Frank Auerbach is an artist whose work fascinates me. I drew this series of portraits last night and stopped at the last one. I'd quite like to paint it though I'm not sure the transfer from digital to paint would work. The first of the blue ones is most like his own style. The various guises are like conversations with the various artists who influence me, and that is an idea that I know Frank Auerbach shares. You're never alone when you are painting, you're deep in conversation or debate with all the other artists searching like you for the truth.
Hello Internet. I have been busy. I think it might be spring, or something. So again I will give you a medley of my latest produce.
Firstly though, I read in the The Week today that it is a myth that television can harm your eyes. So that is good. It comes from the early days of televisions when the sets actually emitted a small amount of radiation but tests done on modern children and modern sets show no damage. So ignore my last post. ALL WRONG.
Here is that painting I mentioned. It's from a drawing I did ages ago. I have also been priming some new canvases today which is exciting. Infinite possibilities! It's my mum, she's looking a bit more worried or is it suspect (?) than before.
I sent this reel on spec to a local animation studio. I don't know if the email will get through though or if they have any work to throw my way. It can't hurt to ask though.
Yes, well, you can see some of my process by the precursors, and I spend far too long trying to decide which I like better. It depends on scale of course and mood. It is a lot of fun and a recommend it to anyone to get free with their computer. I am beginning to realise it truly is a tool like any other; As valid as a paintbrush and far more versatile. The problem is scale. You draw it at one size but can zoom in and out at will, and how it would look as a piece of art depends completely on how it was printed. There would be another 20 permutations right there. (There are 20 permutations in my file for this. I saved you from them =). In a way it is a shame to put them next to each other because they inform your reading of them. If you saw them on their own for the first time about 1 or 2 meters wide, I think they'd be really quite different from one another despite being relatives.
If you'll indulge me further I now take you back to Thursday when I worked on this series called SW. I know this one should come first but chronology is not everything. To my mind these are a bit stronger than Saturdays'.
I love the two details above but this one below is the favourite I think. As you can see its pretty graph inspired which relates to my last post when I doddled some graphiti like shapes when on the train. I like graph, but it interests me more the way they draw the shapes rather than it being an actual word. It's the style that counts. I also like the way their fonts are politically subversive while being intrinsically likable. They are very good cartoons in their own genre. So many graph artists would blow most graphic designers (the generic crew not you frustrated artists of cool) out the water if they had the right connections etc.
Hum, So. I am sorry about this I hope you're not tired, but there is still some more work I did. I just like to share you know. Be glad I am not telling you everything that goes on in my life or listing my shopping wishlist or something. Some people manage to talk about such things and make it interesting so I will press on and hope my soul on screen is enough. Clearly souls are not for everyone though, especially not barefaced and cheeky ones. Boku Maru everyone. This last set is called Concrete levels. I drew some bricks and was surprised to find fairies living there.
You know what? I think it might be coffee. I started drinking coffee again. Its powerful stuff, especially if your body is a temple like mine... (what!?). So were you wondering if I'd forgotten about Catonip Towers? Of course not, with three cats to boss me around I haven't got a chance to forget! I have to go make the supper now. If you happen to like any of these pictures you could always ask me to get one printed nice and big on some archival paper(?) I found this very cool place in Dalston that does it very well. They printed a poster for me already so I would go there again for any requests. Clearly you have to come to me though - I am an artist I need the money. People forget.
1) I am updating Catonip Towers more than weekly, just as I draw them really, so go and look if you haven't.
2) I painted this today (a digital painting) it's called Red/Blue Day. I painted in oil yesterday as well but I haven't photographed it yet. Digital and oil painting is similar except I can work much more quickly on the computer and change colours and brushes without pausing so it becomes more instinctive - no time to think. But when painting in real life the physicality of it, the time it takes, the work - through your body not just your hands-brain is part of the outcome. They are closely related but the differences are also good for variety/exploring. This should be very large and viewed from far away... or small where you can peer in at it (like on a computer) you can enlarge by clicking on the image.
3) These are some doodles from a recent train journey. I like them and might use them for something more. But here they are for your eye tickles.
4) And finally, it's time for me to go to the optician. Now you know everything.
Just a little update to say I have posted a new installment of Catonip Towers, and also, you might remember my wittering on about Not wanting to draw the Birds cartoon in Black and White and stuff about lettering. Well in the end I did draw the Birds in Greyscale, despite having already done it in colour. It is very different in Black and White and in fact it taught me that monochrome has its own virtues and I went on since then to draw Hack which is all black and white, so I learned something good in the end. Anyway, the point is, if you are interested you can go look at the Birds in greys, and compare it to the colour version. Also different fonts. You wouldn't believe how many versions of everything I usually do. If I don't, I tend to feel like it isn't the best possible permutation, or at least I haven't made absolutely sure it is. I mean, it might be, sometimes you do land on it first time, but I like to be thorough. Ok enough now.
ps. I am always playing around with how best to present things. I have the scrolly thing which means you can read it and slide to the next page, or there's the gallery where you see all the pages at once and then get them page size if you click and can click to the next, or finally there's the in-page way which is where they are just laid out beneath each other, least exciting, so you have to scroll down to get to the latest one. I don't know which is best or easiest for reading. I vary it up a bit. Dow! Am I blogging about blogging? Oh no. Also Lawrence, if you're reading this, I hope you don't think because I am drawing my cats that I am not up for doing a webcomic, if you have one on the boil fling it over Scottish style. Don't they fling things up there? I guess its the mountains.
