John Wallbank: New Work
The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award
Standpoint Gallery, 2010
John Wallbank makes ambitiously scaled installations and domestically scaled objects from complex combinations of abstracted and eviscerated material. All his pieces have a strong integral sense of drawing; a particular and eloquent line. New works incorporates sheaths or elements made from vaccum-formed perspex, its almost molten clarity glazing the contained form with a seductive smoothness.
In dealing with the act of making as a thing in itself rather than a means to obtaining a form or image, Wallbank's objects act almost as stand-ins for, or approximations of, things that inhabit the world. Currently he is exploring the concept of the packable and unpackable, both in its practical applications and conceptually as a metaphor for the adaptability that modern living requires of all species, particularly humanity. He is concerned for that which is temporary, compact, multifunctional or reproducible in multiple situations.
Ultimately it is the act of translation as much as the source that interests Wallbank. What often results are samples or examples, suggestions of what is possible. Rather than a vocabulary of forms he develops vocabularies of making and function - containing, supporting, joining, decorating, displaying. The language employed operates in 2D and 3D concurrently - a line may be a saw cut, a bent wire or a sausage of clay. A single thread is woven into fabric, out of which complex 3 dimensional forms grow.
This coherence of Wallbank's thinking, his language accruing through the metaphors and terminology of building into coherent phrases and sentences, is made apparent in his environments' and objects' machinic sense of urgency and purpose. Though static they appear designed to act.

text: Smooth, quiet, solid, stable and focused on fishing... Welcome to the added confidence, total performance muscle and unbelievable price of the Stratos 1760DV. Engineered to easily outdistance the dated technology of noisy aluminum boats, this multi-species model is available as a single or dual console and offers a world of floor, storage and fishing space. Deep inside the fiberglass design, the 100 percent composite construction works with foam-filled fiberglass stringers and a polyurethane composite transom to deliver optimum strength and durability. The specially-engineered hull carries a wider footprint and is geared for strong performance with outboards from 75 to 115 hp. Combined with the added efficiency of No-Feedback steering and solid tracking features, the 1760 offers a rewarding alternative to the weaker traits of aluminum designs.

The 2009 Chardonnay Boonfly is soft, supple and totally beautiful. The Hungarian oak barrels add hints of spiciness and volume to the wine, yet this remains a medium-bodied, refined Chardonnay loaded with class and sheer pedigree. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
Tasting Notes
The citrus, apple and white peach flavors are bright and alive, with gorgeous, rich brioche aromas and steely minerality.
Technical Notes
After a long and slow fermentation the wine aged for 21 months in heavily toasted Kadar Hungarian oak barrels. A ripe, intense, pure and focused wine.
Additional Notes
History — Kazmer & Blaise was the wine that got it all started, and therefore holds a special place in our hearts. In 1995, Peter K. Molnar was tending to grapes. That same year, Michael B. Terrien, a "philosophy major with a fishing problem" (Michael is from Maine where he crewed on Linda Greenlaw's boat, of The Perfect Storm fame), had just finished up his winemaking studies at the famed University of California, Davis.Michael and Peter, already good friends, started making small batches of Pinot Noir from Primo's Hill, a single, seven-acre block of grapes on Poseidon's Vineyard. They soon discovered that their 20-something friends did not make great customers (paying customers, at least), and a few years later started putting some on the market. It's been hard to get a hold of ever since.During a creative lull, Peter and Michael decided to string their middle names together in order to create a name that almost nobody can pronounce. Winemakers? Yes. Brilliant marketers? Decidedly not. They also adorned the label with a rooster on a stump, but that's a story that you might want to hear about after having a glass or two of "K&B", as we call it.In any case, this is micro-quantity wine — only a few hundred cases are produced each year. Kazmer & Blaise is truly a handcrafted wine, and is a deeply personal rendition of the varietal. This is Pinot Noir that can drink more like a Northern Rhone than a Burgundy. It is a style that might be called Roman Catholic, if other Pinots are considered Protestant. You can almost taste the guilt.

"Such ingratitude after all the times I saved your life..."
July 16 2004
This review is from:
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (2-disc DVD Collector's Set) (DVD)
"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is Sergio Leone's epic masterpiece. While it is part of his Spaghetti Western Trilogy( all three films have different characters and plots), the film stands on its own and really shows you how good a movie can really be. This movie has it all. It has action, drama and even some comic relief in it. It is a timeless classic that is unforgettable. When I first saw it, I was a little kid and couldn't truly appreciate it as I can now at age 22.
Blondie (The Man with No Name) isn't your typical good guy. He mainly does things that suits his own agenda. However, when compared to the murderous Angel Eyes and the greedy Tuco, Blondie is saint. This tale involves bloodshed, shoot-outs, search for treasure, and double-crossing. And it all takes place while the Civil War is going on, which makes things a lot more "interesting" for the notorious three. The West has never been wilder or more unpredictable than it is now. With an incredible score, excellent acting, and superb story-telling, this is one memorable film that you will never forget.
As I said in the beginning, the first time I saw this was when I was a little kid. When I just recently purchased this new edition of the movie, it truly was like I was watching it for the first time. Coming from a guy who isn't a big fan of Westerns (I don't mind them, but I don't watch too many of them), I absolutely LOVED this film. In fact, I wanted to give it a standing ovation when it was all said and done due to how moved I was by it. This really is filmmaking at its finest. I wasn't terribly impressed with Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America," but he is absolutely flawless with this amazing and timeless Western. It is slower than the second film ("For a Few Dollars More"), but I think that makes this all the better. The build up of tension is much more present in this film, and you really get the sense that these characters are real people. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach are brilliant in their roles, and a lot of props need to go to Lee Van Cleef as he is absolutely chilling in his role.
This new edition really does the film the justice it deserves. The film has been restored to the director's original vision as much as possible, giving you an extra 18 minutes. You will notice the added scenes as the voices have been re-dubbed (the first time you will notice this will throw you, as I think that specific part has the worst re-dubbing, but the other added scenes are done a lot better, even if you still notice it). The picture looks incredible and the sound is great. Extras included are commentary from Richard Schickel, a couple of documentaries and featurettes, poster gallery, deleted scenes and the original theatrical trailer. Along with the nice packaging, you get an 8-page booklet that includes pictures from the film along with Roger Ebert's most recent review of the film. And, you get some mini-posters included inside the packaging as well. A superior edition of the movie, without question.
"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is a pure triumph in filmmaking and should be seen by everybody at least once. Don't let the fact that this is a Western throw you. I think this can be enjoyed by everybody, and even by those who are not big fans of Westerns. A film filled with authentic emotion and action, this is one that shouldn't be missed by anyone. I LOVE this movie, and I cannot express that enough. -Michael Crane
Never Die Alone (Bilingual)

"We reap what we sow..."

