Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne proved family comes before the music a few days ago by throwing a Cinderella-themed birthday bash for his daughter in Atlanta.
Invited guests included Weezy's Cash Money boss, Birdman, and rap star T.I.
Reginae Carter, daughter of Lil' Wayne and Toya Wright, brought in her 13th birthday like a princess. The Cinderella-themed soiree held at Atlanta's Callanwolde Mansion, featured a horse and carriage arrival as Lil' Wayne escorted his daugther wearing a tux and Phantom of the Opera-like mask. Some of the attendees included Birdman (Reginae's Godfather), and T.I. with wife Tiny. (Miss Info TV)
Earlier this year, Wayne's ex-wife Toya, spoke to SOHH about their daughter's talent.
"Yes, Reginae is very talented," Toya told SOHH. "She is very talented, smart and wise beyond her years. And I know Wayne feels the same way, that she's a star. [Her future?] It's really whatever she wants to do. She been doing music with her dad lately. As long as she's doing what she has to do in school and making good grades, I'll support anything else." (SOHH)
In March, Reginae Tweeted photos of an outing she had with Wayne.
Say what you want about Lil Wayne, but don't question his love for his kids. The family guy enjoyed the weekend with his 12-year-old daughter Reginae and son Dwayne Carter III, hamming it up for the camera in a photo booth. "Like father, like son, like daughter! Meet the carters!" tweeted Reginae after spending the day with her father. (Rap-Up)
Late last year, Wayne's manager Cortez Bryant described Reginae as a multi-talented artist.
"Reginae is just a star," Cortez said in an interview. "She wants to be singer, an actress, she does it all. A great personality. She takes after him. He's going to nurture whatever she wants to do. He's supporting her in anything that she wants to do. So, if she says she wants to sing, I know that Wayne is going to do everything in his power and help her fulfill that dream, and I'm going to be right there to nurture it." (Celebrity Access)

LFO – a high-quality, low-fi science fiction black comedy (Eclipse gave it an A following its appearance at the Calgary International Film Festival) – works just as well on a small screen as it did in the theater because for all that it successfully achieves its ambitions, it is an intimate study on one man's descent into madness.

Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka – Meet the First Ninth Doctor!
For the fortieth anniversary of Doctor Who – with no hope of a TV reboot (or any other celebration) of the show on tap – a couple of BBC employees decided to create an animated web series. Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka was that web series – a Flash animation adventure of a slightly vampiric-looking Ninth Doctor voiced by Richard E. Grant.
Doctor Who: The Green Death Special Edition – The Doctor Goes Eco-Warrior!
Doctor Who has always been known for spinning interesting, even classic yarns; for somehow managing, despite serious budgetary constraints, to create visual effects that could be creepy, scary and effective – some of the time. What Doctor Who had never done – before The Green Death – was consciously produce a message story. In the final adventure to feature Jo Grant, Doctor Who took on the challenge of environmental issues – and the possibilities of artificial intelligence – in one of the show's most rewarding serials.
DVD Review: God Bless America: Bobcat Goldthwaite Takes Out The Trash!
If you've ever been ticked off by a jerk who not only zips into that parking space you were heading for, but parked diagonally across its neighboring space as well; if you've ever wanted to wring the necks of a group of kids chattering through a movie, or put a definitive end to reality shows built around screaming, spoiled brats or self-indulgent bimbos, then God Bless America might just be the movie for you.
The Killing: The Complete First Season – Two Weeks In A Frustrating Murder Investigation!
AMC's The Killing debuted to rave reviews and hit us with four or five amazing episodes of television before seeming to wander off and devolve into self-indulgence for four episodes before roaring back with three amazing episodes to finish its first season. The season finale puzzled some, infuriated others and intriguing just as many. The extras on the first season DVD set go a long way toward explaining the series plan in a way that should win back the most frustrated and infuriated viewers – they've certainly got me anticipating season two.
DVD Review: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Rocks The Small Screen!
When I reviewed David Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo for its theatrical release, I noted that it surprised me because it was as good as the earlier, Swedish version that made Noomi Rapace familiar to an international audience. Considering its length and the fact that it's very much a film that should be seen in a theater, Fincher's film plays extremely well on the much smaller screen in my living-room.
Battle Royale: The Complete Collection 4-Disc Collector's Set – Before The Hunger Games There Was Battle Royale!
Battle Royale – and its sequel, Battle Royale II – are among the most brutally beautiful movies I've ever seen. The original film is about a class of junior high school students are dumped on a deserted island and forced to kill each other off; the sequel, finds another ninth grade class being forced to attack the survivors of the first film – who have declared war on the adults responsible for the Battle Royale law.
Previously available in North America only in bootleg editions with dodgy subtitles, or very basic releases, these two films have a four-disc DVD release that comes with both the original theatrical release of the first film and the Special Edition that followed, the second film, and over two hours of bonus features.
2-Disc Set Shows That Puss In Boots Is Terrific In 2D Too!
Dreamworks Animation's Puss In Boots was a big hit in 3D, but, as the DVD release shows, it's great fun in 2D, too – and the DVD Double Pack contains both a new Puss adventure – The Three Diablos – and plenty of bonus material.
The Gantz Saga: Saved From Death To Wage War On Aliens!
The Gantz Saga is a two movie adaptation of the popular manga. At first, it seems like a straightforward superhero vs. aliens tale – albeit with an odd origin – but as the story progresses, it begins to ask questions and shift from one perspective to another.
The Way – It's About The Journey, Dummy!
Generally speaking, uplifting/inspirational movies tend to be clusters of clichés gathered together in a group and wallowing in mushy scores and ham-fisted acting. The Way opts to go another way – it's a gentle, almost meandering story about a man coming to grips with the loss of a son and both finding himself and finding his way into a community – a blessedly cliché-free take on what Joseph Campbell called the Hero's Journey.
Doctor Who: Sensorites – William Hartnell's Cranky Grandfather vs. Cautious Telepaths!
Doctor Who and the Sensorites was the seventh adventure of the first Doctor. It's a tale of trapped humans, scared aliens and thwarted ambition.

