Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
Ok. Trailer starts...I get piqued interest. Then Johnny Depp speaks..."horse says you are spirit walker" and the englishy pidgen navajo kind of throws me. Stick with it. I did and I think this has a strong chance. Verbinski sure knows how to shoot a movie, and Armie Hammer(whattaname) seems a little less wooden than he, and the Lone Ranger character usually come off as. Little troubling that it takes a little Jonah Hex-y turn in the middle...but overall I have more hope for this than I had from the start.

Franken´s election was a pre-run on a small scale to see if just about anyone could be elected to high office & it be accepted, not only by the people, but accepted by elected officials from the other side. Looks like it´s working out just fine...!!! And will for the foreseeable future, unless a 1000 Breitbarts save our nation. It´s gone beyond one man or one party, it will take patriots, not politicians.

Suck my toe, Matt.In the 4 swing states of Ohio, Florida, Colorado, and North Carolina, Obama won by a COMBINED TOTAL of 320,000 votes--well within the margin of fraud and theft.When numerous precincts in Cuyahoga County vote 100% for Obama, and total vote exceeds the number of eligible voters, you have to believe it was theft.Obama won 32% of the vote to Romney´s 29%, with 39% of the people not bothering to vote.That is no mandate. I do not concede that Obama was selected by the will of the people.

But there was something about the scheduled date that promised a conflict. It was set for around May 14, which was the 50th anniversary of the day the Freedom Riders were attacked by members of the KKK, the Greyhound bus engulfed in flames a few miles outside of Anniston. It was an image — that of the burning bus — and an act of racial violence and hatred that continues to live in infamy in Calhoun County and beyond.
Bauer wanted to do something to commemorate the Civil Rights Movement, not only the Freedom Riders but the struggle of a community to overcome its dark past.
"I didn't want to compete with that," Bauer says, "I wanted to compliment that, to celebrate how far we've come while also acknowledging how far we have to go."
The result is "A Time to Heal," which will be performed Monday, May 9, at 7 p.m. at the Anniston Center for Performing Arts at Anniston High School. Act I features performances of students and adults from the community attempting to "showcase both the beauty of individual cultures as well as the magic that happens when they weave together," according to the press release.
Act II presents "Fire and Freedom" performed by local musicians, singers, dancers and actors, including students from the Anniston after School Arts Program, "conveying a sense of the African American experience, with an artistic representation of the attack on the Freedom Riders' bus, the piece ends with triumphantly with 'Oh Happy Day!'" according to the release.
"Fire and Freedom" features an original score by Bauer's brother, Raymond Horton, an internationally recognized, Indiana-based composer whose works are frequently inspired by the African-American experience, reflect historical research and incorporate traditional songs. Horton's compositions have been performed by the Louisville Orchestra, the National Symphony, the Louisville Festival Orchestra and the Academy of the Performing Arts at the University of Trinidad and Tobago.
The goal of "A Time to Heal" is to force the Anniston community to face the mistakes of its shared past, learn from those mistakes and move on.
"People have been trying to ignore and bury the past for too long," Bauer says. "But before we can heal, we've got to first bring it to the light. That's what this performance is all about, getting this entire community — black and white — together in a celebration of diversity and harmony."
Yet despite her best efforts, Bauer is aware of the whispers that come when a white woman attempts to recreate something from the Civil Rights Era.
"It's the soul of the oppressor, not the oppressed, that's at risk," she says. "I can't help that this was the vision that was given to me. I think God is colorblind."

