Lazy stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city's most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.Production Status: In Production/Awaiting ReleaseGenres: Action/Adventure and ComedyRelease Date: August 6th, 2008 (wide)MPAA Rating: R for pervasive language, drug use, sexual references and violence.Filming Locations: Los Angeles, California, USAProduced in: United StatesStarring: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Craig Robinson, James Remar, Joe Lo TruglioDirected by: David Gordon GreenProduced by: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Judd Apatow [ More Detail ]
"FLASHBACK," FEATURING THE MYSTIC ORCHESTRA, RE-ENVISIONS ROCK CONCERT LEGENDS' GREATEST MUSIC TO CREATE "THE CLASSIC ROCK EXPERIENCE"SAVANNAH, GA - John Lennon gave the marching orders long ago. Imagine. For his part, veteran concert promoter Rick Bowen imagined a rock concert like no other: Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd playing together on one stage. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and other legends performing with the benefit of today's state-of-the-art lighting and sound. The elusive tribal feeling, unique to classic rock concerts, recreated for a new generation.Imagine no more. "Flashback -- the Classic Rock Experience," featuring the Mystic Orchestra, is about to storm the concert arenas of America -- kicking off August 27 at the Civic Center in Mobile, Alabama (see below for complete itinerary).With its elite team of musicians, technical wizards and design specialists, "Flashback ---- the Classic Rock Experience," delivers anew the hit music of the all-time greatest artists: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and more, presented in a mind-boggling multi-media spectacle one must see to believe. "The intention is to present the music like it's never been presented before," says Bowen, founder of "Flashback -- the Classic Rock Experience," and its creative director. "I wanted to do it even better than done originally. We have the world's greatest players, who studied every move the classic bands ever made."With music director Frank Gilcken at the helm, the Mystic Orchestra features 14 brilliant rock musicians and singers, as well as an 11-piece string-and-horn section, together elevating classic rock to new heights. For the Mystic Orchestra core band, Gilcken recruited fellow guitarists Phil Hilborne and Jamie Humphries (veterans of the hit Queen retrospective "We Will Rock You" and the Australian Pink Floyd Show, respectively), keyboardist Brian Chatton (Phil Collins and Meatloaf), keyboard/woodwind player David Boruff (Madonna, Chicago) and Australian drummer Adam Troughear.Rocking the mics, Spanish vocalist Jose Manzano, Katrina Chester (star of the off-Broadway smash "Love, Janis"), Elizabeth Eagan and special guest vocalist Chuck Negron, formerly of Three Dog Night, back to sing that band's greatest hits and more.The nearly three-hour show reworks indelible songs of the most highly regarded era in rock: the Doors' "Light My Fire" and "Riders on the Storm." Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" and "Mercedes Benz." Jimi Hendrix masterpieces like "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady." Other rock classics include Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water," Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild," "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes, Rod Stewart's "Maggie May," as well as Three Dog Night's "One" and "Joy to the World," sung by Chuck Negron.The second half of the show offers something never before attempted in the rock 'n' roll universe: Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd playing together. All their greatest songs are featured, including Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love," "Kashmir" and "Stairway to Heaven," as well as Pink Floyd's "Money," "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2," "Wish You Were Here," "Comfortably Numb" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." This is a carefully crafted meeting of the titans - a loving vision of what might have been.Behind the scenes, Bowen assembled a world-class production team to mount "Flashback -- the Classic Rock Experience." They include promotions manager and founder of Rainbow Ticketmasters, Lou Dickstein; lighting designers Bryan Hartley and Phil Ealy; art designer Ed Unitsky; and sound mixer Seth Goldman. Collectively, these experts have worked with the top acts in rock ''n'' roll: Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Kiss, Elton John, Van Halen and David Bowie to name just a few.Great as the bands were in the '60's and early '70's, they were handicapped by primitive light and sound. For "Flashback -- the Classic Rock Experience," Bowen and his team have no such problems. Six truckloads of intelligent LED lighting, lasers, pyrotechnics, an overhead helium-filled zeppelin with two screens and five additional towering hi-def video screens are all backed up by an EAW Quad 225,000-watt surround sound system. Bowen is in a unique position to oversee "Flashback -- the Classic Rock Experience." A veteran producer/promoter of at least 1,500 concerts, Bowen has seen and worked with such immortals as the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, Elvis, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Three Dog Night, and Rod Stewart, to name a few. But he sees this project as the culmination of a life's work.Says Bowen, "These legends represent the best rock and pop music ever created. And all with an average tickets price under $40.00" Adding, "And if we do our job right, this re-creation will be a night to remember, a concert event and experience for multiple generations as we tour the nation."

