2012 PGA Show
Technology, technology, and technology were arguably the three most popular topics at this year's PGA Show and Outdoor Demo. And, fortunately for today's golfer, Oakley has always been obsessing with making things better.
On the Map: Oakley Golfer Keegan Bradley Claims PGA Rookie of the Year Honor, Finishes Second in POY Voting
He's certainly not the most hyped player in the PGA. But one thing's for sure: Keegan Bradley is now a star. The Oakley golfer closed out what has been a truly amazing year by sealing in the PGA Tour's Rookie of the Year honors. Even better, he finished a strong second to Luke Donald in PGA Player of the Year voting.
Oakley Signs Ryann O'Toole
Meet one of the newest additions to Oakley's Global Women's Team: Ryann O'Toole, who starred for the U.S. team in the 2011 Solheim Cup as an LPGA rookie. Ryann will rely on Oakley's ability to bridge the gap between form and function enabling her to fulfill her potential on and off of the golf course, while simultaneously expressing her own distinctive style.

File this one under unconfirmed...
According to Gawker, YouTube celeb Sweet Brown ("Ain't nobody got time for that") has been cast in Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas, which is due out this X-mas holiday.
Apparently, she's in demand, thanks to that early 2012 YouTube news report that featured her, which went viral. It's been played over 40 million times on YouTube alone, including an auto-tune mix. Clearly, folks have been having a lot of fun with the clip. Just search YouTube and you'll find a few different mixes of "Ain't nobody got time for that," entertaining millions and millions of viewers worldwide.
So I suppose that, like other previous unintentional YouTube celebs, it's no surprise that Sweet Brown has attracted other celebs who want likely want to exploit her newfound fame. She's practically a star now!
Remember Antoine Dodson from 2 years ago or so - Mr "Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband..."
When Beyoncé is quoting you in public, on national TV (she quoted Sweet Brown in a post-Super Bowl interview w/ Extra about the power outage), you know you've made I guess. She's now doing commercials, co-hosting TV shows, is being booked for private parties, corporate retreats, and church events. And she's also apparently done a video with will.i.am.
I can only wonder who's representing her, if she has an agent, who's looking out for her best interests, etc, to ensure that she's being paid her fair share of all the money that's likely rolling in, and that she isn't just being taken advantage of.
For example, I found a Facebook page for her, with about 75,000 *likes* (which is a lot), that's selling tee-shirts, sweat-shirts, mugs, cups, etc, with pieces of her now famous quote on them. There's a lot of activity on the page, and I'm sure thousands of pieces of merchandise have been sold. But, the problem is, when you click to read the "About" section of the Facebook page, it says the following: This is not the official Sweet Brown.
So, someone launched that Facebook page soon after she became a web sensation, and is probably making a ton of money - with none of it going to her. I guess the quote isn't trademarked, so there's probably nothing she or her people can do about it. I'm assuming they know. Unless they are receiving a cut of profits or have some other arrangement.
But back to Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas... as I said, even though Gawker is a reputable site, they don't list a source for that casting news. I did some digging to see if I'd find anything else on it, but no other site has mentioned this. So, file it under unconfirmed.
One thing I will say is that Tyler Perry did post the original video that went viral, on his Facebook page last year, saying that it had him in stiches from laughing so hard. So he's certainly been aware of her; meaning, he could very well have cast her, likely in a cameo type of role.
But we'll see eventually...
A Madea Christmas, which Perry is of course writing, directing and starring in, also stars Tika Sumpter, Chad Michael Murray, Larry the Cable Guy, Kathy Najimy and Eric Lively .
Here's the official synop from Lionsgate:
Madea gets coaxed into helping a friend pay her daughter a surprise visit in the country for Christmas, but the biggest surprise is what they'll find when they arrive. As the small, rural town prepares for its annual Christmas Carnival, new secrets are revealed and old relationships are tested while Madea dishes her own brand of Christmas Spirit to all.
Lionsgate will release it on December 13, so it should start shooting in the next 1 to 3 months.
And if you're not familiar with the original Sweet Brown video that made her a star, watch it below:
Monique A. Williams | February 19, 2013 5:30 PM
I do believe I read that she is Rickey Smiley's aunt, so hopefully he put her in the right hands. She is darling!
DRDR | February 17, 2013 4:35 PM
Racism is a motherfucker.
Tyler Perry is a bitch.
The media are assholes.
Enough with the "ghetto nigga soundbite(s)".
Zumani Monet | February 16, 2013 8:24 PM
Kudos for her that she is making money and she has her own catch phrase that will go down in pop culture history. But...is it just me that doesn't understand why she has created such fan base and fame. I don't find any thing funny about her video at all. In fact, I sort of cringe and feel uncomfortable at the site of her. I get the same feeling when I see or hear Stepping Fletcher.
ALM | February 15, 2013 10:43 PM
Okay......I agree with Tambay. Someone should be looking out for her to make sure that she is paid properly and saves her money.
dee | February 15, 2013 1:07 PM
Just looked at this on youtube along with the auto-tune version. Too funny!!!Did not know anything about Mrs. Sweet Brown...
dirtychai | February 15, 2013 11:35 AM
A friend of mine was working on set for that film. He tweeted pics of himself posing with both Sweet Brown and Antoine Dodson. Jesus take the wheel.
I do wish them both good fortune.

8 Things Meme (Tyler)
I've been tagged for the 8 Things meme by my Teacozy "real life" buddy. The rules are as follows:
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1. I've been working on a book for about 2 years now. Since I am anal retentive, the plotline is written out and yet I am only on the second chapter of the book.
2. I'm a guitarist who is unable to tune the note B. I have a gap in my hearing pattern that makes me tonedeaf to the frequency which is known as B, and the higher the frequency of B the worse my tuning ear gets.
3. I have a bad habit of leaving closet doors, silverware drawers and kitchen cabinet doors open. I claim it is to test whether we have ghostly spirits in the house (if the doors slam shut by themselves, that's a hint)… it's a total lie. I'm just lazy and forgetful. What's strange is that:
4. Oddly enough, I am fanatical about making sure the doors and windows are locked and closed when I go to bed.
5. I almost became a received a degree in Organismal Biology and Evolutionary Science. I decided to go with an Science and Education degree instead. If you ask me now, I wish I went with OB instead.
6. I still love going to zoos.
7. I have one major goal in life… I need to visit Australia at some point in this lifetime (see the connection in the last 3 things).
8. My dream job would be a golfer. I don't need fame and fortune, just enough to play golf and raise a family. There is not enough time in the day for me and golf.
The people I tag are, and I apologize if any have already done so:
Amy and Mary of Pimp My Library
Crazy Roommate
And since the rest of my buddies have all already been tagged… I'll leave the list as is.
Five Blog Meme
Nancy Dowd tagged me for the five-non-library-blogs-that-I-read-meme.
I'm going to skip a few favorites since they've gotten a lot of mentions already. (If you're not already reading Creating Passionate Users, do yourself a favor and start.) So here are the non-library blogs that I read that I haven't seen mentioned too often:
- Work Matters, by Bob Sutton. I came for the Weird Ideas That Work, I stayed for the No Asshole Rule. You may have heard of Bob Sutton recently as the author of the #14 Amazon ranked book,"The No Asshole Rule". It's unbeleviable to me that the New York Times won't print the title of this book. (I mean, hey, they had no trouble printing the word scrotum again, and again, and again…)
- Horse Pig Cow: A marketing blog from Tara Hunt. Oink. Moo. Yup.
- Presentation Zen: Garr Reynolds on presentation design. I'll take all the help I can get :-) Check out Ira Glass' Tips on Storytelling. Good stuff!
- How To Change the World by Guy Kawasaki. I love the ideas, the interviews, and Guy's playful, generous spirit that shines through all his posts.
- Service Untitled by… hmmmm, I have no idea who writes it. No matter! I love this blog for it's very practical writing on customer service, like this article on what to do when a customer is cursing at you. (Funny, they forgot to mention the never-fail strategy, "I'm the rubber you're the glue…"
There are my five. And I tag: Joyce Valenza, Jennifer Macaulay, Iris Jastram, Sophie Brookover.