35 Years Ago: 'The Return of Kiss' Tour Hits a Snag
Kiss' biggest and boldest shows yet would unfortunately mark the end of an era.
Kiss' biggest and boldest shows yet would unfortunately mark the end of an era.
The guitarist says he'd make some changes to Kiss' 1979 album 'Dynasty.'
Posters around Las Vegas are hinting that a deal has already been struck.
Paul Stanley has responded to the inflammatory and seemingly misguided charges leveled at him by the CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Tommy Thayer understands why Kiss fans are upset at him wearing Ace Frehley's makeup.
Kiss drummer Eric Singer points out that both Ace Frehley and Peter Criss played alongside replacement members wearing original makeup during their careers.
Take Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss and put them on a commercial flight with a 'Modern Family' star's mother, and what do you get?
Kenny Kerner, who produced numerous bands over the years including Kiss, has died. Kerner and Richie Wise co-produced Kiss' first two albums.
In a new interview, Ace Frehley claims that KISS were afraid he'd "blow Tommy Thayer off the stage" with his guitar skills.
Even though they saw it coming, Kiss were unable to stop the wheels from coming off their careers starting with the release of 1979's disco-influenced 'Dynasty.'
Our friends at Ultimate Classic Rock have been compiling an impressive collection of real-life 'Spinal Tap' stories from some of rock's greatest legends. This latest clip stars KISS legend Ace Frehley, who tells the tale of bedding a model in Mexico, but the twist in Ace's story is sure to crack you up.
This newest edition of 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?' segment was so good, we had to split it into two parts! Iconic KISS legend Ace Frehley stopped by our studios to appear in our popular series, actually clearing up a great deal of untrue information.

The swathe of uprooted trees left behind in the aftermath of the deadly Super Typhoon Haiyan, which ravaged the Philippines last week, may release a pulse of carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. It is too soon to know how much carbon has been released due to one of the strongest storms to hit landfall, but studies of previous storms suggest the amount could be significant. Forests can recapture the carbon as they regrow, but that depends on how quickly they grow back and the impact of subsequent storms, researchers said.

