Wentworth Miller 'Still Working' On His Tree Trunk Arms
Wentworth Miller talked to Collider about preparing for his role as Chris Redfield in the upcoming movie Resident Evil: Afterlife, in theaters September 10.
The 37-year-old former Prison Break star said he Google Imaged "Chris Redfield" and visited various fan sites to see what his character looked like.
Went thought, "Wow, if what I'm seeing is an accurate representation, this guy is right out of the WWF. (laughs) His arms are like the size of tree trunks. Four weeks to prepare for this movie. That's not gonna happen."
When asked how close he got to those tree trunk arms, Went responded jokingly, "Still working on it. I'll let you know in Resident Evil 5." Hah!

A week into the 2013 legislative session, House and Senate leaders say they want to resolve questions about the state's budget and potential cuts in Medicaid before taking up dozens of tax cut proposals that are expected.
Arkansas Republicans who won control of the Legislature partly on a vow to cut state taxes say they're in no rush to take up any proposed reductions yet, but a key legislative leader in the debate wants a tax relief package to be "substantially larger" than the $35 million that legislators cut in a compromise two years ago.
A week into the 2013 legislative session, House and Senate leaders say they want to resolve questions about the state's budget and potential cuts in Medicaid before taking up dozens of tax cut proposals that are expected. The chairmen of the Revenue and Taxation committees in both chambers say they're a long way from considering any tax cuts before getting a sense of how much the state can trim in a proposed $4.9 billion budget.
"It's going to be hard to get five votes in here on tax cuts without having a justification for where the revenue is going to come from," said Sen. Jake Files, R-Fort Smith, who chairs the Senate committee.
Republicans are well poised to push for tax cuts in this year's session after winning control of the House and Senate in the November election. The GOP holds a majority of seats on the Revenue and Taxation committees in both chambers, and GOP legislators chair both panels.
But Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe has warned that there's no room in his proposed budget for any other tax relief. In his State of the State address last week, he said that's why he's tied his proposal to again cut the state's grocery tax to a drop in certain budget obligations, including court-mandated desegregation payments to three school districts.
"With the challenges we face, I don't see room to cut this tax at this time without endangering needed services. But I still want a plan for it," Beebe told the House and Senate last week.
Beebe, who campaigned in 2006 and 2010 on a pledge to nearly eliminate the grocery tax, has pointed to that approach as a sign of how tight the state's budget is.
"If I'm reluctant to do what is my top tax cut choice, that ought to tell you the seriousness with which I look at this total budget," he said this month.
So far, the leaders of the House and Senate aren't saying whether they support Beebe's grocery tax cut proposal and the idea of tying that reduction to certain budgetary triggers. Instead, they're looking at other tax cut proposals that they hope could be part of a compromise package on reductions.
Their aim is to have a package similar to one negotiated in the 2011 session, where legislative leaders and Beebe agreed on $35 million in reductions. That package include a cut in the grocery tax championed by Beebe, along with cuts in the taxes on manufacturers' utilities, single parents' income and used car sales.
"We gave tax cuts two years ago when nobody else was doing that and we balanced the budget. I would think we would be in that same shape again," said Sen. Larry Teague, D-Nashville, who co-chairs the Joint Budget Committee and is vice chairman of the Senate tax panel.
Though they praise the compromise package as a model for this year's negotiations, Republicans say they want to see more in tax relief.
"I'm very bullish that we can have something substantially larger," said Rep. Charlie Collins, R-Fayetteville, chairman of the House tax committee.
House Republicans are expected to push for a cut in the state's income taxes, and Collins said one option would be to phase in the reduction over time. Collins declined to offer specifics on the time period for a phased-in cut or the estimate on how much it would cost the state in revenue.
Collins said he views the coming weeks as "learning periods" for members to catch up on the state's budget process and revenue picture before tackling some of the proposals expected.
"I do look at it as more of a comprehensive picture than the wisest thing for us to do is hurry up and put a bunch of bills on the floor without understanding how all these pieces fit together," Collins said.
Senate Republicans say they're more interested in pursuing tax cuts that they believe would help attract businesses to the state. Senate President Michael Lamoureux has said cutting taxes on manufacturers' utilities and on replacement parts are two options they may consider.
"It's not a foregone conclusion, but I'd be surprised if there were not any tax cuts," Lamoureux, R-Russellville said. "I'd be surprised if we didn't do something on the grocery tax, I'd be surprised if we didn't do something in addition to that, but how big and what that is remains to be determined."

Windows 8: IE10, Touchscreen Keyboards and File System Accessby Anand Lal Shimpi on June 2, 2011 12:18 AM EST

- Windows 8
Microsoft showed us IE10 on Windows 8, which honestly has a very iOS-like feel to it. You get smooth scrolling and panning, with a PlayBook style support for tabs. It's amazing how much of the Windows 8 UI looks a lot like RIM's first tablet.
The URL bar is hidden by default but it's actually at the bottom of the screen when revealed. Microsoft has a couple of touchscreen keyboard options, a standard mobile OS keyboard and a split version that lets you type with two thumbs while holding a tablet.
Microsoft also showed that you've got full access to the underlying file system regardless of whether you're in standard Windows mode or the new tile based start screen with lighter weight HTML5 apps.
Overall I'm very impressed with what Microsoft has shown thus far. It's a pretty well done mix of a tablet based UI without giving up the traditional Windows interface.