Pac-12 superlatives
247Sports brings you some of the standout classes out of the Pac-12 with our Pac-12 Signing Day superlatives:
Tahaan Goodman was part of UCLA's fantastic stretch run.
Best class at filling needs: UCLA
UCLA needed two things desperately in the class of 2013: defensive backs and offensive linemen. Those two areas couldn't have been addressed in much better fashion than what the Bruins brought in. Among the defensive backs, UCLA has added Top100 prospects Tahaan Goodman and Priest Willis as well as four-stars Tyler Foreman and John Johnson.
On the offensive line, UCLA brought in no less than seven big bodies to provide that instant depth that the Bruins are looking for. Among those, we think Alex Redmond has a chance to be an early contributor and a multi-year starter for the Bruins.
Biggest surprise class: Washington
2013 could be remembered as the year Washington became a major program to reckon with on the recruiting trail. Washington being able to recruit at a high level is nothing new but to be contending for tops in the Pac-12 and among the top ten in the nation is noteworthy.
With this 2013 class, Steve Sarkisian has let it be known that the state of California will be split three ways, with UCLA, USC and now the Huskies divvying up the top prospects. Quarterback Troy Williams, wide receivers Darrell Daniels and Demorea Stringfellow, defensive tackle Elijah Qualls and cornerback Jermaine Kelly are all four-stars from California that were highly sought-after prospects nationwide. But they're heading to Seattle and you can expect that to be the norm under this staff moving forward.
Best recruiting battle won: Nico Falah to USC
There were numerous Pac-12 signees that were more highly touted and highly ranked than Falah but his decision to stick with USC on national signing day was big in that it stopped the bleeding from what had become a disastrous couple of days for the Trojans.
Ultimately the four-star offensive lineman chose USC despite strong UCLA family ties and a furious Washington push late in the game. In a small class with plenty of star power, the 6-5, 270-pounder is the only offensive tackle that inked with coach Lane Kiffin.
Best down the stretch: UCLA
The Bruins look posed to stake their claim among the best recruiting programs in the country in 2014, particularly if their late close for 2013 is any indication. How's this for a finish? Six of UCLA's top seven signees committed to head coach Jim Mora since Jan. 20. In just three weeks, UCLA was able to land almost all of its most highly sought after prospects.
Those names include Top100 defensive backs Priest Willis (yet to sign) and Tahaan Goodman, Top247 DL and former USC commit Kylie Fitts, Top100 linebacker Isaac Savaiinaea and the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the country in Asianti Woulard.
Most significant flip: Torrodney Prevot, from USC to Oregon
There was no secret that Prevot, a four-star defensive end out of Texas, was shaky in his commitment to USC heading towards national signing day but most saw the biggest threat to steal him away as Texas A&M. Instead it was the Pac-12 rival Oregon Ducks that were able to lure Prevot to Eugene.
Prevot stung a USC program that was reeling from class defections late in the process but he also gave a good boost to an Oregon class that had a quietly strong close under new head coach Mark Helfrich.
Biggest obstacle overcome: Oregon
Plenty of programs around the country dealt with coaching changes but Oregon had some unique obstacles to overcome in the coaching change that it was faced with. In Chip Kelly, Oregon had developed an offensive brand almost as recognizable as the Nike jerseys the program dons. With Kelly's departure, the program was faced with reassuring recruits that the brand would stay strong and the program was in good hands and the timing couldn't have been worse.
Kelly departed just three weeks before national signing day and most classes would have gone into a tail spin. But unlike the approach that most programs take, Oregon just pulled the next man up in Mark Helfrich and once again kept one of the most stable coaching staffs largely in place. What resulted was a strong finish and a top 20 recruiting class.
Top impact recruit: Su'a Cravens, USC
USC's defense was nothing to be proud of in 2012 and there will be plenty of opportunity for freshmen to step in and make their mark early on within that defense in 2013. Perhaps none is more equipped to make that mark than Cravens. The top safety in the country, Cravens is already on campus at USC and is the kind of instinctual, playmaking defender that will waste no time getting into the rotation.
Top impact sleeper: Takkarist McKinley, Cal
McKinley has all the makings of a super sleeper. At 6-4, 230 pounds, the defensive end runs the 100 meters in under 10.6 seconds. He's also only been playing football for two years and he's already becoming a force. In the Cal-State All-Star game McKinley made a strong statement as to the kind of player that he is and assuming he gets qualified, we expect you'll hear his name a lot on the next level.
Biggest disappointment (Team): USC
Most schools that finish at No. 14 in the 247Composite team rankings would have nothing to be disappointed about but USC holds itself to a higher standard and when you compare Kiffin's final list of signees to the group he had committed over the summer, it's startling to think about what could have been.
Among the players that were once committed to USC only to end up elsewhere are 247Composite five-star Jalen Ramsey, five-star Eddie Vanderdoes, Top100 safety Max Redfield, Top247 defensive lineman Kylie Fitts, 247composite four-star Jason Hatcher and four-star defender Torrodney Prevot.
Class that could surprise: Stanford
In 2013, Stanford was all about quality over quantity and with only 12 signees, the group is easy to overlook. But when you examine the group player-by-player, it is an impressive list. Ryan Burns is an elite national quarterback and there are several more typical Stanford big bodies on the line of scrimmage like TE Eric Cotton, and defenders Austin Hooper and Mike Tyler. Despite the low ranking, Stanford's haul should keep them near the top of the Pac-12 on the field.

Virginia's Cavaliers were looking like one of the ACC's best.
Not much good has been said, meanwhile, about Wake Forest's Demon Deacons.
None of the run-up seemed to matter Wednesday night after the Cavaliers left Wake's Joel Arena smarting from an unexpected 55-52 defeat.
Virginia, which opened its ACC schedule by knocking off North Carolina on Sunday, will next play against Clemson at Littlejohn Coliseum at noon on Saturday. The Tigers are coming off a 68-40 thumping at the hands of No. 1 Duke.
C.J. Harris scored 16 points and Travis McKie added 14 points for the Demon Deacons (8-6, 1-1 ACC), who led by 14 points midway through the second half before holding off a rally by the Cavaliers in the final six minutes. Wake Forest won despite shooting just 26 percent after halftime and going the final 10 minutes without a field goal.
Instead, the Demon Deacons clung to their lead by knocking down just enough free throws to stay ahead, the last coming when Harris hit two with 5.3 seconds left for what turned out to be the final margin.
The Cavaliers (11-4, 1-1) had one more chance, but Jontel Evans threw the ball away on the wing and Joe Harris couldn't collect the ball in time for a desperation 3-point heave before the horn sounded.
Freshman Mike Tobey scored 14 points to lead Virginia. Harris added 13 points, including a contested 3-pointer over Harris from right in front of the Virginia bench that made it 53-52 with 6.3 seconds left. He also knocked down a 3 with 16.5 seconds left that finally made it a one-possession game and set the stage for a wild finish.
Virginia shot just 36 percent and committed 17 turnovers, its second highest total of the season. Those miscues led to 15 points for the Demon Deacons, who shot 52 percent in the first half before the Cavaliers' stingy defense finally showed up.
Wake Forest's last field goal was a perfectly executed give-and-go layup by Codi Miller McIntyre off a feed from fellow freshman Devin Thomas, giving the Demon Deacons a 46-32 lead with 10:22 left.
Wake Forest made just 5 of 19 shots after halftime but hung on by making 15 of 18 free throws (83 percent) in the second half.
Virginia was coming off a 61-52 home win against North Carolina on Sunday night. Beating the Demon Deacons would've made the Cavaliers 2-0 in the league for the first time since starting 3-0 in Tony Bennett's first season in 2009-10. Before that, the Cavaliers hadn't won their first two ACC games since the 1994-95 season.