Do do do dooo dooo do doooo.
CATONIP TOWERS. A weekly webcomic (if I can control myself) about the three cats that live here in Catonip Towers where I am also allowed to live as long as I am good and only for a short time. Because I am so excited all the time apart from when I am not, I have ALREADY drawn the first episode: CATAPULT.
You can see Catapult on the Catonip page I have created especially for you. Enjoy the randomness that is Merlin comics.

Ottawa Senators Held Scoreless Again, Lose 3-0 to Columbus Blue Jackets
Matt Duchene is now on a winning team.
By Colin Cudmore@CudmoreColin Feb 22, 2019, 9:42pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Ottawa Senators Held Scoreless Again, Lose 3-0 to Columbus Blue Jackets
Sometimes it feels like the Ottawa Senators are never going to score again. This was certainly one of those times.
Matt Duchene was the centre of attention in this game, having been traded earlier in the day then facing his former team the same night. Mark Stone and Ryan Dzingel were once again healthy scratches for precautionary reasons, as they too are expected to be traded in the next few days. That's three incredible scorers gone, and it was certainly showing.
Sergei Bobrovsky got the shutout, but the Sens didn't make him work hard. They've now gone 125 minutes without scoring a goal, culminating in a 2-0 loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
If the Senators weren't shorthanded enough by the loss of Duchene, they found themselves in a load of penalty trouble in the first period. The first twelve minutes saw the Senators on the penalty kill four times, each one taken by a different rookie (Lajoie, Tkachuk, Jaros and White). While the Blue Jackets had some great chances, in particular with Duchene and Panarin each hitting the post, the penalty killers managed to make it through relatively unscathed.
It was after the fourth penalty expired that the Blue Jackets got on the board first, with Josh Anderson scoring his 22nd goal of the season. Pierre-Luc Dubois shook off Logan Brown in the corner, and fed a pass to Anderson whose one-timer went past Craig Anderson. Dubois' assist was the 100th point of his young career.
That was the only goal of the first period, with Ottawa not being able to convert on a late power-play.
The theme of penalties continued into the second period, but this time it was Ottawa with the man-advantage. The young players were given opportunities on the power play, at one point having Brown, Chlapik, Lajoie and Tkachuk all on the ice together.
It wasn't successful, to say the least. It reached power-kill levels at times, with the Blue Jackets getting better chances than Ottawa. Neither team would score in the second period, keeping it 1-0 'Lumbus after two.
Continuing the same trend into the the third period, Columbus went up 2-0 off of a shorthanded goal. Cam Atkinson was sprung on a breakaway following a broken play in the offensive zone, and lifted the puck over Anderson's shoulder for his 33rd of the season, doubling the Blue Jackets' lead.
That wasn't the end, unfortunately, as Oliver Bjorkstrand made it 3-0 with three minutes left. Chabot and Ceci couldn't control defensively, and Columbus converted on the two-on-one.
Then it was over. Finally.
Biggest Standouts
The Sens managed a nice video tribute for Matt Duchene given the time constraint. Overall the reception from the fans and teammates seemed warm, with Brady Tkachuk messing around with him as Brady Tkachuk does.
But to the fans that booed Duchene whenever he touched the puck... why? Sometimes I can't help but scratch my head. You didn't see that at all with DeMar DeRozan in Toronto.
As for Duchene himself, he seemed to fit in just fine, being immediately slotted on Jackets' first line. Playing with Cam Atkinson and Artemi Panarin is certainly a treat.
For some positive news: the Belleville Senators got a huge win, beating the Toronto Marlies 5-3 without Chlapik, Brown and Batherson in the lineup. The divisional rival Marlies currently hold the playoff spot Belleville is chasing (they could also pass Utica or Syracuse), now only two points out of 4th in the division. Their point streak is now up to fourteen game!
As for the rookies that Belleville was missing, they didn't really contribute much for Ottawa. Brown (6:24) and Batherson (8:16) had the lowest 5v5 ice times, although Chlapik was given more responsibility with 12:31. They were all given significant power play time, although that ended up being a flop.

Autumn 2018 marks 50 years of the Glyndebourne Tour.
