If Peter Jackson had decided New Zealand wasn't right for the evil realm of Mordor (forThe Lord of the Rings movies), he could've filmed here instead. The otherworldly landscape, with barren walls and spikes stabbing the dry air and evil crevices plunging into oblivion, was understandably named mako sica ('badland') by Native Americans.

Seth's Blog: Return on Design
:en:Seth Godin

A sense of design seem's to lacking in today's marketing effort's especially on the web - For years I have been fascinated by the Package that markets Alberto-Culver
V-05 it seems to have been around forever-http://www.albertovo5.com/
I think this has always been a well branded item- Even their Mission statement is well written -some one understands design and marketing

Millions of consumers daily turn to our TRESemmé, Nexxus, Alberto VO5, Soft & Beautiful, Motions, Just For Me, Consort and TCB brands to give their hair the style they desire. Our St. Ives and Noxzema skin care products are brands consumers trust for cleansing, moisturizing and protection. Brands like Mrs. Dash and Static Guard are familiar household staples.

YouTube - Joe Pass - All the Things You Are - Likaholix
Joe Pass
Joe Pass (via last.fm)
I have been also adding Music to my Likaholix page especially music by older Jazz Greats Likaholix Rocks and is so easy to use- Joe Pass recorded a series of albums during the 1960s for the Pacific Jazz label, including the early classics Catch Me, 12-String Guitar, For Django, and Simplicity. In 1963, Pass received Downbeat magazine's "New Star Award". Pass was also featured on Pacific Jazz recordings by Gerald Wilson, Bud Shank, and Les McCann. Pass toured with George Shearing in 1965. Mostly, however, during the 1960s he did TV and recording session work in Los Angeles.
He was a sideman with Louis Bellson, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Joe Williams, Della Reese, Johnny Mathis, and worked on TV shows including the The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The Merv Griffin Show, The Steve Allen Show, and others. In the early 1970s, Pass and guitarist Herb Ellis were performing together regularly at Donte's jazz club in Los Angeles. This collaboration led to Pass and Ellis recording the very first album on the new Concord Jazz label, entitled simply Jazz/Concord (#CJS-1), along with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jake Hanna. In the early 1970s, Pass also collaborated on a series of music books, and his Joe Pass Guitar Style (written with Bill Thrasher) is considered a leading improvisation textbook for students of jazz.
Norman Granz, the producer of Jazz at the Philharmonic and the founder of Verve Records signed Pass to Granz's new Pablo Records label in 1970. In 1974, Pass released his landmark solo album Virtuoso on Pablo Records. Also in 1974, Pablo Records released the album The Trio featuring Pass, Oscar Peterson, and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. At the Grammy Awards of 1975, The Trio won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Performance by a Group. As part of the Pablo Records "stable," Pass also recorded with Benny Carter, Milt Jackson, Herb Ellis, Zoot Sim

Global Neighbourhoods: Twitterville Notebook: Chris Brogan
Pistachio nuts in and out of the shell

Shel Israel is one of the best read's on the WWW
Yesterday I was accepted by Shel Israel as a follower on Facebook-Since Mr Israel is on of my favorite content creators and March 27 I will be 73 years old this is a very nice present-and this is a great article TWITTERVILLE NOTEBOOK: CHRIS BROGAN there is not a person publishing today with more people skills than Chris Brogan-
"Between all my various social media outlets, I now have 100% of my salary derived from inbound opportunities that have come from Twitter and my blog," he told me. It's probably not a coincidence, that in my interview with @Pistachio , she told me me almost exactly the same thing. She also said that Chris was her primary mentor.
Thanks Chris for giving me a great chapter. Thanks for adding the credibility of your name to the Twitterville chapter and thanks most for the contributions you keep making to the Twitterville community. Shel Israel March 03, 2009