It's a meal making machine on wheels! That's how some are describing a new canteen the Salvation Army unveiled in Bell County.
The truck has a full kitchen on board, so disaster relief services can be provided anywhere with just a moment's notice.
Officials say our area has seen its share of natural disasters this year from flooding to storms, and they're glad to have such a resource in our backyard.
"This canteen is priceless. This allows us to get the resources out to meet immediate needs," said Albey Brock, Bell County Judge-Executive.
The truck will stay parked in Bell County, but it will be sent to neighboring counties in Kentucky and Tennessee in times of need.

I've just discovered your blog and I really enjoy your shopping guides. But if you don't mind a suggestion, please encourage your readers to rescue dogs and cats from their local shelters (there are purebreds available on petfinder.com, and numerous greyhounds in need of adoption if an Italian breed is wanted!). While not endangered species, these animals are definitely in need of protection and a good home too.
Also, parents might want to wait until after Christmas or Hanukkah to take home a new pet. Bringing a dog or cat to an unfamiliar place, into an excited holiday atmosphere, won't be an easy adjustment for them, or their new family. Perhaps a card to open on the holiday, with the animal's photo inside, is the best kind of anticipation.
Thank you so much, A Shelter Volunteer

Albany - Dougherty County leaders take the advice of animal activists and make some changes to the newly proposed leash law.
Wednesday, county commissioners agreed to include cats in all rules regarding the mistreatment of animals and to remove a section of the law that allows people to impound pets found in their yard. Animal activists say capturing and housing nuisance pets should be left to professionals.
"I think commissioners were fair in their deliberation. They accepted some of our considerations, especially about the cats. I think the cat committee will be happy, and if something becomes a problem we'll look at it later," said animal activist Laurie Jenkins.
County commissioners will vote on the revised animal control ordinance on Monday. If passed, pet owners will be fined for not having their dog on leashes in public places and for not providing proper food, water, and shelter for their pets.

Sante Fe Chicken Wings
We've posted a variety of chicken wing recipes recently, using the delightful recipes from Wings Across America by Armand Vandersitgchel. Our earlier recipes were baked, avoiding the method of deep frying.
On Super Bowl Sunday, we did take the plunge. We made classic deep fried wings. If confession is good for the soul, then here it is: deep fried is better than baked. There, we said it. Really better.
Home deep frying has been a chore: messy and awkward and potentially dangerous. There is a new generation of home deep fryers out there that make life easier and we used one. Our deep fryer worked well and the wings were delicious. That said, there is a price for deep frying. Even with a kitchen vent going full blast, we still ended up with smell that drifted through our house and lasted into the next day. The solution here is pretty clear. You barbeque outside, on the patio or porch. And you should deep fry there, too.
These wings are made classically: you deep fry the wings then plunge them into a red sauce that would make any Aztec or Mayan proud. We used Frank's Original REDHOT sauce, as requested in the recipe. Frank's sauces are widely available, and they are terrific products. This is a case where store-bought is just simply and probably better than home made. Our market has three Frank's flavors but we were careful to use the original, basic, fire-instigating sauce.
Wings do not get better.
Santa Fe Chicken Wings
Yield: 25 Wings
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 ½ pounds (around 25 wings) trimmed and separated
- ¼ cup (½ stick) hot, melted unsalted butter
- ¼ cup Frank's Original REDHOT sauce
- ¼ cup chile sauce
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
Heat the oil in a fryer to 400°F. Deep fry the wings for 12 minutes or until crispy and no longer pink. Drain well.
Combine the melted butter, hot sauce, chile sauce, and chile powder in a small bowl. Mix well.
Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
We love our wings drenched. So, for 25 wings we doubled the sauce. Every square inch of our wings was covered. There was plenty of heat in every bite. And, these thoroughly coated wings were delightful to eat as leftovers the next day.

Cilantro Onion Chicken Wings
If I say "Chicken Wings" what comes to mind? Oh, Buffalo Chicken Wings. Deep red in color, fiery hot, and addicting. We have a favorite restaurant nearby in New York City, a place called Walkers with a classic tin ceiling, wonderful staff, and the best wings in New York. At the table next to us last week, a man ate an entire serving for two by himself with just a glass of water. And then he ordered a second plate. Brian and I left before they had to call 911. No man can endure such heat.
Next weekend is the greatest single party weekend of the year. It's Super Bowl and around the country, around the world, people will gather to watch and to eat. Brian and I are having our traditional party and we are having wings. And, yes, there will be some wings with heat. But there is life beyond Buffalo.
And that's a statement from someone who went to college in Buffalo and has oh-so-fond memories of winters there.
No, there many alternatives to "hot" wings. For a party, it's a clever idea to have a wing smorgasbord, a variety of wings. Some hot for people like that guy in Walkers with the asbestos digestive system and some with other flavors that are truly enjoyable.
There is a little book, Wings Across America, by Armand Vandersitgchel — a distinctive name to be sure — that came out in 1999 in hardcover and then in 2003 in paperback. You can still find it at Amazon and tucked away in back shelves at book store. The book has 150 ideas for how to do wings, some classically hot and some very different:
- Ole Mole Wings with chocolate — for those with other addictions besides heat
- Ancho Fire Wings — for those who think Buffalo wings are for wimps
- Barrel Wings — named for using Jack Daniels whiskey which spends time in oak barrels
- Southwestern Peanut Wing — made with peanut butter, coconut milk, and chipotle
Brian is thumbing through the book, pointing, and I'm testing. As lovers of cilantro, this recipe for Onion Cilantro Wings struck both of us as interesting. We had no idea how it would turn out, and we ended up very pleased.
Here's the essential idea: put cilantro and onion in a blender and create a thick, very, very green sauce. The sauce goes in a bowl, the wings go into the sauce to marinate for hours in the fridge, and then you cook. There's just a little heat in this recipe. The wings are baked, not deep fried, which is a plus. Baking is healthier and much less mess.
And the taste? It's wonderful. That cilantro flavor has time to penetrate way beyond the skin. It's not overpowering, but the meat has a distinctive cilantro tinge. It's a whole new way to wing it.
If you are partying soon and want to have a bevy of different wings, then this version is truly one to consider.
Cilantro Onion Wings
Yield: 20 wings
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 20 trimmed and separated wings
In a food processor or blender, combine the onion, red onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, lime and lemon juices, and sugar. Blend until pureed. Transfer with a rubber spatula to a large mixing bowl.
Add the wings, coating them thoroughly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°. With tongs, spread the wings evenly over a buttered 2-inch deep baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until brown and cooked through. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Shaone Morrisonn, who went to arbitration yesterday, signed a one-year, $1.975 million deal with the Caps today. Morrisonn, 25, had a goal and 10 points last season. He was Mike Green's defense partner for much of Bruce Boudreau's tenure, and was credited for helping allow Green to blossom as an offensive force. He as a -10 with Glen Hanlon and a +14 with Boudreau.
He made $900,000 last season. He was a tricky case because a lot of his value is not wrapped up in black-and-white statistics. He will make more than Kurt Sauer ($1.75 million) but significantly less than free agents Brooks Orpik and Jeff Finger. He and Orpik are probably closer than a lot of people think, though Orpik does have a little more snarl to his game.
I'd try to devote more time to this, but I am out at Redskin Park. If you were not among the announced crowd of 28,000 people here today, consider yourself lucky after all of the traffic headaches.

