Do you like the name Elliott Samuel Graham?

And I was thinking if he didn't like the name Elliott, he could go by Eli or Sam, whichever.
What do you think?

I like this name for a little boy, personally I tried to give names you couldn't shorten. This is very cute and resonably unique.

i love it (:

I prefer Samuel Elliot Graham.
Generally I think Samuel is a lovely name and it appears on my forever changing favourite name list it's lovely and I love the nickname Sam I know a little African boy with this name and he is lovely, charming boy. Elliot I'm not keen on it has never appealed to me. Meaning that I prefer Samuel Elliot Graham.
Hope this helped!

I like the first with the last, but not a fan of the Samuel in the middle.

Is Graham the surname? I like Elliott and I love the name Samuel. And I like that he has options.

Perfect. I love it.

Leslie Nielsen Passes Away at 84

Leslie Nielsen, an actor who starred in some of the funniest movies ever made, has passed away from complications related to pneumonia. He was 84.

Best known for his deadpan delivery of ridiculous lines, Nielsen anchored such films as Airplane! and the Naked Gun. His agent confirmed that he died near his home in Fort Lauderdale early Sunday evening, in the company of his “lovely wife and friends.”

Leslie Nielsen Remembered

Said nephew Doug Nielsen of his uncle, who had been hospitalized for nearly two weeks prior to his passing:

“Just in this last 48 hours, the infection has gotten too much. He just fell asleep and passed away.”

In Nielsen’s honor, we encourage readers to submit their favorite movies quotes from the actor. We’ll begin:

Frank: It’s the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day.Jane: Goodyear?Frank: No, the worst.

Jackson cashes in on his carries

More carries would equal more production.

Bills running back Fred Jackson stood by that sentiment this season, even when he was getting lost in the positional shuffle.

Now, with 249 yards on 46 carries in the past two games, the man they call "Freddie J" in the Bills’ locker room is proving he was onto something.

"It’s nice to have a guy you can depend on back there," Bills coach Chan Gailey said. "That’s the one thing from Fred, you can depend on [him]. if he’s physically able, he’s mentally going to be into the ballgame and he is going to do what he can do to help your football team win. That’s a huge load off of our mind when you’ve got a guy like that, that you can depend on that way."

That didn’t appear to be the case at the start of the season, when the Bills were trying to juggle carries among three different backs. Jackson got just 20 carries in the first month. the Bills used since-traded Marshawn Lynch as the featured back for a couple of games and otherwise struggled to get a running game going in others.

After Lynch was shipped to Seattle, however, Jackson was reinstalled as the starter, a spot he earned last year with his first career 1,000-yard campaign. His workload saw even more of a boost when rookie C.J. Spiller went down with a hamstring injury two weeks ago against Detroit.

"It’s definitely tough to get three running backs involved. It’s a lot easier to do two," Jackson said.

"Getting more touches, I think, is going to help any running back be able to put up some more numbers. the more touches you get the better you get in the game. [That] is how I’ve always felt about playing."

Jackson’s 116 yards and two touchdowns were almost lost Sunday after the air show quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and receiver Stevie Johnson put on. But a successful offense, especially one in the approaching Buffalo winter, will need the threat of a run game. That’s a threat Jackson, who has a career 4.5 yards per carry average — has provided in recent weeks.

"the biggest thing with [Jackson] is you just keep feeding him the ball because you know, at some point — even though he makes four or five guys bring him down on every play — he’s going to break one of those 20- or 30-yard runs," Fitzpatrick said. "He’s had a couple in [the] last few games.

"I can’t say enough about him. He’s been impressive. Everybody knew that he was a guy that we could really lean on. We leaned on him last year and we’ll continue to do so towards the end of the season here."

The challenge for Jackson and the Bills’ running game gets substantially more difficult in the next two weeks. Buffalo’s next opponents — Pittsburgh and Minnesota — rank first and seventh against the rush.

‘We always knew him as a funny guy’

For many around the world, Leslie Nielsen was perhaps best known as Lt. Frank Drebin in the Naked Gun movies or any other number of characters he played during an acting career that spanned half a century.

And while many are mourning Sunday's death of the 84-year-old actor, Yukoner Rick Nielsen is saying farewell to "Uncle Les".

"He'll be sadly missed," Rick said in an interview this morning as he recalled the visits his uncle made to see his father, Erik, and other members of the family.

Leslie died of complications from pneumonia in Florida.

Leslie got to know a number of Yukoners during his visits here and had a number of friends here, Rick said.

He recalled the rest of world knowing his uncle for the serious roles he would take on in films that included the Forbidden Planet and the Poseidon Adventure, among others.

The family, though, knew a very different side to Leslie.

"We always knew him as a funny guy," Rick said.

Though his uncle didn't visit all that regularly, those visits were memorable, with the family spending time at the cabin of Rick's dad on Quiet Lake, as well as Whitehorse. Erik, the former Yukon MP and deputy prime minister, died in September 2008.

