How to Prepare for Summer
Edited by 606, Glutted, Rob S, Jack Herrick and 29 others
In order to have a productive and enjoyable summer, you must first prepare. What you need to do is plan vacations if you wish to take any, but if you plan to stay in your hometown, all you need to do is relax. Summer is the best time of the year, but still, if you plan to have fun, you just need to follow a few steps.
1Buy the things you'll need like sun screen or season passes to a theme park. Buy cool clothes and accessories that are IN this season so you will look totally stylish. If you're on a tight budget then stay close to home.Ad
2Keep it simple. You will feel very lazy during the summer, so don't wear a lot of makeup, but still, take care of yourself. Wear some waterproof mascara, full coverage foundation(be sure to take it off at night),add a small amount of blush to give you a shimmering glow, and don't forget lip gloss (you'll want your lip gloss that blends with your lips).
3Sign yearbooks. All you need to say is, "I hope you have a good summer and I hope to see you next year!" Then sign your first and last name. If you don't want to say much to a person you don't like all you need to do is just sign your first name.
4Take pictures! Buy a camera. It's good to make a photo album so you can visit memories whenever you want.
5Get into some classes for the summer. Don't waste this season watching TV every day. Get into crafts classes, swimming classes or even dancing classes. Anything that can keep you from spending hours watching TV.
6Start working on your body. At a local gym you can play badminton, volleyball, Frisbee, ping pong etc. Those are some favorites. If you aren't active much, a walk in the park will do you good. Maybe start eating healthier so you will feel your best when you wear that bikini. Rock climbing or sport climbing is a great thing to do during the summer but the rock climbing joints are hard to find so you're lucky if your town offers one!
7Get a tan. Be careful, you don't want to end up looking like a carrot. Just buy a nice spray tan from a local drugstore, but never apply it with your hands.
8Rent a beach house. There's nothing better than relaxing at the beach watching the ocean.
9Work on your confidence. There's nothing better than someone walking with his/her head straight up feeling her best. Plus, guys/girls will stop to check you out.
10Make lots of plans--ex. invite over friends, get a week to go on vacation, make plans with significant other, etc.Ad
- Keep your hygiene up! Wear deodorant, Take daily showers, Wear body mist(spray), and lotion up
- Have fun, after all it's your summer. Live it like you want to.
- If you can, invite a friend or two over everyday you want to stay in touch with them as the summer goes on if not call each other.
- Don't watch TV all summer but go ahead and watch the early morning news for your weather.
- Wear an SPF30 sunscreen to protect yourself from harsh sun rays. Reapply it every 2-3 hours.
- Plan out everything you will do each day.
- If you live in a tourist city, then you have a big advantage to stay home and visit some hot vacation spots.
- Always wear sunscreen or you might get melanoma or worse.
- Do not over-tan or you'll look disastrous.
- Don't ever tan without sunblock. You wouldn't want to increase your chance of skin cancer!
- Do not spend too much money on new items. For all you know that nice outfit you saw earlier is marked down half-price somewhere else.
- Do not get obsessed with losing weight.
- Don't over party.

37.5cl bottle: This one pours a clear ruby color. Pouring it fast does give it a bit of a red-tinged head. The head dies down quickly, even there was a bit of carbonation. Some lacing down the glass. The aroma has both sweet and sour notes of cherries. The taste is a bit tart, but a hair lighter: the cherries dont overpower the taste. A nice Kriek.

We pour a brew of deep mahogany-maroon. It holds a one and a half finger head of faded pink, with massive bubbles floating about the top of the liquid. There is thick lacing left as it goes. Due to the darkness in color there is a haze to the look, but no outright sediment is noted. Carbonation looks to be medium. The aroma is obvious with red cherry. There are bright inclusions of sour candy smarties, standard malts, and some puckering acetaldehydes. The first sip reveals a tart, seemingly artificial, cherry flavoring. As in the nose, it is quite souring, and very reminiscent of powdery, drying candies. The middle disposes of much of the bitter, sour affects, and continues smoothly through with sweeter malts and a faint tanginess of cherry and green apple. We finish on notes of staler fruit, with more grainy malts to wash down the last traces of bitterness. The aftertaste breathes with traces of grain, which here present with more adjuncts than elsewhere in the swill, and that persistent cherry flavoring, with granules of white sugary sweetness. The body is medium and the carbonation borders on high. There is a slight creaminess about the brew, and the faint initial coating quickly disappears with grapey astringency. The abv is within range and the beer drinks somewhere in the middle.
Overall, what we enjoyed most about this brew was the tangy bite to the flavor. As the style tends to be much sweeter than the average brew, it can become overwhelming if there is nothing to cut it down a bit. Here there is a bite of tart fruit, which does just this, and takes this beer a step up from tolerable.

This kriek pours with a nice looking whitish pink head and has a ruby red and clear body.
Aromas produced are of course cherry and ketchup like smell.
In the taste the cherry doesn't over dominate the beer. The actual lambic is easily perceptible.
Overall this is a decent lambic, but I've had better. This needs a bit more cherry in it, because the bacterial ingredients of the lambic come through too strong.

375 ml corked bottle, champagne style, bought in Prague. Label says: P.H. Wandenstock Belle-Vue Kriek Lambic. ABV is 5.1%. Brewed by Interbrew Belgium, distributed in the Czech Republic by Staropramen. Beautiful red colour, large pink foamy head. Lovely aroma of sour cherries. Flavour is of course sour cherries too, initially sweet, with a hint of hops. Not very complex, and the finish is surprisingly short.