A new year, new horrors to discover. What are we most excited about?
The remake of William Lustig's 1980 grindhouse classic Maniac takes a new spin with director Franck Khalfoun in the driver's seat. Elijah Wood stars as Frank, the titular maniac, who scalps women to work out his mommy issues. What sets the new Maniac apart from the old is that this one is all told from Frank's point of view, which takes the gruesome film to a whole new level of unnerving fright. Maniac made the festival rounds during 2012, and I was lucky enough to see it. What I am looking forward to is the reaction of other horror fans when they get a chance to see this uncomfortable little flick.
Evil Dead
I am intrigued to see what could bring original Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell back to the franchise (as a producer.) Although wasn't Evil Dead II essentially a remake of Evil Dead?
Pacific Rim
There has been a lot of hype for Guillermo del Toro's giant monsters vs. giant robots film, and in anyone else's hands, I would chalk it up to generic blockbuster shlock. But del Toro is a mad genius, so I will trust anything he creates.
I have far less faith in this remake than the other remakes on this list, but I am curious as to what director Kimberly Pierce will do with Carrie. Chloe Moretz always plays strong (and strongheaded) characters - I am not sure if she can play the timid pre-prom Carrie.
The Following
This is one of the top-rated new TV series of the season. Fox has a dodgy history with dramas (they have far more failures than successes - and even the successes haven't been good television) but it is a fascinating concept (a serial killer is using technology to create a brainwashed cult of copycat killers that he can control from prison) created by Kevin Williamson, and starring Kevin Bacon.
Bates Motel
There have been a lot of Psycho sequels (and a prequel or two, I believe) but this one has a strong cast (led by Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore) and A&E seems to be putting its full support behind the project. I'm concerned about the fact that Bates Motel is set in the modern day, but I think if they essentially "ignore" Hitchcock's Psycho, it will hold up just fine.
Bryan Fuller's other NBC genre project, Mockingbird Lane, was DOA. I am excited to see what master of small screen quirkiness has come up with for such a famous franchise as Hannibal, but I don't want to get screwed over again. NBC has yet to announce a premiere date for Hannibal, which doesn't give me much hope.
A New Album from Nine Inch Nails
So I heard a rumor Trent Reznor might be releasing a new album this year under the Nine Inch Nails moniker. Reznor certainly hasn't put aside music when he put aside the band name, but what is more exciting is that he is considering touring again. Count me in!
Castlevania - Mirror of Fate
I played a very, very early build of this entry in the Castlevania series at Comic-Con. Designed for the Nintendo 3DS, it looked cool and the 3D was quite nice. I want to see what the full game has in store.
Fantastic Fest
I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this hardcore genre film fest/social event in Austin. I am hoping this year I get to go. Horror movies, booze, food, more horror movies, and people who love horror movies for a whole week. Sounds like a little slice of heaven.

Reconstruction Nearly Complete
The building of the 2010 World Championship Mets has begun with the signings of Alex Cora and Chris Coste.
Not only that, but the Mets are on the verge of re-signing reliever Elmer Dessens and inking Henry Blanco to a contract.
What's that rapid clicking noise? Ah yes — the rush of 2009 season-ticket holders zipping to Mets.com to re-up their plan for 2010. With pieces like this in place, a postseason appearance is pretty much guaranteed.
The only thing that could complete this outstanding makeover would be the hiring of Joe Morgan, Joe Buck, and Steve Phillips to handle the TV broadcasts.
This is a lot to process in one post, and I'm so excited I can barely contain myself. But I'll try to be professional, compose myself, and provide my take without letting the giddy emotions cloud my rhetoric. We'll go through them one by one.
Alex Cora
I cannot begin to explain how important it is to have a someone as incredibly impactful as Cora in the clubhouse. He is one of the best dominoes players on the team, knows ALL the signs given by the third-base coach, and almost always picks up the dinner tab. In addition, he is a REALLY NICE GUY. You statheads with your ridiculous OBP, OPS, and UZR numbers just don't get it. This guy can make everyone else play better simply by vocalizing his kind-hearted thoughts, inspirational speeches, and zen-like koans — all in a warming, caressing tone of voice that would make Jimmy Stewart weep.
Who cares that Cora is fragile, aging, and fading in the field? Why does it matter that his offense is below mediocre? What's the big deal that there are younger, more athletic, and more rounded utilitymen available for one-third the price? This guy MIGHT BE A MANAGER someday!!!! You can't let people like that get away, and the Mets were absolutely genius in getting him re-signed early in the free agent period, before other teams realized he was available and an all-out bidding war erupted. I mean, really — how many backup infielders are available this winter? And thankfully, the contract includes a club option for 2011, so no worries about keeping him under wraps as he continues the dénouement of his career — he can step right in as the Mets' skipper upon the conclusion of Jerry Manuel's contract.
Chris Coste
Forget Nails: The Inside Story of an Amazin' Season, Bats, and Shea Good Bye: The Untold Inside Story of the Historic 2008 Season — The 33-Year-Old Rookie: My 13-Year Journey from the Minor Leagues to the World Series is the most inspirational book written by a backup catcher who came from the indy leagues in the history of MLB. The only other catcher I can think of with that kind of writing talent is yours truly, and as you know the Mets couldn't possibly come up with a deal that would overwhelm my current gig as MetsToday's lead blogger. So Coste is the ideal next-best choice.
And again, I can already hear you Beaneheads whining that Coste's 2006 .328 AVG was bloated by a .363 BABIP, and that his career .744 OPS makes Jerry Grote seem like an offensive juggernaut. But you guys don't understand the value of having a bestselling author on the roster — and one that has a GUARANTEED spot on the 40-man roster at that. You can blab all you want about Gregg Zaun but he NEVER wrote a book! So there!
Elmer Dessens
OK, if you don't understand Dessens' value as a mopup reliever then you obviously weren't watching the Mets' 2009 season. Guys like Dessens don't grow on Mexican trees.
Henry Blanco
Blanco is a tremendous defensive talent who can singlehandedly catch a baseball. I'm serious — I've seen him do it. OK, his offense makes Jose Molina look like a batting champion and he's 38 years old but he's VENEZUELAN. And last I checked, Johan Santana is also VENEZUELAN. If you don't see the value of that, then I don't know what to tell you.
So, with those four players under contract, it's only a matter of filling in the final pieces of the puzzle. We can all rest easy knowing that Cora, Coste, Dessens, and Blanco will be Mets in 2010.

