I combined two tees in the style of Alabama Chanin. This means a lot of reverse applique and hand stitching to enhance the shapes. The main sewing was done by machine, decorative stitching was done by hand.
I have loaded up a lot of photos that I took throughout the project. They may help you understand the technique. There's a photo of my loose sketch on the top layer (the painted shapes were sewn wider than the sketch, and the sketched part was cut off), and there's a photo of the reverse insides, also of the back of the garment, which was left plain.

Thank you! No, I didn't take a course. I started doing this style about 10 yrs ago, but Ms Chanin went a step further, she set up classes and published a book. There are a lot of nice projects out there, if you look into my recent favorites, there's a linen dress with reverse applique method.

Historical Traveler Reviews Monumental MovieLand Orlando
Basic but adequate
The motel is situated directly opposite wet 'n wild and location is very good for all international drive activities, sea-world & universal studios. Shuttle bus service to universal provided, travel to Disney would have to be arranged independently. Hotel staff coped well with 'Hurricane Charley' and provided special restaurant facility for dining during the hurricane! Breakfast is also excellent value at $5 per adult and free for children.
Rooms are well equpped, decor satisfcatory. However the hotel accepts guests with pets and we suffered from flea bites due to the previous occupancy of a pet. Hotel staff were not sympathetic and the matter was unresolved for 3 days.
Pool is safe for children, pool bar / snack bar not very good.
Providing you get a pet-free room, the motel offers fair value for money- the strongest features being the location & breakfast!
Liked BWM till check out time
At 1st arrival our reservations were not correct. It took a lot of time to get things straightened out, but we were given an upgrade to a jacuzzi suite as an apology. Suite was very nice. At departure time we needed an one hr check out extension because flights were delayed due to G. W. Bush arrival. The management absolutely refused even though
I am very disabled and need to have my feet elevate to alleviate pain. No one there seemed to care, all over 1hr. I also might ad that we had been staying there for a week.
Very damp. not comfortable
I stayed here for 5 nights while visiting Parks in Orlando. The location is good. but hotel I was not too keen on. The room was big but damp. The airconditioning was outdated. Everytime we walked into the room their was a musty smell - I wasnt comfortable at all. It was a case of sleep and get out quick. bathroom was small and basic. price was ok i suppose but I would prefer to pay more for a comfortable room. we left with colds and sore throat.
Very Nice Basic Hotel
We stayed from 6/9/04-6/12/04 while visiting DisneyWorld and Universal. We spend most of the day at the parks so we were looking for a basic room with a nice pool at an exremely affordable price.
Hotel well kept, clean , nicely sized rooms .
I would recommend it if you are looking for cheap digs.
Better than what we were expecting
Stayed 01 May until 15 May 2004
Booked though Direct Holidays, Was a bit worried at first after reading reviews on various websites. But when we got there breathed a hugh sigh of relief.
We were first time visitors to Orlando but found hotel without any problems straight across from wet n' wild.
Staff were friendly and helpful, we had a leak in our bathroom at they were up to fix it in minutes.
Our room was a pool facing one, very clean with modern furniture and TV etc, air conditioning. Could maybe have been painted in a brighter colour. Bathroom spotless with hair dryer and coffee maker. Only complaint about room is that it is tiled when you come in the door and there is a gap of about 1 and 1/2 inches so the sound of people going by gets in. Only time we really noticed it was the first night when it must have been most of our floor checked out at 0530 hours and we could hear all the doors banging, just a pity they do not read the signs in the hall asking for you to be quite in the corridors. Apart from that never noticed much sound.
A bit annoyed that the in room safes were not able to be used, when we asked we were just told that they were waiting on new one to be installed, and no reassurance given that we did not need them. But luckily we did not need them.
Hallways could maybe do with a lick of paint.
House keeping was excellent fresh towels every day and beds changed every 3 days.
Swimming pool was nice always busy though.
Black Angus steakhouse that was attached onto the side of the hotel was great , staff were really friendly and the steaks were value for money and tasty. Had buffet breakfast in there most mornings.
There was free bus to certain parks, did not use as had hire car.
Universal studios was only a 5 minute drive, easy to get to sea world and disney parks.
Lots of shops and restaurants near by.
Will probably stay here again hopefully next year, and hopefully they will have there new in room safes and maybe a lick of paint in the halls.
Good Hotel Great Location
Stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks in October 2003. The location is great - across the street from Wet n Wild, and 10 minutes walk to Universal Studios if you dont want to take the car. There are free shuttle buses to the theme parks and a Black Angus steakhouse on site, although many more restaurants nearby. Rooms are very clean and nicely decorated.
Didnt experience any noise, pool was not that busy either this time of year. Definitely go back again as it is great value.
Good Hotel close to the action
Stayed in November 2003. Excellent value for money. Good location on International Drive for all activities. Nice pool. Just make sure that you stay on the pool side of the hotel & not the motorway side as that its a bit noisy. We aksed to move rooms which they accepted without any arguments.
Not sure would stay here again
We stayed here in 2002 and were slightly dissapointed. Although the room was very spacious, the hotel in general was noisy and the fact that they do not offer any shuttle service to the parks makes getting to them very awkward if you are not driving. Pool was nice, but very busy and there is no restaurant in the hotel at all - or a bar. ok if you want VERY BASIC
Nice, but noisy!
We stayed for 3 nights in BW Movieland early October, after season.
The hotel is very solid, what you may expect from BW. Rooms are spacious, bath room is clean. The pool area with Tikibar is OK and the location on International Drive across Wet 'n Wild is good.
But don't go here if you also want to enjoy your rest.
The doors let through a lot of noise and the tiles in the entree part of the room improve the effect. I woke all days around 7 in the morning because of playing kids and slamming doors, which is not my idea of holiday.
Without the noise it would be a more than average hotel.
Great hotel
Las Palmas is a friendly hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, a good sized pool and a restaurant offering a wide variety of excellent dishes right on the premises. It is an ideal base from which to visit the theme parks and the various attractions on International drive. We were pleased to see the extensive refurbishments and improvements on our second visit in April 2001, just one year after we first stayed in the hotel. I highly recommned it.

