Crop And Save
Now and Then (1995)
Young and experienced talents carry the film well
I have heard so many people refer to this film as a female version of "Stand by Me." Yes, I see similarities between the two films, mainly along the lines of friendship, growing up, family issues, the dead, and drifting apart with age. But I must say like "Now and Then" better. Some parts are cheesy, but it has a great message and is timeless.
Four childhood friends: Samantha, Roberta, Tina, and Chrissy make a pact one summer to be there for one another when needed. Twenty five years later, they all reunite in their hometown for the birth of Chrissy's baby. As 12-year-olds in the summer of 1970, they dealt with issues such as divorce, the war in Vietnam, ambition for stardom and wealth, local bullies, and a murder mystery. They had each other when their families were absent or indifferent to them. They promised to be there for each other through the good and the bad, no matter what happened in life. They fulfill their promise, but how have they changed? Will they remain close through it all?
While the adult actors: Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, Melanie Griffith, and Rita Wilson provide great opening and closure to the film, it is the young actors who carry its weight. Gaby Hoffmann, Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, and Ashleigh Aston Moore, respectively, play their roles with genuine believability. They have their limitations, but who doesn't? We are led to believe that somehow, they will succeed. An elderly man tells it best to one of them: Things will happen to you in your life that you can't control, but don't shut out the world around you. Life is not always fair, and we all have to grow up. But the film is a great reminder that in a cynical day and age, our friends are not lost!
The Breakfast Club (1985)
One of the best portrayals of adolescent life ever done
John Hughes is in my opinions the "king of teens." Each of his teen films is great, from "Sixteen Candles", "Pretty in Pink" (which he co-wrote and produced), and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." They all have funny and serious moments and are classics. By the same token, "The Breakfast Club" is no exception. However, it stands out as doing the best job of the above films at portraying 80s teen life (and perhaps even teen life today) as it really was (is). Hence the familiar plot: Five high school students from different crowds in school (a nerd, a jock, a prom queen, a delinquent, and a loner) are thrown together for a Saturday detention in their school library for various reasons. Detention is supervised by the gruff and demeaning principal Richard Vernon, believably portrayed by Paul Gleason. As the day progresses, each member tells the story of why they are in detention, and by day's end they realize they have more in common than they ever imagined.
What makes the film unique is that each character tells his or her own story with credibility and persistence. Jock Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez) is under pressure from his father to perform up to high standards, which Mr. Clark believes will add to his (dad's) lost youth. Nerd Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) excels academically, but is failing shop class. Neither he nor his family can accept an F. Delinquent John Bender (Judd Nelson), while tough on the exterior, masks a difficult home life. Prom queen Claire(Molly Ringwald) has pressure to conform from her friends, as well as issues with her parental unit. Loner Allison (Ally Sheedy) has few if any friends, wears all black, and has similar problems at home. Can the emotional bonding they share in detention hold true beyond the library, and can stereotypes be broken?
"The Breakfast Club" presents no-doubt stereotypical characters, and every member represents countless real-life examples. But what makes it so enjoyable is that applies a variety of themes to its context: prejudice/discrimination, acceptance/tolerance, diversity, class/status differences, family matters, group dynamics, etc. It also encourages us to look at others and ourselves beyond surface-level appearances. Finally, "The Breakfast Club" has great 1980s pop culture and societal integrations, from the soundtrack with Simple Minds "Don't You (Forget about Me), to wealthy, surburban American life (haves and have nots), and superficial values of the "me" decade. It reminds us that there truly is diversity in all of us. We are different, but we are all "the same" in one way or another.
Big (1988)
A terrific comedy/fantasy and great early role for Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks earned his first Oscar nomination in the late 1980s with the Penny Marshall comedy/fantasy "Big." I saw it for the first time when I was about 9, and have loved it ever since. I like how it is aimed at both the kid and adult in all of us!
Young Josh Baskin (David Moscow) goes with his family to a carnival one evening, and sees the girl of his dreams. When he finally works up the nerve to talk to her, her date appears with her. Then, he does not meet the height requirement for the roller coaster ride he wants to go on. So, off he goes to a deserted part of the carnival to the "Zoltar" machine, a devil's head encased in glass, to "make his wish." He wishes he "were big." Suffice it to say, Josh wakes up the next morning to discover he is an adult (Tom Hanks). Mom (Mercedes Ruehl) thinks he kidnapped her son, and calls the police. Josh eventually convinces best friend Billy (Jared Rushton) that he (Josh) is his true 13-year-old self trapped in a man's body. They take off to New York, where Josh manages to get a job as a product tester for a large toy company. He befriends the boss (Robert Loggia), who likes Josh's understanding of the toys kids really like. However, Josh finds himself at odds with Paul (John Heard), vice president of marketing, who perceives Josh's simplistic views as an invasion of Paul's more experienced, competitive ways. Never fear, as successful co-worker Susan Lawerence (Elizabeth Perkins) finds comfort in Josh's views and company, and falls in love with him. But the more Josh experiences the privileges and responsibilities of adulthood, the more he longs for his youth again. Should he stay with Susan or find the Zoltar machine and wish to be a kid again?
An impressive film about growing up and making wishes. When you're a kid, you can't wait to grow up. But when you're an adult, you have to make sacrifices and accept responsibility, ideal and not-so-ideal. Also, be careful what you wish for, as you might get it! A Broadway musical version of "Big" opened in the mid-1990s. The piano dancing sequence is its trademark. I had the privilege to play the role of Paul (the John Heard character) in a summer musical production, and loved it! I highly recommend both the film and the musical!
Footloose (1984)
A great story and dance musical
Of all dance films, "Footloose" ranks up there with "Dirty Dancing." It is a great film with an excellent Top 40 soundtrack. It was later made into a highly successful Broadway musical. But the story really makes the film a hit.
Kevin Bacon is Ren McCormick, a Chicago teenager who moves with his mother to a small Midwestern town called Bomont after his father leaves. Bomont is a conservative, Bible belt community run by Reverend Shaw Moore (John Lithgow). As the new kid, Ren is seen as a rebel and has difficulty fitting in to the straight-laced ways of Bomont, including a ban on dancing. Things get complicated when he takes up with Ariel (Lori Singer), the minister's daughter. Shaw will not hear of this because Ren "is a troublemaker." Furthermore, Ren decides the high school should throw a dance, and the town should reverse the no-dancing law! As one can guess, this will be difficult if not impossible. Shaw Moore will do everything in his power to keep the law in place, because dancing "is a sin." Amidst this, wife Vi (Dianne Wiest), while supportive of her husband, feels Shaw has drifted away from the family-oriented man he once was, and longs for these days again. Throw in there a humorous subplot involving Willard (Chris Penn), who doesn't know how to dance and befriends Ren. Can Ren convince Shaw Moore and Bomont that a dance will bring not only renewed freedom of expression, but also emotional and spiritual healing?
"Footloose" is a story that could have taken place, as there are some, however few, real-life communities like Bomont. But the testament of the story rests in the lead's ability to do something different: challenge the ways of the church and the town for a chance at a better life. The soundtrack provides excellent support with Pop/Rock, R & B, and slow ballads. Combine the drama and musical genres, and you have one great story for the stage and screen.
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
A hilarious and relevant film at the same time
Robin Williams is one of the funniest comedians of all time, and "Mrs. Doubtfire" is no exception. Williams is able to be funny and serious without going overboard. Sally Field and his co-stars carry the film quite well in their own unique way also, which is why I believe so many people enjoy it.
Daniel Hillard (Williams) is a loving and devoted father but is always moving between acting jobs. One irresponsible incident proves one too many for wife Miranda (Field), and she files for divorce. She wins sole custody of the children: Lydia, Chris, and Natalie. But Daniel is given visitation rights only on Saturdays. Then, Miranda reveals she is placing a newspaper ad for a housekeeper. In order to have a chance for the job, Daniel must transform himself into "Mrs. Doubtfire", a British nanny, and don a wig, glasses, lots of makeup, padding, high heels, and a British accent. Mirands hires "Doubtfire" on the spot, and the kids grow to love "her." But how long will it be before the cat gets out of the bag? Also, how will Miranda's relationship with Stu (Pierce Brosnan), her new beau, progress?
