During the discussion, Reiman said: "I think that what happens is she [Pelosi] practices the speech too much and wants to come across as forceful and powerful and uses gestures that she might think are forceful." After O'Reilly stated, "So she's practicing," Reiman reiterated, "I think she does practice." O'Reilly replied: "You know who used to do that, who practiced for hours before making a speech? And I'm not making any comparison here. So, don't -- you crazy left-wing websites out there, it's not a comparison. Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler practiced for hours, all of his ... gestures and everything else before he went out there. So if you practice your gestures, and then you get out there and you screw them up, you just -- you should just be natural." As Media Matters for America has documented, O'Reilly frequently attacks those with whom he disagrees -- such as the Daily Kos and Huffington Post -- by comparing them to the Nazis. From the September 30 broadcast of The O'Reilly Factor: O'REILLY: "Body Language" segment tonight: Three interesting situations beginning with Speaker Pelosi's unbelievable monologue yesterday before the bailout vote. PELOSI [video clip]: Seven hundred billion dollars -- a staggering number but only a part of the cost of the failed Bush economic policies to our country. ... Now, eight years later, the foundation of that fiscal irresponsibility, combined with an anything-goes economic policy, has taken us to where we are today. O'REILLY: Which is chaos. With us now, the doyenne of body language, the queen of physical motion, Tonya Reiman. Now, when we last left Nancy Pelosi, you were saying that her hand gestures don't match -- REIMAN: Her verbal -- O'REILLY: -- what she's saying. REIMAN: Yeah. O'REILLY: It's the same thing here? REIMAN: I constantly see that. And one of the interesting things I saw tonight was, as she's pointing, it's like her fingers are stuttering. So, watch as she points. O'REILLY: The fingers are stuttering. REIMAN: It's almost as if there's a verbal exclamation point that she's trying to make as she makes a point. Watch. O'REILLY: There it is. There it goes. REIMAN: Ba-ba-boom. You see it? Ba-ba-boom. And she does this in this entire speech. I saw this consistently. And I always feel like her gestures are just too rehearsed. O'REILLY: Is it maybe she's just not coordinated? REIMAN: It's possible. That's absolutely possible. O'REILLY: You know? You know who Joe Cocker is? The singer, the rock singer -- Joe Cocker, OK? REIMAN: Yes. O'REILLY: He gets out there, and he's doing all this, and he's just not coordinated, you know? REIMAN: Right. But your gestures should be more natural. As we're talking, you know, there's certain gestures that are automatic. O'REILLY: Do you think that Nancy Pelosi, while she's giving a stem-winder speech like that, knows what her hands are doing? REIMAN: No. I think that what happens is she practices the speech too much and wants to come across as forceful and powerful, and uses gestures that she might think are forceful and powerful -- O'REILLY: OK. REIMAN: For instance, she started off with the rigid point. O'REILLY: So, she's practicing. REIMAN: I think she does practice, yes. O'REILLY: You know who used to do that, who practiced for hours before making a speech? And I'm not making any comparison here. So, don't -- you crazy left-wing websites out there, it's not a comparison. Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler practiced for hours, all of his -- REIMAN: Well, he was a nonverbal -- yeah. O'REILLY: -- all of his gestures and everything else before he went out there. So, if you practice your gestures, and then you get out there and you screw them up, you just -- you should just be natural. REIMAN: Well, his nonverbals were quite different. I mean, he had powerful -- O'REILLY: But let's get back to Pelosi. REIMAN: Yes -- right, yeah. O'REILLY: She's not natural. REIMAN: No, they don't come across as natural. O'REILLY: It's stilted.