This review is from:
Never Die Alone (Bilingual) (DVD)
"Never Die Alone" is a dark and bleak crime drama/noir that never makes any apologies for its brutality or harshness. Definitely not something for people with weak stomachs, the movie is a great example of showing you what goes around comes around, even if you decide it's time to change your life. As harsh as the movie can be, I think it was very well done and took some really good risks. This is definitely something that doesn't come out of typical Hollywood.
DMX plays King David, a notorious drug dealer who has a solid rep and one hell of a dark past. He decides it's time to make things right and hopefully find some sort of redemption. Well, things don't work out like that as his past mistakes finally catch up to him with unrelenting results. A would-be reporter gets caught in the middle of the crossfire and ends up learning about David's horrible past through his own cassette tapes that he had made. What is revealed to him is a grim story about drugs and violence in unspeakable proportions.
I was actually expecting the movie to be nothing but non-stop "street violence," but it ended up being a lot more clever than that. There's an actual storyline to it that works, along with some great performances from the cast. Even though this isn't a perfect movie, I think it is a very good one. DMX is absolutely chilling and unforgiving in his role of "King David." So unforgiving that he even admits in a making-of featurette on the DVD that he had a hard time with some of the things his character does in the film. You can tell that he was determined to become the character, as he does a great job of selling it. David Arquette and Michael Ealy also give terrific performances and should not be forgotten.
The DVD doesn't have a whole lot to offer, but there are some extras included. You have the option of either watching the widescreen or fullscreen version of the movie. Extras included are commentary, a making-of-featurette, trailers and deleted scenes. While it doesn't offer a whole ton of extras, there are a couple that you can check out.
It goes without saying that the movie is dark and brutal. If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky type of movie, then this is something you will not want to even take a chance on. As harsh as this movie can be, I don't think it's gratuitous, which was something I was expecting it to be. Still, this is something that isn't for everybody. I think that "Never Die Alone" is a well done movie with some unforgettable performances. A real urban-gangster picture that isn't all fluff and empty calories. It actually has something to say. -Michael Crane

Damage Control
July 13 2004
This review is from:
The War Room (Full Screen) [Import] (DVD)
"The War Room" is an interesting documentary that shows you just exactly what goes on behind the scenes of a presidential campaign and all of the problems that can arise. Mostly centered around the Clinton campaign, we get a look at a man who is determined to be the next President of the United States. James Carville and George Stephanopoulos are the main brains behind the campaign, and they show it with their rapid thinking and reactions. The road to the White House proves to be a bumpy one for Clinton and company, as scandals surface and tabloid articles flood the newsstands. The people behind the campaign of Bill Clinton never get a break as they always have to be on their toes and figure out damage control. Even though you know how it all ends, it is still a tense and shocking film.
What I love the most about this documentary is that there is no overall narrator, and there really isn't an agenda to it. The film doesn't force-feed you a likable Clinton. The film's real purpose is to show you what happens during these campaigns. Even though it's centered around Clinton, this film really could've been about anyone. The film doesn't sugarcoat anything as it gives you the raw footage and shows you how both sides can play dirty. It was amazing to watch Carville and Stephanopoulos work the way they did, as I had no idea how much of an important role they played in Clinton's campaign.
I think this documentary can be enjoyed by anyone who is interested in how the system works. You really don't even have to like Clinton in order to enjoy it, as the film isn't trying to make it look like Clinton is a saint or anything like that. It is about how dirty people in these campaigns can fight, and it occurs on both sides. And since there is no overall narrator, there is really nothing in here that tells you that you should feel a certain way about it all. The DVD contains no special features, which is a shame.
I really enjoyed "The War Room," and I'm not a real big fan of politics. I think it presents an interesting look at what goes on behind the scenes. If you're looking for an entertaining documentary that is funny and tense, then this is definitely something you should consider checking out. A big triumph on all fronts, if you want my honest opinion. -Michael Crane

The Bourne Identity (Widescreen Collector's Edition) [Import] (DVD)
I was in the mood to watch an entertaining action flick that hopefully had some brains behind it, so I decided to pop "The Bourne Identity" into my DVD player (that, and the previews for the sequel looks really good, so I wanted to see this right away). What I got was exactly what I expected, and then some. This is a very exciting and sharp movie that is a lot of fun to watch. There's lots of intense action to be enjoyed from this film.
Jason Bourne has a serious problem on his hands. When he is left for dead and his body is discovered by fishermen, he awakes and realizes that he cannot remember who he is. His memory is gone and he has no idea why or how he's there. And even though he doesn't know who he is, he is very skilled at hand-to-hand combat and is a deadly weapon who can take down just about anyone. When he tries to uncover his past and his identity, he finds people around every corner trying to kill him. Turns out that he is in reality an agent/assassin for the U.S. government (a very secret branch of defense). Since Bourne had failed his mission, they cannot afford to have him found out by others, so they know he must be terminated. Well, Bourne isn't going to take that lightly. He will take them head on and bring the fight to their doorsteps in order to find out who he is and why they want him dead.
This really was a good time. I haven't been terribly impressed with some of the latest action blunders, so it was nice to see something that was entertaining and was actually smart at the same time. Another plus is that the film doesn't try to be overly goofy, as a lot of other action flicks tend to be at times. Granted, there is humor, but it's evenly spread out and is never overused. Not only does the film have incredible action and fight scenes, but it also has a smart script and great character interaction. The movie also shows that Matt Damon can be one heck of an action star. I thought he could never pull it off, but he sure proved me wrong. He's very believable in his role and he's able to pull of the action scenes with real authenticity.
The DVD has a few extras to offer. First off, the movie looks very good and the sound is also terrific. Extras that can be found on this DVD include commentary from the director, an alternate ending and an extended "farmhouse" scene, deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, a great music video by Moby, and some really neat DVD-ROM extras. I didn't care much for the alternate ending, so I'm glad that they just stuck with what is in the movie. All in all, not a bad package.
"The Bourne Identity" can be enjoyed by those who want a smart and clever action movie that delivers. There's a great script, a fantastic cast, and some out-of-this-world chase/fight scenes. This was definitely a great time for me and I'm glad I finally got around to watching it. If you haven't checked it out yet, then I really recommend it, especially if you're an action fan. -Michael Crane

July 10 2004
This review is from:
Butterfly Effect [Import] (DVD)
While "The Butterfly Effect" wasn't critically acclaimed or well loved by everyone, I thought it was a pretty good movie when I first saw it at the theatres. It was a dark and completely disturbing film that made me want to look away at times, but at the same time I was very intrigued. My only problem was the ending. I thought it really contradicted the whole theme of the movie, but I always suspected that the so-called "happy ending" was forced upon since the movie is so dark and hard to watch that they thought there was no way people would like it if a more darker and depressing ending were added. Well, now you get to see the director's cut of the film that's on this very DVD, which offers the superior ending.
Evan had terrible blackouts when he was little, very much like his father. He would blackout during terrible situations and not remember anything. That's when it was suggested to him that he keep a journal to see if he could remember what happened during those blackouts. When Evan is all grown up, still haunted by his terrible past that had blanketed him and his friends, he discovers that he can relive those memories when he reads his entries. He can view it like a movie and finally see what had happened during his blackouts. Not only that, but he has the power to even alter those moments. Determined to fix the pasts of him and his friends, he relives those memories and tries to fix them so they will all have a better future. However, when he tries to change one thing, it leads to devastating results that he could have never foreseen. As the cover says, "Change one thing... change EVERYTHING."
I found this film to be very interesting and complex, even though I felt that the film itself was not perfect. The movie is very hard to watch at times, so it's not recommended for those who don't like being disturbed or who are extremely sensitive to such matters. I think it has a smart storyline and great acting. Believe it or not, Ashton Kutcher is able to act in a serious role. I didn't even recognize him at first, but he really pulled it off. He was able to convince me that he was in fact "Evan," as he played the role with determination and force.
As I said in the beginning, my major problem with the movie had always been the ending. While it was happy and nice to see that things worked out considering the absolute hell this movie can put you through, I still found the ending to be contradictive and a "cop-out." Now, all of that's changed as you are given the choice to either watch the theatrical version, OR the director's cut. The director's cut offers a few more extra minutes that adds more substance to the story (including an interesting find) and a more appropriate ending. If you were to ask me which version is better, I'd say that the director's cut is without any hesitation The new ending does a better job of fitting in with the theme of the movie and doesn't contradict the film as the theatrical ending does. The DVD also offers "infinifilm" features that give you a deeper insight to the movie itself. Extras included are commentary, documentaries, storyboard galleries and much more. I must say that the film looks great, and also sounds fantastic as well.
"The Butterfly Effect" proves to be an even stronger film with the director's cut version, even if it's still not a perfect movie. If you're looking for something a little more darker and sinister than your regular picks, then this is something to consider. Just remember that this movie does not let you off easy. It's brutal and extremely disturbing. If you're daring and think you can handle it, then pick this up and prepare for one unforgettable and chilling ride. -Michael Crane