Belegost - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkThat really looks slick. I'm sure that's running on PC level hardware, so I don't know how smooth it will be on cutdown tablet hardware, but that was really a smooth demo.
I think this will really make the touchscreen all-in-one PC useful. Now I could stick a little 22" machine in my kitchen and use it to look up recipes, watch videos, etc. Also great for reception desks, with the touchscreen placed flat on the desk.
And the split keyboard for thumb typing ... so bloody obvious I cannot believe I haven't seen it done for Android and iOS. I have a feeling it will be standard within a short time. Reply

yyrkoon - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkYou mean. Just trying to copy Apple, ripping off BSD ?
Funny how office 2007 was somehow a rip off of some OSX app, where to be perfectly honest. It looks like NOTHING in OSX I've ever seen.
Windows 7 was supposed to look similar to OSX in nature. And yet . . . I do not see any crappy desktop icons any where . . .
Oh, and looky now. OSX is getting nailed by tons of security exploits, they must be copying Microsoft !
Mac defender ? why does that sound familiar ?
Not to mention that Win8 is not slated for release until when exactly ? After that, I expect Microsoft will make their own systems to sell with their OS, and overcharge for them.
Move along people, nothing new to see here. Reply
TEAMSWITCHER - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkApple's UI did not rip off BSD...
OSX is not getting nailed by MacDefender..it's a minor exploit, easy to remove, even easier to avoid...
As for overcharging, you paid $100 for Windows 7 Home Premium. I paid $30 for Snow Leopard - Ultimate...

Keep Your Family From Finding Your 'Adult Film Collection' Collection After You Die
What do you think would happen if, upon your departure from this mortal Earth, your family found out that you were an active part of a nipple-biting subculture, or stumbled upon your sizeable Russian horse and prosthetic masturbation porn collection ? We can tell you this - it would definitely change the tone of the eulogy.
For those of you that would rather not have your family discover that before you died you diddled a silicone Sally sex doll and kept a bondage donkey locked in the basement, perhaps you should consider making arrangements with a "Deceased Belongings Clean-Up Service."
Companies, like Keepers, who specialize in cleaning up all proof of a person's indiscretions at the time of their death, are becoming quite a hot commodity in Japan. In fact, Keepers owner Taichi Yoshida says that ever since he opened the business in 2000, he has been quite busy keeping the freaky, post-mortem secrets of upstanding Japanese citizens from ever being revealed to their families.
Yoshida says that he has gotten rid of evidence of everything from women's underwear to proof of mistresses and illegitimate children – all things, he says, that threaten to destroy a person's public persona.
Unfortunately, we are not aware of any services like this here in the states. So unless you want to be remembered as some sort of sexual deviant, you might want to go ahead and get rid of that high voltage nut clamp and the Salad Tosser 3000 now.

Last week was our anniversary and all told we had a wonderful heartwarming time: nice dinner, Off-Broadway show, gifts (more "sweet" than of any actual value), and reminiscing about everything we've been through and accomplished together. You can pack a lot of living into 5 mostly wonderful years of married life (plus the 2 together prior), and after being left displaced by Sandy it was so nice to be able to have some time on our own to indulge and support and build up each other as husband and wife - without having to "stay strong" for our kids.
Playfully during the evening I had also been reminding my wife of our early sexual history: where / when of first kiss, really making out, exploring each other naked, oral, real sex, titfucking, 69, public, no condom - the firsts of all of them. She remembered most of it. It was really cute, we had a sweet back and forth going. We love talking about sex but it's been hard lately - life gets in the way, kids underfoot, you know how it is.
Then we got back to our hotel room and - at HER SUGGESTION - I throatfucked her like I've never been able to experience before. She's been fairly okay about oral as far as wives go I guess - it's always best when you first start dating, real life gets in the way, kids get in the way, work hours get longer, sex gets pushed to the very end of the night and she's even more exhausted then I am, maybe a "special occasion" blah blah. All my married friends tell me the same story (or much worse).
But last week as something very special to me I pinned her upside down and fucked her throat and as she squeezed my ass and pushed me it was clear she wanted it ALL. I've never in my life gotten full deepthroat. I posted pics here once, you can look in my history and see everything she gulped. Never had any girl get past maybe 2/3rds, including my wife. Well this time I soaked the whole thing in her juicy throat, ballsack stretching around her nose, her chin pushing hard into my lower abdomen as I went for broke and vigorously deeply slowly all the way in and out fucked her beautiful face and beyond, slowly fucked her slippery clutching throat as deep as any cunt, reveling in the pure joy of my first ever total consumption and the new feeling of having every last millimeter soaked with slobber and squeezed by her lips. I slowly fucked her neck and throat actively, powerfully, just like a cunt, but it felt better because I knew it wasn't a cunt, it was something new and special. I'd shove it all -ALL! - slowly down her slick hot throat and then stay still, rocking gently back and forth.
It was just like those awesome filthy deepthroat pornos I'd seen for years, but less degrading (don't get me wrong, I like degrading) even though much of the same happened. I'd rest all the way down her throat and shed cough and gag, so I'd pull out and drag huge streamers of mucusy throat slobber out with me. I was encouraging her the whole time and saying how special this was for me. Sometimes I'd ask her if she was ready for more again, sometimes I'd rest the head on her lips and when she was ready she'd open up.
We got a rhythm going: I'd nestle all the way down her and kind of slightly rock back and forth for maybe 7-8 seconds at a time then pull out. She was pinned under me - I'm very "dom" and she is NOT a "sub" at all, so I've just dealt without it - and this is by far the most "dom" thing I've been able to do with her. I'd stroke her chest and flanks and thighs to calm her, like soothing an animal, knowing she was really exerting herself, knowing she was totally underneath me and that if something went wrong it would be terrible for her, keeping her calm, whispering to her. I slowly full-length deepthroat fucked her like a never-before-fully-felt cunt for over 12 minutes. From a physical perspective I had never felt so accepted, so trusted, so pleasured, so important, so powerful, so special, and so loved.
For her part she was incredibly stimulated. Her pussy got wet way faster than usual and when i leaned over to tongue her I swear on my life that she came in less than 90 seconds. It usually takes at least 5-10 minutes of oral to finish her off but this time it was already like I'd been fucking her at both ends. With my whole entire cock nested loved and protected and worshipped inside her upper half, as I licked her to climax I FELT her every moan and squeal through my cock like an antenna. There was so much of a difference between the usual 2/3rds and the whole thing!
Loved loved loved loved LOVED having my balls roll and drag all over her nose and cheeks too. It was like "here honey, our kids are awesome, here's up close where they came from!"
Finally and again at her suggestion I hauled it all out of the new cunt she'd just shared with me and came all over her face. Couldn't believe my ears. That was AMAZING - in 7 years it was the 3rd facial ever, and the only time she'd ever asked for it. She hates facials. Tells me they are humiliating and degrading and every time she does blow me she warns me not to do it. It's seriously been like over 6 years. But she told me to do it. She gave that to me - abandoned her pride for a little while to give everything, everything to me. Maybe the most powerful orgasm of my life.
Afterwards I cleaned her, held and cuddled her and we both recovered together.... how does your body handle it when its lifelong dream comes true? I was shaking, felt weak, we held each other and talked about how much we loved each other. I said I was almost sorry she came so fast because she deserved way more time than that and she kind of blushed (blushed! With me - her husband!). And I asked her how she'd finally been able to swallow all of me and she said she'd found tips online for how to prepare. For real I started to cry a little bit, at the mental image of my wife actually practicing to prepare herself to give me something no woman ever had and make my fantasy come true, plus her consenting to a facial and "getting over it" enough to really treat me like a king. There were more sweet words and cuddling, then I gave her a foot massage for about 40 minutes (lasted thru Saturday Night Live past the "weekend update" part.)
Like I said it may have been the ultimate physical and fantasy experience of my life and it meant so much to me that she'd prepped and worked so hard to make it come true (and of course I told her that!).
I love porn and raunchy extreme sex but when it is done out of true love and devotion, giving yourself to your partner because they are that important to you, and supporting each other all the way - it's beyond words! Here I am still in the mental / testosteral afterglow - I promised myself I wouldn't cry, should probably go on Oprah to talk about my feelings, lol
Would love to hear other people's stories of how extreme, past-the-boundaries sex has been mixed with the purity and devotion of a longterm loving relationship.
And I knew long before then that she was the best wife ever!