One of the Rick's favourite memories of his uncle was the discussion long into the evening he and his friends had after Leslie made a speech at Rick's graduation from F.H. Collins Secondary School.

On another visit, Rick recalled, his uncle was carrying around a "little rubber fart machine."

Only Erik knew about the machine when they went out to dinner with some friends, including a doctor. as the evening went on, every so often Leslie would contort his face a little and a noise from the machine would soon follow.

Everyone at the table politely ignored the noise, until finally the doctor looked at him "very matter of factly" and told him there were things they could do to help him deal with the flatulence.

It was in the 1980s that Leslie moved into the comedic world with his role on Airplane!, and it was there, Rick said, that his uncle seemed to find the roles he was best suited for.

It was the spoof of the Airport series of disaster movies that had Leslie saying the line he was perhaps most famous for when an airline passenger says to him, "Surely you can't be serious."

He replies: "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

He would go on to star in numerous comedies from the Naked Gun movies to appearances in the Scary Movie franchise to Spy Hard.

And while he's best known as an actor, Rick said in their younger years, the family thought he'd be more likely to pursue a career in politics while Erik was thought more likely to get the acting bug.

"Along came a war, and things changed," Rick said.

After joining the Royal Canadian Air Force at the age of 17 in 1943, Leslie returned to Canada, attending Lorne Green's broadcasting school in Toronto.

"That's what got him started," Rick said.

A scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse took him to new York, where he soon got immersed in live television.

Leslie's last trip to Canada took him to Fort Norman, N.W.T., where he and his two brothers Gord (who passed away a number of years ago) and Erik spent their early years, his father serving as an RCMP officer there.

There was no time during that trip for Leslie to stop in Whitehorse, but plans were being made for a family get-together here next year when he would have turned 85.

Leslie is survived by his two daughters, Thea and Maura and his wife, Barbaree Earle.

He was previously married to Monica Boyers, Sandy Ullman (the mother of his two daughters) and Brooks Oliver.

Plans for a memorial have yet to be made.

The tribute to Baker featured an all-star cast, with artists like Chrisette Michele, Goapele, Lalah Hathaway, Dionne Farris, Kem, Tamia, Faith Evans and El DeBarge covering a medley of the singer’s greatest hits. Baker told the crowd that the biggest honor of the night for her was that real musicians were performing live with an actual band. “It’s amazing because you’ve got children behind you singing ‘Rapture’ — it’s lovely,” she said, adding, “Let’s do it again!”

According to MLive.com, Billboard lists Baker as one of the “top 50 R&B Artists of the Past 25 Years” at No. 22. Baker has won a total of eight Grammy Awards, released four platinum albums and two gold albums.

Is this conditioning?

You know Leslie Nelson? funny guy, grey hair, does a lot of comedy movies? Everytime I see him I get ready to laugh. is this conditioning?

However, I saw one of his earlier movies, Prom Night. It's a psuedo-slasher horror thriller where he plays a principal. Even though he's not doing or saying anything funny I feel compelled to laugh. (Well, his dancing is pretty funny, but I'm sure unintentional.)

Sounds like it.

If you find (all but one of) his movies funny, then you've built up a connection between seeing him and laughing.

Is this conditioning?

Leslie Nielsen dead

Hollywood actor Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun comedies, has died, aged 84.The Canadian-born comic died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his Florida home at 5.34pm, surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement.

“We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lieutenant Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television,” said Kelly.

Neilsen’s nephew, Doug Nielsen, told Canadian radio station CKNW the star had been ill for nearly a fortnight.”Leslie’s been in the hospital now for a number of days, approximately 12 days and just in this last 48 hours the infection has just gotten too much,” Doug Nielsen said.

Advertisement: story continues below

High-flier laid low … Leslie Nielsen dies at 84.

“Today at 5.30 with his friends and wife Barbaree by his side he just fell asleep and passed away.”

Nielsen came to Hollywood in the mid-1950s after performing in 150 live television dramas in new York. with a craggily handsome face, blond hair and six-foot two-inch height, he seemed ideal for a movie leading man.

Nielsen first performed as the king of France in the Paramount operetta The Vagabond King with Kathryn Grayson.

Neilsen as hapless detective Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun series.

The film – he called it The Vagabond Turkey – flopped, but MGM signed him to a seven-year contract.His first film for that studio was auspicious – as the spaceship commander in the science-fiction classic Forbidden Planet. He found his best dramatic role as the captain of an overturned ocean liner in the 1972 disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure.He became known as a serious actor, although behind the camera he was a prankster. that was an aspect of his personality never exploited, however, until Airplane! (Flying High in Australia) was released in 1980 and became a huge hit.

As the doctor aboard a plane in which the pilots, and some of the passengers, become violently ill, Nielsen says they must get to a hospital right away.”A hospital? what is it?” a flight attendant asks, inquiring about the illness.