This review is from:
Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume 1 (DVD)
Whoever said that cartoons can only be intended for children never heard the likes of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." In the spirit of shows such as The Simpsons or Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force offers whacky and bizarre humor that is both ridiculous and hilarious. It's an odd concept that sounds like it could be a complete disaster, but seeing that this was done by the right people, the show is absolutely terrific. "Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume 1" is a hilariously strange journey that is unlike any you have ever taken.
There are three main characters in the show. There's Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad. They all live together--despite the fact that they can get on each other's nerves very easily. The three are always confronted with strange situations and people. From aliens (one having a weird German accent) to gigantic robot bunnies; from a "cursing" mummy to greedy leprechauns; and from talking dolls to strange two-dimensional and birdie flipping creatures known as "Mooninites," these are only a few of the situations that the three supposed "crime fighters" face. The results are unpredictable and highly entertaining.
This is a show that will be enjoyed by those with a warped sense of humor. It took a while for me to get into it all, but after a couple of episodes I was hooked and was laughing like crazy. The episodes are very short (each are about 10 minutes long), so it's easy to watch a whole bunch of them all at once. I always love bizarre and ridiculous humor, so this show was perfect for me. I think it has a great concept, very entertaining characters and a very solid direction.
While this is indeed a cartoon, it's really not intended for young children. It is a part of Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim," and for good reason. It's nowhere near as bad as South Park or even Family Guy, but the show does contain mild language and adult content/situations. Teens and up shouldn't have any problems with the show, as I'm sure they have seen worse, but it isn't a show for very little children. Besides, they wouldn't appreciate the off-beat humor.
There's not a lot of extras on the DVD. The package consists of two discs that has 16 episodes. Audio and picture quality is very good, considering it is a cartoon. Extras that are included are commentaries on the episodes "Rabbot (the original cut)," "Space Conflict from Beyond Pluto," and "Mayhem of the Mooninites." Other extras are never before seen footage, the original cut of the pilot, "Rabbot," and a few "hidden" goodies. Not a lot of extras, but still a decent package overall.
"Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume 1" is a great time that delivers very off-the-wall humor around every corner. There isn't another show like it, in my opinion. It may take a few episodes to really get into it all, but soon enough you're hooked and are laughing all the way. If you like cartoons that aren't your ordinary squeaky-clean family entertainment, then this is something you should definitely consider checking out. This is something I will be watching again and again. I can't wait to get Volume 2.
If you like this, then I also highly recommend "Invader Zim," since it has the same dark and twisted humor in it. You're bound to enjoy it if you like this, and vice versa. -Michael Crane

This review is from:
Cops: Shots Fired (Bilingual) (DVD)
This is the DVD to own for any fans of the show, COPS. It's packed with tension, danger, and violent confrontations. "COPS: Shots Fired" contains some of the most dangerous confrontations to be captured on camera. While it is actually really only a small taste of what the show has to offer, it still makes a nice DVD for any fan of the show. Witness the police as they get called over to maintain and control dangerous and outrageous situations. From people with knives to people with actual guns. From drunken and violent perpetrators to deeply disturbed souls who feel there is no hope for them. These men and women dressed in the uniform must make life changing decisions, and they have to make them fast if they don't want to danger the lives of innocent bystanders, or their very own lives. It is a wild ride, and a ride that you will have a hard time forgetting.
This is not for anyone who is extremely sensitive or who easily gets grossed out, as there is a lot of graphic content on this DVD. You get to see exactly what a bullet wound looks like... and it's 100% real. Some of this stuff you wouldn't be able to see on TV it's so intense. I have always been a fan of the show, so I knew what I would have to expect. However, that did not mean I had an easy time watching some of the things that take place on this DVD.
A real downside is that this is really a short DVD. Its running time is about 50 minutes, which isn't very long at all. Considering how long the show has been around, I think they could've put together more material. I wouldn't had mind paying a little extra for more content, and I'm sure a lot of other fans wouldn't as well. There is a bonus footage section that gives you an uncensored montage that could never be aired on TV without it being watered down. That's a little over 15 minutes, which is a nice extra. If the actual program freaks you out too much, watching this section will help you relax some as most of the material is pretty humorous.
"COPS: Shots Fired" is a nice package for those who are devoted fans of the show and crave for something a little more intense. It's not a perfect or spectacular package, but it is a nice one. Again, this is not recommended for younger audiences or for those with weak stomachs. I hope to see more COPS DVDs in the future, as I really do love the show. And maybe they'll put together a great DVD with hours upon hours of timeless material. Until then, we have this, and that's a nice start. -Michael Crane

"Can't ride home on a bowl of goat..." (4.5 stars)
June 29 2004
This review is from:
Drunk In Public (Audio CD)
Ron White is a very funny and talented comedian that has a lot of potential, and that potential is very well displayed on his first album, "Drunk in Public." While many were introduced to him through the comedy concert movie, "Blue Collar Comedy Tour," I first heard of him through some of my friends. So, I decided to purchase the CD without hearing the man do a single set. It is a decision that I'm happy I made, because Ron White knows how to show you a good time without breaking a sweat.
White talks about a variety of things on his album... most of them involve drinking. Hence the title of the album. Still, he talks about a lot of other things as well. He talks about being married to a "spoiled" wife with rich parents, and how she can't really do anything on her own. He talks about an experience on a small plane where they were uncertain if they would ever see home again... although, Ron didn't really care since he was drinking. A nervous passenger asks him if one of the engines burn out how far will the other one take them, and Ron casually replies, "Right to the crash site." He even bets the man that they'll beat the paramedics there by a half an hour. He talks about his cousin who loves to hunt, and he talks his loathing of Sears. There's many more on the album, but those are just some of the real headliners.
I really enjoyed listening to this album. Ron White is a very relaxed comic... so relaxed that he actually drinks and smokes during his routine. His set never feels forced or recycled. He's very subtle and confident about his material, and it really shows. His "relaxed" style really works for his routine and makes him a real standout.
The only problem I had with the album is that it's too short. The total running time is a little over 39 minutes long. Usually, comedy routines on albums run about an hour long (sometimes a little less, sometimes even a little more). I was kind of sad that the CD was so short. I remember saying to myself, "That's it?!" It is only a minor complaint, but I still feel that the album could've been a little longer. I'm sure he didn't run out of material.
My favorite tracks are "sunglasses," "truth in advertising," "plane crash," "ten days in los angeles," "outlaw video games," "married to a wealthy woman," "lug nut day," and "they call me 'tater salad.'" I like them all, but those are some of my favorites.
Ron White's "Drunk in Public" is a very funny first album, and it shows a lot of promise for future achievements. Despite it being a tad short, it's still a very worthy listen. I think that he will really go places if he keeps it up. If you're looking for a funny comedian that is subtle and hilarious, Ron White is your man. Don't forget to enjoy a nice cold one when you pop this bad boy into the stereo. -Michael Crane