December 15 – The Holiday Happenings!
Often times December to mid-January birthdays and anniversaries get over shadowed by the Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year holidays. So we're going to shine a spotlight on those family members and ancestors this time around. Select one or more December to mid-January birthdays and/or anniversaries on your family tree. Write a short tribute to or memory of those birthday guys and gals and write a toast to the anniversary couples.
As I go through my tree I see quite a few people with birthdays and even some anniversaries during the December - January time frame. One of my kids falls into that, with a December birthday. I also have a friend whose birthday is ON Christmas Day. A new baby might be a neat Christmas surprise for a family, but I've gotta think it's a lousy day to have a birthday, growing up. Never at school to bring treats and have a party, always overshadowed by the holiday itself. Only one special gift day every year, rather than two, even if you might get extra gifts on that day.
For my son we do go out of the way to make an extra celebration for his birthday, and don't let it get blended into the holidays. He's always had a separate birthday party with guests and cake and people visiting.
So, to my middle child, a toast! You are special! We remember your birthday, and refuse to let it get lost in the shuffle. May you always have friends and family who share your special day with you. Your patience is rewarded with a double-whammy of good times at the end of the year.

Wild Streak Ends Despite Dominating Performance
The Minnesota Wild saw their modest three game winning streak end with a 4-1 loss at Toronto Tuesday night. Minnesota outshot the Maple Leafs 37-14 but could only beat Leafs goaltender James Reimer once.
Toronto scored the game's first two goals in the opening period. The first was a power play goal at 4:24 by Tyler Bozak, and the second a Trevor Smith goal at 13:51 at even strength.
The Wild got on the board late in the first period with Jason Pominville scoring his third of the season at 17:27. The power play goal was assisted by Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise.
Mason Raymond's power play goal at 12:23 of the second period would be the last allowed by Minnesota goalie Darcy Kuemper, who allowed three goals on just seven shots.
The Maple Leafs completed the scoring with Raymond's second of the game, in the third period.
The Wild are now 3-2-2 and will head to Tampa Bay for a game with the Lightning Thursday night.

SparkCon is an annual art festival intended to showcase, celebrate and influence the creative talents of the Triangle region of North Carolina (the home of our headquarters). One of the many facets of the festival is the Raleigh Street Painting Event where hundreds of artists come together to transform Raleigh's Fayetteville Street into a giant art gallery. Last month 2 members of the Performance creative team, web designer Jennifer Kunkel and print designer Rob Morales, decided to join forces and showcase their talent with some sidewalk art for the masses.
Things started a bit rocky, to say the least. Awake before noon on a Saturday, and far from the safety of their cubicles, Jen and Rob initially felt intimidated working in a medium as foreign as chalk and concrete. However, they quickly got the hang of it and set off adorning their respective six-foot sections of sidewalk.
Over the next three hours, what emerged from the gravel and chalk dust was a diptych narrative addressing the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle. Rob's piece titled "Couch Potato" depicts the fate of those living in a world without exercise. Confined to his couch, the potato watches television and wishes for better things.
Meanwhile Jen's "Monsieur Le Fry" was a much more light-hearted piece that found the same potato transformed into a "skinny fry" burning calories on a whimsical bike ride through the forest.
Those visiting Fayetteville Street that day were visibly moved by the power of Rob and Jen's work, staring in awe for minutes on end before leaving to undoubtedly find their nearest Performance Bicycle store.

The average U.S. price of gasoline jumped 18 cents a gallon in the past two weeks due to rising costs of crude oil and related concerns about tensions in the Middle East, although supplies of fuel remained plentiful in most of the country, according to the Lundberg Survey.
The national average cost for a gallon of regular gasoline rose to $3.69 on Feb. 24, according to the nationwide survey of gasoline stations.
To capitalize on the higher gas price, CNBC's Jim Cramer says oil and gas drilling companies are shifting away from natural gas and focusing more on oil. The Lundberg Survey suggests the price of gas isn't likely to fall anytime soon, so Cramer thinks these companies may enjoy increased profits for some time.
Given the continued shift to oil, Cramer thinks select oil and gas names can be bought on dips. Click ahead for his preferred plays.