With the creation of the Tour in 1968, Glyndebourne expanded from a summer Festival to a year-round operation. The company's pioneering education department followed 18 years later, in 1986, created initially to support the Tour's outreach programme. Today Glyndebourne is the third largest opera company in the UK as measured by total revenue.
In the past 50 years, the Glyndebourne Tour has: presented 71 different operas by 36 different composers visited 42 venues across the UK and 7 abroad performed to a total audience of over 2 million premiered 17 Glyndebourne productions staged six new commissions enabled 30,000 students to experience opera at a subsidised rate via Performances for Schools, which began in 2006 The driving force behind the Glyndebourne Tour was Sir George Christie, then Chairman of Glyndebourne, whose parents John Christie and Audrey Mildmay founded the Glyndebourne Festival in 1934.
His vision was to make the company's productions accessible to larger audiences and to champion new talent, aims he successfully achieved and that are still at the heart of the Tour today. Among the internationally acclaimed artists whose performances with Glyndebourne Tour helped establish their careers are Robin Ticciati, Gerald Finley, Emma Bell, Alfie Boe, Roberto Alagna, Edward Gardner and Kate Royal.
Glyndebourne established its own Touring identity immediately, with its innovative productions performed to exceptionally high standards.
All of Glyndebourne's activity, including the Tour, is underpinned by the success of the privately funded Glyndebourne Festival. It is Glyndebourne's financial independence that enables it to deliver the bold and adventurous programming on which its international reputation rests.
The Tour receives additional funding from Arts Council England, which also generously supports its education work.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, Glyndebourne is hosting a one-off celebratory concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on 4 December, starring some of the leading artists who have performed on the Tour. Performers will be confirmed shortly.
All proceeds from the event will be invested in the future of the Glyndebourne Tour and to continue Sir George Christie's original vision of reaching new audiences and supporting a new generation of artists.
A second celebration event will take place at Glyndebourne on 8 and 9 December. The Glyndebourne Christmas Concert will showcase the talents of the Glyndebourne Chorus and the Glyndebourne Tour Orchestra featuring operatic highlights, followed by festive favourites and carols for all.


Fran Lebowitz is one of those New Yorkers other New Yorkers innately know about. It happens that one day you wake up, and you know who Fran Lebowitz is. You know someone who knows her. You see her on the street. On your street. Or on Sixth Avenue and 50th on a cold Saturday night in January when you are the only two people who have decided to walk to their destinations. Based entirely on this general awareness, I tuned into HBO's Public Speaking to learn more about her. What I got was an earful. She has an opinion on everything and she's always spot-on. Always.
Fran Lebowitz might be one of the last great talkers in New York. Her honest, slightly acerbic, and witty social commentary can sometimes be found today in anonymous comments on blogs like Gawker, the occasional tweet from an observant human, and maybe a bit in these guys. There really isn't anyone as consistent or off-the-cuff as she is, especially live. Don't mention the political pundits to me. They don't say anything that doesn't first appear on the Teleprompter right in front of them. Democrats or Republicans.
Watch this. Learn from it/from her. Listen more. Observe more. Read more. Sharpen your social interaction skills. Put down the Blackberry, the iPhone, the iPad, etc. and live more in the moment. Look at how much of the world you're missing if you don't.
P.S. This great documentary was shot by my super-talented friend/D.P., Ellen Kuras.
I love SMITH Magazine. The creators of the six-word memoir (which became the NY Times bestseller, "Not Quite What I Was Planning") always have fascinating projects going on, on their website. They are the curators of stories. The SMITH tag line, Everyone has a story. What's yours? has become a bit of a mantra for me as I take the writing plunge into conducting more interviews, constructing narratives, and reporting on people & events. I could spend hours on the SMITH site reading people's stories, imagining their history beyond or behind their six-word memoirs, their moments, and their brushes with fame.
My friend, Susan Orlean, once told me a story about a piece she was doing for Esquire magazine. It was supposed to be an interview with Macaulay Culkin. There was already a headline in place: "The American Man, Age 10." Susan, fascinated by the title, went out on a limb and suggested instead of an interview with Culkin, she could write a piece on an average ten-year-old boy. She took a risk, flipped the narrative and got to tell the unique story of ten-year-old Colin Duffy. Colin did not have a movie to publicize, nor did he have a publicist, manager, acting career, press junkets or pre-coached sound bites. He had a story that was truly his own, not something drafted and filtered by a team of adults around him.
I always think of "The American Man, Age 10" when I read Smith Magazine. SMITH Magazine, like Susan, knows that the best (and most fascinating) stories come from the people we encounter every day. Whether it's six words or 6,000, everyone has a story. What's yours?

Mnet Finds Staff Member Who Spoiled 1st Rankings Of "Produce X 101" + Warns Of Strong Legal Action
Mnet's "Produce X 101" has found the person who released spoilers about the first rankings.
