Sunrise 11Friday, June 18th, 2010
This concludes the current sunrise series.
I'm thinking of re-doing my photo wall. That would mean removing, or rearranging, pictures of the Opera House, statues (both living and, well, statue-y), butterflies, birds, and a sea dragon.
Still exploring who I might be, photographically. In the near future, I hope to buy a new camera that will allow […]
Sunrise 10Thursday, June 17th, 2010
I wanted to know what would happen if I removed all the color from a sunrise. If I played a little with the contrast. I could've played more, but I wanted it to lean toward natural rather than artificial (unlike yesterday's sunrise).
Sunrise 8Wednesday, June 16th, 2010
Confession time: I'm trying to exercise more, and in more ways; one of those ways includes walking. Even counting steps every day. However, it's very, very hard to go out for an afternoon walk during your lunch break when the temperature outside, with heat index, is at 105.
Best alternative? I'm thinking Midnight Strolls. But it's […]

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Kihei Bay Surf is a cozy 2 story complex of 80 studio condos across the street from the beach. The complex is well kept and clean, with a great pool and jacuzzi area, complete with lounge chairs, 2 barbecues and tables, tennis court, laundry room, and plenty of parking. Our condo is a second floor unit, with private lanai overlooking the tennis court and pool area. Recently remodeled, it has everything to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. Kitchen is fully equipped with all you need to prepare your meals and dine in, coffee maker,toaster, crock pot, ice maker and blender for those drinks on the lanai! It has a very comfortable queen size bed, 32 inch flat screen TV, DVD player, cable, wireless internet, and phone with free nationwide and Canada calls. Pay per view can be arranged. There is a radio CD cassette player or you can play music Cd's in the DVD player, so bring your favorites. Dresser with 3 big drawers and a closet for hanging clothes, so unpack, put suitcases in closet, and stay awhile! There is an ironing board and iron, as well as a clothes basket for your convenience. Condo is uncluttered and roomy, with 12 foot of glass across front wall. With a fan in the vaulted ceiling, the air conditioner hardly gets used, as with locking front door security screen, front door can be left open and the islands ocean breeze flows right thru the condo. There are tennis racquets and balls in the closet, along with chairs for the beach, cooler, beach towels, boogie board, and air mattress for pool. Across the street is Kalepolepo Park and the NOAA Humpback Whale sanctuary. The sunsets are magnificent from this stretch of beach, that runs continuously all the way around the bay to the Maui Ocean Center, approx. 8 miles, making a great place for a morning walk or run. Lahaina is 45 minutes away, where you can take a ferry to Lanai or Molakai, or whale watching cruises, snorkeling trips out to Molokini.This complex is perfectly located and quiet and this condo is the perfect home base for all your Maui activities. Why spend your vacation money on expensive lodging when you spend so little time there anyway? Relax here at the Bay Surf and fall in love with Maui and all it has to offer.
We are Patrick and Catherine Reichert. We were married 4 years ago on Makena beach here on Maui, and have come back every year since for our anniversary. We live in Montana, and a midwinter getaway is much to our liking. Montana is very beautiful in it's own way, but there is no beach there! We are both self employed, making it a bit easier to get away for time out! I am in construction and Catherine is a hair stylist. Both our families live in Montana, and it is home, but we feel right at home when we're in Maui as well. We both thank you for taking the time to look at our listing and condo, and we hope you will decide to come and share this special place with us.
Patrick and Catherine Reichert
Patrick Reichert purchased this condo in 2012
We stayed here at the Bay Surf in February of 2012 and had such a great time that we decided to purchase a condo here. We both love to walk on the beach, listening to the waves, looking for shells and watching for whales.There is 8 miles of continuous walking beach right across the street. We love the sunshine, and Kihei gets the most sunshine, and the ocean is a bit calmer here as well. Everything we need is close by, and our condo is comfortable and cozy, and the complex is well cared for and relaxing. You can find bigger and fancier places, but you won't find one more relaxing. Our unit is back from the street, making it quiet both day and night.
I never like staying in a motel and living out of a suitcase. When we stay at our condo, we feel like we are at home. Once the shopping is done and the fridge is stocked, it's time to take a swim, lay by the pool, or find a beach to enjoy. We can eat out on the lanai and enjoy the cool breezes and the starry night sky. I can't think of a better way to unwind and relax.
Located on South Kihei Road, which runs along the beach from north Kihei clear down thru Wailea and Makena.There are many shops, restaurants, taverns, grocery stores and beaches all along this road, making it easy to find whatever you need. The shops at Wailea is a beautiful mall with great restaurants and the golf courses there have beautiful views of the ocean. The beaches are awesome and you can rent any equipment you need to enjoy the ocean all up and down this stretch.