Cat scratch disease is a bacterial infection carried in cat saliva. It is passed from a cat bite or scratch to a human. It can also result from a fleabite, but cats are the main source.
Cat scratch disease is caused by the germ Bartonella henselae. The cat or kitten usually appears healthy. The cat licks its paws then scratches or bites the child. If your child rubs his or her eyes after petting a cat's fur, this can also spread cat scratch disease. Young kittens less than 1 year of age are more likely to scratch. The increases the risk for infection.
The following are the most common symptoms of cat scratch disease:
The symptoms of cat scratch disease may not appear for more than a week after the child is scratched. Sometimes the delay can be as long as 6 weeks. The symptoms may look like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your child's healthcare provider will ask whether your child has had exposure to cats or kittens. He or she will look for a small bump where the cat scratch has occurred. The provider will check for any swollen lymph nodes. Lab tests are available, but many tests are not considered reliable.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Cat scratch disease will usually go away without treatment. But your child may need to take antibiotic medicine.
Complications are not common. When they happen, they may include problems with the nervous system, body organs, or eyes.
Do not let your child play roughly with cats or kittens. Doing so can increase the chances of a scratch or bite. If your child does get a cat bite or scratch, wash the area right away with soap and water.
Cat owners should use products to prevent fleas.
Call your child's healthcare provider if your child develops swollen lymph nodes after being scratched or bitten by a cat.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's healthcare provider:

Now, there are a lot of really awesome things about working at the National Air and Space Museum. But I have to say, meeting an astronaut has got to be way up there. Last Thursday there was a Meet an Astronaut program at the Museum with Dr. Thomas Marshburn who, two months ago, returned from a 5 month stint in the International Space Station. It was awesome.
Some other interns and I got there a few minutes before they were scheduled to begin, but they weren't letting anybody else in for the time being (the lecture was in the Moving Beyond Earth exhibit which has a stage and a really cool layout incorporating in a model of the Discovery space shuttle but it doesn't have a lot of room). So for the first minute or two, we listened from just outside the exhibit room and watched on a screen. But then, when they realized we were interns, they let us in. NASM badge to the rescue!
It was extremely interesting listening to Dr. Marshburn talk about his experiences living and working in space. He showed a video that was shot in the ISS and narrated along with it live, pointing out the especially interesting parts and telling anecdotal instances he thought might interest audience. After the video was over, he spoke a bit more and then opened the floor to questions. The questions ranged in askers (from small children to professionals on their lunch breaks) and in topic (from "what did you miss most" – answer: wife, daughter, cheeseburgers – to "from a medical perspective, how long has it taken for your body to adjust to being back on earth" (answer: after two months, his body is finally close to being back to how it was before he went to space; because there isn't any gravity in space, his muscles and bones atrophied after months of very minimal use and once he returned he had to build them back up again.) which made for an extremely interesting talk.
Opening up the floor to questions meant that topics were brought up that I would never have considered or known about otherwise. I learned that it's nearly impossible to shower in space (you know, no gravity and all…) and therefore astronauts just use wet wipes and dry shampoo. I learned about the different projects occurring on the ISS. And I learned that Thomas Marshburn returned to earth via a small Soyuz spacecraft just big enough for the three astronauts it carried which deploys a parachute as it enters the Earth's atmosphere and lands in the desert. Welcome back to Earth.
I loved that the Museum allowed anybody who attended the free lecture to ask a question. It made the whole event feel very inclusive and enabled everyone to get involved. The lecture should eventually be available online, although as of posting it's not yet up. It should hopefully be available soon. When it is, I would highly recommend checking it out: http://airandspace.si.edu/events/webcasts.cfm
It was after the event was over that the event title "Meet an Astronaut" came true for the interns. Anybody in the museum was invited to meet Dr. Marshburn or get him to sign something (one man in line had a book filled with astronaut signatures, which seems like a pretty cool thing to collect). When it came to be our turn to meet Dr. Marshburn, all the interns pretty much realized we had nothing for him to sign. We all introduced ourselves to him and explained that we were NASM interns, and he agreed to take a picture with us. So we all gathered together and took a group picture, which was really nice of him and a great souvenir from the experience.
So basically, I came to work that day, thinking it was going to be just any other day, but instead I listened to lecture about living in space from an expert on that topic and got a picture with an astronaut. But really, the fact that the day took such an awesome turn really shouldn't have come as a surprise to me. It's just another day at the National Air and Space Museum.

Wanted: Lightweight Female-Only Cabin Crew
Indian budget carrier Go Airlines says it will stop hiring male flight attendants—because they weigh too much and so cause the planes to use more costly fuel. The WSJ's Mariko Sanchanta and Jeffrey Ng talk about Go Air's hiring policy and gender discrimination in the airline industry.

MILLVALE, OH (FOX19) - The Hamilton County Prosecutor announced Thursday the mother accused of smothering her toddler last week in Millvale has been indicted on several charges.
Janishcia Cottingham, 23, is facing one count of aggravated murder, murder, and felonious assault.
Police got a call last Thursday shortly before 2 p.m. that there was a toddler not responding at a townhome on Bowling Green Court. Upon arrival, police found Robin Cottingham, 15 months, unresponsive in a crib in the living room.
Police say no one was home when they arrived.
Robin Cottingham was pronounced dead at the scene by the Hamilton County Coroner's Office, who later determined she was smothered to death. The coroner ruled Robin's death a homicide on Thursday.
Her mother, Janishcia, was later arrested and charged in connection with Robin's death.
Cottingham's father, Robert Midell, says the toddler was previously handed over to Job and Family Services (JFS) by the mother. Midell says he was then called by an agent asking to pick up the child, who remained in his custody until he also had to turn the toddler over to JFS, to get himself "situated and established."
According to Midell, the agency gave Robin Cottingham back to the mother.
"There was nothing that would have indicated that this would have been the outcome. Again, there was no prior history with this family. The child, never in the process did anyone say the child was abused or neglected or had concerns about her being abused or neglected," said JFS Director Moira Weir.
Janishcia Cottingham's grandmother, Belinda, says it was clear Janishcia needed mental health services, but those services were never delivered.
"All she needed was help. She cried out for help. The state failed her. The state Job and Family Services failed her," said Belinda.
Weir couldn't go into details but says help was being provided.
"The family in this situation was very engaged and was working with us, and the family was facilitating all the arrangements," she said.
Those arrangements apparently fell short Thursday when Janishcia arrived at her grandmother's house appearing very disoriented and without her daughter Robin.
"Since she didn't have the baby, and she wasn't acting like herself, I contacted the Housing Authority and asked for emergency entrance and that's when they found the baby," Belinda explained.
Cottingham is being held on a $1 million bond. If convicted of all charges, she faces the possibility of life in prison without parole.