Innuendo es el nombre de una famosa canción del grupo de rock británico Queen, y el primer track del disco homónimo. Pese a haber sido acreditada a toda la banda, la canción fue escrita principalmente por Freddie Mercury y Roger Taylor. Con sus 6:28 minutos de duración, esta es una de las canciones más largas del grupo. La canción fue primera en el ranking musical británico.Innuendo incluye un solo de guitarra flamenca a cargo de Steve Howe (el guitarrista de Yes) en forma de interludio. Este interludio trae reminiscencias al Queen de antaño y al heavy metal.Composición:Innuendo fue elaborado como un rompecabezas. El tema de hacer una canción reminiscente de un bolero comenzó en medio de una jam session entre May, Deacon y Taylor, a la cual Mercury agregó la melodía y parte de la letra (que después fue completada por Roger Taylor).Según comentarios de May a la Guitar Magazine en octubre de 1994, el ritmo medio pertenece a Mercury. Allí puede apreciarse el solo de guitarra, luego un puente de influencia clásica, y a continuación una vez más el solo pero con guitarra eléctrica. Esta sección es particularmente compleja, ya que sigue un patrón de tres compases en 5/4 (que no suele encontrarse en la música popular) seguido por cuatro compases en 4/4 (más frecuente).La sección "You can be anything you want to be" ("Tú puedes ser cualquier cosa que quieras ser") presenta una orquestación muy sofisticada, realizada por Mercury y el productor David Richards con el popular teclado/sintetizador Korg M1. Mercury había realizado arreglos para orquestas durante su carrera solista, y cerró el álbum previo de Queen con Was It All Worth It, que incluía un interludio al estilo de Gershwin también realizado en un sintetizador M1La participación de Steve Howe:Howe y Mercury eran amigos desde hace varios años, desde sus frecuentes encuentros en Townhouse Studios en Londres. Yes había estado grabando en Mountain Studios en 1978, poco antes que Queen los comprara, y el álbum debut de Asia (grupo al que también pertenecía Howe) había sido producido por el ingeniero de sonido de Queen, Mike Stone.Freddie Mercury reconoció a Steve Howe tan pronto como entró al estudio y (según el productor David Richards, que también había trabajado con Yes en el pasado) le pidió tocara un poco la guitarra. Otra versión afirma que fue Brian May quien le pidió tocase el ritmo flamenco. En una entrevista durante 1991, May admitió que él no podría haber tocado la parte que grabó Howe.Video promocional:Para acompañar al sencillo se creó un video musical muy elaborado que incorporaba figuras de plastilina similares al arte de la cubierta del álbum; las figuras eran animadas utilizando la técnica de stop-motion. Los miembros de la banda aparecen únicamente como ilustraciones e imágenes tomadas principalmente de videos anteriores de Queen (como por ejemplo The Miracle, Scandal, Breakthru, The Invisible Man y I Want It All), en la pantalla de cine que compone el decorado, Mercury aparece dibujado en el mismo estilo de Leonardo da Vinci, May en el estilo de los aguafuertes victorianos, Taylor en el estilo de Jackson Pollock y Deacon en el de Pablo Picasso. En el video también aparece un montaje de imágenes y fotografías históricas, y la compañía productora DoRo (que produjo todos los sencillos del álbum Innuendo) obtuvo un premio Monitor en la categoría "Mejor logro en un video musical".Un primer corte del video fue prohibido en las cadenas de televisión estadounidenses debido a que contenía imágenes de la Guerra del Golfo. Se lanzó un video alternativo (sin las imágenes en cuestión) que sí fue emitido en los Estados Unidos.Versión alternativa:Robert Plant interpretó la canción, junto con partes de Kashmir y Thank You (canciones de Led Zeppelin ambas), acompañando a los tres miembros sobrevivientes de Queen (May, Taylor y Deacon) en el Concierto en Tributo a Freddie Mercury de 1992 en el Estadio de Wembley. Sin embargo, la canción fue dejada de lado en el DVD Tributo a Freddie Mercury a pedido de Plant porque no había podido recordar la letra y, en consecuencia, no la había interpretado correctamente.La "versión explosiva" de la canción incluye un sonido similar al de una bomba atómica, luego que Mercury canta "til the end of time".Covers:Chris Daughtry, participante de American Idol, interpretó Innuendo en la "Noche de Queen" en abril de 2006.La banda de metal progresivo Queensrÿche también realizó un cover de la canción en su álbum de 2007 Take Cover.Posición en los distintos rankings musicales:N° 1 (Reino Unido: oro; Portugal; Sudáfrica) N° 3 (Suiza) N° 4 (Países Bajos) N° 5 (Alemania) N° 6 (Italia) N° 12 (Austria) N° 17 (Estados Unidos, Modern Rock Tracks) N° 27 (Australia) [ More Detail ]