The Importance of Genre
I am constantly asked about genre, as though it's a mark of quality, and I find myself wondering about how important such a thing is. Is genre just a title, a category to help us group stories into classes of pre-determined judgment, or is it something more?
Stephen King's books are widely regarded as horror, but this is also the man who penned such greats as The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Neither of those stories would ever be thought of as horror, unless you're an idiot. He also wrote The Running Man and the somewhat cult-classic Dark Tower series, both possibly classed as science fiction, and yet somewhat not. I mean, if you really delve into any of his novels, there's a hell of a lot more there than mere horror, and yet everyone seems to think of him as a horror writer.
My first publisher classed The Dark Path as a horror novel, a genre I would have never imagined when I wrote it, and yet it's gone on to great success from both people who profess to love and those who detest horror. Since taking things into my own hands, I've decided to change its categories to action/adventure and thriller, both of which it slots perfectly into, and yet these do not define it. The same goes for my Prometheus Wars series; both books could be classed as anything from mythology to paranormal, but the heart of the books is adventure, and as such that's how they're categorized, much to my chagrin. Tiny boxes make for even smaller windows, and when trying to get readers to notice you, you want the biggest damn Plexiglas window in the world.
Genre is a useful tool, but it's also a double-edged sword. For instance, I know there are hundreds (possibly thousands) of phenomenal books out there I will probably never read simply because they're classed as romance novels. No matter how gripping a synopsis reads I doubt I'll dip my toe into a romance on the off chance it slides into a stereotypical estrogen-fuelled sappy-saga.
No offense to romance fans, but I'd rather put my face in a blender than read about heaving bosoms and engorged loins. And yet I know chances are many of those stories classed as romances are brilliant, and in no way limited to what I perceive a stereotypical romance to be. This is my loss, and all because of my prejudging of the genre, much like another reader might see a book classed as horror and expect to be terrified by ghosts and scary clowns.
So is genre good?
Much like pigeonholing people, typecasting books so blindly is ignorant. And yet we need it. There's no swifter way to identify subject matter other than genre categorization. It draws the reader in to read more about a book they will hopefully like, and until each author reaches the same heights of popularity as the King, we will continue to class our writing in such a way.

