CATEGORIES Animation, Classics, Comedy, Drama, Foreign Language, Gay & Lesbian, Independent, Exhibition, Columns, Cinematical Indie, The (Mostly) Indie Film Calendar, Features, Movies, Columns, CinematicalA bit of math tells me that after this weekend, 2008 will be halfway over. But here at The (Mostly) Indie Film Calendar, we prefer to think that 2008 has only halfway begun. There are still six months left to participate in the many cool film-related events that happen every week outside the nation's multiplexes! If you know of something coming up -- special screenings, retrospectives, mini-festivals, etc. -- send me a link! My e-mail is Eric.Snider (at) Weblogsinc (dot) com.
This week, even if WALL-E is what you've always Wanted, try to make room in your life for these...
- Gunnin' for That #1 Spot is a doc about the nation's top high school basketball players competing in a tournament -- and the film was directed by Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, so you know it's hip. Cinematical's Scott Weinberg gave it a rave review at Tribeca. It opens today in places where basketball is big, just in time for the NBA draft: New York, L.A., Phoenix, Portland, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C.
- Finding Amanda stars Matthew Broderick as a TV producer who goes to Las Vegas to convince his niece (Brittany Snow) to enter rehab. Our Erik Davis tried to find something nice to say about it at Tribeca but was unsuccessful. Opens today in NYC, L.A., Chicago, Boston, Philly, D.C., San Francisco, and Palm Desert, Calif.
After the jump, more indie theatrical releases, plus the city-by-city list of special events....
- The Last Mistress is the latest from self-indulgent French provocateur Catherine Breillat (Fat Girl, Anatomy of Hell). It stars Asia Argento, so there's that. Our Jeffrey Anderson said it's the best Breillat film he's seen when he reviewed it at the San Francisco fest. Opens today in New York City.
- Elsa & Fred is a Spanish comedy about old people falling in love, and it opens today in New York.
- Red Roses and Petrol shows Irish people doing what they always do in movies: gathering to mourn the death of their father, and drinking a lot. It's a comedy! Opens today in NYC, L.A., and Orange County.
- Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic comes to us from India, the latest Bollywood flick to get an under-the-radar release on a few dozen U.S. screens. The IMDB comments compare it to Mary Poppins and Nanny McPhee, so make what you will of that. You'll find it today all over New York, New Jersey, and California, as well as in Austin, Indianapolis, and a handful of other cities.
- Trumbo is a doc about Dalton Trumbo, the legendary screenwriter who was blacklisted during McCarthy era. Opens in New York and L.A. today.
Austin: Few people can throw a party like Willie Nelson, especially the Willie Nelson of the 1970s. Hence the concert film/party documentary Willie Nelson's 4th of July Celebration, filmed mid-decade and released in 1979. It's showing at the Alamo Drafthouse on Monday and Tuesday, so bring your best buds (tee-hee!) and enjoy.
Boston: Want to see a film that combines elements of American Westerns with Russian folklore? Sure you do. It's the cult favorite White Sun of the Desert (1970), and it's showing Sunday afternoon at the Coolidge Corner Theatre.
Chicago: There are two kinds of people in this world: those who would watch Commando or Dario Argento's Deep Red at midnight, and those who would watch Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis as a matinee. Whichever kind of person you are, the Music Box Theatre has you covered this weekend.
Denver: French youths on a synchronized swim team fall in love with each other in Water Lilies, playing at the Starz FilmCenter as part of the Denver Film Society's ongoing "Cinema Q" series. Gay, straight, bi, it doesn't matter -- everybody's French and everybody's hot!
Los Angeles: It's time for Mods 'n' Rockers, American Cinematheque's annual festival of movies about music, held at the Egyptian Theatre. Tonight you can catch a live concert by frequent Monty Python contributor Neil Innes; Saturday it's the Beatles films A Hard Day's Night and Wonderwall; Sunday is Love Story (a doc about the 1960s rocker Arthur Lee and his band, Love), and This Is Gary McFarland, a new doc about that cool cat. The fest continues into July; check the site for details.
Los Angeles: The French director Jacques Demy was known for his beautifully colorful films, and the Aero Theatre is screening a few of his best this weekend. Tonight is Bay of Angels and Model Shop, and Saturday is The Young Girls of Rochefort and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg -- one of the most visually lovely movies you'll ever see.
New York City: One of Japan's most inventive anime-niacs, Satoshi Kon, will be at the Walter Reade Theater this week to present and discuss his work. Screenings include Tokyo Godfathers, Paranoia Agent, Millennium Actress, and Paprika.
Portland, Ore.: The Northwest Film Center's Global Lens is a series of new foreign films that haven't played much in the U.S. so far, with screenings continuing through next week. Still to come: Opera Jawa (Indonesia), The Custodian (Argentina), Luxury Car (China), Let the Wind Blow (India), and more.
Salt Lake City: Actually, this is happening up in Morgan, Utah, northeast of the SLC. Morgan is where a certain terrible movie called Troll 2 was filmed, and there's a massive celebration this weekend in honor of this dubious claim to fame. The film itself will be screened, along with other Troll-releated movies, and many cast and crew members will be on hand for a discussion. The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin is behind it, as are the people at the movie's official site, Best Worst Movie, where you can go for more details.

True Love. Along with the visual story of the life of a sunflower, a love story intertwines through the pages as if there were a metaphoric relationship between love and the flower. The story line depicts the cycle of love and the growth of a sunflower which fluctuate over time.
This garden of love was planted for my wife in 2009. I intentionally did not tell her I was documenting the growth cycle by taking pictures periodically. When the book arrived in the mail she was quite surprised. I love you Babes.
All pictures were taken with my i-phone except the cover.