Michael Allen's furlong lead at the U.S. Senior Open is down to a neck.
His own.
Noticeably bothered by it late in Saturday's third round, Allen bogeyed the 16th and 18th holes. His lead shrank to two strokes — he started the day ahead by five — entering Sunday's finish at Omaha Country Club.
Allen's neck problems, which started last October, have flared up in Omaha. The past two days, he's gotten treatment from Akron, Ohio, chiropractor Keith Ungar.
"This morning, if Doc wasn't here, I couldn't have played today for sure," Allen said. "For a guy who's never had an injury, this has kind of been interesting for me, see what guys have to go through.
"So I'm trying to get through it. It's still tight. I don't know what it is."
The 2009 Senior PGA champion, who won earlier this season on the Champions Tour, shot 72 with three birdies and five bogeys to finish 54 holes at 8-under par.
Said Fred Funk: "The fact that Mike didn't take off, he just gave everybody a chance."
Funk birdied his final two holes for a 67. He's tied for second at 6 under with Kenny Perry, who had one of the day's two 64s. Perry started the round 10 strokes behind Allen, Funk seven.
Corey Pavin also shot 64 to get to 4 under. Rocco Mediate, playing in the final twosome with Allen, also struggled and is five back after shooting 72.
Ten players are at 2 under, only six back, including Mark O'Meara, Tom Lehman and Jeff Sluman.
As the final twosome, Allen and Perry tee off at 12:55 p.m. Sunday.
Allen was coming off a 67-63 start at OCC, setting the course record with his second round.
"Today I had a few more bads than goods, but it's nice to be in the lead," Allen said. "If you'd have given me a two-shot lead to start the week, I would have been pretty thrilled to have it, I'm sure."
|See hole illustrations, insight from course pros, photos and video from every hole and more in our Senior Open course guide.
After one birdie and one bogey on the front nine, Allen was at 10 under and still had a five-stroke lead over Mediate and Funk. He bogeyed the 10th and 11th, but regained those lost strokes with birdies on the 13th and 14th.
On 16, he couldn't get up and down for par — missing a 4-footer — from the front-right bunker after hitting a poor 7-iron. He left short an 18-foot birdie putt over a ridge on 17 and then nearly made a miracle par on 18.
"I hit, I thought, a pretty good drive, but the wind was really picking up and blew a little left, pushing it into the left rough," he said. "I hit a pretty good 6-iron out of that deep rough and rolled way up there, and then it rolled all the way back into the short rough.
"Then I hit a pretty good wedge and came up about 20 feet left. And I hit a really good putt. I really thought I had that, but to be denied. That was my day, to be denied."
Perry, who's trying to win back-to-back senior majors, eagled the sixth hole with a tap-in putt. He was 3 under on both nines and had the only birdie of the day on the par-4 10th that played Saturday at 501 yards.
"I was sitting around last night thinking, 'I've got to somehow get within five of him,' " the new Senior Players champion said. "I was in that rocking chair seat, in a very aggressive mode where if I go out and play great today, I've got a chance to move my way up the leader board. Or if I don't play any good, it's OK too.
"I birdied the first two holes right out of the gate, a great start. I was trying to birdie every hole out there, and I had so many great opportunities. I mean, I played a phenomenal day. It could have been 59."
Funk had been at 6 under for the tournament after making one of the day's seven birdies on the par-3 seventh, the pin tucked back left behind a trio of bunkers. Then he backed up with a bogey on 8 and a double bogey on his favorite hole, the 10th.
|See an interactive map with multiple aerial views of Omaha Country Club and its surrounding areas.
"It just really threw me for a loop there walking off because it was like, golly, I played the hole," Funk said. "I'm taking on that creek and taking on everything down there, and I drove it up there and have an 8-iron and just hit it in the wrong spot.
"I was trying to do everything I could not to make double. I was trying to just accept bogey, and I still left my first chip short in the rough. Then I was really in trouble."
Funk said a par 3 on 11, which played nearly 50 yards longer than on Friday, saved his round. The 2009 Senior Open champion made a 7-footer there, then a 12-footer for a par on 15 after his wedge shot came back down the fairway.
After his birdie on 17, he delighted the gallery at 18 with another one after an approach shot of more than 200 yards.
"I had a 3-iron hybrid. It's really a very confused club. It's in counseling because it doesn't know what it is. It's about my 215 (-yard) club," Funk said. "I was actually thinking a 3-wood, but 3-wood would have been way too much. I didn't know if I could get it up there with all that wind. But I hit it really solid. I was just pleased that it was on the green."
Saturday's scores were lower than what might be expected for a third round at a Senior Open. There were 27 players who broke par.
Funk's theory is that the golfers are getting more comfortable with a course that remains tricky.
"Probably with Mike out there shooting 63 yesterday, everybody went, heck, somebody can do it," Funk said. "If somebody does it, everybody has a whole new idea of what a good number is.
"If you get those (birdies on par 5s), you take advantage of the shorter holes and get by the tough ones and don't make any big boo-boos like doubles on 10, you'll do all right."
Perry said the soft greens, getting extra water because of the heat, are a factor.
"Normally, U.S. Open courses are firm and fast," he said. "If you're in the rough, you can't control it. It will go over the green. These greens will hold shots, even out of the rough.
"I think that's the biggest difference. If you get it in the fairway, you can attack this golf course. That was the key for me today. I hit a lot of fairways."
Allen said a smaller lead will make him play more aggressively.
"I can't just sit back and try not to make mistakes and hope that things work out," he said. "Now I've got a fire under my rear, and I got to get moving."

Amelia has been sober for 8 months. She knows this because that's how long it's been since she's been pregnant. Sheldon is back from the honeymoon vacation he shared with his ex-wife. He has no idea about the situation with Amelia, who doesn't want to hear him say "I'm sorry." Sheldon tries to get info from Jake, who won't say a word. Speaking of Jake, he's concerned Amelia may be planning a slip in her sobriety. If she uses drugs, her baby won't be a viable donor.
Amelia initially freezes out Sheldon. We say, initially, because she later tries to get him to have sex with her. She wants a moment of escape from all that's happening to her. To help Amelia deal with her current urge to use, Jake tells her the story about how he found his wife dead of an overdose on the bathroom floor. He wanted to die, too. But he chose to stay alive for his daughter. Amelia can also choose to live. If she doesn't, everyone who loves her will feel like dying, too.

Business jargon can be a killer.
Your YouTube degree is in what?
December 23
By STEVE ROSEN
The Kansas City Star
Credits, debits and all that other big banker talk.
Debentures, leveraged buyouts its the language of Wall Street.
Business buzzwords come and go. Indeed, it seems weve now progressed to a whole new way of speaking about business and money.
Admit it, you were clueless when your 18-year-old announced he was taking a conference call of duty. Or when your newly employed daughter pulled a cough and call.
Here are a few more gems that could stump you. The definitions are courtesy of the website Urban Dictionary, whose motto is Weve got all the words and acronyms you wont find in Oxford or Websters.
• Econnoisseur. One who insists on the highest quality at the lowest price.
For example: Being an econnoisseur, I bought the $10 Chilean wine instead of the $50 French.
• Recyclopath. A person who militantly engages in recycling and is so hostile to simply throwing away garbage, it borders on mental illness.
For example: Did you see Steve sifting through the garbage to pull out the plastic cap on the orange juice container? What a recyclopath!
• Data encraption. The process which occurs when a computer or other electronic device corrupts files.
For example: Our server at work got hit and now none of my files will open thanks to data encraption.
• Youtube degree. A bachelors level certificate that people award to themselves after they have deemed themselves to be experts in a particular field of study by watching various instructional and how-to videos on Youtube.
For example: I got my Youtube degree in cologne management.
• Job creator. A euphemism for rich person.
For example: Wow, look at that job creator driving his Aston Martin to get onto his private jet so he can go to his private island!
• Bankers dozen. The opposite of a bakers dozen.
For example: In a bankers dozen, the customer receives 11 of the product for the price of 12.
• Corporation. An entity that remains free to continue to do as it pleases after being convicted of criminal activity that would have been a capital offense if an individual had committed it.
For example: Corporations have more rights than people do.
• Ring rage. That feeling you get when your iPhone rings from someone actually calling you.
For example: Joes ring rage is out of control when his iPhone rings while he is updating his Facebook page.
• And just in time for the holiday bill-paying season: Spending amnesia. Trying to recall where and when you spent all your money.
For example: Im so bad with money! It just disappears. I might have spending amnesia.
Now, youre primed to talk business smack with your kids. And if they slip the conference call of duty line on you, know that it refers to taking a conference call from home while playing the Call of Duty action game, according to Urban Dictionary.
As for a cough and call, that should be obvious. Its code for calling in sick for work. I dare you to try that line on your boss.

