Annie Leibovitz Day
Photographer Annie Leibovitz was born on October 2, 1949, in Westbury, Connecticut.In 1967, Leibovitz enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute, where (although initially studying painting) she developed a love for photography.
After living briefly on an Israeli kibbutz, Leibovitz returned to the U.S., in 1970, and applied for a job with the start-up rock music magazine Rolling Stone. Impressed with Leibovitz’s portfolio, editor Jann Wenner offered her a job as a staff photographer. Within two years, the 23-year-old Leibovitz was promoted to chief photographer—a title she would hold for the next 10 years. Her position with the magazine afforded her the opportunity to accompany the Rolling Stones band on their 1975 international tour.
While with Rolling Stone, Leibovitz developed her trademark technique, which involved the use of bold primary colors and surprising poses. Wenner has credited her with making many Rolling Stone covers collector’s items, most notably an issue that featured a nude John Lennon curled around his fully clothed wife, Yoko Ono. Taken on December 8, 1980, Leibovitz’s photo of the former Beatle was shot just hours before his death.
In 1983, Leibovitz left Rolling Stone and began working for the entertainment magazine Vanity Fair. With a wider array of subjects, Leibovitz’s photographs for Vanity Fair ranged from presidents to literary icons to teen heartthrobs. To date, a number of Vanity Fair covers have featured Leibovitz’s stunning—and often controversial—portraits of celebrities. Demi Moore (very pregnant and very nude) and Whoopi Goldberg (half-submerged in a bathtub of milk) are among the most remembered actresses to grace the cover in recent years. Known for her ability to make her sitters become physically involved in her work, one of Leibovitz’s most famous portraits is of the late artist Keith Haring, who painted himself like one of his canvases for the photo.
During the late 1980s, Leibovitz started to work on a number of high-profile advertising campaigns. The most notable was the American Express “Membership” campaign, for which her portraits of celebrity cardholders, like Elmore Leonard, Tom Selleck, and Luciano Pavarotti, earned her a 1987 Clio Award.
In 1991, Leibovitz’s collection of over 200 color and black-and-white photographs were exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Later that year, a book was published to accompany the show titled Photographs: Annie Leibovitz 1970-1990. In 1996, Leibovitz was chosen as the official photographer of the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. A compilation of her black-and-white portraits of American athletes, including Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson, were published in the book Olympic Portraits (1991)
Widely considered one of America’s best portrait photographers, Annie Leibovitz published the book Women (1999), which was accompanied by an essay by friend and novelist Susan Sontag. With its title subject matter, Leibovitz presented an array of female images from Supreme Court Justices to Vegas showgirls to coal miners and farmers. Currently, many of her original prints are housed in various galleries throughout the United States.
In 2005, the Brooklyn Museum of Art did a retrospective on her work entitled “Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990–2005.” As busy as ever, Annie Leibovitz continues to be in demand as portrait photographer, often capturing arresting images of today’s celebrities.
Annie Leibovitz is the mother of three children. At the age of 51, she had her daughter, Sarah. In 2005, her twin daughters, Susan and Samuelle, were born with the help of a surrogate mother.

Guinness Day
Arthur Guinness started brewing ales from 1759 in Leixlip, then at the St. James’s Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland. On 31 December he signed (up to) a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery.Ten years later on 19 May 1769 Guinness exported his ale for the first time, when six and a half barrels were shipped to England.
Guinness is sometimes believed to have originated the stout style of beer. However the first use of the word stout in relation to beer was in a letter in the Egerton Manuscript dated 1677,almost 50 years before Arthur Guinness was born. Arthur Guinness started selling the dark beer porter in 1778. The first Guinness beers to use the term were Single Stout and Double Stout in the 1840s.
The breweries pioneered several quality control efforts. The brewery hired the statistician William Sealy Gosset in 1899, who achieved lasting fame under the pseudonym “Student” for techniques developed for Guinness, particularly Student’s t-distribution and the even more commonly known Student’s t-test.
Guinness brewed their last porter in 1974.
Guinness acquired the Distillers Company in 1986.