The Jerky Boys (Audio CD)
Now, this is a hilarious album that brings back memories. While going through my ridiculously large CD collection, I stumbled upon this gem. I hadn't listen to it for a long time, so I decided to take a stroll down memory lane. And what a great stroll it was! "The Jerky Boys" is one of those priceless classics that can never be duplicated. This was the album that introduced the world to two hilarious pranksters and their amazing creations.
Let's face it, anybody can do a prank call. It's not that hard to do. However, that does not mean that anybody can do a GOOD prank call. These guys are improv geniuses, and they can never know what to expect. Great characters like the annoyed and always ticked off Frank Rizzo, or the always injured and paranoid Sol Rosenberg. There's the openly... er... "happy" Jack Tor S who is always looking for a whacky job. And who can forget Tarbash; the Egyptian Magician and an unfortunate victim of dental malpractice. That's only to name a few.
Since this is the very first album from the Jerky Boys, all of their characters were still not yet fully developed or completely solid, but they each showed overwhelming promise. You knew that we would be hearing more from these characters in the future, and of course that is what happened. Still, this album is absolutely hilarious and never seems dated. The two most developed and memorable characters are Frank Rizzo and Sol Rosenberg. Even years later, this album still had the power to make me laugh as if I were hearing it all for the first time.
It goes without saying, this album isn't intended for those who get offended easily. Lots of profanity and adult humor can be found on almost every track. While I pretty much enjoy every call, my favorites are "irate tile man," "laser surgery," "sol's glasses," "car salesman," "super across the way," "the home wrecker," "dental malpractice," "hurt at work," "firecracker mishap," "punitive damages," "piano tuner," and everybody's favorite, "uncle freddie."
"The Jerky Boys" is one of those classics that will never seem dated or tiring. It's always funny and outright hysterical. If you haven't checked these guys out, then this would be a great introduction to them. There may be a bunch of wannabes in the world, but we all know that there can only be one Frank Rizzo! Now, go grab your toolbox and enjoy these calls, Jerky! -Michael Crane
Badder Santa: The Unrated Version [Import]
~ Billy Bob Thornton
22 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
Remember kids, Santa hates you. He really, really hates you.
June 22 2004
This review is from:
Badder Santa: The Unrated Version [Import] (DVD)
If you were ever curious to find out how unapologetic and raw a movie can be, then you won't have to wonder much longer. Because, here comes "Bad Santa." No, this isn't your cute and cuddly Christmas movie that'll make you feel good inside. This is a movie that is so vulgar and relentless that you can't help but laugh all the way through it. There is not a single second where this movie is tamed or surrendering, and that alone is something to admire.
Willie T. Stokes isn't your ordinary mall Santa. He's a foulmouthed alcoholic who loathes his own life more than anything else in the world. He's also a successful thief and uses the "Santa" guise in order to help him rip off the department stores, but all of the abuse of booze has taken its toll on him. Things are a little different this year, as a kid who absolutely believes that he is the real Santa takes a liking to him, giving Willie a great hide-out at his own house. Not to mention he meets a beautiful bartender who has a sick "Santa" fetish that's uncontrollable, but he doesn't mind that one bit. Yes, it is shaping up to be a year full of profanity, booze and depression for Willie, and isn't that what Christmas is all about?
I don't think even Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino combined can match up to the usage of profanity in this pleasantly dark and off-the-wall comedy. Did it bother me? Of course not, but then again it never really bothers me. I knew exactly what to expect from this movie, so I was very well prepared for what I would witness. I have no problem telling you that I thought this movie was downright funny. Billy Bob Thornton is hilarious as a bitter and depressed Santa. Call me demented, but I thought it was pretty funny when he swears at all of the little kids. He never fails to dish out a few "colorful" words here and there. Bernie Mac and the late and very much missed John Ritter are also very entertaining in their roles. The script was very well written and accomplishes what it wanted--and that is to be funny, and nothing more.
This is not a movie for those who easily get offended. If you hate profanity, then you will loathe this movie. That is a fact. Don't even attempt it if that's the case. This is one of the few movies where it never chickens out. It's raw and brutal from beginning to end. It's not a deep film, and it's not trying to be one. This is a movie that is completely character-driven, so don't expect a fabulous story or a complex plot. The movie's only goal is to be funny and entertaining, and I think it does just that.
There are two versions of this movie you can get. I got the "Badder" version, which is said to have a little over five extra minutes in it that's "unrated." Now, I never saw this in the theatres so I can't tell you what was added. I really couldn't tell what was so "unrated" about it. Like I said, the movie is completely vulgar from beginning to end, so it was hard to notice anything that was "unrated" material. So, it's up to you which version you want to end up getting. There's not a lot of extras on the DVD, but there are a few goodies included such as a behind-the-scenes featurette, a gag-reel, outtakes, and deleted and alternate scenes.
"Bad Santa" is a vulgarly good time and it doesn't try to pretend to be something else. It is what it is. It's not for those who are offended by non-stop usage of profanity. While it's no cinematic masterpiece, I found it to be highly entertaining. If you're looking for a dark comedy that refuses to take itself seriously or make any apologies, then this is something worth looking into. A very funny and crude comedy with great performances from an extremely funny cast. -Michael Crane