National Save for Retirement Week has gotten me thinking about my own savings journey, especially when I was in my late 20's – the age of today's millennials. I have always been a saver, but in my early working days, I was usually saving for "something" as opposed to for "someday". Contact lenses, a bicycle, for example, when I was in college, and later, as a new wife, saving for a car or a home purchase. But saving for the unexpected was really not on my screen.
Fast forward a couple of years, and I was a new mother who had decided to take a sabbatical from work and return to school. At that time, I was thinking about staying at home with our daughter and working part time after I finished an accounting program. My husband and I had some savings, so I wasn't too worried at the time.
Then, eighteen months later, my husband was laid off as a recession hit his industry hard, and suddenly we were parents with an eighteen month old, a mortgage and no income. It didn't take long for us to run through our savings – but we absolutely did not want to ask our parents for help. My parents still had three kids in college, and my husband's parents were retired and would only be able to lend us money, if that. So we borrowed against the cash value of our life insurance, worked hard to find jobs and thankfully were both employed before we ran out of money.
So what did I learn? First, having savings for those unforeseen situations is absolutely essential and we should have prepared better for that. And secondly, it felt really good, once it was all over, to have been able to get through a tough time as a couple and figure it out for ourselves. We learned from adversity and I think that we grew up a lot as a result of that challenging time.
As I think about my boomer cohorts, however, and our millennial children, I believe most of us wouldn't hesitate to rush in to help our children financially through a time like this – and I think we have raised our children to pretty much expect it. While most of my generation would never have asked our parents for financial help, I think we are guilty of having raised our children to do exactly that. Personally, I wish I had spent more time teaching my children about the discipline of saving and the financial security it can bring. I learned the hard way, but I have had a disciplined approach to saving ever since – whether it's for retirement, college educations…. or a broken down washing machine!

From Augustus Richard Norton and Sara Roy:
Hamas' strategic miscalculation in rejecting an extension to a six-month truce with Israel was a gift on a "golden platter" to Israel, as Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit wryly noted. The Israeli security establishment has been intent since its flawed 2006 war in Lebanon to reassert Israel's hegemony and its deterrent power. But the attack on Gaza may also have deeper causes. Lost in most of the coverage is the fact that the Israel-Hamas truce was working—a fact fully acknowledged in a recent intelligence report released by Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to that report, "Hamas was careful to maintain the ceasefire." Furthermore, "the lull was sporadically violated by rocket and mortar shell fire carried out by rogue terrorist organizations in some instances in defiance of Hamas."
Why would Israel want to end the truce? The success of the Israel-Hamas truce tacitly legitimized political dialogue with the Islamists, something that Israel (as well as the U.S. and Egypt) vehemently rejects. Equally important, while the truce was holding there was greater talk internationally about possible negotiations and freezing illegal Israeli settlement expansion and moves to boycott products made in those settlements. There were also growing calls for compromises that successive Israeli governments have been unwilling to make. Despite recent comments from outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert linking Israel's survival to withdrawal from the occupied West Bank, Israel has consistently rejected a viable two-state solution because it insists on maintaining control of the West Bank.
The periodic rain of rockets from Gaza into Israel since November 4 provoked broad public support for military action against Hamas. With President Bush soon packing his bags for Texas, there was also a strong incentive on Israel's part to capitalize on support from a predictably pliant White House.