“It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now,” Nielsen deadpans.when he asks a passenger if he can fly the plane, the man replies: “Surely you can’t be serious.”Nielsen responds: “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.”Critics argued he was being cast against type, but Nielsen disagreed.”I’ve always been cast against type before,” he said, adding that comedy was what he’d really always wanted to do.it was what he would do for most of the rest of his career, appearing in such comedies as Repossessed (a take-off on the demonic possession movies such as The Exorcist) and Mr Magoo, in which he played the title role of the good-natured bumbler.

Nelisen starred as the title character in Mr Magoo.

  Nielsen did play Debbie Reynolds’ sweetheart in the popular Tammy and the Bachelor, a loanout to Universal, and he became well known to baby boomers for his role as the Revolutionary War fighter Francis Marion in the Disney TV adventure series The Swamp Fox.Unhappy with his roles at MGM, he asked to be released from his contract. as a freelancer, he appeared in a series of undistinguished movies.”I played a lot of leaders, autocratic sorts; perhaps it was my Canadian accent,” he reasoned.meanwhile, he remained active in television in guest roles. He also starred in his own series, The new Breed, The Protectors and Bracken’s World, but all were short-lived.then Flying High captivated audiences and changed everything.Producers-directors-writers Jim Abrahams, David and Jerry Zucker had hired Robert Stack, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges and Nielsen to spoof their heroic TV images in a satire of flight-in-jeopardy movies.After the movie’s success, the filmmaking trio cast their newfound comic star as Detective Drebin in a TV series, Police Squad, which trashed the cliches of Dragnet and other cop shows. despite good reviews, NBC cancelled it after only four episodes.”It didn’t belong on TV,” Nielsen later commented. “It had the kind of humour you had to pay attention to.”The Zuckers and Abraham converted the series into a feature film, The Naked Gun, with George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson and Priscilla Presley as Nielsen’s co-stars. Its huge success led to sequels The Naked Gun 2 1/2 and The Naked Gun 33 1/3.His later movies included all I Want for Christmas, Dracula: Dead and Loving it and Spy Hard.Fairfax film critic Jim Schembri said Neilsen was ahead of his time.”When it came to getting laughs Nielsen proved himself a genius at straight-face, which is one of the hardest schools of screen comedy to master. what made his keynote performance as the doctor in Flying High so indelible was his ability to deliver mock-dramatic gags and clever word plays with a face of pure granite,” Schembri said.”After a long career in film and TV as a serious actor, Leslie Nielsen recognised the value of self-parody decades before it became fashionable. Today every actor strains to send themselves up in an effort to curry favour with audiences and buff up their comedy cred. they learnt that from Leslie Nielsen. He took the notion of self-parody and turned it from a one-off novelty act into an artform that gave his career a huge second wind, extending it by at least 20 years.”Between films he often turned serious, touring with his one-man show on the life of the great defence lawyer, Clarence Darrow.Nielsen was born on February 11, 1926 in Regina, Saskatchewan.He grew up 320 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle at Fort Norman, where his father was an officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.The parents had three sons, and Nielsen once recalled, “There were 15 people in the village, including five of us. If my father arrested somebody in the winter, he’d have to wait until the thaw to turn him in.”The elder Nielsen was a troubled man who beat his wife and sons, and Leslie longed to escape. as soon as he graduated from high school at 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, even though he was legally deaf (he wore hearing aids most of his life).After the war, Nielsen worked as a disc jockey at a Calgary radio station, then studied at a Toronto radio school operated by Lorne Greene, who would go on to star on the hit TV series Bonanza. a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse brought him to new York, where he immersed himself in live television.Nielsen was also married to: Monica Boyer, 1950-1955; Sandy Ullman, 1958-74; and Brooks Oliver, 1981-85.Nielsen and his second wife had two daughters, Thea and Maura.AP, smh.com.au

All Access: Soul Train Keeps Rolling With Second-Annual Awards [With Video]

Ronald Isley and Anita Baker get honored, but Rick Ross gets derailed.

The Second Annual Soul Train Awards were less about the dispensing of awards than about showcasing great rhythm and blues music, and celebrating the 40th anniversary of the show that first brought that music to American households every Saturday morning.

"Soul Train really was the beginning of that Black power movement, when we could actually see ourselves," said host Terrence Howard as Faith Evans and El Debarge strolled along the red carpet (which was actually a light shade of purple) serenading each other.

The distinguished and diverse audience in attendance—from Tyler Perry to Rick Ross, from Kamie Crawford, miss Teen USA to Rep. Terry Sewell, the first black woman to represent Alabama in the U.S. Congress—reflected the enduring power of Don Cornelius's vision four decades after he launched the dance show on a local Chicago channel. Taped two weeks ago, the show will air on BET's Centric network on Sunday Nov. 28.