Raising two boys (three if you count my husband), there are a few things that are always on our family's radar. Common questions we always hear are, "What are we doing today?" and "What's for dinner?". All the while, trying to find the most adventurous and exciting ways to spend family time. Medieval Times combined both entertainment and food into a dynamic family night!
From the time we told our boys where we were going, they were overwhelmed with excitement. As we pulled into the parking lot, we had non-stop chatter of questions and comments about the castle and everything they could see from the outside. Our three-year-old daughter didn't understand what Medieval Times was but she had seen enough princess movies to get really excited when she caught a glimpse of the castle.
As we entered the castle, we were warmly greeted by staff in full dress and character. As a kid, my grandparents use to take me and my siblings to Medieval Times, so, of course, I had to follow tradition and get the kids Shirley Temples. They were feeling like royalty before ever stepping foot into the actual show arena. Their attention was kept by the detailed decoration and the many wonderfully displayed souvenirs. Our boys wound up leaving with a couple daggers they purchased with their Christmas money!
After being seated on the front row, we were enthusiastically met by our waitress for the evening. She explained what to expect and quickly began serving our drinks and meal for the evening (which was delicious, by the way!). Our family enjoyed all of the meal but the chicken was a big hit!
Throughout the show, our table was filled with "oohhhhs", "ahhhs", and "did you see that?". Between the dancing horses, the jousting knights, the flying falcons, and the amazing sword fights the show was packed with non-stop excitement and thrills that kept our family entertained throughout the entire show! All three kids are already begging to go back. Step back into time with YOUR family for a knight of fun!

Langston's KidRobot-Inspired Home
Name: Langston Clement
Location: Bella Vista, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Size: 925 square feet
Years lived in: 7 months; Rented
I first met Langston while I was working part-time at Hello Home and immediately, I was struck by how, well… likeable he was. He was somewhat quiet, but easygoing, with a sense of restrained energy bubbling just below the surface. Later, when J, the owner of Hello Home, opened his new store, Industry, he hired Langston to be the DJ for the grand opening. And it was there that I caught a glimpse of him in his element, rocking the house and as cheerful and engaging as ever.
By day, Langston works as a tech guru, and by night he's DJ FOXX Boogie, as well as one-half of Control Freaks, a Philadelphia-based music partnership. Not surprisingly, Langston's home melds these disparate interests perfectly. It's colorful, but considered. It's urban, but restrained. It's light and bright, and every object has a story. Because when it comes to decking out his pad, Langston always has his eye out for just the right thing. It might be a table left behind by an old tenant, a bench from a closing skate shop, or a gadget that's caught his eye on eBay.
When it comes to furniture, he prefers the clean, simple lines of modern pieces, and has a special soft spot for mid-century pieces in particular. He's also a graffiti art fan and staunch supporter of local artists, and has commissioned several pieces which hang throughout the apartment. There's nothing he likes better than telling an artist to do whatever they want, or to just "use some orange in it," and then seeing what they create. In short, Langston's home reflects the many facets of his personality, and as such, it's as much of an animated mix as he is.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Light, airy, street art inspired/Urban Minimalist.
Inspiration: Graffiti and designer art toys. I wanted to walk into this place and almost feel like I stepped into a KidRobot store. The idea was to keep things light and airy, incorporate bright pops of color throughout, then tie it together with a modern and cozy feel. I had a nice collection of graffiti canvases from years of DJing for a local street art gallery, so I decided to add a few more talented Philly artists to the mix in order to fill up wall space and brighten things up. When I had a new piece commissioned, I would go to the store and hand pick a couple of vibrant graffiti colors for the artist to work with in order to switch up the color palette in the apartment. Overall, I love all the pieces and I think it makes the space look a lot more fun and animated.
Favorite Element: The 1970 JVC Videosphere space helmet TV in the bedroom. When I was in Denver this past summer I stopped by the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art and as I was walking throughout their amazing collection, this piece caught my eye. I'm obsessed with any 60/70's retro piece that has an ultra-modern feel and looks like it belongs to the Jetsons. When I saw this piece my jaw dropped. The TV displays the picture in black and white and was designed with a built in chain so it can be hung from the ceiling, so it was a no-brainer that I had to find one of these.
Biggest Challenge: The lack of electrical outlets. Because it's an older building I had to be a bit clever when I set everything up. I ran an extension cord across the living room and flushed it against the baseboard so that you can barely tell it's there in order to power all of the lights and devices. I also set up cable boxes in order to hide the wire clutter and to keep a minimalist, stress free aesthetic.
What Friends Say: They're impressed. Once they look around they tend to compliment me on all the "neat things" I have in my place. I jump on that moment to talk about mid-century modern design and explain to them how they can have fun with just a few cool pieces mixed in with their own style. Some of them look at me like I have three heads but some actually appreciate it and listen.
Biggest Embarrassment: The kitchen. It's not quite up to par with the rest of the apartment. I was left with mismatched cabinets and an awkward cubby that I use for storage. So I do my best to keep everyone distracted with the living room and bedroom and keep them away from that area.
Proudest DIY: I have two. Can I do that? I'm doing it. The first is the custom made coffee table. Having no woodworking skills whatsoever, it was a huge pain to build, but after the long process it came out better than I thought. I used a stain called Driftwood and the light greenish color tied it all together better than the natural stain I was initially going to use. The second was spray painting the Ikea bed frame that I've owned for a long time. Since I couldn't afford a new bed frame from BluDot or CB2 I decided to freshen it up with a light graffiti color. It really complements all the natural light and brightness that comes into the bedroom.
Biggest Indulgence: Gadgets. I'm a huge tech nerd, and there are a lot of neat toys hidden and scattered throughout the apartment. Overall, the most used is the master touch screen remote that controls everything — the TV, lights, ceiling fan, game consoles and music on the fly. I'm also converting the 1946 General Electric (GE) radio on the bookshelf with an iPod dock that will work with the pre-existing volume knobs/controls.
Best Advice: Ramp up in the beginning. Don't wait months down the road to finally fill up your space. You want to come home and relax, not feel like you live in an unfinished project. Before you know it certain ideas will remain incomplete, so get it done while you still have the motivation and then enjoy your place. Design tips? Commission a few local artists to fill your wall space and stop buying boring furniture!