Set to study the ground situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the all-party delegation led by Home Minister P. Chidambaram arrived in Jammu on Tuesday, even as the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Samajwadi Party and the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) decided to boycott the team.
The 36-member delegation, which arrived here from Srinagar, will meet over 30 delegations representing political parties, social, religious, trade and other associations, official sources said.
The BJP said it will boycott the all-party meeting here in protest against the failure to invite various nationalist parties for putting forth their viewpoints on Jammu and Kashmir.
"We have decided to boycott the all-party meeting here in protest against the failure to invite nationalist parties," Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Shamsher Singh Manhas said.
BJP spokesman Balbir Ram said 16 organisations have not been invited for the meeting. "These parties represent the aspirations and view points of Jammu and have been deliberately kept aside," he said.
Some of these organisations are VHP, RSS, Bajrang Dal and Panun Kashmir, he said.
He also said members of the all-party leaders delegation can go and meet separatist leaders at their homes despite their refusal to meet, but they chose to ignore and sideline nationalist parties here.
"This is a clear discrimination with Jammu and we are not going to tolerate it," he said.
Demanding resignation of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, the State unit of the BJP strongly opposed any move to revoke the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and demanded jobs on compassionate grounds for the kin of those killed in the ongoing unrest in the Valley.
The JKNPP has also decided not to meet the delegation.
"We have decided to boycott the delegation as no terms and conditions are attached. The delegation has no constitutional authority to take cognisance of the facts and situation that prevails today in J&K and particularly in the Kashmir Valley," JKNPP chairman Bhim Singh told reporters here.
The SP has also decided to keep away from meeting the delegation. "We are not meeting the delegation," State SP chief Sheikh Abdul Reham said.
Meanwhile, multi-tier security has been deployed in and around the venue of the meeting.
"We have sounded an alert in Jammu region. Police has been asked to keep a round the clock monitoring in sensitive areas of the region to foil any design of the militants," Jammu Inspector General of Police Ashok Gupta.
30 arrested for protesting against team
Meanwhile, 30 persons belonging to refugee and migrant communities were arrested for protesting against not being invited to meet the all-party delegation in Jammu.
Thirteen persons belonging to the refugee community and led by chairman of SOS International Rajiv Chuni were taken into custody by police at City Chowk here when they were proceeding towards Chief Minister's official residence, the venue of the meeting, police sources said.
They were taken into custody as they had not officially been invited to meet the delegation, they said.

Turning Characters into Character
One of the most important things we do as parents is to instill character into
our children. Every parent has a moment when they look at their child and wonder "Where did that behavior come from?" In those moments when our kids are acting like characters from a bad sit-com our greatest teaching moments can occur as we learn to look beyond the behavior, see our child's heart and help them grow life-long character.
Dates & Times: Two identical programs are offered each month from October through May. Moms attend one time per month and chose a group (A or C) to attend for the year. Both groups meet at 9:15 – 11:15 a.m.
Kids Together: While mothers are enjoying their morning, their young children will also be enjoying a quality, age-appropriate program. Bible stories, games, crafts and snacks are highlights. Kids Together is available for children kindergarten and younger. A homeschool room is available at Group C only. Child care rooms open at 9:00 a.m. Click here for important information about Women's Ministries Child Care.
Cost: Payable at the door: $6 for Mom only, $8 for Mom and one child, and $10 for Mom with two or more children. Cash, check or credit card payments are accepted.
Location: All programs will be held at FBCG's West Campus – 3435 Keslinger Road, Geneva (the northeast corner of Peck and Keslinger).

Comments about 6EN-CIA-SFS 1/3 HP, 50 GPM - Auto Sump/Effluent Pump:
This sump pump was a replacment for a swimming pool. Although the model number had changed, the website offered a compatible replacement. Very easy shopping online, quick delivery. Easy replacement installation. Previous pump ordered from you exceeded my expectations for long life. Thanks, Chuck
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great sump pump.
By Mike
from St. Louis, MO
Replaced an old FloTec installed by previous homeowner. Night and day difference, a major improvement. Very powerful and very quiet (I can't even hear when it kicks on). Very solid, heavy duty construction and well thought design. Much better than the best the big box stores had to offer. Never thought I would be so excited about a sump pump. Nice to know you can still find a quality product that will last. Great service from PexSupply!