Well, I guess its not my style or something...
Pours a fading gold to reddish sorta tone with little head which makes it look rather not beerish off from the start. The smell is flamboyantly fruity: the cherry is dominating while the malt lags behind.
And so does the flavour apply: it tastes more like juice than beer. Soury a bit but too sweet with the actual beer-like perception hanging out in the background. Spoils the mouthfeel a bit how it thus seem rather like bad juice or something.
Not my style i insist.

25cl bottle purchased in Bourganeuf, France. The appearance is very kriek, dark red with a frothy, quickly gone pink head. The smell? Drumroll please. Cherries. Sweet sugary notes and a twinge of bubblegum in the background. The taste has a malt up front, followed quickly by cherries. Not too sweet, this one is a nice balance between the cloying sweetness and the sour lambic tastes of others I've had. The mouthfeel is a bit thin but has a nice oiliness to hold it together. The drinkability is very good for a fruit lambic. The balanced flavor means you don't head into a diabetic coma after one. All in all, I really like this one, much better than ones I've had for much higher prices. It reminds me of bing cherry cider, but with just enough malt to let you know its beer, after all.

La Bécasse Kriek (Original) interestingly enough comes in a brown crown capped 25cL bottle featuring the elusive snipe or woodcock. If I'm not mistaken, this is simply Belle-Vue Kriek bottled for the rest of the European market. Unlike the corked version, this one isn't bottle conditioned. This Kriek is best served chilled (40-45°F) from a tulip or sparkling wine flute. This stylish Kriek pours up with lots of sparkle that creates plenty of pinkish Belgian lace that billows above a bright cherry reddish-golden body. Very nice! The sub par aroma has some decent tart/cordial cherry notes along with a musty/earthy cellar character, but lacks the typical Payottenland complexity. Unfortunately, this example also shows some oxidation along with a distracting metallic character. The flavor starts off expectly fruity with plenty of sweet candied (cherry cough drops) cherry character that gives into a welcomed wheat berry graininess along with a hint of marzipan nuttiness. There's just enough acidity, bitterness and alcohol in the finish to keep this one from being overly cloying. This imported cherry lambic from InBev is rather one dimensional and much what I expected for a mass-marketed overly processed product. Certainly worth a try for sour beer fans!

Tasted a couple of bottles in the UK over weekend Sept 2-5 2005, bottles purchased by my host in France in August. A roundabout way of drinking a Belgian Lambic... Brewed by Interbrew 5.1% ABV.
Poured a nice tan/red colour, with a respectable white head.
Smell was not as fruity as the taste, with some maltiness coming through. Taste is quite cherry tang, as expected. The balance of cherry and tartness was quite nice.
Mouthfeel was quite dry and overall I found this a very drinkable offering.
I much preferred this to the Bellevue Kriek that I have had a couple of times, being less sweet.

Poured out a nice ruby red color, with a slight pink head.
Aroma of cherry, with some sour overtones.
flavor of a sour cherry, with some sweetness.
mouthfeel of a light to medium body, nice carbonation lending to the long head retention and lacing.
Overall this is a nice beer, with the acknowledgement that you like fruit beer/lambic. It is a drinkable beer under the stated circumstances.

Great beer. Most interesting fruity beverage that actually maintains its beer characteristics, and is not just an alco-malt. Had it in France...Vive La Bécasse! Thick foamy head that lingers. Smell of cherries, tastes the same with some clean malt. No bitterness to speak of. One of Belgium's best. Can't seem to find it here though..dang!

Poured from a 25 cl litter bottle.
Appearance: Dark red with thin white head.
Smell: Really strange, red fruit but also herbal hints, I am not sure I like it.
Taste: Sour Cherries on the front with a bubbly midde and a hoppy finish. The transition between the middle and hops is very strange and feels slightly off.
Mouthfeel: Very dry, light bodied.
Drinkability: I suspect that either you love it or you hate it, I didn't particularly like it.

My brother (ungespundet) sent me this from France via our mother for my wife. She likes the Kriek beers that are almost cherry syrup with a bit of carbonation, after a few drinks she let me finish it and the other bottle.
Not usually a Lambic guy, and actually have never finished one until this Kriek by La Becasse.
To start, this is actually a beer and taste like a beer. The hint of cherries is a nice touch that adds to a mild malty flavor with a head (when properly poured) that lasted the ten minutes it took me to consume the beer.
Smell of course was of cherries, but there is a bit of malt in the background. Feels good in the mouth with a medium/light body and no discernable aftertaste.
I could drink this beer. Wow, a drinkable lambic, that would probably go well with a light fish on the grill. Use one bottle as marinade and drink the rest.

This is the first lambic beer I've had, so I don't have much to base this review on, but I rather enjoy this beer. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised when it actually tasted like beer rather than a fruity malt beverage. This beer is very common in the stores in Paris (my wife and I are here for 6 weeks) and we decided to get a 6pack to try it out. It pours a light red/pinkish with not much head to be said of. It smells mostly sour cherries, very fresh. It tastes like beer, only with a very cherry overtone. The cherry comes out very strong in the taste and is very refreshing on a hot day. This beer is very drinkable with only 5% abv and it's so very fresh that it cools you off well after being out and about all day. I am very excited to try more lambics after having this starter.