The oohing and ahhing over the world's only remaining manually operated big-city cable car system will begin shortly. But first, let's admit a few things:
That rats congregate near the cable car turntable by Ghirardelli Square. That panhandlers still plague the gritty turntable at Powell and Market streets. That $6 a ride would be one of the worst public transit bargains in the West, if these cars were really about public transit. That some conductors and gripmen are as rude as the hills are steep. That for prompt cross-town travel in daylight hours, the Powell Street lines are about as practical as a Ferris wheel.
Yet as many a San Franciscan can tell you, the heart wants what the heart wants. And our tourist hearts want cable cars. The ringing bell. The wind in our hair. The first sight of Alcatraz as we crest Russian Hill. The heavy scent of lubricated machinery navigating a 15% grade. The humming street and nervously grinning first-timers. I know now that this three-line system costs about $30 million per year more than it earns, but that old Rice-A-Roni jingle just keeps playing in my head.
And so, to sort these feelings and facts, photographer Mark Boster and I are riding every line, morning, noon and night.
Now it's a busy June morning at Powell and Market, and we're in line to board. In the first five minutes of our 20-minute wait, we meet six panhandlers and a busker serenading families with that old Ramones favorite "Beat on the Brat." Then we board, and the car lurches ahead. Union Square flashes past on the right, the Westin St. Francis Hotel on the left. Giddy tourists clutch their kids, abandon their personal space to stand knee-to-knee with a sitting stranger, snap self-portraits and wave at the sidewalk hordes. A woman from out of town tries to convince the conductor that he has undercharged her.
"Are you going to tell me how to do my job?" the conductor asks, flashing a grin that might be playful or condescending. "Would you like to drive the car next?"
Later, cresting Russian Hill at Lombard Street, that conductor yanks the brake.
"Crookedest street in the world!" he calls out. "Unless you count Wall Street!" To our right, Lombard Street's gardens bloom in Technicolor. Beyond, Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower. Alcatraz is dead ahead.
About 20 minutes after starting, we roll up to the Powell-Hyde turntable in grassy Victorian Park. There, hundreds more tourists await their turns (and have been waiting longer than their ride will last). On a day of mild weather, who can name a prettier place to stand in line?
Video: Chris Reynolds in San Francisco
Yet hours later, as the evening deepens and another crop of passengers waits, a rat scurries from the bushes past the feet of a guitarist playing "Hotel California." Then another one (rat, that is) dashes across the tracks.
"This is the rat kingdom," one cable car gripman tells me. In the headquarters of the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park, which controls the space, public affairs officer Lynn Cullivan acknowledges the "ongoing struggle" between man and wharf rat.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency operates 40 cable cars. They roll on three lines — Powell-Hyde, Powell-Mason and California Street — that together cover 8.8 miles. They top out at 9.5 mph. Starting just before 6 a.m. and stopping between 1 and 2 a.m., they board about 19,000 passengers a day.
To digest these numbers properly, we head for Mason and Washington streets, where a big, old brick building harbors the spinning wheels and humming machines that keep the cables and cars moving. This landmark, skirted by the Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason lines, is the nerve center of the cable car system, also known as the powerhouse and the car barn. One floor is dedicated to a free Cable Car Museum, where you can see the only remaining car from the city's original 1873 cable car line, buy a 3-inch length of retired cable for $34.99 or look down on the spinning, roaring innards of the system.
That's one way to take in the big picture. Another is to nurse a coffee at Caffé Cento at Powell and California streets atop Nob Hill — the only corner where all three lines converge. This is the spot where I realized that if cable cars hadn't been born here, H.G. Wells and Jules Verne would have jointly hallucinated them between midnight sips of absinthe on a Montmartre rooftop.
If you have time for only one ride, take the Powell-Hyde line, which is the longest and the one with the Alcatraz and Lombard Street views and the turntable near Ghirardelli Square. Traveling northbound, cars turn left on Jackson Street and right on Hyde. (To admire the maneuver from a stationary point, hop off at 1500 Hyde St. and have a glass of wine by the big windows of Nook.) Alas, the Powell-Hyde is also the most crowded line. After this trip, I may never attempt it between 9 a.m. and nightfall.
The Powell-Mason line, Powell-Hyde's nonidentical twin, starts at the same gritty Powell-Market turntable, climbs Nob Hill, jogs left at Jackson and straightens again at Mason Street. But the journey ends with a whimper, not a bang — no Alcatraz, no Lombard, just a turntable at Bay Street, near the soul-numbing souvenir shops of not-quite-waterfront Fisherman's Wharf.
That leaves the line that many tourists miss — the California Street line, an East-West beeline between Van Ness Avenue and the Financial District. It needs no turntable because its cars are designed differently. It often carries more commuters than tourists. From Nob Hill, you can gaze down a canyon lined by skyscrapers to the distant swoop of the Bay Bridge. You could hop off at 240 California St. for seafood and nostalgia at the Tadich Grill, maybe the city's oldest eatery.
But if you're a trainspotter, you may prefer to hop off in Chinatown, as I did one morning, and walk two blocks north to Clay Street. Now, take a good look up and down and notice the lack of magic.
This was the route that cable car inventor Andrew Smith Hallidie chose for the first line in 1873. It climbed Clay from Kearny Street, eventually reaching Van Ness, at grades of up to 16%. It's long gone, of course. And the rest of the cable cars would be gone too, if transit logic ruled the day. Luckily for us, San Francisco knows it's in the business of being pretty, and the cable cars are the twinkle in its eyes.
The cable car is dead. Long live the cable car.
Timeline: A history of cable cars in San Francisco
Since Andrew Smith Hallidie opened the first line in 1873, the cable car lines have endured cheaper streetcars, earthquakes and politicians.
1873 Andrew Smith Hallidie, a British immigrant and failed gold miner, opens the first cable car line in the U.S., the half-mile Clay Street Hill Railroad, which surmounts Nob Hill. Using machinery inspired by mining tools, Hallidie's cars climb Clay from Kearny Street by clamping on to a continuously moving loop of steel cable, which is powered by coal-fed engines in a powerhouse. As Hallidie later writes, "It does not frighten horses or endanger lives."
890s Cable cars run on California Street, Clay Street, Columbus Avenue, Geary Street, Market Street and others — but most are doomed. Across America, faster and cheaper streetcars (powered by overhead electric wires) are taking over.
1906 The San Francisco earthquake and fires lay waste to the city. In reconstruction, many cable car companies switch to streetcars. A handful of cable car lines endures.
1947 Mayor Roger Lapham, a big believer in buses, declares that "the city should get rid of all cable car lines as soon as possible." Activist Friedel Klussmann disagrees, starts a Citizens' Committee to Save the Cable Cars and wins passage of a ballot measure to protect part of the cable car system.
1958 The pasta-making DeDomenico family of San Francisco, inspired by a neighbor's old Armenian recipe, combines rice and macaroni and calls it Rice-A-Roni. Somebody writes a jingle about "the San Francisco treat." A TV ad campaign with cable cars is launched and lasts into the '90s.
1962 Road & Track magazine, best known for its car reviews, runs a tongue-in-cheek review of "the ultimate town car … upholstered throughout in wood," with an unladen weight of 8 tons. In other words: a cable car on the Powell-Hyde line.
1982 Cable car service, run by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (Muni), is suspended for two years as authorities begin rehabilitating an old and faltering system.
1984 The cable cars return to service with a parade up Powell Street led by the U.S. Marine Corps band. The system now has three lines covering 8.8 miles.
1997 The Powell-Hyde line turntable, near Ghirardelli Square, is renamed for Friedel Klussmann.
1998 Fannie Mae Barnes, a 52-year-old single mom with notable upper-body strength, becomes the cable car system's first female grip operator.
2013Associated Press finds that in the last 10 years, the city's cable cars have been involved in 126 accidents, with 151 people injured and no fatalities. AP cites about four dozen legal claims and settlement payments of nearly $8 million. About 7 million passengers board cable cars yearly.