You have to see it to believe it. I thought it was funny when it came out back in 1993, and I still do! This is a great film with a message about the pains of divorce, and working through it to become better people and parents. A reminder that no one is perfect, but that love somehow prevails!
The Goonies (1985)
The best adventure movie of all time
I have been a fan of "The Goonies" since I was about 5 years old. I taped 2 different copies on cable, then bought it on home video, and finally on DVD. I have to say the DVD and its bonus features (i.e. deleted scenes, a "Making of The Goonies" featurette, current audio commentary with Donner and the actors, etc) are excellent!
Mikey, Brand, Chunk, Mouth, Data, Andy, and Stef follow a map and go searching for buried treasure via caves and waterfalls in an abandoned restaurant along the Oregon coast. They do this because they believe it (the treasure of legendary pirate One Eyed Willie) will save their homes from being torn down by land developers who want to build an upscale golf course. The problem is that a group of ex-convicts (the Fratellis) also want the treasure, and are using the abandoned restaurant as a hideout. Moreover, the Fratellis will crush anything and anyone in the way of their goals. Can the Goonies find the treasure before its too late?
I must say "The Goonies" has it all: stereotypical but likable characters, awesome visual and sound effects via Steven Spielberg, Richard Donner, and Industrial Light and Magic, as well as integrations of 1980s pop culture (Cyndi Lauper's "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough", Mouth wearing Prince's "Purple Rain" shirt, etc). Product placement is also highly evident: Baby Ruth, Rocky Road, Domino's Pizza. The sets, costumes, and props are wonderful as well (I have a Hawaiian shirt similar to the one Chunk wears). If you are a child of the 1980s, "The Goonies" is a must see! It truly brings out the kid in you!
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Has to be by far the best of all the "Vacation" movies
I have to say that "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" is the funniest and best of all the "Vacation" movies with Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, and Randy Quaid. The Griswold's really have a knack for making the best of bad and hilariously funny situations. This is what makes it so enjoyable in my opinion.
Both Clark and Ellen's families visit the Griswold's at home for the holidays. In a nutshell, everything that could possibly go wrong pretty much does, from an overcrowded house, to divided and contemptuous relatives, rude neighbors, uncaring bosses, and mishaps with Christmas decorations and foods. In the end, Clark sets out to prove to his family the true meaning of Christmas. You have to see it to believe it.
Everyone shines, from the Griswold kids (Lewis and Galecki are hilarious), to the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and significant others. A great film to be enjoyed each holiday season!
I Am Sam (2001)
Brilliant piece of acting and film-making
I first saw "I Am Sam" with a friend almost three years ago, and I thought it was wonderful. Sean Penn got the chance to do something different here: rise to the challenge of playing a father with mental retardation. To do this well, one must temporarily "put away" him/her self and "put on" his/her character. Like Tom Hanks in "Forrest Gump" and Dustin Hoffmann in "Rain Man", this film has a similar effect.
Sean Penn plays Sam Dawson, a single father with the IQ of a 7-year-old. The mother, believed to be a homeless woman, abandoned him and his daughter when the daughter was born. He names his daughter Lucy, after the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." He raises her on Starbucks coffee wages for some time. She is obviously very bright, and exceeds most expectations in school. But when she turns 7 herself, it's obvious she is avoiding doing well so that she won't appear to be more advanced than her father. This arouses the concern of school personnel and social services, who take Lucy away and place her in foster care. With the help of Sam's friends/roommates, co-workers, and high-priced, tough-nosed, lawyer Rita Harrison (Michelle Pfeiffer), he works to get Lucy back. But it won't be easy. The courts do everything they can to prove Sam has nothing close to the intelligence and skills required to raise Lucy successfully. He and Lucy believe "Love is all you need", however. To add to this, Rita has her own problems at home. Sam sets out to help her see things differently, and in the process learn more about herself. Dakota Fanning shines as Lucy. Also, Dianne Wiest has a small supporting role as a neighbor who defends Sam's love for Lucy.
I recommend "I Am Sam" for everyone. In our increasingly diverse and inclusive society, those with mental challenges are people too. They deserve as much of a chance as possible in the "real world", even with assistance. Everyone is "gifted" in one way or another, and must show it. Kudos to the incredible acting and film-making.
Roseanne (1988)
A true and hilarious slice of life
I must say that "Roseanne" has got to be by far one of my all-time favorite television sitcoms. I watched it for its entire run on ABC from 1988 to 1997, and still watch it in reruns on Nick at Nite. It was a welcome departure from most family sitcoms of the time (i.e. Full House, Family Matters, The Cosby Show). While interesting and diverse (I watched them sometimes), these shows often lacked the portrayal of the typically less than ideal realities of everyday life. "Roseanne" was different in that it showed, to the extent possible, people as they really are. It proved that working class people and families can make you laugh. They don't have to be rich, blond, and thin to be funny.
Roseanne Barr plays Roseanne Conner, a hard-working, sarcastic, but lovable wife and mother who is never short of "telling it like it is." John Goodman plays her husband Dan Conner, tough but lovable to mom and the kids. Oldest daughter Becky is the most rebellious and loves boys. Middle child Darlene is the tomboy, and takes after Roseanne with her sarcastic wit. Youngest child DJ takes after his father. Along for the ride is Roseanne's younger unmarried sister, Jackie, played by Laurie Metcalf. While intelligent and well-meaning like Roseanne, Jackie is much more naive and gullible. Other characters include Crystal, who later marries Dan's father Ed. Roseanne and Jackie's mother Bev, the domineering, passive-aggressive guru, is a recurring character. Among many others, we also have Becky's boyfriend and later husband Mark, Darlene's boyfriend David, friend Nancy (Sandra Bernhard), and Roseanne's boss at the restaurant, Leon (Martin Mull). Jackie later gives birth to son Andy, and Roseanne and Dan have a son Jerry.
Over the years, Roseanne and Dan face many challenges that keep them on their toes. They bounce from one job to another before landing modest steady employment. Becky challenges them the most, especially when it comes to Mark. Darlene is similar when it comes to David. DJ keeps somewhat in the background in the early years, but becomes more prominent as he gets older. Jackie has many different careers and relationships, sometimes bizarre. The Conners lose more than they win, but through it all they "get by." This is why I enjoyed the show so much. It showed that life does not always go the way we want it to, unlike a lot of other shows, and we have to deal with this. But somehow we get by too!
While I did not enjoy the last season as much (it was too far removed from it's original objective), it still ranks up there on my list of favorites. People of all races, ethnicities, ability levels, creeds, sizes, orientations, etc are just like us. This is how life is and truly should be!
Mr. Mom (1983)
One of my family's all-time favorities
Of all comedies that I have seen in my 23 years, "Mr. Mom" has got to be one of the best and funniest of them all. I have been a fan of this movie since I was about 4 years old! To be exact, I think I taped three different copies on cable and network until I bought it on video and finally on DVD!
Michael Keaton plays Jack Butler, who, along with several co-workers, loses his job at an auto plant due to layoffs. To make ends meet, wife Caroline (Teri Garr) gets a job at an advertising agency, and he stays home with the kids. Easy, right? Absolutely not! From out of control vacuum cleaners, washing machines and toasters, to the neighborhood ladies, including Joan (Ann Jillian), who has her eye on Jack, running the household is horrendous. On top of this, Caroline is climbing the corporate ladder. But success comes with a price in the form of long hours, travel, and persistence from boss Ron (Martin Mull), who sets his sights on Caroline. Can Jack and Caroline keep the family together despite these woes?
It is my belief that "Mr. Mom" is one of the best comedies of all time, and features Michael Keaton and Teri Garr at their best. People of all ages should see this movie. It shows how successful familial role revearsals have the power to be, and demonstrates how to challenge previous stereotypes about career and family. A great film not to be missed!