Speightstowns finish 1st & 2nd in Cigar Mlle
Monday, November 29, 2010
General News
When trainer Barclay Tagg talked owner Charles Fipke out of running Jersey Town in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, it was with the idea that the Grade 1 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile would come up an easier spot.
Much to Tagg's surprise, Saturday's $250,000 Cigar Mile came up extremely tough, with four horses exiting Breeders' Cup races. In the end, however, Jersey Town proved tougher prevailing by a head over Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Haynesfield despite drifting out in the stretch. It was one-half length back to Girolamo in third.
It was the first stakes win of any kind for Jersey Town, a 4-year-old Kentucky-bred son of Speightstown out of the Grade 1 winner Jersey Girl.
For Tagg and Fipke, it was their second victory in the Cigar Mile, having won it in 2008 with Tale of Ekati, who got placed first by the stewards. Jersey Town, who finished second to Bribon in the Bold Ruler, was the longest shot on the board at 34-1, returning $71.50. He ran a mile in 1:34.53. Bribon, who was the 3-1 favorite in the Cigar Mile, finished fourth.
Jersey Town broke on top, but was reined by Cornelio Velasquez to sit third as Vineyard Haven ran a quarter in 22.69 seconds and a half-mile in 45.27 while being pressed by Haynesfield, under Javier Castellano. Turning into the stretch, Haynesfield took the lead from Vineyard Haven, but Jersey Town was in hot pursuit.
At the eighth pole it looked like Jersey Town was going to go by Haynesfield easily, but the New York-bred Haynesfield was game along the rail while Jersey Town began to drift out. Despite that drifting, Jersey Town prevailed.
"The last three-sixteenths I had a lot of horse," Velasquez said. "I asked him and my horse he passed that other horse. Today, he wanted to win. [Haynesfield] run a big race too."
Said Castellano of Haynesfield, "He fought all the way to the wire, he didn't want to get beat. Unfortunately, the other horse was a little better."
It was a long road to Grade 1 glory for Jersey Town, who won his first start for a claiming price of $25,000 in March 2009. After racing with modest success in New Jersey for Tagg, Jersey Town was sent out west to run in the British Columbia Derby at Hastings Park, where he finished second for trainer Barbara Heads.
Upon returning to Tagg, Jersey Town suffered a hind leg fracture that required some time off. Fipke then elected to send the horse west again, where he won an allowance race and finished second in the Longacres Mile for trainer Tim McCanna.
When Fipke sent the horse back to Tagg, he wanted the trainer to run him in a prep race and then Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. Tagg talked him out of that.
"I said, 'Let's go to the Cigar Mile. It'd be a lot easier and it's still a Grade 1,' and they were thinking of trying to make a stallion out of him," said Tagg, who ran the horse in the Kelso and Bold Ruler. "He was all for it, then it came up so tough I thought, 'Boy, we made a mistake here.' "
It was not a mistake at all.
"He's all business - he just goes out there with his game face on everyday and does his job, no fooling around," Tagg said. "He does everything the way you like a horse to do it."
Tagg was unsure whether Fipke would retire Jersey Town or bring him back to race next year.

There are times when writing comes easy, and times it's a fight. I know my limits. I can't focus on multiple things at the same time. I have to pick and choose my focus. November was writing focused. I was energized by the challenge to write a novel in a month. Writing came easy during that 30 day window. Then the holidays hit, life hit. Family, work, sports....there's always something to fill the time. Before I know it months have passed and what do I have to show for it? Not much except tired eyes and no motivation.
I have managed to add to a novel I'd started before my November writing frenzy. This is a good thing, but for some reason I'm tired of that story. I'm tempted to just throw it out and forget it. But I've done that before and usually I regret it.
Hopefully Spring, the season of new beginnings, will find me with a renewed passion....a spark to create. Winter has been too long. It's time to awaken the senses, the imagination and strive forward with fortitude.
Onward I go...
I feel validated reading
I feel validated reading your post. Choosing my focus is usually a toss up between writing or painting. I can't seem to do both at the same time as my creative energy is usually exhausted focusing on a single creative outlet. And I don't write professionally! Still I get frustrated when writing for myself seems blocked.
Reading your post, I am not alone... thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you for commenting. And you are not alone! I struggle for balance every day. I have so many things I desire to do. Sometimes I find myself paralyzed and doing nothing because I can't do all I'd like to! Writing brings me to life. I'm ready to live again. Coming back to RedRoom has sparked the fire within.

text: To be fair, my gran was born in Glasgow and moved to London when she was 21. I'm pretty sure when asked she'd say she was from London but born in Glasgow. Also, the fact that none of the characters in the movie, save one, notices it isacorrect testament to the ignorance of Americans to accents from abroad. Pierce Brosnan's character does notice it, and correctly questions him on it in one scene.

Funny folks Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Andy Samberg, Maya Rudolf, and Chris Rock are teaming up with a whole grab bag of celebrity wildcards. Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner, Hunger Games hottie Alexander Ludwig, Steve Buscemi, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Salma Hayek are just a few of the other outrageous cast members that Gretzky will be working side-by-side with in Grown Ups 2. We think she will fit right in to this zany list.

Turn Up The Zings! Chris Rock Burns Chris Brown While On The Today Show
First we get a Chris Brown/Cher mini slider, now Chris Rock is starting some delicious New York strip steak drama? Good thing we're omnivores because there is beef as far as the eye can see! This morning when Today host Matt Lauer said in passing, "We're hoping the same kind of weather hits us tomorrow when we've got Chris Brown out on the plaza," guest Rock couldn't help but joke, "Did you say you hope the same weather hits you? I hope some weather doesn't smack us upside the head." Chris Rock can't help it! He's a comedian. He knows you can't let perfectly good beef go to waste. Our deepest apologies to Elmo though; no tiny puppets needed to hear that.
Now that we think about it, Rock's comments actually pale in comparison to how hard Cher zinged Chris earlier this week following rumors that Brown took to Twitter and declared that the Just Like Jesse James singer "needs a beating" for criticizing President Obama. The gossip later turned out to be false, but when a fan tweeted, "Cher, how do you feel about Chris Brown saying he was gonna hit you." Cher replied, "I don't know. Is that something he's particularly good at?" Someone get the grill going and break out the hamburger buns! Looks like we're going to have beef all summer long!