The chemistry and biology of the unique plastid organelle, the apicoplast, in malaria parasites
Malaria caused by Plasmodium spp parasites has an enormous disease burden that disproportionately affects the worlds poorest and youngest. New anti-malarials with novel drug mechanisms are desperately needed in the face of existing or emerging drug resistance to all available therapies. Investigation of Plasmodium biology offers both the potential for important biomedical impact and an opportunity to explore fascinating eukaryotic biology. Given the challenges of genetic and other approaches to studying this complex organism, the development of chemical tools will be especially critical in pushing forward basic research.
My research focuses on the apicoplast, a prokaryotically-derived plastid organelle unique to Plasmodium (and other pathogenic Apicomplexa parasites) and a key anti-malarial drug target. My laboratory's goal is to elucidate apicoplast biology, function, and role in pathogenesis with the ultimate goal of realizing the potential of the apicoplast as a therapeutic target. In a major step toward this goal, my previous work has demonstrated that the sole essential function of the apicoplast in blood-stage P. falciparum parasites is the biosynthesis of isoprenoid precursors. As such, I was able to generate parasites completely devoid of this essential organelle but chemically rescued by supplementation of the growth media with isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), the pathway product. Chemical rescue and apicoplast(-) parasites are innovative tools for investigating apicoplast biology and for advancing apicoplast-directed drug and vaccine development. Our research takes advantage of these new tools and our newfound understanding of apicoplast function to explore a variety of topics, including protein trafficking to the apicoplast and the protein "prenylome" in Plasmodium. We employ a variety of methods but have a particular focus on the use of chemical tools to overcome the current challenges in studying this organelle. Our exploration of the Plasmodium apicoplast are likely to reveal both unique biology and targets for anti-malarial drug development.

MacBook Pro screen doesn't turn off when lid closed?
So, I've never been a big Mac guy (hence coming here for help), but until recently I was using a MacBook Pro A1260 with BootCamp and Windows 7. On that machine, when I close the lid (regardless of power settings in Windows) the screen immediately goes black. I always liked this behavior as I could leave the computer on the table in the bedroom and let it finish doing what it's doing (downloading a torrent, encoding a video, etc.) without the screen or apple logo on the back keeping me awake.
I just upgraded to the A1286 and it doesn't appear to work the same way. I've messed with the power settings in Windows, and the only alternative seems to be putting it in sleep mode, which means any running programs stop until I wake it back up. I've searched these and other forums and I'm not finding (or at least not understanding) a clear answer.
I've seen some folks say you can use utilities like InsomniaX, but is there anything like this that will work on the Windows side of the machine? Am I missing something on the Mac side?
Thanks for the help...

You can call 'em weak links, design flaws, or whatever you wish. The fact is, there isn't a vehicle made that doesn't suffer to some degree from model-specific quirks. Some of these quirks rear their ugly heads after normal use, while others are the result of accumulated stress brought on by years of 'wheeling.
In this initial installment of Weak Links, Strong Fixes, we take a look at fullsize GM trucks and SUVs. Keep in mind that Chevrolet and GMC vehicles are almost identical, so many of these items apply not only to pickup trucks, but also to the Blazers, Jimmys and Suburbans. To help generate this list, we asked aftermarket GM experts at Missouri Off Road Outfitters and Off Road Design as well as some of the readers of ColoradoK5.com to share their experiences. The following reflect some of the more common problems that owners of GM trucks say they face. Without a doubt, there could be many more items included in this installment, but due to space constraints, we whittled them down to a reasonably sized list that includes the most important and compelling items.
We've tried to include information about which models the problem directly affects, what exactly happens when the component or part fails, and of course we would be remiss if we didn't include info on what you need to fix the problem and where you can get it.
Weak link: Frame cracks around steering box
Models affected: Every straight-axle GM truck and SUV, though pre-'73 trucks don't seem to exhibit the problem as frequently as those built after 1973.
What happens: By today's standards, the GM frames of this era are fairly weak. This is one of the contributing factors to the notorious frame cracking around the steering box (shown).
Sturdy fix: Off Road Design offers a steering-box brace that can help avoid this problem. If cracking has already occurred, Off Road Design offers a weld-on repair kit.
Contact: Off Road Design.
Weak link: The Corporate 10- and 12-bolt rear axle
Models affected: Late '60s-'91 1/2-ton
What happens: The pros say that these axles seem to handle a 33-inch-diameter tire with no problem, but depending on your driving style and equipment, 35-inchers and up require modifications. Common parts failure when running large tires on the trail include the factory limited-slip differentials, axles, axle bearings and the housing itself.
Sturdy fix: Install a quality locker, quality axleshafts like those available from Off Road Design, Green wide-repair axle bearings and a Missouri Off Road Outfitters Over The Top axle truss.
Contact: Missouri Off Road Outfitters, Off Road Design.
Weak link: The Corporate 10-bolt and Dana 44 solid front axles
Models affected: Dana 44 '78-and-older, 10-bolt '79-and-newer
What happens: With 35-inch or larger-diameter tires, expect to break a stock axleshaft, especially if using a limited-slip or locker. If you have a lot of weight on the front of your truck, like a snowplow, or if your vehicle sees hard off-highway use, the axletubes can bend. Most of the time the driver-side tube will bend where it enters the centersection. The earlier 3/4-ton Dana 44s had external-spline locking hubs, which are prone to working loose and breaking the bolts.
Sturdy fix: For use off-highway, the pros say that depending on driving style and equipment, the front 10-bolt and '44 can withstand a fair amount of abuse, if they're upgraded. Try installing a pair of chrome-moly or heavy-duty axleshafts and solid Spicer U-joints, and, if you're using a true locker, Warn fusible hub links. Missouri Off Road Outfitters offers a bolt-on under-the-axle truss for both the 10-bolt and the '44 housings, and the company offers its Rock Bruiser diff covers to guard against diff-cover damage (all shown in photo). To solve the hub-bolt breakage problem on 3/4-ton Dana 44s, either carry a wrench and check the bolts often, or swap the entire spindle-out assembly for a later internal-spline 3/4-ton setup.