Inside Atlanta's Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center, R. Kelly kicked things off with a roof-raising number that left no doubt that he's still very much in championship form. "I wish I had more time," Kells lamented—and the audience clearly agreed. But there was just too much to squeeze into one night: a succession of powerful moments and performances that artfully blended living legends and rising stars. Erykah Badu and Cee Lo Green each delivered stunning visual as well as musical experiences. both Gyptian and Jasmine Sullivan got the well-dressed but party-ready crowd out of their seats with raggamuffin and R&B-girl swag, respectively. Bruno Mars brought guitars and a string section to the party, while Eric Benet, Tank and Rachelle Ferrell did things with their voices that no Pro Tools plug-in can even approximate.

The evening's undisputed highlights were the two Soul Train Legends awards: First up was Anita Baker, whose timeless 1986 album Rapture and the 1988 follow-up Giving You The Best That I've Got made soul music pop and exerted a profound influence on generations of R&B vocalists to come. Ms. Baker took time out during her acceptance speech to note that all the music that night was being played by "real musicians"—and that the artists on stage that night "were really singing." If that seemed like a subtle dig at the Auto-Tune/MPC crowd, maybe it was. But the eight-time Grammy Winner, whose name is already on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, mostly seemed caught up in the rapture as a succession of remarkable voices interpreted her classics with the kind of feeling that can't be faked.

Of the eleven announced categories, just five Soul Train Awards (Song of The Year, Best new Artist, Best Reggae Artist, Best Hip Hop Song, and the Centric Award for the most promising new artist) were presented during the marathon taping, which ended after 1:30 in the morning with a tribute to Mr. Biggs himself, the legendary Ronald Isley. The lead singer and founding member of the Isley Brothers, who released their first record, "Shout," over half a century ago, was released from prison this past May after serving three years in federal prison for tax evasion. with his three-year-old son sitting in his wife Kandi's lap, the soul legend gripped his gold-tipped cane tightly as he gave an emotional acceptance speech. his heartfelt words—followed by an apparently impromptu performance—must have made it all worthwhile for presenter Steve Harvey. The comedian, bestselling author, and host of a popular radio show that will soon be broadcast on Centric, informed the crowd repeatedly that the only reason he was staying up so late was because of his deep respect for Ronald Isley. "This ain't the Source Awards," Harvey quipped between takes. "We've got to go to work in the morning. But I'm here because that's my man."

Oscar-nominated co-hosts Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard brought a pleasantly salty chemistry to the night, and their dance battle segment—particularly Taraji's skin-tight outfit—was simply phenomenal. it was also a welcome moment of hip hop in a show that sometimes struggled to bridge a generation gap. Though Don Cornelius always enjoyed kicking it with the likes of Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, and James Brown, he did not turn his back on rap. "The first time I seen Kurtis Blow on there, that's the first time they brought rap to Soul Train," reminisced DJ Kid Capri, who later joined Just Blaze and Biz Markie onstage to present the award for best Hip-Hop Song of the year.

Unfortunately Soul Train's big hip hop moment of the year ran off the rails. although Rick Ross was in the building, and was scheduled to perform on the show, his epic smash "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)" was not nominated but did not take the prize. The winning MC did not attend, but CNN anchorman Wolf Blitzer accepted on his behalf, quipping, "who better than me to accept this award for him?"

"I told people Ross is ahead of time ten years ago," DJ Khaled said before the show as he walked the purp carpet with Ricky Rozay. "Rick Ross's first performance on Soul Train, that's gonna be big." But on this night he and the Bawse decided to jump off the Train and catch a Maybach instead. —Rob Kenner

Remembering Leslie Nielsen, A Master Of The Art Of Not Being Funny – NPR (blog)

Anonymous/Paramount/AP

This 1988 file photo provided by Paramount, shows actor Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin in the movie “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!”

When most people think of Leslie Nielsen, who died yesterday from complications of pneumonia, they think of Airplane! or the Naked Gun movies or, if they’re really trying to outcool you, the spectacularly deranged and fundamentally doomed six-episode TV series Police Squad! Me, I think of Saturday Night Live.

When Nielsen hosted the show, way back in 1989, he was given a magnificent opening monologue where he explained exactly what he did and his bafflement therein. He didn’t understand why he had been asked to host a comedy show, because he was neither a comedian nor a comic. A comedian, he explained, was someone who says funny things. A comic was someone who says things in a funny way.

Nielsen, on the other hand, was someone who said unfunny things in an unfunny way, and for some reason, people laughed. To demonstrate this, he delivered an innocuous line – something along the lines of “mr. Jones, sit down, I’d like to talk to you about your son” – twice. The first time, he said it as though he were in a drama, and the response was muted.

Then he told us that he was going to say the exact same unfunny line as Lt. Frank Drebin, in an unfunny way, and he did exactly that, and the audience exploded. it wasn’t just indulging him as prompted, either. without actually tilting his delivery in that direction, Nielsen made it genuinely funny. To underscore his point, he then broke character with a look of happy exasperation and basically said, “See?”

