Just when we thought Lady Gaga was going to ditch her backup dancers and perform solo in Jakarta, Indonesia to adhere to their censorship guidelines, she has instead cancelled the controversial June 3 show. She sure does know how to start a ruckus. Cancelling the sold-out concert comes after religious leaders protested the pop star because of her explicit lyrics and racy costumes. Certain people were so opposed to her performing in Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, that Gaga received threats on her life. Let's face it, no show is worth the potential of losing your life. Read more…
Raising "Daughters" Is Tough, Nas' Daughter Destiny Makes A Cameo In New Video
Nas is unapologetically honest about what he's experienced in his life. His music explores the good, bad and ugly. After much controversy over the details he disclosed in "Daughters," the video has arrived. It's chill and mellow like the soulful track. The third single from his forthcoming album Life Is Good gives a small glimpse into Nas' private life as a father. Directed by Chris Robinson, the video begins with the birth of Nas' daughter Destiny. Although an actress plays her role, Destiny makes a cameo at the end proving everything is all good with her and pops. Read more…
All Hail Queen Bey! Beyonce Returns To The Stage With A Visit From Michelle Obama
Queen Bey is back, baby! In her first performance in four months– since the birth of Blue Ivy– Beyoncé Knowles returned to the stage for a Memorial Day weekend extravaganza at Revel Resort & Casino in Atlantic City for four nights of exhilarating performances. During the two hour set one of the biggest stars in the world performed nearly two dozen crowd favorites like "Single Ladies," "Get Me Bodied," "Halo," "Love On Top" and others. Celebrities from near and far traveled to Atlantic City to see the return of the Queen. It's not like we didn't know pals Michelle Obama and Beyoncé gush over one another all the time, but we weren't expecting the First Lady to show up to Bey's concert with daughters Sasha and Malia. It's pretty major when the First Lady of the United States, with Secret Service in tow, comes to see you. Read more…
All The Boys Go Crazy Over Rihanna: Chris Brown And Meek Mill Exchange Subliminal Tweets Over The Pop Star
When you're one of the flyest badgirls on the planet like Rihanna, you don't sweat the small stuff like having a pop singer and rapper throwing subliminal shots at each other on Twitter over you. For Memorial Day weekend Rihanna hung out (and held hands) with Drake down in Miami, according to NecoleBitchie.com. The two were in Miami to shoot French Montana's "Pop That" video. Rihanna sure does have a forgiving heart. It was just a couple of weeks ago folks were up in arms over Drake's alleged diss about Rihanna in his verse on 2 Chainz's "No Lie." While she was schmoozing with Drake, who has confessed his love for this woman
a million times before, Chris Brown and Meek Mill seemed to be throwing jabs back and forth on Twitter. Yes, you read that right. Rihanna's in Miami partying it up with Drizzy, meanwhile Chris Brown and Meek Mill are engaging in petty beefs on social media. All over Rihanna. Play on, player! Read more…
that dog. Reunites For Their First New York City Show Since 1997
It's very easy to view reunion shows through cynical eyes, particularly those of bands who came of age in the Nineties. Ever since the Pixies got back together at Coachella 2004 and became millionaires many times thanks to extended tours catering to their aging Generation X fanbase, virtually every band of consequence from the Buzz Bin era has reunited, most of them with visions of dollar signs dancing through their heads. However, that most certainly was not the case last night in Williamsburg when one of the the alternative rock era's most criminally underrated punky power pop outfits, that dog., played their first East Coast gig since 1997. The band dissolved after a difficult tour in support of their 1997 album Retreat From The Sun (a stone classic, if we do say so ourselves), but got back together for a handful of shows on their native West Coast last summer. They didn't do it to inflate their respective bank accounts, but rather as a means to blow the dust off their revered three album catalog and play their material for an adoring audience, a good chunk of whom never had the fortune to see them pre-breakup.
that dog. doesn't get much credit from the music critic community for being a particularly influential band, but looking back on their work with the benefit of hindsight, their three LPs — 1993′s That Dog, 1995′s Totally Crushed Out and 1997′s Retreat From The Sun — showcase some of the tightest hooks and catchiest riffs of that era. The soaring, three part harmonies of lead singer/guitarist Anna Waronker, violinist Petra Haden and bassist Rachel Haden were the perfect way to accentuate the band's female-centric lyrical content, most of which centered around boys (finding them, dealing with them, losing them). Because the band shared a label (Geffen) with some of the most influential alternative acts of that era —Nirvana, Beck, Hole, Weezer, and Counting Crows, to name but a few— it's easy to understand why they never quite got the spotlight pointed their way, but you wouldn't know that judging by the level of devotion the fans at the Music Hall of Williamsburg showed the group last night.