Vera R. Obermeyer
Marriage & Family Therapist
"I work as a sole practitioner in the heart of San Francisco. My comfortable office is easily located and accessible by public bus lines as well as available street parking. Clients of all ages and ethnicities are welcome. You determine what issues you would like to work on and we set your goals for therapy together. As a survivor of the Holocaust, who experienced life as an immigrant in this country, I feel uniquely qualified to work with traumatized clients who present their existentialist issues for discussion.

Molly Kathleen Saeger
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
"My hope is to provide practical support and insight that develops a sensible model for people to resolve future issues on their own, outside of therapy. I'll help you explore your feelings and relationships. Together, we'll work to discover what really matters to you and how you can live your life more fully and happily. Anxiety, depression, painful entanglements, behavioral issues and the lingering effects of damaging experiences can exhaust us and our happiness. I am very experienced in treating many such issues in adults and children and helping people improve their relationships, lives, and sense of self.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MFT
"My specialty is psychotherapy with individual adults, couples and group members whose lives are not working. In love and work they may experience feelings of despair, failure, lost hope or seemingly unresolvable conflict . Undermining anxiety, depression, grief , fear of rejection or a more general feeling of lack of fufillment and malaise may bring them to therapy. Their struggles may originate in personality patterns that were created for protection and survival in earlier stages of their development. My work involves helping them to understand their feelings and to successfully work through the obstacles to fulfillment of their needs and desires.

Yvonne Guertin
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT
"Coming from a holistic, non-pathological, mind-body perspective, I work with adults who seek to improve the quality of their lives and reduce the stress of modern living. Many people suffer from loneliness, depression, anxiety or loss. Others need help with communication, direction in life, or finding more meaning. These conditions are more normal than abnormal, but sometimes they can feel overwhelming and people need help.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MFT
"Hello and welcome to my private practice. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process based on mutual trust and respect. Progress is made when there is honesty, comfort, motivation, awareness and committment, but these are not the prerequisites- you can develop them as you continue working. Therapy itself can be short (a few sessions) or long term, and in successful cases its positive impact lasts a lifetime. Since 1999 I've been offering warm and supportive environment to individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, loss, parenting issues, low self-esteem, substance use and eating disorders.

"My clients describe me as non-judgmental, supportive and insightful. In addition to talk therapy, I work experientially, because growth involves experimenting, trying, and doing rather than only thinking, understanding, and planning.

Military services ramp up training, HR to meet Cybercom staffing demands – Looking ahead: Cyber takes the stage Tuesday – StealthGenie author pleads guilty
With help from David Perera and Shaun Waterman
MILITARY SERVICES RAMP UP TRAINING, HR TO MEET CYBERCOM STAFFING DEMANDS — The services are about 40 percent finished recruiting and training the 6,200 soldiers and civilians that will make up the military's Cyber Mission Forces by 2016, but getting there has taken a lot of work. The Air Force has vastly increased the capacity of its cyber training programs, for example, and revamped curriculum and testing qualifications for cyber operators. The Marine Corps has penned a memorandum of understanding that allows cyber-focused soldiers to serve extended tours to account for long training times. And, most significantly, the Army's Human Resources Command launched a new cyber branch in March to give more clarity to cyber specialists' career and promotion paths. That's the service's first new branch since its special operations branch was launched in 1987.
Cyber Mission Forces, the multi-service force that reports to U.S. Cyber Command, numbered under 1,000 in 2013 and is set to grow to six times that size by the close of 2016. The Army, Navy and Air Force are each responsible for supplying about 30 percent of Cyber Mission Forces soldiers and the Marine Corps is tasked with supplying the final 10 percent. Reaching those numbers has required some fundamental changes in how the services recruit early-career soldiers into cybersecurity and how they attract and retain mid-career cyber specialists, officials told MC.

LOOKING AHEAD: CYBER TAKES THE STAGE TUESDAY — Washington's cyber set will be back to work next week after a well-deserved break and the biggest events are all squeezed into one busy Tuesday morning. On Capitol Hill, two former undersecretaries of defense for policy will be testifying before the House Armed Services Committee about the United States Institute of Peace's National Defense Panel review of DoD's 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review. That review described cyber as "among the very top priorities for the modernization of the force" and urged DoD to "look beyond traditional avenues of modernization and leverage the contributions of the non-defense private sector." The report also called out the danger of Chinese cybertheft of U.S. companies' intellectual property and "Russia's increasing use of rapidly mobile and well-equipped special operations forces with coordinated political warfare and cyberspace capabilities to create new 'facts on the ground.'" The panelists will be Michèle Flournoy, CEO of the Center for a New American Security, and Eric Edelman, a distinguished fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.