On June 16, Xportsnews reported that Mnet has found the person who released detailed spoilers about the first official rankings of the survival show. After the first rankings were filmed, a set of spoilers called the "Excel spoilers" was shared on an online community. The spoilers not only revealed the rankings of the top 60 contestants, but they also included details about their acceptance speeches and other special characteristics. When the episode of the rankings aired, people were shocked to learn that the spoilers were completely true.
The person who released the spoilers has now posted a handwritten apology after having their identity found by Mnet. The apology was posted with the title, "This is an apology for spoiling the first round of rankings for 'Produce X 101.'" The post reads as follows:
Hello. I was a staff member during the "Produce X 101" incident.
First, I would like to sincerely apologize to the production staff and contestants, who have suffered great damages due to my wrongdoing.
I made a very big mistake by posting the rankings from the first ranking ceremony of "Produce X 101," which was filmed at the CJ Ilsan studio on May 26, in the form of comments on this online café. I thought lightly of what results my actions would cause.
However, somebody collected screenshots of my comments, and an excel file of everything I said began spreading on various sites under the name "Excel Spoiler," and after I was contacted about this fact by the company, I realized what I had done and how serious the problem was.
Despite signing a written oath promising to not release any information, I did not properly follow the content of the written oath, and I did not follow the advice of my co-workers who always told me to never talk to anyone about the results that I was seeing during the show's recording. This is the result of my actions. I acted rashly. I have no excuses and this is my fault. I cannot turn back time, but if I were ever given the chance to go back, I would never repeat such a mistake again.
Once again, I wish to bow my head and sincerely apologize to the production staff, representatives, and contestants, who have suffered damages and were concerned by my actions. I am very sorry.
A source from Mnet stated, "In order to protect the rights of our viewers, we will continue to speak with our legal team and take strong action against those who spoil the content of our shows."
They also added, "Countless staff members put in a lot of effort to create one show, and we hope there will be no more spoilers as they ruin the hard work that goes into each project," and "The production staff will also be more cautious to ensure that no more spoilers are released."
"Produce X 101" airs every Friday at 11 p.m. KST.

Dà Mhìle is only the second distillery to bottle whisky in Wales, and with the launch of their single grain whisky, Wales now officially qualifies as a whisky-producing nation under European Union legislation.
Mark said "I was honoured to attend the launch of Dà Mhìle's first whisky and to be able to label some of the very first bottles. This is a big moment for Ceredigion, as well as for Wales, with the launch of this whisky giving our country official status as a whisky-producing nation.
"This is a fantastic example of a local business representing not only Ceredigion, but Wales as well, in the growing whisky industry. I am impressed that we are now officially recognised as a whisky-producing nation, and I am sure that this industry will continue to grow and go from strength to strength.


A Ranking member of Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs is calling on President Nana Akufo-Addo to intervene in a political standoff in neighboring Togo which has led at least two protesters dead and dozens injured.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who is Member of Parliament for North Tongu, says if Ghana does not mediate between the government of Togo and its opposition, the country will not be spared the consequences of a full-blown conflict.
He recounted the incidents of 2005 in which dozens of Togolese fled to Ghana after about 500 Togolese died in a violent protest.
The Ghanaian legislator made these remarks in an interview with Joy News after a weekend of violent protests in neighboring Togo.
At least two people died as thousands hit the streets in protest over the never ending rule of the Gnassingbe family.
The protesters want a restoration of the 1992 Constitution which prescribes a tenure of office of a sitting president.
If that constitution is restored, the rule by Faure Gnassingbe will at least be limited.
In what opposition elements have described as a rule by a dynasty, the Gnassingbe family has had 50 years controlling the spoils of power.
Gnassingbe Eyadema, who ruled for 38 years died on the throne in 2005 and his son Faure took over and has since been in power.
The opposition in Togo wants an end to the dynasty and has taken to the streets to demand same.
The protest was met with brute force by soldiers loyal to the ruling government leaving scores dead and dozens injured.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has described the incident as "unfortunate". He does not understand why a peaceful protest should degenerate into violence.
Even though official sources claim two people died there are reports the casualties are far more than that.
Okudzeto Ablakwa is afraid things may get out of hand and urged Ghana's president to intervene as quickly as possible with a mediation plan.
He also commended Ghanaian security men for keeping the protests by the Togolese nationals in Accra peaceful.

Night Shift: Mystery, Desolation
"Nighthawks" (1942), an oil on canvas by American artist Edward Hopper
The following piece appeared in Deadline, a publication of the Summer Program for Minority Journalists at the University of California at Berkeley, on September 5, 1980.
The night titillates. It frightens. And it soothes the voyagers who are swallowed by it.
The night belongs to those who work the graveyard shift.
Thomas T. Blaeser, 22, stands in a fluorescent booth at an Emeryville service station from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., collecting money from customers.