Shearer's Spotlight: An Open Letter To The VMAs Regarding Whitney Houston And Adam Yauch
Each week here on VH1 Tuner, our VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown host Jim Shearer (@jimshearer on Twitter) will be sharing his Shearer's Spotlight with us. Be sure to tune into the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown tomorrow morning when it airs on VH1 at 9 a.m. ET/PT.
In the past four months, music has lost the following legends: Whitney Houston, Jim Marshall (Marshall amps), Levon Helm (The Band), Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys), Dick Dunn (Booker T. and The MG's), Donna Summer, and Robin Gibb (Bee Gees).
Of the aforementioned, Houston and Yauch's work directly impacted MTV.
Houston brought vocal talent to pop music and Yauch —although his uncle Nathanial Hornblower may take credit— directed and starred in some of the most memorable videos ever seen on MTV. Just last year he won a Moonman for "Best Director."
Since Houston and Yauch helped put MTV on the map —or at least in millions of cable systems throughout the world— their tributes at the upcoming VMA's (Sept. 6) best befit their groundbreaking accomplishments. Read more…
Woodkid's Black And White "Run Boy Run" Video Slays Your Favorite Music Video
Yoann Lemoine, aka Woodkid, is a man of many great talents. You may not know the name yet, but you've seen his work in the form of music videos from Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans" to Drake and Rihanna's "Take Care" and Taylor Swift's "Back to December." The French indie musician, graphic designer and music video director released his first EP Iron last year. More recently he directed "Run Boy Run," which is the video to his new single. And we're running alright– our finger over the replay button.
It's an entire black and white video, which makes the cinematography that much more impressive. A young boy runs with tears streaming down his face into another world because the world he's in "isn't meant for [him]." Nature and an obscure white building are the only other things in sight until eagles and a monster made of hay suddenly appear. We won't tell you what happens next because you have to watch the video!
With minimum props Woodkid creates a phenomenal graphic piece of art. We were hypnotized by the beautiful simplicity of a little boy running with a sword with not much else going on. We predict his phone to be ringing off the hook with the biggest stars putting in a bid for his music video direction. At least that's what we'd do if we were musicians.

Video Premiere: Linkin Park, "Burn It Down"
Linkin Park is the last band of its kind still standing. Born during the nu metal craze of the early 2000s, this six-piece has successfully evolved their sound over the years and remained relevant while their peers like Korn and Limp Bizkit have long since fizzled out. "Burn It Down" is the first single off the band's forthcoming fifth studio album, Living Things, and was the only real "rock" song that was showcased during this past weekend's Billboard Music Awards.
As is to be expected from Linkin Park, the video is a visual treat. Much like "Waiting For The End," it's very futuristic in its overall feel. In particular, it seems to be inspired by H.R. Giger's influential design work on the film Alien; there is an undeniable combination of the organic and the mechanical present in the setting in which the band performs. Of course, a nod to the visual aesthetic championed by director Ridley Scott is quite timely, as his Alien prequel Prometheus is set to open here in the United States in a few weeks time.
Is "Home" By Phillip Phillips The Best Original American Idol Song Ever?
We'd like to offer a hearty congratulations to Phillip Phillips today, and not just because he's recently become the single most famous person in the United States who has the same first and last name since Sirhan Sirhan (though this is certainly an achievement in and of itself). Phillip Phillips won the 11th season of American Idol last night, thanks to his rootsy acoustic guitar fingerplucking, laconic Southern charm and #realwave stylings. When Ryan Seacrest announced that he had defeated Jessica Sanchez, Phillip performed his final song — in Idol lingo, they're called "coronation songs" — called "Home." And you know what? It might just be our favorite original Idol song of all-time, and not just because P.P. teared up somethin' fierce during it.
"Home," which was written by Drew Pearson and Greg Holden, has a very Mumford & Sons kind of feel to it; whereas most Idol originals are so syrupy that you can contract diabetes just by listening to them, "Home" was not constructed to be a showcase for melisma. The lyrics, while certainly uplifting thanks to their reinforcement of the notion that it's important for one to stay strong and grounded in the face of adversity, take a back seat to the verbalized melody of the bridge, which are quite beautiful and simple in that they are but a series of soothing "ooohs" and "ahhhs." It's a very traditional and safe song, which isn't to say that it's boring. Rather, it's quite comforting, and we wouldn't be surprised if more than a few high schools around the nation pick this as their Prom Theme this year.
But, is this the BEST Idol song ever? It's really hard to top Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This," and we still have a soft spot in our heart for Fantasia's "I Believe." Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Thanks to all the community-minded individuals who participated in Grow-a-Row this year! From Sugarhouse to Spanish fork, over 40 people grew and donated fresh produce to their local food pantries. The map below shows all the "rows" throughout the valley. Check out this great article from Deseret News that highlights a West Jordan boy scout who used Grow a Row to enlist his neighbors to grow and donate thousands of pounds of winter squash this season.
Why Grow a Row? We believe that everyone has the right to fresh, healthy, food. However, those who rely on food pantries often do not have access to fresh produce. This is where you come in. Do you have a garden that produces far too many tomatoes than you can eat and preserve? Does your apple tree overwhelm you with fruit by the end of the season? Instead of letting all that fresh, nutritious produce go to waste, you can donate it to it to your local food pantry. You can fight hunger in your own backyard!
How it works: We want to make giving easy, so in the spring we contact food pantries to make sure that they're willing and able to receive donations from the public. By making the connection between participants and pantries, we hope to increase the amount of fresh produce donated throughout the growing season. We believe that this is one way to give back and share extra produce with those who otherwise lack access. Read about the history of Grow-a-Row here.
Who can participate: Anyone with a bit of garden space! This is also great opportunity for an Eagle Scout Project. Please help us spread the word to your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Follow this link to download a Grow A Row flyer.
How to get involved: Sign up here to register your "row." You can find a pantry accepting donations near you here. After you plant, grow, and harvest your produce, you're all set to donate your surplus to hunger relief.
Questions about our Grow-a-Row program? Email Liz or call us at the office.