Short Story – BLOOD
I've noticed my blog getting a little bit too sensitive and flowery for my taste. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't want to suddenly look down and realize I've grown a vagina and I'm crying at daffodil commercials. And so I wrote something to remind us all what I truly am. Enjoy.
There was so much of it, covering him, consuming him. He could not escape its cloying effect upon his skin; its bitter, coppery taste as it gagged him.
And he loved it.
Or at least a part of him did.
Part of him rebelled at the things he had done to people he did not know, but the greater part, the stronger part, quashed what little rebellion remained within his mind to such a point he could barely remember his own name anymore. All he knew was the exultation he felt every time he cut open an artery and the hot, crimson liquid of life flowed out and over him.
They would eventually catch him, of that he had no doubt. The lack of control he had shown had resulted in crime scenes thick with evidence – almost as thick as they were with blood – but he didn't care. The addiction was too strong, the need to cut and tear, maim and chew… he had no control anymore.
In the start he'd had control, or at least thought he had. He could stop himself back then, in fact he had done so on more than one occasion when the morality he still held within had rebelled at his actions.
But no more.
He could no more control these urges than a fisherman could control the tide, and though he might try to stop himself, each time he knew it was futile. Eventually they would catch him, and he would go peacefully, hoping they put him with other prisoners, but if they didn't… oh well.
For now, however, he had other things on his mind. He stared at the young man who had tried to terrify him in the bar with bravado, mocking him in front of the young man's friends and prancing like a peacock. He was no peacock anymore, had no cock at all, in fact. The young man had first been angry, then disbelieving, as they all were, then afraid, and now he was terrified.
The crying had finally stopped, but not before he had threatened to slice the man's eyelids off completely in order to get to the ducts hidden beneath; this was the only way to stop the crying without blinding or killing the victim, and it wasn't time for killing… yet. He was enjoying this far too much to end it so soon.
For all his bravado, the fight the young man had put up was pathetic in its incompetence. Versed in various forms of martial arts himself, the fact the young man had been so easy to incapacitate and handcuff had been a true disappointment. He had made up for that by slowly severing the man's feet and sealing the wounds with duct-tape. It really could fix anything.
Such an action was ultimately messy, but he didn't mind. The blood contained the life, the soul, of the young man, and to be touched by it was like a special kind of sacrament. In a way, what he was doing to the young man was the greatest compliment; he was worshiping his life in a way no other ever would, but the young man didn't appreciate that, he merely kept trying to scream around the duct-tape sealing his mouth.
The man kept flopping around on the floor like a fish whenever he made a cut, making things difficult. Several times he had come close to nicking an artery, especially when he was working up near the man's groin, but that was the price he had to pay for working under these conditions. He brandished the scalpel once more and moved forward, deciding this time to take the legs off at the –
The door to his storage shed banged open and before he knew it a dozen bodies were converging on him, smashing him into the ground, cuffing his hands behind him. The young man cried out like a bitch as they tore the duct-tape from his lipless mouth.
Stupid cops.
But they'd been smart enough to catch him, and before he knew it he was sitting in a padded cell, restrained in a nice canvas jacket with leather buckles going all the way up his back as well as one which went between his legs. It was very secure.
He was done.
There was no arguing it; he was going to rot in this cell or one exactly like it for the rest of his life. He might not know much, but he remembered the state he was in didn't support the death penalty, so this was it forever.
No more blood, no more life, no more joy.
Glancing up at the camera, he turned away from it, sitting with his face pointed towards the corner, his legs pulled up towards his chest. This would be difficult to do without getting caught, but those many sessions of yoga would finally pay off, as would his meticulous dental care.
It took a while of nuzzling and digging, but he finally found it and clamped down hard with his incisors, sawing back and forth at the thick leathery texture. On the cameras it would probably look like he was trying to satisfy himself sexually, but by the time they realized what he was actually doing he would be free.
As he felt it start to sever between his teeth, he heard the door open behind him, but they were too late. Once he was free they wouldn't be able to stop him, not this time. The rushing of feet sounded and he gave a last, final wrench –
And was loose.
The blood from the severed femoral artery in his thigh sprayed hard against the white padding, and he pushed his face into it, savouring the last time, drinking deeply just before hands grabbed him and pushed his face into the ground. But they were too late; the scene was already fading before him.
The last thing he saw was his own blood congealing on his eyeballs, and he licked his lips, savouring the taste for the final time….