Hey, it appears that the Church has changed its position – a minor miracle, obviously. The pope has fired his chief astronomer after a series of public clashes over the theory of evolution. Father George Coyne, an American Jesuit, was dismissed from his position as director of the Vatican Observatory after repeatedly contradicting the Holy See's endorsement of "intelligent design" theory, which essentially backs the revered "Adam and Eve" fable. You see, the pope favors the intelligent design notion, which says that God directs the process of evolution, while not denying Darwin's original theory that species evolve through the random, unplanned processes of genetic mutation and the survival of the fittest. Evolution, which is now so firmly established that it cannot be ignored or denied by any but the terminally ignorant, is thus made only a tool of the omnipotent deity. The major flaw in such a picture is that Darwin is right even without any magical intervention; evolution takes place without any sort of direction by a mythological entity.
Coyne, director of the Vatican Observatory for 28 years, was an outspoken supporter of Darwin's theory, arguing that it is compatible with Christianity – which is not at all true. Coyne attacked the intelligent design notion as a "religious movement" lacking any scientific merit, thereby perhaps suggesting that the Catholic view had some such merit. To me, it appears that the Catholic opposition to the intelligent design idea originally stemmed from the emphasis and acceptance placed on it by non-Catholic religions, but now it's back in Vatican fashion.
Father Coyne had strong things to say after Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Vienna, a former student of the pope, presented the case for intelligent design in an op-ed article in the New York Times titled, "Finding Design in Nature." Schonborn, jumping into the busy evolution debate in the USA, argued that Darwin's statements on random variation and natural selection were counter to the Catholic stance that there is divine purpose and design in nature, and he said that evolution had become an atheistic weapon that was being used against the Church.
Speaking at a conference in Florida a year ago, Coyne said that "intelligent design isn't science, even if it pretends to be." No argument from me on that point! It appears that in his speeches and his writing on intelligent design, Coyne was working without an imprimatur from the Vatican, which has never been known to operate in a democratic fashion, and has never entertained the idea of free speech.
The Vatican Observatory, now under new, safer, and much more reliable direction, has an interesting history. It began as a simple observational tower erected by Pope Gregory XIII in 1578. This was the Gregory who brought about the drastic changes in the Western calendar, appropriately now named, the Gregorian Calendar. By 1800, the tower was being used for real astronomy – rather than simple positional work, and a century later it was formally established as the Vatican Observatory. The Jesuits now operate it, working both from facilities south of Rome and from the University of Arizona in Tucson.
This is a strange – but effective – technique of the Vatican, taking science to its bosom only to more closely keep track of the ugly facts that might threaten Church control over thinking and acting.
The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) came close to admitting the error of condemning Galileo, but their failure to tackle the problem only accentuated the perceived lack of compatibility between science and religion that remains and will continue to be evident until the Church adopts reality and abandons superstition. That is a highly unlikely scenario. That Vatican Council gave much attention to the dearly wished-for reconciliation of Holy Scripture and science, but fell short of dealing with the Galileo fiasco.
Only recently – in 1992 – did the Church officially announce acceptance of the findings of Galileo, thus making a major but necessary move into the real world. Those facts, derived from earlier rather obviously true Copernican observations, were firmly and successfully argued by Galileo; any organization, even the Church, can only offend common sense and reality for a limited time, then must join in acceptance of the recognized facts. Though the Catholic Index of 1758 – barely a century after Galileo's death – had withdrawn the ban on books suggesting that the Earth moved, and his "Dialogue," the book that brought about his trial and conviction for heresy, was taken off the Index in 1822, the actual admission of error took a full three-and-a-half centuries to arrive.
Promptly after this munificent gesture of the Church was announced – it was designated as a "rehabilitation" of Galileo – there were a myriad of explanations offered for the travesty, many of them bringing in the tired old alibi of "interpretation" of the scriptures. This allows the Church to fall back on their pretext that readers should assume – when needed – a non-literal meaning of the words found in the Bible: the creation of the universe actually could have taken longer than seven days, there were perhaps more than two initial inhabitants of Eden, and there might have been more bread and fish on that mountain than we were taught in Sunday School…
Following the forgiving of Galileo, there were murmured speculations – even among the faithful – that further "rehabilitations" might be in the offing. We should not expect that. The rationalizations have a very, very, long way to go. For just a few, we have virgin birth, Heaven, Hell, transubstantiation, prayer, resurrection, and all sorts of other debris to clear away. Who's next…?