3 of us – hospitality workers employed on zero-hour contracts – have lost our jobs. This is at Friends House London, the head office of British Quakers where – despite the organisation's reputation as a 'good employer' – senior managers responded to objections to the use of zero-hour contracts by getting rid of the three remaining workers employed on them!
Two of us were elected Unite the Union workplace representatives, and a third is a Quaker. One worker has been subject to intimidatory disciplinary processes; we all feel we've been targeted for being principled and outspoken at work; and our health has suffered. With the support of the London IWW union, we are calling for:

I'm at my wits end
Hello. I am so overwhelmed by my weight. My doctor says I should consider weight loss surgery if I can't lose the weight and so far I haven't been successful. I get real hyper about it and then don't follow through after a day or two. Can I post here or join up with anyone who needs to lose 100 pounds? That's so much I don't even know if I could do it on my own really. I live alone now and it's hard to make a plan and stick to it so I think I need some support.
mid pen, a lot of us here understand what you are going through. I found myself in a similar situation, after several years of emotional eating, stress, etc. I had just about convinced myself that it was impossible for me to lose weight at my age, (59.)
First of all, just try to lose a little bit at a time. Stop telling yourself that you need to lose 100, aim for 5, or 10 and just go from there. Before you know it, you will have lost 10, then 20, then 30. When you start and weigh yourself that first day of your healthier lifestyle, tell yourself that this is the biggest you are going to be, and that it's going to be downhill from hereon. A year ago, I joined Weight Watchers and started a simple walking program. I've lost 56 pounds (as of last week's weigh in) and would like to lose 15 more. I should have been at my goal by now, but I relaxed during the holidays. Don't beat yourself up when you splurge from time to time, because most of us do. Enjoy the moment, then get on with it.
You mention that you live alone. You can use that to your advantage - clean out your pantry and fridge of the stuff that's not good for you, stock up on healthy foods, etc.
Do you have someone you can exercise with - a buddy system really helps me, although some prefer the solitude of walking by themselves. Also, if you find a good support group, like Weight Watchers or TOPS, you might enjoy the social part of it, as well. We have a great group that I look forward to seeing every week.
Good luck to you. There are a lot of great people here who can help you. You can do it.
This forum is a great help.
I'm 79 and can't exercise as much as I should because of some other medical problems. But I have lost 29.5 pounds. If I can do it, anyone can.
I'm always wanting to snack and as I live with my son, don't feel I can deny him the treats he likes but the idea of making sure none are in the house is a good one, if you are living alone.
All the best to you and please keep posting.
Harold is a wonderful help with all his encouragement on the weekly weigh in.
Thank you, Ivamae.
Mid_pen, I think wodka and ivamae have given you some good advice. You are welcome to join us on the weigh-in thread.
I've lost 93 pounds in the last year. It can be done. What works for me is counting calories and exercise. It doesn't have to be heavy exercise. I count calories using a computer spreadsheet, but there are some online journals that can be very helpful. My favorite ones are:

Penn Researchers Discover New Role for Master Regulator in Cell Metabolism, Response to Stress
AMP-activated protein kinase, or AMPK, is a master regulator protein of metabolism that is conserved from yeast to humans. When a cell is low on fuel, AMPK shuts down processes that use energy and turns on processes that produce energy.
Biologists have been studying how AMPK works for several decades and know that once it is activated, AMPK turns on a large number of genes by passing the "make more energy" message through numerous signaling cascades in the cell. What was not known, until now, was that AMPK also works via an epigenetic mechanism to slow down or stop cell growth.
Rescuing Fruit Flies from Alzheimer's Disease
Investigators have found that fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) males -- in which the activity of an Alzheimer's disease protein is reduced by 50 percent -- show impairments in learning and memory as they age. What's more, the researchers were able to prevent the age-related deficits by treating the flies with drugs such as lithium, or by genetic manipulations that reduced nerve-cell signaling.

text: Home > Lifestyle > Man > Your life Updated 15 August 2014 Things women wish you knew Don't be the guy that couldn't do it right. Here's something to send an untimely chill down your spine - your partner is hoping you'll read this article. 7 iStock Related Is semen the secret to sexy skin? Boost your sex drive naturally More than just getting it up Follow us Facebook » Ask CyberShrink » Join Talk forums » Test Your sex toy IQ » Penile transplant: Three key takeout points How the world's first successful penis transplant took place You don't want to be the guy that couldn't do it right, the one she grinds her teeth at every time she has to get in bed with you.Face it, women are different to men. So it's predictable that some of the things blokes do in bed will drive women wild, while others might just irk them a bit. Here are a few, and what you can do about them.HygieneEven if you believe your trouser furniture is clean, a shower before bed never hurt anyone. She might even get into hot water with you. Being clean is a basic courtesy, whether you've spent the day by the pool or mopping out the lion's cage.The same goes for your hands and any other part of you that you plan to put inside her. Clean hands and immaculately trimmed and scrubbed nails are mandatory.Trying to be a studWomen can be very sensitive about this: Mr Lover Man goes through his whole seduction routine, stimulating her squishy bits and coaxing her toward an almighty orgasm. Yet she gets the feeling he's making love to A Woman, rather than to her. Try focusing on her. Calling her by her name is good, especially if you pronounce it correctly.Foreplay starts with the clothes onWarming up to a sweaty, naked encounter can start hours, even days beforehand and actually being considerate and nice can pay dividends. Some blokes can pull off the whole smouldering, bad-guy image, but a lot of the time they end up glowering, Healthcliffe-like, at themselves in the mirror of some bar. The bottom line: don't stand her up for lunch and then expect to arrive at her place and be greeted by a seductress in something lacy.Hitting the same basesBeware of slipping into a schedule: kiss, breasts, kiss some more, penetration. Once a women feels you've fallen into a habit, the thermostat goes off. Remind yourself of all the other nerve endings in splendid array around her body. Even slender girls have plenty of skin and all of it has really useful nerve endings.Keeping quietEven if you're not the most articulate of men when you're in the sack, try to at least emit the occasional appreciative sound. And if she urges you to talk to her during those intimate moments, you'd better learn to.Being too roughWe'll put it down to enthusiasm, but no woman likes to have her breasts twisted off or her vagina prodded with claw-like fingers. You're dealing with soft, pliable tissue here. Go softly. If you're doing it correctly, you'll know, and if she wants more pressure or roughness she'll probably tell you.Finishing too soonFor some men this becomes a dreaded habit that warrants therapy. For most, it can be fixed with a little self-help.Masturbate until you're about to have an orgasm, then stop. Repeat this several times before finishing off. Regularly working at this will help to delay your reaction and you ought to be able to control it better. Until you get that right you can rely on the rest of your formidable arsenal of stimulation to provide your partner with all sorts of pleasure. You can give her an orgasm with cunnilingus or your fingers, or take her up to the very brink before introducing your penis.Lasting too longSome men would give a kidney to have this problem, but it can be very little fun for women who just wish the guy would finish up.For some men, this is a result of plenty of frenzied, hurried masturbation, which has left the penis desensitised. It can be cured by leaving the member alone for a few weeks. With no masturbation, there'll be some return of sensitivity. After that you should masturbate gently, or by using only your fingertips, not squeezing like you're trying to throttle a python.(William Smook, Health24, updated March 2014)(Picture: woman thinking from Shutterstock) Read more:5 tips to spice up your sex lifeThe lowdown on the penisAny questions?

