5/11/2023 0 Comments Button city soundtrack![]() Eli Janney from Girls Against Boys helped the band secure management and a lawyer. While they were interested in Universal, they chose to sign to Epitaph as they felt the contract was less restrictive and more honest. ![]() He attended four of their shows in Los Angeles that Pierre later regarded as among his worst, as his voice was poor from constant touring. Meanwhile, Brett Gurewitz, founder of Epitaph Records, learned of the band from members of the group Matchbook Romance. The band began receiving offers from various record labels, including Universal, Triple Crown Records, and Drive-Thru Records, and they performed at industry showcases. Initial copies were hand-packaged inside floppy disks, which were sold out of the back of their tour van for a year. They recorded much of their debut album, I Am the Movie, in ten days. After their first attempt at self-recording an album failed, the band culled together $6,000 to record with producer Ed Rose, best known for his work with the Get Up Kids. Johnson had never played the keyboard before but Cain taught him the parts that had already been written. Jesse Johnson, a friend and co-worker of Cain's, joined the band as keyboardist just three weeks before the band recorded their first album. Thaxton initially took about a year to convince to join the band. In late 2001, while touring in Milton, Pennsylvania with the band Submerge, they convinced two of its members-bassist Matthew Taylor and drummer Tony Thaxton-to join Motion City. Over the course of the early 2000s, the band continued to tour and shuffle through members. Their next two releases, both extended plays- Kids for America and Back to the Beat-were released the following year. The group's first release was a 7-inch single, "Promenade / Carolina", released in 1999. ![]() Through these, Cain and Pierre would often have to take over keyboard duties during shows. In its early years, the group went through several lineup changes. ![]() According to Cain, the members of the band soon realized that there "wasn't really anywhere to play in Minneapolis", and that they would have to "tour all the time" to rise in popularity. When they could get weeks off from their jobs, they would tour. Their early days were difficult, as they found it hard to break out of their local scene. The band's name was inspired by a defunct film project that was originally created by Cain's brother, Brian. He was subsequently in a band called Boxcar, and following its dissolution, he and Pierre founded Motion City Soundtrack together. Cain was in a group named the Saddest Girl Story, and recruited Pierre to join as a singer. Previously, the duo had separately played in a number of bands. Motion City Soundtrack was formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1997 by singer-songwriter Justin Courtney Pierre and guitarist Joshua Cain. The band was founded by guitarist Joshua Cain (left) and vocalist Justin Pierre (right). The group disbanded the following year, but they announced a reunion in 2019. Their most recent effort, Panic Stations, was released in 2015. They briefly signed to major label Columbia for My Dinosaur Life (2010), but rejoined Epitaph for Go in 2012. For many years, the band was a staple of the Warped Tour. Their commercial breakthrough, Commit This to Memory, arrived in 2005, and its follow-up Even If It Kills Me (2007) was similarly successful. I Am the Movie, the group's debut album, was released in 2003. The band was founded by Cain and Pierre, and it took several years to form a stable lineup. Pierre mainly handles the band's lyrics, which often touch on themes of anxiety, alienation, relationships, and self-destructive behavior. The band's sound, at times described as pop punk or emo, makes notable use of the Moog synthesizer. Over the course of their career, the group has toured heavily and released six studio albums, the majority on independent label Epitaph Records. The band's line-up consists of vocalist and guitarist Justin Courtney Pierre, lead guitarist Joshua Cain, keyboardist Jesse Johnson, bassist Matthew Taylor, and drummer Tony Thaxton. Motion City Soundtrack is an American rock band that formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1997.