Baby Spinach Salad, Beet Salad, Fettuccini, Italian, Lugano, Parma Prosciutto, restaurant, Risotto, Salt Lake City, Sea Bass
A week past the new year and Lugano still had holiday decorations up – seemed a bit strange, and maybe even a bit tacky. But hey – tables were set up nicely, and the restaurant was pretty busy for a weekday evening. Surprisingly, Lugano did not seem noisy even with all the people dining there. Once seated, my guests and I felt relaxed and certainly didn't ever feel hurried in any way.
To get our evening started right, Lugano supplied us with some pieces of foccacia, along with some tasty olive oil and an assortment of olives. As grateful as I was for the foccacia, the presentation was plain, and the bread had obviously been sliced prematurely, as some of the edges were not as soft as they could have been. Plus, a little bit more salt on top of the bread could have made the flavor pop out a bit more. The olive oil was certainly the highlight during this sampling, and the olives were a nice contrast to the oil, even though they were not pitted. All in all, the gesture presented us with enough time to make a decision on what starters and entrees we would order.
My guests each ordered a salad: two hits out of the ballpark. The baby spinach salad was decorated with dried cranberries, candied walnuts that I was prepared to steal off the plate, feta cheese, red onion and a perfect ratio of dressing. The beet salad was served with avocado, fennel, blue cheese and, again, a nice balance of dressing. There was some discussion at the table about if the avocado fit in the salad or not – we decided it just depended upon the simple fact of liking avocados or not. Both of these salads would certainly be ordered again. This was a great sign to the rest of our evening…or was it?!
Our final starter were pyramids of parma prosciutto, arugula, "torched pears"that incorporated a dabble of mascarpone, and a drizzling of balsamic vinegar. This was a dynamite dish in presentation. The nuttiness of the arugula complimented the sweetness of the torched sugared topping of the pears, and it just worked well. I still wish I had that taste in my mouth. The only disappointment to this starter was that the pear wasn't as ripe as I would have liked it – it had a crunch to it, which is too bad, because the texture was just slightly amiss. Besides that setback, this starter dish was out of this world. The flavors really jumped out at me. I recommend the torched pears.
Did you know the house fettuccini is supposedly Lugano's best selling dish? Upon learning that, I had to hands down go for this entree. Soon after ordering it, I discovered that it contained perfectly in-house made noodles bathed in an Italian sausage ragout, canned like mushrooms, and red onions in a tomato cream sauce. The presentation was as nice as I think this dish could offer. The noodles were fantastic and I was certainly impressed by the skill set of Lugano to make such a perfect noodle. Yet, I could have done without the mushrooms or at least a higher echelon of mushrooms, for example, a porcini instead of the white button canned like tragedy. The flavoring was what was to be expected, but could be comparable to an Olive Garden entree, unfortunately. It's a wonder why this is the best selling dish. Maybe because the portions are so huge: it defeated me and I ended up taking leftovers home, after I shared the entree with one of my guests.
My first guest was the smartest of all three of us and ordered the osso bucco over risotto, which had a very rich taste and smoky smell. The plate was beautifully created. The risotto had an appropriate consistency, the meat was amazingly tender, and the squash wasn't mushy at all. Her dinner tasted fresh and was prepared nicely. Hands down we would all order her dish again and scrap what we ordered. Thank goodness for people who share what they ordered AND allow us to steal bites here and there!
My second guest had ordered the fish of the day: sea bass. Again, the presentation was outstanding, but something was wonky. The aroma wasn't right. Could it be? What was that awful smell? Was there a seasoning or spice that was just throwing us off? After everyone at the table tasted the sea bass we all agreed – the freshness of the fish was beyond questionable. After finally getting the attention of the server, we sent it back. The server informed us that all the bass was sold out, but offered up some suggestions on the menu to compensate for such a misfortune. We decided to just share the remaining dishes. Lugano, rightly so, took the bass off the bill. My guest said that if he could do it all over again, he'd skip the sea bass and go with the recommendations from the server. Drat.
Overall, the service was fast. The wine we ordered was promptly brought to the table while we were deciding what to eat. However, after I decided not to participate in any wine consumption, the server didn't suggest other options. Therefore, I drank water as a default and even then no lemon or lime wedges were offered. Beyond that, the waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable, and mostly attentive, except when we had a problem with the bass – we found it tricky to summon him: this detracted from the most positive dining experience. Too bad American restaurants don't have a call button to request a server to attend to the table without trying to give the wave, the nod, or some other indicator.
We didn't end up ordering any dessert – nothing floated our boat. Doesn't every restaurant in Salt Lake City extend a selection like this: chocolate flour-less cake, tiramisu, crème brulee, gelato, apple crisp, and pumpkin cheesecake? I wish to believe that it would all taste great, but it would be refreshing to have a dessert that would wow me and give me reason to call Lugano and get it to-go one night. No doubt we would have ordered a dessert to share if something sounded tasty; instead we all went home with a sweet tooth unsatisfied.
In conclusion, the walls by and inside the very cold and uncomfortable bathrooms are framed with accolades and other ego driven pats on the back; unfortunately Lugano didn't show off what makes them so special tonight. I don't think we experienced exactly what one ought to expect when reading such high fives. Why have these awards posted when the restaurant's execution is inconsistent?
Rating – I would be willing to return for a salad or parma prosciutto starter and certainly not for the sea bass.