(Confronted by a religious fundamentalist with the question, "Then how do you explain how all those people were fed with just a few loaves and fishes?" my friend Jim Gardner thought a bit, and suggested, "Small portions?" I'm proud to know Jim, and if I'm asked that question, I just may steal that excellent response…)
Reader Rick Wannall, who proudly designates himself as a volunteer at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, opened his Wall Street Journal and had an attack of the vapors:
My jaw is still on the floor. I opened the Journal today to find, on the front page, a full column (plus most of another one inside) reporting the reactions of astrologers to the reclassification of Pluto.
If there is a more discredited collection of bunk on the planet, I would be hard pressed to figure out what that would be.
"Dedicated stargazers"? Astrologers? Hardly. To suggest that these people pay the slightest attention to anything remotely based in fact, other than the psychology of those who seek their services, would be laughable if it were not horrifyingly misleading. Owing to the precession of equinoxes over centuries, the planets are not even in the so-called "houses" where they were located back when the signs were established. Their so-called readings are not even based on the current state of the objects that they claim to depend on for the readings.
But it's worse, much worse. Not one, single, properly conducted, double-blind test of astrology or its variants has ever given the slightest indication that there might be any genuine correlation between the positions or movements of planets and the characteristics of human beings.
Why the Wall Street Journal would report the reactions of astrologers to an issue of genuine scientific concern is beyond me. To link them with the reclassification of planets is to suggest that somehow what they do is related in some way to science. Nothing could be further from the truth, and the Journal should be ashamed to contribute to this continuing confusion.
Rick, I also noted the demotion of Pluto to a "dwarf planet" category, and except for a minor choking sound, I had little serious reaction. After all, it was the International Astronomical Union who met to make this decision, and any body that has decided in its wisdom to name an asteroid after me, cannot be doubted. (That's the minor planet formerly known as Asteroid 3163/1981QM C, now know as "3163 Randi – in case you've forgotten.)
Take a look at an article by Max Fagin that appeared recently in CSICOP's Skeptical Briefs. It may be an approach that you can use to explain and/or resolve the strange situation in which an otherwise intelligent person exhibits an embrace of irrational beliefs. Max's personal experiences with this problem reveal the varied turns and twists that you can expect to find when trying to get through to the challenged devotee of woo-woo. This is no Grand Solution to the puzzle, but it certainly gives the reader fair warning of what can be found in the mind of The True Believer. It can be found at www.csicop.org/sb/2006-06/predictions.html. Generously provided by Barry Karr.
Faithful long-time reader Paul C. Anagnostopoulos, referring to last week's item at www.randi.org/jr/2006-08/082506yet.html#i5, provides us with his own favorite hilarious quote from Guattari, in his "Chaosmosis" – which title is – in itself – a minor titter. Writes Guattari:
We can clearly see that there is no bi-univocal correspondence between linear signifying links or archi-writing, depending on the author, and this multireferential, multidimensional machinic catalysis. The symmetry of scale, the transversality, the pathic non-discursive character of their expansion: all these dimensions remove us from the logic of the excluded middle and reinforce us in our dismissal of the ontological binarism we criticised previously. A machinic assemblage, through its diverse components, extracts its consistency by crossing ontological thresholds, non-linear thresholds of irreversibility, ontological and phylogenetic thresholds, creative thresholds of heterogenesis and autopoiesis. The notion of scale needs to be expanded to consider fractal symmetries in ontological terms.
Bear in mind that this gobbledygook is actually intended to be serious work from a real scientist, folks. Can you imagine how convoluted it can get when this poor man tries to make a simple request? I'll bet he can improve on this post-modern version – which I have created – of, "Please pass the salt":
If your satisfaction factor is met sufficiently, I would be edified upon your eventual temporary, mechanically-implemented, digital ("hand"-referenced) transfer of the observed and indicated container of natrum muriaticum, in my direction.
Hey, that's not bad at all! It's unclear, muddy, overdone, and complicated. Maybe I can now say I'm a real scientist…?
Back in 1991, I taped a series for Granada TV at their Manchester studios. It was titled, "James Randi – Psychic Investigator." For one episode, I invited the very popular TV stars Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie to participate. These are both very level-headed guys who deride the paranormal and the supernatural in much the same way that I do. To observe this, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOi1Jj11fo4 where you'll see a very clever skit in which Hugh Laurie pretty well borrows from the phrasing of a Geller performance to portray a typical "psychic" guessing-session, when interviewed by Stephen Fry.