Mammatus (or mamma clouds) - these clouds appear to be hanging, rounded protuberances or pouches on the underside of the cloud. Macroburst - A larger downburst affecting an area greater than 2.5 km in diameter. This signature is in the radar reflectivity field Doppler radar's velocity information can help confirm the presence of a tornado, especially when a hook echo exists in the reflectivity field. The updraft is the hollow portion of the hook (looks like a backwards "J" or a 6) and is where the tornado would most likely be found (if the storm were to produce one). The rain echo forms the hook pattern as air rotates around the strong updraft. Hook echo - A radar pattern sometimes observed in the southwest (right, rear) quadrant of a tornadic thunderstorm. Hail - Precipitation in the form of balls or clumps of ice. It is usually felt as a change to gusty cool winds and often precedes the thunderstorm's rain by several minutes. Gust front - the leading edge of the thunderstorm's downdraft of air as it spreads out away from the storm. It is associated with a rotating column of air that has condensed to form a cloud. It is most frequently associated with strong or severe thunderstorms.įunnel cloud - a funnel-shaped cloud extending from a towering cumulus or thunderstorm. The cloud line has roughly a stair-step appearance with the taller clouds adjacent to the parent cumulonimbus. It is most often accompanied by rain.įlanking line - A line of cumulus clouds connected to and extending outward from the most active portion of a parent cumulonimbus, usually found on the southwest (right, rear) side of a storm. Viewing the damage from the air does not reveal evidence of a twisting motion or convergence toward a central track, like it would for a tornado.ĭowndraft - A column of cool air that sinks toward the ground. It usually occurs near the leading edge of the storm or may occur in heavy rain. As the cloud and cloud droplets grow in size, the base will begin to gray.ĭownburst - A sudden rush of cool air toward ground that can impact with speeds greater than 70 mph and produce damage similar to that of a tornado. Tufts are rising columns of air condensing. With long-lasting thunderstorms, the anvil may spread more than 100 miles downwind.Ĭumulus cloud - a cauliflower-shaped cloud with a flat base and sharp edges. It usually has a fibrous or smooth appearance.

They're the parents and young fans of Berkner who will show up at Clarendon Presbyterian Church Friday and the Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick on Sunday with stuffed dinosaurs on their heads to dance to Berkner's song "We Are the Dinosaurs." They're the kind of parents who badgered record store owners in New York City to carry Berkner's first album and created the kind of buzz that no high-powered PR firm could even dream of producing.įolks in this area might not be as familiar with Berkner as those in New York City, where she got her start and still lives. Laurie Berkner has, um, Dino-heads? Or, as one parent described herself and other fanatics to Berkner last summer after her performance on NBC's "Today" show, "Laurie-heads."

Scheduled to street on November 2 for US$19.95, the two-disc set will include a copy of the movie and a new DVD-ROM program that lets consumers voice their favorite characters from the movie. Next up, Berkner says she is heading into talks with Scholastic about creating her own book series, and is also recording her fourth album for release next year.ĭreamWorks goes tech-crazy for Shrek’s DVD releaseĭreamWorks has upped the tech quotient for the DVD release of its hit distorted fairytale flick.

Fellow stars Sting and actor Ally Sheedy also hired Berkner to play parties for their kids. Early on, her zany, folk-tinged compositions about dinosaurs and eating caught the attention of many celebrities, initially landing her a gig to play a party for Madonna’s daughter Lourdes.

Privette has been identified as the officer who discharged a weapon. Police say they will be reviewing body camera footage from this shooting. "And let's remember to keep everybody involved in these types of incidents in our prayers." "Any loss of life is tragic and there's obviously families that need to be prayed for," said Executive Chief Slinkard. His identity is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. The man shot by a Houston police officer was transported to Ben Taub Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. “It never gets any easier,” Jones said, noting that the Houston Police Chief Troy Finner was not on the scene because he is in Washington for National Police Weekend, which will include adding the names of seven Houston officers who died in the line of duty to the National Law Enforcement Memorial."All of those things will be in a complete review of body-worn camera video and will be part of the ongoing investigation," said HPD Executive Chief Matt Slinkard. I hope for swift and quick justice for that individual because he ambushed my deputies,” Herman said. “We hope to have a suspect in custody soon. The prognosis for the deputy shot in the back was unknown, but Herman said should both of the injured survive, “this incident’s going to affect them for the rest of their lives.” “I’ve got a dad there, I’ve got a wife there, and they’ve got a deceased son and husband.” The incident is a “tough time for Precinct 4,” Herman told reporters Saturday morning. “There are a lot of unknowns at this point,” he said. One “person of interest” was detained at the scene, but Jones said it wasn’t yet clear if that person was a suspect or a witness. The third was shot in the foot and was awaiting surgery, said Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman. A second was shot in the back and was in surgery early Saturday. Jones said it wasn’t clear if they were able to return fire. ![]() “Turns out it may have been a robbery that they were intervening in,” he noted, adding the suspect is believed to be a young Hispanic male. The trio went outside to check a disturbance and were trying to detain a suspect when they were shot, Jones said. Saturday outside a nightclub on the North Freeway, Jones said. The Harris County deputies were working “police-related extra jobs” at the 44 North Bar and Lounge in northern Houston when the fatal incident unfolded around 2:15 a.m. “We believe they were ambushed, shot from behind,” said James Jones, executive assistant chief of the Houston Police Department. ![]() Texas robbery suspect out on bond arrested again after breaking into teen’s bedroomĪ Texas sheriff’s deputy working a second job was killed, and two colleagues hurt, in an apparent ambush outside of a Houston nightclub, officials said.

