  • Jack and Ann Arnold
    JACK AND ANN ARNOLD 32 ROCKY KNOLL Remember the “Pool Guy” episode on Seinfeld? The one where the pool-guy, Jerry’s self-professed “best friend,” HAD to squeeze in between Jerry and Kramer in the movie theater even though they had purposely left one seat between them for buffer? For Jerry, that was the last straw that made him cut ties with the pool guy once and for all. But that was 1995, and the movie was Firestorm. For Jack and Ann, it was one year before that, and the movie was In the Name of the Father. At Edwards Island 7 Cinema. And THIS story has a happy ending. On a Saturday evening in March of 1994, Ann (then) Lombardi was in a pensive mood. Her close friend had just passed away. Her happy childhood in Waterbury, Connecticut, seemed like a distant memory. Even moving to Orange County in her early 20’s because the soot from the factories and the wet, cold winters weren’t helping her asthmatic son. It was all starting to feel like a bad dream. She was in a good place then career-wise, having worked for Bank of America, moving up from an hourly teller all the way up to a corporate trainer, who trained bank/corporate officers all over the country. But what she needed on that particular evening was some peace and quiet. What better way was there to mourn a friend’s passing than to watch a movie about the IRA? She got to the theater early to get the best seat in the house.

  • 2006 Marshall Product Catalog
    product catalogue 06 from Jim Marshall Welcome to the latest Marshall Product Catalogue. Firstly, I would like to introduce my daughter and Managing Director of Marshall Amplification, Victoria Marshall. While I am still very much involved in all projects and maintain my hands on approach within the company, Victoria now takes care of the day-to-day running of the business. It always fills me with great pride when I unveil the latest information regarding not only established and much-loved favourites, but also the latest additions to our formidable range of amplifiers. We have been working extremely closely with the Hendrix family to produce the first amplifier Jimi Hendrix purchased from my shop and performed all his early gigs with. This project was of special importance to me as Jimi was, and continues to be, a fantastic ambassador for my company. Credit has to go to my team for producing such an astounding duplicate to the tone and cosmetic look of those original stacks. It always makes me smile when people think of Marshall as a guitar amp manufacturer only. Over the years I have employed some of the best bass engineers in the business! Our new MB bass range will testify to this. I cater for every guitar player and this series starts at a 15 Watt practice amp and ends at a 450 Watt head with cabinets for stage use. No matter how big or small the amp, I will never sacrifice on the quality of sound. For 43 years we have produced amplifiers that have set the sonic benchmark for guitarists and earned us the reputation for being the foremost manufacturer in guitar amplification.

  • The Culture of Post-Narcissism
    THE CULTURE OF POST-NARCISSISM The Culture of Post-Narcissism Post-teenage, Pre-midlife Singles Culture in Seinfeld, Friends, and Ally – Seinfeld in Particular MICHAEL SKOVMAND In a recent article, David P. Pierson makes a persuasive case for considering American television comedy, and sitcoms in particular, as ‘Modern Comedies of Manners’. These comedies afford a particular point of entry into contemporary mediatised negotiations of ‘civility’, i.e. how individual desires and values interface with the conventions and stand- ards of families, peer groups and society at large. The apparent triviality of subject matter and the hermetic appearance of the groups depicted may deceive the unsuspecting me- dia researcher into believing that these comedies are indeed “shows about nothing”. The following is an attempt to point to a particular range of contemporary American televi- sion comedies as sites of ongoing negotiations of behavioural anxieties within post-teen- age, pre-midlife singles culture – a culture which in many aspects seems to articulate central concerns of society as a whole. This range of comedies can also be seen, in a variety of ways, to point to new ways in which contemporary television comedy articu- lates audience relations and relations to contemporary culture as a whole. American television series embody the time-honoured American continental dicho- tomy between the West Coast and the East Coast. The West Coast – LA – signifies the Barbie dolls of Baywatch, and the overgrown high school kids of Beverly Hills 90210. On the East Coast – more specifically New York and Boston, a sophisticated tradition of television comedy has developed since the early 1980s far removed from the beach boys and girls of California.