Chill cuts through the night air like a metal knife.
"There was a scene here – someone with a gun a month and a half ago," said Blaeser one recent night. "He was drinking. He was pretty drunk. A guy on the lot went to help this guy (the drunk) on the other side of the street.
"I'll blow you out," shouted the drunk man. The other man ran towards the door. I called the police. I can't open the door to someone who's asking," said Blaeser after he dropped the night's collection into a floor safe. "It's a very strict rule."
No one was arrested that night.
Although there is plenty of action late at night, there is also plenty of stillness.
"I get a lot of no reality to deal with, and quiet," said Blaeser. "I meditate and listen to the radio. When I get home, I have a nice breakfast and go to bed. Then I get up at 2, 3 in the afternoon. I go golfing or bowling."
Patrick H. Bass, 26, is the night manager and auditor of the Holiday Inn in Emeryville. He has worked the graveyard shift for five years.
Bass said, "I enjoy this shift. It's a different class of people. Normal people are asleep.
"There was a roller derby here one night. A large group of teenagers going too fast to count skated through here six months ago. They didn't want a room, so I didn't care.
"We have ladies trying to jump out of windows, hookers try to rob guests, guys run down the hall naked.
"Every once in a while, the elevator door opens and people come out in their underwear looking for a Coke machine."
At home after work, Bass unwinds by typing entries daily in his computerized diary for about five hours. He usually gets to bed about 11 a.m.
Sgt. Blondell E. Groseclose, 66, anti-hijack control officer at Oakland Airport, monitors travelers' possessions at the security checkpoint and scrutinizes the airport crowd.
"I get a few creeps in here, said Groseclose. "One drove up outside and dragged a woman into the men's restroom. Another creep was walking around with a pair of scissors (dangling) from his pants, eyeing a handback on a (sleeping) girl."
Groseclose said sometimes as many as 1,500 people pass through the checkpoint at night.
When he gets home, he walks his dog and then goes to bed.
Dr. Deborah L. Gould, 25, is a pediatric resident at Oalkand's Children's Hospital. She has been working 24-hour shifts every fourth day for two years. She works in the intensive care unit.
"I'm not working (this shift) because I want to work it," said Gould. "I like my nights to myself. But that's part of my training.
"Night is more dramatic than day because there's less support around you. It's hard when a kid dies in the middle of the night. That's the most dramatic thing – when a kid dies."
Gould talked about an 8-year-old boy with pulmonary problems who was her patient a few weeks ago.
"The child got really sick during the day, so we called the mother to spend time with him. We didn't know if he'd make it through the night.
"He didn't make it.
"How do you explain to the mother, 'Please come over to the bed and touch this child because he may not be alive five minutes from now?' she said, "Because I'd feel terrible if she didn't get to touch him, hold him.

Fife College's Kirkcaldy campus given new look thanks to one of its own students
By Craig Smith
October 3 2019, 8.09am
Niamh Hogwood
The front of Fife College's Kirkcaldy Campus has been given a new look, thanks to the efforts of a talented young design student.
Niamh Hogwood, 20, from Cardenden, won a student competition to come up with ideas to revamp the outside front area of the college earlier this year.
Students, staff and visitors can now enjoy a range of new external features including planting, lighting and social seating areas.
The works, which took place over the summer, have been completed by the college's estates team and contractor Marshall Construction.
Niamh, who graduated from her HND 3D design with interiors course last week at the St Bryce Kirk, said: "I'm really chuffed how the layout has turned out, the vibrant colours, which match the college logo, look great on the benches.
"We've even managed to create a space to showcase student artwork in the future which is brilliant.
"Knowing that what I have designed will remain part of the campus for many years to come for people to enjoy is an amazing feeling."
She said her studies had helped her get to grips with topics such as sustainability, architectural research and landscape drawing.
She hopes to land work in an architectural firm now she has graduated.
Sue Reekie, chief operating officer at Fife College, said she was thrilled one of the students had left her mark on the landscape.
"Thanks to Niamh's fantastic designs, the front of our Kirkcaldy Campus has been transformed from a concrete open area into an attractive social space with planting, walk ways and featured lighting," she said.
"Niamh has shown she has a great flair for landscape architecture and we are delighted that we have helped her on her journey to a promising career."
Derek Clarke, general building commercial director at Marshall Construction, said: "It is quite unusual for us to get a brief from a student. But the works at the front of the campus were a real pleasure to deliver.
"Niamh's designs made great use of the space and we hope students will be able to enjoy the area for many years to come."

American Idol 2011 Ratings Improving After Week 2
The big concern for American Idol 2011 was that once Simon Cowell had left the audience would too. Apparently that is not the case for the new season after all. Relative to past seasons, Idol ratings are actually doing better!
This past Wednesday's episode pulled in 25.2 million viewers and dropped only 5% from the season premiere episode (note: a drop in ratings from premiere episodes is normal and expected for all shows). Compare that to the year before when the second week's episode dropped 14%.