X-Men Evolution
- A minor moment from her debut episode in the Evolution cartoon. When X-23's investigating some perfume belonging to one of the girls. She takes one sniff of the perfume and makes a perfect "gag" sound, and the expression on her face is priceless.
X-23: (totally serious) You should have healed by now.Logan: (just a little offended) Give me a break kid, I started out the morning by falling out of an airplane.
- When X-23 returns in the episode "Target X", she's quick to complain about Logan's "slow" Healing Factor. He's quick to point out theirs a fairly good reason for it.
- X-23's first encounter with Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: Wolverine, good lord! What did they do to you?
- Earlier, just to show that she's not completely lacking in humor, after being told off by Scott and how chasing after every little threat is something Logan would do, X imagines him wearing a dunce cap.
X-23 Ongoing
- Odds are that an ordinary babysitting job would be something that Laura could figure out. Her first one is not ordinary.
There will be no fun. I promise.
- Sue explaining why they chose Laura, after buttering her up by saying that the kids like her and that they trust her, she flat out admits that no one else wanted the job.
- Reed Richards mentions he'd say to have fun, but given the pair that might be dangerous. X's reply is either The Comically Serious or her being Deadpan Snarker, the grin on her face makes it hard to tell.
Laura: You want to use a nuclear bomb... to travel in time.
- After being agape at them donning nuclear masks X has to ask what they're up to.
Valeria Richards: It's only five hundred kilotons.
- Laura looks like she has a headache at the answer.
- Every time the dragon sees X, regardless of whether it is it's normal speech or not, it swears.
- X-23. Opposite sex clone of freaking Wolverine. Biggest badass of Evolution bar none taking out, outfighting and outsmarting everyone she comes across. And after their little adventure she helps cleaning up by vacuuming to cover for the kids.
- During a flashback in The Killing Dream Logan (unnecessarily) coaches Laura through sharpshooting. After she pulls the trigger it's revealed that he's with her at an amusement park and they were playing the shooting gallery. Laura has put a round straight through the forehead of one of the prizes, a teddy bear, to the distress and amazement of the carny. When Logan tells her that wasn't what he expected, Laura flatly reminds him he said to aim at what she wanted.
- As they walk away (with the bear in hand!) she comments about how roller coasters are said to make people want to scream and throw up, and wants to try that.
- The whole flashback doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming as well, as Logan does his best to help Laura feel like a normal teenage girl.
Target: X
- Laura's first day in School in the "Target X" miniseries. She gets sent to the principal's office twice with her guide, her cousin Megan.
Megan: What the hell did you say?!
- First, she's asked if she speaks French, and when she's asked to give an example of her French language skill, she proceeds to go into detailed assassination protocols.
- Then, in Biology, after correcting a teacher on how many pints of blood are in a human (5.6, he said 7), she's asked to if she has anything else to add for that class. Cue practical instruction on use of poisons.
- Finally, when visiting the principal's office for the second offense, the principal yells at the pair and asks them if they are even listening. Laura proceeds to repeat what the principal said to them. Exactly. Complete with vocal intonations and inflections.
- Watch Megan's reaction to Laura, at that scene. She's curling up in her chair, basically assuming the fetal position. This is the same girl who was introduced as something of a problem child with lack of respect for others. And she's getting freaked out.
- And then she steals the principal's car.
- Also hilarious is the Shout-Out of the two teachers' designs. Jamie teaches French, Adam biology.
- Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has her dumping Galactus' carcass at Wolverine's home in her ending, bragging how she should be considered the best since she had killed a god. Wolverine's all "Yeah yeah, now get that thing off my lawn."
- One of the cute scenes with Psylocke and X is after Psylocke had just been revived in World's End. She and Laura have rejoined the captured X-Men and the Savage Land mutates, who are preparing to face the Hauk'ka. Psylocke is sitting on a branch, deftly braiding her hair while talking with Bishop. Laura is emulating her in the background, fighting with her hair, trying to get it to behave. A few pages later when the Hauk'ka arrive, Psylocke has moved on to helping Nightcrawler and Bishop un-lock their powers, perfect braid swaying behind her... and X-23 rushes out to fight Raina, with her hair in a messy bun, apparently having given up on it.
- Laura can frequently be seen aping Psylocke's mannerisms and body posture throughout these early Uncanny issues.
- Hilarious in Hindsight once she starts dating Teen!Warren, as lampshaded in Waiting For The Trade◊.
- In an otherwise incredibly grim series, Laura is part of one of the few genuinely hilarious moments in Avengers Arena: As Chase transforms into Darkhawk to take on Apex after he overhears her plans to use the Sentinel and Deathlocket to kill the rest of the kids, he begins to psych himself up for the fight with a Rousing Speech just as Laura runs past...
Chase: Darkhawk is—
Laura: (runs past and yells at him without breaking stride) Stay!
Chase: —staying put!
- After Julian mouths off about her always playing Wolverine in simulations, Laura very clearly makes her irritation known by walking up to him and extending her claws just short of his groin.
Julian: Down, girl.
Rockslide: Ouch.
Julian: Didn't they clone you a sense of humor?
- From All-New X-Men #20, Teen!Bobby putting a lampshade on how terrible an idea it is to make another Wolverine.
Bobby: They make Wolverines? On purpose? ... First I can't get over the fact they purposely made Wolverine. And now I can't get over the fact that after they saw what Wolverine turned out like, they thought it might be a good idea to clone him into a teenage girl.
- And Jean and Kitty's observations after that.
Jean: A girl that Scott Summers quite fancies.
Kitty: Scott Summers fancies the genetic clone of Wolverine?
Jean: Yes, he does.
Kitty: Shudder.
- Probably the best part being that Kitty actually said "shudder," and it was not an onomatopoeia.
- And afterwards, crossing over with Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, Laura's bemused reaction to Teen!Scott giving her a Cool Down Hug when she's freaking out over waking up in a Weapon X facility. Particularly about hugging with an audience.
- Laura's reaction to Hercules posing au naturale when discussing the Greek Olympics in Avengers Academy. While the rest of the students react with shock or embarrassment (and Finesse appraises him curiously), Laura just looks bored.
- At the end of issue 31 of All-New X-Men, Laura and the rest of the O5 are shunted into the Ultimate Marvel universe and scattered across several locations. In issue 32, Laura is revealed to have popped up in the middle of a football field during a game. Her response when her unexpected appearance (and outing herself as a mutant by reflexively popping her claws) nearly triggers a riot from the entire stadium?
Laura: Um...
- And that's followed by a jump cut to Laura on a motorcycle fleeing from dozens of police cars.
- In NYX Kiden finds Laura, stripped of most of her pro gear, the guy who killed himself nearby, she's cutting herself with her claws. Upon realizing she's not alone Laura looks up from what she's doing like it's completely normal and utters a single line:
- A blink and you'll miss it moment from the Trial of Jean Grey when, after successfully rescuing Jean and making their way home, Drax the Destroyer approaches her to ask where he can get a pair of boots with knives in them like Laura's.
Laura: They're built-in.Drax: Nice.

Combining Exercises With the Right Anti-Aging Skin Care Can Get Rid of That Sagging Turkey Neck:
Combining the power of Faiza Cosmetiques' unique botanical anti-aging formulas with the proper facial exercise techniques can produce miraculous results to improve a sagging neck.
Tightening the right muscles and improving collagen performance can transform an aging saggy face without even visiting a plastic surgeon. Products and exercises that target specific areas of the face can have a huge impact on our appearance. It is definitely worthwhile to explore this option first.
Cosmetic surgery has real risks and results are not always pretty. Just take a good look at some of the unnatural faces nowadays. We never used to see such strange facial features before people started overdoing cosmetic surgery and treatments. Most people want to look better not weirder. Of course there is some good cosmetic surgery being done, but when it's bad, it's really bad.
For those of us not ready or interested in surgery, how do we improve our aging necks?
First and foremost, it is essential to find the right anti-aging skin care products. Natural products with active anti-aging ingredients are recommended because their ingredients are better recognized and accepted by the skin. Synthetic and petroleum based products can block pores by creating an impermeable film that gets in the way of skin breathing properly and receiving oxygen. On top of that, chemical agents used in the majority of non-natural products are quite controversial and medical experts question their effects on our overall health.
One natural botanical skin care line that is free of controversial chemicals and absolutely loaded with active anti-aging ingredients is Faiza Cosmetiques from Montreal. Their skin care line is specially designed to improve the signs of aging by targeting wrinkles and a sagging face. In fact, their formulas have special active ingredients that stimulate the skin's own collagen to tighten, thus lifting the face. Additionally, their products moisturize deep into the epidermis, reinforce Keratin and protect skin with powerful antioxidants.
While a great anti-aging skin care line like Faiza Cosmetiques will effectively diminish wrinkles, soften, moisturize and tighten skin while stimulating collagen, you will still have to do some exercises if you want to improve muscle tone under your chin. The good news is that the combined effects of Faiza anti-aging products with exercise will take years off your face.
Before we discuss how to tone up facial muscles it is important to mention that not all facial exercises are good for the skin nor do they all produce desirable results. Anything that stretches skin will create deeper lines and it is absolutely essential that skin stays moisturized with good products. The tiny muscles in the face should not be overworked either. Moderation is key and a gentle approach is best. Beware of some facial exercise techniques because they tend to build up the muscles in the jowl area and we don't want that. Targeted exercises and specialized anti-aging formulas will give the results we seek.
By properly targeting the right muscles and avoiding overstretching the skin, muscle tone in the neck can be improved. This will tighten up that turkey neck even more. Start by lifting your chin all the way up. Push your jaw forward so your bottom teeth are projecting out further than your top row of teeth. You should feel your muscles stretching. Hold this position and count to 10. Slowly lower your chin a few inches and then lift it back up again. Repeat this exercise 20 times remembering to use slow movements while maintaining the stretch of your muscles. Use straight up and down movements without turning your head. Make sure not to tighten the muscles near the jowls by doing anything with your mouth because this will only make that area more pronounced. Let your head movement do all the work keeping your jaw projected. After 20 cycles, lower your chin a bit further than before and then hold to relax and release the muscles. Lift your chin all the way up again and hold for 10 seconds at the highest position. Next, slowly lower your head and repeat the slow head lifts.
This specific exercise combined with the powerful anti-aging active ingredients in Faiza Cosmetiques'