Wow, this article has me shaking in anticipation for the start of spring training! With these signings, what are the chances the rest of the NL East just concedes the division to the Mets before the season starts?
Meantime, Ruben Gotay has been inked to a minor league deal by the Cardinals. I may be willing to bet my unpurchased winning lottery ticket that Gotay has a better season than Cora. Anyone want in on that action?
I think Omar and Jerry will see that lottery ticket and raise you one.
Can someone help me out here? I dreamt the other night that the Mets had -heheh- finished 70-92 in 2009 and had played most of that season with a bunch of broken old guys and – this is the good bit – paid them like up to 2 mill for that heheh…Sure glad that won't be happening aga…
OH, THE PAIN!!dude and dza u are preaching to the choir.great post joe.maybe u can supply us with the number of a good therapist in your next posting.2 MILL FOR A BROKEN DOWN ALEX CORA.maybe livan gets another go round too!!looks like omar got some advice from donnie walsh in the offseason.Maybe we'll sign LEBRON JAMES!!!OH, THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post of the off-season. One more option for Cora that was left out. Cora can be the next Torre and be player-manager for the Mets. He can learn from all his mistakes and eventually go on to manage the Yankees to some more World Series.
I hear Jose Lima is available……
yeah, and if we sign lima, he can be the pitching coach too..that way we can free up the money we save by firing warthen and we can re sign tim redding!!
I hope this is a joke. None of those guys will have any impact on the mets besides Cora. The mets need a people that can hit and a pitcher. I know the big names won't come till the winter meetings, but the Mets need to save money until then. For a catcher the mets need Barajas, Torrealba, or Molina. For a pitcher they should pick up both Marquis and Pineiro. For outfield they should pick up Chone Figgins even though he regularly plays third. This team needs a change.
no offense zack, but all the position players u mentioned are too old and will want 2-3 years at big money.marquis and piniero will want 3 year deals at 10 mill per year..they are both back of the rotation starters..to me, that's a waste of money..hopefully, the core will be healthy next year and we can sign a few arms on one year deals and a leftfielder and be competitive.too me, 10 mill a year for multiple years for figgins and marquis and piniero is just a waste of money.Knowing the Wilnots, that's probably the plan.Of course i haven't factored in how alex cora makes "everybody better" by his mere presence..

Special to the Review
The Athens Review
American Revolutionary War soldiers won the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, North Carolina in 1781 and the battle was a turning point for Americans in the south.
The Battle of Guilford Courthouse also turned out to be a winner for Athens Intermediate School fifth-grader Ryan Weinstein.
Weinstein entered her poster of the battle in the annual National Society Sons of the American Revolution Americanism Elementary Poster Contest, and took first place locally, first place at the state level, and third place nationally.
Weinstein is one of only two Athens students to finish as high as third nationally — joining Keaton Wieser, a fourth-grader at Athens Christian Academy, who placed third in the national competition in 2007.
On Friday morning, December 7, local SAR official Sam Whitten visited the school's assembly to honor Weinstein and present her with her awards, which include a plaque, a ribbon and a check representing her winnings throughout the contest.
"This is a remarkable achievement when you consider that, by the time she won third place at the national level, her poster had advanced ahead of thousands of chapter-entry posters from all across the country," Whitten said.
Whitten also pointed out that Weinstein's older sister, Jo Jo, placed first in the chapter contest and third at the state level two years ago.
"Obviously, art talent runs in this family," he said.
The contest is long, and although Weinstein received the award at Athens Intermediate, where she now attends classes, she actually entered the contest last year when she was attending Athens Christian Academy.
According to the SAR national website, "The aim of this contest is to stimulate interest in American History in support of the established school curriculum."

It's not every day that Gov. Rick Scott has kind words for President Barack Obama.
But he did this morning, lauding Obama and the United States military today for tracking down and killing Osama bin Laden.
Scott briefly spoke to the media after a memorial ceremony recognizing law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
"It was great that we were able to nationally, we were able to find Osama bin Laden," Scott said. "You have to commend the president, the armed forces, the special forces that took the risk to go in there to do that, and the fact that we've been committed to do this ever since 9/11."
Scott recalled being in New York City when planes hit the World Trade Center on the morning of Sept. 11.
"I was walking down the street, I think I was probably far enough away, I heard some crash, but I didn't know that anything was going on," Scott said. "I was probably far enough away that I didn't really hear it. But I turned the street corner and everybody had the radio on."
"The people I worked with had friends that died," Scott said. "Friends of my kids parents had died, so it was a horrible day for America."

Lisa Sullivan stood in line at the layaway counter at the earlier this week, her two children in tow, hoping to pay off those Christmas presents. The holiday is less than a week away, and she was running out of time.
She didn't have to do this. Sullivan had plenty of presents already, all safely hidden from her kids' sight in her Tinton Falls home and waiting to be wrapped for the big day.
She wasn't standing in that line for herself. Sullivan is what Kmart this year is calling a "Layaway Angel" – an anonymous person who pays off the remaining layaway amount on someone else's account.
It's something she felt she had to do, a way to spread around some of her own good fortune to hopefully brighten someone's Christmas day.
"You do one nice thing for someone, then hopefully they do something nice for someone else,'' said Sullivan, 41. "It's a good way to spread it around.''
Since a nationwide news story circulated about anonymous donors paying off layaway accounts at Kmart stores across the country, the chain has seen a dramatic increase in the number of "Angels'' paying off accounts. The Wall store is no exception, according to Kmart workers.
"People have been really generous,'' said Terry, a Kmart manager at the Wall store who declined to give his full name. "We've gotten about five or six Angels a day.''
The manager said it was the first time the company has seen people paying off the accounts of others.
But the idea has caught fire.
Sullivan said she was motivated to pay off someone's tab when a friend of hers said she had already done the same.
"It made me realize how fortunate we are,'' Sullivan said. "We both have jobs. We have our health, a home, a good school for the kids.''
Sullivan works as an account manager at Links Insurance Services on Route 71 in Wall. Her husband, Mark, works in New York City as a marketing vice president.
Sullivan said she used the charitable moment as a teaching opportunity for her children.
"I explained that layaway was when you needed stuff but didn't have the money right away because you're paying bills and stuff,'' Sullivan said. "And that we all were helping this person have a better Christmas.''
Sullivan said the cashier behind the counter had just spoken to a woman who was checking on her layaway and had said she was worried that she might not be able to get there in time to pay it off.
The cashier was making the return call to tell the woman her tab was paid when Sullivan left.
In that same layaway line, Sullivan said, there were two more people behind her, also waiting to pay off someone's bill.
"With everything that's going on with the economy, and people being out of work, maybe this might spark someone else to do the same,'' Sullivan said.

After the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, communities around the country have stepped up to help those affected on the East Coast. And Tinley Park is no exception. Businesses have been collecting donations, and even Tinley Park Police officers have been asked to assist with emergency efforts. (No officers were deployed to New Jersey, however, because the state withdrew its request.)

This isn't the first time the village has helped out storm victims. In 2005, the community came together to find housing here for the displaced New Orleans residents of Hurricane Katrina.
Watch the video shot by Todd A. Sherman (and posted on YouTube) to see how the village volunteers greeted the out-of-state residents as they pulled in on buses to Tinley Park.