We all three – Fry, Laurie, and I – stayed at the Manchester Holiday Inn while producing the series. One night, the fire alarm went off and a thousand or so guests of the hotel poured out onto the streets clad in white bathrobes, and looking very much as if the Roman Senate had assembled outdoors and late at night. Well, Fry and Laurie were quickly recognized by the crowd, though I went pretty well unnoticed. My series had not yet begun to assail the UK audience. In any case the three of us ended up doing a bit of "busking" right there on the street. There were no curtain calls – no curtain, you see – and there was little time for bows or for applause.
Presently, Hugh Laurie is wowing American audiences with his TV series, "House," the story of a very irreverent and acerbic medical diagnostician – Dr. Gregory House – and I envision all sorts of awards coming to this series and to actor Laurie. In any case reader Brian Miller provides us with a few quotes from the "House" script:
You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.
Faith; that's another word for ignorance, isn't it? I've never understood how people can be so proud of believing in something with no proof at all, like that's an achievement.
I fear for the human race. A teenager claims to be the voice of God and people with advanced degrees are listening.
You can see much more about this interesting series, which can be seen Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. on Fox-TV, by going to www.tv.com/house/show/22374/summary.html. In any case, you can see that Hugh Laurie and I pretty well agreed on a basic philosophy.
At www.randi.org/jr/032803.html I related a news item about a fish that was providing apocalyptic messages to anyone who would listen. Well, it seems that the report was read and believed by the King of Woo-Woo, Uri Geller, who gets all his media space these days by making inane comments that the popular press just cannot pass up. Yes, Uri is urging us to accept weeping/bleeding virgin statues, chatty fish, and statues that drink milk. He says,
I believe that in a cynical and skeptical world, signposts for the human spirit must be luminous and unmistakable. Subtle hints to the soul go unnoticed. The message has to be delivered in lurid capitals and bellowed through a megaphone. If messages through a fish seem an eccentric way for God to communicate, it is important to remember the higher intelligence has been attempting to communicate with us for thousands of years through more conventional and low-key means, such as books. So a fish makes an excellent loudspeaker for a Torah reading.
Ah, that clarifies this for us all. I must admit, it had me puzzled.
(Now, a burning question here is whether or not Geller actually believes this juvenile fantasy-trip. I'd vote for "not," because it's obvious that he's frantically scratching at every door, just trying to keep in view. He's smart enough to know better, but cunning enough to promote such woo-woo because he knows it will provide yet another line or two in the media. Just my opinion, of course.)
Though I suspect that it might be illegal – and is certainly impolite – to encourage the daft in their delusions, author Irene Thompson, whose book "It's A Miracle" is published this month, believes that these revelatory events are becoming increasingly tailored to the needs of ordinary people. She writes:
They aren't just rare, dramatic, biblical and life-changing experiences, they are more likely to happen to ordinary people going about their daily lives. There is usually no logical explanation for why a miracle has happened, a life was saved or a patient cured. Even if an explanation can be attributed to natural phenomena, the timing and combination of factors influencing the miracle suggest the intervention of God or a higher power.
Ms. Thompson, you'll note, satisfies the requirements of a woo-woo author. She automatically incorporates a belief in a deity, she asserts that there are no other explanations for claimed miracles, and she says that just the reports of miracles establish that they actually occurred. This may be a new level of credulity for other authors to emulate. It certainly sells books.
Currently, these wonders are all around us. Hundreds of thousands of devotees flocked back to temples in northern India this last month as the news spread that – once again – statues of an elephant-headed Hindu god named Ganesh were drinking milk. See www.randi.org/jr/080202.html for a previous account of this miracle. A pregnant woman recently spotted Jesus watching over the baby in her womb during a routine ultrasound scan. He apparently had the time to devote to this task, ignoring nuns drowning in the Mediterranean. Religious inscriptions and symbols have been found inside freshly sliced vegetables. A Blessed Virgin was discovered in a Mexican puddle, and across a Florida skyscraper, and even in a pork rind in a pub. From Western Australia to Spain, statues have been crying perfumed tears or, even more dramatically, weeping streams of blood; though samples of the blood often test out as from a male donor, the rationalization is offered that this is Mary's son's blood, you see. In Pittsburgh, the image of Jesus has appeared to a woman in a recent magnetic resonance imaging scan of her body. And another woman has discovered an entire crucifixion scene in an x-ray of her spine.
Spell that, "crucifiction."
So Geller and Thompson, as well as millions of the blindly faithful, discover sacred symbols, faces, and even gods, in everything from veggies to medical scans.
And the world turns…