Brad Pitt, Kim Kardashian And More Play It Casual At Cannes
While many stars have put their most glam foot forward at the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival, some have decided to keep it casual for their photocalls with simple threads. Brad Pitt suited up with a simple olive green jacket and pant and a plain white v-neck T. (Pitt and others later put on their black-tie best for the premiere of Killing Them Softly, but we're glad he got to relax a little first. Also, no bow tie in the world could make his long hair and beard look dressed up.) Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton arrived in stylish, yet comfy ensembles — Kim in an all-black pant jumper and Paris in a colorful shirt and black leggings. Of course, every lady that took the casual route in the past few days was still seen with 5-inch stilettos. Since many stars showed up and showed out at Cannes opening day and continued to wow us throughout the weekend, it's nice to see a few celebs in breezy getups befitting the Mediterranean setting of the film fest.

Magic Mike To Stacee Jaxx: Who Will Be Summer's Funniest (And Sexiest) Men?
As The Avengers kick off summer movie season today with a bang or two (or 100), it's easy enough to forget that blockbusters aren't just about men in tights, showing off their massive CGI effects. On some of those sweltering days, you don't want to step into a theater to worry about the fate of the world; you want to laugh your ass off. We've already looked at the ladies doing their part to make the season hilarious, and now it's time for us to decide which of these sexy funnymen will be the sexiest and funniest at the multiplex from May through August.
This year, we have some double threats — the guys who will make us laugh and fan ourselves: Tom Cruise radiates sex as rock god Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages, Matthew McConaughey sells it as strip-club owner Dallas in Magic Mike, and Mark Wahlberg hides it beneath a manchild exterior as John, the guy who tries to let go of his talking teddy bear in Ted. There are also the funny guys we crush on, no matter how goofy their characters, like Russell Brand as the narrator of Rock of Ages and Andy Samberg as Adam Sandler's unfortunate son in That's My Boy. There are the comedians we'd kind of like to take home to mom — Ed Norton and Jason Schwartzman in Moonrise Kingdom, Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill in Neighborhood Watch, Steve Carell in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Chris Rock in What to Expect When You're Expecting, and Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell in The Campaign. And then there are the bad boys we'd keep secret about, Vince Vaughn in Neighborhood Watch and Sacha Baron Cohen in The Dictator.

Chris Rock Wants Melissa McCarthy For His "Jerry Springer" Bride In New Movie
Valentine's Day is less than two weeks away, and love is in the air. Love of a good paternity-test joke, that is. While attending the Sundance premiere of his new dramedy Two Days in New York last week, Chris Rock admitted that he is currently making the moves on Bridesmaids breakout Melissa McCarthy. Comedically speaking, of course. "I'm trying to romance her," the comedian revealed, explaining that he intends to snag McCarthy as the other half of the rowdy, dysfunctional "Jerry Springer couple" at the center of his new untitled script. Wait a minute … this rom-com sounds like it might actually have both romance and comedy in it! We knew it had to happen sometime! Steve Wilkos can cameo as their best man!
According to the L.A. Times, Rock has apparently "made some inroads" into wooing McCarthy for the part. A quick look at her IMDB page, however, suggests McCarthy's dance card is filling up pretty fast, so Chris needs to lock it down now. Honestly, we're not too worried about these two. We believe in a Rock/McCarthy team-up movie more than we believe in the existence of romantic love. Besides, is there anything more dreamy than the prospect of a choreographed two-person "You Are Not the Father" dance? We didn't think so.

Sundance 2012: Stars Show Off Their Winter Best
"I am such a weird snow bunny," MADtv alum Arden Myrin told VH1 News at Sundance over the weekend. "I have 40,000 outfit changes. I've got like 14 hats."
Arden is bunny-hopping from her small-screen role in Suburgatory to two films appearing at Sundance, Wrong (about a man's search for his lost dog) and Bachelorette (starring Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Rebel Wilson and James Marsden). And she's one of many actors, musicians and filmmakers relishing the chance to don their best knits, boots, scarves, furs and puffy coats in Park City this week. We like seeing them all bundled up like the rest of us who don't reside in sunny California. Everyone from Coco to Robert Redford to Chris Rock to Skylar Grey ditched their typical red-carpet style for cozier gear. Check out the gallery below for a whole bunch of stars wearing their winter best. And come back soon for more photos from the film festival.

What To Expect When You're Expecting Expects Pregnancy To Make You Insane
While you might think pregnancy is just an awesome nine-month-long vacation during which you can eat pickles and peanut butter and whatever other gross combination of foods you want without people giving you the side-eye, the What To Expect When You're Expecting trailer teaches us a very different lesson: namely, that having a baby in your uterus makes you lose your damn mind. Of course, Elizabeth Banks' prenatal crack up isn't the only topic covered by what appears to be a very informative film. From Dad-sthma to spontaneous dance routines to magical pregnancy unicorns, we broke down the important baby times lessons offered in the trailer for you. Because if you're already pregnant, you know there is no way your ravaged mind can make sense of it on it's own!
TONY Awards Red Carpet: The Older Ladies Do It Better
What was in the water when these ladies were growing up? 'Cause we'll have some! The 2011 TONY Awards took place yesterday at the Beacon Theatre in New York City and we're in awe of the slew of all the "older" actresses that walked the carpet. We're not being derogatory about age at all. We genuinely think that the so called young Hollywood lot could learn a thing or two from ladies like Edie Falco (aged 47), Ellen Barkin (57), Brooke Shields (46) and Marg Helgenberger (52) because they looked incredible. Christie Brinkley looked pretty damn fine too, but we didn't like the strapless blue gown she wore. And God Bless her soul, we love you Whoopi Goldberg, but what the hell were you wearing? She had some bizarre hat and an outfit that looked like it was made from cheap curtains on, which you'll able to see in our gallery below.
A word about the gentlemen during the evening. Could Neil Patrick Harris (he was the host of the show) and partner David Burtka get any more handsome? Al Pacino could have taken a couple of styling tips considering he wore a weird headband, but his girlfriend, gorgeous Lucila Sola (who is 40 years younger than him) didn't seem to mind. Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Rock, Matthew Broderick, Don Cheadle all suited up too, so take a look at the pictures and tell us what you think.