Watch: Live IPL Streaming | Scorecard
Yo Mahesh struck in the ninth over to dismiss Ajinkya Rahane (17) and reduce hosts Royals to 40/3 in 8.4 overs.
The match was marred with rain interruptions.
Ben Hilfenhaus dismissed Shane Watson (5) and Rahul Dravid (4) to give Chennai early breakthroughs against Rajasthan.
Play resume after rain stopped the crucial match for the second time soon after the hosts lost skipper Dravid.
Hilfenhaus gave the visitors early breakthrough as he dismissed Dravid in the second over to reduce the Royals to 6/1 in 1.5 overs.
The important IPL clash was stopped for almost 50 minutes by light drizzle soon after Chennai pacer Albie Morkel bowled the first ball of the match.
Earlier, Chennai skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to field against Rajasthan.
"With the rain around we chose to field as we want to have a better idea of the target," Dhoni said after winning the toss.
Chennai have left out S Badrinath and Faf du Plessis, who are not well. Michael Hussey and S Anirudha will replace them in the playing eleven.
Rajasthan have made just one change in their playing eleven from last game, bringing in Brad Hodge in place of Owais Shah.
Upbeat after their two consecutive victories, Rajasthan are aiming for a hat-trick of wins and inch closer to a playoffs spot against an insipid Chennai.
Rajasthan have the winning momentum with them and have emerged from the shock of four consecutive defeats by posting two impressive wins over Kings XI Punjab and Pune Warriors.
The match will be a keenly-fought contest because a defeat in the match might just spoil the chances of either team to make it to playoffs.
The team composition for the previous two matches has been remarkable for Rajasthan. With Australian all-rounder Shane Watson and pacer Shaun Tait in the side, they have proved that they are better as a team than their more fancied rivals.
On the other hand, champions for the past two years, Chennai have not been in prime form this season and are languishing at sixth with five victories and six defeats.
They have not been able to finish off close games and have lacked consistency.
But Chennai have enjoyed a three-day break which might have provided them with enough time to regroup and plan for their remaining four games. The fact that they are the most successful IPL team, having played in three finals and have been victorious twice, should also give them confidence.
Besides, Mahendra Singh Dhoni leads a team that boasts of several international stars who have the ability to turn games.
Rajasthan Royals: Rahul Dravid (capt), Siddharth Trivedi, Shane Watson, Shaun Tait, Dishant Yagnik (wk), Brad Hodge, Johan Botha, Ashok Menaria, Pankaj Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, Stuart Binny.
Chennai Super Kings: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt/wk), Srikkanth Anirudha, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dwayne Bravo, Ben Hilfenhaus, Michael Hussey, Ravindra Jadeja, Yo Mahesh, Albie Morkel, Suresh Raina, Murali Vijay.

First read "Motion Offense". Here are a few simple plays to run off the 3-2 motion offense. Youth teams will find these helpful. At the bottom of this page, there are several links that contain many more plays that can be run from the 3-2 offense.
The curl cut can be difficult to defend at times. Here O1 passes to O2. Meanwhile O4 moves to the opposite elbow to act as a screener. O5 curls around O4 and looks for pass from O2 (and clears back to his original short corner if he doesn't get the pass). After O5 cuts, O3 delays and curls around O4's screen looking for the pass from O2 (and clears to the opposite corner). Then O4 delays, seals, and cuts into the paint for the pass from O2.

The Joplin Globe
CARL JUNCTION, Mo. —
After making bogey on two of the first three holes, Les Taylor ran off five birdies during the next six holes en route to a 3-under-par 69 Saturday at Briarbrook Golf Course to grab the seniors division lead in the Joplin Globe Men's City Championship.
Meanwhile, Evan Wood began his title defense of the regular division the same way as last year when he was tied for the first-round lead. Wood and Andy Franklin matched 1-over-par 73s from the Blue tees to share the top spot.
The Joplin Golf Club, also the defending team champion, grabbed the team lead with a five-man total of 376, followed by Briarbrook at 384 and Twin Hills at 398.
Briarbrook, the defending seniors team champion, had three players among the top five and posted a 367 total, followed by Twin Hills with 386 and Joplin Golf Club with 393.
Today's second round begins at 10 a.m. at Schifferdecker Municipal Golf Course. The final round is set for next Saturday at Twin Hills Golf and Country Club.
Taylor certainly didn't get off to a good start with bogeys on the second and third holes.
"I missed a seven-footer on 1 (for birdie) that lipped out, then on 2 and 3 I played in the woods," Taylor said. "I got upset at myself. ... I just concentrated better I guess."
The concentration obviously paid dividends.
A seven-footer on the par-3 fourth hole began the birdie barrage, followed by a three-footer on 5, 12-footer on 6, 15-footer on 7 and 12-footer on 9 to make the turn at 3-under 33.
Another birdie on 12 dropped him to 4-under before he gave a shot back with a bogey on the long par-3 16th.
"I was doing OK on the back," he said. "I should have made more birdies, but I was satisfied after the way I started off."
Dave Tourtelot, like Taylor a Briarbrook member, also broke par with a 1-under 71. He shot 35 on the front nine with a bogey on the first hole and birdies on 2 and 6. He matched par-36 on the back nine with birdies on 11 and 17 and a double-bogey 6 on 14.
Keith Phillips from Briarbrook and Jim Weaver and Bob McKay, both from Twin Hills, were tied for third with 75.
Jim Lucas, the defending seniors champion, carded two 38s for a 76. He's tied with Briarbrook teammates Tim Old, Dan Tourtelot and Terry Key and Daryl Deel of Twin Hills.
Wood, a Twin Hills member, posted nines of 36-37 with birdies on No. 7 and No. 13, both par-5s. He bogeyed the first hole, No. 15 and No. 16.
Franklin, playing for Joplin Golf Club, birdied the second and fourth holes but also had bogeys on 3, 5, 7 and 9 for a front-nine 38. A bogey on 11 put him at 3-over before he birdied No. 13 and No. 17.
Chris Mitchell of Briarbrook and Justin Nichols of Twin Hills were tied for third with 74s, and Tug Baker from Joplin Golf Club was fifth with 75.
Tied for sixth with 76s were Jared Allison of Twin Hills and Corey Clingan and Doug Harvey from Briarbrook.