It was one of my favorite SNL monologues ever, because it explicitly dissected the host’s entire schtick in a way that invited appreciation, rather than making it instantly tired and formulaic. Instead of mocking his persona in one way or the other, in the manner of most monologues, it was a tiny little master class in how it’s done.

And it’s informed every single time I’ve come across Nielsen since, whether deliberately or by accident. When his later movies like Dracula: Dead and Loving it and Spy Hard didn’t work, I theorized that it was because he had started mugging (or was told by his directors to mug), which actively subverted the very thing that worked for him.

And when I watch Airplane! or the Naked Gun movies or – seriously, you won’t believe how dumb and brilliant it is – Police Squad!, I understand just a little bit more how he’s doing what he’s doing, and it makes me sit in awed appreciation a little bit. Look, “and don’t call me Shirley” is, perhaps indisputably, the dumbest joke in the history of anything. Leslie Nielsen was able to turn it into comic gold. Saying unfunny things in an unfunny manner and magically having the result be funny is an incredibly hard trick. and nobody ever did it better.

Holiday gifts: Bob, the Boss and Ol' Blue Eyes

If the items in this gift roundup appear skewed to baby boomers, that’s not our fault. Record labels, publishers and the music biz on the whole seem to have figured out that younger fans will be asking for iTunes gift cards and nothing out of a physical store. Here’s the stuff for music fans who want to get physical.

CDs

Bruce Springsteen, "the Promise: the Darkness on the Edge of Town Story" (three CDs and three DVDs, $120). Easily the year’s most stunning and ambitious boxed set, this bonanza features one of the best albums of outtakes ever (the 21-song "the Promise"); 1978′s "Darkness" in studio, plus a 2009 live version; a DVD on the making of the album (see Steve Van Zandt without a bandana or hat) and another featuring 1978 concert performances. It’s all packaged in a spiral notebook filled with handwritten lyrics, set lists, photos and Springsteen ephemera. (John Bream)

R.E.M., "Fables of the Reconstruction" (two CDs, $30). Sort of a between-eras album not among the band’s best remembered, it makes for an interesting 25th-anniversary set. you can hear (and read about) Michael Stipe & Co. feeling their way to a bigger, often better sound, especially in the extra disc of hard-working demos and outtakes. (Chris Riemenschneider)

Weezer, "Pinkerton" (two CDs, $30). as one of the few critics who sang this sophomore album’s praises from the get-go, I might put a little extra value on this deluxe edition. But all the hype and legend add to the enjoyment, and musically it stands up — much more than, say, "Buddy Holly." the live tracks, demos and outtakes vary in quality, but the fact there’s a lot of ‘em adds to the fun. (C.R.)

Nine Inch Nails, "Pretty Hate Machine" (CD $11; vinyl $30): There’s only one bonus track on this reissue — an Al Jourgensen-produced cover of Queen’s "Get Down make Love" — but the hi-fi quality is immaculate enough to make you feel like you’re down in it with Trent Reznor during the making of his classic 1991 debut. (C.R.)

Bob Dylan, "the Witmark Demos 1962-1964" (two CDs $19; vinyl $135). Hear the great Minnesotan talk (he even tells jokes), sing with a clear voice (by Dylan standards) and try to find his musical compass. This ninth installment in his bootleg series showcases 47 works in progress, including piano versions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" and a slower "the Times They Are A-Changin’" and 15 obscurities, including "Guess I’m doing Fine." (J.B.)

Syl Johnson, "the Complete Mythology" (six LPs plus four CDs, $80): how did such a little-known legend merit such a bulky boxed set? more surprising, a lot of this isn’t even the Chicago R&B singer/guitarist/label-operator’s best-known recordings. This one’s for the really nutty collectors, as it gathers up a lot of his hardest-to-find LPs, singles and unreleased recordings and sorts through it with a 52-page booklet. the label, Numero, only sent out a sampler, but it had us wanting to hear a lot more. (C.R.)

BOOKS

"Life," Keith Richards (Little, Brown, $30). In his wildly entertaining memoir, the Rolling Stones guitarist regales us with tales of sex (Mick Jagger has a "tiny todger"), drugs ("I was very meticulous about how much I took") and rock ‘n’ roll ("if you’re working the right chord, you can hear this other chord going on behind it, which actually you’re not playing"). It’s all delivered with Keith’s usual I-survived-somehow-didn’t-I smirk. He’s thoughtful, funny and hopelessly rock ‘n’ roll, even if he doesn’t expound enough on Brian Jones, Altamont and sharing a bed with Gram Parsons (really). (J.B.)

"the Anthology of Rap," edited by Adam Bradley and Andrew DuBois (Yale, $35). two English professors undertook the daunting task of collecting the lyrics of nearly 700 rap songs to assert the genre’s literary bona fides. With brief introductory bios preceding the lyrics, they cover everyone from Afrika Bambaataa to Young Jeezy. Minnesota is represented by Atmosphere, Brother Ali and Eyedea & Abilities. the 868-page anthology offers the good, the bad and the offensive — and plenty of food for intelligent discussion. (J.B.)