NFL Draft First-Round Riches: Rams, Jets, Vikings Multiple Picks

TALLAHASSEE (AP) - National civil rights and Latino groups are monitoring the Florida legislature's immigration debate and say they're weighing a boycott of the Sunshine State depending on what lawmakers finally pass.
During a conference call Tuesday, the National Council of La Raza and other groups said they are discussing the issue with their members and want to be careful not to hurt the very people they represent. A quarter of Floridians are Latino, and many are immigrants.
The Florida Senate is set to vote Tuesday on an immigration bill encouraging local law enforcement to check the status of those arrested. It would also require employers to follow stricter procedures when checking whether a new hire is eligible to work in the U.S.
A tougher version of the proposal has passed the House.

Film Review: Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth (1992)
SYNOPSIS: When J.P. (Kevin Bernhardt), a playboy club owner, buys a mysterious-looking puzzle box and mistakes it for a work of art, he has no idea that Pinhead, "the Black Pope of Hell" (Doug Bradley), is trapped inside. Playing tricks on his captor's mind, Pinhead tries his best to manipulate J.P. into breaking him out of his prison — that is, until an astute journalist (Terry Farrell) begins to suspect something.

It is an art when waste can be turned into something useful.
It was an occasion where the creative talent of children was in full flow. Children from 14 educational institutions belonging to the National Education Society (NES) of Shimoga from Std III to Std X were engaged in a week long "Lalitakala Shibira" (fine arts camp) held in Shimoga recently.
They displayed their talent turning waste materials into artefacts. Children were taught how to make attractive art pieces like flower pots, dolls, wall hangings and other fancy items out of clay, bamboo sticks and other materials.
The exhibition of the art pieces arranged at the end of the camp won appreciation. The parents found it diffcult to believe the level of creativity of their children when they saw the exhibits. 73 children from select schools of the NES from Chiluru, Konanduru, B.R.Project, Belagutti and Humcha, attended the camp. The organisers made arrangements for their stay in various local schools during the camp.
The NES has been holding the camp for children for the last 13 years with a view to hone the latent talent among children by engaging them in creative art work.
Children who shared their experiences in their camp said that they were immensely rewarded as it helped them in giving a definite shape to their talents.

The number and size of fish caught by anglers are the most popular information. This is called "Catch Per Unit Effort" by fisheries biologists. However in an attempt to grasp the full underwater picture, they will use a range of sampling techniques. Each method has a degree of sampling bias or selectivity for a species or a size, so biologists must consider such factors as: time of day, season, temperature, habitat and turbidity of the…

Why We Love Fish Conservation Projects (and You Should, Too)
When you have a "less than stellar" day of fishing, which excuses do you use? My list tends to include things like the weather, a lack of bait, the wrong bait, the fact that I forgot my lucky fishing hat or the fact that another boat or person was in my favorite spot. While any day on the water is a good day in my opinion, you may also be a bit like me and…
Constant Contact: 5 Great Tips for Catch and Release Fishing
One of the most effective ways to catch fish is to use natural bait. And one of the best ways to release fish caught with bait is to keep in constant contact with that bait. Undetected hits can lead to deep hook removals, thus reducing the chances of watching fish swim away unharmed to catch another day. Here are the 5 tips for Catch and Release Fishing with bait: Choose the right hook shape and…

About Eva Woodsmall
My husband and I had long dreamed of owning a home in Temecula. We purchased this home out of a love for the beautiful area, hoping one day we could retire here. Until then we have decided to share our home with others wanting to experience all that Temecula offers. We have worked hard to update the home and instill an elegance to it. We hope you love it as much as we do. It has casually gained the name Peppercorn Ranch due to the numerous mature Peppercorn trees on the property but over the course of the last four years we have added a vineyard and just this year it officially transformed into Spero Vineyards, a magical place where everyone feels welcome.
Eva Woodsmall purchased this house in 2010
Why Eva Woodsmall chose Temecula
The area is beautiful with a vineyard directly on site and across the street. Its a fantastic location close to wine tasting and numerous groves. Its really location, location, location! You cannot get closer to wine tasting and now this house allows you stay on a small vineyard.

