pitting, progressively using finer and finer sand paper, I had the fork ready for chrome-plating or painting. Then came the year-long search for the best plating company or painting company in the area to handle this job.
This is no ordinary fork. It is beautifully brazed, with a chrome fork crown and chrome drop outs. I believe the fork blades originally had been painted grey to match the grey color of the Meca Dural aluminum frame. The front spacing is 95 mm – consistent with front wheel hubs of that era, and the fork is very light in comparison to modern steel forks. I definitely wanted to give this fork the benefit of the doubt in terms of restoration.
But after investigating the process used to chrome-plate steel parts, and looking into various chrome-plating services, I was not convinced that fully chroming the fork was the best solution. I thought about sending the fork out to a reputable painter to have the blades painted grey again. However, shiny new paint would really detract from the look of this lovely and unique vintage bicycle. That's what led me to think about using a clear coat, at least for now, on this pretty fork, especially after my attempts at finding a suitable replacement fork had failed.
Thanks to many restorers and enthusiasts who have shared their experiences with clear coating steel frames (which is NOT recommended by most builders), I settled on the two key products I would need to finish this job: MAAS metal polish and ProtectaClear by Everbrite. By using the MAAS polish, after the final super fine sanding and clean-up, I will be able to avoid the acid neutralization process which is normally required prior to clear coating. This is because the MAAS polish does not contain acid.
I purchased professional art brushes to help with application of the paint. In the next post, I'll share the end result.

Hi Jim, this method might be very useful for any frame that has some paint damage. You can still keep the original look, but clear coat over the paint, so long as all the rusted areas are addressed. I might try this on my 1972 Mercian, which has compromised paint in some areas.
Thanks, Nola. I meant to say that my chrome fork blade has a small bit of corrosion that I'll likely leave alone as not visible really. The paint job on the frame though is pretty decent (for vintage Italian paint) with a couple of small blemishes mostly where chrome undercoat comes through. Since the frame paint has no rust, is a wax OK? Thanks again for your neat blog!
Yes. I think a couple coats of wax will do the trick.
Good point – there's no reason not to do an acid treatment before painting, even if not necessarily required. Now that I have used the MAAS product, I see that I will never use anything else – it is amazing.
I love that you are bucking the system for an alternative method. Our ilk gets stuck in major ruts sometimes, categorizing parts, brands, techniques, etc. with sometimes narrow windows of what is deemed acceptable. The technique of clear coating rarely comes up and it is too bad it doesn't more often. Yes, there are some concerns and more detailed steps that need to be taken but nothing good in life doesn't come without at least a little sacrifice.
I look forward to your results and will be watching this thread closely!
In this case, clear coating seems like a great solution. The frame itself is aluminum, so it can't rust, and it's a bike that I will store indoors due to its rarity.
I don't have any sources for 2 pac touch up paint. I use Testors paints for touch ups.

Massively successful in the '80s, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark epitomized that decade with sunny melodies, ambitious synth pop arrangements, and theatrical showmanship. Back together again for the first time since 1996, the iconic group turns pulsing, and infectious synth forms into pretty pop on their brand-new album The History Of Modern.
Listen to some of our favorite tracks like downtempo gems "Bondage Of Fate" and "Sometimes," plus a free download of a remix of "If You Want It."
Staying true to the original recording of "If You Want It," the remix by Marsheaux inspires some serious dance moves–it doesn't involve too much hip-shaking, just enough to get you to sway back and forth.

Grandson of Alfred the Great, arguably the first real King of England.
Æthelstan or Athelstan (Old English: Æþelstan, Æðelstān; c. 893/895 – 27 October 939) was King of the West Saxons from 924 to 927, and King of the English from 927 to 939. He was the son of King Edward the Elder and his first wife, Ecgwynn. Æthelstan's conquest in 927 of the last remaining Viking kingdom, York, made him the first ruler to control the whole of England, and he is regarded by historians as the first king of England.[a] He claimed the title of 'king of the English', and after the submission of Scottish and Welsh kings later in 927 even 'king of Britain'. Victory over Scottish and Viking forces at the Battle of Brunanburh in 937 confirmed his prestige. His reign had been overlooked and overshadowed by the achievements of his grandfather, Alfred the Great, but he is now considered one of the greatest kings of the West Saxon dynasty.
The view of the 12th century chronicler William of Malmesbury that "no one more just or more learned ever governed the kingdom" has been endorsed by modern historians. In the view of Frank Stenton: "In character and cast of mind he is the one West Saxon king who will bear comparison with Alfred." Simon Keynes agreed, writing that he "has long been regarded, with good reason, as a towering figure in the landscape of the tenth century...he has also been hailed as the first king of England, as a statesman of international standing, and as the one Anglo-Saxon ruler who will bear comparison with king Alfred the Great." Michael Wood regards Offa, Alfred and Æthelstan as the three greatest Anglo-Saxon kings.
His household was the centre of English learning during his reign, and he played an important role in continental politics, According to Frank Stenton "Between Offa and Cnut there is no English king who played so prominent or so sustained a part in the general affairs of Europe."

Tabak Ruthven
Voivode of Sarmizegetusa
Damek Ruthven was a voivode during the time of Dacia under the rule of King Decebalus, and the former landlord of the stronghold that would one night become Hunedoara Castle.
Biography Edit
Damek was the eldest childe of Lord Ruthven, and one of the most renowned genealogists and scholars of the history of clan Tzimisce. He was also a skilled koldun in the Spirit Ways and a noted Tzimisce warlord in his own right.
Inside his fortress-temple, he sat on a throne carved entirely of fused and reshaped bones, draped in thick, dark furs. The skulls of his defeated enemies ringed the dais on which that throne stood, and only a few of them were other than Cainite. The man himself was more than seven feet tall, clearly not the size he had been as a mortal man, but otherwise lacking any signs of obvious reshaping for he did not choose to present himself as entirely inhuman, either in beauty or repulsiveness.
Damek Ruthven was not Embraced in his youth. His face was high cheeked and his pale eyes deep set, lined with care and toil. The long, brown beard and the curls spilling over his shoulders were both liberally streaked with white and iron gray. His enormous hands were scarred and rough, his limbs knotted with muscle. He wore antique garments a cap of fur and felt, a long tunic that left his arms bare, baggy trousers and leather sandals, all without the slightest trace of ornamentation. He wore no jewelry or any other obvious signs of his status. The force of his personality filled the throne room with the awareness of his power more completely than any physical symbol could hope.
He maintained a number of settlements peopled with an extensive herd and numerous revenant servitors. Damek was fond of grooming brides; having a virgin girl-child instructed in her wifely duties into adulthood before turning her into a ghoul and then, on their wedding night, granting her the embrace.
He would then use her as a vassal and then discard her when another caught his eye. This habit, however, found an end centuries after jilting one of his more formidable and notable childe-brides, Danika Ruthven. Destroyed in the interminable internecine clan conflicts that plagued the Dark Medieval era, much of Damek's lands fell to Danika when she pledged her loyalty to those who vanquished him..
Damek Ruthven appears as the Voivode of Sarmizegetusa in the Dark Ages Clan Novel 13: Tzimisce. He is considered to be the most knowledgeable genealogist of the Clan Tzimisce, and secretly the protector of the torpid form of the Tzimisce Antediluvian. Providing this is taken as having a bearing on canon, this would indicate that Damek was still a power in Transylvania in AD 1232. This is evidenced by his obvious status as an honored elder of the clan and his control over the ruins of the ancient Dacian capital, which would have been a prize any Tzimisce warlord would crave.