The Company merged with Grand Metropolitan in 1997 to form Diageo plc.
The Guinness brewery in Park Royal, London closed in 2005. The production of all Guinness sold in the UK and Ireland was switched to St. James’s Gate Brewery Dublin.
Guinness has also been referred to as “Black Stuff” and as a “Pint of Plain” – referred to in the famous refrain of Flann O’Brien’s poem “The Workman’s Friend”: “A pint of plain is your only man.”
Guinness is a popular dry stout beer that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness at St. James’s Gate, Dublin. Guinness is based on the porter style that originated in London in the early 18th century and is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide.
A distinctive feature is the burnt flavour which is derived from the use of roasted barley. For many years a portion of the drink was aged to give a sharp lactic flavour, although Guinness has refused to confirm whether this still occurs. The thick creamy head is the result of the beer being mixed with nitrogen when being poured. It is popular with Irish people both in Ireland and abroad and, in spite of a decline in consumption over recent years, is the best-selling alcoholic drink of all time in Ireland where Guinness & Co. makes almost €2 billion annually.
The parent company has been headquartered in London since 1932 and was later merged with Grand Metropolitan plc and developed into a multi-national alcohol conglomerate named Diageo.

Artisti,dom’le,artisti
M-am saturat sa dau de texte greoaie, incarcate cu enjde mii de metafore ,fara sens , dar .. in “trend” . Nu mai exista, frate, semne de punctuatie .. decenta, continuitate, simplitate .. Nu, ne luam Dex-ul Doom-ul, luam o foaie de hartie, cautam cuvinte cat mai lungi,care sa sune cat mai “kinky” si pe care oricum nu le intelegem. Adunam vreo 60 de termeni, ii punem intr-o coloana si ne incepem “proza scurta”. Ca asa da bine.. e dă oameni inteligenti. Arunci 13 figuri de stil, 4 injuraturi , trimiti o paralelă la vreun nene pe nume Proust, Eliade, Dan Diaconescu Live ,Alba-ca-zapada, Tanti Mitza..Ca s-asa va e totuna. Si..pac, te-ai facut scriitor. Sau..te-ai facut ca scrii. Si cel mai important.. trebuie sa-ti postezi idiotenia pe un sait de creatii literare. Exista multe specii de “scriitori” pe saiturile astea de gen agoniapunctro, poeziepunctro, etc ..
1. Rebreanu de Berceni, care incearca sa aduca problematica ţărănească în centrul atenţiei lumii literare . Si ca sa fim originali, ca Ion e fumat deja.. aducem un Petrica si-l chinuim,il dam peste cap, il scremem pana ne iese cacatul praf.
Sustras de pe agoniapunctro si se numeste Petrică şi fraţii lui. Poftim fragment:
Petrică locuieşte pe o stradă cu mulţi salcâmi. Fratele lui preferă iaurtul cu fructe şi amândoi sunt roşcaţi.Ei au mame diferite. Una lucrează la o bancă privată, cealaltă tocmai a primit o scrisoare de la Oradea.(Asta e ocupatia ei? Pai,fie vorba intre noi,n-are prea multe de facut) . Este bine să ai un frigider, dar este şi mai bine să mergi la stomatolog însoţit de o persoană de încredere.Nuţica şi-a cumpărat un aragaz şi un cuptor. Când a ieşit din magazin, a dat o maşină peste ea şi a murit.
Mai urmeaza sa-l compari pe Ion cu Petrica..pamantul cu aragazul sau cuptorul..si ne-a iesit bâlciu`.
2. Don’soara de -?- ani ,inca la pubertate, care crede ca-i cool sa bei 4 bidoane de bere si sa ameninti ca te sinucizi.
O tentativă de câine trecu alene .Părea o pisică îmbrăcată în câine de la spate.[...] Probabil de asta nu mă vrea nimeni. Lumea e invidioasă…offf…ce invidioasă e lumea asta! Poate ar trebui să mă arunc în faţa metroului. Dacă tot eşti singur şi lumea e invidioasă… Ce dracu’ să faci? Păi, nu? Păcat că nu am o staţie de metrou aproape.