Also on Tuesday, retiring House Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers and White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Michael Daniel will discuss cyber issues at The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council. Meanwhile, over at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Vice Adm. Jan Tighe, commander of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, will discuss "a range of technical and organizational approaches being advanced, and how they aid in 10th Fleet's broad mission as the Navy's operational authority for cyber."

STEALTHGENIE AUTHOR PLEADS GUILTY -- The Danish-Pakistani author of the StealthGenie spyware package pleaded guilty Tuesday, the first ever conviction in the U.S. for selling smartphone spyware, according to the DOJ. The spyware application remotely and stealthily monitors calls, texts, emails and other communications on smartphones. Hammad Akbar, CEO of InvoCode Pvt. Ltd. and Cubitium Ltd., the companies that advertised and sold StealthGenie online, was sentenced to time served and must pay a $500,000 fine. The court also ordered Akbar to forfeit to the government the source code for StealthGenie. He was arrested Sept. 27 in Los Angeles after traveling to the U.S. from Pakistan.
"Make no mistake: selling spyware is a federal crime, and the [Justice Department] will make a federal case out if it," assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell said in a statement. "As technology evolves, the FBI will continue to evolve to protect consumers from those who sell illegal spyware," added Andrew G. McCabe of the FBI's Washington Field Office. The case has aroused interest among cyber watchers because it's unclear where the legal line is drawn when it comes to phone-monitoring software. Many companies, including several based in the U.S., market apps with functionality similar to StealthGenie but advertise them for use on employees' or children's phones — which is legal. The DOJ press release: http://1.usa.gov/1CcUjEn
FLOURNOY OUT OF SECDEF RACE — Michèle Flournoy, a former undersecretary of defense for policy, confirmed to POLITICO on Tuesday that she is taking her name out of the running to succeed outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. That leaves Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work and his predecessor, Ash Carter, as the strongest remaining contenders for the post. The next Defense chief will oversee a tripling in Cyber Mission Forces and help guide the response to growing cyber assaults against DoD networks. He or she will also likely take part in an evolving dialogue on how and when U.S. Cyber Command may launch offensive cyberstrikes. More from Pro Defense: http://politico.pro/1FoMHNs
MORE WAITING FOR NIST CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROCESS UPDATE — There's been a change of plans for anyone awaiting finalization of NIST's revised cryptographic standards development process. Rather than issue a final draft of the document, NISTIR 7977, by the end of this year as originally planned, NIST will issue a second draft of the document in early 2015. "We've been working hard to incorporate changes based on the comments we received from the public on the first draft, as well as the recommendations from the VCAT," NIST cryptographer Andy Regenscheid said. The VCAT is the standing Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology that advises NIST on programmatic and organizational matters.
The second draft will "give the community a chance to weigh in on the changes before they become final," NIST spokesperson Jennifer Huergo said. NIST decided to revise its process after Edward Snowden's leaks renewed suspicion that the NSA implanted a backdoor into a NIST cryptographic standard, which is an algorithm for generating random numbers. Much of the advice sent to NIST urges the institute to be ultra-careful and transparent when it comes to NSA participation in standards development. The first draft of NISTIR 7977: http://1.usa.gov/1nTMJUv
CANADIAN AND SWEDISH LEADERS PRAISE MULTISTAKEHOLDER MODEL — Canada's Centre for International Governance Innovation wrapped up Day One of its Global Commission on Internet Governance meeting in Ottawa last night with calls for online freedom and support for the multistakeholder Internet governance model from Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt.
"Multistakeholder Internet governance isn't the snappiest or the sexiest title, but it's exactly what we need to preserve if we're going to ensure the Internet remains free and open for the benefit of all users," said Baird, referring to the loose coalition of technocratic organizations that now manages most global Internet policy. Baird described the world as at "a crossroads" between a unified Internet and a balkanized one. Ensuring secure networks is one ingredient to the unified Internet path, he said, calling on the global Internet community to "deny cyber criminals the equivalent of cyber safe havens." Bildt struck a similar chord. "The innovation potential of the Net holds the key to the future of a lot that is going to happen in our society," he said, "and, without freedom, a lot of development isn't going to happen." The conference continues today.