Not many people would immediately connect the term Hip Hop artist with Ivy League school, but that's exactly what Upstate New York's Cornell University had in mind when they named music pioneer Afrika Bambaataa as a visiting scholar for the next three years.
Considered by many to be the "Godfather" of Hip Hop, Afrika Bambaataa (whose real name is Kevin Donovan) forever changed music when his 1982 single "Planet Rock" was released. At the time, a new sound was beginning to emerge which he quickly found himself at the forefront of. The song has been sampled by everyone from Paul Oakenfold to Ice Cube and even now, thirty years later, you can still hear it played in clubs everywhere.
Although he already has a history of doing lectures and performances at the campus, this will mark the first time ever for a Hip Hop artist to take on such a position at a major University. "Who better than the man who named hip-hop?" says Ben Ortiz, the assistant curator of the Hip Hop Collection at Cornell University (an archive that boasts the largest collection of Flyers, Recordings, Phototographs and other Hip Hop memoribilia).
Commonly believed to trace its roots to a House Party on April 11th 1973 at 1530 Sedgwick avenue in the South Bronx, Hip Hop's 40th anniversary (mind: blown) in 2013 will coincide with the historic announcement made last Tuesday. Scheduled for April of that year, his second lecture will commemorate the event with an exhibition featuring classic album covers, old graffiti zines, photographs and more.
Hey maybe it really is true what they say- it's never too late to go back to school!

On my recent trip to Copenhagen, Will Kearnins from Boxcycles met us at the airport.
After a train ride into the city, Will led us over to his Christiania bike, gestured toward the wooden box on the front, and said "get in." A quick calculation with my jet-lagged brain said that with me, Sasha, and luggage, this was not a good idea.
Will was not deterred.
Five minutes later we were getting a fantastic tour of Copenhagen, squeezed into the box on the front of a Christiania bike. Crazy fun for me and Sasha - maybe not so much for the huffing and puffing Will - but he didn't complain. (Thanks Will - that was amazing!)
Sasha successfully hiding her fear:
Copenhagen is hands down the best bike city that I've ever been in. The infrastructure is bar none and the bikes truly rule the streets. This is not to say that Copenhagen is laid back in any way. The bikers there are all business. I've never seen people ride that fast on city bikes. From my position in the front of the box, I had a pretty good view of rush hour traffic. The quantity of riders was amazing.
Will took us on a sight seeing tour through the city. We swung by Cykelfabrikken a very cool custom bike shop. Sadly it wasn't open at 9am, but we got to peek in the window.
We also drove by Baisikeli - a rental bike shop that sends used bikes to Africa. Apparently Shepard Fairey paid a visit.
Right by Baisikeli we saw this bicycle trailer from Ikea. In Copenhagen, you can rent them to bring your stuff home. Maybe they rent them at the Ikea in Brooklyn, but I swear I've only seen signs for UHaul.
For whatever reason the cargo bike of choice in Copenhagen is a 3 wheeler. No Bakfiets in this town! There are 2 main competitors - Christiania which we were quite familiar with and Nihola. While Will is obviously in the pro-Christiania camp, he obliged us with a trip by the Nihola store.
This sign says it all.
Eventually we ended up in Christiania the home of the Christiania bike. Will has a great history of the town on his blog. The basic gist of it is that Christiania is a hippy village in the middle of Copenhagen. It's super cool and filled with unique homemade buildings and its own culture (and drug culture).
The entrance to Christiania:
Christiania Bicycles headquarters:
I love the silver disco Christiania. It looks like a mobile party unit.
Guys building the bikes:
The original logo:
Bikes getting ready to be shipped:
After lunch we decided that it was time for us to have our own rides so we went by Will's studio. We both got some pretty cool beaters that made us feel instantly like natives.
Sasha's was a Bauer with a crocheted skirt guard:
And this is what I rode. It was from the 30's complete with snakeskin saddle. It was great - unless you needed to stop.
Will shares a studio with a guy who fixes up old bikes. Inside is a lot of cool vintage bike paraphernalia:
And of course the day wouldn't be complete without a Danish Danish.

What makes this new pet trailer unique is the fact that it is extremely easy to attach and detach from almost any bicycle once the "bike hitch" is installed on to the rear tire axle. Once this is accomplished, the pet trailer frame will be able to snap together with the hitch post with a few pins. The installation and setup of the trailer takes just a few short minutes all together. The dog trailer is strong enough to carry medium to larger sized dogs along with many other pets or animals that are similar in stature. One thing to note is that all of the required installation hardware and pins are included with the purchase of this bike trailer which will allow it to be attached to almost any bike frame and axle. The hitch itself is made of a strong metal and comes with rubber inserts. These rubber inserts will prevent your bike from acquiring any damages from the use of the hitch and bike trailer linking system. At this point, since the product is brand new to our dog bike trailer product line, this model is only available in the red color as picture below. We have chosen to offer this color as red has always been very popular, and because red is bright, this bike trailer will be more visible to others adding to the security of you and your pet while traveling in low lighting conditions. (The trailer also is equipped with front and rear reflective patches for additional visibility.)
Here are a few quick specifications for this new dog bike trailer…The over all dimensions are 55″(L) x 30″(W) x 34″(H). The carriage area for the Pet-trailer-1 is 29.5″(L) x 22″(W) x 24″(H). The space provided by this bicycle trailer will be plenty of room for your dog or other pet. Another great feature of the Pet-trailer-1 is that it comes with a removable clear plastic cover for the front door. This is great protection in case you drive over muddy areas or if it starts to rain/drizzle. Speaking about the front door…, the front door also has a zippered mesh screen to provide a clear view for the dog or other pet while keeping them safely restrained inside the trailer to prevent any quick unwarranted exits.

2 Responses to New Product – Pet and Dog Bike Trailer
Can you use the dog bike trailer with quick release wheel connections?
Now…if manufacturers would consider that some of us have LARGE but aging dogs, we'd have a ready-made solution. I opted for a cargo trailer for my dog so she doesn't have to get left behind (which was breaking her heart.)