Second Excerpt from THE DARK PATH
Vain gazed through the crowd. He knew the little drunk hid in Mason's somewhere and he needed the information he could provide. He also knew the man wouldn't want to be found and that would be why he loitered in such a public place. He would expect Vain to avoid Mason's because of the amount of people gathered here; he knew the Dark Man's abhorrence of crowds.
What he did not know was that the Dark Man would go to any lengths to get what he needed, and right now he needed to find the man known on the street as Squirrel.
Vain found Squirrel in a darkened corner booth nuzzling up to a toothless prostitute who looked like she'd recently devoured an entire buffalo. Either he nuzzled up to her or she was simply so enormously fat that he had to squash his face into her ample bosom to avoid being dumped onto the floor. Vain approached them, smoothly gliding through the crowd. Squirrel looked up and very nearly swallowed his tongue at the shock of seeing the assassin standing before him.
"Leave us," commanded the Dark Man without even looking at the hooker.
"Why should I, cutie? The three of us could have a great party together."
"If you don't leave now, you fat slut," whispered Vain venomously, "I'll cut off those lumps of lard you call tits and feed them to you raw."
Her look of enticement turned swiftly to one of terror, glimpsing the fury within the Dark Man's eyes. She almost tore the diminutive figure of Squirrel apart in her haste to escape. Vain calmly took the seat she had so agreeably vacated and sat in silence, pinning the fretting young drunkard with a withering glare.
"Well, um, ah, sir. What brings you to this part of the neighborhood?" Squirrel asked nervously.
"You do," said Vain simply. This increased the sweat popping from the rapidly sobering Squirrel's temple.
"Ah, me, um, ah. What can I do for you today?" Squirrel was clearly uncomfortable in the Dark Man's presence, but the scrawny little man would never find the balls to refuse him, Vain thought contemptuously. Something about the Vain made normally brave men think of mortality. Men who weren't so brave, like Squirrel, turned to water at the mere sight of him.
"Why are you trying to hide from me, little man?"
"Hide? Me? From you? No, um, no sir. I'm simply laying low after your most recent exploits–I mean your last job," he corrected hastily.
"You call this laying low? And why would you need to lay low after a job of mine?" inquired Vain quietly, casually scanning the room for anyone who might be watching them. No eyes met his.
"Well, sir, some people might think I knew something and come after me for information," said Squirrel.
"You know nothing of my actions, or me, so don't try to bullshit me with those stories. Save them for your drunken friends. Why did you try to hide from me? Or should we dispose of the Squirrel's nuts?" Vain pressed a short bladed knife against the squirming man's testicles, pricking the skin through the cloth of his pants.
"No! God no!" squealed the little man. "Dante has been contracted for you! He's been paid to collect your head, and has sworn to kill anyone associated with you. That's why I'm hiding. I swear it," he finished huskily.
Vain drew back the knife, and considered Squirrel's words. Dante's exploits were well known as both effective and painful, almost as notorious as his own. Unlike the Dark Man, however, he reveled in his kills and enjoyed the notoriety his position entailed. Everyone from the lowest drug dealer to the Mayor of New York knew who he was, but no one had ever been able to touch him. The man had an almost sixth sense for traps and danger of any kind. Thus, even though elite task forces and assassins had been deployed to entrap him, he always escaped, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
"Dante is hunting me?" Squirrel nervously nodded and the Dark Man chuckled hollowly. "How unfortunate for him. Has he come to see you yet?"
Again Squirrel nodded, "But I told him nothing, I swear."
"Of course not. Like I said, you know nothing about me anyway. However, you must have given him something for you to have enough money to entertain Big Bertha there. What did you tell him?" asked Vain.
"Nothing, I promise you sir," Squirrel began, but at a dark look from Vain he flushed. "I might have said you were looking into the Marcello contract, but that's all, I swear on my pecker."
"You must know more than even I give you credit for Squirrel. Only a select few have even heard of the Marcello contract, let alone know who's been contacted for it." Vain offered no hint of emotion. "However, for your own sake, I'd try to keep that sort of thing to yourself from now on. Don't you think?" He punctuated the last comment with a sharp jab from the knife still in his hand. Not enough to wound the man, just enough to make his point. Squirrel swallowed heavily.
Without another word, Vain rose from the booth and started towards the exit.
"Wait sir, one more thing before you go."
Not turning, the Dark Man grunted, "What is it?"
"It's said that Dante is staying at the Royal Hotel. Possibly on the sixth or seventh floor, in case you were wondering."
"I might just pay him a visit," whispered Vain maliciously, striding out into the night.

Check out how a couple from Spokane, WA is paying for their wedding by recycling aluminum cans. Both setting a green example, and coming together in love, Andrea and Pete are an interesting couple with more than a wedding on their minds. I got the opportunity to be the makeup artist on set for the video filming of their satellite interviews, which were featured on a variety of radio and TV stations around the nation. It was a pleasure working with such a fun and unique couple. What a clever idea they came up with too! Please visit their website: www.weddingcans.com for more information and how you might be able to help with reach their goal of collecting over 400,000 aluminum cans!

Has this been discontinued? Or should I start a new thread for the week?
Why do some get listed as Honorable Mention? Is it because the LO was done by a GingerScraps CT?
Lisa - Honorable mentions are for Designers or store CT since we don't really need the GC, but it's super nice to be nominated anyway. :)
I wondered how the honorable mentions were chosen!
can anyone nominate layouts for baker's best? And although no single layout should be nominated more than once, what about nominations of different layouts from the same person?
Thank you! New here...trying to find my way around the kitchen a bit!
The first thread has been updated with revised guidelines.