Women's Health
Boric Acid for Vaginal Yeast Infection - Topic Overview
Boric acid is a white, crystalline chemical substance that has antifungal and antiviral properties. It is used in various prescription pharmaceutical products and is also available without a prescription. Some experts now recommend vaginal boric acid capsules as a treatment option for vaginal yeast infections, particularly infections that can't be cured by antifungal yeast infection medicines.1
If you are pregnant, do not use vaginal boric acid treatment.
Recommended Related to Women
Important It is possible that the main title of the report Graves' Disease is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Read the Graves' Disease article > >
How do I use boric acid?
You can make your own boric acid suppositories by filling size 0 gelatin capsules with boric acid (about 600 mg). Standard yeast infection treatment is one capsule inserted in the vagina at bedtime for 7 days. For treatment of recurring yeast infections, standard yeast infection treatment is done for two weeks, and then boric acid can be used twice a week for 6 months to 1 year.2
Is it effective?
More research is needed to find out how well boric acid works. Some studies have shown it cures up to 70 out of 100 women. Symptoms return in some women. Check with your doctor to see if you need to continue using boric acid over several months to relieve your symptoms.1
Is it safe?
When used in capsules as a vaginal suppository, boric acid is only known to sometimes cause skin irritation. But when used by mouth (internally), on open wounds, or by children, boric acid is toxic. Keep boric acid out of the reach of children. Boric acid is not safe to use if you are pregnant.