Fun-tastic Photo Puzzles for Curious Minds (2014)
Wednesday, January 28, 2015
January is National Puzzle Month, and the 29th is National Puzzle Day! If you would like a great book to help you celebrate before the month is out, try this visual feast, published by National Geographic Kids. It features a variety of photo puzzles: optical illusions, hidden pictures, "Spot the Difference" (on two-page spreads), and more! It's full of fun facts about nature, including how animals use camouflage for safety, how humans use vision and the brain in concert to understand the world around them, and how our perceptions can be fooled by visual tricks. There are also word scrambles to decipher. The book can be enjoyed in one sitting, or a bit at a time, in any order. There is an introduction on "How to Play" at the beginning of the book, and a puzzle key towards the back.
What in the World? is recommended for ages 8-12.
Writer to Writer : From Think to Ink
Monday, January 26, 2015
This book grew out of a blog that Gail Carson Levine began in 2009. From a rather amorphous beginning, the blog turned into a dialogue about the writing process, and that dialogue lead to this book. Written in response to actual questions, this extremely practical guide uses examples from classic and contemporary works to trace the writing process from initial spark through the development of character, conflict and plot. There is a chapter on the practical aspects of deadlines and publishing as well as a whole section on writing poetry and how to use it in a story. Each chapter is filled with writing prompts and most close with this excellent advice, "Have fun, and save what you write!" Conversational and encouraging in tone, reading this book feels like sitting down with Gail herself for a nice, little chat. Recommended for writers and readers both, this is a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of a phenomenal author.
For more fun, check out Gail's earlier book about the writing process Writing Magic : Creating Stories that Fly.
Pirate, Viking, & Scientist
Friday, January 23, 2015
This boisterous picture book does a wonderful job demonstrating the scientific method. Instead of a glossary at the back of the book, a "Scientist's Word List" in found on the front endpapers. Scientist is friends with both Viking and Pirate. Pirate and Viking were not friends and could not get along with each other, even for Scientist's birthday party. Scientist decides that he will find an answer using the scientific method. He makes up a hypothesis, runs the experiment, and observes the results. When the first results do not produce the desired outcome, he develops another hypothesis! And so on, until Scientist comes up with an experiment that supplies the conclusion he wants. Chapman claims "the illustrations in this book were drawn with ink from Pirate's pet octopus and an old, ratty brush that Viking found at the bottom of the ocean. For the digital coloring, Scientist created a supercomputer that is already hard at work on a new story." I enjoyed this story and can see using it with students to explain the scientific method.

This picture book written and illustrated by John Rocco tells the true details of his experience with the New England Blizzard of 1978. In his author's note, Rocco explains that it snowed for two days, and his street in Rhode Island had received over forty inches of snow. Rocco starts with telling of watching the snow start on Monday (written in chalk on the chalkboard) and going home from school early. Tuesday (written in letters created by a squirrel's footprints) the family discovers that they can't open their front door due to all the snow. So, the children go out a window instead, but come inside to make camp by the woodstove. On Wednesday (letters created by the frost on the small branches of a tree) the driveway gets shoveled, but by Thursday (created by bird tracks), the plow still hasn't arrived. On Friday (letters made up of raisins that fell out of a box), the child decides to take action by taking his tennis rackets and turning them into makeshift snowshoes. Pages fold out to detail his route to the store, showcasing multiple stops along the way. On the way back he delivers groceries to all of his stops, and makes it home in time to tell about his journey. The next day the snowplows come through and the kids go back to school, having survived the Blizzard of 1978. Rocco's snowy artwork looks like snow, and the illustrations were produced with pencil, watercolor, and digital painting. Kirkus and Booklist gave this book starred reviews, and I recommend it for Kindergarten and up.

Shoua and the Northern Lights Dragon
Monday, January 19, 2015
Do you believe dreams have meanings? In the Hmong culture dreams have a special meaning. Shoua is not allowed to go on a camping trip with her grandfather, father, and brothers because traditional Hmong women must do household chores of cooking, cleaning, and taking care of younger siblings. However, during dinner Shoua's mother convinced Shoua's grandfather to allow Shoua to go on her first camping trip. Shoua's mother had a dream about someone in the family catching a falling star in the forest. Shoua's grandfather believed in magical dreams because he is a shaman who can connect with the spirit world. While camping Shoua discover her strength, courage, and internal sense of power to fight for what she believes in. She must save the dragon to gain respect and honor in the family. This book captures the richness and beauty of the Hmong culture and traditions through Shoua's magical adventure.
To learn more about the Hmong culture, read An Introdcution to Hmong Culture.
Digby O'Day In the Fast Lane
Friday, January 16, 2015
This early chapter book is the first entry in the Digby O'Day series by the mother/daughter team of Shirley Hughes and Clara Vulliamy, and is perfect for those students ready to graduate from Frog and Toad or Little Bear into something more complex. Digby O'Day, a dog, loves his old car and often goes for drives with his friend Percy, another dog. His neighbor Lou Ella, a human, buys a new and expensive car every year. The majority of the book revolves around a race from Didsworth to Dodsworth and the efforts between Digby and Lou Ella to win. Digby is a likable character, and the short selection "Introducing Digby O'Day" gets the reader acquainted with the dog. Vulliamy's illustrations in pencil, ink, and digital collage are complementary to the text. The book ends with Percy's Perfect Car Games such as "I Spy" or "The License Plate Game" and a Digby O'Day quiz. This book received a starred review from School Library Journal.