I have a beautiful, fully furnished spare/guest bedroom that after 2 years (and a remodel) I figure someone ought to use. I have owned this two-bedroom flat in a beautiful two-unit Victorian for about 6 years (and two boyfriends later.) As I hope you can see from the photos below, the room is beautiful and I take a lot of pride in it and the house. This is an ideal place for a professional who needs a temporary place while they look for a permanent or for someone who commutes into the City during the week and wants a comfortable home while they're here. Flat also comes with two resident, very friendly cocker spaniels, but I'm not allowing additional pets. The pets are not allowed into your bedroom. The room is for 1 person only. No smoking allowed. The room: Fully-furnished bedroom in charming Victorian flat. Bright and sunny 12'x14' room with bay windows and (non-working) fireplace. Hardware floors. Beautifully furnished with queen-size four-poster bed and new mattress, matching 4 drawer-bureau and large armoire. A large over-stuffed leather chair and ottoman, as well as many antiques and decoratives finish off the room. Beautiful linens and towels are provided. The room has a 14" flat-screen TV with ditigal cable and DVD player. There is also a two-line telephone. The place: Hardwood floors. Large living room with large flat screen TV, DVR/Digital cable and DVD player. Very comfortable sofa and a Steinway grand piano (which really needs to be played more.) Separate dining room. Kitchen has new appliances, including a dishwasher, and is complete with beautiful dinnerware and loads of Calphalon. Bathroom is shared with me and was completely renovated last year with all new tile and fixtures, including a Jacuzzi tub. There is a full-size washer and dryer in the garage which is shared with the upstairs unit. No parking is included, but this is a very easy neighborhood for parking - my car is often parked outside just because of that. Rental is a month-to-month lease. $2,250 per month (or $1,750 per month if you're just here during the working week.) $2,500 refundable deposit in either case. Utilities, including telephone (except international calls) are included in the rent. Cleaning is also included - you just have to pick up after yourself. The area: One of the City's hidden gems of a neighborhood. On Divisadero Street just north of the Castro and above the Duboce Triangle (on the hill above Cal Pacific Davies Med Center) in one of two of the most desirable blocks of Divisadero in the City. A 5-minute walk to MUNI public transportation - both buses and trains. Easy walking distance to the Castro, The Haight and lower Haight, three parks and to Safeway. About me: I'm a late-forties professional single gay male (and looking to most likely stay that way for a while.) I work from home about 50% of the time and in general more hours than I would like. I'm pretty laid back, drama-free and very much a home-body - so like this place to feel like home. I love to cook and do so often. Not a partier, and keep hours of about 8am-11pm. I definitely want to feel comfortable bringing friends over and so should you. I'm not into a t.v. playing in the background at all hours, but do like a show or two each week and movies. About you: Friendly, fun, clean, honest and stable (emotionally and financially,) mature and considerate. I'm flexible on my future roommate's age, gender, sexual preference, religion, etc. I am tolerant - I just want somebody who will keep the place reasonably clean, pay the bills on time, and be nice to live with. No bringing the party home. Must love dogs. Besides clothes and personal items, you can't have a lot of possessions here - I just don't have the room. If you’re interested, send me an email here with some info about you (i.e. name/age/phone#/what you do/why you're looking for a place, etc) and we can figure out a time for you to see the place. I also have a lot more high rez photos I can email as well. Thank you! Good luck!

His father, a geologist, travelled throughout America and the young Noel Scott Engel never had time to settle for long in one place. Born in Ohio in 1943, he lived in Texas for a time and then in California. 'I never made friends that easily,' he says, sounding not at all regretful. 'I don't mind being on my own because when you're on your own a lot as a child, your imagination grows. That is still the case with me.'Wrapped up in his solitude, Walker can work on the lyrics of a single song for several years. On his last album, The Drift, a track called 'Cue' took six years to complete. 'It was the toughest song to write, but my most successful song lyrically,' he says, his mid-Atlantic tones soft but clear, his eyes half hidden beneath the peak of his ever-present baseball cap. 'It's sharp, it's angular, it all just chimes right. In that song, everything is exactly as I want it.' 'Cue', though, even by Scott Walker's recent standards, is a difficult song. The lyrics are dense and elliptical, the pace funereal and the atmosphere one of creeping anxiety. He delivers it in that doomy, semi-operatic tone that has long replaced the melodramatic flourish of his early solo albums. Featuring a chorus of wailing voices straight out of Dante's Inferno, it is not a song you would turn to for solace or uplift. It is, in fact, another of Scott Walker's musical excursions to hell. Can he appreciate why some of us find his later work wilfully impenetrable, too far out, in fact, to take in. 'Well, I never think that way,' he says, sighing. 'I think it sounds pretty normal so I'm kind of shocked when people say it's too much. For me,' he says, laughing, 'it's never far out enough.' We are sitting in the bright, airy living room of his manager's spacious house in London's leafy Holland Park, the place where Scott Walker chooses to suffer through the few interviews he grants these days. While no longer as reclusive as he once was - Mojo magazine once called him 'pop's own Salinger' - he remains one of music's most famous loners. 