Hope is not a reliable solution for your aging parents.
Often time we feel so submerged in the stressors of life that we turn a blind eye or "hope for the best," in order to cope with our problems. When caring for our aging parents, this line of thinking can lead to turmoil and ultimately more crisis. Talking through your current scenario can elevate the fear, sadness and stress that often accompanies the strain of caring for aging parents. Every day families call us for guidance and professional advice because it can be helpful to have a third party look at the situation in an objective manner and lead them through the decision making process.
Peace of mind is a phone call away.
Email your request for an appointment so we can begin discussing and planning for the future needs of your aging parents.

The final whistle had blown. Florida State's players had carried Bobby Bowden off the field after the comeback in the Gator Bowl. And after what had been a cold and rainy morning, the sun was out. Tomahawk Chopping, FSU fans didn't want to leave the stadium as they cheered their coach one last time. It didn't matter that the 'Noles had played bad football for almost an entire decade, or that Florida had drubbed the 'Noles six straight times. Florida State fans just wanted to enjoy their moment.
But that moment wouldn't last forever. Florida State had its new coach, Jimbo Fisher. And many 'Nole fans didn't know what to think. Sure, Fisher had a national championship ring with LSU in 2003. Yes, he had somehow turned JaMarcus Russel into the number one overall draft choice. And after inheriting an offensive wasteland from Jeff Bowden in 2007, Fisher had turned the 'Noles offense into one of the best in the nation. Great quarterback coach. Very good offensive coordinator. Those qualities were not in dispute.
But when it came to running a program, many Florida State fans took a wait and see approach. Fans wondered how much control over the program Fisher had as head coach in waiting. "What will be different?," was the popular refrain. As it turns out, Fisher didn't have much control over anything but his offense. His efforts to bring Florida State into the 21st century were often dismissed as unnecessary or taken as an affront by those who wielded more power than Jimbo. Most fans didn't realize that despite being the Head-Coach-In-Waiting, Fisher was 4th in command on the coaching staff behind two long-time defensive assistants, and Bowden.
Just three months later, however, those casual fans realize just how little influence Fisher had over the program. They have to ask themselves why the changes Fisher and his staff are currently implementing weren't made before. From coaches working 90-hour weeks, to changing the times of the off-season conditioning program so that players wouldn't be tired in class, to almost tripling the available support staff to players, to evaluating potential recruits earlier and earlier, the list goes on an on. Every fan can see it. The differences are noticeable and real. Florida State had more than 51,000 fans at its Garnet & Gold Spring Game last weekend, more than doubling last year's turnout. I caught up with Sean Farrell, a Florida State alumnus of the 2006 to get his thoughts on Jimbo Fisher.
"Florida State is now relevant again without even having played a single game," Farrell said. "Fisher took over the most underachieving offense in the country and thanks to him, Florida State now has one of the best and most diverse offenses in the country. That he achieved those results under the umbrella of a dysfunctional leadership structure and with players that had not been properly developed under the previous offensive staff gives me hope that he and the staff he hired can help turn around the other side of the ball is well," Farrell said.
But the changes aren't only taking place on the field and around the football facility. The year's crop of recruits were born in 1993. They never saw Charlie Ward play a down for Florida State. They were only 5 or 6 years old when Chris Weinke bombed Mike Vick and Virginia Tech in the '99 Sugar Bowl. Their memories of Florida State are largely of a program getting trounced by Miami in the early part of the decade and by Florida in the latter. Coach Fisher has had to sell his own vision of Florida State to these kids. The Florida State of old can serve as an example of what the program is capable of at its peak, and Fisher has done an excellent job getting recruits to buy in. But as Fisher recently said on TV, he respects the past, but must do things his own way. One aspect of the change that can't be oversold is Fisher's masterful handling of the media during an obviously awkward situation. Fisher refused to discuss Bowden's situation with the media, though the way he was handcuffed had to have been frustrating. By repeating his admiration for coach Bowden, Fisher helped to win over the older crowd of Florida State fans and assured that they didn't look upon him as the man who drove Bowden out. Because of his media savvy, older 'Nole fans can view him solely as the coach brought in to help Florida State play to its potential as a program.
"As a 'Nole, all I wanted was a coach who had the ability and the drive to get Florida State back to where it should be," Farrell said. Judging by the response of the fans and the media, it seems FSU is on the right track. And with that perception comes renewed support. "Seeing the recruiting job Fisher and his staff did in the few short weeks following Coach Bowden's retirement [a top 6 recruiting class after the 'Noles were not in the top 40 before Bowden retired] inspired me and many of my fellow young alumni to become boosters. Many of the people I graduated with had not been motivated to give back to the program because we experienced our Florida State football during the 'lost decade' and weren't willing to support a program that wasn't willing to put forth a championship-caliber effort," said Farrell.
The changes Fisher has already made are certainly rubbing off on 'Nole fans. "Coach Fisher has brought the energy and the passion back to Florida State," Farrell said. There seems to be something new in Tallahassee: confidence. Farrell explained, "As fans, we're not sitting around waiting to see what will next go wrong with a dysfunctional, leaderless program. Instead, we're anxiously waiting to see what other new changes Fisher will bring. And with that renewed energy, many younger 'Noles who never saw good football during their time in Tallahassee have come rushing back to the program because they realize Florida State is again committed to winning and is is coached with the requisite ability and drive to put the fear back into the spear."
With a schedule that is sure to again be among the nation's most difficult, the season will have its own set of challenges for Fisher and the 'Noles. But as of now, FSU fans seem to be overwhelmingly appreciative of Jimbo Fisher and their confidence in him is growing by the day.