Paxfest honors newborn whose life was cut short by cancer
Paxton Andrews' parents thought their newborn had a cold when they took him to the pediatrician. Sadly, it turned out that he had cancer. He died just shy of 5 months old.
His parents, John and Danna, who live in Bay View, decided to honor his memory last year with the inaugural Paxfest, which featured local bands including Fever Marlene and Maritime and food from Maxie's Southern Comfort and Blue's Egg. The event raised more than $15,000 for the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research co-founded by Milwaukee native and Elektra Records president Jeff Castelaz, and named after his late son Pablo. »Read Full Article

Error 3:Flaire's VS Mugshot is missing her dye of yellow hair in her side bangs and back hair(eh random names for them,kay?I'm no hair specialist).Also,in case you didn't notice,the US VS sign isn't actually supposed to have that dot overlapping the S,only the Japanese one does.But it doesn't really show much,so meh. =P Also(optional error),Flaire's VS Mugshot would actually look better if the VS Sprite wasn't cropped like that,in my opinion.Or you could just slightly crop her lower to draw more of the upper portion of her head...
So that's all!And...eh Lavapho's new sprite kinda reminds me of Tails Doll with that empty creepy emotionless look...Any chance you could change it back to the old sprite?I won't have nightmares then... x0 So yeah that's the end,so bye.
Actually most of those aren't errors, just differences in style. The shadows are indeed errors, but having someone taller than the hero and the vs bar changes are just aesthetics that differ from the norm a little.
Anyways it's a great update Elaynii, I love the little descriptions you have before choosing your starter. Good luck, and hopefully we'll be seeing more updates soon!

good customer service

I had a great time at this hotel. They really try to make it feel like home. It was noisy near the room that we were initially put in, it was near the front desk, and because I'm pregnant I needed it to be a little quiet so that I could rest when needed. My husband spoke to the staff and they changed our room without any problems. It was really appreciated.