It gets better though for Thursday night's show. The second week dropped only 3% from the week before and brought in 22.2 million viewers. Wow.
So for all those who were predicting (maybe even hoping) the new season of American Idol would fizzle out and die, it's just not happening. For the rest of you, grab a golden ticket because this season is about to take off!
American Idol 2011: Auditions Head To Austin
Am glad about the ratings.Really excited for week 3. It just keeps getting better and better. And, as always, Thank you Matt for keeping us all informed. Enjoy all the updates. To Phyllis G., Angela, Sherry K and all my other AI friends….whoo hoo. "-)
Beverly Tinley says:
The ratings should be getting higher and higher every week. The judges are awesome, and the audition hopefuls are off the charts, as far as attendance, and talent! The folks (like me) who want Idol to continue, need to get on their phones, e-mails, facebooks, twitters and encourage other people to watch. Otherwise, Season 10 will be the last! If you can't watch every show, then set your TV to record. I think that still counts?
Good advise Beverly…. Also whoever the sponsors are it helps to buy the products. That helps a lot in keeping any show on the air.
Bianca G. says:
I love Molly – I hope she makes it through! I just saw she signed up for Twitter @mollydewolf
I am extremely happy with the 2011 judges. I think they all work well together. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Steven Tyler, he is amazing on the show !!!
Really? says:
Ya, you gotta love a 50 year old man making cat calls at under aged girls. At what point did this become acceptable ?
He's a man and a Rocker (i.e. Bad Boy)…What Steven does, says, whistles ect. is nothing comapired to what they will experience in the music industry…
It's a hard nasty buisness and they better get a tough skin now or they will never make it…
Whoo Hoo!!! Whoo Hoo!!! Love this year's AI. Pumped up for this week. Keep the comments coming…really like to hear other people's thoughts and to keep the excitement going. To all my wonderful Idol friends…Ya'll have a good one. 🙂
Rose A:
Your enthusiasm is contagious. I love reading your comments they are always positive and uplifting. With viewers like you the ratings should out do previous years.
Thanks for your elevating personality.
@ enyaface. Thank you. I was as adolescent counselor for years and THEY taught me a lot…not to take myself so seriously…be patient and to have a wonderful positive attitude. I learned from the best and love to see young people have the determination to forge ahead and make their dreams come true. Life is Good. 🙂
I'm with you Rose A.!! Like enyaface said, "your enthusiasm is contagious"!
Here's to this week!! Yes, Rose you will see me on FB!!
You are referring to FB as facebook? We should hookup on FB too!!!!! This is my email address..pjg162@aol.com…..Send me your email and then we can all hookup on FB too!!!! In Rose A. saying..Whoo Hoo….
Hi Phyllis…Just got home from seeing the precious one 🙂 Can't wait to see what this week's showcase will be like. As I said before….AI just keeps getting better and better. @ Phyllis, just sent you an e-mail…it may go to spam because it will not recognize the sender…from Rose A. rgcal58@yahoo.com. Have a good one. 🙂
@Phyllis, I will be sending you my email address this morning, I am not sure when you will receive it! My name for my email is different from Angela, but I will let you know it's me!
Hi Rose A., I will send you my email address as well, hope that's alright with you?
Yes, Angela…by all means. So looking forward to tomorrow night. Whoo Hoo !! (LOL) 🙂
I am thrilled about the ratings and I'm not surprised. I think the momentum is going to pick up as the season progresses and word of mouth will definitely bring back viewers and maybe new ones too…This has been such a surprise season. I felt the same way that with the loss of Simon the show would be doomed but thats not so….Its better than ever.
Hi to Rose A., Sherry K, Angela and all my AI friends..Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and looking forward to Wednesday….I am!!!!!!
Matt & Ashli Rae….thanks so much for the updates….Great info…
Hi Phyllis, I to, am glad that ratings are going up! Wednesday is always a treat for me, and I haven't been disappointed yet!!
I really like AI this season. The personal stories are good, the singers talented and the not so talented are at the least entertaining in a weird kind of way. What makes me laugh the most are those people that are clearly not singers and they get so upset when they are not picked. I mean really are they that clueless? It's obvious that a lot know they aren't singers but this is their 15 seconds of stardom. The ones that really think they can sing and can't need to have their meds changed, I'm mean seriously! I love the new judges too, what a big difference having people that are actual performer's critic these wanna be stars. Steven is a hoot with his Rock & Roll antics and Jennifer adds a touch of motherly class. She's learning to get tough too, have you noticed? Randy is the DAWG foundation and Ryan is well Ryan,a goofy little man with a great smile and a bit on the duh side. Gotta love him though. I'm looking forward to seeing who makes the final 24. I hope they decide on great all around talent. Not just because they are cute. In the past I feel they have over looked people that were really talented, for what ever reason they missed the mark. So I'm biting the bullet every week laughing and crying as we all trudge forward anticipating the rise to glory for the next American Idol.