Dinner tonight is on your own; ask your Ya'lla Tours guide to recommend a paladar, a privately owned restaurant.
Take a walking tour around the historic center of Old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Visit Plaza de San Francisco de Asis and the 16th-century Convento de San Francisco de Asis, one of the finest buildings from the colonial period. The basilica and the monastery of San Francisco de Asis (Saint Francis of Assisi) were built in Havana at the end of sixteenth century (1580–91) as the home of the Franciscan community, and were altered in the baroque style in 1730. The church was used for worship by the English during the year they ruled Havana. When it returned to Spanish rule, they chose not to use it as a church. It is now used for concerts. Attached to the Basilica is a bell tower (138-ft). Originally a statue of St. Francis of Assisi stood on the top of the bell tower but it was destroyed by a cyclone in 1846.
See the 16th-century Plaza Vieja, another of Havana's historic squares, and its surrounding art galleries.
See the Palacio de los Capitanes Generales at Plaza de Armas, where the city was originated. Built in 1776, this stately palace remains as a testament to Cuba's importance as Spain's principal port of the Americas during the 18th century.
Visit Plaza de la Cathedral, where the most prominent building is the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception, seat of Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino, the Cardinal Archbishop of Havana, Cuba. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Christopher (San Cristóbal) and is also known as Cathedral of Saint Christopher.
Visit the Arms Square gallery, where there are a few galleries together, featuring some of Cuba most prominent artists: Artists: Fabelo, Pedro Angel Martinez, Zaida del Rio, Pedro Pablo Oliva, Rancaño and more.
Lunch will be served at the Cafe Oriente restaurant in Old Havana.
Visit the famous El Floridita Bar, birth place of the Daiquiri cocktail and one of Hemingway's favorite Havana bars. In 1953, "Esquire" magazine called it one the world's seven best bars. Since that time El Floridita has been frequented by distinguished visitors to Havana, ranging from artists to official guests of the government. Besides Ernest Hemingway, El Floridita's customers include: the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Gene Tunney, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gary Cooper, Tennessee Williams, Charles Scribner, Spencer Tracey, Rocky Marciano, Ava Gardner, Samuel Eliot Morison, Buck Lanham, and Herbert Matthews.
Stop for pictures outside El Capitolio Nacional (Capitol building). Built in 1929 as the Senate and House of Representatives, the colossal building is recognizable by its dome, which dominates the city's skyline. Inside stands the third largest indoor statue in the world, La Estatua de la República. Today the Capitolio is home to the Cuban Academy of Sciences and the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (the National Museum of Natural History), with the largest natural history collection in the country. (The building is currently under renovation and may not allow visitors inside.)
End the visit to Old Havana at the outdoor handicraft market.
Then on to Callejón de Hammel (Hammel's Alley), a community project promoting Afro-Cuban art, music, and culture. Meet with several artists for a personal look at the thriving arts scene.
End the day with a visit to Christopher Columbus Cemetery with the lavish tombs of wealthy Cubans from before the revolution.
Dinner tonight will be at the Rio Mar, one of the best privately-run, home restaurants.
The dining room is in a terrace on the water with amazing views of the Miramar neighborhood. Transfers to the restaurant will be done in vintage cars.
Top off the day with a wonderful show at the Buena Vista Social Club.
Return to the hotel for overnight.
Depart Havana and drive to Matanzas for a visit to San Severino Castle, where the Museum of Slavery is located. This is one of the largest Spanish fortresses in the Americas, built more than three centuries ago to protect the territory's trade and the area east of Havana against attack by corsairs and pirates. Up until 1978, when it was declared a national monument, it served as a prison. Since then, it has housed the Slave Route Museum. More than 1.3 million slaves were brought to Cuba from different regions of Africa.
Continue Cuba's largest beach resort, Varadero, and have lunch at the DuPont Estate, built by the well-known DuPont family in the late 1940's, when the US – Cuba relationship was at its peak.
Return to Havana for overnight.
Visit the Convento de Belen, a world-renowned community center and social services facility that serves Havana's poorest neighborhoods, with special focus on the elderly and disabled children. The vitality, hope and cooperative spirit of Convento de Belen is truly inspirational and visitors come away deeply touched and eager to support this work. You will have the opportunity to make contributions here.
Visit La Corona Cigar Factory to see the cigar making process.
Continue to the Havana Club Museum of Rum and journey back to the origins of Cuba's most famous beverage. From freshly cut stalks of sugar cane to a refurbished distillery and ageing cellars, the museum offers a real-time experience of the rum-making process, as well as a taste of true Cuban culture. An upstairs gallery features an authentic mule-driven cane mill used in the earliest ingenious (sugar refineries). A historically accurate model of a steam locomotive reminds us that Cuba was the first country in Latin America to use a railway for the transport of sugar cane. The next door leads to a much larger model, the achievement of a master Cuban craftsman. This masterpiece captures the essence of the great sugar refineries and rum distilleries, whose immense chimneys rise as landmarks over the Cuban countryside. At the end of the visit you will have a tasting of the famous Cuban rum.
Then on to Callejón de Hammel (Hammel's Alley), a community project promoting Afro-Cuban art, music, and culture. Meet with several artists for a personal look at the thriving arts scene.
Continue to El Divino Paladar in the countryside, a nice place to see Cuba's vegetation and farms.
Return to Havana and continue to the Centro Hebreo Sefaradi de Cuba. Meet with Dr. Levy, the head of the community and hear about the congregation, their programs and challenges and visit their Holocaust Remembrance Hall.
Lecture at the hotel:
Dr. Carlos Alzugaray Treto from CESEU (Centro de Estudios sobre Estados Unidos) will present an overview of US-Cuban relations. Dr. Alzugaray is a former Cuban diplomat who serves today as the Coordinator of International Strategic Studies.
Dinner tonight is on your own; ask your Ya'lla Tours guide to recommend a paladar
Drive to the entrance of Havana Bay and the largest fortress in the Americas: San Carlos de la Cabaña, built between 1763 and 1774 under the command of Spanish military engineer Don Silvestre Abarca. Carlos III, King of Spain at the time, requested a spyglass and exclaimed: "The Cabaña, such a valuable work, should be spotted from Madrid."
The fortress was used as a military base and a prison for more than two hundred years and Che Guevara made it his headquarters for some months during the Cuban revolution. Today it holds the most important ancient weapon collection of the country.
Continue in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway. The lovely Finca Vigia was Hemingway's home in Cuba for two decades. He bought the house in 1939 and it was opened as a museum in 1964. It contains more than 22,000 original items that belonged to Hemingway, including records, books, paintings, personal documents, photographs, and hunting weapons. Peering inside the house through large windows and strolling around the peaceful grounds, visitors get a good feel for the daily life of the great writer.
Visit the fishing village of Cojimar, which inspired Hemingway's novel The Old Man and the Sea (the 1954 Nobel Prize winner).
Then, we'll have a cooking lesson and lunch at Ajiaco Paladar, a newly opened, private restaurant with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Return to Havana for a visit Arte Corte, a hair salon and museum of hairdressing artifacts founded by Gilberto Valladares, known as Papito, the most recognized hair stylist in Cuba. Papito's cultural project has brought together barbers, hairdressers, models, artists and historians who seek to preserve and disseminate the history of hairdressing in Cuba. Arte Corte started at the Valladares house and expanded its influence, with the support of the Office of the City Historian, to found a school of barbering and hairdressing free for youth of the area. Since Arte Corte was able to work with the government to close off the street from car traffic, more businesses have set up shop in the neighborhood. The group has formed a cooperative to help other businesses get a start, improve the facilities for senior citizens and beautify the neighborhood.
Our Havana farewell dinner will be at the Café Laurent Paladar, one of the best privately-run, home restaurants. The dining room is in a penthouse with amazing views of the Vedado neighborhood.
Depart to the Bay of Pigs (Playa Giron), about a 2-hour drive. A force of U.S.-backed, anti-Castro Cuban exiles attempted to overthrow the Castro regime here in the Battle of the Bay of Pigs. Visit the Museum of Playa Giron.
The Bay of Pigs Invasion, known in Latin America as La Batalla de Girón, was an unsuccessful military invasion of Cuba by the paramilitary group Brigade 2506 in April 1961. A counter-revolutionary militia trained and funded by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Brigade 2506, fronted the armed wing of the Democratic Revolutionary Front (DRF) and intended to overthrow the revolutionary leftist government of President Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado.
Launched from Guatemala, the invading force was defeated within three days by the Cuban armed forces under the command of Prime Minister Fidel Castro. Fourteen hundred paramilitaries, divided into five infantry battalions and one paratrooper battalion set out from Guatemala to Cuba by boat on April 13. On April 15, eight CIA-supplied B-26 bombers attacked Cuban air fields before returning to the U.S., and on the night of April 16, the main invasion landed at Playa Girón beach in the Bay of Pigs. Initially overwhelming a local revolutionary militia, the Cuban Army's counter-offensive was then led by Captain José Ramón Fernández, before Castro decided to take personal control of the operation. On April 20, the invaders finally surrendered, with the majority of troops being publicly interrogated and then sent back to the U.S.
The failed invasion strengthened the position of Castro's administration, which proceeded to openly proclaim their intention to adopt socialism and strengthen ties with the Soviet Union, leading to the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The invasion was a major embarrassment for U.S. foreign policy, with Kennedy ordering a number of internal investigations. Across much of Latin America, it was celebrated as evidence of the fallibility of U.S. imperialism.
Then drive 1 hour to the city of Cienfuegos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site founded in 1819 as the Colony Fernandina de Jagua. The first inhabitants came not only from Spain, but also from a number of French colonies, as well as Bordeaux, Louisiana, Philadelphia and Guárico. This formal foundation followed a series of earlier attempts in this region, where the economy was based on cattle raising and cultivation of tobacco. From the 18th century, there was wax production, as well as timber and sugar. In the 1830s, the colony grew based on sugar production and the favorable geographical location. The settlement was recognized with the category of "Villa" as a confirmation of its urban aspect and was authorized to trade in domestic and foreign fields. In 1840, there were already registered companies in the town and the growth continued in the following decades. In the 1860s, it was the third city of the country. By 1914, American investors owned the most important sugar mills in the province. Trade developed mainly with the United States, the principal market for Cienfuegos. During the Cuban Revolution the city saw an uprising against Fulgencio Batista and was bombed on September 5, 1957.
With the new administrative division of 1976, the city of Cienfuegos became the capital of the province with the same name, increasing its development further. The local administration remained concentrated in the downtown area. As a whole, this area has retained its historic fabric.
Visit the city's foundation, José Martí Park, where the most representative buildings include the Government Palace (City Hall, current office of the Provincial Assembly of the Popular Power), San Lorenzo School, Bishopric, Ferrer Palace, the Terry Theater, Cathedral de la Purisma Concepción, the former Lyceum building and some residential buildings.
Lunch will be at the Villa Lagarto Paladar.
After lunch, visit the Palacio Del Valle restaurant, known for its synthesis of architectural styles. Drive along the 16-block Paseo del Prado promenade, one of the longest in Cuba.
Then, travel about 1½ hours on to Trinidad for overnight.
Our hotel, IBEROSTAR GRAND TRINIDAD, is a 5-star boutique hotel located in the center of Trinidad. The hotel is housed in a beautiful building which has been completely renovated blending beautiful elements of the local architecture and the standards of modern comfort. Grand Trinidad has 40 rooms (36 standard rooms and 4 junior suites) and is for adults only (15 and over). The hotel offers an elegant atmosphere and a wide range of facilities to its visitors. Ideal for those interested getting acquainted with the Villa's outstanding architectural, historical and cultural values.
Dinner will be at the Maliban Paladar, the best paladar in Trinidad!
Return to the hotel for overnight
Spend the morning on a walking tour of Trinidad, a living-museum of Spanish colonialism. The whole city, with its fine palaces, cobbled streets and red-tiled roofs, is a national monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trinidad's prosperity rested on the sugar industry. The city was a cultural center with theaters, schools of language, music, dance and a wide variety of artisans, including gold and silversmiths. Lavish public and private buildings filled the city. During the second half of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution and increased sugar beet production in Europe led to the decline of Trinidad's slavery-based economy. Construction ceased and the city remained frozen in time. Much of the architecture is Neoclassical and Baroque, with a Moorish flavor, reflecting the town's heritage of conquistadors. Visit the Plaza Mayor in the center of town. Around the plaza are the Museo Romantico and the Iglesia Parroquial de la Santisima Trinidad. The Cathedral is the largest church in Cuba and renowned for its acoustics. This is a place to leave donations. Explore the Museo Romantico, which houses a collection of Romantic-style porcelain, glass, paintings and ornate furniture. The museum is located in a colonial mansion with beautiful views over the square from the upper balconies. The adventurous are invited to climb up to the Antiguo Convento de San Francisco de Asis. The tower and church are all that remain of the original convent.
Have lunch at one of the city's best paladars, sol Ananda.
After lunch, visit the Valle de los Ingenios, or Valley of the Sugar Mills, a series of three interconnected valleys about 7.5 miles outside of Trinidad. The three valleys, San Luis, Santa Rosa and Meyer, were a center for sugar production from the late 18th century until the late 19th century. At the peak of the industry in Cuba there were over fifty cane sugar mills in operation in the three valleys with over 30,000 slaves working in the mills and the sugar cane plantations that surrounded them.
Sugar production was an important industry for Cuba from the earliest settlement by the Spanish, who introduced sugar cane to the island in 1512, and trade in the commodity enriched Trinidad and the surrounding areas. The island became the world's foremost producer of sugar during the late 18th and 19th centuries, when sugar production was the main industry.
In 1988, Valle de los Ingenios and neighboring Trinidad were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Although most of the sugar mills are in ruins, intact structures endure at some sites, including Guachinango, where the plantation house remains. Visit the plantation of Manaca Iznaga, where the owner's house, a tower and some barracones (the original slave quarters) still stand. Although the barracones are now used as housing, they are in poor repair. The owner's house has been converted into a restaurant. See the magnificent view from the Iznaga Tower. The 147 ft. tower was constructed sometime in 1816 by the owner, Alejo Maria Iznaga y Borrell. The bell that formerly hung on top of the tower announced the beginning and the end of the work day for the slaves, as well as the times for prayers to the Holy Virgin in the morning, midday and afternoon. It was also used to sound an alarm in case of fire or slave escape.
Return to the hotel for overnight
Dinner tonight is on your own; ask your Ya'lla Tours guide to recommend a paladar or restaurant.
After dinner, we suggest you enjoy one of these famous music venues:
– La Casa De La Musica de Trinidad – where locals and foreigners gather after dark to listen to Cuban music. When it gets "hot" the outdoor arena fills with people dancing to the irresistible beat, an unforgettable experience for any visitor!
– La Cancháchara – famous for its eponymous house cocktail made from rum, honey, lemon and water. Local musicians regularly drop by for off-the-cuff jam sessions and it's not unusual for the Cancháchara-inebriated crowd to break into spontaneous dancing.
– Palenque de los Congos Reales – where traditional music groups play and the Folkloric Ballet of Trinidad and the Cuba-Haiti Dance Company perform. This is the main place for African and Haitian roots music and dance.
Drive about 3 hours to the city of Santa Clara to visit the Ernesto (Che) Guevara Mausoleum. The Argentinean Che Guevara was one of the commanders who fought with Fidel Castro in the war against the dictatorship of Batista in the 1950s. He died in Bolivia in 1967 while leading that country's revolution. His remains were recovered in 1998 and buried in this memorial in Santa Clara Revolution Square.
Visit the Armored Train Battle Monument, the site where guerrilla forces commanded by Che Guevara defeated reinforcements sent in an armored train (tren blindado) by Batista's army in 1958. The monument site includes original armored boxcars with displays of photos, armaments and artifacts inside, and a bulldozer used by the rebels to derail the train.
Lunch will be served at Los Caneyes.
Then, transfer to Cienfuegos airport for your CTS Charters flight # 8811 (operated by Sun Country Airlines), leaving at 8:30pm and arriving Miami at 9:30pm. (Flight times are not final and are subject to approval and change).