Vintage: | 2011 |
Wine Type: | Red Wine |
Varietal: | Mourvèdre |
Appellation: | Contra Costa County |
Harvest Date: | September 11 |
Acid: | .66g/100ml |
Aging: | 16 months |
Residual Sugar: | .40% |
Alcohol %: | 15.5% |
The 100-plus-year-old Small Berry Mourvèdre vineyard is a small block that consistently produces one of our most complex and concentrated Mourvèdre wines. The vines were originally planted on their own roots, which make this one of California's most historic vineyards. We dry-farm these ancient, head-pruned vines continuing a practice that was employed by the Italian and Portuguese immigrants who planted this vineyard. The wine exemplifies the unique character of the varietal while showcasing the elegant flavors that are contributed by the phylloxera resistant sand soils - described as our singular Oakley terroir. The proximity of this vineyard to Eucalyptus trees also contributes to Small Berry's unique signature.
Grapes were harvested at high natural sugar levels and treated gently in the cellar to emphasize the explosive fruit characteristics of the vineyard block. The fruit was almost entirely de-stemmed and lightly crushed, with a large proportion of whole berries remaining in the must. Fermentation occurred at moderate temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine was pressed after going dry and then racked to another settling tank before being put down to approximately 35% new French oak for 16 months.
This vineyard has always shown intense concentration of flavors due, in part, to the miniscule yields that we receive. Tobacco, plum, and eucalyptus-mint dominate this wine and offers plenty of flesh and a firm balanced structure of acid and fine-grained tannins.
Pairs well with hearty country food such as turkey dinners, pork roasts and grilled lamb.

This story is loosely base on a video clip I saw on Youtube. This story does contain strong language. Both praises and criticisms are both welcomed. Enjoy!
Okay, Kris said after Mary finished playing Chopins Raindrops on the grand piano. You have improved a lot since last time, but you are still missing some spots.
What spots Im missing? Mary said, pressing her lip slightly.
Youre still pressing too hard on the piano, Kris replied. Here, let me show you what Im talking about.
Kris motioned Mary to scoot over and demonstrated how Mary was playing.
Oh, Mary said as she could feel her ears getting warm. I really play like that?
Yes, Kris nodded.
Mary thought for a second. Dad says I play just fine.
Kris snorted a little. Thats easy for your Dad to say. But what about your Mom?
I see your point, Mary sighed. But Im not really a great pianist like she is.
Dont worry, Kris patted Marys leg in comfort.Your skills will get better in time. You just have to practice.
I will practice, Mary hugged Kris and stood up to leave. Do you want me to get Mom?
"Yeah, that will be nice, Kris couldnt help but add, Since I dont feel like going upstairs.
Mary laughed softly while heading towards the door.Ill be right back.
Kris gets up from the bench, pulls out a book from her bag, and sits on the lounge chair.
NowI can have some peace and quiet,
she thought, putting her feet on the small table.
Kris was deeply into her book when she heard a familiar male voice saying loudly, Hello? Hello?
Kris grimaced
Hes here. Early
Will walks into the music room and notices Kris reading.
Hey, get your feet off the table! he exclaimed as Kris sighed. God, if Dad finds out Im here this early, Im toasted!
Will takes off his white lab coat, exposing his hunter green scrubs. While he lays his lap coat on the chair near the door, Will notices that Kris was still ignoring him. And when the hell do you read encyclopedias?
Kris looks up from her book, putting her feet down on the floor. What does it look like Im reading?She asked in an annoyed tone while holding up her book.
Let me see, Will said as he walked towards Kris and snatches the book from Kris hands. History of Russian Culture. Fuckin communist, drunken bastards! He gives the book back to Kris and sits onthe piano bench.
I had a completely shitty day, I- Will notices that Kris was not paying attention to him. You know that ignoring someone while theyre talking is rude right? He put his hands on his hips.
Go to hell!
Kris thought.
I am listening. I can multi-task,remember?
Of course, Will replied nonchalantly, crossing his legs. Son of a bitch! Felix can arrive to work whenever the fuck he wants and the boss lets him! He even gets a raise and I dont? Will runs his hands through his hair.
Maybe if you get your ass off of Facebook and take your job seriously, this wouldnt happen as often, Kris suggested sarcastically. And maybe you will get the raised that you want so bad.
Hey mama, you dontknow how my job works, so you dont what youre talking about! Will exclaimed.
Kris didnt sayanything but sighed.
Anyways, Will continued,putting his hands on his hips. Felix doesnt do the damn job right either! He takes the wrong patients blood and gives it to the wrong technician! Manypeople, like me, are bitchinabout him, but that Dominican chick doesnt believe us! I swear to God, I think Felix is fucking the boss-chick. No wonder hes getting all the raises while the rest of us dont receive jack shit
"Please shut up!"
Kris though as she rolled her eyes.
"Complaining won't get you nowhere!"
And the goddamn patients were so goddamn grumpy more than usual today! Will said, raising his voice a bit. One by one, the patients will ask can you get me a cup of water? Can you get me a cup of coffee? Can you give me toast? Can you give me
This is freakin insane!
Kris thought.
He keeps going and going! I got to figure something out to make him get quiet.
Can you give me this? Can you give me that? Will waves his hands in frustration. You fucking idiots! What the hell you think this place is? This is a clinic, not a restaurant for Gods sakes!
Will gets out his cigarette box from his pants pocket and sighs.
Kris thought in relief.
Unfortunately for Kris,Will resumed back to talking.
Its good to home,Will glances at Kris. You look lovely today.
You just now notice me? Kris asked.
Will shrugged. I was pissed! I dont notice small irreverent shit when Im pissed. He takes out a cigarette from the cigarette box. How come you dont call me? I gave you my number.
Kris rolled her eyes.How many times I have to tell you? Im not interested-
Kris and Will were interrupted by Mary and Donna entering the room. Looking at their facial expressions, Kris had a gut feeling that both Mary and Donna overheard her forced conversation with Will.
After smoking a couple of puffs, Will looks up and notices Mary and Donna. Seeing their facial expressions, he quickly puts his cigarette box (with some cigarettes fallingout of the box) inside his pocket and tries to explain.
Mom, he hesitated.I, uh, was blowing off some steam. The job didnt like-
Donna puts her hand up.Shut up William! She notices Wills cigarettes. How many times I told you not to smoke in this house?"
What? I didnt knowthat you made up that rule-
William, please leave!
Will sighed and stood up to leave. Yes maam.
After Will left, Krisfelt that it was now her time to explain. Mrs. Holt, I didnt know that
Will would behere this early. If I had known-
"Dont worry about it Kristina, Donna said. William can be a handful.