Millions of words have been written about the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan in which thousands of people have lost their lives. Now comes a book with a hundred or so pictures that tells a story of its own. [...] Tony Allison, Asia Times Official Book Launch at The House of Commons and at The House of Lords, Westminster, London January 2003.Finalist at The British Book Design and Production Award 2003.Exhibition &Book Presentation at the European Parliament, Brussels 25th -- 28th April 2005.REVIEWS:"...I hope it will show people how beautiful Kashmir is, and how important it is to end the terrible violence and work for the only thing that matters: peace with justice."John Simpson CBE, BBC World"...The photographs are of an exceptional quality and the book will make an important contribution to the collections of the UNOG Library by illustrating the situation in Kashmir...."UNITED NATION OFFICE AT GENEVA LIBRARY"The Heart of Kashmir is a wonderful work, depicting a region disrupted by violence with its people living under the shadow of constant humiliation and suffering. It provides a perceptive insight into Kashmiri daily life."James Elles MEP, founder of the All Party Group on Kashmir in the European Parliament"...This extraordinary, rare collection of images focuses on the Indian side of the border -- but it is the story of the people who live there that matters." David Ransom, New Internationalist"... It is a beautiful book, and one that really captures the frustration, beauty and unrealised potential of Kashmir. The more the world sees of it, the easier it will be for people to understand Kashmir's plight." Randeep Ramesh, The Guardian"... Most moving and interesting.." Steve Anderson, ITV" ...This beautiful and moving book should be on the shelves of anybody who cares about the injustice of a divided and occupied Kashmir." Harold Stern, New World, UNA"...A sobering read and so many poignant and unforgettable images..." Sophie Poklewski Koziell, Resurgence Magazine"The problem with Kashmir is that its heart is cut in two. [...] Kash Gabriele Torsello's achievement at documenting life and death on both sides of the disputed border is remarkable..." Keith Wilson, Black &White Photography "Compassionate and objective, Kash captures the small pleasures of daily life amidst the pains wrought by a 50-year-old conflict foreshadowed by a military presence that features large in the background of his lens..."Gordon Miller, ei8ht photojournalism "... His lens captured every single human emotion spun out of fear, frustration and helplessness..." Bangla Mirror "...It is a book of pain, hope and engagement..." Victoria Schofield Author of Kashmir in Conflict ".... The book is an important contribution to the ongoing occupation of Kashmir...." Abdul Adil, The Muslim News A work like "The Heart of Kashmir" can only be created by someone who has deeply absorbed the ambiance of the theme, in this case the agony of the Kashmiri people. Mr. Torsello has done exactly that, with his heart and soul. The tone of the photographs is most appropriate. Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani"This book, unlike any other, forces us to confront the scale of the tragedy through the brilliantly striking photographs.The intimacy of detail brings out the poignancy and beauty of Kashmir. This book, a labor of love, must be read by anyone interested in one of the world's most beautiful and yet most dangerous places."Professor Akbar S.