[Io zic sa nu mai astepti, mergi la metrou. Da ai grija sa o faci cum trebuie. Nu de alta,dar daca nu-ti reuseste, te bate ma-ta c-ai venit cu hainele murdare .]
3. Hipioata nostalgica,herbalista,feng-shuista,trecuta de treij de ani.
Ploaia m-a trezit cu blândeţe, ca întotdeauna.Ea e amanta mea fidelă. În parfumurile crude mă simt mai puternică. [...] Era o zi frumoasa de noiembrie.Poate chiar prea frumoasa pentru o zi de toamna..Soarele trandafiriu isi pierdea din stralucirea de asta vara,dar cu toate astea cerul era senin.Ma gandeam cu tristete specifica toamnei,la ploile reci care vor veni peste lanurile de porumb parca adormite.Iarba se uscase,florile ruginisera,singurele care ramasasera viu colorate erau legumele din gradini si fructele pomilor care te imbiau sa le mananci.Frunzele copacilor aurii,rugini,vinete si roscate se desprind de crengi si cad intr-un somn adanc.Toti arborii erau tristi deoarece toamna le luase hainele de imparati.Un popor intreg de pasari strabat vazduhul ca niste sageti.Se indrepta spre tarile calde,unde soarele e rege tot timpul.Harnicile furnici se grabesc spre musuroi cu provizi pentru iarna.Singurul care leneveste este greierasul care canta vesel fara sa se gandeasca la ce il asteapta.Oamenii isi pregatesc si ei hainele groase pentru iarna.Elevii au inceput scoala cu multa bucurie in sufletele lor calde.Desi toamna e superba,mie imi place mai mult vara,care din pacate a trecut ca lumina unei stele cazatoare.
[Asta da concluzie,pisi ) ]
4. Roackera răuţă - cuvinte dark puse deampulea si greseli de tastatura..ca doar..ni se rupe,nu?
Am un ochi ce adoarme ranjind ironic,privindu-va de la distanta,dar apropiindu-ne vizual.Vise imi curg pe retina amanara iar gandurile sinistre devin plcerile mele ascunse.Bine ati venit in “GLOBUL GROZEI”,destinatia urmatoare “MOARTEA”.Imi place de voi ca sunteti actori pe o scena nemuritoare dar profitoare.Va prefaceti dominati de emotii ,credeti ca plangeti de rani sufletesti dar defapt orgoliul va e atins.Pana la urma nu e vina voastra sunteti marionete fara vlaga.Nu-mi exhib sangele vorbirii ce picura din saliva mea ,stiu sa pastrez tacerea caci voi nu cunoasteti cheia intelegerii.Nu am dreptul sa va calc conceptele dar am dreptul la parere.Stima celor care nu sunt ca voi “victimelor” ,cei ce stiu sa puna pret pe versul inimii,pe scrisul sangelui si suflul originalitaii.Merg cu stratul de culoare pe langamine si in mine,trasparent e doar asfaltul tras la imprimanta…
5. “Paradoaxa” cu (crede ea) imaginatie bolnava dar..creativa.
Totul se sparge într-o realitate amăruie:…ceasul gîfîie cu privirea la fereastră, în spatele lui gramofonul cu pîlnie cenuşie avortează stări pline de poezie, tăcerea şi regretul din pieptul bibliotecii anunţă actul trei din ultima oră, dracul ridică receptorul telefonului cu o carte în mînă… zîmbeşte şi uită, iluziile se spulberă în paginile de istorie antică, schiţa unui tutu se dizolvă la mijlocul unei comedii triste, palma se odihneşte pe fruntea caldă a ceainicului, sensibilitatea timpului se scurge în inima somnului, privirea dă din umeri… îşi pune pălăria şi începe să rîdă, în sertarul de sus buzele palide ţipă: mi-e frig, mi-e foame, mi-e somn, umbrele se sinucid în acuarelă, paşii se mişcă în buzunarul clopotelor de tramvai, ochiul aprinde lampa şi citeşte:… Visul unei nopţi de iarnă.