© 1996 – Routledge
272 pages
The end of the Soviet system and the transition to the market in Russia, coupled with the inexorable rise of nationalism, has brought to the fore the centuries-old debate about Russia's relationship with Europe. In Russia and the Idea of Europe Iver Neumann discusses whether the tensions between self-referencing romantic nationalist views and Europe-orientated liberal views can ever be resolved.
Drawing on a wide range of Russian sources, Neumann outlines the argument as it has unfolded over the last two hundred years, showing how Russia is caught between the attraction of an economically, politically and socially more developed Europe, and the attraction of being able to play a European -style inperial role in less-developed Asia.
Neumann argues that the process of delineating a European "other" from the Russian self is an active form of Russian identity formation. The Russian debate about Europe is also a debate about what Rusia is and should be.
'Neumann's book therefore provides a useful background to understanding current Russian security policies which agree to co-operate with the West on equal terms while at the same time adopting Eurasianist policies in Belarus and vis-a-vis.' - The Journal of Strategic Studies, Vol 21, No.4 Dec 98

Artist Statement
Inspired by fairy tales, natural science, Sci-Fi, art history, and the decorative arts, my work brings together layered elements which are psychological rather than literal stories. Keeping these concepts in mind, I created a design referencing my personal fantasy world filled with the local animals and my costumed figures that contrasts with the urban terrain.

"Supremely High Octane"
Location of box art: 8th & N Streets
As a commercial photographer Donald Satterlee is known for creating, beautifully lit, slick images of electronic devices of all sorts. In total contrast, Donald's personal work often takes on a grungy textural look that replicates the patina of a rusty old machine.
Donald frequently teaches Photoshop compositing techniques at the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center.
Artist Statement
A photo of a weathered old gas pump triggered the inspiration to create this piece entitled Supremely High Octane for the Utility Box Project.
The piece incorporates 5 images taken around Northern California. The pumps were taken at the Empire Mine in Grass Valley and in Broderick. The riveted sides are images of the huge train engine parked behind the California Auto Museum. An abandoned fire truck in Williams provided the gauges and an image from the Folsom Powerhouse Museum provided the blue pipes. All the elements were composited using Photoshop, after which, layers of texture were added to create the aging patina.
Arturo Romero
"Siempre Juntos"

Location of box art: 15th & Q Streets
Arturo Romero was born in Southern California and is currently working out of Sacramento, CA. His work has been in local competitions, displayed in galleries and exhibitions including : The Temp, Raw Artist, Blue Lamp, Sac Fine Arts Center, and Stashcity.com (a Sacramento-based street fashion site).

Romero is also a regular participant in Sacramento's Second Saturday events.
Artist Statement
The goal behind most of my artwork is to positively stimulate the viewer's mind by using bright, bold colors and patterns. I aim to spark the curiosity and imagination, no matter the age. For this particular project, ancient designs inspired a piece that represents the union of man with his fellow animals, deliberately engaging the viewer to walk around the utility box, capturing there sense of wonder at whats around the corner. The title translates into
"Together Forever" my contribution to Sacramento's art scene. Public projects of this nature are critical to a communities identity. I am both proud and humbled to do my part for this wonderful city.

"Night Rhythms" & "Giant Orange" (above)

"Figures Passing" & "Toast" (below, click image to enlarge)
Location of box art: 16th & L Streets
Combining the traditional medium of acrylic paint with new technology, motorized parts, and LED lights, Piskoti's works border on satire, while commenting on important social issues ranging from the death penalty to America's eating habits.
After receiving his Masters in Art from Yale University, Jim Piskoti taught painting and printmaking at the California State University, Stanislaus in Turlock until his recent retirement in 2005. His large-scale paintings are meticulous depictions of the darker side of California life. Interactivity plays a key role in his mixed media work, as viewers activate sensors that set the work in motion. Since the audience becomes physically engaged with his 'hands on' work, they are forced to contemplate their own lifestyle choices and their relationship to Piskoti's subjects.
Breaking from the typical rectangular format, Piskoti paints on wood and shapes each surface to suit the activities of his characters. Although Piskoti touches on difficult issues such as environmental destruction, social inequalities, and America's dependence on technology, his work remains playful, as seen in his use of bright, pop art colors. His dynamic art is a testament to the fast paced life of the average American, in perpetual motion through challenging urban and suburban settings.
Piskoti's painting titled, "Justice" is on display in the Crocker Art Museum's The Californian art collection.

Original Medium: Photography
Website: www.sacramentofarmersandchefs.com
Location of box art: 9th & Capitol Ave
Janine Mapurunga is a native of northeastern Brazil. She grew up between Fortaleza, a bustling coastal metropolis, and Viçosa do Ceará, a small country town nestled atop forested mountains. This duality greatly influenced her decision to leave home at the age of 16 and embark in the series of movements that her life would become. The starting point was California, where she pursued undergraduate studies and developed a career in photography. At the Sacramento City College she discovered documentary photography through the work of Andy DeLucia and at UC Davis she was exposed to the study of culture and belief through theories founded in anthropology. Her teaching career began at the Sacramento City College where, at age 23, she was both the first woman and youngest instructor to teach in the photography department. While pursuing graduate work at the University of Barcelona, she began to discover the possibilities that can spring when combining documentary photography, installation, video and poetry.
Her first documentary project involving video took place in Sri Lanka, where she lived in a secluded village in the rainforest for 6 months. Since then her work has taken her to Costa Rica, the Canary Islands, Spain, Italy, and back to Brazil. Today Janine divides her time between creating commissioned photography work and developing documentary projects in the United States and abroad.
Artist Statement
If you asked me to choose one word by which to define my work, I would choose Storytelling.
A curiosity about the human condition and an eagerness to connect with others are the main driving forces behind my work. In my projects I provide an opportunity for people to tell their story and, in so doing, I establish a connection with them.
Sandra Hernandez
Original Medium: Oil Paint
Website: http://vergeart.com/artist/sandy-hernandez/profile
Location of box art: 15th & N Streets
Sandra Hernandez's work is focused on the nostalgia of childhood toys. Some toys are time capsules of the cultural context, others are simply memorable because they are tied to a child's unique interests. Children create and project their sense of self onto the toys that they play with. So in many ways, the toys become a part of who that child is. Hernandez's paintings remind us of the world we explored as children and our ability for boundless imagination.