Coca-Cola Removes Flame Retardant Chemical From Powerade
Coca-Cola has decided to change the formula of several of its beverages by removing the controversial ingredient brominated vegetable oil (BVO).
The move comes after a petition on Change.org by Mississippi teenager Sarah Kavanagh, to have BVO removed from Pepsi's Gatorade sports drink, garnered over 200,000 signatures.
Pepsi agreed to remove the ingredient, and Kavanagh launched a similar petition for Coke with regards to Powerade.
On Monday, Coke announced it has already made the modification to several of its Powerade drinks, and that it would be removing it from all of its beverages that contain it.
BVO contains bromine, which is also used as a flame retardant and can build up in fatty tissue, leading to health problems.
The Wall Street Journal's Jason Bellini joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson to discuss the changes in the beverages, as well as overall sales of soft drinks.
- Jason Bellini, video reporter and senior producer for the Wall Street Journal. He tweets @jasonbellini.
From NPR and WBUR Boston, I'm Jeremy Hobson. This is HERE AND NOW.
Coca-Cola has joined Pepsi in announcing it will no longer use the controversial ingredient brominated vegetable oil or BVO in its beverages. That announcement follows an online campaign that pointed out that BVO has been patented as a flame retardant. Joining us now to talk about this is Jason Bellini of the Wall Street Journal. Hi, Jason.
JASON BELLINI: Hi, Jeremy.
HOBSON: So I mentioned that online campaign, which by the way was started by a teenager from Mississippi.
BELLINI: That's right, Jeremy. A 17-year-old girl who decided she wanted to get BVO out of Pepsi's Gatorade and Coca-Cola's Powerade. In fact, with Gatorade, she managed to get 200,000 signatures on a petition on Change.org where she pointed out, as you just did, that one of the ingredients--or that BVO is an ingredient that is patented as a flame retardant, and it's not approved for use in Japan, in the European Union.
HOBSON: Well, tell us what it is exactly.
BELLINI: Well, it's what's known as an emulsifier. It's used to distribute flavors more evenly in fruit flavored drinks, the flavors that we have in them that are oils that need to be spread throughout. Now, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which is a health advocacy group, they note that the FDA permitted the use of BVO on an interim basis in the 1970, pending an additional study.
But decades later that study's never happened, and the group says that BVO is still on the interim list. Now, we should point out that both Coke and Pepsi say, you know, we're taking this out of our products, Coke by year's end, but we still stand by the notion that this is a safe product.
HOBSON: Yeah, and well, I should note from personal experience that I've had a number of Cokes and Pepsis in my life and I'm still here right now. But what are they going to put in its place?
BELLINI: What are they going to put in its place? Well, Coca-Cola is saying that they're going to use sucrose acetate isobutyrate.
HOBSON: That's supposed to be better than BVO, I guess?
BELLINI: Supposedly. Well, it's not listed as a fire retardant. At least they have that going for it. And another glycerol product that's used in chewing gum and other drinks, another ingredient that's difficult to announce. Pepsi hasn't said what they're going to be using to replace BVO in their drinks, and how they plan to make Mountain Dew more all natural.
HOBSON: And this comes at a time, Jason, that a lot of people are moving away from these sodas all together and towards healthier drinks. How are the sales of sodas doing right now?
BELLINI: Well, in the United States, abysmally, I mean, for the last 13 years Americans have been drinking less Coke and now even Diet Coke sales have been falling off a cliff. Globally, sales of soda has been slowing. You know, it's still growing year by year, but not as fast as it had in the past.
And that's because, you know, the same concerns that we have here about sugar intake and obesity are now spreading worldwide. But sales of Coke's non-sodas include Minute Maid juice, Dasani water, Powerade sports drinks, those went up last year by volume.
HOBSON: So, other than taking BVO or other flame retardants out of their drinks, what are these companies doing to increase sales and try to get their popularity back?
BELLINI: Well, and it's interesting, in the case of Coke, their CEO is doubling down on Coke. And in fact, they're going to boost their advertising on Coke and other new products by over a billion dollars over the next three years globally. Last year they spent $3.3 billion advertising Coke. And they're going to be using singer Taylor Swift as their pitch woman.
So, they're not planning to give up any time soon on Coca-Cola. I mean, that's really, that is their sort of baseline product.
HOBSON: Jason Bellini of the Wall Street Journal. Jason, thanks so much as always.
BELLINI: Thank you.
HOBSON: This is HERE AND NOW.

You can't categorize Le Garage Home & Garden in any single way.
The shop on Pacific Coast Highway—easily recognizable from the street by the curved green awning and decorously arrayed windows—stocks antiques like stately armoires, wonderful old vanities and mirrors fit for the Palace of Versailles, as well as things for the garden like stone sculptures, potting benches and a bistro set.
Interested in shabby chic? The distressed tables, ornamental sconces and big, upholstered stools are right up the shabby chic alley.
"A lot of people have shied away from using that term," owner Bret Blumenthal, 46, said. "They will use beach chic, cottage chic, or French country, something along those lines."
Regardless of what you call it, people come "from all over California" for the one-of-a-kind rustic pieces, Blumenthal said. Just as designers searching for unique items—antique ceiling tin, say, or a Belgian corbel—find them at Le Garage.
At first glance the shop seems cluttered, chandeliers dangling from the ceiling, clocks, ornaments, vintage crockery and art crowding walls, shelves and tables.
Slowly, you begin to realize that each "vignette," as Blumenthal refers to various areas in the store, is color-coordinated and skillfully arranged: a set of cobalt blue bottles, a pale green tray arrayed with sea shells, a small oil canvas emblazoned with the word "Pool."
Elsewhere, a black-beige-and-white area features a black wire basket, beige hutch and painted wooden board that says "Happiness is not a destinatiion. It is a way of life."
But what you see is not all you get at Le Garage.
Want a custom-built armoir?
"Customers will come in with a photo and we'll (build) it exactly as it looks in the (picture) and save them a few hundred dollars," Blumenthal said as he stood between the sales counter and a wall of ticking antique clocks. "I work with several carpenters and they each have their specialties."
One specialty is outdoor Adirondack-style furniture.
"We do a great lifeguard chair that we offer in seven different colors," the graying shop owner said, indicating a tall wooden chair in his catalogue. "They are great for patios if there's a railing in the line of vision; this (chair) elevates you."
Not only does Blumenthal offer custom-built furniture, including a line of upholstered chairs and sofas (no fewer than 150 different styles, mind you), he provides painting, refinishing and interior design services.
L.A. Kings star Dustin Brown is one of Blumenthal's clients. The hockey player's home is done in a style Blumenthal calls "eclectic ... with a beachy twist to it."
Blumenthal, who travels from Bel Air estate sales to Paris flea markets during the year, may be best known for unearthing unique pieces, whether it's a huge antique bistro clock or a French zinc-top buffet.
He loves buying trips to Europe and northern California and thrives on negotiating, although his traveling is somewhat curtailed these days due to sports and family obligations, like coaching his son Cole's baseball team and teaching the 7-year-old ice hockey.
An avid ice hockey fan and player for 20 years, Blumenthal currently plays left wing on two local teams, The Blue Meanies and The Flyers. "It's a good release for me after a long day in the store, a great way to bond with team mates," he said.
Relaxing back on one of the custom sofas he sells, he talked of arriving at his present occupation by way of textiles.
Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, Blumenthal leapt into the industry after a couple years of college, finding his niche in designing and merchandising fabrics and traveling to China to purchase silks and brocades for garment manufacturers.
"I would travel to the Orient to different textile mills," he said of these Asian buying trips. "There used to be a big textile industry (in the U.S.) until everything went overseas to China."
He met his wife, Leslie, when both were in the textile business, he said. Leslie Blumenthal, now a merchandiser for a clothing manufacturer in Gardena, lived in the South Bay, where Blumenthal moved prior to their marriage 10 years ago. The couple live in Hollywood Riviera.
Eight years ago, his wife pregnant with their son, Blumenthal decided to buy Le Garage from a friend who wanted to sell to someone who would maintain "the integrity and style of the place."
Blumenthal had been commuting to downtown L.A. for "many, many years," he said, and wanted to work closer to home.
There were two Le Garage stores at the time, both next door to each other, one "more rustic," the other "more elegant," he said. The business was very successful for a while, he added, but when the economy started to go sour he decided to consolidate.
He kept the more rustic store, he said, a move that allowed him to be more "selective, dialed-in and focused" on what he wanted to offer customers and designers. Another good thing: "I'm doing about the same amount of business out of one store that I was doing out of two."
His goal is "to continue bringing unique items to people who shop here. I love going out and doing flea markets, estate sales, just searching and hunting for that unique object and negotiating the prices," he said, adding, "Wheeling and dealing as far as purchasing is a kind of high for me."
People often walk in off the street to sell things from their parents' or grandparents' house, he said. "Just being in a retail establishment every day, meeting all kinds of personalities coming in the door, has been a totally positive experience."
As much as he loves traveling, he likes "being local" even more.
"I've made a lot of good friends, business owners in area, all doing what they can to support other businesses in the area."
Same goes for charities.
"We do gift baskets for silent auctions, support school auctions, and the YMCA," he said. At Christmas, he sells tickets for the Sandpipers and Sophisticated Snoops, two South Bay groups that conduct home tours on behalf of charities.
The whole reason for the store, however, was to allow him more time with his family. "I try to do that as much as I can," said Blumenthal, who relishes the opportunity to drive his son to school and pick him up whenever possible.
Add a rousing ice hockey game as a Blue Meanie and—while he is "by no means becoming extremely wealthy"—life is good.
is located at 717 Pacific Coast Hwy. in South Redondo Beach.