"Frank: the Voice," James Kaplan (Doubleday, $35). Co-author of memoirs by Jerry Lewis and John McEnroe, Kaplan writes this stellar Frank Sinatra bio with a novelist’s flair. His well-researched 786-page tome suggests that the boy’s violent birth caused his rage; that his tough, politically involved mother became the model for his complicated, domineering personality, and that his wife Ava Gardner became his dark muse after their breakup. This oft-told but powerfully painted story ends with Sinatra winning an Oscar in 1954. Can’t wait for Volume 2. (J.B.)

DVDs

"the best of Soul Train" (three DVDs, $40). Don Cornelius’ hippest trip gives us a glimpse into the 1970s’ golden age of soul: an era of big Afros, extra-wide collars and Afro Sheen along with the music of Barry White, the Commodores and the Jackson 5. There’s a little too much lip-synching but James Brown, Sly & the Family Stone, Stevie wonder and the Isley Brothers are excitingly live. the highlight is a rare duet at the piano by Aretha Franklin and Smokey Robinson on "Ooh Baby Baby." (J.B.)

"Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2010" (two DVDs, $30). you miss the scorching sun of June 26 in Chicago, but you get hotter-than-July guitar licks in various styles. This smartly edited 4 1/2-hour set captures most of the high points of the 12-hour marathon. Disc 2 is a thriller, with inspired collaborations between Buddy Guy, Ron Wood and Jonny Lang; Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi and others, and of course, host/organizer Eric Clapton, first with Jeff Beck and then with Steve Winwood (love their "Voodoo Chile"). (J.B.)

"the British Invasion" (five DVDs, $80). These black-and-white flashbacks to the 1960s make a compelling case for the greatness of Dusty Springfield, the pop-soul singer with a blond beehive and kohl eyes. using television clips and more recent interviews, these discs explore Dusty, the underappreciated Small Faces, Herman’s Hermits and Gerry & the Pacemakers. a treat for oldies lovers. (J.B.)

Comcast internet not working correctly...helppp!!!!?

I have a comcast motorola router and ever since my power went out for a couple of days, it hasn't worked properly. I will have internet for maybe 30 seconds and then it is almost like the router restarts and all the button start flashing. A couple minutes later, I will have the internet for 30 seconds again and then it goes out again. I called comcast and they said that the modem was put on standby due to the power outage. They then told me to shut the computer off and to unplug the internet cord, wait 1 minute, and then plug back in and I should be good to go.

It didn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thankssss

Unplug the modem/router for five minutes. then plug it back in. Wait five minutes. then reboot the computer. if that doesn't fix it, you'll probably need to call Comcast.

Soul Train Awards live: What you won't see on TV

Okay so it’s finally time for the Soul Train Awards, which taped in Atlanta on November 10 and airs tonight at 9 p.m. on both BET and Centric. This is probably one of the times when it’s definitely better to see it on television because, in person, the show required patience greater than most humans possess.

It all started out shaky. First of all, the arrival time for those with tickets was 7:30 p.m. The show was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. and the purple carpet kicked off around 6 p.m. Atlanta traffic, however, did not get that memo thanks to a multi-car accident around 14th Street.

Of course the line to get in at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre was longer than a church sermon but getting in was a lot easier than anticipated, allowing enough time to pop into the social media room before taking a seat at the top mezzanine, dead center, where the view was wonderful. The only problem was there was no show. Comedian Damon Williams was funny but there’s only so much a person who isn’t the main attraction can do.

The show finally started around 9 p.m. Show hosts Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson interacted a lot. It wasn’t that Terrence and Taraji weren’t funny; the problem was how slow-moving everything was. there was so much dialogue between the two of them that it seemed more like a variety show than an awards show. Magic tricks and dance-offs are fine and dandy, but did it have to take so dang long? okay, so maybe the dance-off was hilarious and worth the wait.

Spoiler alert: R. Kelly checked in with the first performance and he rocked it. First it started with a medley of his hits coming from masked R. Kellys from the various balcony booths. who knew who the real R. was until he stepped on stage? It didn’t matter because cuts like “Your Body’s Calling” just have a way of taking over.

Once firmly planted, he treated the audience to a rendition of his new song “when a Woman Loves.” Coming with the throwback steez of yesteryear — think ’50s doo-wop and ’60s soul — R. Kelly began belting out his heartfelt “I really messed up”-themed latest and then there was a twist. Let’s just say that he got his Ray Charles on. that was most certainly a highlight of a show that literally went on for hours and hours. Those who made it all the way through the taping and weren’t on payroll deserve a prize for real. for others, it was a stay-as-long-as-you-can moment and this reporter was in that bunch. Even still, there were great highlights.

Now the Anita Baker tribute was indeed off the meter. Definitely must-see TV. Chrisette Michele, Tamia, Lalah Hathaway, Faith Evans, Kem, Rachelle Ferrell, Goapele, Dionne Farris and El DeBarge. Erykah Badu put in an interesting performance. well actually it was very good and very creative. It’s kind of hard to describe other than she’s on the ground for the performance and it looks hi-tech, like video-game-ish.