The Mystery of the Missing Lion
A Precious Ramotswe Mystery for Young Readers (2014)
Friday, January 9, 2015
This book is third in the chapter book series starring the protagonist of McCall Smith's adult series, the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. In this installment, Precious is invited to visit her Aunty Bee who lives at the top of Botswana and works at a safari camp because something exciting is going to happen there. It would be an expensive trip, and Precious' father is not sure he can afford a bus ticket, but he finds a way for Precious to travel with a cattle buyer he knows. When the fan belt breaks Precious has an idea to help.
It turns out that there will be a movie filmed at the safari camp, with a tame lion named Teddy. Precious and her new friend Khumo even get to assist the filmmakers with getting the lion to act the way they want him to. Unfortunately the next day, Teddy has disappeared, and the director is frantic to get him back. Precious and Khumo borrow a canoe and go looking for the lion, and see that he has joined a pride of wild lions. Precious is observant and able to tell the director exactly where she saw the lions. Precious saves the director's life and has a role in determining Teddy's future.
Illustrations in black, gray, and maroon add greatly to the story. A glossary, reader's guide with discussion questions, and curriculum connections for teachers round out the end of the book.
Start out with the first book in the series, The Great Cake Mystery.

Can You Say It, Too? Moo! Moo!
Wednesday, January 7, 2015
Perky, colorful pages feature wide-eyed, friendly farm animals, many of them in hiding in different places in and around in the barnyard (behind large, easy-to-lift flaps). Who's that in the barn? Lift the flap and see! Little ones may notice a little bit of each animal- an ear, a tail, etc., - peeking out from behind their hiding places, providing a hint each time. Once the animal is revealed, kids can help them make the animal's sound! Look for a special surprise in the barn stall! This board book is one in the "Can You Say It, Too?" series by Braun; all have the similarly simple text, large flaps, and cheery look.
Toddler-tested and approved, this book is recommended for children 0-3 years.