Location of box art: 9th & O Streets
Gioia Fonda is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in two-dimensional media (painting, drawing, sewing and photography) with occasional forays in sculpture, performance and new media. Her subject matter is wide ranging from working in a colorful non-objective manner to directly addressing the fallout of the Great Recession. A resident member of Verge Center for the Arts, she is a dedicated member of the Sacramento art community contributing as artist, curator, jurist and collaborating artist. She has a bi-coastal art education receiving her BFA at the California College of the Arts in Oakland and her MFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She is a tenured professor of art at Sacramento City College.
Artist Statement
I'm a declarer of holidays, a transmitter of trivia, a cultural argonaut and a faux anthropologist. I am simultaneously both neophyte and virtuoso of many skills. I'm a hypothetical historian, a connoisseur of tedium and a collector of the world's flotsam. It's by virtue of these proclivities that I create. I wanted my electrical box to evoke a sense of color and playfulness that may be in short supply during the average workday downtown. Many of the elements of this composition were created with repurposed materials familiar to all. It is my hope that a person that walks by this piece often will notice new things with subsequent viewings.

With the new 1-series, BMW is offering a new dimension in dynamics and lifestyle. And with the 1-series F20 (5-doors) and F21 (3-doors), Aachen-based tuning experts AC Schnitzer are also offering even more individuality and driving pleasure. For the M 135i by AC Schnitzer the company has several tuning elements up its sleeve.
In its standard configuration, the six-cylinder 3.0-liter engine produces 320 HP (235 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque, but after AC Schnitzer works its magic power is increased to 360 HP (265 kW) without increasing CO2 emissions.

Ford Case: By June 2009, Ford Motor Company was the only remaining member of Detroit%u2019s %u201CBig Three%u201D to have escaped bankruptcy. Chrysler had filed for Chapter 11 protection on April 30; General Motors had followed on June 1. For Chief Financial Officer, Lewis Booth, the eight months since his appointment in November 2008 had involved unremitting pressure. The financial crisis that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 had engulfed the entire U.S. automobile sector. By the time President Obama took office in January 2009, U.S. auto sales were half of those a year previously. This fall in demand was unprecedented in the industry%u2019s history. Ford reported a $14.7 billion loss for 2008; a result of which was the elimination of stockholders%u2019 equity.
Ford's (Case 4) challenge in meeting the needs of shareholders versus stakeholders. What ethical challenges and dilemmas might this pose?
How should a corporate strategy be adjusted to meet those challenges? Provide rationale for your answer.Using concepts from Chapter 3 of Contemporary Strategy Analysis, address how Ford's position in the global auto industry impacts these strategic choices.
Compare Ford's situation to Google's
Google%u2019s announcement on July 7, 2009 that it would be adding a computer operating system to its Chrome internet browser set off shock waves through the IT community. The much-heralded battle between Google and Microsoft for dominance of cyberspace had taken a major step closer. This emerging %u201CBattle of the Titans%u201D was a gift for news editors. Stock analysts were less impressed; they were awaiting the announcement of Google%u2019s second quarter financial results on July 15. Their key concern was that Google%u2019s many ambitious new initiatives were adding cost and distracting management at a time when advertising revenues were being squeezed by the economic downturn. Chris O%u2019Brien of the San Jose Mercury summed up the feelings of many in a blog entitled %u201CGoogle%u2019s growing identity crisis%u201D:
There are a handful of reasons people generally cite for Google%u2019s success. The power of its search engine algorithm. The elegance of a business model that matches text ads to searches. A restless, innovative culture continually striving to improve and evolve its products. Here%u2019s what always struck me about Google: its simplicity. At the start, Google did one thing phenomenally well. Its search engine was so superior that the company%u2019s name became synonymous with search itself. And its home page was, and remains, a visual model of simplicity: a sea of white space, the Google logo, a search box, a couple of links%u2014and no ads. The homepage aside, though, Google increasingly feels like a company running in a thousand directions at once. Over the past year, it has released a steady stream of high-profile products that seem to have little or no relation to the core identity expressed on its corporate homepage: %u201CGoogle%u2019s mission is to organize the world%u2019s information and make it universally accessible and useful.%u201D The problem is that in expanding into so many different areas%u2014productivity applications, mobile operating system, a Web browser%u2014that the identity of Google itself has become muddled. No doubt, this all follows some clear logic from inside the Googleplex. But from the outside, it%u2019s getting harder every day to articulate what Google is. Is it a Web company? A software company? Something else entirely?1
How are the situations for these two companies similar and different? What do you learn about strategy formulation from this comparison?

It appears that the potential to lose web site customers is a high rate (75%), so to provide research into troubleshooting to determine how to get customers to purchase product is an excellent idea. I believe that its an important step for Andrew and the team to research certain areas such as problem recognition, purchase/post customer responses, to understanding buying behavior. Once a company determines how to attract and help buyers to complete the on-line buying process will create a successful company.

Twisted Lid's anything-goes rock
Bob Bafik previously played in Can't Spell Bob, a band that played album cuts and more obscure songs from the classic rock catalog.
His new band is more like Bob, the Erie FM station that boasts "we play anything." Except Twisted Lid's "anything" means rock hits from the 1960s to today, not any other genre.
Music fans might hear Kings of Leon, Aerosmith, Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Seether, Stone Temple Pilots and Collective Soul, for starters, when Twisted Lid opens for the M-80s at Friday's Party in the Plaza at Colony Plaza.
Is there a common denominator for what makes the Twisted Lid playlist?
"No, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing," Bafik said. "I talked to Rob Neville of the M-80s; I've known him forever. We kind of have like a musical sounding board. His thoughts are people like the M-80s (because) they know what to expect.
"For better or worse, we play a little bit of everything. Do you gain or do you lose support? I don't know. I'm still trying to figure it out."
They'll know more the more they play, including Aug. 16 at Sloppy Duck and Aug. 22, again with M-80s, at the Harborcreek Community Days.
In addition to Bafik, Twisted Lid includes several Erie music vets: drummer Rick Krasinski (Joe Rockhead), guitarist Paul Kucharski (Slow Profile) and bassist John Huegel, a jazz and big-band stalwart who's played with Charles Ventrello and Doug Dressler.
Everybody sings, so they trade off lead vocals and like to harmonize.
"We have some pretty good harmonies at work," Bafik said. "Rick, he's one of the best in town. John, he's kind of a consummate musician; he's very solid with an extensive musical background. Paul is a knock-it-out-the-park guitar player.
Bafik, meanwhile, was anxious to sing and play guitar again after Can't Spell Bob ended a few years ago.
"With Can't Spell Bob we were trying to do stuff that nobody else was doing," he said. "The problem with that was Erie wants recognizable, danceable music. That's kind of what we're hitting the ground running with, with this particular project."
And that includes "Long Train Running" by the Doobie brothers, too.