Cee-Lo is always good for theatrics so why hold back for Soul Train? he performed a more FCC-friendly version of his hit “F**k you.” Eric Benet could sing “sometimes I Cry” three million times straight and most women would not mind. It’s nice to hear a guy singing about heartbreak for a change. Tank, in his thug-life attire, looked a little out of place for the Soul Train Awards during his solo performance. Ne-Yo also performed, taking a moment to rap, which was a bit surprising for the Soul Train Awards, which is known for R&B.

Interestingly there were actually some awards given out. The Atlanta-born Raven-Symoné and longtime Atlanta resident Keshia Knight Pulliam, both “Cosby Show” alums, presented one award together. B.o.B. won but he wasn’t there and that gave Bruno Mars (the singer/songwriter behind “Nothing on You”) the perfect opportunity to come up and accept the award. Yes, so random. More interesting or entertaining was Wolf Blitzer being game enough to learn how to Dougie with Doug E. Fresh. It was so entertaining that Eric Benet turned away from his interview in the social media room to look at the live feed of Doug E. teaching Blitzer how to Dougie.

Back of Eric Benet again, he showed up throughout his days in Atlanta with the lovely Manuela Testolini, Prince’s ex-wife, who also happened to be in Mumbai during the vicious terrorist attacks two years ago around this time. she and Benet have been dating for some time now.

Another highlight of the social media room was seeing Anita Baker. Although heavily escorted, Baker, who is petite, seemed very grateful to be honored. she spoke of how initially the music industry tried to change her by putting wigs on her and just trying to manipulate her look. but she couldn’t do or be anything other than herself so that’s what she rode with. During the actual tribute, she said she was most touched that everything was done with a live band. “This is real. This is what soul music is,” she said, while accepting her legend honor.

Unfortunately a show rolling into the wee hours, rumored to be past 3 a.m., is not one that all can endure. It was bit painful to miss the Ronald Isley tribute, of course. just thinking of not seeing Bilal, R. Kelly, Eric Benet, Keyshia Cole and El DeBarge serenade Mr. Biggs live still hurts. Thankfully it will be televised. but even with its way-past-anybody’s-bedtime taping schedule, let’s hope that Soul Train hits Atlanta again next year. Because despite all the challenges, it was still — to quote legendary Soul Train founder Don Cornelius — a “stone cold blast honey.”

Comedy star Leslie Nielsen dies at 84

LOS ANGELES | Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in “Airplane!” and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in "the Naked Gun" comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.

The Canadian-born actor died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home at 5:34 p.m., surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement.

“We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in 'the Naked Gun' series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television,” said Kelly.

Nielsen came to Hollywood in the mid-1950s after performing in 150 live television dramas in new York. With a craggily handsome face, blond hair and 6-foot-2 height, he seemed ideal for a movie leading man.

Nielsen first performed as the king of France in the Paramount operetta “The Vagabond King” with Kathryn Grayson.

The film — he called it “The Vagabond Turkey” — flopped, but MGM signed him to a seven-year contract.

His first film for that studio was auspicious — as the space ship commander in the science fiction classic “Forbidden Planet.” He found his best dramatic role as the captain of an overturned ocean liner in the 1972 disaster movie, “The Poseidon Adventure.”

He became known as a serious actor, although behind the camera he was a prankster. That was an aspect of his personality never exploited, however, until “Airplane!” was released in 1980 and became a huge hit.

As the doctor aboard a plane in which the pilots, and some of the passengers, become violently ill, Nielsen says they must get to a hospital right away.

“A hospital? what is it?” a flight attendant asks, inquiring about the illness.

Underground Teacher: Don Cornelius is a Ding Dong

Don Cornelius aka Black Kramer is such a ding dong, and I wouldn’t be able to teach this year without him. Yesterday, we show him a picture of this monster snail that none of us knows if it is real or not. Well, Don Cornelius thinks its real and hangs out underneath his trampoline.

Today I saw Don Cornelius at lunch and asked him if he went looking for the snail monster under the trampoline. there is this big smile and a long pause, and then he says, “No.”  I ask him, “Are you sure?” and said that he didn’t go looking for him. I give him that look. you know, that look that lets him know that I know what he knows. so we leave it at that.

My after lunch class comes around, and, lo and behold, a fellow classmate was laughing about Don Cornelius went looking for the snail monster under his trampoline. my ears perk up,and I tune in asking the friend if Don Cornelius really went looking underneath the trampoline. His friend said that he totally did. I just knew he did, and I told his friend that he lied to me, and I was so going to get him when he came to next period.