'I'm not a recluse,' he says at one point when I ask him what he does when he is not making music. 'I'm definitely not that. I have friends and I go to dinner. I like people, but sometimes I can't wait to get away and be on my own again. I am solitary, though. I need to be for my work. That's the deal.' Next week, he will break cover when the Barbican theatre hosts an ambitious series of concerts called Drifting and Tilting: the Songs of Scott Walker. The 70-minute programme will comprise eight songs taken from The Drift and 1995's equally challenging Tilt. Scott will be there each night, but not on stage, not singing. 'I'll help mix the live sound,' he says. 'I got spooked years ago about performing and never repaired the damage.' In his place will be a succession of guest vocalists including Jarvis Cocker, Damon Albarn, Dot Allison, Gavin Friday and classical baritone Grant Doyle. A 40-piece orchestra will also be in attendance alongside Walker's studio group and a contemporary dance troupe. 'It will be a tightrope walk,' he says. 'There is never enough time to prepare these things, but if it's going to be a train wreck, it will certainly be an interesting one. There will be one or two surprises, too.' Those surprises will not, alas, include performances of any of his older songs. There will be no 'Big Louise', in all its swooning sadness, no 'We Came Through' in all its galloping cavalry clatter, no 'Rosemary' or 'Jackie' in all their lovelorn glory. No Jacques Brel covers either, nor Walker Brothers hits. 'When we began discussing the event, it was taken as a given that Scott would not be singing and that none of his older work would feature,' says his friend and collaborator Michael Morris, co-director of Artangel, the arts company which specialises in ambitious, site-specific events. 'The performances will be dictated by the songs which are semi-operatic. The show will take the form of a semi-staged song cycle, almost like a lieder recital but a bit more dramatic. We're hoping,' adds Morris, 'that the audience doesn't clap between songs.'In person, Scott Walker does not look like a living legend. His clothes are casual - faded jeans, denim jacket, trainers - and his manner diffident but charming. Throughout the interview, he sits perched, thin and bird-like, on the edge of a huge, floral-patterned sofa as if, at any moment, he might take flight. He looks much younger than his 65 years but his eyes, when I catch a glimpse of them beneath that pulled-down baseball cap, have a flickering intensity that speaks of deep unease. It is hard to imagine that he was ever a heart-throb who induced mass hysteria. For a moment, though, back in the mid-Sixties, the Walker Brothers, who weren't brothers at all, were known as 'America's Beatles'. 'Oh, it was amazing at first,' he says, smiling, 'but a little goes a long way. I was not cut out for that world. I love pop music, but I didn't have the temperament for fame.'On their most famous song, and second No 1, 1966's 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore', he sang the prophetic lines: 'Loneliness is a cloak you wear, a deep shade of blue is always there'. He could have been describing his future self, both his personality and his music. The song was teenage heartbreak writ large and remains perhaps the most dramatic example of a certain strain of mid-Sixties pop melodrama, wherein everything - the music, the delivery, the production - was overloaded. It possesses what Johnny Marr would later describe as 'that gothic and beautiful gloom that was as much about England in the Sixties as was "Day Tripper"'.The group imploded in 1967, with Scott frustrated to the point of breakdown by the formula into which their songs had fallen. His aversion to fame, and the fan hysteria that came with it, sent him running for the hills. He spent a week in a monastery in 1966, and the following year, there were reports that he had attempted suicide. The Scott Walker who emerged on the solo albums that followed was a different kind of pop star, a crooner who veered between mainstream, Jack Jones-style balladeering and middle European angst. His hero was the Flemish chansonnier Jacques Brel, whose music he had been turned on to by a German Bunny Girl he had picked up at a party in the Playboy Club on Park Lane. 'I don't listen to Brel that much now,' he says, 'but in those days, hearing him sing was like a hurricane blowing through the room.' By 1969's Scott 4, on which his own songwriting finally came to the fore, his themes were darker and a quote from Camus graced the sleeve: 'A man's work is nothing but his slow trek to rediscover through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.' The pop idol had metamorphosed into an arbiter of existential angst. 'It has always been a certain kind of European writer who has captivated me,' he says. 'It started when I was a drop-out from high school in California and read Sartre, who I don't care for much now, but back then he had a huge impact on my way of thinking about the world. And Kafka, of course. Those writers were my main sources alongside the European films I saw in the Sixties in an art cinema on Wilshire Boulevard, Bergman and Kurosawa and the like.' Those solo records have influenced several generations of pop mavericks from Marc Almond and David Sylvian in the Eighties to the Divine Comedy a decade later. Jarvis Cocker is a fan and persuaded Walker to produce Pulp's 2001 album, We Love Life. Most recently, Alex Turner's other project, the Last Shadow Puppets, released their debut album, The Age of Understatement, which, despite its title, was a homage to Walker's orchestrated emotional melodramas.He wrote Scott 4, he says, 'on drink', and fell into depression when it failed to sell like its predecessors. 'I snapped,' he says. 