Many families are turning on the heat for the first time as we approach winter and that may be what sparked a fast-moving fire in Hartford's North End on Thursday morning.
The fire broke out just before 6 a.m. on Edgewood Street.
"She was like, 'wake up, there's a fire,'" resident Latifah Black said. "I look out the window and there are lights and popping sounds. I grabbed my kids, my sister and my brother and ran out the house."
Good thing, too. The massive fire tore through the top floor of the multi-family home, and was visible from our Hartford iCam.
"It was terrifying," she said. "My first intention was to grab my kids and forget everything else."
Black's family lives on the first floor of the home that caught fire. Officials said the second floor was vacant and the landlord and his family lived on the third floor.
Fire officials said when they arrived at the scene, the rear porches were engulfed in flames and the fire was spreading fast.
Everyone was able to make it out of the home safely, but two firefighters needed to be brought to a local hospital when debris from the roof fell on top of them.
In total, two families, seven adults and four children were displaced by the fire and are being assisted by the American Red Cross.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but officials said they are looking into the possibility that a space heater may have sparked the blaze.
"I don't know if that played a role," Hartford fire Capt. James McLoughlin said. "But I do know that that's something the fire marshal's office will take into consideration when determining the cause and origin of the fire."
The following tips on space heater safety were released by Hartford Fire Department:

I get it - BC is first & foremost a hockey school. Fair enough - if VT had multiple championships in hockey (or any other sport), that might take over for us, too.
I also get it that Boston is probably the #1 pro sports town in America. Period.
Nonetheless, I have a question for BC fans... what moves the needle, college sports-wise, for you guys besides hockey?
The rest of the ACC's football schools are excited about all of the bowl wins by ACC teams, current & future. I've always considered BC football to be relevant... prior to the Spaz reign of error, at least. Are you guys excited about the new look
How are BC fans feeling? Are you glad football season is over? Are you looking forward to the rest of basketball season?

Don't believe them.
When companies tell you they aren't hiring because of the recession, don't believe them. What they mean to say is that during a recession they are very, very discerning about who they hire and who they keep on their team. However, every company is always hiring as long as they believe they are getting an amazingly talented person who fits well within their culture.
Transferable skills are what will make you a person of interest in multiple industries. I define a skill as something you do with a high degree of competency and passion. A transferable skill is one that can be taken from one type of job and applied successfully in another job. An x-ray technician can't take his ability to read an x-ray into the hospitality industry, but he can take his ability to understand and solve complicated technical issues and use that skill to add great value to a company in the hospitality industry.
Your job is to know your skills, hone your skills, showcase your skills, and charge for your skills, in that order. Too often I've seen people charge for skills they plan on developing later. They might get through the door once with that approach, but they won't build a great career that way. Think of your skills as a new product your company wants to sell and eventually make a lot of money with. First, your company would work to understand what product would be of value to their customers. Then it would work to create and improve the product. Then it would let customers know that the product is available by showcasing it in a variety of ways. And then it would charge an appropriate amount in order to generate a profit for the business. This is the same four steps I want you to consider in accelerating your career.
Step One: Know Your Transferable Skills
The first step in accelerating your career is to understand what you do well and with passion. This has nothing to do with your current age, years of experience, title, income, height, gender, race, or anything else. When you strip away everything else, what you're left with is the value you bring to any situation and that is the combination of your strengths and your passions.
Write down your answers to this question, "What do I do well with passion?"
As I mentally scanned across the more than 150 executives I've personally coached, I've landed on one that I will use as my example in this article, even though the person's name was not Art. He identified his transferable skills as the following:
Art's Transferable Skills (what he did well with passion)
Step Two: Hone Your Transferable Skills
Once you know the transferable skills you bring to the party, the next step is to make each of them better. Just as Apple continually works to improve each new iteration of its iPhone and Disney/Pixar Animation Studios works to improve each new film it makes, you need to continually sharpen your transferable skills.
Art worked very hard over a number of years to improve his good listening skills in order to become a fantastic listener, his facilitating skills to become the person everyone wanted to facilitate meetings, and his public-speaking skills to be an even more polished speaker that more people could be comfortable listening to.
Step Three: Showcase Your Transferable Skills
Of course, having well-honed transferable skills will not help your career if no key decision-maker knows about them. You have to put these skills into motion where the right people can see you in order for them to consider you for new positions. Unfortunately, most of these opportunities come disguised in "no or low pay" options. Who cares? Think of them as "career accelerating" options. Just as a great new product needs to be nurtured in the marketplace until customers know about it, your skills have to be demonstrated over and over until the right people notice them.
Make a list of every opportunity you can think of to demonstrate your skills, both inside and outside of your current organization. The objective is to get people talking about your skills. Here are a dozen or so ways I've seen people demonstrate their skills:
Step Four: Charge for Your Transferable Skills
In the end, your transferable skills are of great value to a number of organizations. Don't take them lightly. You've spent years honing and showcasing these skills. They quite literally are your stock in trade. But don't toss them around lightly. Just as a great product deserves to demand a great price, you definitely will have earned the right to request a strong compensation package. If you don't take the value of what you bring to an organization seriously, how can you expect other people to do so?
You can deliver value at low prices during the showcasing stage, but when it comes down to the hiring stage you need to ask for what you honestly believe you're worth. Don't start low with the expectation your income will rise dramatically. If your new employer can get your transferable skills on a full-time basis at a low price, why will he or she double your salary in a short time? Your new boss knows the value he or she is receiving because you've already showcased it. Now you need to request the value you think you deserve in the form of compensation.
There they are. Four steps to leverage your transferable skills and accelerate your career.