Sneak Peek: Jennifer's Body
Let's just put it this way: if Diablo Cody's new movie, Jennifer's Body is half as good as Juno, it will be a-maz-ing. The (NSFW-ish) trailer hit the web last night, and I can't believe I have to wait until September 18th to see the rest.
Megan Fox as a possessed cheerleader who feeds on high school boys? Perfect. (Her little girl voice makes her bad-girl role even creepier.) Amanda Seyfried as the geeky best friend who tries to put a stop to Fox's antics? Awesome. (It's nice to see her playing a something other than the good girl.) The OC's Adam Brody as a guyliner-wearing singer? Random, but ok. (I mean, where has he been?) Plus, the soundtrack--with Panic at the Disco, Cobra Starship and Dashboard Confession--is an emo teen's dream.
What do you think of the Jennifer's Body trailer? Are you psyched to see Megan Fox in something other than Transformers? Will you check it out this fall?

Signed two-year deal with Miramax Films to write, produce and direct features |
Helmed and scripted the "Strange Brew" segment of "Four Rooms" |
Became fascinated with the films of Wim Wenders; sent the filmmaker dozens of letters, some of which were as long as 60 pages, as well as audiocassettes of music she liked; Wenders only wrote back a few times, but the two began to communicate by telephone |
Returned to junior college for another two years after the birth of her second daughter (dates approximate) |
Upon her return to the USA, Anders finally began to pick up the pieces of her life. Despite not having a high school diploma, she attended junior college and later the UCLA film school, managing to stick to her dreams when a second daughter came along. Enchanted with Wim Wenders' films, the welfare mother so deluged the filmmaker with correspondence that he gave her a job as a production assistant on "Paris, Texas" (1984). Afterwards, with fellow UCLA colleagues Dean Lent (who also worked as a production assistant on "Paris, Texas") and then-lover Kurt Voss, Anders made her feature co-writing and co-directing debut with the cult hit "Border Radio" (1988), a black-and-white 16mm study of the L.A. punk scene, revealing the "artistic" sensibilities of the trio who expressed their difficulties getting the film made in its final credit - "Many Curses on: Those Who Tried To Thwart Us". Anders reteamed with Lent (this time as cinematographer) for her first solo effort, "Gas Food Lodging" (1992), drawing from her own personal life to tell the compelling, multilevel story of a single mother (Brooke Adams) and her two teenage daughters (Fairuza Balk and Ione Skye).
Set in the milieu of a southwestern hardscrabble life, "Gas Food and Lodging" was tour de force filmmaking, its tone of poignant hope amidst disappointment starkly convincing. Like Anders' 1994 follow-up, "Mi Vida Loca/My Crazy Life", which depicted girl gangs in the Echo Park neighborhood of L.A. where she lived, it showcased her ability to capture on camera a genuineness that made audiences feel they were watching real people, not actors. In "Mi Vida Loca", they actually were watching real Latina gang members sprinkled in with the actors (some of whom were Spanish soap opera stars). Anders had won their trust over time ("At first . . . they thought I was a cop") by approaching them without judgment, and in addition to appearing in the film, they worked closely with the director, advising her on script changes and characterizations and serving as consultants on costumes, language, music and location. The strength of both films lies in the emotionally rich portrayals of women battling the odds (i.e., dead-end jobs, vanishing men) to bond with one another, but "Mi Vida Loca", in its attempt to develop too many characters, provided a too frequently shifting point-of-view that worked to undermine the picture's power.
Despite the unwieldy episodic structure, Anders had successfully captured the frustrations, social rituals and violence affecting her "Girlz 'N the Hood". She also got to work out some of her own frustrations by killing-off former love-who-broke-her-heart John Taylor (guitarist of Duran Duran) in the guise of the fictional character El Duran (Taylor, who had actually remained friends with the director, survived to provide the music for "Mi Vida Loca" and headline 1999's "Sugar Town"). When one of her extras/consultants died of a drug overdose shortly after filming wrapped, Anders began caring for the woman's young son (eventually adopting him) and dedicated the film to the deceased, establishing a scholarship fund in her name through a community service group in Echo Park, to which she donated the proceeds from the movie's Los Angeles premiere. Anders next directed the "Strange Brew" episode of the omnibus "Four Rooms" (1995), which starred Madonna as a lesbian witch and Alicia Witt as her love-slave. The embarrassing compilation wasted the talents of all involved (including the directors of the other segments--Quentin Tarantino, Alexandre Rockwell and Robert Rodriguez), with the sole point of interest being "Which one is the worst?"
"Grace of My Heart" (1996), a project teaming her with Martin Scorsese (executive producer) and his then-girlfriend Illeana Douglas (as a Carole King-like songwriter-singer), was Anders' first attempt at a period piece. Set against the backdrop of the pop music world centered around NYC's Brill Building during the 50s and 60s, it featured some pleasant sound-alike songs from the period, plus one showstopper, "God Give Me Strength", which inaugurated the collaboration between Elvis Costello and pop veteran Burt Bacharach. Anders may have compromised this fabulous idea by again trying to cover too much, but the predictable structure of scene-song-scene-song also exacerbated the film's superficiality. Fortunately, the score and a wonderful performance by John Turturro as a Jewish record company owner helped save what must be considered Anders-lite compared to her previous work. "Sugar Time" then reunited her with ex-beaux Voss (as co-director and co-writer) and Taylor making his feature debut in the art-imitating-life role of a rock musician suffering through a mid-life crisis. An amusing, polished look at L.A.'s rock'n'roll subculture, it did not, however, mark a return to the hard-hitting substance of either "Gas Food Lodging" or "Mi Vida Loca".