Henry V says:
I'm glad Simon is gone. I'm in the absolute minority who didn't see his appeal and got tired of the witch act after 1 season. Didn't keep up with the show at all (didn't record it, watch it, buy it, download it…) until my curiosity brought me back to see the new judges and now I'm hooked! OMG, I can't wait for this week's ep!
Jagmar Kytten says:
That is so true-if people don't support/it could be the last season:( That is what happened, or so it seems, to Canadian Idol…and that was a shame. I love AI and did CI too…so much talent out there; it is awesome to see someone get the chance they might not other-wise have had… 🙂 Steve Tyler DOES "ROCK" lol & so do J-Lo, Randy & Ryan, too. I actually agreed with most of what Simon had to say, I just felt he could have softened his words-not crushed people. This Year is going to be a 10 year RATING 🙂
We love the new judges, it has breathed new life into the show. It was the best decision ever. Congrats!!!!!
Idol lost me last season…lots of mediocre talent sticking around long past their level of ability, while several potential superstars went home. I thought Simon would be missed, as his snarky comments were part of the draw. However, if his departure spawned the loss of Kara and Ellen, he did the show a huge favor as the end result is a better set of judges. In the end, though, it's still about the talent, and so far, the talent has exceeded anything we saw all of last year. I do wonder where these folks were last year…maybe they needed to see how blah the 2010 "top five" were to realize they had something better to offer. I just might watch some more idol this year after all.
i love ai was didnt think i would watch it any more after simmon left because i loved simmom but wow i think steve is great and j lo and randy he has always ben great keep up the good work ryan good job AI ROCKS
MaryJane says:
Okay – What did I miss? Why was there an apology at the beginning of the show last night?? What did Steven do last week???
I will be honest and I told my wife I would never watch AI once Simon was gone and they were bringing in Jennifer Lopez. I thought the show would tank.
Well I had to catch the premiere episode to watch how bad the show was going to be. Too my surprise I love the show and so does my wife. I don't miss Simon at all. Steven and Jennifer have added a breath of fresh air to the show and I think it is awesome. Steven is by fare the greatest addition though.
Can't wait for Hollywood week!
Doug…..My husband and I feel the exact same way. It brought him back to AI since the Adam L. season. Me, I'm just an Idol Junkie…..LOL
john c says:
I'm happy with the new judge lineup. It's working and it's only just begun. Only a competition as weak or worse than last season's can bring AI down now.
Cherokee Rose says:
Love, love, Love AI 2011. Steven Tyler is awesome! I really like him on the show. He always has to hit a note, and I smile every time someone sings bad and he falls on JJennifer's shoulder. I like Jennifer, she always seems amazed when someone sings badly. I also like the fact that she is ot afraid to cry when someone's singing touches her. Randy's laughing behind whatever he's holding is halarious. I like Ryan. He is the calm person who has to handle all the crying contestants when they are told no to Hollwood. I did not watch AI last season. I have not missed one, this season. Do not get rid of Steven! This 2011 AI is so enjoyable. I will be watching. I am now a Fan.
Sorry for the misspelled words. I am not the best typist.
Gracee says:
First of all I love the chemistry of the new panel of judges. I've never written before, but I must – because I have issue w/some things & would like to express my concerns. "American Idol" is a show shared & enjoyed by "families." The "F" word is well on it's way in our day to becoming an acceptable (because of desensitizing) word/slang. But, not to all. Family show executives are intruding & taking in their own hand's a place that should be respected as the parent's position – a private decision to censor what their family should/should not watch. "American Idol" is deemed a "family show." The other night w/the "apology" first, purposeful in gaining everyone's attention – then the surprise – "in your face" blatant & obvious "F" word that Stephen Tyler spewed out – was too much. Why is it that the "F" word – decided by the networks allowed to contribute to "marring the innocence" of children? It seems like flagrancy – for ratings. And the cost is pricey: children just to complete in the ratings game. The "bleeper" images that cover the mouths (judges & contestant) should be larger as to take away some of the "easily" understood profanity. The other night was over the top. Crude is still what it is – crude. I like Stephen Tyler. I love his heart, but the manner in which he has carried himself in Aerosmith/private life should be tempered for AI. There can be a fine line in what is decent and what is not. Attitude and motive can be weighed. Carelessness and deliberateness are pretty cut and dry. The show itself is – a great teacher – the audience too! A teacher is not perfect, but a teacher needs to have the best intentions for it's students. I'm just asking for the "Who's" that are in charge consider the families – those who practice censorship & that love American Idol – consider us as an essential & integral part of the viewing audience & ratings. There are a variety & diversity of singers as there is variety in those who view your show. I'll be tuning in next week. Comments? I still wanna be a fan!