Outside (2014)
Monday, January 5, 2015
When inside is boring and his older brother is too absorbed in electronics to play, a young child ventures outdoors and discovers a world of fantasy and adventure. In this world snowmen come to life and snow laden trees become gentle giants. Readers will want to keep an eye on a small, stuffed dragon that accompanies the boy on his indoor play, and see what this leads to in the magical world of "outside."
This picture book captures the beauty and bigness of both the world outside and the wonders of an unshackled imagination.
Andy, Also!
Friday, January 2, 2015
The second book in the Jump Into Chapters series about Andy the Alligator and Preston the Coyote Pup is also funny like the first. When Preston announces that he is Andy, also, the Alligator is indignant and gives multiple reasons why Preston cannot be an Andy. Andy the Alligator insists that Preston change his name, and when Preston says no, Andy names him Dr. Turkeyfeet. The chapter gets sillier when Dr. Turkeyfeet arrives on the scene. Two more chapters featuring Andy and Preston's adventures follow. Give this book to fans of Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie series.
Read the first book, Okay, Andy as well!
Extraordinary Warren Saves the Day
Wednesday, December 31, 2014
This second addition to the graphic novel series about a chicken with red spectacles named Warren introduces the reader to a newly hatched inquisitive chicken named Egg. Warren teaches Egg everything he knows. One morning, Egg gets up earlier than everyone else and is detemined to fly, and he makes it across the road where he talks to a cow and then gets lost in a field of corn. It isn't until after lunch that Warren realized that Egg is missing! Warren also crosses the road, looks everywhere for Egg, and doesn't know where to look next, until he hears Egg's voice. Egg is busy asking a spider question after question, and Warren follows the voice to Egg. They try to exit the cornfield to no avail, until Egg remembers some of the wisdom Warren had shared earlier--"Always follow the brightest star". They follow the star all the way back to the farm, where the other chickens are having a "search party". This silly graphic novel is perfect for new chapter book readers up to 3rd grade, younger for reading aloud.
Don't miss the first book, Extraordinary Warren, a Super Chicken.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New on DVD/VOD
Gangster Squad
WHAT would Brian De Palma's The Untouchables have been like if, instead of David Mamet, it had been scripted by a hack?
Here y'go. This hokey attempt at L.A. noir laboriously attempts to duplicate what made The Untouchables interesting.
Idealist cop out to rescue a city from corruption: Josh Brolin as Sgt. John O'Mara.
A powerful, charismatic, out-of-control mobster played by an Oscar-winning character actor: Sean Penn as feisty psychotic Mickey Cohen.
A savvy, streetwise cop initially resistant to the idealist's pleas for help? Well, as Sgt. Jerry Wooters, Ryan Gosling is clearly not an exact parallel for Sean Connery -- he even gets a love interest in Mickey Cohen mistress Grace Faraday (a miscast Emma Stone) -- but he more or less fits that bill.
Director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) adds other components to the mix that serve as a faint echo of The Untouchables, including an unlikely dweebish cop and sundry psychotic thugs. But scriptwriter Will Beall, adapting journalist Paul Lieberman's book of the same name, favours cheap, melodramatic thrills over The Untouchables' tone of mythic grandeur.
While the film delivers lots of violence and bullets, it is a trivial piece of work, written indifferently and performed with an eye to style over substance. A wealth of documentary extras doesn't make it any more impressive. 'Ö'Ö
WITH their two feature films, Father's Day and now Manborg, the local film collective Astron-6 demonstrates a better handle on cheesy '70s and '80s exploitation movies than Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did in their double homage Grindhouse.
It helps, perhaps, that director Steven Kostanski's Manborg is authentically dirt-cheap. It was shot among a group of friends in sundry basements and stolen locations, utilizing green screens, miniature sets, clever makeup and most important of all, an abiding love of genre.
The plot: After witnessing the combat death of his brother at the hands of vampiric superman Count Draculon, a soldier (Matthew Kennedy) is himself killed, only to be revived, a la RoboCop, as a part-man, part-machine warrior dubbed Manborg.
He joins with a handful of plucky rebels fighting Draculon's post-apocalyptic rule, including the dubbed, kung-fu-fighting #1 Man (Ludwig Lee), the fist-pumping glitter punk Justice (Conor Sweeney, hilarious) and his beautiful blond sister Mina (Meredith Sweeney). The group is promptly captured by The Baron (Jeremy Gillespie, also hilarious), a Hellraiser-esque mutant overlord who amusingly carries a torch for Mina.
For a movie depicting non-stop violence and dystopian doom, this sure feels like sunny fun at the movies.
The DVD includes some illuminating extras detailing how it all came together, with a montage of stop motion animation and a montage of visual effects, and a bloopers reel (or "Shenanigram Reel," as it's called) in which Kostanski reveals the stunning amount of work it took to put this project together, including repeatedly filming himself falling on a mattress for every time a thug/soldier/innocent bystander is cut down, which is frequently.
Stay for the howlingly funny faux Bio-Cop trailer after the movie. 'Ö'Ö'Ö1/2
The Impossible
PRODUCED in Spain and directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, The Impossible is set against the devastating tsunami that swept the Indian Ocean on Dec. 26, 2004. Contrary to the star-studded disaster-movie template, however, this is a determinedly intimate story, focusing on a single British family.
Maria (Naomi Watts), her husband Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons are set to enjoy a tropical Christmas vacation in Thailand. Henry is harbouring some worries about his job. Their eldest son Lucas (Tom Holland, excellent) is grumping about his two younger brothers, as eldest children will do.
But on the fateful morning, everyone's perspectives are in for a radical overhaul. While in the vicinity of the hotel pool, a rumbling noise is heard. The power goes off. And Maria watches in horror as trees in the direction of the oceanfront tumble down as if in the path of an unstoppable rolling monster.
That is precisely what the tsunami was, at least for Maria, who is swept under the water, like a rag doll in a tornado. When she surfaces, wounded but still breathing, only Lucas is with her. The two begin an impossible search for the rest of the family. And Lucas is forced to grow up quickly as he attempts to aid not only his mother, but other tourists attempting to find their own loved ones in the refugee camp-like chaos of a hospital inundated with an unthinkable number of patients.
The disaster killed nearly a quarter of a million people and the film has been taken to task in some quarters for emphasizing the story of a European family (Maria, her husband and sons were, in fact, Spanish) when the citizens of the afflicted countries suffered far worse casualties. That may be another movie for another time. This particular story achieves its own universality on the strength of these very specific characters.
From a technical standpoint, director Bayona (The Orphanage) has created a potent recreation of that disaster. But more importantly, he has created a stirring tale of one young man's tumultuous journey to empathy. And for that, one family --- this family -- is more than sufficient.
Documentary extras on the DVD include Realizing the Impossible, an illuminating look at how the film managed to duplicate the tsunami's devastation on a smallish budget. 'Ö'Ö'Ö1/2