Comment - Wehring's Way: Heineken, F&N, APB, ThaiBev - More Questions Than Answers
By Olly Wehring | 17 September 2012
Can you read ThaiBev's mind? I can't
Go on, then: Who's going to be brave enough to predict how Heineken's battle for control of Asia Pacific Breweries is going to pan out?
The reason I ask so brazenly, is that I can't quite see a clear path for this one. Ultimately, it boils down to one of two alternatives (I think): Heineken completes its buy-out of Fraser & Neave's stake in the APB brewing JV, or the Dutch brewer will look to take full control of APB from Fraser & Neave's prospective new owners, ThaiBev.
No sooner has the board of Fraser & Neave agreed to recommend Heineken's second offer for its full consideration of APB, than last week ThaiBev launched a bid to take over F&N itself. There's no other cliché for this: It's been a hell of a rollercoaster ride. And, there are bound to be a few more twists and turns before the end comes into view.
Two things are currently unclear. Firstly, no-one's entirely sure where ThaiBev has got its firepower from to launch a US$7.2bn cash bid for all of Fraser & Neave. Secondly, and most importantly for Heineken, what are ThaiBev's intentions in all this? Fraser & Neave, remember, is a Singapore conglomerate with interests in properties and publishing and printing as well as food and beverage. Does ThaiBev want to have a go at 'conglomerating'? Is the firm looking to have a play with F&N's soft drinks brands? Or, is it looking to scupper Heineken's plans and get involved with APB?
I hope Heineken has a better idea than we have. Much as it's hard to read what ThaiBev is looking for in all of this, one would hope that Jean-François van Boxmeer and Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi have had a chat or two on the 'phone in the last week or so.
In the meantime, F&N's board is continuing with a roadshow round its main investors, pitching the Heineken offer of SGD53 per share – or US$4.3bn – as a good deal. After all, it'll cost F&N US$45.7m in break-fines if the deal doesn't go through. Heineken, meanwhile, will be preparing plans 'A' and 'B' for either scenario. Any other option, whatever it may be, must be unthinkable for Heineken: After 81 years in APB, the brewer will feel like APB is part of its furniture.
All is set to become a clear a week on Friday (28 September), which, considering F&N's EGM is being held at ten in the morning Singapore time, means the folk in Amsterdam are in for a very long day.

A glorious sequel to one of the funniest movies ever.
The directing, music, characters, and old-timey special effects were all great, but it was really the dialogue that made the movie worth watching again and again.
So, to sum up, if you LIKED Lost Skeleton of Cadavra you will probably like this just as much or more.
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is one of my favorite "neo-retro" sci-fi/monster movies. The Lost Skeleton Returns Again... isn't. Read morePublished 14 days ago by Greg
I can't understand why more people aren't talking about this movie! What a funny production, both the original and the sequel. Read morePublished 22 days ago by B. Walker
If you haven't watched the Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, you'd best do so before viewing this movie. Both of them are spoofs on the old horror/science fiction movies. Read morePublished 2 months ago by Rue
The first film is hilarious and an all-time favorite of mine, and while the sequel provides enough laughs to make it not so terrible some of the jokes unfortunately get nailed too... Read morePublished 3 months ago by Joe Finsternis
We purchased this movie because we loved the first skeleton movie and the reviews said ti was equal to the first one. We found it was not so much as good. Read morePublished 3 months ago by Shunyata13
You got to have a sense of humor to enjoy this movie. If you don't laugh give it up, your either boring or really good looking and people wont notice the character flaw. Read morePublished 3 months ago by P. Minke
Most excellent movie. Great follow up to the lost skeleton of cadavera. Well done again!Published 4 months ago by george k. seitz

I was at a double-feature of this and Dark and Story Night a couple of days ago in West Hollywood, and much of the cast was there to answer questions. According to the producer, Trail of the Screaming Forehead has not yet been released, but they are working hard to get it out to the public.

Music and iPod fans don't have to get dazed and confused, or go to California to climb the stairway to audio heaven to buy a stylish, compact, performance-oriented audio system. But enough with the Led Zeppelin puns ...
Bower & Wilkins' (B&W) new Zeppelin Mini is the newest audio solution from the well-respected British company.
The new Mini is a smaller version of the company's popular Zeppelin iPod/iPhone audio system and the Internet retailer Amazon.com is offering pre-order sales on the Zeppelin Mini, which is expected to start shipping in early November.
B&W engineered the Mini to utilize many of its proprietary technologies, including its new full-range 3-inch fiberglass drivers, slotted cones and a new long-throw motor assembly that B&W says helps the Mini to produce an extended frequency range and higher dynamics.
In addition, B&W also incorporates digital signal processing (DSP) to handle equalization and Class D amplification technologies to power the Mini's speaker system.

