| Forget the Meluas ... Adele's the real thing
Suspicions were raised when it slipped out that, like Katie Melua, Kate Nash and Amy Winehouse (all of whom she intermittently resembled), she is a former pupil of Croydon luvvy factory, The BRIT School For The Performing Arts And Technology. Those suspicions were partly dispersed when it transpired that she is not, by any yardstick, a stick-thin glamourpuss and she still lives with her masseuse mother. If her unashamedly estuary tones, her mangled introductions ("It hasn't got a chorus or nothing," she explained of First Love) and her decision to dress for an afternoon in front of the television suggested one of Catherine Tate's more lazily observed characters, only the flintiest of hearts could fail to respond to Adele's wideeyed, boundless enthusiasm as, to celebrate its release this week, she performed her debut album 19 from beginning to end.

I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house. If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will never know. Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.

ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO SUPPORT THEM OR NOT! ! !

JUST A NOTE TO THIS; STARBUCKS HAD STORESON SEVERAL MILITARY BASES IN THE UNITED STATES.THEY ARE NOW BEING REMOVED BECAUSE OF THIS.
American Idol Buzz
Some of the regulars in the know are aware that this myajc.com/idolblog social networking site, which launched a year ago, was an experiment. Not to say the experiment is over but due to some management decisions beyond my control, we are having to move this back to the old blog template used by the other blogs on this site (including my radio/tv blog.) This means your avatars, comments and personal pages will disappear in a few weeks. All my old blog entries from 2007 were mirrored on the old site and will survive the transition. The change will occur at 9:30 p.m. EST Tuesday, January 9. From that moment, if you type in www.myajc.com/idolblog, it will move you to an even simpler site called www.ajc.com/idolblog. So easy you can tell your friends and bookmark it! The bosses tell me a new social networking site will be back, possibly midseason but definitely by midyear, no later.
History Channel and Crime Network for Top UP TV
This will enable it to free space for a further HD channel. It will issue a call before the end of the year for a current SD pay channel to be converted to HD clearly intended for Canal+.

Ofcom DTT proposals UK Media regulator Ofcom has revealed proposals for a significant upgrade of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) that will offer more channels and new services. The proposed upgrade will create capacity allowing high definition television channels on DTT on which Freeview operates as early as 2009. It says the proposals would deliver significant benefits for: viewers, who would be able to access an array of new channels; broadcasters, who would be able to deliver a greater range of services and also the economy, by making better use of the valuable spectrum reserved for broadcasting.

A selection of the reactions we received from readers on our online comment board are printed at right. The comments reflect some of the enthusiasm - and caution - that residents feel on the issue of expanded gambling, which Gov. Steve Beshear has proposed to generate revenue for state programs. The discussion began after word came Northern Kentucky-based casino operator Bill Yung of Columbia Sussex Corp. had bought the property, which most recently had housed the Jillian's entertainment complex, for $7 million dollars. The brewery is located off 12th Street in Covington, just east of I-71/75 and slightly north of a planned St. Elizabeth Hospital building. .