Notes |
Received a Nicholl Fellowship in screenwriting from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science in 1986. |
According to Elle (July 1996), Anders once "did phone sex to finance a project and could do it again." |
"When I was a teen-ager, everybody told me being an unwed mother was going to ruin my life. And in fact it was my opportunity." --Allison Anders to The New York Times, July 26, 1992. |
"There's a certain kind of feminist who doesn't like my stuff. And there's enough of 'em to to, you know, bum me out. But I always felt like feminism was about empowering yourself by knowing yourself. And that means not just exploring work, but also relationships and desire. But for some reason, there's this attitude--which is changing a little bit--that if you're looking for intimacy with a man, that's like selling out your feminism, which I think is so bizarre. In Hollywood, you can do two types of women characters: the objectified female, who's always saying something smart, or the butch female. I feel like we encountered that a couple times making this film ('Grace of My Heart')--people wanted Denise to behave more like a guy. You know, being bitter and aggressive, as though somehow that's strength that's very male." --Allison Anders in Time Out New York, September 11-18, 1996. |
"The first record I bought was 'Johnny Get Angry' by Joanie Sommers, a good start for a feminist: 'I want a brave man/I want a cave man' . . . I learned to write female characters from Paul McCartney's songwriting. I'm amazed at how he gets into women's minds: a young woman going her own way in 'She's Leaving Home', or a lonely old woman in 'Eleanor Rigby'--and 'For No One', the most incredible example, where the guy being dumped chooses to get inside her feelings, writing the song from her point of view. My other favourites were The Shangri-Las: those amazing narrative songs about rebellious teenagers. I love the voiceover on 'I Can Never Go Home Any More', it's so melodramatic, pure Douglas Sirk. I'd study the sleeves of my favourite records for hours and wonder who these people (Barry-Greenwich, Goffin-King) were. When Carole King's 'Tapestry' came out, you could suddenly connect her to the writer of 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow'." --Anders to Sight and Sound, April 1997. |

A recent study suggests that losing weight for obese adults is much, much harder than most realize. NY1's Erin Billups filed the following report.
Every year, Robert Destefano tried new diets, hoping that each would be the one that stuck.
"Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach," he says. "I wanted to lose 250 pounds, 300 pounds. I could never get down to that weight loss."
He would lose 100 pounds. Then, once off the diet, he would gain it all back. He was 528 pounds at his heaviest.
Researcher Christopher Ochner of the New York Obesity Research Center at St. Luke's Hospital says that despite what many may think, it has little to do with motivation and self-control.
"Once an individual has been obese for a certain period of time, essentially, biology has completely taken over," Ochner says. "There are biological mechanisms that will adamantly prevent weight loss, even if it's healthy."
In his study published in the Journal of Physiology and Behavior, Ochner and his colleagues looked at the results of 155 studies dealing with different areas of weight loss and obesity, and found that obesity triggers a biological response, a relic of mankind's fight to prevent starvation.
"The body actually adapts to that higher body weight and then will kick in these same exact biological mechanisms and defend that higher body weight," Ochner says.
Ochner says that the only proven long-term defense against weight re-gain, so far, is bariatric surgery.
Destefano's girlfriend, Stefanie, lost 200 pounds after a gastric bypass, inspiring him to undergo a similar procedure a year ago. So far, he's lost 228 pounds, and says that it feels as if his brain was essentially re-booted.
"I was in love with steak. Now, I don't even really want to look at it," he says. "Mentally, your mind changes."
Ochner says that a big hurdle to combating the obesity epidemic is the social stigma associated with the disease.
"It's no longer just a matter of moving more and eating less," he says. "We need biological approaches to addressing this, and that's what we don't have. Without that, they are truly powerless."
Ochner says that more rigorous prevention of obesity, particularly in children, is needed, as well as more investment into obesity intervention research.