San Francisco's streetcars: Where history meets convenience
The colorful vehicles are a quick and cheap option to cable cars, and there's plenty to see along the routes.
They have no Rice-A-Roni jingle, but the streetcars of San Francisco are worth knowing. Their six-mile route (also known as the F Market & Wharves line) is shaped like a 7, with the Ferry Building at the elbow joint.
You can ride them along the Embarcadero between Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building. Or you can take them down Market Street to the Castro District. A streetcar holds more people, rolls two or three times as fast and costs far less — $2 per ride — than a cable car.
Like the cable cars, the streetcars date to the 19th century. Since the system's resurrection in the mid-1990s, transportation officials have outfitted the fleet of 20th century streetcars with color schemes that pay homage to long-ago streetcar systems around the world. (Yes, the old Pacific Electric cars of Southern California are represented.)
You'll get more history at the free San Francisco Railway Museum & Gift Shop (77 Steuart St.; (415) 974-1948). And don't miss the 12-minute film of a cable car (before streetcars took over) rolling up Market Street from 8th Street to the Ferry Building on what seems an unremarkable day in 1906. In fact, the footage was shot just days before the great quake and fires ravaged most of the city.
Unlike the cable cars, the streetcars (especially on Market Street) are heavily used by locals, which means they can fill up fast. If you're riding between Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building, you'll see the Exploratorium (Pier 15/17; (415) 528-4444), which relocated in April. At Pier 27 and Pier 29, you'll see a batch of stylish structures associated with this summer's America's Cup sailing competition.
At the Ferry Building itself, you'll encounter fancy food of all stripes. One great affordable option is Mijita (1 Ferry Building, No. 44; (415) 399-0814), which offers Mexican street food with seasonal ingredients. Great mushroom quesadillas with equally great salsa. Nothing more than $8.
If you're headed down Market Street to the Castro, brace yourself for a journey from affluence to desperation to affluence again. Though redevelopment is said to be on the march and a couple of new apartment buildings are going up, there's still plenty of blight and menace between Powell Street and the burst of rainbow-hued shops, bars and restaurants that herald your arrival in the Castro.
Rick Laubscher, president of the nonprofit Market Street Railway (which promotes the system while the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency runs it), estimates streetcar ridership at 20,000 to 25,000 per day. That, Laubscher says, "makes it the most popular traditional streetcar line in America.... We carry more people than all four of New Orleans' streetcar lines put together, and we carry more people than all three of San Francisco's cable car lines put together."
An insider's view of San Francisco cable cars
Trini Whittaker is a veteran conductor who considers the cable cars rolling theater — only with danger always near.
Trini Whittaker, veteran conductor and grip operator on San Francisco's California Street cable car line, sometimes welcomes passengers this way:
"OK, the black guy doesn't die early in this movie. So you're all safe."
And sometimes this way: "I didn't really take my medication today, so you guys might want to hold on tight for the hills."
In other words, Whittaker, 46, understands that cable car travel is theater. Also a team sport, a rolling history lesson and, if you're not on the ball, an accident about to happen. But when he was a kid in a public housing project at the end of the Powell-Mason line, Whittaker says, "it was just transportation."
Then he grew up and started driving 40-foot diesel buses, 40-foot trolley buses, 60-foot trolley buses and finally cable cars, which are far more challenging than their 9.5 mph maximum speed might suggest. Besides upper-body strength, the job demands intense "physical and mental coordination," in the words of David Banbury, superintendent of Muni's cable car division. The cable car training course's "washout rate," Banbury says, is 75%.
The greatest danger? Whittaker says it's fare-hungry taxi drivers who swerve across lanes to the curb. Grip operators and conductors also worry about the condition of the cables just under street level (they fray and need replacing regularly), scofflaw passengers who jump on and off cable cars while they're moving, clueless or aggressive pedestrians, clueless or aggressive drivers, and other cable cars, which pass just a few feet away.
On the most congested and touristy stretch of Powell Street, near Union Square, says Whittaker, "you have to be able to deal with seven or eight things at a time," which might explain the cranky manners of some crews. Meanwhile on the California Street line, riders tend to be savvier locals; in fact, many try to ride without paying.
Whittaker sidesteps questions about his colleagues' manners, but he's happy to talk about the city cable car bell-ringing competition, which he won last year. Demonstrating old-school and new-school styles, Whittaker first works the bell like a jazz drummer riding a cymbal, then segues into a hip-hoppy dance beat.
And yes, he has carried some famous passengers. Former 49ers Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott, for instance. Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Once, Whittaker says, "I had Woody Allen on the cable car. But even when I said, 'Hey, we have Woody Allen on board!' nobody would believe me."

