This is Ted. He is featured in many Photoshop creations. At 3PM on 22 March 2012 Ted went to sleep forever. Ted is Dead. RIP
Not what I had in mind for today but I am decorating so not much time available.
Still had my wide angle lens on from yesterday and took this one of Ted when I had a quick break to play footie with him. This is his second appearance in this Oct challenge, both times he has had his tongue out, not bad for a dog who is normally camera shy!

German singer and film actor Ted Herold (1942) was billed as The German Elvis in the late 1950s and early 1960s. With his Rock ‘n Roll covers, he appeared in several Schlagerfilms between 1959 and 1963. In 1977 he made a surprise come-back.
Ted Herold was born as Harald Walter Bernhard Schubring in Berlin-Schöneberg; in 1942. He was the son of a plasterer. In 1951 his family moved to Bad Homburg. As a boy already had a passion for music, especially for US Rock 'n' Roll songs by Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, and most of all Elvis Presley. At the age of 14, he had gotten his first guitar as a Christmas present. At school, he started to play these songs. In 1958 a girlfriend from school mediated a contract for him with the record company Polydor. That same year followed his first single with two cover versions of Elvis hits, Ich brauch' keinen Ring (Want you to wear my ring around your neck) and Lover Doll. His producer Bert Kaempfert came up with the pseudonym Ted Herold. After his first success, he moved on to top producer Gerhard Mendelson, who already managed the career of teen idol Peter Kraus. While Kraus got more success with milder songs, Herold was build up as the new ‘German Elvis’. Till 1960 Herold sang mainly German covers of Presley hits. With a line from his song Ich bin ein Mann (I am a man), the then 17-year-old singer caused a sensation in prudish postwar-Germany. The German radio refused to play the song.
Ted Herold broadened his song repertoire in 1960 with more mild titles, just like his role model Elvis. Among his hits were covers like Ich bin ein Wanderer (The Wanderer) and Da Doo Ron Ron. The ballad Moonlight became with 500,000 sold singles his biggest hit and climbed to #1 in the hit parade. Herold, who still had the image of a rebel rocker, did not get any engagements from the conservative German television till the mid-1960s. But between 1959 and 1963 he was often seen in several musical films. He made his film debut in the musical comedy La Paloma (Paul Martin, 1959) with Bibi Johns and Karlheinz Böhm. He sang the song, Texas Baby. That same year followed Immer die Mädchen/Always the Girls (Fritz Remond, 1959) in which he sang Hula-Rock, and Mein Schatz, komm mit ans blaue Meer/My Darling, Come to the Blue Sea (Rudolf Schündler, 1959) with Gus Backus, in which Ted sang Küss mich. The success of Schlagerparade (Franz Marischka, 1960) with Herold, Vivi Bach, Rex Gildo, and many other Schlager stars led to sequels as Schlagerparade 1961 (Franz Marischka, 1961) and Schlagerrevue 1962 (Thomas Engel, 1961). Other films of the same genre include Davon träumen alle Mädchen/That’s What All The Girls Dream About (Thomas Engel, 1961) with Marion Michael, Drei Liebesbriefe aus Tirol/Three Love Letters from Tyrol (1962, Werner Jacobs) with Ann Smyrner, and Sing, aber spiel nicht mit mir/Sing,But Don’t Play With Me (Kurt Nachmann, 1963). In 1963 military service interrupted his career. His following singles had less success than before, also because of the upcoming beat wave. He started a study to become a radio and tv technician and married in 1965 Karin Höhler. In 1966 he recorded his last single with Polydor and then retired to run a radio and television repair service.