Deci da. Mai multe exemple pe agoniapunctro,poeziepunctro s.a.m.d.
Ba, mie personal imi place proza scurta .. dar ce scrieti voi.. nu-i de calitate,nene .
Eu va spun un prietenesc ” muie” si apucati-va de facut fotografii.

La multi ani Catalinu`. You’re the best friend anyone can have, except when you piss me off. Love you and have a great birthday.
When you are sad,I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
When you are blue, I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile, I know you finally got laid. “Now wipe that smile from your face and tell me all about it!”
Si melodia care o sa-mi aminteasca mereu de tine,de anul II si multe altele din perioada aia.

Freddie Mercury’s Day – What do we celebrate today ?
Gifted with one of the most distinctive and powerful voices in all of rock music, Freddie Mercury was the lead singer of Queen and a driving force behind the band’s musical and visual style. He composed many of Queen’s signature songs including “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Somebody to Love”, and “We Are the Champions”.
Often described as “operatic”, his compositions include strong elements of harmony, layered vocal arrangements, and complex melodies. Freddie Mercury delivered his music with a stunning voice – he had more power, range, and control than any of his contemporaries.
Believing strongly in the importance of style and fashion, his artistic direction shaped much of Queen’s early image. He designed the initial Queen “Crest” logo – using the Zodiac signs for the four members of the band: The crest consisted of two lions (Leos for Roger and John Deacon), holding up a Q around a crown, a crab on top (Cancer for Brian May) , and two fairies (Virgo for himself). He applied this kind of creative sculpting to all aspects of his life.
As a live entertainer, Freddie Mercury was magnificent. He would feed from the crowd’s energy, amplifying and projecting it back to them. His 1985 performance at the massive multi-band “Live Aid” concert at Wembley Stadium is a perfect example of his stage prowess. With a super-charged Freddie playing maestro to the audience, Queen drove the crowd of 72,000 into a frenzy with a tight set that stole the show.
Reputed to have led a flamboyent and hedonistic lifestyle, he was also known to be generous and kind to the same extreme. His passing in 1991 was a great loss to the world of music, and in the next year the “Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert” was held in his honor.

Windows ‘95 – What do we celebrate today ?
August,24 , 1995 Microsoft releases Windows 95, and revolutionizes the PC world, with the introduction of the Start Menu.
Windows 95 was released with great fanfare, including a commercial featuring the Rolling Stones song “Start Me Up” (a reference to the Start button). It was widely reported that Microsoft paid the Rolling Stones between US$8 and US$14 million for the use of the song (from the 1981 album Tattoo You) in the 95 advertising campaign. According to sources at Microsoft, however, this was just a rumor spread by the Stones to increase their market value, and Microsoft actually paid a fraction of that amount.A 30-minute promotional video, labelled a “cyber sitcom”, featuring Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry, was also released to showcase the features of Windows 95. Microsoft’s US$300 million advertising campaign featured stories of people waiting in line outside stores to get a copy.
In the UK, the largest computer chain PC World received a large number of oversized Windows 95 boxes, posters and point of sale material, and many branches opened at midnight to sell the first copies of the product, although these customers were far fewer in number than publicity had suggested.[citation needed]
In the United States, the Empire State Building in New York City was lit to match the colors of the Windows logo. In Canada, a 300-foot banner was hung from the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. Copies of The Times were available for free in the United Kingdom where Microsoft paid for 1.5 million issues (twice the daily circulation at the time).
The release included a number of “Fun Stuff” items on the CD, including music videos of Edie Brickell’s “Good Times, Bad Times” and Weezer’s “Buddy Holly”.

Rastafari Movement – What do we celebrate today?
The Rastafari movement is a “messianic religio-political movement” that began in the Jamaican slums in the 1920s and 30s. The most famous Rastafari is Bob Marley, whose reggae music gained the Jamaican movement international recognition.
There is significant variation within the Rastafari movement and no formal organization. Some Rastafarians see Rasta more as a way of life than a religion. But uniting the diverse movement is belief in the divinity and/or messiahship of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, the influence of Jamaican culture, resistance of oppression, and pride in African heritage. The Rastafarian lifestyle usually includes ritual use of marijuana, avoidance of alcohol, the wearing of one’s hair in dreadlocks, and vegetarianism.