Family, police seek answers in shooting
The murder of one town resident is cold, but certainly not forgotten, according to Tunica Police Chief Richard Veazey. And he along with the victim's family are certain that someone out there can piece together the details of Charles David Brown's death.
The body of Brown, 58, was discovered at a residence in the Town of Tunica on June 23, 2008. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim was transported to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis. Reportedly, the second victim alerted the police to be on the lookout for two black males responsible for the shootings.

some kind of groundcover
Whatever this is, it is everywhere in my yard. I am assuming it was some sort of invasive species that was planted by the previous owner in a garden bed and it has since taken over. any help in identifying it is greatly appreciated.
If it's everywhere it is not well behaved. Many violets produce cleistogamous buds which spew loads of seeds identical to the parent plant in addition to producing normal flowers that are open pollinated and produce seed.
I've been digging many five gallon buckets of Viola sororia var. priceana and still have more to dig up this year after several years of work., I don't want them in my flower beds or lawn.
I grow other species of Violas that are not problematic. The choice Viola pedata, for instance, does not produce cleistogamous buds.
Viola sororia ranks as one of my top weeds.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion about what they want to allow to grow in their own yard, and it's probably as good as fact that this particular violet is at the top of the list for being able to spread quite exuberantly in its' preferred conditions, but I would like to see unwanted natives get credit for being more than weeds (yep, another opinion.) This one makes golf balls roll inconsistently, and isn't usually too terribly bothered by weed'n'feed, hence its' reputation as a 'tough weed that invades turf' when in the grand scheme of things, the grass has invaded the native habitat of the violet.
For those who don't dislike this plant, Violets make a great ground cover under shrubs, a great light-traffic path through a wildish cottage garden. I cultivated them purposely when I lived in OH, especially around unmulched trees so the mower or trimmer didn't need to get right up to the trunk, possibly damaging it. If any show up in my yard here, they will be treated like welcome guests.
Just as easy to mow as grass in a lawn.
The sparse grass in the pic makes me wonder if that area may be too shady for grass to flourish. If so, and you don't want violets, something besides grass may be in order there. Is this under a tree? If so, you could cover the area with the trees' leaves when they fall (if deciduous,) that should be enough to finish killing the grass, and provide a shady bed to plant in. Leaves will not kill the violets though. If you don't want those, digging up the roots is necessary to evict them.

At least one hundred Victorian jobs are expected to be generated as the Malaysia-based global Tune Hotels opens its new 225-room hotel and operational headquarters in Melbourne later this year.
The new hotel, located on Swanston Street near the corner of Queensberry, is nearing completion and is expected to formally open in November.
According to the company's chief executive Mark Lancaster, the new Melbourne hotel is just the beginning of more Australia expansion projects. Also in the pipeline are 15 budget accommodations to be built nationwide in the next five years.
Tune Hotels is part of a consortium owned and controlled by Tune Group founder Tony Fernandes. The chain operates a total of 30 hotels in seven countries. Fernandes is also the CEO of budget airline Air Asia X which flies into some parts of Australia.
On Monday, Mr. Fernandes said they put up a regional office in Melbourne because they believe Australia is an important and viable location for their strategic investments.
"Like AirAsia, we'll just build as many as we can and see how far we can go," the CEO said.
Premier Dennis Napthine, meanwhile, gladly received the news of Tune Hotel's venture into the Australian market. He said more jobs can be created not just by the new hotel but also by the company's soon-to-open regional headquarters.
Mr. Napthine is currently leading a trade summit to attract at least 300 Victorian businesses to the region.
"There's every opportunity for the market to grow. This is a different segment of the market for tourism and travel," he said.
Many business observers liken Mr Fernandes' Tune Group to the Virgin Empire of British tycoon Richard Branson. They say it is the Asian counterpart of Mr. Branson's conglomerate, expanding from the airline business into hotel chain and insurance investments.
At present, Air Asia X flies only nine times a week into Melbourne. But Mr. Fernades disclosed plans to increase the number of flights to three or four times daily. Efforts are also underway to convince the Federal Government to allow direct flight services from Malaysia.
Mr. Fernandes likewise revealed that his group is keen on forming partnerships with Australia to expand his group's insurance business.