Freely I have received freely I give lectures seminars or writing scripts for Films and documentaries. Please help me preach Gospel by informing your friends and relatives who are interested in these views that I can explain thoroughly. Gospel is very simple as ABC. Please visit Youtube for more of my Videos. Search under nijjhar Sikhism Christianity. Let us glorify our Father. Gospel Christ Jesus said would be known to one in thousand and two in ten thousands. Both would be solitary. In the East, it is one in ten millions. If you understand 50 per cent, then you are a man of spirit and for full understanding, we need to have face-to-face discussions. My lectures are FREE and I get paid by my Father in His Own Currency.The blind guides of the letters make most people to believe that Christ Jesus shall appear again but very unfortunately the qualities of Christ are not perceived by many of them. Christ cannot be perceived unless God blesses the person with Holy spirit, common sense called SURTI in Punjabi, to do so. You will be unbelievably surprised to know that the second anointed Christ came in India in the name of NANAK in 1469 and He has gone!!! Christ stands for the Royal Priest of our Royal Father God and in Panjabi, He is called a SATGURU, the Spiritual Preacher or DANDORCHI. So, we call SATGURU NANAK DEVJI as the Christ Nanak and His coming was predicted by Christ Jesus in Matt.24.27: For as the lightning cometh out of the East and shineth even unto the West; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. But why the anointed Christ first came in the Middle East and then in the East? This is because in the Dark Age opposite happens to the past enlightened Ages. For example, in the enlightened Age, YUG, in TRETA YUG, king Ravan of Sri Lanka, then known as Lanka, was a renowned PANDIT, Rabbi - Matt.13.52 - and he had made Lanka a heaven by establishing an excellent law and order but to-day, the same Lanka, secular is called Sri, Celestial, Lanka, i.e. highly spiritual, but instead of heaven, it is a living example of Hell. In the same way, in the Middle East king David and his people of Judah tribe were very religious people but to-day they are the most spiritually sick people of all who needed the Spiritual Doctor Christ Jesus the most. But they, Princes of Darkness, rather betrayed and killed Him. In India, the people of Khatri tribe are the most spiritually sick people of all and Christ Nanak took birth among them but again they hated, tortured and killed those Who carried on His Mantel. In fact, the Khatris especially of the Kashmir valley who became Mohammedans were the worst of all most powerful AL-DJMAAR AL-AKSAS, the Emperor of Darkness. Thus, in the past enlightened Ages the Prophets used to appear first in the East, India and then in the Middle East but in this Dark Age, the opposite was to be expected i.e. first the Christ came in the M.East and then in the East. So, the Gospels preached by Christ Jesus and Christ Nanak are the same but meant for the people of differing intellect and the Jerusalem Temple that was destroyed for ever in 70 A.D. has been replaced by the Golden Temple of Amritsar, which is, at present, highly infested by the Mammon worshippers. But why the people are in the Dark about these simple facts? Most people have the notion that the universities harbour highly intelligent theologians and, therefore, they just take their views as final. But this is not so as the university theologians are the most stupid and arrogant people that an ordinary working sensible person can come across. Universities can only teach letters whereas the New Testament or His Word is to be studied in Holy spirit, which is received in measures by the individual through the grace of God. God being Spirit, only the men of spirit, and not the people of flesh, can perceive Him through Gospel - Thomas Logo 114: Simon Peter, the only Labourer of flesh, said to them: Let Mary go out from among us, because women are not worthy of the Life. Jesus said: See, I shall lead her, so that I will make her male, that she too may become a living spirit, resembling you males. For every woman who makes herself male will enter the Royal Kingdom of God. This Parable is not an easy one to grasp as it is beyond the capabilities of the theologians of letters. [ More Detail ]
