DAME AGATHA CHRISTIE Quotes
*I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.
*Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
*Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend.
*I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest.
*I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.
*It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
*It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
*Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
*One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
*Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
*The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years.
*The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

NYFF: Abel Ferrara Directors Dialogue - YouTube
loaded on Oct 18, 2011
Bronx native Abel Ferrara directed his first low-budget feature in 1979 and, in the three decades since, has cemented his status as a legend of American independent filmmaking with his signature uncompromising portraits of men and women in conflict with their inner demons: Ms. 45, King of New York (NYFF '90), Bad Lieutenant.
As he comes to the New York Film Festival with his intimate end-of-the-world tale 4:44: Last Day On Earth, Ferrara will discuss the breadth of his remarkable career and his return to New York filmmaking after an extended stay in Europe.

Marco van Bassken - Minnie the Moocher [Max Farenthide Remix] - YouTube
Original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaZOXF83zBg
Original song by Cab Calloway, Brunswick Records, 1931. Calloway/Betty Boop vid - Fleischer Studios, 1932. Clips and pics shamelessly stolen from Kandee Johnson's Betty Boop tutorial (TIA KJ!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liKWO1-Gmic
From Wiki: In 1932, Calloway recorded the song for a Fleischer Studios Talkartoon short cartoon, also called Minnie the Moocher, starring Betty Boop and Bimbo. Calloway and his band provides most of the short's score, and appear in the short themselves in a live-action introduction. The thirty-second live-action segment is the earliest-known film footage of Calloway.
In the cartoon, Betty decides to run away from her harsh parents (to the tune of "Mean to Me"), and Bimbo comes with her. While walking away from home, Betty and Bimbo wind up in a spooky area, and hide in a hollow tree. A ghost walrus—whose gyrations were rotoscoped from footage of Calloway dancing—appears to them, and begins to sing "Minnie the Moocher", with many fellow ghosts following along. After singing the whole number, the ghosts chase Betty and Bimbo all the way back to Betty's home. While Betty is hiding under the covers of her bedsheets, her runaway note is torn up and the remaining letters read "Home Sweet Home".

Missourians - The Cotton Club Orchestra-1929
Uploaded on Jan 29, 2009
The Missourians played venues in the midwest in the early 1920s. By 1925, they had moved to New York to play at the Cotton Club under the name Andy Preer and the Cotton Club Orchestra.
The Missourians were a talented group but never tried to be a sophisticated New York band. After Preer died in 1927, the Cotton Club house orchestra gig was taken over by Duke Ellington
The Missourians gained their lasting fame as Cab Calloway's band. Cabell Calloway III had worked with the Missourians as early as 1928 and bought the band in 1930.
He changed the name of the band to Cab Calloway and His Orchestra and they returned to the Cotton Club as the house band once again.

Origami video: Origami Paper Crane Hanging Mobile
loaded on Jul 12, 2011
This is the largest hanging origami mobile I've made to date. It has 28 paper cranes made from 6x6 inch sheets of origami paper, and 3 larger cranes made from 9x9 inch sheets. There are three white cranes, and the others are in varying shades of blue and orange. The entire mobile measures roughly 4 feet across and 3.5 feet in height.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and see my art. Here you'll find many pictures of my handmade hanging origami mobiles. There is even a gallery page where you'll find video clips so you can see how the mobiles move, and get a better idea of what they're like. >
The mobiles are engineered so that each level is free to swivel a full 360 degrees with the slightest breeze - the origami seems to dance. Since a lot of mobiles are hung above cribs, I reinforce every connection so that nothing falls apart.
There is a page where you can order your very own Hanging Origami Mobile, or order one as a gift for a friend. These mobiles provide a great way to accent a room in your home, liven up an office, or decorate a child's bedroom. Babies are fascinated by the complexity of these mobiles and they way they move as well (see the Customized Mobiles gallery page for more information).
Take the time to browse, and even email me with any questions or comments you may have about my Hanging Origami Mobiles.
Do you want to learn how to make your own Origami Mobile? My book, Origami Mobiles, provides you with instructions to fold 30 models and make 7 Origami Mobiles. The book comes in a kit with the materials needed for you to make a couple of mobiles too.Origami Mobiles is now available in BARNES & NOBLE stores and through their website: www.BARNESandNOBLE.com
Here is a movie of my largest mobile to date, measuring 4' x 3.5' and with 28 large cranes:

Toot Blues - Southern Roots and Blues Music
Uploaded on Dec 2, 2010
In the late 1980s, Timothy Duffy, a penniless North Carolina musicology student, set out to document and preserve traditional southern roots and blues music. On his travels from Winston-Salem's drinkhouse music scene, an off-the-grid hotbed of gritty traditional blues, to deep-south family run churches, he found purpose and inspiration from a cast of amazingly talented, pure and unique set of characters (the artists!!).
Toot Blues remarkably captures the true essence and talent of the artists from Guitar Gabriel, a 'homeless magic potion selling' blues genius; to Willa Mae Buckner, a snake charming elderly woman taunting delightfully raunchy blues; to Beverly 'Guitar' Watkins, a grandmother who continues to tear up the stage and play a killer electric guitar behind her head; to Bishop Dready Manning and family churning out homebrewed rockabilly-gospel; to Boo Hanks, an 80 year-old bluesman recording an album for the very first time; to blind guitarist, Cootie Stark, mesmerizing crowds world-wide while never failing to find his way home by himself.
Shortly after befriending and championing for these artists Tim quickly realized the limitations set upon them by living in poverty, not only in their struggles to survive and support their families but also their ability to afford time and outlets to continue with their deepest passions-music, by a simple twist of fate, Tim along with his wife Denise, began the Music Maker Relief Foundation.
With rare footage, interviews, and numerous live performances, the film documents these unique musicians, brought together through the Music Maker community and their shared and vital musical heritage.

Frank Sinatra - Send in the Clowns
Uploaded on May 2, 2009
A Song by Frank Sinatra.
Written by : Sondheim
Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground - and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around - and one who can't move
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted - was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines - nobody there
Don't you love a farce; my fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns (there ought to be clowns)
Well maybe next year

Canned Heat - On The Road Again - YouTube
http://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23761&a=1842295&url=http%3A%2F%2F...
Der (Playback-) Auftritt von "On The Road Again" stammt aus dem Beat Club vom 14.09.1968.
In 1965, the blues- and boogie-rock band Canned Heat was formed in Los Angeles by guitar and harmonica player Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson and lead singer Bob "The Bear" Hite.
They took the name for the band from an old delta blues song called Canned Heat Blues written by Tommy Johnson in 1928. The worldwide hit On The Road Again is best known for Wilsons unique high-pitched vocals and famous for its harmonica solo.
Beside playing at all major festivals of the 60s Woodstock, Monterey Pop, Isle of Wight the band also travelled to Europe for concerts and TV appearances, e.g. the German Beat Club, where they performed the song in a lip-synched version.
Tragically, on September 3, 1970 Alan Wilson died of a barbiturate overdose which led to numerous line-up changes in the following years. But the band still plays on today in the fifth decade of their existence.