The fouder of the Rastafari Movement ,Marcus Garvey, was born on 17 of august 1887. So that’s why I’m writing this post today.He was a black Jamaican who led a “Back to Africa” movement. He taught that Africans are the true Israelites and have been exiled to Jamaica and other parts of the world as divine punishment.
Garvey encouraged pride in being black and worked to reverse the mindset of inferiority that centuries of enslavement had ingrained on the minds of blacks. Garvey is regarded as a second John the Baptist and famously prophesied in 1927, “Look to Africa, for there a king shall be crowned.”
Followers of the Rastafari movement are known as Rastafarians, Rastafaris, Rastas, or Ras Tafarians. The movement is named for Ras Tafari Makonnen, who was crowned Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia in 1930.Rastafaris dislike the term “Rastafarianism” because they reject the “isms and schisms” that characterize oppressive and corrupt white society. The movement is referred to as “the Rastafari movement,” “Rasta,” or “Rastafari.”
One of the most important figures in the history of the Rastafari movement is the reggae artist Bob Marley (1945-81). The son of a white father and black mother, Marley lived in the Kingston slums of Jamaica. He recorded his first singles in 1962, had his first internation hit with The Wailers’ album Catch A Fire in 1973. He had his first solo hit outside Jamaica with “No Woman, No Cry,” in 1975. Bob Marley became a Rastafari around 1966. He grew dreadlocks, adopted marijuana as a sacred sacrament, and is said to have begun every performance proclaiming the divinity of Jah Rastafari. His immense popularity as a musician brought both reggae and Rasta to international attention. Reggae music is intimately connected to Rastafari and its lyrics often speak of oppression, poverty, slavery, apartheid and human rights.
Marley was diagnosed with cancer in 1977 and he succumbed to the disease on May 11, 1981. Uprising (1980), Bob Marley’s final studio album, is one of his most religious works, including the tracks “Redemption Song” and “Forever Loving Jah.” A few months before his death, Bob Marley was baptized into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, a Christian faith that rejects the divinity of Haile Selassie. This has allowed both faiths to claim Marley as “their own.” Marley received a state funeral in Jamaica, which combined elements of Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafari. He was buried in a crypt near his birthplace with his Gibson Les Paul guitar, a soccer ball, a cannabis bud, and a Bible.
In 1996, the Rastafari movement worldwide was given consultative status by the United Nations. Today, there are approximately 1 million Rastafarians worldwide. There are official branches in England, Canada, the Caribbean islands and America, and members in many more countries.
And here’s a favourite of mine from Bob Marley.

Elvis Presley’s death – 32 years
Thirty-two years ago today, Ginger Alden — then a 21-year-old model with dark eyes, long auburn hair and a wide smile — awoke from a nap and, not immediately seeing her fiancee, knocked on his bathroom door.
Elvis Presley died Aug. 16, 1977. As fans commemorate the anniversary of his death, many see similarities with the recent drug overdose of Michael Jackson.
Opening the door, she found the man who seven months earlier had proposed marriage dead from an overdose — Elvis Presley. 
It was just after 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 16, 1977. The book that Elvis had taken into the bathroom four hours earlier, “The Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus,” lay opened at his feet. He was 42.
By 4:30 that afternoon, Elvis’ father, Vernon Presley, stood on the steps of the singer’s Memphis mansion, Graceland, and told the world: “My son is dead.”
“I remember an overwhelming sense of sadness, disbelief and feeling as if Graceland had also died,” Alden, now Ginger Leyser, told ABC News.com in an e-mail. “It was a complete, complete shock. Elvis was in a great mood and looking forward to going back on tour.”
“He had earlier told me that he had been off too long,” she wrote. “We had discussed wedding plans in the early morning hours after we went to the dentist. It was impossible to me that there would be a world and he not be there. That day a huge emptiness filled Graceland, Memphis, the world and my heart. It was an indescribable personal feeling of loss.”