Garcia hopes Falcao lands at City
Manchester City new boy Javi Garcia hopes Radamel Falcao will choose the Premier League champions if he decides to move to England in the near future.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The Atletico Madrid striker is one of the hottest properties in football at the moment after his goal scoring feats over the last few seasons.
Falcao shot to the world's attention following two glorious seasons at Porto where he bagged over 70 goals. The 26-year-old Colombian then made the move to Spain and the Vicente Calderon in the summer of 2011 and has been a stunning success so far with 24 goals in his first season.
And Falcao has already netted 11 times in the current campaign after just seven games leading to frenzied speculation the forward is set for a move to the English Premier League next.
"He's a great player and he can play in any league that he wants at the moment," Garcia told Sport360.
"Falcao has been fantastic. He is scoring a lot of goals in La Liga now and I already know him from Portugal where he did the same.
"I would rather play with him than against him. I faced him for Benfica against Porto when we were both playing in Portugal so I know what he can do. I'd be happy to have him in my team."
Falcao is understood to have a minimum fee release clause somewhere in the region of £46 million.
In the past, the Colombia international has admitted that a switch to the Premier League would appeal to him.
"England? One day, I could go.
"It is a game I have watched for a long time and one day I would like to sample it.
"I used to watch it on television when I was a kid. Players like Roy Keane, Eric Cantona, [Gianfranco] Zola. But the one I supported was [Faustino] Asprilla, when he was at Newcastle.
"I think I could adapt to England. I think I could score goals."
Falcao hit a hat-trick against Chelsea just over a month ago to hand Atletico a crushing 4-1 win in the UEFA Super Cup final.

I like the feel of this lip balm but wish it had a little more of a tint. Will probably just use when at home.
This is a very competent, light weight and sheer lip product. I would put it in the lip balm/color category. This is the one lipstick you will find yourself using all throughout the day at work!
This lipstick is sticky an hour after application, and the color is dull and old-fashioned. The casing is pretty and elegant, but I'd much rather use a matte lipstick combined with something hydrating. Combining the two in this product doesn't work.
I love this and everything about it. Color is great, quality is awesome. Not sticky and quite moisturizing. I got Maui and its light and sheer. Just what i was looking for.
I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK! It's such a nice color and a great little size for an evening bag or small day bag! This truly is a yummy little lipstick that goes well with my other cosmetics from Jouer! I love the silky pigment plus the UV protection. The little lipsticks only come in two colors so if you like the size and texture buy them both. I bought the pink color first but am buying the second color since it's one of the most popular colors this season.
I always try to buy lip products with SPF as I have extensive sunspots on my lips and was very happy to find this product on Birchbox. I purchased the Maui shade and I was happy with the smooth formula but found that the product is very sheer and the color is subtle and barely there. Will probably try the St. Barths color when I repurchase.
I purchased this product in the Maui shade. The color is subtle and not overwhelming, and looks good on moisturized lips. Wish this product lasted a little bit longer though!
I've been looking for my perfect nude, and I've found it! Not only does it moisturize and protect, it gives just a hint of color so that my 50-something old lips show up! My only complaint would be that it's a small tube and I'll probably use it up quickly . . .
The color is great and feels amazing on your lips. It's sheer texture and color gives a very classy look and feel. I love that it also has SPF 15. I plan on getting it in every color.
For a sample in this months Birchbox and I am in love! It is the perfect almost nude shade! Glides on, stays on,
And I love the matte finish for the upcoming fall/winter season! New must have.

- By keywords in the body text. You can use the "allintext" operator to search only for keywords in the body of an article. For example, if you want to find all articles with the word "gold" in the body text, you'd type
[ allinbody:gold ].
- By keywords in the headline.You can use the "allintitle" operator to search for an article with a specific headline. For example, you'd type
[ allintitle:lemur ]to receive articles with the keyword "lemur" in the headline.
- By keywords in the URL. You can use the "allinurl" operator to search for keywords in the URL of an article. For example, if you wanted to find all articles with "politics" in the URL, you'd type
[ allinurl:politics ].
To refine your search even further, you may want to use some of Google's advanced search features. For example:
- To search for an exact phrase you can put double quotes around a set of words. For example, a search for
[ "lunar eclipse" ]would show you every article in Google News where this exact phrase appears.
- To limit your search results by excluding a specific term, you can use the minus sign immediately before the term you'd like to exclude. For example, if you want to search for news related to primates but don't care about monkeys you could enter the query
[ primates -monkeys ]. This is also a good strategy to use when searching for a term with multiple meanings.