With a large winter storm that brought us over 44 cm of snow on 21-22 December, it didn't take us long to get our skis waxed and get out skiing. The conditions on Sunday, 23 December were pretty much perfect with a solid multi-layered base over a foot thick and several centimetres of powder snow on top of that. Then, to make matters even better, other skiers had beaten us to the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands and set tracks for us!
With Matt and Katia in Ottawa for a short weekend visit to collect their snow tires, a spontaneous brunch was organized at Cora's on Alta Vista on a very wet Sunday morning. Aside from us and Matt and Katia, Christina, Alex and Liz were there.
Our cycling season is usually done by the middle of October as colder weather sets in, but this year we were out riding our Catrikes on 12 November as a warm front brought us a daytime high of 21°C. Climate change isn't all bad, although given a choice Ruth would rather be skiing.
On Thanksgiving Day the weather was so nice that we took a bus to Place d'Orleans and then did the 12 km round trip hike for a picnic at Petrie Island.
In early October we finally did some painting and completed the main upstairs bathroom.
Ruth's cancer treatment went on all spring and summer, ending in September. She wrote a book about the experiences, entitled The Topic of Cancer. Her treatment in 2012 was not successful and was continued in 2013.
We did a nice 45 km Catrike trip today on the NCC pathways in Ottawa. It was a little cool in morning as it got down to +5°C overnight, but by the middle of the afternoon it was a pleasant +22°C outside and we had to shed out sweaters. The photo was taken at the Rideau Canal locks downtown, where we stopped and ate our picnic lunch that we packed along in our panniers. Ruth's blog entry.
Ruth set a goal of triking 300 km this year and, despite losing most of the middle of the summer to cancer treatment, managed to complete her distance on 2 September! Her blog entry.
Ruth's sister Diane came to Ottawa with her son Michael and they made it to our house for a pleasant afternoon tea. Nick and Rachael joined us for the family gathering.
Matt & Katia came to join Rachael here in Ottawa with us for ten days and brought their cats, Anton and Teddy. Then Nick came up for the August long weekend, so we had six of us and two cats here! On Saturday we all went out for lunch together.
The warm, dry weather has continued through July. The grass is all brown and we are in a state of drought, but it has made for a great biking season so far. Today Adam & Rachael biked the 70 km round trip to the Aylmer Yacht Club for a picnic lunch.
The weather has just been amazing this July, warm and dry. Today Adam & Rachael decided to bike the 30 km of the completed Greenbelt Pathway.
Today was a beautiful day and so while Ruth rested, Adam and Rachael did a hike. Rachael wanted to do a hike downtown and back as a challenge and so we set off mid-morning, had lunch downtown and then walked back, for a total trip of about 24 km.
Today Adam and Rachael decided to give Ruth a break and bike to Lac Leamy for a brief picnic. We actually carried on north to the lookout at the Gatineau River for a total trip of about 70 km.
We picked a really beautiful day to wander through Commissioner's Park and take in the tulip beds at the Canadian Tulip Festival.
Both of us have been growing our hair since August 2012, but today Ruth decided she needed hers cut short, so I did as well.
With her college year done Rachael decided to come up to Ottawa and stay all summer to help out with Ruth's cancer treatment. We have all been doing some long hikes and even a quadracycling picnic that involved some swinging.
We shot a video at a local park of Rachael and Ruth cavorting, too.
In April Ruth was diagnosed with cancer. At this point it was pronounced treatable and she was scheduled to undergo radiation and chemotherapy over the spring and summer.
We often get a bit of snow in early April here in Ottawa, but this year we had temperatures of nearly 30°C in mid-March. Now we have snow in late April. The climate is certainly getting unpredictable and unstable.
Ruth finally got her own zafu. For the uninitiated a zafu is a special mediation cushion.
Ruth says about it, "The crescent shape gives me good leg support and really cuts down on the pins and needles I sometimes get in my feet. The cushion is also very firmly packed (with buckwheat) and so also really helps me with keeping a proper meditation posture. It works for me on more than the physical level. It's easier to focus on meditation when you're not fighting a slowly curving back, sleep or stiffness from forcing yourself to stay upright."
We both do quite a lot of volunteer work here in Ottawa. Ruth volunteers with the Ottawa Buddhist society and on Yahoo Answers, while Adam volunteers at National Capital FreeNet, COPA Flight 8 and on Wikipedia.
The first picture shows Adam with his NCF shirt and Ruth's NCF waterbottle - just supporting the cause! The second shows Adam at a Monday session at the NCF office fixing a computer that is used for DSL modem configuring and testing. On Fridays he mans the NCF office front desk, answers the phones, tests and configures modems and writes help pages there, as well as fixing the odd computer.
The week of 19-23 March we had unseasonable warm weather that set records by a wide margin each day. We had temperatures in the range of +27°C each day, when the normal daytime high is +5° and the records were in the range of +15°C. We normally don't get started on cycling until mid-April here, but the snow quickly melted and so we got our Catrikes out for a couple of really early trips. We figure that if we are going to have climate change then we have to make the best use of it.
Ruth wrote a couple of blog entries about this:
Skiing has come to a halt in the last few weeks as the freezing rain and then thawing temperatures turned the snow to ice and then water. But we recently had a snowfall of some 12 cm and this restarted our ski season. Today we went out into the greenbelt and broke trails there under bright blue skies.
Fresh snow gives the opportunity to see signs of wildlife and we saw lots of tracks from rabbits, squirrels and, as shown below, coyotes.
Ruth's older sister Barbara died suddenly and the funeral was held in Burlington, Ontario on 11 February 2012. We travelled to Burlington with Matt and Katia and during the weekend met up with most of the family who were there for this sad event.
This winter has been a real challenge for XC skiing, with any small amount of snow always followed by lots of freezing rain. Today was no exception as a warm front brought 3-4 cm of fresh snow to cover the ice everywhere and allow a bit of skiing. But the half decent conditions didn't last long, as they were followed by hours of freezing rain once again. This year you definitely need to get out skiing at the right moment or else miss the opportunity completely.
With poor skiing weather and snow conditions this year so far and Ruth being down sick, she hadn't been able to get out skiing until today, when we went for a short run in the Wetlands.
We had a bit of a long fall in 2011 and that meant that skiing was somewhat delayed. But by New Years Day there was (just) enough snow for a 5 km ski in the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands. With Ruth housebound with conjunctivitis, Adam went skiing alone. Ruth will have to make up the kilometers later!