Know the difference between naked and nude? The Calendar Girls will tell you: Nude simply means more or less undressed. Naked means unprotected and vulnerable. So, its nude photos in Tim Firths poignant 2009 comedy, Calendar Girls. Based on a true story and made into a film in 2003, the play concerns a Yorkshire Womens Institute. After one of the members lost her beloved husband to leukemia in 1998, they all banded together to raise money for cancer research. These close-knit, middle-aged women posed for a pinup calendar, and it became an international sensation, selling 88,000 copies and raising more than half a million dollars.In the play, the names have been changed, but the situation remains basically the same. Real life, however, was probably a lot less funny. The piece played Londons West End, then went on a national tour of England and Australia. It was also seen in Canada.But DJ Sullivan, who is retiring from the theater after 60 years of teaching and directing, snagged the first, exclusive American rights. DJ cast many of her long-term Sullivan Players, women willing to create an amusing calendar of their own, the proceeds of which will benefit the San Diego Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. But theres an extra layer of relevance here: almost everyone involved with the production has had a close personal encounter with cancer.So, when rabble-rousing firebrand Chris, convincingly played by Dori Salois, rails against the monstrous disease, you believe her every word. The pace is a bit sluggish in the first act, and the characters are fairly two-dimensional, but the ensemble is energetic and committed. Thankfully, the humor dampens the sentimentality and occasional didacticism. The excellent intention of the play and production makes you want to buy a calendar (even indomitable director Sullivan is in it!), and donate to a worthy cancer cause. If a comedy encourages you to be bold and philanthropic, thats nothing less than a triumph.Calendar Girls runs through November 23, at Swedenborg Hall in University Heights.

The musical spectacle is back. A grand, sumptuous epic has just taken over the La Jolla Playhouse: the U.S. premiere of The Hunchback of Notre Dame,produced in association with New Jerseys Paper Mill Playhouse, by special arrangement with Disney Theatrical Group.Some of the songs come from the 1996 Disney animated film, with its Oscar-nominated score: music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. This version, with a book by Peter Parnell, is even darker, and hews closer to the 1831 Victor Hugo novel.The set is stunning, and certainly makes the church itself a character, as Hugo intended. Here, its a colossal tri-level,featuring gargoyles, niches for saints, and of course, the massive bells, which make a very dramatic first appearance. Employing the magnificent soul-stirring choral ensemble, Sacra/Profana, adds to the feel of being inside a Cathedral. The sound and lighting are superb, and the multi-layered story is told in a highly imaginative manner, switching narrators, with characters sometimes talking about themselves in the third person. The direction of Scott Schwartz is inventive, though the cast often comes downstage and sings the many anthems directly to the audience. The voices are marvelous. The strongest overall performances come from the magnificent, commanding Patrick Page as that villainous Notre Dame archdeacon, Claude Frollo; Erik Lieberman as Clopin, the magical king of the gypsies; and Michael Arden as the bell-ringer Quasimodo, who makes himself misshapen before our eyes, and breaks our hearts with his gentle spirit, inarticulate speech and splendid voice. A four-way love is at the center of the story, set in Paris, 1482, as self-sacrificing Quasimodo, self-righteous Frollo and self-serving Phoebus, Captain of the Guards, all fall hard for Esmeralda, the irresistible, compassionate gypsy street dancer. Alliances shift, and some will die revealing their true nature. Who is the monster and who is the man, as the song goes. The 14-member orchestra is inspired, the choreography underwhelming. But for undoubtedly Broadway-bound pageantry, you cant beat this captivating gothic/romantic tale.Before it even opened,The Hunchback of Notre Dame was extended through December 14, at the La Jolla Playhouse.

Its the soundscape of our lives. Well, it is if you were born between 1946 and 1964. That makes you a Baby Boomer, and Lambs Players cash-cow perennial, Boomers, will make you want to jump up and sing. Focused on the Jell-O generation, its for anyone who loves the timeless tunes of the 60s and 70s. The revue, which covers a vast amount of territory, first opened over 20 years ago, and its returned again and again. Id heard there were some updates on the Boomers journey from Flower Children to mainstream shoppers. Or, as one character puts it, We started out consumed with passion. Now were passionate consumers. Seventy-six million strong, from hippies to Yuppies and beyond.The updates concern life after 60. I think, therefore, Im single, says one high-power professional woman. Another has had three divorces, and her adult offspring are still living at home. So, the Peace-Love generation didnt turn out quite as tranquil as expected. But they sure had a helluva time along the way.The set-up has the audience as students; the snarky, sarcastic professor, a Boomer himself,delivers the history, starting with Bob Segers Old-Time Rock and Roll and ending with 3 Dog Nights upbeatJoy to the World.In between, co-creators Kerry Meads and Vanda Eggington interlace tons of tunes, including the theme songs of early TV shows, which both shaped and reflected who we were.Wonderful medleys of anti-war songs, civil rights songs, the war on poverty and the war between the sexes. Dating and breaking up which, as we all know, is hard to do. The joys andturbulence of the times are shown in projections.There isnt enough choreography, and theres no gay story. But the band is fantastic and the voices are great, showing how we tuned in, we turned on, we dropped out, we got back into the mainstream. Its a sometimes melancholy but mostly joyful story. We might forget we were there, but we never forget the music. Boomers has been extended again, through November 23, at the Horton Grand Theatre, downtown.