In 1977 Ted Herold became a surprising offer from German rock singer Udo Lindenberg to cooperate on a title of his LP Panische Nächte, and to join him on a tour through Germany. Ted got a new record deal with Teldec and started to produce new titles, including Rockabilly-Willi, Bill Haley, Die Besten sterben jung and Rock'n'Roll For President. He sang them with his old classics during many gigs at the height of the Rock 'n' Roll revival. He was the guest of many TV shows and appeared as a rock singer in the German-American coproduction Judgment in Berlin (Leo Penn, 1988) starring Martin Sheen. Ted Herold married in 2002 his longtime companion Manuela. In 2005 he had a new hit with 1958 - wir waren dabei (1958 – we were there). He made guest appearances in the tv series Die Kommissarin (2000) and Lindenstraße (2007). Last year his 26th album was presented, Jukebox Jeans Rock'n'Roll. Fifty years earlier, when Elvis Presley was posted in Germany by the U.S. Army, the German Elvis had met the original once in the streets of Bad Homburg. Herold had talked to his big idol for some moments and had given him some of his own records.

this was the last time i slept - a solid 27 hours ago. i can't write properly about my conversion to the motherboard of awesomeness that is the USA, California, TED, Palm Springs and Trans Continental train travel now - but i'll try and fill in the gaps tomorrow
So, Right.
This wanton photo was taken by three naked, glowing red letters. I spent much of the week trying to find a reason to hate them, but by the time this picture was taken I had completely and utterly submitted to their sexual red glow.
Why? Here's how I got it wrong.
1. It wouldn't be exciting.
There were about 50 twenty minute talks and about 75 three minute talks - it's like a sort of massive cabaret of ideas. 10 talks were crap - 20 were ok but the rest were brilliant. All the speakers are kept to time - otherwise they get told to finish. There isn't really any q and a or debate - I know this seems a bit fascist, but I think most people would much rather hear speakers than rambles and self-promotions from the audience. Everything happens in one auditorium where the stage is lit like a film set and dressed like a theatrical production. This means it works just as well on TV - meaning the vibe at the Palm Springs simulcast in the desert was just as intense as that in the main conference in Long Beach.
2. It would be too prosaic
Sure there are plenty of 'inspirational' personal stories that maybe don't quite qualify as ideas, but alot of the talks were actually quite dark - there was one on the robotisation of war, another on the contamination of fish with plastic and al gore's featured a flaming fountain of methane bursting out of the polar ice cap. Also, the whole thing leaves you with conflicting ideas - as in wow! look how cool my robots are - oh no, look, there's a robot killing a child. Look at this machine i have made replicating the movements of a gecko! agh! look at all the animals that keep being killed for meat.
3. It would be too up itself
I thought this was going to stand, but at the end of the conference some comedians put together a review ripping it out of most of the speakers and themes. This climaxed with a brilliant gag about a Blue Whale drowning one of the other speakers in ejaculant. As you can guess i enjoyed this so much, i almost wanted to cry when Jamie Callum came on to play Imagine at the end (which is like eating a sh*t and it tasting of ice cream).
4. It's just a holiday camp for rich people
Well, there were alot of rich and famous people. But TED is a not for profit, the speakers and performers (incredibly) aren't actually paid and by all accounts the director doesn't take a salary. The website is pretty amazing - and the improvements they announced at the conference (sub titles for lots of the talks and an open source platform for translation) should make it much better. I doubt i'll ever be able to go to the conference again, but if there was a cheaper simulcast type thing, i'd definitely go. TED is also run by women - I don't know why but I think it makes it just better than an organisation run by men. And I really love the fact that the current TED is a sort of love child of Chris Anderson and Jaqueline Novogratz (runs the acumen fund supporting entrepreneurial approaches to fixing global poverty etc) i guess which sort of makes them a bit like Mike and Jane Eavis. As a rule, cool organisations seem to come from couples.
oh sod it, i could go on with this, but i'm not sure this is really that interesting, and i'm not sure this retrospective flickr commenting is working. i should have just taken a proper computer with me so i could have done it there.
Maybe I've just drunk the coolade and joined a cult, and I know I'm vulnerable to that, but most of the things i have enjoyed in the past have been like a cult (watford fc, the st andrews alternative music society (aka bulletproof), glastonbury, demos, maldonia) so i'm not that fussed. At the end of the day, whatever you think of it, TED is using all the tools available to it to mass-market and commodify what are otherwise, quite obscure ideas - and mobilise people behind sorting out big social problems - and what-everr you think about the means, that has to be a good thing.