After choosing a profile, setting white balance, and applying lens profile corrections, I cropped the photo down to zoom in on the subject and improve the composition. Since it is raw, I want to do all the edits that can only be done on raw data before I move the photo out of LrC for specialized edits. I’m starting in a collection made for just this photo to more easily see any copies made as I progress. Copies are always added to the same folder as the source photo (unless you are using a plug-in that relies on the export dialog to get the job done as opposed to the Edit in menu). If you start with a collection selected, typically, copies sent to external editors (plug-ins) are also added to that collection as part of the process. This is so that you can find the iterative copies that will be made as you progress through your workflow. One of the first things I suggest doing is being conscious of whether you are starting in a folder view or within a collection view, and if a collection view, make sure it is a regular collection and that collection is selected (not its parent collection set). Let’s walk through the workflow steps for editing this photo of a cotton-top tamarin taken at the Boston Museum of Science at 4000 ISO. I want to use Topaz DeNoise AI to deal with the high ISO noise issue and I want to use Super Resolution in Camera Raw to resize the cropped version closer to the native pixel dimensions. Beyond the basic edits I’d do to all photos, I’ve identified a few problems I’d like to solve using additional software. Let’s look at an example workflow where I have a raw photo, taken at high ISO in poor lighting conditions, that I want to crop aggressively, and resize back to being close to the original pixel dimensions. Obviously, depending on the plug-in there will be differences, but the general workflow tends to be the same. Following on from last week (be sure to read that first), I want to wrap up this look at plug-in workflows with an example of what happens along the way. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Itheater movie![]() ![]() The most distressing consequence of this action will be the threat it brings to the livelihoods of the countless employees that help operate the theater chain’s sites around the globe. The Hollywood Reporter notes that the Cineworld Group’s net debt stood at an alarming $5 billion as of last July and the bankruptcy filing for Regal owner Cineworld shows the chain has yet to fully recover. ![]() Regal operates across 42 US states along with American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam and Saipan and the Cineworld subsidiary boasts over 6000 screens across 505 theatres, contributing massively to Cineworld’s global operation. Meanwhile, streaming services, although not without their own problems such as Netflix’s drop in subscriber numbers, continue to release a consistent slate of content.Ĭineworld has a colossal 751 cinemas across 10 countries including Regal Cinemas. Those films show that audiences’ appetite for cinema is still strong, there just isn’t enough content for them to consume in theatres, in part due to the delayed filming caused by the covid pandemic. “These lower levels of admissions are due to a limited film slate that is anticipated to continue until November 2022 and are expected to negatively impact trading and the Group’s liquidity position in the near term.” In short, despite massive hits like Top Gun: Maverickand Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, showing the aforementioned signs of a blockbuster resurgence, there still aren’t enough tentpole movies drawing audiences in. “Despite a gradual recovery of demand since re-opening in April 2021, recent admission levels have been below expectations,” the company said. Cinpolis USA Movie Theaters & Cinpolis Luxury Cinemas are proud to offer a premium movie going experience Watch the latest movies in style with our. The plan for Regal owner Cineworld to file for bankruptcy comes off the back of admission rates not being as high as the company was expecting after reopening last Spring. Given that moviegoers appear to be returning to cinemas in good numbers, thanks to the return of franchise blockbusters to the silver screen, the news that a chain as large as Cineworld is in such a dire situation shows that the world of moviegoing is still on the road to recovery. Deadline obtained a report from The Wall Street Journal confirming the Cineworld/Regal bankruptcy, with the London-based company said to have engaged in discussions with law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP and consultants AlixPartners to discuss how best to proceed. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Able batch image converterpptm, pptx) to jpg, bmp, gif, png, tif, wmf etc )ĭownload PowerPoint/PPT to Image Converter Batch convert powerpoint(.ppt.