It gets better. all the kids know that I have been waiting for my last period class to spring the snail monster on Don Cornelius, and they help me out with information and say nothing. next thing you know, his friends are laughing and telling the story of how Don Cornelius wanted to know how I knew he had a trampoline and dogs in his back yards. rather than ask anyone, and his friends and the rest of the kids on our team totally knows what is up, Don Cornelius is scratching his head wondering how I got my information. I told him I have bat hearing and eyes everywhere, and I think he believes it. He kept telling his friends that he couldn’t get over how much Miss Underground Teacher knew about him. This is why I love this kid. He will fall for anything and take it in stride.

No one has dared to tell him what is up. Everyone is just keeping quiet about it and letting the boy sit in his own confusion. either way, when I saw him, I told him that I knew he went looking for the snail monster underneath the trampoline, and he was like, “Who told you?”

Next thing you know, you hear him muttering something about “Can’t get nothin’ past her. I don’t know how she does it.”

It’s one of the perks of the job.

Garrow's Law: Series 2, BBC One - The Arts Desk - Arts Reviews, Features and News

What gives the show its fascination, apart from its excellent ensemble cast and some exemplary dramatic writing by Tony Marchant, is the way it exposes the growing pains of the English law, which gives every impression of being a collection of protectionist regulations designed to protect the wealthy and powerful. The stories are based on real-life cases from the Old Bailey, and you have to marvel at the way Garrow not only created the concept of advocacy for the common person, but managed to sustain his efforts in the teeth of concerted campaigns to ruin his career. Buchan sometimes looks too young and naive to carry the weight of reforming the entire legal system single handed, but it’s a vivid, beguiling performance. ‘The jealous obsession of Sir Arthur Hill is thundering down on the impetuous barrister like a blazing tumbril packed with gunpowder’ The slavery case shed intriguing light on contemporary attitudes. Slaves were categorised as property, and were insured as cargo for their hazardous transatlantic crossing. thus, though Captain Collingwood had thrown 133 of them overboard because there was supposedly not enough water to go round on his ship, there were no grounds for a charge of murder because you couldn't murder cargo. Garrow, opposed as usual by sardonic prosecutor Silvester (Aidan McArdle), was acting on behalf of the Liverpool Assurance company which had paid out for the drowned slaves, on the understanding that Collingwood had been forced to dump them to save his ship. or, as Garrow's mentor and colleague John Southouse (Alun Armstrong, robust as nautical timber) resoundingly put it, "The insurance claim declared the ship was rendered foul and leaky, having been retarded by perils of the sea." however, the insurance company had discovered evidence that the claim was false, and suspected the captain of negligence. Much moved by the anguish and indignation of the freed slave Gustavus Vassa (Danny Sapani, pictured right), Garrow took the insurance case as a proxy for trying to get some justice for the murdered victims, even though, as Vassa put it, "That is merely a mercenary business about the pecuniary value of negroes, not their right to live." Garrow's view was that you had to start somewhere.

Marchant has been alert to the perils of battering the viewer over the head with single-issue worthiness, and has kept the narrative pot boiling on the personal front too. The jealous obsession of Sir Arthur Hill (Rupert Graves) that his wife, Lady Sarah (Lyndsey Marshall), is having an affair with Garrow – he's even convinced that Garrow is the father of their baby son – is thundering down on the impetuous barrister like a blazing tumbril packed with gunpowder. Hill has hired the sinister lawyer John Farmer (Anton Lesser) to inflict maximum grief on Sarah and Garrow, for instance by hitting Lady Sarah with a suit for "separation by bed and board". Via this means, Farmer explained smirkingly, "Your wife will find herself in a ruinous state of limbo, where she is neither respectably married nor free to remarry and salvage her reputation." The connection between Hill's view of his wife as a mere chattel and the plight of slaves needed no spelling out, and Hill was naturally more concerned with potential damage to the slavery industry than with the fate of a few drowned Africans. Plenty of trouble ahead, mr Garrow.

Watch Matt And Kim’s ‘Live In NYC’ Performance � MTV Buzzworthy Blog

(Credit: Scott Gries/MTV)

For the Brooklyn power-indie-pop duo Matt and Kim, home is wherever they happen to park their tour bus. the truth of the matter is that they actually live in Brooklyn, in an “8-foot wide railroad apartment,” but, to hear the band tell it, their tour bus has more of the comforts of home (cable TV!) than their actual home does.

That’s because they are constantly touring, playing shows for nine months of the year. All that road-testing pays off in these fantastic live videos from the Matt And Kim “Live in NYC” MTV.com concert.

These full-length video performances capture the barely controlled chaos of a Matt and Kim live show, as the band races through tracks like “Grand” “Cinders,” “Yea Yeah,” “Daylight” and more.

You can also watch some charming interview clips with Matt And Kim where they discuss their road warrior lifestyle, their songwriting process and an incredible anecdote about a very strange interaction with Erykah Badu.

Check out Matt and Kim’s “Live in NYC” performance, plus watch Matt and Kim over yonder to watch the interviews and complete the experience by peeping these awesome photos from the ‘Live in NYC’ show.