I believe in doing my duty as a Catholic, so I go to Mass every Sunday. But I really get bored. Every Mass seems like the same old thing to me. I don't want to get to the point where I'll stop going to Mass because I don't see anything in it. Help me!

Broadway Or Bust
The Casting CallEpisode Guide »
From a nationwide casting call of more than 50,000 high school students participating in 30 regional competitions, just 60 musical theater performers earn the right to participate for one week in the National High School Musical Theater Awards competition. Cameras follow these talented performers, the best in the country, to New York, where they meet their colleagues face-to-face. As day one unfolds, they learn a new opening number from director Van Kaplan and choreographer Kiesha Lalama, get one-on-one coaching in music, theater, dancing and acting from some of Broadway's top talent - including Leslie Odom, Jr. ("Smash"; Rent); Michael McElroy (Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations for Big River; Rent, Miss Saigon); Liz Callaway (Tony Award nomination for Baby; Cats, Miss Saigon) - and prepare for their solos in front of an influential group of judges. The episode ends with students wondering, "Do I have what it takes to make it on Broadway?"

text: is weight gainer products recommended only for people who have alot of mass and need the calories, or can anyone take it? i was thinking about buying some cytosport cyto gainer and taking it only after a workout instead of the recommended 3 times a day because i dont think im nearly big enough to justify taking it 3 times a day. is this a bad idea or should i just stick to a protein shake after a workout?

Cry Vengeance
1954 Directed by Mark Stevens
The call of the avenger . . .
Ex-cop Vic Barron crossed the wrong mobsters; his wife and child were killed and he himself scarred, framed and imprisoned. On release, Vic has but one desire, revenge on still-hiding Tino Morelli.

Noir in the woods! Location work in Ketchikan, Alaska enhance this familiar tale of revenge with a solid lead from actor/director Mark Stevens as the disfigured Vic Barron. The story features many noir standards, but the switch in location to far-flung Alaska lends a distinguishable look that sets it apart from other films. Instead of the typical downtown city streets, we see distinctive locales that although outdoors and in daylight, cast their own particular spell. A conversation under a wooden bridge with debris, a boat ride out to an ancient holy place, and a foot chase across a dam; all are highlights of the location work showcased in this film. The performances are also quite engaging. Most noteworthy are Stevens (also the director of the film) and Skip Homeier as the blond haired killer looking to ruin the lives of a number of people in the far off Alaskan town.
The only Noir film to take place in Alaska, Cry Vengeance has all the elements of a great, gritty, B-grade crime film, but manages to waste most of that potential with clumsy pacing and plotting. We have a great revenge story, a wrongfully convicted cop just out of prison, whose family was murdered. Did I mention his deformed face?! A creepy, sleazy blonde villain, femme fatales, triple crossing, and a remote Alaskan fishing village for a setting.
The highlight of the movie was seeing that they actually shot it Ketchikan, giving the film a unique and convincing feel. There's a lot of great long shots following characters as they move about the small town. However, I also feel like it…
"Look creep...why don't you take off before I take you apart."
Apart from some interesting location shooting showing mid-50's Alaska, the rest of this crime drama is completely forgettable - the direction, cinematography and acting are all very pedestrian.
It was ok, but it didnt really do anything for me. It was a cop seeking revenge on a man who killed his family but it wasnt as simple as that. There wasnt technically anything wrong with it, a few odd lines here and there but it just didnt grab me like other noirs
What do you do when you get framed for bribery, your face is disfigured and your wife and child are killed? You seek revenge, even if it takes you to Ketchikan, Alaska. Mark Stevens (The Dark Corner, The Street With No Name) both stars and makes his directorial debut with a cheapie Big Heat knockoff, but it's a tasty little morsel. Stevens gives the best performance I've seen from him, cold and intense, and leads a mighty fine cast of B-roster supporting players. The characters are so engaging that the deaths are tangibly felt by the viewer. Pretty much everyone in this movie is fun to watch, especially Skip Homeier as the suave, menacing gangster and Joan Vohs as his…