The dramatic revamping of Fox’s lineup comes as the network has openly attempted to shift its on-air tone rightward and more opinion-focused-an apparent effort to retain its core conservative base and win back fleeing viewers angered by the network’s “straight news” coverage of Biden’s electoral victory and repeated debunking of the “stolen election” lies peddled by Trump and his allies, including some Fox stars. All demotions.” The only clear step up, the insider claimed, was for chief White House correspondent John Roberts, who will now co-host a two-hour news broadcast with Sandra Smith that, in part, replaces Perino’s hour. ![]() “Dana wasn’t rating,” a Fox News insider told The Daily Beast regarding the soon-to-be-former 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.) hours hit particularly hard, losing 39 percent of its viewership. Fox News experienced double-digit declines for every weekday show between the election and mid-December, with its daytime (9 a.m. MacCallum’s was far from the only weekday program to face post-election ratings struggles. “I don’t think anyone took Newsmax seriously until that.” “I think it scared them to their core when Greg Kelly beat Martha in the key demo,” a current Fox staffer said. And Newsmax’s ratings have indeed fallen back to earth after its two-week post-election surge. Of course, while much attention has been placed on Newsmax’s exponential post-election ratings growth, the network still only attracts a small fraction of Fox’s total audience. “The world changed for Fox the day they called Arizona and the question that remains is will the audience ever forgive the news people for doing it.” One person familiar with the matter suggested the pressure to revamp Fox’s programming came from above CEO Scott and network president Jay Wallace. Bottom feeders like Newsmax and OAN scrambled to accrue our disenfranchised viewers.” Then we called Arizona for Biden and everything changed. “Before the election, she was always number one. In fact, between Election Day and mid-December, The Story with Martha MacCallum’s ratings dropped 44 percent compared to pre-election while Kelly’s viewership in the same hour skyrocketed by 486 percent.Īnd while MacCallum’s ratings have been in freefall since the election-and Newsmax’s single-night victory capped her stunning decline-she was regularly getting beaten in both the demo and total viewership by her CNN and MSNBC counterparts before the election, per Nielsen numbers.Īs a result, network brass “clearly don’t think is strong enough to be part of the prestigious primetime lineup,” said a current staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity to speak freely about their current employer. Indeed, MacCallum appears to be at the center of the internal shake-up after rabidly pro-Trump Newsmax host Greg Kelly, a former Fox News personality, beat her on December 9 in the key ad demographic of viewers ages 25-54. “The rise of Newsmax TV has caused a major shake-up at Fox News with news today that early evening host Martha MacCallum has been demoted to early afternoons.” “The Fox is on the run,” Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy gloated in a statement following Fox’s announcement. ![]() Newsmax May Not Destroy Fox News, but Will Annoy the Shit Out of It But to network insiders who spoke with The Daily Beast, the moves signal a clear step down for several key anchors as the network experiences some ratings decline-the result of its election week on-air call to project President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of Arizona’s vote and a subsequent surge in ratings for Newsmax, the upstart right-wing cable outlet that has sought to lure Fox viewers away with its unabashedly alt-reality, pro-Trump coverage. ![]() Fox News emphasized that no anchor was demoted and MacCallum will continue co-anchoring all major political events. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Cindy cash and marty stuart![]() He was very approachable and greeted everyone with the same smile, and did not have an issue with being asked for an autograph or to have his photograph taken.