'The pressure was everywhere and, in my crazy imagination, I thought, "I'd better keep doing this just to stay in the game."' In desperation, he reformed the Walker Brothers, and the band had chart success again with the single 'No Regrets'. But his heart was not in it, at least until they went into the studio to record Nite Flights, their valedictory album from 1978, on which he let loose the full force of his teeming imagination.At its centre is an extraordinary song called 'The Electrician', a symphonic ode to S&M that would not have sounded out of place on a Pasolini soundtrack. In the recent documentary film Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, an animated Brian Eno enthused about Nite Flights' sonic experimentation, while castigating the conservatism of most contemporary pop music. 'We haven't got any further than this,' he sighed. 'It's a disgrace.' The album still sounds otherworldly and futuristic. After it, though, came six years of silence and, with 1984's Climate of Hunter album, the beginning of the enigma that is Scott Walker Mk3. Gone was the musical extravagance of old, replaced by a minimalist sound that bordered on ambience. Only half the songs had actual titles. On the first line of the opening track, 'Rawhide', he sang: 'This is how you disappear.' Then he disappeared again. Tilt was 10 years in the making, The Drift another 11. They both sound, in their emotional and tonal extremity, like nothing else in contemporary music.'A lot of what I do is waiting,' he says. 'I begin always with the lyrics and they seem to take some considerable time. They have become more angular of late and now come in blocks of words. It's just a different way of writing. When I see the page and the lyrics, I see soldiers in a field. There's a lot of white space which represents me in a sense. It's an abstract way of putting it, but I see it that way visually.'His songs, he says, are clear to him, but he does not like having to explain or analyse them. He admits, though, that his recent music requires a certain amount of effort and patience from the listener. 'I try to avoid cliché. I want to make it sound like nothing I have ever heard before,' he says, his low Californian drawl still detectable after a 40-year exile in Europe. 'All that guitar-based rock stuff - I just feel like I've heard it before so many times. It goes on and on and never seems to end. It's just the same narrow ground being worked over. It would drive me mad to have to work within those parameters.' So he has gone the other way - into texture and dissonance. The music he makes with strangely tuned strings and off-key piano chords, is, he says, 'always dictated by the lyrics', which tend to be obscure and, at times, wilfully nonsensical. His songs often seem to be haunted by the darker narratives of the last century, by war, disease, displacement and genocide. 'Cue', for instance, seems to be about a bacterial plague carried by the 'flugleman' of the song's subtitle, a viral pestilence that spreads 'through the dormant wards and nurseries... in the lung-smeared slides and corridors'. In the documentary, the most revealing insight into his work comes from his orchestrator, Brian Gascoigne (brother of Bamber), who says: 'He believes, and I take issue with this, that to convey a very strong emotion in the music, you have to be feeling it when you're making it. That couldn't be true because the people who are playing Bruckner and Mahler every night would be basket cases... after three of four hours in the studio, he is a basket case because he lives the thing with such emotion.' How would Scott Walker describe his singular artistic sensibility? 'Essentially, I'm really trying to find a way to talk about the things that cannot be spoken of,' he says. 'I cannot fake that or take short cuts. There is an absurdity there, too, of course, and I hope that people pick up on that. Without the humour, it would just be heavy and boring. I hope,' he says, once more, 'people get that. If you're not connecting with the absurdity, you shouldn't be there.' Scott Walker's late music, in its evocation of anxiety and horror, may, as Michael Morris suggests, be more comparable with the paintings of Francis Bacon than with any musical contemporary. His songs, if they can still be called that, are as far from the drift of contemporary pop as one could possibly imagine. 'Oh, I have long since stopped worrying about fitting in in any way,' he says, laughing. 'I'm an outsider, for sure. That suits me fine. Solitude is like a drug for me. I crave it.' Why, though, does it take so long to make a record, write a song? 'A certain amount of it is about making it difficult for myself. I'm not interested in traditional narrative, say, or in having pat endings to the songs. I want the sense in my music of a constant moving forward into an open future.' Of late, though, his music often seems to be drifting towards the last final, awful silence. 'Perhaps,' he says, 'perhaps.' Does he ever, I ask, miss the old days, when his songs lasted three minutes, had verses and choruses and were easier to write? He laughs. 'Not really, no. I mean, back then, I could write a song like "Big Louise" in an evening. That would be good sometimes and, you know, I would do that if the lyrics demanded it.' Could he ever see that happening again? 'No. I write a different kind of song these days. There's not a lot of harmony and there aren't the thick textures I used to use. It's generally just big blocks of sound, raw and stark. A big emotional noise.' Another silence. 'Essentially, I am attempting the impossible over and over, trying to find a way to say the unsayable. For some reason,' he says, laughing, 'that just seems to take a lot longer.' ?

His father, a geologist, travelled throughout America and the young Noel Scott Engel never had time to settle for long in one place.

The rental price includes utilities (gas, water, and electricity). We are a professional couple in our 20s/30s who work full-time and are usually out and about on the weekend. We also have a 6 yr old cocker spaniel who loves attention. You are also welcome to come and speak with our current roomates (who are moving out in November).