UW-Stevens Point chancellor bought drinks before accident
Madison - The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point chancellor bought three alcoholic drinks in the two hours before she left the scene of a car accident but said Wednesday she wasn't impaired.
Chancellor Linda Bunnell acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press that she bought a cocktail and two glasses of wine at the Madison Club before the Feb. 17 accident in downtown Madison. But she said she had time to drink only one of the three and was not tipsy at the time of the crash with her state vehicle.
Police say Bunnell hit an unoccupied parked vehicle with her state-owned Toyota Camry and left the scene without telling anyone. She said she didn't stop because she was in a hurry to get to Gov. Jim Doyle's budget speech and thought the damage was minor, not because she had been drinking.
When she spoke with police about two hours after the accident, officers did not notice any presence of alcohol on Bunnell.
"It was not an issue with the police, and I was not impaired," she said in a phone interview from Stevens Point.
"But I have learned a real lesson about immediately reporting an accident. I should have done that. I was wrong not to do it. I learned a lesson, paid my fine, and I hope others learn from my experience as well."
Bunnell paid a $172 fine after being cited for failing to leave her name at an accident scene. A witness who saw the accident had called police to report it.
Bunnell acknowledged purchasing the drinks after AP obtained Madison Club receipts showing she spent $54 that night on dinner and drinks. The UW-Stevens Point Foundation pays $118 a month for Bunnell to be a member of the private club, which is frequented by politicians and business executives.
Bunnell said she arrived there about 4:30 p.m. Feb. 17 after dropping off an aide at UW-Madison and was going through her e-mails in the bar, where she ordered a cocktail.
She said she did not have time to drink it before she relocated to the club's dining room. She said she drank a glass of wine with dinner and ordered a second but didn't have time to drink that, either, before leaving.
"I thought better about drinking it," she said.
Still, Bunnell's claims caught University of Wisconsin System officials off guard. Previously, they had been satisfied with Bunnell's explanation of the accident.
"This is new information," said spokesman David Giroux. "We'll have to look into it right away."

If you send an email to me, it will take a while before I can answer them, my computer has died and waiting on another one....sep. 2016
I am Rhonda and will be having Glaucoma surgery on my right eye on feb 1, 2016 ..for those whom need me to answer question's and help with stuff, it will be a while after that date till I am reading or on the computer...for nice people my email:
firstname.lastname@example.com....for mean folks I will print the email and send to my attorney
Now that Ancestry bought them out, I guess now it is a Genealogy site and not just that I found a grave site.
Thought that I would share this on top...For those of us that do ancestry research this a FREE search for Newspaper write ups elephind.com
I am Rhonda Bruce...many have transferred memorials to me without my asking for them, I am in the process of sending them back to you and sending some to those whom want them..it is unfortunate that too many people on this site are just plain rude, I do have some duplicates, however, FAG did not find the names that I searched for when placing them on this site, if there were photo's on them, then I would like to get in touch with that person and have them place it on the older memorial before I deleted my duplicated one, however, I was not give that opportunity to do so and FAG took a few thousand of my memorials just for spite I guess..I really do not know..on the edits' FAG says they will automatically edit in 21 days, so if I have surgery again soon, then that is taken care of. If anyone wants a memorial please send your request to me via the edit and suggestion key on that memorial and please give me your account number also, otherwise I will not be able to transfer and I really do not care how you are related either, my Hulsey line are going to Hulsey family that I have already chosen
good luck to all of you, hope you have better experiences' than I have here...I am keeping my mothers line and my father line and just a few that I have gone out myself and gathered.
My slave cemetery searching will not be put on here any longer, for those whom keep up with that. They will go to county courthouse I am in at that time and any other unknown grave I find, like in my own backyard.
to the one's on FAG that were not nice, that was SAndrea you were dealing with, not me. She just wanted me to put that on here.
I am Sandrea, for about 1 year now I have been working rhonda's account, she has health issue's
Please do not transfer any memorials to me when I make a correction, I do not need them and do not want them....
just so that folks know this, I her cousin is managing her account now, some have said that she was rude at times and snippet ** that was not her it was me
For some reason, that I do not know, I cannot place unknown for last names or first name missing, I even accepted edit request to change all of them to Unknown and it is STILL not working for me, I have no idea what to do about it either
below is from FAG notes:
Why are there multiple memorials for the same individual? How does Find A Grave handle duplicate memorials?
Because so many people add data to Find A Grave, there are often duplicate cemeteries and duplicate memorials added. This is a very common situation and is quite difficult to resolve in a way that keeps everyone happy. Before adding a memorial, search the cemetery to see if a record with that name has already been added. (THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK EITHER)If you are adding a memorial for someone who does not have a physical grave or memorial marker in a cemetery (perhaps their ashes were scattered), please do a general search on Find A Grave (do not enter a location) (THAT ALSO DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK EITHER)to see if a memorial has already been created for that person. If you find a memorial has been added but has incomplete or incorrect information, instead of creating a duplicate memorial use the tools provided to submit corrections, additions or a transfer request via the "Suggest A Correction" link under the 'Edit' tab on the upper right of the memorial. Never deliberately create a duplicate memorial. In regard to duplicates, a memorial with a correct known burial location will always be preferred over an unknown burial location. If a case of duplicate memorials falls to the Administration, the Administration will have the final word on which memorial is deleted and which data will be retained in the remaining memorial page. There are some situations where an individual (usually a 'famous' individual) may have more than one memorial page, because their body was buried in one location but a cenotaph or second marker/memorial was also placed in a second location. NOTE Jan 25, 2013: If there are two memorial pages for the same individual, and one has a Lost at Sea designation, and the other gives the location of a cenotaph or memorial marker, the memorial page with the Lost at Sea location may be merged into the memorial page with a physical cenotaph stone or memorial location.