The Wind in the Willows and The Hobbit
When did you start writing?
Melvin first started to write when he was twelve and an English teacher gave him an 'A' ('I was so pleased I never stopped...'). He left school at eighteen and trained as a journalist, but he hated it. He wrote his first book when he was twenty, and continued to write in his spare time until he became a full-time writer at thirty-five.
Where do you get your ideas?
For Junk, Melvin's publisher suggested he write a book about drugs. However, Melvin also drew from personal experience, as his own brother was a drug addict, as were other people he knew. A lot of the events that take place in the story were true.
When Melvin gets stuck with a story he does something relaxing, like taking a bath or having a doze; walking, he says 'is a bit too energetic for proper imagining, which often happens when I'm at my most lazy. You get good ideas in the bath'.
Can you give any tips to becoming a successful author?
Melvin thinks that books that tackle serious issues, such as Junk, should be entertaining, engrossing, educational and above all, honest.
What are your hobbies?
Melvin has some pets: two gigantic cockroaches, some snails in a jar, and a cat named Panky.
If you hadn't been a writer, what do you think you would have been?Before he started to write full-time, Melvin had a business marbling fabrics for the fashion industry.
More about Melvin
Melvin was brought up in Sussex and Berkshire. After leaving school, Melvin moved to Bristol where he worked at occasional jobs, mainly in the building industry, and was often unemployed. He wrote his first book when he was twenty and wrote on and off for the next fifteen years before his novel The Cry of the Wolf was accepted for publication in 1990. It was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. At about this time Melvin met the author Robert Westall who said to him, 'As the shocker of the seventies, I'd like to say hello to the shocker of the nineties...' Melvin thinks this is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to him about his books.
Melvin Burgess, described by Maureen Owen, writing in The Times, as 'a new and powerful talent', is now regarded as one of the rising stars of contemporary children's literature. His books are never easy; they deal with difficult subjects such as homelessness, hunting, witchcraft and child abuse. His writing is powerful and his characters are drawn with sensitivity and power that makes them leap from the page and into life. Jill Burridge writing of The Baby and Fly Pie in 'Books for Keeps' gives a real sense of his work: 'The tale is compulsive and its wry tone brings flashes of humour and occasional warmth. Gritty and realistic, this novel touches and challenges, and certainly can't be put down.' Three of his novels have been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. In 1997, Junk won the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Fiction Award and was shortlisted for the Whitbread Award.
Melvin continues to write challenging novels for young adults as well as extraordinarily imaginative fiction for younger readers.
In an exclusive interview, we uncover the dark world of Melvin
Why Bloodtide?
When I was a child I had a book called Tales of the Norse Gods and
Heroes, which I read and re-read over and over again. One of these
tales was the Volsunga saga: Bloodtide is an updating based on the
first part of that story. The thing that appealed so much to me
about it, and still does, is that despite the way the whole narrative
spirals down to a final, crushing finale, the characters live their
lives and face their deaths with such ferocity and pride. The Norse
people believed that there was no such thing as free will. Everything
- your birth, your death, and everything in between - was determined
by fate. But how you faced these events was up to you. Nothing could
be changed: all you had was yourself - the thoughts, feelings and
attitudes with which you faced your inevitable destiny. That's what
made you human; that's what made you yourself and it's that attitude
which makes the story, and the people in it, so compelling.
Who or what inspired you to write such diverse characters as
Melanie Pig and the Halfmen?
In the original story, the twelve sons of Volsung are captured
by Conor, and chained in the woods to a great fallen tree. Each
night, two huge gray wolves come out of the trees and kill and eat
one of the brothers. Eleven nights, eleven brothers. There's only
one left...
Wolves were creatures of darkness in Norse mythology. It is wolves
who are to devour the sun and moon at the end of the world. Another,
the Fenris Wolf, one of the sons of Loki, was a monster so strong
that he could not be bound with iron, and had to be chained with
bonds made only of impossible things.
I didn't want to write about Vikings, I wanted to write about
modern people, and so I had to find monsters for today. We're always
hearing about genetic engineering. What sort of things will they
be able to do with that in another hundred years? Perhaps it will
be possible to mix up different creatures - a bit of wasp, a bit
of pig, a bit of man, a bit of iron and steel - and breed up monsters
in artificial wombs, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the
worse. Why not? So that is where the halfmen and Melanie Pig came
Most of the other characters are based on people from the original
saga. The challenge there was to make them work as modern people,
reacting to modern events as we might today, and that was very hard.
People in heroic sagas don't act as we do today, and their inner
life is not the subject of the original poets. The career of someone
like Conor is drawn very much from the careers of modern day tyrants
like Hitler and Stalin. Siggy is someone who developed along with
the story. Perhaps the hardest character to get to terms with was
Signy. In the original, written down eight hundred years ago and
told perhaps for hundreds of years before that, she is much more
passive, but if anything, more strong willed - an amazing combination.
Having been married off to Conor, who then slaughters her entire
family except her brother Sigmund, she has to remain living with
him for decades before Siggy and her incestuous son are able to
extract revenge. At the end she comes out of the burning long house
to congratulate her son and brother - and then goes back inside
to die with her husband. Her life is over. I found it impossible
to get her from the young married girl, full of optimism, through
all those years of trying to produce a child fit to join her brother
in the quest for revenge, to the point where she goes back into
the burning house. The reason is that women at that period in history
were passive. What else could Signy do but try and provide soldiers
for her brother's war, and what other resource did she have but
her own womb? I found it impossible to imagine how someone could
think and behave like that today. So I had to change her story.
I remembered a phrase of Orwell's - "if you wear a mask, your face
grows to fit it." So Signy had to become a monster, just like Conor,
whom she spent her life pretending to support.
Bloodtide portrays a particularly dark land, is this your vision
of the future? If so why?
No, the book is fiction. I made it up.
You seem to put many issues in your books, why is this?
Well, I really hope I don't write "issue" books - I hate all
that. It seems to me that some people are writing not about people,
but about ethics for purely educational purposes - to get people
to think that they ought to be caring, or to come to the right conclusion.
On the other hand, what is most interesting of all is people, and
people are at their most interesting when they're dealing with things
they care about. If you read in the paper about a murder hundreds
of miles away of someone you don't know, it's hard to relate to
it. But what if the murdered person was your mother, or your brother,
or your best friend? What if the murderer was your mother, your
brother or your best friend? Then you'd have to understand what
was going on for them. The issue might be murder, but you'd be writing
about people, trying to bring them to life, and that's what fiction
is about - trying to make all of humanity real.
Why do you think this book will appeal to teenagers?
I'm tempted to say, because of all the sex and violence in it. In
fact, I think I will...
But that's not really fair. The thing is, the Volsunga saga is
such a great story. It must be one of our oldest European tales.
It was known to the writer of Beowulf, it exists in a Germanic form,
the Neibelungenlied, and it hasn't survived for over a thousand
years for no reason. Whether or not I've done it justice I don't
know, but if I've managed to capture just a glimpse of the drama
and urgency and life in the original, then it's bound to thrill
anyone who reads it.
Violence forms the core of Bloodtide, which will undoubtedly
attract criticism, how can you justify this?
I don't justify it. If you don't like it, don't read it: don't
read it and you'll never known whether the perspective of the book
is humane or not. Although I remember the words of the narrator
of another, completely unpronounceable saga, who said that you might
as well enjoy the entertainment, because while you are, you're not
going to think evil thoughts - or do evil deeds, if it comes to
Who is your favorite character in Bloodtide? Why?
My favorite is Siggy. He's a reluctant hero. He's been badly damaged
by events, and he understands enough to know that this has happened
to him, but it doesn't stop him from trying to trust his better
instincts. He despises revenge, even though that's what the whole
story - his story - is all about. He's very human. He lives in a
world where the future is as fixed as the past and he finds that
depressing, as you well might. For a long time he refuses to try
and change anything, but in the end he joins the war against Conor,
not for revenge or to fulfill his destiny - he resists the fight
as long as he does partly because the Gods have made it his fate.
He does it for the sake of justice, because Conor is a tyrant who
must be stopped, and even though events are preordained, he thinks
he has to go through life doing what he believes in, and I admire
him for that.
Which character would you least like to be stuck in a tower
There are plenty of monsters in Bloodtide. The Pig wouldn't make
a very good room mate. Conor of course is a tyrant, a madman, and
horribly cruel, and I think to spend any time with him would be
disgusting and terrifying. But he's a coward, and I think you'd
be OK so long as you didn't fall asleep. I find Signy one of the
most frightening characters, because she starts out so charming,
so full of life and so determined to make things better for everyone,
and ends up so narrow and bitter and cruel - just like Conor, whom
she spent her life trying to destroy. But I think the worst one
is Styr. He has no humanity in him at all. He's like a machine with
only two functions - to kill, and to hate.
How much do you research your books?
It varies a great deal. Usually I write about areas that I'm interested
in, so I usually already have quite a bit of background knowledge.
I sometimes do research after I've written most of the book, when
I know what I'm looking for - cheating, really. I often ask for
help from people who know about a subject better than I do - I gave
Kite to someone who knew an enormous amount about birds, for example;
I gave Loving April to someone who taught deaf children, to see
if I'd got anything wrong, and if there were any tips they could
help me with. Of course, there were. If you're writing about a different
period of history, you have to do a fair bit of reading around,
but the lying part of writing, the part that's to do with sounding
convincing about something, isn't the hardest thing. A few well-placed
facts can give the illusion of great expertise, and it's only rarely
that you actually need a great deal of expertise to write a story.
Of course it's important not to be inaccurate or to make foolish
claims, or to be misleading, but nearly all stories are about people.
You have to know people and be interested in them, and care for
them very much, or you'll never write a convincing word in your