Maybe youve seen the movie A Day Without a Mexican. Well, heres a play that gives us A Day Without a Gay. You could subtitle Paul Rudnicks Regrets Only Gaymageddon. Just think of it: What couldnt you do if everyone of the homosexual persuasion suddenly disappeared from your life? Hip haircut? Fuggedaboudit. Major in Womens Studies? No way, Josefina.This is only a small part of Rudnicks laugh-line-a-minute 2006 comedy, but its probably the most memorable part.What we have here is wealthy New Yorkers of the Noël Coward school: quippy, superficial, appearance-obsessed and, in the case of socialite Tibby McCulloughs husband and daughter, decidedly right-leaning.Tibbys best friend is Hank Hadley, a fabulous, famous gay fashion designer. Her mother has married five gay men. But her husband has been tapped by the President (that would be George W) to work on a Constitutional amendment presenting an iron-clad definition of legal marriage as between a man and a woman. Jack McCullough drags his whiney, over-privileged lawyer-daughter along for the ride. Meanwhile, she announces that shes just gotten engaged, which unleashes wide-ranging tirades on marriage, friendship, equality and fidelity. Diversionary Theatre has snagged the San Diego premiere of this contemporary drawing room comedy. Under Jessica Johns direction, the pace is lively and the cast is meringue-light and endlessly amusing, chicly attired in Alina Bokovikovas stunning frocks, while they frolic in Matt Scotts upscale set. Andrew Oswalds Hank is an impeccable mix of smart, sassy and sarcastic. Kerry McCue is tasty as Tibby, and Dagmar Fields is a hoot as her wacky mother. Teri Brown tears up the place as the worlds most intrusive Jewish maid, who assumes foreign accents for fun. Charles Maze and Rachael Van Wormer tend to the shrill as the lawyerly father and daughter. Rudnick is one of the cheekiest, wittiest writers around. Have a laugh, and maybe youll have a think. Send no regrets; just show up at this soirée.Regrets Only continues through November 16 at the Welk Resort Theatre in Escondido.

Two old warhorses have been trotted out for another run. They dont write musicals like this any more -- not as tuneful, and not as long!My Fair Lady, one of the most brilliant musicals ever, clocks in at three hours at Moonlight Stage Productions. Its genius comes from the book, largely lifted from George Bernard Shaws Pygmalion, the perfect inspiration for Lerner and Loewes terrific score. Steve Glaudini deftly directs a huge cast of 30, backed by an outstanding 25-piece orchestra, under the masterful baton of Elan McMahan. The singing is superb and the dancing is divine. But there are a few flaws in this attractive and elaborate production.Eliza is the flower-seller whos to be passed off as a duchess on a bet between two phoneticians. As played by Hilary Maiberger, Eliza has surprisingly little Cockney accent at the outset, so her dialectal transformation is minimal which is the whole point of the play. As her suitor, Freddy, Nick Adorno reveals little personality in his should-be-show-stopping song, On the Street Where You Live. On the plus side, Hank Stratton is marvelous as supercilious Professor Higgins, and Jamie Torcellini is delightful as the comic relief Alfred P. Doolittle, With a Little Bit of Luck and Get Me to the Church on Time. Jim Chovick and Kathy Brombacher provide excellent support as Col. Pickering and Mrs. Higgins.Meanwhile, at the Welk Theatre, Oklahoma is vying for statehood again, in the heartfelt but corn-fed1963 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Here, too, the singing is strong, but the sets, wigs and four-piece musical accompaniment are weak. Despite a stellar score, and the best efforts of director/choreographer Dan Mojica, its hard for this show not to feel musty.The energy is high in the trimmed-down cast of 16, and the central players are vocally and dramatically potent; theres fine chemistry between Allen Everman and Kailey ODonnell as cowboy Curly and farmgirl Laurey. The love triangle with the menacing hired hand Jud Fry works effectively. Andrew Koslow is agile and amiable as warm-hearted but witless Will Parker, andArielle Meads is a stunner in the Dream Ballet.History and longevity make these two North County shows worth seeing, warts and all.My Fair Lady runs through August 30, at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista.Oklahoma continues through November 16 at the Welk Resort Theatre in Escondido.