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. (Jan. 7, 2007) - Back on Jan. 7, 2006, former ETSU star Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) became the last Buccaneer player to eclipse 30 points for a game, netting 37 in a win at Campbell. One year to the date, senior forward Brad Nuckles (Council,
Netting a career high 31 points, Nuckles answered critics and helped power the Bucs back from a 12-point second half deficit to drop Gardner-Webb 66-63 in Atlantic Sun Conference play Sunday afternoon at Paul Porter Arena. With the win, ETSU improves to 10-7 overall, 4-1 in A-Sun play, while Gardner-Webb drops to 3-11, 1-2.
"It's not been a matter of confidence or off the court issues, I've just not been taking care of my body the way I should," said Nuckles, referring to the past three games and his inability to produce. "This is more like what I expect. My teammates did a great job of getting me the ball and helping me have the opportunity to score."
Using a repertoire of moves around the basket, Nuckles kept the Gardner-Webb defense perplexed throughout the game. And in fact, Nuckles was left to basically power the offense by himself in the first half.
Scoring 18 of ETSU's 27 points before the intermission, Nuckles was a perfect 9-of-9 from the floor and helped the Bucs keep the lead most of the first half. However, the Bulldogs finally managed to overcome their early troubles and take the lead at 21-19 on a Takayo Siddle 3-pointer at the 6:28 mark. From there, Gardner-Webb built leads of four points several times and finished the half ahead, 31-27. Eleven first half turnovers by the Bucs and 57 percent shooting from the floor for the Bulldogs led to the four-point deficit.
In the second half, the Bucs continued to struggle to find their rhythm, and fell behind by as many as 12 points at 47-35 with just over 13:32 left in the game. But from there, ETSU used a 16-4 run to tie the game at 51-51 with 9:29 left. Both teams traded the lead a couple more times, but it was ETSU's defensive pressure and a pair of free throws by freshman guard Dequan Twilley (Shelbyville) with seven seconds remaining that gave the Bucs their final margin of victory. Gardner-Webb's Chris Gash had a shot to tie the game as time expired, but the ball bounced hard off the front rim.
Along with Nuckles, the only other ETSU player to reach double figures scoring was sophomore guard Courtney Pigram (
ETSU will return to action in Atlantic Sun Conference play Tuesday night at 7 p.m., facing off with

Kevin Smith: Connects Again, Says Pirates Lead To Converts
from the indeed dept
Recently, he jump onto the Twitter bandwagon and hasn't looked back (it explains why the blog has gone mostly silent), and he interacts with all sorts of fans that way. Last week, he announced that for Labor Day, he would do a 24-hour Twitter marathon, taking and answering questions from fans. It started up around 8am Monday morning, and was fun to follow along with (including some back and forth with Ben Stiller, who lives in Kevin's neighborhood, and has a house that Kevin wants...). Yet another example of connecting with fans -- though, every here and there he interspersed it with links to things to buy, such as a book made from some "best of" moments from the podcast, called Shootin' the Sh*t with Kevin Smith.
Smith seems to have the whole CwF+RtB thing down cold -- and has for many years. But, given all of that, I had no idea what his opinion was on the question of "piracy." While he notes, at one point, that Disney will own the rights to his movies forever, someone asks "How much money do you think your projects have lost to piracy?" to which Kevin responds:
See, I think "How many more converts did I get from piracy?"Bingo. The smart creator these days looks to use "piracy" to his advantage. Smith has done that and more. Hell, we all wish that our favorite creators made plenty of money any time anyone viewed/heard/experienced their content -- but that's not the way the world works. So why not figure out ways to use what the world is doing to your advantage? Many have figured it out -- and yet the industry bigwigs and lawyers continue to insist it's impossible. Oh, and I'm looking forward to (finally) seeing Kevin Smith do a Q&A live later this year as part of his fall tour -- for which I was happy to give him money, once again, disproving Hollywood lawyers insistence that fans just want everything for free. Luckily, Smith doesn't appear to be listening to the lawyers in his neighborhood, and it seems like he's better off for it.