I am an aspiring midwife about to start my second year of college. I am planning to complete my Bachelor's (in an unrelated field), and then do a three year combined B.S.N./M.S.N. program to become a C.N.M. I know most C.N.M.s work in hospital settings, but I am also very interested in the birth center/homebirth side of midwifery. I also think that my beliefs regarding pregnancy/birth are a bit more in tune with the attitudes/practices of most C.P.M.s, and would really love it if my foundations in midwifery could be based on a physiologic rather than medical approach to birth.
That said, I would really love to gain some insight into midwifery, whether it be shadowing a midwife, volunteering, or doing some sort of internship, and I am hoping that someone can give me advice as to the best way to go about this. There is a birth center/homebirth practice in my area run by two midwives, (a C.P.M. and an L.M.), and I would love to have any opportunity to learn from them, even if it is just coming in and volunteering to file paperwork. What I am wondering is whether any of you readers think that these midwives would even be open to the idea, and if so, what would be the best way to approach them? I have thought that the best way would be to send a formal letter expressing my interest in midwifery and ask whether there was any way I could learn from them. I am hoping that there are some midwives or midwifery students who can advise me as to the best way to approach this idea, or maybe give me examples of similar experiences they might have had.
Thank you so much!
Why are you planning on becoming a CNM if your beliefs are more aligned with those of a CPM?
As for approaching midwives, I would send a letter clearly stating what your desires are and what you are willing to offer (as you outlined above), mention that you will be following up with a phone call in the next week and don't forget to make the phone call ;) Personally I like to have a bit of notice and info from people wishing to work together so I can mull it over and give it some thought, but that is just me.

BBC Two show visits the Etihad Stadium
- 10 September 2012 11:45
- Posted by Mark Booth
A pilot scheme of stadium tours for hard of hearing supporters is the first of its kind in the Premier League and will be subject of BBC Two programme, See Hear.
See Hear, the BBC Two magazine show for the D/deaf community, paid a visit to the home of the Premier League champions to take the tour for a programme that will be aired on Wednesday 12 September at 13:00.
Earlier this season City announced the launch of a pilot series of Etihad Stadium tours to be conducted with a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter alongside the Club's official tour guides.
Chris Holmes, Stadium Tours Manager, outlined his targets for the project.
"Our aim is to make Etihad Stadium as accessible as possible to all our supporters," he said.
"We hope the pilot BSL tours will prove popular. If successful, we'd like to make them a regular occurrence."
The tours, designed for City's D/deaf and hard of hearing supporters in conjunction with the Manchester Deaf Centre, are the first to be introduced by a Premier League club.
Jude Nortier, Operations Manager at the Manchester Deaf Centre, welcomed the launch:
"It is a great to see a Premier League club like City looking at new ways to reach out to its hard of hearing fans beyond matchdays," said Nortier.
"We are really pleased to be working with the club to make this scheme a reality."
To find out more about the BSL tour, or to book a place, call 0161 444 1894 or email: email@example.com.

Adults can't decide if they want to require you to read John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men—or make that sure you never even pick it up. Since it was published in 1937, it's been banned about as often as it's been assigned.
Why? Take your pick, really. Killing. Violence. Swearing. Brothels. Racism. Sexism. The book's ending is beyond sad, and might be considered an endorsement of euthanasia. Not to mention, its message isn't exactly full of praise for the American way of life.
Set in the American West during the Great Depression, the book is based on Steinbeck's experiences during a 1936 assignment for the San Francisco News covering the migrant workers in California. Its two main characters, George and Lennie, embody the American struggle to survive the Depression—and capture the isolation and suffering that exist even in the land of opportunity. Despite its filthy-for-the-time language and a real downer of an ending, the book was popular right away, even being chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club selection before it was published. (That was something like being chosen for Oprah's book club.)
And it wasn't just popular with the middle-class book club readers. Critics and scholars praised its gritty realism, and Steinbeck won the 1962 Nobel Prize for Literature on the strength of this book and others like it. Although shorter than his super-famous The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men has all the same themes in one smaller, bite-sized package.
Do you care about questions like, "How bad, exactly, is prejudice?," and "Are we responsible for the welfare of other people?," and "Are men and women different?"
Of course you do. Then you'll care about Of Mice and Men, even if your answers are slightly different. Here's a quick run-down of what to expect:
Of Mice and Men is risky, controversial, and modern. It says that maybe we're all in big trouble—and not just from climate change, either. It says that our American notions of happiness are messed up, and if we expect perfection, or even fair play, we're in for a sad surprise. Even in a country where we pride ourselves on our supposed ability to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, there frequently aren't enough bootstraps to go around. And when you do manage to get hold of a pair, those bootstraps often break.