Matthew Stafford has been down in Miami this week to promote, among other things, AXE Hair, and he took some time out of his busy schedule to catch up with Pride of Detroit to answer some of the questions you guys submitted for him a couple weeks ago. In the interview Stafford shared his thoughts on last season, the future, and Jim Schwartz, just to name a few of the topics covered. Check it out:
Pride of Detroit: How big is the difference - if there is one - between preparing for games in college and games in the NFL? What types of things do you now do in the NFL (i.e. watch more film, spend more time practicing, etc.) that you didn't do as much or at all in college?
Matthew Stafford: It's spending more time in the film room because there's no class. Pro practices are very similar to college. In the pros, it's especially important to put last week behind you and focus on the upcoming game.
POD: On a related note, how long does it take for a quarterback and a receiver to truly get on the same page and develop a rapport with one another? Is it just a matter of playing together long enough that it will naturally happen or can you go out on the field and throw passes in the offseason to speed up the process?
MS: Building a rapport is extremely important; every situation is different, but getting a chance to play with another receiver for multiple years is how you gain success in this league as an offense.
POD: In hindsight, do you think you came back from your shoulder injury too quickly in order to play on Thanksgiving, just four days after you injured it against Cleveland?
MS: I probably could have sat out that game, but as a competitor, I really wanted to be in there. Wish I could have played better.
POD: The Lions' Thanksgiving opponent this year is going to be either the Jets or Patriots. Would you rather play a friend in Mark Sanchez or one of the biggest names in football, Tom Brady, in the nationally televised game?
MS: Mark Sanchez because he's a buddy of mine and it'd be a lot of fun to play him on national TV on Thanksgiving.
POD: What would you attribute as the reason for your struggles with throwing interceptions in your rookie season? Was it more about inexperience, trying to do too much, not having enough time to throw the ball, or something else?
MS: It was just poor decision making and inexperience. I was not taking what the defense was giving me and trying to do too much.
POD: Which injury affected your play more - the shoulder or the knee? Also, how is the injured knee feeling right now and when do you think you will be back to 100% health?
MS: The knee injury affected my play more, and I'll be back 100%.
POD: Now that your rookie season is out of the way, what surprised you most about being an NFL quarterback and the process of adjusting to the NFL?
MS: It was a huge adjustment and life-changing event to move to a new city with new teammates and a new playbook.
POD: Although you have only been in the league for one season, which teams do you like playing against the most and what is it like playing against people you may have idolized growing up (i.e. Brett Favre)?
MS: It was crazy to play against Brett Favre; he came into the league when I was two years old.
POD: How do you hope to improve as a quarterback in the offseason, and do you have any individual or teams goals that you will set for the 2010 season?
MS: I hope to be more patient and efficient as a passer in 2010.
POD: Are there any players you played with or against in college that you would like to see the Lions draft this year?
MS: I played against Dez Bryant and I think he's a great receiver who would make a great addition to our team.
POD: Just how intense is Jim Schwartz? Is he always as intense as he looks on the sideline during games? Also, how is he different from Mark Richt, your head coach at Georgia?
MS: Schwartz is intense - not always, but when he needs to be. Coach Richt was a little more laid back than coach Schwartz.
POD: Aside from continuing to add more talent, what is one thing the Lions need to work on in the future to become a better football team?
MS: We need to stick together, build continuity, and keep the core group of players together and build on that.
POD: Tell us about the AXE Hair Action Challenge.
MS: Everyone loves Hair Action - you know, when a girl can't resist playing with a guy's hair - but a lot of guys aren't getting as much as they could be. I know first-hand that AXE Hair products are the first step to getting Hair Action, so I teamed up with AXE Hair to help guys everywhere get more Hair Action too. I'm challenging guys and girls to enter the Hair Action Challenge: February through March, I'm issuing a new challenge on AXE's Facebook page and people can upload photos and videos of their best Hair Action moments to win great prizes like tickets to major sporting events in 2010. Check out Facebook.com/AXE for videos of me getting Hair Action and take the challenge!
Rapid Fire:
POD: Suppose you had a time machine and could take any player from NFL history who is not currently a Lion and add him, in his prime, to your offense. Who would it be?
MS: I'd like to bring Barry Sanders back.
POD: What do you think your rating in Madden 11 should be?
POD: Outside of football, what is your favorite sport to watch or play?
MS: NBA Basketball to watch, golf to play
POD: What was your best throw of the 2009 season?
MS: The one to beat the Browns.
POD: What is your Super Bowl prediction?
MS: I think the Colts will pull it out.
Thanks to Matthew Stafford for doing the interview and thanks to the folks at AXE Hair for setting it up.