This is Gracee again. Oops, wanted to clarify something. Near the end, I spoke of "The show itself being a great teacher…" (- the audience too!) I meant to say – TO the audience too.
In other words, it is a show that teaches us as the audience, too. We enjoy the competition and benefit from it as well.
Dianne says:
Interesting reading peoples positive views about AI. I looked for 20 minutes first night, and didn't like the line up of judges at all. Oh well each to there own likes. Haven't looked at it since. I liked the original AI.
Dianne…..I'm really sorry to hear that you didn't like the new AI.. I really think you should have given it a little more time because this is the best AI since the breakup of the original team. Everyone thought that Simon leaving was going to be the end for AI but if truth be told, the downfall of AI came when the show added Kara to the mix and then put a Mickey Mouse group of judges together. I truly liked Ellen but not as a judge and Kara, forgetaboutit. This group has so much chemistry and appeal that you should really give it another try…
@ Phyllis G. Hello, dear friend. I so agree with you. Simon was bored last year and it was so evident…Kara was just a complete disgrace…Ellen (whom I love dearly) was too much of a softy and Randy was Randy. Love the new judges. Looking forward to more of Hollywood Week. Hello to Sherry K, Angela, Kathy from PA and all my other AI friends. Have a good one. Whoo Hoo~!! 🙂
OK Phyllis, I will take another look,on your advice. The person I didn't like was Steven Tyler. Honestly I can't stand him. But maybe will check it out again. Thanks Phyllis.
Dianne…I am so glad you will give it another try. I wasn't too keen on Steven Tyler myself but he turned out to be a great additional to the panel. He has compassion for the contestants, something that Simon never had….. Please let me know how it turns out…Hopefully you will enjoy the show as much as most of us do on this blog…
Thanks Phyllis. Will give it another look.
jeniifer lopez and steve tyler are responsible for the ratings going higher they seemed to bring new life to the show.

In The Recent Year, Travelling Is Becoming More Popular

In the recent year, travelling is becoming more popular in Thailand because of the opportunity to experience new things, learn new cultures and people and relax both soul and mind (AirTreks International, LLC n.d.). Moreover, each government has promotional strategies to encourage and respond the visitors' needs within the limited resource. In Korea, the government has the policy to support the entertainment industry to stimulate the economy (Berg 2014).

Therefore, this research could provide guidelines and suggestions for the Korean government and Korean films & series' producers to increase the number of travelers not only from Thailand but also from neighbor countries. The objectives 1.	To identify what are the factors in Korean films & series, that attract Thai people to visit Korea. 2.	To understand why Korea became a popular travel destination for Thai people. 3.	To recommend marketing strategies in Korean films & series to encourage return of Thai visitors. Literature reviews 1.	Korean films& series are an encouragement for Thai people to visit Korea. According to Lee and Yoo (2011), dramas or movies would induce an increase in tourism because they provide the best locations in the country to the audience. Thus, movies and TV dramas are the most effectively way of advertisement. By reaching out to the audience interested in landscapes and environment, Korean films & series may motivate them to travel. Moreover, the research illustrates that the Korean popular culture had an increased presence in television dramas, movies and pop songs all over the Asian country. Among the influences of Korean dramas and movies, are language and traveling. For instance, at Inlingua School of Language in Singapore, the number of students learning Korean increased by 60% in 2003, compared to 2001. Moreover, some travel agencies sold the television drama- themed group tours to Korea using

Fox Meadows Software (FMS) makes the electronic medical records and practice management software, Intelligent Medical Software (IMS) Suite — formerly known as SuiteMed. Founded in 1994 and located in South Carolina, USA, Fox Meadows Software's first product was designed as a simple practice management solution. Since that time, FMS has sought input from the thousands of physicians, office managers, and billing consultants who have used the system and leveraged their suggestions to develop the IMS platform into the robust medical software solution that it is today.
Fox Meadows' IMS, in addition to standard EHR/PM functionality, includes innovative solutions for managing clinical workflows; the IMS practice management system utilizes a task management interface, similar to task management systems in project management software, to allow easy planning of patient encounters, billing procedures, and day-to-day operations. Also, Fox Meadows' IMS offers a form creation tool, allowing providers to quickly and easily generate referral letters, consults, and other forms that will auto-populate with relevant information. Additionally, the IMS EHR supports barcodes for medications, dispensing, and inventory management.
Fox Meadows Software is so confident they can help your practice meet Meaningful Use Incentive Program requirements with IMS that they offer a money-back guarantee; as IMS is only certified for 2011 standards at the time of the last update noted on this page, providers using Fox Meadows' IMS who are attesting for Stage 2 of the Meaningful Use program in 2015 may put that guarantee to the test.
Fox Meadows does offer a discount on their EHR/PM suite to practices that choose to utilize their outsourced medical billing services.