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Ankle sprains are common injuries that can result in lifelong problems. Some people with repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term joint pain and weakness. Treating a sprained ankle can help prevent ongoing ankle problems.
Rehabilitation (rehab) exercises are critical to ensure that the ankle heals completely and reinjury does not occur.
- You can begin healing by walking or bearing some weight, while using crutches if needed, if you can do so without too much pain.
- Start rehab with range-of-motion exercises in the first 72 hours after your injury. Continue with further rehab, including stretching, strength training, and balance exercises, over the next several weeks to months.
- You can do rehab exercises at home or even at the office to strengthen your ankle.

TNF Fantasy Starters: Bills Vs. Jets - Who To Play, Who To PassThe New England Patriots are the clear favorite to win the AFC East, but there's plenty of opportunity for the rest of the division to secure a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.
Opponent Profile: Cardinals Come To Town With Carson Palmer, Hope To Keep Raiders WinlessNext up for the 2014 Oakland Raiders: the Arizona Cardinals, the team currently leading the tough NFC West with a 4-1 record this season. The Cardinals aren't a dominating team, however, and if the Silver & Black can play well for a second week in a row for once, they may have a shot at the upset at the Coliseum.
Thursday Night Football Breakdown: Indianapolis Colts At Houston TexansCould this be it-the first competitive Thursday night game of the 2014 NFL season? The Colts visit Houston as just a three-point favorite, and both teams are 3-2, so at the risk of being the Mary Swanson to your Lloyd Christmas, I'm saying there's a chance.
AFC West Just Looks Tougher And Tougher For Raiders Each WeekIncluding Sunday's Week Five action, the San Diego Chargers are 4-1, the Denver Broncos are 3-1, and the Kansas City Chiefs are 2-3. Each team has a positive points differential, while the Oakland Raiders are 0-4 with a minus-52 differential. Yes, it's going to be a long season for the Silver & Black.
Opponent Profile: Houston Texans Bring NFL's Top Defensive Star Into Cowboys GameThe Dallas Cowboys battle the Houston Texans in week five of the 2014 NFL season and will have to combat the best defensive lineman in the NFL today.
Opponent Profile: Are The Miami Dolphins A Beatable Opponent For The Raiders In London?There are two things going for the Oakland Raiders this week, as they prepare for their Week Four game in London, England: first, they play the Miami Dolphins, and second, the game is at a neutral site. The Silver & Black can beat the Dolphins, and they won't have the pressure of performing in front of a home crowd.
Raiders' Road Just Gets Rougher With Trip To New England In Week 3The Oakland Raiders are 0-2 with no relief in sight, as they travel to New England to take on the Patriots in Week Three. That's not the remedy for what ails the Silver & Black, of course, so it could be an ugly week for the team. Be prepared, Oakland fans, for a disastrous road trip.
Raiders Defense Fails In Home Opener Against TexansIt was an ugly, ugly day for the Oakland Raiders in their 2014 home opener, as the offense couldn't get anything going until late, and the defense did a Swiss cheese impression from the opening whistle.
MJD, Roach Biggest Injury Concerns For Raiders Heading Into Week 2Two weak spots from Week One—the running game and the defense—could struggle again in Week Two if Maurice Jones-Drew and Nick Roach can't get healthy in time to face the Houston Texans at the Coliseum on Sunday.
Raiders Defense Has To Be Better In Week 2 If Oakland Wants A WinThe Oakland Raiders gave up 402 yards in their opener against the New York Jets on the road, even though they gave up just 19 points. Some of that was due to the Jets QB struggling to hold on to the ball, of course, but the Silver & Black defense will need to be a lot tougher at home in Week Two for the Raiders to emerge victorious against an efficient Houston Texans offense.
Raiders Hope For Brighter Days In Week 2 Matchup Against TexansWeek Two looks tougher for the Oakland Raiders now that the Houston Texans posted their first win in almost a year. Can the Raiders win their home opener? Sure, they can, if both the offense and the defense play better than they did in Week One against the New York Jets on the road.