About HYUNDAI
Hyundai Motor Company is part of the giant conglomerate of the same name and based in South Korea. The company was founded in 1967 and launched the Cortina with the cooperation of Ford. In 1975 it launched the first Korean car, the Pony and this was exported to South America and Europe. By 1991, the company had developed its own engine which led the way to full-independence for car making.
Hyundai commenced selling cars in the US in 1986 and quickly attracted a following due to the affordability of the product. It further enhanced its reputation for value-for-money by adding a 10-year or 100,000 mile warranty in a concerted effort to revamp its image and become a world class car maker. Today, Hyundai competes worldwide with a wide range of models including saloons and SUV's with a reputation for quality and affordability.
Hyundai is now classed as one of the top 100 most valuable brands in the world.
A rim is the outer edge of a vehicle's wheel, and is used to hold the tire. A wheel or a rim can be decorative or simply functional. A quality used wheel or used rim is a great way to replace a rim on a vehicle.

So Im on Alan Hahn's twitter, gettin ready for the Rookie/Soph game, and what do I see?
Apparently, the tweet is gone. But I just saw we offered Gallo, Chandler, Curry , the 1st for AR, and Felton for Billups, Melo and fillers. So if this is true, and this deal goes through, it means Fields is the last man standing. Walsh was quoted as saying he pretty much went above what he wanted to. We would look like.....
Billups, Fields, Melo, Amare, Mozzie
TD, Bully, Shawne off the bench along with Denver's fillers.
I dunno, now that I look at it, I think after a nice cry I could deal with this. Anyone else?

I noticed that the Colorado Rockies released Brad Hawpe and he's now a free agent that can be signed by any team. Looking at the numbers, I think Colorado pulled the trigger a bit prematurely. He's less than one season removed from a 900 ops and put up nearly a 900 obs in 2008 as well. He's 31, so he's not real young, but he should have a number of years left in him as well. And I think he's a pretty good fit with the Cubs in that he's a right fielder and could step in for Fukudome. He should be inexpensive as well. (more after the Jump)
Admittedly, the primary problem that the Cubs have is trying to get rid of a few very well paid Veterans (yes, Alfonoso, I am looking in your direction.... Carlos... don't leave the room yet) but Hawpe would be a part of the solution in a more responsible fashion than some of the other options.

Ise is divided into two major shrine complexs, the Imperial
Shrine, which honors the emperor's ancestors, and the Toyouke Shrine, devoted
to agriculture. The Imperial Shrine is also called the Naiku, or Inner Shrine,
and is dedicated to the Sun-Goddess, Amaterasu Omikami, from whom the early
emperors claimed to descend. Members of the Japanese imperial family still
pay tribute to their Sun goddess ancestor at the Ise Naiku. The Toyaouke
Shrine, or Geku, Outer Shrine, is dedicated to Toyuke Okami, the "Abudant
Food Great Deity."

Dozens of General Electric employees from New York protested in Rutland Wednesday. They're trying save their jobs.
Nearly 40 workers gathered in front of the Paramount Theater where GE's president was speaking. The company recently announced plans to move its plant in Fort Edward, N.Y., to Clearwater, Fla.
If the plant shuts down about 200 people would lose their jobs. The union is planning several more protests during the 60-day bargaining period.
"We're going to fight, we're going to fight to try and save our jobs. We're going to give them every possible thing that we can, to give them -- to try and save our jobs -- every reason why we should keep them in Fort Edward," protestor Kim Little explained.
The next protest is scheduled for Oct. 18 at the GE Plant in Fort Edward.

Shades of a Blue Orphanage is an extension of their first album; storytelling, poetic lyrics, musical experimentation with blues, rock, folk and prog elements. There is no real formula to any of it; These tracks would be right at home in a live jam, and I can only imagine some of the great shows Lizzy must have put on in the early days. Listeners looking for classic Lizzy hard rock will be scratching their heads at hearing this album. Listeners without an appreciation for lyrical imagery and experimentation will be prone to dismiss what they don't understand as "awful". Shades is an original recording filled with verve and genuine emotion. It's too bad most modern music can't say the same thing.