Historical Traveler Reviews Rose Garden Inn Berkeley
Total disaster
I booked a room at this place for three nights at $107/night thru Orbitz. When I arrived, the Rose Garden had no record of my reservation -- even though I had a confirmation number. After a terrific ordeal, they finally gave me a room at the agreed upon rate. And they assured me that this problem would be investigated. On check out, I was shocked to find that not only had they not resolved the problem, but they put through on my Visa a room rate of 139/night plus tax. And -- the real shocker -- my Visa was charged a 'no show' for the first night as well. On check out they flatly refused to give me any bill or any documentation of any kind of this problem. They even refused to give me a receipt for the higher room rate charged to my credit card -- but they promised to send this all by fax later in the day. The predictable occurred -- no fax (they claim that the fax was down -- but now it is fixed -- still no bill). But the manager will call me (they promised) -- that was a few days ago -- the manager does not return calls -- and I have an ordeal to look forward to with Visa in disputing the higher charge. I would say that at a minimum they should treat their guests with some respect in a professional way -- but this view is not shared by their management.
The rooms are small and full of plastic flowers and other junk. There are a lot of stairs.
Delightful, Well Run
We were very pleased with our stay at the Rose Garden Inn. We arrived late (due to a flat tire) and the parking lot was full, but the staff took extra care to make sure that we parked safely and got settled in. The suite was charming, quiet, and comfortable. We even had our own private courtyard!
Breakfast wasn't gourmet, but good American fare-- very good and the fruit was all very fresh and delicious.
The Inn is fabulous if you're visiting a student at CAL. No getting in the car and trying to negotiate traffic-- you're just blocks from campus. I'm just sorry that our daughter is graduating soon and we won't be staying much in the future. We tried a number of hotels since she first arrived as a freshman, and I'm sorry this was the last one that we tried. If we'd gone here first we wouldn't have had to keep looking.
It was the staff that impressed us the most. At every turn they were friendly and helpful. Our last day there I got involved in a long battle with the car dealership who couldn't find a tire replacement-- and the Inn staff helped us by researching replacements on the internet and let us stay well past check out time while we arranged for the tire to be shipped.
Thank you Rose Garden Inn!
The Best place to stay in Berkeley
I recently spent the weekend at The Rose Garden Inn and found it again (we stay frequently) to be the best and most comforting place in the city. The room was very clean and a lot like home. The gardens the rooms surround are peaceful and well kept. All of the Rose Gardens staff were polite and very attentive. I reccommend this Inn to all I come in contact with. I will stay here again and reccommend anyone who ever has the chance to visit Berkeley to make their reservations at this Hotel.
Lovely, comforting
My parents spent a night there and loved it. I was really impressed by the buildings, it reminded me of Disney Land , or the set of the idylic little town in the BBC show "The Prisoner" with Patrick McGewen (sp?).
The staff gave me some coffee gratis and were very nice, .
We had an equally lovely dinner at Le Bateau Ivre restaurant just a block or two down the street.
Friendly and quirky--just like Berkeley!
The RGI has a great location on Telegraph Ave, a leisurely stroll past great bookstores, ethnic restaurants, and old hippies to the UC campus. The grounds are a riot of flowers and the buildings exude old-fashioned charm. That said, travelers who are expecting deluxe B&B amenities will not find terry robes, chocolates on the pillow or nasturtiums in their scrambled eggs here. Our $149 room was clean, huge (actually a 2 room suite), with marble tiles in the bathroom. The front desk (Trisha and Kevin) were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was filling. A good choice for those who dislike the sterility of chain hotels.
Okay for a stay - some nice touches
We stayed for a Saturday night in November. Good points: 1. fireplaces 2. privacy 3. lovely gardens 4. free cookies in the afternoon (3:30-5:30, I think) 5. free breakfast (incl. eggs & bacon - of Leftover Buffet caliber, but better than, say, a motel's "continental breakfast") 6. nice front desk staff 7. great water pressure 8. price (for the area) 9. availability (didn't require 2 night minimum; short notice OK) Bad points: 1. The room smelled a bit funny - I picked some rosemary in the gardent to overcome that 2. Shower and closet all squished in - but great for steaming clothes 3. Breakfast staff surly, quite 4. Decor too fru-fru for us (pretend flowers not necessary when you're surrounded by real ones!)
Nice place, lame management
Very pretty buildings, sweet garden, some nice rooms, convenient location, but management is out to lunch. We wanted to have our wedding in the garden, but innkeeper stalled for weeks on our contract. On the day we arrived, we were told our deluxe room was not available. We were put up (at no extra expense) at the very nice Claremont Hotel, but the story we were given was an insult to our intelligence, something about the room "not working." And on the day of our wedding, there were no chairs being set up, no sign at all that an event was about to take place. The groom and other family members had to set up chairs half an hour before our event. It was as if we were the invisible clients.
Breakfast buffet okay, but the selling point is the Fay House and the garden. I'd say stay here if you can get a good rate, but don't expect top B&B quality.
Nice B&B in Berkeley
Gramma's Rose Garden Inn was the name when I stayed there. enjoyed it enough to stay again a few years later. And now planning another trip back soon. Location is very good on telegraph ave within real walking distance of campus (20 minutes at least). The large room upstairs is very nice ( I forget the name) with two large bay windows with build in beds for those with smaller kids. Nice also that they have small parking area available.Rooms are nice, not perfect, but not bad.

It took some effort to get up there, but it was worth it (not to mention we used it as an excuse to eat as much as we wanted for the rest of the day).