With the Butler County Grizzlies in town, the Pratt Beavers needed to take a couple of wins in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. After dropping a close game in the opener 2-1, the Beavers bounced back and won the second game 7-1.
Aaron Berenson had two hits and Skylar Dean had two hits and the lone RBI for Pratt in the 2-1 loss. Tyler Huffstickler took the loss allowing two runs in six innings while walking five hitters and he struck out three.

Day-to-day, much of my energies are devoted to teaching, coaching and advising my students. Having some free time during the summer months has allowed for opportunities to experience the world beyond the US. I've spent significant periods of time immersed in some amazing cultures. Most recently, I spent a summer teaching in Nepal, and in Poland a few years before that. I'm also also inspired by music of all kinds, and have been banging the drums for years. I recently bought a small electronic kit so that I can play in my Mt. Vernon loft without making much noise. Live music is always fun -- saw Thievery Corporation a few weeks ago and went to my first Phish concert earlier in the summer... Been playing a ton of tennis lately. Do you play? Looking for intelligence, wisdom, independence, and subtle beauty. "But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Runic taking break from Torchlight after Mac version, not working on Torchlight MMO
"While we have no plans to begin work on an MMO, that's partly because we have no plans, period!" Runic CEO Max Schaefer told Joystiq today. "We're waiting to do the Mac port of Torchlight 2, and fix whatever launch issues we have, and then decide after we've had a good night's sleep or three. It is likely that nothing that would be called an MMO is the next thing we do, though, but that's not 100 percent certain."
Runic president Travis Baldree said something similar today on Reddit: "I'll be frank, we have no plans to jump into that right now. The landscape is a little different than a few years ago, and creating the amount of content we did for Torchlight 2 was a supreme effort with a team this size. Taking on an MMO immediately afterward is not our current desire."
There had been previous allusions, along with expectations of Runic parent-company Perfect World, regarding the Torchlight MMO, but our attempts to further clarify were not answered by publishing. Torchlight 2 launched today on PC.

Leaders view new Titanic complex
The first and deputy first ministers have joined in remembering the victims of the Titanic disaster during a visit to the Titanic Belfast complex.
Peter Robinson said the building, which opens on Saturday, was a celebration of the workmanship that led to Belfast being a world leader in shipbuilding.
Martin McGuinness said the building was also a fine commemoration of the more than 1,500 people who lost their lives.
He revealed that a relative, Hugh Rooney, had worked on the ship.
Mr Robinson was asked on BBC Radio Evening Extra programme about the significance of Martin McGuinness standing beside him in shipyard surroundings that many Catholics previously regarded as hostile.
"I think it further demonstrates that we are indeed in a new era," he said.
"There's a new spirit in Northern Ireland, there's a strong confidence for the people of Northern Ireland that they can move forward, that they can work towards prosperity.
"So I think it's a sign of the times that people in Northern Ireland have now left the Troubles behind and they are wanting to see a bright future."'World leader'
The first minister said the Titanic Belfast complex was a facility that people from Northern Ireland and from around the world "would just have to see".
"It's a facility that matches anything else in the world," he said.
"It is a celebration of the workmanship that led to Belfast being the world leader in shipbuilding a century ago, but it is also a commemoration to mark the death, in the icy seas of the Atlantic of over 1,500 people."
Martin McGuinness said: "It's an absolutely stunning building and as I predicted in the United States last week, this would be a world news story and it certainly has been in the course of the last couple of days.
"At the time when we were taking our decision at the executive to pour something like £40m into this, some questions were asked, because of the history of it, if we should be doing this.
"I have to say I was always very much in favour of this, because this is our attempt to write a new history, to move forward in a positive and constructive way, a very inclusive way."
Mr McGuinness said he had a "great stake" in the weekend's events because his father's uncle, Hugh Rooney, worked in the shipyard as a carpenter-joiner and helped with fitting out the Titanic in 1911.
"I'm very proud of that and I'm very proud of our family's association with that event at that time," he said.