Hello everyone! I made this Sunday night for dinner. Once you see the title most of you probably think...."this MUST be fattening!" ::sigh::
Good news fellow foodie peeps! It's not that evil after all!!! I used part skim mozzarella and low fat cottage cheese for the bulk of the cheese in this lasagna. I did use 3 ounces of a shredded Italian cheese blend for the Alfredo sauce. Otherwise the Alfredo sauce was made with skim milk and only two tablespoons of flour. {you may use a jarred alfredo sauce to cut back on time, but they are typically very heavy}
Also, if you want to be even more healthy, you can make this without the chicken and make it strictly vegetarian! bam.....le done. super duper healthy cubed!
I will say that this lasagna is to.die.for. like woah! This is definitely one that I will be making again for the family. My hubby loved it....
The original recipe called for fresh spinach, I did replace with mushrooms. You may replace some ingredients with other veggies you prefer! I also replaced feta cheese with low fat cottage cheese to cut back on the fat.
Ciao! happy eating my tomato friends! ~b
Adapted from: Carrie's Experimental Kitchen
- 1 box of lasagna noodles
- 5 cups of cooked chicken chopped up
- 1 whole zucchini chopped
- 2 plum tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 cup of red onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 cups part skim mozzarella shredded
- 3 ounces of Italian Cheese Blend shredded (ie. asiago, mozzarella or provolone blend)
- 1-10 ounce container of light cottage cheese
- 2 cups of fresh mushrooms
- 3 cups of prepared Alfredo sauce (I used a homemade recipe. reference below)
- 6 thickly cut slices of provolone cheese
- 2 tspns. parsley
1. Cook your lasagna noodles in a large pot in boiling water for approximately 8 minutes or until soft but not too soft. Drain the noodles and then place them in a boil, mix approximately 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil into the noodles so they don't stick together.
2. While your lasagna noodles are cooking preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Wash your veggies and then chop your plum tomatoes, zuchinni and red onion. Add your mushrooms and all your veggies to a large mixing bowl.
3. Chop up your chicken and place it in the bowl with your veggies. To that same bowl add the light cottage cheese (the entire container), add in the 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and the minced garlic.
4. Now make your Alfredo Sauce as follows: In a large non stick frying pan melt 2 tblspns of butter over medium heat now add in 2 tblspns of all purpose flour. SLOWLY add in 3 cups of {1 or 2 % milk}. The sauce will slowly thicken. Remove the sauce from the heat add in a pinch of nutmeg, 1 tsp of oregano, 3 ounces of Italian Cheese Mix, about two teaspoons of salt {you may add more or less if need be}, pepper to taste. Stir all the ingredients together until smooth. Set aside for assembling your lasagna.
5. Now begin assembling your lasagna. In a 9 x 13 inch pan using a soup ladle add one large scoop of your alfredo sauce to the bottom of your pan. Then add a layer of the your noodles then add on top of your noodles your veggie/chicken/cheese mixture. On top of that add another ladle full of alfredo sauce. Top with noodles and then continue to layer until you are close to the top of the pan. Use all of the veggie/chicken/cheese mixture. Then top with remaining alfredo sauce, making sure not to overflow the pan as you still have to add provolone on the top.
6. Do not add another layer of noodles on top of of the veggie/chicken/cheese mixture! Top the last layer of the veggie chicken mixture with six thick slices of provolone cheese along the top of it. On top of the provolone slices sprinkle with dried parsley.
7. Once your lasagna is assembled, loosely cover the top with aluminum foil. Bake in your 425 degree preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil then bake for an additional 12-15 minutes or until bubbly and brown on top. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then serve.
Details: Prep Time: 20 Minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Total Time: 65 minutes Yield: 8-9 servings of lasagna, feeds approximately 7-10 adults.

Tensions continue to mount in the United States over the situation in Syria.
President Barack Obama announced on Saturday that he wants the U.S. to take military action against Syria, but will seek Congressional authorization for the use of force.
This announcement comes in response to the reported use of chemical weapons by the Bashar Al-Assad regime against civilians, in an attack that killed more than a thousand civilians last week.
Speaking outside the White House this weekend, President Obama said he has the authority to act on his own when it comes to U.S. intervention, but believes it is important for the country to have a debate.
"I will seek authorization for the use of force from the American people's representatives in congress," the President said, saying federal leaders would "schedule a debate and a vote as soon as congress comes back into session."
Meanwhile, In front of the White House on Saturday, there were vocal protests for and against U.S. intervention in the Syrian civil war.
A recent poll shows American opinion evenly divided on that issue. But, 80 percent of those surveyed said they wanted the president to seek Congressional approval before taking military action.
Our local lawmakers say they're heading to Washington over the next week to weigh in on the issue.
The House goes back into session after the August recess on September 9, and that's when lawmakers tell us they expect to actually vote on whether or not to take action in Syria.
Many of our Congressmen say they're happy President Obama is sending the issue to them to make the decision.
"At the moment, I think the American people are unconvinced of the wisdom of the move that is apparently being contemplated. And it's important the president lay out the rationale for whatever he's contemplating to the American people and also to Congress," Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa) told us.
In a written statement Saturday, Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Illinois) also said the president is right to include Congress.
Now lawmakers must debate the best response - if any.
"I'm a firm believe whether it has to do with military action or whether it has to do with any governmental action you have to start with the end in mind. So if we do something with missiles in Syria, what's going to be the next step?" Rep. Bustos said.
But, not all of our local lawmakers agree with the president's decision.
"Part of my concern with what the president announced today is I really think the point he decided to come to congress - I don't think he needs authorization from Congress to do what he's talking about doing under the War Powers Act. But, the second he made the decision to come to Congress, he should have called us back right now," Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Illinois) said, when we reached him by phone this weekend.
Kinzinger and Loebsack both tell us they fear what Assad might do between now and their September 9 meeting.
Even with his intention to seek approval from congress, President Obama has made it clear that the U.S. military is ready to go, and his order to strike in Syria could come at any time.
Rep. Kinzinger tells us he will vote to take action against Syria.
Meanwhile, Representatives Loebsack and Bustos both tell us they're not making any decisions just yet.