Huge Etruscan Road Brought to Light
By Rossella Lorenzi, Discovery News
The Excavated Road
June 16, 2004 A plain in Tuscany destined to become a dump has turned out to be an archaeologist's dream, revealing the biggest Etruscan road ever found.
Digging in Capannori, near Lucca, archaeologist Michelangelo Zecchini has uncovered startling evidence of an Etruscan "highway" which presumably linked Etruscan Pisa, on the Tyrrhenian coast, to the Adriatic port of Spina.
Passing through Bologna, the ancient "two-sea highway" runs just a few meters away from today's modern highway which links Florence to the Tyrrhenian coast.
"It all started with the discovery of four big stones. I realized they could not lie in an alluvial plain by chance. As we dug a sample area, we found a large road still bearing the ruts left by chariots 2,500 years ago," Zecchini told Discovery News.
Dating to the end of the 6th century B.C., the seven-meter-wide (23-foot) road supported intense chariot traffic towards Spina, an Etruscan-controlled trading emporium where Etruscan and Greeks lived and worked together, and through which were imported great quantities of Greek goods.
"A great amount of information, including tombs, monuments and villages, lie hidden along this road," Zecchini said.
The ancient highway was also mentioned by Greek geographer Skylax, who in the 4th century B.C. wrote that a great road linked Pisa with Spina by a three-day journey.
Zecchini and his team have so far brought to light a 200-meter-long (656-foot) section. The discovery took place in an area that, from the 6th century A.D. until 1850, contained a large and rather deep lake.
The lake gave birth to the legend of Sextum, a rich and powerful city that disappeared under a terrible flood.
Sixteenth-century texts found in Lucca's archives recount fishermen who could see the remains of a submerged city on the bottom of the lake. They even used the city's streets and square as reference points for their fishing.
"Our archeological survey has shown that the remains do not belong to the legendary Sextum, but to innumerable ancient Roman farms. Indeed the area has been dubbed 'the plain of the 100 farms.' But nobody would have ever imagined that this plain could hide such an imposing road," Zecchini said.
The archaeologist hopes to uncover at least 15 kilometers (nine miles) of the ancient road.
"This is a fantastically important discovery for many reasons. It confirms the importance of the Etruscan roads which linked the great cities of Etruria, which have not been found so far because they lay beneath the later Roman roads. This section of the road was long covered over by a lake, a fact which accounts for its excellent condition, which will allow archaeologists to study details of its construction," Larissa Bonfante, professor of classics at New York University and an authority on the Etruscan civilization, told Discovery News.
Bonfante added that the road's early date the archaic period of 500 B.C. means that it was made and used during the period of the Etruscans' greatest power and influence, when they had extended their influence south to Rome.
"They had craftsmen who specialized in making various types of chariots, including the sturdy vehicles with standard widths which left the ruts on this road," Bonfante said.
Good! Wake me when you find a Latin-Etruscan dictionary ;)
What happened to the lake?
Kind of reminds me of a road in the Bronx.
Pisa to Trieste maybe. The place must have already been jumping, tradewise, when Rome was founded.
Behold, two hitchhikers.
I'm thinking that perhaps traveling by chariot, while better than walking, wasn't a particularly pleasant way to travel long distances.
I htink of armies in chariots, not regular commercial traffic. Riding horseback would be preferable, IMO.
Now I need to look up chariot pictures....
As an elderly skateboarder [17] shot by me last night on campus and his board went the other way, I reflected on chariot riding. I would bet that a charioteer over 21 was a rarity. Most were probably 13-16 and immune to joint ailments.
I don't see any shocks on this thing.
I believe I'd prefer a chaise with netting and pillows conveyed by some lackeys with a very smooth gait.
Women drivers... bouncing up, it seems. The horses' back legs look so close to the wheels.
Goodness! Lots of fascinating archeological news tonite!
Yup. Messy party dresses, lol.
Yes, Mary Ludwig, it is a good day for archaeological news...two days worth actually.
I'll bet you're right. There must've been considerable noise, too.
The inscription says, "Do you want fries with that?...Drive ahead, please."
...also reminds me of the toll booth in "Blazing Saddles"....
Cobblestone roads, iron horseshoes, and iron rims on the chariot wheels = considerable noise and flying debris. They wouldn't be going much faster than a trot on long trips, that wouldn't be so bad, but around town chariots were a terror. The stories from Pompeii tell of pedestrians leaping for their lives to get out of the way of the young men in their galloping chariots.
:-) Mary Ludwig finds it all fascinating, too!
Thank you, blam...
I'm with you, Val... Where did the lake go?
I've tried Googling "6th"+"1850"+" lake"+"Italy" and got nothing to help.
Many private chariots had a rudamentary suspension that isolated the passenger area from the suspension via leather straps. Others used leather mesh in place of a hard floor to cushion a standing rider. Some combined both.
IIRC, fixed suspension chariots were pretty much only used in warfare or racing (where unpredictable bouncing could be dangerous). The ride in a leather-shocked chariot wouldn't have been perfectly smooth, but it wouldn't have jarred any teeth loose either.

Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers sustained a concussion during the Packers week 5 matchup agains the Washington Redskins and will miss their next game. This is another big loss for the Packers, but this is also the life of the NFL.
Injuries make the NFL unpredictable. Every year a team comes out of nowhere to make the playoffs. On the other side, every year a "juggernaut" slips and misses the playoffs. This is often due to a key player going down injured. No one could predict who that will be every season, and nobody wants to.
The list of key players going down and ruining their teams chances is a long one. The 1999 New York Jets were said to be Super Bowl favorites, those hopes were ruined when QB Vinny Testerverde tore his ACL during week 1. The Patriots, Super Bowl contenders every year this decade, had their 2008 season ruined by a Tom Brady torn ACL suffered during week 1. The Steelers were undone by Troy Polamalu being in and out of the lineup last season.
Injuries are a week in week out thing in the NFL. No team comes through an entire season with everyone intact. The key for teams is how they overcome those injuries, do they simply patch the whole for a few weeks, or do they need a backup to step up big for the duration of the season?
Here are five injuries that could cost their teams games during week 6.