I have this in Black and I LOVE it! Black helps make it look more chic I wear it to my sales office, to the gym, cozying up at home - EVERYwhere! And although it is not form hugging, I bought it one size smaller and it looked a lot better but still fit my long arms. I get complements on it all the time :) Wear with tight bottoms or a pencil skirt to show off that you do have a tiny body underneath, or as a jacket. Looking for more ways to wear it and think I will try one picture I saw with the belt!
It is so comfortable you should not knock it til you try it!! Promise you won't be disappointed! Happy shopping ladies! - May 13, 2010 at 10:24 AM

Dark colour, and deeply fruited, with masses of blackberry, spicy oak and a splash of geranium; the palate is generous and rugged at this early stage, needing time to fully integrate, but the concentration is undeniable; time is needed. (2/ 2012)
Refined, showing finesse, this plays its black currant and blackberry fruit against hints of mineral and herb. The finish is wrapped in fine tannins. Best from 2015 through 2020. (6/ 2013)
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon shows forward black currant, cedar and clove aromas over hints of forest floor and bay leaf. Medium-bodied with good amount of muscular fruit, crisp acid, medium to firm levels of grainy tannins and a long, relatively straightforward finish. Drink it to 2020+. (2/ 2013)

This was yet another game where the
Raiders were not favored to win. Marcel Reece led the pregame speech
with a blue bat with gold letters stating 'Bring The Wood'. They did -
and so did Woodson, but I'll get to that.
The RaiderNation was
ready for this game. The Black Hole especially. @BHOAK510 made a
custom banner to welcome Manti Teo to the O.co.
Anyway, back to the game... I'm gonna do this kinda sorta play by play as I know you may not have seen the game.
Chargers took the field to start. Usama Young picked off Rivers on
their first possession (almost fumbled too). Raider ball. First play of
the Raiders possession Terrelle Pryor threw a 44 yard TD to Streater.
Perfect pass by Pryor and the Raiders go up 7-0.
The Raiders 2nd
possession had great play calling by Olson. 13 plays, 88 yards and 8:08
off the clock that resulted in a Denarius Moore TD. 14-0 Raiders.
At this point, Pryor was 8-8 with 105 yards to 5 different receivers and 2 TDs. These are like 'Rivers' numbers'. :-)
Chargers had a long drive but the Raiders had a huge goal line stand on
4th & goal. Kevin Burnett stood up Danny Woodhead with Nick Roach
on cleanup. Still 14-0 Raiders.
Raiders had to punt but it was
muffed and recovered by Chimdi Chekwa. The penalty put the ball on the
SD37 yard line. Raiders couldn't get the TD so settled for a field goal
(which was handled and placed very well by King). 17-0 Raiders.
get the ball back with more than 2 minutes to go, but Lamar Houston
sacks Rivers right before the 2 minute warning. They couldn't score.
The Raiders held the Chargers to zero points in the first half of a game
for the first time since 9/28/2008 (ironically against the Raiders).
Remains 17-0 Raiders.
Raiders get the ball in the 2nd half and
Ford gets 30 yards on a nice return. First play a 35 yard pass to Moore
and a pass interference call adds 15 yards. Then Pryor had a great TD
pass to Moore that was negated when he was the first to touch after
stepping out of bounds. This was the beginning of the shift of momentum
in the game.
SD was driving down the field and after a Burnett
sack, Tracy Porter blocked the FG which was recovered by SD and
advanced. But WAIT. You can't advance the ball right? Well,
apparently you can when it's recovered behind the line of scrimmage.
First down SD.
DJ Hayden got burned for a TD, but WAIT,
it was reversed because the receiver only had one foot down in the end
zone and a knee on the sideline. Raiders had another incredible goal
line stance. SD kicks field goal. 17-3 Raiders.
Raiders went 3
& out and gave the ball back to SD. But Woodson had a fumble
recovery returned for a TD!! 24-3 Raiders. Woodson tied for most
defensive TDs in history (13 with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper).
gets the ball back and after Fluker body slams Sio Moore for a personal
foul, Woodson gets burned like toast by Brown and Woodhead runs in for a
TD. 24-10 Raiders.
Raiders go 3 and out. At this point, I'm
panicking. Prevent has killed us time and time again over the last
decade+. They do it again. San Diego drives down field and scores a TD
24-17 Raiders.
Raiders get the ball back and Gurode steps on
Pryor's foot for 2nd time in the game. TP almost fumbles in Raider
territory but he somehow recovers. Raiders just couldn't get time off
the clock. Still 24-17 Raiders.
Crazy sequence follows - punt
fielded at 45 yard line of Chargers, but then Illegal Formation by SD and late
hit by Jenkins had 15 yard penalty negated by the offensive penalty and the
Raiders get the ball back. WTF? Okay with me... A phantom pass interference by Rivera was
called (these refs were trying to call against us, I swear) but it was
answered by a great first down by Brice Butler. Jano hit 50 yard FG
(off the dirt!) and it's 27-17 Raiders with 4:29 left.
passed a long one to the 20 yard line with a little over 3 mins left.
Raiders held at the goal like glue. DJ Hayden with the INT - he got beat
but he never gave up and he gets his first INT.
Raiders go 3 and out, Woodson intercepts again but this time to save the game and the Raiders get the win.
Pryor ended 18-23 for 221 yds and 2TDs.
And Josh Freeman signs with Vikings.

Watch Tom Hiddleston Do a Monologue From Shakespeare's 'Henry V' and Be Jealous of How Good He Is
May 10, 2012 by Lance Carter
Great. I already have enough man-crushes that my girlfriend may start questioning me.
After watching Tom Hiddleston perform this speech from Henry V though, I have to add another one to my list.
Hiddleston, who is tearing it up as Loki in The Avengers, recently appeared on the talk show Hoppus on Music to plug the film. When the host asked him to perform a monologue from Shakespeare's Henry V, which he just wrapped, he jumped up, got in front of a camera and went to town.
"Once more under the breach, dear friends…."

I worked at Widmeyer Communications full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Widmeyer does a great job of recruiting very bright, interesting and passionate people. Account staff are great team players and provide great client service. The company culture supports relationship and trust building among staff and does not support selfishness, back-biting or drama.
Cons – Employee retention seems to be a challenge, as it is easy to burn out.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