Want to Learn Adobe CS6 Inside and Out? Get $900 Worth of Training Videos for Just $100
Learning a new piece of software can be a daunting task, especially when that software may be nothing like any program you've used before. Even if you're an expert, getting a well-rounded walk-through of a suite of programs can make you better and more efficient — and you might even learn a thing or two. For a limited time, you can get a complete set of training videos for the entire Adobe CS6 suite for only $100. Click through to learn more and check out some sample lessons.
Here are just a few of the examples you'll find in the training series. First up are some for Premiere Pro:
Here's one for After Effects:
There are over a thousand lessons contained within the training series, and if you've never used any of the programs before, it's going to take you right from the most basic functions all the way to some of the more advanced capabilities of the suite. As you can see from the above tutorials, it's more than just a training program for amateurs, some of the techniques are pretty advanced. While Jeff Sengstack, the instructor in these courses, is using a PC, the Mac version of the software should be similar enough to follow along.
It seems like you will need to create an account with Udemy to use the courses, but the positive to that is they will be viewable anywhere and on almost any platform, as you can download the Udemy app to watch any of the courses on a mobile device. If you want to get in on the action, it's going to be $100, but this deal is only going to last for the next 12 days, and after that, it goes back to its regular pricing.
StackSocial also has a great deal going where for the next 4 days they are offering a bundle of 8 free Mac apps including IconBox 2, Ondesoft Screen Capture for Mac, VidConvert, Image Smith, Wallpaper Wizard, ClipBuddy, Type Fu, and Sweetie. Some of them are already inexpensive programs as it is, but free is free, so if you can utilize any of them, be sure to head on over to StackSocial.
Do you have any tutorials for CS6 that you can recommend? Have you used any of the free apps above? Let us know in the comments.
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Ryan Farner on 01.26.13 @ 10:24PM
When CS6 premier released I personally learned a ton from watching the creativecow.net tutorials on YouTube. I'm not sure if they are available on there website in full anymore. They are still on YouTube if you search craetivecow CS6.
How do they compare to Lynda.com?
DIYFilmSchool.net on 01.27.13 @ 9:40AM
Not bad. I'm not going to be investing in CS6 any time soon, so I won't be taking advantage of this deal, but hopefully others will.
Caleb on 01.27.13 @ 8:52PM
Just bought this. Me and my company are all switching over to cs6. The thing is great! Just use an app on your iPad and iPhone and learn. So many lessons its ridiculous. I highly suggest you get these!
David Sharp on 01.28.13 @ 12:29PM
I have to agree with Farner, software updates way to quickly to justify paying to relearn it all the time.
on top of creative cow
there is also free stuff from
with a little patience and a little digging you can find what you need to know for free. And the Satisfaction… Priceless :)
Madp on 02.7.13 @ 7:06PM
Awesome… These are much better than anything that's out there.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Colon cancer is one of the leading killers in the United States affecting 143,000 people a year. It is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer.
Kentucky sees the highest incidence of colon cancer in the nation, according to the Colon Cancer Prevention Project. In an effort to save lives, the state is now offering free colon cancer screenings through June 2014.
The Kentucky Colon Cancer Screening Program was awarded $1 million by the state and another $1 million by the Kentucky Cancer Foundation. The funding has allowed for 715 stool tests and 45 colonoscopies.
So far, about 170 people living in Louisville have been screened since last year. For at least 40 of those who participated, doctors were able to detect polyps in time.
The screening program is intended for low income, uninsured Kentuckians between the ages of 50 and 64. To qualify, you must also be uninsured, a US citizens or qualified alien, legal resident of Kentucky and be at an income level at or below 250 % of federal poverty level.
The screenings include using FIT (a test that screens stool for blood) and colonoscopies. For more information about the program, contact a participating health department below.
Current patients of Family Health Center - Portland can contact the clinic for more information. Call 502-772-8572 and ask for Tabitha Davis. All other individuals can call Shawnee Christian Health Care Center at 502-778-0001 or Colon Cancer Prevention Project at 502-290-0288.

The plan is still early in the making. as of now, it calls for a $1 million facility.
Park officials don't want to ask for local tax money, so they'll apply for grants.

This book is spectacular! Very descriptive and passionate!
very good plot and characters. in my opinion, the best book in the series.
It was a good book! But I believe that Bella could have lived her life even without Edward. A lot of exaggeration in this saga!

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn't know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
(Permanently etched in my mind...)
If loving becomes painful then its not love anymore, then its time to let go. Remember that love is kind and just
All this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending

Lovely errors! Pass those 3D-Glasses over the error above, and you should see hidden text saying "You have a service that is disabled". If only!
Hop on to the target, find the patch in the ConfigMgr CACHE and manually run it. The Wizard will prompt you to select the instances to patch. Click on any Instances listed and it'll tell you what is wrong, that in this case, the service is disabled. Quit the patch when you've spotted the culprit.
To install it manually:
How much impact is this to us? Well that depends, as you know everything in life, even stuff as sublime as "Should you have Milk in your tea?" really depends on your tastes and preferences, and in this case you may have a taste for disabling SQL Instances. If you do, then those clients will play dumb when it comes to applying the patch.
The KB Article does indeed talk about Disabled Services:
Q. Will the updates be applied to disabled instances of SQL Server 2000, MSDE 2000, and SQL Server 2005? A. No. Only those instances of SQL Server 2000, MSDE 2000, and SQL Server 2005 that do not have a Startup type of disabled will be updated by the installer. For more information on disabled services, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 953740.
I just whipped this SQL Query up to identify ConfigMgr clients out there that meet the following:

Pre-Sales Have Begun for the Kessler CineDrive, an All-In-One Motion Control System
If you've ever wondered how moving timelapse, complicated visual effects, and stop motion animation are executed, more often than not the filmmakers are using a motion control system of some kind. Usually these systems have been prohibitively expensive at the higher-end, but we're now starting to get more affordable options that are just as fully featured. Kessler, who is well-known for their sliders, has now moved up to a fully electronic motion control head called the CineDrive. Check out the walk-through video below.
Here are some photos of the CineDrive software for Windows and iOS:
Pre-sales in the U.S. were just launched but have sold out immediately (since they were limited to 25 units). There will be another batch of units available in 1-3 months. Here's what's included with the system for a starting price of $6,000:
- (1) CineDrive Brain with AC (Wall) Power Cord
- (1) Pan & Tilt Head Kit
- (1) Slider Motor
- (1) Slider Motor Control Module
- Appropriate Cables and Hardware
- Native kOS software for Windows 7 and 8 OS (iOS version of kOS software available soon, with Android and MacOS versions available in the near future)
The system is just the control head, and does not include the slider, so if you didn't already own one, you would need to purchase that as well — though the added cost is much, much cheaper than if you purchased the system separately.
If you have no use for a system like this, it will obviously look very expensive, but for those who do visual effects or complicated stop motion, it's at the lower end for this sort of setup.
What do you guys think?

Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
It's really nice but right now it's out of my price range. That being said though I'm very interested if there would be a use for these to execute pre-programed moves for live broadcast of a concert or similar event.
Once availability improves, though, think about what this should do to rental pricing. Renting a motion control head just became a lot cheaper. Very few people are going to personally own one, but for companies, studios, and rental houses…
Very true, and I will for sure be considering renting one when available. And honestly I could defiantly see the benefit in investing in purchasing one when the time comes, have to finish with my college studies first though!
I have not used a motorized slider. I wonder how quickly it could complete the same move. It would be very useful for slow motion shots if it can make precise repeatable fast movements.

This looks excellent. Motion control for 6-10k? Fantatstic.
Wouldn't own, would rent.

Anyone know what the camera weight limit is?

Little bit noisy for studio use :(
Harry on 09.11.12 @ 3:44AM
This is GREAT. I've been working on a similar project for myself. I think they got it almost right. However, for $7,000, I can buy this: http://www.mrmoco.com/products/heads/SFH-30/
Most motion control requires it to be open source. This system limits you to buying only Kessler motors and gear. You want an open system that outputs step and direction so that you can interface it to any drive system you have or may get or make in the future. Dragonframe.com has a much better interface and is coming out with a realtime system for under $2000.

Can you nominate a Helston and Lizard area 'champion of the environment'
10:00am Sunday 26th January 2014 in News
It is that time of year again as people are to nominate a group or person who has been working for the environment in the Helston and Lizard Peninsula area.
The annual John Mackay Award, organised by campaign group the Lizard Peninsula Friends of the Earth, celebrates people who have made "a positive environmental impact" in the widest sense, consisting of a perpetual trophy carved from Cornish oak and a small gift. It is the result of a bequest from the late Porkellis resident John Mackay and the scheme is now in its eleventh year. It recognises individuals, groups and businesses and has very wide-reaching criteria.
Last year the trophy and prize went to the Meneage Street greengrocers and delicatessen Fruit and Veg 4 U for their support of local growers and providing a competitively priced in-town alternative to supermarket shopping.
Previous winners include the Sustainable Trust for its work protecting and enhancing the natural and built environment, farmers' market coordinator Joanne Schofield, Helston Museum and Helston Community College Windy Webbers' wind turbine project.
To make a nomination for this year's award email firstname.lastname@example.com or write to Lizard Peninsula Friends of the Earth, c/o Ardgowan, Sithney, Helston, TR13 0RN by Saturday, March 15.

Piers Morgan may be ignorant, but he is not totally brain-dead. He is at the
very least (very most) smart enough to realize that in just a few short years he no longer be able to practice his "liberalism" in the country that he was born. However, despite that very feral understanding, I doubt very seriously that he has the mental capacity to comprehend that it is liberal stupidity, progressive appeasement, and anti-gun fanaticism that has forced him to leave, and it is the lack of it that has lured him to America.
The BBC has reported that Sharia law in UK is now 'unavoidable.' It is already there unofficially, but has not totally usurped as the official law of the land. But it is clear that it is coming soon.
As of now the Sharia is being enforced by lawless thugs, who are uninhibited and unafraid due to the absence of the people's right to keep and bear arms. Liberals and homosexuals are being forced to flee to America so that they can practice their unconstrained lifestyles in safety. The safety that is only available because of our Judeo-Christian constitution, and our right to arm ourselves to ward off tyranny.
"What is wrong with your face mate? Don't you know this is a Muslim area?
Muslims enforce Sharia in London, Gay man targeted
Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs) For years now, Leftists and assorted "anti-racists" have been denying the existence of these Sharia patrols. These sharia law enforcement gangs have been roaming the U.K for a while now; it's only recently that they have decided to record themselves. (Thanks to Golem). Observe a gay man in the capital of ultra-tolerant progressive inclusive multicultural interfaith Britain being driven out of a "muslim" area…

The BBC reported on Monday (August 1, 2011) that a Chinese professor has discovered the most massive fruiting body of any fungus yet documented, growing on the underside of a tree in Hainan Province, China. He and his team described their finding in the journal Fungal Biology. The length of the fungus is 10 meters (33 feet). It is 80 centimeters (31 inches) wide and weighs half a metric tonne (about half a ton).

A recently suspended employee of the Forrest County Sheriff's Department has taken action by filing a lawsuit against several high ranking officers with the department.
English professor Dr. David Lowery was
recognized Thursday as the 2012 Jones County Junior College Humanities Teacher
of the Year.
Each year the Mississippi Humanities
Council recognizes the contributions of an instructor at each of the state's
colleges and universities.
Based on his accomplishments, Lowery was
nominated for the Humanities Teacher Award by JCJC's administrators. As an
award recipient, not only was Lowery recognized, but he also had to deliver a
public lecture in which he chose to speak about Shakespeare.
"I consider it an honor and a privilege
to be the recipient of this award because I know that there are several people
within my department who are extremely deserving, but I am honored beyond
belief to be the recipient," said Lowery.
Along with the Humanities Teacher Award, Lowery also received a $500
cash award.
